Speaker 1: What is up, Dolphins, And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.
Speaker 1: I am your host, Travis Wingfield, and on today's show,
Speaker 1: an all twenty two review from a second straight when
Speaker 1: the party keeps rolling for at least one more week,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about offensively, defensively, top five tapes and just
Speaker 1: how bad that Cleveland Browns operation was from the Baptist
Speaker 1: Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is
Speaker 1: the Draft Time Podcast. Man, it's kind of crazy to
Speaker 1: think about how my daughter sounds now compared to when
Speaker 1: I recorded that like a year and a half ago.
Speaker 1: They grow up fast. Week seventeen at the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: This will be a quicker film review, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ba humbug some people's opinions here a little bit. I
Speaker 1: didn't think it was as good offensively as I thought
Speaker 1: watching the game live on Sunday in that second half,
Speaker 1: and I will tell you why here in just a moment. Actually,
Speaker 1: let's do it right now. So I love the Dolphins
Speaker 1: game plan from the start of the game. A couple
Speaker 1: of outside zone runs sandwiched around the outside of a
Speaker 1: screen pass that was into the flow of the motion
Speaker 1: they put. They showed your pre snap, and they got
Speaker 1: the Browns defense moving laterally and downhill on those three snaps,
Speaker 1: and then they were able to utilize the play action
Speaker 1: passing game and those curl routes that are kind of
Speaker 1: how do I describe this, like their routes that the
Speaker 1: quarterback can see it and then throw it without a
Speaker 1: lot of danger when you get that second level impact.
Speaker 1: And I thought the Dolphins did a really good job
Speaker 1: of doing that to kind of ease Tyler Huntley into
Speaker 1: this game and his first start since October twentieth against
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. And you see it on the first
Speaker 1: non screen throw of the game. You get crashing linebackers.
Speaker 1: They're in single high safety with an outside leverage cornerback
Speaker 1: who has to also be aware by the way of
Speaker 1: the deep ball for Tyreek Hill, and it creates this massive,
Speaker 1: very clearly defined window which makes life easy on your quarterback.
Speaker 1: It's one on one stuff right there, right, good stuff
Speaker 1: to start, but we follow that up with a false start.
Speaker 1: We get a fifteen yard penalty on Isaiah Win at
Speaker 1: the conclusion of one of the first down conversions we
Speaker 1: get on this drive. Then we can a play where
Speaker 1: the quarterback puts both of his pointer fingers up to
Speaker 1: the side of his helmet, and all the other guys
Speaker 1: in offense say, can can can. That means they're going
Speaker 1: to trash that play and go to a different play
Speaker 1: they had called in the huddle as well, And as
Speaker 1: they can it, the ball gets snapped right into Huntley's
Speaker 1: lap and he's not ready for it. Like this is
Speaker 1: the type of stuff that doesn't happen across the rest
Speaker 1: of the league. And I really do think it's tied
Speaker 1: back to some of the stuff that Tua had on
Speaker 1: that walk and talk with that freaking food critic whoever
Speaker 1: he was, where he talks about all the pre snap
Speaker 1: checklists he has to go through, Like you can't tell
Speaker 1: me that Tanner McKee is just going to come in
Speaker 1: and play super well for the Eagles. And yet it's
Speaker 1: so hard for us to even get snaps off or
Speaker 1: not have three penalties on our opening drive when our
Speaker 1: starting quarterback is not out there. It's hard. It's hard
Speaker 1: to reconcile, it's hard to comprehend. Now love the eight
Speaker 1: chan dump off on third and eighteen before our first
Speaker 1: field goal. I thought that this game was managed in
Speaker 1: a way that tracked with what you were getting from
Speaker 1: the opposing offense, which was essentially, if we don't make
Speaker 1: any f ups on defense, they will not find the
Speaker 1: end zone, which is what you got. And I thought
Speaker 1: they played that way offensively when they got down around
Speaker 1: scoring range, like we have these extra wide splits that
Speaker 1: we really don't ever use like this Dolphins offense doesn't
Speaker 1: typically have receivers split outside of the numbers, much less
Speaker 1: two of them on any given play, and we had
Speaker 1: two receivers stacked outside of the numbers, and it created
Speaker 1: this huge vacancy inside and we were able to run
Speaker 1: this little leak Texas type of angle route from devon
Speaker 1: eight chan where he angles out in front of the
Speaker 1: or outside of the linebackers at the second level and
Speaker 1: gets an easy eight yard gain and when your kick
Speaker 1: on the ensuing play hits the crossbar and goes over,
Speaker 1: like literally every single inch you gained there was imperative,
Speaker 1: and they designed it in a way that essentially guaranteed
Speaker 1: them what they got. I thought that was very well done.
Speaker 1: They kept getting those drive starter looks, you know, balanced
Speaker 1: twelve personnel where you have two tight ends attached to
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, one on either side, that's how
Speaker 1: you get balanced unbalanced when you have them to the
Speaker 1: same side of the formation, you get the Browns in
Speaker 1: their base defense with a single high safety look. It
Speaker 1: indicates pretty obvious man coverage. They run the tight end
Speaker 1: to Tyreek side because you have basically one receiver to
Speaker 1: one side, one to the other side, a pair of
Speaker 1: tight ends to either side, and then your running back right.
Speaker 1: So it's fully balanced formation. The tight end to Tyreek
Speaker 1: side just runs basically right at the middle of the field.
Speaker 2: Safety.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna press his toes and make him know that
Speaker 1: I'm coming his direction. He has to respect my route.
Speaker 1: And it creates this massive amount of space with inside
Speaker 1: access against an outside leverage cornerback. So outside leverage is
Speaker 1: when you basically are trying to prevent the receiver from
Speaker 1: getting outside. You're gonna have your butt facing the sideline,
Speaker 1: turn parallel back into the field, and you're funneling stuff inside.
