The 5 o’clock club aims to provide a forum for reader-driven discussion at a time of day when there isn’t much NFL news being published. Feel free to introduce topics that interest you in the comments below.What better way to celebrate the return of the 5 o’clock club than a prediction contest?We all know that the Redskins have a Week 4 bye in 2018 Womens Josh Doctson Jersey , meaning that — after just three games — we’ll have a weekend as September becomes October, with no Redskin football.Always one to be thinking ahead, I thought I’d set up a prediction contest now that will allow us to celebrate a winner in the bye week, despite not having a football game for our team to play in.The Pick-6 Prediction ContestIt’s a pretty simple contest.I’ll name 6 NFL teams, and you have to predict the record now that each of those teams will have after Week 3.There are, of course, only four possibilities: 0-3, 1-2, 2-1, 3-0.I’ll give you the schedule for the first three weeks; after considering all the variables, all you have to do is list the records you project for these six teams:EaglesCowboysGiantsBrownsVikingsPatriotsWhoever gets the most number correct (out of a possible 6) will be declared the winner.As a tie-breaker, each entry should predict the Redskins point differential (including + or -) over the first three weeks.I will give you my predictions for each of the six teams below.Let’s see if you can project the September win-loss record for these six squads with greater accuracy than I can.EaglesThe defending superbowl champs have questions at quarterback, at least to start the season.At left tackle, they have Peters returning from injury or Vaitai returning from a night in hell against Myles Garrett.Still, the team won the superbowl just about 8 months ago Authentic Matthew Ioannidis Jersey , and most of that roster is still in place.Wk 1 - Falcons - Bill’s prediction = home lossWk 2 - @Bucaneers - Bill’s prediction = road winWk 3 - Colts - Bill’s prediction = home winBill’s projection: 2-1CowboysThis is a remade offense, with no Dez and no Witten.Zeke’s suspension issue from 2017 is behind him, and Dak Prescott is in his 3rd season.The offensive line is likely to be underpowered in the first three weeks as Travis Frederick deals with an auto-immune issue that will take some time to overcome.Wk 1 - @Panthers - Bill’s prediction = road lossWk 2 - Giants - Bill’s prediction = home winWk 3 - @Seahawks - Bill’s prediction = road winBill’s projection: 2-1GiantsThe Giants have been renovating under Dave Gettleman. They’ve invested heavily in one side of the offensive line, but the other side is still a work in progress.They add Saquon Barkley, but that draft pick left them ‘all in’ on Eli Manning.The Giants last division title was the superbowl year of 2011; since then, they’ve won 42 regular season games, averaging exactly 7 wins per season.They started 0-4 last year before all the wide receiver injuries hit.Wk 1 - Jaguars - Bill’s prediction = home lossWk 2 - @Cowboys - Bill’s prediction = road lossWk 3 - @Texans - Bill’s prediction = road lossBill’s projection: 0-3BrownsIf you’ve watched Hard Knocks, you know more about the Browns than I can communicate in this short blurb.Normally, knowing that a team went 1-31 in the previous two seasons would tell you everything you need to know.The Browns, though, are absolutely loaded with young talent.I’ve heard at least two members of the Cowboy’s ‘dynasty’ teams compare the feeling in Browns camp to the Cowboys of the early 90s, coming off of the 1-15 season in 1989.Wk 1 - Steelers - Bill’s prediction = home winWk 2 - @Saints - Bill’s prediction = road lossWk 3 - Jets - Bill’s prediction = home winBill’s projection: 2-1VikingsGone are Case Keenum, Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater; the new guy is someone we are all familiar with.The Vikings play stifling defense, but — after surviving the New Orleans game due to a boneheaded mistake by the Saints safety — the Vikings got blown out in the NFC championship game.Teams tend to do one of two things the year after a playoff result like that: come back and win a superbowl or collapse in a heap.Wk 1 - 49ers - Bill’s prediction = home lossWk 2 - @Packers - Bill’s prediction = road lossWk 3 - Bills - Bill’s prediction = home winBill’s