Let's go ahead and kick this 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.640 thing off with some audio from coaches and players here 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:12.120 on a Friday, win win, Win win edition of the 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.920 Drivetime Podcast. And one of the things we're gonna get 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.280 into heavy on this podcast was the versatility the mixing 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.160 of the offensive personnel groupings and some wrinkles on the 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.960 offensive side to produce the thirty one points on this 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:29.039 Thursday night football Dolphins win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here's 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.720 coach Flores on the Dolphins coaching staff getting this team 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.200 ready on a short week. Well, we got all too 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.920 a good start, something we've you know, talking about. You know, 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.679 I think our staff did a good job offensively, defensively 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.120 in the Kidning game in a short week, getting the 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:47.240 guys ready to go, so you know, change Josh Danny. 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.240 A lot of credit goes to them for the for 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.360 the for the work they did this week. Um, but 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.640 also the credit goes to the players. I mean they 0:01:55.640 --> 0:02:01.000 put the work in and did a job with the communication, 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.440 the fundamentals, techniques, and they made plays out there tonight. 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.040 And but it was a total team effort offense, defense 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.400 and special teams. Let's go ahead and here next from 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:15.240 coach Flora's on that Dolphin's pass rush, two takeaways, four 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:19.440 sacks and ten hits on Gardner Minshew, Yeah, it's something 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.919 we've been working on. You know, anytime they get pressure, 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.359 every team wants to get pressure on the quarterback. We're 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.880 able to do that, you know, tonight and you know 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.600 there's some mistesses where it could have been better, but 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:36.320 definitely improved from previous weeks. They've got a good old line, 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.280 they've got a good quarterback, they got good skilled guys. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.000 So that was it was a tough test for us. 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:45.160 But you know, guys, they came ready to play tonight. 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.440 They played fast, they played physicals, a lot of energy 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.560 in the field. I'm sure you guys could see that 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.440 they were. They were fired up and they worked for 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.359 you know, it was a short week and we put 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.519 a lot of time in as a team and you know, 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.440 they did all out of extra work this week. It 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.400 was important for them and they saw the food to 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.760 the labor and scoring thirty one points allowing just thirteen. 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.960 We had the great punt from Matt Hawk that penned 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.600 the Jaguars deep. That complimentary football coach Flora says, it's 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.480 how you win football games in this league, alright. I mean, 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.800 complmarry football is always I saw you win in this league. 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.359 So you can have a good you know, back them 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:27.040 up or win the field position battle and when the 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.160 time of possession battle by getting first downs offensively and 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.240 turn the ball over defensively and that's how you that's 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.200 how you win in this league. And I was I 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.680 was a good played by calm by by Kyle. But 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.680 it wasn't just calm. I mean it was It's never 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.680 just one personal play. I'm not sure who who else was. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.680 I haven't watched it yet, but I'm sure someone else 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.960 had a really good rush that might have pulled somebody 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.360 else off of Kyle and popped in there. But it 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.160 was a good individual play. And we need. What we 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.480 need is on every snap eleven you know, really good 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.120 individual plays and love the guys trying to win their matchup. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.440 We get that consecutively, we get good results. We normally 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.080 get good results. Sometimes you don't. When you don't, you 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.280 just move on to the next play and believe that 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.000 get eleven guys on the same page in the right direction, 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.599 good communication, good fundamentals, good technique of people. And I 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.360 think the guys believe that if we do that, will 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.560 have good plays. Um. So it's important for each of 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.599 them too to try to do that, not only for 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.960 themselves but for the guy next to Let's go ahead 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.400 and here now from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, and how about 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.800 that quarterback eighteen sixty yards three touchdowns on the day, 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.080 one rushing and a bunch of rushing yards to go 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.560 along with that. I tweeted out after his first drive 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.240 how efficient he was in that drive that continued all 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.600 night long. As the quarterback tells us here with his 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.840 first question, it was good. I felt like we were 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.680 efficient today. We had a good game play and we 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:53.560 followed it. Guys made plays and you know, the second half, 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.680 running the clock out a little bit and that stuff. Um, 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.839 but I thought, I thought our guys up front us 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.520 but came to play today. If it's you mentioned the 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.320 game plan there a little bit, and you guys ran 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.560 some stuff that look new to the untrained eye, some 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.880 full house backfield, some pistol that end around a Jachim Grant. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.480 I just want to get your take on the ability 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.159 to get that game plan sorted out in such a 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.000 short week and how the coaching staff did with that. Yeah, 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.120 it was obviously a very short week. So to have 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.880 a few new wrinkles, I think it, you know, speaks 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.920 to the creativity of our coaching staff and also just 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.719 speaks to the guys that we have in there being 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.240 able to do things like that, and you know, for 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:31.680 us to be able to trust that they're going to 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.160 be able to get in there and figure things out. So, um, 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.680 you know, Jachim made a couple of nice plays today. Davante, 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.120 we really just spread it around in the first half, 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.320 and uh, it was just it was nice to see 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.280 everybody involved in the creativity. And uh, you know that 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.640 kind of stuff on a short week, which in and 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.039 how about fits go ahead and adding something here to 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.719 the idea or the question about him having a totally 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.880 complete game on this Thursday night and football victory for 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.599 the Miami Dolphins. Here's fits on the one thing reporter 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.359 forgot to mention that made his game completely complete. You 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.680 know what, you know you can add to that which 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.200 rarely if you look at a lot of footage to me, 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.760 you will rarely see me slide. And today I also slit, 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.120 So you can throw that one in there. Um, that 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.599 may not happen again all a year. So there were 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.640 a lot of different things. That was my third career reception. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.159 I was glad I actually got positive yards on that one. 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.960 But yeah, I think running and you know, trying to 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.279 throw a block here there and getting hit that stuff 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:34.919 helps me get into the game a little bit. And 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.799 how about what happened between Gardner Minshew and Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.359 postgame when the two were seen laughing and chatting it 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.480 up after the Dolphins victory on Thursday night. Yeah, I just, 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.960 I mean, we said good game to each other, and 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.279 I just I told him I I appreciate the stash. 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.600 I like to look. Um, you know, I think I 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.680 think he rocks it. I think he owns it and 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.240 that's kind of his trademark deal. Um, it's not necessarily 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.880 to look for me, but I think it's I think 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.560 it's awesome. Okay, So we have a lot to get 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.479 to on this podcast. From the postgame report, some stats, 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.320 will read, some more quotes from the players. If you 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.600 guys want to see the entirety of those press conferences, 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.680 check back on Miami Dolphins dot com and the YouTube channel. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.000 We are certainly going to have some of those for 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.680 you guys available, probably on Friday, I imagine we don't 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.920 get them out late on this Thursday night. Actually, as 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.560 I'm talking to you right now, it is Friday morning, 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.800 So go ahead and check out you too Miami Dolphins 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.440 dot Com for the rest of those Dolphins press conferences. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.680 As for this game, let's go ahead and break this 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.080 thing down and talk about it, because man, what a 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.720 fun game. Right out of the shoot. Dolphins come down, 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.320 score three consecutive touchdowns to open this thing up and 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.360 wind up with the thirty one win to get back 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.240 to one and two with a long or I guess 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.640 I should say a mini by week here coming into 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.640 week four for the Seattle Seahawks. But in this game, 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.560 the Dolphins march eight and seventy five yards on the 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.200 first three drives. It was the second time since at 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.360 least two thousand, as far as we go back to 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.920 track that stat the Dolphins scored touchdowns on the first 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.560 three drives of the game two thousand eleven. That Matt 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.200 Moore Reggie Bush game at Buffalo was the other. And 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.600 my goodness, the stats in this game definitely go in 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.559 the Dolphins favor. They had eight team plays to start 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.160 the game and twelve of those plays resulted in first downs. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.000 You probably heard on the broadcast they didn't face a 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.720 third down to the very end of that opening drive. 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.760 Miami was seven for thirteen on third downs, one for 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.200 one on fourth down, so better than fifty percent converting 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.440 on those money downs. Jacksonville was just three out of 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.640 thirteen on third and fourth down to Miami defense putting 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.880 the clamps on their Miami only had two yards of offense, 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.960 but you heard Fitzpatrick talked about their efficiency. We heard 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.360 Brian Flores talking about in his press conference as well. 