WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Broncos Week 3 Preview

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. Now let me check

0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:10.879
<v Speaker 1>your pulse if you're not far though. What is up, Dolphins?

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 2>And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, part of the

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 2>Miami Dolphins podcast network covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 2>How's it going, everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield.

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 2>And on today's show, it's Wednesday, and y'all know what

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 2>that means. Time to prove you another Miami Dolphins football game.

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 2>We'll get into the details and keys between the Dolphins

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and Broncos, including key stats, the key storylines, a history

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>of the Broncos to this point, the tell of the tapes,

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 2>and of course the keys to victory from the Baptist

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Health studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:46.480
<v Speaker 1>This is the Draft Time Podcast. Maye gaff.

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.519
<v Speaker 2>A not so familiar foe coming from the Rocky Mountains

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>and John Denver, which seems odd with them being in

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>our conference. We last played the Broncos in twenty twenty

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 2>and the last time we played them here twenty seventeen,

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>and that just goes to show you that we have

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>not had the same divisional standing as the Broncos in

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 2>a long time. So we get that three year rotation

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:12.199
<v Speaker 2>game with playing the entire AFC West to every three years.

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>But still this quote unquote rivalry is home to some

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>of my favorite all time Dolphins games. That two thousand

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and two Sunday night football victory the hardest hitting, most

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>physical football game I've seen the Dolphins play in my

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>lifetime to propel Miami to a five to one record

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.919
<v Speaker 2>on the foot of a Lindo Mare, on the broken

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>thumb of Jay Fiedler and the arms of Ricky Williams.

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>And really the defense was the one defense and Ricky

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>were the ones I believe put them in that position,

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>but also atop the ESPN Power rankings after that victory,

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 2>and I recall showing all my friends in computer lab

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 2>the next day, Hey, look who is number one in

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>ESPN's power rankings. The two thousand and five opener was

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>my senior year of high school. We were supposed to

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 2>get wax but instead were the ones doing the waxing

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty four to ten. We also had a big win

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 2>up there the wildcat season, which was a big victory

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 2>for the divisional championship that we claimed last time we

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>did that in two thousand and eight, And truth be told,

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the t Bow game.

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Your boy wanted Andrew.

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Luck that year, so I was pretty excited about that

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>comeback from touchdown Jesus himself. Then the twenty fourteen game

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>where Tannehill played maybe the best game of his career

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>as a Dolphin, but then Peyton Manning did Peyton Manning

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>things to overcome eleven point deficit in the fourth quarter.

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Since that guy retired, though, since their twenty fifteen Super

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Bowl championship, it has been tough for the Broncos at quarterback,

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 2>as has the search for their franchise quarterback. Trevor simmem

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 2>E Won Knitt Brock Osweier backs and Lynch case keenum

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>might have been the best of the entire bunch, Drew Locke,

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Joe Flacco, Brett Ripion, Jeff Driscoll. It's not all that

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 2>dissimilar to what we went through in the post Marino era,

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>which is a little bit short of a timeline, and

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 2>they also fittingly had issues finding their air apparent to

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>lway before Manning's arrival in twenty twelve. Combined from the

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 2>first year after the Super Bowl championship, so twenty sixteen

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>through the last year without Russell Wilson twenty two twenty one,

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>they were thirty nine and fifty eight, yet still as

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 2>a franchise five hundred and four fifty six all time,

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>and that includes last year's five and twelve records, So

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>all things told, that is seventy losses compared to forty

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>four wins over a six year span, and then zero

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 2>to two this year, so forty four and seventy two

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.839
<v Speaker 2>at this point. But enter Russell Wilson in year one

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 2>did not go as planned. He could not see the concepts,

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 2>he could not throw the ball vertically, he could not scramble.

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>It was a disaster. More on that later.

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Then enter Sean Payton, who's ozer and two so far

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 2>and made more headlines with his mouth than his team's

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>play on the field, and they had an eighteen point

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 2>lead evaporate last week. He's ruffled the feathers with his

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>words since his arrival. But let's not make any mistake

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 2>about this. The passing game looks back to old Russell Wilson,

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 2>albeit a small sample size essentially one half of football

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 2>against the Washington Commanders, and that game is obviously doing

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot of heavy lifting in terms of their season

0:03:58.760 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 2>long production.

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>But if he can do that.

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>If he can recapture that one half of football he

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 2>had against Washington, then the passing game can get back

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>to NFL competency levels. And I think the thinking there

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>for them is a team that's had an excellent defense

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 2>since a certain head coach there built it that way

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>back in twenty nineteen, talking of course about Vic Fangio

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 2>when he acquired Kareem Jackson and drafted Patrick Curtan, Baron Browning,

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Caden Sterens, Jonathan Cooper, and Draymont Jones, all pieces added

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>during the Fangio run, And quite frankly, that's their best

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 2>pass rusher, their best cover guy are gonna be the

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>best cover guy in the entire National Football League, and

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 2>their two best Wilkins and stealer analogs in Cooper and Jones,

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 2>although Jones has been traded to Seattle for Russell Wilson

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 2>since that time.

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>But you get the point.

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>And with all that said, has the window passed that

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 2>defense by because the issue was quarterback play and the

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>offense in the last several years, And of course it's hard

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 2>to win with uncertainty at quarterback, especially when you invest

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 2>a massive contract in several premium draft picks into that

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 2>player currently though twenty third points a lot on defense,

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 2>sixteenth in total defense. If it's too early to say

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 2>the jury is in, which I think it is, but

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>it is a continuation of last year's defense ranking fourteenth

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 2>and scoring despite being seventh and total defense. But I

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 2>think that was more of an indictment of their offense

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 2>being thirty second overall.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>They just could not sustain drives.

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>But in twenty twenty one Vics last year there third

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 2>and points and eighth and total defense. So maybe it

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>has come and gone, and this happens sometimes our two

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>units do not mature at the same time, and it

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of puts you in this limbo in the NFL

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>where between six and eight wins annually. Gosh, don't we

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 2>know that struggle? Again, not saying that's where the Broncos

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 2>are right now, but it looks to me like that's

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 2>where they're headed unless they change course. But I think

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 2>it's an interesting stilly to see how it bears out

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 2>over the next few months here for the Denver Broncos.

