Let me me preface this by saying that the Dolphins are a terrible football team. Chargers however, traveling east for a 1 PM kickoff has not fared well for them or any west coast team for that matter. Huge plus for us.
Finally the Chargers injuries. It's eye-opening how many injuries they have. Their all-pro young safety Derwin James is out for the year. The guy who replaced him and special team ace Adrian Philips is out for a while. Their LT is on the PUP. Their number 2 and 3 WRs are both out (Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin). Their number 1 and 2 TEs are both out ( Hunter Henry and Virgil Green). Their backup running back is out. Their top CB Casey Hayward is a game-time decision. And maybe out of all of these, the most important, their kicker, Mike Badgley, is out. Chargers didnt sign a replacement kicker and are leaving kicking duties to their punter. They are getting Melvin Gordon back but in a "limited" role. Simple gameplan on D. Put X on Keenan Allen but 8 in the box.
Our offensive line is atrocious, and going against a formidable Dline. I do believe our D can give us good field position and Rosen should get us plenty of FG opportunities. Wilson, replacing Grant will be a huge upgrade. That should free up Williams/Parker for some better matchups.
Dolphins win in a fg-filled game 15-13.
Oh also, they could get destroyed and I wouldn't be surprised.
And lots of respect for Brian Flories, the man. Visited Kendrick Norton , the Dolphin player who tragically lost his arm in a horrific car accident, "every other day" in the hospital and during rehab.
