2025 Miami Dolphins - Minkah is coming back to South Florida (1 Viewer)

Schefter reporting Fangio will officially accept the Miami DC after super bowl.
Click to expand...
Several things to digest and unroll here, but let me be clear that i will be very happy when he officially is a Miami Dolphin.

-He is currently working as a consultant with the Philadelphia Eagles. I sort of understand what this means but my guess is this has something to do with the money he likely still receives from the Denver Broncos. Maybe anything outside of independent consulting would put an end to the buyout or rest of his money he had coming so he does some consulting work which keeps him active and in the moment of what is happening in the NFL.

-It makes me nervous that he has to wait but he's actively working for Philadelphia and had at least a hand in their defense looking as good as it has. Remember how good Denver's Defense was under him, much better than their offense.

-These type of hirings never seem to matter but in this instance it feels like Fangio is the right guy and I understand him wanting to hear all the offers and what might be available. Still, i wish he would have jumped to come here and not acted like the reports of him being a Miami Dolphin were untrue, those were his words on Sunday when he denied being the Miami DC, would like to know what changed on M-T-W going into today and even now he wants to hold off until after the Super Bowl, what if something else opens up and he wants to take a look?

-Assuming it is all systems go after SB57, I like him being reunited with Chubb and having Phillips to toy with. I hope he somehow can keep Rip Van Ginkel around as the 3rd Edge, when he's been used as a pass rusher primarily, the guy delivers and I would like to see him for 1 more season around here. AVG is a Free Agent and will likely see some easy money pour in thru a couple offers if anyone kept tape of him. Wilkins and Sieler inside are going to dominate, keep Baker in as rush defense or find a trade partner and reload the ILB spots. Do you need more than 2 good ones these days? I'd rather 4-5 playmakers in the secondary since teams throw the ball so often.

It's going to be an interesting off season. As long as Tua is able to return, Thompson develops into a solid #2, the defense gets out of the cellar and has the players to do it(they do), then this team can start thinking deep run and finishing pieces. If there is enough money after restructuring to add 1 more piece to the OL, push off Jackson, try and save Eich if possible, the Phins should be a favorite to return and perhaps even compete for the Division.
 
The sooner the following four guys are jettisoned off the Dolphins roster the better . . .

in no particular order . . .

Jerome Baker
Teddy Bridgewater
Elandon Roberts
Danny Crossman - the not so special teams coach.

My wish list . . .

2 MLB
Safety

Back up QB

Guy has so much money... Not my problem.

Anyhow: I get it with Fangio. He knows he is sought after and the money will be good almost anywhere so why not look around.

I think that now that McDaniel seems to be the guy at coach and hopefully for a long while, that he now gets to "settle in" and build this team the way he wants it to look (ie with his coordinators. Not the one thrust upon him). I also think (hope) that having a Coach with a little more HC experience on the team is helpful, but I do think MM is a smart enough guy to go over what went right and what went wrong last year.

Finally: Can we talk about how the Shanahan system gets QBs killed? Tua, Jimmy G, Thompson, Bridgewater, Purdy, Josh Johnson, Trey Lance, Mike White, etc etc etc. We can call them freak injuries, but that is a lot of "freak injuries"

True, It is almost like the idea of "making teams come out of 2 high safety" means a lot more blitzing and more backfield injuries...
 
Vic Fangio

-10th DC in the last 9-10 years, not sure we should get excited but on the surface 3 yr deal seems to indicate they want him here and should things not turn out well with McDaniel, they do have a fall back plan for an interim coach if needed. I hate to think like that because in general I support Napolean but I guess Fangio can be the Committee of Public Safety(World History nut).

-$4.5M a year, agree with @Gatorman it ain't my money and Ross should spend more since he has been the 1st owner to ever get suspended for tampering, it should cost him a lot more to hire decent coaches. You all saw that Flores is the new DC for Minnesota? Guess that lawsuit didn't hurt his ability to find work so far. Steelers and Vikings are pretty respected franchises. And I say this with kindness, I completely understand why so many of you hate his guts. I'm not obtuse, I just can't keep my aim away from Ross. Trust me, we're all rooting for the same thing.

Next topic

Year 4 of Tua on his rookie deal, that's gotta be the focus in 2023. Regardless of wether he's offered an extension, 5th year option, or something else, the focus has got to be all in this season. If that means restructuring to get UTC $40M-$50M to put finishing pieces in place-Do IT, push off money to '24 and '25 when the cap rises close to $300M, trade the '24 1st before Ross can lose another draft pick, DO IT!!! There is no tomorrow this off season, we have caught up to the Buffalo Bills, it's FULL STEAM AHEAD!!!

