Pretty decent start to the season. The Dolphins look like the 5-6 win trash team that many speculated them to be but given our big transitional year this was still a more than solid way to start the season.
Newton and McDaniels gave so many different looks. Whether that's designed runs, zone scheme, our usual dink/dunk offense or play action. It will be a handful for opponents to defend this if Cam can stay healthy through the season. The way we controlled the clock was pretty scary at times.
Given when Cam signed and how much he had to catch up on this was an impressive debut. If we can get into the BYE with at least a 3-2 record I think we will be in very good shape for the division and the playoff race. I can't wait to see how all of this looks with about 2 more months of practice under the hood.
In a sense this was also the best kind of win where there are many teaching moments. Whether that's about Cam's awareness in terms of taking sacks in FG range, Harry's fumble into the endzone or the PIs called on our DBs there is a lot to take away from the game.
In terms of Harry I actually liked how he was incorporated into the offense. His fumble was absolutely idiotic and thankfully it didn't matter for the outcome of the game. BB will rip him a new one over this and hopefully he will never be seen trying to stretch it out except in absolute gotta have it moments (on 4th down or whatnot).
The defense was surprisingly stout against the run. How much of this was not respecting Fitz and how much was real we will see next week against the Seahawks. If they can hold up reasonably well in Seattle I will start to be positively shocked.
Anyway.. great start to a new season in a totally weird year.
