Tua Week One All 22 Review

Looks fair to me. Only thing I would add is he looks stronger/healthier than last year, IMO...just gotta get his head right.

I agree, Flores really did a number on Tua and his mental state. When you’re always looking over your shoulder because of the Watson situation or at the risk of getting pulled it messes with your mental health. I just hope Flores didn’t screw him up to the point of no return, but I think Tua is strong willed and smart he shall overcome.

We usually give give it a few weeks but we have seen enough already / we have 2 years of film so…

2 years of Flo the rat messin with the Tua and the O

This is no more than the floor of the 2022 season playing against what was a top 5 D last season. MM gave the Pats a lot of respect not even trying to score in the last minute.

So then based on a vanilla scheme that did just enough but still gave the Pats fits (running the O thru Hill for the league to see) the consensus was same old Tua lol

Not even close to what we are about to see

This week I expect the O to feature some of Hill but a lot more touches for Waddle. MM has a lot to work with maybe he goes to the backs more looks this week Mostert / Edmunds with a run game like ours yeesh

Let the head games begin MM
 
Tua is now in a great environment to learn and improve. The article highlighted his tendency to lock on to targets in some situations, but we have to consider this is week 1. I'm sure McDaniel will point out where he missed some opportunities for big plays in film study. If we see these kind of things happening in game 5 and on, then there's cause for worry in my opinion. For now let's see how things play out the next few games. Great litmus test coming in Baltimore this weekend. You know Lamar is going to bring his A-game. Let's see if we can steal a win on the road vs a tough opponent. Fins up!

Like most here, I was surprised how "vanilla" the O looked. One (forced) run by TT. No screens. TEs almost ignored. None of the exotic blocking schemes I expected in the run game. Deep shots to TH, Waddle, Wilson nearly nonexistent. Not the 'wide-open' O I was expecting. I hope that was due to 'not showing much' and not 'this is us.'

It's not really a wide open offense. It's more running and some play action to create space for playmakers whether it's short or downfield.

Tua bounced a TD pass at the goal line on a rollout under 1 minute when he could have laid down in bounds. They were trying to score.

Well you said MM wasn't try to score under a minute, and the fact Tua threw a TD pass at the goal line makes that false.
 
I was and still am huge fan of Tua but there are still glaring issues that I am not sure he is going to be able to overcome. I think he will have a decent year this year but you need a top 5 QB in this league to be consistent in a parody driven league. I am coming to the gripes he isn't that QB. All of this talk from his personal trainer this year about how he has physically improved. It looked like the exact same Tua. Honestly almost worst physically. The hip injury I think just took too much from him.

It’s a little over your head that they were getting precious snaps against live bullets

And did not tack on 3 to give them a 14 point two TD cushion

Meaningless points the game was over — - taking snaps however was meaningful at the juncture considering how little started faced live bullets in preseason

So again he didn’t go for 3

Or you want to argue that too?
