WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Jets Week 12 Preview 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:04.960 Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. Now let me check 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:09.280 your pulse if you're not. What is up? Dolphins? 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.440 And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, part of the 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:17.200 Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:19.720 How's it going to everybody? I am your host, Travis 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.720 Wingfield And on today's show, time to turn the page 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:23.880 post haste. 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.840 At long last, it is Jetsweek. The preview show moves 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:28.960 up a day for us. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.040 Here we'll tell you about the critical matchups, a not 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.479 so brief Jets introduction, storylines that pop and key to 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.000 the game from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:40.599 Health Training Complex. This is. 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:46.720 The Drive Time Podcast Jets Week. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.000 We talked about this on the post game show with 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.120 Seth and OJ. Fans of this team don't like the Patriots, 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.280 Bills and Jets. And if you're an old timer or 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.000 approaching old timer like I am, then you also include 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.080 the Indianapolis Colts in that equation. But as we previewed 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.800 the Jets game, I told the fellas, there's just something 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.120 about the Jets that takes my hatred for that team 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.959 to a different stratosphere for me. I think it really 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.080 went back to the Rex Ryan years, went to twelve 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.919 on one the ten scale. I thought that they talked 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.560 more than any team that hadn't accomplished anything and anybody 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.800 else ever in National Football League history, I thought. 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:27.640 I think now. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.240 Social media probably carries that torch these days, because especially 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.240 this offseason, when the discourse among national pundits that the 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.560 entire cognacenti chose the Jets over the Dolphins and their 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.959 AFC wildcard picks. For the most part, everybody had Buffalo 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.640 winning the AFC East. But then the Jets fans on 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.480 Twitter talking about the Dolphins like they were also rams 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.000 just did not sit well with me because now as 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.560 we move on here and the Dolphins have dealt with 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.440 their injuries and they lost Aaron Rodgers, but that rest 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.800 of that roster has not carried their team the way 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.080 you would think a good football team would, right, So 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.880 it always stuck in my craw that way, and right 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.000 now they're reeling jokes on them, but also the games 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.520 on national TV, on a game that most people are 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.600 going to watch as they're coming back from their shopping 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.119 spreeze and setting in for another round of turkey Sandy's 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.240 and firing up their prime accounts to watch some professional football. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.079 Who cares about some of these college games? You want 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.560 to watch pro football every week. I want to blow 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.840 a team out, but the smile that will be ingrained 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.000 on my stupid face for the next nine days if 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.119 we go up there and win a game thirty four 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.800 to six. Have you guys seen the horror film Smile. 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.800 I think it's a twenty twenty two vehicle, perhaps twenty 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.679 twenty one. You know, it's basically the premise is the 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.840 demon possesses your body and then you smile at people 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.480 and that's how they kill you or something. 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.000 I don't know, but that would be me. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:50.880 I would be on the cover of the movie Smile, 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.240 and it would actually probably go beyond the Commander's game 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:53.920 providably win. 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.440 That game, because I just love beating this team. 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.520 I want that blowout to avenge Bart Scott's we're gonna 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.560 put hot sauce on Reggie Bush and then actually trying 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.640 to injure him in that game. Instead of Al Michael 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.959 saying it's Jumbo Elliott, I want to hear he's got whill. 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.519 I want to remake taking their quarterback and Chad Pennington 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.079 going into their building and putting a bow on Brett 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.720 Farre's one and done with the jest. So many great 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.840 memories from this rivalry. Bye bye Ricky, Bye bye streak. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.840 But I think this spotlight game in a season that 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.600 I think is going to be very special. I think 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.240 this could be one of our favorite footnotes in the 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.160 Dolphins and Jets rivalry. Let's go ahead and meet these 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.240 guys real quick, and we always start at the quarterback position, 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:37.920 where it just didn't pan out for this team in 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.320 any sense, and in fact, it derailed their entire season. 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:42.680 But I do want to make the point that the 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.880 offense had plenty of issues outside of the quarterback position. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:47.800 In fact, somebody on Twitter wrote back to me I 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.800 said that they think the offensive line is the bigger 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.720 culprit for this Jets failure on offense. And I agree 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.040 with the premise that the injuries and their production has 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:55.640 been awful. 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:57.400 But when I tell you. 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.280 Going back to BYU, going back to cool Prows, Zach 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.840 Wilson has never beat a team from the pocket in college, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.160 high school, in pros, and the retreating against rushers that 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.760 are faster than you are, with cover guys that are 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.360 faster than you are it's not gonna work, and it 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.160 didn't work. It was I never had more conviction on 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.320 a negative draft grade on a player than this guy, 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.960 especially after watching him last season and for the Jets 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:22.680 to bring him back as the backup guy and then 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.240 to not make a move to go get somebody in 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:29.279 four plays into your season. When you lose Aaron Rodgers, thanks, 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.240 you know, I mean, you gave the keys to the 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.560 franchise to a narcissistic, ego maniac quarterback who makes all 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.800 the decisions for you. And I'm sure you guys have seen, 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.280 you know, ghost of Adam Gayze on Twitter. My buddy, right, 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.640 I don't even know his real name, but that's my guy. 