<v Speaker 1>nothing victory. All of that more on this Sunday, October

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:13.400

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>into this game, I was very curious about this because

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>we know how comfortable the Dolphins victories have been. The

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>two victories they have so far under or over rather

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville and San Francisco, with a seventeen win a thirteen win.

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I was just very curious about how often the Dolphins

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>win games in blowout fashion, and I was expecting to

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>have to go back further. But you might recall the

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and fourteen season, the Dolphins had six victories

0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>by double digits. They played some games where they just

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>wipe people off the field quickly with a high scoring

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>offense and good defensive performances. And I did think I

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>was gonna have to go back further than that, because

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>over the past five years two thousand fifteen through two

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>thousand nineteen, Dolphins have five double digit wins total, So

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>coming up close to that this season with three already

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>with a twenty four to nothing victory over the New

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>York Jets and absolute dominant performance from the defense. The

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>a f C East standings now because of the Patriots

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>loss against the Denver Broncos and the Jets loss here

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>at home to the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills are four

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and one. They have the Chiefs tomorrow with Patrick Mahomes

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the defending Super Bowl champions, Dolphins at three and three,

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Patriots at two and three, Jets at oh and six,

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins and second place in the a f C East,

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And if Kansas City can take care of Buffalo tomorrow,

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>then I'll put us one game within the lead for

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the a f C East Division. So I talked about

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>this on Friday, or maybe it was Thursday, not gonna

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>start looking at the standings, But here we are talking

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>standings in week number six, And let's go ahead and

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>start this Sunday night, reek half edition of the Drive

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Time podcast as we do weekly, taking a look at

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the stats from Miami's to zero twin win win win

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>over rival New York. Let's go ahead and turn that

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>down real quick. Over the Jets. The Dolphins had a

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>defensive showing. This probably gonna put them quite a bit

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>up in the rankings in terms of yards allowed, points against.

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>All the fun stuff we talked about on the Tuesday

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>podcast here on Drivetime, the Dolphins defense allows just two

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty three yards one hundred and fifteen on

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the ground, a couple those big runs in that second

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>half with the scoreboard looking pretty lopsided. One hundred and

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>forty eight passing yards for the Jets. The Jets were

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>four of twenty on third and fourth down. In fact,

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it wasn't until their thirteen third down conversion

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>they picked one up there late in that second half.

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>On third down, the Jets were just two of seventeen

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>in the game. They got two out of three fourth

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>downs in the game. Dolphins also had an interception and

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>three sacks and committed just five penalties for twenty five

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>yards compared to the Jets seven for eight arts and

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>had the ball for twenty eight minutes compared to the

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Jets thirty two minutes. In this game, Dolphins did have

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>more turnovers rather with two. They also gave up two

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>sacks on the day, and the Dolphins had three two

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>yards of offense one ten rushing, one two passing, and

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>we're just one for nine on third down. We're gonna

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>talk more about that third down here in just one

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>second let's go ahead and dive right away into the takeaways,

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>my five takeaways before we get into John Congemmi's three

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 1>takeaways later in the podcast. And number one was part

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>of the game plan we talked about on Thursday to

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.280
<v Speaker 1>heat up Joe Flacco, but primarily on the interior with

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>those rushes, bringing linebackers and get those big defensive tackles

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of moving guys backwards and filtering in linebackers behind them,

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.479
<v Speaker 1>just constantly putting pressure in the face of Joe Flacco.

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>And you saw it right away the very first third

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>down of the game. He has to throw off his

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>back foot and kind of fade away and take a

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>vertical shot up against Byron Jones, and I think it

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>was twice against Byron Jones. He went for too Brashad

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Perriman just falling off that back foot. Because the only

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 1>option you have when you're a quarterback that maybe doesn't

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>move like a Russell Wilson or a Josh Allen to

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>go side to side. You're only option in the rushes

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in your face like that is to kind of fall

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.159
<v Speaker 1>away from the rush so you can get the throw

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>off and then put it up there and give your

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>guy a chance to make a play. We've seen Fitzpatrick

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>do that, and Fitzpatrick obviously does have that scrambled ability,

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.159
<v Speaker 1>but we've seen him with three rushers in his face.

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>You just kind of have to protect yourself, fall away

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.559
<v Speaker 1>and throw the ball up, and he does that so well.

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.159
<v Speaker 1>Flacco did that the first I want to say, five

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>or six throws of the game. Dolphins just consistently put

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>pressure right up the middle. They were doing stunts, they

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>were running games, they were doing different types of blitzes,

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>different coverages. One of my favorite looks in the game

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>was going cover zero in the third quarter at one

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 1>point with McCain up on the line of scrimmage, pressed

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>up against the receiver to really put the screws to

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>the Jets. I think it was at the point where

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>they still had like over twelve on third down and

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>they wanted to get that third and two stop, and

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>it did work on that place. So Dolphins defense just

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>pushed all the right buttons him, not stepping into throws,

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>constantly forcing him to come off the first read because

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>of good coverage downfield, the way the rush and the

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>coverage kind of sinks up. You hear coach Flores and Joe,

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Alexander and Mary and Hobby and Josh Boyer talk about

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>that so so much and how important it is for

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>a defense, and we're gonna talk more about some of

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the other plays later on in the podcast, but to

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>just see Sam eg Von come in and have such

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>a big impact a year after being such a prominent

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>fixture on the Dolphins defense and playing so many snaps,

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.159
<v Speaker 1>has done so well to accept a special team's role

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.799
<v Speaker 1>and a sub package linebacker. I talked to my buddy

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Kevin during this Morning formerly of the Analysis podcast at

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Kevin m D four and I was talking to him

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>about how I was really pleased with the way that

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>both Tyshan Render and Sam Edgban played last week, and

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>in this potential absence of Kyle van Noy, who was

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.840
<v Speaker 1>questionable coming in and Shack Lawson was questionable coming in,

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>we wind up losing Andrew van Ginkl in the game

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 1>he did not return with a concussion, and Commu grug

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Hill did come back in after a hand injury. The

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>way these linebackers were, you know, getting dinged up for

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Sam edg Van to step right in and have such

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.160
<v Speaker 1>a big impact in those sub packages. We talked all

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>training camp long last year about how explosive this guy was,

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>how fast he was, how he can rush the quarterback.

