To be fair I said that before I knew poyer and Oliver were out lol

I don’t think they’re an offensive juggernaut but it’s certainly not taking all their might lol

We had them on that fumble play too im still salty about that…singletarys just gotta get in the way of a rusher and he couldn’t even do that

Miami is the most boom or bust defense I’ve ever seen…they must really think they can’t cover

We had them with the right playcall on 3rd down and singletary blew the block.

Looked like josh audibled to the right play and singletary just whiffed the block but I didn’t get a great look at it

Did moss whiff the block there? Or was that singletary? I didn’t see

Dolphins players have been talking about mcdaniel’s ‘cojones’ for weeks…4th and short on their side of the field and he punts

Didn’t he give himself up worst case? Even if he was untouched?

I doubt they will…tua struggles against us because we don’t play a lot of man coverage so he has to read what zone were in and he can’t rely on his first read just beating his man. The dude won’t throw the ball unless the receiver is wide open

Idk how they can’t see tua is holding their team back…the dude misses so many opportunities. A good/great qb would not have needed that furious late comeback last week. the ravens defense was pretty bad all game and tua just could not take advantage. They just dink and dunk and then eventually a screen or a pass in the flat gets blown up in the backfield and they end up with a 3rd and long

I was in the dolphins ravens game day thread on Reddit last week and most of the dolphins fans wanted him benched at halftime. He’s accurate when his receiver is wide open like his receivers at Alabama often were but he seems so gun-shy about throws in tight windows. He either throws the ball into the turf or doesn’t attempt the pass at all he doesn’t have the arm strength for out routes and he isn’t great at keeping his eyes downfield when he scrambles. That dolphins offense is stacked and tua is going to hold them back by being not much more than a game manager. I still think the dolphins would be good but they could be much better if they upgrade the qb position.

I watched both games in full which is why i used the word ‘pretty’ before good lol if they can scheme guys open tua will find them but he still seems pretty gun-shy and doesn’t even attempt tight window throws. His two really nice throws from the ravens game were the classic throw the ball super high in the end zone so the defender has no chance and maybe your guy makes a great play and comes down with it. they should not have had any offensive tds against NE but the patriots blew two tackles on that play to close out the half I’d want to seal up a win against them early though before they get Byron jones and Xavien Howard healthy

I’ve watched just about every second of the dolphins two games this season and I think people are overestimating the system being kinder to tua actually. Not saying he isn’t better but he’s certainly not much better. Tuas performed about the same against decent coverage as last season…that ravens 4th quarter is going to be a crazy statistical outlier because of how bad that secondary was communicating down the stretch. He’s a mostly one read qb who just won’t throw the ball in tight windows and it showed for 7/8 quarters of the season. he’s laser accurate when his receiver has a step but he seems pretty hesitant to try to throw guys open. They have had plenty of drives stall out dumping the ball out in the flats and losing 4-5 yards when he has receivers open downfield. he looks like he’s still holding the team back to me so I hope people keep talking him up honestly. Lamar would be pretty scary with that supporting cast and I’ve heard that rumored.

I hope not…a division game is much more important. Especially with Miami looking pretty good so far

The 2021 dolphins defense was pretty good,they were middle of the road in yards and points allowed. They’re very boom or bust because they like to play man coverage without a lot of safety help and if they can win their matchups they do great but if they can’t they get torched. they literally can’t play man coverage with the guys they have healthy now though against a team with a lot of potential receiving threats. That’s pretty much their whole defensive identity so they are going to struggle for awhile. they had two matchups against teams without a lot of weapons at the wr position and haven’t looked great in either game.

People just look at how good the defensive depth chart is it seems and they don’t really consider individual matchups. At full strength Miami maybe has a chance to play man against us which is what they prefer to do but I think they’ve got nik needham or igbinoghene replacing Byron jones and they aren’t very good. On top of that Howard isn’t 100% healthy Their linebackers aren’t particularly good either; the strength of that defense is the secondary and they are missing an important piece of that. Any given Sunday and all that but this current Miami defense is considerably worse than the titans and rams defenses we’ve faced

I think they had Byron jones and a healthy Xavien Howard in that game if I’m remembering correctly…they love to play man coverage without a lot of safety help so having banged up corners should be a bigger deal for them than us. I’m sure Howard is gonna play but they’ve got a big dropoff on the other corner spot compared to that game last year and who knows how close to 100% Howard is

I think Levi Wallace admitted on someone’s podcast that he played the sideline when he shouldn’t have on that last play before the fg….I can’t remember what he said word for word though so I may be misremembering

Yikes…I’d definitely try to load up on offense now to compensate for all these defensive injuries

It’s matchups though not comparing overall how good a defense is. They like to play cover 0 man which has disastrous results against us. Our defense will be much better against their offense than their defense is against ours. Doesn’t matter that they’ve got good guys on paper it’s still a terrible schematic matchup for them

Tua is for sure a one read guy…unfortunately for the ravens their miscommunications were oftentimes leaving his first read wide open lol. he doesn’t seem great at keeping his eyes downfield when he buys some extra time in the pocket either I don’t think they’ll have time to even get deep…baltimore had the double whammy of zero pass rush and horrendous communication in the secondary going last week.

You think it’s Williams ? Austin Jackson is pretty bad and he’s on IR and their replacement RT is even worse. Robert hunt is bad, eichenberg is bad. Idk why they slid Williams to center though he’s a pretty high quality guard

It doesn’t look anywhere near as bad as I thought it would based on the caption but that could be wishful thinking lol

Tua was also very average in 7 quarters of the season so far and great in one
