They had to 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:14.440 get that touchdown on that play. They gave it what 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:19.040 it is Up Dolphins and welcome to the Drivetime Podcast, 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:23.480 part of Miami Dolphins Podcast Network, covering your team, your 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.400 Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your host, 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.320 Travis Wingfield, and as always I am here to bring 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:34.400 you your daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. Not today's show, 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.760 it's an All twenty two Tuesday, my favorite day of 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.800 the week. We'll look at the fifth straight win from 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.800 your Miami Dolphins. The offense, the defense, the individual's areas 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.400 of improvement, the most critical moments in which Miami executed. 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:52.640 Plus the stats, the staff counts, ProFootball focus, next gen stats, 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.520 all the data. We have a busy show here from 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.880 the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:06.560 This is the Drive Time Podcast, as we do here 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.000 on the Tuesday show talking about the All twenty two. 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.080 Let's go ahead and dive right in sit hut and 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.360 we're going twelve personnel package early in this game that 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.280 featured Preston Williams and savan Akhmed flanking to a tongue 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.600 of Byloa with Durham Smith and Mike Gasicki as the 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.760 balanced inline tight ends that means on either side of 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.720 the formation, and then you get an Albert Wilson jet 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.280 sweep pop pass on the run. Thought he was a 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.160 little bit indecisive attacking the whole. But the idea here 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.160 I'm looking at is the mix of personnel, the utilization 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.880 of this pretty unique skill set of the Miami Dolphins. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:42.920 I think we're seeing more and more of it here 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.440 as we go along, and it makes me very curious 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.800 to see what they cook up for this final four 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.920 game stretch with a week off to kind of put 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.920 some more tendency breakers self scouting into the fold and 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.760 get all that stuff accomplished. Also, I think we saw 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.360 maybe some jokes about this earlier in the season with 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.560 this deep tie end room, but it finally happened. Wildcat 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:09.480 with four personnel, that's one back Miles Gaskin, with four 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.880 tight ends. They got Hunter long Seethan Carter, Durham Smith 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.440 and Mike get Sick all four active tight ends that 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.880 were dressed on Sunday. We're in the game for this 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.600 very crucial four or five yard pickup to help set 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.640 up that third and short, which later went as a 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.720 touchdown from Tuah Tunga by Loa to Isaiah Ford. Speaking 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.600 of Tah, let's go ahead and get to his game. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.799 I thought the ball handling and the ability to get 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.000 to multiple reads throughout his progression were very important in 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.359 this game, on top of ideal ball placement, which got 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.040 away from him a couple of times in this game. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.119 We'll talk about that, but for the most part, once 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.520 again one of the more accurate quarterbacks in the National 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.440 Football League, he was accurate again, and that ball placement 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.480 does so much to create yards after the catch, not 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.720 just on slants where you see guys, you know you 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.640 talk about the Wattle fifty seven yard catch last week. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.280 It's not just those. It's the three, four or five 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.760 yard hitch routes, the speedouts where he puts the ball 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.960 in the outside shoulder and leads the runner into extra yardage, 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.680 which on a third and four can give you the 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.040 difference between coming up short. We'll talk about that in 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.200 one play and picking up a first down. We'll talk 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.799 about that in another play. And on the very first 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.720 play you get Albert Wilson motion across the formation two 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.320 has the round option in RPO with gasking from the pistol, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.519 but he keeps that mesh point pulls that thing out 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.160 and you see it. Derham Derham Smith get turned free 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.799 down the seam into that second level, but there's a 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.040 safety capping it over the top and it's gonna be 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.280 a headache ball if he throws it, so he does not. 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.320 But because too was kind of deciphering between going to 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.239 the flat, going to the hook, going to the seam, 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.080 there's a free rusher who is trying to process all 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.040 of that at the same time, and all these ball 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.560 fakes get him to leave his feet and creates a 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.400 passing lane to get the football out wide to Wattle. 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.640 And that pump also influenced the flat defender to give 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.960 Battle room to make a run after the catch for 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.960 nine yards. Also on that play, really good blocking up front, 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.360 solid double teams prevented penetration. That's gonna be a theme 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.280 throughout this review of the Dolphins win over the Giants. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.520 I thought a floater to Durham smythe up the sideline 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.080 the wheel route was a nice throw. Thought Durham misstime 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.040 that jump a bit, but Devonte Parker came clean over 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.840 the middle behind the second level linebackers who pulled up 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.720 on the play fake, thought too had a chance to 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.680 make that RiPP put him in an easier, more high 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.920 percentage throw. That third down miss on the opening drive 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:24.000 was uncharacteristically behind Jalen Waddle and Austin Jackson had an 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.120 awesome rep here where he's stone walls the first man 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.279 then passes off and picks up a second block, and 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.480 the same thing happened for Michael Dieter thought both those 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.000 guys played pretty well in this game on the instances 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.240 where they did have to go to more of a 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.640 traditional drop back game, because you know, basically a fifth 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.920 or a fourth of this offense is is pretty well 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.559 mitigated by the quick game with the quarterbacks quick release 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.599 in the play call. There was another quick hitter in 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.120 this game to Mike get Sicky where he got hit immediately. 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.440 I'm sure you guys recall what I'm talking about, and 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.120 it's a two man route combination a flattened hook and 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.400 Devontae checks up on the hook up route. All that 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.839 means the hook zones the middle portion of the field 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.960 like five or six yards off the football. They call 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.159 that the hook zone, where you know the hook defender 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:02.919 defends that area and you can try to kind of 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.280 capitalize against zone coverage in that area. So Devantae checks 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.480 up on the hook and Mike runs the flat and 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.000 there was a cover to look there with an over 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.280 the top safety in the underneath corner, and I thought 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.159 maybe the corner behind that, but behind that flat route, 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.240 a seven route was opened for an opportunity there, but 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.279 it's not and it goes for a short game there. 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.239 On the second quarter, there was a slant to DeVante 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.440 Parker his first catch of the game, and to Ah 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.839 wants him in the first window, but he doesn't have it. 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.960 So he rolls left and fakes the ball to the 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.000 flat and once again the free defender is influenced by 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.120 the ball fake up twa. So it's not just the 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:36.839 eyes and the hips and the feet and the stuff 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.000 before he throws the football. It's the use of the 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.080 football as a pump fake to get defenders off their feet, 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.120 to get them to take false steps, whatever the case 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.240 may be. And then after that he comes right back 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.480 into that second window to Parker for a catch and 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.520 a first down. And these details will never really get 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.760 talked about by you know, your general mainstream type of coverage, 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.800 but they matter so much. And that's why I think 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.080 that some folks out there are missing the boat on 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.640 this quarterback because they aren't seeing those fine details that 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.880 really make a difference between winning and losing. And it's 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.960 on a play by play basis, kind of like Davante's 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.880 next catch. We talked about this already, a seemingly innocuous 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.720 five yard hitch route on third and two, and James Bradberry, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.720 one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League, 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.360 is playing off coverage. He has eyes in the quarterback. 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.400 He knows they want to go short, and he thinks 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.240 he might have a chance to drive inside for a 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.600 pick six here. But not so fast. My friend too 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.760 throws this ball wide, which spins Parker not just away 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.160 from play on the football, but from any kind of hit. 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.680 It gives him a free run to the sidelines. You 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.800 don't gotta take a hit, you have a catching a 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.400 conversion to move the sticks up the sideline. He did 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.719 it again two plays later to Jalen Waddle on a 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.960 hook up from the field side slot and to put 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.960 him in between a pocket of Giants defenders right out 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.719 of harm's way. That's gonna make receivers make more better, 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.719 tougher catches for you. The short, hot throw to Albert 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.120 Wilson on third down, and there wasn't much there for 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:54.520 him to work with, But I thought he could have 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.719 planted and driven the ball to get more behind it 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.240 on that throw, because he's slid in kind of in 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.320 one motion to a little hot step and then throw 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.240 us from those flat feet, and I think it cost 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.520 him some velocity. That's an area I think two it 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.760 can maybe work on over the bye week is finding 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.480 more free space in the pocket to set those feet 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.560 and throw with more velocity on some of those throws. 