Re: the miami dolphins
If Hargreaves is gone and we stay at 13, I'll have less of a problem with them taking Elliott (if he's there). I don't see the need to not only invest first round capital in a RB, but to also have to sacrifice other picks in order to do it.4/5 wrote:A Dolphins blog was arguing that because our defense is going to suck we may as well trade up to take Elliot and improve the offense.MattA75 wrote:I really hope all this talk of the Dolphins moving back up to #8 just to select a friggin running back is just that...talk...I don't care if Zeke Elliott is the second coming of Adrian Peterson, there's no reason to waste first round draft capital on a running back in this league, especially if you're a team in the bottom half of the league
Hell, if you're going to trade up, try to get up to #3 to select Ramsey ahead of the Cowboys...THAT would be an immediate impactful player to our team

Well, he videotaped himself smoking it and let someone else have a copy of the video, so that is pretty stupid.MattA75 wrote:as long as he isn't Ricky Williams or Josh Gordon stupid with it
I'm sure now his drug testing won't be random, so now he's got to be a little more careful when he smokes it.

I can't be mad at this pick. Regardless of how it works out this was a great pick. I didn't think it was possible for me to be happy with what the Dolphins would do last night, but hey.

Is it wrong I kinda want them to try and trade into the top pick of the 2nd to grab Myles Jack?4/5 wrote:I can't be mad at this pick. Regardless of how it works out this was a great pick. I didn't think it was possible for me to be happy with what the Dolphins would do last night, but hey.

Re: the miami dolphins
This fucking team...I forgot that Seattle tends to suck for about the first 6 weeks of the season...
The defense on that last Seattle drive was absolutely atrocious....so was Tannehill when we got the ball back still with a chance to win with just a FG
New England is going to murder them next Sunday...34-13 or so

Re: the miami dolphins
I mean Tannehill was great on the drive that put them ahead. The last "drive" began at the 18 with less than 30 seconds and no timeouts. He had a chance on 1st down but missed it. Oh well.MattA75 wrote:This fucking team...I forgot that Seattle tends to suck for about the first 6 weeks of the season...

That game was classic 21st century Dolphins in every way.

If Kenny stills was as good at catching a football that hit him right in the hands as he was protesting, the fins would be 1-0

Re: the miami dolphins
My 3 year old daughter would have more of an awareness of a pass rush than Tannehill seems to have...which is amazing if for nothing else than the fact that Tannehill has been getting creamed for 4+ seasons now and he still hasn't figured it out
