Adam Gase Gives The Dolphins Their Dignity
This was a little story that flew under the radar this past week. Laremy Tunsil, he of the gas mask bong NFL draft drop, slipped in the shower and hurt his ankle. Classic. He joins a long line of NFL players who suffered embarrassing freak injuries. But really, it’s not that he slipped in the shower that’s the embarrassing part, it’s that he plays for the Miami Dolphins. ZING
I know a few weeks ago I commented that the Bears have become the most irrelevant bad team in the NFL, and I still stand by that. But there is one team that gives them a run for their money, and it’s the Dolphins. The Dolphins are hot garbage and no one cares about them either. They shouldn’t be so ignored. They have a new head coach in Adam Gase (Who I think was a smart hire). They have Suh and Mario Williams. Jarvis Landry. Tunsil was a big deal for a bit. But they just flat out suck, and everyone is basically like “yeah, we know, tell me more about Carson Wentz and things that I actually like”. How the mighty has fallen.
I, for one, am under the opinion that Ryan Tannehill is indeed a bum (And totes a never-nude) and the Phins gotta move on. The experiment is over. The results are inconclusive. Defenders of Tannys have dwindled, but a few stick around, clutching that Offensive line excuse till their hands bleed. It’s true, the Dolphins O-line is real bad. But at this point what does it matter. Tannehill has enjoyed several different coaches, schemes, weapons. It’s time to let him walk, let him Josh McCown his way around the league and end up on the Browns hydra in a few seasons. This is a real shit team he’s on, and if they are going to rebuild, maybe try something new.
I don’t really know what else to say. The Dolphins are bad. They’ve won a single game and it was because the Browns went full Browns. Hope you enjoyed all the butts.
Sunday edit: and the Dolphins beat the Steelers hahaha what the hell
that’s a lot of ass man
Or a lot of man ass
Tannehill is turning into Chad Henne before our very eyes. Can’t help but think that we’ll go for someone like Teddy Bridgewater in the offseason – if not before. Just please, PLEASE, not f**king Cutler.
Cutler was actually good under Gase. That’s probably the most likely place for him next season. He’ll probably a bridge for the next qb.
I’ve always defended Ryan Tannehill. And I still think that he could have been something good, if he had any kind of decent protection. I am inclined to agree with you, though. The phins should probably move on.
If I was clever, I’d slip in a ‘practice squad money’ joke here, but alas.
As a Pat’s fan, I believe that the Dolphins have found a franchise qb in Tannehill.
Go Steelers!
Also Go Indians! Magic Number is 7!
This is definitely one of your funniest comics Dave
Since I live in southern Florida, I’ve caught the Miami games, and im inclined to disagree. We see the career renaissance of Sam Bradford in Minnesota with a good team around him. I think the O-line of the dolphins have significantly stunted Ryan’s growth. I think the Dolphins need to pull a Cowboys and go after O-Lineman in the draft.
Is Tom Brady isn’t the GOAT the new Sexy Rexy?
Yup, despite the fact that BRADY HASN’T LOST A HOME GAME TO A CONFERENCE OPPONENT IN 10 YEARS.
I think you and him are just going to have to agree to disagree.
Never nudes unite!
Why is the white dude wearing shorts in the shower? Is he bashful? Embarrassed by his tiny wiener? White privilege?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Shower shorts. For the man with nothing to hide, but still wants to.
Watch Arrested Development.
I always suspected Tannehill was a never-nude.
Tannihill. Needs to go he’s gun shy said that a few years ago still waiting for them to hire me
Dave, I’m curious on your take on OBJ’s “antics”. I think it’s really stupid and Eli’s the problem, not OBJ. What do you think?
OBJ is Dez Bryant. He wears his emotions on his sleeve which tends to cause blowback when things aren’t going well, which they aren’t right now.
Eli isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom. He has zero trust in his O-line because Ereck Flowers and Marshall Newhouse are 3rd string level tackles playing as the starters and Eli can’t complete a 3 step drop without being pressured, so he’s panicking and dumping the ball off and making mistimed throws. It’s hard to get the ball to your WRs when you have to bail before they even get to develop their routes. We need better tackles and a TE and RB that can pass block more than anything else and maybe some playcalling that can take advantage of this problem better, like screens.
Yeah, this sorta goes back to why I think Reese should’ve been canned, instead of Coughlin. I don’t know the the Mara’s were thinking. Reese hasn’t put talent on that team, especially defensively for the past couple years. Eli Apple’s looked decent, but other than that, it’s been pretty horrendous, which is why they went all out in free agency to rebuild.
But I thought that in TDP world, players wear their uniforms everywhere at all times.
Christ, even the comments aren’t the Phins (well, a few are.)
Being a DolPhan is hard.
Tannehill has value because he’s probably the only QB who won’t die behind our dreadful OL. There were a few times last week where I had to rewatch the play to make sure the Titans’ defender wasn’t offside – there was no other way, in my mind, that a defender could reach the QB that fast. Turns out our OL just sucks.
I mean, look at this: https://twitter.com/Cianaf/status/785475780914581504
Or this: https://twitter.com/Cianaf/status/785493492764184578
I could post even more examples from Sunday’s game, but it saddens me to rewatch them.
Sunday’s game was some of the worst OL play I’ve ever seen.
I personally think the dolphins are the worst team in the nfl. The bears are at least making progress, the browns could easily have 4 wins if they weren’t brownsing it up.
Looks like his little pep talk worked.
You hid “TOM BRADY ISN’T THE GOAT” in the comic. It is the new sexy rexy, yay.
i wonder how sexy rexy’s doing these days
Funny how the Fins crushed the Steelers
You say the oline is a crutch but this was only the 8th time in 3 years his starting line started and ended a game (Albert, Pouncey, James). And the team is 7-1 in those games (losing only to Rodgers in 2014). Tunsil has also not allowed a single sack and has only given up 3 qb hurries as a LG. The Phins up to this game only ran for 362 yards in 5 games yet today with their starting oline rushed for 222? Say what you want about tannehill, but he averaged 2 seconds until pressure vs Tenn often getting hit as he released The ball at 1.8 seconds. This abysmal showing got 2 of the starting olinemen for that game fired.
Not even the first time you’ve jinxed what should have been a blowout. I’m going to start using you to bet.
Yeah, we suck
Then we went 10-6. Bless you Dave
Thanks for getting us our dignity back, Dave
Lmao they made the playoffs after this
