Older shirt and the older hat but I’m telling you your boy even got sweat even got dolphin sweatpants we got everything we got hoodies we got t-shirts we got beanies I got everything and I even got a huge upgrade that’s going to be happening to the studio um yeah so it’s something I’ve

Been waiting on plotting on and the wifey came through and pulled it out so we’re going to have an upgrade right we’re going to have you know listen I know everyone loves the background I know everyone loves the look it’s original in terms of in this community

But we’re going to switch it up too we’re going to we’re going to mix some looks some background looks in with what you see right now and I just got the first the first big step towards the next one so I can’t wait to unveil that

When the time is right because I got to do a few things to set it up and get everything right and get ready for that baby to go up so man can’t wait to share all that with you guys and hey if you didn’t know remember last week your boy

Rezon pulled that Dan Marino downtown well I I kept a hobby box of prestige H2 and I said you know what I bought to them and I was like let me keep one for Christmas Eve let me keep one for Christmas Eve what did your boy pull after we beat the Dallas

Cowboys that’s a number two a tongue of aloa right there that is a numbered two a tongue of aloa out of 249 and then head of the Box uh Jackson Smith in jiga Draft Day on card signature man The Vibes were real after we won yesterday now I know I had

Promised all well I hadn’t promised I said to y’all I have something in the works it’s still going to probably happen this week we’re originally planning to drop it yesterday but man between Christmas parties and listen I’m going to tell you be honest with you your boy from 900 p.m. till about 1:00

A.m. was putting together a kitchen for my youngest and it was no joke and I I end up come up the boys and I said listen it’s 1:00 a.m. too late you think and they’re like oh for sure so family time came first and had to do daddy

Duties and that’s where we’re at so uh hey man listen at the end of the day I hope all y’all had an amazing Christmas it’s it’s it’s the gift that keeps on giving if y’all haven’t seen it if y’all didn’t know the Kansas City Chiefs in one of the most pathetic

Displays I’ve ever seen the Kansas City Chiefs just lost ladies and gentlemen that means Kansas City will have a Wonder in one finish Miami assured of finishing no lower than the number two seed if if Miami finishes one and one over these final two games we will be no

Lower than the number two seed now the Dolphins can clinch the number one seed by winning out or if we win at Baltimore next week Baltimore loses at San Fran tonight and if Cleveland loses to the Jets next week we clinch the one seed without even having to play the

Bills so there you go if the Ravens lose tonight and the Dolphins beat the Ravens next week and then the Jets beat the Browns then the Dolphins clinch the one seed without even having to play in the final week ladies and gentlemen how good is it

It feel to even talk about that scenario after what we’ve been through how good does it feel ladies and gentlemen we are three and one in December fresh off a tu a tongue of aloa game-winning Drive how good does that feel we’re going to get into those

Narratives in a second here but I’m just saying how good does that win feel yesterday listen I know we were all stressed you had your boy down on his knees praying to the Lord if you saw the live reaction you saw it Santa’s a Dolphin fan that’s what we

Know that’s what we know and now let’s go handle our business heading into the new year next New Year’s Eve right now just worry about what’s in ahead of you TCB baby take care of business that’s all you can do right now and that’s all you should should do right

Now but man we’re watching something special we are I don’t even want to you know like we are watching something special we’ve got our coach we’ve got our franchise quarterback it’s a beautiful thing right now it is an absolute beautiful thing I mean this is what we’ve waited for

People this is what that rebuild so many years that tear down and rebuild back in 2019 it led us to this point it was a slow burn there’s no doubt about it but that tear down and that rebuild L us to this point and I want you to think about

This I want you to think about this just for one second either one of two things imagine either we had McDaniel the whole time for Tua where would we be right now or two even if we did have Flores for that first run imagine if we had a comp competent offensive

Coordinator that understood how to utilize two his skill sets that understood how to build an offense imagine where we’d be right now imagine that’s a real that’s a real thought right there you think about it man you can say flores or whatever but that offense Gody studesville Chan Gilly

That set us back off offensively you know it really did Imagine where we would be right now imagine imagine where two his growth and development as a quarterback would be right now it’d be unreal it’d be unreal but say Lai it is what it is

Don’t ever let it be what it ain’t and living in the moment that Slow Burn has got us to the point that slowburn you listen the resiliency all these players have shown X Jaylen Phillips to aong of aloa it’s built character for these players what they went

Through and I truly think they’re ready for this moment I really truly believe that but oh boy oh boy oh Silent Night across the land of Tua haters yesterday huh oh silent night man not a creature with stirring not even a mouse really why because TOA just led a game-winning drive against

The Dallas Cowboys shutting all the haters mouth I love it I put up a TW the Night Before Christmas little poem yesterday up on uh Twitter um I’ll be doing my takeaways for those of you who follow me on Twitter I’ll be doing it tonight I just spent the morning with

The fam you know I was just man it was it was a long night a long morning had a nap here we are so I’ll be posting those later tonight listen again I gotta say Merry Christmas to each one of you all right now before we start breaking everything

