After 5 games, the Miami Dolphins passing game is still crawling down the field in a phone booth..
- Yards per Pass Play: 6.2 yds (ranked #30 out of 32 NFL teams)
- Longest Pass Play: 35 yds (ranked #31 out of 32 NFL teams)
- Passer Rating: 81.5 (ranked #26 out of 32 NFL teams)

The season can still be saved, but drastic changes have to be made.
- Bench: QB Ryan Tannehill.
- Rest & Rehab: WR Brian Hartline (knee). He's clearly struggling.
- Rest & Rehab: WR Brandon Gibson (knee). He's clearly struggling.
- Rest & Rehab: TE Charles Clay (knee). He's clearly struggling.
Instead, play..
- QB Matt Moore
- WR Damian Williams
- WR Rishard Matthews
- TE Gator Hoskins
REASON: Ryan Tannehill & Matt Moore are both mediocre QBs. But at least Matt Moore throws a nice deep ball. The Miami Dolphins have a $60 million nuclear weapon, that is currently hibernating and collecting dust. It's called the Mike Wallace deep go route. Ryan Tannehill is unable to unlock this weapon. Matt Moore might be able to.
Hartline, Gibson, and Clay are great when they're 100%. But they're all clearly struggling, and likely not fully recovered from knee injuries. For a skill position like WR, playing at the highest level in the NFL, not being able to fully explode through cuts is a big deal, especially since none of those 3 were blazing fast burners to begin with.
With Matt Moore throwing good deep balls to Mike Wallace, Damian Williams, Gator Hoskins, along with Jarvis Landry continuing to rip up the middle, the passing game should become more explosive, and give us a real chance of making the playoffs.
We're currently crawling to a certain death. It's time to make the change. Let it fly. Let's see what we've got.
