Speaker 1: You're listening to the Miami Dolphins podcast Network. This is
Speaker 1: Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. Back to throw to a looking
Speaker 1: clips about the wide Dolphin touchdown trick call uncrelievable, just
Speaker 1: blue fire for a second time. Don't know where he
Speaker 1: was going right away? Want to hit that though, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm wanna help you. Someone will stup on the bandwagon.
Speaker 1: Wattle Wattle to a shotgun, back to throw, looking at
Speaker 1: thems up fires touchdown. It's waddle his six touchdown. Pats
Speaker 1: up this day. Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. Now
Speaker 1: let me check your pulse if enough for what is up?
Speaker 1: Dolphins And welcome to the Drift Time Podcast, part of
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins podcast Network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 1: And on today's show, we turned the page to the
Speaker 1: New York Giants. We're previewing Dolphins and Giants Sunday at
Speaker 1: hard Rock Stadium. But first before we do that, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and evaluate the quarter pool of the season.
Speaker 1: Busy episode from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist
Speaker 1: Health Training Complex. This is the Drive Time Podcast may Caffe.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the Giants here in just a moment,
Speaker 1: even though you know the points spread in that game
Speaker 1: kind of tells you the expectation of that game, and
Speaker 1: we'll get into it here shortly. I don't really know
Speaker 1: how to break games do like that. Honestly, it's really
Speaker 1: tough to do games where I think the mismatch is
Speaker 1: so lopsided. But you know, anything can happen any given
Speaker 1: Sunday in the National Football League. But every year to
Speaker 1: that point, the football season goes in a direction that
Speaker 1: you did not expect. Right. Yeah, you'll be right with
Speaker 1: some things, but you'll be wrong about a lot more.
Speaker 1: I thought we tarked the year three and one, but
Speaker 1: I thought the l would come in the opening road
Speaker 1: date with Tron on the sideline. But I digress. Still,
Speaker 1: you guys know, I spent a whole summer telling you
Speaker 1: what to expect from ninety players, and not all of
Speaker 1: that was correct. So here are some players that I
Speaker 1: think have outperformed expectations and guys that I think we
Speaker 1: can get more from. And the best part about this,
Speaker 1: I think at least three of the four on the
Speaker 1: we can get more from list we'll turn things around
Speaker 1: here very quickly. So quarter pole evaluations outperformed Devon a Chan.
Speaker 1: I mean, what else can you have to say about that?
Speaker 1: I just didn't think the mental would click as fast
Speaker 1: as it has for him. It's been as fast as
Speaker 1: his play speed has been and eighteen percent of his
Speaker 1: runs have gone for fifteen plus yards this year. The
Speaker 1: next highest percentage on that list is twelve percent. It's absolutely,
Speaker 1: absolutely insane. Julian Hill. It's very difficult to tell how
Speaker 1: good the blocking is in training camp because it's not
Speaker 1: full contact, it's not live, but he's been pretty damn
Speaker 1: good there, very nice addition to that tight end two role.
Speaker 1: Durham smythe for me by far, the best year, by far,
Speaker 1: the best year of durham Smyth's career to date. He's
Speaker 1: been hitting key blocks and I love the way he
Speaker 1: times up his chip release game to give two of
Speaker 1: that last option when the downfield options are not available.
Speaker 1: Austin Jackson. I thought we were in for more of
Speaker 1: the same during training camp, and boy was I wrong.
Speaker 1: And I'm thrilled about it because I love Austin. He's
Speaker 1: been kicking ass out there. Isaiah Wim I thought he'd
Speaker 1: be replacement level at left guard, but he has been
Speaker 1: much more than that. A huge success, and replacement level
Speaker 1: would have been a huge success, but he's been significantly
Speaker 1: more than that. Kendall Lamb the exact same thing as
Speaker 1: Isaiah win Cut and Pace put it there. Andrew Van Ginkel, now,
Speaker 1: I just didn't know he had the pass rush moves
Speaker 1: in his arsenal that he's displayed so far. And he's
Speaker 1: been pretty what's the word I'm looking for here. He's
Speaker 1: been a mainstay on the top pass rushing productivity lists
Speaker 1: you see from multiple different websites. And then Deshaun Elliott.
Speaker 1: I knew he was a thumper who could come downhill
Speaker 1: and pop folks in the running game. I just didn't
Speaker 1: know how much coverage range he had in the back end.
Speaker 1: He's a key part of that quarter quarter half type
Speaker 1: of system they like to run on the backside some players.
Speaker 1: I believe that we can get more from Jalen Waddle
Speaker 1: and I this is why I'm talking about like guys
Speaker 1: that I would I don't say this in disparaging way,
Speaker 1: just haven't had the productivity we used to have out
Speaker 1: of those guys. Waddle missed some time back in training camp.
Speaker 1: But I think the Dolphins would be well served to
Speaker 1: get him more involved, and he's been open. You can,
Speaker 1: you know, change your progressions in your primaries on certain
Speaker 1: plays and get him more involved. I think that should
Speaker 1: be a key number one for the offense to kind
Speaker 1: of find new ways to continue to be explosive. Christian Wilkins. Look,
Speaker 1: it's a new defense. It's an entirely different scheme, a
Speaker 1: lot more you know, one gapping than two gapping, but
Speaker 1: taking on double teams. And it's been the same front
Speaker 1: pretty much every call we've had light boxes. It's a
Speaker 1: tough ask for him. He's played better than what he's
Speaker 1: showing you so far this year. David Long, I just
Speaker 1: didn't think that he was going to be wrong so
Speaker 1: as much as he has in the running game, in
Speaker 1: the fits, jumping out of gaps. But I expect it
Speaker 1: as more time goes along here, he'll get that dialed.
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb. I've said the pressure rate has improved since
Speaker 1: he got here, but we need more one on one
Speaker 1: from him. Dion Dawkins, you know, puts a lot of
Speaker 1: gu in the zero column in the pass rush department.
Speaker 1: But if we want to be a serious pass rush
Speaker 1: front that can get home with four you have to
Speaker 1: win those one on ones and it just hasn't been there.
Speaker 1: And then Jerome Baker not really sure. It's been a
Speaker 1: tough go there so far this season. So plenty to
Speaker 1: work on, plenty to get better with a team will
Speaker 1: progress and get better as we go along this season.
