Factors were Alfords Patrick drawing touchdown. What a win for this Miami Dolphin team. Wow? What is up? Dolphins? And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins official podcast network, covering your Miami Dolphins each and every day. How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield, and I am here to bring you your

daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. And on today's show, we are flashing back to the millennium the two thousand wild card playoff victory over Peyton Maning and the Indianapolis Colts, a twenty three seven team overtime victory in the postseason, and we are joined by the man that caught the touchdown pass to send that game into overtime to set up the eventual game winner in overtime, by Lamar Smith.

We are joined by tight end Jed Weaver on this Friday, June the twelfth edition of the Drivetime Podcast Miami and I don't want to waste any more time. Let's go ahead and get right to my interview with former Dolphins tight end Jed Weaver. And joining me now on the Drive Time Podcast is the Dolphins tight end from two thousand to two thousand two. He spent three of his six NFL years with the Dolphins, and he caught one of the biggest touchdowns of this century for Miami. He

is Jed Weaver. Jed, thanks for jumping in, man, Hey, thanks for having me. I appreciate it. We're happy to have you in. I was just telling you off air how this is one of my favorite Dolphins games of all time, and you had the play that sent it into overtime. We'll get to that here in just a little sec or just in one minute. But I always do a little bit of research on my guest here, and I found that you were born in Bend, Oregon. Is that where you are right now? No, we're down

here in Pembroke Punts. My wife grew up in Seattle from central Oregon, so once we got to the heat, we never left. Well, I'm making the same pilgrimage here pretty soon. I actually from the Northwest. I was born in southeastern Washington and I still live out here, but I'm moving to Miami year my first year with the Dolphins. So what can you say or what can you tell a Northwestern transplant going down to South Florida. Um, bring lots of swim trunks and flip flops because it's hot here. Well,

the will the breweries be able to match up? Because I know Bend is like home of all the breweries. Um, definitely not, but you know, there's more influence here and there's a lot of local spots that are popping up and definitely not like in the Pacific Northwest for sure, but there's some there's some good local brewis here for sure. Yeah, I'm a big fan of Funky Buddha. I always making a point to go there when I'm down in that

neck of the woods. Um, as far as you know, what you do in Pembroke Pines, what are you up to these days? What's what's life like now? For Jed Weaver? We have a six year old daughter, so chaos all day every day, and then we just got done with home school. So we're happy that no one lost their life during that process during the covid vandemic here and but we're over, we're on summer break now and so, um,

she's a lot of funds. You's a blast and I do real estate, so you know that's been obviously crushed by everyone being quarantined and staying at home, but it's opening up here, so I can't beat that, and hopefully um'll be interesting to see how the summer goes with this thing. And lots of people have been stuck in New York for a long time, so I think they're they're gonna be getting that itch to get down here

and when I have places here. So we're looking for a good summer and a good fall for so people aren't stuck in in New York and the Northeast if they got to be in quarantine next year without a vaccine, and they want to be here in Florida. And you mentioned the Northeast there. You spent your first year in the NFL, a seventh round draft pick with the Philadelphia Eagles, but by year two you're with the Dolphins. How did that decision to uh, you know, take your talents to

South Beach come to be? Well, I wasn't like Lebron went to work one day in Philly and they told me I wasn't. I wasn't. They didn't have a spot for me. So I act really called my buddy Blake, who was with the Jets, and he was the tight end ahead of me at Oregon. So we were really close, and he answered his phone and he shouldn't have. He should have been in meetings or working out, and he

didn't have a job. I didn't have a job. So we met up in Atlantic City, gambled a little bit, had a few beers, and the next day I got picked up by the Dolphins. He got picked up by Tampa and came down here three days later. Played in the ole very last preseason game. I played the entire second half, caught a touchdown, caught four or five passes, and I was on the team. So I stayed here until then my contract was up, and then we moved on.

