This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What is up Dolphins and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.
I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
the Dolphins come all the way back from down thirteen
in the fourth quarter with forty six seconds to go,
but the Chargers answer with a field goal drive to
get the win. Twenty nine twenty seven of Miami falls
to one and five on the season. You guys know
the drill game recap in summary, biggest storylines, themes, checklists, games, standouts, takeaways,
(00:36):
all of that and more from the Baptist Health Studios
inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Draft
Time Podcast. As for the game itself, it was a
script that was kind of what we've seen this entire season.
Right close in most of these games, but at the
end can't make enough plays to find the win in
(00:56):
this one. In the game had a lead taking away
some of the stuff Chargers are known for, a couple
of missed opportunities early on in penalties, stunt, the ability
to stretch the lead out in that first half, Chargers
hang around and they pounce back in a big way.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
In the third quarter.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
The Dolphins crawl back into it with two consecutive touchdowns
sandwiched around a defensive stop on a drive that lasted
just four plays, but the Chargers pull it out late
thanks to their own playmaking, but also some missed opportunities
by the Miami Dolphins in all three phases of the game.
That's the fourth of six games that came down to
the very end of it, and Miami in those games
(01:32):
is now zero to four.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And look, you are what your record says you are right.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
This is a game in the league that comes down
to these types of plays and situations pretty much week
in and week out, especially now in twenty twenty five.
It used to be a little bit more like games
could get and could turn to runaways and be blowouts.
And there are those games still across the National Football League.
But the way the league has gotten these kickoff rules
into a position where you need two first downs to
(01:56):
kick a game winning field goal at the end, the
way coverages have taken way the long ball for the
most part, it's gonna make games come down to how
well can you grind out the running game, how good
can your defense play, how good can you be situationally?
And for the Miami Dolphins, in all three of those areas.
They have wound up short. In the four games this
year that have been or not run away close losses,
(02:17):
I should say Miami has one runaway victory of their
own and one loss that went in the other direction,
a runaway waiting for the Colts in that game. So
you just had breakdowns and you know, every element of
every phase in that third quarter and in the fourth
the end of the fourth quarter there, I want to
get to it all, but they started getting kind of
whatever they wanted in the second half of the game.
(02:38):
The Chargers did the quick game, the adjustments off of
the first half. Herbert had a good stat line. Two
was missing some things, the protection breakdowns offensively for the Dolphins,
forcing it to one player, you know, kind of that
eight chan drive that kind of got things stuck in
the mud there a little bit. It was a tough
showing in that third quarter, but the Dolphins bounce back
in a big way and kind of shows you some
fight in some life that maybe gave you some hope
(03:00):
going forward here as a comeback victory much like the
one you thought you had against the Patriots, and maybe
trying to stave off the one against the Panthers, and
much like the one you had against the Buffalo Bills.
This season could be a lot different, but it's not.
And they got back into this one with a touchdown
drive with eight minutes to play to cut the lead
down to six. And how would the defense and offense
(03:20):
respond is what I was writing down on my notes
here on the ensuing drives, because again, we've been in
this position a few times in the past, right, how
can they find a way to either find the winning
plays or how can the opposition find the way to
find their own winning plays? And it looked like Miami
in this one, but the Chargers wind up taking it
back in the other direction after the defense got the
(03:42):
ball back immediately after that touchdown drive. It's like eight
minutes to go in the game. You have to get
a stop and a touchdown and probably a stop on
the back side success four plays. The Charger got a
first down on the first play of that drive, but
then go three and out and Miami gets the ball
right back and the offense marches down the field for
probably their best drive of the entire game, but the
Chargers again take it back. Forty six seconds left in
(04:03):
the game. Herbert has is in the grasp of our
pass rushers twice and watching that back if they if
Jalen Phillips dumps Herbert on that play, it's gonna be
third and seventeen with thirty seconds to play in the
game and no timeouts left, which means they're either gonna
have to convert a first down and if they come
up short of the sticks on third down, they're then
(04:23):
gonna have to hurry up and run a quick play,
get the first down, get back to the line scrimmage,
and kill the clock.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Could they have done that, I'm not sure if they
could have. If you get the if you don't.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Go out of bounds on the Moleague Washington play, that
changes the equation entirely there as well. But that's not
what happened. And they get the ball of Laddi mcconkeye.
He races into field goal range and the Chargers split
the uprights there pretty much as time expires. Tua did
throw a pick on the latter role play, his third
of the day, so there was another play in the
game after that, But the Dolphins got their fourth chance
(04:55):
offensively to post a comeback, and they got it, but
they left forty five seconds left in the big kick
return and inability to finish two sacks at the end
ultimately does the Dolphins in. But like here you go,
like the Malake Washington play right, if he's tackled inbounds
on that play, the Chargers use their last time out
and then you get a big kickoff return out to
(05:16):
the forty one yard line.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Then the two failed sacks.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
That was three plays on all three phases of your team,
where if you make any one of them, you probably
win the game. If that drive starts at the twenty
yard line, if you get a good kickoff coverage play,
you probably.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Win the game.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
If ma Lake just stays inbounds on that play, you
probably win the game. If we get one of those sacks,
you probably win the game. And what I really want
to know is where your heads are at as a
fan base, because I've been over this on the show,
and you know, the toughness of these losses has the
more you get, they almost start to callus you a
(05:51):
little bit. But I'm curious where your heads are at
because I get the frustrations. I know a lot of
you are probably really upset and have been since week one,
but even at one in five.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I want to be very careful about how I say this,
because I don't want to come off saying like it's
gonna be sunshine to rainbows, everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm not saying that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But what I am saying is the reason they're in
these games late down the stretch, despite you know, situational
failures or inability to communicate certain aspects or whether it
was what Tuus had after the game with you know,
players and coach staying after the game with players not
you know, showing up to the player only meetings and
stuff like that. That's where the games are being lost,
(06:33):
right because you have talent across this football team. You
have Waddle going for ninety eight yards once again, you
have eight Chan going for one hundred and twenty eight yards.
You have you know, Jalen Phillips is all over the
quarterback today and Minka Fitzpatrick played a really good game.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Jordan Brooks is all over the field.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Aaron Brewer made a bunch of key blocks, like, there's
players on this roster that put you in these positions.
And from that aspect, I don't think you're that far away.
But none of that matters in this league until you
can close out football games and you have the right
mindset to be able to do that. And that's what
they have to find closers and guys that can lead
(07:07):
from the front and be able to put these things away.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And like, that's that's the game.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I get that side, But man, they could so easily
be three and three or even four and two, And
I wonder how much that would change fans sentiment if
they were just three and three, if they just held
off the Panthers last week and beat the Chargers this week,
how much would that change the perception of the football team,
because so much of what we think in media and
fans is so drastically swung by the end result of
(07:32):
the game, which again bottom line business, seventeen games. All
that stuff is true, but there is so much work
and equity and things that go into the rest of
the game and the other one hundred and twenty plays
in the game, and the other six days of the week,
and the preparation that goes into it. There's so much
that goes on the lead to that result that I
wonder if those two wins would change the sentiment and
(07:53):
the way you feel about things compared to being one
and five. I really wish we could step into the
AI machine or the alternate reality machine and just see
what that experience is like. For multitude of reasons, right
I want I would love to be three and three.
I would I would be kind of on cloud NYE
right now if the Dolphins were three and three and
right back in the thick of things in an AFC
that I don't think is that runaway this year, and
you could be right in the mix to you know,
(08:14):
make some noise, but you're not.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You're one and five.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And that's how that happened because of a lot of
the same you know, critical things happening against the Dolphins
and critical moments as has been the case in the
other close games this year. And look just for posterity,
like they get paid to, right, the Chargers get paid to.
And they made the plays when they had to Mconkeye,
Herbert Dicker, the defenders that got Malik out of bounds,
all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
They made their plays too.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So it's not just the Dolphins doing you know, things
to cost themselves.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The Chargers made plays as well.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
The pregame checklist, they were coming out hot and checking
the boxes on these things, they didn't all go their way.
