Speaker 1: is Drive Time with Travis Wheatfield. Back to throw to

Speaker 1: Waddle waddle to a shotgut back to throw looking ups
Speaker 1: up fires touchtop again it's waddle. It's six touchdown pass
Speaker 1: out of this day. Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins.
Speaker 1: Now let me check your pulse if none of what
Speaker 1: is up? Dolph fans and welcome to the Drive Time podcast,
Speaker 1: part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team,
Speaker 1: your Miami Dolphins. How's it going? Everybody? I am your host,
Speaker 1: Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, the third part of
Speaker 1: our end of season series reviewing each position group on
Speaker 1: the club, takes us inside the defensive backfield, will pick
Speaker 1: the Championship Round games this weekend and break down the
Speaker 1: top ten takeaways from your Miami Dolphins and this season.
Speaker 1: From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1: This is the Drive Time we have done the edge group,
Speaker 1: we have done the running backs, and now we're moving
Speaker 1: on to the defensive backs. If you cannot recognize the theme,
Speaker 1: we're going along with the top ten videos here takeaways
Speaker 1: defensive backs seems to make sense, and we start with
Speaker 1: the team accomplishments and rankings here of the Dolphins defensive backfield.
Speaker 1: And the ball production was just not there this year.
Speaker 1: Seven picks for the DBS fift P B U S
Speaker 1: or passes defense which includes interceptions as well, five fumbles
Speaker 1: forced and two recovered. Just not a lot seven and
Speaker 1: passing defense, and we talked about the injuries a whole
Speaker 1: heck of a lot. That was kind of the main theme,
Speaker 1: the main takeaway from this group. But all things considered,
Speaker 1: they did come up with some big plays and some
Speaker 1: big moments. The three I N T s versus Steelers
Speaker 1: two in the fourth quarter with them driving to win
Speaker 1: the game, fourth quarter shutout in Detroit, holding the Bears
Speaker 1: on those final two possessions putting points on the board,
Speaker 1: versus Houston with Row and X, and again versus Buffalo
Speaker 1: Row again this time with Zach Seeler. We saw them
Speaker 1: hold the last three opponents, even the Bills in the
Speaker 1: playoffs to make it four despite some short fields and
Speaker 1: long returns and turnovers on offense and unsustained drives on offense,
Speaker 1: and a lot of those games, I think we saw
Speaker 1: them get better late and again despite everything, helped keep
Speaker 1: Miami in a lot of those games with some big
Speaker 1: plays and some big spots. But obviously we know that
Speaker 1: there was a lot more to the story than just that.
Speaker 1: Um Third down defense was an issue all year, the
Speaker 1: off coverage against you know, third, medium, third and short
Speaker 1: press coverage and leaving all kinds of droves of green
Speaker 1: grass down the field for this gauntlet of order backs
Speaker 1: the Dolphins played this year to you know, make the
Speaker 1: blitz miss, to make the rush miss, and then take
Speaker 1: advantage of a banged up secondary and experience and guys
Speaker 1: that frankly just weren't brought here to play the cornerback position.
Speaker 1: Being put in those positions and going up against the
Speaker 1: league's best. Those are the matchups that coaches try to
Speaker 1: identify weekend and week out on the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, who's my rabbit? Who am I going after
Speaker 1: this week? And for Miami this year, it was just
Speaker 1: consistent that they had multiple guys in those positions. The
Speaker 1: games where you didn't have Xaviing Howard for instance, Gosh,
Speaker 1: it was tough to get stops, wasn't it um, And
Speaker 1: we saw it last year in the games without Exaviing
Speaker 1: and Byron Jones, it was incredibly tough to get off
Speaker 1: the field, like that Jacksonville game for instance. Mimney wins
Speaker 1: that game if they have their top two corners. But
Speaker 1: it's been a problem now for the last couple of
Speaker 1: years because of availability. And this year we saw x
Speaker 1: have statistically one of the worst seasons in the NFL
Speaker 1: for our cornerback, which he'll tell you from the will
Speaker 1: be the first one I tell you it it wasn't up
Speaker 1: to his standards. So this group, I think you can
Speaker 1: expect a lot of improvement Inherently. I think getting Brandon
Speaker 1: Jones back is going to be massively important for this defense.
Speaker 1: I think that he was probably the biggest loss that
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about ad nauseum and the way you
Speaker 1: talked about Byron Jones, I think it was almost on
Speaker 1: that same level of playing field in terms of Byron
Speaker 1: Jones and Exaviing Howard shut down cornerback ability on the perimeters.
Speaker 1: How this defense was built and constructed. I think ultimately
Speaker 1: why you have a change there at the defensive coordin
Speaker 1: in a position. Talk about that here in just a second,
Speaker 1: but also Brandon Jones impact in terms of the interchangeability
Speaker 1: from the two safeties that we saw frequently, your big
Speaker 1: nickel packages and the ability to be interchangeable. Go back
Speaker 1: and watch the opening day Patriots game, Like the first
Speaker 1: drive of the game, you see the Patriots shift in
Speaker 1: motion and pre snap stuff and and uh, Javon Holland
Speaker 1: and Brandon Jones like swapped their roles. I think once
Speaker 1: you lost Brandon Jones, you lost the ability to do that.
Speaker 1: Javon Holland became pretty much a middle of the field
Speaker 1: post safety and it took away opera tutunities for him
Speaker 1: to make plays. And I think that if you can
Speaker 1: get better interchangeability back in that position, better communication and
Speaker 1: flexibility which I think we saw in those final games
Speaker 1: down the stretch, to improve the defense in general. But
Speaker 1: I thought that losing Brandon Jones and that middle stretch
Speaker 1: and the difficulty of overcoming that, to me, it was
Speaker 1: just as big as the Byron Jones lost because it
Speaker 1: took away your best playmaker. In my opinion in Javon
Speaker 1: Holland and um, you know they're five free agents here
Speaker 1: to start the year before we get to the new
Speaker 1: league year. In this group, Eric Rowe, Elijah Campbell, Clayton
Speaker 1: Federlum at safety and then Nick Needham and Justin Bethel
Speaker 1: at cornerback. And I want to look at the individuals
Speaker 1: here real quick, but just to go back to that
Speaker 1: point about the defensive cordin to position and the primary
Speaker 1: man principles, press man, you know, mirror, don't don't actually
Speaker 1: put hands and look on the receiver and blitz like
Speaker 1: crazy and try to create pressure with good tight coverage
Speaker 1: to force tight window throws and get off the field
Speaker 1: with checkdowns and completions play beyond the sticks. And we
Speaker 1: just didn't see it, how but enough on third down.
