And you can see some 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:38.040 videos of Tuah and Liam Eichenberg dancing on stage with 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.440 some kiddos. It's it's a great, great little thing. They 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.480 did a great event. They did, and you know, I 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.640 talked about or I wrote down some some of my 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.160 favorite costumes here that I saw. I couldn't see them all, 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:49.600 but some of the ones that I saw that I 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.240 thought were great. First of all, back to Liam Eichenberg, 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.560 him up on stage as buzz Lightyear is for some 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.200 reason just looks right to me. But also the dance 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.640 moves like, I don't William's a father, but from one 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.320 dad to a possibly future father, you got the dad 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.280 dance moves down only and they're looking great out there, 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.639 my man. And then to as Woody was great. He 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.519 talked about that at his press conference on Wednesday. Dressing 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.880 up as Woody from Toy Story to go along with 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.959 a buzz Lightyear there. Jalen Waddle as Elmo was fantastic, 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.600 Blake Ferguson as a teletubby, Rob Hunt as a pirate, 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.359 the scariest looking pirate I've ever seen, and then Jacoby 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.720 Brissette as At first I thought maybe Paw Patrol, but 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.519 I don't think that's what it was. He had a 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.400 fireman's hat on and a Dalmatian costuhim and a great 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.519 smile with all the kids there too. So again, go 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.960 check out the Miami Dolphins socials Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, also 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.359 Miami Dolphins dot com. Tons of smiling faces. Really cool 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.959 for these guys to get out there and go do that. 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.320 All right, It's Friday, you know what time it is. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.680 Let's get my guest in here, John Conjemmy and joining 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.120 us now as he does every single Friday here on 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.919 drive time. Is my friend, my press box neighbor, my 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.639 key line pie buddy, John Conjemmy. How you doing, man, 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.320 I'm up to a bad two pounds Travis and going 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.160 north with this key line Pie. I think I double 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.679 dipped again. I tried to break uh my routine so 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.399 it would bring some good luck to the Miami Dolphins. 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.560 But it did not help in the end. But it 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.880 got us close in the fourth quarter with that nice comeback. 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.600 It just didn't hold two minutes away from victory there. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.519 And maybe maybe the third key line pie is the 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:27.359 key next. I'm not sure what hey on the topic 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.440 of on the topic of press box food, so help 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.200 me figure this out, because I think I'm still a 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.400 little bit new in this area. So I always get 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.640 to the stadium and I go have lunch that they 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.800 provide for us, always really good food, and then they 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.240 have that halftime like snack right like it's either chicken 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.200 strips or hot dogs or something to that effect. I 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.520 always find myself not hungry enough to eat at halftime, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.400 and then after the game when I have to do 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.520 a two hour postgame show on a podcast and half 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.400 about four hours where I can't eat, I'm starving. What's 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.520 the best way to attack that, well, I think the bear, 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:00.840 as you look at an animal, has it down pretty good. 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.120 They eat as much as they can and then they 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.040 go into hibernation. That's what we do on Sundays. We 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.720 we have to consume as much as we can in 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.160 terms of water or whatever your beverage of choices, coffee, 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.600 and then eat because you're not going to see food 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.520 for probably six or seven hours after that. So that's 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.279 the mentality I've always had, Eat even though you're not hungry, 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.400 because you know you're not gonna get anything until about 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.680 nine o'clock that night. I wrote that down. That's great advice, 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.440 something that I haven't been doing for two years now. 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.080 I'm going to do it at the Houston game next Sunday. 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.000 But John, we have a game coming up this Sunday 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.400 on the road, tough opponent, and I want to go 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.400 ahead and dive in here and talk about this football 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.320 game with you. I talked about this on my Thursday show, 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.080 and I just wanted to get a better sense of 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.200 it from your perspective because the last time these two 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.920 teams played, you know, Tunguevaloa played two series and they 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.840 were they were just full of blitzes, the Skies, blitzes, 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.800 delayed blitz is, ultimately pressures, hits and sacks and our 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.040 quarterback and eventually knocked out of the game. How can 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:02.120 Miami overcome what Buffalo will certainly again, right, I would 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.440 think so. I think you may see it at some point. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.040 I don't know if it's going to be right away 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.360 in the first quarter on the first couple of series, 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.960 like we saw at hard Rock Stadium. But the way 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:16.680 to get away and remedy that I guess is identification. 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:22.120 It's communication, and it's going up tempo because if as 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.480 a defense they want to be unpredictable, they want to 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.880 put the pressure on your offensive line, your center, your 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.760 quarterback to babel to identify, to identify, put a big 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.760 guy on a big guy, put the running back on 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.560 a linebacker or a safety, and they want to make 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.480 your quarterback think about a lot of things pre snapped 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.440 so that it confuses him and it takes him down 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.960 on the play clock where he feels rushed or he 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.240 feels hurried. And I think Buffalo the Bills did a 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.040 really good job of that in the first game. I 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.280 think it was six sacks in the combination of of 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.640 of two and Jacoby. I think they had multiple hits. 0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.680 I know when Jacoby was in the game, he was 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.000 flu from the pocket quite a bit. He had to 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.000 extend plays with his legs. So I think it all 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:09.320 starts up front center, identification, a lot of talking with 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.040 that offensive line, either getting in and out of the 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.120 huddle quickly or being able to go up tempo so 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.520 you can keep the Bills a little bit more predictable 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.279 and put the pressure back on that defense. And then 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.200 you have to be able to make them pay. If 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.200 they're gonna blitz and they're gonna come after you, you 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.360 have to be able to hit a chunk yard eage 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.920 played down the field. You have to get that explosive 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.839 place somewhere in that series, because you know what that does. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.840 That's like spraying off when the mosquitoes around they all 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.719 go away. You know that those drives go away, those 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:44.320 blitzes go away because you've been able to expose them 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.560 for for coming after you. And that's the greatest satisfaction 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.440 a coordinator can have a quarterback and have an offense 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.960 can have come on after me because I got something 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.200 for you. And if you don't make them pay, that 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.280 will continue to persist on the defensive side. Yeah, that 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.920 well time screened that well time. When you get a 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.000 two way go from your slot, maybe he wins off 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.400 the release immediately you get the ball downfield. There's ways 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.080 to do it, and I'm glad you made that a 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.880 point of emphasis. That was one of my points of 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.160 emphasis as well. And I do feel like this team 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.280 is more equipped at this stage, and they were early 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:15.920 in the season to kind of be more aggressive because 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.560 we've seen it with the quarterback now at this stage, 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.720 I mean, two was throwing the ball down the field 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.080 with accuracy and precision right now, and he's he's having 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.560 good success in that intermediate area. And I thought one 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.320 of his best throws of the season early of his 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.000 career was that throw to Mike Kasiki to get that 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.440 first touchdown drive of the fourth quarter, sparked kind of 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.520 falling away to his right, throwing back to his left. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.240 I think we're we'ren't sore for some more progression in 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.040 that vertical game like you mentioned there this week or otherwise. 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.760 I do think we're gonna see it. And I'm glad 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.120 you mentioned that, John, because the other part off that 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.400 I wanted to kind of ask you about was, you know, 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.280 Buffalo played the RPO concept last time. I thought so well, 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.600 they would. They would blitz into the face of the 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.520 back and force to it to make a quick decision, 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.880 and then they would they would fill that slant route 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.760 to Davante Parker, whoever the heck it was that was 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.280 that route at the time. So what's a good counter 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.400 to that? If they're gonna play up, is it the 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.400 shot play, is it going vertical? How do you counter 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.280 off of that RPO look where they pretty much took 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.840 out every option you had on it. Well, I think 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.320 you can do it by running the football. You know, 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.760 remember the first part of the r p O right, 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.920 it's the run. And if you're in man coverage and 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.520 you've got tight corners and they're squatting on that quick 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.320 slant or whatever the route maybe maybe it's a stop 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.440 route or a quick out. You have to be able 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.800 to run the football. That means the offensive line needs 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.640 to do their part. That means to it needs to 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.160 do his part in controlling the edge rusher or the 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.160 edge defender against the run. If two can pull the 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.560 football and get five six yards get down on the turf, 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.120 that's a win. That that's why you have the r 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.400 p O in. And the second part of that is 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.599 once you get that run game and get two on 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.640 the edge and they're not really pressuring up field with 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.960 that the edge defender, you kind of hit that double move. 