Let's get right into this podcast with my guest, 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:12.720 as we do every Friday, John con Jenny Well, John, 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.080 we did get our chance to talk some ball at 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.119 hard Rock Stadium, although not over the key line Pie 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.880 I was hoping to have with the other and certainly 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:22.880 not the outcome we were looking for. On the field either. 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.800 But regardless, it was good to be back in that 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.400 building and back in that seat next to you, my friend. 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.240 You know what. It was great to be back in 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.839 hard Rock Stadium, good to see you and and watch 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.920 the game from our perch. And and it was not 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.640 what we wanted in terms of the outcome, but you know, gosh, 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.520 it wasn't as bad as the outcome either at thirty 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.720 five to nothing, because you felt like, if the Dolphins 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.600 make one play when they have positive field position, it's 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.240 the one touchdown game going a halftime, and you never 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.320 know what can happen in the second half. So there 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.920 were some things obviously that need to get corrected and 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.640 get corrected fast, and you lose your quarterback uh in 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.800 the meantime. But when you look at overall, thirty five 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.120 nothing doesn't really tell the whole story. But it's not 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.720 where the Dolphins wanted to be in Week two, absolutely not. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.239 And I was so appreciative of your approach throughout that game, 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.440 because I mean, there were so many moments where you 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.360 could like kind of bury your head and say, ah, 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.440 this game is not going our way, but you kept on, 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.519 you kept on keeping me and a John By saying, hey, 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.600 we're you know, this is a key possession, We're gonna 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.000 stop here, and and that was the case for a 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.000 lot of that game and just it never got that 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.040 way for the offense where they could cut into that lead. 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.440 So hopefully this week we have some better results, and 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.000 I want to go ahead and turn the page, you know, 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.000 as fast as we can out that game and start here. 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.640 Because you've played a lot of football in your life, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.320 You've watched probably even more football. I was hoping you 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.760 could take us inside the player's perspective for turning the 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.720 page after a game like that, And it was kind 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.360 of a theme I had throughout the week talking to 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.760 coaches and players because I also got a lot of 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.480 you know this answer back about how it's the same 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.440 for a big win, like talk about the importance of 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.280 managing emotions and coming back off a tough loss. What's 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.560 the approach for the player to get over that, move 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.440 on and get onto the next Sunday. You know, it's 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.480 tough sometimes and it all depends on how the game 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.240 goes and where it is in the season for a player. 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.000 I can remember there was some losses that linger, uh, 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.800 they they really sting, and there were some that you 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.959 got over a lot quicker because you were never really 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.320 in the football game. You felt like, wow, that was 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.160 a throwaway. I don't know what happened, but we got 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.960 just you know, bowled over, and let's just let's rinse 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.160 and get that one out and let's move on to 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.720 the next one. And sometimes wins linger too long. You know, 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.960 sometimes you're feeling so good after you play that you're 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.760 talking about it. It's Thursday, and you're really not focused 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.400 on the next one. So sometimes, um, you know, the 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.840 better and the quicker that you turn the page to 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.280 the next opponent. It's probably better for the football team 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.080 from from top to bottom, no matter if you're on 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.160 the coaching staff or your you know, fifty three on 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.760 the roster. But I think that one was kind of 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.600 in between Travis for me, because although you were one 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.400 score away from being in the game, Buffalo didn't do 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.800 a whole lot to separate and yet when you looked, 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.400 it was thirty five nothing. I thought it was way 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.840 too easy for a good team like the Buffalo Bills 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.520 to come in on the road early in the season 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.040 and kind of not have your a game. But they 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.599 were good enough to beat a team that couldn't find 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.080 its way that that day, that Sunday. So this one 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.800 might be a little bit easier to flush as a 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.000 player because you did all you remember, it's thirty five nothing. