Speaker 1: To on remove Darlin Deep Speedways Past Hell. From the
Speaker 1: Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This
Speaker 1: is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's got my hands in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. What is up Dolphins? And welcome to the
Speaker 1: Draft Time Podcast. I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And
Speaker 1: on today's show, we're back in the film room. Just
Speaker 1: to be my favorite show of the week. Now it's
Speaker 1: not so much. Let's go ahead and dive in on
Speaker 1: what went wrong for the Dolphins and Titans. From the
Speaker 1: Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This
Speaker 1: is the Draft Time Podcast. May gaffs a couple of
Speaker 1: injury updates. It sounds like Odell Beckham and camp Smith
Speaker 1: could be back here very soon. Jalen Phillips will not
Speaker 1: play in the game on Sunday, and they'll have further
Speaker 1: testing to determine the severity of his knee injury as
Speaker 1: he works to get back after leaving the game on
Speaker 1: Monday night. Football. Beckham and Campsmith, by the way, had
Speaker 1: their practice window opened on Wednesday or they will, I
Speaker 1: should say have it open tomorrow and we should get
Speaker 1: Armstead and Fuller back for the game. On Sunday as well.
Speaker 1: Per McDaniel, let's go ahead and crack into this tape
Speaker 1: here off the top here and quite frankly, the opening
Speaker 1: script couldn't have started any better. Like you got lateral
Speaker 1: displacement from your play action game on the first snap
Speaker 1: a walk in the park, drive, starter, throw, Waddle all
Speaker 1: alone beyond the sticks. That's how I always want to
Speaker 1: start every drive first and ten play action dig route
Speaker 1: in behind linebackers because their forward flow tends to be
Speaker 1: their modus operandi. How do you say that on first down?
Speaker 1: And it creates those windows in behind the linebackers like
Speaker 1: we saw Fits hit those routes to Devonte freaking Parker
Speaker 1: and Preston Williams on the rig. Keep throwing to these guys.
Speaker 1: It was there. Then Tyreek gets out on the edge
Speaker 1: of the defense on a jet sweep and gets great
Speaker 1: blocks from Johnny and Waddle to spring him off the edge.
Speaker 1: Two plays in a row, you have the ball at
Speaker 1: the plus thirty three. But the fourth play is where
Speaker 1: you go, huh, you know? The first what so to speak,
Speaker 1: comes in. Tyreek is behind Tyler Huntley in the pistol
Speaker 1: and runs the swing route, working backwards, not down the line.
Speaker 1: He's running away from the goal line, which has kind
Speaker 1: of become his go to a move, And that's what
Speaker 1: makes this whole play a head scratcher to me on
Speaker 1: that particular rep because did they run it that way
Speaker 1: in practice? And if it was, the emphasis has to
Speaker 1: be it must be if you drop this, which is
Speaker 1: what happened, we have to cover it up because it's
Speaker 1: a fumble. It's a live football. But the minute the
Speaker 1: ball hits the ground, he pulls up and stops playing.
Speaker 1: And thankfully there's an inadvertent whistle because that's a touchdown
Speaker 1: for the Titans if they don't blow it dead. I
Speaker 1: can understand not being on the right track with a
Speaker 1: new quarterback, or knowing where he's going to throw the football,
Speaker 1: or him not knowing how Tyreek angles his routes, but
Speaker 1: all of that aside, I feel like it's inexcusable to
Speaker 1: not have the urgency to fall on the football there.
Speaker 1: But that's what this team has lacked all year, even
Speaker 1: in Game one. Urgency. I mentioned the different run schemes
Speaker 1: out on that fourth down failure drive in the second
Speaker 1: quarter on the podcast and on Twitter yesterday where they
Speaker 1: went inside zone counter man scheme and then quarterback power.
Speaker 1: I like the thinking there, and just a general thought
Speaker 1: to kind of add more variety all these edge carries,
Speaker 1: particularly the ones where the receivers get the ball on
Speaker 1: jet sweeps and whatnot. They're consistently having to bubble, which
Speaker 1: is where you take that snap down the line. You
Speaker 1: want your first step to be upfield, like we saw
Speaker 1: with Xavier Worthy in his opening day touchdown for the
Speaker 1: Chiefs where he takes that jet sweep and just goes
Speaker 1: upfield for a touchdown. If you have to go backwards,
Speaker 1: the amount of pursuit that you get from that from
Speaker 1: over the top of the defense, it shuts those plays
Speaker 1: down instantly. And I think that the reason you're getting
Speaker 1: those bubbles is because you're getting overplayed from the cornerbacks
Speaker 1: in the run game. They keep recognizing it and shooting
Speaker 1: across the face of our receivers who cannot hit those
Speaker 1: crack blocks, and it forces us to bubble back behind
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, which allows the pursuit to get
Speaker 1: over the top. Like if Waddle can crack snead on
Speaker 1: that Tyreek jet sweep, it's a foot race to the sideline.
