We got plenty of talk on Thanksgiving, 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.000 but we also talked plenty of football here, and we'll 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.400 start with Coach discussing the Dolphins potential contingencies in the 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.800 absence or potential absence I should say of Jesse Davis 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.640 or Solomon Kinley. Davis, of course, added to COVID I 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.400 are earlier in the week, and Solomon Kinley was taken 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.560 out of the game with an aggravated foot injury that 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.720 he entered the game with on one day. Let's go 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.000 ahead and get to Coach on some of the guys 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.640 who have been on the offensive line this season. We 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.639 just haven't seen very much of them because the starting 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.000 offensive line has been relatively healthy and we don't have 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.320 to see how this goes on practice. Um, you know, 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.320 we've got, you know, a few few guys who haven't 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:21.000 played much but practice well in training camp, and you know, 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.000 throughout the course of the year. So you know you 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:28.880 mentioned Dieter, Uh, Panky, Davenport. We gotta some guys who 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:34.919 have played in games, have some experience, and we'll see 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.600 how it goes in practice. I think they're all reving 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:42.000 for an opportunity if if that opportunity presents itself in 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.520 we'll just at to see how it goes in practice 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.000 and get the best five out there and the best 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.359 combination of players. And like coach says, if that opportunity 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.720 does in fact present itself, you could be getting a 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.800 look at one of those three guys he mentioned, Adam 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.320 Panky and Julian Davenport, who both have played Sperry Lead 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.720 this season. Pinky has been an additional eighth offensive lineman 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.359 when he's been active and and on the game day 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.240 roster with not on the inactive list four game days. 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.239 And Julian Davenport also came into the Seahawks game way 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.320 back in Week four and played six reps and did 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.639 a pretty damn good job out there at left tackle. 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.639 And then you also heard him talk about Michael Dieter, 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.720 who we haven't seen him once this season. He's been 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.440 a you know where you want your reserve lineman to 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.760 be because again, good health on the offensive lines paramount. 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.360 But I am curious to see what maybe Dieter looks 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.200 like in his second year, if he is to get 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.880 the opportunity to play a little bit down the stretch here. 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.800 He played some guards, some tackle last year, even played 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.440 some center in college. This guy has some versatility. He's 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.200 a smart kid, a tough, tough kid, and a hard worker. 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.240 And of course he had those consecutive start streak at Wisconsin. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.800 Type of guy that you can really develop and grow 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.360 in your program. And so with each of those three guys, 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.640 as coach always talks about rookie, veteran or otherwise, you're 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.000 always going to be developing these players on your roster, 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.240 A little bit of me is curious to what we 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.840 have in those three guys if the opportunity does in 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.760 fact present itself. So again, one of these issues of 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.400 depth a good problem to have, right It's a problem 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.560 if you don't know who to play because you have 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.960 so many good guys. That's a good problem to have 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.760 if you're the Miami Dolphins. Up next, Coach discussed briefly 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.760 here the engagement or interaction with two a Tungue Vyloa 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.800 after the decision to go to Ryan Fitzpatrick on Sunday 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.600 in the Denver game. Here's coach on Toa's response to 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:31.680 the benching. He's been fine. I think it's it's a 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:36.120 little bit of adversity that's never hurt anyone. He's fine. 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.440 We did our normal Tuesday meeting yesterday. What's with the 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:47.159 Jets and no issues. And up next, Miles Gaskin is 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.480 eligible to come off the injured reserve this week if 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.400 he is ready, if the Dolphins feel he is ready 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.279 to be activated. Here's coach Flora's on the potential of 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.600 Miles Gaskin's return. Doing everything you can to get back. 