Thanks when when win win win in a 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.120 row to get Miami to seventeen six in the post 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.680 Halloween portion of the schedule in the Brian Flores era, 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:55.840 they are cooking. They are red hot with their fifth 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.360 trade victory all the way into the bye week here 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.840 into the stretch run of the season. We're gonna talk 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.200 about that, the five takeaways from my nine victory over 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.760 the New York Giants. We'll talk about who shine the brightest, 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.040 and we'll play a segment from the fifth quarter post 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.600 game show on w q A M with myself Seth 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.840 and o J from the post game show from the 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.080 Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:23.760 is the Drive Time Podcast. I want to go ahead 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.440 and start here with the tip of the cap to 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.080 Coach Flores, who all week long made sure the message 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.280 was about focusing on the New York Giants, about the 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.560 people that they have on the sideline who, regardless of 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.560 their record, can compete at the highest level. That's what 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.120 the National Football League is all about. And we talked 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.319 about this on the post game show as Seth, O 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.199 J and I broke down Brian Flores media after the game, 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.680 and we all could not have agreed more how good 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.160 that was leading into the game and now with a 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.720 bye week for coach to be very complementary of his 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.800 own guys after this victory. But talking about the benefit 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.400 of the late by a whole bunch more. You should 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.280 go check out right now on the Miami Dolphins YouTube channel. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.000 But back to the point, and you are all I 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.880 assume lifelong fans of the NFL or at least close 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.960 to it, right And if you're not and you're new, 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.760 welcome in. We're gonna pretty much help you understand the 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.240 game better on this podcast or try to as we 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.280 go into the nitty gritty here on Drivetime with Travis Wingfield, 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.880 presented by Auto Nation, part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.960 But for the long time fans this you know this 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.920 is the NFL games are usually pretty tightly contested, and 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.960 I think it was important for Flow to maintain that 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.919 message not just with his team, but with the way 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.520 he portrayed it to the media throughout the course of 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.760 the week when he met with us, because and O 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.519 J said that it can be worse. But I raised 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.440 the point about how it's not just the negative outside 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:50.120 noise that can be, for lack of a better term, poisonous, 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.040 but the positive press clippings can be even worse than 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:55.800 the bad ones. And it goes back, of course, that 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.840 rat poison comment by Nick Saban. He famously muttered that 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.600 a few years back, talking about how some of that 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.520 praise for players can be like rat poison when it 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.080 gets in and they start thinking highly of themselves and 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.800 maybe maybe become complacent with how they've played. That's not 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.760 how you progress, that's not how you win in this league. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.440 That's why you have a turn the page Tuesday type 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.000 of deal where you get onto the next and focus 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.120 on the next, and we saw that play out in 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.440 this game. This was a tightly contested game for sixty 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.160 minutes all the way to the finish. And that's who 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.679 the Giants have been for really the entire season. Their 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.600 defeats this year eight points, eleven points, three points, a 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.440 four point blowout, followed by twenty seven point blow out 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.480 mid season, but then a win and then a three 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.520 point lost to the high powered Kansas City Chiefs. They've 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.840 been competitive, so to think you're gonna roll into a 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.360 game and just win doesn't work like that. We saw 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.240 it play out. Nineteen first downs to sixteen first downs. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.320 The Giants were six of sixteen on third down, Miami 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.520 was six of fifteen. Two hundred and ninety seven total 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.960 yards from Miami to to fifty for the Giants, but 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.520 Miami found the plays when they had to as a 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.600 fifth straight win, up to six and seven heading into 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.760 the bye week, and the Jets come to town in 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.560 Week four. Team after the bye week, enjoy it kicked 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.320 the feed up for one week here and take a 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.360 Sunday off. It's been a fun month plus let's keep 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.360 it rolling. But first, the five takeaways and take away 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.600 number one. The defense does it again. It started by 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.320 playing more sort of this bend but don't break approach 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.960 a good I thought overall comprehensive plan to play that 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.800 way with the Giants being down so many weapons on offense, 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.680 and you heard coach Florence talking about the names they 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.800 have on that offense between Barkley and Gala Day and 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.560 Cadarius Tony and Sterling Shepherd and Evan Ingram and Kyle 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:43.160 Rudolph Davante Booker. They have so many players on that offense. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.400 And to come into the game without Cadarius Tony, without 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.400 Sterling Shepherd, we saw lots of two high safety looks. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.760 We saw Nick Needham out there at times in that 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.640 kind of deep safety role. Why Eric Rowe and some 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.560 of the three safety looks rolled around down by the 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.600 box and did what he does so well. But they 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.000 didn't allow a single touchdown in this game. And in fact, 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.119 they allowed just to field goal in the first half, 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.920 and then this in the second half field goal three 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.440 and out, three and out, punt three and out field 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.760 goal off of a short drive after a fifty two 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.560 yard Jason Sanders missed field goal put them at the 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.480 minus forty two where you're really a couple of first 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.520 downs away from a field goal, and then that field 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.880 goal at the end of the game that was missed 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.200 to keep the Giants off the board their eleven point 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.440 uh margin, and the Dolphins go into victory formation. That 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.159 will play when your defense performs like that. And we 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.560 know about the ball hawks in the secondary, they're well 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.400 documented at this point. But did you know that Miami 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.000 entered this game as the tenth ranked run defense in 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.280 the National Football League in terms of yards per game? 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.240 Just nine more yards today for the Giants, and a 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.520 lot of that was late in this game. The Dolphins 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.520 just wins so many of those rundowns. In fact, they 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.400 are the best first down run defense rather in terms 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.840 of yards per play in the National Football League, at 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.240 least they were entering the game. I cannot imagine that 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.239 change because how about some of the first down plays 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.040 we saw here from the Miami Dolphins defense on Sunday 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.880 in their victory over the visiting New York Giants. Let's 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.000 do the first three quarters, since that last drive was 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:11.880 a little bit of a different game at that point, 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:13.760 as you have a two score lead late in the 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.800 fourth quarter, the approach changes, if not just slightly so. 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.960 The first down plays three yards, three yards, ten yards, 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:27.600 two yards, interception minus one yard incomplete incomplete, incomplete, eleven 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:33.279 yards no gain, twenty three yards incomplete incomplete. That's four 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.320 team plays. That's fifty one yards. I mean, yeah, the 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.520 twenty three yard or kind of affected my point a 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.239 little bit, but even still, that's three point six yards 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.920 per play on first down. And before the twenty three 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.039 yard or it was twenty eight yards on eleven plays, 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.440 which is just two point five five yards per play. 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.239 And with the way this defense flies around on third 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.760 and long, boy, you love to see them get set 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.160 up and teet up on first down like they've been 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.680 doing throughout the course of this five game winning streak. 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.600 Over the five game winning streak that helps you get 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:07.200 to this nine points, ten points, seventeen points, ten points, 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.120 nine points. That is eleven points per game, fifty five 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.920 points over a five game stretch. And again, didn't allow 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:20.000 a single touchdown in this game. The individuals Xavien Howard 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:25.320 six career interception in his career game. That's the fastest 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.720 in the National Football League since nine like it was 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.760 last week. Andrew Van Gigel made five total tackles in 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.440 the game, but it felt like fifteen. He was setting 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.760 that hard edge. In fact, he got my game ball 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.200 on the post game show on five sixty with Seth 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.320 and o J because it felt like he was making 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.320 a play every series the past defense on third down 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.600 instead of a fourth and short for the New York Giants, 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.880 setting that hard edge, getting on the upfilled shoulder of 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.520 that either tight end or tackle or the tight end 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.600 h bat coming across the other side of the formation, 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.120 getting off those blocks and making big plays. And I 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.040 think the reason it felt that way was because the 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.640 five tackles seemed to be crucial, not just at the 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.040 time of the game the down distance, but with the 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.119 elements around him. Like there was a play where Gink 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.680 comes off a block and it looks like Barkley has 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.960 a pretty strong c gap to bust through that thing, 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:13.800 and we know what he can do with the football 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.120 in his hands, but Gink, all he does is shed 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.400 the block and get in there for a tackle around 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.880 the shoestrings of Sae Kwon Barkley and save a potentially 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.040 long gain for the gifted running back. Seeler and Wilkins 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.400 all over the field all game long, all season long. 