Dolphins Broncos Preview, Context for Offensive Stats, Flores, Tagovailoa, McCain Media

look to the Denver Broncos will preview that game. We're gonna hear from coach Flora's and some players, and we're gonna open up the context matters with stats file is I tell you why Miami has the ninth best points per game average compared to the total offense in terms of yardage, and why the first number is the only

one that matters. All of that and more on this Wednesday, November eight edition of the Drivetime Podcasts A lot of times brought to you by Auto Nation, where Dolphins fans can sell their vehicle for cash now visit auto nation dot com. And so. On Tuesday night, I was watching

the broadcast copy of the game. I was thinking about some some statistical anomalies or maybe some statistical things that didn't add up, and it brought me back to a few comments we've heard from both Josh Boyer and Brian Flores. And first I want to go ahead and play some audio here from Dolphins defensive coordinator Josh Bowyer back on November the tenth, so last Tuesday, when he was asked about which stats to him out of the most on

the defensive side of the football. Well, I would say in order, I mean, for me, uh, when I look at it, one is that we do what we need to do to win the game. Uh to obviously, uh, we would like to keep the point totals down three. We we would like to get the ball back to the offense as soon as we possibly can so and obviously we're not trying to give up big chunkyards, big plays. Um. You know. But as far as the stats go, you know, like I said last week, I don't really pay any

attention to him. Um, you know, it's more of a factor of us trying to put our players in position to six eed and for us to win the game. And really, ultimately is a defense, what you're trying to do is limit the points and get the ball back to the offense. So that's where Josh Bowyer weighs in back last Tuesday. On Monday, we had Coach Flora's talking about something similar with regards to interceptions from Xavian Howard and sacks from Emmanuel Augba. Here's what coach had to

say about the flash plays on the box score. I think people, you know, put a lot into interceptions and sacks, and I know we've had these conversations before, and they're big plays. And he had a big play yesterday and he's made some big plays, but the rest of his game has really improved as well, getting off of blocks, tackling um, just pure coverage when the balls not being thrown his way. You know, you know, I have this conversation.

I probably haven't had it with you guys, but over the course of the season, let's call it a starter. In the league, there's d end or receiver or dB get a thousand snaps thousands, So if you get ten interceptions with twenty sacks, you're talking about one two of the snaps. Roughly, my math is right, probably isn't because I'm not very good at math, But to me, it's

the other ninety nine that really matters. Yeah, those are huge place they are, But you know, I try to focus on and get those guys really good at at that, and then I think the other two percent kind of one percent kind of happens. So I bring that up because Coach came back to this exact same question that was about xaviing Howard today he was asked about Emmanuel Ogball in the sack production. You heard him talk there about the things that x has grown on in his game.

We saw him play that that deep third the cover three look, drives out of his back pedal, makes a big interception, changes the game, certainly a big time play. The plays you don't think about. The tackle off the edge on Jalen Guyton short of the sticks to put out the Dolphins in a position to get off the field on third down, which they would the charges would convert on fourth down, but the play that sets up a play to get off the football field. Coach talked

about his tackling, getting off blocks off the edge. I've noticed that a few times on the tape, myself exaving Howard holding the point off the edge on the outside run. Here's Coach talking about Emmanuel Ogball, his sacks and more flash stats and again going back to that number one thousand snaps compared to ten sacks, one percent of your plays. Here's coach uh you know, yeah, we talked about it on Monday. I went back and did the math. So the course of the season, most guy, it's called a

thousand plays. The twenty sacks season is an all time season. It's literally two percent of the players. I think we can all do the math. Um, everyone can do the math. But those are the plays that we, you know, are focused and focused on, and I'm focused on the other Those plays are fantastic. We love him, everybody loves them, but those are the flash plays and mh, it's those other players that uh, we as a stat try to

focus on, try to get all those things right. Those those plays that you know no one's really watching, that really helped the team and you know, help your your teammates. I think does a great job from that standpoint, taking on blockers, taking on double teams, setting the edge, you know, getting in the gap, one on the game, or a stunt, getting his hands up, Um, no one could throws communication.

