Speaker 1: You were listening to the Miami Dolphins podcast Network. This
Speaker 1: is Drive Time with Travis Winfield. Back to throw to
Speaker 1: a looking gipsilka wade open, touchtop, click call, unbelievable, just
Speaker 1: blue fire for a second time. Don't know where he
Speaker 1: was going right away to hit of that man. I
Speaker 1: want to help you soon up on his bandway wattle,
Speaker 1: waddle to a shotguns, back to throw, looking SUPs, up fires,
Speaker 1: touchtop again, it's waddle. It's six touchdowns Paris this day,
Speaker 1: Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. Now let me check
Speaker 1: your pulse. If none of them? What is up? Dolphins?
Speaker 1: And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part of the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins podcast Network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: How's it going? Everybody? I know how it's going, but
Speaker 1: I am your host, Travis Winfield. And on today's show,
Speaker 1: a tough loss in the Meadowlands, the Dolphins fall forty
Speaker 1: to seventeen to the rival up in the a f
Speaker 1: C East one of the five takeaways. And here from
Speaker 1: head coach Mike McDaniel from the Baptist Health Studios inside
Speaker 1: the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drive Time Podcast.
Speaker 1: So a day most of us, as Dolphins fans, would
Speaker 1: like to forget, as the Dolphins dropped one to the
Speaker 1: Jets forty to seventeen, and a game that I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody saw coming. The War of Attrition certainly stacked
Speaker 1: up on us. Let's go ahead and get to the
Speaker 1: stats here, as we do every single week on the podcast, Miami. Look,
Speaker 1: this game wasn't that lopsided. The Dolphins had nineteen first
Speaker 1: down Jets had twenty one, five of eleven. On third
Speaker 1: downs for the Jets, Miami four of eleven. Both teams
Speaker 1: failed to convert on fourth down Miami oh for two,
Speaker 1: the Jets o for one. The Jets had three d
Speaker 1: and twenty two yards of offense Miami to the Dolphins
Speaker 1: one through the air, one seven on the ground to
Speaker 1: New York's one eighties seven through the air and one
Speaker 1: thirty five on the ground. Miami did run six more
Speaker 1: plays than the New York Jets, sixty two to fifty six.
Speaker 1: The turnovers two from Miami and done for the Jets,
Speaker 1: two sacks from Miami, two sacks for the Jets. The
Speaker 1: Dolphins eleven penalties for one oh two the Jets five
Speaker 1: for one oh five, and time possession was just a
Speaker 1: minute apart, twenty nine oh two to thirty fifty eight,
Speaker 1: So close game all the way to the fourth quarter, right,
Speaker 1: you kind of saw it turning point there as the
Speaker 1: Jets put up three consecutive touchdowns after the Dolphins missed
Speaker 1: the field goal that would have put them ahead with
Speaker 1: just over thirteen minutes to play in that fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: After a good answer to the Jets after they go
Speaker 1: up nineteen to seven, Dolphins get a touchdown at the
Speaker 1: end of the half, come out of the break, score
Speaker 1: field goal, out of the locker room, getting the football
Speaker 1: first and give the defense like forty five fifty minutes
Speaker 1: of real time rest, and then they got the football
Speaker 1: back a couple of times and the offense could not capitalize,
Speaker 1: ending with some mistakes. They're right towards the end of
Speaker 1: the third quarter into the fourth quarter before the missed
Speaker 1: field goal, where things just kind of went in the
Speaker 1: other direction. So not the Dolphins day. Let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and get the five takeaways from a game that was
Speaker 1: not the Dolphins day, and the number one takeaways that
Speaker 1: just too many big errors in critical moments. I mean,
Speaker 1: that was the story of the game. Right. We know
Speaker 1: there was multiple other factors. The Dolphins had to have
Speaker 1: a kind of thin margin for airy because of that,
Speaker 1: and they did not excel in that area. And just
Speaker 1: you know it started here exaving Howard, tried to get loose,
Speaker 1: tried to get going today, couldn't get himself ready to play.
