Pass out of this thing. Drive Time with Travis Winfield begins. Now let me check your pulse. If none of them, what is up? Dolphans And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins podcast Network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's it going? Everybody? I am your host, Travis Winfield, And on today show, the Dolphins win again, win win. It is three straight victories. It's the second
streak of three wins this season. It's the second six and three starts since two thousand two, and we're talking about all of it right here on the Drivetime Podcast. We'll hear from Mike McDaniel to a tungle by loa and the key moments, will break down the absurdity that is Tyreek Hill, and a heck of a lot more in our five takeaways, and we'll tell you about some teaching tape and the play before the play from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This
is the Drive Time Podcast. We start the show off here on the Sunday Night recap as we do each week, talking about some statistics, and we'll do it from the game perspective. First, pretty even across the board here except for a couple of key categories. The teams are close and first down Chicago twenty three, Miami twenty the Bears to convert ten of sixteen third downs to Miami's five of ten. Dolphins oh for two. On fourth down Bears one for two. And here's where the big discrepancy comes from.
Dolphins three d and seventy nine yards Chicago three eight. But Miami does that on fifty three plays compared to Chicago seventies from Miami's offense. Just rolling right now in terms of the yards per play statistic, three oh two of that through the air from Miami, seventy seven on the ground for the Bears, it was tilted the other direction. One sixteen through the air and two fifty two on the ground. There's no takeaways in this game. The Dolphins
register to sacks and don't allow any sacks. And how about this Miami three penalties for thirty eight yards, getting that cleaned up from the last couple of weeks Chicago four for nine two two of those big yards penalties coming from d p i s on Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle. More on that in a moment. And the Bears possessed the ball for nearly thirty five minutes, the Dolphins for just a bit over twenty five minutes. And takeaway number one from this game? Where else do you
go to besides the quarterback too? Is in fact him and he continues to look the part twenty one for thirty three to passing yards. That's another day over ten yards per pass for two a tungle by Lowa, three touchdown strikes that gives him a passer rating on the day of one thirty five point seven. He's the first Dolphins quarterback, according to CBS Sports, to have back to back games with three hundred passing yards, three touchdowns and
no turnovers, first ever had some good quarterbacks here. By the way, he finishes the day six of seven on third down passing with a hundred nine yards and a touchdown pass and five conversions on those seven attempts. Remember, he entered play with a one forty two point seven passer rating on third down, which the stat going back to when they began tracking that stat by quarter and having specific stats for the passer rating, it's the highest ever on third down since that time. His QBR on
the day was eighty one point two. That's his fourth game this year with a better than eight qb R and by the way, one hundred is the max, zero is the minimum, fifty is league average. Four of his performances out of the seven starts or six starts, I should say check that two three, four seven stars, yeah, seven stars. Uh. Four of those seven games with the eighty or better QBR, two of them over ninety. He's the only quarterback to have four games over an eight
q b R and he didn't play two games. He's also currently leading the NFL at seventy nine point seven qb are. The next closest is Patrick Mahomes at seventy six point seven. Before we get more here, let's go ahead and hear from coach Mike McDaniel on the play of his quarterback and what he's shown from that first team meeting back on April four until now week number nine seven months of growth. Coach has been very impressed by his quarterback. To a dougle by Loland, it's really um.
It's as the growth UM really since we started, I think our first team meeting it was April four, UM, and so in seven months time, the growth has been unbelievable. And in how he's playing the position, learning the whole system, and then how he's uh handling the ebbs and flows of natural um in game MOMENTUM. And UH saw it again today. You know he's UM didn't really put UH, didn't really give the defense and opportunity UM to take
the ball away really UM. And then he you know, he just continues to UM impressed by by being UM, you know, through the course of the game, just taking one play at a time, and and and the players themselves can really UM feel the visceral confidence and energy UM that he's that he's bringing forth UM to play the position and responding to it on both sides the ball.
