We first 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.720 start with where Miami ranks offensively defensively in some of 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.520 the most important categories. After twelve weeks of play eleven 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.959 games in the books, the NFL season heads to its 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.080 final month in December. Heading into the twelfth and final 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.520 month of the year, the fourth and final month of 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.280 the regular season, there's a game in January, but December 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.240 still counts for most of the remaining games. Here is 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:49.400 where your Dolphins rank offensively. Miami's twenty five point eight 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.600 points per game our fifteenth most in the NFL. Three 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.680 eleven point nine yards is thirty point three yards on 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.720 the ground is thirty two hundred and sixteen point six 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.120 yards through the air per game is twenty five in 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.960 the NFL. Miami have allowed twenty four sacks, that's right 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.800 in the middle, tied for sixteen, and their third down offense, 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.440 at forty point four percent conversion is twenty one in 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.880 the NFL. Defensively, some good ranks here. Eighteen point six 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.919 points per game allowed. That second in the NFL. Three 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.800 hundred and sixty nine point nine yards of total defense 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.080 allowed per game, that's twenty in the NFL. One twenty 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.480 nine point nine yards on the ground is twenty six 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.080 to thirty nine point seven through the air is seventeen. 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.440 Miami has twenty five sacks this year that's tied for fourteenth. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.960 Their nineteen takeaways our third most, and their thirty two 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.160 point eight percent third down conversion rate by the opposition 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.760 is number one in the National Football League. And also 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.600 from the inside the Numbers piece up on Miami Dolphins 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.519 dot com taking a look at all the snap counts 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.120 and stats and direct advanced metrics from this game. We 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.800 also have this The Dolphins allowed just ten first downs 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.200 to the Jets on Sunday and two hundred and sixty 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.960 total yards. The ten first downs was the second fewest 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.200 by a team in the NFL in a single game 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.640 this season. Miami retains their plus eighty one point differential 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.040 in the first halves of games, the best in the NFL. 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.959 They're allowing nine point five points per game on defense 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.040 in first half that's the third lowest mark, and offensively, 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.560 the Dolphins are averaging six team point nine points per 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.440 game in the first half of games. That is the 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.720 fifth best in the National Football League. And the Dolphins 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.880 continue to get things done in special teams and in 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.640 the penalty yardage as well as fouls committed. Those small 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.840 details add up so much Miami maintains their spot a 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.880 Top Football Outsiders Special Teams d v O A statistics 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.600 Defensive value over adjusted with the number one special teams 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.680 in all of football and wide receiver jakeem Grant leads 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.000 the NFL minimum ten returns with third teen point nine 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.560 yards per punt return. He's also the only player with 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.160 more than three d punt return yards on the season. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.880 He's got three nineteen. We talked about Jason Sanders and 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.200 Sane Stats on the Sunday Recap podcast. His eighty five 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.680 point seven percent field goal percentage from fifty plus yards 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.800 is the best in the NFL so at least minimum 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.080 ten attempts, and he also has the best field goal 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.600 percentage at eighty six point seven in franchise history. Matt 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.320 Hawk is eighth in net punting average forty two point 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.320 six yards. His nineteen points down into the twenty yard 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.400 line are tied for the fourth most in the NFL. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.400 In Miami's forty nine penalties and four penalty yards assessed 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:24.080 against them are both third fewest in the National Football League. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.320 Snap counts on the offensive side of the football quarterback 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.560 Ryan Fitzpatrick played the entire game, so too did Miami 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:34.320 starting five offensive lineman Austin Jackson, Eric Flowers, Ted Carriss, 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.720 Jesse Davis and Robert Hunt. Adam Pankey joined them for 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.480 four snaps and heavy packages at the scale positions. DeAndre 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.240 Washington leads the way. He gets about half the workload 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.920 at thirty four snaps. That's forty. Matt Brito plays twenty three, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.680 Patrick Laird placed ten and a wide receiver. Listen to 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.560 some of these numbers. Davante Parker almost never left the field. 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.880 He played of the snaps at sixty seven reps in 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.800 the game. Mac Hollins was number two with four seven reps. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.200 Jakeem Grant played twenty four, Lynn Bowden Jr. Played twenty two, 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.800 Antonio Callaway thirteen, and Malcolm Perry, who of course left 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.760 the game with that chest injury, played just six At 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.400 tight end. Mike Asiki played fifty snaps, Derham Smith played thirty, 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.200 and Adam Shaheen played twenty five. In the game, Fitzpatrick 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.000 did most of his damage when not under duress. He 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.760 was sixteen for twenty four with one hundred and fifty 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.480 one yards and through both of his touchdown passes when 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.200 the Dolphins offensive line kept him clean in this game. 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.320 And speaking of the offensive line, the interior continues to 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.200 get the job done in pass protection. Ted Carris and 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.159 Eric Flower's combined for just three pressures allowed. That gives 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.680 that pairing a combined twenty three pressures allowed on eight 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.720 hundred and forty eight combined pass balking snaps this season. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.279 Neither guy has missed a rep. That's a two percent 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.400 pressure rate among your left guard and center. And also 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.440 Robert Hunt joined the party with just one hurry allowed 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.159 in the game. He also earned PFF's top run blocking 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:59.200 grade among all Dolphins offensive lineman. At the skill spots, 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.240 Davante par Er his tenth one hundred yard receiving game. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.120 That's six of his last eighteen games with over a 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.719 hundred yards. His four thousand, sixty one receiving yards surpassed 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.839 Jarvis Landry for eighth most in team history. And tight 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.560 end Mike Gasicki has eight touchdowns in his last seventeen games. 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.480 That's tied for fourth most among all NFL tight ends 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.359 since Week thirteen of last season, and his fifteen yards 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:25.600 per reception is best among all tight ends. Minimum fifteen receptions. 