"Tannehill era begins" Official 2012-2013 Dolphins Season Thread

[Da_Eggman]

Dee Milliner is so so

Justin Hunter or Keenan Allen are both big targets neither look like stars thou

 

[Maschine_Man]

wtf tanny?
really?

 

[SoulController]

if we pick in the late teens or 20's id have no problem with Miliner, he reminds me of Kareem Jackson who is starting to ball for the Texans

only 1 sack allowed today, Long is getting healthy and the interior was shoving dudes around. Pouncey made an incredible block on Bush's TD, Richie I contiunes to be solid have to extend him

he'll never be a numbers guy and might not live up to #1 pick status, but Jared Odrick can play the damn run. him and Big Paul played well today

Tannehill was money in the 4th, good win

 

[Maschine_Man]

Tannehill impressed me today.
Couple stupid throws(one he got bailed out on, but I'll take it)

but the fourth especially the final drive I was really impressed.
He's a work in progress, but definitely showing he can play in the league.

He also needs to make more runs like he did today. HE needs to keep the defense honest and crowding the line. Cuz thats how he gets swatted. If they are worried about his running then they will have to play off a bit more.

 

[SoulController]

he is shockingly agile for being 6'6

dude can move, that was the only play available and he took it a good 15-17 yards. Daniel Thomas has been better as of late, Clay is a useful guy in his hybrid role

 

[Da_Eggman]

they need to have more plays for Clay his a great mismatch out there

South Florida has already been host to 10 Super Bowls, the most of any city in the NFL, and the Dolphins badly want to land Super Bowl 50, scheduled for February 2016.

The Dolphins are competing against just one other city for the game, but it is a daunting opponent – San Francisco, which hosted the game just once (1985) but has a brand new $1 billion stadium on the way, loaded with high-tech gadgets and other conveniences to enhance the fan experience. The game will be awarded next May, and the Dolphins are working feverishly on putting their Super Bowl plan together.

“You picture what our opponents may do, being in the technology hub of the United States,” Dolphins CEO Mike Dee said Wednesday. “We can’t treat it like any other Super Bowl, nor is it a right that we have to expect that we’re going to get it. We’ve got to have a game plan to commemorate this Super Bowl in a way that other bids haven’t included.”

But Dee said that Sun Life Stadium, built in 1987 and the oldest non-renovated stadium in the Super Bowl rotation, won’t suffice for much longer without significant upgrades – both for major events or for the Dolphins and Hurricanes, who play there regularly. Seventeen new stadiums have been built in the last 15 years, with new ones in San Francisco, Minnesota and Los Angeles on the way, and Super Bowls are now being awarded to non-traditional sites like Indianapolis and New York. College football’s championship game is also moving to a bid process.

“We’ve got a 25-year-old facility, and it clearly needs some tender loving care,” Dee said. “This facility, in its current form, is not going to serve the anchor tenants for the long-term. We’re going to be in a competitive environment with a lot of facilities that have been built in the last 10 years. Clearly, it’s something that’s going to have to be addressed at some point.”

Among the upgrades being discussed:

* Building a canopy over the seating bowl to protect fans from the sun and rain.

* Moving the seats closer to the field and improving sightlines now that the Marlins no longer are tenants.

* Installing high-definition lights for high-def TV broadcasts

* Updating the scoreboard system, which is now 10 years old.

“The reality is that most stadiums are either retractable or covered,” he said. “That’s just something that I think will put us in a much better position to not only compete for major events, but would put us in a much better position for fans who use the stadium on a regular basis, and have an environment that is protected for sun, wind and rain.”

But Dee said “it’s too early to tell” whether the Dolphins will aggressively pursue public funding for stadium upgrades or pay for them privately. The latest actions of the Marlins, who received $600 million in public funds for a new stadium but then traded away most of their high-priced players last week, likely won’t help the Dolphins get public funding.

“We’ve got to have a plan and we’ve got to have dialogue with the community to see if there’s an appetite for that (public money),” Dee said. “We’re going to put this (Super Bowl) bid in with the best stadium we can. If that means the stadium in its current form, so be it, but we’ve got more work to do on that front.”

One improvement to Sun Life Stadium that is already close to completion is the installation of high-density wireless internet throughout the stadium and parking lots, courtesy of AT&T. The stadium’s current wireless capabilities can’t handle 60,000-plus fans all using their cell phones and other wireless devices, but the Dolphins are currently installing the new wifi system, and hope to have it operable by the Dec. 16 home game against the Jaguars. It is unlikely that the Dolphins will have it ready by the Dec. 2 home game against New England.

Miami Dolphins CEO Mike Dee: Sun Life Stadium needs significant improvements, with or without public funding | The Daily Dolphin

Good luck with that public funding brehs. They might as well get a loan from the Marlins with all the money they'll be caking next years.

Can Dolphins make the postseason?

Q: The Miami Dolphins are a team I can't figure out. Do you think they have a chance at the playoffs? Or is the most important thing from this season that Ryan Tannehill looks like a franchise quarterback?

-- Sara (Ohio)


A: They must continue growing Tannehill, Sara. It's critical to the success of the franchise. And yes, Miami still is chasing a wild-card spot, but I don't think most people expect that the Dolphins will be able to capture it. They've been too inconsistent throughout this season to expect to go to the postseason. But they have shown signs of being a markedly improved football team with the chance to go to the playoffs in future seasons.
