I just have to wonder, where did we get better at? I know we can't judge the draft class after two games and I know that McMillan got hurt and he's out for the year. And yes I'm aware of Timmons leaving the team. I like that we got Hayes and I like the fact we drafted a DE,LB and a Corner. We needed help on all 3 positions. Come to think of, we needed help in a lot of positions but lets take a look at both rosters. Did we get better, worst or stayed the same?
2016 2017
QB-Tannehill Cutler
RB-Ajayi Ajayi
WR-Parker Parker
WR-Landry Landry
WR-Stills Stills
TE-Simms Thomas
LT-Albert Tunsil
LG-Tunsil Steen
C-Pouncey Pouncey
RG-Bushrod Bushrod
RT-James James
DE-Wake Wake
DT-Suh Suh
DT-Phillips Phillips/Godchaux
DE-Branch Branch
LB-Misi Allen
LB-Alonso Hull
LB-Jenkins Alonso
C-Maxwell Maxwell
C-Lippett Howard
S-Jones Jones
S-AKO(SP?) Allen
ok, I believe Tannehill gives us more than Cutler. There's been several plays already where Cutler got rid of the ball but Tannehill would have run for a first down. It's only two games of course so we'll see what happens
RB and the 3 WR's are the same. The o-line has ONE different guy in there, Steen instead of Albert. How is that supposed to be better?
TE? Simms was a good blocker and could catch thought not much of a real seam guy. Thomas looks fat to me and not in great shape and pretty slow really.
The D-line is pretty much the same but I like the fact they added Hayes and the two rookie DT's have done well. The run defense seems a little better but the pass defense...........
I like Chase Allen but did he need an extra year before he could be a starter? I can't blame the FO on him starting as the plan was for Timmons to start. I do blame them for handing him a contract where almost all of it is GTM
Alonso at weak vs Jenkins? he should at least moke a few play when Jenkins didn't make any plays at all and Hull in the middle, lets just say I really wish the rookie hadn't gotten hurt.
Maxwell should be gone after this year and Howard? He could turn out to be a good corner but a real #1? I haven't seen the potential for that yet but it's only his 2nd year
Jones don't seem the same, sorry but he doesn't. I'm hoping he'll get back to form but so far he hasn't and Allen should not be our starting FS.
At the end of the day this roster is not much different from the team that beat ONE team last year with a winning record so maybe we shouldn't be expecting so much. This is just my opinion of course and I'm ok if your opinions are different than mine. It's really hurting us that we're not getting anything from our 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks tho we're getting something from the two DT's. At this point the way I see it we'll be looking at the same holes again in the off season.
Ozzy rules!!
