Week 2 Recap - 5 Takeaways from Dolphins 42-38 Win Over Ravens

do you want? What a game? The Dolphins come from behind and topple the Baltimore Ravens with a forty two to thirty eight victory, a victory that saw the Dolphins outscore the Ravens to three in the fourth quarter. We'll give you five takeaways on this game. We'll hear from two what hungle Bloa, Tyreek Hill head coach Mike McDaniel

talk about the crazy stats this game produced. And we'll go ahead and play another segment from the post game show from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health

Training Complex. This is the Drive Time Podcast. So if you heard the post game show with Seth Juice and I you heard me say how many times that I was feeling like I'm just kind of getting the goose bumps from this entire show and from that conversation and from this game, and just seeing all the times that my phone was buzzing with the next thing from the next person, and the comments that we heard from Jalen Waddle after the game in the huddle of talking about

two Let's actually go ahead and play that audio here real quick before we get to all the crazy stats from this game. Exciting time dame right now. So now he called the play uh be executed. Now it's us or them, he says, And on this day it was the Miami Dolphins in at victory twenty eight points in the fourth quarter. We actually saw Lamar Jackson tweet after the facts saying good stuff today, Miami Dolphins, Ravens gonna

bounce back. Pretty rare to see an opposing team's quarterback shout the other team out that way the way Lamar Jackson did in that one. So here in Jalen say TWA told them it's either them or us. It was that us on this day. So great to see that happen for your Miami Dolphins. And we always start with the stats here, Let's go ahead and do that and jump right in. I'm gonna be fast. I'm gonna be possibly all over the place. Today. It's seven forty five on a Sunday night. I did two hours of postgame

drove over here. I am still absolutely fired up. So I'm gonna do my best to keep it all composed and within myself. But here are the stats from this game from a team perspective. Dolphins twenty seven first downs, Baltimore three. Miami was seven of eleven on third down, Baltimore was three of ten. The Dolphins converted both their fourth down tries. The Ravens converted one of three. Big big aspect in this game. Talking about the defense making some plays when they had to, we'll get to that

later on. Five hundred and forty seven total yards for Miami Baltimore four seventy three. That's four sixty one through the air for the Dolphins, three eighteen for the Ravens. Miami has eighty six on the ground, Baltimore has one fifty five. The Dolphins out wrapped Baltimore sixty nine to fifty four total plays, and the Dolphins have the two turnovers Baltimore zero. So you lose the turnomber battle win the game. Dolphins take one sack, don't get any sacks

of their own. Miami also has eight penalties fifty one yards to Baltimore's one for five and the Dolphins had the ball for just under thirty five minutes compared to the Baltimore Ravens having it for just over twenty five minutes. I'm gonna go to my Twitter account right now and find the stuff that I liked and retweeted, because there is plenty of it on the bone. Talking about the crazy stats from this game, first, up to a tongue by Low tied a franchise record with six six touchdown passes.

It was the most since Dan Marino did at six and he joins Marino and Greasy as the only Dolphins quarterbacks to throw for six touchdown passes in a single game. How about this crazy stat The Dolphins field stretching receivers per next Gen forced the Ravens secondary to cover a lot of ground. Dolphins forced Dolph Ravens defensive back to travel six thousand, one hundred thirty one yards on pass

plays over the course of the game. That was the most by defensive bat group since the start of last season, the Dolphins were the first team in NFL history with a player recording four hundred plus passing yards with five passing touchdowns to a tung of Byloa, and two teammates recording a hundred and seventy plus receiving yards and two touchdowns Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle within the same game. How about this, Jeff Darlington tweets how wild was Miami's comeback.

It's the first time in twelve years a team has come back from a twenty one point deficit in the fourth quarter. From two teams trailling by twenty one plus points in the fourth quarter, have a record of oh and seven hundred and eleven. Oh and seven eleven. It just doesn't happen. It's unprecedented, and it happened today. What else we got here? That's all my stats for you from Twitter. I'm sure there's plenty more out there. We'll cover on the podcast on Tuesday, because we go in

depth on those podcasts. How about our five takeaways here on the Reaction Recap show. Here takeaway number one, it's too man. Let's go ahead and start here with head coach Mike McDaniel talking about two a tongue of by loa and his confidence and how big of a role that plays in his production and his game. Now maybe two will finally listen to me. And what I mean by that is, like I said it to you guys before, but like, it's awesome to be critically yourself. It is good,

