From the 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:11.080 Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:18.400 is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's got my ad hands 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:26.880 in the playoffs. What is up Dolphins? And welcome to 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.200 the Draft Time Podcast. I am your host, Travis Wingfield. 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.720 And on today's show, things have not gone the way 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.160 we had hoped, or planned or thought they would here 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.639 for your Miami Dolphins. They fall to the Titans at 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.920 home thirty one to twelve, to fall to one and three. 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:44.720 We'll talk about the stats, We'll go over the game 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.520 script and do the five takeaways from this one. From 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.879 the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:56.760 This is the Draft Time Podcast. As you were very 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:01.960 abundantly aware of by now, the Dolphins statistically came up 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.040 short in this one and looked just rough the entire 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.200 night doing it. Let's go ahead and cover some of 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.200 the stats in the thirty one to twelve loss to 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.400 the Titans. As the Dolphins convert just thirteen first downs 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.080 compared to Tennessee's sixteen, they go two for twelve on 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.119 third down. That's one week after going one for twelve 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.160 on third down, so progress. The Titans were also just 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.120 two for twelve on third down. In fact, the Dolphins 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.280 defense has now held opposing offenses to just twenty three 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.520 percent conversions on third down. That is best in the 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.360 National Football League. Crazy right. The Dolphins did pick up 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.800 another fourth down in this game, third first in a while. 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.360 They went one for three, which improves their mark on 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.960 the year to two for fourteen on fourth down. The 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.720 Titans were one for one. Dolphins gained just one hundred 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.800 and eighty four yards. In fact, through the first three 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.480 and a half quarters had less than one hundred yards. 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.720 In this game, they got seventy eight through the air 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.600 one oh six on the ground on fifty four plays. 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.160 The Titans got one oh two through the air and 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.400 one forty two on the ground on sixty two of 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.680 their own plays. The Dolphins and Titans both had one turnover. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.520 The Dolphins took two sacks, They got Will Levis or 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.440 rather Mason Rudolph to the ground once, and the Dolphins 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:11.200 again with double digit penalties ten for ninety eight. Tough 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.320 to win football games when you play that undisciplined up 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.200 and down for multiple weeks in a row. Let's go 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.959 ahead and go through this game script, as ugly as 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.920 it was. It began with an Emmanual Ogba interception dropping 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.960 back into coverage, and I started off with the Dolphins 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.160 defensive line kicking the Titans offensive lines, but which I 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.160 thought would be the case all night long. Zachs either 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.640 had a couple of wins, a retrace and a double team. 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.600 That drive did get extended on a Jaln Phillips low 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.320 hit on the quarterback after he literally chucked the right 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.639 tackle both cleats off the ground and then fell into 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.480 the quarterback's lap, and that got him a fifteen yard penalty. 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.560 JP also exited the game with a knee injury and 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.079 did not return. He looked very frustrated. So on top 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.480 of a tough result, one of your top guys goes 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.840 down for what didn't look like a great injury. We 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.560 should know more as time goes along. Mike McDaniel did 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.880 not have an update for us after the game. That 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.720 was a seven play, twenty eight yard drive. They converted 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.119 a second and seventeen to DeAndre Hopkins who was all 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.440 alone in the hook zone, which is an issue that 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:12.920 I don't really know how to parse it out, because 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.960 you know, zone coverage is what zone coverage is, but 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.919 it seems like the one bugaboo I've kind of had 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.560 with this defense instead of on top of, you know, 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.919 the big running plays, because I think by and large 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.600 the run defense has been good. It's the big running 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.679 plays that have gotten them. Is these easy hook zone 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.240 throws that seem to be easily convertible, especially a second 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.920 and seventeen to DeAndre Hopkins to kick this game off. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.560 But then because of what this defense can do with 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.360 sim pressures and peeling different guys back into the hook zone, 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.120 Emmanuel Ogbah finds himself right in front of a Will 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.680 Levis pass and he catches it with his well, his 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.480 junk and then his knees and then his ankles and 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.520 eventually hangs onto the football and gets a takeaway. And 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.080 Miami comes out and goes screaming down the field on 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.360 their own right. Three plays, goes to Waddle to Tyreek 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.000 and then to eight Chan for a couple of first downs, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:01.880 and it looks like, all right, here we go. This 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.840 is the offense we thought we had all year long. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.520 And I was excited about the first rep from Huntley, 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.000 a little pivot off the pistol action the fake toss 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.360 to the right, He spins back and fires that fifteen 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.880 yard or so glanced route to waddle the pop pass 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.240 to Tyreek for a big game. Then a Chen has 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.880 a positive carry play The hits right, but then it 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.440 stalls because Huntley's backwards pass is dropped by Tyreek Hill. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.800 He doesn't chase half of the football the Titans do. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.400 They recover it. Luckily, the rest blow it dead because 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.200 it would have been a touchdown six the other way, 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.080 a fumble sixthy the way I should say if they 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:33.839 had let that play a play out. They don't, but 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.120 they get the football back and the Titans go three 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.000 and out. Three plays nine yards two to twenty two 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.280 off the play clock or the game clock, I should say. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.599 And Anthony Walker gets the start in this game and 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.919 made his presence fel I thought pretty routinely with some 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.200 big collisions. Now I'll watch the tape and get a 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.360 better feel for what the defense did on the hole 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.400 in this game. But I thought he had some good 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.560 b gap to big gap run defense, which is kind 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.320 of what I thought he was as a player coming here. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.360 Storm Duck gets off of a block and makes a 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.039 stop on a screen pass for a no gain, and 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.720 then Will Levis's scramble just does not get enough yards 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.640 after great effort from the entire Dolphins defense. But really 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.200 Kalais Campbell who runs him into this bubble off the 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:11.920 side of the line of scrimmage and he cannot find 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.240 the first down marker and also injured his shoulder on 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.440 that play, and Mason Rudolph eventually took over and Rudolph 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.560 threw for like eighty seven yards in the game. The 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.960 Dolphins go three and out after that three plays minus 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.520 four yards. We run one for short, then throw one 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.560 to Tyree to set up a third medium. Then we 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.240 turn the free edge rusher for a sack, which I 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.000 gotta get on this because I keep seeing, you know, 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.240 I love. I think Simon Clancy is a very bright person, 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.560 a very good football mind, but he keeps on harp 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.039 on Austin Jackson, and particularly on that play. Brother, that 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.800 was not Austin Jackson's fault on that play. That's all 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.200 I'm gonna have to tell you right there, because that 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.920 was a scan inside. The number one rule in pass 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.800 protection is pick up the interior rushes first and leave 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.160 the outside to be the one that comes free. If 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.200 you have to let one, which if you're five man 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.960 pass protection, which they were on that play because Jalen Wright, 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.039 unless he got the assignment wrong, he just ran a route, 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.400 did not show any interest in staying in pass protection. 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.560 And if you're five on six, the guy you let 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.320 come free is the widest person out. That's what happened. 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.480 Huntley did not throw the ball on one hitch timing, 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.520 took a sack. That's how it goes. It is not 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.359 Austin Jackson who took the entire responsibility, which is what 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.120 he's supposed to do. And he kept saying the RD 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:20.560 and key will not go up against running back and 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.200 pass protection. No, but you can turn the outside guy 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.480 free in any protection schemes. That's a pretty one to 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.640 one basic thing that we talk about there. So I 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.440 just pushed back on that sentiment hard. Either way, who 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.240 cares because they the results the same Titans get a 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.279 fifty three yard field goal on their next drive, a 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.280 riveting nine play twenty one yard drive where Rudolph came 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.480 in for Levis Oguba, had a stack and shed TfL 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.680 He sipped through the split flow kickout and got down 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.400 on the tackle for a loss. But then they convert 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.680 a third down, give up the hook zone beyond the six. 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.919 Once again, Klas Campbell blows through for a sheds of 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.120 block and makes a TfL and then a chunk play 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.360 on second long. We've just had this like the issues 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:01.880 I've had so far this year is there has not 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.560 been a lot of juice off the edge, and like 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.440 Jalen Phillips going down does not help that. Emmanuel Ogba 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.240 has had some up and down showings, but by and large, 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.560 like not gonna blow by guys as a one on 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.480 one pass rusher at this stage of his career, and 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.440 Chop Robinson had a rough start to his career. So 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.880 it's just been not great at a position where you 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.840 lost Shaq Barrett, Bradley Chubb should be coming back pretty soon, 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.320 I hope. And of course watching Andrew Van Ginkle star 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.240 in Minnesota makes it tough as well, but just a 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:27.880 