How many games do you think the Dolphins will win in 2024? 🤔
0 😂
@@Hela99400 they will win 14 easy.. what you don't know is how the 49ers build up.. did not happen over night
one of the most worst takes i have watched.. firstly you forget that tua had the worst pass block protection.. 31.. in the nfl.. purdy had the no 1.. even thou tua put up just the same numbers.. the thing is mike mcdaneils comes from a 49ers playbook.. meaning.. the run and block are both! very important in the scheme.. and this scheme actually takes about 3 years.. for any team to adapt
12 and then lose in the wildcard or divisional and then they will be dumb enough to pay Tua
They'll be 13-4, Tua will win league MVP, Tyreek will have 2033 yards. Devone Achane will have 27 touchdowns.
In the wild card game against the Chiefs the Dolphins were missing Javon Holland, Xavien Howard, Bradley Chubb, Jalen Phillips, Jerome Baker, and PFF's highest graded center Connor Williams.
These are not just 6 ordinary starters either, these are really good players with the stats to back it up. To say that the outcome wouldn't of been different is a uneducated observation
So? does that effect their offense? Fuck no maybe Connor Williams
Then go a step further, they were down starting left guard Wynn, edges AVG and Goode, and were literally starting edge rushers off the street. Reek and and waddle were both out playing injured. But according to this wanker injuries didn’t matter
Acts like if it wasn’t played in -23 degree weather that it wouldn’t have been closer.
Rage bait video
So they need the team to be perfect to compete? Then theyre never gonna win.
@@bhasegod5015 Somehow Mahomes delivered in the same weather. Hmm... I wonder if Tua just sucks considering he had by far the most talented offense in the game.
So basically the AFCs Cowboys
How are they equivalent?
Good regular season, playoff win drought
They do well in the regular season and then get beat in the first round of the playoffs
yup
No, the Cowboys have good team. The Dolphins are average team it their head coach got them playing outstanding. But their offensive line is not strong enough and got exposed when the go against good teams. There offensive line is one worse in league when come to pass blocking ironically.
The Dolphins are in the same situation as ever other team with a big name QB: If the team doesn't make the playoffs, blame Tua. The team makes the playoffs but lose in the wildcard, that's because Tua wasn't good enough, so blame him. If the team wins at least one playoff game, then Tua did it all by himself. Same old bullsh*t narratives.
It's the way the COACHES are talked about in the media that blows my mind. Got amazing talent on the team? You're a GENIUS coach somehow. But if a batch of good players leave, or you never had them to begin with, they run you out of town with tar and feathers, like you have suddenly become a lousy coach.
sorry buddy, but 7 points in a playoff game is absolutely on Tua☠️☠️☠️ good luck trying to defend him because you factually cannot
@Kyle-bi7df I wasn't defending Tua. I'm saying it's stupid that people like you act like the quarterback is solely responsible for how far the whole TEAM goes.
@@matthewskinner6626 they are more responsible than anybody else
@@Kyle-bi7dfwell some of it is his fault but not all of it is our OL was so banged up
The Dolphins are basically the pre Mahomes Chiefs. Great coach, good quarterback, very good roster, but none of that matters when you have to play elite quarterbacks in the playoffs.
The delusional Fan base is going to go after you with torches and pitchforks with that very accurate comment.
No, the Dolphins are literally every good team of theirs since the 80s. They get off to a flying start thanks to a high-flying offense, tons of home games, and a feather-soft schedule, then they proceed to get their asses kicked by real teams come December when it gets cold. Doesn't matter if it's Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New England, or Kansas City. This happens every time they've made the playoffs going back to the Marino Era.
nah thats obviously the niners or lions
I remnant those days…
When did Alex Smith lead the league in passing yards? Dude broke 4k yards once in his career. Tua just lead the league in passing yards in his 4th year. He's not Alex Smith. Tua will likely be a top Qb in the league for at least the next decade.
As a Dolphins fan.... yeah, I have no idea what to feel anymore...
It’s ok
😂
We’ll figure it out there’s a good chance he’s just wrong because none of us know how things are going to go
Enjoy the insanely entertaining offense that you have.....there is no offense more fun to watch during the regular season.....including the chiefs
You know how the Chargers Charger? Even back in the '80s with Dan Marino it felt like the Dolphins were one, two moves away from becoming élite & ownership wouldn't make those moves. They strike me as someone who looks at that bare fact & only thinks of how much $ they would save if their slightly weaker roster players would step up without them having to spend more $.
That's my impression. Hey, it could be worse. Cliff Kingsbury couldn't win with Mahomes, Murray or Caleb Williams, doesn't seem to have the capacity to _conceive of_ "out of structure."
The Commanders got him, then drafted Jaden Daniels. Making The Worst coaching hires possible seems to be a Commanders consistent thing no matter who owns them.
Considering the dolphins history, I don’t think this is a bad situation. As much as you want to truly contend, if they could have a high powered offense with tua and be a 11-12 win team for the next few years, and be competitive in the offs maybe win a game I think that would be a great thing for that franchise.
