WEBVTT - Statistical Splits Between Wins and Losses and Assistant Coaches Media 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:06.240 Two fires touch stop waddle stocked into the end zone 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.280 of Miami tight pro tip window. They had to get 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:16.239 that touchdown on that play. They give it. What is up, 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:20.439 Dolph Fans and welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.440 of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.040 Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your host, 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.800 Travis Wingfield, and as always I am here for one 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.080 more week to bring you your daily dose of Miami 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.320 Dolphins football. We cut this thing down to three shows 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.440 a week in the off season except for in the 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.480 busy peak times. But on today's show, it's a deep 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.400 dive Wednesday. We're gonna compare the numbers between wins and 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.520 losses this year, and a couple of very interesting data 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.160 points between the two that I was curious to find 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.320 out about, plus the thin margin for air in this game. 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.279 We heard from the whole gamut of assistant coaches on 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.800 Tuesday as well. We're gonna play the highlights from those 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:04.880 media availabilities from somewhere in South Florida. This is the 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:11.679 Drive Time Podcast. I'll go ahead and start the podcast 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.959 here with the assistant coaches media sessions from Tuesday. It 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.040 was a long one. Getting all these guys on zoom 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.600 takes longer than it does on the in person meetings. 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.720 We get through it, and we talked to them one 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:23.800 on one with these good questions, and there was all 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.360 kinds of good stuff today. If you have not done so, 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.399 all the coordinators will be up on YouTube, not the 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.040 assistant coaches. They'll have sound for some of those guys 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.600 for you here on this podcast. Let's go ahead and 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.200 pick it up with coach George Godsey, Dolphins co O 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.160 C and tight ends coach, who was asked about the 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.199 idea of being more aggressive in the downfield passing game 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.240 and if the Dolphins had more experience on the offensive line, 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.559 if they could have done that more throughout the course 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.000 of the season. Here's coach Godsy on just that. Yeah, 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:57.320 I mean, that's that's where most of them passing game starts. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.400 As protection. So, um, whether it's matt Hip that we 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.000 can do better on or you know, it's it's executing 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.160 our our job as a protector, whether it's back alignment 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.040 or tight end, that group's gotta gotta give the quarterback 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.760 enough time for the receivers to get open too. And 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.880 and uh, if we're having to get the ball out 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.640 of our hands because we're getting pressured then uh, you know, 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.160 we can't get the ball downfield. So a lot of 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.080 that plays into how the game is being played and 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.200 how the matchups end up being. You know, we had 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.520 some guys in there moving around a little bit. Liam's 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.760 learning and improving each game. Austin is going inside. You know, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.399 We've had some rotation going on at center right side. 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.160 Seemed to be pretty consistent as far as health wise. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.560 So all those variables take uh take place into calling 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.000 a play and um, you know, I want to make 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.679 sure we give our guys the best opportunity to execute 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:55.440 that play. So uh protection, depth of route, uh, pattern 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.560 options for the quarterback of all that goes into any 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.680 like all our play design as thorough as he always 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.519 is there with coach George Gods, it's go ahead and 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.520 go back to coach real quick. I asked him a 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.359 question about personnel usage this season, because we talked all 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.600 offseason long, right about how this Dolphins receiving corps was 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.359 super deep, and obviously you lose one of the top 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.040 key guys you're banking on, Will Fuller early in the season. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.120 Davante Parker misses a few games. You're at without Jillian 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.120 Waddle for one game. Preston Williams up and down throughout 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.960 the course of the season, Isaiah Ford comes back, Albert 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.160 Wilson has a kind of fluctuating role. All of a sudden, 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.040 the depth seems like it's not what we expected back 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.800 in training camp, and again, injuries and attrition has a 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.160 way of having that happen. But here's coach Gotzi on 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.160 the utilization of so much twelve personnel, which led the 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.119 league by a substantial number this season. With two tight 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.000 ends on the field, you know, starting the season and 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.560 Alie Tennis. Is probably a lot of variables that have 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:57.160 come up, whether it's injuries or UM, especially in receiver position. UM, 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.320 you know, in and out of the lineup. Obviously would 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.520 have some some injuries there too that people have played. 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.440 So those guys, like I said, have been a healthy 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.560 group for the most part, and they're able to do 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.440 multiple things. Are able to block, They're able to block 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:17.440 in line, they're able to detached if we need to UM, 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.240 you know, and it's pretty reliable group from an assignment standpoint. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.520 So as much as we can use those guys, would 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.200 like to every time we do these, I always learned 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.720 something And so just thinking about having these guys every 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.919 single week here to talk to you on the podcast 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.919 is so beneficial to the basically what I want to 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.960 do here, and that's to educate football fans to be 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.320 smarter football fans, especially when it comes to this Miami 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.720 Dolphins team. And I'll miss not having those guys every week. 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.880 There's they're so informative. And here's coach Eric Studiensville Dolphins 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.000 co O C and running backs coach talking about the 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.039 pass or rather the run blocking execution of the offensive 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.599 line if he felt it's been good enough in recent 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.960 weeks in this season, and coach, there's more to it 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.359 than just the offensive line that goes into your running game. Again, 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.240 I don't, I don't. I don't necessarily think it's just 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.520 it's it's not one unit that that's responsible for. There's 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.120 different runs that runs hit in different places, There's different schemes. 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.640 So you know, if we're running a toss play outside, 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.599 that may be a different emphasis on who's the point 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.279 of attack blocking then if you're running a dive play inside. 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.240 So to to put the responsibility on on five guys 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.560 and say that they're the only ones that affect you know, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.080 what happens in the run game. I don't. I don't 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:25.640 think that. That's not what we do and that's not 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.760 that's not the beauty of this game. The beauty of 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.880 this game is it takes eleven people to be coordinated 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.760 to have success on one play at a time. That's 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.240 that's why you play this game. That's why you get 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.360 involved in it because it's the team concept that's important 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.919 to you. So it's all of us involved in that, coaches, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.960 from the from the diagram and the creation of the 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.760 plays and the teaching of what we're doing to all 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.599 the way down to the players of the execution. But 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.560 it's not it doesn't rely strictly on one person um 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.400 for the execution, the success or the production. It's it's 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.760 the group better. Very informative there from Coach again love 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.760 hearing what these guys have to say and to us. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.760 Spoke about that and his postgame presser on Sunday about 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.920 how when you have eleven guys doing a job, if 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.600 one person screws up, it can send the entire play 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.600 kind of put and you hear Coach does feel echoing 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.840 that message and that sentiment there with the question about 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.080 the run blocking this season from the Dolphins offensive line, 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.599 how to get the run game going in general, Let's 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.320 go ahead and spend this thing forward and pick it 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.200 up here with quarterbacks coach Charlie Fry, who was asked 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.440 about the growth of to a tongue of Byloa in 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.040 his first or rather his second season here as a 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.120 Miami Dolphin, his first under the tutelage of quarterbacks coach 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.360 Charlie Fry. Yeah, I think, you know, he's they're showing 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:40.000 that he's shown growth in in you know, the way 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.440 he's played this year. I think as a young quarterback, 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.960 the more reps you get, the more experience that you get, 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.360 the more you're gonna be able to take from that 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.919 the learning moments and the things that happened within that game. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.599 You know, we go over those corrections the next day 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.280 and meetings, and then you try to apply it to 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.560 the for the next week's game, and then you get 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:05.200 into the you know, the overall picture of the growth 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.560 and development more in the off season, um and then 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.840 try and try and take some steps that way. But 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.960 right now, it's it's the things that happened in the 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.840 Tennessee game, the corrections that we make in trying to 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.640 apply those going into this last week against New England. 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.000 And you heard coach talk there about how right now 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.080 it is about the Titans game. And so there was 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.720 a follow up question about ball security and how to 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.320 it can approve in that regard, and just looking at 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.080 some of the numbers here for two of the season, 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.080 the interception percentage has jumped by a full percentage point 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.840 from last season, from one point seven up to two 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.840 point seven per cent. And then we've also seen a 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.640 lot more fumbles. Last year just one fumble for Toungo 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.200 by Loa in ten games played. But this year in 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.240 twelve games, nine fumbles, nine times he's put the ball 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.000 on the ground. That's just a little bit too many 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.040 turnover worthy plays or turnover opportunities, I should say for 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.040 the opposing defense. So Coach Fry was asked about ball 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.320 security and how to it can get better in that regard. 