WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Texans Week 15 All 22 Review 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:02.639 As you can tell, no intro music on the show. 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:05.119 I kind of feel like it's a little bit misplaced 0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:07.520 to run this hype music and talk about Dolphins playoff 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.479 pushes with the product you're seeing right now on the field. 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.440 So Joe Robbie in my reviews, who said please change 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.040 the intro music about a thousand times, or I think 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.279 your screen name is, it's still Joe Robbie to me, 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:20.600 you're getting your wish this week, my friend, I think 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.280 I'm going to find a new intro and roll with that. 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:25.560 But for now, we'll break down the All twenty two 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.560 tape here from the Dolphins loss in Houston. That's what's 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:30.920 coming up today on the Draft Time podcast from the 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.040 Baptist Hell Studios inside the Baptist Hell's training complex. This 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:41.240 is the aforementioned Draft Time podcast maybe ugly Ugly tape 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.680 Offensively and we'll start there. And I thought the Texans 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.279 plan defensively was actually really good and took away a 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.360 lot of what we were trying to do off the top. 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.280 The primary look they would show this man free coverage, 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.320 which is, you know, they're one of the bigger cover 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.160 one teams in the NFL. Single high safety, middle of 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.480 the field and coverage on the outside. It's their most 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.600 run defense, and they run it almost as much as 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.520 anybody else in the NFL. But when we would have 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:13.000 Rob Jones tap Aaron Brewer before the snap your road 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.680 game indicator to get the snap off, those pressed up 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.600 cornerbacks would see that, they would bail out and invert. 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.600 And what that means is they would play basically a 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.560 Cover two look, but because of their ability to play 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.240 kind of zone turn off of the perimeter, they could 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.080 then work vertically down the stem or up the up 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.960 the stem, I should say, and prevent deep shots from 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.840 happening behind them, but also turn back downhill and come 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.119 play the short underneath game. And it basically gave them 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.200 like thirteen defenders with how we were unable to adjust 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.919 to what they were doing. And then they could also 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.560 spam the middle of the field because that middle of 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.800 the field safety wouldn't gain depth. And I suppose that 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.520 is maybe part of the Tua tungueo ii looa evolution 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.880 we have to see, and you can probably say, like 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.080 limitation in terms of his ability to drive the ball 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.440 down the sea might kind of cause some of this consternation. 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.800 But they just weren't that concerned about us attacking the 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.239 deep middle portion of the field with those perimeter cloud 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.760 cornerbacks being so fluid to play both deep and short, 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.520 and they would squat on the crossers over the middle 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.040 with that middle of the field safety and prevent those 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.720 checkdowns and swing routes to getting big yards. Most of 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.480 the time we did hit a few of those, but 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.600 for the most part they held that stuff in check. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.160 I thought the mix of that look playing with you know, 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.440 man free where they would come down and play that 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.920 pressed up coverage look and have that safety get depth 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.840 and play this the deep field part of the field. 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.959 They would then use that to bring an extra pass rusher, 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.640 so they would spam the middle of the field and 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.120 get basically two way perimeter players with their four man 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.000 rushes on the outside, and then play that single high 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.919 look with their pressure looks and bring five or six players. 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.240 And they did a good enough job with their four 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.320 man rushes to affect Tuoa before those could open up. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.120 And then on their blitzes they got in enough to 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.240 make him have to move off the spot away from 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.840 where the opening was in the coverage. Does that all 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.320 attrack to you, Guys like for instance, third and long 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.560 second drive of the game, Wattle gets outside leverage against 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.799 a press cornerback, so he is inviting Waddle to run 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.240 an inbreaking route into the middle of the field to 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.320 the backside of the formation. And there's a middle of 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.240 the field safety who had been, you know, clamping down 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.000 on these crossing routes all game long to this point. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.680 But he gets vertical and gets that depth. So the 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.200 incut is there. But what do they do but send 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.960 the overload pressure from that same side where Wattle is open, 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.760 because if they can cause confusion, which off of Leam 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.360 Mikenberg and Jackson Carmen was pretty much whenever they wanted 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.400 to do it, it would force Tua to have to 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.760 move to his left. And there isn't a quarterback on 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.840 the planet that can move off the spot to his left, 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.240 Not even Josh Allen can do this and throw that 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.280 eighteen yard incut to the backside without it getting picked off. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.200 It was a great plan. It was great executed, really 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.600 well executed. I can't even say freaking words. It completely 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.680 stifled our offense and has been the case. There was 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:06.400 minimal ability to adjust or simplify and find man beaters 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.760 and part of that is the structure of it, but 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.480 part of that is also the personnel you had up 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.080 front on the offensive line, which just off that right 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.920 side was not good enough to compete in an NFL game. 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.520 One nice adjustment that was there because they had a 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.720 few adjustments that tracked and worked, was throwing the hookups 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.680 and sticks to tight ends like we found John Ewis 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.839 Smith a couple of times. I think Durham got one 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.760 in the game. There was one to a running back 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.760 as well, where you split those second level defenders and 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.000 you know this one area of space where they play 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.919 that style where the mic linebacker gets more depth and 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.599 helps that safety when he gets vertical or just gives 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.560 a second player in the middle of the field. 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:42.960 Like if you if you peel. 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.440 Back and look at the Texans coverage, most of the 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.200 time you would see a what would you call it, 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.320 like a two to one two formation almost if you're 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.280 talking about soccer or volleyball or I guess even basketball, 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.240 Like two linebackers in the five yard hook area, another 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.920 linebacker in like the ten yard hook area, and then 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.480 two split field safeties at the numbers like fifteen twenty 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.960 yards down the field. Just basically saying, you're not gonna 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.320 throw the ball to this direction, and we have the 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.280 best cornerback in the NFL and Derek Stingley that we 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.200 can play no safety help because he's gonna beat Tyreek 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.680 Hill all game long. And he did that. So that's 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.760 what happened, and we had guys play like crap. We 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.520 adjusted a little bit. Those stick routes kind of worked 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.839 and they would find some space in those hook zones, 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.120 but the Texas would eventually adjust and we could not 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.120 Readjust to the readjustment. I thought there was another really 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:30.960 good adjustment though, where John Wu, and this was kind 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.279 of like the evolution that had to happen more. I 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.920 think in the game where John Wu ran what looked 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.919 like a crosser from an inline why position, and they 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.160 would bring a receiver who was in the slot, you know, 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:43.960 further to the left of John U, to the left 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.120 side of the formation, and he would run that same 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.960 crosser path. But then Johnny would just stop his route 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.280 and sit down between the two linebackers covering and zone, 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.799 and that one receiver would kind of widen that middle 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.240 of the field coverage and create space for Johnny. We've 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.240 got the fourth down conversion on a play just like that, 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.280 and there was another stick throw that we had on 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.719 that same look. That was a nice game for the offense. 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.120 But even then, the Texan zones were so well connected, 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.719 like they could have that you know one that cover 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.880 one Tyreek to the outside, but he also has inside 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.960 eyes that could peel off and go downhill and make 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.320 that tackle on the leak Washington when he runs that 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.680 little pivot route that breaks to the outside. So you're 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.400 covering the one vertical, but you also have eyes on 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.440 the two because that vertical is designed to get the 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.560 cornerback running with him to create that out route throw 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.800 for Tua that we hit against the Jets all day long. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.599 But because they're so good at zone turning and having 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.880 you know, really four to three vertical speed, which if 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:38.919 you go back to like the Brian Flores defense and 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.880 the Bill Belichick defense, really one of their core principles 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.960 at cornerback was you have to run four to three 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.839 because that allows you to be able to get vertical 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.760 and take away deep passes but also come downhill and 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.680 cut down backs and tight ends or slot receivers on outs. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.279 It just expands the field defensively and gives you extra 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.760 defenders really against the count because you're not having to 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.400 play these three high safety looks where we're going to 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.960 basically just give you all the underneath work. We're going 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.040 to cover that and have the skill set to be 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.320 able to come back down the stem and make those 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.600 plays so you can hit those against this coverage, against 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.120 these looks. But it's like five and six yard gains, 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.160 and that's a really tough way to make a living 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.680 in this league, especially when you commit you know, ten 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.920 penalties in the game, and you have drop passes, you 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.360 have a misthrow from a quarterback. Every single miss will 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.600 ruin one of those drives if you try to make 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.400 it that way, and that's never going to lead to 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:28.600 more than points in the team. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.240 So it's not a good way to make a living. 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.320 And just to get into this more like you know, 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.640 I've been complaining about it on various you know, channels whatnot. 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.360 But if you want to defeat this, you're going to 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.200 have to lift that middle of the field camping safety 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.800 and you need to throw corner routes, which I think 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.120 we've proven would be a better option for a catch, 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.080 you know, a catch point pass catcher, someone that can 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.040 go out rebound the defenders, and Travis has to take 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.080 an l ry here because for years I thought it 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.360 doesn't matter how big your receivers are, just get open. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:07:59.640 You throw to open guys. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.440 But when they run certain structures and coverage, I have 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.000 learned and have had to adjust my approach to analyzing 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:10.320 football and just evaluating in general that sometimes those throws 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.920 do require a certain pass catcher. I talked about it 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.080 even in the Jets game when Tua tried Tyreek on 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.960 a couple of those contested plays. He ain't making those catches. 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.840 Those balls are getting knocked down. But my biggest gripe 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.800 of the entire game tape is the effort. This is 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.480 an offense that and you heard coach say this right 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.480 has to play very well connected for it to work. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.440 And that's a whole other can of worms I don't 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.640 feel like getting into right now. I feel like Ck 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.640 Parrott on Twitter kind of spelled that out for you 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.800 if you want to go check out how troubling that 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.840 might be and how much you know you put on 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.280 the quarterback's plate to get to the line scrimmage and 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.120 you know, get the snap off by the time he 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.840 goes through his you know rolodex of checks he has 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.640 to make. And while that might have been over emphasized 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.600 in this scheme, you know the idea to play so connected. 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.640 It's true for everybody. But like a poker player, you know, 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.200 you install your false keys, your play, you're ball handling, 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.360 you run your decoy route. These are the pre the 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.960 pre flop rays that you make. You carry out your action. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.240 After the flop comes out, you make a bet on 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.800 the turn that kind of indicates you're still playing that 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.040 same hand. You have to convince the defense that what 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.480 you're doing has merit, that your bets have merit, that 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.760 you have the hand that you're saying you have. On 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.120 this bluff on the first drive of the game, to 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.800 what tries a glance to waddle but throws it high 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.480 as the middle linebacker gets depth on the pass play 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.240 on play action, I should say you're trying to get 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.000 him to fall step downhill one or two steps to 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.319 create that throwing window over the middle for your quarterback 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.280 against an outside leverage cornerback. It's how you spring big plays. 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.560 The false steps on play action. Throw the endbreaker. Hopefully 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.240 Wattle can make a safety miss and we're off to 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.200 the races right, but on this particular play we fake 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.400 the give and the running back, which in this instance 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.880 was devon a. Chan jogs through the lane and you 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.040 can see number forty three. He takes like a half 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.000 step forward. He very clearly sees the balls not going 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.600 to eight Chan, who's not selling the fake run at all, 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.680 and he backs off and puts his hand right in 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.199 the passing lane and to his throw goes right over 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.160 the top of his hand, which is too high for waddle. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.640 He was able to impact the play because we did 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.880 not sell the run action hard enough. And that's why 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.000 I say, like, it's not this tear down rebuild to 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.280 make things work. It's just these fine little details. And 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.320 when you say that, ultimately that comes back to the top. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.960 So if you want to think it's intangible, I think 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.679 it kind of is in some regards. I think that 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.679 McDaniel's certainly within his ability to make those changes, or 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.840 he's gonna have to be, because you can't keep doing 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.040 this right. And I think that you can go to 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.080 him and say, you know, or to anybody that wants 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.120 to get this thing corrected, and say like, this is 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.800 what has to be corrected, and we're gonna have to 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.319 make some changes to make it happen. And I think 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.600 that that's very well within you know, again his skill set. 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.160 But that's what has to happen, regardless of who it is. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.360 That is what has to happen. You have to find adjustment, 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.720 and you have to find better effort and just more 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.640 strain in those particular moments because you are not doing 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.240 enough to execute those fine details. 0:10:58.280 --> 0:10:59.440 And again I'll go back to Cee K. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.200 Parrott that he wrote that out in terms of, you know, 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.160 some of the off seas and decisions, and I'll leave 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.600 him to give you, I think a pretty good glance 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.839 at how some of those things can change. And then 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.439 how about this that third down play on the first 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.079 drive where Tua just scrambles out of bounds. You see 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.320 Tyreek bunched right next to Malik Washington and they both 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.200 run in cuts at the exact same depth down the field. 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.400 And then Tyreek changes where he's going because I think 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.000 he realizes he probably ran the wrong route, which happened 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.000 three or four times in this game. Then he starts 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.920 blocking thirty yards down the field with the flat defender 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.720 in front of Tua, and Tua's not gonna make anybody miss. 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.560 We know that, so why we block him? Like all 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.040 he had to do was come back downhill and run 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.120 towards the sideline and Tua would have had a target 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:41.600 and you could have found him for a first down. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.599 But instead it goes for a short run or a 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.800 negative run for like one yard and we're punting. 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.560 So yeah, I can't have that. 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.520 The next drive, the Tua scramble both Reek and maleik 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.080 Okay that rams occupy the same five yards of space 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.040 after they break off the stem. Somebody ran the wrong 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.800 route once again, not for nothing. I think Derek Stingley 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.280 again might be the best cornerback in football. The fourth 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.640 quarter pick wasn't the only rep where they trusted him 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.320 without safety help on Tyreek hill. And the way he 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.839 can flip his hips and get vertical at that four 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.960 to three speed then change direction right back down the stem. 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.199 I don't think there's anybody in the league that does 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.720 it like him. And the way they run to the 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.120 football and hit they pack a punch. That's a damn 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.559 good defense that has taken on the personality of their 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.079 head coach. Go watch Demiko Ryans play a middle linebacker 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.440 for the Houston Texans and go watch the Houston Texans 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.920 play that game yesterday. It's the exact same thing. You 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.679 are a reflection of your head coach. That has been 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.200 true since day one, back in freaking nineteen ten football, 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.680 and it is today in twenty twenty four. And look, 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.400 I think there are a lot of issues that tie 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.560 back to that, you know, the top. And this is 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.240 not my platform to, like, you know, say make this 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.480 change and hire this guy, like I'm not doing that. 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.199 But I think it's fair to say that we were 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.560 soundly out coached. And that is a freaking theme my 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.680 friends in these games. If you want to see a 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.520 great example, And look, I praised some of the adjustments, right, 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.400 but pull up third quarter, eight thirty seven. We run 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.040 all stick. It's five end of the route, empty formation. 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.120 They all run five yards down the field and turn 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.360 back to the quarterback. And it looks like when you're 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.040 playing pick up basketball with your mates and nobody wants 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.319 to like do anything to get open. Everyone just stands 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.320 around and looks at each other and nothing happens. So 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.640 I don't know, man, it just wasn't a good plan. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.240 It wasn't well executed, it wasn't well adjusted and that's 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.560 why you got beat. And I think it's you know, 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.079 a theme that has developed for this team in the 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.560 last three years. And again not to I saw someone 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.160 that doesn't like my work but listens to all the podcasts, 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:37.359 first of all, said. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.640 Whoa, it's me. No, it's the saying is woe is me? Dude, 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.720 and not whoa, it's woe woe is me. 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:45.880 I thought that was hilarious that they came at me 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.800 so hot and had that commentary. I'm assuming he'll hear 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.960 this podcast as well. Not to like, you know, complain 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.000 about being a Dolphins fan for thirty years and getting 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.040 no fruit from it, but rather than getting my whole 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.640 career made by working for the team. But you know, 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.120 like I was talking to Crabs about this on Sunday night, 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.800 and like, dude, this perpetual cycle, especially when we go 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.000 from Brady to Josh Allen, right, you know, not even 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.680 a season's break there, we got like the you know, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.080 you couldn't get like one division title layup for yourself 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.120 in the one off year. You go right from one 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.400 great to the probably like Josh Hallin's is the best 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.720 quarterback of all time right now, My goodness, but it 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.040 was nice to have that two year reprieve right where 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.960 it wasn't like eight to nine, nine and eight in 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.240 the hunt column, which was the worst place to be 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.480 those I've talked about on the podcast, those you know, 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:33.880 twenty really nine to like twenty eighteen Dolphins. That's the 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.160 worst place to be in the entire National Football League. 