Don't it just feel good? 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:44.480 Waits twin win win win win. Yeah, everything goes win win, win, win. 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.800 And that's exactly what the Dolphins did on Monday night 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.160 football in a primetime spot against a good football team, 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.000 a red hot Rams team that had won three straight 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.320 coming in. That was the conversation of this team that 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.240 could pop up in the second half of the season 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.320 and go on a tear and be a problem for 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.760 the rest of the teams in the National Football League. 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.040 But tonight, the Miami Dolphins were not the rest of 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.480 the National Football League. They came out and gave the 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.880 Rams their best punch and took it to him wire 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.360 to wire with a twenty three to fifteen win on 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.039 the road in prime time. Let's go ahead and get 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.360 to the five big picture takeaways. The game script and 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.119 a heck of a lot more from the Baptist Health 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.840 Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.040 This is the Drive Time podcast. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:31.200 Maybe it just feels good to get a big dub. 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.120 It feels good to do the radio show with Seth 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.840 and OJ after a big win, to walk down the 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.720 stairs there at the iHeart Studios into our cars or 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.400 out to our cars, I should say, after a victory, 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.520 because we haven't had that opportunity very many times this season. 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.840 And despite all of that, your boy is feeling awfully, 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.320 awfully optimistic about where this team can go. Because I 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.320 think you didn't quite get the complimentary nature of this 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.400 team tonight that you had seen earlier in the year, 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.840 or maybe that we had been striving four all year, 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:05.160 because it does feel at times like this team trades off. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.360 You know, here's the offense playing their best ball, here's 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.520 the defense not playing their best ball. And next week, 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.840 for a fun surprise, we'll twist that up on you 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.640 and make it a barn Burner game down to the wire, 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.960 which is kind of how the National Football League works. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.720 But as a Dolphins fan, you'd kind of like to 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.000 see him put it all together for a game. And 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.600 I do think that time is coming, because what do 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.880 we get on Monday night that we haven't gone the 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:34.440 last two weeks, A swarming, swarming defensive effort. As the 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.840 Dolphins hold the Rams to just one for ten on 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.400 third down, they keep them out of the end zone, 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.400 and they hold them checking the yards here to three 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.000 hundred and twenty seven yards of total offense. They were 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:47.799 three for twelve on third downs. I should say they're 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.360 one for ten. At one point. They got two in 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.600 that final drive when they kicked the field goal that 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.600 I thought they should have thrown into the endzon one 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.240 more time. But I digress from that point. And the 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.040 total stats from this game Rams twenty first downs Miami 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.920 fifteen Dolphins. This is where the game was won. Six 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.320 for thirteen on third downs versus three for twelve. Neither 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.679 team went for it on a fourth down. Miami only 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.280 had two hundred and thirty eight yards of total offense 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.720 in this game, just one seventy one through the air 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.000 sixty seven on the ground. The Rams had the three 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.880 to twenty seven, two fifties seven through the air and 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.520 seventy on the ground. They did run fifteen more plays 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.079 than Miami did and some turnovers in the middle part 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.600 of the game kind of impacted that a little bit. 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.840 But the Dolphins give it away twice, they get it 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.600 back twice from the Rams that both teams got after 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.480 the quarterback. Three sacks for the Rams, four sacks for 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.040 the Dolphins up front. And here's maybe the best at 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.320 of the entire game. The Dolphins had one penalty, and 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.760 it was a special team's foul on on sportsmanlike conduct 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.000 for not coming back into the field of play soon enough, 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.160 which Seth and Ojin I were talking like, why is 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.840 that a fifteen yard penalty when holdings only ten yards. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.280 We're not going to get into the rule book and 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.760 the whys of what that is, but it's the only 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.080 penalty the Dolphins have on the entire night. No offensive flags, 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.560 no defensive flags, and when you do that, you put 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.320 yourself in position to to win a lot of football games. 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.520 That's exactly what happened here for the Dolphins. We kick 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.760 it off opening drive. How great was that? By the way, 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.560 five plays seventy yards took three minutes off the clock. 