This guy has been playing out of 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.759 his mind unconscious all season long. He is the top 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.840 passer on Pro Football Focus and Attacking Deep, vertically down 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.880 the Field Passer Rating QBR, whatever you want to measure 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.640 him up against. He's pretty much a top the statistic leaderboard. 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.920 And what I find most interesting about the fact that 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.560 this guy has fourteen touchdown passes and with four touchdown 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.840 passes in each of the first three games, he's the 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.440 first player to ever do that in the National Football League, 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.360 on track to break Patrick mahomes a touchdown pass record, 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.720 and he has zero turnovers in those three games as well, 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.320 so fifth or fourteen rather touchdown passes and zero turnovers 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.880 for the c quarterback. He's also only thrown twenty four 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.120 incomplete passes on the entire season, so only a few 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.320 more in completions than he has touchdown passes, computing seventy 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.320 six point seven percent of his passes, and the Seahawks 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.040 are three and no because of that offensive production between 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.240 he dk Metcalf Tyler Lockett. Because you look at their 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.679 defense right now, they have surrendered a league high fourteen 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.160 hundred and ninety two yards against and a league highs 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.080 six point six yards per play against them. To kind 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.360 of put that into context, last time this year, after 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.680 three weeks, the Dolphins defense had allowed fourteen hundred and 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.040 nine eight yards on the season, So just six few 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.840 yards allowed for the Seahawks defense this year compared to 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.040 Miami last year in nineteen on the defensive side of 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.880 the football. So interesting matchup coming here to South Florida. 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.680 We know about all the intricate details of this matchup. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.840 A West Coast team coming east and if you look 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.640 at the Seahawks passed, they start games slower. But even 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.640 with you have Russell Wilson in the game in the lineup, 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.720 he's gonna come out and give you at least one 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.920 quarter if not too three or four and get that 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.000 team back in the game. So it's gonna be crucial 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.400 if that is the case in this game for the 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.080 Dolphins to not let the Seahawks kind of get their 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.280 momentum and get carried back into the game if they do. 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.800 When facts start off slow, as teams in the West 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.400 Coast region coming over to the East coast one o'clock 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.400 kickoff due so many times before. The Seahawks defense also 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.040 played eighty snaps on Sunday against Dak Prescott and that 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.680 Cowboys offense, So they're conditioning going to be put to 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.959 the test coming into a game with the Miami Dolphins, 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.000 who had the extra three days off with the benefit 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.320 of the Thursday night game, and Jacksonville Seahawks also going 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.400 to be in those dark blue jerseys on the far 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.600 side of the field or where the bench is gonna 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.000 be on the portion of hard rock stadium that is 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.680 exposed to the sunshine in those dark blue uniforms with 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.640 Miami in the home white. So very interesting matchup here 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.000 between the Dolphins and the Seahawks. Will get more into 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.760 that on tomorrow and Thursday's podcast taking a look at 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.960 this game at this preview, A big test, a big 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.120 challenge for this Dolphins team hoping to get back to 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.280 five hundred at two and two against one of the 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.200 NFL's best quarterbacks, best players in Russell Wilson, and a 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.840 good team in the Seattle Seahawks. Before we go ahead 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.440 and get into the Coaches Meet Availability today. I want 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.920 to get into Travis's top ten something I want to 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.280 do on the podcast here on Tuesdays. And since we're 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.000 doing it first here, let's go ahead and make it 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.240 the top ten plays of the season so far for 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.560 your Miami Dolphins. And we start here with number ten, 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.480 and we're gonna make it. Jerome Baker's strip and force 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:16.920 fumble out of the back of the end zone in 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.760 Week one at New England. I love the hustle he 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.719 showed almost particular play because he's lined up over the 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.840 Patriots right tackle, but there is a tight end in 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.400 the formation and a receiver in tight to the formation 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.680 as well, so Jerome Baker has lots of trash to 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.280 work through. As Cam Newton does a play action rollout, 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.279 the running back releases to the same side. Baker is 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.000 outflanked at that point and has to catch up from behind. 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.599 He gets back in there, finds the past catcher, the 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.279 ball carrier, punches that thing out, gets a big takeaway, 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.640 a big momentum shift in that game at the time. 