My first 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.160 Sunday off to watch it all. I'm a little bit 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.400 excited about it. If you haven't checked out the top 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.160 news story up on Miami Dolphins dot com, please go 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.840 do that tons of good information and insight there for 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.479 you guys on Thursday's win and this Dolphins football team 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.000 ten weeks into the season, and you guys know what 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.399 time it is. It's the All twenty two review. Had 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.560 a great time watching this film, especially on the defensive side. 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.040 And you know these podcasts typically on the Tuesday podcast, 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.200 which again is a little bit earlier this week, I 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.919 talk really fast through these things because I find myself 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.520 getting more and more excited as I detail the information 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:46.520 that I have gone back and found for y'all to 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.480 put onto the podcast. So stay with me. Let's go 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.320 ahead and run through this thing. The offense, the defense, 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.920 the numbers, all that fun stuff. And we start on 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.040 the offensive side of the football. Just a few of 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.280 the plays we're looking at here, and I want to 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.360 talk about some of the play sequencing because I think 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.640 the deep shot to Albert Wilson, the blown coverage late 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.360 in the game that helped the Dolphins put this game 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.919 away for sixty four yards from Tunga Voloa to Wilson. 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.360 I think it was a variation of multiple plays throughout 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:14.840 the game, and I could be wrong on this, but 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.880 if you watch the Adam shaheen screen down around the 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.360 goal line. That's a bunch of rhymes. Early in the 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.799 first half, he goes in motion, Wilson does then runs 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.600 that same replace route where he kind of just angles 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.560 that motion up towards the perimeter right behind the wide 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.120 receiver who clears the space out for him. But the 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:36.959 first time around, Baltimore has it covered. Later Tongue Bola's 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.880 first play in the game, after replacing an injured Jacoby Brissette, 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.960 he comes out of the pistol, Albert goes in motion again, 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.880 and this time they're late to get over there, and 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.720 I'm thinking, I wonder if that's what they saw to say, Hey, 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.639 if we do this one more time, maybe they take 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.920 the cheese on this, this possible jet sweep, this possible 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:58.080 inside handoff, especially especially late in the game when the 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.320 ray Wins might be thinking this Dolphins off fence is 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.920 gonna want to kill some clock and trust that defense. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.280 But they didn't do that. And that's my favorite part 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.600 of this entire game, probably of the entire season, was 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.840 getting aggressive, go win the game with your offense. I'm 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.840 a huge proponent of that and I absolutely love to 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.240 see it in this game and off of play sequencing 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.639 no less fantastic work by the Dolphin's coaching staff. Now 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.119 the long past to Shahem another one of these instances 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.200 I've talked about on the podcast before. You guys know, 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.960 I have my preferences, and this is just Travis Wingfield 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.160 sitting in this podcast studio talking about what he sees 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.680 in a football field. But one of my personal preferences 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.120 is this particular look here another instance of scheming up 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.440 a nice deep shot with good past protection which Max 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.920 protection with was I believe seven guys in past pro 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.320 maybe eight guys in this particular look. But again third 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.400 and short going deep. You know how much I love that. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.920 It's great high percentage throws. As far as deep throws goes, 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.119 You're never gonna get a higher percentage throw than third 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.840 and short or fourth and short on those instances. And 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.000 this time Shaheen just goes up and makes a fifty 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.840 fifty rebound on a log ball that was over the 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.840 top of Chuck Clark, one of our focuses of the 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:06.960 preview show earlier in the week, and he took a 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.080 while to get through the jam, but it just didn't 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.240 matter because the pass pro was so good. So that's 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.560 gonna be a theme throughout this podcast. These big plays, 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.200 which they usually are, where a great indicator of all 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.960 eleven guys getting their job done. How about some more 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:25.080 offensive line protection work on the Mike GHASICKI drop slash 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.880 Marlin Humphrey pass breakup. That's a third and nine play 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.640 on the second drive. I'll let you be the judge 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.400 whether or not it's a drop or a p BU. 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.000 I tend to lean PBu. I think when defensive back 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.120 separates your hands or puts his hands in the football, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.359 that indicates a pass breakup. But on this play, the 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:43.200 Dolphins offensive line effectively picked up a seven man blitz. 