Props to Tua on GW Drive

[Delvin]

I knew this play was familiar. Check this video out.



Very similar play, built off the same concept.

@Delvin, after watching this video, I take back what I said. It looks like the throw to the slant was really built in to the RPO play. Seems like a pre-snap box count (8 in the box) led to Tua throwing to Parker on the quick slant.

It might not have been an audible per se, but still giving props to Tua for executing the play efficiently.

Thanks for the video. Agreed on the props.

MEDIA

So what is your point here?

So what is your point here?

THAT YOU CAN’T COMPARE A SECOND YEAR PLAYER TO A ROOKIE………
IT’S APPLES TO ORANGES…….
Why is that so hard to understand whether the media said it or not.

So you ordered a Mac Jones jersey? Got it.

"The trophy in the mail" was just a snarky response to "Too bad he had a bad QB rating or we would have won that game..." I'm not slinging crap, I'm just replying to it. There's no need for conversations to degrade into the mud, but certain folks want to bring it there. So be it.

Like I said, good play by Tua. I'm glad it was built in. I'm glad Tua was smart enough to see the defense and go to it. Well done.

thats fair enough for me

While it was a great thing to make that call and ice the game, the amount of credit some people want to give for throwing a wide open slant route is pretty amazing.

I'm not taking away from Tua, im fine with where Tua is as long as he keeps getting better, but his army is a bit annoying.

I feel like Ryan Tannehill didn't even get that option or power until his third or fourth season.

Even still, I feel like Tannehill would have done the opposite. I feel like Tua deserves props for this. He read the defense and opted for the kill. Who would not like that??

 

[BlueFin]

Too bad he had a bad QB rating or we would have won that game...

Don’t worry…we got lucky and got a fumble and won anyway!

 

[SuperMarksBros.]

Checks out of a run and into a slant that he executed perfectly to help ice the game.

Dude sucks.

I don't particularly care if you care or not. I'm here to make accurate statements about the Dolphins abd discuss opinions. If someone doesn't care about that, they aren't my intended audience anyway because it means they are disingenuous.

I wouldn’t use the media as support, it’s apple’s to oranges. Obviously a second-year player is going to have an advantage and that’s not even debatable.

Did you even read his first post? He was saying that the media is acting like Jones is the best Alabama QB even though he was 1of 4 in the red zone and the other 2 combined was 5 of 5. I'm confused on what you don't understand.

That's what they say! New England's mistakes allowed the Dolphins to win. However, it was New England setting Tua up to do what Tua does that nearly netted them the hard-earned victory...

lol I mean he says it's apples and oranges to compare mac the rookie to 2nd year Tua and Hurts, because they have the advantage of one extra year to be better in the red zone. Ok but he probably thinks Mac is better than both...ok fine but if that's the case, why wasn't he more effective in the red zone than they are?
