Miami’s Impact Players

Danny said:
The one player that could have a great impact imo is Parker but injuries and now not having Tannehill hurts his chances. Landry can catch 10 passes but he might just get 80 yards and no TD's while Parker is the type that can have 5 catches and two could go for TD's. Stills as well. We're not talking about who's the better WR here but who's the impact player. This season nobody on this team has made an impact on offense and only Suh on defense.

Ozzy rules!!

Parker is a JAG he’s nothing special after the catch.

What Landry has done very well during his career is move the chains. No, he isnt going to score many 80 yard TDs, but he damn sure plays a big part in keeping your offense on the field.

They said the same thing about Welker when he was here. The problem was we didn't have the QB to put it on him every time on the option route.
Once he got paired with Brady and Manning scoring TD's wasn't an issue. Henne was too inconsistent in the red zone to make it work like Brady and Manning did. You need a player to move between the 20's. I never understood why some downgrade for it.

I think you're right in that the QB is the limiting factor for any offense. Think of how Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady function with regard to pressure -- specifically how they evade it and often hit receivers downfield for big gains -- and apply that to how a defensive coordinator has to adjust with regard to the assault he places on the offensive line.

Now apply that to lesser QBs, and imagine the freedom that gives defensive coordinators to apply pressure, and how that makes opposing offensive lines look.

Then combine that with often being down on the scoreboard and being forced to pass, which is often the case with lesser QBs, and imagine now what defensive coordinators have the freedom to do.

In the end you have an offensive line that can't help but look like swiss cheese. The defensive talent throughout the league, combined with defensive coordinators' ability to let it run rampant under the above circumstances, would overwhelm just about any offensive line.

Correct. Inaccurate Wins means impact receivers get few chances. Bad play calls mean the same thing. Ajayi, on little evidence, shows how a good OL can make/break can influence a RB

Tannehill (injured)
Suh
Wake
Reshad Jones
Ajayi (traded for nothing but a late 4th)
Landry
Parker (when he plays up to his ability)
Tunsil (would be if he were motivated and performing up to ability)
Pouncey (never fully healthy)
.... that's about it.

Maybe I should just say it is Suh (consistently dominant), Wake (intermittently dominant), Jones (very good), and Landry (often exceptional)

We could use a few more good ones.

Not giving up on Parker or Tunsil yet...or Howard for that matter. Tankersly looks like he could join that group. Hopeful for McMillian coming back from the knee.

If the first one was active to get him the ball, I'd add Stills. He's a legit deep threat. Just wish he would high point the ball rather than basket catch everything.
 
Suh to an extent and maybe Reshad Jones. Really sad and also infuriating for a team with so much invested in players that are average or below average. Team needs an infusion of talent on both sides of the ball. Hopefully they don't waste the high draft picks they are going to have this year.

All that is true about Landry. But Landry can have that talent and ability, while the Miami Dolphins as a team (i.e., the bigger picture than just Landry) nonetheless have the problem of funneling too much of their offense through him because their other skilled position players (including Cutler) are inadequate.

Consequently you can focus on shutting down Landry, which isn't hard to do because shutting down a chain-moving player isn't an extraordinary task, and the bulk of the offense then screeches to a halt.

And this is what's happened this year, as Landry's number of yards per catch has plummeted, as has the Dolphins' offense.

Yep, that's a big part of the reason Gase's offense is so easy to defend against. It is compounded astronomically by the fact that we have a QB that has zero accuracy 20 yards+ downfield.

We have one. His name is Moore.

I hope you're right. I'm pulling for them.

who are they? Who are the current players on the roster right now that opposing coaches worry about game planning for so they don’t let that player beat them or affect the game greatly? I wanna know what people think.
