Josh Rosen Starts & Phins Claim Taco Charlton

Josh Rosen Will Start & DE Taco Charlton is now a Phin

Two news reports of note came late Thursday: Josh Rosen will be Miami’s 21st starting quarterback since Dan Marino and DE Taco Charlton was signed to the 53 man roster.

Lesser story first:

The Dolphins waived guard/tackle Bryan Witzmann to make room for Charlton, who may see his first action against his former team this Sunday.

Miami is getting Charlton for the rock bottom price of $2.5Mill over the next 2 years. Charlton and Robert Nkemdiche now give Miami two former 1st Round picks on the defensive line to roll the dice on. If neither hit, no big deal. But if even one can get on track, Grier will have a big feather in his cap.

At the very least, the former 28th pick Overall in 2017 should offer some good bits of info giving the Phins a tiny edge against the Cowboys. As for on the field, Charlton has underachieved at a spectacular level racking up only 38 pressures in his career. I’m not even sure he’ll be active Sunday, but we’ll see.

Maybe the motivation to get back at his old team will spark something.

Now for the big news:

Love him or hate him, Josh Rosen will get his chance this week

In my post Patriots game article, my recipe for getting this offense heading in the right direction included having Josh Rosen as the starter. This isn’t to say that he’ll turn it around, but he does add a crucial element: arm strength to threaten the seam and deep.

Still, if Rosen wants to get the job and keep it, consistency and wise decision making is the key.

In his limited action, either due to the situation or his nature, Rosen continually passed up the easy underneath play to try and score big downfield. Yes, he had two perfect deep passes dropped. But far more often he locked on a receiver, didn’t go through his progressions, and took an unnecessary hit.

Smart in bold letters has been endlessly pointed to on Rosen’s resume… well, we’ll see how bold it really is on the field. Reality has funny a way of shaking out the truth from hype. Remember, the character was at the top of Minkah Fitzpatrick’s resume… and you know how that went.

Of course, Rosen could sink his boot knee-deep into the behinds of all his doubters too!

We’ll get a great indication after this week.

Don’t get overhyped, but don’t ho-hum this move either.

Rosen must understand he is just cog in the machine

Really this will come down the Tight Ends and Running Backs stepping up their game. They were the weakest link last week. The TEs must improve their consistency in run blocking, and the Running Back must pass block, especially Drake who has been a disaster.

Yes, the O-line has issues, but many of their issues were ironed out in Week 2. The main culprits for the offensive woes were on the secondary blockers failures, drops, and turnovers.

This is not to say the Offensive Line doesn’t need to improve, but blocking is a 9 man thing, down to down, and only 5 of them are O-linemen. The next article is a play-by-play breakdown that will demonstrate this clearly.

Rosen starting could make or break Flores

If you want to see a real circus then musical quarterbacks is the ticket. Should Rosen excel, then all will be rosy. IF Rosen bombs and this offense put out an effort like the first two weeks, ouch! I had Week 6 as my key week, it was just moved up to this Sunday.

Miami doesn’t need to win and Rosen doesn’t need to ball to keep the season alive. They just need to play like professionals and show competency to end this talk of the ‘Worst Show on Earth’.

In fact, you can bet with the bookie operation websites that the most impactful thing Rosen can do is simply manage the game… with a couple of key shots downfield. Of course, it will take a running game to do that.

I still believe Flores is telling the truth and not tanking, and I haven’t given up faith for Miami to get their 6 wins. But, if Miami flops this week as hard as their last two games, I might start singing a different tune. Go Phins!!!
