WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Bills Week 18 All 22 Review

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. Now let me check

0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>your pulse if you're not. What is up? Dolphins?

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 2>And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, part of the

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Miami Dolphins podcast network covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>How's it going everybody?

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 2>I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>our last regular season all twenty two review a painful

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 2>experience revisiting the tape of the Dolphins' collapse in the

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Week eighteen loss of the Buffalo Bills.

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>We'll take a look at the.

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>Top five tapes, go over the offense and the defense,

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and some snap counts, tell you where it went wrong,

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 2>what worked, and much much more from the Baptist Health

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is.

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>The Draft Time Podcast. Maggie Gaffie. Once again, no big

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 1>play breakdown.

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Don't feel like that's necessary here on a day where

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 2>you don't have a lot of big plays. And so

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 2>we'll just go ahead and kick it off with the

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>top five tapes here, and we're gonna start with Christian Wilkins,

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>who is my number one tape in the finale.

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what more can you say about this guy?

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Our ability as a defense to win against the run

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>from light boxes essentially runs through ninety four and ninety two.

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>The tackle that Christian made on the QB draw prior

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>to the Deshaun Elliott pick was just a microcosm of

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 2>the type of player that he is. He allows you

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 2>in this Vic Fangio defense that has been pioneered by

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 2>the guy that works here, Vic Fangio, and has been

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>replicated by the entire National Football League as one of

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>the primary coverages and structures there is in the NFL.

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 2>And you can only do that when you have players

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 2>like Christian Wilkins, like Zach Seeler, like David Long, and

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>like a Deshaun Elliott as well, because you have to

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>have guys that can play bigger than their stature inside

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>and Wilkins is no slouch. But my goodness, his ability

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 2>to get off blocks.

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean in this you know, the way he can fit.

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Against those with those light boxes, against bigger, beefier offensive

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 2>lineman to shut down runners or in this case, the quarterback.

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>They think they have a lane, but then he gets

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>off a block and makes the play and closes that

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 2>laying down because they're viewing it as he's engaged in

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>a block and there's no second level defender to come

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 2>down to make the hit or make the tackle, so

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 2>they can square it through that hole. But he can

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 2>do it by either coming off the block, out the

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>outside the leverage or where the block is. But he

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>can also get back over the top of that leverage,

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>which is where it really becomes impressive. And that's the

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>reason why he had those insane tackle stats in the

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>previous system that relied upon basically every single snap being

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>a two gap.

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Defender on down by down basis.

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>But now he gets those looks and he gets a

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>lot more one on one rush opportunities, and oh look,

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 2>he's paid that off with a career high nine sacks

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>on the season, So six pressures in the game, a sack,

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>of forced fumblefult recovery three stops an elite game from

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>an elite player who I just think, you have to

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 2>find a way to keep this guy, and I trust

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>that they will make that happen. With Christian Wilkins in

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 2>a breakout, breakout year and was already a very good

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 2>career second and top tape devon a chan man. The

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 2>way this guy moves, I cannot wait to see what

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 2>his second season looks like hopefully no preseason injury this

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 2>time that limits his early usage or his campability, but

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>also just having a year of tape on tape, but

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>coaching the staff, you know, for them to devise even

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>more of a you know, a package or an offense

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe even around this guy, because the way that he

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 2>sees it with the speed and contact balance that he

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 2>possesses is freaky rare man. Sometimes I can't process his

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>tracks live, but when you go back and slow it

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>down on tape, he's usually like a step or two ahead,

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Like he presses certain angles or blocks or defenders in

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 2>a way that sets them up for the move he's

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 2>about to make it. If you're not coming downhill at

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the right track, you're going to miss him. Jordan Poyer

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 2>learned that firsthand. If you're flat footed, good luck with that.

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>And that touchdown run again a good example, like he

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 2>lulled him to sleep because he stretched it out and

0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 2>it looked like they were.

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Gonna be kind of racing the ball to the perimeter.

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>But then he puts his foot in the ground and

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>hits the gas and is able to make the move

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>off of that acceleration that you know Poyer looked like

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>when in Madden the player runs by the juke move

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>that you put on him at works successfully and they

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 2>kind of like turn back and run back the other direction.

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>That's what Poyer looked like on that play. Turn him

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 2>into a video game character. He had forty four yards

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>after contact of his sixty total on the ground. That

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 2>was four point eight nine yards per rush just after contact.

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 2>He's a five yards per carry back after initial contact.

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Three miss tackles for us. He had three runs of

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.359
<v Speaker 2>ten plus yards, two of fifteen plus yards, and he

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>averaged six point seven yards per carry demon a chan,

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 2>What a heck of a player he is. My third

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>top tape is Rob Hunt Man. We missed this dude.

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 2>If you heard these podcasts on these Tuesdays, you know

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>how I felt about the previous lineup and the absence

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>of Rob hunt with Connor Williams. What that meant as

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 2>far as Rob Jones, who I think has played really

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>well in his the stint of starting games for Rob Jones,

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>But there was some deficiencies at the other guard position.

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 2>I was you see they moved Rob Jones back over

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 2>there because now all of a sudden, you know, I

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 2>thought Liam Eichenberg played pretty well. Rob Hunt was my

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.840
<v Speaker 2>third top tape, and I thought Rob Jones played a

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.239
<v Speaker 2>good game. But Rob Hunt is kind of the lynchpin,

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 2>the Jenga piece that keeps that all together. Just an

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 2>ass kicker man, like so many times guys are engaged

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 2>and he goes and gets a stack of ribs, or

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>he comes off of a you know, a stunt or

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 2>a twist and picks a rusher and puts him on

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>his backside, puts guys in the dirt. He attaches in space,

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 2>was superb, picking up gains and games and passing off help.

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Just a very very nice tape for Rob Hunt coming back.

