OFFICIAL 2014 MIAMI DOLPHINS SEASON THREAD (8-8) : MAYBE NEXT YEAR SMH

[CP1708]

All 22 film being analyzed. As usual, all the blame is pointed the wrong way.

Lazor ran terrible route options, there were plays with 2 routes, both easily covered. Guess the result? Sacks.
In the second half, they went more 3-4 man routes, moved the ball much better.

Also, refs/Philbin SCREWED up huge. From the 38, Tanne completes pass to Gibson, who gets up and runs into end zone untouched. Refs blow whistle anyways, call holding penalty on Bills. Give Miami 5 yards, to the 33, not 10 yards. On top of that, Philbin doesn't challenge that it was a catch by Gibson, ball should have been at the 22-23 yard line. ******* idiot cost us 10 yards. A head coach no less.

That was at 6:30 left in the 3rd, could have given us more time in the game.

Also showed how terrible they were vs Sammy Watkins drag routes. Freaking idiots.


Need to get these games vs Chiefs/Raiders, go into bye 3-1, get Misi, Pouncey, Jones, and Jordan back, and hopefully Moreno 2-3 weeks after that.

Has there been any word on when the players will be reinstated? I just read neither are being reinstated early. How does Welker get reinstated after testing positive for amphetamines but Dion Jordan doesn't?

Philbin sucks, we been known that, but Rex is just as bad if not worse.

Rex teams always, ALWAYS run their mouths, and then get beat like a drum.

Look at the Dlineman throwing punches, getting ejected, and then walking off the field laughing and taunting.

Assistant coach screaming for a TO.

They have no discipline, and never care what they say or do, or don't back up. Cuz Rex let's them get away with it.

I didn't say I wanted Rex......I said I wanted someone like Rex. Someone with Rex's fire. Someone that this team can rally behind. Someone that can actually coach and add. Philbin just isn't it.

Philbin is a damn joke

http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolp...he-passing-woes-from-two-different-angle.html

This is how Philbin answered the question:

“We watched the film. Obviously, I was at the game," Philbin said. "I watched the film of the game on the plane ride home. I sat down with the whole staff and watched the game this morning again, so it’s my third time looking at (the game). In the passing game, there are a lot of factors that go into a good passing game as you know. As we watched the film, the film says that we’re not detailed enough in any one area. In other words, there were pictures on the tape where the depth wasn’t quite the right depth. The angle at the top of the route coming out and separating at the top wasn’t quite right. There were times where the location of the ball wasn’t quite what it needs to be. There were times when the protection forced the quarterback off of some open receivers and into other options. So the answer is our passing game is not at the level it needs to be. Those are the facts, but it’s a unit issue. It’s not one player that is really causing all of the problems with the passing game. When I saw it three times, I thought I saw it the first time. I watched it myself last night. I watched it and talked about it with the whole staff. That’s what I see."

So Philbin's approach is to blame all the players. It's not one player. It's the quarterback not locating the ball right sometimes. It's the receivers not taking proper angles sometimes. It's the offensive linemen and backs and tight ends failing at their protection sometimes.

Then Lazor was asked about the Miami Dolphins passing game.

“There’s no doubt that the blame rests 100 percent on me," Lazor said. "It’s my job when the unit fails in an area, whether it be completing enough passes, whatever the area is, and I felt like, when you look at us right now, if my stats are correct, unless someone has a really terrible game tonight, we’ll probably be in the second week last in the league in yards-per-attempt, which I think is a pretty good indicator in the passing game of how you are doing offensively. That rests on the coordinator and just getting everybody to do it the right way and just getting everybody on the same page. You can count the number of throws you think are errant, you can count the number of drops, you can count the protection issues when there is pressure on the quarterback. They are all true, but in the end, when it’s all of that together, that’s on the coordinator."

So Lazor's approach is to blame himself. He addresses the problem by pointing an accusing finger at no players, no other coaches, no one but himself.

Hmm. Accountability vs. no accountability. No doubt in my mind Ross needs to get Philbin the hell outta Miami.

 

[jbc908]

Get rid of philbin make lazor HC?

 

[CP1708]

Too soon to make Lazor head coach, we don't know if he has that in him either.


I have a feeling that Ross and Marino are going to pitch Jim Harbaugh hard as hell in the off season. Let us pray......

 

[trueprada]

Philbin has made a habit out of those kinds of games. 3 years as Phins coach and he hasn't won in Buffalo. It's seriously getting old how unprepared and flat this guy is.

ONCE AGAIN, we fired the GM and not the coach and vice versa. ONCE AGAIN, we did a half #@% job with the clean slate. It should've been Hickey and his own coach.

Now it's 1-4 vs. Buffalo

11/15/12 14-28 141 1 TD 2 INT 46.9 QBR 50.0% CMP
12/23/12 13-25 130 2 TD 0 INT 93.8 QBR 52.0% CMP
10/20/13 19-37 194 3 TD 2 INT 71.2 QBR 51.4% CMP
12/22/13 10-27 82 0 TD 0 INT 45.6 QBR 37% CMP
09/14/14 31-49 241 1 TD 1 INT 73.6 QBR 63.3% CMP

smh

Let me eat crow, Mike Wallace has pleasantly surprised me thus far. Must have heard me say he can only run one good route. Keep it up, Mikey.

I'll be patient with Jarvis Landry. Rookie learning curve. Quiet Week 1, but moderately cooked at Buffalo in a losing effort. No top-end speed, but the hands are real. Drops little to nothing.

He did let a punt bounce off his helmet tho

^ That was just a complete special teams implosion. 3 'not top 10' plays in 1 game.

Kind of interesting the outrage about Tannehill's accuracy and then seeing Julio Jones' 2nd TD last night that Matt Ryan gets credit for.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Tannehill stood before the Miami Dolphins' daily media throng Wednesday with a three-inch scratch on his neck, a large bandage over his knee and an audible bruise to his ego.

"I'm upset with myself at the way I've played," he said. "The first two weeks were both bad. That's not a good start. It's huge to be able to bounce back and perform well."

Tannehill will try to do so Sunday when the Dolphins (1-1) play host to Kansas City (0-2). He came into his third NFL season expecting to make big strides toward becoming a franchise quarterback, but instead he continues to be inaccurate, indecisive and inconsistent.

Tannehill ranks 29th in the league with a passer rating of 76.1, and the Dolphins rank last at 4.4 yards per pass play, sacks included.

"I haven't been at my best," Tannehill said. "It has got to change, and it has got to change fast. I look forward to going out Sunday and changing it."

"I just haven't been putting the ball in the right spot," Tannehill said. "It boils down to being consistent with footwork."

 

[CP1708]
