MIAMI -- New Miami Dolphins offensive co-ordinator Bill Lazor says he can help head coach Joe Philbin win games and some job security. Lazor said he accepted the job Wednesday because of Philbin, even though his new boss status is shaky after two so-so seasons. "Right now my future and his future are together," Lazor said. "Im in it with him. I choose to compete and make an impact and to be a difference-maker, and thats why Im here." Lazor was hired Wednesday by Philbin after one season as quarterbacks coach with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he helped develop second-year pro Nick Foles into the NFLs top-rated passer. The Dolphins also had a second-year quarterback in Ryan Tannehill. Foles threw 27 touchdown passes and two interceptions, while Tannehill threw 24 and 17. Lazor said he studied Tannehill on video before accepting the job. "Im really excited to work with him," Lazor said. "I see a lot of ability." The Dolphins ranked 27th in the NFL in yards, finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year. The Eagles ranked second in total yards and offensive points, went 10-6 and won the NFC East. "A lot of the things that led to that are going to have a great impact in what I believe works going forward," Lazor said. Lazor was offensive co-ordinator at the University of Virginia from 2010 to 2012, and he has also worked for the Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons. He replaces Mike Sherman, who was fired last week after two seasons with Miami and was Tannehills head coach at Texas A&M. The Dolphins are also searching for a general manager to replace Jeff Ireland, who departed last week after six seasons. On Wednesday they announced the completion of an interview with Brian Xanders, senior personnel executive with the Detroit Lions. Five candidates interviewed earlier. Considered along with Lazor for the offensive co-ordinator job were Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo, who was hired Tuesday as offensive co-ordinator of the New York Giants, and former Washington Redskins offensive co-ordinator Kyle Shanahan. Lazor said he and Philbin hit it off during the interview process. They had known each other casually for years. "Bill is an accomplished coach and will be a great addition to our coaching staff," Philbin said in a statement. "Bill has been instrumental in helping players reach their full potential, as players and people, at both the college and professional level. He also has a proven track record of success working with a wide variety of offences." In addition to the Eagles Chip Kelly, Lazor has coached under Dan Reeves, Joe Gibbs and Mike Holmgren. "The No. 1 thing that was common was that they had a vision of how offensive football should look," Lazor said. "Every day we went out to practice, they made sure what they saw on the field was heading toward that vision. Its the job of the coaches to keep pushing in that direction." Lazor was noncommittal regarding other possible changes in Philbins offensive staff. "He and I have not had all of our conversations about the structure of the staff," Lazor said. "Thats something that will be handled going forward." Some sort of shakeup was inevitable after the Dolphins scored once in their final 24 possessions while losing their final two games to blow a potential playoff berth. Miami allowed a franchise-record 58 sacks, and off-season upgrades will focus on an offensive line depleted by the teams midseason bullying scandal. The Dolphins might be in the market for a running back, too. Lamar Miller scored two touchdowns, the lowest total for a player leading the Dolphins in rushing since 1980. Miami threw the ball 65 per cent of the time, third-highest in the NFL. The Eagles threw it 53 per cent of the time, sixth-lowest. Darren Collison Jersey .

