Welcome to Ask Mike – Preseason Week 4

from Manitoba

Q – Hey Mike E:  Welcome to the 50th anniversary season of Your Miami Dolphins !!!
 
I love the way the FO went about their business this  off season,  adding the NDominant One ,  DE-Tooling the WR position , and the Nuggetts of LB they found as UDFA..
 
My question is regarding WR.. Kenny Stills has been quiet, and I believe hamstrung in PS.. I have read reports of Matthews passing him in the pecking order.. do you see him being a strong contributor this season, or a small time player ??

Tanx.

I’d be surprised if Kenny Stills isn’t a big part of our offense, at least as far as being on the field a lot. I don’t think in our offense we need to rely on any one player, but Stills should be starting, and getting opportunities. I believe that he and Greg Jennings, and Jarvis Landry will be on the field a lot in 3 and 4 WR sets. It will be a while before Devante Parker hits his stride here and is ready to steal a lot of reps from anyone, and depending on how Jennings and Stills play, Parker may never seriously eat into either of their reps if they’re both playing well.

There is no rush to get Parker on the field, unless the offense, particularly Jennings and/or Stills just aren’t getting it done, and like you mentioned, I think the veteran Rishard Matthews would get more reps early if that happened. The one thing Matthews has in his back pocket, is the fact that QB Ryan Tannehill likes him. That means a lot, and will definitely keep him him on the roster as long as he remains in Tannehill’s favor.

Q – Toughest Q I can think of — Which WR on this team gets the most fantasy points this year?   
That’s the combination of most yards and TDs (standard league — six points per TD and one point for every 10 yards). 

stanger  

I’d have to say that it will be Jarvis Landry. I think he’s going to see a lot of touches as he always seems to find a way to get open, and he’s a very sure handed receiver. I also think he’s the one constant in the lineup, whereas the other guys will be in and out, specifically if/when Parker is healthy and ready to go, he may sub in occasionally for both Stills and Jennings.

If Parker wasn’t injured and had a full training camp, my answer may have been different, but I expect another big year from Landry. He and Tanny have a good chemistry, and Landry is a sure handed 3rd down target who always fights for extra yards, and will convert those 3rd downs to first down. I think there’s an outside chance that Jennings does it, maybe he has more in the tank than most people think. He’s a savvy vet who’s always been a precise route runner and has always possessed great hands, so he’d be my second choice.

Q -Hey Axe Mike,

What rookies do you see making an immediate impact, playing the most, and why, including those on Special Teams & the UDFA’s.

Thanks,
GetterDone Phins!

I’ll go in order of which players I see making the most impact. If it’s true, that Jamil Douglas will be the starting RG, that certainly puts him in a good position to make an impact. It remains to be seen as to whether he stays there, and earns his playing time, but for now, he appears to have a leg up on 2nd year man Billy Turner.

It’s funny, if you had asked me this question right after the draft, my answer would have been Jay Ajayi, or Devante Parker. Both have missed substantial practice time, and for a rookie, that’s a bad thing. Both of those players have a chance, more Likely Parker than Ajayi at the moment, because Ajayi has to get healthy and make the roster.

After the surprise hammer fell on Brandon Fields, Matt Dar is also in place to make a big impact. If he can be as good as Fields used to be for the Miami Dolphins, not the Fields of last year, he can be big for our team, and help us win the “Fields” position battle.

On defense, Jordan Phillips will be in the D-line rotation, although he’s behind 2 pretty damn good players, Ndamukong Suh, and Earl Mitchell, so his reps will have to be well earned. Zach Vigil is another guy who I think may make an impact. If Chris McCain doesn’t start balling, I think it’s possible that Kelvin Sheppard starts at MLB, with Misi sliding back into the SLB position. Vigil will be backing up at both MLB and SLB, and if he continues to show well, I think Vigil is a guy we may see on the field a lot, both on ST’s and at LB.

Some of the rookies I hope make the team are CB Tony Lippett and S Cedric Thompson. I think good ol’ Bobby McCain will be on the roster, but Ced and Tony are more on the bubble. I think Lippett could be a real impact player if he really takes to learning his craft as a CB, and may really help us next year.

