WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins 49ers Week 16 Preview 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:11.200 What is up Dolphins and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:14.400 I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:16.959 the Dolphins take on the Niners in a game that 0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:21.000 both teams absolutely must win. Will preview the matchups, the Keys, 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:23.840 give you a prediction and much much more from the 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.400 Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:35.120 is the Draft Time Podcast, Real Quick Football Tonight. Broncos 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:39.639 over Chargers is my pick either way, Like you get 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.920 a good result in this game if you're the Dolph, 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:44.559 if you're a Dolphins fan rooting for playoffs, or you know, 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.680 trying to get back into the playoffs, I will take 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.000 the Broncos. I think a banged up Justin Herbert who 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.479 cannot move compounds his issues that he can't see the 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.160 field that well. I think a good Broncos defense can 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.920 get after him. In a Chargers offense that has no 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.760 separators and has no run game and the quarterback is 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.240 struggling in the second half of football games, give me 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.400 the Broncos and a game between two teams I don't 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.520 think are that good, but one of them, probably two 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.640 of them, will make the playoffs Week sixteen at No 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.160 Rather Verse the San Francisco forty nine Ers at hard 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.920 Rock Stadium for twenty five kickoff on CBS, A Nansen 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.800 Romo game. Seventy degrees at kickoff, expected to dip in 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.560 the low sixties by about seven to thirty end of 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.880 the game. Partly cloudy, minimal breeze and a slight chance 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.360 of rain. A little bit chilly these days in South 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.520 fourth seventy degrees, we are cold out here. Let's go 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.680 ahead and meet the forty nine ers for the fourth 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.039 time this year. We are going to tell you about 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.600 a team that has a very similar makeup to ours, 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:41.800 and we'll do it for a fifth time next week, 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.320 the Niners, where coach McDaniel advanced his career from positional 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.360 assistant to coordinator and the springboard to get in the 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.920 big chair here in South Florida. They are such an 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.280 interesting team. I will mention as often as I can. 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.440 The story I wrote back in twenty seventeen for my 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.920 own website called third and ten dot com, where I 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.680 broke down quarterback play and I was very bullish on 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.400 the Brian Hoyer reuniting with Kyle Shanahan forty nine Ers, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:11.680 thinking they might surprise some folks now that was in 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.280 fact a lie are lie detector determined they were terrible 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.919 that year until they traded for a quarterback in Jimmy 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.640 Garoppolo and went six and one down the stretch to 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.519 finish the year after starting to nine. It built hype 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.320 into twenty eighteen, but he gets injured in week two. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.160 They go four and twelve, and it lands them Nick 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.320 Bosa in a class that also landed them Deebo, Samuel 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:37.760 and Dre Greenlaw one year after getting Fred Warner and everything. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.079 Finally clicks thirteen and three, a ten point fourth quarter 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.480 lead in the Super Bowl, but they can't close it out. 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.280 Then twenty twenty, that damn injury bug pops up again. 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.440 It's all that damn Bob Barker's fault. Jimmy g goes 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.120 down again. George Kittle, Deebo, Samuel, Nick Bosa, Richard Sherman 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.680 among the eighteen players they had on injury reserve that year, 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.760 not to mention play their final three home games in 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.880 Arizona due to the pandemic. They go six and ten, 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.960 make that trade with US for Trey Lance, and he 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.200 goes on to play a whole one game for them 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.800 in twenty twenty two before he gets hurt. But in 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.240 twenty twenty one they go ten to seven, win two 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.320 road playoff games, and we're again leading in the fourth 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.240 quarter in the NFC Championship game but can't close it out. 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.839 Lance takes over in twenty twenty two for the off 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.080 fourmentioned one game. They go back to Garoppolo and he 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.359 leads them to a seven to four record before he 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:35.920 gets hurt again against US. And then Rock Purdy is born, well, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.280 I mean he wasn't born, but his football career, NFL 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.960 career was born. They win their final six games, roll 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.560 up two more playoff wins, but then they have to 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.040 play a fourth string quarterback when Purdy gets hurt in 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.120 the NFC Championship game, as Lance and Jimmy g were 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.840 already down and they get properly blown out. Then Purdy's 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.920 first full year as a starter coming off of that. 