Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. Who what is up? Dolphins?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And Welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. I am your host,
Travis Wingfield, and on today's show. Oh yeah, I've been
waiting on this episode for nine months.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I've been waiting all year for a week won It's
Colts Preview Day. You know the drill.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We're gonna tell you everything there is to know about
the matchup, from the personnel to the schemes and everything
in between. It's almost game day. I've got the most
comprehensive game preview podcast in the Dolphins content space. Dolphins
and Colts Week one, CBS one o'clock from the Baptist
Hell Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
This is the Draft Time Podcast. Maggie Daffey, Sir, So, I.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Wanted to change the look of the preview episodes this
year just a little bit. We've done that a couple
times over the past, but it's just always trying to find,
you know, the things that work the things that don't,
and I felt it became a teensy bit too formulaic
in the past, and we're still gonna hit the same notes,
but I want to present it in a little bit
more of a refreshed way for y'all. They kind of
(01:22):
get to the more important things first compared to just
going like a step by step. So that said, I'm
going to start the way we always do with an
introduction into the episode or into the opponent, I should
say for the episode the Indianapolis Colts, they are entering
the third year under head coach Shane Steichen, and they
are seventeen and seventeen in those two seasons eight and
(01:44):
nine one year, nine and eight the other year, and
they're honestly one dropped pass away from knocking the Houston
Texans out of the twenty twenty three playoffs, I should say,
and making the playoffs that you're with Gardner Minshew go kooks,
and honestly, I think we're starting to kind of knee.
You're the point where it's time to maybe think about
(02:04):
starting to kind of feel bad for Colts fans. But
then again, Efhelm because they're still an AFC East foe
to me, and they went from Peyton Manning to a
season where they tanked intentionally by signing Kerrie Collins that
year and going with was it Jim Sorgie, I forget
who it was, but doesn't matter because that was supposed
to be our year to get Andrew Luck, and then
(02:25):
Matt Moore won too many games, and they got Andrew
Luck and then went from Peyton Manning to one horrid
season to Andrew Luck for seven years. And although Andrew
Luck's career in Indianapolis fell woefully short of what it
should have been because he had all time great quarterback
ability and just everything about him was on that level,
but they didn't protect him for years. He got injured
(02:46):
a bunch of times and called it a career after
seven seasons. But to go from you know, nine straight
years of ten plus wins under Manning and more good
years beyond that, they had a weird like fall off
and one after big years from ninety nine to two
thousand and one, and to have one year out of that,
what eighteen year span of bad quarterback play like man Efhelm,
(03:08):
because like, we didn't have that for twenty years. And
if you go back in Colt's history, they've i mean
nine straight years double digit wins and quite frankly, there
was two of those nine seasons that were ten wins.
The rest were twelve twelve, fourteen, twelve, thirteen, twelve and fourteen,
the year between Manning and Luck, they were awful. Then
it was eleven wins for three years straight, like they
were spoiled for a very long time. Now more recently,
(03:32):
that's where you start to almost maybe kind of start
to thinking about maybe beginning to feel bad because it's
been an absolute struggle, and that is tied to the
converse of what they've enjoyed for so long.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's quarterback purgatory. And it looked like they might hop.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Off that hamster wheel briefly when they spent the fourth
overall pick in the twenty twenty two draft twenty three drafts.
Sorry on Anthony Richardson, but he loses the camp battle
to Daniel Jones, and now they'll go back to a
veteran and a cast off of another team, just like
they did for years before Anthony Richardson. When Luck retired,
(04:05):
it was Jacoby Brissett, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz and then
two years of ar with Menshugo, Koogs and Flacco filling
in and.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Now Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And throughout all of that was the dismissal of Frank
Right in place of the interim who was plucked from
an ESPN studio job in Jeff Sati Day, Yeah, higher Saturday,
and then'll do it. Chris Ballard enters his ninth season
in charge as the GM, and I think he's got
a pretty decent roster there with some good picks and additions.
But he'll be the first one to tell you the
(04:39):
quarterback carousel, it is tough to consistently win when you've
got that, and when you don't have stability at the
quarterback position. You can have really good rosters and you
can be not much. Look at the Jets the Zach
Wilson years there right like, they were loaded on defense,
had enough on offense, and just the quarterback made everything
not work, made the defense stay on the field too,
(05:00):
and by the time October rolled around, they were no
longer the good defense they were previously. So he's overseen them,
Chris Ballad, I should say overturn or turn that defensive
tackle position into a loaded one. With DeForest Buckner and
that first round pick they traded for him years ago,
and Grover Stewart was a nice fine in twenty twenty four.
His first round pick is a guy that's going to
dictate basically what they are. I think is a defense
(05:23):
this year off the edge in Laatu lot To and
I liked him a whole bunch coming out of college.
You heard a bunch about him on this podcast. And
if he's good, I think that entire pass Russ is
going to be good. If not, I don't think it's
going to be good. And they went hard after the
defensive backfield this year, which we'll talk about how that
pairs with new defensive coordinator lou and Roumo. And you
heard it on the podcast yesterday with JJ Stankovitz, which
(05:46):
kind of stole from the Thursday Thunder. He was very good,
That's why you get him on the podcast, but I'm
not used to getting that type of a breakdowns through
on the show. So JJ killed it for us. And
then on offense, there's a lot of continuity on that
staff with Jim Bob Cooter as the OC for Shane
Staking for the last now two plus into their third seasons,
they'll have to overcome two losses on the offensive line.
Matt Gonzalvez steps in for Will Fries and Ryan Kelly
(06:10):
is out and in his place is Tanner Bordolini at
the center position. They'll work in the second tight end
take it in this year's draft in Tyler Warren, and
I have to imagine that even with a pretty deep
wide receiver corp that doesn't really have a true bona
fide number one, that he'll be their second best option
beyond their best player on the entire team in Jonathan Taylor.
Let's go ahead and just break down their depth chart here,
(06:31):
real quick and real quick, off the top like depth charts.
If you're worried about Kenneth Grant being behind Bunnyito Jones,
just put a pin in it. We'll come back on
Monday and we'll talk about who plays forty five snaps
versus who plays twenty or whatever it is?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Okay, can we agree on that.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I'm sure you're gonna get a bunch of riled up
tweets from certain people that want to complain about Kenneth
Grant not being a starter. Just wait se many snaps
he plays on Sunday, then we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Okay. Cool.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So the Colt's depth chart, which I took this off
our lads. I'd rather use our lads in the team's
official depth charts because the teams aren't telling the truth.
To be honest with you, Mike McDaniel has said as
much as it's required for him to do it, and
he spends not much time on it. But you look
at the coltsier so Jones and Richardson at quarterback, Taylor
and Tyler Goodson are the running backs there, So if
JT were to get nicked up in miss time, it
(07:16):
kind of changes the entire operation of that offense. I
just think that it's going to be like an eighty
twenty percent workload there. And JT is the kind of
guy you want to give the football to. He works
in pass protection really well. He's a good pass catcher.
The offense goes through Jonathan Taylor, and it's kind of
a miracle that he's even still there to begin with
because that hold out slash trade situation a couple of
years ago, when him and the recently departed Rest in
(07:38):
Peace Jim Ursy had that training camp spat at receiver,
It's like, I like some of these guys, but no
one I'm in love with. And in fact, the guy
that listened his third here, I think is their best
receiver in Josh Downs. His ability to separate in short
spaces and create windows for the quarterback is going to
be to me, Daniel Jones's best friend in this game.
Michael Pittman's a big body who can kind of, you know,
(08:00):
take advantage of contested catch opportunities, take advantage of one
on one ops to the backside, and kind of catch
those X routes against smaller cornerbacks. So I'm curious to
see how Miami might match up against him. I do
think that that's probably a Storm Duck match up there
with Jackie Jones drawing Josh downs there, and we'll see
who starts between. You know, the depth chart for the
Dolphins right now is Jones and Duck, and that to
(08:22):
me is believable because of the performances of the preseason
and I have been telling you guys for a long
time I thought jack Jones was the best cornerback on
the team, and then Jason Marshall is very deep. So
who starts in the nickel position could kind of change
how this looks. With Rasul Douglas's three and Juju Brentz
at four behind that, with Marshall being fifth, I'm curious
(08:42):
to see how that might shake down on game day,
because to me, Pittman is an obvious matchup for duck
and downs is an obvious matchup for Jack Jones with
Jason Marshall playing inside for kind of a mixed match
on Donna Mitchell and Alec Piercepofels. Guys are vertical threats,
and I'm curious if the Dolphins will play a more
single this year. I think they will with a little
bit more man coverage and pressed up and kind of
(09:04):
getting in guys' faces and being more matchup oriented. With
the range on the back end that Ashton Davis displays,
and I think that his ability to play in this
game will dictate the type of coverage you can run.
