Speaker 1: Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. Now let me check
Speaker 1: your pulse if you're not far of what is up? Dolphins?
Speaker 2: And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, Miami Dolphins podcast network,
Speaker 2: your team, your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: How's it going? I am your host, Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 2: And if you can't tell by the expedited intro on
Speaker 2: today's show, I'm fired the hell up?
Speaker 1: Turn the page.
Speaker 2: Wednesday brings about a game that's been looming in the
Speaker 2: back of your mind for a few weeks. We go
Speaker 2: up to Philadelphia for a primetime test with the defending
Speaker 2: NFC champions. We're gonna break it all down, beginning with
Speaker 2: some background on the Philadelphia Eagles. The key storylines the
Speaker 2: tail of the tape on either side of the ball.
Speaker 2: I watched five Eagles games to get ready for this one.
Speaker 2: I am very very excited. Plus the three keys of
Speaker 2: victory and my prediction from the Baptist Health Studios inside
Speaker 2: the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1: This is the Draft Time Podcast Maggie Daffy.
Speaker 2: On to Philly, the best primetime matchup of the season.
Speaker 2: In fact, it's the first time two teams at five
Speaker 2: and one or better have met on Sunday Night football
Speaker 2: since twenty fifteen, and the storylines they are rich. We'll
Speaker 2: get into those in a moment. Chili Night in Philly, Chili, Philly.
Speaker 2: Temperatures around forty degrees sixty one during the day with
Speaker 2: clear skies and wins around ten miles per hour. Sounds
Speaker 2: like a beautiful night for football. And the weather down
Speaker 2: here is actually cooperating. It's been a beautiful seventy five
Speaker 2: degrees with a slight breeze. All the rhymes are coming
Speaker 2: in on time today and that's supposed to continue throughout
Speaker 2: the week. We get a low of fifty eight degrees tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm excited about that. Let's get to know these Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2: We had a videographer here a couple of years ago
Speaker 2: who grew up in the Philly area. Miss you, Trey.
Speaker 2: Hope you're doing well up there again, sir. I'll never
Speaker 2: forget sitting with him sometimes while he was watching highlights
Speaker 2: on Mondays of the Eagles games because he was shooting
Speaker 2: Dolphins games and couldn't watch his hometown Eagles, and just
Speaker 2: talking some shop with him. And I'll never forget. There
Speaker 2: was a game against the Giants in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 2: right before they had kind of started their run to
Speaker 2: make the playoffs that season, and before eventually getting bounced
Speaker 2: by Braiding the Bucks and a lop sided a playoff
Speaker 2: game over in Tampa Bay. But they were building to
Speaker 2: the team they have now that season, and it started
Speaker 2: with the immersions of quarterback Jalen Hurts, a star second
Speaker 2: round draft pick in twenty twenty the same class as
Speaker 2: to Hurts is one of four bona fide franchise quarterbacks
Speaker 2: from that class, in one of two to.
Speaker 1: Reach the big game. And man, he is tough, tough
Speaker 1: to defend.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that more in a moment, but the
Speaker 2: identity of the football team is built around Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2: Tough physical, grind you to a pulp in the running game,
Speaker 2: outwork you hell. The fact that he's a powerlifter allows
Speaker 2: them to run the most unstoppable short yards play in
Speaker 2: the history of the game in the Brotherly Shove, which
Speaker 2: that's the name I go with. The toush push is
Speaker 2: not cool, but they started building the wall in front
Speaker 2: of Hurts long before he got there. We won't see
Speaker 2: Lane Johnson this week. I don't think there's a chance
Speaker 2: he could play, but I doubt it's been one of
Speaker 2: the best right tackles in football for a decade now.
Speaker 2: In fact, he was on the board when Miami selected
Speaker 2: Dion Jordan. Cover your ears, Dolphins fans, Jordan Mylotta might
Speaker 2: be the best left tackle in football. If not, he's
Speaker 2: one of them. And they pair that with the best
Speaker 2: center of this generation and Taylor Swift's boyfriend's brother. Just kidding,
Speaker 2: he's Jason Kelsey. The Kelsers are more important this podcast
Speaker 2: than Taylor Swift. Fight me about it. He's heading to
Speaker 2: camp when he's all said and done here and the
Speaker 2: other two guards spots have seen some changeover with the
Speaker 2: retirement of Brandon Brooks, one of my all time favorite players,
Speaker 2: and free agent departure Isaac Somalu. And that group was
Speaker 2: really formed back in the Carson Wentz era. It helped
Speaker 2: them get to the Super Bowl in twenty seventeen, a
Speaker 2: year where Wentz was pacing for MVP, got injured, and
Speaker 2: you know the rest. He's now throwing footballs and Colt's
Speaker 2: helmets and Commanders jerseys and Eagles shorts. They came back
Speaker 2: with Wentz in twenty eighteen, and that was probably one
Speaker 2: of his best years.
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty ninth nine, maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2: They won a playoff game that year, won the division
Speaker 2: again in twenty nineteen and lost in the playoffs. In fact,
Speaker 2: that was the year I'm thinking of. He was really
Speaker 2: good and carried a very very banged up team that
Speaker 2: year into the postseason and played well in a loss
Speaker 2: to the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: I think it was.
Speaker 2: But then they had their proverbial reset year in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen wins, nine wins, nine wins, four eleven and one.
Speaker 2: And then Hurts gets the job in twenty twenty one
Speaker 2: and they go nine to eight with that loss in
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. And then last year they rattle off eight
Speaker 2: consecutive wins to start the season. They finished four and
Speaker 2: thirteen or sorry, four and thirteen, fourteen and three, and
Speaker 2: they cruised to two lops that had playoff wins before
Speaker 2: losing by a field goal in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: That's gotta hurt so bad.
Speaker 2: We don't know that as Dolphins fans of the generation,
Speaker 2: but I feel like that has to hurt really, really
Speaker 2: bad to lose the Super Bowl by.
Speaker 1: Three points, mam.
Speaker 2: But back to their roster building, they supplemented the beastly
Speaker 2: offensive line, just like we did by drafting one of
Speaker 2: the game's best wide receivers in the same class and
Speaker 2: trading for another one of the game's best wide receivers
Speaker 2: Smith and aj Brown. Dallas Goddard was drafted the same
Speaker 2: year as Mike Gisicki and Durham Smythe and we should
Speaker 2: have taken Goddard in the second round over Kasiki, but
Speaker 2: I digress. But then on defense, a good mix of
Speaker 2: vets and youngsters. They essentially exported those dominant Georgia defenses.