I feel like I mean, I don't know how you can top that, but we're gonna try to talk about his game a little bit more in depth here than you know, even coach gave us there in terms of the impact he has notched on the offense with the defense and the entire squad. And I just thought we saw more of the same with this guy that you've come to expect, an addition to creating some plays by getting off his spot versus pressure and throwing on the
move that eighteen yard touchdown pass to Jalen Waddle. When I used to chart quarterbacks, I would talk about are they throwing from the pocket or on the are they on the move left to right? He's out in space, he's left the pocket from that pressure, flushed out to the left and throws a strike between a trio of Bears defenders. And I loved, loved, loved the way Jalen Waddle came back to the football and went and got that ball. It's his ball in the end zone, touchdown,
his sixth of the season. How about the twenty six yard pop to Waddle earlier in the game. More on that in the teaching tape moment of the podcast. Spoiler Alert we're gonna talk about to his teaching tape, and then also getting to the backside to waddle on the opening drive of the game after reading a full field
progression on third down to the front side. You see him so quickly going through the progressions the head snap, snap, snap to the next spot and then as soon as he sees it, sees that I have an opening or a spot to put the football into this location from my guy to make a play, by the time he sees it, like there is just no lag between see
it and ball out. That release, that decision making, that processing is what really makes this quarterback stand out right now in terms of leading the league in so many key categories. Gosh, he's playing good. I think when coach McDaniel talks about playing the position, it's not you know, the beauty pageant traits. It's playing quarterback, which is still the very most paramount element of the position. Processing decisions, anticipation, accuracy to a really checks the box and all those
marks and all those areas. And that's why he's giving you the stats that I've just given you. I mean, the ball comes out hot, his ball handling is exceptional on a lot of those fakes gets us into good run looks. He's absolutely precise with the timing and location in the middle of the football field where you have to be because things happen so fast there. And he entered this game with double the number two quarterback in
the NFL of completions. He had thirty two coming into today of ten plus eight yards between the numbers in the middle of the football field. Had a bunch more of those today, so I'm sure that stat will increase. He had thirty two second place had six team coming into the day. Just continues to attack the middle of the field with confidence, bravado, and relentless ability to go after those two playmaking receivers, and really the entire complement
of guys. You know, Cedric Wilson making some plays that day, Trent Shirtfield getting some action as well, the running backs. Just this full offense running off of what TA can do as the distributor. It's fun to watch man. And my favorite part about this. For two his games, I thought that his placement in that second half was actually a tad off. And I say that by to a standards because for most quarterbacks that means you're missing throws
like high low back. You know they're in completions second and ten for two. Uh, that means guys have to go off the frame a little bit. They have to catch the ball down by their belt opposed to their chest when he's off by a little bit. So just
go off the frame and inch pull it in. He really is, if not the most, one of the most accurate quarterbacks in football, just like Tyreek Hill told us back in the off season, speaking of Tyreek, takeaway number two, Tyreek Hills having an absolutely insane season, and the subplot that has his running mate is pretty damn good in himself. Let's go ahead and start with Tyreek from a play standpoint,
just the attention that he commands is utterly ridiculous. But then he can even still run guys off of the double coverage that he does get. We've seen him do it multiple times this season with bracket coverage, and I love how we get him on those longer developing routes that allow him to attack leverage and push defenders to their absolute brink where they have to make a decision. Am I gonna squat on this and risk him running by me? Or am I gonna get on my heels
and defend against that and open up space underneath. And he just has a real innate ability to understand when that dB feels that presence to push them off their route and then just run away from them. Those little crossers, those corner routes, the flag routes, really multiple routes where when TWA has time and climbs and fires, Tyreek shches it with all kinds of space and then can make his moves and get that extra six, seven, eight yards after the catch. Gosh, it's been fun to watch. It's
another hundred yard performance. It's his fifth game out of nine with more than a hundred and forty receiving yards. It's one thousand, one hundred and four yards on the season for Tyreek, which is already the eleventh most in a single season for Dolphins history. It's the most by any player in the National Football League ever through nine games. Calvin Johnson when he broke the record. What year is that when he broke the record had a thousand, eighty
three receiving yards that year through nine games. Tyreek also has two hundred six point nine Fantasy points that, by the way, is the most in his career through the first nine games. Of his career, so he is having the best season so far in his NFL career through these first nine games. He also caught his third touchdown pass of the season and did his best, I should say, the best backflip I've ever seen from a person who
is not named a Moan Biles. He caught seven of eight targets for a fun hundred and forty three yards and the touchdown reception. And how about the penguin on the other side, he caught five of seven for eighty five and it would have probably been six for eight for what was it, seventy more yards eighty more yards in that touchdown if we got to him late. We'll
talk about that play in just a minute. He did score a touchdown though, getting him six on the year, and that gives the tandem on the day twelve catches on fifteen targets for two twenty eight and two touchdowns. You want to talk about efficiency on offense targeting those guys.
