But if you're like me, 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.720 well you probably need an oxygen mask after that game. 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.000 Who and some smelling salts because that was a crazy one. 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.560 Will do the five takeaways from that game. We'll examine 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.199 the key moments. We'll talk about the play before the play, 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.680 the teaching tape as well. We'll hear from the winning coach, 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.000 and oh man, that quarterback will hear from him as well, 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.000 and much much more from the Baptist Health studios inside 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:55.880 the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drive Time Podcast. 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:01.160 Where do we even begin? And what a game? Man, 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.440 what a football game? Watching that thing? I just kept saying, 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.440 and Big Seth was too. These are two really really 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.119 good football teams. Man. We'll see those guys again in December. 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.160 But this one was one that when things got late, 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.000 you began to feel like, man, we have to find 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.160 a way to get this going, to get this victory. 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.799 And that's exactly what happened. Like real talk, we were 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.080 over in the radio booth that we do the post 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.200 game show from on that final series of plays and 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.840 on the bill's penultimate drive, and when we got the 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.800 fourth down stop, we all celebrated like the game was over. 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.799 But it was not, obviously, and actually, if you look 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.959 at the win probability stats, even after the holding call 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.480 on Emmanuel Ogba and what a game he had, By 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.840 the way, the Buffalo Bills win probability and that last 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.800 part of that drive before the clock right now on 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.800 them was seventy eight point four percent according to my 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.880 Yahoo Sports app. So they were really driving to kick 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:57.919 that game winning field goal and break our hearts for 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:03.160 one loss didn't happen. The Dolphins played such disciplined defense. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:04.800 We'll get to that and one of the takeaways here 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.720 in just one second, but the Dolphins just kept coming 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.520 back and coming back and making place, and that box 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.280 score was an absolutely wild one. Let's actually go ahead 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:14.600 and get to it before we get to the five 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.920 takeaways here on the Sunday night Flagship Recap edition of 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.639 the Drivetime podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.240 by Auto Nation. The Bills have thirty one first downs, 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.960 Miami has fifteen. The Bills are eleven for eighteen on 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.360 third down Miami three for eight. Buffalo also converted two 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.440 of their three fourth down attempts. Buffalo had four hundred 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.920 nineties seven total yards, Miami had two twelve Buffalo three 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.320 two through the air, one fifteen on the ground, Miami 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.720 one seventy one through the air and forty one on 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.760 the ground. But here's where it gets you. Ninety total 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.920 plays for Buffalo to just thirty nine for Miami. That's 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:53.480 a crazy, absolutely crazy disparity and plays ran. The Dolphins 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.680 had no turnovers, so two of the three games this 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.840 year haven't turned the football over. The Bills have the 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.040 one on the strips by Javon holland the Dolphins also 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.120 get four sacks of Josh Allen. The Dolphins quarterbacks are 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.600 sacked just twice one for two, one for Teddy Bridgewater, 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.800 and the Dolphins have four penalties for twenty yards Buffalo 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.600 seven for fifty two. And Buffalo possessed the ball for 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.160 over forty minutes forty minutes and forty seconds compared to 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:23.080 Miami's nineteen twenty of time of possession in this game. Wow, 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.640 what a game. Takeaway Number one is that this team 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.560 we already know about the talent they have on offense 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.360 and defense, but how about the resolve and the makeup 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.160 of this football team. Let's start this segment by hearing 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.000 from head coach Mike McDaniel on just that the resolve 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.720 of this Dolphins football team. Again, people take me away 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:46.679 too literal. I don't like these these shock endings, but UM, 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.640 you know, I'm just really really happy for the team 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.880 because this is this much I do know. UM, teams 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:58.080 win football games, and if you're going to have UM 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.080 success over the long haul, you have to have confidence 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.159 that you know, whoever, whatever phase can win a football 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.960 game for you can go ahead and do that. UM. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:13.000 And it takes the collection. Every play is almost equally 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.520 as important as the next. So to see UM guys 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.159 persevere UM in a tough situation in a game that 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.960 they took very serious. UM. I knew that we're going 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.200 to get our best effort from everybody. UM. And then 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:31.320 to be able to finish the game UM with two 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.560 unbelievable efforts by the by the defense. UM. I I 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.720 think I couldn't have written a better script UM for 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.200 what we're trying to do. UM. It's a it's an 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.720 exciting day for the team. UM, and we're you know, 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.720 we've had three opportunities and we've you know, we've won 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:55.080 those three. So UM that's also strong and perspective for us, 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.920 because UH, three wins doesn't do anything. At the end 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.159 of the season, you need a couple more than that. So, um, 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.320 but right now, very proud of the guys. We've got 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.280 a short week, so um we can enjoy it for 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.200 um maybe a maybe a half hour and then uh, 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.920 you know, it's on to the next like it's time 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.919 possessions yards, first down. So you guys were underdogs and 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.240 all that today. Can you talk about what you learned 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:20.840 about the team, especially at the end of the game 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.880 when they had the punt situation? Would you would you 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.840 learn about the way they held their heads high and 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.120 we're able to overcome that. Yeah, I mean, I think 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.960 we have a lot of team. It was. I learned 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.359 a lot about the resolve. You don't know until you 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.640 have it happened, and um, you know the the team 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.720 got a lot of confidence in the offense last week. UM. 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.920 So when you know you worry that when um, when 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.200 push comes to shove and you're trying to finish the game, 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.360 you know that you can if you get a first down, 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.240 the game's over and you can't get a yard, you 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:58.119 worry about the team's resolve. Um, you know, but I 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.560 I see much better than I hear. I was hoping 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.920 but UM to see the way they came back with 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:10.040 confidence and played attacking football. Um, I learned, uh what 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.240 I would hope to learn. You never know until you're 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.000 in those situations. But it was I was very happy 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.920 with with the entire team and how they how they 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.720 pressed forward, because even even special teams, you know, we 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.600 have an unfortunate situation. We're trying to get some yards 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.000 at the end of the game too to at least 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.320 worst case scenario, punt the ball um from our own 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.080 back end line and you know we have something that 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.480 that doesn't totally go our way, but we don't win 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.840 that game, um if we don't completely flip flip the 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.480 field um on a punt previous and that half. So 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.560 UM there it's a It's a great, great experience for guys. 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.240 I'm happy that they were able to um come out 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.120 with the win because they definitely did everything in their 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.880 power to get that done. So they you have head 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.280 coach Mike McDaniel on just how proud he is and 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.360 the resolve of this football team. And when the game started, 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.320 I thought, look, here's some mistakes. I'm either gonna have 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.800 to mention how they were the difference in a loss 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.240 or positively, I'm going to get to use them to 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.640 prove this team's resolve. And the ladder is exactly what happened, 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.000 because early in this game, you get a personal foul 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.840 on a third downlod Xavian Howard to extend to drive. 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.320 We lose a guy in coverage on a fourth down 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.000 play that winds up a touchdown down inside the five 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.360 yard line. There's a false start to begin the game 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.840 for the offense. On the very next play, we drop 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.480 a pass on fairs and fifteen that looked like at 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.520 least a twenty yard completion. We then get beaten pass 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.240 pro and TWA gets hit on his arm on a 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.920 second and two and can't complete that and why eventually 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.880 have to punt after a third down failed failed conversion 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.480 as well, But then you had the bounce back like 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.240 two individual plays after that punt by Jerome Baker and 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.880 Zach Seeler to fit for Baker and to shut a 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.720 block for Seiler to make one yard stops to set 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.800 up a pressure look where Javon Holland gets home for 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.760 a strip sack the first forced fumble of his career, 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.720 and Melvin ingram Anny on the spot once again scoops 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:03.880 that thing up, puts the Dolphins in scoring range. In 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.880 a few plays later, Chase Edmonds is into the end zone. 