Yeah, considering they had the longest playoff win drought in North American sports, I think them just winning a playoff game or do them good.
way to set the bar high😂😂
idk why people count teams like this out of winning a superbowl. No one is saying they should be favorites, but people act like if you dont have a QB like Mahome or Brady, you cant win a superbowl, which is just factually wrong. Many mid tier QBs have won a superbowl in history. Shit, Nick Foles won a superbowl this century. Everyone and their mom knows that KC will be the superbowl favorites because he is the best QB, but football is more then just one player.
We all know its best to have a team thats favorited to win a superbowl like KC is each and every year, and the most important aspect of that is getting a QB like Mahomes. But QBs like that dont grow on trees. For the vast majority of teams, your better off just getting a solid QB to start and doing your best building around them every year so that you have a chance to put your team in a position to pull off that upset and win it all as opposed to blowing up your roster and coaching staff every year and living at the bottom half of the league for decades hoping to win the draft lottery. Shit, there are cases of teams winning that lottery but being so garbage that either the player doesnt want to play for them, or just wasting that players talent because the team is completely dysfunctional after decades of loosing.
Giants fan here so I have no reason to defend the dolphins but I genuinely don’t understand this take.
Is every team that’s “good” but not good enough to quite win the SB, going through the worst situation in football?So in a hypothetical sense, teams ranked 6-15 ish out of all the teams in the NFL should just jump ship because they’ll never actually beat the chiefs?
You mentioned not quite being good enough to beat 15 in red. Okay, so who is? The second and third best QBs in the league have consistently failed in the playoffs against him. So does that mean every single team should abandon their plans because they’re in the worst situation in football?
In the dolphins case, when you have a QB that’s decent and good enough to start, wouldn’t the best thing to do in terms of putting your franchise is position to win, is stack the positions around him? Which is what they have been trying to do….
I watch all of the videos and enjoy them thoroughly. But this entire video doesn’t make sense.
if chubb and phillips dont go down were not in kansas anymore is what you have to remember
Thank you. I’m not a Miami fan but I agree with you.
Woulda Shoulda Coulda bro
I mean, we were missing so many starters by the time we get to the playoffs
Exactly, and the IOL fell apart when Connor Williams went down.
Was more answering to the point he made in the video injury’s are a huge concern with our roster. I believe it stems from Griers philosophy of bringing in a lot of veterans who just simply have a lot of tear on their body combine it with bad luck like the achane injury in the beginning of the year it leads to key pieces being injured and the lack of depth being exposed, which in turn leads to losses and playing in conditions our players aren’t that used to in the playoffs. Psychological state, well being and comfort play a big part in any kind of performance on and off the field. Mike macdaniel has to establish himself and his vision through the draft and then the roster will depend less on veteran acquisitions and depth will be created.
As a dolphins fan it’s a weird spot to be in if this core doesn’t work out (win atleast 1 playoff game it’s time to blow it up)
This ridiculous. Saying the Dolphins are in the worst situation in football when the Panthers are still a team is just ignorant. Fail.
No, I think you missed the point. The panthers have no expectations, they'll get high draft picks until it's fixed, and will have a bunch of young guys. Yes it sucks, but that's where you want to be, if you are trying to rebuild. This is the best dolphins roster, since the 90's, but it's still not going anywhere, and the qb is still a question mark, the roster is getting old in key areas. It's a situation where you're too good to get much better, but not bad enough to get good draft picks. As a dolphins fan, this situation does fucking suck
Dolphins are a team expected to compete for the bowl, Carolina is not.
@@kellz513 you expect them to compete for a chip?
@@kellz513they aint competing for a bowl dawg
Did you watch the video bro?
yeah i dont think its fair to say tua is the main problem for us. tua for sure needs to improve, but he has been improving each year. fins main drawbacks are the playcalling, the crippling curse our players suffer from once it hits winter time, and the injuries.
With all respect, I don’t know my guy. I don’t know. tua isn’t it
@@jeffreypalacios511tua’s fine, he’s already proven enough for himself and the success shall follow
We just have to win a single playoff game…
No you usually have to win 4
@@taylorrobinson4909 They havent won a playoff game in like 23 years so ending the drought is everything to them
@@taylorrobinson4909 ^^^^ clearly you’re not a dolphins fan because just seeing a playoff win while I’m living and breathing on this earth would be its own fucking superbowl lmao
They beat up on bad teams but come up short against contenders. They're an AFC Dallas.
The Cowboys at least win the their division from time to time.
@@thunderpantz They wouldn't have won it for a 20-year stretch if Tom Brady and the Pats had been in their division, like they've been in the Dolphins'. Sticking up for the Cowboys is an exercise in futility.
@@Unknown17 I hear you there.
Cowboys have been doing that for way longer amd can’t be compared
Jay Fiedler was the last qb that led Dolphins to last playoff win and that was when rb Lamar Smith went off in 2000.
As a Dolphin fan, I actually believe McDaniel's play calling is what holds the offense back. He's great at designing plays, and sometimes even dials up the perfect play at the right time, but far more often than not he calls terrible 3rd and 4th down plays. We also just used a 3rd rd pick, to draft a 3rd string RB, just for McDaniel to abandon the run in the 3rd qtr... And then there's Tua... Who for every elite trait he has, he has a below average trait to go with it. Here's to hoping they both prove me wrong this year!
