Speaker 1: Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins.
Speaker 2: Now let me check your pulse if you're not far though.
Speaker 2: What is up? Dolphins?
Speaker 1: And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, part of the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield,
Speaker 1: And on today's show, a much more film to watch
Speaker 1: this time around. You guys know the drill, top five tapes,
Speaker 1: What worked offense and defense, recap individuals, big play breakdown,
Speaker 1: the snap counts, all of that and a heck of
Speaker 1: a lot more from the Baptist Health Studios inside the
Speaker 1: Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Draft Time Podcast.
Speaker 1: Yea week number fifteen in the books. Now just three
Speaker 1: to go. Let's go ahead and break down the dolphins
Speaker 1: thirty to nothing, comprehensive stopping of the New York Jets,
Speaker 1: and we start as we do with the big play breakdowns.
Speaker 1: I have three for you here. A record breaking touchdown run.
Speaker 1: This was one of my favorite plays of the season,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why, as it was a theme
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the football game. So third and
Speaker 1: goal at the two. The two previous runs have netted
Speaker 1: negative one yard the previous two plays. You're seeing a
Speaker 1: pass in that situation, you know, without actually running any
Speaker 1: numbers what ninety percent of the time, like most coaches
Speaker 1: aren't going back to the well the third time.
Speaker 2: But the best part of it was the design.
Speaker 1: It was akin to the Chase Edmunds run in Baltimore
Speaker 1: last year right before the game winner. Remember that like
Speaker 1: twenty eight yard run he had in the game winning drive.
Speaker 1: They're playing their typical man coverage down on low red zone.
Speaker 1: Most defenses do so. When Cedric Wilson motions to the field,
Speaker 1: you get rotation from the defense. One of those rotating
Speaker 1: parts is the force defender. The force defender is your
Speaker 1: furthest width defender who is responsible for containing the edge
Speaker 1: and funneling things back inside to your help. They remove
Speaker 1: that defender. Every defense that's ever been structured has a
Speaker 1: force defender against the run. That's how you drop your
Speaker 1: run fits. If you don't have that, you're gonna lose
Speaker 1: contain outside. You're gonna get up explosive plays or in
Speaker 1: this case, touchdown. And the offensive line flows that way
Speaker 1: with stretch action. So everything is telling you the balls
Speaker 1: going to the right side, except that's not how McDaniel's
Speaker 1: run game is designed.
Speaker 2: There's always more than what meets.
Speaker 1: The initial eye. That's why Max Crosby told him after
Speaker 1: the game, Dude, it's hell getting ready for you guys.
Speaker 1: It's tough to game plan for you guys and get
Speaker 1: ready for what you're gonna do offensively, because on this
Speaker 1: play you get double guard counter, which means both guards
Speaker 1: pull out to the backside. Lester Cotton and Rob Jones
Speaker 1: both hit critical seals, and those blocks are really accomplished
Speaker 1: because of the design of the left tackle and the
Speaker 1: tight end who are further left of those guys working
Speaker 1: down blocks to the right, and because of their flow
Speaker 1: that direction. You see those perimeter edge, those perimeter Jets defenders,
Speaker 1: they take one false step inside and that was all
Speaker 1: Lester and all Big Rob needed to get on the
Speaker 1: outside shoulder pad to get their butts flipped around. Turn
Speaker 1: those pads inside, seal it off, and it's a walk
Speaker 1: in cruise in Cruising USA. Raheem moster down run seventeenth
Speaker 1: of the year, nineteenth total. Both of those are Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins records. The next big play is a deep shot
Speaker 1: from two A Tonguaailoa to Jalen Waddle on the fly by.
Speaker 1: It's so impressive how we get these deep connections often
Speaker 1: against coverage with just two man route combos. There's always
Speaker 1: a checkdown option of a release valve a running back
Speaker 1: of some sort, but typically it's Tyreek and Waddle executing
Speaker 1: a two man route combo to get the shot. Places
Speaker 1: for this offense an all game long, the Dolphins were
Speaker 1: helping with some max protect situation and it's a big
Speaker 1: reason why the offense was so efficient in this one,
Speaker 1: but never more so than on this one. I believe
Speaker 1: it's quarter quarter half aka quarter six, which is one
Speaker 1: deep defender has a half of the field. The other
Speaker 1: two defenders have quarters, So three defenders take up the
Speaker 1: entire deep umbrella of the defense, and DJ Reid, the
Speaker 1: Jets cornerback, is the quarter to the boundary the short
Speaker 1: side of the field. Then you have two high safeties
Speaker 1: and at the pre snap motion that widens those safeties,
Speaker 1: you see them shift to go along with them back
Speaker 1: to the field the wide side of the field, and
Speaker 1: that declares that DJ Reed now has to run vertical
Speaker 1: alone with Jalen Waddle, and this offense, if you get
Speaker 1: one player running vertical without safety help, on waddle Tyreek.
Speaker 1: That's probably where the ball should go. The protection's awesome
Speaker 1: because you have doubles on both Quinn Williams and Quinton
Speaker 1: Jefferson inside Liam and Lester and Rob and Austin both
Speaker 1: create this perfect pocket. And this is where you love
Speaker 1: having a player of tarn Armstead's caliber because he just
Speaker 1: shuts down one of their best pass rushers, Bryce Huff.
Speaker 2: Just take care of it.
Speaker 1: One v one will double up everybody else and just
Speaker 1: take out their best pass rusher with your best pass protector.
Speaker 1: Then durham smythe has help from alec Ingold on Jermaine Johnson,
Speaker 1: but guess what, didn't even need it because he shut
Speaker 1: the rep down. And news flash, if you're tight end
Speaker 1: shutting down an edge rusher, it's gonna be a long
Speaker 1: day for you. He destroyed Johnson on that play and
Speaker 1: then two aids in it getting that single coverage declaration
Speaker 1: by holding the quarter safety.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be a lot. So hang with me.
Speaker 1: The quarter safety who's possibly going to help impact Wattle's
Speaker 1: route with a front side crossing route from Chosen. So
Speaker 1: Wattle's going vertical to the left, Chosen's running the crossing
Speaker 1: route from the right coming left, and he occupies that
Speaker 1: other safety who could potentially get depth and peel out
Speaker 1: of his quarter coverage and just went back to the
Speaker 1: deep portion of the field and try to help because
Speaker 1: Reid got smoked. But that's not what happened, because Tua
Speaker 1: locks onto that safety before he pumps the ball deep,
Speaker 1: and that makes him kind of has some indecision. I
Speaker 1: better go buzz this crossing route. Now I can't help
Speaker 1: on Wattle, and then it's up to Jaylen. Waddle comes
Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmage against this off coverage, which
Speaker 1: is typical for cover six. I thought Jets fans complaining
Speaker 1: about their coverage, like, you don't want to press these
Speaker 1: guys too much, because if you lose the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: it's over quickly. At least an off coverage you can
Speaker 1: have a chance to kind of, you know, rotate and
Speaker 1: help and double. But he comes off the line wattle
Speaker 1: like the red Bull racing car. And quite frankly, I
Speaker 1: don't think I've seen another person on the planet that
Speaker 1: can run this route. He might be the only guy.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's out there. I just probably haven't watched
Speaker 1: all the tape of the National Football League to see
Speaker 1: it like I'm not grinding Jamar Chase tape every week.