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.400 That's play number ten so far on this season. Jerome 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.960 Baker's hustle to get a forced fumble in week number one, 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.080 play number nine. Let's go ahead and make it another 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.960 linebacker forced fumble and go to Week two against the 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.160 Buffalo Bills and Kyle Van Noy sprinting down the field him. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.120 You watch this play developed, he's kind of hanging out 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.400 in that hook zone, keeping down on the quarterback Josh 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.000 Allen because of how dangerous he is with his legs. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.200 Van Noy sees the past go up over his head 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.440 and he turns and runs immediately, gets all the way 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.479 downfield on that tight end on Dawson Knox and punches 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.440 that thing out from behind and stops a drive there 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.720 from the Bills before it can get started. Very good 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.400 job of hustling, getting after the play and not giving 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.200 up on a play once it gets behind you. Both 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.240 Dolphins linebackers Jerome Baker and Kyle Van Noy get into 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.280 the top ten with those hustle efforts so far. And 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.200 let's go ahead and stay there with Kyle Van Noy 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.640 on play number eight and his strip sack of Gardner 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.600 Minshew and Thursday Night's victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. As 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.240 you see Van Noy line up over the Jaguars left 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.080 guard and he's gonna work upfield, come back inside and 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.240 kind of sort of pick for Zach Seeler, and that 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.880 knocks off the Jaguars right guards. He works across the 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.400 formation and it also opens up a hole for van Noy, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.120 who closes down the quarterback and because of pressure off 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.080 the edge from Emmanuel Ogba, van Noy can get to 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.440 Minshew who steps up into the pocket right into his face, 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.320 and he gets him for the old trifecta, the old 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.719 triple play. There for Kyle van Nou the sack, the 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.400 strip and the scoop didn't quite get the score because 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.640 he had to dive on the football to get the recovery, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.760 but the Dolphins would score a few plays later on 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.920 the next offensive possession play number six so far here 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.520 in Travis's top ten. It's gonna be the past to 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.640 Mike Gisicki at the end of the first half in 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.280 the Buffalo game to set up a long Jason Sanders 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.360 field goal. The Dolphins only had a few seconds left 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.440 on the clock and only or didn't have any time 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.680 outs rather, and they threw a past to Mike Gasicki 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.200 after a nice Miles gas Can run where Kasicki gets 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.479 into the second level of the defense, Fitzpatrick has to 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.640 step up and out of round pressure, and he climbs 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.600 up the pocket and throws the ball before Ghazicky covers. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.760 From uncovers rather from the linebacker in that second level, 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.200 Kisiki makes the catch, gets upfield twenty seven yards. Dolphins 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.760 come to the line, spiked the ball and get three 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.560 points at the end of the half because of some 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.040 really nifty work from both the quarterback and tight end 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.760 Ryan Fitzpatrick and Mike Gisicky. We're gonna hear more from 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.640 them here in just one second play number five on 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.360 this season for the Miami Dolphins. How about like good 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.680 old times, an old fashioned Xaviing Howard interception on Thursday 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.599 night against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dolphins are a too deep 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.839 safety look. Brandon Jones is gonna roll back into the 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.320 single high position and Bobby McCain is looking at the 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.320 cross was coming from the other side of the formation 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.320 as he kind of sits in that little area and 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.280 allows Exaviing Howard to go one on one here up 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.360 against Chris Conley. He's impressed coverage on the outside. He 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.120 gets the inside hand jam forces Conley into the perimeter. 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.200 Up against the sideline, using that sideline as an extra defender, 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.040 and he just runs the route for him. But the 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.720 ball comes out of Gardner Minshew's hands, Chris Conley is 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.080 on the hash marks on the sideline. That's not where 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:35.640 you want to be as a receiver because you give 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.760 your quarterback a very limited window to throw that football 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.800 in there. So Howard gets him out to that area, 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.960 turns around, locates the football. By the time of the 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.040 ball gets there, he looks like he is the receiver 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.040 on the play. That play was vintage xaviing Howard and 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.480 our number five play so far on the year for 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.600 your Miami Dolphins, play number four. How about some touchdowns 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.440 we haven't covered any of those so far. Let's go 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.200 back to Buffalo the touchdown against the Buffalo Bills to 