I had four today the Chargers offensive line, running back situation,
run game situation. If you can keep them in third
and long and then get to that spot, can you
generate pressure from that spot.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So it was a two part thing.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Win against the run, take it of ress situations, and
early on they dominated in that capacity. They got the
one big run that worked because of a really well
timed call against the inside blitz and they got the
ball around the corner. I think it was in the
first quarter of the game. But other than that, Miami
kind of set the tempo and set the tone on
the line of scrimmage on the defensive side of the ball,
and they got after Justin Herbert. But again, I mean
(09:19):
Bobby Heart started the game at right tackle and Austin
decklisstarted the game at left tackle. That's a pretty difficult
circumstance to overcome. The Chargers did in this game. But Miami,
at least, I thought, you know, performed against the group
that they should have performed against, and they would adjust
and they wound up completing eleven straight balls at one
point in this game with the Chargers. But as far
as like those elements of the game and taking it
to him early on. I'm going to give Miami a
(09:40):
check for that part of the thing. Conversely, can we
run the ball? The Chargers consistently play light boxes, right
we talked about in the pregame show. They had to
shawan hand down in this game. They play from you know,
five and six man boxes against your heavy personnel. For
Miami to win this game, they had to win the
trenches on both sides, and devon a Chant ran for
one hundred and twenty eight yards, had a fifty yard
touchdown run, and a couple of other chunk plays in
(10:01):
the game as well, But by and large, the Chargers
did kind of bounce back after that one big play.
It was fifteen for seventy otherwise for Devaughan, which is
a good game. You can't take away the one big
play and say that's how the game went. But I
don't think it was good enough for what this it
needed to be against this Chargers defense that you know,
that's kind of how you get him, right, And I
think the Dolphins did a good job of, you know,
(10:24):
getting enough of that to create other situations to attack
this defense in the proper way. But I'm gonna put
an X on that because it didn't quite sustain itself
for sixty minutes enough to win this football game. And
then number three was two of protecting the football against
the complex jesse Mentor scheme. The first play of the
game was a pick, although it was not his fault,
Waddle just dropped it right into the.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Right into the defense's hands.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
He threw into a spot on one that was taken
away with what looked like a predetermined decision, but hasn't
you know, didn't really put the ball in harm's way
outside of that until his pick in the second half
to start the second half again right, and this at
ten to nine, I wrote if they if they protect
the ball the rest of the way, I think they'll
win this game. And then they had the pick to
start the second half and then the last pick. I
don't really that's who cares like That play doesn't even
(11:08):
register for me, but that turned the game on its head.
From that point they needed to match the Chargers in
the next drive and then turned it over immediately. And
that was an X for me because three takeaways, that's
not how you're going to beat this Chargers team. If
they dolphin said zero giveaways. Today they probably win this
football game. And then the fourth one continued evolution of
the offense. Another game removed from Tyreek Hill. What does
it look like? The run game was rolling early, but
(11:28):
there was a lot of empty and outside run game.
There wasn't the inside zone. Alli Gordon got two carries.
It worked for the most part between flags and drops
and miss throws and kind of got pigeonholed into a
certain type of game in the second half. I'm going
to go no on that one as well. One for
four on the pregame checklist. As far as the game themes,
I wrote this down it takes eleven because the first
two drives were a case of one mistake collapsing the operation.
(11:51):
Play play by play really like the wattle dropped for
a pick. Two of misses a wide open waller on
that over. On the second drive of the game, Julian
Hill misses a block on third down. Now on the
touchdown you get eleven on eleven execution Larry Borim and
Julian Hill, big seals, Cole Strange, the kick out block,
Aaron Brewer, a critical climb and displacement at the second level,
and then it was all devon eight Chan's speed to
(12:12):
the crib.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
That was the case for the Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
When it worked, it was one or two guys breaking
down it, or when it worked it when it didn't work,
it was that.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
When it did work, it was all eleven.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Guys getting after which is kind of the theme for
this Dolphins team for not just this year, going back
several years now. Number two was fourteen the Dolphins or
the Chargers rather into max protection on the drive after
the Riley Patrison field goal to open the game, they
threw a twenty one yard crosser to lad Maconkeye with
max protection. They had doubles in the tackles. They squeezed
(12:42):
the inside to the interior two. Then they did it
again the next couple of plays, and that seemed like
it would be the way forward for this Chargers front
that was so banged up, to mitigate their protection issues
and try to go after the receiver dB matchups where
I felt they had the advantage in that area of
the field compared to in the front seven, where they
did not, which speaks to their injury situation. But late
(13:02):
in the first half it became a false start fest
because they couldn't run that type of approach in two
minute offense and you wind up getting two Bobby heart
Fall starts. Now again, you're never gonna see a tackle
tandem like this again. Probably that was probably OT five
and six for the Chargers, but good for the Dolphins
for taking advantage of it on their opening drive of
the second half. They were able to get enough run
and quick game going to stay in third manageable and
(13:25):
convert on third and short three times, including the touchdown there.
So that was the theme of the game, the Chargers
adjusting there as the Dolphins didn't quite make the same
adjustments as the Chargers did.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Dolphins winning the point of.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Attack, creating explosive runs and sitting up the play action
game in the offensive side of the football tow it
hits waddle on that dig for nineteen yards out of
a quick play action setup.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
They went to it a few times.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I think eight chance fifty yard touchdown run kind of
changed the complexion of this game. And that's what he
can do. And we saw them get back to it
a few times as the Chargers, you know, snuck defenders
in tight to the line of scrimmage, which for the
run game that tracks, but it also cohenc with our
preview podcast talking about their propensity to you know, make
their sim pressure guys engage the offensive line and they
(14:08):
want to confuse your protection, touch you, so you have
to pick them up and think that they're coming, then
you back out and that confuses the protection that way,
And we saw the offensive line get beat a few
times on those looks.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
But it was a theme in this one.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
The Dolphins were able to get away from it early,
or get the Chargers away from it early. It compounded
in the third quarter and then the Dolphins found their
way back in the fourth course. So it was a
big win for the Dolphins in that regard. We'll get
to this, but I talked about the adjustments a tail
of two halves, right. The Chargers piled up seventeen points
on three drives to start the second half. The Chargers
had one hundred and seventy one yards of offense and
(14:40):
the Dolphins just could not get it going in that
third quarter two drives, it was six plays and out.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
One was a turnover, negative yards on that drive. So
it just yeah, I mean, yeah, let's go ahead and
do the final game stats to close out this first
second because I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I'm kind of swimming through things here. If you guys
can't tell, these shows are tough to do. Man. Final
stats from the game, the Chargers had four hundred and
three yards to Miami's three hundred and forty one. They
had twenty first downs to Miami's nineteen, pretty even. On
third downs the Chargers six for fifteen, Miami five for eleven.
They ran for one hundred and forty Kamani Vadal had
(15:21):
one hundred and twenty eight yards. So like another you know,
a backup running back going off, it's tough to see.
Three turnovers to the Dolphins won for the Chargers. We
had one sack of Herbert. They sacked the Dolphins twice.
Four pounties for Miami for forty five yards. The Chargers
had seven for forty five and top Chargers had it
for almost thirty five minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Dolphins had it for about twenty five minutes in this game.
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
That's the that's the uh, that's the themes of the game.
That is the submarine recap of the first part. Let's
go ahead and take our first break right there, come
back and break down the critical moments of this Dolphins
twenty nine, twenty seven lost the Chargers. Draft Time podcast
brought to you by Auto Nation. Dolphins drop a heartbreaker
at home to the LA Chargers. They fall to one
(16:05):
and five on the season, three consecutive losses to open
the year. You beat the Jets and now back to
back losses here on the road in Charlotte and then
once here at home to the Carolina Panthers next week
on the road in Cleveland. Some critical moments here that
decided this game. The first play, Tua's first pass of
the game was picked off. It was actually a second pass.
It was a first drive.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Though.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I thought it was a nice job of Tua to
pass up the first window and then reset and deliver
a strike to Waddle in the second window. And he
kind of slowed down his route and had to settle
into that soft spot in the zone, and I think
because of that, well, I don't know why, but it
looked like because of that, the ball kind of surprised
him and he winds up double clutching it and then
he flicks it up in the air as he tries
to recorral it and it goes right into the safety's
(16:46):
hands for an easy room service interception and jonas avit
and Aya got walked back into the quarterback on that play,
which speeds up the operation in its own right.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
So a couple of things that went wrong there.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
The Chargers opening drive touched opening drive, the third red
zone own third down on the red zone where Jalen
Phillips was mugged up over the center and dispatches him
with a quick swipe move and puts him on the
ground and then flushes Herbert who throws incomplete with good
coverage by Mica Fitzpatrick. So that's a big win for
the Dolphins there to go one and one in these
critical moments. We talked about the big eight chand run
and how that worked out for the Dolphins, but Kamani
(17:18):
Vadal's big run that led to points a couple drives
later was a good call from them. The Dolphins were
blitzing the interior, they were shutting them down. They weren't
getting knocked off the football the way they have over
the first five games of the season. But the Chargers
here kind of took advantage of that. Sealed the alley,
got it out wide, kicked out the forced defender, and
it was off to the races. Nice job by Minka
Fitzpatrick to get down over there and say the touchdown
because they would kick a field goal. So the Chargers
(17:39):
get another win there in a critical moment, the third
and eight play with nine minutes to go in the
first half, Chargers had the ball at the plus eleven.
