And on today's show, 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:38.000 it's preview day again Thursday in the National Football League. 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.160 Need to take a look at the Dolphins and Patriots 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:41.320 from hard Rock Stadium. 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:43.720 We're gonna go ahead and do that right about now. 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.000 From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:47.640 This is. 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:53.120 The Draft Time Podcast. Maybe daffeirs. 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.639 Week number twelve in the NFL. Can you believe that 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.720 we are already to week number twelve? Thanksgiving next week? 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.280 It goes faster every single year. One o'clock kickoff from 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.240 hard Rock Stadium here against the Patriots. Perfect South Florida 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.560 weather seventy seven degrees, sunny, a little bit breezy, but 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.600 like six miles an hour and three percent chance of rain. 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:17.280 It's literally perfect. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.480 Now, if you're coming out to the game and you're 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.920 not from this area, I guess it does dip down 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.559 to sixty four degrees at night, so it can get chilly, 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.800 So bring your hoodies. If that's cold enough for a 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.880 hoodie for you, it is for me. Patriots Intro. We've 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.160 met this team on this podcast, let's see, been here 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:35.760 since twenty twenty. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:36.640 This is year five. 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.559 This is the tenth time we've done this, but it's changed. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:41.800 But we also met them back in week five, but 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.480 it's changed since then as well. So let's go ahead 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.160 and make that brief. We saw them seven weeks ago. 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.160 They made the quarterback switch, but we'll get into that 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.400 as we go. And here's the TLDR on what you 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.400 missed too long, didn't read Brady era ends they have 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.520 immediate success in twenty twenty one off of the Brady 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.760 retirement or the free agent exit and mac Jones has 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.640 his best year as a pro and they win ten 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.320 games before getting bamboozled by the Buffalo Bills in that 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.919 wild card playoff game. Twenty twenty two sees a marginal 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.080 falloff at eight to nine, and actually they just needed 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.360 a Week eighteen win at Buffalo to keep us from 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.560 the postseason that year with the riveting Scaler Thompson Jets game. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.880 But then twenty twenty three arrives and they have a 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:29.240 major regression as they do some crazy stuff and bringing 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:35.200 Matt Patricia to run the offense. Okay Jones reveals himself 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.359 to be Mac Jones. The defense loses too many key 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.600 parts and they bought him out at four and thirteen, 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:45.400 which puts them in position to draft Drake May. This 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.760 year started off similarly with an opening day win that 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.040 was geyzy Fugazi, but followed by a six game losing streak. 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.720 They've won two of their last four, and that coincide 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.079 with the switch to Drake May. Weird Jake Brisket doesn't 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:00.359 win a lot of games this league. Who could have 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.280 known that? Not the head coach here in twenty twenty one. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.720 They held the Bears to three points in Chicago just 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.040 two weeks ago and just played the Rams. Played the 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.440 Rams down to the wire in Foxborough twenty eight twenty 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.480 two in that game. But they're three and eight and 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.040 the focus of the season now has to be well 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.720 for Dolphins fans purposes. When you have a team in 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.680 your division that is basement like the Jets and the Patriots. 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.040 For the rest of the way, except for the games 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.799 against us I kind of want them to win those 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.600 games because Travis Hunter is not going to be there 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.320 with the eighth pick. He might be there with the 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.320 fourth pick, you know what I'm saying. So get a 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.640 couple more wins here, Patriots. But it's all about finding 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.160 out what Drake may is and what he's going to 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.320 be and how to build around him. 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:41.680 You know about Gerard Mayo. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.680 They have a new defensive cordator, Marcus Covington, new OC 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.800 Alex Van Pelt. The offensive line has taken on more 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.360 injuries than quite literally any position group in the National 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.480 Football League. It's an offense in transition, as they brought 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.280 in a couple of rookie wide receivers. Jalen Polk has 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:02.960 worked so far, He's been okay. Some lapses in judgment 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.240 and lapses in concentration have cost him a few times. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.000 And then Javon Baker hasn't really popped off just yet, 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:08.640 a guy that I. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:09.960 Quite liked out of UCF. 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.120 I think their top receivers are like Pop Douglas and 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:17.440 Kendrick Bourne, so that's an issue, but I like those players. 