How Does A Planned Tank Job Work?

You never try to lose, you just benefit from looking at players that normally wouldn't started, let them gain experience. And you get rid of almost all above 30, and expensive contracts that you know arent worth it. In this case, on offense you cut/trade TaMEHhill, cut Gore, Sitton, Kilgore, try to trade James if not then retain him, cut Amendola, let Parker go. Start Falk (the younger one), Gesiki all year, Smythe, Grant, Wilson, Stills, Ballage and Drake, start young OLs, Tunsil, Davis as RT, Asiata, Hilliand and Draft pick at OG.
On defense try to trade TJ or Jones, whomever lands the value you expected. Cut Quinn, let Wake go, try to trade Alonso, cut Branch, try to trade McCain, let Hayes go. Start Taylor and Godchaux, Woodward, Harris, and rotate with young players and draft picks, Baker, McMillan, Polling or a draft pick, Armstrong, Howard, Tankersley, McTyer, Fitzpatrick at FS and if Jones Is traded Smith or new young player at SS. Also, if a premium player like Tunsil or Howard Is nagging an injury you let him rest as long as needed an a little more. You will finally see what you got in players like Asista, Tankersley, Harris, Gesiki, McMillan, McTyer, Smythe, Falk, and other young newcomers. FA only young and cheap players. This should be an evaluation year. It would be interesting if you do the same with coaches, let them be creative, let them risk some, put players into some challenges so you can evaluate them, like Baker on coverage, TJ at LB, Stills on the slot, Smythe as FB, Ballage on short yardage, Harris on run downs, Davis at RT.
It would be a dream to know by years end what kind of needs we have, and have lots of draft capital and lots of CAP.

So we need our starting QB to need Spinal fusion and be un-expectantly ready for the season, sign a vet to salvage it only to see him get hurt and then finally play the 3rd option at QB? Sounds like a good plan :rolleyes:.

After Tanking and getting our QB should, we ask the Colts how to get blown out in the playoffs? They seem to be pretty skilled at that as well.

Wow... I guess an attempt at humor was the wrong approach? Read my sig, you may live alittle longer

Well to be fair they haven't really done anything significant since their tank season.

They have been to the AFC Championship, something our favorite team hasn't done in 26 years. They have gone to the playoffs several times, something the Dolphins have only managed to do once every 7-8 years since almost 20 years ago. They have won playoff games. This despite Luck's injury issues and years of gross roster negligence. That's not being fair. It's being delusional. Since their "tank season", they have been every bit as good, outside of one season, as the Dolphins were during the Marino years.
