Dolphins And welcome to 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.120 the Drivetime podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins Podcast Network, 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:49.800 covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.840 I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today show, 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.400 we're we'reviewing the regular seaton finale by the numbers and 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.520 by the tape. Plus we'll hear from head coach Mike 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.160 McDaniel and his Monday afternoon press conference from the Baptist 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.320 Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:13.039 the Drive keep it off first with the offense and 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.679 the all twenty two review. That's a wrap on the 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:19.240 regular season from my tape watching eight teen game tapes 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.759 in the HAAPA will definitely be using that this offseason 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.600 to go back and look at some stuff, but starting 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.039 off at the quarterback position as we do, and look 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.000 like it's just obvious when you put the tape on 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.640 that you're seeing a rookie quarterback kind of learning the 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.000 you know, the grooves of the NFL. There's not very 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.960 much manipulation or moving defenders stuff like that. The throw 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.160 of Tyreek that was tipped and nearly picked on the 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.680 deflection on that opening drive, that's a throw we've seen 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.040 executed all year long, but his eyes took that hook 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:51.040 backer right into the passing lane and nearly equal disaster 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.880 for Miami. And that fourth down to open the game 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.720 was also a miss where you have Tyreek running a 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.560 hook up, which is just go to the sticks and 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.280 hook or well not the sticks, but go to the 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.000 hooks on the linebacker's shell drop and show the quarterback 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.040 your numbers and he runs it right to the sticks, 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.919 to the side of the formation that has fewer Jets 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.480 defenders and the boundary despite the fact that it was 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.519 the strong side of the formation for the offense, and 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.320 that's where your progression should start. On that pressure arrives, 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.480 ball's got to come out because it's not a situation 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.280 where it's like a tough read for the offense. You know, 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.919 just based upon my knowledge of of what I see here, 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.480 it's the best wide receiver in the league at the 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.320 three in the furthest inside receiver to that strong side 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.040 with Tampa two coverage and a free release, so you 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.400 have a middle linebacker running out deep safeties off the 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.800 football and nobody pressing up. Tyreek runs to a vacancy 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.600 shows the quarterback is numbers and it's It's the exact 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.639 same play the Lions put the game away against the 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.960 Packers on Sunday night, the one that I think it 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.760 was almandros st Brown just run to the vacancy golf 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.959 found him boom, first down, game over, exact same look. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.520 That's where the progression starts in every offense. These are 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.760 the fine details that ultimately cost you plays, drives, and 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.800 points off the score board at the end of the day. 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.600 I thought the first nice throw or nice play of 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.360 the game was the third down conversion on the second drive. 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.120 He did a good job to extend and eventually find 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.200 Tyreek on a difficult throw and that was a big spot. 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.560 And more on that just a moment. Now that said 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.720 Tyreek was again open on the pivot straight away, and 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.919 this is why it's difficult to put together sustained drives 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.760 on offense. We're not anticipating open windows are opening vertically 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.000 down the field, and we're not on time on what 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.120 should be layups. Just a tough way to make a 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.600 living when you don't have that as part of your offense. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.520 Like the defense, it's the idea of taking with the 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.480 defense gives you. If you're gonna take what they give 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.400 you and you're not explosive down the field, you're gonna 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.760 have days where you score nine points offensively and kick 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.160 a bunch of field goals. His best throw of the day, 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.720 for my money, was the wheel route to Durham Smith 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.200 early on in the game, and it was awesome spacing 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.520 on a play that looked like it was quarters coverage 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.120 to me with the three man shell underneath and rushing 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.680 just four. I can't know that for sure, but waddles 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.560 flag his corner route, brings Sauce Gardner off the perimeter, 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.840 and then a flat from Jeff Wilson Jr. Pulls the 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.600 curl flat defender down and that opens up the space 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.000 of the wheel for Durham Smyth and Skyler had immense 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:10.960 pressure in his face, had to throw from a fade 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.600 away position and put the ball not just away from 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.240 the defender and away from danger, but right where Durham 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:17.840 could go up and get it to me. That was 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.080 the best play of his NFL career so far. The 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.520 miscommunication on the snap that ruined the drive seemed like 