But it was awesome to be here a great team, and twenty years later, you would have never told me this is going to be the last Dolphin playoff win, but it was that season so unbelievable, and I was one of my favorite all time Dolphins games. You mentioned a touchdown catch in the preseason. We're gonna get to a much bigger touchdown you caught in this game here in just one second. But I'm curious to ask you because it was your second year in the NFL and

you had a big impact in that game. What was the difference like for you in terms of regular season game compared to postseason atmosphere. Playing there at the current hard Rock Stadium, I believe it was Pro Player Stadium at the time. What was the playoff atmosphere for you like that day? I mean it was you know, I looked it up on YouTube, you know and checking out some of the highlights and stuff. Fifty seven degrees, so you know, it was beautiful, sunny, and the stadium was

bigger than than it is now. They didn't you know, they took out some seats when they did the renovation. But it's funny because it was black. The game was blacked out on TV here because it wasn't a sell but you know, it was full and loud and raucous, and you know, I think they showed a stat that we played the Colts three times in fifteen days or something like that and then twenty one days or something

crazy like that. The only time that had happened before was in the nineteen forties, so and you know, they were in our division obviously, so it was it was a huge rivalry game. We knew them well, and you know, the playoffs is there's nothing like the regular season it's a whole another step above, and uh, it was fun.

It was a blast. Yeah. As a lifelong Dolphins fan, I still arbor some anks for the Colts because I just didn't like the other teams in the a f C East, and they were back at that time, I think for two more years after that before they jumped to the a f C South. And you mentioned playing them three times in fifteen days, and the defense got after Peyton Manning a little bit that day, and they

had Marvin Harrison, Edgar and James. I know you're a tight end, but can you maybe give us some reasoning for why the Dolphins defense was able to kind of hold those triplets who were just killing people all year long, James Harrison and Peyton Manning. How did the Dolphins defense handle that offense the way they did well? I mean we had you know, Sam Madison past certain were on

the outside, so those guys were locking down. I mean, watching some of the highlights, Trent Gamble was covering Marvin Harrison a couple of plays. I mean he made some good plays and defended passes. But I don't know how that ended up on our defense with the guys that we had. You know, and we got a rookie from University of Wyoming out there playing against Marvin Harrison, the Hall of Famer, but you know, he made a good place.

We had Brock Marion and Brian Walkers, so I think, you know, we matched up well with them that way. Edger had a good game. Um, but you know, I mean I would take Zack Thomas over any linebacker that ever played. And and you know, it really was a tribute to the defense. They kept us in the game. I mean, we had three or four turnovers in the first half. My boy from Oregon, Chad ConA, had two interceptions, and you know, so I mean it was just hanging around,

hanging around. And then you know, obviously Lamar Smith had a great game, the record breaking game, and you know, Mike vander Jack, I think that was the l i field goal he ever missed that season, was the one in overtime. And then we got the ball and went down and scored in the Lamar scored that long run to win the game. So you know, it was it could have been way out of hand, but it was a tribute to the defense and those guys and that was an awesome defense on that team. That's for sure.

There was a great clip on the broadcast of that game where the broadcast both is talking about Peyton Manning and Mike Vanderjacked having this this animossity between the two of them because Peyton said something about their idiot kicker speaking out of turn at some point. So it was kind of funny the way they all built up to that miss. But you mentioned the slow start for the offense and some turnovers. It was fourteen zip at the break. What was the halftime mood like for you guys in

that locker room. Did anybody come in fired up and give you that al Pacino speech or digit was it kind of more chill or what was the mood like in the locker room at halftime? Down by fourteen? No, I mean, I think in a situation like that, it was just you know, Dave wasn't really a screamer guy. You know, he was just more of a kind of be positive and get motivated, and Chan Gailey was really um as the coordinator, just the x is and those guy.

He wasn't a huge motivational ted guy, so um or a screamer guy, and so I mean it was really little. I mean, the defense is key been us in the game. We're just shooting ourselves in the foot and playing terrible. So get it together. You know, the running game was working, but you know, Fiedler had his shoulder injury, and you know, for whatever reason, there's a couple of bad throws and uh,

you know, turnovers obviously kill you. And I mean that's a great example of the score not being indicative of the reality of the game. You know. I mean we were we were having decent drives and one of the one of the interceptions was in the end zone, so we were in scoring positions. So it was just really you know, getting it together and not hurting ourselves, you know.

