Sports Buzz: Joe says he should have handled it differently

[gafin]

Update:

### With Reshad Jones suspended for one more game, the Dolphins admit they are displeased with their safety play, primarily missed tackles (Jimmy Wilson has five of those) and communication breakdowns. “We’ve been too generous in giving our opponents too many free plays…. A lot of times that has to do with the safeties,” Joe Philbin said.

Quarterbacks have completed 11 of 16 passes against Dolphins safeties, but Miami --– for now --– has opted not to bring back free agent Chris Clemons or play promising rookie Walt Aikens. Clemons, cut by Houston in preseason after leaving Miami this offseason, was ranked 19th among 86 safeties last season, per Pro Football Focus.

### The good news on Miami’s offensive line: The Dolphins are second in the NFL in rushing yards per attempt, at 5.2.

The bad: Their nine sacks allowed are third-most in the league. “I don’t know what people expect,” left tackle Brandon Albert griped. “It’s not like we’re getting our [butt] whipped. But I would grade myself a C.”

Samson Satele said the Dolphins have not broached the issue of him moving to guard when Mike Pouncey returns, and Satele said it’s not his place to bring it up.

Forgot about Clemons, must be something going on with him. Its pretty brutal a lot of the guys we had starting for us last year can barely even find work outside of the Dolphins.

Cue Hayden to announce Philbin is not a leader of men.

Joe's explanation of WHY he did not state RT was the starter this week is completely dumb logic. It makes no sense.

you know what else is dumb, the media and people in general, actually had to ask the question of who the starting qb is. no brainer.

He doesn't discuss who will be on the 46 for competitive reasons. You don't have to agree with that decision but I don't see how you can say it doesn't make sense.

I think this whole depth chart business was a shot at the medias intelligence.
