It's so gross it doesn't even look like football. Need a real coach that can scheme to get a first down. And motivate grown, rich men. Adam Gase isn't that guy. And we need to get rid of Mike Tannenclown - he doesn't know football from basketball.
Ross is a Real Estate Mogul. He is all about the money......honey. Football plays second fiddle.
"You can’t have stuff in the NFL where a player falls in the shower and can’t play. You can’t function that way.”
what the hell does this even mean? players only get randomly injured and miss games on poorly run teams?
and gase has been here a year? (regardless of when he was actually hired (January 9th)), we are 5 games into his first season.
The ridicule and shame being thrown at Miami and its fan base, is well deserved.
Not only does the Dolphins’ performance make their own fans’ blood boil, but it apparently has the same effect on network analysts.
Both NBC’s Rodney Harrison and ESPN commentator and former Eagles/Redskins pro personnel director Louis Riddick are appalled by what they’ve seen.
“They have to rip this down, pull this down to the ground. The question is do you have people in place to do that? Adam Gase has only been there for a year, but everyone needs to be evaluated and that product on the field is nowhere close to being good enough. You can’t have stuff in the NFL where a player falls in the shower and can’t play. You can’t function that way.”
I asked Riddick why he sounds so passionate discussing this.
“When it comes to some of these teams and some of the way they flop around out there and put out inept performances, it’s frustrating and annoying to watch, seeing the league recycle the same names who haven’t proven they can build [expletive],” he said.
“There are people who deserve opportunities to build teams and organizations that owners would never consider, because they wouldn’t even know what to consider.
“With the Dolphins, there is a lot of blame to go around. It’s frustrating because there are no excuses in the NFL. The league is built for everyone to have a shot. To have such a long sustained mediocrity, you have deep rooted issues.
“If I am Stephen Ross trying to figure out why we look like crap, I am asking the question, ‘How can we look like this? What the hell is going on?’ And then make the decision about whether we have right people. Right now, they’re not even competitive. Gase said they’re inept on offense – to get the ball run on you like that, with the money they have invested on the defensive line, it’s gross. Someone has to be help accountable.”
Ross is like the mayor in Jaws. How many victims is Ross going to serve up before he begrudgingly admits that he's the "mayor of shark city" and is shamed into making a responsible decision?
He's going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites him in the ass[/QUOT
Hooper is that you?
I'll be disgusted if we don't have any energy on Sunday. This is a classic NFL type situation in which the road team is very good, but not great, and coming off a very satisfying victory. The home team is coming off a string of embarrassing performances including a lopsided home defeat as favorite.
The Steelers may simply outclass us on ability alone. That's mostly irrelevant. This is the first time since the opener we are essentially ridiculed by the pointspread. The Dolphins by all historical and psychological measure should be the more intense and desperate team to open the game. If it doesn't play out that way, then the internal troubles may be more severe than I understand, and way outside normalcy for a team with a rookie head coach at this stage.
