Adam Gase Bashed Jay Cutler and Miami Offense After Loss

Adam Gase is fast becoming known as a guy who isn’t afraid to pull punches with anybody if he feels the situation calls for it.

Just ask Dan Marino. The Miami Dolphins head coach was “displeased” we’ll say after his team was unceremoniously dumped by what many consider to be one of the worst teams in recent memory, the New York Jets. The big problem all afternoon was the offense which managed a meager six points in four quarters. No doubt the former coordinator of the highest scoring offense in NFL history took that as a personal affront.

He certainly wasn’t afraid to talk about it to the media either. It’s unclear if he was using it as a motivational tool or just venting his frustration. What is clear is Gase had plenty to say about his offenses’ problems at executing the scheme properly.

"“A lot of bad football,” Gase said, via the Miami Herald. “More mental errors than we’ve had the last two years. I’ll find the guys that want to do it right, and those are the guys that will play.I’m upset about the way our offense played. I’m just tired of watching it for two years. Just garbage. So, we’re going to figure something out.It’s just surprising, some of the stuff we don’t do right,” Gase said. “We basically skimmed it back as much as we could over the last year. Trying to make it so we can play fast and [win favorable] matchups. We’re not doing it, so we’ll figure out a way to make adjustments.”"

Too much talent for too little return is the problem

It’s easy to understand the frustration when looking at the depth chart. There’s Pro Bowl talent everywhere from Cutler (lest we forget) to Jarvis Landry and Jay Ajayi. DeVante Parker is also a former 1st round pick. There aren’t a lot of excuses for this group to be playing so poorly. Sure Cutler didn’t have training camp to prepare but he had prior history with Gase so it’s not like the scheme was foreign to him.

Time will tell on whether the loss and the public chewing out will get them motivated to play better in the weeks to come. They rank 30th in points scored and 27th in total yards. Something needs to improve or their hopes of getting back to the playoffs will fizzle out fast.
