Jags cut Storm Johnson, he would def be a player I'd bring in and find out how quick he can learn a playbook. Coud be a nice up grade to gil and lamike, could handle some csrries if needed until Ajayi got back.
Those hips are always gonna limit his impact and your ability to play him every down...unfortunately...i like everything about him otherwise but theres not a damn thing we can do about it at mike
give and take
I hope Hazel makes it
Ozzy rules!!
Is it not something you can work on? Seriously asking. I dont know. Zt didn't have great hip flexibility either did he? I was pretty young during zt days so that wasn't something I looked for back then. If vigil could be 3/4 the player ZT was we'd have ourselves a good starting LB.
The Dolphins were supposedly interested in Mason Foster during free agency weren't they?
The Dolphins explored middle linebackers this offseason, but the Jets’ David Harris never made it to free agency; Mason Foster said Miami finished second behind Chicago in the pursuit for him; and the Dolphins passed on new Patriot Brandon Spikes because of vulnerabilities in pass coverage.
I hope Hazel makes it

You would hide him best in zone which miami plays plenty of with the lbs but the mike is responsible for the middle of the field primarily and as a result deals with a lot of quick change of direction cause the space allows for more 2 way goes etc...its the quick change of direction where you will exploit him
If you get him isolated in coverage by scheme or formation you can do a lot of damage...as a tackler hes off to the side a lot also cause he doesnt always square up the target cause hes straight linish and has to break down...which leaves him at times having to dive especially in space
Instincts and awareness wise he looks the part...not zach thomas level instincts mind you but definitely the best of our mike options...i think you could hide his hips more at strong provided he can handle the poa responsibilities
He reads his keys well inside...
But a good oc is gonna iso that if you put it in man coverage be it out the backfield coming thru the middle of the formation and out cutting to space with vertical clear outs elsewhere or in the flat...you run a vertical straight line you do vigil a favor...even wheel routes he probably is able to undercut the back down the field on provided he doesnt take a poor angle
so when is the deadline? tomorrow isn't it? for final roster
