With the Miami Dolphins falling to 1-7 midway through the season, things around the team seem to be at their lowest. Seven straight losses will do that.
However, Brian Flores and his guys are doing their best to keep the attitudes positive and focus on getting better. During his Wednesday media availability, Flores said that he liked this team, and he was asked why that was the case with all of the losing going on.
“I like the people in this building,” Flores said. “I love the people in this building. We have the right types of players. We have a talented group, a young group, a developing group, guys who give great effort, prepare the right way. I enjoy coaching this group. There are a lot of the right ingredients here.”
This opinion seems to indicate that talent is not the issue with this roster. The blame, then, would have to fall on coaching and preparation. We’ve seen that be part of the problem, and it’s been evident at points, including this past week against Buffalo.
It’s nice that Flores seems to care about the group, but that won’t lead to wins. They need to actually make the necessary adjustments to win games. If the talent is there, they shouldn’t be 1-7.
