Speaker 1: That's looking deep down field, touchdown, Miami drun. What is up?
Speaker 1: Dolphans And welcome to the Drivetime Podcast, part of the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody, I'm doing great on a Sunday night.
Speaker 1: It's a victory Monday edition of the Drivetime Podcast. I
Speaker 1: am your host, Travis Winkfield, and as always I am
Speaker 1: here to bring you your daily dose of Miami Dolphins football.
Speaker 1: And on today's show, I have to believe you all
Speaker 1: know what's coming. A third straight victory for your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: When when when win? What's right? It is a victory
Speaker 1: Monday edition of the Drivetime Podcast. We're celebrating another victory
Speaker 1: and another victory over our arrival of the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the five tape aways from the
Speaker 1: game from the weekend. We're gonna talk about the MetLife takeover,
Speaker 1: which if you have not made it up for a
Speaker 1: MetLife take over to the New York area, I highly
Speaker 1: highly recommended. What a fantastic weekend we had here celebrating
Speaker 1: with all these Dolphins fans and celebrating this football team.
Speaker 1: Will cover that the five takeaways, and we'll play a
Speaker 1: segment for you guys from the postgame show with myself,
Speaker 1: O J. McDuffie and Seth Levitt. All of that more
Speaker 1: on the special on location from New Jersey, from New York,
Speaker 1: from MetLife Stadium, not from the Baptist Health Studios inside
Speaker 1: the Baptist Health Training Complex, but still on the road.
Speaker 1: This is the Drive Time Podcasts. Go ahead and start
Speaker 1: with the five takeaways here. First number one is two
Speaker 1: and the offense find their footing in the second half
Speaker 1: and back to two. A tongue by lowis stat line
Speaker 1: in that second half of this game. The bad interception
Speaker 1: in that first half that he acknowledged was a bad
Speaker 1: throw and a bad ball that he wishes he had back.
Speaker 1: He also acknowledged the offense having some plays they would
Speaker 1: like back in that game. But they came back strong
Speaker 1: in that second half, finishing out the second half eleven
Speaker 1: for twelve with a hundred and forty four passing yards
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns in that second half. We talk all
Speaker 1: the time about the gotta have at moments. Once again
Speaker 1: in this game, Miami was sharp on offense when they
Speaker 1: had to have it. There was a bit of a
Speaker 1: lull there in the second quarter, or I should say
Speaker 1: end of the first, mid second, or all the way
Speaker 1: through the second quarter, when the offense just couldn't get
Speaker 1: out of its own way. Some mistakes here and there
Speaker 1: to have mentioned the bad throw running game, couldn't get
Speaker 1: much going protection, not great, just the offense kind of
Speaker 1: hit a bit of a pothole there before They did
Speaker 1: find their footing later on. But the the result of
Speaker 1: the drives in that second half is the main focus
Speaker 1: of this portion of the podcast, because you get a
Speaker 1: an explosive play right the longest touchdown pass in the
Speaker 1: career of two tungle by Low and goes sixty five
Speaker 1: yards to to almost Dan Waddle to mac Hollins for
Speaker 1: the big touchdown there. And that drive takes four plays
Speaker 1: ninety yards, two minutes and thirteen seconds off the clock.
Speaker 1: Then you have won three and out three plays for
Speaker 1: nine yards, then four team plays seventy five yards, seven
Speaker 1: minutes and forty four seconds of game clock. Then you
Speaker 1: come back after the Jets go down and put points
Speaker 1: back on the board twelve plays forty five yards, six
Speaker 1: minutes fifty three seconds and kicked the field goal to
Speaker 1: put the Dolphins up by ten points and essentially out
Speaker 1: of reach late in that football game. And you want
Speaker 1: to talk about helping out your defense, that's a good
Speaker 1: way to do it right there. Get the time possession
Speaker 1: in your favor, especially late in a game. And in fact,
Speaker 1: the reporters post game asked Xavian Howard how he felt
Speaker 1: about the offense pretty much taking the air out of
Speaker 1: the football on those two drives, and he just said,
Speaker 1: I love that stuff, and he didn't say stuff. But
Speaker 1: as for two, uh, I guess you know, I don't
Speaker 1: understand what the expectation is of two. And maybe here
Speaker 1: I'm sort of arguing with myself or against a collection
Speaker 1: of tweets that I see, or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 1: But what's the expectation here? I mean, twenty three year
Speaker 1: old quarterback hasn't even played a full sixteen games yet,
Speaker 1: and most of the time things are tight late in games.
Speaker 1: He plays his best ball in those moments, and the
Speaker 1: other stuff the in between is all getting better every
Speaker 1: single week. And that's what Brian Fluores said post game.
Speaker 1: He said he thinks that every time to gets on
Speaker 1: the field, he's getting better. And that's a great trajectory
Speaker 1: if your twenty three year old quarterback in his second season. Now,
Speaker 1: one of the things that I noticed about this game
Speaker 1: in recent games here from Miami and what to it
Speaker 1: brings to the offense is a certain package of plays
Speaker 1: and the sequence of plays you can run off of
Speaker 1: those plays that he does so well, they're difficult to defend.