Speaker 1: So if they're gonna play that kind of coverage and
Speaker 1: we can run the same off with our tight end,
Speaker 1: that gives Tyreek free access to a dig route with
Speaker 1: no safety help. That is exactly what you want, and
Speaker 1: they hit it on the run, and if Tyreek breaks
Speaker 1: the shoe string tackle of that cornerback who's playing that
Speaker 1: outside leverage. It's a seventy yard touchdown because that safety
Speaker 1: got ran off. So not only do you create a
Speaker 1: super defined easy throw for your quarterback, you damn near
Speaker 1: gave him a seventy yard room service touchdown on a
Speaker 1: throw that quite frankly, you or I could have made,
Speaker 1: Like maybe not you were I, but it was not
Speaker 1: a difficult throw by any stretch. Now, it was a
Speaker 1: lot of air yards. So I'll probably get greted really
Speaker 1: well for that. But that's why we watched the film
Speaker 1: and break this stuff down that way. Next drive, same
Speaker 1: exact thing, that little play action fake where we slide
Speaker 1: the end around and you know, Tua takes the snap
Speaker 1: on this out of pistol off him and like he
Speaker 1: turns his back to the defense and kind of like
Speaker 1: slow steps the fake handoff and then gets himself right
Speaker 1: back into a throwing position. And this is where I
Speaker 1: thought Huntley began to kind of play a little bit
Speaker 1: sharper or made a little bit more plays with anticipation
Speaker 1: and rhythm of the offense, because he drives this football
Speaker 1: with anticipation. The tyreek on a little bender route inside,
Speaker 1: and I love the reaction off those first few throws
Speaker 1: that weren't angled in like a true dig. It was
Speaker 1: more of this like skinny bender where you would just
Speaker 1: basically attack the leverage of the cornerback and then kind
Speaker 1: of not really angle back to the middle of the field,
Speaker 1: but stack him on your back and slowly work towards
Speaker 1: the post to kind of make it like a scene shot,
Speaker 1: like a glance route almost, And they kept doing that,
Speaker 1: and the defense started backing up more and more, and
Speaker 1: the linebackers began to back up more and more on
Speaker 1: the second level, and we started to flatten those routes off,
Speaker 1: like a full ninety degree angle on a dig route
Speaker 1: to adjust for that. So I just thought it was
Speaker 1: a nice game plan and a good snapshot of anticipating
Speaker 1: what they might do to react to your early success
Speaker 1: and having a plan for that. So a big tip
Speaker 1: of the cap this week to Mike McDaniel and this
Speaker 1: Dolphins offensive coaching staff, because I told my co host
Speaker 1: on radio, I told my buddies who I text with.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to put it on social, but I said,
Speaker 1: I'm concerned if they come out in this game with
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley and it looks like it did in the
Speaker 1: previous games, where he either has no growth within the
Speaker 1: passing offense or you haven't adapted for his style of play.
Speaker 1: That would be a massive red flag and concern to me.
Speaker 1: But you didn't get that. You got the opposite, and
Speaker 1: that to me is very encouraging going forward, not just
Speaker 1: with this quarterback but the future of the quarterback position
Speaker 1: here in Miami as obviously next year you have to
Speaker 1: make the backups a priority in this offense. I tend
Speaker 1: to think he'll get a look at Tyler Huntley in
Speaker 1: this offense again, and probably a draft pick somewhere that
Speaker 1: you feel that you can develop them behind to it like,
Speaker 1: you have to start building this quarterback room because of
Speaker 1: two availability issues into the idea that you can develop
Speaker 1: a long term starter behind Tua and if they both
Speaker 1: work out, great, you move the younger guy and two
Speaker 1: as your guy for fifteen years. That's what we all
Speaker 1: hope for, but that's where you have to be. You
Speaker 1: can't go into next year with Skyler Thompson and Mike
Speaker 1: White as your only plans because they just were not
Speaker 1: up to par to play offense, to play football on
Speaker 1: this offense. I think Huntley showed you that he can
Speaker 1: do some of that, and we'll get to the nip
Speaker 1: here I have on Huntley in just a second. But
Speaker 1: also a younger quarterback that has the tools to grow
Speaker 1: and develop who is gives you a better skill set
Speaker 1: than what you got from Scalar Thompson.
Speaker 2: So I thought all those things were at play.
Speaker 1: I thought you got a big, you know, a massive
Speaker 1: pass of the test check mark for Mike McDaniel and
Speaker 1: his offensive staff. Now we break down the quarterback every
Speaker 1: time on the show, and you can hear the hesitancy
Speaker 1: in my voice, and I think that most folks here
Speaker 1: probably aren't the people on social that spout off at
Speaker 1: the mouth and say stuff I don't know anything about about,
Speaker 1: you know, my credibility or my film study or my
Speaker 1: knowledge of the game. So I feel like I'm talking
Speaker 1: to friends here for the most part. There'll be a
Speaker 1: few guys that straggle along they are still here, probably
Speaker 1: that I just don't really care about. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: nitpick Huntley because I didn't think it was as good
Speaker 1: on tape as it was when I watched it on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So you know, I praise those first three plays, and
Speaker 1: I praise Huntley for playing on time when I'm watching
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday, But then I dial up the
Speaker 1: first play, and yes, he does find Tyreek for a
Speaker 1: first down on second and ten on that curl. But man,
Speaker 1: if you have the All twenty two pulled up and
Speaker 1: you'll see exactly what I'm talking about here. The timing
Speaker 1: of the route could not have been matched up with
Speaker 1: the footwork and the drop of Huntley any better than
Speaker 1: it was. And like the minute you see Tyreek throttle down,
Speaker 1: Huntley is hitching up off the top of his drop,
Speaker 1: and that has to be one hitch timing ball out
Speaker 1: right now, I have to anticipate him coming back down
Speaker 1: the stem, even though he hasn't shown me his numbers
Speaker 1: and I'm still looking at his back. You have to
Speaker 1: anticipate and play that style of football, especially in this offense.
