<v Speaker 3>what is up?

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 2>And on today's show, the Dolphins are victorious again. We're

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 2>not a play win. We're gonna save that for the

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>regular season. And yeah it is the preseason. But I

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 2>think there was a ton to take away from this

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>game in Houston as the Dolphins win twenty eight to three.

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Going away, we'll unpack it all the game story, five takeaways,

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 2>player evals, sound from coach and Tua. All of that

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 2>and more from the Baptist Hill Studios inside the Baptist

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Health Training Complex. This is the Drive Time podcast.

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Heye Gaffe first, So how about.

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>That football game? Huh? I have my thoughts and takeaways.

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and do some numbers here and tell

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 2>you the story of the game as the Dolphins win

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight to three and just dominate in every sense

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.959
<v Speaker 2>of the word. You go down the entire stat page,

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 2>it is Dolphins across the board, twenty three first downs

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 2>to ten, three hundred and ninety eight total yards to

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 2>one eighty six one ninety three to one to fifty

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 2>four through the air, but twoh five to thirty two

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 2>on the ground. Miami ran sixty nine plays nice to

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>forty eight of the Houston Texans. They had one turnover

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 2>to not get a takeaway in the game. That kind

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 2>of surprised me. Also didn't get a sack. Houston got

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 2>two on us. And the penalties were way down except

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 2>for late in the game, six for thirty four and

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 2>I think four of those were in the second half.

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 2>So that was great to see. And top thirty eight

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>minutes and forty two seconds in this twenty eight to

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>three shmackdown of the Houston Texans. How about the efficiency.

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna lose a lot of games, or ever

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>lose a game when you go nine for fifteen on

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 2>third down, two for two on fourth down, you go

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>four for four in the red zone, and you go

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 2>one for one when your goal to go, which means

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins scored three touchdowns from the mid to high red zone,

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>which is cool to hear. Texans on the other side

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>of the football two for twelve, one third down, one

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 2>for three and fourth inefficiency and they were zero for

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>one inside the red zone. And also not gonna lose

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>many games. When you rush the ball for two hundred

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and five yards one hundred and forty of those in

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 2>the first half, you won't lose many games when you

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 2>allowed just three points as a defense and the yards

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>we mentioned with the rushing and total yard is now

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 2>didn't start very well. First play of the night is

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 2>a pick. They run a little r glance wheel flat.

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean? The glance is the quick seam

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 2>up the middle that they threw. The flat obviously is

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 2>the ball out to the short flat area and the

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 2>wheel is up the sideline, so you basically have three stressors,

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 2>two verticals, one horizontal, and it's an RPO look, which

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 2>means there's an option to hand the football off there,

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.079
<v Speaker 2>and you can tell that by the offensive lineman firing

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>off the football.

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 3>So they kind of.

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Ran this little like spam look on that where they

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 2>tried to kind of catch the Texans off guard. I think,

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 2>and Tua, I think if he hands that ball off

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have a pretty good run on the ground there.

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Because the linebacker that two was working on that play,

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>which there's always a conflict defender you work on RPO looks,

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>he just never respected the run. He continued to get

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>depth and Tua just kind of threw it right to him.

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:43.839
<v Speaker 2>And that's probably a play that if you hand off

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 2>because he's playing that far off, I believe you get

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>a big run out of that play, potentially one on

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>one in open space for aheem moster. It's a mistake,

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>you learn from it, you move on, and Tua broke

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>it down for us after the game.

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 4>It's really all it was just bad quarterback play there.

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 4>It's not how you want to start out a drive

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 4>anyway you look at it. So it's bad play, But

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.119
<v Speaker 4>like I said, I'm glad with the way we responded

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 4>because the next series, you know, things were still jarred

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 4>up when with the first two plays, and then we

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.919
<v Speaker 4>got into third down and things started to settle and

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 4>we found out rhythm in the game.

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 2>But how about the way to responded. Coach McDaniel liked

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 2>it quite a lot.

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I told him before the game, you know,

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't expect him to play that long, but if

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>if adversity comes our way, to seize it. And he

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>he he took it extremely literal, So you know, to me,

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>it's like, all right, perfect, what are you gonna do?

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think it was so valuable because it

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>was the first play, and you know, he came back

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>as I would expect, but the rep he had already

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>put himself there before what happens when that happens. It

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>was on a play that he's had a lot of

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>success with and he threw a pick, So we got

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>behind the sticks and I think we had like a

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>fourteen or fifteen play drive that was critical on three

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.280
<v Speaker 1>or four third downs on it. So that's that is

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>exactly what preseason's for. That's why you want somebody to play.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad he got it out of the way, but

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 1>more importantly, the team didn't blink. The team had a

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>pretty short field to defend, right, And what a momentum

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>swing that is when when your defense can come up

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and not bat and I hold a team for to

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>not have points and then progressed from there. So I

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>was happy with the way the team responded to that.