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.360 On the other side of the football, the snap counts 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.560 go as follows the defensive tackles. Christian Wilkins leads the 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.880 way with forty two snaps. That's good for eighty two 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.599 percent of the overall reps, and the Dolphins only played 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.960 fifty five snaps in this game, the lowest for the 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.960 defense this season. Good job by the offense converting on 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.600 half of their third downs eight for sixteen, but also 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.360 obviously to the Miami Dolphins defense for getting them off 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.520 the field, helping keep them fresh in this game and 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.839 attacking Cincinnati Bengals next week with hopefully a fresher defense. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.040 Ray Kuan Davis played thirty three snaps that's sixty and 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.400 Zach Heeler played twenty that's thirty six percent. Off the edge, 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.040 Emmanuel A Ball leads away with thirty nine snaps. Shaq 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.240 Lawson played thirty four, and Jason Strowbridge had four. In 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.200 this particular game. At linebacker, Kyle van Noy did not 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.120 leave the field, played all fifty five snaps. Jerome Baker, 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.040 after playing thirty percent last week, roughly, was up to 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.720 seventy eight percent this week with forty three snaps. His 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.480 roles ever changing and man he produces in so many 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.360 ways for the football team. Andrew Van Ginkle played twenty 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.120 nine snaps in the game. A Landon Roberts played eighteen, 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.520 and he also had three run stops on those eighteen 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.480 runs on thirteen rundowns, I should say so he was 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.920 contributing big time when he was out there against the run. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.240 Cornerback Byron Jones played fifty five snaps. So too that 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.400 Xavian Howard. Nick Needham was next with forty four reps 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.200 and the Dolphins played four. Safety's McCain played every rep. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.800 Eric Rohe played fifty two snaps, Brandon Jones had twenty three, 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.600 and Clayton Federland played one snap in the game. And 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.600 Xavier Howard matched his career high with the seventh interception 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.920 of the season. We talked about it on Sunday. He 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.160 joined Sam Madison, Dick Anderson, and Jake Scott as the 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.080 only players in team history with multiple seven intercept and 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.880 seasons with the Miami Dolphins. They also tried exaviing Howard 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.920 in this game ten times. He allowed three completions thirty 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.480 seven yards, had an interception to pass break up, and 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.960 a passer rating of two point nine in the game, 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.040 Howard also made three tackles and one run stop. Those 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.360 are tackles within two yards of the line of scrimmage. 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.440 His passer rating against this season is just fifty point three. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.240 That's best among cornerbacks with at least fifty targets this 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:27.360 year per PFF. Nick Needum gets his first interception of 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.720 the season, three of his career. He also made five tackles, 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.559 with two checking in his run stops. Safety Eric Row 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.000 allowed just three yards receiving in the game, and all 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.520 three of his tackles came on run plays within two 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.880 yards of the l os. That was our run stops. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.560 Bobby McCain pretty much had zeros across the board because 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.760 he was good in coverage back there didn't target him. 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.640 He also didn't come up and make any tackles because 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.240 the Dolphins were so stout upfront, Like we talked about, 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.800 fifteen of twenty three run plays going for three yards 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.440 or less, helping Miami t off on those second down 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.480 and third down and long. Linebacker Jerome Baker had two 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.280 pressures and a half sack. Three of his five tackles 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.040 were run stops. He also allowed just thirteen yards receiving 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.280 on five pass targets. We saw that play out into 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.240 the flat where he broke down and got the running 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.560 back down short of the sticks. Good work again by 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.320 Jerome Baker. And how about Emmanuel Ogba leads the team 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.680 again with five pressures in this game. He now has 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:17.920 forty six on the season that's tied for the fifth 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.560 most in the NFL. His eight sacks are tied for seventh, 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.760 and his twenty two run stops are tied for thirteen 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.480 among all edge defenders per PFF. Linebacker Kyle van Ney 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.080 had four quarterback pressures and a half sack. Three of 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.600 his five tackles were run stops. He landed Roberts we 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.400 talked about him thirteen rundowns and makes three tackles within 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.800 two yards of the line, including that fourth and one 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.200 stick in the backfield for a TfL and Ray Kuan 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.640 Damis and Christian Wilkins both had three run stops and 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.840 Zach Steeler had two. So the three of those guys 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.920 up front eight run stops combined helping Miami get get 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.160 off the field early and oft him in this game 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.680 against the Jets, and so offensively for your Miami Dolphins. First, 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.200 a couple of notes on just some general ideas and 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.920 and and plans. The Dolphins on the very first third 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.760 conversion of this game came out unbalanced. That's where you 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.800 move a tackle to the opposite side of the line 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.920 of scrimmage and use a tight end like in this 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.760 instance it was Adam Shaheen as the replacement left tackle 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.320 Austin Jackson comes over the right side. They convert that 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.240 for a first down. Like the way there's a little 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.840 bit of creativity there in short yardage, an area where 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.040 I'm sure Coach Flora's in the offensive staff would like 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.280 to get more conversions on those short down attempts. On 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.480 those short yards attempts, I should say, And they do 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.480 it here to start the game. Later in the game, 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.120 they have a first down pass to mc hollins, where 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.200 I like the way the structure of the play creates 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.040 space for mac hollins on a slant route. It's a 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.719 fly sweep that vacates a cornerback off the side of 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.640 the football they want to go to. Then you have 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.400 r p O inside which forces a linebacker down to 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.199 close on that play. R PO is all about putting 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.000 guys in conflict that's the sport of football. Putting players 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.560 in conflict. Your conflict player, make them go one direction 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.720 or the other, make him choose. Dolphins did that on 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.280 this play in the r p OH to get a 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.320 nice first down rip to mac Hollins. And just in general, 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.000 the RPO game was cranking early in this one. Pretty 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.240 much the only past calls they had in the first 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.280 drive was a lot of that r p O look. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.720 So you see the Dolphins getting better in that area, 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.199 growing in that area. Offensive line kind of learning the 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.800 ropes of that RPO game and putting it to use 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.760 here late in the season for the Dolphins. Some individual notes. 