<v Speaker 2>the assistant coaches, We'll pick the week eleven games, and

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot more from the Baptist Health Studios inside

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Draft Time Podcast. Hey,

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 2>you know how we start. Let's go ahead and get

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>to my guest today. Joining me today on the Draft

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Time podcast is the great Ted Win, a staff writer

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>at The Athletic, but to me, he's more of a

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>modern day doctor Z. Go find his analysis both at

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>the Athletic but also on Twitter at FB Underscore film Analysis.

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I know you now that handle back in like twenty eleven, right, Ted?

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I did.

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:43.479
<v Speaker 4>Actually I was originally Raiders analysis, but I since moved

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 4>on to become an NFL staff writer, so I couldn't

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 4>stay with that handle anymore.

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 3>And I appreciate the.

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 4>Callback that doctor Z that he was my favorite football

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 4>writer growing up.

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh he was the best man, Like, just the storytelling

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>that paired with actual football analysis I think is probably

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>still unrivaled to this day. So yeah, that's high praise,

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 2>and that was intentional for each Ted. I love your work,

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 2>made you do good stuff. So you kind of mentioned

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>something there that I'm curious about because I take, you know,

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>a great liking to the league in general, obviously my

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 2>job as Miami Dolphins, but I've always been curious about,

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, someone that covers the league from that standpoint.

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 2>But you obviously, have you know a little bit more

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 2>of a I guess centered focus on the Raiders because

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 2>you've just known them for so long. I'm curious how

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>you balance those two things in terms of covering the

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>league but also just having such a you know, in

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>depth insight to the Raiders.

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 4>Does that make sense? Yeah, I mean, you know, I

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 4>covered them for a long time. I've been you know,

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 4>watching them my whole life, and but I still I

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 4>still remain pretty objective. If anything, I'm more harder on

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 4>the Raiders than I have other teams. But you know,

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.839
<v Speaker 4>I'm still doing a podcast about the Raiders with the Athletics,

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 4>so I still have have to have a little bit

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't say I focused more on them, but on Sunday,

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, Yeah, that's definitely one of the games that

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 4>are in my rotation because I have to do the

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 4>podcast and know what's going on with them. But I mean,

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, I tried to watch every rewatch every game,

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 4>and I don't think it's too difficult to you know,

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 4>focus on a league but still have a little bit

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more focused on the Raiders.

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it makes sense that there was I was doing

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback website before I got to the Dolphins and

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 2>was also doing my Dolphins podcast that was before here,

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>and I always found one side pulled me a little

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 2>bit away from the other, and it was I enjoyed it,

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>but there was definitely something I had to figure out

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>in terms of how to make that, you know, more

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 2>sustainable on both sides. But you do a great job

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>with it. Enough about all that stuff here, let's go

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 2>ahead and start with Dolphins and Raiders Sunday here at

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 2>hard Rock Stadium. And I always start my podcast with

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>the cross town or I guess the oppositions reporter, analyst,

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, beat writer with the quarterback position. But I

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>think it's time today to deviate from that plan. And

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe this is too much of a blanket question, but

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I trust you over anyone, to provide some insight here.

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 2>What's been the biggest change going from Josh McDaniels in

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 2>a three and five start to now coach Pierce and

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>being two to zero under him. What's the biggest change

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>there from that that coaching change.

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean it sounds cheesy and cliche, but it's

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:24.359
<v Speaker 4>just culture, you know. I think with Josh McDaniels, clearly

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 4>everyone felt like there was a dark cloud hanging over

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 4>the facility. They couldn't have fun, they couldn't be themselves,

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, every day it was just about getting criticized

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 4>and not being able to express yourself and just you

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 4>know working and quote quote the Patriots away. But now

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 4>with the Antonio Pierce and now with Josh McDaniel's gone.

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it was almost comical some of the quotes

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 4>that some of the things that were coming out after

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 4>Josh McDaniels was fired. I mean, you know, guys were

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.839
<v Speaker 4>like having impromptu wrestling matches in the locker room. You know,

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 4>they put a basketball, little mini basketball hoop into the

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 4>locker room. You know, I haven't seen DeVante's Adam smile

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 4>in like months, and then he's in a locker room,

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, laughing it up with his guys, dancing and

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.160
<v Speaker 4>all these things. So it was just a cultural shift,

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 4>and I think players are just at a much better

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 4>place mentally, and that's the biggest difference.

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 2>And winning certainly provides that, you know, culture boosts as well.

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>The cigars have become quite a popular postgame habit for

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>those guys after those last two victories there, And yeah,

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 2>it's interesting in my podcast, preview in the game earlier

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 2>in the week and talking about how this is a

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 2>roster that kind of was assembled by you know, now

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>at this point three different regimes in terms of Gruden

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Mayok to McDaniels and now in the post McDaniels era.

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 2>So it's tough to cobble together a roster like that,

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 2>but it sounds like or seems like they've found a

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 2>way to make it work in the Antonio Pierce era. Here,

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 2>let's go ahead and get to the quarterback position. That's

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.280
<v Speaker 2>a big spot they made a change at this year

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 2>after again a big contract for Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason.

