Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What is up Dolphins and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.
I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
it's preview day. The Panthers are up the Dolphins, looking
for their second straight victory, our first road win of
the season, and get this thing back to two and
three and get back into the mix.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We'll tell you how they can do it.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
From personnel, from schemes, predictions, keys of the game, all
of that and a heck of a lot more from
the Baptist Hill Studios inside the Baptist Hell Training Complex.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
This is the Draft Time Podcast. Maybe daff.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Before I forget, let's make our Thursday pick here. What's
the old saying life would be tragic if it weren't
a comedy, And I guess it's equal parts tragic and
comical to me that I'm off to the best start
ever that I've had in my picks, coming off my
best year ever last year. Maybe we found something here.
But the funny part about it is to me is
(01:04):
that apparently I'm getting a pretty good grasp on the
rest of the league and can't seem to figure out
the Dolphins. Maybe I'm a little bit too close to
the sun here. I don't know, but the record right
now is fantastic. It's forty seven sixteen and one coming
off a twelve three and one week Ties man. I
despise what Ties do to the standings. It looks just
(01:25):
so clunky. But as far as first world problems go,
it's probably the top of the list. The goal every
year is seventy two percent the perfect nineteen seventy two
Miami Dolphins. We hit that goal spot on last year,
which tells you how difficult that is, that your best
year ever hit the goal. Seventy percent was the goal originally,
but seventy two percent became the goal after hitting seventy percent,
(01:46):
and right now we're at seventy four point six percent,
So I guess we're moving up in the world. And
on TNF, I'm taking the Rams over the forty nine ers.
I think the Rams are right there with Philly and
Detroit among the foremost contenders in the end. The Bucks
are right there also, but their injuries are vast. And
speaking of injuries, my goodness, man, the Niners. I know
(02:06):
we've had our injury issues here, but I legitimately feel
bad for that team right now. It seems like every
other year and this is where they've got the one
up on us. In those other years they make like
Super Bowl and NFC Championship runs, but those days might
be over for this team, who just cannot stay healthy anymore.
And they've had it this year with you know, McCaffrey,
IU Can Kittle got nicked up, last year's Ray Greenlaw
(02:29):
down most of the season. All those guys I just
mentioned are either gone or injured right now, with Christian
McCaffrey being kind of the last one standing, but he's
not looked the same. Nick Bosa's out for the year.
They just can't catch a break. Long way of saying,
I'm taking the Rams on Thursday Night Football, Let's talk
some Dolphins here, and before we get into this, this
is usually about the Panthers and how we match up,
(02:51):
so we will give get into it some, but I
want to deep dive this on the show tomorrow with
how the Dolphins pivoted their offense following the Tyreek Hill
injury and the way that I clamored for all off
season long and told you the additions of James Daniels
and Jonas of I Naya and Nick Westbrook, Kine and
Ollie Gordon and Faroh Brown last guy not making the
(03:15):
team would cause this team to have a change up
to their fastball and I think you're gonna see more
of that now with Tyreek Hill out. We shall see.
We'll do a deeper dive on that on the show tomorrow.
Stay tuned for that. As for now, Carolina Panthers are
up the Week five opposition for your Miami Dolphins. You
go on the road to Carolina for the first time
since we've played them a couple times here. They were
(03:37):
our additional NFC team on the seventeen game schedule a
couple of years ago. They are the last time. Was
it the freaking cam Newton Monday night game like in
twenty seventeen. I think it was. Yeah, that would be
the last time we were in Carolina. And for the Panthers,
that's about when things got bad for them. It's been
tough setting for a long time. David Tepper takes over
(03:59):
ownership of the team in twenty eighteen and they had
their best year of that season of the last seven,
going just seven and nine. Then it was three straight
five win seasons brutal seven to ten. Then two and fifteen,
and then finally five and twelve last year, they take
Bryce Young after the seven and ten campaign with a
blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears, and that future number
(04:21):
one pick winds up being first overall when you finished
two and fifteen in a quarterback class that had Caleb Williams,
EH Jade and Daniels Drake May Yeah, looking like it,
Bo Nicks JJ McCarthy. But the importance of this discussion,
or rather the discussion, is centered around the importance of
(04:42):
not missing on the quarterback, especially especially if you move
heaven and Earth to do so, because it makes the
leash longer, right for a quarterback that hasn't played well
outside of a stretch of like four games last year.
But this whole thing for this Panther team, Like I
hear so much about Dolphins fans, and this is going
(05:04):
back into previous years about like the down troddenness of
the team and how awful they are and all these things.
It's like these are the true dregs of the league.
The New York Jets, in the Carolina Panthers and the
Cleveland Browns, like the Dolphins haven't been in that strassphere
for a while, and it seems like they were ahead
in that way this year for a minute, and maybe
they still are, but we'll see what happens in the
upcoming games. But this is I mean trading Christian McCaffrey,
(05:25):
trading Brian Burns, the trade for Bryce Young. The one
time they had success in this run was like a
second half of the season with Steve Wilkes. But now
that maybe wasn't so bad because he looks like he's
kind of lost in New York right now. But he
did rescue that broken Matt Rule operation, which was the
first hire that David Tepper made, and what an absolute
disaster that was, and he turned that team, Steve Wilkes
(05:47):
did into a ground and pound winning football team. Basically,
every time they've had a fork in the road option,
they've chosen the wrong one. They've chosen the one that
has the broken forks, right, what are the things called
at the end of the fork.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
The prongs? Fork prongs? Go prong yourself. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
They fumbled the quarterback position. They even took the wrong
one after trading up Like CJ. Stroud has had his
issues in years two and three, but he was so
clearly the better prospect coming out that year. They also
had Baker Mayfield and sam Donold on that team before
making the move to get Young. Like, talk about getting
your in house evaluations wrong, man, Like, you got to
get those right. And when you do, it's the quarterback
(06:26):
position and you have cheap, veteran proven talent, not not
proven at the time, but Mayfield was more proven than
Bryce Youung ever was, and you choose to move multiple
draft picks in capital to go get a less quarterback,
a lesser quarterback. That's the genesis of horrible football franchises
is making decisions like that. And Dave Canalis looks like
(06:47):
a really really good coach to me, especially a game
plan designer and play caller. But that's really all they
have to hang their hat on right now. It's their
calling card in general, their ability to create difficult to
defend spacing and the timing of their concepts being in sync.
We'll get to more on that here in just a moment.
But it's year two of the Canalist and Dan Morgan combination.
This year's draft class off to a decent start. It's
(07:08):
still pretty depleted because of the trade for Bryce Young
a couple of years ago. But we've seen plenty of
Tet McMillan and Nick Gorton. We should see some Lathan
Ransom in this game, and Jimmy Horn Junior. They spent
big the last two off seasons on Rob Hunt and
Damian Lewis and Trayvon Merrick and Christian rose Boom and
Bobby Brown. Not that my by Brown. They were in
on Milton Williams this offseason. He winds up going to
the Patriots and kicking our button that game, and they've
(07:31):
seen the fruits of some of those additions here in
the early going, despite going one on three. Let's go
ahead and get into the personnel and the matchups for
this Panthers team. So their depth chart offensively, Bryce Young
is backed up by Andy Dalton. Quite frankly, I would
rather see the starting quarterback then the backup quarterback on
this team Chewba Hubbard and Rico Daddle. Same thing with
the running back position. Hubbard is the man. I don't
(07:52):
think very highly of Dodwell's game at receiver. They're banged
up there. Man Xavier Lagette and David Moore could miss
this game more definitely will and that leaves them with
Teed McMillan, Brendan Tremaine, who I wasn't really familiar with
his game, and Jimmy Horn Junior and Hunter Renfro. On
the offensive line, they've got Ekakwanu and Taylor Moten at tackle,
with the interior being Damian Lewis and Caid Mays with
(08:15):
Brady Christensen at right guard. That's the third right guard
they've had to start a game this year in that position,
and Caid Mays is the backup because they will be
without Austin Corbett, without Robert Hunt, without Chandler Zavala, the
backup to Robert Hunt and David Moore, and we're going
to see On Legette and Tamary Mathis and Jatavian Sanders
and Nick Gorton and Patrick Jones. So they've got a
pretty lengthy injury list there as far as the offense goes,
(08:38):
and when it comes to the matchups in the Panthers offense,
prior to the Hunt injury and the Corbett injury, it
was really about the offensive line being the engine that
drove the offense, and quite frankly, it still is, and
that's partially because there's some good parts up front, especially
the left guard and the right tackle, but it's more
to me about the fact that the rest of.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
The group is just very underwhelming.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
They do have one of the best right tackles in football,
and Taylor moten Ike Ekwanu is a tough guy to
figure out. He's had some big games, he's had some
games where it didn't look good at all. He was
one of the highest graded prospects coming out in recent
years at that position, and those flashes just have not
been enough for the sixth overall pick in the draft.
