WEBVTT - Dolphins Jets Week 11 Preview 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:14.720 That keep looking down fail touchdown, Miami drawn? What is up? 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:19.239 Dolphans And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part of 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:25.200 the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.360 How's it going everybody? It's a Thursday. I am your host, 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.960 Travis Wingfield and as always, I am here to bring 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.640 you your daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. And on 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.040 today's show, it's a preview Thursday. We played a game 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.239 one week ago, but we'll have to wait three more 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.920 days for this one. As the Dolphins travel up to 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.559 MetLife and bring a bunch of rowdy fans with them, 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:51.040 including myself, Seth Levin O J. Mcduffee for the MetLife Takeover. 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.280 We'll break this game down with an introduction to the 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.840 current Jets position by position matchups, the three keys to 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.520 the game, and how Miami can win their third straight. 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.480 From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex, 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:10.480 this is the Drive Time Podcast. It's time for a 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.720 preview podcast and a trip to Jersey to take on 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.040 the New York Jets. As we do every week here 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.520 on the preview edition, we start with an intro into 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.720 our opponent the first time this season Dolphins and Jets, 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.199 and they actually will break a deadlock in this game, 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.840 provided there's no tie fifty five to fifty five to 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.320 one all time in this series. And we're gonna see 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.800 this team twice in a four week span. And I 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.120 always like saying it's a team with the wrong shade 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.520 of green, and I know Aqua isn't technically green. I 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.680 think it's more on the blue side of the spectrum, 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.640 if I'm correct on that, but it still works, right. 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.920 I mean, I remember seeing a promo for college hoops 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.520 back in like I don't know, two thousand two. I 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.960 used to be really into the Tar Heels and Blue 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:59.000 Devil's rivalry, like the Antoine Jamison days, and I think 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.240 that was about as good as it ever got. Maybe 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.440 I'm wrong on that, you basketball fans can't correct me, 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.760 but anyway, there was a promo for that game that 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.640 ran for like a week up to it, and the 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.120 voiceover on the promo said something to the effect of 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.240 two teams separated by only eight miles in six shades 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.600 of blue or something like that. And now I apply 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.520 it to my own personal most hated division rival. It 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.720 is Jets weak. And as I mentioned on the Seth 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.960 and o J podcast. The Rex Ryan years was what 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.160 really stirred up the victual for me. But since then 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.600 it's been a rough road for our division rivals up 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.079 to the North. They won fifty nine games the last 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.720 ten years and only two teams had less victories over 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:43.200 that span in Cleveland and Jacksonville. Are you guys fans 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.440 of the Around the NFL podcast on NFL Media. I'm 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.080 always privy to the successes and failures of our a 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.720 f C East rivals. But Dan Hans is the host 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.640 of that podcast, is as die hard for the Jets 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.840 as we all are for the Dolphins, and he has 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.720 talked a lot about how devoid of joy the last 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.360 deck Gata football has been for the Jet fan and 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.120 even more so you know these last five or six years. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.640 And in fact, the first year I began listening to 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.959 the A t N pod was the off season of ten, 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.240 when they were coming off a ten win season in 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.680 which they had a chance to go into Buffalo in 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.400 Week seventeen win and get in. And I believe that 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.240 Buffalo team was either six or seven win team that season, 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.200 and the Jets came up short behind the arm of 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.920 Ryan Fitzpatrick. He had three picks in that game. But 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.280 since then, it's been a really rough go for them 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.240 from steen to present five and eleven, five and eleven, 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.000 four and twelve, seven and nine, which was kind of 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.320 propped up at the back end of the schedule after 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.320 a slow start and a softer part of the schedule, 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.520 and they kind of won some games there down the stretch, 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.680 then two and fourteen and now currently two and seven, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:49.040 But those wins this year came against the Titans and Bengals, 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.440 So don't think they won't pick you off. You cannot 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.400 have that mindset. You have to get that in there. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.680 But this segment is more about how the Jets got 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.680 to this current place and as we do every week 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.040 on the Preview podcast, want to talk about this team, 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.880 and actually I think they are on the right track. 