And speaking of journalists, this interview of Ted Thompson by Bob McGinn came out. I generally like McGinn's work, especially his roster / player analyses and draft pieces.

That said, frankly, I thought this was a poor interview and that McGinn tried extra hard to target "storylines" by making hay out of minor situations. He repeatedly insinuated that there was a rift between Ted and Fat Mike, and tried to imply that there was ongoing dramas rather than the normal everyday occupations of a football organization.

I don't feel like I learned much from this interview, though my respect for Ted has gone up a bit for not putting up with these questions as well as his explanations of the pursuit of organizational stability and consistency as an overarching goal. I get that journalists try to be "hard-hitting" instead of a media outlet for the team, but I think McGinn could have accomplished a lot more here and drawn out more information if he hadn't been as combative in his questioning.

Of course, as a Packers fan, I probably have a blind spot here. Does anyone else get a similar impression from the interview?

So is this really the worst Miami offense in recent memory or is Omar just being Omar? :ohdear: I find both scenarios equally plausible given Dallas Thomas and letting Lamar Miller go.

It's a brand new coaching staff taking over a 6-10 team with largely the same personnel. It's not gonna be good. We need to just hope for improvement as the year goes on.

The biggest issue, to me at least, is whether or not we can run the ball effectively. Sort that out and we might be in the top half of the league for points scored.

I'm really hoping the offensive line looks good and we at least can see how tannehill looks not getting his rear end beat every loving snap but this team is so borderline retarded we skipped out on drafting a guard in the mid rounds with several top values staring us In the face

To draft an injury prone running back and a great value but puzzling selection of a WR.

Ugh. We just don't get it. And now Dallas Thomas is slated to start. BUT HE LIFTS WEIGHTS NOW!

Yeah, Omar really gets upset when he's held accountable for his bullshit, especially considering how vocal he is about valuing accountability. Maybe he classifies details like reporting the correct player/number combination when calling out people for doing poorly in camp as "gotcha bullshit".

Also, it's entertaining that he is such a piece of poo poo that this has become an Omar/Dolphins thread.