Speaker 1: And we talked about this in the post game show
Speaker 1: with myself and Seth and o J. And I just asked,
Speaker 1: O J, you know, I know that you can't. You
Speaker 1: can't construct an entire offense around the r p O
Speaker 1: and the quick game. You just you just cannot live
Speaker 1: that way where you only have this one package. That's
Speaker 1: kind of like saying, I'm only gonna run, you know,
Speaker 1: outside zone in my running game nothing else. You can't
Speaker 1: do that. You have to be multiple. But the ability
Speaker 1: to get to the r p O, the quick game
Speaker 1: and the recals that they can display off of that,
Speaker 1: and the conflict that all those plays create that gets
Speaker 1: defenders thinking about multiple things and some of the coverage
Speaker 1: busts that can create, or just the confusion in the
Speaker 1: gaps that can create in the defense. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of value to that, and it might not be a
Speaker 1: of your offense. But if it's even of the offense,
Speaker 1: that's a pretty damn good starting point. Again for a
Speaker 1: twenty three year old second year quarterback that he can
Speaker 1: really excel and really flourish in those roles and did
Speaker 1: have an offense that with certain pieces kind of coming
Speaker 1: together here can kind of take advantage of those strengths.
Speaker 1: I think you have to be very happy with that.
Speaker 1: And then you sprinkle in some of the vertical shots.
Speaker 1: And again the RPO quick game stuff did help generate
Speaker 1: that busted coverage last week against the Ravens where Albert
Speaker 1: Wilson got free up the sideline. We saw some instances
Speaker 1: in this game where to a converted third downs with
Speaker 1: the r P O game. But that in addition to
Speaker 1: his ability to escape pressure, and again, this kid finds
Speaker 1: a way to get out of pressure and kind of
Speaker 1: step off the spot and and extend and create He's
Speaker 1: very good in that area. I just think you're watching
Speaker 1: a young quarterback improve and develop in front of our eyes,
Speaker 1: and I, for one, find that to be very very
Speaker 1: exciting as a Dolphins fan for the last twenty five years,
Speaker 1: where you just haven't had that very often at that
Speaker 1: position where you felt confident going forward in certain areas
Speaker 1: and development of a young guy's game. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill was the last draft pick, took him a
Speaker 1: while to get going into his career, Chad Henny, pat White,
Speaker 1: some of the other guys that were here before that.
Speaker 1: Not to to bag on on those guys are dunk
Speaker 1: on those guys, and I think of the sort they
Speaker 1: were all very good players, obviously just didn't work out
Speaker 1: here in Miami. But to see a quarterback develop and
Speaker 1: progress and to show that stuff that you want to see,
Speaker 1: that's really important to me. And so I just think
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins should the Dolphins fans out there should
Speaker 1: be more excited about what you're seeing from him, especially
Speaker 1: in these big time moments when the game is really
Speaker 1: coming down to it on the line. There and two
Speaker 1: seems to play his best ball in those moments, and
Speaker 1: the offense in general has kind of followed suit there
Speaker 1: as well. Jalen Waddle moves into third all time on
Speaker 1: the rookie receptions list for your Miami Dolphins. He has
Speaker 1: a big game here, and an even bigger game if
Speaker 1: he can just stay in bounds on that little half
Speaker 1: step out of bounds that he barely kicked up the
Speaker 1: was not you know, kick up chalk on field turf,
Speaker 1: but his foots on the white just barely, and there's
Speaker 1: only one defender there about ten yards away. We almost
Speaker 1: got to see the Ferrari come out of the garage
Speaker 1: on that play, and you could tell he thought it
Speaker 1: was too because he came up really disappointed that he
Speaker 1: stepped on the sideline there. But he winds up eight
Speaker 1: for sixty five. If he gets that seventy whatever, you're
Speaker 1: a touchdown. That's something else, but didn't happen, so we'll
Speaker 1: play it like that. But he did also add a
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown, and this is a great Brett breck eisenstat
Speaker 1: from our PR department does great research for us. He
Speaker 1: was the second rookie receiver with a rushing touchdown this
Speaker 1: season besides Elijah Moore for the Jets, who also is
Speaker 1: a very good player in his own right out of
Speaker 1: American heritage. There with Pat Surtan in South Florida. The
Speaker 1: rest of the offense and other numbers here, Miles or
Speaker 1: rather mac hollins. Wow, easy for me to say two
Speaker 1: catches seventy two yards and a touchdown and the second
Speaker 1: catch the the seven yard completion was a big third
Speaker 1: down conversion in this game. Mike Ga Sicky five for
Speaker 1: fifty and Durham Smith four for seventy for thirty seven,
Speaker 1: and some other guys caught passes too, but that was
Speaker 1: the biggest producers in this game. Takeaway number two was
Speaker 1: the game plan for the defense, the pressure looks, and
Speaker 1: the Jets ability to really kind of attack it as
Speaker 1: best as they could. I thought the ball got out
Speaker 1: wide a whole bunch, and that was really impressive for
Speaker 1: them to find that kind of when you're gonna play
Speaker 1: that zero coverage and you have the inside leverage, like
Speaker 1: that's kind of where the ball besides over the top.
