Speaker 1: You were listening to the Miami Dolphins Podcast Network. This
Speaker 1: is Drive Time with Travis Wheatfield. Back to throw to
Speaker 1: a looking wine open touchdop, clerk kill, unbelievable, just blue
Speaker 1: fire for a second time to know where he was
Speaker 1: going right away? Hit is that there? Man? I want
Speaker 1: to help you soon up on his bay wattle, waddle
Speaker 1: to a shotgun, back to throw, looking steps up, fires,
Speaker 1: totop again, It's waddle. It's six touchdown pass out of
Speaker 1: this day. Drive Time with Travis Winfield begins. Now let
Speaker 1: me check your pulse. If not firm, what is up? Dolphins?
Speaker 1: And welcome to the Drivetime podcast, part of the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins Podcast Network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's
Speaker 1: it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And
Speaker 1: on today's show, a sun Day night recap show, we've
Speaker 1: reached the almost midway point of the season and it's
Speaker 1: a fifth Miami Dolphins victory when win win win, win win,
Speaker 1: saying that, Mommy, that's right, A second straight win, a
Speaker 1: fifth on the season, the second fourteen point comeback on
Speaker 1: the road this season. We're gonna recap all of that.
Speaker 1: A busy show with audio from Mike McDaniel to a
Speaker 1: tungle by low A Tyreek Hill, the five Takeaways, Crazy Stats,
Speaker 1: and a segment with the game balls from the post
Speaker 1: game show on five six w q A M with Me,
Speaker 1: Seth and O J. McDuffie from the Baptist Health Studios
Speaker 1: inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drive
Speaker 1: Time Podcast. What a football game it was. This is
Speaker 1: not going your way early, a lot of self inflicted
Speaker 1: errors with the Miami Dolphins, but it gets corrected and
Speaker 1: your Miami Dolphins play arguably their most complementary half of
Speaker 1: football all season long, and it produces a big win
Speaker 1: on the road to get to five and three. In fact,
Speaker 1: the last time Miami was five and three through eight
Speaker 1: games was well, it was, And I double checked on
Speaker 1: that because at first I thought, wow, it's wait a minute,
Speaker 1: let me check the most recent seasons. That's right after
Speaker 1: staring one in three in two thousand and twenty, Dolphins
Speaker 1: won a few games in a row to get to
Speaker 1: six and three. I believe it was before the loss
Speaker 1: in Denver, but either way, it's a nice spot to
Speaker 1: be in after the first two quarters of the season.
Speaker 1: The five and three start is the best start by
Speaker 1: a Dolphins rookie head coach since Dave Wanstead went six
Speaker 1: and two back in two thousand. Let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: get some stats and some really cool records and numbers.
Speaker 1: Now for an offense that found it's stride on Sunday
Speaker 1: and the thirty one win over the Detroit Lions. I
Speaker 1: have a ton of audio I want to play on
Speaker 1: this podcast as well. I'll do my best to keep
Speaker 1: the episode from getting way too long, but no promises,
Speaker 1: because there was so much good stuff from coach McDaniel,
Speaker 1: from QB one from Cheetah. But how about the accomplishments
Speaker 1: of those two, the latter two as well as the penguin.
Speaker 1: By the way, I mentioned the second road win after
Speaker 1: trailing by fourteen points. The last time the Dolphins did
Speaker 1: that was nineteen nine six. For Twah, it's the first
Speaker 1: time a Dolphins quarterback has thrown for three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards, three plus passing touchdowns, zero interceptions while
Speaker 1: completing at least eight of his passes. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if you guys knew this, but we had a really
Speaker 1: good quarterback here for seventeen years once as outrageous production.
Speaker 1: Only quarterback to ever do in team history. For Tyreeke
Speaker 1: and Jalen, they broke the record for most receiving yards
Speaker 1: by a pair of teammates through the first eight games
Speaker 1: of a season. They are combined right now at sixteen
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty eight receiving yards. Out of this world.
Speaker 1: Tyreek had a hundred forty two receiving yards in the
Speaker 1: first half. That was the most by a Dolphins players
Speaker 1: since at least two thousand The next closes was Patrick
Speaker 1: cob Back in two thousand eight with one thirty three.
Speaker 1: He also went over Tyreek a hundred de receiving yards.
Speaker 1: It's the fourth time this year, which ties Mark Dooper's
Speaker 1: club record set in that Big Time illustrious four season.
Speaker 1: He Hill and Waddle have gone over a hundred yards
Speaker 1: in the three and three of the same games this
Speaker 1: year Baltimore, Minnesota, and now Detroit. Defensively, it's the second
Speaker 1: straight week that Miami held an opposing offense off the
Speaker 1: scoreboard in the second half. The last time that happened
Speaker 1: and wins over the Jets and Bengals in December of
Speaker 1: that season. The sixties seven yards by the Lions in
Speaker 1: the second half was their lowest output in a second
Speaker 1: half second half since twenty nineteen, So Miami checked all
Speaker 1: the boxes that second half. They found the end zone
Speaker 1: on offense, they got the stops on defense, they found
Speaker 1: the plays on special teams. Let's go ahead and give
Speaker 1: you the game stats, as we do weekly here on
Speaker 1: the Sunday Night Recap podcast. Twenty seven first downs for
Speaker 1: your Miami Dolphins, twenty two for the Lions. The Dolphins
Speaker 1: are eight of twelve on third downs. The lines were
Speaker 1: four of nine. Miami converted their loan fourth down attempt
Speaker 1: the first drive of the game. The Lions went one
Speaker 1: for two on four thounds, including the essentially game ceiling
Speaker 1: drive there at the end, before Miami got into victory
Speaker 1: formation after getting a couple of first downs of their own.
