Speaker 1: Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. Now, let me check
Speaker 1: your pulse if you're not at pulses popping over here, baby,
Speaker 1: I'm fired up for this game. What is up? Dolphins?
Speaker 1: And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, part of the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield,
Speaker 1: And on today's show, it's time to take a look
Speaker 1: at the Kansas City Chiefs. You guys know the gravity
Speaker 1: of this one. You know where it is, and you
Speaker 1: know what we do. Chiefs, intro, storylines, matchups, keys, what's
Speaker 1: at stake. Let's go ahead and preview Dolphins and Chiefs
Speaker 1: from the Baptist Hell Studios. That's a lie. Apparently Caroline's
Speaker 1: doing construction upstairs at the house right now from my
Speaker 1: house somewhere in South Florida. This is the Draft Time Podcast,
Speaker 1: Maggie daff You know, I literally hadn't thought to look
Speaker 1: at this until today Tuesday, putting together the script for
Speaker 1: y'all when I started prepping for the Chiefs. So it's
Speaker 1: a three point thirty local time kick and Frankfurt. There's
Speaker 1: a big chance of rain though it's supposed to be
Speaker 1: a light rain bordering on a drizzle. It's supposed to
Speaker 1: be fifty one degrees at the day and forty four
Speaker 1: into the evening with ten mile an hour wins essentially
Speaker 1: a carbon copy of the weather you had in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: with a little bit of moisture added to the equation.
Speaker 1: But I've been watching too practice in wind and rain
Speaker 1: for the last several years doesn't affect in the way
Speaker 1: you would think it does, so I don't really worry
Speaker 1: about that anymore real quick, and I thought this was
Speaker 1: worth looking into as well. One of the big topics
Speaker 1: I've seen around these International games is the travel, how
Speaker 1: you prep for it all of that. So teams that
Speaker 1: have traveled early, and the Dolphins went over on Monday
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs go over on Thursday are two and zero.
Speaker 1: Both the Jags and Falcons traveled the same day, and
Speaker 1: so Jacksonville won that game. So no real data point
Speaker 1: on that. But I also found this interesting, and this
Speaker 1: is very much a point spread type of research point
Speaker 1: that I would have looked into years ago when I
Speaker 1: used to do that stuff for a I guess part
Speaker 1: time job. We talked about this last Friday with OJ
Speaker 1: and seth And you know, for personal preparations, when you
Speaker 1: do have an international trip like this looming with a
Speaker 1: game to be played prior to that, like you travel
Speaker 1: on Monday, you better have all your travel prep sorted
Speaker 1: out for the game before you play on Sunday. Right,
Speaker 1: So with that, teams who played on the road before
Speaker 1: traveling to Europe all time are five to nine and one.
Speaker 1: The five teams that won were multiple games in the
Speaker 1: win callumn better than their opposition who played at home
Speaker 1: the week prior. The Dolphins were of course at home
Speaker 1: Sunday for the win over the Patriots. And I'm not
Speaker 1: sure you need much of an intro into the Chiefs
Speaker 1: who were on the road in Denver for a loss
Speaker 1: before this trip, because you know who they are, where
Speaker 1: they've been. Let's go ahead and just do a cliffs
Speaker 1: notes version of this portion. The Chiefs intro. Mahomes drafted
Speaker 1: number ten overall, traded up, gave away the future you know,
Speaker 1: draft picks in twenty seventeen, and only started the season
Speaker 1: finale that year, also in Denver, when the Chiefs were
Speaker 1: locked into a playoff position. That team, under the guidance
Speaker 1: of Alec Smith, won ten games and lost in the
Speaker 1: wild card round with that crazy Marcus Mariota play against
Speaker 1: the Titans, and that was the last time you could
Speaker 1: say that about them about bowing out in the first
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs. They've won twelve, twelve, fourteen, twelve,
Speaker 1: and fourteen games under Mahomes and their six and two
Speaker 1: right now. They've gone ten to three in the playoffs
Speaker 1: playoffs during that time. There isn't a franchise that wouldn't
Speaker 1: take a ten to three mark thirteen games into their
Speaker 1: regular season, and they've done that against the league's best
Speaker 1: team in the postseason. Their losses coming to the Brady
Speaker 1: led Bucks in the Super Bowl, the Borough led Bengals
Speaker 1: when they were red hot to close out twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one in the AFC Championship Game, and the Brady led
Speaker 1: Patriots in overtime of that legendary AFC Championship Game back
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Mahomes is the constant he and Travis Kelsey,
Speaker 1: their twenty thirteen second round draft pick, who is one
Speaker 1: of the greatest unicorns in the history of the National
Speaker 1: Football League in terms of being among the league leading
Speaker 1: receivers every year. Despite the fact that he's not a
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He's a tight end and it just doesn't
Speaker 1: happen that way. But it does for Kelsey now and
Speaker 1: we'll cover this in the matchups portion. Replacing Tyreek has
Speaker 1: proven to be a bit of a challenge for them.
Speaker 1: They've used more wide receivers with significant snaps than any
Speaker 1: other team in the last in the NFL this year.
Speaker 1: Last year they won the Super Bowl, so it's ridiculous
Speaker 1: to question that process. But the last few weeks the
Speaker 1: offense just hasn't looked like its usual explosive self as
Speaker 1: they're working through two handfuls of recent acquisitions Marquez Valdez, Scantling,
Speaker 1: Sky Moore, Kadarius Tony, Justin Watson, Rashi Rice, even the
Speaker 1: guy who has familiarity in Mikole Hardman, he left and
Speaker 1: came back. The entire group of receivers has been acquired
Speaker 1: in the last two years, so I think you're seeing
Speaker 1: the lack of continuity and familiarity kind of impact this offense.
Speaker 1: More on that in a moment. The offensive line, though,
Speaker 1: is where the stability exists. Taylor was brought in to
Speaker 1: replace Brown, Juwan Taylor and Orlando Brown this year, and
Speaker 1: Donovan Smith is in for Andrew Wiley, who also exited
Speaker 1: in free agency. But they know they can survive pass
Speaker 1: rush losses off the edge with the creativity of Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: They just want to keep that interior pocket clean and
Speaker 1: nobody does it better than Tony Humphrey and Smith. That
Speaker 1: front three is the league best, in my opinion, better
Speaker 1: than better than Philadelphia defensively, and this is where it
Speaker 1: gets really interesting, like crazy right. They have a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback, hall of Fame coach, Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: tight end, and the d is where it gets interesting.