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.440 He's al jibuta to come off with. And we'll make 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.560 a decision on that here whether or not come back 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:11.480 to practice. So um, but he's he's definitely made some 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.279 some games over the last few weeks and we'll see 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.839 how it goes. And let's get one more football question 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.200 here for coach before we start talking about Turkey Ham 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.159 and Thanksgiving. Here's coach talking about the run game, both 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:27.080 offensively and defensively. I just got to continue to practice, um, 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.599 and then it's about execution. And I think we got 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.240 to try to find different ways to you know, put 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:38.080 the players in better positions to uh, to to have 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.159 some success in the run game on both sides, offensively 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.359 and defensively. You know, there's a there's a lot of 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.159 different ways to do things in this league, you know, 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.799 different personnels, different schemes. So we haven't we haven't tried 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.440 every every avenue think any team has, but we have 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.320 to do with um you know, keep keep looking for 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.200 those those different ways to create some opportunities for ourselves, 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:04.840 whether it's and if it's something that we were unfamiliar with, 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.919 and maybe we do that. But at the same time, 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.000 you know, the things that there are always Hey, if 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.600 we did if we've got one blog, we would just 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.800 sprung that one. Or if you know, we handled that movement, 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.479 we would have sprung this one. It's a little bit 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.000 of back and forth on the best ways to to 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.440 try to make those improvements. But you know they're constant, 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.200 constant conversations and we've been having them. Um, we have 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.080 them every day. M M. You know, not necessarily just 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.000 on the things that we struggle with, but you know, 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.640 even the things that we haven't struggled with, So you know, 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:39.560 that's coaching. There's a lot of different conversations and communication 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.400 and we're all just trying to get better, change Josh Danny, 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.160 and they're just constantly trying to do everything they can 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.880 to help you put these guys in position into to 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.919 be successful. We'll continue to do that. I really enjoy 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:56.640 hearing that note there from Coach about the single instances 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.840 that can disrupt a play. We talk about a team 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.240 game all the time on podcast All the Time with 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.359 Coach about how play execution requires eleven guys most of 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.480 the times to make it happen, and if you have 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.400 one league or one problem, it can blow things up. 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.160 And you know, watching the All twenty two, we talked 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.880 about it on the Tuesday podcast. You see that a 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.280 few times, whether it's the passing game, the running game, defensively, offensively, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.080 whatever it might be. I think that there's so many 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.480 instances where this team might be even closer to having 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.600 more of a running game, better run defense, and playing 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.480 better football. And that's funny to say off of a 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.680 five game winning streak, you know, the previous loss in 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.320 Denver notwithstanding, but a team playing good football. I've talked 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.080 about it for weeks now that there is some more 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.000 meat on the bone, and so it's cool to hear 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.240 coach Flora's talk about how those one block or the 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.120 one movement, if we handle something a little better, maybe 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:47.200 we can get, if not significant, at least marginal improvements 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.440 in these areas that can have a greater impact on 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.160 the on the result of these games. On Sunday, let's 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.000 go ahead and finish up here with coach Floress talking 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.080 about Thanksgiving says his favorite holiday. Gotta love him for that, 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.280 but you also have to love this comment on the 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.440 things that coaches thankful for this holiday season. You know, 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.160 I'm thankful for health. I think the first thing that 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.120 came to mind. I'm thankful for my wife puts up 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:11.000 with my nonsense on a daily basis and handles our household. 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.920 And here's a great mother to our kids and a 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.720 great wife and great you know everything. So she's the 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.920 first person that comes to mind. You know, my family. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.360 I'm thankful with the head coach of his team. I'm 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.040 very blessed. My life could have gone a few different ways, 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.320 and to be sitting in this position is I'm thankful 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.440 for And how about the most important topic of the day, 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.760 turkey or ham, or a turkey and ham family, so 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.640 you'll see both on the table. Um, you know, my mom, 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.800 this was her this was her holiday, so it's funny 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:45.319 she actually had m I think Jenny stole a few 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.480 of her recipes, so I still get a little taste 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.439 of mom's cooking and Thanksgiving. So yeah, we're a turkey, 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.040 ham stuffing, potatoes, greens. I mean there's a lot on 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.760 the table. There's there's always too much. And so that's 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.360 really a cool note. They're from Coach talk about, you know, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.640 his wife carrying on his mother's recipe so he can 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.439 still have that taste of of back home and childhood, 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.400 and that's kind of what holidays and Thanksgiving are all about. 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.080 And he talked about turkey and ham. There. I'm gonna 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.880 go ahead and drop my power rankings here for you 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.280 guys on the best Thanksgiving dishes, And personally, I'm a 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.600 turkey guy. I think the protein is the most important 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.600 aspect because you've got to have protein at every single meal. 