Dolphins? 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:13.119 And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, part of the 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:17.880 Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.720 How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield. 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.800 And on today's show, a couple of news items, the All. 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:25.880 Twenty two review. I have a new format. 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.120 I'm very excited to break out for y'all. Plus Coach McDaniel, 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:32.120 sound bites and much much more from the Baptist Health 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.479 Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.479 This is the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:38.200 Maggie Gaffe. 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.000 It is tape review day. Let's go ahead and get 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.640 right to it. But first some updates. Coach says that 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:46.480 Devon a Chain is going to be week to week. 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.400 He avoided anything severe with his shoulder injury after a 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.920 defensive lineman's weight landed on his entire body. Robert Jones 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.720 and Eric Sobert both exited the game. Coach says that 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.120 Rob Jones should be a little bit longer than Eric. 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.280 Both are in the midst of rehab processes that could 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.800 take more than a week or two Mike White is 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.640 in the concussion protocol. The staff noticed something irreg irregularities, 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.560 according to coach, so the whole process began and McDaniel 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.200 was told he would not be available. Once that happened, 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:14.880 the plan was to play Mike White the rest of 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.760 the way when he got in the game, but he 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.319 did not finish that obviously, and Skyler finishes up. In 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.280 the meantime, the team brought back James black Men to 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.360 give the team three quarterbacks this week as we surge 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.440 on towards the end of camp, and the coinciding move 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.399 with Blackman's return is the release of Tony Ellis, who 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.640 has been with Miami a few times before. And then 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.720 finally alec Ingold and Miles Gaskin, coach says, are both 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.880 quote on the very close side of being able to 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.440 participate in football once again. 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:41.160 End quote. 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.479 Said he expects to see both of them sooner then later. 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.120 Let's go ahead and get to the Houston Texans preseason 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.040 Week two film breakdown. I was grinding tape all day, 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.000 watched a little bit on Sunday, but mostly took that 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.000 day with my kids, and then got to the tape 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:55.680 on Monday, and we're gonna do that in this way. 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.440 We're gonna talk about the big plays, and we're only 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.480 gonna do offense this time around, because they're were some 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.160 big plays defense. But I don't want this podcast to 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.720 get so convoluted because with ninety players to evaluate, it's 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.640 a little bit long. So you guys already see that 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.000 in the time on the podcast right now, and just 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.480 want to go ahead and break these down and paint 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.720 some pictures for you here with the big play breakdowns, 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.399 starting with the opening interception. 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.040 On the opening play that was in. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:18.920 The first quarter with fourteen to fifty four to go, 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.480 it's a play that reads like four verts, only you 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.720 had three verticals to the side of the field and 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.520 you had Tyler Croft running up the seam. You had 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.360 Tyreek running the takeoff with a spray release, and what 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.080 that means is basically intight to the formation and then 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.160 you widen your release and then get vertical. I noted 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:36.880 this throughout the course of the game, how the Dolphins 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.359 really did a lot of condensed formations and that gives 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.440 them chances to really expand the defense post snap, and 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.680 that helps give you your spacing with those two routes 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.280 they ran on that play, but with the middle linebacker 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.480 getting the depth that he got, he made the entire 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:50.120 thing work. 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:51.760 If Tua holds it longer. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.760 The best case scenario is probably a throwaway because if 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:59.280 you watch the wide angle Tyreek and Durham coming across 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.040 and split flow in flat, those guys are covered. Croft 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.160 is pretty well covered except for that you know that 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.920 space that Tua thought he probably saw without accounting for 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.720 that linebacker. I'm not sure if Tua had the handoff 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.600 option there. I think he did, but if he, if 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.120 he does, it's really well blocked for Raheem Moster and 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.840 Austin Jackson had a great turn and pin on his man, 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.040 a theme throughout this game. Both Connor and Rob Nail 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.920 a double team. The throw location was actually good if 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.200 the linebacker had not made the great play like I 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:27.720 like the way. It's an old Croft down into the 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.480 backside of the zone. But obviously it's not a good 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.960 throw because the linebacker jumps back and picks it off 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.639 in that spot. But it would have prevented a big 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.000 hit from the safety if that linebacker had bit up 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.200 on the run. Again, we have to id that just 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.320 didn't happen there. But obviously we did not, and you 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.280 get the point there. Another big play I wanted to 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.800 break down here the second drive, a fifteen yard completion 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.720 from Tua to Akmed on third and two. A big 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.800 conversion on that drive. And it's a little swing route 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.760 and a great example of Tua's processing here because you 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.480 have two nasty splits to the boundary, which is the 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.560 short side of the field field is the wide side. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.160 Will cover that every time I mention it here on 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.800 the podcast. With the two receivers and a receiver a Titan, 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.800 I should say, going up against two dbs who were 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.840 off and you can see they're in what's called a 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.680 banjo call, and all that means is a zone coverage 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.760 where you say, like, first guy in I got, second 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.120 guy out is the one that I got. So you 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.720 have to communicate this kind of switch released type of 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.360 thing where they pass off the first in last out 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.520 player on those routes. Both the routes break in and 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.480 you see Tua his helmet is right at those dbs 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.640 and you see them kind of squat and peek inside, 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.440 and when he sees them have that depth, he knows 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.159 instantly based upon the sign of the play, there's no 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.039 one that's gonna be able to get to Zavon quickly 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.359 enough to cut him down short of the sticks. And 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.560 that's a big reason why he was afforded the chance 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.479 to make that move in space and not just power 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.599 his way through a tackle for three yards and a 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.840 first down, but to make a move in space and 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.640 create a fifteen yard play. And it's again good that 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.120 Tua got it out fast because on that rep. And 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.120 this is why I love playing at Demico Ryan's defense. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:55.480 All week. 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.880 These guys gave him so many looks with a gap 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.560 blitz's or double a gap look green dog blitzer is. 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.000 There was one fake where a linebacker was mugged up 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.680 in the A gap fake to pivot step back and 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.839 then came on the rush. Just all kinds of stuff 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.960 they gave you on this play. Mugged up in the 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.240 A gaps. The A gap is the gap off of 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.400 the center shoulders either side, right in the middle of 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.039 the quarterback's vision, and it confused our pass pro and 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.520 Austin Jackson wound up kind of working inside out and 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.680 when he got back outside, his heels got clicked in together, 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.599 which is not great pass protection technique, and it allowed 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.560 the Bowl rush to really take him right into Tua's lap, 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.440 and the ball was already out so it didn't affect 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.520 the pass or even hit the quarterback. But the wide 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.400 nine on that play was tough for Jackson to get 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.039 out too. But good work by two, a good work 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.599 by Savon and Space, and a cool play design. We'll 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.799 talk more about how I think there's so many counters 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.279 with this offense did effectively last year. In just a 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.719 moment the first touchdown of the game, quarter one, six 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.840 minutes to play, where Hee most It's two yard touchdown 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.039 run legit one of my favorite eleven on eleven blocking 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:53.680 executions I've seen from this team. 