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>And he was up on PFF's off ball linebackers at

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the top of the list, top two or three in

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>terms of total pressure. So you knew how this Dolphins

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 1>defense used him throwing him at the quarterback relentlessly and

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>for him to get pressure and get on the quarterback.

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 1>And just to watch the way this defense can fill

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>in and have bodies step up and replacement of other

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>bodies is fun to watch with that interior pressure. Let's

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and play some sound here from Christian Wilkins.

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I asked him postgame about the way the Dolphins mixed

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>things up and the plan to put pressure on the

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>opposing quarterback, but also to kind of break down the

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>sack he had with Sam eg Van, who's had a

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>great pick stunt on the play to free up Wilkins,

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and Wilkins says that he definitely recognized Sam ag Von

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>helping him make that play would be more than helping him. Well, yeah,

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>we've been doing a lot of different things. We've just

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>been saying all the multiple in art and art and

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>our stuff and just guys work hard. Guys really want

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacks, so we're working hard to get after him. Um.

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>And on that play, Uh, Sam just did a good

0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>job setting me up. Um. He did a kind of

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>move inside, didn't just you know, hit the center and

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I was able to come free. Um. So I had

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>to make sure I find Sam because you know, I

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have made that play without him. And that's that's

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>the great thing about football. It's the ultimate team sport.

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>And I definitely I know for a fact that would

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>have made the play with us him. So you're gonna

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 1>hear a lot of that theme on this podcast guys

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.119
<v Speaker 1>passing credit. It's it's one of those things that maybe

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you get a little bit frustrated with in the media

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 1>when these guys say cliche things, right like we're gonna,

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna play for each other, we're gonna, you know,

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>take it one game at a time. We're gonna it's

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>more than a one guy sport. But to see them

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>put those words into action and have it bear fruit

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>in big victories, it really changes the way you perceive it.

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 1>When these guys consistently play with the same mentality, the

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>same mindset, and the same just general philosophy of their

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.679
<v Speaker 1>head coach and not sure it's fun to watch for

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>this Dolphins defense and entire football team. Jerome Baker, Landon

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Roberts both got in there as well. They were in

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 1>my notes here for the pressure getting on the quarterback

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 1>point number two. Takeaway number two was a point to

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>establish the run and I thought they really did a

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>good job of that early in this game. It's set

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 1>a temple for this game. Wore down that Jets defense

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 1>early and helped get the defense arrests they can get

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>back onto the field and make a bunch of plays.

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>The very first touchdown drive, it was the Dolphins second

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.199
<v Speaker 1>drive of the game. The very first drive stalled out

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>on a three and out, but on the touchdown drive,

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>four rushes for forty two yards on that drive, three

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>forty seven coming to Miles Gascon and Brita had won

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>five yard carry on that drive. And Brian Flores talks

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>about trying to improve on things that you can get

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>better at. Right, every player, every team, every unit has

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>things they can work on to get better. And he

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>talks about it with the young guys. He talks about

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>it with guys that have success on a game and

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 1>how they can build upon that and improve other things

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>in their game, Like if you're good at one thing,

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe you can work on if you're good at rushing

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the pastor for instance, maybe you can work on your

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>run game. And for this Dolphins offense, I think that

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>was an area they wanted to come out and really

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>develop and and show that they were going to be

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a strong running team that can be a balanced offense.

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And they executed on that level. You heard coach Flores

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 1>talk about it last week and the win over San Francisco,

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 1>how he liked the way they were able to get

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 1>chunk gains and try to help run the clock out

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>through the running game. Chan Gailey talked about it, We

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to pass as much because the running game

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>gave us those twelve fifteen yard gallops that would keep

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the offense going. With the rushing game and the career

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 1>high day for Miles Gaskin one six yards from scrimmage

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 1>for him. I wrote down my notes the push of

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line. My individual notes had Jesse Davis wiping

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.839
<v Speaker 1>out a player off a wine bag run off his edge.

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I had Ted Carriss getting good push a couple of times.

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 1>My notes Eric Flowers getting to the second level, moving

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 1>linebackers out of the way for Gaskin, chunk runs, Robert

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Hunt displacing body, Solomon Kinley with a body count, and

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 1>then back to Miles Gaskin. For a team that talks

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>about consistency so much, and going back to the themes

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>of this team, right, he is the bell of the

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>ball when it comes to consistency because this dude is

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>consistently hitting those wine back runs. He consistently surges through

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>the arm tackles and turns out extra gardage through contact.