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.760 Austin Jackson. I thought he had some really good bounce 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.400 back reps early in the game, showing some good work 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.040 against pass protection. There was a bowl rush early on 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.520 where he kept his feet active through the contact. That's 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.320 a great sign to watch, the way he keeps those 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.080 feet moving and keeps himself in position to anchor and 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.160 recover against those power rushes. Had some just great reps 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.880 early on in past protection in general. Had a good 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.000 powerful punch on a few of those reps. I also 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.800 have picked up a play early in the game where 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.240 they passed off a stunt. On second down, he picks 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.240 up Quentin and Williams who crashes outside with an upfield 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.000 power move, and I thought they made a lot of 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.480 progress early in this game picking up those stunts compared 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.480 to last week in Denver and blocking Quinn and Williams. 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.120 This guy was dominant throughout the course of the game, 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.400 so Austin Jackson gets a nice rap on him. Robert Hunt, 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.199 I thought, on the other side, had some nice protection 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.320 plays as well. In pass Pro there's an incomplete third 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.840 down the Jets kind of running delayed blits. The linebacker 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.679 loops around from the inside and comes outside and he 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.200 sees it, finds it, picks it up, handles it perfectly, 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.959 and gets a nice pocket there. For Ryan Fitzpatrick, Eric 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.400 Flowers and Space I thought was good in this game play. 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.840 He pulled play side for a nice wipeout on a 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.080 Matt Breeder run for a first down. Early in the game. 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.080 He corners and seals well on those pulling plays, and 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.520 then later on a screen hits enough of a defensive 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.800 back to influence his his movement on the play and 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.960 then gets to the next level and looks for additional work. 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.880 He is consistent in that regard and staying on the 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.200 offensive line. Speaking of getting out in space, I just 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.920 love watching Ted Carriss on tape for this reason. Every 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.400 single week, a six yard screen passed DeAndrea Washington. He 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.520 stands up and throws the initial man out of the club. 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.320 And that's after you kind of invite the defensive the 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.440 defensive lineman upfield. You invite them upfield and then toss 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.200 him out of the way, and at best you hope 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:53.920 to get him a step or two off their track. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:55.960 But he throws the guy on the ground, then gets 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.760 upfield and buries number thirty to the safety at the 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.840 second level. And just the way he in general hits 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.240 double teams, the catch and climb. You catch onto that 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.520 first double team block climbed to the second level. It's 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.440 the same thing we see on screens. He's got a 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.720 strong upper half where he can really chip and turn 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.400 and toss, like on the tossing out of the club 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.720 from the previous play. I'm just picturing Ted. He talked 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.160 about his summer workouts in his garage. Maybe he's bailing hay. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.760 Is that a term? Hurling hay on a farm somewhere? 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.680 Just throwing hay up over the top of the rest 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.040 of a hay pile and gathering that upper body strength 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.040 and that kind of twist and turn strength. And I 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.640 even dropped a good old rick flair on one of 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.800 his blocks later in the game where he gets downfilled 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.960 on a screen pass. Speaking of DeAndre Washington, some nice shakes, 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.000 some nice wiggle in the open field. Thought he had 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.480 a good feel for leverage on some blocks on the 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.000 screen passes that he converted on. He catches back to 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.560 back passes and moves the chains as a pass catcher 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.160 on those. The very next play after those two catches, 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.440 picks up thirty two on a nice blitz pick up 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.280 and pass protection, and then he closes things up or 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.240 at least has a nice run in the fourth quarter 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.480 by sixteen yard rip with a little hot step to 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.320 get outside. You just see the explosion step there from 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:04.880 DeAndre Washington staying at the skill player spots. Mike Gasicky. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.400 We heard Josh Grizzard talk about brotherhood routes on the 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.160 podcast last week, talking about guys that do things to 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.440 set up other receivers to make plays. There was a 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.400 play earlier in the game where mac Hollins does it 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.760 where he kind of takes an outside release and slow 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.240 delays that release so the cornerback doesn't want to get 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.000 inside quickly before he breaks it off inside and it 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.480 creates space form that way. There's a nice play later 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.800 on in the game where Gasicki takes an inside release 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.560 and create some space on derm Smys third catch of 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.280 the game, and he talked postgame about running through contact 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.680 and and finding different ways to vary the releases. I 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.040 thought we we saw on this play as well, to 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.480 create space for his best friend Dirham Smith for a 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.720 reception on his corner route a third down and short conversion. 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.000 Earlier in the game, Jachee runs another great route, a 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.520 brotherhood route that pulls the corner down to the flat 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.320 and creates that space for Mike. A very nice anticipation 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.400 ripped there from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Gisicky, who shows strong 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.000 hands and plucks that thing for a first down. Did 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.080 the exact same thing a few drives later on I 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.840 touchdown catch beats him twice really on this play where 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.800 he runs through the route, initially gets on top of 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.280 him and then has to come over the top and 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.560 rebound the football off his helmet. Just excellent, excellent work 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.480 there from tight end Mike A. Sicki. And then on 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.360 a third and sixteen, he turns a linebacker around in 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.880 the middle of the field, nice little outside release, cross 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.680 his face and gets those hips open and gets himself open. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.960 But pressure got to Fitzpatrick just as he went to 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.000 through went to throw and they couldn't quite connect on 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.200 the play. So I thought Mike Sicki had a good game. 