Transcript
00:00:00All right, it has been too long, but we got the one, the only Ted Johnson, NBC Sports
00:00:17Boston, three times Superbowl champion.
00:00:19He and I are just chatting big time skier and he might find himself in Vegas for the
00:00:23Patriots by week.
00:00:24So even though they're three and eight, uh, they're one of our favorite analysts.
00:00:28You must be 11 to know.
00:00:29I don't know how many games you're playing here, but you're, you're undefeated so far
00:00:32in life.
00:00:33My friend, it's great to have you back.
00:00:34It's a Andrew.
00:00:35It's good to be back, buddy.
00:00:36Um, it's funny that, uh, I reached out to you this week.
00:00:39I really liked you, you, you're, uh, you were crushing it and some of your, uh, just a detailed
00:00:44analysis of the, of the game against the Rams.
00:00:46And so, um, uh, you know, that's what, uh, you know, kind of precipitated us getting
00:00:51together today, which is great.
00:00:52So I got a lot on my mind and I know you, uh, you have a, uh, just a, uh, I don't know,
00:00:59a, a, a voracious, ferocious, voracious appetite for this stuff.
00:01:03And so I'm, I'm looking forward to what chopping it up with you.
00:01:06Yeah.
00:01:07I'm just awaiting our, uh, I don't know if it's annual, but like per episode mentioned
00:01:10a cover to you're just adoration of coverage.
00:01:13I think it, I feel like it's going to come up.
00:01:14You and I previewed Miami last year.
00:01:16You came on the pod very gracious with your time and it was like, you just got to sit
00:01:19back.
00:01:20We want three Superbowls doing this.
00:01:21They're playing a lot of base defense nowadays, like they did back in your day.
00:01:25I know.
00:01:26Do you think we're getting like five minute Mark, 10 minute Mark, 15 minute Mark cover
00:01:29to where we're just going to land, Ted?
00:01:32Yeah, that's a, that's, it's, it is.
00:01:34It is interesting.
00:01:35Um, I mean, the, the, there's just, you know, I have many thoughts on the, on the defense,
00:01:39but you know, it's, it's, and you, you did a really good job kind of again, uh, post
00:01:44game.
00:01:45I liked the breakdown of, you have a different personnel groupings on offense, but then you
00:01:49went over to defense and you, uh, you know, you kind of broke down how, how many snaps
00:01:53in base versus nickel versus dime.
00:01:57And it was interesting to see, you know, kind of the, the 43% in base, which is about what
00:02:03I was playing, uh, my, my last year in the league, which is a little surprising.
00:02:06I mean, I retired 18 years ago.
00:02:08So for them to be playing as much base as they were, uh, is, is interesting, you know,
00:02:13and you also, uh, had an interesting, I think observation is that, you know, they have a
00:02:18difficult time when they are in base stopping the pass.
00:02:21And when they go out there in nickel, they have a difficult time stopping the run.
00:02:26That is a problem because you need to be able to have one defense, whether it's base or
00:02:33nickel, at least it's probably one of those two where you're good at stopping, uh, something,
00:02:39you know, stopping, if you put in base, you, you, you put in place to stop the run, but
00:02:44you can't be vulnerable against the pass either.
00:02:47Right.
00:02:48So you got to be able to die, you know, be really good in one of the, one of those kind
00:02:52of groupings, either, either base or nickel and the, and the Patriots have issues in both
00:02:58of those personnel groupings.
00:03:00And that's, that's a very big problem.
00:03:02And I, and I just quickly, we'll say our teams in the early two thousands, we had, we had
00:03:09one base coverage that are one, uh, a base personnel group that was, if we were ever
00:03:15having problems, we went to it every time and we'd play 34 cover two, and it would be
00:03:19against four wides, three wides.
00:03:22It wouldn't matter.
00:03:23The greatest show on turf.
00:03:24We can put our base defense out there and we all knew what we were doing and we're all
00:03:28proficient at it.
00:03:29And so we, um, we can stop the pass in it and we can stop the run in it.
00:03:33And, uh, and that's, that's, uh, that's something this defense does not, uh, does not have right
00:03:38now.
00:03:39All right.
00:03:40A couple of housekeeping notes.
00:03:41Number one, uh, you have hit your allotment of compliments.
00:03:43I will not hear any more positive words about my work on this podcast.
00:03:46That is it.
00:03:47Thank you for the flowers.
00:03:48But we are, our faces are full, uh, over here.
00:03:51Number two, Cole strangers back in practice today, you and I recording, I probably should
00:03:54have left with this.
00:03:55It's like just over three 30 on Wednesday.
00:03:57So there's no injury report out yet, but with Cole strange back in Christian Barmore and
00:04:02Dietrich twice being the only players are missing in practice today.
00:04:04Safe to say the Patriots are still in similar health.
00:04:07Why is it not play last weekend?
00:04:08Uh, Christian Marmore did play 21 snaps.
00:04:10So she broke down on Monday.
00:04:12He looks rusty.
00:04:14What else would you expect when he's in pads for the first time since then, this is part
00:04:16of a long ramp up, uh, number three, you and I talk movies on here and we're going to get
00:04:22to Drake may who, you know, you, you had a long breakdown in your text to me.
00:04:27And I know you've got a lot of thoughts and you're doing breakdowns with Phil Perry.
00:04:29They're excellent.
00:04:30Watch them every single Monday.
00:04:31And then we're going to get to pass dolphins a little bit later on, but I just, I really
00:04:35enjoy our movie chats and I want to know what you've watched lately.
00:04:39And I need a, an extreme review, something that you absolutely loved and why, or something
00:04:43that you hated and why?
