All 22 Review, Big Play Breakdown, Stats and Snap Counts

coming your way. The key data points from Pro Football Focus, next Gen stats, and much much more, plus the snap counts and what those mean, scanning the social We're gonna do it all on this Tuesday edition of the Drivetime Podcast from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health

Training Complex. This is the Drivetime Podcast, Miami Dolphs. We're want to kick this thing right off with the All twenty two review, as we do every single Tuesday here on the Drivetime Podcast, and we start with the quarterback because he made his first start since Week number two against the Buffalo Bills. We saw basically four games without Tah. Now we have to games with two Ah and I

just want to go through really the entire games. I kind of broke this thing down play by play and show you some of the best plays, some of the areas where he can improve and grow upon. And that was what Coach Flores talked about his press conference on Monday, that he thought to have played really well. There's always

some throws you wish you could have back. I'll talk about some of the ones I think you wish you could have back, but also some of the stuff that coach said he saw that was good that I also saw was good in this game. But Number one is the feel for pressure and having the answer in regards

to expedition of the process of that particular play. So when you have certain layers or progressions into a route concept, you have either high to low or low to high, or you can go scan from one side to the next. There's multiple ways to scan the field and your progressions

as a quarterback. But one of the things I like about two of is that he knows where that short answer is and when the pressure arrives, how to get to that short answer when maybe his footwork is not quite set up and ready to go, or he's in the middle of the drop, how to interrupt that drop and get himself in position to where he can make the throat to that quick check to that hot and get the football out of his hands to not only negate a possible negative play, but to give you a

positive play. On a play where maybe you know an instance where it looks like it might be a sack and a big negative play, he finds a way to not only not take the sack, but to give himself three, four or five six yards as a result. I love the eyes that to a displays. There's a play in this game where you see him start to the boundary dangerous because he does have an innate ability to keep his eyes down field and process coverage and not get

away from the routes down the field. He's so good when he approaches the last scrimage, whether he's running the football as we saw three times for twenty two yards in the game on Sunday, or attacking with the pass. And we'll talk about and play that the Dolphins would love to have back that they missed in this game

on Sunday. But there's another play later in the game where, again this is TWA's responsibility as far as pre snap indicators and knowing what the defense is going to rotate to post snap, and they use Jalen Waddle on so much motion and those really helped give him the pre snap indicators. And he, of course, with Waddle, knows really well how to operate within the zones and creating space

within those zones. I thought we saw some of that chemistry early on with two and Waddle, like on a first down completion on the opening drive where he basically is in the same neighborhood as Albert Wilson, but he works himself clear into his own to give himself a target for two to find in a big first down on that opening drive. Then they come right back with an r P O pop to mac Hollins for eighteen yards.

And this is where the mechanics and the footwork come into play, because TWA starts this play facing to the left and he faces the handoff and he has to realign completely to get back to his right, and he does it without sacrificing any accuracy. Like go out in your backyard and try to stand with your back to your target and then flip around and throw that ball to your target and see how accurate you are. He does it so flawlessly. Obviously, NFL quarterbacks versus you a

big difference, and there should be. But I love watching the consistency with which to a can get himself into that throwing position and then throw accurately from that position. And like I said, in this particular instance, he catches the ball for eight yards runs for ten more after the catch, and that's a product of good accuracy on a play where it's tough to have good accuracy when your baseline is not established before you make that throw.

And there are so many plays where, however, I want to phrase this, not that the offensive line doesn't matter, but the ball is out literally before there's even a chance for the pass rush to get home, catch rock and throw. They called up so many plays I would say ten or twelve of these plays where the offensive line, I mean, you have to still play, but they basically have the playoff because the ball is out so fast

that your pass rush is completely irrelevant. On that play later in the game was a deep crosser to Mike Gatsiki, while it's actually later in the opening drive where and I tweeted about this on my old Twitter account at Winfield, nf L, where the Jaguars are showing a five man pressure look up front, and the dime or the nickel back rather comes up and shows pressure as well. So you have six guys across the line scrimmage, all showing pressure and the the dime or the nickel back, I

don't know, keep calling him dime. He actually comes on pressure. And Malcolm Brown does a great job of coming across the formation scan search, gets inside, looks inside nothing there, goes back outside, picks up that nickel blitzer. But the nose backer head up over the football. And we've seen Jerome Baker do this so many times here in Miami.