We do a good job of zoning off the crosser
coming from the back side. It was an incomplete past
two I think Lad McConkey where the Chargers ran mesh
on the third down play and it looked like Miami
was showing man coverage and they started to chase the
mesh routes across the field meshes where you have two
(18:01):
crossing routes over the middle of the ball trying to
kind of confuse the linebackers and get them picked off
on natural rubs. And typically you'll have a route over
the middle like a deep comeback or a curl, or
sometimes you'll run a wheel route off of that spot
mesh or wheel mesh. There's different concepts, but it's a
man coverage beater. But Ethan Bonner looks like he's gonna
run across the field, passes it off and then peels
back into the passing window. And Jalen Phillips again gets
(18:23):
home with a pass rush wind to speed up the operation,
and it's another incomplete pass on third down in the
red zone. Those are four point plays when you get
them a third and tent the minus thirty eight yard
line up by one fifty four seconds left in the
half and to a ghost of Waddle for forty five yards.
I'd be curious to hear about where that ball was
supposed to go because Wattle kind of turn the shoulder
back to the inside. Tua throws it to the outside
(18:44):
shoulder and Wattle, like an elite center fielder like Julio Rodriguez,
is tracking that thing head whips it, gets his head
back around, makes a fantastic, fantastic catch on that play,
going to the ground for forty five yards to get
Miami back on the scoreboard before halftime injo I want
to bite you and I I had a nice drive
on that drive. I thought it was a rough game
in general, but that drive from particular had a nice
(19:06):
stunt pick up there with Patrick Paul had a pancake
earlier on that drive. A third and goal opening drive
of the second half of the Chargers, they score a
touchdown taking the sixteen to thirteen lead, and they had
it covered well, but the minute Herbert left the pocket,
Ashton Davis just let lad Mconky go and it was
an easy touchdown. Tua gets picked off on the opening
drive of the second half. I thought the play was
there was threefold really was. Our answer was to give
(19:29):
up just to go three times to Devon h a
right to carry a screen than a route, and I
thought his route was not sharp. I thought it was
kind of drifty on the top of it, and two
after the game said it was a bad ball. He
was right, it was, but I thought the route was
too loud. A day's a goal and the throw was
also compounded to the bad issue. That's how these things go. Right.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
You get one mistake in a play you can have
like a a no gain.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Multiple mistakes typically leads to takeaway to negative runs and
negative plays in general. So that's what happened there. Twenty
six to twenty game, six and a half minutes to
play ball in the minus thirty five yard line, Dante
Trader comes on the Blitz couldn't finish the sack, but
the coverage plastered nicely downfield, and Herbert tried to throw
across his body, but it comes up short. Really nice
job plastering and running vertical. I thought Ethan Bonner had
(20:12):
a nice play, a nice rap on that play, and
they pulled both Zach and KG into the hook zone
and by the way, Kenneth Grant's first full sack as
a pro, congrats on that one.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Young Bucky earned it.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
But they pulled both those guys back into the hook
zone and they get pressure with the sim pressure. So
a good play there, and it's looking like Miami's gonna
take this thing and go win the game, right, and
they get a third and one conversion on a game
winning drive with Ollie Gordon off the right side where
they had all their run game success in this one mostly,
but he surges ahead off a Julian Hill kickout block,
makes the critical play to get the first down there,
(20:44):
and then Tua throws the game the go ahead touchdown.
I should say to Darren Waller in the corner of
the end zone and had all they to pass with
a really good pass pro wall in front of him.
And the theme of that drive and really the last
two drives was ball distribution going out to all the guys.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Julian hill Tanner Connor caught a passing that drive.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Like the ball was going all over the field in
that drive and it eventually goes to Waller for a touchdown.
And Tua did a great job pumping to the flat
to pull two Charger defenders out of the back pylon
and then replaces them with the football.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That to me was vintage Tua.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And then on the final drive, I mean, just couldn't
get Herbert to the ground, couldn't, you know, get stay
in bounds on that last play to the league, couldn't
get the kickoff coverage there. It takes like multiple things
to lose that game in that situation, and it just
it went that way. The Chargers made the plays, the
Dolphins didn't make the plays. That's kind of how it goes,
and that was the difference. Man tough tough loss. As
(21:34):
far as the standouts individually offensively, Devon eh Chan, Like,
you talk to coaches, whether in the building or around
the league, whatever it might be, they'll tell you what's
special about Devon is that you scheme up a play
that you hope they can block it for ten yards,
but then he can make it a sixty yard touchdown.
We saw that today for a fifty yard score. The
next run goes for thirteen. I don't know how the
hell he scored that touchdown the second one because there
(21:55):
was that corner was not there like the corner to
the pylon just to test of peer speed, and when
the heat path with flying colors, I don't think it
was blocked that well. He just outran everybody to the corner.
He is a special, special player. Two thousand rushing yards
for eight Chan now and what does he have like
thirty six touchdown. He's just a freaking baller. Aaron Brewer
had a rough stretch in the second half of the
game where he got a couple of holding calls and
(22:17):
just a missed block and a pressure on two and
then a holding call. But the block on the eight
Chan touchdown is playmaking and something you can't ask more
than a handful of centers across the National Football League
to execute, quite frankly, really special second level climb. He
did it again on the very next play next eight
Chan's next run. His hold, though, did bring back the
big two a throw to Waller early in the second quarter.
(22:40):
He struggled in the second half of this game, but
there was some good stuff there on tape for Aaron Brewer.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Jalen Waddle.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I mean, his very first drop of the year turns
into a pick, which is bad luck, bad football. But
the catch on the forty five yard bomb undoes that
and it directly gives Miami three points at the end
of the first half. In general, he's just always open,
he's creating, he's making some tough catches. There was a
throw out of the break on a first down play
action pass where I think he might have scored if
the ball was one step on the upfield shoulder, but
(23:05):
to it was a little bit late. And that's how
this offense goes. Man Like, if you're a beat off pause,
it can basically change the complexion of the play for
a lot of yards. Sometimes for turnovers too. Like it
just happens that way. Defensive standouts. That's all I really
had there. Jalen Phillips. I know he didn't get the
sack at the end of the game. That's gonna probably
eat it him all night long. But he was good today.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Man.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
His pass rush, there was coverage that was good. He
won off the edge and flattened against the run tight
to the line of scrimmage. A few times, had a
tackle for loss at the end of the first half. Again,
despite the messsack, he had a really good game. Rasul
Douglas had his best game with a Dolphin on the
punch out. That was really good football, putting a big
paw on that thing. He also had a big hit
on Herber on a cat blitz. He blasted him off
(23:46):
the blind side, good angle around the edge and made
that thing tight. Then he made the third down stop.
After that, they challenged him on a now throw to
the outside, he makes a one on one tackle with
the line of scrimmage. Really good day for Rasul Douglas.
He's been a nice hit for the Dolphins here at
that cornerback position. They did rotate the corners throughout this game,
which I mean, you're so depleted in terms of injuries
at that spot. I kind of like the idea of
(24:07):
doing that and kind of getting Ethan Bonner and saw
Juju Brentz out there.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I'm so excited to watch the tape on him.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
I know it was probably only a few snaps, but
I think that he has the chops to be a
possible slot corner here of the defense or an outside corner.
I think he's got some game there. Jordan Phillips, he
I'm curious to see his snap count. I feel like
the run defense plays a lot better when he gets
forty snaps in the game. I think he was probably
closer to that in this one. But he had critical
just a bunch of knockback in this game, so I
was that point of attack. He also had a critical
(24:33):
edge set on the third downstop of the Charger second
field goal drive. Kenneth Grant had a full sack his
first nice job collapse in the pocket and playing under
his man to take him for a ride. I'll watch
the tape further on KG tomorrow. I think kJ Britt
probably earned the right to maybe think about being the
linebacker too next to Jordan Brooks because the way he
ran downhill and played in coverage in the hook zone,
playing tight catch in an immediate hit. I just liked
(24:55):
what he brought to the table today in this game
and thought he played really well well. I'm not trying
to make roster decisions, but I think that like the
tape was good and you have probably entertain the idea
that he could get some more playing time. Mika Fitzpatrick
saved a touchdown on the first play of the half.