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.560 I thought his answer here was really good about the 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.680 mental aspect of all security. I think um obviously a 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.640 focus of you know, when the pocket breaks down and 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.239 and and you you have to move, sometimes the initial 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.000 reaction is to separate your hands. You know, obviously you're 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.720 getting the ball into a running position instead of a 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.480 passing position, and usually that's that's where most of the 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.200 fumbles happen, is that initial break the hands UM. So 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.880 obviously you drill that. But the problem is when you 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.680 drill that, there's there's you don't have that element of 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.440 life contact, you know, that lot the element of man, 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.160 this guy's coming to hurt me, this guy is coming 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.559 to tackle me. So a lot of it is training 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.640 your mind um more so than than any any type 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.319 of drill of when there's contact, when when you feel 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:52.200 that coming of really putting your body in between the 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:56.160 ball and the defender um and and it's more of 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.800 a mental thing. And obviously you're gonna drill it. You 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.000 try and drill everything that's going to happen in the game. 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.040 But being able to take the drill to the practice 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.040 to the game is a lot of the mental side. 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.120 Interesting stuff there from a guy who's played and inclement weather, 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:12.640 he came. He was with the Seahawks there for a 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.559 little bit, so he knows about bad what rainy footballs 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.680 and wind and and all the stuff. And ball security 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.720 of course, a big part of that position let's go 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.920 ahead and spend this thing forward to the special teams 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.440 and coordinator Danny Crossman, who was asked about if the 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.120 Dolphins lived up to his standards so far this season 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:32.959 on special teams obviously not, you know, and we be 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.000 quite honest, we've never met my standards. But you know, 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:40.040 obviously this year even even a little bit more so 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.280 of not being where we need to be. Well, the 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.240 list is as long as it as it always is. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:47.760 We need to be better and everything we need to coach, 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.079 I need to coach it better. We need to executed better. 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:52.920 When we have opportunities, we need to be able to 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:57.520 take advantage of those opportunities. Um, a lot, a lot 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.200 to work on. That second portion was a fall up 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.040 question about what specifically is on his list for things 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.320 they have to improve that you heard it. Let's go 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.280 ahead and go to the defensive side of the football 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.640 here with DC Josh Boyer, who was asked about the 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:13.040 run defense and how they had issues on Sunday with 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.000 the Titans who rolled up a hundred yards on the ground. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.320 I mean, you know, some of it, uh you know, 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.720 I mean it could be a little bit scheme related 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:25.480 where where we're trying to create negative plays. Uh. Some 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.920 of it is uh, you know, them staying ahead of 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.800 the change and you know, staying on track and um, 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:33.520 you know, not being able to really get him into 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.079 situations where they need to throw the ball and um, 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:38.640 you know. And then some of it, like I said, 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.920 you know as scheme issues. Uh, and then some of 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.800 it is you know, just fundamentals and techniques and um 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.160 you know. Um, so those are the things like I 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.280 said that you know, when you review the film, you 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.360 try to correct all those and then you get ready 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.680 to play. Uh. Uh. You know New England who's a 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.720 very good run offense. Um, And they can throw the ball. 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.400 They do a lot of things. They're very multiple, they're 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.400 very well coached. They got very good players. They've got 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.960 a very good offensive line, very similar to the team 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.199 that we saw last week. Um. Uh, their receivers all 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.480 blocked well, they all play hard, their physical, tough team. 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.439 They're gonna play for sixty minutes. So again, I mean, 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.120 we have a big challenge in front of us this week. 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.840 So um, that's kind of really where our focus is 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.960 really found. Coaches comment there about scheme things and trying 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.160 to create negative plays and the running game was interesting. Obviously, 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:28.560 we talked about one of the keys of the game 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.800 was getting the Titans into those long down distances to 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.400 get those free hitters, to get those blitz opportunities. Just 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.120 didn't happen frequently enough in this game. We talked about 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.240 that in the All twoint to review about how Miami 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:43.600 the Titans game plan allowed them, or the execution of 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.080 their plan allowed them to get to the part of 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.920 the game plan where they could really kind of minimize 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.040 those rush options and get into the different types of 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.880 conflict like the bootlegs and the rolls and the quarterback runs, 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.480 all that fun stuff that's fun for your offense, not 