you know, he he has a high standard for himself. Um, but you know, just after the first game, I just wanted to see the guy enjoy playing football and understand him that, yes, you want to make the perfect read and the perfect throw every time, but who cares. If you just get better at one thing a game, you're gonna be pretty good at them the season. So let's let's just press forward. Well, these are all sound clips

from the postgame press conferences. If you want to find them in their entirety, go ahead and head over to the Dolphins YouTube channel Miami Dolphins dot com, go to our Twitter account. There's gonna be tons and tons of fun content for you guys these next couple of days. So there's head coach Mike McDaniel onto a tongue of yloa.

He just he just bowled out today. Man, it was fun to watch he ties the franchise record of six touchdown passes, throws for four hundred and sixty nine yards while computing over his passes and a one one point four passer rating, I cannot wait to go ahead and see where the ranks are across the league on all of his passing metrics on Monday again. I'll have that for you guys on my Twitter timeline at Wingfield, NFL as well as on the Tuesday show, the All twenty

two review Tuesday show here on the Drivetime podcast. But to Ah, he had it all working today, including some advert city for himself, which of course is just an opportunity, right, and boy did he take that opportunity and run with it. We heard Coach breakdown a couple of I n T s a little bit, the first one saying that the ball was on Tyreek or not on Tyreek. I shouldn't say that, but the Tyreek normally makes that catch. It

was bracket coverage, two defenders in the area. But you do see the football hit Cheetah's hands first and then from there just kind of a flukey bounce that went the way it went, which you know, put the ball into tight coverage. Sometimes that will happen. Almost saw a pick on a drop past later in the game as well, so not all I n T s are created equally. Context always important, obviously, but still a turnover. After the Ravens returned the opening kickoff a hundred three yards for

a touchdown. I thought it was cool to hear coach talk about the confidence, how that materializes, how the way to a has played in this game. Perhaps, as he said jokingly there you heard him say, maybe he'll start to listen to me now, and that's a reference to not being so overcritical of yourself and really, you know, focusing so much on the airs and mistakes and playing

a more confident, a little more loose. I think we saw that with some incredible poise in that second half from your quarterback, and how maybe that second pick was forcing the ball down the field a little bit to

Jalen Waddle on that deep shot. So it's not the stat that you wanted, and even or the start you wanted, I should say, and even within the start, and I tweeted this, there were still plenty of flashes Like I mean, we're seeing this offense attack in the intermediate and deep portions of the field with such great success Right now. I cannot wait to see the average depth of target on his throws on Monday. And I mean we talked about eight point two yards per past last week. How

about nine point three eight yards per pass? And when you throw out fifty times, that's not just efficient, that is big time football, man, that's crazy. The accuracy getting off the spot and shaking guys a little bit. He evaded some pressure in this game and made plays off script when he did evade that pressure. That little half spin where he gets out of pressure and throws that

touchdown was a thing of beauty. And how about the eyes and the feet moving guys across the field that play I referenced earlier, the drop that was a near pick by Wattle in the fourth quarter I think it was maybe third quarter. You know, he looks the flat and takes his feet in his eyes over there, and it moves that hook linebacker and then he just drills that thing between a trio of defenders in a way

that was so picture perfect. That's what you want from the processing standpoint, which we know this guy certainly has that in his back pocket. A pair of deep shots to Tyreek Hill. I mean, look Consistency is going to be the key. That's obvious. I know that we all get that. Think we're all smart enough to understand that, just as I thought it was crazy to see the reactions after the first half of not great football from

this team. I'm not gonna come back over the top here and do the exact same thing in the other direction, but gosh, I just hope we can stop saying and talking about all the things that to uh and I'm using air quotes can't do when he's so clearly can do them. It's about consistency for him. But don't sit here and tell me he can't do things, because today he did the things that you've been telling me he can't do. Now do it consistently, and then we're gonna

be cooking with gas. But I just wanted to get that point across, and Tyreek Hill talked about it, how he thinks to approve something on that final drive, and I mean, didn't he The Dolphins crawled, have to crawl back after being down by twenty one points with a touchdown to make it a fourteen point game. They get the football back and you're thinking, Okay, here's a chance to put together they have to punt, then some other quick touchdown for the Ravens, and right there you're like,

all right, twenty one points. We had our chance. It's over now. Fourth quarter, easy opportunity to hang your head. But they didn't, and they just kept coming and coming and coming back for more. The resolve to do that. It says a lot about this quarterback, says a lot about this head coach, says a lot about this football team. To a had some third down conversions today, ma'am. And here's how I tracked him. A twelve yard complation to

