This is on Miami for not addressing the Backup QB and the O-Line is just terrible.
The O Line was built for Tua ( "quickest release in the league") They're built to block for 4 seconds tops. LOL
@crankybastid2197 the olne is just terrible. Tua has always deserved a better oline, he just masks the weakness
@@crankybastid2197 exactly had no backup line.
Imagine if the Red Rifle was throwing to those WRs, but trading for Andy Dalton before he became the Panthers starter would have made too much sense. The Dolphins owner and coach are both very arrogant people.
@@crankybastid2197You mean 2 seconds?
Not investing for a solid back up QB knowing Tuas history is some 🤡 behavior
And just coming out of preseason where you evaluated your whole roster, while this happened just two years ago to them is an absolute Clown Show, why not at least try to bring Mike White back who was the back up QB the past two years who knows the playbook, or Jimmy G knows the system or any veteran who can run any basic
Total incompetence on the Dolphins franchise. You must have a solid backup, especially when your QB is injury prone. From concussions of course
Skyler got the job over white. Tua got paid. That was the plan
Skailar seemed like a solid backup
@@wiseguy2312 he's been with the team 3,4 years they should know if he can do the job or not by now
75% of blame needs to be on GM Chris Grier for not only drafting a injury prone QB and giving him a massive contract, but continuously failing to build an offensive line around him
@WalkerSportsLounge hard to build a whole line when they have some players paid top position money (Ramsey and Hill) plus they paid LT Armstead who was one of the best in the league, but their big issue is even though they have 5th most cap space right now they are 30th and have no cap space next year once all these guys like Waddle, Tua, Chubb, and all the young guys they have signed or still need to try and sign hit. That’s why they let Wilkins walk in free agency, they don’t have the cap space to pay for good FA lineman cause the rest of the team cap is used up
Can we all pullup to Grier’s home and protest outside?
Agreed. Crazy to pay Tua that much money without a backup plan
Also for not even going after a decent veteran QB like Falco during the offseason
Amen bro..... Could have drafted Herbert.... ❤
It literally does not matter who is behind center. That O line is the worst in the NFL and has been bad / worst for years now. Grier literally told people "you're more concerned about the O line then we are". Speaks volumes when you see the other team only sending 4 and getting pressure almost every play. Even IF / when Tua returns, this will continue. Sure the offense might bump up somewhat, but the regression will continue until McDaniel learns better time management / gametime adjustments and the O line is addressed.
If McDaniel's mind is as murky as his locution, the Dolphins are in for a rough ride again.
So…why would Tua risk early onset dementia lining up behind these fools?
@Vegeta-4101 Does any NFL team have a truly stellar offensive line? I remember the hogs from the 80s Redskins teams, and in the 60s, the Packers line of Jerry Kramer, Forrest Gregg, Fuzzy Thurston and Willie Wood were practically household names. The interior line of the '72 Dolphins: Jim Langer, Bob Kuechenberg and Larry Little are in the HOF. It just seems like offensive lineman in general have dropped off.
Have you seen the Patriots O Line yet??? They have like 3 or 4 injuries on the OL already and they were already a bottom 5 unit or worse before all of that happened lol. They are like the line Tua was behind as a rookie, maybe even worse. They are legit holding workouts with tackles who have not started a game in 3-4 seasons lmao.
Here are some of the dudes who have had snaps for them this year: Caeden Wallace, Michael Jordan, DeMontrey Jacobs, Layden Robinson, Zach Thomas, Nick Leverett. None of these dudes are even starters. Andrews, Sow, and Lowe are all hurt and their LT Okorafor retired after 1 game LOL. Onwenu is the only one with 4 starts
@@173jaSon371 I get it is a little hyperbolic to say "the worst" but ok granted we're a bottom 3 O line. Is that better? lol Problem is still there regardless of being pedantic.
Hello Rich. If you watched the first few games with Tua. They were lousy then. Bill's game ring a bell?
Last 4 last year too.
Barely won against the 0-4 Jags too
Exactly, with Tua we didn’t look good either. No one looks like they are on the same page on offense
There's a chemistry issue. The individual talent is there, but there is a complete absence of synergy.
There is this strange taboo in the media about Tua. No one's supposed to suggest that Tua's simply not a good QB, but just a bland, spineless, no-clutch QB.