Speaker 2: You'll sue me.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that Tyreek has this in his
Speaker 1: bag because he's a shorter strider.
Speaker 2: And I'll explain it to you.
Speaker 1: So Jalen is at full speed and he takes this
Speaker 1: widening step, which you know receivers there're steps and how
Speaker 1: they stab.
Speaker 2: A stab is a.
Speaker 1: Term that receivers use in terms of like selling the
Speaker 1: direction they want to run. A stab step is kind
Speaker 1: of a fake. He sells this stab step inside that
Speaker 1: widens dj reed. It breaks him down. He goes from
Speaker 1: pedaling backwards and his feet flattened. For just a second,
Speaker 1: you can see him and that's when panic sets in
Speaker 1: because he knows, oh, that wasn't an inside move. That
Speaker 1: was a move to goal vertical. But the next step
Speaker 1: that Wattle takes is why he's full blown alien with
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's not that's not an on balance platform
Speaker 1: like you're They tell you to keep your feet under
Speaker 1: your shoulders in football, right, That's how you stay with
Speaker 1: your balance as best as you possibly can. That's not
Speaker 1: what he's doing here. But because he's an alien, he
Speaker 1: can drive off that stab step and accelerate through it
Speaker 1: where most guys have to dec and then it just
Speaker 1: gets even better because first Tua throws the ball down
Speaker 1: there in a spot like you would see one of
Speaker 1: the master chefs on chopped presenting their dishes to the chefs,
Speaker 1: like look at what I made with reduced vinegarrette made
Speaker 1: out of chopped tofu like it's on a silver platter.
Speaker 1: Couldn't be put out there any better. But Wattle has
Speaker 1: more work to do, and he stacks. DJ reed, what
Speaker 1: does stacking mean? So when you get past the defender,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're side by side with them, you
Speaker 1: want to make sure you get on top of them
Speaker 1: and put them on your back because then they have
Speaker 1: to play through you to the football. They can't run
Speaker 1: their full acceleration because they might tangle their feet and
Speaker 1: get a DPI like stacking the dB. It's taught across
Speaker 1: the entire football, you know, cognacenti as it were, to
Speaker 1: do that, and he does it here perfectly, and it
Speaker 1: allows him to adjust in flight to the ball because
Speaker 1: the ball kind of goes down the numbers, which is
Speaker 1: where two typically throws these deep shots, and Wattle's wider
Speaker 1: than that, but because he stacked read, he has more
Speaker 1: time to adjust runs right through it. I think it's
Speaker 1: my favorite touchdown of the entire season. Impressive, impressive stuff
Speaker 1: all the way around our third final big play. And
Speaker 1: I only use one of the takeaways here because the
Speaker 1: two picks late in the game, those were like it
Speaker 1: was over already, so you know, cool, and they were.
Speaker 1: They were kind of just pop flies that you know,
Speaker 1: sit me and through either way, Zach Steeler almost scores again.
Speaker 1: So there were some coverage sacks in this game, this
Speaker 1: was not one of them. In fact, Garrett Wilson got
Speaker 1: free on a drag route from mesh, which is two
Speaker 1: drag routes on opposite sides of the formation that come
Speaker 1: across the middle of the field and tries to create
Speaker 1: a natural rub on your linebacker or man cut corners
Speaker 1: depending on mannor zone.
Speaker 2: It's a very common man beater across.
Speaker 1: All levels of football. But before Wilson even cleared the
Speaker 1: hook defender, because you have two guys covering in man
Speaker 1: chasing those guys, but there also is a hook defender
Speaker 1: playing a zone in that defense, Wilson was already spinning
Speaker 1: out of danger from the pass rush, so it was open,
Speaker 1: but the pass rush defeated their offensive line to prevent
Speaker 1: that option from being there for Zach Wilson. And that's
Speaker 1: because Christian Wilkins wins from the one shade like immediately,
Speaker 1: and you know, the a gap pressure is the worst
Speaker 1: pressure for a quarterback. It looked like a com unication
Speaker 1: breakdown for the Jets on the offensive line because the
Speaker 1: center is sliding out to help the guard, but there's
Speaker 1: no one there to help on it. So like they
Speaker 1: did that a lot, there's not very good. But Christian
Speaker 1: is able to recognize this and then rush half the
Speaker 1: man and just discards him quicker than I can discard
Speaker 1: my Thanksgiving key lin pie. And Zach Seeler gets cut
Speaker 1: by the running back, but his presence doesn't allow Wilson
Speaker 1: to step up into that portion of the pocket, though
Speaker 1: he probably wasn't going to anyway, because this quarterback never
Speaker 1: does that.
Speaker 2: That's why he can't play in this league.
Speaker 1: Instead of that, he does his little roll around where
Speaker 1: he tries to extend the play, gets wrangled by the
Speaker 1: ankle by Christian Wilkins, and then like you could have
Speaker 1: gotten to throw away off, but not so fast. Be friend,
Speaker 1: because number two smells blood in the water and with
Speaker 1: a burst of speed around the corner, just accelerates her
Speaker 1: right through. Wilson hits him mid throwing motion balls on
Speaker 1: the ground. Sealer never gives up the play, so he
Speaker 1: gets back to his feet and then scoops it up
Speaker 1: for a near score. That is how you play phenomenal
Speaker 1: team defense. Who big plays in the bag. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and do top five tapes right here before our
Speaker 1: first break. Number one is Bradley Chubb. It had to
Speaker 1: be a career day for him. It's always nice to
Speaker 1: thread a thought from training camp that sticks and rides
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the entire season. And I remember
Speaker 1: being so impressed by both be Chubb and JP's work
Speaker 1: in the perimeter running game because this offense is so
Speaker 1: good at it, but they made it challenging on the
Speaker 1: Dolphins because both Chubb and Phillips are so good and
Speaker 1: he's maintained that menacing level throughout the entire season.
Speaker 2: Just look at him standing over there, all menacingly, and.
Speaker 1: He has multiple tools in the bag to win against
Speaker 1: those looks. You pull a backside guard cool, He'll put
Speaker 1: a little hesitation crossover step and beat them with speed.
Speaker 1: Try it with a tight end a guy that's giving
Speaker 1: up forty pounds a chubb that ain't gonna work.
Speaker 2: He's a top five draft pick.