He starts to get depth and coverage and he gets about ten yards down the field and if you watch two us throwing motion, he steps off to the right, and as he makes that stride to the right, you watch that linebacker he takes a step that direction as well. And then incomes Mike Kisiki behind him, who gets free and clear and to it. Puts the ball right on him and sets him down away from the defender who's on the other side of the zone, putting him in perfect position to make a catch for a big play.

Influence the defense, not just with the eyes, but the feet and the body position type in at wingfield NFL on Twitter and type in two and maybe feet or body position. I've tweeted about that for like five years now. It's my favorite parts about his game. There's a third and four later in the same drive. The Dolphins were so efficient. There was somebody plays a point out here where they have Wattle in the stack position behind mac Hollins and Albert Wilson motions, and the guy follows him

across the formation. So then you have what looks like man coverage, right, that's your pre snap indicator, and Waddle from the stack runs an out route and he throws the ball before the post snap picture would show you what the coverage is. So trusting the pre snap read and putting the football in a location based upon that pre snap read and doing it accurately, throwing it wide out of Harm's way on the speed out route to Waddle to convert another third down on this drive. A

great throw and great process going into the throw. There's another play just a few plays later where he runs for the first down and then finishes with a touchdown pass to Gland Waddle, which, by the way, he checks out of a run pass on that or run play on that play. And I like to feet the footwork again on this play because he staggered under center, the right foot is back, the left foot is up, and he opens with a drop steps, so the right foot

is already back right. He gets more depth with that right foot by taking it further back, and then he pivots all the way around a hundred and eighty degrees back to his left and brings the left foot with him and uses that as the plant slash drive foot, and the ball is right on time, right on target for a touchdown to Waddle throwing the ball to space, and Waddle's ability to create separation and kind of keep that defensive back honest on the takeoff or the out

route of the in route helps create that space as well. Just good chemistry there between two and Waddle, and the footwork and mechanics helped to be accurate and on time. It's a treat to watch. Go watch game pass if you have not done so yet. There's plenty of examples just like this. On the very next drive, the first play we're starting this game hot for for the quarterback.

Here a deep crosser of Mike Gasicki four Jags defenders are deep, looks like maybe quarters, and Mike works in behind that second shell, the ten yards shell where linebackers are at and to alaye this thing right out over the outstretched hand of the linebacker while he's getting hit. Big time throw and there was a few of them in this game. Then the mist third and two throw a lot to unpack their first I want to talk about how he's capable of creating these off script situations,

and it comes from the footwork. Again. You see him at the top of the drop and the left foot kicks out away from the pressure, and the minute that foot hits the ground, he's so balanced and on balance that the spring in his next step. It's that quick twitch. We talk about how he gets from one spot and it's not teleportation, but it kind of looks like it.

It's such a quick twitch ability because he's always balanced and square under his shoulders and the feet are so quick that he can get away from those dangerous situations and put himself into positive situations. Again, if you have game pass, please go watch it. But then the play gets even more interesting to me because he has waddle coming from the opposite side of the formation wide open,

but he throws the ball before then. I'll tell you why I thought this was the other way around when I first saw this, because he also has mac Hollins wide open on the same side of the formation as him. But I think waddle might have been a walk in touchdown.

And originally I thought what it looks like to me was he didn't expect both of them to come open, and then he wound up kind of in between targets where you say, I'm gonna throw it to here, you know, I want to throw it to there, and it kind of gets in between, but then you slow it down, and the minute Mac works behind the defender, he has nothing but green grass in front of him, and to us sees it instantly, like the minute he gets behind him, he stacked and he just lobs this thing out there

and he doesn't stop. But you see mac Hollins just kind of slowed down for a beat, probably thinking he has to come back and make a block for his quarterback. So you can't blame it on either guy. They just

didn't communicate it at all. But that half beat was all it took for Matt to not be able to run under this thing and take that football basically uncontested inside the five yard line, one slip tackle away from a touchdown and you could see two his reaction after the play, he knew they missed a big one and it was just a misscommunication. So that's kind of one

of those things where experienced more time together. This is the kids twelfth start in the National Football League, but man the processing to understand that and put it all together. I'm so impressed with what he can do in just twelve games into his career as far as understanding game situations like this and thinking under the heat of the moment.

