Week 2 Film Room, Dolphins Ravens - Tape, Contextualized Stats, Snap Counts, McDaniel Commentary

from this football team. We're putting the crazy win on Sunday under the microscope with the autopsy, looking at the all twenty two, the numbers from the game. We'll see about the scan the social do I have something or not? We'll find out. We'll go around the web and we'll hear from head coach, Mike mcdaniel. All of that and much more here from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the dry lifetime podcasts.

We have much, much, much to cover today, so we're gonna go ahead and jump right in to the all twenty two review. I have a lot of notes here, particularly about the quarterback and the offensive structure. Will cover those two things together. Then get a kind of grab bag notes of offensive line, wide receiver, running back, tight end play. Move on to the defense, do the numbers after that, all that fun stuff. We start here with the quarterback and the offense and it starts with the

opening drive. Third and seven to Mike Gasicki, and this throw was indicative of how good to it was on this day, and I mentioned it on the Sunday podcast. I thought he played well despite those two picks in the first half. You know, you cannot have those backbreaking mistakes. But then he obviously came back with the stats on the other end and kind of gave you a better ability to appreciate his entire body of work in this game.

And it starts here on this opening drive where Patrick Queen followed to his eyes all day long and to his eye discipline was great, not good, great all day long. You See Queen Change Directions three times on this play. Then there goes the ball right in behind him on the money to Mike and when to US separates his hands to throw again, this is a theme throughout the day.

Queen is on the left Hash and Gisicky is just barely inside the right hash, so there's four or five yards of clearance there with a trail defender right on Mike's back. It's a tiny window threaded very beautifully with the requisite anticipation to make that throw. Timing, touch, feel anticipation hallmarks of this quarterback's game. He showed you that in a big way, beginning early on the opening drive. Now we have some negatives to discuss as well. Pick

number one. It's an anticipation throw before tyreek comes out of the break, back down the stem to the quarterback. There's great pass protection, a theme today as well. Two A drives. It absolutely rips this throw and you see the trail corner, which is Marlon Humphrey, is in a full sprint to the end line. In fact, I usually pause the tape when two separates the hand ends to see where the defense has moved and kind of how

they reacted and what he's seeing. And on that clip, when I freeze framed it, you see Marlon Humphreys hands are spread out like a crouching tiger, hidden dragons. He's trying to get depth down the football field and we later learned that's kind of how you have to defend tyreek hill because of that speed. But Marcus Williams just made an awesome play to squat and drive and really arrive at the same time as the football. It's an absolute Bang Bang play and a tough one to make.

And coach mcdaniel did say on a contested ball that's not really too a tongue of violo's fault. He says that he believes tyreek Hill will say that he should catch that on the first interception and then coach talks about the second interception as well, talking about two a pressing uh throwing the football down the field with that

second pick. But you know Marcus Williams makes plays and that Bang Bang nature of the first one off the shoulder pad and then you get what is basically you just get an unfortunate hop off the should or pad.

Alec Ingold was open underneath and I just think my only complaint with the play because this to me was a defender making a really, really good play and Marcus Williams has three picks in two games as a raven and got a big free agent contract this offseason because he did stuff like this over in new arlands all the time. My complaint is just forcing the ball there on second medium and scoring range. I just don't think it's necessary. But that's all. That's my biggest complaint about

that play. Good play by Marcus Williams Dan Orlowski, coming back off the the fourth down or fourth and goal stop the dolphins had in the goal line. He broke down the Jalen waddle fifty nine yard catch and run. So go check that out. I retweeted it. But the cliffs notes version is twenty one personnel. It's two backs, one tight end empty. That means nobody in the backfield along to a five man product production, five men out

in the route and it's stick nod. Stick is a little hook up route, usually six or seven yards behind, right behind the linebackers. Stick nod is where you put your foot in the ground to take a step back upfield and run the seam. For wattle, a fourth three receiver running stick nod, fake the stick foot in the ground, double move nod back up the field, working off of the quarterbacks eyes and manipulation of that Hook defender who has two things to be concerned about waddles, movement and

to his eyes. And anytime we're gonna get a linebacker on seven team throwing the ball and you can create that because of this personnel grouping. The Ravens keep their base defense out there and that's how you wind up with a linebacker on a four three receiver in the slot, the one or the three rather in closest to the formation. And again, by the way, really really, really good pass port on that play. Stuff that seems innocuous but is not. The glance route to Trent surefield down in the red