Making that stop after they broke through the line, which
again the Chargers getting those big explosive runs is like,
you know, I don't, it's just tough to see. But
(25:17):
he had coverage on an incomplete third down pass by
Herbert in the red zone, the one where Phillips pressure
forced Herbert out of the pocket. He came down and
matched up on Allen and then also had matchups on
Maconkie and Will Disley. Solid game here from Mika Fitzpatrick
and then Jordan Brooks overruns that free run on the
Herbert throwaway. But other than that, his angles, his hitting,
stopping guys right in their tracks, playing tight light kJ
(25:38):
Britt thought that was good on all those hook drops
as well. On the other side of the ledger, I
thought Jonah struggled in this game, got walked back into
Tua's lap a couple of times, had some good reps,
but he also was the culprit on the sack and
the third quarter just the over setting to the left post,
to the left tackle posts the outside post for him
and then guys crossing face that continues to get the
best of him, and that redirect has just been to
(25:59):
two slow on those. I thought Tua didn't play his
best game. He had the moment late for sure. The
last two drives were nice, but he missed Waller on
that deep over That was a drive killer. Should have
been a thirty yard play to start that drive, which
if you get that to open the drive, you're gonna
score points no matter what. Usually it leads in a
touchdown because teams get on their heels that quickly. The
first pick was not on him, but he couldn't win
the edge on that little half roll.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I don't blame him for that.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
That's not his skill set, but it's also a snapshot
into his limitations. But also like if it's limited, then
he shouldn't be doing it. Probably the nineteen yard play
to Wattle was a half step behind, and if it's
in stride, Wattle could have probably ran away for a
long touchdown. Maybe he made a predetermined throw to my
league Washington on a third and six on the last
drive of the first half, where the corner squatted on
that play and broke it up, and it was could
(26:42):
have been a lot worse than that, and the misses
kept stacking up. The second pick was a miss. The
miss on the play after that, Wattle on a comeback,
missed high on that one.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Those were like he just hasn't.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Missed those in his career in the past, So I
don't know what's causing it, but it's different.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It's just different.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Like I always thought too, it was like a top,
you know, nine to twelve quarterback in that range. But
the way he misses these, like you can't You're not
going to be up there because you have to hit
those throws unless you can go make a fifty yard
touchdown run, you know, like you can't miss those. Julian
Hill lost the point of attack a few times. He
also missed that little half roll block on the second drive,
up and down game for Julian, But in the end,
(27:18):
I thought he missed a few too many blocks. Alec
Ingold missed the one on the eight chan screen on
the opening drive the second half got blown up. He
had one good block early on. But the batting average
has just been lower this year than it usually is. Defensively, thought,
Ethan Bonner kind of lost contained on a couple of
big runs. There was a wrong fit where he got
stuck inside of Matthew Judhon got beat a couple times
by Ladi McConkey and coverage in the first half, Ashton
(27:39):
Davis's fits against.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
The run got beaten.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Coverage left mconkeye all alone. The touchdown catch, I don't know.
That was a rough game there. And then Zach Seeler,
I thought he finished strong with there was a bunch
of plays again getting push off the lads skrimmage and
then Dante Trader, the Ladd mcconkee play, the miss sack opportunity.
He had a difficult game in this one. Let's go
ahead and pause for our last break. Do five takeaways?
Get the hell out of here? Drive Time podcast brought
(28:01):
to you by AutoNation. Oh, tough going, Man, tough going.
The Dolphins drop another heartbreaker. They're one and five. It
does feel like it's like a better one in five
than it was back in twenty twenty one. But I
mean gold jacket, green jacket at that point.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Five takeaways from this game number one. The defense found
a few things with the edge rotation and that NASCAR package.
The use of multiple edges on one particular play I
thought was kind of indicative of how they viewed this
Chargers front with all the tackles being down, but on
one particular snap they had all four in the field.
We saw Chubb, Chop, JP and Judean all out there.
(28:38):
I thought Phillips was awesome in the game. He impacted
the way the Chargers called the game, and quite frankly,
they had to call upon more max protections and they
probably wanted to in this game. I also thought kJ
Britt gave you a nice splash scraping off the run
game playing Titan Hook's own coverage. I also liked the
usage of the different cornerbacks throughout the game. I'm really
curious to see more Julius Brentz. I think he can
play some football, but you've also probably got some more
(29:00):
direction to go here. With Ashton Davis struggling in this game,
Ethan Bonner was up and down, you know, there's probably
more strange Jonah like it's there's some guys that haven't
played that well. But I think that the defense did
find some things in this game. Number two is that
Waddle is a proven Number one in this league. Three
games now without Tyreek Hill, he came just five yards
(29:20):
short of getting one hundred yards would have been three
for three in that regard, but through three games without
Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddle has three hundred and thirty yards
and two touchdowns in those three games. Made the big
play down the field, had the drop early on, but
he was unfazed. Right the game started poorly for him,
continues to get open despite coverage, rolling his direction, makes
the big play, the acrobatic finish, catching tough balls in traffic.
(29:42):
He's just always open. There's more to to be have
with this guy. There was a reason when Mike McDaniel
got here and he did the Dan Levittard Show before
the Tyreek Hill trade, they asked him, like, which player
in fantasy can we expect more fromhim?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
He goes Waddle.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Wattle, Like that's gonna be how everyone views this guy
going forward. He is awesome. Awesome, dude. I had to
make that wind back run, which was fun to Watchet
got one yard out of it. Also, he completed his
first pass a day too, So Wadle, what can he?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
What can't he do? Number three?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You got to find a way to start second half better.
It's been this way all year long. Buffalo came out
and punched you in the mouth.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
That way.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
The Panthers got points early in that second half. The
Colts did the Patriots Like, it's just been a struggle
in the start of second halfs of games. And we
had two hundred and eleven yards in the first half,
but had you know, negative yards in the third quarter.
And that's happened a few times where the opposing team
makes their adjustments and again they get paid good for them.
But they got themselves into the quick game, the running game.
(30:34):
It put them in favorable down distances. They wind up
converting three third and shorts on that first touchdown drive.
As a result, the first Dolphins drive goes eight Chan
for nothing, screen for Han for negative three. Ingle missed
that block and the dig to e Chan that gets
picked off, and it's just like kind of going back
to the same well over and over again. When we
saw that the ball distribution of the offense was where
(30:55):
it was working at its best. Number four too many
misses by the quarterback in the passing game, right the waller,
the opening Dravet. We covered all of them. It's just
one of the main storylines of the season because in
the past, like he covered up a lot of the
protection issues, the lack of running game, Like we won
games last year down the stretch where we couldn't run
the ball, like after the ask Austin Jackson got hurt,
couldn't run the ball the rest of the year, right,
(31:15):
But they won games because Tua was sharp and got
you on schedule and missed and didn't miss the layups
and just kind of mitigated a lot of the issues
you had. But now he's compounding those and you got
to find a way to be better because if he's
not and this is you know, maybe indicative of the
of the team not being good enough at this current
(31:36):
moment in time. But like when Tua is off a
little bit, this team has a really hard time winning games.
And we've seen it a few times this year from
quarterback when the protection was really rough in the second
half of the game, and then just the situational awareness
like I'm not going to cover it at all, but
you guys saw it by now the podium, the end
of the game podium that's got everyone talking across you know,
multiple every outlet out there, like just better awareness and
(31:59):
every situation is would be nice. Number five. You gotta
find to find a way to close games and to
find closers like coffee is for closers, man, And this
team is not closing games out right now, end of
game situations. It's a running It's a running league now,
right Umbrella coverages keep everything in front of you. It
takes you two first downs to get a game winning drive.
If you don't, if you don't leave the opposing team
(32:19):
with less than twenty seconds left, you're probably gonna get
beat on the backside. I think that's how this league
wants it right now, with these new kickoff rules and
the way the games are played, with running game and
the lack of deep balls, like you're gonna have to
make plays at the end of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Gone are the years of.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Beating the Panthers forty two to twenty one, beating the
Giants thirty one sixteen, beating the Broncos seventy twenty, beating
the Patriots thirty one seventeen, beating the Jets thirty four
to thirteen, beating the Commander's forty five to fifteen, beating
the Jets thirty to nothing. You're not gonna get those
anymore because this league is just not set up to
do that anymore. So you have to find a way
to close out games. The Patriots end of game sequence
was protection quarterback, play penalties operation all of that, the
(33:00):
pick and Buffalo quarterback made a bad decision even though
it was pre determined ahead of time, and the linebacker
made a great play, but you had that's what occurred there,
the misthrow and then the sack against the Panthers after
a fourth down play on defense gets allowed, and then this.
You had chances to close out all those games. And
if you get all of them, you're four and two,
and you're flying high right now. Who wouldn't love to
be four and two. If you get three of them,
(33:21):
you're three and three. That's not a bad spot to
be right now. But you get none of them until
you're one and five, brutal like, it feels like you're
getting close to the evaluation time. But we'll save that
for a later day because I just don't have any
more fight to give on this one Manors play tonight
though in about an hour recording this at seven o'clock tonight.
Very hopeful the Miners can keep what they already turned
(33:42):
into a great sports weekend and make it great going forward.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
What is up Dolphins and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.
