Speaker 1: You were listening to the Miami Dolphins podcast Network. This
Speaker 1: is Drive Time with Travis when Field back to throw
Speaker 1: to a looking what the wine open clutchtoup, cleric kill, unbelievable,
Speaker 1: just blue fire for a second time. Don't know where
Speaker 1: he was going right away? That the man I want
Speaker 1: to help you soon up on his bandway Wattle waddle
Speaker 1: to a shotgun back to throw looking us up fires again,
Speaker 1: It's waddle, It's six touchdown. Part of the tay Drive
Speaker 1: Time with Travis Winfield begins. Now let me check your pulse.
Speaker 1: What is up? Dolphins? And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast,
Speaker 1: part of the Miami Dolphins podcast Network, covering your team,
Speaker 1: your Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your host,
Speaker 1: Travis wingfielding. On today's show, we are peeling back the
Speaker 1: hurtain on the dolphinst to win in Chicago. We'll look
Speaker 1: at the tape, the key stats, the snap counts, and
Speaker 1: here from head coach Mike McDaniel from his Monday afternoon
Speaker 1: press conference from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist
Speaker 1: Health Training Complex. This is the Drive Time Podcast. Let's
Speaker 1: kick off this Tuesday podcast as we do every week.
Speaker 1: With the film review taking a look at the offense
Speaker 1: and first with the quarterback position into a tongue of
Speaker 1: by Loa who starts off this game with much of
Speaker 1: the same that you've come to see from him really
Speaker 1: over the course of his entire career. Three by two
Speaker 1: formation tilted towards the field, the wide side of the formation,
Speaker 1: your three receivers, your two to the back side of
Speaker 1: the formation, and the Bears drop into this tampa to look.
Speaker 1: And this play I think really exemplifies two US superpowers.
Speaker 1: As the mic linebacker is running the pipe that means
Speaker 1: down the middle of the field, your two wide safeties
Speaker 1: both have a half Your middle linebacker takes the pipe
Speaker 1: down the middle and he puts his back to the
Speaker 1: boundary side of the formation, so he is walling off
Speaker 1: anything from the field and basically saying the backside part
Speaker 1: of the formation I don't care about. So what TA
Speaker 1: does is works that field side of the formation the
Speaker 1: front side, and as he flips his alignment to go
Speaker 1: backside to go behind that linebacker who's not a factor
Speaker 1: in the boundary side of the formation. As he puts
Speaker 1: his body in alignment to attack that side of the field,
Speaker 1: he sees it at the same time, so it's all
Speaker 1: happening like onto the progression ball out like it happens
Speaker 1: that fast, that quickly, and it just puts himself in
Speaker 1: position to throw the ball as quickly as he sees it.
Speaker 1: And you'll see Waddle throttling down his route right at
Speaker 1: the numbers with the hook backer to that side of
Speaker 1: the formation, two yards inside of Jalen Waddle, so to us,
Speaker 1: hands separate at this moment, and he shoots it into
Speaker 1: the vacancy. By the time Waddle finishes his route, the
Speaker 1: football is right there to hit him and stride in
Speaker 1: that window. This is the type of execution we are
Speaker 1: getting the last two weeks on a down by down
Speaker 1: basis from number one. And the thing about it, it's
Speaker 1: a three man rush, and there's only one way you
Speaker 1: can effectively consistently beat eight man coverage with high, high
Speaker 1: level anticipation. That's what you see here, ball coming out
Speaker 1: before your receiver has cleared face or cross face of
Speaker 1: that hook linebacker. Not a lot of quarterbacks are doing
Speaker 1: that at that level. I also positively love the throw
Speaker 1: to the back pylon on the defensive pass interference called
Speaker 1: on Tyreek Hill in the end zone on that same drive,
Speaker 1: because the defender only has one move there to run
Speaker 1: as fast as he can with zero chance of getting
Speaker 1: his head back to the football. His only hope there
Speaker 1: is to meet Tyreek at the catchpoint and try to
Speaker 1: separate the hands and get get the past incompleted. So
Speaker 1: you know Tyreek the way he plays this, He knows
Speaker 1: about this, so he just comes back and plays through
Speaker 1: his man on the way to the football. It's a
Speaker 1: guaranteed defensive pass interference when you do that. So put
Speaker 1: the ball up. Let Tyreek come back. Easy pickings for
Speaker 1: easy yardage. We get another elite level execution on play
Speaker 1: two of the second drive for two a tongue of Byaloa.
Speaker 1: You get priest nap motion that tilts the formation once
Speaker 1: again three by two to the field. Your three receivers
Speaker 1: on the wide side, two to the short side, and
Speaker 1: you see Jikwan Brisker. They're very talented rookie safety and
Speaker 1: part of a too high structure. He moves to the
Speaker 1: other side of the field, now to a or I
Speaker 1: should say, to the hash to the to the hash
Speaker 1: mark to that side of the field. Now to a
Speaker 1: has Gasicky and Tyreek stacked in a condensed split to
Speaker 1: the boundary. That means they are aligned inside the numbers
Speaker 1: on the field to the short side of the field
Speaker 1: against two off zone defenders. So you basically have three
Speaker 1: on two with the safety over the top and those
Speaker 1: two off cover guys and the perimeter cornerback whose zone
Speaker 1: turns which means he puts his butt to the perimeter
Speaker 1: and he's got eyes in the quarterback that way. And
Speaker 1: then the inside guy is a linebacker, and both of
Speaker 1: them are ten yards of depth with Jakewon Brisker rotating
Speaker 1: twenty yards of depth over the top. So it's a
Speaker 1: tough window to find. But thirty three, the outside corner
Speaker 1: is incredibly wary of the lag route potentially here from
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, and so to a locks on Ghisicki into
Speaker 1: the flat and that pulls thirty three down just enough.
Speaker 1: It's one false step is all he needed. Then he
Speaker 1: rips the ball right in behind him to a location
Speaker 1: that's just too far for him to get up and
Speaker 1: get a hand on, and it's away from any potential
Speaker 1: big hit from Jakwan Brisker. I think this is the
Speaker 1: best way I can describe this. Remember how the Patriots
Speaker 1: would always play Ryan Tannehill in those games in Foxborough
Speaker 1: like eight and coverage, disguise the coverage and force him
Speaker 1: to make anticipatory throws all day. I love Tannehill, but
Speaker 1: that was not his game. To A is shredding that
Speaker 1: approach to the game positively, shredding it with elite processing,
Speaker 1: elite manipulation, and elite accuracy. He's playing like an elite
Speaker 1: quarterback because you can't blitz him either because he'll shred
Speaker 1: that too. So pick your poison with this quarterback right now,
Speaker 1: and you get it on the next play too, with
Speaker 1: something that you know. My whole to A stance has
Speaker 1: been that the reason that he doesn't get the love
Speaker 1: that I think he should get, even you know, in
Speaker 1: the last two seasons, is because the things that he
Speaker 1: does super well are not like readily apparent to your eye. Right.
