Speaker 1: You were listening to the Miami Dolphins podcast Network. This
Speaker 1: is Drive Time with Travis Wheatfield. Back to throw to
Speaker 1: a looking gla wine open touchdop Toneric Kill unbelievable. Just
Speaker 1: flu bire for a second time to know where he
Speaker 1: was going right away. Ahead of that the man I
Speaker 1: want to help you soon up on his way. Wattle,
Speaker 1: waddle to a shotgut back, that's throw all looking stuffs
Speaker 1: up fires touchtop again, it's waddle. It's six touchdown pa day.
Speaker 1: Drive Time with Travis Winfield begins. Now let me check
Speaker 1: your pulse if what is up? Dolphins and welcome to
Speaker 1: the Drivetime podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins podcast Network,
Speaker 1: covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's it going? Everybody?
Speaker 1: I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
Speaker 1: we look at the aftermath from week number six, where
Speaker 1: things worked, where they didn't, and everything in between. On
Speaker 1: the All twenty two recap, plus we'll look at the
Speaker 1: key numbers, snap counts, and here from head coach Mike
Speaker 1: McDaniel on his Monday media availability from the Baptist Health
Speaker 1: Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the
Speaker 1: Drags Podcast let's jump right in here to the All
Speaker 1: twenty two review, taking a look at this tape and
Speaker 1: start off as we do weekly, with the offense and
Speaker 1: a few notes that I thought were just kind of
Speaker 1: interesting as far as how the offense is structured and
Speaker 1: designed in the play sequencing. And I continue to be
Speaker 1: a big fan because the very first play of the game,
Speaker 1: and we talked about this on the preview podcast about
Speaker 1: how this Viking zone defense finds landmarks, gets their deep
Speaker 1: drops and kind of has some space you can pick
Speaker 1: apart in the middle. And from the very first play,
Speaker 1: I thought you saw the equality of the pacing and
Speaker 1: the timing of the routes in this offense. You go
Speaker 1: back and watch that play all four eligibles, it's the
Speaker 1: go into the pattern, sink their hips and got into
Speaker 1: the route at the exact same time. It is like
Speaker 1: watching synchronized swimming, and I think it speaks highly to
Speaker 1: the synchronicity of the offense and how the design of
Speaker 1: each play is predicated on the idea of creating spacing.
Speaker 1: Every route has a purpose. Go watch any of the
Speaker 1: great film evaluators we have out there, and right now
Speaker 1: there's hundreds of them. In this in this space and
Speaker 1: dollars to donuts. When you see an interception where it's
Speaker 1: difficult to understand why would the quarterback throw the ball
Speaker 1: to that spot, what was his read? What was his
Speaker 1: thinking there? You will almost always see the absence of
Speaker 1: a particular route that should be holding a defender who
Speaker 1: sinks into the coverage comes off there man. Whatever the
Speaker 1: case may be, the lack of a route designed to
Speaker 1: create the space for the route you want to throw
Speaker 1: can be the reason a lot of the times and
Speaker 1: the vikings, as we learned in those podcasts on Thursday
Speaker 1: and Friday, want to play coverage and keep the roof
Speaker 1: on top of the defense, and Miami did so well
Speaker 1: throughout this game with the spacing and timing to create
Speaker 1: easy windows for their quarterbacks. It's why I believe, you know,
Speaker 1: when we get to a back in the fold, we
Speaker 1: can continue to put in those hours over the course
Speaker 1: of several weeks of an NFL season with him working
Speaker 1: with this first team offense. Again, I have no doubt
Speaker 1: in my mind this offense is still not even close
Speaker 1: to reaching its peak form and what we can get
Speaker 1: from this group, But I do think we'll see that
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later, maybe even this week, Like I
Speaker 1: think it's coming very soon. An offensive explosion with what
Speaker 1: you have in terms of spacing and timing the receivers
Speaker 1: we have in the in the building as far as
Speaker 1: you know, creating space and what you're getting back in
Speaker 1: terms of your quarterback and potentially offensive lineman hopefully coming
Speaker 1: up this week. The thirty yard ball to Waddle to
Speaker 1: start the second drive from Skylar Thompson. You see Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill take his motion across the formation straight into a
Speaker 1: vertical route. He seen that this time this year, plenty
Speaker 1: of times right where he gets that full speed running
Speaker 1: start and then just boom, he's off and he's getting vertical.
Speaker 1: He's doing up ground immediately. And you also see on
Speaker 1: the other side of the formation Tanner Connor who takes
Speaker 1: a full sprint down the seam from his attached alignment.
Speaker 1: That why position the tight end right next to your
Speaker 1: offensive tackle, and both of those vertical routes with Tyreek's
Speaker 1: four to speed and the headstart and Tanner Conner's four
Speaker 1: four speed from that attached position, it completely removes the
Speaker 1: top of the defense and that allows Waddle to run
Speaker 1: his deep over into a completely vacated space. When scotlar
Speaker 1: Let's the football go, Wattle is between the hash mark.
Speaker 1: He's in the middle of the football field at the
Speaker 1: thirty yard line. The closest defender is the underneath hook
Speaker 1: who is eight yards in front of Jalm, and then
Speaker 1: the three deep. Each deep player is covering a third.
Speaker 1: Each of the deep thirds are sprinting towards the end
Speaker 1: zone ten yards away from him because they have to
Speaker 1: worry about Cheetah and Tanner Connor. You've never seen a
Speaker 1: player that wide open thirty yards down field. It's part
Speaker 1: of the offensive structure. It's why I'm so excited about
Speaker 1: the few drow of this offense, even just six games
Speaker 1: in here under Mike McDaniel. Then there's a wheel route
Speaker 1: to Trent Shurefield. I know you guys recall it got
Speaker 1: called back on a penalty where Waddle runs a slant
Speaker 1: that displaces the curl defender. That creates that space for
Speaker 1: shure Field up the sideline. Again, timing and spacing continues
Speaker 1: to create these nice opportunities for whoever is playing the
Speaker 1: quarterback position. The coolest part about it is that Surefield
Speaker 1: is the fly sweet motion running behind Waddle to the boundary.
Speaker 1: The short side of the field. Remember boundaries not referring
Speaker 1: to the perimeter. It's the short side of the field
Speaker 1: and Tyreek is in a nasty split to the field.
Speaker 1: What's that means? The fields the wide side of the
Speaker 1: field and the nasty split means you're in close to
Speaker 1: the offensive tackle basically a tight end position, and he
Speaker 1: runs split flow at the snap. What does that mean?
