0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and start this podcast as we do

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>every single Sunday, recapping your Miami Dolphins as they fall

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.759
<v Speaker 1>thirty one to twenty three to the Seattle Seahawks. Good

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>battle back and forth. Dolphins go toe to toe with

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>one of the NFC elites and now the four no

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Seattle Seahawks as they prevail once more in the fourth quarter,

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>as they do with that quarterback and with that coach.

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>We talked about it on the Thursday podcast. This guy

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>has twenty nine fourth quarter comebacks and twenty two game

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 1>winning drive. So it's just it's kind of kind of

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>par for the course for Russell Wilson. Dolphins were there,

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>had a chance to make some plays at the end,

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>it came out the other way again a few plays

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>ago the other direction, as kind of has been the

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>case in a few of these games this year. Dolphins

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>could have found victory but could not finish something Brian

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Flores and the players talked about post game in this one,

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna hear from those guys here in just

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>one second. But real quick, on the statistics, Dolphins go

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>for four hundred and fourteen yards. Seahawks go for four

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>forty one. Miami has a hundred and three on the

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>ground compared to Seattle's ninety eight rushing yards. Dolphins passed

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>for three twelve Seattle three forty three. On third and

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>fourth down, Miami was seven out of thirteen, the Seahawks

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>just four of eleven. That includes a fourth down stop

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>down on the red zone on an Emmanuel Ogg Boss

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>sack that will come up here shortly in the five takeaways.

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.799
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of takeaways, Miami they get one, Seahawks get to

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>both interceptions there of Ryan Fitzpatrick Xaviing Howard gets to

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 1>pick on Russell Wilson. Dolphins got two sacks on Russell Wilson.

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Fits was sacked just one time. And in this game

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>only three penalties and twenty total yardage combined among the

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>two teams, and those were all distributed to the Miami Dolphins.

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks didn't have any penalties or any yards on the day.

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Time of possession goes to the Dolphins as well, thirty

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>three minutes and nine seconds to Seattle's twenty six fifty

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>one of game time having the football. So with that,

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 1>we'll go ahead and jump right into the five take ways,

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna start here, and I was trying to

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>figure out how to structure this, but I want to

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>end with my I think my favorite or my most

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>important takeaway, the one that I think that we should

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 1>all kind of step back and take a look at

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>contextually and apply context because, as I've said for so

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>very long now, process over results. Man Like, Yeah, the

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>results are gonna be what puts you, you know, ahead

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and the scoreboard, and there's no debating how important that is.

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>It's the most important thing. But if you want to

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>think about, you know, in a sixteen game sample size

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>football season, where the team might be going and where

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>things might be trending, you want to look more in depth.

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>You want to have a a broader view, not just

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>look at the one single wins and losses and think

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>that's what the football team is. In every element. There

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>is so much that goes on on game day and

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>from Sunday through Friday, or from Monday through Saturday, rather

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>before game day out Sunday, and it's important to have

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>context to everything that goes into a football game. The

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>countless hours that are worked and coached and put on

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the practice field in the weight room. I just think

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it's very disingenuous to not take a full bird's eye

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>approach and conte and make every think contextual when it

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>comes to such an esoteric sport like football that is

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>so complex and so difficult to to learn, to describe

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and to really be able to evaluate yourself. So just

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>that's the theme of this podcast tonight, having context behind

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>this thirty one twenty three loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And we start here with takeaway number one, and I'm

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna go back into the secondary where I was really

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>impressed with these guys, you know and Earnest for all

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 1>about three or four plays in this game. We talked

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>all week about Russell Wilson on the podcast, on the Blitz,

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>on the Top News, on the game preview, on the flashback.

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>He was in every segment we did, and that's because

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>he's one of the two or three best football players

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>on the entire planet and he's been showing that through

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the first three weeks. And maybe I was, you know,

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I find my perspective a little bit different up in

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the press box, but maybe up there to me, he

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>never like took over the game, and that was a

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>great sign of progress for the Dolphins on that end.

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Because this guy has taken over great defenses time and

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>time again. That you know, the Patriots in Week two,

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson went up and down the field and they

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>couldn't do anything to stop him. Because when you are

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that good at that position in this league, the way

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 1>it's tailored, it's impossible to stop a quarterback who's red hot.

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>You just cannot do it. That's why we have all

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.719
<v Speaker 1>these gaudy stats nowadays. And the Dolphins were able to,

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>at least in some semblance, limit Russell Wilson, I thought,

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>more so than what he has done the rest of

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the season combined. And look the deep ball at the

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>end of the first half. At the end of the

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.839
<v Speaker 1>first half, that just can't happen, it can't. You see

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>the safety up top roll over to the other side

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>of the formation. Then you've got ig Banogny and Van

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Noy with a two man route combination to that side

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 1>of the field, a high low type of deal. One

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.359
<v Speaker 1>goes short, one goes deep. You just cannot let that

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>guy get behind you. You cannot do it, cannot do it.

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>But that's when we throw in the trash, the deep

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>shot to lock. It sucks too, but that's what this

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>offense has done. Like we just said, they've done it

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 1>to everybody all year. They've gotten vertical to Dk Metcalf,

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.600
<v Speaker 1>to Tyler Lockett, David Moore got involved today the touchdown

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 1>off the interception. That's another play that I think you

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>want to get rid of such a deflating moment theory,

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>because that's the moment where up in the press box,

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>for instance, the sports writers, they know where their story

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>is going. Their postgame story has the final direction they

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 1>need to take it in Like after the Jacksonville game,

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 1>for instance, after the first couple of drives, I'm thinking, Okay,

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>this Dolphins coming out strong, putting up a big lead.

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>This is probably gonna be my story lead. I'll go

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>ahead and write that, and if it mounts that way,

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>will continue the story that way. And so that Jacksonville

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>story was done within the first two quarters of that

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>game because it never really changed. But in this game,

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the storyline kept changing three or four times it changed,

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and that moment, the Fitzpatrick interception, that's kind of when

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you start to get your fingers on the keyboard thinking okay,

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.720
<v Speaker 1>this game might go a certain way right now, And

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 1>that's what happened, and you know, I was furiously typing

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>away at that moment because how many times have you

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>heard the broadcaster when you're watching a football game say,

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 1>look for them to take a shot right here coming

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>off the turnover. It happens, And it happened. But what

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>about the rest of the Dolphins secondary. You lose your

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 1>captain in free safety for a couple of series and

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Bobby McCain, Jamal Perry stepped in, and I thought he

0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>did a good job. I'd love to go back and

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 1>watch the tape. I don't have that available to me

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 1>right now, but you know, we'll do that later in

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.919
<v Speaker 1>the week. But I thought he played well and he

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, he played safety a smidge in training camp

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>last year, and I wrote a little joke in my

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 1>notes here that Jamal Perry has always been a corner

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>because he changed his name from Jamal Wilts to Jamal

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Perry this offseason, and he played some safety a little

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>bit last year in camp, but for the most part,

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>he was in that slot position last year and he's

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 1>been playing there a lot this year as well. So

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 1>for him to step into that free safety roll, good

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>work and good versatility and good next man up mentality

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>there Noah Bunogamy is a player that they're going to

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 1>continue to count on on this defense. He is a

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>player that has such high upside that so many folks

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>have spoken so highly of him, both at Auburn and

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 1>now with the Miami Dolphins. Coaches players alike, they love

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>this kid. He's super young, the youngest player in the

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>entire National Football League. Dolphins have mixed in plenty of

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>zone and man coverage in this game and this season now,

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>and he was with Tyler Lockett for a fair share

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>of the game today and he only caught two passes

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>for thirty nine yards. Lock It didn't This is a

0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>guy that's you know, gone to Pro Bowls before as

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a y receiver, So he's getting some big time assignments

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>and you know, there's gonna be some bumps along the road.