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.159 I like el Tuna High. It's just not you know, 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.039 it's not they lost out, but Their best skill player 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.720 is tight end hunter Henry. They dealt Matt Judon back 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.880 in training camp. Christian Barmore has missed most of the 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.719 year with a scary situation, including blood clots in his calf. 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.960 He's back, although he did not practice on Wednesday. He 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.560 did play it last Sunday. If he plays, it'll be 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.360 at a reduced capacity to what you're used to with Barmore, 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.880 and he is like their best player, so that's uh. 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.840 I guess I would never root for him to miss 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.760 time for that, so that's not a win, but I 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.280 mean on the football field, it kind of is. Christian 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.440 Gonzalez is like the next best player on the roster 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.680 for me. Their twenty twenty three first round pick has 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.800 been ballin all year long, and they still have a 0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:01.440 similar structure on defense. But years years of drafting just horribly. 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:07.320 Kyle Krab sent me a graphic of Pro Bowlers selected 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.080 by teams since twenty fourteen, and the Dolphins were tenth 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:11.080 on the list, by the way, which is. 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:12.760 Weird, right because you know you agreer. 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.880 But the Patriots were dead last at three point three 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.000 percent of the players they've drafted making in the All 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.520 Star Game. However, the current regime already has a rookie 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.440 quarterback who's playing good I wrote down good foodball football, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.560 a wide receiver in jale and Polk that I think 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.440 looks like a hit, and then a seventh round tight 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.240 end that I'm a big fan of in Jaheem Bell, 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.520 who was on my Dolphins list this cycle as a 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:35.960 John new Smith type of player. 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:37.000 All right, that's the intro. 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.520 Let's go ahead and talk about this offense, and I 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.200 think you start with the foundational belief that the offense 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.919 kind of begins with the running game. And you know 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.360 what that means from this tree, right, because Van pelt 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.480 Went worked for Kevin Stefanski and Zach Taylor the outside 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.880 zone game, but not so fast there is Actually this 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.600 is actually one of the more diverse attacks in the 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.000 entire league, with its mix of zone and man concepts. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.600 The running game, which I also find fitting since this 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.679 was a team for years that lined up and played 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.280 power football, only to pivot to more zone when Patricia 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.560 got there, when they didn't know how to do that, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.159 and they couldn't do that, and they basically scrapped a 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.479 good power running game and went zone running game under Belichick, 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.279 and then now they finally have joined us in the 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.240 twenty first century of offense. But the splits this year 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.360 it's one hundred and forty six gap runs and ninety 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.480 five zone runs. And I tend to think it's because 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.839 their personnel upfront is more suited for man blocking. And 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.000 Cole Stranger was a guy they drafted to be a 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.800 zone guy, but he's been pretty much hurt his entire career. 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:37.080 They did activate him this week. 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.520 We'll see it comes back and plays in the game 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:42.440 on Sunday, and they've been happy. Excuse me to just 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.800 take what's there from a numbers in box count standpoint, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.800 But where I think they gave, you know, Jacobi a 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.680 lot of autonomy to the line of scrimmage, I'm not 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.320 sure that May has the exact same but that's just 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.320 from watching tape and the way they react to pre 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.120 snap presentations. But it falls in the category of something 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.920 you cannot possibly know for sure unless you're in those 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.400 install meetings. But I don't think that May is making 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.880 checks at land scrimmage. With the passing game, there's a 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.120 lot more familiarity or familiar to Dolphins fans here a 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.480 mix of maximum protection with five eligibles into the pattern, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.800 or rather two eligibles in the pattern, and also your reps. 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.960 We have empty amount and go five into the pattern. 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.720 Reduce number of true dropbacks with all the action in 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.840 the running game, and how that marries to the play pass. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.119 I guess the cliffs notes would be think Shanahan style 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.120 attack with a more power running element, kind of like 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.240 the Rams. Right, we just saw that a couple weeks ago. 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.240 Now how to attack it? This is going to sound 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.600 extremely simple, but it's the same thing as the Rams. 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.280 Keep it behind the chains. If they want to reduce 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.840 their true drop back situations, create true dropback situations, and 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.920 you can do that by adding hats to the box 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.360 count and early downs. I think the lack of a 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.360 true vertical presence here allows you to be a lot 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.480 more aggressive in how you defend it. But I also 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.080 felt the same way last week, and I thought the 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.240 Dolphins played by far their most vanilla game plan on defense. 