Speaker 1: You're listening to the Miami Dolphins podcast Network. This is
Speaker 1: Drivetime with Travis Whinfield. Back to throw to a looking
Speaker 1: GIPSLCA wine olfan touchtop click call man, I want to
Speaker 1: help you soon up on his man way and wattle
Speaker 1: wattle to a shotgun back to throw, looking steps up
Speaker 1: fires touch It's waddle, It's six touchdown paradlay. Drive Time
Speaker 1: with Travis Winfield begins. Now let me check your pulse
Speaker 1: if you're not. What is up? Doll fans and welcome
Speaker 1: to the Drive Time Podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's it
Speaker 1: going everybody? I am your host, Travis Winfield. And on
Speaker 1: today's show, we have a busy one, so we're not
Speaker 1: gonna take a whole lot of time getting into this
Speaker 1: aftermath tape stats will hear from head coach Mike McDaniel,
Speaker 1: all of that in a heck of a lot more
Speaker 1: from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1: This is the Drive Time Podcast. A lot of the
Speaker 1: breeze through that open because we have a lot of
Speaker 1: notes to get too. Because it was a fun tape
Speaker 1: to watch and we pick it up here with the
Speaker 1: offense and the Browns defense really played a lot of
Speaker 1: Cover six in this game, and that's where you get
Speaker 1: your two high safeties. You roll them to a third
Speaker 1: each and then a third player, a cornerback, will take
Speaker 1: the other third of your deep portion of the field.
Speaker 1: Then you have three players, typically two linebackers and a
Speaker 1: nickel defensive back in the hook zones the intermediate part
Speaker 1: of the field, with the other perimeter cornerback playing a
Speaker 1: curl flat responsibility. It's off coverage, it's designed to keep
Speaker 1: things in front. It's also a possibility to give you
Speaker 1: options to come down and buzz some of those middle
Speaker 1: of the field passes we've had all season long. And
Speaker 1: this is a big reason why the box score was
Speaker 1: the way it was and what I think should really
Speaker 1: terrify opposing defensive coordinator because the Browns essentially eliminated the
Speaker 1: opportunity for anything deep for the home run ball for sure.
Speaker 1: So to it just went to work on the vulnerabilities
Speaker 1: throwing behind those hook linebackers, finding the flat zones, getting
Speaker 1: into favorable run looks, and just spreading the football around
Speaker 1: to the favorable matchups. With that, let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: jump into this game from two because we're three weeks
Speaker 1: running now. Best tape I've ever seen him play three
Speaker 1: times in a row, which is awesome to say that.
Speaker 1: The first throw that pops is the Surefield grab on
Speaker 1: the first drive for eighteen yards. Really good rhythm relationship
Speaker 1: that with him and Surefield on this deep pivot route.
Speaker 1: It looks like an over route where're gonna cross the formation,
Speaker 1: but he sticks the foot in the ground and bends
Speaker 1: it back out the other direction away from that middle
Speaker 1: linebacker dropping into that hook zone, and to Us slides
Speaker 1: up into the pocket and fires it just as Surefield
Speaker 1: puts that foot in the ground, and of course the
Speaker 1: football with the ball placement is just out of reach
Speaker 1: of the underneath man and arrives in the tight window
Speaker 1: before the over the top linebacker can get their great timing,
Speaker 1: better location. Get used to hearing that on this podcast.
Speaker 1: On the touchdown to alec Engld, the best part about
Speaker 1: the pump fake is that there wasn't even an option
Speaker 1: on the pump to throw the football. He does that
Speaker 1: solely to remove the defender from the equation. Because you've
Speaker 1: got Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle are both blanketed on
Speaker 1: a wheel curl combination and both don't really expect a
Speaker 1: ball to come their way. And what a pump fake.
Speaker 1: It was. Like we talked about, like one of the
Speaker 1: things to talking about the quarterbacks all time is hand size.
Speaker 1: To had one of the bigger hand sizes at the
Speaker 1: Combine that year, and the ability to kind of do
Speaker 1: a full pump fake like that maintained possession of the football.
Speaker 1: That's where hand size comes into play for a quarterback.
Speaker 1: On a day full of terrific throws, I think his
Speaker 1: best one maybe possibly could have been an incompletion. It's
Speaker 1: the first throw of the second quarter. He's got Wattle
Speaker 1: working off the glance route off of RPO, which is
Speaker 1: a staple of r P. Oh It's it's basically a slant,
Speaker 1: but it's like, now, get it to him with a
Speaker 1: skinny little slant route. And the thing about Tyreek and
Speaker 1: Jalen is they can end those. They're like eight yard routes. Typically,
Speaker 1: this one went fifteen because of Jalen's speed and the
Speaker 1: Browns do get through on this play with a blitz
Speaker 1: and this is why I think it was such an
Speaker 1: impressive throw from t A. It's the fifth rusher. He
Speaker 1: gets in clean. You do get a great effort from
Speaker 1: raheem most to step over in front of to A
Speaker 1: and cut him off and buy two of the extra
Speaker 1: half second he needs. But to h with that pressure
Speaker 1: right in his face, just falls back a little bit,
Speaker 1: get some more death, give yourself a bigger window to
Speaker 1: get the football off in time to throw the football
Speaker 1: from the awkward platform. It's a fifteen yard glance route,
Speaker 1: an absolute dot without setting his feet right on the
Speaker 1: up upfield shoulder into very tight coverage and Waddle gets
Speaker 1: his hands on it. But the defender, if you look
Speaker 1: at it closely, he's got his hand on Jalen's right
Speaker 1: bicep and he's not tugging at it for a d P.
Speaker 1: I so I'm asking you for here. But he tugs
Speaker 1: at it right when the ball rise, and I think
Speaker 1: that separates Jalen's hands enough to force the incompletion. So
Speaker 1: great tight window, throw, good route, just a good play
Speaker 1: from the defensive back. Then we come back on the
Speaker 1: next play and it's probably even better. And this is
Speaker 1: a good example of to getting through his read so
Speaker 1: quickly that Mike McDaniel mentioned post game, He's got Tyreeke
Speaker 1: and Gisicky and a stack to the boundary. What does
Speaker 1: that mean? It means Gisicky to the point man Tyreek
Speaker 1: is behind him for a clean release into the short
Speaker 1: side of the field. Then you have Trent Sherfield and
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle to the wide side of the field, the
Speaker 1: field side of the formation, and they're in condensed splits.
Speaker 1: That means inside the numbers, so everything is packed in tight.
Speaker 1: It's that cover six look again, and they're pressing on
Speaker 1: Mike and Reek and you see two a work that side.
Speaker 1: That's where his head goes first. He keys the safety
Speaker 1: up over the top who's in that deep third right,
Speaker 1: But actually this time they rotate to too high. It's
Speaker 1: not a cover six look. It rotates back into a
Speaker 1: cover to look, and to h from that look can
Speaker 1: ascertain at the middle of the field was open, which
Speaker 1: creates what openings for skinnies and slants and things in
Speaker 1: the middle of the football field. He gets back to
Speaker 1: the field side of the formation immediately and the ball
Speaker 1: is out with Jalen Waddle at ten yards off the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. He's just gotten on top of the
Speaker 1: slot cornerback, but he has not yet crossed face so
Speaker 1: that the defender still has that inside position on Wattle,
Speaker 1: but to a is to his third read before the receiver,
Speaker 1: one of the fastest players in the NFL, has ten
Speaker 1: yards downfield. That is a an actual application of how
Speaker 1: quickly Too was reading the defense right now and the
Speaker 1: anticipation that he will and of course he does get
Speaker 1: on the inside part of that defensive back, and the
Speaker 1: ball settles Wattle right in before the safety who widened
Speaker 1: out because of two's initial look to that side of
Speaker 1: the formation before he can get back over the top
Speaker 1: and won't put Wattle in any risk of getting a
Speaker 1: big hit and a potential chance to catch it and run.
