The Dolphins were given just 184 yards of offense on Monday night en route to a 31-12 loss to the Titans.

Offensive struggles were to be expected with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa out of action and Tyler Huntley making his first start since signing with the team a week ago, but Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said a “shortened” playbook didn’t explain why the team had such problems . a difficult time on the field.

“I have to watch the tape,” McDaniel said via a team transcript. “There was a huge gap between preparation and execution. So there’s been a lot of contributions, I believe, but I’ll have to check out the tape. The bottom line is that it doesn’t matter what we do behind the scenes. That is not nearly good enough on the field, so you just have to go back to the drawing board and assess very critically.”

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