Albert apologizes to Tannehill in second quarter of Sundays game

Can we go ahead and call Darlington a fan already? It's ok Jeff, you can come out of the closet now.
 
We added two veterans with very high expectations for themselves and their team.
It's hard to give 110% if you don't believe and these veterans believe they should succeed and excel.
Confidence can be contagious. Even Miller was running with passion and power during that 2nd half.
When guys are kicking butt out there, no one wants to look like a biatch.

You know, some valid criticisms have been made that Hickey could have gone younger and healthier at a lot less the price. However, the more I see the fruits of his labor, the more convinced I am that Hickey has a focused plan and part of it was honing right in on Albert both for inspirational and leadership reasons even above and beyond functionality. This guy seems to know what he's doing and it sure must have been frustrating sitting their in Tampa Bay landlocked watching others make decisions he of course inputted but might not have signed off on himself.

For the record the Bucs have pretty good talent on that team, IMO. Their biggest problems were QB play and the fact that Greg Schiano was an insane fruitcake.
 
the mods are going to have to embed a SUICIDE HOTLINE number on the board.

IF, buffalo beats us this weekend, i shutter what is going to happen with peoples minds on this board.

brady and pats over.

lazor gone after the year he is so brilliant.

hickey is a god and the draft was epic.

WELL, i do agree with some of this, mainly hickey being a good gm and our draft being very good. BUT........, if the bills beat us and we walk out of buffalo with only 9-17 points [and they are good enough to do just that to us], the bipolar depression will wade through this board like the plague and EVERYONE should be fired, we should have gone harder at ray farmer. albert, over rated and a bum. wallace should be cut, the secondary old, washed up and a major blunder by hickey. tanny of course, the only survivor and he would be a pro bowler if he had a gm, coach, o-lines, a run game, better looking chearleaders and colder gatoraide. he wouldnt have thrown the 4 int's had wallace been a tougher guy, etc... .

i actually believe in this team. we have more exellent young talent out of this off season than the past 10 combined. however, i still dont think we have ALL the pieces in place with personel and we are another 3 seasons away from a true title contender. hickey absolutely was the right choice, and everyone knows how hard i lobbied for him and was so estatic about when he was chosen. i think only me and one other guy here. lazor IS the young, hungry, brilliant o/c we have been clamoring for over the last 18 years.

but, we ARE going to take some lumps. we will have some big wins, like the one against the pats, AND some big losses. but if your think bill billichek wont be ready for us after a season of watching our offense, you ARE bipolar. the bills front 7 is stout and their secondary is one of the best in the nfl. they CAN beat us. we can win, but, its not going to be any walk in the park and we will not be scoring 33 points on that team.

i hope fans will realize that should we lose sunday, that we ARE on the right track but we are not THERE yet. there WILL be let downs, big ones. maybe even this sunday. but we ARE in the right hands with hickey, lazor and YES.... philbin. these are the guys who not only deserve a full 3 years, they will need all of it and WILL produce a competative, productive, exciting team.

but i am really and truly worried about many on this board right now. after ONE win, one where we were the same old dolphins in many, many ways for the first half of that game, it has given the fans a "were invincible" attitude and a blind devotion to a gm and o/c who they despised and BUTCHERED just a week before AND since they were hired!! thats bipolar. extreme lows to extreme highs and back down to even worse lows after things dont go well.

just dont do anything rash!! there are other games. many other games. remember this sunday night when your standing on that ledge or running that hose into your car window. we WILL be a great team. good this year, but not great. we FIANLLY have a future so be around for it!!
 
I bet Tanne went to go to the ice bath on Monday and said to himself "no, wait, dont need it. Ill just ice my jaw where Jones popped me instead"

Love the mentality though. Thinking near perfect isnt good enough will surely drive you there if youre mentally tough enough to handle it. Albert is taking over some leadership responsibility on the OL - good.
 
Looking for and edge over the offseason Albert turned to boxing:

Not long after the 2013 season ended, Branden Albert strolled into Matt Baiamonte’s boxing club in Miami. The star lineman wanted quicker hands, improved footwork and stronger conditioning, and decided to spend his offseason in the gym working the bags and jumping rope.

Looking for an edge, he turned to boxing. Albert and a few teammates decided to train with with Baiamonte, who apprenticed under the legendary Angelo Dundee. Within a month of work, he was doing “double unders” on the jump rope.

“For a guy that size, that’s amazing,” Baiamonte said. “He’s a tremendous puncher. He really hits like a heavyweight now.”

Actually, we added 4 veterans - Albert, Moreno, Finnegan and Delmas (don't forget about the DBs). Early days, but all are looking like good acquisitions who will contribute.
 
I know its so early. But this team, attitude, and the way they moved on the field just seem so much different.