If it's if e Mela fun, we will probably more
split field safety look. So I think the way they
match up and how they go with their man coverage
versus zone coverage could depend on the availability of Ashton
(09:27):
Davis come Sunday. At the tight end position, I think
you have to really be aware of Tyler Warren. Moiley
Cox is a blocking tight end that we did on
the Free Agent podcast, you know, the review of possible
available free agent tight ends, and he just didn't really
move the needle at all. So to me, Tyler Warren
is a key in the split flow run game. They're
inside zone game, and also as a potential security blanket
(09:50):
for Daniel Jones, who I fully expect everything to be
short for Jones, So Downs and Warren in that area
of the field are going to be critical. And the
best aspect of this offense is their offensive line paired
with Jonathan Taylor, even with the losses of Fries and Kelly,
like their tackles. Bernard Raymond and Braden Smith are really
good players. Left guard Quentin Nelson, you guys know who
(10:10):
he is. He's a really good player who's kind of
had a bit of a regression in the last couple
of years, but he's still a very good player. And
then of course Tanner Bordolini and Matt Gonsalves, which to me,
the key for the Dolphins defense against those guys is
to really heat them up in terms of their games.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
They can run.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I mean, this defense, we've been talking about it for months,
right It's calling card has to be the ability to
create pressure without the need to win matchups. But now
this year they should have the pieces to win those matchups.
I think if you can overwhelm those two guys with
you know, presentations that don't result in what they actually
are post snap with one on one wins against Ryman
(10:48):
and potentially Braden Smith for Chop for Bradley Chubb for
Jalen Phillips.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
That's the key here.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
If you can win enough those one on one matchups
off the edge with the confusion, I think you can
give those guys with Zach Steeler and Kenneth Grant on
the inside with a new quarterback and a new offense.
To me, that's where this defense really gets after the
Colts offense is taking advantage of the new quarterback, the
new two interior guys, and the fact that that quarterback
is kind of pop gunny, and if you can really
heat him up and pressure him that way, I think
(11:13):
you could hold this offense, really hold him down for
sixty minutes. Their defensive depth chart. We'll go ahead and
do this and close this like went up here. DeForest
Buckner and Grover Stewart kind of stir the drink in
the middle there. Buckner length can really disrupt you with displacement, pass, rush,
and run game. I think you have to prey consistently
find a way to get two guys on him. I
expect Aaron Brewer to kind of you know, get into
(11:34):
those pass pro looks and then scan left and probably
go back across the right and go help James Daniels
on DeForest Buckner and vice versa off the left side
with Jonas of vite Naya. But you gotta be aware
of Grover Stewart who can play that nose tackle position
and maybe that length and power for Aaron Brewer, who
is one of the best players on the team and
one of the best centers in the league. For my money,
I think the Colts do have a good matchup situation
there if it is going to be Brewer by himself,
(11:55):
which it probably won't be, And that's a good reason
why you do know, upgrade your side at those guard
positions for teams like this and to help brew against
bigger players. I'm not saying brew can't handle it, but
he's not a bigger center, right, He's a smaller center,
and when you can flank him with two bigger, powerful guards.
I like the way you can match up against a
team like this that has those two guys that can
really dent you with their size and their strength and
(12:16):
their length too, because DeForest Buckner is one of the
longest defensive tackles in the league off the edge, It's
just it's lacking the big name juice Quitty Pay hasn't
really popped the way he should. I feel like between
him and Layatu La too, Samson Ebukam and Taekwon Lewis,
those are all nice names. And the rookie JT Timola
Lalu whoops, didn't get that right. I think that for
(12:38):
the Dolphins' ability to game plan against edges with the
motions and the jet sweeps and the quick sets and
the jump sets the tackle position, not to mention the
fact that it is Austin Jackson and Patrick Paul. I
really like Miami's ability this week to keep the edge
pressure off of Tua and allow them to kind of
put bodies inside and pass pro from the running back
position with Scam protect inside and account for all the
(13:00):
fire zones they might throw on the interior and leave
the outside to one on one matchups that two can
then mitigate with his you know, processing and quick ball
and quick release get the ball out quickly, because I
just don't think there's a matchup issue off the edge
in any capacity here for the Colts against this Dolphins offense.
The linebacker position. I kind of feel like you can,
you know, put these guys into buying too. Camer mcgroener,
(13:22):
Cam mcgron, sorry, Zaire, Franklin and Joe Bashi are the Will,
the Mike and the Sam. But it's going to be
mostly Franklin on the field with mcgrone as well, because
it's more of a you know, four two five defense.
But I think that Franklin's ability as a rusher is
better going downhill in the blitz game, which we can
(13:42):
mitigate with Tua's quick release and you know, getting the
ball out hot to his hot receivers in the checkdown game,
in the screen game. And I think you can also
mitigate that with the running game because he is a
smaller player, and I think you can get some double
team combinations at the second level and move these guys
off the football. And then if you watch Franklin operate
backwards and robot technique where he's running vertical to cover
(14:02):
those middle of the field shots that two alecs to throw,
I don't think that's his bread and butter either, So
to me, they're gonna have to walk one of the
safeties up and consistently, you know, buzz the crossers and
that might open up downfield shots, which against a team
that wants to play as much man coverage as the
Colts do with Tarvarius Ward, with Jalen Jones and in
the slot Kenny Moore, a very good threesome of cornerbacks.
(14:23):
We'll see if they all go in the game. They've
all missed significant time and that's going to be a
key for us. Later on in the podcast here is
talking about going after cornerbacks in a new defense that
haven't practiced a lot together. If they have to get
into the depth, cool, We'll take those matchups as they come,
and if not, if it's man coverage, we'll go after
those guys and win against man coverage. That's what ty
you can wattill do for their entire career. And if
they play the zone coverages, then well, I think you
(14:45):
just consistently, you know, spam certain areas of the field
and wait for the breakdowns to happen, because I think
it can on this particular part of the defense. And
then the safety that I'm the concerns me the most,
the player on defense that concerns me the most, more
than as much as DeForest Buckner, cambind them. He is
kind of a straw that stirs the drink on the
back end. To borrow that phrase for a second time,
but his ability to kind of fly all over the
(15:07):
football field and just make plays as a blitzer and
in coverage, he can kind of make a lot of
things right in that loot and a remo defense, And
I think he is the kind of string that tethers
all that together. And I think Miami has to just
be privy of where Cambinam is at all times. So
that's the depth chart and the introduction to the team
and kind of a look at their personnel. Let's go
ahead and pause, come back and talk about offensive and
defensive schematics. We're going to talk about what's at stake,
(15:29):
how to game plan this thing or overview special teams
and miscellaneous, how they might play against US Keys to victory.
Busy Busy podcast Plady to come here at draft time,
brought to you by AutoNation picking it back up here
on a Thursday, the first game preview podcast of the
new season. We got football tonight. We picked the two
(15:51):
games already on yesterday's show. We took the Eagles and
the Chiefs to beat the Cowboys and Chargers in the
Thursday and Friday game. Bring me more NFL Friday games forever, please,
I love it. Week one last year was fun. Week
one this year going to be an absolute blast. I
wish we had more of that because quite frankly, I
don't go to a high school football game, so more
(16:13):
NFL would be swift. Bro Let's talk about some schematics
here and what it might look like in terms of
how the Colts want to play this when it comes
to Dolphins offense versus the Colts defense. So some of
the scheme calling cards of the Colts defense under new
DC lou and Aarumo who was here before.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
He was with the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He was there for that Bengals magic carpet Rides Super
Bowl run when they had veteran Leyden talent all over
the defense. Now, I guess one aspect that I've kind
of talked about in terms of the lack of continuity,
a new coach, a new system here, I suppose you
could say that they had the same thing in Cincinnati
in twenty one when they signed a whole bunch of
free agency that defense, and it clicked for them. I
(16:53):
guess not right, away, But by the end of the
year they were playing at a very very high level.
And then they had a talent bleed since and lost
a bunch of those pieces, and the defense wasn't the
same because you have to be smart, you have to
be on your rules, and it's because there's a lot
of versatility and flexibility and pre snap presentations. And you've
heard coach Weaver talk about this, how it took them,
you know, a few weeks into the season last year
(17:15):
before it became second nature for them, and he had
to teach the coaches to how to you know, how
to teach it, how to coach it, how to how
to address certain things and how to make corrections. Well,
I don't expect the Colts to have that figured out
right away. So my thought is, if you can, you know,
talk about continuity on either side of the football, that
should be an area the Dolphins have the advantage in
(17:35):
now as far as what they want to be from
lou An Ariumo's past, and I think the signings would
indicate that they're not trying to change anything based upon
what is you know, kind of his calling card. They're
going to blitch you a lot on first down that's
fire zone. From that first down, try to create a negative,
try to create a situation where they have to you know,
they can kind of play passive and let you take
a small gain and stay into third and medium DeLong
(17:57):
and then go man coverage with some more exotic blook.
Blitz looks that way, but lots of blitz is on
first down. But is that not like Tua's bread and butter.
I mean, see the blitz, replace the the blitzer with
the football, and let's just go from there and keep
taking those checkdowns and short passes like that's the game nowadays.