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.120 so much we have to defend it. Now. Let's go 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.680 ahead and pick us up here with Dolphins linebackers coach 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.120 Anthon Campinelli, and you know, I think one of the 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.679 things I might want to look at this summer is 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.120 Jerome Baker's just charting his play because of how many 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.720 different plays he made. Spots are different spots he made 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.000 plays from kind of a switch from full time MIC 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.600 linebackers are more off the edge, and that Baltimore game, 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.920 which of course coincided with Miami's defensive resurgence in the 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.360 second half of the season. Coach Camp was asked about 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.680 Jerome Baker's ability to play multiple spots with selflessness to 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.880 do that and what he does or what it is 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.640 about Jerome Baker that makes him able to get better 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.959 every game and every season. I think he's done a 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.439 really good job. You know, He's been called upon to 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.160 do a bunch of different things and he's uh, he's 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.760 excelled in a lot of ways. Um. I think he's 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.920 continually improved over the course of the season, whether it 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:47.199 be in the run game, UM, you know, pass coverage 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:51.360 and pass rush. Um. So I think, uh, I think 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:55.560 people recognize that about him. I certainly do. UM, just 0:12:55.920 --> 0:13:00.760 in terms of just being around somebody every day, incredibly coachable, 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.520 humble personality, and I think it's guys like that usually 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.240 continue to get better. That's a really fun quote to 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.440 end that on there, talking about Jerome Baker. From the 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.760 second level of defense, we move up to the front 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.080 portion and you guys heard me raving about Christian Wilkins 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.040 game on Sunday on the Tuesday Recap podcast, and I 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:24.640 just can't get enough of what this guy can do 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.679 in terms of the physicality, the quickness, stack and shed 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.040 the eyes, the eye discipline, the ability to backdoor play 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:32.959 on the front side, just so many things he can 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.480 do that really increases Miami's versatility, which we know is 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.319 a key in this defense and on this team. And 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.040 I think it also allows him to do what he 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.200 did on Sunday and play over of the snaps for 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.600 this Dolphins defense. Here's Coach Clark, Dolphins d line coach 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.640 on Christian Wilkins. Yeah. I think, you know, credit credit 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.720 to Christian. His versatility and how he's developed there has 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.680 definitely helped helped us as a defense. And you know, 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.280 he can't feel multiple roles, and I would say his 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.199 willingness to do whatever role has asked to him is 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.360 what's awesome. You know, it's it's not um you know, 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.640 he never second guesses anything we're asking him to do. 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.400 He goes full speed and he has a real focus 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.640 on the technique and fundamentals. I think that's where he's 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.880 made his biggest strides and uh, you know, hopefully, uh 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.480 you know, we can have a good one with him 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.360 on Sunday. Glad you mentioned the technique and fundamentals because 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.680 that one player where I talked about how he locked 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.160 out of the guard and then tossed him back to 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.520 the direction. You just saw everything that you see on 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.240 those bags all August long in the training camp, and 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.080 the sweat and the blood, sweat and tears they put 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.200 out there on that practice field. You see that translate 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.400 onto the game day field. That's always a good feeling 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.360 for a player to have that kind of come to 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.840 fruition without the course of the season, especially now in 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.280 your number three for Christian Wilkins. Let's go ahead and 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.280 take our first break and come back and finish up 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.000 with two more coaches media and the quotes from Gerald 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.680 Alexander and Charles Burke's then we'll have a deep dive 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.240 after that as well. Drivetime Podcast Wednesday edition. Keep it 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:59.240 locked right here. Let's pick it back up with Gerald 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:03.600 Alexander on this coach's availability Wednesday edition of the Drive 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.040 Time Podcast. Who was asked? I asked him actually about 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.120 how you, as a guy who's played in the league 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.720 and also coached in the league, on if this week, 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.440 when you're eliminated from posteas and contention, if you can 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.680 learn anything about your team and your roster and the 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.400 way guys prepare, and if the way guys work in 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:26.600 a week that has an atmosphere or disappointment from Sunday 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.920 that carries over if it reveals anything about your team 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:31.560 and the character those guys have wanted to ask you. 