Dude... Even as a former defensive lineman, I LOVE seeing well-schemed and well-executed offensive play. It's part of what makes football fun, is watching people who know EXACTLY what they're doing do it well.
It's just outright satisfying to watch human chess in action, I'm an Australian who never played American football and barely understands the game but even I can appreciate this beautiful art.
I had a feeling that Miami made a good hire and this guy would bring some 49er offensive jazz. Hope Tua can stay healthy and the Fins make a Wild Card spot.
@@tiffanys9878 agreed the division is open I do expect the bills to beat the jets this week but dolphins have a very favorable schedule could possibly be 8-3 right after the bye week which is huge for the dolphins after losing 3 games without tua
Glad to see someone giving McDaniel credit. He has designed an offense that plays to his star's strengths instead of trying to change them. Tua is going to light up defenses playing this kind of ball because he is so great at timing passes and Hill and Waddle are just so fast and crisp on patterns, its almost impossible to defend. PHINS UP
Well done! I'm a bit of a football junkie, but don't usually love watching film breakdowns. You guys actually made this fun and intriguing. Your editing and copy really pull the viewer into the head of McDaniel. Thank you.
1. Love the Graphics up front. When you don’t use them, I get lost, however. Like when you then show other plays that went wrong. 2. Great Narration. 3. The writing is so engaging. Love the lingo, “if the safeties squeeze…” etc. Keep ‘em coming, this is so insightful.
I felt like I was sitting in a press box beside a offensive coordinator who’s explaining the plays to me while watching this! Great breakdown and explanation. Had to sub 🔥🔥
Great coaching, and great players who execute their assignments is a winning combination. As a long-time Dolphins fan, I'm really excited to see where this goes.
Thank you for this breakdown. As a Dolphin fan, I had no idea what was going on but what I saw was new and blowing me away. I don’t know how the rest of the NFL can gameplan against this offensive onslaught as the season progresses and as Tua/McDaniel and company continues to gel. Let’s see what happens. This has to be the best breakdown that I’ve ever seen. Thanks again.
I really appreciate you giving these guys their praise even if youre not a fan of the teams, it’s refreshing to hear someone talk about the good things instead of the negative! Keep up the great work ! Subscriber earned !
I love the beats in the back round my dude. That with your breakdowns, easily makes this one of my favorite channels. Always get excited when I see you posted. Keep it up brother!
Found you because of this video. Watched a few more. As a "casual" NFL fan who doesn't understand the high level stuff I love seeing the break downs, in depth analysis, and the overall objectivity you maintain them with. Keep up the good work!
watching a coach put an offense on the field tailored for the talent is so damn fun to watch, especially when it features 2 of the fastest wrs in the league and one of the fastest backs in mostert, its awesome to watch.
It's not just Tyreek and Waddle that're burners in this offense. Tua, Mostert and Gesicki are all fast for their respective positions. Especially Mostert. It wouldn't surprise me if the linemen were fast too.
I think it's probably easier to find offensive linemen who can succeed in this offense than in conventional offenses. They need to be able to move their feet but they don't have to be as big. A lot of the blocking in this system is about angles and sealing defenders rather than mauling them. Also, the runs and pass plays look so much alike out of the same formations and personnel packages that it makes the defenders hesitate instead of playing with reckless abandon. I remember that when Shanahan came to Atlanta as OC (and with McDaniel on his staff) that an offensive line that had been terrible added Alex Mack at center and quickly became much better than they had been in years.
Tua's growth is impressive. If he keeps working as hard as he has been he will keep improving, especially considering he came off a major hip injury his rookie yr and all the drama around him and new offensive coordinators every year. He's had a lot of motivation to prove doubters wrong, will the motivation and hard work continue with praise and success??
@@jessiejames5510 You'll be seeing him lead the league in QBR so there's THAT,.While Herbert is throwing pristine deep balls and throwing picks all day at 15 yds
McDaniel is a guy who knows how to use his playmakers to get the most out of his offense. Not the other way around. You would think more coaches would know this but they don't. Most (not all) old school coaches still think it's their way or the highway. Great stuff!
@@virahpayam Josh McDaniels with Cam Newton in New England was one of the saddest offenses I had ever witnessed. It's crazy to me that he managed to get a job as a head coach after that.
