Miami Dolphins Chicago Mailbag: Depth chart, Doaks, Davis, Tua, and Great Extra
From SecondGentleman (@Minicambo):
Whenever you needed to guess who are going to the fins active WRs week 1 on the depth chart
I deem the Dolphins will preserve six, which is a gargantuan number, and I’ll travel with DeVante Parker, Jaylen High-tail, Albert Wilson, Mack Hollins, Jakeem Grant and Robert Foster at this point. Be awake that Will Fuller V will start the season on the suspended list, so I’m guessing the Dolphins will accumulate to worth a transfer at wide receiver when he comes succor. I additionally suspect Preston Williams will start the season on PUP.
From Surronne82 (@MikeSan99151510):
Alain how has Tua perceived to this point?
Hiya Mike, I’d voice he’s general seemed reasonably neutral correct, and clearly greater than final coaching camp. What I’d present you, though — and here just will not be going to delight plenty of americans — is that I’m not on board with the notion that I’ve considered available that he’s lighting fixtures it up. Nonetheless he looks improved and that ought to be neutral correct sufficient for now.
From Steve Lamb (@Real_sjl19):
Attain you imagine Doaks makes the roster?
Hiya Steve, very neutral correct ask. Doaks clearly has the mighty thing about getting chosen within the 2021 NFL draft, but I’d lean neutral now in direction of no on legend of I’m not certain he’s a legit sufficient runner to make amends for what I’ve considered as in truth shaky palms as a receiver. I in truth would scandalous at the succor of each and every Patrick Laird and Jordan Scarlett within the urge to resolve on the fourth RB job.
From Jack Dixon (@jccdixon33):
Who plays RT? Is Davis neutral correct sufficient? I treasure him and desire him to form nicely!!
It certain looks treasure it’s going to be Jesse Davis. Is he neutral correct sufficient? I deem so. I’m not certain you ought to tranquil demand him to dominate opponents or payment the Real Bowl but he’s neutral correct solid whenever he’s in there. And I treasure him as nicely. Truth is, every reporter likes Jesse. He’s neutral correct a legit, pleasant dude.
From FinsUp, Limited one! Its TuaTime! (@BillM013):
Where within the hell is J.Phillips?
Jaelan Phillips has been facing a groin concern, but I’d eradicate it as a extraordinarily encouraging label that he joined his teammates at the end of apply after they had been running wind sprints.
From MonstaOfDaTriState (@scar179nyc):
I notion the joint practices used to be closed to the media?? Or is it most attention-grabbing followers?
Finest followers.
From Robcook1377 (@RobertLeeCook1):
You watched Dolphins accumulate stronger roster than in 2020
Hiya Take, I don’t deem there’s any ask they accumulate a stronger roster than in 2020. At every assert, I deem they upgraded with the gamers who arrived as in opposition to those who left (except maybe QB where Ryan Fitzpatrick is maybe greater than Jacoby Brissett at this point). Nonetheless a greater roster doesn’t essentially mean they’ll accumulate a greater file.
From A-Rod the phinphan (@TheGreatPhinsby):
Which assert worries you doubtlessly the most?
I deem it reasonably clearly has to be the offensive line.
From Ticket Schoninger (@SchoningerMark):
What may maybe maybe presumably the Dolphins and varied NFL teams form sooner or later, at the signing of an long-established contract, to eradicate doable for Xavien-treasure drama within the heart of a contract?
Hiya Ticket, you presumably can’t inquire of gamers to chorus from asking to redo their deal when teams form that on a conventional basis with gamers they suspect expendable. I don’t in truth deem that’s exquisite. Don’t put out of your mind that the Dolphins slashed Albert Wilson’s salary from over $9 million to $3 million and he took the pay decrease on legend of he had no assured money left and the team would accumulate released him had he refused. Identical facet with Benardrick McKinney neutral correct lately. He used to be living to worth over $7 million this 365 days, with two extra years left on his deal and the deal slashed his pay this 365 days to $3 million and chopped the final two years off the deal. Bet one come to carry out your intention would be to worth contracts entirely assured, but that’s not occurring anytime quickly.
From mr. mojo risin’ (@dennisgriffin7):
Is it worth taking any Fins WR’s or Gaskin in fantasy draft? Or will ball be unfold around an excessive amount of to worth them precious with the exception of bye week replacements?
Yeah, I don’t deem I’d be taking any Dolphins capability assert gamers very high in any fantasy draft. I deem Gaskin may maybe maybe presumably set up up decent yardage numbers, but how many touches will he to find come the intention line when the Dolphins doubtless will travel as an alternative with Malcolm Brown.
From Neco (@NecoOrtiz1):
Maintain the Phins messed things up at the kind out assert within the past two drafts?
Hiya Neco, the broken-down asserting about giving a draft three years ahead of making a final possibility, which come we accumulate got to abet a bit. That acknowledged, Austin Jackson wants to step up his recreation in his 2nd season and it used to be disappointing to gaze Liam Eichenberg to find switched from kind out to guard — though Dolphins coaches notify he’s being viewed at each and every positions — if most attention-grabbing since the Dolphins gave up that 2022 third-spherical earn to transfer up eight spots within the 2nd spherical this 365 days to to find him.
From David Dwork (@DavidDwork):
Assuming no decimating injuries, what form you imagine is an affordable expectation for this team? A playoff resolve on appears to be like treasure the logical subsequent step.
Hiya David, first off, preserve shut the plentiful work on your Florida Panthers coverage! Talking of which, I don’t deem the Dolphins expectations for this season may maybe maybe also additionally be as high as they are for the Panthers. I deem getting a playoff resolve on is a clever intention, but I’m not certain it’s a clever expectation. Whereas the Dolphins accumulate a greater roster than final 365 days, plenty of things broke their come in 2020 and they made their living off turnovers and that doesn’t in any appreciate times translate from one 365 days to the next.
From Matt L (@cogator06):
Maintain you considered any improvement in Tua’s arm strength this 365 days?
I do know here just will not be the answer many are attempting to listen to, but I’ve if reality be told not considered that. Tua’s arm is serviceable and he can throw a deep pass if he can living his feet wisely, but that’s by no come going to be how he makes his money within the NFL. He wants to be like a flash alongside with his decisions and neutral.
From John Fiorino (@jtwin17):
Who would be your shock decrease and shock guy who makes the 53? Who form you imagine leads this team in sacks this 365 days?
Hiya John, I’m going to imperfect my “shock” answers on how I’d accumulate projected things at the originate of coaching camp. My shock decrease at this point would be Lynn Bowden Jr. on legend of he’s been awfully aloof in camp after in truth flashing at instances as a rooki. As for shock 53 player, I’ll travel with cornerback Terrell Bonds, who used to be a form of gamers signed to futures contracts in early January. Bet the unpleasant answer as to the sack chief would be Emmanuel Ogbah since he did it final 365 days, but that is doubtless to be unimaginative. As a replacement, I’m going to head with Jaelan Phillips.
