You might want to rethink that although I must say, the MoP don't think he's all that but he ranked like 6th out of 100 rated DL on PFF, I might be a little off but it's razor close to those numbers I listed so as much as I agree with you, we don't matter in the real world and they will likely lock up Wilkins for Vita Vea money...think about that for a minute as you envision a $50M Tua in a couple years...oh it's coming.Desert_Power said:
Another "payback's a #####"
I think miami isn’t going to be able to keep everyone but I think they are in win now(ish) mode. They have to assume their D is good enough and the offensive side oF the ball is as well.
We have a lot of common ground here... I am a Waddle truther and believe that the Wilson and Edmonds acquisitions were underrated. They may not be headline names, but both fit the hard-working, productive, no nonsense mold that helps build a great football team.
Really? He's the absolute worst, so happy that SOB is gone if this is true...long time horrible local Miami sports guy, so happy he is going to Pittsburgh because Miami deserves better.
Wish he would because he is hot garbage as a local beat writer for the Fins. The worst ever in my history of following this team.
This would be great news. He actively dislikes the Dolphins and doesn't seem to have a clue.
He turns 50 in 2027.Arians retired, when does Brady get traded to Miami?
The Jets got better, I think the Patriots got a little worse but it will be hard to beat them twice again. Say we go 3-3 in the division. Miami also plays GB, MN, CIN, BAL, CLE, LAC, PIT, SF. Say we go 4-4. Finally, we should be favored vs CHI, DET, HOU. Say we go 3-0, even though DET will be a tough one. That's 10-7 optimistically.

Miami went 10-7, 9-8...upgraded their Offense in many places and they aren't done yet. They have the same 11 coming back on Defense, if they don't win 11-12 games it's going to be a complete disaster. M&M is under a lot of pressure to be the guy to push them into the Playoffs.SoBeDad said:
I hope so. Lots of pressure on MM, Tua, and Boyer. In our favor, is that we have a good backup QB, in the event Tua gets injured or underperforms.
Come on! My Bears have had multiple good seasons in the 40 years that I have been rooting for them. There is no reason to believe they won't be favored against everyone this year.SoBeDad said:
I hope McDaniel becomes the offensive version of Tony Dungy, calm and cerebral on the sidelines. Dungy brought his version of the cover 2, while MM is bringing some tweaks to the Shanahan scheme. His assistants seem to be good. Most of the coaching is done before the game even starts. It will be interesting to see how MM commands from the sidelines and how he'll deal with adversity. He won't be screaming at players.In between burning stacks of cash, we find tidbits and interviews sometimes we might have missed.
And as a reminder for anyone that hasn't seen Coach M&M do an interview, I will remind folks that this is the guy who will be the Head Coach of the Miami Dolphins...I can see all the assistants, I can see Wes Welker running and hollering at guys, what I can't see is this guy named Mike McDaniel standing on the sidelines with a headset during games, chewing players out(he would never), chewing referees out, chewing sideline reporters apart, telling the media off after a loss, that guy when he turns sideways almost disappears he's so skinny. It's hard for me to envision this guy as the Commander so i have my own take on how this is going to work.
McDaniel will be the first coach who doesn't patrol the sidelines, that's for the assistants. He's going to be the CEO that nobody knows what he does but somehow things are rolling along in the company, that's the vibe I get and I understand there have been a few that make it thru but the majority of young coaches his age burn and churn, few exceptions but most fall thru the floor. Check out the Cinci coach when Joe Burrow isn't in the line up, something like 6-24, it's scary.
Grier did his job this year, no argument about it and he should have done better all along. That said we know nothing about this new coach and most feel this is at least a 10-11 win type season ahead, we almost did it the last 2 seasons without any offense, expectations are going to be higher than I can ever remember for a new Head Coach since Jimmy Johnson and that wasn't exactly the greatest of runs either.
-Tua already being pinned as the scapegoat in that video I linked, guru
Interesting thought. Not sure during his bouts coming up if the sideline was ever his thing but then again what is Kyle shanahans demeanor on the sidelines? Players already love him and the closest comparison has to be spolestra. He’s no pat Riley, but he gets the job done. There are many ways to get respect and in the pro game treating players like men and treating the refs with respect will take you farther than anything else. (While I am typing this it dawned on me that mm has likely been on the firmed for warmups etc so I’m sure he has interacted w refs already. Being an assistant for so many years he likely knows them all already)
Two things for 2023. There may be a good QB crop in case Tua isn't the guy. If Tua struggles, our 1st and 2nd round picks will be high. Salary cap. Rookies will be cheaper than some aging vets going into 2023 & 2024.
Couldn't agree more, was shocked he went to the Patriots and at the same time, he deserves a chance to work with one of the greatest coaches of all time, whatever you r spin on Coach BB and believe me I want to pound his ### into the turf every time but Parker simply didn't live up to his Draft slot. As he leaves I want to highlight that when Fitzpatrick was under Center, he could get the ball into tight spaces and find Parker who doesn't get a lot of separation but by gawd if you can get within his wingspan he can make a play on the ball and many times he can come up with a crucial catch. I do not dislike Parker in the ways many other fans here do. I never try and correct anyone on him because I understand and have been critical of him plus he's made of glass.
I've assumed Dieter is going to be the starting Center since McDaniel was introduced. Maybe I didn't come right out and say it but I bet it's buried somewhere in one of the last many pages. Year 4 of his rookie deal, they can always resign him if he shows some promise. Nothing to lose at this point and I also think they will try and use one of their remaining draft picks for some depth on the OL/Center.
Seems like a good haul for Parker. He's a guy I always liked, but health and inconsistency were issues.
I don't trust Grier with the trade-ups in the draft. Too many examples. We'd have to give a 2023 2nd to get a 2022 3rd.
Not trying to defend LeBatard here but I can't think of a reason they signed Wilson for that much money(at the time he looked like the #5/#6 receiver on the roster. His guess is as good as mine.
LT-Armstead, LG-Connor Williams
I think that you are taking the “whole” and not looking at things chronologically. Miami had no idea Hill would become available so they were fixing what they could from a FA perspective.
Good point, had forgotten where Armstead eventually landed. He should make a huge difference. Not as big a Williams fan but he still helps.
-1st, Miami was linked to Watson all season last year but especially leading up to the trade deadline and going 1-7 to start the year.
I'm not following this... It reads to me like you are confusing Josh McDaniels and Mike McDaniel. perhaps I'm reading it incorrectly.
Miami will hold the 102-124-158 or something like that and i understand a better RB will be off the board but a lot of the Draft Class in 2022 is later after the Top 100, lots of RB names I am interested in and I think Miami will add a rookie into the mix and kiss Myles Gaskin good bye. That rookie could end up being the Elijah Mitchell-6th Rd of 2022