Speaker 1: So he was inactive coming into this game, already down
Speaker 1: obviously Byron Jones on the pup. So going very deep
Speaker 1: into your cornerback position there. Teddy Bridgewater gets injured in
Speaker 1: his first snap of the game and has to exit
Speaker 1: the game. The good news is though he passed all
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol or the concussion tests, and he had
Speaker 1: to exit the game based upon the new concussion rules
Speaker 1: about the spotter seeing him stumble after the fact, and
Speaker 1: that's what coach McDaniel told us after the game. So
Speaker 1: he has to exit and Skyler Thompson comes in. You
Speaker 1: get the grounding call on that play for a safety
Speaker 1: which he gets hit as he's trying to throw the football.
Speaker 1: I kind of thought that was a protection against that rule,
Speaker 1: but they wind up ruling it two points for the
Speaker 1: Jets to Ron Armstead that he gets injured. So now
Speaker 1: you're down another big key piece of this team, and
Speaker 1: the Jets get the three penalties, uh two penalties. That
Speaker 1: should say from back to back face masks that were
Speaker 1: went from negative fourteen yards to positive thirty yards. That's
Speaker 1: not a good way. It's heart of the game. And
Speaker 1: then they blow a coverage the Dolphins due for a
Speaker 1: seventy nine yard play that winds up results I'm in
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So you just start off the game twelve
Speaker 1: to zero with a cavalcade of mistakes that continued throughout
Speaker 1: the course of the day. Tackling wasn't good enough. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. Um let's see the false start. When
Speaker 1: you're down there in field goal range late or early
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, I should say, where your first
Speaker 1: second and five back to second and ten. Then you
Speaker 1: get a drop pass on the third down play and
Speaker 1: or the second down play, I should say that would
Speaker 1: have been a first down inside the thirty yard line,
Speaker 1: down by two points with the football driving there in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, that's a killer. You wind up getting
Speaker 1: five of those yards back to make it a fifty
Speaker 1: four yard field goal. You then missed that obviously, which
Speaker 1: you know, that's when the game turned. Like we talked
Speaker 1: about so many instances of you know, players kind of
Speaker 1: running into each other or getting rubbed by themselves or
Speaker 1: the Jets rub routes. They ran, creating some space in
Speaker 1: the short areas and the flats to take advantage of
Speaker 1: some off coverage from the Miami Dolphins, getting the ball
Speaker 1: out of Wilson's hands quickly, not really giving him many
Speaker 1: opportunities to put the ball in position for the Dolphins
Speaker 1: to take it away, which has been such a hallmark
Speaker 1: of this defense. Just one pick through the first five
Speaker 1: games this year, and it was the opening series of
Speaker 1: the season back against the Patriots. You know, that's something
Speaker 1: we've been grown accustomed to with this Dolphins defense. As
Speaker 1: the takeaways, it's just not there right now. And the
Speaker 1: Jets staying and kind of third second short and manageable
Speaker 1: was was a big part of that, I thought in
Speaker 1: this game. And then late we get the past protection
Speaker 1: breakdown where we get some bad ball security as well
Speaker 1: in the pocket and it turns into a fumble, and
Speaker 1: that's kind of when the route went on. Dolphins down,
Speaker 1: seven team, quick turnover, and all of a sudden, it's
Speaker 1: a three score game. They're later well, it's a six
Speaker 1: team point game, but by all you know, intents and purposes,
Speaker 1: you had a long way to go there towards the
Speaker 1: end of that game. So I thought there was a
Speaker 1: route to victory at the way the run game was
Speaker 1: cranking some timely throws here and there, some big place
Speaker 1: from the receivers and drawing some flags defense making a
Speaker 1: handful of critical stops. But you know, I listed how
Speaker 1: many was that twelve mistakes that we talked about or
Speaker 1: ten ort twelve mistakes. It's just the margin for air
Speaker 1: in this game is way too thin to do that,
Speaker 1: especially when you're down a handful of really good players
Speaker 1: in terms of injuries. So next man up mentality got
Speaker 1: to have that, gotta play better, and you expect to
Speaker 1: get a better production, better performance even when you are shorthanded.
