Elite defense/running the ball

It's especially necessary if you don't have a Mahomes or Allen under center. If you don't have an elite quarterbacks (about 28 teams), you've got to pressure quarterbacks, make them get rid of the ball quickly etc.

A good running game also keeps the opposing offense off the field.

Getting there? I'm not sure Miami can in one offseason, unless they absolutely hit on nearly every pick. It feels like a transition year to me, with so many questions about practices, the team being soft, Hill quitting on the team etc.

This draft is loaded on defense, so that's really where the Dolphins should focus in 2025.

Ultimately, it's not just about players but having physical practices and developing that aspect of the team. Short-yardage offense comes down to being more physical than the other team.

I totally agree. Changes need to start with practices. You practice how you play and if you practice soft, you play soft
 
As good as Brewer is at pulling and wiping out LBers - when the Brass went with a 290 pound C everyone in Buffalo laughed

3rd and 2 4th and 1 and your QB is Always in shotgun

That **** won’t travel
 
we went into the last game of the year ranked as the 3rd best defense. It would help a lot if we had our two best pass rushers.
I read that we averaged double the rushing yards when AJ played vs when he didn’t play. Just being healthy would fix a lot

Miami tried this before with ricky williams and again with Sparano. But of course they didn’t have a QB. Have to find a QB first before any philosophy works

Yes & no.

When you’re young- sure.

When you’ve been in the league a few- not really.

When you’re a beast you’re a beast which is why Lawrence Taylor could be late to games let alone practice & fall asleep in meetings & why Armstead goes the entire week without practice & is the best OLinman in the game on Sunday.

It all starts with drafting, dude & it goes to show you what a lack of science there is to that the best pure passer the game has ever seen saw 5 QBs go before him at #27 & the best to ever have done it when the asteroid finally hits (no one is doing 10 appearances/7 victories/5 MVPs again come’on) went #199.

Correction: have to be able to keep a QB upright first.

It’s like taking a boner pill without having a partner. What’s the point?
 
Two above average guards and two decent safeties along with Campbell blessing us with another season and Phillips, Chubb and chop staying healthy
