Russell Wilson stood out there, letting the clock tick down to 20 seconds Monday night in Seattle before using the first of the team’s three time outs. Facing fourth-and-five with about 48 seconds left, Hackett decided to attempt a 64-yard field goal rather than put the ball in the quarterback’s hands they just paid $250 million.

Denver’s Nathaniel Hackett showed playing Madden isn’t preparation for some decision-making. You saw Monday why the Dolphins’ Mike McDaniel deserved praise for going for it on fourth down just before half and was rewarded with a 42-yard touchdown. Re-watching the game: Tackle Terron Armstead was as good as expected and center Connor Williams had a good game, too. So Sunday was a notable difference and translated into other numbers like the yards of his passes rising from a bottom-feeding 5.1 yards last year to 6.2 yards on Sunday (ranked 12th in league). Last season, Tua had a third-worst 2.52 seconds to throw. It’s just one game, but it ranked 10th in the league and is a big improvement if it holds. But the pass-blocking? Tua Tagovailoa had an average 2.92 seconds to throw, as measured. It was some good, some bad for the offensive line. But I’d understand if they didn’t even want to trade Bridgewater at all.Ģ. That would help recoup some of the draft bounty spent on Tyreek Hill (and for the tampering charges). Do you really want the season resting on a seventh-round rookie who shows promise rather than a veteran who has taken teams to the playoffs?Ī second-round pick. This AFC is stacked with playoff contenders. Let’s say Tagovailoa misses two or three games. Some will say the preseason play of Skyler Thompson could mean Bridgewater could be traded more easily to Dallas. He’s been in this role before, too, as he went 5-0 with New Orleans in replacing Drew Brees in 2019. Their season was in trouble before this - once again.īridgewater wasn’t seen as a starter by any team this offseason. That’s because the Dolphins signed Bridgewater for one year at $6.5 million for the good reason that he’s a solid insurance policy to Tua Tagovaila’s durability questions.ĭallas is in the market for a quarterback with Dak Prescott out for at least four weeks with a thumb injury. That might make a deal prohibitive - and that’s fine. What would it take for the Miami Dolphins to trade Teddy Bridgewater to the Dallas Cowboys as is being kicked around?Ī second-round pick, for instance.