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>That's what Coach Flora said today. He's gonna have some

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>highs and some lows, and we know he's gonna come

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>back and compete and be resilient, and we're gonna coach

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>him and he'll be better for it. And I agree

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>with Coach Flora's there. He's only going to be better

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>for seeing all this tough competition. Through the first couple

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of games. A baptism by fire, so to speak, here

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>in the first four games of his NFL career. Now,

0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>how about xaviing Howard on the other side of the ball.

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I was on my tweet deck slash had my notes up,

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and I saw somebody tweet one of my one of

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>people I follow on Dolphins Twitter, said, how about Xavian

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Howard play right here? We we've lost Bobby, He's down

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>right now, he's not in the game. We and Byron

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Jones isn't in there. How about to play from x

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and what does he do? Goes out and gets one,

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna get to this on the inside the numbers,

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 1>but he's got nearly as many picks the last two

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>games as he does receptions allowed. His fourteen picks since

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.079
<v Speaker 1>last December, or since December rather, are the most in

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the National Football League. Think about that, he missed thirteen

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>games over that span and he's got fourteen picks. Guys,

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>A straight ball hawk, a maker. That was the title

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>of my blitz article on Friday, talking about xaviing Howard.

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And he goes out and gets another pick up against

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>DK Metcalf from Russell Wilson, who had thrown one pick

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>all season long so far this year, Eric Rowe just

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>continues to be a solid player back there. For me,

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I still can't believe greg Olsen caught that ball that

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>he got a hand on Roe got it from behind,

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and he even signaled incomplete because you tipped the balls

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.199
<v Speaker 1>and defender you think that's my job. I probably got

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the incompletion, but the ball lands on greg Olsen's lap

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>as he's fallen to the ground. It made no sense

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.680
<v Speaker 1>to me when I saw it live from the press box,

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and then it made less sense when I saw on

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 1>the replay. So that was the one catch I think

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>for a chunk game of yardage there that I saw

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Eric Rowe, you know, I guess give up as a

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>part of but just a bad bounce and a great

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 1>play there from Greg Olsen. So and speaking of the

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>bad bounces, the fumble the Seahawks have this is off topic,

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>but I just it's in my notes. The fumble the

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks had on Chris Carson when in Landon Roberts came

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.319
<v Speaker 1>in with Kyle van Noy and they kind of stacked

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>him up and hit him and he fumbled the football.

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>There was a pile of four dolphins right there and

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.599
<v Speaker 1>one seahawk in the area, and of course he's the

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>one that falls on it. Just that's just the way

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>football goes from times, man, the ball bounces a couple

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 1>of different ways. They get that fumble, Olsen doesn't catch

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>that pass, who knows what the outcome of the game is.

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>And then to finish this segment here, Byron Jones again

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>was not out there for the game. They ruled him

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>out on frind or he was doubtful on Friday, ruled

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>out inactive today before the game. But he talked last

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>week and I think this is very important to listen

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to about the importance of communication and growing that development

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 1>together for the defensive back room. We had Bobby McCain

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 1>post games something similar about how communication has to get

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.319
<v Speaker 1>stronger and how they just have to continue to work

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.959
<v Speaker 1>in that area as a secondary, as a defense and

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 1>as a team. And here's what Byron Jones had to

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>say on just that fact on Friday when he last

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>spoke to the media. We're still wrong. Um, there's no

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>question about that. We have no It was really talented

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>young rookie, but he just hadn't seen a lot but

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.559
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you this, UM. You know, he's probably

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the most impressive young guys I've seen a

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>very long time. And the way he approaches the game,

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's this kid is here early. These are early.

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>With the coach looking at film, he's they're late. The

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>way he practices, the way he really approaches practice is

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>really impressive for a young guy to understand that. And

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.440
<v Speaker 1>for me just to see X when he came back

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>towards the end of camp, I think his first couple

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 1>of days he got like two or three picks. I'm like,

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you can see his playmaking ability right away. UM. So

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>it's it's gonna be special, but it's gonna take work. UM.

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.839
<v Speaker 1>You really have to bond together as a unit. It's

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>not just about having, um, just really good players on

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the roster. You really have to develop a bond and

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.959
<v Speaker 1>really developed that level of communication. UM, that can really

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>lead us to a different level. Um, there's a lot

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>more than just the physical talent. There's a lot of

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>mental talent. There's trusting each other, knowing that this person

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>is going to be where he's supposed to be, knowing

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>you get inside, helth outside help wherever. Whatever it may be,

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 1>so we're still developing that, but that's a fun challenge

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>going through the year. Yeah. I just think that really

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that really perfectly addresses this dolphin second, and I'll take

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Byron Jones a word on that over anything right now.

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>And again, four games into a team that has been

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>really really overturned a lot, it's you know, we're gonna

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>find out a lot about these guys over the course

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>of the next twelve games for the rest of the

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>season and find out what they're made of. And you know,

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to see them try to rise to that challenge.

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that's gonna be kind of the story of

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>the year and how they bounced back from one in

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 1>three start played much better the second half of last year.