Speaker 1: He has the production and the athletic testing and the
Speaker 1: physical strength to go punch that dude in the mouth
Speaker 1: and win with brute force. Also, he just did so
Speaker 1: many things in this game. He'll hold the perimeter on
Speaker 1: handoffs where Wilson would like boot out, you know, after
Speaker 1: giving the ball to Dalvin Cook or Breese Hall, because
Speaker 1: you have to contain that edge. That's his role, so
Speaker 1: you can't see that guy. I mean, sometimes they'll do
Speaker 1: it where they just crash the end and you get
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson pulling the ball out zone read and going,
Speaker 1: you know, sixty yards down the field and Zach Wilson's
Speaker 1: not Lamar Jackson, but he can run, so you have
Speaker 1: to respect the boot action off of that. And then
Speaker 1: once he recognizes the ball has been handed off, just
Speaker 1: condense his inside and close that backside sea gap to
Speaker 1: cut down Dalvin Cook before you can even find that
Speaker 1: bend back lane, which, by the way, is anybody more washed.
Speaker 2: Than Dalvin Cook? My goodness, I can't.
Speaker 1: You can't watch that tape last year and tell me
Speaker 1: you thought you should have signed that player, like obvious,
Speaker 1: just like Devin White was deactive for the Bucks chest
Speaker 1: dam those healthy. Like I don't know, listen to guys
Speaker 1: that watch tape. I'm gonna have to ask Bradley Chubb
Speaker 1: this week. But I think his first full sack that
Speaker 1: he had in the game where he just destroyed Mackay
Speaker 1: Beckton inside the b gap is because I think he
Speaker 1: read that out real time, Like Benden winds up over
Speaker 1: setting and getting more depth than he should have, and
Speaker 1: Chubb just goes into a little breakdown chop step and
Speaker 1: he sees that opening on the inside. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: give a pass rusher of the inside lane, they're gonna
Speaker 1: take it every time. And he gets in there with
Speaker 1: an aggressive step pair with an arm over that just
Speaker 1: makes him unblockable for Becton, and he's literally passed him
Speaker 1: before Wilson's even got his eyes back to the defense
Speaker 1: because he's still executing a play action fake and he
Speaker 1: still got his back to the defense. Just shuts it
Speaker 1: down from the word go. That's like it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: what everybody else in the field does. Bradley Chubb won
Speaker 1: that play by himself for a big loss. That's the
Speaker 1: kind of stuff that like superstars do. Man seven pressures
Speaker 1: led the team, six stops, also led the team, three sacks,
Speaker 1: two forced fumbles. He might play the rest of his
Speaker 1: life and never have a game that good again, because
Speaker 1: that's tough to do. My second top tape is Jalen Waddell.
Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about when I say the
Speaker 1: tape has been good for him all year. Yes, there
Speaker 1: are drops, and he had one in this game that
Speaker 1: you can point to, but the guy's always open, and
Speaker 1: you saw this game the ball coming his way. Finally
Speaker 1: when he did get open, finally, his plays syncd up
Speaker 1: with the timing of the offense and its breakout performance
Speaker 1: where he had one hundred and forty two yards, But honestly,
Speaker 1: that's probably a lot closer to two hundred if we
Speaker 1: didn't have to grind the game down to a halt,
Speaker 1: if the Jets could have scored a couple of touchdowns
Speaker 1: and kept the game close, and you have to keep
Speaker 1: going through the air. Waddle probably has two bills in
Speaker 1: this game, but the details of his routes, even on
Speaker 1: plays where he's not even in the progression, and you know,
Speaker 1: I can't know for sure that he's not part of
Speaker 1: the progression, but like there was a throw to eight
Speaker 1: Chen in the flat hot where it clearly was not
Speaker 1: going to him but to to Waddle. But his goal
Speaker 1: on this play, because you're running double slants to create
Speaker 1: this window to the flat, is to you have to
Speaker 1: sell the cornerback that you're going to win that inside
Speaker 1: access and it creates the lane with this little starter steps,
Speaker 1: stab outside cross face, and flip your man's hips. Once
Speaker 1: you get the hips flipped, that's when you know that
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an easy conversion because of the way
Speaker 1: the offense is designed, and for Wattle, it's just constant.
Speaker 1: He blocks this way, he runs his routes this way,
Speaker 1: he cheers on his teammates this way. He catches a
Speaker 1: dig later in the game where he sort of slow
Speaker 1: plays the release and this is like the nuance of
Speaker 1: his game that people just don't appreciate. Both he and
Speaker 1: Tyreek have this in their game and it's not appreciated enough,
Speaker 1: I don't think. But he slow plays the release and
Speaker 1: then when he sees Tua separate the hands and that
Speaker 1: thing happens fast right to rip the anticipation throw, it's
Speaker 1: like put the pedal on the floor.
Speaker 2: Was that loud?
Speaker 1: And go? Like he accelerates through the apex angle back
Speaker 1: to the football, which is third year player, Like, that's great, man,
Speaker 1: pluck it. And then it's like a good driver using
Speaker 1: the on ramp to get up to speed. Right.
Speaker 2: You know that driver that's going forty five on the
Speaker 2: on ramp.
Speaker 1: And you're like, go, we have to be going twenty
Speaker 1: five miles an hour faster in the next fifteen feet,
Speaker 1: otherwise we're gonna be blocking up traffic. We merge and
Speaker 1: we're already at top speed because we're a good driver.
Speaker 1: That's Jalen Waddle. He probably drives these streets in South Florida,
Speaker 1: which are dangerous, very very well. Eight catches, one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty two yards, one touchdown, nine targets. That's good
Speaker 1: for fifteen point seven per target. That's good for five
Speaker 1: point nine two yards per route ram. Those are both
Speaker 1: season highs for Jalen Waddle seventy one yards, but it
Speaker 1: came after the catch. That's eight point nine yards after
Speaker 1: the catch per catch. It feels like Wattle is about
Speaker 1: to take off. Let's go ahead and take off. Ourselves
Speaker 1: for our first break right here. Come back on the
Speaker 1: other side and do the next three through five top tapes.
Speaker 1: We'll do offense and defense and snapcounts, all of that
Speaker 1: ahead Drivetime Podcast your host Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 2: We are brought to you by Auto Nation. Our top
Speaker 2: two tapes went to Jalen Wattle and Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 1: Our third top tape from the Dolphins thirty to Nothing
Speaker 1: beat down of the Airplanes is Christian Wilkins. The way
Speaker 1: that this guy, I mean, everything he does is impressive,
Speaker 1: with the way he rides the flow on outside zone,
Speaker 1: the way he you know, gets back over a block
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't be able to power, strength, quickness, smarts, intelligence, leadership, conditioning.
Speaker 1: He's everything you want in a football player. But also
Speaker 1: what I noticed in this game the way that he
Speaker 1: adjusts to players leverage in real time. Kind of like
Speaker 1: I talked about with Bradley Chubb's pass rush on Makai
Speaker 1: Beckton for the sack. It's cool to watch it play
Speaker 1: out like that because, like there's a situation in the
Speaker 1: game where he's the pick man on a stunt that's
Speaker 1: designed to get seeler from that five technique to wrap
Speaker 1: off of his butt inside to loop around for that
Speaker 1: you know, free run on the quarterback. And as soon
Speaker 1: as the center the inside man starts to peel off
Speaker 1: inside to go pick up Zach Christian like like almost
Speaker 1: like they're attached, like if he pulls this way, Christian
Speaker 1: feels the rope pull and so he inherently knows I'm
Speaker 1: immediately gonna work my momentum back into that man, because
Speaker 1: not only will it collapse him and prevent him from
Speaker 1: helping on the on picking up Zack Seeler, but it
Speaker 1: also allows Zach or rather Christian, I should say, to
Speaker 1: further penetrate the pocket and split those two offensive linemen
Speaker 1: and go get the quarterback. He was, as always fantastic.