The train is rolling, it's time to focus on the missing pieces.
Many of you say MLB/ILB, Jerome Baker was not terrible according to PFF, not Top 20. He isn't good in pass coverage, that we know. He's solid in rush defense.
Tindall Year 2 and new system with Fangio, maybe he can be a part of the mix, that would help. Baker did have 100 tackles and 4 sacks, he's solid.
Roberts, Riley, Ingram can all go, please keep Van Ginkel. I can see Miami bringing in another MLB but I don't know that it's the hole in the defense some think.
 
Interesting Blurb about the superbowl QBs I saw: KC had a solid starter in Alex Smith when they traded up to pick Mahomes. Eagles had Carson Wentz and drafted Jalen Hurts.

Miami has 3 day 2 picks. This QB class should have a "decent" find in day 2, unless Miami goes after a vet for the QB room, I like the idea of Drafting another QB.

I just found out with your post, I didn't know.
I'm so happy for Zach, he did this in the Junior Seau and Ray Lewis era of the AFC/NFL
He was overlooked several years when he had Pro Bowl and All Pro numbers
There won't be another Miami Dolphin that will be on the ballot for a long time.

Is Cam Wake the closest?

From 2010-2017, Wake recorded 88 sacks
I'm all ears for the players who racked up more sacks over that 8 year period which is close to a decade.
That said, I never really thought of him as Hall of Fame and we stunk so often during his time here
Wasted years and hard to gauge his true impact had he been on a better team
 
Derek Carr is refusing any trades, even to teams he wants to possibly sign with
He also is not extending the deadline on his $40M salary becoming fully guaranteed
Carr will be free to sign with any team he desires or that wants to sign him

Lot of teams need Quarterbacks and he would be an instant stabilizer for the Jets as an example and that would be bad for Miami
I think he jumps to the NFC where he can actually get in the Playoffs and make a run.

Saints are really hard against the cap — no idea if he’d play for less but they’re in baaaad shape.

But the truth is that a defense with almost the most sacks ever was sackless vs the Chiefs
I'm sure he's an improvement over Boyer, hope he can get the defense to round back into shape

$123M of the $225M Cap is going to 6 players
Hill, Chubb, Armstead, Byron Jones, Ogbah and Baker

-You can't completely make salaries disappear but they do something where they convert money into bonuses or salaries into bonuses and the players never seem to argue much about it. Currently the Dolphins are $12M OTC so I think they can find $40-$50M in there to free up but that won't give us a lot of money to go and spend. In fact I think Miami should be looking to manufacture some more draft picks and get guys on rookie deals in starting spots.

Miami had to fork out a lot of money to cover up for poor drafts selections like Jackson and Eichenberg on the OL. If they can trade a contract or two freeing up some more money and create a draft pick or two along the way, that would be ideal.

I'm very interested in seeing what it'll mean to the players we have with Fangio's system particular the 2 high safety look.

I read a bunch of stuff on Fangio's system then stopped ... I need to go back and read some more to better understand his system.

SO someone somewhere is wasting ink now saying Carr to Miami. Also saying Lamar for Tua makes sense yada yada yada.

Since I am bored, lets talk about both of these nonsensical concepts:

1) Carr to Miami. Well, he will get paid a lot more to be a starter somewhere else, so unless McDaniel and Co. want to replace Tua I don't see it. Lets assume the front office is skittish about Tua's history etc. Wouldn't they have simply reached out to Brady for a year plus rental?

2) Lamar to Miami: well, this kind of makes sense in the obtuse concept of MIami wanting to be more of a "run first" team, but how does that mesh with Tyreek and Waddle? I'm not taking anythign away from Lamar in terms of being a passer, but considering that Baltimore wants multiple firsts etc why do this? If Lamar wants to be in Miami he can simply wait a year and be a full on free agent and Miami can get him then (and give Tua another year to "prove it" or increase his worth to other teams).

Again, I am bored. I think the best QB for Miami as a back up to Tua is likely someone like Mitch Trubisky.
 
From the travadogg mock thread. He has us taking the Center from Ohio State...

Miami: I think the dolphins are set on the interior of the line, but their glaring need is Linebacker for Fangio's system. I think CB may also be a need depending on Jones and X. I know this is "shot in the dark" at this point bc free agency will clarify things, but if I were the Miami GM I'd use the 3 day 2 picks on LB, LB, and a left tackle project. Maybe a TE.

