The question posed to Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase to begin his conference call with Baltimore media before Sunday's game against the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium seemed innocuous enough: What has contributed to the team's recent six-game winning streak?

For many coaches, that would have been a chance to launch into a discussion about team chemistry, philosophy or execution. But in Gase's case, he went for the jugular — of his own team.
"It starts really with, we've eliminated all of the type of nonsense that most of the teams around the NFL [don't] have during the week — guys being late, guys getting fined, having practices that really are not energetic and you're not getting things done the way you need to," he said this week. "We've really turned around as far as a maturity standpoint of our younger guys doing things right, our veterans doing a good job of showing these guys the right way to do things day in and day out.
"I think that's been our biggest turnaround as far as just doing all of the things leading up to the game and then on Sunday, that's at least giving us our best chance to know what to do and to execute our game plan."
While refreshing, Gase's honesty is not startling to those who know the 38-year-old coach. Gase honed his upfront approach while on the coaching staff of former Denver Broncos and current Chicago Bears coach John Fox, who has a reputation for being candid with his players.

Ravens outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil, who knows Gase from their time with the Broncos from 2009 to 2012, said Gase is not the shy type.
"He's a definite straight shooter," Dumervil said. "He's a detailed, fundamental type of guy, and he's always been that way. He's a very sharp guy. He knows the game, and he knows how to engage with players. He's a players' coach. He was great, a good guy."
At 7-4, Miami is just two wins away from the franchise's first winning record since 2008, and if the playoffs began today, the team would be the No. 6 seed in the AFC. The team is also riding its first six-game winning streak since 2005 and is looking to extend that run to seven for the first time since 1985.
Second-year running back Jay Ajayi said the difference between the Dolphins of 2015 and now is Gase.
"He makes it fun for us to come to work," Ajayi said. "At the same time, he stresses a lot of accountability for us. It's a one-day-at-a-time mentality as well as one week at a time. You can definitely see around the building, no one is really looking too far ahead. We're all focused on what we're trying to achieve right now."

With all the awful Coaches we had in a row it was about time for us to catch a break. Gase will be our Coach for a long time and we will do great things!
 
I can't believe I (we) went through 4 years of Philbin. Four years of uninspiring coaching, it felt like Limbo. It's a scar I will have to carry on throughout my entire life.
 
Ross isn't that highly respected among Dolphins fans. And I am one of the people who firmly believes that he really doesn't understand football or football management. But, he does know how to trust in talented people. I'll say this, when he came in, he gave a talented football guy, Bill Parcells, a chance to build a program. When it didn't work out, he pursued another talented football guy in Harbaugh. Sure, he made some mistakes along the way in how he did these things, but whomever was advising him, he trusted sound football people and both of those guys were worthy of his attention.

Now he has listened to virtually everyone and recruited Adam Gase. Ross made sure that when the minds clashed, he sided with Gase. Ross has identified and facilitated the recruitment of the most competent coach we've had since Don Shula/Jimmy Johnson, and clearly a good young coach to rebuild our proud Dolphins franchise.

"He took out the no-huddle and the check at the line, check to different plays. That's a tough offense to do," Weddle told NFL.com last week as he and his Baltimore teammates prepared for Sunday's game against the Dolphins that has huge AFC playoff implications. "There's a reason why Philip (Rivers), Peyton (Manning) and very few other guys can run that style of offense. Mentally, it's on a whole other level."

Gase and the Dolphins' coaching staff began this season by putting a lot of trust in Tannehill to run that style of offense and make the kind of checks at the line Manning made over his 18 seasons in the league. When Manning and Gase put their brains together, they were unstoppable at times.


I released this 2 years ago and last year and early this season. Ryan Tannehill is not Payton Manning or Tom Brady. So why try to run a offense only they can? I'm amazed that it took Dolphin coaches so long to get this.
