Speaker 1: To on the Move, Darling Deep Speedways, Peace Hell.
Speaker 2: From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1: This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's gone my ad
Speaker 1: hands in the playoffs?
Speaker 2: What is up Dolphins? And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.
Speaker 2: I am your host, Travis Wingfield, And on today's show,
Speaker 2: I don't care what your thoughts are about how the
Speaker 2: season's gone so far, how you view this potential playoff
Speaker 2: push down the stretch.
Speaker 1: It is Jets Week, the goddamn Jets.
Speaker 2: That's right, Frankenstein. The gd Jets are in town. And
Speaker 2: if you can't get up for Jets Week, then I
Speaker 2: don't want to know about you. We're gonna preview this
Speaker 2: game top to bottom and tell you how the Dolphins
Speaker 2: are gonna roll. Gang Green comes Sunday from the Baptist
Speaker 2: Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is
Speaker 2: it is the Draft Time Podcast. Yea couple of.
Speaker 1: Things off the top.
Speaker 2: So number one, as you probably heard this morning already,
Speaker 2: the Dolphins Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee is
Speaker 2: none other than alec Ingold. I think he has a
Speaker 2: chance to win the damn thing. We'll be keeping a
Speaker 2: close eye on that. I also have a pick for
Speaker 2: the game tonight. We're gonna do the week fourteen picks
Speaker 2: tomorrow on the show, but tonight is maybe the best
Speaker 2: Thursday game of the entire year. I will take the
Speaker 2: Lions over the Packers. I think it's the Lions year.
Speaker 2: I think if I had to adjust my Super Bowl
Speaker 2: pick right now, I'd probably go Lions and Bills. Pretty chalky.
Speaker 2: I think I would take the Lions to win that game.
Speaker 2: So we'll see they're gonna play. Those two teams are
Speaker 2: gonna play here in a couple of weeks. But I'm
Speaker 2: taking the Lions over the Packers. But man, how good
Speaker 2: is the NFC North with Green Bay, Detroit, and Minnesota
Speaker 2: all at nine or more wins?
Speaker 1: Crazy crazy year this year.
Speaker 2: But let's go ahead and get back to the AFC
Speaker 2: East and the battle of the two potential Super Bowl
Speaker 2: preseason picks that flamed out in kind of from around
Speaker 2: way and before that, real quick, I just want to
Speaker 2: point out to a tongue of I Loows Wednesday press
Speaker 2: conference where he acknowledged that he felt he left his
Speaker 2: guys out to dry by making the decision he made
Speaker 2: back in Week two against the Buffalo Bills and kind
Speaker 2: of took the onus for some of those losses during
Speaker 2: that one and three stretch. And yeah, Oose, if you
Speaker 2: were healthy, I think we go four to ozer during
Speaker 2: that stretch. And I think you're eight and four and
Speaker 2: you are feeling very good about this football team as
Speaker 2: it is right now.
Speaker 1: But I digress.
Speaker 2: We'll get back there next year, hopefully when one stays
Speaker 2: healthy the entire year, and hopefully that's coming off of
Speaker 2: the heels of a third consecutive trip to the postseason,
Speaker 2: as the Dolphins looked to him mount a five game
Speaker 2: winning streak and make that happen.
Speaker 1: And it starts this week against.
Speaker 2: The goddamn Checks And I for one cannot wait. So
Speaker 2: Week fourteen, hard Rock Stadium for a one o'clock kickoff
Speaker 2: on CBS. The weather's going to be perfect, guys, seventy
Speaker 2: eight degrees. They're supposed to be up to ten to
Speaker 2: fifteen mile an hour win gus but nothing substantial, no rain,
Speaker 2: partly cloudy, A beautiful day here as we are in
Speaker 2: the midst right now. A cold front which gets your
Speaker 2: north faces and your mittens and your snow boots out
Speaker 2: because it's been in the sixties all week.
Speaker 1: It even gets into the fifties at nighttime.
Speaker 2: So please keep us South Floridians in your tea's and
Speaker 2: ps as we try to get through this difficult, difficult time.
Speaker 2: But Sunday it's going to be back to being perfect
Speaker 2: December South Florida weather. Let's go ahead and meet the Jets.
Speaker 2: The Jets, the Stiege. I hate these guys, man, I
Speaker 2: hate this team so very much. No matter how bad
Speaker 2: it gets. As a Dolphins fan, at least you always
Speaker 2: have Jets misery. And this is probably the team as
Speaker 2: we kick off our intro that you need the least
Speaker 2: amount of intro four. I feel like we all we
Speaker 2: did was talk Jets all off season, and now here
Speaker 2: we are for our first game against Aaron Rodgers in
Speaker 2: nearly two years that he's been with the team, and
Speaker 2: it comes off the heels of a season where he
Speaker 2: played just four snaps. Do you think the Jets this
Speaker 2: year will get more wins than snaps played last year
Speaker 2: by Rogers? They went seven to ten last year and
Speaker 2: now they're out to a three and nine start this season,
Speaker 2: and this is the kind of year that causes them
Speaker 2: to the Jets killed Carl and the way this year
Speaker 2: is gone there probably killing a lot more people too,
Speaker 2: because they are terrible, and you know the story before,
Speaker 2: you know, Rogers got there before even Zach Wilson. They
Speaker 2: bottomed out in twenty twenty. They won a couple of
Speaker 2: games down the stretch that year, in a game that
Speaker 2: they should have just given to the Rams, and they
Speaker 2: could have gotten Trevor Lawrence, who maybe Lawrence's career gets
Speaker 2: off to a different start than it has so far
Speaker 2: if he's in New York, and they would have had
Speaker 2: a franchise quarterback and they could have avoided paying a
Speaker 2: guy to come in there and run the entire operation
Speaker 2: from the quarterback position in Aaron Rodgers. But they wind
Speaker 2: up with Zach Wilson, who went down as maybe the
Speaker 2: biggest bust in NFL draft history, alongside JaMarcus Russell and
Speaker 2: Ryan Leaf. And you know, he's no longer with a team,
Speaker 2: And it's just proof, I think the way this Jets
Speaker 2: team has played out the last five years of how
Speaker 2: hard it is to build a team to get them
Speaker 2: to come together at the exact same time. Because those
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson years produced seven and eight win years while
Speaker 2: the passing offense was literally setting marks all time lows
Speaker 2: for EPA per drop back from the quarterback position. But
Speaker 2: now the defense has taken the step back, which if
Speaker 2: you're a Drive Time listener, you know that two years
Speaker 2: is about the max you can expect from an elite
Speaker 2: defense on a back to back consecutive basis. Look at
Speaker 2: the Ravens this year after last year, Look at the
Speaker 2: Chiefs this year. It's not been as good. It's been good,
Speaker 2: but not as good. It's just tough to do that.