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>We'll see if they can do that the final three

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.839
<v Speaker 1>quarters of this season. Up next. Takeaway number two Shack Lawson,

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuel Ogba. That's just the takeaway. I think the things

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you brought them in to do, they are showing why

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>you brought them in to do that. The length on

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the way they're able to stack the edge there. And

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>this is mostly Emmanuel Ogball in this game, who I

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>thought played really well defending the outside run, getting pressure

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>on the quarterback, stacking up the edge and making that

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>strong edge, setting a solid, strong edge that that the

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.680
<v Speaker 1>offense has to respect and cut back inside and work

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 1>off that. I think that he did a fantastic job

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>in that area, had a big TfL had a couple

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 1>of other stacks where he was able to force the

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>back to bubble and allow his teammates, his friends, his

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>playmakers around him to come in clean it up and

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>make plays that way. There was only one play where

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I remember Seattle significantly winning the edge big time, and

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>they had it said it was Andrew Van Ginkle, but

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>then it was David Moore on that pop hass on

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a little jet sweep, just puts a little move on

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Van Geekle and he got him a little bit, got

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 1>him out over his skis, and he won the edge

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 1>that way. But for the most part, I thought the

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>edge was strong all game long, and these guys have

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 1>really been a big part of that. Shack Laws and

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>emmanuel A Ball both playing so many snaps and doing

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 1>what they were supposed to do, stacking the stacking of bodies,

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>setting a strong edge and creating plays for everybody else

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>in the running game, as well as making their own too,

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>but they also rushed the quarterback, and aug Bas sack

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 1>was a very classic Emmanuel Ogba sack. That's just the

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>way he gets after the quarterback, heavy hands, he loves

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 1>to kind of draw the punch out of the offensive

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.719
<v Speaker 1>lineman and slaps those things away and then he can

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.680
<v Speaker 1>dip and bend the yark, which is impressive for a

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 1>guy that big. My goodness, this guy is tall and

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>long and he's able to get around that edge, bend

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>it tucket and get to the quarterback and get him

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 1>on the ground. Had that big, big sack on fourth

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>down that was such a huge play at that time

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>in the game. And then shack loss in his sack too.

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>It came right after an ag Ba TfL. Just a

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.319
<v Speaker 1>really damn good play from Shack laws And kind of

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I think on ag bas sack, he was over the

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>he was right around the five technique posession, if my

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>memory serves me correctly, so he kind of had to,

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, line up across the tackle then or the

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 1>four technique five technique and kind of work off the

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>outside shoulder. Shack Lawson's was very similar. They're not in

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 1>that really wide set edge where they kind of can

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:15.960
<v Speaker 1>just run around the edge and you speed and maybe

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a spin moved back inside. They line up over the

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.479
<v Speaker 1>tackle and they they're able to work into the backfield

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>from that position. Thought Shack Lawson did the exact same

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>thing and then did a great job to keep his

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 1>eyes on Wilson and break down there because even though

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 1>it's the pocket, it's still open space, right because Wilson

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 1>can flee and have their direction to break down and

0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>get a hand on him and get him to the ground.

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>And he got injured in the process of doing that,

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 1>but he came back from the injury, so that was

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 1>great to see. I thought that that entire process of

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 1>that play was just really good work from Shack Lawson.

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Takeaway number three and we'll kind of go towards the

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>negative here. It's just the red zone woes and and

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins talked about it. Coaches talked about it, players talked

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.240
<v Speaker 1>about it. They've got to find a way to execute

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 1>down in that red zone. That's where football games are

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 1>one and lost. There are schemes and defense is built

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>on the idea of ending but not breaking. If we

0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.360
<v Speaker 1>can hold you to three, we trusted our guys can

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 1>score seven enough to go out and win football games.

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think there are certainly opponents that you feel

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you have to be a little more aggressive against and

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 1>go get more points against, or just execute better down

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone against, because they are more liable

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>to come around the back end and score. And the

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins were staying in pace for that game because besides

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the seven zero start when things kind of got you know,

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 1>ugly early, the game was never in a situation where

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 1>it was two scores until very late in the game.

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 1>So to continue to stay in that battle and kick

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 1>a field goal and stay and play good defense on

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson, and you know, through the first seven drives

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>of that game, Seattle had seven team points on offense.

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>So to be able to do that and kind of

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>understand how care defense is playing really well today, Let's

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>keep them in the game by continuously putting points on

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the board and staying on the field and converting third

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.720
<v Speaker 1>downs and keeping their defense on the field and keeping

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>their quarterback on the sideline. But at the end of

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the day, there's still gonna be enough drives at the

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 1>end there for Russell Wilson, and he just showed you

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 1>what he can do. So to be able to kind

0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>of bog down the red zone. That was a big

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 1>reason why this game didn't come back in favor of

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the good guy, in favor of the home team. And

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>on a few of those third down plays, you know,

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 1>coach and and Flora and Ryan Fitzpatrick rather both talked

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>about execution. On the Dolphins second field goal, they had

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.800
<v Speaker 1>a fourth and or a third and three rather from

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the eleven yard line and could not convert on I

0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Fitzpatrick passed to Isaiah Ford would wind up kicking a

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 1>field goal from twenty nine yards. You feel if you

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>get a first down there and tide the ten, you

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 1>feel good about scoring. So that's a chance right there,

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>a player where you can maybe swift the flow of

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 1>the game four points in your direction. That's the second

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 1>field goal of the game. On the third field goal,

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>they had a third and four and this one goes

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 1>incomplete from Fitzpatrick to Jachim Grant and they would wind

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 1>up kicking a forty five yard field goal. That one

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 1>came out from the twenty seven yard line. So maybe

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not you know, it's such a surefire thing to

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.880
<v Speaker 1>get closer to the end zone. But fourth and three

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 1>or for or third and four and third and three.

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 1>You feel good about your chances to convert those over

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the course of a lot a large sample size, at

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>least your percentage wise. On the fourth field goal, that

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 1>was fourth and five from the Seattle twenty five yard line,

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>standards made it from forty three yards out. So again

0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 1>fourth and five and we'll see if you can get that's,

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, not as easy as fourth and short as

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>far as the stats stay, as far as converting those

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.919
<v Speaker 1>third and fourth downs, and then the final one in

0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the fourth quarter with about eight minutes

0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty seconds to go, Dolphins had a third and three

0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>at the nine yard line, and if Gaskin can find

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>a way to you know, if they can get some

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.600
<v Speaker 1>push there and get a couple of positive yardags, maybe

0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the differences of the outcome is different there with the

0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.359
<v Speaker 1>fourth and shorter, but you go back to fourth and

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>five there, that should certainly makes things a lot more

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 1>challenging for the coach to make a decision on going

0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.240
<v Speaker 1>for or kicking. So those are just a few plays,

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 1>those three plays right there with third and three or

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 1>four to go, if you can convert those again, just

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 1>like the plays the Greg Olsen player the fumble. If

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.840
<v Speaker 1>you can get those to go the other direction, you're

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.879
<v Speaker 1>talking about possibly a different football game. But still, at

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, it's up to these guys

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to execute in the red zone. To find a way

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>to look at those third and four, third and three plays,

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 1>convert them, execute them. Let's go ahead and hear from

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Brian Flores and Ryan Fitzpatrick on the red red zone execution.

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and start here with coach first. I mean,

0:17:55.880 --> 0:18:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just execution down the red zone. Um. Look,

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 1>when you get down there, it's that the onlines are tighter, UM,

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and safeties are closer to the box of the run.

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Games have more guys in the box. It's harder scoring

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the red zone, and that you got to have really

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>good execution. We didn't have that today. And you know,

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 1>again against a good team, you gotta punch it in.