I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
the Dolphins come all the way back from down thirteen
in the fourth quarter with forty six seconds to go,
but the Chargers answer with a field goal drive to
get the win. Twenty nine twenty seven of Miami falls
to one and five on the season. You guys know
the drill game recap in summary, biggest storylines, themes, checklists, games, standouts, takeaways,
(00:36):
all of that and more from the Baptist Health Studios
inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Draft
Time Podcast. As for the game itself, it was a
script that was kind of what we've seen this entire season.
Right close in most of these games, but at the
end can't make enough plays to find the win in
(00:56):
this one. In the game had a lead taking away
some of the stuff Chargers are known for, a couple
of missed opportunities early on in penalties, stunt, the ability
to stretch the lead out in that first half, Chargers
hang around and they pounce back in a big way.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
In the third quarter.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
The Dolphins crawl back into it with two consecutive touchdowns
sandwiched around a defensive stop on a drive that lasted
just four plays, but the Chargers pull it out late
thanks to their own playmaking, but also some missed opportunities
by the Miami Dolphins in all three phases of the game.
That's the fourth of six games that came down to
the very end of it, and Miami in those games
(01:32):
is now zero to four.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And look, you are what your record says you are right.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
This is a game in the league that comes down
to these types of plays and situations pretty much week
in and week out, especially now in twenty twenty five.
It used to be a little bit more like games
could get and could turn to runaways and be blowouts.
And there are those games still across the National Football League.
But the way the league has gotten these kickoff rules
into a position where you need two first downs to
(01:56):
kick a game winning field goal at the end, the
way coverages have taken way the long ball for the
most part, it's gonna make games come down to how
well can you grind out the running game, how good
can your defense play, how good can you be situationally?
And for the Miami Dolphins, in all three of those areas.
They have wound up short. In the four games this
year that have been or not run away close losses,
(02:17):
I should say Miami has one runaway victory of their
own and one loss that went in the other direction,
a runaway waiting for the Colts in that game. So
you just had breakdowns and you know, every element of
every phase in that third quarter and in the fourth
the end of the fourth quarter there, I want to
get to it all, but they started getting kind of
whatever they wanted in the second half of the game.
(02:38):
The Chargers did the quick game, the adjustments off of
the first half. Herbert had a good stat line. Two
was missing some things, the protection breakdowns offensively for the Dolphins,
forcing it to one player, you know, kind of that
eight chan drive that kind of got things stuck in
the mud there a little bit. It was a tough
showing in that third quarter, but the Dolphins bounce back
in a big way and kind of shows you some
fight in some life that maybe gave you some hope
(03:00):
going forward here as a comeback victory much like the
one you thought you had against the Patriots, and maybe
trying to stave off the one against the Panthers, and
much like the one you had against the Buffalo Bills.
This season could be a lot different, but it's not.
And they got back into this one with a touchdown
drive with eight minutes to play to cut the lead
down to six. And how would the defense and offense
(03:20):
respond is what I was writing down on my notes
here on the ensuing drives, because again, we've been in
this position a few times in the past, right, how
can they find a way to either find the winning
plays or how can the opposition find the way to
find their own winning plays? And it looked like Miami
in this one, but the Chargers wind up taking it
back in the other direction after the defense got the
(03:42):
ball back immediately after that touchdown drive. It's like eight
minutes to go in the game. You have to get
a stop and a touchdown and probably a stop on
the back side success four plays. The Charger got a
first down on the first play of that drive, but
then go three and out and Miami gets the ball
right back and the offense marches down the field for
probably their best drive of the entire game, but the
Chargers again take it back. Forty six seconds left in
(04:03):
the game. Herbert has is in the grasp of our
pass rushers twice and watching that back if they if
Jalen Phillips dumps Herbert on that play, it's gonna be
third and seventeen with thirty seconds to play in the
game and no timeouts left, which means they're either gonna
have to convert a first down and if they come
up short of the sticks on third down, they're then
(04:23):
gonna have to hurry up and run a quick play,
get the first down, get back to the line scrimmage,
and kill the clock.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Could they have done that, I'm not sure if they
could have. If you get the if you don't.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Go out of bounds on the Moleague Washington play, that
changes the equation entirely there as well. But that's not
what happened. And they get the ball of Laddi mcconkeye.
He races into field goal range and the Chargers split
the uprights there pretty much as time expires. Tua did
throw a pick on the latter role play, his third
of the day, so there was another play in the
game after that, But the Dolphins got their fourth chance
(04:55):
offensively to post a comeback, and they got it, but
they left forty five seconds left in the big kick
return and inability to finish two sacks at the end
ultimately does the Dolphins in. But like here you go,
like the Malake Washington play right, if he's tackled inbounds
on that play, the Chargers use their last time out
and then you get a big kickoff return out to
(05:16):
the forty one yard line.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Then the two failed sacks.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
That was three plays on all three phases of your team,
where if you make any one of them, you probably
win the game. If that drive starts at the twenty
yard line, if you get a good kickoff coverage play,
you probably.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Win the game.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
If ma Lake just stays inbounds on that play, you
probably win the game. If we get one of those sacks,
you probably win the game. And what I really want
to know is where your heads are at as a
fan base, because I've been over this on the show,
and you know, the toughness of these losses has the
more you get, they almost start to callus you a
(05:51):
little bit. But I'm curious where your heads are at
because I get the frustrations. I know a lot of
you are probably really upset and have been since week one,
but even at one in five.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I want to be very careful about how I say this,
because I don't want to come off saying like it's
gonna be sunshine to rainbows, everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm not saying that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But what I am saying is the reason they're in
these games late down the stretch, despite you know, situational
failures or inability to communicate certain aspects or whether it
was what Tuus had after the game with you know,
players and coach staying after the game with players not
you know, showing up to the player only meetings and
stuff like that. That's where the games are being lost,
(06:33):
right because you have talent across this football team. You
have Waddle going for ninety eight yards once again, you
have eight Chan going for one hundred and twenty eight yards.
You have you know, Jalen Phillips is all over the
quarterback today and Minka Fitzpatrick played a really good game.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Jordan Brooks is all over the field.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Aaron Brewer made a bunch of key blocks, like, there's
players on this roster that put you in these positions.
And from that aspect, I don't think you're that far away.
But none of that matters in this league until you
can close out football games and you have the right
mindset to be able to do that. And that's what
they have to find closers and guys that can lead
(07:07):
from the front and be able to put these things away.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And like, that's that's the game.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I get that side, But man, they could so easily
be three and three or even four and two, And
I wonder how much that would change fans sentiment if
they were just three and three, if they just held
off the Panthers last week and beat the Chargers this week,
how much would that change the perception of the football team,
because so much of what we think in media and
fans is so drastically swung by the end result of
(07:32):
the game, which again bottom line business, seventeen games. All
that stuff is true, but there is so much work
and equity and things that go into the rest of
the game and the other one hundred and twenty plays
in the game, and the other six days of the week,
and the preparation that goes into it. There's so much
that goes on the lead to that result that I
wonder if those two wins would change the sentiment and
(07:53):
the way you feel about things compared to being one
and five. I really wish we could step into the
AI machine or the alternate reality machine and just see
what that experience is like. For multitude of reasons, right
I want I would love to be three and three.
I would I would be kind of on cloud NYE
right now if the Dolphins were three and three and
right back in the thick of things in an AFC
that I don't think is that runaway this year, and
you could be right in the mix to you know,
(08:14):
make some noise, but you're not.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You're one and five.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And that's how that happened because of a lot of
the same you know, critical things happening against the Dolphins
and critical moments as has been the case in the
other close games this year. And look just for posterity,
like they get paid to, right, the Chargers get paid to.
And they made the plays when they had to Mconkeye,
Herbert Dicker, the defenders that got Malik out of bounds,
all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
They made their plays too.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So it's not just the Dolphins doing you know, things
to cost themselves.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The Chargers made plays as well.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
The pregame checklist, they were coming out hot and checking
the boxes on these things, they didn't all go their way.
