I am your host, Travis Wingfield. 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:56.880 And on today's show, we are back in the film 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.520 room for the eleventh time this season. Will come through 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.960 every app and tell you what stood out on offense 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.759 on defense, plus will update the numbers and leaderboards, visit 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.920 the snap counts from the game. And here from head 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:11.840 coach Mike McDaniel at his Monday media availability from the 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.160 Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:23.200 is the Drivetime. You guys know the drill. Tuesdays are 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.400 always very busy. Editions of the Drivetime podcast. So with that, 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.160 let's go ahead and jump right in with the Offensive 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.919 All twenty two review. And it was first half heavy 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.080 for sure. And I know we went in depth on 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.440 this on Sunday, but from the very first play of 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.400 the game, we see it and I just want to 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.520 break it down further about the way to AH does 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:48.400 these subtle things that I think stand out in a 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.560 in a way that isn't easily recognizable. So it's a 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.240 play action to the offenses right and they'll throw the 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.560 glance a slant route basically back to the right, and 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.040 that's not all that common. But it's all about responsibilities 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.680 to has on the play and the collection of talents 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.400 that will see throughout this game and his tape and 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.800 this particular play in particular the way the feet and 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:15.560 the release work in rapid succession with the processing between 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.440 the ears. We heard Coach Monday say that to A 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.160 or Sunday, I should say do some things and O 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.680 t A s that he had never seen executed within 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.920 this within this system, and his twelve and thirteen years 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.680 of operating solely within the confines of this type of 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.520 system in which he spent most of his career within right, 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.160 and if I had to put my finger on what 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.760 that might be, I think it's what you saw. On 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.320 the first play of the game. He has to drive 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.400 three steps wide out of his you know, out of 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.800 fronder center and extend the football on what is outside 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.880 zone action. Then he angles back to the middle of 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.160 the pocket, extending that drop really to five steps. He 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.960 then turns his head before he's even hit the plant foot, 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.480 and as he hits that plant foot, you see the 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.360 hands separate and the balls comeing out before Jalen Waddle 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.120 is out of his break. And again, this is a 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.240 glance route where the lion of scrimmage is the thirty 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.800 four yard line, and Waddle breaks off his route at 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.440 the forty one yard line. So as fast as Jalen Waddle, 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.639 one of the five or six fastest players in the league, 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.360 giver take as fast as he can run seven yards 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.720 to a has executed a play fake, taken a five 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.760 step drop, pivoted back to the defense without having any 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.960 post snap information because his back is to the defense, 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.000 set his feet and delivered the pass, which is right 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.040 on the money. By the way, when I watched each 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.639 and every one of his college snaps on slow mo 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.320 full speed running back see at six or seven times. 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.160 I always marveled at the operation of his footwork, how 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.960 his feet took him to the solution to the problem 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.800 the defense wants to create on every single play, something 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.400 as innocuous as a speed out, a five yard out 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.400 route boom one two ball out. Let's go make it 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.880 quick where he takes the drop straight, so it's not 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.600 the tip of defense about going to the left, going 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.560 to the right, state down the middle of the pipe. 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.640 Then pivot that plant foot in the same action that 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.160 you take your drive foot and point it towards your target, 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.240 so everything is aligned towards your target. Then stride and throw, 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.320 and it's high and away off the outside shoulder, away 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.760 from that inside leverage defender who can't make a play 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.840 because the ball is located so well high in a way, 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.840 just like to throw high and away to waddle against 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.400 Cleveland with Eric Stokes driving underneath. This is something I 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.160 don't think we'll ever be appreciated by your casual show 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.240 up on Sunday Football Fan, which is a great way 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.640 to watch the game right. Nothing against that approach at all, 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.839 But that's why I do the podcast to try to 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.480 explain what I see and give you the details if 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.000 you are interested in them, and of course if you're here, 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.640 I think you're interested in those things. But boy, I 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.479 thought this is gonna be a quick tape watch and 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.599 here I am almost five hundred words on the opening place. 