I am thoroughly convinced that since we are in a rebuild, this will be one of the better seasons we have had this century. Book lt.
Won’t matter if they get their QB this year
. . . no one knows how Flores and staff compare to Gase and staff...
I totally agree. I want playoffs or 1-2 wins. However, after looking at last years team and that this years team could look like, wouldn't surprise me?An 8-8 season would be the worst thing that can happen to this team. That would put them in no man's land as usual. They really need a 2-14 season to get the QB they want in the 2020 draft and build off of that.
To many holes, agreed. But, who was in those spots last year with a 8-8 record? Problem is, the replacements should be just as productive as any from last year!Too many holes at critical areas, mainly the offensive and defensive lines.
Also, you have to factor in other teams getting better. Darnold and Allen should both be better year two for the Jets and Bill's respectively.
Coaching is one area where Miami figures to be stronger and that could be huge.
Production from any of those players can be duplicated with average players and above average coaching.Gone are the starting QB, both starting DE's and leading sack.........leading RB and leading WR
How can this team be the same as last year?
btw, Wilson and Grant coming back from surgery too.
Strictly by the stats = Wake the person can not be replaced, period, at this stage of his career, his production can though. I've always been a Wake fan and hope the best for him. A 28 year old Wake = irreplaceable, 35 = not so much.Just have to stick up for my boy and one of the all time dolphins great Cameron Wake for a second. When you say his performance is easy to replace are you going by his stats or did you actually watch him? I actually like watching defense more than offense which has been frustrating the last few years however Wake was usually the one I watched the most. He certainly lost a step after the Achilles however he was still dominate last year. Constantly in the backfield putting pressure just that step cost him the sack. He still graded out as the 15th best end last year and that’s including his run defense which isn’t the greatest. If anyone has pff insider and can check pass rushing efficiency I’d bet he’s in the top 5 last year. If whoever we draft is half as productive as Wake was last year, I’ll be happy, just hope he can improve to 75% after a couple years.
Not really seeing where people think Fitzpatrick is this better than average QB. He's not, he's a mediocre QB and always will be. Why people think he'll be an improvement over Tannehill is beyond me.
All things we could not do last year????? Same as this year, however; coaching alone can improve players/team, etc. So that is why I wonder what will be the difference from last season. All those attributes we couldn't do last season, it probably won't be any worse this season, thus similar record/results?I do not believe they are going to be able to pressure the QB.
I do not believe they are going to be able to stop the run.
I believe that they are going to have extremely inconsistent QB play.
Ergo...I think they are going to be pretty bad. Call it what you will.