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.880 As a fan or as a an analyst, you're going 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.680 back and look, well, it could have been this, could 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.599 have been that. But as a player, you're just going, 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.960 let's get onto the Raiders. There two and oh, they'd 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.960 be two really good teams, and we have to find 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.240 a way to play our best to be able to 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.440 win it. Winning cures everything. And you said two things 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.400 that that really kind of piqued my interest. Number one, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.360 the the victories that linger a little bit. I talked 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.480 about this on a either earlier podcast to record in 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.720 the podcast before you came on. I forgot but about 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.200 the Miami miracle game back in the Dolphins would lose 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.520 the next three and those games weren't even closed. So 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.000 I think that's a good example of how sometimes the 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.240 emotions can go the other way on you. And then 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.840 also you referenced the point in the season in which 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.520 you know certain events occur, and I've been thinking about 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.600 this last couple of days. How I don't ever look 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.120 back at like a week, two moments in a season 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.000 and say that was a pivotal turning point, Like people 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.320 aren't gonna remember this good or bad this part of 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:32.919 the season at the end of the year, right, Like 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.120 all the wins and losses count, but at the end 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.080 of the year, it's about how you're playing, you know, 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.760 post Halloween, post Thanksgiving and that, you know, and that 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.440 type of thing, Like there's been years where the Dolphins 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.120 started off three and oh and it didn't end well, 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.040 or it's been years play started off one and three 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.360 and it ended well. So I think that perspective is important, 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.400 and it seems to get lost sometimes. I'm really glad 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.120 you mentioned that. Now. The key on the podcast that 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.520 I referenced in the Thursday preview episode was to get 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.440 the ball to the backs in the run game and 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.240 through the air, because I think that running at those 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.640 two star pass rushers they have with Max Crosby and 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.200 Yannick and got Way and they're both two pound guys. John, 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.000 So trying to get Miles and Savon matchup on those 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.360 linebackers and also going at those d n s in 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.720 the running game, would you agree that's a good way 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.640 to kind of handle this ferocious pass rush of the Raiders. Yeah, 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.240 that's that's definitely one way to do it, Travis. And 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.680 in that scenario, you also make it easier for Jacoby 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.520 Bursett to get completions, to move the chains, to get 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.159 some flow in the offense, and stay on the field 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.560 because both Gascon and ACMED they make people miss in 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.919 the open field and that's a good thing. And the 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:46.239 more touches that those guys can get early, I think 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.359 maybe opens up the Raider defense where you might have 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.120 a chance to run the football. Remember, I don't think 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.400 you're gonna see a whole lot of RPO this week. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.479 I don't know if you're gonna rely on that that ball, 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.520 fake quick slant. You may get one or two, but 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.200 I think it's gonna be more shotgun drop back. It's 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.040 not there. Check it down, get the tight end, get 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:10.200 Kasicki and Smithe involved early, and Shaheen involved. Get those 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.640 guys the football over the middle, you know, easy throws, 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.720 and then that gets that motion with waddle going, you know, 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.680 from one side of the formation to the other. You 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.840 don't like it, you check it down, and that's the 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.840 easiest way for Jacobe to get completions to get some 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.280 rhythm in the offense. You know, you'd like to see 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.360 that happen because you know for a fact that defensive 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.960 coordinator for the Raiders, Gus Bradley, I'm sure he's gonna 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.800 build on some of the schemes that he saw Leslie Fraser, 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.560 the Bill's defensive coordinator, run last week, because it caused 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.600 identification problems. It caused issues, and you're gonna want to 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.880 try to use some of that within your scheme to 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.240 rattle a guy that's making a started quarterback. You know, 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.720 even though he played a long time in the game 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.800 last week, this is a different animal. He's got all 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.240 week to prepare. He's you know, he's trying to do 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.960 everything perfect. Now all of a sudden, he sees something 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.440 he's not sure of what's he doing with the football? 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.400 Does he panic? Does he throw it away? Does he 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.640 take a sack? Or is he able to check it 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.880 down and make a turn a negative into a positive play. 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.000 So those things early can really pick up an offense. 