Fifty-two NFL receivers have been thrown more deep passes than Waddle. Dolphins explain

Among the head-scratching developments of this Dolphins season: How they’ve transformed Jaylen Waddle - one of the most electrifying deep ball threats at Alabama — into a possession receiver used almost exclusively on short and intermediate routes.

Those guys have more than 2 seconds to get down the field before their QB is killed?

Flores probably thinks he's Wes Welker.

Tired of hearing this.

A) The pass blocking has not been atrocious or even bad the past three weeks.

B) Other teams with bad lines still manage to take shots.

Go Barry J. Great article and thanks for sharing!

I hope Flo gets peppered about this in a press conference.

He’s not even running deep routes
Regardless if the QB has time or not.

Shot plays do take more than two seconds unless your a Lamborghini.

the "pass protection" was horrible against Buffalo......they gave up a ton of pressures.

I tried to get in here before somebody complained about the o-line...

I wasn't fast enough....

Oline or not, the game planning for Waddle has been dog sh1t.

Even his shorter routes are terrible (not him but what is called). This guy's quickness and sprint speed, he should be eating people's lunch as much or more than Edelman, Welker, Beasley, etc.

 

[Delvin]

If last year the critique was not throwing the ball enough down the field.

Then this year they came up with all new coaches and playbook with an emphasis on throwing down the field.

...and you are still not throwing down the field. Where's the problem?

Would it be fair to say that the play calling will be based more on Tua’s strengths than waddles?

Know why the pass blocking hasn't looked atrocious? Every route is short.

And its short because our line has made it so.

In terms of 'other bad lines still manage to take shots': PFF has our line ranked as the worst pass blocking line in the league.

Gesicki has been thrown some deep balls. Parker has.....when he's healthy, which he never is.
