Here in Dolphinland, there is a small glimmer of hope with head coach Adam Gase. During his recent press conference, he basically blamed the all sumo O-Line for Ryan Tannehill's recent struggles. In fact, 3 sumos Dallas Thomas, Billy Turner, and Jamil Douglas have been released. Just judging from the way he speaks, it seems like he knows this coal black roster that Joe Philbin, Jeff Ireland, and Mike Tannenbaum put together is crap. Unfortunately there is no indication that Tannenbaum's job is anything but safe so even if Gase realizes these players suck, there is no promise that he's going to get better players to work with as long as caste-stooge Tannenbaum is supplying the groceries. The previous GM, Dennis Hickey seemed a little more white friendly which is why Tannenbaum showed him the door and brought in his own "in house" puppet black GM, Chris Grier. It pisses me off to know that Hickey wanted G Mitch Morse and Tannenbaum overrode him and drafted sumo DT Jordan Phillips. Phillips was in no way worth a second round pick. He was considered a project from day one. But again "dat upside"
I just hope Gase is smart enough to go against conventional wisdom to draft a black quarterback next year just to appease this DWF fan base. One of the worst aspects of who Mike Tannenbaum is, was the sleazy, slimy way he ingratiated himself into the Dolphins organization and whispered into that idiot Ross' ear until he was able to get absolute power over the team. Such a scumbag. Trading up in the 3rd to take Leonte Carroo (a project WR who has yet to even see the field) when they could have drafted Nick Vigil (would have looked nice lining up with his brother Zach) was awful. Restructuring Suh's contract to pay more for cap space we didn't use (could have brought in someone like Evan Mathis or Alex Boone) was also ridiculous.