Speaker 1: It means he comes across the formation like you would
Speaker 1: uh to kind of mix up your zone looks in
Speaker 1: the running game, which just gives the linebackers so much
Speaker 1: to keep their eyes on. You have a potential hand
Speaker 1: off to sherefield, a potential inside shovel to Tyreek running
Speaker 1: that same direction just from a more delayed pattern, a
Speaker 1: potential quick hitter slant inside to waddle, and then the
Speaker 1: forgotten route winds up being the most dangerous one, a
Speaker 1: wheel route fifteen yards downfield before the balls to him,
Speaker 1: or I should say the ball gets there when he's
Speaker 1: fifteen yards downfield and the nearest dB is three or
Speaker 1: four yards away. So there was multiple instances where guys
Speaker 1: are just wide the heck opened in this offense, and
Speaker 1: man on the play where Teddy got tripped on his
Speaker 1: drop back Jalen Waddle comes wide open on an over
Speaker 1: route and I'm not sure where the progression would have
Speaker 1: taken him, obviously, but if we see if we see
Speaker 1: that route and we hit that route, it's minimum first
Speaker 1: in goal. If not a touchdown, we wind up making
Speaker 1: a field goal. But it's just that's how frustrating this
Speaker 1: tape was. Like, if your right guards, you know, left
Speaker 1: foot kick slide is three inches further up the field
Speaker 1: that doesn't trip Teddy Bridgewater, you potentially have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to see that route and hit it for a big play,
Speaker 1: maybe even a touchdown. Uh. Those are the some of
Speaker 1: the offensive structures I was looking at that I thought
Speaker 1: were really pleasing to the eye. Let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: get to the individuals. Here's talking about Skylart Thompson at
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. I thought his very first play of
Speaker 1: the game was really good progression where he got to
Speaker 1: the backside after crossing off his front side checklist. So
Speaker 1: that's a good uh, you know, look for the young
Speaker 1: quarterback to be able to get through that. There was
Speaker 1: a corner route on the second play of the game
Speaker 1: where we took Tyreek Hill to the flat with a
Speaker 1: cloud corner before Skyler separates the hands has already made
Speaker 1: up his mind that he's going to close and take
Speaker 1: away the short route, which frees up Mike on the
Speaker 1: flag route, the corner route, and Skyler is rolling that
Speaker 1: way and has time and plenty of armed talent to
Speaker 1: get it there, but he took tyreek. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: blame you for throwing the ball trick ever, but I
Speaker 1: think Kisiki had about fifty more yards on that play.
Speaker 1: And you know that's the point of these evaluations, right,
Speaker 1: we talked about every single play. On the next one,
Speaker 1: his scramble first down, great play, great job getting the
Speaker 1: first down, moving the chains, and again we're not gonna
Speaker 1: complain about success, but we're talking about what we see, right,
Speaker 1: and he had the right look, the right leverage, the
Speaker 1: right coverage for a big chunk once again to Mike
Speaker 1: Gasicky where he hits the top of the drop, hitches
Speaker 1: up and if he lets it RiPP in timing and rhythm,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a huge play. But that's not the
Speaker 1: same level of trust, you know, for as you might
Speaker 1: have from a third year quarterback and leap processor that
Speaker 1: you would have in a rookie. We make a play
Speaker 1: either way. It's great. But man, watching these tapes last
Speaker 1: three weeks just continues to really make me appreciate. Number one.
Speaker 1: The throw to Mike on the first possession, you know,
Speaker 1: Gassicky heavily involved, was absolutely absurd, a real positive sign
Speaker 1: of growth even within the progression, or that I should
Speaker 1: say within within that same possession, learning from a previous
Speaker 1: look on the scrambled play, I thought he had Gassicky
Speaker 1: but as shoot it for the throw, and then he
Speaker 1: comes right back with a similar look and Zing rips
Speaker 1: that thing right in there, this time on time, in
Speaker 1: rhythm and off the back foot, or I should say
Speaker 1: off off that first hitch up. And then you know
Speaker 1: I mentioned the design of the thirty yard hit to waddle.
Speaker 1: Really nice throw right there to put some air under
Speaker 1: it and get Jalen clear of any potential hit or
Speaker 1: contact from that underneath the fend or so there's you know,
Speaker 1: it's going back and forth. Some good. Some things you
Speaker 1: can say, hey, here's where we can get better. That's
Speaker 1: every game for every player. But you know with a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback especially, you point those things out. There was
Speaker 1: a play on a hook up route to Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: just a little bit late. Just get the ball out there,
Speaker 1: you know, one hitch earlier, and you can maximize the
Speaker 1: yak that you get, which we saw in this game. Again,
Speaker 1: there was another play later, like some of these plays
Speaker 1: were called back on penalties. Right with the scramble slashed
Speaker 1: off script throw to River Cracraft was his best of
Speaker 1: the day on the move trail defender on that downfield hip,
Speaker 1: the underneath hip of Craik Craft and he just throws
Speaker 1: it right on stride upfield to create craft exceptional throw,
Speaker 1: especially after we're standing a hit in the pocket after
Speaker 1: everything was covered up with an immediate pressure right in
Speaker 1: his face. The big game to waddle right before or
Speaker 1: on the that same drive, the flag barrage drive. Again,
Speaker 1: we're just a moticum late, a step late because Wattle
Speaker 1: has to stop on the ball with the middle of
Speaker 1: the field open. Their safeties were not in the middle
Speaker 1: of the field. He could have caught this thing on time.
Speaker 1: And I think you know, the offensive pass interference call
Speaker 1: on Ingold, for instance, is because we hitched up one
Speaker 1: too many times where you know, Tyreek catches what looks
Speaker 1: like a flare route completely flat footed, standing still and
Speaker 1: on both of these things just a little bit sooner
Speaker 1: anticipation can make all the difference in the world. Again,
Speaker 1: something to learn to learn off of from his first start.
