I was wondering since we brought in one more te and we drafted two wrs will we use a 3 wr , 1 te and 1 rb set , or will we use a 2 te set 2 wrs and 1 rb set ?

I hope we will use a 4 wr set and 1 te to block on some offensive drives.

it would be cool to have Fasano and the new te ( i forgot his name ) up on the line blocking and see Ronnie on the the line on the opposite as a decoy and then send Bess and Ginn 20 yards deep .

or it would be cool to see
Ronnie and Cobbs in the Backfield and have Camarillo , and Bess on the nearside and Turner on the far side.

anyways i am getting excited for football and hhope we will throw the ball deep for a change of pace more this year.
 
Depends on several factors, including how many WRs the Phins keep (somewhere between 4 and 6) and how many they have active any given game. Then we have to look at down and distance. Short yardage? TEs dominate. We may run some spread this year with 4 WRs. Long yardage? At least 3 WRs, maybe 1 TE plus Cobbs in backfield.
 
Sporano was saying they want to run more spread offenses so we will have more 4 WR sets for sure...We ran a lot of 2TE sets as well so I doubt that is going away any time soon as the coaches have repeatedly mentioned they like that offensive set. Thats why they always stress having a tight end that is a good blocker. That will be the two most run sets i think.
 
I am kind of curios to see what the new te that they drafted can do. this teams is starting to take shape and if we could add more depth at dt and linebacker and cb then we should compete to win the divison.

What sucks is all we heard about when he was drafted was that he catches everything his way. But everyone has their down time. I usually catch everything but sometimes I just can't catch worth ****, and it's a surprise when I finally do catch it
 
I believe that when the coaches took a look at how their schedule is shaping up, they found that they will be facing a lot of weak and/or undersized secondaries this year. They might have gone so in depth as to find that the teams had weak nickel/dime packages. When looking at the strength of those packages, you look for the team's #3 and #4 cornerbacks, but also their #3 and #4 safeties as they might stick one of those guys in on dime.

I know that the very first team we will face this season, the Atlanta Falcons, has one such secondary. All of the corners are 5'10" or so, and they all weigh like 180 pounds. The safeties are not well-sized except for the new rookie William Moore.

You look at the Colts' secondary and they have better size than Atlanta in their starters, but their nickel and dime guys are both smaller (Tim Jennings is 5'8"/185, Dante Hughes is 5'10"/190). Bob Sanders, of course, is 5'8"/206. None of the backup safeties have great size, they're all around 6'0" and 200.

You look at the Saints' secondary, much the same. Remember the Dolphins likely laid out a strategy before the draft, and so the drafting of Chip Vaughn and Malcolm Jenkins may change things. But headed into the draft the Saints had a 5'11"/185 Tracy Porter and 5'11"/190 Randall Gay as starting CBs, with the 5'8"/180 Jason David and 5'11"/180 Jabari Greer sitting behind them. Usama Young (6'0"/200) and Pierson Prioleau (5'11"/188) were their best backup safeties. If you're facing the Saints, you had to be thinking to attack the secondary with bigger WRs and 4-WR sets. But, they may have predicted this and that could be why they drafted the 6'0"/204 Malcolm Jenkins and 6'1"/215 Chip Vaughn right away with their first two picks in the draft. If I were Miami I would keep to the strategy and test the rookies.

Tampa Bay's backup CBs are Torrie Cox (5'9"/181) and Kyle Arrington (5'10"/192).

In Carolina, the backups (C.J. Wilson and Dante Wesley) certainly have size, but they don't have much experience and aren't necessarily good players. I wouldn't call them deep at that position.

In Jacksonville, the backup CBs are Scott Starks (5'9"/176) and Brian Witherspoon (5'10"/175).

In Tennessee, the backup CBs are Demarcus ***gins (5'10"/178) and Ryan Mouton (5'10"/180).

That's a total of 7 games, half the schedule, where at some point you might have to seriously consider going after under-talented and/or under-sized backup cornerbacks. In order to do that, you need to bring the 3- and 4-WR sets out onto the field.
