Speaker 1: You were listening to the Miami Dolphins podcast Network. This
Speaker 1: is Drive Time with Travis Whinfield. Back to throw to
Speaker 1: a looking gips wine open touchtop, Tonrick call, unbelievable, just
Speaker 1: blue fire for a second time. Don't know where he
Speaker 1: was going right away? A hit of that man. I
Speaker 1: want to help you soon up on his bay Wattle,
Speaker 1: waddle to a shotgun, back to throw all looking steps
Speaker 1: up fires, touchtop again, it's waddle. It's six touchdowns past
Speaker 1: of this thing. Drive Time with Travis Winfield begins. Now
Speaker 1: let me check your pulse if what is up? Dolphins
Speaker 1: and welcome to the Drivetime podcast, part of the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins podcast Network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's
Speaker 1: it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield, And
Speaker 1: on today's show, I am fired up to bring you
Speaker 1: the Aftermath Podcast as we peel back the curtain on
Speaker 1: Miami's seven win in Detroit. We'll go over the tape,
Speaker 1: talk about two's big day, Tyreek Jalen, the entire offense,
Speaker 1: tell you where it went right and wrong on defense,
Speaker 1: give you the key stats and snap counts. And here
Speaker 1: from head coach Mike McDaniel and his Monday afternoon press conference.
Speaker 1: All of that and a heck of a lot more
Speaker 1: from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1: This is the Drive Time Podcast. Let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: dive right into the film off the top. We have
Speaker 1: a lot to get to, especially on the offensive side
Speaker 1: of the football, and we start with two a tongue
Speaker 1: of by Lowa's big, big day, and I start here
Speaker 1: in order of his game and the ball handling was
Speaker 1: the first thing that releastood out to me on his
Speaker 1: game tape. And the fact that we can throw those
Speaker 1: glance routes which are off the r p O looks
Speaker 1: the quick little skinny slants inside where you see him
Speaker 1: basically hit the back of his drop and fire that
Speaker 1: football out there quickly coming off an r p O.
Speaker 1: Look his ability to go against the flow of the
Speaker 1: play action fake from the gun, so like Raheema is
Speaker 1: at two his left and for a quarterback when he
Speaker 1: pulls the ball back out of his belly, that typical
Speaker 1: side of the throw is the opposite side of the
Speaker 1: running backs flow on that play to a can pull
Speaker 1: the ball out and his mechanics right and throw to
Speaker 1: either side with such quickness and accuracy. It truly is
Speaker 1: a marvel to watch something going back to his Alabama
Speaker 1: tape that has been so so good. And by the way,
Speaker 1: on the first one the Sanders fumble, Mike runs the
Speaker 1: flat and during this entire operation which is less than
Speaker 1: two seconds to checks the flat and that widens the
Speaker 1: defender that too is working off of for the glance
Speaker 1: to Sanders into the second level of the defense. So
Speaker 1: within two seconds to it has to put the ball
Speaker 1: in the belly of the running back, pull it back out,
Speaker 1: come off the back of that drop, check the flat
Speaker 1: to move the defender, and then put the ball in
Speaker 1: behind the hook linebacker. All of that under two seconds
Speaker 1: is high, high level quarterback play for this for this
Speaker 1: young man. And how about the throw to kick start
Speaker 1: the second possession of the game, ten yard dropped back
Speaker 1: to his own to any far hash and drills when
Speaker 1: the tyreek hill along the perimeter to the forty one
Speaker 1: yard lines, thirty one yards from the far hash, right
Speaker 1: on time, right on target, plenty of velocity and zip
Speaker 1: to get that ball out there. I'll touch on that
Speaker 1: more here in just a minute. And my goodness, the
Speaker 1: third and thirteen conversion to Tyreek is so so good.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna explain to you why Tyreek is so special
Speaker 1: but also can be difficult to hit perfectly in stride
Speaker 1: on a vertical pass here in just a moment, but
Speaker 1: you get to look at it right here, four lines
Speaker 1: defensive backs in zero coverage. You're at the sticks, seven
Speaker 1: men up on the line, and they're all coming. All
Speaker 1: seven guys are going to rush the quarterback here against
Speaker 1: I think we had four eligibles. One quarterback makes five.
Speaker 1: That means we have six and protection, so one more
Speaker 1: than you can block, right, which means to one knows
Speaker 1: he's hot, he knows he's gonna get pressure unblocked most likely.
Speaker 1: And Tyreek is running a forty yards sprint and he
Speaker 1: eats up the first ten yards and is past the defense.
Speaker 1: I use a lot of handheld time around this one
Speaker 1: because there were so much things happening quickly. He runs
Speaker 1: past the defense and one point nine five seconds that's
Speaker 1: the average time on three handheld blocks I use on
Speaker 1: the film, and to A throws it when Tyreek is
Speaker 1: four yards from clearing them, like a new definition of
Speaker 1: if he's even he's leaving, if he's within four yards
Speaker 1: he's leaving is our definition, apparently, and with pressure into
Speaker 1: his face. The ball is right on Tyreek forty five
Speaker 1: yards down the field from where he threw the football.
Speaker 1: That's a FreeRunner coming down the b gap there in
Speaker 1: less than two seconds and two it doesn't even have
Speaker 1: time to set his feet. And that's when he doesn't
Speaker 1: really have the sixty sixty five yard throws what we've
Speaker 1: seen from him. When he's not set, he's not gonna
Speaker 1: make those throws. And you can't set against this particular look.
Speaker 1: It's a tough throw to make, and the best part
Speaker 1: of it all, he throws it in a way that
Speaker 1: allows him to protect himself from a big shot where
Speaker 1: he rolls that left shoulder out of the play altogether
Speaker 1: and gets his back turn of the defense. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna take a big shot that way. It's high level play,
Speaker 1: high anticipation, high pre snap, high post snap, high accuracy,
Speaker 1: high delivery, everything high level on that play. The next throw,
Speaker 1: they come back to the glance look they saw to
Speaker 1: the Braylan Sanders throw in the first drive, and this
Speaker 1: time is Jalen Waddle, and this time the hookbacker is there,
Speaker 1: but to a just says, all right, all you ball
Speaker 1: placement to throw around you, and I believe this is
Speaker 1: the throw Mike was talking about. And we'll hear from
Speaker 1: him in the press conference. When I asked him on Monday,
Speaker 1: what stood out to you on to his tape that
Speaker 1: really made you think he played the game at a
Speaker 1: high level. He talked about red zone location. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure this is the one that he's talking about where
Speaker 1: two of sees that hook defender and just says, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll throw the ball off the back shoulder of Wattle
Speaker 1: and I'll explain Waddles play or part in that play
Speaker 1: under his breakdown, because he was very good there as well.
Speaker 1: Touchdown number one. I broke this down a little bit
Speaker 1: on Sunday Show, but I have a correction to make.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a hybrid coverage, but it's not.
