The “Reunion Bowl” has coach Mike McDaniel, quite a few assistants, and players dealing with their former crew, the 49ers.
Equally teams are in playoff mode so each on and off the subject this sport has a ton of juice. The Dolphins have won 5 in a row, San Francisco has won its previous 4.
Here’s what the Dolphins need to have to do:
Maintain Scoring
The Dolphins have scored at minimum 30 details in their final 4 video games, a streak that ties a franchise document. San Francisco’s defense has only authorized 4 touchdowns in the previous 4 video games and is at the top of the league. Of study course, the Niners know Mike McDaniel’s offense well. It can be a good intriguing matchup to check out Sunday.
Get To Jimmy G
The 49ers’ quarterback has long gone five straight video games without the need of throwing an interception. The Dolphins’ secondary has been damage all time with starters out for the season. Defensive coordinator Josh Boyer, Sam Madison and the staff have fone a terrific work with what they have. And players like undrafted cost-free agent Kader Kohou are worthy of credit history for their degree of perform. This sport, on the highway, will be a fantastic check. Has McDaniel used additional time that standard with the defense this 7 days supporting with Garappolo’s tendancies? The familiarity with the opponent goes both equally ways.
Can Anyone beat Tua?
Tagovailoa is 8- this season and a amazing 15-1 the last 2 yrs in online games he starts off and finishes. He also has the greatest third down passer ranking because the league began monitoring the stat in 1991. Tua is in advance of Steve Young and Kurt Warner who both of those gained the tremendous bowl and the video game MVP award all those a long time. Going through San Francisco, on the street, in December playoff form football makes this 1 of Tua’s biggest assessments. He also will probably be with out his starting off tackles which would necessarily mean the offensive line only has 2 starters still left from the get started of the season. Again, an intriguing part of this activity that has so lots of storylines it is really tricky to hold track of them all.
California on my Thoughts
The Dolphins enjoy the Chargers up coming Sunday night time which will function the QB matchup of Tua vs Justin Herbert. It truly is back to again video games on the west coast, time for some group bonding in the Golden State but on the subject, it’s no quick activity. But a great prospect for the Dolphins even if they can receive a break up. They’re not pondering that way nevertheless as it can be a self-confident group, even with the offensive line accidents, that thinks it has what it takes to win massive this period.
