Week 8 Recap - 5 Takeaways from Dolphins 31-27 Win Over the Lions

me check your pulse. If not firm, what is up? Dolphins? And welcome to the Drivetime podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins Podcast Network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's

it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, a sun Day night recap show, we've reached the almost midway point of the season and it's a fifth Miami Dolphins victory when win win win, win win, saying that, Mommy, that's right, A second straight win, a fifth on the season, the second fourteen point comeback on the road this season. We're gonna recap all of that.

A busy show with audio from Mike McDaniel to a tungle by low A Tyreek Hill, the five Takeaways, Crazy Stats, and a segment with the game balls from the post game show on five six w q A M with Me, Seth and O J. McDuffie from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drive

Time Podcast. What a football game it was. This is not going your way early, a lot of self inflicted errors with the Miami Dolphins, but it gets corrected and your Miami Dolphins play arguably their most complementary half of football all season long, and it produces a big win on the road to get to five and three. In fact, the last time Miami was five and three through eight games was well, it was, And I double checked on that because at first I thought, wow, it's wait a minute,

let me check the most recent seasons. That's right after staring one in three in two thousand and twenty, Dolphins won a few games in a row to get to six and three. I believe it was before the loss in Denver, but either way, it's a nice spot to be in after the first two quarters of the season. The five and three start is the best start by a Dolphins rookie head coach since Dave Wanstead went six

and two back in two thousand. Let's go ahead and get some stats and some really cool records and numbers. Now for an offense that found it's stride on Sunday and the thirty one win over the Detroit Lions. I have a ton of audio I want to play on this podcast as well. I'll do my best to keep the episode from getting way too long, but no promises, because there was so much good stuff from coach McDaniel,

from QB one from Cheetah. But how about the accomplishments of those two, the latter two as well as the penguin. By the way, I mentioned the second road win after trailing by fourteen points. The last time the Dolphins did that was nineteen nine six. For Twah, it's the first time a Dolphins quarterback has thrown for three hundred and fifty plus yards, three plus passing touchdowns, zero interceptions while

completing at least eight of his passes. I'm not sure if you guys knew this, but we had a really good quarterback here for seventeen years once as outrageous production. Only quarterback to ever do in team history. For Tyreeke and Jalen, they broke the record for most receiving yards by a pair of teammates through the first eight games of a season. They are combined right now at sixteen hundred and eighty eight receiving yards. Out of this world.

Tyreek had a hundred forty two receiving yards in the first half. That was the most by a Dolphins players since at least two thousand The next closes was Patrick cob Back in two thousand eight with one thirty three. He also went over Tyreek a hundred de receiving yards. It's the fourth time this year, which ties Mark Dooper's club record set in that Big Time illustrious four season. He Hill and Waddle have gone over a hundred yards in the three and three of the same games this

year Baltimore, Minnesota, and now Detroit. Defensively, it's the second straight week that Miami held an opposing offense off the scoreboard in the second half. The last time that happened and wins over the Jets and Bengals in December of that season. The sixties seven yards by the Lions in the second half was their lowest output in a second half second half since twenty nineteen, So Miami checked all

the boxes that second half. They found the end zone on offense, they got the stops on defense, they found the plays on special teams. Let's go ahead and give you the game stats, as we do weekly here on the Sunday Night Recap podcast. Twenty seven first downs for your Miami Dolphins, twenty two for the Lions. The Dolphins are eight of twelve on third downs. The lines were four of nine. Miami converted their loan fourth down attempt

the first drive of the game. The Lions went one for two on four thounds, including the essentially game ceiling drive there at the end, before Miami got into victory formation after getting a couple of first downs of their own. On the other side, the Dolphins post four hundred and seventy six yards of offense to Detroit's three three three sixty nine of Miami's came through the air one oh seven on the ground. For the lines, it was three eleven and eighty two. Miami did out snap Detroit sixty

four to fifty seven. The Dolphins had one turnover. The Lions did not have any turnovers. Miami took two sacks and had one sack on Jared Goff of their own. Seven penalties for fifty five yards four the Miami Dolphins and six for thirty for the Lions. The Dolphins possessed football for thirty four minutes and twenty two seconds. We have a lot more stats to get to, which we will do that here in the takeaways, starting with takeaway number one, and that's the takeaway number one. How good