You know you ran fifty three plays a day. Fifteen of your plays went through Tyreeke and Jalen, So what is that fifteen thirty five It's a little more than a between a third four of your place fifteen point two yards per play when you go to those guys, not bad at all. And and how about thirty two and forty seven yards of defensive pass interference yardage on either two of those guys. I mean, I'm no mathematician, but to twenty eight plus seventy nine put you right
around the three hundred yard mark. Again for these guys, if you were to include the dp I yard, how does their quarterback feel about them? I think it's probably pretty good. Let's go ahead and throw it to two. That's that's exactly what it is. Is if one gets doubled, we're looking for the other. And if that one is doubled as well, if they double both of them, then we gotta find the next guy. So they both complement each other, but they also both compliment everyone else on
on our offense. Really fun game to talk about here. So far, we are through the first two takeaways with two and the wide receivers. They've been pretty frequent in this spot. Let's go ahead and take our first break and come back and we'll do takeaways three through five. We have the play before the play, the teaching tape plenty more talk about some new acquisitions. Here on your Dolphins roster. That's next Drive Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,
brought to you by Auto Nation. It's a Sunday night slash Monday morning depending on when you're downloading this podcast. We have the first two takeaways from the Dolphins thirty five thirty two victory over the Chicago Bears, another exhilarating victory. I did ask Seth and o J do you think today might be the day we have just a normal regular football game where we go and get a comfortable lead and win and we don't have to stress out
back and forth in the fourth quarter. That was the case early, it was not the case late, as the Dolphins defense does get a couple of stands late to hold off the point or I should say the the lead the offense gave the defense early in the game, as well as special teams getting that punt blocked back for six. And speaking of the offense, we're gonna stay on that side of the football for takeaway number three and it is welcome to Miami. Jeff Wilson. The touchdown
catch alone, to me was worth getting this takeaway. But I mean, we heard coach Mike McDaniel talked this week about his physical running style and how it sets a tone. And we heard Jeff Wilson say, I like to get downhill. I don't like to play a lot of games. And boy, we learned that in a big way of both instances in terms of him not playing games and setting a tone from a physicality standpoint, because it's sure as heck did that What a game from him. They Move the
Sticks podcast, one of my favorite podcast out there. Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks, NFL Media and Rett Lewis joins them as well as a third co host. Sometimes. They had a discussion on a recent podcast that was originally about the Dolphins passing game. These young quarterbacks kind of taking the over the guard of the NFL. Uh and as the you know, kind of the Hall of Fame little quarterbacks right off into the sunset here towards the end of
their careers. And he was talking a lot about two in this offense and how well Too was playing, and they eventually got to the segment about running backs and forcing miss tackles and how the scouts view these running backs in terms of their ability to make guys miss in three phases, Guys that can step through tackles, guys that can pull through arm tackles, and guys that can
run through tackles. So the step through is obviously the lowest of the three of those where you can kind of get get around the shoestring, get around guys by your legs. The pull through is getting through those you know, Christian Wilkins too gapping and he throws that arm out. You can get through those tackles. And then when you run through guys, those are your Marshawn Lynches, your Marian Barber's, those types of folks. And that's about where Jeff Wilson
