of the Minn game from last year. I knew it would just frustrate the hell out of me but I did it anyway. First off...man did it look good...just seeing those uniforms and Ricky running ...gets you all pumped up again. I am not going to rehash all of what happened...been done a million times...but there are a few points that come to mind when i watched the tape.These are all random ramblings so please forgive me..
1. Jason Taylor is a force...he played like a man possesed and was creating turnovers all over the field...which leads to my second point...
2. There were 2 fumbles just laying on the ground ...and of course instead of trying to just fall on it...we tried to run with it...and Minn fell on the ball...happened so many times last year it made me crazy.
3. I had totally forgotten about a huge unsportsmanlike penalty by McMichael....had problems with those retaliation penalties all year(surtain,Madson...guys who should know better and and cost us some huge yardage and momentum last year) We need to be more focused and under control...I remember blowing a gasket last year at some of these.
4.Man we had alot of penalties on special teams..holding...block in the back...almost on every other punt or kickoff...that has to get better.
5.Man is Ricky a sight to behold...its so easy to forget all he did last year and all the plays he made...he looked so fast and ran so hard....he is what might make us special.
6.Our linbacker play last year was atrocious...aside from Zach...we got no plays from the outside...ran this tape over and over...in slo motion and it was appaling how a non factor our outside guys were...hopefully Junior and Eddie Moore and another year by Morlon might make us better....
7.I forgot how much I love watching Dolphin football...just watching this tape reminded me how loud I screamed while watching it...I miss the passion and excitement of it...can't wait for it to start up again.
8.Lastly we need our defense to play special all the time...not shut a team down one week and then can't get off the field on 3rd down....think we addressed the need for playmakers on the def....we need to be a special defense...and show it every week.
As I write this I realize that i will be at training camp in less than a month...and it justmakes me feel so energized.....so much to look forward too...sorry so long....thanks
