7 dolphins due for a break of "season"

Decent list I think mike wallace qualifies after a sub 1000 yard season. I don't see mathews on the list too many WRs like gibson and landry ahead of him
 
Lamar Miller

Miller's speed will be utilized plenty this season with outside zone runs. This is a staple of the zone-blocking scheme that the Dolphins run, but with the lack of talent on the offensive line last season (particularly at the tackle spots) this play was often unsuccessful albeit for the few times Miller was able to beat a defender around the edge.

With the additions of LT Branden Albert and 2014 first round pick Ja'Wuan James, the Dolphins should be able to seal the edge of a defense to allow Miller to go up field sooner and see less defenders on the way. This will lead to huge runs if Miller can better himself when it comes to making people miss and breaking tackles.

Miller will earn reps in this offense because of his skill set, and by season's end Miller could see himself being compared to LeSean McCoy in terms of big-play ability.


Yea Miller needs to really work on those things even still i could see some big runs this year with an improved O line and Lazor calling the shots.
 
If the article is even close to being right I don't see how we win any less than 10 games.
 
I don't see Miller having a significantly better season than last year. He might do a bit better, but he doesn't have the power or the vision to be one of the league's upper tier RBs. His numbers are already OK, I see more OK in his future.

The Earl Mitchell one is mostly speculation, as he'll be playing in a new team, new coaches, new defensive formation, different gap assignments and he'll be rotating with Odrick and Starks. So anyone who believes he/she can predict in advance that Mitchell will personally have a much better year than last season is reaching.

Never hear Mitchell mentioned in the OTA reports and he's played every snap with the first team defense. Would be good to get a sense of how he's faring.
 
Jordan should do way better now that his shoulder is healed up and he put on more muscle.
The reports make it seem like the dolphins offense will be the best since Marino. :lol:

Tannehill is more talented than Nick Foles who put up great #s under the tutelage of Lazor.
No more GO GO!
Tanne must be excited to see all the attacking movement on the offense will help his confidence.
The Dolphins have some serious depth at WR 4 dolphin receivers could thrive in a #2 role.
Wallace will be targeted more expect more big plays from him. Wallace is glad he can move around more in this offense.

Miller could have "broken out" last year if he was actually given the ball.
 
i don't think we have the move athletes at tackle in albert and james to be all that great on the outside zone stuff...millers speed for sure helps but i just don't think the tackles will be that effective in that much space...more box tackles

why i preferred more move athlete tackles in the eagles mode as targets draft and free agency wise

would be nice if we were effective with it though cause then we could employ some playaction to the opposite side off the wide stretch with an athlete like tannehill and have big play opportunities when teams overpursue or get nosy...tight ends get forgotten about after they sell the initial run on the backside and leak out for chunk yardage away from the initial play side

That was partially in Miller's own hands, if he pass blocked better the passing game would have softened up the defense for the running game.
 
if this rebuilt line holds up a lot of players will have good to grrat years
