WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Stumble at Seahawks 24-3 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:06.440 To remove Darlin Deep Speedways past Hell. From the Baptist 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:11.280 Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex, this is 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:19.360 Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's got my havings in the playoffs. 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.600 What is up, Dolph Fans? And welcome to the Draft 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.680 Time Podcast. I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.880 today's show you are going to get a different version 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.479 of the Draft Time Podcast, and I think you've probably 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.720 ever heard before. We're gonna get into where we are, 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.880 how we've gotten here. We'll talk about the game a 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.680 little bit. I suppose we'll do five takeaways, but get 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.120 ready strap in. It's gonna be an aggressive one. From 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.280 the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:58.840 This is the Draft Time Podcast. Maggie Daffi. Back in 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.280 two thousand and seven, I was in my third season 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.520 on a Dolphins message board. I was twenty two years old. 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.880 I was learning the game of football. I was in 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.880 love with a horrible team in the Miami Dolphins, and 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.280 I was trying to buy in on the concept of 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.760 Trent Green being the guy that got us over the hump, 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:24.959 and perhaps Cam Cameron could bring his Chargers offensive expertise 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.720 that was steeped in, you know, Drew Brees and Philip 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.360 Rivers and Ladanian, Tomlinson and all those guys, and Antonio 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.600 Gates to Miami and that didn't happen. And I remember 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.000 being on that message board and there was a thread 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.160 that became a weekly thread and it was titled simply, 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:47.200 we are in trouble. And as I watched this Dolphins 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.200 team in Week three at the Seahawks fall twenty four 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:54.720 to three and look lifeless and adaptiveless is that a word, 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.880 and lose effort towards the end of the game in 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.840 middle parts of the game as well. And compound that 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.920 with what I saw in the Jacksonville game and what 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:09.359 I saw in the Buffalo game. We are in trouble, 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.880 And those are concepts that I think are illustrated in 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:19.680 both operation and in execution by the players. First off, 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.720 to come into this game after having seen three years 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.000 of Skylar Thompson. You guys heard me the podcast, I 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.359 played a damn sound drop from I Think You Should Leave, 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.600 telling you how much I thought it was not gonna 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.680 happen for him back in training camp, and he won 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.119 the backup quarterback job, beat out Mike White. Mike White 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.840 goes in signs with the Buffalo Bills practice squad. My 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.239 biggest gripe I think at that spot is that the 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.280 quarterback that you saw in the game today cannot play 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.919 at this level. We've seen it demonstrated time and time 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.200 again when he's gotten chances, and the tape definitely demonstrates that. 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.200 And with seeing that for three years and still going 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.200 to the same concepts, which is a complex wordy Verbie 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:08.800 offense that requires a quarterback in complete command, in complete 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.680 confidence and control of things to be able to communicate 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.519 those words and play calls and execute those motions and 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.959 shifts and pre snap all the stuff that goes into that. 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.440 I think Kyle Krabs used the word hubris about this. 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.760 That's what it is to see all that and to 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.560 go into the game with that plan because you had 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.560 tenfold the exact same huddle operation issues we've seen for 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.760 three years now, right two plus years late. Breaking the huddle, 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.720 get into the nyscarmage and having two shifts an a 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.040 motion with seven seconds on the play clock, it's never 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.320 going to happen. I've never seen a head coach hang 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.120 out by the referee for the entire first quarter waiting 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.320 to make a timeout call that was super strange to me, 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.920 and a couple times he would be there for the 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.680 time out and not make it, and the play would 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.360 get so disjointed that you would have a full back 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.839 moving or slowing down his motion waiting for the rest 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.640 of the operation to catch up to his speed, or 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.760 a guard that came out of his stand before anybody 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.520 else because he was ready for play when nobody else was, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.320 or vice versa. And you get these illegal shifts that 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.320 drive after the cater cohu interception, and we'll go over 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.520 this game in general. He you had a play where 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.120 Ingold's coming off. You know you're shifting, so you move 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:17.880 him off the line of scrimmage to make that shift, 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.280 and they snap the ball on that count. The quarterback 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:21.920 doesn't know what he's doing in terms of who's going 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.760 where and how this operation has to run, and yet 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.920 you still go to it. And then you have the 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.039 concepts that we've seen percolate through two and a half years, 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.240 or well two years and three games, where you take 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.440 your first couple of drives and take them into plus 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.840 territory after some good early down designs and runs right 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.640 the running game was once again cranking, especially down the 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.240 middle against a banged up Seahawks front and a Dolphins 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.679 line that was moving the moving guys off the football. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.800 And we can get into the whole offensive line discourse 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.479 again if you want. I know, the confirmation bias is like, oh, 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.440 a career is less worried about the offensive line than 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.680 we are. The offensive line hasn't been the issue, guys. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.400 It's been horrible quarterback play, the same soft nature of 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.719 the offense that we were hoping that I was certainly 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.000 hoping and convincing you or trying to maybe convincing myself 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:12.360 that those things would improve, and rather than improve, they 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:17.360 have multiplied in the wrong direction. We're trying to stamp 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.040 out this virus, right and rather than a vaccine, we 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:25.600 gave it a multiplier. Had two possessions today with first 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.720 and goal inside the six yard line and got three 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.920 points out of that. How does that happen? How do 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.120 you go into the game with that same operation, knowing 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.120 what that quarterback was capable of and doing that. I 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:37.960 don't understand that. I'm not going to sit here and 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:42.760 call for jobs. I think that's that's first of all, 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.520 it's not my place. Second of all, I think that 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.159 you should believe in the ability to overcome and learn 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.839 and progress throughout a situation. But gosh, it's getting late early. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.320 And what you can argue about is twenty six penalties 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.480 in three games compared to thirty three points. So you 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.400 had all these issues that were there before. You just 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.240 had the top offense in the National Football League masking 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.120 it right, because the other coaches that came here and 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.840 had those same issues, they often had the twenty second 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.680 ranked offense and that was why the team stank. But 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.000 right now you're scoring eleven points per game and your 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.360 offense can't even you don't even feel confident they're going 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.000 to get off first down on a drive. I man, 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.040 you know that that negligence that game plan to come 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.000 in with that and just run the same old stuff 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.520 and have these same issues times ten. I think I 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.680 predicted twenty seven to thirteen in the podcast. I was 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.279 off by a few points there, but like, how could 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:42.520 you not have seen that coming. That's compounded by throwing 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.640 another fourth down pass to Braxenbergers, who, by the way, 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.120 has four targets this year and has less than one 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.600 yard of separation on all those. We were zero for 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.080 a billion on third down, right, And my biggest point 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.640 of contention to put a I guess almost to get 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.080 a bow. We're working on that here on this entire 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.160 opening segment of me so many things is we heard 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.760 Jordan Poyer before the season talk about how Dolphins teams 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.160 in the past, if you got them down, they would 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.440 bury themselves and you could run away from the game 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:14.920 on them. All those changes with Poyer, Campbell, John wu 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.200 Marcus made, Jordan Brooks, Anthony Walker, all these additions you 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.000 made with guys that have some of that you know 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.880 ish to them. Today was the worst example of that. 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.200 I saw Devon a Chan walking after his helmet that 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.360 got knocked off on a running clock in two minute 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:38.960 offense effort, body language, laughing on the sidelines. And every 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.000 time this team gets behind by a couple of scores, 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.400 Sands a Baltimore game which in hindsight there was blown 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:48.480 coverages all throughout that fourth quarter, Sands that game. When 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.600 the Dolphins get behind big, it becomes a bigger deficit. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.960 Usually teams kind of find their way to make those 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.520 close those scores a little more competitive. It goes the 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.880 other way on these Miami Dolphins. And I think that 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.000 is going to be the biggest test here. How can 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.400 you We're gonna find out how sustainable this culture is 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.280 when things aren't going away, because we haven't seen it 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.360 that way before, even last year's losing streak, even in 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.840 twenty twenty, to the losing streak behind the backup quarterback, 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.600 like you had reasons to believe those were one offs. 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.760 I think those reasons are gone now and they have 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.400 a chance to respond and change my mind again. But 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.920 I've changed my mind on that. And I will add 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.080 a maya kulpa here about the entire build of this thing, 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.200 which again we talked about all last week on the podcast. 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.640 It was almost Travis's a therapy session here at the microphone, 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.079 but a maya kulpa about I guess the way I 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:41.000 approached disagreements, and that probably comes from this idea of process, 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:42.439 and I put a lot of time into this, and 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.680 you know, I watch the tape and I break things 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.079 down and give you concepts that I think match what 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.640 the team identity and the belief and the build is. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:55.560 And I need to be more receptive to dissuading opinions 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.199 even if I don't think you've put in the same 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.679 process as I do, so I will own that, apologize 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.920 for that. I apologize if I filled you with false 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:08.800 hope in doing that. But I can now see myself 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.360 on the other side of that forest, seeing it for 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.839 the trees, and really feel like this thing is about 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.959 to get a lot worse because I don't think the 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:24.280 makeup of the team of how it's done. I don't 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.440 think it's one that thrives in these situations because they 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.000 haven't proven it right. They've proven the opposite to Jordan 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.319 Poyer's point and the way this has the potential to 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.160 ruin football for me, I think I talked about on 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:39.959 the podcast. If I didn't, I've talked about it in 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.520 text and with friends. Like As a thirty six year 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.320 old Dolphins fan who only really got into the game 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.280 in the very late nineties, one of my first experiences 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.719 with this team was the ninety four playoff field goal 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.120 miss from Stoyanovic. One of my earliest core memories. That 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.640 Kingdome game was great. That was awesome, and I'll always 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.640 remember that game. But the bigger core is the Jacksonville game. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:06.760 In Marino's last game or two thousand and four, Ricky 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.360 Williams retirement. That's the bulk of my fandom of this team. 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:11.800 And so going from a fan of a team that 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.679 was consistently, you know, sixteen points per game, try to 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.960 win the game late in the fourth quarter, even if 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.000 you have eight Pro Bowlers, but you refuse to sign 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.679 a quarterback besides Jay Feeler, and you make every game 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.400 close and stressful and doesn't have to be. After experience 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.319 on experiencing all that, and the years where you do 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.240 gets like seven to five and you think you've got 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.360 a quality win that puts you in this, you know, 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.480 in the playoff mix, and then you're not getting the 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.520 respect you think you deserved from the national pundits and 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.280 you're hanging out and that in the Hunt column. After 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.840 two years of being a one seed, you know, into 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.720 December into November and having this high flying offense, which 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.920 I still think is the best way to win football 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.319 games is to be the best offense on the field. 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.560 After that, and after talking to my friends about how 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.160 we finally have the franchise quarterback, a guy that led 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.360 the league in passing. It's I got Aligan passer rating. 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.640 We have this young head coach who's on the cutting 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.120 edge of innovation, and offense and he's brilliant. All these 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.840 articles get written about Mike McDaniel and how the Dolphins 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.280 offense is the most replicatable offense in the league because 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.959 it's so innovative, having all that, we're gonna have it 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.599 for fifteen years. Then in Week two you get the 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.120 rud pulled out on you in the quarterback and you 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.240 don't know what his future holds. And in Week three, 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:26.240 the same issues don't just percolate, they magnify and multiply 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.360 and become heavily more intense. Oh brother, I feel like 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.800 I'm laughing through the tears here because I can't fathom 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.640 going back to being excited about eight to nine football, 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.559 trying to get your way into the postseason. Maybe a 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.079 bottom out could be fun because there's some quarterbacks like 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.440 in this year's class. But the way this is going 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.520 to you know, if I have to watch a game 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.640 like today, I watch the Steelers and Chargers before the 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.600 Dolphins game, and it was two teams that the Chargers 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.079 don't trust, Justin Herbert that you don't trust a quarterback 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.679 if it's a ten to seven game and there's fifty 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.640 five seconds left in the first half and you have 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.000 a third and ten at the minus forty yard line, 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.400 and you opt with one time out to run the 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:11.160 football and call that drive a wash. That's not modern football. 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.760 That's not trusting your quarterback. And the Steelers on the 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.520 other side are just trying to get to that fourth 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.199 quarter and they pulled out. Both those teams are a 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.559 full facade. I see all the way through it. So 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.160 I can't get behind becoming Wanstead football again. I just 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.319 have no interest in that, and I know you all 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.800 feel the same. And as a Dolphins fan, it feels 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.880 like it's almost more cruel that you got that taste 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.480 of success for two years at least up until the 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.800 final few weeks of the season to revert back to 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.199 what you were before. I would kill to be ten 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.480 and three and to be let down again, wouldn't you, 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:50.319 because this feels like we're nowhere close to that. Got 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.080 sacked six times in this game because they were down 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.000 fourteen points seven minutes into the game and had a 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.760 three to one passing ratio at that point and held 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.079 the ball for two point nine se per attempt. You 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.440 knew this offense with that quarterback that averaged three point 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.920 zero four time to throw last year or two years ago, 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.439 I should say, compared to a quarterback, we average just 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.640 two point three seconds time to throw. How does that compute? 