Speaker 1: In my best Al Michael's voice, go figure. But they
Speaker 1: never had a good defense, you know, good quotes during
Speaker 1: all that success we just talked about. They never ranked
Speaker 1: better than sixteenth and defensive EPA during that ten to
Speaker 1: three playoff record we talked about, and average of thirteen
Speaker 1: wins per year. But now the defense has been more
Speaker 1: efficient than the offense. It starts with Chris Jones, a
Speaker 1: total beast. They supplemented him on the front with two lengthy,
Speaker 1: strong edges in George car Loftis twenty twenty two first
Speaker 1: round pick and Charles Amene, who probably their best free
Speaker 1: agent acquisition this spring, who they signed this spring. They
Speaker 1: also drafted another edge in the first round this year
Speaker 1: and Felix on A duque Uzama who doesn't play a
Speaker 1: whole lot but inside. With Jones, another original draft pick
Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen, and Derek Nandi, they're really good
Speaker 1: upfront now. Nick Bolton was another draft hit they had
Speaker 1: on defense in recent years twenty twenty one. He's also
Speaker 1: the green dot in the middle of the defense, but
Speaker 1: he's out. They also brought in Drew Trankwell, who was
Speaker 1: the Chargers' best linebacker, So they took from their division
Speaker 1: rival and got better at that spot this spring. And
Speaker 1: you know, they're in a good spot there with depth
Speaker 1: in that position. But they're banged up right there right
Speaker 1: now because Willie Gay is going to be doubt for
Speaker 1: this game. It sounds like two but more on that
Speaker 1: in a moment. They also hit another draft pick with
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie in twenty twenty two. They found former Washington
Speaker 1: State star Jalen Watson as a UDFA last year as well.
Speaker 1: They signed Justin Reid last year. They developed twenty twenty
Speaker 1: fourth round pick Lagerius Snead into a stud, so they
Speaker 1: are an example of retaining a few core parts from
Speaker 1: teams of old and then hitting on key draft picks
Speaker 1: and free agents to cobble together an impressive result. I
Speaker 1: think you look at this Chiefs team and you kind
Speaker 1: of project what the Dolphins might look like in two
Speaker 1: or three years, because I think Miami's going to be
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl contender for the next couple of years
Speaker 1: with this core they have. But it's going to be
Speaker 1: so imperative for them to draft well after kind of
Speaker 1: passing on the draft the last couple of years down
Speaker 1: the road to supplement all those big contracts with key
Speaker 1: contributors on rookie contracts. That's a podcast for three years away,
Speaker 1: but just thought it was worth mentioning because these teams
Speaker 1: they mirror each other in several ways. Andy Reid, you know,
Speaker 1: talking about mirroring an offensive genius. He's still at the
Speaker 1: controls nomre Eric b Enemy, Matt Naggi back is OC.
Speaker 1: Steve Spagnolo's in his fifth year as DC, cooking up
Speaker 1: all those blitzer and pressure packages. So they've really built
Speaker 1: this team to his vision on that side, and the
Speaker 1: continuity I think shows. While offensively, the lack of such
Speaker 1: continuity I think has caused some down weeks for the
Speaker 1: attack on offense. They've looked disjointed at times, but I
Speaker 1: also will never doubt their ability to get it right,
Speaker 1: to get it humming like it usually is. And for
Speaker 1: all transparency, Miami has been kind of a get right
Speaker 1: defense for teams in the past. I do not expect
Speaker 1: that to be the case this time around. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that more in just a moment. Some key storylines
Speaker 1: for this game. Patrick Mahomes has never lost back to
Speaker 1: back games. That's the tweet, right, would be a historic
Speaker 1: waiting for the Dolphins in that sense, and I have
Speaker 1: to imagine that leads most shows on Monday. Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: lost back to that game the Broncos I was a
Speaker 1: floup in Miami. They look like the real deal. That's
Speaker 1: my colin Cowver. Next one is this is more of
Speaker 1: a what's it state category potentially, but I think the
Speaker 1: one seeds up at stake for this game. Remember the
Speaker 1: before times before Coach McDaniel, we lose a game to
Speaker 1: some unassuming two to five team and then in December
Speaker 1: you look back, why the heck did we missed the
Speaker 1: playoffs by one game? Well, I have a really strong
Speaker 1: feeling we're going to look back at this game in
Speaker 1: the same way, but not for a playoff spot. To me,
Speaker 1: that's already clinch perfectly. But the one seed will be
Speaker 1: touchdown favorites plus against Las Vegas, which, by the way, wow,
Speaker 1: what a tirefire. Against Washington who just traded away their
Speaker 1: two best pass users on the xter year, against Zach
Speaker 1: Wilson twice, come on now, and the Titans who will
Speaker 1: Levis looks good but Rickie quarterback against Vic Fangio with
Speaker 1: tape to watch. What I'm trying to say is I
Speaker 1: think Miami's going to win the next several games, regardless
Speaker 1: of what happens on Sunday. So if you get this
Speaker 1: one to me, let's save it for the end of
Speaker 1: the podcast, because I have a point on that I
Speaker 1: want to make next storyline, the top two favorites for
Speaker 1: the MVP race face off to us chance to make
Speaker 1: a statement against the best quarterback in the world, arguably
Speaker 1: the best player in football, and put Miami in prime
Speaker 1: position heading into their bye week. And it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: at all, but Miami has a chance in our next
Speaker 1: story line here to shed the quote unquote cannot beat
Speaker 1: good teams label again. I think it's dumb, but win
Speaker 1: this game and you won't hear about it anymore. And
Speaker 1: they will have multiple chances down the road. They'll play Baltimore,
Speaker 1: they'll play Buffalo at home, they'll play Dallas, they'll play
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They have a lot of chances to
Speaker 1: win game against a good team this year, but this
Speaker 1: one's a big one for them. And then, speaking of
Speaker 1: that is the Miami defense for real. And again I
Speaker 1: have you know, or I should say, I hate these
Speaker 1: definitive takes from sixty minutes of football in early November.
