Tua time!
If there's a definition for ugly one that was it. Team came out flat and it didnt help that the qb went from a pre snap read to no post snap verification on db location when he finished his drop and took his head from the center of the field on the first pass play which resulted in an int. Jamar taylor was literally post snap during the qbs drop shifting laterally inside sitting on the quick slant route. "Welcome to hard rock miami fans where theres an int on the first pass play in the new digs. Come feel the excitement!" brutal...5th year qb i dont care if you are trying to pick up an easy quick 5 yards there you have to verify it post snap or come off it if hes sitting inside.
loved the tempo of the offense...i mean we were at a lightning pace. Oh wait...there was no tempo. Adam gase may have been i guess trying to keep from gassing the d but by letting the browns match personnel on a down by down basis he hopefully has learned that miami isnt loaded with playmakers on offense and its not a mismatch across the board. Tempo is our friend cause with that d no lead is ever gonna be safe.
yeesh. Vance joseph stock is trending down at an alarming rate. Team looked completely unprepared for the tyrelle pryor serving as the qb wildcat and read option offense. The best thing this d does in the run game is run blitz the safeties off the edge to maybe get a tackle for loss. Like seriously that's it. There was soft edges and gaping holes in the middle to gallop thru. Doesnt help when miami is getting nothing from jelani jenkins its starting nickel/sub and base wolb. Hes not making the box or space tackles one on one he needs to make. I think its time to sit him and try and see if 10 days off will help...hes not close to being right. Quddus play since week 1 is trending down at one safety but at least hes making down hill last line of the defense tackles vs ball carriers.
I dont think ive seen an olb group take more misdirection pa bait than miamis. I figured an instinctual mike would help clear that up i figured wrong.
Kiko took a really poor angle on that last td drive 40 yard gallop by the back up the middle...came up too wide and dived at shoe laces. Butler looks lost but thats to be expected i guess this new in the building. Hide him best at strong side lb id say
Cam wake looks good in about a 15 foot box...hes not close to the same space close athlete as prior to injury. To be expected off an achilles but its still noticeable when it comes to his ability to close on the scramble drill.
oh my man byron maxwell. Vance keeps playing you in off and you keep wearing a damn target. Has someone asked vance why the hell on 3rd and long with pre snap set boundary wrs hes not pressing this guy? If its not zone it has to be press. Look at some of that off coverage tape. Right before the half theres a play where vance is off pryor playing an inside leverage technique. The idea is to force the wr wide to his biggest asset his length on the sideline and make the ball go iver his head outside shoulder to be completed. The play starts maxwell gives away the inside immediately from off even with inside leverage damn lucky the qb threw that ball away to the pylon cause it was a walk in td if he throws the in cut. He has some of the worst technique i have seen. Wonder why he gives up the stop route in press where hes always tagging the guy down on the ground at the sticks? Cause even in press he plays such an over the top leverage in the stem that stop routes and back shoulder are always gonna be on the menu. Joseph must be calling all this off to try and help xavien howard who looks damn good in off but im sorry its time to flip the switch and make coverage and technique calls to hide the veteran corner. Even in press his footwork gets out of whack and he gets beat inside and stacked. We just havent paid for it yet but we will. Still miami has no other choice with that guy.
tannehills 2nd int is a function of pre to post snap protection as is whose coming and coverage confusion. Danny shelton was standing up running around in different inside or outside gaps and it threw miami for a major loop. Qb didnt look prepared for it. And it showed post snap. Only good thing he did on the play was feel the backside pressure and shift laterally away from it but it still didnt matter in the end. He had landry underneath for the catch and conversion but that plays totally about confusion pre to post snap.
probably the worst game of pass pro i have seen from jawuan james. Hes had issues at left tackle forced there due to attrition prior but nothing like the consistent issues he had sunday vs the browns. Is he playing hurt or something? He caught more than he punched and was beaten by strength and on his outside shoulder unable to get to things laterally he normally does.
Run game is like grinding teeth. Watching it hurts even. Kenyan drake off tackle or cut it up inside when its no longer there. Ajayi running into walls. Its not for a lack of trying to get things going gase showed a bunch of different looks he ran it out of and still with marginal results. Lack of tempo in the home opener kills me. Steen doesnt get to much outside in space in the run game...in that regard we miss pouncey especially with all this off tackle and wide stuff we are trying to run with scat back skill sets
doubt with steens injury we see much of it on a short week thursday. Speaking of that miami plays like it did sunday we will get our doors blown off. I mean beat the hell down. Oc and dc need to wake up. If we gonna go down lets go down guns blazing. We were a missed fg at the end of regulation from me throwing in the towel on 2016. We got a gift from the football gods. Are we gonna die a slow death or are we gonna rally around it?
route concepts look good...lots of vertical double moves. I even saw a stop then wheel route to landry. Like the route concepts. During that 4 minute o at the end of the game tied miami ran stacked trips on repeat on one drive. Every one of those routes trips side was run into coverage. Protection was failing us things were falling apart fast.
in ot miami came out with a nice misdirection pa to sims for a chunk gain. I guarantee you if jordan cameron is in sims place there cameron doesnt get that much space to operate in. The backside lb took the bait and we got a much needed big gain. After that dion threw a crushing block on the edge to give ajayi the corner and a walk in game winner td. Thats the value of an in line tight end folks. They sell run and they seal in the run game.
Really nice route by landry on the deep drop pa the play prior for a 30 yard gain. He sold the in cut jamar taylor took the bait and tanny just prior to contact without even setting his feet due to wide pressure from both sides turned a potential disaster into a big play.
i will close with there are some seriously ugly trends right now with the defense that good qbs and ones with more timing and ability to read the defenses mail will seriously exploit if vance joseph doesnt offset. I can absolutely see a bottom 10 finish defense now if things stand pat. Press the damn dbs.
offensively we missed a golden opportunity to work no huddle tempo sunday. One we likely wont get due to attrition thursday night. Thats just as frustrating as any one score ball game vs a mashed up cleveland.
