I'm going to go back and watch a few of their games this week, but from what I've seen thus far, this is correct....They do like to crowd the line, then drop back, and they do sort of leave their corners on an island....reminded me of the Ravens D in a way....
I just think that's not such a great strategy against the Chiefs. First off, they motion a lot, so the coverages get exposed early in the pre-snap. Secondly, with the speed this team has, they are going to need a cushion. Third, Chiefs have been focusing on beating press man since the 2018 AFCCG, and have gotten really good at beating it, both through alignment and through execution of the play....I don't think this Miami team is any better equipped than anyone else in stopping this team.
On offense, I didn't see much to write home about. Tua looks and plays like a rookie, and the offense is steady if not unspectacular. One thing I did notice watching Tua, that may or may not be something, is that when he's under duress, he prefers to run left (he's left handed, so that keeps his body in a proper throwing position as opposed to going right and throwing across his body, which he doesn't appear comfortable at all....may or may not be anything, and I haven't watched all of his games yet, so don't know if that is a trend.....)
Overall, I think they have a nice team, but they are a year away from serious contention, and that's IF Tua pans out....but I think it would take a monumental upset for them to win....most of their fans seem to think the same as well.
