Hayden Fox's Week Four Assessment

I am holding out that Aponte is moved on she smells as bad or worse than Ireland.
 
How great was the scoreboard help this weekend? Plus, next week Buffalo @ Detroit, NYJ @ SD and Cin @ NE? Should be interesting bye.

Bottom line….this is going to be a long battle of ups and downs, but this division is up for grabs.
 
Double reverses seem dumb. Have never thought they made any sense, it seems like half the guys you trick on the single reverse are probably still going to be in the area of where the double is supposed to go.

We have to win the division. I don't see us taking a wild card from Baltimore, KC or San Diego, the way those teams are playing.

I think Houston will fall back to the pack sooner rather than later. JJ Watt is a one man wrecking crew but I just don't trust that team.

* When Jimmy Clausen was highly touted in college, a friend of mine dismissed him as, "just another Clausen." In other words, just like his brother who had failed coming out of Tennessee. This Carr similarly looks like just another Carr. Throw out the adjustments. I'll be wagering against him often when sensible

I was very interested in Jimmy Wilson's locker room interview, where he gave credit to Carr lighting it up early and throwing darts. Jimmy is not prone to congratulate opposing QBs. For him to recognize Derek Carr's talent is significant. Jimmy has one of the highest football IQs on the Dolphin team.
If he says he has a lot of talent, I wouldn't wager against him.
 
Its an interesting QB class, you could have 4 or 5 legit studs or none.

Dawn is an extremely smart (LLB, CPA, MFin, Juris Doctorate, and a member of the NY Bar) and talented senior executive of the team. Our owner is a businessman and he has a top businesswoman as his eyes and ears within the Davie building. Mr Ross spent over $1.1 Billion when he bought the team and he has invested heavily since. While he wants the team to succeed, make no error, he also wants it to be very profitable. Why is it so hard for some of you to appreciate that she is there to protect his investment?
She is not there making football personnel decisions. They are left to Joe Philbin and Dennis Hickey. However, over $100M is spent on footballers every year and Ross has the best football financial and legal brain in the business negotiating every contract. We have avoided salary cap hell because she manages it well.
Do some of you have a problem with having a superior intellect in the organization being a woman? Is she less suitable because she wasn't born with testicles? The negative stuff in the media is driven by the player agents who want to get rid of her because she is a tough negotiator. Bill Parcells recruited her because she was the toughest negotiator in the business and the irony is that she is the best appointment that he made as a Dolphin.
All the player agents would like to negotiate with Jerry Jones because if he loves the player, he will agree to paying whatever he wants.
Stephen Ross wants very dearly for the Dolphins to be the best NFL team and Dawn is a key part of the organization. I am behind her 100%.

Results, sir.

Results.

Smart chicks get no more slack than smart guys.
 
you guys remember tannehill pointing and laughing right before the first half was over? I wanted what he was laughing at.
 
One quick point. Take a step back and think back to the off season. If someone would have said that Misi would have been out as much as he has been, Ellerbe out for the year, Jones out, Jordan out, Turner out at RG, Pouncey out, and Moreno playing one game, and even Wheeler being out the first game, with Tripp and McCain out at LB, I mean to be 2-2 after all those injuries is kinda hard to believe. Although we have had plenty of injuries only the Ellerbe injury is season ending. The rest are coming back and the backups will have experience. We are getting most all of em back while at the same time we are a much deeper team. Our injuries could be quite the silver lining.

We knew the new offensive system would take a few weeks to jell, and having the bye when we do is kinda like hitting a reset. I have to say I feel much better about our chances of winning the division now than I did before week one. A lot can change week to week, but things are falling in place in such a way that this could be shaping up to be a very special season.

Ryan went to the sidelines and told the coaches that he didn't have to slide every time he ran the ball. He used to be a WR in college and he could just keep running and he would be able to toss off those would be tacklers with no problem. Then someone told him what "toss off" means on that side of the pond, and they all had a laugh. :up:
 
What I noticed was that Lazor called a far more aggressive and Chip Kelly-like game plan against Oakland.

The results for Tannehill and the rest of the offense were plain - they tripled the scoring that the Pats were able to put up against OAK the week before in Foxboro.

We will need this against GB in a couple weeks.

We need Miller and Thomas to get the ball a lot versus GB. That soft team can be beaten on the ground and we need to keep the ball away from Rodgers.