McDaniel is a great play designer. He can't call a game to save his life. I look at the 1st Bills game last year. They were washing them in the run game. Then inexplicably he just decides to stop running the ball. It happens all the time. He refuses to stick with the run game and just wants to pass. Everybody knows it and the good teams/coaches take advantage.
He's in alot of ways like Kyle Shanahan. Great a designing plays but sometimes abandons stuff thats already working. Also what below average trait do you see in Tua?
@@maskedman5657Average arm and mobility and terrible on game winning drives
@@Lollz97 I think people oversell his lack of arm talent. Because he was one of the best deep ball QBs last year. Also alot of those game winning drives was because of that crappy oline pass blocking.
@@maskedman5657exactly... He's clearly talented and the dolphins are always way better when he's in the game. It's just a fact
Yes the Dolphins situation is worse than it looks but teams like the Panthers, Saints, and Broncos are definitely in worse situations.
Broncos are starting a rebuild with a bunch of young pieces and a good HC don't do us like that. Pre draft I would agree but we have a future now even if some ppl like to hate on nix. Can't say that about the others.
I disagree, Panthers and Broncos have at least some hope with a young QB even if I am not high on Bryce Young. With the Saints there is one big difference I see, they CAN blow it up and also should but my point is that the Saints are in a place where if they are 2 players away from being a bottom 10 team. Dolphins are in a spot where they have had enough success that they can't rebuild but they haven't won enough to be happy. Ownership will not allow for a rebuild when Tua is having MVP numbers and Tyreek Hill is in the run for 2k yards. Even if the Dolphins fall back to a 9-8 record and lose the division to the Jets or something the core will still be around when in reality what the Dolphins need to do is give Mike a QB for him to mold while Tyreek is still good.
@@israelbarnes4704 Correction: Your HC is a straight up nut job.
@@ariejohnson1944 I think you nailed it.
I truly believe the Broncos are going to fail their already low expectations. Bo Nix is not a day one starter but he will start and struggle. They have lots of dead cap and their head coach is overrated.
That's crazy I'm not listening to this shit!
☠️☠️ keep avoiding the truth dolphins fans 😂😂
Y’all remember when dolphin fans were saying they weren’t frauds 😂 I do
Well I was one of them but Jets are Frauds
Hey let's take your favorite team. Make the 2 best WRs play hurt, remove half your offensive line, and take away 6 starters from your defense. See how well your team does for a month.
We are not the Jets are
@@CassidyJ22 lol more excuses to add to the long list. It sounds like your team is top heavy. Any smart team would add a great rotation and reliable backups, dolphins just add great talent with bag boys as backups. Don’t blame just the injuries, you have a HC that can’t adjust and QB who’s a bust. Should’ve gone for Burrow, Herbert, Love or Hurts.
@@bryangonzalez4604 ok buddy no one brought up the jets. But both the jets and dolphins are frauds
As a Broncos fan who watch Bradley Chubb for 3.5 years I don't understand why people are so high on him. He may have had double digit sacks but he only had 3 in Dolphins loses last year. It's easy to get pressure when you're blowing out a team and they have to throw the ball just about every play. Just pin your ears back and go get em.
well no shit. obvi you wont do as well in the games you lose. that's why you lose.
We got CRAZY value for Chubb when you consider burns went for a 2nd.
@israelbarnes4704 Brian was gonna be significantly more expensive I think that's why.
Well it’s not just all about sacks either. Hes disruptive like how Christian Wilkins is. Makes you throw the ball away, scramble, force bad throws etc. A lot of those things don’t show up on the stat sheet but are very important.
@slowguy_-8363 yeah I watched the guy for 3.5 years and he does nothing that you want from a 5th overall pick. You want a legit monster that high up. An Aaron Donald level game wrecker and Chubb is not that.
The next off season is gonna be really hard an important.
Tua is one of the QB with the most pressure on this season.
wait they be saying that every year why he still there and mack jones gone lol
@@user-qd8my4yy4c it's definitely very different
Ironically, Tua doesn't have a ton of pressure on him. He loses like 10M a year, if that, if the Dolphins struggle.
@@jibbjabb43 again don't go on your stats but ome in the nfl
@@jibbjabb43 do you even understand.. he has the quickest release which makes his ol look better.. imagine if you had mack jones or jimmy g.. they be sacked!
The Dolphins are morphing into the AFC's Cowboys. Beat up on bad teams, scrape by on decent teams and get exposed in the playoffs. I don't think signing OBJ is the 'big splash' it once was and I don't see him being the difference. It's the great leap from good to great that most teams fail to make before their window closes.
Losing Christian Wilkins is really going to hurt the Dolphins.
You dont lose Xavien Howard, Christian Wilkins, Jerome Baker, Andrew Van Ginkel and Vic Fangio and get better!
As a dolphins fan Tua is the reason we’re gonna get held back mostly cause he can’t make those clutch plays when the game is on the line
not true, watch the film please.