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.200 I thought Dion DeVante Parker had a huge game, just 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.440 catching multiple routes, square ins, slants open on a couple 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.920 of drag plays, back shoulders comebacks. They had double coverage 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.720 on a back shoulder pass the reception after the one 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.160 that was reviewed and stood that stood up. There, they 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.720 roll a safety over the top to Davante Parker, but 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.520 he still makes the catch. I talked about this on 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.760 the podcast on Sunday night or possibly last week, where 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.600 a number one receiver needs to be able to beat 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.720 double coverage and catch balls on third down and catch 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.160 passes in the red zone everyone knows the football is 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.240 coming to them. Thought Parker did that throughout the course 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.000 of this game. And a lot of these catches are 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.080 such tight window throws and he's not only catching the football, 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.760 he's ripping off big runs. Afterwards, he really just plagued 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.000 within himself. Well, they're a guy that does so well 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.360 in contested catches, and it was fun to watch a 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.880 big time step up game for Davante Parker. And we 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.440 later saw him hit a comeback route for a first 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.280 down on second and ten, once again with safety coverage 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:17.760 rolling over the top, so he has to find a 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:19.880 way back down because you're not going to get vertical 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.200 with that safety help. This is right after the Nick 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.920 needed interception, works back down the stem, catches it for 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:28.080 twenty five yards with pressure bearing down Fitzpatrick, who did 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.040 a great job to get the ball out, and Parker 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.040 had to uncover and win because at that point in 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.080 the play with a pressure, he was really the only 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.280 option in the play. He makes a big one and 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.840 then finally catching another back shoulder in the fourth that 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.320 helped Miami keep the clock moving with a ten point lead. 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.920 Just such a crucial element of this game, those back 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.680 shoulder throws and making those contested catches. They needed him 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.480 in this game, and I thought he stepped up really 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.520 big that way at receiver as well. Jachem Grant the 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.120 separation he created on a first down conversion that he 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.120 had in this game, just a hop step to kind 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.560 of create some space between he and the defender. And 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.880 it really shows you how much they feared that deep speed, 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.320 because once he kind of throttles down, they're kind of 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.040 thinking about the double moon and they take a couple 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.520 of steps back and get more depth. He can really 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.080 threaten those guys at the top of the stem and 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.680 snap that thing off. And I think there's some more 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.720 meat on the bone here. As far as Jachim in 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.120 the passing game, it looks like, you know, several times 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:17.840 he's created some separation in the game and just for 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.160 whatever reason, they haven't been able to connect on those. 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:24.000 But there's so many instances, some isolation opportunities where he's 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.080 so far behind the defender that the defender has to 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.240 get on his tail and get up field. And then 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.400 you can either throw the deep ball, throw the vertical ball, 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:33.280 go back shoulder intentionally under throw it and you might 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.000 get a defensive pass interference like the Dolphins did in 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:37.680 this game late in the fourth quarter to really help 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.280 them put it away with the Adam Shaheen touchdown reception. 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.160 So just offensively and as a team as a whole. 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.040 I think there are so many reps from these young 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.560 guys you're seeing every game that are encouraging, Like it's 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.760 a good feet from the offensive line, good hand placement, 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.960 good blitz pick up by running backs and stuff like that, 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.560 good routes from the receivers working hard for each other 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.720 to get each other open. I just I think there's 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.320 a good opportunity here for a lot of these guys. 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.359 And that's that's the vision, right You don't draft player 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.399 for the for their first year production at all. You 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.440 draft players to develop and grow them, like we saw 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.880 with Devanta Parker and Mike Gasiki now in year three 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.520 and your six respectively. For those two players, they developed 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.000 and grew here. I think the other guys on this 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:13.960 team can as well. Let's go ahead and turn this 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.280 over to the defensive side of the film a little 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.560 more enjoyable watch on defense. Three points allowed, ten first downs, 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.640 two hundred and sixty yards, the second rank scoring defense, 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.199 the first ranked third down defense, and I really enjoyed 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.080 watching this Dolphins all twenty two from the three points 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.159 allowed against the New York Jets, now three points in 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.320 two games this season against Gang green and first off 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.040 the block. The very first play of the game, ray 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.919 Kwon Davis gets immediate knocked back and bubble and he 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.359 did this pretty much consistently throughout the game. Thought he 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.880 set good picks as a pass rusher and freeing guys 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:46.560 up to loop inside and make plays that way. He 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:50.080 also got some penetration himself. Just consistent disruption from ray 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.560 Kwon Davis. Same thing was true of Zach Seiler. I 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.760 mean early on the Jets pull the tackle and try 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.600 to seal him with a tight end and he just 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.320 takes him back into the lap of a running back 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.399 and then fort end up from there. Ray Kawon and 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.840 Van Ginkle a lot of times, I just love seeing 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.520 defensive lineman get that knocked back and disrupting the play 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.120 in some form or fashion. But he was getting off 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.960 blocks and making plays in this game. More good stuff 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.440 from the man with a new contract. He later comes 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.800 back and disrupts the pocket from the three technique by 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:20.200 working upfield, splits the garden tackle. The very next play, 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.560 he walks the guard back in to the running back 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.080 and Van Noi closes the play down on the backside. 