Five bold predictions for the Miami Dolphins in Week 1
The Miami Dolphins will kick off their 2020 season on Sunday with the hopes of avoiding the same slow start that plagued the team’s 2019 campaign. A divisional win is the best kind of win — i…
Would love to see some of these happen for week 1. Especially the rushing yards, turnover, and seeing Preston Williams play at a high level.

That's a great point. With so few padded practices and price times limited today compared to earlier generations, the athletes may be stronger and faster ... but they are less skilled overall. Simple things like tackling aren't practiced ... and the quality of defenders to tackle someone vary wildly--particularly early in the season. It's a muscle memory thing to a degree, and a practice makes perfect thing as well. People who seldom tackle aren't as good adjusting their tackle mid-play to get someone to the ground ... or prevent them from reaching the 1st down marker. Usually these early season games have a lot of sloppy defenders who run fast and blow at least a handful of tackles a game.

Where did you hear that?
