Speaker 1: doll fans? And welcome to the Drivetime Podcast, part of
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody? It's a special Sunday slash Monday
Speaker 1: edition of the Drivetime Podcast. I am your host, as
Speaker 1: I am every single day here to bring you your
Speaker 1: daily dose every single day Travis Wingfield and on today's show,
Speaker 1: it's all twenty two review, not a Tuesday, but rather
Speaker 1: in all twenty two Monday, we're finishing up the Ravens
Speaker 1: win before we turn the page here and it starts
Speaker 1: with the tape, the numbers, the snap counts, you guys know,
Speaker 1: the drill plus will scan the soul sioal all of
Speaker 1: that and more from the Baptist Health Studios inside the
Speaker 1: Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drivetime Podcast. So
Speaker 1: it's Sunday, a little before noon. The F one race
Speaker 1: coming up, a whole slate of NFL action. My first
Speaker 1: Sunday off to watch it all. I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: excited about it. If you haven't checked out the top
Speaker 1: news story up on Miami Dolphins dot com, please go
Speaker 1: do that tons of good information and insight there for
Speaker 1: you guys on Thursday's win and this Dolphins football team
Speaker 1: ten weeks into the season, and you guys know what
Speaker 1: time it is. It's the All twenty two review. Had
Speaker 1: a great time watching this film, especially on the defensive side.
Speaker 1: And you know these podcasts typically on the Tuesday podcast,
Speaker 1: which again is a little bit earlier this week, I
Speaker 1: talk really fast through these things because I find myself
Speaker 1: getting more and more excited as I detail the information
Speaker 1: that I have gone back and found for y'all to
Speaker 1: put onto the podcast. So stay with me. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and run through this thing. The offense, the defense,
Speaker 1: the numbers, all that fun stuff. And we start on
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the football. Just a few of
Speaker 1: the plays we're looking at here, and I want to
Speaker 1: talk about some of the play sequencing because I think
Speaker 1: the deep shot to Albert Wilson, the blown coverage late
Speaker 1: in the game that helped the Dolphins put this game
Speaker 1: away for sixty four yards from Tunga Voloa to Wilson.
Speaker 1: I think it was a variation of multiple plays throughout
Speaker 1: the game, and I could be wrong on this, but
Speaker 1: if you watch the Adam shaheen screen down around the
Speaker 1: goal line. That's a bunch of rhymes. Early in the
Speaker 1: first half, he goes in motion, Wilson does then runs
Speaker 1: that same replace route where he kind of just angles
Speaker 1: that motion up towards the perimeter right behind the wide
Speaker 1: receiver who clears the space out for him. But the
Speaker 1: first time around, Baltimore has it covered. Later Tongue Bola's
Speaker 1: first play in the game, after replacing an injured Jacoby Brissette,
Speaker 1: he comes out of the pistol, Albert goes in motion again,
Speaker 1: and this time they're late to get over there, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I wonder if that's what they saw to say, Hey,
Speaker 1: if we do this one more time, maybe they take
Speaker 1: the cheese on this, this possible jet sweep, this possible
Speaker 1: inside handoff, especially especially late in the game when the
Speaker 1: ray Wins might be thinking this Dolphins off fence is
Speaker 1: gonna want to kill some clock and trust that defense.
Speaker 1: But they didn't do that. And that's my favorite part
Speaker 1: of this entire game, probably of the entire season, was
Speaker 1: getting aggressive, go win the game with your offense. I'm
Speaker 1: a huge proponent of that and I absolutely love to
Speaker 1: see it in this game and off of play sequencing
Speaker 1: no less fantastic work by the Dolphin's coaching staff. Now
Speaker 1: the long past to Shahem another one of these instances
Speaker 1: I've talked about on the podcast before. You guys know,
Speaker 1: I have my preferences, and this is just Travis Wingfield
Speaker 1: sitting in this podcast studio talking about what he sees
Speaker 1: in a football field. But one of my personal preferences
Speaker 1: is this particular look here another instance of scheming up
Speaker 1: a nice deep shot with good past protection which Max
Speaker 1: protection with was I believe seven guys in past pro
Speaker 1: maybe eight guys in this particular look. But again third
Speaker 1: and short going deep. You know how much I love that.
Speaker 1: It's great high percentage throws. As far as deep throws goes,
Speaker 1: You're never gonna get a higher percentage throw than third
Speaker 1: and short or fourth and short on those instances. And
Speaker 1: this time Shaheen just goes up and makes a fifty
Speaker 1: fifty rebound on a log ball that was over the
Speaker 1: top of Chuck Clark, one of our focuses of the
Speaker 1: preview show earlier in the week, and he took a
Speaker 1: while to get through the jam, but it just didn't
Speaker 1: matter because the pass pro was so good. So that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a theme throughout this podcast. These big plays,
Speaker 1: which they usually are, where a great indicator of all
Speaker 1: eleven guys getting their job done. How about some more
Speaker 1: offensive line protection work on the Mike GHASICKI drop slash
Speaker 1: Marlin Humphrey pass breakup. That's a third and nine play
Speaker 1: on the second drive. I'll let you be the judge
Speaker 1: whether or not it's a drop or a p BU.
Speaker 1: I tend to lean PBu. I think when defensive back
Speaker 1: separates your hands or puts his hands in the football,
Speaker 1: that indicates a pass breakup. But on this play, the
Speaker 1: Dolphins offensive line effectively picked up a seven man blitz.
Speaker 1: How much do you love to hear that seven rushers come,
Speaker 1: No one gets home. And mac Hollands on that play
Speaker 1: as well, ran a beautiful curl route little curl slash
Speaker 1: dig where he takes a couple of steps inside towards
Speaker 1: the curl zone. But that cat blitz got around the
Speaker 1: running back off the outside. Patrick Lair in the situation
Speaker 1: aation for a QB hit, so the ball had to
Speaker 1: come out earlier to Mike. But on that play, mac
Speaker 1: Holland's a nasty route, and that was a theme throughout
Speaker 1: this game for a particular receiver. We'll get to that
Speaker 1: in just one second. I love the way they found
Speaker 1: to get clean pockets in multiple looks. Like we know
Speaker 1: the past, protection has been an issue at times this season,
Speaker 1: and there were some struggles again in this game. We
Speaker 1: know about the outside tackle pressure, which we'll hear about
Speaker 1: later on from both the left and right side, and
Speaker 1: pass pro wasn't great in this game. But they found
Speaker 1: a way to scheme up these really clean pockets for
Speaker 1: these guys Jacobe or two ah to take their shots.
Speaker 1: And there's a play action shot on the first drive.
Speaker 1: It's a slot fade to Mike that went incomplete, but
Speaker 1: they pull Robert Hunt and then Liam and Austin hit
Speaker 1: a double team to steal off the field side uh
Speaker 1: the same side the running back is on Miles Gaskin.
Speaker 1: And they did it again later to open the drive
Speaker 1: in the first half that started the ten yard line.
