And on today's show, 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.760 a tough loss in the Meadowlands, the Dolphins fall forty 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.440 to seventeen to the rival up in the a f 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.600 C East one of the five takeaways. And here from 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.959 head coach Mike McDaniel from the Baptist Health Studios inside 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:12.040 the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drive Time Podcast. 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.200 So a day most of us, as Dolphins fans, would 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.160 like to forget, as the Dolphins dropped one to the 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.000 Jets forty to seventeen, and a game that I don't 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.560 think anybody saw coming. The War of Attrition certainly stacked 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.480 up on us. Let's go ahead and get to the 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.200 stats here, as we do every single week on the podcast, Miami. Look, 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.160 this game wasn't that lopsided. The Dolphins had nineteen first 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.160 down Jets had twenty one, five of eleven. On third 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.959 downs for the Jets, Miami four of eleven. Both teams 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.399 failed to convert on fourth down Miami oh for two, 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.880 the Jets o for one. The Jets had three d 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.280 and twenty two yards of offense Miami to the Dolphins 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.320 one through the air, one seven on the ground to 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.600 New York's one eighties seven through the air and one 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.440 thirty five on the ground. Miami did run six more 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.320 plays than the New York Jets, sixty two to fifty six. 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.960 The turnovers two from Miami and done for the Jets, 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.600 two sacks from Miami, two sacks for the Jets. The 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.799 Dolphins eleven penalties for one oh two the Jets five 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.840 for one oh five, and time possession was just a 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.720 minute apart, twenty nine oh two to thirty fifty eight, 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.200 So close game all the way to the fourth quarter, right, 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.280 you kind of saw it turning point there as the 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.880 Jets put up three consecutive touchdowns after the Dolphins missed 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.720 the field goal that would have put them ahead with 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.120 just over thirteen minutes to play in that fourth quarter. 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.560 After a good answer to the Jets after they go 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.679 up nineteen to seven, Dolphins get a touchdown at the 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.120 end of the half, come out of the break, score 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.880 field goal, out of the locker room, getting the football 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.600 first and give the defense like forty five fifty minutes 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.720 of real time rest, and then they got the football 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.279 back a couple of times and the offense could not capitalize, 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.600 ending with some mistakes. They're right towards the end of 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.000 the third quarter into the fourth quarter before the missed 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.120 field goal, where things just kind of went in the 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.440 other direction. So not the Dolphins day. Let's go ahead 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.040 and get the five takeaways from a game that was 0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.880 not the Dolphins day, and the number one takeaways that 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.919 just too many big errors in critical moments. I mean, 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:04.959 that was the story of the game. Right. We know 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.359 there was multiple other factors. The Dolphins had to have 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.919 a kind of thin margin for airy because of that, 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.000 and they did not excel in that area. And just 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.359 you know it started here exaving Howard, tried to get loose, 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.519 tried to get going today, couldn't get himself ready to play. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.760 So he was inactive coming into this game, already down 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.720 obviously Byron Jones on the pup. So going very deep 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.239 into your cornerback position there. Teddy Bridgewater gets injured in 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.640 his first snap of the game and has to exit 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.760 the game. The good news is though he passed all 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.080 the concussion protocol or the concussion tests, and he had 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.440 to exit the game based upon the new concussion rules 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.400 about the spotter seeing him stumble after the fact, and 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.680 that's what coach McDaniel told us after the game. So 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.200 he has to exit and Skyler Thompson comes in. You 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.720 get the grounding call on that play for a safety 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.800 which he gets hit as he's trying to throw the football. 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.000 I kind of thought that was a protection against that rule, 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.080 but they wind up ruling it two points for the 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.120 Jets to Ron Armstead that he gets injured. So now 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.160 you're down another big key piece of this team, and 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.320 the Jets get the three penalties, uh two penalties. That 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.520 should say from back to back face masks that were 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.120 went from negative fourteen yards to positive thirty yards. That's 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.240 not a good way. It's heart of the game. And 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:12.960 then they blow a coverage the Dolphins due for a 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.360 seventy nine yard play that winds up results I'm in 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.880 a touchdown. So you just start off the game twelve 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.359 to zero with a cavalcade of mistakes that continued throughout 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.600 the course of the day. Tackling wasn't good enough. We'll 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.320 talk about that. Um let's see the false start. When 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.920 