In an excellent move, the Dolphins re-signed center Samson Satele, a much-needed improvement and a much-better option than Joe Philbin’s recent philosophy of “Let’s take a guy who never played center in his life and make him our starting center.” First thing we point out is that Satele was alwaysRead More →
By all accounts, the Dolphins offense, especially its new offensive line, is not doing well at camp. There’s no reason to panic, as time can sort out a lot of the issues we’ve all been hearing about. The one thing that is scary and concerns us is thatRead More →
It’s time for Joe Philbin to prove us wrong. Regular Dolphins Truth reader Mike recently commented about how much he dislikes Philbin, and I really want to defend Philbin, but I cannot. Mike is right. Philbin has accomplished absolutely nothing, and ifRead More →
Each year, we at Dolphins Truth pick a game that will be the most telling game of the year. Not necessarily the most important game of the year, but the game that tells us the most about our team. Last year, we picked the Baltimore game. The Ravens were the defending champions, and how Miami did vs. the Ravens would indicate if we had a chance to make it into the playoffs. We lost. BUT…it was a close game. Read More →
In what has become another embarrassment, Dion Jordan has been suspended by the NFL for a violation of the league’s policy on prohibited substances. It wasn’t bad enough when the Dolphins made Jordan theRead More →
Offseason Update It looks like Dolphins Center Mike Pouncey could miss the entire first month of the season with a hip injury, according to several sources. That is bad news by itself. But the news couldRead More →
A few thoughts about the past few weeks of Dolphins training camp… We got a lot of emails asking about Bill Lazor’s new offense, and unfortuately, we know just as much as you do. We can predict, however, with near certainty, that the offense will be better. How can it be worse? There has never been a lowerRead More →
Every year, we hear comments about the starting time of Dolphins home games being at either 1 pm or 4 pm. The Dolphins train in the heat so it’s to our advantage to play in the heat and wither the opponent. But is it hotter at 1 pm start times, or is it hotter at 4 pm? I mean, if we want to take advantage of the opponent melting in the heat, what time start is better, 1 or 4? What do you guys think?Read More →
The countdown has begun. Soon, hopefully, the Dolphins will be rid of Michael Egnew, one of the most disappointing draft picks in recent memory. Read More →
Ask any Dolfan this question about the 2018 Super Bowl LII: Would you prefer to see the Dolphins play in 2018 Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, or would you rather see the Patriots play Super Bowl LII in Miami? The answer is obvious: Dolfans do not care where the game is played. We do care about ourRead More →
There are several factors to consider when grading the Dolphins recent draft. The “experts” have given us a grade of a B or B- in most estimates. Dolphins fans in some surveys gave us a C. We at Dolphins Truth feel that a B is a fair grade. Let’s take a brief look at each player: Ja’Wuan James in the first round is a good, safe pick. We need linemen, Desperately. Some fans yelled and whined that we could have traded down and drafted James later. Perhaps. Maybe. Or another team might have grabbed James, leaving us withRead More →
All things considered, the Dolphins made a great choice in picking lineman Ja’Wuan James. There were two prevailing theories out there, both incorrect, about what the Dolphins should have done when their turn fell at #19. One incorrect notion is that we should have traded down. “They” say James would still be available later in the draft, and we could have gotten another pick for our 19. James MIGHT have been available later, but there would be no guarantee. We desperately need O-linemen because Jonathan Martin ran away and because the Dolphins kicked Richie Incognito off the team forRead More →
One of the most unsung heroes in the history of sports has passed away. Earl Morrall, who stepped in at QB in 1972 and won the majority of the games in the Dolphins’ perfect season, has passed away. Morrall seems to never get his due, but his accomplishments in 1972 are staggeringly underrated, not to mention that he was the NFL MVP in 1968. When the Patriots went 18-1 a few years ago, imagine how bad they would have been if Tom Brady broke his ankle early in the season. When Michael Jordan left the Chicago Bulls, how many championships did they win with Michael’sRead More →
In the 1970s and 80s, it used to matter if your team got scheduled to play in a prime time game. But with the advent of cable tv, it’s not so important any more. For example, NBC now has the right to choose whatever game it wishes for its Sunday Night slot. So if you see that the Dolphins are scheduled to play on SNF in late December, take it with aRead More →
The Dolphins added a another key piece to the offensive line today by signing former Detroit Lion Jason Fox to a one-year deal. Fox can be a bruiser and a great blocker, but he’s had some injury issues. Still, despite the injuries, Fox is a great addition. Last we checked, he never quit the team because his friends teased him, so that makes him instantly better than a certain offensive tackle we had on the roster last year at this time…Read More →
Knowshon Moreno is a Dolphin. Dolphins Truth is confirming earlier reports from ESPN and other sources. We feel this is a good signing. While Moreno, Daniel Thomas, Lamar Miller and everyone else on the roster combined are still not as good as Reggie Bush and theRead More →
Each time we are close to ending and moving on from the “bullying” fiasco that enveloped much of the Dolphins’ 2013 season, a new wrinkle appears. This time, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is apparently ordering–yes, ordering–three grown men to undergo psychiatric evaluations. There is so much wrong with that; we don’t even know where to begin. The men in question areRead More →