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 2>He also made the critical block that allowed a chan

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>to put his foot in the ground and get north

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 2>and south on that touchdown run. PFF said no pressures

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>allowed for Rob Hunt, but who the hell knows because

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 2>PFF's numbers, I don't understand them anymore. Like they had

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>no drops for Tyreek Hill. Tyrek had like three drops

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 2>in the game. The fourth top tape is Deshaun Elliott.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I just love his game. I think and hope he'll

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 2>be back as well. So many crucial run fits where

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 2>he's you know, he's so tough working laterally taking on blocks,

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 2>and there was a play. Remember the game against the

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Bengals in twenty twenty or twenty twenty one, you probably don't.

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 2>It was the year that Joe it was his rookie

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 2>years would been twenty twenty, so Joe Burrow had gotten

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 2>hurt and they were a terrible football team, and the

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins were favored in that game to win. But the

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 2>touchdown that was the first touchdown of the game was

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.359
<v Speaker 2>a Tyler Boyd like seventy five yard pass up the

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 2>sideline on a screen pass and we lost outside contain

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 2>and went underneath a underneath the rub or the block

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>out there, and it was an easy, like walk in

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 2>seventy five yard touchdown. The way Elliott defends that perimeter

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 2>like he can be engaged on the tight end or

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 2>the receiver or whoever it is out there on him,

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 2>but he can still work wide and keep that outside

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>shoulder free, which allows him to set the edge and

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 2>turn the play back to the inside. But if the

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 2>ballcarrier bounces it wide, he can also play with that

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>off arm and go make the play.

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>His coverage is good, He's typically in the right spot.

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it's probably the weak spot of his game,

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 2>but for the most part, he's typically in the right spots.

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I just think that he has you know, he's a

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 2>good like all too safety in this defense. And you

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>saw in this game twenty three yards allowed on five

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 2>targets and forty six coverage snaps. He also had three

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 2>stops on eleven total tackles, and those three stops, like,

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't spend a ton of time down in the box,

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 2>but when he does, he's very impactful. My fifth top tape,

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>I had two cornerbacks here and I went back and forth,

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going with Jalen Ramsey, who would have been

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 2>higher if not for the rep on the deep digs miss.

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 2>And no, we don't grade for results rather process. So

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 2>this is taking into account that he could have been

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 2>beaten for what was a ninety one yard touchdown passes

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Stefon Diggs because that was a quarters look excuse me,

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 2>where he's got deep responsibility to that portion of the

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 2>field and we send an all out blitz and they

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 2>had been throwing hot and checking the ball down, not

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 2>checking the ball down, but throwing the ball to the

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 2>hookups and the hots on those all out blitz looks

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 2>and he tried to get cute and jump that, but

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 2>it comes with the double move, which is a good

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>call by the Bills offense and their play caller, and

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>he got beat. But luckily the rush impacted the throw

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>enough to whear. It didn't matter that Allen missed him

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 2>by several yards. Besides that, it's this the game plan

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 2>from a coverage standpoint really hinged on a Ramsey's freaky

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>movement skills, be his communication and leadership to get guys aligned,

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>to make the calls and switches and get that stuff

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 2>all communicated, and see the fact that you can trust

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 2>him to cover a guy like Stefan Diggs and really

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 2>hold him and check for most of the game, mostly Diggs.

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Big plays came on Eli Apple forty five covered snaps,

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>forty yards allowed, three for four passing and my just

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 2>missed I mentioned Eli Apple. We'll talk about him here

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 2>in a minute. He's on there, so is Jerome Baker,

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 2>so is Zach Sealer. Offensive notes for this one. I

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>actually have come around on that little fake give reverse

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>flip play that we run that seems to be stuck

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 2>in the craw of some Dolphins fans because it does

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 2>generate overplay and you saw it on the second snap

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 2>of the game and it produced a sixteen yard run

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 2>for Devon a Chan. But we've ran it twice in

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 2>a row, back to back plays so many times this season,

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 2>and I will I would bet money that every time

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 2>you run it on the second rep, you've lost yardage

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 2>if not seventy five percent of those runs.

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:03.959
<v Speaker 1>And why does it not work?

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Because the defense just saw it and they they they're

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 2>not gonna fall step a second time in a row.

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 1>So I don't understand that.

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.319
<v Speaker 2>But it happens, and we roll it out there and

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>it's explosive on the first play, and then we lose

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 2>yards on the second play and get behind the chains.

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I will reserve judgment on this for this point.

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 2>If it's all been a play to set some stuff

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 2>up in the playoffs, fine, that's great because there are

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 2>some really good inside zone or duo wrinkles that you

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 2>could operate off of that look.

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.559
<v Speaker 1>But if you're not gonna do that, then why.

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>The emphasis on that play so frequently, and especially in

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 2>quick succession like that.

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we'll find out against Kansas.

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 2>City and then two plays later we get the exit

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>motion slot vertical up the numbers of the field, the

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.119
<v Speaker 2>one we've hit a billion times this year for touchdowns,

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.200
<v Speaker 2>and the Bills make an adjustment to get a pick

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 2>and we don't see that and just throw right into it.

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>It feels weakly like the opposition in these.

0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.199
<v Speaker 2>Big games, the lesser dcs and defenses out there, you know,

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 2>the Washington Commanders of the world. I'll put the New

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 2>York Jets in there, the Carolina Panthers, the New York Giants,

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 2>the Denver Broncos back in September. Those teams don't handle

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 2>this stuff well. The stuff that we do well, they

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 2>don't handle. But the best teams find a way to

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 2>make us go to our secondary and third option with

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 2>how we want to play things. And there's just not

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 2>an adjustment to the adjustment.

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Like I expected that to be.

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Like McDaniel's coup de gras in the second half of

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:28.959
<v Speaker 2>the season was here's all the stuff we did well,

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 2>we'll have our bye week, we'll self scout, we'll come

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.960
<v Speaker 2>up with a whole new like wrinkle off of the

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 2>stuff that we'd love to do.

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And it just hasn't really happened yet.

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 2>So it's it feels like kind of banging your head

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 2>into the wall, and we'll see if it happens in

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the game on Saturday, we'll see if it takes the

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 2>off season next year. But that's kind of my biggest key,

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, heading into the off season after the playoff

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.239
<v Speaker 2>run ends, is how can they adjust to the adjustments

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 2>the teams have made back to them. And then also

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 2>like the Jets sweeps the end around the double pass

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.079
<v Speaker 2>looks that stuff has killed so many damn drives this year.