Speaker 1: But we've seen Miami's defense, very bad offenses and struggle
Speaker 1: against the good ones and the elite quarterbacks. Right, well,
Speaker 1: this isn't a bad offense and this is the elite
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. Can they put the screws to
Speaker 1: a top offense if they do? Can you imagine the
Speaker 1: talking points about it after we have the offense that
Speaker 1: we have. It should help you that Ramsey's back with
Speaker 1: the game under his belt. I have to imagine X
Speaker 1: and Holland arago. In fact, they said as much on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Phillips played eighty five percent of the snaps last week,
Speaker 1: so it looks like he's full go. Nick Needham got
Speaker 1: his first reps back. Brandon Jones got his first full
Speaker 1: slate of snaps, although he didn't travel with the team
Speaker 1: in Germany, so he probably relegates back to that backup role.
Speaker 1: But with Holland back not as needed, we haven't been
Speaker 1: this healthy on defense all seasons. That's the key elements
Speaker 1: here for this big test is Miami has their entire roster,
Speaker 1: does it click? Does it work under Vic Fangio Tyreek reunion?
Speaker 1: Not much to say about that. It's not in Kansas City,
Speaker 1: but you know he wants this one and then the
Speaker 1: last one piggybacks off. That last point is that I
Speaker 1: think it's fascinating how these offenses are constructed with opposite approaches.
Speaker 1: This isn't apples to apples because Mahomes is on that
Speaker 1: second contract, in Tua is on his rookie deal. But
Speaker 1: you've seen these two teams attack the structure of the
Speaker 1: offensive side of the football entirely different. After Case lost
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl following the twenty twenty season, the pandemic
Speaker 1: year where they were decimated on the offensive line, they
Speaker 1: then inked Joe Tooney to the biggest guard contract of
Speaker 1: all time. They later went on to sign Orlando Brown Junior,
Speaker 1: and since him they have moved on and signed Juwan
Speaker 1: Taylor to a similarly massive deal. They did hit home
Speaker 1: runs in the draft on Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith
Speaker 1: as well. Miami, on the other hand, they have invested
Speaker 1: in the offensive line. I mean big contracts Fatista and
Speaker 1: Connor Williams. Austin Jackson's the first round pick, Rob Hunts
Speaker 1: a high second round pick. Lee was a high second
Speaker 1: round pick. Isaiah Win was once a first rounder. Not
Speaker 1: a big investment for Miami, a one year free agent deal.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of investment on the offensive line.
Speaker 1: But we also know about McDaniel's famed seven hundred play clip.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go show the entire organization why this quarterback
Speaker 1: is special. Let's surround him with weapons to maximize that
Speaker 1: processing and accuracy superpower of his, but also his ability
Speaker 1: to help get the football out and protect the offensive
Speaker 1: line for a handful of snaps every single week and
Speaker 1: mitigate potential pressure problems as a result. I just think
Speaker 1: it's a fascinating dichotomy in terms of team building. It's
Speaker 1: not all done the same, and these two teams are
Speaker 1: a good example of that, because a lot of this
Speaker 1: game is like looking in the mirror, but a lot
Speaker 1: of it is not. At the same time, Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and dive right into Dolphins offense versus Chiefs defense,
Speaker 1: and we start at the quarterback position. To a tongue,
Speaker 1: Baiowa is gonna go up against a trio of safeties
Speaker 1: who plays significant snaps for the Chiefs defense. Justin Reid
Speaker 1: plays almost every rep. Brian Cook plays eighty four percent,
Speaker 1: in Mike Edwards plays about half the snap, So there's
Speaker 1: lots of big nickel package. They play lots of dime
Speaker 1: as well. We'll get to that here in a second.
Speaker 1: At receiver Hill Waddle Craycraft, it looks like we could
Speaker 1: have him back Cedric Wilson against Lugerious Sneed, who does
Speaker 1: not leave the field. And then you have some interesting
Speaker 1: cornerback dichotomy here, or disparity, I should say, because you
Speaker 1: know Barrios and Smyth on the inside from my slot
Speaker 1: and tight end positions. Trent McDuffie is your other ninety
Speaker 1: nine percent snaptaker or corner, but he plays almost exclusively inside,
Speaker 1: especially with all their sub packages they run now Jalen
Speaker 1: Watson from WSU, who had a good rookie year but
Speaker 1: not so much this year. Pays me to say it,
Speaker 1: but it's the truth, plays thirty four percent of the snaps.
Speaker 1: Josh Williams plays thirty three percent of the snaps, and
Speaker 1: Chamari Connor plays nine percent. So if you're catching my
Speaker 1: drift here, they have two good cornerbacks, really really good cornerbacks.
Speaker 1: But beyond that, in terms of the Dolphin's interior offensive line,
Speaker 1: with whether it's Cotton or Jones at left guard, I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see Connor Williams back, and I'd be
Speaker 1: shot if Robert Hunt does not play through the hamstring
Speaker 1: injury that he suffered last week. You get Chris Jones,
Speaker 1: who's played sixty percent of the snap, so that is
Speaker 1: actually a lot higher because he missed the first first game,
Speaker 1: just the first game, right that that takes in, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, eight one eighth of the entire snap, so
Speaker 1: that's probably closer to like seventy five percent. Derek Nandi
Speaker 1: plays half the snap, so then tray Shawn Warton plays
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent of the snaps. The thing you'll see
Speaker 1: about this defense, and you'll really appreciate where Miami's opportunity
Speaker 1: is here at the linebacker position is there's not a
Speaker 1: lot of depth. It's really good up top, not a
Speaker 1: lot of depth. If they lose guys and throughout the
Speaker 1: course of the game, that could be a potential big
Speaker 1: issue as well. So off the edge, Lamb, potentially Toron Armstead,
Speaker 1: back Austin Jackson we know is good to go. George
Speaker 1: carl loftis seventy seven percent of the snap same as
Speaker 1: Michael Dana. Those guys have been really good this year.
Speaker 1: Carl loftis on a different level. And then I think
Speaker 1: you see more Charles Amene who who made his season debut.
Speaker 1: Was it last week or two weeks ago? I forget,
Speaker 1: but he's impactful as hell, and he's long and strong
Speaker 1: and really can lock out the edge. He's played just
Speaker 1: thirteen percent. And then that rookie first round pick fa
Speaker 1: and d k Uzama twenty four percent. Running Backs Mooster
Speaker 1: achmed Jeff Wilson up against a linebacker group that is
Speaker 1: not going to have Nick Bolton. He's on ir They're
Speaker 1: probably not going to have Willy Gay. He's played sixty
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps and that leads him with Drew
Speaker 1: Tranquill at sixty six percent, Leo Chanell at forty one percent,
Speaker 1: and Jack Cochran, who's barely played it all this year.
