Speaker 1: Drive Time with Travis Winfield begins.
Speaker 2: Now let me check your pulse if I know. No
Speaker 2: one's too fired up today. But it is the Drive
Speaker 2: Time Podcast. Your host Travis leefold you guys here covering
Speaker 2: your team, your Miami Dolphins, each and every day. And
Speaker 2: on today's show, we'll assess the tape and find out
Speaker 2: what the hell went wrong and a forty eight twenty
Speaker 2: loss up in Buffalo, Examine the big plays, give you
Speaker 2: the top five tapes, general notes, key stats and snapcounts,
Speaker 2: and Mike McDaniel as well as alec ingold commentary from
Speaker 2: the Baptist Health studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 2: This is the Drive Time Podcast. Mayeff some news items
Speaker 2: for you guys. To kick this off to Ron Armstead,
Speaker 2: we'll miss the game this coming Sunday. Coach said it
Speaker 2: was more about a week's rather than day's type of
Speaker 2: prognosis and they'll find out more on Friday about where
Speaker 2: his long term prognosis will be. He will not play Sunday,
Speaker 2: but he will play again this season, per head coach
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel. Some good news, Jalen Phillips and Connor Williams
Speaker 2: were close to getting onto the field on Sunday. Hopefully
Speaker 2: both of those guys come back stronger than ever against
Speaker 2: the New York Giants on Sunday. Let's dive right into
Speaker 2: this tape here, because it wasn't a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Wasn't a fun Monday for your boy last Monday? Pretty fun.
Speaker 2: I was pretty much rolling off of adrenaline and coffee
Speaker 2: for that tape and really the first two tapes of
Speaker 2: the year also, And today we come down a little bit.
Speaker 2: There's always a come down after the coffee high, and
Speaker 2: that's this week apparently. On the podcast. Let's go ahead
Speaker 2: and talk about the big plays, and I was thinking
Speaker 2: about breaking down some of the negative big plays, but
Speaker 2: we'll do plenty of that in the rest of the podcast.
Speaker 2: Here the touchdowns I think are worth looking at here.
Speaker 2: Number one just wanted to note that both Rob Hunt
Speaker 2: and Austin Jackson had pancakes on a Chan's first touchdown run.
Speaker 2: We'll get into the design of that play later on
Speaker 2: in the podcast, but that's the execution portion of it.
Speaker 2: The right side of the line gets two pancakes and
Speaker 2: eight Chan makes the backside one technique miss at the
Speaker 2: point of attack. Who got off of Isaiah wins block
Speaker 2: a pretty frequent occurrence in this game as far as
Speaker 2: guys getting off blocks on the Dolphins offensive line, and
Speaker 2: eight Chan made him miss in the gap, so impressive
Speaker 2: work from him and the right side and leam Meikenberg
Speaker 2: had a pretty good block on that play as well.
Speaker 2: More on him in a moment. Second touchdown is more
Speaker 2: great action with Tyreek given the defense a lot to
Speaker 2: look at, lots of eye candy and pulling second level
Speaker 2: defenders out of their position. And then it's peer speed.
Speaker 2: It's a seal from Durham, an excellent down block from Tehran,
Speaker 2: and a pancake block from Jalen Waddle at the three
Speaker 2: yard line, who gets up beating his chest. More on
Speaker 2: him in a moment, and we're gonna get to Tula
Speaker 2: because I thought he played well after watching the broadcast.
Speaker 2: I'm even more impressed after watching the tape. But his
Speaker 2: touchdown pass man third and long in the red zone.
Speaker 2: Windows are never tighter than when you're down there. We
Speaker 2: go trips to the field against a four man diamond
Speaker 2: look in terms of the coverage, which is an advantage
Speaker 2: for the strength of the passing defense. Right three on four,
Speaker 2: Tyreek runs the hook up right at the sticks, and
Speaker 2: that's great design because typically teams are going to crash
Speaker 2: on that. In Buffalo crashed on him all day long,
Speaker 2: and there's some meat on the bone to react to.
Speaker 2: That we'll talk about in a moment as well. And
Speaker 2: then you have wattle to the flat, which more eyes
Speaker 2: go to ten and seventeen. Put those guys in positions
Speaker 2: to pull the defense away from an area, and then
Speaker 2: you have two defenders playing inside and inside leverage like
Speaker 2: inside of the entire formation. And Tua's hands separate when
Speaker 2: Barrios is still inside the numbers as he's running that
Speaker 2: corner route, he's just starting his break to the corner.
Speaker 2: The safety is up top and still getting depth. Which
Speaker 2: if he's getting depth and flips those hips and makes
Speaker 2: an Ed Reid play, maybe there's a play on the
Speaker 2: football to be had there. But the quick release of
Speaker 2: Tua and the football being right on his face mask, man,
Speaker 2: that was some high, high, high level quarterback play. Great
Speaker 2: route from Barrios, Waddle and Rik as well, really good
Speaker 2: front side pass protection from Kendall Lamb and Isaiah Win
Speaker 2: and then a recovery rep from Austin Jackson after he
Speaker 2: lost the rep initially. More on that in a moment.
Speaker 2: The last big play a Chan's big run. Excellent, excellent
Speaker 2: work from both Rob Hunt and Austin Jackson staying on
Speaker 2: blocks and riding the entire wave down the line on
Speaker 2: that outside Kerry. Really good efforts from Cedric Barrios outside
Speaker 2: in the perimeter getting blocks. Every time you have a
Speaker 2: big run, there's gonna be a receiver making a good
Speaker 2: block down the field. You get a good seal inside
Speaker 2: from Smith, and even Liam had a good block on
Speaker 2: this play too. More on all of that here shortly.
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and start though, as we do with
Speaker 2: the top five tapes, and for the fourth consecutive week,
Speaker 2: Tua makes the top five, and he's a top tape
Speaker 2: on this one, which I believe he was my top
Speaker 2: dog tape at least two of the four games. I
Speaker 2: forget where he was in the Patriots. I think it
Speaker 2: was like two or three in the Patriots game and
Speaker 2: like number two in the Denver game. But I digress,
Speaker 2: but he's my top tape here. I came away from
Speaker 2: this game very very impressed. I think it showcases yet
Speaker 2: another MythBuster, if you will, that Tua is just a
Speaker 2: first read quarterback right, take that away. He's got nothing
Speaker 2: else and a great Joe Marino posted this stat from
Speaker 2: one of the analytics websites. I forget. I apologize for
Speaker 2: not crediting. I'm usually better than that, but there's so
Speaker 2: many these days about how Tua in weeks one through
Speaker 2: three through to his first read eighty percent of the time,
Speaker 2: and in this game he threw to his first read
Speaker 2: just fifty seven percent of the time. So Buffalo had
Speaker 2: a great plan, had a great scheme to force the
Speaker 2: Dolphins off that first read, and I thought Tua really
Speaker 2: responded well and played pretty well. Yeah, you had some misses. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the guy on Twitter told me he had a pick.
