WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Jets Week 18 All 22 Review 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:12.480 What is up, Dolphans And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.560 I am your host, Travis Wingfield, and on today's show, 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.959 it is the last all twenty two review we're going 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.880 to do on the entire team for I guess eight 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:24.600 months until the preseason comes out. We'll do, you know, 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.320 individual film breakdowns, but for now, the season finale offense 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:30.880 defense top tapes. You know, the drill from the Baptist 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.479 Health studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.400 This is the Draft Time Podcast. Ye guess. 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.680 We're gonna get into the nuts and bolts of this 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.839 game and some of the microcosms of the season, and 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.280 by large, some of the issues within the program that 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.159 I think can kind of be explained through this one 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.120 game tape. But two of the bigger issues on this 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.720 team this year. Number one, I talked about it on 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.520 Social Miami had eighty negative runs this year plays that 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.760 went for negative yards. Only one team in the last 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.840 thirteen years has more than that. The twenty seventeen Bills 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.919 had eighty one negative runs. And I think that's probably 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:10.920 a pretty big issue for an offense that wanted to 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.240 be ahead of the chains and reduced true dropback situations 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.200 where you don't have to put your quarterback in a 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.560 spot where pass rushers can tee off on them. This 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.200 entire offense has steeped around the concept of manipulating pass 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.920 rushers and taking those guys out of the game with 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.160 your schema. And you do that by staying ahead of 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.440 the chains, and the dolphins inability to get consistent running 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.600 gains on the running game and early downs put them 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.000 behind the chains frequently. It led to the kind of 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.920 give up screenplays you saw, and I thought was the 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:40.880 biggest issue the entire year. 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.000 On offense for the Miami Dolphins. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.400 The second biggest issue to me was your best player 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.160 kind of going full malcontent, right, And he didn't really 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.680 pull any punches about this after the game and then 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.600 continued trolling Dolphins fans on Twitter on Monday, which is 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.280 just a real nice treat. So we appreciate that, Tyreek, 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.320 And just to revisit the timeline of this guy here. 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.280 For the last three years, I had kind of forgotten 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.040 about all this until someone brought it up to me. 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.520 The Marina incident when he broke that influencer's leg with 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.320 that weird video, the house fire, which is probably just 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.600 a coincidence and a kind of a tragedy, right, but 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.560 it happened, and it was a distraction from the team. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.160 The divorce saga, I mean, that was strange as hell. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.639 The detainment outside of the stadium, which again over aggressive cops, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.119 but still that was a situation where the same guy 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.079 keeps showing up in these issues like it's looking the 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.280 mirror time. Right. Then you got the stuff on the field, 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.480 removing himself from games. I mean, Mike Florio wrote a 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.760 piece today about how the Dolphins could potentially go after 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.160 his guarantees because he wouldn't go into the game. I 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.200 don't know how that works, but I think it's interesting. 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.680 And then also offering up himself that he voluntarily skipped practices, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.280 offering up down the stretch last year that he wasn't 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.919 the same player playing with the same fire and that's 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.079 why his production tailed off towards the end of the year. 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.680 The perpetual trolling of our own fans, including missing practice 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.520 on Friday with an illness quote unquote to be at 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.080 his store to run credit card cards and handout shorts, 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.160 and then going back through on Monday and telling fans 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.040 to come through after his locker room tirade man the 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.400 Buffalo Bills trades Tafon Diggs when he was thirty one 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:13.120 years old. I just McDaniel's comments after the game, the 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.000 way he did addressed that, the way his teammates have 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.720 talked about him, it just seems like that's where we're 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.080 headed here. And you know, we saw the statement from 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.240 the Miami Dolphins. I'm not saying this from a place 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.000 of knowledge, but they say that there has to be 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.840 looking inward in big changes. Well, they didn't make a 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.360 change a head coach or GM. We know the quarterback's 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.600 going to be back. Who else would it be? Right? 