Drive Time: Dolphins Seahawks Week 3 All 22 Review

We'll also do top tapes. I do have five of those. Actually I had six and I had to bump one. We'll talk about snap counts and everything we do on the Monday Night slash Tuesday Morning edition of the Draft Time Podcast from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist

Health Training Complex. This is the aforementioned podcast, starting off with the offense in this one lowest yardage output under Mike McDaniel, lowest epa in a game offensively since twenty twenty one in the Buffalo game when Tua got hurt on the first drive, the fame to put some respect on Just Davis's name game for good measure the two thousand and seven game at Buffalo had a higher EPA than this game did. Ever, when John Beck threw the

ball backwards into Dante Whitner's hands for a touchdown. Now, that Jets game, I think it was the week prior to that we lost forty to thirteen. That EPA was just a few points more in the negative. Then this one was for the Dolphins. And guess what, the Dolphins didn't even have a turnover and they still got to that mark. That is the level of futility you're discussing

right here. The first two plays I thought created a little bit of hope, a glance to devon a chan in the quick game, creating conflict with pre snap motion and a run fake at the linebacker level. Get that little weak flip play that we run a staple of this offense, even though it was like a hit or miss for a four yard loss or a eight yard game last year. And they react, giving the play side flow to create an angle for Jalen Wright, and all of a sudden you have the ball at the plus

forty yard line of the opposition two plays into the game. Okay, we have a plan here for QB two, but then it was seemingly over the second and one play action had nothing there. I don't know what the thought or the design was that. I think there are too many plays in this offense right now where it's a one man route concept and then everyone else is kind of

just like running to space. And it looks great when it works, but when that first read's not there or the quarterback's too late to get to it, it turns into some ugly, ugly plays. They get big hits in your quarterback because protection doesn't hold up for four seconds in this league. And then you get people clipping off plays of said plays and putting them on Twitter, seving

past protection stinks. When that's not the case here. Then we go to a full back dive to Jeff Wilson, who plays that position for the first time on that rep, and that's all we've ran from that look, whether it's a chan Ingold or Jeff Wilson, and what do you know, it gets shut down. This is a trend that is developing or has developed. We outsmart ourselves and go away from what works and keep sticking to the things that

don't work, like the fullback dive here. It's crazy, you know, I still don't want to hear from anybody about play calling unless you know how to draw up a front and how to get it properly blocked, and how you can marry your route concepts off of that run game, because that's what play calling is. If you don't know that,

you probably can't weigh in. But I will concede that even though the calls for it maybe don't know why right now, they're right because this offense could have been a three yards and a cloud of dust, and actually it was more like eight yards and a cloud of dust and just grind out a football game and try to win in the fourth quarter. And I hate that style of football, but when you don't have a quarterback,

that's what you have to do. That's what Dave Wantsta did because he didn't have a quarterback, right and you could have done that. You could do that on Monday Night. You could do that against the Patriots, you could do that against the Colton probably try to find a way

to win all those games. Will that happened? I don't know, because you have this complex offense where the wrong routes get ran on the regular And I was talking to Kyle Krabs about this, like, is it just because everybody else besides Reek and Waddle doesn't have Well, we know there's time in the offense because I saw Tanner Connor run a wrong route and he's in his third year in the system, and Kyle's like, well, Reek runs a

lot of wrong routes too. So you have this very complex offense that has a change at the main position, the guy that runs the entire thing, the extension of the offense itself in the quarterback, and rather than adapting, we continue the same things, which gives you the result

you got yesterday. Where everything's too complex. You have all this ugly, ugly operation which we'll go ahead and get into where I just thought, if you just dumb it down and run the football and commit to it, and I even into bad looks, even into bad numbers, because that was one of the first thing we heard when coach got here was sometimes the defense knows you're gonna

run the ball, and you still have to run it. Anyways, if you're a good running offense, and this offense is a good running offense, right now, go watch the tape. I dare you go watch the tape and show and look at the running lanes, this offense had go look at the pocket when they had well designed concepts off