projection: 1-2PatriotsThere have been rumblings about the end of the dynasty.Of course, there are always rumblings about the end of the dynasty.Tom Brady is 41 years old.No player in the history of the NFL who started more than one game at that age has a winning record in those games.Can Brady beat history as well as Father Time?Wk 1 - Texans - Bill’s prediction = home lossWk 2 - @Jaguars - Bill’s prediction = road lossWk 3 - @Lions - Bill’s prediction = road winBill’s projection: 1-2Summarizing Bill’s projectionEagles 2-1Cowboys 2-1Giants 0-3Browns 2-1Vikings 1-2Patriots 1-2Bill’s tiebreaker: Redskins scoring differential: +12To enter the contest Cheap Jonathan Allen Jersey , simply copy & paste this entry into the comments, and then fill in your predicted records for the 6 teams, and add your projected Redskins point differential as the tiebreaker:Eagles Cowboys Giants Browns Vikings Patriots Redskins’ 3-game point differential (+/-):All entries must be submitted prior to 8pm ET on 6 September 2018.If you submit more than one entry, only the last entry will be counted.To amend an entry, just reply to yourself in the comments section with an updated prediction.The winner will be announced and widely celebrated in the 5 o’clock club during the Week 4 bye week.Who's coaching this team?: Redskins running backs coach Randy Jordan Name: Randy JordanTitle: Running Backs CoachExperience: 15 yearsBio: Randy Jordan has put together a nice decade-and-a-half in the NFL so far.First, he had a nine-year career as a running back with the Raiders and Jaguars.Once he played his final season in Oakland in 2002, he immediately joined the Raiders’ staff.He left after one year to coach in the college ranks.Jordan served as running backs coach at three high-profile programs over the next decade—Nebraska, Texas A&M, and his alma mater of North Carolina.He returned to the NFL in 2014, becoming the Redskins’ running backs coach.Jordan has helped shape the careers of several Washington RBs, most recently Chris Thompson, who emerged as a dangerous offensive weapon last season.Fun Fact: Jordan scored the very first touchdown in the history of the Jacksonville Jaguars franchise, a 71-yard reception against the Bengals on September 10, 1995.
Baltimore Ravens T-Shirt , Justin Tucker has earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Month. It comes as no surprise, as Tucker has been automatic through the first four weeks of the season. Tucker has connected on 9/10 field goals, with the lone miss coming on an illegal block against the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Given the blocked field goal was not his fault, Tucker has essentially hit 100% of his clean attempts this season. Three of his nine conversions came from 50+ yards, including a 55-yarder. Tucker also nailed all 12 of his extra point attempts. Since he entered the league in 2012, Tucker has yet to miss an extra point attempt. As is the case throughout his career, Tucker has been automatic this season. He currently ranks as the highest-graded kicker in the league, according to Pro Football Focus. Against the Steelers in Week 4, Tucker was vital in the team’s success. He accounted for 14 of the Ravens 26 total points, hitting four consecutive field goals in the second half. Tucker scored the final 12 points for Baltimore. Tucker remains a steadying force in a league full of kicking inconsistency. Many teams Baltimore Ravens Hats , namely the Cleveland Browns, have lost games this season in part due to missed field goals and extra points. Fortunately, the Ravens do not have this issue. In the NFC, New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz was also awarded special teams player of the month. Lutz hit 10/11 field goal attempts and was briefly a member of the Ravens in 2016. With his ability to kick accurately from any distance, Tucker is a serious weapon. It would not be surprising if he earns multiple player of the month honors this season. With the early portion of the season in the rear view, teams are beginning to develop into contenders, pretenders and bottom feeders. All year, the Baltimore Beatdown crew is competing to see who can choose the most matchups correctly. The strength of the crowd is clear, as Beatdown readers have moved up to second in the standings.

