Pretty fair comments. We need to stop the Bills in week 2 if we want to put everyone on notice there is another power in the AFCE. D is stout and got stouter and we added multiple weapons for Tua.

Well sure. That's low hanging fruit for almost every year two QB with few exceptions. We know it's on Tua. We know our RB roster is putrid. We know right now Bills look like the team to beat in AFCE and that X is hanging out. What I'm looking for when seeing this type of thing is what new take is being made. I think today is the day we should start seeing more info come out exponentially NFL wise in general until TC starts a week from now.

I'm uncomfortable with making making too much of the Bills game. 1st 4-5 games will be tough solely because of the young roster. The Bills talent won't help. I think Miami can put teams 'on notice' by game 10. No rush. OTOH, I admit the team surprised me early last year

I certainly can appreciate their tone about the Dolphins. At least they weren't total dicks about things, but yeah, it's nothing new. It seems like the stuff we all have been discussing here at Finheaven.
IMO, we have enough talent, so our team success will come down to one thing. How mentally strong we are this year. For example, how will we respond when a player makes a mistake, Tua throws a pick 6, Buffalo kicks us in the teeth, or we are playing poorly against a team we should win against, etc.?
I agree with the youth issue early, but of what I have seen the last couple of years from the Dolphins coaching, youth tend to learn quickly under this coaching staff, and the game planning does not put the team in as much jeopardy as far as youth as it could, so there is chance Miami as a team actually grows quicker then expected.
Like old Dolphin teams, and recent Patriots teams...This new Miami Dolphins team does not make many mistakes, or beat themselves, no matter how old, or inexperienced they are.
I generally like the cast on GMFB (except Schrager), I can't fault anything they said in that breakdown.
Good sauce...
Nope, the pressure is on the OL to make a major step up this year. If they aren’t vastly improved, the RB’s will find it hard to find open running routes and Tua will be under constant pressure again.
If the OL improves and provides solid blocking, I am not concerned at all in regards to Tua or the RB’s.
Yup. Good breakdown. I would disagree with the rb position being a question mark though. Well, Gaskin is good but we do need another 2. Gaskin will be good though
Man, Nate Robinson is good. I like his assessment

Is it a question mark? The FO clearly doesn’t want to do anything to really improve the roster there for whatever reason. It will always baffle me but it is what it is.
Great analysis. But its all moot, if the rookies aren't able to come in a perform up to expectations or talent. There might be an adjustment period. The 2nd year players need to show improvement and step up. If they don't, it could be a long season.
I admire the player development thinking from the coaching staff. Miami sorely lacked in that department for the longest time. Lets hope these kids come together sooner, rather than later.

No, I'm saying I think we will be good there. I hear you on the not addressing it though, I think we definitely should have, we had the chance more than a few times. But hopefully next year. We don't need to go bargain shopping in the dumpster now.