Miami by position group:
Offense:
QB Set (need a vet backup and it looks like they are all in on Tua for 2024)
WR: Set (may actually trade a player from this group).
TE: Long and Smythe and a free agent likely, but they need a Kittle.
RB: I think they resign their guys and maybe draft a late rounder.
Line: Interior is good. Need to have a better answer for when Armstead cannot go.

Defense:
DT: likely have one of the best tandems and depth in the league.
DE: Already spending a decent chunk here. Maybe draft a project?
LB: HELP HELP HELP!!!!!
CB: had a lot of injuries last year, but likely getting Jones and Needam back as well as all the other guys who got game experience
S: Again, another solid tandem. DO they fit the Fangio scheme? I think so.

Definitely need LB help, does Tindall fit the scheme?
Needham is a UFA, Byron used to play in a zone system and slowly acclimated to man.
Can Brandon Jones cover?

Great post and what I love about this is you make it easy to follow up using the same schematic or neatly laid out position by position.

I'm going to focus on #55 pick and go over a couple different strategies and ideas. We have a lot of time to discuss the Draft but it relates to your post and our first 3 picks on Day 2.

-#55 can be traded with a 2023 1st or possibly 2nd to move up. Miami can leap from 55th to about 23rd-25th, think the Vikings have a selection in there. Why would Miami trade up? I have one name I am interested in for the OL but there's a number of players that could slip to a point where you gotta make a move or trade up because the value is too much. We don't have to debate whether that's a good idea or a bad idea, it would depend on who they get but I want to put the options on the table that Miami has. I would love for them to hold some draft picks for a while but there's always a danger they lose them(haha). There are a plethora of players that likely will be there in the Mid to late 1st that will make folks wish we had a pick up there let alone 2 that we parted with. But Miami can move up into the Mid-Late 1st if they are willing to start dealing next years picks and they might need to.

-Still on #55 and I would like to see Miami address the RB position and find someone they can put on a Rookie Deal for 3-4 years and has major upside so the guy i have circled is Zach Charbonnet from UCLA, great numbers, dual threat, caught 60 of his 69 targets over the last 2 seasons, think he transferred thru the portal to UCLA but his numbers are fairly impressive, bell cow type. As you said we pretty much have the DL of the F7 locked in place, have to extend Wilkins but everything is in place. And Chubb/Phillips make a nice combo we think at OLB/Edge.

You are thinking MLB but I want to add we have the kid form Georgia who was pretty much watching all 17-18 games last year but hopefully he learned some things and can become a nice project of Vic Fangio when he arrives. Doubt Baker is going anywhere, how many MLB does Miami need in a pass happy league? I don't think it's as big a need as some of you carry on about. We had a ton of injuries in the secondary that made it look worse in pass coverage, that's how I feel. I think Fangio can do wonders with what already have on the roster, don't believe he was brought here to retool and reload the entire Defense, he's here to take these guys far the next couple seasons with as little personnel changes as possible. I do think they will talk to Byron Jones and discuss pay cut or trade, doubt they get a lot but just to clear the books after June 1st.

#77-Steve Avila OG, TCU would be my 1st option here and will pair well with Charbonnet at #55, unless Miami trades up to get O'Cyrus Torrence from your favorite college, O'Cyrus is an instant starter on the interior OL-Left Guard.

#84-Jack Campbell, LB Iowa or Daiyan Henly LB Wash ST...it's still early and these 2 guys are all over the place but they have the skills you are looking for. Personally, i would use this selection on a DB, either a CB or the Safety that is going to replace Eric Rowe and push Jones for playing time, also Jones is entering the last year of his rookie deal, wouldn't be a bad idea to start bringing along someone that might actually be better. We need another playmaker in that secondary.

That's all I got for this post, i might use the same post you have next time as well.
Cheers!

Vic Fangio presser from earlier

-Fangio doesn't mince words, says he didn't really know Mike McDaniel before he got here, still hasn't talked to him much.
-Sounds like the Head Coach has no intentions of trying to run the defense. He tried rolling the same 11 from '21 in '22 and that seemed like a good thing.

Fangio "I never studied the Dolphins"
MoP thinks the money did a lot of the talking for Fangs, not super impressed with much he is saying but again, not mincing any words.
Seems bored by the press conference
 
Daniel Jones reportedly turned down $40M, and $45M from the Giants, that's the rumor mill
:oldunsure:

Anytime you all are ready to join me in a discussion about an extension and the amount...most of you think Tua is walking on that field for $4M next year and signs his 5th year option, doesn't even blink...right! I'll believe it when i see it. Stephen Ross is getting the ink warmed up and the papers drawn.

I know you all don't want to think about an extension for Tua right now but believe me it's going to happen and I haven't wavered on this a bit since Tua sustained the concussion vs Green Bay.


