Alright, after watching the first half of the Dolphins Bears Hall of Fame game I see only 2 real major isssues.
1. Offensive Line
2. QB
We have the running backs Ricky Williams, Sammy Morris, Lamar Gordan and hopefully soon to be Ronnie Brown are all good runners in my opinion, but without the holes to run through nothing happens. Even as I watch the Bears I see the OL push back our DL 3 to 4 yards so even if there isnt a hole atleast its a gain of yards. Our offensive line seems to get pushed back or just stood straight up so the RB's have to try to wait for a hole to open. I will back up the OL with one aspect. I feel that AJ holds onto the ball sometimes to long...I watched Gus step up in the pocket when needed and have a quick release. The front office should, IMO try to get a big strong offensive linemen to try to open up those holes and protect the QB alittle better.
The QB's. Im reading some people saying that AJ looked good? 4 for 7 for I think it was 34 yards with a big dropped pass by #88, Thompson. When I see AJ, I see a guy that has potential but holds on to the ball to long, takes the big hits, and throws to many interceptions (from watching last year). Now Gus i felt did a good job with the O. He drove down the field from our own 2 yard line (where AJ left us.) He led the team to a FG and a big TD before halftime. Sage thus far looks good and also drove the team down the field for a TD. With Boston, Gilmore, Chambers, McMichael, and Booker there are 5 very good recievers in my eyes that can all catch and do something with the ball. There are not many teams in the league that can say that they have 4 , 5 or 6 players that can all have big play capability. IMO i think Miami has to draft the next "big" QB to lead the Dolphins for years to come or spend the big money on a superstar type player. Brees or Rivers from SD or any QB that everyone knows can lead a team. AJ and Gus may be ok for 2 or 3 years but i dont see either of them leading us to the Super Bowl.
The Defense is not impressing me but it is early and I gurantee that Saban will make the necessary changes and adjustments to make sure that alot of the problems dont happen again.
Again this is just my opinion, so just let me know