He has the fifth highest pressure rate among tackles right now,
and as you dive into his game, he gets beat
(09:23):
with the same thing. It's mostly power. Like watch the
Patriots game and he's getting a lot of ground against
players that go bulrush or just pure power or speed
to power, and that is generally what Bradley Chubb does
to get his wins. I think you'll get a sack
from Beachubb in this game, if not Jalen phillips as.
I think you could really kind of platoon them in
that role to off that left side of the Panthers
(09:43):
offensive line and just continuously throw power at him. And
even if you don't win, like with sack production or
you know, pressure production. You can really reset this quarterback
with putting the left tackle in his face. And when
I watch Bryce Young right now, he's not confident in
his protection and what he's that's a bad combination for
a quarterback. That's to me what Tua was in that
(10:04):
Colts game. We'll get into this in the quarterback section,
but to me, he was able to kind of shake
this when he came off the bench last year. But
again he's reverted back to some old habits and his
feet look very unsettled to me. He would stand on
his tippy toes and would adjust his arm angle and
it would cause funky mechanics and all these dirt balls
where they just go straight into the ground. And it
(10:25):
was all over the Patriots tape. And if you can
reset one side of the pocket from the perimeter, well,
that would then allow you to attack where they've been
most vulnerable, with the most attrition on the offensive line
at that right guard position, which is next to the
next spot they have the attrition at the center position.
I imagine you'll see slides to help everyone but moten
because they just have to win that matchup one on
(10:46):
ones and I think the Dolphins' best bet when it
comes to Taylor Moten is to just throw Chop Robinson
like forty five times at him with speed moves. Just
continue to rush up field, unfurl that speed around the edge,
and then occasionally sneak a blitz inside that potentially opened
up b gap and stress where that right guard Brady
Christensen wants to go.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
In terms of do I help right?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Do I help the A gap and squeeze a possible
walked up, mugged up linebacker in that gap. I think
you can really exploit that matchup here despite what Taylor
Moten does in his strength, and the best way to
remove him from the equation is to throw a chop
Robinson speed rushes upfield, just get him out of the play.
Make it a fore mat offensive line. Take out your
chop out of the play as well. I'm okay with that,
and then sneak your linebackers and your safeties and your
(11:28):
your twists from the defensive tackle position around that spot
on the front. So whether it's you know, you can
do it from a variety of ways. Like we saw
with Terrell Dotson on the strip sack of Justin Fields,
it was the exact same thing, dealing with the edge
slanting inside and just create that gap and put stress
on the right guard every single snap. Now, they made
the switch when Zavala got hurt against the Patriots. They
(11:49):
went to Brandon Walton, and I was watching the tape
and I'm like, what is going on here? This guy
is he was lost. It was a very challenging tape.
And then I get to another series in the game
and Studd he's out of the game. So I don't
think you'll see him. In fact, I know you won't
see him because Dave Canalis on Wednesday did announce that
Brady Christiansen will start at right guard. But I think
he's got a ton of flaws in his game as well.
(12:11):
He was drafted to play tackle. Had a good game
on Sunday against the Patriots, but that was when the
game was already a thirty point washout. But when you're
on right guard three and center two, that's an opportunity
I think for Sealer and for Kenny Grant, and especially
for Jordan Phillips, who has been the best of the
bunch by a long shot. I like Kid Mays, but
for him, the thing that he struggles with is power
(12:33):
and this, you know, like most centers do, and Phillips
has plenty of power, but for Steeler and Kenny Gee,
I think it's a get right opportunity this week for
both those guys. I actually really like Zach Seedler's matchup
this week. I think that his push pull and his
pulse white moves where you kind of throw the hands
and you engage the chest play of the man across
from you, and then from there you kind of control them,
you know, with your frisbee toss or your hump move
(12:54):
or whatever you want to call it, he can have.
I think it's a recipe for success for Zach against
these backup options on the Panthers interior. I think Kenneth
Grant can use his power in these spots too. I
should mention Damian Lewis is an absolute monster, a great
player of a left guard. Kyle Krabs really wanted the
dolphinsive signed him last year, but he wound up being
like an eighteen million dollar player, which I don't think
(13:14):
is great money spent at that position, even though he's
a good player. I don't like spending that much money
at the guard position. So their strong points are the
right tackle and the left guard. I mentioned Phillips an
impossible platoon role with Bradley Chubb. I would like to
see Phillips in that four eye position. I think it's
been his best so far. That's on the inside shoulder
of the offensive tackle. It's been his best position four
(13:35):
games in. But also it would allow you to exploit
some of the potential communication issues that come with lineup changes.
I talked about how you floed that position with blitzes
and green dog pressures and mugged up looks and sim pressures.
I just think the power he offers could exploit that
weakness of the Panthers front. So that, to me, is
the recipe to success in the passing game. And I'll
(13:56):
keep the preview in terms of receivers on defensive backs
brief because for and they would tell you this in
a moment of candor, I've seen press conferences where they
talked about the structure of this build, kind of going
inside to out first. The receiver group is a work
in progress, and Ted McMillan has been pretty good. I
still can't get there on him because I think he
relies way too much on contested catchability. But for now,
I digress. He's produced pretty well. He averages fifteen point
(14:19):
four yards per catch, but nobody else in that football
team has more than one catch of ten plus yards.
You hear that they play completely in a ten yard
bucks more on that in one second. It's an offense
that has to be restricted that way. With more and
Lagette banged up, you get even deeper into a room
that was already off to a slow start. They did
say they'll see more Jimmy Horn Junior this week, which
he's been inactive for the first four games, so okay,
(14:42):
and his game is vertical stretch. But I think Rasuell
Douglas and Jack Jones have been among your best defenders
this season, and Douglas can really reroute that physicality. Might
be a good matchup for TET, But the question becomes
for coach Weaver, do you single cover there because you
like that matchup or do you bracket their one standout
receiver with multiple people and go, you know, zone across
(15:02):
the rest of the field. The Falcons deployed meg coverage
man everywhere he goes. Think think box and one and
basketball zone. The rest of the defense man every where
he goes, and you can funnel with that man coverage
and trail technique into your zones, into your help. In
this game, it's about disguises. So I think if you
can vary those options, you can limit Ted McMillan, then
(15:22):
you'll be in good shape in this game defensively. And
I like Jack Jones against anybody else in that receiver room,
and our big nickel packages with Minka and Ashton and
Iffy and Trader to handle Jatavian Sanders and Tommy Tremble
and the backs and coverage here. The biggest thing though,
and how we get to the opportunity to unfurl this
concept is to stop the run, and we just flat
out have to execute better. It's it's not been good enough,
(15:44):
and you face some good round blocking offensive lines so far,
but it's down the middle. It's better technique, it's not
getting popped up out of your stands. We have to
hold the point better no matter who we play across
the board, Zach Kenny Bardo. I don't put Jordan Phillips
there cause he's played well. Cuba Hubbard is a heck
of player. He's a great zone runner with good patience
and good tracks to create positive angles for his blockers.
(16:06):
He can weave his way through traffic, and if he
doesn't stop his feet, he'll burn you. Which is why
I really hope, I really damn hope that we can
just reset the line scrimmage this week and get knockback
that makes him stop those feet and burrow ahead, because
if he runs for two yards and we're in second
and eight's all day, we're gonna win this game going away.
I wrote in my notes that andy kerry that Rico
Daddle gets is a waste of a snap because when
(16:27):
you watch their tape it is a vast difference from
Hubbard to Dawdle. I think Jordan Brooks is a great
matchup for what Hubbard does well. It's smart on smart
contact balance versus a sure tackler. I like the captain
to get us right in this game. And speaking of
the captain, you can catch my interview with Jordan Brooks
tonight on Dolphins HQ and tomorrow on the Friday episode
of the Draft Time podcast. Let's pause for a break
(16:47):
right there, come back and talk about personnel on the
Panthers defense, to the schemes, the key matchups in this one,
the keys to victory, I should say and the prediction.
All of that and a heck of a lot more.
Draft Time Podcast brought to you by AutoNation. We are
back on the Thursday edition of the Draft Time Podcast.
