I always forget that. They were not very good when they beat the Bears but than they really went on a roll.

I'm not sure how the skins will do this season but I bet Omar will be shocked at the result. I see skins winning this game, I really do.

Doesn't mean we won't go 6-10 or worse just think the team will be jacked up and ready for this one, especially with all the disrespect locally and nationally.

Hello. I have enjoyed browsing your forum.
Omar isn't for everyone. A large percentage of Dolphins fans do not care for him. He doesn't have a filter. He just speaks his mind.

I think every fan is optimistic going into the first game of the season.

Some possible misconceptions:

Miami actually runs the ball pretty well. Lamar Miller had 1100 yards at 5.1 per carry last year and he looks even stronger this season.

Our O-line was pretty bad last year. Brandon Albert was out and players played out of position all season. He is a pro bowl player that is back. Mike Pouncey at C is also a pro bowl player. James at RT has been solid. The weak point is a rookie at RG. Fans do not expect quite the mess we had last season.

Miami is stacked at WR. They had to keep 6 WRs so no one got poached. Devante Parker is a big kid with a huge catch radius and is expected to be a red zone threat. Stills is a speedster. Jarvis Landry is one of the top slot guys in the league. Mathews is very solid. Jennings can still run excellent routes. Cameron is a pro bowl TE who is great if he is healthy (concussion issues). Dion Sims is an excellent blocker.

Tannehill is going into his second year with this offense. He looks a lot more comfortable. In preseason he posted a 121 QB rating with 0 interceptions completing over 80% of his passes.

The starting Defense allowed 3 points in all of preseason. Wake lined up next to Suh and it wasn't pretty. It looked like they were up against high school players.

Our biggest weakness is at LB where we have inexperience. The safeties and CBs are talented. Depth is a concern all across the team. If we lose a player or two at certain positions, the season is over for us.

I can't speak intelligently about your team. All I can go by is the preseason games I watched on Game Pass.
I hope you guys enjoy the season.

Any given Sunday. I failed to mention that we have rookies at kicker and punter. Special teams disaster?

We don't have rookies at either position of kicker or punter.

Greetings Huck!
Omar is not for everyone? Let me help with that. If the small int I heard is any indication, calling him egotistical, self serving and unrealistic would be...charitable (not to mention possessing extremely poor manners).
BUT back to the Fins. I think they will be improved and possibly a contender in division. The juggernaut he described....hardly.
The Skins secondary is still suspect and may still prove an achilles for the team. The O line is a work in progress, but at times....good. Who knows what we will get in QB play...could be anywhere.
All starters are back, and if they play to expectation, the Fins will get a game if not a loss. If not, well....
Good luck to you...but not to much!
HTTR!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. There is absolutely nothing wrong with fans picking their team to win. Thats what makes us all fans.

I do not think we can win this game straight up, we need a gimmick, and that would be Kirk (or Colt)running the pistol

Yeah, there are a bunch of question marks heading into this game that make it hard to call. Many unknowns.

-Will the staff find a way to run the ball effectively?
o will the TE blocking be adequate
o if the TE blocking isn't adequate will their be an adjustment in the run game?
o will the staff stick with the run if its not working early?

-Which Kirk do we get?
o With balanced playcalling will Kirk be able to be a productive passer without the turnovers?
o With pass heavy playcalling can Kirk carry the offense without turnovers?

-Will the rightside of the OL be liability, adequate or a strength?

Defensively what will Barry's scheme even look like?

-How will the secondary perform?
-Will Hall be ready to play?
-Which Dash do we get?
-Which Amerson do we get?

-Who will be the opposite rush linebacker across from Kerrigan and can they bring pressure? (Please let it be Jeffcoat in pass rush situations)

-Can our DL and rush package look as good on the field as they do on paper?

-Will the return units finally give us decent field position with the addition of Crowder?

I'm questioning myself because I'm wondering the about the same things.

Was really worried about the running game after the Baltimore 1st half.

The gospel according to Cooley this evening was essentially if they take the running game away from us by putting 8 in the box, like Baltimore did, we need to be prepared for the typical west coast short pass game.

Reminds me of the Pats/Ravens playoff game last year. There were a couple of drives when NE didn't call a single run.

It's a pretty safe bet IMO. If you're the D coordinator for Miami who do you test, Morris and Jones or Captain Kirk?

We just need Kirk to destroy his phone and connect on passes for positive yardage and keep our offense on the field.

I'm wondering more about our D.

How much of a role will Pot Roast have with their fast paced offense? It's not really hurry up but it is close.

If we can't get off the field after 3rd downs it's going to be a long day.

I think Miami will get consistant pressure with 4. They ended Matt Ryans night real early in preseason. I haven't seen them bring the house yet.

You guys need to get something outside and quick to move the ball. You have talent with a RB catching the ball and making plays in space.

I was alive for that one but do not remeber it. I do appreciate your style though.

No need to apologize. I'm in your house.
