Forward Progress Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 In spite of our O-Line, our running game has still been effective, thanks to the talents of McCoy, Karlos and Taylor. I would descrife our running game as "opportunistic" with talented guys running for open space instead of through holes created by the O-Line. Pass protection hasn't been very good - it seemed like the pocket was getting pushed back into Taylor pretty easily by the Patriots. I felt the hype around the Dolphins was overblown this off season, but winning in Miami in the September heat is a real challenge. Every week so far has been a huge game for us and this one is big too. My countdown to Sunday starts every Monday. FP
Dorkington Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I don't understand how we are the underdogs here. But still, that D-line is going to give us fits. The good news is that outside of Grimes their DBs are not very good. Their linebackers, unlike NE are not very good, so if we can get Shady to the second level they can really do some damage, especially on screens. And most importantly, even for all their changes in the offseason, their offense really is inferior to the Colts. If we could shut them down, we can shut the Miami offense down. Whatever advantage we have against their defense isn't gonna matter much if we give up 30 points. Hopefully our defense shows up this week. Currently we have the 28th ranked defense.

Every week so far has been a huge game for us and this one is big too. My countdown to Sunday starts every Monday. FP I actually think that the run blocking was mostly solid on Sunday. They blew NE off the ball on the first series, when plays were coming from under center and with a rhythm-style running attack. When they went to the inside zone stuff is when the run game was ineffective IMO. So much of the running game is about timing; Roman needs to get comfortable with what approaches result in the best timing for this offense and stick to them (primarily--nothing wrong with throwing some wrinkles into the mix to keep teams honest). Pass pro has been less than stellar. I'm hoping that'll get better with experience and the return of Kromer. I do, however, think that Taylor caused some of his own protection problems on Sunday.

Tyrod's Tailor Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Week 2 was an ugly loss, but so what. Bills will crush Miami. It's all good.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Dolphins have penalty problems too There’s no debating that the Bills have to cut back on their penalty count, which currently leads the league at 25 through two games in 2015. But the Miami Dolphins are not far behind after committing 13 alone in their Week 2 loss at Jacksonville this past Sunday. “Thirteen penalties are unacceptable, it’s way too many,” said Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin of his team’s yellow flag total from Sunday. “I think I was right in saying it’s the most we’ve ever had since I’ve been here.
YoloinOhio Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 @OmarKelly: Dolphins problems: 1. O-line is BAD. 2. No run game. 3. D-line isn't what was advertised. 4. A ton of injuries. 5. Young safety 6. LBer play

I think he writes for Sun Sentinel and James Walker is their ESPN Rodak guy. Maybe he's like their Sully.

YoloinOhio Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 This tweet from Rodak last night may never be topped: @mikerodak: Doug Marrone opting out to take a job in the AFC South ain't looking so bad. Shrewd career move IMO.
