Dolphins Full Tank Mode

[MPStack]

Playing some strong ball against the Ravens. 

[MTC]

Dolphins would have to pay me to attend future games if I was a fan. Embarrassing.

Should i drop drake in fantasy

 

[JimJaime]

Anyone has Brady, AB, or the Pats D start them in fantasy next week lol.. he’ll i may just pick up a D that’s facing them every week! Lol

[John Hammonds]

From PFT's Mike Florio:

 

"Per a league source with knowledge of the situation, multiple Dolphins players contacted their agents after Sunday’s season-opening blowout loss and directed them to attempt to engineer trades elsewhere. The players believe that the coaching staff, despite claiming that they intend to try to win, aren’t serious about competing and winning and by all appearances have bought into the notion that the Dolphins will take their lumps now in the hopes of laying the foundation via high draft picks for building a successful team later."

they usually come to play against the Patriots in Miami, but its hard to imagine this dolphins team beating a stacked Patriots offense.

 

they might be among the worst teams the league has seen in a while lol.  kind of amazing they have won as many games as they have over the last few years too

Didn't see that, but I’ll gladly place a bet L. Jackson won’t throw numbers like that in another game these season.  It was tooooooo easy. 

[King Colt]

Hoody should treat the Dolphins game as preseason resting all starters. Fish players are on their phones to their agents screaming, "GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

[shakedownstreet]

Fish Tank!

 

 

[Myles]

They are doing things the way they feel they need to in order to build a good team in the next few years.  They should trade some of the players who want out if they can get a good pick back for them.  They seem destined for the #1 draft and should get a QB of the future there. It's a big bummer for Rosen as no one will know if he is good or not for 2 straight seasons.   

[B~Town]

Do they have anyone worth trading for.  Fire sale coming

715 passing yards, wow.

 

Bold! Very bold!!

 

That's 188 more passing yards than the recent (after 1990) record holder, Matt Schaub's 527.

[PuntersArePeopleToo]

And now Minkah Fitzpatrick is allowed to explore a trade

Brady would never come out of that game, no matter how much they lead by.  

 

He's a stat padder.

I would be all about Fitzpatrick coming to the Colts. He can play multiple positions in the secondary. Of course, I’d be shocked anyone meets the Dolphins asking price. What a mess in Meeyamee.

[waka waka]

i don't think they are going to get a first round pick for him. he made a statement about not liking playing the box safety role since hes not 215-220 i'd see if they'd be game with a third and a player Quincy and a 3rd?

I doubt they’d budge for anything but a 1st.

Has anybody considered the notion that their coach may be incompetent also?

Ya he has made his career by doing that.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Who knows how the coaches handle the game plans and play calls.  I can guarantee that the players will try their best every play. Their play and effort on tape is their living, breathing resume'.  But even trying on plays called that are not conducive in the situation can make them look bad.  That's why some of them want out. That and not wanting to rack up the losses.

I feel sorry for Brian Flores. However, you have to start somewhere and he probably won’t last through that rebuild.  As a first time HC, you’d probably like a little better situation taking over a team, than the mess in Miami. Hopefully, it works out for him, but I doubt Miami is competitive for at least three years.

Agreed about Flores.

 

I think the term tanking means that players are not playing hard, or that management is trying to get the team to lose.

 

I think management has decided they are in rebuild mode.  To think they are shedding players in hopes of losing enough games in hopes of getting the first pick in the drat to take Tua just doesn't make sense.  They want a lot of picks so they can start from scratch, not just for a Alabama QB.

 

Not a bad plan really.  Sucks for this year though.

That's it.  I think the definition of tankiong is the GM/team having a fire sale of their best players to tear down and rebuild from the ground up.  Not player effort or coaches game plans and play calls.  They have tlo do their best or risk never having a job in the NFL ever again.

I disagree, if I read you correctly.  I think tanking is intentionally trying to lose.  I don't think management is trading away players in order to lose.  Losing just gets you a higher draft position.  

 

I think they are trading players in order to get more picks and rebuild the team under some sort of different plan.  Losing this season is a byproduct of that, but I don't think it is the goal.  JMO.

Except he is not wanting to play multiple position thats why he is also wanting out

[rock8591]

Would trade for their Christian Wilkins or Davon Godcheaux.

That doesn't happen with players and coaches in the NFL.  they like their jobs and the pay. Losing on purpose is a one way ticket out of the NFL.

And trading away players gets more draft picks at the higher [position.

Yes, and I find that I can finally embrace the term 'tanking' if that is the definition.

Not necessarily the goal, yet an expected result. Face it, amidst all the 'next man up' mantra's, everyone knows that the next man isn't as good as the first man.

We have different terms.  I simply think they are trying to get as many draft picks ASAP.  I think they would like to win in spite of that, but they know they won't and losing now won't let it stop their plan.

1.0  Players and coaches never 'try' to lose. Never.  They can't tank.

 

2.0 GM's know the backups are not as good.  Therefore, if they deal away the better players for draft capital in the future, that places the losing on them.  They tanked the team. Not players, not coaches.

 

The lesser players will still try. The coaches will try to hide weaknesses and exploit strengths. But a GM doesn't make a team better or a winner by getting rid of the better players.  It does likely add numbers to the loss column. Even if they hope the coaches can still find a way to win (which they most often do not).