you're down there in field goal range late or early 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.120 in the fourth quarter, I should say, where your first 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.640 second and five back to second and ten. Then you 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.480 get a drop pass on the third down play and 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:39.840 or the second down play, I should say that would 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.080 have been a first down inside the thirty yard line, 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.680 down by two points with the football driving there in 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.159 the fourth quarter, that's a killer. You wind up getting 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:48.919 five of those yards back to make it a fifty 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.040 four yard field goal. You then missed that obviously, which 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.880 you know, that's when the game turned. Like we talked 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.240 about so many instances of you know, players kind of 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.760 running into each other or getting rubbed by themselves or 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.800 the Jets rub routes. They ran, creating some space in 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.880 the short areas and the flats to take advantage of 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.560 some off coverage from the Miami Dolphins, getting the ball 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.360 out of Wilson's hands quickly, not really giving him many 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.679 opportunities to put the ball in position for the Dolphins 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.080 to take it away, which has been such a hallmark 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.800 of this defense. Just one pick through the first five 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.160 games this year, and it was the opening series of 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.720 the season back against the Patriots. You know, that's something 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.440 we've been grown accustomed to with this Dolphins defense. As 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.600 the takeaways, it's just not there right now. And the 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.000 Jets staying and kind of third second short and manageable 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.160 was was a big part of that, I thought in 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.719 this game. And then late we get the past protection 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.400 breakdown where we get some bad ball security as well 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.360 in the pocket and it turns into a fumble, and 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.360 that's kind of when the route went on. Dolphins down, 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.160 seven team, quick turnover, and all of a sudden, it's 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.120 a three score game. They're later well, it's a six 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.760 team point game, but by all you know, intents and purposes, 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.080 you had a long way to go there towards the 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.120 end of that game. So I thought there was a 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:56.680 route to victory at the way the run game was 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.039 cranking some timely throws here and there, some big place 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.120 from the receivers and drawing some flags defense making a 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.479 handful of critical stops. But you know, I listed how 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.520 many was that twelve mistakes that we talked about or 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.160 ten ort twelve mistakes. It's just the margin for air 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.080 in this game is way too thin to do that, 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.040 especially when you're down a handful of really good players 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.839 in terms of injuries. So next man up mentality got 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.000 to have that, gotta play better, and you expect to 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.040 get a better production, better performance even when you are shorthanded. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.040 And takeaway number two is that you just can't do 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.720 that when you're down those guys. I mean, we know 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.920 two was not out there for this game. Teddy gets 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:30.560 knocked out of the game on the first play of 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.880 the game, which you know, obviously is a tough situation. 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:37.560 I think what Skyler Thompson is able to do as 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.880 a player, and you know, he loses his status once 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.120 he enters the league and makes the roster right, But 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.120 he still is a rookie, seventh round draft choice who 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.159 came in there and I thought showed himself to really 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.600 kind of show you what he's about in terms of 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.640 some of the physical skill sets. He had the really 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.080 nice third down conversion play where he scrambles and is 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.680 going to the ground and completes it to Jalen Waddle. 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.159 But I mean, you're gonna expect some bumps and bruising, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.400 some hiccups and them some growing, some areas for for 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.560 growth and opportunities for learning with the young quarterback like 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.840 that for the Dolphins to stay competitive through you know, 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.440 three quarters and change with that situation going to the 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.960 quarterback three I mean in the past, you know, we've 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.040 seen the preseason games these teams have played for years 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.880 and years, right, Like, the third string quarterback typically is 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.960 a guy that is either practice squad or trying to 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.080 kind of float and find a spot, and then you know, 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.000 you play him in the fourth quarter of the preseason 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:26.480 games and then you don't really hear from them for 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.280 for years or even ever again because the talent disparity 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.680 at that position, how difficult that position is to play, 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.560 to have three guys in your roster is certainly a 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.320 great thing, but still at the end of the day, 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.600 like down two quarterbacks is a tough thing to overcome. 