It’s pretty close to the play I described in my last post, getting excited with what I envisioned McDaniel doing.
I’ve been trying to not get too hyped up about McDaniel strictly because we’ve seen several offensive wizards come through Miami and fall on their faces.It’s pretty close to the play I described in my last post, getting excited with what I envisioned McDaniel doing.
If it wasn’t evident already, me being bullish about the teams future directly correlates to my belief in McDaniel and him being, one of, if not the most intriguing head coaching prospect I’ve ever seen.
The hype about this particular throw is weird to me because I never thought Tua’s deep accuracy was in question. The questions about Tua relate to his ability to force the ball into tight windows downfield, as well as the concerns about processing that are common to all young QBs who haven’t yet demonstrated an ability to sustain league-average or better performance. This video doesn’t speak to either of those concerns.
It’s a general pushback against the narrative that has developed. “Tua can’t throw deep.” That’s it, without any context. Miami’s own social media team also screwed the pooch earlier in the offseason and put up a clip of Tua under throwing Tyreek that set off a social media firestorm.
Don't we see these things out of virtually every team's camp? I've seen several similar tweets about Jones and Parker already. Right before that tweet, PFF had a similar one about Jameis.
Mauf, nothing against you here, as I believe that you're being genuine in your comments; however, the following line: "I never thought Tua’s deep accuracy was in question," following the recent highlight is what every national (garbage) talking head is saying after questioning that very thing on a continuous cycle. Tua's deep throw attempts/data have been cited countless times this offseason. "He can't throw it farther than 10 yards." A 1-hour montage of media combined clips stating this in various ways could be made ... which now makes the statement, "Well, we never said he couldn't throw the deep ball," appear to be obvious gaslighting.
It’s a continuous cycle. I look forward to the eventual full circle take of “Tua isn’t anything without Tyreek and Waddle just like at Alabama when he had all those weapons.”
I edited out my previous post to keep it short and sweet, but I typed out almost that exact point verbatim.
If were being that precise about it, he caught it almost exactly at the 10.
Funny dude. He made it all of three weeks before having to deal with a media fire storm.
I absolutely empathize with Flores. I can certainly see why he would feel enormous pressure to try and appease the owner and keep his high profile job.
I've lived through so many Dolphins' hype trains it's hard to keep track. Is this more of a Dan Campbell esque hype train or a full blown Mike Wallace, Dannell Ellerbe, Philip Wheeler OMG we're so stacked type of situation?
The oddsmakers are still leaning in the Trust Bill direction, but the Pats offense is currently doing their best to recreate the 2020 Dolphins offense and coaching staff.
Nobody has players on their roster that can slow Tyreek. You need to scheme his speed. The last 2 games against the Patriots, he averaged 5 catches for 63 yards.
Tyreek’s impact is sometimes being the decoy. If Bill wants to take away Tyreek, that’s cool. That means Waddle is going to be getting some favorable looks. Gesicki will probably be seeing some favorable looks. The running game will see light boxes.
Um, what?
Citing the line play without acknowledging that they added Connor Williams and Terron Armstead is a bit weak.
I wasn’t really pushing back on that, though I’m not as bullish on the Dolphins as you. I’m saying the Dolphins have gone through major changes this off-season, while the Pats have had a lot of continuity. I thought it was weird that you cited changes to BB’s coaching staff as a reason to be bearish on the Pats Week 1, when the Dolphins have made much bigger changes to both coaching and personnel. The revamped O-Line, in particular, is something I wouldn’t necessarily expect to click immediately.
Nearly all of the changes have been on the side of the ball that was significantly worse.
I think the big three questions are:
Flores’s inability to select an OC is a large reason why he’s with Pittsburgh presently. The other, off the field stuff obviously factors in, but that was his largest failure as a coach.
I mean, this seems like a pretty strong take considering that we have recently found out that the Miami Dolphins ownership/organization is a shitshow that has been doing all sorts of shady shit behind the scenes and *jokingly* calling to lose games on purpose.
It isn’t that strong if you’ve followed along for the last 18 months or so.
Oh, I’ve been following along, I am just disagreeing with your take. You need not explain anything to me, I just think you are wrong. Just message boarding and all and sharing my opinion, which is different from your opinion. Based on what we now know about how the organization operated behind Flores’ back, it seems like an aggressive take to say that the reason why he is in Pittsburgh right now after going 24-25 the last 3 years — with a 19-14 record the last 2 years — is because of his choice of Chan Gailey as OC.
He also failed to develop the QB the team drafted, pushed to trade for a sexual predator, tried to usurp the GM and consolidate organizational power, got into public and private conflicts with the local media, etc etc etc.
What would your vote be for your Phins? Same, or one tier up?
With Skylar Thompson having a standout pre-season, wouldn't it behoove them to explore a trade involving he or Bridgewater? It sounds as if the plan is currently to carry 3 QBs going into the season, but it may be tough to see one of those guys laying dormant all season if that CB thinness becomes a liability or if/when the annual OL circus rears its ugly head.
Same, I think. I can see Miami at 9-11 wins and a possible wild card spot. AFC conference games are going to be critical this year because I can see a bunch of teams in that 9-11 win range.
This makes me think that AVG might be out for a game or two. Flowers is plug-and-play for his spot.