Speaker 1: I thought it was man zone, but it's man across
Speaker 1: the board. But even still, trying to cover seventeen on
Speaker 1: an over route and man coverage is really tough because
Speaker 1: first off, he's operating from trips and the releases they
Speaker 1: take they all switch, like the inside guy doesn't go
Speaker 1: to the inside route, the outside guy doesn't go to
Speaker 1: the outside route, and that's going to really confuse a
Speaker 1: ban joe call, which is where you have three defensive
Speaker 1: backs or sometimes two defensive backs trying to say, hey,
Speaker 1: you got first in, I got last out. It's tough
Speaker 1: to communicate when you get those switch releases, and it
Speaker 1: causes them to be a beat late, which gives Wattle
Speaker 1: inside access, so you're already scheming him up to an
Speaker 1: advantage over his defender. And then from there, the backside
Speaker 1: of the formation is Shutfield on a little snag route
Speaker 1: just shy of the goal line, with Tyreek running the flat.
Speaker 1: From the backfield. You see three defenders collapse on those
Speaker 1: two rights to those two routes to the back side
Speaker 1: of the formation, and then here comes Waddle over the top,
Speaker 1: who carefully picks his way through the defense in a
Speaker 1: way that doesn't let him get rerouted, so to sets
Speaker 1: up to Tyreek first, and that takes his next progression
Speaker 1: up higher. It's low to high two Trent Shirtfield, and
Speaker 1: here's the part I love the most. Shutfield very wisely
Speaker 1: continues his route inside and two attracts him, so once
Speaker 1: he's already pulled those defenders up, he then pulls them
Speaker 1: off to the side to create maximum space in the
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. And you see the backer
Speaker 1: who's really the only guy that has a chance left
Speaker 1: to possibly get in the way of Wattle. You see
Speaker 1: him chase Shrfield inside. Then here comes Jalen wide open,
Speaker 1: and from there it's the easiest touchdown pass you can have,
Speaker 1: perfect low to high read, great eyes, great protection to
Speaker 1: afford him, the time, design execution. All of it was beautiful.
Speaker 1: On the very next play is a forty two yard
Speaker 1: pass from to a tongue of Byloa to Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1: And please allow me to tell you why there's no
Speaker 1: quarterback on Earth who is going to lead Tyreek streaking
Speaker 1: into the end zone on this play, let's play action
Speaker 1: with a moving pocket. To A has to retreat back
Speaker 1: to the right after flowing left and does a great
Speaker 1: job to climb up around a rusher, and he also
Speaker 1: sets up in gold for a good angle to get
Speaker 1: him that block. By the time that Toa does all
Speaker 1: this and resets at his own twenty yard line and
Speaker 1: loads up for a deep shot, Tyreek is at the
Speaker 1: opposite forty. That's forty yards away. We already told you
Speaker 1: Tyreek can show up thirty yards and just over three seconds,
Speaker 1: and a ball that travels forty yards in the air,
Speaker 1: it's gonna take three seconds to get there. That's just
Speaker 1: how it works. That's how gravity works, right, I think
Speaker 1: we understand gravity. So for him to hit Tyreek and stride,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to throw this ball to the end
Speaker 1: zone eighty yards away from his own twenty yard line.
Speaker 1: Not Josh Allen, not Patrick Mahomes, nobody can make death throw. Okay, nobody.
Speaker 1: Instead to us, he's an open receiver and just throws
Speaker 1: it into a pocket that's clear forty yards downfield. Tyreek
Speaker 1: makes an uncontested catch forty yards down the field. Think
Speaker 1: about that. Are we gonna get mad about that about
Speaker 1: a receiver making catch forty yards uncontested downfield? Isn't that
Speaker 1: what you want? I'll take it. Touchdown Number two comes
Speaker 1: a few plays later. The slot fade, and this one's
Speaker 1: even prettier, just beautiful in every sense of playing. The
Speaker 1: quarterback position. First motion indicates man coverage with two high safeties.
Speaker 1: After the snap, the safety show their hand. They both squat.
Speaker 1: Their goal is to bracket tenants seventeen, but the problem
Speaker 1: for them is the field safety. The one closest to
Speaker 1: that side of the field of the throw squats on
Speaker 1: Tyreek's crossing route, and then the boundary safety who's way
Speaker 1: too far to get over the top of help for
Speaker 1: for Jalen's route. He's he's left with nothing to do
Speaker 1: because he wants to take Tyreek where the field side
Speaker 1: safety should have taken the slot fade, but to what
Speaker 1: takes the snap and you see his helmet go right
Speaker 1: to that squatting safety and then the hand separate. He
Speaker 1: says he's squatting. Jalen has one one on the slot fade.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna lose that route. He didn't, and he
Speaker 1: lets it. He lets it fly, and the indicator was
Speaker 1: that safety squatting right, So he's applying his knowledge of
Speaker 1: the offense like that. It's high level stuff and the
Speaker 1: ball is right on the outstretched hands of Waddle for
Speaker 1: a touchdown pre snapper, post snap application a handoff from
Speaker 1: thirty yards away. Can you do it any better than that?
Speaker 1: I say no. Perhaps my favorite throw of the day
Speaker 1: is the next drive third and thirteen two has Tyreeke
Speaker 1: and Trent and condensed splits to the field. What does
Speaker 1: that mean? The fields the wide side of the formation
Speaker 1: that condensed splits mean they're inside the number, so you
Speaker 1: have space to work on possible out routes. Tyreek is
Speaker 1: the one, which means he's closest to the quarterback and
Speaker 1: he pushes right up the sema a little skinny post
Speaker 1: where he just uses that four to speed and takes
Speaker 1: off and that removes the safety and the inside hookbacker.
Speaker 1: Surefield runs off of that a little pivot route back
Speaker 1: to the outside off of the wide corner from his
Speaker 1: two position the furthest I'm sorry I had those backwards,
Speaker 1: the ones the furthest out. Two is the furthest in.
Speaker 1: So from the one position out, Tyreek is the two
Speaker 1: position in. He runs that pivot route to the outside
Speaker 1: and two drills it from the far hash before Trent
Speaker 1: has even settled into his pivot route, and the ball
Speaker 1: just drills him right between the one and the four
Speaker 1: twenty yards down the field from the throw and from
Speaker 1: the far hash. Argue to a wall about arm strength. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not. I'm not. I an't here anymore.
Speaker 1: It's not the calling card of his game, but it's plenty,
Speaker 1: plenty good enough. And I don't know about you, but
Speaker 1: i'd rather have my franchises quarterbacks calling card be a
Speaker 1: trait that shows up on of the plays opposed to
Speaker 1: a trait that's applicable are magnified on like ten percent,
Speaker 1: give or take. Call me crazy. So you know the
Speaker 1: deep shot, the tyreek that we just missed, the one
Speaker 1: that was between two defenders, the one that we were
Speaker 1: flagged for for a legal shift. Yeah, that ball was dropped.
