And the first round of the 2018 NFL draft is in the books. By the end there were 16 trades that took place to make up the 32 picks of the first round. The Miami Dolphins did not make one of those trades. As much as many fans and analysts thought Miami might trade up…
NFL Draft: Simple Thoughts
It’s the day before the NFL draft and I have written nothing. Not one single word. Most years I find a 7 round mock draft for the Miami Dolphins and I also use you throw in first round mock draft for the entire league. This year nada. It’s been hard trying to figure out what…
Ryan Tannehill is the Miami Dolphins Quarterback-Until he isn’t.
It is really that simple. Tannehill will be the starter until he is not. Some seem to have a hard time understanding that. Some fans feel that he’s the worst quarterback to ever come through these parts. That simply is not true. While he will never be an elite quarterback he is still a solid…
Kenny Vaccaro visiting the Miami Dolphins
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that former Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro will visit the Miami Dolphins this Thursday.

Some have questioned why the…

Miami Dolphins: Free Agency Targets
Officially the NFL free agency period begins Tuesday at 4pm. That does not mean we cannot look ahead. I already wrote about Ndamukong Suh here. Suh clearly was the biggest target of this offseason not just for the Dolphins but for free agency overall. It has been widely reported that he will sign with Miami. So what…
The Miami Dolphins and a man named Suh.
Hunting season is almost here. The NFL Free Agency season opens Tuesday at 4pm. Like most years there is one marquee player grabbing most of the attention. This year that player is Ndamukong Suh. He is the white whale this offseason. Franchises will put it all on the line to sign him. Suh is the $100-million…
Greater than Great
From the Great Pumpkin to Alexander the Great to the Great One(Jackie Gleason-look him up you will thank me) as a society we obsess about greatness.