Speaker 1: But just to be a successful quarterback in this league,
Speaker 1: and Tyreek comes out of the break, it could have
Speaker 1: produced a much bigger run after the catch, because when
Speaker 1: the ball hits the receiver out of the break, that's
Speaker 1: the maximum separation, especially a receiver who can press the
Speaker 1: toes at four two, four to three speed and back
Speaker 1: him off and then show the quarterback his numbers. If
Speaker 1: you put that ball on him right when he turns around,
Speaker 1: he has five yards of space to operate with because
Speaker 1: that cornerback is still dealing with the fact that he
Speaker 1: just got ran off and has to change directions and
Speaker 1: now get back downhill and pursue Tyreek Hill as a
Speaker 1: ball carrier.
Speaker 2: But he doesn't do that.
Speaker 1: He comes off that hitch it passes up on that
Speaker 1: throw that's wide open, and scrambles around and moves to
Speaker 1: his right and throws it two or three beats later,
Speaker 1: and we.
Speaker 2: Get to completion him.
Speaker 1: But it's just not good quarterback play because you're not
Speaker 1: playing within the rhythm of the offense and you minimize
Speaker 1: what your player could do after the catch. He still
Speaker 1: gets the stats. It still looks like a good throw
Speaker 1: from the quarterback. And I'm not complaining about that. We
Speaker 1: did move the chains. But these are the high level
Speaker 1: nuances of Tua's game that people just don't see at all,
Speaker 1: and you can see when any other quarterback plays in
Speaker 1: this offense, it just cost you yards.
Speaker 2: It cost you opportunities.
Speaker 1: It's like you know sometimes when you like pass a
Speaker 1: slow moving car and you wind up getting at the
Speaker 1: red light ahead of that car, and then he pulls
Speaker 1: up behind you and kines.
Speaker 2: Like, what were you doing back there? Like we both
Speaker 2: got to the same destination.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But if I do that ten times in a row,
Speaker 1: you know, eight of those times, maybe I do hit
Speaker 1: that green light, and it pays off the eight times
Speaker 1: I do it, compared to the two that don't pay off,
Speaker 1: Like good process pays out, pays off in the long
Speaker 1: term when you do it over and over again. Now,
Speaker 1: after the first couple of drives, I felt like he
Speaker 1: did lock in and all that prep that he kind
Speaker 1: of you know did over the last couple of months
Speaker 1: clicked into place for him. Like the footwork was smooth,
Speaker 1: the timing was smooth, the location was really good. In
Speaker 1: the footballs that he was throwing. He was throwing with
Speaker 1: anticipation and those plays where he's throwing those little skinny
Speaker 1: benders inside almost like a mini bang eight. A bang
Speaker 1: eight is where, like you basically it's like a slow
Speaker 1: developing post route to the goalpost, right, we do this,
Speaker 1: but like at an abbreviated version of it, like almost
Speaker 1: like a glance route, I think, or the straight digs
Speaker 1: where it's you know, twelve fifteen eighteen yard intervals down
Speaker 1: the field. You hammer that thing off at a ninety
Speaker 1: degree angle back inside, which we talked about in the open.
Speaker 1: Those were all sharp and you can win with that approach.
Speaker 1: I just hope that that first couple of throws that
Speaker 1: were not on time in a rhythm was because of rust,
Speaker 1: and we saw more of it in the second half
Speaker 1: that got better. You know how, we always praised too
Speaker 1: it for ball handling too. By the way, Tyler was
Speaker 1: incredibly sloppy on that Malik Washington end around that got
Speaker 1: popped for like a ten yard loss. The crashing linebacker
Speaker 1: was ready to chase that play from the front side,
Speaker 1: but Huntley kind of holds the ball out there and
Speaker 1: telegraphs he's gonna flip it, whereas Tua like holds it
Speaker 1: and kind of, you know, accentuates those fine details. I
Speaker 1: know how this is going to get great for people
Speaker 1: that don't like to his game, but I feel confident
Speaker 1: in how I view the tape, and that's why I
Speaker 1: saw Another grap I have is when he comes off
Speaker 1: the first read, the initial reaction is to start moving.
Speaker 1: It makes it really hard to play instructure against a
Speaker 1: defense that has its top guys and is well connected,
Speaker 1: and I think that's why you saw things really flip
Speaker 1: in that second half when Denzel Ward goes out because
Speaker 1: the ball's coming out to that first read a lot
Speaker 1: easier when he's not in the game, taking away Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill on a handful of reps, like after the Tyrell
Speaker 1: Dotson pick, he takes a sack on second long where
Speaker 1: if he just played from the pocket and progressed through things,
Speaker 1: he would have had John H. Smith for a checkdown throw,
Speaker 1: but he scrambles himself right into a sack. That throw
Speaker 1: to John wu that was DPI negating an interception. The
Speaker 1: result doesn't excuse the process.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: The first half tape was just not good. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be honest with you guys. He was late on that throw.
Speaker 1: It was behind you, John Who Smith. You can see
Speaker 1: John Who sells the corner and then takes it back
Speaker 1: to the post a copper route corner post route, but
Speaker 1: the ball leads him up the numbers opposed to slashing
Speaker 1: across the field to the logo, and it allows the
Speaker 1: defensive back to undercut it and make this crazy interception.
Speaker 1: But you did get bailed out because he climbed John
Speaker 1: Newsmith's back because he was that well stacked from a
Speaker 1: route running perspective to get the DPI instead of the interception.
Speaker 1: Then the next throw is way behind my league Washington,
Speaker 1: and he makes a great catch off of his frame
Speaker 1: to juggle it and put us back into field goal range.