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.320 Maybe it's a slant and go that s Lugo route 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.079 up on top of you take a shot at it, 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.320 or maybe it's a rub route with a combat nation 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.360 on that side that that can build off of the 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.120 r p. Oh. There's a lot of things you can 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.600 get to. But it all stems back to the first 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.720 part of why we call it that run pass option. 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.599 You have to be able to run the football. Just 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.920 the threat of it without anything backing it up doesn't 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.679 really make that play all that successful. So you have 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.319 to be able to give him a little bit of 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.839 run both running back and quarterback that will get people 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.360 off the line of scrimmage or bring more attention. And 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.240 that's where you get the double move on that slant 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.320 and go, or you can get use a little rub 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.079 route with a combination on the outside. Yeah, I do 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.679 feel like you know, having to with the design run 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.720 as far as you know, if you put the ball 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.760 in the belly of the running back, the defensive end crashes, 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.560 the quarterback goes out the back of the gate. There, 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.480 that's that's gonna be a help helpful element. I think 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.880 this time around two a four last week on the ground, 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.559 let's see three for twenty two in the Jacksonville game. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.480 He had the rushing touchdown and gets the Patriots back 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.959 in Week one. So he's been very effective using his 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.559 legs to create plays both designed and scrambling when things 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.800 kind of break down around him. So that's the offensive 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.760 side of the ball. John great stuff there. On the 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:06.360 defensive side, I think Josh Allen right now, given just 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.640 Patrick Mahomes current struggles, I don't think it's gonna last 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.599 or anything, but I think right now, Josh Allen's the 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.079 best quarterback in the NFL. I would I would put 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.280 my name to that. Uh And even though it was 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.520 a thirty five point blowout, he had his worst statistical 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.000 day of the season, and really against the Dolphins going 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.880 back to his rookie season, because he's played so well 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.240 against this team. How does Miami replicate that success against 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.280 Josh Allen just the passing game of the Buffalo Bills. 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.160 How do they replicate that success this time around? Well, 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.400 I think, you know, it has to be a two 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.160 way street. You have to be able to create some 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.880 pressure in the pocket and it has to be mirrored 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.440 up with coverage. You know, we talked about that last 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.000 week against Matt Ryan and all the weapons that they had, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.599 and you saw at times, you know, when pressure was 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.760 around Ryan, and the coverage was decent. It worked out 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.079 pretty well. But when he had time and he was 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:59.360 able to select his man to man coverage, uh uh, 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.000 maybe a mismatch for him, or he felt like it 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.240 was in his favor, he threw. He threw perfect passes 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.160 and it beat really good coverage. So I think with 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:12.839 Josh Allen, the same principles apply. You have to be 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.000 able to pressure the pocket, but you cannot allow him 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.280 to escape that. That's been the biggest thing that has 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.920 hurt the Miami Dolphins over every outing that we've played 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.760 against Josh Allen the Buffalo Bills. He's been able to escape, 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.839 He's been able to use his legs. Maybe not so 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.640 much in the first game uh this year, but in 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.280 the prior five or six contest. Yes. So Number one, 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.520 you have to be able to close the net on Alan. 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.439 You have to be able to limit his running ability 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.959 ability because that generates momentum and extends drives for the 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.440 Bill's offense. So it's pressure, it's type coverage, and it's 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.520 not allowing Alan to extend drives on a third and 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.679 six where he gets fourteen or first and tent when 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.640 you have him on a stack and it ends up 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.240 a negative play ends up being a positive play. Now 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.199 they have another down and they have momentum. That's the 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.880 biggest thing I see when you're facing a big, strong quarterback. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.559 He can make all the throws, obviously, but when his 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.000 time is limited, the coverage matches up and you don't 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:16.200 let him escape with regularity. That's why he that's why 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.319 he struggled in the game against US. I thought pressure 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:23.160 matched good coverage. He didn't run crazy. He maybe had 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.199 thirty some yards. I think on the afternoon, I'd have 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.079 to go back and check. I think he had, uh, 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.440 maybe fifty seven yards. He was averaging. He had around 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.920 forty yards in the game, so it wasn't crazy, but 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.680 it was enough to keep them alive, to keep drives alive. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.600 That's what the Dolphins need to to limit on Sunday 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.800 and really maintain their their rush lane integrity right because 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:45.960 the worst place to be on the football fields behind 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.280 the quarterback. And actually, if you watched the strip sacker, 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:49.840 I don't know if it was actually a sacking, might 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.719 have been beyond the last scrimmage at this point, but oddballs, 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.720 forced fumble, he winds up behind the quarterback and great 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.840 effort to get back into the play on Matt Ryan. 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.439 But against Josh Allen, you're not gonna flag him down, 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.400 so you have to really stay in front him and 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.200 now let him escape that way and hope to catch 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.199 him from the backside. So that's a great point. And 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:07.760 then it kind of to follow up on that, John, 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.599 you know, we saw I think I talked about this 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.920 in the preview podcast. How I'm I'm willing to accept, 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.040 you know, sacrificing on run defense to really try to 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:19.880 put a stop to the passing offense because what can 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.319 hurt you more obviously the passing game, right, but you 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.280 can't be too vulnerable against the run. And we saw 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.800 the I think it was the Bills either first play 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:29.959 of the game or maybe this is our second series 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.440 where they came out there and had a forty nine 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.199 yard touchdown rush from Devin Singletary. Do you try to 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.520 how do you? I guess my question is how do 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.439 you how do you take care of both? Like is 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.480 it lesser of two evils? Pick your poison? Is there 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.280 an option to take out both of the running game 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.960 in the passing game here for Buffalo? No, I don't 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:47.880 think so. I think everybody has a job to do. 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.920 You know, those defensive linemen up front seven their run first. 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.400 They're not going after the quarterback. They need to stop 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.480 the run. They have, you know, all their rules and 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.600 all their principles built into every defensive scheme that they're 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.719 going to on on Sunday. So it's it's actually, you know, 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:07.640 gap identification and integrity, just doing your job, not somebody else's. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.880 I think that takes care of the run by itself 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:14.400 sometimes because if you're not letting that that other big 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.640 human move you against your will and you're you're kind 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.280 of in your spot and doing your job. But it's 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.120 a stalemate and we'll and on defense, you'll take a stalemate. 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.760 You don't always have to win. It's about creating a stalemate, 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.640 not getting beat up front, because those things create issues. 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.560 That's what that in my opinion, what creates huge lanes. 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.760 And to your point, that's when Devin Singletary went forty 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.040 six yards. I think it was the second play offensive 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.960 play the Bills had. It was a two play drive 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.000 and it was seven nothing and it took you know, 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.240 all of forty six seconds. Uh So it was one 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.600 of those things where you know, right off the bat 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:55.000 you get caught and you create a huge lane. I 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.840 think you went in untouched. That that's a problem. That 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.120 that kind of you know, your running back to the 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.440 sideline goal, we're what happens, We're down seven nothing, I 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.520 didn't create a sweat. So those are the Those are 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.400 the types of things on defense. Do your job, have 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.600 gap integrity, take care of the run first and the 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.880 other stuff. You know, there's other guys to get to 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.760 the quarterback, but that interior needs to do their job 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.800 up front. That's a good point and interesting because I asked, uh, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.240 I think it was Josh Boyer this week about kind 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.760 of the uptick in Christian Wilkins production. He said that 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.680 his comfort ability and familiarity within his fundamentals and technique 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.640 within the scheme allows him to take a little bit 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.400 more chances. And we've seen him have obviously a kind 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.680 of breakout year here and your number three, we'll need 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.400 that from him and Adam Butler and is actually like 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.400 ray Kwon Davis, Jerome Baker, Landed Roberts the entire crutey 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.600 to step it up this week against the Buffalo Bills. 