falls from the physicality standpoint. He's only like a hundred pounds, so it's pretty crazy the way he packs a punch behind those pads. He just runs through dudes. I cannot wait to see his missed tackles forced on Pro Football Focus on the Tuesday podcast. I'll tweet it out on Monday, for sure. He's just he brought a different element to the offense. I thought his twenty eight yard gallop also
tied a team high this season. Chase Edmonds twenty eight yard run against the Ravens back in Week two on the game winning drive in that game, he was picking up extra crucial yardage with his effort. He gives US seventy two total yards from scrimmage on just twelve touches, nine for fifty one on the ground, so better than five yards per rush, three for one through the air, and a touchdown reception. Let's hear from quarterback to a tongue of Valoa on running back Jeff Wilson. Wow. Yeah, uh,
that's what I gotta say. Wow, um m is his first game with us, and he almost he almost takes one to score and and then that same drive, I mean he he basically Reggie bushed and dove for the touchdown. Um, I mean you you don't. You don't see that often. So for for someone like him to to come come from, you know, the Niners and fit right into our offense like that tells you a lot about his work ethic, tells you a lot about who he is as a
player and who he is as a professional. So wow, yeah, that's kind of how we felt watching him as too as well. To a good stuff there. That's takeaway number three. Takeaway number four is the Bradley Chubb acquisition impact went well beyond his stat line Chubb finishes the day with just a half tackle. In the game, he had three QB pressures, which actually led the Miami Dolphins and was so so, so damn close to a key stack late.
We'll talk about that more here in just one second, But we did see Melvin Ingram get a crucial sack to push the Bears behind the chains to get second and fifteen after a five yard dumped there from the veteran outside linebacker pass rusher a little bit of everything in his arsenal. How about Jalen Phillips's effort all day long? We talked about his motor and the way he just relentlessly pursues thing. They ran a jet sweep to a
wide receiver that he ran down from the backside. How many defensive ends slash outside linebackers guys that play in that mold at two seventy pounds were doing that. There's not many of them. Jalen Phillips does it and coached we'll talk we'll hear from coach here in just a second. Talked about players being able to stay even fresher with the impact of getting a guy like Bradley Chub on the roster and the impact you saw at that possession group all day long. For instance, we talked about Andrew
Van Ginkle's value on special teams. What does he do but set the Dolphins record for a punt block return for a touchdown twenty eight yards is the longest and franchise history. Gek's been playing awesome on special teams all year and that comes off a play where Jalen Phillips has himself a one on one block he has to be and o J broke this down on the postgame show, and o J is so great special teams because his rookie year he pretty much was only a special teamer
and he loves that stuff. I love hearing him talk special teams. And he talked about how on that play the Dolphins must have seen that this undersized guy was gonna be on the edge trying to block a guy like Jalen Phillips, who he was giving fifty sixty pounds too. And Phillips sidesteps the block and gets in there and he he ding near took that ball off the foot
of the punter. He was in there so quickly, and you kind of saw the cool look there from Danny Croftsman and the Dolphins special teams coordinator and the entire special teams unit where they kind of had some late activity in the middle part of the formation. Guys showing pressure in the middle, and you saw the Bears squeeze it. They kind of got tighter in their splits and that left Phillips in a one on one situation to come
in there and get the pump block. Andrew Van ginkle scoops it up, runs it back twenty eight yards for a touchdown. And there you go that those are two edge defenders you know who are not named Bradley chub seeing reps on special teams making a huge play that changed the game on special teams. That's big time. Man. Let's go ahead and hear from coach McDaniel. Who I mean. I'm gonna give it to coach because he said it it's more important. But we'll come back to that topic.