Speaker 2: And the offense has been marginally better, easier to sustain
Speaker 2: success on that side of the ball. But they were
Speaker 2: hoping those two things would clash together. Elite defense and
Speaker 2: you drop in an elite quarterback who surprise is not
Speaker 2: elite quarterback at age forty one, coming out an Achilles injury,
Speaker 2: and that just hasn't happened at all. In fact, it's
Speaker 2: reset them back behind the eight ball further than where
Speaker 2: they were probably when they made that twenty twenty one
Speaker 2: draft class happen.
Speaker 1: But you know how this team was built. It's you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like doing the bills.
Speaker 2: You don't have to get the refresher here now next
Speaker 2: year with a new GM and head coach, they will
Speaker 2: require some catching up in this section, but not this year,
Speaker 2: as we are pretty certain they'll go in a different
Speaker 2: direction than Jeff Olbrick, who was one and six since
Speaker 2: taking over for Robert Salah who was two and three
Speaker 2: when he left that building Jets offense in the scheme.
Speaker 2: I think a major contributing factor to the Jets struggles
Speaker 2: has been the inability to run the football, paired with
Speaker 2: an offense that takes a lot of time and reps
Speaker 2: to really perfect. I mean, let's call it what it is.
Speaker 2: It's the Aaron Rodgers offense. It's a series of high
Speaker 2: level side adjustments that is communicated through hands, signals and
Speaker 2: familiarity with each other. Hence why I think the belief
Speaker 2: that DeVante Adams would come in and make an major
Speaker 2: impact right away was kind of a farccle approach. But
Speaker 2: I don't think you've I think you've seen the lack
Speaker 2: of chemistry even as recently as last week, like there
Speaker 2: was a missed wide open room service lay up touchdown
Speaker 2: to Garrett Wilson and Rogers. Aaron mells it by about
Speaker 2: four steps. They have a lot of options and the
Speaker 2: aforementioned site adjustments. I just don't think everybody is playing
Speaker 2: convicted within what they see and how they adjust on
Speaker 2: the fly. You get a lot of routes that come
Speaker 2: back to the quarterback. That is a one oh one
Speaker 2: rule breaking procedure for an offense. For me, I don't
Speaker 2: want stagnant round to the guys standing still. I want
Speaker 2: them to be running towards the goal line or towards
Speaker 2: the sideline when they catch the football. I think a
Speaker 2: lot of that belief is that Aaron will see it
Speaker 2: and play on time, and then if he's not there,
Speaker 2: there's just not a lot of ability to create because well,
Speaker 2: you have to keep eight healthy, right we saw how
Speaker 2: last year went down. But also just the design of
Speaker 2: that offense, like it's not designed really cohesively to maximize
Speaker 2: spacing and to create conflict to open up routes on
Speaker 2: the offense. There's there's not a professional play design. Like
Speaker 2: Todd Downing took over the play calling for net for
Speaker 2: Nat Hackett, but he's called we're calling him Nat by
Speaker 2: the way. I mean, yeah, that's what That's what you're
Speaker 2: always gonna get. That's why Rogers flamed out in Green
Speaker 2: Bay with you know Matt Lafleur and Mike McCarthy before that.
Speaker 2: By structure, it's seventy percent eleven personnel, twenty percent twelve personnel,
Speaker 2: and the rest goes to thirteen and twenty one, So
Speaker 2: pretty common NFL deployment with the fullback use in there,
Speaker 2: with plenty of tie end usage. They've been substantially better
Speaker 2: versus zone than man coverage this year, and I think
Speaker 2: that goes back the site adjustment comment, where it's just
Speaker 2: easier to spot throw than it is to throw guys open,
Speaker 2: which is funny because that's like the primary basis of
Speaker 2: their offense, but they haven't played that way this year.
Speaker 2: How to attack them a quick spoiler. The first key
Speaker 2: is going to be a stop their early down running game,
Speaker 2: and quite frankly, that's what most teams have done against
Speaker 2: them in those nine losses. And they'll mix it up
Speaker 2: with gap and zone runs and different variations of the
Speaker 2: zone running game, but man, they have really struggled at
Speaker 2: the point of a tech, particularly off the edge at
Speaker 2: the tight end position. I think you can accomplish this
Speaker 2: by playing lots of bass, which could bode well for
Speaker 2: you if you don't have cater Kohu, but also getting
Speaker 2: your dogs, you know, Seler and Campbell on the edge,
Speaker 2: like they've done so many times this year playing that
Speaker 2: five technique position. We've seen them both have success out there.
Speaker 2: I think this is a game where they could replicate
Speaker 2: that look from a defensive structure standpoint. I'd also call
Speaker 2: on a good mix of man coverage with Ramsey and
Speaker 2: if Fuller comes back in that regard as well. Obviously,
Speaker 2: the aforementioned Seiler and Campbell off the edge means more
Speaker 2: DeShawn Hand and Benito Jones inside. But as far as
Speaker 2: the Jets go, like you know, they have really struggled
Speaker 2: to communicate upfront, and so I think we see the
Speaker 2: typical you know, Anthony Weaver blitz and sim pressure looks.
Speaker 2: I think you could get some double clutches and then
Speaker 2: once you collapse the pocket, Rogers is not going to
Speaker 2: run around and create and you don't have to worry about,
Speaker 2: you know, flushing him outside of the pocket sideways because
Speaker 2: he doesn't have the ability to.
Speaker 1: Burn you that way.
Speaker 2: If you win enough in the early downs, you're gonna
Speaker 2: get your third down ops, and I think plenty of
Speaker 2: sacks are there to be had if you get those
Speaker 2: third down ops. Let's go ahead and get right into
Speaker 2: the Jets offense. The big three Number one. We already
Speaker 2: told you what was going to be shut down the
Speaker 2: early down running game. So the Jets running offense that's
Speaker 2: not dissimilar to ours in terms of how they want
Speaker 2: to start and unfold things from there. A lot of
Speaker 2: outside zone. The stresses your conditioning, your ability to set
Speaker 2: edges and then unfurl the passing game from there. But
Speaker 2: they've struggled with that for a handful of reasons. First,
Speaker 2: they might not have Breeze Hall in this game. He
Speaker 2: didn't practice on Wednesday after leaving Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Speaker 2: They've really struggled the most on the edges, particularly with
Speaker 2: the ancillary pieces like your y tight end, your f
Speaker 2: and your receivers on crackbacks. You Day one Locked on
Speaker 2: listeners will remember this. My buddy Joe Blewett, who I
Speaker 2: used to do work with on the old AFC East Bros.