The Wednesday Injury Report here as I taped this on
(17:07):
Wednesday evening just came through. The Dolphins are pretty healthy
outside of guys on the injuriserve obviously, but Storm Duck
and Cedric Wilson are both DNPS. You figure they won't
play again this week. But Ethan Bonner and Darren Waller
your only limited participants in practice. Darren Waller's hip and
rest was his designation, and then Jordan Brooks and Jonas
of vite Naya on the injury report but with full
participation on Wednesday. The Panthers Juba Hubbard Calf DNP, that's
(17:32):
the biggest one to watch. Taylor Moten did not practice
from rest. JT Sanders didn't practice, and Shaw Smith Wade
Go Koog's also DNP, and then Trevelle Wharton, the defensive
tackle also did not practice. But they also have five
guys that were full practice and one limited DJ one them.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So yeah, the injury report favors of the Dolphins in
this one. So far.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
As for the personnel on the Panthers defense, the Panthers'
personnel defense. This probably feels like a convenient thing to say,
but the Falcons game to me was just an off
day for my Pennox junior and the Falcons offense. This
Panthers defense is slow, it's static, it doesn't pressure the
quarterback particularly well. It does start up front on the
good side of things, with Derek Brown, a powerful, powerful
(18:12):
dude who can plant the flag on double teams. He
has really good gap discipline and in pass protection, he
will obliterate single matchups. And that's kind of where I'm
a little bit hold in my breadth this week because
Jonasavi Andaya has struggled and I can't tell you how
much I don't like that matchup. You're gonna have to
help the rookie this week, and that means less help
for Larry Borum and for Cole Strange. But that's a
(18:34):
cross we'll just have to bear. And hopefully we get
James and Austin back here real soon and those reinforcements
can help this offensive line settle in because it's been
a little bit of struggle so far for the Dolphins
front but teams have really been able to limit his
pass brush production by committing more attention to him. He's
got just five pressures on the season, but he impacts
the game by the way you have to plan for him,
and I think that'll be the case in this one.
(18:55):
Jonah with some Aram Brewer chips could really help kind
of keep them off balance as well as your wide
game in this one. And when you help inside, that
means you have to score one on one wins somewhere.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Else, particularly off the edge.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I think Patrick Paul is a good matchup on just
about anybody these days, but I think this is a
chance for him to really show you how good he
is with slides and isolation because and getting with from
him the running game two, because the best way to
neutralize a game wrecking defensive tackle is to run the
ball wide and to squeeze your protection side. And the
way we added gaps in the run game on Monday
Night with Julian Hill. Every time I right Hill, I
(19:28):
think Tyreek. But Julian Hill, alec Ingold, and Darren Waller
color me intrigued by that again. Tomorrow's podcast is gonna
do a deep dive on the Dolphins. Shift and offense
post Tyreek injury be just two corps of football. And
a Chan is running the ball so well, I need
to may a kolpa on a Chan's playing time because
he deserves to get a bunch of touches.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Man, he's special.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And Travis got a cool little presser moment on Wednesday
when I asked McDaniel about Devon's play speed and decision
making and he said that Monday was the best game
Devon has played from that regard, which is why I asked.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I saw the same thing.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
But their next player inside is Bobby Brown, a guy
that we talked about as a favorite of trab Doggies
in terms of free agent defensive tackles. He's well built
with some twitch. So when you think about this front,
the strength is in the interior. It's a work in
progress to put it nicely on the outside. So I
think adding those gaps on the outside and running your
outside zone game, that's how you negate that. So it's
(20:20):
a good matchup from Miami in that way in terms
of how you can negate your potential mismatches and really
exploit their softness off the edge.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I would go after.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Rookie Nick s Gorton, Like Will Ferrell, he just doesn't
know what to do with his hands right now. And
I think Julian Hill could legitimately erase him by himself
without tackle Hill. That's how much he's struggling and how
much I think of Julian Hill's game right now. And
maybe that can allow you to help more on the interior.
The biggest game day and active to look for outside
of Chewba Hubbard, because again, one of the biggest fall
(20:50):
offs on this roster is Hubbard to doubtle And it
would just be so nice to not have to worry
about the run game for once, because I'm very worried
about it. But dj Wanham is the next biggest one.
He's practicing this week for the first time in a
few weeks, or he was What was he today? I
just told you on it on the freaking report. What
did I just tell you? He was limited with the
hip injury. But he is practicing, so he's their best
(21:11):
pass rusher and run defender outside. But I think about
that for a second, like I like Dj want him,
but having him as your top edge guy, that's not
good man. The biggest thing here in terms of the
matchup stuff to me is the speed deficiency the Panthers
defense has versus a fast Dolphins offense even without Tyreek Hill,
but particularly the running back in Devon hhen right against
the Panthers' linebacker corps, where it's far more stake than sizzle.
(21:33):
There are more hitters than runners, and quite frankly, I
don't know what they do well. There's not a lot.
I actually liked Christian Roseboom last year, but he is
off to a rough start in this zero everro defense.
So the screen game, you know, slow linebackers, your screen game,
E League Washington on some of those end to rounds
and creative run schemes. We've seen those Texas routes. We
saw Devon h Chan cook up the Patriots on. I
(21:54):
think all of that's on the menu, like it's all
there for you to get fat and stuff yourself with.
And it's a beautiful compliment to the outside run game
that I've talked about. Trevin Wallace is the next linebacker.
I didn't like him in college, and I like Eltuona High.
That's a deep cut. Let's play it for you guys.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Heltuona High. I like Altoona High.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
That still makes me laugh. Man, that bit is twenty
years old. Holy mfns man. That was that bit ran
after the Dolphins beat the Broncos on Opening Day in
two thousand and five.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
That was Frank cali Endo doing Jim Rome.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
So yeah, I like Altoona high in the secondary, hang on,
hang on, I lost my spot, But Trevin Wallace he's lost.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Man.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I think eight Chan's in for a monster day for
you fantasy heads out there. I bet he breaks one
in this game, and as we do that, the screen
game can screen him to death. I think it'll also
open up a shot play in the passing game. More
on that in one second. And the secondary. J C.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Horn is outstanding.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
He's been injured a lot in his career, but when
he plays, he is the absolute man. Shaw Smith wade
Go Koog's is a really good slot cornerback, not really good.
He's a good slot cornerback. He's battled injuries, he was
a dep on Wednesday and hasn't played recently. And then
Mike Jackson's the other cornerback. They're all feisty. They want
to get hands on guys and play aggressively. Further the
reason to try to add hats in the fit, add
(23:10):
more wide tight ends and fullbacks in the game and
go downhill and just try to out physical them that way.
Horn is so adept playing off in zone and then
falling off of his responsibility in cloud or and deep
drop and a deep third responsibility in the curl flat
and then to find himself in another zone. So Tua
has to be sharp with his eyes on JC Horn
(23:30):
number eight, keeping on him on that Panther's defense. I
also really like treyvon merreg but Nick Scott has rugged again.
This is a chance, I think for Waller to add
to his repertoire. Darren Waller, man that tape, man, I'll
tell you what, man, Darren Waller. Yeah, Darren Waller. When
you watch their coverage tape, it is so easy to
move their safeties. I think you're in a complex coverage
(23:53):
scheme that's an offshoot of the Vic Fangio defense, which
no one seems to be able to run that defense
besides Vic Fangio effectively. And I think you're seeing those
communication breakdowns and the rules are a lot to adapt to,
and their man match ideas, their zone match ideas, and
that's why I think for Tua I think you can
make this easy on him by giving him a run game,
by giving him plenty of time to operate once he
(24:14):
breaks the huddle, which was the case on Monday night.
Good for you, Mike, good job getting that operation solved
after you said you would going into the Buffalo game.
Throw those motions and shifts, get their hands, get their
heads moving rather, and let to attack them accordingly. He
can really, I think he can really move pieces with
his eyes in this game and go to work. I
also think that you're gonna get a shot to go
vertical where Nick Scott gets out of position, whether it's
(24:37):
waddle splitting a quarters coverage concept or waller right down,
Broadway right down the hash mark just split the open
middlefield open concept. When you move that safety wide and
then replace the football there, I think we see a
deep ball this week. There are areas of vulnerability in
terms of personnel. Well, at the quarterback I don't think
is very good. The entire receiver group, I don't think
(24:58):
it's very good, Hunter Renfro. I think the interior offensive
line struggling right now, The left tackle position struggles right now.
On defense, Yeah, man, their safety, play their linebacker, play
their edge play, our man coverage and blitzing their offense
is going to be a big part of this game.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
It's all over the field. This is a bad football team, guys.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
The scheme calling cards as far as the Dolphins offense
versus the Panthers defense again Vic Fangio, Tree defense, Zio
Evro coach under Fangio. So you get tons of zones,
fire zones, light boxes, trying to defend the run from
light boxes. So two tight ends, two backs, all the
gordon maybe maybe two high structures of varying cover two,
cover two concepts, quarters, cover six, all the zone concepts,
(25:38):
quarter quarter, half quarter, a half quarter, all the fun stuff,
all the biggest hits. Right.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I love his entire canalog.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
And what that just means is basically, how much of
the deep part of the field you have to cover?
A quarter of it, half of it a quarter Like
that's all it is. But it's all those zone structures
in the back side. And I'm telling you, man, I'm
telling you they don't spend a lot of time in
their tricky twos or try to disguising things. It's more
static at the snap and then react after the snap.
And that's where I think your pre snap motions and
shifts like expected every play this game, because if they're
(26:05):
not going to move with it, then you know, let's
keep on changing the landscape on them and put the
onus on them to adjust, because if you can do
that against the Stag defense, they're the ones that have
to adjust and that can give to us some easy
answers and layups. I think we can eat here, guys,
Traviss fill in that confidence once again, which is a
scary place for me to go back to after my
heel turn for a couple of weeks. I'm not even
(26:26):
gonna say that. I think this team is like going
a rebound and be awesome. But in this matchup, I
think there's some chances here, especially specially with all the
twelve and twenty one and twenty two personnel groupings we
ran and those numbers, the first numbers the running backs,
the second numbers of tight ends. It's one running back,
two tight ends, two running backs. Like that's all it is.