Speaker 1: On the other side, the Dolphins post four hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy six yards of offense to Detroit's three three three
Speaker 1: sixty nine of Miami's came through the air one oh
Speaker 1: seven on the ground. For the lines, it was three
Speaker 1: eleven and eighty two. Miami did out snap Detroit sixty
Speaker 1: four to fifty seven. The Dolphins had one turnover. The
Speaker 1: Lions did not have any turnovers. Miami took two sacks
Speaker 1: and had one sack on Jared Goff of their own.
Speaker 1: Seven penalties for fifty five yards four the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: and six for thirty for the Lions. The Dolphins possessed
Speaker 1: football for thirty four minutes and twenty two seconds. We
Speaker 1: have a lot more stats to get to, which we
Speaker 1: will do that here in the takeaways, starting with takeaway
Speaker 1: number one, and that's the takeaway number one. How good
Speaker 1: was two a tongue of Byaloa on this day? I mean,
Speaker 1: there are several examples of all the stuff that you
Speaker 1: look at on tape that made you'll fall in love
Speaker 1: with the prospect back when he was in college. The
Speaker 1: ability to manipulate the spot and the drop point to
Speaker 1: create advantageous throwing lanes for himself. The accuracy pushing the
Speaker 1: ball into tight windows, throwing away from leverage, moving the
Speaker 1: defense with his eyes, his feet, the body position, the hips,
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. So the throw on the back
Speaker 1: shoulder to Waddle, it was in the third quarter where
Speaker 1: Waddle runs like a little glance or slant route and
Speaker 1: he puts the ball away from the linebacker, but also
Speaker 1: at the same time settles Waddle into a gap so
Speaker 1: he doesn't run into a hit from the safety. It
Speaker 1: was just perfect, perfect location. How about the throw to
Speaker 1: Waddle in the end zone where he just threw that
Speaker 1: thing through a trio of defenders and there's Jalen Waddle
Speaker 1: there for the catch on the touchdown. The later pass
Speaker 1: on the fade, the slot fade to Waddle, I mean
Speaker 1: that thing. It kept Wattle in such stride that he
Speaker 1: scored from twenty eight yards in the twenties something in
Speaker 1: the twenties, I'll look it up real quick, but on
Speaker 1: that plane he could have scored from pretty much yards
Speaker 1: because of how perfectly located that football was. Twenty nine
Speaker 1: yard touchdown past to Waddle. But because that ball was
Speaker 1: on top of the defensive back who Waddle I mean,
Speaker 1: got the best of him right away on that play.
Speaker 1: But because the ball was where it was, it was
Speaker 1: so not easy but way easier for Waddle to make
Speaker 1: the run under I didn't have to contest with coming
Speaker 1: back to the football contest over a lion's defender's hand.
Speaker 1: Just a perfect location on that slot fade, and that's
Speaker 1: where you want catch the ball one hitch, throw it
Speaker 1: up to the corner of the end zone and let
Speaker 1: your speed receiver go and get it the throw where
Speaker 1: Tyreek is all alone and to uncorks it for forty
Speaker 1: was it forty two yards on the play with a
Speaker 1: stellar contested catch from Tyreek Hill, just to see him
Speaker 1: down there. No, you have the man coverage so you
Speaker 1: can throw him back away from the defense. Really good
Speaker 1: location on that one. Conversions on third down all day long,
Speaker 1: third and fourteen, third and six, the way he replaced
Speaker 1: the blizz with the football once again on a third
Speaker 1: and six conversion to Jalen Waddle. There was an example
Speaker 1: where he threw a little slant route to Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: where he looked off to the flat and you saw
Speaker 1: the defense flow that way, and then he quickly whips
Speaker 1: back to the middle and throws the ball back into
Speaker 1: the middle of the field for a big completion. Just
Speaker 1: continuously hit big rows all game long, including a touchdown
Speaker 1: pass to Mike Gasicki and a third down throw to
Speaker 1: Tyreek Killed that really impressed head coach Mike McDaniel. The
Speaker 1: touchdown to Mike gasecki um because that was the first
Speaker 1: time we've ever hit that route on that concept and
Speaker 1: you rarely ever see it, and it's something that was
Speaker 1: number four in the progression that he progressed through very quickly. UM.
Speaker 1: There was the first long throw on third down, UM
Speaker 1: to Tyreeke, you know where he's knows that we're going
Speaker 1: to be hot there in zero UM, and he buys
Speaker 1: as much time as he can in the pocket and
Speaker 1: then throws UM a ball that's not easy to throw
Speaker 1: to a really fast guy. UM. And that and stood out. UM.
Speaker 1: He had a lot of plays that was very very
Speaker 1: happy with UM. That was a game that we all
Speaker 1: know he's capable of UM, but it was his UM.
Speaker 1: He was relentless during the game, was worrying about the
Speaker 1: right stuff. I didn't see him press and make forced decisions.