While Andrew Luck has exceeded expectations, Indianapolis is still a step behind. After defeating the Vikings in Week 3, Buffalo returned to their mediocrity, getting shut out 22-0 by the Packers in Week 4. Tennessee is on a three game win streak after defeating the Eagles in overtime. Those who doubted Miami’s hot start were validated by their definitive loss to New England. Meanwhile, Cincinnati has put up over 30 points in three of their four games.‘Lone wolf’ picksZach predicts the Redskins will beat the Saints on Monday Night Football (NO -6.5)Dustin thinks the Raiders will get their second win of the season against the Chargers (LAC -5.0)Logan believes the Seahawks will spoil the Rams undefeated campaign (LAR -7.0)With Washington fresh off their bye week and a big time win over Green Bay in Week 3, they have a chance to hand the Saints their second loss of the season. The Chargers will look to improve to 2-1 in the battle for California against an Oakland team that barely slipped past the Browns for their first victory in 2018. The Seahawks needed a late field goal to beat an Arizona team that is on the fast track to securing the number on overall pick in the 2019 draft. It is hard to envision their offensive line affording Russell Wilson the protection he will need to win a shoot out against Jared Goff and company. New and improved Browns?On paper, Cleveland is 1-2-1, but psychologically the Browns are miles away from their 2017 squad. Cleveland has forced overtime in two of their four games and trailed by just three points in both of their losses. Cleveland’s progress is reflected in the point spread for Sunday’s game.In Week 2 of 2017 Customized Baltimore Ravens Jerseys , the Ravens were 7.5 point favorites, defeating the Browns 24-10 at home. In Week 15, Baltimore was favored by 6.5 points on the road, this time winning 27-10. With Baltimore favored at -3.0 for Sunday, the margin is much slimmer compared to last season, and two Baltimore Beatdown contributors predict the Browns to derail the Ravens winning streak.

The Panthers will travel to Atlanta to face their division rivals Youth Luke Kuechly Jersey , the Falcons, this Sunday. Carolina is coming off an impressive 16-8 win over Dallas. The Cowboys challenged the Panthers offense, holding Cam Newton to a modest 161 yards in the air. However, Newton lead the team in rushing with 58 yards and a touchdown. Sunday’s win didn’t come without cost, though. The Panthers lost tight end Greg Olsen and right tackle Daryl Williams in their debut.Like the Panthers, the Falcons suffered two huge blows from their Thursday night loss against the Eagles. Their defense is now without two Pro Bowlers, safety Keanu Neal and middle linebacker Deion Jones. Even with the injury to Neal during the game, Atlanta’s defense still looked solid. On offense, Julio Jones was stellar against the defending Super Bowl champs despite Matt Ryan completing fewer than half of his passes. The Panthers are 1-3 against the Falcons over the last two seasons and are now six point underdogs against Atlanta. Here are three keys for Carolina’s offense to defeat the Falcons:Let Cam be Cam: Norv Turner likes the run-pass option. Against the Cowboys, Newton decided to use his legs. He broke out with some big runs that kept their defense off guard. Atlanta losing Neal means they won’t have their big hitter and run stuffer. With the Falcons now lacking in run support, Cam should continue to do his thing on the ground. Beat the Birds in the air: Losing Jones is also irreplaceable for the Falcons. He was a beast in coverage mode. Falcons head coach Dan Quinn will have to do a lot of shifting to fill the void of Jones and Neal. Although Panthers are reeling in their own loss of Olsen, there’s plenty of young talent able to step up. Sunday’s match-up will be a realistic opportunity to test out the fresh tight ends. Not to mention, Panthers still have one of the most versatile receiving corps in the league. Protect Newton: Carolina’s offensive line is a patchwork right now. Cowboys defense was able to sack Newton a total of three times. Dallas also pressured Newton on 43% of his drop backs.Atlanta might be feeling the heat of losing their two best defensive players http://www.panthersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-wes-horton-jersey , but they still have plenty of talent. Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett is a fine interior pass rusher who can put on the pressure and hit. Defensive end Vic Beasley was quiet in the season opener, but it’s only a matter of time until he gets back into rhythm, so don’t sleep on him. Similar to the Panthers, Atlanta has been bitten early by the injury bug. This game will come down to which team is able to adjust and utilize their remaining talent the best.Why Cam Newton is not the Carolina Panthers salary cap MVP Last week I highlighted the players who will likely compete to be the Panthers 2018 “Offensive Salary Cap MVPs” by significantly outplaying their 2018 cap hits. I narrowed the list down to C.J. Anderson, Jarius Wright, and Tyler Larsen, but several of the CSR faithful made the case in the comments that Cam Newton is the Panthers actual Salary Cap MVP. I thought a healthy debate about Cam’s 2018 cap number could prove to be entertaining, so let’s go there. And just to jump ahead, the answer to the question if Cam is the Panthers 2018 Salary Cap MVP is a clear “No.”Cam vs. all other QBsCam is entering the third season of a 5-year, $103.8 million deal. His cap hit in 2018 will be $21.5 million. Cam’s 2018 cap his is the 13th highest among NFL quarterbacks. But before jumping to the conclusion that his cap number is a great value because he’s better than the 13th best QB in the league (which he clearly is), we have to look at the actual cap numbers of other top-tier signal callers. Here are the QBs with the highest 2018 cap hits, per Spotrac:UntitledRankName2018 Cap Hit (Millions)Pro BowlsSB Wins as StarterRankName2018 Cap Hit (Millions)Pro BowlsSB Wins as StarterNewton’s cap number is sandwiched right between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, arguably the two best quarterbacks in the league. Let’s exclude Jimmy Garoppolo for a moment because his $37.0 million cap hit is an outlier based on 2018 being the first year of his new monster contract. (His cap number drops to $20.0 million in 2019 to balance things out.) Excluding Garoppolo and Cam Ryan Kalil Jersey , the average 2018 cap hit for the No. 2 through No. 16 QB is $22.8 million, which is just a hair above Cam’s $21.5 million. This group includes several Super Bowl winners and regular Pro Bowlers. Cam vs. the NFL’s “Top 5” QBsNow let’s just compare Cam to the other top QBs in the league. With Cam excluded, here is my Top 5 list, which is obviously open for debate:UntitledName2018 Cap Hit (Millions)Name2018 Cap Hit (Millions)The cap figure for a Top 5 NFL quarterback in 2018 is $22.9 million, which is right in line with Cam’s $21.5 million. Even if Cam turns in one of the best QB performances of the year in 2018, the Panthers are basically getting their money’s worth. But that’s like saying a Ferrari owner is “only” getting the expected value of a Ferrari. There’s nothing wrong with that. A Ferrari is still a Ferrari!By stating Cam is not the Panthers Salary Cap MVP, I am not disrespecting him. Cam’s my guy. He’s an elite NFL QB. As I’ve previously written, the only metric to measure Cam’s performance is in wins, and he’s one of the winningest QBs in the NFL. Only Country Time can rival Cam Newton in the number of times he’s made lemonade out of the lemons the Panthers have given him in terms of subpar weapons and frustrating offensive schemes. Cam’s a top-tier QB, no doubt, but his cap hit is just about where it should be for his caliber of signal caller. No disrespect. Just the truth.
The Panthers kick off training camp later this evening Carolina Panthers Hoodie , and to get you ready for the big event I’ve stolen an idea from our friends over at Windy City Gridiron by breaking down the topics you should follow in a handy A-Z format. So, without further ado, let’s alphabet together, y’all!A-Z guide to Panthers training campA - Mike Adams: Adams is the senior member of the Panthers secondary at 37 years young. The biggest question for him heading into the season is can he withstand the grind of a full 16-game season at his age? The Panthers are counting on his veteran leadership to lead a young secondary, so hopefully he’ll be able to produce at a high level for at least one more season.B - Backup QBs: The backup quarterback situation is probably the biggest question no oneknows the answer to heading into training camp. With the Panthers parting ways with Derek Anderson, there’s a big question mark over who will backup Cam Newton this year. The two biggest candidates for the job are Garrett Gilbert and Taylor Heinicke, but Kyle Allen will also give it a go in camp for the next few weeks. Hopefully one of them pulls away as the clear leader of the pack at some point this preseason.C - Cam Newton: The Panthers will go as Cam goes this season, so hopefully his recent Instagram posts are indicative of the kind of season Newton will have. He’s opened up more on social media as of late, and we all know that when Cam’s having fun positive results on the field tend to follow (see: 2015). D - D.J. Moore: The Panthers drafted Moore in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft in an effort to boost the offense around Newton. Moore will have a chance to make an impact almost immediately, and it will be interesting to see what he does with that opportunity.E - Elijah Hood: The Panthers acquired Hood off waivers after he was released by the Raiders earlier this offseason. The Panthers have a crowded backfield at running back, but Hood could latch on to the roster as the third or fourth stringer with a solid training camp and preseason. He’ll be competing with Cameron Artis-Payne