WEBVTT - 5 Big Picture Thoughts, Analysts Break Down Dolphins, First Word on Buffalo 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.520 To US fires, touch, stop waddle snuck into the end 0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:09.639 zone of Miami boy, tight froll, tight window. They had 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:11.760 to get that touchdown on that play. They get it. 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:19.560 What is up, Dolphans, and welcome to the drivetime podcast, 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:24.000 part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:28.360 your Miami Dolphins. How's it going, everybody? I am your host, 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:32.280 Travis Wingfield, and on today's show it's pivot day, Hump Day, 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:33.839 I don't know what you want to call it. I 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.480 call it another football day here on the drivetime podcast. 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.120 I liked the segment we did last week. Five things. 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:40.879 I think you can tell me if you don't, but 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.159 we're gonna do it again anyways. We'll hear some more 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.040 from around the web and social will also hear from 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.159 some of the players with the first word on the 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.639 buffalo bills here on this Wednesday from the Baptist Health 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:57.280 Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:03.360 drivetime podcast Miami. By the way, raced out there the 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.120 one that said the spongebob meme to me about the 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:10.800 pause before the Miami Dolphins first down. Really enjoyed that tweet. 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.800 Good Sir, and I'm going to keep doing those long 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.600 pauses because I get a kick out of it and 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.399 it's my show and I have the microphone, so I 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:23.560 will say whatever I want. Sound good. Let's kick this 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.679 off with the five things. I think it's funny how 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.440 these Wednesday podcasts have come together through two weeks. I 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.200 put a lot of time just thinking about it. Like 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.399 once caroline goes to bed on Monday night and I'm starting, 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.840 I'm watching the the MNF games, the wheels really begin 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.240 to turn, especially when she's awake at thirty at night 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.640 and I'm rocking her back to sleep in a dark room, 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.200 just staring at dark walls. Caroline, please go back to 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.480 sleep at some point in your life. UH, there's no 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.920 better time. Now there's to think, though sometimes it's podcast 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.360 most time it's just staring at the dark, dark walls, 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.960 thinking to myself, and in those think tanks I often 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.480 come up with nothing. But then on Tuesday morning, when 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.520 I'm driving a little girl to school, I'm listening to 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.040 more podcasts, more football content. I boot up the laptop 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.000 after I get back and make some coffee and just 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.320 kind of prove social and I think all the thinking 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.440 allows my brain to get to the point that I 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.120 want to be and maybe engaging more with what people 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.200 are talking about on social because just like that, boom, 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.400 the ideas start to froll, furl, they start to flow in. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.480 And so we start here with five things that I think, 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.760 and you saw me tweeting about this on Tuesday. I 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.000 forget what day it is on the podcast every time 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.040 because I record the day before. So forgive me if 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.280 I'm never wrong on that, but this is the Wednesday podcast, 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:45.000 recording on four at pm on a Tuesday. Number One, 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:49.400 I'm all over the place. Twa and twenty two in 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.560 critical areas. As I was sipping that coffee, I thought, 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.480 why don't I type two ah into the search bar, 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.640 and sure enough what I find is that the NFL 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.600 network has this hall of frame a war they'd give 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.160 out with the picture of the week. Dolphins are two 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.560 and oh in that category. Coach one last week and 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.760 TWA gets it this week, unless there was a late 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.320 shift in the voting, because what I saw it was 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.160 like overwhelmingly the picture of Ta with Dan Marino on 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.280 looking in the background. And by the way, if you 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.119 haven't seen that photo, like Marino has like this look 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.239 of ultimate approvals. He's putting his hands together and to 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.200 a like I've been saying, this is some friends and 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.320 text and whatnot. That game to me for two was 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.320 like a release valve. was was hit for him, all 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:33.120 the frustration, all the negativity around his game. For whatever 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.520 the hell reason that he gets all that negativity, I 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:40.240 will never know. But it kind of felt like just 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.040 like Ah, it's all been released at this stage. That 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.560 was really, really cool to see. So that won their 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.080 award after coach mcdaniel got the Gatorade Bath and won 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.400 the award last week. Also, checking on the Fedex air 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.720 player of the week, when I checked it this morning, 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.560 seventy eight point eight percent of the votes went to 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.640 to a on a under in five k votes on 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.480 that twitter, that tweeter tweet, and then also, I believe, 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.480 to Uh. I assume. I don't know, but I have 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.080 to assume he should be getting a F C player 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.600 of the week. We'll check back on that, but I 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.680 have to assume six touchdowns in almost five yards. We'll 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.240 do that, but I've been wrong before. And then