Joe Flacco was available
No QB could get it done being on a team for 2 weeks.
@@greyloc1826 Flacco could definitely beat the Titans even without the playbook. Titans aren't as bad as everyone thinks but they're still not good
Flacco signed with the Colts in the off-season.
@@greyloc1826 Mayfield did it after 2 days on the Rams roster.
@@greyloc1826flaccid literally came off the couch and led the browns to the playoffs.
NO QB can play behind this line. Watch a Dolphins game and look at how many times teams get almost immediate pressure just rushing 4 guys.
Sounds like they should trade for Russell Wilson. Most of his Seattle time was spent instantly running for his life after the snap. Just gives him more opportunities to be the hero.
@cocktail_dad85 there are worse lines than the dolphins, Tua manages to do fine behind the line when he’s healthy and not trying to run defenders over for yards. Big issue is Mike McDaniels play calling. He tries to be cute with every play he runs, they had a 4th and inches last night and instead of doing QB sneak with his running QB to move the sticks he went in the gun and had them do an outside zone read option.. attacking the middle of the field worked on their first drive and then after that every throw was to the sideline or line of scrimmage, even Aikman was saying to attack the middle of the Field. They’re to predictable, they either throw a screen or bubble type route or try throwing deep, take what the defense is giving you and that’s the medium 10-15 yard routes in the middle of the field. Just poor coaching and inability to adapt play calling mid game. Same against Buffalo, they played 2 high safety you have to run them out of it, Achane was getting 5-6 yards a carry and then they couldn’t help themselves but to try and throw the ball deep and that’s when mistakes and drive stoppers happened
Don't forget the D-line too. Every team has run all over the phins with ease.
@@camivey7936 They at least get some TFLs throughout the course of the game. It's not good that they're streaky like that but if this is all we can get out of the o-line, there isn't much else that even really matters
I've lived with 10+ years with horrible line play...I mean disastrous line play that got my QB's killed over that time span...that team being the NY Giants. So I've seen the utter worst. Miami is NOWHERE NEAR THAT BAD. They aren't elite for sure but man I would love to have Miami's line in NY during that 10 year time period.
The QB's that Miami has right now just suck big time. Plenty of missed throws...I mean plenty and the line gave the QB plenty of time. Miami's O line isn't to blame for Miami's situation, the blame lies with the HC and the rest of the Miami brain trust for fucking up the backup QB situation knowing Tua's injury situation. That's a major F-up.
Lets be honest the Head Coach has 0 adjustments ever just tricky shifts & speed if that doesn't work ahh well guys thats all i got, hes not a very good HC just a pretty good OC, HC exposed, Two Draft classes exposed,oline exposed,GM exposed,this team isnt built very good
On the other hand, Tampa Bay is absolutely on fire.
No a good OC either
No adjustments at all.. Just horizontal offense and trick plays..
Well said
You don't need hindsight to know you need a good back up QB. Jordan Love isn't injury prone and yet Packers fans were still calling for a better back up than Clifford. We got one and it turns out he was very needed. Dak is rarely injured yet Dallas keeps Cooper Rush because he's a good back up (they could've cut him for Lance). For teams with injury prone or older QBs a good back should be a no-brainer.
Edit: Back up QB should no longer be an after thought. Making the playoffs or not usually comes down to one or two games for most teams, and now teams are more dependent on passing than in years past and players get injured more often now. For many teams having a good back up QB can decide the entire season, the position needs to be taken more seriously.
It’s pathetic how my dolphins keep fcking up every since Marino
Ponder this for a moment. Chicago Bears have been looking for a HOF QB since Sid Luckman retired after the 1950 season.
Mike McDaniel is honestly really overrated as a coach
agreed...the guy is a yes man for Grier who is even more overrated as a GM
He's a Glasscannon.
He's blinded by his own genius and must think critically about what he can do with who is on the field
I was about to say the same thing. He's been anointed "a brilliant offensive mind" since he showed up in 2022, but he seems unable to score against the big teams. Let alone build a strong QB room. Signing to 55+ mil/y a multiple-concussion case !!!