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.240 That's the only time I ever see his arm kind 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.800 of lose velocity on those particular throws. Then some good 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.520 stuff here the first touchdown drive man, the ball was out, 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.520 the ball was on target, It was meeting guys right 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.880 as they hit the top of the route, very precision, 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.720 like he completes eleven of twelve passes on the drive, 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.840 and I think that's where you really saw him kind 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.800 of settle into the game. They're all different kinds of platforms, 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.880 are angles, and yet the ball is right where it 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.360 needs to be each and every time. There was a 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.640 concern about his height coming out. I don't really get 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:43.040 into that. I don't care. As long as you can play, 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.560 you can play. But you would think for a six 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.600 ft quarterback that he would have all kinds of passes 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.600 swatted back in his face of the line, right remember 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.240 Ryan Tannehill back in his rookie season. It happened over 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.320 and over again. It was six ft four. But two, 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.200 what does a good job to manipulate the coverage and 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.680 the defensive line with those ball fakes and the footwork 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.240 in the pocket, and he's very adept at finding those 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.239 passing lanes and adjusting to get it through, said Lane. 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.480 I loved the read on the past to Mike Gisicky 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.120 in the corner of the ends, one that hit him 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.120 in the helmet. He was even he was leaving to 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:12.880 a lays it out there and it was just beyond 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.560 the defensive back's reach. But I won't blame Mike here 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.040 because the defensive back's hand is directly between his two hands, 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:20.600 and that's tough to make a catch that like it 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.440 hits him in the face, So you say he should 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.000 have caught it, But when the ball was going towards 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.240 his hands. The DBS hand was right there too, so 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.000 tough to make that play. I praised the location of 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.600 two in the first half, the third down ball early 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.720 in the third quarter to Jalen Waddle where he comes 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.640 up short of the sticks and the punt team comes on. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.400 That's a good example of what happens when the ball 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.400 does not take the receiver on an out route to 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.520 the sideline. Ball placement is so critical, both good and bad. 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.360 On the very next play, a crossing route to Mike Gatsicky, 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.400 a dime over the top of that second level linebacker 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.400 trying to get depth, but it's too late, but the 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.200 football is dropped, I think across the whole offense and 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.080 to A talked about this a little bit, but he's 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.200 glad they won, but he felt they left some chances 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.360 out there. Thought this play was a very embodiment of 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.040 that type of game. Pretty evident on tape. Something to 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.080 work about here going down the stretch. Something to work 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.160 on going down the stretch. I'm flying baby. Jalen Waddles 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.520 drop was a nice catch, rock throw right into the run. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.360 After the catch, he rips another strong one to Wilson 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.600 on the next play, but Julian Love makes a great 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.320 play to put his hands on it and prevent a 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.839 third and eight conversion. But on that wattle one, he 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:24.640 I think he was gone. I think he was going 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.880 for for a house call on that one. But it's okay. 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:28.880 We got one soon after the twenty five yard rip 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.360 two waddle. It's a double over cross deep crossing routes 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.560 from either side of the formation and Jalen has nothing 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.319 but green grass out in front of him to run 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.600 to and two has that football come out early. Great timing. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.560 Now the throw could have been there a little bit 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.200 more out in front to keep him running maybe, but 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.760 the pass pro was terrific. And I'm a huge fan 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.840 of these split zone looks where you fake the handoff. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.160 Tight end comes across the formation to join the running 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.160 back on the same side of the formation, and they 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.800 go up and chip the outside tackle while the rest 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.360 of the line slides the opposite direction. So you get 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.440 better and more favorable one on one matchup and you 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.880 take on their edge rusher with a two on one look, 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.240 and that on top of the possibility of a possible 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.440 false step laterally, it just helps out the line so much. 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.280 That's been a big part of these game plans recently, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.440 helping the offensive line of past protection and onto that 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.880 ball came out before wild begin to make the cross 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.120 of the crossing route, but again a little bit better 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.920 location I think maybe has a bigger play there. On 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.240 the same drive, the little flip out wide to Albert 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.000 Wilson going in towards the end zone. Man two arrides 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.160 that mesh point for quite a minute there and it 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.240 influences the edge who had one around the outside. To me, 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.840 that's two is best trade in this particular game. His 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.959 ability to manipulate the defense, you have to imagine that's 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.800 very frustrating for a defense try to defend that. Also 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.800 with a quick set up and throw where he's not 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.920 set non ideal mechanics, but still he manages to put 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.680 the ball out wide, which turns Albert Wilson into a 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.640 cutback for a nice catch and run. Again. Placement is 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.719 so very critical on the Isaiah four touchdown just a 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.240 couple of plays later. As a matter of fact, you 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.920 know what Isaiah talked about this in his press conference. 