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Because you know, the defense hits the hits the ball

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>carrier and they want to stand him up and not

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>let him get extra yards. But Gaskin always finds a

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.599
<v Speaker 1>way to kind of angle his shoulder or dip in

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 1>under the shoulder pad of the opposing tackler and get

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>those extra two or three yards, and all of a sudden,

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not second and six, it's second and four, and

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the playbook just expands more upon that. He consistently preaches improvement,

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 1>he consistently works at it. Let's go ahead and hear

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>from Miles gasking and my question for him posting about

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the way the offensive line has continued to be consistent

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.079
<v Speaker 1>in the way they block, because we talked to Miles

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>after the Jacksonville game and I wanted to ask him

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.320
<v Speaker 1>what it was about the way these these guys block

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.680
<v Speaker 1>up front that suits his running style. And so now

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.199
<v Speaker 1>that Austin Jackson's not in there and Robert Hunt has

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>replaced him with Jesse Davis swinging over to the other

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>side of the offensive line, I wanted to get Miles

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>to to give us an opinion about how this offensive

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>line just basically replaced a player and stepped right up

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>and kind of go back to that first takeaway with

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>how consistent this team is in their messaging. Here's Miles

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Miles gasking about his offensive line and how he can

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 1>do better himself as a running back as those guys

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>work on every day. Very talented Google guys and a

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>very own Usually when you see that group of guys

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that are very talented, sometimes they're not coachable. But those

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>guys are coachable and they're not afraid to speak up,

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:05.839
<v Speaker 1>Like when I'm in the wrong or say I hate

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the wrong, all that they're going to tell me am

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 1>like what the hell you looking at or something like that,

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. So those guys work hard

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>every single day. It motivates me to work hard for them.

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 1>It's so much easier to be accountable. And this is

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 1>just my own experience speaking here, so I have to

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>imagine it's true for football players. It's so much easier

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to hold people accountable when you have a high level

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:30.439
<v Speaker 1>relationship and a positive working relationship with those people, right

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Like I can tell my brother, who I've known for

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>a billion years, hey, you're screwing up right here, whereas

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe for someone I don't know as well, it's a

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 1>little more uncomfortable. So when you see these guys on

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.559
<v Speaker 1>the sideline high five and giving their backup quarterback and

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 1>standing ovation as it goes in the game, we'll talk

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>about that in one second. Every interaction you see with

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 1>this team is all positive. They're pumped up for each other,

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>and we'll hear coach Florence talk about that as well.

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 1>You just it's it's consistent in the way they preach it,

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and I think that also has that accountability factor to that.

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>You hear Myles gas can talk about there with the

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>offensive line, like hey you didn't see that cutback lane,

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>or hey I had him bounce, Why didn't you just

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and bang that thing. Like to have that

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>type of accountability and self policing, man, that's that's a

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>good sign to have for a football team. Take Away

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 1>number three the ability to absolutely put your foot on

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the neck of the opponent and bury somebody. And we

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.079
<v Speaker 1>talked about the first time with three double digit wins

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 1>since and the mindset of the head coach and the

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>entire football team to to make it a point to

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 1>finish the game and play hard for sixty minutes. We're

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna hear from coach Flora's on that here in just

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.840
<v Speaker 1>one second. But at the end of the first half,

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 1>they get a stop short of the sticks, and Flora's

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.079
<v Speaker 1>is down there calling time outs despite the fact that

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.439
<v Speaker 1>they have a twenty one nothing lead, Like, yeah, we're

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna take advantage of the fact that we can get

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 1>a ball back here, we can get some more points

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>on the board, and we're gonna put this team out

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of their misery and end this game right now. I

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 1>love the aggressive play calling, the aggressive approach to managing

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the game. We saw him go for it on fourth

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 1>down in his own territory last week because they were

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>confident in the call. That's what you're doing Madden right,

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.599
<v Speaker 1>you feel good about your call, you play call you

0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.080
<v Speaker 1>have on fourth and one, then you're gonna go for

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>it like try Sen. Your coaching, trusting your players, trusting

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the execution, and that's what coach Floras does consistently. Now,

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 1>he talked a little bit about the shutout and how

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.719
<v Speaker 1>important that was this team, and I wanted to go

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>ahead and play that audio for you guys, And we'll

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and start with coach Floress talking about how

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>they were able to shut out the Jets on offense

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.440
<v Speaker 1>with good practice, good calls from Josh Boyer. I'll go

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>ahead and let him finish his thought here, contributions from

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different guys. Guys made plays and um

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 1>and they played for sixty minutes. I'm proud of that effort.

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 1>And uh, that's the way. That's the focus we need,

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>um really, you know, throughout the league. And then you

0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 1>got execute player on the game I thought they did

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 1>so to go ahead and get that fourth down stop

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 1>when the Jets were into field goal range and possibly

0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna punch it in for a touchdown there at the

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>end of the game, to get in completions, to get

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>no way a bonogamy back in coverage, breaking up balls,

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 1>running guys out of the back of the end zone.

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Just like he talked about sixty minutes, How can you

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>ask for more than that? To have these guys step

0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 1>up and play hard for an entire game when you

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>know it was twenty one nothing, a three score game

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 1>at halftime. To play that hard the entire four quarters

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>has a lot about the makeup and personality of this

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 1>football team. Let's go ahead and let coach continue. Has

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 1>thought about the importance and how it feels to get

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a shut out, you know, defensive minded coach, how it

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 1>feels for him to shut somebody out on a Sunday. Yeah,

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, there's a lot of these guys

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 1>like playing together. So when other guys make plays where

0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>there's offense, defense, special teams, you see, uh, a lot

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>of excitement, a lot of energy. So guys were excited

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>for but to make a play. Guys excited about the

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>situation and getting to stop and get him out of

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>field goal range um, and they were excited about, you know,

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the potentially two to get a shut out. So I mean,

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what I'd like to see, you know, guys, you

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>know enjoying, enjoying kind of the process of working through

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the week, prep and preparing, walk through these meetings, practice,

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and then we're on executing on a on a Sunday afternoon. Um,

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I think they're they're just they're just happy about for

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 1>each other and kind of weeping some of the And

