He wasn't uncovered. He ran into double coverage. But both safties are trash.

Both Hamlin and Johnson are out of their league. Do not have the physical ability to start.

Why are we playing for the FG? That's not the style of this offense.

Would be nice if Milano picked, but instead Josh going to drive Miami D down again in this heat. Wear them out and score. Long run this may work out better. Positive vibes.

Lol no, he's got gloves on. You every felt those gloves? It's like duct tape on your hands

Tua must have crushed some of that Russell Wilson brain juice. How he got cleared to go back in but Josh Allen didn't a few years ago is crazy.

Concussions are serious and we need to be conscious of player safety. Do not let Tua return to this game. I am only thinking of his own health and safety. Do not let him pay the rest of the day. -Signed, an innocent concerned fan.

I feel like the fan base still hasn't adjusted to what this team is. We have the best QB in the NFL, i funny care if the defense is in shambles today, we have Josh Allen. We will win this game regardless. It's going to be exciting but we will win. Coaching staff needs to adjust and understand we are not stopping Miami with disciplined assignments, play for turnovers and big plays, let them get yards and score outside of that, you need to get turnovers.

Any starting caliber saftey does. They are late to the ball because everyone else is bigger, faster, stronger.

Hamlin and Johnson got absolutely undressed on that drive. Need to dial up the QB pressure and take the responsibility off the secondary.

You can address backup safety without an all pro player and without a day 1 or 2 pick you realize that right? Spending and end of draft dart throw on 2 players in the 6th round that do not have the size nor athleticism to be an NFL caliber starting safties, provide no value other than sitting the bench and fit the profile of special teamers is not what i would qualify as trading the backup S seriously. Ideally you need at least 1 quality backup that could fill in at either spot, then the other backup can be a Special teamer mould. It could be a mid round pick 4th round or so, or it could be a veteran safety. We are paying Matakevich and Neal over $3 MM each to be purely special teamers, zero monetary excuse to not have a quality backup at safety. I hope these kids produce and fill in well enough, Iwill be rooting for them because our success depends on them, I'd rather be proven wrong and have them succeed and win them proven right and not... but i believe there's a high likelihood we look to upgrade via FA or trade. Super Bowl contender standards are different.

Those are the only safties we have drafted in like 7 years certainly the only ones since Beane and McD been here. End of the draft dart throw at guys that lack size and athleticism and have zero role in the defense other than sit on the bench. Do you honestly have the slightest bit of confidence in these guys taking over as starters? They don't have the NFL caliber build or athleticism to be starters, so what are you developing? I get we are strong at safety in full health, but with both safties into their 30s you need to have a better plan. Ideally one JJ/Hamlin on the roster, then at least 1 serviceable backup that can flex between the two positions or get on the field as an extra DB. These guys might get you by against the Jets of the world but you honestly feel good about trotting them out there vs KC, Cinci, LA? No way.

It's not an overstatement, you post a bunch of splits, but if your look at the size of the players, their speed, their agility is not close, you have massive gap in 40 time (speed), 3 cone (burst/ agility), reps (strength) and all while Hyde is a larger physical player. Hyde is a guy that posts figures overall around 50th percentile, he's not some uber athletic specimen... JJ on the other hand is undersized and posts measures in the bottom percentile. Links to their profile in context of percentiles before. We are going from a middle of the back athleticism to bottom of the league. That's a massive gap. https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/micah-hyde/ https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/jaquan-johnson/

When i say we have ignored backup safety and it is the weakest part of our roster, and you respond by saying not everyone can be an all pro, that is the literal definition of a strawman argument. And now you just did it again saying you can't have a highly paid player at every position lol. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/straw-man-fallacy/ What is a straw man argument? A straw man argument, sometimes called a straw person argument or spelled strawman argument, is the logical fallacy of distorting an opposing position into an extreme version of itself and then arguing against that extreme version. In creating a straw man argument, the arguer strips the opposing point of view of any nuance and often misrepresents it in a negative light.

Oh stop with the strawman. All pro every position? Be serious. We have made zero investment at all in backup safety and we have 2 guys in their 30s. Johnson lacks athleticism and size and was drafted in the 6th round 4 years ago. Hamlin is a rookie drafted in the 6th, also bad bottom 25th percentile athleticism. Throwing grinder special teamer type 6th round pick against the wall isn't a serious investment. Maybe the kids surprise but this is a weak link of the roster.

Lol what? Bernard too small for safety? He's 30lbs bigger than Poyer.

Umm... sorry but there is a MASSIVE gap between Johnson and Hyde athletically, pull their profiles on Playerprofiler.com ... Johnson is near bottom percentile in every athletic measurement, plus he's undersized. Not a good combo. Hyde is bigger eh 4.56 speed, Johnson is small with 4.69 speed. Eesh.

Backup saftey is the biggest hole on this roster, has been for years, we have competely ignored it and now that is about to rear its ugly head. We are going to need a trade. I will be floored if Johnson or Hamlin is anything less than exploited.

This is where Von takes over a game on defense

For the betterment of the team i really hope he pans out this year. I had a lot of hope and promise for him are that first year and year 2 was an exciting year, but the last 2 years have been so frustrating. ...but here's the deal... he's still only 24 years old!! He came into the league so young. Some guys are rookies at 24!

I hate the 90s Dolphins more than the Pats. We were never good at the same time as the Pats, when we were good they sucked, when we sucked they were good. There has never been a real rivalry, unlike the 90s Bills v Dolphins.

Obviously the Panthers signing Blackshear means CMC days are numbered...

65 MPH winds, that's how.

I know it's too soon to say any of this, but watching this kid Benford play ... it makes me upset we took Elam over Breece Hall. Kid is balling.

The one thing i love about Tua is his arm strength. Makes me feel like even i can step on a field any Sunday and be an NFL QB.