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.760 Did he have UCL surgery that year? Tommy John I 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.920 can't remember, but he goes twelve and five, takes them 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.960 to the Super Bowl. They have a lead, they get 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.480 into overtime again, but Patrick mahomes again. So when they've 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.520 been healthy, second best team in football over like the 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.920 last seven years right when injured, they win four six 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.479 games and get high draft picks and cash in on 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.599 those draft picks. Legit one of the crazier seven year 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.800 roller coasters, quite frankly this league has ever seen. And 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.080 now injuries in twenty four have hit them hard once again, 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.480 and they are six and eight, hanging on to an 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.799 extremely slim playoff hope, and they need to win out 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.160 and get two Rams losses. There's actually a possibility they 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.359 are eliminated by kickoff on Sunday, and that's if the 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.320 Rams beat the Jets and the Commanders upset the Eagles. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:43.280 That would do it. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.599 The first one likely, second one not so much. But 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.800 even then if the Rams win that game, they have 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.719 to have the Commanders lose two of their final two games, 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.200 I should say to the Falcons and Cowboys as well, 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.800 So not very likely for the Niners. This year, we 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.040 saw Drake Greenlaw play a half of football and what 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.279 a difference that guy makes. He was outstanding, but he 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.240 did have to leave the game dealing with knee soreness. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.360 You heard from uh or we'll hear from Lindsay Polaris 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.760 tomorrow that it sounds like he will give it a go. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:12.840 I was talking to Kyle, which you'll hear from him 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.479 tomorrow as well, and he thinks that that's not like 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.360 as sure of a thing because of the nature of 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.160 that injury in the soreness. So we'll see what happens there. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:22.960 I tend to trust Kyle's word, but we also got 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.880 word from the Niners, so we'll see if he can 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:26.560 play the game and finish the game right. But he 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.320 did say he was going to play, So it sounds 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.120 like they will have those backers back in the middle 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:33.920 and try to do what the Texans did to us, 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.200 squeezing those throwing lanes inside. But they do have some 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.480 very critical players who are down. Brandon Ayuk is their 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.040 best receiver, Christian McCaffrey is their best player. Jordan Mason 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.200 is the third string running back. Elijah Mitchell was the 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.960 second string running back. Those guys were all down, and 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.200 so is their best interior defensive lineman in Javon Hargrave. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.040 Tons of talent, And then it sounds like Trent Williams 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.839 will also miss the game. That one's not for sure yet, 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:02.080 but Shanahan's comments on Wednesdays sounded pretty pretty ominous about 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.400 his availability this week. And the rest of the season. 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.919 As for the forty nine ers offense, their scheme you 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.599 know it. It starts with wide zone. It incorporates a 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.040 ton of motions and shifts to get bumps and slides 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.240 out of the defense to try to mess up their communication. 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.679 It has a beautifully synchronized run game with false keys 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.680 and misdirections that forces defense to play with hesitancy and 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.360 to be able to play in all directions both from 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.880 a physical standpoint change of direction, but also processing standpoint. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.640 And a very accurate, smart quarterback who processes quickly and 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.720 excels in the quick game to weapons that can hurt you. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.119 On the back end, they love to run it behind 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.839 one of the best tight ends to ever do it 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.200 in George Kittle. They love to throw it to him 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.160 and let him set the temple offensively with the way 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.440 he runs through tackles. And though they are down their 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.119 best receiver in Brandon Ayuk, Deebo Samuel has been getting 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.720 more touches in the backfields a ballcarrier, but he is 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.960 really struggling this year with drops and just being an 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.400 impact player on that offense. I would say that you 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.640 can point to him as well as the Sho McCaffrey 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.720 absence as like the biggest reasons this offensive struggled this year, 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.160 and struggle is like subjective because they're still top ten, 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.520 but they haven't been in sync all year long like 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.600 they usually are. They've been banged up upfront. Their forte 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.640 isn't five and seven step drops on third and longs. 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:19.280 But they have developed continuity and played connected upfront, albeit 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.760 maybe not super productive. They play with the fullback, they 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.360 incorporate two tight end personnel without that fullback and with 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.520 them they did have a fast twenty one personnel package 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.080 before injuries basically said you can't do that no more, 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.160 and they run eleven personnel, which is the most common 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.280 personnel package three receivers in the NFL. They run it 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.400 at one of the lowest rates because again of that versatility, 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.760 how do you attack it? The biggest key is the 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.640 range you exhibit in the middle of the football field. 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.080 They are so good at messing with your alignment before 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.320 the snap, which go ask Zach Thomas. 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.960 You can't do that because you don't know Zach Thomas. 