This is the Drive Time Podcast. So 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:10.240 the Buccaneers are up next, the defending world champions, a 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.319 team that has just loaded up on name talent and 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.920 a coaching staff that has found the mix to develop 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.160 that team chemistry quickly enough to make them champions in 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.120 year number one under a new quarterback in Tom Brady 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.560 under center, and it took them some time last year 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.880 to get things cranking. Remember, they were swept by the 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.120 New Orleans Saints, including a thirty eight to three loss 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.400 in Week nine, part of a streak where they dropped 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.680 three out of four games heading into their week thirteam 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.360 by week, But then it all changed for that club. 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.360 They picked up four straight wins to close it out 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.280 at eleven and five. Then it was three tight playoff 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.520 games before one of the more dominant Super Bowl performances 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.160 in recent memory to claim their second Lombardi Trophy there 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.560 in franchise history. And what was their story all off 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.120 season long? It was about how they brought literally and 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.640 not just saying like everyone literally every one back. They 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:05.279 have stars at every position between Brady, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.520 Antonio Brown looks like Pittsburgh a B again, Gronk, Ryan Jensen, 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.120 Tristan Works, Ali Marpett, Alex Cappa, as well as Donovan 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.880 Smith upfront, Shack Barrett, Jason, Pierre Paul and Donmackin, Sue Vitave, 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:22.040 Devon White, Lavonte, David Antoine Winfield. Now Gronk is banged 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.880 up and same at the cornerback position with Carlton Davis 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.680 and Sean Murphy bunting. But every group has dudes on 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.440 this football team, and arians found his conduit offensively to 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.880 the players in Byron Leftwich. And they've also got Todd 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.239 Bowls on that defense. Just a loaded roster and a 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.639 loaded coaching staff who are going to be prepared for 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.320 this Miami Dolphins team comes Sunday, and why don't we start, 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.360 as we do every preview pod, with the opposing quarterback. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.320 He's a good one. First, the Miami safeties and so 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.280 you know about Tom Brady, twenty years in the league 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.239 at a very high level, seven Super Bowl championships, insanely 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.920 polished pocket management and mobility. This guy prepares as well 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.000 as anybody ever has. And the frustrating thing about Tom 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.520 is that you can put together a good pass rush 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.080 and it's not like the Kyler's and the Lamars of 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.440 the world. But he's going to find the one vacancy 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.440 in that mess around him when there is pressure where 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.320 he can get to his spot and get his mechanics 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.799 right to drive the football. And that's another thing. It's 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.760 not just driving the football. He has the compliment of 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.560 a fastball a touch pass. Anytime he has to alter 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.959 his throw for the route and the coverage, he's got 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.480 no problem doing it. So you can choose to play 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.720 zone against this guy, but he's probably gonna pick you 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.400 apart you play a man. He's gonna find the matchup 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.520 he likes. It's up to you to win that matchup, 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.160 and then if you lighten the box to help out 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.119 in coverage, he'll just get to the right run check 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:44.960 and find a way to beat you, like you know 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.080 the drill. This guy is as tough as they come, 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.000 and the only way teams have ever really had success 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.080 against him in his entire career, and it's few and 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.960 far between, is really collapsing those step up lanes and 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.080 consistently winning one on one pass rush matchups that push 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.920 him off the spot while simultaneously filling the gaps that 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.680 he wants to get to. And the safety matchup on 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.480 Tom to me is more about Miami just trying to 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.240 match up and win to execute, because you can mix 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.160 it up for sure, and I'm sure Flores and Bowyer 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.200 will mix it up plenty here, But if you think 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.320 you're going to confuse him for sixty minutes, well I've 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.880 got a bridge for sale for you or something like that, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.479 And Flores said as much in his Wednesday media that 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.640 if you think you can confuse Tom Brady for entire 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.800 sixty minutes, like you've got another thing coming. So that 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.400 brings us to the safety matchups. We'll go ahead and 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.440 just parlay that into our next segment here with the 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.320 cornerbacks and receivers. But first, real quick, some numbers on 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:41.000 Brady versus the blitz for thirty nine this season with 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.520 eight point six yards per past three touchdowns and a pick, 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:48.600 but also when he's not blitzed, seven point nine yards 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.800 per past seven touchdowns and two picks. So damn if 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.200 you do, damn if you don't right well to finish 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.039 