Practice Squad
Well, being from the northeast and being one of the biggest Fins fans around, it baffles me some of the stuff I hear, read, see, etc. Being that I live in Eagles country, I 've heard some crazy stuff this week after that horrible performance they had last weekend in the NFC championship. The reason I bring up the Eagles is because I hear all these fans call in radio stations and complain about what went wrong. We need wide outs! We need a new coach! We need a running back! Blah Blah Blah. All this garbage make me think about the problems that continue to haunt our beloved Dolphins. I think about everything thats wrong with my team and I've come to a conclusion...
Jay Fielder..hmmphh... what can I say what hasn't been said already. The guy blew it on several oppurtunities, so on and so forth. Well, basically, if you had that offensive line to stand behind, you'd suck too. I am in no way defending the 'black-clouded" Jay, (Interceptions and Fumbles aside) but come on, if you look at the stats, the guy is 4th QB in the Wins rankings just behind McNabb, Manning and Brady. Not bad company. Nor to shabby. Everyone kisses his butt when he does great, but hates him when he's one big ball of suck. Think about it. The QB sitaution needs to be seriously addressed, but not at top priority.
The offensive line...ugghh...what can I say about a line makes me sick everytime I watch them move. They provide Ricky with no room. The guy just barely hit 1500 yards this season, and he was lucky to get that! Feidler and Griese were creamed on several occassions due guards who missed blocks like it was their job. IF I had a dollar for every missed block, I'd own the team. The backs need bigger and more holes. The QB's need some time to throw. That area needs the most improvement. Make it top priority. What good are these phenomenal WR's when the QB's face has been plowed into the dirt and the defense is running it back all because some guy fell asleep or was too out of shape to do his job, Jaime Nails!!!!! (You were released from Buffalo for a reason! DO YOUR JOB!)
You know, with Marino, we didn't have a decent running game and a semi-decent OL. And no D. However, Dan always made up for that. Sure the guy was sacked, but many a time avoided it due to the cannon he has as a left arm. In memory, it's wonderful to think about, buy back here in reality, we don't have that anymore. Every team is a puzzle of six pieces. DL, Secondary, Running game, OL, wide outs and OB's. We have four of those pieces. How hard is this to fix? This game is so corrupted by money, why not throw some money at these FA's and fix it??? It worked in Tampa, St. Louis and New England. Why not here? And why is there no talk about some of these experienced young QB's around the league? John Kitna didn't look half bad this year. Nor did Tim Couch. He may be older, but why not try Kurt Warner? It couldn't hurt us. And the biggest dissapointment is A.J. Feeley. The Dolphins love Eagles 3rd string leftovers (Feilder, Freeman). Why not look at someone worth looking at? I'm convinced he's the NFL's best kept secret. If we don't sign him, someone else will and he'll dominate wherever he goes. I'm 100% sure of that.
Laugh if you like. Sneer if you like, but just like you, I'm a fan, so I'm right in a way. We all are. It's time these owners start listening to the people who pay the bills rather than those who spend their money. We deserve a championship G** D*** IT! Because if I hear one more Eagles fan whine that they didn't make it past the NFC Championship for the THIRD straight year, I'm gonna puke. Hell, atleast they made the playoffs.

LOL...I knew someone would hit me with that. I didn't realize that until after I posted. Ugghh. But as far as Nails goes, my best friend is a huge Bills fan, and after a couple years of Nails bashing, maybe it wore off on me. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as far as the injury goes. Hopefully, next year health will prevail and he'll be better and I will be the first to say I stand corrected. I guess he deserves another chance to prove himself. I mean we gave Fielder 4 YEARS!?!?! (That hurts my brain when I think about it)
