BwanaZulia Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I know there is a vBookie on this, but thought we could get some discussion going on it. So, who is watching this game tonight? For me, the Dolphins are only going one of two ways this season. They are either going to win the East or be below .500. If Daunte lives up to his 2004 potental, if he can stay healthy and protected and makes Chambers his new Moss, we are in trouble. They will need to find some secondary help and see if Ronnie Brown can handle the full load of a season, but they could be dangerious. On the other hand, if Daunte gets hurt, that season goes down the tubes. Joey, from what I have seen, is not up for the job. What say? BZ (BTW: I invited a few PhinHeaven people to drop in and chat, so be nice... or semi-nice).

124 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I'll be watching and cheering on the Panthers. It will be a good game to watch and scout the Dolphins from a fans prospective and we'll see how Daunte will do against a real defense for 3 quarters.

Personally, I don't think he is ready to start the season and Nicky is hiding it. If he plays a full qtr I will be surprised. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BwanaZulia Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 I heard on NFL Network that he'll play into the 3rd....should be interesting. I think he has thrown 11 throws in 2 games, so that would be huge. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BwanaZulia Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 I agree. Also, Harrington Sucks. Their 3rd stringer, Lemon, looks pretty good. I am waiting to see them dump it off to M.

BZ I hope not. Don't like the guy, not real happy he's on the team, if he helps the team, then I gotta root for him, but I don't have too enjoy doing it.

Gainzo Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 The game is on FOX so that means Buck and Aikman. Can't stand those two. As far the game itself?

Gainzo Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Delhomme has had a boatload of time to throw the football tonight. He hasn't hit his targets much but that has to be a worry for the Dolphins D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
like2god Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'm more concerned with the lack of running game tonight. Tonights game is my first opportunity to see the Phins in action. My initial thoughts so far on D is that Big Daddy Wilkinson still has a lot of life left. I wasn't sure what we would be getting from him, but I like what I see from him so far. Special teams definitely needs to do a better job than they have been. Why are the Dolphins calling so many screens and where are the deep down the field passes? At least try it once. Ronnie Brown should have cut right on 4th and 1 at the goal line, but I can understand his decision. Culpepper started out a little shaky, but his numbers for the first half are pretty good. Most people didn't even think that he would be playing this soon. Anyway, it's preseason, it's better that they get all of the mistakes out of the way now.

The offensive line and running game are the things that concern me. We had a horrible oline 2 years ago and they really put it all together last year under Houck. I haven't seen that so far tonight.