and Kenjon Barner, so he’ll most likely have to contribute on special teams to make the 53-man roster.F - Devin Funchess: Funchess is in the final year of his contract and would probably like to prove that he deserves a long-term deal either here in Carolina or somewhere else in the league. I would expect to see good things from him this season.G - Rashaan Gaulden: Gaulden is one of the rookies trying to make an impact on the team in his first year. He was drafted in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft and will play safety for the Panthers. He’s definitely one of the ones to watch in training camp this year, as the Panthers desperately need quality depth at the safety position. Hopefully he can provide some.H - Daeshon Hall: We didn’t get to see Hall last year due to a knee injury Cheap Customized Carolina Panthers Jerseys , so this is almost like a second rookie year for him. The Panthers need youth at defensive end, so his development into a quality rotational player (and future starter) is critical for the defense this year. I - Ian Thomas: The Panthers drafted Thomas in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft with the hope that he can be the No. 2 tight end by season’s end. An injury to Chris Manhertz will give Thomas a head start on his quest to see the field, and the Panthers will certainly hope he can step up to the task at hand.J - Donte Jackson: Donte ‘Action’ Jackson was drafted by the Panthers in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft and should compete with Kevon Seymour and Ross Cockrell for playing time across from James Bradberry in the No. 2 cornerback position. Jackson could also spend a lot of time in the nickel corner spot, which probably suits him best.K - Luke Kuechly: Kuechly is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but is cleared to take part in training camp practices. He’s not expected to miss any time and he’s prepared to dominate the league like he does every other year. L - Left guard: In what will probably be the biggest position battle of training camp, the Panthers have several candidates to fill the void left by the departure of Andrew Norwell. Amini Silatolu is penciled in as the starter, but the Panthers brought in a veteran (Jeremiah Sirles) and a group of UDFAs to compete for the open spot on the offensive line. The Panthers’ season could depend on who wins this camp battle, so watch it closely.M - Christian McCaffrey: Run CMC is back for his second year and is expected to feature a lot more heavily in the Panthers’ offense this year. Can he succeed as an every down lead back? The Panthers are hoping so. I still expect them to use him as an X-factor weapon as well by lining him up out wide several times per game to get him the ball in space so he can do what he does best—make people miss.N - Norv Turner: The Panthers replaced former offensive coordinator Mike Shula with seasoned veteran Norv Turner this offseason, and the Panthers are expected to see an improvement on offense under his tutelage. Whether that brings better on-field results is yet to be seen, but I’m confident that we will see a positive difference in the offense this year versus the last several seasons.O - Greg Olsen: Olsen is ready to go after missing over half the season in 2017 due to a broken ankle that robbed him of a chance to be the first tight end to have four straight 1000-yard seasons. He’s expected to be 100% for the start of camp and should be an important piece to the offense this season, as usual.P - Julius Peppers: Peppers will begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list due to offseason shoulder surgery, but he should be ready to go by the time the regular season starts. Besides, he could probably get 8-10 sacks with one arm tied behind his back anyway. Friendly reminder for when he blows your mind at how dominant he is—he’s 38 years old. We’ll type that a lot this season.Q - Quinterrius Eatmon: Eatmon is one of the players competing for a guard spot. I’ll be real with you—nothing else starts with Q. You probably knew that already www.panthersfootballauthentic.com , though.R - Ryan Kalil: Will Kalil’s neck hold up for one last ride? He’s expected to retire at the end of this season, so hopefully he can make it through the year in one piece while grooming the center of the future—whoever that may be. Also, can we win a Super Bowl for him in his last year, please? That would be awesome, wouldn’t it?S - Shaq Thompson: Can Thompson step in to the starting linebacker role for the first four games of the season while Thomas Davis serves his suspension? The Panthers drafted him in the first round a few years ago to be Davis’ eventual replacement, so they’ll get a good look at him doing that for the first four games this year.T - Thomas Davis: With Davis suspended for the first four games of the season, can the defense function without him? Will those four games off actually benefit him this year? Will the extra time off save some