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.720 It makes the most sense, And who do you look 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.440 at for trade partners. We're not going to get there 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.600 just yet, but if it was me, I would focus 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.960 on NFC teams. I don't want, you know, I don't 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.960 think that this guy is going to be ever the 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.960 player that he was the last couple of years. I'm 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.800 sure he'll have a honeymoon year there where it works 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.880 out the first year. But I'm only trying to deal 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.280 with NFC teams like the Commanders, for instance, Cliff Kingsbury 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.760 vertical offense that to me makes the most sense. I 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.000 keep seeing the Chargers and the Ravens floated, Why do 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.760 I want to improve an AFC roster that I have 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.000 to compete with next year NFC or bust in my opinion, 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:00.640 because you're probably not going to get much for him 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.320 in terms of draft capital. Coming back, let's go ahead 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.600 and crack into the tape. After a fun three or 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.920 four minutes or to kick off the show, and from 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.120 the jump against the New York Jets, offensively, you had 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:13.960 there's gonna be a lot of Tyree stuff in here. 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:18.159 You had a flood concept on Tyreek running a corner 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.719 route which was at best a seventy five percent effort 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.479 from him, where he winds up in the exact same 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.799 location as Gillen Wattle's over route from the other side 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.680 of the formation. So Reek runs the corner and Wattle 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.719 has the over and they both wind up on the 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.039 side of the field within about five yards of each other. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.360 And Huntley is so late to process all of this 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.479 and throws it three steps too late for John U 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.680 which takes him out of bounds on the play. The 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.640 screen that we run on the next play loses four 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.320 yards where they have three defenders outflanking our blockers to 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.360 the spot and another swing screen that is a high 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.680 and behind throw to Devon a Chian. So the opening 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.600 drive again every single game this year that TUA didn't play, Cleveland, 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.640 the Jets, Seattle, Tennessee, New England, Indianapolis. 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:02.760 It started off. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.760 Horrendously unprepared, unprofessional in so many ways, and I just 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.120 think that's something you have to figure out next year. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.520 On the very next drive, another after another run for nothing, 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.080 we go with this RPO concept where the routes and 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.479 the pattern are blocking down the field and the third 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.200 option is Tyreek, who literally walks off the line of 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.080 scrimmage and goes two yards. Okay, if you're looking at 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.640 ESPN dots, he moves two yards in the play, doesn't 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.479 even run a route, just stands there. It's a playoff 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.520 for him. I thought the story of the game offensively though, 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:34.279 outside of my frustrations with effort and design and spacing issues, 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:40.000 was again the Offens's ability to hit explosive runs paired 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.520 with their negative runs. We had four of the former, 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.039 which was explosive runs ten plus yards, and seven of 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.280 the latter negative runs. Seven negative runs. You know, he 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.040 run sixty plays in most football games. I don't know, 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.919 no math major. But that's what seven times six is 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.839 or seven times eight is fifty six, right, So almost 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.240 an eighth of your plays offensively go for a loss. 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:03.680 It's a tough way to make a living when you 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.240 have a quarterback that has to see it before he 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.880 throws it and is throwing the ball to Hoboken every 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.159 other snap. And I got to thinking about this and 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:11.960 decided to look it up again. Eighty runs for a 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.479 loss this year was the most in the NFL by nine. 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.960 Philly had seventy one negative runs. And we also dropped 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.960 down in our explosive play rate, whether the threshold was ten, 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.400 fifteen or twenty yard runs. It was pretty uniform across 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.440 the board. The dip goes from either top five and 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.599 all of those categories in twenty twenty three down to 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.040 anywhere between like seventeenth and twenty first with the negative 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.840 or with explosive runs. This year, that four to seven 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.400 disparity was the good versus bad plays, and that's kind 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.960 of what it was all year long, because when we 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.120 hit those, it's exceptional athletic ability to the perimeter from 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.520 toront Armstead from Aaron Brewer, exceptional plays at the point 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.680 of attack from Julian Hill and alec Ingold. Both guards 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.080 would reach and cut off and seal and the back 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.560 would hit it with conviction. It's pretty when it works. 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:58.719 It was just too few and far between. But on 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.680 the negatives, I thought the Jets did a really good 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.840 job of playing on our side of the line of scrimmage. 