The Miami Dolphins: All Peaches and Cream...Not!

We here on the Shout have been praising Jeff Ireland and the staff for what they have done this year. It really does look promising doesn't it? The Miami Dolphins have allowed a few players to move on that seem to be having declining careers. You know who they are so I won't mention their names. They are gone and there is nothing we can do about it. Some of us, myself included...

College coaches say Dallas Thomas will quietly make impact with Dolphins

Quiet demeanor. Always smiling. Gentle giant. Not exactly words that come to mind when describing a person who makes his living in NFL trenches. Then again, those descriptions arent why the Miami Dolphins selected Dallas Thomas in the third round of last month's NFL Draft. General manager Jeff Ireland focused on other Thomas characteristics: athletic, hardworking, eager to...

The State of the Dolphins Backfield

It’s not too difficult to project what the starting lineup is going to be at MOST positions for the Miami Dolphins. Once the draft ended, the dust settled and gave us an idea as to who is going to start and where they’ll line up. However, one position specifically has become increasingly difficult to gauge – running back. Let’s take a look at some of the options the Dolphins...

Hypocritical NFL should be blamed if Dolphins do not host Super Bowl

The Miami Dolphins have been working through the political process, in hopes of securing public tax dollars to help renovate Sun Life Stadium.  We won’t bore you with the logistics of the operation, just know that the tax dollars would have been paid by tourists (in way of a hotel tax) and the Dolphins would have repaid what is essentially a loan, over a 30 year time period.  The...

Grading the enemy's draft

Since the conclusion of the 2013 NFL Draft, we've outlined our thoughts and opinions regarding all nine of the Miami Dolphins selections, especially first round pick Dion Jordan. The general consensus is that Jeff Ireland's aggressive approach to the draft while sticking to his board throughout the entire process will prove to be a success. It was also key that the General...

Dolphins should just say no to Tebow

I’m sorry Dolphins fans, I tried to avoid writing this post, but it needs to be said.  The Dolphins do not need Tim Tebow on their team.  I’ve seen a number of stories and theories floating around that Tebow would be a good pickup for the Dolphins.  These theories suggest that if Tebow were to switch positions to an H-back type role, then he would make sense for the Dolphins...

Dolphins doing their due diligence in finding an OT

  Jeff Ireland took no time to rest up after an eventful draft week moving quickly to try and solve the team’s holes on the offensive line. The Dolphins currently are very thin at OT and have been looking for solutions all off-season.  After the departure of Jake Long, it seemed that a trade for Brandon Albert was all but inventible. However Ireland wouldn’t cave to...

Latest news on Dolphins renewed talks with Winston, Chiefs for Albert

If you watched the NFL Draft this weekend, you probably noticed that the ‘experts’ killed the Miami Dolphins for most of the draft.  The ‘experts’ did so because the Dolphins did not draft or trade for a starting left tackle.  While I completely agree that the Dolphins must find a left tackle, I will not harp on the subject from now until September.  The truth is, they...

Three Gators highlight aggressive draft for Dolphins

DAVIE, Fla. Give the Miami Dolphins an A grade for being active, aggressive and creating social media buzz during the 2013 NFL Draft.

Dolphins owner: Sparano ‘damaged the whole organization’

Before the Dolphins were spending big on free agents and wheeling and dealing draft picks, there came a low point in early 2011. It was around that time that the organization failed in its courting of Jim Harbaugh, inciting then-lame duck coach Tony Sparano. Reflecting back, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross claims Sparano developed an irreparable grudge from the event, and it "...

Dolphins draft Jamar Taylor, trade Bess, and select Thomas, Davis in 3rd round

Well, day 2 of the draft went just like we all planned, right?  Actually, Austin (@Phinfanalyst) predicted the Dolphins pick in his round 2 mock draft yesterday.  Austin predicted that the Dolphins would use pick #54 on Jamar Taylor, cornerback from Boise State….and the Dolphins did just that.  Some thought the Dolphins might trade up, but they sat tight and ultimately got a...

Dolphins draft strategy: target playmakers

When the comissioner announced that the Miami Dolphins had acquired the third overall pick, the first player that came to mind was offensive tackle Lane Johnson. I know I wasn't alone there. Based on the Dolphins draft strategy of the past, it seemed likely that the team would once again draft for need and upgrade at the most glaring hole on the roster. Instead, Jeff Ireland...

Grading round 1 of the Dolphins draft.

Well, it is safe to say not many of us ‘experts’ saw this coming. Jeff Ireland is wheeling and dealing like a man possessed. Jeff Ireland reportedly began the trade up process targeting a certain WR many DolFans have been drooling over. However, the Bills refused to trade their pick within their own division. Instead of standing pat, which we fans have become accustomed too,...

Dolphins looking at trading up, possibly for Joeckel?

This week, everyone seems to have a rumor about the Miami Dolphins and a theory about what they are going to do in this year’s draft. The truth is, this is exactly what the Dolphins want.  They do not want anyone to know if they are trading up, or down, or sideways (wait, what?).  They don’t want other teams to know what players they are really interested in.
