As most of ya’ll know, my dad recently passed away due to complication from COVID leading to an extended financial crisis.
Please share and donate to spread awareness in this difficult time period.
Thank you and bless you all!
Tua Tagovailoa against the
#1
ranked pass defense:
27/31
230 yards
1 TD
The same
#1
pass defense that held Dak Prescott to 188 yards. Mac Jones to 133. Matt Ryan to 146. Jalen Hurts to 198
Dolphins went into this with their CB2 RT1 RT2 TE2 WR3 DT2 out of the game. QB1 knocked out of the half. CB1 out for almost a quarter. OT3 in, LT battling toe. MLB also hurt.
Did I mention the QB also got hurt?
Get over it.
Bills went into week three down both starting safeties, both starting corners, both starting DT's and their starting center and left down their backup center, starting RG, RT, 3rd CB, and 5th WR.
Jevon Holland was the only AFC player this season to have multiple interceptions, sacks, and fumble recoveries
Just a fantastic rookie year for

From the Ringer by
@theStevenRuiz
“But his lack of arm strength shows up when he has to throw on the move, which limits his playmaking”
I think these consists of a playmaker, making plays, on the move, with Arm strength.
Had the ball not been tipped, this would’ve been a 72 yard house call.
The playcall, design and execution. Perfect.
On the first play of the game.
23/33, 342 yards, 2 TD’s
Would the narrative be different?

I just found out the Miami Dolphins donated food to my mosque for Ramadan. This organization exemplifies excellent community service. Thank you

Dolphins fans were clamoring about their pass catching group was for Tua in 2020, and were invalidated by it cause of the QB.
You’re seeing the similarity with Mahomes tonight— and it’s impact.
Wide Receivers matter.
Tua had drives to ice the game against the Chiefs, Titans, Eagles, and Bills
Came up short every single time. He Herbert'd himself, just like everyone wanted
Inna illahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. Verily to him we belong and verily to him we shall return.
Today, my father Shafiq Ahmed Patel has lost his battle with COVID.
Please keep him in your prayers.

The Draft Network’s
@DP_NFL
has the
#Dolphins
picking Texas RB Bijan Robinson with the 56th pick in his mock draft
“Bijan Robinson is the best back in this class. He adds a high-end RB with a complete three-down skill set. Good luck stopping this offense.”
This isn’t an underthrow, this is throwing a different route
It’s a corner route towards the sideline, it’s a CLEAR miscommunication between WR and QB.
Recently, my dad has been in the ICU since last week with Covid Pneumonia and the situation is dire.
It’s an unforeseen financial crisis for my family while hoping there’s a chance my dad recovers .
Awareness and donations are appreciated. God Bless!
Currently, Tua Tagovailoa leads the NFL with 1,614 passing yards
He’s doing this while releasing the ball within 2.37 seconds. The lowest time to throw in the NFL
This play right here costed the Dolphins the game
A loss of -9.8 EPA and increased KC win probability Chance from 81% to 95%
KC was never under 80% WP after that. Even as Dolphins were driving down the field and sputtered.
Game-Changing play
Through 2 games:
Tua Tagovailoa- 715 yards, 4 TD, 2 INT
Justin Herbert - 534 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT
Josh Allen - 510 yards, 4 TD, 3 INT
Lamar Jackson - 406 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
Jalen Hurts - 363 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
Joe Burrow - 304 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT

GM Chris Grier and HC Mike McDaniel are scheduled to be Alabamas Pro day today
There could be potential future Dolphins from this crop:
- RB Jahmyr Gibbs
- TE Cam Latu
- OL Emil Ekiyor
- OL Tyler Steen
- LB Henry To’oTo’o
- DL DJ Dale
- DB DeMarco Hellams
Tua Tagovailoa has won 10 straight games against Super Bowl winning HC’s
It stands as an NFL record
He still plays Belichick again, Doug Pederson, Mike McCarthy, and Jim Harbaugh
Per source,
#Dolphins
will be working out UNI Safety Benny Sapp III on April 14th
Sapp’s pro day #’s
- 4.57 40
- 35’ vert
- 10.2 ft broad jump
- 20 bench reps
- 6.94 3 cone
The UNI alum recorded 9 INT's in 30 games
His dad also played for the Dolphins
Justin Fields' trajectory seems similar to the first two years of Tua Tagovailoa:
An offensive system and weapons not built to their skillset
An offensive line that ranked the league worst in blocking
No support from Front Office
Can't tell if the QB is good or bad...
The Miami Dolphins offense is converting on 3rd down 73% of the time, which is tied for 5th in the NFL.
The offense is converting on 4th down 80% of the time. Good for 2nd in the NFL.
While everyone knows Jaylen Wright has great speed, vision and can hit a home run
His pass protection is what may allow him to get on the field early and often.
This is a good addition to the Dolphins offense
The Dolphins had a prospect meeting with Aggies WR Ainias Smith
5’9 190 lb WR that’s also played RB early in his career
Playmaker that can align in slot/backfield and be a mismatch against LBs and Nickel DB
You know who else did that?
Tyreek Hill. 🤔
Per ESPN’s FPI, Tua Tagovailoa on passes thrown 10-20 yards downfield last season:
39.7 QBR (29th)
47.3% completion percentage (27th) 0-6 TD-INT ratio
Last week he had:
99.0 QBR (5th)
66.7% completion percentage (T-6th)
1-0 TD-INT ratio
“Dolphins will be a dangerous football team cause Tua may be back”
Not the case
They have the worst ranked defensive EPA/Play of AFC playoff teams this season. (24th)
In December:
29th in PPG
28th in EPA/Play
QBs don’t Play Defense, Neither do the Dolphins
I remember when NFL analysts said Dolphins should’ve traded up to take Fields/Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft
To this day Chris Grier traded UP to the 3rd pick, Then traded DOWN with SF.
With those assets Grier collected:
Jaylen Waddle
Tyreek Hill
Bradley Chubb
FLEECE.
I asked Patrick Paul about his technical weakness
He mentioned he was working with
@BigDuke50
throughout the offseason
“He helped correct me with my hand usage and striking. I understood my landmarks better and better understanding of using my length to my advantage”
Nice work by Tua standing tall in the pocket, knowing he would take a hit. Delivers a beautiful touch pass over the second-level defender's outstretched hand.
Horrible rep by the RT btw!
#FinsUp
Fangio 40 front- Nickel package
Notice how the 4 DL’s are bunched up together with their bodies in the “2” position
Key in not allowing free gaps for RB’s to burst through
No cutback lanes materialize, neutralizes OZ run game with this front
Dolphins-Ravens is legit Strength vs. Strength
Ravens one of the best in running C3, Tua has played against C3 a ton this season
Ravens run C1, Tua and the offense are C1 destroyers.
The battle between Mike McDaniel and Mike MacDonald will be a movie
Scouting Notes on new
#Dolphins
LB Channing Tindall:
-Super fast and athletic 4.4 40 time
-Rangy cover skills
-Natural pass rusher
-Excellent special teams player
-Hard hitter and solid tackler against lead blockers
-Sideline to sideline LB, primarily an inside guy
Miami
#Dolphins
defensive tackle Christian Wilkins is playing really well, and is in a contract year.
He's just outside the elite level in pass rush win rate and double team win rate
He's ranked
#2
by ESPN's run stop win rate as a DT. He's got a 47% win rate
Fangio Cover 6 in nickel to defend the boot-action
4 rushers, 4 under defenders with 3 men deep
1/4, 1/4, 1/2 zone defense for the DBs
Quarter flat technique to where the SAM is
CBs read the play while the safeties cover the boundary side
Kudos to Eliss, Dorn and Smith
Now I took a look at when he throws to each
Tuas EPA/Play when throwing to Tyreek:
136 plays
.395 EPA/Play
Tuas EPA/Play when throwing to Waddle:
93 plays
.832 EPA/Play
I just want to say getting a .832 EPA/Play throwing to 1 WR is absolutely ridiculous and insane