The other problem the dolphins have is their brand of football. Finesse ball doesn’t work in the January cold outside in Buffalo, KC, Cinci, Bal or Cleveland. I don’t see them winning a playoff game unless they win home field advantage.
I see a lot of parallels between Dallas and Miami. I think he made a fair comparison. I think the window for Dolphins and Cowboys greatness has now closed for some time. Miami and Dallas QB's have great stats, but it has become apparent that neither is "the man."
Yeah, it is sad but probably true. Miami once again failed to seize the opportunity to be something other than the AFC East loser. I'm pretty sure McDaniel and Grier don't have the ability to produce a really elite team but hope they prove me wrong.
how do you say they’re in the worse situation when the broncos panthers browns giants cowboys & saints all exist
cowboys only bad because of dak contract, dolphins bad because they don't have a qb
I love your content so much bro, keep it up
I really hate saying this because I am a Dolphins fan, however, I feel that Dolphins are quite stuck between a rock and a very hard place. They have an elite WR1-WR2 combo in Tyreek and Waddle, a QB that could be a franchise cornerstone but also has some injury concerns, a superstar CB and an elite OT that is getting up there in age, that will take up a massive portion of their player payroll, leaving them without much to pay many of the other players on their team. They also have limited draft capital, leaving them unable to properly restock their team when potential free agents leave in the offseason. The Dolphins had done well at the beginning of the season in 2022 and 2023 under McDaniel, but also stumble towards the end of the season and wound up getting eliminated in the Wild Card round. If they don't make some noise in the playoffs and win a playoff game in 2024-2025, McDaniel could be out in Miami. And, if they start out the season 0-4 or 1-3, I could see McDaniel and, maybe even, Grier getting fired midseason. Once again, I really hate saying this because I am a Dolphins fan, but I agree the Dolphins are currently in an impossible situation.
we’ll be fine, don’t worry so much
Skyler Thompson did decent in the wildcard season and I think fins can get a Cooper rush or mid qb for cheap and beef up the team amd get as far as with tua
skylar thomposon was actually the reason we lost, our defense and guaranteed josh allen turnovers are actually what kept us in that game. skylar couldn’t drive the ball down the field safely or without getting sacked and was getting lucky field positions to work with for most of the time. if we had tua in that game, even with our shitty oline we would’ve won.
saying it wouldnt change if we had our pass rush is asinine because we’d get more possession ppl forget how close the game in germany was on top of the fact the offenses were equal
Dolphins would look way better if they drafted Herbert instead of Tua
Flores getting ousted for wanting Hebert lol
You mean the guy who has a losing record and consistently chokes in the 4th quarter, nah, we are better off with Tua.
@@jackberling8060 Herbert the QB with the most game winning drives since 2020
@@AscendAR Kirk Cousins has more and Ryann Tannehill has the same amount while he was the starter at Tennessee. You also have to remember, LAC has passed the ball more than any other team in the league the past 4 years. It was a very wide margin, so of course they would have more GWD by passing. Most of that has been done off of short passes. His CAY/PA is one of the lowest in the league. You know who has the highest the past two seasons, Tua Tagovialoa.
Its crazy how fast people flip on young QBs (not saying thats what this video doing )
Where you been? All of these concerns about Tua were brought up during his college days and coming into the draft.
@@adamant5550 I said in general also it was mostly about his arm strength which for the most part he's been schemed up to his strength not his weakness
It’s not crazy, and Tua isn’t even a young QB, he’s been in the NFL for 4 years and we’ve already seen his ceiling, QB is the most important position in football, you either got it or you don’t, and Tua does not have what it takes to be an elite QB
@@user-im8dh9ql2h Right but that scheme has limitations as was clearly seen when they played elite defenses like KC, BUF, and BAL
As a dolphins fan, I've been thinking this very thing, if tua can't be him, it's time to move on, i don't think we can trade for the answer unfortunately though. Might have to blow it up, if post season success is the goal
3rd best team in the AFC East
It's pretty hard to sugar coat last year's success. On paper, 11-6 sounds decent but let's not forget that they completely botched the last quarter of the season + choked the division title, choked beating any real teams and choked the playoffs. Making the playoffs is better than not, but face it - 25% of teams make the playoffs. Winning one is a now quarter century target that Miami seems incapable of achieving. I have pretty low expectations for Miami and am now at a point where I simply don't want to watch the team any further. With their schedule this year, I can see them easily ending up with 7 or 8 wins total and near the bottom of AFC East. The team is going to have to learn to seize opportunities like last year, it is simply not a franchise with a winning attitude or approach.
I love the vids and I was wondering if you make a vid of who you think the top ten teams will be in the next 5 years. Talking about teams situation just kind off fascinates me, and I would like to see the way you view teams 5 years from now.
They got wrecked by the injury gods last year. It may not have affected the KC game as you say but it certainly affected the end of the regular season and cost them the division.
Dunno. Bills were missing half their defense in that last game and still couldn't beat them.
Miami beats up on lesser teams, teams that have a winning record they lose to. If the weather is below 40 Tua can't play at least play well. Welcome to Miami.
