WEBVTT - Week 17 Film Room, Dolphins Patriots -- Tape, Contextualized Stats, Snap Counts and McDaniel Commentary 0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:03.720 Hey guys. Before we begin today's podcast, I wanted to 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.440 start with something important, more important than football, and that's 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:09.880 the health and status of Bills safety to Mar Hamlin. 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:12.639 If you didn't see, Hamlin made a tackle on Monday 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:16.400 Night football and collapsed on the field before paramedics quickly 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:20.239 arrived to attend to him. The Bills announced that Hamlin, 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.640 a second year safety out of pit, suffered cardiac arrest 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.840 on the field. CPR was administered and he was transported 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:28.960 to a local hospital, and luckily it was a Level 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.279 one trauma center in Cincinnati. And if I can leave 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.360 a message here, it's to always remember that under each 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.760 and every one of those helmets is a human being, 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:44.440 a son, a father, a brother. It's wild how important 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:49.480 football is until it isn't. Watching those scenes play out 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.559 with something none of us have ever seen during a 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.640 football game. But I do think you saw the ultimate 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.480 triumph of the human spirit. As several million dollars three 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.320 and a half as of this tape was raised for 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:06.320 his charity, the Chasing Ems Foundation Community toy Drive. An 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.320 entire country is with this young man. Our thoughts remain 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.399 with the Mar Hamlin. Let's go ahead and start the show. 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.400 You're listening to the Miami Dolphins podcast Network. This is 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.560 Drive Time with Travis Winfield. Back to throw to a 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:30.920 looking touchtop ton Rick call waddle, waddle to a shotgun, 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:36.400 back to throw looking steps up fires, It's waddle, It's 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:43.960 six touchdown. Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. Now let 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.640 me check your pulse if what is up? Dolphins? And 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.520 welcome to the Drive Time podcast, part of the Miami 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:56.240 Dolphins podcast network covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.000 it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Winfield. And 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.760 on today's show, all review coming your way. We'll take 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.320 a look at the tape, the stats, the snap counts, 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.960 and here from head coach Mike McDaniel and his Monday 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.880 afternoon press conference. All of that and more from the 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.280 Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:20.480 is the Drive Time. Let's kick this thing off with 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.000 the offensive notes right off the top, and we usually 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.040 start the quarterback position, so we'll go ahead and do 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.320 that once again here with Teddy Bridgewater. And there was 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.160 some good, some bad, and a lot of stuff that 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.040 makes me continue to appreciate QB one every time we 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.000 have a chance to watch a tape. It's not him 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.320 out there, and a lot of that is timing, timing 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.000 and ball placement. There was a completion in the first 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.680 drive of the game that led to a big hit 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.760 because the ball was out a little bit late. On 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.920 the second drive, you got Tyreek Hill screaming across the 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.320 field on a deep over route free access to the 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.800 middle of the field safety and Jawan Bentley, the middle linebacker, 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.840 is getting depth into the hook and Tyreek breaks his 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.640 route off at the forty three yard line, and Bentley 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.320 bites up on Wattle on a high low type of look, 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.160 and he took the cheese on the on the low 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.120 at the thirty seven yard line, and we opt not 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:09.640 to throw the ball. These are the kind of throws 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.800 that to have made regularly and their high degree of difficulty. 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.440 Don't get me wrong, but these are the kind of 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.840 throws we would routinely hit over the course of the 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.040 winning streak, even some of those games and the losing 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.960 streak that produced a top two offense in yards per play. 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.440 We also saw some plays in this game on Sunday 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.720 dropping the eyes against the rush. There was a play 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.560 where Jeff Wilson's leaking out for an easy first down 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.920 catch and run on the third and seven before the fake, 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.840 but the quarterback takes off slide up, dump it off. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.480 That's the move if your eyes are up. But if 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.560 your eyes are down, you can't see that. That throw 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.720 to Tyreek that didn't count on the first drive was 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:48.720 an absolute dime, an absolute perfectly thrown ball, really good 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.760 coverage and on a wheel route, i should say, from 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.640 a bunch at the formation at the Alliance scrimmage. In 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.240 the formation, three receivers stacked up together in which Teddy 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.240 has all data throw, but Jonathan Jones doesn't take the 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.720 cheese on the out and he gets vertical. Now Tyreek 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.200 is still behind him because well, nobody in the league 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.160 can run with that guy. But he's made the window 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.320 as small as he can. And so Teddy who throws 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.920 it early. When Tyrek is even with him at the 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.000 forty eight yard line of the Patriots, far hash from 