Perfectville returns to discuss the awful linebacking corps of the 2017 Miami Dolphins. Season ending injuries, AWOL veterans, under performing team captains and even an arrested thrown in for good measure, needless to say, but this unit was incredibly bad this past season. New Defensive Coordinator, Matt Burke, was able to improve the backfield, […]
The boys are back in town! The Town of Perfectville, that is. And they are here to present the final round of Phinzees for the 2016-2017 season! Categories such as The Penny Saver Value Phinzee, Defensive Player Of The Year Phinzee, Offensive Player Of The Year Phinzee, and of course, The Dallas Thomas Lifetime Achievement Phinzee! Plus, […]
The Second part of our three part awards show, The Phinzees, is here! Sam, Kevin, Chris and Travis (along with his pants-less cat), return to present four more HUGE Phinzee awards to their respective winners! Categories include The You Look Phinsational Phinzee (Best Uniform Combination), The Phinjury Report (Most Impactful Injury), The Adam Sandler “You Blew It!” […]
The 2016 Dolphins were many things. Between the heart-thumping finishes, exceeded expectations, and setting a new organizational precedence, if nothing else, this team was a sheer pleasure to watch. With an impressive resolve, the Dolphins overcame a multitude of adverse situations to win double digit games and secure a post-season berth for the first time […]
Just in time for the holidays, Sam and Chris preview the big AFC East match-up against the Buffalo Bills on Christmas Eve. If Miami wins, and Denver loses, The ‘Phins are in the playoffs. Buffalo, however, is fighting to save their coach, Rex Ryan. They also have extra motivation to shut down Jarvis Landry after […]
The boys are back to talk about Ryan Tannehill’s knee injury, the abysmal refereeing from the Arizona Cardinals game, and of course, shifting our focus towards the hated Jets and their garbage fire of a team, this season. Matt Moore takes the reigns at QB this week and Miami STILL has the 2nd best QB […]
The boys clock in a record performance as they go close to 60 minutes on this episode. Hopefully Miami can go the foll hour when they play the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, in Miami. Coming off of an embarrassing beat down at the hands of fellow bird team, Miami looks to rebound and return to […]
Miami went into Baltimore seeking their seventh win a row, and left there still having only seven wins total, as the Ravens flocked the Dolphins up, 38-6. Defensively, Miami was terrible. Offensively, Miami was terrible. Special teams, however…was terrible. So what went wrong? Did anything go right? And does DeVante Parker have a second career […]
The playoffs start NOW, as Miami steamrolls into Baltimore to take on the third seeded, and AFC North Division leading, Ravens. Can Miami take out a playoff contender while in a hostile environment? Will Ryan Tannehill or Jay Ajayi be able to crack the seemingly, unsolvable code, that is The Ravens defense? And who, among […]
The Miami Dolphins won their sixth straight game and are now the sixth seed in the AFC Playoff standings! It wasn’t easy, however, as Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers put up a valiant effort before succumbing to defeat, two yards short of the game tying touchdown by Kaepernick. Who stepped up to thwart […]
Another week, another Miami Dolphins win. Five in a row now for the boys from South Beach, and this one was an ugly, wet mess until about five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Ryan Tannehill, Jarvis Landry and DeVante Parker stepped up (finally!) and sent the West Coast Dol-Fans who braved the Los Angeles […]
The Dolphins combined their west coast road trip, so we combined our west coast podcasts! A JUMBO (non-Elliot version) edition of Perfectville, as we discuss the four game winning streak that continued in San Diego, as well as preview the upcoming game against the St. Louis Los Angeles Rams. Can Miami survive a loss to their […]
The Dolphins win AGAIN and have gotten themselves back to a .500 record at 4-4. Even better, they have gotten themselves back into a legitimate conversation for the playoffs! A 27-23 victory that saw a rushing TD, a passing TD, a kickoff return for a TD, two strip sacks by Cam Wake, and even a […]
Sam and Chris to review what went wrong up in Foxboro. An overwhelmed defense, a slow starting offense and the legend of Jimmy Garoppolo combined to drop 31 point quickly on our beloved fins. If not for the Herculean effort of Ryan Tannehill, the talent of Jarvis Landry and DeVante Parker, and most importantly, Kiko […]
