Power Rankings: Week 6

[SirDrums]

Here they are, the Power Rankings for week 6. Enjoy :D

The Drum Roll:
In my eyes, the phins played better last week. Joey may not be our future QB and he may not be as accurate as C-Pep but he has the mobility to get out of the way when protection breaks down. With the way this O-Line has been playing, we really need mobility.

As far as the rankings go. We can't expect to be any higher with a 1-4 record. I hope we can turn it around against NY.

Later and GO FINS!!!!! :D

Average Dolphin Rank: 26 (-2)

Dolphins Rank: 25 (-2)

Comment: Yes, they played the Patriots hard. But at 1-4, that might not matter. The Dolphins are pretty close to being sunk.

Dolphins Rank: 24 (-1)

Comment: It doesn't matter if it's Daunte Culpepper or Joey Harrington. This offense isn't very good. And that's why they won't be a playoff team.

Dolphins Rank: 26 (-1)

Comment: How bad have things gotten for the Dolphins offense? Chris Leak and Tim Tebow—the quarterback duo at the University of Florida—are legitimately a better 1-2 than the Dolphins' Culpepper-Harrington combo. No one's really talking about it — but here's a thought: Maybe this team misses Ricky Williams more than they expected. Based on Miami's first five games, I'm not 100% certain that Ronnie Brown's an every-down NFL back.

Dolphins Rank: 30 (-2)

Comment: Let's face it: The team was falling apart under Daunte Culpepper. In four games he had been sacked 21 times. Saban was getting calls from the Humane Society. Against the Patriots, a team that can bring it, Joey Harrington was sacked once. I'm not suggesting anything. I didn't even watch the game. Just throwing numbers at you, as I usually do.

Dolphins Rank: 24 (-)
Comment: Barring an injury to Harrington, don't expect Culpepper back on the field anytime soon.

I love when guys get all bent out of shape over these rankings that mean squat.

What does it matter where anyone ranks us?
Were 1-4, 0-2 in the division, 1-4 in AFC Conferecne games and in the cellar that's all that matters.

[Brown42000]

It seems like Dr.Z agrees with the decision to start Harrington over C-Pep not like his opinion matters.

 

[PhinsRock]

So who cares? And we should be ranked about 30 right now the way our offense is playing.

 

[miaD5499]

all we can really do now is move up so it cant get much worse, Dr Z didnt even watch the game and really joey harringtons numbers didnt sum up how well he actually did play in that game

 

[footballer]

my power poll has us at number one...
you can check it out at>> hispowerpoll.miamialwaysnumber1.forrealdawg

 

[Furious Yellow]

I can't really complain about any of those.. Seem pretty fair based on our play so far..

The only thing that I would take offense to is this:

Based on Miami's first five games, I'm not 100% certain that Ronnie Brown's an every-down NFL back.

Well.. What does he expect when Ronnie only recieves as many carries as a back-up would??

 

[DonShula84]

thats garbage, dr Z has the bucs and titans ahead of us, both havent won a game yet

I'd put the Bucs ahead of us probably, they looked pretty good last week.
