""W hen you're golfing and your shot is going you don't think about it," Smith began, "and then all of a sudden it's like a throw here or there and you start thinking about things and you get back to your fundamentals. "I think that basically when you're assessing how you play, you always go back to your fundamentals, right?...And I think with the quarterback, and Tua specifically, it's always coming back to my fundamentals because that's where I can improve to be my best.""
""I connect the quarterback's drop through the passing game," Smith said. "And then when you do that, you have different drops, different timings so that way you could connect the skill into what he's doing, so that way you can play on rhythm. "It's basically a giant orchestrated dance, is how you've got to look at it. And that's why our job is to use different launch points, different timings,""
Tua Tagovailoa completed 41 of 64 passes for 501 yards with two touchdowns, three interceptions and a 78.9 passer rating over the recent three-game span while the Dolphins have won three straight. Offensive coordinator Frank Smith emphasizes returning to fundamentals, notably footwork, as the way to correct recent issues. Smith stresses connecting footwork to the quarterback's eyes and dropback depths to maintain timing and rhythm. Smith likens the passing game to a giant orchestrated dance and advocates varied launch points, drop depths and timings so skill players and quarterback operate in rhythm and the offense remains unpredictable.