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 1>that's that's why I talk about right the same consistent

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>messaging we've heard all season long. We're gonna be a

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>team that cares for each other. We about the right guys,

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's not about the best fifty three. It's about

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the right fifty three. And you can talk about it

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>in the spring, in the summer, in training camp, and

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe the first couple of games you're not winning. But

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 1>then when you see victories and you see it every

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>single week, and you see guys going nuts for each other,

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>how do you not buy in? Like I keep on,

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm having this argument with myself right now, trying to

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 1>convince someone that's not in front of me right now,

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's so obvious to me how you just

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>buy in a belief. So three and three is a

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 1>great spot to be right now after a tough start,

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of work to do, obviously going forward,

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>but just the general makeup of this team. Man, that

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 1>stuff gets me excited. And speaking of that, and speaking

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>of being excited for guys to a ton of bolo

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>comes into the game and completes two passes, and I

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about the reaction of the way these

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>guys handled to a coming off the bench and the

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>crowd going crazy, the sideline going crazy too. Was dancing

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 1>with his teammates prior to coming into the game, put

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the helmet on, ran out there. People lost their minds

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.399
<v Speaker 1>and there was one head cheerleader of the group. And

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 1>who other was it than quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. We're gonna

0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.840
<v Speaker 1>hear from fits on a comment that Brian Flora has

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>made after the game about the relationship of those two.

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.879
<v Speaker 1>The question was, what does it say about those two people,

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.879
<v Speaker 1>both on the football field and off and their personalities

0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.919
<v Speaker 1>that they have that tight knit relationship between Ryan Fitzpatrick

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and to a tongue byloa and Flow kind of laughs

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 1>at the question here at first because he likes the idea.

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.919
<v Speaker 1>He didn't know that Fitzpatrick was cheerleading for to uh,

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>here's flows answer to what that means and what there's

0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 1>guys relationship means for this football team. M I didn't

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 1>know that, but that doesn't surprise me. I mean, the

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 1>two those guys have a great relationship. Um, you know,

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 1>they root for each other and that's those are some

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 1>of the relationships that are building really throughout the team.

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>You'd like to see that and hopefully when you you know,

0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 1>watch but people see that, and um, you know it's

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's nice to hear that. I mean, it's I

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't actually see it, but I know there was some excitement,

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you know once he went in and you know, I

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:15.439
<v Speaker 1>have two of but you know, that's that's I like

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.399
<v Speaker 1>hearing that. So I wanted to ask coach Flow about

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.639
<v Speaker 1>or rather I wanted to ask Ryan Fitzpatrick about Flow's answer.

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 1>There here's fits on the exact answer from coach Flores.

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:28.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I would say we're still we're still a

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 1>work in progress, but we're we're definitely heading in the

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.199
<v Speaker 1>right direction. We've you know, brought in a lot of

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 1>new guys this offseason, and um, you know, I think

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 1>we brought in the right kind of guys and everybody

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 1>has really meshed well. Um, you know, even a couple

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of weeks ago, sitting at one and three, not really

0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 1>feeling sorry for ourselves, but continuing to work and now

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, to get a couple in a row, and

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 1>sitting at three and three going into to buy uh.

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 1>It was a good feeling for us. And I think

0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.680
<v Speaker 1>we're coming together as a team. I think we're coming

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:00.680
<v Speaker 1>together as a team. As the calm month there, Fits

0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.800
<v Speaker 1>leaves us with and on the two tongue Boa two

0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 1>passes again, he converted the only third down of the

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.200
<v Speaker 1>day for the Dolphins offense to Jachim Grant after throwing

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a pass on a naked boot in the back of

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.359
<v Speaker 1>the end zone. Fits also talked about the difficulty of

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that throw and he was kind of rolling along the

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.199
<v Speaker 1>back line there, the back end line of the Dolphins

0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 1>end zone. But on the third down play, that's where

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I was really impressed, was to see this guy just

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 1>kind of step up into the pocket, kind of some

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 1>pressure coming around him to step up and deliver a

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.680
<v Speaker 1>throw there for a big first down conversion. We saw

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 1>that quick twitch and that quick processor and the quick

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.199
<v Speaker 1>trigger at Alabama repeatedly every Saturday the last two or

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.919
<v Speaker 1>three years down there in college football, and also on

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the same takeaway here talking about burying somebody. Dolphins have

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 1>a plus forty seven point point differential right now. That's

0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.399
<v Speaker 1>best in the division. That's ahead of Buffalo right now,

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>who's minus three at four and one. It's also better

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 1>than the four and two Cleveland Browns who have a

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:52.920
<v Speaker 1>negative point differential. It's better than the five and oh

0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Titans who have a thirty eight point differential the culture

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.720
<v Speaker 1>at forty two at four and two point differential. It's

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>better than the Kansas City chief who have a thirty

0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.919
<v Speaker 1>nine point point differential at four and one. So this

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 1>team is playing good football right now, putting up points

0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.959
<v Speaker 1>on the board, stopping the opposing offenses from putting up

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.360
<v Speaker 1>points of their own as well. So let's take away

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 1>number three a long winded one at that. Actually, let's

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:15.520
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and finish the stuff. I wanted to hear

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 1>this comment here or play this comment rather from two

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 1>A ton of Baloa on the moment for getting out

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:21.439
<v Speaker 1>there on the field for his first time in his

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 1>pro career one year after his injured hip. I think

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:28.160
<v Speaker 1>it was a very special moment um for me because

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>my parents weren't here, so I couldn't really remember where

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 1>we ended our drive at so trying to sit close

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.400
<v Speaker 1>to where we ended our drive at and I ended

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 1>up FaceTime with my parents because they couldn't be here. Um,

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 1>So I that's usually how it goes. I usually talked

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>to my parents, um, you know, after the game, and

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 1>my parents usually never missed my game. So that's what

0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I did. I went out there and I talked to them. Um.

