So since Miami beat Washington 45-15 in week 13 last year here's what the offense has done since then including playoffs:

Scoring totals : 27, 30, 22, 19, 14, 7, 20, 10, 3

W-L record: 3-6

Total Yards PPG: 322.3
PPG: 16.8
Total 1st Downs:158
AVG 1st Downs Per Game: 17.5
Passing 1st Downs: 100 (11.11 per game)
Rushing 1st Downs: 50 (5.5 per game)
1st downs by penalties: 8
3rd down %: 43/121 (35.5%)
4th down %: 8/24 (33.3%)

Passing Yards: 1952 (217 per game)
Yards per pass: 9.9
Completions (Attempts) 197/308 (64 %)
Sacks allowed 23 (2.5 per game)
Interceptions: 8 (0.88 per game)

Rushing Yards:949 (105.4 per game)
Rushing Attempts: 225
Yards per rush: 4.22
Fumbles Lost: 2

Anything stand out? It's clear the motion stuff is not working anymore. Lack of depth behind Hill and Waddle is hurting big time. Biggest thing to me is the 9.9 yards per pass play. That's leading to a lot of short distances to go get the first down where McDaniel will run right up the middle when everyone is waiting for it and we lose yards because this OL is absolutely dreadful in short yardage downs. You trade up to draft another running back and then hardly use him. McDaniel needs to adjust big time. WR is no longer the strongest unit on the team especially with all the injuries right now. It's definitely the RBs he needs to be leaning on. The offense was basically built to overwhelm teams lacking talent and weak in the trenches. Too bad there's not that many such teams in the league

This OL is terrible on 3rd and long too because they can't pass block long enough

Which is why Miami can't get it down the field anymore because the OL has regressed from mediocre to god awful now. And why every passing play is behind the LoS garbage

When you consider the fact they haven't beaten a winning team in that stretch, the answer is clearer...these stats certainly support it, they played several winning teams in that stretch.

Like how has he not adjusted by now? Teams have caught on now. They laugh at all the motions now like aww that’s cute.

I really don’t think they have, when Tua was playing they were there just rusty and couldn’t execute. Would of worked itself out as everyone got on the same page.

Atleast completely. He does suck a mid game adjustments which is why we suck vs good teams. They make in game adjustments then McDaniel’s is left dumbfounded.

What I’m talking about is the drive killing and not being able to simplify your offense when you know you have a much worse qb. How many times this year have we had positive first down plays then gone backwards on 2nd and short? You also can’t call the same plays for skylar as you do with tua. If you watch the all 22 guys are running free but again skylar sucks and yet McDaniel’s stayed spamming the same plays we’d run with tua.

McDaniel’s really needs to give up play calling. Come up with initial scheme once Tua comes back then let someone else call the plays. The situational **** is some of the worst I’ve ever seen.
 
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned on here……

Including playoffs, the Dolphins are 7-13 on the road under McDaniel. He is 21-18 overall. That is some serious home vs. road disparity.

Anyway, just something I found interesting.

And, don't forget. As bad as those numbers are, the O was significantly worse in 2H. This year, 1 TD in the 2H and that was an 80yd catch by TH on blown coverage.

Can you believe that's just ONE of Miami's issues
