2015 Roster Freak Out - Week 5

The RFO is really heating up now with back-to-back wins and its best performance yet in 2015 thanks to Allen Ferns, Moby Fleener, and the Settlers of Catanzaro! Bear Down, Farts Are Funny, Wheres McKelvey, and Nickel Blitz all got beat by the reject squad.

Speaking of reject squads, I read an interesting article (via National Football Post) about how Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill treats his practice squad. Evidently he turned the ball over a couple times in practice, and then erupted at the practice squad defenders, saying "Enjoy your practice squad paycheck, enjoy your practice squad trophy." The report goes on to say that this kind of tension has been there for weeks.

First off, it's pretty sad that the alleged franchise QB turns the ball over so often in practice that he can't emotionally contain himself, but that's not all. It got so bad that ex-Dolphins Head Coach Joe Philbin told the practice squad to take it easy on Tannehill and not shake his confidence further.

What a hilarious comparison.

Former WR Donte Stallworth chimed in on the story, contrasting Tannehill's behavior with Tom Brady's treatment of the Patriots practice squad, stating that Brady would actually pay practice squad players who intercepted him.

This is back-to-back weeks where other NFL teams are just completely out-classing the Miami Dolphins, one of which was the New York Jets. Who's next, the Cleveland Browns?

QB: Alex Spliff - He's so noodle-armed, I must be high.
WR: Marlin Brown - Floundering WR will hopefully get a few extra looks with Steve Smith Sr. out.
RB: Blandre Williams - Can't wait to watch him rush 5 times for 15 yards... with a TD?
TE: Jared Rook - He plays like one, but he's due for a TD at this point.
W/T: Jamison Chowder - Redskins will have trouble keeping up with Atlanta on road; airing it out a lot to this guy lately.
W/R: Keith Mumford & Sons - Mumphery is my super sleeper of the week; Texans WRs are dropping like flies, and could be a shootout against Indy.
W/R: C.J. Flanderson - Stupid Flanders... son!
K: Connor Barf - He was cut by the Bucs, but he worked his ass off and now he's playing for the Bucs again. How demoralizing.
DEF: Fatlanta Alcons - Dan Quinn seems like the real deal as head coach; Redskins QBs are turnover machines.

RESULTS:
QB: Alex Spliff - 13.34 points
WR: Marlin Brown - 0 points
RB: Blandre Williams - 0 points
TE: Jared Rook - 0.8 points
W/T: Jamison Chowder - 7.7 points
W/R: Keith Mumford & Sons - 2.3 points
W/R: C.J. Flanderson - 4 points
K: Connor Barf - 14 points
DEF: Fatlanta Alcons - 13 points
TOTAL: 55.14 points

Yikes, this squad was completely undone by the ineptitude of Marlin, Blandre and Rook.
