“It’s really interesting. I’ve never been in an offense like this, how it’s called, how it’s run, the combination routes,” Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline said. “There’s a lot of things going on that I haven’t done. It’s really exciting and actually, I’m really enjoying it. You can tell it puts a smile on my face. I can’t wait to learn more, do more and then put it into action.”

One of the major criticisms last year of Sherman was the fact he didn’t move No. 1 receiver Mike Wallace around to get favorable matchups. That’s one of the first changes we’ve seen from Lazor, using Wallace on both sides and the slot depending on the formation. Wallace has looked good in organized team activities. He had three touchdown receptions in Tuesday’s practice in Lazor’s new scheme.

“Nobody can ever key on me,” Wallace explained after Tuesday’s practice. “Last year, you kind of knew where I was every single play, what you had to do because I was there every game, same spot. Moving around, it’s harder for the defense to know where you’re at, harder for them to adjust.”

Lazor is still experimenting and learning his players. For example, one interesting wrinkle the Dolphins are toying with is how to use tailbacks Lamar Miller and Knowshon Moreno in the same backfield.

Not everything is going to stick come September. But Dolphins players seem to appreciate the creativity. That is a good sign at this early stage.

Providing the key offensive components stay healthy, while the proof will be in the pudding, so far there's really nothing I've heard or read that's not to like about Lazor.
 
"Creativity" and "interesting wrinkles" are three words I haven't seen used to describe the Fins offense in quite some time. Training camp can't get here soon enough.
 
I need the season to get here already, I am excited, curious what we will be doing on offense with Lazor's new offense, and how effective it will be.
 
We have a selection of players that can create headaches for opposing defenses. They should be used to their strengths and to keep defenses on their heels. That much is obvious. What we need is proper protection and consistent QB play. Space to make plays will most likely be there to be made in this offense, but it really is on the O-line to give Tannehill time and on Tannehill to connect with his targets. It's exciting to hear that the players are enjoying Lazor's offensive packages. Can't remember the last time I heard such things.

Keep the tempo and pace up and create space by mismatching and moving players around. Hopefully training camp excitement transfers to the season. And please, for the love of god, I truly hope the "go" and "go-gos" are gone. I'm pretty sure they are by the sound of things, but I really don't want to hear those words again unless Tannehill is using them to fool the defenses.
 
Did ya know that Wallace was only thrown to THREE times to the left all of last season, and Hartline EIGHT times to the right side (Hartline was 5 of 5 on short passes there)? Add in that when Wallace was having success in Pitt, his catches were split up pretty evenly. So, Sherman tried to fix something whitch was not broken.
 
Matchups win football games. Why anyone wouldn't use them is beyond me.
 
It's nice to read that the players are enjoying Lazor's new offense.
 
Good to see Lazor actually wants to inject some much needed flexibility and creativity into this offense....something sorely lacking around these parts for ages!
 
clearly pouncey will hold this offense back with his antics. lol
 
Yea and it's so smart to tell it to the media about how our new offense is going to be so come September the patriots know exactly what to look for smh

Every team in the NFL has the media watching their OTA's one day a week and I am almost positive the media is reporting what occurred at each practice for every team. The Dolphins have yet to install their entire playbook plus they have been practicing without the media all week. That being said in today's world with all the technology advancement, it would be almost impossible to prevent our opponents from getting a peek into what's going on with our playbook during open OTA's, training camp and preseason games. On the flip side there will be a ton of the playbook nobody will see until week 1.