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.039 He posted a theory about Aaron Rodgers. He got that 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.480 from me. We were having a conversation in DMS. That's 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.679 my theory. If you watched Hard Knocks in the summer edition, 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.520 you saw how Rogers is the owner, the GM, the 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.880 head coach, and the quarterback of that team. Right, there 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.920 was a moment on the sideline where Rogers had the 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.760 headset on. Salah did to and Sawa said something kind 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.960 of lightheartedly and Rogers like disagreed, and Sala immediately changed 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.679 his position to agree with his quarterback, because Aaron Rodgers 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.880 surrounds himself in his entire life with yes men. Why 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.919 do you think they didn't get a quarterback after Rogers 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.200 got injured? Why do you think they would do that, 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.279 Brian Winhorse, Why would they do that? We couldn't have 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.039 a new guy come in and spark the team and 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.400 lead them to the postseason, right, Because if that happens 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.920 and it takes Aaron Rodgers two or three games next 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.360 September to get back to being the former version of himself, 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.080 then you're gonna have Jets fans who are not hesitating 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.640 at all to boo Rogers off the field and call 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.280 for Josh Dobbs or not Joe Flacco. But you get 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.280 the point, right, And that's something that his vanity would 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:48.159 just simply not allow for so really, like Farv giving 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.200 us Pennington was the best thing that happened to this 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.719 franchise in the eight years post the Marino retirement, Rogers 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.720 going to the Jets is maybe the next best thing 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.960 the Jets have done for us because it caused them 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.200 to sink another year of any defense. And if you've 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.159 got time, go ahead and check out how often elite 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:09.360 defenses in today's NFL, even in the century, sustain their 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.200 production over the course of three years. You're lucky to 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:16.960 get too, very lucky to get too top notch defensive performances, 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.360 and back to back years. You almost never get three 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.840 unless you're talking about like Baltimore two thousand, but even 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.320 that was different era. Tampa Bay two thousand and two, 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.640 that's also a different era. Seattle and the Oughts. That's 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.200 about the closest you get to that, and the Niners 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.040 are pretty good right now. But defense is hard to sustain. 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.039 Right My friends listen to the show can confirm this. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.920 I've been saying it since well I'm not sure when exactly, 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:45.479 but anyone that had eyeballs, that's most of you, and 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:50.520 a baseline level of football knowledge. That's a majority of 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.839 a minority of football watchers right on this podcast. Though 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.520 that's not you because you listen to this podcast because 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:01.200 you know ball, but casual watchers don't have that, right. 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.560 But if you had those two things, you knew you 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.600 knew it was so obvious. You knew that Zach Wilson 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.080 was not capable of leading an NFL offense. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:12.760 It was so obvious. 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.600 That's why I like these Jets debates on Twitter about 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.840 whose fault it is blow my mind because yeah, the 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.160 offensive line's bad. Yeah, Rogers' personal wide receiving room is 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.320 not that great. Yeah the running backs Dalvin Cook was 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:28.240 slow last year. Surprise, surprise, he's slow this year. They 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.680 had those debates, and I'm thinking to myself, all those 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.880 are true, but it doesn't take a PhD to figure 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.400 out what the true issue here is in this offense. 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.360 It's honestly a perfect litmus test for who has a 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.280 clue with football and who does not. Because people that 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.480 think that a no look past here and there or 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.960 a cool, you know, frozen rope shot. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.680 From the far hash, they think that that is the talent. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.000 The talent that wins is understanding coverage and having to 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.680 play with pace and rhythm and attacking those coverages with 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.480 concepts that you understand from your own offense. That's winning 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.560 quarterback play. And he has never, once, not one time, 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.160 shown a proclivity to do that. And you guys know 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.520 what happens to a team with a top five defense 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.520 and a bottom five offense. You lived it for years. 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.600 Maybe not quite those extremes in terms of top and 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.360 bottom five. But you've seen Dolphins teams that had really 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:19.000 good defense and really bad offense, and what happens annually 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.920 to those teams, the defense wears down. I said that 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.080 was coming for this Jets team. I hoped it would 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.040 happen before this game, and it happened the game before 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.280 this game Sunday in Buffalo. Effort was down, the Levy 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:31.280 broke these guys. 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.680 They kind of quit on that game. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.000 You could see Sauce guard or jogging after a catch 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.720 that he allowed for eighty one yards to the house, 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.960 like kind of like Bake did on the Christian Wilkins 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:42.680 play on Sunday. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:43.480 They meled it in. 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:45.559 You think they want to get up on a short 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.040 week against a vastly superior team. I promise you there's 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.720 a handful of players that will go into that game, 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.319 play in that game, just hoping to get back to 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:55.439 their families on Friday night. 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:57.280 So that's my diet tribe. 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.520 The current status of the Jets story really starts in 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.000 week fifteen of twenty twenty and thirteen three oh and 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.400 thirteen outfit on the fast track to pick first in 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.920 a draft class that had Trevor Lawrence the Golden Boy 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.640 right The Jets have the ball at their own thirty 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.360 seven yard line with three point fifty four to play, 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.200 nursing a twenty three to twenty lead over the Los 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.520 Angeles Rams. They go Gore for three, Gore for eight, 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.920 first down, Gore for four, Gore for no gain, third 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.600 and six, dump off to Frank Gore breaks two tackles 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.480 and gets to the first down marker. They go into 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:36.320 victory formation. They won the next week as well, but 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.640 they already had taken themselves off the first pick of 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.400 the draft with that victory and that game. Right there 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.040 is the difference between pick number one and pick number 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.040 two and Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson. 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.160 Lucky right, Dolphins fans. 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:55.319 I also had Justin Fields comfortably as my number two quarterback, 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.600 and I believe that if they built the infrastructure offensively 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.080 that he could work with, then you know, Matt, maybe 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.440 he's even Matt Lafleur, I don't know. I think that 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.920 he would have been a perfect compliment his skill, in 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.720 his style to that team. You have a running quarterback 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.480 with a good defense and a good running back like 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.160 Lamar Jackson Russell Wilson, like it's that's happened for a 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.800 lot of successful teams. I think we'd be in real trouble. 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.160 Not in trouble, but we would have a real fight 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:20.880 for the division on our hands right now. If Justin 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:22.640 Fields was a quarterback of the New York Jets, but 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.080 they Joe Zach Wilson and now he's QB three after 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:25.679 they stayed with. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.840 Him for ten games? Ten what were you doing? 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.440 And of four and six, Mark, they won four of 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.400 those games? Hell, they beat the Eagles. How I got 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.360 no friggin clue, man, I mean I watched that again. 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.400 I saw but like I would take the Eagles ninety 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.080 nine times out of one hundred in that situation. 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.040 But thanks in large part to a very good defense. 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:46.600 Right offensively historic levels of bad bro, twenty two point 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.080 nine percent third down conversion rate would be the lowest. 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.640 In the sty E Jusey of. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.719 The National Football League if it ends that way, and 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.880 it probably is going to, because guess what, Tim Boyle 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.680 is not any better Bro. However, the draft capital they 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.840 accumulated through some great trades Jamal Adams, Jewe Doolan, Seahawks 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.920 Jude Doom helped them have one of the best draft 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.240 classes we've ever seen. Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, Jermaine Johnson, 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.120 and Breese Hall all from twenty twenty two is right 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.920 up there with Jaylen Waddell, Jalen Phillips, and Javon Holland. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.360 They built a top flight defense using a combination of 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:25.880 the draft and free agency. Like in free agency DJ Reed, CJ. Moseley, 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.760 Quincy Williams, and then in the draft with Michael Carter, 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.040 Bryce Huff, Michael Carter the second off the running back. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.240 They cut Quinn Williams, one of the best in the league, 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.040 John Frankly Myers in the draft. All those guys have 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.400 been fantastic for them. It's just been the complete opposite 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.120 on offense. And I have very little doubt that Mackai 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.800 Becton would be a Pro Bowl caliber player if his 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.280 health did not betray him annually just got Carter off 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.360 versus Buffalo. But luckily for him and I'm brutin for 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.720 the kid, just won the two weeks for his injury, 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.240 so he'll miss this game, but he'll be back this 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:51.920 year for the Jets. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:52.360 Hopefully. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.800 They signed Lake and Thomas into a big deal and 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.560 outside of that San Francisco system, it's been a disaster. 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.199 It's at least he's available, I guess, but it's not 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.760 been good. I think this year's second round pick, Joe 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.440 Tipman is going to be a beast. He's very athletic 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.840 center in the pivot. Vera Tucker is a great player, 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.839 but he's also in his second straight year of season 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.920 ending ir But Ben, it's been a lot of patchwork. 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.480 They signed Dwayne Brown, who's a million years old, who's 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.680 had his own health issues. They brought in Billy Turner, 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.320 who's been in fourteen camps since last year. Seems like 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.200 Dennis Kelly was in season free agent signing as well. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.440 They signed Dalvin Cook to par with Breeze Hall. He 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.840 averages three point three yards per carry and the lowest 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.480 yards above expected. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.840 In the next gen stats in the NFL. 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:33.880 I think it just shows you how difficult it is 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.319 to execute the rebuild even when you have all the resources. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.320 And look, Rodgers returns next year, maybe they have better 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.120 injury luck. Maybe he brings over another buddy of his 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.320 and this time it's actually a good player in Devonte Adams. 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:45.839 Who knows. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.360 My point is a couple of bad breaks can set 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.640 the whole thing off course, and it happened for the Jets, 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.200 and now they're going to rely on a forty year 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.080 old quarterback coming off an achilles surgery to lead them 0:12:58.120 --> 0:12:59.880 back to the Promised Land next year with a pick 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:00.880 in the middle of the first round. 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.840 Most likely. We'll see, we'll see. But I love that. 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:06.400 I absolutely love it. 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.920 Because I dislike this team nearly as much as I 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.400 love my Miami Dolphins. To put a bow on the 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.600 Jets introduction here before we get to storylines, It's a 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.560 good thing that Joe Douglass had that twenty twenty two 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.760 class right, because twenty twenty one Zach Wilson, to me 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.200 is the biggest bust in NFL history with all you 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.360 had on the line right there and the quarterbacks you 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.240 had available to you. He is right next JaMarcus Russell, 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.320 and I'm taking him because at least Russell, you know what, 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.800 never mind, Yeah, it's very close, but I'm taking Wilson 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.319 as a bigger bust vera Tucker second straight year on 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.880 season ending, ir that's just bad luck, Elijah Moore if 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.360 they traded him away for pennies, Michael Carter, you cut 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.120 him for what, I don't know. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:46.640 Dalvin cook, Baby, that's weird. 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.040 He did find Michael Carter, the second their slot cornerback, 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:51.600 who was very good in this draft, so that was 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.840 the one saving grace there. But twenty twenty, McKai Becton 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.240 hasn't finished a season yet, and this year he might 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.200 if he comes back. I wrote that down before I 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.840 saw the news on him. Marvin Mims he got cut 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.960 pretty quickly. Ashton Davis is the fourth safety on the roster. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.480 But I loved his game, so I will not talk 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.800 badly about that because I was wrong too. Jabari's and 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.280 Ninga remember he had like a crazy bad workout or 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:13.400 something like that, and he dropped all the way to 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.240 the third round. They still drafted him and he got 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.079 cut like the next year, the next season, and then 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.520 with five Day three picks, only one is still around 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.400 their cornerback for Bryce Hall. So yeah, that's what bad 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.240 drafting looks like for all you weirdo Greer haters up there. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.480 Let's go ahead and get to the storylines for this game. 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.120 First ever Black Friday game, and I keep hearing people 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:32.960 ask because anybody who played on Friday before, Yeah, it's 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.680 happened a lot. Actually, In fact, Dolphins fans. You should 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.840 know this. Two thousand and five, and I'm weird. I 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.680 remember these dates like Mike McDaniel does. Two thousand and five, 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.960 there was a hurricane in town and they pushed the 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.200 game up to Friday night, and I'll never forget following 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.840 the game on my like flip one of those like 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.200 flip phones on the Little Dots game cast against the 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.120 Kansas City Chiefs. Fronnie Briden had like a sixty five 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.200 yard touchdown run, but we lost by like two touchdowns. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.040 It was a bad game. But it's not the first 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.680 ara of Black Friday or not. It's the first ever 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.240 Black Friday game. It's not the first Friday game. But 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.080 short week on the road is always going to be 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.640 a test. That's the biggest obstacle. I think this week 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.480 you're most likely just walking through. They'll have one practice 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.120 this week. Coaching matters even more in these games, so 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.920 a big test for McDaniel, Fangio and the entire staff. 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.880 I am curious to see what the environment's like. I 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.840 know what it will look like. If they were six 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.800 and four, it would be tough. But these last two losses, 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.560 the quarterback change a holiday, I wonder what the crowd 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.800 noise situation is going to be like up there. In fact, 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.240 let's go ahead and check out the weather report. I 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.840 think it's supposed to be like forty five degrees. Sorry, 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:38.840 I'm doing this live, guys. My apologies East Rutherford on Thursday. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.360 Oh nice, the rain subsides by Thursday. But yeah, it's 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.760 forty two low, fifty two high. So yeah, right around 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.880 forty five degrees. It's that's a little chilly, but they'll 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.600 be all right. Next story line two of versus the Jets. 