Speaker 1: He played a lot in the game on Sunday and
Speaker 1: the Broncos ran the ball out him and threw the
Speaker 1: ball at him. It's kind of your sombrero on this defense.
Speaker 1: But mcduffe never leaves the field, kicks inside to Nickel,
Speaker 1: Nick Bolton's the green dot field general. He's out. They
Speaker 1: have to get a new signal communicator. I believe this
Speaker 1: is probably Drew trankwill in this position, a mena who
Speaker 1: I think starts off the edge coming back from his suspension.
Speaker 1: No Willie Gay, Jack Cochran replacing him, and then Justin
Speaker 1: Reid also exited the game on Sunday with an injury,
Speaker 1: but came back and returned to that one. So flying
Speaker 1: over on Thursday. Who knows how those injuries react to
Speaker 1: that after some you know, practices in Kansas City for them,
Speaker 1: it's all interesting to me. Part of the equation for
Speaker 1: how that works out for travel, Their personnel usage is unique.
Speaker 1: They're in their base twenty nine percent of the time,
Speaker 1: which is one of the higher percentages in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. The four to three they run, they run
Speaker 1: their nickel on one of the lowest percentages of forty
Speaker 1: five percent, and their dime one of the highest at
Speaker 1: twenty four percent. They love to get into subpackage. They
Speaker 1: love to blitz dbs and kind of confuse you, and
Speaker 1: every shell looks the exact same. Then they rotate and
Speaker 1: shift and they run a variety of coverages, like they're
Speaker 1: heavily in Man free, they're heavily in Cover three, they're
Speaker 1: heavily in Cover six, and those are kind of all
Speaker 1: translucent types of coverages that blend off each other, and
Speaker 1: so they get to the same pre snap look and
Speaker 1: adjust to those accordingly post snap. That's why two was
Speaker 1: processing one of the best in the league. To me,
Speaker 1: has a chance to exploit this defense in a way
Speaker 1: that nobody else really has this year because they haven't
Speaker 1: seen a quarterback this good. They played the Chargers a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, they scored seventeen points. That quarterback is
Speaker 1: not a good processor, so there's an issue there. They've
Speaker 1: played the Broncos twice and even though they won the game,
Speaker 1: that Broncos offense didn't do a whole lot on this
Speaker 1: case defense. They played the Lions back in Week one
Speaker 1: and they were kind of getting their feet weight a
Speaker 1: little bit. The Vikings had a pretty good plan to
Speaker 1: score twenty points on them. But nothing is going to
Speaker 1: test this and that was without Justin Jephson. Two. I
Speaker 1: think nothing will test this Chiefs defense and the way
Speaker 1: they operate. Like Miami's offense, Let's go ahead and take
Speaker 1: a quick break right here and come back and pick
Speaker 1: it up on the Dolphins offense first, the Chiefs defense,
Speaker 1: and we'll take our second break after the other side
Speaker 1: of the football. All that coming your way next year.
Speaker 1: On the Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought
Speaker 1: to you by Auto Nation, we left off on the
Speaker 1: other side talking about this Chiefs defense. Let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and kick this segment off by looking at some of
Speaker 1: their leaders by the stats, the pressure leaders I mentioned
Speaker 1: George Karloff is thirty nine pressures this year. He's top
Speaker 1: ten among edge rushers, and then Chris Jones also top
Speaker 1: ten among interior with thirty actually his top five and
Speaker 1: he missed a game. Then a drop off to Mike
Speaker 1: Dan twenty two, but then a bigger drop off to
Speaker 1: Drew trankwill eleven so they have three guys up front
Speaker 1: that can consistently put pressure in the quarterback. So I
Speaker 1: like Miami's chances to new those guys because it's really
Speaker 1: the four man rushes that have four guys that could
Speaker 1: win one on ones that give this Dolphins group, this
Speaker 1: Dolphins front issues. I just don't think that's the case
Speaker 1: here for the Chiefs, they're stops leaders. Tranquill has twenty three,
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie has eighteen. That's cater coohu esque. In terms
Speaker 1: of a cornerback tackling, Dana has eighteen, Chanelle has fifteen,
Speaker 1: and Willie Gay who's out, has thirteen. So what I
Speaker 1: think is interesting about this list is that Nick Bolton
Speaker 1: is not in there. To me. It shows you how
Speaker 1: rare his role is, and I think a big piece
Speaker 1: of why the Broncos were able to have some success
Speaker 1: on Sunday against this very good Chiefs defense. Bolton's workload
Speaker 1: goes one hundred and twenty coverage snaps, just thirteen pass
Speaker 1: rush snaps, but seventy nine rundowns. Now, of course, teams
Speaker 1: are usually behind them, but no other linebacker on the
Speaker 1: roster has more coverage snaps than rundown snaps because most
Speaker 1: of them rush the quarterback. So I think you can
Speaker 1: get away with all this blitzing and fire zones that
Speaker 1: the Chiefs run because of Nick Bolton, He's a massive
Speaker 1: loss in that regard. Drew Trankuill steps into that role.
Speaker 1: I think that he's you know, not the same player,
Speaker 1: but he's a good player and we saw his role
Speaker 1: increase in coverage last week. But then that opens up
Speaker 1: the role that he previously a field right And further,
Speaker 1: no Willie Gay means you have two roles that are
Speaker 1: critical to your defense and what you do. They're not
Speaker 1: going to be out there. Like to me, this is
Speaker 1: a kin to Miami not having ex and Holland last week.