Down I got to do it I got to do it we got to give out the Jabron of the week and I mean I’m sorry you know it is what it is this is just how it is and this shows you how objective I am because I think this is like the second

Time this year it’s either the second or third second I think Jabron of the week I’m in there right I’m in there I’m sorry anyone who doubted Jason Sanders including me we are the jabronies of the week that’s just that’s what it is I don’t know what to say I mean you I’m

Going to sit up here and lie to you guys am I going to sit up here and lie to you guys I don’t think so not going to do it not going to do it and this is a real talk I mean I don’t know what to tell

You uh Jabron the week anyone who doubted Jason Sanders including me including me I’m not gonna lie to you I’m not even gonna lie I’m not going to sit here and I’m not gonna lie we are all jabronies today all right we are all jabronies today it’s just the fact of the

Matter anyone who doubted Jason Sanders including me is a Jabron of the week I’m sorry the colonel came through and I ain’t talking about KFC baby I got to keep it a buck I mean we could go Colin coward we could go Shannon sharp after the things

They said this week but let’s be honest with ourselves who is the MVP of yesterday defensively you know AVG in the running yesterday Syer in the running CER in the running yesterday but overall the game MVP is Jason Sanders I mean it’s not even close I mean it just

Is all right like Jason Sanders is the first player in Miami Dolphins history to make three 50 plus yard field goals in a game Jason Sanders is the fourth NFL player to make three 50 plus yard field goals in a game this season but just the second to do so

Outdoors Indianapolis is Matt gay made four in a game at Baltimore on September 24th what can I say to that what can I say to this man shout out to Jason Sanders that’s all I can say that’s all I can say to Jason Sanders is shout out to Jason Sanders

I’ll wear it I got no problem being the Jabron of the week when we win all day I’ll take it every single day let’s go let’s go see I told y’all not only can I make light of it but I’m happy when I’m wrong because when I’m wrong it’s

Usually positively works out for our team now I’ll say I’ve said it before I’ll say it again it doesn’t happen very often but when it does somehow we usually even benefit from me being wrong well hey there you go right I think I was that was the

Second one wasn’t that the second one I think was ikenberg the other one I don’t know but there was another time I think that’s the second time that Z are been Chon of the week it is what it is I’ll take it Patrick says love that we’re winning but

Does the offensive Red Zone scoring issues concern you at all particularly when we have to pass I’m blaming it on the o line says Patrick um terano shout out to Patrick terano that’s his first super donation on a live stream I appreciate that um yeah because I think it comes down to play

Calling I think it comes down to play calling um you know it’s not just the offensive line I think it comes down to play calling now we’ve seen flashes of McDaniel I mean we saw it last week where he ran the ball three straight times and third time was a

Charm Raheem pumped it in now we’ve seen it right but the the problem here is like okay I’ll give you a perfect example I called it out during the stream I’ll call it out again you’re on Hard Knocks knocking yourself for calling these Fades what do you

Do what do we do when we get inside calling here a fade is Cedric Wilson like you know I don’t know like I’ve said this before once we get inside that 15 10 yards the most creative thing I I’ve seen them run is where we line up

The running back in the back field out of the shotgun and the the running back will shoot out like he’s either going to run a swing out or he’s going to run a wheel but then he cuts on a dime and then he comes back across the field on an angle

Route that or the flick right that forward flick we’ve seen them do those are the only two really creative things I’ve seen us do inside the red zone that would give me pause as a defensive coordinator other than that especially when we get inside the five we’re we’re not good inside the

Five we are just not good inside the five right now we kind of lack creativity in play calling um we kind of in terms of play calling as well we we’re kind of obvious um um and then you know are we the play like I’d be running

So many like Bunch sets like just run a whole bunch of bunch you know run Bunch stuff and and let let the two over top let the two over top routes out of the bunch release something over the middle underneath like a drag or something I don’t know right or you

Know when you CS go heavy set run it really medicate in the game like we’re going to run it you know score on a heavy set then get back down there and run a heavy set again run a heavy goal line set and then play action and

Bootleg it to the opposite side and someone’s wide open and two has just got like here’s the thing when two is making throws inside the five they’re never easy have you noticed that you never see us okay Bo we sell the defense based off keys to the other side then bootle it

The other way and either a tight end or a full back or a running back chips and leaks out and two is just got to we we never right how many times you see a guy running wide open in the corner of the End Zone on like an out route or a dig

That came across and he’s just open on the other side very rarely two’s either got to get out and make a playoff platform on the run or he’s got to make a tight window throw or he’s got to throw a perfect fade over his shoulder you don’t see guys getting

Open a lot in the red zone I think for all the speed we have we lack creativity when that gets condensed you you know it is like and I say this all the time we paid Eng gold why are we not running fullback Dives line up in the eye formation line up a