of that for Skyler to throw from. Now, there was a couple of plays where it got ugly in pass protection, and that tends to happen when you get down and we'll come back to this, but it has just not been the main problem. But it got so ugly after those first couple of plays. The first play of the next drive, the snap is late, and this was a constant theme throughout for a split flow look where Liam pulls out, but because of how disjointed the timing was

across the board. You know, Rob Jones is running zone to his right and Liam's doing split flow back to his left. They run into each other and they crunch Skyler Thompson between them. It's comical. It's comical football. Then Skyler runs directly backwards into Devon e Chan at the mesh point and gives him a hug and the football and it goes for eight yards because the run blocking is very good and eight Chan's very good. But this

just persisted all game long. The very basic operation the very day one of peewee football, getting off the snap was a challenge in this game. I mean, we don't have to detail each of these. I assumed you could see it on the broadcast or even those of you that go back and watch the tape if you do that, if you're brave enough to do it. For this game,

we couldn't get off the snap. And that's how you turn an all time bad offensive performance in like we saw throw a screen into a two by two look and brought just one offensive lineman out there that was in track. Because you have a one on one block that Brewer has to now hit a reach block outside the numbers. And he's the most athletics in the NFL and he's playing his butt off. He's been one of

my favorite players to watch so far. But literally no center can make that block given those circumstances where he's one on one against the player in space that's fifteen yards wider than he is. But Wattle reversus fields and make a play. And that's a good example of what I'm talking about to shrip things down. Maybe don't do it that way, but just put the ball in the hands of your playmakers and stop trying to run the same bells and whistles that you you know that made

you so successful when everybody was healthy and going. I just feel like the offensive design has jumped the shark that way, like just all these different concepts, I do things to create bad eyes and fall steps, and then what you got was this convoluted, you know mess that you put out there on tape. Let me say this again, the offensive line complaints. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna try to call you guys out individually, and I know that I'm addressing people that don't listen to the podcast.

I gotta stop doing that, but I see it. It's what permeates on my timeline. You know, the other this new wave of content creators that are getting behind microphones and we'll just basically have confirmation bias about the offensive line. Those are the ones that I keep seeing on my timeline. So I apologize to the dedicated draft time listeners that know better, but gosh, it is tough to see on

social because that is just not what is happening. And I don't again, don't want to call anybody out because you know who am I to sit here and be this wrong about this team this year? And you know, bitch you guys for it. But you know I will generally say, if that's your takeaway, you just straight up don't know like what you're watching. I'm sorry to say it.

This is a complex game, and I saw a tweet asking what do we do one when they pulled Rob Jones backside on run action to pick up this front side nine technique and you pull the left guard to go pass block a wide nine technique rusher from that position. It's one of the most common core concepts in this offense and in this league in general. I just implore you, if you want to fire off those takes, just take

take a minute. It reminds me of the tweet about how come the Dolphins didn't sign Tyler Hunting to their practice squad a month ago because they can't do that? And you're saying, like this team has no foresight, They literally can't do that, and you're getting mad about a rule that they can't do something on I just take a minute. Don't fire off a take. Go take five minutes and watch one video, watch read one article. There's all kinds of content out there to learn the game

before firing off those takes. Otherwise it's just confirmation bias and you're repeating what you've heard. You know, the great Chris Career quote will get you a bunch of likes on Twitter if you say it. I know that's how it works. But the offensive line's been the best part of the way this offense is playing right now. The receivers haven't been good. The quarterback play was subpar before yesterday, and then yesterday it dove into the abyss deeper than

the Titan submersile similar implosions there. But my god man, it's a non starter. None of that even matters. When you can't get out of the huddle, you can't get to the line, and you can't run a clean operation, nothing else matters. You can have Randy Moss, you could have Tom Brady, you could have Barry Standers, you could have Wes Welker, you could have the entire best players of their positions across the NFL. If you can't get

that right, you will never ever go anywhere. And none of that happened throughout the course of the game, So you had no chance after the snap of the football for the majority of the game. And then from a design element, I complained a lot about the second one calls in that first two drives. The toss to eight chan you had a numbers disadvantage, which that's a quarterback thing.