I'm sure you guys watch college football. In Week one,
all those games were played within ten yards of the
(18:19):
line of scrimmage, right, and there were some low scoring
games Texas, Ohio State, you know, LSU and Clemson, Miami
nor Daan was low scoring towards the very end. That's
how the game is nowadays. Man explosives are kind of
going away in defense. The pendulum has swung back that way.
So for Miami and what two was able to accomplish
last year in terms of being that proficient on time,
on schedule quarterback absent the big playability down the field,
(18:42):
I think we got to see a combination of those
two things, and against this defense, if they are going
to blitz you and you can find a chan for
your quick beater, you can find Malik Washington, who kind of,
you know, fulfills some part of a role that John
news Smith fulfilled last year, right in terms of being
an immediate quick separator that can make a catch and
make guys miss. And Nick Westbrookokine kind of falls in
to that. So I think Tua has options. I think
(19:02):
when they blitz and they have to rotate, I think
if you just stay patient and keep taking the profit
there that eventually they're gonna bust, they're gonna miss a tackle,
and you're gonna get a long play. In this game,
That's kind of how I see it going. They're gonna
play the run on the way to the quarterback, which
to me, you can that's a gamble, man. If you
don't hit that, if you don't fit it right, if
you miss a tackle on Davon h Chan, he can
get out the gate and you can have a one
(19:23):
on one for a safety for a you know, a
twenty yard play or a seventy yard touchdown. And I
just feel like our ability to move guys off the football.
Having most of this offensive line and their continuity through
the first last five weeks together sans Austin Jackson, who's,
you know, the longest tenured guy here, So it's like
maybe that there's if there's one guy to miss some time,
it is him. I feel like the Dolphins can can
(19:45):
create some surge in the running game and get these
guys off the football and run them wide and tire
out those big bodies on the inside and force them
to go into that depth because I think that front
seven as much as I like some of the front
line guys, you get a little bit into that depth,
it starts to get thin there pretty quick. A couple
of numbers here, Brian Flores, de Spagnolo and lou and
Arumo are the only guys with forty percent of their
(20:05):
fire zone being off quarters. What does that mean? Quarters
is basically a four high coverage, right, it's cover four.
It's you know, four birds on a fence, four birds
in a post. However you want to call that four
guys at the sticks and they can. You know, you
kind of have to either like win a bracket vertical
like you've seen Tyreek do against the Eagles back in
twenty three, had a long touchdown against the Patriots that
(20:26):
year as well. I believe you can either run them
out of it that way or continue to take short
stuff and try to just basically nickel and dime them,
because if they're going to play that, you have to
run the ball and take short passing stuff, soft zones
on second and down, try to get ahead on second
and down, and then third down they're gonna flip to
heavy man coverage, which is where the Travarious Ward signing
comes into play. He is one of the stickiest man
cover corners, but he had a bit of a weird
(20:48):
year last year in San Francisco with some injuries and
had the loss of his daughter, which sucks. Like I
don't want to, you know, talk about any of the
impact that had in football, but I'm sure it did,
because that's just one of those things where it's like, Okay,
I don't I'm not going to celebrate that. But he's
got a big contract looking to come back, and he's
kind of close to that, you know that age thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Cliff.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I'm curious if he travels, does he who's the cover
between Reek and Waddle I hope it's Reek, because I
think Wattle can be the guy that could eat against
the rest of this group here. And in terms of
Jalen Jones and maybe even Xavier Howard if he plays
in this game, but beyond Kenny Moore, who in the slot.
To me, that's kind of the Colt's best matchup here
is Kenny Morris is Leak Washington because he's so athletic
and sticky and can play type man covers and fit
(21:28):
the run like Kenny Moore is as a guy that
if they do draw that matchup, I'm happy to have
that because I think he's their best cover guy and
I like Malik, but you know, I'd rather have the
ball going ten seventeen. So fire zones early soft on
second down and then third down man coverage with some
you know Cover one and possibly some blitzer is in
there as well, and the guys to really keep an
eye out for. To Forest Buckner and Grover Stewart, we
(21:50):
talked about their length and ability to impact the offense
in terms of how they can push you back. I
mentioned Kenny Moore against Malak Washington. Watch him on blitzes
kind of you know, showing man belling out in zone
jump a short route, so to it has to be
very privy to where Kenny Moore is at all times.
Zaire Franklin's a Pro Bowl player, but I think that
he's a guy you can go after on this defense
in terms of how the Dolphins offense matches up against them,
(22:11):
whether it's you know, in zone coverage, dropping and dropping
back in the middle of the field, whether he's coming
on the blitz and you know, taking advantage of his
blitz and throwing the ball behind his ear hole, and
then Cam bind him as of Brian Flores satellite man.
That system and him makes so much sense. I'm really
curious to see how the Dolphins match up with his
with pass protecting against Cam Binam because I don't love
(22:32):
Devon Ahen in that role. But if he's going to
blitz the running back and Devon can you know, chip
and get out into the passing numbers, then I do
like that role all of a sudden. So those are
the guys then Tarvariuschwartz their third down man, cover guy.
The overview here the guys they added for lou and
every will make a ton of sense. He puts so
much on his players in a mental workload and physical
aspect of the game. And when they had that in Cincinnati,
(22:55):
they were just awesome. But then they had that talent
bleed and replaced it with rookies an unproven guy. So
my question is, you had so many guys absent throughout
camp with Ward and Moore and Johnson all missing time
in August, So how well will it be connected in
their first go round of the season against an offense
that has, you know, four years of continuity you're in
year four versus a day one team they also had
(23:16):
last year. This is just some more stats for you.
They had the fewest sacks in two and a half
seconds or less. They had thirteen and a half of those,
which is like schemed up pressures, right, But when they won,
it was in that two and a half to three
second mark period, which is like where four man rushes
do actually win. But that's not how the scheme works.
So I'm really curious to see how the front seven jives
with this new scheme, how they might play US. I
(23:38):
think they'll look at the key to beating us being
to reroute at the line of scrimmage, paired with timely
blitzes and sim pressures on first down, Blitzer on the
way to the run. If we can id vacancies and
or run the football, it takes that whole plan out
of the window. So from Miami, I look to come
out and have a good game plan that attacks this
defense and gets them on their back foot and just
keeps going after them all games along that way.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I think Miami can score in this game.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
This might be a good Colts defense, but I really
think the Dolphins can take it to him here in
this first game and post a lot of points in
this one. They're going to want to create protection breakdowns
and make to a think and double clutch to his
initial or secondary reid. If twa handles all that employs
a clean game doesn't turn the ball over, I think
Miami's going to score points and really do well in
this game. Let's go ahead and take our last break
(24:22):
rate there, come back and do the Dolphins defense versus
the Colts offense. I've also got what's at stake here,
how they might play us special teams and miscellaneous keys
a victory plenty more to come here on this Thursday,
Week one preview edition of the Draft Time Podcast, brought
to you by Auto Nation. When the Dolphins defense takes
the field against Dan Jones and the Colts offense, some
(24:44):
of those calling cards offensively for the Colts, they want
to run to set up everything else in their offense.
The entire thing runs through Jonathan Taylor, And quite frankly,
that's why I was far more worried about Anthony Richardson
at quarterback. And I thought JJ made a bunch of
great points about staying on schedule and being you know,
I guess, just playing like layup football. I get where
(25:05):
he's coming from from that standpoint, but also like, if
that's how you have to play it, and that's the
quarterback you want, I mean, quarterbacks have to be difference makers,
right like you gotta be the one that drives the offense.
And it sounds like they're trying to play just conservative
football and run the ball and keep the game close
with defense, and I just don't think that works, even
in an era where the defensive pendulum swings back in
(25:27):
favor of the defense compared to the offensive explosion we
had there for like ten fifteen years. But they want
to run everything through Jonathan Taylor. They want to get
to their multiple verticals, their four vert sets from various
packages with vertical spacing and second level displacement off of
play play pass. They have a lot of these slow
developing zone beaters where it's like double moves from stacks
(25:48):
to kind of test your rules. We saw it in
the Detroit game. And this is why I like preseason football. Man,
you can learn from preseason football. That touchdown pass the
Lions had to was it teslaw, was it a different one?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I forget who it was.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
But when they had the total bus right and weaves
like they had a banjo beater, we didn't banjo it correctly,
which is you know, first in, first in, second out,
second out, and the Dolphins busted it and they got
a touch on out of it. They're gonna try that
kind of stuff from those stacks, those tight formations. Everything
is set up to attack levels off the run game.
If you stop their running game, you should really be
able to dominate this Colts offense. And when they do
(26:21):
get to their running game, it's bread and butter split zone.