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Before we get to know the players and the matchups

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 2>here in this game, how about some of the key storylines.

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there are many here because, like I said,

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 2>we don't play them very often and they're not really

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 2>a team that contends with us at this point. Right now,

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 2>already being two games behind, you can put them three

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 2>and a half games behind with a victory here because

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 2>of the head to head tiebreaker and three games up

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:01.239
<v Speaker 2>in the standing.

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>So the first one to me is the climate change

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>for Denver.

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Not global warming, which is obviously real, and if you

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.359
<v Speaker 2>you know what, let's let's be very back from that.

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.840
<v Speaker 2>The climate change from going to beautiful Denver, Colorado, where

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 2>this week the highs are in the high seventies, which

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 2>is pretty good obviously, but that fifty percent humidity and

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.479
<v Speaker 2>the real feel of like seventy five degrees doesn't quite

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>match up where you're going to get down here, that

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 2>ninety percent humidity on Sunday with a real feel of

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 2>ninety four degrees. Trust me, it hits different. You cannot

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>walk from your car to the gate. I mean, if

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 2>you have the orange parking pass like I do, Whi's

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>about a five hundred foot walk without getting damp in

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 2>your pits, on the back of your knees, on your forehead,

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 2>and everywhere else. How do the dolphins take advantage of that.

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 2>The last time the Broncos played a September game in

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Miami was that two thousand and five season. And if

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>you guys recall that one, I have that VHS tape somewhere.

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 2>I've seen it about thirty five times, and it's getting

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 2>to the point, like saw Goodman's tapes. I watched it

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 2>so many times, that's starting to run out of wear

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.239
<v Speaker 2>and tear. Actually I don't know where it as anymore,

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 2>but you get the idea. But they ran out of

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 2>cornerbacks in that game because of cramping and Marty Booker,

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>mister four to six. Marty Booker ran away from the

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 2>entire defense on a go ball on a sixty yard touchdown.

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Like that tells you how hurting they were in that game.

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>It's also an eleven am body clock game for them,

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>which is a game that teams from the West Coast

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 2>traditionally struggle to play in a three and oh versus

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 2>an oh to three start. It's my next headline here.

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Normally I hate the X percent of teams make the

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>playoffs after a X and X start, Like whatever. The

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 2>truth is that good teams typically start good, and bad

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>teams typically start not good, right, So those numbers can

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of go out the window. But for instance, the

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Chargers are a team like I know they're not a

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 2>bad team despite being oh to two. But when I

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 2>look at the Carolina Panthers at zero to two, I

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>know they're not good and that's why they started zero

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 2>to two. However, the numbers here at three and oh

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 2>are pretty jarring. Since nineteen seventy, seventy six percent of

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.239
<v Speaker 2>teams to start three and oh have made the playoffs,

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 2>including last year's Miami Dolphins. How about this one, though,

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine teams have begun oh to three over the

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 2>last twenty seasons. I don't know why there's a difference

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>in to that span. Maybe it's because of the stat

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine teams zero to three over the last twenty years,

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and just one has made the playoffs, the twenty eighteen

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Houston Texans. It's an urgent game for Denver. We should

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 2>get their best effort, but we also get to come

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>back home. We love this building, don't we home, Sweet

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 2>home baby. We are twelve and two in our last

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>fourteen games at hard Rock Stadium, and surprise, surprise, the

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 2>streak started the moment that Brian Flores stopped thinking that

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Jacoby fucking big Slops Brissett was better than two A

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 2>tongue bay Loo or I guess he was forced to

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>take Slops out of.

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>The game after getting hurt against the Ravens.

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 2>And this team under the guidance of TUA doesn't typically

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 2>lose games they're favored in, So looking forward to that

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 2>trend continuing hopefully. How about Fangio and butch Berry facing

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.839
<v Speaker 2>their former team. So much has changed since Fangio was there,

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.559
<v Speaker 2>but I'm sure he'd like to win this game just

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 2>a little bit excher than usual. Probably the same for

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Barry as well. Who has this Dolphins offensive line playing

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>like one of the best units in the NFL, just

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 2>one sack allowed and coming off a one hundred and

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 2>forty five yard ground attack on Sunday Night football, compared

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 2>to a Denver offensive line who this year has allowed

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 2>the fifth most sacks in the NFL at nine. His

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 2>teaching techniques, I think are really taking hold to this

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins group up front. All right, let's go ahead and

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 2>get our first break in there early and come back

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 2>on the other side. In preview Dolphins offense versus Broncos defense,

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 2>that's next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 2>to you by I don'tation love cooking up some game

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.080
<v Speaker 2>plan ideas and how these matchups might go. As we

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 2>move on to a third preview of the season. I

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>believe I said twenty seven to twenty four Dolphins over Chargers.

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I believe I said twenty eight seventeen over the Patriots.

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Feeling pretty good about how accurate those predictions played out,

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and quite frankly, I think the Dolphins were a lot

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 2>closer to twenty eight seventeen than they were twenty four

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 2>to seventeen in terms of how that game played out.

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 2>But either way, I'm gonna give you a prediction at

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the end of this episode. And here's why I believe

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 2>that in the next twenty or so minutes. So the

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins offense, we know who they are by now, but

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 2>quarterback versus safety to a tongue of I Loo versus

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good trio of safeties back there at least

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.319
<v Speaker 2>the top two guys, Justin Simmons, one of the best

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.839
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL, and Kareem Jackson are their two go

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 2>to guys. Jackson got ejected last week, and we'll get

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 2>a fine we'll not get a suspension after a pretty

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 2>dirty hit on Commander's tight end. Logan Thomas and then

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Turner Yelle was the guy that stepped in. And when

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:19.199
<v Speaker 2>they lost Jackson, their deep passing defense really fell apart

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 2>in that game. Receivers versus corners obviously Hill Waddle, Craycraft,

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 2>easy E, Patrick Sirtan's one of the best in the

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>business to Mary Mathis and then Fabian Moreau played like

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.599
<v Speaker 2>ten snaps total. So they go Sir Tan and to

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Maury Mathis and nobody else in the perimeter in the

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.959
<v Speaker 2>slot Barrios and Smyth versus e saying Bassie. Bassie plays

