I see a lot of nonsense being posted here - from Ireland sucks, to Tanney is a turd, to dookie, to skies collapsing etc etc. From what i see, there are 2 true issues with this football team right now and they are obvious :


1 - Offensive Line play ESP Martin/Right Side. - We should have signed a Vet to play right tackle or gone with Murtha from the start - Martin is simply not ready fof the big time. If you look at who missed blocks in the run game, and most of the batted balls, you will see that J. Martin is being DOMINATED on almost every snap.

2 - Coaching - Again, i said something last week and everyone jumped on me b/c they are on the philbin kool-aid. Again, too early to judge the guy - i agree. Again, i hope he does well of course BUT -

I know everyone LOVED the Egnew pick - he was our "J. Finley". Yeah, right. Guy cant block and cant catch either - there were solid WR's still left on the board and we went and got Egnew. Now look, the kid may still turn out good. BUT we needed a WR, everyone also said that was a "Philbin Pick" if true, then not a good decision. Starting Jonathan Martin from the jump i dont get when they werent going to start Tanny from the jump. Another bad decision.

But most of all - Say what you will about "Morono" and trust me, i'm not a fan, at least he had a personality. He was straight forward and wanted to slam it down team's throats. And even though he "sucked", at least the dolphins were a physical team and had some personality. With Philbin so far, there is no spark, and getting rid of chad, brandon, and yermiah, the team lacks strong personalities to an extent.

Matt Moore and Ryan have good personalities and are playing hard - but we cannot even begin to scratch the surface of how either of them has played, or how the offensive system is in general b/c the o-line has been so pathetic and sorry so far.

In order for this team to make strides we need to make a switch at RT, We need to pick a starting QB and just get going with him, and we need to get a SPARK. I see people saying our new offense doesnt fit out players b/c of "lack of weapons" and "lack of talent" We have good tight ends, good running backs, good quarter backs (not great), and a good left side/center of the O-line. If this coaching staff got their heads outta their butts, we could have a servicable right tackle and at least 1 half way decent wide out.


Make the changes Philbin.
 
It is going to be a process for a first time HC in Philbin. I am willing to wait it out. "Waiting it out" does not mean midseason. It means two or three years. People here that think he was going to make an immediate turn around were wishing upon a star. This is a long process.
 
i agree with you, i do think that with our core guys and a new coach they should be a little more fired up - that worries me. But we will see eventually. I hope he is willing to make changes this week - Tony never wanted to make the right changes. IMO Martin has not earned the starting spot and someone else needs to get a chance, if nothing else, to prove sincerity in beleif in "competition"
 
I think devlins last drive was our offense. Thats was the only up tempo and quick releases I saw all night. MM and RT were running seven step drops.
 
I thought the Egnew pick was bad, there was some good Wrs left idk what ireland was thinking or even if he was thinking
 
I am completely flabbergasted how WRs were not one of your 1 or 2 reasons. Plus, Artis Hicks was just as bad if not worse than Martin tonight. He gave me Colombo flashbacks.

no way hicks was worse than Martin no way. and i did mention WR. Im saying its due to coaching though - b/c philbin wanted Marshall traded, Philbin didnt like Chad Johnson from the start more over tweets and curses than anything, and Philbin wanted the lanky Tight End instead of a solid WR in the draft.
 
O-Line will be the key of the season..they have really good RBs IMO
 
did anyone else not see the total disappointment that was O.Vernon tonight? He played the whole first half as the starter and didnt even sniff the QB. He didnt do a damn thing. The whole D looks really bad. Very similar to the first 6-7 games of last season. No push up front, cant cover anyone and cant get off the field on 3rd down and zero pressure on the QB. Disappointed with his play so far. He needs to start getting some pressure on the QB cuz wake cant do it all.


Martin looked bad today and so did Matt Moore and egnew is looking terrible... There were very very few bright spots tonight.
 
There are a lot more than 2 reasons this team blows. Coaching isnt one of them either.
 
As garbage as we looked in the first quarter, we were still 4 yards and an extra point away from winning this damn game. :lol:

Sigh. Thank goodness it's still preseason.
 
Maybe we should play a couple real games with all our starters and a full game plan before we start the over reaction. I've seen several positive posts tonight about Sporano. That's unbelievable and it's only preseason.
 
whatever man. But when sparano was here it was all about coaching.

Yeah but we had 4 years of Morono to critizes his body of work and say yeah he sucked at coaching. 4 years of wasted time outs and poor game planning and bad clock management. Settling for FG instead of playing aggressive and finishing games. Give Philbin atleast 1 year before u say he sucks as a coach. Have time to see if he gameplans well or manages the game well. Does he make good personel calls. Form an educated opinion. And yes Morono sucked as a HC. A oline guru with a terrible oline.... need i say more ?