Speaker 1: This defense got to third down plenty, but was bad
Speaker 1: on third down. So how do you improve that? I
Speaker 1: think it's very clear as you see the personnel of
Speaker 1: the team shift towards the strength being on the front
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage. Jalen Phillips, from my money,
Speaker 1: is one of the top ten pass rushers off the
Speaker 1: edge already. I think he's going to have a massive
Speaker 1: massive season where you see those pressures convert to sacks
Speaker 1: next year. And he was as impactful in the run
Speaker 1: and against the past as anybody in the NFL at
Speaker 1: that position all year long. I think that Bradley Chubb
Speaker 1: will be much better. And his impact was you know,
Speaker 1: wasn't in the same way that Phillips wasn't there in
Speaker 1: the numbers, but his impact was definitely um tangible with
Speaker 1: the way he sped up opposing passing games. And we
Speaker 1: know what he can do, especially in a defense that
Speaker 1: will you know, allow him to play you know, four
Speaker 1: man pressures and better coverage in the back end that
Speaker 1: creates more opportunities for redirect and and you know, moves
Speaker 1: back to the inside to to get further pressure on
Speaker 1: the quarterback because he has to hold the ball longer
Speaker 1: opposed to just pumping that thing out in two point
Speaker 1: three or two point four or two point five seconds.
Speaker 1: Every time Miami got quarterbacks to two point six two
Speaker 1: point seven, they were getting sacks and pressures and interceptions
Speaker 1: and you know, impacting the passing game that way. To me,
Speaker 1: that falls largely on the cornerback position. And we also
Speaker 1: see the candidates the Dolphins are looking at right now
Speaker 1: that have been reported with Vic Fangio, with Sean de Sais,
Speaker 1: with um freaking Chris Rochard almost said Richard Jenkins for
Speaker 1: some reason, and then Anthony Campanelli in house. Those top
Speaker 1: three guys are all part of You know, it's not
Speaker 1: necessarily the quarter half quarter quarter half cover six type
Speaker 1: defense you get, but it's zone principles, four man pressures
Speaker 1: and play coverage and kind of be disguising in your
Speaker 1: shells and your coverage and rely upon four guys up
Speaker 1: front to create pressure. We talked about Phillips and Chub.
Speaker 1: You know, I would bring back Melvin Ingram. We talked
Speaker 1: about that earlier this week. Um, we'll see about Emmanuel
Speaker 1: Ogball's return, Christian Wilkins, Zach Seeler like, there are some
Speaker 1: dudes up front that will allow you to play that system.
Speaker 1: And then I talked about it earlier this week as well,
Speaker 1: the back end and the zone principles that I think
Speaker 1: would benefit a player like Xavian Howard who just has
Speaker 1: such ball hawking instincts, a Javan holland Brandon Jones for
Speaker 1: that matter. I think that transition makes tons of sense.
Speaker 1: You see a theme there among those guys Miami blitz
Speaker 1: like thirty three point seven percent of the time last year.
Speaker 1: All of these coordinators they're high they're interviewing, have a
Speaker 1: blitz history of like seventeen fifteen percent. So less pressure packages,
Speaker 1: rely upon your front four and play better coverage and
Speaker 1: put the guys in better position to play better coverage
Speaker 1: because it was a lot to ask for. We saw
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman talk about the difficulties of this defense for
Speaker 1: a cornerback playing on the perimeter. If you can make
Speaker 1: that job easier, I think you can get better production
Speaker 1: because of what you have in your front four rushing.
Speaker 1: So that's my issue with what the defense was this
Speaker 1: year and why I think they were twenty seven against
Speaker 1: the past and terrible on third downs. Now, let's talk
Speaker 1: about the individuals here in the cornerbacks. I want to
Speaker 1: look at a few stats and I think are very
Speaker 1: telling about players. Numbers, Um, we're gonna look at coverage
Speaker 1: snaps and yards allowed, and just to give your frame
Speaker 1: reference here across the NFL, Tyson Campbell for Jacksonville, who
Speaker 1: I thought was a slot corner kicked outside this year,
Speaker 1: allowed just point six five yards per coverage snap this year.
Speaker 1: That was best in the NFL, So keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: We talked all year about perimeter cornerbacks having a one
Speaker 1: even number. There is good point six five as elite
Speaker 1: obviously passer rating against James Bradberry and Philly lad the
Speaker 1: Way forty eight point four snaps per target, which kind
Speaker 1: of tells you how often guys are just locking down
Speaker 1: the route, not even being threatened by the posing quarterback.
Speaker 1: Patrick Surtan the second nine point two snaps per target.
Speaker 1: What a player he is forced in completion percentage when
Speaker 1: you were targeted, did you force the ball to not
Speaker 1: be caught? Sauce Gardner was at s percent to lead
Speaker 1: lead the Way in that category. And then we'll do
Speaker 1: ball production, which is self explanatory. And then run stops,
Speaker 1: which are tackles in a certain level UH in terms
Speaker 1: of how many yards they gained to the yards of
Speaker 1: the chains UH on first down, so less than four
Speaker 1: or less yards is a run stop on second down
Speaker 1: and third down conversions. It's how you tally run stops.
Speaker 1: Lagarious Need had forty two of those to lead all
Speaker 1: cornerbacks this year. So number nine in order of jersey number,
Speaker 1: Noah Igbanogeny. He was at one seventy two coverage snaps
Speaker 1: and one thirty four yards allowed, so under one. It's
Speaker 1: a good number there. I will say watching Iggy play
Speaker 1: is frustrating because there's a lack of feel and just
Speaker 1: understanding of where he is on the field and awareness
Speaker 1: for route concepts. And that's why I think where he
Speaker 1: gets in trouble a lot. I think he has suited
Speaker 1: to play. Just go cover a man is his best ability.
