And 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:04.840 you guys know what time. 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:09.720 It is when win? 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.880 When winn Dolphins? 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:14.640 I have a chance to make it eight and three 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.040 with two wins and five days with a victory on Friday, 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.160 But we're not gonna get to that. We're gonna talk 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.840 about Dolphins twenty thirteen over Las Vegas. The game script, 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.120 the play before the play, of the stats, the takeaways. 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.560 We'll hear from McDaniel, Tua, Chubb, Ramsey, and Phillips all 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.280 on the mic from the Baptist Health Studios inside the 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:33.759 Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:38.880 This is the Drive Time podcast. That's another Miami. 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:43.800 Dolphins and it was twenty one more first downs for 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.600 the Miami Dolphins day. They out first down the Raiders 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.520 twenty one to twelve. Both team's not very successful on 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.480 third down, Miami just three for eleven, the Raiders four 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.520 for fourteen. Raiders were also oh for two on fourth 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.280 Miami oh for one on theirs a turnover on downs 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.520 inside the five yard line. Tough pill to swallow down there, 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.840 but four hundred and twenty two yards of offense to 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.120 two ninety six. The Dolphins ran the ball for almost 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.880 three times as many yards as the Raiders, ninety nine 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.639 to thirty six. And the Dolphins also ran nine more 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.040 plays in Las Vegas. So fifty nine plays for your 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.440 defense on a short week is always nice to have. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.920 That both teams turn the ball over three times. Bit 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.360 of a sloppy game the Dolphins took one sack and 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.200 got Aiden O'Connor to the turf two times, both by 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.680 Jalen Phillips. Both teams had five penalties forty four yards 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.079 for Miami forty one for the Raiders, and the Dolphins 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.520 had the football for thirty two minutes and fifteen seconds 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.600 in this game, and it started off not great. The 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.399 Dolphins defense got a stop right away a first down 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:42.880 on the opening play that I thought was a good 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.160 job by the Raiders of kind of playing into their 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.240 tendency breakers. You know, Antonio Pierce has come out and 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.240 told you that they want to run the football and 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.440 be physical and be that team. And all they do 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.200 is pull the ball out on the first play and 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:55.919 run a little play action boot and get a wide 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.480 open tight end on an under route for seventeen yards. 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.160 But then it was back to what we expected for 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.440 the Dolphins defense with some stops. David Long anticipates a 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.600 screen and helps get a tackle with Raykwon Davis on 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.160 a tackle for loss, and then Andrew van Ginkel is 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:13.120 in great position for a coverage play on Michael Mayer 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.040 and punches the football out and Javon Holland scoops it 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.480 up and it looks like a defensive touchdown to get 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.000 things going, and you're thinking, yeah, fifty burger today, but 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.600 they overturned it. Ball was never quite secure or caught, 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.960 so it goes right back to the Dolphins offense and 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.440 they move the sticks on their first three plays their 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.480 opening series. But Tua gets hit as he's going to 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.440 the turf head first after picking up the first down 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.000 yards with his legs, and the ball just does come 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.280 out before he gets that knee down to the ground. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.840 So the Dolphins turned the ball back over to the Raiders, 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.680 who then kick a field goal. And that was the 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.960 story of the day for the Dolphins defense, defending short 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.480 fields and keeping the Raiders out of the end zone 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.400 except for one big play down the field to Devonte Adams. 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.240 But you saw more of what I've been talking about 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.600 from this defense right away in this game. Chob Bradley 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.760 Chubb had back to back run stop. Zach Steeler consistently 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.960 reset in the line of scrimmage by getting that knock 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.680 back and push, and they did convert a long third 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.440 and seven where it looked like maybe there was not 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.440 a coverage bus but somebody got turned free on what 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.360 looked like a banjo where you have, you know, some 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.280 one guy takes inside, one guy takes outside, and Mayer's 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.960 able to get yardage to put themselves in position to 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.839 continue to drive. But then they had offensive pass interference. 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.320 You get an awesome play from Cater Kohu to make 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.960 a tackle after a short game to get the Dolphins 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.160 or the Raiders offense off the field to just kick 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.760 a field goal after getting the football at the plus 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.280 thirty two yard Lindes, that's pretty important to get that. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.760 And then it goes right back to what you expect 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.480 from this Miami Dolphins offense. A critical defensive holding call 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.960 on Jalen Waddell, who gave the cornerback all he could 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.240 handle on a little double move that extends the drive 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.920 on third and eleven. And then I liked how Miami 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:50.760 was able to get back to what has been their 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.760 bread and butter since McDaniel's arrival, right that fifteen to 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.799 twenty yard and sometimes it's eighteen yard. In that range 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.200 of fifteen to twenty incuts like the deep dig, the 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.680 route that they utilize, the space they create in the 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.040 running game to capitalize with and put those hook linebackers 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.800 and ultimate conflict. They get one to Tyreek for I 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.800 think it was like nineteen yards and then the very 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:14.760 next play is a thirty eight yard touchdown. On that 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.000 exact play and the balls right there, Tyreek goes up 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.919 and gets it runs when he hit the turf like 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.479 the way he took off. I've said this on the 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.560 podcast before. You know those car those toy cars you 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.240 have when you're a kid, that you pull back and 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.080 that creates the wind up and then you let him go. 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.800 He is like already wound up when he hits the 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.279 ground on this play. In any play that he goes 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.599 in the air for the football, it's just fun to watch. 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.839 And the frequency of hitting that play this season to 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.839 come back to after the bye week, what a great sign. 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.559 That was seven three Dolphins late in the first quarter. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.360 But then Vegas answers back and this was a play 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.640 I did not expect to happen in this game. It 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.600 looked to me like quarters coverage where you have four 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.440 defenders kind of birds on a fence, basically defending the 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.920 deep shell of the field. And what I thought I 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.000 saw it we'll find out about this layer in the leak. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.440 What I thought I saw was they tried to kind 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.400 of buzz a route in the short part of the 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:10.000 field and that got the attention of both Holland and 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.920 Deshaun Elliott, and then DeVante Adams, one of the best 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.920 in the league, got behind him and a great throw 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.960 from Maiden O'Connell, long raider touchdown. You're thinking, is this 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.240 gonna be a shootout now? But it was not, because 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.480 the Dolphins get the football back and they do turn 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.120 it over on downs after a long drive. But you 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.520 could see the Dolphins offense continuing to put up yardage 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.000 and get first downs. 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:29.360 And move the check. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.200 This offense, even on its not best day, which we'll 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.320 hear from McDaniel on this in a moment, even on 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.920 not their best day, still posts four hundred and twenty 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.960 yards offense like that is pretty impressive when you're having 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:42.839 a bad day and that's what your output there. So 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.520 it was more of the same. Tyreek had a crazy 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.360 catch in a triangle of contested coverage where he caught 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.720 the ball, spun out and went for more yards after the. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:51.440 Fact in Tua. 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.680 With the confidence to put that football on Tyreek just 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.719 very very impressive. The Dolphins got down into scoring range 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.120 third and five, at the seven yard line, had a 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:02.920 false start that backed him up, and then they threw 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.440 a short route to Savon Ahmed that I thought was 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.760 really good effort by Savon to kind of push the 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.920 pile for extra yardage and it puts them in a 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.600 fourth and one situation. And that's a no brainer for 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.960 me for this head coach this team, like every time 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.120 they get in that situation, they're going to try to 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.800 go score seven points. I tip my cap to the 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.800 idea of the play, but the it was a two 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.040 on two screen essentially, when they threw the ball out 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.800 wide to Tyreek Hill and River Craycraft kind of had 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.000 to make sure two guys couldn't get to him, and 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.440 they both triggered on Tyreek and flew Downhill and the 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.480 one guy got him to the turf for a turnover 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.240 on down. So tough look, tough call there in terms of, 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.280 you know, not getting the right look for what your 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.840 offensive play was and they turn it over on downs. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.640 Then the Raiders take back over and you're thinking, just 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.200 get a quick three and out here, get the ball 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.040 back and plus territory and go score some more points. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.920 But that's exactly what happened. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.040 The Raiders go three and out after a tackle for 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.480 loss by cater Coo who just quit throwing screens to 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:56.840 that guy. 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:58.200 I saw two of them in this game. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.840 And his run support off the perimeter, his screen game 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.680 off the perimeter, just fantastic. Chubb got a pressure that 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.080 forced an incomplete on the third down and that was 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.400 all she wrote for that drive, and then Tyreek Hill 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.400 had to exit the game. Now you're thinking yourself, well, shoot, 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.800 there goes a potential two thousand yard receiver into the 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.640 locker room. He misses the entire drive. And what does 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.360 Tua do besides wattle for nine raheem for a first down, 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.360 run for four yards, wattle for twelve, wattle for fifteen. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.400 So wattle, wattle, waddle for thirty six yards on four plays. 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.840 Then Robbie Chosen gets called back into the fray, and 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.840 good for him for keeping his head in a good 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.480 headspace to go make a play when you were released 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.800 and then added to the practice squad then elevated tough 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.240 week for Robbie in that sense. But he gets himself 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.200 in the right headspace and I'm sure the Dolphins communicating 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:41.920 with him like, hey, here's the plan to get you 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.400 back here and all that stuff, but still it's a 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.280 long road to get there. Right, He makes a big 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.480 play and then Raheem gets a first down and then 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.800 we get the third and down. It's pretty much the 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.920 same call to Savon nakbad. This time the Raiders blitz 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.040 the crap out of it. Great call at a great 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.280 time in low red zone, and that's how you put 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.880 points on the board. A little Texas route behind the rush, 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.240 you get some offensive line out in front. Great work 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.200 by Liam and Connor and Lester Cotton to get out 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.040 in front to lead Savon in for a walk in 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.520 touchdown there on that play. So the Dolphins take a 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.360 fourteen to ten lead, a lead they would never relinquish. 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:13.760 Dolphins get a quick. 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:14.960 Three and out and you're thinking to yourself here with 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.080 two twenty eight to play, maybe we'll get the football 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.800 back and go put the ball in the endzo for 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.640 some more points. And that's kind of what was happening. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.520 Two timeouts, one o nine to play, ball to the 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.360 minus twelve. You get a great raheemost At run, running 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.320 through tackles, getting to the perimeter to get out of 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.920 balance to save time off the clock. Then Julian Hill 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.840 makes it catch it a nice move up field, and 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.360 I was thinking to myself in the moment, that's a 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.080 pretty athletic move to catch it, spin, get vertical, and 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.720 get extra yards. But they punch it out take over 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.280 at the plus three two yard line, and then the 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.080 Raiders kind of settle for a field goal there, which 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.360 I don't understand why you would do that against this team, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.360 but that's what they did. They ran the football and 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.000 milked off forty seconds off the clock and kicked the 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.280 field goal there at the end to make it fourteen 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.040 to thirteen. Then the Dolphins get the football back and again, 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.360 to tell you what you're thinking here right, you're thinking 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.320 to yourself, they're gonna go score a touchdown, They're gonna 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.000 get the ball back, they're gonna scoregain, They're gonna put 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.559 game where it belongs on ice. But it didn't happen 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.520 that way. And this was the rarest of misses I 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.000 thought for Tua that I've seen from him, where they 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.080 had that Tyreek and Waddle run that two man route 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.680 combination with the vertical. It takes the defense, you know, 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.200 takes the roof off the defense, and then Waddle runs 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.440 that deep over out to take advantage of that space, 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.480 and he was wide open and he was running kind 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:26.320 of horizontally and Tua throws it vertically and he misses 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.679 and it gets picked off, and that's just something you 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:29.880 want to see in that spot. Would have been a 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.360 big game, but a rare miss, but a miss. Nonetheless, 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.800 the Raiders get the football back and they go right 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.880 back to three and out thanks to a Christian Wilkins 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.880 third and one run stuff where he just stifled his man, 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.280 no gain, massive win, put him on the ground, get 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.440 a stop, get the football back, and then the Dolphins 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.320 get a field goal or I'd rather a missed field 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.360 goal on the next drive where they got the ball 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.000 again to Tyreek Hill down the field, and then Tua 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.040 had a just another one of these rare misses where 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.280 I thought he had a chance to make an improvise play, 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.400 a scramble play where he got pushed off of his 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.400 spot and he threw to Cedric Wilson to the perimeter 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.400 and it was just high and outside, and you saw 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.320 him on like after he went to the ground because 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.200 he got tackled and he kind of like clapped his 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.160 hands in frustration, like you knew that he felt he 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:08.960 missed that one. 