Speaker 1: This is the best year of his career, better than himself,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna pay off for him. Five pressures, one
Speaker 1: stop in the game for Christian Wilkins. My fourth best
Speaker 1: tape strap in because it's too a tongue of by
Speaker 1: Loa and I have a lot to say about our
Speaker 1: quarterback here. So the release and anticipation somehow has gotten better.
Speaker 1: I counted a handful of throws where he's throwing into
Speaker 1: a triangle or a window of defenders where he's banking
Speaker 1: solely on the fact that their current leverage will remove
Speaker 1: them from the equation and the space that he's trying
Speaker 1: to throw the football into. And it's not just those
Speaker 1: quick short shots over the middle like the fourth down conversion,
Speaker 1: the play where Waddle got hurt on the first drive.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a throw that travels twenty five
Speaker 1: yards in the air with the safety on top of Wattle,
Speaker 1: a cloud corner whose zone reading Tua is zone dropping
Speaker 1: Tua with his eyes on the quarterback pressing inside, and
Speaker 1: the hook linebacker, which is not what they usually are,
Speaker 1: but against this offense, is fifteen yards of depth. Typically
Speaker 1: they're more in the ten twelve range, but against this offense,
Speaker 1: you gotta get more depth. So the skill to throw
Speaker 1: that ball into that pocket with anticipation and the layering
Speaker 1: because it he throws it with like a hump where
Speaker 1: it gets up over that first level and then just
Speaker 1: dives down into Waddle into the pocket like that.
Speaker 2: That's spin rate.
Speaker 1: That's a big hand that's generating force on the ball sideway,
Speaker 1: so it can have that little hump move like go
Speaker 1: throw a football. There's different ways to manipulate the way
Speaker 1: the football flies through the air to a tongue of
Speaker 1: Ioa is one of the best in the world doing that.
Speaker 1: Talk about all the traits you want. I want these
Speaker 1: things combined from my quarterback.
Speaker 2: What was a surprise?
Speaker 1: He's playing great football because he has those traits, crazy thought,
Speaker 1: and I thought that he had two misses on the day.
Speaker 1: There was a drop pick, which I at first thought
Speaker 1: was not that bad, but it was pretty bad. Although
Speaker 1: I will say Cedric Wilson came out of the break
Speaker 1: very slowly and rounded it off and like, there's no
Speaker 1: way a linebacker should be able to read that and
Speaker 1: judge it and jump that play like that. I got
Speaker 1: it when Brandon Eckles did the last time around, because
Speaker 1: he's a slot cornerback and Toua was late on the read.
Speaker 1: I thought this was more of the receiver kind of
Speaker 1: kind of running a half assed route of being honest,
Speaker 1: but still to a put the ball right in the
Speaker 1: hands of the defender. Luckily he drops it. And then
Speaker 1: there was a screen dump off on the opening drive.
Speaker 1: It's second nineteen, after the holding call, right after the
Speaker 1: big shot downfield to Waddle. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: recall that, but it's second nineteen and Raheem runs that
Speaker 1: little Texas screen right, the little angle route back inside
Speaker 1: that we had with success with Devon h Chan recently
Speaker 1: or earlier in the year, I should say, and Raheem
Speaker 1: has a blocker right in front of him in green
Speaker 1: grass in front, but he has to pivot and reach
Speaker 1: back and catch it one handed, which slows him down
Speaker 1: and that allows the pursuit to catch up. But that
Speaker 1: was it. Those two throws I thought were the only
Speaker 1: bad players by two in the entire game, because he
Speaker 1: was incomplete control of us one man. Like we had
Speaker 1: good spacing by design offensively, but this quarterback really accentuates
Speaker 1: your ability to maintain that space in the football field.
Speaker 1: Like he can start to the one to the boundary
Speaker 1: short side of the field right furthest out receiver, the
Speaker 1: one furthest out boundary short side, come off that and
Speaker 1: go all the way back to the field side to
Speaker 1: the one the furthest receiver that way, so the entire
Speaker 1: formation to watch the hook zone, the middle linebacker who's
Speaker 1: ultimately influencing your next read right, you have to find
Speaker 1: ways to move those guys so he can start a
Speaker 1: boundary one, go back field one and then shoot the
Speaker 1: ball into a gap in the hook zone to durham
Speaker 1: smythe where there's a linebacker on either hashmark and Durham's
Speaker 1: just chilling in the middle. The hash marks are like
Speaker 1: seven yards apart in the NFL or something like that.
Speaker 1: Like that's not a wind, that's not a very big
Speaker 1: window at all. Like to it creates it, though, And
Speaker 1: the reason the hookbacker is false stepping here and not
Speaker 1: driving across that and picking it off just like you
Speaker 1: saw happen to Lamar Jackson on Sunday Night Football, is
Speaker 1: because Tue knows where Durham is and how to throw
Speaker 1: it to him accurately, despite the fact that he's never
Speaker 1: looking at him. He just knows he's there, and he's
Speaker 1: throwing off of timing and rep and feel as in
Speaker 1: my helmet stripe is to the field to a flag
Speaker 1: route to the corner towards the pylon. But the minute
Speaker 1: my eyes come back to the hook, the throwing motion's
Speaker 1: already started. It's already going. He plays as fast as
Speaker 1: his mind operates. And if you can understand that, you
Speaker 1: can understand what.
Speaker 2: Makes to an elite quarterback.
Speaker 1: We heard McDaniel praise to it for taking some sacks,
Speaker 1: the first one, the third and three. Everything was bracketed,
Speaker 1: and I'm with coach. Any of those targets are a
Speaker 1: risk of a turnover. Sometimes the defense just wins and
Speaker 1: you have to tip your cap to those guys. Some
Speaker 1: drives will end in punts. But with how good and
Speaker 1: efficient this quarterback is, if we just don't force those
Speaker 1: types of throws and accept that flipping the field opposed
Speaker 1: to a turnover in those spots, with the way this
Speaker 1: defense is playing, you're gonna be tough to beat. If
Speaker 1: this team doesn't turn the ball over, they will, They'll win.
Speaker 1: I don't care anything else. If they don't turn the
Speaker 1: ball over in a game, they're gonna beat you. That's
Speaker 1: how I feel about this team. And the turn game
Speaker 1: manager has this negative connotation to it for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: But in this sense, managing the game and knowing those factors,
Speaker 1: good defense, struggling offense, field position, scoreboard, time of the game,
Speaker 1: that stuff is part of being a good quarterback, narratives
Speaker 1: or not. And so while he's doing that, he's also
Speaker 1: incredibly decisive. I don't think there's a good defense for
Speaker 1: him when he is the decisive. He averaged a career
Speaker 1: low two point oh eight seconds snapped throw. Even the
Speaker 1: best pass prussher are gonna get to the quarterback in
Speaker 1: two point eight seconds, maybe twice a game.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe there's back to back throws.
