I'm 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:27.240 not gonna ask you how it's going. I know how 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:29.760 it's going. I am your host, Travis Wingfield, and I'm 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:33.080 here to bring you your daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:36.920 And on today's show, Dolphins fall seventeen to the Indianapolis 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.000 Colts to fall to one and three on the season. 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.320 We'll get to the five takeaways we're gonna hear from 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.680 Brian Flores in his postgame press conference. I thought he 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:45.479 had a lot of good stuff to say in that 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.600 press conference. And we'll also play a postgame show segment 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.560 for you guys with myself, Seth and o J from 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.600 right after this game, all on this edition of the 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.240 Drivetime Podcast from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:04.000 Health Training Complex. This is the Drivetime Podcast. We're gonna 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.440 play this quickly today, guys, because I know there's not 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:07.920 a lot you want to hear about right now. We're 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.119 gonna talk about this game critically here, and I want 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.360 to jump into the five takeaways right off the bat, 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.319 and the first one has to be the offensive struggles, 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:16.840 or really, let's go ahead and call it what it is, 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.399 the ineptitude of the offense total yards, inability to convert 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:24.360 short yardage, missed downfield opportunities, offensive line and protection issues 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:28.000 from the quarterback, running back, receivers, drop passes, muffing punts, 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.000 everything you could want to go wrong. Through the first 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.920 four games of the season for the offense, it's just 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.080 not been good enough. And Brian Flora has intimated that 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.959 fact as well in his postgame press conference. You look 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.840 at even the touchdown Passavante Parker late in this game, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.080 like there's a wide open running back on the backside 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.120 who's just staying there all alone. It's Malcolm Brown sitting there, 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.560 wide open. And then on the Mica Sicki touchdown past, 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.080 he's wide open and the ball hits him in the 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.360 back hip and he trips and gets across the goal 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.520 line but almost fails on that fourth down opportunity because 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.080 of the past behind him. So every single instance for 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.520 this offense right now, it just seems like it's a struggle. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.880 Seems like it's difficult for them to overcome any of 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.200 the mistakes they make which apparently are appeared to be 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.880 occurring on a play by play or drive by drive 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.200 or series by series basis. And you know, the first 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.080 three quarters of this game, once again, the offense kind 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:18.760 of stuck in the mud. The only points they scored 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.800 early on was off of the muff punt from the 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.440 Colts early in this game, after a Dolphins four play 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.520 eight yard drive that winds up with three points. After 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.080 that muff punt right on the fringe of the red zone, 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.799 the second drive of the game goes into field goal territory, 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:32.840 but it gets knocked backwards kind of on the fringe 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.560 of field goal range. On they sacked there on Jacoby Brissette. 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.560 They went up punting that ball and getting them down 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.760 at the one yard line, and then the offense gets 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.680 to the ball back in the exact same position, but 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.720 once again midfield cannot convert any first downs to get 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.200 into scoring range. So the first three quarters looked a 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.959 lot like the first three quarters of the Radar game, 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.600 minus the defensive touchdown and the twenty four yard Malcolm 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.640 Brown touchdown run. And then once the fourth quarter comes around, 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.560 it begins to open up a little bit explosive place 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.160 on the first touchdown drive of the game, twenty one 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.160 yards on that drive after the defense allows a touchdown. 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.320 Right after that touchdown drive, Davante Parker forty two yards 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.360 on the first play of that drive on a fifty 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:15.440 fifty ball. So explosive plays are within this offense is capabilities. 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.359 We just are not seeing it until very late in 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.280 the game of the offense is right up against it, 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.560 against the clock, against the scoreboard, and has to get points. 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.760 Now that's when they can start to open things up 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.680 and get some of the production there. But all things told, offensively, 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.760 it's just not been good enough. You're gonna find this 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.520 Dolphins team near the bottom of the rankings in every 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:36.840 major major offensive statistical category when you open up the papers, 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.200 or I guess more realistically, open up your website, your 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:43.240 web browser tomorrow, because in this game from Miami offensively, 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.480 at one point, Jonathan Taylor had more points in the 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.960 Dolphins offense combined. But for the Dolphins offensively in this 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:50.960 game three of eleven on third down, they were two 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.760 for two on fourth down. Two hundred three total yards, 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.800 a hundred and sixty eight passing yards, thirty five rushing yards, 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.480 forty nine total plays and they wind up with two turnovers, 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.640 three sacks allowed, and five penalties for thirty two yards 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.000 and twenty two minutes fifty one seconds time of possession. 