And what that means is a tight end from the
front side of the formation comes across the backside of
the formation and kicks out the back edge defender and
we saw Miami get pretty aggressive with those backside sea
gap defenders in the run game in preseason. That's a
Jason Marshall role. So you're gonna see lots of Tyler
Warren cracking back on Jason Marshall. But if you get
(26:42):
that kickout, that means you're getting an edge or a
safety cracking down against the run game there. So that's
why I like Marshall's role. If he is that guy
comes Sunday, we'll find out. We're not gonna know until
game day who's gonna who that's gonna be, or it's
gonna be a rotation, like we'll find out, but we're.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Not there yet.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
But if you can kick out Tyler Warren, if you
can hold him in there on the running game, then
it becomes a lot less dangerous across the entire offense,
and especially when you only have Daniel Jones and for
Anthony Richardson, because like in the red zone, you know,
Daniel Jones was like Ryan Tannehill's a running right. You
give him to space, he can get there quickly because
he has these long strides, but he's not going to
make guys miss. He's not going to be a red
(27:18):
zone three, he's not going to push piles the way
Ar is. And to me, like I was more scared
of Richardson because I think that he would give them
a chance to score touchdowns down on the red zone
where the Colts might be able to drive the ball
here a little bit. But I don't think they're going
to have a lot of success scored in the red
zone because I think we can load up against the
run and really forced Daniel Jones to make quick decisions
and throw tight windows, and I think you'll get some
(27:38):
red zone hands on footballs, and you'll get some lack
of continuity in the Colts passing game down in that area.
So they might score, might drive the field a couple times,
but I don't think they're going to have a lot
of red zone success in this game. And they had
under Anthony Richardson unfurled this RPO game as a bit
of a counter off that split zone action, but that
was aar And again, Jones is an okay athlete, but
(27:59):
he's not going to beat Robinson or Willie Gay on
a foot race of the corner. They also have a
little bit of a wham trap variation they run where
it's a counter off that split zone action with a
tight end or the edge offensive player comes across the
formation and rather than kicking all the way out, they'll
let like Kenneth Grant or Zach Seeler, they'll just turn
him loose like it's a screen, but they're gonna wham him,
(28:20):
which means that tight end comes across and tries to
whack him.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So I think that if they try that.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I do like both Zach and Kenny's ability to play
with their gap integrity and play within the structure of
the defense and just go flat out be like you're
gonna block me the tight end like good luck on that.
They also have this really cool look that I quite
like in their offense where they get to these vertical
clearouts often from trips to throw off of these like
bunched stems where you have multiple guys in the same
(28:45):
area of the field, but it requires the quarterback to
read it out quickly. And with how our defense plays
and what I think of Daniel Jones as an ability to,
you know, play on time, I think there's an ability
to put hands on receivers here and disrupt the footwork
in the time and get them off those vertical stems
in the same vicinity and cause pile ups and have
the ball going into these collection of Dolphins and Colts
(29:07):
players and hey man, tips and overthrows can change games.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I think you're gonna see some of that in this game.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I think you're gonna see balls into like a bunch
receiver set with which is two receivers and two defensive
players right in that same vicinity, and they're gonna try
to run something tricky where it's a clearout and a
stem off of that clear out, and if we can
disrupt it, or if they're not on time, they trip
up and they wind up in the same area of
the field. Here comes the football and there's a hand
of the ball and goes straight up in the air
(29:32):
and Hoop catches it. From there is like, you know,
how the game is decided, and like the defense gets
their hands on one of those, the game could be over.
So I think Miami's ability to put hands on footballs
in this game is gonna be key. I think you're
gonna see tkeaways right away from this defense that we
talked about all week long is the goal here is
to get more takeaways. Right the guys to game plan
for you know who they are, Jonathan Taylor. His patience
(29:54):
to power getting clear gaps makes them a home run threat,
like all the time. You need to clog them up
on these Dow inside zone schemes to keep the backers free,
and I think we can do that. Between Jordan Brooks
and Tyrol Dotson, getting free runs against Taylor is a key,
and I think we can create those and keep that
run game kind of you know, in the garage as
it were, and force this this Daniel Jones passing attack
(30:14):
into some third and lungs. I think Joshawins is their
best receiver. You heard JJ talk about it yesterday. Shifty
man cover beater, sinks the hips into the route, snaps
it off quickly. He's a good separator and I think
he could have a nice little day here against this
Dolphins secondary.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
He's kind of the guy that I'm most worried about.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Tyler Warren critical part of the running game, and then
we take away the downfield passing game. He is gonna
be the guy they want to get the ball to
on chips and leaks into the flat. So just make
sure you tackle. Miami's tackle was very good this preseason,
so I'm excited about that Quentin Nelson. They like to
pull him just follow fifty six of the football usually
want to run it behind him. So just keep an
eye on that guy and then if you're gonna leave,
you know, one man rushing Quentin Nelson and overwhelm gonsolv Gun,
(30:53):
Gonzalvez and Bordolini with you know, two and three guy accommodations.
I like the ability to match up that way as well,
so their overview, I mean, I like our ability to
win across face and back door their split flow inside
zone game and get Taylor to the ground instead of
some third and long situations and then overload the protections
with our blitz scheme. I think everything about this matchup
(31:13):
on this side comes down to our ability to beat
up on those two young interior guys with our loaded
group against the run in the past and forced Daniel
Jones in the situations that he has not excelled at
in his career, like third and medium to long. He
has a seventy seven passer rating. He has seven touchdowns
and no picks on or sorry, seven interceptions to no
touchdowns on third and ten plus and on third and
(31:35):
four to six. He's just got a six point four
yards per attempt on those plays, So nothing special about
this quarterback in the past, I think robbing their crossers
with various shells and mixed Tampa two drops like you
could see you know, Jones ripping one of those digs
on like a dagger concept where he doesn't see Minka
or Brooks or t Dot and he throws it right
to him.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I think you could see that. How they want to
play us.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I think they want to isolate one on one matchups
on the outside and look for a vacate safety help
to try to those vertical shots and manufactured the deep game.
If you can avoid giving up a lot on the
ground and the one on one kind of hell Mary shots,
I think you're gonna really shut this offense down. And
you can do that through rerouting and disrupting and just
wing at the catch point. They might try double moves
(32:16):
or you know, you know, count on failed gambles to
hit big plays, but I just think it's going to
be a slog for them to create those.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Big plays that way.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
As far as they're special teams, we've talked about, you know,
the Dolphins special teams, I should say we've talked about
the margins a lot. I discussed the opportunistic nature of
the defense on a couple of shows here and having
the net impact on the offense. Even if your yards
ranking is lower and you can generate, you know, takeaways,
then you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Be a better defense.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
I think that's what's on the docket for this season
for the Dolphins defense. As far as special teams, those margins,
if you go off Bob McGinn's like special teams rankings
every year, we haven't finished in the top twenty five
since like twenty with like twenty nineteen. If they just
get to middle of the pack, the way that can
swing this this team for a game or two would
be a big difference. Now, the biggest element in this
one is the absence of Jason Sanders. I don't really
(33:03):
have a take on it, but Jason was super reliable,
had good distance. And now there's a bit more of
an unknown element in Riley Patterson, but he does have
an eighty five point one career kicking percentage. As far
as more miscellaneous here, I think the Jim ers passing
is a big deal. I heard a story about how
the daughters jim Mersa's daughters, the now de facto owners
like stay on the coaching headsets throughout the course of
(33:25):
the game, and that's a strange situation. I saw a
postgame speech after a preseason game where Shane Stichin was
doing his thing and didn't really seem like it resonated
with the locker room. I saw a video of Daniel
Jones being named a captain and there was some clear
lack of cheers during that. I just think, man, this
(33:45):
is a rough to me. The Colts are going to
be picking in the top five next year and I
think Miami's pretty good. So that's kind of how I
view this game, right. I think there's a lot more
than just the personnel match. I think there's a lot
for the cults here behind the scenes that I think
what people are saying about the Dolphins might be true
of the Colts this year. What's at stake. You gotta
get out to a hot start, like you cannot lose
(34:06):
this game. Right If the Colts are who I think
they are and the Dolphins who I think they are,
you cannot lose this game. It just comes down to that.
My keys to victory fit the run game and Rob
crosses over the middle of the field, disrupt them on
those throws down the middle when Daniel Jones wants to
blind trust the concept and the scheme. If you can
rob those and get hands on footballs and you can
put them in third and long, you can get those
situations and take the ball away and make this game
(34:28):
a laugher win. Off the edge in the running game,
if you can find a way to create lack of
production from Stewart and Buckner and get off the edge
and force lot to and force Quitty pay into the
run game, that's gonna be a problem for them. If
you can hit explosives on early downs, I think you
know they're gonna blitz. You can beat it. Take them
out of it. With Reek and Waddle and Hm those
guys doing their thing. And my predictions for this game,
(34:49):
I think MIKEA. Fitzpatrick gets a pick in his first game.
I think you're gonna see Tyreek, Hill and Waddle combined
for one fifty and two in the game. I think
Jonathan Taylor stays parked like sixteen for like fifty eight
yards or something like that. And I think the Dolphins
win this game by three scores. That's my prediction for
the Dolphins. Week one game over the Colts. I'll put
a score on it. I'm gonna say thirty three to thirteen.