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 2>And really from there it was a super clean operation

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 2>twenty one first half points that began with a ninety

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 2>three yard four team play scoring march, and you really

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.679
<v Speaker 2>got everything you could have wanted. Dominant trench play, efficient passing,

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful ball from Tua to Barrios, thread the needle

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 2>for a big completion down in the red zone when

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 2>things get tight. And speaking of Braxton, is he a

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 2>guy who's just going to come up with big grab

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.719
<v Speaker 2>after big grab or what? You know? Seth and OJ

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 2>loved the signing and I was like, I don't know,

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a pump returner, but I was wrong. Man,

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 2>He's a good receiver, very very good receiver. I love

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the way he came back to the football when Skyler

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 2>had that touchdown pass. He just kind of worked back

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 2>on a broken play and got himself back in shape

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>for a good play, and it turned out to be

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 2>a six point play for Miami pretty easily with the

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>cornerback falling off. But back to Tua. I loved this

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.239
<v Speaker 2>comment from Coach at the end of his presser on Tua,

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 2>who continues here at age twenty five now to just

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 2>look so much more comfortable in everything he's doing that

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 2>we've ever seen him before.

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I think he's finding himself as a man, and he's

0:06:55.680 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>doing it alongside teammates. And I think that that this

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, when when you're been doing something for that long,

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>you're just enjoying the process day and day out. You know,

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>he's he is so comfortable in his skin, and so

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>his as for life is so strong now as a

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>father and a husband and a quarterback, and he is enjoying.

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's worried about the right stuff, like you

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>throw a pick first play that's not ideal, but you

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>focus on okay, Well, most people, you know might let

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that linger and have an effect on how you approach

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>everything else. As a competitor, I'm going to try to

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>not have that be the case. And I think all

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>that fits within him and his development and where he's at.

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'm excited to see him every day. And he's

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>got a really cool new tattoo, so that's cool too.

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 2>And this was to us first game since Christmas. I

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 2>thought his comments here about how it felt to get

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 2>back out there and before the game even was pretty

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>cool to hear. Here's QB one.

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 3>It's awesome, man.

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 4>You get all the feelings that you normally feel of

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 4>getting back out there again, butterflies, you know, anxious to

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 4>get out there, all these thoughts going through your head.

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 4>But I thought it felt really good being able to

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 4>go out there, call plays with the guys, the camaraderie

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 4>in the huddle. You know, things didn't go our way.

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Adversity hit and it was cool to see the guys respond.

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>We also got some injury updates from coach McDaniel said

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.200
<v Speaker 2>that Toront Armstead's doing well. They feel optimistic that he

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 2>avoided anything substantial in terms of a timeline. They will

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 2>find that out, but it sounds like he is trending

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.199
<v Speaker 2>towards coming back sooner rather than later. Devon a Chain

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 2>left with a shoulder injury. They're going to find out

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.559
<v Speaker 2>more tomorrow and same with Rob Jones, who you saw

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 2>limp off into the tunnel with a lower extremity injury

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 2>per Mike McDaniel. And they'll find out more on that tomorrow. Actually,

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 2>before we get to the break here, I was gonna

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>take a break after that. I thought this says a

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 2>lot about coach when he was asked about Lester Cotton

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 2>not playing in the game. I want to go ahead

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and play this sound for you because I think this

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 2>is pretty rare across a landscape and a profession where

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe there's not so much personable relationships out there.

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he he had something minor. He probably.

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Like if if we were like I mean, he wanted

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>to go, but I didn't think it was fair to

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:35.839
<v Speaker 1>him to gut through something and put some some.

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 3>The potential of having a tape put out there that's

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.680
<v Speaker 3>not a reflection of how he's been playing. So he

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 3>held him out. But he he.

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>He wants to get on the field in the worst way,

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 1>and we'll be excited for that.

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 2>That's of course about offensive lineman Lester Cotton, who how

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.719
<v Speaker 2>cool is that? I mean oj I mentioned this to

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 2>oj in the post game, and he was just kind

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 2>of marveling over how much Mike gets it. Coach McDaniel

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 2>understands it and understands the players and has his finger

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 2>on the pulse of his locker room. And you know,

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I was talking to OJ about and I said like, yeah,

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 2>he's got you know, the practice tape is there for

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins, but nobody else in the league has tape

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>on cotton besides the one game last week. And you

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 2>put him out there tonight and he goes out there

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.839
<v Speaker 2>and doesn't play well because he's too banged up. All

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, they've got one bad tape and one

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 2>good tape in preseason football and that's all they get

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>of him. So very cool, I think of coach to

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>do that for a player. I think that just speaks

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 2>to the commitment he has to the guys and the

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 2>type of person that he is beyond just being a

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 2>football coach, a good human being. I believe that's what

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Mike McDaniel is. All Right, go ahead and take a

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 2>break right there, and we're gonna come back to the

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 2>nitty gritty, the meat of the episode, the five takeaways

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 2>from the game from Your Boy That's Next Drivetime podcast

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 2>your host Travis Wingfield, Brought to you by Auto Nation.

