If Tom Brady gets injured early on, the game is over, because<br />they don't have a proper backup QB. They have an undrafted rookie and an<br />undrafted 3rd year as the backups, and the rookie is the #2 on the depth<br />chart. Without that quick strike ability that has been the strength of our<br />biggest opponents this year, the Dolphins can win.<br />Let's look back to some of our losses -<br />1. Colts - we dominated them, but they were able to score quickly to stay<br />in the game then overtake us in a 4 play, 80 yard, 31 second drive.<br />2. Saints - Put up 17 4th quarter points to rally past us.<br />3. Patriots - we were leading in a very close game when the Pats went 80<br />yards in 3 plays and got 8 points, then scored a FG to seal the deal.<br />4. Bills - Scored 24 4th quarter points, including 17 in the span of 3<br />minutes.<br />With the exception of the Bills game, they were all against the top 3 QBs ,<br />not only in the league currently, but for the last half a decade at least.<br />And Fitzgerald def played like a game-changer, but was helped by our<br />struggling offense.<br />Anyway, my point is, if Brian Hoyer has to takeover for Brady, I think we<br />become more evenly matched.Tinshakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-83771125326174234752009-12-04T07:18:12.000-08:002009-12-04T07:18:12.000-08:00I understand that, Knight, but Moses is not a rook...I understand that, Knight, but Moses is not a rookie. And JT and Porter<br />were playing every snap in the 4th quarter up until about 3 weeks ago. I<br />commented on it frequently during the game chat of why do they have JT<br />playing every single down in the 4th Q when they have fresh legs on the<br />bench. This past week was the first time I noticed JT was NOT in there much<br />in the 2nd half. So it's not like they changed their approach after Henne<br />became the starter - let's not forget it took them 4 weeks to put Wake in on<br />defense despite having no pass rush success prior to that, and it took them<br />what...10 weeks before they activated Turner despite the receiving woes but<br />they didn't give him a single snap on offense before making him inactive<br />again. They cut Matt Roth because they wanted to activate Moses? If that's<br />their logic, then they're truly deluded.Tinshakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-19026160175918210202009-12-04T06:45:40.000-08:002009-12-04T06:45:40.000-08:00This would be photoshop.This would be photoshop.Tim the Enchanternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-11677928740208777442009-12-04T04:28:30.000-08:002009-12-04T04:28:30.000-08:00The way I see it, the Dolphins aren't going to...The way I see it, the Dolphins aren't going to the playoffs no matter how hard they play, and they've been playing hard. They're missing key personnel, and that includes the coaching staff! Parcells won't walk away from this incomplete team unless it's to walk away from football for good. BP still has unfinished business here and his resume (legacy) won't remain intact until he sees this project through. If he walks now, he'll go down in Dolphins history alongside Wanny, Saban and Cam Cam, so I don't think he walks in 2010.<br /><br />Of greater interest to me is whether or not BP causes changes to be made in the coaching staff, because they've certainly played an "as equally significant" a role as the players have for our record this season. Pasqualoni is a Sparano guy, not a Parcells guy. Al Groh <i>(At Virginia, Groh has become known for his implementing a 3-4 defense, rare for the college game, and for maintaining his NFL mentality. </i>wiki<i>)</i> is a Parcells guy that is an upgrade at defensive coordinator! Hell, even Marty Schottenheimer or Monte Kiffin (if Lane doesn't survive at Tennessee) is an upgrade!<br /><br />I agree with Tin, and others, who feel that the rest of this season has already been mailed in and that the main concern now is positioning for the 2010 draft. Now, with that being said, only one scenario will beat the Pats, and that is if the players rise above this team's mediocrity and make this their playoff game in defense of the division crown!canamdolphinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-63444432633047667102009-12-03T16:52:18.000-08:002009-12-03T16:52:18.000-08:00Fang, Fang, Fang!

I'll have to get my recipe out, and if Tinshaker doesn't boot us off here for this recipe exchange, I'll post it later. Suffice it to say, I make mine in bulk. I have what is called the full recipe, which I have never made. We use the half recipe, which we have to mix in the stainless steel stock pot that came with our turkey fryer and it fills it a little more than half way up! We use a cordless drill with a long paint stirring attachment on it to stir it up! We don't cook the eggs either, but when you see the recipe, I think it will be clear that any germs or bacteria would find it hard to live through all the alcohol.

