Even without their starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins have plenty of firepower to concern Mike Macdonald and the Seahawks.
RENTON, Wash. - Placed on injured reserve earlier this week after suffering his third concussion in as many seasons, thewon't have to prepare for gunslinging lefty Tua Tagovailoa when the Miami Dolphins come to Lumen Field this Sunday.
"They do a phenomenal job," Macdonald said of McDaniel and the Dolphins. "The stats back it up, very well coached. We talk about elegance, simplicity, it's consistent for the quarterback, the angles in the run game, the speed on the field, how they're able to include everybody, all their playmakers and stuff. They play incredibly fast. They do a great job. I'm a broken record, but every week, we have to have a sound game plan that is complementary.
"They do a great job of attacking on the perimeter with their perimeter blocking and the angles that they create. And then also, I don't think they get enough credit for inside interior-type runs, being able to cut defenses and yards after contact, things like that," Macdonald explained.
Employing a new defensive coordinator in Anthony Weaver, who previously coached on the Ravens staff alongside Macdonald, the Dolphins have been one of the more aggressive blitzing teams in the NFL, sending five or more rushers 31.1 percent of the time according to Pro Football Reference. Miami has also been active using simulated pressures, per Field Vision, dialing them up 45.5 percent of passing snaps in Week 1 against the Jaguars.
