Dolphins And Chargers Stats

Wow you completly butchered the English language in that blog. Good job there.
 
One GLARING weakness I noticed monday night is their special teams play.

If we can do half of what the Jets did to them on ST we can make a game out of it.

I've never been a big fan of Norv Turner, and frankly, with the weapons he has, he is doing a horrible job once again.

Keys to a win:

1) Special Teams
2) Throw the ball away from Cromartie
3) Make Rivers eat dirt all day long

This is really a tough game for us, tougher than Arizona. BUT, luckily its in our house, SD will have a long flight, and I will be sending strippers to their hotel rooms on saturday night. :lol:

Norv Turner took them pretty far last year as Rivers came into his own and played well in the playoffs.

remember that Turner is an offensive guy, and he hasn't done a horrible job at all. Their problem hasn't been offense, it's been defense so far this season. They have given up a lot of points, and given up points in key times late in games ( Carolina and Denver on thier last drives with time running out).. Not having Merriman, their leader on defense, will hurt them defensively this season, as has already been proven thus far.

Remember that horrible call to keep Denver's drive alive late in that high scoring game... If the right call was made, San Diego is 2-1 now.. And their D just gave up a horrible late drive against Carolina to lose that one in the last seconds.

I think Miami can move the ball on that defense.. I don't think Miami can stop that offense though. I am expecting a high scoring game.

I dont disagree with ya much.

I think what I was trying to convey is that he concentrates on one side of the ball at the expense of the other. (Dont get me wrong, losing Merriman didnt help his D at all, but even with Merriman in there the chargers D was lackluster with the exception of Cromartie)

I also think that having players like LT and Gates on O masks alot of his flaws.

But when I used the term weapons I meant more than just offensive weapons, I meant overall talent on both sides of the ball. SD's D was looked upon as one of the most talented in football not long ago, even going into this year.

I thought he botched the Raiders gig and was shocked he got the chargers job.

I think that the Chargers would be a better team with another coach.

On paper the Chargers have us beat hands down. The question is, can we make them play our game? This could very well be a game where coaching is more important than talent, and if our coaches can duplicate what we did last week I think we have a shot.
 
I read all I needed when I saw a poll that had Ginn as the fastest player in the history of the NFL. LOL Ginn is fast but please. I think the Chargers are going to be real hungry and we just dont match up with thier receiving corp very well. They have some very physical big types.
 
38 points is more like it

Yeh but if i had asked you the morning of the dolphins/patriots game if you believed Ronnie was going to run for four TD's and pass for another would you have thought i was crazy? I am sure you would have. The Chargers defense is one of the worst over all defenses in the league. We do have a chance, a very good one, of winning this ball game. I believe.
If you don't believe me about the chargers, just check out this link...

That doesn't mean anything because the Chargers have been notorious slow starters at the start of seasons. By week 4 and 5 is the time they usually turn it on.. Hell, they turned it on already against the Jets Monday night..

And you don't make the playoffs EVERY year because the defense is one of the worst overall in the league. I mean come on, who are you trying to fool with that nonsense ? They are definitely not a great defense, but they are certainly not one of the worst.
