Miko Grimes Interview (Talks about player's confidence in coaches / Tannehill)

[allsilverdreams]

ok even if Ryan is noy the answer, just who is the answer for miami.you are
not getting a franchise qb from any trade and if you go the draft route then you got a even less of a chance especially where we will be drafting
i think Miko shld STFU and do what ever she does best and not air the teams business

Don't get it twisted: Joe Rose is awful, too.

That entire lineup on WQAM is just unbearable. Crowder is the only guy on the station that isn't completely horrible, and that's only because he embraces his role as a clown and is actually funny.

Joe Rose has been awful for years and now "Cpt Curtis" is on the show now so forget it. Curtis years later still tries to sound like Mandich. It's sad and pathetic. He must really have connections at WQAM.

Then again Mandich did always say he was his agent.

Crowder is great but Lauzin sounds like he always has cotton balls in his mouth. Terrible personnel move. You're on the radio dude pronounce your words!

I'm guessing you listen to Joe Rose am I right?

sometimes, don't mind Curtis. haven't listened sports talk for the past 2 weeks since the phins pooped the bed tho

If Tannehill is feeling it like he was in the first half, I have confidence in him moving down the field. I've seen him do it plenty times. That's a big if though. Tannehill is inconsistent as is Philbin and the way he calls a game.

I really Thill is inconsistent because the coaching indirectly causes him to be inconsistent. You're telling me Thill who is a competitor, tough as nails(look at the hits he takes and gets right up), and lives to play the position doesn't want to throw down hill more often??? I'm not buying it. They handcuffed him this season only because he and Wallace do not have chemistry. I've seen Thill throw long to other WRs season 1 and 2 and connected just fine. They are seriously over-coaching this kid and will eventually fu*k his head up

I have more confidence in the offense down by 3 than the defense up by 4, for what it's worth.

But I do agree with you in theory. For the offense to blame the defense for the team's woes would be comical, as is the defense to blame the offense. Both units have **** the bed in at least two games in the clutch.

I respect your opinion but I can't see how you could feel that way when they can't even get a game sealing 1st down let alone points.

 

[NBP81]

I think a wife acting like this could actually be more of a problem in the locker room than if it was an actual player. Guys can give each other **** without getting out of control... when one of them tells another that his bitch should just shut the **** up, it might escalate IMO...

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

I respect your opinion but I can't see how you could feel that way when they can't even get a game sealing 1st down let alone points.

In the 4th quarter this season, there have been four situations in which the Dolphins got the ball in a tie game or trailing by less than 7 points. Those were GB, @DET, @NYJ, and @DEN. The offense was 3 for 4 in getting the team the lead in those situations. The defense was 1 for 3 in preserving the leads we picked up.

So that's why I feel that way. There's no right or wrong to it, but that's just why my gut feels the way it does.

 

[bird33]

the last 2 games last year and the past 2 games this year, when both seasons were on the line, the offense has been pathetic. but no one on this site would ever blame tannehill. the rest of the unbiased world clearly sees this guy is an average joe who will get you to about 7-9 wins a year. he'll get another year cause thats the dolphin way. theres no question this organization is perfectly fine with the mediocrity its been saddled in for the past decade and a half.

But the defense is actually 3 for 5 in those situations. You are leaving out the fact that the defense was forced to face Green Bay and Detroit twice.

I have no problem with your comment.....but you offered no solution. So if what you stated is true, what exactly do we do about it?

at the notion of trying to carry the defense's water for that complete collapse against the Packers. I'm sorry, but if you want to give them "1 for 2" credit for that game, or pin Cortland Finnegan's braindead inability to keep a guy in bounds with 30 seconds to play on Lamar Miller, Ryan Tannehill, Ja'Wuan James, Mike Wallace, whoever, then be my guest. Our offensive possession forced the Packers to burn all of their timeouts and subsequently have to drive the length of the field with no clock stoppages and score a touchdown, yet you couch it as if they simply received the football and then immediately handed it right back to Green Bay on a fumble or something.

When I say that our defense failed to protect those leads in those two games, that's just what happened. That doesn't mean the defense played poorly overall or that it's a crap unit, but what happened happened.

We have a weird dichotomy going now on this site in which people are expected to either: A) blame the quarterback for everything, or B) 'make excuses' for why something that went wrong could have possibly been the result of someone else's poor play or decisions, and yet it's the B group that is looked on as the blind homers or insane folks.

It's comical. How come we don't blame the running game for the failures in the 4 minute drives? Oh, right, because A vs B.

 

[Fins1971]

When did I blame the QB?

You guys are obsessed with protecting RT17 that you totally block out series where the defense makes a stop that should win the game. I don't care if it running game, blocking, qb or whatever you have to close the game on offense when the defense makes that 1st stop.

Wish the OL felt that way...

You left out the KC game.
We were trailing 21-15 at the start of the 4th. The defense forced a punt. The offense had the ball trailing by 6. They gained 17 yards punted and never scored again. So 3 for 5

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

When did I blame the QB?

Just commenting on board dynamics in general. I maintain that it is absolutely comical to blame the offense for not grinding 4 minutes of clock and 2 timeouts in that situation when literally all the defense had to do was tackle a guy in bounds when the guy cut inside and made it easy for them.

The precious flower that people are obsessed with protecting is our defense, which has been excellent at times and absolutely putrid at others. Just like the offense.