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.200
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, that's that's what that moment was about. Pretty

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.440
<v Speaker 1>satisfying when all the way around for the Dolphins and

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the entire roster, everybody getting in on the action. You

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 1>heard Coach Flores talk about having plenty of contributors in

0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.399
<v Speaker 1>this game. The fourth takeaway, We're gonna go to an

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>individual here. It's the Sunday Spotlight if you guys haven't noticed.

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 1>In addition to the recap article up on Miami Dolphins

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.760
<v Speaker 1>dot com, we're also going to have a weekly Spotlight edition.

0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 1>We had Exit rather DeVante Parker in the loss to

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the Seahawks. Last week, we had Ryan Fitzpatrick and the

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.399
<v Speaker 1>win over the San Francisco forty Niners. And this week

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Xavian Howard because he came into this game with a

0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 1>pick every eight point six targets going back to that date.

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 1>We always talked about right December eight point six targets.

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 1>You try this guy, he's gonna get himself an interception.

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.879
<v Speaker 1>It's been so impressive, sixteen in his last twenty eight games,

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.359
<v Speaker 1>despite the fact that he's only had twenty eight games

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 1>out of forty three possible since. And he talked about

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.439
<v Speaker 1>on the interception, how they ran that over route so

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:00.439
<v Speaker 1>many times against him. We saw the old do that

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>against the Dolphins. We saw the Seahawks do that against

0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins. We saw the Niners tried that against the Dolphins.

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 1>And x actually got his hands on a football on

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that play but couldn't quite squeeze it off of his fingertips.

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Almost the exact same look here, and this time he

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:15.639
<v Speaker 1>undercuts it and gets his hands on the ball and

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 1>does squeeze it, pulls on the interception. He would of

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 1>course later get to pick in that San Francisco game

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 1>on what Jerald Alexander called a layup in his media availability,

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 1>But xaviing Howard does get this one, the tougher interception

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:28.879
<v Speaker 1>this time. And now in back to bad games, this

0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:32.480
<v Speaker 1>guy has been targeted eight times, no catches, two interceptions,

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:37.439
<v Speaker 1>two pass breakups, ridiculous ball production. And somebody asked him postgame,

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:39.160
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna write a book about how you get

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to the ball? Ball find me is exactly right, exaviing

0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Howard six team picks in his last twenty eight games

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:49.720
<v Speaker 1>and the fifth takeaway, How can we talk about anything

0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 1>besides this Miami Dolphin defense. I can't wait to see

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the entire the numbers piece tomorrow that I'm gonna write,

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 1>because I can't wait to look at where this team

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.160
<v Speaker 1>ranks on the defensive points per game and yards per

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 1>game passing game. It's gonna be a nice little bump

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:04.960
<v Speaker 1>up the standings and the rankings there for your Miami Dolphins.

0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 1>How about this drive chart that I was going I

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>took it for about the first two and a half quarters,

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:12.359
<v Speaker 1>maybe three quarters of the game. First drive for the

0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Jets three place three yards. Second drive three place five yards.

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Third drive they had some success ten place thirty five yards,

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:20.920
<v Speaker 1>but eventually with punt on that drive as well, obviously

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 1>it didn't score points. Fourth drive three plays negative four yards,

0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Fifth drive three plays four yards and a pick. Sixth

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:31.440
<v Speaker 1>drive three place four yards, seventh drive three place nine yards,

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 1>and the eighth drive after the interception there with about

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty seconds left, and the half they go four place

0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:38.399
<v Speaker 1>for twenty two yards end of half. So in that

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:41.399
<v Speaker 1>first half, thirty two plays ninety three yards over eight

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:44.199
<v Speaker 1>on first downs or on third down, rather than just

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.919
<v Speaker 1>four first downs in the game. How about the second

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 1>half come right out of the locker room, three plays

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 1>negative four yards, four plays sixteen yards, five place thirty

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 1>eight four place nineteen yards, eight plays eight yards. That

0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.200
<v Speaker 1>was the ag Bas sack play negative twenty eight yards

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 1>on that play, and then the next drive was four

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 1>plays for sixteen yards. So I mean we're talking about

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 1>like five first downs amongst among was it fourteen drives

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:10.640
<v Speaker 1>here and four of them came on one series. Christian

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Wilkins a sack, a couple of past breakups, a couple

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:16.480
<v Speaker 1>more tackles. Eric Rowe had ten combined tackles in the game.

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>We talked about Samuel go Van Emmanuel Ogball gets two

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:21.960
<v Speaker 1>more sacks in the game. He now has a sack

0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:24.400
<v Speaker 1>in three consecutive games. He has at least a half

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a sack in five consecutive games, and he now has two,

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 1>three or four five sacks on the season. So og

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Ball really paying dividends at that pass brush position. I

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>thought shack loss was damn good as well. Off the

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 1>other side playing the run play in the past, the

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 1>linebackers got themselves involved, the defensive backs the way Eric

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Rowe and Bobby McCain are communicating on that back end

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:47.639
<v Speaker 1>and kind of passing things off, walling guys off, playing

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>into their leverage, playing into their calls. It's just been

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun to watch this defense the last

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:54.239
<v Speaker 1>few weeks, and they just keep climbing up up up

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 1>those ranking boards. And another zero point performance and less

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 1>than three yards of offense. That's gonna help big time

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins defense absolutely dominant in a shutout victory over the Jets.