Speaker 1: That's where that defense is maybe most vulnerable at times
Speaker 1: in certain looks. And I thought the Jets did a
Speaker 1: good job of getting too those speedouts. And you know,
Speaker 1: we finally saw a slant pattern cause a problem on
Speaker 1: this defense, and that will happen sometimes, obviously in zero
Speaker 1: coverage looks if you get beat by just that small margin.
Speaker 1: And Byron's right there for that play, just not quite
Speaker 1: in position enough to make the play. He just missed
Speaker 1: that ball in his diving attempt and it goes out
Speaker 1: the back gate for sixty two yards and a touchdown,
Speaker 1: And I was just talking about how he's playing so
Speaker 1: well in that game and that play will obviously get
Speaker 1: charged to his statistics there, but that, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the kind of the risk you run with the defense.
Speaker 1: But to have it only happened really spring a big
Speaker 1: play one time in the last four weeks or so,
Speaker 1: I think that's very impressive with the Jets, just to
Speaker 1: to find a way to compete and put out three
Speaker 1: dred and eighty yards in this game. I thought that
Speaker 1: was impressive work there from Joe Flacco. But the pressure
Speaker 1: and in general from Miami was relentless throughout the course
Speaker 1: of the day. Obviously it led to a big play
Speaker 1: from Brandon Jones there, but the third down defense was,
Speaker 1: you know, seven for fourteen for the Jets. But Miami
Speaker 1: certainly made their fair share of big plays on those
Speaker 1: third downs, including a big Jalen Phillips sack to get
Speaker 1: the defense off the field. Emmanuel Ogba continues to swap
Speaker 1: balls down at the line of scrimmage. He leads the
Speaker 1: NFL and passes defense among defensive lineman. Got another one
Speaker 1: of those today. I thought, like Xavien Howard was in
Speaker 1: great position a lot of the times almost had a
Speaker 1: pick on one play late in that game, Jerome Baker
Speaker 1: providing pressure from that linebacker position, Andrew Van Gigel off
Speaker 1: the edge. Once again, I thought Zack Seiler was a monster.
Speaker 1: I'll get a better look at the tape and more
Speaker 1: in depth on this on the Tuesday edition of The
Speaker 1: Drive Time. But again, I just really thought the Jets
Speaker 1: did quite well against Miami's attack, and good on them,
Speaker 1: and good on Joe Flacco and also Robert Slow for
Speaker 1: making the decision to go with Flacco because he acknowledged
Speaker 1: it right. He wants the experience against a defense like this,
Speaker 1: and maybe Zach Wilson and Mike White hasn't played enough
Speaker 1: games have that experience to be able to excel against
Speaker 1: a high pressure, high intensity type of defense. And Flacco
Speaker 1: hung in there and took some big shots and got
Speaker 1: the ball to the right spot. So that team played
Speaker 1: I think as bow as well as I could have
Speaker 1: been this game for the Jets and the Dolphins were good.
Speaker 1: We're just better and we're better enough to come out
Speaker 1: with a victory in this game. Takeaway number three Javon
Speaker 1: Holland and Brandon Jones once again, this is gonna be
Speaker 1: a quick takeaway, but just kind of talking about how
Speaker 1: opposing offenses have to account for these two young players
Speaker 1: a second year in the first year safety and Seth
Speaker 1: made this point about that, you know, the point that
Speaker 1: I made earlier in the postgame show about how Flacco's
Speaker 1: experience and the ability to recognize where certain guys are
Speaker 1: on the field. Like we talked about how when you
Speaker 1: game plan for an opponent, you have the little jersey
Speaker 1: to throw over the top of your practice jersey the
Speaker 1: simulate your number on the opposing team for the scout team.
Speaker 1: So like if I'm playing against the Ravens, for instance,
Speaker 1: if I'm going to be Lamar Jackson, i have my
Speaker 1: number eight jersey on. But where are number eight and
Speaker 1: twenty nine when you're practicing against this Dolphins defense and
Speaker 1: your scout team on the other side of the football.
Speaker 1: And that's, you know, kind of the case for the
Speaker 1: whole defense because they were getting after all game long
Speaker 1: and have been for a month plus now, finding a
Speaker 1: way to get after the quarterback and create pressure and
Speaker 1: generate big plays with the pressure you put on them.
Speaker 1: But just with the blitzing and the constant accounting for
Speaker 1: number eight and number twenty nine down around the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, out in coverage, the communication, the ability to
Speaker 1: spin out and do different things. It's been really impressive.
Speaker 1: And for Brandon Jones to basically not basically he did
Speaker 1: with his pressure, his sack, his forced fumble, he took
Speaker 1: points off the board. The Jets are in the red zone.
Speaker 1: There a big strip sack that goes back the Dolphin's way.