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 2>about sixty five percent of the snaps there, which is

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 2>according to their nickel defense for the most part. So

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Sir Tan, Mathis and Bassie almost to the tee you

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 2>can predict their role in games. And then Simmons versus

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.839
<v Speaker 2>and Singleton versus Smyth, and the tight ends in the

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 2>passing game. Interior offensive line Win Williams and Hunt have

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 2>been fantastic. They get a nose tackle in DJ Jones

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 2>who plays fifty eight percent and Mike Percelle plays thirty

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 2>two percent. Think of both of those guys as John

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Jenkins esque, just big space eaters who try to occupy

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>a couple of blocks and free up the linebackers to

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>make their plays. Also on the interior, Harris as fifty

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 2>nine percent snap taker. And then Zach Allen is a

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 2>guy that plays eighty five percent of the snaps, a

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>draft hit for the Cardinals who exited via free agency

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>and now is playing here for the Denver Broncos. Off

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the edge. Will it be Armstead or will it be

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Kendall Lamb. Either way, I think you're pretty good. And

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 2>then Austin Jackson up against Jonathan Cooper a sixty eight

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:35.200
<v Speaker 2>percent snap taker, Randy Gregory sixty five, Nick Bonito forty five,

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.679
<v Speaker 2>and then Frank Clark has played just nineteen percent of

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 2>the snaps. And then Josie Jewele is our middle linebacker

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 2>who's played ninety one percent of the snaps, as well

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 2>as Alex Singleton seventy five percent against running backs like

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.200
<v Speaker 2>moster ackman and a chain And obviously you know it's

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 2>a pretty high snap count for those two linebackers. We'll

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 2>find out more about that here in just a moment.

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Their best player on defense besides Sir Tannam my opinion

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 2>is Baron Browning, but hea't on the injury reserve, and

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 2>their number two cornerback On Williams is also out as

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 2>well as safety three Caden Steren's all going to be

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 2>down for this game. Let's go ahead and start through

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 2>on the defensive backfield because I think it's probably the

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 2>matchup that statistics say favor Miami the most. So Williams

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.960
<v Speaker 2>was signed as that cornerback too behind arguably the best

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 2>cornerback in the NFL, and that's who I would take

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 2>I fus string a team today at corner passer ten.

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 3>The second you want to talk about a tough position,

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 3>there's that's why you kind of know by name the

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 3>guys that are the best in the business, and I

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 3>think he's in that category for sure, because I mean

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 3>put it this way, your job is to cover someone

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 3>with your back to the thing you're defending, which is

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 3>the goal line, and you have no idea what they're

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.080
<v Speaker 3>going to do. So you talk about you have to

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:50.200
<v Speaker 3>have certain traits to be able to execute that as

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 3>well as you have to be deliberate in your approach.

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 3>You have to have technique and fundamentals, and you have

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 3>to be patient when you need to be, and aggressive

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 3>when you need to be. So I think you know

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 3>he deserves all the praise he gets. He's a heck

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 3>of player.

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>And so Demary Mathis has been filling into the perimeter

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.719
<v Speaker 2>with Is Sang Bassie and the slot. And Bassie was

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>a guy they cut a couple of years ago and

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>have brought back since then. But Demari Mathis has struggled

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 2>in a big way in that role. Fifteen for seventeen

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 2>are teams targeting him for a bucks seventy eight and

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 2>three touchdowns on just eighty three coverage snaps in that game,

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>like or in those two games, if you can go

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 2>one yard per coverage snap, that's pretty good. Two yards

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 2>is atrocious, and he's over that mark. Terry mcclaurin got

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 2>him four or five for forty five yards and a touchdown.

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Three other receivers got targets and went three for three

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 2>for thirty eight. First Las Vegas, Jacoby Myers had six

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 2>of seven for sixty three and two touchdowns. So pretty

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.439
<v Speaker 2>much everybody has gone after him and found success. Touch

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 2>your rabbit hat this week Tomary Mathis and then Pat

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 2>sertan opposite story two for two seventeen yards against Diami

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Brown last week, just two yards of yak, So he's

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.199
<v Speaker 2>playing a little bit of soft and off for a

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>couple of cheap completions underneath that you don't worry about.

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Versus Las Vegas, DeVante Adams tried him five times, caught

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.319
<v Speaker 2>just two for sixteen. He's also played Tyreek one time

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 2>in his career and held the Cheetah to two for

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty five and had a pick. So Wattle's availability could

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 2>be big here because I mean, I wouldn't go away

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 2>from Tyreek if it's one on one, but I imagine

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 2>that even helps Heartan a little bit.

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>But I would go with that matchup for the Broncos.

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>And if Wattle's available, I mentioned it last week, one

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty yards, he got like eighty six, but

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 2>obviously was banged up and dinged up a little bit

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 2>here and there, and we had some woes that kind of,

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, shut the offense down a little bit in

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 2>the second half. But if Wattle plays in this one,

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I think he's going to electrify the home crowd once again.

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>In the slot.

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Iss Sang Bassie was two for two last week in

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 2>terms of targets and catches both chunk gains against tight ends.

0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if Durham Smyth can get some play in

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 2>that role. They also ran a couple of slot screens

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 2>and he cut both those down for no gain on

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 2>those plays versus Las Vegas two for two for twelve yards.

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 2>So it really teams are going after Mathis and the

0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Broncos cornerbacks and Sirtan and Mathis never go side. Bassie

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 2>exclusively plays there. I'll be curious to see how they

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 2>handle the speed and the weather and if they have

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 2>to utilize more players because we've seen it happen down

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 2>here before where defensive backs have to go get a

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 2>blow or miss an entire series. And if Miami can

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 2>test the depth they have there, it could make for

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 2>another very productive and fruitful day for the Dolphins passing game.

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Upfront, we know they love to blitz. They love it

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>more than anybody else in the NFL.

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>It's advanced Joseph non Negotiable scheme principle, one of the

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 2>top blitz rates annually. Lots of bas with backers in coverage.