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.160 But he will tell you how important alignment is pre snap, 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:58.680 and they are very good at getting you out of 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.840 your alignment with condemmations to then shift at the line 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.080 of scrimmage to identify their coverage. They run motions to 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.480 tip off their quarterback with the information he might need 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.640 to get before the snap, and a run game that 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.440 helps emphasize the eye candy and fall steps that offensive 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.880 system creates, and then they throw inbreakers in behind those 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:21.360 display zones. It is a lot, man, It's a complex offense, 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.800 and they have I mean perfected it as a strong 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.360 term with how they're playing right now, but I mean 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.080 the past they have And Shanahan's the originator of this, 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.360 right He's the junior to Papa Shanahan, and he really 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.040 took it and made it even better than what Mike 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.920 Shanahan did with it. For years now, all of that 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.880 has not exactly flowed seamlessly this year, given how banged 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.440 up they've been. The loss of Ayuk is legit one 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.760 of the biggest pieces any team in the league could 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.280 could lose, and one of the few ones that might 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.840 be bigger is the loss of Trent Williams. Like picture 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.280 us playing without Waddle in tront that's basically what it is, 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.520 or Tyreek in toront I guess they have something that 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.160 I think we've strived. We're striving for here with continuity 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.840 across the offensive line. And I'm not even talking about 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.360 like one year of good health, rather having the program 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.080 be in place for eight years and inserting developmental pieces 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.920 in for high price free agents that exit like Laken 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.000 Tomlinson and Mike mcglinchy who were replaced with in house 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.920 options Colton mckivitz. 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:23.680 And uh Aaron Banks or am I talking about Dominic Puney. 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.480 Either way, young young players on the offensive line filed 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.480 in for those guys that left in free agency. They 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.760 and both of those guys struggled in Denver and in 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.559 New York respectively. They do have that even without Trent Williams. 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.079 And if you know how this system functions, one of 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.600 the main positions they try to ensure they have elite 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.040 players at is that tackle spot, and without Trent Williams, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.400 neither of their tackles are elite or even really above 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:51.520 replacement level. I like how we ran inverted to last week. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.640 What's inverted to, Well, you better to listen right now 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.600 because we're gonna talk about it a lot in this podcast. 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.120 It is when you bring your safeties down to play 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.040 the hook or play either you know, cloud coverage on 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.719 the outside or in the middle of the field. And 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.960 your cornerbacks are the ones that get deep and play 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.280 deep half in the secondary. So we ran a lot 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.400 of that last week. I love how we peeled our 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.120 sim pressure looks where you would, you know, show five 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.280 and bring four and peel back Benito Jones or Zach 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.679 Seeler or Chop Robinson or Anthony Walker, whoever it might be, 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.679 into the hook zone. And it continuously forced C. J. 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.800 Stroud to get off that first read. It changed the 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.480 launch point because we beat their butts in their pass protection. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.880 And then you plaster on the back end with Ramsey, 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.240 Cohu and Fuller and you get a pretty good game plan. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.160 I think the Niners can be attacked similarly, and I 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.640 think we might have to get that if we want 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.960 to have a chance to win this football game. The 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.800 Big Three versus the forty nine Ers offense Number one, 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.720 you have to cut off outside zone. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:49.360 You know how. 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:53.840 In every good apocalyptic zombie film, the characters eventually come 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.200 to find out that the only way to slow the 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.679 zombies down, or perhaps even return them to their pre 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.960 in infection health, is to like remove the head of 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:15.080 patient zero. Right, Oh my god, I give Kenny exactly 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.240 like that, and that applies to the outside zone runs 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:19.199 with the forty nine ers. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:20.559 But that's not all you have to do. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.560 That's just step one because if they get those stretch 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.720 runs on the perimeter, if you let Juwan Jennings pin 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.439 your edge on the perimeter and they pull a tackle 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.040 or one of their incredibly athletic interior offensive lineman Aaron 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.720 Brewer for US dominic puny for them, then they wind 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.360 up having defensive backs in space, having to beat three 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:42.240 hundred pound roadblocks and making tackles on shifty backs. It's 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.440 a losing proposition once again. Fortunately for Miami, that will 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.080 not be Christian McCaffrey, nor Jordan Mason nor Elijah Mitchell, 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.480 who all those guys had great knowledge and vision for 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.880 zone running. No teams sniff out good zone runners like 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.480 the forty nine ers. Dude, I think Isaac Grendo can 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.280 get that, but I don't think he's there yet. He's 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.320 getting his feet wet in the complexities of the system 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.960 that also features a lot of counter and unique footwork 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.600 to help sell the fakes and false keys they feature. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.240 It's a lot for a young player to take on. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.440 In fact, their third back was a guy that I 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.400 thought was pretty damn good at it, and Mitchell, but 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.520 again he's down as well all the way back in 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.320 training camp. So that's where I think you point to 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.439 some of the opportunities. We saw the Texans offense struggle 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.160 to find a rhythm and were consistently behind the change 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.200 because well, Jordan Brooks made such a great play on 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.400 the tackle for loss that he had that he had 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.400 early in the game where at knock Joe Mixon out 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.080 of the game periodically and then eventually for good. But 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.960 we just consistently beat the Texans and kept him into 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.840 long down distances and got off the field three point 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.280 six yards per play in general. But it starts with 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.320 twenty rush attempts for seventy seven yards, not great. But 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.400 if you take away the one wide receiver carry a 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.720 one rush for fifteen yards for Tank Dell where we 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.640 should have had him lost in the backfield there too, 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.560 it then becomes nineteen for fifty eight. If you get 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.959 that in this game, I think you'll hold the Niners 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.400 to twenty your points less again and probably less if 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.240 you don't turn the ball over, which is going to 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.520 be you know, obviously another key critical element of this game. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.280 They're right guard Dominic Puney has been really good, a 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.000 really good player for them. He's a perfect outside zone fit, 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.040 solid and pass protection. He's really the one newcomer and 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.079 come in seamlessly for the offensive line. And I'll never 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.360 forget Daniel Jeremiah his draft conference call last year. I 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.160 was I waited for an hour and a half to 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:26.760 ask my question, and I was like, who's the best 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.800 outside zone in tierior offensive lineman? DJ because I thought 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.640 we were in the business for that, and he pointed 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.520 to Dominic Putney, so that tracks they drafted him in 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.400 San Francisco. But other than that, it's been the main stays. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.000 If Trent Williams plays, which doesn't sound like he will, 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.920 it changes the entire dynamic. But he's been replaced over 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.720 the last four games by Jalen Moore. 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.640 Who isn't very good. 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.120 Moore hasn't been charged with a sack this season, but 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.360 you can watch the tape and it's a lot of 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.560 help and a lot of quick game and trying to 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.160 you know, runoff play pass in terms of not getting 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.200 him true dropback situations. But if you're going to get 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.719 their assignments confused with your slide and your bumps and 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:04.680 your pre snap shifts. That's probably the only area you 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.480 can get them in because it is so key to 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.880 try and do to the offensive line what they want 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.120 to do to the front seven by getting them to 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.360 take fallse steps and create better blocking angles leverage. But 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.520 they're so well schooled in the scheme that they can 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.600 really make up for what you might call a lack 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:24.160 of traits with that connectivity in their communication. But you 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.560 got to find a way to split those seams and 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.560 kind of get their assignments, you know, confused off the snap. 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.440 So it's important to really hold that edge and the 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.520 right side too for that matter, because although Colton mckibbitts 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.200 has been a start of there every game the last 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.560 two years, he's the low man terms of the pass 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.960 rush data. He has a PBE of like ninety three 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.720 point seven, which is really really rough and frankly from 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.880 my I on the tape in the run game, it's 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.560 it's just not been very good. So very important day 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.560 for Chop Robinson, for Emmanuel Ogbab Bradley Chubb, if we 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.160 get him back for Kalais Campbell and those five technique roles. 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.480 You have to win on the outside and set the 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.760 table for everything else, and then on the inside. I 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.400 don't really care if you're facing King Kong, Godzilla and 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.440 the stay Puff marshmallow Man across the interior offensive line. 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.520 I'm picking Zach Slier to win any of those matchups 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.760 that he might face. And these guys are not those monsters. 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:14.720 And I thought we did a great job on the 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.320 edges versus Houston, and let Zach and Jordan almost a 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:22.000 Jerome Jordan Brooks just win, win, and win some more. 