Speaker 2: He threw a drop pick, which I guess. You can't
Speaker 2: have a good game if you put the ball in
Speaker 2: harm's way twice, which Tua did in this game. But
Speaker 2: he consistently found the backside. And that's not even just
Speaker 2: a second read like you often have a one to
Speaker 2: two read, like read low to high, inside to out,
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be in terms of your progression
Speaker 2: to one side of the field, and then you come
Speaker 2: back to the backside, and that's when you get to
Speaker 2: three four or two three two three, four, Sometimes you
Speaker 2: get to five. It's just depends on the different concepts
Speaker 2: you have. But the near interception off Rahiem Mostert's hands,
Speaker 2: he gets pressure right down the middle and has to
Speaker 2: fall back. Why throwing this sort of blind shot and
Speaker 2: he's got the right man. The accuracy was just off
Speaker 2: a tad and as it was on I think, I
Speaker 2: think four plays game, I'll give him, you know, off
Speaker 2: target throws, but think about that wanting accuracy on four
Speaker 2: out of thirty five throws. That's about what you get
Speaker 2: from the best quarterbacks each week in the NFL. I
Speaker 2: want to go ahead and play this sound for you
Speaker 2: real quick here from coach McDaniel on Tua because I
Speaker 2: asked him about that stat getting to your second read,
Speaker 2: and coach does a good job here of going over
Speaker 2: some of the highs and lows for Tua, but also
Speaker 2: why he loves coaching this quarterback because he can take
Speaker 2: those errors as he's done in the past. That Ravens
Speaker 2: game last year, forcing the ball down the field on
Speaker 2: that Marcus Williams pick and then coming back after that
Speaker 2: and throwing five more touchdown passes in the game after that.
Speaker 2: When Tua puts bad stuff on tape, you typically don't
Speaker 2: see it again more than once or twice. And coach
Speaker 2: will answer this question regarding, first off, the Bill's ability
Speaker 2: to take away the first read, and he really commends
Speaker 2: the way the Bills game plan came out and did
Speaker 2: a good job of trying to take away those options.
Speaker 2: For two in the passing game, here's.
Speaker 1: Coach, you know, those games you can't necessarily control that.
Speaker 1: There was sometimes, like in this league, offensively or defensively,
Speaker 1: if you are determined to take something away, they'll they'll
Speaker 1: find a way. And there was multiple times that he
Speaker 1: did progress a couple of plays that were in in
Speaker 1: clinic fashion. So those particularly when you get into a
Speaker 1: one sided game where you're behind a little bit and
Speaker 1: you're passing and getting a little off schedule, you know,
Speaker 1: and first and second down that can happen you have
Speaker 1: you end up throwing the ball more and that you
Speaker 1: become a little bit more predictable in that way. So
Speaker 1: we we needed him to be able to progress. I
Speaker 1: think he did real well on some plays. There's a
Speaker 1: couple that I know, one interception and then the tipped
Speaker 1: ball that Jalen caught are were progression plays that he
Speaker 1: would like to be better on for various reasons. So
Speaker 1: it was I was really happy with how he approached
Speaker 1: the game, how he executed a vast majority of things
Speaker 1: that he did. And then, you know, the great thing
Speaker 1: about two is that you can for me in our relationship,
Speaker 1: I can just literally coach him on the things that
Speaker 1: he's not good at and don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: it making him worse because he's going to use it
Speaker 1: all to make sure he improves moving forward.
Speaker 2: So going back to that first drive on the very
Speaker 2: next play, I'm just so impressed by this. You get
Speaker 2: a levels or a layer's concept, and that's basically where
Speaker 2: you play action boot and you flood the one side
Speaker 2: of the field with all your routes, and if they're
Speaker 2: in zone, it can typically leave someone guarding grass on
Speaker 2: the backside and then you just overwhelm their zone coverage
Speaker 2: by going a short option, intermedia option, and deep option
Speaker 2: up the top and with boot action on this play,
Speaker 2: you know we've seen him hit that layer the first
Speaker 2: one like a million times. A little flat route like
Speaker 2: whether it's Durham Spice leaking out the running back or
Speaker 2: sometimes it's a slot receiver, but just finding a way
Speaker 2: to get the ball to that area, but they cover
Speaker 2: it on this and Tua, with a free runner coming
Speaker 2: downhill right towards him, pumps and continues to get space
Speaker 2: and with that wide and Tyreek's coming over to that
Speaker 2: second level from the backside and he just throws his
Speaker 2: absolute dart on the move while taking a hit and
Speaker 2: the ball is twenty two yards down the field on
Speaker 2: a dot man. That's high level stuff in terms of
Speaker 2: the way he processes. And then you have these physical
Speaker 2: traits really shining through this season as well. Then the
Speaker 2: first play on the very next drive, the second touchdown
Speaker 2: drive of the game, and the second drive of the game,
Speaker 2: I mean, you get another look where it's two wide,
Speaker 2: two backs and then Durham smiths and they're basically pass
Speaker 2: protecting and the backs run and actually coach is going
Speaker 2: to break this down on the breakdown coming up this week.
Speaker 2: I was very happy. This is the play that I
Speaker 2: was most excited about and the play he was most
Speaker 2: excited about. And the Raheem is the first back and
Speaker 2: he runs a clear out route like a wheel up
Speaker 2: the sideline and then eight Chan comes across the formation
Speaker 2: and occupies the flat. So you have your high low
Speaker 2: stretch there and then on the back side of the formation,
Speaker 2: there's only one route and it's wattle on this dig
Speaker 2: which is about fifteen yards down the field, cut across
Speaker 2: the middle of the field and catch the pass that
Speaker 2: we've seen this offense, you know, excel with so many times.
Speaker 2: And then back to the strength of the passing formation
Speaker 2: where Raheem and eh Chan ran the clear out stuff.
Speaker 2: Tyreek runs down the seam one hundred miles an hour
Speaker 2: and then turns back around for the little hook curl
Speaker 2: action and Tua wants to go waddle to the wide
Speaker 2: side to the field. The backside of this the weak
Speaker 2: area of the field, not the strength the week, and
Speaker 2: it's taken away. The Matt Malonal gets depth and just
Speaker 2: completely wipes away that opportunity, which you know, Fred Warner,
Speaker 2: Matt Mlonal, These linebackers, those are the guys that we
Speaker 2: have to keep an eye on for this Dolphins offense
Speaker 2: going forward. Those are typically the players that make us
Speaker 2: have our least amount of success, like we saw in
Speaker 2: this game offensively. But it's taken away. So what does
Speaker 2: Tua do. He immediately gets off that read. You see
Speaker 2: the helmet snap back to the backside of the formation
Speaker 2: or I guess the strength of the formation, and this
Speaker 2: hand starts to set operate on a hook route twenty
Speaker 2: yards down the field while the defender is underneath Tyreek,
Speaker 2: he's underneath them and he's throwing this anticipation, understanding of
Speaker 2: the offense and where the ball when the ball gets there.
Speaker 2: What the picture looks like then compared to what it
Speaker 2: looks like now, The timing, the accuracy, second read man.
Speaker 2: That's great stuff and a great sign for your quarterback
Speaker 2: going forward. Now, Buffalo did a lot of interesting stuff here,
Speaker 2: and I think if teams want to copy that, you're
Speaker 2: gonna have to commit to the run more. I know
Speaker 2: the scoreboard kind of took you out of that in
Speaker 2: this game, which I don't think will happen too frequently.
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't have any This is the most
Speaker 2: explosive office think you're going to see the rest of
Speaker 2: the season. Kansas City doesn't have the weapons on the
Speaker 2: perimeter anymore. Like it's pretty clear at this point of
Speaker 2: the year. The Eagles I think, are that level as well.
