"All I know is the players that I've talked to in the locker room in the building, everybody's ready to take that next step. And that's all of our goals is to take that next step .... and close? They've already been close. I'd like to progress further. And so whatever that means ... I've been in the league long enough to stay away from stamped headlines. A lot of things can happen, but I can tell you that the expectations are to move forward. And when you're a game away, I'll let you fill in the dots."

Why the Dolphins Are Going for It and Why They Had No Choice

The Miami Dolphins made some big splash moves after shoring up their depth and re-signing their own players early in free agency as proof they're done with their rebuilding phase

The key is having the majority of our younger players take that next step. Obviously, Tua is the most important player to up his game.

I still believe a couple of the young lineman will develop with a competent coaching staff. I believe Hollands and Phillips will get better. How much more lethal will Waddle be?

Our coaching staff will be the difference. Showing faith and trust in your key players such so vital to team success.

I feel waddle was going to get better just from another year and learning as well as him being and still growing into his body. But I can't help to think Hill will help waddle learn even more as well as training with him. This is an exciting time to be a dolphins fan.

This quote gets me.

There are two ways of looking at this, first that the Dolphins are knocking at the door because they were a game away from making the playoffs each of the past two seasons and second that there's work to do when you consider that in the money games those past two seasons they lost by 30 at Buffalo and by 31 at Tennessee.

Pretty obvious the way we structured the Hill, Armstead, Jones and even Ogbah contracts. This is the year. Should be fun. Or could be an enormous disappointment.
 
The line that stuck with me...Miami had to keep up. So many teams in the AFC swung for the fences and went all in. Denver adding Wilson, Watson to Cleveland, Ryan to Indianapolis etc.

Had those quarterbacks landed in the NFC, the Dolphins might have taken an entirely different approach.
 
They have a window with the core of this group…this season will determine if Tua is good enough, if not they have draft capital next year to get the QB they can win with….don’t be shocked if Brady is in strong play next year should Tua fail…..
 
Very important moves to my eyes ... with today's crazy QB contracts, the time to win is to spend all your money during your QB's rookie contract; because when that comes due you have to cut a bunch. If Tua works out then that's awesome but we'll have to pay him soon; if he doesn't then we trade/cut and draft someone who hopefully can perform at a high level like a Burrow early on. That is not a sustainable model but I do see it as a viable one for the Dolphins right now.

I don't know.....one of those three doesn't seem to fit IMO.
