The Dolphins have not lost since the start of the Tua Tagovailoa era in Miami. This is largely due to the offense changing what it does and moving the football behind its new quarterback.

Kyle Crabbs, the host of the Locked On Dolphins Podcast, discussed what the new Miami offense looks like and why it is finding some success.

Crabbs: I finished charting the Dolphins' offense against the Chargers yesterday. One of the things that really stood out while I was watching film and studying and graphing and charting the plays, diagraming the route combos, it felt like this was the game in which the Dolphins RPO or alert tendencies really look off. That is something that Brian Flores talked about ahead of the Rams game when he said it wouldn’t be realistic to expect an overnight change to infuse a bunch of new concepts in the offense.

I don’t really know if they’re new concepts per se, but Brian Flores was right in that it took a couple of weeks. You are watching the Dolphins offense operate in week 10 and how many times did we see Tua Tagovailoa rise up out of the mesh point to throw. He threw a speed out to Jakeem Grant on first and 15, one of the first plays of the game. They have second and three in the red zone and Tua pulls the ball out of the mesh point and throws the fade to DeVante Parker who catches it with one hand but only gets one foot in bounds. I still think it was a touchdown because when other teams play the Dolphins when you get your shin in bounds, it counts as a touchdown but apparently not when DeVante Parker does it. Weird. Three more times, throughout the course of the first half Tua rises up out on offensive linemen double-teaming, climbing to the second level, insert block from the tight end, and throws a pass identifying pass coverages.
