On Monday, McDaniel said that he warned Dolphins players not to think of Tagovailoa as the “savior” who will rescue the offense after it spent four games sinking in quicksand. But the excitement of Dolphins players has been palpable.

Needless to say there is a lot of work to do to figure out the current lay of the land. This is where we come in. Welcome to The Skinny Post where we, Michael Peterson and RJ Ochoa, will hold your hand and walk you through what you need to know.

The Dolphins are loaded with skill position stars, but their offense has been one of the NFL’s worst this season.

This game is a big referendum on McDaniel’s coaching chops. It’s not a final answer, but it’s a major midterm.

In four games without Tua Tagovailoa, the Miami Dolphins scored a grand total of 40 points. For perspective, the last team unable to average more than 10 points per game over the course of a season was the 1991 Indianapolis Colts, who fired their coach after five games and finished 1-15.

On the day after a 16-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts , Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel shared positive news. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is set to return to the team from IR. Tagovailoa was concussed Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills and went through protocols over the last several weeks.

The Sun Sentinel’s Chris Perkins and David Furones discuss if head coach, and offensive play-caller, Mike McDaniel has a handle of Miami’s offense as clear problems have cropped up.