yesterday 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.120 I read off some fourth quarter rankings for two over 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.320 the last two seasons of his career and he wasn't 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.560 first in some of the major categories, in top five 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.520 and others, but I wanted to include that rookie season 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:34.600 because it just gives you a comprehensive picture. Hat Tip 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.560 to Marcel Louis Jacque of ESPN for this note. And 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.320 it is Louis Jack by the way. If I've seen 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.120 that name MIS pronounced a lot of times from the 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.200 guy that misspronounces more names than anybody else, that one, 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.960 I'll give you a heads up on how to pronounce 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.480 Marcell's name. Love Marcel's work, by the way, in QB 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.840 R to us since his rookie season. Second in the 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:56.600 fourth quarter adjusted completion percentage. Second off target throw percentage, 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:02.760 second fewest tight window completion percentage. Second completion percentage over 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.599 expected sixth. That is a stat by next Gen stats 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.800 where they take years and years and years and decades 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.520 and decades of data and they look at the coverage, 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.159 separation and all kinds of other factors that go into 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:20.159 that and give you a completion percentage expectation. This stat 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.520 measures how much higher over that expectation you perform. So 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.800 it's the norm. How much more you perform over that. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.400 He's sixth than that category in the fourth quarter since 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.920 his rookie season. Yards per attempt a little bit easier 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.520 of a stat to digest. He's eighth and then touchdown 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:38.480 to interception ratio eight. It's pretty good, pretty good. I 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.760 thought it was important to provide that, not just cherry pick, 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.400 because I do think it's fair to evaluate quarterbacks removed 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.559 from their rookie seasons, because it's very rare that rookie 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.760 quarterbacks have impressive numbers. Just go back to last year's 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.840 class and I'm sure this year's class will have more 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.160 of the same. But we are comprehensive on the podcast 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.640 and speaking of that, I'm a huge fan of the 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.760 move the sticks podcast. Daniel Jeremiah and bucky brooks do 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.920 fantastic work covering the draft and then they see the 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.159 season through the scouts eyes and Jeremiah had said at 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.640 least a hundred times in the show since I've been 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.800 listening to it, and that might be hyperbole, but you 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.440 get it. When he goes to a prospects tape in college, 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.960 the first thing that he gets from the scouting community 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.120 is a third and medium to third and long reel. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.800 You want to see how that quarterback performs in dropback 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.280 situations where the defense knows the past is coming. Can 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:30.160 you complete tight windows consistently in those situations? The other 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:31.839 thing he wants to know about is how they play 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.760 at the end of halfs and games and also, finally, obviously, 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.080 your fourth quarter production in general. Well, through two games 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.000 this year, here's what to us. Splits tell us in 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.200 terms of the third down and medium to long numbers. 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:50.240 So this is third and seven or longer. Ten of 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.640 twelve d eighty passing yards, three touchdowns and eight first down. 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.960 So s conversion, though. That's the thirty three percent, give 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.560 or take uh NFL wide number usually around for third 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.960 and seven or longer. He's at through two games if 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:13.120 you add uh the four through six yardage barrier, thirteen 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:17.040 of sixteen, two hundred and fifty one yards. I'm just 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.160 laughing because these are numbers are these are video game members. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.960 Travis Wingfield, Madden two thousand five, the quarterback for the 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.760 Miami Dolphins, was putting these numbers up. Four touchdowns, ten 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.880 first downs. That's ten first downs out of sixteen tries. 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.280 It gets lower somehow, but you get a fourth quarter 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.960 eighteen for twenty six, two hundred forty nine yards, four touchdowns, 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.040 no picks and a one thirty nine point three passer rating. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.080 One point three is perfect, by the way, highest it goes. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.720 And of course there was a touchdown in two minute 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:46.960 at the end of the first half against the Patriots. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.960 We knelt on the football on two plays in the 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.480 red zone in the fourth quarter in that game. So 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.800 at minimum you're in field goal range. I tend to 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:56.640 think they could have knocked it in there if they 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.240 wanted to, if they attempted to. And then we get 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.280 another touch down in two minutes, in the last two 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.040 minutes of the Game Against Baltimore. So four team points 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.160 in four two minutes. Situations potential for seventeen or twenty 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.480 one if not for that victory formation. So too, in 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.280 the critical areas, that's your production you're getting out of 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.360 your starting quarterback. Number two, explosive plays. The dolphins have 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.840 eleven explosive plays this year. Those are runs of ten 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.920 or more yards and receptions of twenty or more yards. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:29.960 They are coming up total already through two games. This 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:31.960 is something we've talked about at length for a couple 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.000 of years and, quite frankly, a couple of decades. Here. 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:38.240 I mean Ricky Williams was the last time this offense 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.599 was consistently productive and even then, like you know the 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.120 running back, you could have games where it's like caries, 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.600 nine yards and two touchdowns, but you're not really doing 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.760 a whole lot in terms of explosives. Whether it's this 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.680 podcast or the postgame show or the twitter spaces, every 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.079 avenue we do content and we've been talking about this, 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.280 where the one thing you need is more explosive plays 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.640 and to eliminate the need for so many. Mythoughts uncle drives, 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.800 because a false start, a holding call, an eligible man 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.760 down field, a drop pass, a miss throw, there are 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.400 so many factors that can cause you to get behind 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.880 the chains and wind up kicking field goals on those 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.760 twelve play drives. You know how you get touchdowns out 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.080 of those? You go like this. Tyreek this year has 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:23.280 plays of sixty twenty one. Jalen waddle has plays of fifty, 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:27.440 ninety two, thirty three. Chase Edmonds has a twenty eight 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.000 yard Gash where he moster has a pair of eleven 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.840 yard runs and we saw that ninety five yard drive. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.320 I think actually yard drive was the total on that uh, 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.040 that first touchdown drive in Baltimore, and actually became ninety 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:41.800 eight because we started to drive with a two yard 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.080 loss on eight was a moster or Edmunds run. Then 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.800 it took four plays to get six. Waddle for fifty nine, 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.880 tyreek for fifteen, Surefield for twelve, waddle for five and 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.400 the touchdown that's sure. Is Nice when you can do 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.920 it that quick, that explosive. This offense has seven touchdown 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.840 drives this season. They have gone this long. Seven, uh 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:04.240 seven drives. Three minutes forty seven seconds. That was the 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.160 waddle touchdown against New England, and then the rest of 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.120 them are obviously last week, three minutes forty nine seconds 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.840 to go yards. Seven minutes and eight seconds to open 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.920 that third quarter. Three minutes fourteen seconds, one minute twenty 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:22.480 four seconds, one minute twenty seven seconds, two minutes four seconds. 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.720 So on. Seven touchdown drives, the dolphins averaged three minutes 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:31.960 and twenty six seconds per touchdown drive. Explosive offense. Number 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.000 three thing I think after two in critical moments. An 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.320 explosive offense is the diversity of offensive production. Coach had 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:42.880 an awesome answer Kawa talking about the one, nine two 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.960 yards piled up by the non tyreek and Jalen waddle 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.920 players on the offense on Sunday. You can hear that 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.880 quote on the Tuesday podcast. But how about the production 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:56.040 this team is getting out of two vastly different personnel groupings, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.840 per nfl true media, eleven personnel is three receivers. When 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:03.920 you hear someone say a number for personnel, eleven, twelve, one, O, 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.679 O one, the first number is a number of running backs, 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.760 the second number is the number of tight ends, and 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.360 then you always have five offensive Lineman, unless you go 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.880 heavy and bring on a sixth or seventh offensive lineman. 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.280 We haven't gone there yet this season. And then you 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.719 have one quarterback. So that always leaves you with the 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:25.880 remainder number being the number of wide receivers. So eleven personnel, 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:29.440 one back, one tight end, three receivers. Twenty one personnel 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:34.560 equals two backs, one tight end, two wide receivers. Were good, 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.080 we caught up. Okay, eleven personnel. This year the dolphins 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.040 average eight point seven one yards per play. That's third 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.320 in the National Football League. They average six point six 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.480 nine yards per play out of twenty one personnel. There's 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.199 your Alec Ingold Package, which takes a receiver off the field. 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.560 That's first in the NFL and ingold has been fantastic. 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.040 So the ability to create offensive production out of diverse 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.719 packages and just the schematics, schematics of this offense. We'll 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.679 we'll play a clip here for you guys from a 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.360 couple of people around the analystsphere talking about how much 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.520 they love this offense. But there you go. There's some 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.520 proof in the pudding, in the production, in the numbers. 