How Chop Robinson BROKE OUT vs. the New England Patriots Miami Dolphins rookie Chop Robinson had a breakout game last week vs the Patriots, Tyler looks at the film to break it down.

🚨NEW ARTICLE🚨

Chop Robinson showed out against the Patriots, showcasing his elite speed and get-off, but also power and nuance.

I broke down the film, and how Robinson registered 8 pressures on just 26 pass rush reps.

Waddle’s film from this past week was some of my favorite. Got to see his deep bag vs. press man, but the best part was watching him sell pick plays / clear outs to open up opportunities for others.

The Common Thread in Tua Tagovailoa's Out of Structure Success - Miami Dolphins The Common Thread in Tua Tagovailoa's Out of Structure Success

🚨NEW ARTICLE🚨

Since Week 9, Tua is credited with 14 under pressure pass attempts.

The results? 13/14 for 130 yards and a TD.

Tua is excelling out of structure since his return. Find out how he’s doing it and why I think it’s sustainable:

gonna need a little more object permanence here lol

Look at Tua beginning his throwing motion in comparison to where this ball ends up (I marked it with an X)

Anticipation is off the charts

Announcement:

Extremely happy to be joining
@dolphinstalk.bsky.social and the team there!
More Dolphins content coming very soon. Can't wait!

OBJ putting his body on the line for this curl-flat pick play

Tua Tagovailoa, despite missing 4 games, is 10th in cumulative EPA on plays longer than 2.5 seconds.
There are only 10 QBs with a positive EPA on these plays:

Jackson
Goff
Carr
Allen
Burrow
Purdy
Murray
Daniels
Love
Tagovailoa

Via NextGenStats

Tua Tagovailoa has been in the top 8 in total EPA in EACH of the last 3 games on plays longer than 2.5 seconds.

Week 9: 3rd (6.5 EPA)
Week 10: 8th (0.1 EPA)
Week 11: 5th (10.5 EPA)

3 loss scenarios aren't worth discussing.

2 loss scenarios took a major hit with DEN's win over ATL today. Losses to the Packers + Texans put Miami at 52% chance given today's results, but if the Broncos lost to the Falcons, that number would be 68%.

Denver is THE team to root against as of now.

Winning 2 of those games is the key. Even if they lose to HOU (the worst 1 loss scenario due to AFC tiebreakers) , chances jump to 93%.

If that loss comes to the Packers or 49ers, chances jump to 96% and 97% respectively.

New York Times has the Dolphins at a 15% chance to make the postseason with updated Week 11 results (and an assumption of a Chargers win).

If you pick them to win against Patriots, Jets 2x, and Browns, you are left with a 61% chance that changes based on picks vs. GB, HOU, & SF.

Was waiting until the end of the drive to post this:

3rd down feels automatic rn

Vegas' ability to create traffic and generate quick hitters outside has been a disaster for Miami. Bowers eats too much space vs. Zone, can't be guarded in man.

antsy was really the word I was looking for but you get the point. They're not forcing it.

Potentially the most impressive part is how nobody has gotten anxious. McDaniel, Tua, even Reek. Well. Oiled. Machine.

This has become practice for Miami attempting execution-based offense in the face of defenses keeping their safeties so high they can’t keep going to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as much as they did last year. This sort of positive play after play, patient and consistent execution has been missing.

I know a lot of people are going to get on Mike McDaniel for that end of half drive but the real issue was Tyreek Hill not getting out of bounds on that first play. The final play, the idea is simply to force the defense to play clean and not get a penalty that puts you in long FG range.

what a drive.

There was a brief period there where I was watching QBs with an eye towards Miami being in that market. Tua coming back and playing the best ball of his career changes that, but I thought I’d share my thoughts here ahead of this college football Saturday.

My top guy is Cam Ward, but you knew that 🧵

‘Tis indeed posted on this blessed app

I'm willing to see a game that COULD age very well... potentially do so.

There was gonna be more to this thread about Weaver, but I'll leave it at this:

Watch Jalen Ramsey play. Dude lives to run wildly into the backfield the 3 times a game he gets to blitz, and we're getting to see it. Buy in >

I'm willing to see how this one pans out, especially considering this is a team that likes their chances at a playoff run, isn't looking at a teardown, and isn't going to have a home-run draft pick fall in their lap because they (very likely) won't be in the top 10.
