And on today's show, well, 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:37.559 the Dolphins are streaking. 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:39.920 Thanks twin s win. 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:40.720 Win win win. 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.120 Yeah, everything goes win win. 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:48.520 Win win. As Jalen Waddle said again again again three 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:50.519 in a row, back to five and six. We got 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.560 the Thanksgiving Day game setup we all wanted before we 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:56.920 talk about winning that one. Let's go ahead and focus 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.560 on the thirty four to fifteen thumping of the Patriots 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.600 here at home. Takeaways, a game scripts, some stats we'll 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.319 hear from coach Tua and Chop Robinson from the Baptist 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.480 Hell Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:10.720 the Draft Time Podcast. 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.200 Excellent another of Miami Dolphins. 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.440 So the Dolphins that you kind of got used to 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.160 the last couple of years and had to take a 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.000 short hiatus during the stretch that Tua was down. Basically, well, 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:24.760 the Dolphins team that you had been looking forward to 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.479 seeing all year is officially back, and with this resounding 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.640 victory over the Patriots, especially in the way that first 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.520 half went, that kind of felt like old times again, 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.959 but in a much more improved and evolved and more 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.440 complete way, didn't it. Let's go ahead and talk about 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.560 the stats from this one, because Miami was dominant. There 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:42.880 was one point in the game where it was two 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.759 eighty to eighty in total yards. And in the second 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.680 half things got a little bit sloppy at times, and 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.760 we'll cover that and hear from head coach or from 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.200 Tua tongue by lower rather on how they can clean 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.120 that up. But I mean in the game, twenty three 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.360 first downs to fourteen for the Patriots. This was our 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.040 worst third down game in quite a while, four for twelve, 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.400 which is good for some teams. For us, it's a 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.920 pretty big step in the other direction. The Patriots were 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.120 just three for fourteen. Miami had no fourth down attempts today. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.320 The Patriots were one for three on the critical down. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.240 Miami had three hundred and seventy three yards of offense. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.079 I mean, I talked about it back when you know, 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.280 playoffs seemed a little bit lost and now they're back 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.359 on again in terms of where the Dolphins are in 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.480 the standings. But if we can just continue to post 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.959 four hundred yard days with thirty points of offense, I 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.280 would feel very good going into the offseason. But we've 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.000 done that and accomplished the wins to put ourselves back 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.680 in the mix. So three seventy three to two sixty nine, 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.079 Miami had three zho eight through the air compared to 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.680 one eighty three for the Patriots. We did get out 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.359 rushed in this one eighty six to sixty five. We 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.679 ran three more plays in the Patriots sixty six to 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:47.200 sixty three, one turnover for the Dolphins, two for the Patriots. 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.160 The Dolphins were sacked twice. They had four sacks of 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.600 their own and just three penalties for seventeen yards for 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.320 Miami in this one. We're gonna come back and talk 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.560 about that later in the game. The Patriots had ten 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.679 for seventy five. Miami had the football for just over 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.760 thirty two minutes, and the game started off kind of 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.720 like you hoped it would, kind of like you'd expect 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.480 it would. They get a three and out on defense, 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.560 and my first note was the Benito Jones on a 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.280 stack and shed rep right away. He took the guard 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.560 back two yards, stacked him, shedded him, made the play 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.280 right there. For I think it was a one yard 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.120 game once the running back fell forward. Then the Dolphins 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.280 came out of this look that looked to me like 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.919 covers zero, but I think they rotated and to cover 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.720 one like man free with the single high safety. And 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.400 I put that note in there because I'm thinking about 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.640 the Raiders game plan last week and how it seemed 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.360 to kind of rely upon like let's just keep them 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.240 in front of us and rally up and tackle. They 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.080 got after Drake May with a game plan today and 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.000 I'm looking forward to watching it on tape to tell 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:43.720 you what I think happened in terms of how they 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.760 called that game. But they got the checkdown, they got 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.640 the rally up and the tackle short of the sticks 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.680 to get a three and out right away. And then 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.000 Malik Washington has a very smart, like veteran presence play 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.520 for a rookie to let this punt drop and he's 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.440 playing it in front of him, and then it keeps 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.240 quiet hands like receivers do on deep shots, where he 