zone on that first touchdown drive. It's a fake toss play and to go from that to get your mechanics aligned, get good grip on the football and then put the ball where he did. Man, that's a big time trade because not only does the over the running play get the action to move the way you wanted to the mechanics and the ability to sell that fake and quickly get back a line from the quarterback that is just as big of a factor in making that play as

the design itself. Sorry, the coffee has given me some hiccups right now. But then put that thing right behind the ear hole of a linebacker once again, right in behind all that action. The Durham Smith catch before the first waddle touchdown is another cool wrinkle of personnel groupings. This dolphin's offense can go to twelve personnel, one back, two tight ends, and it's double wise. What that means is both your tight ends are attached to the lion

of scrimmage of the same side of the field. Imbalanced wise. Kausiki commands three defenders with little slant route that he runs and Durham Smith is in pass pro for as solid two beats before he comes off that block and leaks into the flat. It's just so much to account for and every single snap. We heard Josh Boyer talking about how you have to spend some sleepless nights here at the facility defending this ravens offense the way that

dolphins played in this game. Other coaches will say the same thing about this offense because there's so much you have to account for. I did break down the wattle screen touchdown on the podcast yesterday. Just more formation irregularities. Get the defense flowing on the fake to tyreek inside on the handoff and throw right in behind it and you get three great blocks in Space Sherefield, armstead and Eikenberg. You See Liam take a jab step inside to sell

that run action. Another theme you're gonna hear about on this podcast for the next thirty, forty minutes and you have to make a defense believe in the run action right. Well, they did and touch down dolphins. We will get to this later on the long touchdown throw. But TWAS subtle pocket movement looked really, really good in this game. The ball to the far hash to waddle on a hitch route. You know, I think he probably should have came back to the ball and made the catch because it was

broken up as he kind of stood stationary. But he did drive the defensive backus all three yards in the wrong direction. But he allowed him to get back into the play. But on that L to a recognized a little bit of pressure to his right, so he just slides up and lets it run right by him. No panic, stays square and a line to his target and just rips a strike. But because the cornerback came over the back of the of the receiver, it's a P bu I think the biggest miss of the day was late

in the first half. Two. It gets on his on a roll to the right on a naked bootleg and fires high to waddle. But tyreek was also opened down field and it looks like maybe twoa didn't see him now. I thought the throw was too high at first, but it actually was catchable and it went through waddles hands. Waddle had a few drops in this game. He could have had even more, probably two hundred yards if he caught every ball thrown to him that hit him in the hands. And so with that, you know, I take

it back. Actually, the second I n t to me was the biggest miss of the day. I think there was four or five misses. I had three or four misses, but this was the big one. But I just love that coach mentioned how it was one of the biggest mistakes that too had made that he'd seen so far, or of the season I should say. But Him taking the coaching and pressing forward and was only worried about the next play. That is big, big time stuff there, man,

from your quarterback one. But what I saw, in terms of like breaking it down the all twenty two, here's kind of what the tape showed me. The Ravens had three defenders to the one side of a three by one formation, three receivers of this side, waddle the lone receiver to the backside, and Marcus Williams never drove. He never opened his hips, he just kept getting depth and kept his eyes on the quarterback and he allowed to his eyes and the football to take him right to

the spot. That was a miss. I sure liked the swing route to Raheem Mostart, to the three side of a three by one formation that had waddle, chase and tyreek all run routes beyond the sticks, which of course backs the defense out and clears them up. And then you get some really nifty running by Raheem and a great job of kind of an on an island from Lee and Eichenberg against Calais. Campbell to double anchor on that pass rush rep and afford two of the time

to get that swing route out to Raheem Mostard. My goodness, the shot from to a on second and twenty four was so, so good. Jalen waddle holds Patrick Queen's attention for just a beat to open the window and once again two rips it in right behind his head to a throw that there's probably some paint chips coming off Patrick Queen's helmet because the football kept going right over the top of him, right into dolphins receiver's hands behind him. And you can miss at this point see two US

starting to feel it. There's a third and ten with a free play because the ravens are off sides, where waddle pushes up against outside leverage. The cornerback gets depth beyond waddle and two US looking over that way at the off corner with his butt to the sideline, getting that depth and just throws it based upon that leverage and that pre determination, and right when waddle gets out of the break there's the ball. move the chains. First Down Dolphins. The very next play is one of the