Speaker 2: But beyond that, maybe Dallas in week sixteen. It's a
Speaker 2: ways away. But Buffalo put together a blueprint with this
Speaker 2: particular personnel grouping that you can you can take it away.
Speaker 2: It's a kin to the Niners last year. That those
Speaker 2: linebackers get in that twelve, fifteen, eighteen yards worth of
Speaker 2: a drop. That's something you need to come up with
Speaker 2: a solution for because team are gonna try it and
Speaker 2: you have to have the athletic linebackers to make it happen.
Speaker 2: But this is where I think I would knock to
Speaker 2: his performance a little bit, though I'm not entirely sure
Speaker 2: I can pinpoint how the progression on some of these go.
Speaker 2: But there are chances to find some guy's open backside
Speaker 2: when he's pulling the trigger front side. And the reason
Speaker 2: I say that with hesitation, like if he deems the
Speaker 2: one to be open, you're never gonna see a quarterback
Speaker 2: see his one or two open and not throw it
Speaker 2: Like that's not how you're taught to put the position
Speaker 2: at all. And so you can't really fault him for
Speaker 2: not getting to an open three or four when he's
Speaker 2: deemed one or two to be open. If there are
Speaker 2: errors there, sure, like if it's not you know, if
Speaker 2: the ball shouldn't have gone to the one. But typically
Speaker 2: he finds these guys when they're open. I just think
Speaker 2: you have to have a counter to that, because you
Speaker 2: know the way the Bills play this is they would
Speaker 2: like flow and take guys from the backside that they know.
Speaker 2: You know, if Tua can see the number one open,
Speaker 2: they'll pull guys off of that and get more bodies
Speaker 2: into the strength and take by his way from the weakness.
Speaker 2: And that's where you saw Waddle uncover. That's where you
Speaker 2: saw a couple of guys get open that were never
Speaker 2: part of the first side of the progression, and it
Speaker 2: looks like they're open on tape. But like I said,
Speaker 2: you can't really fault the quarterback for that. But like,
Speaker 2: for instance, one of them was the twenty five yard
Speaker 2: dot on the wheel to raheem between two defenders. Like
Speaker 2: he hit that ball perfectly, it was a fantastic throw,
Speaker 2: but you had alec ingold from a one alignment the
Speaker 2: furthest receiver out run this little slant inside like a
Speaker 2: little glance route, and Tua just ever thought about it.
Speaker 2: And there was a couple of instances where they had
Speaker 2: that open. And maybe now that it's on tape, you
Speaker 2: can have that option. Maybe it wasn't part of the
Speaker 2: game plan originally, but I think there's some chances to
Speaker 2: have some counter to what Buffalo did in this game.
Speaker 2: And I thought what Buffalo did its best to contain
Speaker 2: Tua was with combination coverages where guys would peel off
Speaker 2: from what looks like man and how they would trail
Speaker 2: and flow but then just peel back and camp in
Speaker 2: a zone. Like Tua was late on a throw to
Speaker 2: the sideline to Tyreek, I think on the second drive,
Speaker 2: the one where he didn't get his feet down where
Speaker 2: it looked like he did, but he was on the
Speaker 2: white on the chalk and you just see two a
Speaker 2: double clutch before the throw as Taron Johnson is wheeling
Speaker 2: off an underneath man to get that depth. That's really
Speaker 2: good defense. So sometimes you just tip your I know
Speaker 2: Dolphins fans don't like to do that, like if we lose,
Speaker 2: it's because we're terrible and we can never win a
Speaker 2: game again in the possible next fifty years. But sometimes
Speaker 2: they play good defense. And for Tua here, like I
Speaker 2: understand the trepidation of not throwing that football because you
Speaker 2: know Taron Johnson has a knack for taking that ball away.
Speaker 2: Or Micah hyde Er he didn't play in this game.
Speaker 2: But Jordan Poyer, there's guys that have made those plays
Speaker 2: in this Buffalo defense many many times, and I can
Speaker 2: understand why there would be hesitation there. But if you
Speaker 2: can start really mastering this thing and getting the feel
Speaker 2: of what that looks like, you can counter off of
Speaker 2: that and make plays I think against that. Like there
Speaker 2: was a really good trap coverage they ran where Barrios
Speaker 2: ran a speed out and the number one receiver to
Speaker 2: that same side ran a clear out, but it didn't
Speaker 2: clear the defensive back out. He just camped and put
Speaker 2: a big hit on Barrios. I know my guy, Oja
Speaker 2: McDuffie hates that because that happened to him in his
Speaker 2: career a few times where the quarterback throws what is
Speaker 2: basically a hospital ball. He can't have those. But like,
Speaker 2: they just disguised it well and they got him. Like,
Speaker 2: I can't fault the quarterback for just getting got a
Speaker 2: few times by a good defense. It happens. The Jets
Speaker 2: got Mahomes a billion times last night. It just happens sometimes. Man.
Speaker 2: But moving on here, how about that third down scrambled
Speaker 2: to move the sticks? Damn damn Daniel. You know day
Speaker 2: kwon Jones wins really quick inside with a one on
Speaker 2: one pass rush against Rob Hunt, and Rob hasn't had
Speaker 2: these in the regular season. They were once a game
Speaker 2: in the preseason, but he just got whipped and so
Speaker 2: that dtackle was coming right down the barrel for a
Speaker 2: shot on Tua and I have a screenshot on my phone.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna post it because I can't, but Tua
Speaker 2: is dead to rights, like he is swallowed up by
Speaker 2: this three hundred and twenty pound man and just whoop,
Speaker 2: just skates alongside and third and five goes and gets
Speaker 2: the sticks and runs for a first down. That was
Speaker 2: some Keanu Reeves what's his freaking name? And the replacements
Speaker 2: Shane Falco some Falcal stuff there.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: The pick was just out of character. I thought he
Speaker 2: had a shorter option open. But we're down fourteen with
Speaker 2: just twenty minutes to go in the game. And McDaniel
Speaker 2: has mentioned this a few times, how Tua, you know,
Speaker 2: and the team in general has pressed before, like last year,
Speaker 2: And my guess that's what happened here. A little bit anxious,
Speaker 2: bad decision, bad ball, turnover, whatever it happens. Three picks
Speaker 2: in four games if two A throws twelve picks this
Speaker 2: year with you know, the forty touch he's gonna throw,
Speaker 2: We're gonna be just fine. So he's first in passing
Speaker 2: yards he's first, and yards per pass, he's second in
Speaker 2: quarterback rating second, and passer rating, he's second EPA per play,
Speaker 2: he's first in a million other categories. That performance against
Speaker 2: that defense is winning football. He just didn't get enough
Speaker 2: help from his friends. He was one for two throwing
Speaker 2: the ball twenty plus yards down the field, and again
Speaker 2: Buffalo had like every play was different coverage, a different look.
Speaker 2: There were some three safety looks where they wheel out
Speaker 2: and the Tampa two backer would flip and it invert
Speaker 2: with the middle guy and they would run combo hybrid
Speaker 2: you know, zone versus man coverages, and they just man.
Speaker 2: They were in their bag in that game. So just
Speaker 2: two throws beyond twenty eight yards with the I as well,
Speaker 2: he was nine for eleven in the intermediate with one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty seven yards and a touchdown pass, So
Speaker 2: very good there under pressure. Not his usual sharp self.