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.840 It's funny, you know, go search any of their offensive 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.280 line names on X or find any discourse on their 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.160 offensive line. It is the exact same as what you'll 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.560 see on Dolphins here, like literally the exact same. Somebody 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.440 will share the offensive line data and the replies will 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.440 say that's because of brocks quick release. But Brock's time 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.240 throw this year is like three point three second or 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.680 three point oh three seconds, so that ain't it. I 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.760 don't really have an opinion on it. I just think 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.640 it's really funny because, as the great Morty Smith once said. 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:55.160 Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody's gonna die. 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.120 Come watch TV man, what a great show, Rick and 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.000 Morty is. Let's go ahead and take our first break. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.200 Great there, come back and do keys two and three. 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.680 In terms of the Niners offense, we'll talk about their 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.720 defense and pick the game. All of that much more. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.920 Draft Time Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:16.520 by automation. You gotta stop outside zone and number two 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.480 is to tackle, to punch the pocket and catch your 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.720 interceptions like you eat your carrots as a kid, right, 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.840 the old three for one. I think when you look 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.280 at the issues this offense has had this season, it's 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.280 somewhat of a replica to what we saw with us 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:32.240 down the stretch last year. Every game you were missing 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.280 like one of the big time skill guys. You had 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.440 different offensive line combinations pretty much every single week, and 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.240 you were not able to get those guys on the 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.280 practice field together, which in an offense that coach McDaniel 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:46.320 says has to be very connected to work. You get inconsistencies, 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.680 you get rhythm that falls off and it causes some 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.600 major gaffs and the way you do things purty looks 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.480 more uncomfortable to me. This year than he has ever 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.840 and I do think that he gets a bad rap 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.720 in the same way Tua does. But ma'am, he sure 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.640 does put the football in harm's way at kind of 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.800 an alarming rate. He got away with so many drop 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.720 picks last year. He was one of the leaders in 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.320 turnover worthy plays. He had thirty two of them last year. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.280 Now he kind of got away with a lot of 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.800 those in terms of the twps compared to actual giveaways. 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.440 But he had twenty one or he has twenty one 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.080 this year, I should say right about his pace this year, 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.840 and the biggest difference has been average depth of target 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.600 and time to throw three point zero three seconds time 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.119 to throw and nine and a half average depth of 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.240 target compared to last year, where it was a two 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.919 point seven to three so more than a quarter second longer, 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.320 and eight point six a dot so about a yard 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.040 less as well. It's just been a different offense this year. Now, 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.320 you know, we do not give a damn about numbers 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.199 on here without context from the film and what I 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.600 see as a passing game that because of the aforementioned 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.600 loss of so many key players, the initial reads have 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.359 been haven't been as obvious for him and there's been 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.120 a great necessity for creating. 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.080 And I think Brock is a very good quarterback. 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.520 I would put him in the top like fourteen of league, 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.920 but I think he has pressed a lot and puts 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.920 some questionable balls in play, particularly when he gets off 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.320 schedule and tries to create, which is a symptom to 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.480 me of that early down run game not being there 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.680 and trying to keep drives alive in those situations. There 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.959 is a number that I think points to their offense 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.160 struggling more than in years past, and it's pretty success 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.719 rate as a passer. Fifty point three as a rookie 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.800 was really good. Fifty four point seven last year was 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.680 I think it was second in the NFL, and then 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.320 now it's at forty seven point eight, which is like 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.120 middle of the pack in the league. So the other 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.760 part this is a physical forty nine ers football team. 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.600 Deebo Samuel is not having his usual year. He has 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.000 fallen off bad. George Kittle looks healthy to me after 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.120 a missed portion of time and working his way back 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.639 from that mid season injury. And Juwan Jennings is a 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.480 big dude who will kick your butt on the edge 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.560 in the blocking game. If you do not attack him 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.480 and go get him. So all of those guys are 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:56.639 going to force you to tackle, and the numbers support that. 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.600 Juwan Jennings eighth in the NFL among receivers enforced missed tackles, 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.400 Deebo Samuel's tenth, and George Kittle is tied for eighth 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.879 among tight ends even though he missed a chunk of games. 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.480 Then the punch the pocket concept is a team philosophy. 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:11.960 Shots on goal, as we've calls it. Cater had to 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.200 teach tape rep on that first drive of the game. 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.560 The Nyers have twenty one fumbles this year. That's tied 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.879
