"Big" plays

[brumdog44]

As defined as 20+ yard plays:

In 2021, the Dolphins had 50 'big' plays in 17 games; 45 passes and 5 runs.

In 8 games this year, we have 35 (31 passes and 4 runs).....on pace for 74 'big plays'.

In 2021 in Kansas City, Tyreek Hill had 12 'big plays'; Jaylen Waddle had 8 in Miami. This year, both have already exceeded last year's total (Hill has 15 and Waddle has 12).

We get chunk plays out the wazoo in this offense. My complaint prior to the Lions game was that it wasn’t turning into points save the Baltimore game. Hopefully this bigger back we just got can help us get some tough yards in close too

Hard to turn them into point's when we keep shooting ourselves in the foot with dumb penalties. We have a 40 yard play and then get 20 yards in penalties and end up with a 3rd and 25.

Then get another first down. 3 plays 80 yards 1 first down

Good point. Seems like so many drives get derailed because of this

Now that drive killer Edmonds is gone that is gonna improve - guaranteed!

Like anyone I love me a demoralizing big play. But... Gimme those 8-12 yard time consuming chunk plays ALL DAY!! Especially those plays that make the opposing D-linemen gassed.

That's going to be more important with the cold weather coming.

Yep. Captain Obvious for sure.

That does remain a question mark, but i think we'll start to see more balance. Opponents are definitely going to have to sell out to stop/slow down Miami's passing attack.

Opportunities will be there in the run game. Also, hopefully the defense plays better and the Dolphins have the lead more often.

Cold weather has derailed many a high flying passing game in December. I love that we got a big back