Honestly, he appeared as though he was high on something last night and it wasn’t Life.😂
From the glassy-eyed, deer-in-headlights facial expressions and sweating from wearing hoodies in MIA weather to the rambling speech and weird, nonsensical metaphors (“We’re just gonna keep chopping wood”), if we found out tomorrow he’s been hitting a crack pipe before and/or during games, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
_That boy just ain’t right._ 🤔
People are finally seeing how important Tua is to the dolphins ..
“Any QB can look good in that offense” yeah how’s that going? 🤣🤣
Yeah they always say that 😂 how is that going without Tua
Any starting caliber QB can look good or better in that offense.
You have a brain fart Tua looked terrible the first 2 games and threw 3 int in 3 quarters against the Bills Tua sucks
Any starting caliber QB would look great in that offense, stop trying to boast Tua when they’ve thrown 3 guys they found outside of Walmart out there to try and play QB
Went from Any QB to any “starting calibre” QB.. 🤣🤣🤣 goal post keeps moving HAHAHAHAHA
I take issue with the "brilliant offensive mind" description for McDaniel. Swing passes to the flat and deep crossers. That's it. The offense was, literally, on average better with Flores.
Miami, you are on the clock.
Should have never gotten rid of Fitzmagic and Flores
Flores sucks as a HC
As a Washington fan, I would recommend the Dolphins going after Sam Howell. Was a starter last year and has a cannon arm. Also shouldn't cost them too much.
i'm a dolphins fan and we'll take fucking anybody who can throw a fucking football
Ima day one dolphins fan and south Floridian, I laughed when we first got mcdaniels and him sticking with Tua and pushing for a big pay day literally told the story of how mediocre both Tua and McDaniels is, what a waste of wr talent because of emotional decisions, god bless the coaches who makes business decisions
The illegal shift 3 plays in the red zone proves that the offense is too complex to easily plug and play different players. Huntley showed he cannot handle this offense. And his throwing motion is like he did shot put in college. Coaching or lack thereof is the problem here.
They went all-in with Tua, which is crazy. Miami deserves this situation for their lack of foresight.
I know this is unfair, but. Earl Morrall. RIP Don. You are sorely missed at this time.
Why did the dolphins not go get a veteran when Tua went down. The backup qb is really important. They did nothing. Skyler is not going to cut it.
How much cap space is available?
Because we didn’t want to hurt Tua’s feelings
Because McDaniel is adamant about ONE thing: never hurt people's feelings. Be sweet. When things go bad, give them a kiss.
@jeanfourcade It's a debatable question. Someone like Bill B. who was very stern, and then you have Mike M. who is very kind. Which coaching style works the best. I don't know. I'm a niners fan, and Mike was very well liked by everyone. Maybe be somewhere in the middle. Not Hitler and not too nice. We saw how important the backup qb position is when we lost 4 in one season. Gotta have a good backup qb. Mike said they were looking at Skyler T. and Purdy. They decided to go with Skyler. That was not a good decision.
Guys they had 2 solid games with Tua where they had no lead. That's not just an issue of not having Tua.
Does anyone remember how Don Shula won games without his starting QB? This is what you get when you build a team around a QB that can't stay healthy and you don't have a backup that can be counted on.
It’s all good in Miami they have a cool coach that hits the vape on the sideline
Bold Prediction: The Dolphins will trade Tyreek Hill!
And hill will ask for even more money
Doubt it, with Hill they are premier destination for any free market QBs. And who would take Hill? Dallas could use him but I doubt they can afford him. Minnesota could be interesting but I don’t see Jefferson and Hill’s egos from being a problem and they had enough of that with Diggs. Chargers would be a great landing spot if they can afford him but not sure their coach would want to spend that much on the offense. Packers might make a good short term spot, they have a lot of talent on rookie deals. I don’t see them trading in the division, that rules out the Jets and Bills. So I think I talked myself into the Chargers or the Packers
@Z0mb1e564 Washington was a consideration a player in the Aiyuk trade, I could see them making trade, they only really have Terry as a top WR and no burner so Hill would be a great fit, especially with how deadly Daniles is it could make their offense even more dangerous and they have the cap space to do it
@@kylem6370 Fair point, especially with how well Jayden has been playing.
Please send him back to Mahomes!! 😊 school would be out!
If McDaniel's mind is as murky as his locution, the Dolphins are in for a rough ride again.