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.000 But offensively right now, it's broken. I mean, what else 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.640 can you say about it? Your quarterback is out. That 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.040 happened back in week two. Three games now without two 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.080 a tongue by Lowo for the most part, and the 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.760 offense has very very has really really struggled to find 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.680 any offensive efficiency or consistency or points or anything that 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.040 you want to talk about positively. For the offense has 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.200 been very difficult to come by. Injuries at the receiver position. 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.440 Will Flour leaves this game with a hand injury and 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.599 did not return. Waddle gets himself targets early in the game, 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.400 maybe part of the play script early on, and makes 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.000 a bunch of moves in eighteen yard reception to break 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.000 a tackle and get yards after the catch. Then a 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:43.800 nice catch on a little stick route where he puts 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.760 his foot in the ground and makes a guy miss, 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.320 and then has another catch that's for shorter yardage and 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.000 then doesn't see the ball the rest of the game. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.160 Davanta Parker waits or not waits, but it took until 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.600 the fourth quarter to get Davanta Parker going for four 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.840 catches for seventy seven yards. Mike get sick. He took 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.880 him late in this game to get going for five 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.520 matches for fifty seven yards. So the offensive weapons, to me, 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.279 are there, and there are some drops here and there 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.720 and some miscommunications and you know, just whatever the case 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.920 may be. At the receiver position, there have been some 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.039 downsides to that position. But to me, that's been the 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:15.960 strength of the offense and could be the strength of 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.360 the offense going forward because right now, at the other positions, 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.800 and that's the offense in total. As Brian Flores will 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.440 tell you, it's just not good enough. The quarterback position. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.240 Balls are off target, they're late. There was an opportunity 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.520 in this game, and it was right after a while. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.559 I had a couple of nice plays and big gains 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.680 in this game where he comes open on a crossing 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.560 route down the middle of the field and there's nobody 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.520 near him and the ball goes short to Malcolm Brown 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.039 on a checkdown. The offensive line, that protection issues continue 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.719 to be a problem through four games. I mean this 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.400 this The quarterbacks are constantly under durest and trying to 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.279 have to make plays. And I think we saw it 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:50.800 kind of come to a head in this game when 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.640 Jacobe Brissette tried to make a play where it was 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.680 dead in the water. But I don't fault him because 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.600 there was so many things going on around him as 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.400 far as the scoreboard and the defense, as they have 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.240 done this year in the second half, kind of start 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.960 to let up on their grip on the opposing offenses 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.000 throw as they've kind of hold teams down early on, 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.520 and then things get a little bit wonky later on 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.600 in the game, and I think Jacoby might have sensed 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.400 that a little bit try to make a play where 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:15.880 he just really tried to play hero ball and it 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.440 wind up hurting him there on that fumble. So that's 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.880 not good from the protection standpoint, from the quarterback standpoint, 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.960 and you know, just Austin Jackson in this game, I 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.599 thought had a really really rough go of it. He 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.440 was chasing guys into the backfield for the majority of 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.599 the game. I thought the m Eikenberg had some really 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.839 rough moments as well, even on the interior, some of 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.960 the communication stuff, some of the knock back in the 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.840 running game, allowing penetration just the thirty eight yards in 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.840 the ground as well, So I thought offensive line had 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.760 a really rough go of it today as well. And 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.200 then the tight end position also, I mean, you know, 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.120 Kasiki has the big game receiving, but they had a 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.280 possible chance to pin an edge and get a big 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.600 run off the outside that he misses that block. Adam 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.760 Shaheen Durham smythe a couple of times as well where 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.599 the edge just does not quite get sealed the running backs, 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.800 whether it's catching the football trying to find daylight in 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.280 the running game, or in past protection, just across the board, 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.240 it's not good enough. And so the first takeaway from 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.680 this game is that the offense has just been completely 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.600 inept through the first four games and they're going to 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.320 see the consequences of that on the stats on Monday 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.440 morning when you open up Pro Football Reference and go 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.000 to the yards and yards per play and every big stat, 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.120 