Dolphins oline is horrible and it not like Tua has a lot of targets.


Is what it is at this point. Again, a trade to a more established organization would be best. Miami isn't going to have the patience and commitment that it's going to take. They want something, and they want it now.

I'd like to see Tua go to Seattle or Pittsburgh and learn. I think both teams are going to have to rebuild - in Seattle's case, for Pete's final hoorah. I think both teams will try to stabilize their lines and get more options on the perimeter. If Tua could sit behind Wilson (assuming he stays), it would be a great scenario. Pittsburgh will improve on the line, and already have their running back. Their defense will be back, too. Maybe they bring in a stopgap vet at QB for a few years.

Pittsburgh would be a good situation. They have stability and pieces in place to be successful. Plus they commit to running the ball which takes pressure of the QB.
Seattle would be bad for Tua. Coaching staff is a mess plus he'd sit for a few years unless Wilson demanded a trade. Tua needs to be on the field to improve. Just needs to be somewhere with a better OL and coaching staff.

For most of the year (really for the last few years). Pittsburgh has had terrible Oline play. James Conner who was considered a liability left and became a pro bowler once he got some blocking. It looks like they might have fixed somethings the last week or two but they are going to need to make some fixes in the off season or Tua would be in the same situation if he ended up there.

I also don't think Tua is a cold weather QB. I think he should go to a dome team or a warm weather location.

I am just too stupid to understand the Miami offensive scheme. It's like everything is based on the ball being thrown in less than 2 seconds.

The organization and OLine coach had a mutual parting of ways a couple of weeks ago. He was supposed to leave at the conclusion of the regular season for Oregon, but they were okay with cutting ties immediately. Says a lot.

The other part is having their anchors retire, and not replacing them. I think they will target guys in the draft and free agency this off-season. They hit gold with Najee, and I think they'll go all in to help the run game keep producing.

Cold weather and Tua is a concern that many have noted. Thing is, if Tua wants to make it, he has to get better in the rain and cold to make it. Unfortunately, the best opportunities in the league this off-season will be places that get tough in the late fall and winter.

All things equal, although I don't think there's a shot in hell it will happen, is for Tua to go to Denver. Denver has talent to win right now, they just don't have a qb. They're going to go all in with their new coach hire to get Rodgers.

No your not. They can't block up front, the ball has to come out quickly for them to be effective. Honestly I do believe they also do it cause Tua has that gunslinger in him and will take some unnecessary risk under pressure at time.

So currently ESPN is projecting the Patriots and Bengals against each other in the WC... That should be an interesting time for tRant.

Check this film review on Miami.

The lazy route running and wide receivers running into each other explains why the Miami offense is so bad. These are some of the worst wide receivers besides Waddle that I've ever seen.

looks more like Miami is serious about playing and as of right now NE is looking to get on the plane.

I think Mac lost the OROTY unless he really brings them back and looks great doing it the rest of the game.

Tua looking solid. Miami doesn't deserve him.

Horrible officiating. A season to forget in that regard, league-wide.

The punter sliding 3 yards short was hilarious.

But yeah, terrible penalty.

Hope Mac starts hitting some passes. Very predictable play calling so far.
