The Book Chapter Begins

Hill and Semian are in Covid protocols so Book will start. I guess we finally get to see what the raw mid round pick can do with worse receivers than Brady had last week. You never know?

More importantly we need one if not BOTH tackles back on Monday night.

I’m curious to see what Ian can do but I don’t think its ideal for him running for his life behind back ups.

Miami’s defense is solid.

Living in the heart of Dolphins country I am preparing myself to receive the worst ribbing. I was okay before with Taysom, yes I wanted to see Book but not like this. So not the best news, but bring it on.

If you watched the Notre Dame games, he often didn't have a lot to work with at WR and had to lean on his RB's and TE's a lot and scramble to keep plays alive. This is what I have been saying, the adversity we have now is similar to some of the adversity he faced in college. He will just have to adjust to the speed of the pro game, and I think he'll do well because he didn't show that panic tendency I saw in Fields and Zack Wilson, even in college.

And on the seventh day, God created an opportunity for Ian Book!

He doesn't need to be a world beater, just play smart, safe football.

Coaches need to do overtime in the film room to show where the Blitz will be coming from and who his immediate outlet receiver is, because the dolphins will be coming after him.

Tua actually has shown promise, but has been hot and cold.

I think Book will do a nice job managing the game and making the high percentage plays that are there. Just do the west coast stuff and run quite a bit and help him transition. He could be the perfect QB to complement our blockbuster defense.
