Just a little something from the SPorts Guy

[Dolphins17-0]

MIAMI (-1) over Pittsburgh
Note to everyone in Pittsburgh: You weren't going anywhere with Tommy Maddox. End of story.


So maybe this works out for the best. Rothlissbsvdgtehger comes in sooner than expected, takes his lumps for a few weeks, then makes strides in December when they need him most. Why couldn't this turn out like Bledsoe with the '93 Patriots? Same body, same cannon arm, similar talent -- what am I missing? Remember, Bledsoe struggled for the first three months, took his lumps for a 1-11 team and eventually led them to four straight December wins. No reason this couldn't happen for Rothlissbsvdgtehger. It's all for a greater good.


With that said, you can't ask for a scarier situation than ...


A) A rookie QB making his first start on the road
B) Going against an 0-2 team with a top-five defense.


I'm cashing in this week ... but I'm keeping my eye on this Rothlissbsvdgtehger guy. You never know.


One other Miami note: About six weeks ago, Dan LeBatard wrote a column wondering why Dave Wannstedt still planned on running an offense that revolved around Ricky Williams, even though Ricky was busy walking the earth like Jules in "Pulp Fiction." As Dan pointed out, great coaches adapt to what they have. Wannstedt wasn't adapting. I remember reading it and thinking, "Wait a second. Maybe he's a lousy coach, but even Wannstedt isn't dumb enough to run the same offense without Ricky."


Well, he's dumb enough. One offensive TD in two weeks. Forty rushing attempts for 90 yards. You would think he'd revamp the offense and center everything around Chambers, Booker and McMichael, consequences be damned.


You would think.

I read that...Simmons is a good writer, and i normally like his columns, EXCEPT when he's talkin about the NFL...The guy's the biggest homer i know. All he talks about sometimes are his boston teams...especially the damn Patsies. He rips on the dolphins a lot too. He picked them to finish 3-13 this season. Out of all the bad predictions we've gotten this year, that is the worst record i've seen...No way we win less than 4 games this year. At least he had something good to say about us this week (i couldn't believe it when i read it)

40 rushing attempts in 2 games is NOTHING!!!! I think they've thrown about 80 passes, 80 passes to 40 runs???? What, do you prefer that they NEVER run the ball??? Yea, lets just Pass a minimum of 60 times a game, that should work with our Crappy QB's, and even Crappier Offensive Line

That's pretty offensive that we have only scored 2, and both were passing plays too. Though it maybe kind of hard to do anything because Dave neglected th OL for so damn long, with these guys we can't throw or run.

Hopefully McIntosh will add a spark and the Tackles and McKinney will communicate better with bltz packages coming in and maybe I will get a Porsche for Christmas.