Speaker 1: And boy, he was a centimeter away from stepping out
Speaker 1: of that tackle and putting a sixty five yard touchdown
Speaker 1: up on the board. Thirty yard player will take it.
Speaker 1: I found a miss. I found one miss on this tape.
Speaker 1: We're at the point we're measuring one or two faults
Speaker 1: from two game now. It's he's playing that clean of
Speaker 1: football on the field. Gold drive, early second quarter, Tyreek
Speaker 1: comes open on a dig and two. I didn't see him.
Speaker 1: I just legit. Don't think that's happened this year just
Speaker 1: missed open Tyreek, didn't. He threw someone else got a completion,
Speaker 1: got positive yards, but Tyreek was opened for a bigger play.
Speaker 1: But that's absolutely nitpicking because this quarterback has been so sharp.
Speaker 1: We heard, you know, Mike McDaniel, we heard Frank Smith,
Speaker 1: Wes Welker, coach Darryl Bevil all talk about how well
Speaker 1: to is seeing the field. I think that deep comeback
Speaker 1: to Tyreek is a great example of that. The Browns,
Speaker 1: like we mentioned, playing a lot of that Cover six,
Speaker 1: which can easily convert into Cover three where you have
Speaker 1: you know, three deep coverage guys and then you have, uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's a two corners and the safety and you
Speaker 1: bring another safety down to buzz potential crossing routes to
Speaker 1: potentially play the hook zone. So it's it's kind of similar,
Speaker 1: but it changes based upon whose where, and you don't
Speaker 1: have that cornerback hanging out underneath. So in this cover
Speaker 1: three look, that means that Tyreek is now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden with a pressure look one on one with
Speaker 1: no safety help to his side of the formation, which
Speaker 1: of course means the cornerback better get into a full
Speaker 1: sprint towards the goal. Line because you have to. You
Speaker 1: have to with Tyreek hill speed to has the football
Speaker 1: out before Tyreek goes after the blind spot of the
Speaker 1: cornerback by slamming on the brakes and breaking the route outward.
Speaker 1: And the reason this is also effective is not just
Speaker 1: because the Tyreek speed big part of that, but because
Speaker 1: two has shown his application of understanding the leverage of
Speaker 1: that off corner. If he's gonna squat, Tool will just
Speaker 1: throw it deep and Tyrek will take off and he'll
Speaker 1: take the vertical shot. Or if he gets depth to
Speaker 1: a throws back underneath and Tyreek knows when to break
Speaker 1: that route off. The relationship and the chemistry and the
Speaker 1: synchronicity of those two guys is really the best in
Speaker 1: the league right now in my opinion. And with two
Speaker 1: brown jerseys into us face, not to mention to like
Speaker 1: unblocked guys right in his face, like there's no white
Speaker 1: jersey in front of two, it's brown jerseys, two of
Speaker 1: them right in front of him. The feet are not set,
Speaker 1: the ball is out before the break, and it's right
Speaker 1: where it needs to be, right when it needs to
Speaker 1: be there. That is such an elite throw. Have mercy
Speaker 1: the drive before the end of the half, he did
Speaker 1: that thing again where he pulls the cloud corn to
Speaker 1: the flat by looking that direction and then throws right
Speaker 1: behind him. You get tyreek on a square in at
Speaker 1: two yards to hitches up, kind of separates the hands quickly.
Speaker 1: That forces that cloud corner to bite immediately resets and
Speaker 1: pops the corner route over the top a dime to
Speaker 1: Mike Kasicki for fifteen yards. The location on the Wattle
Speaker 1: third down conversion on the out route and the touchdown
Speaker 1: pass to Trent Sureffill are just you can't place the
Speaker 1: football any better than those two throws. We broke it
Speaker 1: down on the Sunday Night Monday Victory edition of the
Speaker 1: Drivetime podcast, but just marvel at it on tape because
Speaker 1: those throws were absolutely perfect to Waddle putting it up high,
Speaker 1: because for a cornerback like there's a chance to undercut
Speaker 1: that and drive and take it back for six the
Speaker 1: other way, but to do that and elevate it's not
Speaker 1: really possible. And so the placement on a far hash
Speaker 1: out route is so good. To put that ball up
Speaker 1: high so Wattle can elevate and go get it. Then
Speaker 1: the surefield throw. Look, the ball was out when Trent
Speaker 1: was at the eight yard line and the cornerback is
Speaker 1: at the five, so three yards before he's even he's
Speaker 1: leaving and the ball probably would have scraped the top
Speaker 1: of the back part of the pylon if no one
Speaker 1: touched the football. It's insane keyhole accuracy from this quarterback.
Speaker 1: Maybe my favorite part of the game for two was
Speaker 1: how he adjusted coming out of the break because the
Speaker 1: first two throws he makes and the second half a
Speaker 1: little floater to Jeff Wilson for fourteen yards in a
Speaker 1: catch and run, and they checked down to alec Ingold
Speaker 1: where he spends out of a tackle for a first down.
Speaker 1: As well. What you'll see is the Browns are dropping
Speaker 1: into more of a quarters look, a four deep look,
Speaker 1: and with deeper hook coverage, those linebackers are pushing back
Speaker 1: because again that's where Miami has lived all year long.
Speaker 1: You get seven in coverage and then the four other
Speaker 1: four guys rush, and where does that leave you open
Speaker 1: in the flats? So to it just starts attacking the flats.
Speaker 1: He's got answers to the test right now to every question,
Speaker 1: and that's how you're getting what coach called it really
Speaker 1: high level quarterback play. They're gonna all right, we'll go
Speaker 1: after that vulnerability. You know. Mike mcdown talked about this
Speaker 1: last week after the UH Bears game about how his
Speaker 1: game planning starts with an abstract thought and then to
Speaker 1: go out and approach and attack defensive vulnerabilities a post
Speaker 1: and just you know, taking plays out of your own playbook.
Speaker 1: He wants to attack the particular vulnerabilities. Two was doing
Speaker 1: the same thing. Like, think about that for a second.
Speaker 1: It's a good place to be if you're a fan
Speaker 1: of the Miami Dolphins. Just a few plays later, you
Speaker 1: get another intangible trait to show up. He's got a
Speaker 1: clean pocket. He wants Mike Gasick on the crossing route,
Speaker 1: pumps the first window that allows Mike to then clear
Speaker 1: out of the second window and just drills that thing
Speaker 1: between the two eights on Mike Kasiki's jersey. Derham Smith
Speaker 1: had a great pick up on split flow action on
Speaker 1: that play too, By the way, I wanted to shout
Speaker 1: that out the third and tent on the next drive,
Speaker 1: the Browns get one of their pressures. There wasn't many
Speaker 1: with Miles Garrett getting up field, but to us steps
Speaker 1: around it and a great job by Tehran, who did
Speaker 1: give up this pressure on this play to ride that
Speaker 1: block all the way past the quarterback and stay engage
Speaker 1: because it helped to get that reset and shoulder roll
Speaker 1: right into perfect alignment and mechanics like to get off
Speaker 1: your spot, your mechanics get broken, you have to reset them.
Speaker 1: Did it perfectly, shoots it between four Browns defenders to
Speaker 1: an open Jalan waddle to convert on third and ten.
Speaker 1: Once again, move the chains, a little bit of everything
Speaker 1: on this tape. Man the touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: more exceptional work and just another thing he does. The
Speaker 1: Browns get a free runner in the B gap that
Speaker 1: usually spells disaster for most quarterbacks. Best case scenario. Most
Speaker 1: of the time, in that situation, just throw the football away.
