The Los Angeles Rams (4-4) look for their fourth straight victory as they host the Miami Dolphins (2-6) on Monday Night Football in Week 10. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel , is looking forward to the opportunity to face his former coach. my mate when they shared the touchline together as assistants.

Rams head coach Sean McVay has a great relationship with McDaniel due to the three seasons they spent together as assistants with the Washington Redskins under Mike Shanahan (2011-’13 ). The two have come up through the ranks together and will battle for the first time as head coaches.

McDaniel is in his third season as head coach of the Dolphins with an overall record of 22-22. Although this is the first time the two will face each other as head coaches of their respective teams, the Dolphins boss is very familiar with the type of team McVay will bring on Monday night.

“I think what comes to mind is I know Coach McVay and his team are always a tight team, they do a good job in all three phases,” McDaniel said. “I know he’s going to make sure that his group is very detailed, that they will compete, they will be a challenge. And they will be complementary in the way they play and they will be united in their collective groups. I think that they are a good team who have shown determination and are on a winning streak. You will have to beat them for them to lose and they will not give you anything.

The Dolphins have struggled to regain their high-powered, explosive offense that scored 70 points against the Denver Broncos last season. They are currently the second worst scoring offense, generating just 15.5 points per game.

One of the main reasons for their struggles has been the important connection between star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and eight-time Pro Bowl receiver Tyreek Hill. Last season, the two combined to make 30 catches of 25 yards or more. So far this year, they’ve only done it five times.

McDaniel gave his thoughts on opposing game plans on how two of the NFL’s most potent offensive players have been limited to this point in the season.

“I think it’s important in football, defenses really noticed those explosive plays and tried to prevent it by doubling him,” McDaniel said. “I think as a result, it forced a lot of the offense to get better, it forced Tua to be on the same page with a lot of other eligibles, and it forced our offensive line to block and our runners to run and Tyreek to block a little bit, you do that and you have to understand that in team football, if you’re double teamed, there’s one of your teammates that’s a lot of reasons to. success, I think, due to its technique and fundamentals. experienced growth this year.

The Rams will look to take advantage of a struggling offense while battling one of the best pass defenses in the league. McDaniel and McVay will surely have a few tricks up their sleeves as young coaching prospects who have spent several years learning on the same NFL field.
