Speaker 1 (00:00):
To remove Darling Deep Speedways past Hellasday. From the Baptist
Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is
Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's gotta buy havans in the playoffs.
(00:25):
What is up, Dolphans And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.
I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
don't just feel good, don't just feel good to be back.
We have an all twenty two tape to break down,
and I am just fired up to be here. Little
Steve Balmer for you there, almost forgot his name. A
little bit of a new format here on the A
(00:47):
twenty two podcast. We'll talk in more general terms on
both offense and defense. We're gonna talk about the quarterback
every week two or otherwise. We'll highlight the standouts, talk
about the misses, and we'll issue our top five tapes
and go inside the numbers and snap counts. A heck
of a lot more busy Monday night, Tuesday morning episode
from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
(01:08):
This is the Draft On podcast. We're gonna start, as
we do on these Tuesday shows, with the offense and
we'll cover some more general points off the top here,
because in terms of the personnel usage, I think we're
just beginning to scratch the surface of what this offense
(01:28):
can do and what it can look like and the many,
many shapes that it can take. We had two tailbacks
and this does not include alec Ingold, who's a fullback. Obviously,
fifty two percent of the time, two fullbacks on the field,
and no other team heading into Monday Night Football, which
the Niners are part of, but I doubt they do
that with McCaffrey being the guy there. No other team
(01:48):
was over thirty three percent, and this is what I
was looking for with regards to the receiver's room being
so banged up. But I think you also still saw
what we can do when we get our guys back,
like Craig Craft to Malik Washington and obviously the big
one Odell Beckham Junior. Because there was still twenty snaps
from eleven personnel it's three wide receivers, and now fourteen
(02:09):
of those were in the first half. But I thought
that was part of the second half adjustment, get out
of that package that brings quite frankly lesser players onto
the field. That split with the two back personnel was
thirty five percent twenty one personnel that is two backs
and one tight end, and then seventeen percent twenty two personnel,
which is two backs and two tight ends and just
(02:30):
one wide receiver on the field. To me, that is
how you combat the lack of depth you have right
now at wide receiver, because for me, right now, the
Dolphins have two receivers worth throwing targets too that are
active and healthy, and that should change when Malik gets
back and OBJ and Craikraft won't be back before what
is it, Week four, so you're gonna have to content
with that over the next couple of weeks. We have
the toughest game in the first part of the schedule
(02:51):
coming up on Thursday, but I feel pretty good about
Miami's ability to win the following three games with the
personnel and the makeup. The way it is, get this
game in Thursday in Buffalo, and you get through the
restless schedule, go into the bye week unbeaten, and get
guys back. I think that's a very scary thought for
the rest of the NFL. But first, let's go ahead
and break down this Jacksonville tape. I do think that
(03:13):
eleven personnel grouping was more by necessity as we were
in these you know, long down and distances, and the
threat of the run really goes away when you have that. Thus,
two backs does you no good unless you're literally using
them as a wide receiver, which again was the case
with a Cham. But I think that when you're in
third and twelve, him as a receiver kind of loses
(03:33):
some of its luster because the cats out of the bag.
There's no creativity in terms of do we use him
as a runner here? Is it more of a motion
like decoy because he's a true wide receiver at that point,
And I don't think that's where his true value is.
It's in the complexity and diversity and package defensive package
confusion it creates, not just a true wide receiver, although
I think at the current makeup, I do believe he
(03:55):
is the third best. Even with all that said, but
we ran eleven personnel just a level seven percent of
first downs and just nine point five percent on second downs.
It was mostly those third long situations. Now, the first
fourth down play is an example of how quite frankly
undermanned we are at that position. The personnel was Waddle,
who was bracketed. I would do the exact same thing,
(04:16):
just like the Ravens and Bills, And well, they didn't
brack at Walla. They breck it tyrek in those games.
But the Cowboys and the Titan like, that's what teams
did to us last year because of the exact same situation.
And then you had Debo's chosen Barrios Connor and a
chan on the field. Barrios was open and I love
the design, a little short motion out of the backfield
Texas route back across the face of the linebacker. But
(04:38):
I thought Tua was late on the read. I think
that he wanted a chan on a vertical shot up
up the sideline, but the cornerback got right back into
phase as you saw Tua's helmet go that way, so
I think it caused a little bit of a hitch.
And then he throws it just a beat late, and
I'm going to give it a breakup because the hand
was in there. It was not a drop pass like
it was clearly a defensive back breakup on that play.
(05:00):
I chalk that one up to Tua, but also have
a note in the back of my mind like this
personnel is not good enough. To win. I wouldn't go
for fourth downs if I have that kind of personnel.
That's just me. We saw Barrios, Tyreek, watt Ole, Johnnu
and Tanner in the backfield at different points of the game.
Talk about using your versatility, and we talk about Anthony
Weaver's defense being this positionless attack where guys can line
(05:20):
up in different spots and know their rush patterns from
those spots. The offense kind of looks like that too,
man Like, it's crazy to see how many different guys
can line up in different alignments on this offense. Now,
excuse me as far as the misses, I get the
mo when things go wrong is who do we have
to replace? Right? But it's why I urge fans of
(05:41):
any team in this league, in this sport. It is
a very esoteric game that I don't expect you guys
to sit here and grind tape and come up with
your thoughts in all fifty three players. But it's the
whole concept of like one bad play, gotta get a
new guy in that position is just not how it's
ever going to work. Because when you watch these plays,
just have a little bit of patience to understand, like
(06:02):
it's one thing that went wrong. That was all it was.
Because on the thirty nine yard play to Devon a
Cham and that deep miss to Tyreek Hill early on,
we were just one assignment off on those plays from
being long touchdowns, and both of them were actually from
the f position. A miss in protection off the edge
by alec Ingold on the deep shot where I thought
he had the chance to get back into the line
(06:23):
of sight for the quarterback and that edge rusher, but
that kind of forced to it to roll his shoulders
and miss that throw because he was trying to protect
himself as we want him to do. And then there
was also a failure down the field to cut off
the backside safety on that long a Cham play by
John new Smith, and the effort was like, come on, dude,
what are you doing, Like get out there. He just
jogged after the block, and if he makes that block,
(06:45):
a chance scores in that play, no doubt about it.
Alec on the short motion pivot back just it was
clear what he had on that play with Devin Lloyd,
but he just couldn't get his footwork back under him
as he sifted back outside. It's not an effort thing,
so I can't get two down him for that, Like
you can get mad about effort, but Alex just couldn't
get wide and too had to roll the shoulders and
miss that throw. So a couple of just minor misses
(07:07):
cost you fourteen points in the game early on. In
my opinion, I also felt like the quick game rhythm
was broken up for two reasons. Number one, they did
a great job Jacksonville of taking it away on a
few plays those robber brackets they would play underneath trail
and funnel into safety help and bracket Tyreek or Waddle
or sometimes even john Smith. It was a priority over
(07:29):
the middle of the football, over the field, middle of
the field, over the top of the football to bracket
those routes because we do so well in those areas,
clearly a point of contention, but also too when they
didn't do it, we just couldn't separate because the same
damn issues as last season with Chosen and Brax and
Durham and now Debos whatever the hell Johnny was doing,
that's not going to be good enough, and we don't
(07:50):
get the new guys back and playing at their full capacity,
or if we don't adjust the plan with the personnel
we've got I'm not sure how much you can do
to overcome, you know, bad slayers, Like you can scheme
around bad offensive line play. I've been saying that for
the whole damn offseason. But you can't scheme around receivers
that can't get open and guys that have no explosiveness.
Then you get shut down by the more athletic defensive
(08:11):
backs every single time. Then you'll have the same issues
you had down the stretch last year. It's that simple.
That's the biggest thing they're gonna have to contend with
over these first four or five weeks. Again, I'm grateful
the schedule is what it is, but I think there's
no excuse even with all that, to not be at
least four and one at the bye week. But that,
to me, is going to be the biggest hurdle to
get to that point. And to the point about robbers,
(08:34):
Do you guys know what robbers are? So essentially a
robber isn't a too high structure and one will pivot
back to the post to take away the middle of
the field and the other safety. The robber will come
down and try to pick off crossing routes. It's called robbing.
The crossing route basically, so they play that deep hook
and take away crossers and deep hook routes by you know,
interior receivers. So to the point about robbers, they also
(08:54):
do this thing where they would peel the backside linebacker
to the front side crosser the slants like on the
double slam on that fourth down failure, A Luacun. How
do you say it? I think it's foya sat a
Luacun on that fourth down did this masterfully and you
just don't typically account for a guy in your front
side count from the backside. But now it's on tape,
so they know they can see that and have plans
(09:15):
to work around it when it does happen. I think
at some point we're gonna get a wrinkle off of
that escort screen where you have the lead blocker like
upfield and then the running back behind the line of
scrimmage and two throws it to the backman because at
a certain point in this game, and a lot of
teams do this. The Dolphins didn't do it last year,
but the Rams and the Niners incorporated this escort swing route.
What you saw a lot with the Jaguars in this
(09:36):
game was they would just basically turn the front guy
free knowing he's a blocker. There is definitely a throw
down the field, kind of like the fake screen. Like
remember back in the day, you'd fake the bubble screen
and throw the ball to the fake block down the field.
I think we score a touchdown in the two thousand
and eight finale against the Jets to Anthony Fossano doing that.
