WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Browns Week 17 Preview 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.920 What is up Dolphins and welcome to the Drift Time Podcast. 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.640 I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:18.000 our penultimate game of the season takes us to the 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.479 Mistake by the Lake Lake Erie, Cleveland, Brown's four. 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:22.960 H five Clickoff. 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.479 It's a chance to give back to five hundred and 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.760 hopefully a chance to keep our playoff hopes alive. From 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.920 the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.720 This is the Drive Time Podcast. 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:39.440 Maybe and by the time the Dolphins do click off, 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.479 it could be curtains on the season. And before we 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:44.360 get into that real quick, just want to mention, so 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.600 two and zero so far through the week. As this 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.360 podcast comes out ahead of Thursday Night football, We're gonna 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.440 take the Seahawks over the Bears tonight. Isn't it funny 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.760 how clear of a line of demarcation there is in 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:01.720 the AFC pretty much every single year, Kansas City, Baltimore 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.919 and Buffalo. I knew going into that the Christmas Games, 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:06.800 I knew the Steelers were pretenders. 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.199 I was weary of the Texans. 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.039 Maybe thought that they could after the bye week get 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.520 things together, which they did defensively but offensively. Still not 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.039 really clicking there in Houston. It's the same damn three teams. Man. 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.319 We fight about this all offseason. We fight about the 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.640 drop off of the Bills. We fight about the Baltimore 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.400 Ravens losing so many coaches on their staff and their 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.960 defense falls apart, and oh, the Chiefs don't have the 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.920 same explosive offense, so they're fifteen to one. The Ravens 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.000 are gonna win the North. The Bills have are already 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.880 basically clinched into the two seed. It's those teams and 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.319 everybody else, man, So we got to find a way 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.080 to break that next year. But I mean that tells 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.480 you how the AFC playoffs are gonna go. Hopefully Buffalo 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.399 has to go through both teams, and I think they 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.360 probably will if Baltimore gets the three seed, and then 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.000 they they both win their wild card games, and then 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:53.360 Baltimore goes into Buffalo. 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:54.680 That's gonna be a fun game. 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.320 And then you're gonna have to rely on the Chiefs 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:57.919 once again to beat the Buffalo Bills. 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:58.720 I don't really. 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.000 Hate the Chiefs winning this many chancesampionships because it means 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.280 that the other teams I don't like don't win championships, 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.800 you know what I mean, Like, Okay, keep it was 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.920 like with the Patriots a certain point, just keep letting 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.400 Brady win them all because that way the teams I 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.640 don't like otherwise are not getting their championships. 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:14.360 I don't know, man, We'll see. 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.560 I mean, it's gonna be a fun couple of weeks 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.280 here in the NFL, but it's all kind of leading 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.240 up to just basically Bills and Chiefs or Chiefs and 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.720 Ravens or whatever it might be, right, and then we'll see, 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.440 like Eagles and Lions. Can either of those teams compete 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.600 in the Super Bowl with the Chiefs or the Bills 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.280 or the Ravens. I don't think so, but we shall see. 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:32.800 The Lions could have if they were healthy, but they 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.320 are not. Anyway, That's the whole point. We have a 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.880 must win game here coming up on Sunday, and we 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:39.760 have to get some help. I think we will get 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.760 that help, and I put it on Blue Sky. I 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.240 think that the Dolphins and Jets game is going to 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.440 have a very likelihood of being flexed into Saturday based 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.760 upon how I feel the results will go Sunday, and 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.640 they usually break that out Sunday night after the games 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.960 are after the Sunday Night Football game raps and with 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.359 Commanders and Falcons on Sunday Night Football, I imagine, and that's 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.600 going to be a pretty early declaration because the way 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.720 I see it, I don't think the Lions and Vikings 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:08.200 game is going to be for the division in the 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:09.600 one seed because I think the Vikings are going to 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:10.720 lose to the Packers this week. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.239 I think the Lions are going to be the Niners. 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.120 We'll talk about that in the picks, and the way 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:15.880 the rest of the stuff goes, I basically think the 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.600 only games are going to matter for playoff implications are 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.000 going to be those wild card spots across the AFC. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.480 So it's going to be the Chargers, the Colts, the Dolphins, 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.520 the Bengals and Broncos competing for two spots in my opinion. Again, 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.239 we'll get to that on the picks tomorrow, but I 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.560 think Miami has a real shot of being flexed to 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.720 Saturday against the Jets in the finale. But first you 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.960 have to win this one week seventeen at the Cleveland 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.280 Browns Huntington Bay Bank Field. I had no idea what 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:41.920 was called that back when I was in like high 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.880 school and junior high and I would do this season 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.840 predictions and write the Dolphins schedule on my peachy folders, 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:47.440 whatever the hell I. 