He's really quick in that regard and how he processes things. Luckily, the next play is another one of his big time throws, and back to mc hollins on the dig route at dig row if you're new to the podcast, is about fift anywhere from twelve to fifteen yards push up field taken en route across the middle. Used to call it down an end when you were a kid. It's called a dig route at this level. But he runs the dig from the from trips to the field side of

the formation. So the field side is the wide side, the far hash mark. All that fun stuff, and they have trips to that side of the formation where both Mike and Waddle run crossers, and those guys are blanketed, completely blanketed. So the only option on fourth and two is a fifteen yard incut to Mac, and Mac stacks

the cornerback for just a beat. Doesn't a good job of doing that, but the minute he stacks him two fires that thing into tight coverage into a spot where who knows how it's gonna play out, because if Mac doesn't continue to win that route, maybe the dB can undercut it. But he trusts his guy and throws a shot to that dig route to a spot and it meets Mac right on time, right on target for a big twenty yard reception in the first down and fourth

and two. And honestly, that's the kind of anticipation that I thought we saw on the play prior. Where they're on different pages. You're gonna have some mishaps when you're kind of working the instill with new guys, and again, just twelve games into his career, it takes a while to develop that stuff, but it's there, and so I think if you can continue to build around that and get guys that can get on the same page as him and get familiar with him. Man the upside seems

like it's very very high there. Fast forward to twenty six seconds left in the second quarter. He throws a deep route to mc collins where the ball is out before he even comes out of the break, and it almost looks like it's surprised Mac a little bit because the ball comes out and Matt kind of checks up.

I just have such an appreciation for the anticipation because he's throwing the football to spots in anticipation without receiver getting there, and it's happened so frequently successfully in this game that you feel really good about it going forward. There's a third and nine a few plays later whereas a five man rush and they over to load their pressure off the right side and it gets home immediately.

Then a looper from that side comes right down the pike down the middle, so to A has no escape route because he wanted to flush to the right, or excuse me, he wanted to climb up after the pressure off the right got there, but the pocket is muddy and he has to stop his feet as he tries to climb up, and just look at the feet. It's he's trying to climb, he's trying to reset, and it's just it's very pretty the way he can get himself

into these throwing positions, and he does it. He gets into that position with bodies at his feet, with hands in his face, and this ball, my goodness, what a throw right on the money, away from the leverage of the defender and a tough, tough catch by Jalen Waddle. Another really impressive play there. From that to connection, the Albana connection to a two Waddle, I've got such high

hopes for that man. And then later in the game it's another great different type of pass from to a touch pass on a steamshot to Derham Smith on the ninety one yard drive right between two high safeties. Run you're tight end between him, bust that thing up, force him out of that too high coverage. He just lays that thing out there and away from the leverage. Now his guy gets hit. Smith gets hit, But the location

of the ball was Chef's kiss. Man. Some things I thought could have been better from two in this game. We're not talking all things positive here. He had Isaiah A Ford on a jerk route that he didn't throw. It was an eventual throwaway, and that might be judging him critically, but that's what I want to do here and be very honest and transparent about the entire process of this quarterback because you have to evaluate these guys

all year, every year. And I thought that that ball could have gone to Isaiah Ford on that jerk route as he was kind of looking that direction and the throwaway went in that direction. Number Two, I stick route to mac Hollins, might get sick. He runs a backside slant that's open, but to a quickly went to the other side. Again, that could be the play call where it's like boom, catch rock throw, get that ball out. Don't even consider yourself with the backside of the formation.

