Deciding who to root for in a Jets-Bills game is like deciding what poison you want to drink. Let’s just root for some injuries. For anyone interested, we’ll have a new Chat Room up during game days starting Sunday around 12:45 EST, if all goes well.  Always cool to chat live with our fellow Dolfans.Read More →

Adam Gase had his first post-game press conference today, and there were some interesting highlights. First of all, he is mad at himself, and that’s a good thing.   He has to learn from his mistakes, and getting mad at himself will do the trick. He was talking about Tannehill’s touchdown drive…and why it took the Dolphins so long to score.  “I was mad at myself because I should have went to what we ended up going to earlier in the game. I kept talking myself out of it. He (Ryan T) kept pressing me to get to that stuff, basically that drive that setRead More →

  A.   Cut him for costing us the game by dropping an easy touchdown. B.  Cut him for disrespecting the country that gave him the chance to become a multi-millionaire. C.   Cut him for committing a holding penalty on our very first play of the year. D.  Cut him for getting in Jarvis Landry’s way on 3 different plays when Landry was trying to run. E.  Trade him to New England forRead More →

Kenny Stills dropped the easiest, sure-thing touchdown pass in NFL history, which cost the Dolphins 7 valuable points and all the momentum in the world as the Dolphins went on to drop a tough one in Seattle, 12-10. Stills began the day by refusing to stand for the National Anthems. On his first play he committed a hold. Andrew Franks missed a short field goal that didn’t help momentum either.   Technically it was blocked, and the announcers pointed out that Laremy Tunsil was lined up wrong.  I see their point, so it’s hard to figure out who to blame, so I go with DarrenRead More →

No other explanation for how Stills is handing a free win to the Seahawks.  He must have bet money on Seattle. Even before he dropped the easiest catch in NFL history, he got in Jarvis Landry’s way on THREE different WR screen catches to Landry.   And on the first play of our NFL season, he held a guy. Not to mention the way he spat on our country by not standing for the National Anthem.   I hope we have the phone number for Griff Whalen’s agent.Read More →

It appears that Jay Ajayi has quit the Miami Dolphins.  Or, at least, he has quit on the Miami Dolphins. Numerous reports have surfaced to indicate that Gase has benched Ajayi for our season opener Sunday.  In fact, Ajayi was told to stay home.    He is not in Seattle.  Sources seem to indicate that Ajayi and Gase had words over Gase’s decision to move Ajayi to the second string.   Team sources said Ajayi sulked all week and was extremely upset. As many of you know, Dolphins Truth has been a strong supporter of Ajayi, but we can no longer do so. First ofRead More →

Not sure if it’s good news or bad news, but Dawn Aponte is leaving the Dolphins. She will, however, still be on Stephen Ross’s payroll, as she transitions into his real estate companies. Over the years, I’ve asked hundreds and hundreds of fans of all NFL a funny question.   I always ask them if they know the person in charge of their team’s finances.  They usually answer with the owner’s name.   No, I say, I mean the actual employee who does the paper work.   No one ever knows. Except Dolfans.   For some reason, Aponte’s name has been in the news theRead More →

There were a few questionable moves as the Dolphins cut down to 53, but there were no great shocks. For Dolphins Truth, the biggest disappointment was that Damien Williams made the team.  He’s had 3 years to prove himself, and for 3 years he’s done nothing.   He drops passes, gains a yard or two at a time, and misses assignments. And let’s never forget the time he fielded a kickoff, dropped it in the end zone, ran out of the end zone, ran back into the end zone, and dove back out…all so the Dolphins cold start a drive on their one-yard line andRead More →

Is anyone at the game or knows someone there?  Please send in your comments about the new stadium, seating, awning, scoreboard, food, Zika…anything.  Very curious about the atmosphere there.   Jay Ajayi just fumbled away his starting job.   Congratulations to Arian Foster. Why not have some fun from our own 45 and go for it on 4th?   Does our punter really need that much more practice than our backup linemen? Xavien Howard just got neat for a first down.     Good thing he is finally back form injury and ready to stop passes, right?! Tony Lippett, on the bubble and fighting forRead More →