So when you hear that, just know that. But with
(26:47):
with Waller, with Julian Hill playing well, and then if
they can get caught sleeping, you can find verticals to waddle,
and with them playing from light boxes. I think you
can wear them down and then hit Wattle on that
deep shot. That's my rhythm for the game, grind it out,
drives early late. They are slow. They are so slow,
maybe there's some good yack opportunities to I'll get hyper
specific for you. I think you're going to see them
(27:08):
try to run a quarters coverage look where they try
to bracket Wattle much in the same way you saw
Tyreek against the Patriots this year, but also back in
twenty three, may score a touchdown breaking a quarter's bracket
beater the exact same look for Wattle with safety Nick Scott,
who struggles gets beat for a deep shot to wall.
That's my deep cut prediction for the week. Scheme calling cards.
When it comes to the Dolphins defense versus the Panthers offense,
(27:30):
they condense their splits and run the ball with the
play action game. So everything for this offense is based
around the ability to run the football. We have to
win on first down. If we do that, you're going
to destroy this team. It's that simple. I think you
can really get after them and force them into their
true drop back game and make Bryce Young assessed the
Skies and sim pressures and play from under pressure, where
he's been got awful this season.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Their spacing is really good. They've got good timing concepts.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It's why I think you need to speed up Bryce
Young with blitz as of man coverage. I think our
cornerbacks are better than their receivers, and I think you
can bracket four and make them go elsewhere, make them
beat you with somebody else besides Ted McMillan and Chewba Hubbard.
If you do that, they're not going to score more
than ten points on you, which I know this Dolphics
defense has struggle this year, but this Panther's offense does
not have a lot of options. They do do a
(28:13):
great job do Doo of sequencing and making something look
like one thing and then adding a wrinkle. So your
eye discipline needs to be on point for this game.
In your assignments. Everything is inside of a ten yard
box right now. They have one completion this season of
twenty plus air yards one and Bryce Young is one
for eight with twenty six yards on those throts.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
So it wasn't seem like a vertical.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's like a corner row and the intermediate the ten
to nineteen yard range. He is thirteen for thirty three
with two hundred and forty three yards a touchdown on
a pick, So everything beyond ten yards combined is fourteen
for forty one. It's a forty five percent completion percentage,
a two hundred and sixty nine yards passing and six
point five yards per pass, and a passer rating of
forty five point seven. They are bad, guys, They are bad.
(28:56):
Cannot let this team beat you. Let's take our last break,
come back and talk about quarterbacks, what's at stake, special team,
special teams, and miscellaneous and the keys of victory and
my prediction.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
All of that.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Next Draft Time Podcast brought to you by AutoNation. Yeah right,
we're back. A couple more ibs here to cover here
for Dolphins and Panthers. The quarterback position Bryce young to me,
this player is broken, is broken, and sure enough, I'm
probably putting the hecks on our defense and resurrecting this
guy for a big day. But I just don't think
(29:26):
he can play. That's all I have to say. No,
it's not I've got more to say. It's so bad.
The middle of the field, it isn't open. He doesn't
see it, he doesn't see it. The accuracy is inconsistent
at best. He's all upper bodying his mechanics right now.
Even on time or one hitch to the perimeter, it's
all so bad. The feet plant, the arm goes without
any weight transfer, and he winds up dropping that arm
(29:47):
angle and just flicks it out there. It looks like
my damn broken golf swing right now, I want to
shoot seventy eight again. You can see it from a
clean pocket, but you really see it under pressure.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
He's broken. It's broken.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
The strength of his game is out of structure, creativity,
and mostly as a runner. I thought David Canalis did
a great job last year getting him to play on
time more frequently. But it looks more like the pre
Benching tape recently than it was the end of twenty
four when he was playing some good football. I think
his mechanics are just off right now, and so if
you're Miami, keep him uncomfortable, don't let them get comfortable
(30:22):
and doing it early. If you can get a stop
or two to start and fortify the run defense and
get them out of their play action game, I think
you can throw them off for sixty minutes and just
befunnel this offense ave way the Patriots did last week.
If you let him settle in, though, if you turn
it over on offense and give him short fields on
a running game, I think they can get some of
their scripted stuff as well as the off schedule creativity.
But you can stop that with early success. So with
(30:43):
the skies and pressure, I think that's the ticket here.
I think against a banged up receiver corps, you can
sacrifice some coverage for more rush and really bring the
house to heat this guy up. If you can stop
the run, you should be able to do that this season.
Win blitz four point eight yards per pass, one touchdown,
one pick, when pressured forty five five percent completion rate
four point two. I might have had the wrong number earlier,
(31:04):
fourteen for forty one. That might be like thirty percent.
Let's do the math on the air, favorite part of
the podcast, right, fourteen thirty four percent? My goodness. So
when pressured forty five percent completion rate four point two
yards per past, two touchdowns, one pick, make him uncomfortable
and you win this game. Our quarterback, Now, that was
(31:27):
the TUA I'm used to seeing. And I got to
say some of the concepts from play action with the boots,
early on with Tyreek, and then even without Tyreek calling
on more heavy personnel. He just felt in total command
in that game. I liked how much he had, how
much time he had breaking the huddle to assess things,
and at the risk of being a massive waffling flip flopper,
I'm willing to accept the fact that I maybe could
(31:48):
have possibly potentially began to have been too quick to
call him toast because I think we went back to
what Tua does well where we didn't as much in
the first three games. Where we go from here is everything, though,
I mean, I have to believe it's more of the same.
There's no way they go back to the first three games, right,
No way, no way.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I thought his feet were awesome, the mechanics were back aligned,
he threw with accuracy, confidence and poise. Just a really
nice game from Oose. I am very much looking forward
to seeing if he can build on that. If two
of plays like that, you're gonna win all these games
against these bad teams. That's what he's done in the past.
Didn't have the bad games against bad teams. Mean more
of that from him, and some elevated games against the
better teams, special teams, and miscellaneous factors. Here, the Panthers
(32:27):
were off a blowout and usually teams bounced back after
blots in better fashion. Right, So that's not my favorite
thing in the world. But special teams wise, Riley Patterson's
been awesome, Jake Bailey hitting great directional punts and we're
covering them well. We saw in the Jets game something
I think was true of the first three games that
was overshadowed by the three massive mistakes, which you can't
discount those, is that outside of those penalties and the
(32:49):
kick return, they've been pretty good. Meanwhile, Caroline Carolina has
really struggled. They gave up an a seven yard punt
return last week to Marcus Jones and they were on
their back foot throughout most of the game.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
What's at stake? I think it's a must win game.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I mean, we were talking about quarterbacks draft classes the
last few podcasts and that still in play. Drink of water,
But you got to get back to two and three
here if you're gonna crawl back into this thing, right,
and I think this is a chance to get the
defensive line going a little bit, but mostly the offensive
structure that this team should have unspooled all year long.
We saw it Monday. I think seeing more of that
(33:23):
and leaning into this pivot and seeing if you can
do that and be this new age Dolphins team that
we thought we'd get back in Week one. All of
that can help you win this game and convincingly and
help get Dolphins fans back in the seats here. Please
make that happen, My keys to victory. Maximize the vertical
and horizontal stretch on offense. Go after the edges, go
after the safeties, stretch them out vertically, and stretch those
(33:45):
zone concepts in the back end, and get your wide
running game going. And go after the slow Panthers defense.
Number two, flood the box on defense, make him throw
it deep, make him throw it in the intermediate. Make
Bryce Young sit in that pocket and progress through his progressions,
and also stop the run game. That's all part of
that concept. Number three, Speed up Bryce Young's process.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
What's him?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Get him uncomfortable, Green Dog, and whatever you gotta do,
don't let him sit back there and be comfortable. My prediction,
I have not nailed a Dolphins game like I did
in the Jets win in quite a while. I mean
down to a damn te right, except for the freaking
two point conversion that cost me to score prediction. So
let's go ahead and accept some flowers for that. And
here we go again.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
He's gonna do it, Travis is gonna do it. He's
gonna He's gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
I think this game sets up well for Miami to
really control this thing. The last time I told you
this was the freaking Colts game, So shut up, Travis.
I think they lacked the pieces to expose our current
week spots. I think necessity to change will be a
good thing for us. I think we control this game.
I think we see a pick or two, our first
of the season. I think we see a massive Jalen
Waddle day. I think we see a big Devon h
(34:51):
Hian day. I think we get it done in our
most impressive fashion. Sins the Patriots game last year.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
It's been a while, been a while.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I'm gonna go twenty eight seventeen Miami with the Panthers
pulling a Jets and finding a late score to make
it look closer than it was. I think that's a
bad football team. I think Miami found something. If I'm wrong,
I'll be happy. No, I won't, but I will eat
my words. But to me, this is a fork in
the road. Game Show US. You can commit to the pivot.
