Overnight Thoughts - Week 1 Dolphins

[Hoopsdoc]

Goncalves is a road grader out there, or at least he was yesterday.

Tyler Warren needs to protect himself a little more. He seems to take big hits. Great great looking player though. Really exciting.

I thing McDaniels will be the first coach fired. That team is REALLY bad.

I thought Jones had a couple shaky moments but was outstanding overall. His performance, the way he ran the offense makes it clear why Steichen went with him. AR has never had, and probably never will have, control of an offense like that. I’ll need to see more than one game though.

It’s SO refreshing to have an attacking defense.

One difference is that, between Duke and the pro’s, Jones has been in 107 games vs Richardson’s 30’something.

This is AR’s 3rd year in this offense. Versus Jones in his 3rd month. There’s no excuse for Jones outplaying him so badly.

The he’s so young and inexperienced argument doesn’t fly with me anymore.

I fully expect Jones to revert to form at some point. That doesn’t negate the fact that he’s better than AR. That’s more of an indictment of AR than it is of Jones.

Jones is just making the layups. AR was doing it in camp as well, but maybe sitting and learning behind a veteran will benefit him, and he'll have all season and all of next offseason to refine his mechanics.

I agree with all of the points made in the above posts. A few things to add though.

Tyler Warren will be OROY.
Enough w/the stupid Danny Nickels shit.
Zaire may not even have 100 tackles this season and that's okay.
I'm getting slightly closer to getting off of JT's ass...He blocked, he caught and he ran well.
A little disappointed in the 4-man pass rush. We need to get more pressure, when only rushing 4.
My god, Lou Anarumo is a breath of fresh air!

I don't like anything about the Phins play, including Tua.

For me, this. Jones is what AR should have had year one. The team played like a professional team and Jones was a big part of that. He is a nice, hard working middle of the pack QB who works his ass off. Easy to root for and perfect right now but most likely not going to take us to promised land. Starting to see something to root for, hopefully.

Harbaugh?

That would be great. Not going that far quite yet. It was the first total game on offense and defense I can remember the Colts playing in years. That alone was huge. For one game actually looking like a well coached team was very nice.