I had four today the Chargers offensive line, running back situation,
run game situation. If you can keep them in third
and long and then get to that spot, can you
generate pressure from that spot.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So it was a two part thing.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Win against the run, take it of ress situations, and
early on they dominated in that capacity. They got the
one big run that worked because of a really well
timed call against the inside blitz and they got the
ball around the corner. I think it was in the
first quarter of the game. But other than that, Miami
kind of set the tempo and set the tone on
the line of scrimmage on the defensive side of the ball,
and they got after Justin Herbert. But again, I mean
(09:19):
Bobby Heart started the game at right tackle and Austin
decklisstarted the game at left tackle. That's a pretty difficult
circumstance to overcome. The Chargers did in this game. But Miami,
at least, I thought, you know, performed against the group
that they should have performed against, and they would adjust
and they wound up completing eleven straight balls at one
point in this game with the Chargers. But as far
as like those elements of the game and taking it
to him early on. I'm going to give Miami a
(09:40):
check for that part of the thing. Conversely, can we
run the ball? The Chargers consistently play light boxes, right
we talked about in the pregame show. They had to
shawan hand down in this game. They play from you know,
five and six man boxes against your heavy personnel. For
Miami to win this game, they had to win the
trenches on both sides, and devon a Chant ran for
one hundred and twenty eight yards, had a fifty yard
touchdown run, and a couple of other chunk plays in
(10:01):
the game as well, But by and large, the Chargers
did kind of bounce back after that one big play.
It was fifteen for seventy otherwise for Devaughan, which is
a good game. You can't take away the one big
play and say that's how the game went. But I
don't think it was good enough for what this it
needed to be against this Chargers defense that you know,
that's kind of how you get him, right, And I
think the Dolphins did a good job of, you know,
(10:24):
getting enough of that to create other situations to attack
this defense in the proper way. But I'm gonna put
an X on that because it didn't quite sustain itself
for sixty minutes enough to win this football game. And
then number three was two of protecting the football against
the complex jesse Mentor scheme. The first play of the
game was a pick, although it was not his fault,
Waddle just dropped it right into the.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Right into the defense's hands.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
He threw into a spot on one that was taken
away with what looked like a predetermined decision, but hasn't
you know, didn't really put the ball in harm's way
outside of that until his pick in the second half
to start the second half again right, and this at
ten to nine, I wrote if they if they protect
the ball the rest of the way, I think they'll
win this game. And then they had the pick to
start the second half and then the last pick. I
don't really that's who cares like That play doesn't even
(11:08):
register for me, but that turned the game on its head.
From that point they needed to match the Chargers in
the next drive and then turned it over immediately. And
that was an X for me because three takeaways, that's
not how you're going to beat this Chargers team. If
they dolphin said zero giveaways. Today they probably win this
football game. And then the fourth one continued evolution of
the offense. Another game removed from Tyreek Hill. What does
it look like? The run game was rolling early, but
(11:28):
there was a lot of empty and outside run game.
There wasn't the inside zone. Alli Gordon got two carries.
It worked for the most part between flags and drops
and miss throws and kind of got pigeonholed into a
certain type of game in the second half. I'm going
to go no on that one as well. One for
four on the pregame checklist. As far as the game themes,
I wrote this down it takes eleven because the first
two drives were a case of one mistake collapsing the operation.
(11:51):
Play play by play really like the wattle dropped for
a pick. Two of misses a wide open waller on
that over. On the second drive of the game, Julian
Hill misses a block on third down. Now on the
touchdown you get eleven on eleven execution Larry Borim and
Julian Hill, big seals, Cole Strange, the kick out block,
Aaron Brewer, a critical climb and displacement at the second level,
and then it was all devon eight Chan's speed to
(12:12):
the crib.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
That was the case for the Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
When it worked, it was one or two guys breaking
down it, or when it worked it when it didn't work,
it was that.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
When it did work, it was all eleven.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Guys getting after which is kind of the theme for
this Dolphins team for not just this year, going back
several years now. Number two was fourteen the Dolphins or
the Chargers rather into max protection on the drive after
the Riley Patrison field goal to open the game, they
threw a twenty one yard crosser to lad Maconkeye with
max protection. They had doubles in the tackles. They squeezed
(12:42):
the inside to the interior two. Then they did it
again the next couple of plays, and that seemed like
it would be the way forward for this Chargers front
that was so banged up, to mitigate their protection issues
and try to go after the receiver dB matchups where
I felt they had the advantage in that area of
the field compared to in the front seven, where they
did not, which speaks to their injury situation. But late
(13:02):
in the first half it became a false start fest
because they couldn't run that type of approach in two
minute offense and you wind up getting two Bobby heart
Fall starts. Now again, you're never gonna see a tackle
tandem like this again. Probably that was probably OT five
and six for the Chargers, but good for the Dolphins
for taking advantage of it on their opening drive of
the second half. They were able to get enough run
and quick game going to stay in third manageable and
(13:25):
convert on third and short three times, including the touchdown there.
So that was the theme of the game, the Chargers
adjusting there as the Dolphins didn't quite make the same
adjustments as the Chargers did.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Dolphins winning the point of.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Attack, creating explosive runs and sitting up the play action
game in the offensive side of the football tow it
hits waddle on that dig for nineteen yards out of
a quick play action setup.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
They went to it a few times.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I think eight chance fifty yard touchdown run kind of
changed the complexion of this game. And that's what he
can do. And we saw them get back to it
a few times as the Chargers, you know, snuck defenders
in tight to the line of scrimmage, which for the
run game that tracks, but it also cohenc with our
preview podcast talking about their propensity to you know, make
their sim pressure guys engage the offensive line and they
(14:08):
want to confuse your protection, touch you, so you have
to pick them up and think that they're coming, then
you back out and that confuses the protection that way,
And we saw the offensive line get beat a few
times on those looks.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
But it was a theme in this one.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
The Dolphins were able to get away from it early,
or get the Chargers away from it early. It compounded
in the third quarter and then the Dolphins found their
way back in the fourth course. So it was a
big win for the Dolphins in that regard. We'll get
to this, but I talked about the adjustments a tail
of two halves, right. The Chargers piled up seventeen points
on three drives to start the second half. The Chargers
had one hundred and seventy one yards of offense and
(14:40):
the Dolphins just could not get it going in that
third quarter two drives, it was six plays and out.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
One was a turnover, negative yards on that drive. So
it just yeah, I mean, yeah, let's go ahead and
do the final game stats to close out this first
second because I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I'm kind of swimming through things here. If you guys
can't tell, these shows are tough to do. Man. Final
stats from the game, the Chargers had four hundred and
three yards to Miami's three hundred and forty one. They
had twenty first downs to Miami's nineteen, pretty even. On
third downs the Chargers six for fifteen, Miami five for eleven.
They ran for one hundred and forty Kamani Vadal had
(15:21):
one hundred and twenty eight yards. So like another you know,
a backup running back going off, it's tough to see.
Three turnovers to the Dolphins won for the Chargers. We
had one sack of Herbert. They sacked the Dolphins twice.
Four pounties for Miami for forty five yards. The Chargers
had seven for forty five and top Chargers had it
for almost thirty five minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Dolphins had it for about twenty five minutes in this game.
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
That's the that's the uh, that's the themes of the game.
That is the submarine recap of the first part. Let's
go ahead and take our first break right there, come
back and break down the critical moments of this Dolphins
twenty nine, twenty seven lost the Chargers. Draft Time podcast
brought to you by Auto Nation. Dolphins drop a heartbreaker
at home to the LA Chargers. They fall to one
(16:05):
and five on the season, three consecutive losses to open
the year. You beat the Jets and now back to
back losses here on the road in Charlotte and then
once here at home to the Carolina Panthers next week
on the road in Cleveland. Some critical moments here that
decided this game. The first play, Tua's first pass of
the game was picked off. It was actually a second pass.
It was a first drive.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Though.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I thought it was a nice job of Tua to
pass up the first window and then reset and deliver
a strike to Waddle in the second window. And he
kind of slowed down his route and had to settle
into that soft spot in the zone, and I think
because of that, well, I don't know why, but it
looked like because of that, the ball kind of surprised
him and he winds up double clutching it and then
he flicks it up in the air as he tries
to recorral it and it goes right into the safety's
(16:46):
hands for an easy room service interception and jonas avit
and Aya got walked back into the quarterback on that play,
which speeds up the operation in its own right.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
So a couple of things that went wrong there.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
The Chargers opening drive touched opening drive, the third red
zone own third down on the red zone where Jalen
Phillips was mugged up over the center and dispatches him
with a quick swipe move and puts him on the
ground and then flushes Herbert who throws incomplete with good
coverage by Mica Fitzpatrick. So that's a big win for
the Dolphins there to go one and one in these
critical moments. We talked about the big eight chand run
and how that worked out for the Dolphins, but Kamani
(17:18):
Vadal's big run that led to points a couple drives
later was a good call from them. The Dolphins were
blitzing the interior, they were shutting them down. They weren't
getting knocked off the football the way they have over
the first five games of the season. But the Chargers
here kind of took advantage of that. Sealed the alley,
got it out wide, kicked out the forced defender, and
it was off to the races. Nice job by Minka
Fitzpatrick to get down over there and say the touchdown
because they would kick a field goal. So the Chargers
(17:39):
get another win there in a critical moment, the third
and eight play with nine minutes to go in the
first half, Chargers had the ball at the plus eleven.
