A Tale of Talent

[So Be]

Say what you will about coaches but, this team is lacking in talent. The OL is an abortion, giving up 6 sacks, 7-8 hits, and a lot of hurries. I don't know if it is any better than last year. Tannehill had little time to throw short, let alone long. Anyone not seeing that is dead wrong.

D is missing playmaker who matter on a consistent basis.

VERY disappointing game but a reality check.

I don't disagree with that, but this team had a 10-0 lead and the ball and had everything going its way. Then it got ultra-conservative, dropped a couple of open passes and the defense screwed the pooch to end the first half.

The talent issue wasn't a problem until the game got tight. And then the Dolphins tightened up. So I don't think talent dictated this outcome as much as coaching and mental toughness did.

Dropping passes, committing stupid penalties, allowing big runs twice when we know they're going to run, all that points to a lack of focus. That's on the coaches. Fire them all.

Albert, Delmas, Moreno. Awesome players Hickey brought in, but all were taken out by injury. Even though I think we have coaching deficiencies. With those 3 players healthy we'd be a different team at this point of the year. They weren't only talented but they had a winning mindset and leadership ability. It's a shame. We never really could have realistically recovered from Albert's injury. I am looking forward to Hickey being given the ability to rebuild and inject new life into this team.

Up a quick 10 - 0. Baltimore's coaches adjusted, changed the game. Miami does not counter coach anything that Baltimore did for the rest of the game. Gets beat up in quarters 2, 3, 4.

When the pressure is on, and in a tight situation, everyone on this team folds quickly.

$50 million dollars, the 19th overall pick, and a 3rd round pick.

Just wait a few more weeks, people will be clamoring for us to spend another first round pick to "finally secure the line". Watch.

Well at least we took the steal of the draft last year in the dominant Dion Jordan. This guy is a beast getting to the qb.

Its coaching. Ravens had practice squad players starting at CB and our coaching staff could do nothing to take advantage.
The good coaching staffs find ways to mask their deficiencies. Harbaugh and his staff outcoached Philbin and his staff.

Those players have a history of injuries. Delmas in particular, the man was injured literally every single week last year. It was totally predictable that they would suffer major injuries. Hickey deserves blame for either incorrectly assuming theyre over their problems or for failing to provide quality backups.

completley agree. Traveled down to the game w some friends who are Ravens fans. They were paranoid about how exposed their secondary was - they sounded like we did all week.

That is on the players. It is ridiculous to blame the coaches. It is not that they were not prepared. The players could not matchup with the defensive line or could not maintain discipline.

 

[iambanned]

Miami couldn't block long enough to take advantage of Balitmore's secondary woes. Our WRs could not win quickly and RT was getting sacked and clearly stopped seeing the field well.

Baltimore cheap-shotted Tanehill and we responded by letting them run the ball down our throats to ice the game. This team has no heart and no guts. The hits got in our QBs head too. Tannehill missed a sure TD and then got sacked. He's also becoming 'Mr Checkdown, unless that's the smart play and then he gets sacked instead of seeing the Checkdown. He sucked today.

Our offense still had produced fewer yards than the Ravens. We have a problem scoring points because we can't adjust our blocking to fix the weak links. I saw Clay and Mathews not knowing their blocking assignment time after time. The team is not coached.

This team has no "marbles"... the last three weeks teams have just lined up and kicked our @$$es. That is what needs to be fixed, we need to be strong up the middle, so we can take advantage of the 'play-makers' we are supposed to have. There was little running room for Miller and no time for RT and after a while they were able to move out the center of the D and run through it. You can not win a championship if you are 'soft' up the middle. Fox? Throw the pig deep early even if it's not close, it makes the safety think instead of playing in the box.