Speaker 1: And takeaway number two is that you just can't do
Speaker 1: that when you're down those guys. I mean, we know
Speaker 1: two was not out there for this game. Teddy gets
Speaker 1: knocked out of the game on the first play of
Speaker 1: the game, which you know, obviously is a tough situation.
Speaker 1: I think what Skyler Thompson is able to do as
Speaker 1: a player, and you know, he loses his status once
Speaker 1: he enters the league and makes the roster right, But
Speaker 1: he still is a rookie, seventh round draft choice who
Speaker 1: came in there and I thought showed himself to really
Speaker 1: kind of show you what he's about in terms of
Speaker 1: some of the physical skill sets. He had the really
Speaker 1: nice third down conversion play where he scrambles and is
Speaker 1: going to the ground and completes it to Jalen Waddle.
Speaker 1: But I mean, you're gonna expect some bumps and bruising,
Speaker 1: some hiccups and them some growing, some areas for for
Speaker 1: growth and opportunities for learning with the young quarterback like
Speaker 1: that for the Dolphins to stay competitive through you know,
Speaker 1: three quarters and change with that situation going to the
Speaker 1: quarterback three I mean in the past, you know, we've
Speaker 1: seen the preseason games these teams have played for years
Speaker 1: and years, right, Like, the third string quarterback typically is
Speaker 1: a guy that is either practice squad or trying to
Speaker 1: kind of float and find a spot, and then you know,
Speaker 1: you play him in the fourth quarter of the preseason
Speaker 1: games and then you don't really hear from them for
Speaker 1: for years or even ever again because the talent disparity
Speaker 1: at that position, how difficult that position is to play,
Speaker 1: to have three guys in your roster is certainly a
Speaker 1: great thing, but still at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: like down two quarterbacks is a tough thing to overcome.
Speaker 1: So no tou, no Teddy all but for one snap
Speaker 1: Exabing Howard doesn't play in the game to Ron Armstead
Speaker 1: exits very early in the game. Tyreek Hill leaves the
Speaker 1: game late. We obviously know about Byron Jones, a key
Speaker 1: piece on p up Austin Jackson was out. So you're
Speaker 1: down both your opening day tackles very very early on
Speaker 1: in this game. Again, it gave you a race. These
Speaker 1: are thin margin for air and we just saw the
Speaker 1: Levy break in the fourth quarter, and you can't play
Speaker 1: that way when you have you know, five six key
Speaker 1: pieces of your team uh not available to you. Takeaway
Speaker 1: number three tackling and penalties. You know, the Dolphins entered
Speaker 1: this game with the sixth most mistackles according to Pro
Speaker 1: Football Reference in the league, and you know, you're kind
Speaker 1: of thinking, like that's something we can clean up and
Speaker 1: we'll start to finish some of these players that were
Speaker 1: so close on defensively, but it just wasn't the deal.
Speaker 1: It went the opposite direction. You know, we saw some
Speaker 1: space on the outside talked about the rub routes saw
Speaker 1: a couple of times players getting lost in coverage, like
Speaker 1: the seventy nine yard touchdown or not touchdown catch, but
Speaker 1: seventy nine yard reception uh down to the one yard
Speaker 1: line to Breece Hall, which is essentially a seven point
Speaker 1: mistake him getting behind the defense there and nobody running
Speaker 1: with him. We don't know who that is, but either way,
Speaker 1: you just can't have that happen. We won't have the
Speaker 1: updated numbers until tomorrow for you guys, but we know
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be pretty both from the mistackles department
Speaker 1: and yards after contact category, especially with the way this
Speaker 1: game is going right now. We'll get to that in
Speaker 1: our fourth takeaway is you just have to be sharper
Speaker 1: in the tackling area if you want to compete with
Speaker 1: the way kind of the game is shifting more towards
Speaker 1: ball control, and you know, being able to sustain drives
Speaker 1: against defense is a takeaway deep shots and then obviously
Speaker 1: the penalties. I mean, with all these things going against
Speaker 1: you today, the last thing you can do is beat yourself.
Speaker 1: And it started off early in this football game. A
Speaker 1: six yard loss on a tackle for loss and an
Speaker 1: eight yard sack. Both of those negated with face mass penalties.