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.040
<v Speaker 1>A few individual notes we didn't talk about here. There

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 1>was a play the Preston Williams touchdown. I love that

0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:12.160
<v Speaker 1>play by both Preston and Fits and the call by Chan,

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the design by Chan because Preston one the route is beautiful.

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:18.720
<v Speaker 1>He's got a cornerback one on one coverage, kind of

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:21.159
<v Speaker 1>takes the outside step first and it cuts back across

0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:24.200
<v Speaker 1>his face once that corner drives his hips to the sideline,

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.680
<v Speaker 1>gives him a chance to cross face. Does it perfectly

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 1>and then from there a six ft five frame. Good

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:32.040
<v Speaker 1>luck defense, You're not gonna stop him. I love that

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:35.280
<v Speaker 1>play also because the quick fake handoff to not kind

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 1>of carry out the fake handoff the play action, but

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to fake it, put it out there, show the defense

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:41.959
<v Speaker 1>to the the football, pop up, and then throw it out quickly.

0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:44.200
<v Speaker 1>It allows you to get at the ball out much faster,

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:46.399
<v Speaker 1>and Fitzpatrick just kind of throws to a spot like

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:49.200
<v Speaker 1>he talked about last week and his media availability, throws

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the ball to a spot right where Preston Williams is touchdown.

0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins loved that play. We talked about Miles Gaskin. I

0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 1>put DeVante Parker the notes here a few times, just

0:25:57.560 --> 0:26:00.439
<v Speaker 1>the way he uncovered and and make some contested catches.

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Had a tough catch in traffic where he kind of

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>got knocked to the ground there. So another good day

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>for DeVante Parker. The tight end room, Derham Smith Adam

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Shaheen a pair of touchdowns from those two guys, one each,

0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:13.479
<v Speaker 1>Shaheen and Smith both getting that little under route from

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the previous week that Shaheen ram. Love to see those

0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:18.159
<v Speaker 1>guys contribute in the passing game. Shaheen also had the

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:20.160
<v Speaker 1>big forty three yard catch down the middle of the field.

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:24.200
<v Speaker 1>So good work from those guys. Offensive line. I mean,

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:26.400
<v Speaker 1>these guys have been playing so well all year long,

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:30.960
<v Speaker 1>one through five. Jesse Davis, Eric Flowers, Ted Carriss, Robert Hunt,

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and Solomon Kinley in there, just getting some push in

0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the running game, helping protect the quarterback in the passing game.

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Another good effort here from the Dolphin's offensive line. We'll

0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:40.359
<v Speaker 1>have more for you guys on that on the All

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:43.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty two review. On Tuesday's podcast, on the defensive line,

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 1>we talked about Agba. Didn't get much of a mention

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:48.560
<v Speaker 1>about Zach Seeler, but my goodness, how many times did

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:51.880
<v Speaker 1>he lock out, get those big, strong, long arms locked out,

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and then just work with his athletic ability down the

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:57.560
<v Speaker 1>line on those outside runs and disengage and get there

0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:00.440
<v Speaker 1>for a tackle at the lion of scrimmage. So in pressive,

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 1>so powerful, so athletic and agile. Also the player where

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 1>he retraced a screen and got helped with a Land

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and Roberts on a tackle short of the sticks which

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 1>would force the Jets to punt on fourth and one.

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Just a really good game again from Zach Seiler. The linebackers.

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:17.040
<v Speaker 1>The Land and Roberts put another damn good game. I thought,

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:20.440
<v Speaker 1>flying all over the field, aggressive but in control, big

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.680
<v Speaker 1>time hitter. Definitely lays the wood when he arrives. Loved

0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the work of Sam Ego van As. We talked about

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Jerome Baker got in there for some pressure on the quarterback,

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:31.119
<v Speaker 1>goes a gap blitz pressure looks just coming in hot

0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:34.320
<v Speaker 1>on Joe Flacco and the defensive backfield. We didn't talk

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:37.000
<v Speaker 1>about Byron Jones, but the first two pass attempts of

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the game from Joe Flacco, they tried to go deep

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.159
<v Speaker 1>on Byron Jones, and he just said, go ahead and

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:42.880
<v Speaker 1>try to run pass him, because you're not gonna run

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:44.919
<v Speaker 1>by me. So he gets that jam kind of the

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:47.399
<v Speaker 1>underneath trail technique, and then he runs right under that

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 1>thing and does such a good job to get himself

0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 1>back in position to make a play on the football.

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:53.880
<v Speaker 1>We talked about Eric Row and Bobby McCain. I think

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.200
<v Speaker 1>both of these guys are playing so damn well right now.

0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 1>And then xaviing Howard. You don't even gotta say it.

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:01.360
<v Speaker 1>He's just been awesome so far. Special teams. I thought

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Jachem had his best day returning punts today, so that

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:06.920
<v Speaker 1>was also very good to see. Jason Sanders remains perfect.

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Matt Hawk put another punt inside the ten yard line,

0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:12.280
<v Speaker 1>so everything came up aces in this game for the Dolphins.

0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>A good looking performance three and three heading into the

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.160
<v Speaker 1>bye week, and then we'll see the Rams next week.

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 1>After that, we gat at home here at hard Rock Stadium,

0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:22.119
<v Speaker 1>And with that, let's go ahead and welcome in my

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 1>weekly Sunday Night Recap podcast co host guest John con Jemmy.

0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:28.600
<v Speaker 1>We get to watch the games with each other at

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>hard Rock Stadium, and we got another chance to watch

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 1>a dominant Dolphins performance twenty four nothing. John, How you

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>doing man, I'm doing great. It's too bad we can't

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>cheer where we sit because we had a lot of

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 1>cheering to do tonight, especially how dominant you know the

0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 1>performance was by the team, you know, twenty four nothing. Uh,

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the first time you know that happened in six years.