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.840 just that Skyler making a check where he has both 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.480 hands up to the helmet and Connor Williams fires off 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.719 a snap that just was had too much pepper on 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.600 it and was high and wide. But a great job 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.560 by Skyler. I thought to fall on that ball because 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.400 if he does not, might have been a touchdown for 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.840 the Jets going the other way. Miami, you could not 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.200 afford that in this game. I really liked the third 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.919 and four conversion throwing on the move to Wattle on 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.359 that out slash comeback. Good job getting outside of of 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:52.600 inside pressure the right The end off the offense is 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.320 right side slanted across the face of Brandon Shell and 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.360 beat him pretty good. But he throws an accurate ball 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:58.719 on the move here to move the chains in a 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.320 big play. Again, just going back to this, lots of 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.360 late stuff the out route to river Cracraft was way 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.159 too late, uh in the third quarter or was it 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.799 it was third quarter? The next drive in the fourth quarter, 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.720 nine thirty six to play, it's a third down and 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.800 eight and man Tyreek rants right past the coverage, which 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.960 bust because you see a man follow him in motion 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.719 from one side of the formation to the other. And 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.200 then he didn't run with him, which the Jets defenders 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.360 were surprised by because nobody else did until it was 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.760 kind of late for Gardener to get deep on him. 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.560 And he's he's two yards beyond Gardner and throw that 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.479 ball as far as you can and let Tyreek go 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.880 get it on the first play of the eventual game 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:38.039 winning drive. As well, in another situation, Wattle wide open 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.479 a deep out for a big game and Tyreek's open 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.279 fifteen yards down the field on a curl coming back 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:44.880 down the stems. So there's just too much of that. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.719 But all things told, I think the appreciation for Skylar 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.680 was him not making the backbreaking mistake, Like we have 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.960 to understand what you expectations should be for players, and 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.840 great him against that expectation. He dealt with a lot 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.279 of pressure from the Jets. He extended and made just 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.560 enough ace to get us into the Winter circle. That's 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.760 what you asked for. I suppose when you're down QB 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.359 one and when we've gone two and eight in the 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.360 ten games without two of the last two years, I mean, 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.680 I think you have to kind of appreciate the two 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.640 wins you do get well. I guess last year against 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.240 the Texans, the five turnovers was not really notable, but 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.520 this one no turnovers and that was kind of the 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.919 difference in the game. Big job for Scotlart Thompson, and 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.480 he executed as much as he had to on the 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.680 offensive line. I continue to marvel at the job that 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.960 Rob Hunt does and the way he plays so in 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.000 control and because he's so aggressive and you know it 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.480 just gets some of his best blocks, the big hit 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.360 blocks you'll see across the National Football League. The way 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.000 he does that but stays on balance with knees over hips, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.080 hips over knees, shoulders over hips and just finds a 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:45.919 way to work into the strike zone. You know, the 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.760 chest plate of his man. It's impressive. He's patient enough 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.560 to let a slanting rusher across his face and just 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.839 make sure that his feet get there before his punch 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.320 and allows him to thwart these moves in a way 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.919 that looks totally effortless. I'm not gonna sit here and 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.080 tell you I've watched everything will snap from every single 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.640 guard to give you a full you know, power rankings 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.600 on this, but I know what good football looks like. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.120 I think you'd be hard pressed to find many guards 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.840 with a better body of work the number sixty eight 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.880 this season a great year. Just go watch Jeff Wilson's 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.240 big run on that third and inches call my man 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.240 buries his dude and opens up a massive crease. Also 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.880 got good seals from shell Smith and Long on the 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.000 other side of the block to open that lane. But 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.400 just was consistently making plays of this all game. Long 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.920 second level blocks there again pulling some action at right tackle. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.080 Like his second play at right tackle, he gets a 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.160 pancake to seal the edge with great blocks from right 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.880 guard Rob Jones and center Connor Williams as well to 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.640 spring Wilson for sixty yards. He also got a great 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.840 downfield block again from River Cracraft. But Hunt playing both 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.520 those positions I think was so impressive. His right guard 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.440 work is is a lot more impressive than right tackle, 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.960 but he was you know, adequate at right tackle. I thought, 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.520 uh leam Eichenberg had some good work early in the 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.480 running game, especially connecting on those first level catching client 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.920 plays where he helps um you know, either the left 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.560 tackle or center you know, engage the band that he 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.840 originally catches and climbs from. But gosh, there was some 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.800 some rough reps in pass Pro, like forward lean punch 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.720 fully extended out over his skis, where from that point 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.960 it's just swiped the hands away and throw him off balance. 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.440 It's little resistance on one on one situations, and that's 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.880 a spot you can't afford to lose that quickly, and 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.560 that badly against because you know, guards and centers always 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.840 surrender far fewer pressures than offensive tackles due by nature 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.680 of the position and the space you have to defend. 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:31.480 But this is a type of rep that you just 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.800 can't have. Like it's a it's a play ender, it's 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.200 a drive ender. It's a potential turnover type of situation, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.880 and we see it often the deep shot from Skylar 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.960 to smythe you know run action where the left guard 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.480 pulls to pick up the front side edge and he 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.440 just stops short of that landmark. You could have gotten 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.360 that block, but we didn't get it, so it just 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.760 needs to be more there. And also, you know, left 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.679 tackle and right tackle were not the best tapes either. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.760 Um Brandon Shell, I thought before the injury was one 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.959 of his rougher tapes. And he had three tapes to 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:04.679 me that we're not great this year the two Jets 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.480 games in the Vikings game. Otherwise, pretty solid effort from 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.319 Brandon Shell. But hopefully he can get back and healthy 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.280 for the game next Sunday. But this was not one 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.160 of his better games on the offensive line. I thought 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.400 cornor Williams is better in this game, had some pressures 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.200 on in past probe I had some really big blocks 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.120 in the running game. And speaking of the running game, 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.199 the running backs will cover this in the stats portion, 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.959 but man, we needed every one of those yards. Man, 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.200 they were so imperative in this game, especially the ones 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.800 after contact. I mean, even when they weren't breaking tackles, 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.840 they were shifty and powerful enough to keep defenders out 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.360 of their you know, figurative strike zone so they could 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.000 spin off or forward lean to get the extra yard 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.960 or two or three the second possession, second play, Jeff 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.400 Wilson is dead to rights at the line of scrimmage, 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.000 but he gets three extra yards just fighting through the tackle. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.160 It goes from third and seven to third and four 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.400 and we get a conversion of Tyreke on the very 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.760 next place. So going from punting out of our own 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.160 end zone to a first down at your own twenty four. 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.800 The fine margins like that that gonna win games like 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.280 this for you so important, and we got a bunch 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:04.880 of them like that in this game. And then the 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.440 seven yard run from Savan akhman I would argue the 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.120 best blocks we've seen all year from two guys during 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.600 a Smith and Rob Jones. You get split flow from 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.040 smythe and he wipes out the edge and watch the tape. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.600 He gets up pumped up, fist pumping after the play. 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.360 And then Rob Jones pulls in and squares up the 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.640 force defender and really gave Savan all the room he 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.880 had to work with. Just a little bit longer held 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.600 on the block by Eikenberg and Savan could have popped 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.679 that one for a bigger game, but either way put 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.320 him in range for a field goal. At receiver, you know, 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.960 Tyreek had his catches early in the game. Two of 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.280 them were big ones too. On the first couple of drives. 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.640 The route on the second grab was was premier player 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.040 stuff because he actually opens up on his original route 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.679 but doesn't quit on the play as Skyler scrambles and 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.000 it's kind of a fire drill at that point. And 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:49.839 what does he do? What does he do besides follow 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.199 his quarterback to the sideline and as the Jets corner 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.840 follows him there, he then keeps going, turns up field 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.440 and it puts the defenders back to the quarterback and 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.200 Skylar sticks it right on Tyreek. So great scrambled rill 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:04.640 all along and a quick sidebar. Tyreek's blocking downfield and 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.320 smythe on the Jet sweep to waddle to start the 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.679 second half was absolutely awesome the keys of the play. 