Speaker 1: Now they played the Patriots offense, which you know I
Speaker 1: could stop, but I think it's going to be a
Speaker 1: challenge for KC. This is where I would attack them
Speaker 1: their interior with all of our spacing, and we caused
Speaker 1: issues against defenses with you know, both the fifteen to
Speaker 1: eighteen yard windows in the passing game paired with a
Speaker 1: strong running game, and that wouldn't be I would be
Speaker 1: surprised if you don't get nearly exclusive twenty one and
Speaker 1: twelve personnel groupings to keep them in that base package,
Speaker 1: keep them out of that nickel and that dime. They
Speaker 1: love to run to get all those good dbs in
Speaker 1: the field. But then again, you know my former kup
Speaker 1: Jalen Watson has been hit for some big plays this
Speaker 1: year in five touchdowns, so maybe you do want him
Speaker 1: out there. But when Gay went down with Houlton already missing,
Speaker 1: the Broncos average five yards per carry the rest of
Speaker 1: the way after being held to under three the rest
Speaker 1: of the game. It's a big impact. They had a
Speaker 1: lot of success running the football down the middle, So
Speaker 1: I wonder how much the run game could be a
Speaker 1: big key for Miami this week. They're gonna blitz the
Speaker 1: hell out of you. Thirty six percent is the eighth
Speaker 1: highest rate in the NFL, and I think that could
Speaker 1: include some run blitzes as well as they try to
Speaker 1: get extra hats inside to mitigate that missing middle portion
Speaker 1: of their defense. But then Miami has the most dangerous
Speaker 1: play action game in football. Guys, I am so confident
Speaker 1: this week. I think we are getting healthy at the
Speaker 1: right time. I think the Chiefs are banged up in
Speaker 1: a critical area. I think our run and pass game
Speaker 1: marry up really well, and the narrative about good teams
Speaker 1: good defenses goes by the boards this week because the
Speaker 1: Chiefs have really shut most teams down. But this week
Speaker 1: I think this is where we excel. That's where they're
Speaker 1: currently soft because of the injuries. Man, getting that run
Speaker 1: game going, using some of the motion crack wham action
Speaker 1: on the interior to help neutralize Chris Jones could be
Speaker 1: a big key. And then when they commit those extra
Speaker 1: blitzers inside, assuming you get one of the most athletic
Speaker 1: centers and football back in Connor Williams, I think you
Speaker 1: could really work against some of the leverage they create
Speaker 1: inherently with some one gap penetration and just kind of
Speaker 1: let them go upfield and run into Durham Smyth or
Speaker 1: Julian Hill coming across and split flow action. That's a
Speaker 1: big key. Marry the run and the pass to exploit
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and get your vertical stretch
Speaker 1: game going. So how about the key cover guys. Snead
Speaker 1: McDuffie reed, they almost never leave the field, and then
Speaker 1: the next is Brian Cook. That's your next sombrero and
Speaker 1: another look into the middle of the field. Vulnerabilities they
Speaker 1: have here in Kansas City. I know this was the
Speaker 1: case against Philly, but you had Liam and for Connor,
Speaker 1: which is one of the greatest disparities on any roster
Speaker 1: in the league in terms of drop off, and then
Speaker 1: Lester Cotton coming into the game for the injured Isaiah Win.
Speaker 1: It's a different story for an offensive line when he
Speaker 1: starts versus when he comes in off the bench, saying
Speaker 1: if it's Rob Jones, but back to Cook, he's hung
Speaker 1: eighteen point six yards per catch down the middle. I
Speaker 1: think Wondal is gonna get one on one chances in
Speaker 1: the middle of the field against these, for lack of
Speaker 1: a better term, guys that can't cover him. I think
Speaker 1: has another big game over there in Germany. We've seen
Speaker 1: Waddle really exploit the middle of the field against zone
Speaker 1: and be kind of a quick release option for Tua.
Speaker 1: I could see, you know, Jalen getting minimal attention. If
Speaker 1: they combine one a lot of attention to Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: and two they blitzed Tua, you can't defend it all,
Speaker 1: so you have to pick your poison. Even still, Tua
Speaker 1: has been so good at finding his hot they're going
Speaker 1: to muddy up the picture, you know, keep it looking
Speaker 1: the same, try to change post snap. But that's why
Speaker 1: I'm just so confident in too, his ability to manipulate
Speaker 1: process and just kind of get the ball to Braxton
Speaker 1: to Durham to Cedric to whoever it might be, and
Speaker 1: just find the hot option there. Speaking of blitzes, it's
Speaker 1: a big game for Raheem Most man in pass pro
Speaker 1: as the release valve in the passing game and then
Speaker 1: also the running game. Obviously we need primetime Raheem Most
Speaker 1: to show up and give us the balance on offense
Speaker 1: to keep it humming. And again it's going to be
Speaker 1: new young linebackers going up against this KGI veteran, go
Speaker 1: get them Raheem. Such a fun matchup. Can Miami neutralize
Speaker 1: the edge the way they have in most games sans
Speaker 1: Buffalo and Philly and get kar loftis of the game.
Speaker 1: Can they prevent Chris Jones from wrecking the game. If
Speaker 1: they can get those two things done, I think they
Speaker 1: can score some points and give themselves a real shot
Speaker 1: to get over thirty points and win this game by
Speaker 1: a comfortable margin. Speaking of that, let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: just pick it right up here with the Dolphins defense
Speaker 1: versus the Chiefs offense. You guys know about Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: up against our safeties. This is where it gets awfully confusing,
Speaker 1: So stay with me. They have like nine guys who
Speaker 1: play consistently among the four eligible positions not named running backs.
Speaker 1: Marquez Valdez scantly plays sixty two percent of the snaps,
Speaker 1: and he has not been good for them. Sky Moore
Speaker 1: plays fifty nine percent. Shaking my head hasn't been good either.
Speaker 1: Justin Watson's played thirty seven percent and he's kind of Mahomes'
Speaker 1: go to guy. You'll hear more about that tomorrow with
Speaker 1: bj Kissel of Casey Sports Network. Me Coole Hardman just
Speaker 1: got there, but six percent. Probably see more of me,
Speaker 1: Cole this week. I'd imagine in the game plan and
Speaker 1: then at tight end, Kelsey plays sixty two percent, not
Speaker 1: like an overwhelming amount of snaps. Noahgree the tight end
Speaker 1: two plays sixty percent, so lots of twelve personnel. Blake
Speaker 1: Bell the third tight end, plays twenty five percent, and
Speaker 1: then Rashid Rice plays forty three percent, Kadarius Tonia plays
Speaker 1: twenty five percent, and this group leads the NFL and
Speaker 1: drops so If that's the case on Sunday, they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to make sure they don't drop the football because
Speaker 1: I don't think they can afford to do that against
Speaker 1: this Dolphins team. And then in terms of the offensive
Speaker 1: lot we talked about are Donovan Smith, Jowan Taylor, the tackles,
Speaker 1: Joe Toney, Creed Humphrey, Tray Smith, the guards. And then
Speaker 1: at running back, Isaiah Pacheco plays fifty four percent, Jerk
Speaker 1: McKinnon thirty one percent, and Clyde Edwards z laire I
Speaker 1: thought he was going to be a great player, just
Speaker 1: fifteen percent out of the backfield there has not worked
Speaker 1: out from LSU. They don't really use an explosive slot receiver.
