From Kings story...

The move comes as a surprise but perhaps not a shock. Arians, the most colorful coach in a buttoned-up pro game, said he started thinking about stepping aside at the NFL Scouting Combine a month ago. He is a prostate-cancer survivor and was hospitalized due to an illness late in his first head-coach tenure in Indianapolis in 2012. He’s suffering from a torn Achilles today. But when he explained his reasons, health wasn’t the big thing.

He said he’s relinquishing the Tampa job because “succession has always been huge for me. With the organization in probably the best shape it’s been in its history, with Tom Brady coming back … I’d rather see Todd in position to be successful and not have to take some [crappy] job. I’m probably retiring next year anyway, in February. So, I control the narrative right now. I don’t control it next February because [if] Brady gets hurt, we go 10-7, and it’s an open interview for the job … I got 31 [coaches and their] families that depend on me. My wife is big on not letting all those families down.”

      PFF Grades vs Dolphins

      By frankw · Posted

      PFF has it's uses for certain position groups but it shouldn't be seen as gospel. Sometimes you just have to look at what you're seeing with your own two eyes.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      Also, this post is EXACTLY what I wanted to move on from Bryce this offseason and sign Jameis. Because he'd be slinging the ball all over the field and it would expedite the growth of all our young pass catchers, which to me, regardless of our record, would have made for a "winning" season.  We all want our long term franchise QB, but if you can't get that, expediting the improvement of the rest of your roster is a solid consolation prize given the state of our franchise.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By Icege · Posted

      You are correct that context matters. Let's look at the timing of those six (I accidentally counted one of Etienne's previously) runs of 10+ 11-yd run | Q2 10:43 (0 - 17) 14-yd run | Q2 9:49 (0 - 17) 25-yd run | Q2 1:47 (7 - 17) 53-yd run | Q3 14:53 (13 - 17) 43-yd run | Q4 9:09 (20 - 17) 16-yd run | Q4 4:31 (27 - 24) Q1 the offense basically walked onto the field and then immediately off thanks to Bryce's turnovers, but that's the only quarter that Dowdle didn't rip off a 10+ yard run. I think that's also where folks are basing most of their frustration... because Q1 was straight cheeks. By the half though, it was 10 - 17 with the Panthers set to get the ball to start the half. That's not a situation to get desperate and start flinging it everywhere. Though not exactly related to the topic, I do have to give Evero credit where credit is due. There were halftime adjustments made that resulted in the Dolphins not being able to mindlessly abuse the defense over the middle. That's not even mentioning how they completely stuffed the Miami run game in the second half as well.