Speaker 1: In the last touchdown driver of the first half one
Speaker 1: a wattle drop, And I noted that because it was
Speaker 1: such unique footwork that just speaks more to as prowess
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. He takes the path of the running
Speaker 1: back like he chases the running back down like a draw,
Speaker 1: like like where you go get the draw and put
Speaker 1: it in their belly pose of the running back running
Speaker 1: up to you right. And then after the fake, he
Speaker 1: has to flip his feet all the way around because
Speaker 1: he's aligned to the formation like a right handed quarterback.
Speaker 1: And as he does all this, the throwing motion is
Speaker 1: already beginning. He plays as fast as he thinks. The
Speaker 1: whole reason the window for this throw is open against
Speaker 1: the off coverage is that Tua's footwork and some false
Speaker 1: polls from the offensive line, mostly Tua. It sucks that
Speaker 1: second level up and creates that window. These are the
Speaker 1: small things that people that dog in this quarterback just
Speaker 1: are not capable of knowing.
Speaker 2: It's that simple.
Speaker 1: The next one is the Braxton Burials conversion, that little
Speaker 1: corner route on third down. It's a true drop back
Speaker 1: on third and six with a blitz, so a fifth
Speaker 1: man comes and Smyth and Barrios are on a stack
Speaker 1: to the field, which is essentially so they're lined up
Speaker 1: right next to each other to kind of create confusion
Speaker 1: for the split for the defense. And it's essentially a
Speaker 1: smash concept, which is a corner route and a little
Speaker 1: square in or a hitch something to pull a defender
Speaker 1: inside to create outside access for this throw. And since
Speaker 1: Burrios is the receiver with a defensive back in man coverage,
Speaker 1: you know the receiver is the first to react because
Speaker 1: the DB's reacting to the receiver, not the quarterback like
Speaker 1: he would in zone, so it requires an insane amount
Speaker 1: of anticipation. He throws the football high in a way.
Speaker 1: It's perfect quarterback play.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: You can't defend that. The fourth down conversion is also
Speaker 1: perfect quarterback play. The Jets run a game to the
Speaker 1: weak side. A te stunt to tackle goes outside, the
Speaker 1: end goes inside for pressure on the quarterback. That looping
Speaker 1: end has a free run down the pipe right in
Speaker 1: tuoas face just like we had again, Zach Wilson all
Speaker 1: game long.
Speaker 2: But Tua has the ball out and I clocked it.
Speaker 1: I got one at one point nine to three and
Speaker 1: one at one point nine to five, So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: call it one point nine four seconds. That's not enough
Speaker 1: time to execute a stunt. It's not enough time to
Speaker 1: beat your man one on one. It's barely enough time
Speaker 1: to win off the edge and just run straight to
Speaker 1: the quarterback when they forget to block you. But now
Speaker 1: what Tua has to do is to protect himself. So
Speaker 1: he speeds up his throwing motion and turning into a
Speaker 1: little flick of the wrist where he drops the arm
Speaker 1: angled down to three quarters and he becomes more rist
Speaker 1: action opposed to a full wind up throw, because the
Speaker 1: wrist action is a quicker little dart throw opposed to
Speaker 1: a baseball pitch right, So he squares up his feet
Speaker 1: so he can absorb the shove. The defensive lineman loves
Speaker 1: to give a quarterback like ball out. Shove him right,
Speaker 1: hit him, make him feel you. The ball is out
Speaker 1: before Waddle clears. The hook meets him directly between two defenders,
Speaker 1: and the hit doesn't even put us on the ground
Speaker 1: because we are in a position to brace for that
Speaker 1: contact money. This is where I think his game has
Speaker 1: really gone to the next level, whether it's creating on
Speaker 1: the move or just speeding things up another notch. He's
Speaker 1: playing faster than the defense can. In all but like
Speaker 1: three games this season, on twenty plus airyard throws, he
Speaker 1: was one for one with sixty yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: The wattle shot, on ten plus airyard throws, he was
Speaker 1: four for five with one hundred and sixteen yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown blitz he was three for three thirty three yards.
Speaker 1: When he was pressured, he was four for five with
Speaker 1: forty eight yards and three sacks. So that did get
Speaker 1: him a little bit, but that was about it. Great
Speaker 1: game to a fourth best tape of the Week Number
Speaker 1: five tape is Durham Smyth. He made a couple of
Speaker 1: tough catches where he takes a big hit, but the
Speaker 1: real reason that he's in here is for how he
Speaker 1: whipped the Jets in the running game. And Mike McDaniel
Speaker 1: on Monday called him the consummate Miami dolphin because the
Speaker 1: way he doesn't care how he gets to the winner circle.
Speaker 1: He just wants to get you to the winner circle.
Speaker 1: He's got a handful of reps in this game where
Speaker 1: he chips the edge that either helps Austin or Tehran
Speaker 1: to position themselves to finish off the block. Then he
Speaker 1: climbs up to the will or the strong safety to
Speaker 1: just the green on their jersey disappears off the screen
Speaker 1: because all you see is the white jersey with an
Speaker 1: Aqua eighty one swallowing up that entire block. The perimeter
Speaker 1: seal on both raeheem touchdowns, go look at any explosive
Speaker 1: runs off the edge. Typically Durham's the guy making a
Speaker 1: key block. The reason I'm going with Durham here over
Speaker 1: some of the guys who had gaudy stat lines is
Speaker 1: that I think the key to beating the Jets defense
Speaker 1: is to dominate the edge, and he is the biggest
Speaker 1: reason we did that in this game and back in
Speaker 1: week twelve. Honestly, it was impossible this week any of
Speaker 1: the honorable mentioned guys could be top five here, Like
Speaker 1: Zach's Eiler belongs in there, Jalen Ramsey belongs in there,
Speaker 1: David Long belongs in there. To Ron Arms, it might
Speaker 1: have had the best tape of anybody in the entire
Speaker 1: game of him being honest, fantastic, fantastic stuff. Durham had
Speaker 1: four targets thirty two yards eight. That's eight yards per
Speaker 1: target in one point six eight yards per out ran.
Speaker 1: Those are both season highs for durham smyth, let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and knock out the offensive notes here before the
Speaker 1: last break and just real quick, you guys want that
Speaker 1: play that I think everyone doesn't like right now. It's
Speaker 1: a little fake hand off to a dummy back, like
Speaker 1: no running back there, and then the backside flip. I
Speaker 1: feel like something is coming off of that. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and put a bold prediction out there
Speaker 1: right now. Cowboys game playoffs of cover three that could
Speaker 1: kind of open up a deep post route because of
Speaker 1: the way it influences that middlefield safety.
