Fans here were unfairly destroying him the first year Rex came in and essentially passing blame from Rex and putting a lot of it on Mario for the fall of that defense. Was absolutely ridiculous. Yep. Rex had a very demanding, highly specific scheme. If the DE was supposed to take the outside shoulder of the OT, he might as well forget about any counter moves he has in his repertoire. Often he used the outside rushers to try and open lanes for blitzers, not unlike using a massive DT to absorb double teams and keep the LBs clean. The pressure was supposed to come from the scheme, not a talented player winning match ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're PERFECT for risk-averse teams that just want to keep team revenues up despite a crappy on-field product. That's a pretty negative take, however brilliant! I think you're dead nuts on this.

I think if that were to happen, the Bengals throw AJ Green into the trade with Washington to try and fleece them, which they will, and get something crazy like their next 3 #1's.

Yeah I understand that. I can't recall such a sharp 180 of feelings a fanbase has had with one player - from "worth every penny" in Schwartz's scheme to...whatever the **** happened the next year. He had nineteen million reasons to man up and just play football regardless of how disastrous the Rex hire was for our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a one eye man is king in the land of the blind type situation BUT if the name of the game is to start ya take it where you can get it. Hed full well know the deal by taking that on. I think Tyrod is going to have a Fitz-like career - not in terms of playing style, but he's a high-end backup/low-end starter, and teams that are trying to stay competitive while looking for their franchise QB will sign him. He'll play for a few more teams, 2-3 years each, before bouncing to the next. And he'll make good money in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things can be true at once. Williams absolutely mailed it in that season. His performance against the Redskins was one of the lowest-effort games I have ever seen by a name player.

I think he’s one of those guys who can be a decent bridge QB for someone, but he’s not a guy you want to build around because this is probably his ceiling. He can be ok but some of his worst games were vs the Bills in Buffalo so I’ll miss him in the division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Dolphins are going to tank in 2019. Better QB draft class in 2020 (By all reports) and with a new regime in town its pretty easy to think they are going to want to do a standard 2-3 year plan.

I HIGHLY doubt any team in the NFL ever has the “plan” to tank for two years in a row. Even one year. The GM can pull all the decent players, but you still have to spend to the cap minimum. And the players and coach left over are going to be playing to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