We do a good job of zoning off the crosser
coming from the back side. It was an incomplete past
two I think Lad McConkey where the Chargers ran mesh
on the third down play and it looked like Miami
was showing man coverage and they started to chase the
mesh routes across the field meshes where you have two
(18:01):
crossing routes over the middle of the ball trying to
kind of confuse the linebackers and get them picked off
on natural rubs. And typically you'll have a route over
the middle like a deep comeback or a curl, or
sometimes you'll run a wheel route off of that spot
mesh or wheel mesh. There's different concepts, but it's a
man coverage beater. But Ethan Bonner looks like he's gonna
run across the field, passes it off and then peels
back into the passing window. And Jalen Phillips again gets
(18:23):
home with a pass rush wind to speed up the operation,
and it's another incomplete pass on third down in the
red zone. Those are four point plays when you get
them a third and tent the minus thirty eight yard
line up by one fifty four seconds left in the
half and to a ghost of Waddle for forty five yards.
I'd be curious to hear about where that ball was
supposed to go because Wattle kind of turn the shoulder
back to the inside. Tua throws it to the outside
(18:44):
shoulder and Wattle, like an elite center fielder like Julio Rodriguez,
is tracking that thing head whips it, gets his head
back around, makes a fantastic, fantastic catch on that play,
going to the ground for forty five yards to get
Miami back on the scoreboard before halftime injo I want
to bite you and I I had a nice drive
on that drive. I thought it was a rough game
in general, but that drive from particular had a nice
(19:06):
stunt pick up there with Patrick Paul had a pancake
earlier on that drive. A third and goal opening drive
of the second half of the Chargers, they score a
touchdown taking the sixteen to thirteen lead, and they had
it covered well, but the minute Herbert left the pocket,
Ashton Davis just let lad Mconky go and it was
an easy touchdown. Tua gets picked off on the opening
drive of the second half. I thought the play was
there was threefold really was. Our answer was to give
(19:29):
up just to go three times to Devon h a
right to carry a screen than a route, and I
thought his route was not sharp. I thought it was
kind of drifty on the top of it, and two
after the game said it was a bad ball. He
was right, it was, but I thought the route was
too loud. A day's a goal and the throw was
also compounded to the bad issue. That's how these things go. Right.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
You get one mistake in a play you can have
like a a no gain.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Multiple mistakes typically leads to takeaway to negative runs and
negative plays in general. So that's what happened there. Twenty
six to twenty game, six and a half minutes to
play ball in the minus thirty five yard line, Dante
Trader comes on the Blitz couldn't finish the sack, but
the coverage plastered nicely downfield, and Herbert tried to throw
across his body, but it comes up short. Really nice
job plastering and running vertical. I thought Ethan Bonner had
(20:12):
a nice play, a nice rap on that play, and
they pulled both Zach and KG into the hook zone
and by the way, Kenneth Grant's first full sack as
a pro, congrats on that one.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Young Bucky earned it.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
But they pulled both those guys back into the hook
zone and they get pressure with the sim pressure. So
a good play there, and it's looking like Miami's gonna
take this thing and go win the game, right, and
they get a third and one conversion on a game
winning drive with Ollie Gordon off the right side where
they had all their run game success in this one mostly,
but he surges ahead off a Julian Hill kickout block,
makes the critical play to get the first down there,
(20:44):
and then Tua throws the game the go ahead touchdown.
I should say to Darren Waller in the corner of
the end zone and had all they to pass with
a really good pass pro wall in front of him.
And the theme of that drive and really the last
two drives was ball distribution going out to all the guys.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Julian hill Tanner Connor caught a passing that drive.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Like the ball was going all over the field in
that drive and it eventually goes to Waller for a touchdown.
And Tua did a great job pumping to the flat
to pull two Charger defenders out of the back pylon
and then replaces them with the football.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That to me was vintage Tua.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And then on the final drive, I mean, just couldn't
get Herbert to the ground, couldn't, you know, get stay
in bounds on that last play to the league, couldn't
get the kickoff coverage there. It takes like multiple things
to lose that game in that situation, and it just
it went that way. The Chargers made the plays, the
Dolphins didn't make the plays. That's kind of how it goes,
and that was the difference. Man tough tough loss. As
(21:34):
far as the standouts individually offensively, Devon eh Chan, Like,
you talk to coaches, whether in the building or around
the league, whatever it might be, they'll tell you what's
special about Devon is that you scheme up a play
that you hope they can block it for ten yards,
but then he can make it a sixty yard touchdown.
We saw that today for a fifty yard score. The
next run goes for thirteen. I don't know how the
hell he scored that touchdown the second one because there
(21:55):
was that corner was not there like the corner to
the pylon just to test of peer speed, and when
the heat path with flying colors, I don't think it
was blocked that well. He just outran everybody to the corner.
He is a special, special player. Two thousand rushing yards
for eight Chan now and what does he have like
thirty six touchdown. He's just a freaking baller. Aaron Brewer
had a rough stretch in the second half of the
game where he got a couple of holding calls and
(22:17):
just a missed block and a pressure on two and
then a holding call. But the block on the eight
Chan touchdown is playmaking and something you can't ask more
than a handful of centers across the National Football League
to execute, quite frankly, really special second level climb. He
did it again on the very next play next eight
Chan's next run. His hold, though, did bring back the
big two a throw to Waller early in the second quarter.
(22:40):
He struggled in the second half of this game, but
there was some good stuff there on tape for Aaron Brewer.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Jalen Waddle.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I mean, his very first drop of the year turns
into a pick, which is bad luck, bad football. But
the catch on the forty five yard bomb undoes that
and it directly gives Miami three points at the end
of the first half. In general, he's just always open,
he's creating, he's making some tough catches. There was a
throw out of the break on a first down play
action pass where I think he might have scored if
the ball was one step on the upfield shoulder, but
(23:05):
to it was a little bit late. And that's how
this offense goes. Man Like, if you're a beat off pause,
it can basically change the complexion of the play for
a lot of yards. Sometimes for turnovers too. Like it
just happens that way. Defensive standouts. That's all I really
had there. Jalen Phillips. I know he didn't get the
sack at the end of the game. That's gonna probably
eat it him all night long. But he was good today.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Man.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
His pass rush, there was coverage that was good. He
won off the edge and flattened against the run tight
to the line of scrimmage. A few times, had a
tackle for loss at the end of the first half. Again,
despite the messsack, he had a really good game. Rasul
Douglas had his best game with a Dolphin on the
punch out. That was really good football, putting a big
paw on that thing. He also had a big hit
on Herber on a cat blitz. He blasted him off
(23:46):
the blind side, good angle around the edge and made
that thing tight. Then he made the third down stop.
After that, they challenged him on a now throw to
the outside, he makes a one on one tackle with
the line of scrimmage. Really good day for Rasul Douglas.
He's been a nice hit for the Dolphins here at
that cornerback position. They did rotate the corners throughout this game,
which I mean, you're so depleted in terms of injuries
at that spot. I kind of like the idea of
(24:07):
doing that and kind of getting Ethan Bonner and saw
Juju Brentz out there.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I'm so excited to watch the tape on him.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
I know it was probably only a few snaps, but
I think that he has the chops to be a
possible slot corner here of the defense or an outside corner.
I think he's got some game there. Jordan Phillips, he
I'm curious to see his snap count. I feel like
the run defense plays a lot better when he gets
forty snaps in the game. I think he was probably
closer to that in this one. But he had critical
just a bunch of knockback in this game, so I
was that point of attack. He also had a critical
(24:33):
edge set on the third downstop of the Charger second
field goal drive. Kenneth Grant had a full sack his
first nice job collapse in the pocket and playing under
his man to take him for a ride. I'll watch
the tape further on KG tomorrow. I think kJ Britt
probably earned the right to maybe think about being the
linebacker too next to Jordan Brooks because the way he
ran downhill and played in coverage in the hook zone,
playing tight catch in an immediate hit. I just liked
(24:55):
what he brought to the table today in this game
and thought he played really well well. I'm not trying
to make roster decisions, but I think that like the
tape was good and you have probably entertain the idea
that he could get some more playing time. Mika Fitzpatrick
saved a touchdown on the first play of the half.