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:48.040 Was doing back then. 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.280 I always knew the name of every stadium because most 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.640 of them had like team associated names. We were getting 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.680 into the corporate world of stadium naming back then. But 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.440 Huntington Bank Field since win, I had to look that up. 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.640 Four h five kickoff on CBS. It's gonna be about 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:08.080 fifty five degrees at kickoff, drops to the forties after sunset, 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.880 So not that bad from a cold perspective, but there 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.040 is a good chance for rain, about a fifty percent 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.480 chance some ten to fifteen mile prior win projections. It 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.719 feels like we've avoided rain for a couple of years. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.880 Now you might break that run this week. Let's get 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.680 to know the Browns here real quick, and O man, 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.280 you think the Dolphins have had it bad? This team 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.400 in To say the last few years for the Browns 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.480 has been tumultuous would be the understatement of the year. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.440 And think about that statement. Think about that statement on 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.719 its own. When you consider the three hundred and sixty 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.039 five days ago. This was a team that was in 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:40.960 the midst of a winning streak that would produce an 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.000 eleven and six campaign and basically put all the other 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.919 wild card contenders beneath them. And had the Browns not 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.200 done that, Miami would have been on the road in 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.040 Houston in the wildcard round last year. It's a winnable game, 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.120 a lot more winnable than the freaking twenty five to 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.840 blow zero degrees. The Chiefs game was you know what 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.159 I'm saying, and they go back to the post's they 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.080 get wiped by the Houston Texans. 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.440 Now, quite frankly, you know, how's the saying go? You 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:06.159 reput you so? 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.360 And I say, they got exactly what they deserve by 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.960 acquiring that quarterback and giving him the most guaranteed contract, 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.200 the fully guaranteed contract anybody's ever gotten. But I guess 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.080 in this country, with enough money, you can make sexual 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.479 improprieties go away. In fact, they're not even career enders, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.640 true for politicians and true for quarterbacks. It's been fitting 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.160 that when he went down last year, Flacco came in 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:30.080 and did what he did. 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.080 Then this year they. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.120 Actually get some fun football out of Jamis Winston. Browns 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.320 fans can enjoy going to games again even if it 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:37.279 wasn't winning football. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:38.920 So we'll see where they go next year. 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.679 But to recap the recent run, I think it began 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.120 back in the Baker Mayfield draft in twenty eighteen to 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.359 lect him first overall. He takes over and takes the 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.520 city by storm. He's in every damn commercial you turn 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.560 the TV on. They go seven to eight and one 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.279 with a pretty bad football team that year and become 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.920 the it team for twenty nineteen. Go out and acquire 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.320 Odell Beckham Junior, but fall short of expectations at six 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.320 and ten, but then they hit the expectations eleven and five. 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.920 They win a playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers for 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:08.880 the first time in like twenty years, and it makes us, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.040 besides the Lions recently, the longest playoff wins rout team 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.599 in the NFL. Damn near beat the Chiefs in the 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.040 Divisional round that year, but then Baker plays a full 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.560 season with a shoulder injury. They go eight to nine 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.720 and move off of him, looking for greener pastures. They 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.960 go seven to ten in the Jacoby Brissett slash Deshaun 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.520 Watson era or first year, I should say then last 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.800 year Deshaun gets the opening day start and produces one 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.040 of the lowest QB epas we've ever seen in the NFL, 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.960 gets himself hurt. Flacko arrives mid season and leads them 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.920 to a four game winning streak and into the postseason. 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.480 To Shawn returns this year and it's right on par 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.880 with twenty twenty three. Maybe there is a god. He 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.320 gets hurt. Jamis Winstig nites them for a bit, but 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.760 shows you all the signs of a quarterback who once 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.400 had a thirty thirty five thousand season my favorite stat 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.480 of all time. Thirty touchdowns, thirty picks, five thousand passing yards, 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.680 highs and lows. And now they're on their third quarterback 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.599 Dorian Thompson Robinson and have floated the idea of Bailey 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:06.360 Zappi would be next should dtr not be available. Man 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.080 rough couple of weeks here for the Cleveland Browns. It's 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.640 a super talented defense with likely the two time Defensive 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.680 Player of the Year award winner and Miles Garrett. I 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.600 think he wins it again this year. A true number 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.560 one cornerback, good linebacker play if he's going to be available. 