Miami Players Who Could Elevate their Games

[SF Dolphin Fan]

There's some exciting young talent on this football team, and quite a few players who may have the opportunities to elevate their play and get more playing time in 2024. Here's my list.

Achane
Already an outstanding player, the next evolution for him is as a receiver out of the backfield. He has the ability to be dynamic there and wasn't used enough. Don't forget, he can also return kicks.

J. Hill
Hill showed a lot of grit and determination as a run blocker. Feels like there's more to his game as a receiver.

Cam Smith
The forgotten man in Vic Fangio's defense, should definitely get a chance to show up for new DC Weaver.

Tindall
Almost feels like a last chance for him. Tindall was way down the list of linebackers in 2023, but could see new life with Weaver.

Kion Smith
Interesting player, who I thought showed well at LT when he got the chance. Is he more than a backup?

Bonner
Another player who made plays in his brief appearances on the field. Miami badly needs depth at corner if Howard leaves. Perhaps Bonner will be in the mix?

EZ
That third wide receiver spot could be up for grabs, depending on what happens in free agency and the draft.

Robert Jones
Another backup offensive lineman, who generally showed pretty well especially as a run blocker. Could he be in the mix at LG ot RG if Hunt leaves?

Please keep Hunt

EZ on his last chance. 3rd year now.

Achane is a given obviously. Needs to stay healthy.

Wouldn't Bonner make a nice safety one day?

Brooks...hmm big boy wanna see more from him..will he get opportunities with the guys in front of him?

I hope so.

Great call on Brooks! I knew I was forgetting someone. He could get a lot more playing time, depending on whether the team keeps Jeff Wilson.

#1 is Tua. Not for more playing time, but for elevating his game re: finding solutions to every situation, escaping the pocket, off script plays, etc.

Pretty confident he will be much improved.

Hopefully at least in making better decisions. I'd also like him to take off and run more. Make defenses think about that a little more.

How about every single one of them including the coaches!

No faith that Tindall will be anything more than he already is.

I think Goode had a better shot. Who knows with the knee now.

I think Hunt is probably the most realistic of our impending FAs to resign. Wilkins is going to cost a lot. Williams is coming off another significant knee injury. AVG is the wild card; it comes down to how much we are willing to pay our 3rd edge rusher. I know Chubb and Phillips could, and probably will, miss time to start next year, but at some point all 3 of them will be healthy.

I can't help but feeling Wilkins is going to get paid by another team with the cap space. I hope I'm wrong but ...

He absolutely will and I would say he already packed his bags although Grier has made some curious moves before lol. If we can get Hunt for a fair price, AVG same, and use the money we were thinking of paying Wilkins to get another DT, tier 2 or 3. plus a couple of other players in that same pay range 3-5 mil/yr, I think it's a nice start. I would rather pay up for a LB plus a player or two than all in on Wilkins and I like him. It's just value for performance.

And the Patriots have an ass-load of it, IIRC.