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.000 Let's just go ahead and go to Isaiah to talk 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.360 about the touchdown catch. They really put the Dolphins out 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.160 in front by Lomon points in that fourth quarter. Let's 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.480 go ahead and hear from the Dolphin's receiver. It was 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.920 weird because I hadn't ripped that play all week. Um, 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.040 it's just something that we put in the game plan. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:21.760 Um and uh it was for Jalen, but he was 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.400 scramping and everything. So they trusted me to go in 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.959 there and uh know what to do. Um and went 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.760 out then executed. But that the Giants actually covered it 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.760 pretty well. Uh til I did a extremely good job 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.600 buying some time and kind of deceiving the defense with 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.120 his eyes a little bit and gave me up time 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.480 to boil bag right at the front hil Hunt and 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.120 he he uh threw a great ball and I was 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:46.800 able to make the catch. Now he's not going to 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.679 talk about it himself. I'll go ahead and do it 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.679 for him. Great toe tap and awareness to make sure 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.800 he knew where his feet was before making the catch. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.680 Attempt to make sure that it counted when he secured 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.800 that thing and pulled it in good time or big time. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.120 Touched on there. I should say for the Dolphins quarterback 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.160 to receivers, go ahead and finish up with the two 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.800 third down throws to ice this game here late Devanta 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.920 Parker talked about this on Monday as well, said he 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.400 loves how to recognizes one on one situations and gives 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.760 his guy a chance, and that's what this was. The 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:17.240 Giants had bracketed the field side trips with zone and 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.440 then man on the backside to the boundary to Davante Parker, 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.319 who got on the upfield shoulder of that corner and 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.400 turned him into a full sprint to catch up to 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.800 the potential deep ball, which then allows him to slam 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.000 on the brakes come back to the football. It's a 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.800 terrific route. The throw is just as good and even 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.520 better catch from Devanta moving that or bringing that thing 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.320 into his body away from his body while contorting towards 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:41.600 the sideline, getting the feet into the same time then too, Mike, 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.520 this one was also very nice. The Giants switched up 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.000 to man free and they pressed across the board man 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.320 on man coverage, a single high safety up top and 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.920 Ghasicky stacks his man and blocks him out. It's a 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.920 four man pass rush to Ah throws a perfect ball. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.520 Had to do it right, Go ahead and try it. Okay, 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.960 I'll blash, so there's a perfect pass, but not before 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.120 sliding up in the pocket to mitigate a little bit 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.160 of pressure off the edge, throwing it in rhythm. Really 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.880 nice touch pass. That's a dime to put the game away. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.880 Great job, young man, and again Mike Gasicki his best 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.960 route and catch of the game. Boom baby, let's go. 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.880 Jillen waddle the second catch, the toe tap on the sideline, 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.360 short motion to stack, gets himself a little bit of 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.720 a chip on the defender just to kind of get 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.640 his route set up there, and then he shows his 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.560 number two, plants his feet in bounds. Some nice nuance 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.120 there from the ricky receiver, more veteran type work from him, 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.480 and the location is very very good, just as it 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.520 was all day on those perimeter throws away from danger 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.679 but still in reach for his wide receiver. The second 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.480 and ten first down conversion on that opening drive, he 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.720 just sets down the in between a giant zone. He 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.000 presses outside, and this is what I like about this play. 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.880 He presses outside and you see the corner get with 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.840 and immediately turned his butt to the sideline, which the 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.600 time indicates stone coverage and he flattens it right back 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.640 in behind that curl hook defender at the sticks, and 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.360 the ball is out right when he hits the brake 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.520 and right on him as he turns to the football. 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.560 That type of stuff to force the cornerback to show 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.080 their hands early only helps to I D coverage post snap. 