Speaker 2: Just keep an eye on that.
Speaker 1: I thought there were so many well conceived, schemed up
Speaker 1: wins for the Dolphins in this one, like making life
Speaker 1: easy on your offense when you can do that right,
Speaker 1: And it worked with synergy because all the quick game
Speaker 1: had the defensive line second guessing their approach aggressively. They
Speaker 1: want to get up upfield, downhill and come after the
Speaker 1: quarterback we're just a good matchup for that defense man.
Speaker 1: Like we've seen it in both games this year and
Speaker 1: even both games last year, particularly the first game when
Speaker 1: Raheem most it was rolling in that one. But we
Speaker 1: exploit their areas of vulnerability, the vulnerability that their style presents,
Speaker 1: like it's very much jizz of what we do strong.
Speaker 1: We hit a Chan on a flat to Converty a
Speaker 1: third down early in the game, and you can just
Speaker 1: see that's one place that's where the ball's going the
Speaker 1: whole way. But it's a clear winner, priestnot because Chan
Speaker 1: motions to the side of the field, chased by a
Speaker 1: linebacker who's already three yards out flank, you're not gonna
Speaker 1: catch him right there. The best part about to me,
Speaker 1: your playside receiver have to run convincing routes and both
Speaker 1: waddle we we talked about earlier and Krai Craft both
Speaker 1: get their guys to flip their hips inside to sell
Speaker 1: the inside access. Really really really good game plan and
Speaker 1: it's just what you want to see. One week, actually
Speaker 1: talked about the Titans in the same way because we
Speaker 1: got out coached in that game. Now that said, I
Speaker 1: will give you guys this disclaimer. I think there are
Speaker 1: clear deficiencies that you're gonna have to deal with the
Speaker 1: rest of the way, Like on the interior offensive line,
Speaker 1: there's too many power moves whe Quinn Williams, Chucks Liam
Speaker 1: or Lester or they overrun blocks the second level Like
Speaker 1: it's a problem, but it's a problem that we can
Speaker 1: survive as long as we stay as we are now.
Speaker 1: But the alternative, like guys off the street, I just
Speaker 1: don't know about that, So we'll be fine, But you
Speaker 1: have to elevate other areas of your football team when
Speaker 1: guys go down like Tua did and like Waddle did
Speaker 1: and Robert Hunt being back will be huge there as well.
Speaker 1: As far as the eligibles. Jeff Wilson's the first.
Speaker 2: One that I know here because what a teammate he is.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: He jumped into the role that we saw.
Speaker 1: Chris Brooks play a little bit earlier this year, where
Speaker 1: he's whamming the edge from those nasty alignments. You know,
Speaker 1: an extra blocker as an eligible is nice to have.
Speaker 1: I also want to add River Craycraft for that because
Speaker 1: he blocks every game.
Speaker 2: Awesome.
Speaker 1: Raheem short note here kind of feels like Rinse repeat
Speaker 1: because I just talk about it every week with the
Speaker 1: physicality with how he plays so frequently it's him in
Speaker 1: a lineback with the point of attack, and he approaches
Speaker 1: that thing with a linebacker's mentality. It's awesome to watch
Speaker 1: Julian Hill when he hits defensive backs. There's just a
Speaker 1: force to it that like, let's put it this way.
Speaker 1: I don't envy those guys at all.
Speaker 2: It must suck. He's a big dude.
Speaker 1: He also runs a lot of routes where they kind
Speaker 1: of re route him and he winds up working through
Speaker 1: it in a way that acts as like a rub route,
Speaker 1: so he's kind of like setting picks downfield. But he
Speaker 1: always knows how to get the hands up, so it's
Speaker 1: obvious that it's not offensive pass interference. It's a level
Speaker 1: of vetsavvy you wouldn't expect from rookie, but Julian Hill's
Speaker 1: been doing that all year long. I thought Braxon Barrios's
Speaker 1: toughness was on display all day long as a return man.
Speaker 1: That tough third down catch and in the running game
Speaker 1: might have been the best burials game I've gotten so far.
Speaker 1: And then you know, we talked about the perimeter game, right,
Speaker 1: so we ran the ball off tackle, both touchdowns were
Speaker 1: off tackle, and had forty five of the seventy seven
Speaker 1: rushing yards off tackle. How about this the perimeter passing
Speaker 1: game from two Tongue Bai Loa. He was six for
Speaker 1: eight with one hundred and twelve yards and a touchdown
Speaker 1: pass to one to fifty three passer rating. So he
Speaker 1: can't win without Tyreek and he can't throw the ball
Speaker 1: outside the numbers. Right, got any more brain busters offensive
Speaker 1: line that earlier miss I mentioned with Tua where he
Speaker 1: had Raheem on the angle route. Even if he throws
Speaker 1: a good ball there, Honestly, Liam misses a one to
Speaker 1: one blowpace. I think it's I don't know, if he
Speaker 1: attaches to the block there, it's probably a big play.
Speaker 1: But I think you saw a few examples in this game,
Speaker 1: like that play where you really missed Connor Williams. You
Speaker 1: just have to find another way to overcome that, right,
Speaker 1: Like coaches are problem solvers, that's a problem.
Speaker 2: Solve it.
Speaker 1: We just don't have the same unicorns on the interior
Speaker 1: that we once did, so what figure it out? But yeah,
Speaker 1: Liam and Lester overran so many blocks at the second level.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a difference between rushing for seventy seven
Speaker 1: yards and one hundred and fifty eight yards. Like the
Speaker 1: last game against this Jets teams, that's.
Speaker 2: How it goes.
Speaker 1: Man, it's rough, and for that matter, I thought Austin
Speaker 1: had probably his sloppiest game of the year. On the
Speaker 1: holding call, he tried to shorten the runway, but John
Speaker 1: Franklin Myers attacked it with the same ferocity to the
Speaker 1: aj has and it got him off balance. He also
Speaker 1: got him on the first and goal failed run before
Speaker 1: Raheem's first touchdown run. Liam got smoked by Quinn Williams.
Speaker 1: So there were some issues on tape, but I do
Speaker 1: think when Rob Hunt gets back it'll solve some of
Speaker 1: those issues and I would go Rob Jones at left guard.
Speaker 1: That's just me though, so that's how I would handle
Speaker 1: it when.
Speaker 2: He gets back. Speaking of Rob Jones, thought this was
Speaker 2: a really good game from him.
Speaker 1: There were so many pass pro reps where he was
Speaker 1: able to transfer the weight and kind of slide to
Speaker 1: stay right in front of his man, like really really
Speaker 1: good stuff. He also has a good feel for when
Speaker 1: he can get off a double team and go find work.
Speaker 1: I saw one rep where he's holding Liam's outside post,
Speaker 1: and then he turns his head back to see Austin
Speaker 1: who's trying to deal with a guy crossing inside his face.