Speaker 1: A couple of chances to get right here before the
Speaker 1: big game in Philadelphia, and then of course the biggest
Speaker 1: game in about four weeks up in Germany against the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs that could have some massive, massive playoff
Speaker 1: implications there in terms of seating. Once we get to January,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the New York Giants. They come to
Speaker 1: town on Sunday for a one o'clock kickoff here at
Speaker 1: hard Rock Stadium, and they come into this game limping
Speaker 1: at one to three. And let's go ahead and go
Speaker 1: back further. Though. They had a bounce back year last
Speaker 1: season after some really challenging years going back to twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: Someone posted the picture of them on the boat before
Speaker 1: that playoff game. You know, the week they had off,
Speaker 1: they did a couple of days they had off before
Speaker 1: the playoff game against I think it was Green Bay
Speaker 1: that year in twenty sixteen when they lost, and since
Speaker 1: then their record is the worst in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: You know, twenty sixteen was the last time they made
Speaker 1: the playoffs eleven and five that year, but since then
Speaker 1: three and thirteen five and eleven four and twelve six
Speaker 1: and ten, four and thirteen nine, seven and one, but
Speaker 1: a playoff win there in Dables first year. And of
Speaker 1: those you know, what is that seventy something games, probably
Speaker 1: forty five of those been in primetime, So tough watches
Speaker 1: for us, you know, not casual what's the word impartial
Speaker 1: fans that don't have a preference there. This team that
Speaker 1: they have right now began taking shape back in the
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen draft class when they had three first round picks. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess twenty eighteen they brought Saquon Barkley and with
Speaker 1: a second overall pick in a year where it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be one of these generational quarterback classes, right,
Speaker 1: And it's kind of funny because twenty eighteen did produce
Speaker 1: two of those guys, but they were the fourth and
Speaker 1: fifth No, no, no, they were the third and fifth pick
Speaker 1: among quarterbacks in that class. I think most folks projected
Speaker 1: them to be fourth and fifth in that class, and
Speaker 1: then you know, twenty twenty one, you got one good
Speaker 1: quarterback out of that class. Right now, I still believe
Speaker 1: in justin fields. That's a different conversation for a different day.
Speaker 1: The offense in Chicago, I think is kind of limiting
Speaker 1: what he can do. And then what was the other one?
Speaker 1: I guess this year coming up as the next big one,
Speaker 1: but twenty twenty was the only class that really hit
Speaker 1: for multiple quarterbacks across the board there. But anyway, that
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen team should have gone quarterback. They took a
Speaker 1: running back, which you know that flies in the face
Speaker 1: of pretty much every analytical measure you can make these days.
Speaker 1: But the funny thing about it is, you know what
Speaker 1: should serve as you had another reminder of just how
Speaker 1: little we know about the draft and what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: It goes back to my first part about we spend
Speaker 1: you know, six months evaluating teams and having this perception
Speaker 1: of what we think they are, and then one game
Speaker 1: in for some people, you know, four games in for
Speaker 1: the rest determine that you know, everything we talked about
Speaker 1: all summer was bs. You know, some some people get
Speaker 1: some of that stuff right, but for the most part
Speaker 1: not really. But that draft class, I mean, everybody had
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold. Not your boy, not your boy.
Speaker 1: That was my my mona, Lisa Man my rankings year
Speaker 1: where Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Baker, Mayfield, Sam Donald, Josh Rosen.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and inflate the ego there a little bit. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the two best quarterbacks in that class wind up being
Speaker 1: Allen and Jackson, so they rectify the quarterback position. The
Speaker 1: Giants do by snagging Dan Jones with the sixth pick
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, and he just got that big pay
Speaker 1: day after guiding the Giants to the playoffs last year.
Speaker 1: But it is off to a miserable start this season.
Speaker 1: They did get their very best player in that draft
Speaker 1: class in Dexter Lawrence, but they bookended him with DeAndre
Speaker 1: Baker later in that first round. You guys think that
Speaker 1: you have some issues with only getting you know, four
Speaker 1: draft picks a year that hit on your roster. How
Speaker 1: about that first round with Daniel Jones and DeAndrea Baker.
Speaker 1: As you're a six and thirtieth pick in that year's draft,
Speaker 1: there's been plenty of resources poured into the offensive line,
Speaker 1: and they've had a hit. Andrew Thomas is their second
Speaker 1: best player for my money, behind Dexter Lawrence, a Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl franchise left tackle. They missed him this year so far.
Speaker 1: He's not playing. He didn't practice on Wednesday. They've bookended
Speaker 1: Thomas with Evan Neil last year with the I think
Speaker 1: it was the sick pick. If I'm not mistaken, it
Speaker 1: was top seven or eight. They added a really good
Speaker 1: looking center prospect this year in John Michael Schmidt's in
Speaker 1: the second round, but he didn't practice on Wednesday. Neither
Speaker 1: did left guard Shane Lemieux, and Evan Neil has been
Speaker 1: a disaster this year. We'll talk about that more in
Speaker 1: a second. The skill positions outside of Barkley, they have
Speaker 1: not invested heavily in. The only first round pick they
Speaker 1: have in that group was Kadarius Tony, who got traded
Speaker 1: for pennies on the dollar last year to Kansas City
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepard was the highest pick among them, a second rounder,
Speaker 1: and Jalen Hyat a third rounder this year, the next highest,
Speaker 1: and it seems like he might be the best player
Speaker 1: of them all, but they haven't really involved him so
Speaker 1: far on the offense. Now, they did spend big on
Speaker 1: Darren Waller with a trade this offseason and a contract
Speaker 1: from Las Vegas. I'd argue that was the best move
Speaker 1: they've made in that group since getting Barkley. And then
Speaker 1: defensively it's completely front loaded. It still has fingerprints of
Speaker 1: Dave Gelliman all over it. I mentioned Lawrence. They paid
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams big and he's a great player. I think
Speaker 1: Ashawn Robinson and rakeem Nuniez roaches are good players as
Speaker 1: kind of your nose tackle and backup knows there. I
Speaker 1: love Bobby Okeerik. Yeah, it was Okareky then Okhara Kaane
Speaker 1: Okareki who came over from the Colts this offseason. I
Speaker 1: was a big fan of his at Stanford. They also
Speaker 1: got Isaiah Simmons cheap from the Cardinals and man I wish,
Speaker 1: I wish he would have been available earlier. And then
Speaker 1: the secondary has seen a lot of resources port in
Speaker 1: it as well. First round pick Deonte Banks this year,
Speaker 1: love his game, but taking a bit of time to
Speaker 1: kind of marinate. Their third round pick, Cordell Flott, got
Speaker 1: a lot of playing time on Monday Xavier McKinney was
Speaker 1: a second round pick of few years back from Alabama.