(35:11):
Dolphins win their opener and folks who are excited about it?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
And Welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. I am your host,
Travis Wingfield, and on today's show. Oh yeah, I've been
waiting on this episode for nine months.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I've been waiting all year for a week won It's
Colts Preview Day. You know the drill.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We're gonna tell you everything there is to know about
the matchup, from the personnel to the schemes and everything
in between. It's almost game day. I've got the most
comprehensive game preview podcast in the Dolphins content space. Dolphins
and Colts Week one, CBS one o'clock from the Baptist
Hell Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
This is the Draft Time Podcast. Maggie Daffey, Sir, So, I.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Wanted to change the look of the preview episodes this
year just a little bit. We've done that a couple
times over the past, but it's just always trying to find,
you know, the things that work the things that don't,
and I felt it became a teensy bit too formulaic
in the past, and we're still gonna hit the same notes,
but I want to present it in a little bit
more of a refreshed way for y'all. They kind of
(01:22):
get to the more important things first compared to just
going like a step by step. So that said, I'm
going to start the way we always do with an
introduction into the episode or into the opponent, I should
say for the episode the Indianapolis Colts, they are entering
the third year under head coach Shane Steichen, and they
are seventeen and seventeen in those two seasons eight and
(01:44):
nine one year, nine and eight the other year, and
they're honestly one dropped pass away from knocking the Houston
Texans out of the twenty twenty three playoffs, I should say,
and making the playoffs that you're with Gardner Minshew go kooks,
and honestly, I think we're starting to kind of knee.
You're the point where it's time to maybe think about
(02:04):
starting to kind of feel bad for Colts fans. But
then again, Efhelm because they're still an AFC East foe
to me, and they went from Peyton Manning to a
season where they tanked intentionally by signing Kerrie Collins that
year and going with was it Jim Sorgie, I forget
who it was, but doesn't matter because that was supposed
to be our year to get Andrew Luck, and then
(02:25):
Matt Moore won too many games, and they got Andrew
Luck and then went from Peyton Manning to one horrid
season to Andrew Luck for seven years. And although Andrew
Luck's career in Indianapolis fell woefully short of what it
should have been because he had all time great quarterback
ability and just everything about him was on that level,
but they didn't protect him for years. He got injured
(02:46):
a bunch of times and called it a career after
seven seasons. But to go from you know, nine straight
years of ten plus wins under Manning and more good
years beyond that, they had a weird like fall off
and one after big years from ninety nine to two
thousand and one, and to have one year out of that,
what eighteen year span of bad quarterback play like man Efhelm,
(03:08):
because like, we didn't have that for twenty years. And
if you go back in Colt's history, they've i mean
nine straight years double digit wins and quite frankly, there
was two of those nine seasons that were ten wins.
The rest were twelve twelve, fourteen, twelve, thirteen, twelve and fourteen,
the year between Manning and Luck, they were awful. Then
it was eleven wins for three years straight, like they
were spoiled for a very long time. Now more recently,
(03:32):
that's where you start to almost maybe kind of start
to thinking about maybe beginning to feel bad because it's
been an absolute struggle, and that is tied to the
converse of what they've enjoyed for so long.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's quarterback purgatory. And it looked like they might hop.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Off that hamster wheel briefly when they spent the fourth
overall pick in the twenty twenty two draft twenty three drafts.
Sorry on Anthony Richardson, but he loses the camp battle
to Daniel Jones, and now they'll go back to a
veteran and a cast off of another team, just like
they did for years before Anthony Richardson. When Luck retired,
(04:05):
it was Jacoby Brissett, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz and then
two years of ar with Menshugo, Koogs and Flacco filling
in and.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Now Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And throughout all of that was the dismissal of Frank
Right in place of the interim who was plucked from
an ESPN studio job in Jeff Sati Day, Yeah, higher Saturday,
and then'll do it. Chris Ballard enters his ninth season
in charge as the GM, and I think he's got
a pretty decent roster there with some good picks and additions.
But he'll be the first one to tell you the
(04:39):
quarterback carousel, it is tough to consistently win when you've
got that, and when you don't have stability at the
quarterback position. You can have really good rosters and you
can be not much. Look at the Jets the Zach
Wilson years there right like, they were loaded on defense,
had enough on offense, and just the quarterback made everything
not work, made the defense stay on the field too,
(05:00):
and by the time October rolled around, they were no
longer the good defense they were previously. So he's overseen them,
Chris Ballad, I should say overturn or turn that defensive
tackle position into a loaded one. With DeForest Buckner and
that first round pick they traded for him years ago,
and Grover Stewart was a nice fine in twenty twenty four.
His first round pick is a guy that's going to
dictate basically what they are. I think is a defense
(05:23):
this year off the edge in Laatu lot To and
I liked him a whole bunch coming out of college.
You heard a bunch about him on this podcast. And
if he's good, I think that entire pass Russ is
going to be good. If not, I don't think it's
going to be good. And they went hard after the
defensive backfield this year, which we'll talk about how that
pairs with new defensive coordinator lou and Roumo. And you
heard it on the podcast yesterday with JJ Stankovitz, which
(05:46):
kind of stole from the Thursday Thunder. He was very good,
That's why you get him on the podcast, but I'm
not used to getting that type of a breakdowns through
on the show. So JJ killed it for us. And
then on offense, there's a lot of continuity on that
staff with Jim Bob Cooter as the OC for Shane
Staking for the last now two plus into their third seasons,
they'll have to overcome two losses on the offensive line.
Matt Gonzalvez steps in for Will Fries and Ryan Kelly
(06:10):
is out and in his place is Tanner Bordolini at
the center position. They'll work in the second tight end
take it in this year's draft in Tyler Warren, and
I have to imagine that even with a pretty deep
wide receiver corp that doesn't really have a true bona
fide number one, that he'll be their second best option
beyond their best player on the entire team in Jonathan Taylor.
Let's go ahead and just break down their depth chart here,
(06:31):
real quick and real quick, off the top like depth charts.
If you're worried about Kenneth Grant being behind Bunnyito Jones,
just put a pin in it. We'll come back on
Monday and we'll talk about who plays forty five snaps
versus who plays twenty or whatever it is?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Okay, can we agree on that.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I'm sure you're gonna get a bunch of riled up
tweets from certain people that want to complain about Kenneth
Grant not being a starter. Just wait se many snaps
he plays on Sunday, then we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Okay. Cool.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So the Colt's depth chart, which I took this off
our lads. I'd rather use our lads in the team's
official depth charts because the teams aren't telling the truth.
To be honest with you, Mike McDaniel has said as
much as it's required for him to do it, and
he spends not much time on it. But you look
at the coltsier so Jones and Richardson at quarterback, Taylor
and Tyler Goodson are the running backs there, So if
JT were to get nicked up in miss time, it
(07:16):
kind of changes the entire operation of that offense. I
just think that it's going to be like an eighty
twenty percent workload there. And JT is the kind of
guy you want to give the football to. He works
in pass protection really well. He's a good pass catcher.
The offense goes through Jonathan Taylor, and it's kind of
a miracle that he's even still there to begin with
because that hold out slash trade situation a couple of
years ago, when him and the recently departed Rest in
(07:38):
Peace Jim Ursy had that training camp spat at receiver,
It's like, I like some of these guys, but no
one I'm in love with. And in fact, the guy
that listened his third here, I think is their best
receiver in Josh Downs. His ability to separate in short
spaces and create windows for the quarterback is going to
be to me, Daniel Jones's best friend in this game.
Michael Pittman's a big body who can kind of, you know,
(08:00):
take advantage of contested catch opportunities, take advantage of one
on one ops to the backside, and kind of catch
those X routes against smaller cornerbacks. So I'm curious to
see how Miami might match up against him. I do
think that that's probably a Storm Duck match up there
with Jackie Jones drawing Josh downs there, and we'll see
who starts between. You know, the depth chart for the
Dolphins right now is Jones and Duck, and that to
(08:22):
me is believable because of the performances of the preseason
and I have been telling you guys for a long
time I thought jack Jones was the best cornerback on
the team, and then Jason Marshall is very deep. So
who starts in the nickel position could kind of change
how this looks. With Rasul Douglas's three and Juju Brentz
at four behind that, with Marshall being fifth, I'm curious
(08:42):
to see how that might shake down on game day,
because to me, Pittman is an obvious matchup for duck
and downs is an obvious matchup for Jack Jones with
Jason Marshall playing inside for kind of a mixed match
on Donna Mitchell and Alec Piercepofels. Guys are vertical threats,
and I'm curious if the Dolphins will play a more
single this year. I think they will with a little
bit more man coverage and pressed up and kind of
(09:04):
getting in guys' faces and being more matchup oriented. With
the range on the back end that Ashton Davis displays,
and I think that his ability to play in this
game will dictate the type of coverage you can run.