Speaker 1: So he leaves Liam, who has the block handled, and
Speaker 1: goes and gets a rack of ribs. That's playing team football,
Speaker 1: team offensive line, a five man operation. Just again, Liam
Speaker 1: and Connor are such different players. Man. It's no knock
Speaker 1: on Liam, because I think that Connor is the only
Speaker 1: center in the world that can hit those twenty yard
Speaker 1: downfield blocks outside the numbers. But you can also see
Speaker 1: Liam's nastiness in a booth like I like him in
Speaker 1: short areas, which is why I think the guard positions
Speaker 1: better for him. But we just need him for center
Speaker 1: right now, where he can kind of clean up a
Speaker 1: chip and then climb to the second level. Just stay compact.
Speaker 1: When he's compact, he's good. When he's in space, not
Speaker 1: so much. Toront's good.
Speaker 2: However you slice it.
Speaker 1: It's frustrating how it seems like something flukey happens to
Speaker 1: him every game, like a body flying into him or
Speaker 1: getting rolled up somehow. Just a freak incident seemed to
Speaker 1: occur every game for this guy, and he was his
Speaker 1: all pro self in this one man he's in the
Speaker 1: top five if you played more. I just felt like
Speaker 1: guys that finished the game should get more of that
Speaker 1: recognition because of that. But I mean Iso slide to
Speaker 1: get doubles everywhere else. He shuts down their best pass rusher.
Speaker 1: Hitting a block outside the numbers when he's outflanked by
Speaker 1: several yards by an outside edge, like squares him up,
Speaker 1: takes him out.
Speaker 2: Of the club.
Speaker 1: You have to go back to Richmond Webb to watch
Speaker 1: a left tackle play the way that toront Armstead does
Speaker 1: in this organization. Like it's so good man Kendall Lamb,
Speaker 1: what an asset he has been. His first play of
Speaker 1: the game was this was a red zone run from Raheem.
Speaker 1: Most of that winds up going to like the two
Speaker 1: yard line and he gets the critical block. Why to
Speaker 1: the numbers, Like, what a valuable piece he's been to
Speaker 1: be that swing tackle all year long. We've needed him
Speaker 1: all year long. Total numbers toront Armstead one pressure, Austin
Speaker 1: had one in his short brief appearance. Lamb had two
Speaker 1: on the interior cotton of Liam both had three pressures allowed,
Speaker 1: and Robert Jones had one pressure allowed. Let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and take our last break right there. Come back on
Speaker 1: the other side to the defense and the snap counts.
Speaker 1: That's all next Draft Time Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,
Speaker 1: brought to you by Auto Nation, finishing up this week
Speaker 1: fifteen film audition of the Draft Time Podcast on the
Speaker 1: defense side of the football.
Speaker 2: And everybody who was worried about.
Speaker 1: This game all week long, all the tweets, all that
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose out even though we're nine point favorites
Speaker 1: against the New York Jets. I kept trying to remind you, guys.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it on social but I would tell
Speaker 1: you in person. Hey, their quarterback is Zach Wilson. So
Speaker 1: the fumble he starts the game with like there is
Speaker 1: no business doing anything but wrapping up the football in
Speaker 1: that spot. It's a seven point bad decision, just awful.
Speaker 1: The next drive, first down, Garrett Wilson has a great route,
Speaker 1: the best route he's ran all year against Jalen Ramsey.
Speaker 2: That turns him around.
Speaker 1: But because this quarterback has to see it happen before
Speaker 1: he throws it, that extra second to process that he
Speaker 1: takes it forces a throwaway. Like we dominated the Jets
Speaker 1: in every facet of the word, no doubt but that
Speaker 1: quarterback is terrible and that offensive line might be somehow
Speaker 1: even worse. Communication breakdowns all over the place. I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see how this Dolphins defense plays against the top
Speaker 1: offense next week because I think they are really good.
Speaker 1: But the Jets offense was as bad as Miami was
Speaker 1: good in this game. But overall, like the game plan
Speaker 1: was awesome. And then this this creates some of that too,
Speaker 1: because Wilson has never played well in terms of you know, anticipation,
Speaker 1: but the game plan that had such variety was really
Speaker 1: what I think created some of that. You get your
Speaker 1: typical zones to turn into man match, right, But the
Speaker 1: shadowing of Wilson with Jalen Ramsey for two thirds of
Speaker 1: the snaps that he was on the field, there was
Speaker 1: a man free rep where Wilson ran the deep over
Speaker 1: and Ramsey is like closer to Garrett Wilson than the
Speaker 1: towel that's tucked into those waist pants, the waste of
Speaker 1: his pants. Like, it was so impressive to watch the
Speaker 1: way he ran with Garrett Wilson, and it was connected
Speaker 1: on the back end, which tells me that those breakdowns
Speaker 1: and big plays last week were more of a function
Speaker 1: of losing guy's mid game and trying to make it
Speaker 1: up on the fly.
Speaker 2: Let's go through this notes real quick.
Speaker 1: So the defensive line, there's just so much flexibility in
Speaker 1: terms of where guys can align, and they play together
Speaker 1: so well, their pursuit, their fundamentals, the selfless approach. They've
Speaker 1: been on it all year, and that's how you produce,
Speaker 1: you know, from different guys having multiple big games every
Speaker 1: you know, the whole year. It's why we have so
Speaker 1: many guys that have big numbers. Everyone's eating forty eight
Speaker 1: sacks is second NFL one hundred and seventeen qbhait first.
Speaker 1: And I already talked about Christian Wilkins. I guess rayk
Speaker 1: one had a rake one game. But Zach sealler Man
Speaker 1: truly a bowl and a china shop, just a ball
Speaker 1: of chaos. He's so damn powerful that every time he
Speaker 1: connects with someone, they feel it like they gets not
Speaker 1: knock back. But he has a unique balance that allows
Speaker 1: him to use that power to just clabber through people
Speaker 1: on his way to affect the quarterback. And his sack
Speaker 1: was just him basically walking his man back, walking his
Speaker 1: man back, get off the block and go make the
Speaker 1: tackle stack, peak, shed finish. They work on that all
Speaker 1: off season and you see it payoff throughout the entire
Speaker 1: NFL season. Four pressures and one stop for Zach Sealer
Speaker 1: in this game. The off ball linebackers that I love
Speaker 1: in this game, well, I guess Gink's more of an
Speaker 1: on ball linebacker, but how about his coverage Rip just
Speaker 1: shows you a little bit of everything every week. Right
Speaker 1: did it with a broken nose too, by the way,
Speaker 1: that happened in the first quarter. Like football players man,
Speaker 1: he had sex pressures, was second on the team, also
Speaker 1: got doubled a lot and messed up the connection of
Speaker 1: their offensive line a lot. So Gink not the big
Speaker 1: sack numbers, but he was impactful in this game. I
Speaker 1: thought David Long was fantastic once again. I never get
Speaker 1: sick of watching how quick he is. He's so fast
Speaker 1: he can break down and change direction with an athletic quarterback,
Speaker 1: which we're gonna need over the last two games of
Speaker 1: the season in the playoffs as well. But the way
Speaker 1: he also has no issues smacking a tight end or
Speaker 1: guard at the point of attack. David Long with James
Speaker 1: Cook and Josh Allen Lamar Jackson coming up like gonna
Speaker 1: be a big key in those games. Three stops and
Speaker 1: two pressures for him. I think we got better at
Speaker 1: linebacker with Duke Riley. I mean, he continues to show
Speaker 1: a real feel for this defense. He does a good
Speaker 1: job taking himself for the play before it even happens,
Speaker 1: if that makes sense, Like he doesn't get stuck in
Speaker 1: false steps, stays low, flows towards the flow of the play,
Speaker 1: you know, funny enough, and then the moment he gets
Speaker 1: a key like a pulling guard or whatever it is,
Speaker 1: it's fire the gun and go. And I love the
Speaker 1: way he attacks shallow crosses in the hook zones. So
Speaker 1: many linebackers, some guys in our own team wait until
Speaker 1: the football's out, then they react and they overrun the
Speaker 1: play and it's out the gate.