Speaker 1: The next drive, we take a deep shot the Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill with two defenders in the area at second down
Speaker 1: and eight. It's off coverage, a full sprint vertical from
Speaker 1: the cornerback on this play and running it right into
Speaker 1: a safety who shaded to that side of the field
Speaker 1: as well. So two guys capped over the top and
Speaker 1: we let it rip. Like you can't waste those downs
Speaker 1: because you had a great pocket and options underneath. Don't
Speaker 1: just throw it just to throw it. We did on
Speaker 1: that play. There were a couple of plays that just
Speaker 1: could have been a little bit quicker, But man, I
Speaker 1: think you saw some really good potential there to develop
Speaker 1: out of Skylar Thompson. Some of the traits that he's
Speaker 1: putting on tape makes it a little bit mind blowing
Speaker 1: to think that he was on the board for you
Speaker 1: there in the seventh round. How about Teddy Bridgewater thought
Speaker 1: his best throw perhaps was the first one, an absolute
Speaker 1: missile into a tight window to Mike Gasicki on that
Speaker 1: little rounded slant route that he runs down the seam
Speaker 1: just beyond the linebacker, right before the safety who can't
Speaker 1: close on it. Because of that, you see Teddy's hands
Speaker 1: separate before Mike clears the curl defender. We love that anticipation.
Speaker 1: Here on the Drivetime podcast. The play at the two
Speaker 1: minute warning, it's seven to three first and ten at
Speaker 1: the plus thirty four yard line. Right, you're you're in
Speaker 1: field goal range. Right, Tyreeke and Jalen run a switch
Speaker 1: release to the wide side of the field the field
Speaker 1: and Chase Edmonds runs a swing route against an Outflakes
Speaker 1: linebacker chases three steps outside the HASH and the man
Speaker 1: covering him is not just ten yards downfield and on
Speaker 1: the far HASH on the other side of the field,
Speaker 1: so at least ten yards of depth and at least
Speaker 1: ten yards of width, and Waddle is almost coming out
Speaker 1: of his break ten yards down the field with again
Speaker 1: middle of the field open, but Tyreek is double covered
Speaker 1: with a cornerback literally all over him. He's touching him.
Speaker 1: There's no separation. Ball sales high out of bound, and
Speaker 1: then you go to the end zone angle. Jordan Hicks,
Speaker 1: the linebacker, literally points out Chase and says get over there,
Speaker 1: like right as Teddy pulls the ball back from play action.
Speaker 1: He's yelling get out there. Number two is wide open.
Speaker 1: You see Eric Kendricks react super late, killer miss right there.
Speaker 1: We then go run for no gain incomplete pass missfield goal. Brutal,
Speaker 1: absolutely brutal. Such a frustrating tape to watch. Not to
Speaker 1: mention there was a clear lane for him to step
Speaker 1: up into and throw a you know what was a
Speaker 1: third down check down route, but we expedite the process
Speaker 1: to get that throat to the back who hasn't even
Speaker 1: made his break yet out of the out of the route.
Speaker 1: So frustrating sequence there. In the third quarter, there were
Speaker 1: two balls behind Jitaln Waddle. The first one Patrick Peterson
Speaker 1: nearly jumps it. The next one is broken up with
Speaker 1: some room to run after. I like the way he
Speaker 1: bounced back after that was really impressive. But man, there
Speaker 1: was a chance to hit Waddle on a big play there.
Speaker 1: The play that he does make to Tyreek on the
Speaker 1: twenty eight yard catch and run is so beautiful. He
Speaker 1: sidesteps immediate pressure, then throws across his body to an
Speaker 1: all alone Tyreek hill. And then perhaps the best throw
Speaker 1: I thought was the one on the Wattle fumble where
Speaker 1: he drops the armslet and just slot and just flips
Speaker 1: it out there, opposed to a longer wind up because
Speaker 1: there's immediate pressure. Has to get it out quick. He does,
Speaker 1: puts it right on the money for Wattle. Let's move
Speaker 1: on to the receivers now, Tyreek hill Man, he is
Speaker 1: just a solution to so many issues. You might have
Speaker 1: third and ten short of the midfield stripe, two straight
Speaker 1: immediate pressures forced Teddy to throw the football away and
Speaker 1: then Tyreek gets single coverage, runs the corner five yards
Speaker 1: beyond the sticks before he throttles down and the ball
Speaker 1: is right there in time for a big conversion and
Speaker 1: an extra seven yards after the catch. He did that
Speaker 1: all day long. He makes a tough catch later on
Speaker 1: going to the ground where he has solid five or
Speaker 1: six yards of separation and the ball is impacted by
Speaker 1: Teddy getting hit on the play. But I just always
Speaker 1: appreciate a receiver securing those catches off the ground. That's
Speaker 1: not easy to do at all. I sure do love
Speaker 1: that little gatherer step that he does when working back
Speaker 1: to the quarterback where he kind of catches it and
Speaker 1: then you know, puts the ball away and takes a
Speaker 1: jump step backwards to create more oparation. On the twenty
Speaker 1: eight yard play twenty of it's after the catch because
Speaker 1: he does that hop step and the corner falls off
Speaker 1: to the wrong side. Tyrek sees it and just goes
Speaker 1: zero to sixty, eating up yardage in the blink of
Speaker 1: an eye. On the fourth and five man, he's getting press.
Speaker 1: The safety is bracketing him double coverage. He beats the
Speaker 1: press with his release and he wins it so quickly
Speaker 1: and so obviously that the corner then takes off says,
Speaker 1: I have to get deep because Tyreek can run by
Speaker 1: all of us. And then Tyreek hits the brakes. It's
Speaker 1: five yards of separation coming back to the quarterback, and
Speaker 1: Teddy cannot ask for an easier throw, and he just
Speaker 1: keeps coming back to the quarterback. Big time stuff there
Speaker 1: from your top dog receiver. How about Waddle. His understanding
Speaker 1: of landmarks and steps and timing is such high level.
Speaker 1: The way he stems and sets up his route at
Speaker 1: the top of the route is very nuanced. The ball
Speaker 1: off of his shoulder that gets picked off, you see
Speaker 1: him peek at the defense just before he secured the catch,
Speaker 1: and a ricochets in the worst way possible, So a
Speaker 1: mistake there for waddle. But on the one where the
Speaker 1: ball is a bit behind and broken up I referred
Speaker 1: to it earlier second and ten, middle third quarter. He's
Speaker 1: the point in trips, the highest man up on the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and he wants to run a crossing
Speaker 1: route off the safety who's getting depth and what looks
Speaker 1: to me like Cover one, which is your single high
Speaker 1: safety man coverage underneath. Not only does he stay on
Speaker 1: the stem to push that safety deeper, he takes one
Speaker 1: last step inside at the top of the stem that
Speaker 1: widens Peterson to create that separation. Once he breaks the
Speaker 1: route off of the top, the balls out on time,
Speaker 1: but it's on the back shoulder and broken up. At
Speaker 1: the time of the breakup. Jalen is at the hash
Speaker 1: at the thirty yard line. The safety is between the
Speaker 1: hash marks, so trailing behind the play at the thirty six.
