No this team always makes the short term play. THats why they are a veteran filled team whose ceiling is 8-8. This was a longgterm move, but a really stupid one.
Am I the only one who desperately wants to trade Wake? feel like they could get a really good pick for him.
I like how Gase's idea of improving the team is trading the two best offensive players. What does he really fucking believe that's going to accomplish?
I mean he had another year left on his damn ROOKIE deal and was only due 700k next year. They can make up whatever bs they want to try and sell this but this is about gase pushing blame on others for a disaster on offense that looks like it has more to do with play calling/scheme/him than anything else. FUCK GASE
Gase is 15-8 with backup QBs playing like 40% of the games. Chill the fuck out. He’s done a great job and we are lucky to have him I love Ajayi he was one of my favorite Dolphins ever but Gase felt the gauntlet had to be thrown down. I get it. If they players don’t respond he has no choice... he’s been through this with Ajayi last season and has made several comments throughout this year about players not doing what he asks and not knowing the playbook, which is frankly inexcusable. If they aren’t gonna grow up they’re gone... I can respect that. It sucks and I hate to see him go, but given the choice give me the good coach over the the good RB
The trade is surprising only in that I don’t know who is going to fill the void this year. I agree that what Gase has been able to do with the this team already should give people confidence he knows what he’s doing. That being said, I’d be very disappointed if we trade Landry
It’s been awhile since a good rage cane posting spree Gase made it clear these 2 idiots weren’t studying their playbooks, were hurting the team and thought they were bigger than the team Fuck the both of them My only negative is I wish we could have at least gotten one of the eagles 50 RB’s in return
We never re-sign anybody we draft. Being traded in year 3 or 4 is the norm around here. Unless you're constantly injured then we will re-sign you (Pouncey, Tannehill). Guess that's good news for Parker going forward.
something tells me our ineptitude on offense has nothing to do with our two best skill players not “studying” the playbook
I swear I have no idea why so many things are even rules in this sport. All of the violence and we care about an offensive lineman being 3 inches too far back for some reason.
Simplistic pitch and catch screens and runs between the tackles and we have no answer for it. This is what happens when you have a no-name shit DC
it doesn't help when you have 3 trash LB's I mean on one of those runs, Suh was getting double teamed leaving the obvious running lane for Stewart. Instead of filling the lane, alonso runs right into one of the people blocking suh and it goes for 20
Even more evergreen. Glad we signed cutler so kaep couldn’t mask how flawed this team is. I️ hope they don’t win another game.
I can understand the offense being shitty, we have no quarterback and got rid of our best RB which will probably haunt us like the Wes Welker trade. But how can this defense be this pathetic? Seems as though all the CB's we've drafted the past 3-4 years are all busts or havent developed like they should be at this point. We "should" have a top 5 DL in the NFL and they get pushed around
they really don't get pushed around. Wake gets pretty consistent pressure. Suh is taking up 2 OL on every play. A halfway competent LB could have a probowl season just shooting through the gap created by Suh eating 2 OL on every play. Instead you have alonso taking terrible angles on every play, Timmons giving zero shits and putting in zero effort, and maualuga who is completely washed. the defense ins't elite by any metric, but my god are the LBs holding this team back.
Totally agree- what Louis Riddick said was totally accurate. I'll give the offense a pass this year with Tanny going down, but this is now multiple games where the defense has given zero effort. Failed to show up. That is inexcusable and when you have that degree of inconsistency from game to game, that's on the coaching staff. The defense has shown flashes but are the most inconsistent group in the NFL....I have no idea week to week if they will show up at all. Particularly on the DL which is inexcusable considering our talent and investment there. My main complaint about Gase thus far is his staff- particularly on defense. He has hired no-name DCs (I don't care that Denver made a huge mistake hiring Joseph) with guys like Jim Schwartz out there. Not sure how you can explain that. Also Tannenbaum needs to go. No idea why he was hired in the first place. Please get us a GM who has had any degree of success somewhere and actually knows what he is doing.
I don't think the D isn't giving effort. I just think they are lacking talent everywhere behind around and behind Suh. Even Jones feels like he has dropped off and is making more mistakes. Maybe he is trying too hard to make up for other terrible guys but still. LBs following the DLs into the muck is just the tip of the issues.
Am I allowed to talk about firing Gase yet or no Jack Parkman The guy should be sending his paychecks to Payton Manning because he fucking sucks
Xavien Howard is also probably the worst CB in the NFL. Wow... who knew drafting a CB from the fucking vaunted Baylor defense would be a bad idea