Let's go to coach McDaniel. Uh, you know, very very good play by both of them. UM. You know, the the particular individuals not just their their skills, but the human beings. UM getting them this week was exactly what UM we had hoped. They're the type of people that are both physical, UM but team guys and very talented. So that UM that really paid off all week, had everyone really excited, I think, UM, I think that it
paid off in several people's statistics. Defensively, UM, the rotation, you guys were able to be a little more fresh. UM and um he was he was in and around the ball a ton And then UM, Jeff was exactly what I had known from my experience with him. Um, he's a big game player that UM that really thrives when those numbers called upon and and UM, you know, bring that aggressiveness and then you know, made a couple of plays in the past game that were pretty cool.
So UM, I'm real happy with those those two guys glad there with us. Do you get a little bit of a bonus they're talking to for one with Jeff Wilson as well. But I was what I was getting to before that was that I was proud to say that I said the exact same thing to Juice and Seth in the green room at the radio station after that pump block, Like, do we get those reps from Phillips and Van Ginkle if we don't have Chub to take on so much on the defensive side of the football.
Like it matters, man, this stuff really really really matters. I know you guys are very sick of hearing about how close we've been in the past rush, but again, like that quarterback is pretty extraordinary over there, and most guys, you know, I think, I think we get them for either sacks or at the very least prevent a lot of those guys from big plays, because when a red hot quarterback is dealing like Justin Fields was in this game, this league is just not really designed to slow them
down that way. We did our best at times to make those plays, but we did make just enough plays at the very end, and a big part of that came through the play of that edge position with ingram Seck, Chubb's pressure and effort, Phillips's pressures and effort, Van Giggle, the big pump return or pump block return after Phillips's pump block. Good stuff all around from that group. A big, big part of this Dolphin's victory and takeaway number five.
You know, we did four really positives. We have to kind of talk about something that we can improve upon, and that is the third down defense and the narrow misses on offense and again, we have to close this because no game is perfect, right to what told us as much after the game. But again, justin Fields made a bunch of plays, and you, certainly, I think, can look inward to see what you can do better. It's so tough, and I just want to make that abundantly clear.
It's so tough, but better tackling, better disciplined. Maybe stay in control when you break down and come come up from distance or come from depth in the scramble game, or when he pump fakes beyond the line of scrimmage. It's tough to stay on your feet. A lot of those things are so easy to say but tough to do. But man, if we can do him, if we can find a way to get him executed, we could really put a full game together and maybe get some lopside of scores in the you know, as a result of that,
the Bears go ten for sixteen on third down. They convert half of their fourth downs one for two. A lot of that was rushing by the quarterback, who sets an NFL regular season record for rushing by a quarterback with a buck seventy eight on the ground. We'll see Josh Allen hearing about a month we already faced Lamar Jackson. Jalen Hurts is not on the schedule, so I don't think you'll run into a guy quite like that the
rest of the regular season. But it's worth pointing out the adjustments they'll need to make against a quarterback as dangerous as he with his legs, something McDaniel referred to several times in his postgame presser, And you know, he talked about what fields can do from a natural ability, from the dynamic, dynamic element of his game running the football. He's a tough quarterback and he looks really good and
Bears fans should be super happy that he is. There's but when a player goes off like that, it presents you an opportunity to find out how to get better. And I trust Josh Boyer and this Dolphin's coaching staff will figure that out on the defensive side. But again, two key key stops at the end of the game. Go back to Pittsburgh, shout out in the second half
of the game. Go back to Detroit second half of the game, no points for the lines on three possessions, and you've got a big fourth down stop to win that game. Essentially before the offense put it away, so no game goes complete with one side of the football getting it done to get you to the winner circle. And the defense, despite a rough day for the most part, bounced back and responded a huge in a big way
late in the game. And then the point b of this fifth takeaway the two misses by the offense, two chances to really put this game away, and we missed him. And I sure hope that's not the narrative coming out of this game. I mean, it probably will be, because it's been that way since one got here, so I guess who cares. But the two narrow misses are not the story here, but we do want to address them