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.280 Across the board. It was perfect. 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.360 You get countertrey action working off the priest snat motion 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.760 and what that means is a guard and you're gonna 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.920 have a tight end pull to the playside to make 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.000 those key blocks. And that pre snap motion is Durham 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.480 just getting out of his stance and basically starting with 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.120 a second headstart above everybody else. And you actually how 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:12.680 the Texans react to this a few times in the 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.200 game to jump off sides. But he gets that head start, 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.320 he and Rob Hunt come across playside. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:18.560 You have Connor Williams. 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.680 Whenever you have a guard pulling, you have to pin 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.440 the man across from him to make sure he doesn't 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.600 get in there and disrupt the entire timing of the play. Well, 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.240 Connor pinned this three technique that Rob left alone, and 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:29.120 he nails. 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:29.520 It great block. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.360 Tyler Croft has a straight up seven technique right across 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.279 from him, and he's able to get on the outside 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.839 shoulder and pin him inside. Then you have Win and 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.640 Lamb on double teams on the two technique, and Win 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.760 does a great job of not firing his hands. He 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.960 comes out of the stants, keeps quiet hands, and then 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.960 once he gets aligned in a position where he can strike, 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.279 then he throws the hands and gets on the outside 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.440 part of that man and lets his feet bring him 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.560 square to the block. And then he works around the 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.000 inside and holds up so that Kendall Lamb can clean 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:58.440 him up with the wash down block. 0:06:58.640 --> 0:06:59.680 That's very effective. 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.159 And then here comes Rob Hunt just getting surge in 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.480 that b gap that stacks everything up for the defense. 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.799 Smyth peels back and walls off the corner and Raheem 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.560 has an easy read with a bunch of bodies stacked 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.160 up and it's an easy bounce and waltz into the 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.640 end zone for six supreme supreme execution for six points. 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.000 The play design takes care of Jalen Petrie, who looks 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:22.800 like he's going to scrape off the edge and be 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.360 the guy that Raheem has to beat. But because Raheem 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.120 is flanked to the short side and kind of takes 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.880 his initial track away from all the action, you see 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.720 Peatree peek inside and gets caught in the wash. And 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.320 you just cannot design the play better. You cannot block 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.600 the play better. And we got lots of that in 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.640 the running game in this game. Buddy, I am, I 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.440 am fired up about what we saw in this game. 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.520 How about the sack on Skyler the fumble that he 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.480 recovered in the second quarter with fourteen forty one to play, 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.120 not much to break down. It's basically Will Anderson having 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.960 too good of a get off to allow you to 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.640 have any sort of delay with that backside guard pull 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.240 to wall off. Isaiah Winn tried to pull from his 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.160 left guard spot and go wall off the edge, but 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:00.800 he couldn't get out there because he got caught up 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.520 in the traffic and by the time he did get 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.560 out there. It was too late, and then Achmann had 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.520 no chance either. There's zero chance for him to get 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.760 into any kind of technique when the rushers that close 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.240 in his face off of a play action. Sometimes good 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.600 players make good plays, and that's what happened with will Anderson. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.160 How about a Chain's fifteen yard run on third and 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.120 fourteen with ten minutes to play in the second quarter. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:20.720 I know you guys know what I'm talking about. The 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:21.280 draw play. 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.640 It starts with a great technique from Rob Jones, who 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.880 has a two technique line up across from him. A 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.760 two technique is going to be head up over your 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.080 offensive guard. His first step takes him right into proper 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.440 position where he gets wide, and then he throws that 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.520 right handed punch and the rest of his weight kind 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.240 of whips around with him to seal that b gap 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.640 For a Chain to hit with authority, you get a 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.000 good seal by a way he hit right tackle. Dan 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.079 Feeney climbs up to get a piece at the second level, 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.079 and then Eric Sobert, his best block of camp as 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.320 a Dolph in my opinion, squares up his block and 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.920 it's just the rookie hitting the hole with conviction. He 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.319 was faster than the Texans could react. I don't think 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.199 they expected him to come out of the gates like that, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.680 and that's why he got a first down. Really impressive 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.720 on third and fourteen to convert on the ground. How 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.240 about a sixty five yard rush by Savon Akman the 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.520 second quarter. I think the key block there was River Craycraft. 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.920 He has a down block on a linebacker, and that's 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.040 a block that a linebacker has to beat. You cannot 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.960 let a receiver wall you off. You have to run 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.040 through it or get around it. And he couldn't and 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.240 as a result, Savan's off to the races. Look at 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.560 that Huskies and Cougars working together down here in South Florida. 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.280 Isaiah Winn had a terrific seal. Keon Smith held his 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.120 block for just long enough, and U Lave hit a 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.080 key block at the second level as well to spring Achmed. 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.560 Then it was just pure speed. The ensuing touchdown pass 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.160 from Skyler to Savan not much to it. Savan got 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.800 outside access, Skyler gets the ball to him early. 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.040 That's something I've been harping on. 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:41.440 He did it in this play, got to him early, 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.520 and it was over to the pylon for a touchdown. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.240 The touchdown passed to Barrios from Skyler late second quarter. 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.160 I'm not sure what the dB covering Barrios was doing 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.640 because he slowed down twice on the play, but it 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.240 was pretty similar to the route that Burios caught from Tua, 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.320 which we'll talk about here in a second on that 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.520 second drive of the game, where he worked and worked 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.640 to work to get on the upfield shoulder and then 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.079 rounded it off coming back to the quarterback, which put 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.280 the dB in a blind spot. And as he angles 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.360 back to the quarterback, that's the key. If he doesn't 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.360 come back to the quarterback there, that's a dangerous throw. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.640 But Skyler has time to deliver a good ball and 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.760 because of really really good pass pro, you get away. 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.760 He with one on one win. Key on Smith a 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:18.360 one on one win. 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.000 Same with Isaiah Wim and then Ulave and Feoene both 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.439 doubled their guys for a win to get great pass 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.040 pro for a lot of time on that third and 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.680 eleven touchdown strike from Skyler to Barrios. How about Skyler's 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.120 touchdown to Brooks the screen pass. The second level of 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.360 Texans defense just didn't see the screen coming. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.240 There's not like a lot to say, Wow, what a 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:36.839 great play here. 