coolest designs I've seen from anybody. They at Motion River cracraft and they pull Liam Eichenberg to the right and to a does a reverse pivot to fake the handoff. So at this point everything looks like a running play to the right and that gives you downhill flow to the right and the wrong direction, both going downhill and to the wrong side of the formation is a big

part of that. And Alec Ingold takes a dummy step inside then wheels back out and runs the wheel route and you can see Chuck Clark, thirty six and purple follows him inside and that gives Ingold the leverage he needs and two of flips a beautiful ball out there and as he's outflanking Chuck Clark, it's an easy, easy, fourteen, fifteen yards up the sideline. I think the touchdown throat to Mike Gasicki was maybe the best play off two

his career. And here's why they dropped nine. On third and goal from the fifteen, let me explain to you where the Purple Jerseys exist on this look when he throws the football to at the goal line between the Hash marks, another two yards deep, is a safety at the left Hash Mark. There's two out side corners at the two and six yard line to the left and an underneath hook defender at the eleven yard line. How

many is that? Four, five already? Then there's three more to the right of the formation, bracketing Gisicky and up on top of tyreek on a square in at the seven yard line. So you're not gonna go there because that's gonna just set up another fourth and goal for you. There is literally one spot the football can go to to give you a chance at a touchdown. It's the bottom right corner of the crossbar, and that's exactly where

the football goes. I put my handheld timer on this throw three separate times and I got three times close to each other, given me an average of one point, three four seconds. That throw traveled in one and a half seconds from the twenty yard line to the end line. That is a shot, boys and girls, and what a freaking catch by Mike gisicky. That's outstanding. Go ahead and

do your ten times speed gritty. You did, man, because you deserved it after that play, and this is why, like people pay money to go watch professional football, impossible circumstances and the very best athletes in the world making big time plays. I am floored at that play. I broke down the third and two slant where to throws a pass in a different direction than where his stride was going on twitter on Monday morning. That's some high,

high level stuff, man. A Nice wrinkle off a previous look where the UH where tyreek goes in motion and runs a speed out off that motion. And what a route it was by tyreek to just step his fan that route wide, put a foot in the ground, cross face and there's the football from Twa on what's basically a no look pass that gets you know if it's a different quarterback. Is All over sports center right, but

we'll take it. And Man, I thought that third and eight throw to waddle on the sideline that didn't go complete was pretty damn good too. He puts it high and away on the comeback and waddles. Juggle means he just cannot get the feet to come down inbounds, but

really great location against a tough coverage. Look, the Ravens were squatting at the sticks and so to has this kind of trade where he will throw high and away from defenders in those spa and man he's getting good at just jams that thing and they're on time, in rhythm, on location. It looks nice, but we couldn't squeeze that one. He then comes back and drills a really well schemed

up play to waddle for twenty five plus yards. Then there's a tight window throw where he once again throws with anticipation, expecting his receiver to clear coverage, and he does. And it's waddle again for twelve and this time, because they're getting sick of seeing this, they actually pulled a backside defender down to come drive on this thing and put a pop on seventeen. But the balls out so

early with such good anticipation. JALEN's four yards from clearing Patrick Queen in the middle of the field, and so that backside defender can't get there because the balls out so early in time. Boom on the money, move the chains.

There's a second and six, when the game is thirty five to four team, where two it gets pressure and hits the top of his drop and sets up and throws to a spot where his mechanics are not going because of the step up out of the pressure, and the ball is right out in front of Waddle, which allows him to turn the corner and beat the defender to the sideline for another ten or twelve yards. This is where the accuracy we've been talking about really shows up.

The ball is six inches further backwards. Wattle gets tackled right there. It's third down, but NOPE, it's first in goal because the location of the football the cracraft touchdown first. Excellent, excellent job from a wide receiver from a higher learning

institution such as Washington State. cracraft immediately gokugs ditches his route when he sees the quarterback in trouble and sprints, not jogs, sprints to the other side of the field to give to a target and pay off a terrific scramble where there's pressure to feels it and he's got no intention of throwing the football to the right. There's no one open over there when he pumps it, but the pump allows him to get one step on the rusher and wheel out of danger and throw on the

move for a touchdown. Way To play. So we talked about the resolve a lot the last couple of days. After two does a great job to move the defense and clear a lane for wattle after he drops that pass that nearly got picked off. What happens in the

next play? Tyreek runs behind the entire defense, and my favorite part of this play is the ravens overload pressure to the left and two of very subtly sees it and just moves his drop to the right, just slide shuffles over to the right and gets to a spot that allows him to anticipate where the vacancy in the pocket might be, hitch up to that spot and drive the ball down the field. And when he lets it go to AH is at the minus forty one. Tyreeks at the Plus Twenty eight with the corner right next

