WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Jags All 22 Review 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:04.160 Hey, Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:07.040 Now let me check your pulse if you're not far though. 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:10.080 What is up? Dolphins? 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.039 And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, part of the 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:18.040 Miami Dolphins podcast network covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:19.200 How's it going? Everybody? 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:22.160 I am your host, Travis Wingfield And on today's show, 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.880 a fun episode coming your way, Zach Seeler extension, updates 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.840 from coach McDaniel on the injuries, and some other stuff 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.840 from Sunday's press conference. We'll also took a look at 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:33.960 the All twenty two and put a review on the 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:36.440 a bo I should say with the review on the 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.560 exhibition season, plus some words for one of the best 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.320 people I ever met my entire life. From the Baptist 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.879 Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.240 This is the Draft Time Podcast, Maggie Gaffe. 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.360 Before we get to the podcast, let's go ahead and 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.800 list off the fourteen cuts that were announced on Monday 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.560 ahead of Tuesday's deadline to get the roster down to 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.240 fifty three players. Of course, you'll see all kinds of 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.280 moving and shaking across the league over the next week 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.480 or so as teams finalize their fifty three man rosters 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.399 for opening day. And remember all the veterans or players 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.600 in general, I should say, that are on that opening 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.760 day roster, that salary becomes guaranteed for the year. So 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.120 there's all kinds of different ways of getting different players 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.680 cut and brought back and practice squad. It's just kind 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.039 of a cavalcade of chaos over the next ten or 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.200 so days. So the Dolphins initial wave of cuts here, 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.959 they have released tackle Jeron Christian, wide receiver Kiki Kuti, 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:34.240 and linebacker aj Johnson. Of course, Kuti and Johnson recent 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.440 acquisitions here, but the release means they don't have to 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.440 pass through waivers. They can sign with any team immediately. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.120 Players that do have to pass through waivers linebacker Mitchell Lagude, 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.200 quarterback James Blackman, defensive lineman Josiah Bronson and Randy Charlton, 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.360 wide receiver Chris Coleman, linebackers Aubrey Miller and Garrett Nelson. 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.160 Safety Kedrin Smith tackled James Tunstall in then back to 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.000 d tackles Jalen Twyman and Jamal Woods who was just 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.160 signed earlier this week as well. So team moves ahead 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.760 of the deadline. We'll have more coming for you guys tomorrow. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.600 Let's read off some injury updates here from coach McDaniel, 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.600 who said on Sunday, Savon Achmed is not in the 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.520 concussion protocol. He will be day to day. Elijah Campbell, 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.160 they were fearing it could be a potential acl but 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.200 they found out it is not and that is fortunate. However, 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.280 they're assessing the extent of it and they feel there's 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.280 a chance that could go into the season for him. 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.040 He did avoid one thing, but there was a substantial 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.560 injury that coach said will take him into the season. 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.320 So thinking about Elijah there, he was having a great camp, 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.639 in a great preseason and looking forward to getting a 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.519 look at him on the defensive side of the football 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.839 in addition to what he offered on special teams. Mike 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.320 White cleared concussion protocol on Friday. Coach said the quarterback 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.639 two announcement will come next Monday, so. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.679 Keep it locked for that. Leam Meikenberg. 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.840 He practiced all week and dressed in case of emergency, 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.440 but was held out of the game because he was 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.800 not one hundred percent and coach did not think it 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.160 was fair to make him compete for that job with 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.320 others in the can condition that he was in. And 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.760 then Jeff Wilson's similar story. He mentioned both he and 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.880 Liam Eichenberg were doing some pain management throughout the course 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:08.800 of the week and if it was up to both guys, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.040 they would have both gone. But he is happy with 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.679 how both guys are progressing in their rehab from those injuries. 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.680 Also contract extension. Zach Sealer. Let's go ahead and hear 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.320 from coach on the value of Zach Sealer. Man. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.320 I was fired up, and so were a lot of 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:34.079 his teammates just because you know Zach has Zach epitomizes 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:41.440 such an important, such an important thing within the journey 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:42.440 of the NFL player. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.000 You know, you're talking about a guy that. 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:51.560 Has has earned every cent that he's paid. He's been 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:57.640 cut twice, and you know, I think the timing, as 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.840 far as it relates to the team couldn't be better. 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.920 For so many guys in the in the next forty 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.840 eight hours that you know. 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.880 Aren't able to make the final fifty three. 