Tua Tagovailoa Week 13 2023 Analysis

[@callard2]

As to the big touchdown play at 7:17, tyreek has actually said he ran the wrong route. It was on X. He then said Tua specifically saw it and adjusted the throw to where tyreek would have a shot at it. Specifically the quote "I ran my route wrong Tua threw that ball exactly where I was suppose to be. He noticed my angle put enough air time on it just to give me time to adjust"

[@ggbchronicles7355]

And post-game

[@davidmcdaniel2647]

​@@coachYteand the f#$k do u know! Idiots need to watch and listen..

[@d8l835]

I believe it was the right route, but he ran it wrong. Tua said that when that route is called he's suppose to run it to the edge of the numbers not inside the numbers. That's why he threw it out there. But he did put enough air on it to give him time to adjust. Either way those 2 are elite when they on the same page and still VERY good when they aren't lol

[@clipsclipsammo4540]

Tua is supposed to drop it on the outside edge of the numbers and he did. It was really that simple. He was throwing to a spot and Tyreek didn’t run to the right spot. Tua also explained this.

[@Don-md6wn]

Mike McDaniel also said this in the post game press conference, and he said that during the week they talked about that play if they got the right defensive look. He said Tua saw it and checked into the play at the line of scrimmage.

[@roguebossa]

Tua trained in Jiu Jitsu after the last concussion, and that's improved his footwork, his poise, and his ability to take hits. It was a great decision.

[@King_platano420]

I have still seen him fall awkwardly. Tua is letting the ball out extremely quick. That's what's helping him + this is the best are o-line has looked in a very long time .

[@Jay19384]

Yep!

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Yea. 25 yard straight up no look into a keyhole window with guys on 3 sides of it. There was a play I'm not sure if it is in this video or not, im still watching, but idk how many QBs in the NFL are even attempting to throw a 35 yard out route.

My favorite part of your videos is hearing it in your voice how happy good play makes you.

19:40 watch Waddle absolutely torch his guy on this clip. If Tua doesn’t have a free runner coming at him it’s a TD throw to Waddle.

[@JeremyCaruthers]

You nailed that TUA throw/Tyreek route scenario... Was cool watching them talk about it on the sidelines on Hard Knocks. Tyreek, looking at the tablet: "The pass was perfect. I can admit when I was wrong."

[@Noeau]

Great breakdown. It seems like on the plays you chose, there were multiple players open for Tua to throw to. On the last one, 4 of 5 receivers were open. What a luxury to have. Coach Mike’s really is a savant with his schemes. These games are good reps for when they play their last 3 big games. Hopefully they have great success.

[@zt6313]

when you let the ball go before any receiver turns around, and everyone is fast, everyone is going to be open. That is the point.

[@frenchtoastmaffia]

Hey JT awesome vid! I find it interesting that the majority of national media belive Tyreek is carrying Tua. However, my takeaway from your analysis on the dolphins is that Tua is playing with unbelievable anticipation this year that enables the big plays from tyreek. Who would do you think is more responsible this duos success??

[@ggbchronicles7355]

It's a collective.... coach scheming, tua executing... run game.... tyreek also opens up other recievers and same with waddle

[@frenchtoastmaffia]

@ggbchronicles7355 for sure I guess the better question is who should win mvp, Tua or Tyreek? I lean towards Tua

[@Fletchman1313]

As awesome as Tyreek is, someone's got to throw him the ball. If Mike White plays the rest of the season and Tyreek makes his 2000, then I'd call him the MVP. The guy throwing the ball is somewhat more important than the guy catching the ball. It would probably be more appropriate if they were BOTH named MVP. Because on the other hand, if Tyreek wasn't there would there be others who could keep the Dolphins winning?

[@SavelioFamily]

QB has a harder job getting the ball to the WR. There’s a few WRs that get open regularly that don’t get the ball. Tua benefits from Tyreek and vice versa but Tuas job is a lot harder.

[@frenchtoastmaffia]

@testykal lol forgot this was a channel for qb fanatics. Definitely thought there would be more debate

[@ampinghard111]

It’s the down and distance that dictated that defensive call… They were expecting a throw just beyond the sticks which is probably what was originally called, and Tua checks out of it cause he got the look he wanted on a 3rd and 2.

[@Kandidat1999]

they ran the same play against the Jets on Tyreeks first TD, against the Jets he released outside, this time it was inside, looks like the DB was expecting an out as well, not that it would have mattered…lol

[@robertyoung2279]

[@sidekickz2180]

I had a feeling you'd cover Tua this week!

[@ggbchronicles7355]

Even if the safety went to tyreek on the first deep bomb...he had achane as well

[@Az814]

I thought it was waddle, but yeah, wide open too

[@CSpad]

That 1st TD, Tua & Reek talked abiut Tua and him having a signal after they both seen the coverage. If look at Achane at the opposite side, they motioned him to the far side and a LB manned up on him, thats why the safety shaded that side, yet he too was wide open. And if you seem Hardknocks last night you can see Miami working on that play & hitting Achane deep because they too couldn't believe that they would leave Reek 1 on 1. Lol

[@davidmacdonald2919]

Love these breakdowns

[@michaelcard9382]

Tua is a smart kid too and really has cirisma and spreads the ball around nicely

[@eac26114653]

[@ADop-y3f]

If Tua and dolphins beat ravens, cowboys and bills .. Tua wins mvp facts

[@altonridle6178]

The first touchdown the safety is shading to Achane side ,because the dolphins have a mismatch .the nickel corner needs to stay on top of hill ,and push him further inside closer to the safety .but he allowed him to break back outside.

