- Andrew Van Ginkel will start this off, he had second longest fumble return TD in dolphins history. He nearly had an amazing pass deflection interception combo. He’s a player who has been flashing more consistently.
- Ogbah/Lawson combo both of these guys had huge strip sacks, awesome free agent signings.
- Wilkins another regular on my positive list, had a huge int, awesome play. He’s one of the most fun players to watch. His energy is infectious!
- Jakeem the dream, he’s good for one or two amazing special teams plays a year that makes up for all the muffs and annoying returns where he dances and loses yards.
- Coach Flo/ Josh Boyer, they were In Goff’s head all game, he was flustered early and our scheme is looking great. Pocket passers who can’t create plays off script are In trouble against us.
- Eric Rowe had a nice break on a ball for an Int.
- we move to 4-3 Tua got a win in his first start without having to do a whole lot. The narrative will be that he didn’t have a good game, and like everyone I was hoping for more, but honestly Tua was fine. Preston Williams dropped 2 or 3 balls, Gesicki dropped the deep ball that was an excellent throw (would have taken a spectacular catch to reel that In but we’ve seen him make those catches before), the strip sack was tough but that’s what Donald does, but for the most part Tua was solid in his first game
 
That deep pass to Gasiki was a nice ball out where he could get it and he didn’t. But it was a good throw

Yeah was probably one of the best plays of the game that was a big time throw, kudos to defender for getting his hand in there and breaking it up, but that was a big time throw

Gesicki makes that catch more often than not but the defender played it perfect
 
Here's a positive from Tua's mouth about that first offensive play:

"It was a good hit - that's football. Try to step up, make a throw, Aaron Donald swiped at the ball behind me and.....I don't know who the guy was that took me off my feet and... [laughs] ...pretty much body slammed me but hey that's football.
I'm not gonna lie - I did enjoy getting hit that first time - that was definitely a welcome."

Love it!

We've heard about Tua and his accuracy. For an uneven game it was a very positive thing to see some of those passes right on the money. ZIP as well. Not great but positive. Not worried about him at all. Sunday Night Football team said he looks the part and loved the Parker TD.

Yep, this post.
 
It's exactly what I expected from this coaching staff.
Play it safe for your franchise qb against a very good D

since the d-back had his hand in there trying to strip the ball out, i'm not calling that a drop on Mikey G.

In all fairness of my general feedback -- yes - that was a great throw! Just a great play by the DB.

I was very happy to see the kid attack that opportunity down field.

I think we will win more than we lose if we keep attacking!

I agree Nasty. They didn’t let the kid do anything really. They played it safe. I did see a few off throws by Tua but I need more than this game where they didn’t let him be him.