If not mistaken, Dolphins institutional knowledge is why you come
to the Draft Time podcast, baby. But I think we
have a chance to throw a wrinkle in off of
(09:57):
that with that look and then finally more or just
general offense. I think Jeff Wilson and what he showed
that he can be kind of akin to the Rams
and what they've done with Kyron Williams, who's this really
good outside zone runner, but he also has a lot
of good vision and conviction and power inside to go
run power. What's power, Travis, It's man gap schemes where
you pull a backside guard, you get down blocks hat
(10:19):
on a hat and you try to just blow him
off the football and get knocked back. The lines did
it in the Sunday Night game and overtime. Just push
the Rams off the football and won that game. We
did it in the fourth quarter here against the Jacksonville Jaguars,
power eye formation, some real nineteen nineties throwback stuff, and
that's just what Jeff did on the fourteen yard run
with power, conviction, attitude and an offensive line that feeds
(10:40):
off that energy. My either note about the offense here
is devon ah Chan's usage really enjoyed the creative ways
to get him the football in space. He had a
twenty yard catch and run with a short motion tyreek
out and then he ran the swing from the pistol
and it clears out this entire area besides one poor linebacker,
one poor soul out there just left to have his
(11:00):
jockstrap left on the turf. And that's exactly what happens,
because you have no chance to get this guy down
in an open patch of grass. He lined up as
a receiver eight Chan did on forty percent of his snaps,
Eleven of the seventeen came from the slot, and he
also caught all seven targets for seventy six yards and
made four tacklers miss as a receiver. We've been talking
about this here. It is a Chan the receiver. It's
(11:23):
a big, big deal. For this team, and it's going
to be more going forward. Let's go ahead and do
a no huddle big play round up. Last year we
kicked off the tape with the explosive plays, but we're
gonna do this in quick succession here because I want
to just break down these critical plays in quick succession
before we get into the rest of the individual's successes
and go ahead and cue some music here. So a
(11:44):
chance thirty nine yard catch and run on the opening play,
great run by Devan, fantastic blocks by both Liam and
Austin who got out in space as they did all
day long. And a great job by the receivers both
Burrios and Waddle hitting key blocks. So Liam, Austin, Burios,
Wattle a Chan, good job boys on the eight chan
touchdown run. A brilliant design on the pivot full back dive.
(12:07):
And this is why I love this offense so much,
because Tua's pivot footwork operates in unison with Tyreek Hill,
who runs the orbit reverse action that holds this backside
end for just a beat. And if you watch this play,
Trayvon Walker had the b gap dead to rights if
he wants to shoot it. But because of that action
because of the footwork and the front side motion he's
(12:28):
keying that he takes one step upfield, and that's all
a chan needs to penetrate that b gap. As a
play caller, you are a storyteller. You're a poker player.
Your bluff must make sense every step of the way.
And that was a well crafted story, a well crafted
bluff there from Mike McDaniel and Frank Smith. Jalen Wattle's
sixty three yard reception. One hitch footwork with a little
(12:49):
bit of a shoulder roll pump to Tyreek and at
that glance you see that backside safety say, oh cool,
pick coming my way. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It gives Waddle
all the space he needs in that deep crosser from
the other side of the formation and just a perfect
ball from doing with Dongabailoa and the pass pro. What
(13:10):
a work of art. You had, full extension, lockout across
the board, right tackle Austin Jackson, jump sets Josh Allen Hines.
You get Liam Miikenberg locking down Mason Smith. You get
Tyler Lacey going nowhere against Aaron Brewer, who is in
the top five tapes. Is he number one? He might be.
He's locked out in that rep and then the front
side action creates this flow that puts the Jags other
(13:31):
part of the pass rush completely out of the play
as well. So design, scheme, execution all across the board
thing of beauty Tyreek Hill for eighty yards. The way
he attacks space and presses the toes of defensive backs
is the most underrated aspect of anybody's game in the
entire National Football League. He's just so fashion gets wide open,
nah bro. He's one of the most detailed route runners
in the entire damn game. And he showed it right
(13:52):
here where he widened or got more depth on this
route to push Andre Cisco back, get him on his heels,
and when he sees that, it feels that then he
rips that thing horizontally across the field and that just
creates this extra bit of separation. And with Tua being
so perfect, that's why he's able to erase that angle
because of his nuance, because of Tua's timing and accuracy,
(14:13):
and then the Cheetah takes over from there. Just beautiful football.
I love professional football when it's played at this level.
Let's pick it back up here and get into the
quarterback to a tongue Bai Loa's game. We're always going
to do a portion on the quarterback during these shows,
whether it's whether it's tu Us Collar Thompson or otherwise.
So the opening drive deep shot the Tyreek is very
well covered. But we've covered it well, I should say.
(14:35):
But you see the rush fan out and leave the
middle wide open. And I mentioned this because Tua would
later exploit it in the game, and that was kind
of the theme of the entire game. A new DC
on the other side, you absorb their opening punch. They
have a game plan that you have no clue what
it's going to be. You're not sure what you're going
to get from that, and they've found out on the fly.
It's like when you are golf reference incoming, when you're
(15:00):
on the driving range and you don't have your swing.
You think it's gonna be a bad day, but you
find it on the course. That's a testament of a
great golfer. And I think it applies to football, especially
on the offensive side. You find out what they're gonna
do as the game goes along. Four total pressures on
forty one dropbacks. Weird, How did that happen against a
great pass rush weird, and I think a lot of
(15:20):
that was Tua's mastery of the offense because we saw
it all day. And this is why I make this point.
I'm not telling you the offensive line is some five
group of all pros. It's because the offense works this way.
He just saw it play out. It was like first read, bang,
second read, onto the next, then get the ball up
and down to that third or fourth read based upon
the information you gathered from the early part of your progression.
(15:40):
It is working like clockwork. I've never seen him scan
faster than I did in this game, like scan the post,
the seam, than the escort swing. Just boom boom boom.
Ball is out two point five seconds and mitigate any
pass rush they might have. I think we saw how
well he just knows this offense, even early on in
the game when things were not going smoothly. He wasn't
really put in a lot of positions to play make
(16:00):
early on in the game tons of quick game. But
I thought vintage Tua showed up on that third and
eight strike to Jalen Waddle on the first touchdown drive
of the day. They're in this too high safety look
outside leverage and you see Wattle and Tua kind of
have a hand signal communication and a great job by
Waddle to take this inside release, get the cornerback out
of phase, create the blind spot back to the perimeter,
(16:22):
which is where you want to throw the ball, make
him blind to that, and then round that route off.
And right when he gets around that round off, the
ball is right there because Tua throws the thing before
he's out of the break, layers it right on time,
right on the money. That's a big time throw. Man.
If we don't get that, we're kicking the ball back
away to Jacksonville down by fourteen. With them getting the
ball at halftime, the game could have gotten away from
you if you didn't hit that play, but they did.
(16:44):
And then a few plays later it's third and six
after durhams my little start. But Tyreek this play is
just as great because they're condensed space to the short
side of the field the boundary, and they run this
return motion where Tyreek comes in, goes back out and
he makes his break well before the ball or with
the ball well in the air, and it's perfectly located
(17:04):
on the outside shoulder away from this driving defender who's
thinking pick six all the way, not when that quarterback's
throwing that ball buster brown high level quarterback play on
that drive. He did have a couple of misses that
were used to that we're not used to, I should say,
in that first half. Earlier in that drive, I thought
he had grant d Bos for a touchdown on the
twenty one yard line play where he opted to throw
(17:25):
a short route underneath despite this high low progression being
there and de Bos angling back to the quarterback at
the goal line. I also thought he had waddle on
a deep hook on that third and long sack he
took out of the break. Would have been tight, but
I'd rather see him rip that than not in that situation.
I thought he missed a back shoulder wheel to Raheem
Moster in the fourth quarter, just off the mark on
(17:45):
a few throws the layups that are usually so precise.
But he still completed twenty three passes with six drops
on the day for three hundred and thirty eight yards,
So his bad days are ye pretty good too. He
had a big time throw Tyreek Hill with ten minutes
to go in the fourth quarter. Three defenders and this triangle.
He has not even come out of the top of
the stem, yet all within five to seven yards of tyreek.
(18:06):
And he throws this thing well before the throttle down.
When he turns around, the ball is right on him
in that pocket. I had four big time throws from
our guy. Did not have any turnover worthy throws. That's
minimum of B grade just based on that criteria alone.
The way he managed the offense and kept the ball moving,
you know, there's some playmaking, no put in the ball
in harm's way. I'm saying it's probably a B plus
(18:27):
two a game. I would give it an A minus
to hit more of those layups because just had a
couple of misses in the day, right and then of
course the rip on the game winning drive to Waddle.
That thing was tight across the board, perfect ball, great
catch by Waddle, great start to the season for one
our franchise quarterback. Did it again. Fourth quarter, comeback, game
winning drive, all that fun stuff. Let's take our first
break right there, come back and do individual standouts and
misses on the offense. We'll come back and do some
(18:49):
more defense as well. A lot more to come here
on this first All twenty two review podcast of the
new season. Drivetime podcast to your host, Travis Wingfield, brought
to you by I Don't need. We're breaking down some
tape here on September the ninth. I keep saying Tuesday podcast,
but I'm gonna bring this guy, this podcast to you
guys on Monday night. So I hope you're ready ahead
(19:10):
of the Jets losing their home opener or their season
opener and being the only team in the AFC East
at O one one gonna happen. Can't wait for it.