Speaker 1: Go look, go back and look at it. To put
Speaker 1: that thing right on the money. Wouldn't count it anyway,
Speaker 1: but it was a great throw. Next drive, I did
Speaker 1: a freeze frame on a dig at Jalen runs and
Speaker 1: when the ball is coming out, there's a safety right
Speaker 1: in front of two of but twenty five yards down
Speaker 1: the field. There's a linebacker just to the right of
Speaker 1: two A fifteen yards down the field, and Wattle is
Speaker 1: even further to the right of him, eighteen yards down
Speaker 1: the field to A drills it right to a spot
Speaker 1: between all of them, and here comes number seventeen flying
Speaker 1: in to make the play. Two us feel for how
Speaker 1: to locate the ball differently for man and zone coverage
Speaker 1: is another one of those subtle intangibles that you just
Speaker 1: don't see when you're watching the game on Sundays. That's
Speaker 1: why you come to the podcast here to get the
Speaker 1: end depth breakdown from a guy that can tell you
Speaker 1: for the last four years this quarterback is special. We're
Speaker 1: seeing it play out on plays like that and Man,
Speaker 1: the throw of Trent Shutfield that he was ruled down
Speaker 1: the one to it takes a shotgun snap and as
Speaker 1: he turns to hit the back foot one step catch
Speaker 1: rock throw opens the hips to clear the throwing lane,
Speaker 1: separation of the hands, and the ball is out before
Speaker 1: Sherefield has even gotten off stemming his man. What is stemming,
Speaker 1: It's where you try to square your guy up so
Speaker 1: you can put him in position best to make your
Speaker 1: move to create separation. You want his shoulders to be
Speaker 1: even with your shoulders to get that move correctly. Two
Speaker 1: way go executed. By the time he gets to his landmark,
Speaker 1: the ball is located with the accuracy of a handoff
Speaker 1: and it helps Trent sling shot right into the end
Speaker 1: zone with a tremendous effort to reach it out over
Speaker 1: the goal line and real quick. On Trent Surfield, his
Speaker 1: blocking remains stupendous. He is such a good player. Man.
Speaker 1: The block he made on the little end around the
Speaker 1: Tyreek was absolutely textbook. The third touchdown pass or the
Speaker 1: fourth touchdown pass you want to call that you already heard.
Speaker 1: McDaniel mentioned the fourth read and the progression on that play,
Speaker 1: Dolphins are four by one to the field. That means
Speaker 1: four guys on the wide side of the field, one
Speaker 1: eligible to the boundary with Waddle as the running back
Speaker 1: and most Dirt motioning to the perimeter where he's just
Speaker 1: gonna go occupy space and be a horizontal stretch piece,
Speaker 1: not even running around. He just goes to the sideline
Speaker 1: stands there. The snapshot the two has when he goes
Speaker 1: to throw this is Raheem at the fifteen yard line
Speaker 1: along the sideline, chilling, Jalen and Tyreek hooked up at
Speaker 1: the sticks, meaning they've already show the numbers of the quarterback.
Speaker 1: They ran their little hook routes and they're blanketed. And
Speaker 1: then Mike Gasicki is in behind two defensive backs and
Speaker 1: over the top of an underneath defender. The throw is
Speaker 1: just over the underneath defender and between two defensive backs,
Speaker 1: and it settles Mike's position away from the defensive backs,
Speaker 1: away from the hit to create great throw and how
Speaker 1: about finishing off the game by creating extra time with
Speaker 1: a scramble to find Tyreek for that last first down
Speaker 1: to bring on victory formation. What a freaking game to
Speaker 1: that's all they can say. How about Tyreek Hill? What
Speaker 1: a game for him to the ground that he covers
Speaker 1: from the release. This is a guy that can get
Speaker 1: thirty yards down the field in like three seconds. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like it. Jam him, find a
Speaker 1: way to get him from clean releases because he is
Speaker 1: too explosive for that. And for a quarterback to even
Speaker 1: have a chance to hit him and stride. He literally
Speaker 1: has to catch rock throw, which is essentially the setup
Speaker 1: you have for screen passes. It's it's really crazy to watch.
Speaker 1: You see it on that opening play of Drive to
Speaker 1: where he works off a stag or there's a receiver
Speaker 1: in front of him from a nasty split, which means
Speaker 1: he's in close to the formation right by the tight
Speaker 1: ends and he gets a free release because of this.
Speaker 1: The off corner turns his hips right after the snap,
Speaker 1: and because Tyreek is full pedal to the post, he
Speaker 1: has to get depth. He has to turn his hips
Speaker 1: and run vertically because if he doesn't. There's a chance
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins have a vertical shot on that you're
Speaker 1: gonna leave Tyreek Hill alone downfield like Baltimore did. You
Speaker 1: can't have that. So the minute he takes off deep,
Speaker 1: Tyreek just goes ahead and throttles down, breaks it out
Speaker 1: five yards separation anticipation throws right there, doesn't give the
Speaker 1: cornerback time to recover because Twah is so good with
Speaker 1: the anticipation throws his concentration. Tyreeks with things that should take,
Speaker 1: that should take. His ability to catch contested football's more
Speaker 1: difficult is so impressive. He just doesn't get rattled by
Speaker 1: you know, color flashing in his face, arms and hands
Speaker 1: flying in front of his face mask. He's got the
Speaker 1: quiet hands that don't go for the football until it's
Speaker 1: right there, and then he just cradles it and hangs
Speaker 1: on his route on the slot fade touchdown is such
Speaker 1: a good example of brotherhood routes where you're not getting
Speaker 1: the football. I mean, he he could have, but he
Speaker 1: has to get off that line quickly and runs this
Speaker 1: incut with the urgency that clears before Wattle gets there
Speaker 1: on his takeoff, and he does it because he's so
Speaker 1: fast and because he's committed to run in the route.
Speaker 1: Tyreek doing this drew the safety and took away help
Speaker 1: from forty one A J. Parker, who you guys remember
Speaker 1: we we sat We highlighted him on the preview podcast,
Speaker 1: taking a look at a guy that you know we
Speaker 1: could get these slot fades and takeoff routes and over routes.
Speaker 1: From there, you go touchdown past Tyreek and Jillen Big
Speaker 1: on that play I talked about to his recognition of
Speaker 1: man and zone. The way Tyreek paces his routes and
Speaker 1: understands where the windows are again zone is also special.
Speaker 1: We obviously know what he does to man coverage, but
Speaker 1: he can do it again zone as well. He also
Speaker 1: catches a twenty yard or so curl route on the
Speaker 1: opening drive of the third quarter, and I just love
Speaker 1: how to is seeing it man. When Tyreek turns his back,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to wait, like we're not wasting that
Speaker 1: separation that his speed by pushing up is creating the
Speaker 1: balls on him right when he turns back to the orderback.
Speaker 1: It maximizes what his speed does to push those safeties back,
Speaker 1: and it creates some yacht opportunities which we haven't had
Speaker 1: quite yet, but we will. And not all quarterbacks can
Speaker 1: throw it before it's clear that it's there. There was
Speaker 1: a quarterback we traded a second round draft pick for
Speaker 1: a few years ago that had to see it before
Speaker 1: he threw it. Not having to see it first really
Speaker 1: accelerates the anticipation process and maximizes what Tyrek and Jalen
Speaker 1: speed do on the field. He gets a punctuation on
Speaker 1: the game with a wheel route on the last drive,
Speaker 1: which is deflected, but his concentration is good enough that
Speaker 1: he still makes the catch anyway. He's He's crazy man,
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle fourth and four motion on that play, I
Speaker 1: d s man coverage with Waddle taking the three to
Speaker 1: the field side of the formation that's closest into the
Speaker 1: the formation, inside leverage from the cornerback that does not
Speaker 1: want to let him cross, which from that possession is
Speaker 1: a good time to run the over route. He pushes
Speaker 1: that route like it is a crossing route, and it
Speaker 1: puts that dB back on his hills heels, I should say.