Speaker 1: Watch other games around the league right now, and how
Speaker 1: many quarterbacks have to eat plays. Two is not eating
Speaker 1: plays almost every There's a couple here and there, but
Speaker 1: it's just not happening. He continues his drop back and
Speaker 1: throws from that shortstop reset arm angle with his feet
Speaker 1: not set at all and puts it right out in
Speaker 1: front of Tyreek, who helps make this play because he
Speaker 1: stacked his man. He puts the defensive back on his back,
Speaker 1: keeps him there and makes a tough catch. Have a
Speaker 1: day at one, have an absolute day. I keep thinking
Speaker 1: we're on the last play here, but then we get
Speaker 1: another great throw, the big play of Trench Rfield late
Speaker 1: that conflict hook defender we talked about every single week
Speaker 1: in the podcast, where he kind of has to keep
Speaker 1: is two are gonna throw the wheel? Is he gonna
Speaker 1: throw the flat? Is he gonna throw the glance to?
Speaker 1: On this play, strides to the flat, the linebacker flushes
Speaker 1: out and chases that, and then to it just pops
Speaker 1: it right over the middle for the big lane, big opener,
Speaker 1: big opening, I should say to Trent Surefield, who makes
Speaker 1: the catch, lowers his shoulder, stays on his feet, and
Speaker 1: turns a thirteen yard gain into like twenty eight yards.
Speaker 1: So just really high level stuff from all these guys.
Speaker 1: And then another one. The location on that third and
Speaker 1: one throw to Waddle to extend that late touchdown drive.
Speaker 1: The location was absolutely perfect. Jalen just basically puts his
Speaker 1: hands out and cradles it into his chest against that
Speaker 1: inside leverage of the cornerback. What a banner day for QB.
Speaker 1: One man. He is, he is so so exceptionally good.
Speaker 1: He's a phenomenal, phenomenal football player the running backs. Where
Speaker 1: he most her his second run was that toss against
Speaker 1: the motion, and man, he looked like he was in
Speaker 1: trouble behind the line, but he winds up gaining yards.
Speaker 1: His patient's vision and ability to create advantageous blocking angles
Speaker 1: would never go unnoticed. He helps get maximum yards on
Speaker 1: these runs. Such a smooth and natural runner, and his
Speaker 1: speed will obviously help take advantage when you have great blocking.
Speaker 1: They talked about it all last year, how there were
Speaker 1: some lanes we didn't take advantage of. And on this
Speaker 1: particular twenty four yard touchdown run, it's well blocked, and
Speaker 1: what a job by him to press blocks and really
Speaker 1: create these perfect angles for his his run blockers. But
Speaker 1: man on that plane, look at Connor Williams and Rob Hunt.
Speaker 1: If you go back and watch it, it's such an
Speaker 1: outstanding combo block, just walling off the entire backside of
Speaker 1: the play while Rob Jones and Tehron Arms had hit
Speaker 1: a play side seal and down block. And it's a finished,
Speaker 1: a terrific finish by Trent Sherfield with his block downfield,
Speaker 1: But most speeds sets it up Miami hat on a hat,
Speaker 1: and that was the case all day long. I marvel
Speaker 1: at Jeff Wilson's ability to drop his pads and make
Speaker 1: the decision to either run through the tackle or sidestep
Speaker 1: it because it all looks the same. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: make my Felix Hernandez fastball change up comparison again, but
Speaker 1: it reminds me of that it pairs so well with
Speaker 1: his offenses. False keys that create they create because you
Speaker 1: get this in decision from a processing standpoint at that
Speaker 1: second level, and if you hit your blocks in the
Speaker 1: first level, the scheme kind of takes care of that
Speaker 1: second level for you. And then on top of that,
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson's quickness and power combination allows him to either
Speaker 1: maximize that indecision by cutting wide or just run right
Speaker 1: through somebody who's on their heels because of the situation
Speaker 1: he's put them in. Watch how many of these gash
Speaker 1: runs in a game where Jeff Wilson gets to the
Speaker 1: whole in a one on one situation, linebacker kind of
Speaker 1: comes to balance, but he's not playing forward because he's processing.
Speaker 1: Was it a jet sweep? Was it a run following
Speaker 1: the fullback to to a pull and throw it behind
Speaker 1: my ear hole. He's trying to process these forty five
Speaker 1: thoud things, and then you get twenty three coming at
Speaker 1: your downhill and you're still processing. It's too late at
Speaker 1: that point. It's the same thing as if he's even
Speaker 1: he's leaving for a wide receiver, the exact same thing.
Speaker 1: Alec Ingold is a phenomenal football player. The athletic ability
Speaker 1: from a fullback is absurd. You'll hear him on the
Speaker 1: tank about, you know, moving from high school to college,
Speaker 1: from quarterback to running back to linebacker, back to fullback.
Speaker 1: So it makes sense. But man, that run after the
Speaker 1: catch looked like a running back to me, both on
Speaker 1: his touchdown catch but also the one later the game
Speaker 1: when to have found him to start the third quarter.
Speaker 1: I want to put the entire offensive line in one
Speaker 1: category this league. This week, and I started counting how
Speaker 1: many bodies were on the ground in terms of dolphins
Speaker 1: pancakes in the running game and then also just basically
Speaker 1: throwing dudes to the ground in the past Pro game.
Speaker 1: I stopped counting in double digits in the first half
Speaker 1: because it was I just could I couldn't keep up.
Speaker 1: There was too many go back and watch this tape.
Speaker 1: Rob Hunt throwing guys to the ground, brand Rob Jones
Speaker 1: steamrolling guys to the ground. To Ron Armstead doing the
Speaker 1: same thing, Brandon Shell, Connor Williams down blocking defensive backs
Speaker 1: and put them on their backside. And we'll talk to
Speaker 1: some individuals. But man, whether it was playing head up,
Speaker 1: gap scheme, zone pulling, ceiling catching, climb, chipping, just across
Speaker 1: the board, man, the work, the work of the two
Speaker 1: guards in this game was off the chart. Key block
Speaker 1: after key block. I'm writing these notes as we go.
Speaker 1: When I tell you that I could note almost every
Speaker 1: single play, I'm not gonna do it for time's sake.
Speaker 1: But rep by rep, you're getting the same things I
Speaker 1: mentioned from the same guys over and over again. Fire
Speaker 1: off the ball, win the low man battle, get your
Speaker 1: good hand placement, drive through your lower half to transfer
Speaker 1: that power from your base up to your upper half,
Speaker 1: and displaced guys climbed to the second level while those
Speaker 1: dudes off. Turned to the proper leverage and just stay
Speaker 1: glued to your block. I used to have so many
Speaker 1: issues with how often Dolphins lineman fell off blocks. It's
Speaker 1: not been the case this year. Man, It's It's a
Speaker 1: completely different ball game. This is a resume game for
Speaker 1: everybody on staff involved in the offensive line play and
Speaker 1: certainly for the players. It was positively superb. Been watching
Speaker 1: Dolphins tapes since I don't know if I would call
Speaker 1: a better game, like some of those j g I
Speaker 1: games and twenty six team are pretty good, but man,
Speaker 1: this across the board was so exceptional Toehron Armstead gets
Speaker 1: started early that first third down the Tyreek. It's one
Speaker 1: on one on an island against Myles Garrett and Tahron
Speaker 1: is the first guy off the ball and he just
Speaker 1: completely swallows up Garrett. Like Garrett rushed to the center
Speaker 1: chess play and he just like took him out of
Speaker 1: the play. His landmark is perfect, his punch, his lean,
Speaker 1: his weight transfer. Then the anchor drop its teach tape
Speaker 1: time and time again. Then you get a seventeen yard
Speaker 1: run from Jeff Wilson and Rob Jones gets great placement.