was two a tongue of Byaloa on this day? I mean, there are several examples of all the stuff that you look at on tape that made you'll fall in love with the prospect back when he was in college. The ability to manipulate the spot and the drop point to create advantageous throwing lanes for himself. The accuracy pushing the ball into tight windows, throwing away from leverage, moving the defense with his eyes, his feet, the body position, the hips,

all of that stuff. So the throw on the back shoulder to Waddle, it was in the third quarter where Waddle runs like a little glance or slant route and he puts the ball away from the linebacker, but also at the same time settles Waddle into a gap so he doesn't run into a hit from the safety. It was just perfect, perfect location. How about the throw to Waddle in the end zone where he just threw that thing through a trio of defenders and there's Jalen Waddle

there for the catch on the touchdown. The later pass on the fade, the slot fade to Waddle, I mean that thing. It kept Wattle in such stride that he scored from twenty eight yards in the twenties something in the twenties, I'll look it up real quick, but on that plane he could have scored from pretty much yards because of how perfectly located that football was. Twenty nine

yard touchdown past to Waddle. But because that ball was on top of the defensive back who Waddle I mean, got the best of him right away on that play. But because the ball was where it was, it was so not easy but way easier for Waddle to make the run under I didn't have to contest with coming back to the football contest over a lion's defender's hand.

Just a perfect location on that slot fade, and that's where you want catch the ball one hitch, throw it up to the corner of the end zone and let your speed receiver go and get it the throw where Tyreek is all alone and to uncorks it for forty was it forty two yards on the play with a stellar contested catch from Tyreek Hill, just to see him down there. No, you have the man coverage so you can throw him back away from the defense. Really good

location on that one. Conversions on third down all day long, third and fourteen, third and six, the way he replaced the blizz with the football once again on a third and six conversion to Jalen Waddle. There was an example where he threw a little slant route to Tyreek Hill where he looked off to the flat and you saw the defense flow that way, and then he quickly whips back to the middle and throws the ball back into

the middle of the field for a big completion. Just continuously hit big rows all game long, including a touchdown pass to Mike Gasicki and a third down throw to Tyreek Killed that really impressed head coach Mike McDaniel. The touchdown to Mike gasecki um because that was the first time we've ever hit that route on that concept and you rarely ever see it, and it's something that was

number four in the progression that he progressed through very quickly. UM. There was the first long throw on third down, UM to Tyreeke, you know where he's knows that we're going to be hot there in zero UM, and he buys as much time as he can in the pocket and then throws UM a ball that's not easy to throw to a really fast guy. UM. And that and stood out. UM. He had a lot of plays that was very very happy with UM. That was a game that we all know he's capable of UM, but it was his UM.

He was relentless during the game, was worrying about the right stuff. I didn't see him press and make forced decisions. He took what was there UM and protected the ball while being aggressive. That last comment there certainly speaks to two stats we talked about with the three fifty plus passing yards three touchdown snow picks. To be aggressive but also protect the football. You're gonna be tough to beat.

When you can do that to a did that on this day, on a day where, by the way, he completes nine of ten passes on third downs, we converted eight of those. Of his eleven attempts on third down, one being a sixteen or eighteen yards scramble, I should say, but on third down eight conversions, nine of ten passing one thirty nine yards, two touchdown passes and eighteen yards scramble and averaged eight point nine yards to go on those third down attempts. So that is getting the job done, big, big,

big time. Let's go ahead and hear from QB one on what he thought made the team successful in offense. I think Mike did a great job calling calling place today. He put us in a really good position to get yards after catch on on plays trying to move move the spot for the defenders, um d lineman too, you know, getting back there. And I think for as much as we passed with what maybe two sacks that that we had, I mean, that's that's a really good job up front.

I think, Um, you know a lot of things uh married with with you know, routes, action passes with within the run game. So you know, I think we we felt really comfortable, Um, you know after moving the ball the first first series, you know, second series, started feeling really comfortable, you know, just going with with the game plan.

