The Dolphins (4-7) were shut out in the first half and have scored fewer than 21 points in each of their past five games.Lazor was in his second season with the Dolphins, while Taylor is in his fourth year.I just felt like it was time to move in another direction, Campbell said. Lazor is the third coach fired by the Dolphins this season as the team fired head coach Joe Philbin and defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle after week four. If it is going to be Douglas, he and Tannehill have to work on their exchange, under center and, more importantly, in shotgun, throughout the week. “We still have to make sure we get off the field and keep continuing to improve until the clock runs out”. You’re not noticing a guy is down.

Wide receiver Rishard Matthews has reportedly suffered multiple broken ribs after being hit by Jets’ safety Calvin Pryor in the first quarter.
The Dolphins play host to Baltimore on Sunday, and Taylor said he’ll streamline and simplify an offense that ranks 27th in the National Football League in points at 18.5 points per game, down from 22.6 last season. He’s worked under Lazor and said he has a lot of respect for him.
While Taylor remains Miami’s quarterbacks coach in title, he’s the de facto offensive coordinator, calling the plays on Sundays.
“These are unusual circumstances for me”, Taylor said. Even though they are last in the AFC East, Campbell had to make a change. Miami had gained only 81 yards by halftime.
Fitzpatrick, making the 100th start of his 11-season career, said the Jets sensed the critical nature of this and every game remaining. Miami should strongly invest in the idea of regathering the troops and resting their most important players.
Kelly, in his third year with Philadelphia after a very successful run in the Pac-12 with OR, said, “I have never spoken to anybody from USC…” Fitzpatrick had a breakout performance, throwing for 277 yards and four touchdowns to lead an impressive offensive attack that was equal parts explosive runs and red-zone strikes. “We got whipped”, said interim head coach Dan Campbell.
The Jets might have snapped their two-game losing streak, but there are still legitimate concerns in the run-up to their showdown with the Giants on Sunday. At just 39 years of age, Dan has only five years of coaching experience, and they have all been with the Dolphins.

While New York’s defense could hardly contain Jarvis Landry (165 yards), it tightened up the clamps on the money down (third down, for the uninitiated). Jeremy Kerley, who under Bowles has been demoted from starting at receiver to being primarily a special-teams player, then shimmied up the left sideline for a 58-yard return to the Miami 25. The bad news? Well, they allowed 137 yards rushing. They downed the hopeless Miami Dolphins, 38-20, as Ryan Fitzpatrick threw four touchdown passes, including two to Brandon Marshall. Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw will miss the rest of this season after injuring his wrist Sunday against Tampa Bay…
