Here's got my advand's 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:19.400 in the playoffs? 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.720 What is up Dolphins? And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:35.120 I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.640 it's all twenty two review day from a big Dolphins victory. 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.000 Will break down all the good things that happened, all 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:41.800 the bad things. 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.320 We'll talk scheme, we'll talk quarterback, we'll talk about a 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.040 bad offensive line performance, and a whole heck of a 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.360 lot more. From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:51.400 Health Training Complex. 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:52.080 This is. 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:59.760 The Draft Time Podcast Maggie Daffy Week ten at the LA. 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.240 Let's go ahead and kick it off with some offensive 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:06.360 notes and first off, just some straight up phenomenal work 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:10.800 on the Malik Washington touchdown to sell the devon a 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.679 chan give on what looks exactly like a counter run 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.480 that we hit from time to time, where it's basically 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.560 g y power guard and tight end power where they 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.320 pull across the formation against the flow of action. That's 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.039 your power action and they sold that and you get 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.240 a cut off block off the edge from durham Smyth 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.400 and I think you know Liam Polls and that Garners 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.880 a little bit of attention on the play side force defender, 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.920 which is the furthest defender out wide, and that causes 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.600 this player, which is Byron Young, to clamp inside to 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.920 essentially give you your zone read when the quarterback keeps 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.200 the ball like he clamped and crashed the edge as 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.200 the outside defender. 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.400 So the quarterback keeps it and goes out wide and he. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.840 Had to get that with and he also eschues engaging 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.760 Aaron Brewer, which allows him to get to the edge 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.120 and hit the critical block to spring the leak for 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.440 that touchdown run. On top of all of that, I 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:11.240 love Love, Love Love Love two was ballfake because not 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.960 many quarterbacks do this, and you'll see on play action 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:15.920 like Aaron Rodgers is one that comes to mind. And 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.720 I'm not going to to dog Rogers because he's got 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.240 I think he's really good at ball fakes. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:20.600 But he will extend the. 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.600 Arm out like his right arm out without the football 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:25.800 and keep the ball in his left hand tucked in, 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:30.320 and that if you can you can't really disguise the 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.320 fact that you're not giving the ball off in those situations. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.480 Tua puts it out with the same hand and pulls 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.800 it back in and then flips it back to the outside, 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.919 and that sells the fake action. It's great design, it's 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.359 great execution, and congrats on a memory you'll have for 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.840 the rest of your life. In Lake Washington, first career touchdown. 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.280 Quick note, I think you learn a lot about a 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.880 team with how they celebrate their teammates. If you have 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.680 a chance, go watch the reaction after Malik's touchdown run 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.400 and after John whu Smith's big catch and run. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:58.480 In the fourth quarter. 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.360 Is the third or fourth quarter of the game, The 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.160 reactions afterwards to me say a lot about this team. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.280 It is nice to get a win in a game 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.800 where I think you were sort of taught something. And 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.680 what I think we were taught here is that good 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:16.160 power players on defense can cause disruption in terms of 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.120 our timing in the pocket. And while I thought the 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:23.240 recovery efforts from the guard position after a rough night 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.520 for both Lea Mikeenberg and Rob Jones was good after 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.839 their initial losses, and the quarterback did a good job 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.400 moving around those pressures to find to find vacancies in 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.800 the pocket on most of the plays. But man, the 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.360 rams just pin their ears back and play through our 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.240 chest a little bit too frequently for my money, and 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.560 you saw it on the running plays too. Oftentimes we 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.840 will like swim a guy and just leave him at 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.720 that first level and trusting that they will take themselves 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.320 out of the play with some indecision, because if you 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.440 don't get on your horse in one direction, you can 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.600 typically get left behind the play as it were, And 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.920 that did happen a few times, but others it did not. 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.960 And if those guys can one gap and get up feeld, 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.640 that can cause issues with your slow developing outside runs 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.360 because if those backs have to to bubble, or if 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.640 the lead blockers have to bubble and go towards their 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.600 own goal line, it slows the entire play down. And 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.160 those extra two steps of pursuit is the difference between 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.160 popping it, you know, out the gate and getting downhill 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:18.280 flow for a TfL. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.600 So I thought that caused issues. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.880 But if they do that the defense, that's going to 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.680 open some vacancies, right. So I'm glad it's on tape 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.520 now and I'm excited to see what McDaniel, Frank Smith 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.400 and the entire offensive staff can cook up to combat 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.400 those looks. And speaking of that man, we play this 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.360 style of offense all year, or we can, I should say, 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:42.760 the rest of the year. Teams are refusing to let 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.919 Waddle and Reak get their one on one opportunities. Like 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.440 it's sort of crazy the lengths they're going to to 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.120 keep the roof on the defense. Maybe it's not that 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:51.920 crazy because we saw this offense. 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:52.760 Break records last year. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.160 Like we ran this concept where Odell runs a spot 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.279 route and the spot is typically just like go over 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.120 the front of the football and check up and we'll 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:00.919 try to throw a five yard hookup whatever it is. 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.680 And Moleikue runs the rail, which is the it's like 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.720 a wheel, but there's no fake action. It just get 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.840 to the perimeter and get vertical. And then John new 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.640 Smith is the escort on the eight chan swing, so 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.720 you basically have like three receivers within a fifteen yard radius, 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.480 which I don't love that, but Waddle is the backside 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.600 X and they don't only play press trail technique underneath, 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.160 they also have a half field safety who sprints with 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.120 all of his Gumpshin and Gusto to get over the 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.200 top because they're so terrified of the deep ball. For 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:34.960 the Miami Dolphins, just keep polishing this stuff and it's 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.640 a great way to support your defense and win a 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.279 ton of games, especially this time of year when the 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.920 weather gets bad in the road games and you have 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.560 to go on the road in November and December and 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.200 play a little bit more complimentary football, and you can 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.240 help your defense out by playing this style of football, 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.280 and it might not be the flashy forty two to 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.280 fourteen wins we came to love last year. And take 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:58.960 it from me, nobody wants that more than I do. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.760 But this is a RepA heatable formula against better teams 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.440 down the stretch. And it's why, like I mentioned on 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.640 the postgame show, like I do want to get that 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.080 seven seed and go to Buffalo because I think we 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.520 have I think by that time we would have the 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.640 best version of ourselves in this Dolphins and Bills one 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.080 sided rivalry. Like I want to take that show on 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.200 the road and see what we got because we got 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.800 it last week and it looked pretty damn good. Just 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.400 one more stopway from winning that football game. So that's 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.040 why you really want to see this team continue to 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.040 stack wins and get hot and go on to run 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.920 here and and you can dictate that usage with well 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.040 your usage, because Tyreek didn't play more than eighty percent 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.680 of the snaps in any game this year through the 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.760 first five games the Patriots game coming off the bye week, 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.799 and it's the same for Wattle, by the way, it's 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.680 been ninety percent, eighty eight percent, ninety seven and then 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.279 eighty seven percent. And it's the same for Wattle, never 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.040 under eighty percent, which he was never over eighty percent 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.120 before the Colts game, and after that eighty six, eighty six, 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.920 eighty five, eighty eight. They're playing these guys a lot more. 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.560 And I asked which McDaniel about at the press conference today. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.160 I'll go ahead and just let you guys find that 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.920 audio on your own about the usage for Wreak and 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:10.440 Waddle to increase their playing time and maybe how you 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.360 you know, better economize their efforts that way. But I 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.240 just I think that that's a very portable type of 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.120 offensive attack this team can go to. And gosh, I 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.080 just wish we had one more damn win, dude, If 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.320 we had one more game to play with, I would 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.640 rubber stamp a guarantee into the playoffs right now. But 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.360 they're gonna have to They're gonna have to go out 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.360 and get games against tough teams on the road to 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.120 or Well, I guess Packers and Texans, But I digress. 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.800 Let's go bad and go ahead and make that for 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.560 a future podcast and continue today. I think that we 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.320 also learn just how valuable Alec Ingold is. It was 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.920 the first game of the McDaniel era without Alec and 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.120 they they averaged three yards per carry in the ground 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.640 and there was a lot of miss blocks from that position. 