<v Speaker 1>I'll go down the Colts offense and defense, talk about

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>matchups to expose, matchups to be concerned about, and how

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.599
<v Speaker 1>Miami can get a dub or how it might go

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>in the wrong direction. The most comprehensive preview show you

<v Speaker 1>Draft Time Podcast. Lucas Oil Stadium for a one o'clock kickoff.

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Our next three games are at one o'clock. Five of

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the next six are at one o'clock. What a beautiful

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>day that is for us that work the games and

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>several hours after the games, it's gonna be in a dome,

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>so no weather to talk about there. Let's go ahead

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and meet the Colts, who we have not seen since

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one. We have not seen that building since

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen. Quick show of hands, who remembers the Colts.

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Being in the AFC East.

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've been having this sort of existential crisis lately,

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>as I'm sure many of us do, as we approach

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the age of forty. My brother just turned forty. Happy

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>birtha the old man. Huh'm forty, and the kids just

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 1>seem to get like a year older every month. It

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>seems like my little girl was just a baby the

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>other day and now she's, you know, kind of sassy

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>and talking back here and there. So there's that to

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>live with. But here's an example. I was thinking about

0:01:55.600 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>how content creators nowadays, like, Okay, So I fell asleep

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>after the Bills kicked that field goal to go up

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty three to twenty the other night, Travis, wat's another

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>sign that you are watched. You fall asleep watching football

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>games now And so I came into work on Tuesday

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>and wanted to see how the game ended because I

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>knew the result, but I didn't know how we got there.

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>So I pulled up game pass, had the all twenty

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>two the condensed file and the original broadcast copy were

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>all one click away, and it reminded me how I

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>used to rewatch games a long time ago. I'll never

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>forget this. After my senior year of high school, which

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>was five oh six, I was going into junior college

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>and still living at home that upcoming fall semester in

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.239
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and six. And I'm not even sure why

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>it happened, but two thousand and five was when I

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>went from what I would consider to be a casual

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins fan to completely obsessed. It was actually when I

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>joined message boards and filled up a lot of my

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>free time. While people were playing Halo or maybe even

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>working part time jobs, I was on message boards talking

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>about the Dolphins and football, and two of my favorite

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>games from that season were the opener against the Broncos,

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the one that I asked Mike mc daniel about in

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:02.679
<v Speaker 1>my first meeting with him back when he got hired

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty two, because that was his first NFL

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.079
<v Speaker 1>game as a ballboy or rather an assistant i should say,

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 1>for the Broncos, and the Week three win over the Panthers.

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Both of those teams would go on to play in

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the Championship games that year, and Miami be both of

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>them in the first three games of the season. So

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 1>I found this website that sold old Dolphins games and

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>they were on VHS at the time. I don't think

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>it was associated with the league in anyway, So I

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know how the guy was doing that legally because

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>without the express britten concent of the National Football League.

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 1>But man, when I tell you that I went to

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the mailbox every single day for two weeks waiting for

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>those VHS tapes to arrive, that's my old man way

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>of saying.

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>You're young, and you have no idea how good you

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 2>have it.

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I ran those VHS tapes so frequently that the tape

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>literally wore out that Broncos game that I have it

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>like skips when I try to put it back in

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the VCR at least last I checked in like twenty fourteen,

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>whenever that was all right, tangent aside. That was just

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>four years after the Colts moved from the East to

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the AC southal when they realigned the league from six

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>divisions up to eight, And man, I held the Colts

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>in the same regard as the Bills, Jets and Patriots

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>for such a long time. It has since lessened for me,

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I think probably because of the most recent run of

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>difficult years for them. You heard JJ Stankowitz on the

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 1>show yesterday What a Name, by the way, mentioned this

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 1>veteran quarterback hamster Will they've been on for the last

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>half decade. Now, when you're changing quarterbacks every single year,

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you're probably not winning a lot of football games.

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Last year they were a dropped swing pass away from

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>having a first and goal on a drive that had

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it finished in the paint, they would have made the playoffs.

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Not the Houston Texans, the darling of last year, who

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>have since gone on to improve their roster and make

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>themselves the team that everyone thought they could be. But

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>they were really close to losing out in the playoffs

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>all together last year because the Colts dropped the wide

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>up and pass in the flat. And that was with

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 1>Gardner Minshew go Koog's playing in fifteen of the seventeen

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>games and starting thirteen of them. And I was a

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>big Gardner Minshew coming out. He hasn't quite lived up

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to those expectations, but he is an NFL quarterback that

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>probably is that fringe spot starter slash quality backup. The

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>last time they did make the playoffs. Well, it was

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>actually the first or wait yeah, the first year that

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>they were able to go get a veteran quarterback after

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Luck's shocking retirement, which, by the way, if you're

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>into scripted podcasts, it's called Luck. It was an athletic production.

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the best podcasts I've heard about the

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 1>career and life of Andrew Luck and how injuries and

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Colt's decision making over years led to the most shocking

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:40.119
<v Speaker 1>retirement our league has seen since Ricky Williams, maybe even

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 1>Barry Sanders. But Phil Rivers was the quarterback that was

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>there in twenty twenty for their last good season, and

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>he damn near guided them in the first year of

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>seven playoff teams with a seven seed to beat a

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>two seed when they lost to Buffalo by three in

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>the wild card round after the pandemic season, after they

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>went eleven to five. Since then, it's been Carson Wentz

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>eight that was kind of a miracle with him there,

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and then Matt Ryan four and twelve and one an

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>absolute disaster. Then Anthony Richardson with Gardner Minshew going nine

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>to eight last year, the first under Shane Steiken, who

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>has really earned his stripes as one of the top

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>offensive innovators in all of football. They're a team largely

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>built through the draft. They have studs like Quentin Nelson,

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Kelly, Braden Smith, Bernard Raymond, all draft picks up front.

