Positives from today’s game against Jets!

That was really disappointing and a lot of it was on Fitz and some errant passes
I have to wonder how much the hit affected him. He seemed to go off the boil after the dirty smack to the face. Minor concussion?

As for Tua ... was anyone else ROARING at him to turn back when he started going out as a blocker on the last play of the game?
 
- Tua debut!!! After 1 career game Tua leads the NFL in completion percentage. For real though was exciting seeing him getting in. Fitz was hype the stadium went nuts was a joy to watch.
- Xavien Howard ties NFL record for consecutive games with an int.
- Christian Wilkins came to play, big sack multiple tackles, multiple batted passes. And a sweet leap frog over Brandon Jones.
- Ogbah 2 sacks continuing to stack good consistent games together.
-Shaq Lawson made some plays too set the edge on a TFL for Roberts where he blew the play up. And also forced an intentional grounding that took points off the board. Stuff that doesn’t show up on stat sheet but impactful.
-Jakeem Grant had his best game, caught balls thrown his way, made some very nice punt returns, caught the ball cleanly on returns.
-Myles Gaskin May have had his best game he ran so hard and caught the ball well 126 total yards.
-Adam Shaheen made some plays the seam busting 43 yard catch and another TD to open the game and get us off to an early lead.
-Brandon Jones came in late made a huge TFL on Gore on a 3rd down and nearly had a pick 6. Gotta catch that though.
-Overall it was a fun win but we have to get better, we shut out a putrid team but we didn’t play very well. Secondary looked good

Getting ALL TEs involved.
 
It was great to see them stay within themselves and not look past the Jets.

What can you say about Gaskins. Just awesome!!! Kid is a pleasure to watch.

Nice to see Fitzpatrick gift TD passes to Sheehan and Smythe.

Loved the aggressive play from the defense. That's what you get with CB's like Howard and Jones and a coverage safety in Rowe. Your front seven can attack the LOS and QB.
Not nice when you started Gesicki in FF, haha.
 
Another big positive from yesterday is that it looks like BB is what we thought he was without the GOAT at QB. Liking seeing them at the bottom of the division.
To be fair, they lost a lot of players to the covid sit out, but granted a lot of that has to be taking a break from Belichick's environment that sours players because now without Brady they aren't getting a Super Bowl from enduring it.
 
The biggest positive from the game was the secondary. Two weeks in a row they've completely shut down the opposing passing game. This secondary has come to LIFE, since Byron Jones' return. Even Iggy and Brandon Jones got extensive playing time in the 2nd half of the game. Brandon Jones was used as a LB playing close the the LOS and Iggy played his more comfortable role as a boundary CB.

This could be the beginning of something very special in Miami's defensive backfield?
 
The biggest positive is coaching. We were laughed at by some Bears fans for grabbing Adam Shaheen. Look at him now.
I have to give props to Flores for starting Myles Gaskin. Sure Gaskin might not be elite but look at his numbers!

82 att 340 yards 4.1 ypc
27 rec 182 yards 29 targets - 93% catch rate!
His pass protection is second to none.

He is a steady producer and I like the kid. Seems to be getting better with more burn.
 
To be fair to Brady-Belichik, Brady went to a stacked team, while New England bled major talent this offseason.
 
To be fair, they lost a lot of players to the covid sit out, but granted a lot of that has to be taking a break from Belichick's environment that sours players because now without Brady they aren't getting a Super Bowl from enduring it.
The team they lost to has the same issues...
 
Ogbah is starting to shine.....if he keeps going we might need to sign him to an extension. I believe he is only on a 2 year 7.5 million per.