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:38.640 It just was the defense will slow to react, That's 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.360 really all it was and allowed us to get key 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.200 on Smith and Alama and Feenie out in front with 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.160 just one guy to block. Feoene gets the guy, River 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.600 gets a key block downfield. Then there's just Brooks bouncing 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.400 off a tackle at the five yard line with ease. 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.560 He's tough to bring down. He's had some good damn 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:53.280 tape down here. 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.120 It's going to be tough decision for the coaches in 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.800 that running back room because we've got some good ones. 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.360 Let's talk about Travis's ten favorite tapes. 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:00.000 We'll do that. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.000 Let's go ahead and do that after the break. Actually, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.160 that's coming up next on the Draft Time podcast. My 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.720 ten favorite individual player tapes from the game coming up next, 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:08.880 brought to you by Auto Nation. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:12.400 We've done the big plays. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:13.760 We're going to do that throughout the course of the 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.480 entire season, breaking down the biggest moments and you're Miami 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.800 Dolphins twenty twenty three season. Also going to give you 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:20.800 my ten favorite tapes, which hopefully is a little bit 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.719 easier than it was here because we had so many 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.560 guys to evaluate. But I broke it down to these 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.719 ten guys, and we'll talk about the honorable mention in 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.240 the PostScript on the other side here. So David Long, 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:30.880 I don't think he had a bad rep. He's my 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.040 number one guy on here. His very first play is 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.679 the second down run stuff they bring. They bring a 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.880 center downhill right at him at the goal line, and 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.120 he's giving up eighty pounds to this man, and he 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.040 bluffs a big collision and just side steps and throws 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.560 a guy who weighs three hundred plus pounds to the ground. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.400 I don't understand how he did that. It was an 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.360 incredible play. The next drive they run swing motion and 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.840 dump the ball and Nico Collins and you see Jerome 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:56.880 Baker run to the perimeter and get him to the 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.960 ground with his great speed. And that's great job by 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.480 Jerome Baker to do that. But you see Long before 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.040 the snap motion get out, get out wide, and Baker 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.240 runs all the way and starts early to help him 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.040 get to that position. I just think David Long understands 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.880 what offenses are trying to do, and he sees it 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.600 before they do it. And you see it on the 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.240 very next play when they motion away from the strength 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.000 of the formation and the backers shift over a gap 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.360 from their off ball positions. I believe that David Long 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.840 shifted to a stack position behind Rayquan Davis on the 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.560 defensive line, and then he immediately once he shifts, he 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.520 shoots that backside B gap and before the center can 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.079 get off his double team on Raquon Davis, which is 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.480 why I think that he understood alignment. And Zach Thomas 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.400 talked about this a lot, how important it is to 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.160 be correctly aligned so you can make these kinds of plays. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.920 That late shift I think kind of hid him behind 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.320 Rayquan on that double team, and he's able to just 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.240 pull the trigger and get in that B gap and 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.640 goes and knocks the running or the blocker out and 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.600 then knocks him into the ball carrier, then retraces and 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.439 makes the tackle on the ball carrier. Textbook Teach tape 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.760 Linebacker play. Three plays later, they run a toss and 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.679 once again, his anticipation is so good I froze it. 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.559 When the running back caught the football, David Long starts 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.360 has play five yards off the ball by the time 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.400 the running back catches the toss sweep, which is like 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.920 a half a second, he's already crossed the line of 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.960 scrimmage and by everybody else, big tackle for loss there. 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.440 And then just two plays later he slow plays his 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.000 trigger this time and then comes downhill and makes another 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.280 stop at the line of scrimmage. He had two run 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.240 stops on just five rundown wraps according to Pro Football Focus, 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.400 and that just tracks with the production in Tennessee. He 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:26.800 was one of the best run defenders in all of 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.800 football last year. He had seven coverage snaps and no targets. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.120 And by the way, comparing tackles for loss for run 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.760 defense is hilarious. David Long's a massive upgrade over what 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.440 we had a year ago. Savon Achmed's number two, although 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.360 he could easily be number one. Running backs jobs aside 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.240 from reading blocks and finding lanes and decision making, which 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.640 is the number one thing, is to execute the plays 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.839 when they're blocked right, But when you're one on one 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.280 in the situation, can you break the tackle? And boy 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.880 did he. He caught the swing one yard behind the 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.319 line of scrimmage on third and three. The tacklers there, 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.240 we already broke this play down on the other side 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:59.559 of the line of scrimmage. And he slips him and 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.720 runs for free fifteen more yards after the catch. The 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.319 ten yard run he had on our second touchdown drive 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.000 is the same action as the deep shot we just 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.080 missed from Skylar to Cedric Wilson, only this time they 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.160 do hand it off. So I love that balance of plays. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.160 It's the short side. Savanna is very much outflanked by 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.040 the entire linebacking crew, and he still wins the angle. 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.440 It's Gronkowski on Kenyan Drake ESQ speed you can clearly 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.560 see on his touchdown catch. I just like how he paced. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.760 It was wide open, but didn't waste any time, like 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.440 he knew he had space, didn't bother pressing the linebacker. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.600 Just get out wide and show the quarterback your numbers, 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.760 and he throws the football right there. Good speed, pacing, feel, 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.840 really everything. A great possession in a great game by 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.840 Savon Ahmed. Then he goes back out there in the 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.160 fourth courter and has back to back runs. One He's 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.840 got a middle linebacker in the A gap. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:43.520 It's one on one. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:47.000 The plays well blocked except for this linebacker all alone, 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.920 and he just jukes the jukes the jock off of him. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:51.840 It was crazy how much he left him in the dust. 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.040 Then the next play he follows the track without decelerating 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.640 and got key blocks from both Feeni and Elijah Higgins. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.640 For another big game where it's just no hesitation. He 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.160 just sees it and feels it and hits it and 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.280 goes We're going to play sound from McDaniel here in 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.080 just one second that talks about how I think this 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.960 running game is coming together. Year two, Pro Football Focus 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.320 had him with three runs of ten plus yards two 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.200 point four to six yards per route, ran five point 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.200 five yards of yak per ketch per catch. He forced 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.800 two miss tackles in total, and all of his catches 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.640 went for first downs. In fact, three of his twelve 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.680 runs did too, so sixteen touches for seven first downs. 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.160 I want to play this sound from coach. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.240 I asked him, how do you assess the running game 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.920 and how they've come together? Here in the second year, 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.760 we're seeing the results in the statistics in the box score. 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.080 How do you assess it? I love this answer here 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:35.960 from coach McDaniel. 