from the 32 to 37....what do you call this week?

Big difference between 4th and 3 vs 4th and 1.

Also a big difference between a 49 and 54 yard FG.

If it's 4th and 1, I run it with the J-Train. Anything else I kick the FG.

If it's a 54-55 yarder, I'll let Tannehill get it on a roll out, even at 4th and 3. I don't trust Carp from that distance, especially in Cincy where it's usually a little windy.

If its the game winning score?
Carpenter.

While he has been bad so far, I cant believe he suddenly cant do it. The guy was 91% at 40 - 49 last season and is still 72% career from that distance.

so 72% of the time it works every time.......

4th & 1 or less, the J train....

Hands down a Tannehill pass. Roll the kid out. If he doesn't see an open man through the air he'll easily pick up three with his legs.

Carpenter. If you can not use him when needed then Miami should look for another kicker. imo.

This. You pay the guy to kick field goals in clutch situations and he needs to shake out of this funk or unfortunately bring in competition.

However, of course it depends on what juncture of the game it is in order to fully decide what to do.

This.

Depends on whether you are up or down, how much time is left, and what the offense has been doing all day. I have defended Carpenter a lot the last few weeks but he has to show something before I would be willing to trot him out there with the game on the line unless we had to. I might go with the Bush run for the element of surprise.

Carpenter. He's in a slump, but he'll get it figured out. Even his short kicks weren't "down the middle" last week as they usually are. Maybe it's the hair;)

I was thinking maybe Philbin needs to fist pump

THE SOURCE OF ALL HIS POWER!!!!

Barry Jackson had a great stat today. Miami is 2-10 since 2009 in games decided by 3 points or less....Carpenter has missed 9 field goals in those games.

I say you kick the fg if its within a range your kicker normally doesnt have trouble with.. A FG = win or lose.. tannehill pass = 1st down or lose where things could be potentially worse even if you get the 1st a false start or holding call sack anything that would back up the kick even more or worse a turnover.

Put it in the hands of your best playmaker... Reggie Bush all the way.

3 weeks ago kick...lose
2 weeks ago kick....lose
Today kick .... Almost lose
Sometimes these guys are just stupid. How many more times are they going to force a kicker who is in a slump to kick from beyond 50 and give the other team late momentum.

Yeah I was perplexed by that decision too. You're D is playing great...just punt and pin them deep if you don't feel confident about going for it.

Carp is in a slump no point in flogging him. Unless u absolutely need it...punt or run a play
