I agree, the Dolphins have a good roster. But I don't believe they match-up well with us. And I believe that Staley game-planned them very well last year... specifically our defense v their offense. Their offense scored twice on us last year. Once on a broken play... Tyreek's fumble recovery and run... once on a deep pass (where Vato tripped and fell).

Where we have an advantage:

Our DE's v their OT's. Bosa (who didn't even play last year's game) v Austin Jackson. If Armstead doesn't play, then Mack v whoever they put out there. Tua's tendencies were to hit his speedy receivers over the middle... Staley took that away last year. Tua's arm strength leaves much to be desired to deliver the ball @the perimeter.

On offense, if Moore spreads the defense with 3 and 4 WR's... then Miami's relatively smallish LB's will have a hard time stopping Moore's running concepts. Jalen Phillips v Trey Pipkins worries me. Bradley Chubb and Christian Wilkins... also a concern. If the running game is clicking... those guys won't be able to pin their ears back and come after Herbert. Moore will let Fangio "pick his poison". I trust Kellen Moore to make game-time adjustments. That's his thing. I trust he will provide protection for Herbert and burn them with bubble screens, jet sweeps etc. if they go aggressive.

will be interesting, good analysis...i dont think it will be as easy for Staley to shut them down the same way...they have film now of that game

How nice it will be to have an OC that can make in game adjustments!

We have a different defensive starting roster, more talent than we did then at Edge, DL, LB, FS.

Is there another hold in coming? If not, this could be a tough team to run downhill on.

In 2022, Mia was very good against the run, garbage against the pass. Odds are Fangio improves the pass D but Staley knows him well. We'll practice against a Fangio pass D to get ready.

I don't like micromanaging someone starting a thread, it just seems a little early to start it, before the actual cuts. If F21 want to start it, that's fine, it just won't be 'stuck' until after the initial PS is established, (unless some else with admin rights does it, lol)

Yep . . . . . . . I highly doubt that they'll attack us in the same way as last year . . . . . . . . . . . Miami's looking a bit ragged right now with their personnel; injuries, hold ins, etc. - and we're at home - good time to catch them. We should win,. particularly if Wilkins and Armstead don't play.

We just cut Cam Brown.
I liked him. PS priority imo.
Guessing we go with 5 CBs unless someone like Mullens sticks.

All true

I think we should win but that is a good team and it wont be easy. Good opening challenge when no starters have played a snap this year.