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.240 Mike get Sick from Ryan for Patrick. It's an eight 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.520 yard touchdown pass from Fitzpatrick to Gassicki and the Bills 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.600 are kind of walling off the end zone. You're gonna 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.880 have four defensive backs all up on the goal line 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.240 on this particular play trying to keep Miami out of 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.400 the end zone, and Ghasicki runs in between two of 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.040 those defenders after fighting through some trash by the way, 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.200 and we talked about this earlier in the week about 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.080 his ability to kind of fight through the contact and 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.360 get himself into position to make plays and not get 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.559 rerouted at the line of scrimmage. Here he is working 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.520 through some trash, gets into a position where he can 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.080 pivot inside and show his numbers to the quarterback. And 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.480 Fitzpatrick's kind of reading the full field, so the ball 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.640 doesn't come right at the time that he pivots to 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.000 the quarterback, but because it's a little bit late, he 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.800 has to jam that thing in there, and he throws 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:41.360 an absolutely perfect pass off the numbers of Gassicky away 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.800 from the defense. It gives Ghasicki a chance to box 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.839 out on the defensive back, reach out and make the 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:47.880 catch away from his frame as he has wanted to 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.080 do so far in his young career. A big time 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:54.080 touchdown there from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Mike Gasicki, play number three. 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.679 The touchdown on Thursday night at Jacksonville to Preston Williams 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.880 is going to be our number three play of the season. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.679 Preston Williams talked about the inside release he got on 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.600 the defensive back, the outside leverage of the defensive back 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.560 and if he's gonna give me that space inside, go 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.800 ahead and just take it. And Preston did just that. 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.079 He took the inside cheese got open and Fitzpatrick had 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.040 to throw an absolute seed like he did all night 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.240 long in that game, and he does just that, puts 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.640 the ball right on target. Again. Using the tall frames 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.040 of these bodies, the tall bodies, the long frames to 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.280 box these guys out, create opportunities for your receivers, for 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.360 your quarterback to throw that ball in there and get 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.480 the ball away from their frame so they can reach out, 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.240 box out with their body and use their hands to 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.000 catch the football. Preston Williams does just that. The ball 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.400 is right on target from Ryan Fitzpatrick. Touchdown Dolphins, and 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.040 number two on the year is gonna be another touchdown 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.719 for your Miami Dolphins. And it's gonna be a one 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.880 yard touchdown rush from Jordan Howard. And you might say, Travis, 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.440 that's not the most exciting play in the entire league. 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.839 You should expect to score from one yard out. Yeah, 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.920 maybe that's the case, But I love the way they 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.120 got these guys moved defenders off the football. You had 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.439 so many well executed blocks on this play. Really beautiful 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.480 execution from the Dolphins offensive line. Tight End and fullback 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.840 Adam Shaheen closes down the edge. Solom McKinley pulls out 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:08.680 and seals off the edge on the other side, and 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.760 then you have Chandler Cox leading that thing up there. 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.720 He wipes out of Jacksonville linebacker and Jordan Howard just 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.120 follows those guys and plows it in. Jesse Davis also 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.920 got himself involved and move some guys off the football there. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.360 So just good overall team execution. Got to give it 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.120 up to those guys for the number two play of 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.480 the year, and play number one is the touchdown pass 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.480 from Fitzpatrick to Mike get Sick. In the same game, 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.880 you might have seen Mark Scofield, who writes for USA 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.960 Today are the USA Today Wire for the NFL. He 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.520 broke this play down about how the Dolphins saw a 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.160 previous play going up against Jacksonville, up against rookie C. J. Henderson, 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.360 where they had a Cover three look the defense falling 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.880 back into deep thirds on the defense, and the Dolphins 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.360 went after that approach by running off c. J. Henderson 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.400 showing him a deep route to the post route to 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.120 Davante Parker going into the post, he takes one step 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.880 the wrong direction. You sneak Mike Gisicky right in behind 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.400 him on the out route. The ball is perfectly on target, 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.760 on time, and Gassicky makes a lunging catch because Fitzpatrick 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.920 knows he has all that space to work with with 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.920 that large catch. Radio So number one on the year 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.400 so far from my money is the throw from Ryan 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.360 Fitzpatrick to Mike Asicky. And let's go ahead and jump 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.360 now into our media availability from Tuesday. We had plenty 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.600 of action here from Chan Gailey, Danny Crossman, Josh Boyer, 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.360 Mary and Hobby, Anthony Campanelli, Austin Clark, and we also 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:24.400 had Gerald Alexander on this particular podcast and Tuesday Coaches. 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.600 Media availability is brought to you by Auto Nation, where 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.880 Dolphins fans can sell their vehicle for cash now.

