We opened us up with the 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.360 all review. Let's just go ahead and dive right in 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.840 and not dress this thing up. It wasn't pretty on 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.720 the offensive side of the football. Some promising stuff on defense, 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.080 and and even some silver linings. I suppose on the 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.800 offensive side. We'll go ahead and open it up right away, 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.560 starting off with two because from the very first play 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.280 I thought we were going to be in great shape 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.560 in this game. Because it was a familiar look with 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:15.600 a different wrinkle or different progression within that play where 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.080 you have the motion man come across the formation along 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.920 with an inline tight end who starts on the same 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.000 side the motion started with coming across the formation on 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.320 a split zone action, which gives you two guys flowing 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.800 to the same side of the field and on that 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.120 same side of the field the wide side of the field, 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.480 Jalen Waddle runs a takeoff and what that does is 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.200 it creates flow from the middle portion of the field 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.480 and it opens up a backside slant to davant a 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.800 Parker to create a ton of space in the middle 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.480 of the field to a comes off that field side 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.400 read to the motion to the inline tight end coming 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.440 across and split motion or split zone i should say, 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.160 and Waddle going vertical on that side, takes a look 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.240 over there, peeks back to the back side, and the 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.040 football is between the one and the one on Devonte 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.800 Parker's jersey for twenty yards to kick off the game. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.040 The very next play, intelligible man downfield gets called, but 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.840 it's a really nice screen set up where Austin Jackson 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.639 and Rob Hunt just come off their blocks as to 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.919 is kind of holding the ball to help the rush 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.840 get up feel a little bit more. They come off 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.960 their blocks and released downfield, and they're about three yards downfield. 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.239 The flags come out, and that sucks because it really 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.360 didn't impact the play as Miles was able to create 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.280 some yards or just pick up I guess what was 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.960 there for him on that well designed, well executed screen 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.840 otherwise from the ineligible men down field. And that takes 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.600 you back from you know, the Dolphins converted on that 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.680 first and fifteen after that, but it takes away a 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.160 snap your third ha half of the game coming from 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.600 plus territory down to the Titans like forty one yard line, 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.000 so that that hurt. And I thought, this is kind 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.760 of I thought. Rather The challenging portion of Towa's day 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:59.320 began with the Wattle corner route on possession number two, 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:04.000 where Wattle had really created some separation by pressing Kevin Byrd, 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.560 who's in the post, you know, put the field goal post. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.880 Put your hand with the fild goal post istra outlined 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.360 in the middle of the football field. That's where your 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.079 post safety typically plays. And Wattle knew that was kind 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.200 of the guy that was gonna go over the top 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.040 of him. On this corner route, so he takes a 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.800 release that has a steady stem right towards the safety 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.519 and then once he gets to a point where he 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.200 feels like Bayard has now had to kind of get 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.360 back on his heels and that back pedal because of 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.480 the speed that he threatens with, he snaps it off 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.960 to the outside and he by the time he drives 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.760 out of that back pedal for Byrd, it's too late 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.200 and the underneath corner had squatted on the flat route 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.520 by Isaiah Ford, So it creates this window and the 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.480 ball is out on time, and it goes right off 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.000 the very fingertips of Wattle, who jumped a little bit 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.000 early and kind of had to second clutch throw his 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.040 hands up after kind of you know how the guys 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.280 are the crazy ops kinds to spend themselves in mid air. 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.400 He kind of does that and he throws the hands 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.480 up and it just goes off the fingertips. And I 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.240 can't really pinpoint if it was a little bit too 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.440 late on the row, if it was a little bit 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:06.000 too high on the throw, or if Wattle expected it earlier. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.000 Either way, that's the ball we usually complete, and it's 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.240 off by a fraction this time, and that's kind of 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.440 where the off target thrower started to go. And I 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.480 really wanted throughout the course of watching this tape if 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.600 it was more so that the ball was not where 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.600 it was supposed to be, or if TWA's decision or 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.159 TWA's frame of mind about where the available passing window 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.279 on that particular throw and what the receiver thinks of 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.960 that same idea are different. Does that make sense because 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.640 there's one play and it's on my notes here, but 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.600 I'm jumping ahead where it's a dig route to DeVante 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:41.120 Parker and the the off cornerback drives on the inside 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.599 of this dig route and dig route straight vertical route 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.080 down the field, break it off inside. It's it's an incut, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.680 a dig route, whatever you call it. I mean, there's 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.760 different playbooks, have different verbiage for it. But on this play, 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.320 the off cornerback drives inside and basically there's a huge 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.160 window on Devanta's back shoulder and that's where two it 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.560 throws the football and you see Davante reached back with 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.960 one hand trying to grab that thing, and part of 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.440 me says, well, it makes no sense throwback shoulder ball 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.080 in that situation. But the other part of me says, 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.479 if he throws it in front of him, it's not 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.440 just a hospital ball, but possibly a pick. And so 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:15.760 I can't know that, But that's what I'm trying to 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.000 convey is these fine margins Dolphins missed in this game. 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.159 That was a big part of this game. And on 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.200 the very next play after this missed a waddle that 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.160 kind of got those miss conversations going. It wasn't great. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.280 He's got Waddle on a drag route to put him 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.360 in space one on one again against Kevin Byrd who's 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.560 closing from depth, who kind of had his mind the 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.520 number seventeen all game long. And two as choose that route, 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.720 which I was okay with because it's a tough he 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.440 has to break a tackle to get the first down 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.160 and he rolls left, and it's great because mac Hollins 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.839 has just turned his man around right at the sticks 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.480 on this third and nine play, and two had such 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.960 a free lane to throw the football, but he might 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:53.599 have even been able to run for nine yards in 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.560 the first down. But as he goes to throw it, 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.240 Holland is at the numbers on the football on the 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.279 fifty yard line, where it says five zero on the 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.200 on the field, and the closest titan is about two 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.400 steps inside of the hash mark, so he's got about 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.640 seven eight yards of solid separation. But the ball checks 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.320 up short. The mechanics looked good. I don't know if 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.240 he aimed it too low, if he didn't get the 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.160 right squeeze in the football. I'm not gonna sit here 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.120 and speculate what it might have been because I don't 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.200 know what it was, but what the result was that 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.400 it was a short throw to a wide open receiver 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.680 that you gotta hit those. That's just it's just all 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.360 there is to it. And there's a third and ten 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.479 where he runs out of bounds for one yard and 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.280 I was curious what happened on this play, and there 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.200 wasn't really wasn't much there, But there was one very 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.480 tough throw that he could have opted. Four, I think 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.920 where Mac wins a post route but as he does, 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.960 color flashes, the inside pass rush flashes in front of 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.200 to his face, and it would have been a great 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.640 anticipatory throw a solid forty yards downfield. They actually could 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.960 have been yachtsie for like a ninety yard touchdown. But 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.239 if he hits that we're talking like a career highlight 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.520 throw where it's remember that tanne Hill throw against the 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.240 Chargers into my six team where he took the shot 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.480 under the chin and the ball was right on the 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.160 money in the back of the ends on the Kenny Stills. 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.320 It would have been one of those types of throws perfect. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.520 He would have to see it early, let it fly early, 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.600 and taking the big shot and put the ball right 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.040 on the money. Instead, he decides to flee the pocket 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.760 and he no one uncovers after that, and it goes 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.000 for a one yard rush. I'd like to see the receiver, 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.160 the receiving options on scrambled plays find more creativity to 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.000 get off the plastering of the defensive backs. It seems 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.200 like it rarely happens for those Dolphins offense to create 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.840 those plays off script where the broken route gets re 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.680 routed and we hit the big play because of it. 