McDaniel, Dolphins expect improved Giants offense; Miami also has protection issues

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:27:31 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Mike McDaniel watched quarterback Daniel Jones scramble as the New York Giants’ offensive line gave up 11 sacks in a loss to Seattle on Monday night.The Miami Dolphins’ coach understands how easily things could turn around for his team’s next opponent.“From my perspective, I see an offense that’s close,” McDaniel said Wednesday. “Eleven sacks with the completion percentage that (Daniel Jones) had, it felt like to me when I was watching that it was either completion or sack. Which means the way I see it … the difference between sack and completion is that finite. If you take the sacks out, he’d probably have a pretty high quarterback rating because the completion percentage was high.”That’s why McDaniel doesn’t expect to easily replicate the Seahawks’ success when Miami (3-1) hosts New York (1-3) on Sunday.The Dolphins could use a dominant performance from their defense, which has been inconsistent at getting pressu...

Healey responded to questions last week on how veterans from across the country coming for the Army-Navy football game at Gillette were being kicked out of hotel ...

Halloween ban in Northboro schools met with boos

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:27:31 GMT

Boo! Elementary students in Northboro may not be allowed to dress up as Power Rangers and princesses, nor listen to the Monster Mash, at school this Halloween.That’s because district officials in the small town outside of Worcester initially decided to remove anything Halloween-related during school hours, including the popular holiday parade, in order to be more inclusive of all students, they say.But after hearing parents screech over the horror the past few days, Superintendent Gregory Martineau has agreed to reconsider his decision, which reeks of tricks, not treats.“I understand that the Halloween parade was a wonderful memory-making experience for many students and families,” Martineau said at a School Committee meeting Wednesday. “However, this is not the case for many students.”Martineau did not immediately respond to a Herald request for comment Thursday.If there is an in-school ban on Halloween, the parent-teacher organization and other community organizations will be task...

Orioles facing tough rotation decision ahead of ALDS, with 2 open spots for 3 pitchers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:27:31 GMT

Manager Brandon Hyde has been tight-lipped about the tough decisions the Orioles have to make ahead of the American League Division Series this weekend.None are more important (or more challenging) than how to sort out the starting rotation.Instead of the standard five-man rotation — or the six-man system Baltimore employed for the majority of the season’s final two months — the Orioles have to cut their starting corps down to four. All five starters in Baltimore’s rotation ended the regular season pitching well, making the decision on whom to leave out a difficult one.Hyde said that depth — perhaps the Orioles roster’s greatest strength — is a good thing to have entering the postseason.“To be able to have starting pitchers be available out of the bullpen is a plus,” Hyde said during the team’s workout at Camden Yards on Wednesday. “Starting pitchers normally have multiple pitches to go to, instead of just ...