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Feels like more than anything else, penalties like turnovers, those

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>negative plays wipe you out of these promising drives.

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 1>That the eight chan non pass, it loses six.

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 2>The next drive after a third down conversion on third

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and fourteen, a Jet sweep loses four, and of course

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.440
<v Speaker 2>that repeated play on the drive one, the flip double

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 2>flip play to lose several yards just a little bit frustrating.

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 2>But man, I thought the first half had some really

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 2>good looks, some good incorporation of pinpoll and the blocking

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 2>scheme that is a different look than the outside zone

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 2>teams are used to, which I think kind of caught

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 2>the Bills off guard a little bit. We threw that

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 2>deep curl to Tyreek off a fake toss action that

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 2>widened Tarron Johnson the conflict defender in that role. But

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 2>then we just kind of kept going back to the

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 2>well and got away from the running game and made

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 2>critical errors.

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:44.440
<v Speaker 1>In fact, we'll go ahead and.

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Do the individuals now, because you know, watching the tape,

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there's lots of you know, handering about what

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 2>this team is and going forward. And I hate to

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 2>break it to you, guys, but if you want wholesale changes,

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 2>you're just not going to get them. And this team's

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 2>probably it's probably gonna be ran back in a lot

0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 2>of ways, and you're gonna have the money to go

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 2>ahead and retain most guys. I know a lot of

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>you folks don't believe that, but there are definitely ways

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 2>to maneuver, you know, your money around and get guys

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.199
<v Speaker 2>back that you need. And it's I mean, that's part

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 2>of the beauty of the job that Chris Career and

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Shore have done is it really keeps them flexible

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 2>in future years with their financials. And I think the

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 2>idea of bringing guys back can also make you kind

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 2>of be a little bit short in free agency, which

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 2>can allow you then maybe to pick up a comp

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 2>pick or two if you lose a guy or two,

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 2>but ideally, I think you bring most guys back. You

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.439
<v Speaker 2>run it back with the continuity on both sides of

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the football offensively and defensively, and you go into this

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 2>thing in your third year of the offense with plans

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 2>to make, you know, major adjustments, akin to how the

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Niners found their offensive breakout in their third season under

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Shanahan. That's a future conversation, but just something I

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 2>wanted to put on the books here. We're going to

0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>talk a lot this week about long term output and

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 2>then also just kind of some you know, adjustment stuff

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.439
<v Speaker 2>and kind of some fan stuff I want to talk

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 2>about with regards to my journey and where I feel

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm at right now with the way I view this team,

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 2>because it's been tough the last couple of weeks.

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>But that's all down the road.

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and take a break right there, come

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 2>back on the other side, do Tua's notes, the arrest

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 2>of the offensive individuals, and then we'll also do defense

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 2>on the third size, well, snap counts, all of that's

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 2>next here on the Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 2>brought to.

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:21.959
<v Speaker 1>You by Auto Nation all right, Tua, what do you say?

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and talk about Tua's game, and real quick,

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll go back into the previous conversation. Guys, every time

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 2>player has a rough game, or a rough series, or

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 2>a rough throw, you don't have to replace that player.

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, sample sizes need to play out, and we've

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>seen a pretty good sample size of this quarterback in

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 2>this offense being very effective. Now, if you have concerns

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 2>about big moments late in the season against big time teams,

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I understand that. But you're not gonna turn it over

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.559
<v Speaker 2>to a rookie who's gonna give me who's gonna come

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 2>onto the scene and all of a sudden be sharp

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 2>in those areas.

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it just doesn't happen.

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 2>And then unless you get Patrick Mahomes, which if you do,

0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.680
<v Speaker 2>that's great, but you're gonna gamble and trade up your entire.

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Class to hopefully hit a player like that, it's probably

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 1>not gonna happen.

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 2>You have a top eight quarterback, I would say right

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 2>now in your grasp, and the fan base, at least

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 2>from a social perspective, is talking about moving off that like.

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just really really really really driving me crazy.

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 2>If you want to draft a cam Ward on day

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 2>two or day three, that's that's fine on me. But

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 2>chill out, Okay, chill out. And that's with this being said,

0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 2>I thought two had a rough game. I mean, there

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>were some good throws early on the first half of

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>that was really good. But the second half was really bad.

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 2>So let's go ahead and start here on the first interception.

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 2>This is part of the really bad. There's a pretty

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 2>clear difference on the perfect long shots that Tua throws,

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>and we've had more success on.

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 1>That than anybody else.

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to hear about these limitations deep ball,

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 2>all the stuff, YadA YadA whatever, man like. The results

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 2>have been there, but the ones that come up short,

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 2>and we saw the ladder here, the one that came

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 2>up short in this game. When he hitches and throws

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 2>in rhythm, there is not a better deep ball thrower

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 2>on the planet and we've enjoy the hell out of

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 2>that this year. Right, But when there's an extra hitch,

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 2>the ball is usually a little bit behind or you know,

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 2>late to get out there.

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.440
<v Speaker 1>And that's true for most quarterbacks.

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Now, I know he doesn't have the arm to you know,

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>get flat footed and whip that thing on there, all

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 2>wrist action, fifty yards on the field, the way Josh

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Allen can. I acknowledge that there's a limitation there, and

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 2>the club in the bag is not as good as

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 2>it is for other guys.

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>You don't have the three hundred and fifty yard drive.

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>That's that's fine to acknowledge, and that's why I don't

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 2>have my top three quarterbacks for top five quarterbacks.

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>For that matter.

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 2>But you can still win football games and be very

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>successful with his skill set, because we've talked about a

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of times in this podcast, the skill set that

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 2>he does have is more important than the other stuff

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 2>that you get. If you if you don't have the

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 2>stuff that he has, you can't win with the other stuff,

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 2>But you can't win the way he has his skill set. Right.

