The Miami Dolphins are four games into the season with 3/4s of the season to go.
After four games in the 2020 season, the Miami Dolphins are 1-3 on the year and 0-2 at Hard Rock Stadium but there is a lot of football left to play.

There are some good things that Miami has done. The offensive line is looking like it could become one of the top units in the league. While it is not there yet, no one can complain about the impressive play of Solomon Kindley and even Austin Jackson is looking like he will be the real deal.


Across the board the Dolphins have done well in each area and while some players have shined, others, well, we expected to see a lot more of what they had to offer when the arrived.

1. Jakeem Grant
2.Preston Williams
3-5. See More here>>>>>>>> https://phinphanatic.com/2020/10/07...biggest-disappointments-first-quarter-season/

Anyone have any players not on this list as being a big disappointment?
 
Preston Williams has gotta be number one for me.

jakeem grant hasn’t been a disappointment. He’s been what he’s always been and that’s just not very good. I never expected him to produce this year

Maybe just me, but I wasn't that high on Williams last year. Yeah he was great but I guess I just wasn't rating him so high with such a short sample size. As for Grant, even when Miami gives him end arounds and other rushes, they're not very effective because Grant has below average vision. Even on kick returns he usually chooses the wrong opening or goes to where there was no opening at all.
 
Jordan Howard has been surprisingly bad and for a $5 million Price tag he edges out Preston. I honestly thought both would be moving towards 1000 yard seasons, but now it looks like they’re just taking up roster spots. Preston might break out if it but Howard might as well be cut if it’s not a big penalty for next year.
 
I did not have high hopes but our FA DEs have not been providing much of a pass rush or setting the edge. They played better against Seattle...hopefully they ramp up as the year progresses.

Im not sure the guys they mention make my list for various reasons. I dont have much faith or expectations for Grant; Williams is young coming back from an acl; Iggy is a rook.

I guess Howard is a disappointment...he looks like he is running in mud when he does get a carry.

Howard looks like he's fat and out of shape.
 
Preston has just reached 11 months removed from an acl tear. Most players dont get to 100% until a full season of playing. Besides the physical aspect, injuries take a mental toll on you. Preston will be fine.

Not to mention if you watch the games hes had about 3 or 4 BIG play Pass interference calls which wont show upon the stat sheet.
-also had 2 2-pt conversions which arent on stat sheets either

I’ve seen a lot of guys play less than a year later off an acl and look tbe part. Keenan Allen for example.

Grant also gets so damn excited to have the ball that he often loses balance/his footing before even making a football move. He has some of the more rough transitions after the catch you’ll find out there. It totally negates the athlete that he is.
 
Funny thing it’s the media tbat was driving any expectations I had from Preston out the gate. The Miami media at camp was waxing poetic about the guy then I saw him week 1 and was like ehh that’s not close to the same guy at the top of routes.

Right now he’s playing a ton of snaps and giving us very little. I’d prefer we played a different option if we had one but we really don’t. And of course you never know when he may look the part again and I obviously don’t want to miss that on the field.

He’s also most disappointing cause he’s the only option not named tua who could elevate this offense to another level. If he played like a 1a instead of a 3 or even 4

None of those other guys could have done it.