You gotta check out of that to the strength, run fake action to the same side, and then flipped it to that side, so you were out numbered, out hadded, as it were, and you false keyed them into that direction and ran them into the play that they were miss key into that direction. Over three bang bang bang, trek one trick two strike three, good night. It's the

same things over and over on the negative plays. We just had a total lack of synchronicity the second and one flip to hun on the second drive, you can legit point out five different starts off the football at the snap. One guy pops up, one guy still in his stands, one guy's moving to the red. They're just playing at different times. And this offense, you know this, you all better be on the exact same string on the exact same timeline. We had a snap where one

ref is winding the clock. You know, he's doing the windmill arm motion. The other is out of position, and Alec and Julian just flat out stop the play. And I'm not sure because I don't have audio on the all twenty two if there was a whistle live there or they just couldn't hear it. But all game things like this happened for the Dolphins, However, Mixed in between that, there were some of the concepts that we've grown to know and love, and I thought plenty of good conflict

created in those short spurts of football. And you know what I might eve gonna address. I got kind of crapped on for some of the positives yesterday. That's how I covered the team. Man, I'm going to tell you what happens on most plays, and if it's good, I'll tell you it's good. If it's bad, I'll tell you it's bad. Okay, so we're not going to just like skip the good ones because there was way more bad.

I'll do all of that. But they throw a glance where they put a will linebacker in two way conflict, a screen set up with a pull pass protection action that removes the second level of defense of the screen side. We had mesh open up on the first third down of the game, but we never got to it from a quarterbacks perspective. So I think that's how I described

this game. Inconsistent at times, completely sloppy operation that puts you behind the eight ball in a game where the quarterbacks saw nothing at all at the course of the game, and that is how you wind up with two hundred yards and three points. It's that simple. At three forty six to play in the second quarter, we ran this two man route concept I talked about it earlier, where Waddle and Connor were in the same part of the field. They were on the same stripe of the grass twenty

yards down the field. Offense is trying to maximize space. Defense is trying to decompressed that space, compress that space, and when you run your route to the same part of the field, you've done the defensive job for them. And Skyler throws it to Connor, who had to run around Wattle to get to a spot. And it was tander because this is a staple of our playbook that I've seen play out before. It's a it's a post

between split safeties that's designed to create conflict there. And then off the side that that post comes from, you run the overroute from the other side of the formation and off of that and you pretty much free up that whole deep portion of the outside of the of the perimeter of the football field and they ran right to the same spot. Connor ran the wrong the round the wrong route there, Like dude, we stink. It's like

Adam gase eras stuff. The next play, after a false false start, mind you, we have trips and they throw an illegal formation flag and the three receivers of the trip side stopped playing football. Again no audio, so I can't tell you what happened, but the officials never indicated they were shutting the play down. And what's worse is to the boundary. On that play, Tyreek is one on one versus Devon Witherspoon and he smokes him. Such as Life of Half calls blast those right into the sun.

I will not put that on Skyler because they didn't run a route into the end zone. So what do you want him to do there? You know I was irate live because I saw him just holding the ball or anybody out there, and I don't want to throw the ball short of the end zone on triple zero's at the end of the half. Makes no sense. Let's cover the quarterback here, Let's take our first break. We're coming in hot. Let's take our first break, come back

and do the rest of the offense. That's next Draft Time podcast to your host, Travis Wingfield, brought to you by automation E. That's me doing the dolphin segment two on an All twenty two review. We've got fourteen more of these to do quarterback play, even the two plays that worked to start the game, like you could tell pure panic, choppy feet. Then we ran that flip play and he had no idea what to do with this. For go watch it on tape. He doesn't know what

he's doing. We went through decades of quarterback play like this, and I kept saying, I wish you guys would appreciate two of more because even this little stuff like this, Tua is so adept and so nails at it, and when you don't see him out there, it really gets highlighted. Now.

