The Dolphins have the twenty 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.880 seventh ranked offense, twenty seventh ranked rushing offense, and twenty 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.440 second ranked passing offense. They've allowed the fifteen few ast 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.040 sacks in the NFL, and their third down offense is 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.880 best in the NFL. On defense, eighteen point eight points 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.080 per game allowed, that second best in the NFL, just 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.040 point six points off the Steelers pace for the top 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.760 spot in the National Football League, my Amy's defense is 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:05.120 ranked eighteen and total defense twenty two and rushing defense eighteen. 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.919 In passing defense and the Dolphins third down defense is 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.000 best in the National Football League thirty three point one percent. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.400 They have the are tied for the eleventh most sex 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.960 in the league, and their twenty five takeaways is tied 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.079 for first with the Pittsburgh Steelers. So those are your 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.400 team rankings. As far as some individual stats and snap council, 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.400 let's go ahead and start as we do with the 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.160 special teams first and talk about the fact that Dolphins 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.119 still for the seventh straight week, remain a top Football 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.839 Outsiders d v o A special teams ranking their nine 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.600 point one percent d v o A, which is defensive 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.960 adjusted value over average. I know it's a mouthful. They 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.840 are number one in the NFL in that category. Why. 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.840 Receiver Jakeem Grant is the NFL's top punt returner. He 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.760 has three d and twenty three yards as a punt returner, 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.560 and Jason Sanders thirty field goals are second most in 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.320 the NFL. His eight field goals from fifty yards or 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.680 beyond are tied for the most in the NFL, and 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.720 his nine point seven percent success ray on field goals 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.359 this year is third among kickers who have at least 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.840 twenty attempts on the season. Punter Matt Hawk registered just 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.880 his second touchback of the season on Sunday. He's tied 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.960 for the fifth fewest minimum ten punts among all NFL punters. 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.040 His twenty two punts down inside the twenty yard line 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.880 are tied for six in the National Football League. We 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.359 talked about penalties on yesterday's top news story and Brian 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.320 Flores once again has this team near the top of 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.239 the fewest penalties assessed against them and fewest penalty yard 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.560 is assessed against them in that category, they've been penalized 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.520 sixty times for four hundred and ninety nine yards this year. 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.520 The sixty penalties is third fewest and the four hundred 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.400 ninety nine yards is the second fewest in the National 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.240 Football League. As far as some of the advanced stats 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.400 on offense, first we start with the snap counts and two. 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.680 A Tongue of Valoa played eighty three snaps. That was 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:56.360 good for one. He joined Solomon Kinley, Ted Carriss, Jesse Davis, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.720 Robert Hunt as players that played every snap on offense 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.800 and as a whole, the Dolphins offense with those rookies 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:07.120 uh Hunt, Kinley, and Tongue Vloa along with Austin Jackson 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.680 who played seventy five snaps in the game and rookies 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.280 Malcolm Perry and Lynn Boden Bowden played fifty nine. Perry 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.240 played thirty three. The Dolphins had forty five point six 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.719 percent of their offensive snaps in this game come from rookies, 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.240 so a little bit of perspective there on the offensive 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.640 production with first year players. Running back Patrick Laird led 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.320 the way among backs with forty two snaps. That was 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.720 one of the workload. DeAndre Washington was the only other 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.279 running back to play in this game, thirty nine reps 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.640 for him, good for forty seven percent, so a pretty 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.679 even platoon there. We talked about Boden's fifty nine snaps, 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.960 Mac Collins gets forty in the game, Malcolm Perry plays 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.640 thirty three, Jachem Grant thirty one, Davante Parker seven, and 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.239 Antonio Calais rounds out the wide receivers with twenty two snaps. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.560 At tight end, Mike Siki played forty three, Adam Shaheen 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.559 played thirty seven, and Derham Smith played thirty six. Plenty 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.279 of players counted on in this game to play snaps, 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.240 and then Austin and Jackson. We talked about the four 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.520 offensive lineman who went wire to wire. He played seventy 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.240 five reps. Julian Davenport played eleven in the absence of 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.960 Jackson as well as some heavy packages down around the 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.040 goal line, and Christian Wilkins had three snaps on offense 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.280 as a full back slash eligible receiver into the game 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.520 in those heavy packages. As for some of the offenses. 