If you read the article at all you'd realize that the "report card" is a grade given by the players and how they feel about the team and it's facilities. Whether or not the players are happy with the ownership, management, and their facility is meaningless? If you weren't so hung up on th...

But with the Jefferson extension, that cap hit doesnt kick in until 2024 correct? I would love to take a class on cap management. I'm really good with numbers, but also feel like there are so many things that go into salary cap and so many loop holes that I dont know about or quite understand. I ju...

I do not know who put it out there about Purple Daily, but I want to say Thank You. I have been watching every day for the past few weeks and love it. I told my brother, and he now listens every night. I love it when Boone is on there and I like listening to Thor and his insight and knowledge of th...

Didnt realize this but I guess NFL teams are allowed to designate 2 players as a post June 1st cut prior to free agency. I think this is a no-brainer for someone like Thielen. If he's designated post June 1, that saves us like $13 million compared to if he was a pre-June 1, he would only save us $6...

Overall a solid plan and not a whole lot to disagree with here. Thanks, I appreciate it. I think I might keep Reed over Schlottman since I think the blocking seemed to improve when he came in for Schlottman. Snapping the football was tough for Reed, but that is something he can learn if he worked o...

I disagree. Cutting both of them outright is $25+ million in dead money and only saves $13.7 million combined between the two. Not sure why any GM would do that. Harrison can still play and play at a solid level. Thielen on the other hand, is going backwards fast. I think Thielen is the no brainer ...

No, they certainly didn't have a good game but even then they forced a punt on the Giant's last drive and put the ball back into the offense's hands with 3 minutes left for a chance to go into overtime. If you recall, it was the offense that blew the opportunity for the win in the end. The Vikings ...

I guess my main point is that most of the players on the team, especially the higher tier players, were on the 2020 and 2021 defenses that did play more aggressively. They did blitz more. They did mix up their looks. And the defenses still sucked. Agreed it did still suck but again, Zimmer at the e...

Also don't think PP in a man scheme is gonna go well. Agreed. That's why I didnt keep him in my mock offseason. I will say, someone that I think is going to fit well are guys like Booth, Asamoah and Cine. These 3 are all aggressive players that seem to fit Flores' scheme much more than Donatell's

In 2021 Miami was 15th in points allowed per game which is really what matters the most. Basically middle of the road. They get an average grade. Load up and blitz didn't help much that season. I don't like a 3-4 no more than that. I'd rather go 5-2. I don't care about some exotic blitz because I d...

Huh? Flores runs a very aggressive 3-4. Lots of man coverage. Load up and blitz a ton. Very little 2 deep safety. ----- "....The way the Dolphins deployed their defenders was the polar opposite of last year’s Vikings. While Donatell’s defense showed a two-high safety shell look pre-snap, Flore...

Anyway, who's to say that a more aggressive defense wouldn't have just got burned even more? It's all well and good to say we needed to generate more pressure. I'm sure that would have helped if more aggressive game planning meant more pressure. That's no guarantee at all. Agreed nothing is guarant...

Enjoyable read php, appreciate the content! Think a trade of Dalvin for Queen would be intriguing. Hadn't pondered that one. I am really curious how Flores evaluates our current defensive talent. I hope he's going to be fully involved with all aspects of defensive roster construction. Agree with th...
