As you're sitting there, as I 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.280 see the backgrounds people listening can't see it. 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.520 Here in Santa Clara right. 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.440 Now as we do this, Yeah, Thursday night football, you know. Otherwise, 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:36.400 Notice the day after the meltdown in Chicago, we're gonna 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:37.760 have a lot on this. You know, we're gonna talk 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:39.400 about this. We're gonna have Brian Baldinger come in and 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:41.880 actually do some film breakdown to help us out with this. 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.960 But JP, you know, yesterday it was just an absolutely 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.120 you know, we've all had chaotic days in our journalistic careers, 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:55.320 but what went down in Chicago started with quarterback Justin 0:00:55.480 --> 0:01:00.000 Fields at a news conference saying this about his erratic place. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.480 You thus far, I felt like, you know, I wasn't 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.039 necessarily playing my game. I felt like I was kind 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:10.200 of robotic and you know, not just not not not 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.720 playing like myself. So you know, my goal this week 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.640 is just to you know, say effort and just go 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.400 out there and you know, play football. How I know 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:18.160 how to play football? 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:19.400 What do you say, thinking less? 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.800 What do you think was causing you to think so much? 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:23.120 Think much? 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.560 You know, coaching, I think. But you know, at the 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.840 end of the day, it makes it. You know, they're 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:32.600 doing their job when they're giving me, you know what 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.080 to look at when the game comes, it's you know, 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.360 it's it's it's time to play free at that point. 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.880 So you know, just thinking less and you know, playing more. 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:47.080 Oh boy, oh boy, the coaching, that's not working right. 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.480 But then the Bears went out to practice JP after 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.600 all of the chaos, after all of us were like, 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.320 what is justin Feel's doing. 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.280 You just rolled Luke gettius Oci under the bus and. 0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:00.640 Then did this rarity as he reconvened the me in 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.440 the locker room post practice. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:05.760 You guys' jobs are to get clicked. 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.079 So it's like when you take my quote out of context, 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.880 when you just say that, if you paint the picture 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.280 on the inside out, like y'all are trying to split 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.600 us up as a team at I'm not blaming anything 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.959 on the coaches. I'm never gonna blame anything on the coaches, 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:20.119 never gonna blame anything. 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:20.600 On my teammates. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.840 I will take every whatever happens in the game, I 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:24.600 would take all the blame. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.799 I don't care it's a drop pass, it should have 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:27.240 been a pass. 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.920 Put it on me. I need to play better. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:29.840 That's it. 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.079 Point blame if y'all that's what I should have said 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:32.919 in the first place. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.280 A whole lot to unpack here, JP, a whole lot. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.040 And just to add to a general manager, Ryan Poles 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.680 came out Thursday and said, there's not one person in 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.720 the building, including the coaches, that think Justin Fields is 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.720 finger pointing. But let's take this from the top. The 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.880 initial thing. Look, we've seen Justin Fields. He has been 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:53.320 a erratic. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:54.680 He is sometimes look. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.519 Fantastic, other times just looked completely lost. 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.240 And when you hear the comments. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:04.120 Too much information, too much going on, it could be 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:08.280 coaching take us, take us where your thoughts went, because 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.480 there is a lot to analyze and decompress here. 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.600 Yeah, I think Steve the biggest part that I got 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.000 after that initial comment, and everybody just really clips that 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.240 first part off, right. I think coaching send that tweet out. 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:26.000 Send that tweet right away, and then we'll let Twitter explode. 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.359 I think later in the press conference when he was 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.680 talking about I'm trying to process so much information and 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.560 I'm just trying to simplify it in my head. To me, 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.720 that actually tells me he is taking the coaching right 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.680 because he's listening to all of this and he's trying 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.400 to process all of it. So to me, some people said, well, 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.119 he doesn't like the coaching, he's not coachable. I don't 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.440 think that's the case, because it sounds like he feels 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.800 overloaded to where he is taking all of this information, 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.000 and I think that's the part that he thinks is 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.480 not allowing him to play extremely fast on Sunday, because 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.760 you're right, we've seen him play really really good football 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.160 at times, and we've seen times where you're just wondering. 