So he finishes this day of thirty six an eighty two passing yards, three touchdowns, doesn't turn the ball over, no dropped picks either, and had a one thirty eight point seven passer rating on the season to one thirty of one eight six. That's seventy completion for one thousand, six hundred seventy eight yards. That's nine point oh two yards per pass attempt, twelve touchdowns, three interceptions, and a

one twelve point seven passer rating. Gosh darn. Let's go ahead and take our first break here and come back with takeaways two through five that's coming your way next. On the Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation Sunday night recap potentially Monday morning, depending on when you get to this podcast, either during the Packers and Bill's game at some point or on

your Monday morning commute. We appreciate you checking us out for your first Dolphins listen of the day here on the Drivetime Podcast, takeaway number two from Miami's thirty one to twenty seven victory on the road in Detroit is, if takeaway number one is about number one, the number two is about number ten and seventeen. It's a lot of numbers, but a cheetah and a Penguin. How good

are these guys for Jalen. It started early on that fourth down conversion on the opening drive, which when that when they got to that fourth and short after Tyreek had the great play before the play on the screen to get I think it was ten yards on third and fourteen. I'm like, you're going for this right here because you're in in the kind of no man's land part of the field, can't really punt. I only want

to kick a field goal. And they go to one of the most reliable, surehanded guys in Jelyn Waddle, and on that play, I was so impressed with just the application of skills to put himself in position to make that play. And this is what this is what both of these guys do time and time again that you don't see when you're just watching the game on TV. If you want to go back and watch the tape and break it down, you'll see it because they are two of the very best at this in the game.

With running their routes at every level of the route. Number one the release, it's so hard to get jams and these guys, especially with all the motions, the bunches, the stacks and the fact that they're really dang good in the release package. He just it's tough to get hands on him. And then the way he attacked this particular play inside leverage means the cornerback is walling off inside route, so he is ready to cut you off on the inside and then break across your face to

make a play on the outside. And Jalen's running a speed out, which is a five yard out route, and so that's a tough leverage to run that route against. And what does Jalen do But he releases to put that cornerback back on his heels, so he's like protecting against that inside leverage, basically being threatened that he might get turned around to run that inside part of the field.

Then the way Jalen puts his right foot in the ground and leans into the top of the route, it just really keeps that defender on his hills, not on his toes, because then when he snaps the route off at the top of the stem, he is then working from a position of defense opposed to an attacking position, and that allows him to create all that separation at the top of the route. Really text book stuff there

from Jalen Waddle. The slot fade where he wins immediately and if you don't get hands on him on that look against man coverage without any safety help. We talked about the man cover just lines defense was gonna play in this game and the podcast on Thursday right one of the more man heavy defenses in the NFL per NFL True Media. We saw it on that play no safety help. Jalen Waddle one on one against your slot cornerback,

I like Waddle against anybody in the NFL. On that he wins immediately, stacks Hi gets on top and never had a chance from their perfect throw, big catch twenty nine yard touchdown play. How about the catch off his frame on the one ball that I would probably say to maybe didn't throw his his best or perfectly like he was for most of this game. Wattle has a

catch hide away off his frame. All he does is go up and secures it, pulls it back into his body, makes a big time catch to move the chains once again. Electric electric stuff. And speaking of electricity, how about the Cheetah man. I love watching him play with o J McDuffie because o J is just. I've never seen o J so at a loss for words about a player and obviously a receiver that O J loves to to

evaluate and talk about. Just the way Tyreek competes and makes you know, every one of them seemingly on the contested catches, he pulled them all down like it doesn't matter.

He's just gonna catch everything. The fear he strikes in the defense, how many of those open shots you know in the intermediate middle portion of the field is just Tyreek pushing up with lightning fast speed runs the defensive back or the safety or whoever might be off of their landmark and then just shows his numbers back to the quarterback for four or five six yards of separation twelve eighteen yards off the football. I've never seen anything like it. It's awesome to watch. The way he attacks

everything is so special. Coach had mentioned in this summer that Tyreek raises the standard of the entire football team by the way he goes about things, which is why I loved it when Tyreek was asked after the game about this game and what was the first thing to

talk about some corrections they can make. Yeah, where I feel like we can be light years better, you know, and and stars with me, you know, being the leader of this you know, young receiver group, you know, preaching to the guys that we gotta get in out of the hottle faster. You know, we gotta do the smaller

things right. You know, we all want to make players, we all want to you know, be in the spotlight, you know, but we gotta we gotta make sure that we do you know, the small things by get not getting out of getting out of the hotel, you know, making sure that we're said so too. It can go through all of his reads. So once we get it, get like get that clear, you know, we start working on all those small things, I feel like we will

be exactly where we want to be. Let's go back to coach to hear what he had to say about Tyreek and Jalen and the team effort involved to get them their production. A lot goes into their production. They work their tail off. They know how much they mean to this team. But it's also a collection of individuals um working with them, um to. You know, every person on our team knows that they can score on every touch.