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:49.720 He's only two an ONUS career. 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:50.160 Against the Jets. 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.840 Didn't play him last year, missed both games with injuries. 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.960 Didn't play him in twenty twenty because he was not 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.080 the starter in the Fitzpatrick first game and the second 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.440 game Flores held him out even though you can play 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.040 to start Ryan Fitzpatrick. And he won that game twenty 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.560 two through twenty to nothing, twenty three nothing I forget. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.520 But anyway, so he's two years of his career. Did 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.440 not play a game against a division rival, so he's 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.480 two to zero. It was a sweep in twenty twenty one, 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.760 and I thought his best game that year, Pampa game 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:17.400 was pretty good. But I thought the way he can, 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.520 you know he can torn it himself against the Jets 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.280 in that road game was really impressive. 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:23.680 So two against the Jets. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.840 You beat Scott Thompson last year and you lost to 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:27.560 him at the end of the year, So you're playing 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.560 a real QB one this week. Jets State of the 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.240 Jets Man Players Only meeting last week. JJ Watt came 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.480 out and said after the Buffalo Players Only meeting that 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.840 you might as well start making your vacation plans because 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:38.360 it's over. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:39.160 Once you do that. 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.400 Then they have that showing on Sunday that would really 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.960 challenge your team metal I would have to think. I'm 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:46.920 curious to see how they try to overcome that. I'm 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.520 curious how the defense respawns. It got bad late in 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.920 that game. Man, that long touchdown blacked effort and pursuit 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.880 after the ball carrier. And we've seen it happen when 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.720 great defenses wear down after being asked to consistently go 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.320 out there after offensive three and now offensive right now, 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.080 over and over, go get more stops. It is challenging. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.040 It wears you down. They held up as one of 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.840 the top defenses in the NFL through the first nine games, 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.440 then the Levy snapped right. I am very, very very 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.080 curious to see what the Jets look like in this game. 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.720 I'm inclined to think it will be bad. I think 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.679 their performance here will dictate what this team is in 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.639 the final seven games and ultimately decide if Robert Salah 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.119 gets another year. I think Joe Douglas already has a 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.400 very tough, uphill battle to come back next year. Too 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.479 many bad drafts, too much Aaron Rodgers GMing going on 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:31.639 there to survive that. 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:33.520 But I think the Jets could be. 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.760 In one of these states of total catatonia in this game. 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:37.840 On the road again. 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.960 Final note here, we've only played three road games since 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.280 Week two, and we lost them all, damn it. I 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.479 would argue that they are the three toughest teams or 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.240 venues to play against, and in the Bills, I'm still 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.800 convinced that was the best single performance in a game 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:52.719 this year by any team in the NFL. And then 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.800 at Eagles and then at Germany in a crowd of 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:58.520 mostly Chiefs fans. Those are tough asks. You won convincingly 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.840 in your Week two road game. Week one was back 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:02.600 and forth, and that was a different game because our 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.760 defense wasn't what it is right now, but we had 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.080 the explosive offense. But two and zero on the road, 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.000 can we get back in the win column there? And 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.080 I would love to see a clean operation, no wasted timeout, 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.439 it's no false starts, no pre snap stuff. Just be 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:16.800 clean on the road and you should have success in 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:18.440 this game. Let's go ahead and take our first break 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.280 right there and come back on the other side and 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:24.000 talk Dolphins offense first Jets defense. That's next Drive Time Podcast, 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.320 your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by I don't Know, 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:30.920 Segment two on. 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.240 A Tuesday preview edition of the Drive Time Podcast. 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.120 I kind of feel like Wednesday is a little bit 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.320 too early to do my previews, but we're already pot 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.240 committed and Tuesday feels like it's way too early, even 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:43.240 though the game's on Friday. 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.520 But here we are. We're sticking with the schedule. 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.880 We're talking about Dolphins and Jets Friday from the Meadowlands, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:53.200 three o'clock kickoff on Amazon Prime and a potential. 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:54.080 Very fun day for Dolphins fans. 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.200 Let's go ahead and meet the Jets defense, who lines 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.239 up like this at the safety position defending against two 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.360 A tongue Bai Lowa. Jordan Whitehead plays every snap for them. 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:07.080 They lost his running mate Tony Adams this week was 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.240 injured against Buffalo, and so Adrian Amos, a guy they 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.679 signed in training camp when Chuck Clark, who was signed 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:15.879 to start for them, had a season ending injury. 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.240 So Amos, more. 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.720 Of a nickel safety in his career, will be the 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.040 starter on Sunday. It seems like every week we play 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:24.800 a team that has a safety who's down, which is 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:26.719 nice for a team that has such a good passing offense. 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.960 And then Ashton Davis thirteen percent of the snaps as 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:30.880 well at the cornerback position. This is where they are 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.520 best in their entire football team. Sauce plays eighty nine percent, 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.320 DJ Reid plays eighty percent, and then Bryce Hall has 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.400 played twenty percent. Also on the edge inside the guys 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.639 against the Barrioses of the world, Durham Spice of the 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.520 world is Michael Carter the second sixty three percent of 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.119 the snaps and Brandon Eckles has played thirteen percent. If 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.920 you add those up, it equals their entire nickel defense basically, 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:52.680 so there's your two guys that have played pretty much 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.720 every snap of every game when they're in that nickel package. 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.200 And then up front it's pretty good too. Quinton Williams 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.760 is just a beast seventy percent of the snaps. John 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.600 Franklin Myers is also a beast fifty nine percent of 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.719 the snaps. Quentin Jefferson's played fifty percent, and then Solomon 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.639 Thomas has paid thirty six percent of the snaps. It's good, 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.560 it's deep, it's strong, it's aggressive, it's one gap penetrate. 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:16.040 Get up field with your hair on fire. 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.679 And off the edge, Jermaine Johnson has clicked for them 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:20.400 man sixty five percent of the snaps off the edge. 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.680 He's a really good pass rusher, so is Bryce Huff 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:24.879 and Jets fans have been calling for him for years. 