And so we are just 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.839 four days out from kickoff as the New York Jets 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.560 come to town. Always loved Jets weak. If you guys 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.160 haven't heard the Fish Tank podcast with Seth and Juice 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.880 and Bart Scott, it's it's a perfect primer for Jets 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.200 Week and talking about the rivalry and how it kind 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.760 of originated in the seventies and eighties and then became 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.120 really and I talked about this on the podcast with 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.040 Ronnie Brown We're Gonna Have Tomorrow. How for me, the 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:47.440 riv howay really became intensified in that mid two thousand's, 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.000 the early aughts era with Rex Ryan and I think 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.400 it was because they were so outspoken and brash in 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.600 the whole we're not gonna come here and kiss Belichick's 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.840 rings thing, and just the fact that there was a 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.480 lot of trash talk back and forth between the two sides. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.800 I remember the game with Reggie Bush when they said 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.800 they were gonna put some hot sauce on Reggie Bush. 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.760 There was just always some talk back and forth between 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.160 the Dolphins and Jets in that time, and it really 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.680 read things up for me. I think maybe Jets fans 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.119 didn't like us as much and so that really intensified 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.400 things as well. So Dolphins and Jets for me always 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.640 is always the game of the year on the calendar, 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.880 just because you know, I think the best part about sports, 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.480 and aside from watching your team win, is rooting against 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.639 your rival. And that's true I think in most sports, 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.240 especially in football college or the NFL. And the old 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.560 T shirt said it best, right, My favorite teams are 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.919 the Miami Dolphins and whoever is playing the New York 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.120 Jets that week. And for me, that's always been the case. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.560 And I remember back in the two thousand and eight 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.799 season when we have Ronnie Brown on, We're gonna talk 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.640 about a game from two thousand nine, but the Wildcat 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.360 Division championship season that week seventeen game was on December, 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.440 and I'll never forget it because I usually got pumped 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.480 up for Christmas. Even though I was in my you know, 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.920 late means early twenties at the time, I didn't care 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.880 about Christmas that week. All I cared about was the 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.400 Dolphins Jets game on Sunday and Chad Pennington going in 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.440 there and taking the division title from the team that 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.840 cut him to bring in Brett Farve. I was so 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.880 glued and plugged into that storyline. Couldn't wait for that 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.880 game all day long. The Philip Merlin picks six the 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.679 other direction right after a touchdown pass to get on 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.519 the board first and take that lead into halftime. And 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.280 then the Ted Gain catch in the back of the 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.799 end zone, the Anthony Fasano catching the corner of the 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.880 end zone, and then the Andre Goodman interception to put 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.959 that game on ice man. That was a fun, fun 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.680 Sunday to cap off a very fun year. That's my 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.360 favorite Jets game of all time. Let me know what 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.560 yours is on Twitter at Wingfield NFL and tell me 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.520 your favorite Dolphins and Jets memory. I'm sure a lot 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.800 of folks go back to the fake Spike game. That's 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:50.480 gonna be up there for a a chunk of Dolphins fans, 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.000 I would imagine. But let's go ahead now and talk 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.600 about this week's game, Week six, and start here with 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.840 Dolphins and Jets injuries from Thursday four. The Miami Dolphins 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.360 one player was not out there on Thursday Devon god 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.720 Show with the biceps injury did not practice. We had 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.920 three players who were limited defensive and Shack Lawson, tight 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.080 end Durham Smith, and linebacker Kyle van Noy all out 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.680 there on a limited basis, and five players were on 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:19.320 the report but full participants on Thursday's practice, safety Cavon Frasier, 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.920 cornerbacks Xavien Howard and Byron Jones, guard Solomon Kinley, and 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.400 wide receiver Davante Parker. For the visiting New York Jets 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.839 on Thursday, they had three players who did not practice, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.800 McKay Beckton the offensive tackle, Sam Donald the quarterback, and 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.560 Frank Gore the running back. Had that Thursday day off 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.960 not injury related for Frank Gore. They also had several 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.239 players that were listed as limited and full participants on practice. 