Speaker 1: Podcast.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Kyle and Gary Smith wherever you guys
Speaker 2: are these days. But Joe has a real of them
Speaker 2: losing the point of attack strong side or losing contain
Speaker 2: on the backside from that tight end position and allowing
Speaker 2: a backdoor pursuit defender to cut down those plays early
Speaker 2: in the development of the play. It's been a problem
Speaker 2: for them all year long, especially for a team that
Speaker 2: lives in as much twelve, twenty one and thirteen personnel,
Speaker 2: that has multiple backs or tight ends on the field
Speaker 2: at a given time as frequently as they run that
Speaker 2: those formations. And then you have an offensive line that,
Speaker 2: I think, through injuries this season but also changes in
Speaker 2: the offseason, they've never really had the chance to settle
Speaker 2: in and gel as one cohesive unit. Like gosh, offensive
Speaker 2: line continuity is such an important I think I might
Speaker 2: say it's as or maybe even more important than the
Speaker 2: individual collection of talent that you have. They've gotten twelve
Speaker 2: games from their center Joe Tipman and their left guard
Speaker 2: John Simpson, who was a decent free agent signing. But
Speaker 2: they got ten games from their right guard Elijah Vera Tucker,
Speaker 2: which is more than he's ever given them, and nine
Speaker 2: games from each of their tackles in Tyron Smith and
Speaker 2: Morgan Moses. So there's been some shuffling at pretty much
Speaker 2: every spot, as everybody on the team has missed a game.
Speaker 2: Besides Tipman and or No. Yeah, they're three to nine
Speaker 2: twelve games. Yeah, so Tipman and Simpson have not missed
Speaker 2: a game, but those the tackles in the right guard
Speaker 2: have all missed games at different times, so they've had
Speaker 2: to shuffle that lineup. And one of those guys right
Speaker 2: now is currently down in Tyron Smith, So it's Olufashan,
Speaker 2: who had left tackle, the rookie from Penn State. So
Speaker 2: really they're as healthy as anybody, because that's the only
Speaker 2: opening day start that's down right now is Tyron Smith
Speaker 2: and maybe Breeze Hall. But I think Breecee's on his
Speaker 2: way towards a backup role at some point in this league.
Speaker 2: But I think that Braylan Allen is right there in
Speaker 2: terms of his talent. And that's not a way of
Speaker 2: propping Braylan Allen up as much as it is kind
Speaker 2: of denigrating Breeze Hall's skill set, because I watched him
Speaker 2: a couple times this year and he looks slow and
Speaker 2: not a good decision maker, and I just I don't
Speaker 2: see it there with that player. But the final part
Speaker 2: of the run game struggle is the consequence of having
Speaker 2: a forty one year old quarterback off major surgery, there's
Speaker 2: not going to be a lot of moving around for him,
Speaker 2: and the ability to bootleg off those outside zone runs
Speaker 2: makes life so much more difficult because there's not as
Speaker 2: much of a need to contain backside, so the defense
Speaker 2: can get an extra hat in the fit and not
Speaker 2: be all that concerned about the quarterback keeping it naked
Speaker 2: out the other direction. So when I look at the fins,
Speaker 2: I think about getting Seeler and Campbell on the edge
Speaker 2: to beat up their tied end and left tackle combination,
Speaker 2: but also to put pressure on Rogers' backside, his blind side,
Speaker 2: and then the speed of Chop Robinson against their right
Speaker 2: tackle Morgan Moses, who's a good player, but if there's
Speaker 2: one thing he struggles with it is speed.
Speaker 1: What does Chop have?
Speaker 2: Plenty of speed? So I think that Chop is set
Speaker 2: for a big game here as well as Zach.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 2: Those are my two big clicks to pick click to
Speaker 2: picks on We'll get it right clicks to pick picks
Speaker 2: to click. There it is on defense with Sealer and
Speaker 2: Chop gone.
Speaker 1: Damn Jets.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I had to throw that in there to break
Speaker 2: up the monotony of me struggling to say picks to
Speaker 2: click my second big key against the Jets, and this
Speaker 2: is more about us.
Speaker 1: It's me, it's not you.
Speaker 2: Classic breakup tactic, tactic is tackling again. It's twofold, but
Speaker 2: I just think we need a bounce back effort. This
Speaker 2: is a nutcutting game, as OJ McDuffie would call it
Speaker 2: in terms, But I want I need to see who
Speaker 2: can prove that last week was a fluke compared to
Speaker 2: what's the norm for Well, I guess it hasn't been
Speaker 2: the norm for this defense. But they have to find
Speaker 2: a way to get back to toughness and tackling and
Speaker 2: setting the tone on defense. You can't miss seventeen or
Speaker 2: twenty or twenty three tackles, whatever it was. I've seen
Speaker 2: that number multiple different times at different numbers from different publications.
Speaker 2: But Next Gen had it at seventeen, so I will
Speaker 2: go with that number. But this is like you know again,
Speaker 2: it's it's not me, it's you.
Speaker 1: Category.
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the fundamentals. Let's get back to
Speaker 2: bringing our feet. You heard that was a common thread
Speaker 2: this week in press conferences from McDaniel, from Seeler, from
Speaker 2: Chop Robinson, all the defenders that I've talked to in
Speaker 2: media Availabilies this week said we have to bring our feet,
Speaker 2: which is, you know, technique and fundamentals, bring your feet
Speaker 2: through the tackle. And of course it's not going to
Speaker 2: be as cold or a slippery on the surface, so
Speaker 2: that probably helps as well.
Speaker 1: But let's let's get it right there.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mentioned, you know, Jordan Brooks on the
Speaker 2: All twenty two podcast, and I think Kyle Kyle Krabs
Speaker 2: tweeted about, you know how he wasn't just you know,
Speaker 2: talking to talk, he walked the walk because I thought
Speaker 2: he really brought the toughness and played sixty minutes in
Speaker 2: that Packers game and then had the comments that he
Speaker 2: made in the locker room after the fact. And that's
Speaker 2: why I was so big on that signing, on top
Speaker 2: of all the physical traits that he brought to the position.
Speaker 2: But you know, guys like him that really stood out
Speaker 2: on the All twenty two pod, leave the charge, be
Speaker 2: the guy, be the one that is, you know earns
Speaker 2: that captain c next year, Guys like Zach Seeler and
Speaker 2: Kalais Campbell. And let's go back to the Patriots game
Speaker 2: where the tempo, the the like the temperature that you
Speaker 2: set was a really good early tone, and you carried
Speaker 2: it throughout the course of the game. I wouldn't just
Speaker 2: toss this in here independent of the opponent, like I
Speaker 2: wouldn't just do that. I still contend it's an US thing.