Speaker 1: The first real bad field position of the game. You
Speaker 1: get a clean pocket, the dig opens up and there
Speaker 1: was just a perfect line of side, a perfect patch
Speaker 1: protection there for the quarterback. And on this particul their play,
Speaker 1: I thought there was a missedread. You get a dig
Speaker 1: route from Preston Williams. The linebackers suck in the outside
Speaker 1: safety and Cover two is giving inside leverage, which means
Speaker 1: that his buttons to the sideline and he wants the
Speaker 1: route to go inside over to his help. And Miami
Speaker 1: did a good job again with the route combination to
Speaker 1: use a backside crossing route to clear out that other
Speaker 1: side of the field safety to create space for this
Speaker 1: dig route. But the ball just didn't come out. The
Speaker 1: ball has got to come out on those particular looks.
Speaker 1: Doesn't come out here, we scramble, throw the football away.
Speaker 1: It's a wasted down. But that whole whole point of
Speaker 1: that was these clean pockets, the finding way to scheme
Speaker 1: them up is only going to create more and more
Speaker 1: deep shots, as it did in the second half of
Speaker 1: this game. I think throughout the course of the rest
Speaker 1: of the season it bodes well for this Dolphins offense.
Speaker 1: A couple more plays here. Albert Wilson caught a screen
Speaker 1: pass early on, and just again to kind of give
Speaker 1: a nod to the offensive line, both Robert Hunt and
Speaker 1: Jesse Davis got out in space and made key blocks.
Speaker 1: Then it's just Albert Wilson making moves he has two
Speaker 1: sharp cuts. Must have learned them from Robert Hunt in
Speaker 1: this game. That freed him a possible tacklers. If you
Speaker 1: can add that element to this offense, and maybe you
Speaker 1: get Will Fuller back, maybe DeVante Parker comes back in
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. I'm getting ahead of myself, but
Speaker 1: maybe in a couple of weeks, maybe we finally get
Speaker 1: the full version of this offense we pictured back in
Speaker 1: the summer. Speaking of the full version of the offense,
Speaker 1: how about Isaiah Ford's game as we get into the
Speaker 1: individuals here, what a game. He had his first catch
Speaker 1: a fantastic whip route to create plenty of space on
Speaker 1: second and nine, and it puts Miami in position for
Speaker 1: a third and one, which they would convert. So great
Speaker 1: job by will Isaiah Ford. Rather to sell an inside route,
Speaker 1: jerk that thing back to the outside. And he also
Speaker 1: did a great job to win a back shoulder type
Speaker 1: of throw from Jacoby on the nineteen yard reception he
Speaker 1: had before the end of that first half. Nice route
Speaker 1: to snap it off right when Jacoby had put it
Speaker 1: out there. I thought this is one of the best,
Speaker 1: one of Jacoby's best anticipatory throws. He's had this entire season,
Speaker 1: maybe his entire career, not really his game, but on
Speaker 1: this play, it was a fantastic throw from Jacoby. Then
Speaker 1: the fifty two yard or was a total coverage bust.
Speaker 1: You got Chuck Clark down in the box. He starts
Speaker 1: to bell out and starts to run to play that
Speaker 1: deep half of the field, but then he just rotates
Speaker 1: out the other way and goes to the middle of
Speaker 1: the field and Isaiah Fords turned free at the land
Speaker 1: scrimmage with a cornerback, and you see the cornerback look
Speaker 1: back like, where the hell are you? Like we we
Speaker 1: focused on Chuck Clark And that's kind of kind of
Speaker 1: communication issues popped up a couple of times in this
Speaker 1: game for them, and it led to big place for
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. So good job by Miami though to capitalize
Speaker 1: on those and some nice running after the catch by
Speaker 1: Isaiah Ford Miles Gaskim. I think his best run of
Speaker 1: the game was the game clinching run in my opinion,
Speaker 1: a second and nine run from the ten yard line
Speaker 1: that he gains eight yards on where it was a
Speaker 1: tough sledding all game long, but he got great blocks
Speaker 1: across the board and just found this tiny crease between
Speaker 1: Jackson and Liam for a nice important seven yard run
Speaker 1: which Miami would later execute and convert, which put the
Speaker 1: game to bed, especially after the touchdown. But getting that
Speaker 1: first down was key. And just the running game right now,
Speaker 1: the entire running back stable. They're just not seeing it
Speaker 1: and hitting it right now. And I know that the
Speaker 1: blocking hasn't always been great, but I think it's getting
Speaker 1: a lot better, and the back's got to do more
Speaker 1: take advantage of what's out there on the tape. From
Speaker 1: my opinion, speaking of the offensive line, thought, Austin has
Speaker 1: obviously been through a bunch this year. We all know
Speaker 1: about that. A a tried intrude, you know, first round
Speaker 1: pick from last year, who's getting his reps in and
Speaker 1: and growing. I think, and I think you see every
Speaker 1: single week that he is getting better. But one thing
Speaker 1: I see on tape every week is a certain demeanor
Speaker 1: that he plays with. He's kind of, let's just say,
Speaker 1: I wrote down a bit of a pest, but that
Speaker 1: doesn't do it justice. He's a bit of an a hole,
Speaker 1: if you want to be honest about it, just in
Speaker 1: the way he plays, great guy, nice guy otherwise, but
Speaker 1: the way he plays kind of a card carry in
Speaker 1: a hole, which you need to have on a football field.
Speaker 1: He finishes through the whistle, he finds work. You see
Speaker 1: him kind of putting his hands on guys and they
Speaker 1: get upset about throughout the course of the game. You
Speaker 1: love to see a guy that can set the tone
Speaker 1: like that. He'll run eight yards down the field when
Speaker 1: the play is beyond him and give Miles or Savant
Speaker 1: or whoever the back is an extra surge. He also,
Speaker 1: like Robert Hunt tends to do every single week, finds
Speaker 1: himself a slack of ribs in this game. What does
Speaker 1: that mean? It's when someone else has engaged in pass protection,
Speaker 1: you don't have work, so you come over and you
Speaker 1: find that man and you put him on his back
Speaker 1: with a big shot to the side. Great job by
Speaker 1: Austin Jackson and Rob Hunt every single game. I love
Speaker 1: the way they're coached to do that. I also think
Speaker 1: he's playing more in control and space. He's been doing
Speaker 1: these little skip step pull action where you kind of
Speaker 1: get you pull to the other side of the formation,
Speaker 1: but does a skip step to get himself clear of it.
Speaker 1: And when he comes around the end the edge and
Speaker 1: those looks or when he climbs to the second level
Speaker 1: as a run blocker. I think his processor is speeding up.
