How's it going everybody? 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.240 I am your host, Travis Wingfield, And on today's show, 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.400 it has been entirely too long since we heard the 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.000 theme music, and by that I mean two weeks. Go 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.760 ahead and cute up play the song. Waks twin win 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:38.279 win win win. Yeah, whin win win win. That's right, 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.680 the Dolphins are back in the winner circle thanks to 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.800 a thirty to nothing shutout over the Jets. That's a sweep. 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.040 That's seven of eight. That's eleven of the last thirteen. 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.360 That's three in a row. It's nine in a row 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:52.400 in that building across the street at hard Rock Stadium. 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.680 In fact, the last home loss to the Jets was 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.720 in London in twenty fifteen. We'll go over the game script. 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.640 We'll break down the key moments. We'll do five big 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.279 picture takeaways. We'll do the play. Before the play, we'll 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.080 hear from quarterback to a Tongua Ba Lowe. We'll hear 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.880 from head coach Mike McDaniel from the Baptist Health Studios 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:11.080 inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drive 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:16.520 Time podcast. That's another Miami Dolphins. We always start these 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.600 shows looking at the stats, and the stats were good 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.360 for the Miami Dolphins in this one. Thirty to nothing 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.520 is the final score, and it was comprehensive in every 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.720 sense of the words. Sixteen first downs to eleven. That 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.679 doesn't sound comprehensive, but I'll tell you why here in 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.040 just one second. Miami was six for fifteen on third down, 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.200 but at one point when Tua was still in the game, 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.960 they were six for eleven and one for one on fourth, 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.839 so very efficient in that regard. In fact, with Tua 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.160 under center against the Jets this season, Miami was seventeen 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:49.040 for twenty seven on third downs. That's that's gonna win 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:50.800 a lot of football games if you can do that. 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.520 The Jets were five for thirteen, but a lot of 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.880 those third down conversions were very late in the game. 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.760 Miami two for two on fourth, the Jets zero for two, 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.360 two hundred and ninety total yards to one of the three, 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.280 so not a crazy discrepancy at the end of the day, 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.639 but it was five and a half to one again 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.280 when the first team exited the game. At the end 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.040 of the third quarter. There two hundred and thirteen passing 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.040 yards to eighty passing yards, seventy seven rushing yards to 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.920 twenty three. The Jets ran the ball twelve times for 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.560 twenty three yards in the game. Miami had two more 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.400 plays fifty seven to fifty five. Kind of nice to 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:22.720 get out of a game where you don't have a 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:24.920 lot of you know, you've had games where you had 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.359 eighty snaps in the past, under sixty for both sides 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.160 of the football, So in and out pretty quickly. There 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.320 four turnovers for the Jets, none for your Miami Dolphins, 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.799 six sacks with the Dolphins, three for the Jets against 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.640 our offense, and the Dolphins had nine penalties for sixty 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.720 five yards the Jets seven for fifty five. Miami held 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.520 the ball for over thirty six minutes in this game, 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.200 So great stuff there all around for the Dolphins. We'll 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.120 sprinkle in some stats as we go along here because 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.760 Miami's numbers very, very good in this one. Before we 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.360 get to the game script, I want to go ahead 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.920 and play some audio here from Tua Tongueabailoa, who talked 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.320 a little bit about how the week was coming off 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.480 that difficult loss, short week, bad taste in your mouth, 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.880 and we felt it right. Fans were in a panic. 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.640 I was not my normal self all week long. But 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.760 that team, the guys that matter, the ones that put 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.160 the jersey on, they never wavered. 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.240 Throughout the week one. 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.880 No one changed what they did within their normal routines. 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:21.079 No one did more than what they'd normally do. Everyone 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.160 knew that what we had put out Monday night was 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.400 embarrassing and it felt weird as we came into the building, 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.360 and one thing we wanted to do was not feel 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.880 that feeling again. So in a way, guys were happy 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.840 that it was a short week that we got to 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:42.400 play again and you know, sort of exercise you know 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.000 a lot of the things that we didn't do right 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:48.920 and take the right step forward in winning and really 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.080 winning the way we did today. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.160 And the game began with the Dolphins on offense, which 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.280 has been a rarity, not just this year the last 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.960 two years, as they actually lost a coin toss and 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.480 began on offense, and the game began the way you 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.480 would think it would or would hope it would. No 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.760 Tyreek Hill, by the way, which if you haven't covered 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.080 the game at all, Dolphins have down several key parts 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.280 in this game. No Tyreek Hill. You know about the 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.560 injuries on the offensive line, Robert Hunt, Isaiah Win both 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.840 out of the game, win on ir No Connor Williams. 