They had to get 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:14.360 that touchdown on that play. They give it. What's up, 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:18.239 Dolphans And welcome to the Drivetime Podcast, part of the 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:24.040 Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.520 How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.080 and as always I am here to bring you your 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.960 daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. And on today's show, 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.440 I've been looking forward to this one really since the 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.320 Giants game. It's preview day. We're talking Dolphins and Jets. 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.760 Will go position by position and preview this matchup how 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.479 Miami can make it back to back season sweeps over 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.479 the Jets, a fifth win out of six tries against 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.440 the rival under Brian Flores, and take the advantage in 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.080 the regular season all time series at fifty five apiece 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.240 right now, at least in the regular season series. Will 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.520 also give you the three takeaways, tell you how the 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.520 Jets arrived at their current position they are in, and 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.640 a whole heck of a lot more from the Baptist 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.760 Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:16.920 the Drive Time Podcast we have a busy edition of 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.440 Drive Time. Aheads, let's go ahead and jump right in, 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.720 and once again it is Jets weak for the one 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.399 twelve time all time in the regular season and the 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.880 one time here between these two division rivals if you 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:34.000 include the playoffs. Shout out to a f C championship 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.039 game and shout out to a j Doway. We did 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.720 this a few weeks ago, right, but nothing really changed 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.320 as far as the ten thousand foot view for the Jets, 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.280 I mean, Joe Douglas arrives, starts going to work on 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:50.000 that roster, maximizes his assets and accumulates a bunch of 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.000 draft capital as well as salary cap space, and he 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.640 unloaded a big name player in Jamal Adams for two 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.840 high draft picks and has used that or began to 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.520 use that to really infuse this roster with talent. He 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.960 lands his rookie quarterback with the second overall pick in 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.600 the draft back in April. Then he immediately goes to 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.640 work on the offensive line, trading a pair of picks 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.240 and rounds two and three, or rather I think a 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.399 pair of third round picks to go up and get 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:21.400 interior offensive lineman left guard Elijah Vera Tucker after selecting 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.680 their left tackle in the draft in Mackay Beckton out 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.440 of Louisville. I think you see the plan to place 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.160 there right. We saw what rookie Elijah Moore can do 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.040 in the game. Last time around, we saw Michael Carter 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.440 do his thing out of the backfield as well. Now 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.519 the ladder is back this week to supplement their backfield. 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.360 The former is out and so too is another prize 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.760 acquisition at the skill spots and receiver Corey Davis. But 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.760 you can see where they're working to kind of build 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.920 up the offense around their young quarterback, and they have 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.920 all those future assets to put into the defense or 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.640 the team in general however they see fit. But eventually 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.840 you have to put pieces on both sides of the football. Right. 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.079 They've been offensive heavy the last couple of years. Maybe 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.640 this season it goes more towards defense, or maybe in 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.280 two years it doesn't. It doesn't really matter, but you 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.720 get the point. They did some good business on the 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.520 defensive side of the football this offseason and again in 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.920 season with two moves. Their biggest edition of the entire 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.960 off season was lost back in training camp, and Carl Lawson, 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.480 an absolute monster who's gonna get back and really terrorized 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.320 the a f C East and years to come when 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.000 he does get back and healthy. Then in season they 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.920 locked up I think their best current player in John 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.160 Franklin Meyers. So they have some pieces over there as well. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.120 It's a three and ten football team, but they're still 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.400 building their competitive They take on the mindset of their 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.120 head coach and they play tough, smart football under Robert Sala. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:43.920 Let's go ahead and kick this thing off as we 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.640 do each Thursday with the opponent's quarterback versus our safeties, 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.840 and we'll kick it off here with the words from 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.040 head coach Brian Flores on the Jetsbrookie quarterback. I think 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:57.240 Za Wilson's uh, you know, very talented young player in 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:04.720 this league, big arm um, mobile um. And I think 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.480 he's getting better every week. Um so. And I think 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.960 this is uh, this is a player who's you know, ascending. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.480 I think, you know, it's like any young players has 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.760 been some bumps. Um. I know he was out for 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.480 a little bit, he came back, he's played well, and um, 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.200 I think this would be a big challenge for us. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:27.640 So we're you know, that's what we're preparing for, for 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.120 and against. You heard coach mentioned some of the bumps 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.120 in the road there for Zach Wilson, And you might 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.360 remember his run up to the draft, the Pro day, 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.520 all the impressive throws that he showed he can make 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.680 falling away from his target on the move, changing the 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.560 arms slot, you know, going down to three quarters, sometimes 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.080 even completely side armed. He's one of these new generation 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.200 quarterbacks who I like to compare to shortstops in baseball, 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.000 where it doesn't matter if there and if you're not 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.839 a baseball fans day with me here sliding into center 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.320 field into the center field grass to their left, they 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:00.960 still find a way to clear their hips and whip 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.240 that ball across the diamond, or if they have to 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:04.880 go to the back end in the sixth hole the 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.880 six holes between third base and shortstop for your non 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.640 baseball fans and go to the jump pass, like these 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.279 quarterbacks that throw from those shortstop platforms seem to be 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.120 more and more prevalent. So he's immensely talented. But as 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.880 we've seen for just about every rookie quarterback to ever 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.160 do it, and there's obviously some anomalies out there, Dan 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.720 Marino certainly one of them. There is an acclamation and 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.480 adjustment period to play this position at this level. And honestly, 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.800 that's just a rookie thing, not just a rookie thing. 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.920 Like quarterbacks are always learning, but you're not just going 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.960 to have all the answers until you've seen I mean, 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.160 do we go with the Malcolm Gladwell route here and 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.520 talk about breaking the ten hour rule. Maybe it's not 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.520 ten thousand game snaps or practice some game reps, but 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.000 ten thousand hours makes sense. And you just can't get 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.680 there until you're at a certain point in life. So, 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.719 I mean, even some of the most decorative young quarterbacks 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.240 will still have those dips in their consistency. Right. We've 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:03.719 we've seen even Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have hit 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.400 some valleys this season. And there are m v P 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.479 type of quarterbacks Super Bowl m v ps in that 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:15.159 discussion there, and where does that typically come from? You know, 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.880 playing quarterback from the pocket is that that's where the 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.200 job is mostly done. Those off platform throws and the 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.960 workout throws like a Pro Day or a combined workout 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.520 or plays that make the highlight reel that you see 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.640 for weeks in a row on Twitter or sports center. 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.640 Those are the splash plays, and like coach Flores talks 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.360 about with sacks and picks and things of that nature, 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.000 those splash plays make up, you know, a fraction of 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.480 your actual workload, like better than of what a quarterback 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.360 does is boring. And I'm using air quotes heavily here 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.680 because I don't find it boring. But you get what 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.919 the jeff I'm saying, right, And that brings me to 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.920 a larger point, like the bumps along the road will 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.360 flatten out when you can start to master that part 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.920 of the game. Identifying the defense, read the coverage, knowing 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.800 what you have in terms of your call and your 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.560 concept the weakness of the defense that you're seeing a 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.600 post to you, and the way you can exploit those defenses. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.320 Then quickly process the information as things move for you 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.680 post snap. Does you know your steam ral get carried? 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.000 Does the curl flat defender take the bait on the 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:18.480 flat and you have to go into the honey hoole 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.119 back behind the underneath cornerback. Like there's so many different 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.480 things that happened in the time you get the football 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.360 to the time the ball comes out until like two 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:26.760 and a half three seconds. Most of the time, but 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.960 a lot happens in that time. And that's not so 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.040 much an evaluation on Zach Wilson as it is just 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.200 about young quarterbacks in general. But that's where he and 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.600 all young quarterbacks have to stress is finding ways to 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.080 win from the pocket and play the position in the 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.000 traditional sense. Not to be the old guy here, but 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.880 like those fun you know, they're they're basically Patrick Mahomes 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.440 types of throws and he does them all the time, 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.920 but defenses have taken those away from him this year 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.280 and he's having statistically the down year in terms of 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.080 what we're used to, which is forty thousand touchdown passes 0:07:56.080 --> 0:08:00.280 an eight million, two fifty seven yards. Like, there's things 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.200 you can do to get away from those, and they 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.960 still make up just a fraction of your overall place. 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.040 So what does that mean for Miami. Well, we're gonna 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.440 see what the Dolphins have at the safety position here 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.040 because Eric Rose availability is well, he's available. We'll see 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.440 about Javon Holland, and then Brandon Jones missed the last 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.400 two games with an elbow injury as well. And beyond that, 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.880 we've talked about Nick Needham getting some reps and some 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.240 split safety looks. We know about Clayton Federlan providing depth 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.800 at the position, and also Will Parks, a recent acquisition 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.960 here to the roster, is in the mix as well. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.600 But I think the key here hearkens back to what 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.280 we talked about in terms of the learning curve of 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.000 playing this position at this level. The Dolphins really excel 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.040 in their ability to disguise coverage, who's in what role, 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.679 who's coming, who's dropping, all of that, and with Roe 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.000 and Jones and Needham's various usage and the depth at 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:56.360 the position, Miami maintains that flexibility and uncertainty in the 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.760 offense is mind change the picture post snap because you 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.360 have players that can play forty two different roles. Right, 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.880 So some quick Zach Wilson numbers here for you guys. 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.120 We know Miami blitz is a lot thirty eight point 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.360 one percent of the time according to Pro Football Reference, 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.600 which is second only behind Tampa. There's a one point 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.240 two percent difference there, but at three point four percent 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.440 difference between Miami and number three ranked Baltimore. So the 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.760 Dolphins and Bucks blitz substantially more than anybody else in 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:28.400 the NFL. Zach Wilson versus the Blitz forty five point 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:32.640 one percent completion. That's seventy one attempts, seven sacks, a 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.800 four point nine yards per attempt average, zero touchdowns, and 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.679 two picks versus pressure. So, whether it's four guys or 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:44.559 Blitz getting after him, nine point five completion attempts on 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.360 one dropbacks, that means twenty nine sacks, five yards per attempt, 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.440 two touchdowns, and three picks. So I think it's gonna 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.480 be a key to get that sorted for him. I mean, 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.320 he's got to find a way to deal with pressure better. 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.480 And maybe it won't. Maybe there will be more of 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.640 a four man pass rs. The Dolphins are certainly capable 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.439 of playing coverage and and not coming out for the quarterback. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.240 That's not what they usually do. That's one of the 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.000 things I'm looking for here as far as the storyline, 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.840 how does Miami attack the rookie quarterback? Because Pro Football 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.440 Focus has Zack at and six point six yards per 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.880 temp when kept clean, but four touchdowns and eight picks 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.720 if he puts the ball in harm's way, capitalized when 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.400 that turnover margin, and they'll go a long way towards victory. 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.920 We mentioned this in the intro, but the Jets will 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.959 be down a couple of their top receiving threats as 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.240 we move here to our next position. The Jets receivers 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.400 and tight ends versus the Miami cornerbacks No Elijah More 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.600 no Corey Davis. So it's Braxton Barrios, Keelan Cole, Jamison Crowder, 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.559 and Denzel Mims in the receiver room with Ryan Griffin, 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:43.079 tray Ron westco and Kenny Yoboa at tight end for 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.600 the Jets. As far as Wednesday goes for their active 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:50.160 guys on their roster last week, let's go over their 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.680 their snap percentage they played in the game and where 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.040 they play in terms of inside outside and their season 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.560 long stats. You ready for that. So Jamison Crowder played 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.839 the snaps last week. He to go to guy there 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.959 right him and Keelan Cole surpass. We'll get to that 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.000 here in just one second. But he plays eighty percent 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.680 of the time in the slot, so he's their slot receiver, 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.720 sixty four targets from that spot and a seventy percent 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.560 completion rate when they throw to Jamison Crowder. Braxton Barrios 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.240 is the other primary slot guy and he's played forty 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.199 one percent of the snaps last week. Seventy percent of 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:23.960 the time he does play, he's in the slot. He 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.040 has forty two targets this season and a seventy percent 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.480 completion rate, So about three three fourths of the balls 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.040 that go over the middle for the Jets to the 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:35.360 slot receivers they get completed. Keelan Cole he played eighty 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.400 three percent of the snaps last week, so you're probably 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.040 gonna get a good mix of Coal and Crowder, and 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.560 probably a mix of Barrios and Mims in there as well. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.959 But Cole plays eighty three percent of his snaps out 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.800 wide as well, thirty six targets, a fifty six percent completion. 