it's gonna be near the bottom from Miami, and that's 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.320 just not where you want to be four games into 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.520 the season. Takeaway number two I thought was kind of 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:23.800 a lot of these are gonna play off of that 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.720 first takeaway. Takeaway number two is that I thought the 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.880 Colts were playing in a position early in that game 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.520 where there were some opportunities for Miami to attack vertically, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.200 And I mentioned the wattle throw a lot of Julian 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.280 Blackman's single high looks in that game where he's playing 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.280 off and guys are playing in tight and there zoning 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.440 things up and and maybe some chances to go at field, 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.360 and we we took a couple of later in the game, 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.320 not so much earlier in the game, but once they 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.560 did take those opportunities late in the game, some of 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.320 the deep shots to Davante Parker certainly open things up. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:50.920 And I just think Miami is gonna have to find 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.520 a way, whether it's taken with the defense gives you 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.800 dialing up the deep shots within the game, whatever the 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.680 case may be, They're gonna have to find a way 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.960 to get more space and get more creativity and get 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.360 more vertical in this offense because right now, the way 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.240 things are going, I think opposing defenses have way too 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.040 much confidence in playing in front of them and playing short, 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:12.320 and it's really handcuffing what this offense can do, and handcuffing, 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.560 like we talked about what the offense is main threat 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.280 I think is is the vertical speed getting up field 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.360 and the playmakers they have on offense. So let's go 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.960 ahead and go to Brian Flores who talked about the 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.040 deep shots early in this game whether or not Miami 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.480 had the opportunity to get deep in vertical. Let's go 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.000 ahead and go to the head coach of the Miami 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.120 Dolphins on the Dolphins attempt to get vertical in this game, 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:38.559 trying to take a methodical approach early. Um, we did, 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.199 you know, have some shot plays early, they covered them. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:49.120 We had to check them down and you know, we 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:50.960 weren't able to you know, push it down the field 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.680 as much as we wanted to early in the game. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.760 So there you go. There's Brian Flores talking about the 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.080 approach to try to get vertical, but the methodical approach 0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:59.959 wand up being the one they took there. So take 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.520 away number two Colts kind of playing up tight to 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.319 the Las scrimmage there in some instance, isn't giving some 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.640 opportunities for Miami to get those deep shots. They hit 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.960 a few of them later on, But once they opened 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:10.800 it up. We talked about this in the Wednesday podcast 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.439 last week. Right once they opened up the offense, explosive 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.600 plays of one yards and then after the touchdown the 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.000 defense allowed they come right back on a forty two 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.360 yard pass at DeVante Parker on a fifty fifty ball 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.480 that looked very good. So that's the takeaway number two. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.520 Takeaway number three here is that the takeaway streak continue 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.120 from Miami. I know it was a muff punt that 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:31.400 was the only one they got in the game, and 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.319 really that's about where the game turns our for the 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.760 Miami Dolphins, but they get the takeaway consecutive games. With 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.600 a takeaway takeaway number four. Going right back into the 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.800 offensive stuff here is that reports indicate that two a 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.000 tongue of by lower from from Adam Schefter will be 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.920 able to come back off the injury reserve and play 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.680 in the Week six game in London. So hopefully that 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.679 can kind of spark this offense and get things going 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.000 in the right direction. And I pose this question to 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.360 O Jim McDuffie post game about how how much of 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.200 this offensive struggle so far can be tied back to 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.440 the fact that you haven't had your starting quarterback who 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.360 you spent the entire offseason kind of, you know, building 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.720 an offensive identity around what he does well. Obviously, you 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.520 want to build it not just for one player but 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.720 for an entire team. But you also want to consider 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.480 the strength of your quarterback, and I thought they did 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.520 a good job of doing that in the offseason with 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.120 the Jilan Waddle selection, with the Will Fuller selection. You 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.000 also think about his quick release and the ball out 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.840 factor in the RPO game and the vertical as well 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.839 as the horizontal game. And when you do take the 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.960 vertical shot, it's timing base so he can put the 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.480 ball up early and let guys run under it. That 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.800 kind of mitigates the not doesn't mitigate the need for 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.439 good protection. You always need good protection, but it can 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.880 help kind of shore up some of those potential woes 