Speaker 1: He took what was there UM and protected the ball
Speaker 1: while being aggressive. That last comment there certainly speaks to
Speaker 1: two stats we talked about with the three fifty plus
Speaker 1: passing yards three touchdown snow picks. To be aggressive but
Speaker 1: also protect the football. You're gonna be tough to beat.
Speaker 1: When you can do that to a did that on
Speaker 1: this day, on a day where, by the way, he
Speaker 1: completes nine of ten passes on third downs, we converted
Speaker 1: eight of those. Of his eleven attempts on third down,
Speaker 1: one being a sixteen or eighteen yards scramble, I should say,
Speaker 1: but on third down eight conversions, nine of ten passing
Speaker 1: one thirty nine yards, two touchdown passes and eighteen yards
Speaker 1: scramble and averaged eight point nine yards to go on
Speaker 1: those third down attempts. So that is getting the job done, big, big,
Speaker 1: big time. Let's go ahead and hear from QB one
Speaker 1: on what he thought made the team successful in offense.
Speaker 1: I think Mike did a great job calling calling place today.
Speaker 1: He put us in a really good position to get
Speaker 1: yards after catch on on plays trying to move move
Speaker 1: the spot for the defenders, um d lineman too, you know,
Speaker 1: getting back there. And I think for as much as
Speaker 1: we passed with what maybe two sacks that that we had,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a really good job up front.
Speaker 1: I think, Um, you know a lot of things uh
Speaker 1: married with with you know, routes, action passes with within
Speaker 1: the run game. So you know, I think we we
Speaker 1: felt really comfortable, Um, you know after moving the ball
Speaker 1: the first first series, you know, second series, started feeling
Speaker 1: really comfortable, you know, just going with with the game plan.
Speaker 1: So he finishes this day of thirty six an eighty
Speaker 1: two passing yards, three touchdowns, doesn't turn the ball over,
Speaker 1: no dropped picks either, and had a one thirty eight
Speaker 1: point seven passer rating on the season to one thirty
Speaker 1: of one eight six. That's seventy completion for one thousand,
Speaker 1: six hundred seventy eight yards. That's nine point oh two
Speaker 1: yards per pass attempt, twelve touchdowns, three interceptions, and a
Speaker 1: one twelve point seven passer rating. Gosh darn. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and take our first break here and come back
Speaker 1: with takeaways two through five that's coming your way next.
Speaker 1: On the Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to
Speaker 1: you by Auto Nation Sunday night recap potentially Monday morning,
Speaker 1: depending on when you get to this podcast, either during
Speaker 1: the Packers and Bill's game at some point or on
Speaker 1: your Monday morning commute. We appreciate you checking us out
Speaker 1: for your first Dolphins listen of the day here on
Speaker 1: the Drivetime Podcast, takeaway number two from Miami's thirty one
Speaker 1: to twenty seven victory on the road in Detroit is,
Speaker 1: if takeaway number one is about number one, the number
Speaker 1: two is about number ten and seventeen. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of numbers, but a cheetah and a Penguin. How good
Speaker 1: are these guys for Jalen. It started early on that
Speaker 1: fourth down conversion on the opening drive, which when that
Speaker 1: when they got to that fourth and short after Tyreek
Speaker 1: had the great play before the play on the screen
Speaker 1: to get I think it was ten yards on third
Speaker 1: and fourteen. I'm like, you're going for this right here
Speaker 1: because you're in in the kind of no man's land
Speaker 1: part of the field, can't really punt. I only want
Speaker 1: to kick a field goal. And they go to one
Speaker 1: of the most reliable, surehanded guys in Jelyn Waddle, and
Speaker 1: on that play, I was so impressed with just the
Speaker 1: application of skills to put himself in position to make
Speaker 1: that play. And this is what this is what both
Speaker 1: of these guys do time and time again that you
Speaker 1: don't see when you're just watching the game on TV.
Speaker 1: If you want to go back and watch the tape
Speaker 1: and break it down, you'll see it because they are
Speaker 1: two of the very best at this in the game.
Speaker 1: With running their routes at every level of the route.
Speaker 1: Number one the release, it's so hard to get jams
Speaker 1: and these guys, especially with all the motions, the bunches,
Speaker 1: the stacks and the fact that they're really dang good
Speaker 1: in the release package. He just it's tough to get
Speaker 1: hands on him. And then the way he attacked this
Speaker 1: particular play inside leverage means the cornerback is walling off
Speaker 1: inside route, so he is ready to cut you off
Speaker 1: on the inside and then break across your face to
Speaker 1: make a play on the outside. And Jalen's running a
Speaker 1: speed out, which is a five yard out route, and
Speaker 1: so that's a tough leverage to run that route against.
Speaker 1: And what does Jalen do But he releases to put
Speaker 1: that cornerback back on his heels, so he's like protecting
Speaker 1: against that inside leverage, basically being threatened that he might
Speaker 1: get turned around to run that inside part of the field.