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.040 It's just too early into their process to truly evaluate 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.800 the win lost total that first year on a kind 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.640 of tear down, rebuild, the wind lost whole thing. Not 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.160 that big of a deal lot to me for the 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.200 most part, but I think Joe Douglas has done a 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.159 fantastic job of really maximizing the resources and assets that 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.200 he had, namely parlaying Jamal Adams, you know, into a 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.760 into a pair of first round draft picks for a 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.920 guy who right now, you know, he's a pressure and 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.040 run defense safety who's just not doing a whole lot 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.080 for the Seahawks on that side of the football. And 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.680 to get two first rounders and possibly a top ten 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.800 pick next year, which I believe will go below that 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.240 because the seahawks current struggles will probably stop now that 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.520 Russell Wilson's back at the controls. But that's besides the point. 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.160 They maximize that resource the way Miami did with their 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.680 resources back in twenty nineteen. Right. In a lot of ways, 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.120 it was kind of Miami's approach in that same time span. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.120 Anytime you're presented better than market value, or I should 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.760 say at least the perceived market value, you want to 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.440 capitalize on that. And if you do that enough times repeatedly, 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.680 you'll start to see it kind of bare fruit for you. Process, process, process, Right. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.200 We talked about that all the time. It's kind of 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.279 the theme of the Drivetime podcast. Now, some of their 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.599 draft capital has had some injury problems. McKay Beckton looked 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.839 like a future All pro before the medical begin to 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.240 take a toll on him and he's a big body, dude. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.680 I love Elijah Vera Tucker, although I'm not crazy about 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.000 spending multiple mid round draft picks to go up for 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.360 one guy on the offensive line when they really had 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.000 multiple spots to fill this offseason, But at the end 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.000 of the day, you get a good player and Elijah 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.279 Vera Tucker. I thought Elijah Moore was an absolute steal 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.479 for them in the second round. Quentin Williams is a 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.000 true shop wrecker, so was John Franklin Myers. Michael Carter 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.120 the running back. They also have a cornerback by the 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.760 same name is having a stellar rookie season, and I 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.000 thought Corey Davis was a nice signing this offseason to 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.000 give Zack Wilson some more weapons. So they're loaded with 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.360 draft capital and have a very young team, and this 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.080 year is certainly one for building for them. But the 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.880 one thing you always want to see in those kind 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.200 of rebuild the years is the flashes, right and I 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.800 mean we all pointed as Dolphins fans in twenty nine 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.600 team to the Eagles and Patriots victories, and rightly so 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.680 as great signs of progress. And the Jets have a 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.880 pair of wins over the best team right now as 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:14.919 far as record goes in the a f C and 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.560 Tennessee and another playoff contender in the five and four Bengals, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.680 who have kind of fallen off since that loss, but again, 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.640 a competitive team, so this league, you always gotta bring 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.720 your best. It'll be interesting to see how these two 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:30.279 teams progress in their different stages of building under their young, 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.000 first time coaches. But enough of that. Let's get to 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.000 the game on Sunday, and as we do weekly, we 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.920 start with the Jet quarterback against the Miami Safeties and 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.000 first off, major thanks to the Jets for announcing early 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.720 on Wednesday before recording this podcast that it would be 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:49.120 Joe Flacco starting under center for the Jets. Robert Sala 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.240 announced this citing Flacco's experience over Mike White, who threw 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.799 four picks and their loss to Buffalo last week, after 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.800 Jets fans were kind of excited to see if maybe 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.960 he could up end Zach Wilson's early start here to 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.320 his career. That obviously will not happen now, but Zack 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.800 Wilson's at the four week mark of a two to 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.440 four week injury, so giving him a little more time 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.760 to heal up. You have to imagine we'd see him 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.080 in that game down here at hard Rock Stadium in 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.560 about a month. But it's flat go for now. And 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.920 this is intriguing to me for a number of reasons. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.600 I'm sure the topic of last year's game, a Dolphins 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.560 shutout over Flacco in the Jets, will make its rounds 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.440 on Twitter and the pregame shows and whatnot, but I 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.240 don't think that plays here. Obviously, both teams are gonna 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.720 be different from the year ago, but that system couldn't 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.120 be more different than it is now. And truthfully, I 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.960 think the idea of Mike Lafleur coming from that NFL 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.240 current predominant system, of that Shanahan McVeigh tree and system 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.280 to kind of construct a play action slash boot heavy 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.680 attack to maximize Zach Wilson's ability to kind of go 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.280 off platform, off script and throw from different arm angles 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.880 with the arm talent and mobility he has. But again, 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.320 he's not in the lineup this week, So how does 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.720 that system ish with what Joe Flacco does. Well, Flacco 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.160 