Five reason why the Dolphins will win the AFC East:
1. Miami won 10 games last year while learning a new Offense... missing one of their best Defensive players (Jones) to injury...having just one man on LB squad they could count on...no true passing threat at TE...starting season with two guards that could not be counted on... losing their center, a revolving door of who is starting at corner this week...a HC that was feeling his way through his new position. All this things will not be present when Miami starts in 2017.
2. Miami did not know what they had with Ajayi until a few games in the 2nd quarter of the season, this year they will have more plays, and better ways to use what seems like one of the best power backs in the NFL.
3. Tom Brady is one of the best/smartest QBs in history, but he does have a problem against pressure defenses, and if Harris is even close to the pass-rusher he is being portrayed from the draft, Miami will have pressure from the middle, ends, and even LB, Safties, and Corners can effectively Blitz on those extremely rare occasions. Also Though Brady still looks good, he is on the wrong side of 40, and time always wins.
4. Gase has shown to be one of the best young brilliant new HC, and has the respect of his team. They are always prepared, actually make adjustments at halftime when something is not working, and his team no longer is the team of undisciplined individuals that started the season last year, but a confident (but not ****y) team united as one, with a very aggressive style on offense as well as defense that refuse to lose or quit until the final second has ticked off.
5. Like him or not, Ryan Tannehill when given time is a very effective QB, and before he got hurt last year, was coming on in a huge way. Though the staff did not go crazy trying to fix the O-line with expensive players, they did get some (At worse) solid players, and if the line is able to at least give Ryan average time to get rid of the ball, with the receiving weapons Miami will have, and a premium RB that can explode for hard yardage with just a little room. This is an offense that has the potential of being special.