Kinda have to disagree on this take. I understand this team has struggled in big games, but that's a team thing, not just Tua Tagovailoa. His stats the last few years have been amazing. And he's hard working, and accurate. He struggled a lot under pressure, and I wouldn't even be surprised if some of that is mental, because he wants to avoid injuries. If the offense is able to improvise a bit more, and Tua can make more off the cuff plays, they can compete, people forget, they beat the Ravens, Bills (almost twice), and lions in 2022 not to mention the Cowboys, and a good Jets defense in 23. And they probably could have won more if Tua stayed healthy, also, Tua has a good enough arm to compete in the conference. I don't necessarily think just because he doesn't have the arm of Justin Herbert, or Josh Allen, He'll limit the team. Some of his best plays have been on go balls. So could he be better, yes, but this is not a terrible situation. They have a good enough roster to stack up, and fend off their rivals. Also. When you have a team, that can be that dominant against lesser teams, it tells me your good. The Herbert led Chargers, Hurts led Eagles, and Jackson led Ravens have also come up short in big games at times as well. And I'm sure one would agree those games do not tell the full story of these men's talent. So all I'm saying is if we're going to rightfully defend Herbert from the Chargers blunders hate, or Hurts from the collapsing Eagles hate. It's only fair to do the same for Tua. Particularly with all the success they've had. By the way, this is coming a Bills fan and I love Josh Allen. So I'm not even a big dolphins guy. Just saying.
Exactly right. Tua has improved year in year out and works his ass off to be better. He was performing at an MVP level until we lost almost our entire oline to injuries. People love the narrative that we couldn't beat teams with winning records, but we were battling major injuries in all of those games. Show me a team that can compete with the Bills and Chiefs with their entire pass rush out injured.
Giants fan here so I have no reason to defend the dolphins but I genuinely don’t understand his take either

Tua is the biggest issue in Miami cuz he can’t produce once his first read is taken away and he sucks under pressure. Hes an average QB at best, the new Andy Dalton. He’s a QB who can only be good in a defined read, rpo system. As soon as he needs to make a play, he can’t do it. Combine that with a team that can’t run the ball when it matters and can’t play defense when it matters either. As a Bills fan, I hope the dolphins keep doing what they’re doing.
as a bills fan, you’re entirely wrong and blinded by misconception. it’s never been “tua can’t go past his first read” it’s tua can literally only get to his first read. because 6 times out of 10, it’s there, it’s open, and it gains yards. and whenever he doesn’t, he’s either about to get sacked, his wrs aren’t open/running the right route/drop the ball, or he sees a different route opening up for better potential. tua has bever been the problem in miami, it’s football fans like you dictating all he can do and his “limitations” like every other quarterback in the nfl is perfect. people just refuse to see things as they really are

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing like what?
@@angeloncodm7477 bro right?! Upvote my comment so it gets more exposure 😂
Tua might not be an elite quarterback, but I feel like he’s good enough to win if the rest of the team shows up and doesn’t get injured. Injuries and play calling is the real issue
Well, don't count on "Ow, I'm hurt again" Odell to help you!
game managers don’t win super bowls
Just don’t pay him over 40m period
Biggest problem with Miami isn't Tua though he does seem to vanish in big games....bigggest problem is that Miami is just not rough enough, especially on Defense. They get pushed all down the field, then somebody gets a PI and it's first and goal LOL.....hopefully Weaver changes some of this...
I don't think the Dolphins can avoid paying Tua and having him be their long term answer at QB, mainly because I don't think a better option is walking through that door and by the time a young QB got up to speed Tyreek wouldn't be the threat that he currently is. That said, another issue with Tua is his performance in cold weather games. 32-13 in games above 45 degrees, 0-6 when the temperature peaks below 45 degrees. This matters because unless they can get home field throughout the playoffs, they are probably going to have to travel to KC, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Baltimore, or Pittsburgh in January.
The dolphins are in a bad situation but other teams have it far worse. The broncos have no roster, the saints had a underrated draft but are otherwise in a terrible spot, the panthers are building around Bryce Young in the hope that he becomes what was advertised, the pats have literally nothing, and the list goes on. You cant be in that terrible of a situation with the best receiver duo, a solid qb, your running backs of the future and a hc from the Shanahan tree.
McDaniels is a high school coach, college at best( just watch in season hard knocks) tua is a future backup. He cost his receivers yards and touchdowns with his under throws. Unless bills and jets lose their QB Miami is going to be third in their own conference, second if they can overcome their schedule.
Drake Maye will struggle at first. He may not even start. But he’s gonna own this division. Maybe not Super Bowl contenders but the AFC east will be Maye’s
Dolphins are the same level of intimidating that the Kirk era Vikings were.
There was a line of thought out there, which I agreed with, that Dolphins should have traded Tua to a QB needy team like the Raiders or Vikings and reset the QB salary clock. They are already a very top heavy team and once Tua’s extension comes, that will make things even more top heavy. Outside of Kyle Shannahan, you probably trust Mike McDaniel the most to draft and develop a young QB.
you cant mention that titans game without mentioning the fact that they loss their starting Center who was probably the most important piece of their offensive line... and guess what... connor williams was out for all of those key games vs top teams, and their backup was the worst center in the league... the fact that you dont even mention how bad that offensive line was after their injuries means you don't know what youre talking about at all...
