Nothing about the dolphins concerns me.
But for us this is Week 2 of the regular season, for the Dolphins primetime at home vs the Bills is their Superbowl. So that concerns me a bit regarding this game specifically, in addition to us being banged up on a short week.
I'm not worried about the offense at all. They've had the ball for like 30 seconds and got unlucky with the penalty on the TD.
This defense is going to be a major problem.
Hell of an effort by Jess. Sabalenka is just too good. When she is on her game she is very tough to beat. The difference in power is drastic.
Unfortunately at 30yo, that likely was her best shot at winning a slam.
What about moving players closer to the landing zone so the returner will get tackled sooner, on average? I just think the 35 is too much for a touchback.
I'm going to wait to see the numbers. But initial thoughts are I don't like it. I think we have some nice young prospects that could have potentially taken over next year and cost very little. Would have rather we waitied.
If that's what it ends up being then the KO needs to just be eliminated and teams start with it at the 20 or 25. Teams shouldnt be starting with it on the 30 IMO.
I agree with this, seems like more often than not, the returner would get to at least the 25 yard line, which doesn't give the kicking much incentive to put it in play.
Last year thy were missing
Starting S
Starting MLB
Starting OLB
Starting CB
#2 WR
And had Douglas and Dodson playing on one leg/shoulder.
And they lost to the Chiefs by 3 points.
You think 5-12 is a reasonable prediction?
The NFL changed the kickoff rules to increase the number of returns. 9 out of 11 kickoffs yesterday were touchbacks....
Looks like this might be a bust but obviously this is a small sample size.
How would you approach it? Kick deep every time? Mix it up?
Once we have more data it will be interesting to see what the average starting position is when the kick is returned.