Show me you can be something defensively compared to what
(35:19):
you've been for the first four games and dominate a
bad football team and get this thing back on track. Tomorrow,
Jordan Brooks on the show the week five NFL Picks.
I'll also talk about the Dolphins offensive structure changes, and
I'll see about Kyle Krabs. I have not asked him
yet if he's gonna do the Friday podcast. We shall
see on that. In the meantime, you all please be

Until next time, Caroline Cameron and Willow Daddy.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
He's kind of hope
This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What is up Dolphins and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.
I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
it's preview day. The Panthers are up the Dolphins, looking
for their second straight victory, our first road win of
the season, and get this thing back to two and
three and get back into the mix.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We'll tell you how they can do it.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
From personnel, from schemes, predictions, keys of the game, all
of that and a heck of a lot more from
the Baptist Hill Studios inside the Baptist Hell Training Complex.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
This is the Draft Time Podcast. Maybe daff.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Before I forget, let's make our Thursday pick here. What's
the old saying life would be tragic if it weren't
a comedy, And I guess it's equal parts tragic and
comical to me that I'm off to the best start
ever that I've had in my picks, coming off my
best year ever last year. Maybe we found something here.
But the funny part about it is to me is
(01:04):
that apparently I'm getting a pretty good grasp on the
rest of the league and can't seem to figure out
the Dolphins. Maybe I'm a little bit too close to
the sun here. I don't know, but the record right
now is fantastic. It's forty seven sixteen and one coming
off a twelve three and one week Ties man. I
despise what Ties do to the standings. It looks just
(01:25):
so clunky. But as far as first world problems go,
it's probably the top of the list. The goal every
year is seventy two percent the perfect nineteen seventy two
Miami Dolphins. We hit that goal spot on last year,
which tells you how difficult that is, that your best
year ever hit the goal. Seventy percent was the goal originally,
but seventy two percent became the goal after hitting seventy percent,
(01:46):
and right now we're at seventy four point six percent,
So I guess we're moving up in the world. And
on TNF, I'm taking the Rams over the forty nine ers.
I think the Rams are right there with Philly and
Detroit among the foremost contenders in the end. The Bucks
are right there also, but their injuries are vast. And
speaking of injuries, my goodness, man, the Niners. I know
(02:06):
we've had our injury issues here, but I legitimately feel
bad for that team right now. It seems like every
other year and this is where they've got the one
up on us. In those other years they make like
Super Bowl and NFC Championship runs, but those days might
be over for this team, who just cannot stay healthy anymore.
And they've had it this year with you know, McCaffrey,
IU Can Kittle got nicked up, last year's Ray Greenlaw
(02:29):
down most of the season. All those guys I just
mentioned are either gone or injured right now, with Christian
McCaffrey being kind of the last one standing, but he's
not looked the same. Nick Bosa's out for the year.
They just can't catch a break. Long way of saying,
I'm taking the Rams on Thursday Night Football, Let's talk
some Dolphins here, and before we get into this, this
is usually about the Panthers and how we match up,
(02:51):
so we will give get into it some, but I
want to deep dive this on the show tomorrow with
how the Dolphins pivoted their offense following the Tyreek Hill
injury and the way that I clamored for all off
season long and told you the additions of James Daniels
and Jonas of I Naya and Nick Westbrook, Kine and
Ollie Gordon and Faroh Brown last guy not making the
(03:15):
team would cause this team to have a change up
to their fastball and I think you're gonna see more
of that now with Tyreek Hill out. We shall see.
We'll do a deeper dive on that on the show tomorrow.
Stay tuned for that. As for now, Carolina Panthers are
up the Week five opposition for your Miami Dolphins. You
go on the road to Carolina for the first time
since we've played them a couple times here. They were
(03:37):
our additional NFC team on the seventeen game schedule a
couple of years ago. They are the last time. Was
it the freaking cam Newton Monday night game like in
twenty seventeen. I think it was. Yeah, that would be
the last time we were in Carolina. And for the Panthers,
that's about when things got bad for them. It's been
tough setting for a long time. David Tepper takes over
(03:59):
ownership of the team in twenty eighteen and they had
their best year of that season of the last seven,
going just seven and nine. Then it was three straight
five win seasons brutal seven to ten. Then two and fifteen,
and then finally five and twelve last year, they take
Bryce Young after the seven and ten campaign with a
blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears, and that future number
(04:21):
one pick winds up being first overall when you finished
two and fifteen in a quarterback class that had Caleb Williams,
EH Jade and Daniels Drake May Yeah, looking like it,
Bo Nicks JJ McCarthy. But the importance of this discussion,
or rather the discussion, is centered around the importance of
(04:42):
not missing on the quarterback, especially especially if you move
heaven and Earth to do so, because it makes the
leash longer, right for a quarterback that hasn't played well
outside of a stretch of like four games last year.
But this whole thing for this Panther team, Like I
hear so much about Dolphins fans, and this is going
(05:04):
back into previous years about like the down troddenness of
the team and how awful they are and all these things.
It's like these are the true dregs of the league.
The New York Jets, in the Carolina Panthers and the
Cleveland Browns, like the Dolphins haven't been in that strassphere
for a while, and it seems like they were ahead
in that way this year for a minute, and maybe
they still are, but we'll see what happens in the
upcoming games. But this is I mean trading Christian McCaffrey,
(05:25):
trading Brian Burns, the trade for Bryce Young. The one
time they had success in this run was like a
second half of the season with Steve Wilkes. But now
that maybe wasn't so bad because he looks like he's
kind of lost in New York right now. But he
did rescue that broken Matt Rule operation, which was the
first hire that David Tepper made, and what an absolute
disaster that was, and he turned that team, Steve Wilkes
(05:47):
did into a ground and pound winning football team. Basically,
every time they've had a fork in the road option,
they've chosen the wrong one. They've chosen the one that
has the broken forks, right, what are the things called
at the end of the fork.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
The prongs? Fork prongs? Go prong yourself. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
They fumbled the quarterback position. They even took the wrong
one after trading up Like CJ. Stroud has had his
issues in years two and three, but he was so
clearly the better prospect coming out that year. They also
had Baker Mayfield and sam Donold on that team before
making the move to get Young. Like, talk about getting
your in house evaluations wrong, man, Like, you got to
get those right. And when you do, it's the quarterback
(06:26):
position and you have cheap, veteran proven talent, not not
proven at the time, but Mayfield was more proven than
Bryce Youung ever was, and you choose to move multiple
draft picks in capital to go get a less quarterback,
a lesser quarterback. That's the genesis of horrible football franchises
is making decisions like that. And Dave Canalis looks like
(06:47):
a really really good coach to me, especially a game
plan designer and play caller. But that's really all they
have to hang their hat on right now. It's their
calling card in general, their ability to create difficult to
defend spacing and the timing of their concepts being in sync.
We'll get to more on that here in just a moment.
But it's year two of the Canalist and Dan Morgan combination.
This year's draft class off to a decent start. It's
(07:08):
still pretty depleted because of the trade for Bryce Young
a couple of years ago. But we've seen plenty of
Tet McMillan and Nick Gorton. We should see some Lathan
Ransom in this game, and Jimmy Horn Junior. They spent
big the last two off seasons on Rob Hunt and
Damian Lewis and Trayvon Merrick and Christian rose Boom and
Bobby Brown. Not that my by Brown. They were in
on Milton Williams this offseason. He winds up going to
the Patriots and kicking our button that game, and they've
(07:31):
seen the fruits of some of those additions here in
the early going, despite going one on three. Let's go
ahead and get into the personnel and the matchups for
this Panthers team. So their depth chart offensively, Bryce Young
is backed up by Andy Dalton. Quite frankly, I would
rather see the starting quarterback then the backup quarterback on
this team Chewba Hubbard and Rico Daddle. Same thing with
the running back position. Hubbard is the man. I don't
(07:52):
think very highly of Dodwell's game at receiver. They're banged
up there. Man Xavier Lagette and David Moore could miss
this game more definitely will and that leaves them with
Teed McMillan, Brendan Tremaine, who I wasn't really familiar with
his game, and Jimmy Horn Junior and Hunter Renfro. On
the offensive line, they've got Ekakwanu and Taylor Moten at tackle,
with the interior being Damian Lewis and Caid Mays with
(08:15):
Brady Christensen at right guard. That's the third right guard
they've had to start a game this year in that position,
and Caid Mays is the backup because they will be
without Austin Corbett, without Robert Hunt, without Chandler Zavala, the
backup to Robert Hunt and David Moore, and we're going
to see On Legette and Tamary Mathis and Jatavian Sanders
and Nick Gorton and Patrick Jones. So they've got a
pretty lengthy injury list there as far as the offense goes,
(08:38):
and when it comes to the matchups in the Panthers offense,
prior to the Hunt injury and the Corbett injury, it
was really about the offensive line being the engine that
drove the offense, and quite frankly, it still is, and
that's partially because there's some good parts up front, especially
the left guard and the right tackle, but it's more
to me about the fact that the rest of.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
The group is just very underwhelming.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
They do have one of the best right tackles in football,
and Taylor moten Ike Ekwanu is a tough guy to
figure out. He's had some big games, he's had some
games where it didn't look good at all. He was
one of the highest graded prospects coming out in recent
years at that position, and those flashes just have not
been enough for the sixth overall pick in the draft.