Speaker 1: Then the way Jalen puts his right foot in the
Speaker 1: ground and leans into the top of the route, it
Speaker 1: just really keeps that defender on his hills, not on
Speaker 1: his toes, because then when he snaps the route off
Speaker 1: at the top of the stem, he is then working
Speaker 1: from a position of defense opposed to an attacking position,
Speaker 1: and that allows him to create all that separation at
Speaker 1: the top of the route. Really text book stuff there
Speaker 1: from Jalen Waddle. The slot fade where he wins immediately
Speaker 1: and if you don't get hands on him on that
Speaker 1: look against man coverage without any safety help. We talked
Speaker 1: about the man cover just lines defense was gonna play
Speaker 1: in this game and the podcast on Thursday right one
Speaker 1: of the more man heavy defenses in the NFL per
Speaker 1: NFL True Media. We saw it on that play no
Speaker 1: safety help. Jalen Waddle one on one against your slot cornerback,
Speaker 1: I like Waddle against anybody in the NFL. On that
Speaker 1: he wins immediately, stacks Hi gets on top and never
Speaker 1: had a chance from their perfect throw, big catch twenty
Speaker 1: nine yard touchdown play. How about the catch off his
Speaker 1: frame on the one ball that I would probably say
Speaker 1: to maybe didn't throw his his best or perfectly like
Speaker 1: he was for most of this game. Wattle has a
Speaker 1: catch hide away off his frame. All he does is
Speaker 1: go up and secures it, pulls it back into his body,
Speaker 1: makes a big time catch to move the chains once again.
Speaker 1: Electric electric stuff. And speaking of electricity, how about the
Speaker 1: Cheetah man. I love watching him play with o J
Speaker 1: McDuffie because o J is just. I've never seen o
Speaker 1: J so at a loss for words about a player
Speaker 1: and obviously a receiver that O J loves to to
Speaker 1: evaluate and talk about. Just the way Tyreek competes and
Speaker 1: makes you know, every one of them seemingly on the
Speaker 1: contested catches, he pulled them all down like it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna catch everything. The fear he strikes in
Speaker 1: the defense, how many of those open shots you know
Speaker 1: in the intermediate middle portion of the field is just
Speaker 1: Tyreek pushing up with lightning fast speed runs the defensive
Speaker 1: back or the safety or whoever might be off of
Speaker 1: their landmark and then just shows his numbers back to
Speaker 1: the quarterback for four or five six yards of separation
Speaker 1: twelve eighteen yards off the football. I've never seen anything
Speaker 1: like it. It's awesome to watch. The way he attacks
Speaker 1: everything is so special. Coach had mentioned in this summer
Speaker 1: that Tyreek raises the standard of the entire football team
Speaker 1: by the way he goes about things, which is why
Speaker 1: I loved it when Tyreek was asked after the game
Speaker 1: about this game and what was the first thing to
Speaker 1: talk about some corrections they can make. Yeah, where I
Speaker 1: feel like we can be light years better, you know,
Speaker 1: and and stars with me, you know, being the leader
Speaker 1: of this you know, young receiver group, you know, preaching
Speaker 1: to the guys that we gotta get in out of
Speaker 1: the hottle faster. You know, we gotta do the smaller
Speaker 1: things right. You know, we all want to make players,
Speaker 1: we all want to you know, be in the spotlight,
Speaker 1: you know, but we gotta we gotta make sure that
Speaker 1: we do you know, the small things by get not
Speaker 1: getting out of getting out of the hotel, you know,
Speaker 1: making sure that we're said so too. It can go
Speaker 1: through all of his reads. So once we get it,
Speaker 1: get like get that clear, you know, we start working
Speaker 1: on all those small things, I feel like we will
Speaker 1: be exactly where we want to be. Let's go back
Speaker 1: to coach to hear what he had to say about
Speaker 1: Tyreek and Jalen and the team effort involved to get
Speaker 1: them their production. A lot goes into their production. They
Speaker 1: work their tail off. They know how much they mean
Speaker 1: to this team. But it's also a collection of individuals
Speaker 1: um working with them, um to. You know, every person
Speaker 1: on our team knows that they can score on every touch.
Speaker 1: So the stuff that we have to do up front,
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that the other eligibles have to do,
Speaker 1: UM it is a full commitment for their success because
Speaker 1: they are so dangerous with the ball in their hands.
Speaker 1: It's something we try to play to UM but as
Speaker 1: a full commitment by all players on the offense. And
Speaker 1: you know, they get excited when their stats are high
Speaker 1: because they know how much they have contributed to that UM.
Speaker 1: And we had a bunch of you know, key plays
Speaker 1: from Mikeasecki, Trent Sherfield, UM, you know Raheem mostert Um
Speaker 1: and then you know the play that to A had
Speaker 1: today that that's a if we can get that every week,
Speaker 1: that's a winning formula. That's that is tough to stop.
Speaker 1: Tyreek finishes the game with twelve catches on fourteen targets
Speaker 1: for a buck eight eight and Wattle finishes eight catches
Speaker 1: on nine targets for one oh six and two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: So combined, twenty three pass targets twenty catches that's absurd,
Speaker 1: and and two d and ninety four yards that is
Speaker 1: in two touchdowns. Absolutely unreal. I cannot wait to see
Speaker 1: what they do next. Takeaway number three, how good was
Speaker 1: the defense in that second half? We'll watch the tape
Speaker 1: and give you a more in depth breakdown on the
Speaker 1: Tuesday Draft Time podcast. But my goodness, sixty seven yards,
Speaker 1: no points, and they were so close so many times
Speaker 1: to getting to Jared Goff. They did get the one sack.
Speaker 1: It was a big one. We were so close to
Speaker 1: getting to it before the ball came out. Phillips og
Speaker 1: ball a couple of times right in there that right
Speaker 1: or left Paul right around the football. I kept thinking,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a trip sack. I was telling Seth
Speaker 1: and o j all day, it's coming, it's comming, it's coming.