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.200 Yeah, you know, I think you're starting to see some 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.880 of the stuff that I've talked to you guys about 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.960 to you know since day one that you know, what 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:50.560 we're trying to do up front and specifically with the 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:57.480 run game is demanding and it's very particular to you know, 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:05.880 a certain degree of technical technical technicalities of I don't know, 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.360 really physical fundamentals that are different than a lot of 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.520 guys do in the past. And that's a that's a 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:17.480 process and the you know, you don't just you know, 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.320 get to where you want in a week, a month, 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.000 sometimes a season, and a lot of times it takes 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.800 a couple years of development of of a whole group 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.920 to to get it to where you want. I think 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:37.560 are our starting group really took a step forward from 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.560 from that game. There's uh, the guys that are in position, 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.840 battles that did good things and and bad things. 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.520 That's all part of the process. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.560 I think that we are starting to exhibit some of 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.640 the stuff that you know, I really hoped we we 0:16:54.640 --> 0:17:00.720 would this offseason, and it's kind of really met close 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:02.040 to where I was hoping we'd be. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:09.240 To this point. What does that mean? It means you're you're, oh, 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.600 in the process where where where you'd like to be, 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.439 but it's not where you want to go. So I 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.120 thought that there's some real. 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:24.280 Positives that that is a direct correlation with complete and 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.720 utter commitment by the coaching staff and and the players. 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:33.160 I think you're starting to see some flashes of what 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.919 we think we can be. But again, it was great 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:42.040 work all week going against a different type of technique 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.920 and a different front and as a result, we we 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:49.440 did some good things on h on the game on Saturday, 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.160 and and there's some definite things that we can improve 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:56.040 upon that we'll be focusing on as we progress. 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.000 My next favorite tape is River Craycraft. He is such 0:17:59.040 --> 0:17:59.760 a good blocker. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:01.560 I love that we can go to him when you 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.120 have ten and seventeen getting a breather on the sideline 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.440 after their you know, fourteen vertical routes they run per game, 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.520 especially down in the red zone, where I know that 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.560 A he can give me a key block to spring 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:13.760 a touchdown and B he's going to be in the 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.239 right place and give your quarterback a trustee target who 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.720 will make a tough catch like the touchdown against Buffalo 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.360 last year, like the touchdown against Baltimore. He also had 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.360 three critical or the critical down block I should say 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.960 on the linebacker where he sprung Savan for a big 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.240 sixty five yard run up the sideline. It's just the 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.680 little things, man. There's two plays later after that where 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.600 Skyler throws what could have been a grounding ball, but 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.280 River sprints back to the play and extends his hands 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:38.600 as if to say, like, I had a shot at 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.480 that ball, and the refs had like eighty fives in 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:40.919 the area. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:42.240 Just these little details. 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.240 And then his catch on third and eleven at the 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.040 end of the third quarter reminded me so much of 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.400 what he did in the air raid at Washington State. 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.919 Go Koog's find space on an end breaker, make a 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.320 tough catch. This ball's way off of his frame. He 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.480 reaches out and plucks it and moves the sticks. Then 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.119 he finishes the drive with that key block downfield on 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.479 the Chris Brooks touchdown River Kreakkraft yourself a day. Julian 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.800 Hill is my fourth tape on here. These aren't necessarily 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.320 an order, but the first three ward but from here 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:08.600 on I don't think i'd put him in an order. 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.600 But he had a chip release where he immediately gets 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:12.840 into the route and it's teach tape. Chip, get off 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.119 the block, show the quarterback your numbers, and stay moving 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.200 so you can get upfield and just catches it six 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.000 yards short of the sticks, immediately gets into that run 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.040 and turns it into fourth and one that we later 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.439 converted later on that drive, he comes back and has 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.399 a very good run block rep where he chips and 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.000 climbs and takes out the safety on a Savon akhmed 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.479 ten yard run. He's got some pretty damn good feel man. 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.919 Very next play he pulls, catches a piece of the 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.680 nose who won inside, and then continues on that track 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:38.040 like I don't think he's supposed to hit the center, 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.199 but he did it anyway, then attaches to the safety 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:44.040 after he disengages for river Crai craft block our perimeter 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.120 running game looks really damn good, man, Like, it looks 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:47.800 really good. I think the work of a tight ends 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:48.640 and receivers are. 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:49.280 A big part of that. 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.920 In fact, let's go back to coach McDaniel on how 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:53.040 those guys did. 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:58.600 There are some cool things. You know. That position. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:01.720 Is really at the point of attack at a lot of 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.320 times in what we do in the run game, and 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:10.080 I thought the tight ends utilize the opportunity to do 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:14.160 some things from from tight ends positions. We we had 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.640 them in the in the backfield as fullbacks sometimes, uh, 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.560 and and it was something that that group wouldn't have 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:23.159 been able to do three weeks ago. I don't think 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:29.760 in its entirety. So uh, there in lies a success 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.600 by itself, the fact that they were able to go 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.240 out and and do some cool things. I think they 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:41.320 we we have. We have some good players that have 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:46.199 skills that we can really utilize in this offense that 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:51.160 historically found ways to kind of utilize their skill sets, 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.040 and guys are starting to kind of feel what those 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.960 are within the offense making some plays in the run 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:02.760 game and the past game. So they're a huge part 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:09.200 in what we do offensively that sometimes relates to big 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:14.440 box scores. Sometimes it doesn't, but it's a very very 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:18.400 critical position that I thought some guys that we really 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:24.719 believe in, whether they are vested veterans or you know, 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:27.720 young players that are rookies in the NFL, I thought 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:31.320 they all contributed to the offense, which is one of 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:33.920 the reasons we were able to have some success. 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:37.520 I thought Ryan Hayes had a really good cameo in 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:39.080 this game. Obviously not a lot of reps for a 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.159 seventh round pick playing late in the fourth quarter, but 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:42.920 he got my attention on the first rep where he 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.119 had really good seal or surge, I should say, and 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.840 then reattached and sealed his guy after losing the initial 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:51.280 like engagement. Two plays later, he's finding work on the 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.600 second level, like go get him. He fell off a 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.640 block and then went and found somebody else and hit 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:57.919 that block. I thought he looked really good in pass protection. 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.400 He comes back a drive later and seals the edge 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:02.760 on the eleven yard Chris Brooks run, and then again 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.240 another sealed edge on a six yard run from Brooks. 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.199 He was the top graded pass blocker no pressures on 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:10.879 ten pass blocking stabs for Ryan Hayes. Putting together some 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.120 good workout here. I thought Kendall Lamb looked the part. 