And so um, you know, the defense obviously they had a huge challenge and they were they were up to the challenge, and you know, we just had to hold onto the ball and get back in the game. We've got Jed Weaver here. Dolphins tied end from two thousand to two thousand two on the Drivetime podcast doing the flashback Friday two thousand wild card playoff victory over the Indianapolis Colts, and Jed, you tied me up perfectly once again. You're really leading me into these segways here he talked

about Fiedler's shoulder injury. I was always curious for the players on offense that were not Jay, other guys on his team, what was it like for you to see him go through those practices beforehand, because he was doing the thing where he was giving the handoffs with the same hand every time. I forget if it was left or right, but it looks so awkward the way he

was just executing simple handoffs. Because that something you guys saw in practice or maybe like I don't know about this, um now, I mean, you know, he was practicing it, and it's definitely was awkward, and you know, not the way that it were usually done. But you know, I mean I don't think that anyone thought that, um, there was a risk of losing a handoff or mishandling it or anything like that. So and he was practicing it all week, So um, you know, I mean that's one

thing you can say about Jay. He was aware. He played hurt, he played injured, and um, you know, I mean even a couple of those runs out there, he was throwing his body around. There was a fork down that he converted on the fourth and one where he scrambled, and you know a couple other runs where he was just diving it forward, you know, rather than trying to get out of bounds or any of that. I mean,

his shoulder was pretty jacked up. I don't remember the exact injury, but he was he got after it, you know. I do think that toughness and the way he played the game was really what you know, made Dolphins fans so fond of Jay Fieedler in Miami. And it all led up to that big moment in that game where you really made your big contribution, that big play. It was your only target of the game, and boy did

you make it count your first NFL touchdown. I have several parts of this question here, but let's go ahead and start with this little stick route, little pivot move working off the leverage of the defender. What was your mental checklist on that play? Do you remember the call and the defense and the matchup. Can you just kind of break that play down for us? Well, they were in Amanda, man, and it was kind I don't remember

the protection, but it's that was called wine loop. So um, you know, we had the receiver comes in motion down close and then you have a fullback and that's offset on the strong side behind the guard and the tackle, and um, you know there's always a route combination. It's West Coast style route combination. You have a flat route.

Then you know when one receiver goes up and either runs a corner route or they'll run an en route, and then someone else comes in and like the fullback will come in behind and do like a checkdown or check up right there in the middle, right over where the tackle is. And um, you know we uh, we've run that formation and the motion a lot, and you know it's interchangeable. The receiver can do the flat route. You know, you never know which receivers going where, but

it's all the same combination. So, um, I had the quarterback came down and with the receiver and then so they were playing his own defense. And you know, I'm a wy loop as you're running towards the flat acting like it's the flat route in that in that route tree, and then you just loop back in, put your outside foot in the ground, pivot back in. And I mean he was out side leverage because he came down. I don't know, I think O. J. Mcduffey was the receiver

and he just came down. You could see him bouncing down, so I knew it was his own defense. And I mean I didn't even push him out very far because he would you know. I mean, he's just floating back there waiting. So I just went out and when he was sitting there and pivoted and he was he was pretty deep, pretty far off of me. So I mean I was open the entire time Jay hit me, and it was pretty awesome to score that touchdown. I uh,

you know, went to school with Chad ConA. He was the man in Oregon a senior year when we went to the Rose Bowl and I was in. I was rich or a freshman and on the scout team, so I went against him every single day. You know, I really looked up to him. He had a great NFL career. This was kind of at the end of it, so you know, I got some great pictures. The Dolphin photographer was actually standing right in the corner of the end zone there and he got a series of like five

or six pictures. So there's one there with me reaching the ball over the goal line and chat Coda's laying on me, you know, so that's pretty cool. I got it up in the office. So yeah, you get that catching you about a yard short of the end zone before you did dive into the end zone for the touchdown. And I'm curious because the ball was there like right on time, right when you turn and put your numbers to the quarterback. Did you have a pretty good idea