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.319
<v Speaker 2>Five takeaways from a Dolphins twenty eight to three victory

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 2>in the preseason over the Houston Texans, And we start

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.559
<v Speaker 2>here with number one. After a bad start, the offense

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 2>gets rolling and the entire unit shows a bad full

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.719
<v Speaker 2>of many clubs. What do I mean by that, We'll

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>talk about it here in just a second. And that

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 2>was really true for both quarterbacks, you know, bad starting

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 2>drives to open the game, then coming back and really

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 2>just taking the game by the horns from there at

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback play, and really the offense having you know,

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 2>more clubs in its bag. That's been kind of a

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 2>point I've been harping on all off season, and I

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 2>think we've seen it in both weeks so far of

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the preseason. Yes, last week we did not have the

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 2>results at the end of drives zero for three in

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 2>the red zone, but we saw the run game go

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.439
<v Speaker 2>for that one to twenty nine in the first half

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 2>in defense really clamping down until a big punt return

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 2>and a turnover with your back against the red zone

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 2>that basically produced fourteen street points for the Falcons. We

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 2>know this offense has explosives, right, we know what Tyreek

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Hill and Jaln Waddle can do. Just got a very

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 2>brief glimpse at one of those guys tonight in the

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 2>game No Waddle. We know this offense can destroy teams

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of the field, especially in that intermediate portion,

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.840
<v Speaker 2>and attack, you know, really vertically don the scene. And

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>we've seen these two weeks, they've shown the running game

0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.440
<v Speaker 2>that coach McDaniel, Frank Smith, Butch Barry erics Studisville. They

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.839
<v Speaker 2>have all crafted together the run game that we've all

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 2>desired as fans since hiring one of the game's pre

0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 2>eminent run game coordinators and Mike McDaniel. And it's not

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 2>like last year the efficiency was bad, they just didn't

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 2>have the volume. In fact, Lewis Riddick of ESPN tweeted this,

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>and this is a guy that I really take what

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 2>he says. I really I take it to the bank. Essentially,

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.320
<v Speaker 2>he says this, if the Dolphins will run the ball

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 2>with this kind of effectiveness in the regular season, lookout

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>and then and then that seems kind of innocuous, right

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.839
<v Speaker 2>and obvious. Yeah, But the follow up was to a

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 2>fan who wrote back to him like, there's just the

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 2>pre serison and always gives me a kick. When someone

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 2>said that to a person like Lewis who like he

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>doesn't understand the value of preseason football, or you know

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>what comes along with it, the stipulations that come along

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 2>with it, he said to that fan. Nobody over here

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>is overreacting to anything. I've been involved with the league

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. Now I know what it is

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 2>and what it isn't. I know how this offense looked

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 2>last year when they had the run game going and

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.439
<v Speaker 2>when they committed to it, versus when they did not.

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 2>I have made this comment so many times in the past,

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 2>and I'm certain that my top takeaway after the Browns

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 2>win last year was the exact same, but the ability

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.319
<v Speaker 2>to win games in different ways. You're not going to

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 2>have your fastball, curveball and slider and every single game,

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 2>every single Sunday, it's not gonna happen. But can you

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.839
<v Speaker 2>get batters out with that slider? Can you get guys

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 2>out with your curveball? We know we can destroy teams

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.679
<v Speaker 2>again in the middle of the field, but tonight we

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 2>saw the speedouts work to convert third downs twice. How

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 2>many times have I talked about in the podcast how

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 2>the offense and training camp has put themselves in position

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 2>to expand upon the things that defenses have took away

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.439
<v Speaker 2>from them a year ago, when the offense struggled the

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 2>quick game, the outside game, the screen game, the wheels

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.800
<v Speaker 2>to running backs up the sidelines, finding comebacks to your

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>star receivers after they press cornerbacks off with their speed.

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 2>They had the one speed out to Tyreek, that two

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 2>way go and that slot position for Tyreek like they

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 2>were playing single high coverage on that and it looked

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 2>like I'm thinking they might take the shot up top,

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.520
<v Speaker 2>but no, don't risk it on a third down conversion

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 2>where you can possibly give the ball back to the

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.960
<v Speaker 2>opposing offense and put your defense back in a bad spot.

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Get the first downsion, get a fresh out of downs,

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 2>and go back to work. Also, how good was Tyreek

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 2>on limited work? He is just he's the best am

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>receiver in the game. That's not even close to me.