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.520 But really there's only four dishes that actually matter on 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.640 Thanksgiving and they are turkey. The ham is fine, but 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.640 I think where the turkey really takes that's game to 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.200 the next level is the mixture of turkey with the 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.840 true champion of the entire meal, where the turkey really 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.679 leaves the ham in the dust. It's the mashed tatoes 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.400 and gravy, that combination of just kind of slathering it 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.920 all together and eating it kind of like a KSC 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.720 Famous Bowl like you're twelve years old. Again, that's my 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.880 go to move. So turkey, mashed tatoes, and gravy and stuffing. 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.679 You have to have stuffing, and I don't really care 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.640 if it's stovetop or whatever. It's just good stuff regardless, 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.959 and that goes into the mixed mash of the famous bowl. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.760 And then the fourth and final dish is the green 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.200 being cast role. You can take everything else. Take your 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.200 cranberry sauce, take your games, take your whatever. Also, please 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.040 give me a dinner role. But those are the four 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.440 things I need. Most importantly is the mashed tatoes and gravy, 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.840 the turkey, stuffing, and the green being cast role. But 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.079 most importantly it's the family of the football and the spirits. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.480 For me, my wife's family kind of adopted me as 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.400 one of their own when we first met about five 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.000 years ago, and that became a Thanksgiving Day tradition for 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.360 us going over to her father's house. We would get 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.160 the drinks going, get the food going, get the football 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.040 on the television. That's the best part about having a 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.440 wife with a father who loves football. Make sure you 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:38.960 have that because then you can sit there and watch 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.079 the games all day and not be preoccupied with parades 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.320 or other nonsense that no one. No one wants to 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.400 watch that stuff. Football is on the TV. That's the 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.160 most important thing. But um, that tradition started about five 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.680 years ago for us. Unfortunately, with the way the world 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.320 is right now, it stops this year. Hopefully continue that 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.560 in the future. But that's the best part about Thanksgiving, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.560 spending time with the people you love and watching football. 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.640 Speak of football, how about Dolphins and Jets on Sunday. 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.560 Let's go ahead and break down this game on the 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:08.080 preview article up on Miami Dolphins dot com. And I 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.240 know we have a six and four Dolphins team against 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.520 o inten Jets team. Kickoff is at one o'clock. Thankfully, 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.800 I'm so looking forward to a one o'clock kickoff again 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.720 on Sunday, November twenty nine. That MetLife Stadium fifty degrees 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.560 mostly sunny, chance of rain and seven mile an hour wins. 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.680 And again, I know it's an O intent football team, 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.920 but do you really need motivation to get up for 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.760 Jets week? I certainly don't. Because the old adage in 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.640 the NFL says that there are two outcomes to any game, 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.880 winning and learning. And head coach Brian Flores is adamant 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.040 that there was no such thing as a perfect game. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.360 So this team is always gonna be on the search, 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.920 as you even heard him talk about in his press 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.920 conference today, on the search for improvement in all areas 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.920 of the game. And this is the first time in 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.200 almost two months this Dolphins team has to go to 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.640 the learning side of that adage. Again, they learned every week, 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.199 but winning or learning, you come off your first loss 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.520 in almost two months. I'm really curious see how this 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.560 team responds to the game. And too, you know, a 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.760 game they go into is as favorites as far as 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.439 what the national media perspective is, and you know, all 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.439 the talk about this team having a chance to get 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.480 to nine and three. I want to see if maybe 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.720 they can take some of that medicine and say, you know, 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.080 we can't read the press clippings, we have to be 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.280 a focus on every single day, and not to say 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:18.880 that they're not that, but I am curious to see 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.040 how they respond come out of the gates, keep playing 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:22.920 well in the first part of games. In the first 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.680 quarter in the first half, coach did say, hopefully we 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.679 learned from that game. I think there are other plays 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.640 throughout the game that we didn't make from drop balls 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.840 a protection standpoint. Defensively in the running game, it looked 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.280 like we came clean on a pump block and didn't 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.760 