MIAMI (AP) — t to be crowned Josh Sitton Jersey , much of the league is already looking ahead to the 2019 season, and so far the Miami Dolphins are in last place.Las Vegas oddsmakers recently made the Dolphins a 300-1 choice to win the Super Bowl in Miami a year from now, by far the league’s longest odds.And because Brian Flores’ team is headed for the Super Bowl, the Dolphins must wait another two weeks before they can seal a deal with the New England Patriots‘ defensive play-caller to become their coach.The Patriots sent the Dolphins’ wait on Flores into overtime by beating Kansas City in overtime Sunday in the AFC championship game.The Dolphins interviewed Flores on Jan. 4, targeted him as their choice for the job on Jan. 11 and are expected to meet with him this week. But no agreement can become final until after the Patriots play the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3.Also on hold are the Cincinnati Bengals, the only other team still with a vacancy among the eight NFL teams making coaching changes.The Bengals are interested in Zac Taylor, the Rams’ quarterbacks coach. It has been three weeks since Cincinnati fired Marvin Lewis after his 16th season and third consecutive losing record.Flores has begun work to assemble a staff, and front-runners include former Colts and Lions head coach Jim Caldwell as assistant head coach and Packers assistant Patrick Graham as defensive coordinator. Some Dolphins assistants are expected to be retained.But Miami will be without a head coach to help assess prospects this week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile http://www.thedolphinslockerroom.com/authentic-kalen-ballage-jersey , Alabama, and his evaluation of the roster in preparation for free agency and the draft will be delayed.Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy, a former Patriots scout, said the Dolphins’ wait for Flores will be worth it.“He’s one of my favorite people I’ve ever worked with or ever been around in my life,” Nagy said Monday. “I could go on and on. I love Brian Flores. He’s going to be a great coach. He’s got a great way about him. He connects with all different kinds of people. It’s a slam dunk hire for Miami.”The Dolphins went 7-9 last year under Adam Gase, who was fired after three seasons and then hired as coach of the New York Jets .Flores and Miami general manager Chris Grier both started their NFL careers as Patriots scouts. Flores has spent his entire 11-year coaching career with New England, and he took over defensive play-calling a year ago after the departure of defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.“Obviously he has done a great job,” safety Patrick Chung said last week. “He’s definitely a good coach and he likes to mix things up. It keeps guys off-balance.”The Patriots allowed 5 Womens Jason Sanders Jersey ,746 yards during the regular season to rank 21st, but ranked seventh in points allowed. The Dolphins ranked 29th by allowing 6,257 yards, the most in franchise history.Expectations for Miami in 2019 are low partly because owner Stephen Ross has said the franchise will abandon its win-now approach to build with the long term in mind and end a cycle of mediocrity. The Dolphins have finished with six to eight wins nine times in the past decade. The Miami Dolphins' run defense is stuck in reverse, perhaps taking the season with it.Poor tackling, botched assignments and a manhandling up front doomed the Dolphins on Sunday, when the Detroit Lions ran for 248 yards to win 32-21.It was Detroit's biggest total in 21 years, and the second bad game in a row for the Dolphins' run defense. They allowed 164 yards rushing a week earlier but still somehow managed to beat the Chicago Bears in overtime."We have a lot of work to do Durham Smythe Jersey ," defensive end Cameron Wake said. "I'm not panicking yet."Lions rookie Kerryon Johnson rushed for 158 yards on 19 carries, including a 71-yard draw play where he was untouched until tackled. LeGarrette Blount added 50 yards on 10 carries, and both repeatedly broke tackles as the Lions averaged 7.1 per rush."Johnson, LeGarrette, they're big backs," Miami defensive tackle Akeem Spence said. "With those guys, you have to tackle in committee. One guy can't bring them down. You need two, three guys. That's on the defense. We just have to be better."With the loss http://www.thedolphinslockerroom.com/authentic-robert-quinn-jersey , the Dolphins (4-3) fell out of first place in the AFC East. Linebacker Raekwon McMillan acknowledged they played on their heels."We fell back on our attack-type mentality," he said.That meant the front seven was dominated, with the line surge so tepid Miami had not one tackle for a loss.The issue extended beyond running plays. Matt Stafford had plenty of time to throw and went 18 for 22 for 217 yards and two scores, with just one sack."We couldn't stop them," Miami coach Adam Gase said. "That's just what it was. They were executing better than us, and we just didn't do enough to affect the quarterback. It didn't seem like he got out of rhythm."That was really the No. 1 thing we were talking about all week. That guy, if you give him time and he doesn't feel the pressure up front and we're not tight enough in coverage, you're going to have problems."The Lions scored on seven of nine possessions. They punted once and ran out the clock once.And they sustained drives while converting only twice on third down. The Lions gobbled up yards in such large chunks they earned 21 first downs on first- and second-down plays."I'm pretty sure there weren't too many third-and-longs out there Womens A.J. Derby Jersey ," Wake said.Miami's performance was reminiscent of a loss last November at Carolina, when the Panthers racked up 294 yards rushing. The Dolphins won only two more games the rest of the season.In this instance, solutions need to come quickly. The Dolphins play Thursday at the Houston Texans (4-3), who earned their fourth consecutive victory Sunday by winning at Jacksonville."Usually I say you've got about 24 hours to pat yourself on the back or lick your wounds," Wake said. "Now you've got about 30 minutes."Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: ://Steve_Wine