Speaker 1: Love his game, and they spent big on a Dori
Speaker 1: Jackson to play some slot for them as well. So
Speaker 1: it's the second year under Dable with Wink Martindale. I
Speaker 1: met Wing Martindale up in Indianapolis of the Combine. Really
Speaker 1: cool dude, really really cool dude. But he dials up
Speaker 1: blitzes like nobody else's business. But in a slow start
Speaker 1: for the Giants. Looking to get things going, Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and talk about some of the key storylines here
Speaker 1: before he turn it over to the offensive preview against
Speaker 1: the Giants defense, and then a segment three will do
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense first Giants offense. But for me, it's all
Speaker 1: about the Dolphins here. I was not big on the
Speaker 1: Giants all year. Last year, they probably cost me a
Speaker 1: bunch of wins and the picks because they found victories
Speaker 1: against you know, the bottom feeders, the commanders and the yeah,
Speaker 1: the commanders of the world, but just playing a pretty
Speaker 1: soft schedule. This year, things have changed and things have
Speaker 1: gone back the other direction. So for me, all about Miami.
Speaker 1: Just get right man, big game last week. Didn't like
Speaker 1: you're capable of got a little bit of a not
Speaker 1: reality check because I don't think it changes anything about
Speaker 1: how good this team is. But maybe you got some
Speaker 1: humility there, served your way go put it on somebody,
Speaker 1: just like you did the last time you played in
Speaker 1: this building here across the street in Miami Gardens. And
Speaker 1: I had this conversation with some of our my coworkers
Speaker 1: here earlier today. I want to hear how you guys
Speaker 1: feel about this. Do you like find yourself finding it
Speaker 1: difficult to be present about this current game, cause, like
Speaker 1: you know, three and one, you lost in the Bills
Speaker 1: and everyone's kind of down you right now. But I
Speaker 1: keep thinking about how, like there's not a whole lot
Speaker 1: to gain from these next two games aside from the
Speaker 1: obvious fact of getting wins, which is massive, but in
Speaker 1: the perception aspect of it, like you expect to win
Speaker 1: these games. And it reminds me of the Patriots in
Speaker 1: a little bit of a way, like completely different but
Speaker 1: kind of similar in terms of like theirs and didn't
Speaker 1: start until the AFC Championship game for like eight years
Speaker 1: in a row, because they would go thirteen to three,
Speaker 1: they would get that first round by they'd mop up
Speaker 1: like the nine to seven Houston Texans in the divisional
Speaker 1: round and then play the Chiefs, whoever the Steelers in
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game. Do you guys kind of feel
Speaker 1: some of that, like for current time for the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: like you expect to destroy these next two teams, then
Speaker 1: you have a big game in week seven? Do you
Speaker 1: kind of feel like you're not being present enough. I
Speaker 1: need to do a better job myself just enjoying the
Speaker 1: process of playing these teams that were supposed to beat
Speaker 1: and enjoy winning those games. I think that's something we
Speaker 1: can all stand to do, especially on social media. Back
Speaker 1: to the podcast. You know, just get it right, go
Speaker 1: put it on somebody like you did last time you
Speaker 1: played in this building. And by that I just mean
Speaker 1: better basic execution. Cut out the operation issues, the penalties,
Speaker 1: the mistackles. Let's get fundamentals short up and get better
Speaker 1: in time for that Eagles game in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: That's not really a storyline. I mean, there aren't much
Speaker 1: in this game. Two teams that play once every four
Speaker 1: years or I guess now more recently with the seventeenth
Speaker 1: game and having played them back in twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: off the four year cycle. But I digress, and you
Speaker 1: have them coming to town really struggling. So what really
Speaker 1: are there? I guess Dable and McDaniel hired in the
Speaker 1: same cycle. They get the playoff win. Last year, we
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs, we have the three and one
Speaker 1: start versus their one and three start, and you know,
Speaker 1: there's not a person on the planet right now. They'll
Speaker 1: tell you the probably be the a giant situation than
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphin situation. But coaches will always tell you
Speaker 1: it's about the players, right. But it's also nice to
Speaker 1: go out and out coach and put it on a
Speaker 1: team and a guy that was hired in the same
Speaker 1: cycle as you would love to see Miami just get
Speaker 1: back to deploying design that puzzles opponents, that makes you say, like, man,
Speaker 1: they can't even keep up today. And then on the
Speaker 1: other side, the exact same thing. Let's boggle this team
Speaker 1: offensively because they have been terrible this year. Don't let
Speaker 1: them get right against you. Another one here, do you
Speaker 1: guys know this is the first time in the career
Speaker 1: of two tongue by Lowa. He's gonna play in a
Speaker 1: Week five game that to me is crazy. And I
Speaker 1: just continue to say this like people, are you know,
Speaker 1: committing Harry Cary as it were this past week over
Speaker 1: the Buffalo loss. But if we keep this guy healthy,
Speaker 1: I promise you will be just fine. And I'll give
Speaker 1: you an update on that in a prediction I have
Speaker 1: at the very into the podcast here, first four and
Speaker 1: one start since two thousand and two. Chance to make
Speaker 1: that happen first time in twenty years. Let's do that.
Speaker 1: How about thirteen and two in the last fifteen games
Speaker 1: at hard Rock Stadium. Just keep winning at home, baby,
Speaker 1: make it a fifteen and two here over these next
Speaker 1: two games against Carolina and New York. And then how
Speaker 1: about this your defensive splits at home versus on the road.
Speaker 1: Over that fifteen game stretch this year, the Dolphins averaged
Speaker 1: three point five yards per rush at home defensively and
Speaker 1: four point five on the road, one full yard better.
Speaker 1: Passer rating home versus road eighty four versus one thirteen.