Speaker 1: With Kenneth Murray and Tyreek wins that race one hundred
Speaker 1: and one times out of one hundred. Those are some
Speaker 1: general thoughts. Let's go ahead and talk about the quarterback play,
Speaker 1: and this is going to be a rough review, but
Speaker 1: I want to drop the disclaimer off the top here
Speaker 1: that you know, what can you really expect? Right, It's
Speaker 1: a complex offense. He's been here for two weeks. What
Speaker 1: I was excited to see from hunting and why I
Speaker 1: tweeted about it, you know, over the course of the
Speaker 1: weekend was the creativity and some design runs, and we
Speaker 1: got a flash of that. But from an execution standpoint,
Speaker 1: it's kind of what you'd expect. That third down sack
Speaker 1: on the second drive, that's a well schemed up pressure
Speaker 1: where we just flat out got the protection wrong and
Speaker 1: Tyler didn't have his hot ready to break it down.
Speaker 1: On the front side where the rush came from. There
Speaker 1: was a one tech, a four tech, and a nine technique.
Speaker 1: What that means is a player off the right side
Speaker 1: of the center's body, off his right shoulder. The four
Speaker 1: technique is head up over the right tackle, and the
Speaker 1: nine technique is the camwake position. Right, you were way
Speaker 1: out beyond the entire formation and to the Titans backside
Speaker 1: was a bugged up linebacker in the B gap and
Speaker 1: a five technique, So their goal was to leave both
Speaker 1: the left tackle and left guard without guys to block,
Speaker 1: and that is precisely what happened. Well, actually, they did
Speaker 1: get one rush out of that side because that front
Speaker 1: side one technique did twist across Aaron Brewer's face and
Speaker 1: it got him to over extend and pulled him to
Speaker 1: the left side of the formation, which created a three
Speaker 1: on two situation for the Titans pass rush. Then the
Speaker 1: stack linebacker that was behind the four technique, he blitzes
Speaker 1: the B gap. So a stack linebacker means you lamb
Speaker 1: directly behind a defensive player or an offense It could
Speaker 1: be offense as well. Stacks is when you have two
Speaker 1: guys on top of each other and that creates blocking
Speaker 1: in decision sometimes and in pass protection. One oh one
Speaker 1: louder for those in the back. Pass protection one oh
Speaker 1: one says to eliminate the most imminent threat and that
Speaker 1: comes from the inside, which in this case is that
Speaker 1: stackbacker who is screaming unblocked into the B gap. So
Speaker 1: Austin squeezes the B gap and gets it blocked. That's him.
Speaker 1: It's what he's supposed to do. The only answer in
Speaker 1: that play because everything's covered up otherwise, which has been
Speaker 1: an issue in his own self, is Jalen Wright in
Speaker 1: the flat, who's in the pattern the entire time. He
Speaker 1: never once showed signs of picking it up in pass pro.
Speaker 1: So I know someone keeps saying that's not what they
Speaker 1: would do with Jalen Wright, like he ran the route
Speaker 1: that he was not in pass protection, that is, scan
Speaker 1: and squeeze and have the most imminent pressure be the
Speaker 1: one you pick up most and leave the edge vacant.
Speaker 1: And what do we always say in the podcast when
Speaker 1: there's a blitz, throw the football with that blitz came from.
Speaker 1: But again, that's a lot to process for a quarterback
Speaker 1: brand new in the offense. He doesn't do it. We
Speaker 1: eat the sack and look, it's been bad. But I
Speaker 1: want you guys to hear the why behind this rather
Speaker 1: than just dealing with droves of angry tweets about that's
Speaker 1: my goal to provide the why not just say shambalack
Speaker 1: from the right tackle right, you know, I think he
Speaker 1: started seeing ghosts from there though, because the next play
Speaker 1: is a design swing where you pull the offensive line
Speaker 1: into the flat and which hey, that again means you're hot, right,
Speaker 1: But he double clutches, gets hit as he throws and
Speaker 1: misses the easy throw, but he did draw a fifteen
Speaker 1: yard flag. Just a few series later, you can see
Speaker 1: where you can get some plays off on this stuff.
Speaker 1: The Titans brought a fifth rusher and he recognized where
Speaker 1: that linebacker came from on a slight delayed blitz and
Speaker 1: he vacates that spot. And this opens this massive gap
Speaker 1: in the b gap between the tackle and the guard
Speaker 1: where Rob Jones squeezes down inside and Patrick Paul fans
Speaker 1: out for a wide nine technique rush and Huntley sees
Speaker 1: it immediately and they convert with a twelve yard scramble
Speaker 1: on third and eleven. So I do think the more
Speaker 1: reps he gets, the more you could see some of that.
