2023 Miami Dolphins - Tua Q4 Review vs. Titans 

Glad you enjoyed it. I like to think I know a decent amount lol. But I miss plenty live & it's fun to go back and break it down. It's added a new level for me to share too

Appreciate the kind words! Here's a video you can check out for a podcast that I'm on where we talk about the Day 2 picks, including both Washington's ru-vid.comvF8YV7F3dxs?si=pXRtxJGFrnkniwFO The more I think about it - I think Malik is a steal. I do like Tahj - but with the talent in the WR room, there may not be enough room for him, barring injury. However, unless Tahj has a huge preseason - I think he could be an ideal candidate for the practice squad.

💯

Appreciate that - is there a specific room/position you'd like to see?

​@@OLCoachSmith63 Running Back. The blocking scheme is a thing of beauty to watch!!!

@@martinukpai7838 I've got some other videos on some different blocking schemes on my channel and will have an upcoming on one Duo at some point. But I have considered doing something on our running backs and their ability to read those blocks in front of them. As fast as Mostert & Achane are - their ability to read blocks makes them special

@@OLCoachSmith63 couldn't agree more.. our running game is special; Mike McDaniel designed it as such. Just wish we leaned on it more!!

It was definitely tough to experience it again 🤣

Thanks for watching!

Ok, so let's start with Brewer. He's not Williams. If Williams was healthy he'd have gotten 12-13m/year and been worth it. What I'll say about Brewer is that I describe him in a way that if you were creating a player in a video game with limited skill points - your center for this offense would look a lot like Brewer. The stuff he does well fits perfect in this offense, and the stuff he isn't as good this offense covers up. I think Jackson had a hot streak to start the season, but he is what he is. Fortunately for us - this scheme fits him really well too and he'll continue to be an above average player. Guards - likely will be Wynn at LG. Eichenberg will get a shot at RG - but I think the player who wins that is Rob Jones. Miami isn't going to invest heavily in the offensive line. So I think that the type of guys we've been getting are what you can expect to continue and we'll just continue to see them find mid-range guys with flaws - but fit this system well - and I'm good with that.

🎯. This was definitely a true team loss.

Ok, let's talk about that - since this video goes through the play by playing. We obviously get the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. But outside of the drive where they ran twice and ended up in 3rd & 6 - where else should they have run the ball?

I will only talk about the clips I saw why are some of this plays straight passes we were at the 13 yard line run the ball Mike calling fades to a injured Tyreek and tua didn’t have his best game but Mike said it himself his play calling was trash .. for the dolphins to make the next step Mike McDaniel needs to continue to grow as a coach and stop being pass happy overall good video

@roadtogreatness5347 I think that's a scenario where being a Monday morning QB is easy. Look at the drives after the fumbled punt & then shortly after the Levi's fumble recovered by Chubb - run, run, run. So it's not that McDaniel is allergic to that. Sometimes he's going to lean more pass - it may not be the balance you want, but I think the balance is closer than what some perceive. Appreciate you watching & commenting!

@@OLCoachSmith63 I agree that why I said it was a coaching not just a McDaniel thing and I agree Chubb made a back mistake

I'm not really seeing Achane run towards the ball on that. Looks to me like he was: 1) Running into the flats and cut it off because they didn't want him to get sandwiched on the sideline 2) the route was designed to come back towards the middle. Either way, he was still basically in the process of completing the cut back inside when the ball was thrown, which may have limited his ability to go up & get it - but I'm not seeing where he did anything that helped make that ball uncatchable. Appreciate the comment & analysis!

As a general rule - that's a very accurate statement. However, it's difficult to know exactly how McDaniel is coaching Tua. I do believe that McDaniel has Tua throwing into some tighter 1st read windows than other teams around the league because McDaniel trusts Tua's accuracy & likes his chance with his top reads to create something after the catch. From this video, I thought he did a good job of getting the ball out where it needed to go with some exceptions and a couple right reads, but throws that could be better.

@@OLCoachSmith63 definitely being coached/green lighted to consistently take that risks for the tight window throws. But what kinda irks me are the crucial down and distance moments: that missed read underneath on 3rd down where, how you explained, Tua probably anticipated zone and instead was given man coverage; the ball has to be delivered on Achane chest to move the sticks and finish/closeout those types of games. Those moments are inevitable.. I just want him to elevate to that standard that level and become what we're going to pay him to be! All respect brother!!

​@martinukpai7838 Appreciate it man! There's certainly rook to continue to improve. Every QB is going to mis diagnose coverage. In Tua's case, he is right more often than others, and I think that gets overlooked too often because it's harder to see. (That's not to you specifically). Instead, they see the QBs who are here than Tua on the other end - and that's more flashy. But those guys are going to miss too. Kyle Crabbs just posted an interview with Kurt Warner and posted a snippet on X of talking shut extending plays on front and and back end of plays - which I think is a great explanation.

@@OLCoachSmith63 definitely have to watch that!! But you're right, Tua reads defenses quickly, gets the ball out of his hand quickly, matriculates the ball down the field quickly... when he's in rhythm. Which brings up an additional concern.. the interior offensive line. The success of this offense hinges on those three guys being linked hip to hip like triplets. I hope that unit figures it out sooner than later! Thank you boss.

Thanks for watching!

Disgusting loss

Agree with this. Football is a game that is so complex, yet small mistakes can have huge effects on games.

Appreciate the compliment. But I'm sure Tua has better resources than me 🤣. I haven't done the Denver game, but there's been some of those clips in my other videos on different concepts - particularly Crack toss