Speaker 1: Christian Wilkins a great pin on the helmet to pin
Speaker 1: that thing for a forced or a fumble recovery, I
Speaker 1: should say. And the run after that put the ball
Speaker 1: away big man. He fumbls it back Javon Holland then
Speaker 1: picks it up for another fumble recovery of his own.
Speaker 1: But I thought one of the best plays in terms
Speaker 1: of just takeaway situation or circumstances, just the best peer
Speaker 1: athletic play in the entire game, for my money, was
Speaker 1: the pass breakup on Javon Holland over the top of
Speaker 1: Corey Davis with Jerome Baker underneath and coverage in good shape.
Speaker 1: But it was a great ball right over the top
Speaker 1: and Holland comes in and separates the ball from the
Speaker 1: receiver's hands, and he also finished with a team high
Speaker 1: seven total tackles. So Holland and Jones continue their hot
Speaker 1: streak now heading into the month of December after next
Speaker 1: week after the Panthers game, takeaway number four. Miles Gaskin
Speaker 1: what a game he had in this one, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't pretty as far as the yards per carry average
Speaker 1: just three point nine, but there was a lot of
Speaker 1: big runs and the chunk games I thought were so
Speaker 1: essential to the success of the offense and the team
Speaker 1: in general in this game to generate some explosive plays,
Speaker 1: both from the passing game and the running game. And
Speaker 1: we talked about this in the preview show right how
Speaker 1: the Jets were thirty second explosive pass plays allowed and
Speaker 1: thirty one and explosive run plays allowed. Both elements of
Speaker 1: the Dolphins offense found success in that regard with the
Speaker 1: obviously sixty five yard touchdown pass and a couple of
Speaker 1: the big runs from Miles Gaskin, and also the touchdown
Speaker 1: catch that he made. Just what a tough dude, because
Speaker 1: that's a play where he knew he was gonna get popped,
Speaker 1: but he found the goal line, found the end zone
Speaker 1: for a huge touchdown with just under eleven minutes to
Speaker 1: play in the game, tied at fourteen. All you kicked
Speaker 1: that field goal there, that's a momentum swinger back in
Speaker 1: favor of the Jets. But because he found the goal line,
Speaker 1: found the end zone, Dolphins go up by seven and
Speaker 1: didn't really look back from that point forward in the game.
Speaker 1: So great work for Miles gas him. And here's a
Speaker 1: segment that has kind of gone by the wayside this
Speaker 1: year on the Drivetime podcast that I apologize for. I
Speaker 1: blame largely the seven game losing streak because there wasn't
Speaker 1: many options to look at, but I haven't gone back
Speaker 1: to it, and that's my mistake. But the play before
Speaker 1: the play, and technically this is two plays before the
Speaker 1: play second and fourteen after a penalty for Miami offensively
Speaker 1: pushes them back. It was a one of three offensive
Speaker 1: pass interferences in the game that negates a thirty five
Speaker 1: yard reception from two to Albert Wilson and their second
Speaker 1: and fourteen backed up in the shadow of their own
Speaker 1: goal post, and Miles Gasking rips off a twenty yard
Speaker 1: run with an awesome seal off the edge from Leon
Speaker 1: Eichenberg to get the Dolphins not just in first down territory,
Speaker 1: but to open up the playbook where you're in a
Speaker 1: position where you don't have to kind of play it
Speaker 1: conservative because your second long or third and long up
Speaker 1: against your own goal post. Like if he gains no
Speaker 1: yards third and fourteen, you probably don't even put that
Speaker 1: ball into harm's way and you just run the ball
Speaker 1: and get the heck out of their punted away and
Speaker 1: come back and live to fight another day. But because
Speaker 1: he hit a twenty yard run, he then comes back
Speaker 1: with a nine yard run on the next play and
Speaker 1: second and one, they hit the sixty five yard touchdown
Speaker 1: pass the play before the play, Miles Gaskon hits a
Speaker 1: big one, And actually I just heard the postgame press conferences,
Speaker 1: Mac Hollins mentioned that too, So good on you, Mac,
Speaker 1: for given love to your teammate for making a big
Speaker 1: play to help you go make a big play. Just
Speaker 1: in general kind of tough sledding overall. We mentioned that
Speaker 1: the three point nine yards per carry from Miles Gaskin,
Speaker 1: But I thought he ran hard, I thought he ran decisively,
Speaker 1: and the chunk runs I thought were exactly what this
Speaker 1: offense needed, and it wasn't just miles Duke Duke Johnson
Speaker 1: goes four for eight teen on the ground, Welcome to Miami.
Speaker 1: He also said postgame his three favorite Dolphins growing up,
Speaker 1: Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas, and Ricky Williams, You and me
Speaker 1: both brother. Patrick Laird had a huge reception where he
Speaker 1: breaks two tackles short of the sticks to extend that
Speaker 1: opening drive. That's a that's kind of a four point play.