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.160 I missed those quick touchdown strikes and it was what 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.440 you saw last year, the great drive starter on the 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.440 glance to waddle for twenty yards where they run riek 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.120 down the middle of the field and that attracts, you know, 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:26.320 a deep third player to basically get some deeper depth 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.760 and to create the opening that Wattle ran into for 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.240 that glance for twenty yards. Then you get a couple 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.400 of negative plays, or rather one negative play and an 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:37.120 incomplete pass that creates a third and thirteen. But Tua, 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.080 as he did all night long, and was what kind 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.000 of the story of this game. He was five of 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.440 six throwing on the move, he was seven for eight 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.320 throwing outside of the pocket, and those were for some 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.880 big explosive plays. And it kicked off early where he 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:53.239 attacked Lione Scrimmage after getting away from initial pressure, initial surge. 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.200 And granted, he is not Tuscaloosa Tua anymore, where he's 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:58.880 going to be making all those moves in the open 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.200 field and dutch ducking and dodging and moving around guys 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.800 to you know, create big explosive runs. But he can 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.760 move around enough to put himself in better situations to 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.279 attack with his arm, and that's exactly what happened on 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.920 this thirty six yard ball to Waddle where Wattle got 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.600 turned free, and it was because two was able to 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.599 create extra time with his legs after initial surge and 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.599 initial pressure and get up towards land. Scrimmage didn't cross 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.279 the line of scrimmage. We don't need you running. On 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.000 third and thirteen, Tua, he finds the deep throw down 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.040 the field and hits him. And then you come right 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.159 back with Malik Washington for eighteen yards on that end 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.839 around with a great block down the field from River Craycraft, 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:36.720 some good work off the edge from the tight ends 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.320 as well as Kendall Lamb who filled in for Austin 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.440 Jackson in this game. And the Dolphins are on the 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.280 board three minutes of the game, seven zip, and they 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.919 come out defensively quick three and out for the Rams 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.919 where they get pressure off the edge from Emmanuel Ogba 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.599 and that forces Matthew Stafford to throw this like looping 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.360 screen over the top of him. And who is there 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.560 besides mister Weiser himself, Zach Seeler, who cuts this play 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.839 down for a ten yard loss, and it ruins the 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.520 entire drive because you forced check down, rally up and 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.920 tackle on third down. And what a perfect start for 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.400 the Dolphins. But then it's not so perfect from the 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.880 offensive perspective, a three play drive that goes six seconds, 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.479 and it was two disjointed throws were to a threw 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.120 to like receivers that weren't ready for the ball or 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.400 looked like it was some sort of miscommunication where the 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.679 ball goes to like just a space on the field 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.160 that's not occupied by a Miami Dolphin. And you know, 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.680 Juice has mentioned this a few times during the games, 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.599 even the postgame show, how sometimes it looks like the 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.880 Dolphins have multiple routes into the same area of the field, 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.760 which I know it's not designed that way because that's 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.560 literally what the coaches work, you know, one hundred and 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.239 twenty hour weeks to do, is to create spacing on offense. 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.960 But it's happened a few times and you start to wonder, like, 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:47.880 can we get better spacing on some of these routes 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.960 because eventually you're gonna run somebody into a pick. And 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.400 there was a play where Waddle took an inside release 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.120 and then threw an out to Johona Smith and it 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.479 brought the cloud corner into that part of the field. Like, 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.600 have to find a way to create better space, And 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.600 that's why I thought happened on this drive just a 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.000 three play, no yard, six second drive. That's where you 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.400 get hit for the fifteen yards and an unsportsmanlike on 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.440 Sir ran Neil for not getting back onto the field, 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.640 and all of a sudden after your touchdown and then 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.160 three and out start, the Rams are trolling by a 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.120 touchdown and have the ball just a yard shy of midfield, 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.680 but the defense once again three plays minus nine yards 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.559 and a buck thirty off the clock. And I wanted 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.600 to point this out because I talked about it heavily 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.320 on the pregame show. We saw our first bare front 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.480 of the night, and you get basically free runs from 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.760 the linebackers because ninety two ninety five that's Banninito Jones 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.400 and Zach Sigler and ninety three Kalayis Campbell didn't give 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.600 an inch of ground. And for those that didn't listen 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.200 to the Thursday pregame show, a barefront is just a 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.880 head up