He has the fifth highest pressure rate among tackles right now,
and as you dive into his game, he gets beat
(09:23):
with the same thing. It's mostly power. Like watch the
Patriots game and he's getting a lot of ground against
players that go bulrush or just pure power or speed
to power, and that is generally what Bradley Chubb does
to get his wins. I think you'll get a sack
from Beachubb in this game, if not Jalen phillips as.
I think you could really kind of platoon them in
that role to off that left side of the Panthers
(09:43):
offensive line and just continuously throw power at him. And
even if you don't win, like with sack production or
you know, pressure production. You can really reset this quarterback
with putting the left tackle in his face. And when
I watch Bryce Young right now, he's not confident in
his protection and what he's that's a bad combination for
a quarterback. That's to me what Tua was in that
(10:04):
Colts game. We'll get into this in the quarterback section,
but to me, he was able to kind of shake
this when he came off the bench last year. But
again he's reverted back to some old habits and his
feet look very unsettled to me. He would stand on
his tippy toes and would adjust his arm angle and
it would cause funky mechanics and all these dirt balls
where they just go straight into the ground. And it
(10:25):
was all over the Patriots tape. And if you can
reset one side of the pocket from the perimeter, well,
that would then allow you to attack where they've been
most vulnerable, with the most attrition on the offensive line
at that right guard position, which is next to the
next spot they have the attrition at the center position.
I imagine you'll see slides to help everyone but moten
because they just have to win that matchup one on
(10:46):
ones and I think the Dolphins' best bet when it
comes to Taylor Moten is to just throw Chop Robinson
like forty five times at him with speed moves. Just
continue to rush up field, unfurl that speed around the edge,
and then occasionally sneak a blitz inside that potentially opened
up b gap and stress where that right guard Brady
Christensen wants to go.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
In terms of do I help right?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Do I help the A gap and squeeze a possible
walked up, mugged up linebacker in that gap. I think
you can really exploit that matchup here despite what Taylor
Moten does in his strength, and the best way to
remove him from the equation is to throw a chop
Robinson speed rushes upfield, just get him out of the play.
Make it a fore mat offensive line. Take out your
chop out of the play as well. I'm okay with that,
and then sneak your linebackers and your safeties and your
(11:28):
your twists from the defensive tackle position around that spot
on the front. So whether it's you know, you can
do it from a variety of ways. Like we saw
with Terrell Dotson on the strip sack of Justin Fields,
it was the exact same thing, dealing with the edge
slanting inside and just create that gap and put stress
on the right guard every single snap. Now, they made
the switch when Zavala got hurt against the Patriots. They
(11:49):
went to Brandon Walton, and I was watching the tape
and I'm like, what is going on here? This guy
is he was lost. It was a very challenging tape.
And then I get to another series in the game
and Studd he's out of the game. So I don't
think you'll see him. In fact, I know you won't
see him because Dave Canalis on Wednesday did announce that
Brady Christiansen will start at right guard. But I think
he's got a ton of flaws in his game as well.
(12:11):
He was drafted to play tackle. Had a good game
on Sunday against the Patriots, but that was when the
game was already a thirty point washout. But when you're
on right guard three and center two, that's an opportunity
I think for Sealer and for Kenny Grant, and especially
for Jordan Phillips, who has been the best of the
bunch by a long shot. I like Kid Mays, but
for him, the thing that he struggles with is power
(12:33):
and this, you know, like most centers do, and Phillips
has plenty of power, but for Steeler and Kenny Gee,
I think it's a get right opportunity this week for
both those guys. I actually really like Zach Seedler's matchup
this week. I think that his push pull and his
pulse white moves where you kind of throw the hands
and you engage the chest play of the man across
from you, and then from there you kind of control them,
you know, with your frisbee toss or your hump move
(12:54):
or whatever you want to call it, he can have.
I think it's a recipe for success for Zach against
these backup options on the Panthers interior. I think Kenneth
Grant can use his power in these spots too. I
should mention Damian Lewis is an absolute monster, a great
player of a left guard. Kyle Krabs really wanted the
dolphinsive signed him last year, but he wound up being
like an eighteen million dollar player, which I don't think
(13:14):
is great money spent at that position, even though he's
a good player. I don't like spending that much money
at the guard position. So their strong points are the
right tackle and the left guard. I mentioned Phillips an
impossible platoon role with Bradley Chubb. I would like to
see Phillips in that four eye position. I think it's
been his best so far. That's on the inside shoulder
of the offensive tackle. It's been his best position four
(13:35):
games in. But also it would allow you to exploit
some of the potential communication issues that come with lineup changes.
I talked about how you floed that position with blitzes
and green dog pressures and mugged up looks and sim pressures.
I just think the power he offers could exploit that
weakness of the Panthers front. So that, to me, is
the recipe to success in the passing game. And I'll
(13:56):
keep the preview in terms of receivers on defensive backs
brief because for and they would tell you this in
a moment of candor, I've seen press conferences where they
talked about the structure of this build, kind of going
inside to out first. The receiver group is a work
in progress, and Ted McMillan has been pretty good. I
still can't get there on him because I think he
relies way too much on contested catchability. But for now,
I digress. He's produced pretty well. He averages fifteen point
(14:19):
four yards per catch, but nobody else in that football
team has more than one catch of ten plus yards.
You hear that they play completely in a ten yard
bucks more on that in one second. It's an offense
that has to be restricted that way. With more and
Lagette banged up, you get even deeper into a room
that was already off to a slow start. They did
say they'll see more Jimmy Horn Junior this week, which
he's been inactive for the first four games, so okay,
(14:42):
and his game is vertical stretch. But I think Rasuell
Douglas and Jack Jones have been among your best defenders
this season, and Douglas can really reroute that physicality. Might
be a good matchup for TET, But the question becomes
for coach Weaver, do you single cover there because you
like that matchup or do you bracket their one standout
receiver with multiple people and go, you know, zone across
(15:02):
the rest of the field. The Falcons deployed meg coverage
man everywhere he goes. Think think box and one and
basketball zone. The rest of the defense man every where
he goes, and you can funnel with that man coverage
and trail technique into your zones, into your help. In
this game, it's about disguises. So I think if you
can vary those options, you can limit Ted McMillan, then
(15:22):
you'll be in good shape in this game defensively. And
I like Jack Jones against anybody else in that receiver room,
and our big nickel packages with Minka and Ashton and
Iffy and Trader to handle Jatavian Sanders and Tommy Tremble
and the backs and coverage here. The biggest thing though,
and how we get to the opportunity to unfurl this
concept is to stop the run, and we just flat
out have to execute better. It's it's not been good enough,
(15:44):
and you face some good round blocking offensive lines so far,
but it's down the middle. It's better technique, it's not
getting popped up out of your stands. We have to
hold the point better no matter who we play across
the board, Zach Kenny Bardo. I don't put Jordan Phillips
there cause he's played well. Cuba Hubbard is a heck
of player. He's a great zone runner with good patience
and good tracks to create positive angles for his blockers.
(16:06):
He can weave his way through traffic, and if he
doesn't stop his feet, he'll burn you. Which is why
I really hope, I really damn hope that we can
just reset the line scrimmage this week and get knockback
that makes him stop those feet and burrow ahead, because
if he runs for two yards and we're in second
and eight's all day, we're gonna win this game going away.
I wrote in my notes that andy kerry that Rico
Daddle gets is a waste of a snap because when
(16:27):
you watch their tape it is a vast difference from
Hubbard to Dawdle. I think Jordan Brooks is a great
matchup for what Hubbard does well. It's smart on smart
contact balance versus a sure tackler. I like the captain
to get us right in this game. And speaking of
the captain, you can catch my interview with Jordan Brooks
tonight on Dolphins HQ and tomorrow on the Friday episode
of the Draft Time podcast. Let's pause for a break
(16:47):
right there, come back and talk about personnel on the
Panthers defense, to the schemes, the key matchups in this one,
the keys to victory, I should say and the prediction.
All of that and a heck of a lot more.
Draft Time Podcast brought to you by AutoNation. We are
back on the Thursday edition of the Draft Time Podcast.