Speaker 1: We talked about Brandon Jones taking points off the board
Speaker 1: a possible touchdown our field goal. Patrick Laird added four
Speaker 1: points to the scoreboard there with that great effort after
Speaker 1: the catch and then to run out the clock. I
Speaker 1: think it was nine carries for twenty five yards, so
Speaker 1: again not great by the average standards, but that's how
Speaker 1: you milk a clock out with seven minutes to go
Speaker 1: in the game and get your offense in position to
Speaker 1: win the game and get the defense an easier time.
Speaker 1: On the other end, they also sprinkled and a clutch
Speaker 1: clutch seven yard completion and a six yard completion there
Speaker 1: to help move the sticks. That's exactly how you run
Speaker 1: your four minute offense. Take Away number five getting better
Speaker 1: under Brian Flores after Halloween fifteen and six are the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. That's a great record and definitely buys in
Speaker 1: or coincides with the message that we want to get
Speaker 1: better throughout the course of the season. Nine and three
Speaker 1: in the month of November under Brian Flores and seven
Speaker 1: and one in the past two years. So that's the
Speaker 1: fifth takeaway here, getting better as the year goes along.
Speaker 1: The Dolphin's gonna have to continue to put together some
Speaker 1: wins here and it starts next week against the Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers at home. Three straight home games and a bye
Speaker 1: week sandwich in between. There can't wait for that. Personally,
Speaker 1: I'm sure the guys would love to be back in
Speaker 1: South Florida for a solid month here as the holiday
Speaker 1: comes and goes here earlier or late November into early December.
Speaker 1: But those are your five takeaways. Getting better throughout the
Speaker 1: course of the season. Miles Gascon in the running game
Speaker 1: got the job done again with Brandon Jones and Javon Holland,
Speaker 1: the Jets responding well to Miami's pressure looks in the
Speaker 1: zero coverage and then to a tongue of vloa and
Speaker 1: the offense find their footing in the second half, and
Speaker 1: I would be remiss if I didn't mention the completion
Speaker 1: from two up to Waddle on third and eight with
Speaker 1: pretty much you know, there's a minute left in the
Speaker 1: third quarter, the Dolphins are tied up, and they're on
Speaker 1: their own side of the field at the forty three
Speaker 1: yard line, tied up late third quarter. You don't get
Speaker 1: that first down, you don't get to eat up more
Speaker 1: time on the clock, you don't get to obviously go
Speaker 1: score points. You give the ball right back to the
Speaker 1: Jets again, one of these possible momentum swingers. They get
Speaker 1: off the field on third and eight, they probably feel
Speaker 1: good about themselves, give the ball back to the offense.
Speaker 1: Maybe they can produce some more points on that drive,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you're down in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. But for two on that third and eighth throw,
Speaker 1: pressure was actually not in his face so much. It
Speaker 1: looked like it at the end, but in general, the
Speaker 1: past protection was very good. Waddle had a fantastic route
Speaker 1: to kind of turn the defender around, but he eventually
Speaker 1: closed the space because that that window the two I
Speaker 1: had to throw too was was very tight, very thin,
Speaker 1: and he put that thing right on the money and
Speaker 1: seth and o J loved this. In the post game show,
Speaker 1: I talked about the Brian day ball comment from when
Speaker 1: he was the o C back at Alabama with tah
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, some guys can hit the
Speaker 1: barn with the football. Some guys can hit the door
Speaker 1: on the barn. Some guys can even hit the door
Speaker 1: knob on the door of the barn. But some guys
Speaker 1: can hit the keyhole of the door knob of the
Speaker 1: door of the barn. And that guy is too. A
Speaker 1: tongue by Looa. I thought we saw it on that play,
Speaker 1: perfect placement. I had a great vantage point up in
Speaker 1: the press box where it was kind of coming right
Speaker 1: towards me, and I thought there was no way that
Speaker 1: ball is going to be completed. But it was, and
Speaker 1: for Wattle to make the contestant catch and show the
Speaker 1: concentration and the awareness around the sidelines. I love that
Speaker 1: connection those two guys, and I'm looking forward to seeing
Speaker 1: these guys continue to grow and get better and build
Speaker 1: together in this Dolphin's passing attack. All right, those are
Speaker 1: the takeaways. I want to also mention Michael Pollardi had
Speaker 1: a very good game punt in the football I think
Speaker 1: he averaged forty eight yards per punt it was in
Speaker 1: this game. Let's go ahead and check the status real quick,
Speaker 1: just to make sure that that's the accurate as I
Speaker 1: can't find it for forty seven point eight had a
Speaker 1: long of fifty seven and pinned one inside the twenty yardline.
Speaker 1: I thought that was his best game as a Miami Dolphin.
Speaker 1: So and Seth joked about how he's a South Florida
Speaker 1: guy and he knew what he had to bring his
Speaker 1: a game here against the Jets and the met Life takeover.