The problem isn't the QB, it's the coach and his approach. The offense has been designed with Tua as the sole focus, and now the entire team is suffering when he's unavailable to run it. This is a significant oversight from a coaching perspective. Other teams are winning games with their backup quarterbacks, just look at last game Rudolph was a backup QB.
WE just gonna pretend that the offense wasn't also struggling WITH him?....It's hard to get Huntley going when every fucking pass is behind the line...He SHOULD have been a spark bc he can run and can throw deep...Yet, McDickhead barely did any of that...
Right?!
13 Points over the last 2 games. 34 yards at the half last night. When did they struggle this bad either Tua??? 🤔this is records breaking bad.
@@wiseguy2312 23-37 for 338 and 1 td vs Jax...JAX....and 17/25 for 165, 1td, and 3 Picks vs Bufffalo.....Jax is arguably worse than we are and Sanders had to win that game...
@@paullmight42 buffalos always kills Miami. 330 yards and a TD is not bad. I’m willing to go out in a limb and say they won’t have a QB get close to that this year
@@wiseguy2312 23/37 is not good....and 80 of that came on 1 play
Grier is probably the worst GM in sports.
Ross is the most clueless owner for keeping him.
If McDaniel was such a guru he should be able to install some vanilla qb friendly concepts and call some qb rollouts to get Huntley in the move. Packers coach did it with Malik Willis but instead they’re forcing that quick timing offense that’s tailored to Tua
Bruh there o-line is the worst in the nfl what you want screens all day... maybe there gm should of upgraded there o-line so this don't happen but hey that's just me being logical 😂
@@michealjarvis9381 they already do screens all game and that’s part of the problem. They’re calling swing passes 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 it makes no sense, especially when teams have their DBs pressed coverage waiting for it.
Everyone keeps saying McDaniel has a brilliant offensive mind better think again. He obviously is the problem here.
Finally! Finally someone who MAKES SENSE !! what is worse than the dolphins management ? By just a hair, Rich is 10000000% correct. They should not even be in this mess period!!! They should have made way better decisions. Period!! A qb on the roster ( drafted) to grow and be ready for this circus right here... Tua has been injured most his football career and he's a great player but he's not I repeat top 12 in the league. He has not beaten anyone with a winning record when they needed to win!!! Rich you nailed it. So so many reporters are lost in the fog... thank u for saying what needed to be said
They spent their $ on a track team instead of O line and defense. It's clear they don't understand how the game of football is actually played and won.
Couldn’t be a more accurate title in so many ways !
Tyreek was wide open on 3 plays that would have been TD's and Huntley either over threw him or under threw him. He also was streaking down the sidelines and Huntley threw it out of bounds. If that was Tua he would have had 3 td's and over 100 yards.
Wide open I only seen 1 the bomb other than that he was locked up by sneed
cute story...there's no basis in reality but you do you
Were you blind Tua looked terrible the 1st 2 games Miami's offense has been figured out
This is on all them Dolphin’s fans crying just give Tua his money!! Now what?
Michael McDaniel makes Forrest Gump look like JFK
100%, I love your comment. I always wondered whether anyone ever understood a word uttered by this pothead.
He's like Napoleon Dynamite on acid
Shoulda grabbed Mac Jones
The Chiefs have one of the most expensive backup QBs in the league. Maybe, just maybe, it's something rather important to consider that ANY QB can miss a month, and if that happens you can't go 0-4.
The Dolphins are struggling without Tua because of MM not having a backup plan for WHEN Tua got injured again. Hell, they were struggling with Tua. There’s so much wrong with this organization, starting with Grier.
Fire them all, trade the assets, reset.
Dire line situation! Get it right!
Four guys that haven’t played together on the offensive line😊
McDaniel did exactly what he said he was going to do. Build the offense to Tua's skillset. This is the outcome with Tua's particular skills that can't be replicated in any fashion by the backups.
@@ermac2210 remember the 3 interceptions before the concussion
Brian Flores is looking very good now with the Vikings
Brilliant? Where are you getting that from?
Anything can’t be done behind that offensive line. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE
The Dolphins are break dancers - Chris Broussard
And these days, they’re not even doing THAT particularly well
The fact is, the team was struggling WITH him. They barely won one game, and he had thrown 3 INT's in the other game he played which was a blow out loss to the Bills before he got hurt.
