Bush and Long didn’t fit the ZBS. Long lack lateral movement and had difficulty moving to the second level at times and as a result was rated out of the top 30 OT. The ZBS requires a RB to make a quick decision, one cut and get up field, Bush danced in the backfield far too much and as a result loss yards more then necessary. Moving away from the was a very smart move.

Smith was not good in Coyle’s system and he’s a guy known for making mediocre DB’s look very good.

Truth: It doesn’t matter if it is the fault of the player or the team that drafted him, but when you have the first overall pick in a draft and that player can’t make it beyond his first contract with the team that drafted him, it’s a failure. Plain and simple. This is especially true for Miami because they were in dire straights at the QB spot and passed on Matt Ryan.

I’m no Patriots fan, but what I’ve typed above is one reason why New England wins the division every season; look at the competition. Miami spent a lot of money to fill holes this offseason, but they let another couple players who they invested high draft picks leave the team, and they lack a playmaking RB. They also overpaid for Brian Hartline, although to be fair, they resigned him before the contracts for Welker and Amendola were finalized. They added Brandon Gibson who isn’t even as good as the underrated Devone Bess.

I don’t even have to go into detail regarding the Bills or Jets. Maybe the Dolphins will prove me wrong, but I doubt it. I’m afraid that as long as Tom Brady is productive, the Pats will be in the drivers seat in the AFC East.

It’s becoming more and more clear that he should be considered a mole in the organization trying to ruin it from the inside.

We have another runningback you guys might like to try out. We gave you Ricky Williams and Reggie Bush. Sorry they didn’t work out the way you liked. But give us a 2nd rounder and you can have Chris Ivory. Its been a pleasure doing business with you guys.

Smith in particular just went to a team that will dominant over the next dozen years and win multiple titles.

Smith was a good cornerback for the most part, but he had stone hands which couldn’t create turnovers and looked absolutely lost on a few big plays last year. There are also other veteram CBs on the free agency market and a bunch of talent there in the draft.

Long is a great tackle, but it might be more cost-effective for the Dolphins to move Jonathan Martin over to his natural left tackle position and sign Winston or McKinnie for the right.

And it looks like the Dolphins were ready all along to hand the RB duties to the younger, cheaper Lamar Miller, despite Reggies success last year.

Yes, people left Miami, but there’s a solid contingency plan in place for every position… so this article might be making somethinh out of nothing

Reggie’s two years in Miami were productive. I think Lamar Miller will be good, but Reggie was proven and would have a least served as a good 2 to Lamar’s 1.