And to finish that point up there with Coach Flora's we also heard Josh boy Or yesterday talk about the trust that the players and coaches have with one another to go ahead and make in game adjustments and hey, I saw this, here's what we can do as far as what I'm seeing on the football filled with the coach might not be able to see on the sideline

and then make adjustments. And Boyer also mentions not just about things that can they can do to help free themselves up, but hey, I can do this and create an opportunity for a teammate because it's all about the eleven guys on the field and what's better for the bigger picture, not the individual. And so the reason I bring up these old clips and these old audios because I had a thought about, you know, the Dolphins offensive production late on Tuesday night that I wanted to bring

on the Wednesday podcast. And obviously these points hold more power coming from Brian Flores than it does Travis Wingfield. But I've been telling people what coach just said for years.

And just some background on me as a kid, I had a white board my bedroom, my childhood bedroom from age like six to well to like twenty when I first moved out because late Bloomer, I know, but I would re memberize lineups, stats, facts, everything I could about not just the Dolphins, but the NFL in general, and this eventually led to more research, the utilization of more resources.

You see me use Pro Football Focus often in the articles and the podcast with their signature stats never grades, but the black and white statistics that are not really up for debate. I love to use those as far as like coverage numbers or pressures that type of thing. But I also spent time a few years back building and launching and operating a website that charted every single pass from every single quarterback in the NFL a few

years back. This is all a long winded way of me trying to tell you that I've long wanted to know why things happen on a football field, not just the result. There it is, be done with it. No, not that I want to know why things are the way they are. Okay, that makes sense. And to put all of this into proper context. For the past fifteen years or so, let's call it, I still get texts and calls from my friends back home who always say, Travis when help settling a debate, we need our football guy.

That's just kind of who I've been my whole life. This is what I care about. So I've been telling everyone for as long as I can remember, you want to judge a quarterback on the five or six I n t s he gets every year. And I once had a friend literally tell me, well, player X has more I n t s than player Why that's one percent of the plays, man? What about the other of

the plays out there? So for me, it's been fun to hear coach talk about the last week or two and help drive the point home from an expert in the field, a PhD level football mind that it's not about the one percent, it's about of plays on the field. So thank you, coach. I could not agree more so. That diet tribe leads me into something I was looking into last night after watching the broadcast copy of the game.

And so there's some more evidence for you saw the game in person on Sunday, watch the All twenty two on Monday, then watch the proadcast copy on Tuesday. I mean, this is what I do, man, that's what I care about. I became interested in why there was such a discrepancy and yardage compared to points for the offense, and Flores talked about the Rams game and the yards discrepancy between

the two teams in that game. How he said, the box score tells you that the Dolphins were dominated in that game, and he certainly did not feel that way. And he's right. Miami controlled that entire game, just like they did against the Chargers, and holding one of the game's most explosive passing offenses to one hundred and eighty seven yards where Herbert averaged over three hundred yards coming in.

They limited Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Jalen Guiton. They were confusing these guys into deciding to run the football so as to not put the ball in harm's way. And that's what Keenan Allen told reporters on Monday. Go ahead and check out Daniel Popper's Twitter. He said as much from Keenan Allen, we didn't want to pass the ball because something bad could happen. We were confused out there. So here's what I found. The Dolphins are ninth and

points per game despite ranking and total offense. How does that disparity happen? The phrase hidden yardage sounds like a generic buzz phrase, but it's the integral part of why Miami's twenty seven point nine points per game, or being posted the best since the Dan Know era here in Miami, and during that three game period, since quarterback to a Tonk of Baloa took the controls, the Dolphins have had possessions that started at the opponent's forty seven, thirty three

and one yard line twice. That's twenty four points. They scored three touchdowns and a field goal out of a possible twenty eight points on four scoring drives. They gained fifty yards out of a possible eighty two on those three drives, so twenty four points out of fifty yards of offense. That's not a bad thing at all, being set up in the opponent's territory and putting points on

the board with touchdowns after turnovers. It's also not a bad thing that three possessions have essentially been taken away by the defense or special teams putting the ball in the end zone. Over those last three games, the Dolphins have nine turnovers. That includes the blocked punt and turnovers on downs. From those nine turnovers, they've cashed in six touchdowns and two field goals. That's a possible sixty three points right seven times nine sixty three. They've gained. They've

scored forty eight points out of those nine turnovers. So when you only have to go thirty three yards or one yard on to two touchdown drives, or you have three touchdowns taken away from the offense because the defense or special team scored, you're not gonna get yardage out of those possessions, but you get the points. So that's why points rule. That's why they keep track of points and not yards on the scoreboard to find out who