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.280 if you do have protection issues up front. With a 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.079 quick release of the quarterback. And to lose him really 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.320 really after the first game because he played what two 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.319 series and it was about five and a half minutes 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.719 into the Buffalo game that he gets knocked out, I'm 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.840 curious to see how this offense looks when he comes 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.200 back in. Get some timing, get some rhythm, gets some 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.480 stuff going for the offense. As far as having some 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.680 content new, maybe they find a little bit more of 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.640 their identity in those next couple of weeks before he 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.440 comes back for the Jacksonville game and they can hopefully 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.560 hit the ground running when he comes back healthy. But 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.280 from Adam Schefter, he says that sounds like two was 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.000 gonna be ready to play coming off the i R 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.080 in Week six in London. But of course we have 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:16.920 a game next week in Tampa Bay that will be 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.000 Jacoby Brissette at quarterback once again. As Brian Flores told 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.240 us post game that there was no thought in his 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.360 mind to go to read senate after Jacoby Brissette struggles 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.400 here for his third game here with the Miami Dolphins 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.080 under center, and then take away number five. Some of 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.320 the stuff I liked in this game. I thought Jalen 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.679 Waddle had a lot of good moments operating in space. 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.679 I talked about the three catches he made and just 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.480 the moves he put out there and the way he 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.760 comparatively moves to other guys on a National Football League field. 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.640 It doesn't it shouldn't look like that for anybody, and 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.520 for a rookie to come in and look that good man. 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.520 It's the way he moves and the way he can 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.520 kind of put defenders in conflict the way he did 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.199 on that catch the stick route where he makes a 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.199 move and and break some ankles. I thought that was 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.400 very impressive and early in this game to get him 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.080 the ball early on in the script of the game. 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.480 Hopefully they can find a way to continue pumping him 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.480 the football and get him down the field, because we 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.800 talked about it again on the postgame show. Zero real 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.240 vertical shots so far this year to Jalan Waddle since 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.520 that first pass from two to Waddle for thirty six 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.880 yards in the Patriots game. But I thought he was 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.600 a real bright spot and a tough tough game to 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.480 find bright spots. I liked Waddles game. Also thought Mike A. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.120 Sikey had some good moments in the passing game. They're 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.840 late obviously five for fifty seven and the touchdown catch. 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.920 Davante Parker just showing you what he does best, right 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.120 going up and getting the football, winning those one on 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.800 one matchups. It doesn't really matter if he's covered on 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.079 those contested balls. DeVante park is gonna find a way 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.440 to go up and get the football. And then also 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.040 the two other guys in my list here are two 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.920 edge rushers, Jalen Phillips had a bunch of QB hits today. 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.120 I'll we'll see the number tomorrow on the recap show 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.040 or the the omission show. It had to have been 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.920 at least three QB hits. Also gets his first career 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.440 half sack, teaming up with Sam edg Van on a 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.760 third down stack to get the Dolphins defense off the field. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.880 And then Emmanuel Ogba as well. I thought he played 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.680 a fantastic game, getting after the quarterback, stuffing the run 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.600 he had to drive in the second quarter. Maybe it 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.360 was the first quarter where he basically stopped the entire 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.280 drive by himself, had the run stop right at the 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.679 line for no game, had a pressure on Wentz that 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.000 forced an errand throw, and then comes back on third 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.120 down and gets the sack to get the defense off 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:16.200 the field. So, if you want to look at some 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.199 of the positive individual performances, I thought those guys were 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.760 you're positive takeaways. Now those are the five takeaways, But 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.720 I feel like that's not sufficient enough for this postgame 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.120 recap podcast because we we really got to talk about 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.560 some of the shortcomings and things that went wrong for 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.400 this football team. Number one thing is this team is 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.480 going to have to find a way. It's still so 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.320 early in the season, Like, you can't just sit here 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.480 and say, well, one of three tough, tough luck for us. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.080 I guess he again next year. That can't happen for 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.920 just for this season for sure, but also for future reference. 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.760 You have to find a way to rally this team together, 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:50.480 find out which guys are gonna be the ones that 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.200 can stick through it and and battle battle past this 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.920 really difficult start again for the third straight year oh 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.839 and four, two years ago, one and three, last year, 0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.880 one and three again this year. Now. Everything turned to 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.480 out in Week five last year against the forty niners. 