Speaker 1: It's a big gap there. Last year three point eight
Speaker 1: yards on the ground, four point four on the road,
Speaker 1: about a half yard there or something, I don't know,
Speaker 1: something like that. And then eighty two passer rating versus
Speaker 1: one oh nine, like Massive Gaps twenty twenty one, after
Speaker 1: the winning streak started after the seven game losing or
Speaker 1: the five game losing streak, whatever, the seven game losing streak. Jesus,
Speaker 1: I'm all over the place. Four point three yards per rush,
Speaker 1: four point five on the road, so no big difference there,
Speaker 1: but a passer rating at home of sixty nine to
Speaker 1: one oh three. My goodness, Why is this defense so
Speaker 1: much better at home? Hopefully it can be that way
Speaker 1: this week as well. Let's go ahead and take our
Speaker 1: first break and come back and start on the Dolphins
Speaker 1: offense versus the Giants defense. That's next Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 1: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Autoundation, picking
Speaker 1: it back up for segment number two for Dolphins Giants
Speaker 1: Sunday at hard Rock Stadium. Let's go ahead and start
Speaker 1: with a Dolphins offense versus the Giants defense and the
Speaker 1: safeties that are going to be trying to confuse to
Speaker 1: a tongue of IOA or Xavier McKinney, former Alabama teammate,
Speaker 1: and I posted the clip on my Twitter timeline of
Speaker 1: me back at the combine, which was like my first
Speaker 1: day on the job here in the Miami Dolphins about
Speaker 1: two weeks before the pandemic took over our lives for
Speaker 1: a year plus. Was talking to Xavier McKinney, who gave
Speaker 1: me a great sound bite go check up check me
Speaker 1: out at Wingle NFL on Twitter, where I asked him
Speaker 1: about what is practicing against two a tongue of I
Speaker 1: looa every day done to improve your game, and he
Speaker 1: straight up said the way he looked me off, I
Speaker 1: didn't understand how he was seeing the field the way
Speaker 1: he did. If you think Tua can't get off his
Speaker 1: first read, like it's not what you're worth arguing about,
Speaker 1: Like you just you don't know ball dog. So he's
Speaker 1: back there. He's a really good player. And then Jason
Speaker 1: Pennock has filled in for Bobby McCain who got injured
Speaker 1: back in Week one, and it's been a pretty they've
Speaker 1: had difficulty filling out McCain's bro Let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: put it that way. A Dori Jackson plays ninety seven
Speaker 1: percent of their snaps. He kicks inside, then Cordell Flott
Speaker 1: comes in and plays a little bit inside outside. Deontay
Speaker 1: Banks has played seventy two percent of the snaps. Hawkins
Speaker 1: has played fifty six, and so you're gonna probably see
Speaker 1: more of a Dori Jackson, Deontay Banks, and Cordell Flott
Speaker 1: in this game at corner, and of course they go
Speaker 1: up against Barrios and Smyth inside, but also Hill Waddle,
Speaker 1: Sedyrick and Chosen with Ee and River Craycraft still down.
Speaker 1: The biggest mismatch I think we have here if we
Speaker 1: do not have Connor Williams, I think would be the
Speaker 1: interior of the Giants defensive line because Dexter Lawrence is
Speaker 1: a beast. He's played seventy percent of the snaps, Lendond
Speaker 1: Williams sixty three, Roaches forty one, and a Shawn forty
Speaker 1: so they have a prettye rotation up front of guys
Speaker 1: that can mix in. But I think if Miami gets
Speaker 1: their center back this week, the communication was much better
Speaker 1: before when they had him in there, and the pass blocking,
Speaker 1: the run blocking, everything was just a lot more symbiotic upfront.
Speaker 1: So I like our chances to at least slow those
Speaker 1: guys down if Connor comes back. If not, I think
Speaker 1: it drastically drastically changes the game plan of what you
Speaker 1: have to do off the edge. Cavon Thibodeau eighty four percent,
Speaker 1: Jihad Ward fifty percent, aziz O Jalari has been banged up,
Speaker 1: he's played twenty eight percent, but I think he'll be
Speaker 1: the starter on Sunday in that game. And then Oshane
Speaker 1: Ximinez seventeen percent, and their off ball linebackers going up
Speaker 1: against our running backs, Bobby Okarikei one hundred percent of
Speaker 1: the snaps, Micah McFadden seventy two and the Isaiah Simmons
Speaker 1: has been getting more and more of a workload after
Speaker 1: being traded back before Week one from the Cardinals. He's
Speaker 1: played twenty seven percent of their snaps. Their personnel usage,
Speaker 1: lots of bass. They're in base forty three percent of
Speaker 1: the time. That's three four thirteen percent and four to
Speaker 1: three thirty percent. So a hybrid front up there, and
Speaker 1: they'll mix up those fronts and kind of try to
Speaker 1: confuse the quarterback that way to get different simulated pressure looks.
Speaker 1: That's wink Martindale. Confuse the quarterback with your fronts, your coverages,
Speaker 1: and then send the house and make it so he
Speaker 1: doesn't know where the house is coming from. For this
Speaker 1: Giants front, it's been pretty effective. They run nickel half
Speaker 1: the time. That's fifty percent, and they're in dime seven
Speaker 1: percent of the time. But here's where I'm curious to
Speaker 1: see if they change their bread and butter. Because they
Speaker 1: play primarily single high safety. That's the structure of the
Speaker 1: defense man free cover one out of that base look
Speaker 1: with some type of blitz. Try to find out where
Speaker 1: that fifth man is coming from with seven or eight
Speaker 1: in the box. If you do that against Miami, you're
Speaker 1: asking to get beat deep. When they're in that nickel,
Speaker 1: it's a lot more zone. But then you get fire zones.
Speaker 1: Where's the pressure coming. Sometimes it's dB, sometimes it's linebackers.
Speaker 1: You just consistently will get simulated or real pressure looks.
Speaker 1: But I think there's two things against that. Number One,
Speaker 1: Tua needs to be his usual sharp self against that
Speaker 1: pre snap and try to identify where that stuff comes from.
Speaker 1: I'm sure coach will have you know, being at home
Speaker 1: against this team helps because you can, you know, get
Speaker 1: the communication better, get into the huddle, and then the
Speaker 1: fifteen second playclock, you know, the communication shuts down. But
Speaker 1: I think coach having two in his ear there will
Speaker 1: be helpful. And then number two, I think a lot
Speaker 1: of our motion and ability to lean into defenses. Overplay
Speaker 1: could really help us execute at a high level here.