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.880 I want to see more of that later. There's a 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.000 failed exchange. I have no clue who's a blame on 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.600 that on third and short. The Dolphins would convert on 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.480 fourth and one or fourth and two and nice little 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.960 dash past to Dermis Smith, but you can't wasiste downs 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.120 there's a throw to Mike get Sick on a slant 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.000 after the Titans made it seventeen to three. The footballs 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:51.800 behind him and kind of high. And I like the 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.440 high location because Mike plays above the rim more so 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.760 than any defensive back he's gonna see. But there was 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.640 an underneath defender that kind of I suppose could have 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.760 influenced the location of the throw. But either way, it's 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.040 Mike gets his hands on it behind the back of 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.720 his helmet and the location of it allows the defensive 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.560 back to punch it out. And you know, to have 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.040 mentioned they wanted to push the ball vertically down the field, 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.040 and they really tried it, and it was there. A 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.520 lot of these throws were there. They just couldn't execute 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.480 for one reason or another, which makes it even more 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.120 frustrating because of how the defense really held serve as 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.960 long as they could until that fourth quarter. You just 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.600 had a couple more of those chunk gains. You're talking 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.000 more points and at the very minimum, flipping the field 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.800 position to significantly help your defense. Opportunity lost there for 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.720 the Dolphins. Even the ensuing third down to a a third 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.360 and nine pass where two of Hitskasiki on a nice 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.840 timing throw to the outside, but Mike has to come 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.560 back inside. Like these are the throws that we talked 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.920 about earlier in the season where to his location was 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.520 turning these guys upfield into good yards after the catch. 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.520 He was just consistently off in this game, which is 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.080 the opposite of what we're used to with his precision 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.439 in the passing game. The next one was a nice 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.559 throw on a broken play where he could out wide, 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.120 And I talked about guys trying to create separation off 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.000 the plaster coverage from broken place when when the when 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.040 the play breaks down, the routes over, a defensive backer 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.040 taught to plaster, just find a man and glue to 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.000 him and stick with and the rest of the play, 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.760 and we don't create any big plays off of those. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.560 But on this one, Mike doesn't really get off the plaster, 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.319 but to of throws the ball away from the defensive 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.480 backs leverage and Mike's able to go to the ground 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.480 and make the catch. That was a nice throw, a 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.679 nice catch on a contested play, and then the very 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.120 next one they come back for another contested catch for 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.040 back to back fourteen yard plays, And that's where I'm 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:31.920 thinking all right he hit he hit Parker on a 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.160 slant here he h no check that was later in 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.480 the game. But hit these two throws to Mike a 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.960 sicky to get them going. They're get a little bit 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.360 of Temple going. And then the play where Monty Hooker 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.240 just drops the past that goes over the top of 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.000 Mike gets sicky. I broke it down the Sunday or 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.720 the Monday podcast rather. That was my least favorite throw 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.280 from two because he starts to reset his mechanics and 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.840 the throwing motion to get his feet and everything aligned. 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.880 And as he does that, the block that he's looking 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.439 at or that he sees or senses stabilize this, and 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.440 all of a sudden he has a clean pockets. So 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.840 he decides to throw from it. But he's already halfway 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.280 into the stride and throws from that position and the 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.080 ball sales on him into double coverage, which was not 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.560 the best decision, I don't think, and and Hooker drops 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.800 the football. So just these these kind of off the 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.199 radar types of plays over the last couple of weeks 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.320 we haven't grown accustomed to. I mentioned the location of 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.559 the throws on some of these capped off routes. Again, 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.800 I can't talk to it because I'm not sure the 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.000 calls with the decision making that those guys are making 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.120 on a play by play basis, But I did like 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.200 the slant route Davanta Parker on second and ten when 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.040 they're backed up after a tipped ball on first down, 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.360 goes short to Isaiah Ford, where the ball is right 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.480 on time into a very tight window in a big 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.040 spot where if you don't get a first down there, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.240 you're basically punt into field goal range for the Titans, 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.880 And that play kind of sparks momentum once again as 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.040 they get you know, back to back strikes down the middle. 