Speaker 1: It's a thirty yard turnaround on top of the fourteen
Speaker 1: yards a forty four yard turnaround, so that is worth points.
Speaker 1: The seventy nine yard bust it is obviously worth points.
Speaker 1: A drop past going into the red zone potentially right
Speaker 1: before miss Field goals three points, So you're living points
Speaker 1: on the board really in every single quarter of this game.
Speaker 1: You're just not gonna win games in this league doing that.
Speaker 1: So tackling and penalties and mistakes and being down players
Speaker 1: part of those three takeaways. We'll go ahead and take
Speaker 1: our first break here on a quick version of the
Speaker 1: Draft Time Podcast, kind of putting these notes together for
Speaker 1: you guys, trying to get the show out quickly for
Speaker 1: you so we can digest it, move on and get
Speaker 1: into the next thing. Those are your three takeaways here
Speaker 1: off the top. Let's go ahead and take our first
Speaker 1: break and come back on the other side and get
Speaker 1: to takeaways number four and five. That's next Drivetime Podcast,
Speaker 1: your host, Travis Wingfield. Brought to you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 1: Week five recap edition of the Drivetime Podcast. Your host
Speaker 1: Travis Wingfield. We are brought to you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 1: Three takeaways are in the books tackling and penalties. You
Speaker 1: can't win a game with the mistakes you make when
Speaker 1: you're down x amount of players, and the first takeaway
Speaker 1: big errors and critical moments. The fourth takeaway is that
Speaker 1: we have to get back to complementary football. You know,
Speaker 1: we praised the way this defense played through the first
Speaker 1: really three and a half games, and you know, again
Speaker 1: injuries factored into the second half of the game last
Speaker 1: week too, But the way they stayed in games and
Speaker 1: rallied and kept coming against a bunch of good quarterbacks
Speaker 1: and good offenses and some of the most high powered
Speaker 1: attacks this league has to offer. That's how you have
Speaker 1: to play it in today's NFL. And you know, the
Speaker 1: way coach manages games or end of half situations, I
Speaker 1: should say, has really been a stroke of genius for
Speaker 1: two reasons. Number One, he's not giving the other team
Speaker 1: a chance at the football, like we are calling last
Speaker 1: possession when you get the football with you know, two minutes,
Speaker 1: three minutes, even four minutes left, he is basically saying
Speaker 1: this is the last possession of the half. Whether we
Speaker 1: score or not or fieldlore touchdown, They're not getting the
Speaker 1: football it gives us an advantage that way. And then
Speaker 1: number two, he's not just not giving them the ball,
Speaker 1: he's scoring touchdowns with it. And the way they manage
Speaker 1: those games to basically put the Dolphins when they succeed
Speaker 1: in these situations into you know, balls at the twenty
Speaker 1: yard line with thirty seconds left, like we can hit
Speaker 1: a couple of past plays and potentially score, and by
Speaker 1: the time we do it, there's what four seconds left
Speaker 1: in this game. They've done the last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: as well. And the reason you want to imagine it
Speaker 1: that way is because football players and especially like quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: and you go back to the Chiefs and Bills in
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, Mahomes and Josh Allen in scoring
Speaker 1: in thirteen seconds to end somebody's season. Football players and
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and for particular are just more talented now than
Speaker 1: they've ever been. And the league is more geared towards
Speaker 1: offense than it's ever been. I don't think that's a
Speaker 1: surprise to anybody. There's another emphasis this offseason about illegal contact, right,
Speaker 1: So obviously points are you know, a premium for this
Speaker 1: league to to get points on all their games. So
Speaker 1: defenses and reaction to that, and we've seen. What's what's
Speaker 1: funny about the whole thing is offense is really through
Speaker 1: the first four weeks, which we'll see how it is,
Speaker 1: you know tomorrow after week five is all wrapped up.
