Dolphins? 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.400 And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, part of the 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:17.920 Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.799 How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield, 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.200 And on today's show, a much more film to watch 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.160 this time around. You guys know the drill, top five tapes, 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:30.240 What worked offense and defense, recap individuals, big play breakdown, 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.320 the snap counts, all of that and a heck of 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.839 a lot more from the Baptist Health Studios inside the 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:40.280 Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:45.639 Yea week number fifteen in the books. Now just three 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.959 to go. Let's go ahead and break down the dolphins 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:52.200 thirty to nothing, comprehensive stopping of the New York Jets, 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.480 and we start as we do with the big play breakdowns. 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.480 I have three for you here. A record breaking touchdown run. 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.480 This was one of my favorite plays of the season, 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.600 and I'll tell you why, as it was a theme 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.000 throughout the course of the football game. So third and 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.120 goal at the two. The two previous runs have netted 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.840 negative one yard the previous two plays. You're seeing a 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.400 pass in that situation, you know, without actually running any 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.640 numbers what ninety percent of the time, like most coaches 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.039 aren't going back to the well the third time. 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.200 But the best part of it was the design. 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.080 It was akin to the Chase Edmunds run in Baltimore 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.000 last year right before the game winner. Remember that like 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.959 twenty eight yard run he had in the game winning drive. 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.000 They're playing their typical man coverage down on low red zone. 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.880 Most defenses do so. When Cedric Wilson motions to the field, 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.200 you get rotation from the defense. One of those rotating 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.960 parts is the force defender. The force defender is your 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.959 furthest width defender who is responsible for containing the edge 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.120 and funneling things back inside to your help. They remove 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.560 that defender. Every defense that's ever been structured has a 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.480 force defender against the run. That's how you drop your 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.280 run fits. If you don't have that, you're gonna lose 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.200 contain outside. You're gonna get up explosive plays or in 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.680 this case, touchdown. And the offensive line flows that way 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.840 with stretch action. So everything is telling you the balls 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.680 going to the right side, except that's not how McDaniel's 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:09.680 run game is designed. 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.000 There's always more than what meets. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.200 The initial eye. That's why Max Crosby told him after 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.160 the game, Dude, it's hell getting ready for you guys. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:17.799 It's tough to game plan for you guys and get 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.200 ready for what you're gonna do offensively, because on this 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.240 play you get double guard counter, which means both guards 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.120 pull out to the backside. Lester Cotton and Rob Jones 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.640 both hit critical seals, and those blocks are really accomplished 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.120 because of the design of the left tackle and the 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.960 tight end who are further left of those guys working 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.040 down blocks to the right, and because of their flow 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.800 that direction. You see those perimeter edge, those perimeter Jets defenders, 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.760 they take one false step inside and that was all 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.360 Lester and all Big Rob needed to get on the 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.200 outside shoulder pad to get their butts flipped around. Turn 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.919 those pads inside, seal it off, and it's a walk 0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:01.600 in cruise in Cruising USA. Raheem moster down run seventeenth 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.359 of the year, nineteenth total. Both of those are Miami 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.480 Dolphins records. The next big play is a deep shot 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.840 from two A Tonguaailoa to Jalen Waddle on the fly by. 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.760 It's so impressive how we get these deep connections often 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.200 against coverage with just two man route combos. There's always 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.440 a checkdown option of a release valve a running back 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.720 of some sort, but typically it's Tyreek and Waddle executing 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.640 a two man route combo to get the shot. Places 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.840 for this offense an all game long, the Dolphins were 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.840 helping with some max protect situation and it's a big 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.880 reason why the offense was so efficient in this one, 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.760 but never more so than on this one. I believe 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.200 it's quarter quarter half aka quarter six, which is one 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.680 deep defender has a half of the field. The other 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.760 two defenders have quarters, So three defenders take up the 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.720 entire deep umbrella of the defense, and DJ Reid, the 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.000 Jets cornerback, is the quarter to the boundary the short 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.320 side of the field. Then you have two high safeties 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.400 and at the pre snap motion that widens those safeties, 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.560 you see them shift to go along with them back 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.600 to the field the wide side of the field, and 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.160 that declares that DJ Reed now has to run vertical 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.560 alone with Jalen Waddle, and this offense, if you get 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.320 one player running vertical without safety help, on waddle Tyreek. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.480 That's probably where the ball should go. The protection's awesome 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.000 because you have doubles on both Quinn Williams and Quinton 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.479 Jefferson inside Liam and Lester and Rob and Austin both 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.200 create this perfect pocket. And this is where you love 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:29.839 having a player of tarn Armstead's caliber because he just 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.599 shuts down one of their best pass rushers, Bryce Huff. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:33.880 Just take care of it. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.279 One v one will double up everybody else and just 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.680 take out their best pass rusher with your best pass protector. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.599 Then durham smythe has help from alec Ingold on Jermaine Johnson, 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.000 but guess what, didn't even need it because he shut 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.279 the rep down. And news flash, if you're tight end 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.560 shutting down an edge rusher, it's gonna be a long 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.479 day for you. He destroyed Johnson on that play and 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.600 then two aids in it getting that single coverage declaration 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.799 by holding the quarter safety. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.359 This is gonna be a lot. So hang with me. 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:04.400 The quarter safety who's possibly going to help impact Wattle's 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.520 route with a front side crossing route from Chosen. So 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.520 Wattle's going vertical to the left, Chosen's running the crossing 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.560 route from the right coming left, and he occupies that 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.400 other safety who could potentially get depth and peel out 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.120 of his quarter coverage and just went back to the 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.279 deep portion of the field and try to help because 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.760 Reid got smoked. But that's not what happened, because Tua 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.160 locks onto that safety before he pumps the ball deep, 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.360 and that makes him kind of has some indecision. I 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.719 better go buzz this crossing route. Now I can't help 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.480 on Wattle, and then it's up to Jaylen. Waddle comes 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.400 off the line of scrimmage against this off coverage, which 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.479 is typical for cover six. I thought Jets fans complaining 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.760 about their coverage, like, you don't want to press these 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.640 guys too much, because if you lose the line of scrimmage, 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.800 it's over quickly. At least an off coverage you can 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.640 have a chance to kind of, you know, rotate and 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.239 help and double. But he comes off the line wattle 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.080 like the red Bull racing car. And quite frankly, I 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.440 don't think I've seen another person on the planet that 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.480 can run this route. He might be the only guy. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.960 I'm sure it's out there. I just probably haven't watched 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.920 all the tape of the National Football League to see 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.520 it like I'm not grinding Jamar Chase tape every week. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:04.120 You'll sue me. 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.200 But I don't think that Tyreek has this in his 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:07.960 bag because he's a shorter strider. 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:08.960 And I'll explain it to you. 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.800 So Jalen is at full speed and he takes this 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.960 widening step, which you know receivers there're steps and how 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:15.440 they stab. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:16.320 A stab is a. 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.400 Term that receivers use in terms of like selling the 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.440 direction they want to run. A stab step is kind 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.919 of a fake. He sells this stab step inside that 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.360 widens dj reed. It breaks him down. He goes from 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.359 pedaling backwards and his feet flattened. For just a second, 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.520 you can see him and that's when panic sets in 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.440 because he knows, oh, that wasn't an inside move. That 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.680 was a move to goal vertical. But the next step 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.760 that Wattle takes is why he's full blown alien with 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.680 this stuff. It's not that's not an on balance platform 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.680 like you're They tell you to keep your feet under 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.599 your shoulders in football, right, That's how you stay with 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.840 your balance as best as you possibly can. That's not 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.159 what he's doing here. But because he's an alien, he 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.240 can drive off that stab step and accelerate through it 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.320 where most guys have to dec and then it just 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.479 gets even better because first Tua throws the ball down 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.640 there in a spot like you would see one of 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.840 the master chefs on chopped presenting their dishes to the chefs, 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.400 like look at what I made with reduced vinegarrette made 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.040 out of chopped tofu like it's on a silver platter. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.600 Couldn't be put out there any better. But Wattle has 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.120 more work to do, and he stacks. DJ reed, what 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.600 does stacking mean? So when you get past the defender, 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.400 you know, if you're side by side with them, you 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:26.840 want to make sure you get on top of them 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:28.400 and put them on your back because then they have 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.680 to play through you to the football. They can't run 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.680 their full acceleration because they might tangle their feet and 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.400 get a DPI like stacking the dB. It's taught across 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.440 the entire football, you know, cognacenti as it were, to 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.480 do that, and he does it here perfectly, and it 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.640 allows him to adjust in flight to the ball because 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.600 the ball kind of goes down the numbers, which is 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.760 where two typically throws these deep shots, and Wattle's wider 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.160 than that, but because he stacked read, he has more 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.520 time to adjust runs right through it. I think it's 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.600 my favorite touchdown of the entire season. Impressive, impressive stuff 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.640 all the way around our third final big play. And 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.360 I only use one of the takeaways here because the 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.320 two picks late in the game, those were like it 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.920 was over already, so you know, cool, and they were. 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.160 They were kind of just pop flies that you know, 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.600 sit me and through either way, Zach Steeler almost scores again. 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.840 So there were some coverage sacks in this game, this 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.240 was not one of them. In fact, Garrett Wilson got 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.040 free on a drag route from mesh, which is two 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.240 drag routes on opposite sides of the formation that come 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.280 across the middle of the field and tries to create 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.320 a natural rub on your linebacker or man cut corners 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:29.640 depending on mannor zone. 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.960 It's a very common man beater across. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.800 All levels of football. But before Wilson even cleared the 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.080 hook defender, because you have two guys covering in man 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.400 chasing those guys, but there also is a hook defender 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.679 playing a zone in that defense, Wilson was already spinning 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.920 out of danger from the pass rush, so it was open, 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.000 but the pass rush defeated their offensive line to prevent 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.319 that option from being there for Zach Wilson. And that's 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:55.199 because Christian Wilkins wins from the one shade like immediately, 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.600 and you know, the a gap pressure is the worst 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.400 pressure for a quarterback. It looked like a com unication 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.640 breakdown for the Jets on the offensive line because the 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.200 center is sliding out to help the guard, but there's 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.559 no one there to help on it. So like they 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.720 did that a lot, there's not very good. But Christian 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.440 is able to recognize this and then rush half the 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.720 man and just discards him quicker than I can discard 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.840 my Thanksgiving key lin pie. And Zach Seeler gets cut 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.160 by the running back, but his presence doesn't allow Wilson 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.800 to step up into that portion of the pocket, though 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.120 he probably wasn't going to anyway, because this quarterback never 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:27.720 does that. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:29.600 That's why he can't play in this league. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.800 Instead of that, he does his little roll around where 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.080 he tries to extend the play, gets wrangled by the 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.920 ankle by Christian Wilkins, and then like you could have 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.600 gotten to throw away off, but not so fast. Be friend, 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.760 because number two smells blood in the water and with 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.640 a burst of speed around the corner, just accelerates her 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.560 right through. Wilson hits him mid throwing motion balls on 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.880 the ground. Sealer never gives up the play, so he 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.560 gets back to his feet and then scoops it up 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.479 for a near score. That is how you play phenomenal 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.719 team defense. Who big plays in the bag. Let's go 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.600 ahead and do top five tapes right here before our 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.680 first break. Number one is Bradley Chubb. It had to 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.760 be a career day for him. It's always nice to 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.880 thread a thought from training camp that sticks and rides 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.480 throughout the course of the entire season. And I remember 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.760 being so impressed by both be Chubb and JP's work 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.000 in the perimeter running game because this offense is so 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.360 good at it, but they made it challenging on the 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.840 Dolphins because both Chubb and Phillips are so good and 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.959 he's maintained that menacing level throughout the entire season. 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.439 Just look at him standing over there, all menacingly, and. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.839 He has multiple tools in the bag to win against 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.199 those looks. You pull a backside guard cool, He'll put 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.800 a little hesitation crossover step and beat them with speed. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:34.720 Try it with a tight end a guy that's giving 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.560 up forty pounds a chubb that ain't gonna work. 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:37.640 He's a top five draft pick. 