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 1>And even though we didn't, you know close, But at

0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, you know those points, you know,

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:33.440
<v Speaker 1>three instead of seven, they add up, and you know

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 1>we need every point, especially against a team like that. Yeah,

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:38.800
<v Speaker 1>especially it's a see him like that, see ill Seahawks

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>obviously gonna be a tough out anywhere you get them.

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:42.640
<v Speaker 1>So if you can get seven points to the three,

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 1>obviously that helps you. And that was the story of

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the day, says Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yeah, I thought

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that was the story of the day. Um, you know,

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.120
<v Speaker 1>being able to move the ball effectively and not being

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 1>able to do anything in the red zone and um,

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, whether it was a penalty or poor execution

0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>or you know, just a bad read by me, it

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>just seemed like every time we got down there, something

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 1>popped up, and red zone execution really falls on the quarterback.

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 1>And so, you know, for me, I walk out of

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 1>this game feeling terrible in that I felt like there's

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys on our team that played well

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 1>enough to win, and unfortunately was not one of them.

0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:32.119
<v Speaker 1>And when that happens in your quarterback doesn't play, you know,

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.399
<v Speaker 1>up to his ability, then you're not gonna win a

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of games in this league. And those thoughts

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 1>obviously corroborated there and backed up by the rest of

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.399
<v Speaker 1>the players. We spoke to Ted Carriss, Miles Gaskin, Bobby mccainn.

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>They all talked about finishing and that includes both red

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 1>zone offensively and finishing on the defensive side. So take

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 1>a number three. Red zone woes are kind of the

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 1>story of the day here. Number four is Jason Sanders

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>nine for nine now on this season, hasn't missed a

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:58.360
<v Speaker 1>point after attempt. He has the best field goal percentage

0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 1>and team history, franchise history over the course of his career,

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.639
<v Speaker 1>had a such a strong camp. I seriously do not

0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.040
<v Speaker 1>recall him missing a field goal. Now, granted we don't

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 1>have the best angle from my spot, but I do

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 1>not remember him going wide in either direction. He was

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 1>so money all the time. I have the utmost confidence

0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:16.400
<v Speaker 1>in three points on the board when they call Jason

0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Sanders out there and he's nine for nine from field goals,

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:20.239
<v Speaker 1>no miss p a t s in the year, so

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 1>why wouldn't you trust him? But also the kickoff pooches.

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that was the first time that I recalled

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the I mean, any game this year. Kickoffs getting returned

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:30.639
<v Speaker 1>typically goes with the back of the end zone a

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 1>touch back. He did a great job of pooching that

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 1>one down in the corner. Got a funky bounce and

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:36.920
<v Speaker 1>if from there you almost have a chance to recover

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.920
<v Speaker 1>it possible you know, fumble or whatever. Live ball into

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the ten yard line, the Seahawks wind up grabbing it

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 1>running out to the eleven yard line, puts them back

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:45.640
<v Speaker 1>on the shadow of their own goal line. So great

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 1>job by Jason Sanders and the kicking game and this

0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:50.879
<v Speaker 1>one and the fifth takeaway. My final takeaway, my my

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of ending thought for you guys here is that

0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 1>this is a resilient bunch. This Dolphins team is a

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.440
<v Speaker 1>very resilient group. You talk about these the way these

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 1>guys kind of handled them else at the end of

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the game on the postgame pressers, their demeanor after the game.

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.800
<v Speaker 1>They're upset, man, They're mad. They care, and I was too.

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad to drive from you know, hard Rock Stadium

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to my apartment is about fifteen minutes away, because I

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.400
<v Speaker 1>hate that drive home. I made it twice now after

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the Buffalo game, after the Seattle game. It's like beautiful

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:18.879
<v Speaker 1>in South Florida, and all I can think about is, man,

0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>if we just get two or three players the other way,

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:22.880
<v Speaker 1>we could have been driving home with a victory here,

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 1>but didn't go out that way. I care, And that's

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 1>the same demeanor you felt from these players today. And

0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I understand it's a new year a new team. But

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I saw the same coach last year rally a team

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that had far more reasons to be downtrodden and pack

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:37.600
<v Speaker 1>it in than they are right now, and they never did.

0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 1>And this team won't either. That's the one thing I

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.200
<v Speaker 1>can promise you, Like I'm not supposed to speak and

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, definitive platitudes, but this team will not close

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 1>up shop. That's not the that's not the mentality of

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 1>this team, of this coach. They're just not going to

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>be a team that back down from the challenge. They're

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna rise up to it. And this team was. They

0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>were close. And all three of these games, all three

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 1>losses are against teams who are combined ten and one

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:01.119
<v Speaker 1>is the Buffalo Bills game. Just went finals recording this podcast,

0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And there was legitimate chances to win each of those games.

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 1>In the fourth quarter. They had the lead against Buffalo

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen in the fourth quarter, they had a chance

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 1>to capture a lead with about eight minutes in the

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:13.400
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter. Today we talked about the third and three

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 1>with Miles gask and he gets a couple of positive yards,

0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:18.439
<v Speaker 1>maybe it goes the other direction. They have a they

0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:20.880
<v Speaker 1>have more time possession in this game. They are better

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:24.399
<v Speaker 1>on third downs. They sacked Wilson more than Ryan Fitzpatrick

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 1>got sack Rick by the way, that's six sacks allowed

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:30.119
<v Speaker 1>in four games for your Dolphins offensive line. They rushed

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>for more yards than the Seahawks. They were not overmatched.

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I talked about how Wilson never seemed to really take

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 1>over the game except for maybe a couple of big

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.159
<v Speaker 1>plays here, but he wasn't consistently hitting big passes and

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>just chewing up your defense. Aside from that bad start,

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and let's go ahead and hear from Bobby McCaine real

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.399
<v Speaker 1>quick on the Dolphins start of this game interception on

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 1>offense on a tip pass albeit and then a fairly

0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 1>quick score there from Russell Wilson and the Seahawks offense

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 1>on the other side to go down seven zero in

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the first five minutes of the game. I asked Bobby

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 1>post game about how what the defense did the first

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 1>seven actions to limit Russell Wilson in this explosive offense

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to only seventeen points. He talked about how they got

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to start better, how they have to finish better. Here

0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:08.680
<v Speaker 1>he is talking about how a poor start and kind

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.120
<v Speaker 1>of you know, it's good to get that that important

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>tone set early. Here's Bobby McCain on starting better. Just

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 1>get stops defensively, be better, um the back end, up

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 1>front as a unit, we gotta be better. We gotta

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:26.479
<v Speaker 1>start faster. As a team, you gotta start fast and

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:29.919
<v Speaker 1>come out with the clip energy and come on and

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:31.399
<v Speaker 1>just have a good start to the game. Because when

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 1>you get behind in the game, you get down the game.

