He's gon my advands 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:19.400 in the playoffs. 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.280 What is up Dolphins and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.200 I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.200 it's preview day already. It feels like I just covered 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.280 a football game and here we are talking about another. 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.000 One short week Dolphins host the Raiders. Will break it 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.279 down as we do by matchup, by key elements of 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.680 this game and everything in between. From the Baptist Health 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:53.840 Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:59.520 Drive Time Podcast. First order of business. It is Thursday 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:01.840 night football and another good one we got here for 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.360 you guys. The Commanders are. 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.039 At the Eagles. I am conflicted on this one. 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.120 Despite being oh, he's doing it again, he's pulling up 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:14.840 his phone for a live reaction. One twelve and forty 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.040 on the season. This is a tough week and we'll 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:18.679 get to the rest of the picks on Friday. But 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.240 I'm conflicted about like four or five of these games. 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.600 I'm taking the Commanders. I think they're going to win 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.479 the division. That was my prediction back in August. It's 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.640 my claim to fame if it happens, sin, so we 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:29.440 have to commit to it. 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:29.679 Here. 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.479 We'll take the Commanders after a tough loss last week 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.360 to bounce back and get this win over the division rival, 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:36.360 the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:36.600 JT. 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.120 I know you won't hear the podcast, but if you do, 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.840 I apologize picking against the Eagles on TNF. Let's talk 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.080 about the Raiders, and let's be transparent here for a second. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.040 This is the worst football team I've seen on. 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:49.000 Tape since. 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.320 Watching the Panthers last year ahead of that Week six game. 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.560 I don't got much to talk about. It's going to 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.600 be a shorter podcast because they're just as much here 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.160 for this team. It's not gonna be short cause I 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.280 did my work, but let's break it down. I just 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.560 had a hard time finding things to like, really key 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.760 in on because to me, this should be an absolute 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.800 washout game. It's a hard rock stadium, one o'clock kickoff, 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.680 Week eleven against the Las Vegas Raiders, eighty one degrees, 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.679 partly cloudy, no rain, ten mile proor breeze. Should be 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.400 a beautiful day for football. Come on out and watch 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.920 the boys lay it down. I am so excited for 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.560 this game though, because you know, it's funny. I talked 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.400 about this in the show last year, going into games 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.799 where we were two touchdown favorites or more. I would 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.760 opine if this is how it feels when you become 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.640 a really good team, where it's like, oh, this is 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:39.720 probably going to be a win. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.079 It's definitely going to be a win. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.160 It's hard to get up for those games, and of 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.600 course you know the players can never have that mentality. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.000 But as someone that hasn't missed a Finn's game this 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:53.080 millennia and experiencing a truly dominant outfit like that was, 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:57.640 it made my mind wonder, like, do I have to 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.079 have eight, nine, ten games a year where it's like 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:01.680 this is a walk in the park. I don't gotta 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.480 worry about it? Might be kind of nice now thinking 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.520 about that. And you know what do I always say 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.280 on the show, here the NFL can change in a blink, man, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.440 What you know about a team this week might be 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.560 totally different next Wednesday or Thursday, whatever day it is. 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.280 And here we are one year later, and I am 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.160 so fired up to go back to the press box 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.240 where I was thinking, like, they're gonna beat the Panthers, 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.880 they're gonna beat the Giants, They're gonna roll the Patriots 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.400 here at home. Now, I am so excited to get 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.560 one of those teams at hard Rock Stadium with our 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.600 guy under center, that we are supposed to beat. And again, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.680 it's not a guarantee, it's a guarantee, but I've seen 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.760 this team dominate so many of these games, and I've 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.280 seen them win just about all of them, sands the 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.400 Titans game last year, which of course was a major 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.560 blow simply put, just for the flow of the week 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.880 after playing a bunch of gut wrenching games, three of 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.280 those being tough to swallow, losses that easily could have 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:54.960 been wins. And if they were your six and three 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.559 right now, you're talking about the AFC East as a possibility. 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.560 Even with the sweep against the Buffalo Bills, Digress well 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:01.960 actually would have won one of those games, they'd be 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.360 one game worse and you'd be a game back with 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:04.360 a split in the division. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:05.240 So whatever. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.840 But I'm excited to prep for a team that we 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.280 are supposed to really really get after here. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:13.320 Does that track for you, guys? 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.560 Because it's just been stress all year long, and now 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:16.720 I just kind of want to sit back and like 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.880 watch a twenty one point blow. That'd be nice, and 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:20.679 let's get to know that team and it is there. 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.840 He does remember doing this summer workup on these guys 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.600 and loving their roster on offense and how it's grown developed, 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.520 especially at the skill positions on that offense. Now, of 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.839 course DeVante Adams is gone, but all of that said, 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.760 like the one thing that it felt they never got 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.400 to was the most important position, the quarterback. Like they 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.000 didn't get a free agent signing outside of Gardner Minshew 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.480 and go Koog's for sure, but it felt like they 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.640 were kind of waiting in the draft and never got 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.039 their guy in a class that saw five guys go 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.360 with the top like eleven picks of this year's draft 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.200 or thirteen pick whatever it was. But you know, is 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.240 Gardner Minshew the long term solution. No, he's like a 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.440 spot starter. He's like a twenty eight best quarterback in 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.080 the league. Now he's not playing that good either, so 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.360 maybe it's even lower than that. He's throwing six touchdowns 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.320 and eight picks in eight games and seven starts. He's 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.080 been benched three times, once for aid and O'Connell who's 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.840 out for the year, and once for Desmond Ritter who 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.000 arrived less than a month ago. 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:14.520 And they might be. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.679 Getting a key target for Minshew back in Michael Mayer, 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.960 who had his practice window open. But it's not for 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.120 sure that he will be back, but he would fortify 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:23.760 you know, the way this team was built through the 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.400 idea of being a twelve personnel heavy package by using 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.800 the thirteenth pick on brock Bowers this year and the 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.440 thirty fifth pick last year on Mayor from Notre Dame. 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.799 And on top of all that, they hired Tom to LESCo, 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.000 who I mean he ran the Chargers into the ground. 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.000 See let's bring him to the rival, I guess. 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.359 And they also removed the interim tag off Antonio Pierce 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.680 after a five and four finish and going eight to 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:45.400 nine in total. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:46.160 But a lot of. 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.920 Those wins were like foo gayzy man against like bad 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.400 football teams. I think that Christmas Day went over the 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.160 Chiefs what really solidified that. But it's not looking like 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.280 it's the right move right now. And that includes you know, 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.080 they they lost their quarterback in October last year, so 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.640 I guess an impressive overachievement of sorts that way, but 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.200 those type of overachievements just delay things like longer. 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:06.719 They delayed the inevitable. 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.120 But as they head towards another potential rebuild or it's 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.360 gonna be a rebuild autter this year, and almost certainly 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.520 if a quarterback in the top three or four picks, 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.200 I think it's gonna be number one. The Raiders fans 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.080 are ready for success right now, and they should be 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.680 because last year, before the playoff, or before going eight 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.240 to nine, last year six and eleven, and twenty twenty two. 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:26.960 They did make the playoffs in twenty twenty one, but 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:28.440 it was like it was one of those you know 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.680 Dolphins Matt Moore teams, and they got like beat by 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.800 the Bengals pretty handily. And on wild card weekend, I 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.440 think they score a touchdown lates make it close, but 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.120 like ten and seven wildcard round loss eight to eighth 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.719 the year prior seven and nine and nineteen, four and 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.480 twelve and eighteen, six and ten and seventeen, and their 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.000 last great season was in twenty sixteen, a twelve and 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.919 four campaign, but Derek Carr broke his leg in the 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.280 penultimate game and they had to go into that playoff game, 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.640 their first in fourteen years with a backup quarterback. So 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.480 they're basically like they're you know, they look at Dolphins 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.560 fans like you think you have it tough. Let's go 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.520 ahead and get into this year's team in their offense specifically. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.680 And quite frankly, I don't really know, because. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.880 They promoted Scott Turner to the position after firing Luke Getsy. 