It seems like a small move on the surface, but it reveals some deep hints about the direction the Miami Dolphins are heading. In a single roster cut and the subsequent addition, Miami has just been made more in the image of toughness that coach Campbell covets.
The Dolphins trimmed their back end with the release of S Jonathan Dowling and followed up the move by adding TE Brandon Williams . So what another tight end might be said – especilly one from the practice squad. First, DO YOU KNOW who Brandon Williams is? The story is a great one, actually a minor miracle, that was built on toughness. You can read the whole story HERE .
BUT, aside from his character and talent, his promotion reveals that there will be a move to power sets and a further expansion of the running game. We didn’t have an H-back – NOW we do. Simm had two or three snaps set back in the eye and off set, but his agility, or lack there of, limited his exposure. He works well from the line of scrimmage or a step off, like a tight end, but he is no back. Williams, while not a top flight end, he does have the “tweener” ability and for a team needing an H-back he is a perfect fit. He has three seasons worth of experience and after reading his tale he is VERY hungry to make it in this league – he will as my old coach would say, “Stick his helmet in a hornets nest”.
Miami’s move towards a tough mindset was a bit hamstrung last week because of a lack of proper personnel, but now with this move we will see some sledgehammer sets. This is critical for a number of reasons, but the one I will focus on is LG.
Dallas Thomas has received a lot of criticism, most of it in my opinion is due to the now mostly defunct staff. LG is your pass blocking guard and he is expected to see most of his pass blocking assignments with the tag “going at it alone”, while the RG you “run blocking guard” gets the help. Another job of the LG is dealing with a lot of “hand-offs” and “switches”. First, “hand-offs” aren’t the running back type where you are getting the ball, but it’s where you block one man and ride him off to another blocker and when the “switch” happens, and if it’s handled by the blocker taking the switch, you reset and pick up another defender. Not even the best football betting software on Dallas Thomas in either of those situations as he fails at both of these task far too often. He is a RG that was made to play Tackle and LG. You can stick a round peg in a square hole all you want – it won’t fit. BUT, just as the insane 74 / 26 % pass rush ratio accentuated his failing, a more balanced attack with reduce it and make it manageable.
Brandon Williams fits in a niche category that for the most part is relegated to the semi-unimportant pile. For a franchise desperate to change its entire philosophy near mid season that niche player becomes a pivotal piece. I-form and Off-Sets will now be fully in the mix this week and when used with Gray and Lamar, Gray especially, it could bring a new level of toughness to the team. Maybe Williams the “miracle man” is part of a greater “miracle” unfolding – maybe not, but it will definitely add toughness to a team seeking it. Go Fins!!!
