Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.280 Now, let me check your pulse if. 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:44.760 What is up? 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.480 Dolph fans and welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:52.080 of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:53.680 Miami Dolphins. 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.080 How's it going to everybody? 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.240 I am your host, Travis Wingfield, And on tonight's show, 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.600 we're feeling pretty good at say, another opportunity for a 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.920 victory Monday, and y'all know what time that means. It is. 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.880 It's time to celebrate a victory here on the Draft 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.440 Time Podcast, twenty four to seven teams Dolphins win for 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.200 the second consecutive week. They now have back to back 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.919 wins to open a season. For the second consecutive season, 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.119 for the first time since two thousand and one, two 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.959 thousand and two. I think that's pretty special. I think 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.760 it's pretty special to get two consecutive victories on the 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.040 road to open your campaign. And remember, because of the 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.280 Germany game and two road games in the books, Miami 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.919 only has five true road games remaining, with nine games 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.640 at hard Rock Stadium on the schedule. Still, we're gonna 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.280 break down this game tonight though, Dolphins over the Patriots. 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.080 We'll hear from Tuatngo bai Loa, We'll hear from Mike McDaniel. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.400 We'll do five takeaways, tell the story of the game, 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.000 the stats to play before the play, and much much 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.880 more from the Baptist Hell Studios inside the Baptist Health 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:57.840 Training Complex. This is the Draft Times, that's Miami Dolphins. Well, 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.760 we are feeling ourselves tonight after the Dolphins get their 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.760 second consecutive win, and before I get into the game 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.600 story in stats, I was looking at my storylines after 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.120 the fact and they kind of. 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.239 Bared some fruit here. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.639 First off, I was curious how would the offensive line 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.160 do after that first week performance with Tron Armstead potentially 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.600 out again, and he was out in this game. And 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.160 how did Kendall Lamb play well. Lamb had a bunch 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.840 of really good blocks, minimal pressure, and the Dolphins only 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.359 allowed one sack in this game, which means two was 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.880 being sacked a half time every single game. One sack 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.320 in two games. I believe the quarterback hits number was 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.480 very low. It was at zero in the first half. 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.040 I do not have an update for you on that, 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.200 but I'll get that for you guys on the Tuesday 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.040 podcast because well it's late here, or I should say 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.239 early on a Monday morning. And then how would the 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.600 Dolphins fill in the Zealand Phillips role if he was 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.520 not available? Well, Andrew Van Ginkle gives you that answer. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.760 We'll talk more about that here in just a moment. 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.200 How would the Dolphins attack this Patriots defense? Would they 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.040 doubled Tyreek Hill? Would they bracket him and create opportunities 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.280 for other folks? Thought that played out pretty well in 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.840 terms of how the Dolphins atacked this Patriot's attack. And 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.440 then how could Miami attack a offensive line of the 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.240 Patriots who was down a couple of players, most notably 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.840 their left tackle Trent Brown and then of course Riley 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.320 reef the right tackle on ir and I think that 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.920 Miami kind of checked all those boxes as you go 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.080 down the list. Let's go ahead and talk though about 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.040 the stats here before we get into our story of 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.639 the game or guess how the game played out. As 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.560 we go along the first segment here off the top 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:29.120 team statistics, Miami really kind of you know dominated, I 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.440 would say for the majority of this game. The Patriots 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.040 did have one more first down twenty three to twenty two. 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.160 They were more efficient on third down seven for fifteen 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.960 compared to Miami's four for ten, But the Dolphins out 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.040 gained in them by more than one hundred yards three 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.840 eighty nine to two eighty eight. They outpassed them two 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.960 forty four to two hundred, and they out rushed them 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.920 one forty five to eighty eight. That's on ten less 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.600 plays as well, sixty one to seventy one in favor 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.400 of the Patriots, and total plays ran. Miami turned it 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.400 over once. The Dolphins turned over the Patriots twice. They 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.680 also sacked Mac Jones four times compared to the aforementioned 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.360 single sac on to a tongue by Loa. The Patriots 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.720 penalized five times for forty five yards, Miami six for 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.160 forty six, and the Dolphins possessed the ball for thirty 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.360 minutes and nineteen seconds, which obviously gives you the Patriots 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:17.400 twenty nine fourteen. Miami also averaged