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.520 Advanced Metrics and Stats Tongue Byla hit a career high 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.919 for the second straight week with three hundred and sixteen 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.560 passing yards his first three hundred yard game as a 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.799 pro per NFL next Gen stats, he averaged six point 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.760 five air yards per completion that was the ninth most 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.760 in the league this week. He did that with the 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.880 twelfth quickest snap or snapped to throw time at two 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.000 point five six seconds. He completed three throws of twenty 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.479 plus air yards for seventy four total yards, a touchdown 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.120 and a pick on those throws, and when he was blitzed, 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.839 he completed eight of fifteen passes for eighty yards, a touchdown, 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.480 and the one interception he's thrown this year in six starts. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.599 Running Back Patrick Laird had the season high in terms 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.839 of average yards after contact five point oh as he 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.120 rushed for nineteen yards on four carries and two first downs. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.240 DeAndre Washington picked up twenty seven of his thirty five 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:14.240 rushing yards in this game after initial contact. We talked 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.120 about Lynn Bowden getting his highest workload. It resulted in 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.680 a career high eighty two yards. He averaged nine point 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.200 one yards per target, and six of those seven catches 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.280 that he made produced first downs. Mac Hollins also has 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.040 a career high with sixty six receiving yards He did 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.960 that on nine targets, good for a nice solid seven 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.800 point three yards per target and thirteen point two yards 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.080 per catch for mac Hollins. Tight end Mike Gasicki caught 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.000 five of his six targets for sixty five yards. That's 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.920 a very impressive ten point eight yards per target. Also 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.480 had two touchdowns for a second time in his career. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.560 All of his catches produced either points, a touchdown or 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.440 a first down. He's now fourth among tight ends with 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.360 six hundred and two receiving yards and six among tight 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:59.360 ends with six touchdown catches this season. On the offensive line, 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.640 Ted Carres and Robert Hunt had the lowest pressure per 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.799 snap right They both allowed two pressures each on sixty 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.280 five pass blocking snaps. Apiece and tackle Julian Davenport did 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.960 not allow a pressure and his seven pass blocking snaps 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.600 filling in for the injured rookie and Austin Jackson on 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.880 the defensive sid would take a look at the snap 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.920 counts over here. Christian Wilkins, who played three snaps on offense, 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.480 also led all interior defensive lineman with forty three snaps 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.040 in the game at six of the workload. But ray 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.440 Kuan Davis is right behind him forty one snaps, and 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.960 Zack Seeler gives you twenty five snaps in this game. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.080 Defense event Shack Lawson had fifty eight snaps that was 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:40.000 of the workload. Emmanuel Ogba played forty nine, Jason Strowbridge 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.040 had one, and then a linebacker. Coach Flores talked about 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.600 this on Monday, a little bit being down Roberts and 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.560 van Noy, and more specifically van Noy, who does so 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.160 much from an off ball and rushing linebacker off the edge, 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.400 does a little bit of everything. He talked about Jerome 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.600 Baker having to do more rushing in this game. He 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.360 produced US two and a half sacks, playing sixty one 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:02.360 of the team's sixty two defensive snaps in this game, 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.119 Commu gruge Hill played thirty seven snaps. That was Andrew 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.720 van Gekl had thirty one, and Sammguavin got onto the 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.000 field for six snaps. In this game. Quarnerbacks Byron Jones 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.720 Xaviing Howard never left the field. They played all sixty 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.200 two snaps, as did safety Eric Rowe. Cornerback Nick Needon 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.080 played forty six snaps in the game. Safety Brandon Jones 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.240 played thirty four That was two snaps more than Bobby McCain, 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.320 who had to exit the game a couple of times 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.720 with injuries, and safety Cavon Fraser played twenty four snaps 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.760 and Clayton Federlum gave you seven snaps in the game. Now, 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.600 as far as these defensive advanced metrics, there are some 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.440 good ones. Howard had an interception for the fifth straight game, 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.680 giving him nine on the season. That's the most in 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.560 the NFL. He's now one interception away from tying the 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:49.200 franchise record set back in nineteen sixty seven by Dick Westmoreland, 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.120 who had ten picks that year. No NFL player has 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.760 intercepted nine passes in a season since Chicago's Tim Jennings 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.680 did it in and the last time a player recorded 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.800 double digit interceptions in one season was San Diegos Antonio 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:07.040 Carmardi back in two thousand seven. When targeting Howard this year, 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.480 opposing quarterbacks have a passer rating of fifty three point four, 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.160 that second best among cornerbacks who have seen at least 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.240 thirty pass targets in their direction. And we talk all 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.560 the time about coverage, mirroring or marrying up with the 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.319 pass rush and defensive play up front. Well, it started 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.720 with these defensive tackles who all had very good games 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.640 in this one. Rookie ray Kwon Davis has thirty five 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.040 tackles this year. That's most among rookie defensive lineman. Three 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.760 of his five total tackles were within two yards of 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.000 the line of scrimmage. Are One of our favorite stats 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.720 are on the podcast a run stop and since Week nine, 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.920 Davis has fourteen run stops, that's fifth most in the NFL. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.720 You know who has the most over that period, Zack Seeler. 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.440 He has sixteen run stops in that period and he 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.000 is third at his position on the entire season with 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.640 twenty seven run stops this year. He added three run 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.280 stops and a quarterback pressure in the game on Sunday, 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.280 and Christian Wilkins is right up there to He had 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.640 three run stops and a pressure on Mahomes three times 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.080 in that category, including a half a sack along with 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.040 Jerome Baker on that final sack of the game from Miami. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.680 Wilkins now has twenty five run stops on the season. 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.680 That's tied for seventh most among all NFL defensive tackles. 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.880 Jerome Baker had two and a half sacks on the game. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.600 The thirty yards sack was the biggest loss this year 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.600 on a sack, and the Dolphins are the only team 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.600 in NFL history with two sacks of twenty eight yards 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.240 lost or more. His two point five stacks on Patrick 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.160 Mahomes was the most ever against that quarterback. He had 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.080 eight tackles, four of those were good for run stops, 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.080 and he was second on Miami with three quarterback pressures. 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.680 Shack Lawson had four pressures. He led the way in 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.240 that category also made two run stops. Defensive end Emmanuel 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.319 Ogba added three pressures to his season total, which is 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.480 now up to fifty six, tied for third most among 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.800 edge defenders with Los Angeles Joey Bosa. What a season 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.000 Emmanuel Ogbas having. If you go back and look at 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.120 the tape. We'll talk about this later. He actually was 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.640 a big part of that Jerome Baker thirty yards sack. 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.280 He forced h Patrick Mahomes to kind of wheel deal 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.400 into that pressure of Jerome Baker. Andrew Van Geigel had 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.400 two run stops and also tipped the past that led 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.080 to the pick by cornerback Byron Jones, who of course 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.920 did have his first interception as a Dolphin, also forced 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.079 to fumble, and he was targeted just one time in 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.400 the game for one reception and nine yards. Safety Eric 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.800 Row had his second interception of the season and his 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.320 third as a member of the Miami Dolphins. For the 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.720 rest of the article, inside the numbers up on Miami 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.800 Dolphins dot com, go check out the website. We do 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.040 this every single week here on the Tuesday Podcast and 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.120 Monday up on Miami Dolphins dot com. So go ahead 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.960 and spin this thing forward. Now to the All two review. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.440 Getting a chance to watch this on the game pass, 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.719 after watching the broadcast version, watching Tony Romo compliment this 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.680 Dolphins team, and of course after being there in person 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.960 on Sunday. But the All two review, we start with 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.880 the offensive side of the football, and earlier we talked 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.319 about the snap counts, and you might have noticed all 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.320 the snaps played by the tight ends, each of them 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.800 checking in with at least thirty five snaps in this game. 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.800 And certainly part of that is losing Parker and granted injuries, 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.920 but there were some thirteen personnel looks before that. They 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.160 opened the game with back to back snaps out of 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.040 thirteen personnel, so wasn't just by the injury design, by 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.800 game plan design going into it. They used those tight ends. 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.559 Second drive of the game, they work off the success 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.120 of the fly sweep last week to Jachim Grant coming 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.800 across the formation, taking that handoff, ripping off a pair 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.720 of twenty plus yr runs. On this one, they sneak 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.559 the tight end out into the area vacated by Jachem's 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.320 motion and he's wide open at the line with room 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.199 to run for sixteen yards. Tongue baloa to Shaheen like 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.200 that play sequencing, building off of previous plays and using 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.319 wrinkles on the new plays. The ensuing play was the 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.160 lynbowed and touched or pass rather and the Chiefs were 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:41.840 just on top of it. Nothing else really to talk 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.960 about it, but besides the fact that they covered it well, 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.760 and then the third down conversion to Jachim just before 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.839 the Ghaziki touchdown to finish