Speaker 1: The same thing with the snap count or the snap
Speaker 1: issues we had in training camp, like the five high
Speaker 1: or low snaps. That's something you can tangibly point out
Speaker 1: and say, hey, that's not supposed to happen, But I
Speaker 1: don't know anything about reach techniques or you know, dropping
Speaker 1: an anchor on it, you know, an inside loop from
Speaker 1: a stunt pass rush move like the things that too
Speaker 1: does well aren't as readily apparent as you know, the
Speaker 1: big strong rocket arm that comes into play five percent
Speaker 1: of your play, like it's just in this play, and
Speaker 1: I'm talking about your hair with the innoculous looking look
Speaker 1: to the casual eye. Two receivers to the field with
Speaker 1: Surefield coming across the formation and pre snap motion, which
Speaker 1: of course gives you a three by ones here two
Speaker 1: by two motion comes over unbalanced, make it three by
Speaker 1: one and two is looking at Tyreeke and Jalen, who
Speaker 1: is the two to that side of the formation, the
Speaker 1: closest into the formation, and he can see they're facing
Speaker 1: this press man coverage with safety help over the top.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't take him more than a half a
Speaker 1: beat to recognize this and realize that nobody allowed Surefield
Speaker 1: across the formation, and so what does he do? Give
Speaker 1: it to him right away. So many times I see
Speaker 1: quarterbacks wait a beat, like maybe I can process this further,
Speaker 1: maybe they'll uncovered downfield. Okay, now I can get to
Speaker 1: my check down, and by that time, defenses will show
Speaker 1: you how fast they are because they rally up and
Speaker 1: cut that thing down before it ever has a chance
Speaker 1: to get going. So rather than catching this with people
Speaker 1: around him, surefield has some space with it. This play
Speaker 1: doesn't wind up going anywhere against two yards, but the
Speaker 1: process of having the answers getting it out fast is
Speaker 1: a highly effective process, as we'll see the rest of
Speaker 1: this game. On the very next play, you fake a
Speaker 1: give on his own read, you peek to the flat
Speaker 1: that pulls down the curl flat defender, and then you
Speaker 1: run waddle right in behind the same linebacker who's also
Speaker 1: reading the flow of that potential run. You throw it
Speaker 1: before he crossed his face. So again, on time, in stride, perfectly,
Speaker 1: in rhythm, easy as you like for a game of
Speaker 1: twenty six yards. Copy and paste that over and over
Speaker 1: and over. Did it all day long, been doing it
Speaker 1: all year long, been doing it his entire football life.
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about asking this question to coach
Speaker 1: on the touchdown throw to Tyreek Hill, but it didn't
Speaker 1: get to it, so I didn't do it. But there
Speaker 1: is a defender who was in good shape on Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill on his touchdown catch. But TWA has the ball
Speaker 1: out and under one point five seconds, and that defender
Speaker 1: jumps when the balls in the air inside to Mike
Speaker 1: Ga sicky, and that's why Tyreek was so open. It's
Speaker 1: the only thing I can think of, is that to
Speaker 1: a no looked it as the only thing that makes
Speaker 1: sense to me, or the defender just flat out busted it.
Speaker 1: But it's the only reason I can think why he
Speaker 1: would jump inside because on the play we run a
Speaker 1: muddle huddle quick to the line, snap it real quickly,
Speaker 1: and maybe that caused the confusion there because Jeff Wilson
Speaker 1: also came wide open inside on the choice route little
Speaker 1: Texas route, arrow route, whatever it's called. You know, your
Speaker 1: your wide linebacker across his face and run across the
Speaker 1: middle of the formation. He was wide open, but so
Speaker 1: was Tyreek, and I swear it had to been a
Speaker 1: no look. Pass the wheel to Tyreek. The third and
Speaker 1: six conversion is exactly what you want to see. Get
Speaker 1: that guy that open that far on field and just
Speaker 1: please don't miss him. Don't throw it too far in
Speaker 1: front where he can't make a play. You're more than
Speaker 1: willing to sacrifice the perfection of hitting him right and
Speaker 1: stride to guarantee that you not just get the first
Speaker 1: down on third down, but it winds up going for
Speaker 1: thirty seven yards. I don't know when we started scoffing
Speaker 1: at forty yard gains in this league and complain about
Speaker 1: potentially more on the back end, But I will take
Speaker 1: forty yards any day of the week. First play of
Speaker 1: the second half, he gets some pressure to it, does
Speaker 1: hitches up and resets and shoots a deep out from
Speaker 1: the far hash to Tyreeke. And the reason I wanted
Speaker 1: to put this in the notes is because last year
Speaker 1: I thought that once things broke down and he had
Speaker 1: to get realigned mechanically, that's when some issues arose. But
Speaker 1: for this particular rep, top of the drop, hitch up, reset,
Speaker 1: let that thing fly, and boy does he from his
Speaker 1: own seventeen yard line. Tyreek catches it coming out of
Speaker 1: his break at the forty five yard line. So for
Speaker 1: those scoring at home, that is a crossfield far hash
Speaker 1: throw from twenty eight yards away. That's pretty good. The
Speaker 1: touchdown passed the waddle might be my favorite play of
Speaker 1: the entire day. For two a go by Lowa. We
Speaker 1: flood that side that two of boots to the left
Speaker 1: side of the formation his strong side for the role,
Speaker 1: you know, throwing that left arm, and Gasicki's corner route
Speaker 1: takes the safety towards the back pylon and holds the
Speaker 1: corner to the front pilon say, two men occupying route
Speaker 1: from Mike Kasicki, and credit to Mike Gasicki for the
Speaker 1: routes he runs. We'll talk about that more in a second.
Speaker 1: And the entire receiver's room and tight end's room, the
Speaker 1: routes they run to create space. We're gonna talk to
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel about that here in the final segment as well,
Speaker 1: as he gave a great answer for what that entails
Speaker 1: and how you get guys to do that. And Tyreek
Speaker 1: runs his route right behind the hook backer, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk about Tyrek and what he does in these creating
Speaker 1: space chance type of routes as well. But from their
Speaker 1: Wattle is operating in vacated space and two us sees
Speaker 1: us all play out and throws it right where the
Speaker 1: safety or I shouldn't say right when the safety goes
Speaker 1: for width and depth covering Ghasicki and the timing by
Speaker 1: Wattle to settle it into the zone and to come
Speaker 1: back to the football and get it is top notch stuff.
Speaker 1: We'll break that one down more. And and Wattle and
Speaker 1: Ghasiki's portion of this I think Tyreek to because I
Speaker 1: talked about all of those guys running really good routes.
Speaker 1: We get to the first miss I've seen on this
Speaker 1: tape for two and it comes with eleven minutes and
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds and the third quarter. It's an over out
Speaker 1: to Waddle. The one that he nearly caught looked like
Speaker 1: it was picked wind up getting popped out late and
Speaker 1: going incomplete. I thought too, it was just a hair
Speaker 1: late to deliver that football. Wattle has free access inside
Speaker 1: against off coverage, and the mic linebacker has already washed
Speaker 1: down inside on play action. So with Tyreek running the
Speaker 1: backside corner out of the play to a could have
Speaker 1: thrown this thing to the space that he eventually did
Speaker 1: throw it too with loft and touch before Waddle got
Speaker 1: to that first hash before he crossed the first hash mark.