Two of those picks were not his fault
@@mr.morales4074 Did I mention that his only win was against an 0-4 Jaguars team? And they needed overtime to beat them? But yeah, keep making axcuses.
Titans should have kept vrable
5:50: That "somebody else" is on the other sideline in the game against Indy and may be the starting quarterback that day for the Colts,, Joe Flacco. He was a free agent in the office. The Colts, with a second year QB and one who was hurt last season, made the smart move. The Dolphins decided to "roll the dice".
I wish McDaniel would spend less time being "quirky" and buddies with the players, and more time actually game planning and building a roster. His whole schtick got tired halfway through last season. The playoff game at KC exposed him and his inability to adjust.
Don't they have a GM?
@@JustSomeGuy009 yeah Grier, he sucks too
I think Ross has to go. Telling Flores he has to babysit someone else's draft picks, trades, and signings is not advantageous. The pattern is Ross wants to build the car, you have to drive it. I think Flores was hungry to become a head coach but wasn't allowed to actually pick players and "was told to lose games for picks"? Almost the same deal different approach.
This is starting to look like groundhog day.... 8 more months of winter until training camp.....
Tua has to retire, how can the team possibly build a team around him!!!??? This will not go away, it’s sickening to look at all the ineptitude that brought us here!!! I wish I could bring a lawsuit vs the team for pain and suffering and all their own fault..so obvious this was going to happen-F Ross, F Grier..it’s so pathetic here..huge money for Armstead who barely plays or practices(huge chemistry factor) and let our 2 BEST OL walk..one signed for big $$$ but BY FAR OUR MOST IMPORTANT OL WILLIAMS WENT TO ANOTHER TEAM FOR SAME CONTRACT OBJ SIGNED FOR…I think this is a conspiracy to ruin franchise for another decade
We had a two backups but we should got another one immediately but in a way we did since Skyler was only in for one game, didn't expect our backup to get hurt his first game but we got a great backup now with Huntley.
Like last years jets
Such an execrable situation. This is why I believe in Parcells' philosophy of building from the inside out. Terron Armistead is too injury-prone to pencil him in and we should not have let Robert Hunt walk. Flash is nothing if you can't get them the ball. It's the lunch pail guys up front that get you two yards when you need it that win you the game.
We need to stop with the McDaniel is a brilliant offensive mind....
@dolfabfinatic for real, dude tries to run cute plays every drive, 4th and inches with a running QB and they line up in the gun and do a read option where the RB runs an outside zone.. he hasn’t done anything as HC and they have a good defense and some of the best weapons on offense in all of football and can’t do anything. Clearly not like Mike S in San Fran who can plug any QB in his system with those weapons and they have good success
So agreed, and his love affair with Tua
Exactly!
I’d be calling for Mac Jones. He’s played against the dolphins and he’s not bad with an offensive coach
Blaine Gabbert's still out there...
I had predicted that Miami would win only 9 games this season. It will be difficult for them to even win 5 now.
On the upside, the chatter from the fans was muted pretty early this year.
Offensive genius Mike McDaniel doesn't have the answers? Wow guy gives some funny interviews at least
If McDaniel's mind is as murky as his locution, the Dolphins are in for a clownish ride again.
Teams will soon be spending $85M on just the QB roster (60+20+5).
All things considered, Tua must be loving this
Look at the number of back up qbs have been injured for the dolphins with greir as the gm. Any qb will be injury prone behind chris greir built olines
Maybe now more Miami fans will appreciate our time with Dan Marino because we have NEVER seen anyone close to him down here, my life sucks as a fine fan smh
Game 1 this season (with Tua) it did not look like the same team as last year. ..... Remember when they were scoring 30+ and 70 against Denver.
All they had to do was get a lineman or two, but Grier refused to even try that. Hill was streaking open on 3 different plays and Huntley either outright missed or was too pressured to make a pass
I haven’t understood how Tannehill isn’t on someone’s roster since before the season started.
Huntley is a solid backup
Played well all things considered, especially later in the game.
As a Titan fan he didn’t ply terrible we have a top 10 defense
In a few months the Jaguars may want to jettison an overinflated contract for a losing QB and get a first or second round pick, give Mac a shot, and use the new pick on a cheap QB with future potential. Miami, Las Vegas, the Giants, Carolina, amd even Tennessee may want to try Trevor out. Consider how some struggling QBs have flourished elsewhere. Darnold , Mayfield, Stafford.
