manchild157 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Nice to see draft picks after their rookie year work hard on their shortcomings. I will be so glad to actually watch game planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goskins10 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Later this week tey will come out with the 4 keys to the game. I do not know what they wll be writing, but I will tell you what I think they need to be, and not just for the Dolphins. I believe they are the same for all 16 games outside a specific adjustment here and there. 1. We must have a real pass rush. Not one that gets 10 sacks against Jacksonville then can't get a single sack at an important time in the game. 2. We must rush for at least 150 yds a gm, every game. I don't care who gets the yards, but we have to run early and often. 3. Our STs just have to be average - that's I am asking for! Average! 4. We have to limit mistakes - Interceptions (looking at you Mr. Cousins), stupid penalties (looking at you young OLine!), fumbles. We need to value every possession, every play, even moment. Ply each play like it's to win the Super Bowl! Off, Def, STs - limit the mistakes! 5. This is typically 4, but I will add a 5th - The fans have to remain patient. This is not turning around a few months or even a season most likely. Loss of fan support could get the team discouraged at the end of the season when they could be learning the most. I think we can look at these 4(+1) after every game to see how well we did them and it will go a long way to telling if we won or not. I have seen some predictions going around - So here is mine - 5-11 maybe 6-10 if we are really lucky. WHat I want to see is improvement as the season goes on.

I'll also add that we need to be MUCH better on 3rd downs on the D side of the ball. Definitely not give up 10 play 80 yard drives. Ideally more 3 & outs. This along with your 1 - 4 & I think we'll win more than we lose. As far as your #5....good luck with that. HTTR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTskin Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Go- you nailed it, I'd like to add one key: We need to get the offense clicking before halfway into the 2nd quarter. I like McVay, but he takes far too long to get the offense into a rhythm. I don't know if he would change his gameplanning techniques, but I hope he realizes that he needs to improve. Sidenote to that- good to hear that Cousins has been prepping and watching tape on the dolphins since last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acworth skins fan Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Go- I agree. Hoping that Kirk does limit the turnovers, but only time will tell. The defense had better put pressure on the QB or it may be a long season. I'll put my 2cents in and say that we will go 7-9. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johns Bass Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 7-9 is a pretty big leap from 4 and forever. I don't expect a huge jump record wise. I do hope to see glimpses of a promising future. Like the OLine gelling by the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acworth skins fan Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 True but this is coming from someone who's been telling his family that we are going to the super bowl each year for 45 years. Can't help myself. Hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