Speaker 1: But he waits until Wattle is on the second hash marks,
Speaker 1: so he's crossed the middle of the field, and that's
Speaker 1: gives Brisker just enough time to get depth and make
Speaker 1: a play. To me, this is the equivalent of walking
Speaker 1: a batter like in the top of the sixth inning,
Speaker 1: to break up your perfect game. He was throwing a
Speaker 1: perfect game and he walked somebody and then got out
Speaker 1: of the out of the ending, So it's not a
Speaker 1: big deal to me. You're gonna have your misses. So
Speaker 1: I'm all over the place here. But look, I thought
Speaker 1: we all came to an understanding that every quarterback missed
Speaker 1: like two, three, four, sometimes ten throws a game, depending
Speaker 1: on how good they are, like every quarterback in the league,
Speaker 1: every single game we watch. I thought we agreed upon
Speaker 1: that the last time we all watched a primetime game together,
Speaker 1: But maybe I'm wrong. Happens every game for every quarterback
Speaker 1: to was first one, in my opinion, came early third
Speaker 1: quarter and I had him with three total on the day,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I really liked his throwaway on second and
Speaker 1: six on that same drive, right before the Jeff Wilson
Speaker 1: touchdown two it gets pressure steps around a sack and
Speaker 1: there is nothing open, so he puts it in the bleachers. Great.
Speaker 1: When you're playing this efficiently, I think it makes even
Speaker 1: more sense than normal to live to fight another day.
Speaker 1: And he did and we did. And again the timing
Speaker 1: the ball is out on the Wilson touchdown the minute
Speaker 1: he puts his foot in the ground and breaks it
Speaker 1: to the outside and gets up to the perimeter. The
Speaker 1: ball's a tad low, but it's on the right shoulder,
Speaker 1: the upfield shoulder, which all was Wilson to turn it up,
Speaker 1: put the hand down and lunch for the end zone.
Speaker 1: Another three touchdown day for two, and talk about man.
Speaker 1: I think if Jalen keeps running on the deep shop,
Speaker 1: we've got the d p I on, we might have
Speaker 1: had an eighty two yard touchdown, a potential fourth touchdown
Speaker 1: for two on the day. He puts that ball on
Speaker 1: the opposing thirty yard line from his own ten. It's
Speaker 1: a sixty yard air yard shop, but it's only fifty
Speaker 1: two because he's eight yards behind the line. But you
Speaker 1: get it, and then a man in the fourth down
Speaker 1: miss of Derham Smith is harder to watch on tape
Speaker 1: than it was the broadcast. All the attention is flowing
Speaker 1: the other way to Tyreek and Jalen, and Smith gets
Speaker 1: lost in the sauce coming across the formation the opposite direction.
Speaker 1: He's the only person white jersey or Navy blue jersey
Speaker 1: running in that direction. There's nobody over there. And I
Speaker 1: think when he picks his head up is just when
Speaker 1: two goes to throw the football and it caused this,
Speaker 1: like misfiring of the wires of like oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: what come back? And the ball winds up going short
Speaker 1: and Two has a nice pocket and maybe if he
Speaker 1: stays in there and sets his feet and he throws it,
Speaker 1: him stays on his track. But Durham went wobbly up
Speaker 1: and down that line. Took his head off the court,
Speaker 1: his eyes off the quarterback. I don't understand that. I
Speaker 1: don't understand why you would do that. Maybe he thought
Speaker 1: there was gonna be a scramble, but with the way
Speaker 1: that play flowed, there was. Man, we gotta have that
Speaker 1: conversion and that's a big, big miss, And stay on
Speaker 1: your track, man. Then the thing about the third down
Speaker 1: deep shot to Waddle is that it looks like just
Speaker 1: like you draw it up, like Wattle gets his gets
Speaker 1: free before the sticks, His release is fantastic to it
Speaker 1: lets it fly with plenty of time, Like Two is
Speaker 1: already separating his hands when Jalen is five yards shy
Speaker 1: of the stick, so he's only five yards down the field.
Speaker 1: The past winds up being two yards short of where
Speaker 1: it needed to go. But like, let's not make a
Speaker 1: thing out of this, right because again quarterbacks miss throws.
Speaker 1: That's all this is. Excuse me, I really don't want
Speaker 1: to hear about the arm, because that dude threw the
Speaker 1: ball sixty yards down the field on the d p
Speaker 1: I to waddle earlier in the game. It's a tough miss,
Speaker 1: but I would say it really was one of three
Speaker 1: misses in the quarterback all day A rate, great great tape,
Speaker 1: elite anticipation, manipulation, accuracy is making two an elite quarterback
Speaker 1: in two. Tyreek Hill so many plays in this offense
Speaker 1: work off of what he does that first third down
Speaker 1: conversion where he squats at the sticks and draws a bracket.
Speaker 1: We run trent sherfield right behind that on the skinny post.
Speaker 1: And what I love about this most is that Tyreek
Speaker 1: doesn't just like run the target or the route at
Speaker 1: the depth that he's been coached too. He adjusts it
Speaker 1: to most influence the defense. Like he doesn't just stop
Speaker 1: and give up when you know, trying to garner their attention.
Speaker 1: He runs this little stick route at four yards. Then
Speaker 1: you see the defense kind of off of him, so
Speaker 1: he takes this hot step back and like engages them,
Speaker 1: like puts his back on their on their like hands,
Speaker 1: and they it sucks him up. It kind of velcros
Speaker 1: the defense to him and creates that space accordingly behind
Speaker 1: them as they react, so it occupies their attention to
Speaker 1: create space elsewhere. The wheel route off the rub from
Speaker 1: the bunch is such a great route from Tyree. We
Speaker 1: talk all the time about backers scraping off blocks. You
Speaker 1: want to stay as tight to the man as you
Speaker 1: can to get the best potential gap because windows in
Speaker 1: this league are slim. Tyreek does that on a delayed
Speaker 1: release where he lets the rub happen through the Bear's
Speaker 1: coverage and it puts him in a foot race, not
Speaker 1: where you want to be against Tyreek Hill. But the
Speaker 1: way he stayed in tight to that bunch in that
Speaker 1: rub made that whole thing happened. The opening play of
Speaker 1: the second half is ridiculous. It's a deep out from
Speaker 1: the far hash, but Tyreek runs it in a way
Speaker 1: to give to us such a big window to work with.
Speaker 1: The corner is butt to the sideline zone turn you know,
Speaker 1: zone with the middle of the field close. What does
Speaker 1: that mean? Single high safety park in the middle of
Speaker 1: the football field so you can't throw your posts and
Speaker 1: steam routes. Tyreek threatens to the post, and even though
Speaker 1: there's safety help, the corner is so concerned about his
Speaker 1: speed that he takes off and runs inside. As soon
Speaker 1: as he does that, Tyreek throttles down goes back out wide.
Speaker 1: He is so tough to cover man. Then check out
Speaker 1: his route. On the Jeff Wilson touchdown, the corner wants
Speaker 1: to press and give him access outside, so ty takes it.
Speaker 1: But again, rather than running away from him and potentially
Speaker 1: getting the defensive back's attention elsewhere, he stays engaged. He
Speaker 1: dips that right shoulder right into the dB and like
Speaker 1: tucks into him as he pushes up field, which the
Speaker 1: cornerback says, I better stay in phase right here. He's
Speaker 1: trying to get a back shoulder ball or something or
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on a highlight reel. I don't want that.
Speaker 1: And what it does is clears up space for Wilson
Speaker 1: to run a choice route on a linebacker, which is
Speaker 1: a great great route when you know you're grunning it
Speaker 1: for your teammate, not for yourself. For Tyreek Hill, what
Speaker 1: a player this guy is. How about Jalen Waddle? His
Speaker 1: touchdown was excellent, excellent spatial awareness. Coming back to the football,
Speaker 1: you see him work off of Tyreek doing that thing
Speaker 1: we just broke down where he kind of slow plays
Speaker 1: to the spot and then once two rips it, he
Speaker 1: turns the jets back on and goes and attacks the football.