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:25.279
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, I keep seeing this on Twitter,

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the Colts are not going to trade Quentin Nelson, So

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>shut up, like they're not going to trade that guy.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>They're in a playoff spot right now. Jonathan Taylor was

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.159
<v Speaker 1>a second round draft pick there. He's their their bell

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>cow back. Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, and of course Anthony

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Richardson on defense, Kenny Moore, Grover Stewart, Juju Brentz, Julian Blackman.

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>All those guys were draft picks on that defense. They

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>have not been huge free agency buyers, but arguably their

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>best player, and I would say he is their best player,

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>was acquired via trade and DeForest Buckner, but he's been

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 1>on the injury reserve since their first game and his

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>eligible return this week. We'll find out more on him

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>going as we go along throughout the course of this week.

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>They're kind of difficult to peg. As far as the team.

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say they're star laden, but they have a

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.679
<v Speaker 1>nice collection of talent, but also plenty of unproven parts

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that makes their future a little bit of a mystery,

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>as is the case with every team, but just in

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>terms of known quantities, they don't have a lot of them.

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and get to the Colts offense here

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in their scheme. I mentioned Steichen as one of the

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 1>top innovators in the game. I think the thing that

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>he does so well and creates easy throws for his

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>quarterback while keeping things relatively simple where they get to

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the same core concepts, but they do it from different alignments, groupings,

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and presentations. And quite frankly, that's how Travis Winfield operated

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>his online Madden teams. I ran with the same four

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>plays and would just call hot routes and adjustments and

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>shift the formations at the lion of scrimmage.

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I was basically the modern day Peyton manning of Madden.

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>One thing I will harp on with the switch back

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to Richard sim is the Colts red zone offense changes

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>drastically with him in the game, as is the case

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>with most teams that a quarterback is you know who

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>is just as dangerous with his legs he is his

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>arms maybe even more dangerous, and in this case, with

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>how he's developed so far, I would say that is

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the case. For instance, they are twelve of twenty one

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 1>scoring touchdowns in the red zone. Not bad, not great.

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>They're five of eleven under Flacco, but seven for ten

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>with Richardson. They just find a way to push the

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>ball over the goal line when they get down there.

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>With Richardson in the game, and you can see how

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Ar and JT pair together so well with what Stykean

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>wants to do, especially in that part of the field,

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and that's played tight condensed formations across multiple formations. They

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>bring in so many tight ends and receivers in nasty

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>splits to add gaps in the running game. They create

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>space to the perimeter and the vertical game.

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:39.359
<v Speaker 2>It's a weird.

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Comparison to make because he was there during the run

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned off the top, but it kind of reminds

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 1>me of Frank Reich, you know, coach the Colts the

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 1>last time he was a coach in this league, where

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>they would get to three and four vert concepts from

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>twelve to thirteen personnel and get multiple tight ends running

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.439
<v Speaker 1>vertical routes from these you know, bunches and condensed formations,

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.080
<v Speaker 1>And again, I think Jonathan Taylor is a massive, massive

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 1>part of that, so his availability for this game to

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>me will be a very big deal. When I watch

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the Colts on tape, it reminds me of our offense

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>in the sense that the structure and design does a

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>really good job of showing multiple looks and keys for

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>defenders to present that proverbial cheese and then hope to

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.959
<v Speaker 1>exploit the space created by the false steps and misreads

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 1>of those players. They go this way seventy five percent

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.199
<v Speaker 1>eleven personnel. That's one back, one tight end, three receivers.

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>The rest of it is basically twelve personnel. Twenty one

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>percent of the time they have one back, two tight ends,

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 1>and two receivers. The remainder of that is thirteen personnel.

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Four percent of the time they don't have a full back.

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>They never run two back sets, literally zero snaps in that.

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 1>And they also have run just a single play without

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>a tight end of four receiver sets. So you're only

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>going to get eleven personnel and twelve personnel and the

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.959
<v Speaker 1>occasional thirteen personnel look from this offense.

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 2>So it's all the same. How do you attack it?

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think it's tough because as I watched on

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.319
<v Speaker 1>a coach clinic to study to get ready for this game,

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the general thing I learned is that it's a simplified

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.559
<v Speaker 1>offense in the sense that they run a lot of

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 1>the same plays from different pre snap presentations. And what

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I saw further into that research was a Colt McCoy

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>video on his Underdog film study show that he does.

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.199
<v Speaker 1>He said that Steichen has a great feel for what

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>coverages he believes he will get for those calls based

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.439
<v Speaker 1>upon the percentages, so he has a good in game,

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>game day feel for play calling. That's why I think

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the best way to attack it, well, it's always this way.

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.560
<v Speaker 1>You just have to be multiple. And I think the

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>best thing for the Dolphins, and the best thing they've

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>done as a team this year is on defense with

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>their ability to be multiple and how they marry their

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 1>coverages in their fronts and present it in different ways.