Speaker 2: But he anticipates it so well. And what an athlete
Speaker 2: he is.
Speaker 1: He's been exceptional from the moment we lost our own
Speaker 1: Baker back in Washington. Two stops, thirty four coverage snaps.
Speaker 1: They are one for three with six yards, and that
Speaker 1: six completion was short of the sticks with his tackle
Speaker 1: on third down in the secondary Ramsey, there are just
Speaker 1: reps where Garrett Wilson had to shut down shop like
Speaker 1: pressed widened, no speed, and we'd come to a stalemate
Speaker 1: and the play's over. Then he's passing off in someone
Speaker 1: else's own generating depth, taking away backside crossing routes, fallowing
Speaker 1: twenty five yards down the field to pick up that
Speaker 1: backside crosser. Just a master class from Jalen Ramsey. We
Speaker 1: rattled off the shadow stats up top thirty seven coverage snaps,
Speaker 1: one target in the game, no catches on the year.
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks are eleven for twenty seven with a buck fifty two,
Speaker 1: zero touchdowns, three picks. It's a nineteen point nine passer
Speaker 1: rating against He's all world man. I thought cater Co
Speaker 1: who had some good reps consistently in good position and
Speaker 1: we don't know the calls, but it looked like he
Speaker 1: was very on top of his stuff in terms of
Speaker 1: where he was supposed to pass off, where do I
Speaker 1: pick up, which was not the case last week. So
Speaker 1: good to see that there. And I thought Elijah Campbell
Speaker 1: played a big role in that as well. He had
Speaker 1: the awesome pass breakup coming from depth in the game.
Speaker 1: Eli Apple, I thought was his best game as a
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphin. Quick and decisive, kept things in front, fired
Speaker 1: his gun to go get downhill in those short passes,
Speaker 1: had a great pass breakup on third down that creates
Speaker 1: a punting situation. Good job by Eli Apple. And then
Speaker 1: Brandon Jones two picks obviously the headliner are there for him.
Speaker 1: But he made an open field tackle on Dalvin Cooking
Speaker 1: space on a screen that I thought looked like vintage
Speaker 1: of Brandon Jones. So fast and so physical, which is
Speaker 1: where I prefer he plays two picks, three stops, second
Speaker 1: on the team in the game in that regard, great
Speaker 1: stuff all around. How about snap counts, So we know
Speaker 1: we had a bunch of guys that didn't play the
Speaker 1: entire game, right, so the offensive line only two guys
Speaker 1: went the distance that was Cotton and Jones. Eickenberg missed
Speaker 1: five snaps towards the end. They took him out of
Speaker 1: the game there late, So your guy Jonathan Harrison got
Speaker 1: some snaps late in the game. We also had Tron
Speaker 1: Arms had played fifty three so most of the game
Speaker 1: before he exited, but it sounds like he's gonna be
Speaker 1: just fine. Austin Jackson was the one that missed the most.
Speaker 1: He played half the game after taking the injury. Tua
Speaker 1: played fifty three snaps. Mike White played the rest of them,
Speaker 1: which is whereas it eight snaps the running back rotation
Speaker 1: moster got fifty four percent of the workload eight forty percent.
Speaker 1: Have to imagine that we see both those guys get
Speaker 1: more work here in these bigger, you know, better team
Speaker 1: games down the stretch. Where else was alec Ingold at
Speaker 1: thirty one percent of the snaps and then Jeff Wilson
Speaker 1: got eight snaps in the game. Everyone got snaps in
Speaker 1: this game, man, The receiver workload went Jalen Waddle played
Speaker 1: two thirds of the snaps, Barrios played forty percent, that's
Speaker 1: the same number as chosen. And then where was Cedric Wilson, Sorry, guys,
Speaker 1: wilsonacks Will played the most snaps. He played three fourths
Speaker 1: of the snaps in the game. That's good to see that.
Speaker 1: Craig Craft got eight reps. Tight ends Durham played seventy
Speaker 1: percent of the overall workload, Julian Hill thirty six percent,
Speaker 1: and then Tyler Croft got some action as well as well.
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool played five snaps in the game. Two On defense,
Speaker 1: both safeties went the distance, which makes sense.
Speaker 2: No Holland, no Elliott.
Speaker 1: You gotta keep those guys up playing the entire game
Speaker 1: at cornerback co who leads the way with eighty percent
Speaker 1: of the snaps. That's actually the same numbers Ramsey, so
Speaker 1: they played the same number. Eli Apple played just two
Speaker 1: snaps less than those guys, so pretty consistent effort across
Speaker 1: the board. Nick Etham got twenty five percent of the snaps.
Speaker 1: Ethan Bonner played eleven snaps in the game.
Speaker 2: It's good. Just say everyone get some action, man. It's
Speaker 2: kind of how it goes in this one.
Speaker 1: And I don't think Cam Smith play because he got injured,
Speaker 1: so he only played special team snaps in this one.
Speaker 1: The linebackers David Long played fifty four Duke Riley played
Speaker 1: forty seven snaps. Those are kind of your primary guys
Speaker 1: inside off the edge. We had Bradley Chubb playing seventy
Speaker 1: one percent of the snaps with Andrew Van Ginkle playing
Speaker 1: eighty eight percent, So that's kind of how that work
Speaker 1: has gone so far since we lost Jialen Phillips, with
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Ogba playing just four snaps before he got injured.
Speaker 1: But that means Cam Good got thirty four percent of
Speaker 1: the workload in this one. On the interior, Wilkins played
Speaker 1: seventy two percent, Seeler played seventy one percent, and Rayqwan
Speaker 1: played fifty five percent. These low snapcasts, man, that could
Speaker 1: be a big benefit going into the next week against
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, just playing fewer snaps in the game.
Speaker 1: And then Deshaun Han had sixteen snaps as well. So
Speaker 1: there you go. That's your numbers at your film review,
Speaker 1: that's your podcast. We'll come back on Wednesday and break
Speaker 1: down the Dallas Cowboys a big, big, big football game here.
Speaker 2: Cannot wait for that one.