Speaker 2: Two for eight thirty passing yards and win blitzed. He
Speaker 2: was five for eight with sixty one yards, So that's
Speaker 2: the good. That's the quarterback. We have four more tapes
Speaker 2: I liked get to get to. We'll do that next,
Speaker 2: but we'll come back also and talk about plenty of
Speaker 2: stuff that was not so good in this game, especially
Speaker 2: on defense. That's next draft on podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Autoundation. Before we get to top
Speaker 2: tapes two through five, I want to go ahead and
Speaker 2: play some audio for you all. Hear from the captain,
Speaker 2: alec Ingold. He had a phenomenal press conference on Monday
Speaker 2: where he just kind of gave us some perspective, and
Speaker 2: I feel like the fans need to hear someone's perspective
Speaker 2: from the players because one of the nice parts about
Speaker 2: being in the building compared to just being like a
Speaker 2: fan on the outside, was like, you know, I'm kind
Speaker 2: of riding the emotional roller coaster with you all back
Speaker 2: in those days. But like when you see how these
Speaker 2: guys kind of take certain things and react to them,
Speaker 2: like it's just like they're gonna be Okay, It's gonna
Speaker 2: be fine, guys. I promise it's gonna be fine. Here's
Speaker 2: alec Ingold on the kind of temperature of the room
Speaker 2: in terms of the locker room and just where the
Speaker 2: guys are at today.
Speaker 3: Guys took a lot of coaching today, which was needed,
Speaker 3: and man, it's a it's a good wake up call
Speaker 3: for the whole team to be accountable and to continue
Speaker 3: to improve so the standard doesn't change, the standard doesn't waiver,
Speaker 3: and it's kind of just showing up working to find
Speaker 3: ways to get better and improve. A cool thing I
Speaker 3: think we covered in our room was, you know, anytime
Speaker 3: you're in a result based business or industry, there's expectations,
Speaker 3: there's potential, and then there's what you put out on tape,
Speaker 3: and that gap that is bridged between the two changes
Speaker 3: every single week. And the challenge for a lot of
Speaker 3: guys in the room is balancing remembering who we are,
Speaker 3: what we've done in the past, what we just did,
Speaker 3: and continuing to find ways to close that gap towards
Speaker 3: the potential, the expectation, the standard in the room. And
Speaker 3: you know, honestly, that's not gonna that gap will never close.
Speaker 3: You never arrive towards that full expectation at full standard.
Speaker 3: But finding ways to continuously close that gap. The wins,
Speaker 3: the losses, the good and the bad, the applause, the criticism,
Speaker 3: being able to use all of that To continuously close
Speaker 3: that gap is the challenge for the guys in the
Speaker 3: room and to not lose any focus and just continue
Speaker 3: that improvement.
Speaker 2: So my second top tape from this game was devon
Speaker 2: a Chan and how can it not be? I don't
Speaker 2: think it's that complex with him here. He just fits
Speaker 2: that slashing running style that coach talked about so it
Speaker 2: last week or two weeks ago. Does a great job
Speaker 2: of pressing the defense and creating urgency where he can
Speaker 2: then change direction at the last moment and just doesn't
Speaker 2: get squared up all that often. And when he does that,
Speaker 2: he doesn't lose acceleration. And then I love how he
Speaker 2: doesn't mess around with hitting it up in the crease,
Speaker 2: like if he sees a spot where he has to
Speaker 2: bury his nose and take his three or four yards,
Speaker 2: he does it. He's not that scat back that just
Speaker 2: searches for home runs every single play. I think you
Speaker 2: saw all the skills he offers in that long run too.
Speaker 2: The fifty five yarder just so damn impressive. Man. He
Speaker 2: pressed the hole, found a little cutback lane and made
Speaker 2: it and then was off to the races and he
Speaker 2: runs away from guy that's my favorite part about this
Speaker 2: running back. He had seventy two more yards after contact
Speaker 2: in this game, good for an average of nine on
Speaker 2: the day. He's averaging six point nine three yards after
Speaker 2: initial contact and has eleven missed tackles forced on twenty
Speaker 2: seven carries this season. My third top tape Austin Jackson. Hey,
Speaker 2: how about Austin Jackson. Four games now, I think it's
Speaker 2: a pretty good sample size to say that things have
Speaker 2: clicked for this dude. He looks really good. Even on
Speaker 2: some reps where he loses initially, he still recovers and
Speaker 2: gets the job done, and then his work in space
Speaker 2: in the running game is as consistent as anything on
Speaker 2: this football team. He had a pivotal block on the
Speaker 2: long eight chan run. I'm getting a channed down by
Speaker 2: the way he was putting some tough spots, like the
Speaker 2: first play of the second half. We are double wise
Speaker 2: to his side, so there's a long runway because the
Speaker 2: edge wants to rush around both those tight ends wyse
Speaker 2: are attached tight ends to the formation, so you have
Speaker 2: Austin tight end tight end and then the edge is
Speaker 2: outside of those two guys, so it's a long runway.
Speaker 2: He has to work up and get speed to put
Speaker 2: his pass rush on Austin, And initially he gets around
Speaker 2: Austin and it kind of looks like one of those
Speaker 2: previous Austin reps. But then he recovers and busts his
Speaker 2: butt to get back into shape for a good angle,
Speaker 2: and he lays out to shove the edge around our quarterback.
Speaker 2: That's the kind of urgency and effort I need to
Speaker 2: protect this guy because if that guy's health, we're gonna
Speaker 2: win thirteen freaking games this year. One hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: seven pass block snaps this season, one sack, two hits,
Speaker 2: eight total pressures. That's a pbe a pass block efficiency
Speaker 2: of ninety seven. Go get him, Austin. Proud of that guy.
Speaker 2: Number four. Jalen Waddle. I know you're gonna say, Travis,
Speaker 2: he caught four for forty six, but don't watch the
Speaker 2: tape for stats. He was getting open on most of
Speaker 2: the immediate pressure plays, and he was just kind of
Speaker 2: a guy that got screwed because of the fact that
Speaker 2: we couldn't get the ball out in time and he was,
Speaker 2: you know, or he was getting open when the ball
Speaker 2: was already already out hot. Like I'm talking about when
Speaker 2: he's the three to the backside and they're getting the
Speaker 2: ball to the one or the two front side, and
Speaker 2: you can see him kind of voice some of his frustration.
Speaker 2: I think there's some elements of force in the ball
Speaker 2: of Tyreek. They probably come in to play there. More
Speaker 2: on that in a moment, But like on the fourth
Speaker 2: down sack, for instance, Waddle uncovers at the exact moment
Speaker 2: that the blade blitz gets in and gosh, he blocks
Speaker 2: his butt off two man. His pancake on the second
Speaker 2: eight Chan touchdown run was absolutely awesome. I just love
Speaker 2: the way he plays, and he got paid off later
Speaker 2: with some targets. I love the big catch he made
Speaker 2: on the opening drive of the third quarter. He runs
Speaker 2: a switch release with I think it was Tyreek, and
Speaker 2: he's working against outside leverage and still gets there to
Speaker 2: the outside for an accurate ball outside the numbers. I
Speaker 2: thought he was just open more than his target suggested.