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.840 his own thirty five, so almost twenty yards away. He 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.920 layers a nice little touch throw out to the Patriots 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.359 thirty yard line, right on the hash mark on the perimeter, 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.479 a great reaching gap grab in full extension from Tyreeke 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.680 and there's a still shot where the ball is in 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.920 his hands and the right foot is still touching the 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.800 earth surface. Could they overturn that with the assumption that 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.400 he had control. Who knows, but man, that was a 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.320 close want to know. A great throw from Teddy and 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.560 a great catch from Tyreeke. I feel like we say 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.080 it every week, and a big part of it is 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.120 correct rble, correctable procedural stuff, right, But my god, how 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.960 how lucky unlucky do we have to be on stuff 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.040 like this? We wind up punting from our own side 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.800 of the field opposed to first and ten of the 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.880 New England at the at the New England twenty eight 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.000 yard line. That's points like east will maybe if you 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.880 make the field goal. But a great throw and a 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:04.680 great catch and it just doesn't go your way because 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.520 a split second decision that goes in the favor of 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.520 the home team. I think there's something to be learned 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.039 off this tape for whichever quarterback plays in this system, 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.960 and that's the benefit of having explosive backs running into 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:19.080 space created by the attention that has other team paying 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.279 so much regard to the perimeter eligibles. I'm talking about 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.520 tenants seventeen. Of course, that first down on third and 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.520 six to Raheem on the opening touchdown drive that I 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.039 think it was the second or third drive of the game. 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.799 You get seven man coverage and they bracket both Cheetah 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.720 and Waddle, and that puts the hook backer in a 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.119 conflict where he has to say, am I gonna buzz 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.520 the curl and take away the quick throw to Cheetah 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.240 or do I stay right here and do it for 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.880 he most or who hooks up on the middle part 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.240 of the field. He gets caught in between. The throw 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.080 goes to Raheem short of the sticks, but plenty of 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.640 room to run because of that conflict linebacker, and he 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.960 gobbles up nine more yards after the catch. If you 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.640 can mix in those type of plays like timely check 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.080 downs when they really back off their epe man have 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.599 a man coverages with the explosives man watch out. Now 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.279 that said, there are points where we're checking the ball 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.080 down because the ball is not getting ripped on those 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.920 anticipation throws to the intermediate portion of the field. We've 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.080 seen too and make those all year long. So it 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.760 is give and take, and I would prefer the aggressive 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.360 attacking mentality. But the reason he's able to get to 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.040 some of those checkdowns Teddy is because the pass pros 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.000 holding up and then we're just opting to not throw 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:26.440 the ball to the middle of the field. We'll tell 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.120 you about time to throw here in a little bit. 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.400 But Teddy doesn't play the game anywhere near the same 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.080 pace as one and it shows on this tape, and 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.520 that's the case for all the quarterbacks besides two we've 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.640 seen this year. That drive in general, the touchdown drive, 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.520 inspired a lot of confidence in the offense's ability to 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.160 get this done. Because Teddy fired a really good ball 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.000 and a deep comeback to Tyreek against the blitz. Miami 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.400 kept in seven and protection and got Teddy a great 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.640 pocket against a five man rush I think it was 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.720 actually a six man rush, and he threw it before 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.880 Tyreek's out of the break right on target gain of nineteen. 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.000 And Tyreek is an absurd route runner. Man just goes 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.640 from full speed on the vertical to breaking down and 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.080 snapping the route off all like inside of a second. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.360 It's amazing suddenness. And then I thought Teddy's best throw 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.680 of the day was the shot to the to Mike 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.160 Gasicki into the red zone. Mike is running an out 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.000 route right at the hash to the field, the wide 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.960 side of the field, and Teddy is throwing the ball 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.600 to space based upon the leverage very to a like right. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.800 That's what he does. And you see on this play 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.280 like it looks like quarters to me, I'm not entirely 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.880 sure if it is, but you have four defenders hanging 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.160 off ten yards off the line kind of protecting the 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.280 end zone there, which that's usually quarters, and Tyreek takes 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.679 the wide corner to the end zone with a wicked 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.200 double move and that displaces the one corner of that 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.720 side of the field, and then underneath to the field, 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.440 you create the under part of that pocket because of 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.720 a flat route with the defender squatting, and that creates 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.960 that pocket from Mike Gasicki to run away from an 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.400 inside leverage linebacker and Teddy throws it with some sauce 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.480 right over that linebacker's fingers for a big completion because 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.560 of a well timed, accurate ball. So there are some 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.600 examples of it on the tape, it's just not as 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.920 frequent as it is with QB one. And that's that's 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.720 what you expect. Going from you know, top of the 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.360 depth chart to the next guy in line. I thought 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.600 the first like, they're not the first real miss, but 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.120 a really bad miss that really costs the Dolphins in 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.280 this game was a third and seven before the missfield 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.600 goals the field goal. Wattle comes open on a speed 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.320 out and the ball is just way too far inside. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.120 It's pitch and catch like it is a routine on 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.840 air type of throw. Wattle gets plenty of separation, balls 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.720 way off the inside. I mean, that's the throw you 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.640 gotta make. And it kept going from there. That third 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.160 and nine that Sherfield caught out of bounds, just a 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.040 bad ball. It was high and it carried him out 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.000 of bounds. He was open for a first down, and 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.040 we're missing those types of throws to stay on the field, 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.800 which reduces the plays you run on defense, increases the 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.320 players you run on offense, increases time in possession, and 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.000 obviously can lead to more points. Just all the credit 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.920 in the world though for that flip off script touchdown 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.200 that he made to Raheem Moster, that's a great play. 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.199 Unfortunately though, that's where things went back the other direction. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.160 First down coverage and pressure equals and in completion, second 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.400 down run stuff fall start all of a sudden third 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.800 and fifteen with a four point lead. We gotta play 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.440 some aren't here. I got to know what we're capable 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.559 of because it's still even in the turnover department. And 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.360 if you win this, if you win the turnover battle 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.199 this game, or even tie, I think you win this game. 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:10.920 Obviously you lost by two points and you were down 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.200 to nothing in that category. You needed that, you know 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.199 you needed to win that. And it's third and fifteen 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.240 and the throw is late into a tight window. I mean, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.160 what does that result in? Kyle Dougger three times this 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:22.960 year he stepped in front of passes for pick six 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.120 is he takes it away? And the worst part was 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.400 the window was actually there. And we've seen the offense 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.319 convert third and longs at the best rate in the 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.720 NFL this year, right, and why because we anticipate windows 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.720 opening up as well as anybody else in football. But 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.680 here Sherfield is already coming off the stem breaking in. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.760 When Teddy goes to throw, that ball has to be 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:44.800 out before he even clears that first linebacker, that first defender, Timing, timing, timing, 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.200 it's everything, and it cost us not just a first 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.160 down let's play, but seven points going back the other direction. 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.920 It's a killer enter Skyler Thompson. I think the best 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.480 way to describe his game is the way he did. 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.040 He said he felt like he settled into a rhythm 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.520 at a certain point. I thought it was very shaky 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.360 early in hims of timing and field. There was just 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.120 no rhythm going at that point. But once the Dolphins 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.599 got late or got behind, Layton started driving. At that 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.120 touchdown drive, he made some nice plays, you know, to 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.000 to kind of get back into rhythm against what was 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.720 more often soft coverage. And uh, we'll need that. We'll 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.439 need that same type of energy going into next week 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.960 if he is in fact the quarterback but skittish early 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:22.120 holding the football, not replacing you know, uh, not not 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.360 looking guys off and replacing the ball with guys that 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.280 have moved off of the manipulation that throw to sherfield 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.600 on his first series that was dropped off the chest, 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.960 Wattle was open to the flag behind that little kind 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.360 of you know, the hitch route that kind of acts 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.200 as a smash partition smash portion of that concept. He 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.319 could have manipulated that flat corner or that cloud corner 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.120 and pulled him to the flat and throwing over the 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.720 top to waddle just didn't manipulate at all. And that's okay, 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:47.480 like that's expected. But these are the things you miss 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.680 when you don't have your quarterback one out there. It's 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.840 a major bumber. The scramble got called back because that 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.520 was a great bit of playmaking for a rookie. And 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.120 that's what he brings you. Right when the pocket is 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.240 compromised in two spots, he still got out. It's what 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.240 he brings you. But on balance, I mean, that's how 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.559 you expect, you know, player coming off the bench, seventh 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.160 round rookie to look, it's just not going to be 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.520 as polished as your former number five pick and a 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.760 guy that's played a lot of reps within this offense 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.280 and in this league and in this sport. So we 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.760 go to Tyreek Hill. We talked about his route running. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.680 The ability to erase angles is just freaking awesome. Miles 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.880 Bryant had him dead to write on that touchdown catch, 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.400 but he just outran him. And Surefield has a full 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.679 season of great blocks, but this one might be his best. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.120 He catches the furthest man outside, but then realizes Briant 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.120 has an inside track to shoot up field and get 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.920 Tyreek and take a chance that you can out angle him, 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.720 which was a bad choice. But Trent gets a little 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.240 chip on the shoulder pad of Brian and that gives 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.600 Tyreek just the fraction of a second he needs to 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.079 ensure that he beat him to the pylon. Great stuff 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.280 there from those two guys. I'm curious what happened on 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.880 the deep shot that mccordy dropped, because Tyreek is running 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.679 past the corner and throws the mailbox up and he's 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.319 open and Teddy UNCORKSI but Tyreek stops. Now the throw 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.880 was way too far inside because he actually had the 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.959 pylon to Tyreek for potential touchdown, but Tyreek stopped. Throw 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.120 was inside and then Accordy dropped the pick. Just some 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.160 ugly football all the way around there. Waddle is also 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.800 just a great route runner man. The big catching run 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.520 he had in the touchdown drive, you see mccordy widen 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.400 towards the pylon because Jalen runs that route like a 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.520 slot fade. We've seen him run that route for success 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.439 this year a couple of times. And then the minute 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.319 mccordy gets with Jalen stabs that right foot into the 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.760 ground and breaks it back across the inside. The ball 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.520 is perfect, and that was the moment the offense to me, 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.920 looked the most like we've been used to seeing earlier 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.960 in the year when they were rolling that you know, 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.440 catch it and stride, keep rolling, big run after the catch, 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.240 a nice play. His catch waddles on third and seven 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.400 with the game still within two like in the fourth quarter, 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.240 was just another example of how well rounded his game is. 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.120 Tough catch, big spots, stationary possession type of route and 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.760 you see him hanging out in that pocket because the 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.280 ball was late, um, but to be able to stay 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.560 there and and survive a hit and elevate and make 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.800 the play. I love his game. Man. Trent Sheriffeld also 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.760 had a great edge seal and a nice raheem run 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.760 to the perimeter the very next snap after the touchdown 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.079 that he or the play that he's he blocked for 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.360 Tyreek on a touchdown. Just had a really good job 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.280 in the in the running game for Trent Schriffl. Once again, 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.120 speaking of blocking, there was some cool protection schemes dial 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:10.240 up and I thought it was kind of a way 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.800 to mask the fact you didn't have to Ron Armstead 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.480 like one player they pulled Liam to right tackle to 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.360 double Lawrence guy off that edge. You slide Connor, you 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.600 slide Rob to fill the three tech and the nose 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.360 tackle to the exact same thing, but flipped it on 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.600 the second and seven on the following drive, the touchdown 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.520 drive where this time Rob pulls to help a slanted 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:32.160 defensive line where the Patriots called on a backside one technique, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.440 front side three technique, and a six technique with Jude 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:36.959 on to the wide nine all the way to the 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:38.920 other side. You have this big gap off the right side, 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.480 and they're overloading the pressure off the one side, so 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:46.520 they they they widen Jude's rush with misdirection and motion 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.000 in that way they kind of forces him to go 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.360 the long way around. Then you pull Rob off that 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.160 week side where he just has to run you know, 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.960 a lot of room because the way you called that motion. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.080 So you get robbed to help on the heavy side. 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.200 Just a big fan of the creativity and pass pro 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.679 when you're down some dudes, most notably you know to 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.679 Ron Armstead, and then there's good rotation on that Teddy 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.480 scramble on the right before the fourth and one conversion 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.240 where the Patriots went with the same exact look. You know, 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.400 I don't know the name of that front is, I 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.439 gotta find it. Basically overload three Judean why technique to 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.360 the weak side. Then they looped from the nose backer, 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.160 this time around the edge, but Liam slides to run 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.520 him around the ark, while Kendall Lamb took his man 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.520 out of the place, slanting inside. And then you get 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.960 Connor and Big Rob doubling Lawrence Guy in the middle. 