isn't gonna be a part of designed runs. He's not 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.880 gonna be your wildcat r P O or zone read 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.320 quarterback out of the pistol. He's just not gonna beat 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.160 your contain on rollouts. But he does have a giant 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.800 arm and can drive the football field the football down 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.320 the field, so you definitely have to be privy to 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.120 some of those deep passing concepts. He steps into an 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:26.200 offense that currently operates almost exclusively out of two packages 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.239 eleven personnel, which of course is the NFL's bread and butter, 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.599 and then this year you've seen a huge increase in 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.040 twelve personnel across the league. That's one back, two tight ends, 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.840 and two receivers at so if my math is right, 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.760 that's eight nine percent, and honestly, it's a very standard 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.280 look in today's NFL, not a bunch of two back sets, 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.440 which was something Flacco had a bunch of success with 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.120 up in Baltimore, as well as twelve personnel. And obviously 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.280 he's made four stops with three teams since that time 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.120 with Broncos, Jets, Eagles now back boom ringing to the 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.199 Jets once more. But they're only other offensive package with 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.680 more than two percent utilization is ten personnel. That's one back, 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.440 no tight ends, four receivers set. So you generally know 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.400 what you're getting with this Jets offense as far as 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.320 personnel goes, and we saw Miami have a bunch of 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.640 success against both twelve and twenty one personnel. The heavy 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:22.439 approach of the Baltimore Ravens obviously vastly different quarterbacks and offenses. 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.600 But I'm really intrigued to see what they cook up 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.320 after that game plan they rolled out last week. It 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.440 was brilliant, tasted great, five stars. But we get to 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.920 the Miami safeties here Before we do, I should say 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.040 here is exactly what Sala said of the decision to 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.680 go with Joe Flacco. Quote Joe. One of the reasons 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.920 we got Joe was the experienced part of it, not 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.640 only for the playing ability for the room, but also 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.480 situations just like this. Miami's got a dynamic coverage situation 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.120 when it pertains the defense with Cover zero and all 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.600 the different coverages that they run. Joe has been kind 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.760 of a kind of been there, done that, and just 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.400 kind of steadying experience that we felt like a post 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.600 in the best position to win this game. So there 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.640 you go. We've covered a lot of the safety play 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.640 for the Dolphins over the last few weeks, and that's 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.200 because these two guys are just playing really good ball 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.800 right now. And actually it's three because Eric Rose having 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.640 his best stretch of the season as well, and it's 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.000 been through plenty of blitzing, as we've noted here on 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.360 the podcast and otherwise. And while I don't have the 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.080 blitz numbers on Flacco this year, because while he just 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.200 took three snaps for the first time this season and 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.680 mop up duty against Buffalo and he actually went three 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.040 for three for forty seven yards and a teddy, good 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.200 for him, good for Joe. But last year in that 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.160 game against Miami, the Dolphins sent an extra rusher on 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.120 twenty two of his forty seven dropback, so a little 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.240 less than fifty I know that math enough. At least 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.600 against the blitz, Flacco was ten for twenty three with 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.599 four sacks, eighty eight yards in a pick. So it 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.840 was very effective against him a year ago. Will it 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.760 be this year? He's got better weapons and a better 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.600 offensive line in a different system, so we'll find out. 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.079 And just to finish it off, we talked about the 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:59.480 La Fleur and Shanahan mckmcveigh connection there. Miami played both 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.600 of those teams last year, the Rams and the Niners 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.240 and had great game plans for really all those wide runs, 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.280 the quarterback boots and blitzing to flash color. But then 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.200 once you flash the color and force a Jared Goff 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.160 or a Jimmy Garoppolo or a Joe Flacco to kind 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.040 of hitch and tuck the ball and try to protect 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.920 himself as he climbs and searches for an escape route. 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:20.840 That's when you can have a lot of success and 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.520 put hits in the quarterback negatively impact there down in 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.760 distant situation, maybe you force an Erran throw. And those 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.079 were two of the Dolphin's most successful game plans a 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.920 year ago, where they really pressured the naked boot option 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.520 off the wide runs to really contain the edge from 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.760 both the run and the quarterback trying to leak out 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:39.880 and give himself a clean pocket, which I'm sure you'll 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.520 see some of that in this game. I'll be curious 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.200 see how Miami goes after that. And really, if you 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:48.760 look at the average points allowed, takeaways, third down comparison 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:50.640 against those two opponents a year ago, compared to what 