Heavy eye everyone thinks you’re going to Raheem line up in a heavy eye boom ingled up the middle what what are we doing right or again heavy eye fake the hand off to Raheem ingold looks like he’s a lead on the fake chip leak out boom inold I mean

When we ever see anything like that and this is basic stuff like I’m not I’m not out here redefi like you know redefining what a red zone offense is with these ideas but it’s like from the 20 well from the 10 from the you know from the

From our zero to their 10 from our you know goal line all the way to their 10 we can use that speed but once we get inside once we get inside the 10 now it becomes about play design play structure you got to manufacture space a little

Bit more to get Guys open and we’re just not good at that right now sorry that’s a long drawn out answer for you but I mean that’s just what the deal is Captain Charisma Christian Cage says Butch Barry’s the real MVP right now respect I mean listen I’ve

Said this before I tweeted out weeks ago can a positional coach win coach of the year I know they can’t it’s a head coach but if they could Butch Barry gets my vote 110% 110% and I agree with this actually see giki and Tua built chemistry giki’s

Best years came under Tua and I brought this up before this is why I’m going to hammer Omar when he comes up here next time because what he said makes no sense when he kind of gave me this his eyes and his looks the same ones he gave poar

When I suggested about us having a tight end as that third option we don’t threaten the seams we can go even further did you notice Durham SMI the plays we got threatening the seams with Durham did you see the conversions we got 18 19 yard pickups with smite threatening the scenes a

Little yesterday you notice that did you see that now imagine if we had a a tight end who offered you something after the catch I’m just saying because what has to have shown you go back historically when Preston Williams went down when Devonte Parker went down when these guys

Went down giki came was another one option then the Lin bounds and and and such got worked in behind that but that’s when he started using his tight endend that’s when he started really picking it up I’m just saying I’m just saying listen I don’t think Luke Lea is

Going to come out maybe because of the injury I don’t know but I would be going after the Iowa tight end I’d be trying to get a tight end in here and you don’t again you don’t got to break the bank man that’s why I was so on board with

Zack hers now sure he’s not what he was but if you could get him for like a three or four game stretch at his healthiest to help you down the line man that’s huge he would be huge because he could block and he could get out now if he’s

Not healthy enough then I don’t know but I’m just saying you add that tight end you can now threaten the seams and you got a big body I mean perfect example remember the Detroit game last year remember the Detroit game last year who remembers that back who remembers that

End zone throw that touchdown from Tua to giki you remember that tu went through like three or four reads then came back to giki and made that ridiculous throw to the back of the end zone y’all remember that who remembers that oh man I’m telling you if you can find

A tight end that can block but has that athleticism to offer you something after the catch runs his routes better than geki cuz geki was a very lazy route Runner that’s why he couldn’t separate um I’m just saying no that was the Lions game Barry that was the lions

That was the Lions game go back and watch the Lions game back of the end zone gaseki that was a ridiculous throw from Tua you know hey I’m down with Chase Claypool I keep telling y’all they’re cross training Claypool to learn a lot of stuff with isak’s going to

Do man Brock Bowers guys don’t get me started there’s no way Brock Bowers going top 15 there’s no way there’s no way we don’t stand a chance if we got Brock Bowers Brock Bowers would get a gold jacket in this offense and I’m not even exaggerating Brock Bowers would be

A gold jacket tight end in this offense he would be ridiculous he would be ridiculous I’m telling you man o that would be n if we get a tight end that’d be nasty and there’s guys there tavien Sanders Kate Stover again I don’t know if Luke Lea is going to come out

Because of the injury but there’s tight ends out there this draft and God boys boys boys and girls if we didn’t if this yacht stuff never happened imagine if we had Sam leaport oh please please right now our offense would be unstoppable oh sit down Tyreek it’s okay you could take some days

Off all right before we get into updates from yesterday and everything let’s talk about this let’s talk about this all right the Miami Dolphins silenced so many haters yesterday look at the narratives the the Miami Dolphins are frauds right my Tua can’t throw the Deep ball 250 yard backto back poent one should

Have been taken to the house the other one was for 50 yards 250 Plus potential backtack dimes from Tua and we got to talk we’re going to talk about it in a bit here with a segment we’re going to show what Shannon said about it said can beat a team over 500

Boom Tua can’t handle the big pressure the big moments well the offense let the Cowboys stick around and what happened we could have punched that ball in if we wanted to yesterday we could have punched that ball in for six if we wanted to Tua can’t win with Tyreek did it the week

Before Tu a Tong of had over had nine receivers yesterday like three and one in December off a game-winning to a tongue of aloa drive and yet I was told we don’t win games in December that’s what I was told everyone told me that we don’t win games in

December we’re no good in December to can’t win the big one in December well all the pressure from people in this fan base from the media it was all thrown on his shoulders I’m just you know just saying playoff birth clinched first seed in the AFC and Striking

Distance a lot of Nar got killed with one game yesterday now people try to move those goal post and push them to the Ravens game I get it so this is um you know the Miami Dolphins they shut a bunch of of all y’all up people talking about how we stood no

