Miami Dolphins Fire Offensive Coordinator
The moves came after the Dolphins lost, 38-20, to the Jets on Sunday.
The Jets special teams were on their game once again, starting with kicker Randy Bullock who was flawless on the afternoon with 8 points scored on five extra points and a 41-yard field goal.
That’s a season the Miami faithful won’t soon forget as team lost its first 13 games and finished 1-15 that year.
Current Dolphins quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor will be taking over playcalling duties under Campbell while the organization searches for a new coordinator. He’s a former Nebraska quarterback and the son-in-law of Mike Sherman, who coincidentally was sacked as the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator two years ago and replaced by Lazor.
Campbell certainly isn’t the first to point out the lack of balance on offense for the Dolphins, but, then, you’d have to be blind not to pick it up. Taylor will inherit an offense that is second to last in third-down conversion percentage and last in rushing attempts.
“On Monday, head coach Todd Bowles said he didn’t think Pryor was celebrating Tannehill’s injury and that the rift between Pryor and Tannehill was “… just miscommunication”. “He’s very detail-oriented when he’s planning stuff”.
“That’s a neat thing for me when my career’s over with – that’s why I wanted to keep the ball at the end of the game and put that one in the trophy case”, Fitzpatrick said of his 100 start. We’re not going to taunt a person who’s down.
Through the air, Ryan Fitzpatrick had a whale of a game; completing 60 percent of his passes (22-for-37) on his way to a 351-yard day, to go along with his four touchdowns, earning a respectable 118.9 QBR.
Revis missed the Jets’ win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday with a concussion, so it is unclear if he will be able to play against Beckham and the Giants.
While the Jets try to string together a few wins to stay in the playoff hunt, the snap count between Davis and Henderson is worth keeping an eye on as it could play a role in shaping the position moving forward.
At the final horn, the Jets took this game 38-20.
NOWHERE TO RUN: New York’s defense held the Dolphins to just 12 yards on nine rushes. Just manage the game for us.
Matthews was hurt on a hard hit from Calvin Pryor, who celebrated the play several yards away. They were 7-7 on December 24, 2011, and appeared to be heading into halftime down 7-3 – until Eli Manning connected with Victor Cruz for a 99-yard touchdown.
Dolphins’ QB Ryan Tannehill told reporters after the game that he didn’t mind the hit, but celebrating while the player is still down was “classless”. A 40-yard completion to Landry led to Landry’s 5-yard TD catch to make it 21-7.
Outstanding is the only word that comes to mind when trying to describe the New York Jets run defense. Running back Stevan Ridley (two carries for one yard) now has zero yards on nine carries this season.
Darr, the Dolphins’ star of the day, averaged 45 yards on his eight punts and had an onside kick recovered.