Speaker 1: They move guys all over the formation. In fact, ten
Speaker 1: players have twenty five percent or greater slot usage and
Speaker 1: nobody is over sixty percent. So it's a lot to
Speaker 1: look at for the Dolphins defense. And in terms of
Speaker 1: their personnel groupings, eleven percent personnel sixty two percent of
Speaker 1: the time, twelve personnels twenty seven that's a very high figure,
Speaker 1: and thirteen personnel three time as ten percent, that's also
Speaker 1: a very high figure. Lots of Noah Gray and Blake
Speaker 1: Bell like, okay, cool, not really that scared about that.
Speaker 1: This is you know, there is one surefire way to
Speaker 1: limit the Chiefs production offensively, and it's not a mystery.
Speaker 1: You have to find eighty seven and you have to
Speaker 1: disrupt him. He's the most unique player I think I've
Speaker 1: ever studied. Do you guys remember that clip of the
Speaker 1: Chargers rookie asking him if he had any advice for
Speaker 1: the rook after they met on the field following the
Speaker 1: game a couple weeks back. Kelsey said that his key
Speaker 1: was to understand the other side of the football as
Speaker 1: well as you understand your own, and damn it, that's
Speaker 1: the entire key to his game. He loves to run
Speaker 1: to space regardless of his route. You'll see a pretty
Speaker 1: common concept start to unfold and then he just checks
Speaker 1: up like he's running a seven sail and he just
Speaker 1: like checks up for a little hookup. It's weird. He'll
Speaker 1: turn over the wrong shoulder. His spatial awareness, I would say,
Speaker 1: is the best of all time. Is that too much?
Speaker 1: Maybe Wes Welker was better, but those are one to
Speaker 1: two In my book, I would shadow him with five.
Speaker 1: I would put Jayalen Ramsey on eighty seven. And say
Speaker 1: you've got no one else to follow this game ten
Speaker 1: on ten. You're following eighty seven, maybe even Javon Holland sometimes,
Speaker 1: and maybe you can trap a little bit where you
Speaker 1: kind of change that up and try to muddy up
Speaker 1: the picture for Mahomes where it's sometimes it's X, sometimes
Speaker 1: it's Javon, sometimes it's Jalen. But primarily I would say
Speaker 1: five ninety five percent of your snaps, just follow eighty
Speaker 1: seven wherever he goes, go follow into the bench when
Speaker 1: he goes and gets gatorade. If we let Kelsey run
Speaker 1: through zones and the hook and the hook zone, guys
Speaker 1: is like between the numbers, you know, like five yards
Speaker 1: to fifteen yards off the football. If you let Kelsey
Speaker 1: just run free in that area, they're gonna kill you,
Speaker 1: That's what they do. You have to kind of trail
Speaker 1: him and put somebody in that hip pocket so he
Speaker 1: can't do that nonsense. The best way to negate him
Speaker 1: is to shadow him, because Mahomes is hesitant to go
Speaker 1: to his other guys because they've let him down time
Speaker 1: and time again, Like please just drop passes again and
Speaker 1: force pat to force some balls and then turn it over.
Speaker 1: I think you force that by taking Kelsey away. And
Speaker 1: the last thing here on Kelsey, so they always show
Speaker 1: the grind of his production with and without Taylor swift
Speaker 1: in attendance. Right, And I get that's easier to digest
Speaker 1: for the Swifties and probably most football fans, but Drivetime
Speaker 1: listeners do not saddle up shotgun for that type of analysis. Right.
Speaker 1: Here's the truth behind those splits. The difference between the
Speaker 1: games where he's produced one hundred and twenty four yards
Speaker 1: in Denver one hundred and seventy nine yards against the Chargers,
Speaker 1: those were the two games where he saw nearly exclusively
Speaker 1: zone coverage. Hey Brandon Staley, you're doing, bro, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? You defind the Tyreek Hill like that? Now
Speaker 1: you're gonna defend Travis Kelsey like that. The best way
Speaker 1: to take away those side adjustments is to just shadow him.
Speaker 1: But as we've learned from Mike McDaniel, if you take
Speaker 1: something away, you open something else up. Right, So we'll
Speaker 1: see and Mahomes, it's not you know, he's not at
Speaker 1: all shy about peppering other players. When Kelsey does command
Speaker 1: the attention, I think he hesitates a little bit, but
Speaker 1: he will do it. But if you go back to
Speaker 1: even the Alex Smith days and all those great matchups
Speaker 1: versus the Patriots, you know Belichick would always meg it
Speaker 1: man everywhere he goes, and then zone everywhere else. I
Speaker 1: think Miami is super equipped to do this, And I
Speaker 1: think the best part, I like three of our guys's
Speaker 1: play style or ability to match up with his physicality.
Speaker 1: X specializes in physical coverage, although I wouldn't do that
Speaker 1: because Kelsey is probably a smoother mover than X's at
Speaker 1: this point of his career. Javon is feisty as hell,
Speaker 1: and I like him playing that five yard off coverage
Speaker 1: and just kind of reading the hips of Kelsey and
Speaker 1: making those matches in his zone match patterns. And then
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. He literally did this with the Rams against Kelsey.
Speaker 1: In fact, I played up the last I pulled up
Speaker 1: the last two times that Ramsey played the Bucks. The
Speaker 1: playoff game two years ago, he was on Mike Evans
Speaker 1: most of the game, though he did have some snaps
Speaker 1: on Gronk and Oj Howard and allowed just one catch
Speaker 1: for seven yards to the two tight ends combined. Back
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, he was targeted seven times against Mike
Speaker 1: Evans to allow just four for forty. But Gronk again
Speaker 1: did not have a catch on eight routes against Jalen Ramsey. Honestly,
Speaker 1: my hypothesis with that we see Gronk more on Ramsey.
Speaker 1: But the point still stands, and in fact, there's even
Speaker 1: better historical evidence against the Chiefs and Kelsey. Here's the rub.
