3 bold predictions for the Miami Dolphins in the 2022 Season

Brian Flores put together a great Miami Dolphins defense, but Brian Flores isn’t required to maintain that level:

A lot of people seem to think that since Brian Flores is no longer here then the defense is bound to take a big-time regression, that’s just not the case. To be honest the people who think the Dolphins defense is done for without Flo aren’t familiar with Josh Boyer.

Josh Boyer has been there and done that with the best of them and has super bowl rings to his name thanks to the defenses he was a part of, as well as Brady. But Brady wouldn’t have any rings either if it wasn’t for his defenses.

Can’t have one without the other.

Josh Boyer is a premier defensive coach in the NFL and y’all better put some respect on his name before he makes your silly takes look more silly come September. The last time I checked Flores wasn’t the one leaping multiple feet in the air to make interceptions, or blowing by offensive linemen to rush the passer.

Amoeba sets will still be there, X will continue to be lockdown island, Jevon Holland is emerging as one of the most elite young secondary players in the NFL, and Byron Jones is the best #2 corner in the NFL.

Wilkins, Phillips, Ogbah, and Raekwon Davis blowing stuff up in the trenches, and a linebacker core that got a huge upgrade with Channing Tindall.

Brian Flores may have put together a great defense, but he wasn’t the sole reason the defense was great. Let’s give some credit to the players, and also the defensive staff including Josh Boyer who was always calling defensive plays.