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 2>So on that deep shot, he didn't get enough juice

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 2>into it because he kind of hitched and threw it

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 2>from a not you know, loaded up platform. And you know,

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 2>we've hit that look all year long. Hit it three

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 2>times in two games against the Jets, hit it versus

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Washington for two touchdowns, hit touchdowns versus the Patriots, versus

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles, like you get it, switched it Johnson. The corner,

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 2>the slot corner we talked about with the Bills all

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.320
<v Speaker 2>the time is head up over Reek, but he fans

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 2>out to the curl flat and the half field safety

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 2>squats to come down to take away like the crossers

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>and the curls and the incuts. And that's two was indicator.

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 2>When he sees that safety squat, we're throwing deep to

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Tyreek because nobody can run with him on the planet.

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Right the go ball is a go.

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.320
<v Speaker 2>But Christian Ben from the perimeter gets vertical right away,

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and I doubt too saw that. So it turns into

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 2>this cover three with a pre snap cover one presentation,

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 2>and it got to him. It fooled him, and that

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 2>little hitch takes You know, that accounts for ten yards

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 2>that Tyreek covered from the time of that hitch.

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>And if you take away those ten yards, I think.

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 2>The ball is a long touchdown throw and catch if

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 2>he catches the ball.

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>But either way it's a bad miss. It's a turnover.

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 2>And it hurts even more because durham smythe was naked

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 2>underneath on a chip release. That could have been a

0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 2>pretty easy conversion there on third long, but they bait

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 2>and switched.

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>It and got exactly what they wanted.

0:16:58.160 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 2>The first half, I thought two was playing well and

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 2>terms of going away from what the Bills were trying

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to get him into, aside from that first pick, where

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 2>he would move guys and did a good job of

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 2>getting through his reads well. Note some of the awesome

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>throws that got this team into the end zone on

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 2>back to back eighty yard drives, starting with a hookup

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 2>throw to Brax and Barios where they this guy's cover

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.680
<v Speaker 2>three with two high and buzzed a pre snap half

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 2>field safety down inside. But he doesn't jump the Braxon

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 2>route because Tua held his eyes on the backside to

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.440
<v Speaker 2>keep that buzzing safety away from the collision on Barrios

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 2>at the catch point, get him leaning one way, throw

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.919
<v Speaker 2>the ball back the other way back to Braxon. Strong

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 2>quarterback play to convert on third down a third and

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 2>fourteen to Tyreek, where he again held the defense to

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.400
<v Speaker 2>other parts of the concept. Then shoots an anticipation ball

0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.920
<v Speaker 2>in between four Bills defenders, high degree of difficulty, hit

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.680
<v Speaker 2>it perfectly. It was run game the rest of the way.

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 2>But then he gets the next drivet going with some

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.200
<v Speaker 2>clever ball handling where he shows the ball like kind

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 2>of to the rail and like separates the hands and

0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>he gets the defender off of his feet, gets over

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 2>commitment to the outside. Then he squares his shoulders and

0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 2>throws a strike inside away from a hit to Durham's Like,

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>that was Alabama tool on that rep. I thought two

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 2>plays later he had, I thought his best play of

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 2>the game.

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Talk about the importance.

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.239
<v Speaker 2>I talked about the importance of that third down and

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 2>three at the two minute warning at the end of

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:12.919
<v Speaker 2>the first half, we get a switch release to the

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 2>field and the Bills don't switch it, so they run

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 2>underneath the rub but he gets into a good trail

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:23.719
<v Speaker 2>position underneath Hedrick Wilson because and look, if this is waddle,

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's a touchdown. But Cedric is a great blocker.

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 2>He makes some tough catches, but he ain't running away

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:34.919
<v Speaker 2>from anybody. The illegal blindside block play on Ingold. That

0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 2>ball was perfect. It hit Cedric in the hands first.

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Now Benford recovered and broke it up. But the cornerback

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.359
<v Speaker 2>is running the route force Hedrick on that play, like,

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.919
<v Speaker 2>he's right there. You could I don't know, man, Like

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 2>top gear should be able to separate a little bit right.

0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Then on the next drive, it's third nine and they

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 2>completely vacate the middle of the field with two high

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.719
<v Speaker 2>safeties way out of the play like outside the numbers,

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty yards down the field and Cedric has the entire

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 2>middle of the field a three way go inside outside

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 2>vertical come like he had the entire football field to

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 2>work with, almost one on one, playing against your brother

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.199
<v Speaker 2>in the backyard, and he just gets dominated up the

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 2>entire route by Dane Jackson, pressed, re routed, undercut the

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:10.159
<v Speaker 2>route before.

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:10.640
<v Speaker 1>He made his move.

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just bad football, and it happened from several guys

0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 2>on the offense all night long. But back to Tua,

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 2>this throw that we did connect to Cedric Wilson on

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the corner route could not have been better. Thirty yards

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.439
<v Speaker 2>beautiful touch falls right in the bread basket on a

0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 2>third and three play, and at this point I'm thinking, yeah,

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Tua came to play today. We're gonna win this game

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.080
<v Speaker 2>because the quarterback's playing great. He finishes the drive with

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.119
<v Speaker 2>great location on a speed out for a touchdown, but

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.200
<v Speaker 2>where only his guy could make a play, and Tyreek

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 2>did finish it. But then halftime, first drive three and

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 2>out despite two completions. The next throw of real consequence

0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.160
<v Speaker 2>didn't come till fifty seconds left in the third quarter,

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 2>a fourteen yard gain of Tyreek Hill. But the very

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:47.879
<v Speaker 2>next play was the one that I think changed the

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 2>entire complexion of the game. After a Tron Armstead false start,

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 2>we get overplay on a fake fly sweep and Tyreek

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 2>gets cover three with a middle of the field safety

0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 2>who is pushed twenty yards off the football and chasing

0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:04.199
<v Speaker 2>a different help zone. On this particular throw, the corner

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:08.160
<v Speaker 2>that's playing on Tyreek in that third coverage, third field deep,

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:12.399
<v Speaker 2>third field coverage, he's way behind the play in the dust,

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 2>but the throw is low and behind. If he catches

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.160
<v Speaker 2>it and stride, there's a chance he goes either way,

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.640
<v Speaker 2>it's still a catch and at least ten more yards

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 2>running after the catch, at minimum. If he scoops it

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 2>off the ground and the call is upheld, it's second

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.600
<v Speaker 2>and one instead of second and fifteen. But the ball

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.879
<v Speaker 2>skips up into Tyreek. It's a huge, huge miss and

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 2>a throw that Tua just He almost never misses those throws,

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:36.880
<v Speaker 2>but the last couple of weeks he's missed.