Speaker 1: But then Tahron adds this chip on his route up
Speaker 1: to the second level and it's just like it's like
Speaker 1: almost when you click a lego into place, like it
Speaker 1: locked into place. Rob got the hands and just kind
Speaker 1: of threw him to the side. I cannot speak enough
Speaker 1: about how much to Ron just helps everybody in terms
Speaker 1: of pass pro but also the run game. He's helping
Speaker 1: in the run in the past getting pancakes. This dude
Speaker 1: is as advertised. And one last bit of appreciation here
Speaker 1: that drive at the end of the first half. Garrett
Speaker 1: throws everything at Tahron on that drive in countless one
Speaker 1: on one situations. He goes speed, he goes speed to power,
Speaker 1: he spends back inside. Nothing worked, and they moved him
Speaker 1: to the other side of the formation. This guy's a
Speaker 1: percent player in terms of right side, ten percent left
Speaker 1: side of the defense. They moved him and he actually
Speaker 1: won on a pass where on the throw to Surefield
Speaker 1: I think it was but Rob Hunt put him on
Speaker 1: the ground because he spun inside him and beat Shell.
Speaker 1: But Hunt puts him on the ground. But they moved
Speaker 1: him because he was getting nothing going against Ron Armstead.
Speaker 1: I think this was the best game of Rob Hunt's career.
Speaker 1: My goodness, man, the push, the athletic ability he showcased.
Speaker 1: He moved guys multiple gaps in multiple ways. The fourth
Speaker 1: down conversion on the opening drive, he's outflanked by a
Speaker 1: one technique. He has to get across face and he
Speaker 1: tries to one gap up field and Rob beats him
Speaker 1: off the snap. He initiates the contact, washes him down
Speaker 1: and throws him to the ground violently on the other
Speaker 1: side of the formation. Just want to go ahead and
Speaker 1: add something here. Rob said this summer that he hopes
Speaker 1: he plays in this system the rest of his career,
Speaker 1: and you can see why. The way that they maximize
Speaker 1: his rare blend of power and athletic ability, it's something else.
Speaker 1: I was such a big fan of his Louisiana tape,
Speaker 1: Like his son belt tape was ridiculous, Like it looked
Speaker 1: like she wasn't even real. And you're seeing that transfer
Speaker 1: over here now, why he was one of the drafts
Speaker 1: darlings that year as far as the guy that could
Speaker 1: develop in something very special. You're seeing it before your
Speaker 1: eyes here. This dude is hitting down blocks on linebackers
Speaker 1: five yards downfield, two gaps over like you have no
Speaker 1: business making that play. That's not even supposed to happen
Speaker 1: with this type of regularity, and it does. And then
Speaker 1: finally the sherefield touchdown. You know, Myles Garrett finally scores
Speaker 1: that win with a nasty spin move inside but here
Speaker 1: comes Rob to come off of the man that he's
Speaker 1: doubled with Connor Williams and just throws Garrett to the ground.
Speaker 1: This is a teach tape that he will show his
Speaker 1: grandkids someday decades down the line. It was that good
Speaker 1: Rob Jones had a coming out party. Man. We've lauded
Speaker 1: his base and ability to straight up just absorbed guys
Speaker 1: here on this podcast, but his grip strength was something
Speaker 1: to note on this tape. On Wilson's seventeen yard gash,
Speaker 1: in the opening drive, you see the hands locked into
Speaker 1: great placement. Then he uses the torque of the lower
Speaker 1: body and just drives that power through the hands and
Speaker 1: it Legit looks like he picks up a man and
Speaker 1: just moves him like I'm gonna take you from here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put your here. We're gonna be good to go.
Speaker 1: The way he moves his feet and stays square from
Speaker 1: the time that he initiates contact to where the reps ends,
Speaker 1: it's all so smooth. He's rolling his hips through and
Speaker 1: keeping his feet under his shoulders. He might have something
Speaker 1: to say about the left card position. Man, He's playing
Speaker 1: pretty good football. Connor Williams copy and paste it man
Speaker 1: every week with this guy. There's a play on a
Speaker 1: long Wilson run where Connor gets tripped up and goes
Speaker 1: to the ground, but he still hits the lead block
Speaker 1: and buries the brown safety. He's literally going to the
Speaker 1: ground and secures the key block as Jeff Wilson blows
Speaker 1: by the defender. Just every week, Connor Williams checks in
Speaker 1: with a massive, massive game. The first play of the game,
Speaker 1: they get smythe and ingoled on a double team on
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett and slide protect right. It gives two of
Speaker 1: this massive law and I wanted to bring it up
Speaker 1: because there's just so many plays where yeah, we get
Speaker 1: the great execution, but there's also play schemed up where
Speaker 1: this offensive line just based upon the nature of this
Speaker 1: offense and what coach McDaniel and Frank Smith design takes
Speaker 1: care of a lot of that stuff for this offense.
Speaker 1: So it's been fun to watch. And the only real
Speaker 1: downside of this tape was the three straight run stuffs
Speaker 1: on second, third, and fourth and one. That was really
Speaker 1: the only stretch of game where they didn't get pretty
Speaker 1: solid execution on the play by played Bassis at the
Speaker 1: receiver spot. Trent Sutfield that fourth and one conversion on
Speaker 1: the opening drive, he gets a pancake inside like he
Speaker 1: comes down and beats him Er twenty two Grant Delpit
Speaker 1: to the point and then puts him on the ground
Speaker 1: right at the point of attack, the most critical area
Speaker 1: of that run for Jeff And here comes your wide
Speaker 1: receiver getting a pancake block. When he can do that
Speaker 1: and make the catch like the one he did in
Speaker 1: the touchdown reception, What a signing Trent Shuffield has been.
Speaker 1: How about Tyreek Hill blocking on the alec Ingle touchdown outstanding.
Speaker 1: That's one of those plays where we talk about how
Speaker 1: he sets a certain standard. The NFL's leading receiver coming
Speaker 1: into the game and he's hitting crucial blocks and then
Speaker 1: celebrates it like he just caught an eight yr touchdown pass.
Speaker 1: Did it again later on that last Wilson touchdown run.
Speaker 1: You know you mentioned his speed in the deep comeback
Speaker 1: route and the to a portion, the way he times
Speaker 1: his routes after pressing the issue with speed the moment
Speaker 1: he sees the corner, flip the hips and get on
Speaker 1: this horse. He's coming back to that blind spot. You
Speaker 1: give me a blind spot. I'm chasing it, so the
Speaker 1: best receivers do. I cannot imagine what level of football
Speaker 1: I Q that he has does for the trust of
Speaker 1: his quarterback. And then how about the speed on that
Speaker 1: little hook up catch and run where he just goes
Speaker 1: across the entire field and absolute angle eraser, and then
Speaker 1: the way he came back to the ball in the
Speaker 1: touchdown catch. Just more nuance from these receivers. Speaking of nuance,
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle. First, he had a shaff Key blocks down
Speaker 1: the field on the eagle touchdown. The Wilson run two
Speaker 1: plays later, man him and Tyreek's effort is just one
Speaker 1: of a million things that's so special about those guys.