Speaker 1: He's he's getting the things quicker, and he's playing more
Speaker 1: in control. And I think one thing that could really
Speaker 1: help him is if he can start to kind of
Speaker 1: keep his feet more active upon contact. They still go
Speaker 1: dead a little bit when he gets that contact, but
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of progression here from Austin Jackson,
Speaker 1: just from my own perspective on the tape. Speaking of
Speaker 1: offensive line play rob Rob Hunt, Peter Steger said on
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football on Thursday, the first time I watched
Speaker 1: that show in three months because I work every morning
Speaker 1: here at the facility, but having that morning off, he
Speaker 1: said that people around the league are saying Rob Hunt's
Speaker 1: playing at a Pro Bowl level. I think that might
Speaker 1: be accurate. He's playing pretty well right now, and this
Speaker 1: pad level is so good. Fires out of his stance,
Speaker 1: and he's not just getting on blocks like there's so
Speaker 1: many instances where because I've watched Christian Wilkins do this
Speaker 1: all season long, or I've just watched the offensive line
Speaker 1: kind of have its struggles where you see it stack up,
Speaker 1: you see the run play coming in that direction and
Speaker 1: then you just kind of expect the defensive lineman to
Speaker 1: chuck him and shed him and get the tackle. It
Speaker 1: doesn't happen with sixty eight. He's getting on those blocks,
Speaker 1: he's staying on those blocks. And what's more, he's also
Speaker 1: turning guys out of the gap because when you two
Speaker 1: gap and again go watch Christian Wilkins. He's one of
Speaker 1: the best in the NFL at this where you stack
Speaker 1: it up and then you you lock out your arms
Speaker 1: full extensions so that you the guy can't control the rep,
Speaker 1: and then you can use your your eyes to peek
Speaker 1: around either side, stack and peak, as they call it.
Speaker 1: You'll see him doing out here in practice every single day,
Speaker 1: training camp or otherwise. And these defensive linemen are trying
Speaker 1: that on Robert Hunt. But not only is he not
Speaker 1: letting him do that, he's saying, I have to get
Speaker 1: your butt to the right side of this gap so
Speaker 1: my back can get through. And he's doing it. So
Speaker 1: he's not just hitting blocks staying on them, he's turning
Speaker 1: guys and moving them off the spot. And then also
Speaker 1: when he hits these double teams, and this is with
Speaker 1: Jesse Davis most of the time, obviously shoulder to shoulder,
Speaker 1: hip to hip, and that's a two man thing, so
Speaker 1: it's good to see it come together for both of
Speaker 1: those guys. But he does it in a way with
Speaker 1: that kind of right arm into Jesse's left arm where
Speaker 1: he keeps his left arm free and can then get
Speaker 1: another shot on an additional pursuing tackler. And he had
Speaker 1: a couple of catching climbs in this game where he's
Speaker 1: basically impacting two defenders. That's how you get things going
Speaker 1: in the running game. And I kept on watching him
Speaker 1: in the run game, you know, expecting him to lose
Speaker 1: one of these reps, and he's just not doing it.
Speaker 1: He stays on these blocks. I'm feeling really good about
Speaker 1: this transition to guard for Robert Hunt. It appears to
Speaker 1: really really be clicking for him. Speaking of the rest
Speaker 1: of the offensive line here, I thought that Liam had
Speaker 1: some good doubles and an excellent block in space on
Speaker 1: the Albert Wilson end around in the fourth quarter. Talked
Speaker 1: a little bit about some of the struggles across the
Speaker 1: board in past protection leam mount tackle Jesse at right tackle,
Speaker 1: some of the stuff across the interior. Austin writer had
Speaker 1: a couple of situations, and I talked about Rob Hunter.
Speaker 1: He too got beat a couple of times in pass pro,
Speaker 1: so just in pass pro. Not their their greatest night,
Speaker 1: But I think this offensive line is coming a long
Speaker 1: long way in terms of their run blocking, and we'll see.
Speaker 1: I think it's hard to take advantage of that here
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season. Talked about one
Speaker 1: of Jacoby's best throwers. I wanna talk about two more.
Speaker 1: I thought he had three really nice throws in this game.
Speaker 1: First and tent from the plus forty six. Immediate pressure
Speaker 1: off the left side of the formation, and he gets
Speaker 1: away immediately and throws on the move, right on time,
Speaker 1: right on target to Jalen Waddle. And Waddle, by the way,
Speaker 1: did something on this route that he did all night
Speaker 1: with regularity, and it garnered a tweet from Marlin Humphrey,
Speaker 1: which I put in the top news story today up
Speaker 1: on Miami Dolphins dot com. But Waddle gets a free
Speaker 1: release working off a stack, which means there's a guy
Speaker 1: right in front of him. This time, I think it
Speaker 1: was Durham Smith. Maybe Mike Kisiki didn't write the note down,
Speaker 1: but it was a big tight end. He pushes inside
Speaker 1: to force Humphrey to do a head whip where you
Speaker 1: know Humphreys basically committed to the inside route and then
Speaker 1: Jalen cuts that thing back to the outside with a
Speaker 1: nasty just a nasty nasty cut back to the outside,
Speaker 1: and then Humphrey has to turn his back to the formation.
Speaker 1: You see that forty four from the end zone angle
Speaker 1: and he tries to close down the out route, but
Speaker 1: it's too much space there for Waddle, who comes out
Speaker 1: of this outcut from a nasty split. Nasty split is
Speaker 1: in tight to the formation and it gave Jacoby tons
Speaker 1: of space to work with, which he needed because of
Speaker 1: that pressure. But it was a good throw and a
Speaker 1: phenomenal route. And we're gonna talk about while here and
Speaker 1: just one secon because the entire segment did a kid
Speaker 1: to Waddle's route running in this podcast. I thought it
Speaker 1: was his best game as a professional. Another one of
Speaker 1: Jacoby's best throws the shot to Shaheen before the half.
Speaker 1: He's good on those low ball into congested area type
Speaker 1: of throws where he can drive it to the ground
Speaker 1: and take his man to the ground. Think about mac
Speaker 1: hollins throw the touchdown last week and against Houston, did
Speaker 1: it again here to Shaheen to put that ball away
Speaker 1: from danger and a big reception there for the Miami Dolphins. Alright, Waddle,
Speaker 1: Oh man o, buddy, this was a fun, fun tape
Speaker 1: for Jalen Waddle. First, before we talked about the route running,
Speaker 1: go look at his blocking downfield on the Albert Wilson
Speaker 1: reverse in the early minutes of the fourth quarter. When
Speaker 1: we talk about the route running, and pair that with
Speaker 1: what he does in the blocking game, big fan, big,
Speaker 1: big fans so early on the motion and you know,
Speaker 1: having Albert Wilson part of this game plan, primarily on
Speaker 1: those fly sweep actions the end around the double pass
Speaker 1: attempt they ran. I think this was a great idea
Speaker 1: all night long because it kind of freed up Waddle
Speaker 1: to do some more downfield route running. And when you
Speaker 1: watch this game on tape, you'll see why that's a
Speaker 1: dangerous thing for the opposing defense. On the thirty five
Speaker 1: yard reception, I think you saw what he could do
Speaker 1: with it. There are chances opening up for him in
Speaker 1: this offense, and I think is the offensive line continues
Speaker 1: to gel, it's going to get incrementally better. And if
Speaker 1: they can keep at it, keep quarterback one healthy and upright.
