WEBVTT - Dolphins Eagles Rewind - Deep Diving the Tape, Stats and Coach McDaniel's Commentary 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.360 To us fires touch style by waddle stuck into the 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.440 end zone of Miami board. Tight froll, tight window. They 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:11.760 had to get that touchdown on that play. They get it. 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:17.639 What is up? Dolphans And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:21.720 part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.599 your Miami Dolphins. How are you doing? Everybody? I am 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.600 your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, we're gonna 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.319 open up the kimono and get all the details from 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.120 the last game before they start to count. A rewatch 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.120 the omissions of things we may have missed from the 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.440 Reaction podcast, more a tape study than anything. We'll get 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.480 to the PFF numbers, and we'll hear from head coach 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.280 Mike McDaniel from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:55.440 Health Training Complex. This is the Drivetime Podcast Miami's office. Well, 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.840 didn't sleep a whole lot on Saturday night. Obviously, the 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.160 new US that everyone knows about was a big part 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.640 of that. And then like random smoke alarms going off 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.520 in my house at four o'clock in the morning after 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.280 I had just gone to beds. That was that was cool, 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.720 But uh, I wanted to watch the game today to 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.600 occupy the mind, and then again, you know, last night 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.679 and today, I should say, to get a good feel 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.759 for what we saw out there. And I feel good 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.480 about a lot of the observations from the reaction podcast. 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.319 But as always, the tape will always always give you more. 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.320 So we go back and watch that. Let's just go 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.440 down the notes here in kind of a random order. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.560 I just kind of jotted things down and filled them 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.040 back in as I saw a fit. So stay with 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:35.880 me here. We're gonna try to learn about some football 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.560 here on this podcast. And I mean it starts from 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.560 the first drive of the game, doesn't it first play 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.039 of the game? I mean, now, do you not start there? 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:43.880 To us said that he could have thrown that ball better, 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:45.920 and maybe he could have, you know, sure, but man, 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.360 that was a pretty damn good spot for that ball 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.120 to wind up, because I think that if it's much further, 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.480 you know, Tyreek didn't really slam on the brakes, He 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.200 just kind of dove back across the middle of the 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.160 field away from that defender. I'm not sure if he 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.840 runs it down if it's five yards deeper than that. 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.880 Perhaps most impressively, that that was a too high look 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:06.920 that wound up his quarters post snap, and that means 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.800 you have four deep trehek still random off of it. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.880 It makes no sense. I'm trying to find ways of 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.679 laugh today that that was one of them, especially the 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.640 picture of Cavan Wallace and all the ice that he 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.440 had on his body into and the Tyreek kills the 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.079 fastest man he ever saw. Getta laugh, that's just beer. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.120 It's just beer. That's to kind of play that sets 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.280 the tone in that game. It had the Eagles on 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.200 the back foot the rest of the night, so much 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.840 so that Miami were able to get two d three 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.640 rushing yards and two fifteen passing yards just from play action. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.040 Pretty absurd statistics there, and I really covered two was 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.280 game in depth on the last pot, but I don't 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.160 think I truly appreciated the location of all those throws, 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.600 I mean even the mist to craik Craft. Like one 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.840 of the things I one of the most encouraging reps 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.240 of the night was that miss I thought, and here's why. 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.040 Because Crai Craft has a deep out route, a route 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.760 that takes some time to try to convert a third 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.880 and long situation, and the rush is going to arrive 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.240 before too one can hit the top of his drop, 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.920 hitch up and deliver, and you see him speed up 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.560 the process. And man, those of you that were with 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.600 me back in the Lockdown Dolphins days when I would 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.280 gush over his college tape and that twenty or I 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.720 guess nineteen college season, you know, Saturday Watch, I would 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.880 do that such a big part of the podcast after 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.680 the games on Sunday and two was always the forefront 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.000 of that. It was that thing that I love more 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.239 than anything else besides his ball place. But you see 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.520 him chop the feet and get himself aligned to his 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.800 target really ahead of when it should have been able 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.880 to happen because he's he's so light on his feet, quick, 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.600 quick twitch and quick glide and easy glide on those 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.960 feet that if Craig Craft is able to get out 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.160 of that break clean and the dB covers it well 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.000 and kind of throws him off that route, I think 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.440 it might have been a completion. So I was encouraged 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.720 by that. I do have one note that is anything 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.440 but gushing on him, and that was the sack. I 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.400 think he could have maybe gone to miles on that 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.920 little incut route that he ran from that plus split. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.880 It was well covered, but the rush arc of that 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.840 left defensive ent, he really only had one lane that 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.400 he could have taken for a sack because Austin Jackson 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.720 ran him around the arc and behind the play. But 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.480 the scramble kind of kept him alive as Jackson wound 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.800 up pushing his man right to where to eventually moved to. 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.680 That happens sometimes it's a good second effort by the 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.440 pass rusher when you don't win your initial rep. So 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:22.960 some bad luck there, But I just think too and 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.640 maybe could have mitigated that with a decision earlier in 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.720 the down. But that was it. Man. It's really tough 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.040 to get on him for that. If there was one 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:31.320 thing I would it would be that. But what a 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.760 night for QB one. Let's go back with an eye 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.520 on the non quarterback stuff here in first Trent Sherfield. 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.039 He's one of my favorite players. I'm a huge fan 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.200 of his game. And by the way I saw someone 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.479 saym I mentions that calling myself a fan of a 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.479 player is like disingenuous. Wow, Like I just if a 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.159 guy plays a certain style, I'm gonna appreciate that. And 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.320 he's one of those guys. Did you guys see the 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.440 route that he ran on the Craycraft touchdown. He comes 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.120 off and slow plays his release and walks him up 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.080 to square him up. And that's a key because you 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.760 have to have that d bills, that defensive backs hips 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.719 parallel to the line of scrimmage, because if he opens 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.000 those hips and does a drop step at all, he 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.080 might get tipped off that we're throwing the ball right 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.800 over his head to somebody else. And you actually see 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.479 him start to be like, what's going on here, what's 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.600 he doing? And then the minute he does that, Shurefield 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.640 rips that round off to the outside and he has 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.080 to close on that and it creates that window over 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.599 the top for TWA and him and the offensive line 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.440 and River Cracraft did the rest from there. I thought 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.840 great Little was awesome in this game. I saw him 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.960 going and getting blocks. Peep the long ball to Tyreek. 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.120 He goes and gets his guy. Don't be patient wait 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.000 for him to get to you, go get him. Doesn't 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:40.919 give an inch and knocked back on that play because 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.200 you shorten the runway of the pass rusher and you 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.240 look over the other side with Austin Jackson. Really the 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.280 entire line they're doing that all night. Go get your blocks, man, 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.679 and they're doing it. They're hitting him two ahead, almost 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.800 three seconds per drop back to throw in this game. 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.960 I talked about it last week. Whether you're manufacturing pockets 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:58.960 and all these rollouts and play action and using the 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:00.960 flow of the running game to get the you know, 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.960 the the blitzers or potential second level defenders eyes kind 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.040 of in the wrong spot, or you're just going out 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.240 there and executing. It's a combination of both. We've seen 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.719 it for three weeks now. It's a good sign going 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.880 into the season. There was a great film breakdown this 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.000 summer by Kurt Warner on YouTube where he talked about 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.000 Tyreek Hills find attention to detail as a route runner 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.720 where there was you know, these options within certain plays 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.600 where they're space or opening, and the receiver could find that, 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.960 show the quarterback his numbers and just say, hey, let's 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.040 get this window because it's here. But like the attention 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.760 to detail that he would do would take that extra 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.440 step to drive further, to force you know, a back 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.960 pedal step or a got to flip his hips more 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.280 than he would have if you took that space, And 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:44.240 that fine attention to detail creates bigger windows within the offense. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.520 And that was kind of the point of Kurt Warner's 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.240 breakdown of how polished he is as a route runner. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.720 And so with that mind, go watch the second catch 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.719 of the game, that crossing route, because the backside safety 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.640 comes down to cover that thing, which is the only 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.000 way you're going to defend those those crossing routes as 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.200 specially in man coverage, because you're just not going to 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.680 chase that guy across the field and keep up with him. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.560 But the way Tygreek presses his route into the defender 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.040 like he was open and had space to run too, 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.720 but he took his route like it's like pressing the 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.280 toes of the defensive back on a vertical route, press 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.240 him because that makes him have to honor the fact 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:19.800 that you could go by him and has to take 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.720 that step backwards opposed to a drive step forward, and 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.680 that just creates another half second, where that's a lifetime 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.240 in this league and in the sport. He just understands 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.400 the angles and the nature of space in this game 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.560 so well. I thought we saw more of that in 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.800 just two steps. He ran two routes. He ran two routes, 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.960 and he caught two passes for sixty four yards. He 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.960 had a third place where he ran block. It's it's 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:46.080 so stupid, but like in the best way possible. What 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.960 about Sethan Carter last night? What a block he had 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.440 on Raheem most arts twenties six yard gallop and what 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.920 a sealed by Austin Jackson on that play. You know, 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.920 I feel like I've been talking about this for a while, 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.680 but when you've got backs with Raheem speed Chase Edmonds 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.560 speed and you block it, well, you're gonna get explosive 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.720 place twenty six yards in the ground. Game is a 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.320 game changer, changes everything, especially with the way this offense 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.239 functions right, and what a nice first glimpse at thirty 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.480 one in the Dolphins uniform. But if you really want 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.840 to go get Jazz, go check out his pass pro 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.720 rep on two, his loan and completion, Like we can 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.520 find positives and everything right on the incomplete pass. Go 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.840 watch thirty one step up and pass pro bang, Go 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.800 get him. Miles Gaskin's first run first off, Austin Jackson 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.240 moves his guy and washes him down the line. Two gaps. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.319 Liam Eichenberg polls and seals the lane while Rob Hunt 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.040 is up in the second level wiping out a linebacker. 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.480 Durham Smith climbs to make a block of his own 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.400 in that second level. Man, good work across the board boys, 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.320 and gosh, that comeback route by Trent Sherfield later on 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.840 in the game, he gets vertical stacks the defensive back 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.600 where you get him on your back and you're you're 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.679 you're staying vertical. So he's underneath the route. And when 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.120 he's in that position where you eventually want to get to, like, 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.160 you better be sharp, and you better sell a head fake, 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.160 and you better get off that top of that route, 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.400 off that stem quickly, and he sure as hell does 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.199 bends it back in the balls right there when he 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.080 gets back down that stem. That chemistry for two right now, Man, 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.440 it's clicking. That's Cedric Wilson catch and run. The entire 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.520 Eagles defense flowed with the play fake. The second level 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.680 looked like it looks like a foosball table where you 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.920 have three guys on the one you know, the one lever, 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:22.920 and then when you kind of yank that lever back 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:24.640 towards you try to block a shot. When you when 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.480 your opponent has like a free shot of goal and 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.480 they all move simultaneously because they're on that same track. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.880 That's what it reminded me of, Like they were all 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.120 three four false steps in the wrong direction. Then on 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.720 the quick pop to Mike GISICKI, you see a safety 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.640 come up to fit the run and there goes Mike 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.280 get Sick. You're right behind him. Very early returns. Is 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.280 how simple this offense can make the keys for the 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.320 quarterback because on that play you see the safety dropped 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.240 down and that's all you need to know that your 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.760 six six tight end is gonna be open without an 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.839 eagle within five yards of him. His offense is fund man, 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.760 which is which is crazy. Be use Mike. Like we'll 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.800 hear from his press conference, coach said, this was all 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.800 fundamentals and technique, Like this wasn't game planning or scheming. 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.840 This is guy's going out and winning with technique. I 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.160 mean they were for my money three and O and 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.320 the practices, the joint practices, and you come out with 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.880 that effort in that game two weeks, man, check your pulse. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.400 Solomon Kinley second level block on a Miles Gaskin run 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.760 just was indicative of the kind of preseason that he 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.560 has had. The big band's moving, he's rolling now and 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.840 Seethan Carter back to him. Really damn good in the 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.439 In the run blocking game, Man, he had a good 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.880 cut block on a Gaskin run on the second quarter 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.040 where he kind of fakes a move to the left 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.040 and then it's a wine back counter and he comes 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.920 out and scoops out that backside unblocked rusher. Really impressive 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.960 work from Seethan Carter also cut the touchdown pass in 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.280 this game. I mentioned Hunter Long in the blocking game 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.720 on the podcast yesterday. On Savon Akman's fourteen yard rip. 