They will not move on from Trevor, that would make the Russell Wilson dead money hit this year for the Broncos look like chump change.
Also, Lawrence is part of the problem in Jacksonville, but is also one of the few current pieces that could also be part of a solution.
@@ХорхеГарсия-э5е That the Broncos took such a hit only shows teams can be moved to take such a hit. One would think that if they trade Trevor then it's the next team that pays off the contract and frees up (some of) that money for the Jaguars. And if Trevor ends up being Josh Rosen ... he won't be a part of the solution for Jacksonville. But I agree with you in this .... the Jaguars will likely hold on long and hard to Trevor in hopes of being proven right for giving him so much money for one solitary playoff victory two years ago. I doubt they will trade m him ... but rumors will persist. It could happen. I don't think it will ... but it could. No one would have thought a number 1 pick like Rosen could have been jettisoned. No one would have thought Wilson could be given so much guaranteed dead money just to be sent packing. But it happens. And I think Trevor might flourish with a new start elsewhere. I hope he rights his ship ... and soon. But I'll agree with you that he's likely to stay for a couple more years. Unless his slump continues unabated and without letup.
@@ХорхеГарсия-э5е I will say that if Trevor Lawrence loses 36 games over two seasons then the Jacksonville Jaguars, being in a small market that struggles to support an NFL team, can't afford to keep Trevor. Regardless of for how much they'll on the hook with his inflated contract the Jaguars can't survive fielding a team that never wins. There is a limit to how long they can hold on to a QB that can't win enough, or any, games. Lawrence may get the Jaguars to move to London. And there has been talk of the Jaguars going to London.
@@davidely7032
The flaw of this argument is pinning ALL the issues of Jacksonville on Trevor Lawrence, as if they aren't a poverty franchise that whenever has had the chance to screw things up they have done it.
There is an argument to be made that the only smart decision that franchise has made in a literal half decade is drafting Trevor Lawrence, and that because it was such a no brainer that they were basically "forced" into it by common wisdom. Had Trevor been even a somewhat controversial pick they are the kind of stupid team to draft Zach Wilson over him, and this is not just speculation since they are also the franchise that a year later drafted Travon Walker over Aidan fucking Hutchinson.
My point being, sure, IF they go 0-17 it will be a though bullet to bite keeping Trevor for the long run, but Josh Hines-Allen is the only player worth a damn in that entire team, the rest is just "potential", in most cases unfulfilled. And, I'm not a Jagus fan nor watch most of their games, but when I watch them play offense that looks like a 90s team. There are no layups on offense, everything is hard, so when your QB is not in a good moment you're counting on him to make hard throw after hard throw to keep the chains moving? That's just asking for disaster.
But well, whatever, the last 3 years pf NFL football kind of have killed or at least put the "QB bust" stereotype under the microscope, some teams are just a young QB grinder, and the Jags seem to be a textbook example.
@@ХорхеГарсия-э5е tbf jags have been a playoff team like a serious one every decade since mid 90s or so . From Garrard to mjd to blake bortles (not saying he was good just the era) Their have been much worse franchise histories lol
I smell a 1991 NFC Championship Game rematch.
Lions vs Redskins i can see it
As a Bills fan who has heard all off season how the Bills window has closed and Tua/Coach Mikey are gonna run the AFC east: BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@cwag07 remember where all this BS comes from. Fans can't control what crap the media is spinning. They tend to oversensationalize everything.
@@crankybastid2197 lol no.
Media and fans alike were chirping all off-season.
@@cwag07 Not this fan. I am still unsure about this line up actually achieving anything. Living an hour away from Buffalo and frequenting that town quite a bit I have to listen to all the Bill's hype and don't believe it either. I'm also a Habs fan Bwahahahahaha One thing we can both agree on is how brutal the Leafs and their fans are :) aaannd the best chicken wings in the world.
