http://dailydolphin.blog.palmbeachp...to-make-series-of-risky-bets-on-2018-offense/ Nice article, makes sense when discussing what the Dolphins are hoping for next season. Will it come to fruition?? Usually it doesn't but we are due.
Focus on the offensive line for 2018, and everything for the offense will fall into place with Tannehill back. Wouldn't hurt to bring in an actual threat at TE, either.
Agreed. This offense regardless of who the QB has been, has never thrived without a legit threat of a running game. Get some guy's who can pave the way and a seam TE and the offense will be just fine in 2018.
Problems I have with that article: - Thill was not a caretaker in 2016. He did play at a Top 10 level once the offense and Gase were on the same page and Thomas & Turner were cut. Lieser than goes on to contradict himself quite a bit, by saying they'll rely on Parker but doesn't know for sure. Saying Larsen will start at LG but then saying we don't for sure. He does this with a number of things. This is a typical filler article that is necessary for these writers to sustain a living, but are ultimately nothingburgers.
I think the team will end up needing Parker to get his head out of his *** more than any of us would like. If we lose Jarvis, which is a real possibility, my expectations for the offense next season go way down. Fact is we still need players to make this thing work, our issues last season were beyond a healthy QB. Get a reliable 2 back like C.J., seam stretching TE and get some solid GD interior lineman. However if Landry goes? We have to find another decent WR. Stills isn’t nor will ever be a #1 WR, Parker must prove it or gtfo. Hopefully we find common ground with 14 or we may be in trouble.
My bet is Landry is gone. I really hope I lose that bet, but he's asking for too much money and unless he lowers his asking price he'll be either tagged and traded or traded.
I think he's gone as well....and I think he's already sealed his own fate by having his agent saying that the Dolphins organization is bad-mouthing him to the media to keep interest from other teams low. The Fins have every right to say someone isn't a vocal leader or that they're worried about unsportsmanlike penalties- I'd be mad if they weren't saying that.
What scares me, I have no faith in Parker whatsoever and if we get rid of Landry, our receiving core will become ANOTHER hole on this team. While we already didn’t have that alpha #1 wideout to begin with, losing Landry would make the position a weakness. I’m not a Tannehill hater by any means, but you can only get away with a mediocre at best receiving core if you have a more than solid Qb. Tannehill needs at least a few weapons to succeed like most QB’s do. Landry is likely gone and we will have to find a way to fill the gap with possibly a cheaper free agent WR and/or a late draft pick. Grant or Morgan need to step up and be our guy in the slot if Landry jumps ship.
In my opinion they/we don't have another option anymore. As much as I like Landry if he's asking for alpha receiver money, then there is no real point in keeping him he's no Julio Jones. He's a slot receiver and we still have Grant, who I think will make a step forward next year.
Grant or anyone else on this team is so far from Landry, I had said this in another thread that if Juice leaves so does RT career, he doesn't have a TE he has a one trick pony in stills and parker is as about as reliable as a screen door in a hurricane. Landry will go to another team and will be a standout top 10 receiver, I see everyone comparing him to Julio jones that's a bad comparison 2 totally different sized players and toally different skill sets. Juice in green bay would absolutely kill. or I was even thinking this last night.... what if breese and payton which im sure they will but just saying they stay in NO and they resign every key position and then add juice. that would be unreal.