Speaker 2: Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, that might be the best defensive
Speaker 2: tackle in football, That might be the best defensive tackle
Speaker 2: combination of football, Nikobe Dean, Nolan Smith, Keeley Ringo. It
Speaker 2: just keeps going. Fletcher Cox is not from Georgia, but
Speaker 2: he's still a good player. And then he Brandon Graham
Speaker 2: have been there for you know, since the mosfit transistor
Speaker 2: was invented. Where you see the impact of building wall
Speaker 2: to wall elite rosters, and the downside of that is
Speaker 2: on the defense. We mentioned the loss of Somalu, but
Speaker 2: they also lost Javon Hargrave, Chauncey Gardner, Johnson, TJ. Edwards,
Speaker 2: Marcus EPs Kaizer. Why all those guys either start or
Speaker 2: our key parts of sub packages wherever they are now.
Speaker 2: And the Eagles are also on top of that dealing
Speaker 2: with a ton of attrition in that secondary. More on
Speaker 2: that in a moment. All things told, they haven't been
Speaker 2: as dominant as they were last year. They just haven't
Speaker 2: been five and one, so who the hell cares? But
Speaker 2: they've played a ton of close games. And I'm told
Speaker 2: that if you play bad teams, you can't have a
Speaker 2: success against those teams because it doesn't matter how much
Speaker 2: beat them by. But the Eagles have skirted by some
Speaker 2: not so good football teams. Close win against the Patriots,
Speaker 2: close win against the Commanders in overtime, infact, and loss
Speaker 2: of the freaking Jets. The Jets aren't a good team.
Speaker 2: They held in the red zone against the Patriots to
Speaker 2: hang on by five points in that Week one game,
Speaker 2: staved off a comeback against the Vikings in Week two
Speaker 2: thirty four to twenty eight, they pulled away from the
Speaker 2: Bucks in the second half of a twenty five to
Speaker 2: eleven victory. And then the Commanders, when we talked about
Speaker 2: a twenty three to fourteen win over the Rams twenty
Speaker 2: three points on the Rams defense, and then lost of
Speaker 2: the Jets on Sunday with four giveaways and just fourteen points.
Speaker 2: So the most this season for them was the four
Speaker 2: and the most they've had in a game started by
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts since their first loss last year on Monday
Speaker 2: Night against Washington when they turned the ball over four times.
Speaker 2: So turn them over four times, probably gonna beat them.
Speaker 2: This is a good, one man, good, good football game.
Speaker 2: I was just out at practice on Wednesday and the
Speaker 2: media cant agencies about four times the size as it
Speaker 2: usually is.
Speaker 1: Big football game.
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and check out some of the storylines here,
Speaker 2: and it starts at the quarterback position. Two of the
Speaker 2: Hurts not on the field at the same time, but
Speaker 2: still fun to get excited about. Right the twenty seventeen
Speaker 2: Natty Tua coming off the bench and rescuing a thirteen
Speaker 2: point deficit to beat Georgia, and then the twenty eighteen
Speaker 2: summer quarterback battle there I distinctly remember this fun story
Speaker 2: that you guys that have been with me for the
Speaker 2: entire lockdown Dolphins days will know this. But I had
Speaker 2: a buddy who was a ga at Bama, and he
Speaker 2: came on the podcast to tell us about MIKEA. Fitzpatrick
Speaker 2: way drafted him, and then later about Tua Tongua Bai Looa,
Speaker 2: and he was adamant about the professionalism that both those
Speaker 2: guys showed that entire summer, and he said, look, everybody
Speaker 2: in the program knew who the better quarterback was. It
Speaker 2: was Tula right like clearly at that stage of their careers.
Speaker 2: But Tua never complained about having to go win the
Speaker 2: job every single day. And then Hurts was a total
Speaker 2: pro in the way that he handled it. And I
Speaker 2: imagine if you're listening to this podcast, was probably your
Speaker 2: favorite quarterback in the NFL, Hurts should be your second
Speaker 2: because as a prospect, there were some things he had
Speaker 2: to find tune as a passer and he's just one
Speaker 2: of the most maniacal workers you've ever seen in the sport,
Speaker 2: and he's improved in all the areas he had to
Speaker 2: to make himself into one of the best five or
Speaker 2: six quarterbacks in the NFL. So that's fun to watch
Speaker 2: they duel for the first time ever and then bragging
Speaker 2: rights for the best wide receiver duo in football?
Speaker 1: Is it Reek and Waddle or is it Brown and Davonte.
Speaker 2: I have my pick, but I bet you the Eagles
Speaker 2: fans would take their guys. How about the atmosphere. It's
Speaker 2: been a year of bucking conventional thought for the Dolphins,
Speaker 2: hasn't it. Well, Miami can really assert themselves into the
Speaker 2: conversations that we ought to be having opposed to the
Speaker 2: questioning of validity. A win in this one means that
Speaker 2: Joey Jets can't tweet any more about the Dolphins. His
Speaker 2: forty four tweets a day on average against the Dolphins
Speaker 2: is gonna have to go down a little bit. I
Speaker 2: think the entire idea of trying to dismiss opponents based
Speaker 2: upon the record, when the truth is every game, every
Speaker 2: entity when you play that team is a different version
Speaker 2: of that team than they are comprehensively. Like, for instance,
Speaker 2: the Chargers had everybody right, Corey Lindsley played in that game,
Speaker 2: or Shan Slay or Derwin James, all the guys that
Speaker 2: have gotten hurt, not that they all have Austin Eckler,
Speaker 2: all the guys that got hurt for the Chargers were
Speaker 2: in that game. So you beat a really good version
Speaker 2: of that Chargers team in a quarterback that everyone says
Speaker 2: is top three but can't win games late. I digress,
Speaker 2: but I think it's bad practice. And winning this game, though,
Speaker 2: would shove all that nonsense aside. So let's just do
Speaker 2: it anyways. Cool temperatures, a raucous road environment, a national
Speaker 2: television spotlight, one of the league's best teams and best rosters.