to him and the safety taking a step forward. That's the wrong whale WAPPO. But five yards behind tyreek driving up, he's trying to jump that crossing route to waddle. That's the wrong move, my friend. The ball falls right in the TYREEK's lap of the two yard line. Actually the fourth longest air yards on a completion in the NFL this season for a touchdown. Great, great blitz, pick up across the board and pass pro all around. So what is that? Forty one is nine yards to midfield, Downer

the two. So that's forty eight more yards. Fifty seven yards on that are yard. Great throw to we'll talk about the fit play to tyreek. That happened next from the Peter King football morning in America article. But two has got eyes down the middle before he looks back to his left and TYREEK has already gone. Ball is out DEUCES. Not much to break down, just pure speed

and a great throw. Then the next drive the Ravens get two free runners on a potential game winning blitz for them and Edmonds knocks one of them out, but to a stands in there and delivers the football under fire and the ball is out before tyreke even bends his route inside and there it is, right when the ball meets the intersection of the route. Twenty more yards after another awesome job by the offensive line to get the most immediate danger inside blocked up to give to

a just enough time. Very last one here for Tua, the throw to waddle for the touchdown on well, the one on first single, I should say it was pretty damn good, tight window, damn near got it. Then they would as Mike Florio told us on football night in America that waddle told him he kind of created that route up out of thin air, because you see, the one Surefield, the widest receiver he runs is a quick square and right off the snap and the cornerback jumps

it and goes underneath waddle. So jalen looking like he's gonna set a pick on the outside corner and maybe go to the flag. He gets some depth and widens Marcus Peters. Then he just puts his foot in the ground whips back inside at the same time on the pivot that to a steps up out of pressure and attacks the line of scrimmage with his eyes down field. Then he throws it high and away from the defense

and waddle makes a terrific contested catch, dolphins win. So really I think there was about three or four plays he'd like to have back and then nine or ten big boy, big time, big time players and big time games and big time throws. What a tape. That was great, great job one. That's the best single dolphins game tape I've ever watched. Now I haven't watched any Marinos all twenty two, but that was the best one I've seen in the last, you know, twelve years of doing this.

We'll keep it going. One. We covered a lot of them, but here are some extra penguin and Cheetah notes. The acceleration coming out of that move on the long fifty nine yard catch and run is rare, rare, or start stops be. It's why waddles so special. And how about the freaking block by ALEC ingle Thirty Yards Downfield? And that play? What a play. We've mentioned this before, by the way. Tyreek stresses every single route. There's a play

I mentioned earlier. Second he just pushes up at full speed until he can't anymore and it makes it incredibly hard to drive on any route where he's coming back to the quarterback and with the way to us reading anticipating right now. You just can't defend that. The way he angled back to TWA on the last drive on that little square in where he caught it and run like fifty yards across the field laterally, that prevented any possibility of the DB jump in the route. He's so

polished in his routes, so is waddle. Great stuff from these guys. Let's break down the chase edmunds twenty eight yard run and then get to the rest of the notes. It's jet motion and split flow action, which is two guys running later role to the line of scrimmage to displace second level defenders, linebackers. Right, Rob Hunt immediately turns

his guy out. EIKENBERG latches onto the double team that he and Connor Williams start with and Ikenberg takes that man out while connor can climb up to the second level and wipe out the safety. Thirty six, Chuck Clark. We talked about it all camp long. You give chase or Raheem a sliver, it's gonna be an explosive and it was here. Potentially game winning type of run there

for Chase Edmonds. Craig craft an awesome job sealing the edge on a motion toss to Raheem Mos dirt to start the third quarter where he pinned in number crack toss. Good job by the coug receiver. Then we get a big downfield block from Trent Sherfield, Mike get sicky and Connor Williams. So much of that in this game. Multiple

guys getting big blocks. Uh Greg Little and Robert Hunt fired out of their stance on the first snap of the game and out leverage the ravens edge to get Raheem seven yards off that right side, and big rob later in the game. Lad a five yard Raheem moster run with a pulling lead and wham takes out the second level linebacker. Dolphins Guards, Rob Hunt Liam Eikenberg got so many good blocks in as pulling guards in this game. Let's talk about Alec Ingold. He's gonna get a lot

of play here on this podcast. He gets a handcake on the second play on that screen where he's in the slot and goes and gets the safety coming from depth.