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.280 So your entire interior three are out. Your top receiver 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.440 is out. On defense, Xavi and Howard having a great year, 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.120 he was out. Javon Holland, your top safety, just Deshaun Elliott, 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.360 your other starting safety, Both those guys are out. No 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:30.360 Jerome Baker, no Jalen Phillips. You're down several critical parts 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.280 of like your top twenty players, like half of them 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.600 are out right. But Miami came out and threw some haymakers, 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.560 threw some punches and put themselves in position to win 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.159 this game early on, despite the fact that the opening 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.280 drive didn't go that way. Because Watad gets a couple 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.839 of catches for twenty one yards, He's making guys miss. 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.880 He looks good, he looks quick, and the ball's coming 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.240 out fast. They get a couple of runs off the perimeter. 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.160 But then you get a holding call that wipes out 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.760 a twenty yard gain two waddle down the middle of 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.120 the field, and he exits with an injury and goes 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.560 into the blue medical tent, luckily popped back out a 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.080 couple of plays later as back in the game after 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.640 the Dolphins got the football back because they punt the ball, 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.920 and then the Jets take the ball back over and 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.560 the dominance was apparent very early on. So the Jets 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.480 get the ball backed up in their own zone and 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.280 first down successful running play, and then Bradley Chubb, who 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.039 had a well of a game, beats a block and 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.440 gets a tackle for loss to create a third and six. 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.359 And then Christian Wilkins comes flying down the pike for 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.960 a big sack fumble on Zach Wilson, which, by the way, 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.680 Chubb was the one that knocked the ball out there too, 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.800 so he gets a couple of four fumbles in this one, 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.400 but Christian Wilkins first on the scene. They split the sack. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.720 Zach Seeler comes up one yard shy of his third 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.760 career touchdown two in as many weeks on the recovery 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.200 and just dominant, dominant, dominant from the Dolphins front. In fact, 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.160 most of Zach Wilson's early passes in this game were 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.960 him retreating and then throwing the ball at the legs 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.560 of his running back or tight end who's basically already 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.479 in pass protection because they couldn't block the edges or 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.200 the interior the entire game. I mean, this Dolphins front 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.000 in this pass rush has been ferocious. We'll come back 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:00.880 to that here in just one second. They get a 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.600 big takeaway early on to put the Dolphins right back 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.840 in scoring range. And I know you guys out there 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.640 love this. The first two results I didn't love, which 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.040 is so funny because McDaniel always touches on this right. 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.120 I like to play call if it works, and you're 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.360 an idiot if it doesn't work. But Dolphins take over 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.320 first and goal stuffed, second and goal stuffed, and that 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.360 one lost yardage. So now it's third and goal from 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.440 the three yard line. And here's what I love about it, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.560 because this spot is the tendency breaker. And we'll come 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.480 back to this in the in the takeaways, because it's 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.120 a big takeaway for me that the Dolphins created this 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.000 touchdown situation because the Jets were expecting pass and you 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.360 could feel that they were in man coverage. All the 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.720 dbs and the guys that had responsibility in terms of 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.520 eligibles in the passing game, they had eyes on the eligibles. 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.040 And so when Miami motions a receiver from the week's 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.159 side of the formation back across the formation, it opens 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.640 up the outside lane and all it took was a 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.760 tearan armstead seal off the edge and it's a walk 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.640 in a cruise in touchdown, which, by the way, is 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.080 a record for Raheem moster. It can grad to Raheem. 