What happened to the Dink and Dunk Offense?

The Dolphins offense has regressed in Lazor’s second year as offensive coordinator, and that is unacceptable. With familiarity, the offense is supposed to get easier to manage and more efficient, and even though there are new players incorporated in the offense, they are better players, so the offense should be better. In three games the offense is only averaging 17 points per game, which is 27^th in the entire league. Last season, and in this preseason the offense was able to move up and down the field and at least score some points.

They are throwing the ball a lot but they are not throwing a lot of those short passes that Tannehill and the offense excelled at last season. I can’t believe I am going to say this, but they are throwing too many long and intermediate passes, and the result is less completions.

In addition, what happened to Kenny Stills and Greg Jennings? Stills has 3 catches on 8 targets and Greg Jennings has 4 catches on 11 targets. Neither player has a touchdown, and they have combined for a dismal 3 first downs. I would say we should get these players more involved in the offense, however I do not really think that will help. Jennings is a year or two from retiring, so most of the guys at the best pay per head reviews would say, “what is the point in giving him more playing time, when the Dolphins could be focusing on giving DeVante Parker more opportunities?” Parker has 4 catches on 8 targets, with no touchdowns and 2 first downs, however, he has been used sparingly. In regards to Stills, this coaching staff, and Tannehill do not know how to get speedy receivers involved in the offense, and this was the same thing that happened with Mike Wallace, so I highly doubt this light bulb will click on, any time soon.

The Dolphins have been throwing the ball over 70% of the time, which is the opposite of a balanced offense. Sadly with this coaching staff, that ratio is probably not going to change too much. If that is the case, and I can’t believe I am even saying this, but it is becoming exhaustively clear that they are not going to give the run game a chance, then at least lets focus on throwing passes that have a high percentage of being completed. Throw more quick slants, dump passes, running back and wide receiver screens, and then let the playmakers make plays after the catch. Also take advantage of Tannehill’s athleticism and let him run more option plays, so he can use his legs to make plays.

Lastly the Dolphins need to shake up the offensive line. Jamil Douglas has been getting toasted, and it is time to at least give Billy Turner or Sam Brenner a shot. Also Samson Satele is actually still a free agent, and he did an admirable job at center last season, so why not re-sign him, and then put him at center and move Pouncey over to Guard? Does the rest of the Miami Dolphins news fans have any suggestions to make this offense better?
