I was just thinking about this with the T Hill addition. Obviously, it should help Tua and allow Tua to perform to the ability many feel he could, with the Wrs and what looked to be an offensive line being improved. But we know Howard's a top CB and Holland had a great season as a rookie and looks very promising, along with Byron Jones opposite of Howard. A lot of times, competition from talented players can bring out the best or really raise the performance of athletes.

We know Howard is a top CB but I'm just thinking of how he could be possibly better from covering Tyreek hill in training camp and secondary covering Hill, waddle duo plus the depth of the wrs and speed. When regular season starts, there won't be a WR tandem where they face on another team where it's something beyond explosiveness or too dynamic to handle. If the hot miami heat doesn't help top condition also, covering speedsters in training camp will sure make the secondary ready to handle other dynamic wrs from other teams and dolphins db have to have serious endurance. So I'm thinking what this will do to further improve miami's defense.
 
Adding Mathieu, while not an urgent need for the defense, would help solidify the middle of the field.

The continuity on defense, the upgrades to the coaching staff, and player development will already show up this year in the form of consistency, I feel.

Additionally, having the ability to score quickly puts pressure on the opposing offense to match pace. That effect will force opponents to be in more obvious passing situations and play to the strength of our defense.

That's nice, but how much cap space does miami have left ha. Plus miami just gave a bunch of picks for hill. Would seem more like a bonus than necessity. I think someone like Tretter would be something I want more than getting Tyran despite me thinking he's a great player

Yeah I don’t know that we need him. Our D is solid. I had just happened to see that rumor right before seeing your post. Figured that’s where you were headed.

I got ya. Yeah I just think all this speed and offensive talent will only add to the secondary being better prepared for other dynamic Wrs they face. That’s because the secondary will have top notch competition from the Wrs on their own team in practice to cover. Hill was already mentioning in an interview, how he can’t wait and fun it will be for him to go at it with X in training camp. And them talking trash , trying to outdo the other one. Can only bring out the best in both players.

What would make the secondary better is another quality pass rusher. That's next on my wish list
 
If we land the Honey Badger or JC Tretter at this point in the off-season after everything we've already done, I'll be stoked.

I've wanted Mathieu for years. With the crew we have now, that back end could be legendary. Howard, Holland, Mathieu and Jones is significant. Those 4 guys can make the Jets and Pats give up on their current QB's over the next 2 years.