Speaker 2: The two point conversion would have been a walk in
Speaker 2: for him if we didn't throw the immediate fade, which
Speaker 2: I mean it worked in week one, but fades to Tyreek.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know who am I The route
Speaker 2: he ran on a touchdown. That was awesome. That one
Speaker 2: got wiped away. About another case of him getting to
Speaker 2: the place the leverage of the defense wants to prevent
Speaker 2: him from getting to and Tua give him a great
Speaker 2: ball to go make that play. I think he easily
Speaker 2: could have had like seven for one hundred in this
Speaker 2: game if we just would have found him more. And
Speaker 2: I think there's some fortune the football, the Tyreek that
Speaker 2: we could get away from a little bit. Waddle needs
Speaker 2: to be involved more. That's all there is to it
Speaker 2: for me. I think the reaction to that, to the
Speaker 2: deep drops the teams are playing, is him on some
Speaker 2: mesh and some drags, some shorter stuff in underneath the linebackers,
Speaker 2: and then tu on the scrambles. Man Like, the more
Speaker 2: that he can win with his legs, the more he
Speaker 2: can maybe pull up that second level of the defense
Speaker 2: and force them to have something else that can ten
Speaker 2: with Just thinking about concepts and ideas to beat that
Speaker 2: deep drop that you know, sinking linebackers, things that teams
Speaker 2: have played the takeaway some of our bread and butter.
Speaker 2: My fifth favorite tape is Andrew Van Ginkle. I honestly
Speaker 2: didn't really have a fifth here. I thought about x
Speaker 2: or Van Ginkle. I wanted to give one guy on
Speaker 2: defense and shine even though maybe it's tough to find,
Speaker 2: but I mean Van Ginkle's I just told you I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna look for box score, and now I'm gonna
Speaker 2: tell you that I'm looking at box score. Two sacks,
Speaker 2: four pressures, three run stops. That's pretty damn productive. Even
Speaker 2: though I thought he lost his rush Land integrity a
Speaker 2: few times, he offset that with the way he anticipated
Speaker 2: and played the game in the backfield pretty thoroughly. So
Speaker 2: those are your top five tapes. Let's go ahead and
Speaker 2: pick this up here with the offensive notes. And you know,
Speaker 2: I thought there were some instances of let's just say,
Speaker 2: guys not playing one hundred miles an hour at all times.
Speaker 2: Routes that kind of got lack a days ago. On
Speaker 2: the back end. It's an issue, man. You can't play
Speaker 2: like that. You can play every snap one hundred miles
Speaker 2: an hour. I raved about it on the Sunday Pod.
Speaker 2: But man, the creativity down on the red zone is
Speaker 2: just awesome. Scheming up touchdowns. There is something that will
Speaker 2: translate week after week. You know, sometimes you need guys
Speaker 2: to go win a match up, but when you can
Speaker 2: generate walk in touchdowns with scheme. It's a massive, massive advantage.
Speaker 2: And the Dolphins had nine consecutive red zone touchdown trips
Speaker 2: trips that resulted in touchdowns at one point of this game,
Speaker 2: going back to last week. That's the most ever for
Speaker 2: the team. So like pump the brakes on like the
Speaker 2: sky is falling, you know. But Tyreek on that first
Speaker 2: orbit motion had four second level defenders moving in the
Speaker 2: opposite direction of where the eight chan run went. It
Speaker 2: creates advantageous angles for your linemen and makes the reads
Speaker 2: for the running back much more easy to make. And
Speaker 2: in the same situation on the second touchdown, Tyreek action
Speaker 2: on the fake after the jet sweep to e Chan
Speaker 2: you get serious flow and fall steps going that direction.
Speaker 2: We had some more great run action off play pass
Speaker 2: to create some clean pockets for Tua on the two
Speaker 2: touchdown drives. Early thought we got away from that a
Speaker 2: little bit, but good to see early on in the game.
Speaker 2: And man, every snap the Bills just showed something different,
Speaker 2: like a great plan varying your looks. We could probably
Speaker 2: take a note out of that playbook that and Tarren Johnson,
Speaker 2: like damn he is good. There were a couple of
Speaker 2: plays where he would vacate his backside coverage just take
Speaker 2: off to the passing strength, Like on the play where
Speaker 2: Wada looked open. We're backed up against our own goal,
Speaker 2: on our own goal line, and Tarren Johnson is there.
Speaker 2: He just anticipates it and goes early. It's the same
Speaker 2: thing we praise the snowman for all the time, just
Speaker 2: being really aware of the situation in the space around you.
Speaker 2: He's a great, great football player, and he made a
Speaker 2: bunch of great plays. To a pre snap on that
Speaker 2: play has four on two to that side, that's almost
Speaker 2: an automatic check list in your mind, like I'm not
Speaker 2: going there. They have is outman by two guys, and
Speaker 2: even still Johnson doesn't make the play, and it's probably
Speaker 2: a conversion to Raheem with a good ball. Just wasn't
Speaker 2: a good ball. But they constantly had looks like that
Speaker 2: where they would peel guys off the backside. I think
Speaker 2: the last note I have here is they just played
Speaker 2: a variety of coverages that we kind of played into
Speaker 2: the near white interception. They rolled three deep and had
Speaker 2: the cloud corners drive underneath the short stuff, but our
Speaker 2: routes wound up going into that deep hook right into
Speaker 2: their backers, so to a created and through to Cedric
Speaker 2: Wilson and by the way, come back to the freaking
Speaker 2: ball man, what are you waiting for? But White had
Speaker 2: eyes onto a jumped it and should have had a
Speaker 2: pick six right there, So onto one of the four
Speaker 2: or five plays I didn't like from him. Now, there
Speaker 2: were some good counters. We had a couple of those
Speaker 2: quick square INDs in quick game to get like three
Speaker 2: verticals kind of running off that middle level shell. And
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see what the staff comes up with
Speaker 2: in terms of a response to that, because I think
Speaker 2: there's some space underneath that to attack. And speaking of counters,
Speaker 2: you know the run action where the guard pulls and
Speaker 2: seals the edge. It looks like we adjusted to some
Speaker 2: of that interior pressure they were having all day long
Speaker 2: by having rob kind of pull up inside to pick
Speaker 2: up the you know, the linebackers and the d tackles
Speaker 2: that were kicking our butts all day. And just as
Speaker 2: we did that, the bills and an extra rusher off
Speaker 2: the edge to get a free run and a hit
Speaker 2: on two of the leads to an incomplete pass. They
Speaker 2: just dialed up good stuff at the right times all
Speaker 2: day long. The eligible Let's break these guys' game down
Speaker 2: real quick. Raheem continues to catch passes in a way
Speaker 2: that makes me think we should do it more, you know,
Speaker 2: with the ball as a route runner and of course
Speaker 2: contested catch. He's been pretty damn good all the way
Speaker 2: around that little hesitation step he had on a catch
Speaker 2: and run for a first down on the sideline. He's
Speaker 2: just so good at setting up tacklers to miss, like
Speaker 2: to make a move and make them. But the ball
Speaker 2: security man, you got to put that thing away and
Speaker 2: then he's a vet and Hill correct it and he
Speaker 2: did in that game, but I thought it made him
Speaker 2: think and slowed down a step after that fact, they
Speaker 2: did a good job justsrupting Tyreek and the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2: Some of his releases were way too elongated and wasn't
Speaker 2: conducive for the timing of the offense. It feels weird
Speaker 2: to say this, but Tyreek had a bad game. Let's
Speaker 2: actually go to coach here real quick and hear how
Speaker 2: the Bills took away Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill and
Speaker 2: just kind of how teams play the Dolphins in favor
Speaker 2: of trying to find ways to get ten and seventeen
Speaker 2: out of the game.