I'm loving the improvement. A likeable and quirky coach, incredible receivers, and Tua, who has quietly become one of the better QBs of the league. Need some work on the defense, but the direction of this team is up.
This Miami offense reminds me a bit of the Marino/Duper/Clayton trio in the 80's. Duper and Clayton were both short (5'9" or so) but had incredible speed and ability to change direction on a dime like Waddle and Hill. Both had good hands. They had to, as Marino was renowned for his hard throws. Marino probably had a better arm than Tua, but he couldn't move the way Tua does. Both QBs are quick release/timing and very accurate passers. And when you have all that speed on the outside defenses are in trouble on every down. Bill Walsh and his 49ers solved that Dolphin offense in the super bowl by running strong pass rushes right into Marino's face. This threw off his timing and capitalized on his lack of mobility. Can't do that with Tua. Now with some serious defensive options, the Dolphins will be hard to beat the rest of the season.
"Marino probably had a better arm than Tua". He definitely did. Tua's arm isn't even comparable lol. You can count on your hand how many QBs in the history of the NFL have ever had the arm Marino possessed. Tua is accurate, but his arm is nothing to write home about.
Not sure you youngsters understand that if Marino was around today with these rules he would have been unstoppable. You could just throw every play and he would get 500 yards easy
Yea bro I grew up watching Marino in the 80s, He was putting up 5,0000 yards passing a year when no one else in the league was passing. The man had unbelievable accuracy, arm strength and quick release, not to mention an uncanny mind for the game. Tua is great, reminds me of Drew brees. I think Tua is playing at an elite level right now.
@@aldfjak Yeah, that's not how the NFL works. 300? Maybe. Not saying he would struggle, but to say he'd throw over 40 TDs and 5,000 yards every year is just absurd and ignorant. You also have to keep in consideration Marino would NOT be used to 80s defenses because, well, he would've played college and high school in the 2010s or 2000s. Bulkier stats sure, but he still would be left without a ring. Just another Brees and Favre- except they have a super bowl, he doesn't.
my two teams are chiefs and dolphins and they've both had tyreek and they've both got crazy coaches that do insane stuff, these are the best football years of my life right now, great video man, your breakdowns are perfectly succinct and point out so much more than I'd ever catch watching casually. loved this
This is great teaching on football. Even on details like the fact that I had never considered the difficulty for defenders to catch a fast pass from a left handed quarterback considering the opposite spin.
3:31 I’m sure McDaniel made sure to tell Tua to snap the ball right as the motion player’s defender is coming around perfectly timed to run into his own teammate.
1:45 This is literally how I used to design my plays in Madden 13 on the Wii U lol. Everything had unpredictable cuts. I thought the game was glitched that it worked so well....apparently basic physics and velocity escapes football defensive logic.
The way I see tua’s arm this season is that the underthrown passes are what we should’ve seen had he started his rookie and second years as if he was being properly coached
You had it right, and the YT algorithm knows! It just suggested this video to me a couple of days ago, then BAM! Dolphins pummel the Broncos with 70 points!
It wasn't "so many". There were several and every QB has them. It happens. To add context, it was Tua's 1st game (vs PIT) back from concussion after almost missing three weeks of football. Where you're in concussion protocol, you usually don't engage in football activity for a couple of weeks. I think on some of those "dropped INTs" (which is a cliche), it bad decision-making, poor anticipation, and just sometimes bad mechanics, and just forcing stuff, and just rust after missing some time.
Great video, as an Australian who doesnt really understand the minutia of the game it's still very interesting to watch strategy develop and play out. Subbed
This was what the Niner offense was supposed to be. We had a kid who can make throws all over the field. We have the dynamic Deebo, speedster Aiyuk and Ray Ray, 2 headed monster with Elijah and Wilson at the time and reliable tight end with George and Ross. Miami is very fun to watch and I'm glad the culture changed. I just hope Tua and co can stay healthy. Mike is a great coach!
Sorry/Not sorry for stealing your coach lol. I am a big fan of Deebo Samuel tho. And I'm not usually a 49er watcher. Good luck in Dec, you may need it lol.