over the guard, tackle and guard. You're essentially 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.320 trying to reduce the number of gaps in space. They 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.640 have to run off those inside gaps by putting more 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.120 bodies up front than they can handle. And we got that, 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.720 and then you get a sack from Klayus Campbell. This 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.520 or rather a bat pass from Klays Campbell, I should 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.640 say that creates a third and ten. And then in 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.280 comes Chop Robinson for his second sack in as many weeks, 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.320 and he plays the five technique and it looks to 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.360 me like they try to run a game off of that, 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.200 but it also speaks to CHOP's quickness and how they 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.800 want to create situations where he can have space. Because 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.480 on this particular front, Kalaias Campbell was the one technique, 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.120 but he was to the left side of the formation, 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.840 and Chopp was the only hand in the dirt rusher 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.559 defensive lineman that was lined up on the right side 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.480 of the offensive center. And you did see Campbell loop 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.480 off of the slant inside from Chop initially, but Chopp 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.720 got there so quickly that he just got up field 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.240 and pursued the quarterback and gotten down for a sack 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.320 and wins that way. So I think that Chop there's 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:39.640 still some things in his game that has to be 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.760 cleaned up. Obviously he's a rookie, but he's coming on man, 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.199 and I wish we had our full array of guys 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:46.880 out there, because I think that Chop in that kind 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.520 of third role behind JP and beach Hub fully healthy 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.800 would maximize his skill set. But maybe you're getting a 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.120 baptism by fire where he's learning a little bit quicker 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.240 than he would have otherwise. And I think you're seeing 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:58.680 the fruits of that labor show up here little bit. 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.640 So they'd ato get the football back, but they go 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.440 six plays, sixteen yards and punt it back after four 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.840 minutes of possession, where it was again. I saw some 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.760 complaints about the Dolphins pass run game a balance, but like, 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:11.960 what did you want. 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:12.320 Them to do? 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.880 Because it was basically consistent runs into the wall for 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.480 like one in two yards and created these third down 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.840 and longs all night long. In fact, on the six 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.320 conversions the Dolphins had, their average yards to gain on 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.280 those third downs was nine point eighty three yards. Now, luckily, 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.160 your quarterback made some really good plays on situations to 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.040 cover up for the lack of run game and for 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.520 some of his own errors earlier in the game, which 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.760 we will get to. But the running game early on 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.160 it wasn't working. You ran the ball twenty two times 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.800 for just sixty seven yards. Like I like a coach 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.520 that sees that's not working, that way and we have 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.840 this great passing game, like, let's do that instead, Like 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.760 it's nice to have the balance, but if it's not there, 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:52.520 it ain't there. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:53.880 So they punted the ball back. 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.920 And this is where Tua, you know, had thrown a 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.320 nice little check down the Raheem Moster who made a 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.400 man miss at the sticks and converted and moved the 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.320 chains and that it felt like a big play because 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.920 the crowd was ramping up getting behind their defense. But 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.679 then you go right back to the running game and 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.240 it's a negative play. Is right has to bubble outside 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.680 of a good edge by the Rams, And like you 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.080 might look at some of these plays and be like, oh, 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.559 the Dolphins offensive line, it was their fault and to 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.760 your point, to your credit, like this was a step 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.120 back for the Dolphins offensive line. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.320 I will caution against this. 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.520 It is very difficult to replace players in game in 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.840 the system and get the same production. I think we 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:31.760 saw it for the Rams. And this goes back to 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:33.920 Austin Jackson missing the game as well, so you were 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.520 down your right tackle. Kendall Lamb comes into the game, 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.120 but at least he had all week to work at 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.679 that position. But Lester Cotton playing left guard for Rob Jones, 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.640 who left the game with an injury and did not return. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.120 Like it's tough to get offensive lineman on the same 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.079 track that quickly, and that's why I think the Rams 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.520 had some issues up front because they were working back 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.880 Steve Avila and Jonah Jackson, who were a big draft 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.880 pick last year for a Villa, a big free agent 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.800 acquisition for Jonah Jackson, but both those guys had missed 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.959 serious time for the Rams this year. They get them 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.920 both back in and their offense looked disjointed, and I 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.240 think that that's a big part of why. So the 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.520 Dolphins offensive line gonna have to find a way to 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.240 get some of those things corrected, because we'll see what 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.480 the report is on Rob Jones, and we obviously know 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.120 Austin Jackson is going to miss at least the next 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.640 three games, as this was the first game before going 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.920 on IR. The injury is not believed to be season ending. 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.320 But Austin Jackson was playing so good, and I think 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.559 that his familiarity with Liam Miikenberg was help helping Liam 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.200 play some of his best ball, because I thought Liam 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.040 kind of got beat a few times tonight in this game. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.360 We'll do more on that in the All twenty two 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.080 review on the podcast later tonight, because it's Tuesday morning 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.720 to and talking to you right now, we'll have the 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.480 All twenty two breakdown Tuesday evening for you guys. So 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.800 that drive is a punt, the Rams take it back 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:45.920 and then Anthony Walker gets a pick his first as 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.800 Miami Dolphin five plays sixteen yard drive three mens eleven 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.000 seconds off the clock. They get a couple of first 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.160 down runs to take them right back into that midfield 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.480 stripe area. But then I thought that, you know, we 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.640 haven't done the play before the play very often this 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.600 podcast since we haven't won many games. But there has 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.959 been a couple of options within this game. But I 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.600 think this is the best one because Anthony Walker again 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.600 behind one of those tight fronts. I don't know if 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.280 it was Barret tighter Eagle, it was basically guys jammed 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.600 in trying to force this inside zone and man gap scheme. 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.959 The Rams can pare off each other so well into 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.640 different types of runs in the back to bubble and 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.839 take his track elsewhere. Walker works behind that big front 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.600 and shoots in there and with a great key and 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.040 a great trigger and creates a third and seven, which 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.840 then creates a klay As Campbell batted pass that creates 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.520 an Anthony Walker interception. I feel like we've batted so 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.680 many balls this year, and we did get the Cater 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.360 Kohu pick in the Seattle game off of a batted pass, 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.160 but I feel like we've sent so many footballs right 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.480 up into the air and they just always seem to 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:43.720 harmlessly fall to the ground. 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:44.520 Not this one, though. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.920 Dolphins get off the field on a big time interception 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:49.760 and turned out and paid off with a field goal 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.679 on the other side, a five play, twenty two yard 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.079 drive that takes two minutes off the clock, a fifty 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.440 yard Jason Centers field goal, one of his three field 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.360 goals of the night, two of those from fifty plus 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.000 to help a Dolph and get into the win column. 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.320 But we got our best surge of the night on 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.800 this run at this point, with an eight chan inside 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:09.679 run and he spins it back and hits a ten 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.480 yard run. And then Jalen Wright comes into the game 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.040 and it's like, Oh, it's going to be more of him, 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.720 which you kind of recognized early on because Raheem Moster 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.319 was returning kickoffs and didn't get a single carry in 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.480 this football game. He would have a huge conversion on 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.760 a third nineteen pass play. We'll talk about that here 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.760 in a moment. But Jalen Wright comes into the game 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.920 and it just wasn't really working for him. We saw 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.560 Tanner Connor take that lead block around the outside and 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.560 jialen Wright hit the lane and had a good run 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.640 on that play. But for the most part, you were 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.560 trying to replace, you know, alec Ingold's production. You're trying 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.120 to work in new offensive lineman. The tight end position 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:40.959 is still kind of work in progress in terms of 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.840 their blocking game. So maybe not the best work by 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.480 the Dolphins offense, but they found a way to get 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.079 twenty three and a big win in this game. Obviously, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.600 on this play or on this drive, I should say, 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.880 they create a third and two at the plus thirty 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.800 one yard line, and like the Cowboys stadium white thing 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.080 is a big deal right now in the news, and 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.079 Waddle like was convinced that he he lost this ball 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:02.679 in the Cunner didn't see it. The ball goes right 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.160 through his hands, and I thought it was one of 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.000 two was best throws the night because it was third 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.240 and two and you run this little curl route at 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.040 the sticks, which is where the defense's attention usually will go. 