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.440 Ray Kwon Davis, same story. Adam Butler that sack, He 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.440 almost felt that thing up in the press box. Jeroe 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.679 Baker and Land and Roberts both playing good ball. Baker 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.480 was some pressure, Roberts encourage. Damn Near had himself a 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.600 pick in this game. Had some good run defense as well. 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.960 I thought Eric Rowe looked to be the twenty one 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.360 year old version of himself. He was fast in this game, 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.400 flying all over the football field, plenty of key tackles, 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.240 especially at the point, playing up around the line of 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.920 scrimmage in that role that he plays so often. Nick 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.000 Needham chipping in from multiple roles. What a selfless team 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.800 player he is. Byron Jones, kind of finding a rhythm 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:01.120 after or a bit of a tough start there on. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.360 Kenny Golladay who had a couple of nice catches early on, 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.760 but nothing late. And how about Jalen Phillips. Actually, let's 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.719 go ahead and kick off takeaway number two with this? 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.640 How about them rookies? My goodness? Actually, first, why don't 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.480 we go ahead? And hear from coach Flores, who was 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.280 asked post game about the idea of the rookie Wall 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.800 and how he felt his rookies from this past draft 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.559 class responded to the you know, the idea that the 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:28.440 college football season technically ended on Saturday, pre bowl season, right, 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.040 so their regular seasons are finished except for Army maybe 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.599 one of the best games on the history of the 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.240 planet in terms of football. How did he feel that Jalen, Jalen, 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.480 Javon Liam and of course Hunter Long, the fifth draft 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.120 pick playing currently for the Miami Dolphins, how they respond 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.520 to this possible rookie wall idea. Here's coach, Yeah, I 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.719 don't I don't really talk about it too much. I 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.600 just we need those guys to, um, you know, play 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:57.960 for us, and we'll play well. So I think thankfully 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:02.920 they get this week to you know, rest up. Heal up. Mmm. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.520 I think all three of those excuse me, four of 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.560 those guys and really five of those guys including Hunter, 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.120 and we had some others trail as well. So I 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.400 mean this is you know, these guys, they work hard, 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:19.680 it's important to them. They um, they they they're all sponges. 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:25.480 I mean we said this really the entire year. Um, 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.160 it's a long season. You know, it's hard to you know, 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.800 to to to gage that and to know, you know, 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.920 how their bodies are feeling. But it looks like they 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:34.920 got energy, they got juice either there and you know 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.040 they got the right uh, the right approach, which leads 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.720 me to believe that you know, they're ready to go, 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.000 and we're gonna need them to be ready to go. 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.880 I'm seeing the same things that you know we saw 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.559 earlier in the year. I just I mean, I continue 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.200 to say this. It's you know, there's a there's a 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.400 process there, and then um, I think a lot of 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.560 people look at the production and I think that that's 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.400 you know, that's the kind of final analysis of a player. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.640 But I think he's he's you know, I haven't watched 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.760 the film, but I know there's some other games that 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.719 based on some things that I saw already that um, 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.680 he did better in some instances and some other things 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.679 and some other games. You know, we had some production today. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:19.960 Um we need that. And he's doing a good job. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.280 He's doing a very good job. We had a lot 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.679 of guys that were doing a good job that aren't 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.160 getting you know, you know the stats and the flash stats, 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:30.760 but I don't think we got a lot of guys 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:35.160 playing well. And he certainly one. That last follow up 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.520 question there was about Jalen Phillips, but of course coach 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.400 passed the praise to his entire class and really his 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.120 entire team, as they have earned that praise over this 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.079 five game winning streak. But back to the rookies here 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.280 real quick, and we'll go ahead and start with Jalen Phillips. 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.480 I mean, set the Miami Dolphins rookie sack record on 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.200 Sunday for this eight and a half sacks on the season. 