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.679 And I wouldn't commit to that the way I would 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:05.120 have with Brissette because Briskett doesn't have do anything well. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.280 Drake may can get the ball down the field, he 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.880 will need to develop a lot quite frankly, as he 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.840 goes along in his footwork within the pocket and management 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.240 of space in the pocket, because he's kind of kind 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.040 of all over the place back there right now. But 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.920 that's something that typically comes with time, and he's very green, 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.240 and I don't think it should be a surprise that 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.960 that is a work in progress for a guy that 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.720 had two years of starts in college and now he's 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.440 getting his feet wet in the NFL. But he also 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.600 has far more escapability and he is a true threat 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.000 with his legs. He can beat you with his legs, 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.400 Like I think, there are plays on tape where he 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.480 works himself out of the timing and progression with his footwork, 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.080 but he can then rescue that with his balance and 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.360 strengthen the pocket. And once he slips through the defensive line, 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.720 those big boys aren't going to catch him from the backside. 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.200 But there's some really, really weird reps on his tape. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:56.480 We'll get to that here in one second. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.720 I wanted to circle back to their vertical passing game 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.160 because going into the Week five game, they had only 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.080 attempted eight passes beyond twenty yards and had hit just 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.320 one of those, and it was a twenty one yard play. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.000 It was my favorite stat of the entire week with 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.480 how comically bad their vertical passing game was. Now May 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.280 actually has fewer throws of twenty plus. Jacoby was at 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.199 eleven point three percent and May is at nine point 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.000 five percent, But he has completed five of those eighteen 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.080 throws for a buck fifty five. So they have hit 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.800 the long ball where Brissette literally never did. But they 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.200 also have two picks and just a twenty five percent 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.240 completion rate. So if we're turning it over, you know what, 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.240 I guess that's better than ten percent of the time 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.440 and we are completing it less than a quarter of 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.360 the time. Like I would challenge you to try to 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.000 make your money that way because those odds favor me, 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.560 and from watching the film, I don't think that's a 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.720 symptom of the quarterback position, but rather a collection of 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:55.040 their protection and a true dearth of skill at the 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.840 receiver position. I mean, that's what we used to be, dude. Like, 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.000 you know, I loved Isaiah Ford, but when he was 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.240 running forty routes a game like that was probably an issue. 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.040 Devonte Parker was the same thing. Saands that one year 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.400 he had in twenty nineteen, right or Preston Williams, whatever, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.640 just Albert Wilson. I remember when people thought that Lynn 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.080 Bowden was like gonna be some crazy hit. That's kind 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.319 of what the Patriots have right here. But I also think, 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.760 you know, I go back. I keep going back to 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.320 this Week three game against the Jets that I watched 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:26.840 on tape. I know it was Brissette, but they just 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.800 loaded up with a hat in every gap and probably 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.920 even got a little bit gratuitous in how they fit 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.200 the run. And by that I mean just flooding it 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.920 with wave after wave after wave. But I also think 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.840 the way the offense is going and they're inexperienced here, 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.199 Like we saw it against the Raiders, one of our 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.280 the most vanilla planning of the year defensively, and the 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.599 Raiders just took the easy stuff and we tackled like 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.640 crap on the perimeter and it gave him a chance 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.440 to stay in the game. But I tend to think 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.280 the way the Patriots can stay in this game is 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.720 if we make mistakes and they strike a big play. 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.040 So that's a you know, a call that I will 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.400 leave to the pro to the expert and co Weaver 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.240 he'll have the right decision. I don't think he'll replicate 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.240 the Raiders game, but I think he'll He'll make the 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.520 right choice because he's a very, very good coach. The 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.720 Big Three versus the Patriots offense Number one flood Drake 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:16.640 May's launch point put bodies at his feet. He is 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.679 willing to play with anticipation, and he has the velocity 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.480 to rip tight window throws. He is a member of 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.280 the TNA club. You know, that's boots, hoots and boots. 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.520 But I think you can trace the off target throws 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.120 and sometimes out of rhythm nature of the offense to 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.680 the feet not matching up with the rhythm of the progression. 