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.920 Which did you watch the Bears last I sorry, I 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.800 just I'm having a hard time, like not laughing for 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.320 thirty minutes and calling it a show. They hired Luke 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.400 Getsy after the tire fire that was the Bears last year, 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.680 and they fired him after the Bengals lost. They're coming 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.400 off of bye week, so I assume they'll get something 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:29.160 relatively new ish. Maybe I don't know, because they brought 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.360 in Joe Philbin and North Turner two. I don't know, man, 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.560 We'll probably stay brief and focus more on the personnel 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.160 because I just don't know what's gonna look like. Well, 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.720 I shouldn't say that totally because he was an OC 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.280 for three years in Washington under Ron Rivera, who decided 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:44.680 he wasn't good enough to coach there and he got 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.160 fired off to twenty twenty two season, where he joined 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.080 Josh McDaniel's staff in Vegas for twenty twenty three as 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.040 a passing game coordinator, the role he stayed in this year. 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.400 This is why these soft resets don't work. Man. You 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.400 can't do like bits and piece and parts? What bits 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.520 and pieces and parts? Because you wind up bringing back 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.240 Norv Turner like he's an offensive consultant. Then I remember 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.160 him for the two years with Ricky Williams here where 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.040 it was like hey, run Ricky right, run Ricky left. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.480 But he also had various influences all over the league, 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.320 across multiple systems. His original influence was the Don Corriel 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.200 air Coriell attack, which you know, how funny is this 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.760 The description of the air Coriell has forced the defenders 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.840 to cover the length and width of the field entire league, 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.000 which is basically the goal of every single offense in 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.600 modern football, which is usually how it goes. You know, 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.959 what was once innovative eventually becomes the norm. How do 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.840 you attack this scheme? We don't know what it's gonna be. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:37.239 Eh. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.800 I feel like I'm operating more blind this week than 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.720 at any point this season, maybe in nearly a decade of 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.000 doing this. From what I can tell, the offense is 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.200 pretty uniform. It doesn't really want to adapt, but rather 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.520 drills in core principles and sticks to them. What's the 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.720 old saying from a coach Carter or Hoosiers or freaking 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.120 semi pro or I don't know a basketball movie wasn't 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.200 semi pro? Where something to the effect of, you know, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.760 as this coach is running the players through the point 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.280 of like throwing up on the court when it's the 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.480 fourth quarter, you're too tired to think. You know, I 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:09.760 want you to know this play at the back of 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.079 your whatever. I think it's coach Carter. You know there's 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.400 too many mother f and snakes and this mother from 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.920 playing Samuel L. Jackson Tangent's aside, like this is where 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.439 his podcast is going to go today, Guys like I 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.120 don't got much for you by way of substance. I do, 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.280 but it's going to be a blowout Tangent aside. You know, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.760 that's that's sort of this approach. And I found some 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.320 literature on a Commander's website where they interviewed Ryan Fitzpatrick, 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.320 and he said that Scott Turner refused to adapt his 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.080 system to his players. Either you fit in or you don't. 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.840 That's not coaching. And it takes the quarterback, he said, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.599 two full years to learn that system. Fitz was the 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.480 quarterback there for a year when he got hurt opening day. 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.640 But you get the point. I don't think it's realistic 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.679 for the Raiders to expect to implement some multi layered 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.400 scheme that sequencesn't evolves as we go for this game, 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.760 even with the long week off, the two weeks off, 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.440 that is just not how it works. Like they don't 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.600 go through OTAs for the hell of it. They're trying 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.800 to bank reps to build into the summer program, So 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.800 trying to implement a full sale change approach in season 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.679 is not going to be easy. So if I had 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.760 to project, I would say they implement some concepts like 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.920 all right, we're gonna run freaking you know Sale, you know, 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.200 go run Sale, go run dagger, you know, go run 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.199 slant flat like, And that's to me, that's going to 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.800 be their offense. And it probably limits the line of 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.400 scrimmage autonomy that Gardner Minshew has to build off of 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.560 this game. And quite frankly, I think the Dolphins have 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.280 the exact type of scheme to not just slow them down, 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.640 but to really take advantage of the newness. I mean, 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.040 they confuse Matthew Stafford last week has been a lead 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.080 for sixteen years and in his current system for four years. 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.480 Gardner Minshew two weeks into a system is not exactly 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.600 the same, and that takes us into the Raiders Big three. 