he end of this past regular season Jerome Baker Jersey , plenty of members on his former staff were left still under contract with the team. One by one, that staff has started to disband. It looks as though offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains will be the next to go.According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Dolphins have granted Loggains “permission to speak with other teams and won’t block him from exiting the organization.”Loggains joined Miami’s staff prior to the 2018 season as the team’s offensive coordinator, though he did not call plays under Gase, something the latter did on game day. Loggains was more involved with game planning, direction in practice, and advising Gase on Sundays. Under the purview of Loggains’ leadership, the Dolphins ranked 31st yards per game (289.9), 30th in passing yards per game (181.2), 18th in rushing yards per game (108.6), 26th in points per game (19.9), and 32nd in plays run from scrimmage (878). Some may point to the litany of injuries the team endured on the offensive side of the ball to justify some of those statistics given that starting guard Josh Sitton, starting center Daniel Kilgore, starting wide receiver Albert Wilson, and electric playmaker Jakeem Grant all ended up on injured reserve at some point this season. Starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill also missed plenty of games. However Andrew Van Ginkel Miami Dolphins Jerseys , teams across the NFL suffer injuries all over their rosters, and there’s no denying that over the course of the season, Miami’s offense was simply bad at sustaining drives. The team all too often relied on big plays to score points.With the Dolphins letting Loggains go, it’s likely that he joins Adam Gase as the New York Jets’ new offensive coordinator, according to Rapoport.Want more Miami Dolphins news from Justin Hier?

The week featured several changes to the playoff picture for both the AFC and NFC. For the Miami Dolphins, it likely also meant the end of their chances to make the postseason.Miami was demolished by the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Vikings jumped out to a 21-0 lead, then Miami clawed their way back into the game, pulling to within four at 21-17 early in the third quarter before it all fell apart for the South Florida team. Minnesota beat the Dolphins 41-17 in a game that included over 200 yards of rushing and nine sacks for the Vikings.And with each one of those sacks, the Dolphins’ playoff chances grew a little smaller. With the loss and the rest of the results from the weekend, the Dolphins fell from a 20 percent chance to make the postseason to just a five percent chance, according to FiveThirtyEight’s NFL Predictions. Nothing went right for Miami, including the results from the other games around the league, where the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts Miami Dolphins Jerseys 2019 , Baltimore Ravens, and Pittsburgh Steelers all won. The Dolphins now sit a game behind the Ravens, Colts, and Titans, who are all tied for the AFC Wildcard. It is at best an uphill battle, and it is most likely an uphill battle that cannot be won.There are still ways for Miami to make the playoffs. If they win out, beating the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills in Weeks 16 and 17, with no other results, the Dolphins would move up to an 18 percent chance to make the playoffs. If the Titans lose to the Washington Redskins in Week 16, Miami jumps to a 49 percent chance. Add in a Colts loss to the New York Giants in Week 16, and the Dolphins are up to a 67 percent chance of seeing the postseason. So, there are ways to rebound - but it takes a lot of the right teams losing at the right times to get there.This weekend’s games also shook up the rest of the league as well. The Houston Texans jumped up into the second seed position in the AFC, while the New England Patriots dropped to the third seed and failed to clinch the AFC East despite Miami’s loss. The Kansas City Chiefs, long in the driver’s seat for homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, now find themselves relying on tiebreaks just to remain atop their own division as the Los Angeles Chargers make a run toward the top of the bracket. The Pittsburgh Steelers Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey nfl draft , with a win over the Patriots, remain a half-game ahead of the Ravens in the AFC North, with that half game meaning the difference between the Steelers currently sitting in the fourth seeded position or falling to the eighth spot, two out of the playoffs.In the NFC, the Saints are still atop the conference at 11-2 with tonight’s game to be played, while the Los Angeles Rams remain in the second spot with an 11-3 record, hoping to see the Saints lose to Carolina and fall back into a tie for the top spot. The Chicago Bears completed a “worst-to-first” turnaround this year, going from fourth in the NFC North last year to clinching the division title this year. The Vikings, with their win over Miami, continue to cling to the final NFC Wildcard spot by a half-game. A loss would have moved them from sixth entering the week to eighth, and possibly to ninth if the Panthers beat the Saints.It was a crazy weekend in terms of the playoff standings, and the next two weekends will probably be just as crazy.