I think the biggest misconception from the game social and
even seeing it live myself, I'm to blame for this
as well, was the play of the offensive line. It's
really good in this game. I thought Austin Jackson was
terrific in space, and so was Aaron Brewer and leam
(19:31):
Meikenberg had critical surge on short yards runs really all
day long. Also did some good work in the screen game.
Armstead was awesome in pass Pro and really good in
the running game as well. Just usual in game intelligence
paired with athletic ability to put that processing that he
possesses to use. It's so fun to watch. He just
consistently made great decisions and cut that B gap off constantly.
(19:51):
On down blocks. Brew was outstanding man. He always found
help and ribs and pass protection. Go get She'll rack
and ribs, my man. Go out in space and clear lanes.
Connection with both the guards, blocking outside the numbers, moving
guys off the football, getting critical blocks on the slip
screens out to the perimeter. Just really, really good stuff.
The one guy that I thought had a rough day
two holding calls and he was bummed about that was
(20:13):
Rob Jones. But I have confidence he'll bounce back again.
Both tackles were left on islands consistently against great pass rushers. Weird, right,
I mean the investment in the tackle position as a
premier spot in this offense is there, and it produced
against Josh Allen Hines and Trayvon Walker. They handled it, man.
I thought Austin's physicality on the perimeter and the second
(20:34):
level was amazing. I do have to mention he did
get positively obliterated by I think it was Walker on
the sack that knock us out of the field goal range,
like just got railroad. He had one bad snap. It
was that one. It was atrocious, but he bounced right
back and had one of the best plays I've ever
seen ever. Ever, ever, ever from a Dolphins offensive lineman.
(20:54):
He stonewalls Josh Allen Hines at the point of attack
and then gets vertical displacement on him. I'm to the
second level the linebacker and on his just puts him
on his back and it was oh ya kun again,
who's a great player too. Like I tweeted about it,
go check it out. It is impressive work from number
seventy three. And I think Liam was super well connected
and coordinated on his angles and when he would catch
(21:15):
a release in the quick game, he would get out there.
It was impressive. I thought Jaylen Waddle was fantastic. What
a tough dude man took that pop caught the football,
caught the slant at the end of the game with
the guy all over his back. I like how he
catches the ball with his hands. I talked about this
law season, didn't I told you he was going to
show up with that. Didn't drop a single football, never
let the ball get into his body. Also, the DPI
was a filthy route where he shook Tyson Campbell, made
(21:36):
him fall over and pull Walla to the ground with him.
Just a really, really good route and a good penalty too,
because if he doesn't do that, Waddle has a one
on one with the safety for a possible touchdown. Then
he finishes with the biggest catch of the game to
get us into plus territory on that final drive and
avoids a third long with the Jags having timeouts, big
big game from the Penguin and then Julian Hill, same
stuff we've grown used to with this guy, just the
(21:58):
worst thing a dB can see screaming around the cours.
I had him with one miss on the first play
of the game, then one after the big wabble play,
but then not again the rest of the day. He
was by far the best tight end or the best
edge in full back, whatever you want to call it.
He was the best guy in that role all game long.
The individual misses, John hu Brother, what the hell the
hell was that on the thirty eight yard eight cham play.
We talked about that cut off, that backside safety and
(22:20):
then you know the poor efforts one thing, but then
we get that screen blocked up where they had a
convoy for him. Both Austin and Lea Meikenberg chucked and
climbed perfectly, teaching tape on the screen game. Julian Hill
has a squared up block on the perimeter, and it's
gonna be John U Smith versus a nickel and a
front side safety with Julian Hill square on that block
against the nickel, and then Eikenberg and Jackson to go
(22:41):
get that safety and then one of the best running
tight ends in the league two and drops the football.
The very next play is off size by a full yard,
Like what an abysmal start. I will say he did
go get that backside safety later on, so he learned
from the mistake. I expect more from Johnny Smith the
rest of the year. That better be the worst game
he plays as a Miami Dolphin. Braxon Burrios, I mean,
I'm over it man one on one, either glued to
(23:03):
a defender or the result of being velkrow to the defenders.
He gets tangled and goes down and we lose in
eligible in the pattern, just totally out of the play.
I'm looking forward to Malik, Craik Craft and Obj and
what this receiving core can be in the future going forward.
I thought Raheem just didn't see it like he usually does,
wasn't as convicted of hitting his tracks and gaps. Thought
Ingold had a rough early start, but bounced back with
some big lane clearing blocks and some really good conversions
(23:24):
on third and short. Thought durham smythe We talked about
it yesterday. Drops, failed blocks, just penalties, really bad game.
My big takeaway though, is I did a good job
putting us into the box that we got put in
last year. And I'm so glad it happened in game
one because we repped it all training camp long. Didn't
start off well, and they went back to the emphasis
they had in training camp to work on those things,
(23:45):
and they figured it out and they won the game.
And we have reinforcements coming to build off of that
and to develop and grow this offense. I was pretty
doom and gloom for two and a half quarters, but
actually I've been flipped to quite the opposite. I think
we're in a great spot now after that game. As
a result. Some fun numbers here. Two was a two
point three to eight second time to throw. Guy that's
right on pace for what he was last year. Four
(24:05):
big time throws, no turnover worthy plays. Six of the
fourteen incompletions were tagged as drops by PFF. I think
that tracks right. John who had one Smith had a
couple we had a back had had one. I believe
Tyreek had won. At one point he was four for
seven against the Blitz, with thirty yards on throws of
twenty plus yards three of six for one sixty four,
(24:26):
a touchdown and a one thirty five passer rating. Weird
also had a DPI to Waddle. We've given you a
baseline for yards per route ran right. Two point zero
is great. Tyreek had three point six to one, Wattle
had two point nine to two, and eight Cham had
three point four to one. But here's your issue again.
The numbers tell you the story here. Barrios zero, Julian
Hill point three to five, John two point four to one,
(24:46):
Smith zero. We just need one more. We need one
more guy in Craik Craft for obj or Malik will
provide that, and it'll probably be more than once. Like
all three of those players. Hefe had three point six
yards after initial contact and two force miss tackles on
just five carries. He also had four man gap runs
to one zone run where Raheem was four to one
(25:07):
in favor of zone and then eight Chan wasn't even
split with four runs man four run zone. But I
love this idea of going fresh hefe Wilson in the
fourth quarter after guys have worn down chasing Raheem and
eight chan sideline the sideline all game long on the
outside zone game and then you come in with fresh legs,
hefe and you go power pull a guard downhill, punch
you in the mouth. I like that recipe. I like
(25:29):
this guy. I really like this guy. Okay, that's a
I think you should leave offshoot pressures. T Stead, Liam
and Austin were all charged with one, so was alec
Ingold four pressures on forty one drop backs. Weird defensively,
I just just like the offense. It was the halftime
adjustments for me. The Jags were able to run it
(25:51):
very successfully. Early on, they'd create one on one situations
for the back on the perimeter and win those, or
they'd get doubles and washed down inside and force our
and safeties to play through traffic to make tackles, and
they couldn't do it early on. And then in passing
situations they'd bring backers but from the stacked positions and
more of like a delay look. And later they started
to mug those guys up and creep them to the line. Scrimmage.
(26:12):
Early and it not only provided confusion in the protection
play like we talked about early in the previews show
last week, but I think it wound up messing with
their gaps in the running game too. They kind of
got Jordan Brooks a few times early on with the
outside run game and the boot action off of that,
and he's a key fiend. He wants to read keys
and go get it, so if he's not seeing it
well at any given time, you might get some reps
(26:33):
where his fit looks off and it causes a big
bust in the running game. But after a slow start,
I thought he really got things going really the entire
middle of the field. On defense, they got consistent washed
down inside, consistent displacement in the middle of the field,
and the hook zones. In the passing game, they overloaded
single players with conflict and Lawrence was seeing it and
ripping it early before Miami changed the picture. So a
good first half hats on our back foot, But then
(26:55):
he just didn't and it began on the first pass
of the second half, third and five, walking up two
backers to bring them in the A gaps with Long
and Brooks. They drop JP off the edge and it
creates this Brooks matchup on the back. It creates a Yeah,
Brooks match up on the back, one that he wins,
and it heats up Trevor Lawrence to throw hot into
this coverage rep with javon On Evan Ingram outside and
(27:17):
it's just excellent technique by the snow man. He plays
the man, drives on his movement, swipes at the hands
and gets the pass breakup. It's his first game changing
play of the day because it won the possession back
for us. He would have one later on too. Two
plays of total team effort to me punctuate the overall
effort of the team, and they were back to back.
So Seeler gets totally washed out, washes out the guard,
(27:38):
i should say, and brought the tackle down with him
on this third and one play, which creates a lane
for David Long to hit, and boy did he. He
also got Ogba and Campbell both getting knocked back and
Jordan Poyer filled his spot too. Just great team football.