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.880 Jeremiah Wusu Kormoa and an offensive line that has big 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.520 name but injury issues, a star running back that came 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.960 back from agrusive injury only to get injured again, and 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.440 a wide receiver cord that's pretty damn good, but led 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.480 by a player they acquired in season in Jerry Judy. 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.800 Truly one of the more fascinating teams in recent memory. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.000 Let's go ahead and stick with the president and get 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.560 to know the Cleveland Browns offense and if it isn't 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.640 our third consecutive Shannahan Tree offense, which is also true 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.720 for the fourth time in the last five games going 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.880 back to the Packer game. Now that said it is 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.040 an offshoot, but it wasn't what they were always doing. 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.960 The Browns have actually pivoted back to it this year 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.440 after going away from it to accommodate. 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:58.680 I really want to say what I want to say 0:07:58.680 --> 0:07:59.640 about the quarterback, but we'll. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.480 Keep it there so comedy Watson, right, he gets his way, 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.880 and then they pivoted right back to it when he 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.840 got hurt. It's almost exclusively under Watson, a shotgun offense 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.120 compared to under center play action outside zone game that 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.560 was more spread it out, get your vertical shots in 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.560 through Max protection and play to Deshaun's strengths, which is well, 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.680 doesn't really have anyone anymore. But it used to be 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.360 big play hunting and scrambling around and creating off script. 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.440 But since he went down, they have pivoted back somewhat 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.760 more to the under center play action outside zone game. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.880 But the overarching issue is they went from this awesome 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:39.680 pre game or pre Deshaun Watson run game to even 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.640 down the stretch last year with Joe Flacco having it 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.320 back to Watson's offense, where the run game went away again, 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.240 and now they're back to the original Stefanski attack. The 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.440 run game has not returned with him and that offense 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.760 coming back. It is now the twenty seventh ranked rushing attack, 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.000 and we know this is an attack that uses They 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.559 utilize a lot of multiple tight ends, multiple back sets, 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.679 but that's where the pivot came into. Eleven personnel was 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.800 ran seventy two percent this year and twelve personnel was 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.880 seventeen percent. They do dabble in some four wide one 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.320 running back, no tight end, which is weird because that's 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.960 their best player on offense to me is David Nijoku. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.559 It's only three percent, but they do run that sometimes, 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.480 but there's no thirteen personnel, there's no two backs that 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.199 It's been a tough year, as it would for anyone 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.160 playing that many quarterbacks. For the Browns, they're thirtieth in 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.880 yards per play, thirty first in points last and EPA 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.040 per play success rate and third down conversions over expected. 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.880 So for Miami, you have to look at this matchup 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.880 as a chance to suffocate them, possibly shut them out. 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.280 That's how bad they've been offensively. Now, how do you 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.960 attack it? To be perfectly frank with you, guys, I 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.560 don't really have a passage here. Greg Olsen, the great 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.480 play by play man who should be on Fox is 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:46.199 number one booth. 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:47.800 But I digress had a. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.360 Quote on the game he broadcasted earlier this season that 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.480 I found on social saying, quote, they have tailored an 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.200 offense to their head coach is unfamiliar with around a 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.959 quarterback who can't do anything to make it go. There 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.640 has to be a breaking point coming end quote. And 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.880 that was after an October sixth game to the Eagles 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.600 with the Browns could not move the football at all. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.079 And of course he has since been removed due to injury. 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.000 And I think we saw the glimpses of hope and 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.640 return to some of those vertical passing concepts that paired 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.840 with the horizontal stretch, an outside zone game with Jerome 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.280 Ford and when they had Nick Chubb going where Winston 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.760 was able to get that going to a certain degree. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.760 So one in seven with Watson, Winston comes in and 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.280 they beat Baltimore. They get blown out by the Chargers 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.000 and Saints. They get that super fun TNF snow win 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.640 against the Steelers that I thought was gonna be a 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.560 big game for the Dolphins because look at Steelers now. 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.559 I thought they could just lose all those games down 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.720 the stretch. And they beat the Bengals barely or not barely. 