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 2>And then the one to Burrios very similar throwing. I

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 2>think that was from Skyler on a speed out. They

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 2>had a couple of quick shots as well as the

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Cedric Wilson. If I'm not mistaken on an out route,

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.679
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong there, but we saw swings to

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 2>the backs on the perimeter against you know, manufactured one

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 2>on one chances. I love Savon Achmed, but if you

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 2>have Wattle Hill, you know, chosen running vertical routes, who's

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>the guy that's gonna get single covered by a linebacker

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 2>or a safety, It's gonna be Savon Akman. He's gonna

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 2>have that to the either the boundary, probably not the

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 2>passing strength to the field, but he had one to

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 2>the boundary. Here you throw out twohim in space. He

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 2>slips a tackle on a one on one situation and

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>he goes into the end zone. On the other one,

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 2>he breaks a tackle on third down and goes for

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 2>like fifteen yards in a first down. We saw Chris

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Brooks weave his way through blockers and minimal traffic because again,

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 2>you threw away from the passing strength on a screen

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 2>that put him in position to hit a couple of

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 2>blocks and weave his way through for a touchdown. I

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 2>see an offense that has solutions to what teams might

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 2>do to take away the perceived strengths of the offense.

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 2>That's what the entire off season was about to meet.

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Braxon Burrios fits that mold the running backs in the

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 2>passing game, with most are getting better with a chain

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 2>coming into the fold, with Braxon Barrios coming here. Chosen

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 2>all these guys, I think give you a particular fit

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 2>in a role to things you didn't do well last

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 2>year because you know what you have into a tyrek

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and waddle. I see an offense that we know from

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>a year ago can strike fast. I saw an offense

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>to night that could piece together a fourteen play touchdown

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>drive that covers ninety three yards. I saw an offense

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 2>that executed the red zone third down and always knew

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>the plan had a largely clean operation from a pre

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>snap and getting out of the uddle with like fifteen

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 2>seconds to go, manufactured clean pockets when they weren't just

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.440
<v Speaker 2>kicking people's butts one on ones at the point of attack,

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 2>like those rolling pockets or the slide protection. That's the

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of stuff that I keep telling you guys about

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna get in training camp. Like, yes, when

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Phillips beats James Tunstall in a training camp practice,

0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 2>it might look bad. That's very well, what's gonna look like.

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 2>But you're not gonna get those one on one top

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 2>chances in games. That's just not how this game works,

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>and this coach last year really did a good job

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>of creating clean pockets for Tua over and over again,

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 2>regardless of the personnel. That's my main driving point here

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 2>is they just games are not like practice in that sense, man.

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 2>And with that, with the ability to do all that,

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 2>a defense that looks the part, and suddenly now you've

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 2>got multiple routes to victory. If you can sustain that,

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 2>if that's who you are, you're going to be tough

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 2>to beat weekend and week out and hopefully into January

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 2>and into February. Because I keep thinking about this team,

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 2>as you know, the best team that I ever saw

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 2>at that was like the twenty seventeen Saints, and I

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.560
<v Speaker 2>know they didn't go all the way to the super Bowl,

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 2>but the way that they relied upon Drew Brees when

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 2>they needed him, and he wasn't necessarily still the same

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Drew Brees from two thousand and six, but when they

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 2>needed him late in games, they would go to him

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 2>because they had the running game, because they had the defense,

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 2>they could lean on and win games that way and

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of play a conservative and then go back to

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Brees when they needed him. Now Miami has much more high,

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 2>high powered offense that can takeover games that way too.

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:03.920
<v Speaker 2>But that sounds even better to me if you can

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 2>run the ball and play defense. Takeaway number two is

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the running backs and the offensive line producing individuals and

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 2>up performances. And they were across the board. Man, everyone

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 2>had a good game. It seemed like Raheem and Savan

0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.560
<v Speaker 2>had big plays on that second drive. Devon Achan had

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 2>that big twenty yard run on third and fourteen where

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 2>he just hit it. There was no messing around. I'm

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 2>just gonna go get this first down. Savonn had a

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 2>couple of big runs after that, like a twelve and

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 2>an eight yard run. You were getting constant push seals, climbs,

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.159
<v Speaker 2>guys out in space hitting key blocks. Thought Austin Jackson

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 2>had a great block out in space where he did

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.199
<v Speaker 2>go to the ground, but he wiped somebody out. I

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.600
<v Speaker 2>thought I saw the same thing with Connor Williams, with

0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Rob Jones, Rob Hunt. So many guys had key, key

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.719
<v Speaker 2>blocks on big runs. I think butch Berry might be

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 2>onto something here. Man. The offensive line has talked about

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.679
<v Speaker 2>how he explained he knows what he wants, and he

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 2>explains it isn't that kind of an indictment of previous

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 2>teaching techniques and tells you how just giving these guys

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 2>a similar look, a similar teaching technique, and we see

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 2>it in practice all the time. They're taught differently this year,

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's clicking better on the offensive line.

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.439
<v Speaker 2>So coaching improved depth and talent across the offensive line.