But when you see guys running open, you you asked the question, why didn't the ball go there? Right? Number three a completion, this time to Durham Smith where he might have had waddle in a situation where Andrew Winger the safety is basically ten yards off the line and

it's like an even leaving situation. Whiles on a full sprint running right for him, and he takes the quick check on the outside to Durham Smith where he might have had a chance to put the ball under the end zone for like a twenty five yard possible touchdown throw to Waddle if it all worked out. But again

that's kind of nitpicking. Number four after the hold on Seethan Carter, which by the way, I don't know about that one, but anyway, it's first and goal from a twenty two ago is quickly to Mike get Sticky on two yard speed route to the speed out route to the boundary, getting ahead of myself here, and he has Savan Achmed on a one on one option in space

on a Texas route. I would have loved to have seen that route because it's basically a linebacker on Achmed with a bunch of space in the middle of the field and he takes it to the outside. Might have been a big gainer up the middle. The fifth one that I like, I did not like as much on the short throw or the throw that was short of the sticks to Mike get Sicky the first time Albert

Wilson's wide open on a crossing route over the middle. Again, you can't assess blame here because I'm not part of the play call on the huddle, but just telling you what I see. And then to be fair. Also, pressure was coming quick and it was in the end zone too, so get that ball out of your hands quickly. But he had a chance to go to Albert will some on that throw. Number six, a deep shot to Waddle. Now I saw people keep talking about Kirk mara on

this play. Kirk Mary didn't play any offensive snaps in the game. It was Isaiah Ford and Waddle and Ford. When I switch release on the outside, which is one guy's inside, one guy's outside, and then they switch one, the outside guy goes inside, the inside guy goes outside, and the safety's back is to the post, so he's facing the sideline, which is where the ball goes to Jaalen Waddle and Ford's going to the post, and that's

why the ball eventually runs into double coverage. I'm not sure what he saw there, but forward to the post would have been the better option based upon leverage. When he threw the football number seven, the interception, I just don't think he accounted for that defender being there. They played a lot of too high looks and zone coverage throughout the course of this game, where the corners playing underneath and there's a flat route to hold him and

that's typically what you need. You have to have someone to the corner or someone to the flat to kind of occupy that cover two type of look, or the safety up in the cornerback down, and the corner does

a great job of falling off. And it's a bad job on our part by not see him fall off because Waddles right behind him all alone on a deep comeback where he ran the safety completely out of the play like I saw it five or six yards plus beyond Waddles location, So just a miss I d by two and it almost looks like a little flinch towards Malcolm maybe has him thinking if I sell this to

the flat, he'll take it. But he never bit. He stayed in that area and that's why it looks so bad because he threw it to it where a defender was that he didn't think was there. And I'm not entirely shure that's the case. That's what I saw watching it from my own two eyes on the all twenty two and then finally number eight, the incomplete past two miles gaskon that was challenged and lost, which it was

a drop actually. Albert Wilson once again was wide open on a crossing route, and again we don't know the progressions, but that would have been an easier throw and I thought he had time to get to it. But all things told, like at B plus a miles performance here from two, I thought he was very good. I think he continues to give you more of a chance on third and long and just the ability to kind of mitigate pressure. You know, no sacks in this game. Really

good comeback here from two a tongue of BYLOA. All right, I apologize for the audio on this. I left my mic behind and had to make this addition because it was in my notes and I forgot to put it in the podcast when going back through my review. But some credit to the offensive line where credit is due. No sacks in this game, which obviously helps the offense

in the passing game. Go to four thirty one total yards, keeping to a tonga by low upright his return back to the lineup and developing some continuity with the first back to back games with the same offensive line combination. We've talked about them and criticize their play that they should when they've been poor. You have to give credit where credit is due and talk about how this offensive line improve their play in this game and gave the

Dolphins offense a chance. Again, I apologize for the audio quality here. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. Across the offensive line, the biggest issue I see with regards to when they lose in past protection is late reaction and rotation. So games are causing some issues upfront with regards to running different stunts and slants and twists and loopers, and they're just a beat late on that stuff. Kind of a theme on this podcast. Will continue to come back

to that. On the defensive side, there's a third and one play where the Dolphins bring Jacobe Brissette into the game. It was great execution by Brissette on the throw and I love the call because you see ten Jaguars defenders come up. To me, it was the best call of the year offensively because those guys were expecting run all the way. And we talked about getting explosive place third and short. It's a great opportunity for explosive plays. Miami took it and hit it. Good time stuff there, good

time stuff, big time stuff. Liam Eichenberg had a rough game. We'll talk about on the numbers. He got beat a couple of times in the first two drives. Outside post was an issue for him all day, just trying to reach and get around that outside edge, and the past Russia Jaguars just kept getting home on him. Later in the game, he was dispatching our running player where he got stacked and chucked. Just not his best game. Same deal with Austin Jackson saw some of the same issues.

