Dolphans 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.640 And welcome back to the Drive Time Podcast, part of 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:25.160 the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.800 How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.520 And on today's show, we are kicking off the training 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.479 camp preview series. That's right, football is right around the corner. 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.519 We're gonna take an in depth look under center at 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.880 the quarterback position, stats, facts, film, and much more onto 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.320 a tongue of by Loa, Jacoby Brissette and Read Senet 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:50.520 Plus will continue our NFL season preview, taking a look 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.279 at the very intriguing a f C South Busy Busy episode. 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.400 All of that and more on this edition of the 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:03.080 Drive Time Podcast My Time, So what's going on? Are 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.800 your buddy? We are back after being gone for a 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.440 couple of weeks and back on the daily schedule with 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.920 you all here. And this was my first really extended 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.320 break and podcasting since I began all of this back 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:19.520 in ten with the Analysis Podcast and my co host 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.759 Kevin Dern. Well that's not quite true, because we were 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.040 a twice a week podcast there with me and Kevin. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.760 But before locked on Dolphins became my daily gig in 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.040 twenty seventeen, and I don't think I ever missed a 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.440 day with Locked On Dolphins. I even remember asking the 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.559 boss man, Mr. David Lock himself about pushing a show 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.759 one week and he asked me why, and I said, well, 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.200 because it's Thanksgiving and we have plans today, and he 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.920 had totally forgotten about the holiday. And we had a 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.360 great laugh about that because we were both so entrenched 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.000 with the work and building up Locked On Sports. And again, 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.720 it's so cool see what they've continued to build over 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.720 there with Locked On Sports. But this time of the calendar, 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:57.960 the middle of the summer, it's kind of like summer 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.560 vacation for kids right in school. We have the perfect 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.160 time to kind of disconnect and kind of re center 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.960 your che as it were, and come back rejunated. And 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.000 guess what, it worked. I do feel recharged. You know. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.639 One thing we got to do was we got to 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.240 go camping with my wife's family, something we do every 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.160 Fourth of July weekend. They go up to the mountains. 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.880 It's a nice break from the eastern Washington heat as 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.480 you get up into the mountains and around seven year 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.120 eighty degrees or so, and let's just go ahead and 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.560 set the scene at camping here, because normally when I 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.920 would go camping, and it's not my favorite thing to do, actually, 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:32.680 I really don't like it at all. But we go 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.480 up and just hang out and enjoy it one day 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.680 in the outdoors. We don't sleep outdoors, we go back home. 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.839 That's that's how I prefer it. But when I would 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.880 go camping as a child, it was, you know, you 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.720 get the RV, you get the van, you go to 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.840 a cabin something like that where you have your domestic 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.360 level of of bliss, but you also can enjoy the 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.880 outdoors that way. But that's not how this camping is. 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.880 Because they love the outdoors. They go horseback, right, and 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.480 they get the four wheelers out there. They're setting up traps, 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.640 capturing animals, cook in them and keeping the skins. And 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.799 one of the things that was hilarious to me. You've 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.160 all have seen Happy Gilmore right when Happy first goes 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:08.840 to the tea block at his first tournament, and the 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.680 golf pro says, look where he's standing. While I'm sitting 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.720 there minding my own business. I've got a cour slide 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.280 open up and joined the sunshine and the nice weather, 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.960 and all of a sudden, the skin of the chipmunk 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.640 that they had caught and cooked comes flying at me 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.040 and it lands on my lap and I grab it 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:26.880 by the ear, pinched the very ear of it so 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.960 I'm not touching any of it, and I throw it 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.799 back to my wife's stepfather, who again, this guy is 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.800 the outdoor manliest man you can never think of. And 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.120 as I do that to him, he says, to everybody else, 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.960 look at where he grabbed. He grabbed it by the ear, 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.840 just like the guy and happy gilmore So that was 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.119 a fun moment. We're gonna get into the positional previews. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.920 The training camp previews up on Miami Dolphins dot com 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.680 right now. The schedule is as follows. For now. We 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.160 couldn't move some things around depending on when those deadlines hit. 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:59.160 But quarterbacks on Tuesday July, Wednesday, running backs on Thursday, 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.360 tight ends day. Receivers will come back next Monday on 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.000 the nineties with the offensive line on Tuesday, July interior 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.800 defensive line. Wednesday, will do edge slash on ball linebackers. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:17.080 You're Jalen Phillips types. Thursday, I'll do off ball linebackers Friday, Cornerbacks, Monday, Safeties, 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:22.880 Tuesday Specialists, and then Wednesday we have practice Miami Dolphins 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:27.640 practice the first edition of the new one Miami Dolphins 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.839 post O t S, which I don't really count as 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.560 the actual season itself. So at the position in is 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.719 Jacoby Brissette, formerly of the Colts and the Patriots. Out 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.560 is Ryan Fitzpatrick. He is now in Washington. Best of 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.320 luck to fits out there in the nation's capitol. Read 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.920 senet and to a tongue by low of the incumbents, 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.360 and Charlie Fry is the new quarterbacks coach. Charlie Fright 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.080 enters his first season as QB's coach here in Miami. 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.440 After a five year playing career, Fry entered the coaching 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.800 ranks at the high school level before climbing into his 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.000 most recent role as O C with the Central Mission 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.040 again chippaw Was, he worked with quarterbacks receivers. He also 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.960 served as a director of player Personnel with the Florida 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.400 Gators between twenty team and seventeen, so he kind of 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.480 fits that mold we've talked about here on the podcast 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.760 where a lot of these coaches under Brian flores umbrella 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.120 under his staff as he was himself, have worked multiple 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.760 different positions on personnel with coaching both sides of the football, 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.800 special teams. You get the best all a cart type 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.120 of coaching staff when you bring in guys like that. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.680 So talking about what's most important at this position, this year, 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:33.800 it's the year to jump, right, That's what we all 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.760 look for. That's what we all talk about. And the 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.160 last time we really anticipated a possible year to jump 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:43.080 was that season the year after Ryan Tannehill's rookie year 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.320 where he did receive a nice little bump in his 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.920 statistics in his play and that was an awfully pedestrian 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.920 offense in twelve that just did not have the firepower 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.599 and then they kind of revamped the offense to try 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.280 to get him more weapons. But back to the modern day, 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.479 this is what Brian Flores had to say about two 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.840 was offseason and what this time this spring and summer 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.599 has meant for the old quarterback from the Joe Row 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.960 Show on five six w q A m back in 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.080 may To is more comfortable with just his surroundings, more 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.800 comfortable being in the huddle, giving a cadence, going through 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.960 his communication. Those little things that no one really talks about. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.200 He said this, he feels much more comfortable about doing 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.679 those things. I think having a year under his belt 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.880 will really help him. And there's this is outside of 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.480 the quote. Now there's this perception that the rookie season 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.320 wasn't good or went off the rails a little bit, 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.200 and to himself said that it wasn't up to his standard. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.880 And I can believe that because his standard has never 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.680 been the norm really in his entire football life. I mean, 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.280 the number one dual threat quarterback in the nation as 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.600 a prep, a record breaking offense and quarterback in college football. 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.240 There Alabama National champion his first season on campus, where 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.200 he comes off the bench and rescues the game after 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:56.240 trailing by thirteen at half, throwing these perfectly placed long balls, 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.279 timing and quick rhythm hitters to create yards after the 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.960 catch and those opportunities for the most loaded receiver's corps 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.800 in college football. I mean, it takes a special quarterback 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.279 to keep four first round receivers fed and happy. Right 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.560 like you, you would think that's the case. And you've 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.480 heard me discuss all of this podcast this offseason, and 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.200 for that matter, all of the pre draft and post 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.000 draft into tongue by Lowa's rookie sees him his control 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.800 of the football to spin it and place it despite 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.920 his platform, whether his feet are set, whether he's not set, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.880 whether it's in the middle of his drop that he 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.800 has to interrupt coming off the top of the drop, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.400 driving up into the pocket, fleeing to the left or 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.400 to the right, the way he can kind of move 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.800 those hips and clear those hips and fire the football. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.960 And that's the physical set of it, the knowledge with 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.800 the mental side of it to displace defenders not just 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.680 with his eyes, but body position, influencing players based upon 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.840 his hips and his feet and the direction of his 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.960 shoulders where he's square too, and to attack based upon 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.920 the structure of the defense, knowing the route concept he 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.480 has on offense and what the defense might be keying 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.640 on in that particular concept. I mean, we saw in 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.600 O t S this year. I tweeted about it, the 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.560 deep shot to Jachim Grant that we had a great 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.640 video of from our fantastic video team. The middle of 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.200 the field safety starts to cheat that way a little bit, 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.160 and the cameras show an up close shot