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.960 How much do you love to hear that seven rushers come, 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.960 No one gets home. And mac Hollands on that play 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.760 as well, ran a beautiful curl route little curl slash 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.719 dig where he takes a couple of steps inside towards 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.640 the curl zone. But that cat blitz got around the 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.000 running back off the outside. Patrick Lair in the situation 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.960 aation for a QB hit, so the ball had to 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.960 come out earlier to Mike. But on that play, mac 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.559 Holland's a nasty route, and that was a theme throughout 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.719 this game for a particular receiver. We'll get to that 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.200 in just one second. I love the way they found 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.440 to get clean pockets in multiple looks. Like we know 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.720 the past, protection has been an issue at times this season, 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.919 and there were some struggles again in this game. We 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.320 know about the outside tackle pressure, which we'll hear about 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.360 later on from both the left and right side, and 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.720 pass pro wasn't great in this game. But they found 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.840 a way to scheme up these really clean pockets for 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.440 these guys Jacobe or two ah to take their shots. 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.520 And there's a play action shot on the first drive. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.680 It's a slot fade to Mike that went incomplete, but 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.760 they pull Robert Hunt and then Liam and Austin hit 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.560 a double team to steal off the field side uh 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.320 the same side the running back is on Miles Gaskin. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.480 And they did it again later to open the drive 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.680 in the first half that started the ten yard line. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.880 The first real bad field position of the game. You 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.479 get a clean pocket, the dig opens up and there 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.000 was just a perfect line of side, a perfect patch 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.440 protection there for the quarterback. And on this particul their play, 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.720 I thought there was a missedread. You get a dig 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.680 route from Preston Williams. The linebackers suck in the outside 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.039 safety and Cover two is giving inside leverage, which means 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.320 that his buttons to the sideline and he wants the 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.719 route to go inside over to his help. And Miami 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.320 did a good job again with the route combination to 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.840 use a backside crossing route to clear out that other 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.479 side of the field safety to create space for this 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.880 dig route. But the ball just didn't come out. The 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.799 ball has got to come out on those particular looks. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.279 Doesn't come out here, we scramble, throw the football away. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.159 It's a wasted down. But that whole whole point of 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.320 that was these clean pockets, the finding way to scheme 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.200 them up is only going to create more and more 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.120 deep shots, as it did in the second half of 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.240 this game. I think throughout the course of the rest 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.720 of the season it bodes well for this Dolphins offense. 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.200 A couple more plays here. Albert Wilson caught a screen 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.120 pass early on, and just again to kind of give 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.440 a nod to the offensive line, both Robert Hunt and 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.720 Jesse Davis got out in space and made key blocks. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.320 Then it's just Albert Wilson making moves he has two 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.760 sharp cuts. Must have learned them from Robert Hunt in 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.560 this game. That freed him a possible tacklers. If you 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.120 can add that element to this offense, and maybe you 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.280 get Will Fuller back, maybe DeVante Parker comes back in 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.720 a couple of weeks. I'm getting ahead of myself, but 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.280 maybe in a couple of weeks, maybe we finally get 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.080 the full version of this offense we pictured back in 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.440 the summer. Speaking of the full version of the offense, 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.200 how about Isaiah Ford's game as we get into the 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.640 individuals here, what a game. He had his first catch 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.800 a fantastic whip route to create plenty of space on 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.200 second and nine, and it puts Miami in position for 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.560 a third and one, which they would convert. So great 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.760 job by will Isaiah Ford. Rather to sell an inside route, 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.120 jerk that thing back to the outside. And he also 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.560 did a great job to win a back shoulder type 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.280 of throw from Jacoby on the nineteen yard reception he 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.920 had before the end of that first half. Nice route 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.920 to snap it off right when Jacoby had put it 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.480 out there. I thought this is one of the best, 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.760 one of Jacoby's best anticipatory throws. He's had this entire season, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.280 maybe his entire career, not really his game, but on 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.040 this play, it was a fantastic throw from Jacoby. Then 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.480 the fifty two yard or was a total coverage bust. 