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.080 He finally is getting a chance this year thirty eight 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.080 percent of the snap count. He is the team leader 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.520 in QB pressures. And then Michael Clemens, a guy that 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.359 I think is also a good player thirty percent of 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.280 the snaps off the edge. At linebacker going up against 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.840 our running backs is CJ. Moseley, who does not leave 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.040 the field every single snap. And then Quincy Williams has 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.760 really blossomed into a good player for them. So I 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:47.920 mentioned the injuries at safety's there. Michael Carter missed the 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.239 Buffalo game. He's like, it's a big drop off from 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:51.879 him to the rest of their slot cover guys, so 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:52.840 if he can't go. 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:54.600 That would be a very, very big deal. 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.080 He was added to their injury report on Friday with 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.080 the hamstring, so you know hamstrings can be tricky. We 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:01.879 didn't know how long Rob Hunt be out. He's missed 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.000 now the Chiefs game, the bye week, and the Raider games, 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.560 so three weeks off for Rob Hunt. It's even if 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:08.199 he comes back, Like, how healthy's going to be to 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:09.600 cover guys that run four two? 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:10.639 I'd be curious about that. 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.399 So Brandon Eckles is his replacement, and then nose tackle 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.560 Al Woods on that very good front. He is out 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:17.760 for the year as well. But outside of that, defense 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:21.880 is mostly healthy. Their personnel usage. They run their base 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.399 defenses twelve percent of the time. Three to four is 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.280 seven percent, four to three is five percent, But they're 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.199 in nickel eighty five percent of the time. They almost 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:32.840 always stay in that package, and it's because their top 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.240 three cornerbacks are probably three of their best players in 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:38.520 the entire team. I would say that Gardner, Reed and 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:42.280 Carter is the number two cornerback trio for me behind 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:45.359 Ramsey X and Coho. The scheme is a lot like 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.720 what you get here what you got in San Francisco. 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:50.720 I should say where Sla cut his teeth as a 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:51.439 defensive coordinator. 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:52.879 There his hair on fire. 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:56.480 Get up field, disrupt that one gap penetration technique that 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.560 you play. It's tight physical coverage on the perimeter and 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:03.159 two tone setting very fluid off ball linebackers who just 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.400 they play with depth, they play with width, they played downhill, 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.080 they play fast. They will stand those two high structures 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:12.040 and passing situations. Obviously every team does, but they want 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.679 to play in that and will adjust if they have to. 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:17.240 And that's why I think it's important that Miami makes 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.680 them do that, make them get out of their their 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:21.960 you know they're too high look and force them to 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.359 bring somebody down to play the run extra hat in 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.480 the bucks. I think it's important for this Dolphins offense, 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:29.560 not just in this game, but for the rest of 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:32.440 the year, to get the perimeter run game going. Make 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.800 those corners tackle. Sauce doesn't want to tackle. DJ reads 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:37.720 pretty good at but Sauce doesn't want to tackle, make 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:39.840 that one gap rush, hesitate, just one step. 0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:40.520 That's all you need. 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:42.840 If you do that, you'll have lots of success. And 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.080 then the game up there last year and the game 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:47.919 down here for that matter, Miami got the ball on 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.000 the edges effectively in both those games. It allowed Miami 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.520 to sustain drives while working with your third string quarterback 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:57.439 right in his first action in the Jets game and 0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:00.399 then late in the year when he came back off 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.840 the bench for Teddy Bridgewater after the Patriots game and 0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:06.160 that season finale. So I know the game last year, 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:08.200 it was forty to seventeen. It looked like a blowout, but 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:10.000 the Dolphins were kicking a field goal in the fourth 0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:11.520 quarter potentially take a lead. 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:13.479 We missed it because it was fifty plus. We did 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:14.040 to miss those. 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:17.080 But after that the wheels fell off right, and that 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.360 was after a Tanner Connor drop pass. Want to puts 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:21.159 you first and ten, just on the edge of the 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.040 red zone to maybe score a touchdown, go by five 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.000 points at that point in the game. So that's that's 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:28.200 where I think Tua is kind of like your ace, 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:30.959 like your pitcher, your stopper in a pitching rotation, like 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.320 we're on a losing streak here. Put you know, Felix 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:35.040 Hernanda's in the game, let's go ahead and get sselfs 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:35.560 to w here. 0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:36.840 Tua makes great decisions. 0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:38.320 I would like to see him going a run here 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:40.760 against some of these teams were coming up against of 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:44.160 cleaning up that one bad decision per game that he averages, 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:46.879 which is honestly about most quarterbacks that are at his 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:49.760 peak will have one bad decision per game like that. 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:53.200 But strive for perfection. Wind up among excellence. 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:55.600 Right. I think you get the perimeterive run game going, 0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:57.640 you get your horn Hanald stretch game going, and then 0:23:57.680 --> 0:24:00.920 that allows these speedy wide receivers to find softer spots. 0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:02.800 And for two, it turns back to the defense. 0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.040 Get back and whip his head back around and make 0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:07.520 those quick decisions with a pass rush that has been 0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:09.719 held at bay because of the way you've attacked them 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:12.600 off the edges there. I'm very, very excited about Waddle 0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:14.800 and Hill versus Reed and Sauce. 0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.560 I want to win that matchup badly. First time. 0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:19.760 We get that with two at the controls, right, and 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:22.520 I thought there were some changes narrow misses and the 0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:26.439 two contests last year that you hope that two of 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:28.639 being in the lineup changes a little bit, right, it should. 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:32.080 The Jets play sixty eight percent zone and thirty percent man, 0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:35.560 and that's actually a top ten man rate in the NFL. 0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:38.520 Everyone plays zone these days, but I think that zone 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:40.600 rate should increase against this Dolphins team. I don't think 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:42.399 you want to run man coverage against this team. I 0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:44.560 think the Jets will want to generate pressure with four 0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:46.720 and get their backers into those hooks, those deep hook 0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:50.000 and deep curl flat zones and make Miami push the 0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:52.919 ball to the perimeter. So attacking the edge is not 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:55.200 just a run game focal point for me this week. 0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:57.639 It's a passing game idea too. In fact, some splits 0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:01.439 that tell that story. Buffalo ran why off either tackle 0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:04.280 last week nineteen times for seventy five yards? That will 0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:06.160 go a long way if you can get that production, 0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:09.120 and then you know, if you have one more run 0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:10.440 that pops like a fifty yard or all of a 0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:12.600 sudden like that changes the entire game. Right, and Raheem 0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:15.200 Moster and Devon a Chan if he plays both very 0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:19.119 capable of that. Vegas the week before sixteen for fifty seven. 