And that was before the first play of the fourth
quarter the Jags. Atrocious play call by the way on
fourth and one, but Ogba gets out standing pursuit side,
(28:00):
amazing work on a double team by Jordan Brooks to
run out wide and force Etn to know I don't
have this, I have to bounce it back. Ramsey had
a great fill and then it was pursuit time. All
eleven hats were at the numbers or outside of that
to the field, and that's why I thought, oh no,
he's gonna get a first down and then some and frankly,
the only reason I thought they did get back was
because Jalen Phillips comes shot out of a cannon. Remember
(28:23):
that play against the Packers when he chased down Aaron
Rodgers from the wrong side of the field and got
him down short of the sticks. It was like that
because it forced ETN to bubble back like three or
four yards. And that is all the time you need
for Jalen Ramsey, for Kalais Campbell, Jordan Poyer, Kendall four,
David Long, they all get there and arrive at the
same time. What a damn play. Then the last drive,
Long had a great trigger to go get it. After
(28:43):
Ogbab beats a split flow cut block, then he has
to cross face of the pass rush Ogbab does to
win on that second down play and then JP finishes
it off with an excellent effort and power to push
the pocket from the outside. More on that in a moment.
But the way this team just kind of came together
on defense and they all got wins was so impressive.
Let's take our last break right there, come back and
do the defensive individual standouts. We'll do some numbers and
(29:06):
snap counts, some misses, a lot more to come your
way here on the Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,
brought to you by AutoNation, we talked about some of
the guys in the play so far. Let's go ahead
and get to the individuals here. First guy up is
Kalais Campbell, whose first two snaps I just wrote, Lol.
He hems in an athletic quarterback in space off of
a free run, and I thought the tackle for loss
(29:27):
was even more impressive. Swim redirect gets tripped by split flow,
lays out and makes the play going to the ground
just absurd movement ability for a guy that size. Outside
of that, he consistently dented his gap, clogged things up,
made backstop their feet. What a debut for Kaleis Campbell.
DeShawn hand consistently held his water, had good gap control.
You'd see them connect and then bring the combo block
(29:49):
and it wouldn't budge him. He just stood his ground
like Stan Marsh, important player in the rotation. He did
his thing. Yesterday. Jalen Phillips was throwing different moves. I
saw power, straight speed, speed to power, cross chop, double swipe,
dip and rip, and he was kind of filling it out.
And then it started to pay off in that second
half where he got a pressure throw away with that
dip and rip move. And man, the way he reduces
(30:10):
the arc by rushing the outside shoulder of the tackle
and running through that contact and resetting him back upfield
is what makes him special. Special. It reduces the step
up lane and helps him play outside content at the
same time. Watch him when you played the Buffalo Bills
on Thursday, how valuable that is against Josh Allen. Manuel
Ogbah was big in this game. He played with power
off the edge all day, great rep on the sack
(30:31):
to cross face, swipe the hands and finished through the quarterback.
He had some effective rushes throughout the day. David Long.
I thought a couple of times he and JB shot
the same gap and were conflicted that way. I think
they'll have to endure some growing pains as they work
out their chemistry. It takes some time, but my goodness,
what a football player he is. He made back to
back plays on the Jags four and out series where
(30:52):
he came from the middle of the field to make
a tackle short of the sticks on second down. Then
that third and one play he blew up that I
talked about earlier, playing fast and physical, sea his keys
and going at it. Man, what a fun player to watch.
I thought. Kendall Floyd played really well too, the best
of all the corners for my money. He played off
the blocks or off the backs, i should say, of
their breaks, and got underneath some of those routes like
(31:12):
plays where the ball doesn't come his way because he
has good coverage. He only saw two targets all game long.
I thought he showed good feel in zone and was
active in communicating things that he was seeing like they
would be he'd be on the backside of play, kind
of like pointing out things to the front side. Just
a good communicator and guy that's seen a lot of football.
And then Javon Holland won a freaking game for him.
Talked about him earlier with the coverage play the fumble.
If he tries to wrap up there, it's probably a touchdown.
(31:33):
Best case scenario, it's first and goal at the one.
But you put your fist on the football and you
change the entire tone of this podcast, in this entire
football team, because you probably lose that game if he
doesn't make that play. So missus I had a lot
of them too on defense. So Ramsey on the opening
that first Jags touchdown drive, loses contail on the outside,
takes a stiff arm on what should have been a
no game instead it goes for twenty. Then he seems
(31:54):
to have no real urgency getting depth on the Brian
Thomas Junior DPI in the end zone. Just let himself
get out of face and didn't hustle back until it
was too late, And that's always going to be an
underthrow DPI if you do that. Sealer got washed out consistently,
one of the games that I thought he was least
productive in with Miami Dolphins. Couldn't get a feel for
his fits and couldn't contain gap control. He'll get there,
but it just was a slow start. Jordan Poyer on
(32:15):
the first pass of the game drops a Room Service
pick that Christian Kirk drop. We were not connected at
all there, and I can't put it on Poe because
I think he was robbing from that too high post
snap rotation. And the jagsks a couple of times with
this by adding conflict to one player to go in
two directions, which is what offense is. That's what you're
supposed to do, and it just seemed like it was
Poyer most of the time, including the touchdown pass, beautiful
(32:37):
throw and catch, but he was kind of caught no
man's land the play before that too, the thirty yard
play to Christian Kirk. He widens and makes this read
super easy for Lawrence and again I know that this
is cover two and he has to get over the
top of the vertical, but you see Kendall full turn
his man free and Poe just widens and makes this
throat in the middle so easy, and it's the easiest
throw in the progression, like right over the football. You know,
(32:59):
is he cheating over there because he's lost a step?
I don't know, but you can't do this against better offenses.
I'm pretty concerned about cater Co, who doesn't seem to
have a real feel in space or when the route
stem is going to end. There was like just no
anticipation for when that break's coming. He also missed a
tackle off the edge, which is his game, So you know,
I didn't see him crashing with the reckless abandon we
saw in that first year. Just doesn't break down a phase.
(33:20):
So it's like a good matchup for the opposing offense
to run back shoulder and go conversions against him because
he doesn't have a feel for We saw it last year,
saw it again on Sunday. They also ran a two
man combo into a seven man coverage and they run
eat end of the flap and Cater is right there
in good shape, and then he just starts getting depth
for no reason, and Lawrence throws the check down and
it's an easy walk in the park. Twelve yards wasn't
(33:41):
a good game for him. Some fun numbers here, Brooks,
Long and Campbell all had three stops each. Phillip's hand
and Fuller and Ogball all had two. Phillips led the
team with three pressures, Ogball had two. Fuller played twenty
eight coverage snaps allowed just eighteen yards. Ramsey was not
targeted outside of the DPI he allowed. Cater had to
twenty five coverage snaps and sixty seven yards allowed. So
(34:02):
that's the spot they're going to have to figure out
in this defense, whether it's Cater or somebody else. My
top tapes, I just thought the offensive guys were a
little bit more consistent as the game went along, even
though the defense closed it so strong. The individual tapes
to me, were a little bit more in favor of
the offense. That's why it goes like this. Aaron Brewer
is my top tape of the entire game. He was terrific.
Austin Jackson was nipping at his heels, but the one
(34:24):
sack he gave up was pretty brutal, so he falls
a second. Tyreek Hill was third. I mean, what can
you say about that guy? I have kalay As Campbell fourth.
He was impactful all game long from the opening whistle.
And then fifth is tu Watunga Bailoa. The other guys
that were right there for me, like right on the
cusp where Jalen Waddle, Tron Armstead, Jalen Phillips, David Long,
and Javon Hollands. So I had ten, I'd whittled down
(34:47):
to five. Told you the other five as well. I
had to put two in there because our top rusher
had twenty six yards and we still had four hundred
yards offense. That's a two as stat. Okay, some snap counts.
What we learned from that, it's always fantastic sick when
your offensive line and quarterback play one hundred percent of
the snaps. That was the case here today on Sunday.
I should say Waddle and Hill both played fifty one
and fifty snaps. That was seventy two and seventy percent
(35:09):
of the snaps, and then Braxon Barrios was next to
thirty seven percent among the receivers. I think that will
change when we get guys back, but I would reduce
that thirty seven number down quite a lot to bos
and chosen word eighteen and seventeen percent. In the game,
the tight end split was fascinating. Julian Hill played sixty percent,
Durham forty two, and John U twenty eight. Just a
nightmare debut for him. I think that will shake out
(35:30):
more towards John Whu and Julian As I said all
camp long, a chan is going to lead backs and
snaps because of the receiver played. But he played fifty
two percent Raheem forty four. Hefe fifteen percent, and Alex
Ingld out there for forty percent. It's a good mix, man.
It's going to be at rotation heavy offensive skill groups
this whole year. On defense. Brooks and Long are the guys,
and we knew that one hundred percent for them, same
with Holland and Poe one hundred percent for them, same
(35:52):
with Fuller, and would have been for Ramsey if he's healthy. Right,
but Fuller goes the distance. Ramsey plays thirty nine of fifty.
I don't think you get much changes with that group
of the entire year. Maybe some more Marcus May we
shall see. Zach Steeler is your bell cow. He's going
to be your justin. Mattabeke upfront if you will. Eighty
seven percent of the snaps. Kalays Campbell was a second
among the defensive tackles sixty six percent, and then to
Sean Hand thirty six. That seems to be the rotation
(36:14):
will get all year long. If you ask me. Peeley
played five snaps, Benito played eight. I do think Benito
plays more of those thirteen total snaps than what he did,
and when he's fully healthy. Cater Co, who played eighty
nine percent, which is telling for how they view the
cornerback spot. Storm Duck was next at eight and it
makes you wonder where Ethan Bonner is in the rotation
or Cam Smith when he gets back. Finally, off the edge,
(36:35):
Phillips and Agba played forty and thirty four snaps. I
think Phillips is going to be in Sealer's territory when
he's full go. And then Chop and Quinton both played
thirty percent. I think that will tilt more towards the
rookie as we go along. There you go. The first

What is up, Dolphans And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.