Speaker 1: It never did, but they kept getting the stops, and
Speaker 1: you know it didn't. They stood their ground. That's all
Speaker 1: that mattered. Made key stops and key moments. Zack Seeler
Speaker 1: was absolutely on one in this game. They just couldn't
Speaker 1: block him for large large periods of this game. He
Speaker 1: batted passes, got that sack, stacked up the runs in
Speaker 1: that game. Very very impressive. I mentioned being so close.
Speaker 1: Phillips just felt like he was an inch away so often.
Speaker 1: His motor, his retrace on screens and run plays and
Speaker 1: run defense in general. The way he can fight inside
Speaker 1: of a guy, get back outside once they bubble, the
Speaker 1: back does around his outside just he can defend multiple
Speaker 1: gaps from that position, which is so valuable to have
Speaker 1: on that edge position when he's not condensing inside and
Speaker 1: playing the multiple roles that he does, so he's very, very,
Speaker 1: very valuable. How about kator Co who's tackling and just
Speaker 1: overall effort, He's he's really good player man, pretty good
Speaker 1: in coverage, but I thought his tackling was exceptional in
Speaker 1: this game once again, and they mix it up for
Speaker 1: each opponent. We saw a handful of one safety looks.
Speaker 1: I'll be curious to get a closer look at this tape,
Speaker 1: but they certainly know how to play the right hand
Speaker 1: to get to the winner circle. Great job of adjusting
Speaker 1: and tightening up in the second half. Let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and hear what head coach Mike McDaniel had to say
Speaker 1: about the second half effort of his defense. There's subtle
Speaker 1: adjustments and there's also UM guys making plays. Uh the
Speaker 1: pass rush cut. Uh. The pass rush got involved a
Speaker 1: little bit more in the second half. Um, we got
Speaker 1: some stops, but really it's a you know, it's one
Speaker 1: of those things where if you get guys to keep playing,
Speaker 1: you can you can survive and uh a barrage of jabs. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, to the chin. Uh, keep your keep your
Speaker 1: head down and just keep chopping wood. Um and eventually,
Speaker 1: you know, our our style of play will come out.
Speaker 1: So UM, there's there was some adjustments, yes, but more
Speaker 1: than anything, Uh, you know, we have a lot of
Speaker 1: prideful guys on that side of the ball, um, players
Speaker 1: and coaches included, and um, they they projected their frustration
Speaker 1: in the appropriate manner. Well Man Coach's answer was awesome.
Speaker 1: I love the way he talks about both successes and
Speaker 1: failures and adversity and how to overcome it. Really really
Speaker 1: inspiring stuff there from Mike McDaniel. Takeaway number four. We
Speaker 1: have to address with the mistakes that plugged us in
Speaker 1: this game, the issues in terms of penalties, some early
Speaker 1: early woes on defense that just lion square ring on
Speaker 1: those first three possessions, in a couple of field goals,
Speaker 1: of fake punt that they executed on. It's never a
Speaker 1: perfect game, right, those don't exist, But I want to
Speaker 1: focus on the penalties because those seem like one of
Speaker 1: the quickest ways we can button things up, clean things up,
Speaker 1: and really take our game to another level here as
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Uh, coach kind of felt the same way.
Speaker 1: I felt like in terms of things that you can
Speaker 1: control the Dolphins, as he said in this press conference answer,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the part right after that that the
Speaker 1: Dolphins committed eight penalties in the first half that were
Speaker 1: declined and they were charging the game with seven penalties
Speaker 1: for fifty five yards that were accepted and assessed. I
Speaker 1: was I was wondering during the game if there was
Speaker 1: an emphasis across the league or whatever the case may
Speaker 1: be on neutral zone alignment, and let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: go to coach because he addressed that and the fact
Speaker 1: that penalties are way too high still even in a victory. Well,
Speaker 1: there's certain controllables and the ones that really irritate me.
Speaker 1: We knew coming into the game, UM, that that this
Speaker 1: uh that there has we have to be um mindful
Speaker 1: of our pretty snap alignment. Just knowing that, UM, you
Speaker 1: know we've been uh you know people are looking to
Speaker 1: throw penalties on that. UM I think around the league
Speaker 1: in general. And so we went in making that a
Speaker 1: point and it didn't get done. UM. Those one those
Speaker 1: type of things are controllable. UM. Then you look at
Speaker 1: you know, where, where and what type of penalties are happening. UM,
Speaker 1: you know, same thing that we did. I think, uh
Speaker 1: it was the Minnesota game. We had a ton and
Speaker 1: we were able to tighten it up against Pittsburgh. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, you just have to make a point of emphasis,
Speaker 1: take each penalty individually and coach off of it so
Speaker 1: that we can um improve, not put ourselves in such
Speaker 1: tough spots on both sides of the ball unnecessarily. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those were a killer for for big periods of the game.
Speaker 1: They seem to happen with the worst moments to you
Speaker 1: gotta get it fixed. But you're always happy to win
Speaker 1: and learn those lessons opposed to losing and getting those lessons.