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.120 didn't like show that he was gonna grab it, and 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.320 he gets rabbed next to the football and then cradles 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:08.680 it and takes off and takes it back to the 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.080 seventeen yard line. When he did that at the five 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.320 yard line, had that ball bounced again, maybe the Patriots 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.800 down that thing inside the five yard line. So a 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.120 smart play there from the rookie, but Miami can't do 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.520 anything with it. A four play nineteen yard drive, you 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.719 get eleven yards and the opening play to John new Smith, 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.440 which like, here we go again, right, and then Devon 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.320 h Chan broke some tackles and turned to a zero 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.679 yard gain. I thought into seven yards pushing the pile, 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.560 but then the Dolphins got kind of stuck in the mud. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.200 They were playing aggressive man coverage with a zero look. 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.040 On third and two, they pressed up and two. I 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.800 tried to throw a speed out to John new Smith, which, man, 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:41.720 the more we watch John new Smith get involved in 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.560 this offense, the more it looks like he's kind of 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.800 being schemed for, being planned for in terms of like 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.680 critical throws and money moments, and he's been executing those 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.000 for the last month or so here, So a big 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.680 time boost for Miami in terms of their offense having 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.040 another go to guy in that situation that they couldn't 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.920 convert here, thought the defender was a little early no flag, 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:02.760 I wouldn't I probably wouldn't throw a flag there either. 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.040 Then the Patriots had what I thought was their best 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.320 drive of the entire game, a twelve play sixty yard 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.120 drive that took seven and a half minutes off the 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.000 clock and produced a missed field goal of forty five yards. 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.520 And it was basically a little bit of run game success, 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.160 not a whole lot, but Drake may just finding his 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.400 way in terms of creating off schedule, off script and 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.400 creating out of the structure and getting on the edge 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.840 and running the football and then throwing some passes off 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.360 those looks as well. But they kept getting behind the 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.600 chains offensively all day. They had a false start that 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.240 put him at first and fifteen a positive gain, then 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.479 another negative game that put him at second in sixteen. 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.400 And that's kind of the modern theory of NFL defenses. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.160 You can force these offenses to play, you know, ten 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.240 twelve play drives, then you put yourself in a position 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.160 where a couple of mistakes can put you behind the 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.680 chains and you can't get out from behind that, and 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.119 so they did keep getting out from behind that because 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.920 he would find a way to you know, get off 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.400 the edge and check it down to Antonio Gibson or 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.960 Pop Douglas or Hunter Henry and they would create form 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.360 after the fact. Now they did bog down. There was 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.240 a second and six of the Patriots at the twenty 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.720 yard line and they were offensive off sides and the 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:08.360 guy that was the right tackle blocking, Chop Robinson, holds him, 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.400 so it makes for second and sixteen. They have a 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.159 miscommunication on that throw creates a third and sixteen. They 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:14.960 run the ball to get a better field goal situation, 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.640 but Kalaeis Campbell is not fooled and stops it for 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.040 a three yard gain. So the Dolphins just found ways 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.719 to win despite getting you know, on their back heel 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.200 on that drive, and the Patriots paid off by missing 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.880 the field goal. And then Miami goes back to what 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.520 exactly they've been doing for the last month. An eight play, 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.680 sixty five yard drive that took four minutes off the 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.840 clock and it results in a seven yard touchdown pass 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.760 his first of four on the day from Tua to 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.680 tight end John hw Smith, and it started off the 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.640 drive the same way stick nod to John who Smith 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.880 stick nods when you basically get down the field, turn 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:46.600 your head back to the quarterback with one step, and 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.880 then go right back vertical down the field. And he 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.360 hit that for a twelve yard gain, and then Waddle 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.560 catches the dig route against man coverage, and the Patriots 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.320 were in this man coverage look throughout most of the game. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.320 I'm really curious to see how that comes out from 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.400 Next Gen or from True Media in terms of how 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.200 they played this, because I thought it was man coverage 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.960 almost exclusively in this game, which that's a big deal 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.400 to me because we'll talk about it later on. But 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.040 I feel like the Dolphins have earned themselves back into 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.760 the coverage from the opposing defense that you don't want 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.280 to play against these guys, which is man coverage because 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.640 all they have is man beaters and Tyreek and Waddle 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.360 and now John new Smith and OBJ can do it 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.520 and great Craft can do it. Eight Like, that's not 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.800 a good place to be when you're facing this Dolphins offense. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.640 But what's worse that or in being aggressive and trying 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.080 to force the issue, or staying on your back heel 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.400 and playing this soft zone that Tua just carves up 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.559 and eats up and down the entire field while chewing 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.040 off eight nine minutes of the clock. You can't win. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.520 But they run this single high look and Tua throws 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.520 this shot to Waddle, who gets across the face of 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.320 the corner back and then it's a safety trying to 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.360 basically chase him down from a flat foot position and 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.760 he can't do it. And you see Wattle streaking across 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:52.720 the field for twenty four yards and he ran the 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.160 width of the entire field too, And I'm just been 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.200 dying to see that, and it was so beautiful to 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:58.920 get a look at it. Do the exact same thing 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.920 in Tyreek. One play later, he could tackle Bill for 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.360 eleven yards. And then they get themselves into a third 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.800 and three at the twelve yard line too. Was hardcount 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.160 gets them to come over the last scrimage for a 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.160 first down. That's two weeks in a row that he's 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.040 had a hard count that worked, And then the first 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.440 and goal went for nothing. Second goal was an inside 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.520 slant to Obj against Christian Gonzalez, a pretty tough matchup. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.720 That's their best player, and he has a perfect rep 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.800 to break it up. But then Tua finds John new 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.239 Smith on the crosser for six where he felt pressure, 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.640 stepped up off the spot and found John who on 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.120 that little drag route for a touchdown, which to me 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.160 looked like it was deep into the progression. And let's 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.000 actually go ahead and hear from Tua on his ability 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.719 to get through progressions, because that was kind of the 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.640 story of the day for me, was his ability to 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.800 find time in the pocket through good pass protection from 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.400 the Dolphins offensive line, survey the defense and do what 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.839 he does best and make good decision. Let's go ahead 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.920 and hear from Tua on the progression of the offense. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.320 Well, it's just going through the progressions. I think that's 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:53.319 where we've taken a step forward in this offense in 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:57.040 retrospect to last year. Is one and two, aren't there. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.680 We're able to flip our feet work through the progression 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.719 and what that entails for us if he's open, if not, 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.320 you know, knowing where our checkdowns are. I think that's 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:07.400 the biggest difference. 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.679 And we've made no mistake about it here on this 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.599 show that that's an area of growth for two of 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.600 this offseason that has really really made a big impact 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.160 on what this team has been able to accomplish here 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.560 through the last I guess five weeks. With his return 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.160 to the lineup, the Patriots get the ball back. They 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.760 go three plays minus fifteen yards in less than a minute. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.040 Sealer bowls up a play for a six yard loss 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.360 as him and Jordan Brooks arrive to clean that thing up, 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.040 and Stealer wins so dominantly that he gets into the 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.360 line of scrimmage like before the offensive line can you 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.480 even get to that spot? And it forces these backs 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.360 to like bubble and go backwards, and then once he 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.120 doesn't make the initial tackle, they go further backwards, and 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.400 then Jordan Brooks and Jaylen Ramsey can rally up and 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.760 make the tackle. And then we get a Quinton Bell 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.240 Chop Robinson meet at the quarterback where they come as 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.280 they kind of sandwich Drake May together cater Coho's in 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.200 phase down the field incomplete pass and then Chopp gets 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.240 a big sack a third and sixteen win where he 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.199 smokes the right tackle. The entire defense runs down to 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.839 the opposing end zone and does the chop celeration in 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.120 perfect synchronization in the end zone. What a fun series 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.480 that was. Miami gets the ball back and pays it 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.360 off with another touchdown drive nine plays sixty six yards, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.640 almost five minutes off the clock, culminating in a nine 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.120 yard Devon eight Chan touchdown reception, and alec Ingold gets 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.280 back into the game today, his first game in a 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.080 couple of weeks, and he has a nice lead block 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.440 for an eight seven yard eight Chan run, and then 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.559 that gets us a third down play where Jalen Wattle 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:30.120 takes the slant and takes he catches the slam, the 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.520 cornerback jumps in his back and he carries him from 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.960 for like twelve yards. It's like a five yard completion. 