This is the Draft Time Podcasts. 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:56.480 Hover Miami Dolphins. 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.720 I want to begin the show tonight this morning whenever 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.760 you hear this podcast with some updates on tua tongue 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.760 Bai loa, and I have four soundbites here from head 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.479 coach Mike McDaniel. We're gonna go ahead and start here 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.559 with coach's first thoughts when he saw the injury happen 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:12.000 for Tua. 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.880 My thought was concerned and I was just worried about 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:17.319 my guys. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.160 So yeah, that's it's. 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:27.240 Yeah, not not something that you ever want, ever want 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.720 to be a part of, you know, you hope not to. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.880 And then the next question was a very common follow 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.480 up for something like this, the question regarding where do 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:40.080 you see Tua's a future trip to the injuryserve his 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.240 future outcome with the injury. Coach was asked about that 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:44.880 and answered accordingly. 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:49.440 It's more about uh, you know, getting in a proper 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.400 procedural evaluation tomorrow and taking it one day at a time. 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.120 That the furthest thing from my mind is, you know 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.280 what what is the timeline? 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.240 You know, I want to know we we just need 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:06.920 to evaluate. 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:11.440 And and you know, I'm just worried about my you know, 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.600 my teammate and like like the rest of the guys are. 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.200 But we'll take We'll get more information tomorrow and then 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:20.639 take it day by day from there. 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.480 And then the natural follow up from there is does 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.520 the injuries that he suffered in twenty twenty two impact 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.000 how you and the team handle this time around one 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.200 more time back to head coach Mike McDaniel. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:37.680 I think it's it's important to to approach each and 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:43.880 every situation to the you know, much like approach every 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:49.840 injury with it, which is basically, all right, we're gonna 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:55.280 handle this particular situation with this particular player. You know, 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:59.800 every every situation is unique to its own. So you know, 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:07.560 I think I think there's you know, for me, I 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:13.160 I'm not worried about anything that's out of my hands 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.000 in terms of I'm just worried about the the human being. 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:22.280 And you know, he'll he'll drive the drive the ship 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.480 when we get the appropriate information. But it's day by 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:30.880 day health is what you know of, you know, really, uh, 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:32.560 try to approach all. 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.480 The stuff that way, particularly with concussions. 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.440 And the final one on the topic of Toua's injury 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.280 was asked about the consideration about where he goes from 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.120 here suffering a handful of concussions in twenty twenty two 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.960 and now this one here tonight one more time for 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.680 coach on concussion talk with twa tongue Bailowe. 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.240 I think we'll we'll find out some more information tomorrow 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:56.000 in terms of, uh, where where. 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.360 Two is at. He'll he'll you know. 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.839 Be able to spend a good amount of time being 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:10.680 evaluated and then we'll have conversations and progress as as appropriate. 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:16.320 But you know, I I'm like the rest of his 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:20.320 teammates who he he he went around the locker room 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:25.120 and connected with, you know, trying to as a as 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.080 a leader, is trying to keep the guys heads up 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:33.279 and and and he'll he'll be in the office tomorrow 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.760 to to be have the appropriate care. 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.159 And that's what's going to dominate the headlines and the 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.320 story of the night. I mean, before that, it wasn't 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.920 the story obviously with the Dolphins coming up short once 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.880 again against the Buffalo Bills as they come down to 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.359 Miami once again and spoil the night for your Miami Dolphins. 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.919 Let's go ahead and pivot now as tough of a 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.200 transition as that is to the game. And we start 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.000 here on the recap podcast every time with the stats 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.400 and you wouldn't know it. The final score does not 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.440 reflect what these numbers tell you. But Miami had seven 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.400 more first downs twenty compared to thirteen. They were seven 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.600 for fifteen on third downs compared to Buffaloes three for nine. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.400 The Dolphins were one for five on fourth down compared 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.200 to my or compared to Buffalo's one for one, which 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.760 was of course a touchdown on their opening drive on 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.520 the fourth down completion of James Cook. Miami had three 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.440 hundred and fifty one yards to Buffaloes two forty seven. 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.839 They out passed them two twelve to one to thirty nine. 