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.079 On offense, Number one is to make Minshew make complex 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.640 reads and decisions on every drop back. Do not make 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.480 it easy on this man. Make him make twenty five 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.160 difficult reads in this game. And the loss of Kendall 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.120 Fuller makes it a little bit tougher, But man, I 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.599 think we have the depth now to combat that, especially 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.080 with this competition. You know, we'll have Kendall back in 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.640 time for Green Bay. I imagine I think he'll be 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.240 good to go by that time. But that's all the 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:09.800 matters to me is I don't care if he plays 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.640 this week or next week. But hoping the same can 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.720 be the case for Bradley Chubb, at least for that 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.160 Houston San Francisco matchup, because I do think we'll win 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.000 three of the next four and the one could be 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.080 Green Bay. If you win all four of them, you 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:22.840 kind of have some house money going into the final 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:27.080 four games. But Houston San Francisco could be the deciding 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.959 two week portion of the season and that's why I 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.120 want the key players back for But in terms of 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.400 the guys we do have, I think cater has probably 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.920 been the most pleasant surprise for me this year, because 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.120 I thought last year was tough and I thought he 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.839 really struggled to start the year, but he's really bounced back, 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.120 and I think it could be because how he's being used, 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.240 and it speaks to his level of buy in and 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.160 the job of Anthony and Weave are to recognize his 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.880 versatility and put it to use. And that's really true 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.920 of the entire defense. I touched on this in the 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.280 All twenty two episode, how impressive it was how many 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.480 different looks they were able to get to from the 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.680 same pre snap presentation, and with Javon playing what I 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.439 thought was his best game of the year and wasn't 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.080 a high bar, but saying for Jordan Boyer then Ramsey 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.360 doing what he does every single week, I think there's 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.520 a really good opportunity to pile up some takeaways in 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.679 this game because of a couple of reasons. First, Minshew's 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.520 game at Washington State was playing with exceptional timing and 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.040 rhythm in Mike Leach's air raid offense. But that mastery 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:22.400 is like twelve plays deep on. 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:23.280 A cocktail napkin. 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.840 That was our entire playbook, Gokus, and we saw him 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.120 have success early in the NFL doing large part to that. 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.080 He played in really good rhythm and saw the field 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.080 and let that thing rip man and were cut off jeorts. 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.560 And then I think there was some more tape on 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.040 him that not only exposed some of the limitations that 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.600 made him a sixth round draft pick, I think it was, 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.040 but sort of created this book that he's had a 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.560 hard time readjusting to. And I think there's been a 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.600 lack of comfort with what he's getting this year from 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.400 this Raiders offense because he's bailing on clean pockets all 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.840 the time. There's a clip against the Chiefs and a 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.640 critical fourth down in the low red zone where he 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.719 like just runs into a sack. It was one of 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.520 the weird plays I've seen from a quarterback this whole year, 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.040 or where he holds the ball and passes up available 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.360 reads in the progression. That's why I think that like 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.359 this offensive corner change is not going to be helpful, Like, Okay, 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.800 it's going to get better with a new verbiage, a 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.600 new system, And that's where I think, you know, it 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.880 could be a collision course. I think his pocket management 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.240 has been awful, and the Dolphins do as good of 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.720 a job as anybody else of making the pocket muddy 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.440 and confusing you with where the rush lanes are coming from, 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.439 and then just playing through some of your guys with 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.800 peer power with Zach Seeler and Kalaeis Campbell, while also 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.160 flashing unexpected defenders into passing lanes that shouldn't be there. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:35.240 Good luck, Gardner. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.040 So this is basically an attack on Minshew's lack of 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.840 comfort in terms of what's on tape this season, and 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.680 his lack of experience in a system that's going to 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.000 be brand new to him and probably not qualified for 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.760 this league, and his teammates against the defense who strength 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:52.120 is versatility and coverage, front and mixture. Like, it's all 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.200 bad news for the Raiders offense, even if something is successful. 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.199 I think you can make an argument that no two 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.280 plays whatever makes sense to go back to back, make 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.839 Minshew make these complex reads and decisions on every single 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.079 drop back in this game. They have the most giveaways 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.920 in the National Football League. You should continue that theme. 