3 things Skylar Thompson must do to not have the Dolphins get obliterated

Skylar Thompson and the tight ends, who says no?

Did you know that Mike Gesicki was the Dolphin’s leading receiver last week with 4 catches for a whopping 46 yards? Well, he was. Even Durham Smythe got into the action with 3 catches for 39 yards. Was this by design? I don’t know. Probably not but hey those guys got open and the biggest reason why is because the defense has to worry about Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle no matter where they go.

That lets Gesicki and Smythe slip past linebackers and nickel corners sometimes so it makes sense to make sure you give them a look because they may be majorly open.

Mike McDaniel has his work cut out for him. He needs to find ways to get Skylar Thompson some easy completions. Well, I’ve always been told that a young, inexperienced quarterback’s best friend is his tight end so you might as well make Mike Gesicki’s last game a real doozy.

I’d love to see some play-action bootleg stuff where Thompson can hit Smythe in the flat. I love those types of plays but that would mean the Bill’s edge defenders would have to believe the Dolphins are actually going to run it. Here’s some foreshadowing for later in the week; run the ball a ton.