I guess the coach that the Dolphins fired because he didn’t care for Tua might’ve been right after all.
I’ve never seen a pro football team look so cold and so not wanting to be out there as the Dolphins in that playoff game. Those boys wanted nothing to do with that weather.
i mean it was literally one of the coldest nfl playoff game in history, - everything, don’t no one want to be in that weather so you can’t pit it against them 😭
@@thelaseringtrespiker4006 U wrong...Not even close to coldest in NFL history
@@deppsterdeppe725 oh my mistake, didn’t know the legitimate coldest game in arrowhead stadium and for the KC Chiefs all time didn’t qualify as one of their coldest games in history… 🤦♂️
And they have no one to blame but themselves. It was completely in their control to win the division and not go to KC but the super offense suddenly couldn't even beat the lowly Titan team. Tua really lost me in the last part of the season, he did not show the spirit of someone who leads a team to the superbowl.
@@thelaseringtrespiker4006 Hell yeah I can. The other 54 guys they were playing against, were ready to be on the field and make tackles and put their heads down and make the plays that needed to be made.
Baby Tua and the midget Fish are going no where fast. At least they're entertaining.
They smell like yesterday's fish.
FINALLY 🎉 …A realistic Dolphins 🐬 take … U just earned a follower 💪🏽💪🏽
When you cant beat a good team...your not a good team.😮😮😮
Love your video but I disagree as healthy Miami is MORE talented than many of the teams in AFC.
Tua has not been the issue that hurt this team in the last two season. It's been injuries. 22 players have been hurt at one time or another at the end of the season the last two years. No team with a roster of 53 is surviving with 20+ of those players hurt.
Dolphins beat every team below 500 and lost to pretty much every team 500. That is as consistent as you can get. Maybe the team overall just isn’t that good. The team is top heavy and gets carried and that only works against bad teams.
OBJ is a huge upgrade over our previous WR3, which was a mix of Braxton Berrios or Cedrick Wilson.
Thanks!
I love your videos bro but it is clinically insane to say if the dolphins have no injuries this year they still couldn't win the super bowl. Like there isn't even a chance? We just won 11 games last season while being the most impacted by injuries. The dolphins had their entire starting line healthy for ONE game the whole season. Take a guess which game that was...
What I think needs to improve the most from last season is, Mike McDaniel's play calling in certain scenarios was just horrible. So many outside fades in the redzone, not running the ball nearly enough with those weapons at RB. And Tua does seem to shrink in big games but he has also won big games against good teams.
Also might get flamed for this but i just need to say it: The Tyreek "fumble" in the first KC game was completely BS and stopped us from tying it up right before half time. There was zero forward progress and he didn't have possession of the ball for even a quarter of a second.
Hate to burst your bubble, but if you think Odell is going the whole year without an injury, you're living in Munchkin Land.
The whole division really had a very interesting draft all four drafted good wide receivers and running back somewhat and defense players
The Miami Dolphins are the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NFL. They haven't won a championship since Richard Nixon was president, they both are really good in the regular season and have a high caliber offense, but they choke once they make the postseason and they haven't won anything in the playoffs for over two decades. Same storyline, different sports, different teams.
Trust me, as a Dolphins fan, this team makes me turn into Steve Dangle at times
He's kind of ignoring all the free agent signings. Shaq Barrett, Jordan Poyer, Jordyn Brooks, Anthony Walker Jr., Dashawn Hand, Kendall Fuller. The issue last year was not the offense. When healthy we were the most dominate offense in the league. The issue was still the defense last year. Sure we sucked in the KC game but that game was so cold Mahomes helmet shattered. If Miami had the won the division - had Fangio not shit the bed against Tennessee - Miami would have won its first playoff game in 20 years, even with the multitude of injuries. It's a new season, so who knows what will happen. We had a very strong offseason, and I'm excited to see the team play.
Down 3 starting OL, best 3 pass rushers, CB2, starting S Holland. So trenches decimated and other high quality starters injured. Not much you can really do about that, playoffs come down to which team is the healthiest in the end
They're going nowhere serious with such a mid QB
You like the Aaron Brewer signing? Even the Titans didn't want him lol
He’s completely ass
Our OL got devastated with injuries and as I said in my below post when our young stud DE went out with an achilleas our defense became unable to stop good teams. Unfortunately our top but oft injured OL players have either left the team or are still here and still injury prone and I don't know if Phillips will be back at 100% or not. Chubb played very good for a couple games when Phillips was lost but he's not going to create problems for the big strong top teams.
Can't you say the same about most teams who have good rosters and mediocre QBs !??
Nevermind that, Alienface! I want to know when the mothership is gonna land on the White House lawn. I'm getting old, and I'm almost out of time and patience. And bring some RC Cola.
