Imagine Rivera was the secret all along, what if we hold the elite dolphins offense to less than 20 points today? What if his presence on defense allowed the team to go on a winstreak? Would you be mad he didn’t take over early? Or would it just be another funny Washington fluke?
We have a lot of talent on defence, whether we want to acknowledge that or not. They clearly weren’t playing inspired football, looked to be on autopilot. That said sometimes a wake up call is exactly what an underperforming unit needs. I’m not sure Ron will factor in a great deal but I could totally see this being a trap game where the entire world is expecting the Dolphins to win by 50 points. What does the Commanders defense have to lose? Just go out there and ball out.