Mike get Sicky on third and seven. They did not complete a third and eighteen uh four third and five when they complete four yards to Waddle where the ford progress was not awarded and ruled him short of the sticks. They did, however, convert on the next play on a fourth in one conversion ten yards to go, eleven yard strike to j Len Waddle, thirteen yards to go, fourteen yard touchdown to Mike Gasicki. And what a throw and

what a catch that was. More on that moment, third and goal with three yards to go, touchdown to Craig Craft to spin out of that danger and evade that rush, third and ten forty eight yards to Tyreek Hill for a touchdown, third and six sixty yards to Tyreek Hill for a touchdown. So, I mean, it was an incredible day.

One big part that I really liked was to in his postgame presser mentioning how there was a kind of a learning moment early in the game on the pick where Tyreek ran that curl route and if you've noticed, he's ran that a few times in the first two games, where I should say one and a half games where he kind of takes the top off the defense by showing, you know, press the toes, run full speed, get them to flip their hips and go back, then slam on

the brakes and come back down for the curl. Well, you kind of saw that play out later in the game, and you know, Big Seth and Juice loved talking about his recall on the post game conferences where if you ask him a question about the game or a play that happened, he can usually rattle it off pretty quickly

for you. And he talked about that how the the first curl route, you know, the pick, they come back in that cornerback squats on that look to the perimeter, and Tyreek kind of shows a little little hesitation step and then takes off in the balls right there. Phrase sixty yard touchdown. Man, what a play, what a game, What a performance from this quarterback. You love to see it. Let's go ahead and take our first break and come back and get to some more of these takeaways. That's

number one. We have four more coming your way next here on the Draft Time Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. The Dolphins win in a comeback fashion forty two to thirty eight. What a crazy, crazy game it was for your Miami Dolphins. And we're gonna go ahead and pick it back up here with takeaway number two. But before we do that, I have three more sound bites. We're gonna start here first with two.

A tongue of Valoa on the big win. After that first takeaway, Well, yeah, I mean I would say I process what we did out there. That's that's a big win. That's tough to come into hostile environment like this and and be a really good team. Um you know, well we'll go enjoy it on the plane and then when we get home. Um, so yeah, takeaway number two. You know it's the Cheetah and the Penguin. First, before we break that down, let's go ahead and hear from Tyreek

on his quarterback. Man. I ain't gotta say too much. Man, all people gotta do is just look at the film of just too and who he is and just how consistent he is. You know that last drive that we had, you know, it really showed who he was as a as a leader. You know, you know, getting everybody inside of the hotel, you know, telling guys, hey, make sure you running the ball to you know, the official or

handed to Connor. You know, just the small things you know, to to the same time, and you know, be able for us to you know, drive on the field and make a play. You love hearing that telling the guys to get the football back to Connor, give it back to the f Let's get this thing going, no wasted time. Really manage those drives very well. So big part of that Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle. I mean twenty two catches three hundred sixty one yards among the two of them,

and four touchdown catches. What that's what ten and seventeen did today. Let's go ahead and start with Cheetah. I can't wait to watch this game on tape. And that's why even in a game where you know, I think at one point Cheetah had three for twenty one and he left the game with cramps. We saw it all the time with the Kansas City Chiefs. It only takes

him one or two plays to make his impact. Felt it stresses the defense every single time he's out there, and obviously, you know, he opens things up for Jalen to make some big plays. Jalen made some big places when Tyreek was down. But Tyreek talking about only needing the war or too plays to make the impact in

the in the box score himself. Aside from the impact he has in terms of just creating space and opening things up, well, he did it this time too massive have touchdowns both on third down, both long ball touchdowns. Obviously those two Tyreek there at the end. It's gonna get you going every single time. And then the Penguin Jalen waddle Man. You lose Tyreek Hill for a couple of plays, a couple of series there, and Jalen just

took over the go to guy at that time. He's doing a little bit of everything we know about his speed, the vertical threat. You saw him flip the field with that fifty nine yard play, the catching run early in the game. We'll get to the yacht stats tomorrow. I'm sure it was bountiful for this Dolphins offense, just getting the offense going. Then he's also catching contested balls on