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:49.719 Right after that, after a couple of runs to Mike 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.200 Gatsicki Durham Smith, one's a fastball, one's a floater, a 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.800 good look and drive, but then it stalls and the 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.920 next drive to DeVante Parker has all kinds of room 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.880 on a slant route and it's high another missed chance 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.439 for one of these really pitch and catch ten to 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.040 fifteen yard types of plays. It just really put the 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.200 Dolphins behind the chains all game long and kept the 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.640 offense from having much success. Later on a good conversion 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.839 rip over the middle on a quick crossing route to 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:18.080 Davante Parker right before the jailan Waddle bomb. And that's 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.600 where I get so confused. Back to that hall Ands 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.880 throw early and why I just think maybe it slipped 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.800 out of to his hand or something. Because on this play, 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.760 Waddle once again that same look from earlier attacks the 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.199 post safety who's at the field side hash the wide 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.040 side of the field hash Mark and Waddles lined up 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.800 wide outside the number, so he has to condense inside 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.960 and by the time he bends it back to the outside, 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.360 two was on his third hitch up in the pocket. 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.239 And that's kind of what you saw back at Alabama 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.840 with the vertical game, was those very clean pockets where 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.440 he can step up and drive the football and the 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.960 location of the ball was perfect. That's kind of what 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.600 I think you want to work towards if you want 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.840 to build a vertical game around this quarterback is trying 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.240 to find a way to solidify that protection consistently, so five, six, 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.360 seven times a game, and you can dial up these 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.840 seven step drops where he can hitch up and and 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.640 make his decisions and throw these accurate downfield balls, because 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.520 that's where the explosive plays are gonna come. You get 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.280 fantastic protection, a good route from Waddle and a big 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.920 time throw. Let's get going. But then it's a reverse 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.760 flee flicker. There's nothing down there, and he takes a 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.960 hit blindling the ball comes flying out. So the trick plays. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.679 They didn't fool Titans at all. They had great discipline 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.679 on all of them. And the fumble puts you in 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.120 second and long, and that's a short route to Durham Smith. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.440 Then you get a miscommunication to DeVante Parker on third 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.040 down where he runs a post, the ball goes to 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.079 the corner. Then the fourth down throw I thought was 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.920 really good, but there's a no call. Turner run downs 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.720 and that was really to three. After that was seven 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.040 and a half minutes to go. The next time you 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.040 get the football back again. They had chances right up 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.160 to the very end. Just didn't play well enough. And 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.280 that's it, that's all there is to it. Jacoby took 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.960 one snap. I thought the throw to Waddle was absolute 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:57.679 aces like comically perfect perfect on that third and short 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.320 throw down the field from Brissette to Waddle. Let's go 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.160 ahead and take a quick break. We're gonna come back 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.640 and talk about the rest of the offensive breakdown here 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:09.320 on the Tuesday edition of the Drivetime podcast. We've already 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.560 broken down the quarterback play and some of the offensive 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.440 play here on the Tuesday edition All twenty two Autopsy 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.199 review of the Dolphins and Titans Week seventeen game. We 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.360 pick it back up here with the passing options, and 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.360 there's not much to write about here with Waddle. I 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.520 asked coach about this on Monday, and he talked about 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.760 how they were able to give him different looks and 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.800 lots of doubles and brackets. We missed him a couple 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.559 of times, and that's what I wrote the notes, that 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.760 he was double frequently. There was a couple of times 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.280 where they had a trio of defenders bracketing him, just 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.280 locking him down completely in terms of not giving him 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.680 an opportunity to create space. And that one speed out 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.559 on the field goal drive, there was no separation on 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.920 that speed out route and he goes up with one hand, 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:48.640 but he can't pull it down. You just don't usually 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.920 see him blanketed like that, and that was pretty common 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.480 throughout the course of this game for Jalen Waddle. I 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.959 think it was somewhat indicative of one thing that has 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.360 plagued the Dolphins offense without the course of this season 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.920 is the secondary options in the passing game consistently not 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.360 being able to take pressure off of that. And that's 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.560 that's a big reason why you you you know, your 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.640 drive success rate, your points per game, your yard all 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.800 those numbers are down the twenties. I gotta have more 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.480 options than than just one guy consistently to to find 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.600 ways to beat doubles and beat single coverage even and 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.280 create opportunities like that. And that's that wasn't the case outside. 