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.320 they do what they did against everybody else, it was 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.719 a huge departure for this Dolphins defense to get those 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.400 teams off track. So hopefully we see that again, but 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.880 I'm just generally curious to see the planned adjustment for 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.040 both sides, and Miami's gonna need both Holland and Jones 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.520 to continue disguising the coverages and making plays on the 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.800 back end moving out wide to the Jets receivers slash 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:14.800 tight end versus the Miami cornerbacks. They made two additions 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.840 this offseason that really bolstered this unit from the one 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.400 we saw a year ago. Corey Davis is a big, strong, 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.640 physically gifted receiver, you know, physically gifted enough to go 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.520 fifth overall in the draft a few years back to 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.239 the Tennessee Titans. And before we get into these matchups, 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.040 I found it interesting that in forty four coverage snaps 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.200 a week ago, Tradavious White for Buffalo saw just two 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.160 pass targets against the Jets, so they went away from 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:39.520 him and you can watch it on tape. They didn't 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.720 want any part of Trey White. Will the story be 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.000 the same here this week regarding Xavien Howard. I mean, 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.559 Byron Jones is pretty damn good too, but x did 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.040 get a pick in both Jets games. Last week's so 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.959 might not be the worst idea. But as for Davis, 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.400 a lot of his work came late in the game 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.560 when the result was already in hand. He's been their 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.640 go to guy for hundred forty two receiving yards in 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.120 the season and four touchdowns, but he's catching less than 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.080 six of his targets, while Elijah Moore has kind of 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.160 come on here late in the season. He has two 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.240 hundred and seventy four yards and far more limited time, 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.560 but he's starting to come on here. For this Jets offense, 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.560 he's gonna get open. He's a tough ask inside. He's 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.200 one of those glue hands guys that just catches everything 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:21.960 that doesn't really make sense to you. And in a 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.439 game where you obviously want to get pressure on Flacco, 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.880 he might be that quick outlet that you want to 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.600 take away off the top to force Flacco into a 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.120 secondary decision or to hold the ball for an extra 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.360 beat and look elsewhere. They also love to get the 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.880 football to Michael Carter in space or all those quick checkdowns. 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.040 More on that here in just one moment. So whether 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.959 that's a bracket or a double team, or even chipping 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:47.040 and disrupting the release of a Elijah More with a 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.600 backer or an edge defender, I think you probably want 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.320 to get hands on him early in the route and 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.560 make him take some more time to get to that release. 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.080 You don't want to get any quick access here for 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.000 Elijah More in this game, and they're gonna find a 0:13:58.040 --> 0:13:59.600 way to stack him and to motion him and get 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.000 him clear access. So just keep an eye on Elijah More. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:03.520 I think he's kind of the key to the offensive 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.120 game plan here for the Jets. After that, it's kind 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.640 of a mixture of guys that they have made play 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.720 slash been active options for the Jets this season. I 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.720 mean Denzel Mims, he's only been up for six games 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.880 after a rookie season where he looked like he might 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.440 be a solution there. Jamison crowd of the same deal, 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.800 six games. Keelan Cole, a guy that's only seen twenty 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.720 nine targets. So when I look at who takes who, 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.080 I have to imagine the Jets will move guys around 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.440 because they just are not beholden to one guy at 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.360 one position with this receiving corps and kind of buying 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.280 into that flexibility mindset, so they're gonna try to dictate 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.400 matchups my thing here again, Elijah More, I think he's 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.920 the answer to the quick game for them, And again, 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.120 kind of one thing that this offense does is condensed 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.560 the field and forces you to play inside, so that 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.600 can also kind of help Miami with regards to getting 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.000 extra hats in the box, but also kind of the 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.440 pressure package, and I think that's where the success came 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.480 from a year ago, where you have, you know, this 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.880 wide zone and kind of misdirection and get linebackers taking 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.080 false steps and create knows in the passing game. With 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.240 all that I candy, because of those condensed packages, you 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.320 can then get even more creative with your rush and 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.120 who bails out because there's not as much distance to 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.160 cover when you do bill out. So I think it's 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.960 kind of beneficial to Miami in that regard. And of course, 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.480 your primary answer for the Jet passing game is the 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.359 blocking up front, which takes us to the Dolphins defensive 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.480 line versus the Jets offensive line. Some pressure numbers here 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.000 for these big dudes. Still no McKay Beckton back for 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.560 the Jets, so we get to look at the fan 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.320 slash Moses tackle combo with Vera, Tucker McGovern and Van 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.720 Rotten Rotten inside just the name power alone. Another tip 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.840 of the hat here to Joe Douglas for getting this 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.200 line at least partially turned around from what it had 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.800 been in years prior. Obviously still some work to go, 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.480 but getting Moses really kind of saved them from having 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.640 to go to the practice squad for a swing tackle. 