I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
don't just feel good, don't just feel good to be back.
We have an all twenty two tape to break down,
and I am just fired up to be here. Little
Steve Balmer for you there, almost forgot his name. A
little bit of a new format here on the A
(00:47):
twenty two podcast. We'll talk in more general terms on
both offense and defense. We're gonna talk about the quarterback
every week two or otherwise. We'll highlight the standouts, talk
about the misses, and we'll issue our top five tapes
and go inside the numbers and snap counts. A heck
of a lot more busy Monday night, Tuesday morning episode
from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
(01:08):
This is the Draft On podcast. We're gonna start, as
we do on these Tuesday shows, with the offense and
we'll cover some more general points off the top here,
because in terms of the personnel usage, I think we're
just beginning to scratch the surface of what this offense
(01:28):
can do and what it can look like and the many,
many shapes that it can take. We had two tailbacks
and this does not include alec Ingold, who's a fullback. Obviously,
fifty two percent of the time, two fullbacks on the field,
and no other team heading into Monday Night Football, which
the Niners are part of, but I doubt they do
that with McCaffrey being the guy there. No other team
(01:48):
was over thirty three percent, and this is what I
was looking for with regards to the receiver's room being
so banged up. But I think you also still saw
what we can do when we get our guys back,
like Craig Craft to Malik Washington and obviously the big
one Odell Beckham Junior. Because there was still twenty snaps
from eleven personnel it's three wide receivers, and now fourteen
(02:09):
of those were in the first half. But I thought
that was part of the second half adjustment, get out
of that package that brings quite frankly lesser players onto
the field. That split with the two back personnel was
thirty five percent twenty one personnel that is two backs
and one tight end, and then seventeen percent twenty two personnel,
which is two backs and two tight ends and just
(02:30):
one wide receiver on the field. To me, that is
how you combat the lack of depth you have right
now at wide receiver, because for me, right now, the
Dolphins have two receivers worth throwing targets too that are
active and healthy, and that should change when Malik gets
back and OBJ and Craikraft won't be back before what
is it, Week four, so you're gonna have to content
with that over the next couple of weeks. We have
the toughest game in the first part of the schedule
(02:51):
coming up on Thursday, but I feel pretty good about
Miami's ability to win the following three games with the
personnel and the makeup. The way it is, get this
game in Thursday in Buffalo, and you get through the
restless schedule, go into the bye week unbeaten, and get
guys back. I think that's a very scary thought for
the rest of the NFL. But first, let's go ahead
and break down this Jacksonville tape. I do think that
(03:13):
eleven personnel grouping was more by necessity as we were
in these you know, long down and distances, and the
threat of the run really goes away when you have that. Thus,
two backs does you no good unless you're literally using
them as a wide receiver, which again was the case
with a Cham. But I think that when you're in
third and twelve, him as a receiver kind of loses
(03:33):
some of its luster because the cats out of the bag.
There's no creativity in terms of do we use him
as a runner here? Is it more of a motion
like decoy because he's a true wide receiver at that point,
And I don't think that's where his true value is.
It's in the complexity and diversity and package defensive package
confusion it creates, not just a true wide receiver, although
I think at the current makeup, I do believe he
(03:55):
is the third best. Even with all that said, but
we ran eleven personnel just a level seven percent of
first downs and just nine point five percent on second downs.
It was mostly those third long situations. Now, the first
fourth down play is an example of how quite frankly
undermanned we are at that position. The personnel was Waddle,
who was bracketed. I would do the exact same thing,
(04:16):
just like the Ravens and Bills, And well, they didn't
brack at Walla. They breck it tyrek in those games.
But the Cowboys and the Titan like, that's what teams
did to us last year because of the exact same situation.
And then you had Debo's chosen Barrios Connor and a
chan on the field. Barrios was open and I love
the design, a little short motion out of the backfield
Texas route back across the face of the linebacker. But
(04:38):
I thought Tua was late on the read. I think
that he wanted a chan on a vertical shot up
up the sideline, but the cornerback got right back into
phase as you saw Tua's helmet go that way, so
I think it caused a little bit of a hitch.
And then he throws it just a beat late, and
I'm going to give it a breakup because the hand
was in there. It was not a drop pass like
it was clearly a defensive back breakup on that play.
(05:00):
I chalk that one up to Tua, but also have
a note in the back of my mind like this
personnel is not good enough. To win. I wouldn't go
for fourth downs if I have that kind of personnel.
That's just me. We saw Barrios, Tyreek, watt Ole, Johnnu
and Tanner in the backfield at different points of the game.
Talk about using your versatility, and we talk about Anthony
Weaver's defense being this positionless attack where guys can line
(05:20):
up in different spots and know their rush patterns from
those spots. The offense kind of looks like that too,
man Like, it's crazy to see how many different guys
can line up in different alignments on this offense. Now,
excuse me as far as the misses, I get the
mo when things go wrong is who do we have
to replace? Right? But it's why I urge fans of
(05:41):
any team in this league, in this sport. It is
a very esoteric game that I don't expect you guys
to sit here and grind tape and come up with
your thoughts in all fifty three players. But it's the
whole concept of like one bad play, gotta get a
new guy in that position is just not how it's
ever going to work. Because when you watch these plays,
just have a little bit of patience to understand, like
(06:02):
it's one thing that went wrong. That was all it was.
Because on the thirty nine yard play to Devon a
Cham and that deep miss to Tyreek Hill early on,
we were just one assignment off on those plays from
being long touchdowns, and both of them were actually from
the f position. A miss in protection off the edge
by alec Ingold on the deep shot where I thought
he had the chance to get back into the line
(06:23):
of sight for the quarterback and that edge rusher, but
that kind of forced to it to roll his shoulders
and miss that throw because he was trying to protect
himself as we want him to do. And then there
was also a failure down the field to cut off
the backside safety on that long a Cham play by
John new Smith, and the effort was like, come on, dude,
what are you doing, Like get out there. He just
jogged after the block, and if he makes that block,
(06:45):
a chance scores in that play, no doubt about it.
Alec on the short motion pivot back just it was
clear what he had on that play with Devin Lloyd,
but he just couldn't get his footwork back under him
as he sifted back outside. It's not an effort thing,
so I can't get two down him for that, Like
you can get mad about effort, but Alex just couldn't
get wide and too had to roll the shoulders and
miss that throw. So a couple of just minor misses
(07:07):
cost you fourteen points in the game early on. In
my opinion, I also felt like the quick game rhythm
was broken up for two reasons. Number one, they did
a great job Jacksonville of taking it away on a
few plays those robber brackets they would play underneath trail
and funnel into safety help and bracket Tyreek or Waddle
or sometimes even john Smith. It was a priority over
(07:29):
the middle of the football, over the field, middle of
the field, over the top of the football to bracket
those routes because we do so well in those areas,
clearly a point of contention, but also too when they
didn't do it, we just couldn't separate because the same
damn issues as last season with Chosen and Brax and
Durham and now Debos whatever the hell Johnny was doing,
that's not going to be good enough, and we don't
(07:50):
get the new guys back and playing at their full capacity,
or if we don't adjust the plan with the personnel
we've got I'm not sure how much you can do
to overcome, you know, bad slayers, Like you can scheme
around bad offensive line play. I've been saying that for
the whole damn offseason. But you can't scheme around receivers
that can't get open and guys that have no explosiveness.
Then you get shut down by the more athletic defensive
(08:11):
backs every single time. Then you'll have the same issues
you had down the stretch last year. It's that simple.
That's the biggest thing they're gonna have to contend with
over these first four or five weeks. Again, I'm grateful
the schedule is what it is, but I think there's
no excuse even with all that, to not be at
least four and one at the bye week. But that,
to me, is going to be the biggest hurdle to
get to that point. And to the point about robbers,
(08:34):
Do you guys know what robbers are? So essentially a
robber isn't a too high structure and one will pivot
back to the post to take away the middle of
the field and the other safety. The robber will come
down and try to pick off crossing routes. It's called robbing.
The crossing route basically, so they play that deep hook
and take away crossers and deep hook routes by you know,
interior receivers. So to the point about robbers, they also
(08:54):
do this thing where they would peel the backside linebacker
to the front side crosser the slants like on the
double slam on that fourth down failure, A Luacun. How
do you say it? I think it's foya sat a
Luacun on that fourth down did this masterfully and you
just don't typically account for a guy in your front
side count from the backside. But now it's on tape,
so they know they can see that and have plans
(09:15):
to work around it when it does happen. I think
at some point we're gonna get a wrinkle off of
that escort screen where you have the lead blocker like
upfield and then the running back behind the line of
scrimmage and two throws it to the backman because at
a certain point in this game, and a lot of
teams do this. The Dolphins didn't do it last year,
but the Rams and the Niners incorporated this escort swing route.
What you saw a lot with the Jaguars in this
(09:36):
game was they would just basically turn the front guy
free knowing he's a blocker. There is definitely a throw
down the field, kind of like the fake screen. Like
remember back in the day, you'd fake the bubble screen
and throw the ball to the fake block down the field.
I think we score a touchdown in the two thousand
and eight finale against the Jets to Anthony Fossano doing that.
