Tony Sparano seems to have the water rising around him with every passing game. If it’s not a bad timeout or a bad play call, it’s a decision like Sunday to punt with 8 minutes left in the game and losing rather than go for a first down on 4th and 1. It’s the inability to step in and get the right personnel in the game such as Will Allen over Nolan Carroll. It also goes without saying that the players on the team are his responsibility. His decisions to keep players like Austin Spitler over AJ Edds and the on again off again relationship with Larry Johnson is growing tiresome.The play of the offensive line is now a running side show that is trending towards absurd. Sparano’s inability to fix the one area of the team he was supposedly a genius at is ridiculous. The Dolphins can’t win if they can’t score. They can’t score if they can’t run. They can’t run if they can’t pass. All of that is reliant on the offensive line play. It’s horrendous.There have been only two games played this year in what is a long season. The Dolphins have time to turn this around and make a run for the playoffs. It’s far too early to throw in the towel or assume that the team will eventually lose faith and dissension in the locker room will take over and force Stephen Ross to make huge changes. It is however, not too soon for the Dolphins to lose their fan base more than what they have already. Too many fans opting to watch the game elsewhere or not at all is already creating issues for the teams home field advantage. Of course the team actually winning at home is a major issue as well.There are a lot of questions that are not answered after two games. Instead, there are many more questions that are being asked.http://phinphanatic.com/2011/09/21/local-media-lashing-out-at-miami-dolphins/
