This sounds like Larsen all over again. But lets relax a minute. We don't even know if the team really wants him. It's just a "rumor". I'm so sick of the team making the same mistakes over and over. Injured players, not caring about fixing the guard spot. Not drafting a real TE. Always with the old and injured stop gaps. Mando was right, the team has no real vision or real plan. They just patch things here and there. I'm so hoping this off season will be different but I'm not holding my breath
Ozzy rules!!
I think their is some vision under Gase/Grier. They have used FA to patch and have focused on the draft to get the best players on their board while not pigeon holing need. 2016 they were forced to take Xavian Howard in round 2 and that was literally the only "need pick" we forced in 2 years. And he looks like he could be a real good player so it has worked out.
Have no issues with the Stills deal or the Timmons deal and to a further extent the Branch deal. Even TJs deal is a fine deal as a risk reward player and the structure is very team friendly. Cap has gone up and so has the price of veteran stop gaps. Team was depleted of young defensive talent and that takes a few drafts to replenish.
Understood Cutler and Julius Thomas deals, focus was on defense and coach was familiar with these guys . . . They just arent the same players.
But have no idea why we didn't tender Kiko at the 2nd round level. . . . That was the biggest mistake they have made. Also they relied on Bushrod to give them one more year while they develop guys like Davis and Asiata.
Team just has to continue to draft well and continue to plug while these youngins develop. This is a big draft for Miami. They really need to finalize this defense, especially the middle third.