Tyreek got a block there too. Literally two plays later he flanks to it in the backfield and here comes most dirt in orbit motion, which is where they kind of run behind the quarterback on that motion, like little reverse pass, and that turns Alec into the lead blocker and he goes and gets himself a pancake again back to back plays on that first drive, the waddle catch and run, then out in space on a tyreek screen, just knocking heads. Man, what a game for number thirty.

The first run play of the second half he clears another lane with another pancake on an eleven yard mostert run. He had a great game. How about some RPO action? Still an effective piece of this offense. Obviously you don't want to be your base, but man, it's a nice look to go to third play of the game to a pulls it when the edge crash is hard and throws it right behind the ear hole. Love to see that. And Man we have some fun blocks in the running game.

We talked about ingold pancake and guys. In the first drive there's a player where Tahron's outflanked and still gets wide to turn his man seal him back inside, and then Eikenberg sends a man to the moon on his block. Connor Williams hits the reach block and turns him. Durham Smith gets the second level for a nice lead block there. I just had armstead, Eichenberg and connor really killing the running game in the first drive of the game. Multiple

reach blocks outflanking guys. Who talked about that in the preview? Big Offense, big defensive line, Athletic Offensive Line. Miami won US speed on those plays. Gosh, the tackle play was so good in this game. The whole offensive line was good. Everybody hit key blocks in the running game. The pass pro was fantastic all day long. And how about Greg Little coming off the bench? Man? He was really, really good. Tehran and connor were both really good again and I

thought Liam was very good and rob as well. The entire line played well. talked about the guards, pulling man. I love the way rob plays, you know, two guys in separate places, and pass pro, where he has hands on one guy to help, but he's got eyes scanning elsewhere trying to find out where else he can help. When his man backs out, he helps his neighbor and pass pro but keeps those eyes active to find that

next guy. And I love seeing how this group feels out rush games, gets their landmarks and then goes and finds work. If they don't have any I don't want to break down every single play, but man, the running game had some lanes and I think there's still more to be had there. A couple of plays opened up some big creases and defender just barely gets there to chop down our back. All right, that's a very long

first segment. We're almost full time here. Let's go ahead and take our first break and come back and get to the defensive film and all the numbers. That's next here on the drivetime podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by auto nation, picking it back up for the film review on the Dolphins defensive side of the ball,

and man who Lamar Jackson was really Dang good. They had answers for our bags of tricks, starting with that cat blitz to open the game where he just sees it and throws a now route to the vacated space. Did that a few times in this game and there was plenty of rush contained where we weren't really necessarily sending our guys with a penetration themed attack. A real emphasis on staying engage and keeping your eyes on Lamar, and he did what he had to do to beat that.

Stayed in the pocket went through his progressions let things develop. It's a tough, tough cover for more than three seconds in this league and he was patient enough to let that happen. It's a tough guy to defend. Man. If we get where we want to go in January you probably see him again. This team is winning the north,

no doubt in my mind. They used a lot of the same principles that our offense went with with regards to pre snap motion, lateral movement to attract the eyes of the defenders and using that speed out of the backside. This game is a great example of how effective speed can be so tough to deal with for a defense in the NFL too. Let's break down that goal line stand first and two it's a heavy wishbone. Everybody's inside, including all eleven defenders from Miami. Og Ball throws the

tight end right into the backs track. Wilkins stands it up, Baker cuts it down off the edge and e ROB helps get surge from the back of the pile. Second one heavy wishbone. Eleven again, eleven defenders in the box. Wilkins splits the garden center with the first step off the snap. Seedler splits the other side and gets through those two guys and they are such good players. Third and one. Now it's heavy gun with one split back. The fullback motions from his nasty split to the play

side to lead that Lamar Jackson power run. This time there's not penetration, but Sam Aguavin comes across the formation and Wax Lamar just in time to get him down. Then fourth and one. fumbled snap, but honestly I chalk it up to winning those three straight plays. You'RE gonna go to your best short yardage plays in that spot right for Baltimore. You sniff out all three of them.

