I know everyone hates the playcalling. And it’s the easiest thing to blame. But since George Godsey has taken over there are things I really like. Primarily how we use Jaylen waddle to create mismatches. Do you guys think it’s just waddle is so good he can create mismatches and make plays no matter the scheme or do you think Godsey is capable of creating good plays for good players? As upset I am with the offense, and I was furious we didn’t hire an outside OC I kind of hope we stick with Godsey and create some continuity with the offensive play calling
 
It's not just Waddle. It has also been how they've mitigated the poor T play. NO could have easily destroyed our game b/c of how good their ends are. The OCs have also mitigated the poor running back play. IMO the OCs have done a fine job during our win streak. There were clearly some growing pains to start the season as they adjusted to personnel, but of late I would say our offensive play calling has been a strength.

I will definitely be learning from other posts on this one, but seems to me Waddle has a knack for creating separation that our other guys don't or haven't for awhile

Well, I think that's not necessarily the negative people make it out to be. Not to say it's good either, it's neutral to me and I'll say why.

Aside from Waddle, our top two talents are Parker and Mike G. Both are big bodies who win battles. Neither is a separation receiver really, not to say they can't but it isn't their game.

Their game is extending with their long limbs/bodies and winning contested catches. They are the types that don't need as much separation to create a positive play if you trust them enough and put the ball where they can go get it.

If you put the ball on IR there is an excellent chance Parker will come down with it.
 
I recommend watching the first half of the following posted by PASQUALE to see how the OCs design plays for Waddle…

Kurt Warner: Film Study - Seven Straight Wins for the Dolphins - Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins are the first NFL team in history to lose 7 straight games and come back and win 7 straight games! It really is about both sides of the ball although they might be winning more on defense (which we are also going to take a look at in this video). But Tua Tagovailoa […]

Godsey has done a terrific job scheming Waddle to give him opportunities to succeed. Shutting him down is easier said than done with the way Godsey deploys him. It’s not just the creative play calls per se. They also put him in different take off points, get him running starts, moving him around etc. Obviously, Waddle has electric talent but Godsey is using him nicely.
 
I may be in the minority here but Godsey and the play calling has been very good. We have a horrendous offensive line and this time continues to find ways to move the ball with little help from the oline. Watch other teams
With horrible line play and they cannot consistently move the ball and there are a ton more negative plays(also credit tua).
 
There has been some improvement, but I can't get over some of the situational calls. Third and short in particular. The league has figured out the Jacoby Brissett substitute, it doesn't work anymore, and yet we run it once a week. Same with the wildcat. It had some minor success in the redzone a few weeks back but it doesn't do anything anymore. Yet these guys are calling these plays at least once a week.

I would use more tempo like Tua did in college. But Flores and co. want the ultra conservative offense to keep the defense in plus situations (don't have the offense get off the field too quickly so the defense can get some rest). It is what it is, offense is just limited with the fact we have 3 of the worst offensive linemen in the league, and a below average starter.
