Miami Dolphins

https://soundcloud.com/boricua-phin/boricuaphin-podcast-001 Here is my first Podcast. Figured I'd try my hand at the medium and talk about last weeks game against the Buccs. All in all, I think the game went well. Despite the loss. It truly revealed who is the better Leader in the Dolphins locker room. Hint, it's not Cutler. Take a listen and let me know if you enjoy it!.

TL;DW We Suck. 45% chance to win. Here I talk about the upcoming game versus the Buccaneers. Overall I am expecting a loss. Sadly the dolphins have shown me zero improvements since Ajayi left and I can only assume it's going to get worse. It hurts me as a Dolphins fan but I have to be real and ultimately if you expect the worse, it makes the victory that much better. Expect a follow-up blog after the game on my assessment. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the video.

TL;DR Definitely not convinced, we need to do better. 100yrds is not enough. Kenyan Drake had a break out run for 66yrds and a TD! That composed of exactly 66% of total rushing yards for the Dolphins. For those who are catching on, yes I am being sarcastic and yes we only had a total of 100 rushing yards. 17 attempts with an average of 5.9 yards per carry. That is just straight awful. Comparing it to our opponent, The Carolina Panthers, their QUARTERBACK... just wanted to emphasize on that, ran for 95 yards. Yeah, let that sink in for a second. Thier QB ran for just about as many yards as our whole team did in that game. They ended six bucks shy of 300 yards rushing. Add their 250 from passing and you can see why they put up 45 points against us. Our passing game was decent but not the best. Comparing the two teams the Panthers are a little better on total yards and yards per pass but we were not too far behind on the numbers. So you can safely say we got beat on the ground. Thi

To: Miami Dolphins Coaching Staff Dear Coach, I need to ask you a question. Who are you trying to convince? After listening to both Adam Gase and Darren Rizzi it sounds like you guys are trying to convince yourselves that the Dolphins are a good team this season. I want to maybe put out some realities on the table and perhaps we can both look forward and stop kidding ourselves. First, it is blatantly obvious from our performance the last few weeks that Miami is not even half of what they were last season. Tannehill may have not been the best, but he was getting better and at this point, I think we all can agree we miss him on the field. He is a better QB than Cutler. Sorry to hurt your feelings coach but it is a reality. Second, we do not have a run game. I will level with you and hold out another week to see if Kenyan Drake has a breakout week but chances are that Carolina is not gonna to allow that to happen. Can we also take a side note here and maybe get an answer to why? Wh

TL;DR I don't think so coach, let's see what happens next week. Coach Adam Gase says he is optimistic about the new run. Even though we still have no rushing TD yet for the season and we just lost to the Raiders. However, there were reasons for optimism in a breakout run and overall decent yards per carry in said game. The questions stands, should we be optimistic? Like always let us look at the facts. Reality is we lost... but I am going to look deeper into the stats, specifically, how Oakland's run defense holds up. They rank 27th. For comparison, Miami ranks 7th. So looking at this games rushing yards is not an accurate measurement of skill. Diving a bit deeper into the stats you can figure out that they allow around 116yrds rushing per game (94yrds allowed for the Phins). These figures don't give me much optimism when you start looking at what other strong run offenses have done against the Raiders. Using the Ravens as a mutual opponent comparison you can see
