Miami Dolphins: 3 Key Areas To Fix Before The Season
The Miami Dolphins have been improving in almost every category during the Brian Flores era. Despite their success, there are a few key areas where they need to get to the next level:
Big Plays
There’s one thing the Miami Dolphins have lacked for years and it’s the swagger of big plays. Not the one or two per game type, but the kind that are game-changing plays. Too often while watching these games in the fourth quarter, they’re nail-biters. Miami needs to establish that they have enough in their tool belt that teams think they gave them the ball back with too much time. With Miami, there’s hope they could win, but there’s always doubt. They need to establish their attack mode.

Third Down Conversions
Miami improved on third downs, but it’s still a struggle to watch them punt it away in short-yardage situations. These drive killers have been their Achilles Heel for far too long. Coming from New England where the Pats were champions of moving the football in short yard situations Coach Flores needs to find ways for his team to move the chains. This leads to their next issue …
Red Zone Offense
Moving the ball downfield doesn’t matter as long as you’re always settling for a field goal. While the defense can. Control the games for the Dolphins, it won’t always hold off the playoff teams. Opponents with the better offenses in the leagues find ways to get into the end zone. Miami needs to not settle for a field goal in these situations if they want to keep up with the other contenders.?