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.000 Bless Austin the cornerback, John Franklin Myers on the defensive line, 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:52.000 Alex Lewis on the offensive line, Brashad Perriman wide receiver, 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.840 and defensive tackle Quentin Williams all were limited participants on 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.680 Thursday's practice, and in four players were full participants. Offensive 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.200 tackle Chuma Adoga was a full participant on Thursday, as 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.520 was fellow tackle George Fant, linebacker Jordan Jenkins, and cornerback 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.520 Byron Pool both were full participants on the Jets practice 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.680 on Thursday. And let's go ahead and start. Coach flores 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:18.400 Is Thursday morning media availability off with some kicker talk. Look, 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.160 I started a kicking game, and that's where I got 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.520 my breaking coaching. So I don't understand how important those 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.840 those those uh guys, that those positions are, whether it's kicker, punter, 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.120 long snap, or returners, ball security or those things of 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.200 that nature. Uh. To have a guy who's dependable, guy 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.000 who who uh you know he's gonna do everything he 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.080 can't possible to make sure, um that he puts himself 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.080 in the best position to um, you know, make a 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.360 great kick, Make make the kick that we need, make 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.240 the punt that we need, UM, give us a snap 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.000 that we need and really want that at all positions. UM. 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.240 But you know, no one really thinks about those specialists 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.000 until you know we're down to the wire we need 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.120 to kick. So UM, you know, Jason has done a 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.200 great job. UM Again, I think it's important and he 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.240 continues it's important to him that he continues to improve 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.040 and get better and continue with his consistency. That's been 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.160 you know, good, good thus far, and we need to 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.680 just keep going in this direction. So Y has some 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.080 very uh pleas of where he is and the job 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:20.640 he's done really on on obviously field goals, but also kickoffs. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.720 He has done a good job from that standpoint, and 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.839 just his every day he's his his just his attitude 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.640 and his work ethic on a day to day basis, 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:31.400 He's um, he's really done a good job really since 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.839 I've been here. I think there's a really great nugget. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.880 And their coach talks about the fact that he got 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.880 his start in the kicking game. That's how he really 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.800 broke in to the coaching ranks. And you go back 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.480 to last April, you heard him talk about getting good kicks, 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.680 good punts, and good snaps in their Dolphin spent a 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.120 sixth round draft pick on Blake Ferguson. Have we heard 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.920 Blake's name yet? We haven't, And that's because that's what 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.839 you want, right, That's a good thing. He hasn't had 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.039 a bad snap yet. The ball has been perfect every time. 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.040 And that impacts the kicking game too. It impacts the 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.280 way the field goal kick er sees the hold and 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.160 the way the holder gets the football down. And so 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.400 Jason Sanders this season, you know, with the new battery 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.360 he has there with a long snapper and Matt Hawk 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.000 as the holder, hasn't missed a kick yet. So putting 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.440 an emphasis on the small details has been a very big, big, 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.720 you know, sticking point here with coach Flores since he 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.960 got here. And the kicking games a big sticking point 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.040 as well. And look at what they've got now, fourteen 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.120 consecutive field goals. You can't ask for more than that 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.600 out of your special teams unit. From talk of a 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.440 third year kicker to a rookie long snapper, to another 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.040 rookie but in a different position in the trenches on 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.440 the defensive line on the interior, ray Kwon Davis. Coach 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.840 Floores was asked about the potential of ray Kuan Davis 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.840 and what they've seen so far out of the rookie 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.480 through his first five NFL games. He's got a lot 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.400 of talent. He's big, he's strong, he's athletic. But he's young, 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.080 you know, he's a young players still learn how to 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:51.679 play in this league against um a lot of good players. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.720 Still trying to find his way and find his uh 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.680 his nichees role within within the scheme I think as 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.720 a staff which on which to you know, put him 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.640 into positions when the best positions to do what he 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.200 does well. So you know, he's tough and he cares 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.520 with the injury to catch out. You know, he should 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.360 get some a few more opportunities along with some other 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:18.040 guys and uh hopefully takes advantage of those opportunities. But yeah, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.280 there's there's talent here. We just gotta get him to 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.360 play with more consistency, which is you know, the case 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.920 for all young players. And we have seen that talent 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.160 shine through before at Alabama. He's had some big seasons, 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.760 some big games, some big time moments, even in the 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.400 National Championship once there ray Kuan Davos getting his hands 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.599 in a football for an interception, got a sack a 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.640 few plays earlier in that game. So he is no 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.680 stranger to big moments in big spots. And you heard 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.320 coach talk about the possible elevation and playing time there. 