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.319 Then you get another Buffalo touchdown, and Miami comes right 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.240 back nine plays eighty three yards, five minutes and fourteen 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.080 seconds for a touchdown of their own. And then you 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.199 also had some moments in the game that I wouldn't 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:22.240 say were mistakes, but chances and opportunities to really take 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.480 the game and put it in the back pocket. As 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.920 a dub Exaviing Howard had a chance for a big 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.920 pick there right at the end of the first half 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.800 that just goes off the top of or just he 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.920 just barely missed up like an inch Javon Holland nearly 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.640 got when late in the game that could have potentially 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.959 sealed the game. The very next play, Jalen Phillips almost 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.000 makes an insane play to get one of his own. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.480 And just how fitting is it that I said one 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.880 of the keys in this game coming in was getting 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.680 the football away from this dude, Because despite all the 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.240 greatness of Josh Allen, and he's probably the best player 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.160 in the league right now, there are some moments where 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.480 the ball will be put in an opportunity for you 0:09:58.520 --> 0:09:59.680 to make a play on it, and we saw a 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.400 few time hims in this game. That's how other teams 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.360 have stopped with the Buffalo Bills. It's how you thought 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:04.880 Miami had to do it, But they did it in 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.680 another way. They just went out and stopped him and 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.679 really control the scoreboard for sixty minutes. But despite all 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.480 of that, and this goes back to the original point, 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.400 nobody's ever played a perfect game, and they did have 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.400 the opportunities to turn them over and just didn't get them. 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:20.400 But we did get him on one of them. More 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.880 on that just a moment. Still, despite all of those that, 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.120 Dolphins just continued to battle and battle and make plays 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.800 like when you don't make that big game changing play, 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:30.760 and it must be so easy for the mind to 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.080 go somewhere else and say, ah, we had it, that 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.679 was our chance, and then they wind up getting the 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.640 points behind you. It just didn't happen that way. And 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.240 after those two picks that Dolphins potentially could have had 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.360 with Holland and with Jalen Phillips, these were the next 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.120 plays following that sequence, and it was an absolutely crazy one. 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:51.400 So after the hauland pass breakup, you get a nerror 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:55.439 pick and pass breakup from Jalen Phillips. Then you get 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.959 Josh Allen rushing up the middle for eight yards where 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.160 he broke contained once again, got off of the pressure 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.440 from the Dolphins and move the chains. Then you get 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.920 a past for nine yards down to the six yard 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.439 line that puts the Dolphins or the Bills in second 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.360 and one from the six yard line. They get four 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.000 yards in the ensuing play, then first and goal from 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:15.640 the two yard line, and you have to be thinking, 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.400 as Dolphins fan, right, you have to be thinking, well, 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.960 there's two thirty six left. We have one time out. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.400 At least we'll have time to go down and either 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.160 kick a game tying Phil Gore or maybe, like last week, 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.840 go win it with the game winning touchdown. But the 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.559 defense said, not so fast, my friend. One yard rush 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.120 where you land in Robertson. A whole gang of Dolphins 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.320 really just piled that play up and made the stop 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.040 right there at the goal line. And you're thinking, well, okay, 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.200 well there's another two minute warnings, maybe lose some time there, 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.040 They're probably gonna find a way in. Still the defense 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:46.920 is thinking, man, not this defense, not on the goal 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.959 line in short yardage. We know about this defense. In 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.760 short yardage, Josh Allen rushes to the right, one yard 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.800 loss o Landon Roberts again, Miami time out. All right, well, 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.439 now our time outs are going by the way right, 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.560 but I'm gonna stop third and goal. Josh Allen in 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.480 complete passed down the middle, x almost picks this one off. 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.520 Then fourth and goal, we get a pressure look and 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.560 it forces Alan to throw off his back foot. The 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.200 past comes up short, and you think in the game's over, 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.760 but it's not. The Dolphins lose the yard on first 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.040 and tent from their own two two rushes up the 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.079 middle and lost what coach McDaniel says was about a 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.000 quarter of a yard on that play, So they are 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.120 backed up as far as they possibly can be. Then 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.680 you get incomplete pass to Raheem Moster, and then we 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.200 punt the ball off our own guy for a safety. 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.120 And now all of a sudden, the field goal wins 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.760 it and more Stead bangs a seventy four yard punt 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.680 down the field on the on the safety kickoff punt, 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.520 whatever that's called. And the Bills, I mean, they start 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.320 doing what they do man second and ten, Plague gets 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.200 eighteen yards to Gabe Davis. Then they go incomplete pass, 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.600 then they go pass to Jamison crowded for nine yards. 