no sad about Bell. It's early, especially when you take into consideration there was no preseason... I imagine Brieda will show more
Brieda had one nice 31 yards screen run against his former team last week, showing more speed than Gaskin ever has. But Gaskin may have better vision.Sam Quentin said:I agree that they need improvement at RB. I am not sure that Bell is the answer. He always seems to be more trouble than he is worth.
i thought Brieda would do more....
At first I thought that was the schedule for the Fins and I was about to play taps...Lot of things were terrible today and the score is not reflective of some things Miami needs to work on,.
-Gaskin was great, run blocking getting better.
-Parker had a rough game, Gesicki doesn't get enough targets and they need him to open up the offense.
-Miami is now 3-3...
Pitt 5-0
KC 4-1
TEN 4-1
BUF 4-1
Balt 5-1
CLE 4-2
LVR 3-2...7th Spot
Miami 3-3
Colts 3-3
Patriots 2-3
Ogbah is really the one worth retaining. Need to upgrade the interior of this line because it is still far too soft against the run.Miami Defense in 2021, many of these pieces are here to stay for a bit while we benefit from our QB on a rookie contract thru 2022 at least.
Ogbah-Raekwon Davis-Wilkins...that will be the starting rotation likely on the DL plus several others we are discovering like Sieler and Shaq Lawson is kind of an OLB in this 3-4 but he also is a DE on pass situations it would seem. But that is likely the DL and I see Ogbah being retained, Miami has a $7.5m option next year or they can release Ogbah and no cap hit, I hope they keep him, can't imagine they wouldn't but you start to ask if a longer deal should be discussed but it's still early. Godchaux I've mentioned is likely gone after this season so I would liek to see Miami perhaps be a trade partner with someone for Davon, if he walks and is signed to a significant contract then I believe Miami will recoup a Compensatory Pick which new England is notorious for doing, something Miami has learned from Flores since he got here.
I'll break this up into a couple posts, LB and Secondary to follow in a bit. I know Miami will continue to look for playmakers on defense but they have a few already and the DL is starting to take shape, that's a new thing down here.
Excellent observation. Yes and that's why I write this stuff out so I can get feedback. Davis was drafted this season, my thinking was he could be better by next year and then perhaps we draft another DL to play Nose Tackle. In this 3-4, you really don't have to carry as many guys at DT, WIlkins is about 300 and I think in college played DT and he starts at DE for us.Ogbah is really the one worth retaining.

Saw a tweet of him sitting alone on the 30 yard line, long after the teams both went in. Just laying there taking it in. Meant a lot to him getting on the field.Desert_Power said:What a moment seeing Tua take the field today. Also great to shut out the hated Jets. The defense is playing well but, like MOP said, the offense is going to have to play better.
You never know what someone like Davis could do with a full offseason and I think Zach Sieler has shown well inside.Excellent observation.

Miami will have about $45M to perhaps $50M+ to play with this off season by my count. Maybe DLine is an area they can sign one more playmaker type to go with another solid in the Draft. I don't think they should offer an extension to Godchaux.
he was literally calling his mom (& dad) so fckn coolSaw a tweet of him sitting alone on the 30 yard line, long after the teams both went in. Just laying there taking it in. Meant a lot to him getting on the field.
Yep - same spot on the field he originally got hurt.he was literally calling his mom (& dad) so fckn cool
2 possible explanations:Hard to understand this. Fitz hasn't even closely reached his usual expiration point of needing to be replaced.
shocking@AdamSchefter
Dolphins have a bye this week. When they rerun the next week for a home game against the Rams, Tua Tagovailoa will be their starting QB
As for the former, that might have been the plan but this team looks on the rise and maybe could get to the playoffs.2 possible explanations:
The bye week has always been the target date for Tua
or
Dallas is trading for Fitzpatrick after Dalton looked incompetent.
I'm betting the former, but wouldn't be shocked by the latter.
The latter is the only thing that makes sense. Unless Tua has been tearing it up in camp, which wasn't the case early on. Fitzpatrick with Dallas would be exciting. Plus, we probably wouldn't sign him in 2021, as he's worth too much. Now is the time to get value.2 possible explanations:

Fitz has to be getting traded. That is weird timing considering Miami is playing great and is a legit threat to make the playoffs.Tua has been named the starter
I can't picture for a second Fitz being a Jerry kind of player. Stranger things have happened thoThe latter is the only thing that makes sense.

The best part of seeing Tua come on was seeing Fitz laughing and waving his towel and leading the crowd in cheering for Tua.Desert_Power said:What a moment seeing Tua take the field today.

It's a fair question - I would bring it up in the Parker thread.Okay what does this do for the value of Parker?
Not going to question Flores given the job he's done, but one would think that he would deviate from the original plan if the team is clicking. All that said, we don't see what goes on in practice.Listening to local and national radio, the take is that the bye week was always the week for Tua, if he was ready. And too late for Fitzpatrick to take the reins in Dallas. Fitzpatrick has value as a mentor to Tua.
Yes sir.If they can determine Tua isn't the answer, better to find out in 2020 than 2021. We have draft capital.
I wouldn’t have thought this was a possibility either before last night. Dalton was brutal though. Like, first time playing football brutal. Dallas has the weapons to win obviously, and the division is one of the worst in recent memory. I can see them kicking the tires on Fitz.I can't picture for a second Fitz being a Jerry kind of player. Stranger things have happened tho
And this is exactly why I think Fitz will want to be the back up in Miami for...I was trying to find a number that would work, is $5M for 1 year enough money to keep him interested in the Phins, keep his family safe close by, it's a 45 minute plan ride to Tampa, Stephen Ross can loan him his plane since he doesn't do anything else constructive over there.I get why now for Tua. Fitz did nothing bench worthy but I get it. I don't see Miami trading Fitz or him agreeing to a trade.. his wife and 432 kids still live in Tampa he won't wanna leave them.
I'm excited for Tua but Fitz has been my absolute favorite QB to watch play
.I think Wilson is a better comp for Tua than Murray is.
Lol we can only hope he has a similar career as Russ. Just saying I think their skillsets are very comparable..
You're getting my blood pumping in a good way
I haven't even had my first beer yet, saving up for the WS tonight, Go Rays!

I felt the same exact way looking back.The way Fitz was cheering Tua on I would imagine he knew about the post-bye move to Tua plan ahead of time as well.