Speaker 1: Then I think you're gonna start to really see some
Speaker 1: of these things pop. Some more instances of that third
Speaker 1: and nine on the sack. On the opening drive, he's
Speaker 1: the three to the or the three to the field,
Speaker 1: goes in motion to a nasty split again and tied
Speaker 1: to the formation, and Jalen pushes five yards beyond the
Speaker 1: sticks and whips that thing back to the outside, right
Speaker 1: behind the flat defender. And the pass rush just barely
Speaker 1: got home and the balls out, balls not out. He
Speaker 1: takes a sack. The ball could have come out on
Speaker 1: time and made a completion, but it doesn't get out,
Speaker 1: and the Ravens overload this pressure and use dummy pressure
Speaker 1: to rotate and fill, and Robert Hunt pulls over to
Speaker 1: the other side of the formation to help out, but
Speaker 1: pushes the stunting nose right into the two Austin's writer
Speaker 1: and Jackson and creates a lane for the Ravens to
Speaker 1: come down downhill on a pass rush. But on that route.
Speaker 1: If you watch the All twenty two, go watch waddle.
Speaker 1: He creates tons of space and turns his man around.
Speaker 1: There's a throwaway to start the second drive. The dig
Speaker 1: route is there. Linebacker steps up. We talked about it
Speaker 1: already on the run action protection is good. Ball has
Speaker 1: to come out. It does not. But away from that play,
Speaker 1: Wattle runs from the one to the field, which is
Speaker 1: the wide side of the formation, the furthest split out receiver.
Speaker 1: He runs right at the middle of the field safety
Speaker 1: who is in cover three, So he has the middle
Speaker 1: half and you have two cornerbacks that have the outside
Speaker 1: halfs in that particular look. And just again watch the
Speaker 1: end zone angle on that play. If you have the
Speaker 1: all twenty two. The acceleration from the time that he
Speaker 1: takes his route from getting vertical to going sideways, he flies.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's on fast forward and everybody else
Speaker 1: is in regular motion. It's phenomenal the speed this guy
Speaker 1: plays with. Later to his first throw, Mike takes the
Speaker 1: point on a stack which again Stacky receivers up to
Speaker 1: create free releases, and Waddle does a good job of
Speaker 1: staying inside his man so that Humphrey has to come
Speaker 1: over the top of that pick and it creates plenty
Speaker 1: of space for two of to Waddle. Just continue to
Speaker 1: good picks, good route combinations, good route running. To his
Speaker 1: first third down conversion, again he hits Marlon hun or
Speaker 1: rather the first third down play not a conversion. They
Speaker 1: went incomplete, but he gets Humphrey again and Humphrey gets
Speaker 1: turned around and slips out of the break. He's putting
Speaker 1: all Pro cornerbacks on the ground with the route running
Speaker 1: the slot fade that drew the defensive pass interference. He
Speaker 1: slow plays the release off the line, and the moment
Speaker 1: he hits the Jets, you see Humphrey inank up the
Speaker 1: urgency and the only way he was gonna be able
Speaker 1: to keep up was to grab Ahold. He does DP
Speaker 1: I first and ten at the one yard line, and
Speaker 1: go watch this game. Go watch seventeen. It was a
Speaker 1: clinic on route running, and I'm very excited about what
Speaker 1: he could be to a tongue. Boy Low comes into
Speaker 1: the game second half of talk about his game. I
Speaker 1: really appreciate the way he navigates the pocket with his
Speaker 1: eyes up down field on that weird early misfire to
Speaker 1: Mike Kasicki, where you might be thinking, man, the finger
Speaker 1: is really bothering him. What the heck was that throw?
Speaker 1: It's way off target. But if you go back and
Speaker 1: watch it, it's a miscommunication all the way. And those
Speaker 1: are obviously a killer because it would have been third
Speaker 1: and short instead of third and ten, which they did
Speaker 1: not convert. But on that play you see Mike slowly
Speaker 1: like check up, like I'm gonna set this route down
Speaker 1: right here, and two it goes to pull it the
Speaker 1: trigger and then Mike takes back off again, so it's
Speaker 1: like a check up or continue that route and really
Speaker 1: and and just continue onto those side of the formation.
Speaker 1: They're just not on the same page. There's no one
Speaker 1: you know, that's a fault we can't place because we're
Speaker 1: not part of the play call. But it wasn't just
Speaker 1: an errant throw like it was a miscommunication. So one
Speaker 1: I saw one thing, the other guy saw something else.
Speaker 1: Also for two of the first r P O look
Speaker 1: just a nice way of creating multiple conflicts and passing lanes.
Speaker 1: And this is a short game to Albert Wilson. But
Speaker 1: you fake the handoff and you read number six, who's
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen on that Ravens defense and he stays in
Speaker 1: the first lane. As Mike gets Sicky from the tube,
Speaker 1: which is the second receiver for this from the outside,
Speaker 1: runs a slant and Queen stays in that lane, so
Speaker 1: he's off the line. Don't hand it off. He's in
Speaker 1: that passing lay on the first lane, don't throw it there.
Speaker 1: So he throws in behind that to the second passing window,
Speaker 1: which clears to Albert Wilson, who runs a Texas route
Speaker 1: go outside, cross space, back inside, usually running back route,
Speaker 1: but he runs this from the one position to that
Speaker 1: side of the formation, and it sets up a manageable
Speaker 1: third and three that they would convert on the flee flicker.
Speaker 1: It's really too bad that Klaas Campbell came right down
Speaker 1: the middle and pressured that thing early, because that ball,
Speaker 1: you know, if it gets back to two a sooner,
Speaker 1: both Albert Wilson and Preston Williams are ten yards behind
Speaker 1: the defense. But it was never gonna get down that
Speaker 1: field because two has two guys running free right his face,
Speaker 1: and there are already forty yards away. So if you
Speaker 1: crank that thing sixty yards down the field with pressure
Speaker 1: in your face kind of falling away from those guys,
Speaker 1: that's basically what you would have needed. And then you
Speaker 1: also have time for the safeties to catch up and
Speaker 1: get under that ball. It just wasn't gonna happen. But
Speaker 1: a good job to kind of hot potato that thing
Speaker 1: say you know you want the ball. I don't want
Speaker 1: the ball. You take the ball in a nice ten
Speaker 1: yard game. There the thirty five yard throw, which is
Speaker 1: a couple of plays later to a Waddle. The route
Speaker 1: design the pass pro all beautiful. One of the best
Speaker 1: players of the season for the Miami Dolphins. I think
Speaker 1: to what was actually just a half beat late on
Speaker 1: this throw, But it didn't matter. I think if he
Speaker 1: would have wanted it back, he would have thrown it
Speaker 1: one hitch earlier in the progression for himself. It was
Speaker 1: the same result though, because Waddle comes off the line
Speaker 1: like an absolute screaming banshee like you see the suddenness
Speaker 1: and the burst and the speed which can create vertical
Speaker 1: opportunities when pass pro isn't holding up as well because
Speaker 1: of that speed. But he turns number twenty one Anthony
Speaker 1: Averett completely around and this belongs in the Wattle route
Speaker 1: file as well. But then he slams on the brakes,
Speaker 1: breaks this thing off to the corner, and that in
Speaker 1: Anthony avery It doesn't know what's happening. He's been put
Speaker 1: in the spin cycle. He breaks this thing back to
Speaker 1: the corner, and the ball's coming out and gasik. He's
Speaker 1: crossing route from the front side of the formation, holds
Speaker 1: that underneath the fender and it gives to a small lane,
Speaker 1: a small window, and he layers that thing beautifully. Next
Speaker 1: gen stats had at a forty six air yards and
Speaker 1: it was a thirty point six percent completion probability and
Speaker 1: he nails it. Fantastic throw, fantastic play. Oh and guess
Speaker 1: what Albert Wilson was in jet motion again. I think
Speaker 1: that was a big key in this game. There's a
Speaker 1: third and eight play later, a shot to Isaiah Ford
Speaker 1: from midfield. The snap is wide and low to it,
Speaker 1: reaches down by his ankles and grabs it one handed.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he even got that thing and then picks
Speaker 1: it up and throws a strike to Isaiah Ford, who
Speaker 1: makes a tough contest and catch, but again back to Waddle.