I thought he started off despite those reps just fine, but once he lost the handle on that third down snap and got blasted, it's you could the confidence meter was like in Mortal Combat when you're fighting you know, sub zero, and he hits you with an uppercut and like your health bar dwindles, That's what his confidence bar was doing in this game. It just looked a little too fast for him. Actually a lot too fast for him.

On that play, he had Barrios coming over on a drag route and it was the most separation Bracks and Barrios has created since two thousand and four, and it would have been a first down based on the concept. I think it was an early read in the count, but when you have to look down to the football, that obviously changes the way you see the field and

the play's over from there. It just reminded me so much of John Beck, and I think the time to throw in this structure, of the structure of this offense tells you where he's at with how he sees it. You know, two was under two point three seconds this year so far. Skyler yesterday was around three seconds again. And on that Cohu pick possession. After he got the pick at the six yard line, he's got Wattle on

a very cut and dry route combination. The Seahawks flood the field with all their defensive backs and leave the boundary two on two Wattle versus or Wattle and Connor versus two defensive backs and the linebacker that could flat factor into like a slant route on that portion of the field. He vacates to the field right away at the snap, and they run this smash flat concept, and smash is typically an inbreaker or a hitch with a

flag route behind it. So you try to pull a cloud defender up and run that out route against a half field safety. That's what they do, only the smash part of the route concept went to the flat. So a flag and a flat and Wattle just runs this awesome route to get open to the corner. But he looked it off and simultaneously bailed on a clean pocket, which is his whole game. In a nutshell, it was wide open for a touchdown. The little floater screen he

threw to John new Smith. That got John, who blasted, you have to find a way to drop the arm angle and slot that thing in there. You can't just float it up in the air and have the ball in flight for two seconds because two seconds in this league, linebackers can cover twenty yards aground. And if we get

that completed, he's got a big play. But because you see Aaron Brewer and toront Arms said both had the edge completely sealed, and if you look at their body language, they come off that play like you gotta be kidding me. We had that thing blocked perfectly. His touch on those throws reminds me of Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill on wheels and screens and plays where you had to kind of finesse the ball, you know, your wedge game when you want

to take something off your swing. He has no ability to throw that ball with touch and feathered in there the very next play like, I don't know, do we have to do this? Do you guys want to hear this? I don't know. You don't need every example, I guess, but this performance should show you what you need to

know about field vision. And don't get me wrong, there was a reason the teams are paying fifty million bucks a year for the best, a reason why the entire operation in this league is built around your quarterback, why they are more important than anybody else in your organization.

There is no tougher task in sports to decipher what multi million defensive coordinator are doing from their structure standpoint, how the eleven multimillion dollar athletes move within that scheme, and how your concept is designed to attack it, and how it will play out two or three seconds into the future with anticipation. It is tough, and Skyler he hadn't done it, yet he can't do it through three years. It could not be more clear to me. That's just it,

That's all it is. That was the whole game. It was Josh Rosen worse. Actually with Josh, he had the arm talent that fooled people into thinking he was a Round one quarterback, but it was all over his tape, playing out of rhythm, off time and just not seeing things develop. I don't know. I've got a pretty good run on quarterback scouting going back to twenty eighteen that class, and I can just tell you when a guy has

that feel and that vision when he doesn't. And even with time in the system, it's not usually something a guy that doesn't have it eventually gains. You either have it or you don't, and it can grow from the guys that do have it. And we've seen that with guys like Gino Smith with a guy, for instance, like Baker Mayfield, who's gotten better at this stage of his career, with a guy Sam Darnold kind of has some of that feel as well, but trying to grow it into

a player that doesn't have it. That's like Banksy Man trying to grow a flower and concrete. Okay, one last thing here. We hit Tyreek on that dig before the half like seventeen yards, and we started the third core with the exact same play. When we completed it, the ball was late as hell, and then in the third quarter it was there again and Skyler eats it. I just cannot watch this anymore. Pull the plug. I'm done. I I'm done. Do what you want, pull the plug.

