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.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
