Miami Dolphins Sack Offensive Coordinator Bill Lazor
Ryan Tannehill had two touchdown passes last week to give him 17 for the season. The team has lost four of their last five games and sits at the cellar of the AFC East with a record of 4-7.
“This season hasn’t been flawless”, Fitzpatrick said. I looked at everything. I feel like offensively we’ve been anemic for five weeks now. And Marshall insisted that “the beard should never come back”.
Dolphins tackle Branden Albert said, “I always told him [Zac Taylor] he’s going to be a future head coach”. Linebacker Nigel Bradham is likely to miss a game with a sprained right ankle. Coach Jeff Fisher said Bailey, 25, was put in a medically induced coma the night before undergoing surgery on Wednesday that lasted more than six hours.
The 5-6 Bills and Raiders, who have both also beaten the Jets, shouldn’t be dismissed.
“Oh my gosh”, Marshall said.
“Players know they’re accountable for what happens in the game”, Taylor said.
A touchdown run by Chris Ivory and field goal by Randy Bullock were matched by touchdown catches by Miami’s Greg Jennings and DeVante Parker to account for the remainder of the scoring in what essentially served as garbage time.
Head coach Joe Philbin was sacked after a blowout loss to the Jets in London earlier this season, and offensive coordinator Bill Lazor was sacked after a blowout loss to the Jets in NY on Sunday.
“There’s nothing I can say that’s going to make that look better”, Campbell said. “Those are the facts”. He threw for just 83 yards in the first half. With the offense clicking, punter Ryan Quigley only had his number called five times, averaging 46.8 yards per punt, including a long of 57 yards and one placed inside Miami’s 20-yard line.
-DT Jordan Phillips (arm/shoulder) left Sunday’s game against the New York Jets but returned.
Miami is 27th in rushing offense (91.7 yards per game) despite being No. 7 in yards per carry (4.6). It was one of the Jets’ best possessions of the season, capped by Smith’s post pattern on which he got a step on Jamar Taylor.
Yes, we are in the midst of another troubling year for the Miami Dolphins.
NOWHERE TO RUN: New York’s defense held the Dolphins to just 12 yards on nine rushes. The Jets swept the Dolphins this season for the first time since 2007 and they needed it in the worst of ways. His incredible 31-yard touchdown rumble in which he shook off multiple Miami defenders was his seventh of the year, a new career high. Fitzpatrick, who is completing 58.5% of his passes with 20 TD and 11 INT, is assured of playing meaningful football in December. Anarumo, promoted from DBs coach after the first loss to the Jets this season, rarely provided Grimes help against Marshall.
NOTES: The Jets also had linebacker Calvin Pace leave with an abdominal injury…. Ivory had a respectable 87 yards on 21 carries, but still hasn’t reached the 100-yard mark since October 18 against Washington.
“I think the biggest thing we were celebrating as a team and as a unit because of what kind of hit it was”. Adding that it is “better than I thought” and that Pouncey could be ready for the Week 13 contest.