Let's go 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.319 ahead and first here from Chan Gailey and go right 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.640 back to Mike Asiki, who made the number one play 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.120 of the year so far for your Miami Dolphins on 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.080 my personal top ten list. That's my list, nobody else's. 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.040 You can't take that from me. Let's go ahead and 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.280 here from Shan Gailey right here on how they create 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.720 opportunities for this Dolphins, uber athletic tight end and Mike Asicki. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:59.560 You want to create situations where he has creases in 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.360 zen owns when the zone defense, and then you want 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.880 to get him in a position where he can win 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.439 one on one because most of the time he's gonna 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.960 line up against a strong safety or a linebackers. So 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:18.280 you're trying to create as many positions um or places 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:23.319 for him to line up and to execute the things 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.800 he does best. And that is a challenge week to 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:31.680 week because defenses are different different So now we have 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.600 to we have to go out and see how the 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.839 defense is playing and then get it situated and in 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.720 some weeks it works out, in some weeks it doesn't. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.640 Gotta love chand they're kind of corroborating my talk about 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.120 Mike A. Sicki there on that particularly touchdown against the 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.840 Buffalo Bills in that zone. Look where he just finds 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.480 those creases, finds those soft spots, sets usself down and 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.800 has that big frame to throw to. But also those 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.240 situations up against man coverage where he can use the 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.880 athletic ability and speed to get vertical on guys and 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.720 win matchups that way. How about what Chan learned from 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.559 Thursday night from US offense and what they're capable of doing. 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.839 He says, confidence is the number one takeaway from that victory. Um, 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.720 I learned that, I learned this, and I thought this 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.640 all wrong, But I think the players got a better 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:23.160 sense of confidence of what we're capable of. That That's 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.560 what I wanted. I want them to come out of 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.760 that game with, is this is what we're capable of. Guys, Now, 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.440 if we go execute and we do the little things. Um, 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.760 we were capable of putting points on the board and 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.920 going down there at three straight times. There's no rule 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.640 against that. You know you can do that. So let's 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.280 let's keep that confidence level and and prepare for this 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.360 week and get ready to go to the next. Plenty 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.920 of good stuff from Chan in that press availability. He 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.240 talked a little bit about Malcolm Perry and Lynn Bowden, 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.360 Robert Hunt, Solomon Kinley, and Austin Jackson. He talked about 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.560 how they're trying to get Robert Hunt up to speed 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.880 a little bit more into the game with those extra packages, 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.600 the heavy offensive line. He has six snaps on the 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.920 offensive line so far down around the goal line. He 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.840 spoke very highly of Solomon Kiley and Austin Jackson. He 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.760 talked about two a tongue of Byaloa having one of 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.040 the greatest minds and all of football to kind of 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.760 bounce ideas off of to talk about defense, talk about protection, calls, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:20.840 all the stuff in the NFL you don't really get 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.800 in college with that complete In addition into the NFL game, 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.120 talked about a little bit of quarterback and relationship there 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.240 between Fitzpatrick and Toa. We also talked to Dolphin special 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.160 teams coordinator Danny Croftsman, let's go ahead and hear from 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.680 Crossman to hear about a couple of guys that he 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.240 thinks have stood out so far on his coverage units. 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:42.040 I think Sam has done a nice job. M I 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.240 think we've got to be more consistent as a whole. 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.280 At the Andrew Van Ginkles has shown up, um, but 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.160 I think just overall, and you look at the whole, 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.960 the Holy Unit, you know, we just got to be 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.160 more consistent and everything we do, and that's gonna come 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.160 with time. And I think you talked to any coach 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.360 and no matter what phase it is, h you know, 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.000 getting that consistent and that you know that come and 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:10.080 where we're not as much uh sort of playing the play, 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.960 we're playing the scheme, and then we're going to be 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.560 in better shape. I made that mistake again where I 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.160 was typing right into the microphones, and my apologies for that. 