Dan Orlovsky made a great point about the combination of the speed of Hill and Waddle and all the pre snap motion McDaniel uses to help them get clean releases. Tua's average air yards per pass attempt is among the highest in the NFL this season, but he's still one of the fastest QBs at getting the ball out. Usually a QB has to hold the ball and put pressure on the OL to throw the ball downfield (see Miami offense the last 2 years), but Miami is hitting throws 15-20 yards downfield with Tua releasing the ball in 2 to 2.5 seconds.
Dolphin fan here and probably won’t watch too much other team vids but I’m subscribing because of the way you broke down the tape. Well done and thank you
So I know the rules of football kinda, but this video is a perfect window into how football is actually played, like in your head, the strategy. It really makes me appreciate games and sports in general. For example, I could watch a clip of the game League of Legends and break it down similar to this video with lingo and describing the consequences and reasons for certain actions. I believe this adjacent knowledge of completely different games actually helped me to understand your breakdown better, it kinda made everything seem like it fit together really well. I'm not describing it very well, but I hope the point is salient.
Just stumbled across this channel. As someone who wants to coach someday-at any level-this seems like a channel I'll have to keep my eye on. You've got yourself a new subscriber!
as a phins fan, this year has been so refreshing lol. ever since 2000 after marino left, we have been a team that threw nothing but check down passes, and its been infuriating, even with guys like marshall and wallace, with able qbs at the time, we still made just horrible play calling decisions, i just hope we can keep this goin, and keep these guys together through the years to make a proper run. im skeptical on tua still, but hes won every game hes been in this year, so ill give him a pass
Josh Allen had 5 dropped interceptions vs Miami and 7 interceptable passes vs the Packers with 2 being picked off. Almost only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades
I think you should do a film analysis on goedert. Blocking and receiving game. He's absolutely crazy and I genuinely believe he has a case of being better than all but Andrews & Kelce this year
The biggest strengths that Tua has are being utilized to the fullest extent in this offense. Timing and anticipation, keyhole accuracy, lightning fast release, really fast processing of defenses and his reads. But all the others hinge on the timing aspect The key to stopping Tua is disrupting his timing. Sometimes his other strengths make up for when timing goes out the window, other times it can almost lead to turnovers like has happened a lot this season. Tua has the kind of fight in him that he REFUSES to let a play die and it can catch up to him quickly. One of the times it still ends up working out in spite of some of his deficiencies is that long pass at 8:10. The timing of the play would normally put tyreek about 35-40 yards downfield, but because tua has to hurry out of the pocket that extra time leads to a farther throw and just at the edge of what tua's capable of without perfect technique. All that being said i do wanna point out how fixing the big deficiench of tua's arm strength can make up for more than a few bad plays that tua's made and or could have been to the house. Having more arm strength not only allows for deeper range, it also means you can get the ball farther when maximum technique isnt available to you like at 8:10. I love tua and i'm so happy to see him vindicate himself this season and prove he IS that guy. I also want him to improve, and i think that's where he can focus the most. Start pumping iron, king
I think it's way less about pumping iron and more about the hip injury he took three years ago. That injury fucked him up and he had to spend two years just getting his body right. This off-season was the first time since that's he's been able to work on his mechanics and try to get back to what he was as a passer at Alabama, and that's the reason for the big increase on his velocity this season. He still struggles throwing deep sometimes though, especially when he's forced off of his spot. To throw deep right now Tua needs to be able to properly set his feet so he can fully engage his hip and lower body where most of his muscle mass is. When he's forced off his spot and underthrows you can see his base usually too wide and isn't in line with his motion. He can't get full power from his base causing the ball to fall short, but when he's on his spot and in rhythm he gets aligned and has enough arm to hit them in stride like that one on 3rd and 22 to Waddle. He just needs more time to get mechanically right again and there's plenty of time to do so.
@@ringsofjupiter9229 All of that is true. But i like i said arm strength helps make up for when body mechanics and technique are not there. It's another tool in the box
@@ringsofjupiter9229 yeah bro that hip injury was brutal but he has more than enough time to get back to bama tua. If you truly see it, he has the opportunity to prove a lot of haters wrong
The most impressive thing is Tua is far and away the best passer in the league right now. Waddle and Hill deserve a lot of credit, but the Dolphins are 19th in Yards After Catch...where a lot of YAC yards came during the 3 weeks Tua was out. He's the real deal. It's fucking Tua Time
Yac is on the qb if tua had hit them in stride or not underthrown alot those passes they would have alot more yac. Btw tua has impressed me a lot this year. But calling him one of the leagues best passers is overrating him bast on the performance of the weapons around him.