I'll kill you. I thought Boyle's throw to John hus Smith on the crossing route was the best example of anticipation, understanding of leverage and ball places when we got all game long. Then I liked his quick hookup to Julian Hill innocuous as it is a five yard hookup route over the football like seems obvious. But that was the lone two play bright spot in the position really all day. On the fourth and goal miss, he was so late. If he's on time to eight Chan on the flat

that was wide open. By the way, if it's one hundred yard pick six the other way, just can't win that way. Individuals stand out's offensively. I thought Waddle that corner route took an inside release against outside leverage and still got to the outside. He does that all the time he keeps catching the football with his hands, he's getting yack after he does it. Aside from eighth, Gan Waddle has been the best skill player on offense, and

both those guys have been really good. I thought Jalen Wright speed popped even though he doesn't know what he's going halftime. It seems like in certain pre snap alignments. He also had a great pass protection play where he's stone wall of blitz where he got the most immediate pressure, identified it, picked it up and actually stopped the rusher cold in his tracks. That looks great. Part of that with fast, you know, ball carrying speed, I'll take that.

The offensive line I thought played really well in the game again, you know, consistent big lanes in the run game. Here's how the I'll give you some numbers if the tape talk doesn't do it for you. Here's how the runs went to start this game. Nine yards wise, nine four stuffed in short yards for nothing, nine four negative one eight thirteen halftime. Those are all good runs. More

than half of those are great runs. If you're keeping track at home in terms of offensive versus defensive wins, that's categorized as forty percent of the yardage to go on first down. So if it's first and ten, if you get four plus yards as an offensive win. If you get three or less, that's a defensive win. And second down you want to get half the yard. So if it's if it's second and eight and you make it third and four, that gives you a win. If not,

it's a loss. And third and fourth down you just convert or you don't win or loss based upon how you convert on third and fourth down. The Dolphins were six and two in their running game run plays in the first half, a success rate of seventy five percent. Usually you're thrilled with fifty percent, just FYI, and in pass pro there was plenty there too. The screen pass I mentioned to John news Smith earlier. The very next play, the Seahawks show the sim pressure look, and Jeff Wilson,

I think takes the wrong assignment and scan protect. But that's why teams run those sim pressures. They show you six and send four, and a fifth rusher comes from a guy that wasn't even in the rush equation on a delayed blitz off the edge and a cat blitz, a cornerback blitz. The line squeezes it that means all five get tight and get your windows inside taken care of. And the Seahawks only bring four, which, by the way,

that's an Aaron Brewer trade. He calls protections when two was on there, and I thought he did a great job with it. And you see Austin process the delay, and after he's successfully squeezed a five technique who crossed his face, he kicks back outside and shuts down the defensive back pressure where hefe should have been the guy out there. It's really, really, really good work by the

five guys up front. And the reason I say I thought Jeff Wilson was wrong was he helped inside, which is your first order, scan inside to out take the immediate pressure away first. But when we squeezed it perfectly, he should have had that wide edge, but we still got it done. But Skyler rushed his throat into a double covered man and missed an open John new Smith. And that's the kind of theme of this tape for Skyler trusting things to play out as they should and

not playing on time. In the quick game, individually, Aaron Brewer was outstanding again. He's been good every game. I think Testead has been exceptional when he's been out there. Now his coming in another the lineup is rough to deal with because that offensive line continuity is so imperative. Same with Austin he was fantastic once again. I think leam Miikenberg has had the best three game run of his career, playing well above replacement level. His angles of

attack in the running game have been terrific. Now that said, one on one in pass bro he gets beat in those situations and you try to get those out of the game and you can scheme around that for a guard. That's the whole point of having elite tackle play that can be on an island and a good center who can come in and help help in those positions. Now, the one that I will conceive, Rob Jones has not been good. His feet have gone down on contact, and

that's an issue in this offense. Just it's I promise it's it's been good. Like the player where Rob Jones pulled that backside, he just took a horrible angle to that block. He went to where the player was not where he was going, and Durham got undressed on that play as well. So horrendous block angle, bad tight end play. That's the entire game is anticipation and we don't do that at that position. When Skyler got destroyed on that third quarter sack, that was a good delayed blitz that

