1. It's time to start mentioning Charles Harris as a potential bust.

2. For how much Adam Gase wanted an athletic tight end, he sure doesn't know how to use one in his offense. Mike Gesicki was a monster in the seam at Penn State. Run that dude in the middle of the field and throw him the damn ball.

3. It might be time for Gase to give up playcalling.

4. DeVante Parker is needed in a bad way.

5. Miami's Offensive Tackles are playing well. The interior offensive line is still a disaster.

6. Is it time to give Kalen Ballage some snaps at RB? Kenyan Drake doesn't look like the same player he was last year.
 
1) yah, until proven otherwise, guy looks like a total bust. Couldn't even call him a JAG right now.

2) yah, this is a major problem. Need to find a way to get him catches

3) don't think this will change much. At the end of the day #5 prevents us from running any offense successfully.

4) even when he's on the field he's not great, but yah his size is badly needed. Especially due to #2

5) a lot of posters took issue with me saying the loss of Sitton was season crippling. The interior of the o line was already not great with him. Without him it's a total disaster and makes any chance of a consistent offense impossible.

6) he didn't forget how to play football. The line is just abismible and he's not getting enough carries.
 
Agree with all points except number 4.

This offense needs a big body alpha wr and that's what we thought we were getting when we drafted him but he's just not that guy. I'd rather drop him and pick up Dez at this point.
 
I have said since last year Gase needs to give up the play-calling. When you have to rely on trick plays to get past the Raiders at home who have one of worst defenses in the league, that tells you a lot. And even worse, your offense gets completely shut down against a terrible Patriots defense. Again, these are two of the worst defenses in league. Imagine when the team starts playing quality defenses. It is going to get really ugly. The guy just has no idea know how to properly utilize his players to create mismatches, too stubborn to make adjustments, has no feel of the flow of the game, and the ultra conservative, predictable play-calling during the first half of games puts the defense in very tough positions in terms of time of possession which fatigues them quickly. It has got to end. Enough is enough.
 
Charles Harris is a potential bust but Parker is needed?

Devante Parker provides us with something none of the other receivers have. Obviously he hasn't turned into AJ Green like we wanted but he still commands attention, opening up our other WR's against lesser competition. Based on skill level right now, we could use Devante way more than we could use Harris.
 
I know he is a Round 2 guy, but Raekwon McMillian is a liability on defense.

I specifically watched him on almost all D snaps yesterday in the first half; his instincts aren't there, he doesn't shed blocks well, we already knew he doesn't have speed to burn, his tackling is average at best when he is there for the play.

I know about the knee, I know about him being a run stopper....fact is he was a Round 2 guy put in the position to be starting Mike this year. I don't fault him, this is on the organization, but regardless of who caused the problem the reality is we need a Mike linebacker badly.

Charles Harris is worthless. I saw more push and pressure from Woodard in 3 series than I have from Harris in 2+ years.

He provides great measurable's and that where it ends, unfortunately football is more than just your speed height and weight. Maybe he would help if games were played at the combine but they're not. Parker is nothing special and never will be, that why the last time he scored a TD was September 24, 2017--more than a year ago now. Even AJ Derby has scored two TD's in the last year.

1) YES!
2) I don't get it either
3) It's way past time
4) Absolutely!
5) True, but Tunsil is still committing too many penalties.
6) I'd like to Ballage get his hands on the ball. But I'm not sure Drake is to blame or that he's not the same player as last year. It goes back to #5 as a contributing factor. No one has ran the ball well the past two weeks - not counting Gore in garbage time yesterday.

I'm not disagreeing with the fact that he is a bust, I'm just saying he helps the offense right now much more than Harris helps the defense. Harris barely plays and he is healthy, I may be wrong but I think Parker had the most reps at WR in his one game? Also notice how Stills, Grant and Wilson all had very productive games when Parker was in? That sideline catch in the raiders game was huge and was a bigger play than Harris has made all season and Parker played 1 game..... They are both busts at this point but Parker is definitely more important to the team. If Harris was getting sacks and was injured then it would be a different story but the guy is actually invisible.

Typical Dolphins bullshit. Get me excited about the most freakishly gifted TE to join this team since Keith Jackson (20 years ago) and then proceed to not use him more. Yes, he needs to learn how to block. That's a given, but he can learn how to block AND catch the ball.

Agree with all but I'll say this.......you said Gase doesn't know "how to use the TE"........the real problem is that he's not using him at all!!
Few years back this team turned Wallace into a posesion WR and now we're trying to turn a gifted pass catching TE into a freaking blocker!!