wins football games. It's pretty simple if you ask me, and I wanted to put context of that so we can understand why the Dolphins are a top ten scoring offense, but the yardage is not there. You need context of that kind of thing. Let's go ahead and get back to coach for two more questions at his Wednesday morning media availability. We're gonna do a feature on Shack loss In this week and talk about the energy he brings this football team, both from a character standpoint and a

production standpoint. So I wanted to ask coach Flora's about how he balances finding that balance between serious focus and let's kind of get to the task at hand, to being light and having things kind of not so serious at all the time, and how they can find that balance and how much shack loss and helps create that balance in the Dolphins locker room. And look, I think anytime you look what we do is it's not easy playing football. And yeah, you have to be demanding. It's

a physical game, it's a violent game. So anyway you can make it fun. As a coach, that's I think you need to try to do that. I think each coach has their own different personality. My mind is different than a lot of other guys. M another, A lot of a lot of other guys are different in mind, and each player is the same way. So but I think as a coach, the best approach is to let players know be themselves. Um, and coaches have to be

themselves also. I think you know, if you're genuine and authentic, and I mean you can have you have peace with the things you say and how you interact with people. If you're making it up on the fly, then I think people see through that too. So look, they're they're they're young guys. They want to have they want to have fun. I mean, they're they want to laugh and joke around with each other, and they joke around with the coaches and h we jump back and shocks shocks,

full of life shocks. Um, I've got a great laugh apparently, and uh, he's a lot of fun to be around. You. You don't want to temper that, you know, as a coach, you don't want to You want to let him be himself. Um, bring bring his energy to the rest of the group, and they feed off of it. And I think it makes sense a better team. And we'll go ahead and get one more question here for coach Flora's as a prelude into our Dolphins and Broncos preview with Drew Locks.

Uncertain status for Sunday up in the air right now. Coach was asked about the challenges of preparing for two different quarterbacks. I mean, you watch more. We've they both played, so there's plenty of film on both quarterbacks. Were really really all three. So UM, we watch it and we um, we evaluate those guys that strengths and weaknesses in conjunction with our game plan and see at the games it's called differently with those guys in there. If it is,

we don't have to adjust. But I think they do a good job working with the strengths of each different quarterback, so it'll be a tough test either way. And look, they got a lot of really good young skill players. Judy Hamler no fan good back, so I think that's it's to be a tough test for us. So that you have a coach Flores is Wednesday morning media availability a perfect prelude into our Dolphins and Broncos preview. Week eleven is already here, man, the season flying by as

it does every single year. Six and three Dolphins at the three and six Broncos Sunday November four or five kickoff once again, the last four or five kickoff schedule for now, we'll see what happens in December, but the last four or five schedule kickoff for your Miami Dolphins, Denver, Colorado and power field forty two degrees partly cloudy nine

mile prour wins. And I always like to look at the comparisons of where these teams are in their particular building process with a particular moment or I should say stage of their program. Are they in? And Brian Flores and Vic Fangio both were hired at the start of twenty nineteen to their first ever head coaching jobs, and since then both coaches have used high draft picks on a quarterback, Tongue by Lowa obviously going fifth overall and

Drew Lock going forty to the Broncos. In twenty nineteen, the Dolphins are three and oh and game started by Tongue by Lowo the Broncos six and six with Drew Lock in the lineup. He came off the bench last year and went four and one down the stretch and has had some ups and downs this year with both injury and wins and losses for the Broncos uh this season, but they're in search for their first win at home

this year. They're oh and four in Denver. The Dolphins are three and one in road games, so an interesting battle. They're back and forth. But one of Miami's keys to victories has been that strong special teams play. We talked about it with the hidden yardage in the context of Miami winning field position Jachem Grant having three punt returns of twenty one, nineteen and eighteen yards. That helps you flip the field and put the ball in oppositions territory

to start your drive. And with the often strong performance on Sunday against the Chargers, they have now jumped to the number one spot on Football Outsiders d v o A with special teams rankings and Danny Croftsman discussed the benefit of having a head coach with a background in the game's third phase and as a Dolphins fan, you know by now the coach Flora has got his start

in the special teams part of the game. And on Tuesday, Danny Crossman was asked about the benefit of having a head coach who does have such a rich background in special teams and how it kind of maybe opens up a dialogue and a conversation between the two. Here's Coach Danny Crossman on the conversations he and Brian Flora. Is having the benefit of having a head coach with such a good background and special teams play well. I think it's big, you know, with having that background that that

flow has. Is the communication is I don't want to see simpler, uh, but it's an easier conversation because he understands a lot of the concepts techniques, both in terms of you know what we're looking for and you know how it's going to affect or what impact it could happen on the opposition because he understands both sides of it. So obviously having that background is is big for me and and big for us in terms of our communication.

