Introducing the Miami Dolphins optimum receiving core

The Miami Dolphins receivers from 1-3 have a chance to do amazing and dare I say elite-level things in 2022.

I wasn’t going to go ahead and list the top three receivers on the Miami Dolphins. I didn’t want to directly waste your time. I mean, I thought about it for a second because I thought it would be funny to rile a few of you up and get a bunch of responses such as “ummm, I think we know Tyreek Hill is the #1 GET A CLUE!!” and much worse. Stuff like that is funny to me.

But for real we know it’s Hill, Waddle, and Cedrick Wilson who are going to be the top three receivers on the team. Would it be a complete shock if later in the year if one of the other receivers started cutting into Cedrick Wilson’s snap count? It wouldn’t shock me at all. Things happen, guys rise up from out of nowhere and established guys don’t elevate themselves.

Personally, I don’t really care who is producing as long players are producing. If Cody Core ends up being the Dolphin’s #1 receiver by the end of the year and is producing #1 receiver-like numbers, fine by me. Obviously, something went massively wrong for that to occur but ultimately the best should play.

I like everyone else am extremely excited to see Hill, Waddle, and Wilson show what they can do in this Mike McDaniel system. Particularly Hill and Waddle are what I believe we all want to see because those guys are the cream of this crop.

It’s going to be fascinating to see all the areas that Mike McD lines Hill and Waddle up at. On the numbers, in the slot, in the backfield, in motion, on the line of scrimmage, off the line of scrimmage, hiding under the goalpost. Yes, while everyone is enjoying their Summer, Mike McDaniel has locked himself away like Howard Hughes and is developing plays and writing them down in his green notebook like he’s Coach Klein(bet you didn’t think you’d see Howard Hughes and Coach Klein from the Waterboy in the same sentence when you woke up today, good for you) at least that’s what I think he’s doing. I could be wrong.

My expectation for how the offense will look months before we actually see how it looks is running that ball early and often in an effort to create high percentage passes such as play-action passes. Rollouts mixed with read-option which Tua is elite at that lead to flood concepts, all types of screens, slants, and the illustrious deep ball that Tua can throw specifically on the platform. That’s the offense I think we will see.

Now that is a very broad, general, cliff notes version of what I think we’re going to see and it can take many forms and I’m sure it will.

The speed the Miami Dolphin’s receivers have is the hallmark of the offense. I know tons of teams look great on paper and often those paper teams don’t do anything. Miami has fallen into that category before. But Hill and Waddle, with their speed, athleticism, play-making ability, and speed(it needed to be said twice) will give defensive coordinators issues. Now obviously, the offensive line and the quarterback have to do their jobs but if they do, look out.

Then sprinkle in Cedrick Wilson roaming underneath or backside and oh man, now we’re cooking with all the gas.
