PHILADELPHIA — Facing a first-and-10 from their own 25-yard line, the Miami Dolphins set up to run their first offensive play against the Philadelphia Eagles and their defensive front on Sunday night.
The Eagles’ thunderous crowd attempted to will its way into the game through a combination of cheers, chants and a whole lot of booing. The Dolphins broke the huddle and were ready to try and accomplish what they have most weeks this season — leaving their opponent in a cloud of dust and scoring touchdowns at the speed of sound.
“We were behind the chains more than we’re used to,” Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said. “We had some small, nuanced details of some plays. Hats off to the Philadelphia Eagles, because they made us pay every time. You know, maybe our track was a little too tight or too wide, or an offensive lineman was a hair off.”
in Week 4. In that game, they at least had contributions from explosive rookie running back De'Von Achane, who is currently on injured reserve with a knee injury. Raheem Mostert carried the load for the Dolphins' ground game Sunday, but he only had nine carries as a whole. Running back Salvon Ahmed and Tagovailoa combined for three more carries – and zero rushing yards.
An underrated difficulty of shuffling around and loss of depth across the offensive line is readjusting the communication standards for new players in the lineup or entrenched players playing new positions. The relationship between a quarterback and their offensive line is one thatrelies on clear verbal communication from the time the play call is distributed in the huddle to the point of the ball being snapped.
“This is what the play is going to be,” Tagovailoa said. “Just be alert for this look or this look and they can communicate that on the sideline before we start drives.”