He had a tackle with the punch and hand placement. That's when he's getting beat with the hands. It's just it's not been functional as far as the punch and the strength to throw those hands. And when he was on the move though, as a pulling guard or out in space. That's why that's where he was good and why I think it's probably his best bet to have a shot here at that guard position, at the running

back spot. Man talking about past prol Malcolm Brown, we talked about the five man pressure nosebacker play where he scans and gets all the way across the formation. Fantastic work there by Malcolm Brown. And also his sixteen yard run was well blocked all around and he was responsible for making a guy miss in the gap. Will cover that in the PFF numbers. How important it is for

running back Jesse Davis. I thought there was way too many instances of bending at the waist getting out over his skis, especially on a crossing route to Mike GASICKI that to a hit. He takes a big hit, But leverage is a problem on that play and as so often is for this offensive line when they get those pressures. Twenty in this game for the Jaguars, but still no sex. Good good number there. I thought Robert Hunt was really good in the running game and Greg Mans was good

all around. I thought both of them had really good games. In fact, Hunt was playing a little bit faster. I thought this week quicker off the ball, arriving with real force, a couple of pole plays where he blocks out the sun and then on the receiver position. Mac Hollins he did so much right in this game, stack guys throughout the course of the day, getting on top of them,

and so too did Jalen Waddle. I mean, he's so good at getting into the defensive back and putting them in a completely mysterious position with regards to where he's going to break that route next, Like Wattle dictates the pace of the route where he can say I'm gonna cut left, right up or go back, and then you have to react to that and a guy the four

to speed, that's tough to do. And also his ability to score on those flat routes by the pylon is such a great display of his athletic ability to stay on his feet reach the ball across is I'm just so impressed by him. And there's so many plays where if we had just a beat longer he could uncover. He uncovers right after pressure arrives and we could hit some of those big plays. So when you talk about being close, man, I think Wattle is is very close

to having some some big plays go his way. Based upon what I'm seeing on the All twenty two this season as far as big plays, Mike Kasinki hit a few of them. His route running is the best on the team right now. For my money. He and Wattle are right there neck and neck. But he knows when to bend that thing back to the quarterback, how to flatten his routes on those crossers when two it gets out wide, where to kind of settle down just so rely able and trustworthy about where he's going to be.

And then also the hands to make those catches eight for nine yesterday. That's a big time production day for Mike Gasicki, Miles Gaskin. After the offensive past interference on Mac, he has a pass a swing route into the flat where he's got ten yards of separation from the next nearest defender, but he juggles the football and he got no yak after that. That one hurts so bad. That was a big position to get some yards and get back ahead of the change, but they kind of they

lost it right there because of the juggle. Savan Akman I thought he looked the most explosive. He just gets it and goes. I'm very intrigued by his game. But he also had a killer drop in this one. My final note on the offense, I love the designs of getting Gasicki and Waddle together on different layers, like Wattle underneath Kasicki over the top. It gives the defense so much to think about because these guys are such productive

players for multiple reasons. But it's the deep crossing route on the nine yard drive watched Wattle underneath and Gassicki over the top that really gave the Jaguars fits. I love that concept and design. Some of the better designs in this game, I thought from an offensive perspect TV and again the quarterback play and the rest of the offense, we saw a big jump in production, more than a hundred and one yards then the previous season high back

in Las Vegas. Defensively, lots of situations where the cornerbacks are off the linebackers are responsible for the flat and lots of zone coverage. We covered that in the Sunday podcast or Monday podcast. But one problem that can arise in zone is when the quarterback sees it and fires it like when he feels it quickly, you're gonna have a situation where you have receivers on the move against defenders standing still. And that happened on the Jaguars first