Speaker 1: We'll see how this impact or this defensive shift impacts
Speaker 1: him passer reading against this year, seventy seven point one
Speaker 1: six point nine yards or snaps per target. He had
Speaker 1: a thirteen percent forced in completion rate, how to pick
Speaker 1: and three passes defense and no run stops. But I
Speaker 1: think those numbers again, he didn't play a whole lot
Speaker 1: in active lot of the year. Big fourth year for
Speaker 1: Noah Igbogny coming up here on his rookie contract number
Speaker 1: twenty Justin Bethel's a free agent. Hundred two coverage snaps,
Speaker 1: one or seven yards allowed, So pretty even there for
Speaker 1: a guy that has been almost his entire career exclusive
Speaker 1: to specialty games. I was impressed every time he had
Speaker 1: to step in and play a role on defense. I
Speaker 1: thought he did a job. His pass rating allowed was
Speaker 1: seventy point to his snaps per target was four point six.
Speaker 1: He forced in completions ten percent at the time, had
Speaker 1: to pick and four passes defense, and made two run stops.
Speaker 1: I would not mind at all bringing him back in
Speaker 1: a special team's capacity and super super death piece, because
Speaker 1: he proved he can be your six or seven cornerback.
Speaker 1: I think this year xaviing Howard again not a good
Speaker 1: year for him. Seven hundred and four coverage snaps nine
Speaker 1: and ten yards allowed, a one fourteen point six passer rating.
Speaker 1: He was targeted every seven point six snaps, did have
Speaker 1: an incompletion forced rate of eighteen percent, a pick and
Speaker 1: twelve passes defense, along with seven run stops, but teams
Speaker 1: went after him man like he was asked to do
Speaker 1: a lot. I think Byron Jones not being on the
Speaker 1: other side required that, like in the playoff game when
Speaker 1: he had the field side of the formation, no safety help,
Speaker 1: and like basically fifty yards of grass to cover against
Speaker 1: Devon Diggs. Nobody's gonna be able to do that. So
Speaker 1: I don't blame it on him as much as the system,
Speaker 1: but I think that putting him more on a zone
Speaker 1: based eyes in the quarter back type of deal will
Speaker 1: benefit his career, you know, going into the thirties, much
Speaker 1: in the way Patrick Peterson's career has been prolonged by
Speaker 1: going from man coverage to more primary zone hunt ball
Speaker 1: hawk type of style of defense. Keion Crossing played three
Speaker 1: d and twenty seven coverage STAPs allowed two hundred nine yards.
Speaker 1: Obviously the past pass interference calls with the things against
Speaker 1: him though, because anytime guys got vertical on him and
Speaker 1: he got out of phase, he panicked and grabbed them
Speaker 1: and that was critical and some big spots especial against
Speaker 1: the Patriots point one passer rating eight point three snaps
Speaker 1: per target, six forced in completion rate, the ball production
Speaker 1: four passes defense. He also made four run stops. I
Speaker 1: love me some k or Cohu Man six hundred thirty
Speaker 1: coverage snaps, seven hundred and thirteen yards allowed. Obviously on
Speaker 1: the wrong side of one, but for a rookie playing
Speaker 1: inside and outside and playing so many damn snaps this year,
Speaker 1: he was impressive as hell had passed. A rating against
Speaker 1: him was eighty three point seven five point two snaps
Speaker 1: per target, so he was the guy teams like hey
Speaker 1: rookie undrafted free agent Texas and e Commerce o cover.
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs, go cover, Gabe Davis, go cover. You know,
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, go over the top of the line. You
Speaker 1: know college to NFL receivers. Eleven percent forced in completion rate,
Speaker 1: the ball production, a pick, a forced fumble, and ten
Speaker 1: passes defense, and he made twenty eight run stops, which
Speaker 1: was six among all cornerbacks in the NFL. He was
Speaker 1: a great screen defender all year long. Nick Needum played
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty one snaps allowed a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty eight yards. It's a good number for him. A
Speaker 1: one six team point one passergating. He was only targeted
Speaker 1: every ten point nine snaps in completion rate. That's good
Speaker 1: ball production. There, two passes defense and six run stops.
Speaker 1: To me, need Hum is the perfect number four corner
Speaker 1: that he can plug in any of the three spots
Speaker 1: at once. I lose a cornerback, put need him there
Speaker 1: X field side of the formation slot, put him wherever
Speaker 1: you want. I would love him in that role. Curiously,
Speaker 1: the contract he gets from us or someone else this offseason,
Speaker 1: and then your d NPS Byron Jones didn't play all
Speaker 1: year either to Trull Williams and Tino Ellis Is here
Speaker 1: on a futures contract free agents at this position, I
Speaker 1: think you can pretty safely say at the tight end
Speaker 1: and cornerback positions were the main reasons that nine and
Speaker 1: nine happened. Quarterback injuries aside UH injuries, were the biggest
Speaker 1: coal print. At corner I could see a world where x,
Speaker 1: cater Nick and Shrill are your one through four corners
Speaker 1: next year, and maybe with a re envisioned scheme that
Speaker 1: could be enough. I don't know, we'll see. This is
Speaker 1: an expensive position to upgrade. Getting out of the Jones
Speaker 1: contract would come with a penalty, but also free up
Speaker 1: some money if they choose to do that on June one.
Speaker 1: Curiously what that looks like, because that was a contentious
Speaker 1: situation all year long. Top of the market offers guys
Speaker 1: that have excelled, taking the football away, playing zone and
Speaker 1: even defense is similar to what it appears Miami are
Speaker 1: going after James Bradberry top that list. I wonder if
Speaker 1: the Eagles can fit him into their plans with all
Speaker 1: the guys they have to pay. I think maybe not,
Speaker 1: especially with Darius Slay there and Chauncey Gardner Johnson, Marcus
Speaker 1: Peters and Kyle Fuller from the Ravens are both free agents.
