Random thoughts about this mess...

[NBP81]

• Fins are getting 6 YPA on 1st and 10... Tua was getting 9.3 in the NE game and was getting 6.8 last season. Brissett is getting 5.3. Basically, Brissett is barely outplaying the Fins running game on 1st down... Which is downright ridiculous.

• The coaching staff isnt helping Brissett all that much, basically only ~10% of Brissett's passing plays involve play action, I've also noiced how they weirdly go to empty fields on downs with 4 or less to go... Why? This ones crazy to me, You've got Brissett who holds on to the ball way longer than all but a couple of QBs and just wont throw it more than 5 yards most of the time and decide to tell the defense that you are NOT running on 2nd or 3rd and 3-4 yards...? What do you expect?

• This regime is either the most clueless bunch in the NFL or their job is secured. There's absolutely no way you keep AJ at LT this long, keep fielding Grant back there game after game, keep 5 TEs on roster, bench Ibuprofen unless 1) Someone told you you've got time, 2) You're completely in way over your head. There's no other alternative. The decision to build the entire OL with kids AND coach that OL with a neophyte OL coach is one either made by someone who's got either: Time or mental illness. No sane person with job security issues or a sense of urgency builds their offense this way.

• Hunt was pretty much the Fins most consistent blocker last season at RT, AJ wasnt getting it done last season and he's not getting it done this time around either, as if it wasnt enough that he's responsible for alot of negative plays, he's also responsible for negating a bunch of great plays. To come back to the previous point a bit, its flat out obvious that this OL would perform better NOW if Eich and Hunt were the bookends. Me, you, everyone knows this. Are Flores and the 2 stooges that stubborn or have they been told they can take their time and build it the right way? This team is ****ed either way IMHO. The mistake isnt here and now, its thinking you can hit on an entire OL made up of rookie contracts by the time your rookie QB isnt.

There's so much wrong right now I think I could litterally go all night with this...

Worth noting that while the OL really wasn't good versus NE it still was better with Eich at LT than it has been in the 3 games with AJ back there.

Grier / Flores trying to save face by persisting with Sackson .... a new regime with no ties would outright cut him. Atrocious pick.

 

[HarryBagpipe]

Teams a dumpster fire. Nothing new. Ross is clueless

Ibuprofen

Im wavering between clueless or unbridled arrogance. Regardless, no job is secured in the NFL. Flo and co keep this up the entirety of south Florida will be calling for their heads. Even if they were promised time, that’ll evaporate quickly.

 

[GhostArmOfMarino]

As much as I rag on Tua, him coming back and proving himself as a QB is just about the only way to salvage the season at this point.

The line has at least been...not as bad as against Buffalo the last couple weeks. Though Jackson keeps sucking, I was wrong about him so far ill be the first to admit that.

 

[Delsolar16]

It's a first-time head coach overseeing a first-time O-line coach and first-time offensive coordinators while they coach rookies and 2nd-year players. It's the blind leading the blind and it shows.

I would keep Eichenberg at LT and bench Jackson. During practice I’d let Jackson get reps in at LG. Perhaps he could salvage his career (he is still a kid) at another position. I just don’t see him ever being a good LT as he plays scared; his first reaction in pass pro is always to back pedal. This causes him to have absolutely no punch and defenders just run him over.

 

[EasyRider]

This is the first time I’m questioning Flores. Three OCs in three years? And now two idiot co-OCs? I still think he knows how to coach football players but he’s lacking doing the hiring of his staff.

I'd rather be salvaging Kindley at guard. I want someone who can move a defender there and Jackson plays like a weak little B.

Who ever brought in Jacoby Brissett needs to be shown the door and take Jacoby with him.

 

[LargoFin]

It's up to coaches to decide whether Brissett plays to win or not.
WRs need to start playing to win, and start making catches and gaining yards, they are making good money, a lot of money. It's not good enough to wake up to play in one quarter of a game.
We cannot expect these running back to play better. They are not capable, it is what it is.
Scoring will remain a problem, we do not have the backfield to score a lot, QB and RB. But, receivers must be better and that will help.

 

[FinFan17]

Somebody said we don't need a running back, well how are the RB's we got? How come they aren't doing anything? The Dolphins had numerous chances to draft a quality back in the last few drafts and totally ignored the position. The rushing attack has to be among the worst in the NFL along with the QB play.

 

[Dollhouse]

Has there ever been such a dysfunctional professional sports franchise as this one? I mean come on, this is 20 plus years and we just now seem to have hit a new low. 30 damn draft picks and I can't think of one baller.
