Miami Dolphins Mailbag: Tua, Gesicki, McCourty, and Noteworthy Extra
From Chris Roney (@ChrisRoney0):
With Howard relief formally can Jason McCourty hasten relief to security with Holland and Needham, Bonds and Perry/Coleman are CBs in the relief of him and Jones? Leaving Igbinoghene out changed into no longer an oversight. When the Bears hurry after him coaches will bear 0 self perception left there.
Hello Chris, in the dear notice after Howard restructured his contract, McCourty mild lined up at cornerback, nonetheless he changed into listed as the dear-crew security alongside Eric Rowe on the dear depth chart. My bet is McCourty will gaze most of his snaps in 2021 at cornerback and it wouldn’t surprised me one bit if he ended up as the starter.
From Reza Hariri (@Therealrezpect1):
Who are the avid gamers you suspect can pick on a roster location or cement one with a ethical week of notice and sport vs. Chicago. Also has McCourty been an toughen over McCain?
Hello Reza, I if truth be told don’t think somebody can cement or pick on something else this week attributable to there mild can be too well-known left after the sport at Soldier Discipline. As for McCourty being an affect over McCain, it’s too early to tell, despite the truth that he’s got the the same extra or less management qualities and trip as McCain, who wouldn’t had been let hurry had he been a excessive-affect player.
From Michael Holland (@msg_holland):
Who’s the subsequent player to shake the Dolphins down?
Hello Michael, I’m going to beginning by taking misfortune with the term “shake down.” The NFL is industry and each aspect employ leverage, so Xavien Howard shouldn’t be blamed for exercising the leverage he had. Below you definition, the supreme avid gamers who can “shake down” a front space of job are these with leverage and these the crew can’t bear enough money to lose. I’m no longer obvious there’s somebody else on the roster who fits that description.
From CSC (@HawksSposFins):
2 part search recordsdata from: is or will Tua be a sound QB? And why does he bear so many haters?
The first search recordsdata from is dependent upon your definition of “educated.” He’s a sound NFL quarterback? He’s a sound franchise quarterback? Now not at this level. And I’m no longer obvious he has so many haters, as these who search recordsdata from his ceiling as an NFL quarterback. And for some followers, somebody who dares search recordsdata from what Tua will change into in the NFL is viewed as a “hater.”
From Herman Cueva Zuniga (@hermancueva7):
Cherish your work lots! For you, which of the assistant coaches has accomplished the perfect job with his avid gamers? Why?
Herman, first off, thanks well-known. In actuality admire that. As for the 2nd search recordsdata from, the supreme thing I will hurry by is what we’ve viewed the past couple of seasons and which units could also neutral need performed beyond their abilities level attributable to that’s how I measure the quality of an assistant coach. For me, I ponder I’d reward DB coach Gerald Alexander based on the work of the secondary in 2020.
From Fernando (@nzargie):
Are there any excellent free brokers that you simply suspect the #MiamiDolphins needs to be having a sight at? Speak thru Offensive Tackles?
Hello Fernando, I if truth be told checked on that for the story I did Monday on the offensive kind out depth misfortune with the Dolphins and there neutral isn’t well-known available in the market until the Dolphins are willing immense money to Mitchell Schwartz to advance in as a beginning neutral kind out (assuming his relief points are entirely over). When it comes to a ethical, solid backup, I neutral flat-out didn’t gaze something else.

From Mercury22 (@mercury22):
Which player attain you suspect will develop/toughen the most from final season to this coming season?
Hello Mercury (loved watching when the Dolphins had been a hit Colossal Bowls!). For the Dolphins’ sake, it could possibly possibly also be awesome if the reply changed into Tua attributable to that could mean a playoff berth and presumably Colossal Bowl contention. Basically the most likely breakout candidate, despite the truth that, is Robert Hunt, who I ponder has the physical traits to change into a dominant guard in the NFL.
From Chad Kowaleski (@KowaleskiChad):
How nerve-racking is it, as a reporter, that the NFL lets groups withhold (lie about) damage recordsdata. Williams (mild on PUP) changed into regarded as minor in November 2022 and now Hunter Lengthy being carted off the self-discipline with no change appears ridiculous. The league must mild address this, no?
Hello Chad, the reply to your search recordsdata from is terribly. What makes it well-known extra nerve-racking is that some groups are very drawing halt with their damage anecdote, to the level of offering a total rundown before notice of which player is out from that notice, what the damage is, and the timetable for a return. The misfortune with Preston Williams final year indubitably changed into weird. I ponder I will mumble for every reporter after I mumble I’d esteem it if the league mandated groups being extra drawing halt with coaching camp injuries, bringing it as a minimum to the the same level as the well-liked season.
From TimboSlicer (SlicerTimbo):
Future plans for Gesicki this season?
Hello Timbo, I’m at a loss for words by your search recordsdata from attributable to you might want to presumably also neutral bear “future” and “this season” in the the same sentence. So I’ll address both. Gesicki absolutely figures to be a immense a part of the offense in 2021, despite the truth that possibly no longer fairly to the the same degree as final year after the additions of Jaylen Dawdle and Will Fuller V. As for the lengthy crawl, that one is laborious to foretell attributable to he’s scheduled to change into an unrestricted free agent subsequent offseason and the Dolphins bear fairly a great deal of depth at tight cease. So I don’t ponder his return in 2022 is a slam dunk.
From Kamen S (@imjust_kamen):
Essentially based completely on what you might want to presumably also neutral bear viewed, is that this line of defense better or this OL that sinful?
No, I don’t ponder the line of defense is THAT sinful, despite the truth that I’d mumble it need to be regarded as a misfortune at this stage of camp. As for the line of defense, it absolutely is better with the additions of Adam Butler and John Jenkins and the persisted vogue of Raekwon Davis.
From Fins in 20 (@CharlieHuth87):
Any prediction on what number of diamonds are going to be in the Miami Dolphins Colossal Bowl rings?
Ha! Love your self perception! The Dolphins made immense strides final year, nonetheless let’s gaze first in the occasion that they’ll bust to the door into the playoffs before we’re talking Colossal Bowl.