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.440 We'll talk to Brian Baldinger later in the show about 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.880 some of those plays that make you scratch your head. 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:12.200 Steve. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.560 I think Ryan Poles on Thursday when he said, I 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.760 think Justin's trying to find that balance between last year 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.280 when we had a subpar lineup and a subpar roster 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:23.719 where he had to put this team on his back 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.320 at times and carry us. And now we may have 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.200 a better roster. We'd like him to play from the pocket, 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.960 do some more things like a quarterback. He's trying to 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.320 find that balance between the two. I think this is 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.000 all going on in Justin Field's head because he's trying 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.919 to grow in an aspect, but it's not actually clicking 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:39.640 early on. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.680 Yeah, I mean, look, clearly something was lost in translation. 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.560 Not even so much with his message to the media, 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.480 but what's going on with lu Getzy, his play caller, 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.640 And that's where the communication probably should have said. You know, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.080 he should have said, coach, you know, look, there's a 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:56.640 lot going on here. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.400 Right and Luke getsy. He also spoke on Thursday. 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.760 He didn't come out and go Sean Payton say, you 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.000 know what, we're gonna work on some things to simplify it, 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.880 because maybe we are overloading him. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.120 Maybe there are too many voices in his head. So 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.359 they still have some things to absolutely break through. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.200 But whenever a player comes out and talks about coaching. 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:21.160 The bigger picture of this right now is this Bears 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.520 offense better come out and play well because Luke Getzy 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:24.839 automatically is gonna. 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:27.560 Yeah, they got the Chiefs, right. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.479 They have the Chiefs this Sunday, So we have to 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.120 come out and ball out, right, we got we got 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:32.520 this guy to compare to Patrick Mahomes. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.080 On the other side, our offense has to come. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.120 Out and look good against the defense that's played really 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.000 well thus far. But again, when you come out and 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.039 you start cigning your coaches and you are the projected 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:47.080 franchise quarterback, that makes the coach say, well, honey, you 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:48.880 know this house we like here. We may we may 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.080 want to you know, we may be in a situation 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.280 where we might not be here next year, and then 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.479 whoever might come in might also have to say, like, well, 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.280 you know, we've got this quarterback, got one coach, let go. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.239 I've got to find a way to make it happen, 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.520 because if they're committed to him, they're not committed to 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.000 us JP all right. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.560 Also, on another note. 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.560 Since we're talking about quarterbacks, especially mobile quarterbacks learning a 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:16.120 new system, we have seen Lamar Jackson come under with 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.799 Todd Monkin the new offensive coordinator, and in two. 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.480 Games look really really good. 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.920 And also James by virtue of what happened Monday night, 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.960 the Ravens look like They're in a really good position 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:29.880 to jump out in the AFC North early on. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.160 This is steve the toughest division in the NFL. And 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.760 when you start too and zero and you look at 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.760 the rest of the teams in the division in what 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.560 they're dealing with. We saw the devastating injury to Nick 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.599 Chubb on an offense that is based around his running 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.159 game is arguably the best I'll do. I'll lose arguably 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.960 the best running back in all of football. That changes 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.640 things for Cleveland. We know Cincinnati is zero and two, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.480 oh by the way, oh and two in the division 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.080 and Joe Burrows still dealing with the calf injury to 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.000 When I talk to people in Cincinnati, they're not sure 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.520 how long that is going to. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:02.600 Continue to nag him. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.240 And this is still very early in Kenny Pickett's career 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.800 as a starting quarterback. So to jump out to a 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.040 zero and get that win against Cincinnati, And now that 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.240 you see this offense built the way it's built, we 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.240 know that it is built off of the run in 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.320 the past, and we know that it's been built off 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.280 of Mark Andrews. He has had a larger percentage of 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.360 any team in the NFL se even terms of a 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.840 tight end catching the largest percentage of their catches, their yards, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.400 their receiving touchdowns. Now he has receivers on the outside 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.320 to help him. When I had a chance to talk 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.760 to him, every receiver goes, oh, great tight end helps 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.280 me out on the outside. 