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned the two linebackers playing both over seventy five

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 2>percent of the snaps. It's a high number primarily single

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 2>high to insert an extra safety down in the box

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 2>and play that run. So run defense, they add up

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 2>a player in the gap, but it takes away from

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody up top. Will they do that this week and

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 2>then blitz on top of that and play thin in

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 2>the coverage? You're flirting with fire there if you do that.

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 2>So traditionally they play kind of like the Chargers game

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>plan in week number one, And how did that work

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 2>out for them? So maybe you get a little more

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 2>firework style attack compared to last week's efficient, smart, take

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 2>a short profit approach. I was curious to see how

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 2>how effective Joseph's blitzing has been, so I went back

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 2>and found a few things. First off, this year's blitzing

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 2>versus Garoppolo and the opener, he was eight for ten.

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 2>He had two runs, wasn't sacked, so he was forced

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 2>off the spot two times and ran for positive yarders

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 2>for one hundred and eighteen yards, no touchdowns and no picks.

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 2>But was blitz was pressured just four times on twelve blitzer.

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>That's not good. You gotta get home more than that.

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Howell versus the blitz last week was six for eleven,

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 2>one sack and one scramble, seventy seven yards, no touchdowns

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 2>and no picks. He was pressured fifteen times, but he

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 2>holds onto the ball two point nine to one seconds

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.920
<v Speaker 2>on average. It takes most, you know, the Broncos two

0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 2>point six seconds to get there on average. Like, that's

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 2>just a quarterback that's young, doesn't see the field very well.

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 2>And what is Vance Joseph's blitz preference? The answer is yes,

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 2>thirty five percent. Was second. Last year he was third,

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 2>and twenty twenty one at thirty five percent. Again in

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty he was fourth, but at forty percent. So

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 2>he's going to bring the blitz more than one third

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 2>of the time. It's who he is. He will blitz

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 2>two at least one third of the snaps. I also

0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 2>wanted to see how Tua has fired togainst the blitz

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 2>this year, and he's done quite well at twenty one

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 2>for thirty one two hundred and sixty yards, two touchdowns,

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>no picks, zero scrambles, zero sacks. This will not be

0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.159
<v Speaker 2>an effective approach against the Dolphins if they do that,

0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a good night.

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:14.360
<v Speaker 1>If you do that. We'll see if they adjust.

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.479
<v Speaker 2>And finally, I also wanted to see how the Cardinals

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.960
<v Speaker 2>fared against the Niners last year when they blitzed Garoppolo

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:21.919
<v Speaker 2>and Perty, since we know there's a fair deal of

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 2>crossover between the two offenses. Two games against San Francisco,

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.119
<v Speaker 2>their quarterbacks against the blitz were fourteen for seventeen one

0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty three yards, three touchdowns and no picks,

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 2>but there were two scrambles and three sacks twenty two

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 2>total dropbacks. It was just seven blitzes against Garoppolo and

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 2>fifteen against Perty, So maybe maybe there's some sense there

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 2>they won't blitz two of that frequently, but I have

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 2>to see it to believe it. Personnel wise, I mentioned

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 2>the linebackers, right, they are in that thirty four front

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty six percent of the time, that's the highest in

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the NFL in a base defense, and they run a

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.479
<v Speaker 2>four to three eight percent of the time, So they

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.879
<v Speaker 2>are in base thirty four percent of the time. Which

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 2>if they do that against our eleven personnel packages, or

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 2>if we have you know, re can waddle Azukama in

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>the game and line those guys up in the backfield,

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be mismatches in the passing game all day.

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Long.

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.640
<v Speaker 2>I look for Azukama to get some pass game action

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 2>out of the backfield in this one. That's a key

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:11.120
<v Speaker 2>that I think that.

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Min you can exploit here.

0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.119
<v Speaker 2>As you line him up there, you keep him in

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:15.919
<v Speaker 2>that base defense, maybe you motion him to his position

0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.160
<v Speaker 2>where he gets one on one coverage against Alex Singleton,

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 2>and Azukama can make some big plays in the passing game.

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.919
<v Speaker 2>This week, they run their nickel fifty five percent and

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 2>dime eight percent of the time. Now, their coverage rotation

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 2>is pretty stark because pre snap they are single high

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 2>just thirty one percent of the time compared to sixty

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.640
<v Speaker 2>seven percent of the time in too deep, and there's

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.320
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of zero and three cover there, but

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.639
<v Speaker 2>not very often. And they eventually will wheel out and

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.399
<v Speaker 2>play single high and do some man free and some

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.960
<v Speaker 2>zone looks from that single high position. And that's all

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:44.960
<v Speaker 2>seted around Justin Simmons, who's one of the best in

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 2>the entire game. If I'm Tua, I'd be very careful

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 2>about trying to manipulate him. He tends to know what

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 2>you're doing as fast as you know what you're doing,

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.359
<v Speaker 2>so just be careful going after an all pro stafety

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.719
<v Speaker 2>back there in Justin Simmons, just avoiding Simmons and certain

0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I think we'll have this offense flying for big success.

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.879
<v Speaker 2>How about their front seven on defense, Their top bend

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 2>speed power guy is down and Baron Browning he's their

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:08.960
<v Speaker 2>top pass rusher. In general, the style of Russier they

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 2>feature right now is pretty common across the border. I

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.879
<v Speaker 2>should say there's not a lot of uniqueness there. It's heavy,

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 2>heavy end players akin to what the Patriots have. But

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 2>think about New England's sans Matt Judon, because that's kind

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.640
<v Speaker 2>of what Brownings analog is is Matt Judon. But Jonathan

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Cooper low three cone, low vertical, not a very good

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 2>corner speed. He's a two hundred and sixty pound player.

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Zach Allen's two hundred and eighty five pounds, heavy handed,

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:37.439
<v Speaker 2>big motor for days now. Nick Bonito is a forty

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 2>five percent snap taker, but he does lead them with

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 2>five quarterback pressures, and Randy Gregory is also kind of

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>that length juice athlete combo. But their pressure toles this

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:46.920
<v Speaker 2>year have not been good for those guys, but for

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:49.080
<v Speaker 2>anybody really, I mean, their pass rush is not getting home.

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Five for Bonito, four for Cooper, three for Allen, three

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:55.400
<v Speaker 2>for Gregory. Not a lot of pass rushing win rates there.