Suddenly they're like better try something different here and then you rush your primary shotgun quarterback up under center and it causes an exchange issue. Great stuff from the Miami Defense on that one. Back to the Ravens design. The Long Bateman touchdown was pretty good for them. The stick route to the boundary pulls Javon Holland down and creates

that foot race for Rashon Bateman. Plus there was late motion where x had a chance to had to change from duvern a to Bateman and they did that jet sweep and snap the ball like within one second. So you see X condensed down inside. Then he has to flip his hips back to the outside to play that inside leverage. And I won't say it was easy for Bateman to get that access, but the design of the play really helped him out. Great Romans. The top O C right. You see why in this game. Then there

were plays where coverage was good. Rush looked like at might impact Lamar and he just got out of it. Like that twenty yard run in the first half. Phillips flies by with what looked like it could have been a potential big qb hit, but Morgan Moses gets a late chip and sends him wide and that was all it took for Lamar to get the edge. He was just so dang good. That seemshot to mark Andrews after

the run was a great quarterback play. Then the next drive he drills one to Isaiah, likely reading the concept so very well. I talked about Wilkins and sealler. Their ability to hold the point from all techniques, all positions, the two, the four, the three, the two eye, the four eye, so so impressive. You just don't see them

get rolled out or washed out. It really moved it all ever, a Landon Roberts gets a handful of reps just perfectly right every week where he flies between the B gaps and either blows up the ball carrier or sends the blocker right into the ball carrier's lap and that winds up disrupting the running back track. He's a good fit behind some of those bear fronts when they do dial up that Christian Ray Kwan sealer front. He did get taken on the Lamar touchdown run, but that

was him overplaying one gap. Ray Kwan rode the way for a run stuff from that nose tackle position on the left guard and he dives over the block for the tackle. I thought that play was indicative of all the physical skill sets that he offers, with the length, the power of the quickness and athletic ability. Let's go over some individual notes right. I have another note on the Lamar touchdown run, but I just told you what

happened there and just overplayed it by a gap. Emmanuel Ogba absorbs and shakes a tough block from Moses to detach for a run stuff. Jerome Baker had a nice play on Lamar Jackson and space on zone read where he was all alone and got the quarterback to the ground. Melvin Ingram had some impactful rushes that really forced a

couple of hurried throws. Kator Co, who made a really nice tackle on a swing screen to get on the outside shoulder of his block and stick his face and the fan for the tackle, and then Eric rose coverage on the third down completion short of the sticks to Andrews was fantastic. Jam Him ran under that back hip and made the play for the immediate tackle. Then Lamar's touchdown round. We talked about that. UH, why isn't there?

Twice we had guys get caught in space a couple of times and coverage like Brandon Jones and a couple of times. But again, the offensive plan, calls and execution just kind of did that. We praised to a fort. Lamar moved guys and through in behind those well constructed concepts to space to clear out by the initial route, that second route to get space. I want to give Phillips a shout out for his hustle on a toss play to Kenyan drake in the fourth quarter, first down

on the fourth down stop stop drive. He comes from Washington D C All the way over to Baltimore to string that thing out, and Melvin Ingram allowed him to do so by beating a block and forcing lamar to bubble as well. The strength of steiler. On that third down play, man Lamar has the first down, but he just grabs him and throws him backwards. And more good hustle by the rest of the guys. Phillips, Wilkins, Holland Riley all get in there and pull him back short

of the sticks. He moves the chains there. It's gonna be game over. Then one last one here the fourth down stop. Steiler, once a getting short yardage, beats a block, causes a pile up. Roberts knife in and puts a polling guard on his butt, and you can see that's where Lamar Jackson's feet got tangled and prevented him from kind of diving forward, for any fall forward whatsoever. Then Duke Riley smacks the back who serves as the polar and trey flowers. Welcome to Miami. He got knocked back

right at the point of attack. Big Time, big time stuff there. All right. How about some numbers from this game from the dolphins side of things. Some stats for two on the season. Seven thirty nine total yards thirty five first down, seven touchdowns, also a fourth quarter comeback. He's second in Qbr at eighty five point seven. That's just some point nine points off the pace of Josh Allen heading into Monday night football tonight. Will Update that

on the Wednesday podcast. His one hundred and sixteen point five passer rating his fourth best in football. How about two on third down? This year, seventeen of twenty one on the money down for two D six yards, four touchdowns and twelve first downs. His passer rating is one fifty one point one on third downs. SPRINKLE in the loan fourth down attempt he has this year. Eighteen for twenty two, two hundred and sixty eight yards, five touchdowns,

a one fifty seven rating. Pretty good. Tyreek hill is leading the league with receiving yards at two eighty four. Waddle of second at two forty. They have the most combined touchdowns of any two receivers, with five waddles three year, tied for the most in the NFL. Tyreek hill has eleven point four yards per target and waddle has ten yards per target. That's sixth and fifteen among receivers with at least ten targets. Among receivers with ten catches, waddle

is first and Yak tyreek is fourth. Seven point six per catch and six point one for tyreek per catch. How about PFF numbers under pressure to a five of nine, seventy two yards, one touchdown against the blitz, ten for thirteen, one thirty two and a touchdown with an average depth of target of seven point eight yards. How about twenty plus yard throws? Four of five, one fifty five, three touchdowns, one pick. That's a one, eight teen point four rating.

