Analysis

The Miami Dolphins lost some decent players and gained some decent players, but none of it means anything if Tua can’t ball. The third-year player needs to show he’s the man. The organization put nice receivers around him in Waddle and high-priced Hill. Gesicki a solid TE option. The defense can keep things competitive and a stable of RBs will get enough yards to win a game. But are they going to win that game? Only Tua will tell.

Prediction: 2nd in division. The Dolphins leapfrog the Patriots for the second place prize after the Bills. Tua puts the pieces together and everyone is suddenly surprised at the talent level in Miami.