Speaker 1: Peters is one of the best all time at camping
Speaker 1: and zones and keying quarterbacks make splash plays. Patrick Peterson
Speaker 1: mentioned him earlier, had a career resurgence doing just that
Speaker 1: from man to more zone principles. Also played under ed
Speaker 1: Donna Tell last year, which could be a one year
Speaker 1: stop gap solution here from Miami if he comes along
Speaker 1: with a potential higher here for the Dolphins. There are
Speaker 1: names all up and down. Any interest in gambling on
Speaker 1: someone like Jason Verrett after another injury because that's like
Speaker 1: your bargain level by on a guy that could be
Speaker 1: a high, you know, low risk, high reward. How about
Speaker 1: his teammate Emmanuel Moseley. Jamal Dean is out there if
Speaker 1: you want another physical man corner with length. But he's
Speaker 1: also played under Todd Bowl, so that's some zone concepts
Speaker 1: there as well. He intrigues me. Uh Greedy Williams wasn't
Speaker 1: a huge fan of him as a prospect, but he
Speaker 1: would be a system fit provided we go in that direction.
Speaker 1: Sean Murphy Bunting from Tampa another guy like Cameron Sutton,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Jones, Fabian Moreau, Anthony Brown. Lots of names out there, guys.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these contracts from you're starting
Speaker 1: to kind of come true, these short term deals, and
Speaker 1: you have all kinds of UFA's this offseason. Uh, two
Speaker 1: names per tier. Your top premium resource investment to be
Speaker 1: to me would be James Brad Barry or Marcus Peters
Speaker 1: are my preferences there. My mid range investments would be
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson and Greedy Williams. Although if you have Pat
Speaker 1: Pete and Nixhavian Howard on the perimeter, you were asking
Speaker 1: to get beat vertically, it's a dangerous game. My bargain
Speaker 1: bin bias would be Rocky A. Sin. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be bargained on him and Jason Verrett
Speaker 1: because of the injuries. Gotta see what happens with our
Speaker 1: own X. I think should be here. Cater, for sure,
Speaker 1: we'll be here. I tend to think Nick will be
Speaker 1: to probably not twenty four. I don't know. We'll see
Speaker 1: about that. Intrigued as hell by Trull Williams, but I
Speaker 1: think you need another solid vet and probably another draft
Speaker 1: pick to go along with that, you cannot afford the
Speaker 1: attrition that you had this year to play the role
Speaker 1: did in your record and put special teams aces into
Speaker 1: the game for long stretches of play. In the draft,
Speaker 1: it's a great year for depth. I think you can
Speaker 1: say so long to four or five guys that will
Speaker 1: be long gone by the time our pick comes around.
Speaker 1: With Witherspoon, Gonzalez, Porter Jr. Cam Smith, and Rix. I
Speaker 1: think Keely Ringo is the first one that I think
Speaker 1: becomes an option. He's a physical marvel who has such
Speaker 1: a penchant for playmaking, but does it needs some seasoning.
Speaker 1: That's worth a two to me. I'm a big fan
Speaker 1: of his game. We'll see what he does as a pro.
Speaker 1: Maryland's Deonte Banks is also nice. Big play a lot
Speaker 1: of zone press zone in college. He moves well for
Speaker 1: that makeup as well in terms of the length and physicality.
Speaker 1: Then TCU stre Various Hodges, Thomlinson is just a play
Speaker 1: waiting to happen for three speed, smooth transitions. All of that,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and take our first break here long
Speaker 1: podcast come back on the other side and do the
Speaker 1: safety position and the championship round picks that's next Drivetime
Speaker 1: Podcast your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation,
Speaker 1: Segment number two on part number three of off season
Speaker 1: number four for your boy here on the Drivetime Podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm one month away from my three year anniversary on
Speaker 1: the job, heading into year number four, and this is
Speaker 1: the most excited I've been. I think last year I
Speaker 1: was excited, but I think that the improvements you're going
Speaker 1: to see on top of the excitement we had last year.
Speaker 1: How is me fired up? For three season? And we
Speaker 1: pick it up here reviewing the roster how to improve
Speaker 1: it going into this offseason with the safety group. Javon
Speaker 1: Holland is the first player on the list in order
Speaker 1: of jersey number number eight. He played seven hundred forty
Speaker 1: six coverage snaps and allowed three hundred and three yards.
Speaker 1: But again that number, it doesn't really tell you a
Speaker 1: lot because he's primarily playing middle of the field safety
Speaker 1: and there are games where he gets no action back there.
Speaker 1: In the passing game, Miami's deep passing defense that was
Speaker 1: very good, and I think Javon Holland is the reason
Speaker 1: for that pass rush production. He had nine pressures, one hit,
Speaker 1: and one sack. His ball production or one and a
Speaker 1: half sacks. I'm sorry. Ball production, two picks, one force fumble,
Speaker 1: no recoveries, seven passes defense, and seventeen run stops. To me,
Speaker 1: the biggest crime of this defense this year was limiting
Speaker 1: Javon Hollands playmaking opportunities. Of course, the picks, the two
Speaker 1: in the breakular season, three in the in the postseason, um,
Speaker 1: the big hits. The ability to kind of come from
Speaker 1: that cloud support and run defense blitzing off the edge
Speaker 1: just wasn't there as much this year. I think that
Speaker 1: that really hampered his ability to make game changing plays.
Speaker 1: I hope we get to see more of that next year.
Speaker 1: I still believe that he is as good or can be,
Speaker 1: I should say, as good as somebody like Ed Reid
Speaker 1: uh number twenty one, eric row four and twenty coverage
Speaker 1: snaps five hundred and seventy nine yards. He's not the
Speaker 1: tight aenndy racer he used to be, but he still
Speaker 1: is a very valuable player. I love him in that
Speaker 1: third safety role, playing fifty percent of the snaps, five pressures,
Speaker 1: two hits and two sacks, had two forced fumbles and
Speaker 1: two passes defense, and twenty three run stops. Just so
Speaker 1: much respect for Eric Row and how he overmade his
Speaker 1: game in the position change a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: and I just think he's a good, good football player.