0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:37.160
<v Speaker 1>A few of them.

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:39.520
<v Speaker 2>But then we make two throws on the penultimate drive,

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 2>both hit Tyreek in the hands and go incomplete. The

0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 2>second one on third nine the balls in his lap

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.479
<v Speaker 2>beyond the sticks. It's a great anticipation throw, kind of

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 2>moves the pocket and reads, reads out the coverage, and

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 2>throws the ball right to where Tyreek is going to

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 2>be in front of the defender. But Hide punches it

0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:56.640
<v Speaker 2>and it comes out like squeeze the football man.

0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 1>But of course it.

0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Was the final drive, the final throw that everybody will

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 2>remember to me. The first I in t and the

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.479
<v Speaker 2>second one in the mists of Tyrek on the endbreaker.

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:05.920
<v Speaker 1>We just talked about before the punt return.

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Those were the three mega negative plays on Tua's card,

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.880
<v Speaker 2>But we also seemed allergic to helping him out. Drops

0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.439
<v Speaker 2>inability to separate, can't make one guy miss in the

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 2>open field. Just a bad night all around. Let's go

0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.159
<v Speaker 2>ahead and do the pick and then get off this topic.

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>But first before that, actually real quick, the first one

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 2>before the first down, before the pick, and this is

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 2>something I think Tua needs to take from and apply

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 2>to get better at in the off season. He's reading

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.880
<v Speaker 2>a two man route combo to the boundary short side

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:34.639
<v Speaker 2>of the field right and he steps up into a

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:36.399
<v Speaker 2>clean pocket. It didn't have to do that. The pucket

0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 2>was good. It held and he shoots it to Tyreek

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.440
<v Speaker 2>on a corner route between the honey hole, the underneath

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:43.520
<v Speaker 2>cloud and the over the top half field safety. But

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Braxton Barrios comes clean underneath on that little the same

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.359
<v Speaker 2>route that Tyd Johnson ran on the drome Baker stick

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 2>short of the goal line with the end of the

0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 2>first half. Like get five yards upfield and slant across

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 2>the middle against off zone coverage and it's easy ten

0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 2>yards for a first down to move the chains get

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:02.359
<v Speaker 2>you inside the scoring range at that point. And I

0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:04.560
<v Speaker 2>bring it up because he's not gotten to that look

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 2>on that play all year. It's weird because sometimes he's

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:10.239
<v Speaker 2>so elite at going front side to backside, but then

0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:13.560
<v Speaker 2>other times and it's usually pressure, he completely avoids it

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 2>and just presses the ball into that spot. And the pressing,

0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, it's happening all the time. It's gotta be

0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:21.760
<v Speaker 2>a thing that you fix in the off season. Like

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:22.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's you know, we did jiu

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 2>jitsu this offseason. I don't know if it's like, you know,

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 2>controlling your breathing and getting you know, doing some Why

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 2>can't I think of meditation, like, but man, we've got

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.600
<v Speaker 2>to calm down these big moments. The ball on the

0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 2>corner route too, was terrible because he actually was open.

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 2>If he throws the ball to the white on the perimeter,

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Tyreek can probably plant defeat and make a catch falling

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 2>out of bounds. But he leaves it too far inside

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 2>and frankly it should have been picked off.

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.240
<v Speaker 1>So that was terrible. And then the pick, I mean.

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 2>It's at some point you just have to learn to

0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:51.920
<v Speaker 2>take off the gas a little bit because the throw

0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:54.640
<v Speaker 2>on the pick just was not there. I do think

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:57.640
<v Speaker 2>that Claypool rounded his route way too much. But even

0:22:57.680 --> 0:23:00.320
<v Speaker 2>then that ball needs to go into the stand. There's

0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:02.880
<v Speaker 2>nothing there, and it's only second down. You have two

0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 2>more downs to work with. That's really it. It would

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:06.919
<v Speaker 2>have been a fine throw with a better route and

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>the safety not driving before the receiver broke on the football,

0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:14.159
<v Speaker 2>which happens because of eyes, right, and that's what happened,

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Like to his eyes took that tailor rap to the football,

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:19.520
<v Speaker 2>But we still had so much time. Like it's the

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 2>same story for a lot of these games all year long.

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 2>A lot of good, a few not so good, one

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 2>two really bad, and seemingly in the biggest spots. On

0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty plus airyard throws, he was two for six for

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:30.879
<v Speaker 2>forty seven yards with two interceptions. A lot of his

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 2>picks have come down the field this year ten plus

0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 2>ariyard throws, five for thirteen, ninety five yards and two picks.

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:38.440
<v Speaker 2>It's just these, these top defenses have found the way

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 2>to take that stuff off the field for us, and

0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 2>we have to find the way to adjust. It's there,

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:43.119
<v Speaker 2>and there's some fundamental things in your offense you can

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:44.920
<v Speaker 2>do to get there, but it just hasn't been there

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 2>so far. He was blitzed only one time. He was

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 2>zero for one. He was pressured on nine drop backs.

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 2>He went four for nine with forty nine yards, and

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 2>both picks came when he was kept clean real quick.

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:58.119
<v Speaker 2>The eligibles, Tyreek, I'm getting tired of this man. One

0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 2>of the best players in the world, a first spell

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 2>of Hall of Famer, But what's the deal with the

0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:05.919
<v Speaker 2>big what's the deal with the big game stuff? Every

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 2>single one of them? Did he drop a touchdown in Buffalo?

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:11.399
<v Speaker 2>I forget am I mis remembering that I know he

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:13.680
<v Speaker 2>did against Philly. He had the game changing fumble against

0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:16.159
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs, dropped the ninety two yard touchdown against the Cowboys.

