Dolphins Coach Mike McDaniel on Blowout Loss to Colts: 'The Good News Is I Don't See How It Could Be Worse'

Rex Ryan criticized Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel for poor team respect and strategy after a 33-8 loss, highlighting three turnovers by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

  • On Monday, Rex Ryan tore into Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel on ESPN's Get Up after their 33-8 Week 1 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
  • After Sunday's game, analysts pointed to Miami Dolphins' 211 yards and three turnovers, with Rex Ryan criticizing Mike McDaniel for not benching Tua Tagovailoa after multiple mistakes.
  • Mike McDaniel, Miami Dolphins head coach, told reporters the defeat was 'miserable' and `It was not fun`, adding the team watched 93 plays on Monday and 'did not splinter' despite breakdowns like Zach Sieler's rush-lane vacating.
  • With momentum slipping, McDaniel's job could become a hot topic as team ownership might lose patience if blowouts persist, and Tyreek Hill could seek a trade if poor results continue.
  • Given his 28-24 record, McDaniel faces a tough schedule until Week 12, including 4 playoff teams and 5 better-performing opponents.