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.400 There were some things he would like to have cleaned up. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.040 I want to see a better running game in the 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.760 second quarter, third quarter, fourth quarter, and beyond. After that 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.320 strong start on the ground, but still Miami rush was 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.439 for one hundred and thirty eight yards passed for one 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.880 fifties six compared to Jacksonville's three eighteen yards. Miami had 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.520 to four but we ran fifties seven plays, so they're 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.000 sixty three, so just a smidge were five yards per 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.080 play for the Jaguars offense. A nice uh dip in 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.000 that staff from the Dolphins from a week ago. Good 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.200 job with a defense on that side of the football. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.320 Dolphins got two takeaways, They sacked Menshoo four times, hit 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.920 him ten times, as we talked about earlier in the podcast. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.200 So those your pass rush getting cranked up. Dolphins had 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.880 not turned the football over and Fitzpatrick took one sack, 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.640 but I think that was one of those plays, or 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.600 maybe he wanted to wind some clock there. We probably 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.599 should have asked him that on that press conference. But 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.000 he took a sack there towards the end of the 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.280 game with that three touchdown lead, when he probably could 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.400 have passed the ball or thrown it away, I should say, 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.160 but he takes the sacks. So those are one sack 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.199 on the board. So really in earnest you know, no turnovers, 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.360 that one sack a great showing. Their Dolphins out possessed 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:42.880 the Jaguars two thirty eight and they had fewer penalties. 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.920 Miami had six penalties for fifty one yards. Jacksonville had 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.480 eight for sixty three and you guys heard the stat 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.240 in the game. Fitzpatrick hit his final nine passes last 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.719 week against Buffalo and picks up right where he left 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.160 left off here in this game, with completing the first 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.720 twelve passes of the game that gave him twenty one 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.360 consecutive completions. He threw for a hundred and twenty seven 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.760 yards in that first half and a pair of touchdowns. 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.080 His first half passer rating was one point oh. That's 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.000 the fifth highest first half passer rating of his career. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.800 Of course, one fifty eight point three is a perfect 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.680 passer rating. So Fitz has had some big time first 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.240 halfs in his career man and coming into this night, 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.520 Fits had three of his last four Thursday night football 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.280 games produced a passer rating of better than one oh five. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.480 Will go ahead and make it four out of five 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.560 as he of course goes way over the clip there 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.480 for a passer rating of one oh five in this 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.720 game against Jacksonville. You heard the quote there. He enjoys playing. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.120 It's why he still plays, especially when you are having 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.320 success driving the football down the field scoring touchdowns. I 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.120 feel like the luckiest guy in the world, he says. 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.200 Sometimes getting to play football with my friends, the thirty 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.160 seven year old having a great time there and Mike 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.040 get sick. He joked. Afterwards, he called him thirty eight 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.520 on an answer to a question, So he's thirty eight, 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.560 but he probably plays like he's twenty three years old. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.680 And then reporter corrected Mike Gassicky on that particular moment 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.599 and said, you're making him older than he actually is. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.400 He's only thirty seven years old, and Mike said that, well, 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.560 he looks like he's forty eight years old. So definitely 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.000 a good rapport, good joking there. He talked about all 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.800 the chess bumps and the and the high fives and 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.240 they just going crazy on the sideline together. This team 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.360 certainly has a lot of fun. They love playing for 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.400 the guy. I think you saw that on his rushing 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.600 touchdown when he gave the ball to Ted Carriss on 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.320 the ground after a great pancake block from Ted Carriss. 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.880 The entire Dolphins team mob Fitzpatrick on that touchdown run, 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.480 including Christian Wilkins number ninety four gets in there for 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.440 the celebration as he always does. But the Dolphins last week, 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.640 we talked about it on the podcast. They really kind 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.720 of got going in the late part of that second 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.400 quarter and had some nice sustained drives in the second 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.520 half of that Buffalo game. And it just picks up 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.719 right here again. Eighty and seventy five yards again, the 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.200 first time they scored three touchdowns to open the game 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.520 since two thousand eleven. Very impressive start there for the Dolphins. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.200 And this is of course Fitzpatrick's third stint with offensive 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.160 coordinator Chan Gailey, who was previously with the Buffalo Bills 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:57.920 in the New York Jets, and he broke out the 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.880 bag of tricks in this game tonight, man, we saw 0:11:59.920 --> 0:12:02.000 the very first play of the game. They opened up 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.360 in pistol formation, which is just something unique, another wrinkle, right, 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.520 something the defense has to look at and say, we 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.360 hadn't seen that before on tape, and if we did, 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.520 it was something new with a different wrinkle. They go 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.120 down that later later in that drive show the full 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.360 house package with a couple of tight ends and a 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.600 running back in the backfield behind Fitzpatrick to run the football. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.839 They come back to that package later. We saw a 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.120 twelve personnel in the game plenty as we usually do, 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.040 thirteen personnel with three tight ends on the field, and 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.240 they had that awesome misdirection play from Jachem Grant of 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.480 twenty nine yards where he basically didn't even get touched 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.000 until about twenty yards down the field and nobody had 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:36.719 to hit a seal block on the edge because the 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.560 Jags defense flew or flowed rather to that completely. And 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.880 Jesse Davis and his press are talked about how we 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:44.840 kind of had an idea what they were going to do. 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:46.760 They wanted to attack our gaps and kind of get 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.640 that penetration, and they just used the aggressiveness against them. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.520 Go missdirection get the big plays that way based off 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.800 the scheme and the design of the play. Great job 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.600 tonight by chan Gailey. He'll be our takeaways here in 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.160 just one moment. And as the passing game was a 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.559 crankin all night long, it was the running game that 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.400 really got things going early on in this contest, with 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.439 a tone being set earlier. Running back Miles Gaskon had 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.439 eight carries for thirty five yards on that opening march. 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.120 He talked a little bit postgame about what that offensive 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.400 line does for him in terms of creating gaps and 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.920 creating lanes, saying that it's all about leverage. As a 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:20.360 running back, you have to be able to read the 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.280 leverage of the defender on the block, and these guys, 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.640 he says, makes that job very easy. I asked him 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.800 about that, about his ability to bend back on those runs, 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.480 because you have three options as a running back. You 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.720 can bounce where you get it outside to the play side. 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.440 You can bang where you just stick it up in 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.280 the middle and try to get the yards that way, 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.320 or you can bend it back against the grand against 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.840 the formation and go to the backside of the formation. 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.600 And Gascon really has the vision and the quick feet 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.600 and the small making himself skinny getting into the gap 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.280 to make all of that very effective. He talked about 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.800 how good of a job this offensive line does creating 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.600 that leverage and making those gaps easier for him to read, 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.679 which expounds his vision to make it even better than 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.440 really it already is. And that's me adding that part 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.880 there at the end. Didn't say that himself talking about 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.840 his own vision, but the way Miles Gaskin creates yardage 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.920 is based upon quickness, acceleration, that vision, and we're seeing 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.800 that on display so far through three games for your 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.520 Miami Dolphins. I talked about Ted Carriss's pancake block in 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.600 the end zone that was so much fun to watch. 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.040 Got that twenty seven third quarter lead on that pancake 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.120 on the Ryan Fitzpatrick rushing touchdown, and the dolphins ninety 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.520 one rushing yards in the first half of this game 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.600 were the most in the first half since the win 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.320 over the New England Patriots the Miami Miracle there. They 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.960 had one and forty two rushing yards in the first 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.600 half of that game. And to continue that point there 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.840 for Miles Gaskin, he also made a point to say 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.640 that they make it easy because they get on their 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.640 dudes and stay on them. Staying on blocks is very crucial. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.800 Speaking of guys that he talked about saying he did 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.240 his job all the time in this game, Miles Gaskin 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.440 said Jesse Davis had himself a hell of a game, 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.480 and Jesse had this to say after the game. We 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.200 had a good plan. We knew what they were going 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.440 to be lining up in and Miles Gaskin did a 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.160 great job with running hard, finding lanes, dropping his shoulder 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.600 and fits got a couple in there as well. End 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.440 quote in. Miami earned the lead just seven minutes into 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.560 the game and they never relented from their Miami's week 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.360 to lead lasted only one series last week against Buffalo, 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.040 but playing with the wire to wire lead that really 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.240 allowed the Dolphins defense to tee off late in this game. 