Like many of you, we at Dolphins Truth were hesitant at first when the Dolphins hired Adam Gase.  He was not on our radar for head coach, and we definitely wanted to hire a coach with experience and a championship under his belt. And while he’s still never coached his first game yet, we’re seeing things in him that are starting to win us over and give us a little confidence. First of all, his youth and modern thinking could be an asset.  There was a time in the NFL when the shotgun formation was a new marvel.  When a cover-2 D or a zone blitz were innovative. Read More →

UPDATE:    So the non-football injury list is a reserve list, meaning that Jordan and Vigil are not eligible to play until Week 7.    It looks like Vigil has a back injury, and Jordan has numerous injuries, including judgment, maturity, etc.    I’m not sure how the Dolphins are able to call these non-physical injuries, but it has to do with wanting to keep them on the roster without wanted to I.R. them for the entire season.    The Dion Jordan saga continues… Projected starters Kenny Still, DeVante Parker, and Laremy Tunsil were all injured at practice Monday, but as of now, the injuries areRead More →

Mark your calendars for November 27.    That’s the date when ungrateful spoiled punk Colin Kaepernick comes to town.  I suggest us fans all give him a warm Miami welcome. But  I hope the Dolphins defense welcomes him even more. I think pounding his head into the turf a few times would be a warm welcome, don’t ya think?  That would definitely be worth a 15-yard penalty.  Or two. And then, if he’s dumb enough to get back up, then we can see how strong his oppressed knees are. That being said, I doubt Kaepernick will be healthy come November 27.   Too many other teamsRead More →

While the Dolphins writers and less-educated fans are raving about how great our offense looked in the third preseason game against Atlanta, Dolphins Truth readers have come to expect a little more.  Our readers expect honest analysis. That’s why I hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but the offense didn’t do as well as some writers want us to believe.   The only stat that matters is Points.   And our starting offense scored only 7 points against a horrible Atlanta defense, a defense which began resting its starters while our first-team O was still out there. When you score only 7 points in a half, it’sRead More →

Starting center Mike Pouncey is expected to miss at least the opening game against the Seahawks, further exposing the Dolphins offensive line inadequacies and testing its depth right off the bat. This means that the Seahawks might beat us 50-10 instead of only 40-14.  Either way, we’re gonna get destroyed, but without Pouncey it will be worse. The Dallas preseason game was worse that it looked, with a lot of false hope because our offense scored 2 touchdowns.    Whoop di doo. You have to remember that they had 4 drives.  Only the first drive was against the Cowboys’ full lineup of starters.   AgainstRead More →

The offensive line looked like garbage on Friday night, but Dolphins management addressed that issue by…letting us pay for parking in a new way, If the Dolphins spent more time worrying about the players on the field and less time worrying  about a stadium that will be mostly empty on Sundays, we might have a chance. How about this:   no stadium upgrades or parking lot news until we’re on our way to being a winner. THEN is the time to worry about minutia.  Not before.  We haven’t fielded aRead More →

While every other Dolphins article this weekend is telling fans not to panic, and telling us that it was only a pres-season game, and telling us that you cannot judge an offense by a few plays….while everyone else is saying all that…I will tell you they are wrong.  It IS time to panic. It cannot and will not get any better.   We saw our 5 best O-linemen out there Friday, and you saw what happened. The offense is abysmal.  Time to start looking at the 2017 draft class, because we are closer to the #1 overall pick than we are to a playoff spot.Read More →

Not sure if it’s good news or bad news, but he’s back. The NFL thumbed its noce at the Dolphins and Stephen Ross by waiting until the last possible day to announce this.   Literally, the NFL made us go through the draft, and free agency, and the beginning of camp today, before finally letting us know.   Thanks a lot. Anyway, I am curious to know your guys’ opinions on Dion the potential player, Dion the person (the drug use; apparently is was ecstasy and not steroids), and how he should be handled in games.  Or cut? Let us know…Read More →