0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:21.720 Not crazy. It's still better than four yards of pop, right, 0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:25.239 is it? I don't know math fifteen thirty two for no, 0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:27.040 it's just under four yards of pop. But you can 0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.480 see that's where teams have had their success. Both Vegas 0:25:29.520 --> 0:25:31.679 and Buffalo had the less than thirty percent success right 0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:34.920 run of the football inside against this very stout interior 0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:36.960 defense of the Jets. As far as the passing game, 0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.440 O'Connell went seven for ten for ninety two yards and 0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:42.280 a touchdown throwing the ball outside the numbers against this 0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:45.240 Jets defense. Josh Allen last week was eleven for fifteen 0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:47.760 with eighty five yards, and both of his touchdowns came 0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:50.399 on throwing the ball outside the numbers. I think you 0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:53.320 can get that with your matchups I e. Waddle and 0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:56.439 Barrios on those speedouts if Bracs can go. Of course, 0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:59.639 those longer developing over routes cont will be missed for 0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:02.240 the pick against the Raiders in that game. Working off 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.159 the play pass and those, you know, you kind of 0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:07.480 stretch the roof of the defense then sneak that over 0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:10.360 out in their underneath vacated coverage. I love those concepts. 0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:11.879 We can get them cranking and if you get your 0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.080 run game going. You can get to those plays, of course, 0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:16.199 the comebacks and deep outs to Tyreek, and then of 0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:19.000 course the screen game. The key names to focus on 0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:21.320 here for the Jets, Bryce Huff will rush the majority 0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:22.840 of the time against Tarron Armstead. 0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:24.800 He leads the Jets with forty. 0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:27.520 Eight QB pressures. He's been very, very good, very explosive player, 0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:30.399 high motor. But of course I like t set against anybody, 0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:32.000 so that's a matchup for us to win. I think 0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:34.240 John Franklin Myers does a lot of his work off 0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:37.440 those three, four and five technique positions, a heavy end, 0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:41.639 heavy handed. Hopefully Rob Hunt is ready to roll, because 0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:44.160 I talked about on the All twenty two podcast. Guard 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:46.600 was an issue on Sunday. I like it when Rob 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:49.520 and Austin can deal with you know, JFM and the 0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:51.680 rest of the boys they have up there who want 0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:53.040 to reset the line of scrimmage. 0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:55.480 Quinn Williams has thirty nine pressures. 0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:57.600 Connor is coming off his best game, but if you 0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:00.239 go over his career, and this is for most like 0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:03.240 lighter centers in the National Football League, playing against these 0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:06.840 biggest and best defensive tackles is usually a challenge, especially 0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:10.120 in pass pro, Like they're gonna get their stats because 0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:12.080 they are Aaron Donald, because they are Quinn Williams, because 0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.440 they are Jeffrey Simmons like, and you know he's gonna 0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:16.600 have these guys the next four weeks now, Quinn Williams, 0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:19.480 next week, Debron Payton, Jonathan Allen, then Jeffrey Simmons and 0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:22.000 then Quinn Williams again. So it's gonna be a run 0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:23.639 of good dtackles here for Connor Williams. 0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:24.879 But he's played really well. 0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:27.560 Best game last week, I thought as a Dolphin and 0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:29.680 it's a key matchup, but of course you have helped 0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:32.920 there with both guards. And then Quincy Williams and CJ. 0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:34.840 Mosley are two guys that I think worry me the 0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:37.400 most in this entire team because they are instinctive players 0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:39.719 who can wind up in places they're not supposed to be, 0:27:39.800 --> 0:27:42.639 kind of like Robert Splain last week, with tremendous speed 0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:46.120 to all fields like downhill sidelines, getting depth. That's why 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:48.359 I think it's imperative to get them moving side to 0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:51.000 side to the mixture passing game from the inside out 0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:54.040 stretch it wide stretch at verdegt or horizontally space them 0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:56.120 out and then hit those you know, timing routes over 0:27:56.119 --> 0:28:00.280 the middle. Raheem is great at doing this at those 0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:01.800 guys out with speed, but also having the vision to 0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:04.320 get certain gaps and catching the football and the perimeter. 0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:07.119 And then Devon Hen obviously hopefully we have him for 0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:09.840 the same reasons. Also, I think we're gonna cook sauce. 0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:11.600 Sauce is gonna be cooking up his own sauce in 0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:14.119 this game. He's too grabby. Use our motion. Maybe they 0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:15.840 do a little bit less study this week as they 0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:17.320 are in f it mode, Like that's kind of how 0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.200 I think they're gonna come out, get our motion, going 0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:21.840 test their communication and their will and how much they 0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.520 actually put into game planning this week on a short week, 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:28.200 and get some clean releases to get explosives and get flags. 0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:31.720 My prediction here is we see two field flipping flags 0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:35.280 against an aggressive Jets secondary. This is the real premier 0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:36.080 side of the matchup. 0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:36.760 Good on good here. 0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:39.840 Jets top ten and most defensive categories, Dolphins number one 0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:42.600 in most offensive categories. But the Miami defense has been 0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:44.480 stifling as of late. How do they keep it rolling 0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:47.280 against the Jets. Well, that's next Draft Time Podcast, your 0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:48.840 host Travis Wingfield, brought to you. 0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:49.760 By I Dontation. 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:57.640 Dolphins defense versus Jets offense on a Tuesday preview edition 0:28:57.720 --> 0:29:02.160 of the Draft Time Podcast. Tim boy Timmy Liam McPoyle 0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:04.880 mcboyle won't be starting the game for the Jets against 0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:07.320 the Dolphins safety trio or really due at this point 0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:10.640 of Holland and Elliott, their receivers Garrett Wilson ninety two percent, 0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.400 Alan Lazard eighty one percent. They'll go up against Ramsey 0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:15.560 and Howard, and then on the inside co who's gonna 0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:17.640 get Xavier Gibson who plays thirty one percent of the 0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:20.520 snaps and the tight ends Tyler Conklin and cj Usama 0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:23.560 sixty nine and thirty eight percent of the snaps respectively. 0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:26.120 Their offensive line is gonna go like this. Carter Warren 0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:28.520 is a rookie left tackle, play his first action on 0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:32.200 Sunday against the Bills. Lake and Thomasin's left guard, Joe 0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:35.640 Tipman's the center, The right guard is Chris Glasser, who 0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:36.560 the right. 0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:40.000 Tackle is Max Mitchell. So that's who we have to 0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:40.400 deal with. 0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.120 The offensive line is akin to how our cornerback position 0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:44.120 was a year ago. 