Speaker 1: Looks like he was open on the drive concept, which
Speaker 1: is two routes that try to separate high and low
Speaker 1: for the defense to to kind of create that conflict,
Speaker 1: and waddles behind Ford for an even bigger completion, and
Speaker 1: you even see him reach his hands up to catch
Speaker 1: the football, but it was rule a half yard shore
Speaker 1: on the Ford catch could have been a potential dagger
Speaker 1: if they hit that route and once again waddle wide
Speaker 1: open very next drive. The play that put Miami on
Speaker 1: the doorstep of victory. Twenty one for Baltimore just came
Speaker 1: up on the play fake and once he sees two
Speaker 1: A pull that ball out of Miles belly, he turns
Speaker 1: and runs, but it's obviously too late. They stayed with
Speaker 1: that look all game long. Albert Wilson gets up the
Speaker 1: sideline and twenty one doesn't see him. You see him
Speaker 1: immediately once that ball comes out of the belly. He
Speaker 1: takes back off because he knows that he was responsible
Speaker 1: for that look back there, I think is what I'm seeing.
Speaker 1: Or he just knew that someone blew it, so he
Speaker 1: goes back that way. But the ball to Wilson on
Speaker 1: time on target. Don't miss those throws, he didn't. It's
Speaker 1: a game clinching type of play. There was a few
Speaker 1: more off target throws, and you're used to from two
Speaker 1: in this game, and you'll see that in the stats portion.
Speaker 1: But I really liked the plan for him on some
Speaker 1: of those quick hitters, using the horizontal action both pre
Speaker 1: and post nap, and of course that big throw on
Speaker 1: first and twenty, just making a big play in a
Speaker 1: big spot, the QB sneak to put the ball in
Speaker 1: the end zone. I thought this was a Miami moment
Speaker 1: for two is as. I think ESPN covered that pretty well.
Speaker 1: But all things told, not his best performance throwing the football.
Speaker 1: But when you've got a broken finger and you're eight
Speaker 1: for thirteen with a hundred and fifty eight yards and
Speaker 1: a game clinching drive after the Ravens just went yards,
Speaker 1: if that's like our low bar for a second year quarterback,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be pretty happy with that. My final thought
Speaker 1: on the offense, just needed better execution inside the ten
Speaker 1: yard line. The run game was tough, sledding, passing game
Speaker 1: having a hard time get much going. Penalties. You gotta
Speaker 1: cut those things out. Two false starts into the five
Speaker 1: yard line, an ineligible touch or legal touching on the
Speaker 1: into the ten yard line. Can't do that stuff. It's
Speaker 1: killing this team and they score one touchdown on four
Speaker 1: trips inside the ten yard line. Gotta get that fixed.
Speaker 1: So we always start with the offense first, with the
Speaker 1: defense deserved at this time, But we didn't change it
Speaker 1: because that's what we do. Baby. But on the defense. Now,
Speaker 1: we talked about the Ravens twelve and twenty one personnel
Speaker 1: packages in the preview episode, which means two tight ends
Speaker 1: or two running backs, and that called upon for a
Speaker 1: lot of base style defenses out of your Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: including lots of bear front switch. You You're gonna put
Speaker 1: a a defensive lineman over the center over and over
Speaker 1: each guard zero technique and two two techniques, and then
Speaker 1: your outside backers play quasi five techniques and two points
Speaker 1: stands stand up type of roles. There's your bare front
Speaker 1: and also two stack backers, which means you stack a
Speaker 1: backer behind either of the two techniques the two guards,
Speaker 1: and that creates opportunities from gonna run, run free and
Speaker 1: run clean towards the ball carrier. And what did it
Speaker 1: do but produced ninety four rushing yards for the Ravens,
Speaker 1: their second lowest total in the Lamar Jackson era, and
Speaker 1: that scene to play right into Miami strength all night long.
Speaker 1: All these cover corners, not to mention Brandon Jones and
Speaker 1: Javon Holland, who were slot corner slash star role type
Speaker 1: of players their final years in college, and then that
Speaker 1: versatility really helps out. But Baltimore had success early in
Speaker 1: this game with running those kind of pinning those four
Speaker 1: techniques where the tackles would just squeeze the four techniques
Speaker 1: and then using chips and speed to the edge to
Speaker 1: get wide on those outside backers. And I was wondering,
Speaker 1: how are the Dolphins going to adjust to this. There's
Speaker 1: gonna run this ball at those two guys all night long,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a tough night. But Miami did
Speaker 1: adjust by adding more hats into the box, more players
Speaker 1: down there, and primarily the two safeties who came up.
Speaker 1: There were some split safety looks early on. I did
Speaker 1: see Brandon Jones play a stack position early in this game,
Speaker 1: but they kind of got out of the two split
Speaker 1: safety looks and just didn't really do it a whole
Speaker 1: lot after that first series. And they also just executed
Speaker 1: better beating more blocks to gapping, better coaching, production, execution.
Speaker 1: It was all on point in this game. If you
Speaker 1: can't tell it was my favorite tape of the season.
Speaker 1: It was a fun one to watch, and they got
Speaker 1: extra hats in the box in different ways. Even one
Speaker 1: rep here with Byron Jones coming off the edge, you
Speaker 1: know he's gonna go down and take on a pulling
Speaker 1: guard to create a lane for your landing robberts to
Speaker 1: scrape and make a tackle. I love the versatility of
Speaker 1: this defensive backfield. Also the simulated pressure looks with guys dropping.