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>And I think this defense, you know, sands a couple

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>of big runs here and there has been dynamite and

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I think if the Colts fail to hit the big run,

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I think will be in great shape from a defensive standpoint,

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and that takes us into the first Big three or

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the first of the Big three against the Colts offense

0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>here and I just simply wrote down blitz and that's

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.079
<v Speaker 1>probably the most generic, basic take you'll get here on

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>the Drift Time podcast of all time. But I think

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.080
<v Speaker 1>when you consider the matchup of the Dolphins rushers versus

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 1>a very good Colts line, I don't like the way

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that plays out for Miami and a quarterback that has

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>struggled to play from the pocket so far in his

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>whole career. I think the best thing you can do

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>is to mix up your looks enough to play contain

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 1>rush for don't try to go get him, let him

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 1>come to you, and then send the extra rusher that

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 1>speeds up his processor to then either a get home

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and make the sack. That would be great, because if

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>he escapes, that changes everything. But blitz him up the middle,

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>rush contain outside, keep him in the pocket, make him

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>play from there. You basically want to mirror and react

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 1>to him. Don't try to go get him or b

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>it forces the ball out of his hand without a

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 1>clean base or an altered arm angle, and that's when

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the ball can get away from him. He has a

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>very hirky, jerky motion that the ball just doesn't always

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>go in the same position. I think people bag on

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Richardson for the inaccurate throws that make all these reels

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>on social media. I think there's actually a lot of

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.839
<v Speaker 1>examples on tape of him getting through the progression and

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>making anticipatory throws. But Travis, the numbers are the numbers.

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Why they so bad?

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I think he just is flat out missing sometimes, and

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that's been the way to get him to

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>do so. I do not think he's got the best

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>finesse type of arm. Again, like it's the motion is

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.560
<v Speaker 1>not consistent. It reminds me I had someone at a

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:27.200
<v Speaker 1>golf course last summer like fix my chipping, and it

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>wasn't bad. I just was inconsistent where he was like,

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>you're too short on your back swing, even on those

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 1>short chips. If you make it a little bit longer

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and make the backswing as much as the fall through,

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 1>you won't have to like jerk it back down bunk.

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>But if you just make it more smooth that way,

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>you'll have the same ball strike and you'll finish better,

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and you'll get better contact and have a better stroke.

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>On your chipping games. Same thing when it comes to

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 1>layering of football, Like if you're quick at the top

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>of your release and then it's up, you know you

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>have to speed up through the top of the process.

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>The ball's gonna wane on you and go in different directions.

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 1>So teams have blitzed Richardson just twelve times on his

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 1>eighty seven dropbacks. It's fourteen percent. But he's completed one

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 1>pass for two yards and thrown two picks on the

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.079
<v Speaker 1>ten throws. In those twelve drop backs, he got sacked

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.199
<v Speaker 1>twice or scrambled twice, I should say. And PFF has

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>him with a third turnover with a sorry, a fourth

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.079
<v Speaker 1>turnover worthy play in that grouping, which gives him a

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty five percent turnover worthy play rate. And while he

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>has four picks when not blitzed, that's four turnover worthy

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>plays out of seventy five dropbacks, just five percent. So

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>his turnover worthy play rate increases times five when you

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>blitz him. Go force the issue, especially when your offense

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>is playing like Miami's offense. He does have two scrambles

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>in at three point three to three time to throw

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.959
<v Speaker 1>in those dropbacks takes them forever to see things and

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 1>play it out. And one of those scrambles went for

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>a first down, the other was for no gain. And

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.520
<v Speaker 1>he has not yet been sacked when he's when he's

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>been blitzed. So that's why I do think you blitz him.

0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 1>It creates it creates errors. And now all that said,

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you don't usually blitz to sack him again zero sacks,

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 1>but the four sacks he has taken are when he's

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>not being blitzed, and that's when you get good coverage

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>and the feet stop, and that's when you can get

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.679
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of wonky throws. But I will caution beating

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 1>this Colts offensive line with just four is going to

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>be a tall task for posterity. Flacco had been blitzed

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty percent of his drop backs and he's completely just

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 1>fifty three percent of those with a four point three YPA.

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.880
<v Speaker 1>But two touchdowns and no picks. Not great, but that's

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.160
<v Speaker 1>way better than Richardson. And I put this in here

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 1>because you're likely going to see a backup rookie center

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>in Tanner Borderlini and with a quarterback that has limited

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>reps as a pro and collegiate, So focusing that protection

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 1>scheme or trying to get after it can really generate

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>some splash plays for your defense, which I think is

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 1>exactly what you need to win this game without to

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a tongue by Low once again. So starting right guard,

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>will Freeze is on the injury reserve. Ryan Kelly the

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>center might play. I tend to think that he won't.

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Braden Smith and Bernard Raymond are maybe the best tackle

0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>tannem and football right now off the edge, and then

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Quenton Nelson could be the best left guard in football.

0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 1>So with those tackles and absent JP and Chubb and

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Cam Good and Shaq Bartt and YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA, Galli,

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 1>that's why I think you have to play rush contame.

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 1>You're not gonna get a lot of one on one

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>wins with you know, Ogbah and Chop and whoever else

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>is out there. Don't and Tyas Bowser, don't let fifteen

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 1>get outside of you and go after Tanner, Bordolini and

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Dalton Tucker the backup guard and for Freeze and really

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 1>force the issue on Richardson from the pocket. Let's go

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>ahead and take our first break right there, come back

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and do big keys two and three for the Colts offense.

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 2>We'll also do the Colts defense after that as well.

