Dolphins GM Chris Grier believes that QB Tua Tagovailoa has made impressive strides this offseason. Grier points out that HC Mike McDaniel, backup QB Teddy Bridgewater and OC Frank Smith have done a great job in helping Tagovailoa take the next step.

"The one thing is his confidence level. He played well for us in the second half of the season. with the players we've added around him, it has Mike McDaniel really excited," Grier said Teddy Bridgewater has been a great influence as well - the two of them, their relationship and their relationship with Mike and Frank Smith. The whole offensive side of the ball has been fun to watch. Even defensive guys said they couldn't believe the transformation on offense and how they're doing."

On the defensive side of the ball, third round LB Channing Tindall has stood out as a player to Grier that has all the traits to be an impact player for the team.

"He has speed, eplosiveness and has a trajectory, an upside where he could hit another level. Tremendous person. Another fast guy with LB Jerome Baker and LB Duke Riley. and he's a tremendous special teams player as well. we love the speed and toughness we're adding with him."F977B22C-89C1-4333-8C3B-6A59C4CF19A0.jpeg

Interesting mention of Riley

The more film I watch on Tindall the more I believe he is the key player on defense vs the Bills. His skill set is perfect for shutting down all those Josh Allen runs that have killed us

Judging from the past the addition of Melvin Ingram should be in that equation, not only playing but versatility, experience and input he has to pass on to Tindall, should be fin-nomenal....

Right? I think this is a super bowl roster. Not saying Miami will be in the super bowl, but this roster compares favorably to the best teams in the conference.

A lot would have to fall in place for Miami, but that happened for Cincinnati last year. If the Dolphins can stay relatively healthy, Tua takes the next step, the defense closely resembles the last half of 2021 etc. Then it's a real possibility IMHO.

& the OL improves.

p.s. Cincy's OL last yr (if memory serves) was 25th or thereabouts

This is great, but expected news.

No offense to the other LBers that played with Tindall in Georgia, but you look at the tape, and the thought of how he was not starting hit hard.

I understand he was raw, and he can be overly aggressive in his reads, but at his worst, he is still a very Chaotic problem for an offense, it's far more then just his speed, he has a non-stop motor, and he hits to make a point.

In the draft posts I believed Tidall was a bigger hitter then Nakobe Dean, and faster player then Quay Walker. He's a perfect combination of both, but with more non stop gas in the tank per play.

I remember when I was waiting for my car to be serviced, Georgia was playing, and I could not help but see him when he was in...He is plain and simply chaos in a football Jersey.

When he is ready (Scary but wonderful thought, but he might already be) Scary player if your the other team, amazing and fun to watch if you're a Dolphins fan.
 
Tindall will have an impact on Miami's defense. Similar to Baker and Howard in their 1st few years. Pete Prisco observed the Dolphins defense during OTA's and said, he's expecting them to be really good. Saying they will give multiple looks and have speed all over the defense.
