  It all started in the late 1990’s when my mom returned home with my very own Dan Marino jersey.  It doesn’t take much to sway the loyalties of an 8 year old, so the aqua and orange pulled me way into Miami Dolphins fanhood.  For the past 10 and some years, I’ve sat idly as a fan voicing my opinions to anyone who would listen until recently, when an opportunity to pick up a loud speaker arose: Phins Phocus—complete opinionated coverage of the Miami Dolphins.   Each week, The Stop and Go will analyze the previous game and the upcoming one in terms of what the Dolphins must stop, something they should start, and something they have done well and should indeed continue.  Let us take this opportunity to put week 1 behind us.   Stop: Tipped Passes and 3rd Down Miscues I could evidently compile a whole list of things that the Miami Dolphins need to stop after their week 1 debacle versus the Houston Texans, but, I will slip on Joe Philbin’s shoes and pinpoint what I deem the most pr...

Via Phin Nation  |  September 14, 2012
The Miami Dolphins have become the butt of many jokes in recent years and with the latest ‘stunt’ they are pulling, it’s becoming more difficult to stick up for them.  The Dolphins home opener is Sunday against the Raiders.  At halftime of the game, the Dolphins will three Dolphins fans a chance to win $10,000.

Do Dolphins have tools to fix woes in red zone?

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  September 13, 2012
DAVIE, Fla. In todays NFL, its tough to score in the red zone the area inside the opponents 20-yard line without some basic weapons. Heres the checklist: a head-banging running back, a space-clearing tight end, a wide receiver who can go up and get the ball, a crafty quarterback who is proficient at throwing the fade or the back-shoulder pass, and an offensive line that can...

Dolphins rule Daniel Thomas out with a concussion

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  September 16, 2012
Daniel Thomas is the Dolphins’ 2nd string running back and is the type of player who could have a big role on a weekly basis, depending on the matchup, because of how much the Dolphins like to run. They only got the run 19 times in the opener, 2 of which were quarterback scrambles, because they were down by so much, so Thomas only had 3 carries. He did catch a catch for 32 yards...

Terrible Dolphins halftime idea trending on Twitter

Via Bloguin Best  |  September 14, 2012
The Miami Dolphins probably have the worst PR team in the NFL as it seems they just can’t keep the team out of the tabloids. This afternoon ProFootballTalk.com reported the Dolphins plan on holding a pretty much impossible halftime contest offering $10,000 to a lucky fan if they are able to hit a 60 yard field goal. Most NFL kickers can’t kick it from 60 yards yet the...

Pitiful Picks: Dolphins will win and get Tannehill/Philbin first win

Via Phin Nation  |  September 16, 2012
It’s a new Miami Dolphins season and PhinNation’s pitiful picks are back!  Last year we finished right around .500, which was….well, pitiful!  This year, we’re getting started a week late for our full 4 pick format, but we are 1-0.  As difficult as it was, we picked the Texans last week -12.5 to beat the [...]

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 14, 2012
Miami Dolphins running back Daniel Thomas did not practice Friday and was listed on the team's injury report as out against the Oakland Raiders with a concussion.

Defensive tackle Tony McDaniel (knee) is also out on Sunday.

Houston Texans DE Antonio Smith fined, Miami Dolphins G Richie Incognito not

Via 60 Max Power O  |  September 16, 2012
  The person who retaliates is always the one who gets caught, not the person who initiates the transgressions. Such is the case for Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith, who was informed he was going to be fined $21K by the NFL for kicking Miami Dolphins G Richie Incognito during last Sunday’s 30-10 Texans victory. Smith however, was not so much disappointed that he...