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.800 Because of his experience as a player and coach, here's coach. Yeah, 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.520 I think in regardless of the circumstances, when you look 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.040 at just the opportunity that it is to work and 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.000 play in the NFL, you can never take any of 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.720 these weeks for granted. You know, there's a lot of 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.520 work that gets put in, you know for the seventeen 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.120 you know, guaranteed opportunities that we have to go out 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.400 there on the field together and incompete. So, um, you know, 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:58.600 whether it reveals character about an individual, um, you know, 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.120 how don't put that. I don't put a lot of 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:05.840 stock into that. I think that every game, UM definitely, Uh, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.720 you learn from it and exposes you know, really anybody 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.920 you know, strengths, weaknesses and things like that. But um, 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.720 you know, it's just another opportunity for us to do 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.720 this together. Unfortunately we didn't do wanted to do this season, um, 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.360 but we have one more opportunity to go out there 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.120 together because we know at this point Uh, you know, 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.400 it's definite ality. I gotta love that answer. That's why 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.120 I asked him that questions. I would get a good 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.240 one there from g A and that's yeah, I completely 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.720 understand that mentality. In that mindset, you can't preach the 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.680 one day of time mentality and then have a different 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:39.280 week carry more weight than another week earlier or later 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:41.680 in the season. Let's go ahead and finish up here 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:45.640 with Charles Burks, who was asked about the elements of 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.680 Noah egg banogenis game that makes him believe he can 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.960 transition at some point his career to a full time 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.120 player and have success in this league. Here's Charles Burke's 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.840 on noahgo, Well, this is an athletic ability. You know, 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:04.040 think he he definitely has tools to be successful in 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:08.000 the league, but there's a lot more to that. Not 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.040 saying that he doesn't have those other things, but it's 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.880 just not necessarily an athletic skill. There's are a lot 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.760 of athletic guys that have came in the NFL at 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:20.920 that particular position, but there there's more that goes into it. So, uh, 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.919 it's not just necessarily being a really good athlete, you know, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:28.080 it's the preparation. Um, it's the instincts, it's you know, 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:32.040 the film, it's all of that encompassing that can really 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:33.760 change a game and take it to a high level. 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:35.880 So there you go. That's the end of our assistant 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.480 coaches media availability. I believe we'll get the coordinators next Tuesday, 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.119 and then there will be a rap on talking to 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.240 those guys for quite some time once the season comes 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.440 to a conclusion. But I wanted to go back here 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.640 now to something Coach Gods he said off the top 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.679 about making plays to move the football, which then can 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.320 help you produce points and ultimately score more than the 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.240 opposition does. And when he said how we've done it 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.080 half the time and the other half the time we 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.520 have not, it kind of got me thinking about what 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.639 kind of deep dive I wanted to do. And so 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.719 I became curious about differences between the eight wins and 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.080 the eight losses. And then I've got to thinking, what 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.919 were the things that I specifically remember about those games, 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.040 Things that I can look at besides numbers that I 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.520 can find on Pro Football Reference or NFL True Media 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.560 or the Jesus site, g S I S site, Pro 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.840 Football Focus or what have you. As far as what 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:30.919 your resources are next gen. I use that one a 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.040 lot too, something like how many made in missfield goals 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.040 do we have compared to our opponent and the wins 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.320 and losses? Then also how did teams beat us and 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.399 how did they fail to do so? So I thought, 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.800 let's look at blitz rate for instance. That will be 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:45.679 one I can chart real quick, So this will be 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.440 a short segment, but I wanted to compare some things 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.320 that stood out over the eight game sample size of 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.000 victories and the sample size and defeats. And we can 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.840 do this again come the off season with much more 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.840 time put into it, much more data and charting. That 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:00.679 goes into that one of my fair things to do 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.240 with football is to chart things, and they always teach 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.880 you something, whether or not your hypothesis or the opposite 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:07.960 or something in between. You always learn something when you 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.440 do these deep dive projects. Let's go ahead and jump 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:15.600 right into that, but first, real quick, these words back 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.920 here on the Drive Time podcast, and we are taking 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:21.399 a look at the difference and a few statistical categories 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.720 between Miami's eight wins and eight losses and trying to 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.399 find out what worked and did not work in the 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.240 winds and the losses, and we start here with four 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:34.000 stats I was curious to look at, and we could 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:40.000 pull up rushing and passing and very basic counting stats, 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.240 which I did here also for a few of these ones. 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.240 But I wanted to look at things that you have 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.720 to kind of go back and peek through the game 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:50.479