If it's if e Mela fun, we will probably more
split field safety look. So I think the way they
match up and how they go with their man coverage
versus zone coverage could depend on the availability of Ashton
(09:27):
Davis come Sunday. At the tight end position, I think
you have to really be aware of Tyler Warren. Moiley
Cox is a blocking tight end that we did on
the Free Agent podcast, you know, the review of possible
available free agent tight ends, and he just didn't really
move the needle at all. So to me, Tyler Warren
is a key in the split flow run game. They're
inside zone game, and also as a potential security blanket
(09:50):
for Daniel Jones, who I fully expect everything to be
short for Jones, So Downs and Warren in that area
of the field are going to be critical. And the
best aspect of this offense is their offensive line paired
with Jonathan Taylor, even with the losses of Fries and Kelly,
like their tackles. Bernard Raymond and Braden Smith are really
good players. Left guard Quentin Nelson, you guys know who
(10:10):
he is. He's a really good player who's kind of
had a bit of a regression in the last couple
of years, but he's still a very good player. And
then of course Tanner Bordolini and Matt Gonsalves, which to me,
the key for the Dolphins defense against those guys is
to really heat them up in terms of their games.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
They can run.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I mean, this defense, we've been talking about it for months,
right It's calling card has to be the ability to
create pressure without the need to win matchups. But now
this year they should have the pieces to win those matchups.
I think if you can overwhelm those two guys with
you know, presentations that don't result in what they actually
are post snap with one on one wins against Ryman
(10:48):
and potentially Braden Smith for Chop for Bradley Chubb for
Jalen Phillips.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
That's the key here.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
If you can win enough those one on one matchups
off the edge with the confusion, I think you can
give those guys with Zach Steeler and Kenneth Grant on
the inside with a new quarterback and a new offense.
To me, that's where this defense really gets after the
Colts offense is taking advantage of the new quarterback, the
new two interior guys, and the fact that that quarterback
is kind of pop gunny, and if you can really
heat him up and pressure him that way, I think
(11:13):
you could hold this offense, really hold him down for
sixty minutes. Their defensive depth chart. We'll go ahead and
do this and close this like went up here. DeForest
Buckner and Grover Stewart kind of stir the drink in
the middle there. Buckner length can really disrupt you with displacement, pass, rush,
and run game. I think you have to prey consistently
find a way to get two guys on him. I
expect Aaron Brewer to kind of you know, get into
(11:34):
those pass pro looks and then scan left and probably
go back across the right and go help James Daniels
on DeForest Buckner and vice versa off the left side
with Jonas of vite Naya. But you gotta be aware
of Grover Stewart who can play that nose tackle position
and maybe that length and power for Aaron Brewer, who
is one of the best players on the team and
one of the best centers in the league. For my money,
I think the Colts do have a good matchup situation
there if it is going to be Brewer by himself,
(11:55):
which it probably won't be, And that's a good reason
why you do know, upgrade your side at those guard
positions for teams like this and to help brew against
bigger players. I'm not saying brew can't handle it, but
he's not a bigger center, right, He's a smaller center,
and when you can flank him with two bigger, powerful guards.
I like the way you can match up against a
team like this that has those two guys that can
really dent you with their size and their strength and
(12:16):
their length too, because DeForest Buckner is one of the
longest defensive tackles in the league off the edge, It's
just it's lacking the big name juice Quitty Pay hasn't
really popped the way he should. I feel like between
him and Layatu La too, Samson Ebukam and Taekwon Lewis,
those are all nice names. And the rookie JT Timola
Lalu whoops, didn't get that right. I think that for
(12:38):
the Dolphins' ability to game plan against edges with the
motions and the jet sweeps and the quick sets and
the jump sets the tackle position, not to mention the
fact that it is Austin Jackson and Patrick Paul. I
really like Miami's ability this week to keep the edge
pressure off of Tua and allow them to kind of
put bodies inside and pass pro from the running back
position with Scam protect inside and account for all the
(13:00):
fire zones they might throw on the interior and leave
the outside to one on one matchups that two can
then mitigate with his you know, processing and quick ball
and quick release get the ball out quickly, because I
just don't think there's a matchup issue off the edge
in any capacity here for the Colts against this Dolphins offense.
The linebacker position. I kind of feel like you can,
you know, put these guys into buying too. Camer mcgroener,
(13:22):
Cam mcgron, sorry, Zaire, Franklin and Joe Bashi are the Will,
the Mike and the Sam. But it's going to be
mostly Franklin on the field with mcgrone as well, because
it's more of a you know, four two five defense.
But I think that Franklin's ability as a rusher is
better going downhill in the blitz game, which we can
(13:42):
mitigate with Tua's quick release and you know, getting the
ball out hot to his hot receivers in the checkdown game,
in the screen game. And I think you can also
mitigate that with the running game because he is a
smaller player, and I think you can get some double
team combinations at the second level and move these guys
off the football. And then if you watch Franklin operate
backwards and robot technique where he's running vertical to cover
(14:02):
those middle of the field shots that two alecs to throw,
I don't think that's his bread and butter either, So
to me, they're gonna have to walk one of the
safeties up and consistently, you know, buzz the crossers and
that might open up downfield shots, which against a team
that wants to play as much man coverage as the
Colts do with Tarvarius Ward, with Jalen Jones and in
the slot Kenny Moore, a very good threesome of cornerbacks.
(14:23):
We'll see if they all go in the game. They've
all missed significant time and that's going to be a
key for us. Later on in the podcast here is
talking about going after cornerbacks in a new defense that
haven't practiced a lot together. If they have to get
into the depth, cool, We'll take those matchups as they come,
and if not, if it's man coverage, we'll go after
those guys and win against man coverage. That's what ty
you can wattill do for their entire career. And if
they play the zone coverages, then well, I think you
(14:45):
just consistently, you know, spam certain areas of the field
and wait for the breakdowns to happen, because I think
it can on this particular part of the defense. And
then the safety that I'm the concerns me the most,
the player on defense that concerns me the most, more
than as much as DeForest Buckner, cambind them. He is
kind of a straw that stirs the drink on the
back end. To borrow that phrase for a second time,
but his ability to kind of fly all over the
(15:07):
football field and just make plays as a blitzer and
in coverage, he can kind of make a lot of
things right in that loot and a remo defense, And
I think he is the kind of string that tethers
all that together. And I think Miami has to just
be privy of where Cambinam is at all times. So
that's the depth chart and the introduction to the team
and kind of a look at their personnel. Let's go
ahead and pause, come back and talk about offensive and
defensive schematics. We're going to talk about what's at stake,
(15:29):
how to game plan this thing or overview special teams
and miscellaneous, how they might play against US Keys to victory.
Busy Busy podcast Plady to come here at draft time,
brought to you by AutoNation picking it back up here
on a Thursday, the first game preview podcast of the
new season. We got football tonight. We picked the two
(15:51):
games already on yesterday's show. We took the Eagles and
the Chiefs to beat the Cowboys and Chargers in the
Thursday and Friday game. Bring me more NFL Friday games forever, please,
I love it. Week one last year was fun. Week
one this year going to be an absolute blast. I
wish we had more of that because quite frankly, I
don't go to a high school football game, so more
(16:13):
NFL would be swift. Bro Let's talk about some schematics
here and what it might look like in terms of
how the Colts want to play this when it comes
to Dolphins offense versus the Colts defense. So some of
the scheme calling cards of the Colts defense under new
DC lou and Aarumo who was here before.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
He was with the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He was there for that Bengals magic carpet Rides Super
Bowl run when they had veteran Leyden talent all over
the defense. Now, I guess one aspect that I've kind
of talked about in terms of the lack of continuity,
a new coach, a new system here, I suppose you
could say that they had the same thing in Cincinnati
in twenty one when they signed a whole bunch of
free agency that defense, and it clicked for them. I
(16:53):
guess not right, away, But by the end of the
year they were playing at a very very high level.
And then they had a talent bleed since and lost
a bunch of those pieces, and the defense wasn't the
same because you have to be smart, you have to
be on your rules, and it's because there's a lot
of versatility and flexibility and pre snap presentations. And you've
heard coach Weaver talk about this, how it took them,
you know, a few weeks into the season last year
(17:15):
before it became second nature for them, and he had
to teach the coaches to how to you know, how
to teach it, how to coach it, how to how
to address certain things and how to make corrections. Well,
I don't expect the Colts to have that figured out
right away. So my thought is, if you can, you know,
talk about continuity on either side of the football, that
should be an area the Dolphins have the advantage in
(17:35):
now as far as what they want to be from
lou An Ariumo's past, and I think the signings would
indicate that they're not trying to change anything based upon
what is you know, kind of his calling card. They're
going to blitch you a lot on first down that's
fire zone. From that first down, try to create a negative,
try to create a situation where they have to you know,
they can kind of play passive and let you take
a small gain and stay into third and medium DeLong
(17:57):
and then go man coverage with some more exotic blook.
Blitz looks that way, but lots of blitz is on
first down. But is that not like Tua's bread and butter.
I mean, see the blitz, replace the the blitzer with
the football, and let's just go from there and keep
taking those checkdowns and short passes like that's the game nowadays.