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 2>That dropped last week, two critical drops in this one.

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 2>That's every week man.

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Julian Hill.

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited to see what his year two evolution looks

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 2>like because he is a fantastic addition in the run game.

0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 2>As a blocker, he has so many key blocks that

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 2>he's a critical part of. But when you can take

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:33.879
<v Speaker 2>a guy like that and make him a threat in

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:37.160
<v Speaker 2>the passing game, that makes the offense exponentially more flexible

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 2>and dangerous. We've seen that with Durham Smyth this year.

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I think Julian Hill can get that treatment again in

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:43.960
<v Speaker 2>his second year. Speaking of the players like that, Ingolden

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Smyth more of the same, so impactful around the edge

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 2>in the running game. Would like to see more of that.

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 2>The Bills want to know part of these dudes in

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:52.120
<v Speaker 2>the first half of the point of attack. Last note

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.920
<v Speaker 2>on the receivers, all the receivers besides Tyreek, the separation

0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 2>or lack thereof, I should say, was jarring in this game.

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Now I know what Chargers fans are can playing about

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, with Justin Herbert and whatnot. But like we

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.280
<v Speaker 2>saw with two of his first couple of years as well,

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 2>the money downs were getting pressed and taking an extra

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, one one and a half seconds just to

0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:11.000
<v Speaker 2>get into the stem. Then we're slow out of the

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:14.399
<v Speaker 2>break because we haven't done anything with suddenness or you know,

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 2>explosiveness to force them to lean or force them to chase.

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Just got bullied by physicality from the snap to the

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:22.199
<v Speaker 2>top of the route. And this is big guys like

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, like Cedrick Wilson's not a small guy, Braxton is.

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:25.479
<v Speaker 1>I get that.

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 2>But at Claypool, by the way, thanks for doing business man,

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Like that route is terrible, terrible, terrible route. I mentioned

0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Cedric earlier, same story with Braxon Barrios. I love him

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:35.440
<v Speaker 2>for what he is, but I love the trust me

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 2>having the run in the return game. But and look,

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 2>those guys get paid too. But you have to make

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 2>a move on Dane Jackson in an open space on

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 2>that third down catch short of the sticks. You have

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:45.320
<v Speaker 2>to find a way to get the ball pass the sticks,

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:47.159
<v Speaker 2>whether it's run the route past the sticks or make

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:50.159
<v Speaker 2>him miss. You have to do it, like make a

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 2>play and also it's fourth and inches, go for it.

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Just go for it, I would have on the offensive line.

0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I hope they played pretty well. Pass Pro was connected

0:25:57.640 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 2>all night long. They got surge in the running game.

0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 2>There were some plays where the Bills got more guys

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 2>into the fit than we would have a designed unblocked

0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 2>man who would come down and make the play, which

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 2>has happened a lot this year. But the Bills just

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:10.159
<v Speaker 2>really disrupted us up front in the game back in October.

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:11.840
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't the case in this one. I thought all the.

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Guys played pretty well across the board. I thought to

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Ron Armstead, if he didn't have all the penalties, would

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 2>have had himself a spot in the top five tapes

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:20.439
<v Speaker 2>because he was moving guys off the spot in the

0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 2>running game really good in pass Pro the flags, heap

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:25.000
<v Speaker 2>them off the top five, but some really punishing one

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:27.359
<v Speaker 2>on one reps from him. Honestly, I don't think anybody

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 2>had a bad night. I thought Rob Jones got done.

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Liam was good. Austin two.

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought the skill group was the group to let

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:33.760
<v Speaker 2>you down in this game, which is the lunchpin for

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 2>how this team is constructed. So that's tough when your

0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.640
<v Speaker 2>top guys have let you down all year long, really

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:41.880
<v Speaker 2>in these big games. So pressures allowed one for Teestead,

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 2>one for Jones, three for Eichenberg, none for Hunt, and

0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 2>one for Austin Jackson. Last break right there. We'll come

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 2>back on the other side. Defensive notes. That's next Draft

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:52.600
<v Speaker 2>the Auto Nation.

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 1>Final segment.

0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Here.

0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and get to the defense and get

0:26:57.840 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the hell out of here. So I thought there was

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:01.000
<v Speaker 1>a great mix in this game.

0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 2>They'd show man switch to trap, they'd show pressure and

0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:06.160
<v Speaker 2>back off. They would bring the blitz on some third downs,

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.040
<v Speaker 2>back off on others. There was some zero, including that

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.160
<v Speaker 2>thirty six yard completions to Von Diggs where I thought

0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:13.639
<v Speaker 2>the football was good all around because Eli Apple was

0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:14.120
<v Speaker 2>right there.

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:15.119
<v Speaker 1>But Alan A.

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Digg just made a great play, great throw in a

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 2>catch and man, what a great job they did against

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:22.440
<v Speaker 2>the run in this game, consistently shutting that thing down.

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 2>The rush lane contain was fantastic. I mean on the

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 2>interception for Wilkins and Sealer to beat Alan to the sideline,

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty damn impressive, man, And real quick, I know

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 2>we don't do special teams here in the podcast be

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:35.520
<v Speaker 2>on surface level stuff, but ma'am cam Good was right

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.440
<v Speaker 2>in the hole on that hardy return where he would

0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 2>have made the stop if he didn't blow out his

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 2>knee at very least make some change directions. But of

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 2>course when your knee gives out, you can't make that play.

0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Like a microcosm of the season, right, injuries lead to

0:27:48.160 --> 0:27:50.440
<v Speaker 2>some tough spots, and this one played out real time.

0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:53.959
<v Speaker 2>The worst part, by the way, about that tipped touchdown

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 2>pass to Sherfield is the Eli Apple had undercut it

0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 2>and might have had it for a pick.

0:27:57.840 --> 0:27:59.760
<v Speaker 1>But that's how the game goes.

0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Man up front, Zack Seeler ten sacks is the most

0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 2>ever by a Dolphins defensive tackle. Thing about how impressive

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:06.200
<v Speaker 2>that is with all the guys you've seen come through

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:07.679
<v Speaker 2>this organization.

