3 ways Mike McDaniel and his big brain have been on full display
By Matt Serniak
Mike McDaniel has no problem with running the same kind of stuff over and over again.
Even in the Patriots game, McDaniel kept calling deep shots whether they were nine routes or deep crossers. Tua didn’t throw them but they were called.
When the score got out of hand against Baltimore, McDaniel said we are going to try and go deep and I don’t care who knows about it. This time, Tua said screw it. I’m going downtown to Tyreek Hill. Yes, Hill was wide open on the second TD, but in the first one, he blew by two guys. It wasn’t a busted coverage.
Even in the WR screen game, McDaniel is fine with continuing to run them. Miami scored on the one to Waddle and I expect that to continue.
I love the idea of Mike McDaniel not giving a damn about what style of offensive play he’s running. Now as we already covered, these plays are going to have some really smart, big-brained nuances to them that put Miami and Tua in a good position to keep running them. Fine with me. The defense runs an aggressive, blitzing defense and everyone knows it’s coming. They aren’t 100% where the pressure is coming but they know it is headed their way. That’s how the offense is, to me. We’re getting the ball to our big-time playmakers and there isn’t anything you can do about it.
