MD-nfl's annoying little brother

I hate this article.....if anything it shouldbe reversed...it should be your grandad beating your @@# with his old no-nosense style. Single wing was the original offense in Professional football. saying its not the proper way to play is an insult to all the players that started this wonderful sport. The single wing IS football.
 
Sure it is, but it's not the normal same ol' same ol' that you see nowadays. The analogy is great and so is the article. Good for a couple of real laughs.
 
This reminds me of the disdain on the part of the complacent "Big 3" automakers in the 70's towards those upstart Japanese small car importers... that is until the late 70's gas shortage coupled with the shoddy quality of cars like the Aspen changed all the conventional thinking and rules.

off topic- i drove my aspen for 185 thousand miles and made the trip from witchita ks to dc 2 times a year for 4 years. Once I ran out of oil, the engine locked up, smoke bellowed from the engine and i was stranded on the side of the road. I added oil for kicks- started it up and it went for another 30 thousand miles (without an oil change)

It died the day my wife ran a stop sign and a car coming from the other direction plowed into her. (she was fine)

She called and the first thing i asked was- is the car alirght.

Needless to say, that was my first wife :lol:

That is pretty fcked up.
 
I read that earlier and I thought it was kind of offensive but I took it in and looked at the bigger picture. It's rich, it's funny but I think it's the perfect analogy. We're playing unorthodox formations and teams can't adjust to an offense that hasn't been used in the pros over 50 years or so and teams just don't have an answer for it and once we implement a few more plays add a couple new moves in the Dolphins offense will be about as deadly as it's ever been. We're fighting with grit and shame from last year on our shoulders. I think all the Dolphins players know that this franchise is among the winningest franchises all time in the NFL and they want to win for us fans more than ever after they laid the egg that was our entire 07 season and they have a real coach to back them up (and teach them how to win consistently) now. Things can only get better as the season goes on.

We are STILL the winningest, percentage wise.

1966-2007

Overall Regular Season Record: 369-267-4 (0.577)
Overall Post Season Record: 20-19 (0.513)
 
I Think Shula ended up in that same era as many of some other coaches. He knew 70's and 80's football well but could not transition to the 90's as well as some other coaches. In the end it will be hard to find somebody with as much wins as Shula due to early retirement from coaches such as Cowher etc.
 
I dont think you guys read the entire article.. two key things;

Everyone now realizes that Miami is a few steps away from being real contenders in the NFL. The modified "Wildcat" offense was a good start, but now people have to respect their all-around game.
Dismissing the Dolphins as a one-trick pony is dangerous.
While the little brother analogy serves as my frame of reference, the fact remains that this is a professional football team with the NFL's all-time leader in completion percentage in Chad Pennington and a very good receiving tight-end in Anthony Fasano.
Add the explosive Ronnie Brown and his efforts worthy of Offensive Player of the Year honors, and the Miami Dolphins are no longer a joke in the NFL.
A few more years and before you know it, that little brother is going to hit puberty, grow taller than you, and start dating the pretty girls at school.

Bias, Jealous, Overrated JET fan. I rest my case.
 
my bro used to beat me like that at Goldeneye. Good article, but how many of our total yards came from wildcat last week? What about our pts allowed by defense?

We have already hit puberty and are pulling up to lookout point with big bros car and girl, and he is at home playing the video games trying to figure out what happened last week!!!
 
That was a good article. I especially liked that it was written by a Jets fan. Thanks, Angel Navedo, you made my day. Little bro is growing up fast. Very fast. Better look out! :up:

No doubt, the Dolphins will be ready for the Jests by 12/28 ... hopefully on our way to the playoffs which we will have clinched by then. :)