Speaker 1: There's one more corner on the other side of the
Speaker 1: field with sure field right there for a block, and
Speaker 1: so if Jalen can make the safety miss in open space,
Speaker 1: it might be an eighty eight yard touchdown. And he
Speaker 1: set it up all with that little nuance in his
Speaker 1: route running It's something we talked about this offseason with
Speaker 1: Tyreek and how he does that. To me, it says
Speaker 1: a lot about Jalen to really incorporate those little details
Speaker 1: into his game, because clearly he's getting that from Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill and he's putting it into his game. What do
Speaker 1: you use your resources then? Man? He had a touchdown
Speaker 1: later in the game to first play after the vikings
Speaker 1: made at sixteen to three. He runs to the flag
Speaker 1: on the opposite side of the field. He's in the
Speaker 1: short side of the field and he runs across the
Speaker 1: entire thing. There's the middle of the field safety and
Speaker 1: the corner to that side jumps Tyreek Hills dig route
Speaker 1: that the ball eventually goes to for a first down,
Speaker 1: by the way, So that's good. But Waddle was all
Speaker 1: alone with nothing but green grass in front of him.
Speaker 1: And speaking of man the fumble, it's a great play
Speaker 1: by Harrison Smith, but Jalen was out of that tackle.
Speaker 1: He just didn't secure the ball. You see him try
Speaker 1: to resecure the ball and that's when he goes down.
Speaker 1: But he had the angle of the sideline kind of
Speaker 1: like Kenyan Drake and the Mighty Miracle Man. That one
Speaker 1: hurt running backs for he most are the first carry
Speaker 1: of the game, makes an unblocked man miss in the backfield,
Speaker 1: turns it right into a three yard game. What an
Speaker 1: impressive runner he is. I sure liked his patient on
Speaker 1: that patience on that sixteen yard run on the toss
Speaker 1: left where Ingold comes in motion and wipes out the
Speaker 1: man the Hunter Long originally engages with, and then Hunter
Speaker 1: climbs and gets the dB out of the play. Liam
Speaker 1: Eikenberg stays on his block the entire time. Greg Little
Speaker 1: walls off the mic linebacker and the safety comes down
Speaker 1: and makes the play like that's perfect. You're just you know,
Speaker 1: your first contact is the safety twenty yards away. That's
Speaker 1: his job to make that tackle. But springing your back
Speaker 1: untouched to that post shape post safety, that's chef's kiss
Speaker 1: man onto the offensive line. Obviously, not the best day
Speaker 1: I thought Connor Williams and Rob Hunt, who have had
Speaker 1: really good seasons, just not not their best days. Like
Speaker 1: high bars for both those guys, But I didn't think
Speaker 1: either of them stayed on blocks the way we've gotten
Speaker 1: used to through the first five games. That ineligible man
Speaker 1: down field flag on Connor Ah, that was rough. I'm
Speaker 1: not really sure what happened on that play and against
Speaker 1: same with Rob didn't sustain in blocks like we're used to.
Speaker 1: Got fool a couple of times from the Vikings Rush games,
Speaker 1: including the hit that got Skyler knocked out of the
Speaker 1: game on Leah Meikenberg, a couple of times where he's
Speaker 1: kind of slow to come off the chip and double
Speaker 1: and gets beat inside by a fitting backer. The first
Speaker 1: sack of the game is a late reaction to a
Speaker 1: twist once the man's all the way by him for
Speaker 1: a free run of the quarterback knocked out a field
Speaker 1: goal range. The hold on the Craycraft play just an
Speaker 1: absolute killer. The pressure is the reason Scholar is able
Speaker 1: to kind of create that way, but getting walked back
Speaker 1: right off the jump causes that hold because he was
Speaker 1: retreating from the word go Greg Little. There was just
Speaker 1: a lot of oversets inside access beat around the post
Speaker 1: bull rushes. Just not his best tape either, obviously. I
Speaker 1: thought Brandon Shell played really well. The way he kind
Speaker 1: of shortens the runway the same type of way that
Speaker 1: Tehron Armstead does is impressive. He did really well to
Speaker 1: give himself all kinds of room to work in those
Speaker 1: one on one situations, which we asked him to do
Speaker 1: quite a bit of that, and he won for the
Speaker 1: most part. On the deep shot that we tried to
Speaker 1: tyreek to start the third drive of the game, the
Speaker 1: Vikings have a three technique who was outside of Rob
Speaker 1: Hunt outside shoulder at right guard, and a wide nine,
Speaker 1: a two point stance rusher with Gassicki in the extra gap.
Speaker 1: So he's really got no clear you know, prestap information
Speaker 1: tell him where his block is. So Mike chips the
Speaker 1: wide nine. So what Shell does is squeezes that outside
Speaker 1: rush of that defensive tackle to help Rob Hunt, but
Speaker 1: he puts himself in position to get depth with his
Speaker 1: secondary drop step once Gasicki releases the chip, which he does,
Speaker 1: and then Shell gets to that final landmark and just
Speaker 1: picks up to Darius Smith very cleanly, very very nice,
Speaker 1: good eyes, good feet. It all works in tandem. I'm
Speaker 1: impressed by brand Schell. And then Teddy's very first drive
Speaker 1: of the game, he washes down the four eye that
Speaker 1: inside shoulder, you know, the player that lines up off
Speaker 1: the tackles inside shoulder on a reach block where he
Speaker 1: crossed his face and takes him right out of the play. Again.
Speaker 1: Run game pass game. Very impressed by brand show Mike
Speaker 1: Asicky loved the way he widened the zones on those
Speaker 1: quick slants jab step outside, cross face and stay on
Speaker 1: track through contact. Uh to reach out and pluck the
Speaker 1: football off your frame. Good stuff from Mike there. Also
Speaker 1: loved the way he covered up on the touchdown catch,
Speaker 1: get the ball, put it away, didn't allow the defense
Speaker 1: a chance to make a breakup on it. Uh. Rough
Speaker 1: game for the other tight ends in the block game.