six point four yards 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.200 per play. That's right in line with where they were 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.640 a season ago, and that was second in the NFL 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.520 coming off a game last week where they were even 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.760 higher than that. They were at seven yards per play 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.720 in the first half of this game, and man, what 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.279 a crazy contest this was. Is Miami not slow out 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:33.760 of the gates. They went down the field and kicked 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.760 an opening drive field goal eleven and thirteen play drives, 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.279 and that's kind of where the story of the game 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.479 lines up. We'll get to this in the takeaways as well, 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.479 in terms of how Miami attacked this thing from a 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.000 philosophical standpoint. Actually, let's go ahead and start here with 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.039 this sound from coach McDaniel and coach and quarterback to 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.640 a tongue by Loa, who both addressed how the Patriots 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.279 played it and how the Dolphins had to respond to 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.040 the Patriots plan of attack in this game. 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:03.279 We definitely didn't assume that what was on tape thus 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.040 far this season was going to be everything that we 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:10.880 were going to get. That was a it was a 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:17.840 unique game plan that you know, I think guys did 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.120 a pretty solid job of adjusting to the weird spots 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:25.160 that the guys were in. And then, you know, I 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.120 was happy with a lot of stuff that Tua did, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:37.560 you know, But I think that that forced throw to 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:43.320 two Tyreek in the second half is something that he 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.040 was trying to win the game after a couple of 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.599 frustrating drives, and that's something you have to learn from, 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:53.680 you know, you don't force the hand, you know. But overall, 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:58.920 I was really happy with how he bounced back from 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.600 things that you know, I know, frustrate him anytime he's 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:07.400 off on any sort of throw. You know, in the past, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:13.760 you know that frustration is really led into multiple drives 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.000 and and you know, there was one drive in the 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:21.880 first half. Was it the first or second half where 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.039 he I think it was the first one of the 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.359 first drives in the second half, I can't remember, but 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:32.320 he had a couple throws that he would have liked 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.320 to have back, one to Tyreek and one to Jalen 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:39.720 Waddel down the field consecutively. But it speaks to where 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.800 he's at in his game, because I thought he came 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.920 back from that. We had some operations stuff that will 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.760 we'll need to clean up. You know. There's that's the 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.479 whole point, and that what I talked to the team 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.360 about all the time is it's a journey. It's a 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.960 journey of getting better. So your best football is in December. 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.880 So when you're able to not play entirely or clean 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:08.320 at football and get to win, you embrace that and 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.160 we'll look forward to get better from it. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.000 The Patriots obviously came out in the second half and 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.240 had a pretty good adjustment for a Dolphins offense that, 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.040 like I said, averaged over seven yards per play in 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.080 that first half in two hundred and thirty four total 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.880 yards in the first half. Cook and ride along once again, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.760 but propped to New England for coming out in the 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.440 second half and really giving the Dolphins some fits on 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.640 certain drives, a couple of three and outs, but some 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.200 mistakes as well. Obviously the interception that you heard coach 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.520 talk about there and Tua kind of trying to force 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.480 that one in which went away from the script that 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.000 I thought he followed pretty well all night long. To 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.480 take the profit take the short stuff, take what's there. 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.320 And if you go look at two US passing chart, 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.560 how often did I talk about this in training camp, 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.680 how Miami was finding ways to be more widespread as 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.000 an offense, whether it's the running game, whether it's taking 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.040 shots in the short intermediate field that the perimeter throws 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.800 that we saw to a make all training camp, all preseason, 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.440 and now in the two games in the regulars season, 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.880 if you go look at his next gen throwing chart, 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.080 stat like, there is almost nothing in the middle of 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.160 the field. So props to the Patriots for taking away 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.480 Miami's bread and butter. But props on top of the 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.400 props to the Dolphins for adjusting and finding a way 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.480 to get multiple ways to win games on offense and 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.600 as a team in general, which we'll talk about here 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.440 in just one second, but before I go to tua 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.960 on Bill Belichick and the way this Patriots defense plays 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.600 so tough, which, by the way, in games started by 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.960 two a tongue of Biloa, the Dolphins are five and 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.239 l against the Patriots and Bill Belichick, and they're twenty 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.520 three and thirteen in general in games started by too 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.040 a tongue of I looa. But My note is this 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:41.080 because you know, the Patriots have their offense has not 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.400 ranked as highly in recent years as it used to. 