Speaker 1: I mentioned the twenty nine yard throw from t of
Speaker 1: being beautiful the way Jalen creates separation by running at
Speaker 1: guys and pressing them and challenging them in the physical
Speaker 1: aspect of the game. What I mean by that is
Speaker 1: this slot cornerback on this play has inside leverage, so
Speaker 1: he's trying to wall off any in breaking routes from Waddle,
Speaker 1: but Jalen creates the opportunity to get inside of it
Speaker 1: by angling his route directly at the nickel come off,
Speaker 1: the ball fired downhill, right at him, press him, press
Speaker 1: the toes. Then the nickel tries to engage physically, not
Speaker 1: unlike Dennis Reynolds, and Jalen doesn't arm over. Move that
Speaker 1: allows him to accelerate through that contact. That's head back
Speaker 1: to the quarterback and square off that route in a
Speaker 1: way that increases the window for your quarterback. Balls right
Speaker 1: on time, right on target. Gorgeous football tape here, man,
Speaker 1: it's been fun to watch. We saw it again on
Speaker 1: the third and one conversion. On the penultimate drive, he
Speaker 1: releases inside, gets the dB TA, flips flip his hips,
Speaker 1: and the moment he does that, Jalen breaks back to
Speaker 1: the outside, stacks him. Great throw from two a first
Speaker 1: down move the chains. His catch on third and seven,
Speaker 1: the conversion in the first half was similar. He goes
Speaker 1: right at the man with outside leverage, sinks the hips
Speaker 1: late enough to show the defensive back that maybe I'm
Speaker 1: going vertical, but nope, sink the hips, drive to the outside,
Speaker 1: and then he angles once again back to the quarterback
Speaker 1: to maximize the window. It's high level nuance. My second
Speaker 1: year player and Jalen Waddle. Cedric Wilson's effort in the
Speaker 1: running game was fantastic where Heim got like thirteen yards
Speaker 1: and a wide run and Cedric Wilson slips like Connor
Speaker 1: Williams did earlier. But man, just to sustain the block
Speaker 1: long enough for Raheem to run right around it. Just
Speaker 1: just the will to compete for this guy. Man the
Speaker 1: wide receiver pass said, my man, Tyreeks all alone in
Speaker 1: the end zone and to a something but green grass
Speaker 1: in front of him. Oh man, you wanted to throw
Speaker 1: that ball. Let's get the touchdown, baby. Mike Gasicky great
Speaker 1: second level climb, turn and seal on the very first
Speaker 1: run of the game, had a good down block on
Speaker 1: the fourth and one conversion. He later had chip duty
Speaker 1: on fifty eight with Tehran waiting for help, but he
Speaker 1: never needed it because Mike handled it. Really really good
Speaker 1: game from Mike Kasik in the blocking department this week,
Speaker 1: and I thought Durham had some really good blocks on
Speaker 1: some of those second half runs and split flow action
Speaker 1: coming across the formation and making key blocks at the
Speaker 1: point of attack. Who wait, that was one take. How
Speaker 1: are we doing. Let's go ahead and take our first
Speaker 1: break and come back into the defense and the numbers
Speaker 1: on the other side. That's next draft time. Podcast, your
Speaker 1: host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. We're
Speaker 1: talking tape, we're talking football, we're talking all the all
Speaker 1: star moves here on the Drivetime podcast, and we're talking
Speaker 1: defense right now and structurally on this tape. The way
Speaker 1: this team sets such hard edges in the running game
Speaker 1: was why I was so bullish on the opportunity to
Speaker 1: take down one of the league's top running game games
Speaker 1: that doesn't have a quarterback like Lamar adjustin fields pairs
Speaker 1: so well in this game with the middle linebacker play
Speaker 1: that we got. E Landon Roberts played one of his
Speaker 1: best games as a Dolphin. He continuously scraped off stack
Speaker 1: after stack and just made big plays flowing downhill, stay
Speaker 1: tight to the block, explode through the gap, make your play.
Speaker 1: And then Jerome Baker just kept himself clean all day long,
Speaker 1: didn't let guys into his frame. That third and one
Speaker 1: pop on Kareem Hunt sure was something one of the
Speaker 1: best players in Jerome Baker's career. For my money, saying
Speaker 1: that a lot in this podcast. He stacked up behind
Speaker 1: John Jenkins Key's the pulling guard. That's the part that
Speaker 1: I love the most. As you see him follow the
Speaker 1: guard before the handoff even happens, and then he kind
Speaker 1: of works off of that and gets downhill and just
Speaker 1: drills the ball carrier pursuing downhill and puts that big
Speaker 1: lick on him. Exceptional play from Jerome Baker. We also
Speaker 1: saw some more press man and hybrid looks like Zo
Speaker 1: on one side man the other side of the field
Speaker 1: that held up long enough to allow the pass rush
Speaker 1: to get home. Jacoby Brissette held the ball two point
Speaker 1: eight eight seconds. That's a testament to the coverage and
Speaker 1: that's been the case that your quarterbacks to get it
Speaker 1: out hot hard to get him to the ground right.
Speaker 1: When they hold it longer, your pass rush can get home.
Speaker 1: In this offense, pass rush has been good all year.
Speaker 1: I don't care what what you think you see out there.
Speaker 1: The numbers tell you it's been good in terms of
Speaker 1: creating pressures when quarterbacks don't throw the ball and under
Speaker 1: two point three seconds, And that's a testament to the
Speaker 1: coverage for the ability to get those extra tents of
Speaker 1: a second. The difference between the past rush getting a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of pressures and then changing the game with
Speaker 1: sacks and splash plays. Also love the incorporation of different
Speaker 1: guys in different spots, like Elijah Campbell coming down and
Speaker 1: playing some some plays in the box and covering. There
Speaker 1: was a pick stunt by Veron McKinley where he had
Speaker 1: a lane to rush, but he goes and attacks the
Speaker 1: guard to free up Jalen Phillips to loop inside for
Speaker 1: a hit on the quarterback. Boyer cooked up some really
Speaker 1: good plans this year. This is another good one here
Speaker 1: for Josh Boyer. Christian Wilkins some kind of a game
Speaker 1: for him. He went up repeatedly against arguably the best
Speaker 1: right guard and football early on and just one play
Speaker 1: after play. Now, Teller did leave the game after Levin snaps,
Speaker 1: but he did get a half sack on him and
Speaker 1: dropping the bull rush. Then work in the second effort
Speaker 1: to wriggle free off the lock and route to the quarterback.
Speaker 1: On the very next drive, he gets around the outside
Speaker 1: shoulder of the right tackle. And this is what I
Speaker 1: love about Christians game, on top of the conditioning and
Speaker 1: everything else that he does, is he plays so smart
Speaker 1: man like he's looking at the guard tackle combination to
Speaker 1: see where they're gonna go off the ball, not even
Speaker 1: worried about the back of the quarterback, and he makes
Speaker 1: a decision on his rush plan to get upfield, reacts
Speaker 1: to the flow and then gets right in Jacoby Brissette's
Speaker 1: face to force an air and throw. He had a
Speaker 1: fantastic game, so did Zach s Heeler. Uh we broke
Speaker 1: down the force fumble just pure teach tape three technique.
Speaker 1: Opposite side of the field. Go get your man, Go
Speaker 1: attack the man and engage the contact. He does that, disengages,
Speaker 1: rides the wave, gets a big paw on the football.
Speaker 1: Great play, but his ability to factor into the pass
Speaker 1: rush after he's had to pick as awesome. He runs
Speaker 1: a stunt with Melvin Ingram where he sets the pick
Speaker 1: but then just stays on balance and fights through the
Speaker 1: double team, splits it and puts a hit on Jacoby Brissette.
Speaker 1: And then also his ability to set the edge on
Speaker 1: a big tackle and get the anchor dropped on outside float.
Speaker 1: There's a play where him and Van Ginkles at the
Speaker 1: edge really will but Ginkles off the ball and Seeler
Speaker 1: has to set the edge on outside zone flow where
Speaker 1: he engages the tackle with his inside arm but keeps
Speaker 1: the outside arm free and then you see him put
Speaker 1: his foot in the ground and it stops the tackles
Speaker 1: flow like any other human being, like myself. I'm getting
Speaker 1: buried six ft deep on the turf and I'm a
Speaker 1: bad comparison. But you know NFL players are gonna get
Speaker 1: washed out there, not him. It's he stopped like a
Speaker 1: sixty mile a moving car, like with his powers. It's
Speaker 1: what he did on that play. It's ridiculous. Keep the
Speaker 1: outside arm free, make the stop right there. He also
Speaker 1: had a run stop at the start of the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter where he works down the line then shoves the
Speaker 1: left tackle to the ground, like get out of here, sir,
Speaker 1: I'm making this play that he does. You know, Set
Speaker 1: from the Fish Tank loves to call him a grown
Speaker 1: ass man. Hard to argue with that characterization. Ray Kawon
Speaker 1: Davis is also a g a m. He does a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's recognized on this defense. He rarely
Speaker 1: gives ground the key nose tackle position and so many
Speaker 1: running plays. He's also providing more and more pass rush
Speaker 1: this year too. Bradley Chubb had a great game. His
Speaker 1: half sack comes and the play where they chip him
Speaker 1: and he has to run the long arc around and
Speaker 1: he gets there because Wilkins flushed Jacoby back, but a
Speaker 1: great effort to keep working, keep working, then explode around
Speaker 1: that edge when they give you the chance to do so.