[@mikell17ll87]

On Tyreeks 2nd td, the throw was to a spot, just to inside the numbers. Tyreek drifted inside, but he’s amazing so he got back to that spot

[@yitwailu2]

JT commented on the field at the beginning, and FYI it literally was a bog because it had rained buckets before the game. Scary to think what they would have done on a fast field.

[@NoLifeCrackHead]

22:30 the WR up top is wide open for a TD off the double move

[@darp4602]

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good... Fins up!

[@ampinghard111]

Tuas taught to slide over to buy enough time to get the ball off, he’s done it on 3 other deep TDs he’s thrown, the most notable one being in the comeback win in BAL. It’s specifically used to get him enough time to hit the deep ball when he knows his protection is at a disadvantage on one side. He’s been pretty accurate throwing off the slide over even with the poor footwork on the throw.

[@athens_1psvr31]

Ball out of his hands in 2 seconds. That’s what I’ve been counting all year. Either be throwing or moving into a better position to throw or run.

[@ADop-y3f]

In short if Tua beats lamar , dak and allen he will be mvp.

[@mateobaysa2055]

Tyreek tracked the 2nd td skillfully.

[@nicholasgiordano1199]

Also, curious what your take is on MVP. Who maybe your top 3 are. Would be a good film breakdown comparing them all. I'm biased but Tua looks like he should earn it this year over Purdy based off the eye test. I'd maybe put hurts as 1a ,Tua 1b

[@TheQBSchool]

no thoughts. don't care

[@willfischer2765]

Hey JT, love your work. Idk if you've seen some PFF guys and some Ringer football guys say that anticipation isn't always a good thing. Specifically citing "anticipation is the worst word of the year.". I just wanted your opinion on that statement, as you love and praise the QBs with elite anticipation (rightfully so)

[@TheQBSchool]

Worst word of the year?

[@stolve8847]

@@TheQBSchool I think he's referring to noted clown Steven Ruiz who I believe has never played or coached at the college level or above, but fancies himself and authority on QB play. He doesn't seem to have any qualifications or ability to scout the position himself, and jumbles up a bunch of shit that he doesn't understand to trying to sound smart. A good example of this is him calling Patrick Mahomes a bad pick by the Chiefs because of his "poor mechanics."

[@willfischer2765]

@@TheQBSchool Yeah that phrase "worst word of the year" came from some PFF guy and Ruiz agreed with him. My issue with Ruiz is he is on some pretty reputable podcasts (The Mina Kimes Show and others) and seems to be growing his brand by doing this. I don't know if he should keep getting these platforms to speak when he still believes anticipation is "a guessing game." I just didn't know if you saw the tweet and wanted to get your opinion on it, as it feels like a foolish thing to think about quarterback play

[@HawgWyldFishing]

The second play. The angle route to Waddle, i think he put on his back hip to slow Waddle down on purpose, instead if running him full speed into the hit from that safety or the linebacker if he somehow managed to cover that kind of ground and Waddle shook the safety.. That play to Tyreek was 100% on Tyreek, it was even on the last hard knocks episode with them still on the sideline and Wes Welker, Tua and Tyreek all looking at it on their tablets, and talking about it. Tua was throwing to the mark away from the safety, and Hill didnt notice the safety and was running his route as if they weren't there.

[@TheUsc4]

Achane wide open up top first play

[@paulglover5359]

That first play was either a TD to Hill or a TD to Achane... Achane beat the LB worse than Hill beat his single coverage 😅

[@nicholasgiordano1199]

Would you say that last "step for growth" is one of the factors that kept Brady in the league so long? Would love to see what made Brady so great. From a casual perspective. Preparation, being smart, anticipation, knowing where the ball has to go, and getting the ball out quick is what I would think. Hard to put everything that made him good in a yt comment tho lol.

[@tlem07]

In all fairness, Devon Achane was on a LB on the first play. So the safety helped out Achane

[@LeaveItToTheWolves]

7:44 I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it yet but Tyreek said on his podcast that he told Tua during the game that he threw the wrong route than Tua said no then when they looked at the film on the sideline Tyreek said well shit you right Tua my bad bro.

I find it hilarious that under the same conditions-accurate quarterback without the biggest arm, imaginative Shanahan offense, dominant skill players- for JT Purdy is a distributor, but Tua is awesome.

[@stardustspark5682]

Purdy did not throw a single pass over 17 air yards in week 13. Go look at the next gen stats passing chart. Purdy is still good, but he's just letting his guys go wild, Tua is consistently pushing the ball down the field. 300+ yards with no passes hitting 20 air yards is CRAZY. That's why he would be a distributor, CMC, Deebo, etc. feast with YAC

The last throw, he pats the ball. His pat messed his feet up for that split second. Wouldve been fine if he cut out the pat, or one of the two half hitch steps he made. Having all of them together was just a little bit too much for a throw like that though. Still absolutely stupid that the throw was as close to being caught as it was in that kind of window, that far down the field at the sidelines. 🤯🤯
