I know this is off topic for the Dolphins, But I needed to rant about this, and see how everyone else feels about this tactic. There are a lot of NFL analysts and writers who always say that the last second time out called by the coach on the sideline should be banned. I for one disagree emphatically with these people for one simple reason best said by Herm Edwards, “You play to WIN the game!”

In an article Posted by yahoo's Jason Cole (he used to cover the dolphins for the Sun-Sentinal) The Dolphins receiver ranks 19th behind the likes of NY Giants, Jets, Detroit, SF 49ers,  and Baltimore. Here is the link to the article to peruse and comment on.

Who would your top ten receiving corps be and where would you rank Miami? Include drafted rookies(Dez Bryant, Golden Tate for example)

Next week we will line up running back units, Quarterback units(back-ups and third stringers included, O-lines, D-lines, LBs, and DBs.

Should be some interesting conversations that will help lead up to training camp!!!!!

Hey Phin fans,

   What a week of football!! I went through the whole emotional gambit in a 4-5 hour span on Sunday much like everybody here. I started watching the saints/fins with a hope of keeping it close. Then the first pickoff came and a touchdown I started to get excited Building a 24-3 lead, I started to believe. Bess' fumble I started to hope that they could just do enough to hold off the Saints. A pick-6 for sharper(again) and I started to worry. On Williams' third TD I regained some belief. Then on Bushs' TD I started to panic. When the saints finally took the lead I was in mourning like my favorite dog had died. When the game was over I was furious looking for who to blame for what transpired. BY the time I ate dinner I was so brain dead that I was just sitting in front of the TV and I don't even remember the rest of the evening.

This week in the rankings The biggest riser is Houston moving up six spots, meanwhile the biggest drop goes to San Fransisco moving down Nine spots. I am putting this up ahead of the "experts" because I want to see how my rankings stack up to theirs. Enjoy and I look forward to comments, discussion and debate.

Have a great week and Go fins on Sunday against the jests!!!

After the 6th week of seeing ESPN's B.S. rankings and NFL.com rankings, I thought I'd offer up my version on here. I like to hear feedback and reasoning if you disagree with where I've placed a team. In some cases where teams are close in rankings that have played each other, I feel the winning team is the higher team. I hope you enjoy.

Rex Ryan made a phone call last week to all season ticket holders asking them to be as loud as they could sunday.

We need to do the same thing tonight against the Colts and their quarterback, Peyton Manning! nobody audible as much as he does and if his teammates can"t hear him it is very disruptive to his offensive timing. Lets show the nation how loud LandShark Stadium can get when the best 12th man in the league is at it's best!!! I will be going home with no voice tomorrow.