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>All that next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>brought to you by Automation Dolphin's defensive Keys to beat

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the Colts on Sunday in Indianapolis is going to be

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>heavily focused on Anthony Richardson and point number one is

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to blitz him. Point number two is to keep him

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>in the pocket. To kind of carry this over here

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and continue the theme here, I do think you can

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 1>find your pressure inside because of those backups I mentioned,

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 1>but also because of the skills of ninety two, ninety three, eleven,

0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and twenty That of course is Seiler, Campbell, Long and

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Brooks in the middle, and that's where I see your

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 1>impact type of players or plays to shut down this offense.

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>We know we love to flood those a gaps off

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the success of both Seiler and Campbell inside, and I

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 1>sort of love the idea of sending a backer with

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>regularity like I would consistently whether it's Chopp looping inside

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>or Jordan Brooks or David Long, I just continuously put

0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>pressure on the interior and force him to just move

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>side to side and wiggle because I want him to

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 1>feel like he has to escape, but also stay within

0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the pocket, if that makes sense, Like force him off

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the spot within the pocket. And you can do that

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 1>by winning your interior matchups and forcing the issue by

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 1>bringing more rushers inside. And I continue to harp on this,

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.800
<v Speaker 1>do just play rush contain off the perimeter the entire game,

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>and don't let him have escape lanes. I think if

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 1>you just let him throw from the pocket, you can

0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 1>capitalize on the opportunities that have been provided by him.

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>He's played eleven career games, has eleven turnover worthy throws

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and six fumbles, so he puts the ball in harm's

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 1>way one and a half times per game in his career.

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 2>You got to capitalize on those.

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 1>And that doesn't count the fact that he's missed like

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the majority of three full games. So I would say

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.119
<v Speaker 1>it's more like eight career games with you know, seventeen

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.720
<v Speaker 1>turnover type of like, it's almost it's more like two

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.359
<v Speaker 1>per game. Really, you gotta capitalize on those. And if

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 1>you look at his passing splits, it's it's pretty jarring.

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.240
<v Speaker 1>He's five of fourteen on passes twenty or more yards

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 1>down the field. He's nine for twenty in the intermediate game,

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and of those fourteen completions, nine of those came when

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.920
<v Speaker 1>he was outside the pocket, and per nfl jesus Gsis,

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that's five completions beyond ten yards from inside the pocket

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.199
<v Speaker 1>and five of fourteen of those nine misses, six of

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>those passes were deemed off target. So he is scattershot

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 1>when you get him kind of you know, in the pocket,

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:47.840
<v Speaker 1>but also like on the move. That makes sense again,

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I think you get the point here, hemmiman. Make him

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 1>play from with instructure and hope that his inconsistencies continue

0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.400
<v Speaker 1>and you capitalize with the takeaways, and you can accomplish

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>that in one other way, which is our third big key,

0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.480
<v Speaker 1>force him to get his information after the snap. I

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>don't want to make the entire section about Richard sim

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>but I kind of feel like this game hinges on

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 1>how he performs, and the Dolphins have some control over that.

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Right now, Quarterbacks can get hot and they can play

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.119
<v Speaker 1>the level where you have to tip your cap and

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 1>say you beat us today, sir, thank you very much.

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 1>May have another or maybe it's an ordinary Richardson day

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.719
<v Speaker 1>where he doesn't play that well and you force him

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 1>into two more mistakes than he usually does, and you

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.199
<v Speaker 1>capitalize on those and you get a big takeaway and

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.640
<v Speaker 1>a big shutdown of this Colts offense, and you get

0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 1>a big win. This is actually more of a compliment

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 1>than it sounds like. But I think he's like on

0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 1>his way to being a good processor. He's clearly not

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 1>there yet. And again, I feel like a lot of

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>his anticipatory throws come when he's broken contained outside the pocket.

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.119
<v Speaker 1>But I keep looking at these splits when he's blitzed

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and when he's not, and when he's pressured when he's not,

0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 1>or when it's covered up against a four man rush.

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 2>You have to make him think. You have to get

0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:52.919
<v Speaker 2>him out of rhythm.

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.199
<v Speaker 1>You have to. You know, we know this Dolphins defense,

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.920
<v Speaker 1>especially with Ramsey and full what they're doing right now

0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:00.119
<v Speaker 1>playing at a super high level, and Cater having what

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought was his best games in this rookie year,

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 1>playing a lot of perimeter snaps and forcing guys into

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the boundary of the field. I think you can muddy

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 1>that early picture and then cap things with your safeties,

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.040
<v Speaker 1>whether it's Javon or Elijah or Jordan or whoever the

0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 1>hell plays in this game. To force throws into traffic

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 1>because he will anticipate and play with confidence and anticipation,

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:20.879
<v Speaker 1>and there's been a lot of bad picks as a

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 1>result of that this year, Like when he's expecting, you know,

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 1>one thing, cuts it loose, he gets something else and

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.680
<v Speaker 1>it turns into a room service pick.

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 2>We need that. That has to happen with the Dolphins

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 2>in this game.

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Ramsey and Fuller and what they've been able

0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to do in terms of mixing their pre snap alignments

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 1>often varying coverage, I think that can really get Richardson

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.400
<v Speaker 1>into some of those mistakes. And while I do think

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:45.560
<v Speaker 1>that Pittman and Downs are a nice combo, it's entirely

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>different style of players there. I think Ramsey is suited

0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:50.919
<v Speaker 1>to handle either of them because he's an elite player.

