Yes. Now hear me out. I'm going to be like Jeff Darlington, the Fins Ambassador to the NFL world, (you all have noticed his MULTIPLE articles trying to fix the Dolphins name from Media beat down right? He is trying his dangest to make the fins better through national media.)
Ireland has done a great job talent wise, and many of our starters are from the Ireland regime. It comes down to the COACHING in my opinion. Sparano was a great leader, and his players loved him to the bitter end, but he could not pull in that WIN. The Dolphins were a scary team to play down the stretch but they just couldn't pull out the wins in the final minutes!! Think Denver, Giants, Cleveland, Pats, Cowboys, all games the FINS were winning in the 3rd and 4th quarters. This is a coaching problem and not a Player problem (not as much anyway.)
People would be foolish to say that Ireland doesn't know how to scout talent. I'm fully supportive of him, just give it time under a new COACH and see how he does. He gave Philbin a talented team to work with, now lets see if he can utilize it. 1-15 to 11-5 is no easy task. Our defense is not a push over if playing right, we have a full off season with a new coach, and we jumped over and beyond to match up with Green Bay on our big play capability down the stretch.
It was Ingenious of him to trade away Marshall, we all now know about him hitting a women, some of us saw the pictures, he is gone for atleast half the season. SMART move, save the money we need to get more talent and cleanse the team. We signed quite a few names in free agency that no one can complain too much about. Columbo was entirely a Sparano decision, Dansby, Wake, Bush, Burnett, We all loved the Marshall trade the first time around. We can't say they aren't trying. When compared to other teams, we really are getting quite the production out of draft classes, this isn't a biased opinion.
31 other teams are trying to get better every offseason, 31 other teams have aspirations to winning the Superbowl, No matter the "Thanks" or "No Thanks" I recieve, only 1 team will have my support, and that is the MIAMI DOLPHINS.