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.320 The first play of the second half, he splits the 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.520 double team and overpowers the tackle for a tackle a 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.400 stop right at the line. It's really impressive how many 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:35.480 times he flashed in this game. Was a four or 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.639 five there with just twenty snaps. Big impact plays again 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.480 from Zach Seeler. Christian Wilkins had a very good game 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.160 as well. Hell double teams really well throughout the course 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.119 of the game. I thought, you watch the way he 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.600 has such a strong base and low center of gravity 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:52.040 because of that flexibility he offers. He's stout and flexible 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.399 with a really nice burst off the snap, and that 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.879 kind of allows him to make to win immediately off 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.280 the snap for some of those impact plays. He teamed 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.040 up with the land and Roberts Fray run stuff and 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.120 the third quarter doing just this. He also plays rundowns 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.560 to the backside of the formation, chasing him across the 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.840 formation by following the block to the football then disengaging. 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.360 He does this pretty regularly too. I thought he did 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.280 that well on a certain solo tackle in the third 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.280 quarter up against Frank Gore and then Emmanuel Ogba. This 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.080 guy makes impacts every single week, and early in the 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.560 game he takes the right tackle right into Donald's lap 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.919 on third and six, it draws a hold and the 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.080 start of the next series he draws a tight end 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.920 and works over the block, comes back inside to outside 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.040 and gets a run stuff as well. He'll hear his 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:33.760 name throughout the course of some of these big plays 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.439 in this podcast. I thought Shaq Lawson had control of 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.040 the edge throughout the course of the game, immovable at times. 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.800 I thought Miami had really good edge run defense throughout 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.160 the course of this game from Lawson, from Van Nou, 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:48.040 Van Ginkel, and Emmanuel Ogba as well. Thought Jerome Baker 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.919 again played well in space on routes, both in the 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:52.359 hook or the flat. Whether he's in the middle of 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.320 the field or out wide, he finds a way to 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.720 get in that hip pocket and either prevent the catch 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.399 or get the the past catcher down quickly after he 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.160 makes the three set option. I thought you really saw 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.679 his ability to smoothly transition in this game. Open up, drop, 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.919 come forward. It's a nice pairing with his blitz and capabilities. 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:10.280 And we saw the speed again later in the game 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:12.560 when he stopped Ty Johnson in the open field on 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.600 a flare route where he just follows him all the 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:16.439 way across the formation to the wide side of the 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.600 field and gets him down short of the sticks on 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.920 third down. Jerome Baker Speed pays dividends often and Kyle 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:23.919 Van Noy stopped me. If you've heard this before, like 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.920 you've heard about Baker Speed. I just love watching Kyle 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:28.880 Van Nooy do his job down in and down out. 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.600 Hundred percent Snaptaker. In this game, there's a first and 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.240 ten and the Jets are at the Dolphins plus eighteen 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:36.639 yard line and they pull the backside guard as the 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.400 tight end who's kind of up over Van Noy's inside shoulder. 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.240 He tries to get to the second level for a 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.719 reach block on the land and Roberts and get across 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.280 his face, and Van Noy sees the guard come across 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:49.560 the formation and just with absolute force, stops him right 0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:51.760 in his tracks. It forces the running back to cut 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.280 up inside because otherwise he has to bubble deep in 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.639 the backfield, and then you get pursuit there and it 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:58.399 allows a gap to open up for your land and 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:02.000 Roberts who comes in there and occupies it, knifeing inside 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:03.960 and makes a tackle for a one yard game. It's 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:07.560 just good football all around from Vanoy, Roberts, Ray Kuan 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:10.040 Davis was there his zac seeler Jerome Baker I put 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:13.960 all at the party fifty five team football making big 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:17.120 plays for this Dolphins defense. Vannoy also had a pass 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:19.359 rush where he was able to get under the pads 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:21.680 of the tackle and just power his way to the quarterback. 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:24.120 It forced Donald to escape the pocket, as he did 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:26.520 throughout the course of this game with good schemed up 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.280 pressure and on his half sack for van Noy, he 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.920 gets there with ray Kuan Davis because both ray Kwon 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:34.240 and aug Bas set nice little picks for him to 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:36.399 work up field and then loop over the top and 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:38.960 come inside on the quarterback. Both he and ray Kwan 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:41.720 greet each other at Donald. Then a few plays later 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.080 on the fourth and one stop, that was where Roberts 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.359 just squares up in the hole with Frank Gore exactly 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:48.840 on just exactly squares him up how you want to 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.560 do it. An explosive game changing play and the first 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.399 player the next series. He then beats a blitz from 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:55.399 the running back to pick up a half sack along 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:57.800 with Jerome Baker in the Jets backfield as well, staying 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.600 at linebacker Andrew Van Ginkl I Meat out about the 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:02.720 play where he tripped up Frank Gore, and I mean 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:05.040 the Gangster is basically in what you would look at 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.760 as like a simulated Oklahoma drill. You've got a guard 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.000 pulling with a running back into so he has to 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:12.080 get around that block and find a way to get 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:14.520 to the running back, and he undercuts that block and 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:16.840 sells out to just get a piece of Gore's ankle, 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:19.800 who's basically full throttle for that gap because if he 0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:21.600 hits it hard, there's a one on one chance there 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.240 with he and Bobby McCain, who's been terrific on those 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:26.760 open field tackles at the second level when backs break 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.800 through this season we saw many many times in previous games. 0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:31.919 But Van Gigel makes it irrelevant and just gets him 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.439 down an awesome, awesome play. And then shortly after that 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:36.600 he uses the same dip and angle to kind of 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:38.840 get around that corner for a shot at a sack, 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.160 but the tackle snatches the inside of that collar bone 0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:42.760 on the front side of the jersey and it's an 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.200 easy holding call for the official ten yards push him back. 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:47.919 Speaking of Bobby the open field tackling, he also just 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:50.639 caps off so much stuff deep for opposing offenses like 0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:52.680 he did in this game, and it forces Donald to 0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:55.080 kind of go through multiple looks and hold the football 0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:57.280 for a little bit. It's been such a consistent element 0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.080 of this team this year, with him playing a lot 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.200 of middle of the field stuff and playing the deep 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:03.840 heart of the field. He's so consistent there in that tackling. 