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.440 Then finally a conversion when I checked down past to 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:32.000 Raheem Mostert, same look with this time, rather than looping around, 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.440 just tries to split the backside a gap, but Big 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.800 Rob just puts him on the turf. Also, in these 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.200 situations where it's kind of like a three car pile 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.600 up or six car if you count both offense and defense, 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.840 like Connor Williams balance always stands out. If he goes down, 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.080 it would create a potential gap for them to run through, 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.920 but he's literally absorbing contact and getting bounced around there 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.640 but staying on his feet despite like Rob hunting Josh 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.360 j both falling into him. It's impressive to watch. To me, 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.400 this is about the scheme. It's where there's when there's 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.600 balance on the offense and the running game passing game. 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.320 They can create these advantageous pass pro situations. Then on 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.920 obvious passed downs I think two masks a lot of that. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.080 But then also in those situations you get some you know, 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.560 gas from the positions you've had issues within the past, 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.360 and you know what those are. So uh, scheme quarterback. 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.000 I made a big difference. You've been better a couple 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.960 of positions, but still some of the shortcomings occur obvious 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.520 passing situations from some of the usual suspects. Another point 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.320 of just general offense. I just love the spacing they create, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.760 and part of that is certainly the speed of tenants seventeen, 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.440 but the design too, that little swing route to Raheem 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.120 where he caught and ran for nine yards in the 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.560 second quarter. Teddy throws the ball and you've got Tyreek 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.840 at the forty at the numbers on one side of 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.120 the field, the balls at the twenty four yard line, 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.120 so sixteen yards downfield. You've got Wattle on the forty 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.000 on the other number on the other side of the field. 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.480 Just hit my elbow. Ouch. You've got Dirham Smith at 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.720 the in the flat Raheem at the fifteen on the 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.320 same side, and then Hunter Long runs a shallow cross 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.160 to the other side of the field at the twenty 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.120 five yard line. You wind up with three Patriots on 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.360 this play covering grass space. Has been impressive all year 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.600 and a major upgrade from what we saw a year ago. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:08.800 Without question in that department, the design of the Wilson 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.480 end around toss was incredible. Surefield motions across the play 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.160 side and bluffs like he's gonna run split flow back 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.280 across the formation, and they also pulled Rob Hunt from 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.000 that side to the backside, and you see the entire 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.120 Patriot second level stay in tight because the fake that 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.120 they give to most with all that action, it screams 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.680 inside run like a counter run. Then you hit the 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.360 opposite of the counter with Cedric Wilson a good seal 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.520 play side on the perimeter and Jeff Wilson gets a 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.560 head of steam with Surefield leading him up. It's a 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:38.600 nine yard first down run on the red zone. Those 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.200 are huge, uh. I just put a note here about 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.440 different tight ends losing at the point of attacks myth 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.560 Hunter Long and I just wrote the tight end position 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.960 was rough. Again to me, it's been comparable to the 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.160 cornerback spot and think about the health of those two 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.680 rooms this season and how that kind of sounds. Connor Williams, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.680 I thought, had his another not one of his best games, 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.280 like last week, he missed a second level seal and 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:00.840 then Liam fall off a block at the point of 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.160 attack on a pole, and that would have been a 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.639 bigger game had they made those blocks, had the correct 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.080 leverage and benefit of hitting on the move, and bar 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.440 More just spins off and comes off that block. These 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.000 last two games have just been like his poorest, but 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.080 they're not like, they're not terrible. They're certainly much worse 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.720 games across the offensive line over the year, and he 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.320 just got noticeable losses on these tapes that he wasn't 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.400 having earlier in the year. The first sack, the one 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.160 that really ended that dry before halftime was him getting 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.120 beat on a pretty wicked rip and swim by Carl 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.120 by Carl Davis um Liam Whift multiple times in this game. 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.520 I thought Kendall lamb uh. He lost a key point 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.400 of attack block on Raheem's non fumble rep that didn't 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.119 go for a fumble. Had a huge hole if Kendall 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.240 land hits that block. But However, he was outstanding in 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.280 pass pro manu o j kept trying to convert speed 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.000 to power on him and it just wasn't working for him. 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.520 Like he would kind of get that wide stance, that 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.959 rush up field and try to basically take all that 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.560 power or that speed into the power up into the chest. 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:59.840 But Land would get the punch into his chest on 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.000
