Ive been very ambivalent about potential Hyde return. Obviously want him back on the field but also want him healthy long term. Those things are sorta fighting each other in my head. I think the place I have settled is that would like him to return behind Damar. That way he doesnt have to overplay as Damar is doing well, but if Damar gets nicked up we feel GREAT about our back up. At that point he could take over starter duties again.

I dont know where. He may mention in his podcasts this week (I think it was herd mentality). His acceptable is his feeling. I think it makes sense. 1 in every 5 attempts is a lot of misses (probably 2-3/game for a LB), 1 in every 10 seems more palatable (probably only 1 for a LB). I dont know how they contextualize these things and agree its important. If there are others about to swallow someone up, then a missed tackle doesnt matter as much as a missed one in your gap and theres noone else to clean up or one in the open field without anyone else nearby.

Thanks. I have Damar Hamlin with more by my eye than PFR (5.9%). Apparently PFF (not that they are great) had him at 14 missed tackles through 12 weeks so there is some subjectivity to all this (as I mentioned). Would like to know where Marino got his numbers https://t.co/vNJwxghrtz" / Twitter Tua is listed at PFR as second in intended air yards per target. I dont think its fair to say he throws just short and intermediate (agree on the over the middle). The dolphins run an explosive pass game that wants to stretch you vertically. Working in the middle of the field mitigates this some, but I suspect Frazier is gonna take that away. I think the elements could really affect Tua if hes trying to throw deep and outside. Also Josh struggles in poor weather? Please review the WC game against the Pats and come to the same conclusion

Yes its ~15% for Milano. Joe Marino has 10% as his acceptable level. I think Tremaine was a bit lower than 10%. As a team I dont think we have a good number.

I think there are a few people that track it. For sure its a bit subjective. However, there seems to be good agreement that Milano has an above average missed tackled rate (not good). Hes not the worst. Hamlin is the one I think needs to be better (~20% iirc) for sure. Dane could serve to be better as well, but they have managed Tre having a high missed tackle rate (though he is great in coverage where Dane is not). Poyer is also missing at a higher clip than normal this year, but I forgive him since hes playing through an elbow injury.

Beasley was not a YAC guy with us at the end of his time. Only 3.7 yards per catch is very low. He is a reliable option to catch the ball which is why i want him. Give Josh that security blanket so when he needs a play to go well he can sling one to Beasley with ease. But after the catch I dont expect much from him. footballoutsiders.com/player/39534/cole-beasley Maybe but we were favorites against Mahomes in KC. Bengals are hot but i wouldnt be surprised to see us as favorites

They did! I was so happy when they flexed us a day early. i think they got in from the week away at 7AM yesterday. The 3 road games in a row has been discussed, but I think this is a big factor. Go on the road to "bond" and fall on your face in back to back games. Now you got to come back to your family, get things in order, and prepare for the bills. hoping this really wears on them. https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/miami-dolphins-ready-for-big-california-trip

He did go to the hospital after the game. so youre right and i can edit to say "why the jets trainers thought he should go to the hospital after the game" rather than "he had to go." Its not a head issue so if he says he wants to play through the pain then noone is negligent. Respect the nit picking, but was there a harder hit on white? really wanna make sure im remember it correctly

Now with your other post I think you need to weigh the risk of punting in that weather. Considering we had one blocked already that game and Josh has been fine on designed roll outs I think the risk of the punt may have been the worry versus the risk of a TO and or them moving the ball on us after the punt (pretty much 0% with our without a TO). Lastly, I dont think McD said everything was fine with the kick after 13 seconds. I though he very quickly said there was a miscommunication on that and he took fault. This play sounded like no miscommunication (the lead up to these two plays was very different, OMG we scored a TD what we do vs we wanna take a shot after we get the ball)

I like alot of your post but youre all over the place here. Why is a sack bad if youre so concerned with stopping the clock? I think thats why the call is great cause josh can run and take care of the ball rather than be in the pocket where fumbles/picks are much more likely. you dont think we should take a kill shot at all fine. McD is on the headset too. McD could stop Dorsey if he disagreed. McD was ok with taking a shot too which is why Dorsey should not and will not be fired (shees). If we wanna go down the rabbit hole of things that could happen (as you did with picks and fumbles and lions and tigers and bears oh my!), then consider we had a punt blocked in that game already. I think the risk of punt block yesterday was greater than the risk of josh not taking care of the ball on a roll out (designed roll outs have not been an issue for TOs). How do you think 46 seconds, 1 TO, and 79 yards could have screwed us in that weather? If they were down a field goal im with you make them get in range without a TO. As it was they took 16 seconds with only 1 attempt going beyond the sticks. They werent gonna be able to get to the endzone if they completed all those and got OB. Again I like a lot of the things you post but I think youre over the top on it. You disagree fine; but pretty obviously McD was fine with the call and it did not "Put his job in jeopardy"

picking a nit. Who hit him harder? That was by far the hardest hit of the game and was probably why he had to go to hospital.