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.760 With Chuma Adoga also down, Moses and Fan obviously playing 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.400 a lot now at those positions, and that veteran presence 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.920 inside I think can really help along with first rounder 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.800 Elijah Vera Tucker. So for four d and twenty three 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.760 little snaps on this offensive line, Greg Van Rotten, Elijah 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.040 Vera Tucker, and Connor McGovern have all played wire to wire. 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.920 Moses on three nine two pass blocking snaps and pant 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.680 three eight six, so pretty good continuity there. They just 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.000 haven't had well those tackles they normally had for most 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.520 of the season, but Fan four team pressures allowed, two 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.680 sacks and no hits. He's been by far their best 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:26.360 offensive lineman in past protection. Vera Tucker twenty seven pressures, 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.920 one sack and five hits. McGovern thirteen pressures, three sacks 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.320 and no hits. Van roten thirty two pressures, three sacks 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.120 and a hit, with Moses getting twenty nine pressures, two 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.680 sacks and eight hits on him, and a few things 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.920 here stand out to me. George Fan has been really good. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:44.520 He was a guy that I actually targeted a couple 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.200 of years back as a possible free agent idea just 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.720 because of his athletic ability and lengthen the size composition 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.560 that he fits with the Dolphins down here, but he 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.480 wind up with the Jets. Moses has been solid despite 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.040 the high pressure total and then the guard positions have 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.280 been kind of vulnerable, not just in terms of total 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.960 pressures allowed, but converting those pressures into sacks. And that's 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:05.640 the sign that those guys kind of when they get beat, 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.280 it's not good for them. Even over the center position, 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.720 where McGovern has allowed just third team pressures this season. 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.560 So how do teams get those pressures? Well, Van wrote 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.200 and allowed nine pressures the last two weeks against Indian Buffalo. 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.240 That's a Grover Stewart DeForest Buckner combination, which two different 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.520 players ones long and strong and incredibly powerful with with 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.480 wicked hands, and Grover Stewart's more of a squatty body 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.640 power guy that can run three you, and then Buffalo 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.120 has kind of the same mindset there At Oliver he's 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.399 more of your Buckner where Starlatu Delay is more of 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.720 your Grover Stewart. But he had a two game stretch 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.320 with third team pressures allowed back in weeks two and 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.880 three versus Denver in New England, and those are completely 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.480 different schemes stylistically, so I guess there's different ways to 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.600 approach this. But to be fair, he did bounce back 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.679 with one pressure allowed against that tough Patriots front slash 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.679 system just five weeks later. I'd be an area to 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.280 dolf for the Dolphins to attack their Elijah Vera Tucker 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.800 third team pressures over the last three weeks against the Bengals, Colts, 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.439 and Wills obviously same as the above players, but his 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.119 lowest PFF pass blocking grades occurred the last two weeks, 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.119 so maybe there's something happening there. And you know what, 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.119 as we kind of continue this, this is just a 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:11.679 theme for this team. A lot of the pressures have 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:15.040 occurred over the last few weeks, and that coincides with 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:19.360 the QB change. QB change quarterback change. Obviously, Zack Wilson 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.879 was and is a very mobile quarterback so an adjustment 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.320 period for them to get a little more familiar with 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.280 a more of a pocket style quarterback, and no quarterback 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.240 is more of a pocket quarterback than Joe Flacco. But 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.040 back to the offensive line, Moses twelve pressures last three 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.840 weeks against that same group, six against the Colts, and 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.280 Comoco to Ray had a great game there, so did 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:44.040 Quitty Pay and you know Terray and Pay kind of 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.240 Actually it's a bad round. I'm trying to go for 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:49.560 a stupid rhyme. But Terray compares kind of in the 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.480 same mold of Agba with the length and that first 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.320 step quickness. But it was Quity Pay who had the 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.399 biggest game there. He had nine pressures, working both sides 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.640 of the offensive line. And what does he have. He's 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.840 an explosive first step rusher and the ability to really 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.720 work through contact and shed blocks again, two things I 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.040 think are real strengths of both of Jalen Phillips and 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.560 Emmanuel Ogbass. So trying to find that matchup hairing there 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.639
