Mostly what I expected to see. The Defensive Front 7 is the strength of the entire team. Weaver is flat out better at His job than Mikey McD, again, That is just affirmation of what I knew from last season.
Weaver will be a Head Coach in 2026 somewhere, Ross will have the right of first refusal.
A pleasant surprise, the STC, Auckerman so far, has shown more competence than the HC.
This is the fourth season of no real growth by the HC.
To my eye, the team has some individual dawgs, but the overall ethos of the team is soft and that will become evident as the season advances.
If Tua misses ~4 games, 6-7 wins, if Tua plays ~17 games 8-9 wins.
If Josh Allen misses significant time, maybe they have a chance at the playoffs if not the division.
That statement summarizes the culture. Miami doesn’t have a culture of kicking ass, dominating and conquering. They are always hoping disaster befalls every other team in their way and it provides a nicely grooved track with little effort.
That sort of happened in the AFC in 2023 and they still couldn’t take advantage.
Riddick/Weaver ticket in 2026 or Riddick/Gruden if Weaver doesn’t show HC ability when He gets the Interim HC at the Bye Week after a 4 game losing streak.
Let’s get this started so We can have a brighter future.