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:37.960 Flip it. 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.080 Great receivers in the outside make life even easier for 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.680 a better tight end in the middle to maybe one 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.560 of the best tight ends in football play even better. 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.280 And the part that jumps out at me the most 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.680 is this, with this passing game with more weapons, will 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.520 we see a healthier Lamar Jackson down the stretch if 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.640 they can play in this style of offense throwing the 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.560 football as accurately as he had in Injuries at the 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.400 end of the season have been an issue for Lamar 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.880 Jackson and the Ravens. Could this style of play there 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.880 in now Steve help them to have a healthier Lamar 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.120 Jackson at the end of the year if they're rolling this. 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.440 Early, Yeah, I mean it really could. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.240 And look in the fact that they're rolling with a 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.960 lot two starting offensive linemen and they're starting running back JK. 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:21.440 Dobbins. That's got to be super encouraging. But JP just. 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.640 To bring it back because we're talking quarterbacks in this division. 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.520 To Shaun Watson, he has got more. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.520 Pressure than ever. I mean, their contract is what it 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.000 is about Nick Chubb. He really has to deliver. 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.400 Especially with a team like the Ravens figuring it out 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.080 pretty quickly and evolving and the Browns looking like they're 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.400 somewhat stuck in mud a little bit, especially with not 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:43.240 having Nick Chubb. 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:45.240 That's huge. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:46.920 And we know their defense is going to be better 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.480 than it was a season ago now that Jim Schwartz 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.640 is running that group. But you mentioned the injuries, and 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.080 you're right, Tyler Linderbaum their center, and Ronnie Staley, they're 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.719 going to be coming back. They didn't play a game 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.839 yet with Marlon Humphrey their number one on corner they 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.720 haven't played a game with yet, and their star safety, 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:07.080 and Marcus Williams has the peck injury. He is not 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.040 going to be done for the season. Might have to play. 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.040 You talk to me about it. Maybe with that harness 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:12.480 you know, in the middle of the field. But he's 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.480 head of the communication for this Ravens defense. And Juno 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.000 Stone comes in and plays in his place and plays great. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.839 They haven't been healthy but they've been rolling early too. 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.800 And oh and that might give them a great advantage 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.800 early on in the toughest division in all of football. 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.360 There's another division. How about the NFC East Steve that 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.680 has three teams sitting at two and oh, one of 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.760 them being the Dallas Cowboys. 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.880 Listen to this, Hey, we can't want a message. 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.120 It's Captain Chew and we don't. 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.920 Capture the Cowboys special team is the first start here? 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.840 What perfect row here by Dad Prescott? 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:54.360 Right Martins, Martin's got it. 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:57.640 Right. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.600 You do not run out of pools the champaign. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.120 Tony Pollard walked the dog and scoring his second touchdown 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:10.720 of the night. The Cowboys win to shut out. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:16.360 That was a beating, all right. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.120 That was the video of the Cowboys Week one. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.760 They come back week two against the Jets and they 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.200 stake further ownership in the state of New Jersey and 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:24.199 beat them thirty to ten. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:24.680 JP. 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:28.439 They're allowing this defense five points a game, all right, 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:29.120 five points a. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.840 Game out of the gate. 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.760 Oh and they've got the Arizona Cardinals this week. 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.280 Don't you think it's funny? We spent all off season. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.719 On DAK is gonna be this DAK can't play those 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.520 too many interceptions. Yet the first two weeks of the season, 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.360 we're not talking about Dak. 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.080 We're talking about the side of the ball that starts 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:47.680 with D. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.480 It starts with D and d Ware also told us 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.760 on this show that if Micah Parsons has the type 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.480 of season this season and several of them moving forward, 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.240 he's gonna break d ware all time Cowboys sack record. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.440 And he said, if this d plays like this on 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.880 this show, the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl. 