"A benefit for Ewers is that the Dolphins' offense, as the team faces the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium, is similar to what he ran at Texas. "We both like to motion a lot, like to add a lot of eye candy to the defense," Ewers said Wednesday, "and we run a lot of the same schemes, which has helped a lot.""
""You're trying to make sure you work the concept and attack it in the right principles," Smith said. "It's more of, 'OK, here's the game plan, here's how we're going to attack the defense, here's the different parts of the defense that they have variables that we have to be mindful of and then knowing, inside of that, each play, how does it connect back toward that attack, what are you trying to do.'""
Quinn Ewers was announced as the Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback after Tua Tagovailoa's benching following a poor stretch. Coaches believe Ewers' skill set fits the Dolphins' offense, and the offensive scheme closely resembles what Ewers ran at Texas. The offense uses motion and similar schemes, enabling Ewers to apply familiar concepts. Offensive coordinator Frank Smith emphasized working concepts and attacking the defense according to a game plan with attention to defensive variables. Teammates noted Ewers' confidence and mature presence on the field. The Dolphins prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.
