Here's a great post:

Cant stand this offensive scheme. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel, football is football, just have better and nastier players than the other team, call the right plays at the right time and effin run the ball hard, you have to be able to run even if they know its a run its the only way play action works, its the only way a poor pass blocker gets time, its the only way an average QB like RT has time, its the only way it keeps the pass rush honest, its the only way receivers have more time to get open, its the only way to keep the chains moving, its the only way to keep the other teams offense off the field and chew the clock, its the only way to stop our defence getting tired, its the only way to keep offensive rhythm, its the only way to have a hurry up or slow down offence consistantly whenever you want through an entire game, its the only way to win. Our offensive players potential is good, scheme though is not good and I believe QB and Centre need to lead by example more as they are not and have not nearly enough.

Fins sign Quinton Coples OLB/DE recently let go of the Jets. Hasn't worked out with them but still a very young, and capable player - if nothing else, the Dolphins can take a page out of the cheatriots playbook and use the guy to get an inside edge on the NY Wets this weekend

 

[Paolo305613]

He will travel with the team

You know what I can't stand? The word "scheme" in football and in the game of futbol. Its just a fucking game, why try to look like a rocket scientist and over-complicate the stupidest thing ever. The concept of the game is to score as many points possible in the allotted time to win , and/or avoid giving up more points than you scored to the opponents. Offensively, do it by passing or running - on defense just fucking stop them - and special teams. Move the ball down the field and score - stop them on the opposite end. Done.

Okay. Sorry. I had to rant.

Well if you want to get mad check this out....guess which team is the Fins and question why you wouldn't run more. Lazor obviously doesn't believe in rushing and Campbell just like Philbin isn't punching this guy in the face for this stupidity!!!

Rushing 166 70
Rushing Attempts 38 14
Yards per rush 4.4 5.0

Well, in all honesty, our offensive line has been questionable all season be it due to injury or just overall play - so sticking to the run is tough. So, in a way tough to play them - especially Lazor for not believing in the run. But this again proves what I was saying throughout the game the other day -- Campbell's toughness campaign has washed away - all that rah rah crap has officially gotten old. As always.

But the key to this is that they were averaging 5 yards per carry and gave it up. 14 rushes??? The key denominator in all of this is Lazor and if Campbell won't make him run it more to create balance then he's no better than Philbin. Balance helps a bad line...

Also why on earth do you ask a 4th string LB or any LB to cover Dez??? Especially when Grimes was balling? This stupidity doesn't help.

 

[Paolo305613]

Grimes was playing well, but he has bad habits of choking it up when it matters most.

True but asking a LB to cover a WR is ridiculous! Should never happen. Neither should have that ridiculous defensive holding on Taylor that was brutal officiating...

 

[Paolo305613]

Levis out this week

 

[Paolo305613]

Its gotta be disappointing to see how Carolina did to Tony Romo and the Dolphins failed to do to him - pressure him and knock him down enough until he basically had to leave the game due to an injury. Not saying we should've purposely hurt the guy - but, we should've been more aggressive considering how fragile he obviously was.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

True but the D tired out from being on the field all game that's why they picked up Coples hopefully he turns out. They also need to run a lot more for this exact reason...

 

[Paolo305613]

We need to score on the opening drive. Dan aka The so called Motivator Campbell is at it again failing to get his team ready to play against the good teams. Abandoning the run and getting pass happy with a banged up offensive line.

They continue to call these weak ass delayed runs, bubble screen/delayed passes as if they've worked this season.

The Dolphins once again lost this game when they decided to differ the opening kickoff. Keep preaching you want a fast start yet you go and differ.

 

[Paolo305613]

Oh, not surprising to see Grimes out there getting burned by bigger, better, stronger, younger guys out there again

 

[Paolo305613]

not that we have any chances of winning

 

[Paolo305613]

The Jets are the perfect team to expose just how soft the Dolphins have become over the last few weeks

 

[Paolo305613]

The Jets with predictable play calling and the Fins can do nothing about it. One of those weeks where the opponent can tell the Fins all the details of the upcoming play call and still the Fins won't stop it.