Speaker 1: You can see his lack of experience and knowledge in
Speaker 1: an offense though, on the next play when he tries
Speaker 1: to throw a corner route to Tyreek in double coverage.
Speaker 1: But the reason he's in double coverage is that deep
Speaker 1: curl to e Chan that he runs is completely vacated
Speaker 1: as they both run the middle of the field. Third
Speaker 1: and the other deep third corner off on the Tyreek route,
Speaker 1: so they get two guys that run with Tyreek and
Speaker 1: it leaves a chan all alone. In fact, they hit
Speaker 1: Tyreek on this play. In the Jacksonville game two was
Speaker 1: I think to his best throw of the entire year
Speaker 1: so far, for a gain of like twenty one yards
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. That made a huge difference in
Speaker 1: that game. And this one was way more open. His
Speaker 1: feet get wonky at times, and it's not all tied
Speaker 1: to rhythm of the play. Like I said this back
Speaker 1: in camp and have probably said it twenty times now,
Speaker 1: but I just really appreciate too, and thought we could
Speaker 1: all stand to appreciate him more. This offense works because
Speaker 1: of his skills and the footwork and the timing and
Speaker 1: the repetition of all that. That's really it. Because some
Speaker 1: of these max protections two man deep route combos, he
Speaker 1: looks for it if it's not there, but he's already
Speaker 1: strided to one of those routes, doesn't get his feet reset,
Speaker 1: the base widens, the ball goes stram up in the air.
Speaker 1: It's like a golfer who has like yippie hands on
Speaker 1: chipping or putting, like the backstroke is so broken and
Speaker 1: sudden that you jerk forward and there's no speed control
Speaker 1: on the downswing and it results in off target balls
Speaker 1: or you know, Shank Hauzle rocket shots on these simple
Speaker 1: swing routes. The ball placement was an issue. The out
Speaker 1: to Waddle before the first field goal he's on, which
Speaker 1: I love, but the ball brings Waddle reaching back inside
Speaker 1: to the defender to make the catch. You throw it
Speaker 1: on the outside shoulder. It leads him right into a
Speaker 1: first down run. And I don't know Snoop, but if
Speaker 1: I had to guess, he's still thinking about that deep
Speaker 1: shot to Reek. At the end of the first half,
Speaker 1: we get run action to the boundary that develops into
Speaker 1: a swing screen and something that kept the half field
Speaker 1: safety to that side's attention. I'm not sure what it
Speaker 1: was because he doesn't move. He's doing a poyer and
Speaker 1: stand there just watching the action. And Reek takes this
Speaker 1: outside release on Lugerious Sneed and makes him whiff on
Speaker 1: the jam. He stacks him and has two yards of separation,
Speaker 1: and Snoop throws the ball flat like Tyreek has to
Speaker 1: come back to that ball, and when Cheetah's behind, someone
Speaker 1: make him run further because the further he runs, the
Speaker 1: more distance he'll create because he's the fastest player in
Speaker 1: the league, right and if he catches that like that
Speaker 1: could change the entire complexion of the game, because it's
Speaker 1: two eight to play in the half, it's six to three,
Speaker 1: and not only do you take a ten to six lead,
Speaker 1: not only do you open up oh damn, we have
Speaker 1: to cover that route now because like they hit it
Speaker 1: on us, you change, You can run the ball more yourself,
Speaker 1: You can cause the Titans to run the ball less.
Speaker 1: It changes the entire complexion of the game. Pair of
Speaker 1: that with the fumble on the first drive, that's two
Speaker 1: plays that you know, probably could have changed this entire game,
Speaker 1: and I think change maybe the perception of how this
Speaker 1: team looks right now. But you are what you are
Speaker 1: because you continue to fail to execute in those critical spots.
Speaker 1: And honestly, for the second straight week, I come away
Speaker 1: from the tape less down on the structure and scheme
Speaker 1: and more just like, look, look we were down quarterback one.
Speaker 1: Our quarterback two can't play at this level. That seems
Speaker 1: pretty abundantly clear to me. And now we're working in
Speaker 1: this third quarterback who's been here for two weeks. So
Speaker 1: when you missed the first down deep shot, then you
Speaker 1: go quarterback power and creates this third long situation at
Speaker 1: the end of the half, and you call this screen pass.
Speaker 1: I can't sit here in act like you should have
Speaker 1: been more aggressive, because even when you call it right
Speaker 1: and there's openings, our odds of hitting those plays have
Speaker 1: been like less than half. So why even create the
Speaker 1: opportunity for a negative when you aren't hitting the opportunities
Speaker 1: that you do have. That's kind of how I feel
Speaker 1: that at the end of the game. I'm okay with
Speaker 1: a game manager role when you can't get execution from
Speaker 1: your players really across the board. The coaching thing that
Speaker 1: does get me, though, is the personnel decisions with certain
Speaker 1: roles like Braxon burials blocking the linebacker at the point
Speaker 1: of attack on a slip screen, or throwing the screen
Speaker 1: to Eskridge's side rather than John Hu's side later in
Speaker 1: the game, like let John new block because he had
Speaker 1: some good ones in this game, and I saw them
Speaker 1: do this right away in camp, So I don't know
Speaker 1: why it's going away from it here, but I digress.
