Grades At The Halfway Point For The Offense

[Danny]

I know after last night many people here probably think everyone should get an F but not everyone has been horrible. This is just to see how everyone feels and it doesn't really mean anything. What I think won't change anything. Keep on mind that the grades are for the first 8 games, not just for the game last night.

Tannehill, C- He did ok the first 3 games and had two very bad games. I'm sure some people will think it should be lower
Brock O, C-He's done ok for a back up but have no illusions, he's not the answer

Gore, B- I wish he was getting more help up front but he's played well
Drake, B- He's made some plays and he's has some bad games hence the B-
Ballage, incomplete

Wilson, B+ Was having a very good season till the injury came
Stills, C I like Stills but really he hasn't done a whole lot this season
Grant, C+ The guy plays hard and has made some nice plays. I think a B would be too high tho
Amendola, B We could use more like him. Comes to play and does his job every week
Parker, hard to rate him as he's only played in 3 games. This is the time to trade him and get something for him

Gesicki, D I don't blame all of it on him. They're not using him the right way imo. Time will tell
O'Leary B- Nice surprise player for us. Wish they'd use him more in the passing game
Smythe C Was really hoping for more out of him but I could say that for most players

Tunsil, B+ Has been steady this year. Might give him an A after 16 games
Larsen F Hard to believe we can't do better than him
Swamson C+ Has been ok as the back up
Davis C+ Hasn't taken a big step forward I was hoping for but we could do worse
James B- Up and down like last year. Looked pretty bad last night before they gave him help

Maybe I've been harsh but this offense doesn't score enough for a reason.

Gase as the OC/Play caller D- Sorry but where's the scoring and where's the tempo? Offense is all he does as he lets Burke runs the defense and Rizzi the ST's and yet we can't get the offense going. I know the injuries hurt but we're half way there and our offense is just not good enough.

I'll do the defense later, that should be easier to do.

p.s. is just my opinion so don't take it to hard guys.

 

[hoops]

Tunsils the top grade by a mile.

Frank gore is second relative to the ask.

 

[RobertHorry]

Tunsil should be at least an A. He's been amazing.

Gore should get A-. He gets 4-5 yards per carry without fail. Gase has such little confidence in Brock he gave Gore the ball almost every play until he had to start throwing.

 

[phins_4_ever]

I'd give Tannehill an A++. He hasn't had an INT in 3 games now.

 

[hoops]

Gores saved us from a lot of negative grade Kenyan Drake runs.

Who remains the most overrated player on the dolphins b/t. Looking to bounce too much

I can't argue with you. They've both played well. I was just a little hesitant to give anyone an A on such a bad offense but those two guys have done their part

 

[hoops]

Tunsils been top shelf. Franchise caliber left tackle. Should only get better too.

Almost got rolled up yesterday by Clowney with a leg whip.

I about threw up.

 

[RobertHorry]

I dont understand Grant. Why the hell isn't Gase using him in a Tyreek Hill type way? That blows my mind.

I agree. If Gase is so amazing then how come he can't find ways to get Gran the ball. He makes things happen with the ball on his hands.

 

[hoops]

He doesn’t have the body for contact that hill has. Hill is a fire hydrant. Grants a rocked up smurf. That’s different.

But boy is the kc scheme legit. Next person that laughs at Andy Reid go sit in a corner. That scheme is money and he not only has legit stars at rb wr and tight end but they actually play like stars. Vs cinci the other night every time hunt, hill, or Kelce got the ball they made the first man miss. Every time. It was cartoonish.

Meanwhile I’m not playing dvp, am playing dwarfs, relying on scheme to drive everything, with big bird as my primary flex/split tight end. And a qb that can’t throw it in the ocean and leaving more plays than I can count on the field.

What’s wrong with this picture?

You understand that C is average and B is better than average. I have no idea how someone can watch this offensive line and think they've approached average. The idea that if just wasn't for that Larsen fella, they'd be doing just fine...

Well I only gave a B to two players. Two got a C and the last one got an F
Are you saying they all should have gotten below C?

Eh I dont know if I agree with that comparison for Grant. His body can take contact, hes a little jacked than Hill up top though. We haven't gone 5 wide to get the opposing defense in a dime package then given Grant a handoff. How is that hard to do?

Everything’s wrong with it and gase is the one responsible for it. His players, his scheme. There’s only 3 must keeps on this roster imo. X, fitz and tunsil. Every coach and FO can take a walk as far as I’m concerned

I agree, everyone else is expendable.