Speaker 2: It's a win, and there's nothing they can say about
Speaker 2: you if you do that, But more importantly, the chance
Speaker 2: to prove to yourself that you can win in that environment. Right,
Speaker 2: I legitimately believe if you can win this one, it
Speaker 2: proves that you can win anytime, any place, and against anybody.
Speaker 2: Next story line, top line quarterback who forces you to
Speaker 2: defend two plays. That's what Vic Fangio always says when
Speaker 2: he's asked about a Josh Allen or a Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2: We've seen the Dolphins put it to struggling offenses but
Speaker 2: get completely railroaded against top level quarterbacks and top level offenses.
Speaker 2: What would be better than having a big defensive game
Speaker 2: against an explosive offense like this to really solidify Miami's
Speaker 2: position heading into the second half of the season. I
Speaker 2: think we all expect the offense to keep on rolling,
Speaker 2: you know, especially against lesser teams, but score you know,
Speaker 2: twenty five to thirty five points against these top level teams.
Speaker 2: But if the defense can turn that dial up and
Speaker 2: make a good quarterback look Pedestrian.
Speaker 1: Oh buddy, O buddy.
Speaker 2: Next story line, something has to give on explosives. When
Speaker 2: Miami has the football, we have the most explosive plays
Speaker 2: and Philly allows the fourth fewest.
Speaker 1: Which one will hold true in this game? Again?
Speaker 2: I have my pick, you might have yours Sean Deci,
Speaker 2: another defensive coordinator who cut his teeth under Vic Fangio.
Speaker 2: They play a ton of too high and still allow
Speaker 2: just sixty five rushing yards per game and three point
Speaker 2: six yards per Carrie. Can we run them out of that?
Speaker 2: And then, finally, my last storyline here, Vic Fangio's turn
Speaker 2: to play the Ronaldo Hill.
Speaker 1: From Week one role? Do you track that?
Speaker 2: Remember when coach Daniel specifically brought up Ronaldo Hill when
Speaker 2: somebody asked him prior to that Week one game. Does
Speaker 2: having Vic Fangio on staff help you with game planning
Speaker 2: against Brandon Staley who learned under Fangio and he was
Speaker 2: like Ronaldo Hill. Well, Fangio was with the Eagles last
Speaker 2: year dissecting opposing off or defenses rather for their offense,
Speaker 2: so I have to think he has some knowledge of
Speaker 2: that Eagles offense and maybe he could help a little bit. Gosh,
Speaker 2: I am fired up. Let's go ahead and take our
Speaker 2: first break and come back and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2: Because I have done the lab work, I have put
Speaker 2: it all on paper. It's time to tell you why
Speaker 2: I think is gonna happen in this game. We'll do
Speaker 2: Dolphins offense first, Eagles defense. Next Draft Time podcast to
Speaker 2: your host, Travis Wingfield, brought to you back AutoNation. Here
Speaker 2: we go, Here we go, Dolphins offense versus Eagles defense
Speaker 2: and quarterback to a tongue, Bailoa is going to see
Speaker 2: a strange mix in the defensive backfield. I think come
Speaker 2: Sunday night, because the Eagles are extremely banged up in
Speaker 2: the secondary. The three players that I presume will get
Speaker 2: the most run at that group are Terrell Edmonds, has
Speaker 2: played sixty four percent of the snaps, a practice squad player,
Speaker 2: and Makai Gardner, who came up last week and played
Speaker 2: six percent of the overall snaps on the season. He's
Speaker 2: a cornerback who switched to safety four that game. And
Speaker 2: then Sydney Brown is a rookie who looks promising but
Speaker 2: has missed most of the year and played just four
Speaker 2: percent of his team's overall snaps this season. The receivers
Speaker 2: versus corners, you guys know the matchup here. Hill Waddle,
Speaker 2: Claypool Wilson, Darius Slays played eighty three percent of their snaps.
Speaker 2: James Bradberry's played eighty three as well, Josh Job fifty five,
Speaker 2: and then Mario Goodrich is a inside corner who kind
Speaker 2: of finds his role in that position in the nickel,
Speaker 2: but they also use safeties in the nickel, and they
Speaker 2: just have been really banged up in that spot in fact,
Speaker 2: So just to kind of go over the secondary injuries here,
Speaker 2: Justin Evans is not going to play. Red Blankenship is
Speaker 2: probably not going to play. He's one of the top
Speaker 2: guys in that backfield as well. They lost both safeties
Speaker 2: from last year in free agency in Chauncey Gardner Johnson
Speaker 2: and Marcus Epps. Sydney Brown's been out all year, and
Speaker 2: then again Makai Gardner was the safety there. Their starting
Speaker 2: slot Ofvonte Maddox is down. They lost backup corners Eli
Speaker 2: Rix and Bradley Roby from that Jets game with injuries,
Speaker 2: so we're talking about potentially like cornerback seven seeing the
Speaker 2: field at least three quarters of the time in their
Speaker 2: primary base nickel package and for scorekeeping, two safeties for sure,
Speaker 2: potentially a third and their top three primary slot guys.
Speaker 2: That is tough sledding against an offense that is the
Speaker 2: best of all time through six games, so Dolphins have
Speaker 2: to take advantage of those matchups. I think we see
Speaker 2: more of Hill and Waddle inside and not just exclusively
Speaker 2: guys like Barrios. And there's never exclusive positions on this team,
Speaker 2: but I think you'll see more Hill and Waddle inside
Speaker 2: than you generally would. And then on the offensive line
Speaker 2: versus defensive line, they go Fletcher Cox sixty one percent
Speaker 2: of the snaps, and he's a great player, don't get
Speaker 2: me wrong.
Speaker 1: But the two guys that.
Speaker 2: I don't want to see even more are Jordan Davis
Speaker 2: and Jelen Carter, and they've played forty four and forty
Speaker 2: seven percent of the Eagle snaps, respectively, So when they're
Speaker 2: out of the game, that might be a chance to
Speaker 2: make some hey in the running game. Contavious Street fifteen
Speaker 2: percent on the interior as well, and then off the edge,
Speaker 2: Josh Sweat seventy one percent. He is a really good player.
Speaker 2: Hassan Reddick seventy percent, probably even better than Sweat, and
Speaker 2: then Graham thirty one and Derek Barnett twenty two percent
Speaker 2: of those snaps. So we know, no, Tron Armstead, Kendall
Speaker 2: Lamb didn't practice on Wednesday, but he's gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: Connor Williams didn't practice on Wednesday, but I think he'll play.