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.800 They did get to some of the same concepts you'd 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.640 run with him, but it was like Tanner Connor, which 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.040 he had one go block in his limited time, and 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.080 Durham Smith who continues to you know, overrun blocks and 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.280 miss Keith Key's tough in space and Julian Hill in space. 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.000 That's where his whiffs come from too. He's better when 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.840 he's just an in line. Why But they took turns 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.480 missing those positions and I think we were not at 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.360 our fullest at that position. That is the key position 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.239 for a core concept or a core package of our offense. 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:17.920 One issue we had up front and I talked about 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.520 all the games they run in the preview episode of 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.440 the podcast and how our communication had to be top 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.520 notch to deal with that. I don't think it was 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.200 in terms of picking up games, and the issues to 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.880 me were off the right side, which tracks with the 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.280 absence of Austin Jackson and you saw it with the 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:33.760 Rams too. 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:34.560 It is tough. 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.760 It is so tough, especially in this offense, to play 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.640 connected when you have lineup changes the week of the game. 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.120 And I would point to that as the reason the 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.120 Dolphins offense got so disjointed down the stretch. On top 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.120 of not having Reek or Waddle in any of those 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.760 games and not having depth a receiver, and you didn't 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.880 have your tie to end option and a Chan wasn't 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.240 up to speed in the passing game of the way 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.040 he is now. Like, there were several issues, but I 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.120 think that the constant change last year with all the 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.719 injuries to Connor and Rob Hunt and Austin had to 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.120 miss some time, and your left guard position was a 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:04.960 revolving door and Tiest that wasn't out of the line 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.920 like that's to me, that was the biggest issue for 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.240 the offense because that is a major factor in how 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.840 this thing runs and why they were so content or 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.080 not content. I shouldn't say that, but so gung ho 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.280 about going status quo on the offensive line this offseason 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.240 and focus on that chemistry and continuity. And additionally, again 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.920 credit to the Rams for this too, because they forced this. 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.520 But when they would run those games, the pick man 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.280 would just turn into a Tasmanian devil of sorts and 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.199 just relentlessly push the stack. And that's where two of 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.880 their sacks came from, including the strip sack on Tua. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.440 It almost had this sense of this rush is over, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.840 I'll just go ahead and get content here and you know, 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:42.880 will Patty cake away to the rest of the rep 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.720 and they would just keep working and they would break 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.600 through and beat us on those reps. I thought one 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.080 of our best play designs of the night was the 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.480 thirty three yard catch and run by John new Smith. 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.160 Just like on his pick you know that the linebacker 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.360 that was kind of a freaking pain in our backside, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:58.160 Christian rose Boom. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:09:59.720 He immediately pivots. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.160 To the front side to wall off the crossers like 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.440 he did a couple times in this game, but rather 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.600 than a crossing route, Julian Hill runs this vertical scene 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.560 that displaces him from the three position, which is of 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.520 course the furthest inside slot, and that removes the middle 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.439 of the field. And then John Whu is the two 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.240 and that gives him a free inside release against a 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.480 far less athletic linebacker and he wins that no issue. 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.800 And then as Jimmy's and Joe's at that point, as 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.680 John new rumbles for thirty more yards bowling over tacklers. 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.240 But you created that space with design to a maximize 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.720 it by being on time. And then John Hu made 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.080 a big play that fulfills this rhyme. After that play, 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.959 watch the way the players react to the day I'm done. 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:40.960 I'm done, but it tells you a lot because those 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:42.520 guys were fired up after the fact. 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.520 A negative I'm probably forever good. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.640 On the motion to the stagnant now screen where HN's 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.880 in sidecar shotgun and then motions out wide and to it, 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.760 catches a snap and stands up and throws it to him. 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.000 It never seems to work, and it seems like it's 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.560 all replacement for the second and long run, which is 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.760 the worst play in football. Don't run the ball on 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.160 second and ten it's not a good thing. Also, we 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.880 threw a spot route to Julian Hill where all five 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.080 eligibles ran spots and came back to the quarterback and 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.760 we're stagnant. Since when, Since when do we do that? 