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:52.600
<v Speaker 1>You get a shut out and they've been outscoring opponents.

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 1>What was at sixties seven and seventeen the last two

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 1>opponents I heard during the broadcast, So a lot of

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:01.040
<v Speaker 1>things have a lot of positives to talk about. When

0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned the Miami Dolphins. I'm a big fan of

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:05.800
<v Speaker 1>our silent fist bump we do in the press box. John,

0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 1>That's a good way to to get the little ws

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:10.480
<v Speaker 1>under our belts. Here's a fact I just learned during

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the podcast. I'll tell you John, the Dolphins have a

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 1>better point differential right now than Kansas City. Isn't that crazy? Yeah?

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:19.240
<v Speaker 1>That is crazy. I would have I would have guessed

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the Kansas City. But um, you know, I mean, the

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins are playing some good football. They're they're five, which

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 1>is positive, all right. They had a chance to beat

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Seattle at home. They hung with Buffalo, who's probably the

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, the class right now the a f c S.

0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>But we're we're kind of getting on their heels a

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 1>little bit and waiting for them to maybe take a

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:41.880
<v Speaker 1>step backwards and and build momentum and get closer to

0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 1>challenging for the crown. Well, we'll go ahead and root

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:47.720
<v Speaker 1>for Kansas City to take over us in the point

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 1>differential category tomorrow so they can beat Buffalo and we

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 1>can get within one game of the a c S League.

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have John con Jemmy on the podcast later

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 1>this week, guys to talk about just kind of a

0:29:56.880 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 1>season recap so far and look ahead. But John, for

0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:01.720
<v Speaker 1>now want to hear your three takeaways, Go ahead and

0:30:01.760 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 1>kick it off with number one. Well, first of all,

0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a dominating defensive performance by the

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins. I thought in every facet, you know, when

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>you looked at the way they played upfront with the

0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 1>defensive line, you know, your minus the god chow, you're

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 1>going in and you're playing you're playing rookies, and you're

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:22.320
<v Speaker 1>playing guys a little bit out of position. But I

0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:26.200
<v Speaker 1>thought every every time you looked, someone stepped up. Emmanuel

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Ogba and his two sacks, Christian Wilkins had multiple passes deflected,

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 1>he had a sack. I thought Zack Seeler played an

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 1>outstanding game in and around the line of scrimmage. I

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 1>thought Landon Roberts was behind the line of scrimmage. I

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 1>thought Brandon Jones came up from the safety spot and

0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:47.920
<v Speaker 1>had some spectacular plays. And you talk about the takeaways

0:30:47.960 --> 0:30:50.880
<v Speaker 1>of Xavian Howard, the way they tried to challenge Byron

0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Jones down the field and he responded. So I just

0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:56.479
<v Speaker 1>thought it wasn't one guy, it was a bunch of guys.

0:30:56.480 --> 0:31:01.280
<v Speaker 1>On defense that built, uh this all against the New

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 1>York Jets that they couldn't convert on third down. I

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>think they were over right in the first half, only

0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 1>two verse seventeen. Throughout the game, they had bits and

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 1>pieces of maybe some chunk plays or some exciting plays

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 1>down the field, but they were, you know, one out

0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:18.280
<v Speaker 1>of every ten or twelve plays. So I thought the

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins defense really controlled the tempo and they had a

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:25.120
<v Speaker 1>dominating performance. Yeah, you talk about those couple of chunk plays.

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that those plays kind of made the box

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 1>score not quite do the performance justice because I mean

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:32.760
<v Speaker 1>there was a point in a game where the Jets

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:34.640
<v Speaker 1>had under three yards per play. I mean, it was

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 1>just swarming, dominating. And I'm really glad you mentioned Brandon

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Jones because he came in late and made a bunch

0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:41.600
<v Speaker 1>of big plays. Damn near got himself a pick six

0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 1>there at the end. To John, how about takeaway number

0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:46.560
<v Speaker 1>two for you? I thought it was a balanced attack

0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:49.719
<v Speaker 1>on offense, and I think it was aided by the

0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:53.520
<v Speaker 1>field position that the Miami Dolphins had throughout the game.

0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was close to about a twenty or

0:31:56.440 --> 0:32:01.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty five yard discrepancy in average start fuel position between

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the Jets and the Dolphins, and Miami held that advantage,

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and I think that allowed them to kind of play

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 1>uh mixing in the run and the pass and the

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 1>play action. They got their tight ends involved. I thought

0:32:13.680 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the checkdowns were really timely, where you get the ball

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 1>in hands of running backs that could do a little

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:23.000
<v Speaker 1>something with it. I thought Miles Gascon had an outstanding performance,

0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:25.000
<v Speaker 1>not only running it close to a hundred yards we

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 1>had over five yards per carry, but he caught the

0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:30.120
<v Speaker 1>football with efficiency and made people miss when he was

0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 1>in the open field. So I thought the way fits

0:32:33.760 --> 0:32:36.000
<v Speaker 1>fits played at the quarterback spot. I thought it was

0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 1>a balanced attack with the run and passed. He'd love

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to have the pick back by the end zone. I don't.

