Miami enters Year 4 with coach Mike McDaniel, QB Tua Tagovailoa and receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle forming the offense's core. The team added guards James Daniels and rookie Jonah Savaiinaea to address persistent offensive line problems. Miami also acquired tight end Darren Waller and added staff and depth pieces including Bobby Slowik, Zach Wilson, Ollie Gordon II and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Key departures include Terron Armstead, Jonnu Smith and Raheem Mostert. The offense fell from first to 18th in yards per game after Tagovailoa missed six games. The offense aims to return to high-scoring, deep-passing form while preserving Tagovailoa's health.
It's Year 4 for the Miami Dolphins ' offensive foursome of coach Mike McDaniel, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, the fuel for the engine that drives the team. They figure to return to striking fear into opponents. But the more exciting news is the Dolphins, who have struggled with offensive line issues for all three of the previous seasons under McDaniel, got a pair of new guards - free agent signee James Daniels and rookie second-round pick Jonah Savaiinaea. Combine them with a large number of other offensive additions and this crew seems poised for a big season.
The downside to the 2024 season is the Dolphins, who were without Tagovailoa for six games due to a concussion and a hip injury, went from having the league's No. 1 offense in 2023 (401.3 yards per game) to having the league's No. 18 offense in 2024 (325.9 ypg). This season the Dolphins offense is hoping to get back to its high-scoring, deep-passing ways; here's a breakdown of the starters: QB Tua Tagovailoa 6-foot-1, 225 pounds; sixth season Tagovailoa must play smarter to remain healthy, according to general manager Chris Grier, McDaniel, and Tagovailoa. A couple of keys are getting rid of the ball as opposed to holding it for that extra half-second in hopes that a receiver gets open, and sliding before the first down marker on runs instead of taking on a tackler in an attempt to get the first down.