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.000 You know, we love to pass off assignments and let 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.200 guys be unblocked and kind of sift their way through 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.800 before they find another blocker coming from the backside of 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.720 the formation or just the running back by himself outruns 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.600 you to the perimeter. That's a big part of the 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.960 genius of this run scheme, going back to the Mike 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.320 Shanahan Terrell Davis years in the late nineties. But what 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.000 the Jets did was one gaped it and took on 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.560 our blockers to initiate the contact to get us out 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.840 of our tracks and get us out of our basically 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.320 our ability to move them off the football by meeting 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.920 us where we were. When you get feet stopping, whether 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.280 it's the offensive lineman, whether it's the running back on 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.760 outside zone, the entire play crumbles. So you play a 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.480 one technique to the strength that is the strong side 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.560 of the formation where you run the football. The one 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.040 technique is the guy to that side off the outside 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.679 shoulder of the center, and that limits his mobility because 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.920 he can't cut off that defender if he wants to 0:07:57.960 --> 0:07:59.760 play downhill. The best thing you can do is wham 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.440 him and just basically them get up field and don't 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.360 block him and let somebody else come back like a 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.960 split flow tight end and knock him out of the formation. 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.440 But he would smack that support block, usually that f 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.080 like alec Ingold or John hus Smith or sometimes Julian Hill. 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.400 And now the back has traffic at his feet. He 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.400 has to stop his feet against aggressively flowing linebackers who 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.040 can play that fast. Because we struggled all game long, 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.240 and on tape teams know this too. We couldn't hit 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.600 the play action throws in behind them like you can 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.240 with QB one and they are running at a sitting 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.880 duck target because the back has to stop and change 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:37.000 directions because you've already been out matching the scheme from jump. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.120 And you can point to all seven of the negative 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.640 runs as some variation of this happening, and a step further, 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.840 the Jets consistently placed a six technique, which is a 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.199 player that lines up head up over your tight end 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.720 and he would just crash the offensive tackles outside shoulder, 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.440 and it's usually the tight end's assignment. So not only 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.960 do you see the tackle have to take a different 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.679 route where he has to avoid that contact because it's 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.800 going to knock him off of his track, he loses 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.160 the leverage on the outside linebacker that he's trying to 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.319 climb up to get to because he has to run 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.600 the circuitous route around that edge crashing in. And it 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.360 also pulls the tight ends attention off of his assignment 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.160 because he's thinking, that guy's gonna go make a play, 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.080 I better get a body on him. And now we 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.520 have two guys at the point of attack who were 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.760 out of their lanes. You cannot run the ball successfully 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.280 when it looks like that, and they made it basically 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.560 impossible for Tron Armstead and for Patrick Paul on the 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.760 other side to find and get to their landmarks. And 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.120 those are two of the most athletic tackles in the 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:36.400 world of football. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:37.440 Now, I'm not. 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.720 Smart enough to tell you how to capitalize on that, 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.079 because if I was, I would be coaching in this league. 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:47.680 Because it's really just overplay. The Jets aggressively overplayed that 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.600 those looks and we had no counter to that. But 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.120 I think that's going to be the first thing that 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.360 Mike McDaniel and coaching staff see on tape and have 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.600 to get to work to in twenty twenty five. Remember 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.440 in twenty twenty two how it was two man coverage 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.280 and they came back in the open against the Chargers 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.280 and through up thirty six and two a through for 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.800 four to sixty six and three touchdowns. Like, you need 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.480 that type of adjustment and you know, gumption to attack 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.920 that weakness in your game because it was apparent really 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.840 all year long, but it was really exposed in this 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.760 final game against the Jets. But see then you also 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.840 get the sixty one yard run back to the explosives right, 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:24.000 and it's counter, which is counter is basically you sell 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.160 misdirection one way. The running back sells that direction with 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.120 his footwork, and then he cuts it back the other way, 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.520 and you basically create a cutback lane. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.520 Through the design of the play. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.839 You can get cutbacks, you know, it's called bending, where 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.240 you bend back across the formation or across the run flow. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.320 You can do it naturally through a counterplay, or rather 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.000 through your outside zone from how the play develops, or 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.240 you can design it through counter So the Jets crash 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.719 this play hard with their slants, because hey, they did 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.840 it all game long. We talked about it with Robert 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.520 Sala for four years. It's the same under Jeff Rowbrick. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.800 They're gonna slant, they're gonna one gap, they're gonna play 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.400 on your side of the line of scrimmage, and on 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.800 the counter we just say, okay, cool, go that way. 