Speaker 1: And of course, our best pass play of the entire
Speaker 1: night was negated by an illegal shift call, and I'm
Speaker 1: not sure what caused that because Eskridge is on the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage covering up the tackle and Cheetah goes
Speaker 1: in the short motion running parallel to the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage and the flag comes out. So I don't know
Speaker 1: what caused that, But there you go, and it's amid
Speaker 1: a multiple illegal shift calls they made in this game.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and take our first break rate there,
Speaker 1: come back and do individual standouts and misses and snap
Speaker 1: counts on the offense. That's the next Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 1: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by AutoNation. A
Speaker 1: few individual standouts to talk about. On the offensive side
Speaker 1: of the football. I thought alec Ingold played really well
Speaker 1: with his control and the way he scored up some
Speaker 1: blocks and frequently got knocked back and was consistently you know,
Speaker 1: creating edges and the b gaps that we didn't get
Speaker 1: to at the running game, which we'll get to in
Speaker 1: a second here. And I've seen a lot of talk
Speaker 1: about Austin Jackson, which again the pass protection thing, like
Speaker 1: you got to study the ball to figure out what
Speaker 1: happened there. I can I'll talk to him blue in
Speaker 1: the face and argue that point until we were, you know,
Speaker 1: one hundred years old here. But with the running game,
Speaker 1: I've seen you know, thousands of runs in this system now,
Speaker 1: and I think you're hard pressed to find a player
Speaker 1: who has better balance as he transitions from first level
Speaker 1: catch to second level climb. He plays so well connected,
Speaker 1: his center of gravity remains under him at all times,
Speaker 1: and he's able to attach to these linebackers running at
Speaker 1: full speed like it's so impressive for a guy that's
Speaker 1: always keeping his feet and we always talk about a
Speaker 1: guy that never keeps his feet like it's the complete
Speaker 1: opposite there with his athletic ability. I think Aaron Brewers
Speaker 1: had a great year so far as well. And it's
Speaker 1: funny because the knock on him in Tennessee was anchoring
Speaker 1: in one on one pass protection situations when he's giving
Speaker 1: up twenty thirty forty pounds to guys. But I can't
Speaker 1: recall more than a snap or two where he got
Speaker 1: beat on those. In fact, a lot of it has
Speaker 1: been teach tape from him where he shoots the hands,
Speaker 1: has patients patient feet as he builds towards the anchor
Speaker 1: and lets those guys' initial bold rush kind of peter out.
Speaker 1: Then he drops the anchor and stone walls them and
Speaker 1: gets himself in a position where he can redirect. And
Speaker 1: then it just becomes the rabbit drill from the combine,
Speaker 1: where you mirror the rusher's movements and keep him chasing
Speaker 1: air and Brewers so quick in that regard that once
Speaker 1: he gets to that spot, you're not going to beat him.
Speaker 1: I thought Jalen Wright earned more carries as he continues
Speaker 1: to do that. His natural feel for the angles to
Speaker 1: take at unblocked defenders is something I feel like we've
Speaker 1: been missing from the offense since for heem Moster it
Speaker 1: went down, and not just the running backs, but across
Speaker 1: the skilled groups. Like running parallel to the line scrimmage
Speaker 1: compared to getting upfield. I like the way Right hits
Speaker 1: it with conviction. Tyreek was open a lot. It's easy
Speaker 1: to see why he's frustrated. But now that said, you're
Speaker 1: a captain and the highest paid player at your position,
Speaker 1: all of that, right, So can we maybe show a
Speaker 1: little bit better body language? Can we not give up
Speaker 1: on fumbles? Can we stop having a costly play every
Speaker 1: single time you play a national prime time, And for
Speaker 1: the love of freaking God, can we stop running backwards
Speaker 1: when you catch the football. Oh and on the snap
Speaker 1: that went past Tyler Huntley, there is no reason to
Speaker 1: not be set right there. He was hit for a
Speaker 1: legal shift because we snapped it with a man in
Speaker 1: motion and Rieke was still moving like the snap was
Speaker 1: early for sure, but I can't understand why we're like
Speaker 1: two seconds from the snap and you're still not getting set.
Speaker 1: What do you He was just stand there like moving around,
Speaker 1: And then later he lines up on the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage and Escridge tells him to scoot back, and you
Speaker 1: know somebody was emotion and he didn't get set. It
Speaker 1: costs as another illegal shift. So bruh, how do you
Speaker 1: not know where to line up and the guy that
Speaker 1: just got here a few weeks ago does? It blows
Speaker 1: my mind some individual misses. Rob Jones has been on
Speaker 1: this list every single week and he continues to stay there.