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 2>What have you seen from Aiden o'c and his two

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>starts after some spot duty earlier in the season.

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 3>I think he one, he's extremely accurate.

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's the first thing that jumps out is

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 4>just how well he's able to place the ball exactly

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 4>where he wants to. And that's two different skills, accuracy

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 4>and ball placement. Accuracy is the ability to get the

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 4>ball where you want, and ball placement is knowing where

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 4>the ball needs to be relative to you know where

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 4>the defenders are in the route. For example, you know

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 4>if you're throwing a fade, You're not always going to

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 4>put it right in front of the guy. If your

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 4>receivers well covered, then you want to throw it back shoulder.

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 3>So that's example ball placement.

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 4>I feel like Ada O'Connell has a you know, he's

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 4>very accurate and he's a strong sense of ball placement.

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 4>And you saw that on his lone touchdown pass to

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 4>Michael Mayer against Jets, where he was covered and he

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 4>put it in only spot where Mayor.

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Could get it and it ended up being a touchdown.

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.160
<v Speaker 4>And that's another thing that separates O'Connell and garoppolo is

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 4>O'Connell's giving his guys a chance. You know, he's taking chances,

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 4>and he's a little bit more aggressive than Garoppolo. And

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 4>I think that's one of the major reasons why he

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.479
<v Speaker 4>decided to make a change, just because they just needed

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more aggression and some more deep ball

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 4>ability from their quarterback.

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 2>He played quite a bit of snaps in college, right O'Connell.

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 3>He did. He played a lot of snaps.

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't have the exact numbers in front of me,

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 4>but he played a tons of snaps. He's very seasoned

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 4>and you know, one of the first things that people

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 4>noticed about him in training camp was just how well

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 4>he handled the operation as far as play calls, and

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, the Patriot system which that are still running now,

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 4>can't get pretty complicated at the line of scrimmage because

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 4>the quarterbacks have so many responsibility, but O'Connell is able

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 4>to handle that very smoothly, and it was one of

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 4>the things that just got people talking a little bit.

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's exactly what I was going for there, because

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 2>it seems like maybe the ball comes out a little

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>bit harder, or maybe just the decision making happens a

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit faster, because it seemed like when garoppolos and

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 2>that there was so many sets and O'Connor's taking his

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 2>share of sacks as well, But just in terms of

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 2>watching the tape, it seems like things happen a little

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 2>bit faster with him under center there for the for

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the Las Vegas Raiders, and you mentioned that the touchdown

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>pass that Michael Mayer scored in the game against the

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Jets on in the night, which, by the way, I

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 2>think all Dolphins fans were huge Raider fans that night.

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 2>We always love seeing our division rival go down on

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 2>in prime time. So that was a tip of the

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>cap to the Raiders there. But you know, you mentioned Mayor,

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned him as well.

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 3>There.

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 2>This offense, like it features a lot of weapons. I

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 2>think that gets overlooked across the league a lot from this,

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, non Raiders perspective. But what have you seen

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>in terms of how you know this offense is operating

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 2>at its best when they have Devonte Adams and Jacoby

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Myers and Josh Jacobs and Michael Mayer. That's a that's

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 2>a really good list of eligibles. What does this offense

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.960
<v Speaker 2>do that makes that group function at its finest?

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I would argue that, you know, we

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 4>haven't seen them really function at their finance yet. I mean,

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 4>they had a long streak where they couldn't even score

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.839
<v Speaker 4>twenty points and they couldn't score twenty points against the

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 4>Jets this week. But I thought it was a pretty

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 4>solid offensive performance considering the Jets might have the best

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 4>defense in an NFL. But I think they're still trying

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.199
<v Speaker 4>to figure out how to best utilize everyone.

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 3>DeVante Adams.

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Obviously, there's getting a lot of double teams, a lot

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 4>of attention, but that doesn't mean you could.

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Just ignore your number one target.

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 4>And they're kind of figuring out different ways of getting

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 4>him the ball, but there's just too many stretches where

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 4>he disappears for too long, and he's just too good

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 4>of a player not to try to figure out a

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 4>way to get him the ball. And you know, one

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 4>of the ways you can't get him the ball despite

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 4>throwing it throwing to him deep. The only way to

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 4>beat double coverage is going deep. I mean, you guys

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 4>see that with Tyreek Hill all the time. You know,

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 4>if he's getting doubled, you got to run past that

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 4>second safety or that second bracket defender.

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 3>You can't do it short.

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 4>So that's that's another reason why O'Connell is an upgrade

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 4>over Garoppolo is he you know, he has the arm

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 4>and deep accuracy to be able to take advantage of

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 4>some of those things, and hopefully we see more of

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 4>that to Kobe Myers has been really good at taking

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 4>advantage of one on one matchups away from Adams, and

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 4>Mayer is kind of finding his role within the offense.

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.559
<v Speaker 4>You know, for rookie tight ends is always tough. Is

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.560
<v Speaker 4>a very tough position to learn it and come in

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.440
<v Speaker 4>and be productive in your first year, but we're seeing

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 4>flashes of him making place here and there, and Hunter

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 4>Renfro is kind of making his way back into the

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 4>offense after kind of getting blackballed by Josh McDaniel.

