Practice Squad
I know, this is a Dolphins board and all but I just wanted to get a non-bias opinion of my team. I did not make this thread a poll because I don't just want, "10-6." I want your opinion on my team. Be it thoughts of a good season for the Saints, or a season that we wish will soon be forgotten. I just want an honest opinion.
Anyway, I'm also gonna add my thoughts and prediction of your Miami Dolphins. Granted, I don't have the knowledge you all have of your team (Except for Ricky who was probably my was player when he was with the Saints.) but it's atleast a non-biasis opinion of your team. Here we go:
QB
There seem to be mixed feelings with Jay Fiedler. Some feel he has earned and performed well enough to be your #1 Qb and then there are others that think Fiedler is not the answer at QB. I myself feel Fiedler is a pretty good QB and deserves some respect as he hasn't got much around the league. I feel he is a good leader and although he doesn't produce monster numbers, he gets the job done and plays good when the game is on the line (Note: I'm basing my thoughts of him playing good under pressure on the one game I saw him play against who I think was Oakland where he orchastrated a game winning drive late in the game.)
RB
Ricky was my fav. player when he was with the Saints, (I did not really want to trade him.) So I know what he brings to yall's team and also what he doesn't. I'm not going to talk about the trade or anything like that and please don't bash me or even say I'm wrong with my analysis of Ricky. I know Ricky better than you all do as I’ve watched him for the last 3 yrs. (Every single game for the last 3 years)Anyway, what Ricky does bring to you all’s team is consistency. He averages about 4 yards per carry and runs best right up gut. He also catches the ball well and you all should get some pretty good receiving numbers out of him. What you all should not expect from him is to run east and west real well or break for any real long gains. He does get some really nice carry’s of 12 to 20 yard (especially in the 4th quarter after he’s worn a defense down) but don’t expect him to break for many carry’s of 20 yards or more. He will not do well though an efficient nice passing game. God knows I’ve watched to many teams come in, put all emphasis on stopping the run and our QB is unable to open up the defense with the passing game.
WR & TE
Your receivers look pretty good this year. Gadsdon, McKnight, and Chambers should do real well for yall. All that would worry me is having a true #1 receiver on your team. I’m sure everyone’s hoping Chambers will step into this position after a great rookie season last year. TE seems ok also as I saw first hand what McMichael can do. (Got to give him props for that TD verse the Saints in the preseason.)
Other Positions
- Your Defense I feel will be as always really good this year with Thomas running all over the place, Surtain and Madison making up probably the best CB duo in the league and your huge defensive line. (Big run on sentence. :) )
- Offensive Line looks suspect this year. Better hope they pick it up as they are a key to Ricky’s success. I feel this is the key position for Miami to have a good season.
- Olindo Mare and Mark Royals make a great pair at kicker and punter. Olindo is one of the best kickers in the league and Royals is a good journeyman punter who also used to play for the Saints.