Speaker 1: Great play from a great receiver. The whip route to
Speaker 1: convert on third down on our final touchdown drive, he
Speaker 1: has off coverage and waddle shows an over out off
Speaker 1: the release, takes that left foot and crosses, crosses over
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna get to the inside part of the field,
Speaker 1: and you see the corner jump way inside. He takes
Speaker 1: that cheese way inside the minute he does that while
Speaker 1: puts his foot in the ground and he's moving back
Speaker 1: to the perimeter before the corner can even change direction
Speaker 1: out of the misstep that he took. It's the easiest
Speaker 1: third down conversion to it has had all season. And
Speaker 1: then again, his release on the third and eleven play
Speaker 1: was absolutely superb. Just left his man in the dust,
Speaker 1: swipe the hands, got that inside shoulder up the on
Speaker 1: the upfield shoulder of the defensive back stacked him from there.
Speaker 1: We want that one back. How can you not love
Speaker 1: Trent surefield Man the opening drive where he knocks Jack
Speaker 1: Sanborne down on a crackback block and then makes a
Speaker 1: tough catch in traffic on third and seven to move
Speaker 1: the chains and it comes off another cool design where
Speaker 1: Tyreek does that same thing where he pulls the defense in.
Speaker 1: So this receiving corps man Cedric Wilson, you know, had
Speaker 1: a couple of catches as well. This receiving corps really
Speaker 1: got after it in this game. Deep into the podcast here,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and take our first break. We'll come
Speaker 1: back and break down the rest of the offense and
Speaker 1: to the defense as well. That's next Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 1: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 1: We cover the quarterback and the wide receivers. Go ahead
Speaker 1: and pick it up with the running backs. Here for
Speaker 1: your Chicago Bears Week nine Dolphins thirty five thirty two
Speaker 1: victory film breakdown. We start with Jeff Wilson and man,
Speaker 1: how about that blitz pick up he had coming across
Speaker 1: the formation and burying the edge right in front of two.
Speaker 1: It's off play action and the Bears blitz a corner
Speaker 1: which can be a problem for bootlegs, but he flies
Speaker 1: all the way across the formation and tandem with Rob
Speaker 1: Hunt and lays out, he dives for a block and
Speaker 1: takes the cornerback off his feet in the act. His
Speaker 1: twenty eight yard rush was just hat on hat execution.
Speaker 1: You had Armstead and Jones double the backside. Armstead gives
Speaker 1: this really good shove to the three technique which allows
Speaker 1: Rob Jones to bury him. And then Rob comes off
Speaker 1: of that block and washes down the mic linebacker who
Speaker 1: tried to shoot that gap. So really two for three
Speaker 1: there for your Dolphins left tackle left guard combination. On
Speaker 1: the front side, Connor Williams moves his man down a
Speaker 1: couple of gaps and you get an excellent downfield block
Speaker 1: from Cedric Wilson. He was one step away, Jeff Wilson
Speaker 1: was from running that thing in for six, but good
Speaker 1: stop by Eddie Jackson. Very next play, Wilson does what
Speaker 1: backs need to do, makes a man miss at the
Speaker 1: point and turns a well fit played by the Bears
Speaker 1: defense from a potential no gain into a seven yard run.
Speaker 1: And then the effort on the touchdown catch speaks for itself.
Speaker 1: Ball a little bit low, digs it out, stays on
Speaker 1: his feet, finds the pilot. What a play, What a player.
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson looks to be alec Ingolds, a destroyer of worlds.
Speaker 1: His first block of the game, he just leads it
Speaker 1: up in the sea gap and wipes a dude out.
Speaker 1: And he's so consistently gets these late chips on guys
Speaker 1: and pass pro that just afford to an extra half second.
Speaker 1: What a valuable addition he has been. Now, he did
Speaker 1: miss a block that I think would have sprung Raheem
Speaker 1: for a touchdown run on that two minute drill inside
Speaker 1: the twenty yard line, just whipped it, would have hit it,
Speaker 1: maybe had a big block for a touchdown run there,
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna hit him all. Connor Williams that
Speaker 1: thirteen ish yard run by Wilson on the two minute
Speaker 1: drive at the end of the first half, he takes
Speaker 1: the one technique and reaches him and wipes him out
Speaker 1: for a huge gap for that run for Wilson. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can explain, you know how
Speaker 1: consistently he hits that block. It the toughest block for
Speaker 1: a center who has to snap the football and then
Speaker 1: get a cross face of a guy who has you outflanked,
Speaker 1: and if he gets a good get off, you have
Speaker 1: such a tough task of getting across face, but he
Speaker 1: does it so effectively every single time. Now, I will
Speaker 1: concede that for the first time all year, a bad
Speaker 1: snap cost us that ball hit to his ankle and
Speaker 1: it put us in fourth and medium after being in
Speaker 1: third and short. So bad snap got us on that
Speaker 1: one first time in nine weeks. Wow, big deal Rob
Speaker 1: Jones on that same thirteen yard run from uh I
Speaker 1: think it was Wilson. Yeah, he blocks out the sun
Speaker 1: on a second level down block on a linebacker. Also
Speaker 1: had a really nice combo block on a run late
Speaker 1: in the third quarter where he uses that massive width
Speaker 1: and base to really put himself into situations where he
Speaker 1: can square guys up at the first level. How about
Speaker 1: Tron Armstead's game to us completion to Wilson on the
Speaker 1: second drive where he got called for re from the
Speaker 1: pastor is a great example of what Tahron does to
Speaker 1: make the whole offense better. He starts the wrap off
Speaker 1: by squeezing inside the the inside post of Rob Jones
Speaker 1: his left foot, which you know, if you have potential,
Speaker 1: you know cross face or rush game. The tackle wants
Speaker 1: to squeeze and help that guard on a bigger body
Speaker 1: is kind of make gonna bull rush and try to
Speaker 1: displace the offensive line's pass pro wall. And the Bears
Speaker 1: see this open path around the outside because Toron has
Speaker 1: squeezed it and they want to win with speed. But
Speaker 1: to Ron is perfect in his mechanics. He swings open
Speaker 1: that left hip, gets to depth, gets to his landmark,
Speaker 1: and realizes he needs to get deeper. You see him
Speaker 1: kind of bring the hands out and then like put
Speaker 1: him back, like I can't do this yet because I
Speaker 1: have to get in a better position before I engage
Speaker 1: this dude. So he turns and gets to a spot
Speaker 1: and gets a push on the edge right before he
Speaker 1: gets it to helping inside, recovering outside. That's elite man.
Speaker 1: His pass pro on the wheel to Tyreek as well
Speaker 1: was so so good. He's not just winning reps, he's
Speaker 1: cutting rushers down before they can even get him to
Speaker 1: retreat or like, you know, displace the anchor. It just
Speaker 1: gives to a more room to operate with. How about
Speaker 1: Brandon Shell who overran a block on one of the
Speaker 1: first players of the game on the opening drive That
Speaker 1: might have sprung a long run, But after that I
Speaker 1: thought he was aces his rep on the Raheem touchdown
Speaker 1: run was text book. Washed a man down two gaps,
Speaker 1: playing from his base and generating that power up through
Speaker 1: the knees, up through the hips, up through the shoulders,
Speaker 1: and threw his punch knocked him out of the play completely.
