Just for fun, but could happen. Here are five bold statements about the 2024 Miami Dolphins.

1. The Drought Ends...Miami Wins a Playoff Game
I think Miami will need one home field game to get this done, but I think it's a strong possibility. Hopefully, it's a deep playoff run.

2. Tua Throws More Than 30 Touchdown Passes
He came close last year, but just missed this number. I do expect the Dolphins to run more so 30 could be a challenge.

3. Defense Ends Up in Top 10 for Fewest Points and Yards.
This one might be a little bit of a stretch with a new DC in Weaver and Phillips/Chubb possibly missing some early season games. But the linebacking unit is an upgrade on paper and you've got to think Miami has fewer injuries. I like Baltimore's physical style on defense and that should play well in Miami, especially after the first month of the season.

4. Achane Reaches 1200 Yards Rushing
I don't think it's a stretch that Achane gets the bulk of the carries this year, although it certainly should be a committee approach at running back. If he's healthy 1,000 rushing yards seems likely, while 1,200 could be a little high but possible.

5. Miami Splits with Buffalo
I think this is a must for number 1 on the list to happen. The early season Thursday night game at home should favor the Dolphins. But getting Miami early could help Buffalo as well with the possibility that Chubb and Phillips won't be back. This is a game where Miami's offense needs to show big. I expect Weaver's defense will do better against Josh Allen's runs. Thursday night at home is a nice advantage, though, regardless of injuries etc.
 
Bold;
  • Miami sweeps Patriots, Jets and splits Buffalo
  • Patrick Paul comes in when Armstead gets hurt in game 3, turns out he is a baller and cements down the LT position. Armstead stays on the bench the rest of the season.
  • Miami makes it to the AFC Championship game
  • Miami hits #1 offense in yards and points.

Right. I think if Miami stays relatively healthy, good things should happen.

I'm not sure why this team has been decimated by injuries the last two years. Is that a coaching issue, bad luck, drafting too many injury-prone players? I don't know the answer, but if it's mostly bad luck you have to figure "the football Gods" will eventually even things out in Miami's favor.

I think Achane could reach 1200 yards total from scrimmage but not straight rushing yards.

Tua SHOULD throw for at least 30 TDs in this offense.

If we DONT win a playoff game this year then McDaniel and Tua need to go.

That last statement would have to have some context, but generally agree.

Achane would need to take carries away from Mostert to achieve 1,200 rushing yards and I don’t see that happening.

He was getting his share of touches before injury.

Before the draft, I could see us having two 1200 all purpose yard backs (assuming health for both), but I don't see Wright not getting his chances too.

That's a lot of talent with which to spread the ball around.
