This is the Draft Time 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:25.640 Podcast Miami Dolphins. Let's go ahead and open the show 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.360 with some sound here from Mike McDaniel, who was asked 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.080 after the game talking about the Dolphins turn around from 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.800 two to six to six and two to get themselves 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.200 back to eight to eight and at five hundred for 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.520 the first time since Week number two of the NFL season, 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.479 and Adam Beasley of Pro Football Network had this tweet 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.120 about how there were ten teams following Week nine that 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.200 had six losses this year, and the Dolphins are six 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.680 and two since that mark, and the other ten teams 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.560 that were in that category are ten and forty five 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.960 over that same stretch of games. So the Dolphins were 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:58.960 the one team from that group that turned things around. 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.480 Let's go ahead and hear from Mike McDaniel on Miami 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.680 getting back to eight and eight and giving themselves a 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.640 chance to get back into the postseason, to get back 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.960 over five hundred with a win over the Jets next Sunday. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.640 Very proud of of the locker room, and and the 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.480 and the coaching staff and and just really everyone because 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.280 this one was important for the obvious reasons, but also, 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:28.720 you know, we were tuned six h staring at the 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:33.560 l A Rams uh and and this game. Winning this 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:38.000 game put us at six and two cents. And you know, 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.320 some of the some of the best things in team 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:48.000 sports occur when you have to galvanize together and there's 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.639 a lot of people telling you, uh, uh, your season's 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.799 over this, that or the other. So you know it, 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.280 I think it speaks to speaks to that. And on 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:03.880 top of all that, you're you're going through that stretch, 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.280 you're you're five and two in your last seven games, 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.240 and then you're and then uh, you know, on game 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.560 day you're faced with, oh, yeah, you're not gonna have 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:19.520 your starting quarterback. I think, you know, defensively, uh, you know, 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:24.040 team football, they rose to the occasion having a couple 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.280 of turnovers and uh not letting them into the end 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:32.560 zone and and uh, guys made some plays just across 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:37.840 the board. So it was a team win that felt 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:42.720 real good for all the reasons above. And and uh, 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.280 the one that was I thought earned through the you 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.920 know not only this last work week, but the accumulation 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.600 of work weeks as they bonded together. 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.440 And if you look at this game by the numbers, 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.680 it will not tell you the full story. Although there 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.920 are some numbers that went in favor of the brow 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.640 then I suppose kept them in the game. But Miami 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.080 wins this one twenty to three. It felt kind of 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.160 over when Jalen Ramsey broke up a pass in the 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.680 end zone on Jerry Judy on a fourth down with 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.080 a ten point lead and late in the third quarter, 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.040 but both the teams get eighteen first downs. The Browns 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.440 were far more efficient on the money down. They were 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.080 seven for seventeen on third downs compared to Miami's two 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.680 for eleven, but the Browns were also zero for four 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.159 on fourth down. The Dolphins zero for one on a 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.840 devon eight chan toss play that did not gain yardage 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.440 on a fourth and one right on the fringe of 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.200 field goal range. Miami had two hundred and eighty yards 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.000 to Cleveland's two seventy six. Two h six of that 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.440 came through the air, seventy four on the ground. The 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.479 Browns did run for one hundred and fourteen and through 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.000 for one sixty two in the game themselves. The Browns 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.440 also had eighteen more plays than are No, nineteen more 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.840 plays than Miami seventy six to fifty seven. Offensively, now, 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.679 the Dolphins had two takeaways and no giveaways big portion 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.520 of the game right there. Miami was sacked four times 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.520 and had just one sack of Dorian Thompson Robinson. Also, 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.119 the Dolphins penalties eleven for nine twenty four in this game, 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.200 Cleveland nine for eighty four. And the Dolphins had possession 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.200 for just over thirty minutes in this game. And it 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.839 started off kind of how the previous non to a 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.200 game started and probably cause a little bit of you know, 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.720 tightening of the old muscles across Dolphins Nation as it were. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.800 As Miami took a seven play, sixteen yard drive that 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.880 ended in a punt after possessing the ball for four 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.600 minutes to open the game, and it just started off 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.800 like a lot of those other drives in the either 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.360 Skylar Thompson or previous Tyler Huntley starts where it starts 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.640 off with a couple of positive runs and for whatever reason, 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.560 the Dolphins on first downs when Huntley's in the game, 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.560 like those play action shots to start the drives, they 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.760 typically get the Dolphins like fifteen to eighteen yards. Now, 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.760 this drive kicked off with a eight yard devon a 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.599 chan run. They converted on a screenplay on the on 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.000 the next play, they get themselves another positive run on 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.280 first down. In the next series of plays, but then 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.560 you get a pre snap penalty and a false start, 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.640 you get a personal foul and a low cut block, 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.640 a bad snap essentially kills an entire play, and then 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.640 you have a holding call on a screen pass on 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.200 third down that's kind of a position field position type 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.400 of call. So just a very frustrating start in a 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.160 game where it felt like points were going to be 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.960 at a premium, and that drive did little to inspire 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.040 confidence that Miami would be the ones that would find 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.560 the points to get themselves in the winner circle. But 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.640 luckily the defense on the other side really took care 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.080 of that. From jump three and out to open the game, 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.880 three play four yard drive and it was Tyrrel dots 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.360 and flying all over the field making all kinds of plays. 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.800 He had fifteen tackles in this game and a pick 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.880 that we're going to talk about here in just one second, 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.120 and the Dolphins create a third and six on this 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.280 opening drive. And this opening drive kind of told me 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.440 how it was going to go from a Dolphins defensive perspective, because, look, 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.719 Dorian Thompson Robinson minimal playing experience. He's the Browns third 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.600 quarterback to play this year. We saw what happens when 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.960 the Dolphins got to their third quarterback, like it is tough. 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.640 It's tough when you don't have your starter, not much 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:54.480 less when you don't have your backup. And so on 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.120 QB number three, there was a third and six play 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.000 and they had like a too high coverage look where 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.560 the I think it would Jerry Judy had out leveraged 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.880 the split field safety that was to that side of 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.880 the field and you could just see like the corner 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.440 route was going to open up. But Dorian Thompson Robinson 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.320 was late to see it. He had to kind of 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.320 see the receiver get out of the break and get 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.360 to that leverage and then he threw it and because 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.280 of that, it was late and thanks to Dotson's tackle 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.280 for loss to open the game, Cater Kohu making a 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.760 nice play like he does on screen game to get 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.320 a short game. On the second down play, you created 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.400 a third long situation from jump and the quarterback missed 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.600 the throw in my opinion, to get the defense off 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.200 the field right away. And I just wrote, you have 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.240 to find a way to capitalize on this if you 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.400 are the Dolphins, because this is a quarterback with very 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.360 minimal experience who clearly is not comfortable yet at this 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.400 level to play at a high level, which is evident 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.120 by his one touchdown to nine picks and a uypa 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.440 under four yards average at this point of his career. 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.040 Miami gets it back and points, and it felt like 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.280 any points at this point of the game kind of 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.440 felt like it was going to be one of those 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.400 huge right because we've Dolphins fans know like what thirteen 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.360 to ten wins look like, going back to the Wance 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.160 dead day and the Sperano days and into the Joe 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.920 Philbin days. This team won a lot of games this 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.400 millennium thirteen to ten or sixteen to ten, like defense 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.400 has kind of been it's calling card over those, you know, 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.440 years before Mike McDaniel brought his high flying offense here. 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.720 And so it's a seven play, just twenty six yard 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.520 drive that takes three and a half minutes off the clock, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.160 but Jason Sanders kisses the crossbar and nudges it over 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.400 the crossbar for a fifty four yard field goal to 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.760 continue his run. He made another field goal later in 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.360 the game, so he is now twenty six consecutive field 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.200 goals made that of course as a franchise record. And 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.640 this drive began, like I talked about the comeback to 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.040 Tyreek more of like a curl route because he's not 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.720 breaking this thing off to the sideline, but he brings 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.480 that route back down the middle of the field, which 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.800 is a curl route, and Huntley was hitting those all 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.480 that long, those curls and glances and slants down the middle, 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.520 and I thought that was a big area of progress 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.400 and his game will talk about that and the takeaways. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.120 But Miami finds their way into scoring range on that 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.559 John News screen that kind of you know, had been 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.280 not figured out, but defenses were privy too early on 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.360 for a fifth teen yard play. Then eight Chan we 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.000 get a holding call that backs is up to third 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.000 and eighteen and they throw a check down to eight 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.040 Chan that gets you know, ten more yards to put 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.040 him back into field goal range. And every yard of 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.720 that play was needed because the the field goal kicked 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.840 off the crossbar and went in. So Dolphins leaded three 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.200 to nothing after about halfway through the first quarter. But 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.120 then Cleveland mount to drive their own The kind of 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:21.960 had you thinking like maybe this team can you know, 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.319 post some offensive numbers in this game, as fourteen plays, 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.360 sixty six yard drive, seven minutes, twenty seconds off the 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.720 clock results in a twenty five yard field goal. And 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.000 I just wrote down that Jordan Brooks was already all 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.000 over the field. He stiffed out a tight end leak 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.040 and ran it down for a two yard game after 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.520 he caught that football stuff's a run for a loss. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.959 And he heats up Dorian Thompson Robinson for a pressure, 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.160 but they hit a holding call on Storm Duck in 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.440 the defensive backfield. Then dtr converts a third and short 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.720 on a quarterback sweep, and then he throws a couple 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.000 of balls that Javon Holland gets hands on but can't 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.560 make the plays. And it was like three plays in 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.000 this drive because Jordan Brooks had one earlier where he 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.600 cut off the hook zone and the ball just got 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.920 into that window. And I was like, that's three balls 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.120 that really were a fraction of a second wave from 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:04.839 going back the other way. Just kind of felt like 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.400 that many bang bang plays, you're not gonna you know, 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.199 it's gonna be tough making a living that way. Through 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.480 the course of a sixty minute game, we miss a 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.000 tackle one of eighteen yards of room Ford runners. Javon 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:15.640 Holland comes down and he kind of puts a stiff 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.360 arm on him and gets around that tackle. Then Benito 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.840 Joes stuffs up a run play for no game, getting 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.800 off a double team. Then a Ramsey breaks up a 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.760 pass and a slant to create a third down, and 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.520 then they run the football and we snuff it out 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.880 right away. So the Dolphins get off the field down 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:31.520 in a little red zone. Great to see that in 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.720 a game like this. Imy takes the football back and 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.560 punts it back after four plays twenty six yards. Once again, 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.439 one of those Glands rounts to Tyreek Hill to kick 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.720 off the drive. The ball was out before the break, 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.080 the footwork, the timing was on point, big con big 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.480 compleation to kick off the drive. We stay on schedule 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.880 for a first down run, but b gap penetration on 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.520 the second down play gets us behind the chains. Then 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.800 they kind of bust a protection where they broke through 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.200 the left guard position and snoop pass to flee and 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.040 throw it away. We kick it into the end zone 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.120 a net just twenty four yards. So it's like this 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.199 game of fine margins where you have to find your 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.080 way to get advantages in those margins. It's not going 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.520 your way so far early, but luckily it's still three 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.760 to three. The Browns get the ball back and do 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.200 a quick three and out twenty four second drive and 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.720 a very weird play from Jerry Judy, who had eighteen 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.560 targets in twelve catches in this game, but it didn't 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.480 feel like he had a good game because he had 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.840 a big drop at one point and this play would 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.760 have been an eight yard game to kick off the drive, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:24.840 but he just loses track of where he is in 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.120 the field and doesn't put his feet in bounds and 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.440 costs his team eight yards in a catch on the play. 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.840 They drop a pass on second down that was originally 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.120 ruled a backwards pass and Dolphins' fumble recovery but got overturned. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.400 And that's been how many times has that happen to 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.360 the Dolphins this year? What happened again in this game? 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.640 Third and ten Tyrrel Dawson has a great spy rep 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.440 on dtr forces him into a throwaway where he mirrors 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.440 him at at the line of scrimmage, rolls out to 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:48.720 the right and made a couple of plays in the 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.959 game at this point and gets the Browns offense off 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.320 the field. Miami goes right back to the same well 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.760 on the previous drive as they do to open this drive. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.840 It's a dig route full speed, almost retreats and runs 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.120 that tries to outrun the bat by going backwards, but 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.840 thinks better of it and goes down and picks up 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.959 thirteen yards on that play. It's an effective play to 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:08.920 open drives. They get, you know, chunk plays to kick 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.880 off things. But then another negative play they blow up 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.000 the end a round to Maleak Washington for a loss 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.480 of eleven and that rightly kills the drive. Elijah Campbell 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.560 then has a punt very well covered, but the return 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.640 man calls fair catch and then blocks and I'm like, hey, 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:24.840 you can't do that, and I couldn't see the flag 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.960 on the broadcast right away. But luckily they eventually got 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:29.680 to that and showed you that the Dolphins were going 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.120 to have a drive for the Browns beginning on the 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.280 five yard line, and I wrote down, you need to 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:35.640 find a way to make this a three and out 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.000 drive or turnover. And they didn't get the three and out, 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:42.040 but they would get a Tyreil Dotson interception right at midfield. 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.720 The Browns ran it for eight yards on the opening 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.680 two plays of that drive. Backed up, they get a 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.400 full back dive for a first down, and I was 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:49.880 I was mad because I'm like, man, we had to 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:51.920 get this is a chance where if you get a 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.280 three and out on the opposing team inside their own 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.560 ten yard line, it almost always leads to points. Like 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.480 the percentages are very high of that. I felt like 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.000 that was a spot to kind of have the defense 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.760 get a big win backed up. But luckily they would 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.600 blow up a play from DeShawn Hand who draws a 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.440 holding call and it kind of resets that previous situation. 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.840 But then the Browns get a first down after a 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.040 seventeen yard shot to Jerry Judy. Then deontaey Foreman moves 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.280 the sticks, and then Tyrrel Dotson. This is when my 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.440 ferret plays the entire game, because the Dolphins kind of 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.360 baited dtr into this throw and then Dotson just executed 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.240 and made the play. Like you saw the two high safeties. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.800 They both played half field coverage and they widened and 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.720 almost like invited this throw to the middle of the field, 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.679 and dtr obliged him by ripping this slant route and 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.640 Dotson just gets a lot of depth on that hook drop, 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.559 and Juice O. J mcduffee was kind of like, was 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.120 that Tampa too him? Like, I don't think it was, 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:40.719 because he wasn't like running the pipe. He was just 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.520 kind of dropping into the hook zone. Made a great 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.920 play on the football. But they takes his helmet off 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.240 and costs US fifteen yards and back show up to 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.560 the thirty five yard line, and then the offense goes 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.160 three plays negative nine yards and two and a half minutes. 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.000 We get hit with a hold to open the drive. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.160 It's now six for sixty and just looking not pretty right, 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.679 five of those coming on the offense. Then Isaiah Win 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.920 gets beat across his face and Huntly gets sacked and 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.280 it's third and twenty two. We false start back to 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.680 the eighteen yard line. Like it went. You lost thirty 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.680 two yards on the penalties and the loss of yardage 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.240 on those ensuing plays and they pump the ball back 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.480 in the Brown start at the forty two yard line. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.360 So again in the game where it felt like you 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.880 had to win in the margins. It wasn't going that 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.640 way early, but then the entire game turned on this 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.200 next drive. Let's go ahead and take our first break 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.720 rate there, come back on the other side and get 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.440 to that drive. The second half, we'll take another break 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.600 and get to the five takeaways all that. Next Draft 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.600 Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:42.840 Auto Nation, Segment two on a Sunday night, December twenty ninth, 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:44.760 could be Monday morning the time you hear this podcast 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.800 probably will be for most of you, guys, but you 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.800 are looking at a situation right here. At this point 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.240 of the game, Dolphins are tied up three apiece, it 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.760 is under two minutes to play, and the Browns have 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.840 it in plus territory. After a couple of runs, they 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.480 incomplete a throw on the strangest OUTRW I've ever seen, 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.440 where Derwan Thompson Robinson throws it at the line of 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.720 scrimmage to the hash like a far hash throw, but 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.200 it gains no yards in a speedout where the ball 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.080 was so far up the field, the receiver had to 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.160 come back to the line of scrimmage to make the catch. 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.080 They can put a nine yard pass on third and 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.560 ten and it creates a fourth and one from the 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.280 plus thirty eight yard line late in the first half, 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.120 and they have the win with their backs. It kind 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:21.400 of feels like this could be a spot where they 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.080 take a league get the ball at the halftime, and 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.400 then if in the second half, if they go march 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.880 and score on that drive, Like could be you know, 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.680 getting early, dark early for the Dolphins here in this 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.040 week's seventeen game. But none of that happened because the 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.520 Dolphins bow up and Kalaias Campbell makes not the first 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.720 of but one of many plays he made in this game. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.840 Quintin Bell there on the stop as well as Zach 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.280 Seeler to stack up the Cleveland run and get the 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.800 Dolphins the football back and they would pay it off 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:47.680 on the other side by a five play forty one 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.520 yard field goal drive. We could a defensive pass interference 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.560 on John Smith who got clobbered by Martin Emerson who 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.200 winds up making like an NFL street pick. Can remember 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:57.800 that game, how you could like jump in the air 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.200 and like spin and do backflips and catch the football 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:01.800 like I don't know how the hell he caught that ball, 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.680 but he did, and runs all the way back to 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:05.240 like the twenty three yard line or something like that. 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.880 But luckily he was all over the back of John 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.320 hus Smith. And rather than having first down in Dolphins 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.960 territory for the Browns having the football, the Dolphins maintain 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.880 possession and have it in Cleveland territory. Then a League 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.800 Washington makes this really sick catching a ball thrown behind him, 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:21.800 juggling at getting hit and controls it going to the 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.880 ground at the plus thirty seven yard line. But Tron 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.320 Armstead gets nicked up and has to leave the game 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.680 and would not return. Patrick Paul filled in for him 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.000 at left tackle. Down the stretch, Maleak makes another catch 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.680 on a hookup and he immediately gets upfield and find 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.160 space ball to plus thirty yard line. We go back 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.040 to that well one more time for seven more yards, 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.480 and then Jason Sanders connects on a forty yard field 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.960 goal to give the Dolphins a six to three half 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:46.720 time lead, and then the Browns have the football coming 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.560 out of the break, And this is where that was 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.360 kind of where the game turned to me, this is 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.680 where the game was solidified and how it was going 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.720 to go. The Browns go three and out, They drop 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:56.560 a third down conversion and leads to a three and 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.760 out with Jerry Judy still struggling on the night, and 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.520 the Dolphins take it back and go six plays seventy 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.280 two yards and three minutes in cap but off of 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:07.000 a thirteen yard Tyler Huntley touchdown run. Both Denzel Ward 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.240 and Jordan Hicks were down to start the half, and 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.080 the Dolphins came out and went right to Tygreek hill. 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.520 Because we talked about in the preview podcast with Daniel 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.479 Oyufuzi that he said the Denzel Ward had been playing 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.560 so locked down all year long with the other two 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.560 cornerbacks had their struggles. And Miami throws that curl to 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.720 Tyreek for fifteen yards and then we or rather they 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.159 he hits like twelve or thirteen yards. Then they have 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.960 a face mask on Tyreek attacks on fifteen more yards. 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.240 Then we rip an RPO to Maleak for twelve yards 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.640 where Snoop is starting to fill the rhythm. And also 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.280 on this drive they had Jeff Wilson where heem Moster, 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.760 Jalen wright All took snaps on this drive after a 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.960 heavy dose of Devon ah Chan early, so it was 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:44.640 kind of cool to see the entire running back room 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.320