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 1>It makes things, it makes things hard on you, and you, yeah,

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:39.120
<v Speaker 1>you're back and pigainst the wall. And so aside from

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:42.160
<v Speaker 1>that bad start, this game was always competitive, going toe

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:44.440
<v Speaker 1>to toe with a legit contender and they just came

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 1>up short. And not finishing leaves a very sour taste

0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 1>in your mouth, and I get that, I feel that,

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 1>But having a broader view is so important. I see

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 1>a team that's improved in several key areas, a team

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 1>that's growing and learning. They need to learn how to finish,

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>which is a very learned skill. In this league. You

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 1>have to learn how to close out those close games.

0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:02.639
<v Speaker 1>And it's one of the things that Flora's will certainly

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:05.199
<v Speaker 1>be talking about when he talks about building on what

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:07.359
<v Speaker 1>you've done for the guys that have been successful in

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 1>practice and in games that he feels like. He always says,

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel good about where he's at. To continue building

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.360
<v Speaker 1>on that means to continue to work better, so those

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:16.120
<v Speaker 1>four or five players you can make um so they

0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:18.119
<v Speaker 1>do go your way, so you can get that w

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:20.120
<v Speaker 1>It's the margin for air in this league is so

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.800
<v Speaker 1>so short. And how about the evaluation of this team

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:25.159
<v Speaker 1>from fits we heard earlier he talked about shouldering the

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:27.159
<v Speaker 1>blame on his own, you know, taking the blame for

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 1>himself down the red zone, not executing for some of

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the players who he thought played well enough to win

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the game. But he felt like he didn't that evaluation

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>from your quarterback, from your very honest, transparent, thirty seven

0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:39.919
<v Speaker 1>year old leader of your football team. I think that

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:42.400
<v Speaker 1>speaks volumes about where he thinks this team is, where

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 1>they can be, where they should be, and where they

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 1>eventually will get to if they just continue to stay

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the course and work hard and get better and make

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 1>that daily improvement to get the talent up to speed

0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 1>and get playing on the same page, on the same level.

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Because this team did bring in a bunch of talent

0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and they are so much better and so much closer

0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>than they were this time a year ago, and I

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:01.159
<v Speaker 1>think it's very obvious to see that so far. So

0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:03.640
<v Speaker 1>he talked about this team, you know, with that that

0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 1>comment about him not getting his job done and so

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:08.400
<v Speaker 1>many players playing what he said was well enough to win,

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and that in conjunction with what he said last week

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:13.879
<v Speaker 1>about this team, you know, he said they were upset.

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 1>It was good to see guys upset after the game

0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 1>after the one in three record. Now, but last week

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:20.760
<v Speaker 1>after beating Jacksonville, he said they had plenty of guys

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:23.240
<v Speaker 1>who thought they were better than their O and two record,

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:25.439
<v Speaker 1>And I think he's right. And look, I get it

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 1>results based business, but context matters, and context tells you

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that they went down to the wire with three teams

0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:35.119
<v Speaker 1>everybody had in the postseason playoff bracket prediction and wiped

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 1>out the fourth team on the schedule from the word go,

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:39.840
<v Speaker 1>from the first drive of the game. So you keep

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.479
<v Speaker 1>watching for the improvement, I think you'll find it. How

0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:44.919
<v Speaker 1>about some of the postgame notes here from Miami Dolphins

0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 1>dot com. Our media staff are our communications department, Brett

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 1>to such a great job getting all these notes and

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:52.239
<v Speaker 1>all these stats out. Davanta Parker posted his first one

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:55.119
<v Speaker 1>hundred yard game of the season ten catches one eleven

0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 1>for Devanta Parker. It's the ninth one yard game of

0:25:57.840 --> 0:26:01.160
<v Speaker 1>his career that's tied for eighth most in Miami Dolphins history.

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>He also finished the game with two hundred and fifty

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 1>nine career receptions for three thousand, six hundred yards. The

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:10.879
<v Speaker 1>thirty yards moves him past running back Tony Nathan for

0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 1>ninth place in team history in all time receiving yards,

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 1>and he is now just three hundred forty yards shy

0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>of Jarvis Landry for eighth place. The ten catches he

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:21.679
<v Speaker 1>had were a career high, and at the end of

0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:24.240
<v Speaker 1>the one PM games across the NFL landscape, he had

0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 1>twelve hundred and eighty receiving yards dating back to Week

0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 1>seven of last year, and that which encompasses the sixteen games,

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.040
<v Speaker 1>is the best in the NFL. If those sixteen games

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 1>were on its own, Parkers hundred eighty yards receiving would

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:38.480
<v Speaker 1>be the fourth best mark in single season Dolphins history.

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:41.399
<v Speaker 1>So a good last sixteen games for Davante Parker. We

0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 1>talked about xaviing Howard, picking off Russell Wilson and the

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 1>end zone there with five minutes to play in the

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:49.200
<v Speaker 1>third quarter. Fourteenth pick for Xaving Howard in his last

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:52.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty six games played since December of seventeen. I told

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>you about him leading the NFL and that time span,

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Fuller of Chicago, Kevin Byard, Marcus Peters, Quandre Digs,

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Trey White, demonte Akzy, and Marcus Williams go from thirteen

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:05.359
<v Speaker 1>to ten picks. Among those guys, Xavian Howard now stands

0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>alone since December seventeen with fourteen interceptions. We talked about

0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Jason Sanders going three for three in the first half,

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:14.359
<v Speaker 1>two for two in the second half, five for five

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 1>in the game. He became the fourth kicker in Dolphins

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:19.480
<v Speaker 1>history to have two games with at least five field goals.

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Last December against the Jets he kicked five and that

0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 1>kicked seven rather against the Jets on December the eight,

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:28.280
<v Speaker 1>So Jason Sanders has been money in the bank. As

0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 1>far as injuries in this game, DeVante Parker, Bobby McCain,

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Austin Jackson, and Shaq Lawson all left the game with injuries,

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 1>but all returned, so a good good news there. On

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins injury front. Eric Flowers made his seventy five

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 1>NFL start today, Bobby McCain played his seventy five NFL

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 1>game today, and Clayton Federalum made his Dolphins debut. Chandler

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Cock had his first touch today, a three yard reception

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:53.159
<v Speaker 1>in the game, first time he's had a carrier or

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:56.480
<v Speaker 1>a catch in the NFL. Devon god Shaw had five tackles.

0:27:56.520 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 1>He leads all defensive lineman in the seventeen draft class

0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:02.520
<v Speaker 1>with one dred and seventy nine career tackles for the

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 1>big guy for Davon god Show. A couple of individual

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:07.240
<v Speaker 1>notes we didn't cover here yet. I thought Matt breeds

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:09.880
<v Speaker 1>burst look really impressive in this game that catchy had

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:11.880
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the pistol where he catches the ball,

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 1>turns around and just turns on the Jets ran by

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 1>a couple of Seahawks defenders. He looked nice. I think

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 1>he and Miles gassing or teaming up and start to

0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:21.160
<v Speaker 1>look like a pretty nice little one to punch there.

