The Green Zone: Riders' Jeremy O'Day preparing for 2025

O'Day discusses Trevor Harris and changes to be made to get the Riders back to the Grey Cup.
As I was watching the Miami Dolphins self-destruct during the Monday night NFL game against Pittsburgh, I had to ask why the schedule makers would put the Dolphins on in prime time. (The Dolphins let a 14-0 lead get away in a 27-14 loss to the Steelers.) It may be a long time before a Dolphins game generates huge TV numbers.
Putting an 0 and 7 2019 season aside, the Dolphins are in re-build mode. Not that Ryan Tannehill is among the league’s elite quarterbacks, but his replacement, 36-year-old Ryan Fitzpatrick, isn’t either. Fitzpatrick doesn’t have a supporting cast around him for this team to be competitive.
This is also a team that two years ago let one of the best defensive players in the league, Ndamukong Suh, get away.
I know it can get tiresome to watch teams like the Patriots and the Packers in prime time, week in and week out.
However, to have a Dolphins team that has only been better than .500 once in the last ten years play on a national stage makes no sense.