No because the dolphins are about to be locked in with Tua for the next 4 years when they unfortunately pay him
Tua is an amazing human being. But he ain't leading our Phins to an AFC Championship game much less a Super Bowl
I don’t think McDaniel is as great as some think. He’s failed to not only win but even compete in games against playoff teams repeatedly, in spite of having the best home field advantage in the league. I think it’s been 2 wins against playoff teams in 2 years? That roster can certainly do better
OBJ is going to have a big game week 2-5 (somewhere in that range) as a 3rd option in a weapon-heavy offense to remind people he i still NFL level fora reason, which may be just enough to open up some coverages overall, but I don't see him getting over 800 yards and maybe 9 tds (with a lot of redzone slants) without injuries and creative game planning being the main contributors
Rally around #3 and he will show you he’s a star. Trust me I SEENT IT 💍. He very well could’ve been Super Bowl MVP if he didn’t get hurt
@@RamsHouse99 exactly. his years of being a top 10-20 receiver may be behind him, but he's still a great route runner who commands defensive respect.
@RamsHouse99 The problem isn't the talent. It's his health. He gets dinged up constantly.
@@tylergarrett8066 constant injury and age gonna make any wr lose a step
We don't need him to be anything but a solid 3rd option to open things up for Hill and Waddle. If he gets hurt, we're back to Berrios. Its a low risk high reward signinh
9:55 OBJ was always a little overhyped in my opinion. I’m not saying his first three seasons were a fluke, but he was never really a top tier receiver in my opinion.
He was always more celebrity than athlete
Well, last year when he was in Baltimore, his maturity and leadership were a major asset for the Ravens. But from how I see it, he's no longer a Raven because he wants to be in Miami so he can hang out with celebrities any chance he gets.
That Tua extension will be something to watch.
Over half the league would happily trade rosters with the dolphins.
You think the dolphins are in a worse spot than the saints? Panthers? Broncos?… nuts
As a Pats fan I’m expecting them to win the division regardless. I don’t like their coach but he’s good and everyone else in the division is hyper vulnerable. They honestly just need to learn how to play in cold weather and they could make a Super Bowl.
I was watching an interesting video the other day talking about the drop in production for QBs and it has me thinking that Miami is stuck in the past.
More or less, the idea was that with Mahomes emerging as the QB superstar he was around 2020 and other QBs like Josh Allen pushing the ball down field more and more, the entire NFL started shifting defensive strategy to deal with big play offenses. And you instantly saw Mahomes and Josh Allen's play style shift to more underneath plays and fewer over the top plays. At the same time, you have Miami. Who has now built seemingly their entire offense around the home run play. And while that can still lead to a lot of success, once you hit the cream of the crop defenses of January, they start shutting that play style down. And you NEED to have a plan B
Dude, we had no center. We fell apart when Connor Williams went down because all we had to cover for him was Liam eichenberg. We literally went from one of the best blocking centers in the league to the literal worst. We finished with the worst time before pressure and the second worst pass block win rate. Go check the numbers, every game we lost, Connor Williams either didn't start or didn't finish. He went down twice last season. Our problem, as always, is blocking. Fins up, do better research.
I kinda disagree about the effect of losing Jalen Phillips...I've watched the Dolphins closely since Shula's first press conference and Jalen, to my eyes, was the only player we had on defense who could be a game changer against the good teams. When he left with the Achilles injury our defense against the good teams was helpless to stop them....he was that important.
having their interior offensive line healthy wouldve changed things... we're talking about the worst offensive line in the league after losing their interior... the last game the dolphins had their full strength offensive line was the Denver game!!!!
I find it crazy that in almost every AFC team analysis, there's some frustration with the team not because they are bad or inconsistent, but because they are never good enough to beat the Chiefs. That's how dominant they are. Enjoy this time while you can Chiefs fans. You're eating good for a while.
Then there’s the bengals
This team is essentially the Kingsbury era that ARZ had. Failing upwards, starting hot and declining down down the stretch. Their offensive highs are very high but the lows are very low, basically ranking their offense as more of a middle of the road unit, top 20 at its worst, barely cracking the top 10 at its best. If they solve the offensive issues, they'll be contenders, a lot of folks tend to forget they've had a top 10 defense both years McDaniels has been there.
The Dolphins are the AFC Cowboys
Still a much better situation than my New England Patriots.
Playing in the AFC against 7 of the top 10 QBs is a monstrous challenge for Miami to become a post-season contender. They're stuck where all decent teams led by a good-but-not-great QB are: wild card exit. Besides, McDaniel HAS to develop a top-tier defense. That will be his second key to playoffs success. There are no weak defenses in the conference games.
That trope will be broken this year by a team in the afc
I honestly dont know what you do about tua. Hes good enough to win a lot of games, but i just dont think hes good enough to ever make the sb without a lot of luck.