And so the Dolphins do jump to that number one spot on Football Outsiders d v O, a special Teams rankings, a nice honor to hold atop that perch in the NFL. And so that's always a matchup you look at. And in this game, we're gonna start off with the first matchup I'm looking at between the Dolphins and Broncos. To run the football. The Dolphins enter Week eleven with ranked rushing offense. The Broncos have the twenty three ranked running defense.

Something's got to give there and behind running back savan achmed last week his eighties six rushing yards against the Chargers, the Dolphins had their second highest total this year, with a buck eleven on the ground. Of course, some of that given back at the end of the game with some kneel downs and some runs to kind of help shorten the game Towards the end of that contest, the

Dolphins are likely to dodge inclement weather. As we talked about, forty two degrees on Sunday on this mid November trip to the Rocky Mountains could be a lot worse out there, But as the weather cools down, running the football becomes increasingly important, as offensive line coach Steve Marshall said he likes the direction of this Dolphins run game where it's trending. He talked about it being a big emphasis on his

press conference on Tuesday. We played that for you on the podcast yesterday, so I'll go back and check that out if you have not heard it. But the Denver defensive line has played so many different players up front this year. No defensive tackle for the Broncos has exceeded

thirty seven percent of their defensive snaps. So forcing Denver into that deep dive rotation getting multiple guys in the field could only benefit the Dolphins to keep that running game turning and getting positive yards throughout the course of the game. A successful run game creates more opportunities also in the passing game. A perfect segue into our second key matchup to build off that running game, and Tunga Bayla has been under pressure only fifteen dropbacks since assuming

the starting role in Week eight. According to Pro Football Focus. A combination of solid pass protect him, a quick release that he has that quick trigger, and a scheme devised around getting the football out of his hands quickly, all play apart in Miami sturdy play up front. For the first time since eight team, the Dolphins did not allow a sack on their quarterback and had just five pressures

in that game allowed. And for context, Miami's defense averages eighteen point eight pressures per game, so more than a third less of what the average Dolphins pressures are per game. They allowed that on their own quarterback. And we've seen Miami implement the run pass option, zone re looks, wildcat packages, fly sweet motion, plenty of diversity designed to keep the defense off balance, and Tongue of Byaloa is computing of his passes off play action for six point nine yards

per pass, one touchdown and no interceptions. With the running game finding more success last week, perhaps play action could play a bigger role this week, and we talked about the quick release. NFL next gen stats has Tongue Byloa with the sixth quickest time from snap to throw two point five four seconds on average, And you go back to Ryan Fitzpatrick when he was playing. It's part of the scheme because he was fourth on that list with

snap to time to throw. So the Dolphins quarterbacks get it out quick by design a good running game with play action, and that quick release can help slow down outside linebacker for Denver Bradley Chubb, who's thirty quarterback pressures and five and a half sacks are both in the

National Football League. And we heard coach Flores talk about preparing for a couple of quarterbacks that brings us into our third and final matchup preview here overwhelming the young quarterback whoever it is, because he Vic Fangio announced that Drew Lock would be questionable to practice this week's standing from that rib injury that he suffered in the game

on Sunday at Las Vegas. If Lock can't go, it'll be another sophomore quarterback and Brett Rippon and Sunday the Dolphins through the kitchen sink at the Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert. We talked about the confusion that Keenan Allen reported two reporters on Monday that Miami's many looks were confusing to the Los Angeles offense. If the Dolphins can come up with another defensive dive plan like that and execute on a variety of pressure looks once more play coverage.

Mix it in both ways. It could make life tough on another young signal caller. Denver does utilize their fair share of condensed packages with multiple tight ends. You've got twelve personnel on the field with two tight end sets to help assist in their past protection and how the Dolphins can combat those looks, whether it's calling the base defense for dbs are showing that Amba pressure package with multiple defensive backs, you know, eight defensive backs on the field.