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:18.839 It does not at all. So, oh man, where do 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.080 we go from here? I think Monday night, your dogs 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.720 against the freaking Titans. Have you seen Will Lewis play 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:29.880 football lately? Your dogs to that at home? Because Tim 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:34.400 Boyle and Tyler Huntley, Tim Boyle moved the ball better 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.320 than Skylar Thompson did today. So that's where we are. 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.960 That's the opening segment. That's come back and rip through 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.000 the game. And segment two we will do five takeaways 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.360 and segment three and get the hell out of here. 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.240 That's all next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:54.719 brought to you by Auto Nation. Pick it up here 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.839 with the game script and stats. Will go ahead and 0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:59.880 start with the stats on this one again. Dolphins lose 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:04.160 twenty four to three. In the game, Scalar Thompson was 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.320 thirteen for nineteen for a bucko seven eighthn had eleven 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.880 carries for thirty yards. Tyreek Hill had three for forty. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.320 As far as the team stats go, twenty one first 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.240 downs for Seattle, thirteen for Miami. This game was a 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.560 display and how to not convert third downs on either 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.280 side of the football, three for eleven for Seattle, one 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.880 for twelve for Miami. The Dolphins were also zero for 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.720 three on fourth down, just two hundred and five yards. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.960 We got so used to four hundred yard games last 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.800 year that that seems like it was never even a possibility. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.680 Three hundred and seventy for Seattle, got outthrown two seventy 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.160 to one forty, It got out rushed one hundred to 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.360 sixty five, and the Seahawks only ran four more plays 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.440 than your Miami Dolphins. The Seahawks also had two giveaways, 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.200 Dolphins didn't have any. Dolphins did get sacked six times 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.320 compared to Seattle's three, but again I thought that was 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.720 more indicative of the game script and the the drop 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.080 back passing nature that took on this game. As a 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.960 result of the score early on, and the Dolphins had 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.840 eleven penalties for eighty five yards, Seattle was no eleven 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.080 for ninety two, and this time possession was about thirty 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.360 one to twenty nine, so pretty even across the board there. 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.120 Let's go up and down the script here and tell 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:08.360 you how this game got to where it was. It 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.560 started with the Seahawks field goal, a fifty seven yard 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.000 field goal no. Less on a seven play twenty eight 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:18.600 yard drive where again I thought we saw Jalen Phillips 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.560 was a guy that was consistently making plays in this 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.080 one where he had a first down run stuff and 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.640 then had a hard a pressure on the quarterback I 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.680 should say, where he forced Geno Smith up into the 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.480 pocket off that right tackle. That was a big key 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.320 for me heading into this game. Phillips against stone forsythe 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.120 their third string right tackle, and he did not disappoint 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.920 forced him right into that DeShawn hansack and it resulted 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.680 in a quick in a field goal attempt there for them. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.920 And I made a note of this that the Dolphins 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.200 lost contain on the well placed kickoff by Jason Sanders 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.560 that got the ball on the thirty five yard line. 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.400 And if you make that tackle back in the twenty 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.160 where the contact occurred, I mean, if the drive played 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.000 out the same way as it did with the fifteen 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.600 xtra yards, that's not a field goal, so you And 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.640 it was that kind of day for special teams all day. 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.680 Four special teams penalties in this one accepted. I think 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.760 there was at least one more that was not as well. 