I don't know whether Miami will win its final against the Jets or not. But here are some of my takeaways from the season.
1. I love the emergence of Tannehill. He still has a ways to go, especially in terms of consistency and choosing to run the ball more often when under pressure.
2. Miami needs to find a position for Jordan. With the way Wheeler is playing that would seem like the obvious spot. The lack of playing time for Jordan has been one of the biggest disappointments. He has looked good and made plays when in the game.
3. Love the emergence of Vernon --- along with Clay one of the biggest "good" surprises of the season.
4. The need for offensive linemen in obvious. Miami needs to find at least one upgrade in free agency and then look to the draft.
5. The offense still needs that big, physical receiver and this draft has some of those players. Evans and Coleman to name a few.
6. I'm really disappointed in the play of the linebackers. What type of salary cap hit would Miami take if they part ways with Wheeler?
7. Is the lack of a running game due to the offensive line, the running backs, or the coaches not sticking with the run? Probably a little bit of all three.
8. I'd love to see the Dolphins re-sign Grimes and add one more shutdown corner. If a top corner falls to Miam in R1, the Dolphins could likely fill the need on the offensive line in R2 and R3.
9. One late round running back I like is James Wilder Jr. He has some injury issues, but breaks tackles and can block.
10. Hartline has really proven himself this year after a breakout year in 2012. One of my favorite current players.
11. I think the team has become too "finese." We need to add some physical players, especially along the offensive line.
