Outlook: WR, Miami finally has a big time receiver
[picappgallerysingle id="7776126"]Don’t get me wrong, the Dolphins had a very good core of receivers last season, but no number one.
Finally. Finally, Miami brings in a big time receiver ala Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, or even O.J. McDuffie. Anybody a defense has to game plan against. It’s taken about a decade, but the Dolphins now have a passing game to be respected once again.
Acquiring Brandon Marshall in the offseason doesn’t guarantee Chad Henne a 4,000 yard passing season, Miami’s still a run-first team, but it does push the defense back to help the run game and gives the ‘Fins a shot on third-and-long situations.
Just Remember last season being surprised that “the old No.19″ actually caught a pass. Well those days are all but over.
Marshall’s coming into camp will also allow receivers like Devon Bess and Greg Camarillo to play in a more natural No.2 and slot position. With Bess’ speed and Camarillo’s sure hands, teams will regret double teaming Marshal- fantasy teaser.
It should be an interesting battle in training camp for the No.2 receiver spot. Also in the mix will be Brian Hartline, who came on strong in his rookie season last year.
Hartline, Bess and Camarillo should all see ample playing time between the No.2 and slot positions, and the group could also allow Miami to go 4-wide in certain desperate situations.
Behind them and looking to make the team will be Patrick Turner, Taurus Johnson, Julius Pruitt and Marlon Moore. Look for Turner to get every chance to make the team, but if he can’t one of the three first year players could slid by and onto the depth chart.
No matter who does finally make the group, one thing is certain, Miami has a passing game to game plan against. That alone should make it a fun season to watch on South Beach.
