Three Of The Last Four Games...

The supposedly awesome, mighty Fins offense has been held to 20 or less.

Thank God they hired that Vic Fangio guy to coach up the D, amirite?

Still waiting for Claypool to show me that "size/speed combo" that allegedly made trading for him a genius move...

The Dolphins are 7-3 and leading the East. They are finding ways to win even when the offense struggles. The defense is dominating right now, and that's a good thing.

You really need to let go of the Claypool thing. He's the #5 or 6 receiver - who cares? We acquired him for, literally, nothing.

And that's all he's worth!

OK...and? He's a #5/6 receiver.

So why did Grier feel the need to trade for him, then?

I'll stop if you will. Deal?

Because we needed a #5/6 receiver. And we got one that actually has some upside.

Sure is strange how this is his third team in four seasons, what with all that "upside" he has...

If you watched Claypool in 2020 and 2021 and didn't see upside, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Adding a player like that for nothing is a no brainer, even if he never rises above 5 on the depth chart.
