Film Breakdown: Tua & the Miami Dolphins Offense COLLAPSED vs the Texans

[@scotty9776]

Ryder in a world filled with pretty much only opinionists now, you are truly an excellent analyst. This was an incredible review. Level headed, fair and thorough. Thank you for you time

[@rydermcconville]

Thanks Scotty appreciate that! Tried to be very fair from what I saw and expect more but not be over reactionary.

[@dondajulah4168]

You nailed it with the offense being so dependent on precision and anticipation leaving zero room for error. The Texans were using their own anticipartory skills to combat our offense. Where were the double moves to counter this? Even Trent Green was talking about this on the broadcast and we never went to that. How could we not be prepared for this defensive scheme? Didnt Baltimore deploy the same concept last year when we got trounced?

[@darbs7796]

Great analysis!

[@milton1448]

Any QB that gives up 4 turnovers in a game will get the blame. And deservingly so.

[@iafigueroa91]

And you're still football incompetent

[@popcornblast5348]

@@iafigueroa91he’s right & wrong. Tua was bad yesterday but he was bad because the team (OFFENSE) is bad. It’s all jabs but no weave and counters. They get knocked out the moment someone punches back

[@iponce2]

Tua usually plays well, but this team is so incomplete there's only so much he alone can do. And if Tua's having a bad game, the rest of the team is doomed. Goff had 5 ints, but they still clawed out a win

[@milton1448]

@@iponce2 Your opinion of Tua "usually plays well" is just that. Your opinion. Too bad he can't play the pats and jests every week. Then, you may be onto something

[@rydermcconville]

I think it depends on the context of the turnovers. I've seen QB's have 4 turnover days before and 3 were because of teammates mistakes. But yesterday Tua for sure deserves plenty of blame but so does everyone else on offense

[@drewstar412]

Thanks Ryder for this. Even with Tua having a bad game, still, he drives the offense into winning. I want to say, before the 2nd INT, the Fins were very well much into it. Had he got a TD on the drive, I believe there was still time left. Momentum can shift on a dime. And still..yet again...the Guards spots. Those penalties. Fins could not get out of their own way.

[@reggiepathak9684]

hill got bumped on the first one adn ran ot the wrong spot. On the 2nd int hill lost his balance.

[@roguebossa]

Poor offensive line leads to timid and predictable playcalling, disgusting

[@legend1849]

On the interceptions the pocket was clean

[@brandonseibold4254]

Can't block and we only get 1 yard at best on run plays if not a loss. It's a damn joke. I swear I hate this team. It's been going on for too long. No more excuses. They just suck and have for a long time 😡

[@davidjoseph9314]

Grier and McDaniel need to go everyone know you need a good Oline to be successful except for these two morons.

[@drewstar412]

Grier, yes. McDaniel, he should be on thin ice. If he don't prioritize the Oline, this year (something he should have done via the draft, because they tried to do it via free agency), then needs a GM who have a better draft strategy than Grier's..especially with the Oline. There is ZERO excuse why this Oline should not have a bona fide starting spot on the Oline with some quality depth. The only leadway I give, is that Coach McDaniel got Coach Barry a year to late. I'd like to see what Coach Barry could do with an Oline heavy draft...another Either Two Tackles, or a tackle and Guard, or one of those and a center. We do have Meyer, so that is hopefully he develops into a solid Center.

[@theodoresmith5272]

Nope. You need a mobile qb who can make plays in pressure situations. Every defense is bringing heat. Elite qbs extend plays and make good things happen. Tua got picked on 3, should have been 4, plays he wasn't under pressure. Plus the fumble. He can't win a big game. He can't win in the cold. He can't put up points with a loaded skill player offense. Allen put up 50 with a skill player group many laughed at compared to the dolphins.

[@theodoresmith5272]

@drewstar412 why? Mclovin is right. All the coaches before him were right. Tye best thing you can do with tua is get the ball out quickly. It is why every coach has featured screen passes. The longer he holds the ball, the worse he is statistically. He is a spot thrower. Why waste the money and draft picks on players that won't fit what the qb does? You want them to block for 2 seconds. It's more important the guys get open in 2 seconds.