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.720 He has the production and the athletic testing and the 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.000 physical strength to go punch that dude in the mouth 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.120 and win with brute force. Also, he just did so 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.880 many things in this game. He'll hold the perimeter on 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.920 handoffs where Wilson would like boot out, you know, after 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.120 giving the ball to Dalvin Cook or Breese Hall, because 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:54.840 you have to contain that edge. That's his role, so 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.800 you can't see that guy. I mean, sometimes they'll do 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.520 it where they just crash the end and you get 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.839 Lamar Jackson pulling the ball out zone read and going, 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.160 you know, sixty yards down the field and Zach Wilson's 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.200 not Lamar Jackson, but he can run, so you have 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.959 to respect the boot action off of that. And then 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.360 once he recognizes the ball has been handed off, just 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.360 condense his inside and close that backside sea gap to 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.360 cut down Dalvin Cook before you can even find that 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.360 bend back lane, which, by the way, is anybody more washed. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.280 Than Dalvin Cook? My goodness, I can't. 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:21.920 You can't watch that tape last year and tell me 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.040 you thought you should have signed that player, like obvious, 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.400 just like Devin White was deactive for the Bucks chest 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.160 dam those healthy. Like I don't know, listen to guys 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.640 that watch tape. I'm gonna have to ask Bradley Chubb 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.160 this week. But I think his first full sack that 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.439 he had in the game where he just destroyed Mackay 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.160 Beckton inside the b gap is because I think he 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.840 read that out real time, Like Benden winds up over 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.640 setting and getting more depth than he should have, and 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.400 Chubb just goes into a little breakdown chop step and 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.680 he sees that opening on the inside. If you're gonna 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.720 give a pass rusher of the inside lane, they're gonna 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.559 take it every time. And he gets in there with 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.839 an aggressive step pair with an arm over that just 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.520 makes him unblockable for Becton, and he's literally passed him 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.760 before Wilson's even got his eyes back to the defense 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.280 because he's still executing a play action fake and he 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.640 still got his back to the defense. Just shuts it 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.000 down from the word go. That's like it doesn't matter 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.360 what everybody else in the field does. Bradley Chubb won 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.160 that play by himself for a big loss. That's the 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.079 kind of stuff that like superstars do. Man seven pressures 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.040 led the team, six stops, also led the team, three sacks, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.719 two forced fumbles. He might play the rest of his 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:24.360 life and never have a game that good again, because 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.520 that's tough to do. My second top tape is Jalen Waddell. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:29.520 This is what I'm talking about when I say the 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.760 tape has been good for him all year. Yes, there 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.319 are drops, and he had one in this game that 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.880 you can point to, but the guy's always open, and 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.600 you saw this game the ball coming his way. Finally 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.880 when he did get open, finally, his plays syncd up 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.480 with the timing of the offense and its breakout performance 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.280 where he had one hundred and forty two yards, But honestly, 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.719 that's probably a lot closer to two hundred if we 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.440 didn't have to grind the game down to a halt, 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.120 if the Jets could have scored a couple of touchdowns 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.000 and kept the game close, and you have to keep 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:55.920 going through the air. Waddle probably has two bills in 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.160 this game, but the details of his routes, even on 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.520 plays where he's not even in the progression, and you know, 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.280 I can't know for sure that he's not part of 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.640 the progression, but like there was a throw to eight 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.800 Chen in the flat hot where it clearly was not 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:12.000 going to him but to to Waddle. But his goal 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.480 on this play, because you're running double slants to create 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.040 this window to the flat, is to you have to 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.120 sell the cornerback that you're going to win that inside 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.800 access and it creates the lane with this little starter steps, 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.720 stab outside cross face, and flip your man's hips. Once 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.319 you get the hips flipped, that's when you know that 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.319 it's gonna be an easy conversion because of the way 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.120 the offense is designed, and for Wattle, it's just constant. 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.360 He blocks this way, he runs his routes this way, 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.679 he cheers on his teammates this way. He catches a 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.959 dig later in the game where he sort of slow 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.040 plays the release and this is like the nuance of 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.839 his game that people just don't appreciate. Both he and 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.520 Tyreek have this in their game and it's not appreciated enough, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.120 I don't think. But he slow plays the release and 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.559 then when he sees Tua separate the hands and that 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.719 thing happens fast right to rip the anticipation throw, it's 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.680 like put the pedal on the floor. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:56.520 Was that loud? 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.480 And go? Like he accelerates through the apex angle back 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.920 to the football, which is third year player, Like, that's great, man, 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.360 pluck it. And then it's like a good driver using 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.040 the on ramp to get up to speed. Right. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.719 You know that driver that's going forty five on the 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:10.360 on ramp. 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.160 And you're like, go, we have to be going twenty 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.520 five miles an hour faster in the next fifteen feet, 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.439 otherwise we're gonna be blocking up traffic. We merge and 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.440 we're already at top speed because we're a good driver. 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.080 That's Jalen Waddle. He probably drives these streets in South Florida, 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.960 which are dangerous, very very well. Eight catches, one hundred 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.480 and forty two yards, one touchdown, nine targets. That's good 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.040 for fifteen point seven per target. That's good for five 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.080 point nine two yards per route ram. Those are both 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.360 season highs for Jalen Waddle seventy one yards, but it 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.680 came after the catch. That's eight point nine yards after 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.000 the catch per catch. It feels like Wattle is about 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.240 to take off. Let's go ahead and take off. Ourselves 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.120 for our first break right here. Come back on the 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.520 other side and do the next three through five top tapes. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.680 We'll do offense and defense and snapcounts, all of that 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.520 ahead Drivetime Podcast your host Travis Wingfield. 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:57.800 We are brought to you by Auto Nation. Our top 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.720 two tapes went to Jalen Wattle and Bradley Chubb. 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.400 Our third top tape from the Dolphins thirty to Nothing 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.440 beat down of the Airplanes is Christian Wilkins. The way 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.760 that this guy, I mean, everything he does is impressive, 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.560 with the way he rides the flow on outside zone, 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.320 the way he you know, gets back over a block 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:19.280 that he shouldn't be able to power, strength, quickness, smarts, intelligence, leadership, conditioning. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:21.960 He's everything you want in a football player. But also 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:23.560 what I noticed in this game the way that he 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.240 adjusts to players leverage in real time. Kind of like 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.400 I talked about with Bradley Chubb's pass rush on Makai 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.160 Beckton for the sack. It's cool to watch it play 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.800 out like that because, like there's a situation in the 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.240 game where he's the pick man on a stunt that's 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.680 designed to get seeler from that five technique to wrap 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.080 off of his butt inside to loop around for that 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.680 you know, free run on the quarterback. And as soon 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.120 as the center the inside man starts to peel off 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.480 inside to go pick up Zach Christian like like almost 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.080 like they're attached, like if he pulls this way, Christian 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.080 feels the rope pull and so he inherently knows I'm 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.000 immediately gonna work my momentum back into that man, because 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.280 not only will it collapse him and prevent him from 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.680 helping on the on picking up Zack Seeler, but it 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.400 also allows Zach or rather Christian, I should say, to 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.640 further penetrate the pocket and split those two offensive linemen 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.120 and go get the quarterback. He was, as always fantastic. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.240 This is the best year of his career, better than himself, 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.160 and it's gonna pay off for him. Five pressures, one 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.600 stop in the game for Christian Wilkins. My fourth best 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.160 tape strap in because it's too a tongue of by 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.160 Loa and I have a lot to say about our 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.760 quarterback here. So the release and anticipation somehow has gotten better. 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.440 I counted a handful of throws where he's throwing into 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.600 a triangle or a window of defenders where he's banking 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.640 solely on the fact that their current leverage will remove 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.240 them from the equation and the space that he's trying 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.360 to throw the football into. And it's not just those 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.440 quick short shots over the middle like the fourth down conversion, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.840 the play where Waddle got hurt on the first drive. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.480 I mean, this is a throw that travels twenty five 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.000 yards in the air with the safety on top of Wattle, 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.960 a cloud corner whose zone reading Tua is zone dropping 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.760 Tua with his eyes on the quarterback pressing inside, and 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.000 the hook linebacker, which is not what they usually are, 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.000 but against this offense, is fifteen yards of depth. Typically 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.080 they're more in the ten twelve range, but against this offense, 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.520 you gotta get more depth. So the skill to throw 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.560 that ball into that pocket with anticipation and the layering 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.800 because it he throws it with like a hump where 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.280 it gets up over that first level and then just 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.480 dives down into Waddle into the pocket like that. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:18.719 That's spin rate. 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.880 That's a big hand that's generating force on the ball sideway, 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.600 so it can have that little hump move like go 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:26.639 throw a football. There's different ways to manipulate the way 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.960 the football flies through the air to a tongue of 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.320 Ioa is one of the best in the world doing that. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.560 Talk about all the traits you want. I want these 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.560 things combined from my quarterback. 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:36.160 What was a surprise? 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.960 He's playing great football because he has those traits, crazy thought, 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.199 and I thought that he had two misses on the day. 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.160 There was a drop pick, which I at first thought 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.720 was not that bad, but it was pretty bad. Although 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.360 I will say Cedric Wilson came out of the break 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.879 very slowly and rounded it off and like, there's no 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:52.680 way a linebacker should be able to read that and 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:54.680 judge it and jump that play like that. I got 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.879 it when Brandon Eckles did the last time around, because 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.520 he's a slot cornerback and Toua was late on the read. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:01.440 I thought this was more of the receiver kind of 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:03.440 kind of running a half assed route of being honest, 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:04.720 but still to a put the ball right in the 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:06.679 hands of the defender. Luckily he drops it. And then 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.320 there was a screen dump off on the opening drive. 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.720 It's second nineteen, after the holding call, right after the 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.840 big shot downfield to Waddle. I don't know if you 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.720 recall that, but it's second nineteen and Raheem runs that 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.600 little Texas screen right, the little angle route back inside 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.879 that we had with success with Devon h Chan recently 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.040 or earlier in the year, I should say, and Raheem 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:25.720 has a blocker right in front of him in green 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:27.800 grass in front, but he has to pivot and reach 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.680 back and catch it one handed, which slows him down 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.840 and that allows the pursuit to catch up. But that 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.520 was it. Those two throws I thought were the only 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:35.480 bad players by two in the entire game, because he 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.120 was incomplete control of us one man. Like we had 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:43.360 good spacing by design offensively, but this quarterback really accentuates 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:47.440 your ability to maintain that space in the football field. 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.200 Like he can start to the one to the boundary 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:51.520 short side of the field right furthest out receiver, the 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.520 one furthest out boundary short side, come off that and 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:56.280 go all the way back to the field side to 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.720 the one the furthest receiver that way, so the entire 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.440 formation to watch the hook zone, the middle linebacker who's 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.440 ultimately influencing your next read right, you have to find 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.240 ways to move those guys so he can start a 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.760 boundary one, go back field one and then shoot the 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.240 ball into a gap in the hook zone to durham 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.640 smythe where there's a linebacker on either hashmark and Durham's 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:18.680 just chilling in the middle. The hash marks are like 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:21.200 seven yards apart in the NFL or something like that. 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:23.280 Like that's not a wind, that's not a very big 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:25.920 window at all. Like to it creates it, though, And 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.320 the reason the hookbacker is false stepping here and not 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.720 driving across that and picking it off just like you 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.440 saw happen to Lamar Jackson on Sunday Night Football, is 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.200 because Tue knows where Durham is and how to throw 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.040 it to him accurately, despite the fact that he's never 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.520 looking at him. He just knows he's there, and he's 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.920 throwing off of timing and rep and feel as in 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.160 my helmet stripe is to the field to a flag 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.440 route to the corner towards the pylon. But the minute 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.199 my eyes come back to the hook, the throwing motion's 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.840 already started. It's already going. He plays as fast as 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:57.720 his mind operates. And if you can understand that, you 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:58.560 can understand what. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:00.520 Makes to an elite quarterback. 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.040 We heard McDaniel praise to it for taking some sacks, 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.400 the first one, the third and three. Everything was bracketed, 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:07.840 and I'm with coach. Any of those targets are a 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.760 risk of a turnover. Sometimes the defense just wins and 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.440 you have to tip your cap to those guys. Some 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.200 drives will end in punts. But with how good and 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.880 efficient this quarterback is, if we just don't force those 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.959 types of throws and accept that flipping the field opposed 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:22.960 to a turnover in those spots, with the way this 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.000 defense is playing, you're gonna be tough to beat. If 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.479 this team doesn't turn the ball over, they will, They'll win. 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:30.680 I don't care anything else. If they don't turn the 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:32.199 ball over in a game, they're gonna beat you. That's 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.080 how I feel about this team. And the turn game 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.760 manager has this negative connotation to it for whatever reason. 