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.560 We've seen ray Kuan Davis play a few snaps now 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.680 so far to the first five games of this Dolphins season. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.480 And despite the fact that there's not much tape on him. 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.840 We've seen him get doubled a few times, and that's 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.680 kind of the attention. A body like that commands that big, 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.280 long frame and also thick and powerful. He has the 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.800 long wingspan, so he can certainly engage and disengage off 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.440 of a single block and make guys fall off those blocks. 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.440 So I think the more you see rake Kwon Davis 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.480 kind of get going here in his pro career and 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.280 you see this coaching staff really kind of take a 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.640 hold and get his development at that next stage, I 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.760 think we could see big things that are from Rekwon Davis. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.640 And and like coach Flora said, he's gonna get some 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.560 opportunities now with Davon God shows biceps injury and let's 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.640 go ahead and finish up here, and you're gonna hear 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:32.200 a quote on tomorrow's Drive Time Flashback podcast from Ronnie 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.839 Brown about how he connected with coach Tony Sperrano over 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.719 boxing and he was a big boxing fan, believes in 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.959 the toughness of boxing and how that maybe translated to 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.960 a football field or was a parallel to a football field. 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.160 We finish up here with coach from a question from 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.160 Cam Wolf of ESPN, who asked Coach about a a 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:54.920 Brooklyn native Hondurian descent boxer, Tito Fimo Lopez, who will 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.280 fight on Saturday night. He asked Coach if he's a 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.160 fan of that boxer. Yeah, brook guy from Honors. Yeah, 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:07.199 I know exactly. Is Uh good fighter. Look, I'm not 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.599 really big in the boxing, but um, you know, you 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.760 know side from Mike Tyson being right from the neighborhood 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.760 I grew up in. Um, I was always a big 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:22.400 fan of Is. But yeah, um, I know I know 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.040 a little bit. But you know, a Brooklyn guy from Honduras, 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.920 I'm rooming for him no matter. You know what's going on. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.559 At the start of the question, Coach had a huge smile. 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.640 At the end of the question, the smile got ten 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.760 times bigger. So I thought it was cool to put 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:36.839 it in there. If you guys want to see the 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.400 video up on Miami Dolphins dot com or the YouTube 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.160 page along with all the other press media availabilities here, 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.400 you can check those out and see Coach get excited 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.480 about a fellow Brooklyn, fellow Honduras native Uh in the 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.200 boxing match on Saturday night. So good stuff there from Coach. 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:52.880 Let's go ahead and spend this thing forward to the 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.800 game on Sunday the New York Jets come to town. 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.760 It's another late kickoff as the game will start at 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.160 four oh five Eastern at hard Rock Stadium. Eighty five 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:07.640 degree temperatures, scent humidity, fifty chance of precipitation, which is 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.719 kind of a daily occurrence here in South Florida and 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.600 fifteen mile prior wins, the two and three Dolphins verse 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.520 the O and five New York Jets on Sunday, October 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.319 and in the victories over Jacksonville and San Francisco this year, 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.880 the Dolphins raced out to fourteen zero leads in a 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.120 flash in both of those games, as the offense scored 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.400 on the first two possessions of both of those games 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.920 and the first three possessions in the Jacksonville game as well. 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.040 They did it with violence in the passing game and 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.480 the running game. We saw Miles Gas can really get 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.120 going in that Jacksonville opening couple of series. We saw 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.600 the passing game take off with these the opening play 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.040 of the game last week, forty seven yards down the 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.199 sideline from Fitzpatrick to Preston Williams. But we also saw 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.120 the defense bow up and make three collective stops on 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.400 those drives to create that collective zero lead. In those 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.360 two games, they had a three and out at a 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.560 fourth down stop and a four down series. Jacksonville picked 0:11:58.600 --> 0:11:59.920 up a first down and then got a three and 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.440 out after that on one of those series. So Miami's 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.600 defense really playing that complementary style of football to get 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.120 this team off to a fast start. Coach Flores talked 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.959 about playing fast, saying, we always talked about playing fast, 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.160 starting fast. It's something we harp on on a weekly basis. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.439 End quote there from Coach Flores, and from that point forward, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.360 the defense really just teed off. In the two games combined, 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.439 Miami wrapped up eight sacks, four takeaways and allowed just 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.839 thirty points. They have climbed all the way up to 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.080 number ten in the NFL and points allowed as a result, 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.640 And in those two games combined, Pro Football Focus credited 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:37.559 Miami with quarterback pressures from thirteen different players, So it's 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.199 a full team effort getting pressure on the quarterback and 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.360 that when, of course, last week generated some good vibes 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.000 and really helped to validate a good week of work 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.400 on the practice field, in the film room, and in 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.520 the classroom, and it also helps create confidence, something quarterback 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.800 Ryan Fitzpatrick believes is invaluable to this young team. He 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.120 said this earlier this week. We've got a lot of 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.200 young guys on both sides of the ball, So having 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.720 that feeling of offidence early and knowing that we're going 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.240 to play well, I think it really helps out, especially 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.360 with some of the youth and in experience we have 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.400 on this team. End quote. And the Dolphins were scheduled 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.079 to travel to Denver this week for a game with 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.199 the Broncos, but of course, is a year of change, 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.079 and Flora's address the change in schedule on Sunday just 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.360 a few hours before the game, with all those sweeping 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.439 changes to Miami schedule, talking about it being a different year. 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.360 Everyone has to adjust and be flexible. Been talking all 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:26.920 year about how we're going to have to do that, 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.520 and the coaches were breaking down film on Sunday morning, 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.480 according to Flores, and he said he was sure the 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.679 Jets are doing the same thing with the Dolphins, but 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.640 he just ends with this quote, We've got to adapt 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.679 and that's what we'll do. End quote. And that's what 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.600 the Dolphins are right now two and three, heading into 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.400 Week six against the New York Jets. Welcoming in those 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.400 Jets and head coach Adam Gaze, who announced that quarterbacks 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.920 Sam Donald would not play in the game on Sunday. 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.520 He's already been ruled out. That means it's Joe Flacco, 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.880 the second consecutive misstart here for Donald on an offensive 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.480 is battling several injuries. McKay Beckton has not practiced this week, 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.640 Alex Lewis has not practiced, and den Zel Mims, the 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.760 rookie receiver, was cleared to return to practice this week 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.720 after missing the first five games of his NFL career, 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.880 so we could see Mims make his NFL debut on Sunday. 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.000 The receiver with the most snaps played this year for 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.400 the Jets is Chris Hogan. You might recall him from 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.360 Hard Knocks in seven eleven himself. He's the only receiver 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.560 on the Jets offense with more than fifty percent of 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.800 the offensive workload, so it kind of tells you how 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.080 they've been healthwise at that position. Jamison Crowder is right 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.560 below that attent. He's been their most productive receiver for 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.840 the last couple of seasons now, and Alex Lewis on 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.960 the offensive line we talked about him has not practiced 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.680 this week. If he's out, that leaves the Jets offensive 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.600 line with only one player who has played of the 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.800 offensive snaps. That's free agent acquisition Greg Van Roten and 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:48.160 former Dolphins linebacker Neville. Hewitt is second on the Jets 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.400 with snaps played at nine point one percent. Safety Marcus 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.640 May leads them at nine point seven percent, and Bradley 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.880 McDougal is the only other defender with better than of 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.440 the defensive snaps played he's played so far this season. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.680 So plenty of reshuffling and remaking and guys coming off 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.000 the bench and playing for that Jets team so far 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.040 this season. The matchup highlights in this game went over 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:12.840 this carefully, tried to figure out where I wanted to 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.120 go with it. My first one is to just run 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.560 it back. This is a two pronged approach here for 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.360 this matchup highlight. First, the Dolphins pass catchers got vertical 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.680 repeatedly last week against the forty nine, and we could 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.880 see something similar this week. Last year in the home 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.080 game versus the Jets, Fitzpatrick completed three passes on throws 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.560 that were twenty plus yards down the field for seventy 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.960 two yards and a touchdown pass According to Pro Football Focus. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.960 Last week, he was five of six for one two scores, 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.600 throwing the ball deep down the field twenty plus yards. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.040 This season, Fitzpatrick has an average intended air yards of 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.160 eight point oh compared to an average completed air yards 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.760 of six point seven. So intended air yards is your 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.640 average depth of target, whereas the six point seven completed 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.160 air yards is the average depth of target on completed passes. 