the sideline, going up high over cornerbacks. He's pulling down crossing routes taken off, He's making big off frame catches. We heard coach talk about how special of a player he thinks Jalen can be at various points this offseason. Yeah, that was That was today career high for Jalen Waddle. And we mentioned the two receivers going at the the over a hundred and seventy yards like they did and the records heading pace of the day. I'm getting out

of breath here, slow down. Travis to Ago was thirty six for fifty four sixty nine, six touchdowns and two picks, a point four passer rating. Tyreek goes eleven for one and two touchdowns, Jalen goes eleven for one and two touchdowns. When we were at halftime of the late games, there was a tweet out there that two receivers in the NFL this year had two hundred yards. Both of them are Miami Dolphins. That's probably changed since then, but still

pretty pretty freaking cool. Let's go ahead and get to our third takeaway, but first before that, since it involves coach McDaniel, I want to hear from coach McDaniel on this team facing adversity and how valuable that can be.

I mean, we've been talking about it. We just um had a game where we were able to have to lead the whole game, and so I the night before I told the guys that, you know, I was really hoping that would get some off adversity of this game, and like, I want to see how we respond um to a deficit, and apparently they just took me way too literal. Again, you can find these press conferences in their entirety up on Miami dolphins dot com. Coach, even in a crazy comeback victory, still finding ways to get

his wit and his humor across there. Takeaway number three dozen involve the coaching staff, and it's about the offense. Is the design of the offense and the tendency breakers. We talked about the average depth of target. We'll find that stat tomorrow. We talked about the average yards per pass. The running game got things cranking today, especially late in that game, big twenty eight yard rip by Chase Edmonds.

That's kind of where I want to start here, because that's a situation where let me get the phone out and pull the game log up here and talk my way through it. As I do that, you're just not expecting a run play in that situation. And not to compare the two because it's kind of silly to do that, but I'm gonna do it anyways. You know, I used to be really, really good playing Madden Online, Like I think at one point my record was like night and twelve.

Like I was really dang good at it. And one of the things I would always do is before the two minute warning, I would run the ball, like if there's two oh four, run the ball because I'm not gonna expect it, and you can get like, you know, an easy ten twelve yards and stop the clock at

the two minute warning. Well, the Dolphins they do something somewhat similar, as they have some time, but not all the time in the world, and after a nine yard completion from two to Tyreek puts the ball at the thirty five yard line, and just over a minute of play, they go to a running play to Chase Edmonds, who goes up the middle for twenty eight yards when a defense is gas and they're worried about getting beat up top and you know they've been getting ripped over and

over again, kind of in a hurry up system. There. As the Dolphins fourth quarter offense keeps going and going and going, all of a sudden, you send a surprise run play across their bow and it goes for twenty eight and it puts Miami in this great position where they can kind of milk the clock. They have the

two time outs in their pocket. They can play it to where they want to waste as much clock as they can and put themselves in position to best case scenario, score on one of the three plays and take away all the clock. For the Ravens, worst case scenario, take away all the clock, kick a field goal, and get to overtime. It's just going against the grain in a

way that's successful when you don't expect it. It's such a great aspect of this offense, and it wasn't the first and only, and it won't be the last instance of that. How about on the first touchdown drive of the game. They bring out this look and I said to Seth and Juice, hey, look, there's Trent Scherfield, there's

River Cracraft, Durham Smith, alec ingled. Looks like this might be a running play based upon the personnel, but nope, it's a quick slant to a drops like he's gonna hand the ball off or a play action and then quickly comes gathered and gets himself aligned and rips the slant to Trent Scherfield for twelve yards. Then they dial up eleven personnel and you wind up seeing Durham Smith

in the game. And I think it was Raheem most was the back and they go empty, which is nobody next to to a five offensive lineman five out in the pattern, and they motioned Tyreekill into the backfield, which gets your attention. Right there goes ten follow him and they fake a handoff inside to him to the right, and they fell the screen back to the left and here comes Liam Eikenberg pulling out with a good block from him and Trent Scherfield to spring Wattle for a touchdown.

