Thoughts and Analysis
After two losses, its not a good feeling in Miami right now. The offensive line is struggling mightily and only a hand few of the quarterbacks in the league right now would be able have success in the NFL with a team that is giving up almost five sacks per game. There is not a single person to blame on the sack problems. It is a team effort, or lack there of. Offensive line, running backs, and the QB are all to blame for the sacks.
If you would have told me that the Dolphins would be heading into their bye week at 3-2 I would not have believed you. Beating Matt Ryan, Andrew Luck and Brandon Weeden is a great start to the Miami Dolphins season that is masked by the huge amount of sacks Ryan Tannehill has taken.

ReplyDeleteCongrats Philip! Great Blog. Keep up the solid work!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to add a very key stat to the positive side. Caleb Sturgis is 90.9% (10 out of 11). Even though his only miss this season came at a time the Dolphins needed it, he kept them in the game with three earlier field goals (48, 37 & 25).
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add one key defensive stat. Punter Brandon Fields is averaging 50.6 yards.
