3 Up and 3 Down
The Phinsider — ... 3. Channing Crowder - It's rare that a player who was drafted in the 3rd round of the draft but has already recorded two 100 tackle seasons in his first four years gets as scrutinized as Channing has been.  But despite his solid play, Crowder hasn't produced many of those critical "game-changing" plays that fans want to see from their star inside linebacker.  Through his first four years, Crowder has recorded just 1.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries.  He also still has a tendency to run himself out of plays by taking ...

Crowning the Patriots: Relax, the season hasn't even started
Pats Pulpit — ... Miami linebackers Joey Porter and Channing Crowder are right...sort of.  Now, before you banish me to the stocks at Old Sturbridge Village, hear me out.  I think they're both a bit too outspoken for my tastes and they need to ACT like Divisional Champions rather then TELL everyone they're Divisional Champions: Porter, named the Dolphins' Most Valuable Player along with quarterback Chad Pennington, said he couldn't understand how the Patriots, especially Randy Moss and ...

Rex Ryan responds to Channing Crowder's comments
The Phinsider — You'll remember that last week, Dolphins inside linebacker Channing Crowder openly spoke about new Jets head coach Rex Ryan and his continuous string of obnoxious remarks.  Said Crowder: "Oh, he's going crazy. He's going absolutely nuts. I know it's his first chance to be a head coach, and I know he's excited about life. But, like I said, I've never played a football game in June in my whole life. So congratulations to him. He's the OTA, the OTA Super Bowl winner." Well, Ryan wasted no ...

Crowder putting an end to the trash talk...for now
The Phinsider — The past few days have been rather entertaining for early June, haven't they?  But the verbal sparring between Dolphins LB Channing Crowder and Jets head coach Rex Ryan will likely slow down now - at least from Crowder's end. Over the past few days, we've heard a lot from these two - which you can read about here and here.  But we aren't likely to hear any more from Crowder.  Channing told the Miami Herald that he was finished with this: "This is over. I'm done with this ...

Around the AFC East, Week 4: Miami Dolphins
Pats Pulpit — Here we go, gang.  To start off this weeks installment of Around the AFC East, we first chat it up with Matty I from The Phinsider who gives us a Dolphins' fan viewpoint on the "trash talking" coming out of Miami. Both Channing Crowder and Joey Porter have been very vocal about the Dolphins' status as Divisional Champions with Porter stating, "The road to the AFC East title goes through Miami."  Do Miami fans feel the same way?  Are Crowder and Porter ...

Gang Green Nation — ... into the coaching game – whether it’s in Miami or anywhere else. While I agree a return seems unlikely, I wouldn't be shocked to see Parcells on a Miami sideline at some point. The man loves coaching. I doubt it would be for more than a year or two, but I could see him coming back to try and catch lightning in a bottle once more and enhance his legacy. Be sure to head over to The Phinsider to check out my take on Rex Ryan's war of words with Channing Crowder.

Around The AFC East: New York Jets
The Phinsider — ... Matty I: I know we spoke about Rex Ryan a few weeks back, but since there are some new "developments" I wanted to bring him up again. I'll be honest - I've never seen a head coach do as much "trash talking" as I've seen Rex Ryan do this offseason. And it's not so much the stuff about not backing down to New England - or "kissing Belichick's rings" that bothers me. But the attacking of players - saying Channing Crowder is "tatted up" and that if he was younger, he would "handle him myself" - really baffles me. Aren't head coaches supposed to be ...

QUICK HITS -I'm not concerned at all about Pat White's early struggles.  He's learning a new offense and it's going to take time.  Please get off his back, everybody. -Channing Crowder has done a lot of talking over the past week or so.  ...

Around The AFC East: Buffalo Bills
The Phinsider — ... position that has to be most concerning in Buffalo is, has been, and will remain quarterback. My Take: Straight and to the point.  Brian speaks the truth here.  Good teams usually have good quarterback play.  You don't need a great QB - but you need a consistent one.  Edwards has been very far from consistent and, like we've said in the past, this is his make-or-break season in Buffalo. Be sure to head over to BR to read a little Channing Crowder talk.

Miami Dolphins Miami and New England were essentially neck and neck for me, but I'm putting Miami second because of Joey Porter.  As much as I'd like to see him absolutely bulldozed by Eric Wood on a nice toss sweep next season, Porter can flat out play.  He's the playmaking presence in an otherwise solid but unspectacular trio of linebackers. Channing Crowder can play, but he's hampered a bit by the fact that he's ...

The main problem with Miami's pass defense has been stopping the opposing tight ends.  Tony Gonzalez and Dallas Clark each had very big games against Miami.  And Antonio Gates didn't have a big game, but made key plays when it mattered most.  The main culprits?  Gibril Wilson, Yeremiah Bell, Channing Crowder, and Akin Ayodele.  Basically, the ...

Dallas Clark went off with 7 catches for 183 yards in Week 2. Antonio Gates had 5 for 64 the next week. This means this week's gameplan is probably going to be Keller heavy.
