Why are you talking about the Bears in a Dolphins thread?!

This anarchy must stop!

Just because something or someone was mentioned previously doesn't make it on topic, otherwise the thread you just locked for being off topic wouldn't have been locked as everyone was referencing previous posts. I don't care if Derrick Henry is mentioned, but I feel the rod you have made for your own back with previous efforts at moderating is currently being waved in your face and you can't really argue against it with any justification #2penneth

The Dolphins were one of the teams who were reported to have interviewed Henry before the draft and were also in bad need of a running back. They chose to pass him over in the second round and let him slip a little further. Tennessee took him a few picks later. I'm pretty certain the reason Henry is mentioned in this thread is because of that and that's why he said "Oops" about the Dolphins. You know what's really funny? Here, I will show the first mention Henry gets in this thread and what lead up to it. See if you notice the irony...

Now, after all of that... Henry isn't a Dolphin, but the fact they passed on him in the draft is relevant to this board as pre-season unfolds and he's looking good which could make it look like a mistake for the Phins not to draft him when they had the chance.

That said, I get the point of your post and each is entitled to their own opinion. So, points were made, I understand where you were going with yours... I'm heading back on topic, as a Phins fan, I'm ready for another lackluster season. Honestly, I don't see this team being any good again in my lifetime with the way it's been going for the last several years. I think to myself, "Nah, they have to get back up there at some point. No team is that bad for that long." Then, I remember the Cubs historical post-season woes and realize this really could go on for a long, long time.

**disclaimer before the village chimes in** No, schmert, it's not a Cubs thread, either.

It will be interesting to see the starting DL have a go at Dallas OL.
So far we have had suspect tackling against the Giants but with less and less contact allowed in the offseason it is to be expected. I think DB played very well, especially McCain.

Hopefully Tunsil becomes a starter from this evening and Dallas Thomas is only kept on roster for depth. I still would prefer Tunsil to play tackle and Albert to slide inside as Guard but it looks like they never considered the option.

Another thing I look forward to is Doughty taking reps with 2nd team offense: he was good in the first game, has some potential but needs to be tested with better competition. Moore can sit out the game, his job is holding a clipboard anyway.

Still have some hope on Turner. Bushrod might be useful.
Thomas will be a backup hopefully, could still be better than Urbik but it's maddening how he is put on skates by everybody who attempts a bullrush on him.

starters were ok ish at least on offense but defense could use work