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:45.280 Here's who is out. 0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:47.520 Makai Becton was finally having a good year, but he's 0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:50.160 gonna miss the game. He moved back to left tackle 0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:53.440 to replace the injured Dwayne Brown, so technically on their 0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:56.680 third tackle. Their best offensive lineman, Elijah Vera Teker's out 0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:59.520 for the year. His replacement was Wes Schweitzer. He's out 0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:02.080 for the year. Connor McGovern is also on ir He 0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:05.440 was the starting center on opening day and was playing 0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:07.680 some guard in place of some other injured players to 0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:11.400 get rookie Joe Tipman into the lineup. Billy Turner, you 0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:13.600 guys remember him, he was an in season signing. He 0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:16.080 missed the last game with an injury, and Austin Declis 0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:19.440 was also inactive for the Buffalo game, so look a 0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:21.880 change had to happen at quarterback right. This offense was 0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:26.080 again historically bad statistically, but the offensive line attrition plays 0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.120 a big part of that. They lined up with a 0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:30.800 rookie third round pick, Carter Warren last week. He should 0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:34.000 started the game against US here, and then Chris Glasser 0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:36.240 is a UDFA from twenty twenty two on his fourth 0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:38.440 team in one and a half years. Tipman the second 0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:41.080 round draft pick Thomainson, a big free agent acquisition who 0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:43.080 has not worked out, and then Max Mitchell was a 0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:45.600 fourth round pick last year who has not played that well. 0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:48.000 You're just not going to develop continuity with that many injuries, 0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:50.880 and most teams don't even have five quality players in 0:30:50.880 --> 0:30:53.400 this position group, so to expect them to get any 0:30:53.400 --> 0:30:56.719 production from guys like eight, nine and ten is asking 0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:58.760 a whole heck of a lot. They're down to backups 0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:01.120 at just about every position. It's tough to make a 0:31:01.120 --> 0:31:04.800 living that way. Personnel usage eleven personnel, one back, one 0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:07.480 tight end, three receivers is two thirds of their offense 0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:10.880 sixty six percent. They run two tight ends sixteen percent 0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:13.760 of the time. That's twelve personnel. They go thirteen personnel 0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:16.640 nineteen percent of the time, So that's that might be 0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:18.360 a little bit more new recently, and I think they 0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:19.920 might see more of that going into this game with 0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:22.400 the offensive line issues, maybe some more two man route 0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:24.800 combos and max protection. And they also run twenty one 0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.400 personnel six point seven percent of the time, but that 0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:29.360 has gone down because it was a lot of haul 0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:32.040 and cook early on, but now cook doesn't play. 0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:33.040 Much because it was cooked. 0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.000 I think we keep this brief because I don't know 0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:36.560 what it looks like with Tim Boyle here man like 0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:39.680 he's barely played and there's not enough tape to really 0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:43.000 see scheme tendencies, especially considering his only action with the 0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:46.680 Jets was like in the you know, garbage time last week, 0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:48.800 I covered a lot of the offensive line actrician already 0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:51.560 in the offense. In general, I found this hilarious though, 0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:53.959 a quote from Boyle on what he brings to the team. 0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:57.280 Here's a quote from the athletic decisiveness is a part 0:31:57.320 --> 0:31:58.920 of my game that I lean on. Just trying to 0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:01.680 get the ball out, not forcing things into coverage. There's 0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:03.360 a part of the game where taking a sack is 0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:05.400 better than trying to jam it into coverage and throwing 0:32:05.440 --> 0:32:08.440 an interception. So I think I bring I just get 0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:10.200 the ball out quick. It takes a lot of heat 0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:12.360 off the offensive line, It gets our playmakers the ball 0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:14.000 in space. We have some guys that can make some 0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.880 people miss. So like, even his own assessment of his 0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:19.480 own game is confusing, like do you eat sacks because 0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:22.240 they're better than picks, which sounds like Zach Wilson, Or 0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.240 do you get it out fast? And getting the ball 0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:26.440 out quick. Without a real run game and no real 0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:29.240 threat of a vertical game. I think Miami crowds the 0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:31.880 line of scrimmage and makes life very, very tough on him. 0:32:32.120 --> 0:32:34.640 It has just been a slog for this group for 0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:37.200 all those reasons. Quarterback play has been atrocious, the worst 0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:39.800 we've ever seen. The skill group hasn't had anyone step 0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:42.320 up beyond the star of the group and Garrett Wilson, 0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:44.920 and he has injuries, and the offensive line injuries have 0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:47.400 been insurmountable. So they turned Tim Boyle in hopes of 0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:50.440 turning these trends around right. They scored a single touchdown 0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:54.880 in their last forty six possessions. That was a touchdown 0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:57.000 and a lop sided game in Buffalo on Sunday, and 0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:58.560 it was already sixteen nothing at that point in the 0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:03.120 second half. The touchdown was their first on a drive 0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:06.320 that started in their own territory since Week five. Guys, 0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:09.440 it's week twelve, two months, and that was a one 0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:12.160 play drive of seventy two yards a run by Breeze 0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:14.640 Hall that went to the house. Since then, they have 0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:19.400 four drives that scored touchdowns on sixty six drives. It 0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:21.600 was a seventy two yard run from Breeze Hall, a 0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:25.000 one play drive that was an eight yard touchdown run 0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:27.280 after a turnover in the Philly game that again was 0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:30.480 Breeze Hall, a fifty yard pass from Zach Wilson, a 0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:32.240 check down to Breese Hall that he took the rest 0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:34.080 of the way, and then an eleven play drive in 0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:36.800 Buffalo for eighty four yards and a touchdown. So, spoiler, 0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:39.120 two of your keys to victory are right there. Tackle 0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:41.800 Breeze Hall and do not give them a short field 0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.760 by turning the football over. Some more final notes and 0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:48.040 numbers here. That left tackle I mentioned the rookie has 0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:51.680 a ninety pass block efficiency that is eight points below 0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:54.320 what you want to be. It's not good. Tomlinson ninety 0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:55.880 five to five. That is three points below where you 0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:58.200 should be at left guard. Tipman ninety eight point one. 0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:01.720 Pretty good. Most centers are above that pretty good. Glasser 0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:04.760 ninety six point one that is two points below where 0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:06.920 you want to be. And then Max Mitchell ninety five two. 0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:08.719 That's just all three points below where you want to be. 0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:09.479 Like it's bad. 0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:14.359 Jalen Phillips, Bradley Chubb, Andrew Vank, pick your guy. All 0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:17.279 these guys have four plus sex, they're gonna add to 0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:20.840 that toll. I we'll come back to that. Garrett Wilson 0:34:21.200 --> 0:34:22.880 is dealing with an elbow injury, but he toughed it 0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:24.560 out last week. But he had a rough game, and 0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:25.719 I wonder how much of that had to do with 0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:27.960 the elbow. Two catches, nine yards and a lost fumble. 0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:30.080 He's now lost a fumble each of the last two weeks, 0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:31.560 and they both occurred. 0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:32.880 After the injury happened. What do you know. 0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:36.239 We've explained the importance of Breece Tyler Conkin's made some 0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:38.520 plays as well, But for me, there just isn't a 0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:41.160 bad route to take here because x Or Ramsey can 0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:44.880 lock down Lazard co who can absolutely lock down Gibson. 