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.719 That's what I do. So what we do, baby, But 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.720 we're going to use that as a temple to come 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.920 back to because he accessed these skills time and time 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.479 again throughout the course of this game. Like on the 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:02.000 very next play, Tyreek is gonna run a little check slash, 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.000 you know, check with me hook up where he releases 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.240 off the line of scrimmage and gets his eyes back 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.039 to the quarterback immediately. It's a free released from a 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.479 condensed split, so he's in close to the formation with 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.599 the outside corner outside leverage but to the sidelines, eyes 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.600 back to the quarterback and playing eight yards off coverage 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.160 to that same side of the formation. Derham Smith is 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.719 attached to the line of scrimmage. So Smith runs a 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.280 flat route and that pulls this hook middle linebacker out 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.839 of the equation and you see Tyreek kind of filling 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.599 where he is and just kind of getting eyes back 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.000 to tah and the timing is a little bit wonky 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.880 because it's a field type of play, like if the 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.360 linebacker doesn't move a certain speed, we have to kind 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.559 of adjust for that. And you see two u's feet 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.800 just like Peyton Manning style stuttering the pockets. Center in 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.200 the pocket, reset and get perfectly aligned to rip it 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.719 the tyreek in the second window that opens up. And 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.520 the coolest part about these plays is that it essentially 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.560 eliminates the pass rush on its own because it happens 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.880 in like one and a half seconds, and nobody ever 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.560 gets to the quarterback in under two seconds. It's just 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.920 not doable. And so to h by the nature of 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.280 his inherent skill set, which he you know, he's been 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.440 rapping since he was a child, to get it to 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:14.400 that level of proficiency, because he offers that you have 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.520 a handful of plays every single game where they cannot 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.600 get pressure in your quarterback. It's not possible. Because the 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.039 quarterback is so adept with the footwork, the processing, and 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.240 the release, all three of those elements of his game. 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.440 They might be the fastest in the NFL. I'm not 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.120 I'm not sure if it is, it's up there. And 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.040 because of that you get ten or fifteen reps of 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.039 game where the pass rush is negated against your passing plays. 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.000 It's it's high level. It's why his sack percentage is 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.520 so good. It's why every year his sack percentage is 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.040 way lower than any other Dolphins quarterback in the lineup. 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:48.600 When he gets injured or gets taken out of the game, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.200 whatever the case may be. It's a superpower of his 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.400 and gosh, the throw to Waddle just two plays later 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.080 is another superpower. He has color in his face immediately 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.240 as Austin Jackson gets pressed on the inside post like 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.320 right off the snap, and two us work in the 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.000 front side of the formation where the original read is 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.360 and Waddle is one of the two options to the backside. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.600 And this all happens in the amount of time that 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.800 it takes Jalen to get from the thirty three to 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.280 the thirty yard line. So it's a three yard situation 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.520 where Waddle covers three yards of ground And to what 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.840 does all of this? So to his eyes are to 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.960 tie reek to the field the front side, he whips 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.800 his head back to the back side and the hands separate, 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.640 which means, of course, the ball is coming within those 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.720 three yards of Waddle getting depth. The ball is out 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.160 as Waddle is splitting two defenders, and by the time 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.480 the ball and he intersect, it's into this wide open 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.560 pocket fifteen yards down the field. So you might see 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.600 these wide receivers like wide open watching the game, but 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.520 just know that a huge, the biggest part of it 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.920 is the quarterback playing as fast as the mind conceivably 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:57.720 can operate. Like the way he processes information in a 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.600 game where like, have you guys been field level in 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.400 NFL before? It moves very fast. That's why I like, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.520 I don't get too down on officials because it's a 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.800 tough thing to do. Now, pick your playing quarterback and 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:13.280 trying to put the football in this football sized you know, 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.160 target operating at that level of speed and proficiency. From 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:21.160 mental standpoint, those three elements of his game are the superpower. Okay, 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.280 that with the accuracy I just said, Okay, like a coach, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.680 that's not my style. Okay with me, everyone, keep with me. Okay, 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.880 those things with the accuracy, anticipation is why he's number 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.240 one and everything right now. It's why this offense is 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.640 functioning the way it is. I mean, you're gonna see 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.800 every excuse out there because it's the easiest thing to do. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.200 I'm telling you right now, those elements of his game 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.920 or why this offense is averaging three point three points 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.640 per possession under two A and it's down to like 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.360 three points perssession when you factor in every possession of 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.800 Dolphins have and the second place team is under three 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.880 points per possession. So, like, the Dolphins offense with two 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:00.560 is really really at a historic pace. And it's because 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.720 of those traits. It's not like everything else helps, but 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.800 two was the biggest factor of it. Guys like, understand that, please, 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.319 because it's the It's very much the truth. That's why 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.040 the guys that break the film down that you you 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.240 love and respect say the exact same thing. So it's 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.280 it's incredible to watch him do this, and it's to 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.520 operate that way with a blue jersey right in his face. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.640 It's just man, it's high, high level. Then you get 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.760 the second drive on one drive, the second drive, first 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.160 playoff drive number two. I love the design Texans wheel 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.360 into this cover three. Look, we have you know, three 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.920 deep defenders covering a third or third or third from 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.280 off coverage and both Jalen Waddle and Trent Sherfield just 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.440 run right at the post safety. Then Waddle puts his 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.160 foot in the ground and angles it back to the 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.040 corner for a post corner route, and that pulls the 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.600 post safety five yards back because he has to get 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.920 death to contend with this wattle corner route, and it 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.720 forces the outside corner and that deep third to flip 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.000 his hips and lose complete sight of the play. And 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.400 then from there it's just Trent Sherfield running away from 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.240 the outside leverage zone, quarterback on the other side, and 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.200 two of fires a thirty five yard line drive down 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.440 the field to Trent Sherfield. It picks up twenty four 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.520 yards because two had a deep drop on the play, 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.839 but it's a design that creates an easy twenty four 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.560 yard games. So there is some of that in the game, 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.960 but it's not at all all of it. It's all 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.240 when someone tells you, like, oh, they're only doing this 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.000 because of this, just say that's cool. I'm glad we 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.080 have elite receivers and elite play caller and elite quarterback. 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:25.800 It's fun when you have all those things, Like, I 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.760 don't care who's responsible for it, because it all works together. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.440 And that's why you're averaging three point three points per drive, 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.080 which is an absurd figure. Two points is what you 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.560 want to be. Three point three points per drive under 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.719 this quarterback. I'm fired up today, can you guys tell? So? 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.959 Then they come right back with a straight drop back 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.840 from under center, and you see the linebackers influenced by 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.960 Ingold from this offset I formation. I know you young 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:48.960 Madden players out there back in my golden days of 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.880 the early two thousand's know about some offset I formation 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.680 or they show action to run off tackle because Ingle 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.760 just angles his uh post snap track right off tackle 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.720 and it creates these false steps. And with that quick 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.200 process we talked about with to a one false step 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.520 and it's game over. We're talking two or three false steps. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.120 Hit the top of the drop balls out before Tyreek 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.960 hits the dig part of his inn breaker fifteen more 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:16.520 yards design quarterback proficiency, it's it's all clicking, man. He 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.920 creates these throwing windows so well for himself, Like there's 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.720 a reason he's a six ft quarterback who never gets 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.800 the ball by a down right. The fourth down pass 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.320 to Trent Surefield is a good example of that. Texans 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:30.200 bring four with a two man shell coverage, zone coverage 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.120 general not too man so I'm sorry too high shell 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.920 cover two two safeties up top, shell coverage underneath and 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.400 you see two A look at two guys. First, it's 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.680 Tyreek to the boundary and he's the two receivers. So 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.719 you're one is the furthest out. Your two is the 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.280 slot to the short side of the field and then 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.320 to the field side the wider side. Trent sherfield is 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.400 the three, which means one's furthest out. Two's next end. 