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.040 We'll ride you the entire way and wind it back 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:05.959 against the grain, and all of a sudden, your backside 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.600 contains gone and you have to chase down a four 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:12.680 to two running back with cornerbacks excellent, excellent second level 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.040 blocks on this particular play from Durham smyth from Rob Jones, 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.000 and then Devon h Chan makes the cut of the 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.440 year and takes off his most convicted run I've seen 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.040 him make this entire season. But then what do you 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.559 get when you don't score the long touchdown run Receivers 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.080 not making blocks And this is something I give Waddle 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.640 credit for almost every single week on the show. But 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.360 he took a playoff and it costs us a touchdown. 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.280 He misses a block that all he had to do 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.160 was be a turnstile and get in dj Reid's way. 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.480 Or maybe it was somebody else, maybe it's a different number, 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.480 but the cornerback that hawked devon eighth cham could have 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.679 easily been blocked out of the play from jump and 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.600 Waddle just didn't put enough effort in. So it takes 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.480 all eleven and that cost you four points because you 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.920 kicked a field goal after three negative plays. After that, 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.760 the very next play is a negative three yard run 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.199 where we motioned Julian Hill from minus split and this 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.600 is I've been talking to you guys on social about 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.400 this and I keep seeing get to get two new 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:04.600 guards and it's going to be fixed. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.640 No, dog, It's it's not that simple. 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.400 It is a scheme thing because on this on the 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.040 play after that, we lose three yards and they motioned 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.160 Julian Hill from a he's like in this minus split, 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.719 which is a flexed out like slot receiver split right, 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.920 and they motion him into a nasty split which is 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.360 not attached to the tackle, but he's close like he 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.800 could reach him within an arm and a half's length 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.400 away from the left tackle. But there's a bigger split 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.400 in that gap, that sea gap right than there is 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.240 in between your tackle and guard or your garden center. 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.760 So it's not a traditional attached why tight end. It's 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.840 the nasty split. And the Jets again they split that gap, 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.560 and this time they do it with a four eye technique. 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.400 What's a four eye technique? That guy plays the inside 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.040 shoulder of your offensive tackle and he does this little 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.840 the side shuffle step because he knows we're not going 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.040 to run the ball inside. That's the only way he 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.839 can make that play. And with that technique he knows 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.679 from his film study, they're not going to run the 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.000 ball inside because well, Devon a Chan's in the game, 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.240 he's not gonna he's not going to run through tacklers 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.720 inside for touchdowns. And he takes advantage of Toron Armstead 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.680 taking a zone step inside and he goes out to 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.120 the outside, and now Julian Hill winds up having two 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.640 unblocked guys on either side of him. And there's so 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.160 much indecision because this happens in like a half of 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.480 a second and it's either do I get a poor 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.400 effort on a block on a guy that's already beat 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.360 me across my face, or do I try to go 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:29.960 block the guy that is probably not going to even 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.480 factor in to the play because of the dude that 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.760 I just let go inside like and then he winds 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.840 up blocking neither of them. If they just align him 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.640 attached from the start, he can just turn his hips 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.840 and wall off that four eye. And if you go 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:44.960 back and watch the play on all twenty two, Devon 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.800 has a mac truck size hole between the right side 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.200 a gap with alec Ingold as a lead blocker, and 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.760 he could have turned around and moon walked his way 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.560 into the end zone it was that open. Instead, it 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.680 loses four and then we run two consecutive screens that 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.400 are just basically like, all right, we're kicking a field 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.760 goal here. It is frustrating to watch, and I know 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.559 that not everyone watching this game is steeped in film 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.640 study and trying to figure out scheme, but that is 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.040 the biggest issue in the running game is the lack 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:17.600 of defined assignments off the edge that allow defensive linemen 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.720 to crash gaps and force our running back to bubble 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.400 or stop their track or go hit a blocker who 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.560 they have to have at full speed and clear out 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.040 space that way. It's the consistent thing you see the 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.560 most on tape, and again, the guard play has to 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.080 be better. But if you watch the tape consistently, that's 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.720 the biggest issue in the running game. Paired with the 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.280 usage of an undersized running back who doesn't want to 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.520 bang it up in there, who wants to hit home runs, 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.400 it was a problem all year long. There is a 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.760 reason you had the lowest rushing yards over expected with 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.200 your starting running back this year. Right, that's not a 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.520 Rob Jones or Liam Miikenberg or Isaiah win thing. 