The misdirection with this speed can create so many issues for the defense as you saw today as the quarterback went nuts, the receivers went nuts, and the Dolphins scored forty two points. So that was some cool sequencing there, And I love how much of the screen game we saw. Speaking of that, the touchdown play Tyreek got got involved

in the screen game. The ray Wins were you know, thin cornerback in this game down Kyle Fuller and Brandon Stevens with Marcus Peters making his first appearance since and Marlin Humphrey playing through a growing strange issue that he had this week in practice. It's just an opportunity and they take advantage of it. It seems like every chance

they get. And then also the last one here was we've seen them kind of do this play on third and short in the passing game where Tyreek motions and they kind of try to find their matchup and then he gets a running start at the snap and they throw that speed out to him. They did it twice now, once last week, once this week. They do it again on third and two, and it was a completion that to hit Tyreek on and Tyreek motions over to the

right and I'm thinking, here comes the speed out. He puts his foot in the ground, cross his face and two rips a slant into a triangle for like twelve yards for a first down conversion. So that's this The beauty of the design of this offense and tendency breakers is a big takeaway from me in this game. Takeaway

number four opportunities. You know, some mistakes and the defense that didn't play its best game today, but those are opportunities, right, So no win is perfect and this one was far from it, and that just means we have opportunities to clean some things up. We have to address him though. A hundred and three yard kickoff return to begin the game. That is a killer. That was so brutal from a you know, momentum perspective, What a way to come back

from even just that. A couple of I N T s you know, to throwing the ball and double coverage there a couple of times. It's just, you know, results weren't where you want in the context you provide can certainly give you a better feeling about it, but still at the end of the day, those are still mistakes.

There was the face mask right before the short yardage stop in the goal line look that we had where Melvin ingram I think it was Lamar was going to the ground maybe as Kenyan Drake didn't really have to do it. I understand in the heat of the moment you can't really control like where you know where things are going. But just it turned from a second and goal with a ten yard line to a first and goal with a two yard line. It's a big mistake.

And then there's a scramble throw off the mark to Waddle later in the game, the second pick later in the game. Uh, the block in the back on that ty Reek screen that turns a first and ten, like right on the fringe of the red zone into a second four, the tripping penalty on Chase Edmunds where he kind of just got rang over by Clais Campbell. Then they called the tripping penalty, but still that wiped a

first down off the board. Waddle had a drop that almost got picked off earlier in the game, didn't come back to the football, and a stick route where he's kind of just standing there and doesn't come back to the ball. So all those things give you opportunities to make corrections. And then how about the defense. I mean again, I don't want to I just want to address it, like wasn't Exhaming Howard's best game that that long touchdown off the off the top of a great release from

the receiver crossing over face for that touchdown. Uh. The tight ends kind of went off in this game. Mark Andrews, whether whoever was covering him, just kept on catching passes, the blitz packages and zero looks. Just the Ravens had answers for them and the Dolphins didn't until they did late in the game. Lamar Jackson on the run I mean twenty yards then goes for Mark Andrews or twenty eight yards down to the one yard line, then scores in the next play. Just chunk after chunk after chunk.

They gave up almost three hundred yards of offense in the first half. Lamar was eleven for thirteen with two ten and three touchdowns and six carries for thirty nine yards. Would add a seventy five yard touchdown run to that later on in the game. Uh, just was a rough game for them and they had I think it was in the first half eight plays of over ten yards. The Dolphins blitz Lamar Jackson ten of his thirteen dropbacks, only got one pressure on them and three touchdowns just

wasn't their day. We talked about the looks and the coverage and the Ravens having answers for it. The Dolphins finally get what they want and they send the pressure and the Ravens go back to that throw underneath the cushion, and the Dolphins defensive backs all drive downhill and you're thinking, here comes Exaving Howard for a pick six to tie this game, and he just didn't care of the catch. Like I, I don't think that we'll see many games

like that again from the Dolphins defense. You never know, but I just think that that was kind of an anomaly for the way they performed. But you have to acknowledge that you have to get out in front of it and hopefully get it correct and going forward. That was takeaway number four, just a bump in the road game for the defense. Opportunity though right the fifth takeaway. You got multiple ways to win for a football team,

and it's not over until it's over look. I talked about the defense having a rough game, but I want to bring it back and talk about the plays they did make, because at some point, you don't get a comeback unless all sides of the football make plays. Jalen Phillips had back to back plays where he's had a hard edge and forces a run to bubble back inside and that runs right into Christian Wilkins, who had a big game today as well. Zack Seeler or check that, sorry,

go back. He also forced a hold that wasn't called. The flag came out, but they picked it back up with an immediate pass rush win off the edge on a critical third down stop the Dolphins got. So you know, you can go a whole game without having much to say about it and then make a couple of plays and really get yourself on the right side of things there. I talked about Seieler and Wilkins in short yardage Landon

