We're 1-7, past the trade deadline.

Players aren't going to change much, the regime is likely safe until the end of the season.

So aside from different players/coaches/management what would you like to see for the 2nd half of the season?

For me growth from the O-line and QB would be at the top of the list.

The best thing that could happen for this team is for the Qb to grow as much as possible.
 
Good points. I would add more creative pass rush, and development of Jaelan Phillips.

I would like to see young players, including Igbo, show some progress. But, there are a lot of guys in this category.

We have almost no playmaking on either side of the ball, and I would love to see some guys make some plays. If we made a play or two in some of these games, we could easily be 4-4. Easily.

Good call on Phillips and Iggy Bananas. The lack of play making - there just aren’t enough dynamic athletes out there. I think our offense would look very different if we had a more dynamic RB and the O-line could simply hold their blocks a bit longer.

Our O-line hasn't been good but it's improving IMO. So many young players.

I think a big part of it is continuity. It stands to reason if you let these guys focus on one position and one only, they will get better individually and as a unit. The coaching staff messed this up by not having the unit set as to who plays where to start the season. Every game was shuffling of multiple positions. Any wonder it was a hot mess? Let’s let these kids develop in the positions we have them in and don’t screw with it for the rest of the year.

I'm curious as to why Hunt at RT was abandoned? He seemed pretty solid there last year, especially in the 2nd half.

1.. Tua (is he a player you build around or not)
2.. how many offensive lineman are worth a roster spot next year
3. iggy and doaks and long. play them a lot and see what they are
4. phillips. put him in different spots and see where and if he excels
5. van ginkel. is he just a decent backup and special teamer or can he become a playmaker
6. preston williams, albert wilson, fuller, hollins. who is wr 3 after waddle and parker
7. is smythe, shaheen, carter worth roster spots next year
8. bring in a FA punter (cant get worse than what we have)
9. make 1 OC
10. go back to the amoeba defense

Good post.

I also want to see if Flores can make some adjustments. I understand the ball control offense with the struggles of the offensive line, but have to be more aggressive and at least try to make some plays down the field. Waddle has game changing speed. How about some deep routes.

Miami gives a lot of cushion to wide receivers IMO. Why not play more physical early in the route with Jones and Howard?

Agree with you on playing time for young players and bringing back the amoeba defense. Maybe make some variations to it.

Finally, I really think Miami needs to find more balance with the running game.