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.440 They out rushed them one thirty nine to one oh eight. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.159 They had thirty more plays offensively, but where the game 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.920 was won three turnovers for the Dolphins they were sacked 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.160 twice zero and zero for the Bills in those categories, 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.360 and seven penalties for Miami for fifty yards one for 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.719 five for Buffalo. The Dolphins had the ball for thirty 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.400 six minutes and nineteen seconds. So yeah, the story of 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.520 the game was the turnovers, right. You had multiple drives 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.880 that resulted in either interceptions or turnovers on down short 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.360 fields and Buffalo did not fail to capitalize upon those. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:55.920 Let's go ahead and go back to the beginning though 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.920 here and start with the opening drive of the game, 0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:59.919 A six play drive that goes nine yards two and 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.159 a half minutes, and it looked good. They were getting 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.719 some wash down the offensive line. A quick shot to 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.360 waddle for a completion, another third and one conversion where 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.159 Rob Jones has a nice block and Aaron Brewers seals 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.600 a lane for another alec Ingold first down, and then 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.480 you get the negative plays loss of three to Julian 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.080 Hill or a loss of three in the running game. 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.920 I should say when Julian Hill Rasul Douglass beat his 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.600 block to make a stop, and then a deep shot 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.760 the Tyreek for no gain, and then a third and 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.560 fourteen ball off the shoulder pad of Grant to Boss. 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.080 And if I can explain to you how this offense operates, 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.600 shannonhan Tree or otherwise across the you know, Kyle Shanahan, 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.480 Mike McDaniel, Matt Lafleur, Sean McVay, on and on and in, 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.760 on and on again. The concept behind this passing game 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.400 is you want to hit the receiver the minute they 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.360 come out of that break because the cornerback, the defensive 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.320 back reacts to how the receiver comes out of the stem, 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.400 and they are late to react because the receiver knows 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.919 where he's going, the defensive back has to react. And 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.360 so the idea that from a philosophical standpoint is the 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:01.640 maximum separation occurs when the receivers first out of his break, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.480 you have to catch that football and for it's a 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.640 bounce like that and get deflected and get picked off. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.560 It's just really really bad luck. But that's part of 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.160 you know, that'll be a takeaway talking about playing with 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.000 receivers that just got here in the depth of the 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.800 receiver room being so far that the numbers throwing to 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.960 those guys have not been very good. And it starts 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:19.760 that way here off the top. It gives the Bills 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.560 a short field. The Dolphins defense bows up. I mean, 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.160 they got some good plays there. They got a third 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.800 and two stop with David Long shooting in making a 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.600 big play in the backfield, Zach Seeler shedding a block 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.440 and making that tackle along with David Long to get 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.720 a loss on third and two, and that creates a 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.200 fourth down play where then the Bills get a perfect 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.480 call into the cat blitz. The cornerback comes in off 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.680 the edge, David Long can't get out there to get 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.239 James Cook who has a walk in touchdown, and quickly 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.960 five minutes into the game, it's seven to nothing. But 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.320 then Miami response and you kind of feel like there's 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.360 that medal, there's that you know they're not going to 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.200 go into the tank and let this thing get out 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.120 of control, because they go ten plays, seventy yards six 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:58.920 and a half minutes. They get the ball on the 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.960 perimeter with some of the end of round stuff, the 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.920 jet sweep stuff. Tyreek has a kerry for twelve yards. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.720 Devon eight Chan gets plenty of run as he did 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.720 all game long to have made two awesome throws on 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.080 third down conversions, the one to Jalen Waddle for seventeen 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.480 yards where he stepped up out of pressure, attacked the 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.560 line of scrimmage and threw a good ball over the middle. 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.840 And then we got the touchdown throw on the escort 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.720 swing to eight Chan with alec Ingold making the key 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.200 block and on that play to a one Wattle originally 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.480 and scan the entire field and made a really good 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.960 decision put the ball right on target for a nice 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.839 touchdown there for the Dolphins. So they got crankin, got 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.640 that ten play drive to tie the game at seven apiece, 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.320 and then they get a three and out three play 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.200 drive nine yards with another short yard stop there from 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.520 David Long sifting and wrapping on a James Cook run. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.199 And then Kalays or rather that was the second down play, 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.920 and then Kalaias Campbell was the one that on an 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.520 errant snap that got free. He kind of gets some 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.320 depth and falls into the hook zone and gets his 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.880 big paw on a football and swats it back into 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.240 the face of Josh Allen and the Dolphins take over 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.040 and they're again moving it around. They get another play 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.840 to Tyreek Hill for twelve yards. It goes for a 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.920 first down. They throw this they get a first down 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:08.760 at the end of the first quarter, I should say, 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.680 and they throw this ball to Robbie Chosen where the 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.400 ball is over his head and it looks like he 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.480 runs a route that two wasn't expecting. I think maybe 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.760 that ball got away from two a little bit as well, 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.920 so kind of some you know, air on either side 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.800 of that thing. But again, you're throwing to receivers that 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:26.800 have just gotten here, you know, in the last couple 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.679 of weeks, and some miscommunications and understanding of when the 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.760 ball is going to be on you that I think 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.600 can be expected. So the Dolphins three possessions in two 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.840 picks for QB one, it was the first time in 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.400 his career he had two first quarter picks. The Bills 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.319 pay it off with the field goal. So the defense 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.960 bows up for the Dolphins on seven plays nineteen yards 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.120 and yeah, I mean they forced Allan off of his spot. 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:48.679 He kind of short hopped one of those throws to 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.240 the sideline with a good job mixing the pressure, looks 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.360 the linebackers coming and putting more pressure on Josh Allen. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:55.680 So they take a ten to seven lead at that 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.400 point early in the second quarter, and the Dolphins go 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.240 back to a three and out and it's that the 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:05.000 third down play man. They had double slants off stack 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.960 with Tyreek and Waddle and to a shot one to 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.920 Reek off the first part of the slant and then 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.760 Wattle came underneath and it looked like he was going 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.360 to be open, but the ball never got there because 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.560 it went to Tyreek hill. And that was after they 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.840 almost overcame a second and seventeen, which will be one 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.439 of the takeaways we talk about here is the Dolphins 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.760 when they don't hit the big plays, these longer drives. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.000 They had one early in the game. These long drives 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.679 are tough to come by because you can get these penalties, 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:33.800 a drop pass, a negative run that puts you behind 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.560 the sticks. The case. For whatever case, that seems to 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.280 be what happens for the Dolphins on some of these 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.280 long drives. And that's what happened on a second and 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.560 a second down in Jalen Wright run for a first 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.040 down where he looks sharp, but to Ron Armstead gets 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.320 flagged for holding. You get behind the chains. Then the 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.240 fourth down play can't go complete, or the third down 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.880 conplay I should say, goes incomplete, and the Bills pay 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.160 that off with a touchdown of their own, an eight 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.480 play drive that gets down the field pretty quickly, third 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.520 and twelve from the thirty four yard line. The Dolphins 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.120 had a had him in a good spot at that 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.560 point of the drive, but Josh Allen creates and you 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.400 saw Jalen Phillips was the rusher off the right side 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.000 on that play and he lost his footing, which gave 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.600 Allen the ability to break that contain, which you know 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.960 you can't let that happen. But it rained all day 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.000 here in South Florida. Feel was a little bit wet. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.200 Guys were slipping a little bit throughout the night, and 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.040 he got to the perimeter and made a good throw 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.440 around Jalen Ramsey, who kind of got lost once the 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.760 play was you know in the second phase of the 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.640 play with regards to you know, him going off script 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.920 and creating that way. So they get that play down 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:32.480 to the one yard line on third and twelve for 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.360 thirty four yards. Then a walk in touchdown for James 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.200 Cook off the b gap off the left side for 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.440 a seventeen to seven lead, and the Ofphins get it 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.319 back and they start driving down the field once again, 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.880 a big lane for eight Chan for seventeen yards. Thought 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.520 Austin Jackson got plenty of washdown. The whole offensive line 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.960 created lanes all throughout the first half. They ran for 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.960 one hundred yards in that first half. You got leam 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.480 Meikenberg climbing up to the second level Julian Hill with 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.319 a key block, and then they got more runs from 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.320 a Chan to get him to a third and one. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.280 And finally, after I think four successful conversion to the 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.439 first two games, Ingle gets stuffed and then Rob Jones 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.040 gets beat by Ed Oliver for a sec on fourth 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.280 and two, goes right back to the Bills and it's 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.400 a one play drive. The forty nine yard run for 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.080 James Cook where we're in a light box. They had 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.280 a double team a catch and climb, and they caught 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.560 the stack linebacker who was David Long in that same position. 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.719 Kendall Fuller came in and I thought took a bad 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.840 angle to the football and that got behind him and 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.439 from there it was show him your tel lights for 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.840 James Cook. A forty nine yard drive on one play, 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.480 twenty four to seven. Tough spot to come back from there, 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.560 but Miami's offense takes it back and drives thirteen plays 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.400 fifty four yards and three and a half minutes for 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.320 a field goal. Just kind of taking the short stuff there, 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.640 taking what's underneath, going to John new Smith and going 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.040 to to ahead to scramble on the drive for twelve 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.720 yards on third and eleven, just kind of trying to 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.719 milk the clock and not let Josh Allen get the 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.520 ball back, but also find points. But ultimately in the 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.240 first half, Tyreek and Waddle had five catches for thirty 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.880 six yards on seven targets and finished the game Tyreek 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:01.640 had Let's see, Tyreek was targeted six times with three 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.400 catches for twenty four yards, Wattle four for four for 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.360 forty one yards. So if you get seven catches for 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.080 sixty five yards from Reek and wattle probably not going 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:10.480 to be the results you want at the end of 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.559 the night. That's what happened here, so rough start to 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.160 the game, it would get worse. Let's go ahead and 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.200 take our last break right there. Come back on the 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:18.839 next side and do the second half of the game. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.240 We'll get the five takeaways. Short episode tonight, not to 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.800 love to harp on here. That's next track Time podcast, 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.319 your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.360 So the Bills take a twenty four to ten lead 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.920 into the break, They get the football back to start 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.360 the second half, and the defense bows up again. They 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.880 get a five play seventeen yard drive a third and 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.960 seven where Chop Robinson, who I think continues to show 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.000 some good stuff in these first two games, ran a 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.480 little stunt there with Zach Seeler and Sealer splits the 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.640 blocks and as the pickman gets in there and creates 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.520 the air and throw, but chops speed on the quarterback. 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.839 The closing speed on that looping role I thought was 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:54.760 pretty impressive and shows you some of the mixed bag 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.320 that he can offer as an edge rusher and player 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.880 in the middle of the defensive line to put an impact. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.160 These opposing quarterbacks. But then that's when things really got 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.240 out of hand. The Dolphins get the football back, they 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.000 get a little swing route to a chan for twelve 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.760 yards and a first down. We get a corner slips 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.480 over there and create some space for him. Then a 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.000 couple of plays go backwards. They're third and behind the 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.040 chains again, and then Tua makes a decision that I 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.240 just haven't seen him make in his career before with 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.480 trying to throw the ball away, doesn't get it out there, 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:22.920 it gets picked off and goes back the other way. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:24.880 Even if that ball gets completed, what are you looking 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.600 at there? A couple of yards and you're still punting 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.520 the ball like you gotta take the sack there and 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.680 just move on to fight another day. But that's kind 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:32.600 of what happens in these Bills games. Right that they 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.080 get up, they start putting more pressure. The passing game 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.680 becomes all you can do because you're behind on the scoreboard, 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:40.760 and then they find a way to turn you over 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.120 and it turns into an avalanche of negative plays. That's 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.440 kind of what happened here. Yeah, Pick six just can't 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:48.960 do that and then turn over on downs in the 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.360 next drive. And that was when Tua Tongua Bai Looa 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.000 had a third down scramble to move the chains or 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.080 fourth down scramble rather, and he gets knocked to the ground. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.600 His helmet collies at the mar Amblin's arm and he 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.040 doesn't look right and they end up pulling up from 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.240 the game and it's a concussion. And we finished out 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.280 with Scalar Thompson and I stopped noting the game at 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.400 that point because thirty one to ten quarterback goes down. 