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:39.480 They beat him pretty soundly. But it was the one 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.800 game the Steelers won to keep themselves ahead of us 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.360 in the playoff race. They get that heartbreaking for Dolphins 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.400 fans lost to the Broncos where Jamis had four touchdowns 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.400 and three picks, two of those back six for touchdowns. 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.840 Then things flat lined against the Steelers last week and 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.360 they make the switch to dtr who has thrown no 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.320 touchdowns and five career picks or five picks this season. 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.000 I really don't know what else to tell you, guys, 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.680 I have to give three things against this offense, Like 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.600 that's how the show works. I don't really have any 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.280 I think if you show up and hold them to 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:12.679 single digits, like they benched Winston because of his iont rate. Right, well, 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.120 he has a four point one percent interception rate and 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.200 that's really bad. Like Kirk Cousins leads the NFL and picks, 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.959 but his iont rate is three point five. Anthony Richardson 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.160 has the highest ion t rate in the NFL at 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.120 four point five. But Dorian Thompson Robinson who does not 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.120 qualify because it pass attempts, how about a seven point 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.679 one interception rate? Bucko, This is not an NFL quarterback 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.040 Lea's not right now. And if they don't, if they 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:38.559 don't go with him, it sounds like it'll be a 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.360 Bailey Zappi, which is he an NFL quarterback? No, So, 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.120 after a brutal year of bad scheduling luck, it looks 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.360 like we, like, seriously, we get Kyler at maybe his 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.160 peak of his career. The Rams got everyone back for 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.000 that game against US. The Packers were well out of 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.120 their funk by that point, the Texans coming off there 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.240 by even though they still look like they kind of stink. Hell, 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.600 even the Jets have played better football since their bye week, 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.560 and we get them twice post by week. I'm just 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.640 asking for one damn layup all year. Since this has 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.560 been a year of no cup game games for the Dolphins, 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.280 especially when all the cupcakes you did have where during 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.080 the stretch of games or two was down. This seems 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.600 like your first layup spot of the season. Big three 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.280 versus the Browns offense Number one, Keep changing the picture. 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.000 These are going to be a little bit shorter than 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.080 what we normally do because I really don't think it 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.079 has to be that complex this week. This is a 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.559 group that has struggled, a group that has is playing 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.760 an inexperienced quarterback that has really just based on what 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.680 we do. I think I trust the guy calling defense 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.040 to really make their young quarterbacks head swim. There was 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.319 a great snapshot ahead of the Cater pick last week 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.200 where the Dolphins show a Cover one and run it. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.400 Then later in the game on the Cater pick, they 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.400 show the exact same look but rotate into zone coverage, 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.840 which gets Cater with eyes to the quarterback on that 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.720 glance route. One beat of hesitation allows our our pick 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.240 stunt to arrive with Kalaias Campbell putting this shot across 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.560 the bow of Brock Purdy and then Cater picks it 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.280 off game over, so he was able to confuse Rock Purdy. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.679 And that's a stuff against Thompson Robinson that should be 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:04.800 a walk in the park. Or if we see Jamis 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.760 or even if we see Bailey Zappy, I don't care. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.000 It's the same across the board. The Browns turn the 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.120 ball over a lot, and I think that we can 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.200 do that in this game, especially if it rains. 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.000 One of the keys for the offense is going to. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.920 Be to protect the football because I do believe that's 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.200 the only way that Miami leaves Cleveland without a victory 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.319 if they lose the turnover battle. And by that token, 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.359 if you can force a turnover pron offense into turnovers, 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.280 then I think you can get up early and put 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.640 this one away pretty quickly. Dtr seven point four interception 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.120 rate is just way too much. You got to catch 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.080 those interception opportunities. I think there's a chance for Jalen 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.480 Ramsey to get his hands on some footballs and go 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.280 back the other way. That takes us to our second key, 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.400 rate here. Number two, you gotta have answers for Ray 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.600 Joe Day and Elijah Moore. With David Dajokus status in question, 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.400 I don't think he's gonna play in the game on Sunday. 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.240 Nick Chubbs down, it is Jerry Judy, it is Elijah Moore, 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.920 and then a massive drop off in target share. Judy 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.000 has one hundred and fourteen targets Najoku set ninety seven 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.839 more ninety two, and then Amari Cooper, who's been with 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.960 the Buffalo Bills for the last nine weeks, has the 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.640 fourth most targets on the Cleveland Browns. But Judy's had 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.080 a revival here in Cleveland, seventy two grabs for one 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.760 thousand and seventy two yards, four touchdowns. He's back to 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.120 the crisp route running. We saw the Alabama and it 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.240 seems like maybe he's got his head on straight this time. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.600 And I think you have to make him your focal point, 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.640 whether whether you go Ramsey shadow or give consistent attention. 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.760 You know, some see one special, some cover one special. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.880 Part of what they ran against the Niners where you 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.880 basically run cover one and instead of having your safety 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.920 play a buzzing role, he goes and double somebody, which 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.880 I think is a quite frankly, my preferred option a 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.640 special on Judy with Storm and that safety, because I 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:40.960 assume Kendall Fuller will not go. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:42.800 It sounds like he actually won't go in the game. 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.400 Let Jaylen Ramsey play a lot of man on Elijah 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.480 Moore and see if they can beat you with Cedric Tillman, 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:53.600 Jordan Aikens, Michael Woods. You know, just a random note. 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.760 I walked past Jayalen in the lunch room today. Every 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.000 time I see that guy, I'm like, that's a corner. 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.120 That dude looks like a linebacker. Back To the point, 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.920 I think your scheme versatility on the back end against 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.840 an inexperienced quarterback and a group of eligibles that could 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.320 be down its top two guys and was somewhat thin 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.640 to begin with after the Amari Cooper trade. I mean, 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.440 Judy is a game breaker outside more plays a lot 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.640 more on the slot inside. That's a matchup I think 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.760 Cateror has can handle as well. It's but that big 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.800 nickel we've shown as well. I think from a scheme 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.840 and personnel standpoint, we stand to have some pretty good 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.080 matchups here against this Browns offense, Judy can beat you deep, 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.480 and that's the best way for Miami to lose this game, 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.000 in my opinion, turning it over on offense and letting 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.640 Judy get behind the defense. But luckily we've done a 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.520 pretty good job of limiting those this year. And the 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.960 quarterback has not seen throwing the ball down the field 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:41.320 at all. 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:42.800 I think we could have that well covered. 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.800 He has thrown five balls twenty plus yards this year, 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.760 no completions, two picks. Opposing teams have blitzed him on 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.400 thirty two percent of his dropbacks, and that has produced 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.560 two picks, no touchdowns, and a two yard per attempt average. 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.360 When not blitzed, it's four point six no touchdowns, three picks. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.760 This is not an NFL offense. Guys, All right, let's 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.480 go ahead and take our first break or right there, 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.000 come back on the other side, do the third thing 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.640 against the Cleveland offense. We'll do the defensive Browns, which 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.680 is actually a good unit against the Dolphins offense. 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.360 What's at stake? Range of outcomes? 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.960 Pick the game keys, all of that more Draft Time podcast, 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.760 your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by AutoNation. 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:20.960 The top two. 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.160 Keys against the Browns offense is to constantly change the 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.400 picture for a quarterback who struggles to see it. And 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.520 number two always have answers for Jerry Judy and Elijah Moore. 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.680 And number three is to match their strength at guard 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:37.080 with our strength at defensive tackle. Strength on strength here, 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.240 I'd be stunned if the Browns approach isn't to run, 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.640 run some more, especially if it's raining and look thirty 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.680 second in run success rate. That's something you probably invite. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.400 But Jerome Ford is like Jerry Judy in the sense 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.080 that he has some gidea up to his game. My 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.840 number one goal is to prevent the explosives from those 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.520 two guys. Jerome Ford has six explosive runs this season. 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.000 He has a sixty six yard touchdown run. We can't 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.160 allow those. He averages five and a half yards per carry. 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.080 Best kind of his game, it's the three runs that 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.720 don't get much. Then he springs the fourth run, just 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.400 not quite as frequently as Barry Sanders did. Right, and 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.600 on your wins, you create long down distances. That's when 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.040 you get into your bag of coverages. You institute your 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.280 rush games for a quarterback that struggles to see it 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.240 and a line that has a lot of changes that 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.040 can cause some communication issues. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.399 Get your takeaways, get your field position. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.000 Like the only time I remember us having a short 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.159 field is the Patriots game, right that they got the 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.800 stripsack on Drake May and then we had the touchdown 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.520 like two plays later. I feel like we haven't had 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.320 short fields at all the whole year. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:38.040 Now. 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.719 If there's a strength of your team for the Browns, 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.159