0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.320
<v Speaker 2>It's good for a pass rush win rate of twenty.

0:19:58.119 --> 0:19:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Eighth in the National Football League.

0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 2>At MG Daniel's Wednesday news conference, we got a great

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 2>little SoundBite from him talking about Butch Berry, the impact

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 2>he's had the Dolphins offensive line, and why he was

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 2>so excited about bringing in the new offensive line coach

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 2>for this season.

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Yo, that was thunder.

0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, let's go ahead and hear from coach

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 2>on Butch Berry.

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:23.200
<v Speaker 3>I was fortunate enough to work directly with Butch and

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:29.560
<v Speaker 3>San Francisco for my last season there, and you know,

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:33.159
<v Speaker 3>you the ins and outs of a season, especially the

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 3>one we had there where you know, we were people

0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 3>were speaking on next year. In the middle of the season,

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 3>we went on a run and then found a way

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 3>to Galvin Eyes and got to the NFC Championship game.

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:51.359
<v Speaker 3>Those that relationship, there's no hiding You kind of know

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 3>what you're gonna get. And after really taking in the

0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:01.639
<v Speaker 3>full or digesting the whole twenty twenty two season, you know,

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 3>I thought he was just what the doctor ordered. I

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.960
<v Speaker 3>think if you ask the players, they would say the

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:11.520
<v Speaker 3>same thing. And it's not because of anything but his

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:17.119
<v Speaker 3>commitment to uh, the task at hand, his commitment to

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 3>the players, and his integrity of his of his position.

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:27.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's relentless, he's uh. I mean, he's sweating

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 3>in a sun hat every day, brings the juice and

0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:34.679
<v Speaker 3>takes it very very serious. So I think the the

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 3>residuals are in the players and you know the I

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 3>commend the whole group for understanding their various roles and

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 3>using each other to maximize all the all their potential.

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 3>And which is you know, this is letter C in

0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 3>the alphabet we have. We have a long way to go,

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:04.080
<v Speaker 3>but it's been very encouraging this far.

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I think Miami matches up well for a couple of

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 2>reasons here. They've been excellent handling the extra rushers, different

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.639
<v Speaker 2>fronts and bluffs and delays and mugged up backers. Just

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a really good singular unit functioning as one. Then if

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Wadle is available, I think it's a mismatch for anybody

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 2>on the back end.

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 1>There that they might see.

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Finally, their off ball linebackers. I mentioned Josie Jewell, He's

0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:24.520
<v Speaker 2>a really good player. Singleton has been there for a

0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:26.720
<v Speaker 2>little while Now, I do wonder if they can match

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:28.639
<v Speaker 2>the speed of my running backs, especially if they do

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 2>align receivers in the backfield to keep that base defense

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 2>out there against if they want to go base against

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:37.119
<v Speaker 2>eleven and that's how they want to play it. I

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 2>just don't think there's many options here for the Denver

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.640
<v Speaker 2>defense to saw this offense down. Personally, but in coverage,

0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 2>teams have gone after those two linebackers fifteen times twelve

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:47.160
<v Speaker 2>completions of Buck twenty six, and they are frequently put

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 2>in position to cover that hook zone. So how they

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:51.919
<v Speaker 2>flow to the outside runs, you know, to kind of

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 2>replace what they want to do. To stack the edge

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:57.400
<v Speaker 2>with those heavy ends, they have to commit linebackers downhill

0:22:57.400 --> 0:22:59.439
<v Speaker 2>to that. But then their ability to get deep drops

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 2>off of that, I don't know if they can do both.

0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I just don't think they match up well. So all

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 2>three areas, I think it's gonna be a struggle. I

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 2>think it's a forty point day for the Miami offense,

0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:11.439
<v Speaker 2>how much with a Broncos score. That's next on the

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 2>other side here of the Draft Time podcast, your host

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. We've done

0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:21.920
<v Speaker 2>the storylines We've done the Broncos history, We've done the

0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins offense versus the Broncos defense. Let's go ahead and

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:28.840
<v Speaker 2>finish up here with the Miami defense against the Broncos

0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 2>offense and their quarterback. Russell Wilson will go up against

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:34.880
<v Speaker 2>a trio of safeties, and I'm curious to see what

0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Jones's workload could look like this week as he

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 2>slowly ramps up to getting back on the field on defense.

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I continue to look at this defense like, if they're

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna play like they did on Sunday night with the

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.000
<v Speaker 2>personnel they have available to them right now, which didn't

0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 2>even include Jalen Phillips. And if you're gonna get Brandon

0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Jones back at some point, you're gonna get Nick Needham

0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:59.440
<v Speaker 2>back at some point. And by the way, Jalen Ramsey

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:01.879
<v Speaker 2>is coming up around the corner as well.

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Have Mercy Man. This team is gonna be so damn good.

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:09.160
<v Speaker 2>They won a game on Sunday night with I would

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:12.359
<v Speaker 2>argue three of their top six players not available in

0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 2>toront Armstead, Jalen Phillips, and Jalen Ramsey. Back to this game,

0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:21.480
<v Speaker 2>receivers versus corners. We know about Howard Cohu Smith, maybe

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 2>some Eli Apple on the perimeter up against Courtland Sutlon

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 2>who played eighty seven percent of the snap so far.

0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Jerry Judy played just one game, which is good for

0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 2>thirty five percent of the workload, and then Brandon Johnson

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:37.920
<v Speaker 2>forty seven percent, Marvin Mims twenty five percent on the interior,

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Eli Apple and Justin Bethel the ones that play in

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 2>there more frequently with some cater Coho, but you know,

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Apple is the one that comes on the field for

0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:49.200
<v Speaker 2>those nickel packages, and Bethel's the dimeback right now. Little

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Humphrey fifty percent of the workload is a slot

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 2>receiver and that's pretty much it. The rest of it

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 2>is ran by their two heavy tight end packages, Adam

0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:01.159
<v Speaker 2>Troutman seventy seven percent and Chris Manhertz thirty five percent

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 2>of their workload there with Greg Dolcich out for the

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:08.240
<v Speaker 2>foreseeable future, as well as receiver Tim Patrick being down

0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 2>on the offensive line, Wilkins, Seeler Davis in hand will

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 2>go up against Ben Powers, Lloyd Cushion Berry and Quinn

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Miners to those guys big draft crushes. The last couple

0:25:18.400 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 2>of cycles here for draft Twitter, I should say off

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 2>the edge Phillips, Chubb, Van Ginkel and Ogba against Garrett

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Bowles and Mike mcglinchy, Jerome Baker and David Long against

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 2>samaj p Rn forty seven percent workload, Javonte Williams forty

0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:39.479
<v Speaker 2>five percent workload, and they have a fullback Burton who

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:41.680
<v Speaker 2>plays fifteen percent of their stap. Let's go ahead and

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:44.400
<v Speaker 2>start in the passing game. In the quarterback, Russell Wilson

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.159
<v Speaker 2>is a big play hunter, but he hasn't stretched the

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:51.879
<v Speaker 2>field consistently and protection has been an issue for whatever

0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 2>team he's played for going back to the last three seasons.

