He has some short armsInstead of working on his noodle arm....what a bust.

Was thinking of that comp too. I would love to see some Russ in his game as wellI won’t be surprised one bit of he shows up this year looking like russell Wilson physically.
hopefully that brings a little more velocity to the table arm wise
For me it was how he responded in the second half of the arizona game last year.He did not give up and showed his heart and made me a believerTua’ s defining moment for me was when he chased down the dude saving a sure TD after Karras blunder Tua took off over over 50 yards and tackled him it was not a shoelace job either
He could have backed out of that situation but he Has a compete level that will define his career
I am not worried about TDs and completions they will come in bunches - the dude wasn’t supposed to be on the field and he is not playing afraid
He wins games who cares about the loser stats - loser stats are for losers winning is what he does
Just sad that members here (a lot of them longtime posters) have to keep posting negative **** all the time when it comes to Tua. Jesus people, give him this year at least to see what he's got. We're all Dolphins fans. Support the guy!
Spot on.i was critical of tuas play as a whole last season, and i feel like my critiques were all legit, he had some ups and plenty of downs and i feel i called it how i saw it on a weekly basis but i was never calling for us to move on from him after the small sample size and investment...the offense struggled, sometimes due to him individually but it also had to do with numerous other things as well
i continuously said i expected him to watch the film and admit that his play wasnt good enough and that he wouldnt make excuses about being surrounded by trash and that hed put in the work to improve his game
so im not surprised tua is putting in the work...i expect him to be improved in his grasp of the offense and be more comfortable which will lead to more confidence and he will play more fluid especially with more time removed from the injury...he now has 2 receivers with insane speed and a track record of getting good separation quickly and he is now THE guy so he should be able to take on the leadership role without feeling like hes stepping on Fitzpatricks toes who was liked by everyone...he should have more chemistry with his teammates
tua struggled last year, theres no problem with admitting it...but im also confident everything will be ok and tua will be better this season and will keep improving because he doesnt seem like the kind of guy to be complacent, he always wants to be the best and ultimately win
thanks bro...i really am confident tua will be much improved from last season, he saw the film and saw what we all sawSpot on.
A simple "like" was not enough to express how accurate of a statement that is.
some players skate by on their physical gifts, some guys were always bigger and stronger and faster than guys theyd go up against in high school and college and they get to the nfl and think they can still get by on that instead of refining their route running or whatever it may beReality is that while we would all like to imagine that the players on the team we root for are putting in a ton of extra work, the fact is that they don't all do that. And while it is his job, people put in different levels of effort regardless of the job. I am good at my job, but there are certainly others who work harder than me. I work hard, but I tend to go home and not think about the job much while others put in a ton of after hours, unpaid work.
Hearing that Tua is putting in the extra work is a real positive. It's not a surprise b/c he's always had that reputation, but it's still nice to hear. Those acting like it's just a fluff piece are naive as to what really happens on NFL teams. Almost all NFL players work hard. They are in the top 1% of their profession and few get there without a ton of hard work at least relative to 99% of the population. But even amongst those hard workers there are some who work harder. Certainly a guy like Brady would not have achieved what he has without out-working so many of his hard working contemporaries. So hearing that Tua may be living up to that reputation as a guy who might have that Brady-like level of determination is a very good thing and something that should make all Dolphin fans happy. Saying that any Dolphin fan who is happy to hear this is a fluffer is both juvenile and insulting.

Means nothing. We heard similar thing about Charles Harris couple years ago, and almost most of the high rounds in every team every year. It is just the fact.
I don't care what you do off season. Show me what you can do on the field