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Five pressures, two stops in the game.

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:12.399
<v Speaker 2>Van ginkle Man suck to see him go down the

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 2>play on the second Allen interception, digs A lines in

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:17.359
<v Speaker 2>the backfield and looks like he wants to get a

0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:18.600
<v Speaker 2>choice route on David Long.

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:20.479
<v Speaker 1>A's a little angle route, like a Texas route.

0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Because the Bills ran all four of their other eligibles

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:26.200
<v Speaker 2>outside the numbers, but Gink re routes him and reroutes

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 2>the wrong road. He road closed him. He shut that

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:30.439
<v Speaker 2>thing down, like go back the other way. He just

0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:32.359
<v Speaker 2>dos these little things every single week that are so

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:34.399
<v Speaker 2>impressive in addition to all of his sack production and

0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 2>pressure production. Great year for Andrew van Gink. Hopefully we

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 2>get him back for the Playoffs'll find out more about

0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 2>coach McDaniel here on Mondays. I'm talking to you before

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:43.440
<v Speaker 2>he does his press conference. He had three pressures in

0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 2>the game. Did vankinkle ingram? The way he dents the

0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:47.960
<v Speaker 2>edge as a run defender is so valuable. He can

0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:50.520
<v Speaker 2>really reset the edge and allow the scraping backer or

0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:53.719
<v Speaker 2>sometimes safety like Brandon Jones to fill and make that play.

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 2>But you have to tip your capta both he and

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Ogba because their workloads given the injuries to Gink and

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Good and the bills were marked. I fill those wheel

0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 2>routes and coverage behind it right because like we run

0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 2>these guys wide to these pass rushers, they ran us

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 2>vertical in the in the coverage game, and you know

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:10.960
<v Speaker 2>they couldn't rotate them out like it was. It was

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 2>tough to watch play out that way. But you know

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:15.200
<v Speaker 2>it's there's there's some weaknesses there, but the way he

0:29:15.240 --> 0:29:16.680
<v Speaker 2>dents the edge of the running game I think is

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 2>very impressive. Ogbah Man like he's a good player, but

0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 2>it's not the fit in the system here off ball linebackers.

0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 2>It's such a treat to watch David Long, the way

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:27.280
<v Speaker 2>he pursues with speed. The blitzing has been effective. He

0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:29.520
<v Speaker 2>was in the face on that on Alan on the

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:31.640
<v Speaker 2>apple pick as well as the mist to dig, so

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 2>really good stuff with the pressure standpoint there for David Long,

0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 2>five stops two pressures from him. Jerome Baker had three

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 2>stops and two pressures. I'm so impressed by his toughness.

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:41.880
<v Speaker 2>The big hit was obviously just fantastic down by the

0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:43.960
<v Speaker 2>goal line, but I thought he played so well coming

0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:46.760
<v Speaker 2>in under control, wrapping up and making sure tackles, and

0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 2>that was kind of the theme all night. I liked

0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 2>how their short stuff and hookup routes were constantly met

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 2>by an immediate tackler.

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think it's all a coincidence.

0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 2>How well connected we are back there with Jerome Baker

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:58.840
<v Speaker 2>being back in that communicator role, just something he's done

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 2>for so long now and the secondary. I thought Javaon

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 2>was a much smaller snap count, but I think they

0:30:03.680 --> 0:30:05.800
<v Speaker 2>might have found something here with him going forward because

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 2>he was on tight ends and the slot fitting the

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 2>rundown in the box loot in this game, we've seen

0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 2>him play that single high middlefield safety position, but I

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 2>think this allows him to make more of an impact

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 2>even though he does both well. The thought of Ramsey

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:21.000
<v Speaker 2>X and Holland covering it ain't too bad man twelve

0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:23.760
<v Speaker 2>covered snaps, no targets, and sixteen of his twenty seven

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 2>snaps were in the slot. In this game, I thought

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Jones made that really bad play on the screen

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:29.200
<v Speaker 2>that led to a fifty yard run, but had a

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 2>couple of splash plays behind lane scrimmage, one pressure, three

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 2>stops he allowed fifty two yards on thirty seven covered snaps.

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 2>And then how about Eli Apple, who I thought his

0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 2>best game is a Miami Dolphin, and I thought the

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:42.400
<v Speaker 2>interception was a perfect example of why you continuously put

0:30:42.440 --> 0:30:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Eli Apple in the lineup because he knows what this

0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:48.479
<v Speaker 2>defense calls for and what to do on certain reps

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:50.560
<v Speaker 2>and looks like he knows they have a all out

0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:53.400
<v Speaker 2>blitz called on this third down and while Gabe Davis

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:55.800
<v Speaker 2>is taking way too long to square up and set

0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 2>the round up for the in breaker.

0:30:57.360 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Just takes too long. Apple squats and.

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Keys Josh Allen's eyes and when they get crossed up,

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:05.760
<v Speaker 2>he capitalizes on it. I thought he was pretty good

0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 2>in both man match and zone looks where he was

0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, zone turn, keep your eyes in the quarterback

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:11.880
<v Speaker 2>type of stuff. He was in good position for most

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 2>of the night. Twelve targets out of his forty six

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:16.880
<v Speaker 2>coverage snap. That's where Ramsey's top five tape comes into

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:19.360
<v Speaker 2>play here, because teams just don't try that guy.

0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 1>And PFF numbers were wonky on this one.

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:23.560
<v Speaker 2>There was two catches that they credited to him that

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm removing from that total because they just weren't on

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Heli Apple. But it was fifty six yards allowed. Maybe

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:29.479
<v Speaker 2>it's just stop doing the PFF thing.

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Huh uh cater coo who it's been a rough year

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:33.640
<v Speaker 1>for him.

0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Man. Looking back at the stop before the Apple pick,

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:38.800
<v Speaker 2>he did interfere with Dawson Knox there, and if you

0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:41.840
<v Speaker 2>slow that thing down, man, if he plays the ball

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 2>and not the man, he could have ran through that

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:45.280
<v Speaker 2>thing and picked it off and gone the other way,

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 2>because there was like Alan threw a floater out there

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and it kind of hung up in the air for

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 2>a while.