Mixing up the looks is always key for this defense. The Denver offense is, however, loaded with playmakers at the skill positions. Like coach Flora said, running backs Melvin Gordon and Philip Lindsay have combined for eight hundred and fifty two yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns. Rookie receiver Jerry Judy leads the Broncos with five hundred and fifty two

receiving yards at sixteen point two yards per catch. He's a big play guy down the field, and tight end Noah fan is catching sixty six percent of his targets for three hundred and sixty seven receiving yards this season, but since Week five, the start of Miami's five game

winning streak. The Dolphins defense is first in total quarterback rating against at thirty six point oh that's out of a hundred points per game allowed seventeen point two and second and quarterback pressures with eight six and completion percentage also a second place at fifty seven percent. So good on this young Broncos offense. Will be a good challenge for them to see how they go up against this

tough Miami defense. So more Broncos personnel. Garrett Bowls was drafted four years ago and he has had a revelation this season, having a great year at left tackle. Has not allowed a sack and surrendered only eight quarterback pressures per Pro Football Focus. Three different tackles, however, have started

at right tackle this year for the Broncos. That, of course, the predominant position that goes up against defensive end Emmanuel Ogba when he lines up off the offenses right side predominantly. He does play inside two as well, obviously, and we'll flip sides now and then, but mostly off the offenses right side. Fangio also declared the defensive tackle Shelby Harris

would be out for the game. He leads Denver interior a lineman in both quarterback shirts and run stops, But the guy that leads the team and run stops is linebacker Alexander Johnson. He has the second most snaps on the defense with six hundred and twenty three and has forty run stops, nearly double the next highest run stopping defender on that Broncos defense. He has seventy six tackles,

that's eleventh most in the NFL. The player who's second run stops on Denver, for my money, is their best player. He has six hundred and twenty nine snaps played safety Justin Simmons. He's a fifth year safety putting together once again another fantastic season. Three interceptions, five passes defense and fifty eight total tackles on the year for Justin Simmons. More good production out of that safety and Denver's best cover corner has been Bryce Callahan, a jack of all trades.

He's played three hundred and sixteen snaps out wide, one hundred and eighty six inside in the slot, and fifty in the box. Per Pro Football Focus, He's holding opposing quarterbacks to a fifty four point eight percent completion rate and just four point to four yards per target. Really good year so far for Bryce Callahan. As far as the Broncos scheme offensively twenty eight points and total offense, they are nineteenth in rushing and twenty three in passing

in the NFL. Right now. We talked last week about the Chargers predominant eleven personnel scheme, the fourth highest rate in the NFL. Denver's four hundred and seventeen snaps out of one running back, one tight end, three receivers is the seventh most in the NFL. That's a typical offense you'll get a nickel defense against with five defensive backs,

maybe even more on those third long situations. In Miami did utilize five defensive backs on at least forty nine snaps to combat the Chargers three receivers look three receiver looks rather and brought that third safety Brandon Jones onto the field for twenty six snaps. So whether that's big nickel with three safeties and two cornerbacks or your dime defense with three safeties and three cornerbacks, Miami has options. But Denver's next most frequent package is the twelve personnel package.

We talked about that in the past. Protection scheme portion of this preview. With two tight ends on the field and two receivers, they run that seven team pointe of the time compared to sevent of the time out of eleven personnel in Miami went from facing a top five blitz rate team and the Cardinals, to the least frequent blitzing team in the Chargers. Now they get a team right in the middle of the pack. Denver brings an extra rusher on of their snaps that's eighteenth most in

the NFL. But it works out for Vic Fangio because only bringing pressure the eighteenth most, they have the fifth highest pressure rate in the NFL. They get pressure on opposing quarterbacks at twenty nine percent of the time per Pro Football Reference, and the Broncos defense ranks seven and scoring seventeen in total defense, with a rushing defense that ranks and a passing defense that ranks in the NFL. So plenty more notes on the preview up on Miami

Dolphins dot Com. Taking a look at Dolphins and Broncos on Sunday from Denver. Go ahead and check that out. Miami Dolphins going for their sixth straight win. And with that, let's go ahead and finish up this podcast with some

player media availability from this Wednesday, November. Let's go ahead and start here with the Vonte Parker, who first was asked about the explosion he had in the second half of last season and if he feels he has to do the same thing this year for the offense to really hit it stride to make a place I gotta do in you know, I'm not worry about like stats and at there. I just want to win. And that's what we're doing right now. He's gonna keep keep doing it.