got our protection scheme and that, yeah, that happens. That's why Mike McDonald's hired. It's this whole game is sim pressure packages that creates confusion and your protection against a young quarterback that doesn't see the field, Well, it's gonna happen, but I'm sure that I'll get clipped off and be shared across Twitter to disparage the offensive line. Not to mention when they bring six and you had five and protection, it's almost like the ball has to come out on

one hitch timing right, weird. Let's see what else? Oh eight Chan had a touchdown run on that first drive after the Coho on the first playoff for the Coho pick, but slipped down. But we were in a legal formation anyways. Okay, a couple of quick individual misses here and they'll go to the defense. Julian Hill had a one hell of a game, just got destroyed on a first pass set gets hit for hole the next play. Had four penalties in the game at PFF gave him a great grade

how I don't know, Tyreek. I thought he checked out of the game early. Then he dropped that screen pass and went even more downhill from there. Now I can see why, because holy hell, the quarterback play is atrocious, But dude, you make a lot of money. Got to have sixty minutes of hard competitive football, Rob Jones. The

processing has just not been there. He got blown up on the second down run play by the goal line of the Tim Boyle drive, the second goal to gost situation we had in the game, got swam passed, and if he makes that block, we walk in for six. I didn't think Jeff Wilson saw his lanes well. I thought he had some pass protection, airs, bracks and burials. Alec Ingold missed a lot of angles. I doubt this is on Alec, but a lot of the disjointed stuff

seemed to be centered around him. And then durham smyth. You know, on Ingold's fumble he got dog walked into Alec. The tight end problem this year is where I think everyone is where the complaints about the offensive line should be placed, which is fair because listening to this podcast, you never would have thought that because I thought tight ends were awesome all camp long, so man snap counts, Liam rob and Brewer went the distance. We had the

injuries at tackle, so Austin missed one snap. T Stead played one third, Kendall played the other two thirds. I thought Kendall was fine. We saw the top receivers get their highest workloads in terms of percentage Wattle eighty four weeks seventy five percent, and I thought this game better reflected what it should have looked like against Buffalo. But I digressed because Burrios played twenty eight percent. Still way

too high. Ee and es Gridge some late burn but ingled forty three percent, Julian forty one percent, John Who thirty eight percent, and Smyth eighteen percent. The depth chart is working out the way I thought it would. Just thought it would be good. It's not been good. And then eight Chan seventy four percent of the workload. I am worried about running that kid into the ground this year. He FA twenty three percent, Jalen Wright twenty one percent. I gotta see rights number go way up, even if

he's lost half the time pre snap. Let's go ahead and take our last break, come back and talk about the defense. That's next Draft Time podcast your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Autoation, picking up the All twenty two review of the Dolphins defense and a twenty four

to three loss at the Seattle Seahawks. And the first thing I noticed was early on in this game, they ran a play that was really well covered, but our pass rush didn't get in and as Gino Smith stood in there and surveyed, Tyler Lockett is running this deep over route, but he just stops and hooks up, and Gino finds him in that soft spot on the fly. Adjustments are the sign to me of finally tuned offense, and we just consistently don't see that in this complex

run to a spot and all these things. Like again, I was the champion of how this offense operated, but I think that you need to find a curveball off of that and to have these in flight adjustments to

make those types of plays happen. I was kind of jealous watching that They also ran this little spot hook up against Cover two with the mic linebacker floating to the field, which is the wide side, and the throw goes back to the boundary the short side, and on the spot he breaks out to sell the speed out route that the slot receiver, like, we're gonna run a vertical and we're gonna flash an out route to kind of pull that cloud corner off that way and move

the linebacker inside and then just pivots back inside. Those kind of fine details like because it hitch, normally you turn back inside, but on this one he went outside shoulder and pivoted back inside to sell that out route. Those little things get me fired up as a true football X's and O stand and I saw that throughout Seattle's tape. They had some structure issues early the Dolphins did.

