On today's episode of The Daily Hunt:
We discuss the Dolphins' current injury list and what being without center Daniel Kilgore and safety Reshad Jones means for Miami's chances of winning Sunday in Buffalo. After all, the Bills are currently 4-1 and appear to be one of the best team's in the NFL. While the team from South Florida is trending in the complete opposite direction.
How will these crucial injuries affect the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, here's what Brian Flores had to say when asked about his comfort level with the offensive line with Daniel Kilgore unable to play.
“It’s good. I feel good about (Evan) Boehm. Boehm, (Michael) Deiter, those guys inside – they work well together. As far as identifying protection and identifying Mike points and where it’s coming from, I feel good about it. With that said, Buffalo does a lot. They could bring the weak safety, they could bring the star, they could bring the strong safety, they could bring the Mike, they can stunt the line. They do pretty much everything, so it’ll be hard to be 100 percent. (laughter) That’s a tough thing to do. I think we’ve shown them all the looks, got a pretty good grasp of it. There’s a couple tells, but they (Buffalo) do a good job of breaking tendencies. That’s what good defenses do. That’s what good offenses do, too, and that’s what good kicking games do. It’s really a chess match in the game within the game. Maybe they get us on one and we go back to the sideline and say, ‘hey, we thought they were going to do that, but they didn’t. All right, now, just follow our rules.’ At the end of the day, that’s what you need to do really at all positions.”
He then confirmed today (Friday) that both Daniel Kilgore and Safety Reshad Jones would be out for Sunday's matchup vs the Buffalo Bills.
Truth is, the Dolphins were going to have an uphill battle with or without the two veteran players. And now that both will miss Sunday's game in Buffalo, the Dolphins will have an even tougher task defeating the 4-1 Buffalo Bills.