@@husneiniqbal228 Sure he has. But he always puts it in a spot where they can make a play. If he never underthrows ever he'd be on some ridiculous never before seen pace. He's human, after all
@@husneiniqbal228 You're clueless on Tua. He's getting less in YAC because he's throwing the ball further down the field than any QB in the NFL this season. It's not an issue with his accuracy as he's throwing fewer bad balls than just about anybody in the NFL, including Mahomes and Brady, according to the advanced stats.
Is it just me or does watching a lefty just make the plays look so much better? We see so few lefty throwers that it really is a treat to see one do so well
it’s honestly usually the opposite. People say his throwing motion is weird but when you flip the tape to make it look like he’s a righty his form is close to perfect (other than sometimes he plants his front foot to the side slightly for some reason)
@@ParkerCrooks that slight plant to the side screws him over sometimes. his most significant flaws to me have been he tries to make something work that isn't there sometimes and the plant doesn't let him hit the deep ball perfectly. those are coachable though. he doesn't have the rocket arm but hes very smart, has elite anticipation, accuracy and elite arm talent with those mishaps cleaned up
Tua has been my favorite QB to watch since I first saw him at Alabama. I love his throwing motion, quick release, accuracy and anticipatory throwing. His 3/4 throwing motion has always reminded me of a lefty Marino. People who claim (or used to claim) that he didn't have any elite traits don't know football or haven't watched him enough.
Pretty back handed compliment when you are favorably comparing your starting QB with his backup. Oh yeah, in all three of those games where the backup played, the guy who received the most snaps was not the starting QB. Does anyone seriously think that Case Keenum could come in for Josh Allen or Chad Henne for Mahomes and not expect a significant dropoff in level of play?
@@dondajulah4168 well that's why Pluggs said it because it is a very noticeable drop off without Tua for the ppl saying Tua isn't that good and all the ppl that wanted Teddy or Skylar to start over Tua
@@Danp34332 lmao the broncos weren’t labeled as a top 5 defense going into this year? they weren’t top 5 last year with pretty much all returning starters except dremont jones?😂 cmon bro u sound dumb lmao it’s an NFL defense that by all accounts going into the year was pretty good and he dropped 70 on their head n had the 2nd most yards ever in a game only being behind by 9 yards they woulda broke the points record if he kicked a field goal with 3 minutes left instead of kneeing it 😂😂 there’s been much much much much worse defenses than the broncos in the history of the nfl n 70 points has only been done 3 other times lmao if you don’t know football just say dat don’t talk like u do tho
Agreed. I get it's hard to be fully aware of every snap of every QB, but Allen had almost 5 against us this year. Like you said, it happens. The QB deserves a negative grade on the play, but we need to stop acting like Tua's issues are unique to him, and not also present in certified great QBs. Tua's detractors won't stop until he is objectively perfect. Which of course will never happen.
As a dolphins fan since I was a young kid lured by their teal uniforms and Marino, duper and Clayton, I can say this is the most enthusiastic and optimistic I've been in A LONG LONG TIME !! I being raised in PA had steelers and eagles fans on ALL SIDES LITERALLY!! I have been loyal and by no means a Fairweather fan.. many many years with nothing to root or cheer for and my winters were not near as happy because of them... my family celebrated super bowls and success while we were in toiletbowls... so now that they are finally playing some good ball and Tua looks best ever I his career, I must give credit to McDaniels and the GM for finally mak8ng moves that give their longtime loyal fans hope and something to feel great about!!! Go PHINS

Bulkier stats sure, but he still would be left without a ring. Just another Brees and Favre- except they have a super bowl, he doesn't.
Excellent breakdown with fair critiques. Great video.
Great breakdown. Thanks!
Here after that 70-20 embarrassment 😭🤣🤣
Wow you did a very sophisticated analysis.....great work.
Tua’s quick release is so sick !!
were taking pre orders..what would you like to order?? LOL
my two teams are chiefs and dolphins and they've both had tyreek and they've both got crazy coaches that do insane stuff, these are the best football years of my life right now, great video man, your breakdowns are perfectly succinct and point out so much more than I'd ever catch watching casually. loved this
Ugh..2 teams
2 teams? Yeah aight
Fin's team's spirit is totally different this year just because having new coaching staff plus Tyrek Hill and Waddle
This is great teaching on football. Even on details like the fact that I had never considered the difficulty for defenders to catch a fast pass from a left handed quarterback considering the opposite spin.