Speaker 1: So that was pretty funny. But good on your Michael
Speaker 1: Pollardy for boomings some punts in this game. And before
Speaker 1: we get to the postgame segment after the outro here
Speaker 1: from the five six Country postgame show with me, Seth
Speaker 1: and o J, I just want to go ahead and
Speaker 1: mention the MetLife takeover is the ultimate takeaway here because
Speaker 1: if you have not major way up to New York
Speaker 1: slash New Jersey slash wherever the heck we are for
Speaker 1: a MetLife takeover, you gotta do it. There's it's basically
Speaker 1: like a Dolphins church of just insane fans and people
Speaker 1: that love this team in the aquand orange is all
Speaker 1: over the place. I mean, we saw it from the
Speaker 1: moment we got into town that we had this you know,
Speaker 1: collection of us that had a transportation back to the hotel.
Speaker 1: We get here, there's fans waiting outside the front door
Speaker 1: looking for players, looking for anybody they can talk to
Speaker 1: to sign autographs. And Ojan mcduffe became a very popular
Speaker 1: man within about five seconds of entering the hotel, getting
Speaker 1: all kinds of autographs, a bunch of folks that knew
Speaker 1: who we were from the podcast network, giving us some dap,
Speaker 1: giving us some love. We passed out about three thousand
Speaker 1: of these dolphins, uh dolphins today, fish Tank and drive
Speaker 1: time flyers, getting the word out there about the podcast
Speaker 1: and about the shows we have for you guys on
Speaker 1: YouTube and otherwise, and just to be around all the
Speaker 1: folks and all the love. I mean. At Slattery's, the
Speaker 1: raff will give away the menu. Their menu had like
Speaker 1: dolphins theme food like a Ricky Williams veggie burger for instance.
Speaker 1: Was one thing they had thought was incredible. Little dolphins
Speaker 1: museum they have downstairs. As they've got a DJ. They're
Speaker 1: playing music. They're breaking out jets suck Chance every ten minutes.
Speaker 1: It's if your Dolphins fan, you gotta come check it
Speaker 1: out at least one time in your life. And then finally,
Speaker 1: also just the e common nations of I mentioned the
Speaker 1: transportation for the Dolphins to hook us up with that
Speaker 1: that was fantastic. The takeover itself, I mean Igor and Michelle,
Speaker 1: the people that run the Dolphins Takeover or the MetLife
Speaker 1: take Over, the work they put in it's doesn't go unnoticed.
Speaker 1: I if I tried to thank everybody, I would certainly
Speaker 1: forget names, so I apologize for that. But everyone involved
Speaker 1: in putting this thing on, everybody involved with getting us
Speaker 1: up here as a podcast network, we had a fantastic time.
Speaker 1: We all got way tighter as friends and it kind
Speaker 1: of made that bond even tighter. Tons of jokes, poking
Speaker 1: fun at each other, you know, just a fantastic weekend
Speaker 1: up here. And I also want to shout out the
Speaker 1: cooks at the met Life take Over, the guys that
Speaker 1: were running the grille. I didn't see them leave. It
Speaker 1: was basically firing up patties and and hot dogs for
Speaker 1: like three hours straight and those guys didn't leave. So
Speaker 1: that was the hardest job of the day in my opinion,
Speaker 1: and they kept that thing going, and of course it
Speaker 1: concludes with the game. Just amazing, amazing stuff. I'm so
Speaker 1: glad to have met all you that I didn't meet
Speaker 1: out there and to put a bow on this thing.
Speaker 1: I just want to thank everybody for all the kind
Speaker 1: words among all of you that I spoke to, and
Speaker 1: there had to have been literally a hundred people. I mean,
Speaker 1: you want to feel like a Z list celebrity host
Speaker 1: of Dolphins podcast and go to a Dolphins bar in
Speaker 1: New York City, But in a time where I feel
Speaker 1: like the collective, you know, mental well being of society
Speaker 1: is struggling more than it ever has right now, and
Speaker 1: where it's so commonplace to you know, say hurtful things
Speaker 1: people on on social media, maybe even in person if
Speaker 1: you have the stones to do that. The kind words
Speaker 1: that all of you that met us said to us
Speaker 1: and to me, this is me speaking more not for
Speaker 1: Seth Anog, but I know they feel the same way.

Speaker 1: big smile on travis space bag. And it's not just
Speaker 1: because the Golfins won game ball. No fish taking on
Speaker 1: this edition of the Postgame Show. Juice, who's got your
Speaker 1: game ball today? Oh man, you know what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out on a a limb, real quick man,
Speaker 1: and I'm going with a wide owl. Wow, shocker, gotta
Speaker 1: go my man. Jaden waddle Man, Jaden waddle had a big,
Speaker 1: big day to day converting at out of third downs
Speaker 1: man eight grabs, He had nine targets. What do you have? Sixty?
Speaker 1: What we have yards? Sixty five yards and I only
Speaker 1: that many started leak for some guys on his play
Speaker 1: one yard average the getting better, right, there's the three
Speaker 1: or four yards an average for a while eight one right,
Speaker 1: so he moves into third place all time, right, big
Speaker 1: seth rookie receptions. You know he's a seventeen away from
Speaker 1: Darvis and he's also only a couple of hundred two
Speaker 1: and a half fifty sixties, whereas beating Chris Chambers for
Speaker 1: the most yarities in the in a in a rookie
Speaker 1: season as a receiver. But we got a lot of
Speaker 1: problem so what I'm talking about, torment sure, a lot
Speaker 1: of games left to play, two man, So day waddle
Speaker 1: Man's my dude, as Rusal white outs, always getting it
Speaker 1: done and those third down conversion would definitely have your
Speaker 1: heart there. That's kind of what you did for he
Speaker 1: didn't spend I'm gonn getting to start spinning that bag.