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.760 And while you know that maybe is a little bit 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.120 nicer than what things used to be facing a certain 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.840 quarterback and head coach combination they once had with the 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:55.120 weapons they once had, I'm ready for this defensive mastermind 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.280 to not be part of our lives two times a 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.800 year because Bill Belichick once again crafted up a really 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.240 good adjustment at halftime to kind of slow the Dolphins 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.040 offense in a way that we haven't seen in quite 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.640 some time with this quarterback at the controls. So I 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.400 want to go ahead and play some audio here from 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.440 Tua talking about how that defense adjusted to the Dolphins 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.400 offense before we get to our game story. Here's QB 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.120 one victorious twenty four to seventeen to a tongue of 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:19.520 Bai Lowa after the game. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:24.760 You know, that's that's really a big, big thing I 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.360 would say for any Bill Belichick defense. When they're going 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.400 out there, you know, you can see one thing, and 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.000 then if you hit an explosive or something happens on 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.920 that you can expect something to change in that instance. 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.440 And so how they defended one of our plays towards 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.400 the ending of the game. Wasn't how they defended it 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:50.440 the first three four times they got they got adjusted. 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.440 We got a call and we were able to go 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:53.960 down there. 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:55.920 And there was a play in the game that seth 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.120 OJ and I. We watched the game together before our 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.640 post game show on local radio down here in South Florida, 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.800 and there was a play where Tua got through the 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.120 entire field and kind of scanned his whole read and 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.320 then went to the running back and was looking like 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.440 he might throw it to the running back, but he 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.800 checked and double pumped and went elsewhere with the football 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.240 and actually ran for positive yardage. And we were like, 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.640 that's the adjustment from a year ago that maybe you 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.520 didn't see as much, where he was able to process 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.440 what he was seeing in real time and really make 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.800 a good decision right there. Not that he didn't last year, 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.280 but we thought it was a different level of processing 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.520 in football IQ within that moment. 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:30.440 So good stuff there. 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.160 We're gonna hear more from those two guys here in 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.439 a moment on our five takeaways portion of the podcast. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.439 Let's go ahead and get into the game story here, 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.880 because it began on defense and who boy, this Dolphins 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:41.960 defense man, they played their hearts out in this game. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.120 You get a couple of first downs from the Patriots 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:45.839 to kick off the game, but you get a quick 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.560 punt after that because David Long and we saw the 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.040 Blitz have big impacts in the game last week against 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.600 the Chargers, especially in those late game situations, trying to 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.640 stop Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense from mounting a 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.120 comeback late in that game. And we saw Miami go 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.720 back to the well on the opening drive with David 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.839 Long and a little green dog Blitz where he runs 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.240 in there and gets a big hit on the quarterback 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.760 to finish him up. And they originally awarded half of 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.760 a sack to Bradley Chubb on that play, who had 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.040 himself a hell of a game, but David Long showing 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.880 some downhill explosiveness getting a sack to get the Patriots 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.160 offense off the field right away. And then we talk 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.320 about the Dolphins offense doing what they do best, just 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.400 getting down the field time and time again, really efficient operation, 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.320 passing game, running game, and I thought it was again 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.800 going back to the Belichick defense and the Patriots defense 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.720 attack for Miami to just be so sure fired in 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.040 the short and perimeter passing game to get fly sweeps 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.640 going to find different options to get the running game 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.960 and passing game going. I thought was a good example 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.959 of vertical and horizontal stretch to put the ball really 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.920 all the way down the field quickly and efficiently, before 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.120 we once again get into an area that through two 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.760 