since we are a comprehensive podcast. The miss to Durham smile, let's go ahead and hear from two a tongue of by Low on a fourth down throw that looked open, couldn't complete it, and it gave the Bears offense to
the football back. Well, I I seen him and I was getting ready to throw it to him, and I think he took a look up and so it kind of through through off the way I was going to throw it to him because I didn't know if he was going to turn up or or not, and so he looked up and I was getting ready to throw. Then the ball came out and he looked back. So that's you know, that's that's something that you know, I'll
need to to work on too. I'll get better with. Yeah, there was not really anybody in that area, so to not get that ball completed was certainly a heartbreaker at the time. Again, thankfully the defense made us not regret
that miss. That one gives you a first and ten if not first in goal depending on Derham's run after the catch with seven five to play with a three point leading the fourth quarter, so you were then just about ten yards away from really putting the game on ice, potentially with two score lead and half of the fourth
quarter gone. Then we get another shot after two runs go for negative one total yards uh to kick off that penultimate drive before the victory formation drive and Jalen Waddle gets behind the defense on third and eleven two A lobs it down there and it comes up just a tad short. We still nearly completed it to a put a ton of air under it, and you see, you know a lot of these great deep ball throwers put the a ton of air under the ball and give the receiver a chance to go run under it.
And we've seen that really, you know, with two all year long. I think looking at singular throws like this and a vacuum is awfully dangerous because hitting super fast guys and stride is not something you expect to do at a high volume. But the Dolphins have done that all year long. It's worked all year, but you can't hit them all. We missed this one that would have
put the game away, and we just missed it. But again, luckily, it's a team game, and our special teams got a great punt and great coverage to go get the Bears behind uh the chains or behind where they had to get to kick a game tying field goal. And that's how you win a game with the defense holding up their end of the bargain at the very end. So there you go, your five takeaways, third down defense, and narrow misses on offense. The Chub acquisition impact went well
beyond his stat line. Welcome to Miami, Jeff Wilson, Tyreek Hills having an insane season and his running mate the Penguin pretty damn good too. And to continues his hot hot start to the season, looks the part at the QB position. Let's go ahead and take our last break here and come back on the other side and finish up with some additional notes the play before the play and teaching tape. That's next Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,
brought to you by Auto Nation. Back here on a week nine recap edition of the Drivetime Podcast, and I want to kick this part of the segment off with coach McDaniel's opening remarks at his postgame press conference talking about he was asked, is this a sustainable way to win games? Where the offense comes out to a hot start, defense struggles, and you kind of flip it at the very end, here's coach talking about what this team has shown him through nine weeks and a six in three market. Yeah.
I mean I kind of see it the opposite way. I see that. UM, I see a strong example of complimentary football. UM. There's been instances all season that's I'm really fired up about what the team where one phase. UM, you know, the whole stadium and both teams can feel that they don't have momentum right now. UM. For this game, it was defensively they were able to convert some stuff, UM and really stay on the field and dominate time of possession for UM the first three quarters really UM.
But the what I'm happy about is the resolve. UM. Of course you want to dominate your opponent. UM. They get paid to that. They did a good job. UM. You know not not we're hoping to get some turnovers and they didn't really allow give us give us opportunities to that. They were UM, very strategic and how they
they approached the game plan. I feel like in um keeping the ball out of our hands and and you know, to their credit, justin fields is um is as dynamic with the ball in his hands any any player in the league. Really so UM. It's they will never be sustainable for one side of the ball to dominate in the National Football League anyway. UM, it's hard to within one game. And UM, what I'm just happy about is UH, when the the offense wasn't able to score points, the
defense found their best their best play. And that's UM what we're gonna build on moving forward. This team certainly is finding different ways to win games. That's how a lot about a football team. All the best teams have multiple ways to win games, and this Dolphins team is offering a different victory every week, it seems so far.