Speaker 1: You also get a great seal from Connor Williams on
Speaker 1: that play, a perfect pull and seal from Rob Jones.
Speaker 1: Really good backside wall off by Tehran and Raheem had
Speaker 1: great vision to drop his shoulder into a location where
Speaker 1: he couldn't get squared up touchdown both ns uh Shell
Speaker 1: also had an awesome pass pro rep where his punch
Speaker 1: got knocked back just like knocked the dude off of
Speaker 1: his rush altogether. Then he sees a looper from the
Speaker 1: front side of the formation and goes and close him off.
Speaker 1: Him and Rob Hunt have been really good working on games,
Speaker 1: and this whole line has like wins where they make
Speaker 1: two blocks in one play. It's been fun to watch.
Speaker 1: They did have one rep on the two minute drive
Speaker 1: where two I had to throw it away where they
Speaker 1: split Rob Hunt and Brendan Shell with the four eye.
Speaker 1: That was the one mistake I really had from that
Speaker 1: side of the offensive line as a combo. Speaking of
Speaker 1: Rob Hunt, he has some disrespectful pass pro reps. Man
Speaker 1: the opening third down play, he one hand punch stifles
Speaker 1: the defensive tag goal, shuffles his feet to get back square,
Speaker 1: and then winds up getting the rusher back and do
Speaker 1: his belly like when when the rusher's back is to you,
Speaker 1: it's a great place to be. Just basically ends the rep.
Speaker 1: Rob did that because of a devastating punch to start
Speaker 1: this pass pro rep. Let's go to Mike Gasicki, who
Speaker 1: had a quiet day catching the football, but his effort
Speaker 1: on a third down conversion of Tyreek on that last
Speaker 1: touchdown drive really helps clear that space. Tyreek winds up
Speaker 1: one on one on the linebacker as the three receiver
Speaker 1: to the field, so that means closest to the formation
Speaker 1: right the receiver closest to your right tackle, and Mike
Speaker 1: is the two, so he's the slot guy among the
Speaker 1: three over there. Uh, he must clear out that corner.
Speaker 1: So what he does is presses the toes of that
Speaker 1: corner who has outside leverage by running straight at him,
Speaker 1: and that forces the dB to initiate contact on him.
Speaker 1: Then he bends his route back to the post and
Speaker 1: it removed him entirely, which gave Tyreek a one on
Speaker 1: one chance against Jack Sanborn. Game over right there. Good
Speaker 1: job at Mike Sicky. I think the fourth down miss, though,
Speaker 1: is why we don't see more targets here, because you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to be able to generate more separation in
Speaker 1: this league if you're going to get those types of
Speaker 1: you know, one on one looks, and we had no
Speaker 1: separation on that play too. I tried it and it
Speaker 1: winds up being a miss. Hunter Along had himself a
Speaker 1: really nice block in space on that late run by
Speaker 1: Raheem for eight yards right before the fourth down stop
Speaker 1: on the past of Durham Smith. He comes across the
Speaker 1: formation and carried his block throughout the whistle offensively. In general,
Speaker 1: the second drive, first play, we throw a swing route
Speaker 1: to Tyreek kill against the flow of outside zone the
Speaker 1: other direction, and you see the entire box count of
Speaker 1: the Bears false step. You get a great block out
Speaker 1: wide by Sherefield. It's an easy eight yards. Look. This
Speaker 1: is the game of Jimmy's and Joe's right, But man,
Speaker 1: these built in yardage eaters are a nice way to
Speaker 1: get your players the maximum number of chances to make
Speaker 1: the big plays, particularly putting yourself so far ahead of
Speaker 1: the chains like that it's easy pickings. It's a good
Speaker 1: combo of execution but also scheming in easy games for
Speaker 1: the offense, and then give the line in general credit
Speaker 1: for the way they fire off the football man. A
Speaker 1: lot of these clean pockets come from play action slides
Speaker 1: where it's just like I mean, the past rush is
Speaker 1: basically negated by the fact that you ran that play
Speaker 1: action slide like they're materializing by creating hesitation from the
Speaker 1: defensive line up front, and the way our guys come
Speaker 1: off the ball with purpose in the run game and
Speaker 1: on play action has a lot to do with that.
Speaker 1: I think what you've got is the tackle play has
Speaker 1: been really good on both sides, holding up on an
Speaker 1: island by themselves consistently, and then the middle three guys
Speaker 1: are playing so well in their communication passing off, and
Speaker 1: it's just creating constant clean pockets for two h Even
Speaker 1: more impressive when you consider you worked in a new
Speaker 1: left guard this week and Rob Jones and really didn't
Speaker 1: miss a beat. Let's go ahead and turn it over
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football fund tape for the
Speaker 1: offense not so much for the defense. I will say,
Speaker 1: you know, let's talk about them in general here. First,
Speaker 1: some really cool packages on the opening third down stop.
Speaker 1: We had Ougba, Phillips, and Chubb upfront with Wilkins, so
Speaker 1: your three edge kind of Nascar rushers with Christian Wilkins inside,
Speaker 1: and then Duke Riley and Channing Tinda were the off
Speaker 1: ball linebackers. That's about as much speed and pass rush
Speaker 1: ability as any team could put on the field on
Speaker 1: one rep, and they got off the field on that play.
Speaker 1: But this game was all about the quarterback run. And
Speaker 1: I can't really even pinpoint big airs and just say
Speaker 1: it's not good enough. Like it's obviously mistackles and bad angles,
Speaker 1: all the things that go into big rushing performances. But like,
Speaker 1: also that's what players like this dude do. They are
Speaker 1: angle killers. They are often put in wide open spaces
Speaker 1: when the play breaks down because of the nature of
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, and it's so dang tough to contend with.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you have to just conceive that you
Speaker 1: can't do anything to stop it against a guy like this,
Speaker 1: but it sure as hell isn't easy. This defense has
Speaker 1: been integral and multiple wins this year, So I think
Speaker 1: the overreactions are a bit much, and I would be
Speaker 1: very surprised if they don't get it right right away.
Speaker 1: You can obviously learn from every tape, but I'm just
Speaker 1: not so sure. This is one of them where you
Speaker 1: take a lot away from because you know it could
Speaker 1: be wrong here. But there was so much in this
Speaker 1: game plan that I just don't think more than two
Speaker 1: or three quarterbacks in the league can execute the design runs,
Speaker 1: the boot action, his ability to throw on the move,
Speaker 1: to drop the arm angle. He's an insanely talented quarterback
Speaker 1: and a lot of that stuff that they hit on
Speaker 1: is orchestrated to that very unique skill set. I'll mention
Speaker 1: the numbers against traditional poth sing and running in the
Speaker 1: stats portion of the podcast, but not many players can
Speaker 1: operate an offense like that one the fields did, and
Speaker 1: not there's no players on Miami schedule the rest of
Speaker 1: the way that play that style of football. The sixty
Speaker 1: one yard touchdown run, I'm just not sure how many
Speaker 1: quarterbacks we'll see jump and fake a throw, hit the
Speaker 1: ground and take off with four four speed. That got
Speaker 1: the slightest bit of hesitation from Jerome and Duke and
Speaker 1: that's all that four four speed needs. Chicago emptied the
Speaker 1: entire playbook. Man, they pulled out all the razzle dazzle.
