Instant analysis: Quick thoughts on edge rusher Chop Robinson, the Miami Dolphins’ first-round pick in 2024 NFL draft

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 26, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers on the Miami Dolphins‘ selection of edge rusher Chop Robinson in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. Chris Perkins, Dolphins Columnist I like the selection of an edge rusher. This is a solid pick, but unspectacular. Chop Robinson is regarded as someone with a quick first step but his immediate impact remains a question. Still, Miami needed an edge rusher and it got one. No argument here. David Furones, Dolphins Writer Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has said edge defender is his favorite position — a bit of a shocking admission for...

The Dolphins selected Penn State edge defender Chop Robinson with the No. 21 pick in Thursday’s first round.

By BILL TROCCHI (Associated Press) ATLANTA — Michael Harris II doubled home Ronald Acuña Jr. in the 10th inning and the Atlanta Braves edged the Miami Marlins 4-3 after blowing a two-run lead in the ninth Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep.

Luis Arraez, Bryan De La Cruz and Jazz Chisholm Jr. all singled to load the bases. Braves first baseman Matt Olson committed a fielding...

Winderman’s view: Heat turn the long ball into a lifeline against Celtics

BOSTON — Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 111-101 NBA playoff victory over the Boston Celtics: – No, it’s not as simple as Erik Spoelstra assembling his players at Tuesday’s practice and Wednesday morning’s shootaround at TD Garden and telling them to make 3-pointers. – (Typically coaches do not demand, “Do not miss!”) – But in this series, to be competitive while shorthanded, the Heat need to junk it up. – Typically, that has the Heat trying to play in the mud, the type of slow-paced defensive grind that makes you wonder what else is on. – This time, they recognized...

Heat shove their way back into series vs. Celtics with emphatic 111-101 victory fueled by Herro, Adebayo

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 25, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

BOSTON – The Miami Heat, at least this injury-depleted version of the Miami Heat, could not have asked for more, could not have scripted it better. There were 3-pointers falling at a record pace, silky Bam Adebayo mid-range jumpers nestling through the net when relief points were needed, Tyler Herro sizzling as both set-up man and scorer, and a defense that reminded what Erik Spoelstra’s team can look like at its best. And, through it all, still a fight to the finish. Going against Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum can have that effect. So no humbling Game 2 rout in this best-of-seven Eastern Conference...

Carter Verhaeghe wins it in overtime for Panthers, Florida takes 2-0 series lead vs. Lightning

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 24, 2024. Posted in Florida Panthers, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, NHL, Sports.

By TIM REYNOLDS SUNRISE — Carter Verhaeghe lifted a backhander just under the crossbar 2:59 into overtime, and the Florida Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 on Tuesday night for a 2-0 lead in their NHL first-round playoff series. It was the fifth OT winner in Verhaeghe’s career, coming on a play where Matthew Tkachuk got the puck to Anton Lundell — who found Verhaeghe. He waited for Tampa Bay goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy to commit, then put the puck over him to end it. Sam Bennett, who left with an injury in the second period when he appeared to get hit by teammate Brandon Montour’s slap...
