Miyagi-Do Karate

Josh Norman. Git r done, Buddy!!

Lost in the shuffle of all the bodies…. Totally stinks.

He was directly responsible for two of the TD’s, esp if you include his unnecessary roughness penalty. he strikes me as more of your traditional strong safety— good tackler and blitzer. Not sure he is that good in coverage.

I inexplicably took my Allen jersey off at halftime. No idea why too. Sorry, guys.

haha— true. I will say that if you want to fault the red zone efficiency, blame the defense. They gave up 3 for 3 inside the red zone. Johnson was late on the slant; Johnson penalty gave the dolphins new set of downs inside the 5; and the other one the run D didn’t hold up.

I don’t think anything failed us. A few execution errors and flukey plays is the difference. Can’t win them all And can’t convert 100% of the time in the red zone.

thats the problem with the back judge making that call. He had no angle of Johnson actually pulling up. It was actually a pretty critical call in the game.

I actually thought Bates suffered heat stroke out there.

on the first question, you are absolutely right. If you throw a red flag there on a play that cannot be challenged, it is supposed to be a flag. McDaniel threw it to challenge a non-call on an intentional grounding. Should have been a penalty.

I did think after moss broke that big run, there was an opportunity to keep pounding Moss. The fins D had to be tired too by that point.

That’s true that a lot of guys for them gutted it out. But it seemed like the same could be said for us. Diggs was cramping up every other play and McKenzie was throwing up— and they kept coming back.

It’s actually not a joke, and I don’t disagree with you. That said, a fine is what will happen. They aren’t going to take away a draft pick or something like that for a violation like this. I would expect a big fine, and probably Some remedial action (new independent doctor).

The running scheme is killing me. Not sure why we can’t draw up some of the same running plays that Miami ran today with the misdirection. Not that they ran super well, but there were at least some lanes for the back.

to my eye, there is no chance he can get out of bounds based on how the defender came in. He would have to have run backwards to do so, and that would have probably caused the clock to keep rolling.

I think the later start time there helps with the heat. I don’t think the heat index is over 100.

This could be trouble for the dolphins. I can see some Monster fine.

It seems like a lot of teams across the league are getting hit too.

Had a debate about this earlier this week about this. I was worried about our ability to handle the blitz. While we obviously handled it well to have a very great offensive performance, where it hurt us was on a few key plays (the fumble and some of the pressure generated in the red zone). And we were never able to really Make the dolphins pay with a huge pass play. will be curious to see how it goes next week, because the ravens are going to bring it too. They aren’t sitting back in a shell.

Johnson and Hamlin are sort of different types of safeties. I was impressed at how well they hit and tackled and blitzed. Don’t think they have the cover skills that are anywhere close to Hyde and Poyer.

totally agree. If they run it with him, what about that pulling sweep they ran last year?

I like Campbell usually, but that was a dirty play. Just pulled him down unnecessarily well after the ball was gone.

I don’t, but it was a bad hold. The refs were letting a lot go today, but it wasn’t a bad call.

i guarantee Wilkins gets fined for that hit on Knox today. Blind side right to his helmet.

What hurts about that one was the scheme. The bills rushed 3 guys on that play!!! I understand why you would do that normally, but we have a bunch of newbies in the secondary.

After that phantom Benford hold, refs let all these corners play handsy today. That really helped Miami with their man coverage.