the ball was coming your way on that play? Yeah, for sure, I was expecting it when he's slept off. I knew as soon as I turned around because the linebacker they're playing zone, so the linebackers just kind of sitting in the middle, and so I knew it would be a tight window and he was gonna hit me right when I turned around, and so you know, he put it right on my body, and uh, I was able to you know, there was enough room there to be able to lunge in and get in the end

zone and score the touchdown. And um, yeah, that was you know, those are feelings and excitement that you can't you definitely can't duplicate in real estate. It's hard to duplicate in anything else in life. And uh, you know, just the you know, first touchdown in my career in the NFL, and in that situation was dream come true pretty much. Was there some nerves going into that because, like you mentioned, knew the ball was coming your way. I want to say it was third down, so it

was pretty much do or die at that point. Was there some nerves leading up to that? Or is that one of those things where you've wrecked this thing so many times and it's just like another play at the office, another day at the office. I should say yeah, No, I mean my wife fastening that were nervous and I was like, no, you know, when he called that play, I know it was mine because you know why, Loup,

you're the primary guy, that's the number one look. So um and for me, I mean I always every team I ever played on, I always had the best hands. I always caught the ball, you know, cleaner than anyone else. And so you know, I mean that's what that's what your job is, that's what you're gonna pay to do, and that's what you have fun doing. So um, you know, I was hoping he would throw it to me. I mean basically every route in my whole career I was open,

the quarterback just never threw me the ball. So I'm glad that finally threw me the ball on this and you paid it off big time right there, the game tying touch on to send it into overtime. There, of course Dolphins are going to win that game with the overtime run by Lamar Smith. You mentioned him earlier, the record breaking performance two hundred and nine yards including his game winner, And I'm curious to ask you because you

had to be around him every day. He had to be in some kind of ridiculous physical condition to put together a forty carry game in late December, right yeah, and he uh, you know, it wasn't like he wasn't getting a lot of carries, you know, so he was um and you know, I mean all the running back for young pretty young and Utry Dinson and J. J. Johnson and Rob Conrad was my year, so his second year, and um, you know he was like eight or nine years in the league and he had bounced around, so

he wasn't like a workhorse type guy everywhere he went. But you know he was kind of the old man, you know, so um he used to just you know, cruising along, you know, telling us a young bucks, you better getting the tub, you know. You know, he was a huge ice tub guy to recover after games and after practice, steam room nic stop alternating and like, man, you gotta you know you're doing that because you're old.

He's like, yeah, well, if you're do it now when you're young, you'll be feeling a lot better when you're old, you know. So, um, he had his regimen and uh, you know, you had a couple of kids at that time, and he was you know, he always this called the old man, and he was a workforce. He worked hard

in practice. He always uh you know, I mean I think Ricky Williams took it to the next level and practice like um finishing runs, but lamarred in the same you know, obviously defense isn't tackling you, but you know he breaks through the line and go fifteen twenty yards at a dead sprint. You know, just working on that conditioning, being used to getting you know, so you don't run out of gas when you break along one because you're

not used to it. Because you know, once the season starts, especially towards the end in the playoffs, you're not doing a lot of that conditioning because you're trying to save the energy for the game on Sunday. So um, you know, I mean it was just an attribute to him how hard he worked his you know, his career and knowing what he knew and being able to, you know, play with good guys before he came here and putting in

the work and having a payoff in the end. You know. Yeah, And that kind of reminds me of a bit of an inside baseball question I have for you here, Jed, because I told you I was twelve years old watching that game, and so when the Dolphins won, I just thought, Okay, they're gonna go beat Oakland. They're gonna go beat I think it was Baltimore in the a f C championship game, and they're gonna win a super Bowl because I'm young and I don't know any better than my team is

the best team in the NFL. And I'm curious to get your take because nowadays you look at that game and you say, well, the star running back had forty carries, they played an extra overtime period. Maybe they're gonna be a little bit sluggish next week on the road against a team that has a bye week. Did you sense any of that the week leading up to the Oakland game, that maybe Lamar is a little bit a little bit tired this week and the team maybe is a little

bit sluggish going into that game. Um no, I mean we were excited to go out there and play, and you know, but obviously after the game and how it went and looking back and knowing what I know, now, yeah, I mean there was there was no chance we won that game. In Oakland, you know, they had a bye

week that was. I grew up a Raider fan and in Oregon, so, um, you know, for me to go there and play in that game, that was the very first playoff game in Oakland and like thirty five years because they went to l A and then when they came back to Oakland that was you know, they hadn't

been to the playoffs until that season. So you know, I mean driving into the stadium, it was like the entire place was on fire and smoldering from all the barbecues and um, you know, I mean going out there for warmups, everyone's in the black hole calling you over there to try to fight, and uh, you know, dog cussing you. You know, Jack Tatum's showing out there. You know,