Discussion is giving this thread too much credit. It literally says Dorsey should be fired. Thats not happening. We could be discussing run game or short passing, but the premise that Dorsey should be fired is silly and makes this place hard to swallow. I'm fine with the kill shot. It did NOT totally screw us. Jets got the ball with 46 seconds left to go get a TD. Thats a long shot. ESPN win % had us > 98% after that play. Also he did roll out Jos,h and Josh decided to throw the ball. He gave Josh the option to throw which Im fine with it. I would argue the kill shot on 1st down makes more sense than 3rd down when teams are expecting it more (it is creative at least sheesh). I would like to see the run more but wow this post.

not going through the rest of this thread cause it is depressing but yes i remember a game. Last game against the jets. We schemed John Brown open deep and he couldnt make a play on a slightly underthrown ball that had DPI. Diggs was open across the middle for maybe a TD but Josh missed him on the first drive. Later we got Diggs unguarded in the slot and ran a curl. It got tackled pretty easily, but later in the game we see the whip route from the same formation. Also the Play action pass to Davis that set up first and goal on the second TD was scheming a person open. Thats a lot of schemed open peeps (I think there may have been more). Execution has been a problem. we had what 5 dropped passes. Dorsey hasn't been perfect but hes been fine.

Not sure but it’s a common thing that most teams do. Motion your biggest WR into the box to get another blocker at the expensive of bringing in a CB (maybe). Dorsey has used this to set up for big plays too. See first TD of the year for one

Gabe is known to be a big OBJ fan. I think he would be there no matter what as he has stylized his game after him and idolizes him.

When I see all the coverage from that play last weekend I sorta shrug and think people should see what he did to the Jets at the end of last year. Stiff arming Quinen Williams and then shrugging off his brother to throw to diggs is still the most bonkers play I have ever seen a QB make.

Agreed. Would also add practice as joe Marino has mentioned. Came before the jets game so not much there as he learns playbook, no reps with josh before Vikings game, crazy short blizzard/flu week before browns, short week before lions. Before pats game was his first normal week with the team. I agree his numbers haven’t been where I want them but in context of how much time on task he has had I am still hopeful for growth.

Pulling is currently illegal. I dont know that they are calling it (distinctly remember open field pulling of an Eagles runner that didnt get called), but pulling is not allowed where as the pushing is considered legal.

Is there any data to support that this type of play is less safe. Or is it just anecdotes from a bygone era? If the rule was changed in 2005 I would think we have sufficient data.

As a pass blocker he might be. I think thats a dimension we need from cook that I worry about.

All about what they gave away but good move. Does this mean beane is stock up?

Not saying we should load up on defense. I agree with you we are good there. Will always take a weapon on offense for the right cost. Ultimately I trust Beane so if we sit tight I feel really good with the roster we have.

Those 4 players dont really scare me more than what they had when we played in week 5. We played the 3-2-6 with Siran Neal and were fine with Hardman in for Toney. I think we can still run that defense and have success running 2 man or cover 1 lurk. Beyond that I think with Tre back we can replace Siran with Benford as the 6th DB. I think were too good in nickel and dime and people are gonna really need to be clever to get us out of those personnel packages.

So much stuff. During off-season I was very explicit that we would be much better than what we were ALL season. I fought the position by position comparison of the end of the season while talking season long stats. For this discussion I’ve clearly focused on pass pro after some ambiguity in my first post. I think you’re wrong assigning all the pass pro improvement to Allen. He has helped them but he’s not number 1 in time to release so their ability to be number 1 in pressure rate is a sign of improvement. Morse has not had good health with an elbow injury compared to last year so I don’t understand that argument. And you were pretty neg on Quessenberry this off-season so not sure why you say RT is better if him and brown are interchangeable. you say so many nonsensical things. I’m still laughing at blitz rate being a sign that our pass pro is viewed as weak. I’ve heard your arguments. Data and logic suggests you’re wrong. go bills

lol at STILL calling it cherry picking, i literally did every pass rush metric. How is using ALL the data cherry picking. i have focused entirely on pass pro so not sure what your 2nd and third lines are saying Agree Allen is playing at a different level. So is Tremaine (I know your favorite). For both I think the play of the line in front of them is part of the story. From you I think this is as much of an agreement as I'll get when your priors are not immediately confirmed.