Roberts again, John Jenkins, Ray Kwon Davis. This Miami short yardage defense, I would put them up against anybody in football. It's been really good for a couple of years now. Eric Rowe coming in and stopping some plays late on on Mark Andrews, including a big third down stop short of the sticks, and then in coverage late in the game down the field when they're in field goal range. But if they get another first down, can probably run a lot more clock from there. So that's a big,

big time play. And then that's the last play of that three place sequence on the Justin Tucker field goal drive we talked about on the post game show. We felt me, Seth and o J like the Dolphins, we're gonna score every time we had it. But the Ravens must have felt that way too, because they were going

up and down the field. And so to have them go down the field quickly like in two or three plays right and get right into field goal range and then get Melvin ingram on a one yard tackle for loss, a toning for that earlier mistaken away two yard passed to Isaiah Likely where Brandon Jones is right there to block him down and put him to the ground, and then incomplete to Mark Andrews with Eric Rowan coverage on that deep ball. So the way they responded is the

big takeaway here. That's why I wanted to put those two takeaways four and five together the way I did. And this is all for not if you don't make those three plays, they're right at the end of the game and the Rave wins are able to eat clock and kick a late game winner. So you have multiple

ways to win football games. It's been a big key I've talked about all off season with a running game as an aspect of the offense, the passing game, your defense has multiple aspects, special teams, multiple ways to win games. The defense starts out like this. The special teams didn't have their best start either, but here comes the offense and the passing game really to pick it up and get you that big, big, big road victory Dolphins two.

No heading into Buffalo or Buffalo coming here heading into the Buffalo game two and oh as the Bills will play on Monday night against the Titans. Let's take our last break here. I'm gonna get to a few omissions I have that I put in the notes here at the end of the podcast, and they will probably be some more on Tuesday. I cannot wait to watch this tape. We'll put a bow on it next here on the Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you

by Nation. There was a couple of things postgame segments I want to add to the podcast. The play before the play was something we talked about all year last year, right, and also I want to talk about teaching tape. There was one play as far as teaching tape goes where Christian Wilkins was behind Lamar Jackson and he chased him down really the entire field, and I thought that was so impressive as far as teaching shape tape about how to retrace your steps and just consistently work and never

give up on a play. And that's kind of the embodiment of what this team did in this game. And I thought that was just fantastic. And then you know, on the review before the goal line stand when the Dolphins got that stop, there was a third down stop where Jenkins and Roberts both came up and made big sticks on that play to get the Dolphins to that fourth down and then eventually to get seven points off

the boards. That was the play before the play the third down stop on the goal line stand and Christian Wilkins busting his butt out there to go get Lamar Jackson and flag him down from behind. Really good stuff there. Let's go ahead and finish up here with a couple of other extra omissions on the podcast. Again, there's so much in this game, But how about the offensive line one sack all game. I'll give you more details on their performance in the All twenty two review, but I

thought they were pretty damn good in this game. Thomas Moristead, he died a big punt late. He pins them down the thirteen yard line and flips the field. Jason Sanders made all six p A t s And I mentioned the running game. How about the game they had? I mean the running backs were good in this game. Eleven for fifty one for Raheem Mostert, five for thirty three from Chase Edmonds. That's four point six and six point six. Then Ingold and two have both had sneaks of one

yard to move the sticks. I continue to be impressed by those two running backs. River craig Craft touchdown Cools by the way Washington States three. And how about Mike that ball in the back of the end zone man and the gritty off afterwards also and talked about after the game how it looked a lot better practicing this hotel room than it did on the game day field.

I love that humor there from Mike Gisicky. But just the skill to bring that thing down and get the feet down, the confidence for two to make that throw when the Ravens dropped eight into coverage, and again one of those spots where in the end zone eight and coverage like you have to rip that thing and be decisive with it to it, puts it up high where only his guy can go get it, and Mike pulled that thing down from over the top of the crossbar.

And then the coaching staff man, Mike McDaniel. What a day, What resolved? What a message for this team.