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.680 And that brings us to our final question here before 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:49.080 the mailback John. The Dolphins will win if if they 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.560 can keep the Buffalo field Buffalo Bills on a long field. 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.480 Um last last game out at hard Rock Stadium, first 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.560 two drives, the Bills headed on the four plus forty 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.600 six and the minus forty eight. Uh you know, singletary, 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.640 we talked about the run on the second play from 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.040 the line of scrimmage that the Bills had at seven nothing. 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.800 And then on that next drive, Alan scrambles on a 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.680 third and third and six for seven yards, and then 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.960 it's a shot play to Sanders for thirty five that 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.400 leads to a seven play, fifty two yard drive and 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.520 it's fourteen nothing, you know, and and that can't happen. 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:24.760 You have to be able to keep the Bills on 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.520 a long field. Now, whether that's you know, kick off 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:29.480 and the Bills get it start at the twenty five, 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.800 that's great news. But you can't give him a free 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.040 first down or a first down and a half where 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.240 they start on the thirty five or forty yard line. 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.160 A couple of first downs, they're in scoring position, you know, 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.840 they're they're they're across the fifty yard line. So it 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:43.760 has to be one of those games where you win 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.080 with the kicking game. You win with a couple of 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.880 three and ounce early. You keep them on a long 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.640 field and that extends the game in the first half 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.960 and doesn't get it to where it's fourteen nothing. You 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.720 feel like it's an uphill battle to start. So that 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.040 would be my first key. Secondly, you have to keep 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.320 to a clean six sacks game one. Although he wasn't 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.240 in there for them, they were able to get to 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.199 the Dolphins quarterback in Jacoby Brissette. I think you need 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.239 to keep to a clean What does that mean? Can 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.359 you can you have some balance on the offense. Can 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:11.840 you run it with the r p O? Can you 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.440 run it just going north and the south? And can 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.199 you convert on third down? Can you find those plays 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.960 that keep your offense on the field. So I think 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.080 communication identification. It goes back to the Bills trying to 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.480 get after the Dolphins in that first game. Can you identify, 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:29.840 can you communicate? Can you get the ball out on time? 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.440 And you can? Can you have better execution from guys 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.720 like Jackson and Davis, even though there may be in 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.000 different positions, they still have to execute at a higher level. 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.800 And thirdly, I think you need to take advantage of 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.280 the explosive plays. Uh, the Dolphins were down fourteen nothing 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.159 in that first game, but you had a drop by 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.240 Parker in the end zone that was clearly going to 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.280 be a touchdown. You had to catch in a in 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.640 a run after catch with a fumble in the red 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.879 zone that was going to lead to points. You know, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.800 the score was just a two touchdown game then. So 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.640 if you can take advantage of the plays you're gonna 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:06.000 make down the field, that's gonna, you know, return served 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:07.960 to the Buffalo Bills because you know you're gonna they're 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.560 gonna get thirst, They're gonna get some plays. And I 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:15.400 would caveat onto that, Travis. The defense has to find 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.800 a way to get off the field. On the first 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.639 series of the second half, they've given up plays that 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.120 everybody except Tampa Bay, and Tampa Bay didn't need points. 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.320 They're already up ten at halftime, but they've given away 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.560 a touchdown I believe in five of the six other outings, 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.440 and it's been a field goal to the Patriots to 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.440 start the third quarter in Game number one. They have 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.240 to find a way to turn that tide. If they 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.720 continue to give up points, all it is is a 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.840 drain on the team, so they have to be able 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.920 to do something positive in a positive manner. You know, 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.639 get a strip, sack, get get off the field three now, 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.120