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.439
<v Speaker 2>I know y'all are worried about it. I'm frankly I'm not.

0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not because Chris career is not Mike McDaniel's not.

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.639
<v Speaker 2>If you keep two and this offense and second and

0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 2>third and short, good luck, good freaking luck. You can

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 2>take even more shots, you can sustain even more drives,

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.520
<v Speaker 2>you can rest your defense more and just win more games.

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 2>That's the bottom line of it all. Savon Auchman had

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 2>that third down catch in the red zone. Then he

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 2>goes off for sixty five yards where again hits. It

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.720
<v Speaker 2>just goes explosive play. Chris Brooks had a great night, decisive, powerful,

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.480
<v Speaker 2>good moves in space on that screenplay. How about the

0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 2>blocking on that too. I thought River Craycraft was exceptional

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 2>in the downfield blocking game. Guys like that, blocks like

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 2>that turned fifteen yard runs into sixty five yard runs.

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Julian Hill was exceptional in the blocking game tonight. They

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 2>ran for the most yards and a half for the

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins in a preseason game last week at one twenty

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.760
<v Speaker 2>nine since at least two thousand and top it in

0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.119
<v Speaker 2>this game with one forty one in the first half.

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.240
<v Speaker 2>They finished with two hundred and five yards at five

0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:07.879
<v Speaker 2>point four yards a clip. It was over six yards

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 2>per carry it before a couple of negative and runs

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 2>for no gain at the very end of the game.

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 2>But the individual stats here twelve for ninety nine for

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Savon Akhmed, and coach said after the game that sa

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 2>is a consummate pro who focuses on the right things.

0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.199
<v Speaker 2>You had Chris Brooks go eleven for forty seven. You

0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 2>had Raheem Mostert, how good did he look? Six for

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 2>thirty and tavan A chained six for twenty seven. Four

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 2>point three was your lowest among individual averages in this game.

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.199
<v Speaker 2>You also had Akhmed four for thirty two in the

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 2>receiving game and a touchdown, and Brooks won for eighteen

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 2>and a touchdown in the receiving game. Let's go ahead

0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 2>and hear from coach on the running game performance on Saturday.

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think there's a lot of individual effort.

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 1>There's a you know, inches in the game of football,

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:54.959
<v Speaker 1>and especially with a penetrating front like Houston has, you

0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:56.679
<v Speaker 1>have to be on your p's and q's. A lot

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 1>of people have to execute things and then people have

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 1>to make plays when the opportunity is there. So I

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>think the starting with the offensive line, that tight end

0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 1>group and the receivers all blocks and we had some

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:13.439
<v Speaker 1>ball carriers make some plays in tight windows, and you

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:17.199
<v Speaker 1>know that's it's cool for guys to get rewarded for

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:21.280
<v Speaker 1>all the work that goes on unseen, and.

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Can we give some more love to the offensive line

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.520
<v Speaker 2>and just talk about how we had like twelve guys

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.920
<v Speaker 2>that had standout performances. On that Raheem touchdown run, You've

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 2>got a perfectly executed play where Isaiah Winn holds up

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.920
<v Speaker 2>his man and that allows Kendall Lamb to crash down

0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and erase him. You get a seal from Connor Williams,

0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Croft pins his man inside and then Durham spythe

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 2>in twelve personnel package, has a tough ask where he

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 2>comes across in motion and peels back to seal that

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.879
<v Speaker 2>backside edge, or I should say front side edge, easy

0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 2>touchdown for Raheem to just waltz into the end zone.

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:53.880
<v Speaker 2>And he looked fast and shifty as hell, like I've

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 2>been saying. I thought that combination of Lynn Win Lamb,

0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Lynn Lamb Win, Williams Hunt Jackson was all fantastic. I'll

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:03.639
<v Speaker 2>watch the game again and give you more notes on

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 2>the next podcast, But I harken back to coach saying

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.120
<v Speaker 2>the comment about how he'd be worried if we didn't

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 2>feel we had NFL linemen at those backup spots. And again,

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:13.639
<v Speaker 2>go on Twitter right now and you're gonna see thirty

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 2>two fan bases, thirty two reporters worried about the depth

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.159
<v Speaker 2>of their offensive line. There's just not that much of

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.639
<v Speaker 2>it out there. But tonight, once you got past that

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:23.760
<v Speaker 2>front line, it was more of the same. I thought

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Cedric a boy, he was good. I thought Dan Feeney

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.200
<v Speaker 2>was good. I thought the whole damn team was good.

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Man Number three defensive structure and performance. I love the

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 2>way this defense is designed. But you already probably knew

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.640
<v Speaker 2>that because Vic Fangio does this for his entire life.

