I have high hopes for new Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores, who last season worked under New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick as their linebacker coach and defensive play-caller. Flores, unlike the two previous mediocre "players'" coaches Joe Philbin and Adam Gase, and like Belichick...and his Dolphins predecessor Don Shula, believes in a highly-disciplined team whose players don't make the kinds of mental mistakes on the field that have riddled this franchise for the past few seasons. Since Miami got rid over their uninspiring quarterback Ryan Tannehill they procured two more (hopefully better), Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, each coming off unsuccessful seasons with other teams. The so-called experts generally pick the Dolphins to finish last in their American Conference East Division this year, but even if they do, I want to see a team that plays up to...if not beyond...their talent level and actually shows a consistency of effort from week to week. If Flores can accomplish this, then they may have a bright future ahead of them. Miami's first preseason game is tonight at home against the Atlanta Falcons...
