"Jitterbug bullshit" is the best description of Hill's RAC plays that I've heard lol

For lack of a better word, McDaniel’s motions in this game was unhinged. Beyond creative.

Let the nerd cook

The Dolphins Broncos game review is about to be a damn movie

I am REALLY enjoying the success of the Dolphins offense and your breakdown last year and this one is great. While I'm not part of 'tuanon' - I do think that over time we will all end up realizing that this kind of offense is primarily successful BEACUSE of Tua's greatness. No sure how long it will take - it took a while for people to recognize Drew Brees' greatness - his injury and the Chargers giving up on him set him back - but obviously his talent was always there. The only physical trait Tua is missing is a canon-arm - but he is ELITE at so many other aspects it's ridiculous... While watching this video and Tua getting the ball past Derwin on his blitz - I realized that I rarely see Tua's passes being batted at the line... looked it up and OF COURSE - between 2019-2022, he has the lowest % of passes batted at the line... the next closest to him? Brees, Brady, and Rodgers.

Your channel is dope af bro. I'm so happy to see the subscriber count increase since last year. Next level

Your channel is THE football channel. Your analyses make me discover the depth and subtlety of the game like none other. And such exquisitely articulate while collaquial narration! A gem. A huge Thank You to you, guys.

70pts today. 🤣🤣🤣 I hope to see us another Miami breakdown from TF. 🤞

This is the best channel for football analysis! Thanks

Tua about to get a bag with the dimes he is throwing.

I always learn so much about football theory when I watch your videos. I feel like I'm getting private film studying with a Coach. Thanks for all the hard work

LETS GO DOLPHINS BABYYY🐬

i incorporate these plays with my flag football team and it's unbelievable how well it works even in middle school. mcdaniel is a goddamn genius

Bro this video has aged gracefully, Dolphins put up 70 pionts vs the Broncos defense week-3 😂😂

I’m literally watching your videos 3 or 4 times every time they come out and STILL learning something new each watch. AWESOME!

The Dolphins organization really want to win now. Hiring one of the best offensive minds and football and for good measures picking the best defensive Coordinator in the league. They need to be stopped!

Watching this after the broncos game is something else lmao. "the best defensive coordinator ever", "if they can put up 30 points again whos gonna stop them". Holy shit

As a chargers fan, it was frustrating seeing everyone wide open literally every play. Ggs to McDaniel. Dudes one of the smartest coaches out there and knows how to use his weapons.

Two things. First, I always thought the offensive players had to be set (stationary) before the snap. And second, McDaniel is a genius. Not only for the plays but for knowing what the players can do. Watching them beat the Pats last night was glorious if a bit frustrating. Your analysis is fantastic. Sometimes the algorithm serves up good stuff. You got a new subscriber here.

The thing is Miami's very unpredictable . Mike mcdaniels is constantly changing up his plays..his playbooks so deep and versatile

Gon need a recap of the how McDaniel approached the Pats game too. He's getting pretty balanced with his ability to game plan his cheat codes on a weekly basis. Not only did he do it with the run, but he chose to NOT run OZ at the right time for a Mostert chunk play. The run game is alive and well.

Great breakdown. Can’t wait for next week’s, when you discuss what Belichek came up with as an answer.

Mannnnn of course the first video of the new season i see outta you is against my team.... Fire Staley man

Well, to be fair, he's not as big a dork as that Chargers coach....never forget that timeout he called

The Fins are dangerous! But the entire thing depends on keeping Tua’s head from getting scrambled! Dude has the skills! Another great breakdown bro 💪🏽

By far the best film study channel on RU-vid

this thinkingfootball guy has the best damn daily content for football idc who you are.

Yessss hes back

You're the goat at this bro no cap

“jitterbug bullshit” 😂😂😂

As a bills fan I'm terrified 😂

i wish pittsburgh had a Coordinator like mike

who's here after they put 70 on the Broncos

I’m minding my business after watching the video about the dolphins from last year, I refresh my recommended and see this title. Safe to say I dying for the next few minutes

Thanks!

