Jackson just drops strait info...
The Drake pick is just....frustrating, not the player himself, would have been fine with the pick much later (where most believed he would go), because there is talent there and his ability to help on specials.
Good to hear positive things on Maxwell, for the sake of this season, that trade needs to pay off in the most positive of ways. Good to hear Tunsil get some work at LT with the ones.
Parker can rest and rest....no setbacks right before the season....need him as much as we need anyone else on that offense,

What do we do if Maxwell has to sit out a game or maybe a few games?
Well I guess when we get Howard back that will help from a numbers standpoint but have to believe we will looking for a CB when cuts come of course thats never that promising a route to go...

If they can stop the run the way they talk they can we can hide the corners...we stop the run and kiko stays healthy those corners wont kill us
They sure talk highly of xavien howard

Defensive line coach Williams offered this soliloquy on defense when asked if there is a gap in the middle of a Wide 9 defense, which Miami will use:
"There is no big gap. Here's something - and listen, you can report it or write it, whatever you guys want - I think sometimes when people watch football, especially on TV, they see things that aren't necessarily true. We know exactly what we're seeing, and there is no big gaps in the middle. The only difference between playing a 9-technique and a 6-technique - which means you're head up on a tight end - is one guy is a little bit wider, and now they just switched gaps.
“The off-the-ball linebacker now has the inside gap; the other guy has the outside gap. The Wide 9, there's no big deal about it. We just want our guys to play fast. You look at 'Wash's' (Jim Washburn's) history playing this defense - which he has done a good job (with) - they've played great run defense. It's not what people think. It's kind of an illusion a little bit. I hear about the Wide 9 and stopping the run. In (Ndamukong) Suh's last year in Detroit, they were in the top five in the history of pro football in run defense. You can stop the run, it's just about attitude. I don't care if it's 3-4 (defense), Wide 9, 6-2, whatever it is, it's just about who's lining up and kicking the guy's butt in front of them."
-- Great stuff, Barry Jackson strikes again.

Its like this every year with the front office, granted, all teams have units that are thin, but damn if this wasn't one that could have been easily remedied with a guy that knows the system.
Not sure about Howard...again, he is about as unknown as one can be....maybe he had a great off-season, but still worried about the position.
Let hope that Alonzo stays healthy and that d-line plays to potential.

Fingers crossed X Howard is healthy for all 16.. I don't think we are a playoff team yet. Def need more depth/talent on D, health at Rb, along with a healthy WR in Parker, and proven consistent o line play before we get there. I will be satisfied to see this years team grow and respond positively into the new system implimented.

Tua time!
The more we can stop the run the more we can sit in that cover 2 and hide the vertical coverage issues with the corners...of course some teams will send the tight end down the vertical seam to try and exploit the obvious hole between the safeties but miamis gonna depend on the pass rush getting there when teams get behind the sticks before that can hurt us and we will probably drop kiko to depth
Stop the run...otherwise you wont get to see the sub package and it will be curtains

Get teams behind the sticks we can play more cover 3 more cover 4 and we can play more press bail etc...we have length and ball skills on the boundary we need to stay out of cover 1 which comes when teams are ahead of the sticks facing short yardage conversion opportunities and also keeps your sub package off the field...thats where teams will murder us
Howard better be at least not god awful. That's all. I'm confident McCain will do okay in the slot. I feel like we've heard good and bad from Ifo. Would like to just send Lucas to ps. I don't think much of Lippett as the starter but man oh man the other options are equally scary.. Who's best? Chekwa?
I hope both undrafted lbs make it (Blount/Burgess) find good depth with upside..
We really need to sort out this hammy issue

I watched Jakeem Grant catching punts the other day. I know that this is new for him and he is eager to succeed. However, to be honest, while I didn't see him drop any, I was not filled with confidence. He looked hesitant rather than making decisive grabs. I have watched Jakeem's college video highlights and I'd love him to succeed as a Dolphin. He would be a real crowd favorite with his incredible speed but I wouldn't bank on him being an immediate success as a punt returner.
Hope I'm wrong.

Anyone else read this report and think 'who the hell are some of these guys?' James Michael Johnson? Chekwa? Lucas? Have no idea who any of those guys are.

I forget when we picked up Chekwa. Might have been late last season or this offseason..
JMJ has been with us a year or so? I feel like he's been brought back a couple of times.
Jordan Lucas was drafted this year, 6th round I believe. Of course we could just google this, but that's no fun.