tough group off the edge. I think you've kind of 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.320 struggled to get your true four man pass rush home 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.880 with that, and that's been the one real knock I've 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.880 had on the defense outside of the explosive plays in 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.240 the run game here and there. But that's the one 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.280 thing that I think consistently shows up on tape that 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.640 has not been good enough. And then Seeler makes a 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.680 big play to say a huge game. It's this massive 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.720 gap opens up, but he makes the play, and then 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.760 storm Duck beats a block and gets a tackle on 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.320 a third and six screenplay. They kick the field goal, 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.360 and despite all this mess offensively, it's only three notth 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.400 and Dolph or Titans until Miami goes back to turn 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.960 the ball over on downs four plays twenty three yards. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.120 You get a fifteen yard roughiing call and Ard and 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.000 Key on their side of the ball, and then the 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.920 first I love the sequence where it's first two plays 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.600 was an inside zone run then a gap run. Cool. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:10.960 I like that give me more variety in the running 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.800 game in terms of your scheme than its quarterback power. 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.880 And that sets up a fourth and one and then 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.880 they go jet sweep to Tyreek and it gets strung 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.320 out for a loss. I love the sequence until that 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.560 fourth down play. But then it's also like we ran 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.080 the full back dive the last seven times and that 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.880 didn't work. So it's just been this slog that seems 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.720 to be no matter what they do, what they go to, 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.640 it burns you time and time again, and turnovers on 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.120 downs and midfield. It's putting your defense at a disadvantage, 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.920 especially a defense does on the field all the time, 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.240 because the offense cannot do anything. It's impossible. And the 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.040 Dolphins were one for eleven at that point on fourth 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.320 downs and short fields continue to leave for points for 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.040 the opposition. Here it leads to a Titans fifty two 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.160 yard field goal after a nineteen yard drive that covers 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.280 seven plays, four straight runs, two first downs. That kind 0:08:58.280 --> 0:08:59.880 of gashing you there a little bit. Then they get 0:08:59.920 --> 0:09:01.760 hit for their own holding call that brings all the 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.160 way back and then we get a great play in 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.600 coverage from I think it was Jordan Brooks that made 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.360 the play to break up a pass on third down 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.600 to force the field goal. They go up six to nothing. 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.480 The Dolphins get their own field goal on a ten 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.480 play forty four yard drive and it starts with a 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.679 lugerious sneed taunting call. Then Jalen Wright gets an eight 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.360 yard run with a full head of steam off a 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.880 Julian Hill block off the right edge. Okay, here we 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.960 go again. That's the offense. We know we're cranking off 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:29.719 the edge in the running game. The ball goes into 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.040 plus territory, two plays, stall out for a third and 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.280 ten play, and then Huntley runs for eleven and a 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.520 first down. So we're cooking with gas at this point. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.760 Then the Titans bring pressure off the right edge, the 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.960 big gap opens up in that man coverage look, and 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.480 he can exploit that for a first down run. That's 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.080 where you get excited about his game. But beyond that, 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.320 that was pretty much it. He threw deep to Tyrek 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.240 and double coverage, and he required Cheeta to break the 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.319 pass up. Just keep us alive for a field goal opportunity. 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.720 And then third and six from the plus thirty yard line, 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.680 you throw a speed out short of the sticks to 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.400 waddle and then kick the field goal. Understand that that's 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.640 what happened. Titans lead six to three at that point. 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.240 Titans go four plays twenty four yards and punt the 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.640 ball back to the Dolphins defense after Jalen Phillips rejects 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.280 a pass back in the face of Will Levis, and 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.720 you're thinking, okay, down by three, two minutes to go 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.600 in the half, you might have a chance here to 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.679 go tie the game, maybe take a lead. Instead, it's 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.560 a three play, six yard drive and one where Tyreek 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.800 was opened for an eighty what was an eighty seven 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.520 yard touchdown, but Huntly threw it like three miles behind him. 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.720 He had stacked Lugarious sneed for like a two yard 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.320 separation down the field. You gotta hit those in the 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.920 game like this. Then a quarterback draw into the line 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.760 on third and ten and it goes on second ten. 