that point when under pressure, and the blitz numbers really 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.640 indicate that they're getting pressure with four on this guy 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.680 and really any quarterback. I mean, that's that's how this 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.919 lead works. Seven and coverage with pressure is tough to 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:04.919 be right, that's the way to go for Tom Brady 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.280 nineteen for forty when he's under pressure with five point 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.039 six yards per pass, but the touchdown interception ratio is 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.000 still very good at three to zero, and just looking 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.520 at his splits there are two segments of the field 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.680 where Tom is not currently killing it, and I'm not 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.520 entirely sure what to make of that. Maybe you guys 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.120 can help me out with what this means. But twenty 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.359 plus yards outside right of the numbers, which that's the 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.960 strong side for a right handed quarterback. I think he's 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.159 three for fourteen, but with a hundred and three yards 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.760 on those three completions with a touchdown and a pick, 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.560 and then the intermediate the ten to nineteen yard range 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.080 to the left, so like almost the opposite throw three 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.040 of nine for sixty one yards, no touchdowns or picks. 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.640 So are those levels you want to try to force 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.040 him into, like the smash concept on the right side 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.920 of the field, or some you know, some crossers to 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:56.560 the left side of the field, whatever the case may be, 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.280 do you want to force him into those areas? Are 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.160 those just kind of flukey things? I'm not really sure 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:01.680 what to make of that, but those are the numbers 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.400 I found on Pro Football Focus. Now, down the middle, 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.080 and this is confirmed by tape over the years. At 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.920 any level down the middle, he's very good, completing fifty 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.120 seven for seventy six for six d sixty six yards. 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.040 Interesting number there eight point seven six yards per attempt. 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.839 So I think that the middle of the fields an 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.200 area that you have to pay attention to, and that's 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.360 particularly where the safety's come into play, right, And I'm glad, 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.160 We're just I'm just glad we're not playing this guy 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.839 twice a year anymore. So onto the next position group 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.279 receivers and tight ends versus the Miami DBS. Now, Gronk 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.520 has not been ruled out this week. He missed last 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.240 week in Foxboro, and if he's in there, that makes 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.040 a big difference for the Bucks offense, both in the 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.839 run game in the passing game. Few are better blockers 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.400 in the run game off the edge, and he's still 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.760 an absolute threat in the passing game to boot and 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.560 you will likely need to win that matchup with one 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.560 man a lot because of all the other weapons that 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.560 they feature. Like to me, that's Eric Rowe's best ability. 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.000 And we heard him talk about his frustration with the 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.680 matchup on Moli Cox last Sunday on that touchdown in 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.159 the Colts game. I would rust Ero for a bounce 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.680 back here, and I think that's your best bet on Gronkowski. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.640 So if you want to double someone in this offense. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.240 Who would that be. I'm not sure there is a 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.080 good option for this Dolphins defense against or any defense 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:16.040 rather against that Bucks offense. So now Byron Jones was 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.520 out there at practice on Wednesday, and if he's not 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.960 okay to go, then we'll have you know, Xavian Howard, 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:25.120 Nick Needham, just justin Coleman and Noah eg Boogamy is 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.920 some of your options about there. But I think you'd 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.400 also consider some of your safety options and their ability 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.600 to come down and match up as well. Like, for instance, McCarthy, Jones, 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.240 and Holland have all played matchup football at one point 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.120 or another in their careers in terms of matching up 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.280 on receivers, and perhaps Holland is your post safety and 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.640 some of those man free looks where you press guys 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.200 to the line try to disrupt the timing of the 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.120 quick game. Because nine seven of a hundred and seventy 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.080 throws have come within ten yards of the line of scrimmage. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.000 So there's a chance for Miami to really prove their 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.920 strength in that area, to play that tight man coverage 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.360 on the perimeter as well as inside on the receivers. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.040 Mike Evans twelve TI gets last week, They're gonna throw 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.200 him the football. I think that at Xavien Howard matches 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.679 up well with him physically as far as the stature, 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.120 because Mike is so good and contested catches if they 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.360 want to go there. You know, Evans does average three 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.840 point two yards of separation, up from two point eight 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:18.240 last season, so it's not like he's not capable of separating. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.040 But he has such a reputation around the league for 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.080 a contested catch fiend that he is because he's been 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.240 top five in that category just about every single year 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.480 of his career. And the reason I'm curious about a 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.880 possible at max up with X is that I think 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.720 the Dolphins are gonna have to get takeaways in this 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.520 game to come out victorious, and they will. They will 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.559 throw the ball to Mike Evans regardless. They pumped the 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.800 ball to him twelve targets last week. They throw to 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.120 him all season long, and I want X to get 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.200 some chances at making plays on the football. He has 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.000 two off of Brady so far in his career in 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.360 terms of interceptions. Good time here to get a third. 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.320 What about Antonio Brown and eleven targets last week? They 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:53.920 know who they like to throw the football too. They 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.000 don't shy away from it. Byron Jones can he go? 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.160 If he does. I like the way he matches up 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.120 athletically with Antonio Brown on who is really one of 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.000 the best route runners of all time. And I think 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.040 we're seeing that kind of come back into the frame 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.480 here with Antonio Brown after the end of his Pittsburgh 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.600 time and then the Oakland era and then the Patriots 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.040 and then leaving there and coming back down to Tampa Bay. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.200 I think he's really put it all back together for himself. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.480 So if Byron can't go, though, is that no way? 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.000 Bean Agaeny? Is that Elijah Campbell? Is it? Maybe Nick Needum, 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.439 maybe it's Xavian Howard. Options are there, but I would 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.760 love to see Byron Jones get that matchup if he 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.520 can go in this game, and then Chris Godwin, I 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.080 think this might be a good spot for Nick need 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:30.680 Um to rise to the challenge. Who's had a good 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.480 start to the season and a good start to his 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.520 career so far. We talked about him matching up with 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.199 some of the best slots in the league last year, 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.040 from Cooper Cup to Tyler Boyd to Jamison Crowder and 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:41.920 how good of a job he did on those guys. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.640 Chris Godwin plays primarily in the slots, maybe that's his 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.079 matchup inside, and then Justin Coleman, maybe he plays inside 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.800 that nickel as well, especially if Byron's down. I would 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.440 imagine that Nick Needum could get an elevated snap count 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.600 and play perimeter, and then Coleman comes in the nickel 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.280 situations perhaps and plays that nickel spot. But that's been 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.440 his bread and butter inside and I think he'll match 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.480 up based upon who goes inside slash outside. Like last week, 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.720 Chris Godwin was in the slot for sixty five percent 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.079 of the snaps, then Cameron Bait was second at slot snaps, 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.680 played with fifteen percent of his work coming inside. So 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:17.080 they will run twelve personnel and utilize both Rob Gronkowski 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.760 and O. J. Howard in line. Both those guys play 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.720 in line roughly like seventy five percent of the time, 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.240 so they're gonna keep those guys in tight to the 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.760 formation to help with the run and passing game. With 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.400 Brad as essentially a souped up slot receiver to operate 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.440 from the same eleven and twelve personnel packages without having 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.120 to make a substitution. That's something you look to get 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.480 with your tight end position. Is that flexibility inside outside. 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.120 We talked about with Hunter Long and what he can 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.840 do as far as having that versatility when he develops 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.840 here full time, hopefully, I think you have that with 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.120 Cameron brad as well as those other Buccaneers tight ends. 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.679 And in fact, to that point, eleven personnel they run 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.600 at sixty seven percent of the time and they have 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.760 a sixty five percent success rate on running plays. There's 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.920 your tight end flexibility at work. Then when they go 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.080 twelve personnel with two tight ends in the field, they 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.400 have a fifty nine percent pass rate success us wise. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.160 So they find a good They do a good job 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.480 of getting up those personnel packages that draw a specific 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.560 type of defense, and then they run counter to what 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.760 that defense can defend at its best. And here in 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.880 Tampa Bay, thirteen personnel six percent of the time and 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.000 ten personnel, which is one tight end, no one back, 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.560 no tight ends rather and four receivers. They run that 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.560 four percent of the time, so a nice mix, but 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.640 primarily two thirds of the time eleven personnel, and that's 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.720 this is the gold standard matchup for me in this game. 