Speaker 1: Some of that crack toss chipping ends using false keys
Speaker 1: outside running game and then play action off of that
Speaker 1: to use their aggressiveness and their one gap and get
Speaker 1: upfield against them. Very good opportunity here to take advantage
Speaker 1: of some overplay. They blitz so much forty one percent.
Speaker 1: It's the third most behind the Patriots and the Eagles,
Speaker 1: which are not that egals that the Vikings. I should say,
Speaker 1: go figure right, Belichick and Flores. They pressure on just
Speaker 1: fourteen point four percent of their total pass rush plays.
Speaker 1: That's not good. I think that's more indicative of having
Speaker 1: young corners on the outside than it is the pass rush.
Speaker 1: But they've got two players who really really make it
Speaker 1: go up front. Gotta have answers for Dexter Lawrence and
Speaker 1: cave On Tibadil. Frankly, I don't think you let Lawrence
Speaker 1: do anything without two guys on him. And Connor has
Speaker 1: do in a great job of helping with the guards,
Speaker 1: which is usually the center's project the projection ski responsibility
Speaker 1: is going and helping the guards. He does a great
Speaker 1: job of that, and the communication is just so much
Speaker 1: better when he's in there than when he's not. So
Speaker 1: whichever guard he hopefully we can get him back and
Speaker 1: make that happen this week, because you cannot let him
Speaker 1: wreck the interior pocket consistently. He's got quicks, he's got power,
Speaker 1: he plays a low pad level. Those are all things
Speaker 1: that will not go well if we don't have Connor
Speaker 1: in the lineup. Thibodeau, he's built in a lab type
Speaker 1: of pass rusher with great get off, a great stab,
Speaker 1: a great long arm, and pretty good arsenal of pass
Speaker 1: rush moves. Teams have ran at him this year, and
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the key, because you can
Speaker 1: take advantage of his aggressiveness and the fact that he
Speaker 1: doesn't really play the run on the way to the quarterback.
Speaker 1: He kind of just goes and chases the quarterback, and
Speaker 1: then all the mystery we have with our pre snap
Speaker 1: to kind of get him thinking a little bit and
Speaker 1: not let him play that fast or lean into the
Speaker 1: fact that he wants to play that fast and just
Speaker 1: use the play action and some overplay with that aggression.
Speaker 1: Those two guys are responsible for twenty five with their
Speaker 1: quarterback pressures this year. Seventeen for Lawrence, eight for TIBs
Speaker 1: and fourteen run stops, ten of those for Lawrence. Yeah,
Speaker 1: seventeen pressures, ten run stops. Lawrence is a freaking beast.
Speaker 1: But then you've also got Leonard Williams, who's still one
Speaker 1: of the top three three technique, five technique combo players
Speaker 1: in the business. I'm curious to see how he's deployed.
Speaker 1: But that's one of the key matchups where I think
Speaker 1: you've got to win someone on ones here. I've loved
Speaker 1: the play of the guards this year. And then also
Speaker 1: you know he'll get some rushes off the left tackle
Speaker 1: as well, So I'm really curious to see that matchup
Speaker 1: against Kendall Lamb. And then also Austin Jackson vus cave
Speaker 1: on Thibodeau because Austin's been really good against some good
Speaker 1: players this year. He gets another one here and he
Speaker 1: can shut down Thibodeau. Man, start thinking about your Jackson extension,
Speaker 1: because he's been fantastic this season. Two things in the secondary,
Speaker 1: adri Jackson is playing pretty good football, But beyond that,
Speaker 1: there's lots of youth there. Like listen, I think Deontay
Speaker 1: Banks is going to be a really good player, and
Speaker 1: Cordell Flott might be a long term solution there for
Speaker 1: them as well on the perimeter and inside. But I
Speaker 1: think it's really, really, really tough to cover Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: and Jaln Waddle for anybody, but especially for a rookie.
Speaker 1: You just haven't seen that type of speed and that move,
Speaker 1: those types of moves really any point of your career,
Speaker 1: especially for a guy from Maryland in the Big ten,
Speaker 1: like there's no big time receivers that do what these
Speaker 1: guys do. Flott played at LSU, so he has seen
Speaker 1: you know, some of the Alabama guys in LSU guys
Speaker 1: every day in practice. But I'm of the belief that
Speaker 1: the hardest position to come in and have an immediate
Speaker 1: impact is cornerback and tight end aside from quarterback, but cornerback.
Speaker 1: If we've just seen so many first round corners get
Speaker 1: to the league and struggle, like Jeff Akudo right, he
Speaker 1: was a slam dunk, can't miss, hasn't been good. We
Speaker 1: saw no Egguinogany struggle from day one. Here. Banks has
Speaker 1: the athletic profile to hang with these guys. He has
Speaker 1: a nine to nine to nine RAS, basically top percentile
Speaker 1: among all cornerbacks ever to work out in Indie. But Flot,
Speaker 1: do you guys recall the Lions preview podcast last year
Speaker 1: when I put a sombrero on the slot corner and
Speaker 1: then Waddle scoring two touchdowns on him. I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: that again right here, because Flot is super stiff, the
Speaker 1: explosions not there, the three cones super slow, below fiftieth percentile.
Speaker 1: His thirty four inch vertical was like in the twentieth
Speaker 1: percent tile, and his four five two forty yard dashes
Speaker 1: below mid tier as well. So thirty snaps last week,
Speaker 1: twenty six of those in the slot. I think Wattle,
Speaker 1: I've been saying this for a while now, Wattle can
Speaker 1: get going against this guy. When you kick him inside,
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have pockets of space to throw
Speaker 1: the fot ball into because their second level is just
Speaker 1: nowhere near the capability of what the Bills had. But
Speaker 1: in that second level there's a couple of pretty damn
Speaker 1: athletic profiles in Okareki and Simmons. But what I think
Speaker 1: made Warner and Greenlaw last year and then Milano and
Speaker 1: Bernard this year most adept to take away some of
Speaker 1: what we do and get those deep drops. I don't
Speaker 1: think you can completely take it away at all, but
Speaker 1: to force us to get off those first reads and
Speaker 1: just be really sharp and precise in the second and
Speaker 1: third read in the progression, which too, it was for
Speaker 1: most of the plays in the game on Sunday. And
Speaker 1: you know, as our coaches say, just beyond your stuff.