[@limetreelt0384]

2 minutes into this video and i can see the officiating is horrific.

[@scotty9776]

This particular crew is known for bad calls. We knew going in it was going to be ugly in that regards

[@bruce_leroy1701]

texans obviously scouted what the dolphins wanted to do in the passing game, they were jumping routes all game and yet I did not notice any adjustment from McDaniel in his playcalling as the game went on. It is a common theme of the McDaniel era where a good defense too easily disrupts what we want to do on offense with no ability to adjust our approach

[@popcornblast5348]

Tua has to step up and just launch on that last deep ball, too many times he hits backfoot and just all arms it. Hes not Josh Allen and he's gotta realize when to step up and get his torque into it

[@drewstar412]

I'd agree but 1) these guard can't block long enough for the Hill and Waddle to get down field...2) Hill is battling a wrist injury of some sort, and Waddle is banged up that he can't get open fast enough...3) add that defenses will scheme for this, if they can. All starts with the Oline.

[@trich103]

OBJ quits on the team, which is significant bc Waddle gets hurt early in the game, which is significant bc Waddle's backup gets hurt soon afterward. Welp bck to 2023, lets force feed Reek.

[@rustycowell7264]

I'm not disappointed. Seen this record coming during the off season moves. I only gave them 9 wins at best. Turns out i was wrong by a mile 7-10 record. Mcdaniels hasn't learned how to coach yet and after 3yrs he may never learn how to prepare

[@justbrian_47]

he played so bad and it wasn't even cold lol

[@dondajulah4168]

We used to have a big receiver but he is playing for the Billls now.

[@zacharyharkness8780]

Remember How Tua was using Parker. HILL is not BIG TARGET. We have Waddle trade HILL!!

[@dondajulah4168]

@@zacharyharkness8780 Tua did not use Parkers size the way Fitzpatrick did. Mostly for lazy slants.

[@dundeedolphin]

Good brrakdown Ryder. Thanks. You can, as you say, win in the NFL with "'good' QB play. But I think it is now inescapable that it is not sustainable to shape the entire offense around masking his weaknesses. We either learn and evolve or we.double down. Hopefully the former. Let's see.👍🏻

[@Noeau]

Ryder, I wish you would just dedicate breakdowns on OL play as it would really bring attention to why the Phins don’t have success. It would clearly show the failures of the pass blocking that causes plays to fail. Also would show why the running game fails. Everything hinges on OL play and bringing attention to those fails would better explain why the other parts, passing and running game fails. Then more people would realize more that it’s really the OL not giving the QB and others the chance to succeed.

[@aplask105]

Great content Ryder - would love for you to call out where McD and coaching were exposed throughout. You mentioned 5th string tackle in and every clip he seemed to be on an island vs an elite rusher. As bad as Tua / Reek were, offensive scheme did nothing to overcome injuries; pure hubris.

[@rydermcconville]

Yeah, I think McDaniel's biggest problem was not making adjustments to the inverted Tampa 2 that the Texans were playing.

[@justbrian_47]

please get rid of Liam im tired of watching the guy getting blown up every time. Liam playing is really why my opinion of Mikey is so low

[@dave34573]

14:42...Hill and Craycraft run the same route..😂 What kind of play calling is that...U can some of the problem with the offense there...TUA offscripts for the TD..Noone open....but the play calling for HILL who is your #1 receiver on 4th down..is atrocious...

[@brandonseibold4254]

I hate that we do motion on every play. It's so obvious when we are going to snap the ball. It doesn't put the d line on edge at all

[@rydermcconville]

I think the motioning is fine to an extent but they need to mix it up and do less pre snap stuff especially on the road.

[@dustingodin5323]

The motion isn't to put pressure on the DL. It's to avoid press and create match ups while helping identify man vs zone. Ill give you, that it does tip our hand on snap count though

[@Denimstar.]

I still stand by Tua, fire Chris Grier. Fix the O-line and allow him just a bit more time to process, and his production will significantly increase 100%.