And Ten plus yard throws, thirteen of eighteen, three hundred and fifteen yards, four touchdowns, two picks, a one fourteen three five rating. A couple of cool nuggets with the to see a hat tip to S K parrot on twitter, to a following an interception the last two years. Six five yards, five touchdowns, no pics, a one thirty five point to rating. And then fourth quarter ranks, dating back to all quarterbacks. Two ranks. First and touchdown percentage, completion percentage,

first down percentage. He's fourth and passer rating fourth and sack avoids percentage and fifth all time in net yards per play. How about the yards per target and yards per route ran from tyreek Hill and Jalen waddle. Fourteen point six yards per target for Tyreek Hill, four point seventy five yards per route ran. You want to be over eight and two of these categories. By the way, ten point seven a dot. Waddle was nine yards per target, four point oh seven yards per route ran and ten

point two yards of average depth of target rack. In the game waddle had eighty seven. Cheetah had sixty one. MOSTARD had thirty three. JALEN's first in the NFL with seven point six yards of yack yards among all receivers at least ten catches. TIREK is fifth at six point one. How about some non Cheetah Penguins, skill guys combining for a hundred ninety two yards and two touchdowns. And how about that efficiency? Kisicky for most are three ingled to

chef Sherfield, to all of them. Caught all those targets. Two. It was eleven for eleven, with ninety three yards throwing to those players. How about the running backs in this game, averaging six yards per carry between uh Mosterre and Edmunds. If you remove both two, an Ingold sneaks most diret forced five miss tackles. As a ball carrier. He averaged two point four or five yards after contact and Edmund's average two point eight. Both had one ten plus yard run.

On the offensive line. Two point seven, three yards or seconds time to throw for two on the season. That's two full tens better of a second than last year. The dolphins allowed nine pressures on fifty three dropbacks, just one sack. That was the only qb hit the entire day. Armstead two pressures, Ikenburg two pressures, Connor Williams, two pressures, Hunt and little one apiece. Zero hits attributed to the offensive line. The sack went to Durham Smith on that

split flow action where he missed the block. By the way, the Ravens had thirty two pressure an eleven quarterback hits last week. PFF says we average nine point seven yards running the ball behind Robert Hunt and Connor Williams, six point three yards behind to ron armstead and five yards behind the right guard by himself. On defense, two pressures for sailor Phillips and Ingram, one for Davis Jones, Baker and AGBA Wilkins had five run stops. Seiler Jones and

Eg van had two apiece. Six guys had one. All right, short and sweet there. On defense, we have a little bit of left to get to here, including snap counts, scanning the social and coach mcdaniels Monday in news conference. That's next on the drift time podcast, your host, Travis Wingfield, brought to you by auto nation. I told you, guys, it's gonna be a longer podcast today with all we had to get to breaking down all those plays. Let's go ahead and get to the snap counts here real quick.

Uh in the game on Sunday and just kind of give you some thoughts on those snap counts. On the offense, the offensive line went wire to wire, as did your quarterback. That's obviously exceptionally ideal. Seventy one snaps for all of those guys. Jalen waddle led the way for all receivers with fifty seven snaps. Tyreek hill played fifty four. Then you had Sherfield, Wilson, Craig Craft Sixteen. At tight end, Mike Gasicki leads the way with forty four snaps, Durham

Smith thirty five and tanner conner played one. At fullback, Alec Ingold Played Twenty Six and then among the running backs most thirty nine, edmunds thirty six, with good time share there among the running backs, and Gasicki gets back into the tight end lead as far as snap counts go,

and then obviously you see your two top receivers. They're getting the bulk of the workload and the rest of the guys kind of rounding out the group there, although Wilson did leave the game with an injury which, by the way, and coach mcdaniel's press conference he did say that imaging came back without any breaks on Cedric Wilson's ribs, but he is pretty sore because that's what happens on a rib injury. He'll be day today. On defense we had two players go wired to wire, Javon Holland and

Jerome Baker. Ex Avian Howard's out there for fifty two of the fifty nine snaps, and then how about Zack seiler and Christian Wilkins? These guys are so well conditioned. Forty six snaps for Seeler, forty five for Wilkins, forty five for Jalen Phillips. We also had forty from a land and Roberts. Brandon Jones played thirty eight snaps. Emmanuel Ogba thirty six, Eric Roe Thirty Five, Ray Kuan Davis and Melvin Ingram both played thirty two. Duke Riley thirty one.