games has been a bit of a rough patch, and 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.440 that's the low red zone. Now Miami's scoring points, which 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.480 is great, but there's points to be had that are 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.240 out there. So after a couple of running plays don't 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.040 go for much or at one running player, then an 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.480 incomplete pass, you get a throw away on third and 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.839 five from the third and goal from the five yard 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.040 line where the snap is low. Tua has a hard 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:12.920 time corralling it, and I think he might have had 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:16.000 Brax and Barrios to the front Pilon, but he opts 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.000 wisely to throw the ball over everybody's head, get rid 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.240 of it. Fight to live another day, or live to 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.000 fight another day. And we've seen that a couple times 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:24.840 from Tua now, which I think is a good takeaway 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.000 as well, to preserve his health and make sure we 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.640 have him here for seventeen consecutive games, which this would 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.360 be you know, we see this team can be when 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.560 he's out there. I thought that opening drive was a 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.160 good mix of how wellis offense has played a little 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.080 bit of the things that have plagued them, the quarterback 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.520 center exchange issue, the low red zone execution, and then 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.720 Tua being smart with the football and protecting himself. Then 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.240 I thought one of the biggest moments of the game 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.920 was the Dolphins response as the Patriots were responding to 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.640 the Dolphins opening drive. And it just looks like we 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.120 see it every single day in training camp. And that's 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.360 why I love doing this job comprehensively and bringing you 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.360 guys all the camp reports, all the preseason action to 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.040 carry over into the regular season because you can learn 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.240 the entire story of the team from July twenty sixth 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.120 or whenever the first day of practice is all the 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.760 way up till you know, January, hopefully in the postseason, 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.959 hopefully into February, where these stories interconnect and we every 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.360 day in practice. Christian Wilkins, Jalen Phillips, Bradley Chubb, you 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.199 name it. They get their gassers in, they condition unlike 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.520 anybody really on the football team that I see, and 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.559 I think they need to because those guys play in 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.800 positions where typically you don't get major high snap counts. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.840 But all these dudes go out there and play fifty 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:36.440 sixty snaps a game. And Bradley Chubb to be a 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.440 defensive lineman and a receiver, a slot receiver, catches the 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.840 ball down the field to retrace that thing, and for 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.800 guys to come down and force him to, you know, 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.480 make moves and bubble and run around. For Bradley Chubb 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.640 to show the effort and have the conditioning to get 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.040 down there and strip that ball from the backside was 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.079 kind of a game shifter at that point. And just 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.360 the way he did that, and then for Deshaun Elliott 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:56.720 to rake in there and get it away from the 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.960 Patriots player, really good stuff. Really good application of training 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.959 camp coming to life in the regular season. And off 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.400 of that, the Dolphins march seventy three yards to make 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.600 it ten to nothing with a touchdown. And I thought 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.680 that Tua's throw to Brax and Barrios on the back shoulder, 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.480 moving up off the spot, a little bit off structure, 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.480 off script, in between two Patriots defenders, kind of that 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.560 honey hole we talk about in that cover two look 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.440 really pretty jerk route slash like jerk to wheel that 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.400 Braxon Barrios ran balls right there, hits it, big play, 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.520 puts them down in gold to go, and then the 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.880 Fins capitalized with the Raheem Moster first touchdown run of 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.720 the night and eight yard rush. And the Dolphins on 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.880 this drive as well, had a big screen to wallow 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.400 for twenty seven yards on second and nineteen. That play 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.960 was from the plus forty three yard line. That I think, 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.720 you know, if we can add the screen element into 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.720 our offensive attack, it's only going to make us more 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.200 and more dangerous. So really cool to see the Dolphins 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.240 have a variety of ways. You know. Savon Achman had 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.240 to carry for a first down on second and seven 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.760 where he broke some tackles. Isaiah Winn had a big 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.000 block on that wattle screen at Tyreek's all over the formation, 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.760 lining up with the wide position, going across the formation 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.000 in motion, just to really befuddle the Patriots early on, 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.200 and they were doing that ten to nothing early on 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.600 in the game. They go back and get another Patriots punt, 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.320 another green dog blitz from David Long once again another 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.520 quarterback hit, Andrew Van Ginkle gets a quarterback hit, Cater 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.760 Kohu beat a block and shut down screen pass for 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.080 a loss. So the guys are coming out fired up, 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.440 ready to play this game. Defense certainly looked like they 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.640 had something to prove in this one as well. Then 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.200 the Patriots defense responded as they are wont to do 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.680 with a three and out forced on the Dolphins. And 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.320 you're gonna hear McDaniel talk about this. Maybe he already 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.920 did in that first SoundBite actually with Tua getting frustrated. 