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.119
<v Speaker 1>I think Fuller I like him a little more on

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Downs because Pittman has a big size advantage on him,

0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>but I think we match up well there. And the

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 1>way Ramsey has really brilliantly disc guys a lot of

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.359
<v Speaker 1>his looks and wound up wiping out entire sides of

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the concept. If he can do that, I think you'll

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.159
<v Speaker 1>force some turnovers and ultimately win this football game. I

0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.359
<v Speaker 1>didn't really get into Jonathan Taylor too much because we'll

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.000
<v Speaker 1>see if he goes, but man, he changes the entire

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:15.360
<v Speaker 1>dynamic of that offense. In fact, they ran the ball

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.120
<v Speaker 1>forty five percent of the time when he's in there,

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.199
<v Speaker 1>and when he's not available just one third of the

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.120
<v Speaker 1>time they run the ball, and the results are quite

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the juxtaposition. They are five and eight over the last

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.399
<v Speaker 1>two plus seasons. When JT does not playing games, they

0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.360
<v Speaker 1>might be the team with the biggest targets in the league,

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:32.160
<v Speaker 1>which also tracks for the red zone prowess and proclivity

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.160
<v Speaker 1>to run the football with added gaps in the way

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.040
<v Speaker 1>they block on the perimeter. In the running game out there,

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.919
<v Speaker 1>Moley Cox and Andrew Ogletree tight ends one to two

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.479
<v Speaker 1>are massive. They both are like six foot five. Pittman

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.200
<v Speaker 1>is six foot four, Alex Pierce is six foot three,

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>so get ready eighty Mitchell six foot four, so get

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 1>ready for back shoulders can tested balls as well as

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 1>a concerted effort the run blocking game off the perimeter.

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I just think Miami's gonna have a lot of chance

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>to get picks in this game and they have to

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 1>make them. Let's go ahead and do a quick pivot

0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.239
<v Speaker 1>here to the Colts defense. We'll take a break here

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 1>in just a second, but talk about the scheme here.

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:04.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's Gus Bradley, and we know what that means.

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I've done several game previews that featured going up against

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Gus Bradley on this podcast. So for those of you

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.879
<v Speaker 1>that are right or Die, you've heard this before. He

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and Pete Carroll ushered in the era of Cover three

0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 1>in Seattle with the Legion of Boom. But that's a

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:20.920
<v Speaker 1>lot easier when you have Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 1>and Cam Chancellor back there. He played it in Jacksonville

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>with our very own Jaalen Ramsey. He took it with

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.359
<v Speaker 1>him to Vegas, and now it's here with the Colts

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 1>each of the last three years, and this Colts defense

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>has not finished inside the top twenty five and scoring

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:35.560
<v Speaker 1>defense with Gusta Fer Bradley. Nobody runs more Cover three

0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 1>than the Colts at fifty eight percent. The natural changeup

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 1>off of that, of course, is Cover one.

0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Just real quick.

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Cover three is three high shell. You have a single

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 1>middlefield safety and then two perimeter usually cornerbacks that play

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:49.919
<v Speaker 1>those roles with a second safety kind of coming down

0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.959
<v Speaker 1>as a buzzer or a crosser beater. The natural changeup

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>off that cover one that just means a single high

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 1>safety and man coverage off the perimeter. Of course, that

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 1>is that's uniform, not always the case. They will use quarters,

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.359
<v Speaker 1>which is cover four more than your typical cover one

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 1>cover three teams. In fact, of the three teams that

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 1>run more Cover three or that run Cover three more

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>than half the time, they're one of them. They lead

0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.439
<v Speaker 1>that group with eleven percent quarters coverage. They do not

0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 1>play zero. They literally don't play Only two teams have

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:22.200
<v Speaker 1>run less zero than they do. They typically play off

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:25.040
<v Speaker 1>soft and they like to play from light boxes. I

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 1>imagine you will get a lot of buzzers to deal

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.600
<v Speaker 1>with the immediate cross or intermediate crossers we run and

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:32.640
<v Speaker 1>all the deep overs we run. Interestingly enough, their EPA

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 1>per play from cover three ranks twenty first, so their

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 1>main coverage gets beat a lot. But they also have

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the best Cover one defense in football. Something to think

0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 1>about there with how they attack. And they also got

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Moore back last week, but Juju Brentz is still down.

0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Sammy Womack has played really well, so there's some options there.

0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't like any of those matchups with the Colt

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:52.879
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to Waddle and Tyreek.

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 2>How to attack this thing.

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 1>When I think about how to attack the scheme, well,

0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:00.159
<v Speaker 1>teams have ran the ball down their throats. They ran

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:02.960
<v Speaker 1>twentieth and success rate against the run nineteenth and yards

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 1>per rush and on balance and volume nine hundred and

0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:08.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty one yards on the grounds, the most in the

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:10.320
<v Speaker 1>NFL given up by anybody this year. And a big

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:13.560
<v Speaker 1>reason for that well, structurally they invite it. They play

0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:15.920
<v Speaker 1>off the perimeter, they play those light boxes. But they're

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:17.399
<v Speaker 1>also down a lot of key parts. I think the

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 1>biggest injury question this week for this game is DeForest Buckner.

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 1>McDaniel joked about facing him in practice for so long

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 1>in San Francisco. They have really, really, really missed him

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 1>in India this year. They just haven't had the size

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 1>and strength and ability to hold blocks inside without him.