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.680 The Seahawks take that three to nothing lead. The Dolphins 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:11.680 get right back down the field and they missed their 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.520 own fifty seven yard field goal, and they threw a 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.320 twenty three yard glance spro out to open the game 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.720 to de von Hien, who aligned as the number one 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.040 receiver to the boundary, which to me, I wanted to 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:22.640 put that note in there because it was just so 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.040 impressive that he was able to He can do that 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.200 from that position. That's pretty rare for running back to 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.600 lineup out there. And then Jalen Wright won the corner 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.080 on a toss play where I saw him just burst 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.680 out of the gate there and look so fast. And 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.360 that no call on the horse caller slash late hit 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.760 out of bounds was very strange because it looked like 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.200 to me the letter of the law, the ref right 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.520 there didn't make the call, and you get a long 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.920 missed field goal where otherwise your first and goal in 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.920 the first and ten in the red zone. So they 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.320 don't get that call, they get stuffed on second down, 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.760 they go third and one, they get stuffed again, and 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.400 then they missed the field goal. Just everything about that 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.080 sequence from the call, the decision to you know, go 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.000 trick play second down like a play action boot where 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.000 he got pressure in his face and a full back 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.000 dive that hasn't worked a couple times in a row now, 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.240 and then the fourth down called to take the long 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.240 field goal. Just a weird sequence of events. The execution 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.760 no better, not how you want to start when you 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.720 are on you know, a lot of backups across the 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.679 entire roster. The Seahawks paying it off with the easy touchdown, 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.360 going five plays fifty three yards, just chunk, chunk, chunk 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.080 down the field. DK Metcalf had that great catch over 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.120 Fuller who was in great shape and played a good 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.119 game until he left the game in concussion protocol. And 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:34.919 then they'd run out down our throats for a touchdown 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.520 to make it ten to nothing, and you're immediately behind 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.720 the eight ball, and that's where operational issues began to 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.920 take over. It's a five play punt drive for the Dolphins. 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.480 Skylar Thompson dropped the football on a snap that looked 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.520 way too familiar to John Beck back in that Buffalo 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.360 game in two thousand and seven. That's why I kept 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.240 thinking watching Skyler throughout the course of this game, John 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.920 beck Man, this looks like John beck overwhelmed overmatch. Can't 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:05.159 see it, can't rip it, just really really bad. So 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.199 they punt that one away. Then they get a major 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.160 major play from cater Coho. They get just outright wins. 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.359 Across the board. There was a OPI on Jalen Ramsey 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.520 with or dk metcalf pushing off on Jalen Ramsey where 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.960 he took him back negative yards because Ramsey kind of 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:22.880 had him strapped, and I thought Ramsey played a really 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.040 good game, by the way. Then Kendall Fuller Damn Near 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:26.840 squatted and drove on a pick six, but he gets 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:28.920 a pass break up instead, and then the pass rush 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.440 gets in where Seeler bowls over the left guard. He's 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.920 the pick stunt man bowls him over. And then you 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.680 get a loop inside from Emmanuel Ogbah who puts a 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:38.760 hit on Gino And that happened a few times in 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:40.560 this game. They would hit him the cause Aaron throws, 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:42.480 they gets tipped way up into the air and here 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.520 comes cater Cohu for the pick. He gets tackled with 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.720 a six yard line and the Dolphins paid off with 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.040 just a field goal. They got a legal motion where 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.400 the ball gets snapped too quickly. Then a third down 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.760 where I thought Skyler had waddle in the corner of 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.840 the end zone but didn't let the play develop and 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.080 tried to scramble to his right, And that's you know 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.160 that could happen without you know, your elite quarterback play 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:03.760 as you bail on clean our pockets. I thought that's 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.159 what happened there, and it cost us a touchdown in 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.199 that moment. Yeah, you just held the ball for too 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.239 long in that situation, you get a field goal out 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:12.800 of it. But then we get a one play touchdown 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.560 drive where the Dolphins they showed the All twenty two 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.840 clip on the on the broadcast where Javon and Poe 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.680 were in half field deep safety looks and Ramsey's in 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.080 that kind of cloud area the you know, the curl 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.840 flat of Cover two or a variation of what looks 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.280 like Cover two to me, I can't know the call 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:32.359 for sure, and Metcalf runs a double move. Javon jumps 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.200 inside the route and it's an easy walk in touchdown 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.399 from there because he got about fifteen yards behind the 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.160 defense and quickly it's seventeen to three before you've even 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.760 found your seat, yet really, Dolphins get the ball back 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.280 and punt it right away. The Seahawks go nine plays 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.760 forty five yards, but they get a missed field goal 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.760 after some really good plays by Zach Sealer once again 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.960 who just continued to beat guys in the run game, 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.440 get good pass rushing in forcing Gino Smith off the spot. 0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:59.800 David Long makes a big tackle on third and seventeen. 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.840 Is that field goal try that goes wide. Dolphins get 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.840 it back and they again open the drive with positive plays. 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:07.720