Speaker 2: In fact, that's the biggest swing hinge portion of this
Speaker 2: game for me is Williams versus eichenbergers center, and we'll
Speaker 2: talk about the match up here in a second. But
Speaker 2: running backs most turtn Auchman you know about them against
Speaker 2: linebackers like Zach Cunningham, who's played eighty three percent of
Speaker 2: their snap and he's more indicative of the fact that
Speaker 2: Nakobe Dean's been injured. But the Eagles linebacker position has
Speaker 2: been the bane of their existence the last few years.
Speaker 2: So you go out and get a guy that is
Speaker 2: probably past his prime a little bit. Nicholas Morrow seventy
Speaker 2: percent of the snaps and then Nacobe Dean should be
Speaker 2: ramped up to go this week. He's played twenty one
Speaker 2: percent of the snaps after landing on ir and he
Speaker 2: was basically a Jalen Phillips last game in terms of
Speaker 2: he got a pitch count of snaps at the middle
Speaker 2: linebacker position. They didn't have Jalen Carter or Darius Slate
Speaker 2: last week. I imagine both those guys will return, and
Speaker 2: I'm curious if Nolan Smith gets some more burn because
Speaker 2: Derek Barnett and Brandon Graham just don't really.
Speaker 1: Have the juice they used to off the edge.
Speaker 2: Defensively, they almost are not quite Buffalo level, but eighty
Speaker 2: one percent nickel. They rarely get out of that package
Speaker 2: and they only run one base. There's no hybrid here.
Speaker 2: So you're gonna get a lot of even fronts forty
Speaker 2: three defense twelve percent of the time, and they'll sprinkle
Speaker 2: in some dime two percent as well. I wonder, though,
Speaker 2: I wonder if we see a change up given some
Speaker 2: of the personnel issues they're having with their injuries. I
Speaker 2: think the strength of their defense is in the depth
Speaker 2: they have up front. Would they maybe usher out some
Speaker 2: new fronts to get more gaps accounted for and maybe
Speaker 2: see some of that, you know, six to one type
Speaker 2: of look that we seen the Dolphins run with Vic
Speaker 2: Fangio since Sean Desai is off of the Vic Fangio tree.
Speaker 2: But that's the problem with this Dolphins offense because if
Speaker 2: you do that, you risk giving minimal help to ten
Speaker 2: and seventeen and man. The few times teams have gone
Speaker 2: man up against Tyreek without safety help, Well, that was
Speaker 2: the coverage that you had on a thirty five yard
Speaker 2: touchdown pass. The coverage you had on a sixty nine
Speaker 2: yard touchdown pass nice and a forty one yard touchdown
Speaker 2: pass against the Chargers, Giants, and Panthers, respectively. Now, as
Speaker 2: for the Eagles corners, I think Slays a heck of
Speaker 2: a player and a good ballhawk, and you gotta be
Speaker 2: weary of him trying to jump routes and make plays
Speaker 2: in the football. I think if we can not turn
Speaker 2: the ball over, this game will push forty points. That's
Speaker 2: always kind of the way it goes. But I think
Speaker 2: that James Bradberry is still a really good player. He's
Speaker 2: at that kind of cornerback cliff if you will, at
Speaker 2: thirty where guys tend to see their physical traits deteriorate
Speaker 2: and then have to make more plays based upon their
Speaker 2: you know, mental aptitude. But he's a six to one,
Speaker 2: two hundred and nine pound corner. And I saw Sean
Speaker 2: decide say that, yeah, speed can hurt you, but you
Speaker 2: can hurt speed with physicality. Okay, but you got to
Speaker 2: get hands on guys. And the way the Dolphins have
Speaker 2: operated in motion, I wonder if the plan is to
Speaker 2: try to press and bump and run and disrupt timing.
Speaker 2: Because if that's the case, if they want to play
Speaker 2: it that way, I bet you Coach McDaniel has something
Speaker 2: for them with his motions and his wrinkles. And I
Speaker 2: just know that there's different variations off of the offense
Speaker 2: we've had so far, and I cannot wait. I think
Speaker 2: this game and then Casey in a couple weeks, which
Speaker 2: to me is the most important game of the entire year.
Speaker 2: I think you could see a little bit of you know,
Speaker 2: some of the back pages in terms of what this
Speaker 2: offense can really really do. But Bradbury does not move
Speaker 2: like high Reek and Jalen du So those are interesting
Speaker 2: matchups there if you get them. If you can kick
Speaker 2: them inside even better, but they should have Sleigh and
Speaker 2: Bradbury available, but again several guys out on the interior
Speaker 2: that I mentioned earlier in the podcast. I just I
Speaker 2: wonder what they're going to do to mask some of those,
Speaker 2: you know, depth issues, because right now you're looking at
Speaker 2: practice squad guys playing significant snaps for this ego secondary.
Speaker 1: It's a rough matchup. Man.
Speaker 2: They've played just ten snaps of zero coverage this year,
Speaker 2: and just two of three high they play. They start
Speaker 2: off in single high thirty two percent, and wrote or
Speaker 2: start with too high coverage sixty four percent, which tells
Speaker 2: you run the ball right. But it's funny because if
Speaker 2: you look at their post snap alignments, it's completely flipped
Speaker 2: sixty four single high and thirty two too high.
Speaker 1: So what is it against the Jets.
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure if this was because they are just
Speaker 2: playing an offense that has no explosive passing element to
Speaker 2: it whatsoever and the worst starting quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 2: But it looks like they play a little bit more
Speaker 2: of that man free coverage because the thing with all
Speaker 2: those injuries, you know, if Miami can keep Tua protected,
Speaker 2: it's just such a tough offense, to try to incorporate
Speaker 2: new pieces and develop chemistry on the fly to be
Speaker 2: able to counteract all the movement, all the eye candy,
Speaker 2: all the ball handling, all the process deliver attributes with
Speaker 2: which the Tua shines. I think we're gonna get in
Speaker 2: this game a signature to a tongue of by low.