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.440 I really loved it. At the coaches presser on Wednesday, 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.960 somebody asked me if the offense will change, and I 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.680 admire the question because you want to ask it, but 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.720 you're not gonna get an answer out of any coach 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.600 on that particular question. So coach just said no, and 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.960 we'll see what the actual result is on Sunday in 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.600 terms of how they attack this Raider's defense. Because we 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.920 talked about all the time John very versatile system, very 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.440 versatile scheme, and roster that can adapt to that week's opponent. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.320 I want to go back to your comments there about 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.680 Jacobe Pricett and just ask you this follow up question, 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.680 what are your expectations and his first stars in Miami Dolphin. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.439 They're high. They're high for me. I watched watched them, 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.160 you know, all off season and in training camp, and 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:59.000 he's definitely got the tools to be a starting quarterback. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.760 I like his mobility, I like his accuracy. I like 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:06.479 his his moxie, you know, pushing the ball down the field. Um, 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.400 he gets everybody going. And he doesn't let a whole 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.760 lot of stuff linger. You know, if it's a bad play, 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.720 if it's an interception, if it's a you know, just 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.720 a pre snap penalty, Hey, get back in the huddle, 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.320 let's go, let's get back on it. I think he 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:25.320 has those leadership skills that guys want to follow him, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.720 you know. And and Kobe said that multiple times this 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.679 week about he always prepares as the starter, and you 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.880 have to have that mindset. I've played in that role. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.760 I've been the starter. I've been the backup. Doesn't matter, 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.160 you're one play away all the time if you're not 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.240 the guy to be the guy, and you have to 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.199 be able to accept that responsibility and may make its 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.280 seamless for everybody else around you so that they have 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.880 the confidence level that, hey, this guy we can win 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:54.120 with him. So my expectations for Jacoby are very high. 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:58.199 He's gonna have a full week of preparation. My advice, 0:09:58.280 --> 0:09:59.959 you know, he doesn't need mind but I'm sure he's 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.080 thinking of this. Be yourself, don't try to do too much, 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.800 and make the plays that you make on a daily basis. 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.920 So I think he's gonna be able to do that. Um, 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.600 you know, obviously he's gonna need some help upfront. He's 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.079 gonna need some help on the other side of the 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.040 football keeping the Raiders out of the end zone because 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.600 I think their number one in in uh or number 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.360 seven I think in points scored close to thirty points 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.559 per game. So you don't want to get into a 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.280 shooting match. But if you do, you know you've got 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.000 a guy that's been there and done that, and you 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.040 hope he can do it on Sunday. Yeah, it's number 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.440 seven and scoring, number one in total offense, number one 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.959 in passing offense. And I'm glad you mentioned that because 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.040 the Dolphins are gonna need a three phase victory if 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.720 they're going to get a victory in this game. And 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.600 talking about playing a complimentary style of football, that's what 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.760 Jacobe is at his best in my opinion, when he 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.199 compliments the other elements of the team. And if this defense, 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:49.959 I mean last year there was a couple of drives 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.280 early against the Raiders, and then obviously late in that 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.559 game some things got crazy, but for the most part, 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.360 they had a pretty good plan and they hemmed in 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.439 Derek Carr and kept that offense relatively stagnant through the 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.240 first three orders of that game. So hopefully you get 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.080 that same look. And that's kind of where we go 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.320 back to the defensive side with the rest of these 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.839 questions here, John two more for you. You know, looking 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.439 at Miami's defensive approach and defending Josh Allen, I found 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.920 it interesting they were in man coverage eighty five percent 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.760 of the time and blitzed percent of the time. Both 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.080 of those were somewhat departures from the norm in terms 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.120 of their season average over the last couple of years. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.720 But they held him under two hundred yards and not 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.800 only happened three times a year ago. So what do 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.160 you think of that approach and will it be similar 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.960 or will they adapt this week in Las Vegas? Well, 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.280 you know, I think, you know, people think you're crazy 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.599 thirty nothing and go Yeahti was really good, right, So overall, 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.680 I don't think his numbers were that impressive and I 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.320 agree with you there, but he made some big plays 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.200 both with his arm and his legs. Again, you know, 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.880 we we mentioned this last week. This is a guy 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.839 that's you know, averaged against the Dolphins close to sixty 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.600 yards on the ground every time he's faced them, And 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.440 on Sunday last Sunday he had forty yards on the ground. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.200 But some were you know, designed, They were a quarterback 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.320 sweep for fifteen. I think they tacked on a fifteen 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.080 yard penalty, So basically it was a thirty yard game 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.400 for the Bills. You know, you cut the field almost 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:14.200 in half there, Um he made some big plays down 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.720 the field, especially in the third quarter coming right out. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.439 You know, you get twenty two yard to Beasley, a 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:24.319 thirteen yard to Sanders, then you get another one to Singletary. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.400 You know, it's just, uh, it's it's something that those 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.920 big plays happened at the wrong time and it spiraled 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.280 on the Dolphins. You get, you know, you get a 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.040 rush for you know, what is it forty six yards 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.400 of second play of the game. But that's not on 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.440 Josh Allen. But it was the big plays. You know, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:47.199 he finds the way to to mask some deficiencies when 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.520 the Buffalo offense isn't going well, use his legs to 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.480 kind of spark those big plays down the field. You know, 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.839 and I disregard you know that last one. I think 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.880 it was forty plush yards two digs because the game 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.960 was in hand there. But I thought the Dolphin defense 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.760 did enough. But it was the big plays really, uh 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.160 that hurt him, especially in that third quarter. So you're 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.439 hoping that it's a four quarter game on the other 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:15.040 side of the football, trying to keeping a raider offense 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:19.000 that lives with those plays to Waller into rugs. Uh, 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.840 you know, you get those checkdowns the Kenyan Drake, so 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.600 you've gotta be aware of Hunter Renfro. There's some guys 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.480 that can make some big plays on that offense. So 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.080 those are the things I would look for to try 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.880 to carry over the good stuff from the Buffalo game, 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.840 but eliminate that explosive play that you're giving up on 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:41.400 a on a more regular basis. Yeah, something that defense 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.760 was really good at last year was limiting the big plays. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.880 And you know, coach Jerrell Alexander talks all the time 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.319 about how big plays come to the secondary and that's 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.280 one of the strongest units on this football team. So 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.280 hopefully a bounce back day for everybody involved and a victory, 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.720 because again, winning will cure a lot of issues around 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.600 here as far as how people are a little bit 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.640 upset this week on social media and the like, and 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.680 I'll blame them. It's been a tough week here in 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.599 Dolphins Land. Last question before the mailback here John, the 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.400 Dolphins win this game, if go ahead, I think they 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.840 need to stay ahead of the chains. I think you 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.320 know you get a quarterback now it's making his first start, 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.720 hasn't played a full game in a while, although he 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.320 played a lot last week against Buffalo. I think you 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.840 need to win on first and second down. Stay out 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.920 of that second and third and long because that's when 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.400 you start losing field position. And we saw this last week. 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.120 The Dolphins had excellent field position in that game, got 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:36.080 zero points out of it after an X interception. And 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.360 and and you take over at the forty two, you 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.480 get chances in the end zone, you can get chances 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.360 inside the tent, and you comp the football up. So 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:47.560 I think you gotta win early downs because that's gonna 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.200 lead to field position advantage over the long run of 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.880 four quarters. It's going to make it easier on Jacoby, 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.200 I think. I think secondly, much like the Dolphin defense 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.840 did against New England, you have to the Raiders kick 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.400 field goals. Although they have an excellent field goal kicker, 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.200 I'd rather see them attempt field goals than letting car 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:12.120 find Waller for an explosive play or target rugs uh 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.440 and an explosive play in the red zone or remfro 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.560 or you know, like I said, you know, Kenyan's caught 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.920 a lot of balls over two weeks out of the backfield, 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.040 So make them kick field goals. Be stingy, you know, 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.080 in between the twenties. Let them have their you know 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.200 whatever they're gonna earn. But when you get backed up, 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.640 make them kick field goals because that's how you're gonna 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.720 stay and potentially win the game. And lastly, it's the 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.800 line of scrimmage. Control it. You don't have to win 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.640 it this week, but you need to be better than 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.520 last week because we can see how the dominoes fall 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.040 when you don't win up front on both sides of 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.800 the football. You let an early run go on defense 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.760 for forty six yards on the two play drive and 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.320 you're down seven nothing. You didn't win. You didn't win 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.440 at the point of attack, and you didn't win at 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.800 the second level. So on offense, you cut guys looser 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.520 in that game, you lose your quarterback on the second series. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:08.120 You don't you misidentify something up front. So you have 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.640 to win the line the scrimmage in the National Football League, 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.080 but you gotta You don't have to win it all 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.600 the time, you know, necessarily, but you need to control it. 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.640 You can't lose it the way they did against Buffalo. 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.560 He is John Conjemmy here on the Drive Time podcast. John, 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.120 can you stick around for a couple of male bad 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.880 questions for us. Sure, all right, let's get into that. 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.040 I think we got four here for you. I want 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.200 to dive into. Let's go to this one first from 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:34.160 Gavin Stevens. He's at gav Gavy, the gunner, A great name, 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.000 that is. This kind of goes back to what you 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.960 just said about the trench play. Was the Buffalo defensive 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.680 line that much superior to the New England line? And 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.640 I'm sure he's referring to the fact that in New 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.640 England there wasn't as many pressures in sacks, but like 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.240 you mentioned, against Buffalo, there were, So he wants to 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.520 just know about the difference between the Buffalo defensive line 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.080 and the Patriots d line. Maybe it's more schematic, right, 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.800 John Well. I think it had a lot more to 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.000 do with the Miami Dolphins than it did New England 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.000 or Buffalo in both of those games. Now, not taking 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.200 anything away from those defenses, because they can get after 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.320 you on the edge, but I think it got out 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.240 of hand quickly and it looked like, you know, a 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.200 little bit of confusion. I think it was an identification 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.840 problem with quarterback and offensive line and running back. I 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.480 think at times all three guys or all three segments 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.160 of your offense missed and it made it look worse 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.520 than it should have been. Uh, you lit a free 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.000 blitzer go. Now, is that the quarterback's fault? Is that 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.000 the running back going inside instead of to the edge 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.280 of the of the tackle or is that just an 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.080 identification uh mishap where you let a guy go and 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.360 you thought you had him blocked. So I think there 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:45.360 was a lot of dominoes that led to UH sacks 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:49.119 and quarterback hits and negative runs and let cutting guys 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.640 free at the line of scrimmage in the Buffalo game. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:56.080 And I'm sure that Brian flores is in the coaching 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.919 staff on the offensive side are gonna take care of 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.880 that moving from we two to Week three, because it 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:07.159 was more about the Miami Dolphins, I believe um having 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:12.960 some some lapses in judgment, having some misidentification problems, and 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.280 having just some physical airs uh than it was the 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.440 Buffalo Bills. That's a great prelude into question number two here, 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.720 because you know two games into the season, obviously every 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.040 single week in the NFL is going to have UM, 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.119 I don't want to say knee jerk reactions, but just 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.840 every every game comes with a lot of you know, scrutiny. 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.199 That's how it is in today's league. And uh, I 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.000 want to preach patients, but I want to hear your 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.320 take on this. A question from Ken Are he's at 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:40.480 Krickster on Twitter. He says, game one seventeen points, Game two, 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.920 no points. Is this two headed offensive coordinator gig working 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.120 for Miami? Well, I don't, I don't know. I would 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.040 put it on the coordinators. I think you know, they've 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:56.040 put in game plans and it's more about execution. It's 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.040 more about the guys on the field. And I don't 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.480 think right now you can point the finger at the 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.280 co coordinators, because those guys are preparing, uh, these guys 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:06.720 to go out and play, and it's up to the 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:10.640 players to go out and execute. And I haven't seen, um, 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:14.119 I haven't seen this offense really execute to the level 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:16.800 that I believe they can get to. Let's let's put 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:18.800 it that way. So I think, you know, as much 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:22.879 as we were talking about earlier in the podcast about 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.280 you know, a week too bad loss or a week 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.760 too great win, how it kind of gets lost in 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.480 the shuffle, I'd like to see a little bit more 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.480 proof of what this offense can do, or a little 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:37.080 bit more opportunity for what this offense can do. Say 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.240 after a quarter of the season is done, now we 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.960 can evaluate, say, you know what, we're not getting the 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.840