So next time you fill up to Chevron with tech Ron, find a station near you on the Chevron app. And after a six touchdown past day to a tongue of by Lois spoke to the media and so we do as we do here on the postgame show, we go to Big Seth our press conference. Consigliary, what did you think of QB one at the podium here? I mean, it's kind of who he is. This is the guy

that we know, and some people don't like that. They want him to be more ra ra and jump around and scream and and what have you. And they asked him about, you know, was he was his confidence building as the game went on. He said, he's always confident in his abilities. He's always confident his abilities and that's never been shaken. And you know, they talked about, well, you're pretty calm. He just kind of expects himself to

play well. He said that we've heard that truth. When he was in the fish tank, he talked about the throw that put him on the map right in college where he comes in as a true freshman and he comes in as freshman Beach Georgia for the national championship with that big throw and he says, go back and watch it. I'm the only guy who didn't celebrate maybe when I should have celebrated. It's just kind of the way that he you know, they said, that's how he

was raised, That's the way he was raised. He expects success. And I think that there's this quiet and calm confidence that we see from the coaches, well from coach McDaniel, that is starting to radiate and players are buying in and it's sure, it's sure helps when Tyreek Hill comes in and has her back like that and then performs like that and has your back on the field. But you know, he's got that c on his chest this year, and I don't you know, and that wasn't that wasn't

just given to him because he's the quarterback. He's earned that and he's certainly earned it today. But that's what stood out to me is that he didn't come out here and and try to act some way that he wasn't. You know, remember there was a lot of talk in training camp. He said, Hey, did you see that? It looked like money to me, And we're like, oh wow, we like this spicy toah, we like spicy toa. But that's you know, that's that's really not who he is.

This is who he is. And if he can act like that after a six touchdown performance, or he can act like that after a three interception performance, that tells me that he can he can line up and and play the next play. He can line up and play the next game. I don't think he's gonna get over confident going into the next game. Heck, I think he's got a lot to prove in the next game and he knows that. But man, oh man, it's just he's more and more starting to look like the guy that

we all want him to be. That's that sounds good to me. Yeah, man, it's it's that that side of maturity at such a young age to be able to, like you said, not get too high or too low after a game like that. I mean, we are running around the freaking hallways in this place, screaming like little girls, jumping around and showing people on Twitter how excited we are. And I got a rep Protec now me and him, it was just me and he was strutting in like Vince McMahon that Jeffrey has the big arms way, and

that's what Juice looked like. But Juice, so I wanted to ask you this because he didn't. He said he didn't know for a couple of snaps that Tyreek was out of the game. Was he just in that much was gonna drop a little strange one on you? Yeah? He must have been that laser focus, you know what I mean, He's just going through progressives and you know, but don't you want to know where ten is on every snap? Like, not only tell you the defense, does that's today, Yeah man, in a couple of great plays

with you know, Tyreek as a d coy. But yeah, man, that was that was really strange that he said that he didn't didn't know he was out and then next you know, he's got his streaking down the sideline, I guess for one touchdown and then another. So hey, that was that was one of more crazy things that her. And then he talks about, you know, big time players

make big time play with big time games. That's what I like to hear from my quarterback too, Because he said I think he was referring to Tyreek, but I'm referring to him right now. That's exactly what he did today. That's and Seth, you mentioned something I think off the air about the recalls. He was he kind of started getting into a breakdown of play and we just we love that so much, especially you know, you know I

love that stuff. But the second long ball to Tyreek, we talked about it in the open where that outside corner has like a ten yard cushion, I might just throw it to him now, like he's gotta come make a tackle and best case I get him down after seven or eight yards. Worst case he misses a tackle and it's out the gate. But no, that's not what happened. He he winds up throwing a gold ball to this cornerback who squats right there, and we're I'm thinking about

that play. I'm thinking about two was recall because on the pick, Cheetah ran a little curl route where he hooked up in front of that safety, and they get a similar look this time, and now they squad and he goes up over the top and it kind of goes back to not just to his recall, but coach McDaniel play sequencing and recognizing what the defense is doing

and adjusting to it. I just look at that play, like, man, if we can take what we learned from earlier in the game and apply it like that with these weapons, you know, you're not gonna score four, you two points every week, But man, I feel good about the offense and I'm doing stuff like that juice. Yeah, I mean the home run ability that we have is incredible. And I think that you know, Baltimore might have underplayed or