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.439
<v Speaker 2>I was watching Jtoshullivan's last aid and O'Connell break down

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 2>and he was saying, de number thirteen, guys knew I'm

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 2>not familiar with thirteen's game. It's like, yeah, he was

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 2>there before, catching a bunch of passes in the previous regime,

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 2>but he kind of got with the doghouse recently, or

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 2>I should say before recently with the coaching change now.

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 2>So it's good to see Renfro going back again. One

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 2>more question on the offense here, Ted, because you know

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Colton Miller didn't play in the game against the Jets

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.839
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday, and just looking at the raw numbers in

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.679
<v Speaker 2>the tape as well, he's clearly the best offensive lineman

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 2>on that team. Do you think he plays in the

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.319
<v Speaker 2>game on Sunday? I know it's early in the way here.

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Do you think he plays And what's the impact of

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 2>having him versus not having him for the Raiders offensive line.

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 4>My guess is he will play. I mean and I'm

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, I I don't know. I haven't been at

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 4>practices or I haven't talked to my podcast hosts who

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 4>are on the beat every day. But just based on

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.439
<v Speaker 4>his reputation and what he's done in the past as

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 4>far as playing hurt and coming you know, getting playing

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 4>so many games and just being tough, you know, I

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 4>think he's going to make his best effort to I

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 4>think he was closed last week but just couldn't do it.

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.839
<v Speaker 3>So my guess is he does play.

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 4>This offensive line is a you know, it's not a

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 4>bad pass blocking unit, but they haven't They're not a

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 4>very physical group as far as running the ball. The

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.559
<v Speaker 4>physicality comes more comes more from Josh Jacobs and and

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 4>his ability to just run through tackles and just lower

0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 4>his shoulder and get yard after contact. But so far

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.439
<v Speaker 4>this group just isn't really able to move people off

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 4>the ball. But since Pierce has taken over, they've really

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 4>made a commitment to running the ball and trying to

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 4>wear out defenses and pop some runs like they did

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 4>against Jets, where you know, they weren't very efficient throughout

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 4>the day, but later in the game they popped a

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.120
<v Speaker 4>few critical runs.

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 2>You think that's a plan that can work against an

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 2>offense that has as much explosiveness as the Miami Dolphins, because,

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 2>like obviously the Jets, they want to play the game

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 2>the same way, right, they want to put you in

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.079
<v Speaker 2>the mud and make it, you know, a sixteen to

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty ugly kind of defensive game. Do you think that

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 2>can translate here against an offense that typically scores in

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the thirties.

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 4>No, I think you have to be a lot more aggressive.

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, unless you're getting stops, which I think will

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 4>be extremely difficult against the Dolphins, and you want to

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 4>shorten a game, but it's you know, it's gonna be

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 4>hard getting stops against the Dolphins, and I think you

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 4>have to be more aggressive and use Josh Jacobs in

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.559
<v Speaker 4>a different way, you know, maybe find some ways to

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 4>get them some screens or use him as the receiver

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 4>and have him punished the defense that way. But just

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 4>trying to run up the middle against the Dolphins run defense,

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.439
<v Speaker 4>that I think is improving. I thought they had a

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 4>pretty good game against the Chiefs. I don't think that's

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 4>gonna be a winning business model.

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's after that first game or so, they kind

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 2>of had some leaks against the Chargers, but it's been

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot better since then, so trending up in that direction.

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 2>I think the new scheme is kind of starting to stitch.

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 2>It seems together a little bit here under Vic Fangio,

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Ted Winn here from the Athletic my guest breaking down

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins and Raiders on Sunday from hard Rock Stadium. We

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>talked about the offense. Go ahead and go to the

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 2>other side of the football here, and you'd be crazy

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 2>to start anywhere else. Besides one of the best damn

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 2>players in the entire league. You know, Crosby gets so

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 2>much attention in terms of doubles and chips, just guys

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 2>getting in his way. Yet here he is on the

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 2>cusp of another double digit sack season nine and a half.

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy how productive he is. Like, I guess my

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.319
<v Speaker 2>question is simple, how does he do it? Because when

0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 2>I watched him on tape, I see, you know a

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of power people, movers that you know, really operate

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Graham's game heavy scheme to create these chances for Max, Like,

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>is that what you see? Why is he so productive

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>even though he gets as much attention as the Micah

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Parsons and the Miles Garretts of the World.

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:15.680
<v Speaker 3>One.

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.080
<v Speaker 4>He has, you know, freaky movement skills as far as

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 4>burst and change his directions, and just so good with

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 4>his hands. I mean, he's like, you know, if you

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 4>just watch him and you watch how he uses his hands,

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 4>he's like a judo master. You know, he's able to

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 4>use blockers momentum against him, like he's he's just tossing,

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, three hundred pound lineman out the way, not

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 4>with power, it's just you know, he just knows how

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 4>to just move his body and get them to move

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 4>one way and throw them in a different direction. And

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 4>tight ends are just no match for him. But I

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 4>think the one thing with him is she's just so relentless.

