My Worst Fear of Tyreek and Tua

[Yoodakine56]

My worst fear actually should be everyones fear. Ok, now If Tua becomes the Bama version of himself, he will be spreading that ball around. So, Will Tyreek get uptight and discouraged, is he that "ME" type of player or is he a Team player?

Last year Waddle was the go to guy, obviously he was the one getting open and making plays, along with the help of Gesicki. Now we got 2 Speedsters, Cdub, g-sicks, e-zuks, and RBS to implement the ground game. The ball WILL go around if all goes to plan (and OL improves).

Remember what Jeudy, Ridley, Irv Smith, and Devonta bacame after Hurts was replaced by Tua?? Theres No doubt He helped their draft stock, not the legs of Jalen Hurts. Everybody eats!! I get it, the team will depend on Tyreek to take over a game or two, but Its not gonna always be a One man show. I guess we will see how things play out.

tyreek was upset after setting career highs in target and catches..

..but if that's the problem the Dolphins have then things are probably going pretty well so it's a pretty dumb thing to worry about.

Youre correct in that aspect

The force is strong with this one. Much sense, you make.

My worst fear is That The Cheetah will only score 8 touchdowns not the 15 I expect.

about the same thoughts, I've listened to all the podcast (didnt finish the Ross one cause work got busy and thats where i listen) but he has for like 3-4 seconds mentioned Jaylen and Mike G, but most of it is me me me. Even with Tua he said something around the lines of you know to look for me.

With us supposedly being a run first team, i can see maybe 20 completions a game. how many of those will it take to make tyreek happy. Especially considering 5 will probably go to backs. We cant ignore Waddle, because Waddle needs to be our 1A stud when tyreeks contract is up (assuming a decline in TH's production with age). this year if we dont feed Waddle enough, if might be okay, but 2023 we will definitely have to start looking JW's way just to make sure he can be THE alpha, not just our #1 WR.

TH and steve smith are too completely different personalities, but i know how much trouble Carolina QB's got into because feeling they had to force it to Smitty when nothing was there, even though they always had other offensive weapons. In a prayer or **** it situation, if he wants to chunk it up once in a blue moon, cool. BUt i dont want there to be an issue where he is trying to force it into a tiny window with Tyreek for a big gain when he has a 5 yard check down, or man to man with Mike G 10 yards down field, just cause every time on the sideline he keeps hearing in his ear "throw it to me, throw it to me"

I'm not really worried about any of that.

If the offensive staff is worth it's salt, where the ball goes, and how often will be dictated by game plans, play calls, reads and progressions. That is how an "elite" level offensive system works in the modern game. Tua (or any QB) needs to be more focused than to let huddle chatter affect how he goes about his job, and I believe that will be the case.

Now, if TH is unhappy with how he is being used, he can take it up with McD during the week. If we are losing, he may have a valid bitch, but if we are winning then he will just be seen as a whiner.

I agree with both of you. I'm excited to have Cheetah on the team. But, there will be some Cheetah drama at some point. That will hopefully go along with success in spreading the ball around. I've said many times that hill is a peac0ck and he loves him some attention. Waddle's going to get a lot of attention in the passing game. The good news for Hill is that McDaniel is very good at finding new interesting ways to use his weapons.

 

[Bob512]

I can only hope....the largest problem we have is that Tua is spreading the ball around too much and that Hill is upset he is only getting 10 touches a game.

 

[AL R]

Waddle would be the only one that I think would steal substantial catches from Hill. I think Hill will lead the team- if healthy all year.

 

[andyahs]

His huge contract will keep him a team player for a few years.

Good point.

I think that he wanted to show his worth to the Chiefs. If they offered him a $22-25mil per year contract we wouldn’t be hearing any of that. Now that he’s making 30 here we don’t have to worry about him complaining about stats. He knows that we as a team value him as a player. He is ultra competitive though. If we are losing, he will not be happy.

 

[Swiss]

Tyreek did some horrible things in his life. I'll have a hard time rooting for him as a Dolphins fan.

If he's complaining after making 30m because of the lack of some stats, who cares. He took the money over performance. He made his bed, now sleep in it.

I agree with the concern. Hill didn't complain publicly in KC when the offense shifted to Kelce, but allegedly he did complain internally. A Hill who is taking on more of a leadership role may be more inclined to be vocal. I do believe that a big reason he didn't complain was b/c KC was winning. Hopefully that same constraint will exist here.

I also think you made a good point about how Tua handled the very talented receiver room in Alabama. That experience will be valuable managing the weapons Miami has put together this off-season.