Speaker 1: Feel that a very rare athlete do his thing, and
Speaker 1: boy did he. My thoughts on this game as tip
Speaker 1: of the cap, and move on. I'm glad we won.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the individual moments. Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 1: You felt his presence almost immediately. The Bears first third down,
Speaker 1: He's one on one against the left tackle. He gets
Speaker 1: a hit on Justin Fields after engaging the tackle with
Speaker 1: a left hand and the right hand and quick succession
Speaker 1: one one to whoop and then playing through his base
Speaker 1: to run the tackle right into the quarterback chucks him
Speaker 1: aside and puts a hit on Fields. His work on
Speaker 1: that early option play to string out both the pitch
Speaker 1: and the ball carrier. Elite level reaction and athletic ability
Speaker 1: on display there. Speaking of those two trades, Jalen Phillips
Speaker 1: does so much that I don't think gets enough love.
Speaker 1: The Bears pulled a guard at him, and he goes
Speaker 1: and gets the blocker and sets a hard edge like
Speaker 1: don't let him get into your body, go get him,
Speaker 1: and he does that and forces the back to bubble
Speaker 1: and eventually bend it right back into Zach Seeler. On
Speaker 1: the first really magical run of the day for Justin Fields,
Speaker 1: Phillips tosses the Bears left guard again rushing from a
Speaker 1: condensed uh set or alignment and has a shot at Fields,
Speaker 1: but he makes JP miss. Gosh, he's so tough, but
Speaker 1: also gosh, Phillips has some great reps once again. Man,
Speaker 1: he had a sack, but the right tackle tackles him
Speaker 1: right in front of the quarterback. But that penalty put
Speaker 1: them behind the chains and effectively ruined the rest of
Speaker 1: that drive. And on the next play he flagged down
Speaker 1: a jet sweep to Chase Claypool where he literally was
Speaker 1: out flanked and ran him down from behind in a
Speaker 1: full sprint. He is incredible, man, Christian Wilkins, you know
Speaker 1: on carriages by the backs, the traditional looks. He was
Speaker 1: once again consistently able to thwart blocks. Normally he gets
Speaker 1: his quick one gap wins, he gets his stack and
Speaker 1: shed two gap plays where he comes off the block
Speaker 1: and makes a tackle, but he had a couple of
Speaker 1: snaps in this game where he just shed his man immediately.
Speaker 1: Then he is the gap like just chilling number ninety
Speaker 1: four waiting for him unblocked, and he makes a couple
Speaker 1: of plays doing that. Zack Steeler's tape is often my
Speaker 1: favorite on defense. The Bear second drive starts with the
Speaker 1: run stuff and you see Seiler's length just stand out.
Speaker 1: But there's a muck of bodies in the pile, and
Speaker 1: you see this right arm just jamming up the shore
Speaker 1: pad of the Bears left guard, jamming up that shoulder pad,
Speaker 1: standing him up and riding him down the way for
Speaker 1: a tackle on the other side of the formation. Think
Speaker 1: ray Kuan Davis doesn't get enough love for what he
Speaker 1: does weekly against double teams to hold his ground. He
Speaker 1: had one play where he came off for a run
Speaker 1: stuff late in the second quarter. I mentioned Channing Tendall
Speaker 1: speed on that spy on the opening drive was crazy.
Speaker 1: I thought a Landed Roberts had some good flow and
Speaker 1: scrape plays, particularly one tackle on Khalil Herbert late in
Speaker 1: the first quarter where he had to get a round
Speaker 1: to lead block, cut back underneath it, and dive inside
Speaker 1: for a tackle. Great work on that one. Also had
Speaker 1: great coverage running stride for stride twenty five yards downfilled
Speaker 1: with cole commit as a past defender. Jerome Baker I
Speaker 1: thought was excellent playing through blocks on traditional run looks.
Speaker 1: Stayed very tight to the line, got off blocks, and
Speaker 1: made some nice tackles and big spaces. Melvin ingram that
Speaker 1: sack just running right through the left tackle by dropping
Speaker 1: his inside shoulder into the chest plate, then ripping that
Speaker 1: inside arm through once he uprooted the left tackles anchor.
Speaker 1: Great job of winning a pass rush while maintaining rush
Speaker 1: lane integrity. And then Duke Riley his speed on his
Speaker 1: sack on that final drive to get a loss there
Speaker 1: from justin fields every week his speed makes an impact.
Speaker 1: You move on to the secondary. I freaking love Kater
Speaker 1: kohu Man. He shoots through a block and blows up
Speaker 1: a quick screen early in the game. So good at
Speaker 1: coming downhill and squaring up his shots. One play later,
Speaker 1: it's a defensive passe interference on Keion crossing to the
Speaker 1: other side of the field, but Cater's on the slot
Speaker 1: manned up on Darnell Mooney, the bears best receiver. He
Speaker 1: runs a slot fade and Cater stays perfectly in phase.
Speaker 1: Gets the exact same look later in the drive, and
Speaker 1: this time Fields scrambles left, so the possibility of back
Speaker 1: shoulder come back it's all there. But Cater stays right
Speaker 1: in phase, right in hip pocket. He is, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: by a massive distance, the second best cornerback on this
Speaker 1: football team. They would try him again the second quarter
Speaker 1: on takeoff route. Once again there he is. And then
Speaker 1: a big, big tackle in space on a now route
Speaker 1: on that penultimate drive, the woman get the defensive stop again.
Speaker 1: On a second and fifth team play right after Melvin
Speaker 1: ingram sec he comes in there with a play. Before
Speaker 1: the play, I thought Xavian had fantastic mirror coverage on
Speaker 1: the one on one route to the corner U to
Speaker 1: the boundary, I should say the X receiver, you know
Speaker 1: that's that's the toughest place to play in football. With
Speaker 1: no help. On the opening drive, he pins Mooney to
Speaker 1: the perimeter and made that window impossible to hit. A
Speaker 1: fantastic catch and throw by Mooney on the touchdown. Tough
Speaker 1: to run to the corner from the number three receiver
Speaker 1: position and closest to the formation, through the traffic, through
Speaker 1: the rub and defend a perfect throw. Good on Fields
Speaker 1: and Mooney, man. They made that play happen I like
Speaker 1: the way Javon Hollam recognizes the most dangerous routes in
Speaker 1: certain concept ups. On the opening drive, he passes off
Speaker 1: this vertical route that basically is away from the play
Speaker 1: and then buzzes the backside over route and comes down
Speaker 1: and takes it away, and that's why Justin Fields tucked
Speaker 1: it and had to run and couldn't move the chains.
Speaker 1: More good stuff from Javon Holland. I thought Eric Rowe
Speaker 1: played really well with the plays in front of him,
Speaker 1: recognizing the floods and boots and closing for sure tackles
Speaker 1: immediately after the catch. Also stuck his face and the
Speaker 1: fan against actual handoffs to backs to clog up the
Speaker 1: sea gaps and cut them down. He also spilled out
Speaker 1: a lead block to free up Jerome Baker to make
Speaker 1: a tackle on a toss late in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: Just does a good job weekly inserting himself against their
Speaker 1: traditional run looks. And then Elijah Campbell, he ran in
Speaker 1: and undercut a screen that forced an errant throw slash
Speaker 1: incompleation early on good instincts to recognize the play and
Speaker 1: come get it. He had some additional nice fields in
Speaker 1: the running game as well, coming from death. So look,
Speaker 1: I know I talked a lot of positives and that's
Speaker 1: this game was not a positive one for the defense.