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.000 Next week tough, tough task with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.760 on the road in that game. But you have to 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.120 find out which leaders are going to be the ones 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.720 that guide you into the face of this you know, 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.560 this s storm as it were, because that's kind of 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.320 what Miami's facing right now. It's everything looks rough. I 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.400 mean I heard a podcast where someone talked about the 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.360 Raiders game and they said, well, they were playing the Dolphins, 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.800 Like that was not the expectation coming into this season. 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.200 This Dolphins team had a lot of positive vibes going 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.360 on around them, and right now the vibe around the 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.600 Dolphins is difficult. So how can you ignore that outside 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.960 noise and rely on the leaders withinside the building here 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.040 to to put in the work, to put in the 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.040 time to make the corrections and get going in the 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.360 right direction. That is going to be the key, because 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.360 there are so many things right now to correct. Me 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.040 go again across just kind of across the board. The 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.320 offensive line, it's it's not been good enough. I mean 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:56.080 Austin Jackson was chasing guys in the backfield all game long. Um, 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.000 Jesse Davis had some moments I thought where he was. 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.520 He was beating pass rush in the run in the 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.280 run game. Greg Mans some some knock back in the 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:03.800 running game, and he hasn't played in a while. His 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.880 first game starting kind of surprise, Michael Dieter gets injured 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.000 on Wednesday. You pull up Greg Man's it's a tough task. 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.240 But he had some moments. I thought, Rob Hunt, I 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:12.920 saw him on the ground a few times, you know, 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.600 struggle for him at right guard today, leam Mikeelberg got 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.080 beat for a second early in this game, just across 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.440 the five front there. It's it's hard to win football 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.680 games as coach floor Let's actually go to coach Floors 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.240 on this point, because I thought this was one of 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.480 his best points in a very good press conference here 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.360 where he talked a little bit about the disconnect and 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.280 where things have kind of gone wrong for this team 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.520 so far at this stage of the season. And again 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.120 I thought he was very forthright and very transparent about 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.080 some of the issues this team is facing because you 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.240 put together good practice, you put together a good camp 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.320 and off season program, and you get out here and 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:46.320 it hasn't translated to Sundays and the inconsistencies and the 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.200 fact that there are too many mistakes on too many 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.200 plays that just continues to hamper this offense and defense 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.160 as well the entire team. Let's go to Brian Floors 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.600 and hear his answer regarding the disconnect right now for 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.440 this team in the slow start. I think this is 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.000 a hard working team. I think they compete, they prepare 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:07.920 the right way. It's not it's not manifesting itself on 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:12.760 Sundays right now. Um, for long enough periods of time, 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.800 we are inconsistent. We can't string you know, plays together. 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:23.440 When we do string plays together, there's a penalty or 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:27.200 a drop that sets us back, or a penalty defensively 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.280 and then you know, instead of being off the field, 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.640 we're back on the field. Or a penalty, you know, 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.400 in the kicking game, instead of getting the ball, we 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.880 give it back to them. I mean, there's a lot 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.320 of things are that aren't connected. You've got to play 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.280 complimentary football in this league. We had not been able 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.880 to do that. I think we got to take a 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.080 look at everything. Um, we will take a look at everything. 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.680 But I would say it's it's really you know, across 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:59.920 the board, offense, defense, special teams. Starts with me coaching. 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:01.880 I gotta do a better job. I know I say 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.199 that every week. I don't want to come up here 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.080 and say that every week, but I gotta do a 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.520 better job. I'm figuring out a way to help us, 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:15.800 you know, play better than that. Um, But we also 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.280 have to, you know, we gotta play better. And we're 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.040 out there taking turns and making mistakes in all three phases, 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.920 and you know, it's not enough. It's not good enough 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.760 talking about taking turns, making mistakes, like he said, it's 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.120 not good enough, and it's just something springs up. I've 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.320 referred to this so many times that the Chevy Chase 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.119 Um Vegas vacation scene where he's trying to plug the 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:38.840 holes in the damn with with the bubble gum. It's 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:40.800 like every time you plug something up and you get 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.360