drive a third and four. The receiver drops the football, but Lawrence got it to him right in that zone, right when he crossed face on Eric Rowe, and the ball just got dropped. But Rowe picked up a man and you kind of see him go to run with him and then passes it off and as that ball meets the receiver in the gap. Roe has to react after that, and the ball is just out before he

can get there, and he has to recover. So that was a challenge I thought for this defense was some of those zone looks, and when Lawrence saw it ripped it, that's when they opened things up. And that's that's kind how zone works against. That's why you can't play against a guy like Tom Brady because he's gonna see everything and hit everything on you. Some players I love in this game Christian Wilkins. If you want to see specifically where his game was going to another level this year,

watch the hands. He's gotten quicker with him if you ask me, and they're still very heavy as well. He has a rap on Cam Robinson that's right a left tackle where he invites the punch with a quick first step up field and then just shoots the hands right across Robinson's punch and knocks him over and knocks him to the ground. You see how he can stack and play off either side of that stack like a true two gap defender. Right stack him up, peek your head

off the side and get into either gap. You have to go based upon where the running back goes. He's so strong in that area. He had a big strip sack where he came off the edge and played from that three technique position right off the outside shoulder of the guard, went the long way around around Juwan Taylor Jacksonville right tackle and cornered like a true pass rusher and got the football out for a big strip sack.

He's having himself a heck of a year. I think Jalen Phillips had a couple of plays where his edge was not very strong. Had one play where he forced games Robinson to reverse his field and go back for a TfL. I think Andrew Van Ginkle picked it up. But I continue to be impressed by Phillips's work mainly because of the attention that he's commanding. He's drawn lots of double teams guys, lots of chips, lots of attention

in the past protection and the running game. I mean the play that I'm talking about where he's had a very strong edge, And there was some fun back and forth on Twitter about whether or not he did set a strong edge. They tried to crack him with lavisco chanal. He basically tosses the receiver aside, then takes on a long arm from the right tack or left tackle rather, gets that off of him, and then channel comes back and he tosses him aside again and says, I thou

shall not pass. I'm standing right here. You're not gonna get to my edge. And that ability, with the ability to take on so many blockers, I think has created more and more chances for Emmanuel Ogba, who is making the most of his one on one matchups. Bab basically didn't. He disappeared for the Buccaneers game, but other than that, he's been dominant. Like the length, the swat he had to Lion scrimmage, the sack that he had in this game. It's the patented cross chop. Will you put your hands

on me. I'm gonna use that inside hand and swap those things away, dip that shoulder, get around the edge, corner and flat into the quarterback. And he did it very well. He continues to hold the point against the

running game as well. Jacksonville did not have a great rushing day in this one, and some good playoff the edge was helpful for that from both Phillips and Agba as well as Wilkins also thought Zack Seiler did a good job fighting through double teams, and you know, his bull rush puts the lineman across from him and such so much conflict. He put a dude on the ground and had a quarterback hit in the second quarter where he basically just put those long arms out and leans

on you and runs through you. And you better find the say in your pants to anchor, because if you don't, he'll run right through you. Brandon Jones I thought had a rough game this one. He took a bad angle on the very first play of the game that led to a big catch and run on a screen pass. He also got sucked in and caught in the wash as the end man on the defensive formation on a long James Robinson run which was called back for a hold away from the formation, but it didn't really impact

the play. But if if Brandon Jones stays out wide, he doesn't have the opportunity to get to the edge there. So just a tough couple of plays there for Brandon Jones thought. Jerome Baker was much better this week um than he wasn't the previous week. Good speedback on display, sure tackling in space. He was busy on a lot of crossing routes and mesh concepts where they just tried to go after the linebackers underneath, and he didn't give

a whole lot to those guys in most situations. At the defensive backfield, I thought Noah igban Agny had a nice stick in space on the opening drive, a good tackle in space, and he was in great possession on two of those throws that he gave up, just got

to get around and beat quicker. And Brian Flores talked about this on Monday, how he's so close and that's the case in so many areas for this team, whether it's on the offensive side of the football and running lanes, or the passing game and spacing run fits on defense, or you know, a pass here, or they're like just so many plays where they're so close and just hasn't

quite happening for them yet. And coach mentioned how that's the difference sometimes between a game of three yards and a game of six yards, those very fine details and just right now for a guy like no Eganogeny for the Dolphins team, it's just a fraction of the way off and those fine details of where you lose football games. Justin Coleman, I thought had his best game as a Miami Dolphin. Hit a near pick on a deep over route.