-The Dolphins Cycling Challenge this Sat, MoP will be riding for the Univ of Miami Sylvester Cancer Center, I'm pretty sure I will spot Stephen Ross backing a semi-truck up to the end zone at Hard Rock as I ride into the stadium. It's quite a thrill at the end of the ride when you wind up inside Hard Rock Stadium on the field riding straight thru the end zone/tunnel.

Fangio strikes again https://twitter.com/CameronWolfe

@CameronWolfe


Dolphins are hiring Eagles assistant coach Joe Kasper as safeties coach, per source. Kasper had significant interest elsewhere but chose Miami where he will coach its safeties — a position he coached & played much of his career + learn from new Dolphins DC Vic Fangio.
Click to expand...
I'm working on the incoming class of Safeties, Corners and DBs, this is an area I feel strongly Miami might need to "Reload" at possibly RCB-Jones, SS-Jones and Nickel-Needham, those are all injury related, Howard and Holland are the bread and butter back there. Howard was injured all season.

I have a list of players that could all be upgrades for Miami. I would like to see Miami move into the late part of the 1st Round if opportunity is there and they can find an impact player for Fangio.
I could see Miami also bring in a Free Agent if they can rework a few deals and get their cap number down.
 
Tight End:

Bon Voyage Mike Gesicki, former Top 40 selection and a solid career so far.

Good News: Draft is loaded and there is a lot more than the Notre Dame TE
Kincaid, Washington, Musgrave, the 2nd and 3rd round is LOADED with Tight End prospects and it fits right into what Miami needs so please don't spend money we don't have on free agency Tight Ends unless you can get Gesicki back at a reasonable salary which seems unlikely. Someone will give him at least a 3 yr/$25M+ type pay day, doubt he gets a ton of guaranteed money outside of his signing bonus which will go right into his bank account, made $10M last year, don't cry, Mikey is gonna be just fine.

There are at least 5 or 6 names of rookie Tight Ends coming into the NFL, Miami would be wise to target one of them. I like all of them better than what we have currently on the roster.
51st and the 2024 1st Rd pick, where is Miami going to land or trade up into the 1st Rd? Grier is known to gamble and roll the bones. His draft from last year isn't looking good but there were only 4 taken. Still optimistic about Tindall and EE at Wide Receiver. I like what Wes Welker added to the offense and want him even more involved. He could evolve into a Head Coach one day.

McDaniel
Fangio
Welker
Bevell-QB/Passing game Coordinator, think that's kinda what McDaniel did in San Fran
 
Offensive Guard unless you are sold on Robert Jones next year at LG

-Isaac Seumalo, Philly, 29 yrs old, ranked 10th/77 on PFF
-Nate Davis, Tennessee, 26 yrs old, ranked 17th/77 on PFF
-Evan Brown, Detroit, 26 yrs old, ranked 33rd/77 on PFF

Not sure what these guys will command in free agency but it would be wise for Miami to clear some cap space and get another IOL to go with Connor and Hunt
Make that trio in the middle of the OL a Force! Brown would likely cost the least and nobody thought Connor Williams was going to be the guy he was last year.
OL needs some tweaking, haven't figures out Right Tackle and also a swing Tackle for when Armstead is out his usual number of games.
Hunt extension looms
 
I think it will be really interesting to see where things go from here, but I’m going to put out a weird scenario

so miami now has a solid offensive and defensive mind on their coaching staff, and McDaniel last year really didn’t mess with Boyer, so I’m sure he isn’t gonna mess too much w fangio, but! If you are going to be a head coach in this league for a long time you better understand defense and not jus t stay on “your side”.

the great thing about McDaniel is he is humble and a good communicator. This is needed now bc you are going to have to be collaborative bc fangio is going to want players for his system, McDaniel is going to want players for his system, and Grier has only so much money and draft picks to do this.

sooooooo…. It’s a collaborative effort to improve both sides to top 10 each or it becomes a tug of war. Miami must solve its running game, figure out the qb position and change their defense. The good news (as I stated above) is you only need like 2 or 4 guys for the offense to be better (lineman, te, backup qb, running back) and 3 or 4 guys for the d (linebackers, maybe a corner, maybe a safety).

as for the line and MOPs concerns: they have plenty of guys who have coached the line. They were right on the Williams move. Maybe they can be right on other things.

It was an honor and privilege to play in the NFL but it came at a regrettable cost I did not foresee. In my opinion, no amount of professional success or financial gain is worth avoidable chronic pain and disabilities. Godspeed to the draft class of 2023.