Speaker 1: And we finish up here with number five takeaway number five,
Speaker 1: the unsungs and miscellaneous. We don't give enough love on
Speaker 1: these Sunday shows to the offensive line because I have
Speaker 1: to see the tape first before I can give you
Speaker 1: individual breakdowns, you know, player by player. But golly, they
Speaker 1: were good. I can tell you right now. It was
Speaker 1: good because I saw the impact of those clean pockets.
Speaker 1: How much time to have had on key downs when
Speaker 1: they weren't rushing, when they were bringing the blitz just
Speaker 1: to get through things. To Ron Armstead, both in space
Speaker 1: as a blocker locking down that left side. Didn't really
Speaker 1: hear much of Aidan Hutchinson's name today. He was fantastic
Speaker 1: as always. Liam Eichenberg I thought was putting together another
Speaker 1: really good game before he got injured and taking off
Speaker 1: on a car. Get well, student number seventy four, We're
Speaker 1: thinking about you. Connor Williams. Just continue to be so
Speaker 1: impressed by the way he gets movement in the running
Speaker 1: game but also squats and holds that anchor in the
Speaker 1: middle of the past protection. Rob Hunt plenty of movement
Speaker 1: off that right side in the running game for Raheem
Speaker 1: Moster in this game as well, and then again, you know,
Speaker 1: pass protection on the right side I thought was dang good.
Speaker 1: And speaking of that brand Shell right there alongside Rob
Speaker 1: Hunt making some key blocks, pushing the pushing the defensive
Speaker 1: line and getting some good pass protection. You know, to
Speaker 1: address this in his press conference talking about the different
Speaker 1: angles and launch points for where they kind of move
Speaker 1: him in terms of the pocket and create different uh
Speaker 1: landmarks for the quarterback to get to with his dropbacks.
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously some of that boot action helps
Speaker 1: with that. The execution certainly helps that. But Mike McDaniel
Speaker 1: doing a great job in this offensive staff of scheming
Speaker 1: up some plays that get to a you know, on
Speaker 1: the move a little bit changing the vision point I
Speaker 1: should say that the landmark of the quarterback to ultimately
Speaker 1: change the vision of those pass rushers. Obviously all that
Speaker 1: jet sweep stuff that kind of keeps them second guessing
Speaker 1: where their first step should be. It just all kind
Speaker 1: of works together to create better pockets to get some
Speaker 1: space in the running game, which, by the way, where
Speaker 1: he most dirt average four point six yards per rush
Speaker 1: once again, fourteen for sixty four. Those five yard runs
Speaker 1: on the first down, man, they're so valuable or even
Speaker 1: better the eight nine yard runs that give us those
Speaker 1: fun second and short looks. But those five yard run
Speaker 1: is where he's getting hit or contacted, you know, after
Speaker 1: a yard or two or three, and he lunges forward
Speaker 1: for an extra couple of yards, So so crucial. He's
Speaker 1: rolling the speed, looks good, surfing the wave and those
Speaker 1: outside zone runs. Big fan of what Raheem's doing. Thomas
Speaker 1: Morstead nailed his one punt in a big spot with
Speaker 1: really good coverage by key on crossing thirty eight yard kick.
Speaker 1: Uh when a tackle immediately with no return to down
Speaker 1: them with the eleven yard line. We needed a big
Speaker 1: field flip there. Mike a Sicky another big touchdown catch.
Speaker 1: Trent Sherfield some big catches and a great tackle on
Speaker 1: the one kickoff return the lines had he gets the
Speaker 1: ball carrier down with the fifteen yard line and also
Speaker 1: give him the touchdown. Two for should have been two
Speaker 1: for twenty six and a score whatever. Jason Sanders hits
Speaker 1: all four extra points and his loan field goal a
Speaker 1: forty five yard I thought Duke Riley made some nice
Speaker 1: places in that linebacker position. Christian Wilkins had that big
Speaker 1: tackle for lost late in the game. Let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and given up for the unsungs in this game. Let's
Speaker 1: also get to our last break on the other side. Here,
Speaker 1: we'll play the play. Before the play, we'll do the
Speaker 1: teaching tape, and stay tuned after the outro for a
Speaker 1: segment on postgame show on five sixty w q AM.
Speaker 1: That's all next Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought
Speaker 1: to you by AutoNation. Final segment on a victory Monday
Speaker 1: or Sunday night, depending on when you download this edition
Speaker 1: of the Drivetime Podcast. I am your host, Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 1: Dolphins win in Detroit for their second straight victory, their
Speaker 1: fifth of the season to get to five and three.