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.920 My goodness, he's playing really well. And you watch the 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.800 way they use him in multiple capacities as a stunter, 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.040 as a kind of twister on those stunts, to help 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.599 set picks for manual og ball off the edge, to 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.480 loop inside, to be a true pass rusher off the edge, 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.560 to kind of work against the left tackle, to work 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.880 against chips, to work against backs coming up and trying 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.560 to support in past protection. I mean, the way you 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.439 can really see this, the way people impact games is 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.920 by how the opposition treats them. I mean, you're getting 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.440 double teams and chips on jan Phillips. That takes a 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.199 lot of attention towards him and gives other guys opportunities 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.880 and that's how this entire operation works, and coach Flow 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.240 mentioned the process there. That's how they want to play it. 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.240 They want to give multiple people opportunities to make plays 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.000 because of the entire team capacity of how they built 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.480 this defense, how they built this team, and Jalen Phillips 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.120 fits right into that mold. Of course, he's a fantastic 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.120 pass rusher right now with the eight and a half 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.079 sacks I think it's five or six games in a 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:48.679 row now with with a sack for the young man. 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.160 So he is coming on strong here at the right time. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.240 Over this win streak. He's been a big part of 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:57.040 that now, so too has that rookie receiver Jalen Waddle. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.480 Eighties six catches in his rookie season at also is 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.560 a Miami Dolphins rookie franchise record. Jervis Landry had eighty 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:08.040 four back and he broke the record on a catch 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.080 where he was injured. He goes down, comes off the 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:12.760 field and he's kind of walking over and then he 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.200 starts to jog off the field and as the fans 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.600 see that, they start chanting whoa, who oh, And that 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.000 was my favorite moments of the entire game. He's hyping 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:22.840 the crowd up, pumping the arm up, and then he 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.960 runs back onto the field helmet in hand to an ovation. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.200 And if you haven't seen it yet, go check out 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.360 two h and Waddles Fox interview with chriss A Thompson 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.960 that was on the pregame show on Sunday morning or 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.360 Sunday afternoon. Check that off you have not seen so 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.240 because the chemistry there between those two guys has really 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.560 come on to play here. I mean there's he's just 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.160 he's getting after it right now. He's making tough catches. 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.200 As he's loosening up and gets back into the game, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.880 You're thinking, what a tough, competitive type of dude. I mean, 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.679 we talked about the the attention that Jalen Phillips commands. 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.720 They had a safety over the top on Waddle almost 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.240 the entire game. It's crazy the amount intention he was 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.240 commanding in that game. He still finds a way to 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.199 create space and eat up yardage underneath. If teams want 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.160 to go man and getting a foot race with him, 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.760 try it. We saw it last week. That's what happened 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.000 against the Panthers in that game. Defenses they've got to 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.640 be so scheduled incut routes, because when the protection is 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.640 there and the ball is perfect, look out your one 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.960 flip tackle away from the big play that kind of 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.800 can change the game. He's doing it all right now. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.760 He's just twenty five yards shy of Chris Chambers as 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:29.280 rookie receiving record at three yards to go, and there's 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:33.160 four games to go. How about the other draft pick here, 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.920 highly drafted for the Miami Dolphins, Javon Holland. He had 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.880 another great pass breakup, and this one was on a 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.080 very clean and well struck, targeted hit where he puts 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.080 his shoulder into the kind of back area of the 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.840 receiver and that separates his hands causes the football to 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.000 fall harmlessly incomplete on a third down. Get off the field. 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:53.960 He has another pressure on a third down where he 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.240 gets hands in the face and then doesn't put the 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.800 hands on the head of quarterback Mike Glennan, puts the 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.840 hit on his mid set action, forcing errant throw. Get 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.040 off the field. And then that great pass break up 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.040 down there on the end zone with Xavier Howard where 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.480 it looked like Javon might come down with his third 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.480 pick of the season. He didn't, but he had to 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.600 pass breakup. He is as involved as anybody on this 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.200 team right now. Liam Eichenberg, I can't give you much 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.440 of a take on the offensive line after watching the game. 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.320 I need the AL twenty two to do that. But 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.000 he played well and Hunter Long gets his first catch 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.040 of the career for for that rookie tad and at 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.360 a Boston college with the rookie class man. They're doing 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.040 it to records today on the same day in week 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:35.239 number thirteen, game number thirteen for franchise rookie records, so impressive. 