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:13.720 It was kind of just playing out the string at 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.240 that point. I thought the Dolphins played hard and did 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.640 a good job competing in those circumstances, considering everything that 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.280 had happened there, So WorldWind of a week man, lots 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:26.240 of emotions on Sunday, the absolute last result you wanted 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.160 in the game here on Thursday against a team that 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.600 it felt like this was the best chance to kind 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.920 of go get that Buffalo team, right. I mean, they 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.480 were down Matt Mulano from back in training camp. They 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.200 didn't have Taron Johnson who was hurt in the opener. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.440 They lost Torel Bernard early on in the game. They 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.240 were down some key parts. Not to mention, you know, 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.400 not having Hide Employer and Trey White and all these 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.480 critical guys that have been a big part of that defense. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.440 Even with backups and different guys, they still found a 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.840 way to make the Dolphins offense slow down and get 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.760 off rhythm and off timing. And for two games now 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:57.760 it's looked that way for the Dolphins offense, even with 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.280 QB one in the game. I mean, they had seven 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.440 points at halftime once again, right or no ten points 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.040 at halftime after a seven point first half last week. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.640 That is just not the team we're used to. They 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.320 scored thirty points in two games. That's our per game 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.200 average last year, so half of that so far just 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.400 hasn't looked sharp through the first two games, and losing 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.880 the quarterback makes it a lot tough for going forward, 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.040 depending on his timeline there. So let's go ahead and 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.000 get into the five takeaways here. Like I said, it's 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.200 going to be a brief one. But before we do that, 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:30.080 McDaniel spoke at length about the concept of narratives and 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.200 what's going to be written. And obviously Miami doesn't have 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.000 one of those teams you know coming up on the 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.360 schedule until Buffalo again. Really, I mean the Seahawks the Titans, 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.280 the Patriots, the Colts, the Cardinals. All of those teams 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.560 were not playoff teams a year ago. So you don't 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.840 have a chance to really, you know, change that until 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.160 you face Buffalo once again. But of course you need 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.200 to win games in the meantime. But I thought it 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.760 was important to hear from coach right here about that 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.760 and how no one outside of this building is going 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.040 to think the Dolphins have a chance to win in 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:00.000 those types of situations. 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:04.280 There there was a lot of high expectations and ambitions 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.000 for the game, fully knowing that it was gonna be 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.159 a tough one. But I think I think every person 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:15.720 on the team would tell you the when playing a 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:21.400 good football team, if you're if you're minus three or four, 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:25.800 whatever it was, and then with the fourth downs on 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:30.159 top of that, like no one first saw that, So 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:34.800 I don't think you can win. You might be able 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.600 to win one out of a hundred with with those 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.600 the nuts and bolts of that, and and I think 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:45.320 that's the main thing that the football team is feeling 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:52.879 is supreme disappointment because it's uh they've they've put a 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:58.320 lot into it, they have high expectations and you can't 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:04.240 even you can't even evaluate appropriately when when you're uh, 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.159 when you're playing football that way and giving it to 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:12.960 the opponent and you know, so giving them actual possessions, 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:14.240 especially a quarterback like that. 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:19.040 So, you know, I think it's you know, football is 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.200 a tough, tough business. 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.680 There's you know, like I told the told the team 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:29.359 like this hurts for a reason, and then you just 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:33.400 you have to find out if if you need uh, 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.679 you know, I think I think we have enough veteran 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:41.880 players in that locker room that understand that the belief 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:47.080 will come from within because you quite frankly, you can 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:50.960 already turn the page note that know what's going to 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.240 be said about us, and and that's probably. 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:57.320 Gonna last for last for a while. We'll have plenty 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:02.359 of opportunities to you know, uh uh. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:11.440 Really take take the take the uh just sheer, frustration 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:16.560 and anger out on are are the way we approach 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:21.679 our jobs day and day out. It's also you know, 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:27.440 very much weak two and and that was our first 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:33.120 division game, and it feels way bigger than that, because 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:37.240