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 4>And you know when you watch him at practice, you

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 4>watch him in training camp, every single rep he's going

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and ten percent, and it shows up on

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 4>game day. You know, he plays a one hundred percent

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 4>of the snaps. He doesn't take any snaps off. And

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 4>then you know, you saw late in the game against

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 4>Late in every game, you know he's making plays in

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 4>those on those last drives despite not taking a break.

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 4>So he's relentless. He works extremely hard every single day.

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 4>You know, his stamina, he might be the best conditioned

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 4>defensive player in the league.

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Ninety eight percent snaps right, That's that's crazy, man. There's

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 2>not many guys that can do that at that position.

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Like I always get hyped up when I see Christian

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Wilkins and Zach's either play on like eighty five percent,

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 2>But man, ninety eight when you're you know, it's a

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 2>full sprint. Every thirty seconds or so is is a lot,

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 2>and he's he's impressive.

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 5>Man.

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>It's fun to watch him play. Hopefully not too much

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 2>against the Miami Dolphins. Let's go ahead and finish up here.

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Two more questions. That's one in the secondary, because you know,

0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Faison's been down for a while. I can't imagine

0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 2>a meet Robertson plays after that scene on Sunday Night.

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully he's okay and doing better. Jack Jones just got there.

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>How do you think this Raiders secondary will handle the

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins speed and the weapons they have on the perimeter

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 2>with you know what relatively looks like a pretty inexperienced

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 2>group right now, with you know, the aforementioned Jones and

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Jacorey and Bennett, et cetera, et cetera.

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's gonna be a problem. Nate Hobbs, I feel

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 4>like is a very underrated nickel corner and he's gonna

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 4>be good in slot. But as far as the outside

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 4>corners go, you have Marcus Peters, who you know, Marcus Peters.

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Marcus Peters. He's not the fastest corner.

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 4>He's not great as a pure coverage guy, but he

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 4>is very intelligent. He knows how to bate quarterbacks into

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 4>uh you know, into batted passes and interceptions. But he

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 4>just doesn't have that speed to hang with the fast receivers.

0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 4>And he's gonna be going against two of the fastest

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 4>in Blattle and Hill. And on the other side you

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 4>have Jacorey and Bennett who will probably be filling in

0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 4>for a Meek Robertson. And Bennett his an elite athlete,

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.160
<v Speaker 4>but you know, he has a long way to go

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 4>as far as holding in on his technique and reads

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 4>and things like that. Uh So, you know, the outside

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.400
<v Speaker 4>corner is gonna be a problem, and I think they're

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 4>going to have to keep two safety deep a lot

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:10.760
<v Speaker 4>in this game, if not the entire game. The safeties

0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.879
<v Speaker 4>for the Raiders have been playing pretty well. Epps from

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 4>the Eagles and Trayvon Morig, who was the second round

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 4>pick a few years ago, is having a career type

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 4>of year. But it's gonna be a problem that they

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:27.840
<v Speaker 4>can't help in the run because the Raiders front has

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.680
<v Speaker 4>been pretty soft against the run.

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's and with Devon a chanback, maybe the Dolphins

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.439
<v Speaker 2>can get a little bit more of their you know,

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.919
<v Speaker 2>balance to have an offense, you know, prior to his injury,

0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.879
<v Speaker 2>with how they were cooking those few games that he

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 2>was up and going ted. Your demeanor and kind of

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 2>the answers of the questions sort of answered this final

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 2>question for me already, But I'm gonna pose it because

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I do every single week when I interview a reporter

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 2>analyst from the other sideline. The Raiders win this game

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.200
<v Speaker 2>if and then you fill in the blank.

0:17:55.680 --> 0:18:01.120
<v Speaker 3>The Raiders win this game if Max Crosby sex two

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.920
<v Speaker 3>of five times and it's completely unblockable and is able

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 3>to get to the quarterback in less than two point

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 3>five seconds, consist on a consistent basis, and they somehow

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.879
<v Speaker 3>find a way to run for over one hundred and

0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 3>fifty yards.

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 2>That's to order to order. Yeah, dead win. The athletic man.

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 2>We always learned something talking to you. I appreciate your time,

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 2>and I want to promote some of your work here,

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.879
<v Speaker 2>so I have I'm very long winded with these. I

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 2>kind of followed Mike McDaniel's lead on this. Three ways

0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to pose this number. One, tell us the

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 2>name of your podcast. I didn't check the name of

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 2>your Raiders podcast. Two, what is something Dolphins, Ceddrick you've

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:39.879
<v Speaker 2>worked on this year, because I know you're doing some

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:41.879
<v Speaker 2>film stuff and the Dolphins have to be in there,

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I imagine. And then three, what are you working on

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:44.960
<v Speaker 2>coming up that you're excited about?

0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:45.439
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 4>So my Raiders podcast is called State of Nation and

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 4>that's on Apple, Spotify, wherever you want to find your

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:51.920
<v Speaker 4>podcasts and.

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Be let it.