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.120 Then an eight chance screen for eight yards, and you 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.080 punt the ball right back to the Titans, who go 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.480 four plays nineteen yards and they throw a shot right 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.000 in off of Storm Duck for fifteen yards from Nuke Hopkins, 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:55.080 and then a second down, some pressure on second down 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.880 from Seeler and JP forces a throwaway. And then third 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.240 and six you get a stop on the Dolphins defense 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.160 from a Jordan Brooks coverage play, and then kalay Is 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:07.520 Campbell blocks the punt, and then Duke Riley. I don't 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:08.880 know what the hell happened here. I don't know what 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.720 he's thinking. He tried to jump on the football in 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.240 the middle of the field after it was blocked, and 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.200 the Titans damn near got the ball back, but luckily 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.560 the Titans touched it first, and then the Dolphins go 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.800 right back to another three and out, and you're thinking, oh, well, 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.640 that was our second chance to get points, and now 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.600 we didn't do that. So let's give it back to 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.920 the Titans after a thirty yard Jake Bailey punt, which 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:29.800 seems like every time we need a big punt there 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.079 it goes off the side of the foot out of bounds. 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.680 And this was after we had snapped a ball through 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.800 Tyler Huntley's legs and we had I legal ships going on, 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.800 just an absolute tire fire out there. Titans get the 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.440 ball back and then throw one right over Cater Kohu 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.080 for twenty six yards, who continues to just kind of 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:46.800 react off the top of the route, which is on 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.400 a good way to play defensive back, and it's gonna 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.080 get you beat. It's gonna get a bunch of big yards. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.080 It happens here, and all of a sudden, after all 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.840 of this, it's nine to three Titans at halftime. Let's 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.880 go ahead and take our first break, comeback on the 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.320 other side and do the second half of the game. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:00.800 We'll do the five to ten was at the end, get 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.240 the hell out of here and call it a night 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.120 for you guys. Here. Drift time podcast your host Travis Wingfield, 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:11.360 brought to you by Auto Nation. Nine to three halftime score. 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.559 I'm sure there's not a lot of confidence being inspired 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.760 across Dolphins fandom or even maybe the locker room at 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.160 this point, even though the Dolphins get the football with 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.000 a chance to go take the ball down the field 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.760 and take a lead with a touchdown drive, but instead 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.640 it's a three play, one yard drive. We finally get 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:29.920 an in breaker that looks good and Waddle drops it, 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.880 and then third nine, nobody's open protection seems to get confused. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.520 Huntley gets hit as he throws and it's incomplete and 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.079 back to the same old Titans take their next possession 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.800 and go three and out three plays minus three yards. 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.640 What a fun football game, right, Kaloys Campbell splits a 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.320 double team and then shows this whole tackle for a 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.480 couple of plays to create a third and five situation. 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.160 And then I loved the sim pressure look where they 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.560 brought Jordan Brooks off the b gap and then Javon 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.720 Holland kind of like green dogged it right behind him 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.800 and came a little bit delayed on a blitz and 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.800 the guard went to pick up Holland and that freed 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:01.960 up Brooks who put a hit on the quarterback and 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:03.600 finished for the sack. And then you get a big 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.360 Brax and Buriers return and what do you do? You 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.800 go five plays, ten yards and you kick a fifty 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.720 six yard field goal. Defensive holding to kick off that 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.160 drive put you at the plus forty one yard line. 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.040 Then it was a four yard loss to eight Chan 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.680 a three yard run for Tyreek and then quarterback power 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:24.120 on third and eleven, Titans league nine to six. Then 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.240 the Titans go down the field for a touchdown and 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:30.000 that was pretty much the end of it. Where on 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.640 third down Kohu just seemed to lost track of where 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.959 he was and gets flagged for a DPI. Again, he 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.880 does it every time every coverge snap they throw to him, 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.960 he's facing the wrong way or pushing the guy and 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.760 it's just can't play that way. And then to make 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.520 matters worse, JP gets hurt, throws his helmet off in frustration. 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.480 Looks like he might miss some time after that one, 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.880 just based upon his reaction, and then Tony Pollard breaks one. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.559 They run right at Chop Robinson. After JP comes out 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.440 of the field, it comes off the field. You get 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.480 bad angles from the cornerback in safety. He's out of 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.280 the gate for forty one yards storm duck chase. I 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:01.960 thought Javon Holland kind of wpped it around the front 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:03.720 side as well, and then they go for six on 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.280 the wild cart on the wildcap and Zach Seeler closes 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:08.960 down the mesh point and this is you know, he 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.760 played so good this game, in the last game, and 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.520 really his entire career has been a great player. But 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.240 this play kind of confused me because they run the 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.080 mesh point and the motion's going away from from Sealer, 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.560 and the running back that could pull it would maybe 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.600 go up to the right, I can see that, but 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.600 he like the main gap that he could threaten was 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.280 the B gap up inside, and Sealer like closes down 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.520 the mesh point on the outside and it creates this 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.320 easy angle cut in for Paullard to just go off 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.440 of the inside shoulder and take it right into this 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.720 wide open B gap where the pursuit wasn't there because 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:38.840 I don't know, I don't know what they were, you 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.320 know what spirits were like at that point, he cuts 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.600 it up touchdown. Titans go up by ten, and that 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.920 was like way too much to overcome right three plays 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.720 minus seven yards. In the next drive, we fake a toss, 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.280 look for the n break, it's covered up, and then 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.840 Patrick Paul loses the edge and Sebastian Joseph Day obliterates 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.640 him for a sack loss of ten. That's the end 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.320 of the drive. Titans get it back and go six plays, 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.960 eleven yard yards and kick a field goal over fifty 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.920 one yards that makes it nineteen to six. It was 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.600 a couple of two to ten yard runs from Tony 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.720 Pollard that put them in position for that, but then 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.120 Jialen Ramsey had a TfL. They made a stop on 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.840 third and eleven to create that field goal. Still down 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.600 by two touchdowns, have a chance to get back in it, 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.200 but then it's four plays, eight yards, turnover on downs, 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.440 three plays, get nine, then fourth and one and Devon a. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.680 Chan has been great this year, right, but the decision 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.160 making and the gaps and the ability to hit it 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.080 up in between the tackles just hasn't been there in 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.480 the last couple of games. And I know OJ McDuffie's 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.000 getting pretty fired up about how guys are trying to 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.080 go wide and run things around the outside to pick 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.040 up an extra yard where if you put your nose 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:40.960 down and get an extra three or four yards that 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.640 could be more beneficial. I thought that showed up here. 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.880 In fact, there was a still shot of Huntley pointing 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.360 to the gap that he should have taken it. He 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.280 didn't go that way. Turnover on downs leads to another 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.480 twenty seven yard drive that leads to a field goal 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.640 for the Titans twenty two to six. The Dolphins get 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.960 it back and score a touchdown. Yeah, they even had 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.320 ilegal shifts like three times in the drive that they overcame, 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.400 so that was cool to I guess. And then they 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.080 scrambled in for a touchdown for Tyler Huntley to make 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.880 it twenty two to twelve. And then I went to 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.000 the radio booth and the final score was thirty one 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.760 to twelve. But I don't you know, there was the 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.400 safety that I didn't even see that I didn't see 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:19.440 that happen. There was the the free kick punt on 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.720 side kick thing that was not legally done, and the 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.520 Titans ended up paying that off of a touchdown of 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.280 their own. They become It becomes the first game they 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.400 scored thirty plus points in for the Titans since the 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.200 last time they played us in twenty twenty one, so 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:35.080 that's a fun little bookend on that. Let's go ahead 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:36.960 and take our last break. I'm not gonna play any soundbites. 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:38.920 I I don't care right now. Let's just keep rolling 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:40.840 and get the heck out of here. The five takeaways 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.000 next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield round to 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:49.880 you by AutoNation. Five takeaways here. I think generally a 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:51.960 blanket over the top of this just to say the 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.960 offense has been an absolute problem through the first four games. 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:56.240 I mean, it is what it is. They had seventy 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.640 seven yards on offense and three points in the first half, 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:03.000 and everything just feels like it's impossibly challenging to accomplish. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.439 They had just three yards in the third quarter. So 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.480 I guess rather than doing a blanket basis, I'll just 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.200 separate some of these. But I mean, lifeless on offense. 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.040 That's the top takeaway here. We did the stats already. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.399 On the season. We have forty five points in four games. 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.800 I mean, we scored seventy in a game last year 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.800 in Week two, we scored thirty six in Week one, 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.240 thirty one in Week five, forty two in Week six, 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:28.080 thirty one in Week eight forty five and week you 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.520 know thirty four, and Week twelve forty five and Week 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.480 thirteen thirty and Week fifty like those days are gone. 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:38.480 Brother through three corps. We had eighty four yards in 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.080 the game, which brought us to a one thousand and 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.359
