now before anyone starts sharting themselves with despair

the dolphins were tanking this season. Dolphins fans have spoke highly of the turnaround Flores has introduced as far as culture goes.

though after Gase, that's not super hard to do.

Matt Lombardi enters his first season with the Miami Dolphins after being named quality control on Feb. 8, 2019. Lombardi spent the past two seasons (2017-18) at Baylor, where he served as an offensive quality control coach. In 2018, the Bears improved by six wins and won the Texas Bowl. Baylor’s offense improved by nearly one full yard per rush attempt (3.40 to 4.38) and nearly 100 points (292 to 384) and first downs (239 to 331) from the previous season.

Wide receiver Jalen Hurd was named the Big 12’s Offensive Newcomer of the Year. From 2014-16, Lombardi was at Louisville, where he was a special teams quality control coach (2014) and graduate assistant working with the tight ends (2015-16). Louisville played in a bowl game in all three seasons of Lombardi’s tenure, and finished the 2014 and 2016 seasons ranked in the top 25. He mentored tight end Cole Hikutini, who led the team with 50 receptions for 668 yards (13.4 avg.) and eight touchdowns in 2016. Hikutini’s efforts earned him second-team All-ACC honors. Lombardi’s first NFL job came in 2013, when he spent the season as a scouting intern for the Cleveland Browns. Lombardi earned his bachelor’s degree from Delaware in 2013. He is married to his wife, Julie.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