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.479 And we heard coach talk about how comfortable they are 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.160 with a depth on the offensive line, and I tend 0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:19.359 to agree, because no one has good depth on their 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.600 offensive line right now. But Miami has a bunch of 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:23.480 guys who have played for a long time, and I 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:25.879 think Kendall Lamb's the ideal swing tackle if he's not 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:27.119 your right tackle to begin with. 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:29.439 I do think that Austin Jackson's run. 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:32.679 Game prowess is superior to Kendall Lambs and with the 0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:34.400 way two it gets the ball out. I can see 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:35.960 why you would kind of take the hit and pass 0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:39.159 pro to get better mauling and run game work, because 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:41.240 Austin can do such so many things out in space 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:43.640 on all those toss plays to Raheem and a chain 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:45.760 and all the guys that have speed, Austin can get 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:47.680 out there and kind of knock out some dbs in space. 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:51.119 But Kendall Lamb first stunt of the game just wipes 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:53.920 it out, handles it perfectly with Isaiah Win. Next play, 0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:56.240 there's a screen to Eric Azukama where he does a 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:59.119 little fake pass set which sells the upfield rush and 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:01.280 then he gets wide. These are the veteran types of 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:03.159 moves a nine year pro can make that puts you 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.200 in good position. Very next rep does something similar where 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:08.760 he gets he has forty five I don't know who 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.280 it was, number forty five isolated with a slide protection 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:13.320 away that puts him on an island like he would 0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:16.000 see with Toron Armston at left tackle. Lamb gets into 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.600 his pass set, fake throws the hands and gets this 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:21.600 forty five this player to show his pass rush move. 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:24.720 Then he just punches the exposed chest that he gave 0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:26.160 him and locks down the rep. 0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:28.360 It was he looked really good. He's looked good. 0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:31.879 All Camp second highest graded pass blocker, which is a 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:34.400 coincidence for me because for instance, they had River Craykraft 0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:36.439 with a second worst run blocking gray that I do 0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:39.560 not at all agree with. But nine pass blocking snaps 0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:42.280 no pressures for Kendall. Lamb Channing Tendall one of my 0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:45.280 favorite tapes as well. He can play that screen out 0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:48.200 wide where we really got a retrace from Malik Reid 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:52.600 and Ignoginy Holts contain outside. You see Tendall recognize it 0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:54.399 early and pull the trigger and go make a big 0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:55.320 hit and a tackle. 0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:56.120 I think the. 0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:59.320 Rep on the swing that he thwarted demonstrates his growth 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:02.639 because he worked over, kept his depth, and analyzed the 0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:05.080 play while he's still moving to get with in depth. 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:07.320 Then he realizes once the route has kind of camped 0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:09.480 out there, he drives and gets himself on there for 0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:12.480 a pass breakup. Very next play has a man match play, 0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:15.040 which is a different technique altogether against a tight end, 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.240 and I think that he was ready to carry him vertically, 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.359 but he sat down, squatted, drove on the outbreaker and 0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:23.160 broke it up in the hook zone. He's playing really good, 0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:25.359 and he's breaking up passes and playing the run really well. 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:27.720 He was the second highest graded player on defense from 0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:30.400 Pro Football Focus. Had a run stop on just three 0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:33.439 downs against the run and had sixteen plays in coverage, 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:35.520 targeted just twice, and he broke both of them up. 0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.960 Braxton Barrios gets in the top ten tapes. His route 0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:41.800 on the first reception from Tua on that really good 0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:44.840 anticipation ball was the exact same as his touchdown. Where 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.760 you have Perriman, the linebacker is walling off a crosser 0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:50.760 with inside leverage, and how do you prevent that player 0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:52.960 from reading your break and driving it undercutting the throw. 0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:55.120 You have to convince him you're gonna run the crossing route. 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.800 So Braxton breaks this thing down and gets over the 0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:00.720 inside shoulder, uses the long arm in with the foot 0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:02.280 in the ground, and breaks it back to the perimeter. 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:05.240 And Perriman is not in position to drive because he's 0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:07.840 not standing in an attacking position because he had to 0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:10.639 retreat to respect the threat of that crosser. It's a 0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:13.240 plus route running from Braxon burials he did all night long. 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:15.840 I thought Cedric Wilson had a top ten tape two 0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:18.240 really good routes the fourth and one. On Skyler's first 0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:21.720 scoring drive, He's slot one on one, does a stutter release, 0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:24.200 sells the inside, gets the defensive back to take the 0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.840 cheese inside, and then gets back outside for a very 0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:29.880 easy first down conversion against that same man free look, 0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:32.399 single high safety man coverage. And I just want to 0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:35.440 hammer this point home because on the first two short 0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:37.600 yards plays on third and fourth down third or fourth 0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:41.720 and short, we get man coverage and one inside the 0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.680 slot position with outbreaking routes. This is just another thing 0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:47.160 that teams will have to contend with if they pull 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:49.160 that outside corner down and it's a home run shot 0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:51.399 up the sideline. That fourth down win he had was 0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:53.960 the exact same thing on the last touchdown drive where 0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:57.040 Skyler is knowing where he's going there because the defense 0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.199 was shifted to the strength of the formation, so he 0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:01.600 has a two way go for Cedric in the slot 0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:04.159 and he sells the dB on this outside move and 0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:06.199 cross his face and the ball found him. 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:07.359 I thought, Cedrick Wilson. 0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:09.880 Look at a very good NFL wide receiver in this game. 0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:12.560 Hopefully he can keep that going and then finally DeShawn Hand. 0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:14.960 This is a good player man. He's played lots of 0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:17.080 reps the last couple of weeks, and though the box 0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:19.600 score is not flashy, there's plenty of plays on tape 0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:22.920 where the back is essentially making an extra move because 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:25.800 of the gap fit that DeShawn Hand has shown. So 0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:28.159 those are my top ten tapes. Deshan Hans, Cedrick Wilson, 0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:33.440 Braxon Barrios, Channing, Tyndall, Kendall lamb Ryan Hayes, Julian Hill, River, 0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:36.520 Crai Craftsavon Achmed and David Long. Let's go ahead and 0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:38.080 take our last break right there and come back on 0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:39.879 the other side and do additional notes. We're gonna talk 0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:41.760 about Tua game and the rest of the guys that 0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:43.600 I did not mention in my top ten tapes. That's 0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:46.600 next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:51.560 you by I don't knowation. We are into the third 0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:53.480 segment here of a Draft Time podcast and we have 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.400 not talked about Tua Tongue Bailoa's game. Despite the interception, 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:57.880 we did talk about that to kick off the show. 0:26:58.000 --> 0:26:59.919 Let's talk about the rest of his game. The local 0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:03.119 on that Durham's My throw was perfect. There's brackets everywhere 0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:05.800 except for on Durham and Raheem. But Raheem would have 0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:08.119 to broken two tackles to get the first down, and 0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:10.320 the location got us the completion and the first down. 0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:12.359 It's a really good ball placement and we'll talk more 0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:14.840 about that here in a second. On the savan Achmed swing, 0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:17.000 it's a great example of two was processing those two 0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:20.399 nasty split wide receiver dbs up against off dbs. You 0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.040 can see the banjo coverage and Tua just works those 0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:26.320 guys and understands quickly that they're off and the Savann 0:27:26.359 --> 0:27:28.520 has a lane and gets it to him very quickly, 0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:30.439 and he got it out fast because the double a 0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:32.879 gap mug ups would have put pressure on him and 0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:34.359 had him hit if he did not do that. The 0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:36.720 anticipation throw to Brax and Barrows for the first down 0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:38.280 was just as nasty as it gets. 0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:38.520 Man. 0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:40.160 What's cool about the anticipation. 