I thought on that first touchdown drive, I think the long touchdown, the DK is a great sign, a really great play design to pull Ramsey down to that curl flat and then from that split safety look you know to and they hit that dig to DK so frequently that you can see why Javon would drive on that. Sometimes NFL teams drop good designs and execute them and you have to tip your cap. Now with seventy yards of grass behind you and no help, I'd probably prefer

we don't sell out to stop the dig. Maybe I could be wrong there, Maybe maybe you know someone that knows ball better than I can can tell me that. But I thought that was a bad decision chasing big plays and got burned for it. I thought they did a really good job weathering it when Kendall Fuller went down, Cater Coohu kicking outside on base looks and Storm Duck going out there with Cater going back inside a nickel.

We incorporated more big nickel with Marcus may getting by far his biggest workload of the season, so good adjustments. I thought the coverage on the back end was really good outside of the one gaff to DK. I thought rush lanes and the plan was good, especially the mix of pressure looks. He saw Sealer move outside and get a sack as a true five technique running the rush game that you know that an end runs, which is not really his game for the most part, but I

guess it is now. I think this game showed you what this defense can be at its peak. Now. That said, they did create plenty of conflict and got us displaced with some good stuff, Like we had the second quarter blitz and the mic backer flares to the flat, but the corner was already there squatting, and they throw this little angle back to the middle of the field. A few reps of two guys in one spot you know,

no one else in the other. But when that would happen, they would quickly iron it out and get it corrected. So even with some mistakes, I thought the ability to adjust in game defensively was there, which wasn't the case for the offense individually. I thought Deshaun Hann was fantastic. Like Seeler and Campbell when they tried to wash them down, they dropped the anchor and use their hands to disengage, locate the football and make the play on his sack

really good. Short choppy steps to threaten the b gap of the right guard that widened him out. Then he uses his upper body strength to push him aside and had that straight line run to the quarterback and bang. And also Jalen Phillips closed down the escape lane there by walking the right tackle back into the quarterback on the cater Coohoo pick. We're talking about Zach Stealer now

one hundred percent Zach Sealer's play. You see the Seahawks chip ogball with a tight end and the left tackle waiting for that chip release, and the left guard has Zach all alone and you immediately see Zach get his hands into the chest and just ragged all the right guard. He loves that pin and poll. He the push and poll type of pass rush move. And Zach's main intention here is that pick man for Ogball to loop off of.

And I wonder if you convert to that game. I'd like to hear from Coach Vass or somebody else that knows this again better than I do, if you convert that rush game when you see that chip coming, because it was clearly going to be a max pro and Ogba is not going to get through a chip and a true drop back pass that by Charles Cross, So do you convert, like, let's run a game inside and

take that chip out of the play. But Zach beating the guard as bad as he did and splitting him and the left tackle completely removes both players because the tackle didn't get a round that pile up to help inside, and the guard is in a fight for his life against Zach, and he actually tackles Seiler into Gino Smith and then Gino gets in the grasp of both Zach and Emmanuel Ogba and tries to make this hero throw to an open back, but He's literally in the Michael

Jackson what's that pose where he stands on his hippy toes and leans over like the leaning Tower of Pisa. When he throws the ball, it's high, it gets deflected and picked off his hand strength. Zach Seeler's is just so absurd. That sack from the five technique was akin to his pressure that he forced on the pick. He wins the punch, the hands get into the chest play of Charles Cross, one of the best left tackles in

the damn game. Then he throws a push pull that puts Cross on his butt and finishes at the quarterback. Have a day s number ninety two. Speaking of Days ninety three, klays Campbell, they just couldn't prevent him from getting over the top of the zone runs outside, and they couldn't stop him from playing underneath it and back dooring it either. He's such a pro and amid a tough tough start, watching him and Sealer play together has

been an absolute treat. No fall off in that spot from a year ago, despite a change at the position. I thought Kendall Fuller was all over the field in that pass break up, especially if Gino was accurate on that throw, it's a pick six. He read it all the way, had a great angle of attack, played through it, and got the hand on it. I also love the way he understands his role as the forced defender in the running game outside to keep that contained. He's been

very good so far. I thought Jillen Ramsey was also really good. You could tell that he was frustrating DK on some of those reps, and nobody else even came close to getting a catch on him throughout the game. And most of DK's work came working against somebody besides Jylen Ramsey, so he was a true lockdown cornerback in this game. Individual misses, I thought there was plenty. I thought Brooks had a really rough game, kind of amped up.