Speaker 1: I thought the first half was quite frankly brutal and
Speaker 1: scoring six points and having that many misthrows and that
Speaker 1: many failed operations. That's what you get in that situation. Now,
Speaker 1: the reason I thought his game was good. I thought
Speaker 1: the second half was a lot better. The three plays.
Speaker 1: I want to really emphasize and praise him for the
Speaker 1: shot to create craft before his touchdown run. He got
Speaker 1: an indicator of leverage and the shell based upon the
Speaker 1: route combination, and confidently drove that thing with velocity between
Speaker 1: the eight and the five on the jersey. A beautiful throw.
Speaker 1: I will always praise it when I see it. The
Speaker 1: touchdown run after that, there's no breaking down of the
Speaker 1: film here. It's just Sam Law football, and we had
Speaker 1: the best athlete on the field for that play, making
Speaker 1: moves and finding the end zone.
Speaker 2: Great play.
Speaker 1: Snoop all at a fourth play, the one that coach challenged.
Speaker 1: I still think he got that first down and it
Speaker 1: was a hell of an effort. But the third play
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about was the third and seven
Speaker 1: scramble on the two drives later after the touchdown. Fuel's
Speaker 1: man coverage sees a gap in the rush lanes. They
Speaker 1: don't have good rush land integrity, and love when a
Speaker 1: quarterback is aware of that and man coverage because then
Speaker 1: you know you have space to run because guys have
Speaker 1: their backs to you and just hits it with conviction,
Speaker 1: very very well done, and then you know the balance
Speaker 1: the awareness go get it for us. Made a great
Speaker 1: play there, So good stuff on the second half. I
Speaker 1: thought the first half was pretty rough and overall a
Speaker 1: kind of an average quarterback game that was I thought
Speaker 1: really well called and manicured from a coaching staff perspective.
Speaker 1: First break right there, come back on the other side,
Speaker 1: talk about offensive standouts and misses well to the defense
Speaker 1: later on as well. That's the next Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 1: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by I don'tation
Speaker 1: Dolphins win this one in Cleveland twenty two three. The
Speaker 1: individual standouts offensively begin with Tyreek Hill, who has been
Speaker 1: hearing it from me on the podcast, right. I thought
Speaker 1: he's not played well. His attention to detail has been
Speaker 1: bad and cost us some big moments. But I thought
Speaker 1: in this game, you got full conviction, full urgency Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: and that.
Speaker 2: Was awesome to see.
Speaker 1: I love the way he attacked the football with aggression,
Speaker 1: came back to it and caught it with his hands.
Speaker 1: I thought he moved at a different rate in this game.
Speaker 1: His releases were fantastic. He was getting up to a
Speaker 1: full speed very quickly off those releases and forcing cornerbacks
Speaker 1: to declare, which that's like. You know, Tua talked about
Speaker 1: indicators last week with Jalen Waddle and how good of
Speaker 1: a job he does to basically tell the quarterback what
Speaker 1: the coverage the leverage might be. That's why I saw
Speaker 1: in this game from Tyreek Hill where he would quickly
Speaker 1: force defenders to declare their coverage by flipping their hips
Speaker 1: or you know whatever it is that declares that based
Speaker 1: upon how you react to the route. And then he
Speaker 1: would break off the stem just as they hit full
Speaker 1: speed and forces these guys to change directions on a
Speaker 1: field that was a pretty slippery track, and he played
Speaker 1: with urgency. I thought that popped off the tape all game,
Speaker 1: especially on those eighteen yard curls where he would push
Speaker 1: the roof of the defense with that urgency, with that explosiveness,
Speaker 1: with that downfield threat, and then get back down the
Speaker 1: stem and create these really big windows for snoop on rivers,
Speaker 1: big conversion. Tyreek runs a double move and left Martin
Speaker 1: Emerson in the dust, but we didn't see him on
Speaker 1: that throw, so he was open all game long, caught
Speaker 1: all nine targets, and he overcame an opening drive where
Speaker 1: I was like, this is more of the same because
Speaker 1: we had two miss key blocks on a nice eight
Speaker 1: chan run and a screen also got hit for a
Speaker 1: holding earlier. But after that, I thought he played a
Speaker 1: pretty perfect game. So Tyreek Hill big bounce back here
Speaker 1: against the Browns and an offense that had to have
Speaker 1: their best player make some plays in this game, and
Speaker 1: he did that. Leak Washington the details on this, dude.
Speaker 1: We hit this comeback to Reek to start the second
Speaker 1: drive of the game, and Malik has to have an
Speaker 1: outside release on a number two cornerback who's outside leveraging him,
Speaker 1: and he's trying to take it away with that outside leverage.
Speaker 1: But Malik rains and works the entire way up the route,
Speaker 1: eventually winning that position on the field, and it helps
Speaker 1: create this perfect throwing lane for Tyreek to have the
Speaker 1: comeback route on the snoop.
Speaker 2: Scramble to the left.
Speaker 1: Then he's making these tough catches in traffic, getting extra
Speaker 1: yards after the catch. Had the bad drop, but still
Speaker 1: a very strong game on balance. We've basically seen every
Speaker 1: young receiver that's come here not be able to even
Speaker 1: get on the field.
Speaker 2: This dude gets it. He's getting an increased workload.
Speaker 1: I think you found your future at number three or
Speaker 1: four receiver, depending on your depth in health and your
Speaker 1: punt returner. Good sign here from Lake Washington. Kendall Lamb
Speaker 1: did a fantastic job and one on one pass pro reps.
Speaker 1: I thought he lost the block on the fourth and
Speaker 1: one that could have produced a first down had he
Speaker 1: made it, but he had a ton of other blocks
Speaker 1: in the game off the edge. He's been very solid
Speaker 1: these last two games, especially in pass pro coming back
Speaker 1: from the injury. Gosh, I wish we had Tea Stead
Speaker 1: and Lamb for that Texans game and could run it
Speaker 1: back because maybe you would have already been in a
Speaker 1: winning in position right now if you had that for yourself.