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:56.200
<v Speaker 4>I wrote an article last week actually about the Miami

0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.200
<v Speaker 4>Dolphins and how they can kind of get over the

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:03.520
<v Speaker 4>hump and be these teams with winning records, which they

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.399
<v Speaker 4>have had trouble doing. You know. I talked about some

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 4>of the things like just being able to get down

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.359
<v Speaker 4>to find the checkdowns a little bit quicker, and some

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 4>improvements they can make in the run game. I talked

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:19.160
<v Speaker 4>about how I thought Vic Fangio's defense is starting to

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:20.880
<v Speaker 4>finally look like a Fangio defense.

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:23.400
<v Speaker 3>I thought they did some really good things against the Chiefs.

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 4>Obviously, getting that defensive back group healthy and together is

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:29.119
<v Speaker 4>a huge deal.

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:31.880
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, check that out on the athletic.

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Good stuff, man, I appy sure time today. Ted enjoyed

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.120
<v Speaker 2>the game on Sunday, No problem, you too, and there

0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 2>he goes, Ted win. Really fun conversation there ahead of

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Sunday's game against the Raiders. Let's go ahead and take

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.399
<v Speaker 2>our first break right here. Come back on the other side.

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk a little bit about two a

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 2>tongue of my Low's leadership. We'll also hear from the

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 2>assistant coaches. That's all next to Draft Time Podcast, your

0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 2>host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. Second

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 2>segment here on a Thursday edition of the Draft Time Podcast.

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Big game tonight between Baltimore and Cincinnati. Want the Bengals

0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.400
<v Speaker 2>to win that game, give the Dolphins a chance to

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:13.960
<v Speaker 2>make some ground up in the race among the divisional

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.720
<v Speaker 2>leaders in terms of seeding for the AFC playoffs coming

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.280
<v Speaker 2>up here in just two months. Man, it's coming up fast.

0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Quicker than that.

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Actually, what eight weeks away? Seven weeks away?

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Either way?

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I digress, but yeah, you want the Bengals to win

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 2>that game. Time we'll pick the games here on the

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 2>third segment, But I was playing with some scenarios on

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 2>the ESPN Playoff Predictor, which is back up, by the way,

0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot better than the knockoff versions I've found. I've

0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 2>been really into that since the Chiefs game, because one,

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I've been bored that we'd had a game last week,

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 2>but also just kind of want to see what my

0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 2>potential expectations should be for how not just the Dolphins

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:50.160
<v Speaker 2>season can play out from here forward, but how other

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 2>clubs can. And basically it comes down to this for me,

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.440
<v Speaker 2>is that Miami, I think, is in a good position

0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:57.919
<v Speaker 2>to make a run at the one seed. And if

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 2>you go look at ESPN's Football is it the FPI,

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.440
<v Speaker 2>the Football Power Index or maybe the analytics, I'm not

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 2>sure exactly what it's called, but they have percentage odds

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 2>for each team's chances of finishing in each potential seed

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 2>in the conference, and Miami's playoff odds are like ninety

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 2>nine percent, and a lot of that is because of

0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 2>where we stand with our upcoming schedule, where the Bills

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:24.920
<v Speaker 2>stand and their upcoming schedule, it's pretty much not I

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 2>don't want to say a guarantee because that's not true,

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:28.920
<v Speaker 2>but in terms of the numbers and the analytics and

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 2>the models, they believe it's a shoe win that the

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins win the AFC East and their number one seed

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 2>potential is like nineteen percent, which is there's one of

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.920
<v Speaker 2>three teams that have any percentage hope of that one

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.159
<v Speaker 2>seed right now. The two seed was like twenty nine percent,

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and then the three seed was like fifteen percent. So basically,

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins, according to thousands and thousands of simulations, should

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 2>obtain one of the top three seeds. And you guys know,

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.199
<v Speaker 2>the one seed is the most important one because you

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:00.960
<v Speaker 2>get a week off, and if the Dolphins team can

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 2>get a week off and then come back for a

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 2>home game against the lowest remaining seed in the AFC, gosh,

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I like our chances at that point to qualify for

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the AFC Championship Game, or essentially the same thing with

0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:16.199
<v Speaker 2>the two seed, where you would then host, you know,

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 2>the highest remaining seed in the AFC if you win

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.360
<v Speaker 2>your two verse seven game. And I was just thinking

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>about this, the possibility of maybe like Jacksonville getting the

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>three seed. I'm trying to think about the best matchups

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:32.240
<v Speaker 2>for wildcard versus Divisional round weekend. Obviously, the one seed

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>is the ideal thing because all of a sudden, you

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 2>get one upset, you get one you know, Steelers team

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:39.879
<v Speaker 2>that picks off somebody they shouldn't have, and you're playing

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:43.199
<v Speaker 2>in the AFC Divisional round against like Kenny Pickett, right,

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 2>that would be pretty nice. Not likely, but it's a possibility,

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 2>And so just kind of playing around with that, Like

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:51.879
<v Speaker 2>there are different avenues where you could potentially see a

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 2>scenario where Miami like faces you know, Cleveland with PJ.

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Wahs Dorian Thompson Robinson in the first round, and then

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:04.960
<v Speaker 2>based upon how things play out from there, maybe you

0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 2>wind up getting Houston or Jacksonville in that second round.