Nerd cookin

All the Tua haters filling out their Excuses Bingo card! The GW TD pass...he knocked dirt off the defender's shoulder and placed the ball gently into Cheetah's hands. You can say the defense was bad and it was. But concepts are beating coverages and Tua's accuracy was there. Tua was quick, decisive, accurate, and illusive. No sacks on the day and threw some beautiful balls. Don't hate, appreciate!

Now you gotta make another video about McDaniels

Absolutely amazing

This feels exactly how the Dolphins started last season too

Great work.

Would this work well against a defense like the Jets who dont switch cornerbacks to different sides.

Great video man!

They put up more than 30

Man, this is outstanding! ✊

damn they make it look easy.

tua is so good and no one is talking abt it

New video for the historic 70 burger the Dolphins hung on the broncos?

I'm watching this video to figure out how does he do it, because 30 minutes ago miami won 20:70 against broncos

as a chargers fan i knew we were blessed to be within 1 possession the entire game because there were NO signs we could slow their offense down AT ALL

"And now, time for more jitterbug bullshit" Rofl

Love your videos keep it up

Great breakdown

McDaniel did not beat the nerd allegations

The dolphins plays the same type of defense in practice. The only wronkle is that the Chargers played a ton of man to try to confuse the fins

Nice video sir. My Bills better study up or dolphins gonna take the division this year. Looking scary

The NERD is making top end professional athletes look like fools. So great Tua got him to revive his career

Bro you are the goat

Tua needs more credit for some great throws here.

Best team in the league… LETS EAT !!!

Make that 70…

Go Fins.

WHEN YOU HAVE AN OFFENSE THAT IS BASED SOLELY ON SPEED IT WILL NOT STAND THE TEST OF TIME. THIS IS WHY BILL WALSH IS THE GREATEST OFFENSIVE MIND IN NFL HISTORY.

I was a huge proponent of McDaniel when he was in San Fran and when the broncos fired Fangio I wanted them to sign Mcdaniel more than anyone else. Even with Sean Peyton I think I’d still rather have McDaniel

In view of the Broncos, the Chargers didn't look that bad. The Dolphins look really good. This might be my favorite offense I have ever seen. They have so much speed.

I really hope tua dont get hurt this year.

How is that motion to H-Back set and start running before the snap business NOT a false start? The player starts running his route pre-snap. Dont fet me started on "orbit motion" where the player starts boing backwards but they always rotate FORWARD to catch up with the QB at the snap. It's Illegal Motion. My comment sounds rhetorical, but I really do want to know why it's legal. Thanks in advance.

When McDaniel was hired (always thought Tua would thrive in a Shanahan system) I made a statement which I believe now more than when I said it. My comment was "I am going to make a prediction that is both hyperbolic and early. The hiring of Mike McDaniel will be the Dolphins best decision since drafting Dan Marino.

Man i can’t wait for my cowboys to face off this team!! Go boys🌟

Hi, Dolphins fan from the future. Great video, I just wanna say that McDaniel started getting put in a box about three weeks later, and is kinda still there. I like McDaniel, I just haven't ever seen him have what it takes to be a great head coach, or even a great coordinator. >Refused to run the ball with power, or in situations where you should run it (short-yardage, Goal Line, needing to eat the clock, needing to give your defense a breather, etc.). >Starting in October of '23, McDaniel's offense never had a rhythm to it, and he seemed to go completely away from staples of his scheme up to that point. Compare this game to anything from like Week 5, forward in 2023, and it's not comparable in the slightest. >McDaniel's a terrible gameday coach and play-caller, evident by how he constantly gets put in a blender by better DCs, loses games he shouldn't, a litany of penalties, and relying entirely on Tua and the playmakers to bail-out his shitty play-calling and the worst OL in the league. I'm not going to going into an autistically long rant about McDaniel, but when you start really looking at the film over the last (going on) three seasons, it's clear that McDaniel hasn't ever understood the technicalities of what makes a great OC and head coach. He's an utterly brilliant play-designer, but as soon as the offense isn't humming (for whatever reason), he can't adjust. There's a reason why the offense completely dies without Tua, it's because Tua's the guy who actually makes it all function. As it stands right now, there's maybe four or Five Guys I think could run McDaniel's offense to the same level Tua has, because of what it takes in terms of timing, precision, and getting the ball out in 1.5 seconds because of the OL. And just to get it out there, the offense last year dealt with an ungodly amount of injuries and drops that, if remedied, would make Miami's offense not look like an utter paper tiger (and would've won Miami three of four games they lost). And if that were the case, would McDaniel's offense be looked at like more of a real threat to good teams? Sure, but the underlying issues would still exist, they'd just be masked a whole lot better than they have been.

