Miami Dolphin’s Off Season To Do List

Posted: 4th January 2010 by T.J. Morrill in NFL
While our beloved Dolphins didn't make the playoffs this year, it was still a fun season of football to watch. I'm telling you I think you'd be hard pressed to find a more entertaining team to watch than the Miami Dolphins. Now that the season is over, it's time to look at what the Dolphins need to do to improve this squad for the 2010 season. First and foremost ...

Bad Officiating Costs Miami Playoffs…Again

Posted: 28th December 2009 by T.J. Morrill in NFL
The picture tells the story of the last two weeks for the Dolphins: heartbreak and disappointment after coming just so close to tasting the playoffs. After losing to Tennessee last week, the Dolphins still found themselves with a shred of playoffs hopes left playing against Houston in Miami.á As we all recall in overtime last week, Greg Camarillo got a 15-yard unnecessary roughness call for simply downing a player who intercepted a ...

Stripes Spell the End for the Miami Dolphins’ Playoff Hopes

Posted: 20th December 2009 by T.J. Morrill in NFL
Officiating in professional and collegiate sports has been awful in recent times. Affecting the outcomes of games by finding the lamest excuse to call a ridiculous penalty. The latest example is the Miami Dolphins game at Tennessee. In overtime, Chad Henne had thrown an interception and as the defender took a knee surrendering himself, his teammate began encouraging him to get up and run. So to be safe Greg Camarillo ran ...

Dolphins Take Flight and Eek by Pats

Posted: 6th December 2009 by T.J. Morrill in NFL
After watching that nail biter between my beloved Phins and the terrifying Patriots all I can say is...wow! It would appear the Dolphins have finally fueled up the pass game and taken flight. While for much of the game I had to wonder why the Dolphins abandoned the run so much, I was very impressed with the receivers and with Chad Henne. Brian Hartline is running fade routes to perfection, Davone Bess ...

Horrendous Play-Calling Hurts Dolphins in Loss To the Bills

Posted: 29th November 2009 by T.J. Morrill in NFL
While the final score was 31-14, I will assure you this was not as lopsided a game as the score would lead you to believe. This game was tied in the 4th quarter but the Dolphins let it get out of hand. In fact, the Dolphins should have blown the game open in the first half. However, Dolphin offensive coordinator Dan Henning's play calling was atrocious. On their first drive of the game, ...

A Look at the Dolphins Defense without Jason Ferguson

Posted: 24th November 2009 by T.J. Morrill in NFL
As many of you are aware, the Miami Dolphins have lost Jason Ferguson for the rest of the season. This hurts almost as bad as losing Ronnie Brown two weeks ago, as now the Dolphins have lost key players on both sides of the ball. Ferguson was an important part of stopping the run at the nose tackle position and was a key for getting pressure on the quarterback (even though Paul ...

Miami Dolphins Refuse to Sink

Posted: 20th November 2009 by T.J. Morrill in NFL
Two wins in five days have brought the Miami Dolphins back to the .500 mark. The team has shown promise as they look to make another miracle run at the playoffs.á What makes the last win so impressive is the big story with Ronnie Brown. Brown is out for the season now with a lisfranc fracture in his foot. Many were wondering what would happen with the wildcat, and the offense as ...

Dolphins-Panthers: Miami’s Offense without Ronnie Brown

Posted: 17th November 2009 by T.J. Morrill in NFL
With Ronnie Brown out, the Dolphins will need to find ways to move the ball other than the Wildcat with Brown as the focul point. If they want to use the Wildcat Ricky Williams is going to have to be the one taking snaps. I know Ricky is not Ronnie but he is still a great runner. The only problem is that instead of sitting back and improvising like only Brown ...

Can the Miami Dolphins Make a Comeback in the AFC East?

Posted: 13th October 2009 by T.J. Morrill in NFL
It was a wild night in Miami. Monday Night Football against the Jets. The Dolphins started 0-3 but now it looks like the Dolphins are right back in the thick of things at 2-3 and only one game out of the division lead. Chad Henne has taken control of this team in the absence of Chad Pennington and the Dolphins look like they might still have a fighting chance in ...