Speaker 2: Let's prove it to ourselves. But this is in the copy.
Speaker 2: Because of Braylan Allen, his role has reduced. I was
Speaker 2: actually surprised to see this going back over the last
Speaker 2: few weeks because I watched like every Jets game for
Speaker 2: the first seven or eight games or so and have
Speaker 2: not been as in tune to them the last couple
Speaker 2: of weeks. I did watch the whole Seahawks game just
Speaker 2: to get a taste of what they're doing now. But
Speaker 2: he was used early on in the passing game. It
Speaker 2: has kind of taken a back seat to Breeze Hall
Speaker 2: for whatever reason. He averages just three point six yards
Speaker 2: per carry, but he is a big dude who can
Speaker 2: run behind his pads. Sometimes he doesn't run as big
Speaker 2: as he is, which is like the ultimate knock I
Speaker 2: can put on running back of that size, and he
Speaker 2: averages just three point six yards per carry and just
Speaker 2: two point nine to one yards after initial contact. But
Speaker 2: there were some tackling postures in that game where if
Speaker 2: they bring that to Braylen Allen, you're gonna get your
Speaker 2: butt run over.
Speaker 1: So don't do that.
Speaker 2: And just for posterity, Breeze Hall has twenty seven enforced
Speaker 2: miss tackles at three point one nine yards after contact,
Speaker 2: so he is not any easier of a tackle if
Speaker 2: he plays in this game. First break right there, We'll
Speaker 2: come back and do the final key against the Jets offense.
Speaker 2: Then we'll do the Dolphins offense against the Jets defense.
Speaker 2: What's stake, range of predictions, keys of the game. All
Speaker 2: of that coming your way here on the Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 2: your host Travis Wingfield, brought.
Speaker 1: To you by AutoNation.
Speaker 2: So I clipped off the curb your Enthusiasm and the
Speaker 2: Big Daddy cut ups there for the Jets. There's lots
Speaker 2: of like pop culture references to the Jets, which I
Speaker 2: enjoy because it's always talking crap about them. I tried
Speaker 2: to find the clip from Big Daddy when he goes
Speaker 2: like this guy, for instance, hey buddy, who won the
Speaker 2: Jets game? And he goes who cares? And he goes, hey,
Speaker 2: it's not your fault, buddy, And Maddie your dad, not me.
Speaker 2: I forgive you, Yeah, I am. I hate my father.
Speaker 2: I tried to find that clip, but there's not a
Speaker 2: good one of it. The only ones that exist on
Speaker 2: YouTube are like people that recorded their TV from their phone,
Speaker 2: and we're not about that poor audio quality here on
Speaker 2: the Draft Time podcast. So you got my version of it,
Speaker 2: not the clip of Big Daddy for that version. The
Speaker 2: third big key to stopping this Jets Mundane Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: let attack is the Marquee matchup part one and then
Speaker 2: part two with our offense against their defense. The Marquie
Speaker 2: matchup will be Tyreek and Waddle versus those Jets cornerbacks.
Speaker 2: So that's another spoiler for you here in segment two.
Speaker 2: But point one is about DeVante Adams and Garrett Wilson
Speaker 2: versus Jalen Ramsey and Kendall Fuller, who should play in
Speaker 2: the game on Sunday. I saw him practice on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: albeit in a red medical non contact jersey, but I
Speaker 2: imagine he will get removed from protocol by the end
Speaker 2: of the week. I know their offense has been up
Speaker 2: and down and struggled, and they stink and they can't
Speaker 2: get lined up, and their offenses archaic and they don't
Speaker 2: have a good.
Speaker 1: Quarterback and the offense it's just bad. It's really bad.
Speaker 2: But you can pull up individual reps and see like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's what they were going for. That was the thinking there.
Speaker 2: There is some remnants of a Hall of Fame quarterback
Speaker 2: inside that guy. There are some of game breaking receivers
Speaker 2: in those guys. And what I think their best at
Speaker 2: is in flight adjustments. No pun intendant for the Jets
Speaker 2: there go figure, but Rogers he has no problem like
Speaker 2: trying to throw guys open, and that's been their most
Speaker 2: successful play is like third and medium back shoulder conversion
Speaker 2: or it's the go come back back shoulder conversion option
Speaker 2: where you if you play him without safety help, it's
Speaker 2: typically to the X receiver to the boundary the short
Speaker 2: side of the field. They'll go after that matchup and
Speaker 2: they'll show a vertical release and once the quarterback dictates,
Speaker 2: you know, his his hip flip and declares where he's
Speaker 2: going to try to sprint to, they will get that
Speaker 2: cornerback out of phase and then Rogers will throw that
Speaker 2: thing back shoulder, and both Adams and Garrett Wilson are
Speaker 2: very good at adjusting to the back shoulder ball, and
Speaker 2: Alan Mazard was this year too, but he's down right now.
Speaker 2: So it'll be imperative for Ramsey to play physically up
Speaker 2: the stem, for Fuller to find his way into the
Speaker 2: proper position to make those big plays, because I think
Speaker 2: that he doesn't really have the body composition to make
Speaker 2: that physical matchup the way Ramsey does. And it's the
Speaker 2: same on the interior for Cater when he gets the matchups,
Speaker 2: or for Storm Duck on the perimeter. If Cater cannot
Speaker 2: go and we have to go three cornerbacks with Cater's
Speaker 2: or rather storm Duck is the third is by the way,
Speaker 2: camp Smith back on ir might have seen his last
Speaker 2: game as a Miami Dolphin.
Speaker 1: We'll see about that going forward.
Speaker 2: But if you get those looks, you're gonna have to
Speaker 2: find a way to match up on those guys physically.
Speaker 2: I actually might like Duck more on the outside than
Speaker 2: I do Fuller and have Fuller kick in for some
Speaker 2: slot roles in that position, so it's something to keep
Speaker 2: an eye on. I think it's important to play with
Speaker 2: the mindset of disruption at the line of scrimmage and
Speaker 2: remain physical without getting grabby down the stem. You cannot
Speaker 2: give these guys free access. They have struggled all year
Speaker 2: with their timing, but don't let them find it by
Speaker 2: playing passive and letting them dictate the terms in terms
Speaker 2: of where they want the football to go. If you
Speaker 2: do that with what I discussed in the earlier points,
Speaker 2: I think you free up some ability to create some
Speaker 2: splash plays on defense, to get some takeaways, and give
Speaker 2: the offense some short fields and take control of this game.
