First, 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.319 starting off this podcast this Tuesday edition, as we do 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.480 weekly here on the Drivetime Podcast, let's go ahead and 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.120 talk about the Dolphins current rankings after eight weeks in 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:41.360 the NFL. Offensively and defensively, and on the offensive side, 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.119 the Dolphins eleven and scoring at twenty six point nine 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.440 points per game. When it comes to total offense, Miami's 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.400 three d and twenty four point four yards per game 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.560 is twenty eight in the National Football League. On the ground, 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:59.600 the rushing offense is averaging yards per game that's in 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.200 the nf FELL and when it comes to passing yards 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.760 to twenty six point four per game, that is twenty one, 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.760 and the thirty seven point eight third down percentage is 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.000 right now in the NFL. On the offensive line, the 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.400 Dolphins quarterbacks have been sacked only eleven times. That's tied 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.640 for ninth fewest in the National Football League. And on 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.640 the defensive side, that's where things get really fun. Eight 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.800 team points six points allowed per game, number one in 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.120 the league, best scoring defense in the National Football League 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.760 right now. Three hundred and seventy six yards allowed per 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.680 game against the Dolphins, that ranks twenty in the NFL. 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.679 On the ground game, Miami allows one d twenty five 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.600 point one yards per game and that ranks twenty one 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.280 in the league. And just real quick, a quick aside 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.560 as far as rushing yards allowed, you see these numbers 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.440 posted up here. All teams except for six allowed at 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.760 least one hundred yards per game. The Falcon, Steelers, Ram, Saints, Colts, 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.120 and Bucks are under one hundred yards per game allowed. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:58.200 The way I view rushing offense, especially in modern football, 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.639 is not about the number of yards you allow. It's 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.720 a number of plays you win. How many times do 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.040 you put the offense in second and ten, or second 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.200 and twelve, or even second and eight. Can you get 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.799 stops like that to get enough wins to force them 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.000 into long third downs? To me, that's the key in 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.480 the running game, and I think we've seen that throughout 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.760 the course of the last three Sundays plenty of plays 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.359 with the Dolphins defense puts the offense into predictable into 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.640 predictable passing downs based upon some stops early on in 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.600 the game or in the down and distance in the series. 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.600 As far as passing defense goes, Miami currently right now 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.760 is allowing to fifty point nine. That's twenty in the NFL. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.080 But when it comes to sacks, Miami has nineteen of 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.200 those that's tied for tenth in the National Football League. 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.119 And overall takeaways, the Dolphins have registered thirteen this year 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.760 that's tied for fifth and just one takeaway off the 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.480 lead behind the Seahawks, Browns, Bucks, and Chiefs. And when 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.040 it comes to third down defense, the Dolphins are tied 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.840 for second, allowing just thirty three point three percent of 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.960 third down conversions to be converted against them when the 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.840 other team has the football. So really good, good defensive 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.840 stats there for the Dolphins of the half of the 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.560 season to the first seven games of the season. And 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.640 so those are your team rankings currently through eight weeks. Individually. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.640 Let's go ahead and start with the snap counts, and 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.040 there was quite a bit of discrepancy here between the 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.360 offensive and defensive side. The Dolphins played forty nine snaps 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.760 on Sunday two. A tonk of volo of the quarterback, 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.119 and the five starting offensive lineman all played all forty 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.440 nine snaps for your Miami Dolphins. Adam Panky also had 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.000 two snaps on the offensive line, and Christian Wilkins had 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.520 his one snap as a fullback. In this Miami offensive attack, 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.159 running back Myles Gaskin led the way again with forty 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.120 three reps. That's eighty eight percent. Matt Brita had eight 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.159 snaps and Malcolm Perry had seven at the running back position, 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.480 with Malcolm Perry a running back slash wide receiver designation. 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.039 At receiver, Preston Williams led the way with forty four snaps. 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.240 That was of the workload. Davante Parker was out there 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.600 for twenty nine snaps on Sunday, Isaiah Ford seventeen, Jakeen 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.359 Grant sixteen, and Mac Hollins two snaps. At tight end 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.080 Durham Smith he played thirty two snaps, leading the way 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.919 at sixty five percent. Mike Asiki was out there for 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.839 twenty eight snaps, and Adam Shaheen out there for sixteen snaps. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.880 As far as some of the offensive metrics there for 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.799 your Miami Dolphins, we talked about it on Twitter on Monday. 