Followed up each loss 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.399 with a emphatic Dolphins victory thirty one seventeen over the 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.160 Patriots to improve to six and two on the season. 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.200 I'm gonna tell you the story of the game, the 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.280 play before the play, the five big picture takeaways.

But you know when you get 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:24.960 a victory and you go six and two, you know 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:25.600 what time it is? 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:32.320 When when win? When win win, win, win Win. 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.160 From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:38.839 This is. 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:46.800 The Draft Time Podcasting dopins. Let's kick off the show 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.840 as we do on Sunday nights, with a stat recap, 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.960 and this one favors the Fins twenty fourth first downs 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.440 to just thirteen first downs for the Patriots. The Dolphins 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.600 were five for fourteen on third down, not great, but 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.840 when you go three for three on four down, that 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.320 makes that look a lot better, especially when the other 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.080 side on defense you hold the Patriots just one for 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.200 nine on third down and one for two on their 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.000 fourth down attempts. Miami outgained New England by over one 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.639 hundred and sixty yards here three ninety two eighteen. Check 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.280 my math on that, three twelve to one forty one 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.000 in the passing department, and then seventy eight to seventy seven. 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.320 They win the rushing battle by a single yard. They 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.840 ran twenty three more plays in New England, so good 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.160 for that defense to play just fifty one snaps before 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:32.000 boarding a plane going overseas to Germany. And the Dolphins 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.160 do win again after not winning the turnover battle, two 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.680 turn ons for Miami won for the Patriots. The Dolphins 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.200 did sack mac Jones three times too, was dumped just 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.120 twice on the day, and just three penalties for twenty 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.680 five yards this week after last week's ten penalties. The 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.480 Patriots got flagged seven times for forty five yards and 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.560 Miami had the football for just five seconds fewer than 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.320 thirty six minutes in the game, and this game started 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.960 off with a pair of punts for either team. Before 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:58.720 we get into the story of the game, though, let's 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.919 go ahead and hear from head coach McDaniel, who talked 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.560 about how cool he felt this win was to sweep 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.480 the Patriots for the first time to sweep a team 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.000 and his tenure here in Miami. 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.440 This is a really, really cool win just for the team. 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:13.880 You know, it's the first time since I've been here 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.840 that we've been able to beat a division opponent. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:17.200 Twice. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.400 There's you get a great litmus test of where you're 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.560 at as a football team when you have a division game, 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.760 and then on top of that, you're going overseas the 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.359 next week, and on top of that you have hard 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.040 knocks the week after that is. 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.200 Leading the league and potential distractions. 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.120 So I knew we were going to find out a 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:48.200 lot about our team today and that I could care 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.400 less about what their record is. That is a tough 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:57.400 team to go against, and that they made their plays. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.320 They made it very difficult. But one hundred percent our 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:05.040 guys weren't looking at anything but today, which is why 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.880 we we were able to be victorious, because if we 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.440 would have been half hearted into anything we did, we 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.680 would have lost that game for sure. So very proud, 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:18.839 and the reason why the scores were different was because. 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:21.480 We uh we. 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:26.479 Diligently went back to work, didn't waste any time uh 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:32.640 talking about all sorts of things like why we lost, 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.200 or try to point fingers or you know, call out 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.359 a ref or something like. 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.400 None of that was occurring in our building. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.080 We went to work and worried about the details and 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:47.520 fundamentals of our individual jobs and collectively we were satisfied, 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.880 you know, or we're less satisfied with the with the outcome, 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:53.640 so very happy. 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.960 So it starts with the Patriots punt on their opening drive, 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.360 where you get an immediate win from k or Co 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.440 who doing what he typically does and shuts down screenplays. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.480 By the way, Cater in that role he played the 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.000 day where he can kind of stiff run the last 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:06.640 of scrimmage. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:07.800 He can come up and play. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.159 Press and physical and blitz the quarterback and play the 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.400 run game. I like that role for him a lot. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.440 He was awesome in this game. He cuts the opening 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.839 play down for a four yard loss, and then the 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.480 reason I'm kind of going play by a play here, 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.560 I thought you just got an example of what was 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.520 to come on all three of these plays. The very 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.640 next one, Jalen Phillips bend's inside and wins a two 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.520 gap assignment against the running game to shut that play 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:29.919 down for a short game. I think it was a 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.120 three yard play where he set the edge and worked 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.200 back over the top and made that stop. And he 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.599 did that all day long along with Bradley Chubb. And 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.000 then Jalen Ramsey peels off of his man on a 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.400 short throw a checkdown after pressure gets into mac Jones's 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.560 face and he peels off and Cubs makes a tackle 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.000 short of the sticks for a three and out immediately, 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.479 and then Miami has a punt of their own after 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.560 a fourth and one conversion on a nice ball from 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.840 two to waddle up the seam where he hit the 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.200 back shoulder on a little glance route. Just throw that 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.839 thing up there. Wattle agets the back shoulder seventeen yard 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:00.960 game on fourth and one to move the chains, but 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.800 then we couldn't get a couple of blocks that the 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.840 Patriots beat, and you know, hats off to them. We 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.360 talked about in the preview show. This defensive line has 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.360 a bunch of dudes on it that can really out 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.520 physical you, and they did that a couple of plays 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.040 to create a third and eleven. You get Chase Claypool's 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.920 first target there in the game, and it gets kind 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.800 of walled off for a weird looking and completion incomplete 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.280 punt the ball back and we get just nineteen yards 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:23.800 on the net on the punt because of thirty nine 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.600 yard line. You punt it into the end zone. They 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.120 take over at their own twenty. But then you get 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.919 another Patriots punt right there, because once again phillips a 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.960 play in the running game on a de Mario Douglas 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:33.600 jet sweep. 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:34.880 What a good looking player he is. 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.840 For the Patriots, by the way, did the exact same thing. 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.000 Sets the edge makes the tackle, you get a Zach 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.040 Seeler block beat for a tackle, and then third and four, 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.600 Jerome Baker times up a blitz really well, and I 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.640 thought Baker pluat another great game in this one today, 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.160 and it forces the ball out hot and then you 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.480 rally up and tackle where Bradley Chubb made the initial hit, 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.880 but then Brandon Jones had great effort to get over 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.080 there and finish off the stick to put him down 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.080 short of the sticks. And then the Dolphin get the 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.360 ball back and they throw a pick on a play 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.680 that just was a little bit strange. Tua talked about 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.200 it after the game, said that they ran a cool 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.320 concept where they ran double hooks and Tua through the 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.600 ball on the wrong read and winds up getting picked 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.800 off by Kyle Dugger, who makes you're gonna you can 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.720 put him down for four or five plays every time 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.680 we play this team because he's a great player. So 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.360 we turn it over, get the ball back to the 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.160 Patriots and they go down they score a touchdown to 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.320 put Miami in a seven toth in hole. Early they 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.520 get a couple of stops early on that drive, but 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.920 third and four they get man coverage and they beat 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.360 it inside with Kendrick Bourne going up against Justin Bethel 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.480 for a walk in touchdown for twenty four yards. 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.040 But then Miami answers. 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.600 Back as they typically do, forty two yards strike from 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.920 Tua to Tyreeka Tine up at seven to seven, and 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.280 Rob Jones came off the bench to play left guard 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.000 at this at this point of the game for Lester Cotton, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:45.120 and I thought he had a really good game at 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:45.560 left guard. 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:45.760 Two. 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.760 We'll break down the entire offensive line on tomorrow's podcast. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.080 But you had, you know, back to old faithful Tua 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.320 to Waddle for nine yards. You get some runs from 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.080 Jeff Wilson behind a great block by alec Ingold, and 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.480 you had Lamb and Wadle having good blocks, and it 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.840 puts you in a position in play territory and that 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.480 kind of goes zone where Miami has been so dang 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.680 good this year, and in fact, Miami's seven completions of 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.800 forty plus yards between tu and Tyreek. 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.640 They have seven of them. Nobody else has. 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.600 More than three in the national football at least in 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.520 the time of this recording, but that could change obviously 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:16.680 as the game's. 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:16.960 Play out here. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.640 But forty two yard touchdown passed a very similar dime 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.760 to the one we saw in Philadelphia where there was 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.960 two men covering the play, and I thought what was 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:26.480 cool about it was you had a little bit of 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.240 everything in terms of the Dolphins offensive you know, firepower 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.719 to impact the play. McDaniel with the design on the 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.200 little motion across the field, you saw that field safety 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.520 to that part of the field. He crept down and 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.160 kind of put his attention on that sweep action and 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.720 then the cornerback up against Tyreek over there. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.480 He took two steps forward. 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.240 And the rule is, you know, it's the same as 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.920 playing outfield in baseball, like on the fly ball, first 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.400 STEP's got to be back. He made his first two 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.839 steps up and that was all Cheetah needed to get 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.800 into the end zone to throw its an absolute dime, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.120 hitches up right on time, throws it into the bucket 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.240 for a long touchdown, quick three and out on defense 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.800 right there. So that's getting the momentum back on Miami's side, 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.360 David Long made a big play. Jalen Ramsey gets his 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.480 first action really in terms of a big play, and 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.480 all he does is come downhill and puts his helmet 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.680 on the football and forces it out and we can't 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.320 quite scoop it up on the sideline to get possession. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.400 It winds up trickling out of bounds. But what a 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:19.400 cool play that was. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.199 And then we get a holding call on that play, 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.520 so it backs the Patriots up. And then Wilkins had 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.520 a great plage shut on a running game a run play. 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.720 Same for Deshaun Elliott, a big playe shout on a 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.800 running play for the Patriots to get that three and 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.720 out and then it gets the ball back and goes 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.240 right back down and scores another touchdown. And that's when 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.280 he started to feel like, Okay, the Dolphins are back here. 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:38.840 A little bit of a slow start, but now it's 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.520 fourteen to seven. After you get a third and fifteen, 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.400 look that looks like, oh no, the Dolphins are gonna 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.679 have a hard time overcoming this again because the previous 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.040 time they had third and fifteen they threw an interception. 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.520 But you get Tyreek Hill for eleven yards and once 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.080 again you're kind of in that no man's land fourth down, 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.640 and Tua what does he do? Gets off the spot, 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.760 scrambles for a first down, picks it up with his legs, 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.280 moves the chains. Dolphins come right back and get the 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.480 ball back into goal to go situation. And it wasn't 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.559 their best effort down there, not effort, but just I 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.559 guess results because first and goal swinging past to achmed 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.200 and space couldn't make Kyle Duggar once again couldn't make 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.040 him miss. Second goal, throws on the move but kind 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.280 of threw it behind. Tyreek gets broken up. Then there's 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.680 a pass interference call on a third of Tyreek that 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.320 I thought was a little bit over his head, but 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.200 he made a catch later on in the game that 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.480 shows you that you probably should throw that flag because 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.720 he can make all kinds of crazy catches. Then you 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.560 get first and goal, fade pass goes incomplete, and then 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.160 Tua throws the quick slant to Cedric Wilson, who gets 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.720 on the board of his first career Dolphins touchdown, and 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.199 a great route to win inside access to it, puts 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.280 it just far enough out of the defender's reach but 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.920 within Cedric's reach an absolute dot to make that catch. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.440 He holds on through the contact. Big time touchdown there 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.439 from Miami take a fourteen to seven league with two 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.280 fourth down conversions. There was a fourth and one where 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.120 the Dolphins stood up and threw a quick now route 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.080 to Tyreek. It gets a critical block on the perimeter 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.200 and gets the first down, And I thought, you know, 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.120 Miami's the way they kind of adjusted their game plan 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.040 or what they do. You know, we'll talk about in 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.839 the takeaway segment, but Miami threw a bunch of short 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.880 hot throws in this game the screen game to kind 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.520 of execute and convert some short yard stuff. So they 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.640 found different ways when they had multiple you know, injuries 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.240 that I guess impact the what you can call a game. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.800 So Miami gets a fourteen to seven lead, and it's 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.240 playing out like all these Patriots games do, right, long drives, 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:24.319 minimal possessions. 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.080 You have to capitalize in the red zone. 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.240 Miami has two red zone or I guess one red 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.920 zone touchdown at this point. But also we'll get a 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.240 stop on the next drive on the Patriots tripp into 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.240 the red zone because you know, I wrote on my 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.720 notes here that Wilkins and Chubb have really controlled the 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.040 point in the running game, and they were doing a 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.480 good job of creating these third and long situations, and 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.680 you had Gelan Ramsey shutting down a full side of 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.560 the field defensively, and the Patriots success was through, you know, 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.880 a couple of nice runs here and there, but really 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:54.120 I thought was through getting those backside slants to inside 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.560 access against like you know, whether it was Eli Apple 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.600 or Caate or coh whoever might have been out there, 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.760 they were basically throwing the ball away from Jalen Ramsey 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.160 and that was mostly Devonte Parker. If you haven't had 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.000 a chance to see it, go look at mac Jones's 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.319 spray chart. They did not throw the ball to the 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.079 left side of the offensive formation like at all, because 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.880 the one time they did, all Ramsey does is peel 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.360 off of his man kind of bates mac Jones into this, 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.839 like you know, pump flat, throw the vertical route, try 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.720 to get a touchdown over the top, try to catch 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.200 them sleeping where they drive on that flat route. And 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.040 Ramsey's having none of that. You kind of watch that 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.080 all game long, the way he played back and just 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.280 eyed the quarterback and didn't take the cheese like he 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.000 is such a smart, savvy, sound player. He hangs back there, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.280 picks it off, takes it back the other way, and 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.360 puts the Dolphins back into plus territory after potentially, you know, 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.480 it could be fourteen to fourteen if he takes the 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.200 cheese and drives in that ball and they throw a 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.400 touchdown pass instead, is fourteen to seven ball and plus 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.320 territory territory a minute fifty to go, a couple of 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.320 timeouts like prime position to go double dip there and 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.280 on the other side of the third quarter break or 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.439 the halftime break in the third quarter, so massive, massive play. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.200 Coach McDaniel talked about Alan Ramsey on that pick and 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.000 his impact, but not just that, but the overall impact 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:05.880 he's had on this football team with the way he's 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.600 worked and been around the team for meetings and practices 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:09.800 despite not being out there. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.120 It's been special. Let's hear from the Dolphins head coach. 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.760 Well, he totally disappointed me. 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.680 He called that he was going to comeback and have 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:25.880 a pick six, not a pickfield goal. It's phenomenal, Like 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.520 you want to talk about something that goes above and beyond, 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:35.680 like you can't manufacture what he brought to our team 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:41.160 in any other way. His play, but the commitment it 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:46.480 took to play in that game everybody witnessed firsthand. And 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.920 you want to talk about it, not wanting to let 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:53.080 someone down as a teammate, there's a that was a 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.160 special thing to be a part of. To watch his 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.320 journey unwavering conviction from uh. 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.800 I think it was July twenty seventh. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.800 Or twenty eighth, the moment he got hurt with that 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:12.480 mindset telling his teammates, Hey, just hold it down. I'm 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.319 gonna come back and I'm gonna beat whatever timetable by 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:21.960 a month. That's that's immediately what his mindset was. And 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.600 we never gave him a timetable. And then he ended 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:32.880 up telling me last time we played the Patriots during 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.840 the game on the field that he was coming back 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.360 for this game. I shared that with a team this 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:43.080 last week. It's it's just a really it was awesome 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.920 to be a part of. And I think it speaks 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:51.320 to the locker room. And you don't do all that 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.080 if you don't, if you you're not yearning to play 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:59.000 with these people that you just you just started to 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.800 become a teammate with so big part of the reason 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:09.200 why we won as that collective nature that he epitomized. 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.520 So after the Ramsey pick, and we'll talk more about 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.680 him in a moment, the Dolphins get the ball back 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:15.360 with one point fifty. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.160 They take it into field goal range. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.400 They bog down and kick the field goal, but leave 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.600 the Patriots of twenty six seconds left, and they would 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.480 take a knee to get us to halftime, which is 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.160 where we're going to go right now and take our 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.600 first break in the podcast. Coming up on the other side, 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.160 the second half of the game flow, plus the five takeaways, 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.400 more audio from coach, and two of that's all Next 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.240 Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:35.960 by Auto Nation. 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:39.640 So Miami gets the. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.800 Football back leading seventeen to seven over the Patriots, and 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.440 I was curious how things might go in the second half. 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.320 Will the Patriots go after Ramsey at all? Will the 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.000 Dolphins be able to get push with being down so 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.640 many critical parts of the offensive line Because Rob Hunt 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.840 exited the game with an injury, Isaiah Win, Toront Armstead, 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.000 and Connor Williams all did not start the game. So 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.320 Austin Jackson, your only opening days ardor remaining on that 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.720 or I should say you're projected opening day starter on 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:07.280 that offensive line, and Howard Miami can bat those backside slants. Well, 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.480 we got answers to all those questions. They opened the 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.920 game with Lamb, Jones, Eikenberg, Cotton, and Jackson on the 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.440 offensive line, and the first play is about as bad 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.880 as it can be, a failed exchange between Tua and 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.200 Raheem Mostert that goes the Patriots away and they get 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:22.960 set up shop right in the red zone to start 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.480 the half. But then the Dolphins defense once again holds 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.320 for a field goal to keep it seventeen to ten. 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.240 After Bradley Chubb knives in for another run stop run 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.560 defense had been so good in this game, cater Coohu 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.840 stops another swing pass for just two yards, and then 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.280 third and down and three you get a sack where 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.240 Bradley Chubb was in prime position for taking away the flat, 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.360 the hot the outlet that mac Jones had after good 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.520 coverage all downfield, and that allows Christian Wilkins the extra 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.680 beat to get in for another sack to bring down 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.840 mac Jones on third and three, and they. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.480 Have to go and kick a field goal. 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:54.880 So how do you respond Miami, because you know we 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.960 turn the ball over twice here, you scored on the 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:58.880 last one to respond to it. How will they get 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.080 back from this turnover in a critical spot coming out 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.840 of the halftime break. Well, they go down and put 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.520 together a nine play drive for a touchdown. The previous 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.080 one was a fourteen play drive for a touchdown, So 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.520 Miami really piecing together these long drives to get into 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.240 the end zone. They go with the twenty two yard 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.600 pass to Tyreek Hill, some physical runs from Raheem Mostar 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.320 after the exchange fumble there where he just kind of 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.560 buries his head and picks up extra yards after contact, 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.199 and then Tua throws a pass where I thought was 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.080 really high level to identify Kyle Dugger on a blitz 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.560 and he goes a back shoulder ball up the sideline 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.720 with one on one coverage against Waddle, but he couldn't 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:34.520 quite squeeze it. 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:36.160 And then he steps off the spot. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:37.760 And throws a dart to Wadle for twenty three yards, 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.359 who goes up high and elevates and makes a big catch. 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.600 And then Chase Claypool I talked about it on Twitter. 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:44.679 He catches a pass and instead of like, you know, 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.680 running around all the guys. He's out there going the 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.080 Chris Berman sounds, just running through tackles for fifteen yards. 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.480 You get a third and goal from one inch away, 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.480