0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:43.440 It's not just the throw reading the app you know 0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:46.080 the coverage and of that defender and knowing the underneath 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:48.480 route to help clear the space for Braxton in that spot. 0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:51.679 Tua knows the development of his pocket and he hitches 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:53.919 up to a cleaner part of the pocket. That is 0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:56.959 two a superpower man understanding of time and space on 0:27:57.000 --> 0:27:59.760 top of the location of the football obviously, but both 0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.400 as a thrower and pocket navigator, and the best part 0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:04.760 of the tape for me the throws to Barrios and Smyth. 0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:07.840 We're both against what was Cover six and what that 0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:11.320 means is essentially to what has to identify where the 0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:13.640 man coverages, like there's a single one on one look 0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:16.639 that he has. Everyone else is bracketed by zones, and 0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:19.400 you just throw it from the leverage of that defender, 0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:22.240 essentially the wall defender who's taking off the middle part 0:28:22.280 --> 0:28:24.560 of the field, which he's gonna see tons of this 0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.160 year because the Dolphins lived their bread and butter down 0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:28.960 the middle, So teams are going to run that cover 0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:31.800 six that takes away big intermediate portions of the field, 0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:33.960 you know, on the interior, and we saw the Chargers 0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:35.240 do loss of that two man that does some of 0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:37.320 the same stuff last year. If you can throw these 0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:39.640 routes that you know threaten the crosser but break back 0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:41.680 to the outside with that kind of timing and anticipation, 0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:43.880 there's no defense for this offense if you can do 0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:47.080 that consistently, looks like he has twice in one drive 0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:49.160 here did get picked off once, which you know it's 0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:51.240 not never a good thing. But I just think that 0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:53.840 that's a counter to what the Dolphins did so well 0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:55.640 last year. And I want to go to the SoundBite 0:28:55.640 --> 0:28:57.520 for McDaniel in a second, but first two of from 0:28:57.560 --> 0:29:00.400 PFF two for three with thirty one yards against pressure, 0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:02.520 two for two with twenty yards win blitz. That's really 0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:05.040 good numbers there when the defense turns up the heat. 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:07.080 But back to that counter idea, let's go back to 0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:09.600 this audio from August ninth, when coach McDaniel was asked 0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.160 about showing stuff off in joint practice. I think this 0:29:12.280 --> 0:29:15.600 commentary on how a system should operate if constructed properly, 0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:18.440 is a good indicator of how this team needs to 0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:19.320 have a counter to. 0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:20.400 Those interior throws. 0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:22.320 The two was so good at last year, and we 0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:24.600 already have examples in the preseason right now of TWOA 0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:26.840 doing just that adding more to his tools. 0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:29.400 Here's coach, It's something that you have to kind of 0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:33.680 be forward thinking. I'm very aware when we have fan 0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:40.200 days of technology. I'm very aware of stadium practices. I'm 0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:47.880 very aware of joint practices. There's a balance, and for me, 0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:56.160 I'm less secretive then I think I would have thought 0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:58.800 it would have been early in my career, just because 0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:06.080 you know, they if the if the offense is constructed 0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:10.880 the right way, everything has a counter to it. So 0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:14.840 at this point we have to get good at stuff. 0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:19.600 I probably hide less, but there's definitely stuff that that 0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:23.280 you don't you don't want to put on tape, especially 0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:26.040 if you're iron iron the kinks out of it. So 0:30:27.400 --> 0:30:31.520 it's a fun balance. But for the most part, we're 0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:37.200 just trying to create situation, create situations that are competitive 0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:42.360 within offense that we do do so that with the 0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:45.640 idea of being you get to evaluate guys and guys 0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:50.000 are put in difficult positions like a game or hopefully 0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:51.120 more difficult positions. 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.400 Next quarterback scholar Thompson, I think the creativity is the 0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:56.840 best part of his game because the on rhythm stuff 0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.120 just it might take some time for to get their 0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:01.160 scholars playing in a back different offense than he played 0:31:01.160 --> 0:31:03.600 in college. But he just needs the offscript stuff because 0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.960 it's just not still not quick yet. But that jump 0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:09.360 pass conversion to savon Achmed on the first touchdown drive. 0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:11.320 He had it in rhythm for a very easy catch 0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:13.160 and run, and it's a one on one for Savon 0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:14.960 with a safety if he does put it in there 0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:17.680 on time, but he doesn't see it and invites pressure. 0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:19.880 He makes up four by winning off script. But it 0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:21.520 gets frustrating sometimes watch the tape. 0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:22.840 Just cut it, loose, throw it. 0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:24.720 I liked the first play the second half when it 0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:27.080 looks like he had Cedric Wilson on a dig, but 0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:30.440 the Mike linebacker winds up carrying vertical to undercut it. 0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:33.000 I think Skyler saw his back and decided to step 0:31:33.080 --> 0:31:35.080 up and run the football. Then he gets pressure and 0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:36.920 Julian Hill gets off of his chip. I mentioned that 0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:39.120 earlier Julian Hill what a great game he had, and 0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:42.000 just shovels it forward again. Skyler's strength is that creativity 0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:44.360 when he can get to it. Pro Football Focus had 0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:46.760 him at four for seven against pressure for twenty five yards, 0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:49.120 three for six against the Blitz with thirteen yards. He 0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:50.960 did have two point sixty three seconds to throw. It 0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:54.000 was under pressure on eight of twenty four dropbacks, kept clean, 0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:56.440 eleven for fifteen with a buck thirty two and all 0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:58.880 three touchdowns, so scheme and pass blocking very good in 0:31:58.920 --> 0:31:59.240 this game. 0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:02.600 I thought devon a change. We mentioned savon Aukmann earlier. 0:32:02.720 --> 0:32:05.479 His ability to quickly accelerate after it has to stop, 0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:09.240 it's really popping right now. Like his ability to fall 0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:12.360 forward through contact at his size also so impressive. And 0:32:12.400 --> 0:32:14.560 then two plays later after I noted that he pushes 0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:16.360 the pile for an extra three yards and turns a 0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:18.840 second and twelve into a second nine. I just I'm 0:32:18.880 --> 0:32:21.760 so impressed by him three yards after contact on average 0:32:21.800 --> 0:32:25.360 missed two force tackles or force missed tackles twice on 0:32:25.440 --> 0:32:27.440 just six rushing attempts. I just wanted to note where 0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:30.080 he most are shiftiness and how nifty he is getting 0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:33.520 through small creases four point three three yards after initial 0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:36.360 contact really kind of bears that fruit. At receiver Tyreek 0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.760 Hill on the speed out, just watching him throttle down 0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:40.800 and the little things he does to find details blow 0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:43.320 me away so much. Because Desmond King is mirroring him 0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:45.680 and obviously is terrified of the deep release, and so 0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:48.400 Tyreek widens his release and King reacts to this by 0:32:48.480 --> 0:32:51.520 jumping to outside leverage like he overplays the outside leverage, 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:53.800 but still is getting depth, and so what Tyreek does, 0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:56.320 I think in the moment is recognizes this and takes 0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:59.320 another jab step inside and this spun king all the 0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:00.920 way out and he took off run on the wrong 0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:03.360 way and then there's ten yards of separation on a 0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:06.440 five yard throws. The easiest completion of Tua's career because 0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:08.800 against this man free look, he can just find a 0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:10.760 way to threaten deep and get back to the perimeter. 0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:11.680 Reminded me of the. 0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:14.400 Lions play went to a hit Tyreek deep, but we 0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:16.200 have a conversion off of that in case the safety 0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:17.920 gets over the top, because that was zero coverage. 