I have to admit, I like watching the kid. Hope he heals and continues making big plays. However, I really can't feel bad for the Dolphins. At least he is scheduled to come back.

A concussed Dalton Kincaid took it in retaliation of Diggs swiping his chance at his first career TD catch a couple weeks ago

Well, a few that are from the early McD days carved out long NFL careers to differing success. Bobby Trees Ronald Darby Sammy Watkins Feliciano started last year for the Giants and has seen action for SF this year. Heck you could throw a lot of guys on the Giants Daboll brought with him if "still in the league" is a qualifier. Matt Breida. Hodgins ect.

I don't think we are going to see any coaches fired anytime soon. The 2 that I would say are most likely are Rivera and Eberflus. Chicago has never fired a HC in season. And if he goes they are already down their DC and have literally no one to take over. The Commanders new owner has already put out he wants to see how the season plays out before evaluation. He's not new to owning sports teams and is noted for being patient. Even in Vegas, Mark Davis was seen on video at a game ridiculing fans that were yelling at him to fire McDaniels. And I don't see any way Belichick gets fired in season. Or at all, really. He'll likely "resign" at some point this or next off season. Maybe week 16 or 17 we see a change. But there doesn't seem to be much smoke this season to me.

This may be the biggest oddity to me in the whole season. The rate of season ending injury around the league seems to be skyrocketing. The amount of top level injuries seems really high as well. And yet somehow all the sudden CMC seems to be made of iron and impervious to even a bruise. Make it make sense.🤷🏼‍♂️

Oh I'm familiar with it. He does an excellent job, however he's not 100% accurate...and he acknowledges that himself. As any doctor will tell you (and he says as well) it's impossible to properly diagnose through the TV. I would say he's likely correct...but with all the unknowns there is a chance he could be off as well.

Has Milano had surgery? If not and the knee is intact there may be an opportunity for him to be back late in the playoffs... depending on which bone/bones were broken. And of course if we make it there.

I mean, obviously if someone throws stupid ludicrous type cash at him that changes the equation. And if he keeps making splash plays someone will get hooked in, possibly. There's a limit with a guy like him, much like there was a limit with Edmunds that you don't pay over. As much as I like how well he's come on the last year and a half or so, he's still an incomplete player when it comes to the run game. His pay has to reflect that.

Nope. Matter of fact I want to re-up AJE. Draft, develop re-sign.

All I can think of with Norman is him being stiff armed out of his jock on national TV by Derrick Henry.

At this point you're lucky they didn't throw you on the plane back to the states and coach you up to start at CB. Couldn't be worse than Elam was Sunday. With no TEs and the signing of Josh Norman, I'm expecting Kelvin Benjamin signed any time now. Just have to make a quick stop at Popeyes for some biscuits.

I do agree that Dorsey doesn't always play to putting guys into places to succeed. One problem I do have with his offense is the way he structured it. There are (or were and I believe still are) a lot of instances where routes are based off what a WR sees. They have options to run different routes based on what defense presents. I think guys read things differently and end up in the same spot because of that at times. Another issue could be that when Allen moves out of the pocket it turns into a bit of backyard ball and guys move to him rather than being aware of what everyone else is doing. All that said they do run a few plays where guys are running the same basi route, just at different depths. If a guy gets jammed or rounds his rout off it can result in receivers ending up near each other as well.

Do Mike Tolbert next!

Amazing how a narrative switches. For YEARS I have seen right here on this board that "defense doesn't matter" and it's all about offense these days anyway. We still have an ELITE defensive line. Floyd and Groot are legit. Add in AJE who is coming along. And anything we get from Von is a plus as well. Ed Oliver is having a career year as well. We have Bernard making plays every week. Benford hopefully back soon and Dane Jackson is adequate. Will we be as good as before? No of course not. But there is no reason to believe this defense can't make some stops. Truthfully, maybe a little new blood and young legs is needed in some spots. I think McDermott scheming the defense will be a plus as well. He'll figure out ways to cover some weak spots. Fortunately, this is all happening early in the year. Gets players like Benford, Williams, Poona or whoever comes in time to get reps and build knowledge in the system. Season is far from over IMO

No time table, but doesn't sound great for either.

Agree with that 99.9% of the time. But we do live in a world with Watson and Hill and I'm sorry, I am a flawed human that would love to see the "uppence" come for guys like that. As far as Achane, he's a real good player. Not sure if he's big enough to last long, though.

Saw a ton of Dolphin fans making fun of and celebrating the Milano injury yesterday. Could be nothing...could be Karma. Either way, I'll take the high road here, but this could be a big loss for them. Either way, hope the kid is ok. Yes, he's on a rival team, but man is he fun to watch.

Like you said Brown gets a lot of help. Interesting enough (to me) is that Dawkins isn't far behind him for amount of help they get. OT is still an issue on both sides.

Last seasons Super Bowl Champions were 3-2 after 5 weeks. Lots of ball left to play. Coming up with conclusions after week 5 is an exercise in failure.

So, you have no answers and have no idea what the coaches or Von saw that made that game the comeback time. Got it.

So, he should have used the next game as a walk through to do nothing? Questions...how was he moving in practices last week? Was he tentative? Moving fluidly? Did he report any discomfort or pain after practice? How did the any re-evals on the knee look? Did the do re-evals? What his mindset about contact and where he's at mentally for game situations? I mean, since you seem to know what's what and you recognized things in 20 snaps and all. Please expound.

Well, he knows all that from 2 years ago. Is Josh the same exact product he was then? I don't think so. I think the bigger hurdle is Martindale is a good DC and will have a good plan in place. However, I don't thing they have the talent that they need to pull it off, much like yesterday for the New Jersey Football Giant Buffalos

I mean, it works both ways. McDermott obviously may know some of Daboll's tendencies, tips and thought process as well. It's the classic "I know that you know that I know that you know that I know" situation.

Could be game plan specific. Could be that he's just not earning the trust of QB1 and the coaches. But it seems that Kincaid was giving opportunity and is seeing his workload lightened. He's still a huge work in progress.

I'm sure this will mend fences. Seriously, of Daboll trots him out next week against our DL he needs to be fired on the spot for malpractice. Between this play and the one where he pushed Waller off the block and got Jones crushed last week I have to ask...is this dude throwing games? Legally blind? Just plain old dumb?