3:31 I’m sure McDaniel made sure to tell Tua to snap the ball right as the motion player’s defender is coming around perfectly timed to run into his own teammate.
This aged immaculately.
Awesome video bud! Love the analysis...Go Fins!
Mike is hilarious and a good coach. The 49ers miss him but wish him success.
1:45 This is literally how I used to design my plays in Madden 13 on the Wii U lol. Everything had unpredictable cuts. I thought the game was glitched that it worked so well....apparently basic physics and velocity escapes football defensive logic.
Idk why madden gave up on create your plays after 13. They were so fun
Most coaches and players are dumb. Give them a small little wrinkle and they break lol
The way I see tua’s arm this season is that the underthrown passes are what we should’ve seen had he started his rookie and second years as if he was being properly coached
Flores was definitely holding him back and limited his arm. Year 2 should’ve been when he started to be able to air it out like he does now
Bro, you got elite film breakdown skills. Great video.
Excellent breakdown the learning curve is smoothen out..
This aged like a fine wine
You had it right, and the YT algorithm knows! It just suggested this video to me a couple of days ago, then BAM! Dolphins pummel the Broncos with 70 points!
Just found your channel. Love the analysis. Subscribed.
You did a great job breaking down the plays.
Here after the 70 drop
Man, that point about DB's not being ready for Tua's lefty-spin on the ball was great. I wondered why so many INT'S were being dropped.
It wasn't "so many". There were several and every QB has them. It happens. To add context, it was Tua's 1st game (vs PIT) back from concussion after almost missing three weeks of football. Where you're in concussion protocol, you usually don't engage in football activity for a couple of weeks. I think on some of those "dropped INTs" (which is a cliche), it bad decision-making, poor anticipation, and just sometimes bad mechanics, and just forcing stuff, and just rust after missing some time.
Great video, as an Australian who doesnt really understand the minutia of the game it's still very interesting to watch strategy develop and play out. Subbed
This was put together masterfully, even better to watch this as a die hard dolphins fan.
This was what the Niner offense was supposed to be. We had a kid who can make throws all over the field. We have the dynamic Deebo, speedster Aiyuk and Ray Ray, 2 headed monster with Elijah and Wilson at the time and reliable tight end with George and Ross. Miami is very fun to watch and I'm glad the culture changed. I just hope Tua and co can stay healthy. Mike is a great coach!
Sorry/Not sorry for stealing your coach lol. I am a big fan of Deebo Samuel tho. And I'm not usually a 49er watcher. Good luck in Dec, you may need it lol.
Dan Orlovsky made a great point about the combination of the speed of Hill and Waddle and all the pre snap motion McDaniel uses to help them get clean releases. Tua's average air yards per pass attempt is among the highest in the NFL this season, but he's still one of the fastest QBs at getting the ball out. Usually a QB has to hold the ball and put pressure on the OL to throw the ball downfield (see Miami offense the last 2 years), but Miami is hitting throws 15-20 yards downfield with Tua releasing the ball in 2 to 2.5 seconds.
Damn dude. Nice video. I am a life long 49er fan but also now a Dolphins fan. Go Mike.
Dolphin fan here and probably won’t watch too much other team vids but I’m subscribing because of the way you broke down the tape. Well done and thank you
Miami is by far the most entertaining team to watch, with their explosive speed.
so much for Frazzling D's... 8-5 on way to 8-6... Lucky if finish the season 10-7
So I know the rules of football kinda, but this video is a perfect window into how football is actually played, like in your head, the strategy. It really makes me appreciate games and sports in general. For example, I could watch a clip of the game League of Legends and break it down similar to this video with lingo and describing the consequences and reasons for certain actions. I believe this adjacent knowledge of completely different games actually helped me to understand your breakdown better, it kinda made everything seem like it fit together really well. I'm not describing it very well, but I hope the point is salient.
