2017 Miami Dolphins

Question

Its been awhile

So I come back to talk to you about what else, the Miami Dolphins. I was going to do a very long write up and tell you every single thing about the Dolphins, but there is no point. I'm not here to convince everyone who reads this how great the Dolphins will be. I'm here to let the people who respect my opinion (however few that is) know how I feel about this team. There is so much money to be made on this team, I highly recommend you take advantage

So I will keep this very short, and to the point. Why are the dolphins going to be very good this season? Two words.

Talent and depth. Now your opinion of the Miami Dolphins right now is probably "They got lucky to go 10-6, and got killed in the playoffs they were a fluke." If you look into this deeper you can easily see its not true. Heres why.

1. They were 1-4 at one point (while Ajayi was on the bench) and went on a 9-1 stretch. You don't go on a 9-1 stretch in the NFL with luck alone.

2. They did it without arguably their best player on defense (reshad jones) their #1 Corner missed the last 6 games or so (Maxwell). They played the whole season basically without Mike Pouncey, and ofcourse Ryan Tannehill missed the last 5 games. Simply getting these players back will add so much without the depth they added in the off-season.

3. Their D-line speaks for itself, but that got improved by taking a DE in the first round. I have always been concerned with their LB, but really like the unit now with Alonso and Timmons and LB drafted in 2nd round.

4. To me in the NFL you can't win without good CBs. You just can't in a pass happy league. I am really happy with the dolphins secondary. Reshad Jones, Byron Maxwell, Xavien Howard, Tony Lippett, Nate Allen, TJ Mcdonald (susp first 8 games) and a CB drafted in the 3rd round...Michael Thomas who started at safety the last 12 games is now the 3rd string. Talent and Depth.

5. The Dolphins offense is loaded with talent. Ajayi had 3 games over 200 yards rushing last year, and the WR team of Landry-Parker-Stills is top 5 to me and undeniably top 10. If Julius Thomas does ANYTHING for this team their offense could average 28 points a game. They also have a secret weapon who is one of the most underrated players in the NFL. Damian Williams. If there is one player on the dolphins who you should know about but don't, its him. His highlight reel from last year for the Dolphins looks like Reggie Bush at USC.

6. Coaching. Adam Gase simply put is the man. Only time will tell but I know he will be the future of the Miami Dolphins. The players LOVE him, but he is a hardass. The moment I realized is when the Dolphins were 1-4, and playing at home vs Pittsburgh...I actually bet a lot of money on the Steelers. They were -7 or so I believe. I was ready to give up on the dolphins and Tannehill. Their season was over. Then something happen. The Dolphins came out with more energy and passion then I've ever seen in my life. My friends had been ripping me all week, and I agreed the Dolphins kinda sucked. 5 minutes into that game, I texted my friend and said the Dolphins are actually going to win this game. I was sure of it. Thats how much passion and energy they showed that game from the opening kickoff. Watch the highlights of that game and see. That was game 1 of their 9-1 stretch.

7. Last but not least, how can you talk about the Fins without Ryan Tannehill. Now, like you last year when the Dolphins lost to the Titans and were 1-4 I was ready. I was so close to giving up on Tannehill after years of defending him. My brother gave up after that game, and I was so close but I didn't...Wow, am I glad I didnt. He showed me something the next 10 weeks that sold me 100%. He went 7-1, and threw for 12tds and 2 ints in those 7 wins. (He sucked vs Baltimore in the loss, but any Dolphins fan knows the Ravens OWN miami. Always will. Flacco is 7-0 career vs Miami) More importantly, something everyone has been waiting for happened. The

went on. It happened week 11 vs the Rams. The dolphins were down 10-0 with 6 minutes left, and then Tannehill put together a TD drive and then one of the best game winning drives I've ever seen. Watch the highlights from that game to see what I'm talking about if you want. The light flashed on. Then the next week he threw 300yards 3tds vs SF, (insert ravens game. where he played well. 30-40 but 3ints because of tipped passes and the Ravens owning Miami and needing to throw every down.) Then he threw for 200 yards in 3tds in the first half vs Arizona....Then hurt his ACL....Now I know you probably don't believe me that the light flashed on, but if you want to have a serious talk about Ryann Tannehill. Watch the highlights from the Rams game, the Chargers game, and any random game from the 2nd half of the season and tell me Ryan Tannehill isn't a top 15 QB...Really catches a lot of hate for how tough he is, and throwing for almost 20k yards 106td and 80ints in five years.

There you have it. My short version of the Miami Dolphins. So you take this team, a team that won 10 games, and has a very good off season. Not to mention gets some of their best players back. So what is their win total?.....7.5

Also 66/1 to win the Superbowl. Now I'm not saying they will be going to the SB but those odds will be down to about 10/1-15/1 at some point...Also +375 to make the playoffs. I don't understand who is making these lines on the Dolphins, but I hope you make money off them too.