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.480 Then they get a pass for seven yards, and all 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:47.959 of a sudden, the balls at the forty three and 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.920 you're thinking, man, Tyler Bass has a sixty yard leg. 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.600 It's gonna come down to a field goal. Then Emmanuel 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.480 Ogba will get to him in a minute, wins a 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.040 pass rush and forces a hold and backs him up 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.280 ten yards, and then you eventually get the set getting 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.520 twenty completion to Isaiah mackenzie, and the Dolphins discipline will 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.800 come back to that as well, allows them to tackle 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.880 him and bounce. Just an absolutely insane sequence. We'll go 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.920 ahead and take our first break right there and come 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.280 back with the other four takeaways. The first one. This 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.920 Dolphins team continues under Mike McDaniel to show their resolve 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.600 Takeaways two through five. That's next Drive Time podcast. Your 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:30.960 host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation, picking 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.640 it back up with takeaway number two. And I didn't 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.559 mean to do this with the number two and two's name, 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.880 but takeaway number two is just, to a man, what 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.160 a performance by the quarterback. They get the ball back 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.520 late in the first half in a tie game, and 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.240 it's third and long and two. It gets a free runner, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.200 spins out of that and fires a strike to Jalen 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.880 Waddle to move the chains. We had fifteen because of 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.280 a late hit, and it's a lower back injury that 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.160 was actually a re aggravation of an earlier injury. Went 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.400 to a snuck the ball and got dinged up in 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.280 the bottom of the aisle and we actually, you know, 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:02.559 I was keeping an eye on him on the in 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.439 the press box and he was limping around the sideline 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.319 a little bit. I said, Seth Man too, looks a 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:07.920 little bit shaken up over there. I did not like 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.080 the way that looks. But he's tough as nails. He 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.640 comes back and and gets in there. Then he aggravates 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.720 it on that late hit, and you could just hear 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.640 the energy level in the building just kind of lower, 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.120 Like you could hear the fight song after the go 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.440 ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, they actually cut the 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.200 music and let the fans sing it acapella, and man, 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.120 that was a thing of beauty. It was so loud 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.120 and there. But back to the halftime part, you just 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.000 kind of felt the energy come out of the building, 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:33.480 people are like, let's go get some hot dogs and 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:34.960 see if our quarterback is ready to go for the 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.480 second half. And the offense was really getting it going 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.000 right there, and coming off the game last week, people 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.600 were buzzing thinking there could be an explosive play here, 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.920 they can score quickly or have a go ahead drive. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.520 And he comes out and it stalls. Then he comes 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.440 back out for the second half pumping the crowd up, 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.200 and man, that got everybody going. And after that he 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.760 finished five of seven with a hundred yards. That was 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.080 all he had in the second half, just seven pass attempts, 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.840 but boy did he make the most of them. The 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.800 rip to River Cracraft the touchdown throw. By the way, 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.960 all Cravecraft does catch touchdowns, two catches two touchdowns in 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:10.000 his Dolphins career, and he's thrown with such pristine accuracy, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.800 the keyhole accuracy that we've heard about for so long 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.520 right now just sticks it right between a trio of 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.560 Bill's defenders for a big, big time touchdown throw. What 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.800 a play one. Then there was a play where he 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.760 does that subtle little shift in the pocket we talked 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.720 about this week to kind of slide away from some 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.360 pressure step up and throw it the to Tyreek Hill 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.240 for a first down. Then there's a play later in 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.520 the game with really good footwork and ball handling on 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.360 an r P O pop It comes out of the 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.400 break with a twenty two yard shot the Tyreek Hill. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.800 Later on, I just thought he continued, even on just 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.040 eighteen pass attempts to show you the growth and the 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.920 skill set that he offers this Dolphin's football team, this 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.440 Dolphins offense, and why he was the number five pick 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.600 in the draft, and why he is now sixteen and 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.960 eight as a Dolphins starting quarterback. And of course, his 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.640 most impressive play of the day, that forty five yards 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.880 shot on third and twenty two to Jalen Waddle. What 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.920 a rip, What a moment. The Dolphins win probability jumped 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.560 eight percent on that play. Doesn't seem like much, but 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.360 it actually is a huge moment. I'm sure that's gonna 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.760 help his QBR E p A. All those fun stats 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.200 will cover on the Tuesday podcast. Let's actually go ahead 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.880 and hear from two one now on that forty five 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:17.400 yard bomb. Followed up after that by coach McDaniel talking 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.640 about the exact same player Mike caud called a play 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.680 that he thought would work. Um, and if we got 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.400 a certain look, we wanted to take advantage of it. 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:29.080 And so they looked like they ran a quarters coverage 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.720 and they played really deep. So I try to hold 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:37.320 the boundary or the field safety, Uh to tyreek side. 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:39.880 UH try to hold him. And then I came back 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:43.080 to Wattle. Um, you know, trusting that Water would beat 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.240 this guy, which he did. And now Coach McDaniel, no, 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:51.680 I think it. Um, that's one that's a big play 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:53.800 that I think too will always remember that a lot 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:58.200 of his teammates will because he was battling through and 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.840 it's that's really hard, especially with how how he throws. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.359 He uses such great base and balance that he uses 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:10.400 his whole core to throw and U Um, he had 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.600 to be on time and on rhythm. He saw the 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.879 covers the right way. He attempted to move the field 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.439 safety as best he could. But I think it it 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.960 goes to show how um important it is to him, 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.440 how gutsy he is, how tough he is UM and 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.320 when when uh he can he can sense when big 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.520 moments are on the line. And you know, I'm just 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.560 very happy that him and Waddle came up with the 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:37.400 play um to to get us in into scoring position 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:41.720 that that Chase Automa Um ultimately ended up getting the 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.199 score on. So um that was a that was a 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.440 big one that I think we'll all remember for sure. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.959 We always talk about how coach teaches us things on 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.480 this podcast, and just talking about the mechanics and how 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.639 to kind of uses his core to generate zip and 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.520 velocity and and the way he throws the football. It's 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.600 it's really interesting stuff that I hear him talk about 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.600 that it makes you appreciate even more the performance today 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:03.760 to a tung of violo. I'm just getting text and 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.040 stuff right now from like random people. My my wife's 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.200 grandma just text me congrats Travis on the big win. 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.560 I have never once heard from her after a Dolphins victory. 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.240 So good stuff. Everyone's having good vibes around this football 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.600 team right now. And takeaway number three is the defensive 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.880 adjustments combined with the pass rush getting things going. And 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:24.800 I thought there was three elements of this game that 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:28.920 Miami adjusted to beautifully because Buffalo and Ken Dorsey I thought, 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.280 had a great plan and a great you know attack 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.640 to go after this Dolphins defense and what it does 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.920 so well and there was three things that really sted 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.400 out to me. Number One, they kept running that little 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.000 slip screen. I'm not sure if that's what you call it, 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.200 but it's what it feels like. It is where Singletary 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.359 would go up into the a gap and bluff a 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.960 block on like the most inside pressure, and then he 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.520 would just kind of flip around show the quarterback his numbers, 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:52.080 and Allen would dump it to him. And it was 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.960 going for eight, nine, twelve yards a time, and it 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.000 was like, Man, if they're gonna do this all game 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:58.960 long and we can't adjust to it, that's gonna be 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.160 hard to stop. Like they can not take the deep 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.200 shots that we're taking away from them and just do 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.400 this and it will work for them. But we adjusted 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:07.760 and we started kind of sending someone at that running 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.280 back to go physically hit him because in that five 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.600 yard range you can make that contact and put a 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:14.359 guy on the turf. Did that a few times and 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.119 stopped that outlet from Josh Allen, and that helped the 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.439 pressure continue to get after Josh Allen. After that fact, 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:22.800 they had some a lot of quick screens in this game, 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.600 even against free rushers, where Alan would go up over 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.520 the top or drop that arm, angle down by the 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.240 hip and throw it like a shortstop and get it around. Guys. 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.040 They had the quick screen game, the cover zero beaters. 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:36.600