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.720 We saw the four sacks, the ten quarterback hits, the 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.800 two takeaways. Gardner minshow through for just eighty three yards 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.120 in the first half of the game, averaging just five 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.720 point nine yards per pass in that first half, and 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.000 they were threatening there towards the end of the first half, 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.800 trying to get into Dolphins territory or into the red zone. 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.160 They were already at the plus thirty five ish yard 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.760 line and it was seven, so even a field goal, 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.080 they're getting the ball back in the second half. I mean, 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.480 technically the Jaguars could have made it a twenty one 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.720 to seventeen, maybe even one game. But the play of 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.160 the of that drive that I was so impressed with 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.560 and his performance throughout the course of the night was 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.640 no igmonogamy, because they run a toss sweep out to 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.720 the side of the formation that he's on, he or 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.160 that he's not on, and he comes over the formation 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.080 and makes the running back bubble back inside, cut back inside, 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.480 and that's where Jerome Baker meets him there for a loss. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.680 Then of course it forces a fourth down, and then 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.920 we get the Commu Gruge Hill sack to get a 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:12.160 turnover and just completely thwart any possible momentum there at 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.640 the end of the half that Jacksonville was hoping to create. 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.800 So very good job. Just Fitzpatrick talked about it last week, 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.840 finding those moments, those big plays, and responding in those 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.480 moments and making the plays in those moments. He said, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.760 we didn't get done last week, but Miami came up 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.480 big time and time again. In this game in those 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.360 big moments, and for Noah Igbangny to bounce back and 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.760 have a game that he had on this Thursday night, 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.480 that was just awesome to see the mental toughness, the 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:40.600 mental fortitude. These guys are wired just differently, and Imogeny 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.480 certainly fits the bill that way. So great work there 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.760 from Commu gruge Hill on the sack. I thought Zack 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.760 Seeler got a nice pick right there as he kind 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:49.960 of closed down the a gap on that blitz from 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.720 gruge Hill. They both kind of condensed their rush together 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:54.800 and the center and guard kind of came over with 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.800 Seiler and then gruge Hill got skinny and just exploded 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.160 using that speed to get in for the turnover on 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.960 downs and Minshew did pile up some yards and some 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.560 stats in the second half, but overall finishes thirty or 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.120 forty two with two hundred and seventy two yards. That's 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.119 just six point five yards per pass, no touchdowns. He 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.359 had three touchdowns in each of the first two games, 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.360 an interception and a fumble lost on the Kyle van 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.840 Noy trifecta. The sack strip and Scoop van Noy provided 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.600 pressure on Jacksonville's quarterback relentlessly going both off the edge 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.960 and on the inside. That's gonna be in the takeaways 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.480 as well. You heard Flora's talking about the pass rush 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.240 they got in this game. The Dolphins also got touchdowns 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.920 in this game from Preston Williams and Mike get Sick. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.960 All four Fitzpatrick's touchdown passes this year have gone to 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.960 either of those two or Devonte Parker, with those guys 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.000 going six ft three, six ft five, and six ft six, 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.560 and according to NFL Next Gen Stats, Fitzpatrick owns two 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:51.119 of the six tightest window touchdown throws this season, threatening 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.040 the needle when he has to get that job done. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.919 Preston Williams snared the first one of the night, that 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.119 third and goal from the three yard line. Gets the 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.359 inside released there from the enter back on a condensed split. 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.200 Not putting him out wide. You bring him in close 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.480 to the formation, get him closer to the quarterback, make 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.400 that throw easier, and make that read easier, and Williams 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.360 just breaks that thing off on the inside. But they're 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.000 still tight coverage there, and Fitzpatrick just puts it on 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.359 the bull's eye with the defensive back draped all over 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.120 his back. Big time play there, big time touchdown from 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:21.240 Fitzpatrick to Williams to get the party started. Then after 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.520 Jordan Howard's touchdown, Gasicky makes that leaping catch in the 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.040 corner up on the goal line but not quite to 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.600 the pylon. Really nice route combination there. I love the 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.200 way Troy Aikman broke that play down talking about how 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.359 the cornerback kind of falls off to the post for 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.280 Preston Williams and that allows Gatsicky to grab that corner. 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.160 And if Fitzpatrick sees that leverage, he sees that cornerback 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.760
