Last season, the Miami Dolphins went from a talented young team showing promise to a potential title contender in a highly competitive AFC.
The Dolphins put together one of the best offensive attacks in football following the acquisition of arguably one of the best wide receivers in the game in Tyreek Hill, to play alongside Jaylen Waddle.
Along with the offense proving to be among the best in the NFL, the defense was formidable and good enough to compete with the best of the best.
With Hill in the fold in Miami, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa started to come into his own under center for the Dolphins and started to get some MVP buzz before getting hurt.
However, if Tagovailoa can’t get the protection needed to play at a high level, the Dolphins could see him go down again and, as a result, fail to live up to expectations.
ESPN’s Mina Kimes argues that the offensive line is the biggest concern for Miami moving forward.
As I mentioned here – it's the *one* thing that worries me…because the rest of the roster is fantastic https://t.co/gyxwmDozTv

Although the team bolstered its defense even more during the NFL offseason by making another blockbuster trade to acquire veteran cornerback Jalen Ramsey from the Los Angeles Rams, the team may still be sorely lacking up front, which should concern head coach Mike McDaniel.
It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out for the Dolphins as the team tries to protect Tagovailoa and live up to expectations of a potential title contender in the AFC.
Miami will be a team to watch in 2023, as it could be the year this team makes a statement.