Speaker 1: I feel like you have to make the change to
Speaker 1: Isaiah Win when he gets back, but it sounds like
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen anytime soon. McDaniel provided no updates
Speaker 1: for that on Tuesday. You got to make that move
Speaker 1: because the second drive he can't get connected to Aaron
Speaker 1: Brewer and loses the gap for a short run. The
Speaker 1: next step gets swiped and discarded. Next snap, I should say,
Speaker 1: gets swiped and discarded by a one on one pass
Speaker 1: brush and a Pham booth way too easily. He doesn't
Speaker 1: process either, like the Huntly Keeper on Power. In the
Speaker 1: second quarter, he goes for this combo block where there's
Speaker 1: an unblocked man off the edge, and he winds up
Speaker 1: blocking neither because he can't decide who to go to.
Speaker 1: If he had just gotten the way of the edge,
Speaker 1: it's a first down, but as a tackle for loss.
Speaker 1: The first drive of the second half, there's a game
Speaker 1: coming his way and he runs towards the Twister, not
Speaker 1: the the Hell and Hunt film that the guy does
Speaker 1: kind of twist off of the game. He runs at
Speaker 1: it and overruns it and then just has to turn
Speaker 1: back around and chase him back to the quarterback. And
Speaker 1: of course it's just been that way all year, like
Speaker 1: I don't know where you're going, it's coming to you.
Speaker 1: There's no patience, there's no processing. Everything is I thought
Speaker 1: Devon Acham was brutal, brutal, I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on there, because we haven't seen this from him in
Speaker 1: the past, but he just kept passing up these bang shots. Bounce, bang,
Speaker 1: or bend are your options on the outside zone. Bounce
Speaker 1: it to the perimeter, bang it up into the gap,
Speaker 1: bend it back in the cutback lane. And if I
Speaker 1: had to guess, I would think that it's like what
Speaker 1: we saw from Julio Rodriguez this year for the Seattle Mariners,
Speaker 1: something you guys are all privy to, right. We all
Speaker 1: watched all one hundred and sixty two Miers games this year.
Speaker 1: Essentially they had nothing going on around him, and every
Speaker 1: time he came to the plate in high leverage situations,
Speaker 1: he would chase the first pitch that was a foot
Speaker 1: off the plate and then wind up having a horrible
Speaker 1: bat where he swung at three balls because he pressed
Speaker 1: trying to hit the ball to loom and field across
Speaker 1: the street to get the three run home run. Too long.
Speaker 1: Didn't read he's pressing, But damn man, we had some
Speaker 1: well blocked plays that he'd either bounced or cut off.
Speaker 1: The first play of the second half stretches it out.
Speaker 1: There's a massive cutback lane and it's walled off on
Speaker 1: either side. You get a seal here, a seal here,
Speaker 1: in alle there, but he just keeps running to the
Speaker 1: edge right into the tackle, does the exact same thing
Speaker 1: on his next carry, runs into a scrape rather than
Speaker 1: the massive amount of daylight. I don't know. That was
Speaker 1: the worst game of his career. For my money, I
Speaker 1: thought Patrick Paul had a brutal start in his career.
Speaker 1: He's still catching in his technique when he gets deep
Speaker 1: into the drops. He was a little late to react
Speaker 1: on some pass pros as well. He looked like a
Speaker 1: rookie making his first career start. We had a designed
Speaker 1: shot play on the first rep after it was sixteen
Speaker 1: to six and you had everything set up. Now the
Speaker 1: receivers didn't get open. But this is where you missed
Speaker 1: Tron Armstead because they slide protection away from Paul and
Speaker 1: he has this horrendous technique where he gets smoked and
Speaker 1: gave up the sack. That would have been a big
Speaker 1: scramble gain for Snoop if he just stayed in the way.
Speaker 1: Thought Liam turned back into a pumpkin in this game.
Speaker 1: Well that might be harsh. It wasn't like last year's
Speaker 1: center bad, but it wasn't good, and then Waddle I
Speaker 1: had him getting shoved to the ground on a reroute
Speaker 1: where he was off the line of scrimmage, like, come on, dude,
Speaker 1: you have to get around those. Then the drop pass.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him let a ball into his body
Speaker 1: like that all year long. He does it, and here
Speaker 1: comes the drop seas And I also don't think he
Speaker 1: blocked very well in the game either. Offensive snap counts
Speaker 1: hunting in the entire line with the distance a chan
Speaker 1: continues to get a heavy workload seventy three percent of
Speaker 1: the work Jalen Wright got forty seven percent, with Jeff
Speaker 1: Wilson getting hurt in pregame playing just two snaps. I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see more Jalen Wright here going forward.