Making that stop after they broke through the line, which
again the Chargers getting those big explosive runs is like,
you know, I don't, it's just tough to see. But
(25:17):
he had coverage on an incomplete third down pass by
Herbert in the red zone, the one where Phillips pressure
forced Herbert out of the pocket. He came down and
matched up on Allen and then also had matchups on
Maconkie and Will Disley. Solid game here from Mika Fitzpatrick
and then Jordan Brooks overruns that free run on the
Herbert throwaway. But other than that, his angles, his hitting,
stopping guys right in their tracks, playing tight light kJ
(25:38):
Britt thought that was good on all those hook drops
as well. On the other side of the ledger, I
thought Jonah struggled in this game, got walked back into
Tua's lap a couple of times, had some good reps,
but he also was the culprit on the sack and
the third quarter just the over setting to the left post,
to the left tackle posts the outside post for him
and then guys crossing face that continues to get the
best of him, and that redirect has just been to
(25:59):
two slow on those. I thought Tua didn't play his
best game. He had the moment late for sure. The
last two drives were nice, but he missed Waller on
that deep over That was a drive killer. Should have
been a thirty yard play to start that drive, which
if you get that to open the drive, you're gonna
score points no matter what. Usually it leads in a
touchdown because teams get on their heels that quickly. The
first pick was not on him, but he couldn't win
the edge on that little half roll.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I don't blame him for that.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
That's not his skill set, but it's also a snapshot
into his limitations. But also like if it's limited, then
he shouldn't be doing it. Probably the nineteen yard play
to Wattle was a half step behind, and if it's
in stride, Wattle could have probably ran away for a
long touchdown. Maybe he made a predetermined throw to my
league Washington on a third and six on the last
drive of the first half, where the corner squatted on
that play and broke it up, and it was could
(26:42):
have been a lot worse than that, and the misses
kept stacking up. The second pick was a miss. The
miss on the play after that, Wattle on a comeback,
missed high on that one.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Those were like he just hasn't.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Missed those in his career in the past, So I
don't know what's causing it, but it's different.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It's just different.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Like I always thought too, it was like a top,
you know, nine to twelve quarterback in that range. But
the way he misses these, like you can't You're not
going to be up there because you have to hit
those throws unless you can go make a fifty yard
touchdown run, you know, like you can't miss those. Julian
Hill lost the point of attack a few times. He
also missed that little half roll block on the second drive,
up and down game for Julian, But in the end,
(27:18):
I thought he missed a few too many blocks. Alec
Ingold missed the one on the eight chan screen on
the opening drive the second half got blown up. He
had one good block early on. But the batting average
has just been lower this year than it usually is. Defensively, thought,
Ethan Bonner kind of lost contained on a couple of
big runs. There was a wrong fit where he got
stuck inside of Matthew Judhon got beat a couple times
by Ladi McConkey and coverage in the first half, Ashton
(27:39):
Davis's fits against.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
The run got beaten.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Coverage left mconkeye all alone. The touchdown catch, I don't know.
That was a rough game there. And then Zach Seeler,
I thought he finished strong with there was a bunch
of plays again getting push off the lads skrimmage and
then Dante Trader, the Ladd mcconkee play, the miss sack opportunity.
He had a difficult game in this one. Let's go
ahead and pause for our last break. Do five takeaways?
Get the hell out of here? Drive Time podcast brought
(28:01):
to you by AutoNation. Oh, tough going, Man, tough going.
The Dolphins drop another heartbreaker. They're one and five. It
does feel like it's like a better one in five
than it was back in twenty twenty one. But I
mean gold jacket, green jacket at that point.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Five takeaways from this game number one. The defense found
a few things with the edge rotation and that NASCAR package.
The use of multiple edges on one particular play I
thought was kind of indicative of how they viewed this
Chargers front with all the tackles being down, but on
one particular snap they had all four in the field.
We saw Chubb, Chop, JP and Judean all out there.
(28:38):
I thought Phillips was awesome in the game. He impacted
the way the Chargers called the game, and quite frankly,
they had to call upon more max protections and they
probably wanted to in this game. I also thought kJ
Britt gave you a nice splash scraping off the run
game playing Titan Hook's own coverage. I also liked the
usage of the different cornerbacks throughout the game. I'm really
curious to see more Julius Brentz. I think he can
play some football, but you've also probably got some more
(29:00):
direction to go here. With Ashton Davis struggling in this game,
Ethan Bonner was up and down, you know, there's probably
more strange Jonah like it's there's some guys that haven't
played that well. But I think that the defense did
find some things in this game. Number two is that
Waddle is a proven Number one in this league. Three
games now without Tyreek Hill, he came just five yards
(29:20):
short of getting one hundred yards would have been three
for three in that regard, but through three games without
Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddle has three hundred and thirty yards
and two touchdowns in those three games. Made the big
play down the field, had the drop early on, but
he was unfazed. Right the game started poorly for him,
continues to get open despite coverage, rolling his direction, makes
the big play, the acrobatic finish, catching tough balls in traffic.
(29:42):
He's just always open. There's more to to be have
with this guy. There was a reason when Mike McDaniel
got here and he did the Dan Levittard Show before
the Tyreek Hill trade, they asked him, like, which player
in fantasy can we expect more fromhim?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
He goes Waddle.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Wattle, Like that's gonna be how everyone views this guy
going forward. He is awesome. Awesome, dude. I had to
make that wind back run, which was fun to Watchet
got one yard out of it. Also, he completed his
first pass a day too, So Wadle, what can he?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
What can't he do? Number three?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You got to find a way to start second half better.
It's been this way all year long. Buffalo came out
and punched you in the mouth.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
That way.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
The Panthers got points early in that second half. The
Colts did the Patriots Like, it's just been a struggle
in the start of second halfs of games. And we
had two hundred and eleven yards in the first half,
but had you know, negative yards in the third quarter.
And that's happened a few times where the opposing team
makes their adjustments and again they get paid good for them.
But they got themselves into the quick game, the running game.
(30:34):
It put them in favorable down distances. They wind up
converting three third and shorts on that first touchdown drive.
As a result, the first Dolphins drive goes eight Chan
for nothing, screen for Han for negative three. Ingle missed
that block and the dig to e Chan that gets
picked off, and it's just like kind of going back
to the same well over and over again. When we
saw that the ball distribution of the offense was where
(30:55):
it was working at its best. Number four too many
misses by the quarterback in the passing game, right the waller,
the opening Dravet. We covered all of them. It's just
one of the main storylines of the season because in
the past, like he covered up a lot of the
protection issues, the lack of running game, Like we won
games last year down the stretch where we couldn't run
the ball, like after the ask Austin Jackson got hurt,
couldn't run the ball the rest of the year, right,
(31:15):
But they won games because Tua was sharp and got
you on schedule and missed and didn't miss the layups
and just kind of mitigated a lot of the issues
you had. But now he's compounding those and you got
to find a way to be better because if he's
not and this is you know, maybe indicative of the
of the team not being good enough at this current
(31:36):
moment in time. But like when Tua is off a
little bit, this team has a really hard time winning games.
And we've seen it a few times this year from
quarterback when the protection was really rough in the second
half of the game, and then just the situational awareness
like I'm not going to cover it at all, but
you guys saw it by now the podium, the end
of the game podium that's got everyone talking across you know,
multiple every outlet out there, like just better awareness and
(31:59):
every situation is would be nice. Number five. You gotta
find to find a way to close games and to
find closers like coffee is for closers, man, And this
team is not closing games out right now, end of
game situations. It's a running It's a running league now,
right Umbrella coverages keep everything in front of you. It
takes you two first downs to get a game winning drive.
If you don't, if you don't leave the opposing team
(32:19):
with less than twenty seconds left, you're probably gonna get
beat on the backside. I think that's how this league
wants it right now, with these new kickoff rules and
the way the games are played, with running game and
the lack of deep balls, like you're gonna have to
make plays at the end of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Gone are the years of.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Beating the Panthers forty two to twenty one, beating the
Giants thirty one sixteen, beating the Broncos seventy twenty, beating
the Patriots thirty one seventeen, beating the Jets thirty four
to thirteen, beating the Commander's forty five to fifteen, beating
the Jets thirty to nothing. You're not gonna get those
anymore because this league is just not set up to
do that anymore. So you have to find a way
to close out games. The Patriots end of game sequence
was protection quarterback, play penalties operation all of that, the
(33:00):
pick and Buffalo quarterback made a bad decision even though
it was pre determined ahead of time, and the linebacker
made a great play, but you had that's what occurred there,
the misthrow and then the sack against the Panthers after
a fourth down play on defense gets allowed, and then this.
You had chances to close out all those games. And
if you get all of them, you're four and two,
and you're flying high right now. Who wouldn't love to
be four and two. If you get three of them,
(33:21):
you're three and three. That's not a bad spot to
be right now. But you get none of them until
you're one and five, brutal like, it feels like you're
getting close to the evaluation time. But we'll save that
for a later day because I just don't have any
more fight to give on this one Manors play tonight
though in about an hour recording this at seven o'clock tonight.
Very hopeful the Miners can keep what they already turned
(33:42):
into a great sports weekend and make it great going forward.
