The Phinsider
Our Miami Dolphins have finally admitted to the accusations from fans and the media alike that they have been too soft. Chris Grier then followed up the admission by spending their first two draft picks on big and hopefully mean players to man the trenches. With that, I asked the following question this past week:
So, with the knowledge that the team has finally, at the very least, attempted to address the lack of being a “tougher” team or “nasty” enough in the trenches during this years draft, do you believe that the team is finally headed in the right direction, or do you think that this is a little too little a little too late in an attempt by Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel to keep their jobs beyond this season? Has your confidence in those two gone up if you were out on them? Are you still out on them and believe it’s time for a refresh in the front office and with the coaching staff? Are you a fan who has believed all along, and does this only further instill confidence that they are finally going to figure this out?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers to the PQOTD-
dolphinfan1323 says it's a little too late and that the whole thing is going to hell.
It’s a little to late Mike has lost the team and skill position players are gone or aging sould have been done years ago the oline still has major question marks from health and unproven players and a complete lack of depth they drafted 1 offensive linemen and signed one coming off major injury and lost their best offensive lineman Armstead to retirement no guarantee this offensive line will even be better than last year
Bill Moody says it reads well, but let's see how it works in the real world.
I like what they are trying to do on paper, but until we see it translate to results, the narrative remains. And while I love what they did in the 2nd round to move up and get a beast of a Guard, I don’t think we can just add one guy via FA and one guy via Draft and say we’ve fixed it. More needs to be done, and I think more will be done before kick-off in September. So yeah, I like the direction on both sides of the ball in respect to building the trenches, now we need to see it work when the cleats meet the turf (my rubber meets the road analogy).
Alley Gator believes the problem lies more in the team not doing a good enough job of keeping their own players, rather than always having to replace them a few years later when their departures leave glaring holes in the roster.
Christian Wilkins was drafted #13 overall in 2019.
Robert Hunt was drafted in the second round (39th overall.) the following year.
So did drafting...