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.680
<v Speaker 2>And sacks are a quarterback stat. Fellas, we agree because

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 2>we've seen this offense play without Tua and this go

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 2>up by like three times with Tua. They never sack

0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback. It's a quarterback stack. Russell Wilson holds the

0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:09.000
<v Speaker 2>ball this season so far three point one five seconds

0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:12.880
<v Speaker 2>on average. It's the second longest in the league behind

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Zack Wilson. And there's a common theme among the quarterbacks

0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 2>in the top five of time to throw.

0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:20.359
<v Speaker 1>They all kind of stink.

0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Wilson, Wilson, Bryce Young, Deshaun Watson, and justin Fields. Five

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 2>of the quarterbacks that have been least productive so far

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:28.959
<v Speaker 2>this season, except for Russell Wilson that actually had some success.

0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:30.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk more about that, but it doesn't stop there.

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Russell's eighteenth and intended air yards at six point nine.

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:36.600
<v Speaker 2>That's the opposite of what you want. Tua has the

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.359
<v Speaker 2>fastest time to throw and the deepest intended air yards

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 2>aka the perfect quarterback. Among the five qbs I mentioned,

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Wilson has the third lowest intended air yards among them.

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Fields is thirty second, Bryce Young is twenty ninth. You

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 2>know a rookie who doesn't know what he's doing yet

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 2>and an underdeveloped veteran in the worst offensive system in

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. And then there's Russell Wilson. Sacks allowed nine

0:26:58.680 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 2>fifth most quarterback.

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 1>It's eighteen. That's the most in the NFL.

0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:04.320
<v Speaker 2>If you watch that game against Washington, the last quarter

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:06.119
<v Speaker 2>of that game, when they're down by eleven, trying to

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:09.679
<v Speaker 2>get back into scoring range or into I guess striking range,

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Wilson was on the ground every single play. I was

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 2>surprised he finished that game. He was getting beat the

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:17.119
<v Speaker 2>hell up. Thirty pressures allowed, also most in the NFL,

0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 2>and Russell also has four scrambles. For the length of

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 2>his career, he's been that style of quarterback and elite

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 2>athletic ability allowed him to thrive doing it. I think

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 2>he's returned a little bit more form in that sense

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:31.840
<v Speaker 2>than he was last year with an offseason regimen that

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 2>shed some pounds and allegedly made him a little bit quicker.

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:36.879
<v Speaker 2>And nobody works as hard as Russell Wilson does, so'll

0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 2>give him credit for what he does to his body

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 2>to train, but I think it's part of the core

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:44.879
<v Speaker 2>issue with Denver with why their offense has struggled so

0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:47.639
<v Speaker 2>much the last season plus two games and now in

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 2>his last game, he moved around a little bit and

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 2>hit those high arcing deep shots that made him quite

0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 2>literally the most efficient quarterback in the history of the

0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 2>league as so far as passer rating and EPA and

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 2>all the metrics that measure that go that favor his

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 2>low volume, high explosivetivity style of play for years. But

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 2>it's a struggle recently and that stems back to his

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:09.920
<v Speaker 2>time in Seattle Lash in twenty twenty.

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 1>One as well.

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned the two bomb touchdowns, he also hit a

0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 2>third pass that was over forty intended air yards plus

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 2>three completions of fifteen plus. So last week was kind

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:22.240
<v Speaker 2>of like an awakening for Russell Wilson. For one half

0:28:22.280 --> 0:28:24.159
<v Speaker 2>against the Washington Commanders, plus one of those is a

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 2>hell Mary, so you no, no, no, but very effective stretching

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:28.639
<v Speaker 2>the field. They missed just three of those balls, so

0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:31.919
<v Speaker 2>five for eight. Throwing the ball vertically. Week one was

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:34.440
<v Speaker 2>a different story. He had two throws at twenty two

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:37.760
<v Speaker 2>and twenty one intended air yards and nothing else over fifteen.

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.200
<v Speaker 2>He completed twenty seven passes, but had just one hundred

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 2>and seventy seven yards on thirty four attempts. It was

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:44.800
<v Speaker 2>dink and dunk. Try to stay on schedule. If you

0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:46.960
<v Speaker 2>do that against Miami, you're going to lose because you

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 2>have to hit explosive plays to match our offense. The

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 2>lack of explosive plays does not offset the twelve point

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:57.200
<v Speaker 2>five sack rate like it does when he hits the

0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 2>big play. So I think you have to get Russ

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:01.680
<v Speaker 2>to the turf one of my keys spoiler, because as

0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 2>a result of the game Sunday, he's now eighth and

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 2>total EPA among quarterbacks. You limit those deep shots and

0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 2>they've struggled to score through the two games when they

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 2>don't get the deep ball. Forty one percent of Wilson's

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>passing yardage is on those four completions of over twenty

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:18.480
<v Speaker 2>yards down the field. The sacks have been drive killers,

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and if you force them to play the whole length

0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:22.880
<v Speaker 2>of the field, you're eventually going to get one. Because

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:26.480
<v Speaker 2>nine sacks this year, they've had twenty three possessions on

0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:29.400
<v Speaker 2>the season. That's like every other drive you get a sack,

0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 2>and they typically end that drive and it's the fifth

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 2>most of the two games. They hit all four of

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 2>those deep shots in Week two and scored thirty three

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 2>including the hill Mary, but in Week one they did

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 2>not hit one of those and they scored just sixteen points.