Speaker 1: Alec Ingold played thirty percent of the snaps, and him
Speaker 1: and the tight end crew like Julian Hill fifty percent,
Speaker 1: John hu Smith forty two percent, Durham smy thirty percent.
Speaker 1: It's just not been good enough all year from that group.
Speaker 1: And those are the guys that you need to play.
Speaker 1: When you have Reak and Waddle playing three corps of
Speaker 1: the snaps and Dwayne Eskridge playing a cord of the
Speaker 1: snaps or Braxon Barrio is playing a court and Malak Washington.
Speaker 1: All these guys played one quarter of the snaps like
Speaker 1: you have to have the other, you know, the muscle
Speaker 1: in the room play at a high level. Otherwise you're
Speaker 1: running guys out there that just don't you know, don't
Speaker 1: cut it. One last thing here, just again, I keep
Speaker 1: seeing this this thread and it's it's a losing argument
Speaker 1: on Twitter, but whatever, please consider other very other avenues
Speaker 1: for offensive line play than PFF grades. I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're watching because they're they're completely wrong. And I
Speaker 1: know Kyle Krabs the Great Lockdown, Dolphin's Host and Eric
Speaker 1: Smith from Three Archs percarious that way too. Just want
Speaker 1: you guys to think about that, because I could not
Speaker 1: disagree more with their O line assessment here. Early on,
Speaker 1: it's been an issue at times, but they've had massive gaps.
Speaker 1: And go watch the Hgan reel Man. There was so
Speaker 1: many big runs available for him and he just didn't
Speaker 1: take them. Let's pivot to the defense here before we
Speaker 1: take our last break and do the general takeaways before
Speaker 1: we get to the individuals. I get a kick out
Speaker 1: of teams trying to run duo on sealer and Campbell duos.
Speaker 1: When you get two double teams at the point of
Speaker 1: attack and then you try to climb off of that
Speaker 1: and get second level attachment, they stack it up and
Speaker 1: then when the second combo blocker tries to climb, the
Speaker 1: original blocker always loses his position on the block because
Speaker 1: they just aren't connected to the block well enough, and
Speaker 1: then the seiler or Campbell whind not making the play.
Speaker 1: It happened a ton early on this game, and I'm
Speaker 1: not smart enough to know how to adjust to this.
Speaker 1: This is a different topic, by the way, slow down, Travis.
Speaker 1: I'm not smart enough to know how to adjust this.
Speaker 1: But something I've noticed as a trend as we run
Speaker 1: a lot of robber from two high looks. That's where
Speaker 1: you have too high safety and one pivots to single
Speaker 1: high in the middle of the field and the other
Speaker 1: one comes down and tries to rob crossing routes from
Speaker 1: the backside of the formation. Teams have just been firing
Speaker 1: this deep curl where the receiver runs fifteen yards, turns
Speaker 1: back to the quarterback and the ball is there in
Speaker 1: this massive void of space. It's usually paired with a
Speaker 1: vertical from the one receiver that pulls the other half
Speaker 1: field safety over the top, and then we're walling off
Speaker 1: a crossing route that just never gets there, and we
Speaker 1: hit that too. I mentioned in the offensive portion. I
Speaker 1: think a chan had the curl in a play that
Speaker 1: we hit to Reek and Jacksonville that we didn't hit
Speaker 1: in this game. It's a great wrinkle, a great overplay
Speaker 1: concept off one of the more common concepts you'll see
Speaker 1: where the one vertical and the two on a crosser.
Speaker 1: It almost becomes this deeper version of smash where you're
Speaker 1: in the corner route and the hitch route, but adapted
Speaker 1: for a robber and cover one and you run it
Speaker 1: off play action so that hook linebacker can't get proper depth.
Speaker 1: We get hit on that all the time. To me, however,
Speaker 1: as far as positives go, the calling card of this
Speaker 1: football team so far through four games has been Anthony
Speaker 1: Weaver's sim pressure looks. That's like the one thing that's
Speaker 1: been consistently good for this team. The defense has been
Speaker 1: good man first on third downs and six in total defense.