Speaker 2: When have we gotten short fields for the offense? We
Speaker 2: had one against the Raiders and it was a twenty
Speaker 2: five a twenty three, No, twenty five yard to play
Speaker 2: touchdown drive. I'm trying to think when else do we
Speaker 2: get short fields? Like maybe in the Rams game we
Speaker 2: had a couple. We scored on those. We just don't
Speaker 2: do it enough. The Seahawks game, got the ball at
Speaker 2: the four yard line and couldn't score on that one.
Speaker 2: Got to find a way to get short fields, and
Speaker 2: we don't do that ever anymore. Back in like twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: we got short fields all the damn time.
Speaker 1: That was fun.
Speaker 2: I want some short fields additional parts of their offense.
Speaker 2: Tyler Conklin is their best tight end. That's a fun
Speaker 2: matchup for Jordan Brooks, who I think can dominate it.
Speaker 2: But if it gets to the point of Javon Holland
Speaker 2: or Tyrrel Dotson, who made some serious business decisions on
Speaker 2: Thursday night against the Packers, I don't like it as much.
Speaker 1: Against those guys.
Speaker 2: They have struggled to find that third replacement for Alan Bazard.
Speaker 2: It's kind of been Malik kind of Corley, a guy
Speaker 2: that I was kind of high on in the draft process,
Speaker 2: but he hasn't worked out at all this year for them.
Speaker 2: He's basically a gadget play right now, jet sweeps and
Speaker 2: screen games. So if you can take out Adams and Wilson,
Speaker 2: this offense will do absolutely nothing against you. And let's
Speaker 2: just you know, shout out the return because one, we
Speaker 2: can't defend anybody in a special team game. But they
Speaker 2: also had a kickoff return for a touchdown. They also
Speaker 2: had two takeaways on special teams last week. I mean
Speaker 2: tells you how bad they are. Right, if we ever
Speaker 2: got a special team's touchdown and two takeaways, we would
Speaker 2: win that game by thirty points. But they still lost
Speaker 2: that game. Xavier Gibson's the pump returner, and I don't
Speaker 2: know how to pronounce the same. We're gonna try it anyway,
Speaker 2: Kenny and Wongu. I don't know, dude, ninety nine yarder
Speaker 2: against the Seahawks on Sunday. Let's go ahead and pivot Pard,
Speaker 2: pivot to the Jets defense. Wait, Who's defense and gone,
Speaker 2: damn Jets. Thank you, Frankenstein. Let's go ahead and talk
Speaker 2: about the scheme first. Even with the coaching change, the
Speaker 2: principles remain the same. Speaking of principles, any of you
Speaker 2: guys watched Vice Principals starring Danny McBride and Walter Goggins.
Speaker 1: It's not like Eastbound and Down good.
Speaker 2: But it's pretty good. Anything Danny McBride does is really
Speaker 2: good for this Jets defense. You guys know the script here.
Speaker 2: It's Bob Sala's old defense with the Jeff olbrick you know,
Speaker 2: in charge of it now. But one gap penetration, play
Speaker 2: with your hair on fire. On the other side of
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage, we've got athletic, physical linebackers that
Speaker 2: can play downhill and get vertical backwards, and they want
Speaker 2: to dictate the terms on the outside and plays tons
Speaker 2: of press cover, one man, free man coverage across the bottom,
Speaker 2: single high safety taking care of the top. They run
Speaker 2: the most Cover one in football, behind only the Lions,
Speaker 2: so the second most is why it's meant to say
Speaker 2: that's basically they're only a man coverage. Look, they do
Speaker 2: not play two man. In fact, they play it tied
Speaker 2: for the lowest rate in the National Football League, it's
Speaker 2: below one percent. So I don't expect them to run
Speaker 2: the one coverage that has actually given us fits over
Speaker 2: the last three years. Maybe they do, Maybe they'll just
Speaker 2: and they'll play something different like a Bill Belichick defense
Speaker 2: would do, but I don't think they will. Now they
Speaker 2: do have a good mix of zone where it's an
Speaker 2: even blend of Cover three and quarters.
Speaker 1: What does that mean, Travis.
Speaker 2: Cover three is three high safeties, quarters is four high safeties,
Speaker 2: and you can get some different matching in there as well.
Speaker 1: There's always variations with those coverage.
Speaker 2: They also get to cover quite a lot, which actually
Speaker 2: will pull your backside corner back down into the flat
Speaker 2: and you'll rotate quarter quarter half where you have a
Speaker 2: deep defender in the deep half and then two more
Speaker 2: defenders in the deep quarter. So it's like a variation
Speaker 2: of Cover three, but it's actually Cover six so Tua
Speaker 2: and the boys have to be very adept at filtering
Speaker 2: between take what's there and attack mode because they will
Speaker 2: play man free and go press on the outside and
Speaker 2: with their third and short medium packages and they will
Speaker 2: get the blitz after you in that way too. So
Speaker 2: that's the challenge, just with the calibration between taking what's
Speaker 2: there with the defense gives us and taking our shots,
Speaker 2: because I think the shots are going to be there.
Speaker 2: They do blitz at twenty five percent clip, but if
Speaker 2: they do that against this quarterback, you're gonna get dice.
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't I don't expect to be that heavy.
Speaker 2: How to attack it, I think we kind of told
Speaker 2: you there, but to confirm, run the football, get it
Speaker 2: on the edge, get it on the perimeter, and for
Speaker 2: the corners to play both the man and the football
Speaker 2: on the edge like that's tough to do. So make
Speaker 2: sure you get that the running out there to test
Speaker 2: their man cover skills.
Speaker 1: And because if they take off.
Speaker 2: With Tyreek on a vertical route and we run the stretch,
Speaker 2: you know, a little stretch crack toss back against it.
Speaker 2: If they don't set a hard edge, you have to
Speaker 2: win a race with CJ Mo or not.
Speaker 1: CJ.
Speaker 2: Mosley with Quincy Williams and Devon A Chan. Who do
Speaker 2: you pick in that race?
Speaker 1: Every time?
Speaker 2: It's Devon ah Chan and then you have to win.
Speaker 2: When they go to their man, coverage looks to go
Speaker 2: vertical over the top of them. It's honestly, it's a
Speaker 2: great approach with the personnel they have, it makes sense.
Speaker 2: That's why they got, you know, three really good cornerbacks
Speaker 2: in tow there. They just don't see anybody like the
Speaker 2: Dolphins when they face them in terms of two guys
Speaker 2: that can beat you with that type of coverage or
Speaker 2: you know, any type of coverage from those two cornerbacks
Speaker 2: on any given play. So always a fun matchup the
Speaker 2: Big Three against the Jets defense. Number one is to
Speaker 2: run the ball wide. This is a I can copy
Speaker 2: and paste this from the game in September and twenty
Speaker 2: or from October twenty twenty two to here in December
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty four. It's been the same first key
Speaker 2: literally every game. You'll recall that as the game where
Speaker 2: Teddy Bridgewater was removed after like scraping his helmet on
Speaker 2: the Jets end zone for some reason, you know, and
Speaker 2: also getting tagged with an intentional grounding call that was
Speaker 2: actually not intentional grounding. I don't understand one way to
Speaker 2: pay the price against the Jets for what happened in
Speaker 2: that Bengals game.