Q – Who’s your break out player on offense and defense and why?

Also what’s your favorite shoe?

Thanks you!

I think Dion Sims can have a real good season. I expect him to be on the field a lot this year, but I’m not sure if he’ll really have a lot more than the 24 catches he had last season. He may make his impact in-line blocking as a TE, and helping our RB’s get some clear running lanes. Another I think may have a bigger season than some expect is Greg Jennings. He’s a solid vet, and I know most think he’s past his prime, but if needed, I think he can make a nice contribution to our team, although I’m not sure if you would consider it a “breakout” season or not, maybe breaking out of a retirement home, or something like that.

On defense, I’d love to see Jamar Taylor finally break out. Hopefully he can shrug off the injuries, and get down to playing some good CB for us, and finally show us what he’s capable of. That INT against the Falcons was played perfectly, and I hope to see more of those in the regular season.

As far as shoes goes, in my “Saturday Night Fever” days, no Brooklyn guy who went clubbing (dancing) didn’t have a nice pair of Capezios. Those days are over though, and I prefer a good pair of Sperry Topsiders, or an equivalent shoe like that.

Q – After 3 preseason games what do you think is the biggest weakness on the
Dolphins?

– Pigsgerald

I’d say, as it will be be for many NFL teams, the depth after our starters. Our 2nd and 3rd team players, and especially the guys who will not make the 53 man roster have struggled big time.

But . . .

When we go up against the better defenses, like our division rival Bills and Jets, I do fear how our O-line will fare. We’ve played 2 weak defenses so far, but when we play a team a serious front 7, and Albert isn’t either at 100%, or even in the lineup, and we have Fox or Thomas at LT, and then Thomas at LG (with Fox at LT), maybe Pouncey isn’t 100%, and then rookie Jamil Douglas at RG, and solid 2nd year man Ju’Wuan James at RT, it could get ugly . . . FAST! We haven’t seen the O-line struggle, or even falter really, but i that’s partly due to the level of defensive opponents we’ve faced. If we played STL, or ARZ, or HOU or BUF or NYJ, I think we would have seen more weaknesses on the O-line.

For now though, to answer your question more accurately, I’d say the depth in the secondary has been pretty awful.

from Wyo

Q – I don’t think CJ Mosely makes the 53 and we go young ( Seems to be the theme ).
What are your thoughts on the DT Spots?
Suh
Mitchell
Phillips
?
??

I’m not sure Wyo. I think there’s a pretty good chance Mosley sticks. I think Mosley makes it over AJ Francis and Deandre Coleman. I think it comes down to how many DT’s we carry. Suh and Mitchell are the starters, with Anthony Johnson and Jordan Phillips as 2nd team. If we carry 4, Mosley is gone, but if we carry 5, I think Mosley is in. I think Anthony Johnson has too much talent to let him go.
______________________________________________

from O Rob

Q – Mike, what are the chances Josh Freeman unseats Matt Moore?

I don’t see that happening Rob. I thought when we first signed Freeman there was a decent chance that it could happen, but watching Freeman in the Preseason games, he’s been pretty awful. Not that Matt Moore has been stellar, but you know what Matt Moore gives you as a Dolphins QB, whereas Freeman doesn’t know the offense as well, and still looks shaky back there. Freeman has completed less that 40% of his passes, though both QB’s have only 1 TD against 2 INT’s.

My best guess Rob is that we go with the known quantity, which is Moore. If Freeman made a little noise in the Preseason, and actually outplayed Moore, I would say he had a shot, but that just hasn’t happened. Freeman may have one more shot, but I think it’s going to be Moore.

  45. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    One play that really pissed me off, besides the lousy officiating, was the safety. Bethel Thompson was ready to pick it up and run, when Ajayi steps in front of him to fall on it with no defenders around. To me that’s a stupid jock play, absolutely clueless of the situation. He fell on it like he did something good, then when he realized what a boneheaded play he made he try to get up a little too late.

  46. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    Rookie Christian Jones takes a kickoff to the house, but the play is negated by a holding penalty. Jones really needed that play to count.