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.560 You got Chuck Clark down in the box. He starts 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.320 to bell out and starts to run to play that 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.720 deep half of the field, but then he just rotates 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.640 out the other way and goes to the middle of 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.280 the field and Isaiah Fords turned free at the land 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.640 scrimmage with a cornerback, and you see the cornerback look 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.240 back like, where the hell are you? Like we we 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.040 focused on Chuck Clark And that's kind of kind of 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.680 communication issues popped up a couple of times in this 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.360 game for them, and it led to big place for 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.360 the Dolphins. So good job by Miami though to capitalize 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.240 on those and some nice running after the catch by 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.840 Isaiah Ford Miles Gaskim. I think his best run of 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.960 the game was the game clinching run in my opinion, 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.240 a second and nine run from the ten yard line 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.720 that he gains eight yards on where it was a 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.120 tough sledding all game long, but he got great blocks 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.000 across the board and just found this tiny crease between 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:44.040 Jackson and Liam for a nice important seven yard run 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.640 which Miami would later execute and convert, which put the 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.240 game to bed, especially after the touchdown. But getting that 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.320 first down was key. And just the running game right now, 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.160 the entire running back stable. They're just not seeing it 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:56.600 and hitting it right now. And I know that the 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.360 blocking hasn't always been great, but I think it's getting 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.360 a lot better, and the back's got to do more 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.880 take advantage of what's out there on the tape. From 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.360 my opinion, speaking of the offensive line, thought, Austin has 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.360 obviously been through a bunch this year. We all know 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.200 about that. A a tried intrude, you know, first round 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.280 pick from last year, who's getting his reps in and 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.360 and growing. I think, and I think you see every 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.160 single week that he is getting better. But one thing 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.480 I see on tape every week is a certain demeanor 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.480 that he plays with. He's kind of, let's just say, 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.719 I wrote down a bit of a pest, but that 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.880 doesn't do it justice. He's a bit of an a hole, 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.360 if you want to be honest about it, just in 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.040 the way he plays, great guy, nice guy otherwise, but 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.439 the way he plays kind of a card carry in 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.679 a hole, which you need to have on a football field. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.880 He finishes through the whistle, he finds work. You see 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.839 him kind of putting his hands on guys and they 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.880 get upset about throughout the course of the game. You 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:46.680 love to see a guy that can set the tone 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.520 like that. He'll run eight yards down the field when 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.559 the play is beyond him and give Miles or Savant 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.520 or whoever the back is an extra surge. He also, 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.439 like Robert Hunt tends to do every single week, finds 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.480 himself a slack of ribs in this game. What does 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.120 that mean? It's when someone else has engaged in pass protection, 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.240 you don't have work, so you come over and you 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:06.920 find that man and you put him on his back 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.040 with a big shot to the side. Great job by 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.120 Austin Jackson and Rob Hunt every single game. I love 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.400 the way they're coached to do that. I also think 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.520 he's playing more in control and space. He's been doing 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.880 these little skip step pull action where you kind of 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.880 get you pull to the other side of the formation, 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.800 but does a skip step to get himself clear of it. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.720 And when he comes around the end the edge and 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.000 those looks or when he climbs to the second level 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.800 as a run blocker. I think his processor is speeding up. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.000 He's he's getting the things quicker, and he's playing more 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.120 in control. And I think one thing that could really 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.079 help him is if he can start to kind of 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.880 keep his feet more active upon contact. They still go 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.320 dead a little bit when he gets that contact, but 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.120 I'm seeing a lot of progression here from Austin Jackson, 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.960 just from my own perspective on the tape. Speaking of 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.400 offensive line play rob Rob Hunt, Peter Steger said on 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.360 Good Morning Football on Thursday, the first time I watched 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.520 that show in three months because I work every morning 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.719 here at the facility, but having that morning off, he 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.839 said that people around the league are saying Rob Hunt's 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.760 playing at a Pro Bowl level. I think that might 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.800 be accurate. He's playing pretty well right now, and this 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.480 pad level is so good. Fires out of his stance, 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:11.920 and he's not just getting on blocks like there's so 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.760 