Visor Tua Got Us Believing Again!
Tranquilo Sports TalkMentioned in this episode
Episode Notes
Victory Monday hits different. The Miami Dolphins finally put together a complete game—and we’re breaking down every angle. From “Visor Tua” cooking the No. 1 pass defense to Jordan Brooks playing out of his mind, to real scheme changes (extra OL package, Frank Smith on the sideline) that unlocked the offense and protected the football. Then we pivot to Thursday Night vs. Ravens (Lamar return watch), what Miami must do to stack wins, and how the AFC Playoff picture looks if the Fins split the next two.
We also talk college football: the Miami Hurricanes vs. SMU road test (and our official watch party), quick thoughts on FSU/ACC chaos, and an FIU check-in as CSAtober wraps and Missouri State looms.

🐬 Dolphins Recap (From the Transcript)
Vibes: “First Victory Monday of the year.” Paper-bag era on pause.
Tua Tagovailoa: Confident, decisive—“Visor Tua might be that guy.” Pocket movement + off-script rope to Malik.
Jordan Brooks Flowers: 10 tackles (7 solo), sack, 3 TFL, QB hit, almost a pick. Tone-setter.
Defense: Best outing of the year—DL pressure (Phillips/Chop/Zach Seler), corners benefited, run fits held.
Offense Tweaks:
6-OL/“611” package showed up; heavy sets → counters, HB dives, sweeps, PA.
Frank Smith on the sideline (not the booth) = better communication/adjustments.
Alec Ingold bullying linebackers.
Run game by committee (Ali Gordon short-yardage pop; passing-game wheel TD).
Penalties down, sacks minimized, 37 team rushes → on-schedule football.
Special note: Clean game script: few penalties, 0 freebies, sustained drives.
🔮 TNF: Dolphins vs. Ravens (Preview)
Line chatter: Miami home dogs (~+7.5); total around 50.
Keys:
1st/2nd-down wins to force Lamar into 3rd & long.
Rush-lane integrity (don’t blitz recklessly; contain edges).
Tackle Derrick Henry downhill; force Baltimore to be patient.
Keep heavy/extra-OL looks in the mix; keep run/pass tells muddy.
Explosive-play answers: Waddle, Malik, play-action off wide zone.
If Miami splits Ravens/Bills: the temperature changes fast. Two at home is a gift—cash at least one.
