Miami Dolphins In Depth

  • Dolphins can't let Pats cramp their style

    This is a true story: In the hours before game time on Novemer 15, Dolphins cornerback Sean Smith was feeling a little weary. He didn't feel quite alert enough, quite energized enough to play an NFL football game -- particularly one at night against the Buffalo Bills.

    Smith needed a pick-me-up.

    The [...]

  • THE key to the game on Sunday 'no question'

    In this matchup between the Patriots and Dolphins there are two numbers that stand out that speak to the relative position -- the strengths and weaknesses, if you will -- each team is enjoying and suffering.

    Turnover margin.

    The Patriots are an astonishing plus-24 so far this season. That's the best in [...]

  • Some Dolphins think Pats just another team

    There seems to be an interesting debate among some Dolphins players as to what kind of team exactly they wil play Sunday when the New England Patriots come to town.

    The Patriots, you may know, have won three Super Bowls this millineum while playing in the game another two times. They're [...]

  • Babin doesn't make sense in Miami but don't discount the notion

    [UPDATE: The Dolphins were reportedly one of eight teams to put in a waiver claim for Jason Babin. This obviously speaks to the idea discussed below that the team wants pass-rush help opposite Cameron Wake. Babin goes to Jacksonville and will face the Dolphins Dec. 16]

    [UPDATE 2: Now we learn [...]

  • Patriots can sometimes erase homefield advantage

    The stands will be filled at Sun Life Stadium Sunday for the first time in long time. The game is sold out. And barring a late wave of no-shows, the Dolphins are expecting up to 71,000 people in the seats.

    Yep, New England at Miami is a big deal down here.

    Unfortunately for [...]

  • Patriots worry both Dolphins defense and offense

    The Dolphins this year have enjoyed a favorable schedule just as they did in 2008. In fact, they are playing the NFC West again this year as they did that year. So be thankful for that.

    But, alas, even in a season when the opposition is not the toughest week in and [...]

  • Comeback accomplished, so what's the next step for Tannehill?

    I told you earlier that Ryan Tannehill took a step in his development on Sunday by rallying his team and helping to deliver a come-from-behind victory. Great quarterbacks must be able to do that, among other things.

    But I stress that feat is only a step.

    And there are other steps. [...]

  • Jonathan Amaya in jail at this hour

    Jonathan Amaya is fortunate Dolphins players didn't have to report to the team's training facility today because he was busy -- in jail.

    Amaya, a special teams player who also plays safety, was arrested for battery early Monday after he tried to choke a taxi driver, according to Miami Beach police records. [...]

  • Tannehill comeback rally a necessary part of QB growth

    In the big picture, the Dolphins on Sunday showed they are truly a resilient bunch in answering the challenge of breaking a losing skid rather than letting it break them, of beating a pretty good team,and  of doing it in comeback fashion.

    For the team this was a great way [...]

  • Dolphins beat Seahawks 24-21 in final seconds

    Call it a comeback.

    The Dolphins were down twice in the fourth quarter -- once at 14-7 and then at 21-14 -- but fought back each time and just battled through a victory.

    Dolphins 24. Seahawks 21.

    The game was a coming of age moment for Ryan Tannehill. He authored a seven-play, 65-yard [...]