Chance how you know we were going into the game how we we were just there no chance they can win this game they’re screwed heading into this game and what happened what happened narrative’s dead bury them bury them the Dolphins are 25 and 10 in the

Last 35 games started by Tu a tongue of aloa it’s the third best win percentage by any starting NFL QB in that span only Herz and Mahomes have a better win percentage two is 20 and5 at home in his career that’s the best home win percentage by any active NFL

QB remember when we lost the bills what did I say got to get home field just saying the Miami Dolphins silenced a whole bunch of people last night a whole bunch of people and it was beautiful to watch it was so beautiful to watch I know the relief that was felt across

This fan base felt like a collective weight came off our Collective shoulders I know exactly how it felt but we ain’t done what are people going to say when we beat the Ravens this week because you know it’s coming you know it’s coming baby you know we’re beating the

Ravens then what’s it going to be because it can’t be the bills we beat the bills at home last year like what do we have to prove at home last year to the bills what do we have to prove at home against the bills we beat them last year

And guys they’re killing these narratives without three starting offensive lineman with a banged up receiving corpse Hills banged up Waddles banged up you know I think you saw a lot of Jeff Wilson usage yesterday because aan and moard are a little banged up too then you go on the flip side

Defensively no Jerome Baker X is banged up Ramsay he’s what seven eight weeks he’s only been back for seven or eight weeks rayquan Davis dealt with a fractured wrist for the first month of the season like what they’re doing it makes it even more amazing that we’re doing this with

The injuries makes it even more amazing and it’s even further Testament to this coaching staff listen I can have my gripes about McDaniel’s play calling all I want but he was right about fanjo he’s right about Butch Barry overall look at what we’ve got out of this team with the injuries

The old Dolphins under Flores under gase under whoever you want to name we would have been lucky to finish with nine wins with all the injuries we had this year who are we lying to right now Dolphins would have folded yesterday when they got down 20 to 19 it would have been a

Wrap same thing with that Panthers game earlier this year when we got down 14 nothing the old Dolphins would have done one or two things they would have either lost or they would have played down to the Panthers level and barely beat the Panthers instead they blew him

Out and what’s even more amazing if you look at tyre’s numbers if you look at tua’s numbers remember two has over 4,200 yards now guys how many fourth quarters have we not played how many fourth quarters have Tua and Tyreek in the offense been out Tyreek would have passed

2,000 Tua would have had a real shot at 5,000 if we would have continue to play out fourth quarters we’ve missed two I believe it’s two or three right we’ve missed two or three fourth quarters that’s like a potential another 150 yards for Tyreek minimum and that’s

Probably you know at least another 200 yards for two 100 each right probably around you know 200 yardish to would be sitting around 4,500 yards right now probably just saying think of how much more this could be and that leads us into this but again

Before we get into it I said it before I’ll say it again whenever everyone was wanting us when everyone was flipping out over us losing a game early in the season when everyone was losing their minds and I kept saying yo I don’t want to win everything right now I want this

Team to start peing I said week 14 I was off by a week because we we beat the Jets in 15 and then now 16 so I guess a week whatever F you I said give us so week eight when the people were saying the defense sucks and I was dead on with

That like a week off with the peaking potentially have the Miami Dolphins peaked at the at the potentially perfect time for a playoff run if we beat the Ravens I’m saying yes this is what it’s about peing at the perfect time look at where we are right

Now look at where we are right now all right we’re allowing as a defense we’re allowing 20.9 points per game that’s like 13th best in the NFL but check this out this is where it gets good though all right if you look at the Miami Dolphins they’re they have the fifth best what

The fifth best run defense right now they’re allowing 90.6 yards per game the Miami Dolphins on the flip side they have the 10th best passing defense they’re alling about 205.000 yards per per game in terms of Total Defense though the Miami Dolphins have the fifth best Total Defense they’re allowing

296 and a half yards per game right now offensively the Miami Dolphins they are averaging 30.9 points per game that’s the best in the NFL guess what the Dolphins have scored 463 points this season number two was the Cowboys the Cowboys are now 12 points behind they’ve scored 451 number

Three san fran San Fran’s only scored 425 points we scored almost 40 more points than San Fran this year terms of rush yards per game we’ve dropped to fifth because of the last two games um we’re now averaging about 136.34 um again only three teams have more rushing yards than the Miami Dolphins

Right now the Ravens the Bears and the Lions the I’m me it’s unbelievable all right Dolphins they are leading the NFL in pass yards per game at 275.50 and when you look at yards per game the Dolphins again leading in yards per game throughout the NFL 41.5 yards per game second closest the

49ers at 42.6 yards per game oh the Dolphins are peing baby wo oh baby oh baby look at Bradley chub Bradley chub has 11 sacks that’s more than any dolphin than cam wake in 2017 come on come on check this out you want to hear something better about this season