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.800 I think that is something that's real and can feel 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:19.920 in the moment like your dream's over. And I think 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:27.280 he's an exemple exemplary example. He's a great example. Okay, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:32.120 we'll just do a great example of worrying about what 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.479 you can control. And you know he's we're happy to 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.720 get that, get that done as as well as the 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.000 locker room's happy for him too. 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.440 And from the word go, Zach has been a hit 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.760 down here, hasn't he. Somebody asked me on Twitter? Is 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.359 he the best waiver wire claim in team history? And 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:50.119 I'm not sure. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:51.040 I don't have the. 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.720 I guess the well, this is probably the thing I 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.840 know the most about is this franchise. But I don't 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.080 know waiver wire specific additions like Cam Wake. I know 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.680 he wasn't a waiver wire guy, but being undrafted, just 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.840 random free agent signing from the CFL after it didn't 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.280 work out in the NFL with several teams, that's like 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.960 the go to the gold standard. But Zach Seeler as 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.600 far as waiver wire claims, unless somebody else knows one 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.080 from before my time that I'm not aware of, he's 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.240 got to be it. Remember the Bengals game back in 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.320 twenty nineteen, it was like his third game with the team, 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.880 where he had six pressures and five run stops and 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.600 two batted passes on like twenty five snaps and he 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.479 was one of the first players I ever interviewed after 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.320 that game, and he was nice as I'll get out, 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.040 and very respectful of my time and Kevin durn who 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.599 was with me there at the time, and you could 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.479 just see it from that opening couple of games. I 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.760 think where his best traits are exemplified are on short 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.240 yardage plays when they jam their heavy twenty three personnel, 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.640 two backs, three tight ends, no wide receivers, extra offensive linemen. 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.320 We bring all the linebackers and safeties under the field 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.520 and everyone just sells out. In the running game, you 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.080 get hat on hat and Zach wins those so damn frequently. 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.200 He and Landon Roberts the last couple of years were 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.120 fourth and third and one merchants man cutting that stuff down, 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.000 just brute strength to take the guy where he wants to. 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.280 And then over his time here, I thought he's really 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.120 developed that counter move to the bull rush that he 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.560 really puts guys on their heels with where they have 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.080 to be prepared to absorb that, and when they either 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.560 absorb it or they go and try to attack him aggressively, 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.320 then he can just use those long arms, those heavy 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.320 mits and good grip strength to grab on and then 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.039 utilize a swim move that I think he's really developed 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:29.160 over four years here, which when you have that fastball 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.920 and then the I guess the circle change to work 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.960 off of that to go from Felix Hernandez's cabinet of pitches. 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.599 You're tough to hit man, You're tough to block for 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.480 these guys, and he can hold blocks as the one shade, 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.840 which is kind of what Rakwon Davis plays most frequently. 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.440 A two technique over the guard, a three tech on 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:46.960 the outside of the guard. He can kick out to 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.120 the five tech on the outside shoulder of the tackle 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.240 and penetrate inside with slants and twists and stunts and 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.359 be the pick man. He has some pass rush to 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.560 his capability that shows up when you need it. Just 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.880 one of the more underrated players of the last few 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.520 years across the National Football League, and no more as 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.880 he gets his payday in his recognition, and I just 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.799 think that his trajectory is phenomenal. He played five hundred 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.240 and thirty two snaps back in twenty twenty, his first 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.480 full year here in Miami. I always thought he should 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.880 have played more than he did those first couple of years. 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.800 Josh Boyer was the first one to give him like 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.240 full you know, Christian Wilkins level snap counts. It decreased 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.640 in twenty twenty one for whatever reason, to five hundred 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.720 and eighteen snaps, but he increased his pressures and run 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.840 stops marginally there even with fewer snaps, that just showed 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.680 you he was getting better and better. And then in 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.960 twenty twenty two gets the big jump in playtime eight 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.760 hundred and seventy four snaps. All he does is sets 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.760 career best across the board with thirty one quarterback pressures 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.880 forty one run stops, was sixth most among interior defensive linemen. 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.280 He also finished top ten each of the last two 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.600 years with batted passes four and three respectively. And as 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.280 for his counting stats, last year, three and a half sacks, 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.320 seven tackles for lost, twelve QB hits, he forced two fumbles. 