0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:18.800 This is cover one. 0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:21.040 The safety could have got over the top, So throttle 0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.720 down and get outside, threaten him vertically, threaten him to 0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:24.720 the perimeter. 0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:25.800 It's a lot to cover. 0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:28.479 I thought Eric Azukama just really glides in and out 0:33:28.520 --> 0:33:29.840 of his routes. But I do think there's a little 0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:31.840 bit of detail missing, and then that I think is 0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:33.560 kind of lacking from some of the other guys what 0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:35.560 I saw on tape. There's a throw to him from 0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:37.800 Scott Thompson. It's late and behind, but he reaches back 0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:40.160 and snatches it and just keeps gliding into the run 0:33:40.240 --> 0:33:43.040 after the catch him on drags and mesh and screens 0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:44.680 and things where he just kind of can keep cooking. 0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:45.680 I like that for him. 0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:48.000 It kind of looked like the seventy five yard touchdown 0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:50.640 play to Sherfield in San Francisco, and I think better 0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:52.480 timing and a better throw could have seen a similar 0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:54.400 result because he had one on one in open space 0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:57.240 to maybe go to the house. I thought he rushed 0:33:57.240 --> 0:33:59.080 that route later on the drive where he rounded it off, 0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:00.600 and that's kind of the detail I I talked about 0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:04.240 earlier at tight end. I mentioned Julian Hill Elijah Higgins 0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:06.880 cooked shat Griffin on a vertical route, swiped the hands, 0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:08.319 stacked him, but we did not get to see the 0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:10.919 throw because it didn't go there. On the offensive line, 0:34:11.040 --> 0:34:13.719 I thought Austin Jackson had some really impressive work mixed 0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:15.360 in with some not so impressive stuff. 0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:18.360 But he hit this great reach block where he basically. 0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.680 Had to cut off a two technique that's or a 0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:23.239 three technique rather, which is off the outside shoulder of 0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:25.000 the guard, and he put the guy on the ground 0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:27.640 by turning and sealing him on that first positive play 0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:29.880 after the first two nightmare plays. I just feel like 0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:32.520 Austin's kind of a throwback right tackle used to put 0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:34.400 guys in the position who would just knock heads in 0:34:34.400 --> 0:34:36.040 the running game and kind of be a road grader, 0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:38.120 except in addition to some really good plays at the 0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:41.120 point of attack. You know, Austin's like Tron Armstead, and 0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:43.120 he has athletic ability where he can get out wide 0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:45.640 on those toss plays. And there's a player where they 0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:47.719 cracked back with Ruver Craycraft and he goes out and 0:34:47.719 --> 0:34:51.120 pancakes the Sam linebacker. That's two really really good run 0:34:51.160 --> 0:34:54.200 blocking plays on the opening drive. But the recognition stuff 0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:56.359 is still some work. There's a play where he washes down 0:34:56.360 --> 0:34:58.520 a two I technique which is on the inside shoulder 0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:00.960 of your guard, and you know Rob Hunt didn't need 0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:02.880 help with that, and he comes in and cleans it 0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:04.359 all up, but it gives a free guy a run 0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:06.239 on the outside. Some stuff he could work on. But 0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:08.640 I think there's positives out there for Austin Jackson. Pro 0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:10.839 Football Focus had him with two pressures on nine pass 0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:13.680 blocking snaps. Both were hurries. We mentioned those and the 0:35:13.680 --> 0:35:16.080 stretch of the defense put on him twice. So some 0:35:16.239 --> 0:35:18.800 given take there with Austin Jackson. Rob Hunt had a 0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:21.360 phenomenal first drive, had a couple of pancakes on the 0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:22.920 first place, just move guys. 0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:23.640 And threw him to the ground. 0:35:23.800 --> 0:35:25.600 Had some slip ups, some pass protection, but for the 0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:27.720 most part was really good in this game. Thought Isaiah 0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:30.400 Winn had a really good game except for rush or 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:32.799 some pass protection reps. There was a stunt pick up 0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:34.560 on the first third down. We'll see this later on 0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:37.840 with a change of direction skills while striking hands, he 0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:40.000 just he glides back and forth left to right to 0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:41.759 help pick up those stunts, and we've worried about that 0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:44.120 for so long in Miami picking up stunts on the 0:35:44.160 --> 0:35:46.480 offensive line. The movement he gets in the running game 0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:48.600 is a translation of the feet where he takes on 0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:50.759 contact from a slant A guy trying to cross his 0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:53.840 face from the three technique position, stands him up, displaces 0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:57.239 him still and Skyler's second drive, Isaiah gets a pass 0:35:57.320 --> 0:35:59.200 rush off his left shoulder from a three technique and 0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:01.120 he works over to four worth the move. The three 0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:03.440 reacts with a spin back inside, but because when did 0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:05.239 a good job staying back in his stance with a 0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.120 gorgeous drop step where he opens that right hip and 0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:10.759 gets himself some more depth. It just diminishes any chance 0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:13.640 with the defensive rusher to use him as leverage, and 0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:16.440 his spin moves goes for not. He settles into reposition 0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:18.959 set and snatches the rusher and brings him to the ground. 0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:21.200 Really good work there. He did get walked. 0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:22.920 Back a couple of times, and there was one hit 0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:25.000 on Skyla where his man got through the outside post 0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:27.160 that he could not protect. Could be what coach talks 0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:28.759 about here in his presser with up and down play 0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:30.640 from Isaiah win. But I come away from this game 0:36:30.719 --> 0:36:32.359 saying that's your left guard day one. 0:36:32.560 --> 0:36:38.040 That Isaiah got his feet wet in the system to degree. 0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:40.640 I think he did a real good job. 0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:44.680 Trying to attack our techniques, and there's stuff that he 0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:49.560 wants to improve upon. That's so the whole evaluation process 0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:54.000 in general, you know, just like a game doesn't end. 0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:56.799 After the third. 0:36:56.600 --> 0:37:01.000 Quarter, you know, I think right now you're taking the 0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:05.040 game tape and then you're you're applying it the pros 0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:07.560 and cons, trying to build on the real good stuff 0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:09.640 that he did and then trying to improve upon the 0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:13.319 stuff that he knows that you know, he can do 0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:17.040 better and then we'll evaluate that week or this week 0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:20.400 as it would be, and what he's what he's able 0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:22.800 to do in the game moving forward. So it was 0:37:22.840 --> 0:37:29.560 an important piece, but I can't emphasize piece more. The 0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:34.840 good games are are we're had by many, many players, 0:37:34.840 --> 0:37:36.239 and you want to see what they do with that 0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:41.080 moving forward. And you know, because the whole key is 0:37:41.480 --> 0:37:44.160 like a football team, you need to be your best 0:37:44.480 --> 0:37:47.200 at the end of the season. So you have to 0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:50.399 be a player that continues to progress week to week 0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:54.880 and we get better as as the season progresses. 0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:58.240 PFF had two pressures on twenty five pass blocking snaps 0:37:58.239 --> 0:38:01.200 for when Connor Williams is to climb and work off 0:38:01.239 --> 0:38:03.200 the help and attach at the second level is so 0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:06.200 good he has to be so frustrating for opposing linebackers. 0:38:06.600 --> 0:38:08.800 I had Keon Smith having a rough game, getting whipped 0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:11.160 a couple of times and kind of having a fall 0:38:11.239 --> 0:38:14.080 back game after his first one. Some not so good 0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:17.200 work from Dan Feenie either and Lave he's got to 0:38:17.239 --> 0:38:18.680 learn how to pass off games. Man. There's a couple 0:38:18.719 --> 0:38:20.400 of players they got him twisted up and he was 0:38:20.520 --> 0:38:21.520 on the ground a few times. 