you know, underestimated to his arm and arm strength. You know, like it seems like when you're doing that squad, the one that the one we're talking about. The first one was there playing in O inside outside on him and the safety squad to both them squad at Tyreka in the heck of a route. He's got to work back some more to the football. Um. But same time, though, you can say there's going to play a lot of

attention to what Tyrek was doing. Now, who was the corner that played for Philadelphia in the preseason that was squatting as well getting blown by You think, you look at that film, you say, there's no way I'm gonna squad on this guy. I'm gonna get anything underneath because if I if I don't get out of this backpedal like right now and run, it's over. And it was

over a couple of times out there. I've never I mean I've never seen anybody in the Dolphin uniform, and I mean the last twenty years running wide open like that, just running by people, man, because we haven't had that guy. We got that guy now, man, just a whole lot of them right there. That mean there's no there are no say about that. Well, he's a different type of animal and they both playing completely different games today. Man,

it was in both so affective. It was. You know, we talked about this and we said it a long time ago. Tyrek's numbers might not tell you what what an impact is having, but look at Waddles numbers with today it does just to stop laughing, said one. I know, I know today, but the impact that Waddle was able to have because of Tyreek been on the field was incredible to day and Waddle he took advantage of the two.

Waddle got a few more one on one opportunities. Then with Tyreek went out, you saw a wild to get a lot more attention, you know. So that's why you have to We talked about defense picking their poison. You're gonna double one and lead the other one one on one or vice versa. So these guys are going out there, especially that second half winning and whatever the one on one wasn't making some tough catches and miss go back to your boy to he fits some balls in there

to day. I mean, he fits some some incredible balls. And I think the best balls one that was dropped when he when he looked up look wide would have been But that's okay, that's okay. You know, those two guys are collected there, each closing in on three ards receiving in two games. So just know that. And let me say this. I know we gotta go to break soon, but I wrote this. I wrote this down before we even got here. And I'm not saying that to like,

you know, pat myself on the back. But I was looking through the press release that the Dolphins communications team put together, and they have a stat best QB win percentage in the first career stat starts right since the top five guys Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes to Deshaun Watson, Josh Allen, Okay two us sitting there at third with fourteen and eight. He's now fifteen and eight. But yet he's been criticized. No player has taken more heat than

this guy. And look at those other guys. Some of those guys are talking about, you know, Hall of Fame careers and he's winning. Just what's more important as a starting quarterback than you win loss record? Nothing at all, Nothing at all. I'm just tired of the yeah, but about Look, there are things that he needs to continuously improve upon. Every player does, and I know that. You know, some people sat there and washed Herbert and you know, he's electrifying with some of the throws that he makes

and what have you even in a loss. I know that there's been some sports writers around the country that have said, oh, certain teams have dodged bullet The guy keeps winning, he's finding a way to win, his team's rallying around him. He threw four plus yards and six touchdowns. I mean, I don't know what else you want from

the guy that that's very well said. I'll finish up with this because I just don't want to hear any more the things that he can't do that he did today, Like and we'll talk about consistency, which is obviously the most important thing. You have to do it week after week in this league otherwise you're you're exactly you're an also ran. But I mean, I just don't want to hear any more that he can't throw deep, that he can't you know, spin out of a free rusher. Like

he's done these things. It might not be like every dang snap, but he's done it, like, not consistently, but enough times where you can say he has that in his game. I even tweeted before the game was you know, got back into Dolphin's favor that despite the two picks, he's showing some flashes today and Juice mentioned the ball into that triangle where he moved the defender with his

eyes and came back to it. You talk about the kind of moxie to win these games late like this, like can we just keep him on the same plane as everybody else with the same level of evaluation where it's like, well, he made some great plays, had some down stuff, but still a pretty good game. That's what I hope. I don't expect it, like you said, Seth, but that was a fun segment talking about QB one there. We have a lot more to come your guys way. We still have to hear from head coach Mike McDaniel.

That's the first time we ever had the quarterback before the coach on the show here which we throw sick touchdown passes kind of how it goes. We'll do that next plus plenty plenty more. I know Juice has some plays he wants to talk about. Dolphins post game is driven by gun through Mazda for car buying done your way, You've got to get to gun through Mazda again. The final score from Baltimore Dolphins forty two, Ravens thirty eight.
