Not that Tua doesn't deserve our love.
BUT
How about a little love for Brandon Jones.
The difference in that game was the scoop and score by Shaq Lawson.
Check the video- that one Cardinals offensive lineman is in a position to make the tackle, or shove Lawson out of bounds.
And then Jones comes in with a block that springs Lawson the rest of the way.
Great play by a rookie who has been active, and a pretty good tackler.
I just thought, with all the focus on Tua, we should just shout out to some of the little things, something that may have even won the game.
If Lawson gets shoved out of bounds, there are no guarantees after that that we score.
 
You can tell the Dolphins are a good team because everyone, coaching, offense, defense, special teams is going the extra mile to help get the win.

They are firing on all cylinders and they are only getting started.
 
Oh yeah he is an all effort team first dude. I noticed it in real time he flew up and chipped the dude to spring the play.

He is a great tackling and super intelligent DB. And think he has already bought into the program Flores sells. That’s a lethal combo.

Didn’t notice Davis but would love to see some video of him.
 
Hate the phrase but we got a lot of "RKGs" Right Kind of Guys now.

Got rid of the divas over the years and/or had guys buy in. The draft classes so far have guys who do the dirty work and less guys who try to make an individual play that creates more negatives than positives.
 
Unrelated but seems like a fair place to ask the question. I'm a terrible judge of linemen on either side...how are we feeling overall about the Wilkins pick from last year?
 
Brandon Jones - Huge block, looking like a gamer.
Byron Jones - How you let someone rip that interception out of your hands for a touchdown? C'mon man.
but that TD should have been incomplete. Now way he had that ball before he was out of bounds. The officials screwed that one.
