Can You Read The Signs?

I think a lot of that was Adam Gase. With a coach who demands accountability, I doubt we'd see those antics with Landry. I also don't buy the route running, or not knowing the playbook. Landry knows how to get open. He has more catches in his first five season than any player in the history. That doesn't happen if you don't know the playbook. I think that was a Gase excuse and a red flag on him as a coach that in year two seemingly players didn't know the play book.

All that said, I do agree on some of what you said. Financially, the team could have made it work, but it was a lot for a slot guy.

I think it’s clear Gase has problems dealing with players...in the beginning we thought he just being tough...but in retrospect too many talented players left this team in conflict with him.

Landry is deceiving in the stat column. The amount of passes he would catch under 10 yards was absurd. As for his routes, Gase had called him out and I saw one of the dolphins twitter people show film of him being out of place. Landry seemed to know the plays where he got the ball on his screens. And for what's it's worth, Landrys first big catch went for 30? yards with the browns, but was called back for 15 because he was taunting. So the attitude concers were legitimate.

Your assumption of Gase is right. He knew there were problems in the 2016 season but felt as though winning would fix these issues. As soon as they started losing all hell broke loose. That whole post playoff era was embarrassing. The coke, the trades, the primetime blowouts... Gase never had it figured out and his last press conferences were a poor look for him. He just was not coaching material without manning

I've pointed it put before but he knew of the problems in 2016. He just never fixed them. He assumed that his vast intellect was more than enough to command respect. Much easier when Peytonmanning coaches
 
Yea but he (Wilson) broke down.

Landry was bulletproof.
Wilson also fought for yardage, Landry didn't. Landry had a penchant for finding the sideline or just going down. Wilson doesn't have a history of injury, what happened to him was a freak thing and could have happened to any player, it was just his bad luck. That's like saying Alex Smith's injury was his own fault and he's injury prone. Simply not true bro. He's not Devante Parker.

I wouldn't label him as "injury prone", either, but I would point out that the very thing you mention about him fighting for extra yards, is something that can lead to injury, particularly with smaller players.

He doesn't have a history, but he has also never played a large amount of snaps before.

Don't get me wrong. I like Wilson. He seems like like a team guy, good attitude, lightning quick. I just don't know that you can count on him for 16 games.

I guess we'll soon find out.
 
A solid draft. Loading up picks for next year. Let all the bums walk. It already feels like Miami is shredding the dysfunctional laughingstock mantra. I think Miami will have 5-6 wins this season.