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.800 Takeaway number three. It's two a time, fourth quarters to 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.400 a time. Giants were you know, in the course of 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.880 this game, I thought playing similar to what the Dolphins 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.920 defense did before the pressure kind of got cranked up, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.480 playing more off and a little bit safer and giving 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.680 attention to Jalen Waddle, and he was doing a good 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.280 job taken with the defense gave him. He was five 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.480 in that first half. No mistakes. That's two weeks in 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.520 a row, had a fumble lost or a turnover, an 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.280 interception whatever, from from to a tongue by loa, just 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.400 playing patient, not making the mistake, taking with the defense plays, 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.920 what where what the defense is giving you, especially when 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.920 your defense on the other side is playing well, to 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.680 know how to you know. The term game manager is 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.040 looked upon negatively, but I think it's one of the 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.880 most important aspects of playing the position, is managing the 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.760 game and understanding the situation of the game. And Brian 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.120 Flores talks about that and to have mentioned it postgame 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:28.000 about how they play a very specific situational type of 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.479 football where they want to be aware of all situations 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.840 at all time. And I really thought you saw that 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.640 throughout the course of this game, especially early on, where 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.200 there was not really many opportunities for the Giants to 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.600 create negative plays because the Dolphins had a plan and 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.840 an approach where the ball came out quick, where they 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.480 ran the ball in certain down distances, where they converted 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.560 some of those third downs. And it wasn't the prettiest 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.480 half of football offensively from Miami, but eventually they got 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.400 things going there on that second or that last drive 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.240 of the half where they go fourteen plays to kind 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.440 of start off the middle eight minutes of the game. 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.360 We talked about that, right the last four minutes of 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.400 the first half, the first four minutes of the second half, 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.280 and on a four team play eighty nine yard drive 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.000 that choose up almost four minutes of clock and leaves 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.040 the Giants with just twenty six seconds. On the other end, 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:13.960 when the Dolphins, we're gonna get the football in the 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.119 third quarter and New York goes down neils in the 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.880 football after that touchdown drive, so you give yourself back 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.320 to back possessions, and on that four team play drive 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.680 to a goes eleven for twelve for seventy six yards 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.439 and the touchdown throw to mac Hollins. Talk about finding 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.240 a rhythm. He's over in that first half. He would 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.800 not finish that way. Just missed that record by only 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.120 I think it was six percentage points in this game, 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.760 as he was like seventy three point five percent, so 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.040 six and a half percentage points from becoming the first 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.600 quarterback ever to complete eight percent or more of his 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.200 passes in three straight games. It did not quite happen. 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.320 He does have a chance to become the first quarterback 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.560 to do it four times, or rather tie to be 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.560 the first quarterback to do it four times in the 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.119 NFL with or more completion. He did it in the 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.879 Atlanta game earlier as well, But anyway, that kind of 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.800 slow approach of the game that that good drive to 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.160 to to end the first half. We saw it kind 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.480 of fall off there in the third quarter. Just was 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.040 not a very characteristic third quarter operation from the Dolphins offense. 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.680 Some drop throws I thought two was off the market 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.040 a couple of times. There was a pass on third 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.240 down to Wattle where he had some space out wide. 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.760 He threw it high, probably should have been more outside 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:19.840 to run him to the sideline, and the marker he 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:21.359 has to go up for the catch makes it, but 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.480 he's just short of the sticks. Kasikian Waddle both had drops. 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.720 Wilson had himself a drop in that in that quarter 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:28.520 as well. So the offense just a little bit kind 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.840 of stuck in the mud. But back to Tua and 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.400 that's where the title of the takeaway starts. In that 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.000 fourth quarter, after all that adversity, he kind of faced 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.840 and overcame and we're still in a tight contested ball 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.920 games by the fact that the defense is playing so well. 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.800 But once again in the fourth quarter, seven of nine 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.800 eight nine passing yards and touchdown pass to help close 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.040 out the Giants. To boost the fact that he is 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.200 the highest rated fourth quarter passer in the national Football 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:57.080 League since n in the game's most critical quarter. It's 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.000 so impressive what he's able to do in those clutch moments. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.000 It's kind of who he was back in college. He's 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:03.159 been showing a little bit of that here in the 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.040
