Bright Future

by Weedseed1 | 7 years ago | 0 Comments

The Miami Dolphins had a terrible season winning only 3 games. The Dolphins were one of the lowest ranked offenses and defenses for the entire season. They lead the league in fumbles, 2nd in allowed sacks, and 3rd in thrown interceptions. Defensively, they were able to get to the quarterback thanks in large part by defensive rookie of the year canidate, outside linebacker Francis Bedell. The Dolphins were 16th in forcing fumbles, with four coming from the rookie, and bottom 10 in defensive interceptions. With all that being said, there are many bright spots. This team played almost all rookie talent. You could see the defense molding into what Coach Snyder invisions with a ful offseason bringing in players for his system. In this article, we will be going over the bright spots, future additions and subtractions, and the season to come.

Early on, this team learned that it had a turn over problem, and they problem did not go away the entire season. We expect this issue to be addressed big time in the offseason. First, I expect this front office to continue to put effort into improving the offensive line. Rookie tackle, Shawn Luzar has made huge strides, and will be an elite offensive linemen in this league, suring up the right tackle position for season to come. Pair him with ever improving Tunsil, and this team has a very nice line in the making.

Probably the biggest bright spot on this entire team was rookie 5th round pick Francis Bedell. One of the biggest concerns for this team coming into the season was how they would replace the great Cameron Wake. Bedell proved he was the answer all season, racking up 21 sacks in his first season in the Redzone. With the emergence of Bedell, we also saw Verlon Morgan grow leaps and bounds. The rookie corner started the season off rough, matching up agaisn't the other teams top receiver, but ended the season with 4 interceptions. Lastly, we saw Raekwon McMillan grow into one of the best blitzing inside linebackers in the league bringing down the quarterbacks 12 times.

This team has a long ways to go, but with a top 5 pick in this draft, and a 2nd first round pick, this team has potential. This Dolphins team had a rookie in a promenet role in all most every position group. The secondary had first round pick Verlon Morgan, the linebackers had 5th round outside linebacker, Francis Bedell, the offensive line had first rounder Shawn Luzar, and the undrafted rookie Russell Ruegamer was the teams bell cow back after trading Ajayi.

This team had a very good draft in what many called a weak draft. With more draft capitol and a much stronger draft, with smart selections, this team could make vast improvements. Look for this team to look at the quarterback market to jumpstart their offense, and don't be surprised if they bring in a running back or 2, either through the draft or free agency.

Overall, this team has made great strides and could make a push next season given a good draft. Key areas this team needs to improve are; secondary, quarterback, and defensive line. Look for this team to make alot of moves this offseason.