Speaker 1: Jalen then snaps it off and to it puts it
Speaker 1: right on the money move the chains. Jalen is pretty
Speaker 1: reliable on third downs man. He makes a lot of
Speaker 1: tough catches like that, and he's the ability to adjust
Speaker 1: at the speed that he plays no less is just outstanding,
Speaker 1: Like settles into a spot, turns back and snatches the
Speaker 1: ball off of his frame. That was that glance route
Speaker 1: I talked about earlier. Just to make those hands catches
Speaker 1: is so valuable. We have more coming on that later.
Speaker 1: His acceleration with the ball in the air on the
Speaker 1: slot fade touchdown was amazing. The balls out of his
Speaker 1: hands out of to his hands. I should say when
Speaker 1: Jalen is at the twenty three yard line, he makes
Speaker 1: the catch at the four yard line, it's two point
Speaker 1: one nine seconds. I put it on the clock three
Speaker 1: times to track a football, so you're not like in
Speaker 1: a full sprinter sprint, but tracking the football twenty yards
Speaker 1: are covering twenty yards and two seconds. It's a cheat code.
Speaker 1: Same thing I said about Tyrek of understanding windows two
Speaker 1: and they open how to maximize your time in that zone.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of hitters in baseball. You want to
Speaker 1: keep your bat in the zone for the maximum time
Speaker 1: because it gives you the most time of barrel to
Speaker 1: baseball potential. It's what these guys do against own coverage
Speaker 1: and to have had that one ball that I thought
Speaker 1: got away from him, but Jalen caught it. Anyways, the
Speaker 1: play action role with Wattle on the over route, he
Speaker 1: leaps and snags it off of his frame. What a
Speaker 1: special special player to do that while you're rolling at
Speaker 1: four three speed is ridiculous. Let's go ahead and take
Speaker 1: our first breaks. Were so deep into the podcast, we'll
Speaker 1: come back into the rest of the offense defense numbers
Speaker 1: here from head coach Mike McDaniel. Gonna be a long
Speaker 1: one today. Buckle up, We're still got plenty more come
Speaker 1: Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by
Speaker 1: Auto Nation, Resuming here on a Tuesday edition of the
Speaker 1: Drivetime Podcast, picking it back up with the offense with
Speaker 1: the running backs and Raheem Moster, who I just love
Speaker 1: the way he presses blocks to hold lanes but also
Speaker 1: to compressed defenders into the blocks like they're already there,
Speaker 1: but he presses it and it kind of shortens the
Speaker 1: runway for guys to be able to detach from their blocks.
Speaker 1: It makes it easier on our running back or our
Speaker 1: offensive lineman too whole blocks because of the way he
Speaker 1: does that the first play, they opened a massive gap
Speaker 1: and the design of the play is so cool because
Speaker 1: the entire right side from right tackle to center gets
Speaker 1: push and then Liam Eichenberg, who played great by the way,
Speaker 1: hits a second level reach and walls it off, and
Speaker 1: then Tehron also reaches his block on the first level
Speaker 1: and gets that walled off. And the counter action they
Speaker 1: have in Gold he peels back against the flow after
Speaker 1: the snap and that's where raheem presses backside before getting
Speaker 1: to his gap. It's just really impressive work the way
Speaker 1: they're kind of reading it and feeling the design of
Speaker 1: this really complex running game. It's getting closer and closer
Speaker 1: every week, and they're getting a hundred yard games every
Speaker 1: week now. Three in the last four, Chase Edmonds had
Speaker 1: a really nice scan and protect on the fourth and
Speaker 1: fourth conversion. Shell wins his rip. Hunt takes the three
Speaker 1: tech and and just wipes him out, and then Chase
Speaker 1: has to step up for Malcolm Rodriguez blitz up in
Speaker 1: the A gap and he gets up in there and
Speaker 1: Stone walls him. Great work from Chase Edmonds on that play.
Speaker 1: On the very next play, they get similar action from
Speaker 1: Ingold where he does a little fake inside, counter back outside,
Speaker 1: he leaks out into the flat and two gets him
Speaker 1: for seven yards. Just so much to contend with for
Speaker 1: opposing defense is all the I can do you have
Speaker 1: on this d on this offense. And speaking of Ingold,
Speaker 1: just a shout out in generals with a thankless job
Speaker 1: that he executes every single week. He gets some key
Speaker 1: lee blocks, opens up the playbook has tons of effort
Speaker 1: plays where he goes out and just hammers a block
Speaker 1: outside the numbers. He's a fun player man. The deep
Speaker 1: shot from two to Tyreek for forty two yards was
Speaker 1: a great work by both of those guys. Obviously great
Speaker 1: design to roll the pocket on play action and move
Speaker 1: the rush points of all those guys. But the guy
Speaker 1: that afforded too of the time that he needed to
Speaker 1: hit Tyreek was alec Ingold peeling back on a block
Speaker 1: for Aiden Hutchinson. Just really good work from number thirty.
Speaker 1: And then the effort on his touchdown run first of
Speaker 1: his career, by the way, it was so nice he
Speaker 1: almost didn't get in, but second effort push it across
Speaker 1: the line. Also have to love the call. I mean
Speaker 1: they even faked me out. I bought the confusion as
Speaker 1: real as we're watching the game live, I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Time out? Time out? Challenge the previous play,
Speaker 1: but it worked. Speaking of effort, the block on two
Speaker 1: is scrambled, which just we appreciate you so much. Alec, Like,
Speaker 1: what a valuable asset you are man downfield making blocks
Speaker 1: for your quarterback, big, big time on the offensive line,
Speaker 1: I think this line is starting to really play as
Speaker 1: one singular unit opposed to five individuals. You can see
Speaker 1: it clicking like love analogies. And even though I kind
Speaker 1: of hate this one, I can't think of a better
Speaker 1: way to describe this to me. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: the human centipede. You guys seeing that movie, one of
Speaker 1: the worst movies ever made. It's like one body with
Speaker 1: ten arms and ten legs, and you see the lions
Speaker 1: try to slant and twist some looks, and our guys
Speaker 1: are just simultaneously, you know, slanting their shoulders and getting
Speaker 1: their angles right in the direction to square up both
Speaker 1: moves off the stunt. This guy wants to go this way,
Speaker 1: this guy wants to go that way. We have it
Speaker 1: picked up because we are so in tune that we
Speaker 1: angle these things off and wall them off, we slide together.
Speaker 1: We don't pass off until we know we have covered.
Speaker 1: If you watch it closely, I think you'll understand what
Speaker 1: I mean. Offensive lines playing really well. Right now. We're
Speaker 1: gonna hear from head coach Mike McDaniel on that here
Speaker 1: in just a moment. Connor Williams had an excellent block
Speaker 1: early on riding down the wave. He got down the
Speaker 1: line like three gaps and stayed on a block, then
Speaker 1: turned the guy out when he tried to disengage. Just
Speaker 1: really crafty, veteran stuff he does to get good angles
Speaker 1: in the blocking game. Really having a hard time finding
Speaker 1: bad raps on his tape man. He is consistently getting movement,
Speaker 1: teaming up with guys on doubles, holding up in pass pro.