Speaker 1: The way he works to keep his outside arm free,
Speaker 1: like we talked about Zack Seeler, hold on to his
Speaker 1: block without letting it climb to the second level, then
Speaker 1: disengage at the critical moment and make the play. This
Speaker 1: is a three down player who's a three down problem
Speaker 1: for opposing offenses. Also love the way he uses leverage
Speaker 1: to his and his size to his advantage. He had
Speaker 1: a pass rush where he dropped his inside shoulder into
Speaker 1: that left tackle, then just use his length to kind
Speaker 1: of get separation, but then kind of pull him back
Speaker 1: towards you and rip that outside arm through. He's got
Speaker 1: a plethora of pass rush moves, man. You see it
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the game. He sets guys up
Speaker 1: with moves early and exploits them late. He constantly one inside.
Speaker 1: As a result of that, tackles were getting privy to
Speaker 1: his speed off the edge, so he started rushing at
Speaker 1: the inside post more where he would step up field
Speaker 1: lateral step cross face and it forced Brissette to reset
Speaker 1: off of his You know the pocket, the area of
Speaker 1: the pocket he wants to be in because that inside
Speaker 1: when he has to him in reset, which we know
Speaker 1: increases time to throw. And you see the impact of
Speaker 1: getting Chubb on this tape. I think very very substantially,
Speaker 1: Jillen Phillips his pass rush continues to have an impact.
Speaker 1: He runs his man through the quarterback so frequently where
Speaker 1: he forces him off the spot by just bull rushing
Speaker 1: through him speed to power through him. And we saw
Speaker 1: how that, along with you know, one more pass rusher
Speaker 1: winning their rep can really effectively ruin a passing play.
Speaker 1: I loved seeing him get paid off on a half
Speaker 1: sack on that fourth down with Melvin Ingram where he
Speaker 1: was the pickman on a pick stunt and he played
Speaker 1: through the contact and redirects back to the quarterback to
Speaker 1: meet Ingram there, who also won with a great lateral
Speaker 1: step inside. Manuel Ogba man sucks so bad that he's out.
Speaker 1: You want meet a better guy than Emmanuel Ogba. He
Speaker 1: had a devastating pass rush on the Brown second drive,
Speaker 1: the one that Brossettes somehow snuck between two defenders right
Speaker 1: between kater Cohu and I think it was McKinley. He
Speaker 1: puts the guard on the ground, then gets a hit
Speaker 1: on Jacobe get Well. Soon a manual will be thinking
Speaker 1: about jaman A. Land and Roberts had a run stuff
Speaker 1: on their third drive where he plays full speed right
Speaker 1: into the block, knocks the dude into the back, and
Speaker 1: gets to stop by using someone else's body. He's playing
Speaker 1: so fast and violently lately, been fun to watch him play.
Speaker 1: Talked about Melvin Ingram his ability to transfer power from
Speaker 1: his get off to his upper body and displaced guys
Speaker 1: with heavy hands is great to watch. Had a textbook
Speaker 1: bull rush with great hands on his sack at end
Speaker 1: of the first half where he just got into the
Speaker 1: guy's chest plate and use his hands to basically throw
Speaker 1: him off of himself and then finished with the quarterback.
Speaker 1: Duke Riley made a great play on that Christian Wilkins
Speaker 1: tackle for loss in the second half where he goes
Speaker 1: and gets the pulling guard. Don't let him get into
Speaker 1: you go get him, which forced Nick Chubb to bend
Speaker 1: it back backside and that pays off the effort by
Speaker 1: Christians backside pursuit to make that tackle. I love the
Speaker 1: way kator Co who bounced back after they got him
Speaker 1: on the first play of the game, double move, he
Speaker 1: jumps it on the first move, Brissette throws a good
Speaker 1: ball to get on top of him, but that was
Speaker 1: pretty much it. He did lose track of his man
Speaker 1: and zone on that uh that can. That completion between
Speaker 1: the two defenders look like it's gonna be picked off,
Speaker 1: and it wind up getting completed for a first down.
Speaker 1: But other than that, he was phenomen his mere technique
Speaker 1: on that fourth and one pass breakup, stay square, open
Speaker 1: the hips the minute receiver tries to cross face, then
Speaker 1: reach around with that downfield arm without turning on that
Speaker 1: back hip. Great great cornerback play. This dude is covering
Speaker 1: over routes and man coverage frequently. It's one of the
Speaker 1: hardest things to doing football, and he closed a couple
Speaker 1: of those. Donal when people jones over routes, that's such
Speaker 1: a hard thing to defend with no safety help. He
Speaker 1: did it a few times in this game. X's coverage
Speaker 1: on that deep shot on the third and one from
Speaker 1: plus territory where he just runs the corner route for
Speaker 1: the wide receiver and was one step away from potential interception.
Speaker 1: Good play there from X and then also a great
Speaker 1: job falling on that fumble. It was him and a
Speaker 1: bunch of Brown's players around the football and he falls
Speaker 1: on it and does not give it back. Great play
Speaker 1: by x there. Justin Bethel's press coverage has been terrific
Speaker 1: all year. Textbook inside hand jam, ride the receiver in phase,
Speaker 1: and then locate the ball on that corner route in
Speaker 1: completion before the Browns kicked their loan field goal middle
Speaker 1: of the third quarter. Then he has that pass break
Speaker 1: up on the sideline where he gets in phase, locates
Speaker 1: the ball, puts his hand straight through the defense the
Speaker 1: receiver's two hands and separates them for a textbook p
Speaker 1: bu late in the fourth quarter. He's been awesome to
Speaker 1: watch man really really good open field tackle on a
Speaker 1: drag route on the very next snap as well. And
Speaker 1: then Javon Holland the way that he can defend multiple routes,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes opposite sides of the field, with his spacing,
Speaker 1: reading the quarterback and the inherent knowledge of his own range.
Speaker 1: It's something you're taking away entire sections of the possibility
Speaker 1: of deep passing. And with the attrition we've had a
Speaker 1: cornerback this year, it's been so crucial to the Dolphins
Speaker 1: that just don't allow downfield passes like it's happened a
Speaker 1: few times, but he's a massive part of why the
Speaker 1: defense just does not allow a lot of completions in
Speaker 1: the deep part of the field. Also cool to see
Speaker 1: him get some more snaps down closer to the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage by having McKinley played that post safety role.
Speaker 1: On the sack before the end of the half, he
Speaker 1: picks up a crossing route with great communication where X says, Hey,
Speaker 1: he's coming, he's coming. He's running a crossing route. Take
Speaker 1: him and Javon buzzes down and takes away the hot
Speaker 1: read for Jacoby and it leads to a sack. Finally,
Speaker 1: Eric Rowe, his run defense just gets better every single week. Man.