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.600 But in this sense, managing the game and knowing those factors, 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.120 good defense, struggling offense, field position, scoreboard, time of the game, 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:46.840 that stuff is part of being a good quarterback, narratives 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:50.400 or not. And so while he's doing that, he's also 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.200 incredibly decisive. I don't think there's a good defense for 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:55.399 him when he is the decisive. He averaged a career 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.399 low two point oh eight seconds snapped throw. Even the 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.639 best pass prussher are gonna get to the quarterback in 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.240 two point eight seconds, maybe twice a game. 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:08.080 Maybe maybe there's back to back throws. 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:09.760 In the last touchdown driver of the first half one 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:11.879 a wattle drop, And I noted that because it was 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.760 such unique footwork that just speaks more to as prowess 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:17.200 as a quarterback. He takes the path of the running 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:18.960 back like he chases the running back down like a draw, 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:20.880 like like where you go get the draw and put 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:22.600 it in their belly pose of the running back running 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.480 up to you right. And then after the fake, he 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.800 has to flip his feet all the way around because 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.360 he's aligned to the formation like a right handed quarterback. 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:33.000 And as he does all this, the throwing motion is 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:36.119 already beginning. He plays as fast as he thinks. The 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.600 whole reason the window for this throw is open against 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:41.800 the off coverage is that Tua's footwork and some false 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.520 polls from the offensive line, mostly Tua. It sucks that 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.879 second level up and creates that window. These are the 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.879 small things that people that dog in this quarterback just 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:51.760 are not capable of knowing. 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:52.639 It's that simple. 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:55.240 The next one is the Braxton Burials conversion, that little 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:57.560 corner route on third down. It's a true drop back 0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:59.120 on third and six with a blitz, so a fifth 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:01.840 man comes and Smyth and Barrios are on a stack 0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:04.679 to the field, which is essentially so they're lined up 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.280 right next to each other to kind of create confusion 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:08.480 for the split for the defense. And it's essentially a 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:10.640 smash concept, which is a corner route and a little 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.960 square in or a hitch something to pull a defender 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.840 inside to create outside access for this throw. And since 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:20.040 Burrios is the receiver with a defensive back in man coverage, 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:22.480 you know the receiver is the first to react because 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:25.520 the DB's reacting to the receiver, not the quarterback like 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:28.359 he would in zone, so it requires an insane amount 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:30.800 of anticipation. He throws the football high in a way. 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:32.240 It's perfect quarterback play. 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:32.520 Guys. 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:35.359 You can't defend that. The fourth down conversion is also 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.040 perfect quarterback play. The Jets run a game to the 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:42.040 weak side. A te stunt to tackle goes outside, the 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.000 end goes inside for pressure on the quarterback. That looping 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:47.560 end has a free run down the pipe right in 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:49.840 tuoas face just like we had again, Zach Wilson all 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:50.280 game long. 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:52.399 But Tua has the ball out and I clocked it. 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:54.760 I got one at one point nine to three and 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:56.840 one at one point nine to five, So I'm gonna 0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:59.600 call it one point nine four seconds. That's not enough 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:01.520 time to execute a stunt. It's not enough time to 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:03.360 beat your man one on one. It's barely enough time 0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:04.960 to win off the edge and just run straight to 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:07.440 the quarterback when they forget to block you. But now 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.280 what Tua has to do is to protect himself. So 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:13.040 he speeds up his throwing motion and turning into a 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:14.679 little flick of the wrist where he drops the arm 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:16.920 angled down to three quarters and he becomes more rist 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.119 action opposed to a full wind up throw, because the 0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:21.359 wrist action is a quicker little dart throw opposed to 0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:23.720 a baseball pitch right, So he squares up his feet 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:26.400 so he can absorb the shove. The defensive lineman loves 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.320 to give a quarterback like ball out. Shove him right, 0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:30.320 hit him, make him feel you. The ball is out 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:34.520 before Waddle clears. The hook meets him directly between two defenders, 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:36.640 and the hit doesn't even put us on the ground 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.040 because we are in a position to brace for that 0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:41.919 contact money. This is where I think his game has 0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:44.119 really gone to the next level, whether it's creating on 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.560 the move or just speeding things up another notch. He's 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.600 playing faster than the defense can. In all but like 0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.840 three games this season, on twenty plus airyard throws, he 0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:53.639 was one for one with sixty yards and a touchdown. 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:55.879 The wattle shot, on ten plus airyard throws, he was 0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:58.040 four for five with one hundred and sixteen yards and 0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.720 a touchdown blitz he was three for three thirty three yards. 0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:02.760 When he was pressured, he was four for five with 0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:04.919 forty eight yards and three sacks. So that did get 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:06.760 him a little bit, but that was about it. Great 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:09.520 game to a fourth best tape of the Week Number 0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:11.680 five tape is Durham Smyth. He made a couple of 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.119 tough catches where he takes a big hit, but the 0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:16.159 real reason that he's in here is for how he 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:18.760 whipped the Jets in the running game. And Mike McDaniel 0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:21.359 on Monday called him the consummate Miami dolphin because the 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:23.200 way he doesn't care how he gets to the winner circle. 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:25.560 He just wants to get you to the winner circle. 0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:27.480 He's got a handful of reps in this game where 0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:29.960 he chips the edge that either helps Austin or Tehran 0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.520 to position themselves to finish off the block. Then he 0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:34.560 climbs up to the will or the strong safety to 0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:38.200 just the green on their jersey disappears off the screen 0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.600 because all you see is the white jersey with an 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:43.679 Aqua eighty one swallowing up that entire block. The perimeter 0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:46.480 seal on both raeheem touchdowns, go look at any explosive 0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:48.920 runs off the edge. Typically Durham's the guy making a 0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:51.199 key block. The reason I'm going with Durham here over 0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:53.000 some of the guys who had gaudy stat lines is 0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:54.920 that I think the key to beating the Jets defense 0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:57.399 is to dominate the edge, and he is the biggest 0:24:57.400 --> 0:24:59.080 reason we did that in this game and back in 0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:02.280 week twelve. Honestly, it was impossible this week any of 0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:04.639 the honorable mentioned guys could be top five here, Like 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:07.760 Zach's Eiler belongs in there, Jalen Ramsey belongs in there, 0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:10.040 David Long belongs in there. To Ron Arms, it might 0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:11.440 have had the best tape of anybody in the entire 0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:14.800 game of him being honest, fantastic, fantastic stuff. Durham had 0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:17.080 four targets thirty two yards eight. That's eight yards per 0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:19.080 target in one point six eight yards per out ran. 0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:22.200 Those are both season highs for durham smyth, let's go 0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:24.200 ahead and knock out the offensive notes here before the 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:26.680 last break and just real quick, you guys want that 0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:28.560 play that I think everyone doesn't like right now. It's 0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:30.879 a little fake hand off to a dummy back, like 0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:33.639 no running back there, and then the backside flip. I 0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:35.960 feel like something is coming off of that. And I'm 0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:37.520 gonna go ahead and put a bold prediction out there 0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:40.880 right now. Cowboys game playoffs of cover three that could 0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:42.960 kind of open up a deep post route because of 0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:45.240 the way it influences that middlefield safety. 