Preview time with Mina? This is better than Christmas.

@gelandres 17 күн бұрын

Both Mina and Taylor Kyles are on point with everything about the Dolphins. It's all about the OL. The issue is that McDaniel comes from the Mike Shanahan system that believes they can get away with an OK OL, and GM Grier also doesn't value paying OL. For the Dolphins to go further than last year, Tua is going to have to escape and find his 3rd read consistently, and Weaver's new-look D will need to gel and be healthy and better at season's end than last year's D.

As a Bills fan Taylor got it completely right regarding our offense. If we become run first, increasing our commitment from the games with Brady last year, we are unstoppable. Either the opponents come out with the light boxes and we run wild or they stack the box and Josh feasts.

@joaobezerra2494 18 күн бұрын

Also something that even the analytics which are way more pass heavy than it is viable agree is that teams should run more on 3rd and Medium. I would love for us to become very run heavy on 3rd and Medium and then very aggressive going for 4th down.

If they can't figure out some way to block or stop people, you're gonna see a lot of OBJ melting down on the sidelines.

I think its going to be harder on the offense for the bills than ppl think because yes diggs wasn’t utilized as often but HE WAS STILL THERE and his presence alone was enough to shift defenses when you take that away defenses will start to focus in different areas and personnel im not saying josh is gonna take a step back but i do think it will be a change in the first half of the season

@thesedaze2381 14 күн бұрын

The Bills have three receivers that excel at getting open, Samuels, Kincaid and Shakir. The shift defenses will have to make now is pick your poison. As long as Samuels gels with Allen before the start of the season we won't skip a beat.

Side note: admit i dont know if this is true but I’ve seen a report that a lot of the offensive players who aren’t hear anymore mostly comes down to the fact after that game tensions were high between McDermott and a lot of the offense players n they never completely forgave McDermott for that.

Dolphins better add another Olineman before the season starts

@kmshark12 17 күн бұрын

I'm doubting they will... people need to realize that what McD saw in Tua is the BEST QB to make his running scheme work... he's able to focus on athletic linemen that may not be great pass-blockers, but can move and be taught how to block in his complex run game - BECAUSE - he has a QB that can consistently process and deliver the ball accurately FASTER than anyone else. We regularly have Oline players getting beat bad, but Tua gets the ball out so fast, it doesn't matter. I used to think the decline of the O-Line was the biggest issue for the offense later in 2023, but I do think it was more the consistent injuries to Hill/Waddle and the lack of depth keep the 'system' clicking.

The Bills did Not get better. Their window might have closed. In what world do the Jets have the Best O-Line in the Division, but they do, to go along with that Defense. If Rodgers is merely good, good luck. You can pick any team in the league and say if these 2 or 3 get hurt it's trouble.

Hackett is the worst OC in the entire NFL. He is there because Rodgers required it, and Rodgers required it so he had no one to be accountable to. Good luck with that Jets fans. The game changer on your team is a 40 year old QB coming off a major injury with zero track record on this team, no accountability to the coaches or his teammates, who made $10M per play last year. And with NFL rules biased in favor of passers, and your game changer at QB, the plan is run centric. Brilliant.
