Everyone freaking out calling for Gase's head needs to take a step back and chill. We are 4-4 and anyone that expected much more than that without Tannehill is off their rocker. Sure it's frustrating but last night was a baby step victory.
Offense looked much better and I'm excited for Tannehill to come back and play with Williams and Drake. Sure Drake fumbled but overall he looked very good in this system without Ajayi. Williams looked great catching out of the backfield as well but as a runner he just isn't good. Either draft a power back to complete the trio next year or pick up a guy like Blount.
Oline looked better vs the pass atleast still no running holes but baby steps here. Pouncey should be gone unless he agrees to cut off 4-5 million yearly. 1st and 2nd round might be going to oline again. Still the huge weakness of this team. On a side note there is holding on every NFL play, refs did us dirty but at the end of the day still on us for losing.
Defense played decently forced two turnovers and gave our team a shot but offense shot itself in the foot. Dline lacked pressure but if the four man rush isn't working then we need to call more creative blitzes. Seems like even when we blitz we still can't get in cause we send lb's up the middle. I'd like to get more creative, loved when Burke moved Suh to a sprinters stance and had him rush standing up, mix it up get creative you have Suh and Wake who are both incredibly athletic, hide them,line them up differently and scare the offense.
We are in desperate need of a linebacker/safety that can cover, unfamiliar with Mcmillian but praying he can cover cause Cook torches us last night.
Secondary seemed decent. Badly need a Free safety who can cover hopefully McDonald is that guy, Jones is one of the top SS in the league but really shouldn't be left on an island covering like that. I'm not sure if our corners played well or if the linebackers just suck so bad that Carr didn't bother testing the corners or that they covered well. Either way McCain looks like he's turning into a solid slot guy and Tankersley and Howard didn't give up much so looks like we could have a very young solid secondary that should improve with time and experience.
Overall the whole team looked better then past weeks and for the most part played a complete game. Just need to work on the mental errors and stupid penalties.
Sucks when we think about where we could be but you also have to look at the circumstances. People calling for Gase's head after he lead us to the playoffs last year and this year being .500 without our starting QB is insane. All our previous coaches were given 4-5 years and did nothing atleast Gase accomplished something his first year and this year looks like he's struggling with a less talented qb but give it time before everyone freaks out.