Speaker 1: Would love to have him back. Number twenty two Elijah
Speaker 1: Campbell fifty five coverage snaps, forty seven yards allowed, two pressures,
Speaker 1: one hit, no sacks, had a pass defense and three
Speaker 1: run stops. I like his game. He's very, very good
Speaker 1: on special teams. I think he's a great dime or
Speaker 1: even you know, half dollar defender. Come out of the
Speaker 1: field with six or seven defensive backs and kind of
Speaker 1: be a sure tackler guy that can cover you know,
Speaker 1: tight ends, even spy the quarterback like we saw against
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in that playoff game. Big fan of his
Speaker 1: game and I want to see more of him hopefully
Speaker 1: going forward. Number twenty nine Brandon Jones a hundred nine
Speaker 1: coverage snaps, one eight seven yards allowed, five pressures, two hits,
Speaker 1: two sacks that forced fumble did turn to a touchdown
Speaker 1: by the way, the one ball production. He had, three
Speaker 1: passes defense and fourteen run stops. Talked about him at
Speaker 1: length his timing understanding of how to uh, you know,
Speaker 1: motion away from his his side of the field to
Speaker 1: make him weak, which puts him as a as a
Speaker 1: blitzer conversion, and he can get in there and make
Speaker 1: plays because the way he times at the snap count
Speaker 1: so well. Number three two of Ronan McKinley a hundred
Speaker 1: coverage snaps, seven yards allowed. You didn't throw at him
Speaker 1: because he was twenty yards off the football. Two pressures,
Speaker 1: one hit, had an interception in the past defense and
Speaker 1: no run stops. He's a nice depth piece. Number forty
Speaker 1: two Clayton federal Um three coverage snaps, a hundred and
Speaker 1: nine yards allowed, no production otherwise free agents at this position.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys have seen the links to join
Speaker 1: or employer. He wants to get paid by Buffalo. But
Speaker 1: I also have seen the tea leaves, so to speak,
Speaker 1: from himself talking about it, liking tweets on Twitter, and
Speaker 1: his girlfriend as well. He's a Miami kid. He's talked
Speaker 1: about his connection here. If the Dolphins want to go
Speaker 1: in that route, thirty two year old safety, you know,
Speaker 1: if they can make that happen, that would be far
Speaker 1: in a way the best one to three safety punch
Speaker 1: and football. But Travis, how do you get all those
Speaker 1: guys on the field easy? As your big nickel package.
Speaker 1: You remove your slot corner and you use that third
Speaker 1: safety instead, which would give you, you you know ex. Cater
Speaker 1: Holland Jones and pay or if you would go that route.
Speaker 1: We ran plenty of that over the years. Think about
Speaker 1: Minko Fitzpatrick and his rookie year and also helped mitigate
Speaker 1: some of the potential wars. You would have a corner
Speaker 1: and it makes you stronger against the run as well.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, Jesse Bates has been one of my
Speaker 1: fair players since his draft year. Best range and playmakings
Speaker 1: free safety and football for my money, but he's too expensive.
Speaker 1: Von Bell is the opposite type of player, just as good,
Speaker 1: probably also too expensive and probably redundant to Brandon Jones.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward's as super player who knows the head coach well.
Speaker 1: Devin mccorty would love to have him down here in
Speaker 1: any capacity if he wanted to do that, Maybe someone
Speaker 1: like Dron Harmon as a third safety with his special
Speaker 1: team's ability. I like Dan Kruek Shank in the same way.
Speaker 1: One thorn Hills, a free agent NA see her atally
Speaker 1: is a good looking player as well, and if you
Speaker 1: want to get me totally jacked dropped the hammer on
Speaker 1: Chauncey Gardner Johnson. I've never been a bigger fan of
Speaker 1: player than his, and the draft wanted Miami to take
Speaker 1: him at number eighteen a few years back. He wound
Speaker 1: up going in the third round. He's a Pro Bowl player,
Speaker 1: one of the biggest ball hawks in football and the
Speaker 1: best trash talker as well. But no way Philly Delphia
Speaker 1: lets him leave. He is a great player. But does
Speaker 1: that mean that James Bradberry shakes free? Who knows two
Speaker 1: names per tier player and Gardner Johnson far far and away.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward and Devin mccordy are the mid tier options,
Speaker 1: and my bargain buys would be Dron Harmon and Dan
Speaker 1: Kruik Shank. And the draft you start getting into possible
Speaker 1: options near the top of the list because not many
Speaker 1: of these guys will go in round one. Do you
Speaker 1: want to spend your top capital on a position that
Speaker 1: has Javon and Brandon in years three or four? Not me?
Speaker 1: I like Penn Stage Jy yere Brown ten picks last
Speaker 1: two years and plays all over the formation. Full transparency.
Speaker 1: Haven't done much work on the safety class because I
Speaker 1: don't think it will be a high priority for Miami
Speaker 1: and the draft this year. But I don't, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll see him in business till like
Speaker 1: day three at best here. So let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: pivot mid segment here to Championship weekend. I wanted to
Speaker 1: make my Championship round picks here first, but to revisit
Speaker 1: one of my favorite roster building tenants. Frankly, ever, Daniel
Speaker 1: Jeremiah at Move the Sticks on Twitter, former scout in
Speaker 1: the NFL, current NFL Draft lead analysts on NFL Network
Speaker 1: Once upon Time tweeted his personal foundation of a championship
Speaker 1: roster was this quality quarterback, three offensive playmakers, three quality
Speaker 1: offensive line to quality pass rushers, and three defensive playmakers.
Speaker 1: And that got me thinking, where does Miami stack up
Speaker 1: in this exercise? Where does the four teams playing this
Speaker 1: weekend stack up? I think you need to be able
Speaker 1: to define what each of those are. And from Miami,
Speaker 1: there's one spot that is vacant to me, and that's
Speaker 1: the third playmaker on the offense. And the reason they
Speaker 1: aren't checking the box in each of these categories is
Speaker 1: because that third playmaker, to me, would be a free
Speaker 1: agent Raheem Mostert went over a hundred thousand or a
Speaker 1: hundred thousand a thousand yards from scrimmage this year. That's
Speaker 1: pretty on the verge of being a playmaker to me.
Speaker 1: But as we do here on the pod, numbers corroborate
Speaker 1: the tape, right, and the tape tells me where Hem
Speaker 1: as a playmaker. Because while sometimes I changed my philosophies
Speaker 1: about the game as I learned and develop a deeper
Speaker 1: understanding of it, one thing I've been pretty consistent in
Speaker 1: is my personal preference that are running back is someone
Speaker 1: who can score the football when it's blocked well. And
Speaker 1: by score I mean find the end zone or run
Speaker 1: for sixty eight yards on one play. And frankly, with
Speaker 1: all the broken tackles on the sixty eight yard run
Speaker 1: Raheem had, that was more about Raheem than it was blocking.