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 1>He also made a business decision on the.

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen thirteen or third and thirteen scrabble on that

0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 2>final drive their their final first down of that drive,

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:01.200
<v Speaker 2>which is kind of crappy because his whole thing last

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:02.760
<v Speaker 2>year that made us all fall in love with him

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 2>was tenacity and grit, right, But I just don't think

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 2>this defense has really clicked for him this year, Like,

0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and will it, you know, because I mentioned Holland is

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:12.560
<v Speaker 2>a slot defender and was he more of a man

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:13.120
<v Speaker 2>cover guy?

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't know.

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll go back and watch him specifically on tape this

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:17.640
<v Speaker 2>offseason and get a better feel for it. But I

0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 2>thought that he'd be a lot better than he has

0:32:19.640 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 2>been this year. Thirty one covered snaps twenty eight yards,

0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:24.080
<v Speaker 2>but man six hundred and three covered snaps this season

0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:26.880
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred and twenty one yards, allowed, seven touchdowns, no picks,

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:29.800
<v Speaker 2>two PBUs, four penalties, and a one to thirty three

0:32:29.880 --> 0:32:33.480
<v Speaker 2>point four passer rating. When teams target cater COOHU snap

0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:34.920
<v Speaker 2>counts from the game and then we'll get out of

0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 2>here offensive line went the distance fifty two snaps for

0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:40.640
<v Speaker 2>those guys as well as Tua at receiver. I mean,

0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Cedric Wilson played ninety six percent of the snaps. Tyreek

0:32:44.200 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 2>just forty reps in the game at seventy seven percent

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 2>of the workload, and then Barrios is next with forty

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 2>six percent.

0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Like if I told you.

0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:53.040
<v Speaker 2>In a must win situation, or I guess a critical

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:56.040
<v Speaker 2>game wasn't must win by the way, and ghost on

0:32:56.080 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Twitter like, well, my favorite people on Twitter must wins.

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you get the definition of win is if you lose,

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:02.840
<v Speaker 1>you're done. Do we understanding that? Okay?

0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I think we I think we should all understand that

0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 2>in big games like this, If I told you back

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:12.320
<v Speaker 2>in August that Tyreek Hill and Jalien Wada would play

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:15.360
<v Speaker 2>forty snaps combined and Cedric Wilson and Braxon Barrows would

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 2>play seventy four, you'd say, oh, we are in trouble.

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Great Craft played nine, Claypool four chosen two at tight end.

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Smyth got his usual three quarter workloads seventy five percent.

0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Julian Hill got thirty three percent of the workload.

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Devon Han, your leading snap getter at running back, he

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 2>played sixty three percent compared to Jeff Wilson's forty eight percent,

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:36.440
<v Speaker 2>and alec Ingold got one third of the snaps.

0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:37.840
<v Speaker 1>That goes back to the second half.

0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:40.239
<v Speaker 2>In the you know the game situation, right, I mean,

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 2>had so few reps in the second half that Ingold

0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 2>should have had probably doubled that. But you can't get

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:46.520
<v Speaker 2>any first downs, you can't get the running game going

0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:48.880
<v Speaker 2>on defense, Apple played the entire game.

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:49.720
<v Speaker 1>He was the only one.

0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Ramsey missed just two snaps. He played seventy six and uh,

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:56.640
<v Speaker 2>let's see Deshaun Elliott played seventy two reps after it

0:33:56.640 --> 0:33:58.000
<v Speaker 2>looked like he might not play the game because he

0:33:58.080 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 2>left in warm ups earlier.

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 1>That was a weird situation.

0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 2>More defensive backs, Brandon Jones played eighty percent of the reps,

0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Cohu's sixty five percent, Javon Holland played just thirty five percent,

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:11.239
<v Speaker 2>Needam got six snaps in the game, Elijah Campbell three

0:34:11.280 --> 0:34:14.600
<v Speaker 2>and Cam Smith two. The linebacker spot, David Long played

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:20.000
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight percent of the reps, Baker played fifty three percent,

0:34:20.040 --> 0:34:22.640
<v Speaker 2>and Duke played forty seven percent. But by the way,

0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:25.319
<v Speaker 2>I talked about Van Ginkle earlier, he's out for the

0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:27.320
<v Speaker 2>game on Saturday, so is Jerome Baker, who had to

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:30.920
<v Speaker 2>get wrist surgery. So the fun continues for the Miami Dolphins.

0:34:30.960 --> 0:34:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Injuries off the edge see Ingram led the one, I mean,

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:41.359
<v Speaker 2>you're playing a guy that just signed here three weeks

0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:44.239
<v Speaker 2>ago as your primary you know, outside linebacker seventy four

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:47.359
<v Speaker 2>percent of the snaps, Ogba sixty percent, and then it

0:34:47.400 --> 0:34:49.240
<v Speaker 2>was you know all the guys that you're Van Ginkle

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:51.720
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven percent before he got hurt, good fifteen percent

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:53.520
<v Speaker 2>before he gets hurt. And then you're playing you know,

0:34:53.560 --> 0:34:55.959
<v Speaker 2>the guys up front, the Beefy Boys, Christian Wilkins ninety

0:34:56.000 --> 0:35:00.000
<v Speaker 2>one percent, Zach Sealer eighty seven percent, whatd Rayqwan play

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:02.880
<v Speaker 2>forty six percent. DeShawn Han also played fourteen snaps in

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:05.799
<v Speaker 2>the game. So yeah, man, you're you're pretty deep into it.

0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:07.879
<v Speaker 2>I think a focus on the podcast this off season

0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:09.319
<v Speaker 2>is going to be more about the depth of the team,

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 2>because clearly it's very, very important, and the death has

0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:14.400
<v Speaker 2>been good this year, but when you have fifteen injured starters,

0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:15.920
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of tough to overcome all that.

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:20.080
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, man, not fun, not fun.