Speaker 1: It worked to perfection and a big reason why I
Speaker 1: thought when they pulled rushers out of out into the hook,
Speaker 1: and this can be anywhere from Christian Wilkins to Adam
Speaker 1: Butler to Jalen Phillips, They're gonna pull anybody out there,
Speaker 1: damn will please because it creates confusion upfront in these drops.
Speaker 1: They got depth. Get get depth. I'm always calling to
Speaker 1: get depth. Don't just hang out five yards behind the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and cover nobody. Go get your depth
Speaker 1: and find a person and coming in. Nobody had been
Speaker 1: more explosive on crossing routes per next Gen stats than
Speaker 1: these Baltimore Ravens. But they undercut a ton of these
Speaker 1: routes and did it with a guy like Adam Butler
Speaker 1: who gets twelve yards of depth and takes away this
Speaker 1: crossing route. Fantastic work, Adam. In addition to your first
Speaker 1: sack as a Miami Dolphin, great great job by Adam
Speaker 1: Butler doing that even saw Emmanuel Ogba out there and
Speaker 1: the you know he's got terra dactyl wingspan there infecting
Speaker 1: the affecting the passing lane. Great job by this Dolphins
Speaker 1: defense all night long, some of the individuals. Christian Wilkins
Speaker 1: has another long paragraph on this podcast from your boy.
Speaker 1: He's so good. He's so so good. First snap, four technique,
Speaker 1: snatch and chuck right tackle Tyree Phillips five pounds by
Speaker 1: the way, snatches him by the shirt, chucks him to
Speaker 1: the ground. He's on his skis, falling forward like that
Speaker 1: girl that does the popcorn in the movie Theaters Trip
Speaker 1: where she throws the popcorn in the air. He was
Speaker 1: doing that too, guys, all night long, same drive, same
Speaker 1: position inside rip leaves him out over his skis again.
Speaker 1: And this is really all hands to the area where
Speaker 1: I think Christian has taken his game to another level,
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl level. He comes clean and disrupts the
Speaker 1: mesh point on zone read from the pistol, and Lamar
Speaker 1: keeps it to get wide and Brandon Jones flags him
Speaker 1: down step for step. So Christian constantly impacting plays regardless
Speaker 1: of he makes the player not he is. He's been
Speaker 1: so good this year. The next series, Phillips squares up
Speaker 1: and the tight end tries to double him. He doesn't
Speaker 1: move him. The right tackle Tyger Phillips knocks spares him up.
Speaker 1: Tight end comes in, tries to chip him, doesn't move
Speaker 1: and allows a Landon Roberts to come off of his
Speaker 1: button scrape for a tackle. Then he gets off the
Speaker 1: block and makes the tackle with Riley and Roberts. He's
Speaker 1: doing this every single week. Stack up, double teams, get
Speaker 1: off blocks, make the play. Very next play, he's the
Speaker 1: two eye technique, which is the inside shoulder of the
Speaker 1: offensive guard. He beats Bradley Boseman the center across his face,
Speaker 1: so slants across his face and takes him right into
Speaker 1: the backfield and it sets up Ogba, who had a
Speaker 1: strong edge set on that play, on Devonte Freeman for
Speaker 1: a two yard loss. And then finally, second half opening drive,
Speaker 1: he chucks a guy again to make a TfL with
Speaker 1: Andrew Van Ginkl. Christian Wilkins is playing at a Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl level. If you don't agree to go talk to
Speaker 1: a wall. Zach Seiler had some really good rushes where
Speaker 1: he reset the pocket and made Lamar reset his motion
Speaker 1: which had him off rhythm, and we saw how frustrated
Speaker 1: he was throughout the course of this game. The start
Speaker 1: of the second quarter, Seiler holds the point and creates
Speaker 1: a lane for a Landon Roberts to scrape off of
Speaker 1: Roberts scraped off these guys all night long. They played
Speaker 1: so well up front to make a big collision and
Speaker 1: tackle for no gain. A good read on the fullback
Speaker 1: from Roberts here to take him to the football. He
Speaker 1: comes across the formation and make that play and his
Speaker 1: big TfL Seilers, I should say, it was just a
Speaker 1: great call to again get more hats than they can block,
Speaker 1: and Seeler gets turned free. The fullback gets wide for
Speaker 1: a Brandon Jones blitz, and Steeler wins for a big
Speaker 1: play in a big stop. He's playing really well this year.
Speaker 1: We don't talk about it that much, but he is
Speaker 1: playing like he always does. Really strong at the point,
Speaker 1: good against the run, occasional pass rush. Manuel Ogba again
Speaker 1: put him in the movie Swat starring Michael Pania. I
Speaker 1: think it was. I don't remember. I didn't I didn't
Speaker 1: see the movie Ethan Hawk maybe, but put him in
Speaker 1: that movie because he gets one every single week. Eyes
Speaker 1: on the quarterback quit game, keeps his frame clean, doesn't
Speaker 1: let the offensive lineman get into his chest, creates that distance,
Speaker 1: gets the hands up, he leads all defensive lineman and
Speaker 1: passes defense. And he started putting together his pass rush
Speaker 1: plan this game too. And I think it got started
Speaker 1: with that bat because you see Tyree Phillips starting to think,
Speaker 1: I have to get into his chest plate to really
Speaker 1: force him to declare his move and don't let him
Speaker 1: get his hands up in the air. And I think
Speaker 1: he was tired of Manuel getting his hands inside because
Speaker 1: once that happened, he started throwing the cross chop, the
Speaker 1: double swipe, the dip and rip. He was putting all
Speaker 1: kinds of moves on Phillips to cause issues. I was
Speaker 1: a big matchup in this game, and og Bab won it.
Speaker 1: Adam Butler again just the first up explosiveness. It helped
Speaker 1: him get that first career sack as a Miami Dolphin,
Speaker 1: and he was just too quick for the screen game
Speaker 1: to get set up all night long. Big game for
Speaker 1: Adam Butler. Jalen Phillips. His half stack was similar to
Speaker 1: last week. He lined up inside the tackle and wins
Speaker 1: across the face, typically a dip and rip move. Working
Speaker 1: off that explosive first step really is effective for Phillips
Speaker 1: when he condenses inside. And I thought Van Ginkl did
Speaker 1: a great job of keeping his frame clean so that
Speaker 1: he could shed his block when Lamar stepped around that
Speaker 1: pressure and then they met at the quarterback. Good job
Speaker 1: by Jalen to stay with it and keep working. And
Speaker 1: that pursuit on the Lamar Jackson scramble where he basically
Speaker 1: was outflanked and outran Lamar Jackson. I mean they're not
Speaker 1: even even there. He's outflanked by five yards and he
Speaker 1: runs them down. Absolute freak. A guy that can pass
Speaker 1: rush in that interior position and do that, absolute freak.
Speaker 1: Sorry plugging the computer. And I mentioned Andrew van Ginkel
Speaker 1: his uh he forced an errand throw on Lamar early
Speaker 1: in the game with a move on ale Handrea Villaneueva
Speaker 1: to get over set and then win back underneath. That's
Speaker 1: kind of the stuff we saw from him last year.