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.880 Quarterback to a Tongue of Blois touchdown pass, the first 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.640 of his career to DeVante Parker had a nearest defender 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.840 a separation mark of point to eight yards per NFL 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.960 next Gen Stats. That is the tightest window touchdown pass 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.599 in the NFL this season. Of course, the defensive back 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.359 was flagged for defensive pass interference on that play, but 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.560 it did not matter. Parker hauls it in. It was 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.800 the tenth touchdown and has past eighteen games played and 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.480 going back to Week seven of last year, Parker's ten 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.680 receiving touchdowns are tied for ninth in the NFL. At 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.200 running back Miles Gaskin lad the Dolphins and rushing for 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.000 the sixth game this season, had forty seven yards and 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.200 in his last nine games gas him has one five 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.440 carries four hundred eighty five yards, three touchdowns on the 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.320 ground and thirty three catches for two hundred and thirty 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.279 yards and all purpose back there for the Miami Dolphins. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.240 And on the offensive line, Pro Football Focus had Miami 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.920 with four pressures allowed on quarterback tongue viola, and of 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.520 those four pressures, the veterans Jesse Davis and Ted Carriss 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:14.480 both pitched past protection clean sheets with no sacks, hits 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.080 or hurries. No pressures allowed from Harris and Davis onto 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.440 the defensive side, and I cannot wait to watch this 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.440 defensive tape here with you guys on the Drivetime podcast. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.080 Snap counts on the defensive line. Zack Seeler played sixty 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.320 five snaps on the on the Dolphins defensive line. That 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.520 was sixty percent of the workload. Christian Wilkins not far 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.760 behind him with fifty eight, Great Kwon Davis had fifty 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.320 and Benito Jones got twelve snaps on Sunday at defensive end, 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.719 Emmanuel Ogball played sixty nine reps. That's good for seventy 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.560 of the workload, and Shack Lawson played forty five snaps 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.520 at linebacker. Plenty of snaps to go around here. Kyle 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.320 van Noy played ninety reps in the game on Sunday, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:58.520 that was of the defensive workload. Jerome Baker played seventy 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.640 five snaps, Van Gekl had forty six, Landon Roberts had nineteen, 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.760 Cruge Hill had seventeen, and Sam Mguavin had seven reps 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.800 in this game. So you see the idea there. The 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.040 game plan specific for the week. Linebackers were crucial in 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.840 this Dolphins game plan for Josh Boyer and Brian Flores 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.240 and in the defensive secondary. Xavian Howard played every snap 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.440 all ninety five out there. Of those snaps, Byron Jones 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.640 played eighty eight, Nick Needham played sixty six, Hey Hayes 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.480 had fifteen reps, and Noah Ignogeny was out there for seven. 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.840 At safety. Plenty to go around here. Bobby McCain also 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.000 did not leave the field nine snaps for him, Eric 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.160 Rowe had eighty seven snaps and Brandon Jones played thirty 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.480 nine in Miami seventeen victory, and defensive end Emmanuel Ogba. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.480 His hot shriek was not slowed down by any stretch. 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.640 Over the course of the bye week. He wrecked up 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:53.400 seven more quarterback pressures, a sack, a hit, and five hurries. 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.200 He also batted a pass down at the line, made 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.280 a run stop, and forced a fumble that led to 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.600 a touchdown. His thirty two orderback pressures this year our 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:05.400 fifth most among all edge defenders on Pro Football Focus, 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.800 trailing only t J. Watt ofth Pittsburgh Cleveland's Miles Garrett, 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.200 l A's Joey Bosa, and Tampa Bay Shack Barrett. That 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.800 is the best of the best and edge rushers out 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.680 there in the NFL right now, and his counterpart, Shack Lawson, 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.360 piled up five pressures, a sack, a hit in three 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.920 Hurries also had a run stop and a forced fumble 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.840 which essentially put the Dolphins down, or it didn't. Essentially, 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.120 it did put the Dolphins down at the one yard line, 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.960 essentially leading to that touchdown from Miles Gaskin there in 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.880 the first half. On the inside, Zack Seeler four more 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.840 quarterback pressures, three and more run stops. This guy, to me, 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.559 is becoming one of the more under appreciated, unherralded players, 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.200 not just on this Dolphins defense or on the Dolphins team, 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.240 in the national football Like, this guy is damn good 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.800 and we're gonna talk about him a lot in the 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.520 tape study as we do every week here. On drive time, 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.240 Christian Wilkins had two pressures, had to run stop, and 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.520 of course that big interception that really began Miami scoring. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.120 Scoring on slot there in the first half led to 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.640 the first touchdown of the game. Andrew van Gikl had 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.000 the scoop and score for the second longest or fumble 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.440 return rather in Dolphins history. Jason Taylor had an eighty 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.400 five yard return back in Week one of two thousand 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.600 five against the Broncos. Van Ginkel also had a QB hit, 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.839 two hurries and a run stop, and did not allow 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.679 a completion and coverage. Also at linebacker, Van Noi had 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.120 two quarterback pressures, made nine total tackles, and broke up 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.840 two passes. Four of his tackles were for run stops. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.959 Those are stops within two yards of the line of scrimmage. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.880 He also had a twenty eight yard return on his 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.640 fumble recovery that set Miami up at the Rams one 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.160 yard line. At Land and Roberts made four tackles in 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.560 the game, three of those were good for run stops 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.400 and in the secondary, cornerback Nick Needham was targeted eight 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.400 times in coverage, allowed just four receptions for fifty yards. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.640 That's an average of six point to five yards per 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.120 target and fifty clip and Byron Jones allowed just forty 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.439 five yards on seven pass targets on Sunday. At safety, 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.560 these two guys are playing out of their mind right now. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.000 Eric Row had the most passes defense in an NFL 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.240 game this season, or tied for it with five five. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.760 He is now tied with Jesse Bates of the Bengals 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.080 with eight passes defense. That's the most among all safeties 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.760 for Bates and Eric row and on the season, he's 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.240 allowing just fifty eight point one percent of targets on 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.600 him to go completed, for an average of four point 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.360 five two yards per target and a passer rating of 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.040 sixties six point six, quietly becoming one of the best 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.480 safeties in the National Football League. He already is. He's 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.600 one of the best safeties there is out there. Bobby McCain, 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.880 he's in that category too right now. He allowed just 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.880 three yards receiving per Pro Football Focus, a passer rating 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.360 of seventy nine point two, and two tackles without any 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.079 misses and in the open field there for Bobby McCain. So, 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.240 this Dolphins defense really turned the screws on opposing offenses 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.120 as of late. They've allowed eleven point three points per 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.600 game over the previous three games. In the three game 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:46.560 winning streak, they also have eight takeaways, ten sacks, and 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:50.079 have allowed the opponent to convert just of the third 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.440 down plays over those three wins. Dominant, dominant defense here 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.120 for your Miami Dolphins. And with that, let's go ahead 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.080 and turn the tape on and get to the all 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.960 twenty two review. Here from the Dolphins offensive side of 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.400 the football, and we'll go ahead and start as we 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.360 do weekly on the All Review, talking about some of 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.640 the scheme and structure of Changile's offense and the play 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.440 calls and off the top the first play, I already 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.640 liked what I saw, or what I see I suppose 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.360 from a possibility standpoint, You've got Jachem Grant coming across 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.040 the formation on a fly sweep, and you get a 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.360 player in instant conflict. He has to honor the motion 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.600 of both Grant and read to a right and the 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.560 mesh point there with Miles Gaskin. All the linemen hold 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.560 their blocks at the line, so to A can pull 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.440 that thing and flip it out to Grant who's just 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.240 staying there behind the last grimmage uncovered. So there's options 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.559 built off that play. Another general note here of the offense. 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.800 I love the way these guys connect with the twister 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.760 or the looper coming in on stunts and twists. They 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.680 always throw a punch and a lot of times it 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.480 completely messes up the rhythm of that t e stunt 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.439 or twist where you have the tackle going out in 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.760 the end coming in and trying to get that game 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.720 up front. The initial contact helps us wrap that timing 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.600 of those stunts on the defense. We heard Ted Carriss 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.720 say in his media this week that he'd like to 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.959 have some blocks back and a couple of times they 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.080 connected well to start but just couldn't stay on those blocks. 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.600 I think that's what he's talking about. That's my assumption, 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:12.679 but I think there were some opportunities there to get 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.240 those blocks cleaned up and get some more yardage. In 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.640 the running game. The Rams really covered things up well 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.679 on the back end. There was a couple of layers 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.040 looking plays where they had the underneath, the over the top, 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.200 and the deep route, and they just covered everything up 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.480 blanketed on all three layers of that particular play on 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.480 the Miles Gascon fumble that might have been That play 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.560 might have been the biggest hole this season. We saw 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.280 in the running game a huge lane opens up between 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.840 Harris and Kindley and you see a linebacker take a 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.000 false step following Jachem across the formation on that jet 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.400 sweep action. So all the I candy there part of 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.240 the offensive attack. In Week eate with the Dolphins, Malcolm 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.319 Perry's catch, he got outside access on that play because 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.280 the slot corner crashed on the fake so another nice 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.600 schemed up first down there and then again on the 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.319 conversion to Isaiah Ford the third down in one conversion. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.720 In the late in the game, the fourth quarter, they 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.840 do rooming boomerang motion, so he comes inside and then 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.800 goes back outside of motion and that causes the defender 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.120 following him in man coverage to get out leveraged, and 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.120 it's an easy throw and catch to move the chains 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.560 there on third and one. As far as to us game, 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.080 the first play or the second play, rather the sack fumble, 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.920 there was some good rushes from both Larrd Floyd and 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.320 Aaron Donald, which forces too to climb and kind of 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.200 hitch as he climbs up to find another platform to 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.800 throw from, because if he stays home there, he's gonna 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.360 get drilled by either Floyd or Donald. But as he 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.040 climbs the windows on the windows he tries to find 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.320 also closed down as so as he tries to reach 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.959 back to throw, Donald comes in off the block and 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.440 knocks the football loose. And look, this is a damn 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.080 good defense you're facing. They're gonna have plays where several 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.600 guys win, and that's what happened on this play. The 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.880 completion to Preston Williams. The slant on the r P 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.240 O later on the ball handling, how quick the process is. 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.120 That part has me excited. I mean, I knew about 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.320 it at Alabama, but it's been a while since I 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.120 watched it on tape and the quick ball handling, that 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.839 thing was out. I timed it three time, one point 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.400 six six seconds snap to release that football is out. 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.080 The Dolphins offensive line can handle that one point six 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.920 six all day long. On the deep shot later to 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.199 Preston Williams, I love the the way to his head works. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.240 As you watch the all twenty two working from one 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.319 side of the field to the other. He starts right, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.920 comes back to the middle and you see the safety 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.840 that's over to Preston's side. He runs the opposite direction 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.160 back towards the middle of the field, and that's exactly 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.640 when TWA takes his shot. But it's really good coverage 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.120 downfield by thirty one Darius Williams, so the play goes incomplete. 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.160 They come back a couple or the next series, rather 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.000 a couple of plays later with a deep shot to 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.120 Mike Asiki, and it was the same thing that I 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.720 really liked about his game. He's so quick to get 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.760 to that safety with you watch the end zone copy. 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.480 You see his head pointed directly at the safety in 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.280 the middle of the field and he sees what that 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.080 safety is doing, and the decision comes right after that. Now, 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.640 I don't know what the progression is of that place, 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:53.520 and I don't know the play call or the design 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.840 of the play, but you see him look at the safety, 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.400 and when that safety makes his break, that's when TWA 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.040 makes his decision. And so safety comes down on the 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.400 middle of the formation and jumps the backside crossing route, 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.080 which means to that point that Mike Asiki on that 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.680 takeoff has a one on one opportunity. And as soon 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.560 as the safety rips are breaks forward to a lets 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.680 that thing ripped. I put it on the handheld timer 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.360 because I was curious to see how fast it took 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.360 him to process that information. And the football lands twenty 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.760 five yards down field off the line of scrimmage with 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.840 a snap to release time of two point one. That's 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.800 anticipation ripping the football man and the ball was right there. 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.120 Just a hell of a play once again by Williams 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.280 to get the pass break up the completion to Joachim 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.040 Grant on the comeback route before the touchdown throw to 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.920 DeVante Parker. That ball was out just as Jachine was 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.480 coming out of the break and right on the money. 