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:40.920 We talked about this with friggin Boile, friggin friggin friggin Huntly, 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.840 friggin Skuyler, like they were never in rhythm with the 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.880 the way the timing of the routes works, and it's 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:51.079 all with their feet. And this dude's got horrible, horrible feet. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.640 He will naturally change his launch point when it's not necessary. 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.000 And I think that we can play eyes on the 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.560 quarterback and zone and maybe baits and bad throws out 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.640 of him, but then also play some man coverage and 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.079 dominate these lesser wide receivers because they are by far 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.520 the worst crop in the entire National Football League. A 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.199 good mix might give up some running lanes and your 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.240 man coverage reps, but you have to have a little 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.920 bit of it. The Dolphins are like a seventy two 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.959 to like twenty what would that be, twenty eight percent 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.760 zone or in favor of zone seventy two percent of 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:22.080 the time. 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:22.880 But I think that you. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.880 Can maybe go a little bit more man coverage here 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.360 because these receivers, I just don't think and hurt you. 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.440 But where you get weary of it is that Drake 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.920 May's probably best ability rate now before he develops all 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.560 the other stuff, it's probably his running ability and the 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.679 combination of that and his play extension. So I think 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.400 you can bait this guy into some bad throws. He 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.400 had a couple of bad picks against the Rams. I 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.520 think you can do that. It's a weird tape to watch. 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.640 And when I think when he comes back in twenty 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.440 twenty five, I think he'll have tightened it up, which 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.040 I kind of worries me. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:53.800 Doesn't worry me. 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.280 Check straight down from the record, Let's just say it 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.080 was nice going for a long time, and the Jets 0:12:58.120 --> 0:12:59.680 are going to be here forever. It seems like of 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.000 having two games in the division where their quarterback play 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.360 was so bad you knew it was a win unless 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.559 you match that with Teddy Bridgewater in weeks seventeen back 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:08.319 in twenty twenty two. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.120 But we don't have that anymore. We have two in 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:10.680 these games. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.880 Although I guess Huntley did beat him the the least 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.360 fun win of the entire season. But I just think 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.200 that he often winds up his throws too much. I 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.320 think he drifts towards his target within the pocket and 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.600 kind of telegraphs it that way. So if we can 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.120 get constant surge with Seler and Campbell inside, which we 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.920 always do, we can really mess up his mechanics where 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.720 he's striding into the rush, the arm angled changes, maybe 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.520 get some deflected balls or some some throws that come 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.800 off weird. He's just incredibly sloppy with his mechanics at 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.960 the top of his drop, and that's a very bad 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.800 pairing for a bad offensive line. So if you want 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.360 to look at why this offense struggles, his weaknesses do 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.080 not jive well with one of the worst old lines 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.640 in the NFL, and they also have one of the 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:54.880 worst skill groups in the NFL. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:56.280 It's a bad combination. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.800 But please don't mistake that as he's not capable, because 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:01.960 this is not gonna be Zach Wilson. This is not 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.680 gonna be Ian Book from twenty twenty one. This is 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.720 not gonna be when you got to face Mike Glennon 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.520 from those years. This is a better player than those 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.040 guys like by a lot. He's just a very green 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.199 because it sometimes turns him into a runner when he 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.360 breaks that contain, and he's really dangerous from there as 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.800 a thrower on the move again, freaky physical skills, boots 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.240 and toots baby, and he can overcome some of those 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.280 rookie growing pains stuff with his ability to just playmake. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.440 He's not like to a playmaking right now, but he's 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.480 a big playmaker, huge arm, and he absolutely believes in it. 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.880 And like again on his tape, there's some late reads, 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.080 but they aren't always negative plays for the offense. Sometimes 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.560 his big arm allows him to be late and still 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.040 jam some of those tight window throws. And again I 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.200 came away from his tape saying, I think this is 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:45.640 another problem we're gonna have to contend with. 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.080 The division for a long time. We might have only had. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.760 A four year reprieve from Breedy with regards to high 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:55.560 level quarterback play. Now they're gonna have to like remake 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.920 the entire program around him, which could take years. 