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.840 Those guys versus our guys. But one of the keys 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.160 is going to be how Miami applies pressure to make 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.400 that matchup really more difficult on those guys. And that's 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.560 gonna be a massive challenge against this Bucks team as 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.280 we get into our next matchup here with the Buccaneers 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.640 offensive line versus the Dolphins defensive line. And I listen 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.000 those three names off the top, actually listen is all 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.640 five of them. I change my script there on myself, 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.440 but all five of the offensive linemen are damn good. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.720 Like pressures allowed and pass blocking snaps are these numbers 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.280 right here, Like they've all played all two two pass 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.720 blocking snaps, but pressures allowed. Donovan Smith left tackle eleven, 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.160 I'll emr Pett left guard eight, Ryan Jensen center seven, 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.959 Alex Kappa the right guard seven, and then Tristan Warps 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.360 at right tackle has allowed just five pressures on two 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.960 pass blocking snaps. That's one every fifth, less than fifty thirty. 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.719 I don't know math, but it's not it's good. It's 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.719 very very good. So they're tough, especially that second year 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.640 right tackle who was named to Pro Football Focuses All 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.920 Pro first Team, which coincides with plenty of pundits that 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.439 I read and talked to and and you know, talk 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.560 football with all the time, believing he could have been 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.760 a first team a p All Pro last season. He 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.720 was that good as a rookie. Now, nobody has surrendered 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.679 multiple sacks on their offensive line this season. In fact, 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.240 only one sack has been charged to either tackle. That 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.960 was Donovid Smith back in Week two against the Falcons. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.079 So getting those guys is both tough, surely through the matchup, 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.200 but also by the fact that Brady is just so 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.840 hard to get from those angles off the tackle. Because 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.720 the other four sacks this Bucks team has surrendered this 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.760 year and just six and four games is very very 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.520 good obviously, are attributed to a center, a guard, tight end, 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.960 and running back. So mugging up those backers and finding 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.319 a way to get home through those games and slants 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.480 and stunts and twists and creating rush lanes inside might 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.440 be the best route forward here. And that's assuming that 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.679 you can stump Brady with regards to getting the protection 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.680 call sorted out, which is a whole another animal on 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.720 his own right. But from a talent standpoint, Ryan Jensen 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.000 to me is as good as they come. I was 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.079 very intrigued by his free agency a few years back. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.720 I think it was like seventeen or eighteen when he 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.920 signed with the Bucks, leaving Baltimore. Such a good player, uh, 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.880 and both not just the talent but the technical refinement 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.880 that he plays with. Like I saw this clip. He 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.280 does a lot of work on the offensive Line Masterminds 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.240 with Duke Mayweather or is it many Manu Weather. I 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.240 forget the way you pronounce his last name. Duke Mayweather 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.199 the offensive line guru. He does the offensive Line Masterminds 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.080 camp every summer and he comes in there and talks 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.480 about things that he sees and does. And there was 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:54.640 a clip of him talking about how to accentuate to 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.400 the referee like that you're being held where you spin 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.000 out of this move and then it kind of forces 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.800 the defensive lineman to reach out too far over his 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.280 skis and fall forward. And I saw that in the 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.760 in the Bucks Patriots game on Sunday, Like it's really 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.640 high level thinking stuff. And then also his will and 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.160 the way he frustrates guys with just kind of how 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.680 he plays. He's kind of that kid that gets under 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.920 your skin on the playground type of player, tough, tough, matchup, 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.800 and he plays so hard. It would be nice to 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.320 see ray Kwon Davis get back to battle with him. Otherwise, 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.080 I think Adam Butler's speed and get off is a 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.720 trait to look forward there too in that potential matchup. 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.000 Then the two guards, it's not a whole lot different 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.080 finding a way to get their protection out of sorts, 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.760 but not committing those extra rushers too frequently. That's kind 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:37.880 of a balance and challenge you have there. You need 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.920 to see Christian Wilkins continue to win his one on 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.200 ones inside this week. That's big time. And then, just 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.640 because I feel like it's worth mentioning, I'm also super 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.840 intrigued by this og ball and worst matchup. Good on 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.400 good og Balls off to another strong start this season, 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.240 and if he can get Christian Tristian worths Man, that 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.840 would be an impressive win on his belt so far 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.600 this season. Then real quick, just because I think he's 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.080 heating up right