Jason Logan's Miami Dolphins preview for 2024, where he views the run game and defense as important factors in helping Tua Tagovailoa shine.
The newly-enriched Tua Tagovailoa can only do so much. It will take a team effort just to get the Miami Dolphins over the hump in the AFC East, as Jason Logan explains.The AFC East is among the tightest divisions in football, and right in the middle of that logjam are the Miami Dolphins.
It will be a fight to the finish in the AFC East, and unfortunately for Miami backers, that’s when things fall apart for the Fins. In two years under McDaniel, the Dolphins are 4-8 SU from Week 13 onward. Establishing the run keeps defenses honest and takes the pressure of the Dolphins’ offensive line, which is mediocre at best. It also helps protect the defense. Chatter out of training camp calls for an uptick in handoffs and extended drives, limiting the exposure of the stop unit.All the points in the world may not pad the scoreboard enough if the Miami defense doesn’t adjust to another swap in scheme.
However, as mentioned, the wheels wobble in the back half of the season. Miami is laying points only three times in the final 10 games and faces several contending teams with marquee matchups versus Buffalo, Los Angeles , Green Bay, Houston, Cleveland and New York coming on the road — the latter two coming in cold weather venues in Weeks 17 and 18.This Monday Night Football game in La-La Land will be a litmus test for the Dolphins’ validity as contenders.