For the first time in Dolphins history all right first time ever in Dolphins history the Miami Dolphins have a 4,000 yard pass rusher Tua a thousand yard rusher Raheem the Dream and two 1,000 yard receivers in jayen Wadd as as well as Tyreek Hill first time in NFL first time in franchise

History first time remember Jaylen Wadd first dolphin to start his his his career here with three back-to-back thousand yard seasons cheetah has over 100 receptions this season he joins Jarvis Landry as the only players in Dolphins history to have 100 plus receptions in multiple Seasons check this one out the Dolphins

Had four sacks yesterday remember the Dolphins this year broke the franchise record for the most sacks in the season it used to be 49 we had it in we had 49 and 83 in 2005 the Dolphins are at like 51 right now and we still got two games left

I stand by my statement this fangio defense is better than anything Flores or Boyer fielded I don’t want to hear any different Mike McDaniel found a better defensive Guru and he didn’t even build he did not even build this defense in His image this is Miami’s first 114 start to a season since

1990 the first time the Dolphins have won 11 games in the season since 2008 unbelievable unbelievable huge this team is peing right now baby I’ll throw you one better ready for this one you remember the Ravens game speaking of ravens week this week do you remember the Monday night Ravens game

Where Tua came out at half and Flores and the coaching staff tried to smear him with the whole golfing thing remember cuz he had golfed earlier in the morning with like wolf and a couple others remember that remember I knew he had golfed earlier in the morning and

All that kind of jazz and they tried to make it about that when I told all y’all what I had heard from his Camp was to a went golfing with a with a reason funny enough the reason being he was trying to show stevenh Ross and Chris Greer I’m healthy enough to start

They’re holding me out that was the whole reason he went golfing it wasn’t to be like oh I’m just going to go golf no that was to prove a point that these guys are holding me out I’m ready to go I said it reported this years ago when

It all went down it’s all true we all know how panned out we all know floor then it worked because Steven Ross and Chris Greer after that game we won Tua and that offense looked way better when Tua came in and everyone higher up looked at Florida I was like okay buddy

This ain’t right and right y’all remember that well check that check this out since let’s call it Gulf Gate right Tu a tongue of Alo is 26 and 10 since that he has a 72.2 win percentage since coming in relief on that game against the Ravens that night

Game against the Ravens that’s top three in the NFL in that span remember they’re questioning as work ethic and blah blah blah blah blah baby I’m just saying this team is peing right now baby and you can feel it let’s go beat the Ravens let’s handle our business and

Let’s steamroll into these playoffs let’s steamroll into these playoffs let’s get it done all right now for some of you looking for answers because I know they’re out there it is what it you know we all wanted answers after yesterday here is Jaylen Wadd Jaylen wad coach Mike McDaniel says jayen Wadd Shin

Injury from yesterday’s game is looking more like a high ankle spray today um Miami is going to get further tests done to determine the severity here’s the thing ladies and gentlemen if that’s a high ankle sprain he’s going to be shut down for the rest of this season in into

The playoffs like like he’ll be back for the playoffs but he’ll be shut down if that’s a high ankle sprain wd’s going to be shut down cuz that’s like a four-week injury that’s a three to four we injury right there so you know it’s a tough one it’s a

Tough ankle with his speed cutting and everything he wants to do I mean what can we say at this point this is just ridiculous you know I mean what can we say at this point what can we say at this point now I’m not I’m not worried I’m not I’m not worried because

You know we got enough bodies we got enough guys there that will make it pop off but that sucks man that’s a big loss so looking like a high ankle sprain right now for jayen waddle if that if the test come back and confirm that you

Can bet your your bottom dollar he’s not GNA be playing against the Ravens or the bills you know I’m going to be honest with you too man you know I kind of want us to have to play against the bills now that I think about it I don’t want too

Many weeks off here you know what I mean I don’t want too many weeks off so we’ll see what happens we will see what now on the flip side we could use all the weeks off for the injuries huh and I get that I get that

110% 110% I get that um so that’s the deal Jaylen waddle it’s looking like it’s high ankle right right now um so you know we’ll keep you posted as the week progresses and as we find out more and hopefully Robbie chosen can clear concussion protocol because we’re going to need you

And hopefully Chase Claypool can continue to get acclimated into this off into this offense let’s get into the snap counts for all of you guys um let’s start off with the offensive snap counts for you guys and let me just bring this up here so when we look at this here I

Mean hey you got Kendall lamb starting in place of Austin Jackson who is active cotton there’s your offensive line Duram SMI clear tight end one Cedric Wilson stepping into that wide receiver to roll with um Wadd out right so with waddle out needed someone to step up it ended up being Cedric

Wilson um so hey got to appreciate that got to appreciate that Tyreek though look at Tyreek Tyreek getting back to a somewhat normal workload right 85% of the snaps um surprisingly look at that Devon Devon aan got more snaps than moer after Moser banged up his potentially that

Could have been his ankle as well right um and then you see Alec inold getting some snaps in there Jeff Wilson getting his most snap usage of the season with 15 so that’s good to see um now when we flip over to the defensive snaps and special team snaps here

