  3. Winning and Success comes through hard work and dedication- The dolphins are soft just like their head coach- I’m old enough to remember that Shula’s training camp was brutal- but look at the results. In the army we say Familiarity breeds Contempt- (between players and coach)

  6. How many games have we’ve seen the fins be undisciplined and unprepared- This is on the Coach- Time for a Change- Does anyone know Vrabel’s contact number – contact Louis Riddick too

  9. Between Kyle and Dougliedowrong they are the only 2 I listen to for Dolphins news. Everyone else is just noise and repeating main sports shows talking points.
    That said, I don't think anything begins to change for us until Grier is gone. Let a new GM (from outside the origination) make a judgment call on McDaniel. Start from there, otherwise we will continue with how things have been going for the last 15ish years or more.

  10. Thanks Kyle. Just. Thanks. Look I've been watching this game for 50 yrs and I've seen a LOT of things a lot of changes a lot of gimmicks that work for a bit and what simply works is strength and play in the trenches smart QB play with accurate passing abiility and a quick release, a combo of receivers speed and height with superior catchability and range along with quick feet. Ill stop there and not go too indepth because eyes start crossing and you lose your reader. I like old fashioned smash mouth in the trenches. I watched the Eagles vs Ravens and found myself being drawn in and strarting to look for one sid to root for. THAT is the football I like. The Eagles o line is elite and that's is how I'd start, then emulate the best Dline in the game and then add "skill" player pieces to compliment the locker room. Playing as a team is a lost art. You know what I'll step away from the mic and listen to the discourse. I'm not a pro but I've seen what works and what doesn't work in this game and I have a LARGE sample size. 🙂 Thank again Kyle keep on keepin on.

  11. I'm with you Kyle, dealing with fellow fans has become just as bitter as watching the horrible losses. It's been this way since we drafted tua, at least.

    Personally, I'm hoping for a calculated move next. I don't want to watch this team go through a full on rebuild right now. I believe they are still too close for giving up and throwing it all out. I just wish there was a viable way to remove Grier and keep McDaniel for a final "prove it" year. Fix the oline and see what this team can be when it wins in the trenches. If we still see the same undisciplined play from players and naive play calling from Mike at that point… even an in season coaching change would be justified.

    I just can't help but think mike calls EVERYTHING based on trying to hide the faults of the line, rather than trying to just win the down.

  12. Kyle, I think it's just that Griear is a useless judge of talent, and Ross will not fire this guy…So we are doomed to fail as long as Ross keeps him…. The problem is Ross has no sense or ability to hire a capable person to run this team. How much different would this team look if they had taken the low-hanging fruit and hired Dan Campbell in 2010?

  13. Yea bro the team mediocre as fuck for the last 30 years what do expect the fan base to be? Happy? No fool we want to win. Why you getting so butt hurt and personal. This is literally your job

  15. It’s time to get a experienced head coach. That it knowledgeable in both sides of the ball.

    They need a real Leader.

    And with that will bring a new Quaterback. With a lot a money to be eaten. Kinda like Denver Is doing now.

  17. Kyle, I first watched you on the Locked On Packers crossover episode ahead of the game. I really appreciate the approach you take on your show. It's honest and absent of hyperbole. I was so impressed I came here to see your last two episode after the game as I know you'll give a straightforward accounting. I'm sure it's frustrating, but the silver lining is you've convinced a diehard Packers fan that the locked On podcasts are a true gem amongst fool's gold (especially yours!). Keep up the good work!

  18. Kyle, enjoy your show. If I'm Ross, it's really a single question to his executive team. Can this roster and coaching staff beat Buffalo and win the division? Then, do we have a team built for December/January? Do we have a QB, like Josh, Pat, Joe, Lamar etc that can put a team on his back if need be in crucial games?

    The answer is No. And if he hears wafflings of yes, he should seek outside counsel from respected individuals.

    Gut feel: We finish 7-10. Ross fires entire front office. He brings in a tough nose GM and Coach. I do see Tua, Reek, Ramsey Holland, Chubb playing elsewhere next year. I think a "Dan Campbell" style coach is what Ross wants and needs. Getting a first rounder or two could launch our rebuild.

    Lastly, I can't help but think Tua and Mike should go. They are now tied to the hip. Get Tua indoors. Gayle Benson and her Saints might be a perfect destination for Mike and Tua. Both under contract to Miami. Carr could be a nice bridge qb in Miami. I know it sounds crazy, but if Ross is saying I can't win it all with this roster, GM, and coach, let's get something for the future.