Speaker 1: But I digress.
Speaker 2: And you know, we were in scoring range in that game,
Speaker 2: down by a point in the fourth quarter in Skyler
Speaker 2: Thompson's first career start, where he was the worst version
Speaker 2: of himself right, and we went for over one point
Speaker 2: fifty on the ground in that game with no threat
Speaker 2: of a passing game, and it was mostly primitive runs.
Speaker 2: All things told, in the four matchups against the Jets
Speaker 2: under Mike McDaniel, we average one hundred and thirty seven
Speaker 2: yards per game on the ground, and two of those
Speaker 2: games did not have one of the game's best quarterbacks
Speaker 2: who holds the defense's attention for the passing game, which
Speaker 2: is impressive to me. It's a stylistic thing you hear
Speaker 2: sometimes from analysts, like Team A is a good matchup
Speaker 2: for Team B, even if Team A is a superior team.
Speaker 2: It's because of things like this. Their scheme plays that
Speaker 2: one gap upfield, stress your gaps, try to get down
Speaker 2: the field and and force them into quick decisions. And
Speaker 2: our ability to mitigate that by getting those players out
Speaker 2: of their gaps with peer speed to the edge and
Speaker 2: getting the ball around the corner. It just bodes well
Speaker 2: when we can pin them in on those immediate penetration attempts.
Speaker 2: Doesn't hurt that they have two corners that have no
Speaker 2: interest in tackling in my opinion, and safeties who don't
Speaker 2: really come from depth all that well, like they'll they'll
Speaker 2: play in the box and they'll kind of dictate that
Speaker 2: from their pre snap alignments. Although Jalen Mills does some
Speaker 2: of that, but I don't think he's a great player
Speaker 2: at that position. And it's not just the Dolphins. The Jets'
Speaker 2: two highest rushing totals allowed this year. You know, they've
Speaker 2: allowed more than one hundred and fifty yards and two
Speaker 2: games the Bills had one to forty nine on them.
Speaker 2: A few weeks back, the Niners had one hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty yards on Opening Night without Christian McCaffrey, and the
Speaker 2: Texans had a buck eighty seven on Halloween.
Speaker 1: And the Texans can't run the ball on anybody.
Speaker 2: Any idea who those two play callers are, Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: they're Kyle Shanahan and Bobby Slowik two of the Shanahan
Speaker 2: tree offshoots and really the originator part one b behind
Speaker 2: Mike Shanahan, right, But I mean that's you know, those
Speaker 2: are two of the top play callers in the league.
Speaker 2: At least Slowik was in that conversation before this year,
Speaker 2: So you get the whole point. Now, this is a
Speaker 2: good test of where I feel like we're sorely lacking
Speaker 2: and where the run game has kind of gone away
Speaker 2: for the Dolphins, not kind of, it has totally gone away.
Speaker 2: Austin was a difference maker at right tackle and we've
Speaker 2: never really had a true why that was a true
Speaker 2: plus blocker in the running game. So I think that
Speaker 2: there's something to be said about getting that production without
Speaker 2: having that against the Jets. But it's still like near
Speaker 2: the very top of my offseason shopping list. So we
Speaker 2: also have only had Devon a Chan for nine carries
Speaker 2: in those four games. He had nine for thirty two
Speaker 2: in the December game last year, did not play in
Speaker 2: the Black Friday game. And he has become a true
Speaker 2: bellcal for us. He's receiver three.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: He's receiver three, and he's also running back number one
Speaker 2: with a pretty decent gap between he and the workload
Speaker 2: of Raheem Moster, and I think that his ability to
Speaker 2: get the ball on the edge with how this run
Speaker 2: defense kind of invites that I could see Devon making
Speaker 2: his fantasy honors very happy this weekend. I think runs
Speaker 2: off of Toront Armstead's side with those Aaron Brewer pulls
Speaker 2: out into space, Julian Hill on those rat blocks and
Speaker 2: our wide outs in the blocking game, I don't expect
Speaker 2: this game to be any different. My bold prediction here
Speaker 2: is that devan Achan has one hundred and fifty yards
Speaker 2: from scrimmage and scores twice and probably one of those
Speaker 2: in the passing game. Let's go ahead and take our
Speaker 2: last break right there after, a bold bold bull bull
Speaker 2: bull bold prediction, and come back and tell you the
Speaker 2: keys number two and three for the Dolphins offense against
Speaker 2: the Jets defense, as well as the range of outcomes,
Speaker 2: the prediction for the game, what's at stake, and the
Speaker 2: three keys, all of that. Next Drive Time podcast, your
Speaker 2: host Travis Wingfield right to you, back eronation, and that's
Speaker 2: about how I think this game is gonna go on Sunday.
Speaker 2: They never should have given me the skills to make
Speaker 2: sound drops because that's what you're gonna get. Let's go
Speaker 2: ahead and pick it back up with thing number two.
Speaker 2: I'm distracted here for the Dolphins offense against the Jets defense,
Speaker 2: and call it the pyrotechnics in because it might be
Speaker 2: time for some fireworks. I think this is the first
Speaker 2: defense that we will see that will present deep shot
Speaker 2: ops or one on one ops down the field in
Speaker 2: quite some time. Well, I guess the Patriots did some
Speaker 2: of that, but we kind of earned that those shots
Speaker 2: periodically against the Raiders and at Packers as well at times.
Speaker 2: But from the early commitment to the short game that
Speaker 2: brought those teams up a little bit. The Jets they
Speaker 2: know who they are, though, what their identity is, and
Speaker 2: how they play into that. They want to disrupt and
Speaker 2: challenge you, and they think their corners are all good
Speaker 2: enough to play man on any receiver in the league
Speaker 2: on any down distance in a game. Now, the reason
Speaker 2: I say we might be getting the fight song queued
Speaker 2: up even when we're at our own thirty yard line
Speaker 2: is twofold number one Sauce Gardner left last Sunday's game
Speaker 2: with the hamstring injury, and Jeff Oldbrooks that's too early
Speaker 2: to tell in his availability. He did not practice on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll run him out there, but at three and nine,
Speaker 2: I have to imagine there's a little bit less urgency
Speaker 2: to do so with one of your best players. And
Speaker 2: that coincides with a second point, and that it is
Speaker 2: that I will always take Reek and Wattle against anybody
Speaker 2: who wants to man them up. Put Deon Sanders and
Speaker 2: Derel Revas out there. I'm still going to try to
Speaker 2: hit my home runs with those two guys, provided they
Speaker 2: do not have safety help. So those things and Sauce
Speaker 2: coming off a hamstring, I mean, I cannot think of
Speaker 2: a worse injury to play with when you're facing Tyreek
Speaker 2: Hill and again when he's healthy.
