Alright, let’s dive into this Tyreek Hill situation in Miami. He’s been a superstar receiver for years, but lately, things just haven’t been clicking. It’s been back-to-back weeks of struggles for Hill, and it’s becoming clear that something needs to change.
In their game against the Texans, Tua Tagovailoa’s completion percentage when targeting Hill was a dismal 28.6%. But when he threw to any other receiver? Boom! 81.6% completion rate. And then against the 49ers, Hill had some crucial drops that really hurt the Dolphins.
Now, Hill attributed his struggles to a “lack of preparation with Tagovailoa,” but come on, they’ve been playing together for three seasons now. It’s time to face the music: Hill might not be the right fit for Mike McDaniel’s offense anymore.
The Dolphins’ offense is built on speed, and Hill was supposed to be the centerpiece of that attack. But at 31 years old, he might be losing a step. And if he can’t stretch the field like he used to, the whole offense sputters.
So, what’s the solution? Well, I think it’s time for the Dolphins to make a bold move and trade for Deebo Samuel. He’s a dynamic playmaker who can do it all ā run, catch, and make defenders miss. And let’s be honest, he seems a little unhappy in San Francisco.
McDaniel knows Samuel well from their time together with the 49ers. Remember that incredible season Samuel had when McDaniel was the offensive coordinator? 1,405 receiving yards, 6 receiving touchdowns, 365 rushing yards, and 8 rushing touchdowns! That’s the kind of versatility that would make the Dolphins’ offense truly explosive.
This trade would be a win-win for both teams. The 49ers could clear some cap space and get some valuable draft picks, while the Dolphins would get a younger, more dynamic receiver who fits their scheme perfectly. It would also take some pressure off Tua and allow him to thrive.
It’s a bold move, but sometimes that’s what it takes to shake things up and get back on track. If the Dolphins want to be serious contenders, they need to make a change. And trading for Deebo Samuel could be the spark they need to ignite their offense.