Speaker 1: Through the first four weeks, offense, like points per game,
Speaker 1: yards per game is all really scaled back for the
Speaker 1: lowest figure it's had in quite some time. And these
Speaker 1: defenses playing these two high shells and forcing opposing offenses
Speaker 1: to patiently drive the field and take what the defense
Speaker 1: gives you and don't always have the luxury of these
Speaker 1: deep shots that you want to get. You know, your
Speaker 1: splash plays, you're quick to your quick change plays, your
Speaker 1: game changing plays, and suddenly not making mistakes has become
Speaker 1: an even bigger part of the equation. And you know,
Speaker 1: going back to the first three takeaways, Dolphins just weren't
Speaker 1: up to you know, they weren't up to it in
Speaker 1: this game. So I was interested in that, especially after
Speaker 1: Coach had this to say in response to a question
Speaker 1: he was asked after the game about targets for Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill and Jalen Waddle and the style of the game
Speaker 1: the Jets wanted to play on defense. Here's Coach talking
Speaker 1: about how the Jets came out in this game, and
Speaker 1: a big part of this in a big factor of
Speaker 1: our fifth takeaway, the running game is because of this
Speaker 1: here's coach, you know, we kind of they kind of knew,
Speaker 1: uh that you know, in the long term UM scheme
Speaker 1: of things that we were until we start being a
Speaker 1: little more productive in the in the run game. UM,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some uh, some disadvantage in the past game.
Speaker 1: So they went into this game kind of knowing that
Speaker 1: their their targets UM might be minimized early. UM. But
Speaker 1: they you know, to their credit and the type of
Speaker 1: players they are, they want to be on a UM
Speaker 1: winning football team. And you know that you have to
Speaker 1: UM offensively, you have to be able to run and pass,
Speaker 1: not just pass. So UM obviously that's you know, they're
Speaker 1: huge component of UM are our offense. UM. But to say,
Speaker 1: uh that that their touches were equating to UM our
Speaker 1: offensive productivity, I don't think is uh necessarily correct. The
Speaker 1: the you try to take stuff that the defense has
Speaker 1: given you, and they were, UM, it was obvious from
Speaker 1: very early in the game that they were going to
Speaker 1: play the past until we proved otherwise. So I don't think.
Speaker 1: I can't remember a first or second down UM single
Speaker 1: safety defense until the second half. Um and uh and
Speaker 1: then uh there was a little we had to pull
Speaker 1: uh tyreek um at the end he got stepped down
Speaker 1: pretty hard, so um that kind of hurt his cause
Speaker 1: in the second half as well. I thought that was
Speaker 1: really cool to hear coach talk about that and just
Speaker 1: kind of give us a peek behind the curtain as
Speaker 1: far as what the he saw from the Jets defense
Speaker 1: and no first or second down single high safety looks
Speaker 1: until the second half there, and how that allows you
Speaker 1: to get more traction in the running game, and how
Speaker 1: he said basically, you know, almost in a way confirming
Speaker 1: this point about the complimentary nature of this team, what
Speaker 1: they have to do to get back to their winning
Speaker 1: ways and being more complimentary to earn some of those
Speaker 1: downfield shots in the passing game, get the running game going,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you get that balance, and
Speaker 1: then you're very tough to defend because you know, if
Speaker 1: you can run the ball like you did today, get
Speaker 1: the deep passing game go like there is though both
Speaker 1: those things work together, all that works together for the offense,
Speaker 1: and then the offense works together with the defense and
Speaker 1: the special teams as well. And so that's all to
Speaker 1: say that you can help the defense out by just
Speaker 1: playing better offense. We talked about it in the rough
Speaker 1: start last year, right, the defense stacks up a few
Speaker 1: stops in a row, but we can't go score on
Speaker 1: the other end, and eventually the opposed offense does begin
Speaker 1: to find points. It would go a very long way
Speaker 1: for the defense if the offense got back to its
Speaker 1: efficient ways that we saw in the first three games
Speaker 1: of the season. Where on third downs in those first
Speaker 1: three games at fourteen of twenty eight and they were
Speaker 1: sixty six percent with four of six fourth down conversions
Speaker 1: and average twenty seven point six per game. The last
Speaker 1: two games on third down percent at six of twenty one,
Speaker 1: that's almost half the production and over two on fourth
Speaker 1: down and sixteen points per games, so eleven points less
Speaker 1: oven points six points less per game with the lack
Speaker 1: of efficiency and was due to the defense. Well, the
Speaker 1: first three games they allowed twenty point six points per game,
Speaker 1: in the last two games thirty three point six points
Speaker 1: per game. So you have to get back to complementary football.