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:35.439
<v Speaker 1>Grover Stewart is a great player. I love watching him play,

0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:38.199
<v Speaker 1>but he needs his running mate back. And then beyond that,

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you guys heard JJ on the Wednesday show. Taekwon Lewis

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:42.920
<v Speaker 1>is a guy that we talked about as a free

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:45.480
<v Speaker 1>agent possibly coming here. A guy that I liked on tape,

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and he's a guy that they said, feels like you

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:49.879
<v Speaker 1>lost somebody at every position because he can play the

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>one technique all the way out to the nine technique.

0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 1>They don't have their top guy, their top edge guy

0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:57.400
<v Speaker 1>speaking of nine techniques in Samson Ebukom. They're still working

0:23:57.480 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Quitty payback into the fold. He returned on Sunday after

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.119
<v Speaker 1>two games. That's also been impacting their pass rush. It's

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 1>been a bottom five and pressure rate. Haven't had a

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 1>sack in two games, and that lack of pressure makes

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 1>it tough on that coverage to hold up, especially against

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback. That can create the best part for Miami.

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.640
<v Speaker 1>If they're in those cover three looks or Cover one

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.560
<v Speaker 1>off and the rush cannot get in, Tyler can either

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 1>take the man coverage and beat it that way, or

0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:23.679
<v Speaker 1>he can, you know, find a way to get on

0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the perimeter against a zone look that has peeled off

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:28.800
<v Speaker 1>and they're you know, fifteen yards down the field. Let's

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:30.360
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and do the first of my Big three.

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:32.200
<v Speaker 1>We'll take a break after that. The Big three versus

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the Indianapolis defense is to do exactly that attack the perimeter.

0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Just structurally, every defense has a spot that they're willing to,

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:42.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of give up, right.

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:43.520
<v Speaker 2>It's the vulnerability.

0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:45.720
<v Speaker 1>You cannot cover every blade of grass in this game,

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 1>and in the scheme, they're willing to give up a

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:49.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit in the short flats, which you can get

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.200
<v Speaker 1>to via the screen game, the quick game, the run game.

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 1>You can run them off and run hitches and comebacks

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 1>down the field if you want to push the ball

0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:57.919
<v Speaker 1>a little more. And when I look at this Colts defense,

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.119
<v Speaker 1>I look at a banged up front playing in one

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 1>of two linebackers whose entire game is speed, so much

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 1>so that one of their damn names is Speed, same

0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:05.880
<v Speaker 1>as EJ.

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Speed, literally's two hundred pounds. His name is EJ. Speed.

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Their primary backer is EJ. Speed, two hundred pounds. And

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you can influence his game a lot with a heavy

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:16.959
<v Speaker 1>dose of alec Ingold and Julian Hill coming on those

0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 1>rap blocks. It's the cults of old Man, remember Gary Brackett.

0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 1>If you run the ball down their throat, they're gonna

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:25.159
<v Speaker 1>give up some yards that way. And the reason I

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 1>think it's important to stretch the edge we saw in

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots game, and we've heard McDaniel wax poetic about

0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:33.120
<v Speaker 1>this time and time again. The basis of this offense

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 1>begins in wide zone and that outside running game, and

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots began to adjust. They started adding multiple force

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 1>defenders of the equation where they would pull a second

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>defender off the edge to ensure we could not win

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the edge in from those same cover one and Cover

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 1>three looks. Go watch the film. On that final drive,

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 1>you consistently got overplay off the edge, which created bang lanes.

0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Bang is when the running.

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Back sees a gap open inside, puts his foot in

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the ground and gets horizontal a post to continuing his

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 1>track outside. It's the concept behind zone runs is bounce

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 1>bang and bend. Bounces going to the same side, bounce

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.440
<v Speaker 1>it out wide bang is get upfield bend, it is

0:26:08.480 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 1>go back against the grain, and it's the same for

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Right and Rahe Moster. They both were able to

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:16.879
<v Speaker 1>effectively do that, and they try to jump outside and

0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:19.399
<v Speaker 1>presume where a block was going, and Alec was so

0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 1>adept at adjusting on the fly, and the back would

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 1>follow him. We get second level springs with really no resistance.

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:27.679
<v Speaker 1>I think you can get that again against the Colts

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:31.240
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday. Get Grover Stewart rolling wide, get those linebackers

0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:33.639
<v Speaker 1>overplaying the outside stuff that they have to win that

0:26:33.680 --> 0:26:36.119
<v Speaker 1>way because they cannot get off blocks physically, and that

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:38.720
<v Speaker 1>can open everything else up inside and in the passing game.

0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I think if the Dolphins get the ball on the

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:43.080
<v Speaker 1>edge a couple of times early successfully, the Colts are

0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be in trouble. I think it's another Alec

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and John Neu game in that sense, and then we

0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>should be able to see Devon a chan factor back

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:51.960
<v Speaker 1>in when it comes to those wide runs and screen game.

0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if there's anybody in the league that's better

0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:57.920
<v Speaker 1>show them, I don't think there is one. So that's

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 1>number one. Number two falls off of that. We're gonna

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:02.400
<v Speaker 1>take a quick break rate here, come back and talk

0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:04.600
<v Speaker 1>about big things number two and three, what's at stake,

0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:06.560
<v Speaker 1>keys of the game, and predict the game here on

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:10.400
<v Speaker 1>you by Auto Nation.

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 2>We left off with a bit of a.

