For all the media "experts" who said Mailata was a wasted draft pick

7th round draft picks are the picks where you take a lottery ticket player.  Great pick, even if it failed, it was a great pick.

Some of us in the blog thought Mailata should have been starting at LT in game #1 and not move Jason Peters away from RG.🤐

Now we are getting people on the injury report I barely know. Are we down to third and fourth stringers? What the hell is going on.

But there isn’t anyone to pick six it. If he sees the open field, he should lead him that way with the throw. 

Except if they've never practiced that, or Hurts hasn't been practicing catching the ball on the move like that.  Then its a miscommunication and the ball hits the ground.   Hurts is a QB, not a receiver.

I think that’s kind of Forrest Gumping your way to the right answer. Literally nothing suggested Mailata should have been at LT in Week 1.

This really isn’t that hard. Just throw the ball upfield a bit away from McPhee. I think you’re making it out to be more difficult than it is.

ok.  

Whoever mentioned about Tannehilll, I was listening to something last week where they said he started learning QB very late and was over drafted by the Dolphins and therefore not ready.  He had that 1 stellar season before getting the knee injury.  So, now he is starting to play to his talent as he has learned the QB game.

Thinking on Mailata, the last 2 games have been against 2 quality DLs and some unique fronts and blitzes.  It says a lot of for Stoutland that he managed to get him as ready as he could, with no real game prep.  He has a long way to go and has to sustain this, but it looks positive.

Baldy’s commentary makes that video even better. 

Highway 68.  Baldy might have given Mailata a nickname with that.  Just follow Highway 68.  

I love how he not only does a rugby near spear tackle and knocks the ball out, but afterwards when Clark is trying to get up Mailata pushes him back down.  On the other angle where you don't see that I thought the 2-3 Ravens D players who were trying to get in Mailata's face and have a verbal go at him were mad about the tackle, but they are probably mad that he pushed him back down.  And the one block on Campbell where he knocks him down and then falls on him is great.  Keep encouraging that rugby mentality, within the rules, and keep coaching him up on technique and he's going to be a very special player for us.

For the record, he looks great and I was wrong about him, but some perspective on his stats. 

Other teams stopped covering him because they had the lead?

He still has to get open and make the catch.

Pack were down dbl digits yesterday and still couldn't get the completions .

Coverages and schemes do change based on game situation.

Mailata is a top 5 athlete on the team. He was competing at LT with Jason Peters (weakening RG in the process), Driscoll and Matt Pryor. Mailata was always the correct answer, if only to get closure on him. 

I'm sure they do ,but not to let your man get open scheme 

Prevent  d ,I get it but that comes into play at the closing mins of game

How many of JJs 44 % ,came with under 5 mins in the game?

Because teams up dbl digits the rest of the game , play coverage

The funniest part about that was that they only came up to about his chest, so it looked like they were 12-year-olds.

He also had a massive block on the final two point conversion. All Wentz had to do was follow him into the endzone.

Obviously I don’t have that information at my fingertips. 

I hadn’t seen this Derrick Henry run until today.  This is just filthy; by my calculation he ran 97 yards after taking the handoff in about 12.5 seconds, while breaking tackles:

 

Bill's vs kc will be messy weather, I like to see Bill's get the W

Tannehill's a good quarterback, but as always in football he's benefiting from everything they do on offense working. Smashing running game, OL playing well, good coaching, etc. It's a team game. Too often we try to evaluate players separately and fail to realize just how much it's a team game.

Arthur Smith has done a great job. Awesome scheme. Among the highest depth of targets and play-action rate. They have some fun pieces on offense too. 

I don't know much about the Giants.  Without Barkley I have no idea what they are.  What are their strengths?  Weaknesses?  The Eagles should be the better team but the injuries are just ridiculous.  

Daniel Jones shouldn't beat them.  

An even better look at Mailata on the tackle.  What I really like after he throws Clark down again is he shows some attitude behind it.  Man bring that nasty back to the line.

Jason Garrett doesn’t know either.

Yup I had no interest in peters being LT after dillard went down and that they were trying Pryor out at LT was a bigger joke. As soon as dillard went down the next guy up should have been Mailata but it took two guys getting hurt and Pryor sucking to put Mailata in at LT.

Could of saved us all the trouble by just rolling with Mailata.

Glad he's there now, the only time he should leave is if his leg falls off and even then he might be better than peters at LT definitely better than Pryor at LT.

I get that - I think it may have been Chris Simms who said it.  The point was, regardless of scheme, he was green as goose ish and now he's hit the right system and away from the Miami dysfunction, he's what Miami thought they were getting

I trust Stoutland as much as any coach we’ve ever had. He clearly saw no reason to put Mailata in over Peters even if Mailata had youth on his side.

If you have game pass just watching the end of that game. It was absolutely phenomenal offensive of football. That was a Really fun game to watch. Reminded me a lot of the rams/eagles 2017 game