0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:06.360 It's been fun to watch his transition to that safety role. 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.320 Byron Jones Xavian Howard, I just I've got so many 0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:11.960 notes around these guys. They're so good. I talked about 0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:15.560 them last week mirroring and running takeoff routes upfield with receivers. 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:17.200 Saw the same thing here on a couple of deep 0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:21.280 incomplete shots first intended for Brashad Perriman on Jones. They're 0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:23.240 just both in the hip pockets of their guys on 0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:24.919 either side of the field. It looks like it's a 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:27.639 mirror while they're in mirror coverage. They're trying to run 0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:30.840 the exact same route as the receiver, and you see 0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:33.800 x undercut this little curl route and it really just 0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:36.440 shows you how he's able to make so many big plays. 0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:40.359 He's so often positions himself in between the quarterback and 0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:43.240 the wide receiver at the catchpoint. It's just it's uncanny 0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:45.520 how often that happens. And the way these two guys 0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.720 work with their safety help is just a lot of 0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:50.560 fun to watch. It's like watching foodsball. Almost one one 0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:52.840 guy moves, they all move. There's a third and seven 0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:54.919 in completion where they try to get Xavian in a 0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:57.320 bit of conflict where they run Arounte underneath him and 0:24:57.359 --> 0:24:59.199 over the top of him, and he just carries it 0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:01.520 long enough until Eric Rowe comes over and closes the 0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:03.520 thing off, and by the time the football gets there, 0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:05.720 they're both in good shape up high and down low. 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:08.440 There's a third and four takeoff route with Denzel Mims 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.240 where xaviing Howard'll talk about him individually here a little 0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:14.639 bit where he just pins Mims to the sideline and 0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:17.400 Donald braces contain and tries to get him coming back 0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:19.760 down the sideline, but x is right there to force 0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:21.639 him out at the catchpoint, push him out of bounds. 0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:24.360 Talking about four to five seconds there a blanket coverage. 0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:27.800 It's just it's crazy how how much how long he 0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:30.439 can cover four and and have good coverage for extended 0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:32.600 periods of time When these quarterbacks break the pocket. On 0:25:32.640 --> 0:25:34.679 the next drive, they try and over route with him 0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:38.399 giving outside leverage, which is free inside access for the receiver, 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:41.159 and he undercuts the route. And if this pass is flat, 0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.199 it's got a good chance to get his hands on it. 0:25:43.240 --> 0:25:45.200 But Donald does a good job on this particular play 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:46.919 to put it high in a way. It's just in 0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:49.359 a tough spot so Perriman can't quite get to it. 0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:52.520 It creates both exaviing and Howard doing this creates both 0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:55.560 a small window and a chance for a game changing play. 0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:58.239 And it's like Byron Jones said, this freaking guy he 0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:01.200 gets his hands on the takeoff route later in the game, 0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:03.680 and it's the exact same thing. He creates a small window, 0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:06.000 and if the ball is off by just a little bit, 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:08.320 he's in position to get his hands on the football. 0:26:08.480 --> 0:26:10.359 And this time he's got it. But you watch the 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:13.320 slow mo replay, Perriman actually pokes out of x his 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.359 hands when he lifts his hands up to try to 0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:17.640 catch the ball. Otherwise he might have made the catch 0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:19.800 on that one too. Then you see McCain come over 0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:21.520 and just clean it up with a perfect hit for 0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:24.000 a good measure. Talking about that communication, and timing between 0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:27.760 the cornerback and safety. Play Later in the game, x 0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.560 literally stacks Mims on a deep ball like a receiver 0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:32.480 were due to a cornerback runs the route and gets 0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:34.160 on top and stacks him so he can't get over 0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:36.320 the top to make the play, and so all Men's 0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:39.159 can do to prevent another possible interception is jump on 0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:41.280 his back and get that O p I. Then he 0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:43.359 punches one out where it looks like pairman might catch 0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:46.160 a forty four yard touchdown on a post. And then 0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:48.919 finally he finishes off this time by doing the exact 0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:52.200 same thing, getting undercut on a little flat throw underneath 0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:55.280 for his seven interception. He puts himself in possession four 0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:57.280 or five times throughout the course of this game and 0:26:57.320 --> 0:26:59.399 just finally got one paid off there at the end. 0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:01.480 But this was one of my favorite cornerback tapes I've 0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:04.359 watched in quite some time. He played really really good 0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:07.240 in this game, and just the secondary in general had 0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:09.920 so many plays where everything was just blanketed there was 0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:12.639 nowhere to go Byron Jones had nice disruption on a 0:27:12.680 --> 0:27:15.160 pair of over routes. Then there was that twenty seven 0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:17.320 yard completion to Perriman where I thought he was in 0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:20.320 good shape. Did most everything right on that play was 0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:22.200 in the hip pocket of the receiver gets his head 0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:24.679 around early. You see him snap early on the tape, 0:27:24.840 --> 0:27:26.879 but the ball is a little bit underthrown impairman is 0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:29.320 able to adjust, and that's something Byron has talked about 0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:31.280 working on locate in the football a lot this year, 0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:32.800 and I think he shows you a little bit of 0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.399 that growth on that play getting his head around so quickly. 0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:37.400 Nick need Um got a big interception in this game, 0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:40.280 a great example of just plastering downfield. The quarterback breaks 0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:42.880 the pocket and need Him finds a guy walls him off, 0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:45.480 and Donald throws one direction. The receiver breaks the other 0:27:45.680 --> 0:27:47.399 and need Him's right there to find the football and 0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:50.320 collect for his first pick of the year. Very nice play. Finally, 0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:52.639 Brandon Jones the very first drive of the game. We 0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:55.240 talked about this on the Sunday podcast because I thought 0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:57.200 it was such a good example of how this team 0:27:57.200 --> 0:27:59.159 makes plays and finds different guys to make plays and 0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:02.440 gets pressure in different ways. On this play, again, Dolphins 0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:05.040 just blanket every option in the second dary with guys 0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:07.880 sitting on routes while the pressure arrives and the offensive 0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:10.080 line kind of fans out to block the Dolphins wide 0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:13.040 rush going upfield, and from zero to sixty in a 0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:15.800 flash comes Brandon Jones. You just you can't really tell 0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:17.960 that he's coming because he's just kind of standing off 0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:20.960 the football and not