Speaker 2: A game, a three hundred plus yard day, a three
Speaker 2: touchdown type of day that completely silences the few remaining
Speaker 2: Barry Cunninghams of the world, the guys that can only
Speaker 2: count to potato, if you know what I mean. Big
Speaker 2: chance for Tua to have a game that really gets
Speaker 2: people talking here, and I think he's up to the challenge.
Speaker 2: And I think the answer here is ball distribution. When
Speaker 2: they play their you know, their their quarters or their
Speaker 2: coverage shells, they tend to put back the roof on
Speaker 2: the top of the defense. And then when they get aggressive,
Speaker 2: you dial up your game breakers and you get your
Speaker 2: explosives that way, stay on schedule, and then deliver once
Speaker 2: you lull them to sleep. All of that said, I
Speaker 2: think you start this matchup with where the Jets had
Speaker 2: some success run on the football off the perimeter, and
Speaker 2: nobody has more success with that than Miami. The Jets
Speaker 2: hit an eighteen yard fly sweep against the Eagles defense.
Speaker 2: They also totaled forty two total yards on just four
Speaker 2: carries off either end. Hey run the ball off the
Speaker 2: edge more gay. The Dolphins lead the league in rushing
Speaker 2: off the edge three hundred and eighty five yards on
Speaker 2: just fifty nine attempts and four touchdowns. That's an average
Speaker 2: of six point five yards per pot. But then again,
Speaker 2: we also average six point five rushing as a team
Speaker 2: in general. Oh and we have eleven touchdowns running the
Speaker 2: ball between tackles. So it's pretty much just good no
Speaker 2: matter what you do. But then from there that creates
Speaker 2: so much counter action and screen game, and I just
Speaker 2: want to see these young, you know, untested corners or
Speaker 2: you know, safeties come down try to make tackles because
Speaker 2: if you can block up Sleigh and Bradbury and get
Speaker 2: on the perimeter and force those guys to tackle Waddle
Speaker 2: and Hill and most are good luck man. And then
Speaker 2: off of that the play action game, where Miami is
Speaker 2: one of the most the offense is there too, I
Speaker 2: mean across the board, right, but Nakoby Dean working back
Speaker 2: into the flow of things, is good for them.
Speaker 1: Hopefully.
Speaker 2: I hope there's some rust and you can maybe scramble
Speaker 2: his thoughts a little bit, because like, go back to
Speaker 2: that first game against Kenneth Murray, poor Kenneth Murray in
Speaker 2: that game, and he was in hell. If you can
Speaker 2: get Nikobe Dean's head spinning a little bit, that's gonna
Speaker 2: really make this offense click and put the numbers up
Speaker 2: that we were used to seeing and probably win the
Speaker 2: football game.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: The biggest key to this Eagles defense and where I
Speaker 2: think they can plant their flag against some of the
Speaker 2: matchups that I just talked about, that favor Miami so
Speaker 2: dramatically is in that front. And it's good on good
Speaker 2: because Miami's been fantastic in that department as well. And
Speaker 2: you know, Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis are a modern
Speaker 2: version of the Williams Wall. You younger folks, The Minnesota
Speaker 2: Vikings used to have two defensive tackles, Pat and Kevin
Speaker 2: Williams that were literally immovable, and they would play like
Speaker 2: eighty five percent of their snaps and just rush the
Speaker 2: passer and you'd run for like two yards in a
Speaker 2: game against them the entire game. But these guys, they're
Speaker 2: so freaking good. Carter didn't play last week, but big
Speaker 2: number ninety Jordan Davis was the guy that popped off
Speaker 2: the tape to me more than anybody else, he just
Speaker 2: consistently walked their center back into Zach Wilson, and Carter
Speaker 2: has been even better than that. So I think where
Speaker 2: Miami has been superb is the connectivity inside. You know, Williams,
Speaker 2: Hunt and Win are all top grade, top three at
Speaker 2: their positions in past block efficiency, not right guard, left guard,
Speaker 2: all the guards. It's two and three for Hunt and Win,
Speaker 2: and then Williams's number three among centers. So if they
Speaker 2: can do that, if they can get those big fellows
Speaker 2: moving with outside runs, tire the legs out a little bit,
Speaker 2: maybe we keep them at bay, you know, keep the
Speaker 2: edge rushers thinking about what might becoming. Look, if Connor
Speaker 2: Williams plays, I'm picking a win. It's gonna tell you
Speaker 2: that right now. If he doesn't, I'm probably gonna flip it.
Speaker 2: Just just want you guys to know that. Josh Sweat
Speaker 2: and Hassan Reddick again game wreckers off the edge. I
Speaker 2: think Sweat has looked the toughest this year in terms
Speaker 2: of his pop and get off and the counter moves
Speaker 2: that he offers. He's just a pass rushers pass rusher.
Speaker 2: He's got a variety of swipes and hand combat moves
Speaker 2: that helped to get him free. The interesting part about
Speaker 2: this is that Kendall Lamb specializes in that department. It
Speaker 2: feels like we said this a few times regarding this
Speaker 2: matchup right, just good on good and the things that
Speaker 2: you do well, they do well. What a treat for
Speaker 2: the neutral fan to get to watch this game. I
Speaker 2: wonder again if we might see more Nolan Smith. He
Speaker 2: was a first round draft pick. He's got all the
Speaker 2: length and bendability and pass rush you could ever want
Speaker 2: in a prospect. But Brandon Graham out reps him, but
Speaker 2: just hasn't done much this year. And here by the
Speaker 2: numbers you can see it pressures this year. Sweat twenty seven,
Speaker 2: Runnick twenty four, Carter twenty three. Huge drop off. Milton Williams,
Speaker 2: guy we didn't talk about in the interior who left
Speaker 2: the Jets game and came back and looks pretty good too.
Speaker 2: He has twelve, Fletcher Cox has twelve, and then Graham
Speaker 2: has just nine.
Speaker 1: So you kind of see those.
Speaker 2: Top three guys are really where the pressure comes from
Speaker 2: from this defense. Good challenges all around for our guys
Speaker 2: up front. I am curious to see if we can get,
Speaker 2: you know, continue to get our guys out in space
Speaker 2: against an athletic group of defensive backs in the running game.
Speaker 2: I like Miami's offense to post some good points in
Speaker 2: this game. We'll tell you how much on the next side,
Speaker 2: and we'll also tell you how much the Eagles offense
Speaker 2: might score in this game. As we break down Jalen
Speaker 2: Hurts and the Eagles offense. First, the Miami Dolphins defense.