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.120 There's a theme there, right. Denzel Mims thirty three percent 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.040 of the snaps last week. Eight percent of his workload 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.800 this season comes out wide, fourteen targets, fifty seven percent 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:01.960 can placent So when you force the Jets to throw wide, 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:07.640 typically you get about a twenty percent reduction and completion 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.640 percentage at tight end. Ryan Griffin of the snaps last week, 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.360 he plays total either in line or the slot. Six 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.400 in line. In the slot, he has thirty nine targets 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.520 this year, sixty four point one percent completion and then 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.800 Daniel Brown played nine snaps last week. He was a 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.199 practice squad call up, but the other tight ends did 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.920 not play in the game. So among the current personnel 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.080 getting the ball out wide, it's been a challenge. And 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.880 of course we know that's where Xaviian Howard and Byron 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.080 Jones lurk for sixty minutes every single Sunday. So it 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.920 really feels like a game where you ask those two 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.840 studs on the outside to lock up one side of 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.640 the field, in the middle of the fields where the 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.000 Jets probably want to go. I mean, those are not 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.240 good matchups out wide, So how do you make sure 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.480 they can't nickel and dime you and sustain drives and 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.640 pump the ball to those high catch percentage guys. Well, 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:56.960 this is a deep position from Miami. Even if Holland 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.679 can't go and what he does on the inside of 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.960 the form ration defensively, Eric Row can do literally every 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.160 job at the at you know, safety or slot cornerback, 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:11.480 uh cover tight ends, split safety, high safety, Brandon Jones 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.120 much of the same, and their flexibility in that capacity 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.440 could help unlock Justin Coleman to match up inside. Miami's 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.880 just very deep there. Your options are a plenty again. 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.080 You can play coverage. You can play zone and force 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.320 Wilson to throw against those seven man coverage looks. You 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.200 can play a man and send pressure and see if 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.160 they can win those one on ones on the outside. 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.959 I'll be curious to see how Miami plays this. It's 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.560 been hot this week here in South Florida, but Sunday 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.559 is supposed to be eighty two degrees with a sixty 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.840 percent chance of rain. Boo to that. I want to 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.280 see a good weather game. But maybe that affects the 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.920 way the Jets approached this as well. We'll see. So 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.400 some stats from those guys. Back in Week eleven, Crowder 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.200 caught six of his seven targets for forty four yards. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.679 Cole and Barrios both had one target apiece no catches 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.959 for them, and Ryan Griffin caught three of his four 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.560 targets for thirty nine yards. If you keep their past 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:00.880 production in that range, it'll be a long day for 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.559 the Jets. How about up front on the offensive line? 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.760 The Battle of the Trenches. Will discuss that next, but 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:11.200 first a break alright, So, as far as the Jets 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:15.240 offensive line and Dolphins defensive line goes, here are the pressure, sack, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.520 hit and pass blocking numbers for the Jets up front, 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.440 George flat Flant George Fant is their left tackle. Eight 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.320 team pressures, one sack and three hits on five hundred 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.520 and fifty five pass blocking snaps. He's been a decent 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.360 little fine for them. There could possibly the right tackle 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.160 of the future, maybe a long term swing tackle. And 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.320 McKay beck then comes back. I don't know. He's playing 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.920 good ball though, and then Elijah Vera Tucker, I think 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.600 one of their best players already thirty eight pressures allowed 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.160 on five hundred and nine two pass blocking snaps, but 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.720 just one sack and five hits. Connor McGovern eight team pressures, 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.920 four sacks and two hits at center he's played five 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:55.360 two and uh Duverna Tarni Tardiff ten pressures allowed, one 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.680 sack and two hits a hundred and forty five pass 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.840 blocking snaps. So he just was a recent addition to 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.120 of the offensive line. And then Morgan Moses forty pressures, 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.440 three sacks and ten hits on five hundred and fifty 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.480 six pass blocking snaps. And then Greg Van Roten did 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.320 not play last week, but he's got thirty four pressures 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.800 three sacks, one hit, four hundred and forties having pass 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.480 blocking snaps. You can see they've been relatively healthy upfront. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.200 You know, Sam's big, big Mackay Beckton going out early 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.400 in the season, playing just thirty one snaps. But in 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.080 the game against Miami back in week eleven, Laurent Duvernates r. 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.560 Def Was charged with seven pressures allowed. Then Pro Football 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.480 Focus also credits four pressures to the running backs with 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:37.080 Miami's ability to get either free runners with the quarterback 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.920 or the last line of defense with the tailbacks and 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.880 pass production protection. So finding a way to mix those 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.920 fronts show Wilson something different on a consistent basis. To me, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.240 that's the secret sauce in terms of heating up the 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.080 pressure and trying to force some quick decisions, which of 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.400 course can lead to bad decisions. So the Jets did 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.960 have some success in the running game, and let's go 0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:59.920 ahead and finish up on this side of the foot 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.840 ball with exactly that first off here and the Dolphins 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.520 linebackers versus the Jets running backs. We went over the 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.640 receiver snap counts for last week. They were down Michael Carter, 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.640 the running back of the rookie running back last week 