Four of the five NFL teams that ended each possession with a kick this past weekend advanced to the conference championships next Sunday. They didn't leave balls lying on the ground or flying through random air space.
That's a lesson in a weekend of lessons for a Dolphins organization that will try, try again to get it right this offseason. They need two starting guards, for instance.
Anthony Weaver's Miami Dolphins defense ranked 10th in points allowed, always the most important category. But the Dolphins defense ranked 26th in takeaways this season, the number that changes games.
None of these final four teams invested more than a second-round pick or a modest contract in their starting guards. So, rule out the Dolphins taking a first-round guard, if you value proper asset allocation.