And how about his timing and rhythm with two a tongue of Valoa. Yeah, we know, spend a little time though, Darren pat Is like when we're not up something, get get passed on the side, you know, get the time and time and good and and just had to bring

it over to the games. Let's go ahead and pick it up next here with Dolphins safety Bobby McCain, and he was asked in reference to the Keenan Allen quote about the Dolphins defense confusing the Chargers offense to the point where they wanted to run the football to avoid potential catastrophe. McCain was asked about that question or about

that instance. Here's his response to that question. Just just applying pressure and putting pressure on the on the quarterback, on the aligned, on the coordinator, just putting pressure on those guys and making them up, making them feel less, making us because you don't know where we're coming from. You don't know what we're doing. And that's a good thing.

You know, it's good to hear. Um. You know that we have good game plans each and every week coming out starting off and and then the week some things may change. And the day before the game, you never know. But that's just being able to adapt. We have a big sign of back of our runnings and adapt to die.

So um, not literally, but you understand, um. And just just just making sure that all the guys know like what where they're supposed to be, and you know, like it confuses offenses, man, they don't know what to do, and it confuses the quarterback, which is the exactly who we want to do. And both Pro Football Focus and Pro Football Reference have Dolphins safety's Eric row and Bobby McCain with a combined four miss tackles out of eighty

two opportunities seventy eight tackles, only four misses. I wanted to ask Bobby, if there was something consistent about the teams in football or just in general across all levels of football, if they're was a couple of trades consistent with quality tackling, here's Bobby definitely, definitely you have to practice tacking will and that's one of our pillers on

our defense. Um, I'll set the edge tackle, communicating definity part of the field and understand that you know, tackling it when you tackle, when you when you make sure tackles, you know, that just puts the ball back down, that

gives you opportunity to get the ball back. So if you're not your guys, you guys aren't making out there making sure tackles and out balls getting past you and breaking tackles and things of that nature, then those are big plays, and especially in the back end, like I said earlier, So just making like that's one thing we emphasize on each and every week, not just training camp, each and every week, just making sure we're sure tackling

and we get the guys on the ground. Let's go ahead and finish this thing up with quarterback to a tungle by Loa and he was first asked about the pressure of being a rookie quarterback on a team that's six and three right now in the thick of things and trying to keep this winning streak rolling. Here's two on the pressure of playing with a winning streak. Well,

I think which flow, um alleviates all of that. Um. You know, he tells all of us rookies, just all of us players in general, to just come out and you know, perform to the best of our abilities. And you know, that's all they ask of us. I think for me, UM, I mean, I just myself to to you know, get the guys going and hopefully try to do good with what I need to to help our team become successful. UM. But but yeah, other than that, there's really no pressure. UM. I just think everyone on

this team, offense, defense, and special teams. UM, I mean, we just all want to do good and we we fight for one another out there on the field, and we play, you know, as a family, and we play for one another as well. UM. So I think, um, you know, that alleviates all the pressure and all the outside talk. And earlier in the podcast, I talked about the Dolphins production off of turnovers special teams in defense. Here's two A tongue Valoa on the added urgency when

the defense makes a play for him. Yeah, I think you you always want to end the drives and a kick, um, whether it's a field goal or or a punt. I mean, you know you you always want to end it in a kick. But when the defense gives us the ball back, um, you know, we're just thinking opportunity. It's opportunity for us to go put points on the board. Um. You know, for what the defense did for us and so for us repaying it, you know, we need to put points

on the board. So I would say yes to that question. And up next to it was asked to kind of break down two of US teammates and Jachem Grant, the receiver and running back Savan Akhmed. He starts here first with Achem Grant with a really cool note about brotherhood routes. I don't know what those were called or what they met, but here's two on Jachem and brotherhood routes and his selfless mentality. Is a phenomenal player. Um. You know he

he does a lot of brotherhood ratty. And what I mean by brotherhood routes is, you know, he he runs routes knowing he's not going to get the ball, um, but to get other guys open. Um. And then also when his number is called, you know, he's he's there to make plays. And it's not just as a wide receiver, it's also in the kicking game as well. UM. But he's just a really good teammate at the same time. And then with Savan Um, you know, he he's a

rookie as well. And I mean to any time that I can give someone like that, you know, some love. You know, he's he's undrafted, um, you know, and he's he's just trying to make a name for himself. UM. And I think he did a really good job for us and um protection and then also you know on the ground when every time he got the ball running so um. You know, every time that I can give credit to the you know, all our other guys, um that I don't really have that opportunity, I'm I'm gonna

do it. So and so there he goes your quarterback for your Miami Dolphins. Very busy the fun episode here today on this Wednesday edition of Drive Time.