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.520 I'm pretty sure this was the possession he was talking 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.160 about where Tyreek was kind of in a triangle of 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.680 Patriots defenders and Tua put it in the spot between 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.360 all three of them, and it kind of looked like 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.240 Tyreek had outran the window and Chris Collins were set 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.920 as much on the incompletion. Then had a deep shot 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.760 to Jaylen Waddle where it looked like defensive pass interference, 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:57.800 but either way, the ball was a little bit shortened 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.120 and just off the mark in terms of the accuracy, 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.000 and so the Dolphins get it back to the Patriots, 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.160 who go down and get themselves a field goal. And 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.200 this was a Patriots plan of attack all night long, 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.440 and I think the Dolphins defense executed. 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.760 Their game plan really well to create this. 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.240 Because the Patriots want to play these methodical long drives. 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.120 Stole the ball short of the sticks. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.720 You know, last week the Patriots threw the ball down 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.160 the field like barely at all. They threw something like 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.880 twenty passes at over the hind line of scrimmage tonight. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.560 I think mac Jones was four at the end of 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.240 the third quarter. He was ozer for seven trying to 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.320 throw the ball vertically with the pick, and I don't 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.440 think he got one after that either. Again, we'll update 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.320 stats on the Tuesday podcast. 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:34.240 But the type of. 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:35.800 Game plan the Patriots want to play, we talked about 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.040 it all the time limit possessions. It's the two minute 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.920 warning of the first half. Miami had the ball just 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.560 three times. The Patriots go down kick a field goal 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.000 after nearly getting an interception from Deshaun Elliott driving on 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.480 a play after rayqwon. Davis had made a bunch of 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.240 plays to stack their running game up and put them 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:51.520 into a third nine situation. 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.240 Elliott drives gets the breakup field goal. 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.000 Dolphins get the ball back, and they do the old 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.560 fashioned double dip at least the opportunity to do that 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.360 with a touchdown drive where they get a touchdown pass 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.719 from Tua to Tyreek Hill, his third touchdown catch of 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.480 the year. But we had a nice third and one 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.600 conversion with Raheem Moster where Connor Williams got out in 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.720 space and made a huge block to create some space 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.720 for Moster to convert. There, Tua gets Craik Craft for 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.080 back to back big plays for first downs. Then he 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.159 has Barrios to put him in scoring range, and then 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.639 the beautiful design to the motion smythe away from the 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.040 strength and that creates a one on one situation for 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.000 Kyle Duggar, who's an all world player, but one on 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.080 one with inside leverage against Tyreek Hill, easy pitching catch 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:32.840 for a touchdown. They're just a lot to deal with. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.520 As the Dolphins take a seventeen to three leads a halftime, 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.719 then you get a three and out, and this might 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.679 have been where Michael was talking about the frustration as well, 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.400 because we missed a couple of plays and throws. Here. 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.640 They get a sack on the third downplay that winds 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.960 up pushing the Dolphins into a punting situation, but he 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.359 immediately get a return punt from the Patriots and the 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.240 Dolphins go down. It looks like they might put the 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.920 game within a three score lead. That could effectively kind 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:55.720 of put it on ice. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:56.520 I know it's never. 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.919 Officially over, but you feel if you can do that, 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:00.680 maybe you have a chance to really put it on ice. 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:01.800 With the defensive. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.920 Performance where the Dolphins just continued to take advantage of 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.000 what was there. You know, Eric Azukama had a nice 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.720 run on this drive where he was able to turn 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.120 a third and possibly eleven on a swing route into 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.280 a third and three because he broke a tackle. Then 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.520 Tua found Tyreek on a stick, which I just love 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.439