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.000 Waddle carries this defensive back and picks up seventeen for 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.080 number seventeen and once again they're still in single high coverage. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.880 And they tried this one on one ball with Christian 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.280 Ellis to Devon Achan. That's a matchup I like a lot. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.400 The Dolphins did too. I thought he had a step, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.280 but the ball was just a tiny bit underneath where 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:52.760 it had to be and allowed Ellis to make a 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.679 play on the football to break it up. They go 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.480 quick swing to Maleague Washington for one yard, and once 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.120 again it's a third long situation, but Luckily we have 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.520 this quarterback who can deal in those situations, and he 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.400 finds waddle on inside access to get thirteen yards down 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.240 to the ten yard line, and then the now screen 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.360 to Devon eight Chan weaving his way for six yards. 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.240 And you know, I'm gonna talk about some takeaways, but 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:13.880 I just feel like the Dolphins have kind of found 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.840 a solution to some red zone not I wouldn't say woes, 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.800 but just where they could get better at. Last year, 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:20.719 they found a way to get better at that. We'll 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.960 come back and talk about that more in the takeaways. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.800 So Miami is a fourteen to zip lead. Patriots go 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:29.000 three and out a three play, one yard drive, A 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.000 hold puts him behind the sticks. They throw two short completions. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.199 Then the Dolphins heat up. Drake made with the blitz 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.560 and he misses. He had the hot route figured out, 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.640 but he just missed the receiver. Whether it was miscommunication, 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.760 miss timing the wrong route, whatever it was, the ball 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.800 was not where the receiver was and that leads to 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.160 a quick three and out and Miami goes right back 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.679 down the field ten plays, eighty yards, four minutes and 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.839 thirteen seconds, and again it's Devon eight Chan with a 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.080 touchdown reception. They did have a second and nine drop 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:56.920 in the drive that looked like it could have maybe 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:58.959 put the drive in some peril that looked like a 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.040 fumble as well, but it was ruled a Julian Hill 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.760 incomplete pass. And then on third and nine, Tua gets 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.920 off the spot and fires to Waddle with anticipation right 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.559 on the money. Wattle elevates to pull the ball down 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.319 from the traffic there and the Pats are they just 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.160 continue to challenge the Dolphins with their safeties either cheated 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.280 up or playing straight single high safety, and Miami said, 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.880 all right, well we have two very good receivers. We're 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.319 going to attack them. And that's what they did. And 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.200 then Jalen Wright gets a ten yard run on an 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:26.840 end a round where he takes that little no look 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.320 flip that Tua does. And then Tua had this really 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.840 sick throw to Jaalen Waddle on a deep out against 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.640 outside leverage. And there are a few receivers in this 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.480 league that can do this like Wattle does, where he 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.400 can win the route to the leverage the defense is playing. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.400 This defensive back is outside leverage trying to take away 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.319 the outbreaking route. He gets around him, stacks him. Tua 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.760 throws this really good ball to like the low perimeter. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.560 He digs it out, makes the catch, first down Dolphins 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:52.240 and then a third and three in the red zone 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.360 the plus eleven yard line. Maybe my favorite design of 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.720 the entire year, where I'll look at it on film 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.800 more tomorrow, But I think what I saw was Reak 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.720 and Waddle were shot gun sidecar to Tua and not reaking. 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.240 Wattle reaking and a Chan, and they had the bunch 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.080 trips to the one side of the formation, and they 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.199 fake the give to Tyreek to that side, and the 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.560 entire defense collapses over and then a Chan just sneaks 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.360 out into the flat the other side, and nobody goes 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.080 with him for a walk in touchdown twenty one to nothing. 