Decent game could have been a bit more exciting though

Man the announcers sure were bored. But it was definitely exiting for those of us who had the Eagles +6.5 :). I think Tampa kept things very simple and it really paid off.

Jalen Hurts. Terrible real life qb, awesome fantasy qb.

I have to agree. He misses so many wide open passes. He has to be the most inaccurate QB in the league

Finally

First made FG for the Jags this season

James Robinson being top 5 in so many rushing categories is even more impressive when you realize we basically didn't use him for the first week and a half.

Dolphins literally have no rushing game…it’s quite something

The bad news is, our defense is rancid

The good news is, we're cruising towards another #1 pick, with a (hopefully) generational pass rusher projected to go first

The other bad news is, our corners are just as big an issue

The other good news is, I hear this is a pretty deep secondary class, so we might be able to get a good one in the 2nd.

Two straight drops from Shenault

Just brutal

At least Trevor's been looking solid the last 3 weeks.

I love Marvin Jones

Also credit to Shenault for getting that first down. Trevor throwing it to him with absolute trust despite the drops is how you build confidence for your receiver in your QB.

Looks like he’s starting to get used to the speed of the game. Clearly can see his comfort level rising.

I don't think it's a coincidence that he started playing better once we started using Robinson for more than a handful of carries a game

Also, Dan Arnold has been a lowkey pretty big piece in helping Trevor. He's nothing amazing, but he's so much better than any of our other TEs at route running and catching the ball.

Our secondary is so bad, I'm shocked whenever we get a stop on a pass play and aren't flagged for DPI.

Yup a top 5 rushing game is a rookie’s best friend. It was mind dumbingly stupid trying to do a split RB thing to start the year. I mean Robinson had 5 carries the first week of the year, 5! That was just Urban showing a dumb preference to his guys.

And ya Arnold was a great midseason move. Ya he’s not a high potential TE, just a good safety blanket for Lawrence.

And just imagine how stupid it would have been if we had used our second 1st rounder on a RB

Good thing we didn't do that.

It’s like Urban had zero idea what talent he already had on this team. I mean if there was one position he didn’t need to use an early pick on, it was RB.

It’s gotta be hard to be a Dolphins fan knowing you passed up Herbert for Tua. The gap between those two is massive.

Especially when you look at our needs and who was still on the board

Defensive talents like Oweh, Rousseau (though I'm not too upset about him cause injury concerns), or Barmore

Then we passed on Asante Samuel Jr. for Tyson Campbell who just hasn't been good (we passed on him again at 45 to draft Walker Little, but he hasn't played yet and I do think he could be pretty good). Or Azeej Ojulari or JOK

Just not a good draft at all.
