Mediocre Dolphins Offense

[MR.HARRYtheHAT]

A single drive provided all sorts of hope for a previously mediocre Dolphins offense. Defending the run, however, doesn’t appear to be any easier for Miami this year. The Dolphins lost to the Atlanta Falcons 16-10 in Friday’s preseason opener, but the final score was meaningless. All eyes were on the Dolphins offense that scored 19.8 points per game last year, sixth-worst in the league and replaced former offensive coordinator Mike Sherman with up-and-comer Bill Lazor. Yet for everything that went right on offense, the Dolphins run defense — which ranked 24th of 32 NFL teams last year came out flat. Miami’s linebackers especially struggled against the run last year and it was more of the same Friday.Instead of signing or drafting a new starting linebacker, the Dolphins shuffled around the group this offseason.

Harry, not sure of your dislike of the Dolphins. Where they great last year with all the distractions...No. But Miami finished 8-8 and 9-7 on the positive side for a betting man.

I like Miami, especially playing at home as dogs. Nice 6-1 against the spread for a gaming man the past two seasons.

Miami's will be greatly improved offensively this year. You just wait and see

also if you realize how many games they had the lead with like 8:00 to go in the 4th qtr and lost them or they would have had a winning record.they can't be any worse than last year and like i said ,i don't think they were that bad of a team last season

I think they beat the Pats at Home this yr on their opener as they usually go 1-1 with the Pats. At Home vs the pats, theyre 16-9 SU and as a home dog, theyre only 3-6 SU but having lost their last 3 home games vs the pats when they were a home dog, I expect them to win. Id def take the points though.

MIA will win more gms than last yr. Like Key said, they were very close in a lot of those losses last yr, but because of "O" ineptitude, they couldn't complete the comeback. And in the case of those last 2 gms they needed to win just 1 to make PO's, the "O" failed from the very start of the gm. Running gm was pathetic, Tanny was on the run most of the time, & when he did have time, Mike Wallace was dropping a lot of balls or running the wrong route (oh & a few cases of alligator arms). I have to believe that w/a far more stable oline, the "O" should be better.

I think MIA competes for the div finally.