Speaker 1: And then also includes the special teams because again forty
Speaker 1: three yard kickoff return. Today, we had a thirty five
Speaker 1: yard punt at one point. We did have that great
Speaker 1: punt that pinned them at the seven yard line to
Speaker 1: back them up and got that up on defense, and
Speaker 1: Brandon Jones had that big sack on Zack Wilson for
Speaker 1: a seven teen yard loss. So that's how it all
Speaker 1: kind of works together, right, But you also miss a
Speaker 1: field goal again, So special teams, offense, defense, everybody can
Speaker 1: do their part to get back to complimentary football. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a big key for this team going forward.
Speaker 1: And our fifth takeaway, we talked about it. The running
Speaker 1: game does get rolling, and then the kind of be
Speaker 1: product of that is the Tyreek Hill. He for sure
Speaker 1: is him, right, And I talked about Tyreek Hill that
Speaker 1: way because of the thirty four and twenty seven yard
Speaker 1: pass interferences that he drew in addition to the production
Speaker 1: he had as a receiver, which today was seven for
Speaker 1: forty seven. So really he comes close to a hundred
Speaker 1: yards and new factor in those. I mean, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna put it onto stats, but in terms of the
Speaker 1: offense moving the ball through Tyreek Hill, he's responsible for largely,
Speaker 1: you know, nearly a hundred yards with those two plays.
Speaker 1: Waddle also got downfield for a thirty four yard DP
Speaker 1: I called on him. So those guys are able to
Speaker 1: make plays even when they're not, you know, lightening up
Speaker 1: a scoreboard that way, and that helps with the running game, right.
Speaker 1: We then get deep and what does where he most
Speaker 1: do but go for his first one hundred yard game
Speaker 1: was a Miami Dolphin and score his first rushing touchdown
Speaker 1: as a Miami Dolphin. The touchdown that he ran in
Speaker 1: was absolutely beautiful. Great great blocks by Trent Sherfield, River Cracraft.
Speaker 1: We saw Tyreek Hill excuse me, and Jalen Waddle both
Speaker 1: had really good blocks in this game as well. Like
Speaker 1: the entire receiver's room, as you heard coach talk about
Speaker 1: their their understanding of a team game, the nature of
Speaker 1: a team game and not being worried about your targets
Speaker 1: or catchers or yards. That's a big, a big piece
Speaker 1: of evidence for that in the way those guys blocked
Speaker 1: most are had another fourteen yard run where he broke
Speaker 1: two tackles like these are the kind of running game productions.
Speaker 1: If you can get that, your offense can you really
Speaker 1: start to click and hit on all cylinders. Twenty three
Speaker 1: yard run on the opening drive of that second half,
Speaker 1: and he had a hundred yards with about two minutes
Speaker 1: to play into that second half, six point three yards
Speaker 1: per carry, eighteen for one thirteen. The touchdown run the
Speaker 1: twenty four yard was the long one on the game,
Speaker 1: and Miles Gaston had a six yard run on the
Speaker 1: second and seven he goes four for nine. Couple of
Speaker 1: negat of plays there as well, but there was just
Speaker 1: there was well executed runs throughout the course of the game,
Speaker 1: especially going through Raheem Moster, who just showed you what
Speaker 1: he can do. Let's go ahead and hear from coach
Speaker 1: McDaniel about what kind of player Raheem most is to
Speaker 1: finish up our fifth takeaway, It's a pretty simple formula. UM.