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.640 So no tou, no Teddy all but for one snap 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.760 Exabing Howard doesn't play in the game to Ron Armstead 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.240 exits very early in the game. Tyreek Hill leaves the 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.760 game late. We obviously know about Byron Jones, a key 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.800 piece on p up Austin Jackson was out. So you're 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.800 down both your opening day tackles very very early on 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.120 in this game. Again, it gave you a race. These 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.360 are thin margin for air and we just saw the 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.040 Levy break in the fourth quarter, and you can't play 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.480 that way when you have you know, five six key 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.000 pieces of your team uh not available to you. Takeaway 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.680 number three tackling and penalties. You know, the Dolphins entered 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.160 this game with the sixth most mistackles according to Pro 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.520 Football Reference in the league, and you know, you're kind 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.320 of thinking, like that's something we can clean up and 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.040 we'll start to finish some of these players that were 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.000 so close on defensively, but it just wasn't the deal. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.120 It went the opposite direction. You know, we saw some 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.960 space on the outside talked about the rub routes saw 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.160 a couple of times players getting lost in coverage, like 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.640 the seventy nine yard touchdown or not touchdown catch, but 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.680 seventy nine yard reception uh down to the one yard 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.079 line to Breece Hall, which is essentially a seven point 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.600 mistake him getting behind the defense there and nobody running 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.800 with him. We don't know who that is, but either way, 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.400 you just can't have that happen. We won't have the 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.319 updated numbers until tomorrow for you guys, but we know 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.720 it's not gonna be pretty both from the mistackles department 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.959 and yards after contact category, especially with the way this 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.559 game is going right now. We'll get to that in 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.000 our fourth takeaway is you just have to be sharper 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.360 in the tackling area if you want to compete with 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.840 the way kind of the game is shifting more towards 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.360 ball control, and you know, being able to sustain drives 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.080 against defense is a takeaway deep shots and then obviously 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.679 the penalties. I mean, with all these things going against 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.960 you today, the last thing you can do is beat yourself. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.959 And it started off early in this football game. A 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.480 six yard loss on a tackle for loss and an 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.240 eight yard sack. Both of those negated with face mass penalties. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.840 It's a thirty yard turnaround on top of the fourteen 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.240 yards a forty four yard turnaround, so that is worth points. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.800 The seventy nine yard bust it is obviously worth points. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.440 A drop past going into the red zone potentially right 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.240 before miss Field goals three points, So you're living points 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.120 on the board really in every single quarter of this game. 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.240 You're just not gonna win games in this league doing that. 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.440 So tackling and penalties and mistakes and being down players 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.719 part of those three takeaways. We'll go ahead and take 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.360 our first break here on a quick version of the 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.520 Draft Time Podcast, kind of putting these notes together for 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.439 you guys, trying to get the show out quickly for 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.880 you so we can digest it, move on and get 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.720 into the next thing. Those are your three takeaways here 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.480 off the top. Let's go ahead and take our first 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.400 break and come back on the other side and get 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.440 to takeaways number four and five. That's next Drivetime Podcast, 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.040 your host, Travis Wingfield. Brought to you by Auto Nation. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.360 Week five recap edition of the Drivetime Podcast. Your host 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.960 Travis Wingfield. We are brought to you by Auto Nation. 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.400 Three takeaways are in the books tackling and penalties. You 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.920 can't win a game with the mistakes you make when 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.480 you're down x amount of players, and the first takeaway 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.480 big errors and critical moments. The fourth takeaway is that 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.439 we have to get back to complementary football. You know, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.800 we praised the way this defense played through the first 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.960 really three and a half games, and you know, again 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.280 injuries factored into the second half of the game last 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.160 week too, But the way they stayed in games and 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.120 rallied and kept coming against a bunch of good quarterbacks 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.480 and good offenses and some of the most high powered 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.079 attacks this league has to offer. That's how you have 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.520 to play it in today's NFL. And you know, the 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:02.040 way coach manages games or end of half situations, I 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.640 should say, has really been a stroke of genius for 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.000 two reasons. Number One, he's not giving the other team 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.320 a chance at the football, like we are calling last 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.240 possession when you get the football with you