Speaker 1: Julian Hill, his development within the season this year has
Speaker 1: been really good. No fans wanted to to, you know,
Speaker 1: the tangible things that you can see right, penalties and
Speaker 1: drops and fumbles, and I get it. It was bad
Speaker 1: there for a while, but there were still reps on
Speaker 1: tape where he was really wiping the edge out in
Speaker 1: the running game. And he's not all the way there,
Speaker 1: but he does make a handful of these really tough
Speaker 1: blocks off the edge where he has to basically gain
Speaker 1: outside leverage against guys that are outflanking him by multiple gaps.
Speaker 1: I just thought despite the fact that the run game
Speaker 1: didn't have much success in this one, I thought he
Speaker 1: was very effective and denting the edge as it were.
Speaker 1: He also managed to impact like three Browns defenders on
Speaker 1: that Snoop touchdown run. So a good work from Julian
Speaker 1: Hill in this game. I think that between him and
Speaker 1: John new Smith, there's a really good draft class of
Speaker 1: tight ends this year. I feel pretty good about finding
Speaker 1: one of those guys, Jackson Hawes from Georgia Tech, and
Speaker 1: rounding out this Dolphins tight end room with three good players.
Speaker 1: I think that we'll talk about the other one here
Speaker 1: in just a second, Patrick, Paul, you're gonna get some
Speaker 1: mixed reviews on his tape. But there was a couple
Speaker 1: of reps in Pass Pro where the best pass rusher
Speaker 1: on the planet kind of got Myles Garrett. But the
Speaker 1: way that he guides or rather glides i should say,
Speaker 1: into his past sets at that size.
Speaker 2: It's pretty rare. It's pretty rare, guys. He was also
Speaker 2: a bully in the running game.
Speaker 1: Like there were some reps where guys were like, all right,
Speaker 1: get off me fifty two, Like he just keeps on
Speaker 1: blocking him. I love how he can engage and flip
Speaker 1: his hips at the point of attack in those B
Speaker 1: and C gap runs where like they want to run
Speaker 1: it off of his button, the B gap right off
Speaker 1: of his the right side of his his right post
Speaker 1: because the B gap has been tackled and guard where
Speaker 1: he has to go find a or rather, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: the sea gap off of his left side where he
Speaker 1: has to go reach a player who's on his outside
Speaker 1: shoulder went across his face and then get his hands
Speaker 1: in position to where he can flip his butt into
Speaker 1: that sea gap and wall it off and seal it
Speaker 1: you get a seal here and a seal here, and
Speaker 1: you run it.
Speaker 2: In the alley. He does that pretty well. I thought.
Speaker 1: You know again, he got beat a couple of times
Speaker 1: where his feet would go dead upon contact with the
Speaker 1: punch and Miles would like slap the hands down and
Speaker 1: get himself over his skis. But I can out of
Speaker 1: this tape and out of the season in general, convinced
Speaker 1: that we have our left tackle of the future.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Jeff Wilson for his blitz pick up
Speaker 1: on the Huntly third down scramble in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Fantastic rep. And I think Jeff has earned some more
Speaker 1: playing time that he's got the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: And then shout out to Toront Armstead. I know he
Speaker 1: got banged up and left the game at halftime or
Speaker 1: late in the first half, but he was dragging that
Speaker 1: leg around, man, and I think he should be commended
Speaker 1: for not only go trying and giving it a go,
Speaker 1: but also bowing out and saying like, hey, takeover because
Speaker 1: I just can't go. I think that's commendable from Toront Armstead.
Speaker 1: Individual misses durham smythe like they talked about on the broadcast,
Speaker 1: but there are just so many reps where everything is
Speaker 1: blocked and then eighty one fails to his assignment on
Speaker 1: our first field goal drive. He just totally whiffed on
Speaker 1: a toss play the results in TfL and that's just consistent.
Speaker 2: Isaiah Win. I thought he had a rough game.
Speaker 1: I think he's won the battle clearly here if we're
Speaker 1: gonna call it that, But I wouldn't call it a
Speaker 1: good game for him. He got beat across his face
Speaker 1: for a sack, had a really dumb personal foul, fell
Speaker 1: off some blocks and didn't get connected to the second level.
Speaker 1: Not his best performance, but the guy behind him was
Speaker 1: I thought really bad. I thought was really really bad.
Speaker 1: Kept falling off blocks, couldn't hit reaches at key points.
Speaker 1: He gave ground against both pass rush and knockback in
Speaker 1: the run game. I think it should be seventy seven
Speaker 1: the rest of the way, and even if it's just
Speaker 1: one game the rest of the way. Rob Jones, I
Speaker 1: thought it was the same as Liam. A lot of
Speaker 1: pass rush pressures through his gap, but he just consistently
Speaker 1: loses blocks on second and third effort, and that's been
Speaker 1: the case all year long. I thought it was glaring
Speaker 1: in this game, eighth Chan made that catch that didn't
Speaker 1: hold up where he basically showed you for the second
Speaker 1: straight week receiver skills, and that was incredible. But I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, there is a reason this guy has the
Speaker 1: lowest rush yards over expected in the entire NFL. He
Speaker 1: consistently makes bad reads. Like the fourth down play. It
Speaker 1: wasn't well blocked and I don't think he would have
Speaker 1: gotten the first down, But I have no idea what
Speaker 1: the hell he was thinking on that track. He pressed
Speaker 1: that thing so far wide when there was nothing out
Speaker 1: there and there was a screen on, like the second
Speaker 1: play of the game where he he danced around and
Speaker 1: tried to search for the home run.
Speaker 2: Sometimes we just have to hit it.