Speaker 1: Quickness to win with kind of the slippery pass rush moves.
Speaker 1: He gets skinny and he does it with quickness. Had
Speaker 1: a nice upfield move than a crossover step to get
Speaker 1: inside here on Villaneueva to force an air and throw.
Speaker 1: I thought he played super fastness game, did a great
Speaker 1: job staying square as he closed the distance in the backfield,
Speaker 1: but staying in a in a position to turn and
Speaker 1: run so he was able to take on blocks and
Speaker 1: get wide. Good game from Andrew Van Ginkle. I think
Speaker 1: Jerome Baker had his best game of the year that
Speaker 1: toss play to Davantae Freeman at the end of the
Speaker 1: first half. The pursuit outside to take both the threat
Speaker 1: of Lamar's run and that to force the quick pitch
Speaker 1: to Freeman and then to retrace and get wide and
Speaker 1: run him down. Awesome, awesome, awesome play from Jerome Baker,
Speaker 1: Like that's a tough ask and he did both things
Speaker 1: very well on that play. Javon Hallen has a long
Speaker 1: paragraph did you guess that was coming? Second play, big
Speaker 1: run by duvern A comes from depth. Go watch that
Speaker 1: thing on the All twenty two, the depthest of depths,
Speaker 1: and he's on his horse right away and never decelerates
Speaker 1: through the hit. The that he can basically hit a
Speaker 1: Lamborghini when he's in the McLaren running full speed head on.
Speaker 1: He's phenomenal in that regard. He's such an explosive player
Speaker 1: and his past break up, same situation. The natural instincts
Speaker 1: just kicking because you see that he's in position to
Speaker 1: affect two routes, in position to run with Byron Jones.
Speaker 1: Man the help over the top, but Byron's got it.
Speaker 1: So he's like, all right, I'm gonna go then, dog,
Speaker 1: you got it. I'm taking care of this one. He
Speaker 1: starts to close and he gets there right when the
Speaker 1: ball does for a pass breakup. I mean he's ten
Speaker 1: yards away when Lamar Jackson starts to throw this ball,
Speaker 1: but the anticipation puts him right there. Bang. Great play.
Speaker 1: I like the way he and Jones can set tackles
Speaker 1: up with those outside rush lanes to create lanes inside.
Speaker 1: The quickness of the urgency, the speed, the timing. His
Speaker 1: sack wasn't overload with Jerome Baker and Eric Row right
Speaker 1: alongside him, and the back tried to come in and
Speaker 1: cut down Baker, who took a quick angle to the quarterback.
Speaker 1: So a great rush here from Jerome Baker, and that
Speaker 1: gave Hall on the free run, who does not waste
Speaker 1: a step on those outside rushes. He closes that thing,
Speaker 1: angles with the quarterback and puts them, and you've got
Speaker 1: to make a decision right now or you're gonna get
Speaker 1: hit hard type of situation. He's great in that regard.
Speaker 1: Very next play, he baits Lamar Jackson into that deep
Speaker 1: shot that he lays out for. He flips his hips
Speaker 1: to the field and you see Lamar his eyes kind
Speaker 1: of get big, like I'm gonna take this deep shot.
Speaker 1: This dude's open. But nope. He flips back around and
Speaker 1: gets to the boundary, runs over the top of that thing,
Speaker 1: and Hollywood Brown shuts the route down because our Hollywood
Speaker 1: Vaughan was over the top. Impressive, impressive stuff, even though
Speaker 1: there was defensive past interference underneath. Great play. Two plays later,
Speaker 1: he gets outside of a block and then he's that
Speaker 1: he's outflanked on and he helps run the jet pot
Speaker 1: pass to the sideline, forces the ball carrier to bubble
Speaker 1: and never gets stuck on that block. And then Brandon
Speaker 1: Jones shows you his speed and instincts and and just
Speaker 1: acceleration to come over the top and the team up
Speaker 1: for that stop for a short game might have even
Speaker 1: been a TfL. Just these two safeties are playing so
Speaker 1: well right now. And speaking of Jones, the way he
Speaker 1: attacks blocks inside. He made a play because he just
Speaker 1: came downhill on a pair of blocks, the full back
Speaker 1: to his side. He just runs in there and jams
Speaker 1: that thing. He outflanks Lamar and just gets in and
Speaker 1: wax him and wound up in the correct gap, which Wilkins,
Speaker 1: who had obliterated a double team on display, helped them
Speaker 1: win those matchups together for a combined tackle right there.
Speaker 1: So that was the situation all night, all these guys
Speaker 1: finding ways to impact the running lanes and win their matchups.
Speaker 1: Eric Robe, he came a long way for that force
Speaker 1: fumble he had in this game. Unfortunately Baltimore gets it back,
Speaker 1: but great effort and a great tackle. They missed the
Speaker 1: field goal though a great job by getting the ball
Speaker 1: carrier down. Miami just rallied and tackled all night really well.
Speaker 1: He also had a nice tackle in a third intense
Speaker 1: screen passed early in the second quarter to help get
Speaker 1: the defense off the field. Justin Coleman a later third
Speaker 1: and long screen, he blows up the lead block and
Speaker 1: clears a lane for xaviing Howard to come up and
Speaker 1: make an open field tackle. This was the theme of
Speaker 1: the night, the Dolphins just blowing up blocks and beating
Speaker 1: tackles on the perimeter, so the Ravens just couldn't get
Speaker 1: anything going against that zero pressure. Look. Also, he had
Speaker 1: a great pass breakup on that deep ball. Good job
Speaker 1: high pointing it and not interfering with the receiver and
Speaker 1: getting his hands on the football. Now, Xavian Howard's the
Speaker 1: ball skills on the strip you all saw, you all
Speaker 1: know that's what he do. But he was terrific the
Speaker 1: entire game, tackling well outside, successful jams, went up on
Speaker 1: the line, great job playing with an eye inside, but
Speaker 1: then showing the ability to open the hips and go
Speaker 1: get vertical whether it was zone or man pattern matching,
Speaker 1: and the runback was tremendous. He set up blocks and
Speaker 1: got great blocks from Coleman and Agba on that play
Speaker 1: and then Byron Jones again, terrific tackles all night long.
Speaker 1: He hits Mark Yes Brown gets him down a little
Speaker 1: flat route early in the game to get through traffic
Speaker 1: and make a play on the on tackle. He was
Speaker 1: also in good shape on a lot of deep balls,
Speaker 1: never got stacked, played aggressive man him and excess ability
Speaker 1: to fluidly flip between zero, one and three coverages gives
Speaker 1: this defense, so much flexibility on top of what these
Speaker 1: safeties can do. Just a great, great game plan, great adjustments,
Speaker 1: great execution. What else can you say? A terrific game?