Speaker 1: Ramsey shadowed him really the entire game last year, and
Speaker 1: eighty four percent of Kelsey's routes came against Ramsey. Three targets,
Speaker 1: one catch. Now, it was a big play, a thirty
Speaker 1: nine yard touchdown, but guess what one of those incompletions
Speaker 1: was also a pick for Ramsey. So if you tell
Speaker 1: me right now that Ramsey shadows Kelsey and he scores once,
Speaker 1: gains thirty nine yards and there's a pick in there,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins will win the game if you get that
Speaker 1: production from Jalen Ramsey. How about elsewhere on this Kse offense.
Speaker 1: Because we talked a lot about Kelsey here, the more
Speaker 1: I watched the team, the more I saw wins despite
Speaker 1: these disjointed looks where Mahomes like kind of gets off
Speaker 1: structure and off schedule, but then he's really not like
Speaker 1: he has some weird footwork that works for him in
Speaker 1: the pocket. And we'll talk to bj Kissel, longtime chiefs
Speaker 1: analysts about this tomorrow. But I think they're still working
Speaker 1: in the familiarity of Matt Naggi coming back. And you know,
Speaker 1: I know Andy Reid is the head honcho there, but
Speaker 1: Eric Bienemy had been there the entirety of his career previously,
Speaker 1: but then also trying to get things sorted out with
Speaker 1: the rest of this young wide receiver group that has
Speaker 1: been assembled over the last two years. Bind MVS big
Speaker 1: bodied X receiver off to a slow start, does not
Speaker 1: separate at all, Sky Moore like think Albert Wilson, Like,
Speaker 1: there's not really any vertical sense of good route distribution.
Speaker 1: How he kind of gets separation. He aligns everywhere. They
Speaker 1: try to manufacture touches for him, but he does not
Speaker 1: catch anything beyond like ten yards down the field. Darius
Speaker 1: tell me is the Kadarius Tony is the exact same
Speaker 1: way as that. Justin Watson is a kin to me
Speaker 1: to MVS play style wise, and then Mkole Hardman is
Speaker 1: the take the top off burner. I don't think any
Speaker 1: of those matchups scare me, like take away, Kelsey, I
Speaker 1: think you can hold this offense to like twenty four points.
Speaker 1: I really do. And how Miami matches up there, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what they do exactly, but you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be frank with you guys. I think
Speaker 1: Miami ought to put it to these casey eligibles. We
Speaker 1: are better than they are. Every matchup favors Miami, and
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about someone making us pay for
Speaker 1: giving too much attention to Travis Kelcey. I almost wonder
Speaker 1: if you just man him up and then zone off
Speaker 1: everything else. But then again, I don't like a heavy plan.
Speaker 1: Think a man heavy plan is a bad idea either.
Speaker 1: As long as you have someone keeping an eye on
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. The one thing you have to accept is
Speaker 1: they are going to scheme open wins. Andy Reid's a genius.
Speaker 1: There's no way around that. They get layups off their
Speaker 1: zone read RPO looks for Mahomes just kind of point
Speaker 1: and shoot and very adept approach in terms of seeing
Speaker 1: coverage and getting the football out fast. They hit RPOs
Speaker 1: with horizontal stretch as well as anybody. Again, it's Andy Reid,
Speaker 1: so you live with those, but like I said, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of chaos ball where he moves around and
Speaker 1: makes plays from the move. Rush lane integrity is vital.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can bank on constant pressure in
Speaker 1: this game because that interior offensive line is so good,
Speaker 1: and then Mahomes is so good at mitigating exterior pressure
Speaker 1: off the edge, because if there's been one area they've
Speaker 1: struggled to protect, it's off tackle. We'll tell you about
Speaker 1: the numbers behind that next on the Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 1: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation,
Speaker 1: segment number three, and gosh, I continue to just think
Speaker 1: about how fired up I am for this game. I'm
Speaker 1: just fired up to be here. Pressures allowed, I mentioned
Speaker 1: that off the other side, these actually are a lot
Speaker 1: higher than I thought they would be. And you watch
Speaker 1: the Chiefs on tape, you know, like Mahomes makes a
Speaker 1: lot of it work. But they've gotten beat quite a
Speaker 1: bit on the offensive line in terms of past sets.
Speaker 1: So Donovan Smith twenty nine pressures allowed, Juwan Taylor twenty
Speaker 1: one pressures, and then inside both guards, Smith and Toney
Speaker 1: have allowed fifteen each and then create Humphrey nine. So
Speaker 1: Donovan Smith is their left tackle, and to me, he
Speaker 1: is very gettable. I think Bradley Chubb can reset him
Speaker 1: and run through him with power and just push him
Speaker 1: into Mahomes's lap in a way that forces Mahomes hopefully
Speaker 1: up into a collapsing interior pocket. As long as Wilkins
Speaker 1: and seither can get their handful of wins that marry
Speaker 1: up with Chubbs wins at the right time, and if
Speaker 1: he you know, tucks it and looks for space, I
Speaker 1: think Chubb can have a big game where maybe he
Speaker 1: has multiple sacks, getting that second effort getting off the
Speaker 1: block and chasing Mahomes and you know, tripping him up
Speaker 1: and get him from the ground. If they do that
Speaker 1: a couple of times and put him behind the chains,
Speaker 1: I like Miami's chances. On the other side, take struggles
Speaker 1: with really quick getoffs, and that's what Phillips and Van
Speaker 1: Ging will do. Man and Phillips can convert that the power.
Speaker 1: Phillips is just a complete player. I think we match
Speaker 1: up really well here, guys. It'll be interesting to see
Speaker 1: where miam he can get their wins up front, because
Speaker 1: I don't bet against ninety four and ninety two. But again,
Speaker 1: that interior three is as good as there is in football.
Speaker 1: I think the big key for those guys is keeping
Speaker 1: second level climbers from attaching to both Long and Baker,
Speaker 1: and that's where I thought Wilkins and Sila were best
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. I mentioned I thought that David Long
Speaker 1: was a key in the Philly game, and he played
Speaker 1: awesome and it looks like he's kind of arrived as
Speaker 1: the guy that I thought he would be in this defense.