If not mistaken, Dolphins institutional knowledge is why you come
to the Draft Time podcast, baby. But I think we
have a chance to throw a wrinkle in off of
(09:57):
that with that look and then finally more or just
general offense. I think Jeff Wilson and what he showed
that he can be kind of akin to the Rams
and what they've done with Kyron Williams, who's this really
good outside zone runner, but he also has a lot
of good vision and conviction and power inside to go
run power. What's power, Travis, It's man gap schemes where
you pull a backside guard, you get down blocks hat
(10:19):
on a hat and you try to just blow him
off the football and get knocked back. The lines did
it in the Sunday Night game and overtime. Just push
the Rams off the football and won that game. We
did it in the fourth quarter here against the Jacksonville Jaguars,
power eye formation, some real nineteen nineties throwback stuff, and
that's just what Jeff did on the fourteen yard run
with power, conviction, attitude and an offensive line that feeds
(10:40):
off that energy. My either note about the offense here
is devon ah Chan's usage really enjoyed the creative ways
to get him the football in space. He had a
twenty yard catch and run with a short motion tyreek
out and then he ran the swing from the pistol
and it clears out this entire area besides one poor linebacker,
one poor soul out there just left to have his
(11:00):
jockstrap left on the turf. And that's exactly what happens,
because you have no chance to get this guy down
in an open patch of grass. He lined up as
a receiver eight Chan did on forty percent of his snaps,
Eleven of the seventeen came from the slot, and he
also caught all seven targets for seventy six yards and
made four tacklers miss as a receiver. We've been talking
about this here. It is a Chan the receiver. It's
(11:23):
a big, big deal. For this team, and it's going
to be more going forward. Let's go ahead and do
a no huddle big play round up. Last year we
kicked off the tape with the explosive plays, but we're
gonna do this in quick succession here because I want
to just break down these critical plays in quick succession
before we get into the rest of the individual's successes
and go ahead and cue some music here. So a
(11:44):
chance thirty nine yard catch and run on the opening play,
great run by Devan, fantastic blocks by both Liam and
Austin who got out in space as they did all
day long. And a great job by the receivers both
Burrios and Waddle hitting key blocks. So Liam, Austin, Burios,
Wattle a Chan, good job boys on the eight chan
touchdown run. A brilliant design on the pivot full back dive.
(12:07):
And this is why I love this offense so much,
because Tua's pivot footwork operates in unison with Tyreek Hill,
who runs the orbit reverse action that holds this backside
end for just a beat. And if you watch this play,
Trayvon Walker had the b gap dead to rights if
he wants to shoot it. But because of that action
because of the footwork and the front side motion he's
(12:28):
keying that he takes one step upfield, and that's all
a chan needs to penetrate that b gap. As a
play caller, you are a storyteller. You're a poker player.
Your bluff must make sense every step of the way.
And that was a well crafted story, a well crafted
bluff there from Mike McDaniel and Frank Smith. Jalen Wattle's
sixty three yard reception. One hitch footwork with a little
(12:49):
bit of a shoulder roll pump to Tyreek and at
that glance you see that backside safety say, oh cool,
pick coming my way. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It gives Waddle
all the space he needs in that deep crosser from
the other side of the formation and just a perfect
ball from doing with Dongabailoa and the pass pro. What
(13:10):
a work of art. You had, full extension, lockout across
the board, right tackle Austin Jackson, jump sets Josh Allen Hines.
You get Liam Miikenberg locking down Mason Smith. You get
Tyler Lacey going nowhere against Aaron Brewer, who is in
the top five tapes. Is he number one? He might be.
He's locked out in that rep and then the front
side action creates this flow that puts the Jags other
(13:31):
part of the pass rush completely out of the play
as well. So design, scheme, execution all across the board
thing of beauty Tyreek Hill for eighty yards. The way
he attacks space and presses the toes of defensive backs
is the most underrated aspect of anybody's game in the
entire National Football League. He's just so fashion gets wide open,
nah bro. He's one of the most detailed route runners
in the entire damn game. And he showed it right
(13:52):
here where he widened or got more depth on this
route to push Andre Cisco back, get him on his heels,
and when he sees that, it feels that then he
rips that thing horizontally across the field and that just
creates this extra bit of separation. And with Tua being
so perfect, that's why he's able to erase that angle
because of his nuance, because of Tua's timing and accuracy,
(14:13):
and then the Cheetah takes over from there. Just beautiful football.
I love professional football when it's played at this level.
Let's pick it back up here and get into the
quarterback to a tongue Bai Loa's game. We're always going
to do a portion on the quarterback during these shows,
whether it's whether it's tu Us Collar Thompson or otherwise.
So the opening drive deep shot the Tyreek is very
well covered. But we've covered it well, I should say.
(14:35):
But you see the rush fan out and leave the
middle wide open. And I mentioned this because Tua would
later exploit it in the game, and that was kind
of the theme of the entire game. A new DC
on the other side, you absorb their opening punch. They
have a game plan that you have no clue what
it's going to be. You're not sure what you're going
to get from that, and they've found out on the fly.
It's like when you are golf reference incoming, when you're
(15:00):
on the driving range and you don't have your swing.
You think it's gonna be a bad day, but you
find it on the course. That's a testament of a
great golfer. And I think it applies to football, especially
on the offensive side. You find out what they're gonna
do as the game goes along. Four total pressures on
forty one dropbacks. Weird, How did that happen against a
great pass rush weird, and I think a lot of
(15:20):
that was Tua's mastery of the offense because we saw
it all day. And this is why I make this point.
I'm not telling you the offensive line is some five
group of all pros. It's because the offense works this way.
He just saw it play out. It was like first read, bang,
second read, onto the next, then get the ball up
and down to that third or fourth read based upon
the information you gathered from the early part of your progression.
(15:40):
It is working like clockwork. I've never seen him scan
faster than I did in this game, like scan the post,
the seam, than the escort swing. Just boom boom boom.
Ball is out two point five seconds and mitigate any
pass rush they might have. I think we saw how
well he just knows this offense, even early on in
the game when things were not going smoothly. He wasn't
really put in a lot of positions to play make
(16:00):
early on in the game tons of quick game. But
I thought vintage Tua showed up on that third and
eight strike to Jalen Waddle on the first touchdown drive
of the day. They're in this too high safety look
outside leverage and you see Wattle and Tua kind of
have a hand signal communication and a great job by
Waddle to take this inside release, get the cornerback out
of phase, create the blind spot back to the perimeter,
(16:22):
which is where you want to throw the ball, make
him blind to that, and then round that route off.
And right when he gets around that round off, the
ball is right there because Tua throws the thing before
he's out of the break, layers it right on time,
right on the money. That's a big time throw. Man.
If we don't get that, we're kicking the ball back
away to Jacksonville down by fourteen. With them getting the
ball at halftime, the game could have gotten away from
you if you didn't hit that play, but they did.
(16:44):
And then a few plays later it's third and six
after durhams my little start. But Tyreek this play is
just as great because they're condensed space to the short
side of the field the boundary, and they run this
return motion where Tyreek comes in, goes back out and
he makes his break well before the ball or with
the ball well in the air, and it's perfectly located
(17:04):
on the outside shoulder away from this driving defender who's
thinking pick six all the way, not when that quarterback's
throwing that ball buster brown high level quarterback play on
that drive. He did have a couple of misses that
were used to that we're not used to, I should say,
in that first half. Earlier in that drive, I thought
he had grant d Bos for a touchdown on the
twenty one yard line play where he opted to throw
(17:25):
a short route underneath despite this high low progression being
there and de Bos angling back to the quarterback at
the goal line. I also thought he had waddle on
a deep hook on that third and long sack he
took out of the break. Would have been tight, but
I'd rather see him rip that than not in that situation.
I thought he missed a back shoulder wheel to Raheem
Moster in the fourth quarter, just off the mark on
(17:45):
a few throws the layups that are usually so precise.
But he still completed twenty three passes with six drops
on the day for three hundred and thirty eight yards,
So his bad days are ye pretty good too. He
had a big time throw Tyreek Hill with ten minutes
to go in the fourth quarter. Three defenders and this triangle.
He has not even come out of the top of
the stem, yet all within five to seven yards of tyreek.
(18:06):
And he throws this thing well before the throttle down.
When he turns around, the ball is right on him
in that pocket. I had four big time throws from
our guy. Did not have any turnover worthy throws. That's
minimum of B grade just based on that criteria alone.
The way he managed the offense and kept the ball moving,
you know, there's some playmaking, no put in the ball
in harm's way. I'm saying it's probably a B plus
(18:27):
two a game. I would give it an A minus
to hit more of those layups because just had a
couple of misses in the day, right and then of
course the rip on the game winning drive to Waddle.
That thing was tight across the board, perfect ball, great
catch by Waddle, great start to the season for one
our franchise quarterback. Did it again. Fourth quarter, comeback, game
winning drive, all that fun stuff. Let's take our first
break right there, come back and do individual standouts and
misses on the offense. We'll come back and do some
(18:49):
more defense as well. A lot more to come here
on this first All twenty two review podcast of the
new season. Drivetime podcast to your host, Travis Wingfield, brought
to you by I Don't need. We're breaking down some
tape here on September the ninth. I keep saying Tuesday podcast,
but I'm gonna bring this guy, this podcast to you
guys on Monday night. So I hope you're ready ahead
(19:10):
of the Jets losing their home opener or their season
opener and being the only team in the AFC East
at O one one gonna happen. Can't wait for it.