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.240 I mean, Christian Fulton and Jack Rabbit Jenkins did a 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.200 good job with tight coverage on Davante on Isaiah Ford 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.760 on mac Holland's all game long a. Monty Hooker was 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.320 really good on Mike get Sicky. He was aggressive and 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.440 didn't give him an opportunity to really open up and 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.160 get that long stride going. And then the drops. This 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:38.920 is my last note in the passing game here, really 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.560 the drops after the turnover on downs on the tour 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.880 to Parker in completion. That was disappointed to see. I thought, 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.480 I mean, Jalen Waddle drops an open slant. It's twenty 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.040 four or three at this point, so the game feels 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.480 like it's in hand. And then after that, Duke drops 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.160 a checkdown pass, Parker drops a slant, and then Mike 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.880 get sick. He drops a stick route that gets kicked 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.760 up into the air and picked off. Just not the 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.160 response you want to see after a tough game. And know, 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.160 I know, it's crappy conditions and it's like very bleak 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.280 at that point, and you're you're on the brink of elimination, 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.360 but you can you can still go out and catch 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.120 the football. Rob Hunt on the offensive line. I think 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.120 this is I don't know, the seventh of the last 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.280 eight or so games where I've just loved Rob's game. 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.000 You know, Duke pops a sixteen yarder and Rob on 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.880 that play drops his inside inside shoulder right into a 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.320 double team with Michael Dieter. He comes into it the 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.680 bass square. He comes off with the bass square to 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.640 climb to that second level in complete control, and he 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.920 just blocks out Rashaan Evans just basically engulfs him on 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.960 the play. He's been really, really good and on that 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.760 long Duke Johnson run, he had great backside vision, tremendous 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.000 burst and finished the run. Some of the stuff I 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:42.720 thought we saw the course of the game with Duke, 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.040 also what we saw in that Jets game when he 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.640 went off. But back to Rob. Before we go back 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.640 to Duke, there were some snaps where Jeffrey Simmons got him, 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.920 but like obviously, but he more than held his own 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.240 through the course of the game. So you look for 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.200 silver linings around this tape. Big Rob had himself a 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.960 battle with one of the best interior defensive line in 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:03.560 the league, and I thought he did more than held 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.240 his own. I thought he flat out one it. So 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.280 that's good to see. And then so Duke Johnson had 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.520 the big run, early fourteen yard run to start the 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.320 drive after the Dolphins fell down ten zero. You get 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.480 great push from both Liam Eichenberg and Austin Jackson who 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.760 kind of opened up a lane inside and he's threw 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:19.960 it in a flash. The very next run goes for 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.640 eleven yards from up temple type of drive. You get 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.040 two duo blocks, the two double teams, and he does 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.320 a great job of pressing the front side place side 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:32.280 double team of Rob Hunt and Jesse Davis. On Jeffrey 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.560 Simmons wrote down Simmons and forgot his first name for 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.920 a second, and it gives Mike a SICKI a better 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.840 angle because of the way he pressed that run at 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.400 the second level block to help him pick up eleven 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.320 yards and he hits that thing so quick when he goes. 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.880 Some of the sacks I thought were really coverage sacks 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.040 in this game for the offensive line. The first one, 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.760 you know, Waddle flashed into a brief window, but it 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.040 was a solid thirty yards down the field in a 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.000 pocket that was slowly caving in. Tough throw to make. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:58.680 I just don't think we're gonna pull the trigger on 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.240 those most of the time. Requires a lot of zip 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:05.080 and velocity to get that thing out there consistently against pressure, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.440 and you're putting it in harm's way. But good pass 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.199 pro throughout the course of this game, I thought on 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.800 some of those sacks. Even on the first one, Rob 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.359 picks up a stunt and really anchors against Nico Autry, 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.600 who loops around full speed, and Michael Dieter does the 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.920 same thing on the other side of that stunt, and 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:21.840 you know it was his guy who eventually got there. 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:23.919 But I thought he played pretty well on that play, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.000 and there was plenty of time on that sack and 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.720 a couple of the others just good coverage downfield. The 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.120 one sack that wasn't coverage was immediate pressure off the left, 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.760 two effective bull rushes on Austin Lee and put them 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.360 both into his lap pretty quickly. But again, pass pro 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.160 throughout the game I thought was very solid. They tried 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.240
