I remember this play live and not believing that Waddle didnt pop it up that inside lane for 10 yards. Great job stringing it out by the DL/Toohill. Bad lane picking by Waddle.

Oh for sure. I wasnt arguing or disagreeing with you, just expanding your point that they signed those big names, but at what cost.

We always dominate McDaniel and the Dolphins. I'll give McDermott credit for that. Very important to show up against a division rival like that. However... Let's see how prepared and disciplined we look next Monday against the Jags which seem to be on the opposite end of McD's coaching spectrum...

With his fingers being taped together I'd bet good money that he broke/fractured one of the fingers and that's about it. Love that we were able to blow out the Dolphins and didnt need him to run at all. It was almost like we were back in 2022 and he was searching for words so he didnt make it seem too bad and they could rush Tua back onto the field again. Tell me more about how it was a "back injury"!

He's never been anything much. We definitely got the better pick with Groot. That seemed obvious their first year.

Also super annoying that we got a BEAUTIFUL performance from the Bills last night and all they are talking about this morning is the stupid concussion because dummy dove head first into our guy. The WORST possible thing he could've done. Just slide feet first bro. Havent even seen a single James Cook highlight this morning.

This is getting obnoxious. Feels like its become a lot of virtue signaling and almost some narcissistic trolling. JMO.

Christian Wilkins (13th overall). Robert Hunt (2nd rd). Andrew Van Ginkel (5th rd). Jerome Baker (3rd rd). Brandon Jones (3rd rd). Raekwon Davis (2nd rd). All Miami draft picks that were allowed to walk instead of getting a 2nd contract while they threw more money at Ramsey and Hill, and extended a mid-tier QB. It's like they got all those picks in the Tunsil trade and then threw them all away. That is how you destroy a franchise.

I stand by my original assessment.

True, and to take it a step further... None of this happens if one cares enough about others and their community to NOT drive 60+mph through neighborhoods.

Nowadays you gotta be able to make a "dank meme" about tackling in order to get through to the players.

I was agreeing with you.

YES! I'm not on any social media but there is nothing I love more than a good burner account outing!

Yeah, another false equivalence.

Oh dont get me wrong, a good portion is on the players as well. They should absolutely know better at this point of their football careers. And please dont ever confuse my Wednesday posts with GDT posts. But for issues that are so widespread and consistent, the accountability starts with coaching.

Of course. Voting is completely different than being given a gun and power of authority over anyone you come across on the street. Complete false equivalence.

The best cops are the ones that have 4 year degrees in pretty much anything else other than criminology/criminal justice/law enforcement/etc. The entire point of requiring a 4 year degree is to produce a more well-rounded, experienced, mature person who has had a chance to interact and deal with a diverse set of people. https://policeofficer.org/importance-college-degree-police/

Ah so you agree one bad apple spoils the bunch!

Need a citation on that one. He bounced around 3 different schools and was kicked out of one for domestic abuse if that's what you mean by degree.

It's been an issue through his entire tenure.

It's an issue on Special Teams and one that has plagued our defense for years. These players all learned technique since high school and made it all the way through college ball. Yes, they know how to tackle. But they arent. There is something being missed by the coaches. And at the very least it is on the coaches to fix, whether through different motivation or punishment.

When a bunch of guys are making the same mistake, that is coaching.

Also, in countries that require a 4 year degree in order to be a police officer, there are far lower rates of abuse and corruption. The idea that a just out of high school person can take 6 months of training and then be thrown out onto the streets with a gun is a big reason we are where we are today.

💯 No excuse for Davis' pitiful attempt at a soft shoulder check instead of going in for a real tackle, other than bad coaching. Like I've said elsewhere, we are an undisciplined, poorly-coached team that happens to have a Josh Allen.

That's a problem not a feature.