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:51.360 Okay, we got on that. 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.280 Let's go ahead and take our first break, come back 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.600 on the other side and talk more about this run scheme, 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.760 more about the quarterback play of the offense or to 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.960 the defense as well. All that next Draft Time podca 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.000 as your host, Travis Wingfield, brought to you by AutoNation. 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.400 So we're talking about the run scheme here and what's 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.280 working and what's not working. And that sequence down around 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.080 the goal line was a good example of that. But 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.280 then on the next drive, we hit this twelve yard 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.920 run with Devon ah Chan on our first play of 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.320 the second half. That wasn't the next drive where we 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.640 crack the edge, what does that mean? The receiver comes 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.880 back in peels and just gets a body on him, 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.280 and it prevents him from playing all the way uphill 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.440 and cutting off the outside zone lane. 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:31.960 It makes all the difference in the world. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.560 You have to find a way to influence that guy, 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:38.040 whether it's with you, your misdirection, your quarterback, ball handling, 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.640 you're attached why the line of scrimmage, your tackle on 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.120 the reach block, the crack toss. You have to find 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.360 a way to influence that edge. And when we do, 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.800 we hit explosives, and when we don't, we have huge 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.360 losses that killed drives. We also took that edge out 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.840 of the play on a jet sweep to waddle for 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.240 like eight to nine yards because it happened fast. It 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.400 wasn't the slow developing. Let me continue my track. It's 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.760 just turn around hand the ball to waddle. He's running 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:03.680 four to three speed. He can beat the edge from 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.480 that position because he's faster than him. You can take 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.280 him out of the play. But when it's slow developing, 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.000 it really bogs down. I'm not sure why I organized 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.640 this this way, but I have a note here about 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.920 Snoop's first fumble, the one that we got back was 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.400 a total breakdown in pass protection. They overload the right 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.720 side and brought three against two with a nose tackle 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.880 rushing Aaron Brewers straight up, and it creates this three 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.000 on two against Pat and Isaiah and they both lock 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.480 their man down and they turned the furthest man outside free, 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.280 which is how you're supposed to do it. And when 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.760 you're hot like that with five and you know five 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.040 on five, you'd like to have it sorted with one 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.520 on one matchups. But that's why defenses do this. It's 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.960 called sim pressure to create situations where you confuse the 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.560 protection about who's coming and who's dropping, and you create 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.480 a numbers advantage to one side of the field and 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.880 you try to spring a free runner. That's the entire genesis, 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:55.360 the entire thesis behind sim pressures. But we had the 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.960 running back to the weak side away from this three 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.680 by two look and he releases right into a route. 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.120 So when you get that three by two for the quarterback, 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.320 you have to know that you have an unblocked man, 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.679 and when you do, you want him to be in 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.520 your face so it's not a blindside hit. And that's 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.760 where he is so you can see it. It crashes 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.920 in and they get the ball out for a huge sec. 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.119 It's bad quarterback play, the wrong protection, wrong read of 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.720 the rush, the wrong execution when hot, wrong, wrong, wrong, 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:20.920 You're out three strikes. 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.520 It's the way box style, the way block style. 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.119 All right. Again, I apologize for the organization of the 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:27.960 notes here, just by the Charlie Kelly drop. Thank you 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:29.880 Charlie for that. I went back to the run game 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.080 here for some reason. But it's just it's simple, guys. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.480 It's the biggest issue is almost every run play comes 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.439 with motion attached to it, and it creates these moving, 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.920 fluctuating assignments that change on any given snap. If you 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.720 watch a defensive line when they shot, they shift and 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.280 adjust where their alignments are a pre snap. They're trying 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.800 to confuse protection schemes or run blocking schemes, but we're 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.720 doing it naturally because of the motions. And these guys 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.440 have just struggled to pick it up on the fly 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.240 all year long. Go watch Julian Hill's tape. Some of 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.280 his blocks are wear it up, drive the man to 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.320 Staten Island, out of the meadowlands. 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:04.520 It's a thing of beauty. 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:06.840
