Final positive thread from today’s game/Season!

[Swollcolb]

- What a win, great to beat the pats. Exciting game and we competed and showed tremendous growth as a team.
- Fitzmagic the legend, I hope he’s back as our starter next season, loved watching him this season.
- Devante Parker took Stephon Gilmores lunch money. I mean he took the best corner in the NFL to school. I thought Devante Parker had some AJ Green type potential coming out of the draft and its coming to fruition. He was an ELITE WR this year top5 in receiving yards and TDs for WRs.
- Mike Gesicki Breakout star number 2, he developed into a top 10 TE, another huge Clutch game winning TD. He’s finally showing that redZone weapon we’ve been lacking.
- Eric Rowes Pick 6 was huge, he’s had a very solid season but this was his first game altering play. Nice to see his consistency show up in terms of a big time play.
- Jerome Baker with a boatload more tackles finished the year with 118 tackles 1.5 sacks and a pick. Took time for him to get adjusted to the system and he’s a little undersized for what the defense calls for him to do, but he’s explosive and a playmaker.
- Davon Godchaux was a beast in the middle, he needs to be a priority to sign long term this offseason. He’s developed into a high level NFL Starter.
-Trent Harris showing potential as a developmental edge rusher hes quick off the snap and explosive.
- Coach Flo has won me over, He just does things the right way, I love his mentality and how he’s lead and developed this team this year has been special.
- Rebuild Year number 1 is in the books and we ended up with 5 wins for a team most people thought/guranteed wouldn’t win A game maybe 1-2 if we were lucky. After the first 2 weeks which were horrible dolphins games were Entertaining and competitive for the most part.

A few other Honorable Mentions for season Performers.
-Preston Williams, before getting hurt he was looking better than DVP. Once he got injured Devante took the load and ran with it. But just shows how scary our WRS could be.
- Raekwon McMillan has a great year.
- Cristian Wilkins solid rookie year, he’s gonna be a good one.
-Van Ginkel was great today and came on late in the season, he looks like a hit on a rotational/starter quality player.
- Jason Sanders had a great season.
- Jakeem Grant became leading TD return leader in franchise history, excited to get him back healthy next year.
-and now it gets fun we got so many picks and money -Jeff Ireland Voice

This is now a vertical offense. So refreshing. Being behind the sticks no longer has me feeling the drive is ultimately over.

O-line was respectable today.

Gesicki and Parker are legit weapons. When’s the last time you could say Miami had legit threats on offense?

Miami went 5-4 after the 0-7 start. And they still got a top 5 pick.


One of the worst dolphins teams on paper was the team to end Miami’s losing streak in New England. Crazy.

after the first 2 months of the season, this season wasn’t that bad to endure, was more exciting to watch than last year’s boring team.

On to FA and then the Draft

I would say Sanders had a down year, considering his rookie season and his sub 80% fg rate this season. That being said I'm not too worried about him. I expect good things from him going forward.

The first few games were unbearable to watch, but Flores did an amazing job with this bunch of players. The 5-4 finish was miraculous with this group. Never saw so many changes of personnel from week to week, yet constantly improve. Great end to the season.

Liked what I saw from van ginkel today outside of the one on one rush stuff vs a tackle.

As for the positives, now that the season has ended, it's more about what they did over the course of the 16 games. The 0-7 start IMO can be attributed to the roster purge after the preseason ended and the regular season began. That change was like starting training camp all over again for 1/3 of the roster. But once the break happened they got their footing under them and played like a cohesive football team. This coaching staff proved they belong. The massive amount of player development was evident, all over the roster. It's amazing what good coaching can do for players who never would have gotten a chance. Winning 3 games that Miami was double digit underdogs is impressive. These are the overall positives I took from this season.

As for player positives the entire WR and TE group developed into a dangerous group. Making plays all over the field. It can be said they overachieved, but, I believe they developed through quality coaching. Parker and Gesicki matured into reliable players and seem to have developed into the potential they were thought to have. Ford was the forgotten man, but non the less made plays, once given the chance. Laird and Gaskin showed promise and think they'll get another shot next year. But Miami does need a workhorse type at the RB position. Defensively, Needham literally developed on a weekly basis, after getting promoted from the PS. Hartage took a little longer but showed glimpses of another guy Miami can count on moving forward. Eric Rowe made the trade of Minkah Fitzpatrick less hurtful. He played very well as a FS. They entire LB unit made plays throughout the season. With McMillan being a revelation in this scheme. Van Ginkle is one of those kids that just knows where he's suppose to be at all times. His ability to cover the flats was impressive. Very assignment sound. Biegel played like a man on fire. Love that kid. Baker took a bit, but finally started flying all over the field. He's a leader too. Sieler has impressive strength, he's like a bull in a China shop. In only 2 games, he's earned a serious look in 2020. Taco Charlton played well early on, but disappeared in the later part of the season before getting deactivated. Godchaux was a steady Eddie at NT. Good player. Wilkins improved over the course of the season to put up a lot of tackles. Another guy worth his weight. Lots to look forward to.