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.200 I hate that play. One more thought, if we had, 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.960 like I don't know, a Darnel Washington, a guy that 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.280 I was infatuated with a couple years ago in the draft, 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.280 maybe one of those Conference USA tight ends that Crabs 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.080 is up watching at two o'clock in the morning after 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.719 Dolphins losses just to make him feel something. Go back 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.240 to the five finger pors Crabs. 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.600 But I don't know. To me, that's one. 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.120 Area that I think the Dolphins can go after this 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.840 offseason that can really unlock another level of this offense 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:39.720 from the current makeup. 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.319 How about the quarterback position? 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.320 Well, first off, how about the freaking third down creativity, 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.080 play extension, attacking the line of scrimmage with a purpose man. 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.120 In the last few weeks, he's really shown us added 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.640 elements to his game. And we'll get to the stuff 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.040 that I think he needs to clean up. But that 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.880 first third down of the game, it's a four man 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.040 rush against you know, five and Perten and the offense 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.439 have two in for a chip release responsibility, so it's 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.520 a three man route concept and they're trying to give 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.560 him a clean pocket to take a shot on this play, 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.400 and we get an inter immediate loss with Rob Jones 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.280 and nothing is available. So then then there's a game 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.160 off the offense's right side that springs another leak. Because 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.200 I talked about in the pregame Liam and Lamb, it's 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.320 not as connected as Liam and Austin because they haven't 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.560 played together. And there's a leak there on a looper 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.960 two steps up out of the pressure, evades another tackler 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.120 and has his eyes downfield to see Wattle all alone. 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.079 After the Rams have a three deep coverage that busts 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.960 because two guys run with Reek and nobody runs with Wattle, 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.280 which if it's in rhythm might be a touchdown play, 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.480 but two of finds him for thirty six yards. An 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.600 explosive play creating off script. You'll love to see it. 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.480 And I think I have a new nuanced thing to 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.840 point out into his game, and it relates to his 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.640 ability to feel the rush. I think it's really improving. 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.079 We saw him wheel and deal and create, but that 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:01.240 first third down conversion to Raheem, not the third nineteen, 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.200 the third and six play, you'll see him working his progressions. 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.360 As he works the backside, he sees the rusher gaining 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.520 leverage on Kendall Lamb like he's about to beat him, 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:13.120 and then you quickly see everything mechanically align to the 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.480 next man in the progression like he sensed it, he 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.480 felt it, and the physical action got there. It was 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.920 all sped up to account for the ticking clock that 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.720 he was under with Kendall Lamb being beat on that play, 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.839 he finds his man moves the chains, and I think 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.840 that's part of the root issue on some of those turnovers. 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.920 And really that pick that you know, it's a pick 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.160 that he's thrown a lot in his career. Not a lot, 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.160 but more frequently than other picks he's thrown. Sometimes you'll 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.960 get it wrong where he's convicted and trust his vision 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.280 and they make the play. But like, trust me, this 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.199 is a good thing to have. It's a necessity of 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.640 play quarterback at this level. You know, be damned all 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.160 the negative plays that come with that. No matter what 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.400 kind of physical traits you have, you have to play 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.480 with that rhythm and being on schedule the way Tua 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.280 is now. I thought Tua made one of his best 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.920 plays of the night prior to a string of not 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.000 so good ones, and I lotted it on the recap show, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.560 so no need to really go in depth on that. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.480 But the flag route that waddle dropped and blamed the 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.480 line of site or whatever, such a good job of 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.320 opening that window with his body language. As the cloud 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.680 corner drives on the Tyreek curl route and doesn't sink 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.120 until the ball's already passed him because Tua held him 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.200 there with his action. Would have been a first down 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.560 in the red zone up by a touchdown, but instead 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.960 it's field goal time. Let's go through the stretch of 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.120 second quarter plays here after a quick break though first 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.080 break here on the All twenty two review of the 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.320 Rams game Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:36.480 to you by AutoNation. So it started really good for 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.400 the quarterback and then it got wonky for about three series. 