You get the idea here. Like a lot of guys played a lot of snaps. Nick Need Him Twenty Six, K or cohove. The Dolphins did go with Cohu UH starting the second half over nick need him. Coach addressed that in his press conference. Will play two answers from his press conference on this podcast. You can find the rest up on Miami Dolphins Dot Com as well as the youtube channel. Rounding out the group, Keion crossing had twenty, John Jenkins Fourteen, Trey flowers eight and Sam Egill von Seven.

Man Total team effort. There tons of guys playing tons of snaps in this game. So scanning the social this week, I don't have much, because what could I paw sibly have a gripe with everyone taking notice. Reminds me of a verse from one of my favorite little dickey tracks. Next play wide open three, like wet the yard taking notice. I take a charge, but they don't even notice. Don't leave them opens jumper as potent. Everyone kind of on

the same page. There today around the web. So Peter King wrote a great story on the football morning in America, talking about the effort play, the long touchdown pass from two what's a Tyreek Hill on third and ten, about how that play was installed and just kind of the whole process of putting that thing together. Go check it out. Football morning in America. I'm not gonna read the whole thing here because we're already getting very long, but check

it out. Peter King, football morning in America, a very, very long blurb on your Miami Dolphins. Go ahead and finish up here with two quotes from head coach Mike mcdaniel. First I asked him about the non animal themed nickname players in the skill sets. You're like that verbiage there about them putting up one yards and two touchdowns and

how valuable that is as an offense. Will play that first, and then we'll finish after that with coach talking about two a tongue of by Loa's performance and what that can do for their relationship the conference. Coach feels in him the confidence the coaching staff and players fill into a tongue of by LOA. Here's coach on those two answers. M Hmm. Well, I mean unbeknownst you have named every player and animal. Um. No, it's it's crucial. You know, the Um part of a good offense is utilizing all

five eligibles on the field. Um and defenses are too good in the national football league that if you're a one or two trick pony, eventually they can um dictate the terms and and uh render you a lot less effective. So Um each and every game, uh you're you're trying to distribute the ball to your playmakers, and we have a lot of them. Sometimes, Um, the given uh circumstances or the defensive presentations dictate. Um. People get um more

one game than they will the next. Um. I've alluded before to the fact that uh, you know the Um from a statistical standpoint. The best offense that Um I was ever a part of. It was the two thousand and sixteen Atlanta Falcons. and Um I think that game that Julio had three yards receiving against the panthers. The game before he had one catch for sixteen yards. So Um, you have to be able to take advantage of matchups

or defenses if the opportunity is given. But you also have to be able to distribute the ball, so guys can't over key on one or two individuals and the Blur Bontua. Um. I think it. I think it, uh. I think it allows him, Um, it kind of makes it tangible what his teammates, Myself, the coaching staff have been seen. Um, uh, you know this whole offseason. Um. So it makes the you know that evolution of you know the things of UH. I mean he was, he was.

He took such a step in the right direction yesterday and through a through an interception, that he was absolutely disgusted with himself and in that game to take the coaching and still press forward with it was probably his biggest mistake that he's had all this season. So that, like that makes it that much more real and what it can do for him if he's just worried about playing the next playing up, not pressing or not being overly hard on himself. So I think the messaging for

that and for him his personal growth is huge. But Um, I also think um it's it's awesome for a player to feel his he he knows that he did some really, really good things. I think deep down he would never say it, but I think, Um, you'd have to be kind of delusional not to start to be like hey, six touchdowns was pretty good right, um. But I think there's also something to the fact that none of his teammates were surprised, which is much more impactful than words.

You can feel that when guys are like they're like, Whoa Dude, where that come from, you know, like Um. So I think I think that's great for him. He deserves it. Um. None of it was given at all. He earned every ounce of that Um, which I know players respect a great deal. Um. So I think that benefits everybody, Um uh, players and coaches included. All right, there we go.