Speaker 1: You know, like most teams that everybody has a plan
Speaker 1: for that and generally it involves either a complete coverage
Speaker 1: commitment or a double and you know what happens is
Speaker 1: you know, that's one of the reasons why it they
Speaker 1: they are just as dependent upon the run game, is
Speaker 1: the quarterback, is the offensive line. You know, they're dependent
Speaker 1: on me to to you know, call a good game.
Speaker 1: And and when you get in situations where you're behind
Speaker 1: and guys can kind of predict pass, they can play
Speaker 1: softer coverage that takes takes the ball away from you,
Speaker 1: you know, outside the numbers with a corner end of
Speaker 1: safety and then inside the numbers with sinking backers and
Speaker 1: and such. So that's not not something that we hadn't seen.
Speaker 1: We just hadn't you know. It's tough when you get
Speaker 1: into those situations and you're behind several scores to to
Speaker 1: really dictate the terms the way that we like. And
Speaker 1: you know, I think they they the Bills did a
Speaker 1: great job adhering to their game plan and they didn't
Speaker 1: take anybody away with one or two individuals. It was
Speaker 1: a it was a team commitment. That you know, when
Speaker 1: when you keep you know, fifteen yard plays from being
Speaker 1: thirty yard plays and you stop twelve yard runs and
Speaker 1: make them three yard runs, it has a residual effect
Speaker 1: that they deserve all the credit the world for.
Speaker 2: And so I keep talking about this tape, right, all
Speaker 2: these things this tape has shown you. And I was
Speaker 2: curious to ask alec Ingold because I know he's gonna
Speaker 2: give me a great transparent answer. Like you guys didn't
Speaker 2: want to have this until like week twelve last year.
Speaker 2: Does it help, you know, never as good to lose
Speaker 2: a game, but does it help to have it on
Speaker 2: tape now week number four so you have some time
Speaker 2: to get some answers for it. Here's the Dolphins full back.
Speaker 3: No doubt. I think once again, I go back to
Speaker 3: the fact that if you're constantly closing that gap, you're
Speaker 3: able to find out with adversity, how you're able to
Speaker 3: use that to your advantage, How you're able to use
Speaker 3: these opportunities to learn to take tough lessons, to introduce
Speaker 3: guys to the rest of the team right, and show
Speaker 3: your true character and how you respond to those adverse moments.
Speaker 3: So I think it's a great opportunity to show up
Speaker 3: on a Week five game. There's gonna be a little
Speaker 3: saltiness around going around, but the way that guys are
Speaker 3: able to trust each other, come together, go to work
Speaker 3: after a loss, a tough loss and loss like that,
Speaker 3: and be able to move forward is really important for
Speaker 3: the rest of the season. It's a long season. You're
Speaker 3: three and one at the quarter, and you're able to
Speaker 3: use a tough loss like that and see how guys
Speaker 3: respond to it. So I think it's a great opportunity
Speaker 3: for everyone in the room to kind of get to
Speaker 3: know the guy next to him a little bit more
Speaker 3: and get in the foxhole a little bit.
Speaker 2: Back to the individuals. Brax and Barrios continues to show
Speaker 2: up in the right spots for me to make the
Speaker 2: first man miss, And look, I know it's tough when
Speaker 2: you don't have definitive evidence, but Barrios had the marker
Speaker 2: on that play man he did. And maybe I wasn't
Speaker 2: as upset at the time because our defense was just
Speaker 2: getting ran over to not getting stops in a two
Speaker 2: score game. But man, you get a first down there
Speaker 2: and plus territory down by two touchdowns, maybe you go
Speaker 2: score a touchdown and you're down by seven going into
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Who knows how the game changes, Probably not,
Speaker 2: but you never know. Offensive line in general, I just
Speaker 2: didn't think it was our best game. That's about it
Speaker 2: that way. There were some creases and some of those
Speaker 2: you know protection schemes where they work off the pistol
Speaker 2: sweep action and roll the line to give to an
Speaker 2: extra time to attack down the field. Like you know,
Speaker 2: attached block that gave up creases inside for rushers to
Speaker 2: get through. You haven't seen that so far for the
Speaker 2: first three games, getting inside on some double teams with
Speaker 2: games and slants from the Bills front, and they didn't
Speaker 2: stay attached to blocks long enough really all game long.
Speaker 2: They did really well when they got their matchups on
Speaker 2: our tight ends and pass pro against defensive ends and
Speaker 2: outside linebackers like those guys should beat Smyth and Julian Hill,
Speaker 2: and they did. I think the biggest thing with the
Speaker 2: Bills did was flow really well at the second level.
Speaker 2: It's these linebackers driven teams are our nemusis it seems like,
Speaker 2: and just found ways to knife inside for big plays
Speaker 2: like the second Raheem fumble. We had guys out wide,
Speaker 2: but they shot the B and C gaps. It's kind
Speaker 2: of like the mechanics of running backs and pass protection, right,
Speaker 2: Like you need to eliminate inside pressure first. The most
Speaker 2: important rusher is the most immediate threat to your quarterback.
Speaker 2: And in the running game, like they just made the
Speaker 2: outside blocking irrelevant because they were able to knife in
Speaker 2: and cut that thing down before it got stretched out wide.
Speaker 2: And then those creases that broke through and pass pro
Speaker 2: those are plays where we typically get much longer setups
Speaker 2: and have some shots with slow developing routes. But if
Speaker 2: the quarterback has to move off the spot, it messes
Speaker 2: with the timing of the play and becomes a broken play.
Speaker 2: And that's if he can shake free of the initial
Speaker 2: coverage or pressure. I should say, all right, so we've
Speaker 2: been waiting for this all podcasts. Right, let's talk about
Speaker 2: Liam Miikenberg. The technique is just it's all over the place.
Speaker 2: He's way too high. It gets him over extended to
Speaker 2: the block at the point he's so easily discarded by
Speaker 2: guys because there's no balance there. I know that on
Speaker 2: the third play of the game, a two yard run
Speaker 2: for moster, it didn't even impact the play, but you
Speaker 2: can see how it's an issue. And the very next
Speaker 2: snap is the wattle catch off of deflection, and once
Speaker 2: again you see the issue. He comes in high, his
Speaker 2: feet are way outside of his shoulders, which gives you
Speaker 2: no base to operate, no balance, no power, just not
Speaker 2: good man. There's then there's the processing factor. Like a
Speaker 2: four man rush, You've got a two eye technique to
Speaker 2: your left, which that means he's on the inside shoulder
Speaker 2: of the left guard, and a four eye technique to
Speaker 2: the right, which means inside shoulder of the right tackle.
Speaker 2: So nobody else inside of that. So where's the most
Speaker 2: immediate threat The two I right That means the only
Speaker 2: real threat is that two I crossing your face unless
Speaker 2: that four I loops all the way around. But you
Speaker 2: can pick that up because he's coming from two gaps over.
Speaker 2: And then you have help from Isaiah Win on your
Speaker 2: inside post because the next closest player to the left
Speaker 2: side is a wide nine technique rushing way outside to
Speaker 2: Ron Armstead's outside post. But Liam over sets inside and
Speaker 2: gives up the inside posts. There's no understanding of where
Speaker 2: the help is. The technique is bad and as far
Speaker 2: as the mental I mean, that's the position pointing out
Speaker 2: you know your Mike cues and your protection slides. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna discontinue this because that's from the first drive alone
Speaker 2: and just continued in the second drive, and I don't
Speaker 2: need to belabor this point on a snap by snap basis.