Speaker 1: I thought, that's the offense. Let's take our first break
Speaker 1: and come back into the defense. That's next. On the
Speaker 1: Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you
Speaker 1: by Auto Nation. Second segment on a long Tuesday podcast,
Speaker 1: picking it back up with the defensive All twenty two review,
Speaker 1: and we start upfront with Emmanuel Ogba. On the very
Speaker 1: first third down of the game, Kirk Cousins has Justin
Speaker 1: Jefferson wide open at the sticks, but the ball is
Speaker 1: high and the reason og Ball walks his man right
Speaker 1: into cousins lap and he has to get the ball
Speaker 1: over that big paw right in his face, and he
Speaker 1: cannot do it. So that's a big impact right there,
Speaker 1: big reason why pressures are very important and not just
Speaker 1: sex guys. He made another super impressive play set in
Speaker 1: the edge where he gets off the block after getting
Speaker 1: outside and then coming back inside under the block to
Speaker 1: cut Dalvin Cook down for a three yard game. That's
Speaker 1: the play right after Jalen Reagor's big punt return. Andrew
Speaker 1: Van Ginkl discards tight ends and the run game as
Speaker 1: well as anybody have ever seen, Like you can set
Speaker 1: your watch to it, and you can also say like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to win those, but he always does. He
Speaker 1: shuts down their second play of the game doing this.
Speaker 1: Then the second down on the next series gets off
Speaker 1: a block from IRV Smith forces Cook to bubble to
Speaker 1: avoid the tackle for loss, and that gives Baker enough
Speaker 1: time to scrape right over the top and usher Cook
Speaker 1: out of bounds for a gain of one. Trey Flowers
Speaker 1: has had some good reps. I hope he gets back
Speaker 1: healthy because he damn near gets himself a safety on
Speaker 1: a stunt with Jalen Phillips. Which, by the way, how
Speaker 1: about the front on that play you talk about multiplicity,
Speaker 1: It was the Cousins throwaway in the end zone, Flowers
Speaker 1: over the nose, Baker mugged up in the B gap,
Speaker 1: which is tackled between tackle and guard. Phillips is the
Speaker 1: two eye, which is on the inside shoulder of one
Speaker 1: of your offensive guards, and then Ogba and Ingram are
Speaker 1: off the edges. It's a lot of pass brush talent
Speaker 1: on third and long. You get your tackles out of
Speaker 1: the game. You bring all your defensive ends and edge
Speaker 1: outside linebackers. Both of the guys win Flowers and Phillips,
Speaker 1: and I have no idea how Cousins got that ball away.
Speaker 1: It saved him two points because Miami won that play
Speaker 1: big time. Christian Wilkins, the two plays he made after
Speaker 1: the failed fake punt doesn't just forced Justin Jefferson to
Speaker 1: bubble on the jet sweep, which is the number one
Speaker 1: key when you can get up field like that, He
Speaker 1: gets him down for a six yard loss. The next
Speaker 1: play jab step right crossover left to get the left
Speaker 1: guard out over his skis, swims in, puts him on
Speaker 1: the ground, and greets Dalvin Cook right in the gap
Speaker 1: for another TfL And on that play, Phillips took his
Speaker 1: man right into the backfield, which created way more space
Speaker 1: for Wilkins to operate with Zach seeler Damn Near changed
Speaker 1: the game with an exceptional play on a Viking screen
Speaker 1: pass where he fights through a block and puts a
Speaker 1: big paw on the football to jar loose Ah so
Speaker 1: close Ray Kwon Davis. That play was hurried by Davis
Speaker 1: on that screen when he just chucked his man right
Speaker 1: out of the club and got an immediate pressure on
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, which didn't allow the Vikings to set up
Speaker 1: the screen they were looking for their properly, as no
Speaker 1: one can get out to their blocks. Then the very
Speaker 1: next play he gets his sack where his initial punch
Speaker 1: sends the right guard tumbling and Davis just continues running
Speaker 1: right through him for a sack. He had himself a
Speaker 1: nice game as well. The entire Dolphins defense played well.
Speaker 1: Man Landon Roberts gets pushed back on a climb from
Speaker 1: the tight end to clog up Cook's gap his track.
Speaker 1: They're trying to get that second level block, and he
Speaker 1: just greets him and takes him backwards. The very next
Speaker 1: play he spies Kirk Cousins and when Cousins hitches up,
Speaker 1: Roberts closes and wham got him for the sack. He
Speaker 1: later came free on the a gap for another sack
Speaker 1: on Kirk Cousins as well, So a nice day for
Speaker 1: Landon Roberts. Jalen Phillips had a monster day in this game.
Speaker 1: On the first sack, it's one of the most absurd
Speaker 1: reps I've seen. He gets off the initial chip attempt
Speaker 1: of one tight end, then here comes another tight end
Speaker 1: and split flow action and Phillips just steam rolls him
Speaker 1: like remember the episode of Malcolm in the Middle where
Speaker 1: Hal gets the steam roller and runs a bunch of
Speaker 1: things over. It looked like that, like an actual steam roller.
Speaker 1: Then he stops on a dime, changes directions and gets
Speaker 1: Cousins for the back or from the back. I should say,
Speaker 1: all of his traits that we love we're on display.
Speaker 1: On that single rep. He walks the left tackle right
Speaker 1: into cousins lap on the next play, who then has
Speaker 1: to take a check down on third and long later
Speaker 1: in the game, he condensed his inside once again in
Speaker 1: and runs the loop around the pick by Christian and
Speaker 1: man again the traits the way he turns the corner
Speaker 1: and scrapes off that pick from Wilkins. The burst through
Speaker 1: the change of direction is so super rare. This guy
Speaker 1: playing multiple positions like he's getting the job done. Then
Speaker 1: Jim Phillips is playing awesome football right now. Xaviing Howard
Speaker 1: the past breakup on Minnesota's third drive, where he's covering
Speaker 1: Adam Thieland is absolutely textbook. First, he and Needham communicate
Speaker 1: their man coverage assignments as the short motion to stack,
Speaker 1: which gives you two receivers on top of each other.
Speaker 1: Kind of can confuse your defensive coverage that way, but
Speaker 1: not when they communicate it well. Felands tries to create
Speaker 1: space on a curl, but X not only walls off
Speaker 1: the potential vertical throw, he works back down the stand
Speaker 1: while doing that. For the past breakup, that is vintage X.
Speaker 1: You take away the route with the ability to play
Speaker 1: the ball on the complete opposite of that route. It's
Speaker 1: doing two jobs at once. X does that so many times.
Speaker 1: He did it here, so very good. On the very
Speaker 1: next play, he zone turns, which is where you show man.