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.800 He scored two touchdowns in this game, so twenty total 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.000 eighteen rushing. Those are both Miami Dolphins records. Put a 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:08.560 pin in that we're going to come back on the 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.600 takeaways and talk about that so quickly seven to nothing 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.600 in a spot you kind of felt like, let's get 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.920 it early start. Let's dampen this quarterback who hasn't had 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.280 back to back good games in his career, just came 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.640 off the best game of his career. Let's take that 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.760 confidence and zap it right away. And what better way 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.200 than three guys putting a big hit on him and 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.920 shripsacking him and turn the ball over and scoring seven 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.760 points right off the bat. That is how you start, 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.160 That's how you respond to a tough week. You love, love, love, 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:37.920 love to see it. They just get the football back 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.040 and it's more of the same. David Long down the 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.720 middle for a big pressure right in the face of 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.360 Zach Wilson. Bradley Chubb gets a big stop that creates 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.280 a third and six and then they convert. They convert 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.120 after that their first first down of the game. But 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.360 it wasn't much more after that because you get great 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.720 coverage from Van Ginkle, which, by the way, our play 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.680 before the play goes to Andrew van Ginkle on second 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.720 and four where he has Tyler Conklin, who if you 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.080 listen to the preview podcast, we talked about how the 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.280 Jets want to throw these covered seam balls and covered 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.680 perimeter balls with tight ends on the linebackers. They feel 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.360 that's a mismatch for them with either Tyler Conklin or 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.400 Jeremy Ruckert. They try it, but you're not going to 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.760 do it on Andrew Van Ginkle because he runs step 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.720 for step with Conklin, puts his punch between the hands 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.119 and separates them, creates an incompletion. The very next play, 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.920 Eli Apple, who's getting significantly more playing time, and he's 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.559 been inactive for a few games this year. By getting 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.880 more playing time because you don't have Xavier and Howard, 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.320 he steps up and has great coverage on a man 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.400 coverage responsibility on a crossing route. Do you guys know 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.760 how difficult of an assignment that is to run all 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.160 the way across the field and stay in stride with 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.800 an NFL receiver and the speed day feature and the 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.840 accuracy of NFL quarterbacks, It's a tough ask. He gets 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.480 his hand in there, punches it out, and all of 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.679 a sudden, the Jets have a fourth and four and 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.840 they fake the punt. Good thing that Christian Wilkins has 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.200 all the discipline in the world. He's all over it, 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.840 beats his block gets in there and meets Duke Riley 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.040 and shuts it down. So immediately Miami back in scoring range, 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.280 and they put together one of the strangest drives you'll 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.120 ever see because of some penalties and some kind of 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.400 methodical approach. It's a nine play, twenty seven yard drive 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.480 that goes through the uprights to make the game ten 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:17.400 nothing and more. Excellent scheming and game planning because they 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.720 put themselves in a third and short after a Claypool 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.600 screen gain six and then a flip to eight chan 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.480 for two. So third and three and they get or 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.800 third and two rather they get eight chan motion out 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.400 of the backfield into the flat, and you wind up 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.079 with the linebacker chasing him. And it's easy pitch and catch, 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:35.360 exploit that man coverage, decipher pre snap, exploit it after 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.760 the snap to a very decisive just was playing on 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.360 time and in rhythm and moving guys with a manipulation. 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.400 Cannot wait to come back and watch this tape. He 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.280 comes back and Durham smythe for another first down on 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.360 this drive, and then Miami kind of bogged down with 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.320 a couple of penalties. So the first drive and now 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.839 the third drive both had penalties kind of pushed them 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.600 back off their track and off of their you know, 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.600 their schedule. They were staying on early in the game. 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.040 And they have to kick a field goal here, but 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.360 it goes through the uprights ten nothing, and the way 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.920 the defense is playing, I mean, that was all they 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:04.559 were gonna need in this one, because the Jets on 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.960 the very next series they go three and out once again, 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.640 where David Long and Christian Wilkins I thought in addition 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.160 to Bradley Chubb, were not just two of the best 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.559 players on the field today, two of the best performances 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.439 with Chubb, So I should say three three of the 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.520 best performances I've seen from Dolphins defenders all year long. 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.840 David Long was so fast and so quick and so 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:26.840 deconstructing blocks in a almost perfect kind of way. He 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.559 was dominant Christian Wilkins, whether it was front side flow, backside, 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.959 break back from the running back, he was all over 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.560 the place. Pass rush, he shuts this first play down, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.480 you get Bradley Chubb who oversets Makai Beckton then wins 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.040 right inside for an easy sack on Zach Wilson. They 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.480 draw it on third and twenty four, ball right back 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.480 to Miami, but the Dolphins go three and out and 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.480 kick the football back to the Jets. And this is 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.520 actually kind of funny because there was a sack on 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.360 third and three which the Jets went cover zero and 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.760 Miami was empty. So once the first or second read's 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.959 not there for that, the pressure's going to arrive because 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.280 they had zero pressure. Is zero coverage and simulated pressure 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.800 up at the lion of scrimmage. And I told seth 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.720 this in the press box. I said, that's actually a 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.320 good sack because Tua didn't force that. We stayed, you know, 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.280 on the plus side of the field and the way 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.839 this game is going to go, manage the game the 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.240 way you expect your defense to play as well. And 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.400 then we get down to the postgame radio for it, 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.080 and OJ's talking about these good sacks that Tua took. 