0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Like there's a world I'm trying to say that exists

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 2>where you kind of have an Eagles like schedule in

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 2>last year's playoffs. There's a possibility of that happening long

0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:20.000
<v Speaker 2>way down the road. Take care of business, win your

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:22.920
<v Speaker 2>football games, and put yourself in position. And I've talked

0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.399
<v Speaker 2>about it for weeks now. Eleven and three was always

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 2>the minimum going into Christmas Eve to me, and that's

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:30.639
<v Speaker 2>still where we're at right now. So just some interesting

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:33.359
<v Speaker 2>stuff there I thought was worth talking about. It's the

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 2>rest of these next eight weeks are gonna be so

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:37.359
<v Speaker 2>fun because you're gonna have Dolphins games to keep track of.

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 2>But there's so many critical AFC matchups among the teams

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 2>who exist near the top of the standings currently, and

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:49.200
<v Speaker 2>that should be there going forward, you know, into Thanksgiving,

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 2>it into December and into January, and a lot of

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:53.560
<v Speaker 2>those games are in primetime too, so it should be

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun for us to, you know, as

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins fans and get a chance to really, you know,

0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 2>immerse ourselves in the National Football if you're like me,

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 2>like I love watching NFL games and football games, but

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 2>it's so much better when the Dolphins are good and

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 2>you have a vested interest in games. The Buffalo Denver game,

0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I was living and dine with that game. Man, that

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 2>was like heart rate, like standing up. That was fun.

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:16.119
<v Speaker 2>It was fun to watch that. I really enjoyed watching

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:18.119
<v Speaker 2>a team that we needed to lose lose that game.

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 2>And so just I think that's how the next eight

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 2>weeks can go for Dolphins fans like enjoy it, embrace

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:24.200
<v Speaker 2>it and really try to soak it in this year.

0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk a little bit here about two a tongue

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 2>of by Low's leadership, because Barry Jackson posted a great

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:32.159
<v Speaker 2>story on the Miami Herald earlier today. I think it

0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>was maybe it was on Wednesday night, I'm not sure,

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 2>but it goes back to the snap in Germany, right,

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:42.560
<v Speaker 2>the failed snap, and to a you know, the minute something.

0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 2>The minute he takes to the podium for a press

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 2>conference after a game, he always assigns the blame of

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:51.679
<v Speaker 2>whatever the biggest fault of the game was to himself,

0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:54.199
<v Speaker 2>like a leader would, right. And then Connor Williams came

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:56.960
<v Speaker 2>out and mentioned that the snap was obviously bad. It's

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 2>my fault, right, like I that was a bad snap.

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 2>You can tell clearly off of his frame. And so

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Barry went around and asked some folks in the locker

0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 2>room about why that is important for the quarterback to

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:12.240
<v Speaker 2>do that. And so Austin Jackson, who was drafted to

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:14.360
<v Speaker 2>the same year as Tua, you know, seventeen or No.

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:17.439
<v Speaker 2>Thirteen picks after Tua was, was asked about it and

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Jackson said this, Tua has never once pointed the finger

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 2>at anyone he's very respectful. And then Duke Riley popped

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 2>up and had this to say. I know one thing.

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 2>He will never say anything as anyone's fault. It's always

0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 2>his fault. Everything is always uplifting with Tua, uplifting with

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 2>positivity and always reflecting how much he needs to improve.

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.200
<v Speaker 2>He's a great person to have on your team. Anyone

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 2>would do anything for Tua. Everyone loves him. He spends

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 2>his time with everyone on the team. Everyone on the

0:25:44.520 --> 0:25:46.880
<v Speaker 2>team has been to his house. I love the guy,

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:49.479
<v Speaker 2>his family, everything about him. He's someone you want your

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 2>kids to be Like, I mean, oh, man, like we

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 2>debate this guy. I don't you guys know how I

0:25:57.040 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 2>feel about the quarterback. There's debates about this guy that

0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:07.359
<v Speaker 2>like what are we doing? Man? Like the kind of

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 2>guy that you want your daughter to marry, right, And

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 2>he's like an MVP candidate, and he has the Dolphins

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:15.360
<v Speaker 2>in the best position. Like I keep seeing these arguments

0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:18.080
<v Speaker 2>about like, well, I don't know they beat the Jets,

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 2>or oh, they're five and five. It's like, use your eyes,

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Just use your damn eyes and tell me the Dolphins

0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 2>are not superior to ninety percent of the teams in

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.199
<v Speaker 2>the NFL right now, like vastly superior, just based on

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 2>the eye test. Your quarterback is the primary reason for that. Okay,

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 2>that's all it comes down to. Your quarterback is awesome.

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 2>He's twenty five years old. He's probably gonna get a

0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 2>massive extension here any day now. Not any day now,

0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 2>but in the you know, coming future. He's that character,

0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 2>He's that kind of leader. I mean, I just don't

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 2>get it. Maybe I don't know. I know, it's like

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:54.000
<v Speaker 2>confirming priors and stuff, but like, what are we doing

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.680
<v Speaker 2>like this? We've been waiting for thirty years for this guy.

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 2>That's that's the point. Let's pivot off that and hear

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 2>from the assistant and I want to get a little

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:06.120
<v Speaker 2>bit of crowdsourcing production here on the podcast. I want

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>to know what you guys think about the sound bites

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:11.720
<v Speaker 2>on the show. Do you like hearing more of coach

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 2>and players and the assistants? Do you want to hear less?

