3 things we learned in the Miami Dolphins deflating loss to the Bengals

The Miami Dolphins have a real offense for the first time in decades

Yes there are plenty of things the Miami Dolphin’s offense can improve on such as the running game, and finishing drives. But make no mistake, for the first time in decades, the Miami Dolphins have a legitimate, adult offense that can be relied on to score a lot of points.

When Tua was in there, the offense was moving the ball up the field on the Bengals. They were just settling for field goals, which isn’t ideal I know. But they were getting chunk play after chunk play to Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and even Mike Gesicki.

It just seems like they know they can get those play-action/RPO plays over the middle whenever they want.

Then, Mike McDaniel seems like he got a bit greedy and was looking to pump the ball deep. Tua threw the INT late. Also and I don’t know why but Tua will throw some deep balls so high in the air that the ball has no choice but to die up there. The second deep ball he threw that ended up going incomplete had much more velocity on it and was thrown on a line.

But the offensive concepts are working. There hasn’t been as many boots the last few games but the production is there.

Obviously, it helps when you have Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle but there’s teams out there that wouldn’t know how to use them. Past Miami offensive coaching staffs would be tripping over themselves trying to figure out a way to get those guys the ball. Not Mike McDaniel. He knows how to keep feeding them and how to get them open when everyone knows the ball is coming to them. It will continue.