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.440 That's why one of the many, many things about Wattle 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.600 you have to love, and we talk about me on 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.959 the bone, just watch him run all of his reps, 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:16.880 because even when the ball is not going there, you 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.640 see some of his best reps in the game. The 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.600 Parker first back shoulder ball, they try to reroute Waddle 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.000 with a linebacker in addition to the coverage he has 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.320 by the cornerback. He gets on top of the reroute, 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.960 completely sheds it, stacks the slot, and breaks that thing 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.160 off inside. He's open. Obviously we've got sixteen yards on 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.000 that play, but he's open for a potential big game 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.120 there as well. Very pretty work. His third down conversion 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.320 on the first touchdown drive towards the end of the half. 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.040 He takes a slow release and then a quick explosion 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.320 step inside with a nice little rube designed from Davonte Parker. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.360 I just don't know how you cover that. He slow 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.680 steps off the line of scrimmage and basically he sets 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.160 that cornerback up for that kind of I have a 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.200 headstart because I'm moving and you have to react to me. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.440 With his speed and explosiveness, you can't react fast enough. 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.960 And I love the location from two to lead him 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.440 into the ground to get both the first down past 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.320 the sticks, but also protect his receiver. On the Mac 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.760 Collins touchdown, you see both the flat and deep defender 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.560 come up and take the cheese on the flat to waddle. 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.680 They're focused on him. Awesome play designed to play off 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.520 of that focus and sneak that receiver in back to 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.720 the back pylon. That's a very good throw from two 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.960 to the back corner, and Mac makes a tough catch 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.360 for six. And we saw to a or rather Wattle 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.960 get really upset after that loan drop. I have to 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.040 say I think it's because he probably thought he was 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.200 going to score on that play. The safety is coming 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.480 straight downhill. Parker's man, who's right there as well, doesn't 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.200 have an angle if he can run at full speed, 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:39.560 which I think he could have because the ball was 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.520 right on the money, I think it might have been 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.520 a sixty one yeard touchdown if he runs the same 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.760 way he did in the Carolina game. As for Davonte 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:48.600 Parker kind of covered his game a little bit, a 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.160 little bit, but he really caught everything. I was so 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.800 impressed with. Obviously the body control on the sideline grounds, 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.480 with the concentration, the feet, all of it, but even 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.360 on the other throws, he just vacuums that thing and 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.280 it protects it his quarterback and that first back shoulder throw, 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.720 just nice timing to see it, feel it, break it 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.280 off at the time of arrival, and again, terrific location 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.000 on that ball. Thought. Savon Akhmed had the best run 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.400 of the day. Nice patience and a great jump cup 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.720 after pressing inside to help Jesse Davis sustained a block 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.040 and then a really nice run outside for twelve yards. 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.560 Big Rob Hunt had a downfill block on a linebacker 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.280 that was terrific, and Jalen Waddle also had a nice 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:27.480 outside block on that run. Austin Jackson I think continues 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.560 to get better. I mentioned this in his pass pro 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.520 mentioned his passport, I should say. On the very next 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.760 play after that play we talked about the next series, 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.680 he catches a double team with Michael Dieter. It's perfectly 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.560 played hip to hip, shoulders shoulder, and he climbs up 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.000 to the second level and blocks out the sun on 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.200 that second level linebacker. Him and deeeder Man. We'll talk 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.760 about this in the stats portion. They were getting some push, 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.040 a nice seven yard pop on that drive to end 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:52.840 the first half, and a nice call to run the 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.160 ball there. With three time outs in plus territory, a 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.440 minute forty five and the clock, you both take time 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.280 off the clock and get yourself into a second and short, 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.760 which is obviously a very fortunate position to be in. 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.400 Later on, he gets himself a pancake on a short 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.760 gas and run. I thought he was driving guys off 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:11.320 the football pretty continuously and consistently throughout the course of 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.400 this game. In general, I think the doubles on this 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.080 line are really good across the board. There's lots of 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.359 opportunities there where they create situations where the running back 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.560 is one on one at the second level with a linebacker, 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.880 and hopefully we can start winning some more of those matchups. 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.720 Hunter Long, I think there's something there with him in 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.920 the run blocking game. Early on, he had a really 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.760 good rep on Leonard Williams, which he did enough to 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.840 keep him at Bay while Robert Hunt pulled backside to 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.920 help wipe him out on a double. That's a tough 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:40.760 ask for a tight end, though much less a first 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.200 year player against a guy Leonard Williams. She's played like 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.800 a hundred and seven straight games in his pro career, 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.120
