Sunday Dolphins Mailbag: Tua, Cam Smith, Grier, and More

Sunday Dolphins Mailbag: Tua Tagovailoa, Cam Smith, Chris Grier, and More -  Sports Illustrated Miami Dolphins News, Analysis and More

Does the offense need to add a bruising running back? Which free agent O-lineman should be the priority to re-sign? Tackling those and other Miami Dolphins questions

From Dolphins Blogger (@DolphinsBlogger):

Do the Dolphins have a Josh Allen problem? Tua is 1-6 against him and team is 2-11? Isn’t that the biggest hole for the team?

I’m somebody who hates overemphasizing W-L record for QBs, but that said, the Dolphins absolutely have a Josh Allen problem. They simply haven’t found a way to stop him since he got into the league in 2018.

From 305 TILL I DIE (@305UntilIDie):

McDaniel has been catching flak for not making good enough offensive adjustments during games. Do you think that the limitations at the QB position limit what kind of adjustments McDaniel can do mid-game?

Mike McDaniel has done a brilliant job since arriving at maximizing what Tua does best, and there’s no reason he can’t come up with something in the second half in terms of adjustments even with the limitations, especially since I think a lot of the complaints have dealt with the running game.

From Miami mark (@MarkWardlaw97):

Which OL free agents are the top priorities in your opinion, and how realistic is it to afford them while also trying to retain key free agents elsewhere?

Hey Mark, let’s start by saying that Robert Hunt, Connor Williams, Kendall Lamm and Isaiah Wynn all will be free agents. Because of the position and ability of the player, I think Connor Williams would be at the top of the list, though his December torn ACL needs to be evaluated. Hunt then would be next in line, though don’t dismiss Lamm because he’s a very solid veteran and he won’t be as expensive.

From Brett B. (@bretzky813):

Is Cam gonna be a legit starter for us or is he Igbo 2.0?

Hey Brett, based on what I saw for most of training camp, I’m of the belief that Cam Smith is going to become a good NFL cornerback. I’m not sure I ever got that kind of vibe from Noah Igbinoghene. But Smith has to step up in Year 2.

From Casey (@casey326davis):

I would love to see Louis Riddick become our GM…. Do you think he would or should take over?? Love that guy and his takes.

Hey Casey, I’ve seen Riddick’s name mentioned as a future GM before, so there’s clearly something there, though I don’t see the Dolphins making a move in that spot unless things really go south. And I do having nothing but respect for him as an analyst as well.