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Cliffhanger from thing number one against this Colts defense. Thing

0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 1>number two is to generate and take your shots. If

0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you watch the Dolphins HQ breakdown from this week from

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 1>that game winning drive, The Dolphins earned some of those

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 1>looks by emphasizing the opposite. For instance, the Patriots played

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a heavy box, single high look that turned into man

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>free post snap. That is a cover one, that's all

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:38.080
<v Speaker 1>it is. And they ran play action the Tyreek side,

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 1>and they got the vertical displacement on the hook linebacker

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that could have sunk back into that passing window, and

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 1>he came up and bit on the run action and

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>they threw that curl behind him against a post safety

0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and an outside leverage cornerback that is taking candy from

0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a baby that will never get defended against that look.

0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:57.160
<v Speaker 1>They earned that with the run game early on. Then

0:27:57.200 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I felt hitting that opened up the run game again

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 1>later on in that drive as we saw them peel

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.439
<v Speaker 1>back into light box and split safety looks, and we

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:06.280
<v Speaker 1>just went to work getting a hat on a hat

0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:08.639
<v Speaker 1>in the running game. You'll hear Moose Johnston on the

0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:11.680
<v Speaker 1>podcast tomorrow talking about the difficult role that alec Ingold

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:14.400
<v Speaker 1>had within that game and how his execution of it

0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:17.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of got things going. I really think you'll see

0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 1>more of the same, or I guess could I should

0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:22.359
<v Speaker 1>say I expect to Ron and Austin to have awesome games.

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I think Aaron Brewer, it's a tough matchup with Stuart

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:26.159
<v Speaker 1>size wise, but I think that he can get out

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:28.400
<v Speaker 1>wide are these linebackers and kind of force them into

0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 1>that overplay, and then the big guards Liam and Rob

0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Jones can kind of clean it up from there. With

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 1>all the tight end and fullbacks actions that we have

0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 1>in this game. Every matchup here favors Miami, even if

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't understand how the offensive line's playing, and a

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:41.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of folks don't. And the guy that on Twitter

0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:43.360
<v Speaker 1>doing all the or the YouTube channel doing all the

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 1>videos talking about how me and Kyle are just selling copium, Like, no, dude,

0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:48.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just football one on one.

0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 2>I keep showing it on tape. Maybe we'll see it

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:50.760
<v Speaker 2>this week. I don't know.

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 1>But they do not have the bodies to contend with

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 1>us up front. Raekwon Davis has made like two plays

0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 1>this year, two more than he made here, right, hey,

0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.280
<v Speaker 1>three stops on one hundred and sixty five. I write

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>an article about that, the way you're waxing about Brandon

0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Freakin Jones at a time. De da Boire has the

0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 1>same number of stops as Ray Kwan, playing just one

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred snaps and that's it, man, that's what they got.

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Beyond to forest bucking with light backers like go get these, dude,

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 1>it's right there for you. And the reason I bring

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 1>it back to taking your shots, I think that you

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>can influence the defense a little bit with that. And

0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:22.240
<v Speaker 1>we saw this back in Week one versus the Jags. Now,

0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the Colts have had a lot of communication breakdowns on

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the back end. Go look at the eighty five yard

0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 1>touchdown that Brian Thomas had against them two weeks ago

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 1>for that same Jags team. I think injuries and new

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 1>pieces have a lot to do with that, but they're

0:29:34.360 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>also busting coverages like two or three times a game

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that should be big touchdowns. And the reason I mentioned

0:29:39.800 --> 0:29:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the Jacksonville game, they squatted on that quick game and

0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:45.000
<v Speaker 1>robbed those crossers all day right then in the fourth

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 1>quarter we hit them with two deep overs playing behind

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>that glance in the quick game, they bite up, we

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 1>burn them over the top. It's an eighty yard touchdown

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 1>on the tyreek hill, a sixty three yard play to

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:55.160
<v Speaker 1>wall that should have been a touchdown. But I digress.

0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I think you can run the ball in this game.

0:29:57.080 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Then if you get the right call against the right look,

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 1>you can re we discover your explosive passing game that

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 1>has been so sorely missed. Even if it's just once,

0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 1>it can change a game. Kenny Moore is back and

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:09.080
<v Speaker 1>he's awesome. He's in the slot, keeping on him. He

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:12.240
<v Speaker 1>also plays outside when they're in their base packages. Julian

0:30:12.240 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Blackman has been a good player for a long time,

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 1>but he likes to play downhill and he plays in

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 1>that single high role like I think his game is

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 1>more tackling the hitting guys and then that's all safety

0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 1>knit Crossed knows. He leads them and stops beyond those

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:25.720
<v Speaker 1>two top linebackers Zaire Franklin and EJ.

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Speed. He's basically a third.

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Linebacker who comes downhill in those cover three looks like

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:32.440
<v Speaker 1>he's a hookbacker. And I think that you can get

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 1>them creeping up too out of that structure by pushing

0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the ball to the perimeter. Throw those comebacks, throw those

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 1>hitches against outside soft coverage, and Huntley has probably a

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 1>better arm to force those issues.

0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 2>So make that happen.

0:30:42.960 --> 0:30:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Force him to come up and get into their cover

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:46.800
<v Speaker 1>one looks, and then take your shots because you're in

0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 1>cover one that means either Rieker Wallall is gonna get

0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:50.520
<v Speaker 1>no safety help to their side.

0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 2>And the third thing.

