No idea why no passes to Achane. Get him in space. This offense really needs a 3rd wr. Zero separation from any one of them besides Hill. Waddle will help a bunch being back.
I agree and disagree on Zims analysis and thank him for the efforts he puts in each week and I look forward to reading his posts..
I blame the loss squarely on Mikey.. I think its simple... Coach Mickey D is one of... if not the best ever OC, he just needs a HC to over ride his silly plays during the game.
I believe we could have overcame the punt return TD and limitations on D and the offense should have won the game.. When the safeties double Hill.. or when they put 9 in the box, that is taking away from other parts of the field.. We should have been able to exploit the vulnerable areas.
That falls on Mikey D as the sole play caller. The question is... how do we get him to step down, take on the role of OC and then find someone that can adjust to the momentums of the game?
I had to stop an think about hiring an OC... and after thinking about it, I have to disagree.. If MickeyD was a HC, he would be able to feel the flow of the game and make adjustments accordingly, it wouldnt matter if it was his play or a play that was whispered in his ear from the man upstairs (the OC, not God.. lol).I think that's backwards. Keep Mcd as HC but hire an OC. I just posted elsewhere, scripted plays when he has all day to plan, he can be lethal. When he has 10 sec and the game is close, he seems to have brain freeze and the 'bad' Mcd appears. I'm certain he has the talent and ability, but he can be his own worst enemy.
After watching the video in the post about Hill and drops it is puzzling and frustrating to see Tyreek drop so many key passes during games. He does a ton of great stuff but really needs to focus and make plays. Couple other points:
*If Buffalo can float a safety over Hill and negate his impact why can’t we do the same to Diggs, Flowers, AJ.Brown, Lamb…. when we are on defense?
* Why don’t we run more iso with Hill and have trips to the short side and Hill alone on the wide side. We can even have a slot WR there and bring him in motion to the formation to see if they are in man or zone. If they don’t give the db help you have a one v one with Tyreek. If not you have 10 on 9, and then can run crossers with Hill and the opposite Y or Z receiver. If they are in man it is too hard to keep up all the way across the field and easy 10-12 yard throws for Tua.
* I know we had a ton of injuries and some are bad luck, but really need to look into our S&C program and why we are getting crushed with them.
*McDaniel needs to quit with the cute play calling trying to be the. OST creative in the league and find out what worked, play to our strengths, and quit calling 3 straight runs or 3 straight passes. He seems to get flustered and then tightens up and we suffer.
* Love Tyreek but if he is only going to play 1-2 more seasons I would listen to offers. Someone can be desperate enough and offer a pair of 1’s - Dallas and Jerry or someone like Carolina or Washington or Chicago who needs help at the WR spot. Imagine a couple of high firsts with help for the cap.
Because like McDaniel, Fangio is clueless when it comes to playcalling, and especially with making adjustments. The defense did well in the first half, forcing Allen into bad throws and getting turnovers, but in the second half they were shredded. Even with injuries and Tua's issues, Miami lost another big game mostly due to McDaniel and Fangio. Other teams routinely make adjustments to counter what the opponent is doing, but Miami doesn't.*If Buffalo can float a safety over Hill and negate his impact why can’t we do the same to Diggs, Flowers, AJ.Brown, Lamb…. when we are on defense?
Wow dude you are in such denialSorry but this grading is off as the Team was up 14-7 at halftime and the defense only gave up 10 points.
Wr and special teams and McDaniel lost this game. Not the Defense not Tua.
Tyreek drops a 3rd down conversion and a TD on the last drive. Go watch the film.
Special teams broke down at the absolute worst time.
Not running the ball in the second half is just plain stupid after average 7-8 in the 1st half which netted a 14-7 advantage
Here's what I intend to do instead of just the All 22. I want to see how many receptions with other clubs these veteran recivers had before joining the Dolphins. That should help in this regardsI'd love for someone with time to watch All-22 and inform us if anyone not named TH/Waddle were open. I know they were, just from the TV angles, but seldom targeted. I'll not dump on the receivers until I know whether their lack of targets was loss of separation or TT obsessed with TH/waddle. I agree, the O has to target more receivers. I find it hard to believe TH is double/triple covered and no other receiver has 3 yds separation
Looked at the veteran recivers we have from other clubs on this team all their receptions this year are way down like in half except for Hill. Hill is beat up at year end when he is needed most because of that imo.I'd love for someone with time to watch All-22 and inform us if anyone not named TH/Waddle were open.

I totally agree with this. Starting last season, it was the first time in his life that he was that guy, under the gun, having to make the decision on the play call in seconds and under enormous pressure. Not only that, but now add in the potential pressure of replay challenges, etc. This is vastly different than being the guy who talks to your position group after each drive. Or the guy who installs a game plan during the week and then observes during the game.I think that's backwards. Keep Mcd as HC but hire an OC. I just posted elsewhere, scripted plays when he has all day to plan, he can be lethal. When he has 10 sec and the game is close, he seems to have brain freeze and the 'bad' Mcd appears.