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.520 Over his career, he has ten sacks, twenty five tackles 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.480 for lost, twenty eight quarterback hits, three forced fumbles, and 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.160 nine passes defense. But you just watch this tape and 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.440 you know he's a productive player based on the tape. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.560 Watch him every single week, every Dolphins fan will tell 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.040 you every national pundit will say Zach Seedler's a guy 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.640 that makes stuff happen, and his durability and versatility are 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.240 hallmarks of what makes this defense what it is, isn't 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.280 it first? You know, he and Christian do such a 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.720 good job of keeping our linebackers clean to hunt for 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.960 plays down around the line of scrimmage. And I think 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.000 that David Long was a perfect addition to going behind 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.000 those guys alongside Jerome Baker. But Zach allows you to 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.760 get to multiple fronts because anytime you need to adjust 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.120 your alignments, and it can be after you've even you know, 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.599 ran your personnel out there, you know that Zach is 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.320 capable of taking on several of those roles at any 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.240 given time and not just go out there and be 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.360 a body, but dominate in that capacity. He's a great player. 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:46.680 I'm glad we got to keep him around here for 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.280 a few more years. Three year extension for Zach Sealer. 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.319 He's not going anywhere, all right. Let's go ahead and 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.600 take our break after a short segment there and come back. 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.120 We have a lot to get to here. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.160 As you can see on the time he elapsed on 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.199 the bottom of your podcast app We're going to cover 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.880 the All twenty two here next on the Draft Time podcast, 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:07.559 your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auntnation, our 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.839 last All twenty two review of the exhibition. The next 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.560 time we do one of these podcasts, it will be 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.400 the Los Angeles Chargers and hopefully I think will be 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.120 a big Dolphins win on opening Day. Let's go ahead 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:19.920 and start with the big plays. I only have three 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.000 this week. The opening play of the game Tua to 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.319 the Tyreek for thirty one yards. It happened on the 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.120 first play of the game, fourteen to fifty five to 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.920 play in that first quarter, and my takeaway from this 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.920 was that Tua has the best feet mechanics in the game, 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.040 and I don't think it's all that close. All those 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.959 reps on Ewa beach Beck with Pops sure paid off 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.400 as a child man. He's drilled it so much that 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.040 muscle memory is just in grain for the guy. And 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.160 we actually saw Skyler Thompson execute something later in the game, 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:44.719 and I thought he did. 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:45.280 A good job of it. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.079 But I think that it showed you the discrepancy between 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.319 two and most quarterbacks and the footwork because it took 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.560 Skyler two extra steps based upon what Tua did, and 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.680 I'll explain it to you right now. It looks easy, 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.240 I know it does. It seems innocuous, and I'll get 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.800 called out by casual fans saying that, you know, whatever 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:04.520 the take is about, you know, the Sunshinea rainbow stuff. 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.360 But I'm trying to explain football in a nuanced way. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.000 I think that I don't think a lot of outlets 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.959 give you. So he comes out from under center and 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.559 fakes the toss towards the unbalanced twelve personnel side. So 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.079 twelve personnel's two tight ends. You have two why's attached 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.640 to the line of scrimmage when they're on the same side. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:22.679 That means it's unbalanced. 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.840 So you have the weak sides where we're passing the football, 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.600 showing the run to the strength to get that flow 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.440 and the action going that way. Which, by the way, 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.559 Mike McDaniel creating fall steps for linebackers. It's peanut butter 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.440 and jelly man. It's a match made in heaven. The 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.680 right foot drop, the first step he takes is also 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.400 the plant leg. So in addition to you know, putting 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.839 himself in position to make this throw, all this action 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.440 happens in one fluid motion. It's very rare that you 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.360 see that you understand what that means. It means that 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.720 we're going to spend a full three sixty on that 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.559 pivot point. I'm telling you pause the podcast right now 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.000 and go out in your backyard with your kid or 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.400 your buddy and face him straight up and do a 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.400 three to sixty as fast as you can, and then 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.400 see how accurate you are throwing the ball when you 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.200 get back squared up to him ten yards down the field. 