Speaker 1: This is just their play style. You guys have seen
Speaker 1: it in the past. Here.
Speaker 2: You remember that Black Friday game last year. We had
Speaker 2: two third and shorts, one to start the game, one
Speaker 2: to start the second half of the game, and we
Speaker 2: hit him for big plays in those looks thirty five
Speaker 2: and thirty two yard completions from Tua to Reek and Wattle.
Speaker 2: Wattles on Sauce and Reeks was on DJ Reid in
Speaker 2: that game, and who could forget the sixty yard touchdown
Speaker 2: to Wattle overread in the shutout down here in December.
Speaker 2: They also condense those guys inside and play the slot
Speaker 2: one on one. I think Tua's best throw is the
Speaker 2: slot fade or the boundary takeoff, which is the short
Speaker 2: side of the field, kind of make that deep throw
Speaker 2: shorter for him. The big play Wattle made against the
Speaker 2: Patriots was a slot fade, the gorgeous touchdown on the
Speaker 2: slot fade in Detroit two years ago. To me, it's
Speaker 2: one of their best routes they throw together. They'll kick
Speaker 2: Michael Carter out to the perimeter and have those guys
Speaker 2: run with us if it's third and four, third and three,
Speaker 2: and they'll tilt help to the one side, so you
Speaker 2: can identify that and then find your ex fade or
Speaker 2: your slot fade against that one on one coverage. So
Speaker 2: I think you'll see that a few times and hopefully
Speaker 2: we hit one or two of them. I told one
Speaker 2: of our photographers here who's been dying to get some
Speaker 2: deep ball shots, I said, when it's third and three
Speaker 2: or third and four, that's when it's gonna happen. So
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that he can find one of those photos.
Speaker 2: And I cannot wait for it to happen and to
Speaker 2: celebrate with him on Monday. To top this off, I
Speaker 2: think this is a game where we will have to focus,
Speaker 2: are going to have to focus or will focus, I
Speaker 2: should say, on our backs and tight ends and trust
Speaker 2: their cornerbacks to win because that's how you structured your defense,
Speaker 2: like you have to do that to win. Both safeties
Speaker 2: are more box players. Jalen Mills is a converted cornerback
Speaker 2: who loves to play the slot and head hunt as
Speaker 2: a robber, and Chuck Clark is one of the better
Speaker 2: tacklers in the game, but he doesn't really do a
Speaker 2: lot in terms of his deep coverage and I think
Speaker 2: that his return has really added stability to that back then,
Speaker 2: but his game is again not going to run vertical
Speaker 2: with four to two guys. Mills missed the first part
Speaker 2: of the year and Clark just got back from a
Speaker 2: mid season injury, so I think that the communication could
Speaker 2: be worth keeping an eye on if they if they're all,
Speaker 2: you know, lock and key with that, especially with Sauce
Speaker 2: possibly being out. And look, I don't hate the pieces
Speaker 2: at all, but this just feels to me like a
Speaker 2: week where you had an emotional game coming off your
Speaker 2: bye week after a brutal start to the year. They
Speaker 2: were two and one and went three in eight. So
Speaker 2: they went one and seven over the next eight games.
Speaker 2: Had the bye week a chance to kind of like
Speaker 2: refresh and maybe do some new stuff and feel refreshed
Speaker 2: for lack of a returnment coming out of the bye week.
Speaker 2: And they got all those breaks and they still could
Speaker 2: not pull off the win. The season's over. The GM
Speaker 2: got fired, the coach got fired. Who are you trying
Speaker 2: to impress this year? Like the quarterback is probably gonna
Speaker 2: be gone. You get out of the New York weather,
Speaker 2: you come down here in December to Miami. I could
Speaker 2: see this being a vacation game for the Jets, their
Speaker 2: practice week and study, maybe not having full in ten,
Speaker 2: maybe some guys taking a couple of short cuts here
Speaker 2: and there. So I know that I already predicted it
Speaker 2: a big day for a cham So I won't go
Speaker 2: one hundred yards for both Wreak and Waddle, But let's
Speaker 2: just say this. Let's say let's call the bold prediction
Speaker 2: three pass plays of twenty five plus yards between those
Speaker 2: three guys, and I'll do you one more and say
Speaker 2: that one of those will go for fifty plus and
Speaker 2: that could be a run play as well. So that's
Speaker 2: kind of I expect explosive plays the Dolphins against a
Speaker 2: Jets defense that wants to play a certain way I
Speaker 2: think might not have their heads in the right place
Speaker 2: and is a little bit banged up on that backside.
Speaker 2: Number three, help on Q and Will McDonald when they're
Speaker 2: not on seventy two. This rush used to be comprised
Speaker 2: of a super deep rotation that moved guys in and out,
Speaker 2: kept them fresh, and just came with wave after wave
Speaker 2: until they broke you down late in games. See that
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two game back in New York. Hassan Reddick
Speaker 2: was their big ticket free agent and they swapped him
Speaker 2: out for Bryce Huff, and Reddick hasn't played well the
Speaker 2: entire year. He missed half the year for a holdout
Speaker 2: and has not produced since he came back. And Bryce
Speaker 2: Huff was their best pass rusher last year, So what
Speaker 2: a net loss that was. Quentin Jefferson and John Franklin
Speaker 2: Myers are both gone, but they still have impact players.
Speaker 2: It's just not as deep as it was in the past. Luckily,
Speaker 2: McDonald rushes almost exclusively off the offense's left and I'm
Speaker 2: good just keeping tea stead there.
Speaker 1: Say hey, you go cut him down and we'll commit.
Speaker 2: Doubles and chips inside on Quinn Williams because after a
Speaker 2: slow start, he's starting to look like the old Quinn
Speaker 2: Williams of dominant past. But this also tracks back to
Speaker 2: the first key. I think both of their play styles
Speaker 2: are part of what invites the run in this matchup,
Speaker 2: but when they get too obvious pass downs, you have
Speaker 2: to have an answer for these guys. Like Luckily, I
Speaker 2: think Brewer has really stabilized things and can essentially pick
Speaker 2: out which side that Q goes to, and then whichever
Speaker 2: guard he can help on when he rushes that guard,
Speaker 2: and then on runs with WAM action and split flow,
Speaker 2: you know all the stuff where you can get wide
Speaker 2: and you know leave upfield pound trailers unaccounted for. I
Speaker 2: think you can scheme him out of the game a
Speaker 2: little bit that way too. So big day for our
Speaker 2: two best upfront going up against their two best upfront,
Speaker 2: and Brewer and tistead on Quinn Williams and Will McDonald.