I said hi to him. Bill Russell was hanging out before the game, and it was just amazing to me being a Raider fan, and uh, you know, I got like forty tickets for family that all went down there from the West Coast Oregon and in California and stuff, and uh but yeah, I mean they had a buy week. We had an overtime game, you know. And I have a picture after the um that we got going off the field after the Colts game, and I mean Hunter Goodwin,

he was out there working so hard, you know. I mean there's a couple of linemen Hunter good when Larry

is those in the picture. But Hunter, you know, I mean we're like holding him up because he was so out of gas from blocking, you know, so all game and just pounding and pounding and pounding, you know, and um, you know, then you got the long flight out to Oakland and um, so you know, I mean it was you think you got a fair shot when you go into that game, but in reality you're you're playing on a half to take a gas and they got super chargers because it's the home game and they had a

bye week, you know. So um but yeah, I mean, knowing what I know now and after being in New England winning the Super Bowl, there's no chance we would have wanted. Hey, twenty years after the fact, I think it could be a little bit transparent. So we appreciate that here on the podcast. And I was gonna ask you about how it wasn't the locker room after the game, but it's like you guys were pretty much just on empty. Yeah, I mean, you know, but it was exuberation, you know.

Um Mr Hensinga was in there, and everyone was super stoked and excited, you know. I mean, you have the mindset of going to go play, you know, and we had the team, we had the ability, you know, we had the team to go out there and win, you know, but um, you know, I mean it's just you look at what the Patriots did over the last twenty years with Tom compared to last year not having the bye week.

It is just such a huge advantage to have the bye week, and because you know, you don't know who you're playing until the wild cards over, but you're practicing both teams, you're kind of you know, you're getting familiar with them. So just that extra um preparation is is

a huge advantage. And then obviously you know, flying across the country at different times one all of that stuff, because really when you come I guess it's it's better to go from east to west for the timing, you know, rather than west to east, because it doesn't feel like your plan at ten am. But um, you know, it was still um you know, I mean we were definitely out of gas, you know. But after the game and everyone was tired. But you know, I mean, you you recover.

That's what you're used to, that's what you do, and you go forward. I mean, if you can't get ready for the next Sunday in the playoffs and you've got problems, absolutely, let's let's go ahead and circle back here to the Colts Gaming and get back into happier thoughts and talk about some of the plays that maybe did get you guys a little bit gas. I'm curious if you have a specific play that stands out to you, or maybe a specific series or a couple of plays where you

worked as an inline blocker. Because there were forty rushes from Lamar Smith in that game, are there any plays that the fans might not see initially that you really think should be appreciative from your standpoint as a blocker in that game? Um? No, I mean, nothing really sticks out, Lamar. You know, there was just huge, wide open holes and

the Colts. The way that they played defense, you were able to get you know, good running lanes against them because they were you know, that was the beginning of like Dwight Free and those guys. You know, they had Cornelius been at coming off the edge and then they were like straight up you know, rusher's penetration type guys. So you could, you know, you could get him running

and moving and get cutbacks, you know. And I think, you know, I saw one player I remember, you know, Jay kind of scrambled and then hit Lamar and he broke all the way back across the field, you know, and Jay's running down the field trying to get a block. He didn't box nobody, but he looked like he was going to The announcers gave him a shout out. But um, you know, I mean he didn't need to. He didn't

need to hit anybody. But you know, I mean it was just there was wide open lanes and they played, uh you know, they played a deep cover to or quarters covered four coverage with two safeties kind of back, you know, and we had fast receivers Tony Martin and um so you know, I mean, just watching the game over recently, it was, you know, I mean there was big, wide, open running lanes and Lamar. You know, I mean he was making guys miss and he was a heavy runner

