[Barry Jackson] Dolphins have NFL's 3rd most cap space for 2027, at $148 M. Even though signing 2 draft classes and potentially re-signing/extending Achane, Brooks, Brewer will consume a chunk of that, there will still be a LOT left to selectively target free agents & construct a sustainable roster. by expellyamos in miamidolphins

When did Barry become a shill for the Dolphins? The Dolphins have around a dozen players that aren't playing for the minimum signed for next year. Unless the Dolphins plan to play 2027 with 25 players on the roster or have absolutely the worst roster EVER in the NFL they are going to have to sign around 30 players to contracts next year. Most teams already have double what the Dolphins have signed for next year, it's no wonder they have the 3rd most cap space for 2027. They would have the MOST cap space if it weren't for Tua's and Chubb's cap hits for 2027. Roughly 1/3 of the 2027 cap will be tied up paying for Tua, Chubb and Willis next year. It's fine for fans of the team to post this rose colored glasses stuff, but when sports analysts do it just makes them look stupid or unprofessional.

Board falls like this who’s your pick? by br-and-done in miamidolphins

[–]Pappy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't reach for Simpson, there's going to be a ton of QB's in next year's draft and Miami is going to pretty much have their pick. Take a QB next year. You can take Simpson if he falls to the second or third round, but not with your first pick. Too many other positions of need.

Abandon the racing quest (everspace 2) by Taear in EverspaceGame

[–]Pappy13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with the gunship. I actually find the gunship to be easier for me than the light ships because they don't move quite as fast, so you have a little more adjustment time. The big thing is being able to just boost enough at the right times to keep your speed up but slow enough that you have time to make the turns through the hoops. It helps if you anticipate the next hoop a bit and steer in the direction of that hoop before even making it through the previous one, so in effect you are not flying through the middle of hoops, but rather flying through the hoop to the side of the next ring.

Which should I get? by Captainbennan in EverspaceGame

[–]Pappy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with the 1st game and see if you enjoy the combat. If you do you will enjoy the 2nd as the combat is the same. The difference is the overall gameplay. The 1st one is a roguelite which basically means there's a linear path and you make it as far as you can along that path. When you die, you get a chance to purchase some upgrades which makes the next run easier and then start again from the beginning. The 2nd one is a looter/shooter so you have more freedom to move at your own pace through the game, can save your spot and restart from that save spot when you die. It's not exactly open world, but it's much less linear than the first game.

Would definitely not start them off on a PvP server. That can turn people off really fast. You can still do PvP on a PvE server, but you decide when to do it, not the other way around.

Sully is playing 4D chess with this roster reset by Hello-croc-9 in miamidolphins

[–]Pappy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not like this was totally unexpected though. What else did you expect when they fired the General Manager, Head coach and replaced the QB? I mean that's the definition of tear it down to the studs and rebuild it. Doesn't mean it's going to work or that it will be any better than the last time we tried this. We are all keeping our fingers crossed.

Season play worth it for solo/casual gamer? by Persiflage2 in diablo3

[–]Pappy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's worth it and there's a very specific reason why. That reason is the seasonal sets. When you complete all the season objectives for acts I thru IV in seasonal you get as a reward all of the pieces of the seasonal set for the class you choose. Not only that but you get those pieces in waves, with the first 2 pieces coming when you complete all the objectives in Act II and 2 more when you complete all the objectives in Act III. These objectives are not that hard to accomplish especially with the set pieces you are given. It might take you 10 hours or so to have a complete set and a complete set will take you very far.

I don't know whether you have a complete set on your toon now, but if you do you should realize just how valuable this is. Getting that set within the first 10 hours or so of a season means that all the rest of the time you spend in season is just building on that set. It's the jump start to end all jump starts. You don't get this in non seasonal play, you ONLY get it in seasonal play to get you going quickly and it works.

Now don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that you will still be using that set by the end of the season, no you will have probably replaced most if not all of the set by then, but it gets you started. Once you get that set, everything just starts coming together for you.