Leaf Jersey . -- The Washington Redskins coaching staff distanced itself from other coaches Thursday by siding with ownership -- and not the players -- in the NFLs labour dispute.Each week, TSN.ca Fantasy Editor Scott Cullen and NFL Editors Ben Fisher and Mike Hetherington discuss three hot fantasy football topics. Which recent breakout RB is more legitimate, Mark Ingram or Denard Robinson? Cullen: I’m going to go with Ingram being more legitimate. It’s taken him three unimpressive NFL seasons to get where he is this year, and if the Saints could be convinced to give Ingram feature-back touches, then that should mean a good prognosis for the future, both this season and beyond. Saying that, I’m more excited about Robinson, who has made the transition from college quarterback into a suddenly valuable fantasy running back. Both guys are 24, so they should have years of strong production ahead of them, but the safer play is Ingram, who plays on a better team and has more track record at the position. Fisher: Ingram’s had the best two weeks of his career and convinced a lot of owners he’s worth starting the rest of the year. But has he convinced Sean Payton? Ingram’s lone impediment could be losing carries to Pierre Thomas and Khiry Robinson as they get healthier. Still, I feel Ingram’s the safer choice over Robinson because of the offences each is in. Even if Ingram is splitting carries three ways, the Saints have nearly three times as many touchdowns on the ground as Jacksonville. Hetherington: I’ll go with the explosive play of “shoelace” Robinson, simply because he has the coaching staff fully behind him. Ingram is likely to start sharing touches once again when Khiry Robinson and Pierre Thomas return from injury, while Robinson is firmly entrenched as the No. 1 in Jacksonville. Although Ingram is the more talented back, Robinson is the safer play and therefore the more legitimate RB1. Who is the better fantasy WR, DeSean Jackson or his replacement as No. 1 in Philadelphia, Jeremy Maclin? Cullen: Up to this point in the season, it was Maclin, who has been one of the top handful of fantasy wideouts, but the worm may be turning in this equation. Jackson’s first half was spread over three quarterbacks, with Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy filling in when Robert Griffin III got hurt. RGIII is back and should be a safer bet to keep Jackson productive. On the other hand, Maclin has racked up most of his yardage with Nick Foles at quarterback and while Maclin had a great game last week, even once Mark Sanchez came into the game, this is still Mark Sanchez and I wouldn’t want to have my wide receiver value tied to a quarterback with Sanchez’s history. Fisher: A question muddied somewhat by each players’ unccertain quarterback situation throughout the year, I’ll go with the guy in the better offence.dddddddddddd While they have almost identical receiving yards totals, Maclin has twice as many touchdowns as Jackson in the first half of the season. This answer changes quickly if both Robert Griffin and Mark Sanchez revert to their 2012 selves. Hetherington: Jackson likely has higher upside each week as a deep threat but I’ll go with the safer start of Maclin, who’s been a machine over the past two weeks. Maclin is clearly the top option in the passing game in Philadelphia, while Jackson is fighting for catches with Pierre Garcon. The current Eagle also gets the edge in touchdowns; he’s doubled Jackson’s output so far this season (8 to 4). Though I give Maclin the slight edge, both are legitimate fantasy WR1s. Can you imagine if they both were still in the city of brotherly love? That would be what Larry Fitzgerald calls a ‘champagne problem.’ Were the past two weeks just a hot streak for Ben Roethlisberger or has he proven he’s a legit QB1? Cullen: Can it be both? Obviously, the last two weeks are so far beyond reasonable expectations for a starting quarterback – historic, even – and that’s inflated Roethlisberger’s value. At the same time, it’s also some evidence that the Steelers’ passing game has found a rhythm, going beyond the pitch-and-catch between Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown that marked their early-season attack. So, don’t expect six touchdowns every week, but Big Ben should be a viable QB1 the rest of the way. Having the Jets and Titans up the next two weeks, even on the road, can help Roethlisberger solidify that status. Fisher: I’m going to need a couple more six touchdown weeks to rank Roethlisberger as a legit QB1. Had Big Ben put up even just really good weeks (25 points or so) he’d fall roughly 30 points in the rankings and be hovering right around the Top 10 mark, not good enough for a QB still not through his bye week. Bouyed by the past two weeks Roethlisberger should finish 2014 as a QB1, but don’t necessarily expect Top 10 production from the Steelers QB the rest of the way. Hetherington: I think this is a hot streak for Big Ben – he’s probably not going to throw six touchdowns in another game this year - but I also believe he’s emerged as a QB1. The Steelers offence as a whole has been on the upswing in recent weeks and adding deep threat Martavis Bryant has done wonders for Roethlisberger. Facing the Jets and Titans before their Week 12 bye, don’t expect Ben to cool down any time soon.