of Twa 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.560 on that throw to Jachim where he starts, Jachim to 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.720 the right, flips his hips back to the post and 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.400 you can watch this on Twitter. It's all right there 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.640 for you. Flips his hips back to the post and 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.440 then right back over to the right side of the 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.120 formation to square up to his target and flow a 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.440 perfectly placed ball that intersects with Jachim in full stride, 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.400 just out of reach of the underneath corner and the 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.520 display safety over the top. These are the details, the 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.440 fine ones that really separate quarterbacks for my money. Nick Saban, 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.600 of course, the great head coach at Alabama, talked about 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.400 it on his ESPN Details show, showing where to was 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.880 getting to his third or fourth read on some throws 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.920 and down the field vertical throws on a full field 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.520 read and saying that he's never coached a kid in 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.000 college who can do that stuff. He's also very light 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.680 on his feet, the ability to spring from one step 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.240 into another, which changes the angle and sees rushers fly by. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.480 More on that here in just one second. Chris Kaufman 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.839 c K Parrott on Twitter had a great tweet earlier 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.120 where he showed a video of to A getting to 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.040 his drop and pressure arriving and getting the football out 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.720 as he interrupted that drop. You watch his feet on 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.000 that clip, and it doesn't really make sense how he's 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.520 able to almost mid stride, pick his foot back up 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.360 and replace it so that he can get to a 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.200 different platform and change the angle for the pass rusher. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.800 It's a real special ability I noticed early on to 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.679 his career that I think is very, very overlooked as 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.760 far as the footwork goes so quick release, quick twitch, 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.920 pocket mobility, enough speed to present a threat as a 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.200 runner on design runs, keeper zone reads, that sort of thing, 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.440 some of the most decorated ball places when we've ever 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.040 seen in college football, the ability to get off his 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.679 spot and the light feet to allude rushers. And even 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.840 in a year where it wasn't up to his own standards, 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.240 those traits were still on display in nine starts as 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.400 a rookie, six and three as a starter, like this 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.600 chart from Hayden Winks at Underdog Fantasy Sport. He does 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.120 some great work. You can follow him at Hayden Winks 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.520 on Twitter. This on target clean pocket chart that he 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:18.640 posted got a lot of feedback, push back, and just 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.960 overall generalized discussion based upon that chart and basically what 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.520 this chart was doing was looking at the depth of 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:30.400 target as well as the on target throw percentage, which 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.160 is defined by I think it was Next Gen or 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.960 Pro Football Focus. I'll have to forgive me there if 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.480 for not knowing exactly the site that he was referencing her, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.480 but it references throws that are in stride that the 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.840 receiver doesn't have to break stride or off the body, 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.360 off the frame type of throw. So it measures every 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.640 quarterback in the NFL and their accuracy on clean pocket 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.600 throw so no pressure. The depth of the target was 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.040 right around eight point five yards down the field and 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:58.560 the on target rate was just a smidge below. There's 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.360 no hash marks here, but to me like on the chart, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:07.000 only ten quarterbacks were higher on the accuracy chart, and 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:11.040 one of those ten, only one, Dak Prescott of the Cowboys, 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.160 had a higher depth of target on clean pocket throws 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:18.040 in terms of quarterbacks that completed or better of their throws, 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:22.120 and the company immediately around two on that chart, Ryan Tannehill, 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.200 who's been the highest rated passer in NFL the last 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.600 two years. Matt Stafford, who we all know and love 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.120 as far as what he can do with the football, 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.680 and the Rams have huge expectations with him this year, 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:35.320 Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson, and Joe Burrow not bad at all. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.520 And I keep posting these things because to me, all 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.040 stats have a place in football. It's an unquantifiable game, 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.400 so we use an infinite amount of data to try 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.600 our best to well quantify it. And a common reply 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.120 that I saw that this was a pointless chart, a 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.760 pointless stat, and I could not disagree more. I've mentioned 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.000 my quarterback charting website on here a million times now 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.800 and a good example of that would be seen for 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.760 Carson Wentzle's actually go ahead and come back to that 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.520 real quick, because I mean, what do you want from 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.880 stuff like this? It's a measurement for accuracy when the 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.640 play structure is sound and the surrounding cast executes their job. 