Maybe he took some chances and ran himself out of the fit and into the fit of his teammates with two guys in one gap, which is a great way to keep up explosives via the ground. That's what happened on the James Cook touchdown run last week. Him and David Long kept crashing that the Seahawks would peel off their combinations and put just one shoulder on them and send them flying like it was pretty kind of comical to watch the way they got sent through the air.

They both got declear couple times early on on that and I'm on the second drive of the game when

I wrote that down with David Long. He'll play that wall off role in the middle of the fields in coverage, and I don't think he has the vertical range to get back, so he plays like way off and then teams will throw these hookups and a good quarterback gets it there early enough where the receiver can make him miss because he has space and coming from such depth, you know, a linebacker probably not going to make a

play on a receiver in space like that. JP. You know, as much as I commend him and think he had some good plays in the game, and as good as I think he was against the Jaguars back in Week one, the explosiveness just isn't what it was yet. I know he'll get there, but I've not seen him taken out of plays the way I thought he was in one on one situations against a guy like Stone Forsyth. Since his rookie year, Banito Jones was consistently dispatched by single

blocks on the ground. Javon Holland had a very nice play where he sipped through some trash as the will linebacker when they walked him down there. And I'm wondering if you see more of that, because on that play with DK like that, you just can't do that as a safety. Chop needs two things. He needs more sand pants, we knew that, and better contact strength to push the

pocket back upward after he wins the edge. I think you've seen teams happy to let him just burn that edge and they'll just go ahead and run him out of the play. And I think he will develop that as guys tend to do. Just wonder if it actually happens this year, But at this point, who cares. Just get it back, get it good for next year. Jordan Poyer just slow, just continue to see late, to react

to things. And that's tough for how much he's been asked to cover a lot of these split field looks with some of the field side deep half like he's got a big portion of the field. Snap counts. Brooks, Poe, and Holland went the distance. Ramsey did too, until the final drive ended up playing like ninety two percent. Cater gets a bump with Kendall Fuller going down he plays eighty six percent. Fuller played just a quarter of the snaps. That gives you thirty nine percent for storm Duck and

nine percent for Neil. Curious see if we get some more Ethan Bonner down the road here. If Fuller can't play on Monday night, we did see Marcus may get some run. Probably time to make that switch there by the way, thirty percent for him. David Long played seventy five percent. Walker filled in for the other quarter of the snaps. It's seems like it'll be Brooks in Long full go and they're both healthy just based on what we've seen so far, and their production's pretty good too.

Even if Jordan Brooks didn't have a great game inside, Seiler had a reduction in play time because the way the game played out. Sixty nine percent Hand played half the snaps, Campbell played forty five. They started taking guys out the fielder towards the end of the game, but that was by far the best position group of the

entire day. But Eti played thirty eight percent, Peelee fourteen percent, and again, Phillips playing seventy percent of the snaps is the most impressive part of his game OGBA sixty four, Chop forty five, and Quentin Bell played twenty two percent of the game. We talked on the preview podcast about trapdoors and you know teams that could have the rug pulled out from under them. This year it's us, man, It sure certainly feels that way. I don't know if

you see, like without Tua and who knows? You know when he comes back, do you do? You see they'll win a game or two, But right now it looks tough. My top tapes, Zach Sealer was number one. He was this dominant all game long. Jalen Ramsey had a very very good day. Thought Aaron Brewer was fantastic again, so was Austin Jackson. He's the fourth top tape and Deshaun Hann barely beats out Kalaias Campbell for the five and

six spots, respectively. And that is your Tuesday podcast. You all please be sure to subscribe, rate, review the show, follow me on social actuate put NFL.
