Preseason 2011:Dolphins Vs Bucs

[MikeO]

Dolphins fist 7 possessions........only ONE drive went more than 3 plays. Granted we had the "big play TD" which is good, but aside from that the offense still stinks. Henne playing better which is nice and could answer a HUGE problem for years to come if it continues, but with no o-line or running backs it looks bad on offense...again

Dude....do you EVER say anything positive??? -EK

Never..but in his defense, has there ever been anything positive lately?

did you NOT read the post like 5 min ago where I praised Henne, Marshall and the d-line for their play tonight???

Sorry when you currently have 14 rushing attempts for 10 yards, it ain't positive bro

When you follow up that praise with, "Offensive line looks beyond terrible. Carey/Colombo are god awful. Get rid of them both. Sign O'Hara tomorrow and plug him in at RG. Then maybe Murtha plays RT when Long comes back.

Sparano and o-line guru...lol, yeah right! We have 4 first round draft picks on our o-line when Long is healthy and the unit sucks!" it sort of undercuts the value of said praise don't you think? -EK

NO....point out the good. Point out the bad. What's wrong with that?

Not everything was good tonight. it's called breaking down the game and what happened on the field. Not putting your head in the sand and trying to convince yourself everything was great when it wasn't! the O-line SUCKED! Henne was good. Marshall was good. The secondary was bad.

Some good, some bad. Sorry!

Difference between saying it's bad and calling for half the unit to be traded. Such a drama queen. Good grief. -EK

Traded? Never said that. Plus no team in their right mind would trade for those scrubs. There are free agents without teams better than Mark Colombo right now.

Dallas had an awful o-line last year and even they didn't want Mark Colombo. We sign him and hand him a starters job day 1. tells ya  something. Vernon Carey wasn't good tonight. Sorry, he wasnt.

O-line gave up 5 sacks and has less than 15 rushing yards with 10 min to go in the game, you want to believe they had a productive night, go for it bro. Be the "1" and be out there on that limb.

"Carey/Colombo are god awful. Get rid of them both."  My bad- you want half the line cut, not traded. That's SO much more positive. What I saw this week was Henne go 10/13 for 175 yards and a TD and Marshall have 90 yards and a TD in only a half against a team that went 10-6 last year. Much improvement. So what if the line wasn't as good this week. It's not going to be every week, so it's nice to see that there are other things we can do well. My point is, where positive people see an opportunity, you see a chance to point out flaws and rag on things. How does that help anyone? -EK

They had one drive go more than 3 plays with the starters, ok one was a big play TD which was great. Kudos to everyone on that one play. Thats 1 out of 6 drives that went more than 3 plays...NOT GOOD!!!  They have less than 20 yards rushing with about 6 min left to go in the game. O-line gave up 5 sacks and had a ton of penalties.

Aside from the one big play and Henne playing very well, the offense was terrible. ALL in part due to the o-line. And 2 out of 5 isn't half, quick math lesson for ya champ

Pointing out flaws does help...why do you think coaches are always miserable? They see flaws and reasons for concern. Positions where upgrades and corrections need to be made.  Just put me on ignore if you don't like my posts sorry. But I didn't do anything no other rational Dolphins fan did tonight. We all saw the same thing live with our eyes!!!

"Aside from the one big play and Henne playing very well, the offense was terrible." Aside from all those points we gave up last year, we would have had a perfect season. Aside for the breasts my aunt woulda been my uncle. Aside from yadda, yadda, yadda. This is EXACTLY what I mean- Phins could win a game 41-0 and you'd be bitching about the missed extra point. God, you must be miserable. -EK

for once i agree with Mike hahaha

this o-line looks doodie as hell

  would rather talk about what I "might" say than the game tonight.

Interesting stuff. Everyone thanks you for "derailing" the thread.

Anyone who saw the game tonight saw the obvious. Gave up 5 sacks. 18 rushing attempts for 17 yards with a few min left in the game. I don't know how anyone can spin that into a positive. It's not like Tampa is the 85' Bears either

I actually agree. I just think that pointing it out numerous times through multiple posts doesn't make your argument more valid, it just makes you seem negative. It's also only ONE PRESEASON GAME, not the end of the world people. I'll take barely average O-line play and a win over stellar O-line play and a loss every time. -EK