Speaker 1: But like I said, sometimes players make plays man, justin
Speaker 1: Fields did. We got to be more consistent in our
Speaker 1: rush land integrity, our tack links, staying discipline to keep
Speaker 1: our on the ground and just make sure you wrap up.
Speaker 1: But again against actual runs and passes, you know, traditionally
Speaker 1: defense played pretty well. I thought, let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: take our last break, come back and do stats. I
Speaker 1: just want to take it very clear that like it
Speaker 1: wasn't a good performance from the defense, like Fields got you.
Speaker 1: So I just wanna make that very clear. But it's
Speaker 1: not one of the panic overs. So what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to say, let's go ahead and take our last break,
Speaker 1: come back and do stats, snap counts, and here from
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel. That's next on the Drivetime Podcast, your host
Speaker 1: Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation, Segment number
Speaker 1: three here on a Tuesday edition of the Drive Time Podcast,
Speaker 1: catching you up on the latest stats and numbers from
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus next Gen League leader boards. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and start with to and take a look at
Speaker 1: his depth of target on twenty plus or throws of
Speaker 1: twenty plus air yards, he was three for four eight
Speaker 1: two yards in a touchdown. On throws of ten to
Speaker 1: nineteen yards eight for nine for one one. On the
Speaker 1: year throws over ten yards, he's sixty four of ninety three.
Speaker 1: That's six nice one thousand, three hundred and sixty five yards.
Speaker 1: That's fourteen point seven yards per pass, and he's throwing
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns and three picks on the season. He is
Speaker 1: first in passer rating QBR yards per attempt, touchdown percentage,
Speaker 1: expected points added per play, net yards per play. He's
Speaker 1: third in completion percentage, he's tied for fourth and interception percentage,
Speaker 1: and he's fourth fewest sack percentage in the NFL. How
Speaker 1: about an update on the third down stats. He actually
Speaker 1: improved his all time standing going back uh he had
Speaker 1: a one forty two point seven passer writing coming into play.
Speaker 1: After the game, he's won forty seven point oh after
Speaker 1: going six o seven for one o nine and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: His career passer writing also moved to ninety five point three.
Speaker 1: That's the best in Miami Dolphins history. Tyreek Hill is
Speaker 1: first in receptions and yards yards per game. He's got
Speaker 1: fourteen point three more yards per game than Justin Jefferson,
Speaker 1: who's second in that category. He's first with forty eight
Speaker 1: first downs. He's first with three point eight two yards
Speaker 1: per route RAN. He's second with eleven yards per target
Speaker 1: minimum forty targets. Jaln Waddle, It's tied for tenth and
Speaker 1: catches fifth and yards. He's tied for third with six
Speaker 1: touchdown catches. He's got the fifth most first downs, the
Speaker 1: fifth most yards per game. He has the first yards
Speaker 1: per target eleven point six among receivers with forty targets.
Speaker 1: He has the third highest yards per route ran two
Speaker 1: point seven nine. Again yards per route ran. You were
Speaker 1: always going to see the best receivers in the league
Speaker 1: atop that leaderboard. Tyreek Hills one Jilan Walls number three.
Speaker 1: Together they have nineteen hundred and sixteen yards, the second
Speaker 1: most for any duo through nine games, behind only Billy
Speaker 1: Groman and Charlie Henigan, who can forget them from nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty one Houston Oilers. Tyreek already has the twelve best
Speaker 1: receiving season in team history. From a yard standpoint, he
Speaker 1: needs just two eighties six to break the single season
Speaker 1: mark thirteen eighty nine set by Mark Clayton. For the game,
Speaker 1: Tyreek and Jalen caught twelve of their fifteen targets for
Speaker 1: two hundred twenty eight yards. That's fifteen point two yards
Speaker 1: per target. Individually, Tyreq was seventeen point nine yards per target,
Speaker 1: Jalen twelve point one, Cedric Wilson twelve point five, and
Speaker 1: Trent Sherfield nine point oh yards per route ran Tyreek
Speaker 1: five point one one in the game two is good
Speaker 1: three point to seven for Waddle, three point eight three
Speaker 1: for Cedric, one point five for Surf. On the rushing stats,
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson had two missed tackles forced on nine carries,
Speaker 1: where Heim had one on his nine carries. Wilson average
Speaker 1: three point one one yards after contact. They both had
Speaker 1: ten plus yard runs and they converted three of their
Speaker 1: eight teen carries into first downs. Pressures allowed to Ron
Speaker 1: Armshead had to, Rob Jones had three. Cornor Williams and
Speaker 1: Rob Hunt both had none, and Briannan Shell had three.
Speaker 1: No sacks allowed in this game. Defensively, pressures Phillips had five,
Speaker 1: Chub had three, Riley had to, Tindall, Roberts, Xavien and
Speaker 1: mel All had one apiece run stops Kati co who
Speaker 1: leads me with five in this game. Wow. Five tackles
Speaker 1: within two yards of the line. Seiler E Robin E
Speaker 1: ro All had three apiece, Wilkins, Davis, Baker and Riley
Speaker 1: had two apiece, and four guys had one X. Played
Speaker 1: forty three coverage snaps and was tabbed with twenty six
Speaker 1: yards allowed. Cohu forty two snaps, nineteen yards allowed. Again,
Speaker 1: you want to be uh, you know, a little a
Speaker 1: little over one is very good. Javon Holland forty two
Speaker 1: coverage snaps, four yards allowed, Eric Row thirty four coverage
Speaker 1: snaps twenty one yards allowed. The quarterback run again obviously
Speaker 1: a big element. Fields had one hundred and seventy eight
Speaker 1: yards on fifteen rushing attempts. You know, I had a
Speaker 1: feeling he was coming on and he has arrived, and
Speaker 1: good for the Bears. Man, They've been searching for a
Speaker 1: guy like that for a long long time. But Miami
Speaker 1: against the running backs twenty one rushes for fifty nine yards.
Speaker 1: Receivers had four for fifteen. They also caught seventeen twenty
Speaker 1: eight passes for one twenty three just four point four
Speaker 1: yards per past attempt and again, Fields is in that
Speaker 1: Lamar Hearts Kyler class. It's such a tough task to
Speaker 1: consistently defend players like them. But the Dolphins had a
Speaker 1: good job and the rest of the game, that's kind
Speaker 1: of why they won the game, getting those wins in
Speaker 1: the other areas. All right, there you go. Let's take
Speaker 1: a look at these snap counts before we get to
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's Monday press conference. You had the offensive line
Speaker 1: play wire to wire and your quarterback fifty seven snaps.
Speaker 1: For all of those guys, Tyreek played seventy nine percent,
Speaker 1: Waddle played seventy two, and Sherfield played sixty of your
Speaker 1: snaps and offense, so pretty clear line of demarcation there
Speaker 1: for the receiver's room. We also had Cedric Wilson played
Speaker 1: thirteen snaps in the game at tight end, Smith played
Speaker 1: thirty three, played twenty eight snaps, so let's say percent,
Speaker 1: and then Hunter Long gave you eleven percent workload at
Speaker 1: the tight end position. Pretty standard what we see this year.