Um look at this Melvin Ingram had 21 snaps in his debut right thrown right into the fire thrown right into the fire love it love it love it love it Brandon Jones deshun Elliott handling basically all of the safety work Duke Riley getting 100% of the snaps really has

Taken on Jerome Baker’s snap count right like he’s really taking those on really really taking them on so I mean you know more snaps than uh David long so shout out to him man shout out to him doing the damn thing um Ethan boner there you

Go 13 special team SNS for all you wondering if you’re going to see him yesterday 13 special team snaps same with Chris Brooks as well so there you go Chris Brooks getting some special teams work as is Ethan boner those are your offense offensive and defensive

Snaps for the Miami Dolphins in week 16 let’s head on over to the PFF grades and let’s check them out so offensively Tyreek Hill and Teran Armstead topped you topped topped the offense for you guys at 80.7 grades Robbie chosen had a 77.1 Robert Jones had a 7 7 Cedric Wilson Jr

Had 74.2 rahee ozard had 73.7 um Durham SMI had a 70.5 Devon Devon achan had a 70.2 Jeff Wilson 68.8 and Tua had a 66.8 now your worst graded guys were Julian Hill had a 33.1 Lester cotton had a 34.9 leam mikenberg had a 41.6 baros had a 45.6 and kennall lamb

Had a 50.6 rounding out the top the bottom five graded dolphins on your offense now Tua they had him one for four on deep balls of 20 plus yards at the intermediate level they had him 7 for12 short level they had him 12 for 16 and then

Behind the line of scrimmage a cool four for four when two was kept clean they had him 21 of 27 for 242 yards and a touchdown so average depth of Target was 8.4 his adjusted completion percentage it doesn’t change it stays at um 77.8 and his time to throw when he was

Kept clean was 1.83 seconds so two of masking the offensive line a little bit right masking that offensive line a little bit getting it out in 1.83 seconds had a 11 16.4 passer rating when he’s kept clean now Under Pressure Tua was three for 10 Under Pressure 51

Yards um had a drop his adjusting complet percentage adjust to about 44.4% um his time to throw was 2.68 seconds his NFL pass rate dropped to 40 .3 when he was under pressure and clearly you know he still was shredding the blitz yesterday they didn’t Blitz him very often and

Obviously they didn’t because he’s one of the best in the NFL against the blitz so they only blitzed him six times according to PFF but we’ll know when we watch the tape back right so blocking wise the Dolphins they allowed 10 pressures yesterday so you had Kendall lamb

Allowed three Robert Jones Lester cotton leeam mikenberg all allowed to and then one was charged to Durham SMI so Taran Armstead was the only one who did not allow a pressure yesterday so there you go allowed two sacks and two hits and six hurries for a total of 10 pressures Allowed by the

Offensive line now defensively your top graded guy was Andrew van Gil at a 91.7 Zack Steeler came in at an 85.4 David long came in at a 74.6 rayquan was at a 71.9 Cameron good with a 71.6 Bradley chub with a 69.1 Duke Riley with a 68.6 Melvin Ingram with a

68.4 Brandon Jones with a 67.1 and Jaylen Ramsey rounding out the top 10 at of 65.3 your bottom five Nick neum had a 26.6 deshan Elliot had a 42.8 xaven Howard had a 50.7 CH Christian Wilkins had a 57.3 and DeShaun H hand had a 58.9 yeah I would agree Elliot took some

Bad angles yesterday I saw that for sure I don’t know about that low though but hey um now when you look at the coverage matchups all right xaven Howard targeted seven times allowed 77 yards on four receptions two first downs and um Payton Hender shot had a drop Duke Riley

Targeted four times allowed four receptions for 42 yards and two first downs ker coou targeted three times allowed two receptions for 26 yards and a first down Jaylen Ramsey targeted three times allowed three receptions for 20 yards a first down Andy L and the touchdown to Brandon Cooks David long targeted three times

Allowed one reception for a first down that was only seven yards aning yle targeted twice in coverage allowed one one reception for six yards to Brandon Cooks um Brandon Jones allowed two receptions on two Targets for 16 yards um DeShaun Elliott targeted twice allowed one reception for a

Touchdown um and 49 to CD lamb Michael Gallop T um was targeted once with Bradley chub in coverage and it was shut down for that four huge four- yard loss that Bradley chub had on the screen was massive Nick needam he’s targeted once allowed the reception for

14 yards to CD lamb for first down so I mean you look at cidi cidi was targeted 10 times all had six receptions had six receptions 118 yards so you know wasn’t targeted when Ramsey was on him though look at that no targets when Ramsey was on him and most

Of that yardage came he had like over 100 of those yards came in the first half he shut down in in that second half absolutely shut down so those are your PF those are your PFF grades um hey shut down in that second half it was beautiful thing to watch you saw it

So let’s get into it the passing charts here is Dak Prescott’s nextg stats passing chart 20 of 32 253 yards two touchdowns a plus two .9 completion percentage overexp expected he didn’t really challenge right you know I mean look at this I mean if you want to count both

