Miami is a different team than the one that beat the Patriots last season in week 17.\u00a0 They are much improved as evident by the $237M they spent on 12 Free Agents including three former Patriots.\u00a0 They signed linebackers Kyle Van Noy and Elandon Roberts, along with offensive lineman, Ted Karras.\u00a0 All three were named captains.\u00a0 They also had 11 draft picks (3- 1\u2019s, 2-2\u2019s) in what I thought was a very good draft.<\/p>\n

Last season the Dolphins were the youngest and most inexperienced team in the NFL.\u00a0 Their average age was 25.1 (The Patriots were the oldest).\u00a0\u00a0 They signed Byron Jones and Shaq Lawson to bolster the defense.<\/p>\n

They finished the 2nd<\/sup> half of the season at 5-4 and knocked the Patriots out of the #2 seed.\u00a0 Their Strength of schedule is right in the middle which should be an advantage for them this season.<\/p>\n

They have an improved Offensive Line with the addition of Erick Flowers and Karras as free agents.\u00a0 Austin Jackson was a 1st<\/sup> round pick, Kilgore (another rookie) will start and Jesse Davis will man the RT spot.<\/p>\n

They have two new veteran RBs in Jordan Howard and Matt Brieda.\u00a0 Devante Parker had his best year as a pro.\u00a0 Preston Williams was having a great rookie year as the leading receiver until he tore his ACL mid-way through the year.\u00a0 Parker was targeted 6.5 times a game before Williams injury, then 9.5 after that.\u00a0 Parker torched Stephon Gilmore for 117 yds and a TD in that final game.\u00a0 All three Phins starting WRs were questionable this week.<\/p>\n

I love the addition of rookie WR\/QB Lynn Bowden (Kentucky) in a trade with Las Vegas Raiders.\u00a0 We will see some wildcat and reverses with Bowden.\u00a0 I have read there was some on field\/off field issues with Bowden so that bears watching.\u00a0 Bowden was their top receiver as a Jr and forced to play QB early in his Sr year and led them to a bowl game.\u00a0 He was a player I thought the Pats may be interested in.<\/p>\n

Mike Gesecki is an up and coming TE in the league.\u00a0 Finally we get to the gunslinger, Ryan Fitzpatrick.\u00a0 I remember Fitzpatrick distinctly from the 2005 NFL Combine.\u00a0 He was brought in as one of the 4 extra QBs to throw to the receivers during their WR drills.\u00a0\u00a0 This one particular drill was a long pass on a post corner route.\u00a0 It was meant to show the ability of the receiver to track the ball.\u00a0 Fitzpatrick took advantage of showing his ability in front of all the scouts and teams by dropping back in his 7 step drop. \u00a0The play was going to his right, but he looked left, as if to look off the safety, then fired a perfect arching pass that the receiver caught over his shoulder.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick is the ultimate Trick or Treat player.\u00a0 Lifetime against the Pats he is 3-10 with 20 TD\u2019s and 21 INT\u2019s.\u00a0 However in that week 17 game last year he threw the ball 41 times for a 68% completion rate, a TD and zero INT\u2019s.\u00a0 He is very effective in 4 and 5 WR sets.\u00a0\u00a0 They drafted Tua Tagovailoa but are wisely letting him sit and learn.\u00a0 He is also recovering from a serious hip injury from college.<\/p>\n

The two teams will take the field Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium at 1:00pm.<\/p>\n