[@joefried6604]

NFL TOOK away our deep pass game We need a Dominant RUN Game . PERIOD . Roster ? We need elite guards & depth O-line The new elite run game opens up the deep pass game ! PERIOD ( & vice versa) NFL figured us out with cover 2 deep zone … with the elite run game they must crowd the BOX… This takes away over 2 deep zone and vice versa ------------- SIGN ELITE Guard Draft ELITE Guard PRRIOD Patrick Paul will be needed to spell Armstead & Jackson SPOT ON - TUA should not have to play this quick pass game every rep . We were forced to play with 3rd string Right tackle and back up guards Patrick Paul is a Rookie We showed up with 1 legit starter .. Brewer at Center WE can not …beat great teams away with a fake O- line ………. THIs is on GRIER and HC … They thought they could get away with it . They guessed wrong again !!! YES we need a BIG WR who does not get hurt ! We need a good in Line TE ------------------ That aside … WE are soft …. GRIER & HC very soft … The Team is rolling their eyes when Mike does his speeches . LOOK at the good teams ….. the HC’s are NOT soft . I don’t trust Grier & Mike ‘s judgment In terms of personal . FIND the PRO scout who found ACHane , Washington , and even Wright …. that scout should be GM . ( I know it was not Mike ) The revamped O- line will give TUA the time he needs. .. TUA should not be operating at a frenzied pace all the time .. The Team makes many mistakes working in that mind space .. ex … Penalties…. Not getting plays in … TUA PICKS …. NOT his fault …. TUA expected to perform miracles each okay … Most of the time 6 guys are covering 3 receivers…. That will change with ELITE O- LINE . Grier and Mike should be fired thinking they could get away with a bad O- line and NO back up qb .. THIS cost us the 2024 season . The personal changes need to be on the O- line --------------------- We have a legit back up QB … another reason to fire Grier / Mike -------------------- Defense ? We can’t have it all We can live with a middle of the ROAD defense You know how the NY Giants beat the Patriots in 2007/ 2012 ? 3 headed pass rush monster who stayed healthy Great Pass RUSH hides many worts on defense . CHOP coming back JP/ Chubb coming back ( we know 1 of them will go down ) DOLPHINS Need 2 more PASS RUSHERS ……. Must be GOOD Sieller & Calias are elite ! Talking about edge rushers !!! They won’t GIVE opposing Qb’s time .. ( pretty much what happens with TUA vs good teams ) We can get away with mediocre DB’s with a great pass rush monster who! -------------- Summary 2 elite guards 1 durable BIG WR 1 in line TE 2 more pass rushers That’s simple

Feel like tua was forcing throws to tyreek

[@happyevelyn]

Is it time for Dolphins to make a change? No let them continue to stink!

[@dave34573]

Tua's 2nd INT...Look when TUA throws the ball...Stingley is trailing and not even looking back and Hill has him beat by half a yard..Hill is supposed to make a hard cut at the 10 instead he rounds out his cut...Just like Chase Claypool in the Buffalo game he rounds out his cut instead of a hard cut.....That is not a bad throw by TUA...That is on Tyreke and this is where a big bodied WR would come in handy... This is where the all 22 shows the real picture..The live game looks like TUA makes a horrible throw but when u see when he releases the ball and where Hill and Stingley are...Hard to argue it a bad throw.... Even the 1st INT...TUA throws with anticipation...and that happens sometimes and Hill sort of got bumped off his route...Its one thing if TUA is getting fooled...But u can live with these type of INT's...Even the almost INT on the Jonu pass..If Jonu cuts in more on his route..he hits him perfectly..but Jonuy straightens his route out.. TUAs 3rd INT...Hill's momentum catches that 90% of the time with 2 hands on the ball

Trade Tua for a 4th or a 5th

[@rydermcconville]

Why would they do that?

[@JonathanMiamii]

@ bro start over and draft a franchise QB who can go toe to toe with Josh Allen every year

[@tay8259]

Tua isn't elite, but he's the best we've had in 25 yrs and a top 15 NFL QB. Goff is a perfect example of why you don't give up on a good young Qb. They have legit Chip aspirations in Detroit. ​@JonathanMiamii

[@rydermcconville]

@ If that’s possible sure but that happening is very unlikely do to this upcoming draft class

[@drewstar412]

Funny part about it is, that Tua can go toe to toe with Josh Allen. The main problem is that Tua does not nearly have a good supporting cast that Allen has had in Buffalo. Put Tua with the Bills, and he'd carve up teams, like we seen Tua do in flashes.

