I mean it's the 49'ers but he did run for 113 yards I think.
4.0 ypc in a game where the defense couldnt tackle a paper bag.

Not impressed. For all the hype Gurley is wildly disappointing, and he cant blame a completely terrible team around him anymore. Goff is playing like an NFL QB and the line is much improved. WRs are night and day different.

Yeah I guess I see your point. I'm a Giants fan so I'd pay to see 4YPC.
 
3 first round defensive linemen and we didn't get a sack for the second game already :mad:
I think Armstead is a can.

Buckner is a beast and hell get loose at some point.

Thomas doesnt have the moves for the edge. I like him more inside.

Need to scheme more to their strengths imo.

Pretty much my thoughts, I actually told a friend today "I hope Arik Armstead misses a bunch of time, Thomas is an interior pass rusher and they are misplaying him on the edge because Arik gets the second DT spot".
Honestly Aaron Lynch is the best edge rusher, he should be in at leo on nickel, Thomas in Armatead's spot, Arik next to the waterboy
 
Miami Dolphins: Jay Cutler does things ‘you can’t teach.’


"There is a play Jay Cutler made in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win at the Los Angeles Chargers that my colleague thinks I’m a bit obsessed about. So I decided to ask the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator, Clyde Christensen, about it before it got too late and we were on to the Jets. OK, to be honest, nobody in Miami’s locker room has really answered any questions about the Jets yet."

A breakdown of this play let the first 2017 edition of The Tape Don’t Lie.

Here’s a portion of The Daily Dolphin breakdown:

“The most interesting offensive play in Miami’s 19-17 win at the Los Angeles Chargers came in the fourth quarter, with the Dolphins trailing 17-13. This was a play that showed what Cutler, at 34, can do to buy extra opportunities for his receivers and how he can capitalize with just a tiny bit of time and space. Cutler rolled to his right to move the pocket, approached the line of scrimmage but then in the face of a pass-rusher, stopped dead in his tracks. Cutler then backed up three yards and while moving backwards, off-balance, flicked a pass to Parker, who ended up one yard ahead of a defensive back who was literally draping him.”

Another part of the play that intrigued me was that Cutler threw the ball while in a totally-less-than-ideal throwing position. You can see that here:



It seems we should expect more of this type of thing from Cutler. He doesn’t need to be in an ideal throwing position to make a play work. And as long as it works (it didn’t always in Chicago) he’s going to lauded for it, not criticized.

Here is what Miami’s offensive coordinator, Christensen, said about the play on Thursday:

““I would say his rhythmic throws are non-conventional. He kind of has an ability to throw the ball with his feet in a lot of different positions, which is a plus. That play falls in the category of ‘you don’t teach that.’ We do drill a lot of stuff, but that’s one of those that you just have a knack and he threw that thing really early. In fact, he let it go and it was one of those where the coaches are going ‘Oh, no. Oh, yes!’ DeVante (Parker) made a heck of a catch on that ball, over the top of him; but that was an anticipation throw. When he lets that ball go, there’s really no one open and (Parker) is a long ways from coming open. I think that was special. That was a huge, huge play in the thing. A big play – big catch, big throw.”

Cutler’s ability to buy time in the pocket, maneuver around and buy extra time for everyone has exceeded the expectations of Cutler’s teammates and coaches.

“He’s always had a knack for doing that; but it has surprised me how natural it is,” Christensen said. “It has surprised me just that he’s really good at it. I thought he did a really good job. He didn’t put the ball up. He took calculated chances. He wasn’t careless with the football. If you can calculate your shots – he gave DeVante (Parker) a couple of jump balls and 50/50 balls, which were great. We want those. He really did a great job of managing it. On the play to Kenny (Stills), he bought the time and that was huge. I think he is … I’ve said that. He’s just kind of natural.”

Cutler’s first performance as a Dolphin really created some encouragement and excitement.

“He has a great feel and you do forget he is a veteran,” Christensen said. “He’s played an awful lot of football games; but that’s not a taught behavior. He just kind of moves around and kind of knows where people are coming from and he does have a great knack. That’s going to be great with our Big 3 receivers. Those guys can run and jump and I can see more of the same where we’re going to get a couple of those balls downfield and we have a chance.”

I never agree with Cowturd, but I have to say he's right on the money here.

- There is one NFL team that I think is massively underrated. And I just want to go a couple of minutes on this. This is not breaking news. But I am listening to all these shows talk about football. I don't think anybody understands how good Miami is. I think the Dolphins are really good. First of all, Jay Cutler is a perfect fit. Second of all, they have one of the top five running backs. Third, they have one of the best pass rushers. They have one of the best outside forces.


This DeVante Parker kid's a star. I think Adam Gase is one of these young, smart offensive guys like McVay and Kyle Shanahan. That's not a public name. I think this Adam Gase, I'm shocked. He's really good. By the way, he came in first year Tannehill, had his best year ever. This guy can coach. Jay Cutler's best year was Adam Gase. Tannehill's best year was Adam Gase. Figure it out. The guy can flat coach. That guy can flat coach.


And I looked at this division. The Bills have a defense and no offense. The Jets are tanking. And if you look at Miami's schedule-- put it up on the board-- most of their tough games are at home. They play Tennessee-- tough team-- at home. They play Oakland at home. They face Denver at home. That's-- they get some-- you know, those are three tough games. They get them at home. They also get the Jets twice. I watched that game against the Chargers.


I'm going to tell you something. Their offensive line's not ranked that high. Joy Bosa never got the Jay Cutler. I think their offensive line is better than everybody thinks. I think the Dolphins are the most underrated team in the league right now, and we only have one game on them. We haven't seen two games of film. So we're not really paying attention to them. Keep your eye on Miami."
 
Not reading what cowherd has to say.
 
After a game where they should have lost if the Chargers had a decent kicker? lmao
They were in control of that whole game Revo, and as a Bills fan you should know that kicking is important.

Control the whole game but were down at halftime and didn't take the lead until the fourth. lol

Every once in a while I find myself hate-watching Cowherd and I don't know why. Maybe because imagining punching him in the face is the closest I can get to watching porn at work.

This is how I feel when I accidentally read your posts.
 
Say what you will about the Rams offense, but they gave him a great weapon at WR and RB. He should get the time to grow he needs, and that defense has his back.

They got him a few glass receivers, a RB who blew his acl and a defense that just gave up 40 to Brian Hoyer. It's not as glamorous as you're making it sound lol.