Speaker 1: But what makes them adept at it is the instincts
Speaker 1: and field they have. I think that's Okareki's game. I
Speaker 1: think Simmons is pretty much peer athleticism and trust me,
Speaker 1: like you long times know how much I loved Isaiah
Speaker 1: Simmons coming out of the draft class that year, probably
Speaker 1: my favorite non quarterback prospect ever, which has been a
Speaker 1: miss for me so far. But I digress. I think
Speaker 1: Arizona didn't know what they were doing coaching staff wise.
Speaker 1: Again I digress, but it didn't work out there. It's
Speaker 1: just I'm always leary of player that has that type
Speaker 1: of range and lengthen can ballhawk when I'm game planning
Speaker 1: in a game like this, But holding those guys at
Speaker 1: the running game and you know, not being behind by
Speaker 1: three scores helps that as well. But I think this
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for an offense to get back to
Speaker 1: the insanely efficient, explosive self. Gotta seize that opportunity and
Speaker 1: make it happen. But I think it's there for you.
Speaker 1: And then the last thing, they play a fair deal
Speaker 1: of soft and off on the perimeter and then try
Speaker 1: to rally and tackle. But that game on Monday night
Speaker 1: was a bunch of really bad angles. Man. That big
Speaker 1: play from Noah Fan at the end of the half,
Speaker 1: that was terrible, terrible football. If you take bad angles
Speaker 1: against Miami, it's gonna be six points. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good night, nurse. So evident by the Giants forty
Speaker 1: miss tackles they have this season or second most in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Force them to tackle us in space, and
Speaker 1: you should get some lucrative explosives on the offense as
Speaker 1: a result. So there you go, Dolphins offense first, Giants defense.
Speaker 1: Will come back on the other side and do Dolphins
Speaker 1: defense first Giants offense. That's next Draft Time podcast, your
Speaker 1: host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by I don't know shit.
Speaker 1: We've done the Dolphins offense first, the Giants defense. Let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and flip the script there and put it
Speaker 1: on its head and do Dolphins defense, and of course
Speaker 1: Dan Jones the quarterback got a play better, it'd be
Speaker 1: called Daniel in my opinion, he'll will see the combination
Speaker 1: of Holland Elliott and Brandon Jones. Hopefully a lot more
Speaker 1: to Sean Elliott this week if he come back from
Speaker 1: the injury, and then on the perimeter. Look like there's
Speaker 1: a lot of good receivers in the NFL, and not
Speaker 1: every team has the benefit of having those good receivers.
Speaker 1: Like we saw the Patriots try to, you know, move
Speaker 1: the ball against us, and you just cannot win on
Speaker 1: like hitches and flats and like quick hits like you
Speaker 1: have to have some explosive, some tackle breaking on the
Speaker 1: back end, and teams that don't will find themselves in
Speaker 1: the same situation the Patriots and the Giants areaing with.
Speaker 1: They're one to three and just have really little life
Speaker 1: on offense. So like Slayton eighty percent player, he's he's fine,
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgens sixty percent player, Jalen Hyatt thirty eight percent.
Speaker 1: Inside Paris Campbell's their primary slot fifty one percent. They
Speaker 1: do get wan Dell Robinson involved at twenty two percent,
Speaker 1: but then Darren Wallers, they're eighty percent play at tight
Speaker 1: end with Daniel Bellinger at forty. I mean a lot
Speaker 1: of those guys. I think Waller's probably the only guy
Speaker 1: on the entire list that it starts like anywhere else,
Speaker 1: say for maybe New England. So for the Dolphins secondary,
Speaker 1: a chance to hopefully get some of the rules and
Speaker 1: coverages back figured out, because last week was really ugly
Speaker 1: in coverage and busting coverages. Let's get back to, you know,
Speaker 1: locking some guys down like we'veeen in the past here,
Speaker 1: this group is you know, I don't know that they're
Speaker 1: not going to threaten you vertically. They're not going to
Speaker 1: threaten you with the ball in their hands after the fact.
Speaker 1: In terms of the interior offensive line, I don't know
Speaker 1: what the Giants offensive line is going to look like
Speaker 1: because their left tackle, left guard, and center did not
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday, and they had to run out some
Speaker 1: guys out there on Monday night that just couldn't get
Speaker 1: the job done. Eleven sacks in that game. Joshua as
Speaker 1: Endu as a Do is the left tackle who, man,
Speaker 1: he couldn't block anybody. I don't know how to put
Speaker 1: this nicely. He couldn't block anybody. Marcus McKeithen stepped in.
Speaker 1: Didn't work out for him. Ben Bredeson moved from guard
Speaker 1: to center and ran over Shane Lemu is actually from
Speaker 1: my hometown or one of my hometowns, Yakama, Washington, where
Speaker 1: I lived for a few years, went to Oregon, got
Speaker 1: drafted in the sixth round. I believe disaster, absolute disaster.
Speaker 1: He was the starting left guard. That's out, so we'll
Speaker 1: see if he plays. But Evan Neil, their right tackle,
Speaker 1: who was a high draft pick last year, has the
Speaker 1: most pressures allowed on the team at running back. Well
Speaker 1: Barkley play I don't know, forty two percent of the
Speaker 1: snap so far, but he's their primary guw he's out there.
Speaker 1: Matt Brida has played forty three percent of the snaps.