Go out and trade for Winston, Mariota, Howell or Wentz at this point
that won't solve their problem. MM has tailored this offense to Tua and no one else can run this damn thing. He has to adjust his game plan to the QBs best traits. At this point Keep It Simple Stupid and draw up plays Huntley will succeed with. He usually loves throwing to TEs and I don't think there was one TE pass or catch last night... Stop running and passing sideways teams have adjusted to not playing to their stupid motions. MM has to adjust and fix this or this season is over.
teams that signed or traded for capable backups aren't letting them go cheap
sign cam newton, run read option, QB power, stretch run, and play action off if it with 2-3 deep shots a game, and crossing routes off the play action. Turn it into power football. Tell Jeff Wilson lace up his cleats because 65% run will be the offense.
Did McDaniel lose that locker room?
Miami is going to be high draft. Like 12-15 pick. Draft quarterback. As your backup. Spend money o-lime. Giving Tau that money. For a injury problem player. Is crazy. Before the draft the player got hurtt in Alabama.
🔥🔥🔥 Mike McDaniel
It's time to bring back the thrill!.......that's tanne-thrill 👍
Would Russel Wilson do better than what they have right now in Miami? He is still mobile and healthy and can do deep throws.
Averaging 13 points a game. I feel as if teams have caught up to Mike McDaniels’ system.
Tua comes back behind a o line that can’t protect him , what the hell do you think the outcome is going to be 😳
I didn't know what Miami was thinking when they drafted. The only o lineman they drafted was a developmental tackle in the 2nd and when he started looked horibble. They did not address interior of either oline or dline and drafted two edge rushers who when drafted were edge 4 and 5 on the depth chart. Trading up for a rb3 and drafted two slot receivers when they could of drafted a tight end which they never do. If they are a top 5 pick I think they should draft a QB and if not draft one in the 2nd.
This disaster is now easy to look past… see you in the draft… let’s hope there’s someone making decisions that knows how to draft offensive linemen.
When RE says that Tua went through last season without getting a concussion, what that says to me is; the Dolphins management have had 18 months to plan a backup to a concussion-prone and they still could not come up with a Plan B?
They need a new coach.
Mike McDaniel looks like that little chicken (Egghead Jr) on Foghorn Leghorn..
Giving Tua that contract was not a good idea. He deserved a contract, but not that one.
His parents and his wife deserve it, as they pushed him so hard to go back to football in early 2023.
Did he tho? 3rd worst contract behind DeSean and Dak. All 3 teams are now basically irrelevant for 5 years
HOW DO US FANS KNOW THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD OFFENSIVE LINE AND A DAMN GOOD BACKUP QB. HOW FOES THE GM NOT KNOW THIS AND OR ADDRESS THIS? WTF OUR WINDOW IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING.
What QB’s are on the market? Go get it.
The day after Hill’s self-inflicted run-in with the cops, based on the Dolphins organization’s defense of Hill’s childish behavior, I called the year a failure for the entire organization. The Dolphins organization from top to bottom lacks discipline and accountability. Does this culture originate with the owner?
They should’ve called Tannehill.
Grier needs to get fired. He's the reason why we have Tua, a injury proned qb with a weak arm. And no O-line.
Gotta have depth, this is the NFL. Players will get injured!!!!not if but when....
Mike McDaniel is showing he's not an NFL coach. His team is lifeless and has no plan going forward and that is the coaches fault.
To be fair, it takes time to fully become a good head coach. I remember Belichik taking over the browns with very little success. His defence was one of the best in the league for that stint. Andy Reid, Mike Shanahan, and many more take time to figure it all out. Some never do. I think this is very humbling to Mike and he probably living in some mini hell camp in his mind.
A coach giving a tender kiss to his weeping QB was an instant red flag.
the cool/quirky guy schtick doesn't work when you're 0-4. he's never seemed like head coach material but what do i know
The original sin here was drafting Tua. That was exacerbated by then watching Tua fail 2nd half of every season so far and then decide that he’s our guy and give him a Super Bowl level QB contract.
I didn't think Huntley looked "lost," he came in cold on short notice and I thought he played well all things considered. I'd stick with him for awhile.
never should've drafted Tua or sign him to the large deal. this disaster could be seen from miles away.
O/U 7+ wins for Miami this year?
Tua's injury is only part of the problem. This club couldn't beat teams over .500 last year with a stronger roster than the current one. The players have quit. They know Tua will get concussed again and McDaniel doesn't have the answers. If Ross doesn't clean house in the off-season he stands to lose even more.