up our general offensive scheme 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.840 notes here it was a nice little simple short motion 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.199 where Parker goes out and gets into a trips bunch 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.400 look and then Grant just runs off a natural rub 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.520 off that and it creates an opportunity for him to 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.719 get wide open on the past play, So some cool 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.760 stuff there from chan Gailey and the offensive system. Lets 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.360 go ahead and talk about to his game and his 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.080 day starts off for me with that first third down 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.840 throw and incomplete pass over the middle to Jachim. The 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.400 pass pro is terrific. The Chiefs get a hit onto 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.559 Ah after some time in the pocket on a t 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.840 e stunt, a tackle end stunt that clears a run 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.320 down the b gap onto a from a free rusher, 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.320 but everything else is picked up and the throw is 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.600 really something. Miami motions Parker once again into a trip 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.920 set into a tight formation or tight into the formation, 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.680 and the Chiefs bracket Parker on his over out coming 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.720 across the formation and in behind him, Jachim is on 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.720 a dig route a you know, ten twelve, fifteen yards downfield, 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.640 squared off inside and you see two his hands separate 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.319 with Jachim still on the stem before he comes out 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.040 of the break and a defender in the exact location 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.640 where the football winds up going, so he's working off 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.360 that leverage, chasing the defender towards Parker. The window opens 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.440 up after the ball has left to his hand and 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.240 it meets Jachim off that incut just gotta fit to 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.679 play there. But these anticipation throws are my favorite thing, 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.120 and all the football to watch Dolphins are otherwise. And 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.320 he's really been doing it on a weekly basis more 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.200 and more. And you also see him building off an 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.400 area of his game that personally I've loved since his 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.400 days at college, and I covered Dan Orlovsky talking about 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.520 this to the third and three incomplete pass to Lyn 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.680 Bowen right before Jason Sanders missfield goal. In this game, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.720 you can see two carry out the r P O 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.840 and in one motion, he goes from facing the outside 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.040 target and Mike get sicky on a flat route to 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.240 simultaneously getting his feet and eyes back inside to Bowden 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.240 while he's been getting that throwing motion. And he does 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.280 something similar on the very next third down play, the 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.240 one that Orlovsky tweeted himself showing the goods as he 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.680 put it. On third and eleven from the plus forty five. 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.280 Your three routes to the field are a take off, 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.920 a straight line go route towards the end zone from 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.640 the furthest split receiver, the corner route from the two 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.240 receiver the next receiver inside, and a flat from the 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.040 three The furthest slot inside. The safeties go back and 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.000 it looks like they take a deep half each with 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.440 the underneath corners kind of squatting the It's the look 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.360 of cover two. I don't know the call, that's what 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.000 it looks like to me. And what Orlowsky points out 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.080 is the same thing we saw in the Bowden play 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.240 two in one motion, looks and locates his body to 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.840 the flat route while starting his motion to go over 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:14.680 the top of that to the corner route, and the 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.400 ball is out while once again Gasicki is still on 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.560 the stem hasn't come out of the break. And I 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.360 have to believe this is the stuff that Romo was 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.480 impressed with early on when he mentioned it. The underneath 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.720 corner takes a step forward and that was all he 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.600 needed to know that he had a pocket to throw 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.120 out football too. And he later does it again on 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.200 the first play of the second quarter, where his body's 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.800 pointed one way, the ball goes a different direction. And 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.680 on that same drive, they run a slant off of 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.440 an r P O with jet motion and the defensive 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.280 end is left unblocked and you see him the defensive 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.920 ent chase inside for the potential handoff. Then to a 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:49.200 fakes the throw to the flat and the defensive end 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.760 runs back in that direction, and then to just snaps 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.800 the ball right and behind the area that he just 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.400 displays the defensive end from. So you've gotta love when 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.520 you can leave a player unblocked like that and get 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.520 the quarterback to influence him with those fine details to 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.200 his game. The first touchdown past to Mike Gasicki was 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.400 a great job of just using his eyes and staying 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.080 with the play. Gasicki flashes late, comes off that block 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:10.960 and the ball finds in between the eight and the 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.040 eight on the jersey into a tight window. Nice throw there. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.440 On the second half of the game, he gets a 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.400 free rusher right in his face and gets out in 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.160 space to extend and create some space for the receiver. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.760 As mac Hollins kind of breaks off the initial route. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.320 You have to create more time for the receivers to 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.040 do that when the pressure closes in No One's open downfield. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:30.920 And then later in the game, a free runner comes 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.400 right up the B gap and to a just as 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.280 quickly as he catches the shotgun snap, he has that 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.280 thing out of his hand to Smith on a slant. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.560 The ball handling a quick trigger. We're on point at times. Now, 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.840 both he and Flora's reference some mistakes in the game. 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.200 He talked about getting it out quicker and giving what 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.600 the defense are taking with the defense gives him rather 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:50.640 like a second down. An eight sack in the second 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.240 quarter looks like Shaheen flashes in the flat. I have 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.600 no idea again, what the play caller progression is, but 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.040 maybe he's talking about stuff like that. Or on the 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.840 safety where Mike Gasicki runs into over route and again 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.320 I'm not sure what the callege, but it looks like 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.280 he came open on that one, so you'd have to 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.560 ask too about the progression there. But maybe those are 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.399 some of the mistakes that he and Flow talked about 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.240 in this game. And I'll just go ahead and finish 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.399 with a note about the accuracy. I really like the 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.320 confidence he has to try to fit those balls in 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.080 the tight windows. They say that sometimes covered guys are 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.080 actually open in this league because of how good defensive 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:21.400 backs are, and he's really putting the ball in position 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.480 where his guys have a chance to win. I was 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.120 really really impressed with this game from our rookie quarterback. 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.960 Now we referenced the play of Mike Asiki on several 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.479 of those plays, and I just felt for Mike on Sunday. 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.360 You could tell he was hurting after that injury had 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.440 to exit the game with. But what a game he had. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.600 He's had. He's just added so many weapons to his 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.320 route repertoire. He's got a nice shake, he can get 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.720 through reroutes. He's become so deadly at catching contested balls 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.040 as we've seen, you know, the touchdown to go high 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.199 point the football and then to double catch it on 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.560 the kind of redirect. He did an awesome job on 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:52.359 that play before the catch to kind of stack the 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.600 defensive back and then slow up a little bit so 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.680 the dB has to kind of work around him and 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.600 gets kind of caught in no man's land trying to 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:00.640 work through a body on the way of the football. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.520 Plus the dudes got hand you can count on in 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.280 those tight spots like we mentioned, and really that's that's 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.280 gonna be the best way to develop that trust between 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.600 quarterback and receiver. And I think we've seen that a 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.959 lot with Mike the last few weeks, catching passes in 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.919 those tight windows. Get well soon, Mike, Hopefully, hopefully your 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.399 back sooner than later, Lynn Bowden, I just like this 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.480 guy's game, man and my John Gruden voice. I like 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:21.720 his game. He does a nice job of pushing leverage 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.960 and then breaking his route when the defensive back commits 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.520 based on that leverage. It's similar to him making sudden 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:29.760 change of direction bursts with the ball in his hands 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.400 as a runner, which he certainly is capable of as well, 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.560 and he can kind of slow play the release to 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.320 close ground on the dB, then explode off the top 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.520 of the stem and create separation that way. Be curious 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.200 to watch some more of his game as we close 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.320 out the season here down the stretch. Jachim just put 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:46.919 a note in here about the speed as such a 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.480 nice element to have in there, and the sense of 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.119 the jet suite because he carried another one for twelve yards. 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.800 I talked about the influence that has for play sequencing earlier. 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.119 It just does so much to hold those defenders for 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.960 a beat at a time. Robert Hunt on the offensive line, 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.760 he played really nice game. He's improving in past protection. 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:05.520 It seems every week he's got a really devastating first 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.920 punch that he throws and then has the active feat 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.480 to reposition and get himself back into good shape for 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:12.480 that kind of second wave of the rep. There's a 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.840