0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:47.920 But I wonder if that's where you help since I 0:34:47.960 --> 0:34:52.120 love Ramsey on Wilson also, but I think in just 0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:55.920 real quick x his play style always shuts down a 0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:58.919 player like Alan Lazard. But I think the smartest play 0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:01.439 is help wherever Will goes, like when he changes sides 0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:03.360 to the field. Just stay where you are, help on 0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:05.879 that side, and then just dominate all your one on 0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:09.279 ones that you have vastly, vastly superior players at I 0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:11.280 think we come out of this game with multiple takeaways 0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:13.160 I mentioned I come back to the sack production. I 0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:15.960 think five plus sacks. I think they shut the offense out. 0:35:16.000 --> 0:35:18.480 That's my call. What's at stake, big, big game, man. 0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:21.359 It's always important to win divisional games, especially on the road. 0:35:21.520 --> 0:35:23.520 This would give us a two to one divisional mark 0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:25.239 in the road this year. We did it in twenty 0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:27.000 twenty one, I sent a tweet out that was wrong 0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:29.239 and deleted Dick, I'm a freaking idiot. The last time 0:35:29.280 --> 0:35:31.560 before that was twenty sixteen. It was the last time 0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:34.000 we won double digit games and made the playoffs in 0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:36.560 the same year, So go figure. The playoff leverage scale 0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:41.160 says similar importance. And even though ESPN Analytics has Miami 0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:44.080 right now at ninety seven percent to make the playoffs, 0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:46.680 that's because the expected wins are baked into that and 0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:50.200 that includes this game. But going off the Great Summer 0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:54.480 Sports Leverage Scale, a win vault Miami into ninety percent, 0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:56.880 while I lost keeps them right around seventy five percent, 0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.239 So a pretty big sliding scale, or fifteen percent. If 0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:01.960 Miami holds Serve in the division and then wins just 0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:06.359 one game between Washington, Tennessee, Dallas and Baltimore the other 0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:08.919 four games on the schedule. They win the division at 0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:11.400 a four and three finish where you beat the Jets 0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:13.799 twice and the Bills Miami would have an eleven and 0:36:13.840 --> 0:36:15.880 six record and a five and one divisional record with 0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:18.880 is split against the Bills Buffalo by virtue of the 0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:21.359 loss to us, we then have six losses minimum and 0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:23.200 would be three and three in the division, and we 0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:25.400 win the tiebreaker. But of course we have bigger sights, 0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:28.760 so that's kind of relevant right now. The AFC division 0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:30.920 leaders have the following conference records. This is where my 0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:33.160 mind is focused more than Buffalo Bills. They're already in 0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:35.280 the rearview mirror to me, never look back at those guys. 0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:38.439 Baltimore's eight and three, Case, Jacksonville, Miami are all seven 0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:41.279 and three as far as conference records. Baltimore's five and three, 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:43.600 Case's five and one, but they own the head to 0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:45.880 head tie breakers, so this is irrelevant here. You must 0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:48.560 have a better record than Case. You also can beat 0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:50.839 Baltimore in week eighteen to get yourself a better record there. 0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:54.080 But Jacksonville's also five and two in conference, which means 0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:55.960 We're going to have to rely on tie breakers if 0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:57.879 it comes down to that, because we do not play 0:36:57.880 --> 0:36:59.839 them head to head this year. This is also fun, 0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:02.600 totally irrelevant. If we win the game, we'll own the 0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:05.399 one seed going into play on Sunday, but a win 0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:08.319 by KC over Vegas, or a win by Baltimore over 0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:11.600 the Chargers or a win by Jacksonville over Houston takes 0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:13.879 that spot right back away. But of course a loss 0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:16.279 by any of those teams would bump us up one 0:37:16.320 --> 0:37:19.239 spot in the AFC seeding. Makes sense, so a big game. 0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:21.680 Gotta win these ones down the stretch. Hopefully we run 0:37:21.760 --> 0:37:24.360 the table. I think we can, but truthfully, if we 0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:26.279 were to drop one of the games, the best ones 0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:29.200 would be Washington or Dallas because their NFC games keep 0:37:29.239 --> 0:37:32.360 winning all the games, but especially the conference games. My 0:37:32.440 --> 0:37:34.719 key's to victory. We heard them already tackle Breeze Hall. 0:37:34.840 --> 0:37:36.520 We spelled it out for you guys. They've scored when 0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:39.600 he gets going for explosive plays. Otherwise they don't score. 0:37:39.719 --> 0:37:41.680 He has three hundred and eighty yards of his five 0:37:41.680 --> 0:37:45.240 to forty four are after initial contact, and he's forced 0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:47.799 twenty one missed tackles. He's forced twelve more on his 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:50.120 thirty one catches. Get him to the ground, and their 0:37:50.160 --> 0:37:53.200 offense goes nowhere. Protect the football is number two again. 0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:55.000 To that point, the Jets have done a good job 0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:58.320 capitalizing on short fields, but long fields means they cannot 0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:00.680 score touchdowns. Don't make it easy on that. Don't turn 0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:02.000 the ball over. You're gonna win this game. It's that 0:38:02.000 --> 0:38:05.360 simple number three attack the edges of the Jets defense. 0:38:05.400 --> 0:38:07.359 Winning the edge and the running game keeps us ahead 0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:10.040 of the chains. It neutralizes their pass rush and their 0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:12.960 heavy flooding of the middle of the football field zones 0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:16.839 opens up chances outside. When outside the numbers win the game. 0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:20.719 Areas of concern protect toua in true dropback situations. Just 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:22.640 keep too a healthy. We should be okay. Those middle 0:38:22.680 --> 0:38:24.520 of the field players getting hands on football is also 0:38:24.560 --> 0:38:26.840 a little bit of a concern. They're areas to exploit 0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:29.520 literally every single matchup when they have the football. Then 0:38:29.560 --> 0:38:32.600 on our offense, aggressiveness of their corners and the perimeter 0:38:32.680 --> 0:38:33.879 running game and passing game. 0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:35.279 My prediction. You know, it's funny. 0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:37.440 I told myself I wasn't gonna dive into the lopside 0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:39.959 and margin game again. But then I thought to myself, look, 0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:42.560 look at everything you just said, Like, I don't think 0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:44.920 the Jets find points in this game. Maybe maybe a 0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:46.960 cheap field goal or two on a short field. I 0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:50.280 am certain they're not finding the paint, so maybe maybe 0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:54.200 six points tops. But I am a little concerned about 0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:56.439 the Miami offense right now. Not because I don't think 0:38:56.440 --> 0:38:58.560 they can do it, because I think the injuries on 0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:01.279 the interior line have drafts change their ability to run 0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:04.560 the football and protect in true drop back situations. But 0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:08.240 then also like, are you going to let one awful 0:39:08.239 --> 0:39:09.560 predictions sway your confidence? 0:39:09.760 --> 0:39:11.000 Shooters? Keep shooting right. 0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:13.440 The only two games I woefully missed this year We're 0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:16.239 Buffalo and last week. I got the result right last week, 0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:18.839 But man, I felt like I was way off having 0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:20.840 the pulse of this team and that Raiders team. I 0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:23.440 think a lot of short fields, a lot of possessions. 0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:28.120 I think multiple takeaways Dolphins thirty, Jets zero. I think 0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:30.120 we get the outside running game cranking a lot better 0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:32.160 than last week. I think we hit some explosive plays, 0:39:32.160 --> 0:39:34.640 some big penalties as well, have more punts than I like, 0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:37.560 but put together two full length drives for six score 0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:40.000 once on defense, score on a short field, kick, a 0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:42.799 field goal or safety, something like that. Thirty nothing. That's 0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:45.640 the game. That's the prediction. That's the podcast today. We'll 0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:48.480 come back tomorrow with the great Ryan Fitzpatrick on the 0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:50.680 show breaking down this game well, also picked the games 0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:53.640 and here from assistant coaches and heading to a game 0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:56.120 on Friday.