Just stumbled across this channel. As someone who wants to coach someday-at any level-this seems like a channel I'll have to keep my eye on. You've got yourself a new subscriber!
as a phins fan, this year has been so refreshing lol. ever since 2000 after marino left, we have been a team that threw nothing but check down passes, and its been infuriating, even with guys like marshall and wallace, with able qbs at the time, we still made just horrible play calling decisions, i just hope we can keep this goin, and keep these guys together through the years to make a proper run. im skeptical on tua still, but hes won every game hes been in this year, so ill give him a pass
Josh Allen had 5 dropped interceptions vs Miami and 7 interceptable passes vs the Packers with 2 being picked off.
Almost only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades
Did you typo house? Was it supposed to be horse? That's the expression I know
He fixed it
Great analysis! Awesome video.
Your commentary is outstanding. Keep up the good work
Just got recommended after they put up 70 on the broncos… sounds like you were right lmao
I think you should do a film analysis on goedert. Blocking and receiving game. He's absolutely crazy and I genuinely believe he has a case of being better than all but Andrews & Kelce this year
Already the 3rd best offensive TE in the game IMO.
I love my Dolphins so much.... great vídeo, thanks for the lesson, PHINS UP
Thank you!
The biggest strengths that Tua has are being utilized to the fullest extent in this offense. Timing and anticipation, keyhole accuracy, lightning fast release, really fast processing of defenses and his reads. But all the others hinge on the timing aspect
The key to stopping Tua is disrupting his timing. Sometimes his other strengths make up for when timing goes out the window, other times it can almost lead to turnovers like has happened a lot this season. Tua has the kind of fight in him that he REFUSES to let a play die and it can catch up to him quickly.
One of the times it still ends up working out in spite of some of his deficiencies is that long pass at 8:10. The timing of the play would normally put tyreek about 35-40 yards downfield, but because tua has to hurry out of the pocket that extra time leads to a farther throw and just at the edge of what tua's capable of without perfect technique.
All that being said i do wanna point out how fixing the big deficiench of tua's arm strength can make up for more than a few bad plays that tua's made and or could have been to the house. Having more arm strength not only allows for deeper range, it also means you can get the ball farther when maximum technique isnt available to you like at 8:10.
I love tua and i'm so happy to see him vindicate himself this season and prove he IS that guy. I also want him to improve, and i think that's where he can focus the most. Start pumping iron, king
I think it's way less about pumping iron and more about the hip injury he took three years ago. That injury fucked him up and he had to spend two years just getting his body right. This off-season was the first time since that's he's been able to work on his mechanics and try to get back to what he was as a passer at Alabama, and that's the reason for the big increase on his velocity this season. He still struggles throwing deep sometimes though, especially when he's forced off of his spot. To throw deep right now Tua needs to be able to properly set his feet so he can fully engage his hip and lower body where most of his muscle mass is. When he's forced off his spot and underthrows you can see his base usually too wide and isn't in line with his motion. He can't get full power from his base causing the ball to fall short, but when he's on his spot and in rhythm he gets aligned and has enough arm to hit them in stride like that one on 3rd and 22 to Waddle. He just needs more time to get mechanically right again and there's plenty of time to do so.
@@ringsofjupiter9229 All of that is true. But i like i said arm strength helps make up for when body mechanics and technique are not there. It's another tool in the box
@@ringsofjupiter9229 yeah bro that hip injury was brutal but he has more than enough time to get back to bama tua. If you truly see it, he has the opportunity to prove a lot of haters wrong
His arm is fine when he properly sets his feet. I've seen him hit WRs in stride 50+ yards downfield.
@@zachrowe6271 again as i stated, arm strength helps in situations that you *cant* use maximum technique and body mechanics
The most impressive thing is Tua is far and away the best passer in the league right now. Waddle and Hill deserve a lot of credit, but the Dolphins are 19th in Yards After Catch...where a lot of YAC yards came during the 3 weeks Tua was out. He's the real deal. It's fucking Tua Time
Yeah anyone who is watching the games can see the dude POST week 1 against the pats, has been nothing short of surgical against defenses
Yac is on the qb if tua had hit them in stride or not underthrown alot those passes they would have alot more yac. Btw tua has impressed me a lot this year. But calling him one of the leagues best passers is overrating him bast on the performance of the weapons around him.