make that one either. We've got to take advantage of 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.839 our opportunities, so I want to see how they take 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.000 advantage of the opportunities. This game on Sunday presents them 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.920 up in New York and the opportunity there to sweep 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.240 a division rival. Things have not gone the way the 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.800 Jets hope this season. Obviously, Oh and ten still in 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.160 search of their first victory, but that doesn't mean they're 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.640 breaft of talent on either side of the football. We 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.240 saw how disruptive that defensive line can be. A few 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.240 weeks in a row. They played well against my Amy 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.000 in the second half of that game. They got after 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.200 the Patriots a few weeks ago played well in that game, 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.720 and last week against the Chargers, they were throwing into 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.600 the end zone with a chance to tie the game 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.640 after the two minute warning and had a chance to 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.640 go win that football game too, So they're not far 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.360 off from winning games. That's how this league goes. We 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:19.120 heard Byron Jones on his Monday press conference talk about 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.559 how down this stretch, this part of the season, you're 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.600 gonna get tighter football games. You're not gonna have the 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.280 benefit of jumping out to those early leads. You need 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.720 to make sure you're playing silence, solid football every week, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.400 sixty minutes a week, and be ready for whatever the 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.560 opposition is gonna throw you, whether they're trying to stay 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.760 in the playoff race themselves or they're trying to spoil 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.760 your playoff run. Things get tighter this time of year. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.480 And with that we go to our first matchup. Highlight 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.520 of the week here and I just wrote down to 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.439 beat the blitz on the article because Greg Williams, the 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.560 Jets defensive coordinator, he loves to turn the heat up. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.079 He plays that single high look with everybody up on 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.600 the line of scrimmage, a safety about twenty yards off 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.920 the ball. It's akin often to what Miami does with 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.600 Bobby McCain playing that deep center field, They'll use that 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.840 deep center and center fielder and Marcus Made to kind 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.600 of patrol things back there. They send an extra rusher. 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.439 They blitz at the tenth most frequent clip in the NFL, 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.480 that's thirty point nine percent, and he'll draw up some 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.800 some exotic things, whether it's mugging up the A gaps 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.319 coming with cat blitz, double cat blitz. You have two 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.960 cornerbacks coming off either edge. You watch the tape, they 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.520 find different ways to generate pressure. Again, kind of like 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.560 Miami does in terms of using different various looks and 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.680 different fronts. Like Josh Bowyer talked about. Last year, they 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.360 had the fourth highest clip of blitzing at thirty nine 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.520 point two percent. So I'm sure there's a little bit 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.960 of game plan strategy involved as far as how often 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.120 they will send that blitz. But you know what's going 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.320 to come. And the Dolphins counter to that is a 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.880 quarterback who I've talked about all season long, all off 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.360 season long, who excels against the blitz and two a 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.760 tongue of Byloa. He has thrown four of his six 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.560 touchdown passes against the blitz for a passer rating of 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.680 one hundred point six and an adjusted accuracy rating on 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.840 Pro Football Focus that's on target footballs of sixty four 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.840 point one percent. And also the best way to help 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:02.960 fourth the blitz in addition to a quick release, a 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.920 quick processor replacing the blitz with the football from the 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.520 quarterback is blocking up the interior pass rush really helps 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.760 give that quarterback that clean pocket in the front so 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.800 he can pick and slide to his spots and and 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.560 choose his his platform to get to to have a 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.560 safe avenue to throw the football. This season, the Dolphins 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.720 interior offensive line play with Eric Flowers and Ted Carriss 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.880 not missing a snap at left garden center and then 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.840 the right guard position of being a bit of a 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.160 mixed match between Solomon Kindley and Jesse Davis. Those four 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.360 guys at those positions have allowed just thirty four quarterback 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.160 pressures and eleven quarterback hits this year on a combined 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.040 one thousand, one hundred and thirty four pass blocking snap. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.520 So getting the interior blitz block of the Jets should 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.760 give to a chance to excel in our second area 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.360 of highlight here, let's get vertical and that talks about 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.760 the offense and defense. The Dolphins have struggled to push 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:55.200 the ball vertically in recent weeks. According to Sharp Football 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.960 Stats Warren Sharp dost fantastic analytic stuff on sharp football 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.720 dot com myame ranks and explosive passing offense. Those are 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.600 twenty plus yard plays at a seven point one percent clip. 