Three weeks ago I thought Miami had a pretty good chance at giving the Bills all they could handle this coming season, with how good the Offense looked on paper, BUT, could the defense continue to play at a high level after Flores left, then a few weeks ago, Miami drafts Tindall, then this past Sunday I read Miami was signing Ingram.

Miami's secondary is good enough to make it brutal for any team for at the very least 1.5 to 2 seconds, but if we could not generate a consistent Pass-Rush without having to resort to any consistent all-out blitz to get pressure, Miami's secondary was not that good, and might fail, so I was still a bit nervous with the D.

Then Miami brings aboard Tindall, and a few weeks later Ingram, all of a sudden, if you look at what Miami has in it's front 7, if I'm I Dolphins DB, I'm working hard to get my receiving skills at top level, because a lot of passes are going to be thrown earlier then they should, or off mark after a Defensive player gets a piece of it.

Emmanuel Ogbuh: Right off the bat, our most consistent Pass-Rusher.

Jerome Baker: An effective guided missle that if you forget about him, he quickly reminds you who he is.

Andrew Van Ginkle: Though could be more consistent, nobody has his motor, he will not stop.

Christian Wilkins:Though not really a consistent Pass-Rusher, lately he has shown good pressure, and we all know, there is nothing more devastating then a Pass-Rush up the middle.

Jaelan Phillips: The future, started slow last year, but once he started getting comfortable, he is going to be a huge headache to slow down, when a Linemen has to block him.

Channing Tindall: Just a raw LB that was not given as much time as his other teammates at Georgia, yet on a team loaded with Superstar LBers, he was the most dangerous Pass-Rushers, with ridiculous speed for a 230 pound LB.

Melvin Ingram: Not the player he used to be, yet still a better Pass-Rusher then most linemen in the NFL.

To say I am excited for the coming season, is an understament, because though the Bills have to be the favorite, ON PAPER, Miami this Sunday pulled up right next to them in the claim of the AFC East Champion.
 
I agree. Grier obviously had Buffalo in mind with several of the moves he made.

Hill is a mismatch nightmare for any team. Tindall will likely be used primarily as a pass rusher/spy early in his career. He is essentially the perfect addition to help the Dolphins matchup against Josh Allen and other mobile quarterbacks. As good as Miami's defense has been the last several years, mobile quarterbacks have given this defense fits.

Ingram is more about depth, but he has played well against Buffalo.

Best chance at a championship is to win your division first. Hopefully, Miami can compete with Buffalo.

I have faith in Boyer. I do wonder if our Dline rotation has enough beef.

Raekwon needs to show up big in year three.

I think we will beat Buffalo this year. We are not the same team.
 
The thing about the defense is: Jaelen Phillips should take off from the jump. You’d expect big mental and physical gains from him as well as the game slowing down.

The OTHER thing about the defense is. Jevon was great last year. W the F is he going to do with a year under his belt after not playing in 2020 because of Covid. Dude is going to wreck games. I mean he already did but now DCs need to worry about another player. I am not people realize that Holland is going to be the best safety we’ve had in 3+ decades.

2021: WOW. When I hit home runs with picks 6, 18 and 36 (probably the best value pick of the 3) the follow up should be special. On that note, let’s see some Hunter Long. With MG on the tag, Long could be a surprise gem moving forward.

Do you add Hicks for a similar deal to Ingram’s? I’m on the fence. 17M vs 13M in cap space is a big difference going into the season. If you can squeeze him to 3M + incentives then you gotta do it.

Clowney? No. I heard he and Suh might be going to GB.

Not much more in the way of defensive help before last cuts in August.

I think we roll with what we have.