many instances where because I've watched Christian Wilkins do this 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.120 all season long, or I've just watched the offensive line 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.240 kind of have its struggles where you see it stack up, 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.280 you see the run play coming in that direction and 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.520 then you just kind of expect the defensive lineman to 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.120 chuck him and shed him and get the tackle. It 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.960 doesn't happen with sixty eight. He's getting on those blocks, 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.560 he's staying on those blocks. And what's more, he's also 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.040 turning guys out of the gap because when you two 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.319 gap and again go watch Christian Wilkins. He's one of 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.199 the best in the NFL at this where you stack 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.160 it up and then you you lock out your arms 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.760 full extensions so that you the guy can't control the rep, 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:44.720 and then you can use your your eyes to peek 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.079 around either side, stack and peak, as they call it. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.480 You'll see him doing out here in practice every single day, 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.720 training camp or otherwise. And these defensive linemen are trying 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.200 that on Robert Hunt. But not only is he not 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.440 letting him do that, he's saying, I have to get 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.120 your butt to the right side of this gap so 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.160 my back can get through. And he's doing it. So 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.120 he's not just hitting blocks staying on them, he's turning 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.640 guys and moving them off the spot. And then also 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.560 when he hits these double teams, and this is with 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.320 Jesse Davis most of the time, obviously shoulder to shoulder, 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.360 hip to hip, and that's a two man thing, so 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:15.959 it's good to see it come together for both of 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.280 those guys. But he does it in a way with 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.760 that kind of right arm into Jesse's left arm where 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.440 he keeps his left arm free and can then get 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.520 another shot on an additional pursuing tackler. And he had 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.439 a couple of catching climbs in this game where he's 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.240 basically impacting two defenders. That's how you get things going 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.520 in the running game. And I kept on watching him 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.839 in the run game, you know, expecting him to lose 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.920 one of these reps, and he's just not doing it. 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.160 He stays on these blocks. I'm feeling really good about 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.800 this transition to guard for Robert Hunt. It appears to 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.679 really really be clicking for him. Speaking of the rest 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.720 of the offensive line here, I thought that Liam had 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.080 some good doubles and an excellent block in space on 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.280 the Albert Wilson end around in the fourth quarter. Talked 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.000 a little bit about some of the struggles across the 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.520 board in past protection leam mount tackle Jesse at right tackle, 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.840 some of the stuff across the interior. Austin writer had 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.480 a couple of situations, and I talked about Rob Hunter. 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.439 He too got beat a couple of times in pass pro, 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.120 so just in pass pro. Not their their greatest night, 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.280 But I think this offensive line is coming a long 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.920 long way in terms of their run blocking, and we'll see. 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:18.280 I think it's hard to take advantage of that here 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.880 in the second half of the season. Talked about one 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.880 of Jacoby's best throwers. I wanna talk about two more. 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.040 I thought he had three really nice throws in this game. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.360 First and tent from the plus forty six. Immediate pressure 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.240 off the left side of the formation, and he gets 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.559 away immediately and throws on the move, right on time, 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.880 right on target to Jalen Waddle. And Waddle, by the way, 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.079 did something on this route that he did all night 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.920 with regularity, and it garnered a tweet from Marlin Humphrey, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.800 which I put in the top news story today up 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.280 on Miami Dolphins dot com. But Waddle gets a free 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.360 release working off a stack, which means there's a guy 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:50.800 right in front of him. This time, I think it 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.559 was Durham Smith. Maybe Mike Kisiki didn't write the note down, 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.040 but it was a big tight end. He pushes inside 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.960 to force Humphrey to do a head whip where you 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.760 know Humphreys basically committed to the inside route and then 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.320 Jalen cuts that thing back to the outside with a 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.440 nasty just a nasty nasty cut back to the outside, 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.840 and then Humphrey has to turn his back to the formation. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.240 You see that forty four from the end zone angle 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:13.880 and he tries to close down the out route, but 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.559 it's too much space there for Waddle, who comes out 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.960 of this outcut from a nasty split. Nasty split is 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.640 in tight to the formation and it gave Jacoby tons 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.960 of space to work with, which he needed because of 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.560 that pressure. But it was a good throw and a 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.880 phenomenal route. And we're gonna talk about while here and 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.040 just one secon because the entire segment did a kid 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.480 to Waddle's route running in this podcast. I thought it 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.760 was his best game as a professional. Another one of 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.600 Jacoby's best throws the shot to Shaheen before the half. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.440 He's good on those low ball into congested area type 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.160 of throws where he can drive it to the ground 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.440 and take his man to the ground. Think about mac 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.320 hollins throw the touchdown last week and against Houston, did 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.080 it again here to Shaheen to put that ball away 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:54.600 from danger and a big reception there for the Miami Dolphins. Alright, Waddle, 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:59.840 Oh man o, buddy, this was a fun, fun tape 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.640 for Jalen Waddle. First, before we talked about the route running, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.440 go look at his blocking downfield on the Albert Wilson 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.120 reverse in the early minutes of the fourth quarter. When 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:10.880 we talk about the route running, and pair that with 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.040 what he does in the blocking game, big fan, big, 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.720 big fans so early on the motion and you know, 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.400 having Albert Wilson part of this game plan, primarily on 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.280 those fly sweep actions the end around the double pass 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.680 attempt they ran. I think this was a great idea 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.680 all night long because it kind of freed up Waddle 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.880 to do some more downfield route running. And when you 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:31.400 watch this game on tape, you'll see why that's a 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.840 dangerous thing for the opposing defense. On the thirty five 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:35.880 yard reception, I think you saw what he could do 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.400 with it. There are chances opening up for him in 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.200 this offense, and I think is the offensive line continues 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.120 to gel, it's going to get incrementally better. And if 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.120 they can keep at it, keep quarterback one healthy and upright. 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:48.920 Then I think you're gonna start to really see some 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.640 of these things pop. Some more instances of that third 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.560 and nine on the sack. On the opening drive, he's 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.400 the three to the or the three to the field, 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.000 goes in motion to a nasty split again and tied 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.400 to the formation, and Jalen pushes five yards beyond the 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.840 sticks and whips that thing back to the outside, right 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.920 behind the flat defender. And the pass rush just barely 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.280 got home and the balls out, balls not out. He 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:12.960 takes a sack. The ball could have come out on 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.160 time and made a completion, but it doesn't get out, 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.280 and the Ravens overload this pressure and use dummy pressure 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.040 to rotate and fill, and Robert Hunt pulls over to 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.800 the other side of the formation to help out, but 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.200 pushes the stunting nose right into the two Austin's writer 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.640 and Jackson and creates a lane for the Ravens to 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.320 come down downhill on a pass rush. But on that route. 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.240 If you watch the All twenty two, go watch waddle. 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.520 He creates tons of space and turns his man around. 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.480 There's a throwaway to start the second drive. The dig 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.040 route is there. Linebacker steps up. We talked about it 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.560 already on the run action protection is good. Ball has 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.479 to come out. It does not. But away from that play, 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.680 Wattle runs from the one to the field, which is 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.560 the wide side of the formation, the furthest split out receiver. 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.160 He runs right at the middle of the field safety 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:56.960 who is in cover three, So he has the middle 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.440 half and you have two cornerbacks that have the outside 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.680 halfs in that particular look. And just again watch the 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:04.919 end zone angle on that play. If you have the 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.439 all twenty two. The acceleration from the time that he 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.760 takes his route from getting vertical to going sideways, he flies. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.720 It looks like he's on fast forward and everybody else 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.880 is in regular motion. It's phenomenal the speed this guy 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:22.000 plays with. Later to his first throw, Mike takes the 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.119 point on a stack which again Stacky receivers up to 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.840 create free releases, and Waddle does a good job of 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.520 staying inside his man so that Humphrey has to come 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:32.720 over the top of that pick and it creates plenty 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.080 of space for two of to Waddle. Just continue to 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.119 good picks, good route combinations, good route running. To his 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.600 first third down conversion, again he hits Marlon hun or 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.639 rather the first third down play not a conversion. They 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.440 went incomplete, but he gets Humphrey again and Humphrey gets 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.800 turned around and slips out of the break. He's putting 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.119