Speaker 1: At the running back spot, we had Jeff Wilson and
Speaker 1: alec Ingold played twenty eight snaps and Raheam played twenty seven,
Speaker 1: so really even down the line there. On defense, we
Speaker 1: had two players go the distance, Holland and Howard. That's
Speaker 1: pretty common. Kator Cohu missed just one snap playing seventy three.
Speaker 1: I mentioned we had the package with Duke, Riley and
Speaker 1: Channing tend Old. Jerome Baker snaps goes down to sixty
Speaker 1: one percent in this game after playing one from most
Speaker 1: of the season. We had Christian Wilkins again man eighty
Speaker 1: six percent of the snap sixty four. His conditioning is
Speaker 1: unrivaled by anybody but Jalen Phillips, who gave you sixty
Speaker 1: one snaps in the game. Seiler and Roberts both give
Speaker 1: you fifty seven. That's seventy seven percent of the workload.
Speaker 1: Same for Eric Rowe. Bradley Chubb gave you fifty four snaps,
Speaker 1: and his first outing here, Ray Kwon played forty four snaps.
Speaker 1: And then you get a big drop off there from
Speaker 1: Ray Kuon playing forty four, Melvin Ingram twenty seven snaps.
Speaker 1: Emmanuel A reductions there for those guys Crossing twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Duke played seven, team Tindal had the five, egg Von
Speaker 1: had one, Van Ginkle had ten. We also had Elijah
Speaker 1: Campbell for sixteen snaps. And John Jenkins played uh fourteen,
Speaker 1: So maybe some more Elijah Campbell, maybe some more Duke Riley,
Speaker 1: maybe some more Chaining Tindal, plenty of kater cohu in
Speaker 1: there as well. Interesting to get a look at that
Speaker 1: as we go forward. So we heard from head coach
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel on Monday. He told us that Hunter Long
Speaker 1: entered the concussion protocol and that was the only injury
Speaker 1: we had in the game coming out of the game
Speaker 1: on Sunday, which was a rarity for this team. Obviously,
Speaker 1: no change on Byron Jones. We're gonna see Austin Jackson
Speaker 1: practicing this week and trying to see him get more
Speaker 1: and more ramped up to get back on the field.
Speaker 1: And they'll go ahead and play three quotes for you here.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask coach about the receiver's effort and
Speaker 1: the routes because it seems like, man, all these guys
Speaker 1: give their all on every single play. Coach gave me
Speaker 1: a phenomenal answer. Here's Mike McDaniel. Cowal. Coach was awesome.
Speaker 1: Coach's answer was awesome. No, Um, that's that's cool. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a something that's been of paramount of importance
Speaker 1: that I think you can really separate offensive UM play
Speaker 1: in the past and run game by the perimeter receivers,
Speaker 1: because yeah, they always looked at it like this, You're gonna,
Speaker 1: by and large gonna have straining try hard UM offensive
Speaker 1: lineman and running backs have to try hard otherwise they're
Speaker 1: gonna get blown up and tackled. UM and tight ends
Speaker 1: are kind of an extensions off the line. But you
Speaker 1: can really have a UM a well UM oiled offense
Speaker 1: if you have UM football playing wide receivers and so
Speaker 1: football playing wide receivers don't just run routes hard when
Speaker 1: they are scheduled to get the ball UM, because that
Speaker 1: that's a the the orchestration of good wide receiver play
Speaker 1: within a good offense UM is a full commitment and
Speaker 1: a standard. And that's something that UM you don't you
Speaker 1: don't just turn on. That's something that's too accredit to
Speaker 1: every single UM coach and player on the on the
Speaker 1: staff because it's a daily commitment that you know, if
Speaker 1: UM West is in there and not UM not pointing
Speaker 1: out that the backside of a of a run or
Speaker 1: or maybe a runoff route isn't to the standard that
Speaker 1: we'd like. If he doesn't point that out on a
Speaker 1: random Thursday in September. It's not going to be right
Speaker 1: in October. So UM that that is something that I
Speaker 1: think it's very important. A in a way that you
Speaker 1: can separate yourself in this league is a commitment to
Speaker 1: buy a position that is predominantly dominated by statistical UM
Speaker 1: figures that they play team football. Then you've got a
Speaker 1: heck of advantage UM that opposing defenses will feel over
Speaker 1: the course of time. How about the impact of Bradley
Speaker 1: Chubb and what he saw from his tape. Here's coach
Speaker 1: McDaniel on the newcoming pass rusher Bradley Chubb, and also
Speaker 1: some Jeff Wilson in here as well. I was pumped
Speaker 1: to the the stuff that he was able to do
Speaker 1: in terms of you know, your you put yourself in
Speaker 1: his situation, and it's Tuesday, UM, and you just get
Speaker 1: notified that you're traded teams. Then you're taking uh, your
Speaker 1: Wednesday of your NFL prep week, UM, where you're preparing
Speaker 1: for first and second down. Half of its occupied by
Speaker 1: doing physical some stuff, and then you you're trying to
Speaker 1: get sped up to to a defensive system that's in
Speaker 1: a different language. UM. I was very happy with how
Speaker 1: he was able to go out and play pretty hard.
Speaker 1: He'll um there was a uh several occasions that Um
Speaker 1: he he didn't end up on the stat sheet, but
Speaker 1: he completely affected the past plays by UM getting getting
Speaker 1: to the quarterback uh and in a rhythm fast quick
Speaker 1: enough that he had to get the ball out and
Speaker 1: that's what you're asking in that position. UM. He'll get
Speaker 1: um better and better as he gets more versed in
Speaker 1: the nuances of our scheme and both running pass. But
Speaker 1: UM really happy with the player, the talent and the effort. UM.
Speaker 1: I feel like he's gonna fit right in UM and
Speaker 1: UH and really hope are our group moving forward. Finally,
Speaker 1: he was asked about the expectation for Tyreek Hill coming
Speaker 1: in what he sees from him. He's gonna tell you
Speaker 1: a little bit about Tyreek behind the scenes and the
Speaker 1: work he puts in. Here's coach on the Cheetah as
Speaker 1: well as a celebration with the backflip after the touchdown. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some beef with our video department because
Speaker 1: we cut that celebration off in our coaches copy tape.
Speaker 1: So we're visiting, We're revisiting that after this press conference.
Speaker 1: But UM, but live you know, I thought it was
Speaker 1: a I feel like a seven point eight because there
Speaker 1: was you know, I didn't feel like he's stuck the
Speaker 1: landing and from UM, I know that's a very important
Speaker 1: part of the of the judging process, right, UM. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's the cool thing about Tyreek
Speaker 1: as he recognizes, UM that this game is all about improving,
Speaker 1: and he's you know, obviously you're excited, UM to have
Speaker 1: production on on unforeseen level before UM. That's great, UM,
Speaker 1: But what you like is that he's uh that he
Speaker 1: and his teammates see that as a vessel for us
Speaker 1: to get UM our job done, which is to win.
Speaker 1: And in that process, he hasn't he's not wavering or um,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to take the easy way way out.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a couple of things in this past
Speaker 1: game that he did better than he has all season.
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking for, and that's, UM what makes
Speaker 1: me the happiest about it, because UM, you're you're either
Speaker 1: getting better or getting worse. There's not really any in between,
Speaker 1: and he's committed getting better. So I look forward to
Speaker 1: his his production moving forward. That is a very long podcast.