Speaker 1: And I hope someone sits him down this offseason and
Speaker 1: goes over the film and says, like it's okay to
Speaker 1: run for five and six yards of pop, man, We
Speaker 1: don't have to go for seventy every play snap counts
Speaker 1: in the game. Snoop, Rob Jones, Aaron Brewer, and Kendall
Speaker 1: Lamb all go the distance. The Tron Armstead Patrick Paul
Speaker 1: split goes twenty seven for t Stead, thirty three for
Speaker 1: Pat Paul, and the Lynn, Liam and Win platoon, which
Speaker 1: I imagine is over, but we'll see. Goes thirty four
Speaker 1: for Isaiah, twenty six for Liam. Tyreek played eighty eight
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps, also gave you some pump returns
Speaker 1: in the game, Malik eighty six percent, creat Craft thirty
Speaker 1: three percent, and d s Gridge played two snaps. Julian
Speaker 1: Hill led all tight ends with sixty two percent of
Speaker 1: the snaps, Johnny Who played forty eight percent, and Durham
Speaker 1: gave you twenty eight percent. The running back workload was
Speaker 1: different and unique eight Chan had fifty three, Heem forty percent,
Speaker 1: alec Ingold played thirty eight percent, Hefe had eight snaps,
Speaker 1: and Jalen Wright got two snaps.
Speaker 2: Last break right there, come back on the other side.
Speaker 1: Do the defense in the top tapes Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 1: asked your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by I Dontation.
Speaker 1: We have covered the quarterback and the offense and the
Speaker 1: individuals and the Dolphins twenty to three win over the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Let's go ahead and get into
Speaker 1: the defense here. And I gotta say forgive me for
Speaker 1: immediately looking ahead on a day where we extended a
Speaker 1: season into week eighteen after a two and six start.
Speaker 1: But I feel like you've really uncovered some solid depth
Speaker 1: that maybe you didn't even know about as recently as
Speaker 1: like six or eight weeks ago. And by that I
Speaker 1: mean Benito Jones is a guy that I thought had
Speaker 1: underwhelming tape in Detroit and Miami previously, who has shown
Speaker 1: me a real fit both against the run and as
Speaker 1: a periodic pass rusher in this defense, like a thirty
Speaker 1: percent player. I think that's a very valuable role to
Speaker 1: have in this defense. And the same with Quinton Bell
Speaker 1: off the edge. I felt the same way about Tyas
Speaker 1: Bowser when he went down and then at the edge
Speaker 1: position that's on top of Deshaan Han behind Zach Seeler.
Speaker 1: Feel like you still have a big need there, especially
Speaker 1: if kalay As Campbell re tires. If I bring Kalays back,
Speaker 1: I still want one more body there, But I feel
Speaker 1: like you have some decent depth there all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: with Benito and DeShawn hamplay in that way, and then
Speaker 1: with Quentin Bell and Tyas Bowser off the edge, with
Speaker 1: the growth from Chop Robinson in year two and getting
Speaker 1: both Chubb and JP back, suddenly it becomes a deep room.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I do think you probably need another relatively high investment
Speaker 1: off the edge to account for the fact that the
Speaker 1: top two guys are a thirty year old coming off
Speaker 1: a massive injury for like the third time in his
Speaker 1: career and a guy that has missed twenty one and
Speaker 1: a half of the last twenty three games in Jalen Phillips.
Speaker 1: But at least at least you found some depth there.
Speaker 1: And the same is true at defensive tackle, where I
Speaker 1: kind of thought we were in trouble when Tierre Tart
Speaker 1: didn't make the team, Jonathan Harris didn't make the team,
Speaker 1: Neville Gallimore didn't make the team. But both Benito and
Speaker 1: DeShawn have given you a lot and that is encouraging.
Speaker 1: And the reason I thought of this because the first
Speaker 1: play of the game, you know, and with a notion
Speaker 1: that Chubb and JP are waiting around the corner, like
Speaker 1: I see this game open up with Benito Jones as
Speaker 1: the backside one technique, Zach's either the front side three
Speaker 1: technique with Kalayis as a six technique, and Ogba the
Speaker 1: sixth technique on the other side, and then you have
Speaker 1: Quentin bells the wide nine to kalais aside. So a
Speaker 1: five man front that basically has size at every position,
Speaker 1: and they're in this twelve personnel grouping two tight ends
Speaker 1: with balanced personnel one tight end to either side of
Speaker 1: the formation, and we can call upon this defense that
Speaker 1: has three defensive tackles and two outside linebackers playing multiple positions,
Speaker 1: and they can get a hat into every single gap
Speaker 1: in the run fit. I think that Weaver man like
Speaker 1: he's just so prepared for everything a team can possibly
Speaker 1: throw at him. He knows his player strengths, he knows
Speaker 1: where they're vulnerable, and does a great job maximizing the
Speaker 1: situations for the former and minimizing them for the latter.
Speaker 1: The third half of the game, they present man free,
Speaker 1: which is man coverage across the board, one free safety
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, and then cater rotates
Speaker 1: into a deep half invert cover two with Javon playing
Speaker 1: that deep portion on the other half of the field,
Speaker 1: and Jordan Poyer peels out into a deep hook drop
Speaker 1: after showing what was going to be man coverage, and
Speaker 1: I think that dtr hesitates a beat on his throw
Speaker 1: and ultimately misses it because it was if it was
Speaker 1: perfect timing and location, it would have been a conversion.
Speaker 1: And if you're playing Patrick Mahome, maybe it is. But
Speaker 1: that's the whole point of defense, right make the quarterback wrong,
Speaker 1: make them second guess themselves. And he does it all
Speaker 1: the time. On this particular drive, creates a three and
Speaker 1: out to start the game. Now I've got a one.
Speaker 2: Drive later, I got a zero presentation.