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:10.559 He doesn't usually miss those throws. 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.800 We missed the fifty yard field goal, and then the 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.520 Raiders throw it right back to us because Jalen Ramsey 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.280 makes one of the best plays I've ever seen a 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.840 cornerback make. And it's just like rules in the system, 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.400 you go get this guy because he fits what you 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.200 want to do defensively from a schematic standpoint, and he 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.599 can take this thing to a level that I don't know, 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:30.640 I don't know, man like. 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.280 It is such a good play. 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.800 Like he's got eyes in the quarterback zone, turn butt 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.360 to the sideline, kind of keying the route concept and 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.240 the moment the man that's playing off of his you know, 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.640 he's got outside leverage, which is butt to the sideline, 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.800 drive inside the moment the guy that's inside of him 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.560 breaks on his route inside. He's running the route for 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.880 the receiver and driving inside. And then to cap it off, 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.680 he makes a diving catch, undercuts the route, makes a 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.840 diving grab. What a freaking play that was. Let's go 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.000 ahead and cue up some sound to hear from Jalen Ramsey, 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.520 who was asked about the idea of being a defense 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.560 that generates takeaways versus a defense that just holds teams 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.320 off the scoreboard. Here's his intellectual mind thinking about which 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:10.880 one's better. 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.040 Probably both, right, But I think like the analytics are like, 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.040 if you plus two, you got an eighty percent chance 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.600 of winning, right. Put Like in the same token, if 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.800 you hold a team to under seventeen points, then you 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.400 got a eighty percent chance of winning. So yeah, I 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.120 guess it's kind of like pick your poison. Would you 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:30.600 rather have a lot of turnovers or like lockdown defense? 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:34.800 Obviously you will want both, right, But and that's what 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.400 we'll strive to do on our defense, and then the 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:42.200 offense deal correct some of their mistakes and they'll be 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.760 explosive and do what they are. I mean, they are 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.480 who they are, so we got all the confidence and 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:49.079 faith in them. 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.040 A bit of a tangent there about the offense. Who 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.240 would get the football back and go kick a forty 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.280 one yard field goal to make it a seventeen to 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.760 thirteen game. After that play a critical nineteen yard rip 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.960 to Waddle on third and one on extend of that drive, 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.000 You only got to pick from Robert Splain. He does 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.840 that about once a week where he finds himself in 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.839 the hook zone and a chance to make a play. 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.200 He just couldn't make this one. And then Tu had 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.520 a third and seventh throw to Waddle that was a 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.960 little bit low and incomplete, and I thought had a 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.240 chance to complete that at the plus twenty three kick 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.400 the field goal, go back out, get another third down stop, 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.960 and like Ramsey, Ramsey had four plays in this game 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.120 to me, the two picks. Obviously, we'll talk about the 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.680 other one here in the moment, the fourth down coverage 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:28.600 on DeVante Adams. 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.640 But how about on this play third and one. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.800 Everybody in the universe knows the Raiders want to run 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.560 that football, right, that's a team they want to be. 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:37.840 So what do they do? 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.559 They break tendency and run a flea flicker and it's 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.520 basically Ramsey versus Adams like one on one with playing 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.880 press and up in his face and Adams gets on 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.280 top and he's like open. But it's like you have 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.640 to throw the football into a Amazon box from fifty 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.120 yards away, Like good luck doing that. He's right there, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.200 takes away all options besides that Amazon box up top. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:13:59.520 O'colin does not hit it. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.679 Dolphins get the football right back and they go kick 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.320 a fifty one yard field goal after Tua gets a 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.400 drive starter to Tyreek on an insane route, or he 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.280 is just burning vertically right at the cornerback presses his 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.320 toes and when you pause it, the cornerback shoulders and 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.520 his hips and his feet are square with the opposing 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.560 end zone like he's facing his back to the quarterback. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.800 So Tyreek just snaps the route off to the perimeter, 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:25.920 makes a big catch for like thirty two yards in 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.120 that play, and that puts them in position to go 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.800 go ahead and kick the field goal after a miss 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.080 third and one completion to alec Ingold, who was open 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:34.920 on the peel back with the ball hit him in 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.960 the chest and kind of scorted through his lower half 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.800 and just went incomplete. The Raiders punked the football right 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.400 back after a sack from Jalen Phillips or forces O'Connell 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.680 to the ground or force him off the spot. Rather 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.240 he teamed up with Bradley Chubb for a hit on 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.480 the quarterback, but Phillips gets the sack. So you're just 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:50.920 hearing three and out, three and out, three and out, 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.360 and all the time the Raiders are within one possession 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.040 of going and taking the lead or tying this football game, 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.000 and it's not happening for them. But the Dolphins get 0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.400 the football back and they go. 0:14:59.360 --> 0:14:59.840 Three and out. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.200 Just a little bit out of sync there, a little 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.520 weird throw on the sideline on a swing route that 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.320 got tipped and looked like it could have been potentially 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.760 picked off where I thought Tyreek Hill was kind of open. 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.880 Just looked a little disjointed in the second half offensively. 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.120 But the Raiders get it back and they turn it 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.320 over on downs again because of Ramsey. In a fourth 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.160 down coverage snap fourth and three, they throw a vertical 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.920 to DeVante Adams, and Adams is running the route on 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.440 the white perimeter on the boundary of the field right 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.560 the sideline, not a good place to be. Ramsey presses him, 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.320 pins him, and holds him there and runs the route 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.480 for him incomplete. After a great play by Cater Kohu 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.320 to get in against an end a round and force 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.680 this receiver to bubble deep, and that allowed Javon Holland 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.600 to come from deep and make a tackle seven yards 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.560 behind the line of scrimmage there, So kind of that's 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.680 a little play before the play there from those two guys. 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.080 Dolphins get it back, get one first down then give 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.480 it back over to the Raiders, and then the Raiders 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.680 move the chains a little bit. And there was a 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:59.080 play that Christian Wilkins made where Hunter Renfro made a 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.840 catch and got down the field and Brook seventeen tackles 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.760 and Christian Wilkins came from about forty yards in the 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.200 wrong from the defensive line the pass rush and makes 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.520 a tackle on Hunter Renfro. It is insane, insane level 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.480 of retrace down the field and effort and the love 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.960 for your teammates. After I saw Phillips do it earlier 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:19.960 on the play that XC got beat for the DPI 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.480 slash game of twenty four yards, Jalen Phillips made that 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.800 tackle as well. So the defensive line retracing downfield huge, 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:27.880 huge part of this game. More on that than just 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.360 one second. Dolphins get it back, punt it back over 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.640 to the Raiders and then the Raiders drive about half 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.280 the field and you're kind of worried about it. Then 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.040 they throw it up into the air into the end 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.720 zone and Jalen Ramsey skies over and makes another play 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.480 on a football and insane catch, a receiver level mossing catch. 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.320 He makes the play and puts the Dolphins in the 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.840 winner circle. Let's go ahead and hear from Jalen Phillips 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.800 on how Ramsey is able to make these plays and 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.000 the professional approach that the rest of the team can 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:55.760 learn from with Jalen Ramsey. 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.560 What happens when you got elite talent and elite preparation, 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.480 and just the mentality really during throughout that whole process. Man, 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.240 I can't imagine how tough it was for him just 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.000 to see us out here playing. Obviously, you know all 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.040 the hype during the offseason and he doesn't even get 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.159 a chance to come out during the regular season, and 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.359 so you know, for him to come out and then 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.359