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 2>He's done this, He's done a great job of playing

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 2>good zone defense with light boxes where you kind of

0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.640
<v Speaker 2>sometimes occasionally blitz, but you get eyes in the quarterback

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 2>and you drive downhill. You put the quarterback in peril,

0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 2>and you take away the top option, make them get

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to their backside read. And then by that time you

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>have pressure and all of a sudden you get hands

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.200
<v Speaker 2>on footballs. You get takeaway opportunities, so many takeaway opportunities

0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.000
<v Speaker 2>in this game. But the Dolphins did not execute or

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I should say, finish on the catches or take advantage

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 2>of those balls that pop up into the air. X's

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 2>pass breakup was like vintage X. Just squat, drive and

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 2>make a play on the football. He was moving towards

0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:11.439
<v Speaker 2>the ball before the receiver even has head back to

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the ball. Eli Apple had a fantastic game. He was

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:15.800
<v Speaker 2>right there on one. I don't know how the ball

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 2>was caught when he was tackled quickly for like a

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 2>two yard gain. Had another pass break up later on.

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 2>I saw Elijah Campbell ditch his man and peel back

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 2>to a different route, and damn near I get himself

0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:27.919
<v Speaker 2>a pick. Now he was flagged for legal contact with

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:30.879
<v Speaker 2>the process of how this defense is being executed was

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 2>all there. Bryce Thompson was there flowing all over the

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 2>end of the defense with a handful of plays. The

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 2>rushers are coming from everywhere, whether it was Bake or

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:41.399
<v Speaker 2>Duke or Channing. I just feel like they have a

0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 2>way of beating you with physicality up front of the

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 2>defensive line and then utilizing all the speed you have

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:48.960
<v Speaker 2>at linebacker to fill lanes and again to expite the

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks read process and thought process to really confuse them

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and force them into poor choices where they fill lanes

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 2>with these fast linebackers and just clog things up, which

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.400
<v Speaker 2>again all of a sudd and making the quarterback hot.

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 2>With DB's having eyes on quarterbacks, if you make a mistake,

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:07.080
<v Speaker 2>you're going down and they're driving on the football to

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 2>either take it away, you know, break it up, or

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 2>at a minimum, just cut down the receiver after minimal

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 2>or no yak at all. Coach McDaniel discussed the defense

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:17.120
<v Speaker 2>after the game, and I thought there was a great

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 2>tidbit in there that has been a theme in talking

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 2>to players all camp long, the attention to detail and

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:25.399
<v Speaker 2>the way it's communicated. We got a full glimpse of

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>that on Saturday.

0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it's held true to what they with their collectively,

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the coaching staff headed by Vic and you know, the

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:42.120
<v Speaker 1>defense in general as a group of people. They want

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.959
<v Speaker 1>to continue to progress and get better. Uh, there's a

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, big part of playing defense that as a team.

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 1>We talked about a ton That is, you know, the

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 1>yards are cool, but they have to get in the

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:57.879
<v Speaker 1>end zone. And being that mindset is kind of, you know,

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:02.480
<v Speaker 1>very similar to to to that of the team's mindset

0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 1>with adversity, like sometimes you'll give stuff up, don't worry

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:11.480
<v Speaker 1>about it. You finish, they don't. That's what you're trying

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to get done. And yeah, it's it's always fun when

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 1>you know defensive units are getting better in a real way,

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.639
<v Speaker 1>not because of anything but their details, their technique and

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 1>their fundamentals.

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:30.800
<v Speaker 2>And again back to this depth idea. This is not

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:32.880
<v Speaker 2>on the defense or on the offensive line, but rather

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:36.640
<v Speaker 2>the defensive side obviously. But I keep seeing these tweets

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 2>or takes about how thin this unit is and I'm

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:41.720
<v Speaker 2>just not seeing that at all, like at all. David Long,

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 2>how good was he? That's what we've been seeing from

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:45.520
<v Speaker 2>him in camp. By the way, Seth and OJ kind

0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 2>of dap me up a little bit for how much

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I praised his game this offseason and to see it

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:51.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of come to fruition already in preseason game number

0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 2>one and then see him play like that and his

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 2>first action was just an absolute thing of beauty. Duke

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.159
<v Speaker 2>and Channing, I think those are two damn good football players.

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:01.560
<v Speaker 2>We saw Van Ginkle we'll start the game off the edge,

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:03.720
<v Speaker 2>then kicked back to off ball and played well there

0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:06.720
<v Speaker 2>all those plays by long that's without Christian Wilkins in

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 2>front of him doing Christian Wilkins things. I think the

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 2>teeth of that defense is gonna be one of the

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:13.000
<v Speaker 2>best in the league. I really really do. And we've

0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:16.119
<v Speaker 2>already seen the depth at dB tested right yet Eli

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:18.080
<v Speaker 2>apples out there making all kinds of plays. How good

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:20.919
<v Speaker 2>was forty nine Perry Nickerson? By the way, Kyle Krabs

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:23.360
<v Speaker 2>locked on Dolphins was fired about him, and I can

0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:25.680
<v Speaker 2>see why he's got some good tape for us already.