I'm sure you guys watch college football. In Week one,
all those games were played within ten yards of the
(18:19):
line of scrimmage, right, and there were some low scoring
games Texas, Ohio State, you know, LSU and Clemson, Miami
nor Daan was low scoring towards the very end. That's
how the game is nowadays. Man explosives are kind of
going away in defense. The pendulum has swung back that way.
So for Miami and what two was able to accomplish
last year in terms of being that proficient on time,
on schedule quarterback absent the big playability down the field,
(18:42):
I think we got to see a combination of those
two things, and against this defense, if they are going
to blitz you and you can find a chan for
your quick beater, you can find Malik Washington, who kind of,
you know, fulfills some part of a role that John
news Smith fulfilled last year, right in terms of being
an immediate quick separator that can make a catch and
make guys miss. And Nick Westbrookokine kind of falls in
to that. So I think Tua has options. I think
(19:02):
when they blitz and they have to rotate, I think
if you just stay patient and keep taking the profit
there that eventually they're gonna bust, they're gonna miss a tackle,
and you're gonna get a long play. In this game,
That's kind of how I see it going. They're gonna
play the run on the way to the quarterback, which
to me, you can that's a gamble, man. If you
don't hit that, if you don't fit it right, if
you miss a tackle on Davon h Chan, he can
get out the gate and you can have a one
(19:23):
on one for a safety for a you know, a
twenty yard play or a seventy yard touchdown. And I
just feel like our ability to move guys off the football.
Having most of this offensive line and their continuity through
the first last five weeks together sans Austin Jackson, who's,
you know, the longest tenured guy here, So it's like
maybe that there's if there's one guy to miss some time,
it is him. I feel like the Dolphins can can
(19:45):
create some surge in the running game and get these
guys off the football and run them wide and tire
out those big bodies on the inside and force them
to go into that depth because I think that front
seven as much as I like some of the front
line guys, you get a little bit into that depth,
it starts to get thin there pretty quick. A couple
of numbers here, Brian Flores, de Spagnolo and lou and
Arumo are the only guys with forty percent of their
(20:05):
fire zone being off quarters. What does that mean? Quarters
is basically a four high coverage, right, it's cover four.
It's you know, four birds on a fence, four birds
in a post. However you want to call that four
guys at the sticks and they can. You know, you
kind of have to either like win a bracket vertical
like you've seen Tyreek do against the Eagles back in
twenty three, had a long touchdown against the Patriots that
(20:26):
year as well. I believe you can either run them
out of it that way or continue to take short
stuff and try to just basically nickel and dime them,
because if they're going to play that, you have to
run the ball and take short passing stuff, soft zones
on second and down, try to get ahead on second
and down, and then third down they're gonna flip to
heavy man coverage, which is where the Travarious Ward signing
comes into play. He is one of the stickiest man
cover corners, but he had a bit of a weird
(20:48):
year last year in San Francisco with some injuries and
had the loss of his daughter, which sucks. Like I
don't want to, you know, talk about any of the
impact that had in football, but I'm sure it did,
because that's just one of those things where it's like, Okay,
I don't I'm not going to celebrate that. But he's
got a big contract looking to come back, and he's
kind of close to that, you know that age thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Cliff.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I'm curious if he travels, does he who's the cover
between Reek and Waddle I hope it's Reek, because I
think Wattle can be the guy that could eat against
the rest of this group here. And in terms of
Jalen Jones and maybe even Xavier Howard if he plays
in this game, but beyond Kenny Moore, who in the slot.
To me, that's kind of the Colt's best matchup here
is Kenny Morris is Leak Washington because he's so athletic
and sticky and can play type man covers and fit
(21:28):
the run like Kenny Moore is as a guy that
if they do draw that matchup, I'm happy to have
that because I think he's their best cover guy and
I like Malik, but you know, I'd rather have the
ball going ten seventeen. So fire zones early soft on
second down and then third down man coverage with some
you know Cover one and possibly some blitzer is in
there as well, and the guys to really keep an
eye out for. To Forest Buckner and Grover Stewart, we
(21:50):
talked about their length and ability to impact the offense
in terms of how they can push you back. I
mentioned Kenny Moore against Malak Washington. Watch him on blitzes
kind of you know, showing man belling out in zone
jump a short route, so to it has to be
very privy to where Kenny Moore is at all times.
Zaire Franklin's a Pro Bowl player, but I think that
he's a guy you can go after on this defense
in terms of how the Dolphins offense matches up against them,
(22:11):
whether it's you know, in zone coverage, dropping and dropping
back in the middle of the field, whether he's coming
on the blitz and you know, taking advantage of his
blitz and throwing the ball behind his ear hole, and
then Cam bind him as of Brian Flores satellite man.
That system and him makes so much sense. I'm really
curious to see how the Dolphins match up with his
with pass protecting against Cam Binam because I don't love
(22:32):
Devon Ahen in that role. But if he's going to
blitz the running back and Devon can you know, chip
and get out into the passing numbers, then I do
like that role all of a sudden. So those are
the guys then Tarvariuschwartz their third down man, cover guy.
The overview here the guys they added for lou and
every will make a ton of sense. He puts so
much on his players in a mental workload and physical
aspect of the game. And when they had that in Cincinnati,
(22:55):
they were just awesome. But then they had that talent
bleed and replaced it with rookies an unproven guy. So
my question is, you had so many guys absent throughout
camp with Ward and Moore and Johnson all missing time
in August, So how well will it be connected in
their first go round of the season against an offense
that has, you know, four years of continuity you're in
year four versus a day one team they also had
(23:16):
last year. This is just some more stats for you.
They had the fewest sacks in two and a half
seconds or less. They had thirteen and a half of those,
which is like schemed up pressures, right, But when they won,
it was in that two and a half to three
second mark period, which is like where four man rushes
do actually win. But that's not how the scheme works.
So I'm really curious to see how the front seven jives
with this new scheme, how they might play US. I
(23:38):
think they'll look at the key to beating us being
to reroute at the line of scrimmage, paired with timely
blitzes and sim pressures on first down, Blitzer on the
way to the run. If we can id vacancies and
or run the football, it takes that whole plan out
of the window. So from Miami, I look to come
out and have a good game plan that attacks this
defense and gets them on their back foot and just
keeps going after them all games along that way.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I think Miami can score in this game.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
This might be a good Colts defense, but I really
think the Dolphins can take it to him here in
this first game and post a lot of points in
this one. They're going to want to create protection breakdowns
and make to a think and double clutch to his
initial or secondary reid. If twa handles all that employs
a clean game doesn't turn the ball over, I think
Miami's going to score points and really do well in
this game. Let's go ahead and take our last break
(24:22):
rate there, come back and do the Dolphins defense versus
the Colts offense. I've also got what's at stake here,
how they might play us special teams and miscellaneous keys
a victory plenty more to come here on this Thursday,
Week one preview edition of the Draft Time Podcast, brought
to you by Auto Nation. When the Dolphins defense takes
the field against Dan Jones and the Colts offense, some
(24:44):
of those calling cards offensively for the Colts, they want
to run to set up everything else in their offense.
The entire thing runs through Jonathan Taylor, And quite frankly,
that's why I was far more worried about Anthony Richardson
at quarterback. And I thought JJ made a bunch of
great points about staying on schedule and being you know,
I guess, just playing like layup football. I get where
(25:05):
he's coming from from that standpoint, but also like, if
that's how you have to play it, and that's the
quarterback you want, I mean, quarterbacks have to be difference makers,
right like you gotta be the one that drives the offense.
And it sounds like they're trying to play just conservative
football and run the ball and keep the game close
with defense, and I just don't think that works, even
in an era where the defensive pendulum swings back in
(25:27):
favor of the defense compared to the offensive explosion we
had there for like ten fifteen years. But they want
to run everything through Jonathan Taylor. They want to get
to their multiple verticals, their four vert sets from various
packages with vertical spacing and second level displacement off of
play play pass. They have a lot of these slow
developing zone beaters where it's like double moves from stacks
(25:48):
to kind of test your rules. We saw it in
the Detroit game. And this is why I like preseason football. Man,
you can learn from preseason football. That touchdown pass the
Lions had to was it teslaw, was it a different one?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I forget who it was.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
But when they had the total bus right and weaves
like they had a banjo beater, we didn't banjo it correctly,
which is you know, first in, first in, second out,
second out, and the Dolphins busted it and they got
a touch on out of it. They're gonna try that
kind of stuff from those stacks, those tight formations. Everything
is set up to attack levels off the run game.
If you stop their running game, you should really be
able to dominate this Colts offense. And when they do
(26:21):
get to their running game, it's bread and butter split zone.