0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:46.280 Just keep an eye on that. 0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:49.480 I thought there were so many well conceived, schemed up 0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:52.240 wins for the Dolphins in this one, like making life 0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:53.919 easy on your offense when you can do that right, 0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:56.240 And it worked with synergy because all the quick game 0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:59.439 had the defensive line second guessing their approach aggressively. They 0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:01.800 want to get up upfield, downhill and come after the 0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:04.280 quarterback we're just a good matchup for that defense man. 0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:06.000 Like we've seen it in both games this year and 0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:09.000 even both games last year, particularly the first game when 0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:10.560 Raheem most it was rolling in that one. But we 0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:15.520 exploit their areas of vulnerability, the vulnerability that their style presents, 0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:18.879 like it's very much jizz of what we do strong. 0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:20.879 We hit a Chan on a flat to Converty a 0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:22.320 third down early in the game, and you can just 0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:24.879 see that's one place that's where the ball's going the 0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:27.880 whole way. But it's a clear winner, priestnot because Chan 0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:30.159 motions to the side of the field, chased by a 0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:33.040 linebacker who's already three yards out flank, you're not gonna 0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:34.960 catch him right there. The best part about to me, 0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:38.920 your playside receiver have to run convincing routes and both 0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:41.520 waddle we we talked about earlier and Krai Craft both 0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:43.800 get their guys to flip their hips inside to sell 0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:46.879 the inside access. Really really really good game plan and 0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:48.800 it's just what you want to see. One week, actually 0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:50.399 talked about the Titans in the same way because we 0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:52.639 got out coached in that game. Now that said, I 0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.159 will give you guys this disclaimer. I think there are 0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:57.520 clear deficiencies that you're gonna have to deal with the 0:26:57.560 --> 0:26:59.480 rest of the way, Like on the interior offensive line, 0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:02.600 there's too many power moves whe Quinn Williams, Chucks Liam 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.480 or Lester or they overrun blocks the second level Like 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:07.600 it's a problem, but it's a problem that we can 0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:09.600 survive as long as we stay as we are now. 0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:13.240 But the alternative, like guys off the street, I just 0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:15.359 don't know about that, So we'll be fine, But you 0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:17.720 have to elevate other areas of your football team when 0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:20.560 guys go down like Tua did and like Waddle did 0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:22.640 and Robert Hunt being back will be huge there as well. 0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:25.400 As far as the eligibles. Jeff Wilson's the first. 0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:27.000 One that I know here because what a teammate he is. 0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:27.199 Man. 0:27:27.480 --> 0:27:29.000 He jumped into the role that we saw. 0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:30.760 Chris Brooks play a little bit earlier this year, where 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.080 he's whamming the edge from those nasty alignments. You know, 0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:34.960 an extra blocker as an eligible is nice to have. 0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:37.160 I also want to add River Craycraft for that because 0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:38.400 he blocks every game. 0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:38.840 Awesome. 0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:41.480 Raheem short note here kind of feels like Rinse repeat 0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:42.879 because I just talk about it every week with the 0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:46.200 physicality with how he plays so frequently it's him in 0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:48.120 a lineback with the point of attack, and he approaches 0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:51.400 that thing with a linebacker's mentality. It's awesome to watch 0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:55.520 Julian Hill when he hits defensive backs. There's just a 0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:57.760 force to it that like, let's put it this way. 0:27:58.080 --> 0:27:59.919 I don't envy those guys at all. 0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:02.240 It must suck. He's a big dude. 0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:04.560 He also runs a lot of routes where they kind 0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:06.600 of re route him and he winds up working through 0:28:06.680 --> 0:28:08.560 it in a way that acts as like a rub route, 0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:10.600 so he's kind of like setting picks downfield. But he 0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:13.080 always knows how to get the hands up, so it's 0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:15.960 obvious that it's not offensive pass interference. It's a level 0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:18.680 of vetsavvy you wouldn't expect from rookie, but Julian Hill's 0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.040 been doing that all year long. I thought Braxon Barrios's 0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:23.520 toughness was on display all day long as a return man. 0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:25.680 That tough third down catch and in the running game 0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:27.800 might have been the best burials game I've gotten so far. 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:30.760 And then you know, we talked about the perimeter game, right, 0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.720 so we ran the ball off tackle, both touchdowns were 0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:36.360 off tackle, and had forty five of the seventy seven 0:28:36.440 --> 0:28:38.800 rushing yards off tackle. How about this the perimeter passing 0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:40.680 game from two Tongue Bai Loa. He was six for 0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:42.520 eight with one hundred and twelve yards and a touchdown 0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:45.000 pass to one to fifty three passer rating. So he 0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:47.120 can't win without Tyreek and he can't throw the ball 0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:51.520 outside the numbers. Right, got any more brain busters offensive 0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:54.240 line that earlier miss I mentioned with Tua where he 0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:56.760 had Raheem on the angle route. Even if he throws 0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:59.520 a good ball there, Honestly, Liam misses a one to 0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:02.880 one blowpace. I think it's I don't know, if he 0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:04.600 attaches to the block there, it's probably a big play. 0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:06.400 But I think you saw a few examples in this game, 0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:09.040 like that play where you really missed Connor Williams. You 0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:11.240 just have to find another way to overcome that, right, 0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:13.400 Like coaches are problem solvers, that's a problem. 0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:13.920 Solve it. 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:15.840 We just don't have the same unicorns on the interior 0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:17.840 that we once did, so what figure it out? But yeah, 0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:20.960 Liam and Lester overran so many blocks at the second level. 0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:23.400 I mean, it's a difference between rushing for seventy seven 0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:25.280 yards and one hundred and fifty eight yards. Like the 0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:27.840 last game against this Jets teams, that's. 0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:28.200 How it goes. 0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:30.600 Man, it's rough, and for that matter, I thought Austin 0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:32.760 had probably his sloppiest game of the year. On the 0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:35.000 holding call, he tried to shorten the runway, but John 0:29:35.040 --> 0:29:37.240 Franklin Myers attacked it with the same ferocity to the 0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:40.040 aj has and it got him off balance. He also 0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:41.960 got him on the first and goal failed run before 0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:44.920 Raheem's first touchdown run. Liam got smoked by Quinn Williams. 0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:46.800 So there were some issues on tape, but I do 0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:48.720 think when Rob Hunt gets back it'll solve some of 0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:51.080 those issues and I would go Rob Jones at left guard. 