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:24.119
<v Speaker 1>Gaskin just so physical and such good contact balance. We

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 1>just say that every single time, despite the fact that

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:28.159
<v Speaker 1>he's got the biggest back in the world, he always

0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:30.640
<v Speaker 1>finds a way to push the pile, get sideways, get

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:33.240
<v Speaker 1>skinny press holes until the very last moment before he

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 1>bounces it, bangs it or bends it, and just finds

0:28:35.560 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>a way to get extra yards on seemingly every single run.

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 1>There was a run on the third drop before the

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 1>third standers field goal where he was stacked up at

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the line or kind of behind the line, and he

0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 1>just drove his legs through that thing and got a

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of extra yards out of it. Was so impressed

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 1>by the way he's able to do that over and

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 1>over again, I thought. In the receiving department, we talked

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 1>about Davante Parker a lot, Isaiah Ford, a trusted receiver

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 1>over the middle, had that big third and tent catch,

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:01.479
<v Speaker 1>and then Fitzpatrick had a third and ten run shortly

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:03.960
<v Speaker 1>after that as well. I thought Jachem Grant had some

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 1>nice looking routes, some nice catches in the game, had

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:08.600
<v Speaker 1>a big third down reception over the middle on a

0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 1>crucial part of the game. So getting some more trust

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:12.640
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the field there as well. I

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>thought Mike Gassicky on that turkey whole shot early in

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the game between the over the top safety and underneath

0:29:17.240 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 1>cornerback was such a great catch and throw from GASSICKI

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and from Fitzpatrick on the offensive line. Love that heavy

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 1>offensive line package. We talked about a few times, Robert

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Hunt coming into the game getting some real push there

0:29:28.920 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>had Solomon Kinley with some good drive off a double

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:33.479
<v Speaker 1>team for Ted Carriss in my notes here, and that

0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 1>continues to be a theme on this podcast, the double

0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 1>teams of the Dolphins offensive line. We'll get more into

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that later in the week. About the offensive line, kind

0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>of tough to see how they performed from my vantage point.

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Talked about Emmanuel Augbon Shack Lawson. They were in my

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:47.040
<v Speaker 1>notes a law on the defensive line, and I think

0:29:47.080 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 1>we pretty well covered the defensive backs as well on

0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>this particular place. So Dolphins followed one in three. The

0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 1>individuals had some good performances. As Ryan Fitzpatrick had said,

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I actually was a big fan of the play calling

0:29:57.680 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 1>as well. On offense. I thought there was some great

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 1>designs and one of the things I think that Shane

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Hilly has done such a good job of this year

0:30:03.360 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 1>is that third and short offense, like the third and one,

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:08.920
<v Speaker 1>third and two working off that play action, bringing Fitzpatrick

0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 1>across the formation on the Bootleg today had that really

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 1>nice play where they had snuck during smithe across the

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 1>formation and completed a pass to him. So been a

0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:18.520
<v Speaker 1>big fan so far of the play calling and finding different,

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, different options in the passing game. Something John

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:22.800
<v Speaker 1>con Jemmy and I spoke about pregame was they gotta

0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 1>find a way to get the ball spread around and

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of test the Seattle defense. Don't with them locking

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 1>on one guy and spread them thin and use those

0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 1>matchups to your advantage. We thought they did a good

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 1>job of that in this game as well. And speaking

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 1>of John, let's go ahead and bring him on and

0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 1>get John conjemmies three takeaways to close up this Sunday

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:40.200
<v Speaker 1>recap edition of the Drivetime podcast, brought to you by

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Auto Nation, where every vehicle sold and service is sanitized

0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:47.720
<v Speaker 1>keep driving safe at auto nation dot com. It's also

0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 1>where Dolphins fans can sell their vehicle for cash right

0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:53.720
<v Speaker 1>now again at auto nation dot com. And speaking of

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:58.120
<v Speaker 1>John Conjemmi, Miami Dolphins multimedia host and my new seat

0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>neighbor in the Dolphins press box there at hard Rock Stadium,

0:31:01.120 --> 0:31:03.480
<v Speaker 1>let's go ahead and welcome in John con Jemmy right now, John,

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:06.040
<v Speaker 1>how you doing tonight, sir, I'm doing great to have us.

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 1>How about yourself? Well, you know, I told the folks

0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 1>in the podcast that I drive home just I think

0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:12.640
<v Speaker 1>about the game and kind of replayed in my head,

0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:14.440
<v Speaker 1>and I was a little bit upset today. But after

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 1>some time to kind of marinate the loss and think

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 1>about it, I've kind of seen the bigger picture. Maybe

0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 1>you can help us do the same. I'm not sure

0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to get to your takeaways, John, Let's just

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and start with number one for you. Well,

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess the first takeaway is that there were too many.

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess you could call it explosive plays for Seattle. Now,

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 1>this is an offense that's going to have explosive plays,

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:38.280
<v Speaker 1>but you're gonna need to limit those at some point

0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 1>in the game. And it just seemed like the Miami

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Dolphin defense, for as much pressure as they put on

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson and for as much good as they did

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:50.400
<v Speaker 1>for the majority of the game, they just allowed too

0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 1>many plays. I mean I was counting as I was

0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:55.000
<v Speaker 1>doing the post game show, and there might have been

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 1>twelve plays of over eleven or twelve or thirteen yards,

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:01.960
<v Speaker 1>but they just weren't fifteen and sixteen and seventeen. They

0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:05.240
<v Speaker 1>were the variety of fifty seven and thirty five and

0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 1>in thirties seven and eighteen and seventeen and twenty three

0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:14.600
<v Speaker 1>chunk yardage plays that a defense that's, you know, kind

0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 1>of trying to grind it out against one of the

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 1>best quarterbacks arguably could be the best quarterback this year.

0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:25.480
<v Speaker 1>After four games, you just can't withstand that for four quarters.

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 1>And I think it kind of wore the Miami Dolphins

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:31.760
<v Speaker 1>defense down and and it it kind of exposed a

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit again of Noah IgG Bnogamy or or Nick

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 1>need Um in in a situation right before halftime where

0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 1>you get a fifty seven yard where you're you should

0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:43.560
<v Speaker 1>be as deep as the deepest player on the field,

0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:46.120
<v Speaker 1>if your safety, if your corner, if your nickel corner

0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:50.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. Let people catch the twelve yard in front

0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 1>of you. If you break it tackle, it's eighteen yards.

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:54.840
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't turn into fifty seven and it doesn't

0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:58.480
<v Speaker 1>turn into points. So that's probably my first takeaway. Too

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:01.920
<v Speaker 1>many explosive plays for the Seattle Seahawks, a team that

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:05.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't need any help scoring points. No, they certainly don't.

