Dolphins Entire Starting Secondary From Last Year Is Gone
What’s it been? 24 hours? 48 tops? Since my last blog about a Dolphins corner being out for the season? And here we are, another one bites the dust. But this one stings more than the rest.
Look, I wasn’t expecting Artie Burns to do much this year. He was a depth piece, a warm body. But Kader Kohou? That one hurts. That one’s personal. Kader has actually been one of the few bright spots for this team in recent years. A young, promising player who came out of nowhere and looked like a long term baller. Which is probably why I’m still in shock he was even on the team to begin with because normally, when we find a young stud, we either trade him, let him walk, or ruin him beyond recognition. But not Kader. Not yet.
He was supposed to be the guy in the secondary this year. With Ramsey traded, our so called “splash” free agent signing last year Kendall Fuller being straight up released, and the rest of our DB room looking like a group better suited to stock shelves at Publix than defend NFL receivers… Kohou was going to be the anchor. And now? He’s out for the season before August even starts.
I’m numb to it now. Like I said in the last blog, this team is cursed. Voodoo level cursed. They should have never built that stadium on an Indian burial ground. And I’m not backing down from that theory until real, sweeping changes are made. I’m talking Stephen Ross selling the team, Chris Grier being shown the door, and maybe just maybe bulldozing the entire stadium and rebuilding it somewhere that isn’t cursed by centuries old spirits we pissed off decades ago.
And what really drives me nuts is how tone deaf this team is. While half the roster is already in crutches and slings, the team is out here doing backflips and stunts at practice like it’s the damn circus. Can we focus on just surviving camp without losing another key starter? Just one week without someone going for the whole year, is that too much to ask for?
This team has become a clown show. Every year I try to buy in, and every year they give me more reasons not to. At this point, I’m praying we win three games. Just give me the number one pick in the draft and fire everyone.