Speaker 1: Spinning it appointment man. Also one more note that his
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown today made him only the second rookie receiver
Speaker 1: this year at the rush for a touchdown. Elijah Moore
Speaker 1: for the Jets is the other one, seth who is
Speaker 1: your saw enough of lives more? Well? Look, you know,
Speaker 1: I hope Shawn Wooden is at home listening because he
Speaker 1: doesn't like the offensive bias. He's gonna get a whole
Speaker 1: mouthful of it today and I'm gonna stick with juice
Speaker 1: with the whiteouts. And as I said earlier today, juice
Speaker 1: when in doubt, mack it out, baby. So you know
Speaker 1: when when all when all else failed, the pocket was muddy,
Speaker 1: as Travis likes to say, two and keeps his eyes
Speaker 1: down the field and guess he's running free. Even my
Speaker 1: wife sawge City's open. He's open and there it is
Speaker 1: sixty five yards longest touchdown on to his career. But
Speaker 1: mac collins, you know last year when he caught the
Speaker 1: big play against the Raiders where we almost ripped off
Speaker 1: of Fitzpatrick's face and then he got out there. You
Speaker 1: know this is mc collins special team Jays catches that
Speaker 1: big catch and gets there in front of the press
Speaker 1: and he says, this is what I do, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, really, well, apparently it is because we're
Speaker 1: going sitty five yards mccollins and even when a guy
Speaker 1: could make a play on him, he couldn't make a
Speaker 1: play on him because Mac was beating there. And then
Speaker 1: he had big third down catch later on on they
Speaker 1: drive that we talked about. So only two catches, but
Speaker 1: that's all he needed to get a game ball for
Speaker 1: me today. That's exactly why the two big catches, That's
Speaker 1: that's all it takes. Like you said, Seth, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go to the guy that distributed the football to those guys.
Speaker 1: We're going all offenses, and who else might I go
Speaker 1: to besides tongue of Valo. I think we called you
Speaker 1: a Seth tongue of vileve it earlier, but it might
Speaker 1: be Seth wing of vloa. I don't know. At this point.
Speaker 1: It's definitely trending that direction. But in this game, after
Speaker 1: a bit of a shaky start, like he mentions, they're
Speaker 1: the bad ball to start the game for thirty three
Speaker 1: two and seventy three yards two touchdowns, a pick, eight
Speaker 1: point two yards per passing, eighty one point eight percent
Speaker 1: completion rate that gives him a rating of one oh
Speaker 1: eight point seven on the day. And just the way
Speaker 1: he kind of came back. I thought he looked a
Speaker 1: little bit jittery early on, kind of had some pressure
Speaker 1: that made him off target on a few of those throws.
Speaker 1: But the way he responded, I mean to get out
Speaker 1: of pressure on that sixty five yard passed. I mean
Speaker 1: that to me is what's so important for a young quarterback.
Speaker 1: We talked about the IT factor, right does a quarterback
Speaker 1: have the IT factor? And to me and Juice who
Speaker 1: can correctly my wrong here, but big moments, third down,
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, game on the line, to me, that's what
Speaker 1: proves you have it or you don't have it, and
Speaker 1: then from we can develop the rest. And this guy
Speaker 1: played what fifteen games in his career now to show
Speaker 1: the progression he has, Brian Flores says, he's getting excited,
Speaker 1: he's getting better. Rather every time he steps on the field,
Speaker 1: to look ats the game ball for the in factor
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for his development going forward. A Loha
Speaker 1: Sunday guys, Sunday, Merry Christmas man's love. What do you
Speaker 1: guys think we got a few more minutes here the segments.
Speaker 1: Let's not do let's not do game balls, because if
Speaker 1: we do, you I do want just some honorable mentions
Speaker 1: because some other guys that play well, we didn't talk
Speaker 1: about Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, let's talk about it because like, well,
Speaker 1: I think we can look on the defense side a
Speaker 1: little bit today. You know, we there are a few
Speaker 1: guys that out there were out there and played well.
Speaker 1: I mean they even had another solid game, you know,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of like when you don't see guys
Speaker 1: going at him, you know, it's hard to even talk
Speaker 1: about him anymore. You know in games that he almost
Speaker 1: had a thing of pick today as well. Javan had
Speaker 1: another solid game. You see that coming around. Brandon Jones,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, is having a good game, Byron
Speaker 1: Jones having a great game until the touchdown. You know,
Speaker 1: the more I mean he was, he was in position.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of times you got beat on.