Speaker 1: He's been fantastic. So as to Ron Armstead, everything is
Speaker 1: so so good. He's so patient getting to his spots,
Speaker 1: the initial moves, the counter moves, the variety of those moves.
Speaker 1: He's got an answer for everything you want to throw
Speaker 1: at him. Hutchinson really emptied his entire arsenal in this game,
Speaker 1: and I thought it was funny watching him get frustrated
Speaker 1: as the game went along because he didn't get anything,
Speaker 1: and those off tackle runs to t Stad's side. He
Speaker 1: just makes his sets and approaches look so similar. It
Speaker 1: reminds me of great pitchers in baseball, and really Felix Fernandez,
Speaker 1: who's fastball and change up look the exact same, but
Speaker 1: it's ten miles an hour difference. Which how do you
Speaker 1: hit that? No one did hit Felix. It's tough to
Speaker 1: tell what he's doing until it's too late for the
Speaker 1: defensive end. Is he coming to get me in pass pro?
Speaker 1: Is he coming to get me in the running blocking game? Oh?
Speaker 1: There goes the back. It's it's tough to deal with.
Speaker 1: He widened the b gap for Raheem's twelve yard pop
Speaker 1: in this game that you could have driven a mack
Speaker 1: truck through. John Madden would have been going crazy over
Speaker 1: that one. Rest in peace, John Mann. Rob Hunt got
Speaker 1: a great pancake block on the holding call on the
Speaker 1: second drive where he just worked down the line and
Speaker 1: buried a defender. He does that every single week. Brandon
Speaker 1: Shell is really really good. He's really good the pulling
Speaker 1: play side. Early in this game, he gets himself a
Speaker 1: bang outside the numbers where he wallops a linebacker and
Speaker 1: takes him off the play that's so tough to do
Speaker 1: in space for a for a big offensive lineman. I
Speaker 1: can't tell you how hard that is for an offensive
Speaker 1: lineman to do. This man had so many disrespectful reps.
Speaker 1: And I'm saying that in the most like the most
Speaker 1: complementary way I can about an offensive lineman just holding
Speaker 1: guys off with one arm while the feet are still moving,
Speaker 1: like I got you. I'm checking someone else, but I
Speaker 1: got you over here, like get away a little bugger,
Speaker 1: and then hits the initial punch with such force that
Speaker 1: guys are bouncing off of him. He made Hutchinson look
Speaker 1: like a child at times in this game. It's it's
Speaker 1: impressive man in the past bro, it just doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to matter if he has to honor the inside or
Speaker 1: outside post, going either direction. You can tell at second
Speaker 1: nature for him to engage and then keep his feet
Speaker 1: under his knees, under his hips, under his shoulders. He's
Speaker 1: not often pushed pulled off balance. He can rework his
Speaker 1: hands to get back into favorable positions if he loses initially,
Speaker 1: he's really good man. The play after the rep that
Speaker 1: we that made me right the above, he has to
Speaker 1: reach a four eye technique, he gets all the way inside,
Speaker 1: latches on, then you see him just flip his butt
Speaker 1: into the gap and wallet off. He's playing at an
Speaker 1: unbelievably high level right now on you know, on a
Speaker 1: variety of looks uh leam, Eichenberg Man. The injury shure sucks,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. But he's playing because he was playing so
Speaker 1: well these last two games. There's examples of him sifting
Speaker 1: through rush games and picking up the right guy by
Speaker 1: squaring him up getting pushed. In the Running game, there
Speaker 1: was a snap where he pulled on run action then
Speaker 1: sells into past protection, just patiently gets to a spot
Speaker 1: in control, drops the anchor, and stops the rush dead
Speaker 1: in his tracks. His pad level was also exceptional in
Speaker 1: this game. He was digging out guys who were playing
Speaker 1: low themselves to get movement on a guy who clearly
Speaker 1: wants to just jam up a gap. That's the mark
Speaker 1: of a great run blocker. I thought Liam was doing
Speaker 1: it very well in this game. I also just thought
Speaker 1: he was great hitting guys on chips and combos in
Speaker 1: a way that stunned him, that allowed Connor William's job
Speaker 1: to be easier, where he would just swallow him up
Speaker 1: like swallow guys up like he does so often. And
Speaker 1: then Rob Jones the first snap that he gets second
Speaker 1: level wall off on Raheem most starts twelve yard run.
Speaker 1: On Raheem's nine yard run to start the last drive,
Speaker 1: he took a man three gaps away from the place.
Speaker 1: Maybe Rob Jones can play too. I don't know everyone's
Speaker 1: playing it on the offensive line right now. The sacks,
Speaker 1: the first one was just a great call execution timing
Speaker 1: by Malcolm Rodriguez. He timed up his run in a
Speaker 1: way that made him tough to I d with late movement,
Speaker 1: but he's got the quickness to get in their fast
Speaker 1: two and never had a chance. And then hat tipped
Speaker 1: to them on that one. But also the second one
Speaker 1: that was similar because they brought more guys that we
Speaker 1: could block and they just time their bits as well.
Speaker 1: That's all it was. Sometimes the defense wins. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead AND's been over to the defense here. Uh, let's
Speaker 1: take our second break here in a minute. We'll get
Speaker 1: to this in the snap counts. But some interesting formations
Speaker 1: we haven't seen a lot of. We saw more seven
Speaker 1: man fronts, and we have all season. The fewest Nickel
Speaker 1: looks we've seen all year, and a lot of that
Speaker 1: has to do by the Lin's offense. We talked about
Speaker 1: their propensity to play those twelve personnel packages in the
Speaker 1: wake of some receiver injuries they've had. Did a lot
Speaker 1: in the game here as well, but we also stayed
Speaker 1: in those base looks against some eleven personnel packages. But
Speaker 1: that allowed the lines to get some favorable passing matchups
Speaker 1: against our linebackers. I think it's something you're gonna see
Speaker 1: going forward if you do that more so, maybe you
Speaker 1: need an ability to counter that. Maybe, Jane Kendal Duke Riley,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Speed to me is the answer to that, honestly.
Speaker 1: I just thought the Lions did a really good job
Speaker 1: with their spacing and Goff saw it really well. Those
Speaker 1: big plays are the big play of t J. Hockinson.
Speaker 1: McKinley clamps the flat hall and rotates over the top,
Speaker 1: but the ball is just out before we can get there.
Speaker 1: It's good quarterback play. He really did well to take
Speaker 1: advantage of some of the space on zero looks Jared
Speaker 1: Goff did and throw out to spots with anticipation. He
Speaker 1: played a great game. First play of the game, we
Speaker 1: miss a tackle and stand over the guy and taunt
Speaker 1: him at mid which puts the ball at midfield. That's
Speaker 1: just ridiculous start of the game. That's gotta get cleaned up. Uh.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift touchdown is a tough route for Baker to
Speaker 1: cover with a two way go. You know, Swift stems him,
Speaker 1: squares him up and then you're gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: of guys in that situation. But he really got Baker
Speaker 1: good with a little head nod outside, widened him and
Speaker 1: then bend back across face with a touchdown. We did
Speaker 1: see Baker's best later in the game, taking on two
Speaker 1: blockers on his pick stunt to free up Zack Seeler.
