Jonathan Martin needs to get stronger to be a good player at either position. Having Jonathan Martin as our number 1 tackle is not that comforting at this point, at least to me... Is he a bust, of course not. He is young and has the stature to put on strength and the intelligence to improve his game, am I willing to bet our season on his vast improvement, no...

I appreciate the acknowledgment of what was said Truth... He never said prototype, here is Ben Volin's report about it- Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland appeared on the team-owned radio show Monday on 940-AM and said the team gambled by investing in Tannehill. “I think the axiom that you go by in scouting is you like to see a quarterback with 30 starts under his belt before he’s ready to play, a

Having our starting tackles next year being Winston and Martin does nothing to comfort my fears about the tackle position.. Signing a fairly cheap starting LT is not a bad way to go... The thing about Johnson is most of the scouts I have heard say you are really splitting hairs when ranking the top 3 tackles. I have heard them say Johnson has the most upside of the 3 and the only reason he is bel

Pat White rushed for 4,480 yards in college.. The most ever for any QB in the history of college football... Never had injury problems, playing for the same alumni as Austin... Do you know how many yards he was able to rush for in the NFL before he took an injury that knocked him out of the NFL......81 yards.... There is a big difference between playing at WVU and playing in the NFL... The odds a

Playing the slot in the NFL you get hit, Austin rarely got hit in college from what I have seen.. He always ran out of bounds to avoid contact or spun off guys. Slot WRs in the NFL dont get to run out of bounds very often. I dont think it works out well for him.. Wes Welker and Steve Smith are 2 of the toughest guys in the NFL. Do you remember the type of hits Welker use to take in Miami, and bou

We didnt score a lot of points last year our redzone offense was atrocious... Yet both Hartline and Bess had career years for yard and career worse for TDs... In 2011 we had 20 TD's scored in the passing game, which isnt very good, last year we had 12... From what I watched last year, the rookie was certainly part of the issues in the redzone passing game. Was it all on him, no of course not, wa

Bess had 778 yards in 13 games last year. Gibson had 691 in 16 games... Bess's lack of TD's was more about a rookie QB or offensive scheme which had issues in the redzone IMO not Bess, as Hartline only had 1 TD last year as well.. Trading away Bess would be foolish.. He is a legit player, and could really shine this year in the slot with Wallace and Hartline drawing most of the focus from def

JC- Seeing a halftime locker room speech in a tight divisional game could be pretty cool... Seeing coaches or players get fired up behind the scenes is intriguing to me.. Obviously there is no value in showing a guy get taped up... However seeing behind the scenes interaction is probably more interesting to a lot of people then some cheesy halftime show... I always enjoyed getting to the game ear

The NFL will require teams to install cameras in home locker rooms for the 2013 season, and the teams will have the option to use the video in the stadium during halftime and other breaks in play. The move is part of an effort to improve the experience of attending NFL games by providing fans with footage and entertainment that they can’t get at home. Teams will be able to show the vide

Lol, the failures on offense were as much Tannehill's fault as anyone else's.. I know in order to make you feel warm and fuzzy, the failures were on everybody but Tannehill..

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

From what I saw, and a lot of young QB's do this, he tended to stare down his primary option to much... and release the ball quick to that option, not always letting the play develop... Henne did the same thing.... But I wouldnt say Tannehill was a checkdown Charlie, to much unless coverage truly dictated it. I agree he didnt let it rip all that often and was fairly conservative with his choices

When the College football season opened this year Barkley was the number 1 rated draft prospect... By the time the season was over it was a different story.. I am honestly not sure if Tannehill would have beaten out Manziel, maybe that is why he came out early. He worried what being benched his senior year for a redshirt freshman might do to his draft stock..He might have fallen into the third

You can take this in a million different directions, how about I am not sure Tannehill would have even started this year, had he stayed at A&M...