0:29:51.160 --> 0:29:53.080 That's just me though, so that's how I would handle 0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:53.480 it when. 0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:55.600 He gets back. Speaking of Rob Jones, thought this was 0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:56.440 a really good game from him. 0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:57.960 There were so many pass pro reps where he was 0:29:58.000 --> 0:29:59.800 able to transfer the weight and kind of slide to 0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.120 stay right in front of his man, like really really 0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:04.120 good stuff. He also has a good feel for when 0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:05.960 he can get off a double team and go find work. 0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:08.640 I saw one rep where he's holding Liam's outside post, 0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:10.600 and then he turns his head back to see Austin 0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:13.280 who's trying to deal with a guy crossing inside his face. 0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:15.800 So he leaves Liam, who has the block handled, and 0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:18.880 goes and gets a rack of ribs. That's playing team football, 0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:22.240 team offensive line, a five man operation. Just again, Liam 0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:24.480 and Connor are such different players. Man. It's no knock 0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:26.240 on Liam, because I think that Connor is the only 0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:28.520 center in the world that can hit those twenty yard 0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:32.480 downfield blocks outside the numbers. But you can also see 0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:34.320 Liam's nastiness in a booth like I like him in 0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:36.080 short areas, which is why I think the guard positions 0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:37.640 better for him. But we just need him for center 0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:40.160 right now, where he can kind of clean up a 0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:42.720 chip and then climb to the second level. Just stay compact. 0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:45.400 When he's compact, he's good. When he's in space, not 0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:46.959 so much. Toront's good. 0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:47.840 However you slice it. 0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:50.480 It's frustrating how it seems like something flukey happens to 0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:52.680 him every game, like a body flying into him or 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.320 getting rolled up somehow. Just a freak incident seemed to 0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:57.440 occur every game for this guy, and he was his 0:30:57.520 --> 0:30:59.160 all pro self in this one man he's in the 0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:01.160 top five if you played more. I just felt like 0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:03.000 guys that finished the game should get more of that 0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:05.640 recognition because of that. But I mean Iso slide to 0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:08.160 get doubles everywhere else. He shuts down their best pass rusher. 0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:10.760 Hitting a block outside the numbers when he's outflanked by 0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:13.280 several yards by an outside edge, like squares him up, 0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:13.920 takes him out. 0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:14.120 Of the club. 0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:16.520 You have to go back to Richmond Webb to watch 0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:18.680 a left tackle play the way that toront Armstead does 0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:21.560 in this organization. Like it's so good man Kendall Lamb, 0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:24.040 what an asset he has been. His first play of 0:31:24.080 --> 0:31:26.840 the game was this was a red zone run from Raheem. 0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:28.320 Most of that winds up going to like the two 0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:30.600 yard line and he gets the critical block. Why to 0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:33.320 the numbers, Like, what a valuable piece he's been to 0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:35.040 be that swing tackle all year long. We've needed him 0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:38.520 all year long. Total numbers toront Armstead one pressure, Austin 0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:41.080 had one in his short brief appearance. Lamb had two 0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:43.720 on the interior cotton of Liam both had three pressures allowed, 0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:46.320 and Robert Jones had one pressure allowed. Let's go ahead 0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:47.800 and take our last break right there. Come back on 0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:49.680 the other side to the defense and the snap counts. 0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:52.680 That's all next Draft Time Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, 0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:58.720 brought to you by Auto Nation, finishing up this week 0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:02.000 fifteen film audition of the Draft Time Podcast on the 0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:03.040 defense side of the football. 0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:05.800 And everybody who was worried about. 0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:07.640 This game all week long, all the tweets, all that 0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:09.560 we're gonna lose out even though we're nine point favorites 0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:12.480 against the New York Jets. I kept trying to remind you, guys. 0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:13.920 I wouldn't put it on social but I would tell 0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:17.280 you in person. Hey, their quarterback is Zach Wilson. So 0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:19.160 the fumble he starts the game with like there is 0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:21.920 no business doing anything but wrapping up the football in 0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:24.720 that spot. It's a seven point bad decision, just awful. 0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:27.720 The next drive, first down, Garrett Wilson has a great route, 0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:30.240 the best route he's ran all year against Jalen Ramsey. 0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:30.960 That turns him around. 0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:33.160 But because this quarterback has to see it happen before 0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:36.040 he throws it, that extra second to process that he 0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:39.480 takes it forces a throwaway. Like we dominated the Jets 0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:42.440 in every facet of the word, no doubt but that 0:32:42.560 --> 0:32:45.240 quarterback is terrible and that offensive line might be somehow 0:32:45.320 --> 0:32:48.520 even worse. Communication breakdowns all over the place. I'm excited 0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:50.360 to see how this Dolphins defense plays against the top 0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:52.680 offense next week because I think they are really good. 0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:55.320 But the Jets offense was as bad as Miami was 0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:57.920 good in this game. But overall, like the game plan 0:32:58.080 --> 0:32:59.800 was awesome. And then this this creates some of that too, 0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:03.840 because Wilson has never played well in terms of you know, anticipation, 0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:06.280 but the game plan that had such variety was really 0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:08.160 what I think created some of that. You get your 0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:10.680 typical zones to turn into man match, right, But the 0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:13.120 shadowing of Wilson with Jalen Ramsey for two thirds of 0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:14.880 the snaps that he was on the field, there was 0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:17.280 a man free rep where Wilson ran the deep over 0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:20.800 and Ramsey is like closer to Garrett Wilson than the 0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:23.160 towel that's tucked into those waist pants, the waste of 0:33:23.200 --> 0:33:26.600 his pants. Like, it was so impressive to watch the 0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:28.760 way he ran with Garrett Wilson, and it was connected 0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:30.600 on the back end, which tells me that those breakdowns 0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:32.800 and big plays last week were more of a function 0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:35.040 of losing guy's mid game and trying to make it 0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:35.560 up on the fly. 0:33:35.800 --> 0:33:37.040 Let's go through this notes real quick. 0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:39.840 So the defensive line, there's just so much flexibility in 0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:41.680 terms of where guys can align, and they play together 0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:45.280 so well, their pursuit, their fundamentals, the selfless approach. They've 0:33:45.360 --> 0:33:48.080 been on it all year, and that's how you produce, 0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:52.720 you know, from different guys having multiple big games every 0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:54.720 you know, the whole year. It's why we have so 0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.200 many guys that have big numbers. Everyone's eating forty eight 0:33:57.280 --> 0:34:00.520 sacks is second NFL one hundred and seventeen qbhait first. 0:34:00.720 --> 0:34:04.200 And I already talked about Christian Wilkins. I guess rayk 0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:06.040 one had a rake one game. But Zach sealler Man 0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:08.640 truly a bowl and a china shop, just a ball 0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:11.000 of chaos. He's so damn powerful that every time he 0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:13.800 connects with someone, they feel it like they gets not 0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:16.480 knock back. But he has a unique balance that allows 0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:19.120 him to use that power to just clabber through people 0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:21.279 on his way to affect the quarterback. And his sack 0:34:21.440 --> 0:34:24.160 was just him basically walking his man back, walking his 0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:25.800 man back, get off the block and go make the 0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:28.879 tackle stack, peak, shed finish. They work on that all 0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:31.520 off season and you see it payoff throughout the entire 0:34:31.600 --> 0:34:33.880 NFL season. Four pressures and one stop for Zach Sealer 0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:36.319 in this game. The off ball linebackers that I love 0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:39.560 in this game, well, I guess Gink's more of an 0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:41.680 on ball linebacker, but how about his coverage Rip just 0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:43.440 shows you a little bit of everything every week. Right 0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:45.040 did it with a broken nose too, by the way, 0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:47.080 that happened in