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears at Soldier Field next week, one o'clock Sunday,
Speaker 1: November six, the next Miami Dolphins game. Let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and do our play before the play and the teaching
Speaker 1: tape before we get out of here, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: play a segment for you guys in the post game
Speaker 1: show with me, Seth and Juice on five sixty w
Speaker 1: q AM down here in Miami. And the play before
Speaker 1: the play was the play where cater Cohu shoots in
Speaker 1: and makes a tackle for loss on a running play
Speaker 1: running wide where the Lions had kind of gained the
Speaker 1: edge on that play it looked like until number one
Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips came in and dented the edge. Jerome Baker
Speaker 1: comes downhill and beats a block of his own, and
Speaker 1: then kator Co who shoots in and cuts the thing
Speaker 1: down for a loss on the play. If a Lions
Speaker 1: get positive yardage, if they get no game there, who
Speaker 1: knows how much that changes the play call because that
Speaker 1: sets up a third down and long where Zach Seeler
Speaker 1: comes in and gets a huge sack to get the
Speaker 1: Lions offense off the field, so kator Cohu, Jerome Baker,
Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips, the entire Dolphins defense makes a big play
Speaker 1: on second down to set up a big play on
Speaker 1: third down. There was a few options for this in
Speaker 1: this game, and I'm going with this one because the
Speaker 1: defense needed to stop and they got it. My teaching
Speaker 1: tape was the entire first touchdown to Jalen Wandle. This
Speaker 1: play in general was so awesome because the Lions had
Speaker 1: a been of a hybrid coverage look on where you
Speaker 1: had man on one sides on the other side and
Speaker 1: on the man side. We had Tyreek in the backfield
Speaker 1: and Trent Sherfield the only receiver to that side of
Speaker 1: the formation. And Trent Scherfield runs a little hook up
Speaker 1: route which draws two lines defenders. Tyreek Hill runs to
Speaker 1: the flat which draws of course, of course, a defender
Speaker 1: comes down to take number ten and from the other
Speaker 1: side of the formation, afforded by great past protection from
Speaker 1: the Dolphins offensive line and a great job surveying all
Speaker 1: his progressions and reads from to a tongue of byloa,
Speaker 1: here comes Jalen Waddle from the zone side of the
Speaker 1: formation all the way over into the opening into space
Speaker 1: where he's all alone for a room service touchdown because
Speaker 1: of great play design, because of great patience from the
Speaker 1: quarterback and great protection from the offensive line, a good
Speaker 1: throw and a good catch to get yourself in the
Speaker 1: end zone on the board to cut the lead at
Speaker 1: that time down to fourteen seven. That was a teaching
Speaker 1: tape because across the board, the design, protection, quarterback play,
Speaker 1: receiver play was all so very good. That's probably gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot more of this on the Tuesday podcast,
Speaker 1: the All twenty two Breakdown the Stats. Cannot wait for
Speaker 1: that episode. Those are very fun to do after games
Speaker 1: like this, and I can't wait to do it to
Speaker 1: bring you guys another edition here of the Drift Time podcast.

Speaker 1: No mission is too small to take on. A Dolphins
Speaker 1: victory means it's back our favorite segment of the show,
Speaker 1: game Balls Baby. It's time for Travis seven O J
Speaker 1: McDuffie to hand out their game balls on the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins Radio Network, and it's time to hand out some
Speaker 1: game balls for the second straight week. The Dolphins on
Speaker 1: the two game winning streak. The ball was flying all
Speaker 1: over the field today in Miami's thirty one seven victory,
Speaker 1: and I throw it now to our wide receiver and
Speaker 1: house here, Oh j McDuffie, Juice, who gets your game
Speaker 1: ball today? Man? Man, Chakra Shakra Shakra? Man? You know
Speaker 1: what you said it best though, Man, two weeks in
Speaker 1: a row, we're giving out game balls. That's always important.
Speaker 1: You know, we only give out game balls on wins,
Speaker 1: Man and row. Wins are the hardest ones to come by.
Speaker 1: But somebody that shows up every single game home or
Speaker 1: away is my man, Tyreek Hill. I gotta give to
Speaker 1: Tyreek Man fourteen targets, but twelve least since hight Yards
Speaker 1: didn't getting the end zone, but kept the chains moving
Speaker 1: all day long and was putting pressure on teams like
Speaker 1: the whole on Detroit Lions the whole time. Now, ain't
Speaker 1: that look hundred eighty eight yards Big Seth and Travis Dude,
Speaker 1: this dude is going over a hundred six yards four times,
Speaker 1: at least four times this year. You know we've got
Speaker 1: one guy, and I think in Dolphin history that's going
Speaker 1: over a hundred sixty multiple times in one year maybe
Speaker 1: in his career, and Tyreek's done in four games, you know,
Speaker 1: So I like, I love the fact that we've got
Speaker 1: a guy like that, man that is a go to guy.
Speaker 1: But if you look out there, man, we feed off
Speaker 1: of Tyreek. Jason Waddle fees off Tyreek, two of fees
Speaker 1: and counsel on Tyreek. So Tyreek once again going out
Speaker 1: there doing he does big time wide receiver. The guy
Speaker 1: that we you know, we we we knew was the
Speaker 1: difference maker. It's gonna be the guy that could you know,
Speaker 1: to take us over the top in terms of as
Speaker 1: an offensive team. We gave up a lot for him,
Speaker 1: but we're getting all that in return right now. So
Speaker 1: my my game ball goes to Tyreek Hill all day,
Speaker 1: every day. They could give him the game ball every
Speaker 1: single week. He's been that kind of player for us
Speaker 1: so far. Big seth options are a plenty today. What
Speaker 1: do you got for your game? Well, I'm gonna stay
Speaker 1: on this side of the ball. Shaun Wooden somewhere is
Speaker 1: screaming about offensive bias, but I'm sorry, Woody. Today is
Speaker 1: the game for offensive bias. And the only reason I
Speaker 1: can give a game ball to this guy is because
Speaker 1: Jews already gave one the Tyreek Hill, but Jalen Waddle
Speaker 1: the Penguin. Okay, they threw it to him nine times,
Speaker 1: he caught eight of him fellas for a hundred and
Speaker 1: six yards two touchdowns. This is his fourth game over
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. It's the second time he's over two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He's got seven hundred twenty seven yards and five touchdowns
Speaker 1: on the season. If we didn't have Tyreek Hill doing
Speaker 1: things that nobody's done in the history of this game.