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.560 And then we get to the press, the postgame press conference, 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.480 and McDaniel says, that's one of the best sacks that 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.120 Tuoa could take right there because of the fact that 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.120 he's not forcing the ball into pressure and you know, 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.480 throwing the ball into this tight coverage. And I want 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.439 to go ahead and play the audio because we were 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.440 all in lockstep and thinking that Tua, because of the 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.880 university he's faced this season and the decisions he's made 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.080 and kind of that rollodex of plays in the back 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.360 of his mind, one of the smartest quarterbacks we've ever 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.360 been around, right, A guy that can tell you what 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.640 the route combination, the pressure in the front, and the 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.280 protection on his Alabama Devonte Smith game winning touchdown passing 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.960 the National Championship. He can recall all that for you now, 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.320 what is it eight years after the fact. So this 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.840 is a quarterback that can process that stuff very quickly. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.040 So he's able to take his lessons earlier in the 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.600 year and apply him to critical situations in a key 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.960 December football game against a division opponent. Let's go ahead 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.000 and play some audio here from McDaniel, who touched on 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.319 Tua's performance. He was asked about not just the outside 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.800 noise that Tua had heard this week, because if you're 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.440 on social media, you hear it. But we know that 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.760 TWOA is not on social media. But McDaniel was asked 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.359 about the outside noise and the questioning of his performances, 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.199 and he eventually gets to this thought about to his 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.280 growth as a player. Let's go ahead and show this 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.120 audio here with coach talking about the sacks being ultimately 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:32.040 probably a good thing. 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.760 It's not like we talk about that, but noise is loud. 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.880 You embrace adversity for the opportunity that it is. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.480 But it did far from surprise me. I could tell 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:47.000 all week. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.040 You know there are certain things that him, in particular 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.640 him and Jalen Waddell were doing together that I knew 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.360 they were going to be able to do. Some explosive stuff, 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:04.240 and he really did a great job playing within the play. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.559 There's a couple of times that there was a shot 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.319 down the field. I think on the two sacks, if 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.199 he would have had a a tick longer, he probably 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.840 would have thrown the ball, but it would have been 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.560 he would have been pressing to do it. And you know, 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.200 so I was really tired of about his sacks, to 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:29.840 be honest. And you know, I think I think you're 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.920 what we're watching as a team is a bunch of 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:38.679 young players really coming into their own and he's one 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:43.600 of the primary ones to is because he's he's not 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.840 he's learning from everything. It doesn't mean everything goes well. Again, 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.080 I think that's fake and that that that would make 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.560 me nervous if at this point in the season we 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:58.600 hadn't gone through adversity, just because I know what is coming. 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.520 So oh, I think that it was a. 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:09.080 Great example of him worried about the right stuff, which 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:13.840 is his responsibility each and every play, and he was. 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.720 He definitely commanded the game entirely. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.920 So it's not it's not points, but it's not a turnover. Right, 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.720 So the Jets get the football back again deep in 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.080 their own zone, and once again the Dolphins just continue 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.960 to collapse the pocket with Bradley Chubb inside outside, going 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.560 on stunts, rushing one on one. It just didn't matter. 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.040 They could not block the guy. And then Zach Steeler 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:34.880 finishes the drive off with a sack of his own 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.120 where he just walked the left guard all the way 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:38.880 into the quarterback and then once it was time to 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.560 make the play, toss him aside and go get the quarterback. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.680 Like this front did whatever they wanted to do all 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:46.920 game long, and it was a blast to watch. And 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.080 then Miami pays it off just one play later because 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.920 Quinn Williams was doing the Wattle sack dance or the 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.640 Wattle touchdown dance on his sack. Should have done that, 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.440 my friend, because one play later Miami dials up a shot. 