the first quarter. Like football players man, 0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:49.479 he had sex pressures, was second on the team, also 0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:51.200 got doubled a lot and messed up the connection of 0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:53.279 their offensive line a lot. So Gink not the big 0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:55.480 sack numbers, but he was impactful in this game. I 0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:57.839 thought David Long was fantastic once again. I never get 0:34:57.880 --> 0:34:59.839 sick of watching how quick he is. He's so fast 0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:02.480 he can break down and change direction with an athletic quarterback, 0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:04.480 which we're gonna need over the last two games of 0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:06.879 the season in the playoffs as well. But the way 0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:08.960 he also has no issues smacking a tight end or 0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.560 guard at the point of attack. David Long with James 0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:14.360 Cook and Josh Allen Lamar Jackson coming up like gonna 0:35:14.360 --> 0:35:16.080 be a big key in those games. Three stops and 0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:18.520 two pressures for him. I think we got better at 0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:22.359 linebacker with Duke Riley. I mean, he continues to show 0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:24.880 a real feel for this defense. He does a good 0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:27.000 job taking himself for the play before it even happens, 0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:29.120 if that makes sense, Like he doesn't get stuck in 0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:32.120 false steps, stays low, flows towards the flow of the play, 0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:35.719 you know, funny enough, and then the moment he gets 0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:37.840 a key like a pulling guard or whatever it is, 0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:39.719 it's fire the gun and go. And I love the 0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:42.360 way he attacks shallow crosses in the hook zones. So 0:35:42.440 --> 0:35:46.319 many linebackers, some guys in our own team wait until 0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:48.200 the football's out, then they react and they overrun the 0:35:48.239 --> 0:35:49.520 play and it's out the gate. 0:35:49.719 --> 0:35:51.920 But he anticipates it so well. And what an athlete 0:35:52.000 --> 0:35:52.239 he is. 0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:54.520 He's been exceptional from the moment we lost our own 0:35:54.560 --> 0:35:57.920 Baker back in Washington. Two stops, thirty four coverage snaps. 0:35:57.920 --> 0:35:59.640 They are one for three with six yards, and that 0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:02.400 six completion was short of the sticks with his tackle 0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:05.480 on third down in the secondary Ramsey, there are just 0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:08.239 reps where Garrett Wilson had to shut down shop like 0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:11.360 pressed widened, no speed, and we'd come to a stalemate 0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:14.239 and the play's over. Then he's passing off in someone 0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:17.560 else's own generating depth, taking away backside crossing routes, fallowing 0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:19.360 twenty five yards down the field to pick up that 0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:22.759 backside crosser. Just a master class from Jalen Ramsey. We 0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:26.280 rattled off the shadow stats up top thirty seven coverage snaps, 0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:28.359 one target in the game, no catches on the year. 0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:31.719 Quarterbacks are eleven for twenty seven with a buck fifty two, 0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:35.320 zero touchdowns, three picks. It's a nineteen point nine passer 0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:38.560 rating against He's all world man. I thought cater Co 0:36:38.680 --> 0:36:41.120 who had some good reps consistently in good position and 0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:43.000 we don't know the calls, but it looked like he 0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:44.920 was very on top of his stuff in terms of 0:36:44.960 --> 0:36:46.920 where he was supposed to pass off, where do I 0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:48.960 pick up, which was not the case last week. So 0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:50.920 good to see that there. And I thought Elijah Campbell 0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:52.560 played a big role in that as well. He had 0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:54.560 the awesome pass breakup coming from depth in the game. 0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:56.800 Eli Apple, I thought was his best game as a 0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:59.600 Miami Dolphin. Quick and decisive, kept things in front, fired 0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:01.760 his gun to go get downhill in those short passes, 0:37:02.000 --> 0:37:04.640 had a great pass breakup on third down that creates 0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:07.759 a punting situation. Good job by Eli Apple. And then 0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:10.440 Brandon Jones two picks obviously the headliner are there for him. 0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:12.520 But he made an open field tackle on Dalvin Cooking 0:37:12.600 --> 0:37:15.240 space on a screen that I thought looked like vintage 0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:17.480 of Brandon Jones. So fast and so physical, which is 0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:20.880 where I prefer he plays two picks, three stops, second 0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:22.640 on the team in the game in that regard, great 0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:24.960 stuff all around. How about snap counts, So we know 0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:26.200 we had a bunch of guys that didn't play the 0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:29.439 entire game, right, so the offensive line only two guys 0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:32.120 went the distance that was Cotton and Jones. Eickenberg missed 0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:33.600 five snaps towards the end. They took him out of 0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:36.640 the game there late, So your guy Jonathan Harrison got 0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:38.960 some snaps late in the game. We also had Tron 0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:41.000 Arms had played fifty three so most of the game 0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:42.680 before he exited, but it sounds like he's gonna be 0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:44.960 just fine. Austin Jackson was the one that missed the most. 0:37:45.000 --> 0:37:47.920 He played half the game after taking the injury. Tua 0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:50.480 played fifty three snaps. Mike White played the rest of them, 0:37:50.520 --> 0:37:53.520 which is whereas it eight snaps the running back rotation 0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:57.000 moster got fifty four percent of the workload eight forty percent. 0:37:57.400 --> 0:37:59.120 Have to imagine that we see both those guys get 0:37:59.160 --> 0:38:01.719 more work here in these bigger, you know, better team 0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:05.000 games down the stretch. Where else was alec Ingold at 0:38:05.120 --> 0:38:07.640 thirty one percent of the snaps and then Jeff Wilson 0:38:07.680 --> 0:38:10.040 got eight snaps in the game. Everyone got snaps in 0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:12.720 this game, man, The receiver workload went Jalen Waddle played 0:38:12.719 --> 0:38:15.719 two thirds of the snaps, Barrios played forty percent, that's 0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:20.200 the same number as chosen. And then where was Cedric Wilson, Sorry, guys, 0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:22.640 wilsonacks Will played the most snaps. He played three fourths 0:38:22.680 --> 0:38:24.239 of the snaps in the game. That's good to see that. 0:38:24.560 --> 0:38:28.240 Craig Craft got eight reps. Tight ends Durham played seventy 0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:31.000 percent of the overall workload, Julian Hill thirty six percent, 0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:33.560 and then Tyler Croft got some action as well as well. 0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:36.520 Chase Claypool played five snaps in the game. Two On defense, 0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:38.839 both safeties went the distance, which makes sense. 0:38:38.880 --> 0:38:39.680 No Holland, no Elliott. 0:38:39.680 --> 0:38:41.520 You gotta keep those guys up playing the entire game 0:38:41.800 --> 0:38:44.120 at cornerback co who leads the way with eighty percent 0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:46.120 of the snaps. That's actually the same numbers Ramsey, so 0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:48.640 they played the same number. Eli Apple played just two 0:38:48.640 --> 0:38:51.040 snaps less than those guys, so pretty consistent effort across 0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:54.000 the board. Nick Etham got twenty five percent of the snaps. 0:38:54.040 --> 0:38:55.799 Ethan Bonner played eleven snaps in the game. 0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:57.640 It's good. Just say everyone get some action, man. It's 0:38:57.680 --> 0:38:58.640 kind of how it goes in this one. 0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:00.759 And I don't think Cam Smith play because he got injured, 0:39:00.760 --> 0:39:02.680 so he only played special team snaps in this one. 0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:07.680 The linebackers David Long played fifty four Duke Riley played 0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:09.680 forty seven snaps. Those are kind of your primary guys 0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:13.200 inside off the edge. We had Bradley Chubb playing seventy 0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:15.759 one percent of the snaps with Andrew Van Ginkle playing 0:39:15.800 --> 0:39:17.600 eighty eight percent, So that's kind of how that work 0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:20.400 has gone so far since we lost Jialen Phillips, with 0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:23.120 Emmanuel Ogba playing just four snaps before he got injured. 0:39:23.239 --> 0:39:25.400 But that means Cam Good got thirty four percent of 0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:28.560 the workload in this one. On the interior, Wilkins played 0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:31.200 seventy two percent, Seeler played seventy one percent, and Rayqwan 0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:34.359 played fifty five percent. These low snapcasts, man, that could 0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:36.360 be a big benefit going into the next week against 0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:38.480 the Dallas Cowboys, just playing fewer snaps in the game. 0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:40.759 And then Deshaun Han had sixteen snaps as well. So 0:39:40.840 --> 0:39:42.719 there you go. That's your numbers at your film review, 0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:45.359 that's your podcast. We'll come back on Wednesday and break 0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:48.319 down the Dallas Cowboys a big, big, big football game here. 0:39:48.560 --> 0:39:49.400 Cannot wait for that one. 0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:52.439 In the meantime, subscribe rate review.
