Mike McDaniel: The performance isn't nearly good enough, everything is on the table to improve it

The Dolphins managed just 184 yards of offense in a 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

Offensive problems were expected with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa out of action and Tyler Huntley starting for the first time since signing with the team a week ago, but Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said a “truncated” playbook doesn't explain why the team such problems had a hard time on the field.

“I have to look at the tape,” McDaniel said of a team transcript. “There was a huge discrepancy between preparation and execution. I think there were a variety of contributors, but I need to see the tape. The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what we do behind the scenes. It’s not even close to good enough on the field, so you just have to go back to the drawing board and be very critical.”

Tagovailoa is out for at least two more games and the 1-3 Dolphins can't afford to keep adding losses to their record, so it's no surprise that McDaniel said “everything is on the table” when it comes to Improve the team's offensive production. Given what the last few weeks have looked like, it's fair to wonder if there's enough in the closet to make a significant difference.