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.440 I did learn a few coaches into this not to 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.840 do that again. So we'll get some better audio quality 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.360 here in just one second. But Danny Crossman also had 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.560 a question about d v O Football Outsiders. D v 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.360 O A Football Outsiders has the Seahawks and Dolphins is 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.720 the number one and number two special teams ranked in 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.000 the NFL. Here's coach Crossman on what makes a special 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.400 teams unit good and in particular seattles, Well, I think 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.640 they do. They do a really nice job. You know 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.880 when you look at you know, when you look at 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.600 their special teams, I think it's a it's a it's 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.320 a small fracture of fraction of what they are as 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.080 a team and how they played the game, and they 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.800 played fast, they played physical, they're aggressive, um and they 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.960 got a good nucleus of players. Um, I think anytime 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.440 you talk about, you know, playing well in the kicking game, 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.200 that always arts with your specialists, you know, And I 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.040 think obviously you know the punters having an outstanding year 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.720 and it has the ability to flip the field when 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.960 they've been stalled backed up and put them in a 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.360 good field position going forward. And then you know they 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.160 only had to kick one field goal because of how 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.560 they're playing on offensively. But then you know they since 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.160 done a nice job with his kickoffs, get two quality 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.520 return players. And then the biggest thing, they've got a 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:25.280 nice nucleus of veteran and young core players, which when 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.280 you put that all together, it gives you an opportunity 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.800 for success. But they're they're well coached, they aggressive, It's 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.520 going to be heck of challenge. Let's go ahead and 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.480 finish us up. For the coordinators with Dolphins defensive cordinat 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.080 or Josh Boyer, who I thought just called one hell 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.360 of a game on Thursday against the Jacksonville Jaguar. Is 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.360 good mix of zone man, different fronts, different rushes. Like 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.720 Brian Flores talked about, here's Josh talking about the challenges 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.320 he has this week with a little bit of extra 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:52.120 time to prepare for Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah, 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.400 I would I would say he presents an immense challenge. Uh, 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.040 you know, and he seems to be getting better each year, 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.800 which which is hard to do because he's played at 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.520 a high level for for a long time. And uh, 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.520 you know, he's very good at reading defenses. He's very 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:12.200 good at making all the throws. H He's very good 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.560 at extending plays and making things happen that way, whether 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.879 he runs or throws. Um, it's a huge challenge. And 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.720 he's got a good cast around him. He's got a 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.400 solid old line, he's got a good group of skill players, 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:31.399 the receivers, the tight ends, his backs. And then you know, 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.159 I think, uh, you know, coach Schottenheimer does a good 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:38.320 job of mixing his play calls, and you know, he 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:42.600 could definitely dial up some calls against you know, certain fronts, 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.400 certain coverages that you know, I think, I think it's 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.760 all all rolling for him, which obviously, you know, they've 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.320 produced a lot of points in these first three weeks 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.040 in the season. We'll here coaches talk about Russell Wilson's 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.400 ability both to escape pressure with his feet and then 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.639 create plays with his arms down the field. That's the 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.800 biggest challenge this guy presents is that you never know 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:03.560 if he's gonna do it with his arm or with 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.120 his legs. He is certainly more than capable of doing 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.679 either of those things. I just we're gonna have, you know, 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.720 a profession of Russell Wilson love on this podcast, because 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.520 he's so damn talented and so damn special, and I'm 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.399 excited to watch how this defense defends them and how 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.439 they call this game against one of the best players 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.320 in the national football likee one of the best quarterbacks 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.359 of all time. Frankly for my money. Up next here 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.399 from Josh, we're gonna hear about a question that was 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.119 asked about the way he went into the season to 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.720 prepare for these three quarterbacks he faced off the top, 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.879 Cam Newton, Josh Allen, Russell Wilson, with Gardner Minshew go 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.560 Coog's sprinkled in there. A tough challenge for him to 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:38.640 the first four games of the year and the first 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.800