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.120 And Tua like pumped and then hitched and like looks 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.760 like he wanted to throw that curl to Tyreek, and 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.480 it created the space as that cloud corner who could 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.720 have sunk back into that coverage wound up driving up 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.800 the field onto Reek's little curl route and that creates 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.360 the sale in behind the little flag route in behind 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.880 Tyreek for what could have been a fifteen to twenty 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.560 yard conversion to waddle and been a first and ten 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.440 in the red zone with a seven to zero lead. Instead, 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.240 he drops the football. We kicked the field goal and 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.480 go up ten zip. The defense pays it right back 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.160 off with a five play ten yard drive three mints 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.040 off the clock where you get a great tackle on 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.200 special teams by Saran Neil and Chang Tindall to cut 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.800 them down at the sixteen yard line. Ramsey makes a 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.080 great play and the flat with a tackle coming from 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.960 depth to get that play to the ground, and then 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.040 Cater Kohu and Kendall Fuller had one of my the 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.560 ferret plays the entire game where they swing this ball 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.320 out to Cooper Cup and you see cater motion like 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.360 stay outside, I got inside contained for you get the 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:08.120 outside contained. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:09.360 And they get Cooper Cup. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.160 To the ground right away and get off the field 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.280 the very next play, and then the Dolphins to get 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.160 the ball back with a ten point lead, and they 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.920 throw a pick where Tua just first of all, Jared 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.320 Versus dumps von A Chan for a five yard loss 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.480 where they tried that little motion rap with Julian Hill, 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.160 but he overruns the big gap on the motion, and 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.040 I can't blame Julian for that. I don't know whose 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.040 fault it was. I don't care about fault really as 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.560 much as I know some football fans do. But either way, 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:36.560 he overran that gap. Whether it was timing of the 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.400 snap or whatever it should have been, he just wasn't 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.600 in a position to make that play. Jared verse beats 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.320 him inside. It's a big loss, and then Tua throws 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.720 like this fade away where you can tell he clearly 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.560 thought that the linebacker that was mugged up just wasn't 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.400 going to be part of the equation. And he peels 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.800 back into that hook zone and makes an easy room 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:57.320 service pick, undercutting the wattle. 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.240 The throat to wattle. I just don't time. 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.080 Two made a couple of those throws in this game, 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.920 and it seems to be like a primetime thing, man, 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:06.320 like he ain't doing that on Sundays. 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.240 So I don't know what it was. It was just weird. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.000 And then the worst part about that was like, dude, 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.400 get off, get out of the way. I don't let 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.200 him score a touchdown, Like, you don't have to make 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.720 a tackle to We don't need you. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:18.800 You don't have to do that, brother. 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.360 So I don't know, Like I appreciate his commitment to, 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.080 you know, being a football player and play into the fullest, 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.360 but like, I don't want to see Two ever put 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.720 a head on anybody ever again. So that was scary, 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.320 but we've survived it. And then the Dolphins get the 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.160 ball right back because the Rams fumble the football right 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.600 back and Kendall Fuller recovers it. And by the way, 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.560 how great was the block in the back call in 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.800 the Rams, because maybe that changes the play call, maybe 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.680 they go in and score earlier. But because of that, 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.080 it's a one play, three yard drive where Kendall Fuller 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.400 falls on a fumble. Dolphins get it right back and 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.120 then they lose it right back on a four play 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.480 negative three yard drive where I too threw again another 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.560 nice ball, and Tyreek on that little drag route where 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.120 he got on the move and in space and threw 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.360 the ball right on the upfield shoulder leads him into 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.960 a twelve yard run. After the catch, we lose some yards, 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.440 and then it's third and thirteen. Jared Verse once again 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.800 slants in with a power rush and Robert Jones gets 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.199 ran over, loses his anchor, and then TWA does not 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.960 put the football away. They get the strip sack and 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.960 they recover. It can't have that happen, but Miami bows 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.400 up on defense again, allowing a thirty four yard field 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.040 goal after a six play twenty yard drive. Short play 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:21.000 short play than we bow up on a really nice 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.600 third down rush that made Stafford Hot throws into a 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.359
