Miami usually doesn't lose big at home so I'm predicting a close win or loss. 30-27 with one team kicking the game-winning FG.

If it's not broke don't fix it...? I feel your pain; Miami was averaging 4 ypc against NE then stopped running the ball for whatever reason smh.

Looking forward to the upcoming game against you guys. Miami gets Will Fuller, Preston Williams, Austin Jackson, and maybe Adam Shaheen back next week so the offense should get a boost. I pray they resign McKinney because the run D is still an issue. NE and Miami always play an ugly, and boring, game so hopefully Miami shows a bit more in this matchup.

Does the bad outweigh the good? Because I think that's all that matters to the players. You as an opposing fan can not like how a HC handles situations but it won't matter if the team is succeeding. A beat writer mentioned that Flores has one flaw and later hinted at it dealing with veterans. If I had to guess, it's probably the next man up mentality that he has. Tua has gotten tons of praise from his teammates for his leadership this offseaon. The rest is opinionated honestly.

It doesn't change things at all. Miami trading for Deshaun hasn't happened, and most likely won't, because of what's going on with him right now. My prediction was based on if Watson were innocent. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

I may be mistaken but did Deshaun have character issues prior to the allegations? My apologies if you're not referring to Watson.

I think if the price was right they'd make the trade. Grier, and especially Flores, do not care about perception and rules that most teams abide by. The only reason that I think it didn't happen already is again the allegations, the price is too high, and the fact that Flores has taken a liking to Tua.

How can one tell this is becoming a distraction in the locker room? Yall just be saying anything.

I think you care about Flores' stance more than Tua lol. Again, he didn't have faith almost a year ago. Thoughts change, players improve.

Unfortunately for you, that was last season. We as fans do no lament on something that happened almost a year ago and continue to hope for the worst like you do.

Not at all. Tua is not the most vocal guy. It's already been confirmed by multiple players that he's taken steps to be more of a leader this offseason. A letter on his jersey isn't going to affect how well Miami plays. People seem to have an issue with Tua so this was going to be blown up either way. Jerome Baker and Christian Wilikins are probably the most vocal and likeable players on the team and they're not captains. That's weird.

One OC is the passing game coordinator and calls the plays while the other is just the run game coordinator. They weren't the only team with a young QB that tried to trade for Watson. They took the wrong Miami DE because he was injured and didn't play much in the preseason? OK. When did coaches say Howard wasn't athletic enough to cover Diggs? He covered Hopkins and Tyreek so that's a lie. It also doesn't matter if Miami caved to pay him or not. They don't have a say-so in what leaks or not. Prior to that leak, everyone was behind Tua down here so I'm not sure why the narrative changes because someone suddenly spilled info. Players decide if they want to run for captain or not and the rest of the team votes. Tua didn't put his name in to be a captain. You would've had a point if you focused on Miami's best players not being captains. Miami's captains vary; all of the captains from last year's squad are not even on the team for example. Flores is the leader of men and everyone loves him. He has no control over leaks, contracts, perception of team, etc. His job is to coach players, not appease opposing fans.

How did he mismange the QB room? Will it matter if Tua is good this year?

That's if those things haven't improved. Miami hasn't opened the offense up since Fuller, Parker, and Wilson are out.

What were his issues from last year?