Speaker 1: Mahomes is not a designed run quarterback like Hurtzes, but
Speaker 1: he scrambles as smart as anybody, and that he attacks
Speaker 1: the lion of scrimmage looking to throw vertically, but then
Speaker 1: sometimes just falls into these big runs on scrambles as
Speaker 1: a secondary option. Mahomes getting out wide is the biggest
Speaker 1: nightmare in this game possible all year. They've rarely won
Speaker 1: in structure, but their quarterback is the greatest creator of
Speaker 1: all time. How do you defend that? It's tough, but
Speaker 1: you have to plaster when he breaks, which is the
Speaker 1: hardest thing to ask of a defensive back. It's why
Speaker 1: I wonder if you go manner zone in this game,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blitz him, you know, save those extra bodies
Speaker 1: for covering up Kelsey anyway you can. I wouldn't count
Speaker 1: on pass rush wins on the interior, So play with
Speaker 1: good rush land integrity. Just contain Mahomes' ability and win
Speaker 1: with coverage and I think you'll be good. They will
Speaker 1: test the edges with a quick game. But again, I
Speaker 1: don't think there's a better short area tackler to go
Speaker 1: get Tony to go get more to the ground at
Speaker 1: the corner position than cater Kohu. And we all saw
Speaker 1: how Ramsey fares in that category last week. Too big
Speaker 1: key there. You shut down those plays on early downs,
Speaker 1: force them behind the chains. That's where a lot of
Speaker 1: the mistakes have come from in terms of giveaways and
Speaker 1: the case offense bogging down a little bit. Finally, their
Speaker 1: running game. I like Pacheco a lot. He and McKinnon
Speaker 1: are as deadly as they come in the passing game,
Speaker 1: So big game for long and bake not just getting
Speaker 1: off those interior blocks, but being able to run wide
Speaker 1: because they love to stretch you in the curl flat
Speaker 1: area and just basically open up his zones for Kelsey
Speaker 1: to pick his way through. So if you lock down Kelsey,
Speaker 1: you have to make sure you have eyes on the
Speaker 1: running backs getting wide in the short passing game to
Speaker 1: help Mahomes kind of create that spacing. If ever there
Speaker 1: was a week to stop overrunning hook zone throws, drome,
Speaker 1: this is the week to do it. What's at stake
Speaker 1: here for Miami. This is the most important game of
Speaker 1: the year for my money, and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: In this context, I want home field advantage. That's why
Speaker 1: I think it's biggest game the Dolphins have played in decades,
Speaker 1: because the previous biggest games were like trying to maybe
Speaker 1: overtake the Patriots by a game, and the standings in
Speaker 1: early October. I think this team has a chance to
Speaker 1: win the whole damn thing. And I think if they
Speaker 1: win this game, I think they'll get home field. But
Speaker 1: I think it goes without saying that. You know, teams
Speaker 1: that come here to face a sixteen to two team
Speaker 1: at home in the last eighteen games, it's not crazy
Speaker 1: to say you like your chances in those situations. Right,
Speaker 1: If you lose the KC, you're a game back in
Speaker 1: the lost column, and they have the head to head advantage.
Speaker 1: So the winner of this game will essentially earn a
Speaker 1: two game advantage over the other when we both head
Speaker 1: into our Week ten buy for us. We play teams
Speaker 1: that will be at least a touchdown favor over. Right.
Speaker 1: You get Zach Wilson twice, Sam Howell, Aidan O'Connell, now
Speaker 1: Will Levis. Okay, what I'm telling you is, if you
Speaker 1: beat Casey, you're going to own the one seed heading
Speaker 1: into Christmas Eve against the Cowboys with a very likely
Speaker 1: scenario where if you just win two of the final
Speaker 1: three games, you'll get home field advantage, maybe even one
Speaker 1: out of the last three, which I know Dolphins has
Speaker 1: probably would panic out their breeches if that happens. But
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you you could go into the last
Speaker 1: three games with a two game advantage with two of
Speaker 1: those games at home as well. So that's my long
Speaker 1: winded way of saying I fully expect that if you
Speaker 1: beat case you're going to the super Bowl. That's how
Speaker 1: I see it. Long way to go, but hey, I
Speaker 1: like my track record with predicting this stuff. The keys
Speaker 1: of the game. Do not let Travis Kelsey beat you.
Speaker 1: I think it's I think you'd be foolish to not
Speaker 1: give him more attention and force Tony and Moore and
Speaker 1: Watson and these guys to beat you. Second key when
Speaker 1: when the Chiefs go offscript on offense, plaster to your guy,
Speaker 1: have Rushland tagery. Do not let Mahomes create outside of
Speaker 1: a structure. That's where he's most deadly. Just contain that
Speaker 1: a little bit at number three, marry up the run
Speaker 1: and the pass to attack the middle of the Casey defense.
Speaker 1: That's where they're vulnerable. And speaking of areas of concern,
Speaker 1: Kelsey Mahomes offscript as a scrambler, Chris Jones. If we
Speaker 1: don't have Rob or Connor worries me areas to exploit
Speaker 1: middle of the field on Kansas City's defense. They're banged
Speaker 1: up linebackers and safety and cornerback depth, they're tackles in
Speaker 1: pass pro, and Ramsey as the ultimate eracer. My prediction.
Speaker 1: I told you guys, I was concerned about not having
Speaker 1: Connor Williams against the Eagles and would flip that pick
Speaker 1: if he didn't play. And he didn't, I flipped it.
Speaker 1: We lost by two touchdowns. I told you I was
Speaker 1: worried about Buffalo if we didn't have Deshaun Elliott and
Speaker 1: I might flip the pick. We didn't. I did not
Speaker 1: flip the pick. I should have, but the reason I'm
Speaker 1: telling you all of this is that I don't have
Speaker 1: these concerns this week. I think we're going to see
Speaker 1: Miami play their best game of the year. Think you're
Speaker 1: gonna see him beat a very good team. I think
Speaker 1: you're going to go into the bye week as the
Speaker 1: one seed, knowing you have five cupcakes coming in to
Speaker 1: the line of the schedule. An erase all the negative
Speaker 1: nonsense people have been spouting. Thirty four twenty four Dolphins
Speaker 1: get the biggest win they've had in franchise history, going
Speaker 1: back to the Jets win in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: That's it. We'll have the recap pod for you guys
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoons. It's an earlier game, so we'll have
Speaker 1: that the postgame show the Monday, All twenty two. Then
Speaker 1: the schedule changes for the bye week. I'll give you
Speaker 1: some more detail about that next week. I have some
Speaker 1: big guests lined up that I'm very pumped to talk
Speaker 1: to and bring to you guys here on the podcast.
