Final night time, I requested a query and posted a ballot to gauge everybody’s confidence in the way forward for our Miami Dolphins, particularly because it applies to go coach Mike McDaniel and common supervisor Chris Grier.
Beneath is the query of the day-
Given what you have got seen to date this offseason, all through the free company interval and the draft mixed, how do you are feeling about head coach Mike McDaniel and common supervisor Chris Grier holding the reigns of this franchise going ahead? Are you comfy with each going ahead, possibly simply one among them or possibly neither? Have they got this staff getting in the precise course, or is that this one other instance of the Dolphins simply spinning their wheels, and there must be main change once more on the high?
I adopted that up with a ballot. Within the ballot, I requested the question-
Do you have got confidence in Mike McDaniel and Chris Grier working the Miami Dolphins going ahead?
One particular person voted that they had been on the fence about Grier however needed McDaniel gone. Seven others voted that they each wanted to be despatched packing. Forty-three of you had been nonetheless not solely on the McDaniel practice however needed a brand new GM. Sixty-six of you want McDaniel as the pinnacle coach going ahead however need Grier fired. The preferred possibility, with 104 votes, was that they had been each good going ahead. So, the consensus appears to be that the fan base is on board with McDainel as the pinnacle coach, however the evaluations on Grier are rather more combined.
Beneath are a few of your ideas and solutions to the query of the day-
Dolfanjoe appears a bit irked.
Actually unbelievable feedback! Earlier than the draft, we had a beginning staff at each place ! We now have a brand new left deal with that can study from the most effective! Behind one of many biggest left tackles to ever play the sport! Received a cross rusher with elite expertise so as to add to those we have already got! Operating again with unimaginable expertise and velocity! Additionally rated as the most effective cross blocker within the draft at that place! Properly that may positive harm us. Doubled down at linebacker and rusher, one other participant anticipated to go earlier. Stocky however brief receiver who very properly might are available and dominate the third wideout slot place. Sure a necessity! Security and others! Now bringing in additional undrafted to reply extra questions and depth. Nonetheless have cash come June! We will signal a discarded participant or two who discover themselves cap victims or discarded due to draft pickups. Are we a worse staff than final years? No change within the offense, almost definitely higher! Protection is a query mark, extra so due to new scheme and Coach! Gamers from final yr have to step up! Coaching and improvement now come into play. To say we’re a worse staff now’s just about ludicrous!
twinssdfan gave Grier a thumbs up. Grier appreciates your help…
I’ve been on the bandwagon on eliminating Grier however this yr he did impress.
I believed the Phins did properly.
The UDFA is one other good space hell the draft was 12 rounds.
Some good gamers on the market go get them.
Miami7 got here out of the weekend with a bucket load of ifs and a facet order of hope.
I’d say at this level, in any case’s mentioned & executed….I’m NUMB. Doesn’t ‘really feel’ like we hit a HR with any decide? Simply felt – goin’ in – that we HAD TO come outta the draft with two positive fireplace day 1 starters however we got here outta the draft within the all too acquainted Dolphins aura of…Welp? Hope every thing goes excellent – ‘IF’ Chop is that this or does that…’IF’ Paul can develop in a yr or two…’IF’…’IF’…’IF’
Definitely hope the celebrities all align once more sometime for our Dolphins, and hope this draft class exceeds expectations, however at this time – I’m simply numb, as a result of we bought no person that we are able to say definitively makes us a greater staff. NEEDED Chop…however ‘IF’ Chubb & Phillips get again, is he ok to switch both of them (uncertain)? So – we bought higher ‘depth’ however did we get higher within the beginning line-up? Mainly Paul wants time. We now have like a dozen DT ‘our bodies’ which may not equate to 1 first rate starter should you might by some means mix all of em’ into one man. We come away from the draft (and the mass sub-mediocrity of FA) with no solutions there by any means for a place that appears fairly devoid of ANY actual expertise subsequent to Seiler???
dolphinfan1323 sees failure!
My factor with Chris Grier was he wanted to get the oline proper this yr a method or one other and appears as if he has failed once more additionally why draft 2-3 yr initiatives in spherical 1 and a pair of them gamers have to be able to beginning day one not projected initiatives
Tannenbum went by his phases and got here out the opposite finish with a B.
Graded as a “B” for me — or, in different phrases, give me about 2 years to resolve.