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.360 Could take years to build Rome as a were. 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.320 But he plays sometimes with some capital anticipation, and I'm 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.640 excited to watch how we attack him and get after 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.160 this guy number two. Actually, let's go ahead and take 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:10.960 our first break right there, come back and do number 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.000 two against Patriots offense. That's next Draft Time podcast, your 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:20.080 host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. The 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.400 number one big thing aginst the Patriots offense was to 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.160 muddy the pocket for Drake May and number two. Well, 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.600 how do you do that? You attack the interior of 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:32.560 their offensive line relentlessly, because here's the lineup. Verderian Lowe 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.440 was a career practice squad guy before this year. Left 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.040 Guard's Michael Jordan. He's bounced around the entire league so far. 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.640 At this point, Ben Brown wasn't aware of who he was. 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.440 He was a UDFA for the Patriots. Last year, Demntrey 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.440 Jacobs same situation UDFA didn't make a team, came to 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.040 the Patriots, and then Mike Onwenu was one of the 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.359 top like one hundred freegents available this offseason from the Patriots. 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.760 They brought him back. But he's a guard and he's 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.400 playing right tackle, so it ain't good. We've established we 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.600 want bodies in the lap of Drake May when he's 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:01.440 the top of his drop. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:02.760 How do we get that? 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.120 I think at their healthiest, this Patriots offensive line wasn't good, 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.200 and when it's this banged up, it is rough. Let's 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:10.560 go ahead and look at some of these numbers. So 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:16.000 at tackle, you want your pass block efficiency score. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.880 To be like ninety seven or better. 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.960 A little bit less than that's sustainable. But if you 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.600 get like into the ninety fours ninety five's, it's it's 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:25.760 a problem. At guard, it's got to be ninety eight 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.000 or better, and center probably needs to be ninety eight 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.360 point five or better because it's just really hard to 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:31.360 get pressure on the interior. 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:32.400 So you're ready for these numbers. 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.000 Low has kicked over to the left side after having 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.600 some up and downs off the right side. His PBE 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.640 is ninety five point six, below the threshold I just 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.400 talked about. Jordan has probably been the best player but 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.520 he's ninety seven to one, and he when I watch 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.400 his tape, heavy footed, and I can just see stealers push, 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.360 pull and pull swipe, leaving the left guard Michael Jordan 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.120 number seventy five in the absolute dust or the arm 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.720 over with Campbell, Like, let's be real, that's true of 0:16:58.760 --> 0:16:59.440 all these matchups. 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:00.920 We should boil these dudes up front. 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.600 I'm not familiar with Ben Brown's tape outside of watching 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:05.560 these last six games. I didn't know who he was 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.399 before that. His first start was the week after the 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.359 Miami game. But he's their third different starting center of 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.040 this year with a rookie quarterback, so getting their protection 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:18.000 calls against a Anthony Weaver pass rush like we saw 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.640 Jackson powers Johnson get his butt kicked by freaking Benito 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.960 Jones on Sunday, and I think that that's going to 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.520 be the similar situation here now Benito particularly, but the 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.959 rookie center or the second year center of the rookie quarterback, 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:29.800 I think that's going to be a problem. I do 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.159 think that the advantage he has is probably lots of 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.919 reps with May back in August, but his PBE is 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:35.840 ninety six point eight. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.679 That's below our guard threshold. He's a center. 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.720 Demantrey Jacobs didn't play a game last year as UDFA 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.000 and Denver. He came up from the Pea squad for 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.200 the game against US and has stuck on the left side, 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.120 or was on the left side back then he kicks 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.320 over to the right side. PFF has him with the 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.520 most pressures allowed at thirty one and a PBE of 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.280 ninety four point two. 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:55.320 It's not good, guys. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.879 And then you you heard Taylor yesterday say that, and 0:17:57.960 --> 0:17:59.280 wh who's having a bit of a down year. And 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.480 I would go to back strongly for him as a guard, 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.679 but again, injuries have forced him out to tackle. I 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.359 do think he's their best player up front, but he's 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.480 he's got a pretty good size advantage on Chop off 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.840 the edge, So Chop needs to be able to keep 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:13.919 his chest clean and keep that outside arm clean to 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.280 set the edge in the running game. But by the 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.600 same token, your boy is struggling today, by the same token, 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.600