0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't care about the long shot he took down

0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 1>the field and the crazy circus interception down the field

0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 1>that happened later in the game. But the one, the

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 1>one that he wanted back, was down by the ends

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and he tried to squeeze one in too. I believe

0:32:56.280 --> 0:32:59.640
<v Speaker 1>it was Mike Casicki on a crossing route and during

0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:01.440
<v Speaker 1>that or of the game, you know, the Dolphins get

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the ball on the plus forty six, they get the

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 1>ball on the plus thirty four. Again, they get it

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:07.960
<v Speaker 1>on the plus forty eight, and you come out with

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 1>seven points on the touchdown to to Derm Smithe. But

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you had a chance to really knock out the Jets

0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 1>before halftime, and I thought they bounced back from that

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty well. But overall, my my overall takeaway was the

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 1>balance that they showed with play action, with running the football.

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I love the new little draw counter that they put

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:31.360
<v Speaker 1>in behind Solomon Kinley and moving moving that running lane

0:33:31.400 --> 0:33:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit to give the guys some room. But

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 1>all all in all, I thought it was a great

0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:40.120
<v Speaker 1>balanced attack. Yeah, those uh, those failed attempts to cash

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:42.480
<v Speaker 1>in down there, that just gives coach a coaching point

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:43.840
<v Speaker 1>for the next two weeks. Right now he can kind

0:33:43.840 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 1>of draw the guys and get on them. So that's

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 1>all they need and fits Fitz talked about that pick

0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 1>after the game a little bit. He knows, he knows

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that was a mistake on his partner. A part of

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the field and part of the game where you can

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>probably cash in some points there and get, you know,

0:33:56.080 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 1>get a three score lead on the board. They're going

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.640
<v Speaker 1>into the second into the third core or second half

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:03.320
<v Speaker 1>easy for me to say, but he talked about it.

0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know, that's kind of one of the things

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:06.360
<v Speaker 1>with Fitzpatrick where maybe you just kind of have to

0:34:06.400 --> 0:34:08.799
<v Speaker 1>live and die with that because he trust his eyes

0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:10.960
<v Speaker 1>so much and it makes so many big places for you,

0:34:11.000 --> 0:34:12.799
<v Speaker 1>but like you mentioned, kind of gets caught with his

0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:15.760
<v Speaker 1>hand in the cookie jar on this particular plate. Takeaway

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:18.919
<v Speaker 1>number three from you, John, You know, I thought that

0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:23.040
<v Speaker 1>all three phases really contributed, and I'm really starting to

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:27.319
<v Speaker 1>like the way this this team piggybacks off of, you know,

0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:30.160
<v Speaker 1>a solid defensive performance, the offense picks it up. The

0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:32.880
<v Speaker 1>special teams you're there, So I thought this was a

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:36.640
<v Speaker 1>complete team win, and you count in the special teams.

0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Let me start with those guys. I thought that Joachim

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Grant really did an excellent job of making the first

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:47.680
<v Speaker 1>defender miss. Coming down those gunners and and the long snapper.

0:34:47.960 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 1>He was able to make people miss and really, excuse me,

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 1>add to the field position that I talked about when

0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins really took advantage. So I thought that was

0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a spark that that needed to catch up a little bit.

0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I love the way that obviously, you know, the kicking

0:35:04.800 --> 0:35:07.319
<v Speaker 1>games going with Matt Hawk and the punting and the

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you can't do much better than fifteen

0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:14.359
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen. Uh, you know, it's like shooting threes out

0:35:14.360 --> 0:35:17.960
<v Speaker 1>there for for Jason Sanders, And it's really a good

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 1>thing to see that. You know, there's complementary football happening

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:24.799
<v Speaker 1>between offense and defense and special teams. So I thought

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:28.239
<v Speaker 1>that compliment was was one of my takeaways today, the

0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:31.439
<v Speaker 1>way that the defense kind of set the tone gave

0:35:31.520 --> 0:35:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the field position to the offense. About the offense cashed

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:37.800
<v Speaker 1>in when they had chances and probably could have stepped

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit more, but then the special teams

0:35:40.640 --> 0:35:43.600
<v Speaker 1>kept that field tilted, and then Jachine Grant was able

0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:47.120
<v Speaker 1>to add his spark on special teams to continue that

0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:50.919
<v Speaker 1>really pristine field position that the Dolphins enjoyed all night long.

0:35:51.239 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be nice for a coach to have a

0:35:53.120 --> 0:35:55.279
<v Speaker 1>placekicker that he can pretty much trust is going to

0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 1>get three points every time he trots him out there.

0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's such an advantage of having your

0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 1>back pocket. And you talked about the way they kind

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:04.000
<v Speaker 1>of manage the game. I thought the way Flores called

0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 1>this game, and I talked about an earlier takeaway before

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I had you on John, the way he went down

0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and called that time out after the Dolphins got a

0:36:10.040 --> 0:36:12.200
<v Speaker 1>third down stop towards the end of the half. They're

0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 1>just the way they manage this game. And then with

0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:18.040
<v Speaker 1>um there was a a long field goal attempt that

0:36:18.080 --> 0:36:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Jason Sanders could have taken, but they punted it away

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 1>because the defense was playing so good. Don't give the

0:36:22.320 --> 0:36:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Jets a short field. So just like you say, a

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:27.640
<v Speaker 1>total team win all phases, coaching staff, good stuff in

0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:31.399
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins to zero a shutout win. John, appreciate your time.

0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:33.879
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk to you later this week, sir, sounds good.

0:36:33.920 --> 0:36:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for Travis, And there he goes John kN Jemmy

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:39.399
<v Speaker 1>love getting his take here on the podcast. That little

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:41.759
<v Speaker 1>nugget there about the counter draw. That's what John gives

0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you a good eye for the game. Love watching football

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:45.960
<v Speaker 1>next to that guy, like I talked about every week

0:36:45.960 --> 0:36:48.799
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast. He makes me a smarter football fan

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:51.799