Speaker 2: That's next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought
Speaker 2: to you by Auto Nation. When the Dolphins defense is
Speaker 2: back on the field, which, by the way, real quick.
Speaker 2: A couple of news and notes here. Jalen Ramsey practice
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. He looks good, man, he looks good. He
Speaker 2: looks good. Also, Raheem most Aret one player of the
Speaker 2: Month for the AFC on offense, So congratulations to Raheem.
Speaker 2: And I think we're gonna see Ramsey back here pretty
Speaker 2: dang soon. He was ruled out for the Philly game already,
Speaker 2: but his practice window has opened. We are going to
Speaker 2: see number five very soon. For your Miami Dolphins defense.
Speaker 2: Not this week, but we will see Javon Holland and
Speaker 2: Deshaun Elliott go up against Jalen Hurts, and I continue
Speaker 2: to think the connectivity those two guys have shown and
Speaker 2: grown and improved with will only continue to make life
Speaker 2: tough on Jalen Hurts, who passing the football this year
Speaker 2: been a little bit wonky, a little bit sideways.
Speaker 1: More on that in a moment.
Speaker 2: We'll see who can deal with Davante Smith and AJ Brown,
Speaker 2: who both played ninety five percent plus of the snaps.
Speaker 2: I feel similarly about Connor Williams as I do xaviing
Speaker 2: Howard's availability, that could really flip how I feel about
Speaker 2: this game because x is here to guard a guy
Speaker 2: like AJ Brown. He might not win the matchup, but
Speaker 2: he has to be able to go compete with that guy,
Speaker 2: match his physicality and hopefully he can do that. And
Speaker 2: then do we see maybe some more Cam Smith because
Speaker 2: I just am not loving the other options outside of
Speaker 2: what we have with him with X and Cator Kohu.
Speaker 2: And then on the slot they run Alumadi Aza Kias
Speaker 2: is a pretty underrated player forty eight percent of the snaps.
Speaker 2: Quez Walkin's twenty six, but I think he's gonna miss
Speaker 2: the game. And then Dallas Godder is really the third
Speaker 2: option in the passing game. He's played ninety two percent
Speaker 2: of their snap So Smith, Brown and Goddter and then
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift is really the main package, and they'll they'll
Speaker 2: kind of substitute in the fifth eligible across the board
Speaker 2: from the rest of the guys they have. They've had
Speaker 2: an interesting interior three. Landon Dickerson is a former center
Speaker 2: playing left guard, and then Jason Kelsey and the new
Speaker 2: right guard. Suwa Opa is the one that I don't
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if that's a guy
Speaker 2: that can really handle Christian Wilkins on that side of
Speaker 2: the football. Obviously they go up against Wilkins. See Lard
Speaker 2: Davis and some DeShawn hand action in there, and then
Speaker 2: Jordan Mylotta and Jack Driscoll will be the tackle combination.
Speaker 2: I just don't think Lane Johnson can do it this week,
Speaker 2: So big matchup for Phillips off that side, as well
Speaker 2: as Van Ginkel. If he gets as much run as
Speaker 2: he usually does, I think we'll see a lot more
Speaker 2: JP this week. I kind of feel like this was
Speaker 2: the game they were targeting all along for him to
Speaker 2: come back, and then Chubb on my lot, that's probably
Speaker 2: a favorite Eagles, But if he can get some production there,
Speaker 2: that would be a big, big bonus. And he's probably
Speaker 2: gonna see lots of one on ones too, So you're
Speaker 2: up Beachubb again. Lane Johnson high ankle spring Jack Driscoll
Speaker 2: replaced him and surrendered eight quarterback pressures in the game
Speaker 2: on Sunday. I do think it's pretty common for an
Speaker 2: offensive lineman coming off the bench to struggle more so
Speaker 2: than starting Just a different story when you get the
Speaker 2: whole week of reps and start the game again. Watkins
Speaker 2: left with injury their left guard. They're normal left guard,
Speaker 2: Jergen Cox is down, so that's where Dickerson fills in.
Speaker 2: He was a replacement for Isaac Somalu, a key free
Speaker 2: agent loss this March's almost like the guys they lost
Speaker 2: in free agency that maybe they're trying to find, you know,
Speaker 2: replacements and trying to find the rhythm in those spots.
Speaker 2: Those guys are like now injured and they're on the
Speaker 2: third option at that spot, so that could be a
Speaker 2: key to watch for in this game. They signed Julio Jones,
Speaker 2: by doubt, you'll see him on Sunday. Their personnel eleven
Speaker 2: is seventy three percent of the time. Zakias and Watkins
Speaker 2: snap counts add up to seventy three, so that makes
Speaker 2: perfect sense. They operate from twelve personnel twenty percent of
Speaker 2: the time. Jack Stole plays about twenty one percent of
Speaker 2: the snap, so there you go. He's the second tight end.
Speaker 2: They play thirteen personnel five percent, and they do not
Speaker 2: have a fullback on their roster, but twenty one personnel
Speaker 2: with two backs is two percent of the time. Fast
Speaker 2: twenty one right, they'll go two two half backs, I
Speaker 2: should say, alongside Hurts at times. And it all starts
Speaker 2: in the ground game with DeAndre Swift, Jalen Hurts in
Speaker 2: the design running game, and of course Hurts on scrambles.
Speaker 2: That was all he did against the Jets. Escape, Escape, Escape,
Speaker 2: and Create. They've not been as coordinated in structure this year,
Speaker 2: but I think that's to be expected a new play
Speaker 2: caller and offensive coordinator. They ran just thirty five percent
Speaker 2: of the time in that eleven package eleven personnel package,
Speaker 2: but they run it fifty four percent of the time
Speaker 2: and twelve so when you get two ten ends in
Speaker 2: the field, you might want to bring a safety down
Speaker 2: stay in that base package. But then from there they
Speaker 2: know that and they're going to get their vertical shots
Speaker 2: to those two stud wide receivers. They're like us man,
Speaker 2: there are a lot to deal with. You have to
Speaker 2: play a really good game to stop them defensively. First
Speaker 2: player I think about when I think about how to
Speaker 2: slow Philly is David Long. To me, this is the
Speaker 2: game that you get David Long for. He's come on
Speaker 2: as of late in an offense that can be run
Speaker 2: but also hit you with verticals against your base package,
Speaker 2: an offense that runs so much RPO.