0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 2>So big play Hunter. Last year, time to throw two

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 2>point nine to four seconds was also near the top

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 2>of the league and twenty plus air yards thirty one

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 2>for seventy.

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Eight and fifty five sacks. That's not a good combination.

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Twenty twenty one time to throw two point seven to

0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 2>eight a little bit faster but less effective down the

0:29:57.680 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 2>field twenty nine for seventy five thirty four sacks. The

0:30:01.400 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 2>proof is in the pudding limit the deep balls. That's

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 2>going to be a key. I think Javon Holland and

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Deshaun Elliott really clicked last week in terms of their shortstop,

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:11.640
<v Speaker 2>second basement chemistry they displayed.

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Holland was all over.

0:30:13.080 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 2>The field making plays in the box against the run

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 2>TfL and I think both of them covered super well.

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:20.479
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the Stoneman can get on the board here with

0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 2>his first pick of the season, because I think that

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Russell's going to try the deep shots regardless of whether

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 2>they're out there there, and I think the way he

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>throws those high arcing shots, I think Holland could get

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:29.680
<v Speaker 2>his hands on a couple of those.

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a couple of picks for Holland.

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:33.560
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of my defensive prediction this week. Holland gets

0:30:33.560 --> 0:30:35.680
<v Speaker 2>his hands on a football for at least one pick.

0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 2>How about how they protect Russell Wilson. Let's go pressures, hits,

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 2>sacks allowed here for Garrett Bowles five pressures, no hits

0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 2>in a sack, Powers, seven pressures, a hit and no sacks.

0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Cushion Barry clean sheet hasn't allowed anything so far at

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the center position, Quinn Minor. It's the right guard two

0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 2>pressures a hit and no sacks. And how about Mike

0:30:56.880 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 2>McGlinchey twelve pressures, three hits and two sacks.

0:30:59.640 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Yike.

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:02.800
<v Speaker 2>It makes me curious the game plan because the timely

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 2>blitzes and then just counting on for the majority of

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:09.360
<v Speaker 2>the game JP or Geek or Chubb or Wilkins or

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Sealer to win these one on ones. I think it's

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 2>a great option to have against a group that I

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 2>don't think can handle a lot of these guys one

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.120
<v Speaker 2>on one. But I also wonder how much you press

0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the issue on the outs on the inside, because it

0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 2>might be a good time to maintain Vic's classic you know,

0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 2>four to six eight coverage concepts, quads, quarter quarter, a

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.480
<v Speaker 2>half quarter, a half quarter, but maybe play more bump

0:31:29.520 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 2>and run on the outside and force Wilson to kind

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 2>of second guests and get off that first and second

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.920
<v Speaker 2>read again, they paid big money to McGlinchey and Powers

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 2>this offseason, and I'm also old enough to recall when

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Twitter wanted to spend all of our money on those

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 2>two guys, while Lynn, Lamb and Win have been really

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 2>good so far. To be fair, I was interested in McGlinchey,

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 2>but not at that price, and it just hasn't begun

0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:55.080
<v Speaker 2>well for them. Washington got after all day. I think

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Montes Sweat is similar in his play style to Phillips.

0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 2>If he can go this week and chase you to

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Bradley Chubb. I think both players combinations of speed and

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 2>power could afford them opportunities as Bowles and McGlinchey are

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 2>slow plotter tackles, and that makes me think about, you know,

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Van Ginkle getting some pass rush reps against Bulls too,

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 2>because I'm not taking JP off the field, but if

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 2>they can't deal with speed, JP and Geink is a

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:20.719
<v Speaker 2>good combination. Now, Cushion Barry's played really well anchoring inside

0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:23.560
<v Speaker 2>in the middle, but you can work on the inexperience playing.

0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Together for those two guys or all three of those

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 1>guys new.

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Position for minors, first three games for Powers at left

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:30.719
<v Speaker 2>guard for the Broncos, and then Cushion Barry just being

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:32.560
<v Speaker 2>a relatively new player, but the three of them have

0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:33.720
<v Speaker 2>not played together for very long.

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Washington ran Payne and Allen.

0:32:36.960 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 2>At Powers with power all game long, and they got

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:41.280
<v Speaker 2>consistent pushback on him.

0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Seiler as strong as hell.

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I could see that being a key matchup there because Seiler,

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:47.360
<v Speaker 2>I think with the length and power, can really give

0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 2>powers all he can handle. He struggled through two games,

0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:52.880
<v Speaker 2>and look, nobody loves Javonte Williams at running back more

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 2>than I do. But he's still not one hundred percent

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 2>back from that knee injury. He's not moving as fast,

0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 2>and I think they overall he lacks the that the

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Broncos in general lack the juice in the backfield that

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:05.280
<v Speaker 2>could allow us to pay a little bit less attention

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 2>and take some focus off that and focus on the

0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 2>quarterback scramble with more zone coverage and more deep portion

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 2>defending with two high structures, Williams averaging just two and

0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:18.200
<v Speaker 2>a half yards after contact pee Ryan at three point three.

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:20.760
<v Speaker 2>They've run for just seven to first downs in two games.

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Outside.

0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Sutton's a big body who can get vertical. He plays

0:33:24.200 --> 0:33:26.960
<v Speaker 2>almost exclusively on the outside and has the body type

0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 2>and the game or the tile of game that traditionally

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 2>we see X match up with with physicality and forwarding

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback just seeing the one on one matchup and

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 2>chucking up a jump ball like don't do that against X.

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Sutton's made forty six of one h two contested catches

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 2>in his career The only year he was over two

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 2>yards per route ran, though, was a season where he

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 2>played one game and had six targets.

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>He's just not that productive of a.

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Player since then, averages one point four to seven yards

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:55.360
<v Speaker 2>per target. His separation stats tell the story of his game,

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 2>three yards average separation and an intended air yards of eleven.

0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:01.640
<v Speaker 2>To make it simple, he's DeVante Parker. They run vertical

0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 2>routes and chuck single coverage balls to him and hope

0:34:04.360 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 2>he makes a play.

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Johnson is similar.

