Watch Tua's Return Boosts Miami’s Offense: Dolphins' Playoff Hopes - SportsGrid on Dailymotion

Transcript

00:00Just to show you the stats yesterday for Tuatunga Bailoa, he returned and the offense looked

00:08as good as it has all year.

00:11234 yards, a 13-yard scramble, and a slide that led to a standing ovation in South Florida

00:19and a touchdown.

00:20Again, Miami had not scored more than 20 points this year.

00:24They were the worst scoring offense in the NFL entering yesterday.

00:28They put up 27, albeit in a losing effort.

00:31And again, Donnie, although Tuatunga Bailoa is back, the offense looks a ton better.

00:37Miami is 2-5 in 1-6 against the spread this year, losing outright as a favorite four times.

00:46There's not a lot of time left for Miami to turn it around.

00:49Can the Dolphins even factor into the playoff conversation the rest of the way?

00:53I don't think so.

00:54You came back, and the reason I loved Tuatunga Bailoa coming back is, number one, it's going

00:58to play a bad defense.

00:59But number two, it opens up the running game.

01:00Like Devontae Chan ran for 9.7 yards per carry and then chipped in with an extra six catches

01:04for 50 yards, and you still lost that game because your defense was bad.

01:08Remember all the fun we had in the offseason?

01:10Like, hey, man, Vic Fangio's going to the Eagles, and they show, like, kicking rocks,

01:13and thank God that guy's gone.

01:14Well, I'll tell you, you probably needed Vic Fangio yesterday to hold the Arizona Cardinals

01:17to under 28 points, and you would have won that football game.

01:20Now, we did have a spirited conversation yesterday on the desk at Pro Football Today.

01:25The old guard, me and Joe Lisi, would never wear the Guardian cap.

01:28Kevin Walsh said he would wear the Guardian cap.

01:30So, Ben, we throw it to you.

01:32Would you wear the Guardian cap in the NFL as a quarterback?

01:34Because for me, look, forget about your life expectancy and your quality of life after

01:3850.

01:39Swag is way more important to me.

01:40So there you go.

01:41I know.

01:42I know swag matters more to you.

01:44I don't love the Guardian cap, right?

01:47I don't know how much.

01:49I would have to do my research, DRS, to really see the numbers on if it does reduce concussions

01:54by a ton.

01:55If it did, maybe.

01:58I saw a great meme, by the way.

01:59Mike McDaniel asking Tua Tungabai Lowe to wear a Guardian cap, so he put on Cleveland's

02:04MLB team's hat.

02:06That was pretty good.
