@ckparrot@SiClancy Question isn’t about Malik, it’s about Sully’s legacy. Does he want true competition? Does he think there’s a QB he can develop? Does he want to spend resources to start a run for the SB since his rookies are playing above average? An answer will arrive by the end of April
@ckparrot@SiClancy Next year, the true evaluation starts. Trying to figure out if a QB is the one in this specific situation is disrespectful for everyone involved because everyone lacks preparation time. It also applies to McCord(he’s even in a worse position since he was planning for GB season)
@ckparrot@SiClancy Evaluation, for everyone involved, starts next year when they can build the team they want, not the team they could have with all the financial limitations. Even rookies can’t be evaluated properly since they have been in Miami for 6 months without a full NFL offseason
@OmarKelly Allowing Willis to heal while McCord shows what he has and if he’s capable enough to be a backup in the league is an important thing to do for Miami. McCord has had enough time to learn the playbook. How WR adjust to a new QB is also important knowing that they’re mostly rookies
@JJthePhinsFan@NealDriscoll I wanted Slowik to call more RPO but today he called one and Dulcich ended tripping with a teammate which might be one of the reasons why he doesn’t use them very often. He needs better players and chemistry between them for the offense to work
@JJthePhinsFan@NealDriscoll He was calling bad pass plays early in the season, but he has corrected the way. He likes to attack weaknesses and play calling goes against logic(which is possible because Miami isn’t playing to win a bunch of games).
@DanteCollinelli Chemistry has been developed and Uche/Chop are earning juicy extensions. Consistency and health until the end of the year is still required, but the shades of a good pass rush duo is there
@flasportsbuzz Early in games, it sets a precedent and forces the opponent to second guess next time a similar situation arises. Probably doesn’t make sense right now, but later on DC will have to keep a LB in the area in case of a run play
@phillipdilling1 There was a time when he played Guard that played ok, but since the moment he was drafted, I never saw anything more than a project with a poor technique. He has been better than I thought he was going to be, but still not good enough
@DavidFurones_ This is one of the most important things in football. 3rd down is a critical situation, and being able to make those shows the abilities of the OC and team around him. Red Zone is where I think Slowik has to work the most now. But he has evolved positively
@TheListFinsPod Sieler value skyrocketed because Jags are pushing for SB. A 3Rd projects as a high 4Rd and that would get a deal done with a soon to be 32 year old DT
@HussamPatel This is how the Packers model work. A player who needs development, gets drafted and waits until the starter goes away/losses his spot/gets injured. Sellers is a project with similar abilities to Cam Newton but less polished.
@schadjoe Risky but it’s understandable given the situation. They see 3rd& short/medium as a pass/run situation, that creates havoc since teams are used to see pass plays in those. You can’t pinpoint what exactly they’ll do and that’s good but risky because heavy blitz can catch them up
@chrisperk@DavidFurones_ Since Miami had 15 rookies active vs Jets, the rookie wall will impact them harder than any other team. Even if they’re able to play good in early Qtrs. At some point, their bodies will start to get tired/injured. Snap management becomes important at that point
@chrisperk@DavidFurones_ Something that almost no one talks about is that this team will hit the rookie wall and they might not look the same. Remember that rookies haven’t had a full NFL offseason, since their bodies were being prepared to offer the best product at the draft, not to last 17 games
@OLCoachSmith63 In this very specific case,people around want Jackson to go away but since there’s no better option,they want a 1Rd to fill in that role, but that would require time & maybe it’ll never pan out.Any OL can cross train but quality will decrease every time since time/fit is required
@OLCoachSmith63 This is the right approach. There are 2 ideologies whenever a team has a good OL,one is to cross train him at a position of weakness with higher impact in the game/future cap space ramifications (OG/C to OT),the other one is to cross train him at a more natural position as backup