fuel in the tank for a late-season playoff run? Only time will tell.U - Underdogs: The Panthers are heading into the 2018 season with hardly anyone believing they can return to the playoffs despite going 11-5 last year. That’s just the way we like it, though, since they seem to play much better when no one believes in them.V - Greg Van Roten: Is Van Roten in the mix at left guard, or do the Panthers see him as Ryan Kalil’s eventual replacement at center? Either way, I’d like to see him get some snaps this year because I think he’s pretty good.W - Wofford College: The Panthers will host training camp at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC again this year, as they have every year since they joined the league. X - X-Receiver: The Panthers have an interesting position battle going on at wide receiver. We have a good idea of the six guys who will make the 53-man roster (Funchess Carolina Panthers T-Shirt , Moore, Curtis Samuel, Damiere Byrd, Torrey Smith, Jarius Wright), but where those six players stack up on the depth chart and/or line up on the field is still a mystery. I think we’ll learn more about who goes where as training camp progresses.Y - Youth movement: The Panthers need to get younger at a few positions (defensive end, notably) and are experiencing an influx of young players at others (secondary, for example). Watching the younger players integrate into the team will be something to look out for over the next few weeks.Z - Zero losses: That’s the goal, of course. And yes—nothing starts with Z either.There you go, Panthers fans. Your handy dandy guide to Panthers training camp. We’re mere hours away from the start of the first practice, y’all! Can you feel the excitement yet?FanPulse: Panthers fans are slightly more confident ahead of clash with the Giants; Giants fans not so much Welcome to SB Nation FanPulse, a survey of fans across the NFL powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week, we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Panthers fans Carolina Panthers Hats , sign up HERE to join FanPulse.The Panthers didn’t play last week due to their bye, but they did make their team better after picking up free agent safety Eric Reid. This move to improve the defense gave Panthers fans a bit more confidence heading into their Week 5 clash with the Giants, and our Week 5 FanPulse results show that improvement. 90% of our fans who participated in our survey are confident in the direction of the franchise, up 2% from last week. Giants fans, however, are not feeling the love.54% of Giants fans who took part in the survey were confident in their team’s direction in Week 4. Now, only 18% of their fans are confident. Nerd Alert: That’s a 36% differential. I guess that’s what happens when you’re 1-3 following a 33-18 walloping from the Saints.If there’s one thing that both groups of fans can agree on, it’s who will win the game on Sunday. Both Panthers and Giants fans agree that the Panthers will leave Week 5 victorious. The only disagreement between the two groups of fans is the point differential. Panthers fans believe the Panthers will win the game by 10 points, while Giants fans believe the Panthers will win by six. Captain Obvious alert: Hopefully the fans are right about this, because being 3-1 is much better than being 2-2.What do you think, Panthers fans? Are you still confident? Do you think the Panthers will beat the Giants on Sunday? Why or why not? Share your thoughts with us!

The Miami Dolphins are hosting free agent defensive end Ziggy Hood on a visit to the team’s facilities, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Hood was released by the Washington Redskins two weeks ago and could be seen as rotational help at both defensive end and defensive tackle for the Dolphins, who are still trying to find a run-stuffing Minkah Fitzpatrick Jersey , edge-setting defensive end following an injury to William Hayes.Hood, who has primarily played defensive end in a 3-4 formation, was a first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2009. He played five seasons for the Steelers before sending 2014 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, then 2015 with the Chicago Bears, and the last three season with the Redskins. He has appeared in 133 games with 73 starts Authentic T.J. McDonald Jersey , recording 10 passes defensed, one forced fumble, five fumble recoveries, 229 tackles, and 14 sacks.The Dolphins have been gashed on the ground the last several weeks Youth Raekwon McMillan Jersey , including allowing 188 yards to the Houston Texans in Week 8 and 248 yards to the Detroit Lions in Week 7. Adding a player like Hood could give the team a better run-defender option in rotations at both defensive end and defensive tackle.UPDATE: Hood’s agent has announced the Dolphins signed the defensive lineman. The move takes one of the two empty roster spots the Dolphins had after releasing defensive tackle Jamiyus Pittman and safety Maurice Smith on Monday.