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.240 So the Dolphins passing game, what that kind of tells 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.640 you is they get plenty of yards through the air, 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.320 but not much yac afterwards. And that's not to say 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.120 that these guys can't run for the catch. It just 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.440 talks about the isolation and fifty ball game that is 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.440 really among the best in the NFL because you have 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.760 guys like DeVante Parker six ft three and a thirty 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.760 six and a half inch vertical, Preston Williams six ft five, 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.880 Mike Gasicki six ft six. These guys can go up 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.840 and rebound the football off the opposition's helmet with the 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.400 best in the entire league. And last year, in the 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.560 first game, now the second game, we didn't have Preston Williams, 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.200 and Davanta Parker was injured midway through the second game, 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.680 so Willingly had Mike Gasicki for most of that game. 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.120 But in the first contest to win at home against 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.960 the Jets, those three players can bind for fifteen receptions, 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.720 two d and twenty four yards and three touchdowns. Now, 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.080 defensively on the running back portion, the Dolphins constantly put 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.520 pressure on both quarterbacks last week, and Jimmy Garoppolo and 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:56.480 CJ be third. Particularly on the interior. Of Miami's nine 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.200 team pressures last week, only five of those came off 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.720 players rushing off the edge. That, of course, according to 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.120 Pro Football Focus, interior pressure tends to be more volatible 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:09.080 against elusive quarterbacks like Russell Wilson, Josh Allen, Cam Newton, 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.800 Patrick Mahomes, all these guys that can flee the pocket 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.040 to the left or the right. Well, Joe Flacco piled 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.719 up forty career passing yards as a traditional pocket passer 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.360 with the howitzer for a right arm, good decision making, 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.800 good anticipation. So the key to those guys, like it 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.639 has been for so many players before, you always hear 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.880 the Tom Brady trope right, get pressure up the middle 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.159 on Tom Brady. You want to put pressure on the 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.520 interior on these traditional pocket passers, make them uncomfortable and 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.040 force me to make decisions with trash down around their feet. 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:37.879 Miami did a good job of that last week in 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.120 the San Francisco game. Hopefully they can do the same 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.159 this week against Flacco and the Jets. And perhaps the 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.480 biggest loss for the Jets so far this season has 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.000 been McKay Beckton, who looked like an absolute superstar at 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.359 left tackle, but he has recently been injured and not 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.560 been available for that Jets offensive line. So attack relentlessly 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.199 make Flacco uncomfortable more fits Magic is the next one 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.040 up here on the match up highlights. What can you 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.440 say about this guy? He has the fifth total fifth 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.679 highest total QBR in the NFL. On balance, he has 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.120 the highest single game passer rating this year with nearly 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.240 a perfect one fifty four point five. You might recall 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.800 one fifty eight point three is perfect, not to mention 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.360 the highest total QBR for a single game last week 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.520 at nine point one and the fourth highest mark this 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.400 year at nineties seven point two. Back in his Week 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.879 three performance against Jacksonville, the sixteen year veteran is flat 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:29.080 out dealing right now. Carefully choosing his spots against Pierre 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.680 to sire might be a wise decision. His stats have 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.359 been boomer bust this season. He is tied for third 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.919 or tied for the league lead rather with three interceptions 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.880 on the season, but pf has opposing receivers with six 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.040 team receptions on twenty targets for two thirty five yards 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.320 and four touchdowns on to see her so picks and 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.719 touchdowns and yards. He's been busy both ways so far 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.600 this year, on defense and with Fitzpatrick. We heard him 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.399 talk about this on the Wednesday podcast about how, over 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:56.600 the course of a sixteen year career, a lot of 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.879 experience and film study and just kind of accumulating this 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.119 catalog of plays in the back of his mind that 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.560 he really likes has helped, as well as developing more 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.240 chemistry and comfortability with this young Dolphins receiver corps. So 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.040 he's seeing things, he's letting a fly. I highly highly 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.840 recommend checking out Brian Baldinger's breakdown of the Dolphins offensive 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.640 line and quarterback play last week. Getting it done, throwing 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.600 the football down the field with anticipation, standing in under 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.719 the gun, and making big time throws for Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.679 and to see here is second among all Jets cornerbacks 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.520 with seventy seven point eight percent of the defensive snaps. 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.879 Brian Poole has the most at eighty point one percent, 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.520 but two hundred and three of those two eight five 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.440