Speaker 1: They opened a huge hole on the second drive of
Speaker 1: the game and he comes from out wide to hit
Speaker 1: Chubb and taken right to the ground. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: how many defensive backs have one against Nick Chubb at
Speaker 1: the point of attack this year, but Eric Road did
Speaker 1: on that play. All rlet's go ahead and take our
Speaker 1: last break. We'll do all the stats and the snap
Speaker 1: counts and Mike McDaniels Monday press conference, that's next Draft
Speaker 1: Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by
Speaker 1: Auto Nation at the normal time where we cut the
Speaker 1: podcast for good, but we have one more full segment
Speaker 1: coming your way talking about the numbers from the game
Speaker 1: and the season. Let's go ahead and start with the
Speaker 1: quarterback and twa who was blitzed seven times, completed five
Speaker 1: of those passes for fifty nine yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: When he was not blitzed, he was twenty of twenty
Speaker 1: five for two twenty six and two scores under pressure
Speaker 1: four for seven fifty one yards, two touchdowns against pressure
Speaker 1: not pressure, thirty four in touchdown. How about the twenty
Speaker 1: plus are yard throws three for four sixty three yards
Speaker 1: and a touchdown the ten of nineteen yard range. The
Speaker 1: intermediate portion of the field continues to absolutely slay right there.
Speaker 1: Six o seven, one oh six. He was seven first
Speaker 1: seven with eighty yards and another touchdown on third down.
Speaker 1: He's now posted ratings on third down the last three
Speaker 1: weeks of one fifty eight point three, one fifty eight
Speaker 1: point three, and one fifty three point nine. It's crazy, man.
Speaker 1: The ball is out in an average of two point
Speaker 1: three five seconds on the year. Passer rating first third
Speaker 1: down passer rating first, fourth quarter passer rating first, red
Speaker 1: zone and yards per attempt. He's first in all those.
Speaker 1: It's a one eight teen point four total passer rating
Speaker 1: one forty nine point eight third down. That's seven points
Speaker 1: eight point shy of perfect on third town. His fourth
Speaker 1: quarter reads passer rating is one three point two one
Speaker 1: eight team point eight. In the red zone, he's averaging
Speaker 1: nine point one three yard kerk pass. How about the
Speaker 1: last decade his ranks and the passer rating total third,
Speaker 1: third down passer rating first, fourth quarter passer rating seventh,
Speaker 1: red zone passer rating seventh, yards per attempt fourth. How
Speaker 1: about his stats for this season in terms of his rankings.
Speaker 1: His q brs eighty two point six. That's number one
Speaker 1: only quarterback over eighty. His ep A per play is
Speaker 1: point one nine. These numbers are improving each week. It's
Speaker 1: crazy that he's taking elite numbers and improving upon them.
Speaker 1: He's first an e p A per play. His touchdown
Speaker 1: percentage seven point three percent of his throws are touchdowns,
Speaker 1: that's first. His interception rate one point two percent of
Speaker 1: his passes are picked off. That's the fourth lowest He
Speaker 1: ever just two eighty three yards per game. That's the
Speaker 1: third highest in the NFL. I mentioned the y p
Speaker 1: A is you know, first by more than a half yard.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, by more than a half yard of the
Speaker 1: next guy. His adjusted net yards per drop back his
Speaker 1: nine point four seven that's first. Second is seven point
Speaker 1: nine one. It's almost a yard and a half better
Speaker 1: than second place. His net yards per drop back eight
Speaker 1: point five nine, that's first. His sack rate is three
Speaker 1: point one percent, that's second. His completion percentage over expected
Speaker 1: three point five that's third. On passes twenty or more
Speaker 1: yards this year, he's twenty one for thirty two. That's
Speaker 1: sixty six percent completion, throwing the ball twenty yards down
Speaker 1: the field for six hundred thirty two total yards. That's
Speaker 1: twenty yards or pass attempt, six touchdowns, two picks, ten
Speaker 1: to nineteen yard range. He's fifty two for seventy two.
Speaker 1: That's seventy nine hundred and two yards. It's twelve and
Speaker 1: a half yards per past, five touchdowns and a pick.
Speaker 1: To take all of his throws ten or more yards
Speaker 1: down the field, you know the whole Oh, he throws
Speaker 1: the ball five yards and tyre beecon jayl and catch
Speaker 1: and run for touchdowns. Well, you know that's not true.
Speaker 1: Ten plus are yard throws this year seventy three one
Speaker 1: oh five. That's sixty nine point five percent. It's fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four yards. That's fourteen point six yards
Speaker 1: per pass, eleven touchdowns and three picks. He's the best
Speaker 1: quarterback and playing right now. That's it's not arguable past catchers.
Speaker 1: In this game, the team produced a hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: three yacht yards. Nobody had more than alec Ingolds forty one.
Speaker 1: He caught all four of his targets for forty five yards.
Speaker 1: Sherefield caught all four for sixty two, Waddle caught four
Speaker 1: of five for sixty six, most Are caught all four
Speaker 1: of his for twenty three, and Tyreek caught five of
Speaker 1: six for forty four. We had four players with better
Speaker 1: than two yards per route ran Ingold, Shurfield, Dtle, and
Speaker 1: Raheem Tyreek's first game under that stat this year. The
Speaker 1: run game this year sixty seven yards after initial contact.
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson had all five forced miss tackles among Dolphins
Speaker 1: backs on his seventeen rush attempts, averaging two point six
Speaker 1: five yards after initial contact. Miami hit three fifteen plus
Speaker 1: yard runs, seven ten plus yard runs three for Raheem,
Speaker 1: four for Jeff, and twelve of the twenty five carries
Speaker 1: between Most and Uh and Uh Wilson sorry produced first
Speaker 1: downs or touchdowns. PFF had the Dolphins with eleven point
Speaker 1: four yards per carry running to the a gap to
Speaker 1: the left between Connor and Rob Jones. In fact, Miami's
Speaker 1: rushing numbers to the left side of the field off
Speaker 1: left end eight yards per carry, off left tackle seven
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry, off left guard nine point
Speaker 1: eight yards per carry, and middle left That eleven point
Speaker 1: four figure QB pressure's five total on thirty six pass
Speaker 1: blocking snaps. That's just twenty one in the last four
Speaker 1: games and a hundred and fifty dropbacks. That's one pressure
Speaker 1: every seven point one four dropbacks, roughly four to five
Speaker 1: per game. In this game, Armstead had one, Robert Jones
Speaker 1: had zero, Arna Williams had zero, Robert Hunt had one,
Speaker 1: and Brandon Shell had to. Jeff Wilson had one to
Speaker 1: give you five total. Defensively, Melvin Ingram led the way
Speaker 1: with seven pressures, Christian Wilkins had five, Bradley Chubb had four,
Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips had three. Seiler, Ray Kwon and Gink had
Speaker 1: two apiece. Cohu e Robin Ogba had one apiece. Run stops,
Speaker 1: Christian Wilkins had five of those two Baker and e
Speaker 1: Rob had three each. Seiler and Melvin had two and
Speaker 1: four guys had one. Coverage snaps and yards allowed. Javon
Speaker 1: Holland forty six coverage snaps, no yards allowed. The Browns
Speaker 1: were four for ten throwing the ball ten plus air yards.
Speaker 1: Xaviing Howard had forty five coverage snaps, just twenty two
Speaker 1: yards allowed. Coho forty four snaps, sixty yards allowed. Half
Speaker 1: that on one play. Uh. They were two for six
Speaker 1: targeting kator co who he also had two pass breakups,
Speaker 1: So not a lot of efficiency there for the Browns
Speaker 1: offense going after kator Coho. Eric Rowe thirty four coverage snaps,
Speaker 1: no yards Justin Bethel nineteen coverage snaps, forty eight yards.