Tannehill on Thursday http://www.dolphinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-vincent-taylor-jersey , saying his beleaguered quarterback has showed improvement that continued into the start of this season.Tannehill will miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday against the New York Jets because of an injury to his throwing shoulder. Replacement Brock Osweiler has gone 1-2 as the starter but has played well, providing fresh fodder for Tannehill's many critics.Gase dismissed those detractors in the media and elsewhere who argue it's time for Miami (4-4) to find another quarterback."What qualifications are we talking about with the people saying that? None," Gase said. "So I don't really care what anybody else thinks."Tannehill, 30, became Miami's starter as a rookie in 2012 and still hasn't won a playoff game. He is 40-42 as a starter Mike Gesicki Jersey , but 10-3 since midseason of 2016. He missed all of last year because of a knee injury."You have an athletic guy that can move around as much as he can, and then his arm strength has been something that I've never been around before," Gase said."He has some rare qualities that you can't find in a lot of guys physically. The more that he keeps playing, he keeps learning game to game. Where's our ceiling at? I don't think we're close to it. I think we just keep getting better, and keep finding ways to maximize his skillset."Gase said that in his first season as Miami's coach in 2016 Authentic Jerome Baker Jersey , Tannehill made progress, and then played even better in the first three games this year."I've watched the film," Gase said. "I sit there. We evaluate the scheme we're asking him to do, and he does a good job on it."Tannehill is expected to play again this season, but it might not be until after the Dolphins' bye the weekend of Nov. 18. “Caption This!” is a game where we try to be funny. Give the funniest caption. That’s it. If you like someone else’s caption Youth Matt Haack Jersey , be so kind as to give them a REC. (If you don’t know how to REC something, please ask!) Most REC’s win.(Please remember site rules. Innuendo = good; profanity = bad.)The New York Jets come to Hard Rock Stadium for the 2018 season’s second match-up with the Miami Dolphins this Sunday. No matter what is currently going on in Dolphins Land, we can all take a moment to ridicule and downplay everything Jets-related. Nothing comes without salt and bitter in the AFC East.Take a moment out of your busy day to poop on the Jets and their worldview. Congratulations to Dolfan Lee and GetOffMyFlipperSon!!! for taking down last week’s Caption This! contest.Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesMy entry:Person giving a tour of New York Jets HQ: “And here in New York, we believe in running into our lineman’s asses and fumbling the ball.

All offseason and throughout the summer http://www.dolphinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jason-sanders-jerse , that has been the story-to-tell when it comes to whatever is happening in and around South Florida. It is the thing to do, and everyone wants in on the fun.How bad is it? I searched the internet to find the regular season predictions for the 2018 version of the NFL. Here is Miami’s record according to multiple websites, and, when available, the explanation for the record:2-14 - UPDATE: OOPS. Miami is 3-0 after Week 3.Sporting News - Tadd Haislop3-13 - UPDATE: OOPS. Miami is 4-2.MMQB - Jonathan Jones4-12 - Update: OOPS.

And Cameron Wake Jersey , the offense appears set to be above-average or even better as long as Ryan Tannehill stays upright and DeVante Parker shows up for 16 games.Miami Dolphins must regroup, find way to win against Cincinnati Bengals After, a 38-7 debacle up in Foxboro against the New England Patriots, it is unbelievable that the Miami Dolphins had nothing going right for them. The offense wasn’t moving the football at all. It was a combination of the play calling and the offense not executing. The first offensive play resulted in a first down as Ryan Tannehill connected with wide receiver Kenny Stills for 22 yards and a first down. On the next play center Daniel Kilgore was flagged for a holding call that resulted in a ten yard penalty. Then a head scratcher as, instead of throwing the football on 2nd and long, they decided to run. The call was a handoff to running backKenyan Drake, which resulted in a five-yard gain. On 3rd and 12 Authentic Laremy Tunsil Jersey , Tannehill threw to Albert Wilson for 5 yards, resulting in a Dolphins punt.It’s possible that had the Dolphins been aggressive, the first offensive drive could have been saved. It’s mind blowing that against the Oakland Raiders, the Dolphins used trick plays that resulted in scores, yet against the Patriots none were used. As I continue dissecting this debacle of a performance by the Dolphins, I continue wondering why the offense was so predictable and it was the perfect recipe for a disastrous performance.I’m preaching to head coach Adam Gase to stop with bubble screens. It’s time that you open up the playbook and used your offensive weapons at full capacity. Why is Mike Gesicki not involved in the offense? The organization selected Gesicki in the second round of the NFL draft. Let’s take a look at his numbers... Shall we?. Gesicki has 5 receptions for 51 yards and no touchdowns. It’s time that Gase gets him heavily involved and let’s not forget about running back Kenyan Drake. He needs to be more involved in the offense, last week Drake had 3 carries for 3 yards and that’s unacceptable.The time is now Gase Youth Ryan Tannehill Jersey , it’s time to go all in on Sunday against the Bengals and make sure you do anything possible to bring back the W. Do not let go of this opportunity. The opportunity is right in front of you. This team has offensive weapons and must be used in a proper way. It’s time for the Dolphins to regroup and bring back home the victory.Miami Dolphins (3-1) vs Cincinnati Bengals 3-1 on Sunday kickoff set at 1 pm.Follow me at asimancas305 for Dolphins updates, injury report, breaking news, and much more.