Speaker 1: You know, you kind of have an expectation, especially when
Speaker 1: you've been UM as a coach. You know, you see
Speaker 1: a front, you see a coverage, and you know the
Speaker 1: play UM, so you know the pieces of it that
Speaker 1: UM are tough in terms of blocking and UM so
Speaker 1: you know kind of how much you can the runner
Speaker 1: is going to get until there's contact. What's been cool
Speaker 1: seeing um Raheem the last couple of weeks is his
Speaker 1: yards after contact, the ones that aren't really UM, I
Speaker 1: don't know what you'd call it sexy. It's more like
Speaker 1: those lean yardage where you turn a four yard game
Speaker 1: into a seven out second and three as opposed to
Speaker 1: UM second and six, huge difference. Those are Those are
Speaker 1: the things that I think UM have really stood out.
Speaker 1: UM where he's got where he is at with this game. UM.
Speaker 1: I know his teammates feel it, and UM he he's
Speaker 1: earned each and every opportunity gets. It's a great point
Speaker 1: by coach talking about going from second and seven to
Speaker 1: second and three or you know whatever the differential might
Speaker 1: be there from that forward lane because we talked about
Speaker 1: in the post game show too. That conversely for the
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense, the same was also true because you so
Speaker 1: often have the Dolphins defense flying through and you know,
Speaker 1: making a potential play in the back slips out of
Speaker 1: a tackle, or the receiver makes attack broken tackle on
Speaker 1: a screen pass, or a quarterback gets out of the rush,
Speaker 1: and you all of a sudden go from you know,
Speaker 1: second and twelve to second eight. The percentages changed for
Speaker 1: every single yard you have to go. It's it's like
Speaker 1: in baseball when you know the picture starts off account
Speaker 1: one and oversas oh and one and the abiding average
Speaker 1: and ops and all that stuff is reflective upon the count.
Speaker 1: Same deal here. Oh, it's the devil's and the details, right,
Speaker 1: And I think coach talking about that and how important
Speaker 1: that it is and getting that uncovered here from Raheem
Speaker 1: can be a really good way for the offense to
Speaker 1: get back to more complimentary football, and then by nature
Speaker 1: of that, the entire team playing more complimentary football as well.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and take our last break and come
Speaker 1: back and do the play before the play, give me
Speaker 1: some additional notes, tell you about some teaching tape, and
Speaker 1: we'll go ahead and get out of here. That's next
Speaker 1: Drift Time podcast, your host, Travis Wingfield, brought to you
Speaker 1: by Auto Nation. It is the recap podcast for week
Speaker 1: number five. The Dolphins fall forty to seventeen against the
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Let's go ahead and do the play
Speaker 1: before the play which came. I had a few options here,
Speaker 1: but I think it has to be the play before
Speaker 1: the fourth down stop because the Jets are driving with
Speaker 1: a chance to go up by multiple scores in the
Speaker 1: third quarter, and the Dolphins get a fourth down stop
Speaker 1: on an incomplete pass for Garrett Wilson up against Nick Needham.
Speaker 1: But the right before that was a third and two,
Speaker 1: so that the Jets go from their own forty three
Speaker 1: yard line gained three yards on first down, they get
Speaker 1: five yards on second down to put the ball at
Speaker 1: the forty five yard line of the Miami Dolphins, and
Speaker 1: then it's a third and two play for Breese Hall
Speaker 1: and Christian Wilkins stacks that thing up and makes a
Speaker 1: stop for a one yard game, which puts the Jets
Speaker 1: in a long fourth and two and they wind up missing.
Speaker 1: It's actually Corey Davis, it wasn't Garrett Wilson on that
Speaker 1: pass attempt to the side there. So there was a
Speaker 1: few of those, and that was a big one that
Speaker 1: Christian seems to make on a weekly basis stacking guys
Speaker 1: up coming off blocks. He also had a play before
Speaker 1: the Brandon Jones seventeen yard stack to stack a play
Speaker 1: up where he was kind of the only guy there
Speaker 1: to make a play, So I guess Christian Wilkins is
Speaker 1: kind of the guy right now. I also had Raheem
Speaker 1: Moster on the catch and run before the Smith quarterback
Speaker 1: sneak or tight end sneak touchdown run where he catches
Speaker 1: that ball and finds the pylon just stepped out before that.