They see their stamina in practice. <br /><br />I do believe that the coaches and the organization wants to get their young players in games to see what they can do and they have a plan. Some guys get more snaps earlier and others get their chance later. That might come at the expense of winning more games but with Henne being thrown in their with Pennington out, they said now we can go that way even more and take a look at more young players. They still try to win the games but they are trying to get to the next level in the coming years, and going all out to win now this year is going to slow down that process. They don't believe they're there yet. They want the learning curve over for the rookies this year so they can start playing next year.The Knight who says Ni!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-35555341413150076842009-12-03T16:03:43.000-08:002009-12-03T16:03:43.000-08:00oh my this is a challange. :) I love it. I'...oh my this is a challange. :) I love it. I'm going to send this to you right here. This recipe is from my Mother in law and has been passed down through the family by word of mouth. I have no written copy of it so this will be the first. Here it goes.<br /><br />I am giving you the recipe for one serving to keep things simple, just increase this recipe for each person you serve. <br /><br />1 egg (seperated ) you will use both the white and the yolk but in different ways<br />1 tbs sugar<br />1 oz of your favorite booze we use Brandy<br />1 8oz cup of milk we use whole milk<br /><br />Dumbrections ;<br /><br />* Seperate the egg and use the yolk holding the egg white in reserve.<br />* In a medium size bowl add the 1 tbs. of sugar to the egg yolk and mix.<br />* Next add 1/4 of the Brandy and stir for about 2 or 3 minutes, then add 1/4 more of the brandy and stir that in for 2 or 3 minutes. Continue these steps until all the brandy is incorporated into the egg. If you have paid attention you will notice the egg yolks will be darker after all the brandy has been mixed in. Don't rush this process the booze cooks the egg and this eggnog will never see a pot or be heated on the stove.<br />* You can now add the milk to this mixture and you are almost done.<br />* Remember that I had you reserve the egg white ? Well now is the time it is needed. You need to whip the egg whites into a meringue like you would if you were topping a pie. ( No sugar is needed in this step ) Once the egg whites are stiff simply fold the egg whites into the milk mixture and you are finished.<br /><br />When you serve this it will be frothy on top. Add a dollop of cool whip and a touch of grated nutmeg and serve. <br />** You can also add as much booze as needed if the Dolphins are stinking up the place.<br /><br />I think this recipe came from the Civil War era because it requires no cooking. I don't know, what I do know is this recipe is not for everyone, you either like it or hate it. But if you add enough Brandy in it you won't remember one way or the other.Fangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-64530401216482569732009-12-03T15:01:14.000-08:002009-12-03T15:01:14.000-08:00I'm not sure I can answer that in the space pr...I'm not sure I can answer that in the space provided here, but I'll try.<br />The main reason why I think our defense is folding in the 2nd half comes<br />down to defensive playcalling/scheme. Coach Pasqualoni said today that they<br />DO make adjustments at halftime, but aren't executing those adjustments.<br />Well that's copping out and oversimplifying things. The thing he's not<br />taking into consideration is that the OTHER team is *also* making<br />adjustments.<br />For example, our pass rush has been much more effective lately in the first<br />half. Then seems to mellow out if not disappear in the 2nd. Part of the<br />reason is that we're using personnel oddly (steady rotation does not mean<br />you play one guy for 50 snaps, then put in the backup for the next 50<br />snaps), and another part is that the other team is throwing in an extra<br />blocker or two to help out. The problem therein lies with a defensive<br />coordinator thinking to himself, hey we got to the QB easily in the 1st<br />half, now I can take my 4th or 5th rusher out and put in an extra<br />corner/safety and we should still be able to generate pass rush.<br />But if you go from 4 on 5 to 3 on 6, you have to figure out a way to balance<br />things out, either by going back to Plan A, or by throwing some disguised<br />blitzes in there. In my 20 years of being a Dolphin, I can count on one<br />hand how many times the Dolphins have sent a corner blitz in the 4th<br />quarter. But you know what, it would work more times than fail because the<br />opponent is going to assume you'll play it safe at that point.<br />The best teams in ANY sport get the lead and keep going for the jugular.<br />You never stop trying to beat someone, even if you're up by 50 points.<br />If UKfinfan was around I'd have him explain how our favorite soccer team<br />plays. Doesn't matter if they're up 4-0 with 5 seconds left, they're going<br />to try to score, and they're not going to stop pushing.<br />The Dolphins have always had issues with playing a full game, and that comes<br />down to coaching, player motivation, and just knowing the game. Everyone of<br />those players and coaches has witnessed amazing comebacks and last second<br />scoring, and yet they seem to be able to 'play 65 minutes' as I like to call<br />it. Meaning, you don't act like 'let's just get through the last ten<br />minutes of the game' instead you act like there's always more time on the<br />clock for your opponent than you might think.<br />I know I kind of got off your question a bit there but the truth is the<br />defense is going to fail if the offense can't produce. Players get tired,<br />and points aren't being scored, which keeps the game close which means the<br />opponent doesn't have to start getting desperate and make mistakes, etc.<br />It's all relative.Tinshakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-55648534649036197432009-12-03T14:42:24.000-08:002009-12-03T14:42:24.000-08:00Tin, I think you know more football then I ever wi...Tin, I think you know more football then I ever will in a lifetime.