The Wednesday Injury Report here as I taped this on
(17:07):
Wednesday evening just came through. The Dolphins are pretty healthy
outside of guys on the injuriserve obviously, but Storm Duck
and Cedric Wilson are both DNPS. You figure they won't
play again this week. But Ethan Bonner and Darren Waller
your only limited participants in practice. Darren Waller's hip and
rest was his designation, and then Jordan Brooks and Jonas
of vite Naya on the injury report but with full
participation on Wednesday. The Panthers Juba Hubbard Calf DNP, that's
(17:32):
the biggest one to watch. Taylor Moten did not practice
from rest. JT Sanders didn't practice, and Shaw Smith Wade
Go Koog's also DNP, and then Trevelle Wharton, the defensive
tackle also did not practice. But they also have five
guys that were full practice and one limited DJ one them.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So yeah, the injury report favors of the Dolphins in
this one. So far.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
As for the personnel on the Panthers defense, the Panthers'
personnel defense. This probably feels like a convenient thing to say,
but the Falcons game to me was just an off
day for my Pennox junior and the Falcons offense. This
Panthers defense is slow, it's static, it doesn't pressure the
quarterback particularly well. It does start up front on the
good side of things, with Derek Brown, a powerful, powerful
(18:12):
dude who can plant the flag on double teams. He
has really good gap discipline and in pass protection, he
will obliterate single matchups. And that's kind of where I'm
a little bit hold in my breadth this week because
Jonasavi Andaya has struggled and I can't tell you how
much I don't like that matchup. You're gonna have to
help the rookie this week, and that means less help
for Larry Borum and for Cole Strange. But that's a
(18:34):
cross we'll just have to bear. And hopefully we get
James and Austin back here real soon and those reinforcements
can help this offensive line settle in because it's been
a little bit of struggle so far for the Dolphins
front but teams have really been able to limit his
pass brush production by committing more attention to him. He's
got just five pressures on the season, but he impacts
the game by the way you have to plan for him,
and I think that'll be the case in this one.
(18:55):
Jonah with some Aram Brewer chips could really help kind
of keep them off balance as well as your wide
game in this one. And when you help inside, that
means you have to score one on one wins somewhere.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Else, particularly off the edge.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I think Patrick Paul is a good matchup on just
about anybody these days, but I think this is a
chance for him to really show you how good he
is with slides and isolation because and getting with from
him the running game two, because the best way to
neutralize a game wrecking defensive tackle is to run the
ball wide and to squeeze your protection side. And the
way we added gaps in the run game on Monday
Night with Julian Hill. Every time I right Hill, I
(19:28):
think Tyreek. But Julian Hill, alec Ingold, and Darren Waller
color me intrigued by that again. Tomorrow's podcast is gonna
do a deep dive on the Dolphins. Shift and offense
post Tyreek injury be just two corps of football. And
a Chan is running the ball so well, I need
to may a kolpa on a Chan's playing time because
he deserves to get a bunch of touches.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Man, he's special.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And Travis got a cool little presser moment on Wednesday
when I asked McDaniel about Devon's play speed and decision
making and he said that Monday was the best game
Devon has played from that regard, which is why I asked.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I saw the same thing.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
But their next player inside is Bobby Brown, a guy
that we talked about as a favorite of trab Doggies
in terms of free agent defensive tackles. He's well built
with some twitch. So when you think about this front,
the strength is in the interior. It's a work in
progress to put it nicely on the outside. So I
think adding those gaps on the outside and running your
outside zone game, that's how you negate that. So it's
(20:20):
a good matchup from Miami in that way in terms
of how you can negate your potential mismatches and really
exploit their softness off the edge.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I would go after.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Rookie Nick s Gorton, Like Will Ferrell, he just doesn't
know what to do with his hands right now. And
I think Julian Hill could legitimately erase him by himself
without tackle Hill. That's how much he's struggling and how
much I think of Julian Hill's game right now. And
maybe that can allow you to help more on the interior.
The biggest game day and active to look for outside
of Chewba Hubbard, because again, one of the biggest fall
(20:50):
offs on this roster is Hubbard to doubtle And it
would just be so nice to not have to worry
about the run game for once, because I'm very worried
about it. But dj Wanham is the next biggest one.
He's practicing this week for the first time in a
few weeks, or he was What was he today? I
just told you on it on the freaking report. What
did I just tell you? He was limited with the
hip injury. But he is practicing, so he's their best
(21:11):
pass rusher and run defender outside. But I think about
that for a second, like I like Dj want him,
but having him as your top edge guy, that's not
good man. The biggest thing here in terms of the
matchup stuff to me is the speed deficiency the Panthers
defense has versus a fast Dolphins offense even without Tyreek Hill,
but particularly the running back in Devon hhen right against
the Panthers' linebacker corps, where it's far more stake than sizzle.
(21:33):
There are more hitters than runners, and quite frankly, I
don't know what they do well. There's not a lot.
I actually liked Christian Roseboom last year, but he is
off to a rough start in this zero everro defense.
So the screen game, you know, slow linebackers, your screen game,
E League Washington on some of those end to rounds
and creative run schemes. We've seen those Texas routes. We
saw Devon h Chan cook up the Patriots on. I
(21:54):
think all of that's on the menu, like it's all
there for you to get fat and stuff yourself with.
And it's a beautiful compliment to the outside run game
that I've talked about. Trevin Wallace is the next linebacker.
I didn't like him in college, and I like Eltuona High.
That's a deep cut. Let's play it for you guys.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Heltuona High. I like Altoona High.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
That still makes me laugh. Man, that bit is twenty
years old. Holy mfns man. That was that bit ran
after the Dolphins beat the Broncos on Opening Day in
two thousand and five.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
That was Frank cali Endo doing Jim Rome.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
So yeah, I like Altoona high in the secondary, hang on,
hang on, I lost my spot, But Trevin Wallace he's lost.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Man.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I think eight Chan's in for a monster day for
you fantasy heads out there. I bet he breaks one
in this game, and as we do that, the screen
game can screen him to death. I think it'll also
open up a shot play in the passing game. More
on that in one second. And the secondary. J C.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Horn is outstanding.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
He's been injured a lot in his career, but when
he plays, he is the absolute man. Shaw Smith wade
Go Koog's is a really good slot cornerback, not really good.
He's a good slot cornerback. He's battled injuries, he was
a dep on Wednesday and hasn't played recently. And then
Mike Jackson's the other cornerback. They're all feisty. They want
to get hands on guys and play aggressively. Further the
reason to try to add hats in the fit, add
(23:10):
more wide tight ends and fullbacks in the game and
go downhill and just try to out physical them that way.
Horn is so adept playing off in zone and then
falling off of his responsibility in cloud or and deep
drop and a deep third responsibility in the curl flat
and then to find himself in another zone. So Tua
has to be sharp with his eyes on JC Horn
(23:30):
number eight, keeping on him on that Panther's defense. I
also really like treyvon merreg but Nick Scott has rugged again.
This is a chance, I think for Waller to add
to his repertoire. Darren Waller, man that tape, man, I'll
tell you what, man, Darren Waller. Yeah, Darren Waller. When
you watch their coverage tape, it is so easy to
move their safeties. I think you're in a complex coverage
(23:53):
scheme that's an offshoot of the Vic Fangio defense, which
no one seems to be able to run that defense
besides Vic Fangio effectively. And I think you're seeing those
communication breakdowns and the rules are a lot to adapt to,
and their man match ideas, their zone match ideas, and
that's why I think for Tua I think you can
make this easy on him by giving him a run game,
by giving him plenty of time to operate once he
(24:14):
breaks the huddle, which was the case on Monday night.
Good for you, Mike, good job getting that operation solved
after you said you would going into the Buffalo game.
Throw those motions and shifts, get their hands, get their
heads moving rather, and let to attack them accordingly. He
can really, I think he can really move pieces with
his eyes in this game and go to work. I
also think that you're gonna get a shot to go
vertical where Nick Scott gets out of position, whether it's
(24:37):
waddle splitting a quarters coverage concept or waller right down,
Broadway right down the hash mark just split the open
middlefield open concept. When you move that safety wide and
then replace the football there, I think we see a
deep ball this week. There are areas of vulnerability in
terms of personnel. Well, at the quarterback I don't think
is very good. The entire receiver group, I don't think
(24:58):
it's very good, Hunter Renfro. I think the interior offensive
line struggling right now, The left tackle position struggles right now.
On defense, Yeah, man, their safety, play their linebacker, play
their edge play, our man coverage and blitzing their offense
is going to be a big part of this game.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
It's all over the field. This is a bad football team, guys.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
The scheme calling cards as far as the Dolphins offense
versus the Panthers defense again Vic Fangio, Tree defense, Zio
Evro coach under Fangio. So you get tons of zones,
fire zones, light boxes, trying to defend the run from
light boxes. So two tight ends, two backs, all the
gordon maybe maybe two high structures of varying cover two,
cover two concepts, quarters, cover six, all the zone concepts,
(25:38):
quarter quarter, half quarter, a half quarter, all the fun stuff,
all the biggest hits. Right.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I love his entire canalog.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
And what that just means is basically, how much of
the deep part of the field you have to cover?