Speaker 1: Keion Crossing seven snaps, no yards allowed. Great day by
Speaker 1: the film, Great day by the numbers. Let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and get to the snap counts here before we hear
Speaker 1: from head coach Mike McDaniel, who spoke to the media
Speaker 1: on Monday and gave us more good nuggets as he
Speaker 1: always does. But first the snap counts. We did not
Speaker 1: get a five player wire to wire performance from the
Speaker 1: offensive line because to Ron Armstead got rest late in
Speaker 1: the game. We had the other four guys played all
Speaker 1: sixty nine snaps. Nice to Ron played sixty and Greg
Speaker 1: Little played nine to one didn't play the whole game
Speaker 1: because Scott Thompson got in the game for seven snaps
Speaker 1: to a place sixty two. At receiver, Waddle leads the
Speaker 1: way again fifty one snaps at Tyreek had forty nine
Speaker 1: and Surefield had forty five. So again those are your
Speaker 1: three top receivers weekend and week out. Wilson forty two snaps,
Speaker 1: Ingold forty two at the running back and fullback spot,
Speaker 1: and Raheem got nineteen. So a heavy workload here for
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson before the bye week at tight end, Durham
Speaker 1: thirty seven, Mike thirty two, and that was it for
Speaker 1: the tight end position. And then Cedric Wilson gave us
Speaker 1: twenty one at receiver and Savan akhmed of just seven
Speaker 1: at the running back position. On defense, you had only
Speaker 1: Javon Holland played the entire game, but Kator Cohu and
Speaker 1: Xavien Howard also both just missed one snap a piece.
Speaker 1: Christian Wilkins another fifty plus snap game eight two percent
Speaker 1: workload for him. Zack Heeler gives you fifty three snaps,
Speaker 1: Jerome Baker gives you fifty two, and how about Eric
Speaker 1: Row with a big bump up and playing time to
Speaker 1: fifty snaps in this game. Bradley Chubb played forty four,
Speaker 1: Phillips played forty two, and then Melvin Ingram thirty four.
Speaker 1: So we're seeing variety in those that front seven workload,
Speaker 1: the linebacker position, the edge rushers. When you need him,
Speaker 1: you pull the pull them up. When you don't, you
Speaker 1: rest him. It's kind of a great rotation to have.
Speaker 1: Duke Riley plays thirty two snaps at linebacker. Roon McKinley
Speaker 1: gives you thirty two snaps back to the front. Rae
Speaker 1: Kwon Davis gave you a thirty one. Roberts made the
Speaker 1: most of his twenty seven snaps by golly, Andrew Van
Speaker 1: Gigle plays twenty four. How about Justin Bethel twenty three
Speaker 1: more snaps at cornerback played a great game. John Jenkins
Speaker 1: and Keen Crossing both gave you eleven, AUGBA injured only
Speaker 1: gives you ten, and then obviously uh with the injury there,
Speaker 1: and then Elijah Campbell six and Sam Ega von one
Speaker 1: snap in the game. Three sound bites here from head
Speaker 1: coach Mike McDaniel. First, he's gonna tell you about the
Speaker 1: idea of the message of the team trying to make
Speaker 1: this a year to remember what that means, how you
Speaker 1: get it, and what his whole philosophy is behind that.
Speaker 1: Here's coach. When you go through things when you're fully
Speaker 1: invested UM, contrary to popular belief, you can't really control
Speaker 1: uh ultimate outcomes. You can't. And I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 1: It's I've learned a life lesson in my experience that
Speaker 1: the you get out exactly what you get in or
Speaker 1: you put put in your and UM, you'll make uh
Speaker 1: memorable if you and UM collection of other individuals decide
Speaker 1: to invest um as much as they've ever invested in
Speaker 1: in their craft. Because in that experience, Arians, there's highs, lows, UH,
Speaker 1: there's relationships, but ultimately I know this for a fact,
Speaker 1: you get the most out of whatever you got and
Speaker 1: you'll remember that. Uh. And and so I'd make it
Speaker 1: less tangible or like hey, UM, a proclamation about we
Speaker 1: will do X. If it's more about UM, you know,
Speaker 1: if you reflect on some of the things that you've done. Uh.
Speaker 1: In team sports, UM, some of the guys speak on
Speaker 1: it candidly. Guys that have won stuff you and guys
Speaker 1: that have gone along, have gone to the playoffs, gone
Speaker 1: and done stuff in the playoffs and etcetera, etcetera. The
Speaker 1: common denominator is that, uh, you know, players decided to
Speaker 1: put team first and individual stuffs set and and you invest,
Speaker 1: and you go through hardship, and you go through triumph
Speaker 1: and you become closer as a team, and it kind
Speaker 1: of defines you as as a human being as well.
Speaker 1: So that that's all that. It's the investment UM, which
Speaker 1: so far I've been very happy with. And but it's
Speaker 1: a it is a UM. It's a long it's long
Speaker 1: distance running. It's not sprint. So we still have a
Speaker 1: lot of the race to go next. Coach was asked
Speaker 1: about alec Ingold's usage and if his most snaps played
Speaker 1: in the game this year correlates with the fact that
Speaker 1: the Dolphins had their best rushing output. What do you think, coach,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a coincidence, UM, when you're going
Speaker 1: into the game that we were going to have him
Speaker 1: on the field a lot. He provides a very um
Speaker 1: physical presence. UM. It isn't just into playing you know,
Speaker 1: he's played fullback before, but that what that means and
Speaker 1: how are utilizing his skill set is a little different
Speaker 1: than he's been used before in his career, a little
Speaker 1: more VERSATIL. You're just he's got a lot more running
Speaker 1: he's UM, not as much close quarter stuff. Uh. And
Speaker 1: I thought he did a tremendous job and he's starting
Speaker 1: to come into his own in that regard. So he
Speaker 1: stepped up to the plate we needed him to UM,
Speaker 1: and he he's a tone center UM for our football
Speaker 1: team that we count on week and week out, UM
Speaker 1: to establish and help establish a physical style of play.
Speaker 1: So I was happy to see him be putting some
Speaker 1: um advantageous situations. And he took advantage of me yesterday
Speaker 1: finishing up here with the last question of the press
Speaker 1: conference from yours truly and coach choked me up a
Speaker 1: little bit because he talked about his relationship with his
Speaker 1: daughter and the shoes that he wore in the game
Speaker 1: and the painting of him and his daughter on his shoes.
Speaker 1: How to ask him about that? Here's coach about that
Speaker 1: and the slut disservice and what all that means to him?
Speaker 1: Great stuff here from she can't really talk, but she's
Speaker 1: a Savanta painting and she does not know. Um, that
Speaker 1: was gifted to me. Um, that was a surprise on
Speaker 1: on on on Saturday. But you know the I have
Speaker 1: people on top of people are yeah, surprise on Saturday.
Speaker 1: I'm getting um uh my haircut on Friday by Steve
Speaker 1: and you guys might know, but he's and then he's like,
Speaker 1: I got a present for you on Saturday, said cool,
Speaker 1: I didn't expect that. Slut disservice, which, um, you know
Speaker 1: it's is is very meaningful to me. I very much
Speaker 1: appreciate it. But then to have h a picture of
Speaker 1: myself and my daughter's like, what world am I own?
Speaker 1: This is unbelievable. So then I went down the hall
Speaker 1: and checked with my regulatory advisors to make sure that
Speaker 1: I would not be violating into NFL rules. UM to
Speaker 1: get the uh and and I think it passed all tests,
Speaker 1: and so then I put them on and it was
Speaker 1: a It was a really cool thing to be able
Speaker 1: to support um an unbelievable cause for you know, people
Speaker 1: that sacrifice, um, really everything they have for our our
Speaker 1: in a selfless manner, for our way of life. Um.
Speaker 1: And then they have that on top of a painted
Speaker 1: picture of of my daughter who when I saw her
Speaker 1: on the sidelines before the game, Um, they're talking about him,
Speaker 1: so I pointed, and she goes which was her name?
Speaker 1: She said? So she recognized herself on a shoe and
Speaker 1: I almost you know, I almost just broke down crying
Speaker 1: before the game. That was pretty cool, uh, and I
Speaker 1: felt very fortunate to be a part of it. Um.
Speaker 1: And those uh, those shoes are I I took them
Speaker 1: from the game him and I'll probably be wearing them
Speaker 1: doing dad duty. Oh week, well I'll take out the trash. Gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you like this, head coach. All right, that's