[@Malky-i5l]

I think you should look at film at Carmen cuz he did not play bad at all versus the Texans elite front Paul played very good unexpected

[@rydermcconville]

I think Paul played solid. I watched Carman and personally thought he was really bad. But I'm not mad at him he was put in a tough spot and it was expected.

[@scotty9776]

Carman had a very bad game. But I can't fault the guy. He's an project OG that we put in as a starting OT .... thanks Grier ugh

[@justbrian_47]

red zone turnovers all on tua this guy hurt his team big time. i honestly think McDaniel and Grier need to go we have went as far as they can take us. We need new people making the decisions and obviously stuck with tua. imo we should just sit Tua and most of the starters and get a high draft pick. It's sad another year without a playoff win. It's sad af being a phins fan. But im over Grier and Mike they need to get shown the door

[@BSConservativeGOAT]

He showed us all who he is...Tua has to go

[@1ZZ1_1ZZ1]

I agree, but this problem is bigger than Tua.

[@avihoffman8543]

Tua can’t make the big time throws vs 500 about teams, but yeah Tyreek the back to back 1,700 yard WR, the main reason the dolphins won one of there first 5 games of the season vs Jags it’s his fault lol. Tua isn’t that guy he lost his deep ball touch and it’s not fair to waddle or Tyreek

[@rydermcconville]

Your logic makes no sense. You say the back to back 1,700 yard receiver can't be at fault. By that logic the QB that led the league in passing yards last year and the one throwing to the WR during his 1,700 yard season can't be at fault either. See why that's silly? This was not to dissolve Tua of blame because if you watch the video I blame them both equally for this performance. Tyreek has failed to show up in big games to and there are plenty of examples. Your bias is showing against Tua and favoring Tyreek when both played horribly.

[@Reality2016]

Your giving Tua no accountability just be honest he’s terrible in big games dude

[@avihoffman8543]

What are you eyes seeing bruh on the last play it’s GO ROUTE, deep route, the ball is under thrown. That is on tua the QB actual pathetic way ur putting this. First INT is all on Tua, it’s not Hill fault he not in right spot tua is not even looking even if he open yet he is one read QB in big games😂😂

[@rydermcconville]

Dude I get that you love Tyreek but it's okay to criticize him too. They both played awful. The last int is more on Reek because a fade that hits both of your hands should never be picked off even if it was slightly underthrown.

[@avihoffman8543]

What happened to launching it deep and letting Tyreek chase it down ?? lol he has to come back for the ball look at his feet sure it shouldn’t have been picked off an incompletion, but at same time tua is not throwing dots 2nd pass to reek he tosses it to feet and is wide open on curl route

[@rydermcconville]

@@avihoffman8543 Yeah misses happen. like the 2nd played I showed. Look all around the league deep balls are not throw perfectly all the time. Tua's throw was fine enough to where reek should've came down with it and he didn't and he would tell you that. Misses happen everywhere it's not something that really concerns me with Tua cuz he is usually very accurate. The decision making on the 1st int is where I am most concerned, not a slightly underthrown deep ball that hit the receiver in both hands.

[@avihoffman8543]

@ I mean if you look tua had all time in pocket on that quick deep route just launch it, Tyreek speed is his best asset, also a flashback to Bills Dolphins week 8, were tua I think maybe played his best game of szn, but he missed a key pass were hill is wide open down field should of been six points he hesitated and missed leads to a sideline catch ended up getting a field goal on that drive and could of had 4 more points, would of won that game, could of flipped szn with a win over Bills.

[@avihoffman8543]

@ tua also hasn’t made off schedule plays were he extends it often they doing all these screens so tua doesn’t have a higher chance get hit and it’s not workin, don’t know if tua is the guy for this team in 2025…. He’s a good QB but he can also look a scrub any givin week

[@Reality2016]

Your giving Tua no accountability just be honest he’s terrible in big games dude

[@rydermcconville]

I said Tua was horrible in this game like 10 times in this video and broke down why. How is that not holding him accountable? Just cuz I said other players were bad and held them accountable too?