showing pressure in that a gap. 0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:23.240 But once the ball is snapped like a bullet, he's 0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:25.200 out of that stands and squares up a shot on 0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:28.159 the quarterback. And also Emmanuel Ogball comes clean splitting the 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:31.119 garden tackle on that play too, So just more of 0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:33.280 the same man Like Flora said, Josh Boy doesn't get 0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:36.639 enough credit. Great called game, good mix of everything fronts 0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:38.920 and coverage wise, and doesn't hurt when you get great 0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:42.240 play from those cornerbacks, that secondary communications on top of things, 0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:45.240 McCain and Road doing their work consistently, Guys like Kyle 0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:48.160 van noymaking plays and and doing his assignment play in 0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:51.880 and play out, not leaving the field, multiple contributing linebackers 0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:54.400 and defensive lineman. It's just been fun to watch this 0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:56.320 defense kind of come together and grow and they're playing 0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:58.200 good football and we'll see if they can continue it 0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:00.960 next week against the Bengals and into Thecember and finished 0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:02.720 off the season strong that way as well. All right, 0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.800 let's go ahead and get two coordinators and assistant coaches 0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:09.400 media from Tuesday here December the first, the first episode 0:29:09.400 --> 0:29:11.800 of December on Drivetime. Let's go ahead and start with 0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:15.240 Dolphins defensive coordinator Josh Boyer, who first was asked about 0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:17.720 what is it the MIxS exaving Howard the cornerback that 0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:21.880 he is. I would say that, uh, he's really put 0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:27.200 in uh you know, I would say, consistently some good 0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:32.600 all around performances from um a run game standpoint, a 0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:36.200 past game standpoint, as far as his technique at the 0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:40.840 line of scrimmage, his leverage and past coverage, his his 0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.800 technique at the top of the route. I would say, 0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:46.800 in the run game, um, you know, making sure that 0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:50.200 he leverages the ball, being able to crack replace, I mean, 0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:53.840 really becoming a complete corner um, you know, and doing 0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:56.920 it very consistently for for a long period of time. 0:29:57.320 --> 0:30:00.440 And it's getting better and he's working hard at it. 0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:03.600 That's a credit to him. Um, you know, and I 0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:06.840 don't know our guys in the secondary, uh you know, 0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:10.240 Charles Burke's and g A. You know that that they 0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:15.600 work you know, extensively with those guys and Xaviens put 0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:18.520 in a lot of work and you know, and I 0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:20.959 think the good thing about Axavian he knows, you know, 0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:23.600 it's a week to week league, so he's got to 0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:25.920 put in that work each week and he's striving for 0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:28.960 improvement and uh, you know, it's really a credit to 0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:32.040 him and his work at that. Uh. I mean, we're 0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:35.360 seeing strides on a weekend and week out basis. And 0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:37.560 coach next answered a question about the growth of so 0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:39.960 many young players and what makes this team full of 0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:42.360 all these young players, whether it's Zach Seeler, Nick Needham, 0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:44.720 Brandon Jones, Ray Kwon Davis, all these young players in 0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:47.600 the defense making strides. What makes this young defense so 0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:50.240 hungry and able to improve that the course of the season. 0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:54.040 I'd say the credit to them and their work ethic, um, 0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:57.040 you know, and in their consistency of coming in and 0:30:57.120 --> 0:31:03.120 striving to be better. Um you know. Um that again, 0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:04.680 And I mean we preach this, and I know it 0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:07.440 sounds like a broken record. Is like things, they don't 0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:10.040 stay the same. I mean, you you either get better 0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:12.600 or you get worse. And you know, I mean you 0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:14.360 may hit some bumps in the road. But at the 0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:18.280 end of the day, the foundation, you know, it's it's 0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:21.400 like anything else in life. Uh, you know, it's your 0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:24.239 profession as your craft. If if you don't practice it, 0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:27.120 you don't work at it, your skill sets will diminish. 0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:29.920 And UM, I would say, you know a lot of 0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:31.960 our guys they put in, you know, a lot of 0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:34.840 extra work or there's a lot of guys you know, 0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:39.360 um that maybe not playing, but you know you can 0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:42.880 see the improvement in practice, and um, you know, and 0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:46.800 we really push out with everybody. Um, you know, and 0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:48.880 I would I would say it's the same for the coaches. 0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:50.640 You know, we we try to get better from week 0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:52.880 to week. And like I said, sometimes you have bumps 0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:55.240 on the road here and there, but I think it's 0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:59.800 the process of constantly striving for improvement. Let's go ahead 0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:02.520 and here next from coach Danny craftsman of the Special Teams, 0:32:02.520 --> 0:32:04.800 and this group just gets better every single week. There 0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:07.040 ranked one and two across so many metrics on so 0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:08.720 many different sites or whatever you want to call it. 0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:11.520 Special teams getting the job done. One area is winning 0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:14.800 the kickoff coverage. I asked coach how the decisions to 0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:17.800 kick off consistently short of the goal on force returns 0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:20.560 and get those tackles down inside the twenty five yard line, 0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:23.080 and that confidence to win the hidden yards battle. Here's 0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:25.040 coach on that. You know, we look at on a 0:32:25.080 --> 0:32:28.240 week to week, came to game basis, based on our opponent, 0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:31.800 based on other situations once we truly get into the game. 0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:35.240 But we feel good about Jason, We feel good about 0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:37.960 the coverage, guys. So there's a lot of things that 0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:40.680 go into it, but you know, to be able to 0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:46.200 have some of that ability to maybe for lack of 0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:50.120 a better term, dictate, Uh, what's going on is something 0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:52.120 that that flow talks about and I'm sure you guys 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:54.760 have heard it from him time and time again. Uh, 0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:57.760 but that's an advantage we try and take advantage of. 0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:00.400 It was short and sweet with Dolphins offensive weren't our 0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:02.920 Chang geely who answered a question about to a pre 0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:04.840 and post game and his feelings about not being able 0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:07.080 to play on Sunday in the game against the Jets. 0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:11.120 I think we kind of all realized how competitive he 0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:16.360 is and um, you know, I didn't really get a 0:33:16.440 --> 0:33:20.120 chance to talk to him, uh, you know after the 0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:24.240 game about how he felt, but just knowing him. I 0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:30.960 know it really Uh they wanted to play so uh. 0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:34.520 I don't know uh til we get you know, back 0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:39.239 in the office lands d uh exactly what the status is. 0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:43.480 But you know, I know he's he's working hard to 0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:46.080 get ready. He's tough guy. Let's keep it rolling. Here 0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:49.200 with Dolphins running backs coach Eric Studisville, who I asked 0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:52.120 a question about DeAndre Washington his ability to get himself 0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:54.400 into a position where he was kind of lead back 0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:56.800 in that fourth quarter, getting those first downs and accending 0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:59.760 drives and catching passes. Here's coach students Fille on DeAndre 0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:02.320 washing Inton's worth at work ethic. Easy for me to 0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:04.840 say since he arrived. Well, I think there's a couple 0:34:04.880 --> 0:34:08.760 of things that are that are worth noting regarding DeAndre. 