For you Armando lovers....

^^ Dave, I think you're thinking about a different guy.  That's Orlando Alzugaray (https://twitter.com/BigOShow) - he's on the radio.  This is Armando Salgueiro, an equally worthless writer for the Herald.

What I don't like about Armando is the way "he serves things up." I don't expect everything to be all rosy, but he seems to go out of the way to be negative and critical. Don't we have enough of the media that does that to us? You would think that the "hometown newspaper" would have a sportswriter who is more supportive of the team. In fact, I think he bites the hand that feeds his sorry butt.

This is exactly correct.  I will never forget last season...

Monday, Armando reports a "rumor" citing himself as the source, that Sparano's firing is imminent.
Tuesday, the same Armando goes into Sparano's press conference, and asks him to comment on the article and rumor (that he made up) about him getting fired.
Wednesday, Sparano got fired for being a distraction to the team.

I that's not the media making up the news and influencing the results, I don't know what is.  That's the most irresponsible journalism I've ever seen.

I didn't think they were on the O line. Arizona was blitzing all day. RT still needs to learn when to throw the ball away. It's not like he didn't know what was coming. When the Cards did the same thing to Vick, I heard a lot of talking heads saying that Vick has to make better decisions under pressure- they didn't put it all on the O line. -EK

I don't know what Vick and the Eagles have to do with this, but Philbin disagreed. He said that both of those were mostly on the O line. He didn't go into specifics but he said there's a system in place to pick up those blitzes and it didn't work for whatever reason, so maybe Tannehill is partly to blame for not pointing it out or something, I don't know, I just know that Philbin said it was mostly on the O line and they would work on it.

Barry Jackson's Monday column gave the details. Lane missed the blitz on a couple occasions which caused havoic. And on another play Incognito helped Pouncey instead of blocking

Fullback Jorvorskie Lane took responsibility for not picking up the blitz on Daryl Washington’s sack of Tannehill that forced a fumble with the Dolphins protecting a 21-14 fourth quarter lead. Vonnie Holliday recovered and Arizona went on to tie the game.

“Lane’s blocking was a little sporadic at times,” Philbin said.

On the overtime interception, Richie Incognito decided to help Mike Pouncey on Sam Acho, leaving Paris Lenon a clear path to Tannehill, who was hit by Acho as he threw the interception to Kerry Rhodes.

Yes, I am talking about the Big O.  I skimmed the name in the title -- my bad.

Big O's birthday was yesterday. I actually talked to him yesterday going over some website stuff I am working on with him.

If I knew you loved him so much Dave I would have passed along a birthday greeting from you!
