Dolphins Laughter Echoes Throughout the League

[T-RO]

Post-Brady it's not impressive to beat the Patriots.

I agree it's not impressive to beat their team. It is impressive, however, to scorch their defense.

 

[T-RO]

Fins are not only whupping teams, they are leaving them psychologically damaged.

Fans & media wanting their coaches fired
Players questioning their scheme and coaching
Players questioning each other
Players questioning themselves

Consider some of these numbers, through 3 games...

Tua sacked:
Once

All Dolphin Drives (31)
TDs: 17
FG attempts: 6 (4 made)
Punts: 4
Turnovers: 3
Turnover on downs: 1

Miami has scored a TD or got a FG attempt in 74% if their drives. Most drives are TD drives.

10% of the time they stopped themselves w/turnovers.

16% of the time defenses stopped them

My Cowboys lost to the stinkin' Cardinals, but at least they didn't lose 70 to 20. LOL. Thanks, Broncos, for the Schadenfreude.

Defenses don't get credit for turnovers now?

24 points is scorching a defense?
They're an extremely good offense. But you're a little loose on the facts.

No defense doesn't get credit for fumbled snaps. I believe there might have been one interception. Not sure about their third turnover.

Vs. Pats
Fins had 3 TD drives
3 FG drives (two missed)
Shoulda been 30 points and that on road @New England.

That's the same opposing coach who shut down 'Greatest Show on Turf' and made life hard on Reid-Mahomes and many other top offenses.

No credit for blocking fgs either?
No credit for keeping them to a long, lower pct fg attempt?

They gave up 24. Forced punts, got an interception, blocked a fg....but "scorched."

Not how it works.

NE had a shot to win at the end with 17 pts. That doesn't happen when the defense is scorched.

Reid/Mahomes put up 31 pts in a half.

The folks that created and operate the highly respected DVOA metric say that the Dolphins not only have posted the best offensive start in league history...but that their start blows away all others they have recorded in decades. This, according to their metrics.

Yawn. The 2007 Pats were getting the same kind of kudos. Did they win it all?

You really are nuts about Tua. HE is playing great right now but I doubt he can keep it up. Your claiming he is all world after three games is such a joke.

 

[T-RO]

Your claiming he is all world after three games is such a joke.

I acknowledge your post.

Let's hope someone figures out how to scheme up playing against them before or while Dallas does.

Purdy in his 49er system is very good. Same with Hurts in Philly. Tua has the most unique new system and four of the fastest playmakers on the planet.

 

[T-RO]

NBC Sports:

"The top six fastest speeds by ball carriers this season all belong to the Dolphins: Hill and Archane yesterday, followed by Hill’s 47-yard catch in Week One at 21.66mph, followed by Raheem Mostert’s 43-yard touchdown in Week Two at 21.62 mph, followed by Hill’s 35-yard touchdown in Week One at 21.52 mph, followed by another Archane run yesterday at 21.50 mph."​

You can't sack Tua. He sets up faster than anyone. His read and delivery is faster than anyone. Time after time he'll have free rushers, unblocked rushers coming straight at him and he simply gets the ball out before it matters.

Did I mention he has two receivers also faster than anyone? Tua's got the brightest offensive coaching in the league dialing everything up. McDaniel utterly embarrassed Staley week one, who had stymied him the year before. Left Staley scalded and naked on the street corner. Burned the Chargers down.

Oh and versus the Pats? The genius Belichick who always creates templates on how to beat teams had ***no answer***. Miami had their way again. Tua is 5-0 against the Pats. These guys owns Bill.

The only time the Fins have failed to score is when they stop themselves. Almost never punt. And the Fins have defense too! Two great pass rushers, sound roster with a superior defensive coordinator in Vic Fangio. And when injured Jalen Ramsey returns? Yikes! No team is as scary as Miami right now. No team on the planet.

The only thing I see stopping the Fins from Super Bowl victory is some cheap shot that gives Tua another massive concussion. They are crazy good.

It won’t take a cheap shot. At this point dude is made of glass.

One hit that rings his bell upstairs could change everything not just for the season, but perhaps his career. For now he's standing and balling.

I guess its hard to put yourself in his place as regards the risk he is taking with the rest of his life by continuing to play. But anyone that makes it to that level has such a huge ego and self confidence that maybe it is not that surprising.

The most interesting non-Cowboys game of the weekend:

Bills
Fins