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.480 And grant that we're we're kind of back there right 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.400 now with some you know, mitigating circumstances that have caused that, 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.560 and luckily, you know, better quarterback play will typically get 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.320 you out of that. And we have that even though 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:47.960 he missed four games, and you can argue that those 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:48.680 are the four games that. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.440 Kept out of the playoffs. YadA YadA yah. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.000 But the whole point is this, Like, I don't think 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:54.920 it has to be this doom and gloom, like we're 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:56.800 only going to be this nine and eight team again forever. 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.160 I think that you're not that far away from making 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.800 some tweaks and adjustment, but you will, you know, it 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.600 will require some philosophical core changes, maybe some big pieces 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.200 going on, maybe addition by subtraction, just all the things 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.840 that you look at with this team. I don't advocate 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.400 for anything in particular. I'm, you know, here to go 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.360 with the motions and basically go with the flow of 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.760 what they decide. But I think that we can all 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.040 agree that there has to be something that changes. You 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.880 can't just roll back the same program, same philosophy, same 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.920 concept in year number four. You just can't do that right. 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.280 It hasn't worked. You have to make an adjustment. That's 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.680 my plea. Let's come back here and do the quarterback 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.360 and the rest of the offense, and the next segment, 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.160 third second, we'll do the defense. It will be a 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.760 quicker show today than the Tuesday show usually is Draft 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.360 Time Podcast, your host, Travis Wingfield, brought to you by 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:46.520 Auto Nation. All right, let's get to the quarterback talk here. 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:50.000 Segment two, Film review podcast. Dolphins lose twenty twelve to 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.760 the Houston Texans. Gosh, should have won that football game. Man, 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.880 offense gotta be better than that, and the quarterback has 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.720 to be better than that too. He had some accuracy 0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:00.000 issues early on that I thought kind of brought back 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.960 some of those same feelings about big game moments for 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.880 Tua Tounguaailoa, and I do think that those are a 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:06.920 little bit overstated because there's a lot of the things 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.640 I just talked about, But he certainly has his hand 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.440 in this issue as well. Twenty six year old quarterback. 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.240 Is this who's going to be forever in terms of 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.920 some of the misthrows in these spots. I don't think 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.240 that's how it works, but I can certainly understand your 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.880 concern if you do feel that way. And he had 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.640 accuracy issues early on, and the Texans clearly wanted to 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.080 flood the interior with pressure, and I thought he did 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.120 a good job early of getting off the spot and 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.240 moving to his left. The first instant had no route 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.640 peeled back with him. But then the second one, the 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:39.880 one that Tyreek Hill kicked, which hey, if you can 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.440 get a foot on it, you can probably get a 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:42.960 hand on. 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:43.480 It, you know. 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.120 But Tua's throw was way off the market. It should 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.840 have been a much easier pitching catch than it was. 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:49.840 To have missed that one cost us a first down 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.600 on that spot. Then he missed on a corner to Tyreek, 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.880 and frankly, I thought it was their best play design 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.800 early in the game of the day because the Texans 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.440 had been holding that cloud corner that I'm talking about 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.960 ad nauseum here and I'm just so impressed by that 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.320 ability to do that, and I realizing, you know, the 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.919 athletic ability they have at the position. As much as 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.320 I love and praise the Dolphins cornerbacks, we don't have 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.040 that change of direction skill set to get back downhill. 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.760 But the cornerback was able to get some depth and 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.760 take away up to like ten yards on the outbreaking stuff, 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.600 and Tua shoots one for Tyreek with Wattle running an 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.400 out from the slot, and Tua pumps the ball to Wattle, 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.240 who's the two, right, the second receiver from Again, if 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:29.440 you listen to the show, you know this, but for 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.080 your first time listening, the one receiver is the closest 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.440 to the sideline, the two is the next closest inside, 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.480 three is the next. It just keeps going inside until 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.200 you get to you know, three or four, maybe even five, 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.080 but nobody runs five zero formations is three by one, 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.880