So the stuff that we have to do up front, some of the stuff that the other eligibles have to do, UM it is a full commitment for their success because they are so dangerous with the ball in their hands. It's something we try to play to UM but as a full commitment by all players on the offense. And you know, they get excited when their stats are high because they know how much they have contributed to that UM.

And we had a bunch of you know, key plays from Mikeasecki, Trent Sherfield, UM, you know Raheem mostert Um and then you know the play that to A had today that that's a if we can get that every week, that's a winning formula. That's that is tough to stop. Tyreek finishes the game with twelve catches on fourteen targets for a buck eight eight and Wattle finishes eight catches on nine targets for one oh six and two touchdowns.

So combined, twenty three pass targets twenty catches that's absurd, and and two d and ninety four yards that is in two touchdowns. Absolutely unreal. I cannot wait to see what they do next. Takeaway number three, how good was the defense in that second half? We'll watch the tape and give you a more in depth breakdown on the Tuesday Draft Time podcast. But my goodness, sixty seven yards, no points, and they were so close so many times to getting to Jared Goff. They did get the one sack.

It was a big one. We were so close to getting to it before the ball came out. Phillips og ball a couple of times right in there that right or left Paul right around the football. I kept thinking, we're gonna get a trip sack. I was telling Seth and o j all day, it's coming, it's comming, it's coming. It never did, but they kept getting the stops, and you know it didn't. They stood their ground. That's all that mattered. Made key stops and key moments. Zack Seeler

was absolutely on one in this game. They just couldn't block him for large large periods of this game. He batted passes, got that sack, stacked up the runs in that game. Very very impressive. I mentioned being so close. Phillips just felt like he was an inch away so often. His motor, his retrace on screens and run plays and

run defense in general. The way he can fight inside of a guy, get back outside once they bubble, the back does around his outside just he can defend multiple gaps from that position, which is so valuable to have on that edge position when he's not condensing inside and playing the multiple roles that he does, so he's very, very,

very valuable. How about kator Co who's tackling and just overall effort, He's he's really good player man, pretty good in coverage, but I thought his tackling was exceptional in this game once again, and they mix it up for each opponent. We saw a handful of one safety looks. I'll be curious to get a closer look at this tape, but they certainly know how to play the right hand to get to the winner circle. Great job of adjusting

and tightening up in the second half. Let's go ahead and hear what head coach Mike McDaniel had to say about the second half effort of his defense. There's subtle adjustments and there's also UM guys making plays. Uh the pass rush cut. Uh. The pass rush got involved a little bit more in the second half. Um, we got some stops, but really it's a you know, it's one of those things where if you get guys to keep playing, you can you can survive and uh a barrage of jabs. Um,

you know, to the chin. Uh, keep your keep your head down and just keep chopping wood. Um and eventually, you know, our our style of play will come out. So UM, there's there was some adjustments, yes, but more than anything, Uh, you know, we have a lot of prideful guys on that side of the ball, um, players and coaches included, and um, they they projected their frustration in the appropriate manner. Well Man Coach's answer was awesome. I love the way he talks about both successes and

failures and adversity and how to overcome it. Really really inspiring stuff there from Mike McDaniel. Takeaway number four. We have to address with the mistakes that plugged us in this game, the issues in terms of penalties, some early early woes on defense that just lion square ring on those first three possessions, in a couple of field goals,

of fake punt that they executed on. It's never a perfect game, right, those don't exist, But I want to focus on the penalties because those seem like one of the quickest ways we can button things up, clean things up, and really take our game to another level here as the Miami Dolphins. Uh, coach kind of felt the same way.