and a big guy. But he made some nimbo runs and some quick cuts in that game and to make guys miss and make a lot of extra yards, that's for sure. You mentioned Jay on the peel back block or kind of getting reverse field and you get your quarterback involved. He made a bit of a habit of that. There was some place I actually did a top ten Ricky Williams runs on a previous podcast, and he j was one of the lead blockers on one of those runs. It was a game against Jacksonville and Ricky winds it

back across the field. He has to hit a block and he actually does take out the I think it was a linebacker gets him down around the knees and takes him out. So he was he was used to doing that. And and Jed, I have one more question for you here. We just had the fish Tank podcast with Larry Izzo. You mentioned him in an earlier question on this podcast, and I was out mode my lawn

today before I jumped on here with you. You and I had scheduled this podcast, I think yesterday, and then today I listened to the fish Tank podcast and he tells the story and your name comes up, and I want to hear your perspective on it real quick. He mentioned that he had sent you guys a photo from the Patriots Super a Bowl banquet with the rings and everything, and that you took that photo, hung it up in your locker room and you wound up getting him fine

by Belichick, You have your perspective on that story. Yeah,

that was yeah. I mean, you know one season, you know they go on and uh, you know, we were really close with Larry my our wives now girlfriends at the time, we're really close, so um, you know we hung out in the off season and stuff, and uh yeah, so they you know, that year, the Patriots came down here, Tom, I think it was a second or third start, and we smoked them, and uh it was kind of over at halftime, and then they started going on a role

obviously it was nine eleven. You know, Joe andrewsie the outline and his brothers are all firefighters in New York City, so you know, they just they start rolling and rolling and uh, you know, three quarters of the way through the season. I looked at her. We were watching the Monday night game or something, and I was like, man, they're gonna go win the Super Bowl, and she was like,

the Patriots, no way. My first of all they got is that guy has you know, the golden the you know, the golden ticket, he has got the four leaf clover, you know. And and I'm like, who they got the you know, the Patriot guy. You know, the guys the ever America's all pulling for them. And so they go win, which was great, you know, and that was obviously one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history and um, the start of amazing twenty years. But so yeah, they

send that picture and you know the next year, oh two. Um, Dave was always uh trying to find ways for motivation. Obviously all coaches are, but Dave, you know, he was always using different props and all kinds of different stuff. But that year he had someone come in and um it was Mario Lemieux. Oh no, yeah, I'm very yager on the Pittsburgh Penguins who played with Mario. But you know, he was from one of the Eastern Block, Hugoslavia or

Czech countries. Somewhere over there. I'm not sure exactly which one, but he wore night. He knew war number sixty eight because they were invaded I think by Russian in nine eight. So that was his motivation. Um, you know, how do you get motivated to play? What's your motivation? What's your while? You know? And so I didn't say anything to anyone. I just hung the picture in my locker with just a piece of athletic tape that was just had sixty

eight written on it and sharpie. And so then you know, um, one day, you know, the media is in the locker room and at lunchtime and stuff, talking to guys whatever, and I'm working out eating lunch. Everyone's coming and going, and I noticed the picture was all crooked, and uh, the tape was kind of jacked up, and I'm like, what the heck? And didn't you know? I had no one said anything. I didn't ask anyone. I didn't really matter, you know, it was this kind of weird someone was

jacking with something in my locker. And then you know, that article comes out, you know, and then like Larry calls man, he's dog customing about you know, the Belichick Final fifteen hundred bucks, he said for that, you know, because he's uh and that Belichick is a master that using the other team anything the other team puts out there to motivate guys, you know, motivate you. And um, so yeah, Bill, Bill gave him a customer in the

meeting and for extra motivation. And you know, they always had a hard time with Patriots, even as good as they always were, even when I was up there and we were fourteen and two and won the Super Bowl, we came down here and got beat you know. So um that was no no obviously, no more, no no need for extra billboard material, locker room talk, you know. So as those you know calling me, what's up, man, why did you do that? I'm like, bro, I didn't