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Is it right on par with what you want to hear?

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Just let me know in the comments. I'm gonna do

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:22.400
<v Speaker 2>three sound bites here highlights, one each from Vic Fangio,

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Frank Smith, and Butch Barry. Let's go ahead and start

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:27.719
<v Speaker 2>here with Butch Berry, who had the whole room laughing

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 2>when he was talking a little bit about offensive line

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 2>play and the importance in his belief of playing multiple

0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 2>sports to get those different body movements down. So I

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 2>ask coach, because that's like right up my alley. I

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:43.680
<v Speaker 2>love hearing about that. And if my kids want to

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 2>get into sports when they get old enough, I'm gonna

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:47.760
<v Speaker 2>tell them your best bet forward is to play as

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 2>many sports as possible because those natural movements that come

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 2>with different sports will benefit you the most in the

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 2>long run. So I ask coach, what sport do you

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:59.640
<v Speaker 2>think lends itself the most carryover for offensive line footwork.

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 2>He gave us this gem.

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 1>People have always said wrestling because of the balance. I

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:05.880
<v Speaker 1>think you could take application. I think you can take

0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 1>application from both. Then there's a lot of people say

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 1>pass protection and how you play defensive basketball would have

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 1>application in terms of how you're trying to move your feet,

0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:15.880
<v Speaker 1>leverage to the hoop and the guy with the ball

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 1>because that's pass protection. So there's a lot of things

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:22.960
<v Speaker 1>you can take from every sport. In hockey, I know

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the movement would be different, but understanding how to leverage

0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:29.119
<v Speaker 1>and have spatial awareness. Like, so every sport there's application

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 1>you can take and move it to offensive line or

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:34.800
<v Speaker 1>move to any sport. Really, I mean started to learning

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:37.120
<v Speaker 1>how to try to play tennis. Get my picked by

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 1>my wife, but you know, but anyways, good.

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Job and my man JT there giving us clean audio

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 2>to make it a kid friendly show. Here on the

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Draft Time podcast, Let's go next to coach Frank Smith,

0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 2>who was asked about the challenges of the looks you

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 2>get from a defense on a given Sunday. I always

0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:55.840
<v Speaker 2>love this stuff because you spend the whole week game

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 2>playing for what you expect you might get, and then

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:00.800
<v Speaker 2>if somebody throws a curveball that you have prepared for,

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 2>which that's you know, part of the deal of coaching, right,

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 2>But how you adjust the stuff that you didn't see

0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:09.240
<v Speaker 2>on tape, it's so fascinating to me. So here's coach

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 2>talking about the challenges of what you expect to see

0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 2>on tape versus the unknown that teams could throw at

0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 2>you any given week.

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 5>Each week it kind of goes there's it's along those lines,

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean, each week it's kind of you assess your opponent, yourselves,

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 5>where you're at, you know, your anticipated guys who can

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:35.640
<v Speaker 5>be available for the game. What's the defense trend to do?

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 5>How can we, you know, use our matchup guys to

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:44.560
<v Speaker 5>attack the defense, you know, for the width of it,

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 5>in the length of the field. So I think that

0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 5>each week the checklist is, you know, as we're talking

0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 5>about what we're trying to hit, maybe one works in

0:29:52.920 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 5>front of the other others there, but ultimately it's kind

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 5>of the same stuff we've been talking about as far

0:29:57.200 --> 0:30:01.960
<v Speaker 5>as how a lot of times if you don't expand

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 5>the field allows them to compress. And the ability to

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 5>not compress to compress us allows us to create space

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 5>in the defense. And I think ultimately that's what offense

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 5>is trying to do and attack the space.

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:14.320
<v Speaker 2>And then I want to finish up here to promote

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:16.719
<v Speaker 2>some of my own work that we have coming up

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 2>for you guys, The Too a Tongue of I Low

0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 2>a video breakdown we did about a month and a

0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 2>half ago, did over twenty thousand views. Very excited about

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:26.600
<v Speaker 2>that number. We have a feature coming up on Bradley

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Chubb talking about his work in the run game and

0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 2>how he creates chances for his teammates, both as a

0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 2>pass Rusher and in the run game. So keep an

0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 2>eye out on YouTube for that. I'll promote the hell

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:37.960
<v Speaker 2>out of that episode. But I want to go ahead

0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and play Vic Fangio's audio here talking about the impact

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 2>of Phillips and Chubb and when you know it, you

0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:47.840
<v Speaker 2>love when this happens, confirming my previous hypothesis on Bradley Chubb.

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, in Jalen's case, he's just you know, he missed

0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 6>those four games and took him a game or two

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 6>to get his timing back, his feel back, and you know,

0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 6>and I think he's playing really good now. And I

0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 6>think Bradley's played good the entire season. You know, everybody

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:09.480
<v Speaker 6>gets caught up in numbers at times, and he didn't

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:12.840
<v Speaker 6>have X amount of sacks early on, but he's had

0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 6>some here lately. But I think he's been playing good

0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 6>all year. It's good to see for him, happy for him.