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.560 He comes across the formation and split flow and he 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.160 really had to sacrifice himself because he doesn't have a 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.280 clean shot on the guy that he has to get blocked. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.120 He squeezed in tight to Greg Little at that left 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.520 tackle position and you kind of just see him throw 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.160 himself into the face of the fan there just to 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.280 get a body on him, because like he wasn't like 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.800 there wasn't a clean shot on him to come around 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.440 and make that hit. So he just thought, like if 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.120 I can get in the way of this, and he did, 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.200 and it sealed that edge for a fourteen yard run. 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:19.880 And then I just want to mention the timing and 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.800 pacing of River Craycraft's routes. He is so savvy man 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.160 the way he breaks off those things that angles back 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.559 to the quarterback, but just the timing of it within 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.160 the offense, you can see he's a guy that has 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.320 been in the system before. Let's go back to Greg 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.640 Little here, who stayed in for the majority of the game. 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.000 Haven't gotten extended look at him with the time that 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.680 he's missed this training camp in preseason, but I thought 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.440 it was really really good in this Game's got a 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.480 wide base, very good hand placement, getting all kinds of 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.280 drive at the point of attack in the running game. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.520 And that was an area we discussed last week, right 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.960 that swing tackle spot. He sure has heck made his 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.880 case for that job last night recording the podcast here 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.040 on Sunday. I think him and Solomon Kindley, who was 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.040 you know, who's had a really good preseason couple of 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.880 weeks of practice now the preseason games, he's been great 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.480 and all those Both of those guys stood out to 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.080 me in the rewatch Hunter Long's touchdown that was not 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.079 The notes are all over the place. I apologize for that, 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.040 um not really because it's just kind of how I 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.320 wrote with them down. But it's a pretty similar route 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.760 to the one that coach praised last week in his 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.760 press conference, those sort of post up, box out whip 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.840 routes where you're tied end down in the red zone. 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.360 I mean, if you can throw it against the leverage there, 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.440 which we know to what can do they can sure 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.880 as he'll be fruitful. And then the shot from Skyler 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.760 Thompson to him early in the third quarter. Wow, I 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:33.200 like this guy. I really like this guy. That was 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.440 some shot. And with Hunter a subtle little duck under 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.320 the backer who's buzzing to the flat. You see that 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.440 drill with receivers, and I see the linebackers do it 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.319 all the time too in their individual drills where they 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.680 work on pad level, operating under some type of apparatus 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.200 that doesn't allow you to stand up all the way, 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:51.600 like you have to kind of get into your crouch 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.920 and shuffle shuffle slide. I saw that application on this 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.959 route where you you run under like remember last year 0:12:57.960 --> 0:12:59.160 they had it. I haven't seen in this year where 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.400 they have those. Like you know, it's got like a 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.480 vertical post and then a crossbar of the top and 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.360 the receivers would run under those to get in and 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.240 out of their breaks. Sink your hips and get off 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.440 the top of that stem. You saw Hunter Along do 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.679 that on this play to avoid a reroute. Really good 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.840 stuff from him. Get off the line, get that pad 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.480 level low around the contact, and accelerate through that little 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.960 hip sync. Good stuff they're from Hunter Long. Michael Dieter 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.920 showed his ability to get out in space on a 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.440 Sony Michelle run down on the red zone. Man, he 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.240 had to get some width to get that block where 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.120 he's kind of stretching wide outside the numbers. He goes 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.560 and gets it. This entire offensive line, I mean, Rob 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.079 Jones had some good work. Adam Panky had some run 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.160 out left guard and he was good there. Remember he's 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.240 a guy that's cross training at center, was a tackle prior, 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.240 so he's looked pretty good at various points playing all 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.679 five positions along an offensive line. Kept an eye on 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.640 Kellen Dish late in the game. Man, he had some 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.640 really nice spatial awareness, kind of has a good feel 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.640 for the flow of the play, like when to help, 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.880 when to climb, and always comes to balance and control 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.920 in space. Thought Blaze Andrew's fired off the ball for 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.440 good down block on a Jared Doakes first down run. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.840 Really everyone getting involved in some way, shape or form. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.079 And how about those backs, man, that they all played 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.199 so well, Like even we didn't talk about the Quandrea 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.800 White yet, the back to back runs that he had 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.640 late in that fourth quarter super impressive with the burst 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.600 a quick feet that cuts to accelerate through those cuts. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.840 This team is deep in so many spots, as we'll 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.400 hear from coach McDaniel in just a little bit. Let's 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.200 go ahead and take our first break, come back on 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.040 the other side and do the defensive film breakdown and 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.920 some PF data. That's next on the Draft Time podcast, 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.640 your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:44.200 We're rewatching the Dolphins preseason finale, a forty eight to 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.400 ten victory over the Philadelphia Eagles with very heavy hearts 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:52.120 this week with the loss of Jason Jenkins. He's gonna 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.000 be a big part of the podcast going forward. Guys, 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.680 he was he was my like, he was kind of 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.400 like second in command on the podcast. That sounds funny 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.360 to say, because he was like the boss of of 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.080 so many people here because he you know, he's a 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.440 high ranking executive who you know, earned his way into 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.320 that role by working his butt off for for decades. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.360 And but he was like it was we talked sometimes 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.440 about like this is you and me man in this podcast. 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:16.880 So he was a big, big part of that, and 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.440 you know he'll be a big part of it going 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.960 forward to But uh, watching the game on Sunday was 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.400 a nice way to get my mind off of that. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.360 I'm gonna pick it up here with the defensive notes 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.560 and starting with really that first team defense because I 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.160 just kept going back and writing down more notes. Jalen 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.560 Phillips got got Juice's game ball, and when he said 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:36.040 that on the postgame show, I was like, really, I 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:37.440 thought there was guys that had more of an impact 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.240 than Jalen. But Red watching the film, no, No, he 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.960 was really really really good. It really really got his 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.480 dip and ripped to shorten that corner is so impressive. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:50.880 He ran a little cross chop on I think it 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.400 was the second play of the game, and it's screen 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.760 past the other way. He wins immediately, so he has 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.040 to stay active and just kind of continue that rush 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.440 arc back to the opposite side of the football, which 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.280 he does, and he finds the ball carrier and cuts 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.880 him down. It's ridiculous. He doesn't have the crazy sack 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.720 numbers this preseason, but my goodness, he's been so impactful. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.960 The same way you notice his effort and appreciate the 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.920 things that he does to help other guys make plays 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:15.760 is what we see with Christian Wilkins, who on the 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.400 second drive the first play, they ran at Wilkins and 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.160 they get a little bit of movement with a double team, 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.680 but the drops that anchor and gets back inside, coming 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.720 back over the top of the block, and the bat 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.720 cuts off of that and he teams up with Jerome 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.920 Baker for a stop. In the running game, Wilkins had 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.320 an awesome, awesome game. Him and Phillips gonna get some 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.080 run here in the notes, very next play, Phillips, Wilkins, 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.200 and Bonito Jones all win their past rush one on 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:42.640 ones immediately and Minshew Gokogs just has to eat it 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.600 and throw the football at the feet of his running 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:50.400 back back to Phillips again here who I've made this 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.800 point about his pass rush arsenal and the ability to 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.680 cultivate a plan and exploit the knowledge that the opposing 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.840 tackle has on him of that plan, after that cross chop, 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.040 he fakes this lateral step inside then does a snatch 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.600 and poll to get around the corner and hit Minshew 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.359 to impact the past. I can't wait to watch him 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:08.760 play forty snaps in the game. I said that a 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:10.199 few weeks in a road now because I think that 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.680 he has this idea in his head. If I do this, 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.359 this and this, it can get me in this position, 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:15.760 this part and later in the game that can do 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.119 like I think he I think he operates on that 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.720 high level of a football I Q standpoint. And you 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.960 pair that with his his measurables and his strength and 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:29.680 his speed and his motor A draft class last year, man, 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:34.000 I think it might be legendary. Later back to Wilkins 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.679 has a pick stunt on ray Kwon Davis's guy, and 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.920 even after the pick, he flattens back to the quarterback 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:40.720 and joins up with Melvin Ingram for a hit on 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.760 the quarterback, who also won his pass rush rep with 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.479 straight speed rush, which is you know, he's a guy 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:48.199 that can win with a bowl with power and speed 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.160 that forces an errand throw. And you know about Wilkins, 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.320 like the way he stays on his feet and like 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.760