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.280 The Jets rank in the same category, allowing nine point 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.120 eight percent big plays on defense in the passing game 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.520 tongue by lower back. In college, he was a downfield master, 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.640 nineteen for thirty nine on throws twenty plus yards down 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:22.240 the field, almost fifty on what traditionally is a low 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.960 percentage throw, and he hit those for nine touchdowns and 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.200 no picks. Well. As a member of the Dolphins. Here 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.800 in the NFL, he's three of twelve on those deep throws. 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:31.920 So I do expect that gap to be close here 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.640 a little bit. Can it start this week? Hopefully? Per 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.200 Pro Football Focus, four Jets cornerbacks have allowed better than 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.320 fourteen yards per reception this season, so there's some opportunity 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.560 to get deep on this defense. Again, we talked about 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.000 the single high safety and everybody mugged up on the line. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.160 You get that thing block, you're gonna have one on 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.920 one opportunities to whichever side the safety does not cheat. 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:52.400 So it's gonna be up to two to kind of 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.520 hold that safety and to move him to the opposite 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.960 side of the field and to create no help on 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.800 guys like Davante Parker, maybe Mike get Sick or jackem 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.200 whoever might be that wants to get vertical to us. 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.840 Job is to move that safety and create that opportunity. 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:08.119 And tied in Mike Kasicki, he's responsible for Miami's longest 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.439 offensive play this season. That's seventy yard or back in 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.520 Week five at San Francisco. But the next longest play 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.600 for this Dolphins passing game among active players Preston Williams 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.720 not counting because he does have a forty seven yard 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:20.800 in a thirty two yard and a thirty five yard 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.760 is a thirty yard completion to receiver Jakeem Grant. So 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.159 I do expect this passing offense to get more vertical, 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.440 to get better in that area. And because last season 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:32.000 Davante Parker caught twenty passes of twenty or more yards 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.440 through ten games, this year, he's only caught two of those, 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.919 So there are areas for growth right there for the 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.560 Dolphins deep passing offense. And the third and final note 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.840 here is to make the Jets quarterback feel the heat. 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.600 We kind of use this every single week, and there's 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.879 a reason for it because the Dolphins defense has implemented 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.439 the same recipe in the six victories this season. In 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.040 six wins, one hundred and thirty three quarterback pressures per PFF. 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.960 That's twenty two point two pressures per game compared to 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.840 forty six pressures in the four losses, just eleven point five, 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.280 almost half as many pressures in the losses, and that 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.200 includes a season high twenty nine pressures in the Week 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:10.200 six win over the Jets zip shutout that featured seven 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.520 three and outs, a turnover, and three sacks, and quarterbacks 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.040 Joe Flacco and Sam Donald both endure statistical drop offs 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.320 when under durest this season. Flacco's passer rating under pressure 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.840 is sixty three point five, while Donald's is sixty point one. 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.200 We'll find out which quarterback plays here shortly this week, 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.080 I'm sure. And in the Weeks six shutout of the 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.520 Jets defensive end, Emmanuel Ogball collected a career high ten 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.240 quarterback pressures and brought Flacco down for a pair of sacks. 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.280 Fellow defensive ends Shack Lawson also had four quarterback pressures 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.840 in that game, so a lot of pressures fourteen from 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.360 your two main defensive ends in that game. If those 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:45.040 guys can do that again, the Dolphins should have a 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.280 good chance to put the Jets offense on ice, put 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.040 the clamps on them and hold them to a low 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.760 point total once again, and hopefully that helps them get 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.399 back to the victory circle. The Jets scheme offensively, they 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.840 ranked thirty second, scoring at fourteen point nine points per game, 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.520 total yards at two sixty eight point six per game, 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.920 and passing at one seventy point one seventy per game. 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.720 There nine point six rushing yards per game is twenty 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:09.800 six in the NFL. And under Adam Gates, we know 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.520 about this. They love to run the eleven personnel package 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.679 one or one running back, one tight end, three receivers. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.360 They've called that seventy five point three percent of their 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.679 offensive snaps this year, and only one other personnel grouping 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:25.040 twelve personnel, which is one back, two tight ends, two receivers. 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.520