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.280 Add a two hundred and fifty pound human, unblocked, running 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.720 full speed at you. Best of all, I'm pretty sure 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.760 this is a sight adjustment for him because the slot 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.040 corant to that side comes down on the line of 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.800 scrimmage when they motion Alec away from the play. So 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.959 it's actually not twelve personnel by the way, it's twenty 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.240 one because Aleck is part of the double whys, which 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.960 be explained already quick education. The fastest way to tell 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.720 a dB is blitzing is if he's capped, another defender 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.080 is right behind him. Typically that guy will blitz and 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.000 that cap defender will fill the coverage assignment, so he 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.319 converts to this blitz and that safety is now covering 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.480 Tyreek twelve yards off the line of scrimmage. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:42.920 Throw it to him now, right makes sense. 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.480 So Tua fakes the toss, the little pivot toss to 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.559 Tyreek and now he's loose. These plays are so damn 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:49.040 good to have. 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:49.800 In the back pocket. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.840 The ball is out in like half a second, no 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.160 threat of pressure because you know Tua can manage that 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.679 unblocked man when he knows he has the hot at 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.400 his disposal. And the reason the pivot is so deadly 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.840 just again, look at the flow of those linebackers. You 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.360 get two or three fall steps and total displacement out 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.560 of all of them, and that's what puts tyreeg in 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.360 open space. Chosen gets a good block outside and Tyreek 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.240 damn near takes it for six. But we'll settle for 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.600 thirty one yards with twenty five after the catch. These 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.240 small details are things that you're never going to see, 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.160 you know, big pundits talk about in Tua game, but 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.200 they show up frequently and they really really matter. A 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.840 forty one yard run for savon Akma two three seven 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.760 to play in the first quarter. We're going to get 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.640 in some takes. I have on the offensive line and 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.719 run game in a moment. But man, this play is 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.560 just a snapshot of textbooked football across the board. Essentially, 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.040 you have six key moments on this play. And what's 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.040 nice you have Durham and said and what essentially functions 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.200 as double wise to the strong side or really triple 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.640 since you've already got true double wise with both Craft 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:50.760 and smythe attached to that unbalanced twelve personnel your right tackle, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.200 tight end, tight end, those are whys when they're attached 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.600 like that. First, Craft absorbs the edges, attempt to dent 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.720 and no luck, so good rep there. From Croft, you 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.320 get Austin Jackson with a really tough assignment to reach 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:05.200 an offset mike linebacker. He's aligned outside of Austin's shoulder, 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.040 so Austin has more ground to go than the linebacker 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:09.040 does to get to the spot. 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:09.840 It's a tough ask. 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.120 He's five yards off the ball too, which the more 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.040 space for an offensive lineman, the tougher. But Austin gets 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:16.520 out there and gets enough of a piece of him 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.920 to slow him up, and then Savon auchmed to beat 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.520 that defender. He was the guy that we're kind of 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.240 keying on with the speed, and he does because Savon 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.760 has plenty of it. The other keys are Rob Hunt 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:29.040 walling off a three technique who has him outflanked aces 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.800 rep he he really or shoots that punch across the 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.679 bow and then gets his hips and his butt flipped 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.120 around to wall him off. Connor Williams has to climb 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.120 and execute the same thing he mentioned with Austin, and 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.640 he goes out there and completely erases the man. But 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.800 then the reason this goes for forty one yards and 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.720 not just some five or six yard carry is Durham 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.720 Smyth and Cedric Wilson. Smyth has the toughest ask in 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.199 my opinion. He has to creep slowly down on the 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.080 nickel and kind of let him, you know, slowly play 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.960 into it to not oversell the run action. And because 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.480 of this it allows that nickel to old run the 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.960 play and give Akmed the alley he has, and then 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.040 he takes him out completely, which executes perfectly, just a 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.000 great understanding of timing of the play and when to 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.400 go really attack your block and be patient with it. 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.320 And then Cedric works off that same patience, working right 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.040 behind Durham, who then seals the safety outside. What a 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.600 freaking play. And then how about Savon just going you know, 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.040 drake on Gronk on that middle of the field safety. 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.400 He is twenty yards off the ball and Savon blows 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.920 past him for an extra twenty two yards. Speaking of 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.720 Savon Akhmed, forty two of his forty three rushing yards 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.880 were after contact in this game. It's gonna make for 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.440 a nice average ten point five yards after contact on 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.640 average for Savon Akmed. The last big play I have 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.360 to break down is the Javon halland forced fumble and 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.800 recovery with six twenty to play in the first quarter. 