I felt like in terms of things that you can control the Dolphins, as he said in this press conference answer, I'm gonna play the part right after that that the Dolphins committed eight penalties in the first half that were declined and they were charging the game with seven penalties

for fifty five yards that were accepted and assessed. I was I was wondering during the game if there was an emphasis across the league or whatever the case may be on neutral zone alignment, and let's go ahead and go to coach because he addressed that and the fact that penalties are way too high still even in a victory. Well, there's certain controllables and the ones that really irritate me. We knew coming into the game, UM, that that this uh that there has we have to be um mindful

of our pretty snap alignment. Just knowing that, UM, you know we've been uh you know people are looking to throw penalties on that. UM I think around the league in general. And so we went in making that a point and it didn't get done. UM. Those one those type of things are controllable. UM. Then you look at you know, where, where and what type of penalties are happening. UM, you know, same thing that we did. I think, uh it was the Minnesota game. We had a ton and

we were able to tighten it up against Pittsburgh. Um, you know, you just have to make a point of emphasis, take each penalty individually and coach off of it so that we can um improve, not put ourselves in such tough spots on both sides of the ball unnecessarily. Yeah, those were a killer for for big periods of the game. They seem to happen with the worst moments to you gotta get it fixed. But you're always happy to win and learn those lessons opposed to losing and getting those lessons.

And we finish up here with number five takeaway number five, the unsungs and miscellaneous. We don't give enough love on these Sunday shows to the offensive line because I have to see the tape first before I can give you individual breakdowns, you know, player by player. But golly, they were good. I can tell you right now. It was good because I saw the impact of those clean pockets. How much time to have had on key downs when they weren't rushing, when they were bringing the blitz just

to get through things. To Ron Armstead, both in space as a blocker locking down that left side. Didn't really hear much of Aidan Hutchinson's name today. He was fantastic as always. Liam Eichenberg I thought was putting together another really good game before he got injured and taking off on a car. Get well, student number seventy four, We're

thinking about you. Connor Williams. Just continue to be so impressed by the way he gets movement in the running game but also squats and holds that anchor in the middle of the past protection. Rob Hunt plenty of movement off that right side in the running game for Raheem Moster in this game as well, and then again, you know, pass protection on the right side I thought was dang good.

And speaking of that brand Shell right there alongside Rob Hunt making some key blocks, pushing the pushing the defensive line and getting some good pass protection. You know, to address this in his press conference talking about the different angles and launch points for where they kind of move him in terms of the pocket and create different uh landmarks for the quarterback to get to with his dropbacks. And you know, obviously some of that boot action helps

with that. The execution certainly helps that. But Mike McDaniel doing a great job in this offensive staff of scheming up some plays that get to a you know, on the move a little bit changing the vision point I should say that the landmark of the quarterback to ultimately change the vision of those pass rushers. Obviously all that jet sweep stuff that kind of keeps them second guessing

where their first step should be. It just all kind of works together to create better pockets to get some space in the running game, which, by the way, where he most dirt average four point six yards per rush once again, fourteen for sixty four. Those five yard runs on the first down, man, they're so valuable or even better the eight nine yard runs that give us those

fun second and short looks. But those five yard run is where he's getting hit or contacted, you know, after a yard or two or three, and he lunges forward for an extra couple of yards, So so crucial. He's rolling the speed, looks good, surfing the wave and those outside zone runs. Big fan of what Raheem's doing. Thomas Morstead nailed his one punt in a big spot with really good coverage by key on crossing thirty eight yard kick. Uh when a tackle immediately with no return to down

them with the eleven yard line. We needed a big field flip there. Mike a Sicky another big touchdown catch. Trent Sherfield some big catches and a great tackle on the one kickoff return the lines had he gets the ball carrier down with the fifteen yard line and also give him the touchdown. Two for should have been two for twenty six and a score whatever. Jason Sanders hits all four extra points and his loan field goal a forty five yard I thought Duke Riley made some nice

places in that linebacker position. Christian Wilkins had that big tackle for lost late in the game. Let's go ahead and given up for the unsungs in this game. Let's also get to our last break on the other side. Here, we'll play the play. Before the play, we'll do the teaching tape, and stay tuned after the outro for a segment on postgame show on five sixty w q AM. That's all next Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought

to you by AutoNation. Final segment on a victory Monday or Sunday night, depending on when you download this edition of the Drivetime Podcast. I am your host, Travis Wingfield. Dolphins win in Detroit for their second straight victory, their fifth of the season to get to five and three. Chicago Bears at Soldier Field next week, one o'clock Sunday,