Speaker 1: But I think the third and two stuff by Christian
Speaker 1: Wilkins is our play before the play, although that is,
Speaker 1: you know, by nature of that segment kind of a
Speaker 1: winning type of segment, but we do it every week here.
Speaker 1: The teaching tape was Brandon Jones on the Zack Wilson
Speaker 1: sack because not only did he stay on his feet
Speaker 1: on a pump fake or the quarterback and an athletic
Speaker 1: wanted that bootlegged out to the naked side of the
Speaker 1: field and then the change of direction to put your
Speaker 1: foot in the ground and get back up field and
Speaker 1: then finish the tackle and secure him. I mean, he
Speaker 1: gets out of your grasp there it goes for my
Speaker 1: potential seventeen yard lost to maybe a gain or you know,
Speaker 1: best case scenario for the Dolphins is a no gain
Speaker 1: an incomplete pass, but he makes sure it finishes that play.
Speaker 1: And it happened last year in the game against the
Speaker 1: Jets two down here in South Florida, down here in
Speaker 1: Miami Gardens, where Wilson had just extended to drive with
Speaker 1: a third down scramble where he shaped off a shook
Speaker 1: off a sack attempt, and then Brandon Jones comes up
Speaker 1: and makes a big play, a negative play to essentially
Speaker 1: get the Dolphins defense ahead of the chains and winds
Speaker 1: up getting off the field there. So he's teaching tape
Speaker 1: with his staying on his feet, pursuing the quarterback and
Speaker 1: the change of direction skills quite often for Brandon Jones.
Speaker 1: So I thought, I had a really good game today
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins, and I wanted to make a
Speaker 1: mention here of the way the Dolphins kind of manufactured
Speaker 1: a touchdown on that first touchdown drive the third and
Speaker 1: one deep shot to Tyreek Hill that draws the thirty
Speaker 1: four yard d P. I just love that, you know,
Speaker 1: I was. I was calling for, you know, quarterback on
Speaker 1: the move action there they decided to go for it
Speaker 1: all and take a shot up top. They get the
Speaker 1: DP I flag because you're, you know, put the ball
Speaker 1: and the opportunity of your best playmakers. Tyreek Hill certainly
Speaker 1: qualifies for that. I thought that was an awesome call.
Speaker 1: The end around to Tyreek to get yards where he
Speaker 1: puts his foot in the ground, splits the part defenders. Man,
Speaker 1: he is he is special with the ball in his hands.
Speaker 1: We saw it on that play. Then you get the
Speaker 1: twelve yard touchdown run, the jet sweep handoff working off
Speaker 1: similar motion, and lots of end a round stuff they
Speaker 1: were doing out the course of the game. Just a
Speaker 1: well manufactured touchdown drive there that I thought was worth
Speaker 1: putting in the notes here. It was gonna be part
Speaker 1: of a takeaway at one point until the game went
Speaker 1: the way it did in the fourth quarter. So some
Speaker 1: positives competitive for the first three quarters of the game,
Speaker 1: you know, awfully, banged up, awfully against the odds down
Speaker 1: to your third quarterback, and he I thought competed his
Speaker 1: butt off as well. So some good, lots of bad
Speaker 1: lots to work on. We have a game next Sunday.
Speaker 1: That's always the beautiful part of this league, of this game,
Speaker 1: as there's always a game next week until there's not. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have plenty to work on and get corrected
Speaker 1: as they fall to three and two with their second
Speaker 1: straight loss after the three and no start. I know
Speaker 1: nobody wants to be in this situation. We all kind
Speaker 1: of thought four and one, with three and o in
Speaker 1: the Division, four and one in conference was a great
Speaker 1: way to start but it's a long year. It's a
Speaker 1: long season. You lose games you expect to win, you know,
Speaker 1: I think most of us thought the Dolphins had a
Speaker 1: chance to win this game. Every year it happens. So
Speaker 1: don't get two down. It's one game. We'll be back
Speaker 1: next week and hopefully get back in the win column
Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings. So all twenty two review podcasts
Speaker 1: will be on Tuesday, and then we'll turn the page
Speaker 1: to the Vikings on Wednesday and look ahead to that squad.
