Three and Out bring on Haack......If this pattern doesn't change immediately this team will fall into the abyss and become the Dolphins we are all too used to. It's time for Gase and the coaching staff to figure out how to get 5-6 yards on first down not 1-2 yards. Third and long are absolutely killing this team! Then all of the Tanny haters emerge and say it's his fault etc., etc. Pound the rock for positive yards and not out of the shotgun formation either. LET's GO!!!!!!!

Don Shula usually had his first series or even two scripted.
 
So is our season and everybody else's. NFL knows who is going to the Super Bowl before the season even starts.

Do players have it written into their play books so they know when to drop balls and get injured and stuff?

Geezz. Really. Then it's a conspiracy. I always thought it was fixed. Damn you NFL!!!! Sometimes it does seem fixed. Makes you wonder huh?

Some people will believe anything if it allows them to avoid the truth that the Dolphins haven’t been a great football team in a very long time (or even a good one for the last fifteen years or so).
 
When I played High School Ball in 1987 as a QB at Fontana High School my coach always scripted 15-20 plays. He never changed them.

Gase is the same way 15-20 plays scripted. If he is winning on the plays, he continues the script. If he is losing on the plays however, (this make me mad sometimes) is he continues with the script. Great coaches and even good ones will tell you if things are going bad you change the script fast. (For example 2nd and 17) Throw not run for half or more. If at 3rd and 5 (short slants and quick outs). If 3rd and 3 or less run counter or dive up the middle or off tackle. Gase does the opposite. Run and the short pass. Good teams (always throw twice. Sometimes get it on 2nd down.

I am all for Dowell Loggains to take over playcalling and for him to do it in the booth. It is time over GASE to just coach the ENTIRE TEAM not just OFFENSE and Playcalling. RELINQUISH it to the OC.
 
Play calling has been horrible but I don’t think the two yard checkdown is called, it’s Tannehill not having the speed to put the ball where the play is designed to go. One wasted second and it’s basically a busted play to him. He doesn’t play ahead of the play, he is hesitant and pays it safe. Great for his completion percentage, not so good for moving the sticks. He is a great looking quarterback, all the tools, athletic, can take a hit, make all the throws. But there is a slight delay in the cogs up there that doesn’t translate to top tier game speed. We can call it pocket awareness too. Game just hasn’t slowed down for him. It’s the frustrating thing that makes guys like me say he will never be the guy.
 
The flags are killing the O. Putting us in 3rd and long and destroying any rhythm. Especially on our first couple possessions.

Now we have the luxury of missing 2 starters, and a RT who is blocking no one at times to try and manage to convert a 3rd and long. Teams will continue to achieve a successful pass rush with a 4 man rush. Which will allow them to have more db's swarming.

Fun stuff.
 
If it works keep it if not, re do the script. Guess what, it's not working so lets get another scripter.

Wow

Just wow

I've never understood that. I get the logic behind scripting plays, but at some point (3rd and 22) the scripted play (run over left guard) has to give way to reason.

I'm not disagreeing, if that is truly what is happening. Just saying, tons of coaches do that

I think on a lot of those & long plays, we should look for small chunk yardage instead of so many wr screens or runs, if the run game ISNT working
