This year will be an odd year for Miami. With Willis being new to the entire Offense, expect at least one early season win, until defenses adjust to his tendencies. I would expect (as most do) run heavy play calling with an otherwise dink and dunk approach. Achane will break a few long ones, otherwise the TE’s will become heavily involved as outlets until the line can show consistent enough play to allow more than one or two long shots per game.
Defensively, I’m guessing the young players to be flying to the ball. Tipped balls and strips should occur frequently, but as the youngs guys learn Haf’s zone heavy approach, there will be enough blown coverages to keep the D from shining. I expect the run D to be average to slightly above average, but the pass D to start the season very poor, and by season end, if we are lucky they become average.
Cover 3 without a stellar safety will be a challenge, and Haf loves cover 3.