Speaker 1: That's where he's best a gap brushes, get pressure on
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Love seeing him back in that role. Plenty
Speaker 1: of variety in this game from a coverage standpoint. I
Speaker 1: think between that and the fact that you had so
Speaker 1: many new pieces out there, so many new members of
Speaker 1: the defense with different looks, like the deep ball of
Speaker 1: Cliff Rayman cover three, we wind up jumping short and
Speaker 1: don't take the deep third. There's a conversation there between
Speaker 1: a couple of players about what happens on that place so,
Speaker 1: and I think that when you're working at these young
Speaker 1: guys in all this depth you have from to call upon,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some of that. I think there was
Speaker 1: more of that in this game than there have been
Speaker 1: in the previous really several games here for this Dolphin secondary.
Speaker 1: Then penalties. Obviously we're a killer, always seemingly coming at
Speaker 1: times where we get stops too, although eight accepted penalties
Speaker 1: tells you there was other times as well. But just
Speaker 1: gotta get that cleaned up. Man. Jillen Phillips was again
Speaker 1: really good. The second player of the game was crazy man.
Speaker 1: There's a crackback on his outside shoulder from receiver and
Speaker 1: a lead pull on his inside shoulder from the guard.
Speaker 1: He splits those two and then ends back out, leaves
Speaker 1: them both blocking each other, and strings DeAndre Swift out
Speaker 1: to the sideline for a gain of one. I hope
Speaker 1: you can appreciate how good that is despite it not
Speaker 1: being a splash play. He had a really nice rush
Speaker 1: on a throw where Golf has to speed up his
Speaker 1: entire operation at the end of the first half where
Speaker 1: Taylor Decker came and got him and tried to shorten
Speaker 1: the runway, but Phillips just dipped the shoulder and used
Speaker 1: the acceleration to shorten the corner and forced Golf off
Speaker 1: of his spot. He had another really good game, so
Speaker 1: does Zach Seeler. Just awesome. If he wasn't resetting the
Speaker 1: line in the running game or winning with his pass rush,
Speaker 1: he was getting his hands up and impacting the quarterback's
Speaker 1: vision and getting his hands on football's His strength is
Speaker 1: on display on the sack man. He got knocked back
Speaker 1: on the left guard on that sack with the initial
Speaker 1: punch and then loops around and flattens to Golf. Exceptional
Speaker 1: rep teaching tape there from Zach Seeler. On his very
Speaker 1: next snap the next drive, he just completely discards the
Speaker 1: left guard and puts more heat on Jared Goff. Then
Speaker 1: the next series he takes his man right into the backfield,
Speaker 1: gets off the block and makes a TfL. He had
Speaker 1: a bunch of big plays and that really good second
Speaker 1: half from the Dolphins defense. Og Ball was in on
Speaker 1: the sack as well, with the pressure of his own
Speaker 1: had another great rap later in the game where on
Speaker 1: the on the final drive I should say, where he
Speaker 1: made Golf feel him and made a move off the
Speaker 1: spot so ag Boston good late past rushes. Duke Riley
Speaker 1: had a great plan of swing route where he got
Speaker 1: underneath the blocker and closed down for a huge TfL,
Speaker 1: but it was a penalty. I just think his speed
Speaker 1: and his collision show up every single week. Cater Man,
Speaker 1: I come out of games, even if there's a couple
Speaker 1: of plays you'd like to have back, so impressed by
Speaker 1: his ability to stay in phase and coverage. He's to
Speaker 1: me he's the second best cover guy in the team
Speaker 1: right now, not giving up lot of separation in situations
Speaker 1: where he's up and press. He made a heck of
Speaker 1: a play on the game winning fourth and two stop
Speaker 1: running right with the wide receiver not getting grabby when
Speaker 1: Reynolds extended his hands and put his hands on Cater
Speaker 1: That can cause a natural reaction to grab back, and
Speaker 1: sometimes rest will flag that. Plus, his tackling is so
Speaker 1: consistently great, not good great. I thought X was close
Speaker 1: a few times, but overall not his best game. He'd
Speaker 1: give a step off the line a few times and
Speaker 1: then was in chase and golf was so accurate that
Speaker 1: he couldn't really pull those vintage undercut I n T s.
Speaker 1: We've gotten so used to seeing with him, but it
Speaker 1: was close a few times, just didn't quite make a play.
Speaker 1: Javon Holland had so many big hits, and there was
Speaker 1: a play on the first drive where the tight end
Speaker 1: gets free and Javan just comes downhill and wallops him.
Speaker 1: On the second drive, he flies in and cuts down
Speaker 1: Swift in a one on one situation in the gap.
Speaker 1: His play speed against the run and passes up there
Speaker 1: with the best of the position. His punch out on
Speaker 1: that st brown and completion was a thing of beauty,
Speaker 1: clicks and clothes. Is quick enough to get over the
Speaker 1: top and then hits the strikes down with the punch man.
Speaker 1: When a game he played upon that rewatch, getting off
Speaker 1: blocks out wide on screens, just chucking guys out of
Speaker 1: the club, arriving with big collisions. I'm surprised he hasn't
Speaker 1: jarred more balls free this year, the way he squares
Speaker 1: guys up and runs through his tacklers just rather punishing.
Speaker 1: He got some more opportunities down in the box in
Speaker 1: this game and made the most of them. I thought,
Speaker 1: I hope we see more of that stringing out runs
Speaker 1: sure tackling on shorthook cup passes, fighting through screens, rushing
Speaker 1: the quarterback. He really does it all man Keion crossings
Speaker 1: coverage and that slot fade was textbook perfect. Too bad
Speaker 1: it was he raising an off sides penalty. Thought no
Speaker 1: eg Bnalogady got lost in space a couple of times.
Speaker 1: Thought von McKinley's instincts were on on display, but also
Speaker 1: a little bit slow a few times to get over
Speaker 1: the top on some plays. And then the final four
Speaker 1: plays of the game. First down, Christian Wilkins stacks double team,
Speaker 1: Steeler beats his block as they team up for a
Speaker 1: TfL and ray Kwon Davis held his ground there too.
Speaker 1: Great rep from all three of those guys to get
Speaker 1: that first down stop. Second down, og Ball's bull rush
Speaker 1: runs the right guard right into the quarterback. Phillips wins
Speaker 1: off the opposite edge and it makes Golf throw mesh
Speaker 1: before it can develop. And good thing too, because it
Speaker 1: was wide open and I think st. Brown might have
Speaker 1: had a huge play if we did not get those
Speaker 1: wins from Ogbond Phillips. Third down, good on good Man,
Speaker 1: good coverage, good job finding the check down by Golf,
Speaker 1: and then a great effort by Hawkinson to make it
Speaker 1: fourth and two and then fourth down we dial up
Speaker 1: zero coverage X blankets. His man gets his best rep
Speaker 1: of the day. Cater does the exact same thing cross
Speaker 1: and gets a good jam on the other side. The
Speaker 1: pass rush does not get home, so there's time this time,
Speaker 1: but Golf takes the shot down field because of good coverage.