Touchdowns and intermediate throws not just the one clearing obviously obvious one I mean from 10 yards and Beyond if you want to even count that touchdown what are we talking about nine or nine of his throws of 32 throws Came From Beyond 10 yards not I mean Dak was not challenging and you

Notice him holding the ball when we took away that first read remember I showed y all the stats that he’s a legitimate first read Merchant when you look at the analytics and they took you know especially when you take away cidi his blanket he he looked like what do I do

What do I do right now Tua on the flip side Tua 24 of 37 293 yards a touchdown a minus 5.2% completion percentage overex expected now when you look at throws Beyond 10 yards though right I mean you know he’s at uh what is that that’s he is

At what 15 15 of his so a quarter of his passes sorry a third of his passes I apologize a third of two his throws were from 10 yards and Beyond right Dak didn’t even reach that so um but hey two slicing and dcon taking what

The defense G given him I can’t wait to break down that film be live tomorrow on boxing day to break down that film for you but Tua was doing his damn thing love it absolutely love it man huge huge huge huge so when we dive deeper into the nextg

Stats see Dak Prescott had longest completed air distance with 54.8 yards to a 53.1 fastest ball carrier was Brandon Cooks for Dallas at 20.27% 3 miles hour on his 50 50 yard gain fastest sack was Armstrong for the Cowboys at 3 and a half seconds and sealer for the Dolphins at 3.3 seconds

Now when you look at their passing charts now remember um if you go over to the PFF one we just went over right PFF they had to a 0 for three to the left and one for one to the right well next gen has him for two to the Deep left and

One for one to the right on the intermediate level they have two a three for five to the left two for four to the middle and two for three to the right just for comparison um PFF they had them one for three to the left intermediate 6 for8 to

The middle intermediate and 0 for one to the right intermediate so way off there right way off um short level Tua they have him three for five to the left three for three to the middle 6 for9 to the right again PFF they had them two for three to the left

Six for six to the middle and four for seven to the right and continuing on you had the line of scrimmage behind it to a was a perfect four for four now Dak look at that look at Dak only eight throws out of his 32 were

From were were beyond the 10 yard line so a quarter of his throws Tua had a third of his throws this guy had a quarter two was pushing the ball more than Dak man now rushan not much going on for them Dak Prescott was probably the most

Effective Runner to be honest with you um not much going on for them Raheem found a little a little bit of success running to those A and B gaps on the right side not much off the edge for either even aan found a little of his

Most of his success running to the A and B gaps to the right Jeff Wilson he found the most success really off the edges let’s be honest and even he found success running to those A and B gaps man I’m telling you with henkins out we

Should have been running up to gut more I’m surprised we were not Running Up That gut way more with henkins out yesterday you look at the average receiver separation about 2.95 yards around the league Michael Gallop was at 1.53 cidi lamb was at zero Tolbert was

At 1.19 Ferguson at 2.26 and Cooks was at 61 on the flip side look at us chosen at 2.38 Hill was at 3.14 Smite at 4.51 w at 2.77 and Cedric Wilson at 2.48 so Hill and smite sh mattered it while W was just under it and Wilson and chosen

Were under it but look it the shutdown lock down the lack of Separation we were allowing in our secondary look at lamb zero yards now they obviously screwed that up that’s why it says that they haven’t updated that now Michael Parsons the average separation from a quarterback Lee averag about 4.54 yards Michael

Parson’s at 3.17 all right Osa I’m not even going to butcher his last name was about 4.44 seconds all right Armstrong he was at um 4.7 and Dexter Lawrence was at 4.97 Van GLE at 3.58 Bradley chub at 4.64 Wilkins at five and CA at 5. we only had one guy

Below it and chub was just beyond it so man what a tight game when you dive into the next gen stats huh what a tight game and guess what big December win three and one in December game-winning Drive what happened Tu a Tong of aloa has has risen from like

7eventh to Fourth only Chris mcaffrey Lamar Jackson Brock py and I’m telling you right now if Tua beats Lamar next week they flip tuang aloa is back in the MVP race with a big December Victory against the Dallas Cowboys how quickly things change how quickly things

Change to a right back up there now look at momes after I mean and after that loss today Mahomes is dropping even further down there’s definitely going to be a new MVP this year for sure for sure and shout out to Barry Jackson you

Know he does it you know he does it the best and I wanted to bring this up and we’re going to go over Barry Jackson right now and then I want to bring over we’re going to look at something that Shannon sharp said all right so with Barry

Jackson I look got more impressive feeds by Tong of aloa so Dolphins quarterback to a tongoa went enter the final two weeks of the regular season ranked among the top two NFL quarterbacks in three key statistical categories this season and standing first among five active QBs in another significant area Sunday’s 222

20 22 to2 win against Dallas left Tung below with a 205 record as a starter at Hard Rock stadium that 800 winning percentage is best all is the best all-time home winning percentage among all active QBs edging out Rogers and momes so his 105.4 passer rating right