The number one thing to take away from the pre-season is that you shouldn’t take anything away from the pre-season. These glorified scrimmages can prove who is worthy of the bubble spots on the roster and who is capable of flashing ability in one-on-one situations. The pre-season has had its bright spots sprinkled in over […]
Adam Gase provided a depth chart that not even Dallas Thomas’ mom thought to be true throughout the entire pre-season. Listing the embattled offensive lineman as the first team left guard was very “Belichickian” of the rookie head coach. With the Seahawks only six days away, and the team beginning early preparations, an accurate depth […]
The following players were cut today to get the roster to 53. Imagine if you are a football player and aren’t good enough to make a team like the Miami Dolphins…ouch: Players in bold, commentary in (parenthesis) CUTS: OL Sam Young (Great first name, bad player) CB Chimdi Chekwa (ChekWHY was this a surprise to […]
When you hear the letters “ACL” you often think of a player falling down with no contact and joining the injured reserve for the rest of the season. The anterior crucial ligament or ACL tear is one of the most career threatening injuries due to its long recovery time and high risk of re-injury. Today […]
I have been extremely dismissive of this final pre-season game tonight. Before we get into this piece, let’s touch on three things I want to look for: 1.) Xavien Howard – He’s been anointed the defacto starter week one in Seattle and I find the message to be a bit mixed. Here you’ve made Laremy […]
Sam and Chris review the game against the Atlanta Falcons and hand out their “Worst Players Ever” awards in addition to breaking down every roster spot available and predicting the final 53 man roster for opening day. Who do Sam and Chris see staying? Who gets cut? And can Dallas Thomas survive yet ANOTHER bad […]
Falcons 6 Dolphins 17 Although not outstanding by any measure, that performance gave me a much better feeling heading into the season. The best news of all, assuming Ndamukong Suh’s ankle injury is as minor as we’re told, the Dolphins get out of this game without any serious injuries and appear poised (knock on wood) […]
Atlanta Falcons (2-0) @ Miami Dolphins (1-1) Thursday August 25 8:00 EST – Hard Rock Stadium – NBC National Broadcast The third pre-season game is always the “dress rehearsal” for the regular season. Just as the Dolphins are preparing for their contest possible adding some minimal scheming, I’m going to transition more into a […]
Dolphins 14 (1-1) Cowboys 41 (1-1) That was difficult to stomach. That queasy, unwelcomed feeling of watching this team fall helplessly off the rails reared its ugly head once more as Miami were completely undone by the Cowboys. There are inevitable mistakes that will occur in the pre-season. Missed assignments, blown coverages, penalties, substitution issues […]
Miami Dolphins (1-0) @ Dallas Cowboys (0-1) Friday August 19, 8:00 EST Cowboys Stadium Now that you’ve removed your finger from the panic button and prepare for another installment of Dolphins football, let’s get you ready for the game. The Cowboys came out on fire against the Rams in their opener taking the opening […]
The first official game of the 2016-2017 Miami Dolphins season is in the books! Miami traveled to New Jersey to take on the OTHER team at Met Life Stadium, The New York Giants, and walked out of their preseason match up with a 27-10 victory. Sam and Chris break down what went right, want went […]
Dolphins 27 (1-0) Giants 10 (0-1) I created a system to grade players via film study using statistics that I’ve either invented myself, borrowed from other football enthusiasts, or some combination of the two. I watched the game against the Giants just like most of you probably did -with a beer in my hand while […]
On the last episode of the pod, Sam mentioned this being the hottest Dolphins blog on the internet. He quickly provided a disclaimer that the content didn’t reflect my personal appearance. To disprove his utter non-sense, I had some professional glamour shots done – enjoy. Now that games are on the horizon this blog will take […]
Fire up the week 17 tape of the victory over the Patriots and you’ll notice a common theme with the Miami defense. You’ll see linebackers flying to the ball, filing gaps and playing, far and away, their best games of the season. Neville Hewitt was everywhere stopping the run and even shielding Rob Gronkowski on […]
Sam and Chris are BACK after a three week hiatus. The boys talk about their first impressions of free agency in 2016 for the Miami Dolphins. From the controversial trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, to Mario Williams signing with Miami and more. We also discuss the impending losses of Lamar Miller, Olivier Vernon and others. […]