Speaker 1: Looks like cover zero cross the board and it turns
Speaker 1: into cover three with trail technique underneath. Like just these
Speaker 1: coverages that you wouldn't think you can get to from
Speaker 1: what it looks like pre snap.
Speaker 2: And it's really pretty to see. I broke it down
Speaker 2: last night.
Speaker 1: But I love the way they got the Dotson pick
Speaker 1: with a split field look, dropping him eighteen yards into
Speaker 1: that hook zone, a little bit deeper of a hook
Speaker 1: drop than you typically get. That's like what Fred Warner
Speaker 1: does against the Dolphins when they play US. But dtr
Speaker 1: has to layer that throw better. But it's a great
Speaker 1: bait and switch type of call to kind of show
Speaker 1: him like, hey, you have the middle of the field
Speaker 1: access right here for this eighteen yard dig route.
Speaker 2: Oh no you don't.
Speaker 1: There's dots in taking that away. The fourth down stop
Speaker 1: I felt swayed. The game was also a really just
Speaker 1: a good team effort. I think they actually have it
Speaker 1: pretty well blocked. If not for Kalayis Campbell just straight
Speaker 1: up swimming the left guard and leaving him in the
Speaker 1: dust and crashing the backside part of the formation, meeting
Speaker 1: the back right at the point of attack behind the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Then you'll get Quentin Bell sifting from
Speaker 1: that backside as an unblocked defender. Which when you get
Speaker 1: those like you know, nine on nine counts in the
Speaker 1: box on fourth and one, you're always gonna have that
Speaker 1: backside defender left unblocked because they're trying to drive forward
Speaker 1: and get that yard. But he did a really good
Speaker 1: job of squeezing in tight to the line and tight
Speaker 1: to the formation to help, you know, jump in there
Speaker 1: with Kalais for the tackle. And then Zach Steeler literally
Speaker 1: throws himself back into the gap after he disengages from
Speaker 1: a front side double team strain execution will another thing
Speaker 1: of beauty and a calling card of this anthem we
Speaker 1: were defense. Now, let's make this point very clear. I
Speaker 1: think DTR is probably in the AFL or whatever the hell,
Speaker 1: that other league is by twenty twenty six and this
Speaker 1: operation is awful. I don't think the Browns offensive scoring
Speaker 1: double digits on any team they face in the NFL,
Speaker 1: So it's tough to draw too much and we'll keep
Speaker 1: it brief because of that. But the individual standouts spoiler.
Speaker 1: We voted for Team MVP today the media. I voted
Speaker 1: for Jordan Brooks. I think that he has been the
Speaker 1: most reliable, most durable. He's played the most snaps on defense.
Speaker 1: You can cut it and pace this every single week
Speaker 1: like he does it in all three phases. He cuts
Speaker 1: down this tight end leak that had him outflanked by
Speaker 1: two steps because he wanted it more and beat him
Speaker 1: to the spot for a two yard game.
Speaker 2: He goes.
Speaker 1: He comes within a half step of a pick six
Speaker 1: on the next drive, but does n't mope about it
Speaker 1: and just fires off the snap on the next play
Speaker 1: and makes a TfL had that big fourth down stick
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. This guy is just
Speaker 1: consistently awesome. Pass rushing off the edge, dropping from the middle,
Speaker 1: a gap, mugged up, blitzes, he does everything. He's a
Speaker 1: great player. Kalais Campbell, I have no idea what the
Speaker 1: big fellow's plans are for the future. But if you
Speaker 1: want to play another year, my friend, that door to
Speaker 1: me is wide open. The way he creates angles of
Speaker 1: attack and exposes them like you. Hear rushers on defense
Speaker 1: talk all the time and it works against the run too.
Speaker 1: About their desire to try to rush half the man.
Speaker 1: I think Zach Seiler talked about it on it HQ
Speaker 1: a few weeks back. He consistently gets himself into those
Speaker 1: spots with how he slants his rushes and his first
Speaker 1: steps off the snap. He was consistently folding the pocket.
Speaker 1: Then he'd have a two way go against the back
Speaker 1: and would find a way to stack the block and
Speaker 1: get back into the gap and make the play. Then
Speaker 1: the way he can ride the wave on the zone
Speaker 1: and then just pull a parking brake and stop the
Speaker 1: momentum and the offensive lineman just kind of goes whoa
Speaker 1: and like keeps going down the wave like tubular dude.
Speaker 1: Just a special special player. Kalay As Campbell is how
Speaker 1: about DeShawn hand not having any of their double teams
Speaker 1: at the point of attack. Game of grit from him?
Speaker 1: I wrote down Dan Campbell's stuff. He consistently took on
Speaker 1: thankless jobs and got them done. He also beat Wyatt
Speaker 1: Teller across his face so bad on one rep that
Speaker 1: the only choice he had was to drag him down
Speaker 1: for a holding call to prevent a massive TfL Tyrel Dodson.
Speaker 1: I thought his sideline the sideline pursuit was awesome in
Speaker 1: this game, and the range and generally he displayed the
Speaker 1: range on that pick and the playmaking to squeeze it.
Speaker 1: He had a spy rep on DTR that I thought
Speaker 1: showed some of the lateral range we talked about forces
Speaker 1: a roadway on a third down backed up in their
Speaker 1: own end. I thought he did a good job of
Speaker 1: getting to him on climbs.
Speaker 2: Early.
Speaker 1: The Browns were kind of pushing him around the first
Speaker 1: couple of drives, but then he really reacted to them
Speaker 1: well after that first quarter where he would go initiate
Speaker 1: the contact himself and get his knock back and dictate
Speaker 1: the terms and get off the block and contribute for
Speaker 1: a tackle. I thought he was really good in the
Speaker 1: top five tape in this game. Thought Emmanuel Ogbad did
Speaker 1: a good job of in a variety of roles in
Speaker 1: this game. He had one peel back in a fire
Speaker 1: zone where you know you rush, you show five, you
Speaker 1: peel back one guy and rush four where he chipped
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy working on Cater Coohu.
