I mean every NFL team should have at least one right?

On offense I guess it's Parker, maybe even Gesicki now. But on defense? Safe to say Miami still has 0 stud players on defense especially after today. Even with last week you could have said it was Jerome Baker but did he even play today?
 
I can tell you that when on the 1 yard line you have a pretty effective player in Jordan howard. Hell were even paying him $5 mil to fulfill that role.

No excuse to ever not give him multiple shots in a row to plunge into the end zone. He’s one of the best in the NFL at it since he’s entered. He’s been successful both situations where they attempted it, last week and 4th quarter today.

When they went run w/ fitz, followed by two passing plays where fitz blew em both (LB didn’t stay w/ gesicki, threw it up anyways and was almost picked) and then made a bad throw to Preston, not sure Preston would have scored even if he caught it but I’d have to look again.

They left our 5 million dollar goal line running back sitting on his yams 3 times in a row. That ain’t okay

Maybe that's all Miami will do with him is make him their Lagarrette Blount and just use him for goal line situations only.

That’s all they bring him off the bench for. And gaskins has looked okay so that’s fine. But if that’s his role then friggin use him for it. Not coming up w/ points there ultimately lost the game. Howard should get 4 straight plunges there.

And not to mention, he’s incredibly successful at the goal line. League tops.

I don't see a difference maker on defense. Some good players like Howard, Wilkins and Baker. But offensive coordinators have to be drooling to play the Dolphins.

Parker and Gesicki are the best on offense, not counting Fitzpatrick who clearly isn't the future.
 
They drafted Tua to be an impact player, so hopefully that works out. Gesicki and Parker are the best receivers on the team but I am not sure I would consider either of them impact players. Neither are pro bowl type players and to me to be considered an impact player you at least have to be a pro bowl type player.

On defense I don’t see a single player who I would consider an impact player. You have a lot of mediocre players who might play decent surrounded by 3 or 4 impact players on defense but right now, it is what it is. You have a bottom tier defense that is going to have trouble stopping most NFL offenses and I will be surprised if most of the starters now on defense are even on this team in two years.

Miami definitely doesn't have a Von Miller or Aaron Donald like player where offensive coordinators stay up all night scheming for.

The throw to Preston hit him in the chest. Bad choice to throw to him but the throw itself was perfect
 
If they keep relying on scheme they will keep ending up with this... definitely need more explosive players on both side of the ball.. watch the league and see all these active lbs run around and make plays .. makes a guy wish

Definitely behind him and is the reason it might of been stopped short.. still should of been caught. You want that ball another foot to the right

No sir that ball was clearly behind him. Still want the catch made but ball was shy and he might not have scored

What’s weird is even when we had Suh etc we still gave up 500 yards. I don’t get it at all.

Suh is an incredibly overrated player. While he is an athletic freak for his size he got a lot of his production simply by jumping the snap and only occasionally getting called for offsides. We also signed like 5 linemen that year without signing or drafting a single linebacker, meaning we were literally starting undrafted free agents not long into the year.
