Sign Plaxico Burress today

The Miami Dolphins have a new coaching staff, and a new QB, but they are still getting the same results once the offense enters the red zone, which is ironically no results. It’s wild, they often march down the field, but once they get inside the opponents 20 yard line, it is like they hit a wall, and instead of scoring touch downs, they are forced to settle for field goals. It is a combination of a lack of creativity in calling plays, and more importantly they are missing that big bodied receiver to target in the end zone. Obviously next years first round pick needs to be a player that can score touchdowns, but for now the quick fix would be to sign Plaxico Burress.

Before phins news fans start jumping down my throat for making such an outlandish suggestion, lets look at the facts. Last year Plaxico Burress, did not have any off filed issues, and he played in all 16 games, where he caught 45 passes for 612 yards. More importantly he scored 8 TD’s, which were all red zone TD’s. Now can phins fans honestly say that they would not take that kind of production, even if it was coming from a player that is notorious for being lazy and shooting himself in the leg. Don’t get me wrong Plaxico is not a long term answer, but a quick band aid fix, but still a band aid that is clearly needed for the time being. The sportsbook betting software strategy is that the Dolphins, do not even call Plaxico’s agent, and just finish out the season, with the talent they have, and continue to have the same struggles in the red zone. Obviously this is not the wise sports betting strategy, if the end goal is to win football games, because if that were the case, then Plaxico would have been signed and playing on the Dolphins already.
