There are technical reasons the Dolphins are not performing

[Lee2000]

well, and they make the difference in a game of equals. Foxx radio's Landry was right about the timing routes and lack of time issue. Execution is the reason Miami is not winning, and you can throw in the supposed lack of urgency. But I find it interesting now that Miami has started 1-3 that people are saying last year's record is a fluke. If you argue that a team wins based on proper execution, but then say they should not have won that seems in contradiction. The reason Miami won 9 games last year is that they executed in those games (with a little luck I suppose) more than the other team. I don't believe in the notion that a team wins when they are not supposed to. Miami was a 9 win team last year. As Saban says, it is what it is. Miami is a one win team this year so far. I don't believe in media assessments of how many wins a team will get. It comes down to the day and the play execution.

I totally agree with the thought they aren't executing properly. I guess what rubs me is that the staff has seen their inablility to do certain things so far, such as blitz effectively, connect on the deep ball, etc...So you think they'd make it easier for players to execute...run the ball, 3 step drops, not give up entirely on the blitz but perhaps have different personnel do the blitzing.
Of course that's easy to say from my armchair QB spot :D

it's because we don't have the personell to execute properly

 

[Canadianfishfan]

And they said preseason means nothing... well it gave us a real good indicator of how badly out of sync our #1 are.
By week 4 of the season ? This is inexcusable... by everyone.

It takes guts to say this.

 

[muscle979]

I can't disagree, there's starting to be less and less players I care to see on the team in the future. I think it's time for an overhaul.

remember when j johnson came in we had a good team of vetrans b.cox.t vincent r.webb k. simms we cleaned house and we still did not play as bad as we are playing right now we our cap straped and getting zero results for our dolla's the blame has to go somewhere and it's the coaches who evaluate these players it's there job too i am not qualified to be in the nfl but how qualified do you have to be to see that our o-line is horrible c-pep is a statue with poor field vision if i was in charge i would have signed mc nair and traded up to get cutler like denver did i would not have drafted j. allen i would have drafted maroney and last year i would have drafted shawn merriman would not have drafted roth either

It's nice your able to talk about last years draft when you have a full season of hindsight to look at, give me a break. And there is no way we could have drafted Cutler and Maroney, since they were both first rounders, not to mention you are already talking about trading up to get Cutler. I love how your draft picks would just magically come out of air.

I agree with most of what you said, but in 2005, the Bills were a hot pick because they finished strong. It is really striking when you compare the way the 2004 Bills finished & the way the 2005 Dolphins finished.

Both team were hyped to be the shiek playoff pick - but look at who those win streaks were compiled against - very VERY weak opposition.

I for one think that the Dolphins will turn it around, because I don't think it's as bad as you think - the fish are a few plays away from being 3-1. A couple things go differently and you definetly could have beaten the Bills - same thing for Sunday's loss.

There is still a lot of football to be played.

ya got me on the maroney one just wishfull thinking the other minny back barber but your lost if you think we are magicly going to start winning last year was a fluke we beat a whole lot of nobodys and barley beat everyone of them

Well I'm only lost because of your lack of punctuation and sentence structure. I don't expect a whole lot of wins anytime soon. However, I do expect better football on the field, which would be a turnaround.

Not enough players are playing with heart or mental toughness. Saban can't make them have that. That has been the difference to me. It's up to him in the offseason to find more players that will play tough and hard even when the going gets tough.

 

[Dolfan Gary]

We SUCK!!!!

 

[finfan54]

This is the second year in a row where we have completely changed alot of stuff around. That is the reason for all this.

This offense is not Linehans. This is purely Mike Mularky's. The secondary is completely different with a rookie bust so far as our #1. The offensive line was once again denied by drafting a linemen with a history of injuries.


This team will never be great until its Oline is great. But come next draft season, everyone will want the best WR again. The best LB again, and the best CB again, and once again, the Oline will be denied.

i would have signed mc nair and traded up to get cutler like denver did i would not have drafted j. allen i would have drafted maroney and last year i would have drafted shawn merriman would not have drafted roth either

No because Merriman would've gone first to the 49ers, and would've taken Leinart in this year draft.

That game of speculation mean nothing, right now it's not about the players its about the plays.