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.000 Just a great all around play here. And first it 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.720 starts with Cater Coo who playing the run and screen 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.680 game down around the lion of scrimmage is maybe my 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.760 favorite thing to watch on this entire football team. 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.600 With number four. He is such a dog. So they 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:55.720 pull their right tackle. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.680 Out in space and if Cater doesn't do what he does, 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.520 that tackle has a clim I'm on Jerome Baker and 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.680 he's got seventy five eighty pounds on Baker. It's never 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.120 gonna happen if he gets to Jerome Baker. But Cater 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.640 goes downhill as the force defender, which is your last 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.960 lab of defense to set the edge and funnel things 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:12.760 back inside. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:13.480 And he not. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.960 Only beats the tackle to the upfield shoulder, and that 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.200 color flash for the running back is his indicator to bang. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.280 So bang means you're going to stick it right in 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.760 the gap that you're aiming for. Bounces to go wide, 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.960 and bend is to go back the other direction. He 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.120 has to bang because of the way that Cater plays 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.440 this and not just that, but Cater goes in and 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.000 takes the tackle out of the hip so that he 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.320 can't climb, and it allows Jerome Baker to flow freely 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.560 over there and arrive with a huge stick. And then 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.560 Javon taking on a block and he's not just gonna 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.480 accept this block into his chest. He goes and initiates 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.960 the contact which allows him to control the blocker and 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.800 that allows him to disengage with his long arms right 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.200 in front of the play just as the ballcarrier is 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.760 coming in and as he's bracing for contact with the ground, 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.880 halland throws the paw on the football finds the ball 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.440 falls on at great play and honestly, I think both 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.560 guys forced to Javon got the credit, but I think 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.840 that Bake's hand was on the football as well. Just 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.360 a great, great all around play. Let's go ahead and 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.880 get to Travis his top tapes, top tapes to a 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.840 tongue of I LOOA. Just love the footwork and the 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.440 timing and the rhythm he played with. The Jags played 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.560 the same soft coverage that we did, and just like 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.160 you to expect the pros to do. You know, Tua 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.560 and Lawrence were on point with the short intermediate passing game. 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.480 The throw to Chosen was before he came out of 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:23.960 the break ball was right where he needed to be. 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:25.040 That's pitch and catch. 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.160 Those are layups, but Tua is so adept to hitting 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:31.000 those layups. A clean rub on the mesh on that 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.640 third and goal play would have been a touchdown for Chosen. 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.240 The pick was that Smythe's drag creates gave them what 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.360 they wanted, but I thought Chosen got caught on it, 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.560 and I probably should have ran that crosser like he 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.640 ran at the pick. Man like run under him. Just 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.000 go use your speed because two is going to find you. 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.440 And that allowed the defender playing off of Chosen to 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.120 work around the pick. Just in time to recover and 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.080 he made the play and Tua put the ball right 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:54.480 on the mark, but it wasn't going to go anywhere 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.920 anyway because it was too slow developing from that side. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.640 The rail by Raheem is the first read on that mesh, 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.440 goes rail back to the mesh over the middle, and 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.120 then you work to the backside of the formation. It's 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.560 a right to left right on this particular play, and 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.240 that rail paired with the rub By smyth creates this 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.359 pocket you want on the mesh, but you have to 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:13.320 get through your route clean. 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:14.480 It did not happen. 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.600 Tuoa was one for one under pressure, two for two 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.960 win blitzed, which means he didn't miss a pass under 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:23.159 pressure or when being blitzed this preseason, which is that's perfect. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.159 Tiny sample size but still pretty nice. My second favorite 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.240 top tape River Craycraft, just so dependable. The first catch 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.280 was motion onto the rail and he really pressed the 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.800 dB to convince that dB of the takeoff. And look, 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:36.880 this is not going to be a slight at River Craycraft. 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.639 But when you don't have four to four speed, you 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.040 have to be precise with that detail. And that's why 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:44.280 River gets open because he is so precise. Austin Jackson 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.040 I thought had a really good game. I've been saying 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.240 this about Austin showing progress as we go along, and 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.840 I think that's to be, you know, expected for a 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.080 guy who missed, you know, a good chunk of time 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.240