Now is second in the league trailing only Brock perie who’s entering with a 119 Tong below has posted a passer rating of 90 or higher in 12 games this season the most in the NFL including all eight of Miami’s home games Tango’s 4214 passing yards led the league lead the league and

Are significantly ahead of number two on the list which is Jared Goff at 3984 those 4214 yards are fifth most in Dolphins singles season history behind Four Seasons from Dan Marino at least this season tongo seems unlikely to pass Marino’s team record of 5,84 set in 1984 excluding Cincinnati’s

Jake Browning who’s appeared in just seven games Tong below leads the league completes the percentage at 70.5 Tong tongoa 70.5 completion percentage would be the highest in the single season in team history Ryan Fitzpatrick owns a franchise record of 68 half% in 2020 T is four straight games without

Interception are tied for the fourth longest streak in team history and one short of the record held by tongue of aloa twice and J Fiedler once I said look at that not only are we three and one in December Tua hasn’t thrown an interception he’s taking care of the

Ball Tong valow on Sunday became the third Dolphins quarterback to top 4,000 passing yards in the season joining Marino and Ryan tanah Hill who did it twice Marino did it six times Sunday’s win marked the eighth game winning Drive of Tango’s career in his 64th quarter comeback huge huge here’s some notes to

Go around rahee mozer was um limited to 19 of the Dolphins 16 offensive snaps and that was because of the shin injury but afterward he did say he was fine mooser who has a,2 rushing yards is a first offense player since J in 2016 to

Rush for a th yards in the season with his one touchdown against Dallas Moser became only the second undrafted player since 1967 to scor at least 21 touchdowns in the season joining priest holes who had 27 in 2003 and 24 in 2002 and there’s this Moser 31 is the first

Player in his 30s to rush for a th000 yards in a season since Washington’s Adrien Peterson rushed for 1,42 in 2018 at the age of 33 he’s also the second oldest player in NFL history to rush for a th000 yards for the first time in his

Career the only player who was older was Pittsburgh’s John Henry Johnson who topped a th rushing yards for the first time in his career in 1962 at the age of 33 Devon aan led the Dolphins running backs in offensive snaps of 36 so man you look at those factoids look at the

Season two and Moser are having absolutely huge massive massive stuff unbelievable let’s go let’s go man smash that like button subscribe if you’re new Dolphins are 11 and four and the AFC East runs through Miami and after tonight the AFC could run through Miami baby think about

That now Tyreek I I gotta play this because I’ve been guys we got away with it yesterday but another key drop from Tyreek in a big game this is a theme ladies and gentlemen last year December Buffalo Bills him and sherfield on the same Drive Dro touchdowns this

Year Eagles drops a walk-in touchdown Chiefs drops a pass at the 30 yard line we end up not scoring points on it then on the KC 30 he dropped a pass wide open we didn’t score scored D points on that drive then fumbles before the end of the half on the KC

31 picked up returned for a touchdown instead of us getting three or seven points we give seven points to the Chiefs now another big drop in a big moment Tyreek Hill drops balls in big moments right now at least as a dolphin that’s that’s a theme Shannon sharp talked about his

Drops check this out off his CRA credit Tyreek 14 targets nine catches 99 yards he dropped one he dropped it hey that would have been what 97 96 because you see what but see here’s the thing o what he gotta do oo that was beautiful once

He got past Bland he gotta start getting back he stayed in that line you now you got to get back why because just think about it if you had released outside where would you have been I don’t care what your release is you know what oo

You could go in motion and go out the other side as long as with my back hit that fifth step and you where you supposed to do be at 42 and four I’m cool with it right he needed to get back wide and because he didn’t you see how

He tried to reach over here and catch it where if he’ got back wide it hit it right here right in the Bread Basket that right in the Bread Basket and he’ been he pieced him out and so now you get 97 now oo you know what happen you get that

First catch and a big one yeah I’m about to get me a two I’m about to be get me a two piece I’m about to get me a 200 today about matter of fact that would have today would have been a 200 yard day 20 200 and some change easy but he

Had another opportunity remember late in the fourth quarter he ran he ran a deep end cut and two it threw it behind him ca he was about to come out the backside on that one because the saf took the safety had taken a horrible angle he was

About to come out the backside that’s why he started hopping started jumping because he like damn I missed this opportunity so yeah the second one was a little on Tua but that first one what a dime from Tua right in the Bread Basket I mean they talked about it right there for

You man I mean Tyreek could have put up a 200 piece come on that would have been absolutely ridiculous yesterday if he would have done that that would have been absolutely stupid absolutely massive so hey it is what it is man guys we’re 11 and4 we’re at the top

Of the AFC East right now with the number one seed in the AFC in Striking Distance smash the like button subscribe if you’re new we’re about to hit 13,500 let’s get there let’s get to 14,000 I mean let’s guys man what a time to be alive what a