Just a great job running the route for the receiver and undercutting that thing looking like xaviing Howard until the very end where he couldn't quite finish the catch. But a great play in a good game for Coleman. Nonetheless, also thought Javon Holland was fantastic once again and his ability to help disguis coverages, like there was a second play in the second quarter where they show zero blitz and the last line of defense is like seven eight

yards off the football. He's five yards off the ball, head up over the inline y tight end and he just takes off back to the post after the snap, and it was a nice disguise and post nap rotation to confuse the young quarterback. And the past breakup he

had was so so very good. Second and fifteen in the second quarter, he's on the field side hash right side of the field and Lawrence wheels out of pressure to the boundary on an unblocked Immanual Ogba and gets himself based to throw with and he tries to throw the ball to Lavisco Shodal, who sets his route down from that same boundary side, and Holland comes all the way over from the other side of the field and gets around Chan for the PBu and the ball was

right on his chest, but he still was able to reach around and poke that thing out without interfering on the hand on the back. A great play. Then he gets another pass break up a couple of plays later, but he was hit for a flag that I strongly disagreed with. Nonetheless, I really love watching this kid play. He is He's absolute looks the part of a strong

of a really star safety in this league. I thought Jacksonville did a good job staying patient And you're probably asking Travis so many positives, where where do they lose the game? Well, I thought they did a good job staying patient and taking what was there and that and finding favorable matchups. An occasional nice run Trevor Lawrence getting out on the move and extending plays was really where their offense produced most of their of their plays and

most of the time against structure. I thought Miami was in good sound position. I thought Wilkins defeated blocks with regularity. The AGAs pass rush and run game was just too much for them to handle toout the course of the game. Thought Jerome Baker had a lot of good reps and

multiple roles and I thought Holland was super strong. Again, some other areas that need to be better, but some of the pick stunts they ran up front are just their hair away from working and getting big production as far as some of those games, and maybe a little bit tighter and better coverage in the back end, maybe X and Byron come back can help you get to those That's kind of the theme of this tape and the season for me through six games, close but just

a hair away from turning those closes into big plays. All right, that's enough tape talk for this podcast. Let's get into the details and get the heck out of here. On Pro Football Focus to a deep passing was not good one for six thirty two yards and an interception. However, here's where Miami was able to get their best offensive output of the year and their fifth highest production day in the last five years, four thirty one yards in the tend to nineteen range. He was eight for eight

with a hundred and fifty one yards. Yeah, that'll play good intermediate passing. I don't care much for PFF grades, but they were very high on to his game. Eighty three point nine in this game. That was a career high but it's not hard to see why he completed seven of ten passes when blitzed bol for touchdowns. He can pleted nine of seventeen when pressured for a hundred and sixteen yards and the bad pick we talked about, but I would argue that was not a product of

the pressure because he escaped the pressure. He just made a bad decision when he confirmed, which he confirmed in his press conference after the game. So an average depth of target eight point five yards, adjusted completion percentage of seventy nine point five, no sacks on twenty pressures or pressured on twenty drop backs, I should say without the sack, average ball out time of two point four six seconds at the running back position. They only forced one miss

tackle that was Malcolm Brown. He averaged four yards after initial contact, that big sixteen yard run where he won his matchup in the gap for a big run. Savan Akhmad two point eight six yards after contact, Miles gask At one point four. We rushed for four first downs on seventeen carries a receiver, yards per route run and yards per target Mike Kasiki three point one nine yards per route run, twelve point eight yards per target. What

a big day. For him. Also Durham Smith one point eight four yards per out run and nine point eight yards per target. A huge day for Durham Smith. Jalen Waddle just one point four six yards per route run five point three eight yards per yard per target. Again, that's kind of the product of his was being asked of him right now, and then mac Hollands one point to two yards per route run and twelve point two yards per target. Big day across the board for these guys.

