Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase is apparently not once to mince words. The relatively young coach, while skirting accountability, says the Dolphins are an abomination to the senses on the offensive side of the football.
Well, okay. Maybe he didn't use those exact words, but he came close to it.
“We're the worst offense in football. It's hard to go lower than that,” Gase said at his Friday news conference, and the numbers back him up. The Dolphins (4-3) rank last in the NFL with 252.4 yards per game.
“I'm pissed. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of the offense being awful,” Gase said. “Guys better need to get their heads right. Coaching staff needs to do a better job, because obviously our players not knowing [what to do] is a direct reflection of them.”
The worst offense in football is a pretty harsh way to go about it. Adam Gase does have some theories as to why the offense is so bad, and it mostly comes down to work ethic.
“We're not putting the work in,” he said. “That's what it comes down to. If you can't remember it, you shouldn't be in the NFL. At the end of the day, guys have got to actually take this stuff home and study it. They're not going to just learn it all in meetings. We've got to find guys that'll actually put forth effort to actually remember this stuff, and it starts with our best players.”
Ah, a coach's favorite move of placing blame on the players for failing to understand, study, and make “his offense” part of their every single day lives.
