Chiefs Let's break down the Dolphins. - Page 5

Looking at the Miami roster is super interesting...

On offense:

Ryan Tannehill is playing... well, he's playing. He's your typical mediocre, streaky QB. He's completing 60% of his passes, his average YPA is just north of 5 yards/attempt, which is horrendous. The longest pass he's completed so far is only 24 yards. And he's no scrambler, either -- his scrambling stats look like mine, if I were a QB.

At RB, as mentioned in another thread, they're down Moreno and probably Lamar Miller, too. That means Damien Williams of OU will be starting, and he's done nothing in extremely limited action -- although he was a good looking workhorse at OU.

At receiver, Mike Wallace could provide some problems with his great speed, as we always seem to struggle against the T.Y. Hiltons of the NFL -- but it's not clear if Tannehill will even utilize him. Of course, the sneakiest talent in the NFL is Brian Hartline across from Miller. This guy puts up sneaky-good numbers all the time. Ask his fantasy owners.

The OL is not inspiring, other than Albert at LT. Rookie JuJuan James is at right tackle, and I was a big fan of his coming out of Tennessee. But their guards are not inspiring -- they gave up two sacks to DTs against the Bills this week. Mike Pouncey is one the best centers in the league, but it's anybody's guess as to when he'll be able to play. He hasn't played yet, this season.

The strength of this Dolphins team is in the front three on D. Jared Odrick is very solid. Randy Starks is a really good NT, but he's injured, and may not play -- and if he doesn't, rookie Anthony Johnson of LSU will step in, and we should run allllll over that soft bitch. This squad is tough to run on, but they're not going to pressure the passer.

Off the edge, Cameron Wake will provide another solid challenge to Fisher, but that's about it. Oliver Vernon is their only other full time passrusher with a sack. Phillip Wheeler and Koa Misi are two solid talents at ILB as far as I know, but I'm not terribly familiar with them.

Brent Grimes is their #1 CB, and I've always thought the world of him. Cortland Finnegan is on his last wheels at this point in his career, but he should be fine against our lousy WR corps.

Louis Delmas is their FS, with Jimmy Wilson, who I know nothing about.

I think this is a roster we can beat. Thoughts?

Yep. It could cost KC the game.

Yup.

The week after that I will never forget because it's the only Chiefs game I haven't seen in the last 14 years. I slept through it.

I wish we could embed gfycat here, they are way better than gifs.

Between Andy's wacky play calling, a swiss cheese O line and a midget kicker- I will be very surprised if we win 2 games this year.

That should set us up to draft Fisher's well over due replacement.

For the record, the Dolphins will be a very tough team for us to beat. Why?

They are currently ranked #1 in the league, via PFF, in 2 categories.

1. Run Defense
2. Pass rush

Quote:

Miami is Pro Football Focus' far-and-away top-ranked defense through two weeks. The Dolphins are No. 1 against the run in PFF's metrics, and have the league's top-ranked pass rush. Kansas City has one of the tougher schedules.

Last time I checked, our OL has been near or at dead last in the league in both pass protection and run blocking. Might turn out to be a very ugly day for the offense if Reid doesn't call a near perfect game.

I don't think that we can really judge them based off of last season; they were pretty good on defense last year too though.