And what that means is a tight end from the
front side of the formation comes across the backside of
the formation and kicks out the back edge defender and
we saw Miami get pretty aggressive with those backside sea
gap defenders in the run game in preseason. That's a
Jason Marshall role. So you're gonna see lots of Tyler
Warren cracking back on Jason Marshall. But if you get
(26:42):
that kickout, that means you're getting an edge or a
safety cracking down against the run game there. So that's
why I like Marshall's role. If he is that guy
comes Sunday, we'll find out. We're not gonna know until
game day who's gonna who that's gonna be, or it's
gonna be a rotation, like we'll find out, but we're.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Not there yet.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
But if you can kick out Tyler Warren, if you
can hold him in there on the running game, then
it becomes a lot less dangerous across the entire offense,
and especially when you only have Daniel Jones and for
Anthony Richardson, because like in the red zone, you know,
Daniel Jones was like Ryan Tannehill's a running right. You
give him to space, he can get there quickly because
he has these long strides, but he's not going to
make guys miss. He's not going to be a red
(27:18):
zone three, he's not going to push piles the way
Ar is. And to me, like I was more scared
of Richardson because I think that he would give them
a chance to score touchdowns down on the red zone
where the Colts might be able to drive the ball
here a little bit. But I don't think they're going
to have a lot of success scored in the red
zone because I think we can load up against the
run and really forced Daniel Jones to make quick decisions
and throw tight windows, and I think you'll get some
(27:38):
red zone hands on footballs, and you'll get some lack
of continuity in the Colts passing game down in that area.
So they might score, might drive the field a couple times,
but I don't think they're going to have a lot
of red zone success in this game. And they had
under Anthony Richardson unfurled this RPO game as a bit
of a counter off that split zone action, but that
was aar And again, Jones is an okay athlete, but
(27:59):
he's not going to beat Robinson or Willie Gay on
a foot race of the corner. They also have a
little bit of a wham trap variation they run where
it's a counter off that split zone action with a
tight end or the edge offensive player comes across the
formation and rather than kicking all the way out, they'll
let like Kenneth Grant or Zach Seeler, they'll just turn
him loose like it's a screen, but they're gonna wham him,
(28:20):
which means that tight end comes across and tries to
whack him.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So I think that if they try that.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I do like both Zach and Kenny's ability to play
with their gap integrity and play within the structure of
the defense and just go flat out be like you're
gonna block me the tight end like good luck on that.
They also have this really cool look that I quite
like in their offense where they get to these vertical
clearouts often from trips to throw off of these like
bunched stems where you have multiple guys in the same
(28:45):
area of the field, but it requires the quarterback to
read it out quickly. And with how our defense plays
and what I think of Daniel Jones as an ability to,
you know, play on time, I think there's an ability
to put hands on receivers here and disrupt the footwork
in the time and get them off those vertical stems
in the same vicinity and cause pile ups and have
the ball going into these collection of Dolphins and Colts
(29:07):
players and hey man, tips and overthrows can change games.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I think you're gonna see some of that in this game.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I think you're gonna see balls into like a bunch
receiver set with which is two receivers and two defensive
players right in that same vicinity, and they're gonna try
to run something tricky where it's a clearout and a
stem off of that clear out, and if we can
disrupt it, or if they're not on time, they trip
up and they wind up in the same area of
the field. Here comes the football and there's a hand
of the ball and goes straight up in the air
(29:32):
and Hoop catches it. From there is like, you know,
how the game is decided, and like the defense gets
their hands on one of those, the game could be over.
So I think Miami's ability to put hands on footballs
in this game is gonna be key. I think you're
gonna see tkeaways right away from this defense that we
talked about all week long is the goal here is
to get more takeaways. Right the guys to game plan
for you know who they are, Jonathan Taylor. His patience
(29:54):
to power getting clear gaps makes them a home run threat,
like all the time. You need to clog them up
on these Dow inside zone schemes to keep the backers free,
and I think we can do that. Between Jordan Brooks
and Tyrol Dotson, getting free runs against Taylor is a key,
and I think we can create those and keep that
run game kind of you know, in the garage as
it were, and force this this Daniel Jones passing attack
(30:14):
into some third and lungs. I think Joshawins is their
best receiver. You heard JJ talk about it yesterday. Shifty
man cover beater, sinks the hips into the route, snaps
it off quickly. He's a good separator and I think
he could have a nice little day here against this
Dolphins secondary.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
He's kind of the guy that I'm most worried about.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Tyler Warren critical part of the running game, and then
we take away the downfield passing game. He is gonna
be the guy they want to get the ball to
on chips and leaks into the flat. So just make
sure you tackle. Miami's tackle was very good this preseason,
so I'm excited about that Quentin Nelson. They like to
pull him just follow fifty six of the football usually
want to run it behind him. So just keep an
eye on that guy and then if you're gonna leave,
you know, one man rushing Quentin Nelson and overwhelm gonsolv Gun,
(30:53):
Gonzalvez and Bordolini with you know, two and three guy accommodations.
I like the ability to match up that way as well,
so their overview, I mean, I like our ability to
win across face and back door their split flow inside
zone game and get Taylor to the ground instead of
some third and long situations and then overload the protections
with our blitz scheme. I think everything about this matchup
(31:13):
on this side comes down to our ability to beat
up on those two young interior guys with our loaded
group against the run in the past and forced Daniel
Jones in the situations that he has not excelled at
in his career, like third and medium to long. He
has a seventy seven passer rating. He has seven touchdowns
and no picks on or sorry, seven interceptions to no
touchdowns on third and ten plus and on third and
(31:35):
four to six. He's just got a six point four
yards per attempt on those plays, So nothing special about
this quarterback in the past, I think robbing their crossers
with various shells and mixed Tampa two drops like you
could see you know, Jones ripping one of those digs
on like a dagger concept where he doesn't see Minka
or Brooks or t Dot and he throws it right
to him.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I think you could see that. How they want to
play us.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I think they want to isolate one on one matchups
on the outside and look for a vacate safety help
to try to those vertical shots and manufactured the deep game.
If you can avoid giving up a lot on the
ground and the one on one kind of hell Mary shots,
I think you're gonna really shut this offense down. And
you can do that through rerouting and disrupting and just
wing at the catch point. They might try double moves
(32:16):
or you know, you know, count on failed gambles to
hit big plays, but I just think it's going to
be a slog for them to create those.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Big plays that way.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
As far as they're special teams, we've talked about, you know,
the Dolphins special teams, I should say we've talked about
the margins a lot. I discussed the opportunistic nature of
the defense on a couple of shows here and having
the net impact on the offense. Even if your yards
ranking is lower and you can generate, you know, takeaways,
then you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Be a better defense.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
I think that's what's on the docket for this season
for the Dolphins defense. As far as special teams, those margins,
if you go off Bob McGinn's like special teams rankings
every year, we haven't finished in the top twenty five
since like twenty with like twenty nineteen. If they just
get to middle of the pack, the way that can
swing this this team for a game or two would
be a big difference. Now, the biggest element in this
one is the absence of Jason Sanders. I don't really
(33:03):
have a take on it, but Jason was super reliable,
had good distance. And now there's a bit more of
an unknown element in Riley Patterson, but he does have
an eighty five point one career kicking percentage. As far
as more miscellaneous here, I think the Jim ers passing
is a big deal. I heard a story about how
the daughters jim Mersa's daughters, the now de facto owners
like stay on the coaching headsets throughout the course of
(33:25):
the game, and that's a strange situation. I saw a
postgame speech after a preseason game where Shane Stichin was
doing his thing and didn't really seem like it resonated
with the locker room. I saw a video of Daniel
Jones being named a captain and there was some clear
lack of cheers during that. I just think, man, this
(33:45):
is a rough to me. The Colts are going to
be picking in the top five next year and I
think Miami's pretty good. So that's kind of how I
view this game, right. I think there's a lot more
than just the personnel match. I think there's a lot
for the cults here behind the scenes that I think
what people are saying about the Dolphins might be true
of the Colts this year. What's at stake. You gotta
get out to a hot start, like you cannot lose
(34:06):
this game. Right If the Colts are who I think
they are and the Dolphins who I think they are,
you cannot lose this game. It just comes down to that.
My keys to victory fit the run game and Rob
crosses over the middle of the field, disrupt them on
those throws down the middle when Daniel Jones wants to
blind trust the concept and the scheme. If you can
rob those and get hands on footballs and you can
put them in third and long, you can get those
situations and take the ball away and make this game
(34:28):
a laugher win. Off the edge in the running game,
if you can find a way to create lack of
production from Stewart and Buckner and get off the edge
and force lot to and force Quitty pay into the
run game, that's gonna be a problem for them. If
you can hit explosives on early downs, I think you
know they're gonna blitz. You can beat it. Take them
out of it. With Reek and Waddle and Hm those
guys doing their thing. And my predictions for this game,
(34:49):
I think MIKEA. Fitzpatrick gets a pick in his first game.
I think you're gonna see Tyreek, Hill and Waddle combined
for one fifty and two in the game. I think
Jonathan Taylor stays parked like sixteen for like fifty eight
yards or something like that. And I think the Dolphins
win this game by three scores. That's my prediction for
the Dolphins. Week one game over the Colts. I'll put
a score on it. I'm gonna say thirty three to thirteen.
(35:11):
Dolphins win their opener and folks who are excited about it?