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.600 and Ty Johnson stepped and employed forty eight of the 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.640 sixty six snaps. But that should change with the rookie 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.240 Beck who has had a really nice first season here 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.760 with Gae Green. But in that game, Michael Carter had 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.560 just sixty three yards on nine or had six yards 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.200 rather on just nine carries. He broke a thirty nine 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.480 yard run that we all remember. Not our favorite moment 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.160 of that game. But you got to be better in 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.120 regards in that regard in terms of limiting the big 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:36.920 runs for the Jets here, keeping the Jets and long 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.400 down and distance plays into Miami's hands quite well, I think, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.640 and it does every week, but especially in this game, 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.160 like we talked about in the passing game matchup, you 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.840 keep them in third and eight plus. That really benefits 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:49.960 Miami if you can do that. And the success they 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:51.960 had in the run game that day, it all came 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:56.120 off the left side. Here's their rushing and totals based 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.920 upon which gap off left end two for ten, off 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.280 left tackle one for four, not a big sample size, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:05.160 left guard three forty six. That's five yards average, four 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.119 yards average, and then fifteen point three yards average and 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:11.960 total on six runs off the left ten yards per carry, 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.240 again tiny sample size, but the right side, in the 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.320 same sample size was a different story. The gaps working 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.560 from center out to right end where two point five, 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.440 two point oh, three point oh and three point oh. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.200 So trying to beat Vera, Tucker and Fant those are 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.320 very big and very very athletic players. That's the key 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:30.720 to me, trying to find a way to make sure 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:32.680 those two guys don't create big gaps and give you 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.800 a bunch of big runs in this game. As for 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.320 the backs, Carter is a nice combo player, nice speed, 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.760 got some pop, He's a quick decision maker. They'll involve 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.280 both him and Ti Johnson in the passing game as well, 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.040 and that will typically challenge your backer speed but also 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.560 the motor slash effort of your defensive line. And if 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.960 there's one thing I know about this Dolphins defense, one 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.200 thing I can count on with them, it's those guys 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.120 up front playing their asses off. And it's really true 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.800 of the entire team, but those guys hustle and play 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.160 like animals each and every week. Offensively, the Jets play 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:06.720 eleven personnel of the time. That's one percent over league average, 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.959 and they played twelve personnel of the time. That is 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:15.320 league average, so a very common offense in the National 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.720 Football League. It's the McVeigh and Shanahan system. They basically run. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.560 The only other package with more than three percent usage 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.760 for the Jets is ten personnel. That's four receivers. It'll 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:26.720 be interesting to see if they roll that out at 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.320 all with the injuries. They have a receiver and look, 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.480 they've run at seventy three times in thirteen games, so 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:35.240 it's not like again no mathematician, that's not like a 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.040 crazy number of plays per game, about five or six 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.280 per game, but still part of the game plan. And 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:45.760 you know, Matt Lafleur off that McVeigh Shanahan system, window dressing, motions, shifts, 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.879 play action, quarterback boot roll, get outside the pocket, creates 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.040 some moving pockets for him. I like the way the 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.199 Dolphins defend the style of offense. We talked about it 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.920 before with the last year's games against the Niners and 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.080 the and the Rams. You know, pressuring those possible boots, 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.040 blitz the edge of the worry back can't get wide. 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.359 We'll see if Miami can keep that same approach and 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.000 get some more success like they've had against this offensive 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.920 system since Brian Flores arrived on the other side of 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.080 the football, Dolphins quarterbacks versus Jet safeties. We've touched on 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.879 the four straight games here with a one hundred passer 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.040 rating for two a tugle by Looa, and the first 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.800 start of that period was against the Jets. Back in 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.400 week eleven. He entered the Ravens game in the third 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.960 quarter and a bad ball over the middle after the 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.960 opening draft touchdown march in that game, but that was 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:29.919 pretty much it, and it was pretty clean for him 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:31.880 the rest of the way. He finishes the two hundred 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.360 and seventy three passing yards, a couple of touchdown passes, 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.680 and twenty seven thirty three passing that's eighty one point 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:39.960 eight per cent. And the interception, of course. But the 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:43.879 Jets approach in that game, well, it's indicative to how 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:45.560 Solo wants to play, right. We saw it in in the 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.720 San Francisco game, or when he was back in San Francisco. 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.280 I should say we've seen it here. One gap, play 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.000
