Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald recently said it was foolish for anyone to write off Dion Jordan as a bust. That just proves how foolish Beasley is. Friday night, Dion Jordan played against the Falcons’ third- and fourth-string wannabe bench-warmers, and he didn’t make a single play. He couldn’t beat guys who were just picked up aRead More →
We at Dolphins Truth try to remain positive. We try not to rain on everyone’s parade. We’re happy with great plays and even more happy with victories. But sometimes, even positive outcomes need to be scrutinized. Last year, for example, while everyone was celebrating how great Miami was because we had just defeated the mighty Steelers, we at Dolphins Truth were the only ones whoRead More →
The D couldn’t stop the pass or the run or short-yardage plays or avoid penalties. Can’t think of a single stop or good play, and Atlanta moved the ball at will.Read More →
Well done, offense!! This preseason begins 500 times better than last.Read More →
For the second time this summer, a Dolphin has been suspended because they don’t know what they are putting into their own bodies. Reshad Jones and Dion Jordan are both out 4 games each because they took banned substances. There is a question about if they did this knowingly. Did they take a banned substance knowingly and hope to avoid getting caught? Or did they truly not know what was in theirRead More →
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 →
