Discussion: Team grades are somewhat surprising for some groups. I am surprised we are not lower in Pass Rush and Coverage. The very good tackling grade is not surprising as there is noticeable improvement from last year.<\/p>\n
The next to worst pass blocking grade is expected. Miami has managed to regress in that category and is showing. Pass blocking mistakes and penalties transformed what I thought was a good offensive showing in the first half into a rout.<\/p>\n
Last Sunday Miami played against what is probably the best team in the NFL. I thought the team fought hard. With time and specially if they manage to fix the OL this team can string some wins together.<\/p>\n
Lastly, I disagree that Slovik called a bad game. He is playing with close to the worst talent in the NFL and had the team in the red zone in the first three possessions against a top defense. Yes, he played a dink and dunk offense but it is very difficult to do anything different with this OL and a QB which struggles finding open receivers beyond the primary read.<\/p>\n
