Just answer this. how confident are you in this defense with injuries to force miami 3 and out or 6 and out? How confident are you in our 100% depleted secondary in forcing Miami to punt?

 

Pretty confident with the pass rush they have and muddying up the pocket for Tua.

The only savings grace of all this is if there's one area where McD and Frazier have excelled on coaching up its in the secondary. 

 

Miscommunications are the big concern here. Luckily the backup safeties have been in this system several years now. But man, if even one more player goes down back there... yuck.

IMO the Dolphins are so 1-dimensional when it comes to actual threats that we can balance out the chance of miscommunication by beating it into the Safeties heads that "when in doubt, get deep". It should always be their first priority. We'll happily take Gisecki catching 6 yard passes, and leave the front-7 to stop the run. Take away the deep threats and they are done.

Take away his first read, make his sustain long drives and I love our chances.

Tua is for sure a one read guy…unfortunately for the ravens their miscommunications were oftentimes leaving his first read wide open lol.  
 

he doesn’t seem great at keeping his eyes downfield when he buys some extra time in the pocket either

I don’t think they’ll have time to even get deep…baltimore had the double whammy of zero pass rush and horrendous communication in the secondary going last week.

Pretty confident. The DLine is made up of pocket wreckers.

McDermott “did not want to get into it” when asked whether Dane/Hyde could be long term

 

That means likely more than a week and possibly out til after the bye.

If Oliver and Settle are back, along with Poyer then I would say the biggest loss out of Phillips, Dane and Hyde would be Dane.

 

I feel pretty good about having Oliver and Settle back, they should be able to pick up the slack for Phillips absence, Hyde will be replaced by Jaquan who is more than capable to be the next man up.

 

I like the rookies a lot but it is Tyreek and Waddle so even though I do trust the rookies, it's a tough match up for them.

Seriously?  Our defense is still pretty good even with all these guys injured, and Tua is still just a somewhat-above-average QB.  The Patriots and Ravens had no problem controlling this offense for 7 out of 8 quarters of play.

 

We don't have to hold Miami scoreless.  We just need to hold them to under 35 or so.  I think we can do that pretty easily.

Agree...Our front four of.  Von, Jones, Groot with  Oliver and/or Settle is still formidable.

Our LBs are intact 

Our Two Rookie corners have played well and our two backup safeties have shown good ability in pre-season.

And what are Dane and Micah's injuries? Sounds like they are being perhaps overly cautious. A "stinger" is not an injury that would have kept anyone out for more than a few plays let alone the whole game

 

I would imagine a deeper strain or bruise than a normal stinger would produce. Dane, obviously not surprising. Likely dealing with at least a strain if not sprain. I doubt there are any fractures or anything or else we'd be seeing different behaviors. I guess Hyde's could be tho, worst case.

Milano had the stinger.  He's been practicing.  Neck injuries to Hyde and Jackson.

3 neck injuries in 1 game is pretty crazy. I've never heard of that. Probably need to do some more neck conditioning in the weight room. They have that iron neck attachment for pulley machines and it looks ridiculous but it's supposed to decrease concussion and neck injuries drastically

It was a tough physical game.  No doubt.

Not sure but he was dancing at practice 

 

I swear watching some of those players dance, like Dion was doing in pregame Monday night in the McKenzie mic'd up video and I think it's only a matter of time beore one of the players ends up out for the game due to some crazy move that goes wrong...

 

McD needs to regulate the variety of dance moves they can do pregame 🤣

Very. Their offense's Achilles heel is the OL. No secondary is going to hold Hill and Waddle from getting open, you just have to get to Tua and make him uncomfortable. Anyways our secondary is more about scheme than talent. That's why every year we have late round CBs that we're plugging in without missing a beat. If Oliver and Settle are in the game I'm not worried.

 

I am however very concerned about Hyde's long term prognosis. Fingers crossed it is not as serious as it seems. I would hate to see a guy like that who's worked so hard have to hang it up early.

Reminds me of TB kicker Gramattica injuring himself doing a stupid celebration.

If Tua can't step up in the pocket or plant his feet to make throws, he doesn't have the arm strength to get the ball there and it will float leading to the D making plays on the ball or picking it off.  Or the throws will be inaccurate or he will have to throw it early and the timing will be off...

 

The DLine can almost make the secondary injuries moot if they get enough pressure. At least in the context of the Fins being able to score enough to keep up.

Or the one WR at Georgia that tore his ACL doing the jump and bump his teammate after he caught a TD pass.

It's pretty amazing that Dane is even out on a field right now after that hit. At the time it happened, it was hard not to assume the worst. 

 

But that he's at a practice in any capacity right now combined with the fact they've yet to make any roster moves means he could actually be playing again -- and sooner than later. Just awesome.

Don't think any amount of stretching could have helped Dane's injury