A quarter of it, half of it a quarter Like
that's all it is. But it's all those zone structures
in the back side. And I'm telling you, man, I'm
telling you they don't spend a lot of time in
their tricky twos or try to disguising things. It's more
static at the snap and then react after the snap.
And that's where I think your pre snap motions and
shifts like expected every play this game, because if they're
(26:05):
not going to move with it, then you know, let's
keep on changing the landscape on them and put the
onus on them to adjust, because if you can do
that against the Stag defense, they're the ones that have
to adjust and that can give to us some easy
answers and layups. I think we can eat here, guys,
Traviss fill in that confidence once again, which is a
scary place for me to go back to after my
heel turn for a couple of weeks. I'm not even
(26:26):
gonna say that. I think this team is like going
a rebound and be awesome. But in this matchup, I
think there's some chances here, especially specially with all the
twelve and twenty one and twenty two personnel groupings we
ran and those numbers, the first numbers the running backs,
the second numbers of tight ends. It's one running back,
two tight ends, two running backs. Like that's all it is.
So when you hear that, just know that. But with
(26:47):
with Waller, with Julian Hill playing well, and then if
they can get caught sleeping, you can find verticals to waddle,
and with them playing from light boxes. I think you
can wear them down and then hit Wattle on that
deep shot. That's my rhythm for the game, grind it out,
drives early late. They are slow. They are so slow,
maybe there's some good yack opportunities to I'll get hyper
specific for you. I think you're going to see them
(27:08):
try to run a quarters coverage look where they try
to bracket Wattle much in the same way you saw
Tyreek against the Patriots this year, but also back in
twenty three, may score a touchdown breaking a quarter's bracket
beater the exact same look for Wattle with safety Nick Scott,
who struggles gets beat for a deep shot to wall.
That's my deep cut prediction for the week. Scheme calling cards.
When it comes to the Dolphins defense versus the Panthers offense,
(27:30):
they condense their splits and run the ball with the
play action game. So everything for this offense is based
around the ability to run the football. We have to
win on first down. If we do that, you're going
to destroy this team. It's that simple. I think you
can really get after them and force them into their
true drop back game and make Bryce Young assessed the
Skies and sim pressures and play from under pressure, where
he's been got awful this season.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Their spacing is really good. They've got good timing concepts.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It's why I think you need to speed up Bryce
Young with blitz as of man coverage. I think our
cornerbacks are better than their receivers, and I think you
can bracket four and make them go elsewhere, make them
beat you with somebody else besides Ted McMillan and Chewba Hubbard.
If you do that, they're not going to score more
than ten points on you, which I know this Dolphics
defense has struggle this year, but this Panther's offense does
not have a lot of options. They do do a
(28:13):
great job do Doo of sequencing and making something look
like one thing and then adding a wrinkle. So your
eye discipline needs to be on point for this game.
In your assignments. Everything is inside of a ten yard
box right now. They have one completion this season of
twenty plus air yards one and Bryce Young is one
for eight with twenty six yards on those throts.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
So it wasn't seem like a vertical.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's like a corner row and the intermediate the ten
to nineteen yard range. He is thirteen for thirty three
with two hundred and forty three yards a touchdown on
a pick, So everything beyond ten yards combined is fourteen
for forty one. It's a forty five percent completion percentage,
a two hundred and sixty nine yards passing and six
point five yards per pass, and a passer rating of
forty five point seven. They are bad, guys, They are bad.
(28:56):
Cannot let this team beat you. Let's take our last break,
come back and talk about quarterbacks, what's at stake, special team,
special teams, and miscellaneous and the keys of victory and
my prediction.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
All of that.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Next Draft Time Podcast brought to you by AutoNation. Yeah right,
we're back. A couple more ibs here to cover here
for Dolphins and Panthers. The quarterback position Bryce young to me,
this player is broken, is broken, and sure enough, I'm
probably putting the hecks on our defense and resurrecting this
guy for a big day. But I just don't think
(29:26):
he can play. That's all I have to say. No,
it's not I've got more to say. It's so bad.
The middle of the field, it isn't open. He doesn't
see it, he doesn't see it. The accuracy is inconsistent
at best. He's all upper bodying his mechanics right now.
Even on time or one hitch to the perimeter, it's
all so bad. The feet plant, the arm goes without
any weight transfer, and he winds up dropping that arm
(29:47):
angle and just flicks it out there. It looks like
my damn broken golf swing right now, I want to
shoot seventy eight again. You can see it from a
clean pocket, but you really see it under pressure.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
He's broken. It's broken.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
The strength of his game is out of structure, creativity,
and mostly as a runner. I thought David Canalis did
a great job last year getting him to play on
time more frequently. But it looks more like the pre
Benching tape recently than it was the end of twenty
four when he was playing some good football. I think
his mechanics are just off right now, and so if
you're Miami, keep him uncomfortable, don't let them get comfortable
(30:22):
and doing it early. If you can get a stop
or two to start and fortify the run defense and
get them out of their play action game, I think
you can throw them off for sixty minutes and just
befunnel this offense ave way the Patriots did last week.
If you let him settle in, though, if you turn
it over on offense and give him short fields on
a running game, I think they can get some of
their scripted stuff as well as the off schedule creativity.
But you can stop that with early success. So with
(30:43):
the skies and pressure, I think that's the ticket here.
I think against a banged up receiver corps, you can
sacrifice some coverage for more rush and really bring the
house to heat this guy up. If you can stop
the run, you should be able to do that this season.
Win blitz four point eight yards per pass, one touchdown,
one pick, when pressured forty five five percent completion rate
four point two. I might have had the wrong number earlier,
(31:04):
fourteen for forty one. That might be like thirty percent.
Let's do the math on the air, favorite part of
the podcast, right, fourteen thirty four percent? My goodness. So
when pressured forty five percent completion rate four point two
yards per past, two touchdowns, one pick, make him uncomfortable
and you win this game. Our quarterback, Now, that was
(31:27):
the TUA I'm used to seeing. And I got to
say some of the concepts from play action with the boots,
early on with Tyreek, and then even without Tyreek calling
on more heavy personnel. He just felt in total command
in that game. I liked how much he had, how
much time he had breaking the huddle to assess things,
and at the risk of being a massive waffling flip flopper,
I'm willing to accept the fact that I maybe could
(31:48):
have possibly potentially began to have been too quick to
call him toast because I think we went back to
what Tua does well where we didn't as much in
the first three games. Where we go from here is everything, though,
I mean, I have to believe it's more of the same.
There's no way they go back to the first three games, right,
No way, no way.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I thought his feet were awesome, the mechanics were back aligned,
he threw with accuracy, confidence and poise. Just a really
nice game from Oose. I am very much looking forward
to seeing if he can build on that. If two
of plays like that, you're gonna win all these games
against these bad teams. That's what he's done in the past.
Didn't have the bad games against bad teams. Mean more
of that from him, and some elevated games against the
better teams, special teams, and miscellaneous factors. Here, the Panthers
(32:27):
were off a blowout and usually teams bounced back after
blots in better fashion. Right, So that's not my favorite
thing in the world. But special teams wise, Riley Patterson's
been awesome, Jake Bailey hitting great directional punts and we're
covering them well. We saw in the Jets game something
I think was true of the first three games that
was overshadowed by the three massive mistakes, which you can't
discount those, is that outside of those penalties and the
(32:49):
kick return, they've been pretty good. Meanwhile, Caroline Carolina has
really struggled. They gave up an a seven yard punt
return last week to Marcus Jones and they were on
their back foot throughout most of the game.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
What's at stake? I think it's a must win game.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I mean, we were talking about quarterbacks draft classes the
last few podcasts and that still in play. Drink of water,
But you got to get back to two and three
here if you're gonna crawl back into this thing, right,
and I think this is a chance to get the
defensive line going a little bit, but mostly the offensive
structure that this team should have unspooled all year long.
We saw it Monday. I think seeing more of that
(33:23):
and leaning into this pivot and seeing if you can
do that and be this new age Dolphins team that
we thought we'd get back in Week one. All of
that can help you win this game and convincingly and
help get Dolphins fans back in the seats here. Please
make that happen, My keys to victory. Maximize the vertical
and horizontal stretch on offense. Go after the edges, go
after the safeties, stretch them out vertically, and stretch those
(33:45):
zone concepts in the back end, and get your wide
running game going. And go after the slow Panthers defense.
Number two, flood the box on defense, make him throw
it deep, make him throw it in the intermediate. Make
Bryce Young sit in that pocket and progress through his progressions,
and also stop the run game. That's all part of
that concept. Number three, Speed up Bryce Young's process.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
What's him?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Get him uncomfortable, Green Dog, and whatever you gotta do,

He's gonna do it, Travis is gonna do it. He's
gonna He's gonna do it.

really control this thing. The last time I told you

I think we see a pick or two, our first
of the season. I think we see a massive Jalen
Waddle day. I think we see a big Devon h

Show me you can be something defensively compared to what

bad football team and get this thing back on track. Tomorrow,