No sacks in the day, but pressure numbers. Jesse Davis had six according to Pro Football Focus, two of those were QB hits, Austin Jackson five, none of those were QB hits, Leam Eichenberg five one QB hit, Robert Hunt to no QB hits, and Greg Matt's one with no QB hits. Defensively, pressure numbers Jerome Baker and Emmanuel Ogba four apiece, Zack Steeler and Jalen Phillips three apiece, Javon Holland and Nick need Um to apiece, and then five players had one pressure run stops five players had one

as well. Wilkins, Van Ginkle, Roberts and Ogba had two apiece and then ray Kwon Davis and Jerome Baker all had or both had three run stops in this game. Some notable coverage stats. Nick need Um targeted just four times in this game for thirty six yards. Javon Holland allowed two catches on four targets for forty yards and a pass breakup. Noah Ignalgay five receptions on seven targets for sixty four yards and a touchdown. Justin Coleman just three for five thirteen yards, and Eric Rowe one for

three with seven yards allowed. Some next gen stats to US two point five eight time to throw is the fifth quickest in the National Football League, and Malcolm Brown is the only back on the roster with a positive rush yards overexpected. He is at point oh six yards overexpected per rush separation numbers, Waddles tied for eight and the NFL at four point one yards average separation. Mike Kasiki had a big jump this week from two point three yards last week to two point nine this week.

He was getting open all game long, and that's really it. With the injuries and shared backfield work, we don't have guys that qualify in a lot of the next gen areas. Some of the snap counts here, just real quick off the end of the podcast. Offensively, the O line went wire to wire seventy snaps to have played sixty nine.

Jacobe had the one snap in the passing game there, Malcolm Brown and Miles Gascon played twenty five reps apiece, and Malcolm Brown was up in those a gaps a lot like, aligned right behind the guard to just pick up interior pressure a law on the offensive line. I thought he did a great job with that. He was in the game a lot for that. And then Savon Akmed played nineteen snaps, So the most balanced game for

the running backs of the season. Mac Hollands led receivers with sixty eight snaps, Deal and Waddle sixty five, then a big drop off Albert Wilson twenty three, Isaiah Ford five, so plenty of twelve personnel as you'll hear here during smyth fifty eight snap to lead tight ends Mike Gasicky, Fort Hunter long nine and uh Seethan Carter four snaps. So Holland's Waddle smithing Gasicki was basically your twelve personnel package with a three man rotation at running back. Through

the most of this game. Defensively, Christian Wilkins forty six snaps led the way up front as far as interior defensive lineman, Ray Kwon Davis thirty six, Zach Seeler twenty nine, Adam Butler twenty six, and John Jenkins seven, So Butler's

snap count goes down a little bit. He had been near the top of that list through the course of the season so far, but now Wilkins and Davis have a decent gap there between Seiler and Butler, and then Jalen Phillips off the edge fifty four snaps, Andrew Van Ginkle forty six, Emmanuel at one, Brand Scarlett eight snaps, Jerome Baker sixty five at linebacker, a Landon Roberts thirty one, Sam Aguavin fifteen, Duke Riley one snap, Coleman and Igbo in the secondary played sixty six snaps a piece that

was out of sixties six, and the offense played seventy by the way, so both the cornerbacks played the entire game. Nick Needham had forty one snaps in the game. Javon halland played every snap all sixties six, Brandon Jones played forty eight, Eric Road nineteen and Jason mccordy played fourteen, so we saw some accordy at safety and cornerback as well. So some juggling there in the secondary. Being down X and Byron obviously makes it pretty difficult for you on

that back end, But we have some depth there. I thought you saw that in this game. Some special team stats. Clayton Federalum twenty three snap counts, Brandon Scarlett twenty two, uh, Brandon Jones nineteen, and Elijah Campbell eighteen. Scanning the Social my last segment here on this Tuesday podcast, and I apologize for the speed. There was lots of information to get to that I wanted to talk about, especially who was game. But scanning the social, well, I don't have

one this week. I'm not sure there's a whole lot out there that I can dispute right now. At one in five, you kind of just have to wear that, and that's what we're gonna do here and get the heck out of here.
