They're only rushing four and Tua doesn't have a super strong arm.

So the Dolphins blitzed a lot, but they also did some of this deep zone stuff to try to take away the big play in their tiny little windows.

And Josh Allen can rip it into those windows.

And so when they are small windows to get deep downfield, if you have the arm strength and the accuracy and the anticipation, which is what Tua used to be, like the end cuts on anticipation, then you can hit it.

But I think that a lot of teams have decided that the way that they want to play Tua is challenge him to be able to attack downfield.

challenge his team to have a really long drive without making a mistake by forcing them to check down and try to take Tyreek Hill out of the game.

And if you're going to attack us downfield, you're going to have to squeeze it into a small zone with a quarterback who is not known for his arm strength.

No, I think it's somewhat of a change.

They ran the ball well last night, but they ran the ball better in the past, which then that would cause the guys to come up and be a little more aggressive.

And also, I think the like anticipatory throws and the Tyreek Hill rolling out of these cuts into the end cuts, like I think it was slightly different.

It was a little newer.

And I think combining all those things and Tua has taken more and more hits.

So I think that's also part of it where they're like, we're going to make him stand in this pocket.

And we assume that he doesn't want to hit.

We know you don't want him to get hit.

So we're going to try to make this play take as long as possible because if you extend the play and like, I haven't talked to, to the, the bills coaching staff, but when I'm watching that tape, that's what I'm thinking is they're like,

Please, the more times we make you do this, the more likely you're going to make a mistake.

So whether it's make you check down or make you try to squeeze it into a zone deep down the field or hold you or keep the coverage so long that you have to flush out of the pocket and create something on your own, either run or throw in a run, you are going to make a mistake.

And Tua actually made fewer mistakes last night than I think the Bills expected him to, but the defense couldn't hold up.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's what they're hoping for.