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.200 Micah Parsons. When I took to Jets coaches after this 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.280 game during the week and then went over the film, 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.280 they said, Steve, he just did whatever he wanted to 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.560 on the field, like he could do whatever he wanted 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.000 to do and attack us however he wanted. He had 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.480 four tackles, three of them for a loss, two sacks, 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.560 four quarterback hits, a pass defense to forced fumble, a 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.240 fumble recovery. He really, sir, Popcorn, he did everything in 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.960 this entire game. And he's kind of the lynchpin of 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.080 this entire defense that is so deep, able to pressure 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.000 you from a variety of spots. And now that Dan 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.600 Quinn remember pull his name out of head coaching searches 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.120 each of the last two years been able to mold 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.200 this defense into exactly what he has wanted with a 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.640 rush and cover aspect to it. Don't forget Stefan gilmourrise 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.560 your number two corner Like this team is deep an 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.080 ability to do a lot of different things to you. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.920 As a full defense, this might be the group that 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.360 carries him. And we'll see what Dak does playing second 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.640 fiddle in a sense to making sure that nothing hurts 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.679 this team in a sense changing their style offensively a 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:08.080 little bit. 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.760 Well, I mean, and look, JP, I love this defense, 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.760 I love the personnel, I love their depth, I love 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.960 what they're doing. But can we really sit here and 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.480 say they're the bosses? Because again they played the Giants 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.960 forty to nothing, they played the Jets, they played Arizona 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.760 this week, and then they played New. 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.480 England in Week four? Right? This always continue this trend 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:28.120 for too more? 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.280 Oh well, that's when things get really interesting, right, don't 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:32.280 they have the run. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:36.840 Of the Niners, the Chargers, the Rams. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.559 There's another one in there, another offensive team that we're 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:41.120 going to figure out. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:42.839 I think the Eagles are in the mix as well. 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.240 So this is where We're really going to find out 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.600 about the defense, but they have two more games to 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:55.360 solidify themselves even further before staking their claim, possibly on 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.240 top of the NFC East, say Pe, you know. 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:03.040 Who's getting it done. The Miami Dolphins are getting it done. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.839 And coming up next, Cameron Wolf is going to say 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:10.000 the key reason why has everything to do with the 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.600 backfield in motion. 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:13.679 Here on the NFL. 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:20.400 Report, our back of the NFL Report. 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.200 We're getting ready to head into Week three of the 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.559 NFL season. Steve White, James Palmer now joined by Cameron 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:31.880 Wolf and Cameron the Miami Dolphins. Their offense looks more 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:37.760 dynamic than ever the Tua Tyreek connection. Besides familiarity, what's 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.120 kind of the secret sauce brewing between these two? 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.200 Yes, Steve, they have the quickest time to throw and 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.200 the largest yards per attempt, which those are two stats 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.960 that don't typically go together. They're getting the ball quick 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.240 and they're throwing it deep and really a key core 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.680 that has been the Dolphins motion, and this week I 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.320 wanted to dive a little deeper into what makes that 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.080 motion go. And when you look at some of the 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.439 the elements they do, they adjust to what the defenses 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.800 give them the motion stuff is not new. They did 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.679 it a bunch last year, but this year teams crowded 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.640 the middle of the field where Tua loves to throw 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.280 the ball, and you've seen them, particularly with Tyreek Hill, 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.280 have a wheel route on the back of it. They've 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.960 had a short motion on the back of it. Anything 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:22.040 to get Tyreek in motion. And Frank Smith, their offensive coordinator, 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.000 told me every single motion they do has a purpose 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.600 and it's not like a lot of teams where they 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.800 do it as window dressing or to show if his 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.360 manners own, he says, no, we do things directly based 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.080 off of how they react to the motion. For example, 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.440 if their defense will crowd the middle of the field, 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.040 we'll throw that real wheel route on the back of things. 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.080 And so I think that's been a huge key to 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.960 while the Dolphins have been so successful. Tua also told 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.400 me they see the chaos on the field. They force 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:51.240 defenses to communicate to extreme and it makes mistakes and 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:52.200 they take advantage of it. 