Not sure who may enter the portal after the playoffs, but not sure there’s anyone we’ll throw millions at.

With emory it’s a different looking offense. More balanced. More running. But we have the oline and rbs to do it. We’ll win but win not relying on a superstar at qb to be the focus of the offense and be the star.

Do we fans never learn? Marino brought us Dan Marino passing records. Never a Championship. Every year he played for the Dolphins the defense sucked worse and worse. Cam brought us Cam Ward records and each game our defense was worse and worse until the end. No Natty. I guess I just think that balance on a team matters. The 1972 Dolphins were the perfect team right? They didn't have the stud QB, but they had three stud RBs in Morris, Czonka and Kiick. They had superior guys on the O line like we have now. They had a stud defense who could stop the run. They had Warfield to stretch the defense. They had Mandich and I think Briscoe to be possession guys. Michigan won a Natty using this formula. Just opening this for debate but exactly how from that are we given the current roster of the team? We need the run stoppers but I think this roster could be better if we added the talent on key defensive positions and didn't try to be an offense that killed the defense on time of possessions. As usual I will wait for all the normal face palms I get from the posts.

Our defense is not going to be good enough to play complimentary football. There aren’t enough defensive players in the portal to take our defense to the top 15, 16ppg range needed to accomplish this. We are also losing a tremendous kicker, which matters when this is your strategy. It’s wish casting. This reminds me a lot of what happened to Tennessee: generational offense in 2022 followed by a good (37th) and good defense (23rd). Their record was 9-4 because their defense was not good enough to make up for their offense dropping 36 spots. Now their defense is ahead of their offense but they are a top 5 unit (immunity). We are destined for worse because the defense we brought out this year is worse than that defense they had in 22