Some additional notes before I get out of here. I thought the offensive line play was fantastic, especially you know, not especially Rob Jones at left guard though, was the new guy in the lineup, and I thought he acquitted himself quite nicely. Again, we'll have more on that on the Tuesday edition of the Drift Time podcast, the All
twenty two recap edition of the Drive Time Podcast. But I thought Tehron, Rob Jones, Connor Williams, Rob Hunt, Brandon Shell that one yard touchdown run there from Raheem Moster. Shout out to him by the way for finding the end zone on the rushing touchdown. But the way they cleared space, good blocks all across the board, executing a short yardage, big time stuff for the offensive line and
also no sacks. Love to see that. I thought Duke Riley and Channing Tendaal made some nice plays on that dangerous, dangerous quarterback. Their speed showed up time and time again. Duke had some place late. We'll talk about that here in one second. Channing Tendal speed really showed up on that first drive of the game where Fields tried to scramble on third and ten before the field goal, but he got met by forty one who was able to get him to the sideline, get him out of bounds,
and get the Dolphins defense off the field. Kator Co, who's tackling continues to be absolutely exceptional, whether he's coming up to blow up a screen pass to get a tackle for loss on a run play going wide, he just comes in there under control, but absolutely fast and ferocious, and he makes a lot of great plays behind the line. Also had really good coverage again down the field all
day long. In defense, I thought Eric Rowe had some big plays where he really showed you his ability to understand angles and passing concepts and getting with in the passing game to put some big hits on tight ends and cut down their ability to run after the catch. Those guys I thought earned some notes here in the post game. Will also have more for you guys again on Tuesday, covering the entire game from a film standpoint,
the play before the play. We have to take this to the plays before the play because the Bear's final possession. I mean, how many of you guys felt like after those two conversions they got the two third down conversions that like the best case scenario here might just be overtime. The only ones who could do something about it was the defense, and they did. That's how you win in this league, man, And I think that series of play
showed you a little bit of everything you had. Seeler and Wilkins stack up a play for Duke Riley to come in there and finish it off for just a two yard run from Khalil Herbert. Then Duke again keys the quarterback and gets downhill in a hurry and chases him down to get him down behind the line out of bounds for a two yard sack. Loss of two
is big there to get to third and ten. Then we get some really tight coverage downfield from Keion Crossing with Javon Holland coming up over the top, and Keian did a good job getting his eyes back on the football. I thought Javon is gonna pick it off, winds up being a pass breakup. And then the fourth down stop, you know's a drop pass. But you know what, by making the plays on first through third down, you put
yourself in position to capitalize on a mistake. Just look at our drive at the end of the first half. A couple of mistakes was the difference with the twelve man penalty and a drop pass out. Why between potentially seven and three then you wind up with nothing at the end of it. So that continued effort was such a key part of this whole win, and those first three plays on down one through three help you get
to that key fourth down. The teaching tape I talked about it, and takeaway number one with Tah was the twenty six yard hit from TWA to waddle where you see to A just completely remove the linebacker by kind of looking in that direction and then flipping his hips and shoulders and his eyes over to the flat, and
the linebacker gets all the way out of there. It creates a gap inside for two to thread the ball into a tight window for twenty six yards with the catch and run after the fact teaching tape for two and the way he displaces those curl hook defenders and puts them to the flat and creates space for his guys to create their own space to make plays after
the catch. So really good stuff there from QB one again passing yards and three touchdown passes again that gives him fifteen touchdown passes to just three picks this year, also has not turned the ball over in three games. Pretty good way to win football games and your quarterback plays that well. All right, let's go ahead and call it a podcast. Back with you guys on Tuesday for the All twenty two review.