know, two minutes, 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.800 three minutes, even four minutes left, he is basically saying 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.040 this is the last possession of the half. Whether we 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.599 score or not or fieldlore touchdown, They're not getting the 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.360 football it gives us an advantage that way. And then 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.000 number two, he's not just not giving them the ball, 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.199 he's scoring touchdowns with it. And the way they manage 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.120 those games to basically put the Dolphins when they succeed 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.960 in these situations into you know, balls at the twenty 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.840 yard line with thirty seconds left, like we can hit 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.000 a couple of past plays and potentially score, and by 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.319 the time we do it, there's what four seconds left 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.520 in this game. They've done the last couple of weeks 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.599 as well. And the reason you want to imagine it 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.120 that way is because football players and especially like quarterbacks, 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:52.520 and you go back to the Chiefs and Bills in 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.760 the playoffs last year, Mahomes and Josh Allen in scoring 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.240 in thirteen seconds to end somebody's season. Football players and 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.120 quarterbacks and for particular are just more talented now than 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.120 they've ever been. And the league is more geared towards 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.559 offense than it's ever been. I don't think that's a 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.880 surprise to anybody. There's another emphasis this offseason about illegal contact, right, 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:16.319 So obviously points are you know, a premium for this 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.800 league to to get points on all their games. So 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.640 defenses and reaction to that, and we've seen. What's what's 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.880 funny about the whole thing is offense is really through 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.599 the first four weeks, which we'll see how it is, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.760 you know tomorrow after week five is all wrapped up. 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.679 Through the first four weeks, offense, like points per game, 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.719 yards per game is all really scaled back for the 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.559 lowest figure it's had in quite some time. And these 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.679 defenses playing these two high shells and forcing opposing offenses 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.480 to patiently drive the field and take what the defense 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.480 gives you and don't always have the luxury of these 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.320 deep shots that you want to get. You know, your 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.120 splash plays, you're quick to your quick change plays, your 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:58.520 game changing plays, and suddenly not making mistakes has become 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.520 an even bigger part of the equation. And you know, 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.240 going back to the first three takeaways, Dolphins just weren't 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:04.920 up to you know, they weren't up to it in 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.040 this game. So I was interested in that, especially after 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.480 Coach had this to say in response to a question 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.440 he was asked after the game about targets for Tyreek 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.280 Hill and Jalen Waddle and the style of the game 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.960 the Jets wanted to play on defense. Here's Coach talking 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.959 about how the Jets came out in this game, and 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.760 a big part of this in a big factor of 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.120 our fifth takeaway, the running game is because of this 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.400 here's coach, you know, we kind of they kind of knew, 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:34.280 uh that you know, in the long term UM scheme 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:39.719 of things that we were until we start being a 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.040 little more productive in the in the run game. UM, 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:49.240 there's gonna be some uh, some disadvantage in the past game. 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.360 So they went into this game kind of knowing that 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:57.000 their their targets UM might be minimized early. UM. But 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.240 they you know, to their credit and the type of 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.240 players they are, they want to be on a UM 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.760 winning football team. And you know that you have to 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.880 UM offensively, you have to be able to run and pass, 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:11.680 not just pass. So UM obviously that's you know, they're 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:17.360 huge component of UM are our offense. UM. But to say, 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:24.600 uh that that their touches were equating to UM our 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:28.560 offensive productivity, I don't think is uh necessarily correct. The 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.200 the you try to take stuff that the defense has 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.640 given you, and they were, UM, it was obvious from 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.280 very early in the game that they were going to 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.440 play the past until we proved otherwise. So I don't think. 