Speaker 1: The cheat code is that what the young guys say.
Speaker 1: If you didn't have the cheat code on the other side,
Speaker 1: we would be raving about a Pro Bowl performance in
Speaker 1: the first half of the season by Jalen Waddle. And boy,
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle never shines more than he does when his
Speaker 1: college quarter act is the one throwing it to him.
Speaker 1: Because two of the Wattle is really nice. And let's
Speaker 1: talk about that third down play twenty nine yards out,
Speaker 1: an amazing pass by tah But juice, you thought that
Speaker 1: it might have been overthrown. You can't overthrow Jalen Waddle
Speaker 1: or Tyreek Hill. He runs under the thing and it
Speaker 1: looks like they were playing seven on seven out there.
Speaker 1: An incredible performance by Jalen Waddle to compliment an incredible
Speaker 1: performance by your game ball recipient Tyreek Hill. Two touchdowns
Speaker 1: and one horrible wattle dance not by him because he's
Speaker 1: he's so good at that dance that other teams are
Speaker 1: trying to copy it and they're embarrassing themselves. But talk
Speaker 1: about embarrassing themselves, go find us on Twitter. Myself and
Speaker 1: Travis gave our attempt at the wattle. The spin was
Speaker 1: pretty good. There was outstanding. Yeah, well I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: To spin we got and and if anybody can approve
Speaker 1: the spin, it is this man right here. My game
Speaker 1: ball goes to Jalen wat Well, we're gonna give the
Speaker 1: battle two receivers. It probably has to mean the third
Speaker 1: one is gonna go to a quarterback, and you guys know,
Speaker 1: Travis Wingo Valo va loa, you're gonna get it. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just I almost said, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I almost lost it there with the game ball goes
Speaker 1: to to you heard my man o j say, already
Speaker 1: a perfect game. I mean I once saw a Marrit's
Speaker 1: pitcher throw a perfect game. That was pretty cool. That
Speaker 1: was about as good as we saw today from two
Speaker 1: a Tonga Valoa. I have a lot of plays to
Speaker 1: break down right here. The downfield shots on time, on target,
Speaker 1: the slot fade to Waddle that kept him at high speed,
Speaker 1: which by the way, that four three speeds only were
Speaker 1: getting that touchdown. So good on Waddle for that as well.
Speaker 1: He would have scored from ninety nine yards away. He
Speaker 1: would have scored from nine nine yards away. That's how
Speaker 1: easily the bucket. He's running a distance guy though I
Speaker 1: don't know his eyes. With his body, look to the flat,
Speaker 1: create space over the middle, rip that thing in there,
Speaker 1: that layer and throw a gasicki for the touchdown over
Speaker 1: the linebacker, under the safety coming all the way across
Speaker 1: the field and his reeds. Thing of beauty. The design
Speaker 1: on that first Waddle touchdown, you have man on one
Speaker 1: side of the field, zone on the other side of
Speaker 1: the field. They go stick flat to sherfield tyreek that
Speaker 1: pulls a couple of guys up wall runs the over
Speaker 1: out over the top of that wide open to a
Speaker 1: season great protection, throws it on the money for a touchdown,
Speaker 1: throwing against leverage to put his receivers in a spot
Speaker 1: not run him into big hits. He scrambled for eighteen
Speaker 1: yards on a third and sixteen or a third and six.
Speaker 1: I should say replaces the blitz with the football. He
Speaker 1: blitz me on the front side and with the football,
Speaker 1: but right behind you for easy completions. The field of confidence.
Speaker 1: He goes twenty nine for thirty six two yards, three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one thirty eight points. I've been passer rating on third
Speaker 1: down nine for ten hundred and thirty nine yards to
Speaker 1: tds eighteen rushing. Say that again for ten one thirty nine,
Speaker 1: eight conversions out of ten, including an eighteen yard perfect
Speaker 1: pass rating. Man, that's that's how the hell did they calculate.
Speaker 1: So it's not quite But I looked at if they
Speaker 1: had given him that fourth touchdown, and I say give
Speaker 1: him if if there had been a challenge there, because
Speaker 1: he's scored, go back and watch it. I don't care.
Speaker 1: There's no question Shurefield scored. That means two. It gets
Speaker 1: one extra yard, and he gets an extra touchdown, would
Speaker 1: put him at one point oh three. So still not
Speaker 1: a perfect rating, but perfect I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: what I can take that in perfect week after week
Speaker 1: after week. He is now nineteen and eight as the
Speaker 1: starting last quarterback, eleven and two in his last thirteen starts.
Speaker 1: One of those he only played a quarter in a half.
Speaker 1: So to a tongue of Valoa, he certainly looks like
Speaker 1: he has arrived. We have arrived at our last break.
Speaker 1: Here game balls to a tongue of Bylowa Jalen Waddle,
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill is easy as you like. Dolphins post game
Speaker 1: is driven by gun through Volkswagen. For car buying done,
Speaker 1: you're what You've got to get to gun through Volkswagen again.
Speaker 1: The final score from Detroit Dolphins thirty one lines twenty seven.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the fifth quarter postgame show, brought to
Speaker 1: you by the Palm Beaches