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.840 Why does it have to be a b S stat 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.079 because the guy that you think is best didn't finish 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.040 the top of it. A few things irk me more 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.520 than when you see a list of quarterbacks or players 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.640 in this league that doesn't go down the you know, 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.800 Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady like. Just because those 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.240 guys are not at the top of the list does 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.840 not mean it's not a valid list, and when you 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:39.079 watch the tape, you can predict who is structurally sound 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.600 in this area and who will rank a top in 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.840 this area. Because I will never, ever, ever ever forget 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.800 again that third and ten dot Com study I did 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.760 where I created my own evaluation for quarterback passing. It 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.760 was Carson Wentz's rookie season, and I was so impressed 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.360 by his ability to make plays when things broke down 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.839 around him. But the reason his grade was not very 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.080 good wold and he finished twenty three in the charging 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.600 that year and the Eagles went six and ten was 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.320 because there was way too many layups that missed and 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.520 hamstrung the offense put them in a second down and 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.560 ten opposed to second and four, and kept that offense 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.120 off schedule, kept them low and scoring, and of course 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.080 they finished six and ten that season. Now, the following 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.120 year in seventeen, he would continue to do the magic 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.240 stuff as far as making guys miss and and create plays, 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.920 but he also corrected the rookie season misses on those 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.560 layups those in structure throws. The Eagles go thirteen and three. 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.240 Of course he gets injured that year would have an 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.400 m v P if he did not most likely, and 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.760 they go on to win the Super Bowl again with 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.480 Nick Foles. But you get the idea. Once he fixed 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.280 the structural stuff, the stuff that makes up I don't 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:47.360 know se of the position, the Eagles offense took that 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.520 next step and his highlight level plays became even more 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.960 highlight level because they were in position to make more 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.880 of them because the offense was on the field and 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.440 executing at a higher rate. Does that all make sense? 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.520 I hope it does. I tweeted this the other day 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.840 in regards to Greg Costell's comment about playing in structure 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.760 and how playing instructure and in rhythm is about he's 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.080 had of playing the position and the highlight reel stuff 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.280 isn't enough to make you a consistent good starter, And 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.079 that's kind of what I think gets lost in the 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.200 shuffle here. The highlight reel is the good and bad. 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.680 That stuff really sticks out in people's minds. But it's 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.720 the tight windows shots against a zone look that creates 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.680 this triangle of underneath, over the top and robber coverage 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:32.840 that requires an anticipatory throw and perfect location away from 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.880 a defender and the leverage of that defender, for instance, 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.000 like a third and twelve conversion from TWA to Gisicki 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.640 in the Kansas City game last year that Tony Romo 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.240 raved over in real time, and then later in his 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.560 breakdowns on NFL Live, Dan Orlovsky went in on that 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.040 and shows you how special that throw was. So two 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.280 ranks in the top ten and clean pocket on target throws. 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.800 But even just the misconception of it all isn't enough, 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.640 because he was also second in eluding pressure rate per 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.680 Pro Football Focus. So what are we talking about here? 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.040 How about the company that he keeps in regards to 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.960 evading pressure Number one in the NFL last season Josh 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.960 Allen twenty six point one percent of the time evaded 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.120 initial pressure to a number two at twenty four point 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:18.480 two percent. How about this company next, Lamar Jackson, Kyler 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.760 Murray nineteen point four percent, then Derek carrd nineteen point 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.280 one percent. And Derek Carr has just been much better 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.760 than I personally gave him credit for, again going back 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.280 to third and ten dot Com early on in his career, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.160 He's been the real key consistent cog for that Raiders 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.040 offense in the Gruden era in my opinion. But back 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:36.560 to our guy here, I want to take a look 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.440 at a couple more splits here before I move on. 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.160 The first six games for two as a starter per 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:47.080 NFL media research, nine touchdowns, one interception, point one passer rating, 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.400 And yeah, the y p A wasn't great at six 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.880 point six, but it was respectable enough, especially for a 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.040 rookie quarterback in his first few starts. Then in weeks 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.200 fifteen through seventeen, five point seven y p A two 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.920 to four touchdown to interception ratio and a seventy two 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.920 point eight passer rating. Well, what happened in week fifteen? 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.640 You guys remember that that was when the injuries became 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.320 almost to the point of comical. At one point in 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.760 the game, after Joachim DeVante and Mike Gaziki were all 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.920 out injured the Dolphins top seven players, and mind you, 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.080 they were without Miles Gascon in that game as well. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.040 Preston Williams was also down in that game. They were 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.600 without their top seven players in terms of yards from scrimmage. 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.600 They had all been injured and we're not available, so 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.360 top seven guys are out. Who can possibly survive that? 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.840 Well Miami did and they won that game. So it 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.360 was an uphill climb for the offense and to a 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:39.440 winds up with the second highest tight window throw percentage 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.600 in the NFL last year, he threw into tight windows 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.080 more than all quarterbacks but one. And what does he 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.640 do in that stat He finished his first and tight 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.440 window thrill completion rate with forty seven point five per 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.480 And significant credit here to the receivers because this group 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:56.120 really excels at catching contested football's. He was second and 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.640 passer rating behind just Aaron Rodgers at a three point 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.560 four ascerating and ahead of Derek Carr, Tom Brady and 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:06.000 Drew Brees. And he was third in touchdown to interception 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.960 ratio on these tight window throws, which are defined as 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.879 one yard of separation. And mind you, this is GPS tracked. 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.199 There's no gray area. It's black and white. So I 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.560 look at that the accuracy from the clean pocket, the 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.639 accuracy when lanes are contested, and the ability to create 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.240 when the pocket is compromised, and you look to create 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.920 more easy throws in the future. Now with the addition 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.080 of Jalen Waddle will fuller yards after the catch guys, 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.320 and more on them here later this week. I just 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.600 don't see what we're missing here. Let's get to the 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.159 rest of the room. Jacoby Brissette is here now. He 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.680 has replaced Ryan Fitzpatrick, has kind of the old hat 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.840 in the room. He wears number fourteen, five years experienced 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.359 North Carolina State. He'll be twenty eight years old on 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.480 opening day. And what I found most interesting about Brissette 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.000 was twice in his career he really rose to the 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.880 challenge of a late promotion into the lineup. First, as 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:56.840 a rookie, he comes off the bench, and you might 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.840 remember this in in that Week two game against the 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.520 pay Atriots, Garoppolo gets hurt, Brissette comes into the game, 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.320 and then the following week he starts again and leads 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.879 the Patriots on a short week on Thursday night to 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:12.760 a zero win over the Houston Texans. Then in Brissette 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.560 was unexpectedly named the starter following the shocking retirement of 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.159 Andrew Luck, and Brissette brings the Colts out of the 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.320 box to a five and to start, while posting a 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.199 ninety nine point three passer rating in the process. So, 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.119 Jacoby Brissette, when things kind of are chaotic and he 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:28.920 has to get in the game, grab the helmet, get 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.159 yourself go, and get yourself ready. He can jump in 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.880 there and hold the fort And the best part about 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.840 Jacoby Brissette he has a career interception rate of one 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.560 point three percent. That's the best in the history of 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.080 the National Football League minimum nine attempts. I think he 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.120 does a great job getting the offense into the right looks, 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.080 getting his box count, getting him into the right run 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.400 or pass play. Coming off the bench in a pinch, 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.160 manage a game and execute a game plan and get 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.679 the football to an open man. The other quarterback on 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.639 the roster, read Sennette, number four, has one year of 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:00.639 NFL experience. He went to San Diego. He'll be twenty 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.680 four years old on opening Day. He was a U 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.040 d f A with a Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.560 before signing with Miami on the practice squad on September. 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:11.640 He has yet to take an NFL snap, but he 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.280 did explode in his one season as the starter at 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.119 San Diego, when he threw for three thousand, five hundred 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.080 and twenty eight yards thirty two touchdowns and he added 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.479 a hundred and seventy four yards on the ground with 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.240 six touchdowns, where he was also a finalist for the 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.520 Walter Payton Award. Which is awarded annually to the most 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:33.119 outstanding offensive player in Division one Football Championship sub Division. 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.120 So there's your quarterback preview tomorrow running backs coming up. 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.800 Let's go ahead and finish out this podcast by continuing 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.560 our NFL preview series and take a look at the 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.879 a f C South. And this division is one of 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:47.159 the more intriguing ones to me because you know, it 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.240 might not have the Juggernaut team, and maybe they do. 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.080 I'm not really sure yet. None of us are really sure. 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:55.160 But I find the divisions that have three possibly good teams, 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:57.560 three or four possibly good teams to be the most intriguing. 0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:59.159
