McDaniel heres an important Hint

I said in in another thread. I think some of these new generation coaches get too caught up in analytics. If there's eight in the box, as an example, they are going to pass the ball. I think sometimes that plays to the defense's advantage knowing how a coach will respond to different formations.

Anyway, I think sometimes you've just got to go with what's working. Miami had 100 yards rushing in the first quarter alone. That right side of the line was pretty consistently getting a nice push. Kudos to Hunt, Shell and Williams in the middle.

I really believe Miami could have rushed for 250 plus if they just stuck with it.

Totally agree with this. You have to react to conditions on the field, as well. You can’t just react to the defensive formation. The conditions were favoring running the ball late in the game. A major fail by our play-caller.

McDaniel gave up on the run in the 4th quarter and it might have cost him the game. With the lead, he decides to run it only three times in the final quarter. Bad decision and bad football.

This is the most ridiculous take leveled at McDaniel since last night. It's ridiculous, really. Everyone accusing McD of getting cute, and now not wanting to win. He calls the most aggressive, go for the throat offense this team has seen since Marino, and maybe since the beginning. Like all of you, I would have liked some runs on the third and shorter downs, but I completely understand why he called the passes. He is calling a step ahead of the defense and simply isn't afraid of making the best call for lack of execution. The third down pass calls weren't necessarily wrong, we just failed to execute them.

The running game was effective, yes, but when the defense goes all in on the run, you pass the ball. Buffalo went all in on the run. I ask you all, this season, how many 3rd and short pickups have we converted with the run game when the defense was playing run? Is Mostert's strength short between the tackles running? Are the best players on this offense our backs, or our receivers? In 3rd and short, how successful are stretch or sweep plays?

Again, I understand wanting to stick with the run, but to act like it was stupid not to is simply not taking the situation, defense, and the player strengths into account. Perhaps you would prefer the old 3 yards and a cloud of dust offense of the Wannstedt days, or maybe the Colts awesome running game against the Vikings yesterday that saw them lose the biggest comeback in NFL history? My bet is if we ran and came up short on two of those, you would be screaming about how we didn't get the ball to Tyreek who is our best player and then decry Tua because Allen was throwing just fine.

It's hilarious. We've been terrible running from 3rd and short ALL YEAR and now everyone is complaining we tried to pass
 
You run the play you feel gives you the best shot to get the 1st down, based on the situation and the defensive allignment you expect to face. On 3 and 1 with 8 or 9 defenders at the line of scrimmage , I'm not overly confident in Miami's oline and running game. We don't dominate teams on the ground in short yardage situation, so I have no problem with throwing the ball sometimes in that situation. But those are situations where it would be great to have a te or rb you can just hit on a flare or quick arrow route.
 
I really think people are putting way too much weight in those 3rd and short calls tbh... By the looks given by the D, the decision came down to either trust Hill or Waddle to win a 1-1 matchup or trust the whole OL and the RB to not **** up. People act like trusting his best players to do what they do best was a stupid decision. I'm sorry but this OL hasn't earned the right to be called any kind of reliable on 3rd and short runs. But that's just me.

Didn’t get a chance to watch the game live. But man Mosert was on fire and SADLY! The coach didn’t ride that hot hand.

Especially on those 3rd and short type routes.

I think if you take his top 3 runs away, i probably averaged <4 ypc.

People are looking at the averages, and that doesn't really translate into "we need two yards and they know it" situations.

You have to realize what is going on in the game. At that point the Bills were getting away with PI almost on every throw. Miami was running the ball well. At some point when other things aren't working you have to try something else. Mickyd didn't try anything but the same stupid play over and over and over again.

It gave me flashes of that playoff game a few years ago when he was on the 49ers.

I think McDaniel has a chart on Mostert and wants him around 15 carries. Seriously, he should have got 25 in this game.

Really....

Think he had around 64 ish yrds FIRST two runs. then finished game with much more carries and few more yardage. McD stuck on old pattern IMO and not willing to change (ego).

We should have kicked there ass... JMO
