       As a terminal fan of the Miami Dolphins, I am well too aware of how a historic talent could lead an organization towards strategically questionable decisions under the spell of seduction; completely blind to objective foresight. I would like to first stipulate that I believe Josh Allen is a generational talent. I marvel at the thing the man does on a football field! Believe me when I say, none of what I am about to point out is in anyway a dismissal of one of the most physically talented QB's I have ever seen.  However, he does have one glaring weakness, a weakness that has proven to be consistent throughout his career, he is usually bottom of the league in comp% otherwise interpreted as accuracy. You may think that this stat is related to his aggressive downfield approach, and yet that assumption is also not supported by the numbers. In 2021 Allen was 23rd in yards per attempt, and 24th in comp %. Why is this important to point out? Analyst after analyst...

    Anybody that knows me is acutely aware that I LOVE INTERIOR DEFENSIVE PLAYERS!! I gravitate my focus towards interior defenders. My favorite Dolphin of all time is an interior defensive lineman (#95 Tim Bowens), my favorite player currently is also an interior defensive player (#99 Aaron Donald). My current Miami Dolphin man crush is a Defensive lineman (#92 Zach Sieler). However, objective observation leads me to conclude that #94 has orchestrated the greatest Defensive Interior performance in franchise history.. 2019   Wilkins was one of my favorite players in the 2019 draft class. It is misguided to measure Wilkins strictly through combine metrics, because Wilkins is a unique athlete. At 6’4” 310 pounds, he is by far the most flexible, balanced, and laterally explosive player at that size I have ever seen. His unique athleticism allows him to be elite at three interior defensive lineman characteristics. 1. Availability  Wilkins is NEVER injured, he led al...

Written by Daniel Suarez      There is a growing trend in narrative to suggest that QB'S can not be judged by win-loss record. It may seem as if it is a reasonable conclusion considering the nature of football as a team sport with infinite unknown variables. However, I argue that not only are they ignoring universal football truths analytically, they also conveniently forget the history of QB accolades. Perception The NFL has always honored winning over stats. There are 26 QB exclusive players in The Pro Football Hall of Fame; "exclusive" meaning they did not play multiple positions. Only two QB's had losing records. The NFL has always valued winning above all, and for good reason; ultimately it is the only statistic that matters. Turnovers. For all the infinite variables that exist in a violent sport that uses an oblong ball, the sport still generates THE UNDISPUTED STATISTIC CHAMP  that directly results to winning in professional sports, not including the obvious ...

  If I am being honest my love of football was born from my fathers obsession over the sport. My father was a Miami resident during the perfect season and the reign of that Dolphin team’s greatness. So naturally, as an impressionable 6 year old, I was indoctrinated to love football. However, my first unbiased moment of unabated love for the sport was when I first saw Steve Largent play the receiver position.  November 25, 1984 John Elway being a contemporary of Marino, my father had a vested interest in watching Elway play. Denver was the home team, and my father kept pointing to me and saying “Concentrate on Elway, “Es un dolor de cabeza”! I didn’t understand the importance of the QB position, nor was I capable of comprehending why my father had so much respect for Elway. No!! All I remember is watching that game with fledgling eyes and thinking “WHO THE FUCK IS THIS WHITE BOY #80. Seattle won the game, and the First Ballot Hall of Famer Largent had 12 receptions for 191 yard...

The irony of the controversial “Redskins Name” is that it’s origins where a manifestation of reverence to one Sioux Native American man and the style of football he created. William Lone Star Dietz July 5th 1933, George Preston Marshall of the National Football League’s Boston franchise is quoted as saying that he was changing the team’s name from “Braves” to “Redskins” to avoid confusion with Boston’s baseball Braves. The name change was apparently necessary because Marshall had entered into an agreement for his team to play in Fenway Park in 1933, rather than in Braves Park, as it had done in 1932.  July 1933, Marshall had decided that he was going to bring “Indian football” back to the National Football League. Indian football was a wide open brand of early twentieth century football, usually played by Native American teams, that featured lots of passing and trick plays. It was most strongly associated with the college teams fielded by the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Ca...

    Since the unification of the NFL and AFL in 1967 only 8 Defensive Tackles have won Defensive Rookie of the Year. The first to win the award as an interior Defensive player in 1969 was rated by the NFL as the 13th greatest player in HISTORY!! “Mean” Joe Greene! Don Shula had so much admiration for Joe Greene that in 1991 he hired Joe Greene to be his Defensive Line Coach. 1994 During the teams scouting process in preparation for the upcoming draft, One of the greatest players of all time, Joe Greene, saw a momentary glimpse from an unknown player with practically no experience. He was so enamored by what he observed that he convinced Shula to personally travel to meet this unknown and dismissed player. That player was Tim Bowens , who only played 9 games in his college career. The GREAT Joe Greene, by himself, traveled to Mississippi to meet Tim in order to verify his conviction. They met at a local dilapidated pool hall often visited by the very private Bowens, and after a...