    These types of comments by the so called professionals don’t make any sense, it’s preseason, Jones made the play, he has nothing to do with the idiot holding. On that play alone he should be our KR/PR, I’m tired of watching anything LaJoke does.

  47. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    Whenever a new kicker gets all the reps in the last preseason game, in a close competition, he will win the job unless he really screws up, so you heard it here first, Franks has made the team, because of his kickoffs.

        It’s alright if he misses once in a while deep, as long as he’s not shaky on the short ones and continues his deep kickoffs. Nothing worse than scoring, then the idiot kicker kicks off short and they start at the 35+.

    I really hope that Sturgis gets cut. I have no confidence in him, and he hasn’t been very accurate for us (one of the least accurate in the NFL over his tenure if I’m not mistaken). Franks has a booming leg, and has been just as accurate, if not more, as Sturgis. I do admit there is a small part of me that is pulling for him because he went to college 20 minutes from me, and was an underdog to make the team, but it’s really because I’m ready to move on from Sturgis.

      That sucks. I hope they don’t IR him over that. He’ll be ready for sure after the bye week maybe sooner.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        MH thinks that they might IR him, and Gillislee will make the team. Sounded like he also had a very good game last night.

    It might be easier for Howie if we copy the last post ourselves and then add our score to the end?

      We could but he’s interested in the write up’s people do too, like Piggy did.
      I’ll explain to everyone over the weekend.

    The Freeman picks were egregious, whatever good he may have done leading up to those was completely undone. He had Stoneburner wide open in the seam and air mailed it and then he threw to no one in the flats, on a sort of lob fling thingy, it was bad. Either drive would have won us the game late.

  80. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    If they IR Ajayi then James is making the team and so is Gillislee.
    Gillislee did play pretty well last night.

    I didn’t really hate the LIVE chat, I just think you guys are jerks!

    Oh wait, I’m one of those guys . . . .

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      spoken like the jerk you are!

    • D's avatar D says:

      Live chat was kinda fun but its not a lot different to me than an auto refreshing blog. I think its neat but it is limited in the fact you cant really scroll back that far and read earlier comments. Probably works well for game time stuff though.

      Regardless, thats preference and in no way is meant to undermine the effort Herd put towards it which im sure was tremendous and its very appreciated.

    MikeE.
    I wanted to apologize for the snafu yesterday. I think I set up the gameday thing on Sunday because this week has been month end closing at work and I knew it would be hectic. I really hadn’t looked at the blog much at all, definitely didn’t look at any of the posts that were scheduled after Sunday. It never occurred to me when I saw you getting questions for Ask Mike that it was going to be the same day.

    • D's avatar D says:

      One suggestion for the mod’s, is when the games is over and the chat closes out, put up a post game blog right after so we can post. I went back in after the game and chat was dead and i couldnt go anywhere else bu back to the old blog page. I had wanted to post some post game comments and didnt have anywhere to drop them.

  91. D's avatar D says:

    I expect a bunch of cuts toward the end of the day today and the very difficult ones to go down to the wire tomorrow.

    Don’t worry about it, it’s all good. It doesn’t really matter what day it runs. Thanks though.

    . @RosenhausSports just said on the @JoeRoseShow that DT Anthony Johnson has been cut #Dolphins

    • D's avatar D says:

      They must be going to carry an extra LB then, or Francis convinced them to keep him over Johnson. I think that was a bad decision personally.

    Michael Liedtke and Donald Hawkins both released today. Phins planning on signing Liedtke to practice squad. Hawkins should be too.

  97. D's avatar D says:

    Ajayai being able to be put on the IR is a good thing i think. I honestly think some of those things happen “on purpose” so they can stash people on the IR. I dobt he is overly hurt, its kinda same way with Lynch and Gills last year. Must mean they really want to keep James because i think he was more outside looking in that Gills, or at least i feel thats way it should have been seen after last night.

    I must have been a little early for it, there was no link to it when i tried.

    I’ve noticed that sometimes it takes a bit for the link at the top of the page to show up to go to the new blog. But if you look at the recent posts on the sidebar it’s there and you can click it to get there.

  99. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Anthony Johnson cut, eh? Does that mean that Mosley is in? I’d be surprised if Francis makes it over both of those guys.