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Is so basic. I'm told Bithack clean out operation. This

0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 1>one will be quick you're on the road, I expect

0:30:57.440 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 1>it to be loud. I think as things stan, even

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:02.120
<v Speaker 1>with the lineup changes and struggles and the quarterback play,

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 1>if you can just play a clean game, it'll go

0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot longer to having you surpassed twenty points for

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the first time this entire season, which is horrible to say,

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 1>especially when I think the recipe here is another strong

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:15.240
<v Speaker 1>rushing attack man. If we just stay out of those

0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 1>first and fifteens, in those second and twenties, I think

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:20.440
<v Speaker 1>we could control this game. Hopefully the byeweight cleans it up,

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 1>because it has been worse this year than ever before,

0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and it has to be better to win on the road,

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:28.920
<v Speaker 1>especially without two a tongue by Lowa. Some additional parts here.

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mention Layat two Lattu. He's not been good, guys.

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Thirteen pressures, one hundred and thirty pass rush reps has

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 1>just one sack. He'll get there, but he's not winning

0:31:36.640 --> 0:31:38.280
<v Speaker 1>one on one matchups right now. It's just a slow

0:31:38.280 --> 0:31:41.320
<v Speaker 1>start for the rookie. I mentioned Quidy pay and Deo Adebengo,

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 1>got that wrong. They're both guys that can kind of

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 1>play off the edge in the running game, so have

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to find a way to get them moved. I did

0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:50.320
<v Speaker 1>forget to mention Tave and Bryan in the defensive tackle

0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:53.760
<v Speaker 1>portion because he's that forgettable. It's basically Raekwon Davis, and

0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 1>that's who Davis gives snaps to. So that's your competition

0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:59.160
<v Speaker 1>on the inside. Two guys that were relatively high draft

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>picks that have made like four plays in their career combined.

0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Get after those guys. What's at stake kind of everything, right,

0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the divisions out of reach already. Personally, I

0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think we're good enough to beat Buffalo. I think

0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get split by them again. I think the

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Bills will eventually run away with things here in the

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.360
<v Speaker 1>AFC East, And if you fall behind the Colts by

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 1>two games and the standings with the head to head loss,

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 1>that could be tough to overcome, and the wild card

0:32:20.560 --> 0:32:23.480
<v Speaker 1>standings and the Jets are reeling, the Bills are within reach.

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I still don't think it's doable, but from a wildcard

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:30.000
<v Speaker 1>standpoint a conference game against a middling team with a quarterback.

0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:33.560
<v Speaker 1>With quarterback one for us on the horizon. I think

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 1>this is sort of an inflection point game. A win

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 1>here could change everything. A loss here, you're gonna get

0:32:38.600 --> 0:32:40.480
<v Speaker 1>more of what Travis was the last couple weeks in

0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the podcast. Win this one with really one of the

0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:46.360
<v Speaker 1>next five games coming up as a tall order like Buffalo,

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 1>because you have Arizona, the Rams, the Raiders, and the Patriots.

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Win this one, win four of those five. We're talking

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:57.320
<v Speaker 1>about a seven and four football team heading to Thanksgiving.

0:32:58.080 --> 0:32:58.760
<v Speaker 2>It's doable.

0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't expect it to happen, but just get us there,

0:33:02.280 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Give us that opportunity, give us your bones keys to victory.

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Number one, take the football away. Get three takeaways in

0:33:08.640 --> 0:33:10.480
<v Speaker 1>this game, and that should do the trick. Number two,

0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 1>keep Richardson in the pocket. That's how you create takeaways.

0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't hit him out of the pocket, keep him in there,

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:17.840
<v Speaker 1>beat him up that way. Number three, attack the perimeter

0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:20.760
<v Speaker 1>of the Colts defense, run and pass game. Attack that

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 1>soft coverage on the outside. Attack their inability to stop

0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the run that way, force overplay, and then hit inside.

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 1>My range of outcomes and prediction. I think it's very widespread.

0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I think the Dolphins will win if both Buckner and

0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 1>JT are down. If both are or even one is up,

0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking Indianapolis. I think it will be an ugly game.

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 1>What else should we expect? I can't forecast Miami being

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:47.040
<v Speaker 1>anything but disjointed on offense in a road environment until

0:33:47.080 --> 0:33:50.240
<v Speaker 1>they show us otherwise, and without QB one, you know,

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll say, if they get those guys back and Richardson

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>finds a rhythm, this game will get ugly. So I

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 1>think it could be an Indie blowout, but I think

0:33:57.000 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>it could be a close Dolphins win. I think it

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 1>lands somewhere in the middle there. And before my prediction here,

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 1>injury report just came out. So man, the Colts dnps

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:11.640
<v Speaker 1>were Josh Downs, Ryan Kelly, Deo Odegnobo, I can't say it.

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Michael Pittman, Braden Smith, E J. Speed, and Jonathan Taylor

0:34:15.360 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 1>all did not practice today. So Chris Lamon's on thore too.

0:34:18.239 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a fourth cornerback, So not looking good for them

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 1>off the top. We'll see what Thursday's injury report looks like,

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 1>but Wednesdays is very much in the Dolphins favor for Posterius.

0:34:26.960 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 1>We do the Dolphins as well. Tarn and Campbell didn't practice. Holland, Moe,

0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 1>David Long, Ogbaugh and Poyer were limited, and then eight Chan,

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Cam Smith, and Skyler were all full participants. I think

0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:39.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll get the takeaways. I think we'll make the same

0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 1>mistakes on offense. I think our run game will get

0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:44.920
<v Speaker 1>us field goals. So I'll take a Colts win twenty

0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to thirteen. But if both Buckner and JT are down,

0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:51.319
<v Speaker 1>I'll go Dolphins seventeen sixteen. That's the Prediction podcast. That

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 1>is my time today. Tomorrow, Moose Johnston and Kyle Krabs