Speaker 1: Then you put your butt to the sideline, get eyes
Speaker 1: in the quarterback and process from there. Passes off receiver,
Speaker 1: picks up the flat route and knocks him out of
Speaker 1: bounce for a two yard game. He was on fire
Speaker 1: in this game. I thought he Nick need him. Key
Speaker 1: on crossing no ignogamy as well. We're all playing their
Speaker 1: best games of the year. Nobody was open and that
Speaker 1: was pretty evident with how many times Cousins had to
Speaker 1: hitch up, pump, double clutch, all that stuff. He did.
Speaker 1: On the Vikings first touchdown drive, get caught guessing on
Speaker 1: a Jefferson bluffed drag route where he then goes back
Speaker 1: out to the perimeter and x working through a pick,
Speaker 1: just runs inside to nobody and Jefferson's all alone for
Speaker 1: a coverage bust. He also kind of got beat on
Speaker 1: the theland touchdown, but you asked so much of a
Speaker 1: cornerback in this system, especially one of xaviing Howard's caliber.
Speaker 1: Those players are gonna happen to negatives out of the
Speaker 1: whole game. Well three with the pick play from Jeffersons
Speaker 1: as well, out of you know, sixty snaps will take
Speaker 1: it all day long. Key on Crossing. That hand he
Speaker 1: had in there for the pass breakup on the Vikings
Speaker 1: third drive was awesome where he fights through some traffic
Speaker 1: from trips and drives on the inbreak to get his
Speaker 1: hand up in there. The complete lack of fear that
Speaker 1: he shows as well, sticking his face in there against
Speaker 1: the run. It's just awesome We've we've seen in his
Speaker 1: career so far that he can play the run the
Speaker 1: screen game very well. He comes in there and nails
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook after a very short pickup on their first
Speaker 1: touchdown drive in that first half. A good play from
Speaker 1: Crossing there. Shame to see him go out with injury
Speaker 1: as well. Brandon Jones again, that first crossing play where
Speaker 1: he gets the past break up. The hit that Jones
Speaker 1: put on Osborne on that play is also Chef's kiss.
Speaker 1: Just such good team defense on so many plays in
Speaker 1: this game from Miami. He was in in good shape
Speaker 1: and coverage against tight ends all day was Brandon Jones
Speaker 1: had a really nice tackle after our first touchdown drive
Speaker 1: of the game in that fourth quarter to get the
Speaker 1: tight end to the ground. For a minimal game, you
Speaker 1: can use the momentum of the offense scoring touchdown get
Speaker 1: a quick stop on first down. Just really consistent tackling
Speaker 1: throughout the course of this game. Being in good spots
Speaker 1: and finishing plays I thought was the bigges story for
Speaker 1: this defense. Nick Needa Man, he was playing so well.
Speaker 1: I feel so much for him on that injury. Get
Speaker 1: well soon, Nick, I know you'll come back even stronger
Speaker 1: than before. Noah Bnogay the first play where he draws
Speaker 1: defensive past interference man, he was in great shape right there,
Speaker 1: panicked a little bit and got hit with the flag,
Speaker 1: But the way he responded the rest of the game
Speaker 1: I thought was really awesome to see for the young corner.
Speaker 1: His first pass breakup, he just won the route at
Speaker 1: every stage, one on one versus Adam feeling good jam
Speaker 1: releases at five yards, runs out of the break, has
Speaker 1: hands on the ball, but theeling breaks it up on
Speaker 1: the backside. The very next play he blankets stealing again
Speaker 1: for no target. Then they come back to him on
Speaker 1: another vertical shot on the very next series and he's
Speaker 1: in phase and just erases any chance dealing has to
Speaker 1: make a play by pinning him to the sideline. And
Speaker 1: you know it looked like he was the receiver on
Speaker 1: the play. So another nice day here, or I should
Speaker 1: say a nice day here for Noah Ignogady. Justin Bethel
Speaker 1: the play on third and short, the throw where he
Speaker 1: came and got feeling short of the sticks. What a
Speaker 1: nice read good job to pull the trigger and come
Speaker 1: out of that break, come up and make a play.
Speaker 1: I just thought the defense played really really well in
Speaker 1: this game. If they can keep that rolling, I like
Speaker 1: our chances to be in a lot of football games
Speaker 1: this year. It was really the Dalvin Cook run and
Speaker 1: the big play to jeff for Sin and we got
Speaker 1: caught on the pick and missed a couple of tackles
Speaker 1: on the Cook run. But aside from that, man the
Speaker 1: quick change is tough on the Cook run and the
Speaker 1: big player Jefferson, But aside from that, it was it
Speaker 1: was really good all day for the Dolphins defense. Let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and take our second break and come back
Speaker 1: on the other side and do the numbers, the snap counts.
Speaker 1: And here from head coach Mike McDaniel and his Monday
Speaker 1: news conference, that's next Drift Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,
Speaker 1: brought to you by Auto Nation. We pick it back
Speaker 1: up here in segment three with Pro Football Focus and
Speaker 1: next Gen staff numbers looking at this Dolphins and Vikings
Speaker 1: sixteen defeat. Here in week number six, for the quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: it was a day under Durest with six sacks, nineteen hits,
Speaker 1: and thirty two pressures surrendered on fifty five dropbacks. Dolphins
Speaker 1: qbs were ten of sixteen for a hundred forty one
Speaker 1: yards under pressure. It's not bad compared to twenty of
Speaker 1: thirty one with two hundred and seventy seven yards and
Speaker 1: kept clean. That's really good. From Pro Football Focus, Bridgewater
Speaker 1: on twenty plus yard throws was two of four for
Speaker 1: forty four yards and the ten to nineteen yard range,
Speaker 1: he was nine for thirteen with a buck thirty five,
Speaker 1: a touchdown and two picks. He had two point eight
Speaker 1: eight seconds average time to throw two was at like
Speaker 1: two point five this year, up from two point three
Speaker 1: last year, so these are much longer numbers than one
Speaker 1: to a plays, which I don't know. It's kind of
Speaker 1: indicative of how he plays, but also how the scheme
Speaker 1: gives you just more time back there uh nine point
Speaker 1: four average depth of target and one drop, which of
Speaker 1: course led to the pick. Skylar Thompson had two throws
Speaker 1: of twenty plus yards. He completed one of them for
Speaker 1: thirty yards. He was two for two on the intermediate
Speaker 1: throws in that ten to nineteen yard range for thirty
Speaker 1: six yards. His time to throw on average was two
Speaker 1: point six seven, so you know, two tenths of a
Speaker 1: second quicker, which is a lot of time in this league.
