It doesn't work. Keeps doing it.

 

[Todem]

This we have as a HC who just got extended mind you……keeps calling sweeps and pitches when we have been blown up every time just shows you how bad he is.

And another illegal shift.

We suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Illegal Shift, 3rd or 4th on this same set of Downs?

Great coaching man. McD is everyone’s friend.

Waddle catches a short crossing route, gets the FD and runs out of bounds, no absorbing of hits
Needs a breather and is on his knees on the sideline

Soft tissue paper.

 

[Bri]

That drive took forever.
Titans offense has to give defense a breather here

 

[PIK95]

How many more weeks before Tyreek melts down.

He was kinda melting down on the sideline tonight. Kinda funny watching the coaches try not to react

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Ty Huntley...Pat White 2.0

Christian Watson vibes, so so soft.

Safety is a perfect ending to the sitcom.

Good night gents.

How is that grounding?

 

[travdogg]

These kickoffs are REALLY stupid, doubly so for onside kicks.

 

[Dez]

WTF

 

[karl.Racki]

Nobody knows the rules for kickoffs.. Not even the refs

 

[belljr]

I'm even more confused about the onside kick now

 

[karl.Racki]

what do you expect.. NFL is really turning bad

 

[NutterButter]

Can't wait to hear offdee's thoughts on that onside kick

 

[Statorama]

So did the player do the right thing in that onside situation? If he went up to fair catch and muffed it….

 

[Statorama]

So who do the Dolphins trot out there at QB next week?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

The Titans belong to Mason Rudolph moving forward in '24
This is his team now

 

[General Malaise]

Under bettors just got worked with sandpaper lube. Jesus.

Johnny Football, it's time to start making phone calls
Still just 31 yrs old

Nice for people playing against Miami defense.

 

[doeseatplace]

Battle of kickers.

Winner!

 

[doeseatplace]

I really didn't want to bet this game, but when I looked at it again I noticed that the line opened TEN -1.0, and now has conveniently settled at the Akbar line.

Tyler Huntley is worth 3.5 points?

Gimme the Titans and the points, please

Winner

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Wk 1 Etienne
Wk 2 Cook had 3 TDs
Wk 3 Carbonnet had like 25 in PPR
Wk 4 Pollard TD and about 20 in PPR

Start your RBs against the Miami Dolphins

Punting an onside kick was an odd choice but the safety ....it was just odd

 

[Stinkin Ref]

didn't get to watch much....did a sniper get a positive kill on Achane......seriously what happened did he get hurt or something?

Spent a lot of snaps at slot WR, for whatever reason

 

[Ministry of Pain]

He led all RBs with 10 carries
They lost 31-12

 

[Ghost Rider]

I still have no clue how good of a coach McDaniel is. He has coached Tua up to look far better than most ever thought he'd look as a pro, but the Dolphins offense looks like total trash when Tua doesn't play, and he isn't that great to where the offense should be totally dysfunctional without him. Strange.

It was as I guessed beforehand. A lot of (illegal)shifts and runs predictably to the outside or racing to the sideline. The Titans were plenty ready for that as their two backs often do the same thing.

He's so clever he forgets simple stuff works.
I think Mostert's bullish runs help that offense wayyyy more than anything else.

The Titans are often guilty of the same but they were actually running up the middle some

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Pollard goes from 10 carries for 20 yards to 11 carries for 61 yards. Suddenly he goes from bum to a nice night.

And of course Spears gets the TD on my bench.

22/88, 2/20 and a TD, 100+yd bonus in a few of my redrafts
Pollard has started to settle in as a solid RB2
18-15-5(dud)-18, pretty strong numbers in a bad offense
19th overall at RB, he's 1 slot ahead of Bijan at the moment

The late TD turned it from a nice game to a good game. They've shown they will use both backs when milking a lead and keep it out of the QBs hands. 22 carries for Tony. 15 for Tajae. 21 attempted passes all game. Not sure how many leads they will have this year though.

This is why your backup needs to be a like for like swap. Thompson was a stupid choice for a backup and Huntly isn't anymore help unless you are going to change to an RPO offense. They should have signed Mac Jones as the backup given Tua's injury history. Time to go scorched earth and burn it all down. Convince Tua to retire with a nice injury settlement, trade Tyreek, Phillips and Ramsey and take whatever you can get, pennies on the dollar fine. Go 1-16 or 2-14 get the top pick and trade it for multiple picks because I'm not convinced there is a can't miss QB in this next draft. Build the o-line, suck again and have ammo to move up in 2026. Maybe unlike coach lawsuit McDaniel would buy in.

It doesn't matter. Mac Jones might lead the Dolphins to a somewhat worse draft pick, but he's not leading them to a playoff spot. So what's the point?

For most teams, "backup QB" just isn't an important position, because they are 100% screwed if their starter goes down, so why bother worrying about it? (I definitely include my team in that category.)

In this case you are correct, but let's say Tua had a bad ankle sprain and was going to miss two games or a game and a half. Mac Jones or another QB whose best trait is their accuracy might keep you in the race for a couple games. Heck even if you are going to draft one late to be the back up get a guy with some of the traits your starter has. Bridgewater was the right idea but he was an injury wreck as well. The Ravens are a perfect example, they always have a guy that has some of the same traits as Lamar, are they as good...no, but they don't need to change the whole offense.

 

[Rubi]

So I guess even the fins defense misses Tua

 

[NutterButter]

Until Grier, McDaniel and Tua are shown the door, I have little hope of good things happening for this organization. So I'll just wait until that day comes to renew my optimism.

Strange.

The offense is apparently so complex that only like 6 qbs in existence can run it. Which begs the question why you'd implement such an offense with an injury prone qb. It probably has something to do with it being the only type of offense where tua can succeed. And when I say succeed, its mostly success attained against inferior opponents.