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.080 Well, love cam is the way they use motion is 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.440 it's not a guy just you know, running across the field. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.720 Do you remember a good junior and Jerry Maguire coming 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.760 across with the two hands up, just. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.200 Like real slow across the back. No. 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.800 I mean Tyreek Hill is moving in a lot of 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.280 these motions and he is really really moving. And Sean 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.000 Payton said an interesting thing this week when he stated 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.000 one of them underrated aspects that makes Tyreek Hill so 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.760 dynamic is his stamina. He can run for days and 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.600 this is kind of adding to it in a sense. 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.240 But how do they go about all of this work 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:28.200 within motion? 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.440 You talk about how they do it differently, what do 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.720 they do differently during the week to allow them to 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:34.960 have this success though. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.240 Yeah, James, there's a lot of behind the scenes elements, 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.400 including their wide receivers and their running backs. Having specific 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.680 elements of their meeting focus solely on motion, they will 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.040 just have those still position groups who come together and say, hey, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.400 these are elements that we want to focus on this week. 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.000 We're going to do a lot of short motion and 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.840 so we're going to spend fifteen to twenty minutes of 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.840 this meeting just focused on this motion and getting it 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.320 right because there are a lot of details that we 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.480 may not see in the finished product. I was talking 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:04.200 to Eric Judisville earlier today and somebody mentions to him 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.880 that it looks like the CFL with Tyreek Hill running, 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.360 and he's like, wait, wait, wait, it's not the CFL 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:10.880 because the CFL they move forward. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.000 That's against the rules. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.640 We follow the rules here, right, and so the rules 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.920 are element here because Tyreek's running fast across the field, 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.160 but he has to be careful not to go forward. 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:21.280 And so that's where the. 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.120 Track element comes in. They have a bunch of track 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.080 news on this team, including Tyreek and it's almost like 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.360 he's running a curve. He's running horizontal at line of 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.200 scrimmage and once the snap hit he goes vertical. And 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.680 it's hard enough to cover Tyreek Hill when he's stationary. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.520 Imagine what it's like for defenders when he's already on 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.480 go fifteen sixteen miles per hour going towards the field. 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:43.720 Well, and Cam, there's also with this thing too, right, 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:48.160 Mike McDaniel comes from the Shanahan scheme. So when you 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.640 have someone like Tyreek Hill, right, they do two versions 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.160 of their emotions too, well, several, but you've got the 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:58.320 straight line across the center's butt all the way through 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.000 and then sometimes he bows behind the quarterback, especially if 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.800 Tua is in pistol. So what's the first thing the 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.639 defense is gonna guard against, especially someone that fast that 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:08.600 is the jet. 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.400 Sweep or when he does the bow, the quick toss 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:12.240 or the quick screen. 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.560 So the first thing that edge defender has to do 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.679 is guard the outside and that will be a tell 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.000 because if they don't, they're gonna pop that ball out there. 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.399 And if they do, then that's when the middle of 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.679 the field opens up because there's all kinds of strategic 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.800 ways with the ways they use their motion, whether it's 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.160 that straightway or kind of that Boeing way which leads 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:35.600 to the CFL kind of eye candy. 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.280 Yeah, we cheating camp, They're trying. They're not cheating. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:42.040 They're not cheating. 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:43.840 But I will tell you me and you were talking 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.200 about this, James. It kind of reminds me of Dwan 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.199 Taylor with the with the Chiefs earlier this year. 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:49.880 Were right. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.000 On the line of what you're supposed to do. And 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.560 that's where that meetings and the practice comes in mind. 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.399 You have to do it right so that it's so 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.600 close that the rest won't call it, but that you 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.400 use every advantage. The coaches have told me all week 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.520 that is our advantage. So we're not going to give 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.000 you the secret sauce of how we teach them and why. 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.720 You know why the intricacies are so important, But these 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.119 guys are taught specifically when they can start to go 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.479 forward and it is on the line, James, it is. 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.359 I love it, camp I love it. Good stuff, but 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:20.920