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.120 I can't remember a first or second down UM single 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:51.720 safety defense until the second half. Um and uh and 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.520 then uh there was a little we had to pull 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.800 uh tyreek um at the end he got stepped down 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.880 pretty hard, so um that kind of hurt his cause 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.160 in the second half as well. I thought that was 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:05.920 really cool to hear coach talk about that and just 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.560 kind of give us a peek behind the curtain as 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.920 far as what the he saw from the Jets defense 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.880 and no first or second down single high safety looks 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.080 until the second half there, and how that allows you 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.680 to get more traction in the running game, and how 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.680 he said basically, you know, almost in a way confirming 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.600 this point about the complimentary nature of this team, what 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:25.560 they have to do to get back to their winning 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.360 ways and being more complimentary to earn some of those 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.000 downfield shots in the passing game, get the running game going, 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.960 and all of a sudden you get that balance, and 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.440 then you're very tough to defend because you know, if 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.040 you can run the ball like you did today, get 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.080 the deep passing game go like there is though both 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.920 those things work together, all that works together for the offense, 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.120 and then the offense works together with the defense and 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.640 the special teams as well. And so that's all to 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.080 say that you can help the defense out by just 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.600 playing better offense. We talked about it in the rough 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.840 start last year, right, the defense stacks up a few 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:57.840 stops in a row, but we can't go score on 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.240 the other end, and eventually the opposed offense does begin 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.120 to find points. It would go a very long way 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.120 for the defense if the offense got back to its 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.600 efficient ways that we saw in the first three games 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.120 of the season. Where on third downs in those first 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.600 three games at fourteen of twenty eight and they were 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:20.000 sixty six percent with four of six fourth down conversions 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.920 and average twenty seven point six per game. The last 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:27.160 two games on third down percent at six of twenty one, 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.920 that's almost half the production and over two on fourth 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.040 down and sixteen points per games, so eleven points less 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.840 oven points six points less per game with the lack 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.320 of efficiency and was due to the defense. Well, the 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.960 first three games they allowed twenty point six points per game, 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.840 in the last two games thirty three point six points 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.200 per game. So you have to get back to complementary football. 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:52.600 And then also includes the special teams because again forty 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.760 three yard kickoff return. Today, we had a thirty five 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.760 yard punt at one point. We did have that great 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.480 punt that pinned them at the seven yard line to 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.840 back them up and got that up on defense, and 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.600 Brandon Jones had that big sack on Zack Wilson for 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.840 a seven teen yard loss. So that's how it all 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.000 kind of works together, right, But you also miss a 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.119 field goal again, So special teams, offense, defense, everybody can 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.080 do their part to get back to complimentary football. It's 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:15.960 gonna be a big key for this team going forward. 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.840 And our fifth takeaway, we talked about it. The running 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:20.879 game does get rolling, and then the kind of be 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.600 product of that is the Tyreek Hill. He for sure 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.960 is him, right, And I talked about Tyreek Hill that 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:29.520 way because of the thirty four and twenty seven yard 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:33.000 pass interferences that he drew in addition to the production 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.280 he had as a receiver, which today was seven for 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.520 forty seven. So really he comes close to a hundred 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:40.680 yards and new factor in those. I mean, you're not 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:42.800 gonna put it onto stats, but in terms of the 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.240 offense moving the ball through Tyreek Hill, he's responsible for largely, 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.439 you know, nearly a hundred yards with those two plays. 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.120 Waddle also got downfield for a thirty four yard DP 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.200 I called on him. So those guys are able to 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.159 make plays even when they're not, you know, lightening up 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.679 a scoreboard that way, and that helps with the running game, right. 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.680 We then get deep and what does where he most 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.879 do but go for his first one hundred yard game 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.560 was a Miami Dolphin and score his first rushing touchdown 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.320 as a Miami Dolphin. The touchdown that he ran in 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.760 was absolutely beautiful. Great great blocks by Trent Sherfield, River Cracraft. 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.720 We saw Tyreek Hill excuse me, and Jalen Waddle both 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.359 had really good blocks in this game as well. Like 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.960 the entire receiver's room, as you heard coach talk about 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.760 their their understanding of a team game, the nature of 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.760 a team game and not being worried about your targets 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.560 or catchers or yards. That's a big, a big piece 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.000 of evidence for that in the way those guys blocked 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.360 most are had another fourteen yard run where he broke 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.040 two tackles like these are the kind of running game productions. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:38.880 If you can get that, your offense can you really 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:41.080 start to click and hit on all cylinders. Twenty three 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:44.120 yard run on the opening drive of that second half, 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.320