Speaker 1: That's something I think we do really well four weeks
Speaker 1: in is these sim pressure looks. If you pull up
Speaker 1: NFL Pro you can sort quarterback pressures by down and
Speaker 1: if you go to the third down pressures. It's a
Speaker 1: beautiful balance of similar looks that evolve into something else
Speaker 1: post snap. And we got one of my favorite variations
Speaker 1: last night on the Ogbab pick where they condense Calvin
Speaker 1: Ridley in tight and so Ramsey is lined up over
Speaker 1: him and it converts to a pass rush for Jalen Ramsey,
Speaker 1: who was great in the game. Ogbab peels off on
Speaker 1: the other side and runs with the flat route and
Speaker 1: Levis reads the most basic passing concept in football, slant flat,
Speaker 1: although it turns into stick flat where rather than on
Speaker 1: the slant, you stick your route down and sure you
Speaker 1: numbers with the quarterback and the second he goes to
Speaker 1: throw that, Ogbab peels off the flat into the stick
Speaker 1: route and makes the catch. Great call, great execution, great
Speaker 1: knee grab down there and manual and we'll do a
Speaker 1: breakdown of that dolphin sim package on the next episode
Speaker 1: of HQ, so check that out on YouTube. I thought
Speaker 1: the Titans did a good job of sequencing their screen
Speaker 1: game with the run game. They committed to the flow
Speaker 1: of some of the pre snap motion and quick throws
Speaker 1: out to the perimeter to widen the Dolphins second level
Speaker 1: of defense, and then they'd show you know, drop back
Speaker 1: action which fans the rushers out wide. Then they find
Speaker 1: their way into the big gap, which had no second
Speaker 1: level defender because of the motion displacement. I think we're
Speaker 1: getting deeper into coverage bag as we go along here
Speaker 1: for Coach Weaver, like late second quarter they inverted Javon
Speaker 1: Holland and Kater Kohu in cover two where Holland runs
Speaker 1: down and plays the slot and Cater plays the deep
Speaker 1: half with Jordan Poyer opposite him. I just like seeing
Speaker 1: the variations of coverage and the rush that Anthony Weaver
Speaker 1: has at his disposal. I think this defense is playing
Speaker 1: well and will continue to get better. I also thought
Speaker 1: the linebackers played pretty well, but I think you can
Speaker 1: see the rep count wearing on them. And this is why,
Speaker 1: like you know, the whole Tom Brady established the run.
Speaker 1: Like making defenders tackle people for twenty snaps a game,
Speaker 1: it can have an impact in the way you play.
Speaker 1: And I thought in the second half they didn't get
Speaker 1: off as many blocks, and they couldn't stop the momentum
Speaker 1: of some of those down blocks trying to take those
Speaker 1: on and abdorbills blocks. I tend to think that's a
Speaker 1: side effect of all the three and outs the offense had.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and take our last break, come back
Speaker 1: and do individual standouts and misses and snap counts, and
Speaker 1: get the hell out of here. A Drift Time podcast
Speaker 1: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation,
Speaker 1: finishing up another rivening film review podcast with the individual standouts.
Speaker 1: Zach Seeler, on the first drive of the game, retraces
Speaker 1: a screen, beats a double team to stack a play up,
Speaker 1: and then on the next drive rides the wave on
Speaker 1: outside zone and makes the tackle wide of the numbers.
Speaker 1: He's a freaking stud dude. I love watching his tape
Speaker 1: every single week. I thought Kalays Campbell was really good too.
Speaker 1: The hustle on that Levis scramble where he got hurt
Speaker 1: was impressive. The very next series he plays the five
Speaker 1: technique and just effortlessly swims the tight end makes a
Speaker 1: tackle for loss. He did get back in the backfield
Speaker 1: on two plays where he destroyed blocks, but misstackles. He
Speaker 1: can just do a little bit better there, right, great
Speaker 1: player can do a little bit better. Jordan Brooks, this
Speaker 1: is the free agent that I saw on tape quite
Speaker 1: frankly block DEFEATIONI defeating. I just love the way he
Speaker 1: plays the angles. He knows where he has to get
Speaker 1: to force the back to change his track, and then
Speaker 1: has the change of direction to get back into shape
Speaker 1: after running that track down. So it's like you force
Speaker 1: him a change direction and then you meet him at
Speaker 1: that spot. It's impressive to me. He explodes out of
Speaker 1: his stands and flies around. He made a tackle on
Speaker 1: a drag route where he got depth to the sticks,
Speaker 1: felt the flow and closed before the quarterback through the
Speaker 1: football and was right there for the hit the moment
Speaker 1: he made the catch short of the sticks and actually
Speaker 1: jarred it free After review, I thought Ramsey was awesome
Speaker 1: in this game. He was in phase on Hopkins and Ridley.
Speaker 1: They run routes to his blind spots against his leverage,
Speaker 1: and he would wheel back into position. He rushed the
Speaker 1: edge effectively. He flattens the strong side seagap defender a
Speaker 1: lah Rashad Jones and Days of Old, and the way
Speaker 1: he would flatten on the line of scrimmage and make
Speaker 1: the play. In the running game. I saw him stick
Speaker 1: his face in the fan the run fit that was
Speaker 1: vintage Jalen Ramsey. I thought Emmanuel Ogba had two big
Speaker 1: plays outside of that up and down play, but the
Speaker 1: pick obviously, and then a second down tackle for loss
Speaker 1: where he beat a block and then sipped it through
Speaker 1: the traffic and took on the split flow tight end
Speaker 1: and made the tackle in the backfield. I thought Javaon
Speaker 1: was at his most impactful down around the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: really good into the box count and defeared some blocks
Speaker 1: and made some plays at the point of attack. And
Speaker 1: I put Anthony Walker in both categories. I thought he
Speaker 1: had some good moments in the running game. But they
Speaker 1: adjusted off of him though, and went after him where
Speaker 1: they got him on some two way go spots with
Speaker 1: pulling guards and that's a tough assignment. But he would
Speaker 1: often jump inside and basically take himself out of the
Speaker 1: play for the running back to hit the other opposite
Speaker 1: side of the gap and they would get out the
Speaker 1: gate on the other side. We had some not so
Speaker 1: great performances. I thought Chop Robinson got out physical all night.
