*** OFFICIAL MIAMI DOLPHINS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME THREAD *** Week 1

Hey 1st time poster on Fin Heaven. Been a fan for fifteen years , and this is the most excited I have ever been about a dolphins team. I'm pumped about how the Dolphins are favored to win their first 6 games, and I really want my team for once to get off to an amazing star. I am confident because this team is strong every where except for the guards,linebackers , backups at the tackles, Michel Thomas or Walt Aikens, and the second starting corner behind Grimes, McCain and Taylor haven't done anything to give me a lot of confidence, but I believe Miami has the beat D-line in the league, you can argue for the bills and rams too, but Suh is one of true super stars in the NFL. Only way Miami loses to the skins is if they lose several fumbles and maybe tipped passes that result in INT's.

As much talent as I think this team has, I still have this horrible feeling that by 3:00pm tomorrow we will be ranting about how much we hate Philbin and how he is a bottom five coach in the league because we will be losing due to unforced turnovers and bad clock management, I have just seen it too many times.

Despite Philbin, I think the Dolphins go 11-5 this year, like they did in 2008 !
Welcome to FinHeaven!

Here's a celebratory gift for your arrival...

10 hours until kickoff. I just got home from watching Air Force beat San Jose State. I got to meet Chad Hennings an Air Force grad who flew the Warthog plane in the Gulf War, and I think he also won three SB rings with the Cowboys. They honored a lot of vets for 9/11. Great night.

Crap!! I'm in the yellow:ponder:....but I do have NFL Red Zone! :brewskis:

OK, how many yards and TD's for Tanni & receivers? I'm going w/ 345 and 3 TD's, 2 for Juice and 1 for Cameron.
 
Probably won't be able to watch the game today since I'm traveling in Italy at the moment, but...

STOMP THOSE SKINS

FINS UP MFER
 
Here are my questions for this team going into the opener and the season ahead:
1. Guard Play: I have killed this topic in other posts as have others. No need for more discussion.
2. B. Albert: Is he coming back too quick? How is the big man going to look?
3. How are the receiving reps going to be spread around?
4. Are the LB's able to pull their own weight compared to the Dline?
5. Is Walt Aikens going to be a liability in coverage? Is he simply ready?
6. Is it wise to have two rookie, undrafted specialists? I think having a rookie kicker from a smaller than small school that never made a high percentage of his kicks is not wise. I am not a Sturgis guy at all, but I would have looked the veteran route. Darr? I have no issue with, but how about two rookies performing the FG operation...hold and kick? I am not a fan of the situation the FO and staff came up with.
7. Should the team have kept Don Jones?
8. How do the two 30 year old plus defenders...Wake and Grimes...perform over the long haul this year?
9. Can this team FINISH games and, later on, a season?
10. Was it wise for Philbin to put faith in Kevin Coyle to run his defense?
11. Joe. This season is on him. We have seen the feel good stories of him trying to relate to players better, allowing them to dress down on trips and taking trips to the Lincoln Memorial. However, at the end of the day this is going to be about how he and his staff motivates, designs game plans and his strength of decision in big spots. Would I feel better if Mike Tannenbaum was allowed to have picked a new coach this past offseason? Absolutely. I think it actually makes sense. That said, Philbin has another chance and he has a real opportunity to make good on his HC career.

I think if the Fins can answer a majority of these in the affirmative, they can have a big year. I am very excited for the year ahead.
