I thought it'd be a decent use of this dead-*** time we have before the season to look at some specific PFF rankings for our 2013 Dolphins and predict how they'll fare versus those numbers this year. Offense: QB Ryan Tannehill - 7th (just ahead of Marcia) -- C Mike Pouncey - 14th -- G John Jerry 43rd (no other G made the top 81) -- T Tyson Clabo - 45th; J Martin - 60th, McKinnie - 65th -- RB Daniel Thomas - 28th; Lamar Miller - 35th -- WR Brian Hartline - 18th; Rishard Matthews - 43rd; Mike Wallace - 65th -- Defense: DE Cam Wake - 2nd; Dion Jordan - 28th; Olivier Vernon - 33rd -- DT Randy Starks - 7th; Jared Odrick - 13th; Paul Soliai 20th -- OLB Koa Misi 14th; Philip Wheeler - 35th -- ILB Dannell Ellerbe - 50th (of 55) -- CB Brent Grimes - 2nd; Jimmy Wilson - 49th; Nolan Carroll - 52nd -- S Chris Clemons - 19th; Reshad Jones - 68th -- Special Teams: PK Caleb Sturgis - 11th -- P Brandon Fields - 13th -- Overall I see a LOT of room for improvement, even if slight, that I expect to see materialize. Where do y'all expect the most improvement on these numbers?
It's gonna be Mike Wallace. He can only move up. I can't imagine an offence as rubbish as last years appearing on the field. I'd hope he jumps 45.
I disagree. I think Wallace ends up #44; #43 is an odd number, so it makes more sense for him to end up #44 and I also think he's gotta put in more work to get to #43 or higher. I also see Pouncey dropping to perhaps to #15 or as low as #20 due to injuries. More useless than pre-season individual rankings?
Ya it's not and end-all be-all...just some food for convo...and I'm bored. I was thinking 40s for Wallace also, and we can't help but improve on the O-line...we all knew from watching how pathetic they were, but MAN those numbers really slap your face with it. Pouncey even ranked mediocre.
I'm expecting big things from Wallace this season. So many have already written him off. I believe Lazor's offense will be a major benefit to him.
That's one thing I'm very curious to see with the offense; how many ways, and new ways, do they get Mike Wallace the ball? I feel like Wallace *should* be able to get near 1,200 yards, 7-10 TDs, and average more than 13.5 ypc. The question is, will he?
I sure hope so man. Wallace has his flaws but he's an electric player. I love what Lazor did with Philly's offense and I'm hoping he can bring some of that magic here.