Speaker 1: Ten point six average depth of target to drop passes,
Speaker 1: but that average depth of target man these This team
Speaker 1: attacks vertically, creates space down the field. Pressures allowed. Its
Speaker 1: nine for Greg Little was a rough tape. We know that.
Speaker 1: Leah Meickenberg three pressures, Connor Williams one, Robert Hunt three,
Speaker 1: and Brandon Shell too. From Pro Football Focus where he
Speaker 1: most dit forced three miss tackles on his fourteen carries.
Speaker 1: It's good for two point to nine average yards after contact.
Speaker 1: Tyreek had a hundred seventy seven yards on fifteen targets
Speaker 1: with a catch rate. What It's eleven point eight yards
Speaker 1: per target. It's four point oh two yards per route ran.
Speaker 1: So eight yards per targets good. Two yards per rout
Speaker 1: rans good. He's four yards over the first mark, double
Speaker 1: the second mark. An absurd day. Did you guys see
Speaker 1: the amount of separation that he created on that fourth
Speaker 1: and five play where he's bracketed. It's crazy. He also
Speaker 1: forced three miss tackles and piled up sixty seven yards
Speaker 1: of rack. That's five point six average yack yards at
Speaker 1: per catch. He leads the NFL with seven d one
Speaker 1: receiving yards and has the most receiving yards and franchise
Speaker 1: history through the first six games ever, Jalen Waddle caught
Speaker 1: six of ten for a buck twenty nine. That's twelve
Speaker 1: point nine yards per target, even higher than Tyreeks. It's
Speaker 1: two point six three yards per route ran. He had
Speaker 1: sixty eight rack yards on one forced miss tackle. It's
Speaker 1: an average of eleven point three YAK yards per catch.
Speaker 1: He is fifth among all receivers and YAK over expected
Speaker 1: that next gen stat. He's fifth in the NFL and
Speaker 1: receiving with five hundred and thirty three yards. Mike Kasicki
Speaker 1: much improved gritty to go along with six grabs on
Speaker 1: seven targets for sixty nine yards nice that's nine point
Speaker 1: nine yards per target. On defense, Jalen Phillips leaves away
Speaker 1: with six pressures. Roberts, Wilkins, Ingram and Davis all have
Speaker 1: two apiece. Seiler, og Bob Baker and Flowers all had
Speaker 1: one pressure. Run stops Seiler and Jones Brandon Jones had
Speaker 1: three each. Phillips, Wilkins, Roberts, and Ogba had two apiece,
Speaker 1: and seven players had one. The coverage snaps and yardage
Speaker 1: allowed x and coverage on thirty five snaps one ten
Speaker 1: yards allowed, forty seven of that on the one play obviously,
Speaker 1: but again Washington tape x has asked so much in
Speaker 1: this defense. Holland did not get targeted thirty four coverage snaps,
Speaker 1: no yards allowed. Out Brandon Jones twenty seven coverage snaps,
Speaker 1: just eight yards allowed on two targets. Again, he played
Speaker 1: really well in this game. Noah aben Agny nineteen coverage snaps,
Speaker 1: no yards allowed. Oh for two on targets, one defensive
Speaker 1: pass interference, two pass breakups. Pretty good day for no
Speaker 1: aben Ageny, Keion crossing end coverage on eleven snaps, one
Speaker 1: yard allowed. Justin Bethel eleven coverage snaps, no yards allowed,
Speaker 1: and Nick Needon played coverage on nine snaps allowed eighteen yards.
Speaker 1: Again playing so well, but get well soon, man, So
Speaker 1: you go. Those are your stats. Just go ahead and
Speaker 1: finish up with snap counts and head coach Mike McDaniel presser.
Speaker 1: On the offensive line, we went wire to wire without
Speaker 1: the first time this year, seventy eight snaps for all
Speaker 1: five of the offensive lineman. Waddle played sixty two snaps
Speaker 1: the Tyreeks sixty That's good. For seventy nine and seventy
Speaker 1: seven percent of the workload. Pretty good number there when
Speaker 1: you have the depth to kind of work guys in
Speaker 1: to keep those guys fresh and keep them at their
Speaker 1: most dangerous. Teddy played fifty four snaps compared to twenty
Speaker 1: four for Skylar Thompson. Sherfield was third and receiver reps
Speaker 1: at fifty two. It's a pretty big development. The river
Speaker 1: cracrafts sevent teens, Cedric Wilson fifteen, and then at tight
Speaker 1: end Gaziki leads away with fifty snaps. That's sixty of
Speaker 1: the workload. Hunter Long played twenty one snaps and Tanner
Speaker 1: Conner eight and then at running back where he most
Speaker 1: hurt forty eight snaps to Chase Edmonds is thirty one.
Speaker 1: That's a snap workload, which means obviously a two percent
Speaker 1: of that. They're both out there together and alec Ingold
Speaker 1: played one third of the snaps with twenty six snaps
Speaker 1: played On defense. Javon Holland, Jerome Baker and Xabing Howard
Speaker 1: did not leave the field. They played all fifty two snaps.
Speaker 1: Christian Wilkins is absolutely insane forty nine snaps percent of
Speaker 1: the workload and twelve special team snaps. He's an absolute machine.
Speaker 1: Brandon Jones played forty eight just left the field for
Speaker 1: four snaps out there. Ray Kuan Davis is conditioning pretty good.
Speaker 1: Forty snaps for him. Zach Seeler thirty eight snaps. Jalen
Speaker 1: Phillips thirty eight snaps, Emmanuel Ogba thirty six snaps. Elandon
Speaker 1: Roberts was your second highest snaptaker a linebacker with seventy.
Speaker 1: With a thirty nine, I should say that's seventy of
Speaker 1: the workload. Mill of An Ingram played twenty four snaps.
Speaker 1: A bit of a departure from the last couple of games.
Speaker 1: Andrew Van Ginkle played twenty snaps. There you go. He
Speaker 1: gets an increased workload there and made the most of it.