November six, the next Miami Dolphins game. Let's go ahead and do our play before the play and the teaching tape before we get out of here, and we're gonna play a segment for you guys in the post game show with me, Seth and Juice on five sixty w q AM down here in Miami. And the play before the play was the play where cater Cohu shoots in and makes a tackle for loss on a running play running wide where the Lions had kind of gained the edge on that play it looked like until number one

Jalen Phillips came in and dented the edge. Jerome Baker comes downhill and beats a block of his own, and then kator Co who shoots in and cuts the thing

down for a loss on the play. If a Lions get positive yardage, if they get no game there, who knows how much that changes the play call because that sets up a third down and long where Zach Seeler comes in and gets a huge sack to get the Lions offense off the field, so kator Cohu, Jerome Baker, Jalen Phillips, the entire Dolphins defense makes a big play on second down to set up a big play on third down. There was a few options for this in this game, and I'm going with this one because the

defense needed to stop and they got it. My teaching tape was the entire first touchdown to Jalen Wandle. This play in general was so awesome because the Lions had a been of a hybrid coverage look on where you had man on one sides on the other side and on the man side. We had Tyreek in the backfield and Trent Sherfield the only receiver to that side of the formation. And Trent Scherfield runs a little hook up

route which draws two lines defenders. Tyreek Hill runs to the flat which draws of course, of course, a defender comes down to take number ten and from the other side of the formation, afforded by great past protection from the Dolphins offensive line and a great job surveying all his progressions and reads from to a tongue of byloa, here comes Jalen Waddle from the zone side of the formation all the way over into the opening into space where he's all alone for a room service touchdown because

of great play design, because of great patience from the quarterback and great protection from the offensive line, a good throw and a good catch to get yourself in the end zone on the board to cut the lead at that time down to fourteen seven. That was a teaching tape because across the board, the design, protection, quarterback play, receiver play was all so very good. That's probably gonna be a lot more of this on the Tuesday podcast, the All twenty two Breakdown the Stats. Cannot wait for

that episode. Those are very fun to do after games like this, and I can't wait to do it to bring you guys another edition here of the Drift Time podcast. In the meantime, it's gonna be my time again.

PC is the official Miami Dolphins Radio Networks where Dolphins fans lived make more good in the all new Sportage X Pro with multi terrain, all will drive and available three SI the degree surround view monitor. No mission is too small to take on. A Dolphins victory means it's back our favorite segment of the show, game Balls Baby. It's time for Travis seven O J McDuffie to hand out their game balls on the Miami Dolphins Radio Network, and it's time to hand out some

game balls for the second straight week. The Dolphins on the two game winning streak. The ball was flying all over the field today in Miami's thirty one seven victory, and I throw it now to our wide receiver and house here, Oh j McDuffie, Juice, who gets your game ball today? Man? Man, Chakra Shakra Shakra? Man? You know what you said it best though, Man, two weeks in a row, we're giving out game balls. That's always important. You know, we only give out game balls on wins,

Man and row. Wins are the hardest ones to come by. But somebody that shows up every single game home or away is my man, Tyreek Hill. I gotta give to Tyreek Man fourteen targets, but twelve least since hight Yards didn't getting the end zone, but kept the chains moving all day long and was putting pressure on teams like the whole on Detroit Lions the whole time. Now, ain't that look hundred eighty eight yards Big Seth and Travis Dude, this dude is going over a hundred six yards four times,

at least four times this year. You know we've got one guy, and I think in Dolphin history that's going over a hundred sixty multiple times in one year maybe in his career, and Tyreek's done in four games, you know, So I like, I love the fact that we've got a guy like that, man that is a go to guy. But if you look out there, man, we feed off of Tyreek. Jason Waddle fees off Tyreek, two of fees and counsel on Tyreek. So Tyreek once again going out

there doing he does big time wide receiver. The guy that we you know, we we we knew was the difference maker. It's gonna be the guy that could you know, to take us over the top in terms of as an offensive team. We gave up a lot for him, but we're getting all that in return right now. So my my game ball goes to Tyreek Hill all day, every day. They could give him the game ball every single week. He's been that kind of player for us so far. Big seth options are a plenty today. What