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.080 That was cool to see. The touchdown pass was six 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.600 man pressure. The Rams brought six on the blitz against 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.360 five and protection and two was quick release, really wiped 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.560 out the free rusher and the throw was right on 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.800 the money, just perfect, just as Parker's catch. Was awesome 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.040 execution there from two h to Parker. We jumped forward 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.200 to the second half. Now a second down and ten 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.040 a quick shot two miles Gaskin for nine yards. The 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.400 Rams have a great disguise to get a couple of 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.520 rushers off the left side alone on Jesse Davis, So 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.000 he takes the inside man the most urgent pressure as 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.040 he should, and the outside guy becomes to us responsibility 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.320 and he gets that thing out quickly with an accurate 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.160 throw right in behind the blitz. Again things he did 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.040 well in college. There was an A and M tape 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.440 a couple of years ago at Alabama actually was twenty 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.120 nineteen where they kept blitzing off the backside of the 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.600 formation and he just kept throwing slants right behind those guys. 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:29.440 That's kind of what this looked like right here, a 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.720 quick shot to Gasking with pressure in his face and 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.240 the ability to get the football around him. All in all, 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.400 I thought the Rams did well to get pressure while 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.400 playing that deep coverage and really cutting off from the 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.520 deep opportunities the Dolphins had two took the two deep 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:43.880 shots he did have, and and they'll get those balls eventually. 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.520 They're gonna You're not gonna hold down DeVante Parker, Preston 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.040 Williams and Mike Asiki on those, especially when they have 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.040 those one on one chances and the ball is up 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.520 early and out quick to got it out quickly. Most 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.600 of the time, a couple of plays didn't work one 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.000 reason or another, whether there was pressure or the or 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.160 the past just didn't get completed. But I think there's 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.360 plenty of stuff that can be corrected and see more 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.880 offensive output next week. As far as some other guys 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.520 on the offense, Solomon Kinley on the Miles Gaskin four 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.320 yard run in the first half, he really connects well 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.160 on a shoulder to hip combination block with Robert Hunt 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.800 on Michael Brocker's he turns him and seals him and 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.480 then comes off and gets to fifty nine Micah Kaiser 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.800 at the second level to seal that thing off. Awesome 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.560 work by the rook but then sixty nine Joseph comes 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.000 off his block for the tackle. We heard Flora's talk 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.240 on the Monday or the Sunday night postgame presser about 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.320 how on special teams in the kicking game he felt 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:33.639 they were one block away and they finally got that 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.679 block and sprung Jachim. It looked like there was a 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.840 couple of instances of that in the running game in 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:39.720 this game as well. So the hope there as this 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.119 team can get those things corrected and get those bigger 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.280 chunk runs going in the future to help out to 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.840 a tongue of Biloa. As Ted Carriss said in his 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.080 Monday presser. Speaking of Ted Carriss on Gaskins run before 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.159 the to a touchdown, he has a hell of a 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.760 double team or a combo block where he catches and 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:57.639 climbs at the first level and gets up to the 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.399 second level and hits a cut block to get that 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.480 defender down to the ground. Derham Smith back to that 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.440 deep shot to Preston Williams where they couldn't connect. There 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.199 was a protection slide to build an absolute wall in 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.560 front of Aaron Donald and it puts Durham Smith in 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.400 a one on one situation with Michael Brocker's Michael Brocker's 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.719 a defensive tackle and he holds up really well on 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.639 that one and pass pro and on that same Kinley 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.320 block where he gets a double on Brockers with Robert 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.080 Hunt on the same play, Derham Smith comes up and 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.040 really pulls across the formation to hit a nice block 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.680 there too. So Smith continues to make key blocks both 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.080 on the running and passing game. Eric Flowers I had 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.439 him down for a really nice combination block on a 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:35.680 four yard run from Matt Breta in the third quarter. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.320 You see a lot of these good double teams on 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.800 the Dolphins interior offensive line. It kind of goes in 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:41.879 line in hand with the way I like their their 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.200 ability to communicate those stunts and pick up those guys 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.679 twisting and and looping around them. The good communication up 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.679 front between Carris, Flowers and Kinley on the interior, and 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.320 then Jachem Grant on the punt return. You get a 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.840 number of critical blocks as that's going to be the 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.520 case when you have a touchdown return on a punt return, 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.560 but he gets a critical block from Noah Igbanogeny who 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.400 comes in and it gets a little hip on the 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.400 defender trying to make the the tackle before Grant makes 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.720