Speaker 1: You guys know him. He caught that wheel route and
Speaker 1: tripped over himself in the game on Monday night, like okay,
Speaker 1: and then bright Well sixteen percent. But they brought back
Speaker 1: Justin Pew to the practice squad who had a torn
Speaker 1: ACL last year with Arizona. I think that's probably a
Speaker 1: solution if they can't get guys back who are missing
Speaker 1: practice time this week, John Michael schmidtz is down. Sounds
Speaker 1: like a very impressive rookie. He was knocked out of
Speaker 1: the game on a quarterback sneak on Monday night, and
Speaker 1: again they lost Lemiu in the game. They also lost
Speaker 1: Bellinger the tight end, and of course Barkley was down
Speaker 1: and could make his return this week. Getting him and
Speaker 1: Thomas back would be huge for them, but it sounds
Speaker 1: not great for Andrew Thomas there as well. So personnel
Speaker 1: usage wise, there's not a lot of mystery here. Eight percent, eleven, twenty,
Speaker 1: six percent and twelve and then some variations of other
Speaker 1: personnel groupings that don't amass to more than like five
Speaker 1: percent each. Not much variety, but I wonder how much
Speaker 1: that changes with the prospect of Bellinger being out. You
Speaker 1: also wonder how much they might try to help the
Speaker 1: line and protection after that eleven sack Monday night football game.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't help both tackles. And it's been
Speaker 1: a big struggle so far for Evan Neil in the
Speaker 1: second season, and they just felt that loss of Thomas
Speaker 1: because the left tackle position like it was, it looks
Speaker 1: like elementary for them to get around that edge so frequently.
Speaker 1: As Zdu has nine pressures allowed in four sacks on
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty nine pass blocking snaps like Yike's
Speaker 1: Lemieux six pressures on sixty seven Nope. Ben Bretteson, who
Speaker 1: played some garden center four on one twenty two, is
Speaker 1: actually pretty good, even though center is the position where
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have that many pressures allowed. Mark Glowinski ten
Speaker 1: on ninety three, Marcus McKeithen ten on one thirty seven,
Speaker 1: Evan Neil twenty on one eighty four. Bro has every
Speaker 1: seven snaps like it's terrible. Andrew Thomas has three on
Speaker 1: thirty four. He was injured in Game one. He's one
Speaker 1: of the best in the league. Probably won't be out
Speaker 1: there on Sunday. The Seahawks continuously won with a combination
Speaker 1: of two things around the outside length and get off.
Speaker 1: That's basically Chubbs and Phillips game man, that's what they're
Speaker 1: built off of. And geek. For sure, they get off,
Speaker 1: but a little bit more of his success comes from
Speaker 1: the moves and secondary you know, secondary rush moves compared
Speaker 1: to his length. Those are the matchup with Miami has
Speaker 1: to really exploit this week and get this defense. You
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna want against this group is getting
Speaker 1: those guys around the edge when they're one on one.
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones looked comfortable in structured last year, with a
Speaker 1: pretty good mix of pass and designed run, which I
Speaker 1: think is where this team is most dangerous. Daniel Jones
Speaker 1: running the football tells you how much they're struggling. But
Speaker 1: teams have dialed up pretty similar game plans against the
Speaker 1: Giants this year, lots of man coverage, they bring extra
Speaker 1: bodies because between the line play and Jones is phil Phil.
Speaker 1: If you thought Ryan Dannehill had bad pocket feel, watch
Speaker 1: this quarterback. Man. He takes a ton of big shots
Speaker 1: that just doesn't seem like he knows they're coming. And
Speaker 1: I mentioned this in the Broncos preview, how I'd never
Speaker 1: seen a quarterback hit more than Russell Wilson against Washington.
Speaker 1: The game prior now I have it was Jones versus
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and he's tough dude, like he kept getting
Speaker 1: up and I thought, like he's gonna get knocked out
Speaker 1: at some point in this game, but he kept getting
Speaker 1: up off the canvas. I think this is a good
Speaker 1: study and a quarterback feeling comfortable versus not because last year,
Speaker 1: you know, say what you will about Daniel Jones and
Speaker 1: I certainly have, but throwing picks, he just five last year,
Speaker 1: but through four games now he's got six already. And
Speaker 1: last year, yeah, I was like twelve touchdown passes too,
Speaker 1: So the offense had no explosive nature to it whatsoever.
Speaker 1: But you pair six picks this year in four games
Speaker 1: with the fact that he has forty nine fumbles since
Speaker 1: he came into the NFL in twenty nineteen, the most
Speaker 1: by far of anybody. So I think for Miami, you
Speaker 1: got to get a couple this week, make him uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: hit him in the pocket, turn the ball over, jump
Speaker 1: some routes, and just make life tough on them. Two
Speaker 1: touchdowns versus six picks, he had four fumbles and averages
Speaker 1: just five point eight yards per pass. It has been
Speaker 1: a slug. I think the lack of comfort in the
Speaker 1: pocket has impacted the decision making a little bit too.
Speaker 1: So I think we can execute a good mix of
Speaker 1: man's own. Maybe you see Snowman or X or Cater
Speaker 1: jump around at some point and get going the other
Speaker 1: way with a defensive score. The weapons just don't create explosives.
Speaker 1: It's tough to do when you can't get to protection consistently.
Speaker 1: Dialed in. But some recent mid round draft picks just
Speaker 1: have not developed into gems like you would hope they would.
Speaker 1: I guess you know, they don't have a clear number
Speaker 1: one guy. Slayton, Hyatt, Campbell all decent players, but they
Speaker 1: just have an uncovered a guy that you know the
Speaker 1: ball's going to go to on third down. But if
Speaker 1: there is one, it's their tight end. Darren Waller. He's
Speaker 1: showing the skills that made him one of the game's
Speaker 1: top tight ends a year ago, but he's a slot receiver.
Speaker 1: He's not a tight end. You never see him in
Speaker 1: the why alignment attached that was typically Bellinger. Evident by
Speaker 1: the fact that Waller has just twelve pass block snaps
Speaker 1: this year and Bellinger having twenty six despite playing half
Speaker 1: as many snaps. You get the idea of their roles
Speaker 1: from that usage. So if Bellinger can't go, the next
Speaker 1: tight end is Lawrence Cager, another classic inline why tight end.
Speaker 1: But I think if you're going to compare this offense
Speaker 1: to a group you've seen not ready, it's that Patriots group. Man.
Speaker 1: You get a pretty similar approach offensively in terms of
Speaker 1: the desire to run the football and throw quick, hot,
Speaker 1: short have you guys seen Daniel Jones's passing charge from
Speaker 1: Monday night. It goes back to the protection a little
Speaker 1: bit here, but six throws behind the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: twenty three throws nine yards under, and then two throws
Speaker 1: ten to nineteen yards and none beyond twenty yards. You
Speaker 1: cannot succeed in the National Football League doing that. Seattle
Speaker 1: came after him with the blitz two twenty one dropbacks
Speaker 1: and they stacked him on six of them, a twenty
Speaker 1: nine percent sack rate. That's one of every three. You
Speaker 1: cannot you can't score points doing that. Fourteen pressures, that's
Speaker 1: a two thirds pressure rate. Jones went eight of eleven
Speaker 1: on passes he got off under when he was blitzed,
Speaker 1: but only for forty one yards. That's three point seven
Speaker 1: yards per pass when he was pressured. That's twenty three
Speaker 1: out of fifty dropbacks, almost half. He was four for
Speaker 1: eight with seventeen yards two point one per pass, a pick,
Speaker 1: and eleven sacks. Let's just call a space of spade man.