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 2>He has one grab for sixteen before the hell Mary catch,

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:12.320
<v Speaker 2>which I don't count as like a evaluation metric. Judy's

0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:14.200
<v Speaker 2>the big one. I think he's a smooth route runner,

0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and I think the matchup here could be and should

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 2>be with Kter Kohu, who is the smoothest among our

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:21.319
<v Speaker 2>cornerbacks with the best feet. Judy was in his first

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:22.879
<v Speaker 2>game back from a hamstring and it did not look

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 2>good for him. He had the lowest Week two wide

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:27.759
<v Speaker 2>receiver separation at a total of one point six yards

0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:33.840
<v Speaker 2>average separation. So Wilson on design and nonscripted runs scrambles.

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:36.080
<v Speaker 2>This is the big one. I imagine we'll shell it

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and keep eyes on Russell Wilson. Is this a game

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:41.240
<v Speaker 2>where Channing Tendall gets some action to match the speed

0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 2>inside or does David Long do some spying? Curious see

0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:46.040
<v Speaker 2>what happens there. Let's go ahead and talk about some

0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:51.800
<v Speaker 2>additional personnel groupings and number usage here for them. Eleven

0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:54.959
<v Speaker 2>personnel fifty three percent of the time, twelve personnels twenty

0:34:54.960 --> 0:34:56.200
<v Speaker 2>six percent of the time. That's a lot of two

0:34:56.200 --> 0:34:58.239
<v Speaker 2>tight end sets out there. They have the full backs

0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:01.000
<v Speaker 2>of twenty one groupings is five percent. They run some

0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:03.279
<v Speaker 2>ten which is one tight end or one running back,

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:06.319
<v Speaker 2>no tight ends, four receivers, that's five percent, and they

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:08.800
<v Speaker 2>go heavy two backs, two tight ends five percent as well.

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 2>So a good variation there for them, which we kind

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 2>of learned that last week with the New England Patriots.

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:15.719
<v Speaker 2>And then some additional defensive numbers here. They allow a

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:19.160
<v Speaker 2>sixty three percent rush rate success with negative six point

0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:21.719
<v Speaker 2>four EPA and they play two high and negative four

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:23.440
<v Speaker 2>point seven with one high, so you can run the

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 2>ball on this team as well. Passing allowing six point

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:29.359
<v Speaker 2>two touchdown percentage touchdown rate and just a five point

0:35:29.440 --> 0:35:32.080
<v Speaker 2>eight percent sack rate and a one point five percent

0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I int rate they are team EPA is minus twenty

0:35:35.560 --> 0:35:38.800
<v Speaker 2>point seven. That's thirtieth the same rank against passing thirtieth

0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 2>EPA and rushing in the middle of the pack is sixteen.

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:43.520
<v Speaker 2>So defense has been a struggle for them. And finally

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:45.880
<v Speaker 2>my three keys. Number one beat the blitz. Two of

0:35:45.960 --> 0:35:48.680
<v Speaker 2>versus the blitz is great. Joseph does not tend to

0:35:48.680 --> 0:35:51.759
<v Speaker 2>get home with his blitz heavy defense unless he executes

0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 2>a tenancy breaker that he literally never has in his career,

0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and I think this will be a big key in

0:35:55.920 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 2>the game that mine he can exploit up and down

0:35:57.520 --> 0:36:01.040
<v Speaker 2>the field. Number two limit Denver's d deep passing production.

0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Wilson's a big play hunter with high efficiency when he

0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:06.440
<v Speaker 2>can hit deep balls on scrambled drills. Second longest time

0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:08.880
<v Speaker 2>to throw in the NFL and the highest sackery at

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:11.719
<v Speaker 2>twelve point five percent. The sacks are drive killers. Force

0:36:11.800 --> 0:36:13.400
<v Speaker 2>him to play the whole length of the field. Eventually

0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get one. Nine sacks this year on Russell Wilson,

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:18.640
<v Speaker 2>fifth most in two games. Number three tackle Russell Wilson.

0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:21.680
<v Speaker 2>He's handled pressure pretty well. Twelve for nineteen, one hundred

0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 2>and forty six yards, three touchdowns and a passer rating

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:25.920
<v Speaker 2>of one twenty six point three when you cannot get

0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:29.239
<v Speaker 2>to him, but also nine sacks, but also four scrambles

0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:31.600
<v Speaker 2>thirty nine yards in addition to three designed runs for

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:34.080
<v Speaker 2>eighteen yards, so seven for fifty seven on the ground.

0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:36.799
<v Speaker 2>Limit his running, stop his deep passing, get him on

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:39.120
<v Speaker 2>the ground and you'll be in good shape. Some areas

0:36:39.160 --> 0:36:41.759
<v Speaker 2>to exploit lack of depth at cornerback. We mentioned that

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:44.239
<v Speaker 2>and a blitz happy defense that sneaks bodies up to

0:36:44.239 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 2>the line. Scrimmage play single highest see what happens areas

0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:48.839
<v Speaker 2>of concern for me. It's just the quarterback running game.

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a great matchup from Miami. We don't

0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:52.960
<v Speaker 2>give up the deep game. I don't think they have

0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the balance and horses to threaten us in the ground

0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:56.719
<v Speaker 2>game the way the Chargers did. I think we can

0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:59.840
<v Speaker 2>turn this quarterback over and post a big total wattles

0:36:59.840 --> 0:37:02.200
<v Speaker 2>of bailability is the other concern I have over the

0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:05.440
<v Speaker 2>quarterback run game. But I am seeing this one shakeout

0:37:06.800 --> 0:37:10.359
<v Speaker 2>forty four twenty four in favor of the good guys,

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:12.279
<v Speaker 2>and we continue to have another fun week talking about

0:37:12.280 --> 0:37:14.560
<v Speaker 2>how great this offense is. I just think they're gonna

0:37:14.560 --> 0:37:16.399
<v Speaker 2>be playing from behind so often they can get enough

0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:18.920
<v Speaker 2>points like twenty four to make it look respectable. But

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't expect it to look that way when you

0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:22.719
<v Speaker 2>watch this game. All right, that's gonna be my time

0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:26.200
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow on the podcast, my guest from ESPN Denver, Jeff Legwall.

0:37:26.840 --> 0:37:30.399