Speaker 1: You need a skill set.
Speaker 2: Like Long, and you need him to be seeing things
Speaker 2: in the way that allows him to anticipate and feel
Speaker 2: and just be in the right position. Because without the
Speaker 2: running game, you know, design scrambles and without swift, if
Speaker 2: you cut that down, it's like cutting the head off
Speaker 2: the snake here for the Eagles, suddenly they can't get
Speaker 2: to those vertical shots. The efficiency buggaboos we're going to
Speaker 2: tell you about here in a moment. They've they bogged
Speaker 2: down drives like multiple drives at a time, like you
Speaker 2: saw against the Jets on Sunday, and here's a good
Speaker 2: example of that. They ran for eighty yards against the Jets,
Speaker 2: their lowest total in over a calendar year, and they
Speaker 2: scored their lowest point total in that long fourteen points.
Speaker 2: Week one was the only other time they didn't rush
Speaker 2: for over one hundred yards this season ninety seven against
Speaker 2: New England, and they only scored eighteen points offensively. So
Speaker 2: it kind of seems like the key here is to
Speaker 2: hold them under one hundred rushing yards and you can.
Speaker 1: Keep them below twenty points.
Speaker 2: Now, I think the game script calls for something differently
Speaker 2: because the Dolphins offense is not the Jets and Patriots offense.
Speaker 1: But you get what I'm going with this.
Speaker 2: Every other game they had, they had two games over
Speaker 2: two hundred yards and a couple of games over one
Speaker 2: hundred yards, and they scored in those games. But to
Speaker 2: that verticals point, they went after the commander's frequent quarters
Speaker 2: calls and Jack del Rio's defense is at yikes, but
Speaker 2: they went after those quarters looks with relentless verticals posts corners.
Speaker 2: Seems from the two position they tried to hit explosives
Speaker 2: to Brown and Smith pretty much every time they got
Speaker 2: that look. So while I think the run game is
Speaker 2: first and foremost, I think the player who is first
Speaker 2: and foremost individually is aj Brown. What a problem this
Speaker 2: guy is, My god. He wins on every type of route.
Speaker 2: His run after the catch is elite, and he takes
Speaker 2: over most games like Tyreek Hill does not to the
Speaker 2: same level, but you get it. I just hope we
Speaker 2: get a healthy X because that's who he typically matches
Speaker 2: up best with. Not that he's gonna win that matchup,
Speaker 2: but he can use his physicality to help offset some
Speaker 2: of Browns in that department. And then I think Cater
Speaker 2: has the quicks to keep pace with Devonte Smith. I
Speaker 2: don't like a cornerback over a good receiver almost any time,
Speaker 2: but you're going to give attention somewhere.
Speaker 1: It's probably that one.
Speaker 2: If that's the way the matchups play out, probably vary
Speaker 2: between those two guys, But then you force someone else
Speaker 2: to beat you, right and for the Eagles, that has
Speaker 2: been Dallas Goddard, So find a matchup for him.
Speaker 1: I that's Javon Hollin's job in this game. And then
Speaker 1: keep an eye on.
Speaker 2: Alimede as a key as he just a crafty route runner,
Speaker 2: But Miami has to win those one on ones to
Speaker 2: be competitive on defense, where they haven't been quite as
Speaker 2: sharp as last year. And it's funny to say this
Speaker 2: because they're still the number two offense in football. They've
Speaker 2: not been as efficient in the short passing game, just
Speaker 2: fifty one percent completion in the intermediate part of the
Speaker 2: field and a success rate of only thirty four percent.
Speaker 2: There's lots of sloppy play in there, like breakdowns and
Speaker 2: pass pro minimal effort on the top of some routes,
Speaker 2: some bad quarterback mechanics, bailing on clean pockets, just different
Speaker 2: things that lead to a passing success rate of forty
Speaker 2: four percent, which is only twenty first in the National
Speaker 2: Football League. But it is a sixty one point six
Speaker 2: percent success rate for Swift on the ground and sixty
Speaker 2: one point nine percent for Hurts as a runner. So
Speaker 2: you pair running wins with their sloppy passing attack at times,
Speaker 2: you can bog them down. What's interesting about this, though,
Speaker 2: is that Hurts it seems like one of those passing
Speaker 2: game issues. And again they're still productive as hell, but
Speaker 2: when it gets disjointed him, it starts with one's footwork
Speaker 2: like he's not hitching in rhythm. He's not striving towards
Speaker 2: his target, and the timing of those drops is not
Speaker 2: timing up with the routes.
Speaker 1: It's just a hair off.
Speaker 2: And again, this could all be calibrated by this week,
Speaker 2: but it hasn't been so far.
Speaker 1: But when when Hurts his footwork is right, gosh, he.
Speaker 2: Is deadly on balance. For me, He's a top five
Speaker 2: quarterback in the league. A great test for the Dolphins defense.
Speaker 2: The line play is fantastic, but Sunday was their worst
Speaker 2: performance by the numbers, and I don't think that's any
Speaker 2: coincidence with Lane Johnson exiting the game. The Jets flushed
Speaker 2: hearts all game long, and Johnson's replacement, Jack driscoll his
Speaker 2: eight pressures in the game allowed were the most by
Speaker 2: an Eagle in a game since twenty twenty. And again,
Speaker 2: off the bench is different than starting. But I think
Speaker 2: with an offense like this, especially one that just had
Speaker 2: a four giveaway game and just happened in a fluky manner.
Speaker 2: I mean, one was a catch that got stripped and
Speaker 2: deflected back the other way and landed right in the
Speaker 2: lap of Quinn Williams.
Speaker 1: It's a pure fluke.
Speaker 2: Then another one where his arm got hit and the
Speaker 2: ball turned into an infield fly. I don't think you
Speaker 2: can bank on that kind of luck. If you get it, great,
Speaker 2: but I think with the hope of an offense like
Speaker 2: this is to contain it. Just contained a big plays,
Speaker 2: get enough rundown wins, stream them together hopefully, and then
Speaker 2: you can hope to get some wins on third downs
Speaker 2: there as well. So it's also important to note for
Speaker 2: the guys in coverage when he scrambles, they have to
Speaker 2: get under their man and plaster because on tape this
Speaker 2: is so consistent. They come straight back down the stem.
