Post your PREDICTIONS about what you think WILL happen in 2019. NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN. Your prediction. NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN. Your prediction. NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN. Your prediction. NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN. Your prediction. NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN. Your prediction. My prediction is that Gase and Tannehill are still together. Burke is not DC (maybe fired or maybe re-assigned). Grier is fired. 2020 we either find massive success or there's massive change.
Nothing Changes for 2019 Nothing. Ross believes 2018 was an injury plagued situation and opts to continue to evaluate into 2019. I predecit Parker is gone in some way, and I predect we sign 2 defensive lineman and 1 Offensive lineman via freeagency. And Draft Secondary
I predict all will be back except Burke. I also think we draft at least 2 lineman, and rest secondary. I think our crappy front office doesn’t get touched and we remain crappy. I predict Parker goes to New England and has a rebirth.
I think Gase and RT17 are back. I think Burke is back. We draft a DT/DE in the first round. We draft Will Grier from WVU in the second round. We have average health and go 10-6.
Out of all the things I hate about Dolphins fans this is probably number one. "Insert name here is going to go to New England and be amazing!"
I'd like to be sarcastic in my reply here but I fear that if I do someone will read it and ignore the OP.
No changes, even Burke is kept on as DC. Gase gets 2019 to prove the Gase/Tanny experience can succeed. Too many injuries to overcome (not play-calling or coaching of players) is given as the reason to give them all ONE MORE SEASON.
Go back to the Bears and hire their current Defensive Coordinator as HC, Vic Fangio. That would be redemption.
Tough to say right now, but if Miami looks like they did today against Jacksonville and Buffalo to close out the season, I do think Gase and Co. will be out. I question Ross and his ability to surround himself with football people as much as anyone else here, but he is a business man and his business isn't performing to its potential. As such, I would assume his patience is wearing thin and he will be less likely than before to retain members of his team. I suspect he'll consider selling the team, but not before he reaches out to his Michigan buddy Jim Harbaugh about coaching the Miami Dolphins in 2019 and beyond. If that deal happens, a lot will change in Miami.
Gase and Tannehill are safe. Burke has to be gone or demoted. Miami will be in the thick of the division/playoff race.
Gase, Tannenbaum and Tannehill all stay. Burke is 50/50. The Miami Dolphins stay healthy for the first time in Gase's era and we win the division 11-5
There is no way Harbaugh leaves Michigan. No, honestly all we can hope for is say...Dave Taub, Todd Haley, and defensive coordinator....Jim Schwartz. Yet again I am also drunk babbling.
Yeah Harbs has not met expectations yet, and the fans are not thrilled at that, but he isnt going anywhere, certainly not with Meyer leaving. The other Harbaugh is coaching his way into keeping his Ravens job. For those saying we just need to be healthy ... what exactly makes us think we should bet the farm on Tannehill being healthy in 2019 after he missed big chunks of the last 3 seasons. It's just another reason to move in a new direction.
Because his knee is fine now. He played injury free despite taking horrific hits for years. The only reason he missed so much time is he tried to come back too soon for both injuries. If he gets injured again next year then you can call him injury prone. Two freak injuries dont make you injury prone
I wouldn't call him injury prone, and I will give him a high mark for toughness. At the same time though, as you note, he HAS taken a lot of punishment. I am sure that many will blame the OL, protection schemes, etc. They definitely bear responsibility, but THill just is one of those guys who struggles to avoid those hits. It's been an issue since he was first drafted, and it hasn't really gotten better. Combine the fact that he has had significant injuries in 3 years running now, that he has taken a large number of big hits and that he is a big hit prone QB, marry that to him just not being all that good unless literally everything is perfect, and you arrive at the conclusion of many - he's not what we need under center. We are, imo, far closer to being a less talented 2018 Jags team then ready to make a leap like the Bears. I am sure you will disagree, and more power to you for the optimism. I don't share it.
I hear you. I just see us starting 2019 with all the players on IR and some new defensive linemen from the draft. That coupled with the fact we're due to have a season not full of injuries and I feel confident that if healthy we will stomp through the league next year. Key is injuries. As always
I think Tannenbaum, Gase, Grier, and Tannehill are back. Burke could go either way. The fact that he hasn't been fired yet makes me think that it is entirely possible he survives. We are in a weird position in the draft and have so many needs, I don't think we are going to move up for a QB. I think we go down the Chad Henne path and take a QB in the second round. My educated guess is Will Grier. Ross's achilles heel is his loyalty. I think the similarities between Gase and Philbin will be astounding. I would not at all be surprised with an in season firing next season.
I think praying to the injury gods is not a great strategy myself though the allure is certainly there. We are bound for some positive regression, but how many of these guys will come back at peak ability and then remain healthy? I do think if we dont have a good shot at Herbert or Haskins, we should go defense early, and the DL has some good candidates. So does LB for that matter. Greedy Williams would do in a pinch as well. What DLs are catching your eye?
Barring another injury, Tannehill won't be cut or traded because of the cap hit. Gase probably gets away with this season because of the injuries. We have a new DC and several new defensive players. But I wouldn't be surprised to see us draft a QB in the first three rounds.