do you got for your game? Well, I'm gonna stay on this side of the ball. Shaun Wooden somewhere is screaming about offensive bias, but I'm sorry, Woody. Today is the game for offensive bias. And the only reason I can give a game ball to this guy is because Jews already gave one the Tyreek Hill, but Jalen Waddle the Penguin. Okay, they threw it to him nine times, he caught eight of him fellas for a hundred and six yards two touchdowns. This is his fourth game over

a hundred yards. It's the second time he's over two touchdowns. He's got seven hundred twenty seven yards and five touchdowns on the season. If we didn't have Tyreek Hill doing things that nobody's done in the history of this game. The cheat code is that what the young guys say. If you didn't have the cheat code on the other side, we would be raving about a Pro Bowl performance in

the first half of the season by Jalen Waddle. And boy, Jalen Waddle never shines more than he does when his college quarter act is the one throwing it to him. Because two of the Wattle is really nice. And let's talk about that third down play twenty nine yards out, an amazing pass by tah But juice, you thought that it might have been overthrown. You can't overthrow Jalen Waddle or Tyreek Hill. He runs under the thing and it looks like they were playing seven on seven out there.

An incredible performance by Jalen Waddle to compliment an incredible performance by your game ball recipient Tyreek Hill. Two touchdowns and one horrible wattle dance not by him because he's he's so good at that dance that other teams are trying to copy it and they're embarrassing themselves. But talk about embarrassing themselves, go find us on Twitter. Myself and Travis gave our attempt at the wattle. The spin was pretty good. There was outstanding. Yeah, well I appreciate that.

To spin we got and and if anybody can approve the spin, it is this man right here. My game ball goes to Jalen wat Well, we're gonna give the battle two receivers. It probably has to mean the third one is gonna go to a quarterback, and you guys know, Travis Wingo Valo va loa, you're gonna get it. I don't know. I just I almost said, I don't know. I almost lost it there with the game ball goes to to you heard my man o j say, already a perfect game. I mean I once saw a Marrit's

pitcher throw a perfect game. That was pretty cool. That was about as good as we saw today from two a Tonga Valoa. I have a lot of plays to break down right here. The downfield shots on time, on target, the slot fade to Waddle that kept him at high speed, which by the way, that four three speeds only were getting that touchdown. So good on Waddle for that as well. He would have scored from ninety nine yards away. He would have scored from nine nine yards away. That's how

easily the bucket. He's running a distance guy though I don't know his eyes. With his body, look to the flat, create space over the middle, rip that thing in there, that layer and throw a gasicki for the touchdown over the linebacker, under the safety coming all the way across the field and his reeds. Thing of beauty. The design on that first Waddle touchdown, you have man on one side of the field, zone on the other side of

the field. They go stick flat to sherfield tyreek that pulls a couple of guys up wall runs the over out over the top of that wide open to a season great protection, throws it on the money for a touchdown, throwing against leverage to put his receivers in a spot not run him into big hits. He scrambled for eighteen yards on a third and sixteen or a third and six. I should say replaces the blitz with the football. He blitz me on the front side and with the football,

but right behind you for easy completions. The field of confidence. He goes twenty nine for thirty six two yards, three touchdowns, one thirty eight points. I've been passer rating on third down nine for ten hundred and thirty nine yards to tds eighteen rushing. Say that again for ten one thirty nine, eight conversions out of ten, including an eighteen yard perfect pass rating. Man, that's that's how the hell did they calculate.

So it's not quite But I looked at if they had given him that fourth touchdown, and I say give him if if there had been a challenge there, because he's scored, go back and watch it. I don't care. There's no question Shurefield scored. That means two. It gets one extra yard, and he gets an extra touchdown, would put him at one point oh three. So still not a perfect rating, but perfect I don't know, you know, what I can take that in perfect week after week

after week. He is now nineteen and eight as the starting last quarterback, eleven and two in his last thirteen starts. One of those he only played a quarter in a half. So to a tongue of Valoa, he certainly looks like he has arrived. We have arrived at our last break. Here game balls to a tongue of Bylowa Jalen Waddle, Tyreek Hill is easy as you like. Dolphins post game is driven by gun through Volkswagen. For car buying done, you're what You've got to get to gun through Volkswagen again.

The final score from Detroit Dolphins thirty one lines twenty seven. You're listening to the fifth quarter postgame show, brought to you by the Palm Beaches
