Teal Death Do Us Part: Miami Dolphins 2013 season thread

[intruder]

Truth be told no QB looks good with pressure in their face. We didnt run we'll against STL and still won so I don't think that'll be the key to stopping us. How y'all defend Tony, Julio, Roddy, Harry Douglas will determine how/if y'all beat us.

Roddy? As in Roddy White? The same Roddy White who hasnt practiced since the 2nd preseason game because of an ankle sprain? The same Roddy White Jamie Dukes and Jason Goff were saying should probably sit down for the next 3 games?

THe only person i fear in that line up is Gonzalez and thats because TE's have been killing us all year. I think we can contain Roddy with a rookie CB and double team Julio

He'll make some plays, but he's not a star QB out there breh. I don't think y'all have enough on offense to stay with us.

ATL 28-24

I 'll give you that. But neither is Matt Ryan

You don't fear Julio but you're willing to send a double to Julio?

Matt Ryan isn't a star QB now?

I said i dont fear him. I didnt say i dont respect him. Julio will require a double team and that should be enough to contain him when we put pressure on Ryan. Gonzalez is the one I feel we have absolutely no answer for.

Okay I'll give you Ryan as a star QB by todays standards of "star" but like ive said many times he's nothing special IMO. With hose weapons around him he has no choice but to be good at the very least. You name me a WR tandem in the league thats better than White (when healthy), Julio and Gonzalez. Name one that even comes close other than maybe Houston's. But what has Matty done with it thus far? He SHOULD win you an SB or two with those receivers at his disposal but he has yet to really take the league by storm like i expected him to when they got Julio to pair up with Roddy who was coming off a 1000 ytd season

Why put a double team on a player you don't fear? If you just respect him, play him straight up. If you have no answer for Gonzalez why not double him? Your logic makes no sense.

Right. Because any time you have good receivers, that QB is automatically great, just like the Arizona Cardinals QB the past few years. Just like Matt Schaub has been a perennial All Pro in Houston. Or like Josh Freeman in Tampa with Mike Williams & Vincent Jackson, hes been awesome.



Wide receivers are only as good as the QB delivering them the ball. So cut the "he should this & he should that". Matt makes it happen b/c he's an elite QB.

Matt hasn't "taken the league by storm"? What the fukk does that even mean? Is it some contrived bullshyt that you apply subjectively when trying to make a "point" or is it some definitive set of statistics & scouting that you've done that is consistent & proven? Inquiring minds want to know

Tony Gonzalez

• I respect him because: He's Tony Gonzalez. Probably the best tight end to have ever played the game. Enough said
• What I fear: His impact. The way this team has performed against decent tight ends is cause for concern and causes me to fear how an experience elite tight end will rip us to shreds

Julio Jones

• I respect him because: He's Julio Jones. One of the best young talents at WR in the league. He's big and fast and has great hands.
• What I do NOT fear: We have the personnel and system that can do a decent job of containing him even if it requires a double team.

See my reason for FEAR has less to do with the particular player. It has a lot more to do with MY TEAM's inability to handle these issue.

homie These other mother fukkers have under achieved too especially Shaub but this is about Matt.

Plain and simple homie: When you're driving a Ferrari I dont expect mofos pushing a Mustang to even come close to you on the road. Unless your Mustang is a SHelby or Saleen but even then, still.
WHen The falcons got Julio while Roddy was just starting to beast up I was looking at the shyt like :this mofo about to put on a show Dan Marino/Tom Brady/Kurt Warner style. I thought them clones were gonna put up 1999 St. Louis Rams type numbers hanging 40 points on mofos every sunday. The talent to do so was there at WR and TE positions.

Answer this simple question: On a scale of 1-10 how satisfied are you with Matt Ryan's performance in comparison to that other QBs are doing with lesser talent around them?

 

[Da_Eggman]

Grimes is gonna be playing with an edge to him

 

[SoulController]

SJax out 2-4 weeks

get the nickel and dime packages ready, i like Jacquizz but he aint getting more than 12 carries gonna be an air assualt for both sides

 

[intruder]

The Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday placed linebacker Sean Weatherspoon on injured reserve, but designated him to return.

Weatherspoon suffered a foot injury in the Falcons' 31-24 Week 2 victory over St. Louis and won't be eligible to return until Week 11 against Tampa Bay.

Running back Steven Jackson suffered a thigh injury Sunday and, according to NFL.com, may miss two to four weeks with the injury. He is viewed by the team as "week to week."

The Falcons already have lost linebacker/defensive end Kroy Biermann, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury Sunday, leaving the team thin at linebacker.

Rookies Joplo Bartu and Paul Worrilow are the two players the Falcons likely will give more playing time.

Weatherspoon, 25, has 10 tackles this season. He finished second on the Falcons with 95 tackles in 2012, when he also had three sacks and an interception.

On Tuesday afternoon, after the Falcons announced he was being placed on IR, he tweeted his thoughts on the move.

Lamar takin that edge with no Spoon around

Biermann out for the year? daaaamn ATL its only week 3

Damn, it feels good knowing we are playing the Falcons, Saints and Ravens and actually believe we can go 3-0.

The Canes and Dolphins are giving me hope. That might be dangerous.

The Falcons are missing:

1. Their best linebacker
2. Their starting RDE
3. Their crucial fullback (their OL sucks)
4. (Reportedly) their stud running back

However, given all of those absences, the Falcons still have a better passing attack then the Colts...who took us to the limit while missing their best RB and TE. So we can easily lose this game.

Grimes will do a good job on Julio Jones -- he's a tremendous corner with intimate knowledge of this team's play-calling, which tends to be vanilla.

Patterson/Carroll, if they continue to perform as they have for the past two games, should do at least a serviceable job on Roddy. He'll get his, but the bleeding won't turn into a hemmorage, especially since Roddy is playing hurt.

The biggest worry is Gonzalez. Traditionally, we suck at defending against TEs and Gonzo is one of the very best. Coyle will need to impress upon our safety tandem the importance of protecting the flat. Wheeler and Misi will also be key, particularly since dropping back against the pass is about the only thing Misi is good at.

Falcons o-line is shyt, so hopefully we can get a decent pass rush. Last week ,we got absolutely no pressure on Luck...which is stupid because out of our front seven, Misi is basically the only one who doesn't have a knack for getting to the QB. Dion Jordan better not whiff on another easy sack.

Hopefully Soliai will be able to play, but if he can't, we can still move Odrick up and keep a good line going.

Lamar Miller had a solid game last week, but I'd like to see more than 69 yards against this team, which wasn't great against the run last year. Akeem Dent is pretty much the only good run blocker in that front 7.

Overall, I think the Falcons biggest downfall is not being able to play four quarters of high tempo football. I think they'll take a narrow lead into halftime and then eat shyt in the 3rd and 4th, as Coyle adjusts its pass rush and Philbin keeps a quick offense pace going.

If Paul Soliai can start and Steven Jackson is out, I'm predicting Dolphins 26 – Falcons 17