Speaker 2: When he scrambled off to the sideline, regardless of the coverage,
Speaker 2: they always come right back to him. He put a
Speaker 2: couple in harm's way against the Jets, but he also
Speaker 2: completed some insane throws in that category, including one where
Speaker 2: he's literally stiff arming a three hundred pounds defensive tackle
Speaker 2: while throwing the football.
Speaker 1: This guy's an alien man. How do we impact the
Speaker 1: game in the past? Rush?
Speaker 2: I love Wilkins and Sealer as much as anybody, but
Speaker 2: I just this interior three is so good, and it
Speaker 2: starts with an elite center. It's so hard to get
Speaker 2: interior pressure against a team with an elite center because
Speaker 2: of all the help that he provides, like on the
Speaker 2: right guard I mentioned, like he helps him so much,
Speaker 2: and the matchups I think favor Miami more on the
Speaker 2: edge because I don't imagine Lane Johnson plays six days
Speaker 2: after a high ankle sprain, so pressures, hits and sacks
Speaker 2: allowed my lotta sixteen one in one, Dickerson twelve three
Speaker 2: and one, Kelsey three to one and zero. Jeez, Opeta
Speaker 2: or Opum sorry, eight one and one.
Speaker 1: It's Opeto? What the hell am I talking about?
Speaker 2: And he's only played one hundred and thirty one snaps
Speaker 2: because he's not the original right guard. And then Driscoll
Speaker 2: eight two and one, but just forty three snaps on
Speaker 2: Sunday to allow eight pressures.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: I have some keys I want to talk about. First,
Speaker 2: what's at stake from a standing standpoint, honestly, not all
Speaker 2: that much. It's an NFC team, and in fact, our
Speaker 2: playoff odds decreased by a point last week even though
Speaker 2: we won the game. According to Summer Sports on their
Speaker 2: probability scale of playoffs, that's a direct result of playing
Speaker 2: an NFC team, typically or Technically speaking, Miami could drop
Speaker 2: this one and then rattle off wins in the next
Speaker 2: seven games, which I think they will personally, and have
Speaker 2: the number one seed in their control heading into the
Speaker 2: final three games versus Dallas, Baltimore and Buffalo. That's another
Speaker 2: universal way, but I feel like it's important in the
Speaker 2: description of what's.
Speaker 1: Truly at stake.
Speaker 2: Now that said, I do think this is a human
Speaker 2: game with humans involved and human emotions attached to go
Speaker 2: on the road in that environment against that team on
Speaker 2: this stage to win this game. I think this is
Speaker 2: a confident team already, but if they get this win,
Speaker 2: I think that will just affirm the confidence, and who knows,
Speaker 2: maybe it would be a springboard to them play playing
Speaker 2: into an even higher level than before, and maybe they
Speaker 2: go to sixteen and one as a result of that.
Speaker 2: So it's a big game, but it isn't a big game,
Speaker 2: if that makes sense. The keys to me contain the
Speaker 2: Philly Run game forty four percent success passing rate. If
Speaker 2: you can play at that number while executing our second key,
Speaker 2: which we'll get to in a minute, and the ability
Speaker 2: to stream together run down wins, that could limit this offense.
Speaker 2: That's how other teams have gotten done against them in
Speaker 2: terms of you know, limiting points. Eighteen points against the Patriots,
Speaker 2: twenty against the Jets last week, or fourteen against the
Speaker 2: Jets last week. Key number two, excuse me, prevent aj
Speaker 2: Brown and DeVante Smith from getting vertical. They're completing forty
Speaker 2: percent of their throws twenty plus yards down the field,
Speaker 2: but when they get them, they go for big yards
Speaker 2: eleven completions for four to forty five and four touchdowns
Speaker 2: on such throws. As we mentioned forty four percent passing rate.
Speaker 2: Success comes from a relatively inefficient intermediate passing game. If
Speaker 2: you can force their deep shots into a high incompletion percentage,
Speaker 2: maybe pick one off, then you can get some stops
Speaker 2: and the key number three feed the Cheetah and the Penguin.
Speaker 2: It's a key every single week. But they are so
Speaker 2: banged up. Let's take advantage of that. Let's see Cheetah
Speaker 2: go for buck fifty. Let's see penguin goal for a
Speaker 2: buck fifty, and go get us a big whim on
Speaker 2: Sunday night football. Areas of concern. I'm concerned about the
Speaker 2: run defense versus that quarterback and DeAndre Swift. They're just
Speaker 2: very good and would have me concern regardless of who's
Speaker 2: on defense. I'm concerned about Brown and Smith, especially if
Speaker 2: xaviing Howard cannot go in the game, and I'm concerned
Speaker 2: about Carter and Davis, especially if Connor Williams cannot go.
Speaker 2: Areas to exploit Jack Driscoll have to win that matchup consistently.
Speaker 2: They're gonna help on him, but you have to find
Speaker 2: a way to make him pay when he's one on
Speaker 2: one and then capitalize on some of the erratic nature
Speaker 2: of the offense. If Hurtz puts the ball in Harm's way,
Speaker 2: if he throws a bad pass that cost them a down,
Speaker 2: don't let him get back into the down distance, get
Speaker 2: off the field if that happens, and then their secondary
Speaker 2: injuries and the matchups there exploit them. The prediction I'm
Speaker 2: taking the Miami Dolphins. I feel great about the offense,
Speaker 2: not the defense against that offense. If it's not Connor,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna flip it to thirty four to thirty one Eagles.
Speaker 2: But with Connor, I'm going thirty eight Dolphins and the
Speaker 2: game not being.
Speaker 1: As close as a score indicate.
Speaker 2: I think Miami comes out like we saw Buffalo come
Speaker 2: out against US in Week four. I think they're motivated.
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna play it hard and fast and
Speaker 2: do it early. I think that they're gonna score early
Speaker 2: and often and play comprimary football and show the world
Speaker 2: what we are. That we are, what I have been
Speaker 2: telling you guys this whole year, what I think this
Speaker 2: football team is. And they were last year, but injuries
Speaker 2: gotten the way of that. So thirty eight twenty eight Dolphins,
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Let's go ahead and get out
Speaker 2: of here. Mike Tarico on the podcast on Friday, Fran