I think the biggest misconception from the game social and
even seeing it live myself, I'm to blame for this
as well, was the play of the offensive line. It's
really good in this game. I thought Austin Jackson was
terrific in space, and so was Aaron Brewer and leam
(19:31):
Meikenberg had critical surge on short yards runs really all
day long. Also did some good work in the screen game.
Armstead was awesome in pass Pro and really good in
the running game as well. Just usual in game intelligence
paired with athletic ability to put that processing that he
possesses to use. It's so fun to watch. He just
consistently made great decisions and cut that B gap off constantly.
(19:51):
On down blocks. Brew was outstanding man. He always found
help and ribs and pass protection. Go get She'll rack
and ribs, my man. Go out in space and clear lanes.
Connection with both the guards, blocking outside the numbers, moving
guys off the football, getting critical blocks on the slip
screens out to the perimeter. Just really, really good stuff.
The one guy that I thought had a rough day
two holding calls and he was bummed about that was
(20:13):
Rob Jones. But I have confidence he'll bounce back again.
Both tackles were left on islands consistently against great pass rushers. Weird, right,
I mean the investment in the tackle position as a
premier spot in this offense is there, and it produced
against Josh Allen Hines and Trayvon Walker. They handled it, man.
I thought Austin's physicality on the perimeter and the second
(20:34):
level was amazing. I do have to mention he did
get positively obliterated by I think it was Walker on
the sack that knock us out of the field goal range,
like just got railroad. He had one bad snap. It
was that one. It was atrocious, but he bounced right
back and had one of the best plays I've ever
seen ever. Ever, ever, ever from a Dolphins offensive lineman.
(20:54):
He stonewalls Josh Allen Hines at the point of attack
and then gets vertical displacement on him. I'm to the
second level the linebacker and on his just puts him
on his back and it was oh ya kun again,
who's a great player too. Like I tweeted about it,
go check it out. It is impressive work from number
seventy three. And I think Liam was super well connected
and coordinated on his angles and when he would catch
(21:15):
a release in the quick game, he would get out there.
It was impressive. I thought Jaylen Waddle was fantastic. What
a tough dude man took that pop caught the football,
caught the slant at the end of the game with
the guy all over his back. I like how he
catches the ball with his hands. I talked about this
law season, didn't I told you he was going to
show up with that. Didn't drop a single football, never
let the ball get into his body. Also, the DPI
was a filthy route where he shook Tyson Campbell, made
(21:36):
him fall over and pull Walla to the ground with him.
Just a really, really good route and a good penalty too,
because if he doesn't do that, Waddle has a one
on one with the safety for a possible touchdown. Then
he finishes with the biggest catch of the game to
get us into plus territory on that final drive and
avoids a third long with the Jags having timeouts, big
big game from the Penguin and then Julian Hill, same
stuff we've grown used to with this guy, just the
(21:58):
worst thing a dB can see screaming around the cours.
I had him with one miss on the first play
of the game, then one after the big wabble play,
but then not again the rest of the day. He
was by far the best tight end or the best
edge in full back, whatever you want to call it.
He was the best guy in that role all game long.
The individual misses, John hu Brother, what the hell the
hell was that on the thirty eight yard eight cham play.
We talked about that cut off, that backside safety and
(22:20):
then you know the poor efforts one thing, but then
we get that screen blocked up where they had a
convoy for him. Both Austin and Lea Meikenberg chucked and
climbed perfectly, teaching tape on the screen game. Julian Hill
has a squared up block on the perimeter, and it's
gonna be John U Smith versus a nickel and a
front side safety with Julian Hill square on that block
against the nickel, and then Eikenberg and Jackson to go
(22:41):
get that safety and then one of the best running
tight ends in the league two and drops the football.
The very next play is off size by a full yard,
Like what an abysmal start. I will say he did
go get that backside safety later on, so he learned
from the mistake. I expect more from Johnny Smith the
rest of the year. That better be the worst game
he plays as a Miami Dolphin. Braxon Burrios, I mean,
I'm over it man one on one, either glued to
(23:03):
a defender or the result of being velkrow to the defenders.
He gets tangled and goes down and we lose in
eligible in the pattern, just totally out of the play.
I'm looking forward to Malik, Craik Craft and Obj and
what this receiving core can be in the future going forward.
I thought Raheem just didn't see it like he usually does,
wasn't as convicted of hitting his tracks and gaps. Thought
Ingold had a rough early start, but bounced back with
some big lane clearing blocks and some really good conversions
(23:24):
on third and short. Thought durham smythe We talked about
it yesterday. Drops, failed blocks, just penalties, really bad game.
My big takeaway though, is I did a good job
putting us into the box that we got put in
last year. And I'm so glad it happened in game
one because we repped it all training camp long. Didn't
start off well, and they went back to the emphasis
they had in training camp to work on those things,
(23:45):
and they figured it out and they won the game.
And we have reinforcements coming to build off of that
and to develop and grow this offense. I was pretty
doom and gloom for two and a half quarters, but
actually I've been flipped to quite the opposite. I think
we're in a great spot now after that game. As
a result. Some fun numbers here. Two was a two
point three to eight second time to throw. Guy that's
right on pace for what he was last year. Four
(24:05):
big time throws, no turnover worthy plays. Six of the
fourteen incompletions were tagged as drops by PFF. I think
that tracks right. John who had one Smith had a
couple we had a back had had one. I believe
Tyreek had won. At one point he was four for
seven against the Blitz, with thirty yards on throws of
twenty plus yards three of six for one sixty four,
(24:26):
a touchdown and a one thirty five passer rating. Weird
also had a DPI to Waddle. We've given you a
baseline for yards per route ran right. Two point zero
is great. Tyreek had three point six to one, Wattle
had two point nine to two, and eight Cham had
three point four to one. But here's your issue again.
The numbers tell you the story here. Barrios zero, Julian
Hill point three to five, John two point four to one,
(24:46):
Smith zero. We just need one more. We need one
more guy in Craik Craft for obj or Malik will
provide that, and it'll probably be more than once. Like
all three of those players. Hefe had three point six
yards after initial contact and two force miss tackles on
just five carries. He also had four man gap runs
to one zone run where Raheem was four to one
(25:07):
in favor of zone and then eight Chan wasn't even
split with four runs man four run zone. But I
love this idea of going fresh hefe Wilson in the
fourth quarter after guys have worn down chasing Raheem and
eight chan sideline the sideline all game long on the
outside zone game and then you come in with fresh legs,
hefe and you go power pull a guard downhill, punch
you in the mouth. I like that recipe. I like
(25:29):
this guy. I really like this guy. Okay, that's a
I think you should leave offshoot pressures. T Stead, Liam
and Austin were all charged with one, so was alec
Ingold four pressures on forty one drop backs. Weird defensively,
I just just like the offense. It was the halftime
adjustments for me. The Jags were able to run it
(25:51):
very successfully. Early on, they'd create one on one situations
for the back on the perimeter and win those, or
they'd get doubles and washed down inside and force our
and safeties to play through traffic to make tackles, and
they couldn't do it early on. And then in passing
situations they'd bring backers but from the stacked positions and
more of like a delay look. And later they started
to mug those guys up and creep them to the line. Scrimmage.
(26:12):
Early and it not only provided confusion in the protection
play like we talked about early in the previews show
last week, but I think it wound up messing with
their gaps in the running game too. They kind of
got Jordan Brooks a few times early on with the
outside run game and the boot action off of that,
and he's a key fiend. He wants to read keys
and go get it, so if he's not seeing it
well at any given time, you might get some reps
(26:33):
where his fit looks off and it causes a big
bust in the running game. But after a slow start,
I thought he really got things going really the entire
middle of the field. On defense, they got consistent washed
down inside, consistent displacement in the middle of the field,
and the hook zones. In the passing game, they overloaded
single players with conflict and Lawrence was seeing it and
ripping it early before Miami changed the picture. So a
good first half hats on our back foot, But then
(26:55):
he just didn't and it began on the first pass
of the second half, third and five, walking up two
backers to bring them in the A gaps with Long
and Brooks. They drop JP off the edge and it
creates this Brooks matchup on the back. It creates a Yeah,
Brooks match up on the back, one that he wins,
and it heats up Trevor Lawrence to throw hot into
this coverage rep with javon On Evan Ingram outside and
(27:17):
it's just excellent technique by the snow man. He plays
the man, drives on his movement, swipes at the hands
and gets the pass breakup. It's his first game changing
play of the day because it won the possession back
for us. He would have one later on too. Two
plays of total team effort to me punctuate the overall
effort of the team, and they were back to back.
So Seeler gets totally washed out, washes out the guard,
(27:38):
i should say, and brought the tackle down with him
on this third and one play, which creates a lane
for David Long to hit, and boy did he. He
also got Ogba and Campbell both getting knocked back and
Jordan Poyer filled his spot too. Just great team football.
And that was before the first play of the fourth
quarter the Jags. Atrocious play call by the way on
fourth and one, but Ogba gets out standing pursuit side,
(28:00):
amazing work on a double team by Jordan Brooks to
run out wide and force Etn to know I don't
have this, I have to bounce it back. Ramsey had
a great fill and then it was pursuit time. All
eleven hats were at the numbers or outside of that
to the field, and that's why I thought, oh no,
he's gonna get a first down and then some and frankly,
the only reason I thought they did get back was
because Jalen Phillips comes shot out of a cannon. Remember
(28:23):
that play against the Packers when he chased down Aaron
Rodgers from the wrong side of the field and got
him down short of the sticks. It was like that
because it forced ETN to bubble back like three or
four yards. And that is all the time you need
for Jalen Ramsey, for Kalais Campbell, Jordan Poyer, Kendall four,
David Long, they all get there and arrive at the
same time. What a damn play. Then the last drive,
Long had a great trigger to go get it. After
(28:43):
Ogbab beats a split flow cut block, then he has
to cross face of the pass rush Ogbab does to
win on that second down play and then JP finishes
it off with an excellent effort and power to push
the pocket from the outside. More on that in a moment.