Step 1: Anticipation combined w/ hope (just a few weeks previous to draft)
Step 2: Pleasure (because the draft begins)
Step 3: The WTF stage (as picks are made)
Step 4: Exasperation that quickly turns into me questioning why I ought to care
Step 5: Rationalization (aided by *considerate* opinions on this board)
Step 6: Renewed anticipation and hope (the annual draft circle is now full)
LongSufferingPhinsFan simply says meh!
Not one of the gamers they simply drafted regarded like affect gamers or starters. At greatest you bought rotational or particular groups gamers. Meh.
Bull Pupp will get again to us in a few years.
The outdated NFL saying you can’t rally inform a few draft decide till 2 years after.
Alley Gator is so out on Grier!
I like McDaniel, however Grier…no. Our OLine took massive hits this off season, and all we bought out of the most effective OLine draft in years was a second spherical venture. Armstead and Wynn are good, however at all times injured. Going from Conner Williams to Aaron Brewer is a step down. Going from Hunt to Robert Jones at guard is one other step down. Sure I perceive we couldn’t match Hunt’s FA provide, however we actually might have matched him talent-wise with Graham Barton at #21, and Barton has versatility to begin at a couple of spot. Chop doesn’t assist the DL with Chubb and Phillips coming in harm, he’s not a day one starter. And the Wilkin-less and Raekwon-less DT spots? We didn’t draft a starter there both. The center of each our strains are weak and chilly as yesterdays espresso. I hope I’m mistaken, however I’m not satisfied but.
Luvs2drnk2.0 thinks I wanted extra choices. I at all times want extra choices…
Ought to have been another possibility of being on the fence for each of them. I like McD, and he has proven some enchancment in areas final yr. That is the yr he has to place all of it collectively and present he has realized from his errors, and let the gamers on the sphere dictate the outcomes of the sport not his playcalls or poor judgement at instances. As for Grier, it is going to come all the way down to how the trenches look this yr. If we proceed to be weak on the IOL and may’t run the ball up the center, and if our DL get manhandled within the working recreation. I believe will probably be time for Grier to go. I can solely hope that they felt the FAs they picked up previous to the draft, would suffice permitting them to go after BPA. If it really works out that means, then Grier will seem like a genius. If not, he ought to take the complete blame for not addressing the weakest areas of the staff (IOL/DT) within the draft with our high picks.
TheRoo1 agrees with Luvs2drink2.0.
One other vote for
On the fence with each.
Call_for_the_Priest’77, like many people, is questioning the place the defensive deal with decide was.
I’m trusting the brass right here that they know what they’re doing. I just like the spots they crammed with the draft (1 – Edge // 2 – OL // 4 – RB // 5 – Edge // 6 – WR // 6 – Saftey // 7 – WR). I DO NOT like the truth that we didn’t deal with DT in any respect, however at the least we nonetheless stayed within the trenches with the primary two picks which is one thing we needed to do.
Picks 1 and a pair of seem like funding initiatives that ought to give us some depth worth to begin with earlier than excelling (hopefully) into an even bigger position. I’d significantly wish to see #2 decide OT Patrick Paul get some heavy taking part in time at one of many guard spots the place he might get some priceless on-field really feel for the deal with spots whereas studying the guard spot. If he’s ok initially of subsequent yr, he might remedy our RG emptiness with both himself or having Isaiah Wynn transfer there as Paul takes his LG spot.
#4 decide RB Jaylen Wright appears to be like threatening on a number of ranges along with his 4.38 velocity and moderately massive Achane pro-like 7.4 YPC avg. And other than damage, can a participant with the phonetic sounding identify Jaylen (or Jalen) actually go mistaken on this soccer staff?
The #5 man Mohamed Kamara appears to be like like he did extra on edge than our #1 (Chop) man did! Hopefully he can rise properly above his draft spherical potential right here!
The remaining three get some good press. I like that Grier is protecting our #1 staff unit, the WR corps contemporary. Hopefully between these new guys and the incumbents, our WR3 position participant is now (upon draftees signing) on the roster. This unit appears to be like excellent now and into the longer term.
Grier and co have hit rather more within the drafts than missed, at the least evaluating studs to duds. I belief this yr will work out a lot the identical. Distinctive? Good however IDK. Stable is my take for now.
ESPN has a surprisingly competent evaluation (IMO) for our draft class right here:

Properly, there appears to be no consensus in our ideas on the query of the day, however that’s, ultimately, what drives this web site, your diversified opinions, and the controversy it spurns. Thanks, as at all times, to everybody who took the time to reply the day’s query and vote in our ballot. We can be again tomorrow night time with one other query of the day publish.