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 2>I thought Ignoghny was in good shape on that completion

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:30.840
<v Speaker 2>he allowed, and so was Cater on another like little

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:33.360
<v Speaker 2>levels concept running on a boot leg from CJ. Stroud,

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 2>who showed you on those throws why he was the

0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 2>number two pick in the draft, very accurate, good placement.

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 2>I thought Noah was a tick late out of his

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:42.280
<v Speaker 2>back pedal and got depth when he should have drove,

0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 2>and that was all it took for Stroud's placement to

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:46.199
<v Speaker 2>put the ball away from him so he couldn't make

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:48.200
<v Speaker 2>a play. But I come away thinking he's a stock

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:50.119
<v Speaker 2>up guy in this game too. We'll do some more

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:52.080
<v Speaker 2>of these in the final second. But man, at one

0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:54.959
<v Speaker 2>point it was seven drives, seven first downs, just three points,

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>and they had drive start at the plus nine yard

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 2>line in the minus forty two yard line. It ended

0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:01.600
<v Speaker 2>with three points allowed, the lowest in a preseason game

0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:04.360
<v Speaker 2>for the Dolphins since twenty thirteen. One hundred and eighty

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:06.400
<v Speaker 2>six yards was the lowest allowed in a preseason game

0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:09.320
<v Speaker 2>since twenty eighteen. Same year for the ten first downs,

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 2>lowest amount allowed in a preseason game since that game

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 2>against the Falcons, and then thirty two rush yards in

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 2>a preseason game, the lowest allowed since twenty seventeen. What

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:19.840
<v Speaker 2>a showing for Vic Fangio's side. Let's go ahead and

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 2>take our last break right there and come back on

0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the other side and talk about takeaways four and five

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 2>and do some more player evals all of that's next

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 2>by automation. Takeaway number four from dolphins twenty eight to

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 2>three preseason victory over the Houston Texans that Skyler had

0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 2>himself a pretty big surge in the competition for the

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 2>backup quarterback position with a fifteen for twenty two, one

0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:48.159
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty seven yard, three touchdown performance. He was

0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 2>sacked just once and had a one to twenty eight

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:52.679
<v Speaker 2>point two passer rating. I thought his best ball was

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.640
<v Speaker 2>the incompletion of Hedrick Wilson, A tough play for him

0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:57.399
<v Speaker 2>with good coverage, but I thought that ball was right

0:26:57.400 --> 0:26:59.159
<v Speaker 2>where it needed to be. I like the way he

0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 2>played off script. I think this is the best part

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:04.440
<v Speaker 2>the operation. Let's go ahead and hear from coach McDaniel

0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.240
<v Speaker 2>on just that Scalar's operation under center.

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I thought Skyler uh did a did a great job

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:16.640
<v Speaker 1>handling everything. He you know, that's what you want to see,

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:20.359
<v Speaker 1>is you want to see from him. There was the

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 1>how fast he was getting in and out of the huddle,

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you can tell was an emphasis from him as well

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>as it was for me and and he he he

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:35.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't get bogged down with the play. There's some plays

0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:38.560
<v Speaker 1>that he went back, but then he continued to press

0:27:38.640 --> 0:27:42.359
<v Speaker 1>forward and uh and and try to make some plays.

0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think he did a great job of that,

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 1>some on schedule, some off schedule, and the key will

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.360
<v Speaker 1>be to go watch the tape and get better from

0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:53.359
<v Speaker 1>that moving forward.

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 2>I still think it's it's Mike White at QB two

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:58.160
<v Speaker 2>just based upon the body of work, but I think

0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:01.399
<v Speaker 2>Scaler has shown improvement in some key air takeaway Number

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:04.119
<v Speaker 2>five are the youngsters who continue to make you excited

0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:07.399
<v Speaker 2>about rounding out this roster to pair with what I

0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:09.879
<v Speaker 2>continue to see called a top heavy roster. Again, I

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 2>just don't see that, but that's because I believe that

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these guys give you opportunity to keep

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:18.480
<v Speaker 2>you flexible in the future. Interesting irons in the fire

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.560
<v Speaker 2>with regards to guys who could a produce for the

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 2>club this year, B provide valuable depth and special teams

0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 2>contributions while they continue to develop for future roles, kind

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:28.879
<v Speaker 2>of like a Chaining Tindal a year ago or Eric

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 2>azou coom up. Potentially they're in allowing for more roster flexibility.

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 2>You find a future hit in year two or three

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:37.000
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, you've got that thirty one year

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 2>old VET who had a down year. Maybe you can

0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 2>say goodbye to that player and promote a young player

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 2>who's much cheaper and give you more future resources. That's

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 2>how this thing works. You have to have constant thought

0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 2>of foresight to plan for what could happen in the future,

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:52.320
<v Speaker 2>and then of course option to see develop on the

0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 2>practice squad. You know, Devon a Chain looks like a

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 2>hit right the way he's physical, the way he drops

0:28:57.360 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 2>his shoulders and pushes the pile. Can't believe he's one

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight. He is very, very physical in the way

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 2>he runs. Shang Tindall I thought had a fantastic game.