@@husneiniqbal228 Sure he has. But he always puts it in a spot where they can make a play. If he never underthrows ever he'd be on some ridiculous never before seen pace. He's human, after all
@@husneiniqbal228 You're clueless on Tua. He's getting less in YAC because he's throwing the ball further down the field than any QB in the NFL this season. It's not an issue with his accuracy as he's throwing fewer bad balls than just about anybody in the NFL, including Mahomes and Brady, according to the advanced stats.
Such a satisfying video, thx for the content
Is it just me or does watching a lefty just make the plays look so much better?
We see so few lefty throwers that it really is a treat to see one do so well
it’s honestly usually the opposite. People say his throwing motion is weird but when you flip the tape to make it look like he’s a righty his form is close to perfect (other than sometimes he plants his front foot to the side slightly for some reason)
@@ParkerCrooks that slight plant to the side screws him over sometimes. his most significant flaws to me have been he tries to make something work that isn't there sometimes and the plant doesn't let him hit the deep ball perfectly. those are coachable though. he doesn't have the rocket arm but hes very smart, has elite anticipation, accuracy and elite arm talent with those mishaps cleaned up
Tua has been my favorite QB to watch since I first saw him at Alabama. I love his throwing motion, quick release, accuracy and anticipatory throwing. His 3/4 throwing motion has always reminded me of a lefty Marino. People who claim (or used to claim) that he didn't have any elite traits don't know football or haven't watched him enough.
These plays weren't happening when Tua was out and Bridgewater and Thompson had to play. I'm just saying
Pretty back handed compliment when you are favorably comparing your starting QB with his backup. Oh yeah, in all three of those games where the backup played, the guy who received the most snaps was not the starting QB. Does anyone seriously think that Case Keenum could come in for Josh Allen or Chad Henne for Mahomes and not expect a significant dropoff in level of play?
@@dondajulah4168 well that's why Pluggs said it because it is a very noticeable drop off without Tua for the ppl saying Tua isn't that good and all the ppl that wanted Teddy or Skylar to start over Tua
@@dondajulah4168 Exactly. Significant dropoff without Tua despite all these genius play designs and talented WRs
@@exillens Significant drop off for any NFL starting qb that is not bottom third material. Like I said, damning with faint praise.
@@dondajulah4168 But but I thought Teddy Bridgewater was supposed to outperform Tua
I love there breakdown’s bro keep it up 👍🏽
just beautiful analysis... incredible job.
Lmao well this didn’t age well. Dude got figured out quicker than a 4 piece jigsaw puzzle.
70 points today
@@Anthony-tq4di on a college defense lmao
@@Danp34332 lmao the broncos weren’t labeled as a top 5 defense going into this year? they weren’t top 5 last year with pretty much all returning starters except dremont jones?😂 cmon bro u sound dumb lmao it’s an NFL defense that by all accounts going into the year was pretty good and he dropped 70 on their head n had the 2nd most yards ever in a game only being behind by 9 yards they woulda broke the points record if he kicked a field goal with 3 minutes left instead of kneeing it 😂😂 there’s been much much much much worse defenses than the broncos in the history of the nfl n 70 points has only been done 3 other times lmao if you don’t know football just say dat don’t talk like u do tho
I agree with everything except the “dropped interceptions” take. Literally every Qb has a drop int in the game. It happens. Especially Josh Allen
Agreed. I get it's hard to be fully aware of every snap of every QB, but Allen had almost 5 against us this year. Like you said, it happens. The QB deserves a negative grade on the play, but we need to stop acting like Tua's issues are unique to him, and not also present in certified great QBs.
Tua's detractors won't stop until he is objectively perfect. Which of course will never happen.
As a dolphins fan since I was a young kid lured by their teal uniforms and Marino, duper and Clayton, I can say this is the most enthusiastic and optimistic I've been in A LONG LONG TIME !! I being raised in PA had steelers and eagles fans on ALL SIDES LITERALLY!! I have been loyal and by no means a Fairweather fan.. many many years with nothing to root or cheer for and my winters were not near as happy because of them... my family celebrated super bowls and success while we were in toiletbowls... so now that they are finally playing some good ball and Tua looks best ever I his career, I must give credit to McDaniels and the GM for finally mak8ng moves that give their longtime loyal fans hope and something to feel great about!!! Go PHINS
Incredible video. Thanks
I could easily see this team winning the Super Bowl.