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.199 It's nineteen get make it twenty three. Let's go ahead 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:13.719 and take our first break rate there, come back and 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.040 finish up the offense. We'll also do the Raiders defense 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.440 and how tow it can attack those boys next Draft 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.640 Time podcast. Your host Travis Wingfield right to you. I 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:28.040 don't know. Big thing Number one for the Raiders offense 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.600 was to make Minshew make complex reads every single drop back. 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.600 Number two is Bowers and Mayor. It sounds like an 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.200 injury settlement firm who advertises heavily on the five o'clock 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.840 news it's my money and I want it now, or 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.400 all the local ones down here in South Florida call 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.000 Steiner and Ryner at eight five. 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.000 One one one one one one one one. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.320 One, like all those catchy commercials that I can't stand, 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.600 but they always say, like their phone number three times 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.640 over again. Uh. You know these guys, they moonlight as 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.040 Bowers and Mayor esquire, but their day job is playing 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.440 the tight end position really really damn well. And this 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.240 will make the work on Jordan Brooks, who I think 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.720 is coming off of his best game, and Anthony Walker 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.560 same regarding best game as well as the safety is 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.520 really important in this game. Well, it's important as it 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.200 can't be, and it kind of plays off the first 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.720 key in terms of constantly changing the picture. I just 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.680 can't get enough of how Javon Holland was used in 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.520 accordance with Cater Kohu. I think you can create matchups 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.400 that way, but you also have this is this the 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.080 reverse card and Uno the queen on the chessboard. I'm 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.760 talking about Jalen Ramsey and where I think that having 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:33.600 Ramsey's shadow anybody serves as to sort of sort of 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.600 diminish what makes him great. Think fangioll eat your heart out. 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.160 I also think that there are teams where it makes 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.240 sense to do more of that, like the Chiefs with 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.600 Travis Kelsey when he was better than he is now. 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.720 I think the Patriots make up a receiver with not 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:48.960 having a receiver on the team with Hunter Henry making 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.000 tons of sense, and here I think it does too, 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.360 though I do think Jacoby Myers is one of the 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.280 more underrated receivers in the NFL and has but he 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.160 has the body profile that Ramsey typically matches up well 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.480 with the bigger body receivers, but also I think cam 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.440 Smith has the game to match up that way as well. 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.280 So whether you're re routing trail technique and pass off 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.600 what we saw from various alignments from Cup and Nakua 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.520 on Monday night, I think this all coincides with point 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.320 number one. But the point is the tight end position 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.280 is the crux of the offense. Bowers has eighteen more 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.360 catches than anybody else on the team. He has a 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.200 buckfitty more yards than anybody else, and he's tied for 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.880 a second on the team with touchdowns. It's two but 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.720 him and Mayer, which mayor is not for sure going 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.640 to play. He's coming off the IR this week and 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.200 he was out with a personal reason. I don't know 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.360 what that is. But hopefully he's okay, but he might 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.360 play this week, he might not. They are thirty second 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.640 and rushing twenty seventh and passing twenty ninth and off 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.160 total offense and twenty fifth in points. And I mentioned 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.320 the rushing there. That's thing number three. Just keep that 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.720 ground game part, keep it in the garage, keep the 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.480 cover on it. Don't give him the keys, don't even 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:51.920 put in the ignition. Don't even look at it. Don't 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.040 even look at me. I mentioned the thirty second ranked 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.600 rushing attack, and watching this tape, it is not like 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.960 an isolated issue where you can clearly point out one 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.000 thinking back that that's real, that's causing all these issues 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.320 here on this earth. Ted Wynn, who is on the 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.480 show tomorrow, did a great breakdown on Coach Paint where 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.760 he showed a bunch of reps where the assignments just 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:16.400 either aren't properly communicated or coached or understood. I don't 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.760 know if the issue is because they would consistently, you know, 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.479 like they would have rules they would break. And by 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.720 that I mean like you'll get a double team where 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:28.119 you have a guard and a tackle attach with you know, 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.320 the guards supposed to play off the outside shoulder and 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.520 a climb to the second level and go attached to 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.159 a linebacker. And then here comes the tight end who 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.800 attaches to that same linebacker that the duo block or 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.160 the combination block is supposed to get off an attack, 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.280 and it leaves a linebacker on the other side of 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:48.080 the formation, just like like you know, the did I 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.000