Speaker 1: But you get what I'm saying. He's explosive and that
Speaker 1: translates to the passing game too. But since we are
Speaker 1: evaluating two rosters, we'll go ahead and count Raheem. So
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins to uh Tyreek, Jalen and Raheem. You
Speaker 1: feel good about the top two. Obviously the third I'll
Speaker 1: leave it up into interpretation. He makes my list here
Speaker 1: on the offensive line to Ron Connor and Rob. You
Speaker 1: want to argue about that, go talk to a Wall,
Speaker 1: Jalen and Chub As the pass rushers, I would give
Speaker 1: you more than that as well. And then playmakers a
Speaker 1: Xavian Howard, Javon Hall, and Brandon Jones. We talked about
Speaker 1: their ball production. So Miami is kind of spilling over
Speaker 1: on the side of the glass here in this exercise.
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I'm sure I would call I
Speaker 1: wouldn't call Christian or Zach pass rushers or playmakers because
Speaker 1: to me, those means sacks and ball production. But that's
Speaker 1: a rare thing to get in general, much less so
Speaker 1: on the interior defensive line. But there's gotta be a
Speaker 1: category for a player like Christian and Zach's caliber, because
Speaker 1: those dudes are fantastic, but they don't quite fit the
Speaker 1: mold here. Emmanuel Oddba is also a really good pass rusher.
Speaker 1: I would say quality, so as Melvin Ingram. I tend
Speaker 1: to think Kate or co who could be trending towards
Speaker 1: playmaker the way he makes plays against the run and
Speaker 1: finds the football. I also like the Irons, we have
Speaker 1: the fire on the offensive. Three guys really proved to
Speaker 1: be near the top of the respective position groups, but
Speaker 1: we have a lot of developing parts that could prove
Speaker 1: to go beyond three very very soon. So I want
Speaker 1: to do this originally and then then as I go
Speaker 1: through it, I think it's a good way to quantify
Speaker 1: where the Dolphins roster presently is. Let's look at the
Speaker 1: teams playing this weekend. For the Chiefs, Mahomes obviously, Kelsey playmaker.
Speaker 1: The next player in terms of yards from scrimmage is
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco with nine sixty. Then Juju Smith Schuster at three.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call those guys playmakers. Humphrey Smith, Tuney and
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown Jr. Gives them four quality of aligne. In
Speaker 1: terms of the pass rushers, you have Jones Clark, and
Speaker 1: then Carl Loftus came into his own as a rookie.
Speaker 1: Playmakers a luxurious sneed I would put up there because
Speaker 1: of the run stop production, but also justin Reid sort of,
Speaker 1: they're not. They're probably the least of the four teams here.
Speaker 1: The Bengals Joe Burrow obviously, but then the playmakers Chase
Speaker 1: Higgins and mixing is yeah, guaranteed, plus Tyler Boyd, but
Speaker 1: he only had seven hundred and sixty three yards this year,
Speaker 1: his first non one thousand yards from scrimmage season as
Speaker 1: a pro. A lot of the love has to go
Speaker 1: around the rest of the room. There their offensive line, though,
Speaker 1: I mean Jonah Williams, I would say, is Alex Cappa,
Speaker 1: I would say is. I think Jackson Carmon can be.
Speaker 1: I think Lyle Collins can be. But they're not quite
Speaker 1: there yet, so they don't have the full compliment either.
Speaker 1: Pass rushers. They have that with Hendrickson and Hubbard. I
Speaker 1: know you're probably saying Hubbard's not there yet, but to me,
Speaker 1: he's a really impact player. And then in the secondary
Speaker 1: they're loaded or the playmakers on defense, Bell, Bates, Hilton
Speaker 1: and Pratt are all really good ball ball players and playmakers.
Speaker 1: The Eagles Jalen Hurts obviously, Brown, Smith and Sanders in
Speaker 1: terms of a J Brown, Tavante, Smith, Myles standards for
Speaker 1: the playmaker role. And then they just get ridiculous from here.
Speaker 1: Offensive line, I've got four with Johnson, my Letta, Kelsey
Speaker 1: and Dicker sim the pass rush, it's even more crazy Reddick, Hardgrave, Sweat, Graham,
Speaker 1: and Cox. Four guys have ten or more sacks there.
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox is the only one that doesn't. He's a stud.
Speaker 1: And then playmakers. Reddick gets here again because five force
Speaker 1: bubbles and sixteen stacks as a playmaker. And then Chauncey Gardner,
Speaker 1: Johnson areous slagha Vonte Maddox to create. They're gonna win
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and they're a great team. The forty Niners.
Speaker 1: I would say, nobody at quarterback Garoppolo is quality, but
Speaker 1: he's not playing pretty. I don't. We'll see man, We'll
Speaker 1: see about Brock pretty uh. Playmakers. I mean you got
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel pretty pretty good, Christian McCaffrey pretty good, George
Speaker 1: Kittle pretty good. I think Brandon Ayuka is in that
Speaker 1: category as well. Along the offensive line, Trent Williams, Aaron Banks,
Speaker 1: Mike McGlinchey is a free agent, by the way, this year,
Speaker 1: pass rushers, Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, I mean, do you
Speaker 1: put Fred Warren that category? I would put Fred Warner
Speaker 1: my defensive playmaker, along with Jimmy Ward, Andre Greenlaw and
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa and that entire damn defense. So those guys
Speaker 1: are loaded there as well, but the quarterback position is
Speaker 1: the one they're not really like all the way there
Speaker 1: yet these might be the four best teams in the NFL,
Speaker 1: which makes for a fun slate of the games. I
Speaker 1: think this will be the weekend we get the classic games.
Speaker 1: It's usually divisional round weekend, but I think it's coming here.