Speaker 1: He also had a pick stunt rep where he I
Speaker 1: don't know enough ball to know how you convert this,
Speaker 1: but the tackle fanned out and he ran so far
Speaker 1: to go pick him and he didn't really need to
Speaker 1: be picked. And Emmanuel Ogball loops back over and it
Speaker 1: was just so easy for the guard and sent her
Speaker 1: to read this action that it was basically and it
Speaker 1: was the Cater defensiveass interference play, a critical play in
Speaker 1: the game. Speaking of Cater, it's the same thing every week.
Speaker 1: We're just there's no feel at the top of the route.
Speaker 1: I thought Deshaun Hann got knocked back the entire game.
Speaker 1: I think Benito Jones seems content to just kind of
Speaker 1: eat a block and not try to get off of it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the little one arm half swings, he takes it
Speaker 1: guys as they go by. He's like really comical to me.
Speaker 1: The juice or lack thereof on pass rush is also comical.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of that video of the construction worker
Speaker 1: who lines up for a pass route one on one
Speaker 1: versus the cornerback construction worker and all he does is
Speaker 1: like moves his hand and feet really fast, but doesn't
Speaker 1: go anywhere. That's what it looked like with Bonito Jones. Peely,
Speaker 1: his awareness of what's going on around him is just
Speaker 1: not there. There was a screen pass where he just
Speaker 1: ran up field out of the play, like they let
Speaker 1: him go and he just kept running that way. Got
Speaker 1: to retrace those I feel like JP never found his
Speaker 1: footing in this game. He tried to back door an
Speaker 1: outside zone play that lost and lost the edge. That's
Speaker 1: something that coaches will really get on him for and
Speaker 1: tape and if you back door, you have to make
Speaker 1: the play. And then Jordan Poyer, I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's competing for a lost step or his or what
Speaker 1: it is, but his angles of attack are just atrocious. Man.
Speaker 1: He's been a nightmare in space ten yards downfield. And
Speaker 1: I get that half field cover two has a lot
Speaker 1: of responsibility for the deep game, but man teams are
Speaker 1: picking on the underneath area against him. He's never even
Speaker 1: in the picture. The play before the end of half
Speaker 1: field goal, Cater is funneling a dig into Poyer, who's
Speaker 1: trying to rob double crossers in the backside, and like
Speaker 1: it runs right behind him, he just lets it go
Speaker 1: and there's nobody there. He's hunting for the interception, but
Speaker 1: all Rudolph has to do is wait, hitch up a beat,
Speaker 1: throw it into open space, easy conversion there, field goal
Speaker 1: three points. To end the half way too easy. It's
Speaker 1: been a liability all four games snap counts. Who cares?
Speaker 1: But Jordan Brooks with the distance Walker played all but
Speaker 1: six snaps. Duke got the other ones, and what a
Speaker 1: terrible night for Duke right. Javon Ramsey and Duck All
Speaker 1: with the distance Cater played thirty three snaps. I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna see some reduction there in his workload. Jordan
Speaker 1: Poyer also got reduced to thirty seven. Marcus May played thirty.
Speaker 1: I know that was an injuries Actually that's where that
Speaker 1: comes from. I hope it's to change, but we'll see
Speaker 1: fifty one snaps for Sealer. Let's set your watch to it.
Speaker 1: Campbell played thirty six, Hand played thirty seven. That's where
Speaker 1: your depth ends right there. If one of those guys
Speaker 1: goes down and Peelee comes in for eleven snaps in
Speaker 1: the game, like, that'll be an issue. Ogbah fifty one,
Speaker 1: Phillips thirty two, Chop twenty two, Bell fifteen. That group
Speaker 1: has been an issue man without Phillips. Oh, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be rough going forward, all right. Top five tapes Number
Speaker 1: one was Jalen Ramsey. I thought he was his best
Speaker 1: version of himself in this game. Jordan Brooks is number two,
Speaker 1: Zach Sealer number three, Klays Candell number four, and Javon
Speaker 1: Hall at number five. All defense, Let's get the hell
Speaker 1: out of here. I'm gonna go get some Mexican food
Speaker 1: with my family and go to Spirit Halloween. Just shopping
Speaker 1: with the family for the costumes. Looking forward to that.
