He looked like the same Darnold. Same thing with the Jets.. when the conditions are perfect around him.. he can execute, but ratchet up the pressure and give less than perfect conditions and he loses composure and forgets how to do the basic things.
Does anyone have stats of Derrick Henry vs a Sean McDermott defense?
Also, control the clock and keep the other offense off the field. It does wonders for a suspect defense.
I'd imagine the dolphins would have to eat a significant portion of the contract to facilitate a deal and I think it would like still be a day 3 pick. They restructured his contract and guaranteed 106 million last offseason.
Both he and Grier are safe

Dolphin fans are pretty irate about the whole thing. There's some suspicion by a group of their fans who think the Dolphins believed since the chances were so low that it was better to gamble on winning with Huntley so if they did end up making it.. Tua would be healthier.
It's pretty unclear. They keep intimating he's not medically ready, but when the Dolphins media pressed them on if he was "medically cleared" they were cagey on the answer. Tua said it wasn't his decision to not play.