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.640 Three is closest to the line scrimmage and to A 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.040 takes the shotgun snap and he wants to go now 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.360 catch rock throw, but the hook defender on Tyreek is 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.360 all over. He blankets. In fact, he drives on that 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.280 because to A hitches and does this subtle pump where 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.480 he just separates the hands and goes right back. And 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.240 when TA does that, this defender drives on Tyreek and 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.760 to A because he knows this, he has the answers 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.920 to the rest of the test. Because if you give 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.760 him the fifty fifty who wants to be a millionaire option, 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.040 he's gonna say, okay, well, based upon this information, Now 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.200 I have backside information and eliminate half of what I 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.840 have to read as a result, So to A knows 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.600 that him driving on that Tyreek route creates that inside window, 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.240 which is where Trent Sherefield's coming from the field cross 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.000 face of the defensive back. Now on a play like this, 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.160 it's another one of these situations where we saw this 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.120 throughout the course of the game on Sunday, where the 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.760 timing can be disjointed because you don't have in a 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.120 situation like that, you don't have the luxury of perfect mechanics. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.320 He's padding, resetting, searching for the perfect time to let 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.600 that ball go, and when he does, his feet are 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.559 basically planted not towards this target. They're off to the right. 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.440 He's thrown back to the left, and he's able to 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.280 get on location from this un inventional setup, which is 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.880 part of the ball handling RPO action and why he's 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.000 so sharp and the quick game. When you just it's like, 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.000 if I can describe it this way, it's like if 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.439 you're guarding someone in basketball and he's like in a 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.560 dribbling position and the ball is just up over your 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.679 head before you can react to block the shot, and 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.280 then it's gonna hit the bottom of the net because 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.760 he's so accurate, like the release, it's it's Philip Rivers, 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.600 it's Dan Marie. It's like it is among the best 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.360 I've ever seen. Quite frankly, that that's all. That's all 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.640 I gotta say about that. I thought the touchdown throw 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.880 was one of the better plays in his career, the 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.720 one to smithe as we continue to say that about 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.079 various plays each week. Every single route is absolutely blanketed 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.839 on us on this play, and luckily protection is great 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.960 to a constant can scan, but there's still nothing there, 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:45.960 so he has to move. He has to create because 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.520 once you get off that spot, the defensive backslide, the 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.800 receivers can open up. It becomes backyard football. And Derham 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.280 Smith is a great job just showing his numbers to 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.120 the quarterback and to a running away from a bunch 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.000 of large men on the move, throws dot right on 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.559 the numbers between the eight and the one for a touchdown. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.160 Good job Durham, good job protection, Good job to Ron 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.000 Armstead for a late block to free up to a 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:09.959 And what a job by two of the thing we 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.640 said about the glance route earlier, you get another example 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.000 on the long Tyreek catch and run because to interrupts 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.880 play fake action on the reverse pivot and sets up 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.280 and throws and before before the Texans get even realize, 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.920 they're taking false steps the passes behind their head. And 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.200 the reason this creates so much space for Tyreek to 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.160 show off that speed is very simple. I counted four 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.560 false steps from that backside linebacker in the wrong direction 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.960 after do you draw us halfway across the country and 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:43.160 the wrong direction after two had thrown the ball. And 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.480 it looks simple, but I promise you it's not. Take 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.800 the snap, right foot, drop step, then open up with 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.360 that second step with the left foot, which is the 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.560 plant leg. So his first step with that left leg 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.160 is his plant foot. So one two ball out back 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.120 to the defense, get to the set up, and a 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.040 matter of less than us second and that ball is 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.000 already coming out again. I know it seems simple, but 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.040 look around the league and you're not gonna find many 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.640 quarterbacks doing this stuff. Man similar deal on the pop 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.000 to river Cracraft balls out as Cracraft takes his first 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.800 step around the reroute putt in the defense and extreme 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.000 peril where if I if I take any step forward, 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.600 the balls behind my ear hole, and I can't do 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.680 anything about that. If I take a step back, I 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.280 now am giving up leverage to an offensive line flowing downhill. 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.960 Like it's to maximize as your ability to do that 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.640 stuff and create that conflict. Now, Wattle had a pair 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.960 of drops in this game. The second one was really 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.360 really good stuff from tous Cedric Wilson runs a good 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.000 clear out route to move the safeties and create a 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.320 pocket behind the hook zone. But both linebackers have gotten 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.880 what looks like proper depth. They're at the sticks ten 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.840 yards down field, and to me, that's preparation. Knowing the 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.440 Dolphins eat this part of the field for breakfast, lunch, 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.920 and dinner. I better get more depth. But when your 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.040 quarterback is playing almost perfectly, it don't matter. Because here 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.880 comes Waddle breaking his route into eleven yards one yard behind. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.280 He could literally reach out and touch those hook linebackers. 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.680 So what does TWA do? Does the exact same thing? 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.840 It into the Gasecki throw against Baltimore. Put it up high, 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.840 put it up over their arms. So the only guy 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.080 that can make a catch is your receiver. It's right 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.440 on Waddle's hands, just couldn't complete the catch. But what 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.320 a freaking throw. Man. That's where you see the velocity 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.040 that t has on those intermediate shots, those rip throws. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.880 He also does it, by the way, taking on water 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.640 in the pocket as more pressure got to two, as 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:25.920 was kind of the case in this game. We'll talk 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:27.640 more about that here in a second. I love the 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.240 deep shot to Sherfield, the almost hit that one. That's 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.320 one of those plays where you hit that and the 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.280 defense has to say to themselves, what the hell do 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.640 we do? Man? We have to worry about Tyreek and Jalen, 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.160 and now we got Trent Surefield running past us, Like 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.880 who I love that idea. I think we'll come back 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:43.160 to that again later in the year and see a 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.600 potential opportunity there with Surefield going deep. The deep ball 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:50.120 to Waddle that he did catch was really created by 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.440 a pump fake on a cross to Tyreek Hill. It's 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.240 coach talked AboutUs on Monday about Tyreek's commanding attention. Well, 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:57.640 and we'll play that sound clip for you here at 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.760 the end of the show. They're in too high and 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.200 the boundary safety bites on the pump fake to it 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.840 really sells this PUMPI to Tyreek and he comes up 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.399 and takes himself out of the equation from that wide 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.760 side of the field to open it up for Jalen Waddle, 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.240 who's running that kind of post to the pylon. And 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:14.679 right now, that doesn't make any sense. It's it's a 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.439 crossing route that looks like it's going to the pylon, 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.359 but it winds up going to the post. And you 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.440 got to give the field safety credit because he did 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.399 keep depth and stayed on top of the route. But 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.000 you see the boundary safety drive hard on that pump 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:27.679 fake and then to gave his guy a shot. And 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.720 since Jalen's that dude goes up and makes a play 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.440 for thirty four yards very next play man, they could 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.719 boot right into a Texans free runner. It didn't work. 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.040 The design of the play didn't work. But sometimes you 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.640 need your players to make play when the play calls wrong. 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.119 To who doesn't as much as anybody, He's got to stop, 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:47.000 pivot and throw. And he throws from a possession, falling back, 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.359 squared completely up with the middle of his shoulders both 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.880 pointing towards his target, the apposite, the opposite of ideal. Right, 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.200 but the balls there, Tres got out for a first down. 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.960 It's so impressive because on plays like this, you're happy 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.080 if the quarterback to avoid a negative. Not only are 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.359 we doing that, we're generating positive plays and situations like 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.920 this and doing it with regularity. The sacks that to 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.000 avoid it in the final two minutes of the half 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.119 backed up on that one play, that's great, great stuff 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.240 from your quarterback, and then throw it away, live to 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.040 fight another day because you come back in his twenty 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.119 five yards River Cracraft like save the play because this 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.200 offense is good enough to execute on second and ten, 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.960 third and ten. Stay alive. That's the key, because you're 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.160 so good and so efficient that you've got to stay 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.280 alive because you always have a chance. We'll go ahead 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.600 and finish here with another avoided sack from to a 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.000 big completion at Cidric Wilson on the last drive of 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:38.040 the first half. Pressure immediately to twos right. He steps 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.480 up off the spot and with more pressure from the 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.879 left side because both tackles got ran back into the 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:47.000 quarterback to a does this accelerated throwing motion where the 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.560 ball is just up and out before that clean defender 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:52.760 has a chance to put his hand on the ball. 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.679 He was substantially closer to to Ah than Bradley Chubb 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.440 was to Kyle Allen on his force fumble, and to 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:01.840 hasn't lost a fumble all year. In fact, he only 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.040 has the one I believe on the season opener, stuff 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.720 like this is why, oh, by the way, a strike 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:09.400