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.240 Let's go ahead and go through that stretch of plays here, 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.200 starting with the interception. And I can't tell you exactly 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.000 what Tua sees, but that freaking linebacker Rose Boom pivots 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.000 to wall off the front side crosser, and I imagine 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.240 that's what Two was throwing it off of is his leverage. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.160 Because his back is turned to the route, he can't 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.160 get back in front of that. But once he gets 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:01.360 to his spot in the hook almost simultaneously with Tua's action, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.200 and there's a drag route underneath from Tyreek that I 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.920 think also brings his eyes back into the equation. That 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.360 turns it into a room service interception because once he 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.680 locates that ball coming back to him, he's in great 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.560 position to make that play, and it's if he doesn't 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.760 pivot back. It is literally Jalen Waddle on a sprint 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.080 against two safeties who have thirty yards between them. It's 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.120 a touchdown if we hit it, but it's not so. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.040 I would guess that Tua saw an explosive and tried 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.680 to beat rose Boom with anticipation, but he was ready 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.480 for it and made the play, and in fact, watching 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.600 it more, I think if Tua was able to stay 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.160 in the pocket, it could have helped keep rose Boom 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:36.680 focused on that front side. 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.880 But as he rolls, you see. 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.720 That rose Boom knows well if he's rolling left, the 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.960 throwback to the right is harder and a cardinal sin, 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.920 so I'm gonna go with him, and he just happens 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.800 to fall back into the hook zone right at the 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.080 same time as Tua, So it happens. Not a great play, 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.240 but it happens on the fumble. It's totally blanketed on 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.680 third and long and the pass pro is breaking down 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.120 all over the place, So I have no issue with 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:02.600 anything happening or anything that happens until the fumble. Just 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.600 have to have better ball security there, but no one 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.640 knows that more than Tua. But man, so much of 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.880 this position comes down to trust. Do you trust your 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.560 eligibles to be where they're supposed to be and can 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.400 you be poisoned the pocket provided you trust your protection 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.000 in front of you. On this play, he trusted the 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.600 pick stunt would not break through from that stagnant position, 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.200 and he should have because it should not. But some 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.480 losses are worse than others, and this loss by Rob 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.720 Jones as bad as it gets to a trust that 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.920 block will be will help, we'll hold up. It does not, 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.160 and he was wrong to trust it. And then he 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.080 goes to move and Verse pokes it out. So just 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.040 a bad play all around, but mostly I would go 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.120 on the offensive line for that one for Rob Jones, 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.800 a left guard. The sack on the next drive is similar. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.360 I just don't understand the idea of pulling back up 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.760 into the rush opposed to moving left where you had space. 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:48.440 And I would chalk that up as one of those 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.480 plays that he could have given up on much earlier. 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.080 Kind of the next evolution to his game for me. 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.080 But then the second half was very, very, very good. 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.360 So I mentioned ball fakes earlier. Watch the corner route, 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.000 the corner on Tyreek on the touchdown catch. He crashes 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.439 so hard on the fake run action, and you know 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.399 why it's possible. Another intricacy of to his game is 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.440 they can make him hand off like a right handed 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.320 quarterback or fake that because he has the footwork and 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.480 mechanical proficiency to pivot one hundred and eighty degrees back 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.320 into a threatening position and put the ball on the money. 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.240 He's one of the best in the world at doing that, 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.960 and it gives him six on this play. Rose Boom 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:26.720 almost gets him again in the fourth quarter, And this 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.480 one was a bit of a trend where we keep 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.560 on kept on missing and opening. But that's what defenses 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.159 get paid to do right. He tries to throw the 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.760 rail to Malik, but Waddle runs this deep curl and 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.800 he was all alone if we just could have found 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.360 him there. But then also watching the playback, the pressure 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:43.959 starts to come through and you can see to him 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:45.679 make the quick decision to get out of it, and 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:46.399 it protects him. 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.000 And we can't have it both ways. So if that 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:49.800 keeps you healthy, so be it. 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.080 Like if it cost us two plays in a game 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.040 and we gonna have our quarterback all year and win 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.360