Speaker 1: Cater makes the play. We talked about what a four
Speaker 1: place stand for the defense to get off the field
Speaker 1: for the last time. Let's go ahead and our last
Speaker 1: break right here. We'll come back and do the numbers.
Speaker 1: We'll do snap counts. We will do Mike mcdonnel's press
Speaker 1: conference on Monday afternoon. That's next Drivetime podcast, your host
Speaker 1: Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. Final segment
Speaker 1: here on a Tuesday edition of the Drivetime podcast The Autopsy,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite podcasts do every single week. Let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and pick it back up with the numbers here,
Speaker 1: starting with PFF next jan leaderboards to A in the game.
Speaker 1: These are gonna sound fake, by the way, because they
Speaker 1: just sound fake. Twenty plus air yards four for five
Speaker 1: one thirty one a touchdown, a perfect passer rating ten
Speaker 1: to nineteen eleven for thirteen one sixty three and two
Speaker 1: touchdowns and a perfect passer rating. You put all throws
Speaker 1: of ten plus air yards together, It's fifteen for eighteen,
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety four yards, three touchdowns, and a
Speaker 1: perfect passer rating when he was blitzed seven of eight
Speaker 1: for a hundred yards, a touchdown, and a perfect passer
Speaker 1: rating when he was not blitzed twenty eight with two
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two yards and two touchdowns and a
Speaker 1: one thirty two point four passer rating when he was
Speaker 1: under pressure four for seven eighty six yards and a
Speaker 1: one sixteen point seven passerwading. He was percentile and e
Speaker 1: p a per play, nine percentile on a DOT percentile
Speaker 1: and completion percentage over expected, and those are measured for
Speaker 1: all quarterbacks in all games. Those are the percentiles this
Speaker 1: game ranked for two a tongue of by Low. On
Speaker 1: the season twenty plus air yard throws, he's fifteen for
Speaker 1: twenty four for four eighty seven, four touchdowns and two picks.
Speaker 1: In the ten to nineteen yard range, he's thirty nine
Speaker 1: for fifty seven with six sixty five five touchdowns and
Speaker 1: a pick. Total ten plus air yard throws this year
Speaker 1: fifty four eight one, one thousand one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: two yards, nine teddies, three picks in a passer rating
Speaker 1: of one thirty one point three. Yeah, that's sixty seven percent.
Speaker 1: Completion percentage on ten plus air yard throws would be
Speaker 1: eight among all other quarterbacks on all throws. Take away
Speaker 1: all his passes under ten air yards, the one that
Speaker 1: he apparently only ever throws right, and he's still eighth
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and completion percentage insane. Only eight teen
Speaker 1: point eight percent of the yards that we had on
Speaker 1: Sunday came after the catch. So that narrative that I
Speaker 1: heard a lot about on Sunday, watch the game. One
Speaker 1: drew two on the year. Passer rating one twelve point
Speaker 1: seven first y p A nine point oh first QBR
Speaker 1: seventy eight point eight first net yards per attempt that
Speaker 1: includes sack yards lost eight point three one yards per
Speaker 1: drop back. It's first touchdown percentage six point five third
Speaker 1: yards per game to eighty seventy nine point seven seven,
Speaker 1: interception rate one point six percent, seventh average depth of
Speaker 1: target nine point three yards, the third highest. Those two
Speaker 1: numbers can bind the A dot and the interception rate
Speaker 1: is incredible. Time to throw two point five seven seconds
Speaker 1: is the fifth quickest ball out rate completion percentage over
Speaker 1: expected two point two plus. That's tied for second in
Speaker 1: the NFL e p A per place point one eight.
Speaker 1: That's first among all quarterbacks. By the way, the e
Speaker 1: p A stat you get Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes to a tongue of by load like that's that's
Speaker 1: the names we're talking here. How about the wide outs.
Speaker 1: Jalen and Tyreek combined to catch twenty twenty three targets
Speaker 1: l O L for two nine four yards l O
Speaker 1: L and two scores combine. That's twelve point eight yards
Speaker 1: per target. Tyreek had thirteen point four per target, five
Speaker 1: point eight eight yards per route ran number two yards
Speaker 1: per rout rands Good five point eight eight, Jalen eleven
Speaker 1: point seven yards per target, three point one two yards
Speaker 1: per route rand, Kausiki had nine point five yards per target,
Speaker 1: and Sheffield had twelve point five yards per target. Tyreek
Speaker 1: leads the NFL and catches with sixty nine and receiving
Speaker 1: yards with nine sixty one. He's also first with a
Speaker 1: hundred twenty point one receiving yards per game and first
Speaker 1: downs with forty one. He's sixth and yards per target
Speaker 1: at ten point four. That's among qualifying receivers with thirty
Speaker 1: or more targets. Waddle is fourth and receiving with seven
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven yards and thirteenth with forty two catches.
Speaker 1: He's tied for fourth with his five touchdown grabs and
Speaker 1: tied for fourth with his thirty four first down catches.
Speaker 1: He's third with eleven point five yards per target. How
Speaker 1: about our running backs? For he Mostard had another three
Speaker 1: point one four yards after the contact day on four
Speaker 1: point six average. Overall, he slipped two more tackles, had
Speaker 1: three runs of ten plus yards, and ran for four
Speaker 1: first downs. In his last four games Whereheim has twelve
Speaker 1: miss tackles, forced eleven runs of ten plus yards. He
Speaker 1: has a first down conversion rate of twenty four point
Speaker 1: two percent. Fifteen of his twenty six runs, sixty two
Speaker 1: runs have been first downs, and he's averaging three and
Speaker 1: a half yards after initial contact. Pressure rate last week
Speaker 1: was eight point six, pressure rate best in two his
Speaker 1: career Sunday in Detroit nine point five second best to
Speaker 1: run arms as the only player with multiple pressures allowed.
Speaker 1: Both were hurries to Inglden smith Smyth tab with the
Speaker 1: other two pressures, so between Eikenberg and Jones, Williams, Hunt
Speaker 1: and Shell no pressures allowed. On the defense pressures, Jalen
Speaker 1: Phillips had seven, Zack Heeler had three, Manuel Ogma had
Speaker 1: to Holland and ray Kwon Davis both had one run stops.
Speaker 1: Seiler had five, Baker had two, and nine guys had one.
Speaker 1: By the way, Jalen Phillips now to thirty two pressures
Speaker 1: this year is tied for eight among all edge rushers.
Speaker 1: Coverage yards and allowed yard is allowed. Her coverage snaps
Speaker 1: and yards allowed x forty two and forty two one.
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty good. Kator co who forty and fifty two,
Speaker 1: Egg seventy one, Holland thirty five one twenty three. He
Speaker 1: got tied with two big completions. McKinley thirty five no targets.
Speaker 1: Justin Bethel ten coverage snaps and no targets. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and talk about our snap counts in this game.
Speaker 1: Very busy day here, keep up on the podcast. We
Speaker 1: almost got another game of wire to wire offensive line
Speaker 1: play of course, sixty eight snaps for the four guys.