now. Jalen phil Ups versus Donovan Smith 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.000 is a key matchup to watch. He needs to go 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.000 out there and beat Smith consistently, in addition to getting 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.200 those wins inside to force Tom Brady off the top 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.160 of his drop from the blind side and create more 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.800 pressure inside tough, tough asks. I know, but that's what's 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.120 gonna be asked up to be defending world champion in 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.560 their own building. Moving onto the Tampa Bay running backs 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.360 versus the Miami linebackers. We mentioned the running back sack 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.120 aloud that was charged to Ronald Jones, And look, this 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.320 Bucks team can go run heavy, they can go past heavy, 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.320 they can balance it. But one thing you have to 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.760 keep an eye on for sure is Rojoe out of 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.920 the backfield and he can exploit the one on one 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:36.920 matchups he might get, and he has the speed to 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.440 burn and taking the distance. I'll never forget watching him 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.160 go eighty five yards down the field for a touchdown 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.840 at Martin Stadium, go Coog's back. When w SU took 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.120 out number five ranked USC back in the day. That 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.640 was a fun time. But now, if there's one thing 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.480 you might look at here with the Bucks splits, Leonard 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.240 Fournette has forty four carries and Roe Joe has twenty one. 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.960 It's four point two yards per carry for four net 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.800 three point seven for Roe Joe. And maybe this is 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.000 a bit of a stretch, but maybe there's a bit 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.440 of a tendency there with regards to run past election 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.400 based upon the running back in the game. Because four 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.600 net he's going to challenge your ability to tackle. He 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.840 has seven four Smiths tackles on the season, so one 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.640 about every six or so carries, And we talked about 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.760 Miami needing to tackle better this week. You gotta bring 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:21.960 bodies to the party. You gotta wrap up, you gotta 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.400 execute your fundamentals that will be tested this week with 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.080 four net and the key here in this one because 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.760 it's a lot of gap scheme runs downhill and you 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.600 better buckle up and stop it. If you don't, it's 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.480 gonna be a long day for you. So as far 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.440 as your linebacker usage, we've talked about this unit kind 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.960 of being one that fluctuates and in accordance with the 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.640 defensive backfield as well, because someone comes on, somebody has 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.600 to go off, and that fluctuates to match what the 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.640 opponent wants to do. Right, So we know this is 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.480 a primary eleven personnel team and they run more with 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.880 four NET and pass more with Jones. So how will 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.320 the Dolphins deploy their linebackers? That's a question I have 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.920 going into this game or just a just a general 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.520 observation or storyline there. I like to have Roberts in 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.800 there on fort net because he's the physical tone center 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.000 of the defense for me and a damn good tackler. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:06.840 But if they do that, they can also try to 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.720 get favorable matchups in the passing game. So it's just 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.040 very tough to decide how you want to play this. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.080 As always your own. Baker plays most of the snap 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.920 so I'm sure he'll have his matchups and hands full 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.600 for himself as well in that regard on the other 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.920 side of the football, the Dolphin's offense and particularly the 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.320 quarterback versus the Tampa Bay safeties, I just want to 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:23.960 put this note in the real quick I found it 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.720 interesting Miami leads lead with thirty three percent of their 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.240 place coming out of twelve personnel packages one running back 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.639 too tight ends. I thought this was maybe more because 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.480 of the quarterback switch going from two to Jacoby after 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.680 he got injured back in Week two, but with two 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.080 of it was thirty seven and thirty one percent now 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.560 with Jacoby, so actually that number is brought down by 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.160 Jacoby's work. I just thought it was interesting a bit 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:47.080 of info there regarding twelve personnel packages and we'll see 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.280 if they want to continue that or mix it up. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.239 But Flow did say in his Wednesday pressor that they 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.840 have some depth in the receiver room with regards to 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.320 Will Fuller going on injury reserve. Some breaking news there 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.320 on the podcast. Not really breaking but I wasn't gonna 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.440 get to it just yet, but talking about the depth 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.520 in the receiver room and wanting to get the other 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.040 guys some opportunities. So we're gonna find out on Sunday 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.119 who that means increased time for and who Jacoby is 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.440 throwing two in this game. As for Jacoby, I'm gonna 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.800 go back to coach on this, and he said we've 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:15.800