0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:12.120 I think the first one is this is a passionate 0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:16.840 guy who prepares. He came in to learn this offense. 0:34:16.880 --> 0:34:20.080 He did a great job of working. That's that's what 0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:23.040 you see manifested in his performance was the amount of 0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:25.680 work and time and effort that he put in to 0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:28.120 give himself a chance to go out there. And then, 0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.240 as all all players, I think doing coaches as well, 0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:33.720 we just want an opportunity to showcase what we can do, 0:34:34.160 --> 0:34:36.040 and he was waiting for that time and he was 0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:39.840 prepared for that opportunity when it came forward. And uh, 0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:43.000 I think that's a it's a credit to him and 0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:47.640 who he is, his work ethic, his preparation um and 0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:51.400 truly his patients for his time and opportunity that he 0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:52.920 was ready for it when it came up. Let's go 0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:55.399 ahead and here from coach Marshall along the offensive line, 0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:58.239 who talked about the growth and fundamentals and development of 0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:00.480 young offensive line and how toy the same for this 0:35:00.520 --> 0:35:02.320 Dolphins team for young guys as it is for the 0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:05.480 veterans in that development. As we as we do every 0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:08.719 week up front, you know, win loser draw. The fundamental 0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:12.520 part of of playing in the National Football League is 0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:18.440 utmost uh, especially where especially at the tackle position. You know, 0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:21.440 some guys are talented enough inside to kind of do 0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:23.520 what they need to do to get the job done. 0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:27.759 But out there, when you're going every week against very 0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:31.920 very you know, the top of the line rushers to 0:35:31.920 --> 0:35:36.480 to to that side, it's fundamentals, it's bend in your knees. 0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:40.319 It's the same same scenario every week. And how we 0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:43.080 get get those done, and that's that's with Austin is 0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:47.120 no different than than Rob or you know Eric Flowers 0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:49.120 for that matter. You know the young players that we 0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:52.800 have keep getting keep doing the fundamental thing, learning something 0:35:52.840 --> 0:35:56.840 new every week. Uh you know, am I in balance? 0:35:57.400 --> 0:35:59.839 You know as my my my hands and the rights 0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:03.920 each and every week, my playing going in every week 0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:09.000 against Pacific rushers, all that is some work on every 0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:11.840 single week. Let's go ahead and hear from Dolphins receivers 0:36:11.880 --> 0:36:15.040 coach Josh Grizzard who talked about Devanta Parker. I had 0:36:15.040 --> 0:36:18.600 a question for coach about DeVante's demeanor and temperament. But 0:36:18.680 --> 0:36:20.720 first we're gonna start off with the idea of playing 0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:23.640 man coverage and getting matchups in that man scheme for 0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:27.239 Devanta Parker. Here's coach Grizard on when teams do go 0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:30.680 man coverage against Dvante, they like that matchup. Dude, we 0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:34.359 like that matchup from week to week. Get changes on. 0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:36.120 Is it gonna be a man scheme, Is it gonna 0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:37.960 be a press man scheme? Is it gonna be a 0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:41.480 zone scheme where you gotta find the devoted area? But yeah, 0:36:41.560 --> 0:36:43.520 we we we loved him matched up when we got 0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:44.960 all the confidence in the world in him. It was 0:36:44.960 --> 0:36:47.719 great to see that we not had a big game 0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:50.200 on on Sunday, but that's always a matchup that we're 0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:52.360 gonna try to take advantage. And I believe I played 0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:54.880 the sound for you guys on the Sunday Recap podcast 0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:57.840 where Mike Kasiki talked about him going crazy after a 0:36:57.880 --> 0:37:00.000 catch and DeVante just kind of shaking the head, quiet 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:02.360 lean doing his thing. I wanted to ask Coach Gizzard 0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:05.200 about that temperament for Parker and the juice it gives 0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:06.319 to the rest of the team when he has that 0:37:06.360 --> 0:37:09.839 kind of quiet confidence. Here's Coach on Parker's temperament. I 0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:12.160 think with the headshaking, all that is what you get. 0:37:12.200 --> 0:37:14.799 I mean, he doesn't he doesn't say a ton but um. 0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.160 When he does say something and invoices his opinion, you 0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:21.200 know that it's coming from um, something he truly believes in. 0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:25.520 So whatever his reaction to having this success and going 0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:27.279 out there and just shaking his head and having it 0:37:27.320 --> 0:37:29.960 again the next play is what we're looking for. And 0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:32.560 I think that when guys see that kind of reaction 0:37:32.640 --> 0:37:34.879 from him, it gives juice to the rest of the unit. 0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:36.960 It could be the running backs, tight ends, and then 0:37:37.040 --> 0:37:38.560 I think the old line season. I mean they're in 0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:41.720 they're protecting for um, you know, whoever's throwing it to 0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:44.799 get him the wall. So it's a collective effort and 0:37:44.920 --> 0:37:47.560 they see it and sparks some juice for the next play. 0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:49.200 And let's go ahead and finish this thing up with 0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:51.480 one of my favorite coaches to talk to, tight ends coach, 0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:53.640 George Gadzi, and we'll go ahead and get an answer 0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:57.080 from him here on the growth of Mike ga Sicky. 0:37:57.200 --> 0:37:59.560 I talked about this again on the Sunday podcast with 0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:02.520 Mike working on varying his releases and playing through contact 0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:04.960 and and the growth occurs week to week because of 0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:08.239 the different variables each opponent offers. Here's George Garcia on 0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:10.680 what he's seen in the growth from Mike asiki and 0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:13.520 the ability to vary those releases against different opponents and 0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:18.520 different coverages. Yeah, that's uh, the releases. I think that's 0:38:18.560 --> 0:38:22.880 always evolving as a route runner um because you go 0:38:22.920 --> 0:38:26.120 against different guys, you go against or well you're presented 0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:28.680 a defensive linemen to get around when you're attached or 0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:31.680 inline when you're in the slot. It may be a 0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:35.920 different player than a corner outside playing you so uh. 0:38:35.960 --> 0:38:38.360 And then obviously the safeties are a little bit more physical, 0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:42.960 um when when matching the tight end. So all those 0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:45.640 change based on the person you're going against. UM. That's 0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:49.560 what's so fun about this is each week there's new variables, UM, 0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:53.359 and it's a challenge. So putting those guys in those 0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:56.480 positions during the week, making sure that they execute the 0:38:56.520 --> 0:38:59.640 techniques that we think will help them.