0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:19.600
<v Speaker 4>You know, he had.

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:22.720
<v Speaker 6>A tough stretching there endeaver to three years we were together.

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 6>He was hurt a lot and never could get into

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 6>a groove. And now I think everybody's seeing the player

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:29.040
<v Speaker 6>that he can be.

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 2>One more break and then segment number three the Week

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.760
<v Speaker 2>eleven NFL Picks. That's next Drive Time podcast, your host

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. Oh yeah,

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 2>segment three on a Thursday. You know what time that means.

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 2>It is time to pick the games for week number

0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 2>eleven in the National Football League. And I'm gonna be

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:52.000
<v Speaker 2>honest with you guys. I went ten and six last week,

0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 2>and I'm glad that I went ten six because the

0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 2>two losses that really changed the win loss total for

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 2>your boy came on Sunday Night and Monday Night football,

0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 2>with the Jets and Bills both falling by the wayside.

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:07.800
<v Speaker 2>So we go ten and six. We fall to one

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:10.920
<v Speaker 2>oh four and forty eight on the season, which is

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 2>a little bit under sixty nine percent nights, So gotta

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 2>get that back up on the positive side of seventy.

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and pick the games this week and

0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 2>cue the music right here. Starting tonight in Baltimore, I

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 2>believe it is want the Bengals to win, taking the

0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Ravens even though they're gonna be down. It looks like

0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Ronnie Stanley Marlon Humphrey could be down as well, and

0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 2>they're missing somebody else to and I forget who it is,

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 2>but either way, The Bengals also don't have T Higgins.

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Trey Hendrickson will play despite that nasty look injury he

0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 2>took on Sunday, but big game in the AFC North.

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I think these teams in this division eventually will campbellize themselves.

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:48.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that's why Miami finishes above the AFC North

0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 2>champion in the seeding at the end of the year,

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 2>and CINCINNTI winning this game tonight would help go in

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:57.520
<v Speaker 2>that direction. The Browns, ah Man, I'm taking the Browns

0:32:57.560 --> 0:32:59.400
<v Speaker 2>over the Steelers. I don't think they won games because

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:01.640
<v Speaker 2>of their offense and their quarterback wasn't that good. And

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that they can make a game plan for

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 2>DTR to beat what I believe is still a very

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:08.880
<v Speaker 2>pet Steelers team. Dolphins over Raiders, you guys know about that,

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:13.520
<v Speaker 2>The Lions over the Bears, Jags over the Titans. Titans

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:15.800
<v Speaker 2>like they have rough road ahead, and I don't really

0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 2>believe in their offense right now, so scoring six and

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:20.000
<v Speaker 2>thirteen points of games just not going to do it

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 2>for you. Give me Jacksonville and that one to bounce back.

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Give me the Chargers over the Packers. I was big

0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:26.960
<v Speaker 2>on the Packers this offseason, but it just hasn't worked

0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 2>out that well. The offense looks really really mundane. Houston

0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:32.200
<v Speaker 2>over Arizona. Want to take the Cardinals here. I think

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:33.960
<v Speaker 2>that Kyler Murray's gonna get the Cardinals out of the

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:36.479
<v Speaker 2>top three picks of the draft, which I depending how

0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:37.560
<v Speaker 2>you look at it, I guess I don't know is

0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:39.800
<v Speaker 2>a good thing or bad thing. But it's nice to

0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 2>have a good quarterback back in the league because we

0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 2>don't have enough of those right now. Give me Dallas

0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 2>over Carolina, Washington over the Giants. I'm not gonna pick

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:48.800
<v Speaker 2>the Giants of the rest of the year. The Panthers

0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:51.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe not either. We'll see the Niners over the Bucks,

0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo over the Jets, and look like this is a

0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:59.360
<v Speaker 2>game where the Bills are like vastly superior, but they

0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:01.959
<v Speaker 2>always This is like the old Patriots and Dolphins rivalry.

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Like the Jets are never good, but they always beat

0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:04.800
<v Speaker 2>the top team in the division.

0:34:04.840 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Somehow.

0:34:05.480 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 2>They already got the win at home. I don't make

0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:09.840
<v Speaker 2>it this week in Orchard Park. I think Buffalo bounces

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:11.800
<v Speaker 2>back in a big way this week over the Jets.

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:13.799
<v Speaker 2>Give me the Rams over the Seahawks. For the season,

0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:16.480
<v Speaker 2>sweep with Matthew Stafford coming back. I like Seattle, but

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 2>they play a lot of bad football, man, so I

0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:19.560
<v Speaker 2>think this is the week where they kind of the

0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Rams always get them, so they'll get them again. Here

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:23.960
<v Speaker 2>for a sweep the Vikings over the Broncos on Sunday

0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Night football, and then a big, big, big game on

0:34:26.200 --> 0:34:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Monday Night for Dolphins fans in the league in general,

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Eagles over the Chiefs, which would be really nice for

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 2>that one seed pursuit to get back in place. So

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:37.280
<v Speaker 2>those are the week eleven picks. That is the Thursday podcast.

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:39.879
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back tomorrow and have the great Trent Green

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:42.680