Speaker 2: You guys all saw it. But look look there for
Speaker 2: the root of the issues you had in this game. Offensively,
Speaker 2: and I do have one more, actually spatial awareness. Get
Speaker 2: a feel for what might happen. There's no anticipation whatsoever.
Speaker 2: Don't go chasing waterfalls. Man. I thought Rob Hunt has
Speaker 2: the worst game of the year. I thought Win did too.
Speaker 2: Kendall Lamb probably too, although I thought he was fine,
Speaker 2: but that one I can understand better. Coming off the
Speaker 2: bench cold is difficult. But I trust those guys to
Speaker 2: have bounce backs in the next game and then really
Speaker 2: good work by the Bills defense tackles. You know, Win
Speaker 2: and Hunt have been good in pass pro this year
Speaker 2: with they lost some one on ones where the Bills
Speaker 2: were able to engage and then swipe and cross face
Speaker 2: and get off those blocks and make plays. Some numbers
Speaker 2: for you here, t Stead no pressures on sixteen pass
Speaker 2: blocking snaps, Lamb had one pressure allowed, although it was
Speaker 2: a sack on thirty one snaps. Austin Jackson just one
Speaker 2: pressure on forty seven snaps. Hunt also won win two.
Speaker 2: Both those guys played forty seven sort of leam Mikenberger,
Speaker 2: but he gave up five pressures, two sacks, a hit,
Speaker 2: and two more hurries, and then Smyth had two pressures
Speaker 2: allowed with the quarterback hit three sacks on the offensive
Speaker 2: line PFF credits to with one of those sacks is
Speaker 2: his responsibility. Two hits and thirteen total pressures, And even
Speaker 2: as bad as I say it was, this is a
Speaker 2: defensive line who in the previous three games had twenty four, twelve,
Speaker 2: and twenty six pressures, so thirteen is not terrible. And
Speaker 2: that twelve game, the Raiders like never had the ball,
Speaker 2: so that's kind of weird as well. But perspective, I
Speaker 2: suppose they had a great plan. Tip your cap, move on,
Speaker 2: just like we're going to do here after we hear
Speaker 2: another word here from alec Ingold on what went wrong
Speaker 2: after those first two touchdown drives and then four straight
Speaker 2: three and outs. Here's Miami's fullback once again.
Speaker 3: I think it was self inflicted wounds. You know this
Speaker 3: offense is really talented. There's a lot of guys that
Speaker 3: can make a lot of plays, and when little details
Speaker 3: kind of start slipping and you don't have one guy
Speaker 3: pick it up and then it kind of snowballs. That's
Speaker 3: where you get a three and out like that, And
Speaker 3: that goes back to the fact of just execute and
Speaker 3: focusing on your assignment one eleventh of the team, approaching
Speaker 3: the ball and being able to master your assignment, master
Speaker 3: your role. And yeah, it's a great defense. They made adjustments.
Speaker 3: They're really assignments sound they play on a string. That's
Speaker 3: the challenge. That's what you love about going up there
Speaker 3: and playing the Bills. You know, you know you're going
Speaker 3: to be playing a great defense that plays together, and
Speaker 3: you got to be on your stuff. So that was
Speaker 3: really the adjustment there.
Speaker 2: Last break deep into the podcast, we'll come back on
Speaker 2: the other side and talk about the defense not gonna
Speaker 2: get a whole lot more fun there. Drift Time podcast,
Speaker 2: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 2: We've done the offense and I hope someone a lot
Speaker 2: smarter than me can solve this, But man, Josh Allen
Speaker 2: just had an answer at every damn turn didn't he
Speaker 2: There was a cater blitz where Holland came down and filled.
Speaker 2: And usually when a player caps the blitzing defender where
Speaker 2: he lines up right behind him, that's a note that
Speaker 2: he's gonna blitz. But Josh Allen didn't do that, and
Speaker 2: so he shifts this empty look, or I should say
Speaker 2: Javon Holland didn't do that. Alan shifts to an empty
Speaker 2: look and then points out Caterer like he's blitzing. How
Speaker 2: do you know that the defense holds its water and
Speaker 2: just kind of stays there because they didn't really adjust
Speaker 2: much at all in this game and just replaces the
Speaker 2: blitz with the football and the Knox runs through Javon
Speaker 2: Holland's tackle, which happened all day long. They hit a
Speaker 2: thirty yard run to Latavious Murray with thirteen personnel against
Speaker 2: too high. That's a numbers disadvantage and it produced was
Speaker 2: their left guard having a free climb up on David Long,
Speaker 2: and that's right where the run goes. Then we miss
Speaker 2: a tackle the third level and Long, hey, stop jumping
Speaker 2: the strong side part of the play. Stay weak and
Speaker 2: honor your gather. He's been doing that way too often.
Speaker 2: I think this is the biggest reason for these explosive plays.
Speaker 2: I think coach has mentioned this, but guys jumping out
Speaker 2: of structure to make a play and leaving a massive vulnerability.
Speaker 2: On that first touchdown, Javon's already checked off his backside
Speaker 2: help roll and starts flowing to the post where xaviing
Speaker 2: Howard's covering Stefont or I think Gabe Davis. But still
Speaker 2: Brandon Jones stays inside despite the fact that he has
Speaker 2: half field perimeter responsibility, just bails on it. And it's
Speaker 2: way too easy on a wheel route with a dummy
Speaker 2: screen or slip screen to the flat that pulls Justin
Speaker 2: Bethel up, but Jones has to stay home there he is.
Speaker 2: I'm not like some pro evaluator, but I know what
Speaker 2: most coverages look like. I'm not really sure what the
Speaker 2: coverages were most of the time in this game. It
Speaker 2: just didn't look structurally sound at all. On the front,
Speaker 2: we couldn't get off blocks. The pass rush has to
Speaker 2: be way better with one on one chances against this
Speaker 2: quarterback and this offense in particular. I thought Wilkins had
Speaker 2: a rough start but got some pass rush going later.
Speaker 2: But the truth is that he and Steeler. They made
Speaker 2: some plays, but we need more from those guys, especially
Speaker 2: the way the system op rates. Deshaun Han got a
Speaker 2: lot of snaps and just didn't didn't play very well
Speaker 2: to be quite fair about it, I guess, or nice
Speaker 2: about it. The linebackers, Jerome Baker was rough man. His
Speaker 2: processing was slow, and there just doesn't seem to be
Speaker 2: a lot of physical urgency there, like kind of jogging
Speaker 2: after the ball. Don't love seeing that. Long's not been
Speaker 2: a whole lot better himself man, Like I mentioned it,
Speaker 2: he continues to put himself in the wrong gap and
Speaker 2: abandons the lane that then opens up a bend back
Speaker 2: for the running back. Now, he did shoot the gap
Speaker 2: correctly a few times and make some big plays. Like
Speaker 2: I got all excited about this offseason, but I'm starting
Speaker 2: to see the consistency thing that Vic Fangie was talking about.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's great, other times it's like, can't win with
Speaker 2: it ball. Then Duke Riley checks in and gets you know,
Speaker 2: worked as the conflict defender. Bradley Chubb is doing these
Speaker 2: spot drops that he's like covering grass for sometimes going
Speaker 2: to the same portion of the field the Baker's hanging
Speaker 2: out in the hook zone. I don't get those, and
Speaker 2: the second dary again, I don't know what brand Jones
Speaker 2: doing in a long touchdown. And then the tackling was
Speaker 2: just terrible. Cater got lost in trail technique a few times.