But the way this team just kind of came together
on defense and they all got wins was so impressive.
Let's take our last break right there, come back and
do the defensive individual standouts. We'll do some numbers and
(29:06):
snap counts, some misses, a lot more to come your
way here on the Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,
brought to you by AutoNation, we talked about some of
the guys in the play so far. Let's go ahead
and get to the individuals here. First guy up is
Kalais Campbell, whose first two snaps I just wrote, Lol.
He hems in an athletic quarterback in space off of
a free run, and I thought the tackle for loss
(29:27):
was even more impressive. Swim redirect gets tripped by split flow,
lays out and makes the play going to the ground
just absurd movement ability for a guy that size. Outside
of that, he consistently dented his gap, clogged things up,
made backstop their feet. What a debut for Kaleis Campbell.
DeShawn hand consistently held his water, had good gap control.
You'd see them connect and then bring the combo block
(29:49):
and it wouldn't budge him. He just stood his ground
like Stan Marsh, important player in the rotation. He did
his thing. Yesterday. Jalen Phillips was throwing different moves. I
saw power, straight speed, speed to power, cross chop, double swipe,
dip and rip, and he was kind of filling it out.
And then it started to pay off in that second
half where he got a pressure throw away with that
dip and rip move. And man, the way he reduces
(30:10):
the arc by rushing the outside shoulder of the tackle
and running through that contact and resetting him back upfield
is what makes him special. Special. It reduces the step
up lane and helps him play outside content at the
same time. Watch him when you played the Buffalo Bills
on Thursday, how valuable that is against Josh Allen. Manuel
Ogbah was big in this game. He played with power
off the edge all day, great rep on the sack
(30:31):
to cross face, swipe the hands and finished through the quarterback.
He had some effective rushes throughout the day. David Long.
I thought a couple of times he and JB shot
the same gap and were conflicted that way. I think
they'll have to endure some growing pains as they work
out their chemistry. It takes some time, but my goodness,
what a football player he is. He made back to
back plays on the Jags four and out series where
(30:52):
he came from the middle of the field to make
a tackle short of the sticks on second down. Then
that third and one play he blew up that I
talked about earlier, playing fast and physical, sea his keys
and going at it. Man, what a fun player to watch.
I thought. Kendall Floyd played really well too, the best
of all the corners for my money. He played off
the blocks or off the backs, i should say, of
their breaks, and got underneath some of those routes like
(31:12):
plays where the ball doesn't come his way because he
has good coverage. He only saw two targets all game long.
I thought he showed good feel in zone and was
active in communicating things that he was seeing like they
would be he'd be on the backside of play, kind
of like pointing out things to the front side. Just
a good communicator and guy that's seen a lot of football.
And then Javon Holland won a freaking game for him.
Talked about him earlier with the coverage play the fumble.
If he tries to wrap up there, it's probably a touchdown.
(31:33):
Best case scenario, it's first and goal at the one.
But you put your fist on the football and you
change the entire tone of this podcast, in this entire
football team, because you probably lose that game if he
doesn't make that play. So missus I had a lot
of them too on defense. So Ramsey on the opening
that first Jags touchdown drive, loses contail on the outside,
takes a stiff arm on what should have been a
no game instead it goes for twenty. Then he seems
(31:54):
to have no real urgency getting depth on the Brian
Thomas Junior DPI in the end zone. Just let himself
get out of face and didn't hustle back until it
was too late, And that's always going to be an
underthrow DPI if you do that. Sealer got washed out consistently,
one of the games that I thought he was least
productive in with Miami Dolphins. Couldn't get a feel for
his fits and couldn't contain gap control. He'll get there,
but it just was a slow start. Jordan Poyer on
(32:15):
the first pass of the game drops a Room Service
pick that Christian Kirk drop. We were not connected at
all there, and I can't put it on Poe because
I think he was robbing from that too high post
snap rotation. And the jagsks a couple of times with
this by adding conflict to one player to go in
two directions, which is what offense is. That's what you're
supposed to do, and it just seemed like it was
Poyer most of the time, including the touchdown pass, beautiful
(32:37):
throw and catch, but he was kind of caught no
man's land the play before that too, the thirty yard
play to Christian Kirk. He widens and makes this read
super easy for Lawrence and again I know that this
is cover two and he has to get over the
top of the vertical, but you see Kendall full turn
his man free and Poe just widens and makes this
throat in the middle so easy, and it's the easiest
throw in the progression, like right over the football. You know,
(32:59):
is he cheating over there because he's lost a step?
I don't know, but you can't do this against better offenses.
I'm pretty concerned about cater Co, who doesn't seem to
have a real feel in space or when the route
stem is going to end. There was like just no
anticipation for when that break's coming. He also missed a
tackle off the edge, which is his game, So you know,
I didn't see him crashing with the reckless abandon we
saw in that first year. Just doesn't break down a phase.
(33:20):
So it's like a good matchup for the opposing offense
to run back shoulder and go conversions against him because
he doesn't have a feel for We saw it last year,
saw it again on Sunday. They also ran a two
man combo into a seven man coverage and they run
eat end of the flap and Cater is right there
in good shape, and then he just starts getting depth
for no reason, and Lawrence throws the check down and
it's an easy walk in the park. Twelve yards wasn't
(33:41):
a good game for him. Some fun numbers here, Brooks,
Long and Campbell all had three stops each. Phillip's hand
and Fuller and Ogball all had two. Phillips led the
team with three pressures, Ogball had two. Fuller played twenty
eight coverage snaps allowed just eighteen yards. Ramsey was not
targeted outside of the DPI he allowed. Cater had to
twenty five coverage snaps and sixty seven yards allowed. So
(34:02):
that's the spot they're going to have to figure out
in this defense, whether it's Cater or somebody else. My
top tapes, I just thought the offensive guys were a
little bit more consistent as the game went along, even
though the defense closed it so strong. The individual tapes
to me, were a little bit more in favor of
the offense. That's why it goes like this. Aaron Brewer
is my top tape of the entire game. He was terrific.
Austin Jackson was nipping at his heels, but the one
(34:24):
sack he gave up was pretty brutal, so he falls
a second. Tyreek Hill was third. I mean, what can
you say about that guy? I have kalay As Campbell fourth.
He was impactful all game long from the opening whistle.
And then fifth is tu Watunga Bailoa. The other guys
that were right there for me, like right on the
cusp where Jalen Waddle, Tron Armstead, Jalen Phillips, David Long,
and Javon Hollands. So I had ten, I'd whittled down
(34:47):
to five. Told you the other five as well. I
had to put two in there because our top rusher
had twenty six yards and we still had four hundred
yards offense. That's a two as stat. Okay, some snap counts.
What we learned from that, it's always fantastic sick when
your offensive line and quarterback play one hundred percent of
the snaps. That was the case here today on Sunday.
I should say Waddle and Hill both played fifty one
and fifty snaps. That was seventy two and seventy percent
(35:09):
of the snaps, and then Braxon Barrios was next to
thirty seven percent among the receivers. I think that will
change when we get guys back, but I would reduce
that thirty seven number down quite a lot to bos
and chosen word eighteen and seventeen percent. In the game,
the tight end split was fascinating. Julian Hill played sixty percent,
Durham forty two, and John U twenty eight. Just a
nightmare debut for him. I think that will shake out
(35:30):
more towards John Whu and Julian As I said all
camp long, a chan is going to lead backs and
snaps because of the receiver played. But he played fifty
two percent Raheem forty four. Hefe fifteen percent, and Alex
Ingld out there for forty percent. It's a good mix, man.
It's going to be at rotation heavy offensive skill groups
this whole year. On defense. Brooks and Long are the guys,
and we knew that one hundred percent for them, same
with Holland and Poe one hundred percent for them, same
(35:52):
with Fuller, and would have been for Ramsey if he's healthy. Right,
but Fuller goes the distance. Ramsey plays thirty nine of fifty.
I don't think you get much changes with that group
of the entire year. Maybe some more Marcus May we
shall see. Zach Steeler is your bell cow. He's going
to be your justin. Mattabeke upfront if you will. Eighty
seven percent of the snaps. Kalays Campbell was a second
among the defensive tackles sixty six percent, and then to
Sean Hand thirty six. That seems to be the rotation
(36:14):
will get all year long. If you ask me. Peeley
played five snaps, Benito played eight. I do think Benito
plays more of those thirteen total snaps than what he did,
and when he's fully healthy. Cater Co, who played eighty
nine percent, which is telling for how they view the
cornerback spot. Storm Duck was next at eight and it
makes you wonder where Ethan Bonner is in the rotation
or Cam Smith when he gets back. Finally, off the edge,
(36:35):
Phillips and Agba played forty and thirty four snaps. I
think Phillips is going to be in Sealer's territory when
he's full go. And then Chop and Quinton both played
thirty percent. I think that will tilt more towards the
rookie as we go along. There you go. The first
All twenty two podcast of the year is in the books.