0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 1>And that was something that I was curious to ask

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you about. Is I guess we will can do a

0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:12.000
<v Speaker 1>two pronged here. One. Is that something that you think

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:14.160
<v Speaker 1>is easily fixable or something they can just make a

0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 1>quick correction on, because you talk about John the fact

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that they did, you know, the first seven possessions of

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the game seven team points for the Seahawks. That's I

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:23.600
<v Speaker 1>thought that was a hell of a job on the

0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:25.560
<v Speaker 1>defensive side, but then you mentioned it kind of wears

0:33:25.600 --> 0:33:27.800
<v Speaker 1>on them a couple of big plays. Obviously the play

0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the first half that just can't happen.

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>We talked about it. It It just cannot happen. You talked

0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:34.040
<v Speaker 1>about getting as deep as the deepest guy. Is that

0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:36.200
<v Speaker 1>something you can just kind of, you know, fix and

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 1>turn around real quickly or it doesn't take more time. No,

0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I think you can. I mean it, it's basically rules

0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and assignments, and they were bust in the rules and assignments,

0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you have accountability for each player on

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the field. You know, if you're an offensive guy and

0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:54.040
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, you know, I'm gonna put this up on

0:33:54.080 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the white board, and every play is designed for a touchdown.

0:33:56.840 --> 0:33:59.480
<v Speaker 1>You're blocking this guy, you're taking this angle, you're hitting

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.560
<v Speaker 1>this creed, you're beating this defender. It should be a

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:06.560
<v Speaker 1>touchdown right in fantasyland. But you know, on defense, it's

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:08.839
<v Speaker 1>the same way. I have a defender for this. I'm

0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:12.520
<v Speaker 1>taking this leverage away, so you can't get outside and

0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:15.000
<v Speaker 1>set the edge like Van Ginkel tried to do today

0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and was run around for another one of those big

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:21.600
<v Speaker 1>explosive plays. So there there's different rules and different assignments

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and different expectations for each player on the defensive side.

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.560
<v Speaker 1>And I think that youre's there's been some you know,

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:30.840
<v Speaker 1>major bust on certain plays, not for the majority of

0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the game. I'm talking about snapshots of plays during a

0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:37.960
<v Speaker 1>game that you lose concentration, you may lose focus, or

0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you may just flat get beat out, and they turn

0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:45.560
<v Speaker 1>into big plays that game momentum, and more most importantly,

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 1>they put points or lead to points on the scoreboard.

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I look at the Dolphins seven for thirteen on third

0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:53.520
<v Speaker 1>down today on offense, and the Seahawks offense was only

0:34:53.560 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 1>four of ten including a failed fourth down, so four

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 1>for eleven on the money down. Just look at those stats,

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 1>you would assume that Dolphins had to benefit the advantage

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:03.480
<v Speaker 1>in this game. And that's kind of why I let

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:05.799
<v Speaker 1>into this podcast talking about how I was encouraged by

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:08.399
<v Speaker 1>some certain things because they went toe to toe with

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 1>this team that you know is four and oh and

0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:13.040
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna compete deep in the January. So that's you know,

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a balancing act for sure, John, But at the

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, to come away short on the scoreboard,

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 1>what was your second takeaway from that, John, in this game, Well,

0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:23.319
<v Speaker 1>I just think, you know, the lack of ability to

0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:25.839
<v Speaker 1>score points in terms of in the red zone, you know,

0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 1>being able to convert, being able to cash in on

0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these drives where you took five, six,

0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:34.000
<v Speaker 1>seven minutes off the clock and kept Russell Wilson on

0:35:34.120 --> 0:35:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the sidelines, or took advantage of pretty good field position

0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:39.399
<v Speaker 1>and then had to settle for three. And now I'm

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:42.560
<v Speaker 1>not saying that three points in the National Football League

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:45.319
<v Speaker 1>you should take for granted, but five of those opportunities

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:48.400
<v Speaker 1>by Jason Sanders could have been three opportunities and you

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:50.839
<v Speaker 1>cash the other two in for points in a one

0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 1>score game at the end of the four quarters, you

0:35:53.719 --> 0:35:56.640
<v Speaker 1>may end up with a different outcome. And I think

0:35:57.239 --> 0:36:01.200
<v Speaker 1>there there has to be more shots, not particularly Travis

0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone, but on the fringe of the

0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 1>red zone. There has to be those explosive plays to

0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 1>a six six Mike Cassicki in the end zone or

0:36:09.200 --> 0:36:12.720
<v Speaker 1>a six five Preston Williams or six three Davonte Parker,

0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:15.000
<v Speaker 1>because if you don't complete it, you may get p

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I and you may get down to the two yard

0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:19.520
<v Speaker 1>line or the one yard line, and now you're now

0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:22.640
<v Speaker 1>you're in prime position to cash in for six instead

0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>of three. The inability for the Dolphins to turn into

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:30.759
<v Speaker 1>some of those drives into touchdowns really uh. You know,

0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:33.920
<v Speaker 1>we talked about momentum on defense, how that kind of

0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:37.000
<v Speaker 1>drags the energy out of you when you allow fifty

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:39.520
<v Speaker 1>seven yard or a thirty five yard or well does

0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:41.719
<v Speaker 1>the same thing for an offense When you're grinding down

0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the field and you're making plays, and you're throwing four

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:46.640
<v Speaker 1>plays in a row and they're all completions, you get

0:36:46.640 --> 0:36:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to the red zone, you run the football you're throwing

0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:51.640
<v Speaker 1>in completion, you take a sack or a scramble, and

0:36:51.640 --> 0:36:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you're kicking a field goal. That's demoralizing to an offense.

0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:58.480
<v Speaker 1>After a period of time, and I think that's what

0:36:58.680 --> 0:37:01.440
<v Speaker 1>happened today. The minament all they got down there, they

0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:03.879
<v Speaker 1>were knocking on the door, they couldn't punch it in,

0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and the Seahawks really won by uh, you know, their

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:10.120
<v Speaker 1>strength of their of their red zone defense. That's a

0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:12.640
<v Speaker 1>really good point. They talked about that post game. The coach,

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:15.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, Coach Floors and the players talked about how

0:37:15.400 --> 0:37:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the red zone gets tighter, tighter, windows down, their safeties

0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:19.360
<v Speaker 1>are coming up closer to the the lion scream. There's not

0:37:19.400 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 1>as much space to operate in. So you're talking about

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:24.279
<v Speaker 1>going in from you know, twenty five to thirty five

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:27.120
<v Speaker 1>yard range and taking your shots from there. I recall charting,

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, Ryan, Tannehill and Kenny still touchdown passes a

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:32.160
<v Speaker 1>few years back and they were all, like you mentioned, John,

0:37:32.160 --> 0:37:34.359
<v Speaker 1>in that range, like ten of the eleven or something

0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:36.279
<v Speaker 1>like that. We're from that range, so or whatever, the

0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:38.440
<v Speaker 1>number was a high percentage of it came from that

0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:40.840
<v Speaker 1>outside the red zone areas. A good point there. I

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 1>have a follow up question for you on that is,

0:37:43.080 --> 0:37:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, one of the things I talked about before

0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:47.399
<v Speaker 1>I brought you on, John was that this team, they're

0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:49.440
<v Speaker 1>close to finding ways to you know, win games at

0:37:49.440 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 1>the end, but they just haven't been able to do

0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:53.920
<v Speaker 1>that so far. Is finishing games and and learning how

0:37:53.960 --> 0:37:56.239
<v Speaker 1>to finish in games? Is that a learned skill? Like?