0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:23.120 Let's talk some defensive notes here. 0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:25.520 In general, I love that forty front to kick off 0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:27.360 the game, where you have a two technique and a 0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:29.560 four technique on either side, and then you bring both 0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:32.480 linebackers down to essentially give you six gaps accounted for 0:38:32.840 --> 0:38:35.680 the tight end short motions in and Ogba widens his 0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:38.279 technique by one like a four technique head up over 0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:40.400 the tackle, kicks out to a five technique over his 0:38:40.440 --> 0:38:42.600 outside shoulder, and it took him right to a play. 0:38:42.840 --> 0:38:44.920 I think this tape has a lot of team execution, 0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:47.880 eleven guys doing their job, staying true to their rules, 0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:50.840 and just getting the job done at honest, NFL is 0:38:50.880 --> 0:38:53.000 a former NFL personnel guy or something. I don't know 0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:54.800 what he did, but he's a great Twitter follow. He 0:38:54.800 --> 0:38:56.799 has a bunch of Vic Fangio tweets, and you can 0:38:56.840 --> 0:38:58.600 just see he said, you can see the scheme clicking 0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:01.600 already for Fanjo because he's in the scheme so many times, 0:39:01.719 --> 0:39:03.759 it's not going to have those growing pains. And you 0:39:03.880 --> 0:39:06.600 just didn't see things surprise guys, like when passing off. 0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:08.680 There was no free runners down the field. The few 0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:11.480 Texans positive plays were really just solid execution and some 0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:12.719 damn good throws by C. J. 0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:14.920 Stroud. I think the best way I can explain it. 0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:18.399 They make their vulnerabilities positions that take a long time 0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:21.520 to get to, like slow developing four second routes, and 0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:23.680 a couple of times I saw guys come opening down 0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:25.520 the field on a deep crosser or a deep post 0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:27.600 or whatever it might have been. The pass rush is 0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:29.560 already there, though, which is the idea, right If you 0:39:29.560 --> 0:39:31.319 can get there in four seconds and we can't get home, 0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:33.719 then good for you. In fact, coach McDaniel was asked 0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:36.239 about Vic Fangio and his Monday press conference and had 0:39:36.280 --> 0:39:39.840 some enlightening commentary about technique and fundamentals, but also taste 0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:40.240 and music. 0:39:40.280 --> 0:39:41.120 Let's play that sound. 0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:46.600 Vick has been absolutely phenomenal for the players, coaches, the organization. 0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:51.920 It kind of fits exactly with what I saw from 0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:52.600 the beginning. 0:39:52.719 --> 0:39:55.879 I saw a lot of synergy and him and I. 0:39:55.880 --> 0:39:59.080 Ironically, I think a lot of people were like, huh 0:39:59.120 --> 0:40:01.799 when I say that, uh, you know, the the way 0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:05.759 we approach football, the way that that you know, our 0:40:05.800 --> 0:40:11.920 fundamental philosophies of how to teach accountability uh towards the 0:40:11.960 --> 0:40:19.600 player and then the the requisite accountability necessary from players 0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:21.719 to to what we're asking them to do. 0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:22.920 The commitment to. 0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:29.719 Absolutely the best fundamentals and and technique that you can 0:40:30.880 --> 0:40:35.279 that that that you yourself can really come up with over 0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:36.440 a lifetime of football. 0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:40.560 He's been He's delivered on that tenfold. 0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:46.840 I think that the it's been cool to offset you know. 0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:50.760 You know, we have we have quite different different musical tastes, 0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:56.680 so uh, you know, sometimes incorporate some of his his 0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:01.240 music into you know, team meeting situations, and I promise 0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:05.840 you the players know exactly whose musical tastes those are 0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:07.000 when they're being played. 0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:08.800 But I think that's. 0:41:08.640 --> 0:41:13.160 Important, you know, to have to have some you know, 0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:19.040 it just kind of speaks to the broader scope of 0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:22.640 and vision of what this organization can be, which is 0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:31.840 there's cut from many different cloths. There's one sole commitment 0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:36.719 that's to winning football games and really empowering players with 0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:40.080 their the best tools that they could have. So I 0:41:40.120 --> 0:41:43.560 think that it embodies that and you know, pretty much 0:41:45.160 --> 0:41:48.200 if it isn't already obvious, Ig Fangio and myself were 0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:49.439 the same guy in. 0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:52.279 Total on defense fifteen pressures on forty four dropbacks. The 0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:54.520 Texans had a passer rating of sixty two point two 0:41:54.520 --> 0:41:56.520 and average just four point four yards per attempt. 0:41:56.680 --> 0:41:57.560 A few more notes here. 0:41:57.600 --> 0:41:59.319 I thought Rake one had some good reps where he 0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:01.319 was a one ship and he whipped the guard and 0:42:01.360 --> 0:42:02.799 gets a piece of the ball. Carry and the second 0:42:02.840 --> 0:42:05.239 play of the game off the edge, Bradley Chubb was 0:42:05.239 --> 0:42:07.080 really good for just a few snaps. I've been a 0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:08.920 broken record all camp. Then he goes out in the 0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:10.400 first play and just does the same thing I've been 0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:12.440 talking about where he works downhill through a block to 0:42:12.480 --> 0:42:14.399 stack up a run. Then he comes off and makes 0:42:14.440 --> 0:42:17.040 the play alongside Cater Kohu, who just loves to stick 0:42:17.080 --> 0:42:19.200 his face in the fan and make plays with his physicality. 0:42:19.480 --> 0:42:22.320 Just two plays later you see him and his athletic abilities. 0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:24.480 He goes unblocked with the design of the plays to 0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:26.360 take care of him, with the traffic by the running 0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:28.760 back and the tight end on play pass whose route 0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:30.840 is kind of a natural chip, he just side steps 0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:31.120 both of. 0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:33.000 Them and then goes and hits c J. Stroud for 0:42:33.040 --> 0:42:33.719 the incompletion. 0:42:34.040 --> 0:42:36.160 PFF had him with a run stop on two run 0:42:36.200 --> 0:42:38.360 defense downs and a pressure on three pass rush downs. 0:42:38.520 --> 0:42:41.680 Pretty productive day for Bradley Chubb. I thought Emmanuel Ogba 0:42:41.800 --> 0:42:43.680 and Zach Steeler did really good work to hold their 0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:46.040 blocks and shed when the ball carrier came their way. 0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:48.920 Ogba had two run stops on nine rundowns and a 0:42:48.920 --> 0:42:51.520 pressure on eleven pass rush downs. Didn't really notice this 0:42:51.560 --> 0:42:54.080 on the initial watch, but Malik Reid had two really 0:42:54.120 --> 0:42:56.360 good back to back reps. On one, he undresses the 0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:58.560 right tackle and you can see him get mad because 0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:00.480 he's going to come clean on the quarterback, but the 0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:03.319 plays ruled dead for a pre snap Texans penalty. Then 0:43:03.360 --> 0:43:05.399 he worked inside and beat a polar for a run 0:43:05.400 --> 0:43:07.680 stuff on the very next play. Two pressures on nine 0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:09.319 pass rushes and it could have been three on ten 0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:10.319 for a sack if it. 0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:11.320 Wasn't for the penalty. 0:43:11.600 --> 0:43:14.600 I sure do love Mitchell a gooday aggressively attacking the 0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:17.120 split flow block, beating it and going again at TfL. 0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:18.360 That was cool to see. 0:43:18.440 --> 0:43:21.200 I thought Cameron Good and Garrett Nelson showed off their motors. 0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:24.160 They combined with three pressures apiece for six total. I 0:43:24.239 --> 0:43:26.759 mentioned Tendall Long and the off ball linebacker top ten 0:43:26.840 --> 0:43:29.360 tapes and then defensive backs to Sean Elliott on that 0:43:29.480 --> 0:43:32.080 Chubb pressure on third and goal. He recognizes the tight 0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:35.080 end flat before it even happens and showed you excellent 0:43:35.120 --> 0:43:37.560 closing speed. He would have shut that down even if 0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:40.680 Chubb's pressure didn't force the incompletion. Then on fourth down, 0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:43.000 he fights around a pick and gets himself into good 0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:45.239 shape for a little jerk route, but Stroud throws the 0:43:45.239 --> 0:43:48.040 flat and it's incomplete anyway. The Dolphins red zone defense 0:43:48.080 --> 0:43:50.880 looks really good early on. He was targeted twice to 0:43:50.960 --> 0:43:53.439 not allow catch. That's eleven total coverage steps. I thought 0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:56.600 X and Cater on X's pass breakup played that stack 0:43:56.680 --> 0:44:00.360 switch perfectly on that Texans fourth down failure. Stays on 0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:03.239 the outside hip and carries Nico Collins vertically, and then 0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:06.200 X scraped off of that rub and fills the slant 0:44:06.239 --> 0:44:08.120 and just runs right off the hip and cuts in 0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:10.640 front of it and gets the pass breakup. Textbook play. 0:44:10.800 --> 0:44:13.040 I thought Eli Apple had a great game. I talked 0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:15.440 about him on the recap. His recognition of things unfolding 0:44:15.719 --> 0:44:17.400 just really stands out when you watch the tape from 0:44:17.400 --> 0:44:19.359 the wide shot. Did it twice in a three play span. 0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:21.799 I thought Verme McKinley had a really nice run fit 0:44:21.880 --> 0:44:24.400 on the Texan second drive playing in the box. We 0:44:24.440 --> 0:44:26.440 saw him mostly in the post last year, but the 0:44:26.440 --> 0:44:28.359 more you can do right then he does it again 0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:31.440 when he's severely overmatched from a size standpoint against a 0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:33.440 tight end, just beats the block and makes a tackle. 0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:36.040 Elijah Campbell. I still love that near pick, even with 0:44:36.040 --> 0:44:38.279 the illegal contact call. I can see why they called it, 0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:40.160 but the way he played that and keyed the quarterback 0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:43.160 and got that drop in coverage was very impressive. And 0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:45.560 then Perry Nickerson, he can play man those man beaters. 0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:47.879 We praised the offense for the Texans get one here 0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:50.480 with Davis Mills and Nickerson flips the hips and drives 0:44:50.640 --> 0:44:53.000 transitions very smoothly out of that back pedal and gets 0:44:53.040 --> 0:44:55.520 a pass breakup and Finn. That's the end of the podcast. 0:44:55.600 --> 0:44:56.240 A long one. 0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:58.080 It won't always be that long, but when you're breaking 0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:00.360 down ninety guys, it's going to be a long Podcas asked, 0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:02.200 But I like this format a lot more than last year. 0:45:02.280 --> 0:45:04.200 Let me know what you guys think on Twitter tomorrow 0:45:04.239 --> 0:45:06.920 back at practice plus assistant coach Audio all of that 0:45:06.960 --> 0:45:08.080 coming away here on Drivetime. 0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:09.680 In the meantime, that's gonna be my time. 0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:12.000 You all Please be sure subscribe, rate review for the 0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:14.279 podcast wherever you get it.