Speaker 1: I thought it, but now Gonna played thirty one snaps
Speaker 1: at corner That was the third highest snaptaker. Check that
Speaker 1: second highest snaptaker at cornerback. Needham played thirteen cross and twelve,
Speaker 1: Bethel thirteen as well. Eric Row had eleven. Tindall played
Speaker 1: two snaps, Duke Riley one snap, and Trey Flowers the
Speaker 1: one snap he had was impactful, but that was it
Speaker 1: for him. So there you go. There's your snap counts.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and finish up the podcast here with
Speaker 1: head coach Mike McDaniel, who gave us all kinds of
Speaker 1: updates on a very banged up Dolphins team. The plan
Speaker 1: is to have to enter the week as the starting quarterback,
Speaker 1: so it sounds like we're gonna have two a back
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Byron Jones. No
Speaker 1: timetable yet. He will not return to practice this week,
Speaker 1: so we'll wait and see. On number twenty four, we
Speaker 1: will see about Toron Armstead, who coach said the time
Speaker 1: off was very beneficial for him and it will be
Speaker 1: day by day for him. Same deal with Austin Jackson
Speaker 1: come back from that high ankle sprain. Seene how well
Speaker 1: he can get back out there and ready to go
Speaker 1: with his second week of practice now in that twenty
Speaker 1: one day activation window, Nick need, I'm gonna go on
Speaker 1: I R. Skyler Thompson's thumb has him day to day,
Speaker 1: which coach says is kind of a bucket that our
Speaker 1: entire team seems to be in in that day to
Speaker 1: day plan. Let's go ahead and play a couple of
Speaker 1: sound bites here from head coach Mike McDaniel, starting here
Speaker 1: with what twos return means of the football team. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I think, uh, you know, he's he's a captain.
Speaker 1: He's a captain for the reason for a reason, um
Speaker 1: and as of I told you guys um from the onset,
Speaker 1: I think he's a very very good player at that position.
Speaker 1: So um, very very good players. They they definitely give people,
Speaker 1: um a boost. I'm not because of what other people aren't,
Speaker 1: but more just because he is who he is. So um.
Speaker 1: You know, he's uh strong fabric of this team and
Speaker 1: that's that's exciting. UM. When when you when you get
Speaker 1: to go play with with one of your brothers, which
Speaker 1: is why the team will will be excited and it
Speaker 1: will be exciting. We are all very excited about that. Next,
Speaker 1: coach was asked about if you will request to a
Speaker 1: two kind of change his play style, about some of
Speaker 1: the hits that he's taken in the pocket. Back there,
Speaker 1: here's coach talking about the approach to live to fight
Speaker 1: another down for your QB one talk to him, Um,
Speaker 1: you know a lot sooner than this week, you know, um,
Speaker 1: when we were when you'd come by the office and
Speaker 1: we just kind of talked about, you know, how how
Speaker 1: things have h how things have kind of gone you
Speaker 1: know this this is there's risks in this game. Um,
Speaker 1: and you've got to be able to control the controllables.
Speaker 1: One thing for him is, uh is you love his
Speaker 1: competitive nature. Okay, but there is a time um uh
Speaker 1: in a play where you have to kind of concede UM.
Speaker 1: And that's where he's, uh, where he's kind of been
Speaker 1: focusing on because it's something that's not natural to him.
Speaker 1: He he wants to break every tackle and and um.
Speaker 1: And he he doesn't like when players don't work well
Speaker 1: sometimes they won't, so he that's something that um, he's
Speaker 1: mindful of. UM. And I think that that uh, that's
Speaker 1: a consistency of you know, all the really great quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that you think of, you know, the guys that you
Speaker 1: look up to, the guys that kind of set forth
Speaker 1: the example of how to play the position. Um. They
Speaker 1: do find ways to be available. And part of that
Speaker 1: is that concession. Um. But that that is a a
Speaker 1: all things consider that's probably you know, it's a good
Speaker 1: good problem to have in terms of a competitor. You
Speaker 1: just need to be able to understand your your importance
Speaker 1: to the team and and how sometimes the best play
Speaker 1: you can make is a throwaway. Really good stuff there
Speaker 1: from Coach will finish up with this quote about Jalen Waddle,
Speaker 1: and I asked the question because I was curious to
Speaker 1: hear how Coach felt about this, because as a fan,
Speaker 1: you know, I love the camaraderie and the brotherhood of
Speaker 1: the NFL, and you know, you go get your jersey swap,
Speaker 1: you talk to the next college teammate or your buddy
Speaker 1: after the game. But I also kind of like it
Speaker 1: when I see someone like Jalen Waddle very upset about
Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, the ball slipped out of
Speaker 1: his hand there at the end of the game and
Speaker 1: it was a costly turnover and he was upset about it.
Speaker 1: And so I asked, Coach, does it kind of does
Speaker 1: it fire you up to see a guy that's that's
Speaker 1: so fiery himself, And then it clearly means so much too.
Speaker 1: Here's Coach talking about that moment for Waddle and how
Speaker 1: he can channel it positively into his play. Well, it's
Speaker 1: definitely a case by case for him in particular. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I I recognize it as a as a
Speaker 1: good thing in nature like it's good that you're mad, UM,
Speaker 1: but you know he's a he's a young player that
Speaker 1: um is going to have a wonderful career and we
Speaker 1: rely on him to you know, make plays for us.
Speaker 1: So uh to me, I think, you know, the one
Speaker 1: of the things that he can take a step forward
Speaker 1: and is being able to translate that frustration towards the
Speaker 1: next play rather than um his helmet and the side
Speaker 1: and the sideline bench because people understand where he's coming from,
Speaker 1: but also what he aspires to be as a player,
Speaker 1: UM and what I want to see him get to. UM.
Speaker 1: When you're a big time leader, uh, you you end
Speaker 1: up you end up translating that energy. UM. Four things
Speaker 1: between whistles. So UM it was it was definitely not
Speaker 1: a negative thing, but something that I could UM that
Speaker 1: I that used the opportunity to to try to UM
Speaker 1: give him a picture and a vision of you know,
Speaker 1: growth moving forward, because things will happen that you don't
Speaker 1: want to happen. You know. He was he uh uh regardless,
Speaker 1: he was trying to catch the first turnover UM that
Speaker 1: bounced off of him was an interception. Then he was
Speaker 1: trying to score when he lets let the ball be
Speaker 1: a little loose and UM twenty two made a terrific play.
Speaker 1: That isn't that is coming from the right place. He's
Speaker 1: trying to help the team win. UM. And then you
Speaker 1: can just learn from those examples because they're very powerful
Speaker 1: and UM emotional because that's the type of competitor he is,
Speaker 1: and the competitor he is is why he is my
Speaker 1: favorite player in the National Football League. All right, that's
