With all the lamentations and plans for the distant future of the Dolphins I was surprised not to find any posts about our game Sunday.

OK, I'll start one.

I think we'll win because - we've tried everything else and it's not working.

Why not just quit overthinking everything, play straight forward, unexciting plays over and over again until we score.

We can develop a 12 man rush; it can't be less effective then what we've been doing and maybe the other Offensive players will "trip" over our players and fumble, or maybe we get to their QB; even if it is accidental.

That's the game plan I recommend!

What game plan would you like to see - it's not likely to be worse then what we've been doing so far - LOL
 
I'd like to see them using Gaskin more. I know he's not amazing but I think he's the best of a bad lot and we need to establish the run more.
I'd like to see Waddle used on slants. Get the man the ball in space. Let him do something with it.
I'd like to see the coaching be more aggressive. We've seen the team come out well at the start of halves and then go back into their shell. What is going on there? I don't know. But put your foot to the ground and keep at it.

On D ... I'm not sure what I want to see scheme wise, I don't have enough intelligence for that, but I would like to see us get some pressure on the QB. That's been missing quite conspicuously. It'd be a great time for coming out party for Phillips.

And thanks for starting this thread @Ray R. It's a nice change from Watson / misery!

And yes, I've definitely contributed to the misery. Doesn't mean I don't like this pleasant change :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'll go with that. Shoot for 100 points and don't let up til it's achieved. No 2Q/3Q letdowns. The talent is there to beat ATL. Let them play.
 
I think Tua leads us to victory using his arm and legs
 
I feel like Miami is due. Hopefully this will be the game that everything comes together.

But to the OP's question, try something different. Blitz like crazy. It seems like the only way to get quarterback pressures. Stick to the run and give it time. Have to be more balanced.
 
I tell you exactly how we win by scoring 28+. Get everybody back from injury (DVP, Williams, Howard, and Jones). Run the *ucking football if it works and gains 5-7 yards do it again. Find ways to get yards on sweeps/counters/bootlegs. Throw Slants and Crossers to DVP, Williams and Waddle. Hit Gesicki on seam routes and curls and Gaskin and Ahmed in the flats. Throw deep when it presents itself if you have an open receiver down field to back off the secondary even if its incomplete. No turnovers. Score TD's not FG's. Get some turnovers and some short fields. Final 38 - 27. Tua 29 - 37 348 yards 3 TD's No INT's Gaskin 1 TD (Run), Waddle 1 TD, Gesicki 1 TD, Williams 1 TD. Defense 3 Sacks 2 INTS (Rowe and Needham Pick 6).
 
Miami this week begins it's journey to becoming the words biggest snowball rolling down hill.

Each week they will be seen bigger, and badder then the week before.

First win, of an 11 game winning streak starts October 24. 😃

Waddle needs to be on some deeper plays. We didn't spend a pick that high for basically a slot. Use AW as slot and get Waddle further out there as we'll inevitably not have Parker or Williams again. On D, we need to keep Rowe on Pitts or he will feast. We cannot try to cover him with a LB. Patterson has been a decent weapon for them this year that we also need to cover in the mid range passing game.