Speaker 1: Eight and two picks in the playoffs, three and one
Speaker 1: last round, but my super Bowl pick is out. I'm
Speaker 1: pivoting to the Eagles to not just get there now,
Speaker 1: but to win the whole thing, which means I'm taking
Speaker 1: Philly over San Francisco. I don't know why I have
Speaker 1: in the a f C. It's a toss up to
Speaker 1: me because of mahomes Ankle. I would take the Chiefs
Speaker 1: if he was healthy, because I just think they're on
Speaker 1: a you know, they're on a mission this year. What
Speaker 1: a game it's gonna be. I think the Chiefs are
Speaker 1: gonna be so hungry for you know, the number, super
Speaker 1: Bowl number two. With now five straight a f C
Speaker 1: championship games, and if Andy Reid loses this, he'll have
Speaker 1: the most home losses and a f C championship games ever,
Speaker 1: which is a weird stat um. But it's cool at
Speaker 1: the same time, on top of the fact that they're
Speaker 1: trying to avenge the loss last year and three straight
Speaker 1: games to the Bengals. But Cincinnati has to be just
Speaker 1: as hungry, thinking we want to get back to the
Speaker 1: big game and win it this year. What a fun weekend.
Speaker 1: Give me Eagles, give me Chiefs last break. Right here,
Speaker 1: we'll do Top ten takeaways. That's the next Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 1: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 1: Top ten Takeaways two season. Let's go ahead and start
Speaker 1: here in Chicago. On special teams, when Jalen Phillips got
Speaker 1: through and blocked upon and Andrew Van Ginkle scooped it
Speaker 1: up and scored it go in the other direction, Fredrick
Speaker 1: Wilson the return man. It stopped gil and it's rock
Speaker 1: it Dolphins try if they pick it up touchdow Elo
Speaker 1: scores the touchdown the first clock of the season. Phillips
Speaker 1: Jleb Phillips scoop that bit long body, got through Joe
Speaker 1: with that big long body, and the Dolphins put a
Speaker 1: touchdown on the board on special teams. Thanks for Jalen
Speaker 1: Phillips who made plays all year long. And Andrew Van
Speaker 1: Ginkle has second touchdown as a member of the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Mighty needed every point they got in that game, seven
Speaker 1: points there and a three point victory over the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: For number nine, we stay in the NFC North back
Speaker 1: down here in Miami as kater Cohu, it's his first
Speaker 1: career pick on Christmas Day. Rogers on the roll sets up,
Speaker 1: looks long, let's it go for the zard Bit's picked off.
Speaker 1: Cater Coho first career interception comes up, Aaron Rodgers, you've
Speaker 1: got a tie game third and fifteen from the plus
Speaker 1: thirty nine on the fringe of field goal range and
Speaker 1: the second half. Easy to expect Green Bay to take
Speaker 1: a short throw to make the kick easier, but they
Speaker 1: try a deep over on Cohu without help and the
Speaker 1: design was actually really good. In the play, they flooded
Speaker 1: the opposite side of the formation, which pulled the safety
Speaker 1: help over. But Coho runs step firs step with the
Speaker 1: arm and because he has eyes back on the football,
Speaker 1: the contact between the two is perfectly legal. He elevates
Speaker 1: and goes and gets it. What a year for the
Speaker 1: rookie cornerback. Play number eight another player who was awesome.
Speaker 1: His rookie year followed up with a scrap with a
Speaker 1: great second season. Javon Holland forts a potential winning drive
Speaker 1: in primetime football, Harris the running back pick it out
Speaker 1: of the shotgun, back to fire, Dolphins get it, Hollid
Speaker 1: with the interception, and that's all but do it. The
Speaker 1: Dolphins just didn't have to hang on to the football.
Speaker 1: Holland second interception of the year. Its Dolphins second interception tonight,
Speaker 1: and the narrator tells us that was not the end
Speaker 1: of the football game. But these third and long plays
Speaker 1: create opportunities, and this one is with Javon Holland playing
Speaker 1: at the sticks, can you pick it? Tries to dissect
Speaker 1: the zone coverage with Jerome Baker playing the deep curl
Speaker 1: at the perimeter, and what he does see is Javon
Speaker 1: Holland playing a robber roll to the same side. He
Speaker 1: steps right in front of the dig route of the receiver,
Speaker 1: then turns into a running back with a thirty plus
Speaker 1: yard run back play number seven. His best buddy making
Speaker 1: another play like he has all his career. Long in
Speaker 1: the Bay in San Francisco, the caffree They're running back,
Speaker 1: Dolphins got find guys on the line of scrimmage back
Speaker 1: to throw, gets it off and it's intercepted. I think yes,
Speaker 1: it is first of the year. X Man X had
Speaker 1: one pick the last time we played in San Francisco
Speaker 1: and twenty. He gets one here on a fourth down play,
Speaker 1: which ultimately cost Miami about twenty yards and phil position.
Speaker 1: But it was a great rep press man one on
Speaker 1: one to the boundary fourth and four Niners at the
Speaker 1: plus thirty nine yard line. First down. Here is field
Speaker 1: goal range maybe more no safety help. X notices the
Speaker 1: takeoff from that boundary side opens the hip hips, stabs
Speaker 1: the inside hand jam and does more than get into face.
Speaker 1: He gets on top of the route. Purdy gets immediate
Speaker 1: pressure from Holland on a blitz. The beauty of a
Speaker 1: player like X as you can take your help and
Speaker 1: turn it into a conversion pass rusher and speed things up.
Speaker 1: Credit pretty for understanding. You have to take a shot
Speaker 1: on fourth down one on one to the X. But
Speaker 1: there is the other X on the MIAVI Dolphins. He's there,
Speaker 1: makes the play for the big pick. Number six. Jalen
Speaker 1: Phillips gets his own ball production up in Buffalo. First
Speaker 1: the Bills from their own yard line, fourth Alan back
Speaker 1: to turn it out of the back beside. The ball
Speaker 1: comes out. Dolphins have it that Dolphins have the football.
Speaker 1: Christian Wilkins came up with a fundball. I believe it
Speaker 1: was Jalen Phillips with a sack from behind. Jimmy never
Speaker 1: saw it. He stepped up in the pocket. Jayleen Phillips
Speaker 1: came around, got another huge sack. Is seventh of the year.