Speaker 1: Now I think we were closer with zero covers, might
Speaker 1: have been a man free got beat inside and then
Speaker 1: of course the foot race from there. But defense plate,
Speaker 1: so I thought David Phillips had a solid game. Other
Speaker 1: than the bonehead play, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a young guy. That's a young guy, you know,
Speaker 1: just getting his getting his feet. Were a little bit
Speaker 1: excited there, but man is he's starting to come along
Speaker 1: and make some plays for us as well. So a
Speaker 1: little bit, yeah, a little bit of love for the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball too, man, because think about
Speaker 1: other than that big play, they really didn't give up
Speaker 1: months to Joe Flacco and the jest today I'll continue
Speaker 1: with there with the young safety tandem, because why wouldn't
Speaker 1: I go back to them. Brandon Jones took points off
Speaker 1: the board. That strip stack on Joe Flacco there in
Speaker 1: phild goal range. That takes the points off the board,
Speaker 1: gives the ball back to the Dolphins offense. Javon Hallend
Speaker 1: had a pass break up on a Corey Davis seemshot
Speaker 1: early in the game. Phenomenal. That was maybe the best
Speaker 1: play just from a pure athletic standpoint of the entire game. Juice. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, there you go. Man, those guys showing up
Speaker 1: every single week now, you know, and like you know,
Speaker 1: we we tried our blitz game or zero blitz game.
Speaker 1: We did some of those things. But Flacco was smart
Speaker 1: enough to get rid of the ball before we got
Speaker 1: level He did it and hang onto it one time
Speaker 1: and get getting leveled. But that was it we had.
Speaker 1: This game plan is gonna work. It's gonna work out
Speaker 1: very well, and there's gonna be other quarterbacks gonna squeeze
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit long. Well you say the
Speaker 1: word game plan. We are seeing that opponents have to
Speaker 1: game plan for these two safeties. They are spending time
Speaker 1: at practice coming up with place substituting their quarterback. They're
Speaker 1: making midweek changes for their starting quarterback because of the
Speaker 1: way these two safeties are playing for the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: That cannot be underlooked. As Dave wants that, that's a
Speaker 1: phenomenal point, Like you got me there, that's a great
Speaker 1: point to talk about impacting the games. That's what it's
Speaker 1: all about, right you say. Because at practice out there,
Speaker 1: they'll get the the little pull over jerseys and they
Speaker 1: have certain numbers on them because you're gonna replicate being
Speaker 1: your Lamar Jackson this week? Right? Where are they? Yea?
Speaker 1: They want to know they're having eighty nine in your
Speaker 1: in your equipment. They're doing a lot of times you
Speaker 1: will see on point to each other, like, all right,
Speaker 1: you got the most is coming to your side. You
Speaker 1: got I'll just stay here and I'll go this side,
Speaker 1: or I'll drop back and you know, you know, cover
Speaker 1: the middle third and you go from that side. Dude.
Speaker 1: They they're interchangeable so nicely. And they both blitz so well.
Speaker 1: They blit so well. Man, they get there, you know,
Speaker 1: they get there. If they don't get there, they're gonna
Speaker 1: get to hit him the quarterback. You know, legal hits
Speaker 1: on quarterbacks. Man, And you start hitting those guys, man,
Speaker 1: they start to feeling man. Old addicts, Man, it's cliche.
Speaker 1: You hit the you hit the quarterback, and the whole
Speaker 1: team feels it. Man. And we're starting to starting to
Speaker 1: get there, man, starting to get there, and guys are
Speaker 1: starting to make some plays. And man, it's been fun
Speaker 1: to watch those guys in the secondary. You'd love to
Speaker 1: hear that. Also, you don't close out a game with
Speaker 1: those two long drives without some semblance of a running game.
Speaker 1: And the average wasn't great today, but they did hit
Speaker 1: the big plays and they had to have them. So
Speaker 1: Miles Gaskon first off, three rushes eighty nine yards, just
Speaker 1: three point nine yards per carry, but again that twenty
Speaker 1: yard rush on second and fourteen right before the Mac
Speaker 1: Collins play. That's a massive play in this game. Just
Speaker 1: one for seven receiving, but again a huge touchdown. So
Speaker 1: he had a couple of really big plays in this game.
Speaker 1: How about Duke Johnson for the Canes fans out there,
Speaker 1: four for eighteen gets a call up to the active roster,
Speaker 1: makes his Dolphins debut here. And then Patrick Lair, guys,
Speaker 1: I know you guys love that catch down on the
Speaker 1: goal line. He broke two tackles where he had no
Speaker 1: he had no chance at a first down, and he
Speaker 1: breaks the para tackles for a big play to get
Speaker 1: a first down right before the wild touchdown. So those
Speaker 1: are a couple more of mind the running game. Just
Speaker 1: gott thinks cranking today a little bit better than usual.
Speaker 1: Like to see that. Anything else you guys want to
Speaker 1: talk about there? I think that's enough honorable mentioned game
Speaker 1: balls to give out. Everybody can't get a game ball, Canyon, yea,
Speaker 1: not at this level. Maybe the Kobe Beef meatball gets
Speaker 1: a game ball too. From Saturday Night, I don't know.
