Well, opponents are already game planning to stop Hill and Waddle. And so far the Dolphins are 132 out of 181 throws to them (73%) for 2,026 yards (11.2 ypp).
And careful with saying forced because strategy is meant to work that way, there are 11 players and 11 assignments on the defensive end. We are looking for gaps to open to squeeze the ball in a spot safe enough for players to catch the ball that really boils everything down to not just the mismatches created but also forcing the defense to put more players assigned intentionally to create easy plays too. So it works both ways brother.
Hey have you seen the light on Herbie yet or are you still dug in? I’m just curious.
Not sure what you are asking brother. I maintain that Tua and Herbert are apples and oranges and have different strengths and weaknesses. As a former QB (not pro) I can appreciate both of them. But Tua is number 1 for me because he is our QB. Had we drafted Herbert I would feel the exact same way for him. I'm a Phins first always man.
You and I talked a while back, you firmly believing in Herbie, and I said he wouldn’t ever win anything of significance based on the similarities of his college and pro tape. Recently, a lot of people are coming around on Herbie, and I was wondering if you were one of them. However, it appears that you’re still holding on to hope, so I don’t want to mess with that. Respectfully, best of luck with that.
Time will tell friend. I wish Herbert the best as long as it doesn't conflict with the Dolphins. It's funny, a friend of mine recently told me recently that it Tua and Herbert had a baby, his name would be Dan Marino. The strengths of both of them combined into one.
I understand that perspective. And time will tell if that opinion on him will change. It's very hard to compare. What I don't understand is why some people on our beloved site (not you) feel the constant need to talk **** about Herbert for no reason other than he was drafted by another team in the same year. Why can't we be positive about our team's choice (Tua) without dumping personal attacks on a kid (Herbert) who has great talent and character?
I think Herbert, Burrow and Tua are each good qbs. It would be interesting if all three were on the free agent market at the same time. If you had $40 million per year to offer each of the three and they were each interested in coming to Miami which one would you want the team to sign? I might say Tua, but a big part of that is he's part of the Dolphin family and I'm bias. Let's say you're a fan of the Broncos and you had a chance for you team to add Herbert, Tua or Burrow who would you bang the table for?
I agree 100%. Some seem to feel in order to lift their opinion of one player they have to trash another. It was the same way when people felt in order to praise Herbert they had to take shots at Tua in the process. The truth is 2020 was Herbert's year, 2021 was Burrow's and looks like 2022 is Tua's. Come 2025 or 2026 if all three are good qbs nobody will care which one reached the level first.