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Rob Jones. Unfortunately he got hurt, but he's had a

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 2>really good camp so far. You know, Skyler's big game.

0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Chris Brooks, Ryan Hayes. I thought I had a good game.

0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Mitchell Lagode, Cameron good I think looks really good off

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the edge. I think there are more than fifty three

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 2>players NFL players on this roster right now. Might we

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 2>lose some of those guys to someone else, Yeah, probably,

0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 2>but that also could give us a nice little additional

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 2>depth on the practice squad when that cutdown day comes,

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 2>if you can survive some of those guys. So some

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:32.960
<v Speaker 2>of the guys I want to talk about. I mentioned

0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:36.200
<v Speaker 2>the youngsters there, but again thought two after the pick

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 2>was super sharp, super accurate, just really in command of

0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 2>the operation at quarterback Skyler's same situation. A couple of

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 2>throws that were off, but for the most part, really

0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 2>put the ball in good position and made a lot

0:29:47.080 --> 0:29:49.600
<v Speaker 2>of plays off script. The entire running back room. You know,

0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 2>moster are a chain Acmeden Brooks. Just what else can

0:29:52.360 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 2>you say? Those guys are fantastic. I mentioned Tyreek a

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:56.960
<v Speaker 2>little bit, just seeing him get out there and have

0:29:57.000 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 2>a chance to run around and make a couple of

0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:01.680
<v Speaker 2>plays and just the stress puts on defense. This is so obvious.

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 2>River Craycraft big catch for a first down and a

0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 2>third down, the blocking downfield never goes unnoticed. He has

0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:09.320
<v Speaker 2>a spot in this roster. As far as I'm concerned,

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I think Braxon Barrows is a damn good football player

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:13.640
<v Speaker 2>who just is going to eat in those one on

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:16.440
<v Speaker 2>one opportunities. Saw some of that tonight. Durham Smith had

0:30:16.480 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 2>a really good showing in this game, blocking, creating lanes

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:20.720
<v Speaker 2>in the running game. If he continues to get better,

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 2>that could be a huge help to that room. I

0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:25.480
<v Speaker 2>mentioned Julian Hill. I thought he was fantastic in this game,

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 2>catching the football and blocking. I listened pretty much the

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:31.880
<v Speaker 2>entire offensive line. I loved Austin's game, lamb Win Connor,

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 2>the two Robs, Feenie Away, he like, just good stuff

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:38.560
<v Speaker 2>across the board. Seiler was physical upfront. They've they did

0:30:38.560 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 2>some creative stuff up front with that down lineman, kind

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 2>of moving those guys across the board. Thought Raque had

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 2>some some good reps as well, crashing down and you know,

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:48.840
<v Speaker 2>going with the flow of the run blocking game to

0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:51.880
<v Speaker 2>get some stops. Thought Emmanuel Ogbass set hard edges and

0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:54.520
<v Speaker 2>played really strong off the edge. I mentioned Long. I

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:56.680
<v Speaker 2>thought Jerome Baker showed you his speed on a couple

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 2>of plays. I think those two guys are gonna fit

0:30:58.440 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 2>together very well. Mentioned the pass breakup and just the

0:31:01.160 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 2>overall play by X. Thought Eli Apple was fantastic. Mentioned

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Thompson, a guy that I've been pretty high on

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 2>so far through camp. Elijah had that really good play,

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 2>but I think got the penalty on the play, so

0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 2>is it a good play? I guess not, but you

0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:15.479
<v Speaker 2>can see kind of the awareness and where he's kind

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:17.840
<v Speaker 2>of earned himself some playing time so far. I want

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 2>to put a bookend on the show with this because

0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I've been talking about it all camp long. I want

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:24.520
<v Speaker 2>to hear coach talk about how he calls preseason games,

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 2>as it tracks with the theme we've been carrying here

0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 2>on draft time for a minute about how I mentioned

0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:31.680
<v Speaker 2>it already. It's not the same as a game, Like

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 2>listen to the way he talks about preseason how you're

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:36.480
<v Speaker 2>not scheming, you're not really having a plan for that team.

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Here's coach McDaniel.

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, I just think you have to balance opportunities, and

0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>there's so many compounding variables with opportunities. So you know,

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you get playing time, but who who are the eligibles?

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 3>Who's the offensive line?

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 1>You want it to be settled on the field, and

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't just go into game performance. It's game performance

0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 1>on things that you know, there's a lot of times

0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm calling place for them less like concerned about the

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:14.200
<v Speaker 1>defense and like, hey we wrapped this play.

0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:15.360