0:37:56.320 --> 0:37:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Is that something they can they can kind of grow

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:01.280
<v Speaker 1>and develop into it is? I think it's all about

0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 1>execution and confidence. I think when you get in those positions,

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the more times you can you can be successful, The

0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:12.360
<v Speaker 1>more times you can have a drive or an explosive

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:15.840
<v Speaker 1>play end in a touchdown, the more confidence you have

0:38:15.960 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 1>of you can do that with more regularity. And I

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:21.000
<v Speaker 1>think it's it's one of those things that has to

0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:23.480
<v Speaker 1>happen for the Dolphins to get over that hurdle of

0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:26.239
<v Speaker 1>that homp or that that stigma of not being able

0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 1>to score once they crossed the torny yard line, at

0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:31.520
<v Speaker 1>least not score touchdowns. You have to do it. It's

0:38:31.640 --> 0:38:33.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a learned trait you have to be able to

0:38:34.360 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 1>get in. I think the Dolphins did that, you know,

0:38:37.200 --> 0:38:41.200
<v Speaker 1>last Thursday night against Jacksonville, much lesser opponent, but still

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:43.520
<v Speaker 1>they were able to execute and they were able to

0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:45.960
<v Speaker 1>get people open. They had wide windows to throw to

0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 1>on a slant to Williams on a corner to Kassuki.

0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:52.520
<v Speaker 1>They were they were able to find matchups to exploit

0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:55.839
<v Speaker 1>and take advantage of. And I think today the competition

0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:58.560
<v Speaker 1>definitely rose a little bit in terms of the caliber

0:38:58.600 --> 0:39:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of defense in terms of each individual player. But I

0:39:01.719 --> 0:39:03.759
<v Speaker 1>just don't think they didn't They didn't win those one

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:07.319
<v Speaker 1>on one battles, nor did they give themselves an opportunity

0:39:07.360 --> 0:39:10.759
<v Speaker 1>to maybe get into a different type of play that

0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that really put the spotlight on a six six, six,

0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:16.080
<v Speaker 1>five or six three guy going up for a jump

0:39:16.120 --> 0:39:20.640
<v Speaker 1>ball or on a pick play getting the right outcome

0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that they were looking for, and uh pressure in the pocket,

0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:27.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, and the inability to Travis. I think it's

0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:29.279
<v Speaker 1>important that the Dolphins have to find a way to

0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:31.799
<v Speaker 1>run the football if they're going to choose to do

0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:34.960
<v Speaker 1>so more effectively in the red zone and not allow

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:37.800
<v Speaker 1>um contact behind the line of scrimmage. That kind of

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:39.680
<v Speaker 1>set you back and kind of gets that, oh no,

0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:42.359
<v Speaker 1>here we go again, feeling Yeah. The big third down

0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:44.200
<v Speaker 1>three play the Miles gas and I think really changed

0:39:44.239 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 1>the course of the game because he picks up two

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:48.400
<v Speaker 1>yards there third and one. You know, you probably are

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:50.000
<v Speaker 1>fourth and one, mother, you maybe you have a different

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:52.640
<v Speaker 1>outcome there, So good point there, John. Take away number

0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:56.160
<v Speaker 1>three from you is what I just thought. There were

0:39:56.200 --> 0:40:00.879
<v Speaker 1>two parts of the game that struck me that were

0:40:01.000 --> 0:40:05.000
<v Speaker 1>very important. The breakdown before halftime and then the dolphins

0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:07.960
<v Speaker 1>ability not being able in the fourth quarter when they

0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:10.839
<v Speaker 1>got the twenty nine yard field goal. Uh they had

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to settle for three, and you mentioned the gas can

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:16.760
<v Speaker 1>run gets him down to you know, the three yard line,

0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:18.880
<v Speaker 1>and then they get a tackle for lost and I

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:21.000
<v Speaker 1>thought they should have rolled the dice there and maybe

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:24.160
<v Speaker 1>gone forward. So I'm gonna say that there was a

0:40:24.200 --> 0:40:28.560
<v Speaker 1>bit of a breakdown before halftime. That's my takeaway. You know,

0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the score should have been uh ten nine, maybe going

0:40:32.120 --> 0:40:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a halftime and set of seventeen nine. And even though

0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:38.280
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins came out and was stood a long drive

0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:41.200
<v Speaker 1>with an interception by Xavian Howard in the end zone

0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and they turned that around into points another field goal.

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:47.840
<v Speaker 1>But I just thought that going into halftime, after giving

0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:51.520
<v Speaker 1>up points with only twenty four seconds remaining before you

0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:54.120
<v Speaker 1>get to halftime, and then that long drive coming out,

0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:56.839
<v Speaker 1>that here we go again type of feeling. They put

0:40:56.840 --> 0:41:00.239
<v Speaker 1>a stop to it. But that's that's almost seven. It's

0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:02.960
<v Speaker 1>off the clock on that drive where you can't get

0:41:02.960 --> 0:41:06.239
<v Speaker 1>it back and in you're a team that's settling for

0:41:06.320 --> 0:41:08.440
<v Speaker 1>field goals. That's going to catch up to you at

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:10.719
<v Speaker 1>some point in the game. And I think it caught

0:41:10.760 --> 0:41:13.120
<v Speaker 1>up to the Miami Dolphins. So I just thought that

0:41:13.480 --> 0:41:16.719
<v Speaker 1>that momentum before halftime and then not being able to

0:41:16.719 --> 0:41:21.720
<v Speaker 1>to get it in after the Howard interception um somewhere

0:41:21.719 --> 0:41:23.719
<v Speaker 1>along those lines. Something had to go different for the

0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins to win the game. John. We've done three of

0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:28.080
<v Speaker 1>these so far. The one we didn't do the Dolphins

0:41:28.080 --> 0:41:31.000
<v Speaker 1>were victorious onto maybe we are the bad luck in

0:41:31.080 --> 0:41:34.719
<v Speaker 1>three weeks. There you go, but hopefully we're doing this

0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:37.480
<v Speaker 1>next Sunday after a win in San Francisco. John, appreciate

0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:39.480
<v Speaker 1>your time tonight, Aman, uh and uh we'll we'll do

0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:42.120
<v Speaker 1>it all over again one week from tonight. Thanks you too,

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:44.560