Speaker 2: To kind of take him out of the route.
Speaker 1: He played a solid edge against the run, and then
Speaker 1: when you make a splash play like that, you get
Speaker 1: in the those big time. Like what I loved about
Speaker 1: it was how he showed bull rush which led Jack
Speaker 1: Conklin to kind of lunge out over his skis, and
Speaker 1: then Emmanuel just pulled to the push pull technique where
Speaker 1: you grab on, you push him back, and then you
Speaker 1: pull him to kind of slingshot yourself Ricky Bobby style
Speaker 1: around the corner and left him in the dust. Then
Speaker 1: he finishes by punching the ball through the collision of
Speaker 1: the quarterback that his teach tape from Manuel ogball on
Speaker 1: that strip sack caterer Kohu man. I think one of
Speaker 1: the most underrated routine things that happens on this team
Speaker 1: is the way Cater attacks the outside shoulder, both on
Speaker 1: screens and against outside runs. Not only does he set
Speaker 1: the edge on those plays, because a lot of guys
Speaker 1: will just set the edge and that's okay.
Speaker 2: That's a win of a job.
Speaker 1: But if you can do that and get back into
Speaker 1: play as a tackler, it gives you an extra hat
Speaker 1: and the fit in the game in the run game.
Speaker 1: But I also have I think his feel for spatial
Speaker 1: awareness has expanded exponentially to adapt. His zone responsibility based
Speaker 1: upon what he's seeing has come so far. He used
Speaker 1: to kind of just like cover grass. He didn't do
Speaker 1: that anymore. I'm really impressed by Cater's game in this
Speaker 1: season so far. Gilean Ramsey the breakup on the goal
Speaker 1: line rare movement skills, especially at that size and length,
Speaker 1: but I have to say he has given inside access
Speaker 1: on those slants like all year long. Jerry Judy had
Speaker 1: him smoked on the Browns first drive of the third quarter,
Speaker 1: just drop the football. He also beat him on the
Speaker 1: line or beat him off the line well, Pauls on
Speaker 1: the pass breakup too, much like his pick and Buffalo
Speaker 1: where he kind of got lucky on a drop ball
Speaker 1: by Keon Coleman. And I think he was also be
Speaker 1: on the Raiders pick in that game as well.
Speaker 2: Storm Duck.
Speaker 1: I thought he looked smooth and comfortable, good transition out
Speaker 1: of his back Pedal had a nice pass breakup down
Speaker 1: around the goal line where he read the route and
Speaker 1: broke on the ball as it was coming out. So
Speaker 1: some valuable reps here for Storm Duck individual misses. It's
Speaker 1: just the safety all year, it's been this problem. Like
Speaker 1: Javon like man, the hardest I've played in a while.
Speaker 1: Comment really rubbed me the wrong way. Then he misses
Speaker 1: a tackle, has a near pick he doesn't make, another
Speaker 1: near pick he doesn't make, and then misses a tackle
Speaker 1: on Jerome Ford where he just dropped his head and
Speaker 1: got ran over all in the same drive. And then
Speaker 1: do you guys remember that Deshaun DeShawn hand holding call
Speaker 1: that backs up the Browns that first and nineteen. Then
Speaker 1: they hit Jerry Judy for seventeen yards in the next play.
Speaker 1: If you have the film, pull that up. Because he's
Speaker 1: playing single high safety and there's no backside post route
Speaker 1: that's going to threaten him deep and they run a
Speaker 1: dig in front of him with Kter Kohu playing outside
Speaker 1: liberge trying to funnel this route into Javon's help, and
Speaker 1: he just takes off to the post.
Speaker 2: I don't know where he's going or why he's going. There.
Speaker 2: That's what he did.
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer getting trucked by dtr was who was already
Speaker 1: engaged by a tackler. That's kind of what we've seen
Speaker 1: all Yuri falls forward for two yards on third and
Speaker 1: short for a first down. It's just that that position
Speaker 1: has been a problem all year long. Snap counts Tyrell
Speaker 1: Dots and the only player who went the distance. They
Speaker 1: pulled some guys before the last last drive. It was
Speaker 1: Cater Coohoo, Javon Hall and Jordan Brooks and Jordan Poyer
Speaker 1: all played seventy one of the seventy nine snaps. Ramsey
Speaker 1: came out a series earlier, played sixty seven snaps in
Speaker 1: the game. Defensive tackles sealer seventy eight percent, Kalais sixty
Speaker 1: one percent. Man that guy gives us everything, doesn't he to?
Speaker 1: Sean Hann forty six percent and Benito Jones forty four percent,
Speaker 1: and Matt Dickerson got seven snaps late in the game.
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Ogbab paced the edges at seventy eight percent. Chop
Speaker 1: plays two thirds of the snap, Quintin Bell played one
Speaker 1: third of the snaps, and Cameron Good gave you six reps.
Speaker 1: Duke Riley played eight snaps in place of Jordan Brooks
Speaker 1: on those that final drive at cornerback Storm Duck was
Speaker 1: the third guy online seventy six percent. Ethan Bonner got
Speaker 1: twelve snaps, Saran Neil got eight snaps, and then Elijah
Speaker 1: Campbell played eleven snaps, and Patrick McMorris played eight STAPs.
Speaker 1: My top five tapes from the game. Number one kalais Campbell.
Speaker 1: He was everywhere, run pass game, played a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of snaps. What a great game from him. Number two
Speaker 1: was Tyreek Hill and he was the only guy on
Speaker 1: offense that got in the top five tapes. Number three
Speaker 1: was Tyrell Dotson, Number four Jordan Brooks, and number.
Speaker 2: Five cater Coo.