Speaker 1: Dolphins win. It's a big one. Some PFF numbers and
Speaker 1: next Gen numbers two a here fourth quarter three for
Speaker 1: five ninety three yards. That's eight teen point six yards
Speaker 1: per pass, and it improved his fourth core quarterback rating
Speaker 1: to one oh four point seven, which is the fourth
Speaker 1: highest since nine and his twelve touchdowns this stack courtesy
Speaker 1: of C. K Parrott on Twitter. His twelve touchdowns on
Speaker 1: one d and thirty nine plays is the highest percentage
Speaker 1: of touchdown plays of any quarterback over that span in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So again, the lightscap bright to a
Speaker 1: place his best twenty plus yard throws two for two
Speaker 1: yards under pressure, three for five seventy nine yards. Next
Speaker 1: Gen has two US completion over expected rate at point eight,
Speaker 1: which is thirteen among all qualifying quarterbacks this year. I
Speaker 1: think that's even more impressive when you consider his league
Speaker 1: best twenty one point eight percent aggressive rate, which the
Speaker 1: stat judges at the catch point. How much separation is
Speaker 1: their track through GPS between the receiver and the defender.
Speaker 1: If it's one yard or less, it counts as an
Speaker 1: aggresive throw. Two leads the league in aggressive throw percentage
Speaker 1: at twenty one point eight. Joe Burrows next at twenty
Speaker 1: point one. I believe this his time to throw jumped
Speaker 1: up to two point five six seconds, which is a climb,
Speaker 1: still the third quickest in the league. At running backs
Speaker 1: only Wilson, Albert Wilson, and Jacobi Bursett for smith tackles.
Speaker 1: They both had one in the game, and the yards
Speaker 1: after contact average Gaskin one point seven one Savon Akhmed
Speaker 1: two point oh Receivers Isaiah Ford nine point three three
Speaker 1: yards per route, yards per route run wowenty one yards
Speaker 1: per target wow. Albert Wilson five point one two yards
Speaker 1: per route run Wow. Twenty one point eight yards per
Speaker 1: target Wow. Those are crazy numbers. Jalen Waddle one point
Speaker 1: five three yards per route run and ten yards per target.
Speaker 1: But he played the entire game mostly for the most part,
Speaker 1: so those numbers kind of get decreased because you run
Speaker 1: more decoy routes and more complimentary routes. Past protection. Liam
Speaker 1: Eichenberg seven pressures, two sacks and one hit. Austin Jackson
Speaker 1: just two pressures, one hit. Austin Ryder two pressures, no hits.
Speaker 1: Robert Hunt six pressures, one sack and one hit. Jesse
Speaker 1: Davis three pressures and one hit allowed. Jesse Davis I
Speaker 1: think had maybe his best game of the season in
Speaker 1: this one. Defensively pressures Javon Holland six, He leads the
Speaker 1: NFL now among safety's. Andrew Van Ginkl in a manual
Speaker 1: OGA five apiece og bab moved into a tie for
Speaker 1: eight among edge defenders with forty QB pressures this year.
Speaker 1: That ties Shack Barrett of the defending champion Buccaneers. Brandon
Speaker 1: Jones had two pressures and a handful of guys had
Speaker 1: one pressure. Run stops. Van Ginkl, Baker, Roberts Howard all
Speaker 1: had three run stops a piece. Seiler, Brandon Jones, and
Speaker 1: Eric Rowe had to a piece, and a bunch of
Speaker 1: guys had one. Coverage numbers Byron Jones allowed nine catches
Speaker 1: on ten on ten targets. I don't remember it being
Speaker 1: that bad. Hundred and five yards Xavian Howard four or
Speaker 1: five for thirty two yards, Eric Row four or five
Speaker 1: for thirty one yards. Javon Holland one of four completed
Speaker 1: for just six yards. Justin Coleman just one of four
Speaker 1: completed for no yards, also had an interception and a
Speaker 1: pass breakup. Last two weeks one for five going after
Speaker 1: Coleman zero yards, two interceptions and a PBu. That of course,
Speaker 1: is a zero point zero rating. Javon Holland before action
Speaker 1: on Sunday this coming Sunday has the most pressures in
Speaker 1: the NFL by any safety. It's fourteen. Brandon Jones has
Speaker 1: the second most with twelve. And it wasn't just pass rush.
Speaker 1: Holland and coverage on thirty one snaps targeted four times,
Speaker 1: just six yards gained, and Brandon Jones thirty six coverage
Speaker 1: snaps two for three two yards game. These guys are rushers,
Speaker 1: their cover guys. They're really getting done right now. Some
Speaker 1: snap counts real quick. Offensively to have played thirty two,
Speaker 1: Jacobe played thirty seven snaps. Offensive line went wire to wire.
Speaker 1: Waddle led all receivers with sixty one snaps. That was
Speaker 1: eight percent of the workload. Pretty clearly your number one
Speaker 1: receiver here. Albert Wilson thirty eight, Preston Williams eighteen, Mac
Speaker 1: Hollands thirteen, Isaiah Ford eleven. Mike Kasiki continues to play
Speaker 1: a high percentage of snaps pent in this game with
Speaker 1: fifty six snaps. Durham Smith played forty one. Adam Schehen
Speaker 1: played thirty eight. Lots and lots of tight end reps
Speaker 1: for this Dolphins team. Miles Gaskin played forty two snaps
Speaker 1: that was sixty one percent, just sixteen for Laird and
Speaker 1: just nine for savan Akhmed. Christian Wilkins also played two
Speaker 1: snaps on offense. Defensively on the interior, Adam Butler leads
Speaker 1: the way with forty seven snaps. That was six Christian
Speaker 1: Wilkins thirty four, Zach Seedler six, Ray Kwon Davis twenty three,
Speaker 1: John Jenkins three snaps off the edge. We talked about
Speaker 1: the change in the game plan. Andrew van ginkl sixty
Speaker 1: seven snaps that was a season high for him, Emmanuel
Speaker 1: Ogba forty six snaps, Jalen Phillips forty one, and Brendan
Speaker 1: Scarlett two snaps in the game at linebacker. A lot
Speaker 1: of linebacker snaps because of the base defense, the three
Speaker 1: four looks, and Baker off the edge with Van ginkle
Speaker 1: seventy three snaps. Every single rep for Jerome Baker for Roberts,
Speaker 1: twenty six for Duke Riley, and three for Sam Ego Van.
Speaker 1: Cornerbacks Exaving Howard and Byron Jones both played all seventy
Speaker 1: three snaps. Justin Coleman played forty four and Nick Needum
Speaker 1: just five snaps in the game. At safety, Holland and
Speaker 1: Jones both played all seventy three and Eric Rohe plays
Speaker 1: forty four snaps in the game. Let's scan the social
Speaker 1: and get the heck out of here. I want to
Speaker 1: go watch some Sunday football as well as the F
Speaker 1: one race two thousand and two thousand, twenty one classes.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of takes on Twitter about the
Speaker 1: quality of the drafting done around here. One, what are
Speaker 1: you gonna say, because your first three picks right now
Speaker 1: are playing at the high, high level. We know about that.
Speaker 1: Javon Holland six quarterback pressures of sack, five total tackles,