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.559 I also thought the defensive past interference on the third 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.320 down shot into the end zone where he was picked 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.839 up by a linebacker or rather should have been d 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.400 p I. It was close, but he ran through the 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.520 catchpoint and didn't find the football. Linebacker did and I 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.560 note that because it was a good job by Tyreek 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.400 coming back to the football, but he didn't get the 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.000 call and surprised there was wasn't more laundry that Jets 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:31.800 played pretty aggressive and grab a lot, but they didn't 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.160 seem to call it very often, although it happened a 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.040 lot in this game. And waddle Man there's a play 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.160 on third and eight where he sells uh dj read 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.240 on the takeoff and then breaks it back out of 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.240 the to the deep out and angles back to the quarterback. 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.520 It's a really impressive route with the ball winds up 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.120 going elsewhere, and that was kind of the story of 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.120 this game. I thought waddle and Tyreek were open a 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.280 few times and didn't get the next didn't get the targets. 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.960 On the very next possession, he turns Sauce Gardener around 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.600 on another brilliant route man safety help to the boundary 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.839 where I sent this clip to O J. And he's like, 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.240 that ball that that corner had no idea the ball 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.959 was coming there, because based upon the priest nap alignment 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.640 and the coverage, that ball should have not gone there. 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.880 And uh so he turns around Gardner with safety help 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.600 to the boundary where he's lined up, and it allows 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.120 Gardner to play trail technique, and trying to run routes 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.320 back to the quarterback on trail technique is about the 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.920 hardest thing. The receiver can do. You have to convince 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.120 him that you're going vertical and get him to flip 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.959 his hips and start getting vertical himself, which Jalen does 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.760 with you know, an inside release against outside leverage, which 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.640 is also tough. But you immediately see him close distance, 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.599 like lean into Gardener because it's easier to create separation 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.040 when there's a shorter distance between you and your man 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.520 because he has to wait longer to react because you're 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.720 so close to him, and he just leans into him 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:48.920 and breaks off the route that way. Just the way 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.319 his his knowledge of leverage and spacing continues to get 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.040 better was on display on that play. Then he fights 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.400 through contact and it's a hold if you ask me again, 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.960 no flag, and then angles his route back to Skyler 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.760 and makes a huge catch on third down to set 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.880 the Dolphins up in the red zone. Then on the 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.000 game winning drive that catch to come back to the 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.160 football and make the snag at some traffic going to 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.440 the ground and stay beyond the sticks. What a player, man, 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:15.800 Jelen Waddle is some kind of player. Thought Gaski's uh 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.000 strength of his hands and contested catchability on the thirty 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.240 two yard play was such a big difference in this 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.080 game for field position, you see Skyler's arm get hit 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.439 and Mike is Johnny on the spot. Ball goes right 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.000 to him, but they catch through contact. Was most impressive 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.080 if that had pass breakup written all over it. But 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.199 good strong hands there from a D eight Eric Azokama. 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.600 Jeff Wilson has an eleven yard run on a stretch 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.760 play in the first quarter and easy hit the block 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.360 and stayed on it all the way down the field. 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.720 You saw good blocks from receivers all game long here, 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.920 which is usually the case when you run for more 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.439 than a buck fifty. Speaking of blocking on the perimeter, 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.480 Surefield does it every single week. That little short motion 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.960 return motion to crackback on crack toss for Wilson coming 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.160 around the edge for a game of five on second 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.160 and six. It was the key block there, and he 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.199 has so many plays where he is the key baller 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.440 town the field just in general. Wanted to mention the 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.120 second field goal drive the opening of the second half 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.640 and how I thought the designs in the running game 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.680 in addition to all the blocking did a good job 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.720 to kind of fool the Jets front and take advantage 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.160 of their aggressiveness with some whams and some inviting guys 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.360 up the field and using some reverse action, some end around, 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.400 some you know going after the edges, which was a 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.800 big focus for us on the game preview, and Miami 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:24.840 got a bunch of yards in that area. And then 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.160 just also the common themes on some chunk runs. It's 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.240 Rob Hunt blowing up defenders. It's Connor Williams heading tough 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.880 reach blocks where he has to you know, beat pre 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.960 snap leverage that's not in his favor and holding those 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.000 blocks long enough for he most at, refusing to go down, 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:40.720 and then key blocks at the point of attack by 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.600 alec Ingold. There's obviously other factors where those are pretty 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.800 regular occurrences on the big runs. On the fourth down 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.040 and five run play conversion a huge one in this game. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.840 What a play that was. First, Surefield coming from the 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.080 field to the boundary and motion. Miami had five to 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.520 block five to that week's side, and that's what you got. 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.760 Craycraft successful, cra seal Williams another clutch reach block to 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.560 seal the one shade on his outside shoulder. Rob Hunt 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.440 wipes out a linebacker completely out of the play. Surefield 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.640 holds his block down the field and brand Shell goes 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.560 out and makes just enough of a block to give 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.240 Wilson that lane that he hit at top gear and 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.080 didn't slow down to move the sticks. A great call, 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.240 great execution, a first down. That was a massive shift 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.720 in the game. In fact, my Yahoo Sports app in 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.920 terms of win probability Miami's went from fifty percent to 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:31.440 sixty percent after that play. Huge, huge moment and they executed. 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.560 And just a few plays later on the reverse toss 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:37.640 to Raheem again, Sherfield Craigcraft Williams with a convoy taking 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.920 out all three jets on the perimeter and a chance 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.160 to make a play, and then Raheem finishes the run 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.560 for a big time you know trip into the red 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.880 zone and eventual field goal there. So the offense, you know, 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.480 running game was was fun to watch. Passing game was 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.280 a bit of a slog fest. But we'll see what 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:52.840 they have next week. Let's go ahead and take our 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.800 first break and come back on the other side and 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.800 to the defensive film review. That's next Drivetime podcast, your 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:07.120 host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by do Nation. Back 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.720 here on a Tuesday wild Card round weekend coming up, 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.040 Let's go ahead and talk about Week eighteen. One last 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.280 time though, and get to the defensive film breakdown here, 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.280 And I really enjoyed watching this front all year long. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.280 The run defense has been so good. Twenty carries thirty 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.120 eight yards for the Jets in this game, and it 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.120 usually looks like this front side stacks it up and 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.280 holds the point and someone backside wins with quickness and 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.560 pursues it and chases it down from the backside to 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.600 make the play. And it happened consistently on Sunday. Christian 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.040 Wilkins has made both of these plays a million times. 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.640 Zack Seiler involved in that as well, the entire edge, 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.080 Ray Kawan, John Jenkins, they all have a part in 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.720 making these plays. And I think the past rush has 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.000 been really good too. I just hope we get a 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.400 chance to see the same line up up front next 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:56.200 year with a healthier or improved cornerback room, whatever the 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.880 case may be, the path to improving the coverage on 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:00.880 the back end. I want to see this pass rush 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.120 have a chance in this run game, have a chance 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.520 to be paired with really good coverage on the back end, 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.520 because I think you could get something special, and I 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.480 think that's the key to sparking more turnovers like we 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.359 had the last couple of years. Good coverage, good play upfront. 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.880 That's how you create splash plays. We've got one part 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.400 of that really downpat. If we can get healthier or 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.280 improved next year, maybe we get a return of that 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.879 with the offense playing like it can and then gosh, 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.480 the the the roof is the ceiling, as they say. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.080 Let's talk about Zach Seiler a play where he's a 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.280 three technique with a hesitation step and shuffle crossover step 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.199 upfield where he fakes out the left guard. He just 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.359 has a bunch of different clubs in the bag to 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.760 get immediate wins like he has right here, and he 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.960 faked the left guard all the way out to get that. 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.639 That lane opened up for an early stuff along with 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:48.960 Eric Rowe, who just continues to make plays in the 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.520 running games, scraping and tight to the formation to pair 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.960 up for a tackle for loss on the Jets first 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.360 field goal. Seiler had a pass rush on third down 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.240 the red zone where he literally got there the moment 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.800 flackle hold it back off of play action off the 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.639 mesh point, but somehow still got the pass out and 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:06.600 completed it. I don't know how he does this. He 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.159 had a few of these throws in this game, and 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.280 like that scrambled player where he threw it getting tackled 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.080 in the end zone, the ball comes out of his 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:18.800 hand and like it like changes the trajectory midflight. Just 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:20.520
