We'll see what the deal with Woods is, but if he's injured, do you guys figure we see Trystan Hill?

Not ascending, but still good.

MIA is dumping, dude, have you really not noticed? It's obvious they don't want to win this year. Quinn was a clear salary dump. Tua, Tua, Tua
They are tanking not dumping. Dumping means not getting value.. they got 2 1st rounders for Tunsil.

Another good win. The offense lead the way, again. I am not happy at all about the Pass rush. Almost non existent. Crawford is just a waste. He can’t play DE at all. Collins? Haven’t seen much from him. How bad can Hill and Taco be? Quinn is going to be a huge upgrade and I am hoping Gregory can resurface.

Thoughts?
very concerned about our Defense in general..we can get gashed in passing game it seems from not too good teams or QB's...so whats going to happen starting week 4?

oh youre just a hater.....kidding, I kid. Around here you cant be critical sometimes

but you are right, imagine this team with a pass rush, or as Collinsworth would say a "pash rush"
E--Collinsworth dips into the sauce during commercials..hence..the "shh" when it should be "s"

$21M a year.

I expect more once you get paid. He's stolen money for 2 weeks.

You get paid like Khalil Mack. Produce like him.
Dire--it seems always like that after someone gets paid...we paid..Dez..and then he never balled again

I'm watching some of last year's game on NFL Game Pass and I'm telling you all, Taco is a better pass rusher than what we are seeing from anyone not named Tank.

He must have cussed out a coach or committed some other cardinal sin in the locker room, because otherwise, they are not playing him of spite. This pass rush will get better with Quinn but there has to be some reason they are sidelining Taco, especially after last week's (non)performance by this D Line.

Late to practice/skip meetings?

That's the only thing I can think of, because he was the best DL in the Houston preseason dress rehearsal game, nearly killed Watson.

Also possible he's bait for the Dolphins, with a pick or two, after we play them/before the trade deadline.

Even if you just wanted to see how he 1-gaps playing a penetrating DT on obvious pass rushing downs, just tell him to shoot the gap as fast as possible and try to kill the QB. Try to do something to get pressure anyway.

I don't know what's up, but seems to me like it couldn't hurt to try at least.

Lol @ your word play...what you think about “not boys” as well?

On the bright side who’d a thunk dak would carry the team and not the run game or the D. Join me, anyone out there, who like me was wrong, for a serving tomorrow evening of crow with a lemon caper butter reduction and a balsamic asparagus purée on the side.

I love you Dak and I’m sorry I thought I knew everything about football just cus I watched an all-22 one time.

P.S. Why is Tavon Austin still a thing? Pls find out for me somebody..anybody

On the less hysterical side, all our best pass rushers are not up to speed yet. Crawford and Lawrence are both coming off surgery. Quinn hasn't played a down yet.

Miami should be a cakewalk. Save the fits til after game 4.

People are analyzing EVERY Zeke touch bc of his new contract but no one is discussing Dlaws lack of production and the man is soaking up 20 mil of the cap

Yeah it's frustrating (especially for me I have them in my Fantasy league!) but regardless of the non-sack stats, the D is doing a decent job of containing teams. They are only rushing 4 and staying sound in their assignments which is causing a lot of 3rd down stops. Stopping drives and not giving up points are the main goals of any defense.

I don't like that they have given up late TD's in both games. Step on their neck and don't get off until the game ends.

At this point, why not try Taco out?

ALthough I suspect they think with Quinn coming back this week, things will change.