Dolphins are definitely not in the worst position. Our defense got a lot better but it still needs a lot of work. Although we lost some of our good players I think it was necessary. We kept on acting like we were going somewhere with them. If we were it would have already happened. My theory is you can put all the best players together but if they don’t sync together the team ain’t going anywhere. Different is better sometimes. And we had to get rid of fangio because he was not utilizing the players the right way it was not that he wasn’t a good coach but it wasn’t what the dolphins thought they were looking for. We have also switched some of our coaches that were specialized for specific positions we found new ones
11:37 Hill would cross the LoS at 18mph. That sounds a little unbelievable…holy sh*t
Hopefully they can stop giving up over 4 to 500 yards a games against Buffalo and Baltimore religiously
Tua will prove people wrong. Dudes been literally in the league for 4 years lol. Miami fans are the worst. Tua’s first year he was hated by his coach. Got rbs and wrs and look at him now. Chill tf out lol Not everyone makes it to the Super Bowl right away. Look at all top qbs, Allen, Lamar, Herbert, and more. Tua gets all the hate, even if he takes his team to Super Bowl people would still say he’s trash 😂
That is a bit of a hot take. Lots of teams have way worse QBs. Lots of teams will suck a lot less.
I think they could get it together. I think if they can get some home field games in the playoff or get better on defense: they might be okay.
Tua doesnt feel like the problem.
Worst situation in football is crazy
I could see the Dolphins do a trade for someone like Matthew Stafford. Be a good trade for both teams.
The dolphins were coached by Dave Wannstedt in 2000
The thing about the Odell signing is he has become a monster run blocker, and a solid third, he’s def a piece to the puzzle that brings them closer to a championship team, coming from a lions fan
I'd be willing to bet you ten grand he gets hurt by game nine.
@@Unknown17he’s 32 and 3 years off an acl,no shit he’s gonna get injured again,that’s why he’s our 3rd wr not our #1
@@Bleakmidwntr850 Oh! NOW it makes sense. They're buying a toy you agree will be useless very soon, rather than one that will last the whole season. Sorry, it makes perfect sense now that you've explained it.
Miami to me are like the Cowboys of the AFC, with a significantly worse defense, and with the caveat that the AFC is a considerably more competitive conference. Both Dak and Tua are intelligent and efficient QBs, who can put up great production when surrounded with elite weapons, but both are athletically unimpressive and both have proven, time and time again, that they LACK A CLUTCH GENE! Both teams will have good records each year, assuming good health, but both will almost assuredly underperform in the playoffs. I honestly think, if I’m either team, I extend my QB, trade up for the QB I like in next year’s draft, and treat Tua and Dak as bridge QBs/mentors to the rookies. If the rookies don’t pan out in 2-3 years, you still have guys you can remain competitive/keep your jobs with, and if the rookies do, you have your franchise QB and can trade Tua/Dak to QB needy teams for significant capital and then use those picks to build around your franchise guy.
This team will look much the same as last year's team . They will win most of the games it should win and will lack physicality against some of the better teams all the same I still see them winning 11- games and making the playoffs . No point in hitting the panic button . especially before the season
More Tua hate, sigh
Are we just supposed to completely ignore his inconsistency? He's awful for at least like 6 games every year. he's way too reliant on his supporting cast
@@israelbarnes4704 "he's way too reliant on his supporting cast" He is a QB, his job is to rely on his players and give them the ball. jesus fking christ!
@@darthsadicso he is a game manager and not a playmaker? Thanks for clearing that up
@@Kyle-bi7dfhe’s right you’re a clown
@@Kyle-bi7df y’all really made game manager such a bad term. Shoot the goat QB was an elite game manager for so many years. Not every QB is gonna make players from the gym look elite lol
Dolphins just need to control offensive and defensive lines and stay healthy, but the O-line is mediocre and the D-line just lost it's best player. That said, they also just had a very good draft and a very good free agency period, and if the defense holds up they can beat these teams, just need health and defense really. A lot of this stuff talked about in this video.....I don't think it even matters.
The problem to me boils down to a few things. 1. For Mike McDaniel, he need to take the step and Sean McVay, to go from a offensive prodigy to an experienced coach who can adjust quickly in-game and save up plays for when things matters (i.e. crucial moments in playoffs). 2. For Tua, he cannot be the guy who hold the team back. He had to elevate the team, make people wrong and make plays with whatever means he see fits. So many times, I see him struggles when he has to double clutch or when defense take away his first read. He either just overthrew, leading to interceptions or eat a sack. He has to be an elite QB (not just put up elite number, but to bail the team out on game winning drives and win with improvised plays, at least a few of them etc.) this year or he would be the Alex Smith of whoever will be the Patrick Mahomes. 3. Supporting cast would also be the key, their defense and Oline in particular was less that stellar, due to injuries and whatever reason. Tua is a QB who would need great team to win unless proven otherwise.
I agree with all of this, so it must be right. (No, not sarcasm.)
McVay _just hired_ an assistant to help him because he's self-aware enough to admit he has this problem. However, one's mind seizing up like that in the clutch is the norm & _SO_ many other coaches need that. McCarthy & McDermott are two of The Worst clutch play-callers.
Yes, Tua _is_ limited. I don't know if he gets bored doing the same old or if the team & coaching can't sustain momentum &/or innovate late in seasons but the Dolphins _really_ fall apart & Tua can't seem to adjust when things do.
Bro i wish i could tag my friends down here cuz i was literally saying in the middle of last season. The dolphins long term future is frightening cuz you’re gonna have to pay a guy that can’t win big games and once you pay a QB big money. We all know what start happening to the roster. lol pls dolphins give tua that 50 mil