Speaker 1: Leam Myichenberg plays fifty three, and Robert Jones gives you
Speaker 1: fifteen quality snaps at left guard to of plays all
Speaker 1: sixty eight snaps. At wide receiver, Waddle had fifty two
Speaker 1: and Tyreek had forty nine. That's right around seventy for
Speaker 1: each of those guys. Trent Sherfield clearly the number three
Speaker 1: receiver at this point forty snaps. That's sixty percent of
Speaker 1: the workload for him. The running back workload where he
Speaker 1: most at sixty five percent with forty four snaps. Chase
Speaker 1: Edmonds gets two percent with sixteen snaps, and Savon Akmed
Speaker 1: got three snaps as well. At tight end, Mike sick
Speaker 1: leads away thirty one snaps. Actually, him and Durham tied
Speaker 1: thirty one apiece, and then Tanner Conner had two snaps
Speaker 1: in the game and Hunter Long had seventeen. How I
Speaker 1: skip over that. Let's see Let's go to the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the football here, Holland, Baker, and Howard all
Speaker 1: played all sixty snaps. Kater co who played fifties seven,
Speaker 1: Christian wilkins Man eight five again for that guy, and
Speaker 1: Zach Seeler played one snap feed or fifty snaps for
Speaker 1: Zack Seeler Phillips his conditions great forty nine snaps for him.
Speaker 1: McKinley got eight percent of the workload in that safety position,
Speaker 1: so that's really what you look at in terms of
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps having just one safety on the field.
Speaker 1: The other ones kind of went to Royan McKinley at linebacker.
Speaker 1: Landon Roberts played thirty five snaps. Baker played all of them.
Speaker 1: What we got here. Duke Riley played twenty seven of
Speaker 1: the snaps. Manuel ogbab gives you thirty two and ray
Speaker 1: Kawon Davis gives you thirty three. Upfront, so you kind
Speaker 1: of can see where the rotation pieces are. Melvin Ingram
Speaker 1: gets sixteen in the game, Andrew van Giko gets twenty five.
Speaker 1: It's kind of starting to work itself out where you
Speaker 1: see what rotations they are using, although it does change
Speaker 1: week to week but based upon the game plan. But
Speaker 1: you can kind of see some consistency here in the
Speaker 1: snap counts. Eggny nineteen snaps, key On Crossing fort and
Speaker 1: Justin Bethel eleven. Uh John Jenkins played nine, Clayton Federalum
Speaker 1: three and Sam edg Van got on the field first half.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and pick up coach Mike McDaniels Monday
Speaker 1: afternoon press conference, he said, we're not going to see
Speaker 1: Austin Jackson back on the field this week or in
Speaker 1: this game on Sunday. Gets the Bears still taking it
Speaker 1: day by day, doesn't anticipate we'll see him sooner rather
Speaker 1: than later. Let's see good news on on Leah Mikenberg,
Speaker 1: m c l. Sprain gonna be out for some time,
Speaker 1: but we don't know the exact timeline yet, but doesn't
Speaker 1: have the torn all the l C all the c
Speaker 1: L s, I think is what coach had about that
Speaker 1: No Byron Jones this week yet either. Let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and play the four sound bites that I wanted to
Speaker 1: get to here with coach McDaniel, starting with what he
Speaker 1: sees on the offensive line, how they're jelling so quick,
Speaker 1: or what's causing him to gel at this point of
Speaker 1: the season. Here's coach, you know, I think it's continued
Speaker 1: um deliberate work that you know once we got into
Speaker 1: the season. Um, there's some different adjustment that you have
Speaker 1: to make. Um uh when as an offensive lindman, when
Speaker 1: you're preparing for different um play styles from defensive linement
Speaker 1: on a week by week a week basis. UM. I think, um,
Speaker 1: there's been a uh you know one of the the
Speaker 1: old line enthusiasts himself. I think, uh, the Frank Smith
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator has done a great job working
Speaker 1: with those um uh, working with offensive line coaches as well,
Speaker 1: and we've just really tried to emphasize certain fundamentals and
Speaker 1: techniques and get get back to our um uh really
Speaker 1: are are roots within UM? How do you how do
Speaker 1: you approach each and every block so UM, long and
Speaker 1: short of it is hard work and deliberate work and
Speaker 1: investment in their jobs and they get they're starting to
Speaker 1: see better results that we that we're accounting on to
Speaker 1: continue to improve as a season progresses. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: underestimate Frank's most value to those football team and he
Speaker 1: has been been a really nice piece here for the
Speaker 1: Dolphins offensive staff. Next, on the defensive side of the ball,
Speaker 1: coach was asked about Javon Hollands leadership. This is a
Speaker 1: great comment here from coach about our star young safety. Well,
Speaker 1: it's just um, it's not only yesterday making UM important
Speaker 1: plays UM, but the energy, the command, UM, the responsibility
Speaker 1: he takes the pressure he puts on himself, and UM,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's impressive to watch someone go from
Speaker 1: uh ediquated to be being like a sophomore in high
Speaker 1: school because he was just a freshman, right, he goes
Speaker 1: from being like a sophomore to a senior like real quick. Um,
Speaker 1: that's kind of what it what it feels like in
Speaker 1: terms of his leadership, UM skills, and that's it's transferred
Speaker 1: to his to his play, but also his teammates play
Speaker 1: and how they're playing together. Um. And I thought that,
Speaker 1: you know, some of the best opportunities to be a
Speaker 1: leader and to really show your true colors is making
Speaker 1: plays on the back half of a game that you're
Speaker 1: experiencing a lot of frustration within. You know you can't.
Speaker 1: Those are moments where, um, the people straining at the
Speaker 1: you know, making plays in the second half after um,
Speaker 1: you give up twenty seven first half points. Um, those
Speaker 1: are the people that end up winning games in this
Speaker 1: league because you're gonna have to survive some onslaughts at
Speaker 1: some at some point and not have any excuse to
Speaker 1: try to get the the W. That's awesome, awesome stuff
Speaker 1: there on Javon holl Let's go ahead and finish up
Speaker 1: with coach. I wanted to ask him, you know, he
Speaker 1: had gave us a great little sound bite about what
Speaker 1: plays stood out to him about to was game. After
Speaker 1: the fact, I wanted to ask him what else did
Speaker 1: out to you after you had a chance to go
Speaker 1: back and watch the tape. Here's coach talking about two
Speaker 1: was high level playing the game on Sunday. Um, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was. There was, UM a considerable amount of UM
Speaker 1: plays that he made that that I thought, UM were
Speaker 1: high level UM quarterback play and that he was UM
Speaker 1: seeing the defense appropriately, UM you know, checking things down
Speaker 1: when he needed to, but UM, you know, really really
Speaker 1: putting guys in a position to succeed. There's some you know,
Speaker 1: UM ball placement stuff that you could see on film,
Speaker 1: particularly one to jail and waddle in the red zone.
Speaker 1: A couple of his UM red zone plays in general
Speaker 1: were signs of a confident quarterback. That's um really starting
Speaker 1: to uh get comfortable in the system and and comfortable
Speaker 1: playing the position within the system, which is the most
Speaker 1: important part. All right, there you go. Really fun podcast
Speaker 1: has to do, really fun tape to watch. I apologize