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.720 It's two on a sixty yard dime, and this thing 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.280 was let go as Waddle makes this double move break, which, 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:05.960 by the way, let's just's pull this back a little bit, 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.960 because I've talked about this to people that I talked 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.560 to in my group chat, I've talked about it on 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.320 the postgame pregame radio, I've talked about it hearing the podcast. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.520 Anybody that wants to hear about it. I can show 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.840 you tape and this goes back to Wattle's rookie ga 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:19.880 when I thought that he had some yards left on 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.240 the field, just because of the circumstances, and it's not 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.760 anybody's fault. Sometimes the pressure look forces the ball out hot, 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.800 and because Waddle runs one of his best routes of 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.240 the game, on that look, you don't get a chance 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.360 to see him catch a sixty yard touchdown pass because 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.240 the ball had to come out to durham Smyth hot 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:38.120 on a check from Tua. Not this time, Not this time. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.560 The deallop a shot play to Waddle, who makes an 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.720 excellent double move and Tua uncorks this thing before he 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.760 makes that double move and the ball just lands right 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.040 and stride. Speaking of the DeVante Smith touchdown pass in 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.600 the National Championship game, I mean, you couldn't handled this 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.120 thing to Wattle any better right down the field, big strike, 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.960 sixty yards and a touchdown. Let's go ahead and hear 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:58.240 from McDaniel on that play. 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.600 There's not many people that could cover the route that 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.560 Jalen Wattle ran because it's not many people that are 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:07.080 capable of. 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:09.680 Going vertical. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:14.200 He did a left right move and then still found 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:18.240 an exit angle, which is a very hard thing to do. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:24.400 So we really like the player, the matchup, and you know, 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.320 just kind of the way those two were connecting all 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.040 week was that was pretty easy to call. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.760 And then at seventeen to nothing right there, right before 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.240 the halftime break, and the Jets get the football back 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.000 and once again it's pretty quickly back to the sideline 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.680 because they did convert on illegal contact play. But then 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.600 you get an Elijah Campbell pass breakup, showing range from 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.040 his deep half responsibility at safety. All the guys played great. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.880 Brand Jones got two picks in the game, by the way, 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.880 taking his career hot career total to three picks this season. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.560 Great to see him bounce to come out and get 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.840 a chance to start the game and really play well. 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.440 And then third and twelve you got David Long chasing 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.840 Zach Wilson backwards towards his own goal. Polls like every 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.720 play was like run backwards and try to make something happen. 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.600 And because he left the pocket, he raises an illegal 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.200 contact call they had made. Picked up the flag, put 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.200 it back in your pocket, punt the ball back after 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.240 Emmanuel Ogbass sack on the previous play, So the Dolphins 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.240 get the football right back and now you have a 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.840 chance to go basically not win the game, but put 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.840 it really out of reach right. Four scorers at halftime 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.440 for an offense that's struggling is a lot to overcome, 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.040 and you get three conversions with Tua on third down 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.919 third and three, a slant, a dart to Waddle for 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.639 an additional first down, and fifteen yards because of a 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:38.960 late hit on Wattle. You get a third and six 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.320 dot to Burios on the perimeter, who makes a great 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:43.880 lunging catch up over his head. Also had a great 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.640 day return of the football today on kicks Braxon Burios did. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.920 Then third and seven on the plus three two, Tua 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:51.639 hits what I think was maybe his best throw of 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.600 the day besides the deep shot where he's got pressure 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.480 right in his face, kind of has to adjust the 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.880 feet and you see him. You'll see some quarterbacks bring 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.439 the plant leg up when they throw like a arm 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.880 like dropped the arm angle to three quarters or sign 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.320 on angle in terms of their release point, and Tua 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.159 shifts the feet with pressure in his face to help 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.440 him protect himself from the big hit after the throw 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.399 and the throw is right between two Jets defenders on 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.119 waddle on the money, big run after the catch, huge play. 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.399 You get a thirteen yard round from Moster and then 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.399 you get a first in goal and Durham Smyth seals 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.040 the edge for ahem Moster for his second touchdown of 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.320 the game, and real quick. I gave a game ball 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.320