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.679 I don't know what I'm talking about anymore. Number four, 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.760 Greg little and the next man up mentality. We saw 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.280 greg get a little run upon returning from injury against 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.680 the Eagles back in the preseason, and here's what coach 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.520 mcdaniel hided to say about that. I thought he did 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.599 a great job. I was proud of him, coach, and 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.120 of Greg Little. You wouldn't have thought he was progressing 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.960 through an injury. I thought that he you can't hide 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.160 from the tape and what I saw was a guy that, 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.400 while he hasn't been getting physical reps, he's been getting 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.640 mental reps and watching his teammates performed the desired task 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.880 and learning from them, because he came back and played 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.680 at a level that was higher than when he left, 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.480 which is something that I never lose sight of and 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.040 it's a big deal to me. I was happy for 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.280 him he was able to do it. That was before 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.559 or after the eagles game, before the year started. So 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.240 Greg Little comes off the bench against the Patriots and 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.640 it wasn't the best performance. I think he'll tell you that. Uh, 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.079 we definitely did enough to survive that game, but the 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.640 pressures in that game on too largely came off of 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.480 that right side. But his first start as a Miami 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.880 Dolphin in a noisy, hostile environment, all he does one 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.559 pressure allowed tons of good seals and reach blocks and 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.480 wins at the point of attack in the running game. 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.959 And a lot of that's on Odafe Oh way, who 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.920 was third among rookies last year, behind Micah Parsons and 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.360 Jalen Phillips, in qb sacks. He also had fifteen qb 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.240 hits as a rookie. Campaign didn't get either of those 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.040 on Greg little. Good teams have an ability to do 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.320 this right. It's early, but it is a great start. 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.280 You can only prove what you have in front of 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.720 you and in Greg Little's first game he was really 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.240 up to the challenge. I think it speaks to his mindset. 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.520 I think it speaks this team's mindset and I think 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.079 it speaks of the coaching job by Matt Applebaum and 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.000 this entire coaching staff on this offensive line getting these 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.359 guys to play at this level. Good teams survive attrition 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.520 every single year. Every year teams that go deep into 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.440 the postseason do it down big time plays the bills 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.640 last year, Trey White. It didn't really matter until it 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.040 didn't against the chiefs. But every year you lose key 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.400 components and teams fight back. They bounced back and they 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.840 make stuff happen. Let's finish up here at number five, 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.920 early season, big games. This is a big one, right. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.640 We know about this. I think this quote from coach 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.599 really speaks to the magnitude of any one game. And 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.440 look like I'm not gonna blow smoke here. You guys 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.040 know it's a big game. I know it is too. 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.160 It's obvious, but I think they're still perspective to be had. 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.560 In Man, teams change and evolve over the course of 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.120 the year, right like we try to take lessons from 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.640 each game, from each season, and one that I've picked 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.320 up over the years, and you can't say it better 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.440 than coach did after the week. One win is this 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:44.400 coach mcdaniel. Theoretically not outcome oriented, but theoretically butchered that word. 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.280 If we're on the journey that we want to be on, 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.800 that should be the worst game we play all year. 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.240 In reference to week one against the Patriots, that you 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.440 should always be getting better and that's not always measured 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.480 with wins and losses, but the best teams, if you 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.160 want to be a good team in this league, you 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.360 have to be playing your best football in the end 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:04.280 of November and December months. So that's what we're gearing towards. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.240 And there was definitely no celebrations or parties today after 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.200 the Patriots game, and that is true of the Ravens 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:12.680 game right like we all had fun as fans, but 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.280 you gotta get back to work and get back to Buffalo. 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.320 So all seventeen games are big and you know, maybe 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.360 that's the wrong phrase for it, and I wanted to 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.240 make this kind of like numbers base, but there isn't 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.520 really a criteria that gives me what I'm looking for because, 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.440 you know, I went back to some previous big games 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.880 and it just hasn't gone well for the dolphins. I 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.000 was trying to find like maybe when both teams are 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.360 over five hundred. Maybe both teams have a victory. I 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.160 don't know what it was, but just like I mean 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.800 gets the PATS. You guys knew about that game. Seven teen. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.440 We had that opening day win, but then we lost 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.280 the next two games, akin to the twenty seasons where 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.840 we went on runs after slow starts. Also in we 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:55.640 didn't use fifteen because both those seasons just stunk. Team 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.840 was the next one. You get the big opening day 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.760 win over the Patriots, the next week at Buffalo. The 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:02.680 previous year you start three and Oh and play the 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:06.480 saints on Monday night football. Seventeen to the saints and 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.080 then a four game losing streak. It's a great opportunity 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.520 on Sunday, a test against a team that has given 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.640 us fits, a chance to get to three and oh 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.160 but maybe even more importantly, two and oh in the division. 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.600 I can't wait. Also a reminder you just haven't won 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.760 anything yet. Like it's fun, enjoy it, but man, these 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.800 seasons are long. You'RE gonna go through peaks and valleys. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.840 Last year I remember Buffalo Fans, after losing to Jacksonville, 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.280 say we might not even make the playoffs. And this 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.560 year we have super bowl aspirations and I remember telling 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.440 those guys like my buddy from the rock pile report 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.800 like yeah, you're gonna make the playoffs. Relaxed, Dude, you'll 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.400 be just fine. Hell, our last two playoff appearances the 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.240 start of the seasons one and four and two and four. 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.760 So while we're feeling great against you know the what 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.560 we've done so far. Teams like the raiders, Titans and 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.880 Bengals fans who are really upset about their beginnings of 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.840 the seasons. Their seasons are not over and we sure 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.920 as hell don't have an x, Y or Z next 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.040 to our name in the standings. Will come back on 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.160 the other side and go around the web and here 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.240 from some of our favorite analysts breaking the game down. 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.520 That's next on the drivetime podcast. Your host, Travis Wingfield, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:12.560 brought to you by auto nation. Segment too, on a 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.680 Wednesday here on the drivetime podcast, we're gonna go around 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.399 the web here and hear from some of our favorite 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.280 analysts about the dolphins production, the offensive design, the quarterback. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.000 We start here with Brian Baldinger doing his thing. Two 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:29.399 minutes twenty seconds buckling. That was the score in the 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.159 fourth quarter, with twelve minutes and eighteen seconds to go. 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.840 And right now it's third and two and there's river 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.240 Craig craft. He's in the slot there because tyreek kill. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.320 He's got cramps and he's getting worked on on the sideline. 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.800 Watch what Craig craft does. Here came and Mike mcdaniel 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.800 from San Francisco. He runs the speed out right there 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.879 too is not looking at him, but watch Craig craft 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.159 come running and never stopped running and beat the rookie 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.560 right here, Williams, for that first touchdown. The US to four. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:05.000 I thought was one. Then you get tyreek right here 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.200 down against Marcus Peters and Kyle Hamilton's rookie, and you 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.840 can see what speed does. He runs right by Marcus 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:15.280 Peters and Kyle Hamilton's doesn't know what happened. Like he's 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.040 the free safety on the play and he ran right by. 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.359 So that was too. That was forty eight yards. was 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.719 seven four to go. Two minutes to twenty seven seconds 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.560 later there's tyreek up at the top. I don't know 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:31.480 what these ravens are doing. This is a complete blown coverage. 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.639 That's Jay Little More Davis on the corner and he 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.000 lets him run right by and everybody else is doubling 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.920 jail and waddle or tripling jail and waddle, and just 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.119 like that the Cheetah was dancing in the end zone again, 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.959 like he had done basically throughout the pregame warm up, 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.000 where he was just seeing how far he could throw 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.760 the ball. Anybody could throw it farther than the Cheetah? Nobody. 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.119 And then it came down to here's the throne, because 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.080 you're gonna get Calais Campbell coming right at two of 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:03.119 white opening free. He Beats Hykenberg right here. But he 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:07.919 was not to be distracted at all by six eight 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.720 clays Campbell coming at him and just throw it to 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.440 an open patch of grass and, like tyreek, do the best, 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.120 do the rest. And then it was this. Right here 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.399 there's Jalen wattle, emotion, Jalen Moore Davis, the rookie is 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:25.160 with him and right here to his steps up throws 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.560 it up high, puts it on the rim and just 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.440 like that it was time to do the watter. And 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.720 here's what it looked like. Three men rush, so two 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.639 I had the time to go find the exit right 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:40.800 here and step up into this throat. Eyes Down the field. 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.240 He's got water here. Watch where he puts it. Davis 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:49.200 is all over, wattle takes it away. I think it's 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:53.440 really funny that we get an example of Calias Campbell 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.359 running full speed six eight with the longest wingspan the 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:00.320 history of the national football it come out a taken 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:02.800 with his hands in the air at two U on 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.240 the same week where coach mcdaniel talked about vision for 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.280 a quarterback and the whole malarkey about like two us 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.760 six FT and can't see certain things, but all quarterbacks 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.560 have areas where they can't see certain things. I think 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.520 it's absolutely hilarious to begin an example of Campbell running 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.440 full steam right ahead and to his face and he 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:21.480 makes one of his best throws of his career in 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:25.320 that situation. Next let's go to Dan Orlowski, who's pumped 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:29.640 up about this Mike mcdaniel offense. This play basically encapsulates 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.480 Mike mcdaniel, the head coach, play designer, play caller for 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:38.000 the dolphins, and exactly what he did yesterday and really, 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.960