Speaker 1: You've heard that play already on the top ten sacks list.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and go next another play. You've already
Speaker 1: heard the season opening strip sack and scoop and score
Speaker 1: from Brandon Jones and Melvin Ingram. I guess the Patriots
Speaker 1: Week one. Let's go to Jimmy and Joe Javante Parker
Speaker 1: in motion back the throll plits coming. They got him.
Speaker 1: The balls out touched out Miami. Ingram picked it up
Speaker 1: on the bounce blind side of the end zone. He
Speaker 1: never saw it on the blind side, went to throw
Speaker 1: the ball. Dolphins were bringing the heat and that was
Speaker 1: the second turnover of the game. The first on the
Speaker 1: opening drive of the game from Javon Holland Harrison running
Speaker 1: back back Jones, Zach, he's changing the play back to
Speaker 1: throw looking looking, gets it off bound Phil and it's
Speaker 1: stop the way there by Holland. Holland down the sideline,
Speaker 1: took it in the end zone, the cut of a
Speaker 1: cross field taking down. What a nice play. The ball
Speaker 1: is tipped up into the air and Holland is Damian
Speaker 1: Howard knocked it up into the air. Holland gets his
Speaker 1: person Reception of the year. He wanted the pot day
Speaker 1: Parker on them. That was way nice. The xaving Howard
Speaker 1: do what he used to to DeVante Parker every day
Speaker 1: in training camp practice. In a railer season game, he
Speaker 1: just vintage X right there, man coverage one on one
Speaker 1: for all the all. The Marble's deep shot into the
Speaker 1: end zone uses the physicality and length to pin Parker
Speaker 1: to the perimeter, gives the quarterback no window to shoot for.
Speaker 1: Makes the play you'd expect from a receiver on the football,
Speaker 1: punches it right back into danger. And because Javon Holland,
Speaker 1: as we talked about on his pick in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: because he runs of the football, he gets over there
Speaker 1: and turns the first possession of the season into a takeaway.
Speaker 1: The next one, number three is Eric Rowe making a
Speaker 1: play to absolutely route to the Houston Texans a third
Speaker 1: down in ninety back of the Texans, a letter yard
Speaker 1: Locke back to throw off. He's got pickens football picked
Speaker 1: up by the Dolphinson walks into the end zone. That's
Speaker 1: style Miami by far my favorite hit of the season.
Speaker 1: You get interior pressure from Christian Wilkins off the snap,
Speaker 1: forces Kyle Allen to check the football down. Kator co
Speaker 1: who comes in, stands up Aikins and once again run
Speaker 1: to the football. Eric Rowe arrives like a ton of bricks.
Speaker 1: The ball falls right in front of xaviing Howard and
Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram leads the convoy into the end zone as
Speaker 1: the Dolphins celebrate a defensive touchdown and take a commanding
Speaker 1: to nothing first half lead from Again. It was a
Speaker 1: blowout to a game that was tight back and forth.
Speaker 1: The last one of the year. Eric Rowe once again,
Speaker 1: this time Zach s Heeler scoops it to put Miami
Speaker 1: ahead in the playoffs for the first time in a
Speaker 1: long time. Singletary, they're running backs that motion back today
Speaker 1: probably football. It's out of the crowd. The Dolphins are
Speaker 1: gonna pick up believable. Jailett Phillips touchdown. It was awful
Speaker 1: blitz from me outside. He never saw Row coming. Hold on,
Speaker 1: let's see who want not with this football first crossed
Speaker 1: the goal one. There were two Dolphins, Pote and Phillips.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna remember that play for a long time because
Speaker 1: again no one giving the Dolphins a chance, myself included.
Speaker 1: They produced a defensive score to take a second half
Speaker 1: lead in the playoff game. The last time you saw
Speaker 1: that was twenty two years ago, two thousand, making the
Speaker 1: moment even more special. The combination of the blitz with
Speaker 1: coverage forces Alan to tuck the football, and it's impressive
Speaker 1: enough just to get that guy to the ground on
Speaker 1: your own. But as Alan is trying to wriggle Free,
Speaker 1: Eric Rowe rakes at the football, gets it out and
Speaker 1: Zach Seiler, as we talked about all year, eyes on
Speaker 1: the football, eyes and the quarterback sees the ball jar
Speaker 1: Free goes and gets it and rumbles in two parts
Speaker 1: of this play that I love that are underrated is
Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips, who wasn't in the end zone. I don't
Speaker 1: know what Jimmy saw there. Uh does that thing that
Speaker 1: your big brother used to do to you where he
Speaker 1: just sits on you and you have to sit there
Speaker 1: and wait until he's done. He lays on Josh Allen
Speaker 1: to prevent him from getting the ball, and then from
Speaker 1: their Wilkins and Steiler landing on the ball in the
Speaker 1: end zone, and Wilkins being the big spoon on Steiler
Speaker 1: and cuddling and wrapping the legs around him like your
Speaker 1: brother would do when he wanted to piss you off.
Speaker 1: That celebration in the end zone. What a moment that was.
Speaker 1: Speaking of great moments, how about Noah egg Bonogamy our
Speaker 1: top play here selling victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers in
Speaker 1: primetime football. Pick it, I'm the shotgun back to throw,
Speaker 1: looking looking, rolling looking left, throws it down fields, intersected
Speaker 1: by get his look, Anna say no. And that was
Speaker 1: the other receipt. The other a fisher coming into say
Speaker 1: I did he didn't get him conversation either way. He
Speaker 1: just made a heck of a play. It will be
Speaker 1: if this and interception it stays one. He got him down,
Speaker 1: just made his biggest play. He's calls man. What a
Speaker 1: moment for Noah igbangany on a night where the offense
Speaker 1: is struggling. The piece together drives the defense is out
Speaker 1: there for one last stand to win the game, like
Speaker 1: three or four times. Second and two from and Andrew
Speaker 1: Van Ginkel pressure forces pick it off the spot. He
Speaker 1: could have ran, but he probably would have killed the
Speaker 1: entire clock. So he attacks the lion of scrimmage, and
Speaker 1: since the Steelers have no time outs, he can't do that.
Speaker 1: He tries to sneak one behind Noah who's locked up
Speaker 1: in man coverage on the outside with Deante Johnson. Was
Speaker 1: a good job getting his eyes back, finds the football,
Speaker 1: catches it, taps the toes. Game over. You can find
