At least Chubb was a solid young player when they acquired him. That move could still be productive. But that Brady one basically cost them a first round pick for nothing. Oh yea that’s impossible to argue cuz the Brady tampering they lost a first for no return lol chubb was such a weird trade though they are loaded with pass rushers…I think they thought they had a chance to mask their lb/cb coverage issues if they just brought the house often which gave them a path to playoff success but it just didn’t work out that way. These great afc qbs are athletic and can buy themselves time which exposes all the issues on the back end of their defense even if tua was healthy and they snuck by us there’s no shot they were beating the chiefs too that kc oline was too good last year.

Most years, “nothing” would be an average return for the Miami’s first round pick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideNine Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 30 minutes ago, Generic_Bills_Fan said: I just can’t understand why the dolphins didn’t look at what the jets are doing and try to emulate it. The dolphins are 100% win now from a front office perspective but their team needs to rely on winning a shootout against josh Allen and the bills defense to win the division. their team is built completely backwards to compete with the top dogs in the AFC. Tua is not gonna win a shootout/track meet against mahomes or josh Allen. If the bengals don’t get their offensive line turned around the dolphins match up pretty well with them at least because pretty much all they’ve loaded up with on the defensive side is pass rushers the jets could pick up a veteran qb for relatively cheap and they are at the same level of being a contender as the dolphins…it may be less fun to watch than what the dolphins are doing but who cares Truth. They would have a boring as hell offense, but would drag most teams down to the wire where a field goal or broken play would win it. A "W" is a "W" whether you win by 3 or by 40 points. So a team can win with a strong defense and a boring offense that takes care of the ball. Can be like watching paint dry unless you really like watching defensive games with hockey-like scores.

They could have traded the pick for a vet player, while they might have missed on the Chubb trade they definitely injected a lot of talent to their offense by trading a first for Hill.

Oh yea I am definitely pro hill trade for them he’s a lot of what makes that offense work, it just took away a lot of their safety net if they missed on a few picks/trades and sped up the timeline on when their window of being competitive opened up. I don’t think he’s a guy they’ll ever be able to replace and idk how long a burner wr can be at max effectiveness without losing a step. I think the jets were built in a way where they could get a couple years out of rodgers and draft a guy to take over and they’d be competitive longer than the dolphins. of course who knows now with the rodgers injury they might fall into the infinite loop of drafting a qb and throwing them to the wolves with that bad offensive line Edited October 2, 2023 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so glad to FINALLY have a defensive scheme that wants to hit somebody in the mouth. If we're gonna die I wanna die going forward and attacking not absorbing and waiting for the other guy to screw up.

All the short motion outside is completely out of their view. It's possible an off-ball rusher could time those, but it turns into the same type of situation with the New England FG block that everyone was enamored with - as long as there is variation in it offensively it's not something you can time up. Linebackers can though and we brought a lot of simulated pressure with linebackers blitzing and DL dropping it seemed like to me. I’ve gotta watch the all 22 which I will be happy to do since there’s not much better than watching us blow out the dolphins 😂 that late sack absolutely seemed like a LB jumped the snap due to timing his rush based on the motion but maybe that was more of a one off thing and that one play stood out to me more than it should have though. Can’t remember who it was but they got a big time running start Edited October 2, 2023 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two firsts could’ve gone a long way if used correctly the hill trade they traded pretty much all their wiggle room if they made a front office misstep for a great player If they added a linebacker that’s a beast in coverage and a good corner to play across from Ramsey Kohou could go back to the slot where he belongs and their defense would have a shot at being good I never understood the hype about Vic Fangio this offseason. It really reminded me of us years ago, bringing in Rex Ryan to an extremely talented defense. He was supposed to take us to the next level. But his system never fit with the players on the roster, and it never meshed on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami is in worse cap space than the Bills next year and have Tua on his 5th year option along with a bunch of UFAs. They got a lot of work to do to maintain what they have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami is in worse cap space than the Bills next year and have Tua on his 5th year option along with a bunch of UFAs. They got a lot of work to do to maintain what they have. They are reaching the tipping point of having to draft and develop players in order to maintain a good roster. And their roster is seriously flawed right now. Their defense is not very good despite having some pieces (Howard, Wilkins, Phillips and a few other good players) and they have a bad offensive line. Hill and Waddle are amazing, they appear to have found a very good RB in the draft this year, Mostert is also a good fit to add speed to their system and Tua when healthy executes that system really well. But they will need to get better along the offensive line and get better defensively in order to avoid losing shootouts consistently. They haven't had a strong draft class in several years so it remains to be seen how they can develop long term. I doubt if they add Tua on a sizable 40-50 million dollar contract they will be able to sustain any success beyond being a flashy 9-10 win team that gets bounced early. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
