When Dolphins knew they had something special with Waddle and why a Miami coach laughs now

[Mach2]

Not going to lie I did want Kyle Pitts (Being a Gator fan) but Waddle would’ve been my second choice, and I’m super happy with the pick not only is he a quick, fast and shifty receiver he’s also played with Tua at Bama and that camaraderie they have is gold imo.

Not to mention by all appearances he's as tough as a bag of hammers.

Waddle: 77 catches, 759 yards, 4 TDs, 1 rushing TD
Smith: 48 catches, 686 yards, 4 TDs

I’ll take Waddle any day

Seems pretty clear cut to me.....

And keep in mind that Waddle has 4TDs in 62 Tua targets but 0 in 41 Brisset targets. 72 ypg from Tua but 50 ypg from Brisset. 11ypc from Tua 8ypc from Brisset. And a 75% catch rate across the board.

D. Smith should be good but I think Waddle will be great.

Could have chosen D Smith costing less to acquire who is arguably having just as good season

I see you are displaying your "vehicle" in your AVATAR.

Good to know you can drive a stick - LOL

Thanks for posting brother.

This kid is going to be a regular member of post season awards. When (not if) we get a solid line to allow routes to develop, I don't think he can be covered 1v1 consistently.

Agree with the article. His speed goes beyond typical top end guys. His "suddeness" out of breaks and change of direction is top shelf uncanny.

His route running in general is that of a veteran wideout, and will only improve with experience.

I know Chase has arguably better numbers this year, but I wouldn't trade Waddle for any young reciever.

I couldn;t believe he got ran down the other day. I was expecting him to take it to the house for sure.

I thought he was taking that to the house as well, guess that safety had the angle to slow him down so the guys behind him could catch up with him.

Waddle has dragged a putrid offense (minus Tua and the games Gesicki shows up in) this whole year, I seriously can’t imagine how bad that side of the ball would be without him. Kid is going to be a top 5 receiver and sooner rather than later

Smith the only good WR outside of Goddert so similar to the Fins

Like those 9ypc guys?
Hey I like Waddle but sorry they are comparable

2 guys had an angle, and it's not like those corners are slow.

Look at where Philly’s line ranks and then look at where Miami’s is and then think about how that would affect ypc numbers… unless that’s too tough for you

There goes politeness

Can you compare Tua and Hurts throwing the ball? Or is that...oh nevermind

 

[studsatele]

I wanted Sewell. But I also know, Waddle is 6 waiting to happen, from anywhere on the field.

Not quite. If you take away their leading rusher, which is Hurts with 600+yds, they still have 300 more rushing yards than us. They have a better OL and they keep defenses honest. That’s the recipe for getting 14ypc in case you forgot because you have been a lifelong Dolphins fan. You can’t just run your receiver into triple coverage and expect him to go up and make a play on a timed throw. That doesn’t work. We tried and got picked off 4 times. Lol