Tmm is going to be a good game

A DB following a player in motion does not necessarily mean they're playing man.

IMO, McDaniel is doing what Brandon Staley did. They are intelligent coaches who figure out how to design schemes tailored to the elite talents they possess. Staley built a unique Match Quarters defense around Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey, where he got away with playing the run from 2-deep because of HOFer Donald, and Ramsey was good enough to MEG the backside on a lot of those Match zones. But when he tries to take that same scheme to the Chargers, it doesn't work. Because while the scheme was good, it was heavily reliant on some elite talent to make it go. The same can be said with what McDaniel is doing in Miami. He's got the best WR in the league in Hill and a very good WR2 who would be a WR1 on most teams in Waddle. Hill is the Aaron Donald of this scheme, doing all the heavy lifting and still winning matchups even though defenses gameplan specifically for him. He's the workhorse this scheme is built on, while Waddle is the Jalen Ramsey who's able to win the schematic matchups that fall to him. And not to slouch Tua at all - we know he throws a great ball and he's elite at making pre-snap reads to identify coverage and get the ball to the right guy. The way you beat Tua is the same way you beat him in Alabama - disguising coverage and rolling post-snap. He's elite at pre-snap reads but struggles (comparatively) when defenses change up their looks and make him decipher coverages mid-play. Not that he's a bad QB in those situations, but it's what makes him beatable. So all props to McDaniel for constructing this offense, just like Staley did for the Rams, but the question remains if McDaniel could make it work if he didn't have Tyreek Hill just like Staley couldn't make his work without Donald. But in the end that question doesn't matter too, because you could make the same argument about Phil Jackson being able to build an offense around Jordan (and using the same offense later with Kobe). There were other coaches who couldn't make it work with a younger Jordan, but in steps Phil implementing a new offense tailor-made for his superstar. And it obviously worked - does that make Phil a bad coach because the scheme only works with superstar HOFers like MJ and Kobe? Not at all, and in the same way I'm not taking away from what McDaniel has done in Miami. But given the shorter shelf life of elite NFL speed compared to an NBA superstar like Jordan, we'll see in a few years if McDaniel can still make this scheme work despite not having the best/fastest WR in the league.

"There is not a dude in the league fast enough to cover this man." Usain Bolt tried out once.

To me this video just points out how bad the Chargers' defense is if anything. Man coverage against Tyreek the whole game?

Staley's tenure may get much shorter than anticipated. You don't allow your 260+ million QB dollars to go to waste because of an inept HC. Miami played great, but won by only 2 points, against a poor L.A. defense. A decent HC or DC would never have lost that game, notwitstanding McDaniel's brilliance and Hill's insane talent.

"if they can put up 30+ points again" .. how about 70? lol

Everyone is open because it's the Chargers. It's not the scheme. McDaniel is great but it's still a Brandon Staley lead team.

100%

All of these brainiac playcallers peter out in the 2nd half of the season as defenses adjust.

Bump

Didn't work against the Broncos

The nerd is crazy btw

you think this is crazy?

if dolphins had a real qb theyd be unstoppable

The offense is a gimmick. It’s a poor man’s copy of McVay and Shannhans and will crumble exactly like last season when they start playing coherent defenses.

These are busted coverages. Good scheme worse defense

Staley is so overrated. Herbert's being wasted.

First

Imagine if Hill was still with the Chiefs...

this video showcases just how easy it is for a QB to have success.

Ill answer this real easy...... Its the Chargers. The worst defense in the history ig all sports in any moment when they need to be clutch. The Chargers D is anti clutch.
