Earlier this week, I asked the following question about tomorrow’s game:
What are your predictions for the upcoming game between your Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints? Final score? MVP of the game? Other bold predictions? Additionally, which New Orleans Saints players would you, if you could, steal to place on the Miami Dolphins roster?
Below are some of your thougths and answers-
Left Shark just came to the party to wish us all a happy holiday!
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
cyberflea has Miami winning their third in a row and wants a WR to put out opposite Waddle.
Player to steal – I would have gone with center Erik McCoy if the Dolphins didn’t have Brewer or LB Demario Davis who’s played outstanding but at 36 years old is a pass. So, I am going with WR Chris Olave. At only 25 years old, the Dolphins would have a great pair of WRs with Olave and Waddle.
Prediction – The Saints are a bad football team especially offensively. The Saints offense is averaging a measly 15 points per game and ranks 31st in scoring. The Saints have been outscored 108-44 over their last four games, averaging just 11 points per game while allowing 27 and are dead last scoring inside the red zone.
The Dolphins must continue to pound the rock as they face one of the better secondaries in the NFL which is giving up fewer than 200 yds passing per game and could make life difficult for Tua. The Dolphins playing at home and coming off a bye should win this game unless they get into self-destruct mode.
Dolphins win 24-13
JUK, in response to cyberflea, wants a couple of tackles to go with Olave.
Yeah Olave or one of their two young tackles (Banks and Fuaga) to replace Austin Jackson. Ruiz is a really good guard too. I like their D but not sure I would take any of them over the above
Dave21 likes their tackle, pass rusher, and a new backup for Tua.
Not a lot of talent there, bunch of good players past their primes. I would take Banks Jr and probably take a run at Chase Young and see if we couldn’t round him back into the beast he was. He is only 26. I liked the thought of Tyler Slough as well, let him play behind Tua one more year. Wilson ain’t the answer.
rdusmc86 sees Olave as a solid replacement for Hill and the Dolphins winning it by a TD.
Olave could replace Tyreek. Prediction: I think we’ll take 17-10 in a defensive game with 2+ TO’s on both sides.
SuperG! does NOT want any of the Saints QBs.
I know the weekly popular answer to this question is the other team’s QB but if they gave that answer this week they get bonked on the head.
phinsfan8373 is another on board with Olave. Has Miami winning if they play as well as they can.
Well if we play good football amd run the ball and no turnovers we will win easily but if not it could go either way I think id take Olave to replace hill GO PHINS
NCSurferMike is also on the Olave bandwagon, has the Phins winning by 10, Achane going off again, and Tua doing Tua things.
Steal Olave
Fins 27-17
Achane 150+ total yds
Tua gets concussed
SlayerNation1 says maybe bring in Jordan as a good locker-room leader, unless McDaniel sticks around and has Miami pulling this one out by a TD.
NO is as bad as projected in the preseason. As far as players, maybe Cam Jordan as a locker room guy for a total rebuild.
If Mike is still the HC, no Veteran locker room guys, because Mike relies too heavily on them to do the parenting.
MIA 27 NO 20
I would expect MIA to not look as sharp as they should and let NO hang around.
This will be an hideous TV product. You have Chris Myers/Schlereth trying to fill air time with banter (a lot of Schlereth over-pronouncing every word), a very serene, half vacant HRS.
That’s our selection of answers and insights this evening. As usual, I would like to thank each of you who took the time to read and answer our question of the day. Please be sure to join us tomorrow afternoon for our Saints @ Dolphins live thread.