Speaker 1: This offense is a disaster right now. They've got a
Speaker 1: really good staff. They have a veteran quarterback who's mentally
Speaker 1: and physically tough, so I think at some point they
Speaker 1: could potentially get settled back into like NFL style offense.
Speaker 1: But right now, man, it is just bad. I would
Speaker 1: fire zone the crap out of them, and probably we will.
Speaker 1: Vic has been pretty transparent what he thinks of opposing
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in terms of how he plays them, soft and
Speaker 1: conservative against Herbert and Allen brought the house against Russ
Speaker 1: and Mack. Where do you think Dan falls in this one?
Speaker 1: There's only you know, the only positives they had offensively
Speaker 1: last week were man beaters like you know, third and
Speaker 1: four man coverage, runs, some rubs and picks, and he
Speaker 1: has that Tannehill like feel, prone to big hits and fumbles.
Speaker 1: I'll be curious see how they attack this. They want
Speaker 1: to blitz him, do they want to hang back. I
Speaker 1: also am curious to see how they kind of transition
Speaker 1: the secondary and who's available, if Elliott's back, if Apple's
Speaker 1: back up, if cater gets more time back inside opposed
Speaker 1: to outside. Like coach always says, you need to progress
Speaker 1: through the year, and I think Miami needs to use
Speaker 1: those first four games really the next couple of games
Speaker 1: as well to continue finding out what works and who
Speaker 1: the pieces are that can best execute this system and
Speaker 1: know the rules and know where they're going. I think
Speaker 1: the recipe for finding you know, stops and splash plays
Speaker 1: and overall success while the system sets into places to
Speaker 1: play aggressive go get stuff. We've seen the blitz production
Speaker 1: with the third best EPA in the NFL compared to
Speaker 1: the fourteenth best without it, and sorry, this is the
Speaker 1: eighteenth best. I'm sorry, And that's skewed because I think
Speaker 1: you rarely blitz Herbert and Allen, and you came after
Speaker 1: Russ and Jones. But I think that's maybe a good
Speaker 1: way to get Jones off the spot this week as
Speaker 1: a come after him. Frankly, it's a get right game, guys.
Speaker 1: I want to see Baker and Long mess these dudes up.
Speaker 1: Bring the pressure, fit the run, find a body and
Speaker 1: zone match. And that's true for X as well. It's
Speaker 1: looking like a corner who hasn't played a ton of
Speaker 1: zone in his career. And then Brandon Jones if he
Speaker 1: gets some snaps like it looked like he was learning
Speaker 1: French in his first day, like French one oh one,
Speaker 1: and then up front literally across the board, let's get going,
Speaker 1: Christian Chubb JP. If you play let's get going. Guys,
Speaker 1: come on, three keys this game. They're gonna be simple.
Speaker 1: Make Daniel Jones uncomfortable. They're struggling to protect the quarterback.
Speaker 1: Just continue to do that. Get some sacks, some takeaways.
Speaker 1: Number two, get the playmakers in space. Forty missed tackles
Speaker 1: for the Giants second most of the NFL, and nobody
Speaker 1: erase his angles like the Dolphins. Speed on offense. And
Speaker 1: then three play a clean game. Minimized penalties, minimize your coverage,
Speaker 1: bust no, no special teams, gaffes. Just be on your
Speaker 1: stuff because the Giants in that game also on special teams.
Speaker 1: We're awful there too, So those are your keys. What's
Speaker 1: at stake? I have forgotten to do this segment to
Speaker 1: last four games, so I apologize, but this one not
Speaker 1: a lot. Interconference games technically are the least important when
Speaker 1: it comes to tie breakers at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: But hosting a three to one team at home coming
Speaker 1: off that defeat, I think it's important to get back
Speaker 1: on track and get some confidence going again. We also
Speaker 1: haven't had a four to one start in twenty years,
Speaker 1: so the best five games start in twenty one years.
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty cool at stake. Areas of concern,
Speaker 1: I don't have any I suppose their pass rush interior
Speaker 1: versus US if we don't have Connor. But if Connor plays,
Speaker 1: I feel good about that. Then area is to exploit
Speaker 1: young corners, an offensive line that hasn't blocked anybody. I mean,
Speaker 1: really across the board. Prediction time. We missed that one
Speaker 1: last week, didn't we But this is not a team
Speaker 1: that should be able to compete with US. I was
Speaker 1: gonna go high thirties versus teams like thirty eight seventeen,
Speaker 1: but after seeing that injury report and how I feel
Speaker 1: about this Dolphins team, I'm gonna say forty two, forty
Speaker 1: five to seventeen, forty five to ten, forty five to ten.
Speaker 1: That's my prediction here. But also have another one for
Speaker 1: you guys, And I see this from a certain Jets
Speaker 1: found Twitter that we all know. You know, he talks
Speaker 1: about all the time, tweets about it eight times a day,
Speaker 1: how the Dolphins only beat bad teams and they stink
Speaker 1: right Well, guys, that have some bad news for you.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know it is for Joey. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but we have a lot of bad teams on the
Speaker 1: schedule coming up from now to Christmas Eve. Not bad teams,
Speaker 1: but you know, not the top cream of the cream
Speaker 1: of the crump, as it were. I also think we're
Speaker 1: a tough matchup with the Chiefs. How we match up
Speaker 1: against them is tough for them, and of course injuries
Speaker 1: can always change this. But we're going into the Christmas
Speaker 1: Eve game twelve and two at worse eleven and three.
Speaker 1: Fight me about it. Let's get out of here tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Giants beat reporter. I'm not sure who that is yet,
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out. In the meantime, I also have
Speaker 1: Raheem Moster joining me here in studio on Friday's podcast.
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss that. We are through hump day.