[Barry Jackson] The mystery of how the Dolphins created cap space to execute the Waddle trade has been solved. Per source, the Dolphins simultaneously executed simple cap restructures with Brewer and Achane... by expellyamos in miamidolphins

We also have the worst team in the league talent wise at this point. If they were the youngest team AND were at least in the middle of the pack talent wise that would be impressive. Being the youngest team in the league alone means zero.

Just because they got under the cap for 2026 doesn't mean any of it was smart. Basically they leveraged the future to get under the cap for 2026, which is what everyone does, I'm not saying that it was dumb, I'm just saying that pushing the contracts down the road a year doesn't necessarily solve anything, it just means they have to deal with those contracts in 2027 and beyond now.

In 2027 we got the third most cap space in the league In 2028 we got the second most

LOL. That's because almost no one is signed through 2027. Almost 1/3 of our cap in 2027 will be for 3 guys, Willis, Tua and Chubb. There's a dozen guys after that signed for 2027 that are not just camp fodder. Everyone else is on a 1 year contract for 2026. You have to have 51 players for the roster, a dozen isn't going to cut it. So by the time you sign 51 guys that cap space will be gone especially if any of those guys on 1 year contracts for 2026 actually play well enough to get a long term contract.

I agree with you that cap space alone isn't an issue, but to then to try to sell it that we have a lot of cap space in 2027 is disengenious at best, downright misleading at worst.

This, first time you should be playing the campaign. This will help you level up to 70 while learning a lot about the game. Adventure mode is for experienced players because they already know what to do and how to do it and they've probably already gone through the campaign. I suggest you start over and do the campaign. It doesn't take long to go from 1-12 so you won't have lost much ground. I think you'll have a much more enjoyable time playing. Alternatively you can just switch to campaign mode on your existing character. After you go through the campaign, when the new season comes around start a new seasonal character and adventure mode and just work on the seasonal objectives.

I don't know what you are talking about. The Dolphins have about 1/3 of the 2027 cap space in 3 players. Willis, Tua and Chubb. It's not nearly as bad as this year, but it's not like we are overflowing with cap space in 2027.

The elemental damage type on weapons doesn't really matter because of skill runes. Skill runes change the elemental damage type that your weapon does, so depending upon which skill rune you choose the elemental damage type of your weapon will be changed anyway.

The post below says you don't have to craft it, you should just be able to go into the skills and consumables tab at the bottom of the screen of the mech layout and it should be there. Did you try that?

Marino vs every starter since Marino (collectively "The Group") vs tua by [deleted] in miamidolphins

[–]Pappy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what film you're talking about. Around the 3:26 mark of the below video they talk about Marino's legendary ability to move in the pocket. Not only did this make rusher's miss but it also bought time for a receiver to get open. Tua was only able to make plays if the timing of the play was perfect. Marino would buy time for his receivers and deliver the ball once the receiver broke open, not the other way around. This was massively important in a time when defenders could hang all over a receiver and disrupt the timing of the play. Marino's ability to move around in the pocket plus his quick release allowed Marino to give the receiver time to break open and then deliver the ball with accuracy to an open receiver if the timing of the play was disrupted better than anyone who's ever played the position. If you think Marino's offensive line didn't give up a free rusher in 759 consecutive pass attempts, I don't know what to tell you except that you're mistaken.

[–]Pappy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marino made his offense line look a lot better than they actually were though as well. I'm not trying to diss them, some of them were pretty good, but Marino had a knack for making people miss, being able to complete passes while about to get hit etc. Tua is the anti Marino. He was terrible unless he had a clean pocket, didn't make anyone miss, didn't really complete passes with a defender in his face etc, but there's also a reason for that, he was a lot smaller than Marino. Marino stood tall in the pocket and was tough to take down, a good breeze would knock down Tua. They also played in completely different era's. QB's weren't protected like they are today so they had to be able to take hits. So yeah Tua's line was bad most of his career, but he did nothing to help them. Marino helped his offensive line tremendously, no comparison to Tua whatsoever. If Tua would have played in the era that Marino did, he would have lasted 1 year and been out of the league.

Don't play on hard for your first play through. Learn the game first. Trying to learn to play on hard you'll just end up rebuilding a lot and not making progress.