Speaker 2: But you know, I'm not calling that long touchdown from
Speaker 2: digs on him because first off, we blized Allen and
Speaker 2: had enough time to triple hitch up in the pocket,
Speaker 2: like three point seventy five seconds on the clock of
Speaker 2: time to throw. It's way too long when you're not scrambling.
Speaker 2: And Deshaun Han just gets he's chilling on the ground,
Speaker 2: Rayquon Davis is running around having a good time. Jerome
Speaker 2: Baker's got velcro on his jersey, and then off the
Speaker 2: edge Ogba and Van Gink will get chipped. And they
Speaker 2: trusted their one on ones inside versus rayque Hand and Baker.
Speaker 2: And if we can't figure out a way to win
Speaker 2: those pass rush reps, teams are gonna do that all
Speaker 2: the time over and over again, like it's gonna be incumbent.
Speaker 2: I think upon ninety four and ninety two to just
Speaker 2: get going. My last note for the bad was Javon
Speaker 2: Hollins tackling was not good like Rap and finish Man
Speaker 2: and then X not many targets, but I thought he
Speaker 2: was glued to gave Davis much of the day some
Speaker 2: good reps, just staying with him, falling off in zone
Speaker 2: and picking guys up. I thought he was in great
Speaker 2: shape to the post and that first touchdown pass. Day through,
Speaker 2: he had twenty nine coverage snaps and just eight yards
Speaker 2: allowed on PFF. So more PFF here. Cater twenty nine
Speaker 2: coverage snaps, one hundred and one yards allowed, two touchdowns.
Speaker 2: That's his worst day as a pro. David Long twenty
Speaker 2: six coverage snaps, ninety yards not good. Chubb and gink
Speaker 2: both had four pressures each. Then Wilkins, Long, Baker, Ogball
Speaker 2: had one apiece and then run stops. Gink, Long and
Speaker 2: s Heeler all had three run stops. Bethel had two,
Speaker 2: and a handful of guys had one. Let's do this
Speaker 2: with McDaniel and we'll do snap counts after and be
Speaker 2: out of here. But here's Mike McDaniel on the level
Speaker 2: of concern he feels about his defense at this point
Speaker 2: of the season.
Speaker 1: My foremost concern is that what I know to be fact, regardless,
Speaker 1: you know, we are three and one, and two of
Speaker 1: those wins came with you know, bottom line, the defense
Speaker 1: was on the field to win the game, so to speak,
Speaker 1: both in the Chargers in New England. So like every season,
Speaker 1: first and foremost, I know it nothing matters during the
Speaker 1: course of the season if you're not progressing and getting better.
Speaker 1: And my concern would be if what's what happened to
Speaker 1: us on this previous game we didn't absolutely get better
Speaker 1: from because I know the journey is long and at
Speaker 1: the end of it, for the season to be worth anything,
Speaker 1: you have to be in big games and be at
Speaker 1: your best, and those things that happened on Sunday can't happen.
Speaker 1: So I have the utmost faith in the defensive coaching
Speaker 1: staff and our players, and you know, very candid and
Speaker 1: let them know that my expectation is that we aren't
Speaker 1: that team that continually does the same thing, makes the
Speaker 1: same mistakes. And then, you know, I really really want
Speaker 1: to see guys, you know, come together in their journey
Speaker 1: and understand that not one play player has to make
Speaker 1: a play on each play. I think there's some of
Speaker 1: that too, where guys are have a high standard they
Speaker 1: can feel during the game that the it's not living
Speaker 1: up to their standard. So all right, well I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go get I'm gonna go strip the ball from this
Speaker 1: ball carrier and then not get the ball carrier down
Speaker 1: and that leak for seven more yards. Things of that
Speaker 1: nature of guys just trying to make a play. You know,
Speaker 1: they they need to all the entire locker room. They
Speaker 1: need to really come together as a group. And we
Speaker 1: need to as a defense play better team defense. And
Speaker 1: there's that's a great thing about this game. There's nowhere
Speaker 1: to hide, so like it is what it is, and
Speaker 1: that doesn't bother me. You get beat forty eight to twenty,
Speaker 1: you should you should know coming into the building that
Speaker 1: things have to get corrected and that's not to our standard.
Speaker 1: So I think we're on that process. I think the
Speaker 1: meetings have been good today and we'll see what that
Speaker 1: brings forth on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: I just feel like the issues were three pronged. Bad schema,
Speaker 2: bad execution, and then Josh Allen being on an absolute heater,
Speaker 2: like he played like crap in the playoff game, right,
Speaker 2: not this one, and we paid for it. So there
Speaker 2: you go. Let's go ahead and do snapcounts real quick
Speaker 2: and get out of here. So we saw the entire
Speaker 2: offensive line besides Testead go the distance as well as Tua,
Speaker 2: so Kendall Lamb gets a good workload there. With how
Speaker 2: many forty three snaps eight Chan was the leading running
Speaker 2: back snap taker. He played sixty percent compared to most
Speaker 2: hearts forty three. Maybe you see more of that going forward.
Speaker 2: Waddle and Hill played both seventy five percent of the snaps.
Speaker 2: Barrios played fifty percent, and then Cedric Wilson thirty five,
Speaker 2: So he goes from inactive to thirty five percent. I
Speaker 2: think you missed what you had in Azukama and great
Speaker 2: craft from this game. Ingle just thirty one percent of
Speaker 2: the snaps. Kind of a game where you can't do
Speaker 2: too much twenty one personnel, and same thing with Julian
Speaker 2: Hill just fifteen percent of the workload, and then Chosen
Speaker 2: played twenty eight percent of the snaps. On defense, we
Speaker 2: had three guys go to distance, the two safe rather
Speaker 2: Brandon Jones, cater Coohouni Xavi and Howard Javon Holland played
Speaker 2: all but three snaps in the game. And then Long
Speaker 2: was your by far your most prominent linebacker. He played
Speaker 2: ninety three percent of the snaps compared to Baker's seventy six,
Speaker 2: So a little bit of a benching there for Baker
Speaker 2: at one point, which was filled in by thirty one
Speaker 2: percent workload from Duke Riley. Chubb and Gink played both
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the snaps, give or take. Sealer and
Speaker 2: Wilkins played seventy five percent, Bethel sixty seven percent, Rayqwan
Speaker 2: forty percent, Hand twenty eight percent, to Ogbas twenty eight
Speaker 2: percent as well. So it looks like they're trying to
Speaker 2: kind of figure things out right now, which I guess
Speaker 2: is the point at this time of season of the season,
Speaker 2: but it's got to get a lot better on that
Speaker 2: side of the football. I think they'll find it eventually.
Speaker 2: We have reinforcements coming here soon with hopefully Jaylen Phillips
Speaker 2: hopefully Jalen Ramsey, Nick Needham as well, so plenty of
Speaker 2: guys to look forward to. Getting back off the injury report. There,
Speaker 2: let's get out of here, guys, there's a long podcast.