Speaker 2: I did not mention Brandon Eckles he would be the
Speaker 2: replacement for Sauce Gardner, and I actually think he's a
Speaker 2: starter in most places, just not in the Jets, where
Speaker 2: they have three good cornerbacks Javon kin Law and saw
Speaker 2: them and Thomas play a lot of snaps, but they're
Speaker 2: kind of like replacement level. Maybe Salomon Thomas a bit
Speaker 2: above replacement level. Jamie and Sherwood's a fun player to watch.
Speaker 2: He has allowed juice to his game. He replaced CJ.
Speaker 2: Mosley who's been down with Andrey for a while, and
Speaker 2: then Quincy Williams is one of the better chasing tackle
Speaker 2: backers in the league. So their speed and ability to
Speaker 2: extend that hook zone and matchup on John Hu and
Speaker 2: Ah Chan that's a big deal, especially if that's where
Speaker 2: their attention goes instead of helping the receivers, which means
Speaker 2: that Wreak and Waddle gonna have to win you a
Speaker 2: football game like they did last year. For instance, what's
Speaker 2: at stake? Lose and you're done. I mean, how depressing
Speaker 2: was is that thought? But how depressing was Week thirteen?
Speaker 2: Like my god, man, every damn game the team that
Speaker 2: needed to win should have won and did not win.
Speaker 2: The Browns, Falcons and Patriots should have won those freaking
Speaker 2: football games. And had they done that, I think that
Speaker 2: we could afford a loss, but not in this one.
Speaker 2: Either way, this game was never an option to lose.
Speaker 2: It's a must win. They stink we're at home. Get
Speaker 2: me to Houston, because I think if you can win
Speaker 2: that game, the run to ten wins becomes very, very
Speaker 2: very plausible. And if you do that, you're gonna get in.
Speaker 2: You can be scared of the Colt schedule.
Speaker 1: All you want. It is favorable. I'll give you that.
Speaker 2: But they needed the buzzer to beat the Patriots, to
Speaker 2: beat the Jets, they barely beat the Titans. They lost
Speaker 2: to the Jaguars. It's not a good football team. They're
Speaker 2: gonna lose again down the last four games of the season.
Speaker 2: And I bet you, I bet you this. I bet
Speaker 2: you the season comes down to us having to win
Speaker 2: a game in New York, provided we take care of
Speaker 2: business in Week eighteen, and needing a Broncos loss in
Speaker 2: Kansas City. How much do you want to bet me
Speaker 2: that's the scenario. And so one thing you want to
Speaker 2: root for the rest of the way, in addition to
Speaker 2: you know, Broncos losses and all that stuff, is for
Speaker 2: the Chiefs to have a reason to play in Week eighteen,
Speaker 2: because if the season's on the line and the Broncos.
Speaker 1: Get who is it Blaine Gabber? Is he the backup
Speaker 1: for Casey? I forget.
Speaker 2: I don't want to see that situation. But in this game,
Speaker 2: lose and it's over. Nobody will care if you win
Speaker 2: this one, but it gets you to Houston, and if
Speaker 2: you win that one, then you'll be back in the conversation,
Speaker 2: which I need personally for that Niners game and need
Speaker 2: it range of outcomes. I think there's a small chance
Speaker 2: we lose this game. There always is, right, well, not always,
Speaker 2: but sometimes I just think it could be a one
Speaker 2: possession game potentially because of the talent and the playmaking
Speaker 2: they have buried deep in the annals of their team,
Speaker 2: like it's I don't think it's going to come out
Speaker 2: this year, but maybe it does once but they stink right,
Speaker 2: maybe they put it all together. I don't know, but
Speaker 2: I think you could get a twenty four to twenty
Speaker 2: three game possibly if we just crap the bed and
Speaker 2: turn it over and bust a coverage and tackle like
Speaker 2: we did on Thursday night and get bogged down in penalties,
Speaker 2: anything can happen at that point, But make no mistake
Speaker 2: about it, this is a team that plays like they
Speaker 2: signed a quarterback and gave him a voice more powerful
Speaker 2: than their head coach, and the GM like a team
Speaker 2: that had a quarterback who nobody wants to work with
Speaker 2: and let him choose. The OC has time and time
Speaker 2: again proven he is Adam Gase without Peyton Manning level competent, right.
Speaker 1: That's Nate Hackett quick aside on that.
Speaker 2: I often see the floor as returned to a head
Speaker 2: coaching chair commentary of this offseason, and I'm always like,
Speaker 2: do we not remember that? Literally nobody wanted to work
Speaker 2: on this man's staff. Oh the stories I could tell
Speaker 2: you guys. One day, One day, we'll do that. The
Speaker 2: funniest thing that Jets did was fire Sala and pulled
Speaker 2: Ulbrich from the defense because Sala wasn't a good head coach.
Speaker 2: Don't get that twisted. But at least with the dynamic
Speaker 2: they had, there was a sense of cohesion on defense.
Speaker 2: But now they look like a team that has a
Speaker 2: trying to handle day to day operations that takes them
Speaker 2: away from install and preparation of meetings and from repping
Speaker 2: practice and walkthroughs like, I think this game gets ugly,
Speaker 2: which stretches the other end of the range quite wide.
Speaker 2: I don't think they'll be able to stop our running game.
Speaker 2: I think Sauce is kind of on that Javon Hollandarck
Speaker 2: a little bit and might not play in the game
Speaker 2: even I think their constant offensive mistakes will compound issues
Speaker 2: and we will run these dudes out of the building.
Speaker 2: The range is like thirty eight to ten, but I'm
Speaker 2: not going to go that crazy, so I will say
Speaker 2: Dolphins win this one thirty one to thirteen.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: Hey's the victory stretch this Jets defense with perimeter runs,
Speaker 2: get them running wide, get that outside run game going.
Speaker 1: Number two.
Speaker 2: Exploit your one on one opportunities they're going to give
Speaker 2: you for Tyreek and waddle and number three collapse the
Speaker 2: Jets pocket from the edge and beat up Old Man
Speaker 2: River from the outside in.
Speaker 1: Hey, old Man River, zip it or I'll break your head.
Speaker 1: All right, last one, I promise, let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: get out of here. You all.
