It seemed worse than we've had all season. Was it really worse? Was Tua less decisive in his first outing than Fitz? Was it simply because it was the Rams D?

personally think it was the Rams D and the terrible play calls we ran all game long, it just didnt even look like our offense that we run under fitz... we tried to be too cute the whole game.

Once we got the multiple score lead Gailey’s mission was to show the cardinals absolutely nothing. Well mission accomplished as the Cardinal’s defensive coaches are going to be scratching their head and deciding whether to laugh or cringe when they watch the tape.
 
I think it was just a good front line D, I’ve watched that team all season and it’s their strength as a team. I wouldn’t worry about regressing just yet. Ebbs and flows of the season
 
Their defense outplayed our offense. Nobody on the offense played well, OL, WRs, RBs, Tua. They had a bad game. Hopefully they bring it next week.
 
The offensive line hasn’t been as effective as some would lead you to believe. They have not been an offensive line that has been able to open running lanes for the running backs. Fitzpatrick was able to move in the pocket and run for yardage so this weakness by the offensive line was not as apparent as it was yesterday.
This offensive line has been better at pass blocking than the lines in recent years for the Dolphins but there is still room for improvement in this area. To me the offensive line is still a work in progress and hopefully it will continue to develop as the season goes along. Adding a true top tier RB in the draft would also certainly help the line. At this time they don’t have a single RB on the team who can break tackles or is explosive on short yardage runs.
The Rams defensive front was certainly a major part of the problem in regards to the lack of production from the offense yesterday but that still doesn’t take away from the fact the offensive line probably played its worse game of the season yesterday. Thankfully the defense and special teams were able to
step up and lead the team to victory.
 
I think the 2nd quarter defensive onslaught hurt the Offensive output for Miami. The Rams ran more then double the plays than the Dolphins. Time of possession also hurt. But Miami was playing with a 3 score lead. Chan went conservative. Don't blame him. But still wasn't impressed by what the offense did with its opportunities. The Offensive Line play wasn't as stellar as in the past.
 
It’s trending down. Get Jackson back kick davis back to the right side and have more confidence you can run more down field schemes route wise.

I don’t much blame them for not having the most confidence with it the way this unit is playing of late.
 
In addition to the good Rams D, Tua didn't move as well in the pocket as Fitz, but that's obviously to be expected.
 
Lol you guys are funny. Our oline played great and outplayed their oline. We got pressure on them all day long.

We just handled the best defensive player in the league and the hottest defense. If you guys want much better than that, you wont be seeing it.

Very good assessment. Our pass blocking is above average but the run blocking hasn’t been great!
 
look, they clearly weren't amazing, but they only gave up the one sack. Of course, if they'd have sustained some drives and stayed on the field longer there might have been more.
