Miami Dolphins Depth Chart

Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football’. This Afternoon, it is an NFL game, between Los Angeles Rams taking on Miami Dolphins.
 
It is Tua Time in South Florida, as former Alabama Crimson Tide Quarterback Tua Tagovalia will get his first NFL start in his career. There is a lot of hype towards his debut. The Dolphins were under fire for trying to tank for Tua, last year. They did not get the first pick in 2020 NFL Draft. However, they still got him with their #5 overall pick in the draft. He fell to them, because of his hip injury he suffered last year.
 
For the Rams, they are coming off a dominate win against the Bears. But that could be skewed due to the Bears’ ineptitude on offense. But their defense still played well in Monday Night’s game against Chicago.
 
Statistically, this game could be a defensive battle. We have an idea on how the Rams Offense is ran by quarterback Jared Goff. But we are unsure of how the Dolphins Offense is ran by Tua Tagovalia.
 
Rams need a win and a Seahawks loss to 49ers, to move into a tie for 1st place in NFC West. While Dolphns need a win and Bills loss to Patriots to move a 0.5 game behind Bills for AFC East lead (Plus having Head-to-Head tiebreaker currently against Miami).
 
It is Los Angeles Rams taking on Miami Dolphins, coming up shortly. 

Rams are in their blue jerseys, gold pants, and blue and gold helmets. While Dolphins are in their home white uninforms.

Final Thoughts:
Dolphins utilitzed complimentary football to help out Tua Tagovalia, This Afternoon. Dolphins turned 4 Rams turnovers into 21 points. And the other touchdown was a Jakeem Grant 88-yard punt return for a touchdown. 

For the Rams, this was a different ball game than when they beat the Bears, This Past Monday. The only thing going for the Rams' Passing Game, was Cooper Kupp. A setback for the Rams, as they are still chasing Seattle Seahawks. 

Rams will host the Seahawks, Next Sunday. While Dolphins will head to Arizona, to take on Kyler Murray and Arizona Cardinals.