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.160 At this point of the game, Patriots three and out 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.439 minus ten yards. Chop comes clean and drills Drake may 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.040 I still think that the ball was fumbled. The arm 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.559 was going forward to the letter of the law technically 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.000 tells you it's an incomplete pass, But just like the 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.240 physics of the game, the way the ball popped out 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.000 of his hand as he was coming forward with it, 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.120 it kind of looked to me like it was a fumble, 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.480 but I get the call and then agbad does get 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.240 the sack on third down to clean up the drive, 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.360 get the Dolphins off the field, and then it's a 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.800 twenty one yard field goals. Miami drives at seven plays 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.800 fifty six yards. Wattle has this gorgeous adjustment coming back 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.679 to the football on a slot fade, which is one 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.679 of two's best throws in the entire bag. He comes 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:01.560 back in and gets it for a twenty nine yard gain, 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.520 and he has one hundred and eighteen yards in the 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.640 first half. At this point, he became the first Dolphin 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.640 with one hundred yards plus in the first half of 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.200 a game since Jalen Wadda last year against the Jets 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.400 in the game when Tyreek Hill was out, then Tyreek 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.080 runs a beautiful corner route down to the three yard line, 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.960 still in a man coverage, he gets big separation. Tua 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.800 finds him for twenty yards and then two incompletions where 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.720 Tua kind of got a little bit. I thought, slop 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.240 you at the ball, putting it in harm's way. He 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:27.840 even mentioned it. In fact, let's go ahead and go 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.360 to Tua here, who talked about or no, rather we'll 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:31.760 come back to that. He talked about this later on, 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.600 but he mentioned there was just too many hands on 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.440 footballs down there in the end zone on that final 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.160 drive and Waddle damn near caught a deflection off of 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.280 the one of those pass breakups. So they kick a 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.920 field goal there, go up twenty four to nothing the Patriots, 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:45.920 and the half with a nil down there at the 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.560 end of the half, So let's go ahead and take 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.480 our first break. Come back on the other side to 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.720 the second half and the five takeaways, and I have 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.000 a bunch more soundbites for you guys from coach and 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.720 Tua and Chop. That's all next Draft Time Podcast, Your 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:02.600 host Travis Wingfield brought to you Bye Auto Nation. Before 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.520 we get to the second half game script here, I 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.520 want to just hear some sound from Tula because I 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.960 thought this was very instructive about the team's mindset and 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.720 the quarterbacks approach to things. Because just because you have 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.080 one half of dominant, you know, put them away football, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:17.400 which you kind of did in the first half of 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.360 this game. There's a higher expectation for both this player 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.320 and this team, especially if they want to get to 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:23.760 where they want to go to and That's what Tua 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.200 talks about here with how happy he was with the 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.680 performance and then going into the game on Thursday against 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.640 the Packers. Let's go ahead and hear from the quarterback 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.560 before we do the second half games. 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.400 You know, it's always great to win, it's always great 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.120 to enjoy the win. But there are some things second 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.000 half wise that we knew we could have capitalized on 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.840 that we didn't, Things that we said we wanted to 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:45.720 do coming out in the second half that we didn't, 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.600 and you know, those can be frustrating, but I would say, 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:55.240 you know, it's we're still below the five hundred threshold 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.320 and it's a long way to where we want to 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.320 get to. So we'll enjoy this win, but you know this, 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:02.920 this next one is going to be big for us, 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.280 and we're excited to go down there to Green Bay 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.720 and you know, show everybody on primetime a wee can do. 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.200 And it began with the Dolphins having the football to 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.160 kick off that second half with a three play, four 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.280 yard drive where they tried to run the little glance 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.160 off of the fake swing that wasn't there. But I 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.040 liked how Tua and we'll get to this as well 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.880 as Tua Man. They just have like options and then 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.360 like options for when the options on available, like they 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.440 run this. They want to hit the glance down the 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.640 middle of the field. It's not there. And the reason 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.440 they can pull guys away from the attention of that 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.720 part of the field is this little flat route that 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.560 you can run. But because they, you know, give more 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.520 attention to the glance route, the flat route is there. 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.360 And he did that and they got a compleation. They 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.640 got a nice gain. But then Christian Barmore Saximon third 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.240 down and they get their second Jake Bailey punt in 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.840 the last nine quarters. After having some very highly efficient 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.240 offensive football, the Patriots get it back and they have 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.520 a ten play twenty seven yard drive that ends in 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.120 a punt where they brought Javon Hall and the Dolphins 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.600 off the edge. Him and Ogball both forced May to 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.399 bubble all the way around this particular formation, which, by 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.560 the way, Drake make him play man. He's got some 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.760