00:04:44Cause my man, Ted Johnson has said the start, just a worldly man and movies are high up
00:04:48there for you.
00:04:49Yeah.
00:04:50You know what I look, there's, there is a movie that came out within the last year.
00:04:54It's basically, it was the prequel to a movie that was released in 2015.
00:04:58And, uh, um, I don't know if you're a fan of the Mad Max franchise, but I, I, I certainly
00:05:04am, you know, going back with what Mel Gibson back in the day, road warrior, I loved those
00:05:08movies.
00:05:09Um, and so, uh, you know, in 2015, uh, what was it, uh, Mad Max three road, uh, excellent,
00:05:17excellent movie.
00:05:18You ready for the Salish movie going story you've ever heard.
00:05:20Yup.
00:05:21Okay.
00:05:22So 2015, I, you and I were just chatting about this.
00:05:24I lived in rural Pennsylvania outside of Hershey.
00:05:27I go to see a movie cause I have nothing else to do on a Saturday where I have two friends,
00:05:30but they live 45 minutes away.
00:05:32I said, you know, people sneak, uh, snacks into the movie theater.
00:05:36I'm going to do that with the backpack.
00:05:38I'm also just going to have a couple of beers because that, that was my life at 24, 25 working
00:05:43high school sports, D three college, just me in the back Saturday matinee.
00:05:47I don't know if you could still call it a matinee, a couple of same man was down and
00:05:50just sheepishly go out of a two and a half hour movie.
00:05:52So, uh, yeah, that was my first guy and it won't be the last guy that's ever snuck beers
00:05:58into a movie theater.
00:05:59I guarantee you that.
00:06:00Yeah.
00:06:01But the prequel you're talking about, that's a Anya Taylor joy, I think came out earlier
00:06:03this year.
00:06:04That's been on my, like, I want to watch this on a plane, but it also just might be
00:06:09too violent.
00:06:10Cause I don't know if there's someone behind me.
00:06:11So it's on my list, but keep going.
00:06:13It is.
00:06:14It is.
00:06:15There is, there is violence.
00:06:16Um, I think, uh, it is not gratuitous violence though.
00:06:19It's so it's a little, it's, you know, there's some blood and there, there, there's, there's
00:06:23a lot of killing, but it's, I don't think they, it's so like in your face, like, uh,
00:06:28you know, if you're watching like a Quentin Tarantino movie.
00:06:31So I think you'd be fine watching it on a plane, but the Furiosa Mad Max saga.
00:06:36So that's the, that's the recent one that came out.
00:06:38Like you said, with, uh, with, uh, you know, Anya Taylor joy, Chris Hemsworth, excellent
00:06:42in it.
00:06:43Um, and I'm a big fan of, of just the, the, you know, how Glenn Miller directs, um, just
00:06:48the coloring, the tenting, the cinematography.
00:06:51If you know me, you know, I'm a fan of the Avatar movies and it's the same kind of thing.
00:06:56It's the, it's the cinematography.
00:06:58It's these big kind of beautiful shots, uh, that they're so creative and kind of making
00:07:03that I think are part of the, why I enjoy the movies.
00:07:07Plus the storyline is good.
00:07:08And I thought Chris Hemsworth, um, continues to just get better and better and, and do
00:07:12roles that are, I wouldn't expect him to be good in, you know, he's, uh, he's, he's funny.
00:07:17Uh, but he, you know, he's, but he doesn't try too hard.
00:07:20It's a more of a subtle humor, um, and, and, and I can respect that.
00:07:24So that would be my, my recommendation is Furiosa Mad Max saga.
00:07:28And then I'll put in a, just a, another one that's completely different, uh, kind of genre.
00:07:33Um, I don't know if you've ever heard of the movie old Henry.
00:07:37It's with Tim Blake Nelson.
00:07:39It's an excellent movie.
00:07:41It's a simple movie.
00:07:42Uh, it's, it's, it's taken like in the late 1800s, early 1900s.
00:07:47Um, and it's about kind of Billy the kid, uh, post Billy the kid when he gets older
00:07:53and, uh, and retires from his earlier kind of shenanigans.
00:07:56Um, and it's just well-written and stylistically, you know, if you've ever seen a movie like,
00:08:01uh, hell or high water, you know, like the movie about the two bank robbers out in West
00:08:06Texas, it's very dialogue driven, but it's really good dialogue.
00:08:10This, uh, that's clever and engaging.
00:08:13And I think the storylines, it will keep you, keep you hooked in.
00:08:16So that's a, uh, that's another one.
00:08:18Um, that's kind of off the radar called old Henry, old Henry.
00:08:22One last question.
00:08:22And then we'll get to football.
00:08:23Cause there's a portion of people who listen to this podcast or shaking their little fists,
00:08:28uh, which they would never do to you in person.
00:08:30Probably me in person.
00:08:31That the fact that we haven't gotten to football, football talk, but you're also very open about
00:08:34the movies that make you cry, Ted.
00:08:36And I'm curious, the last one that you watched sitting at home or otherwise where a little
00:08:39tear rolled down your cheek.
00:08:40Oh God.
00:08:41Oh my gosh.
00:08:42There's so many, I mean, there's, there's just too many, but I mean, just the first
00:08:46one, boom comes to my head right away is a Shawshank redemption.
00:08:50I will rewatching.
00:08:53Oh, are you kidding me every time?
00:08:56I mean, I mean, when, when, when, uh, Andy Dufresne is on that bus going to Mexico to
00:09:03see his good bud red, like, and they build it up and then you see this, the final shot
00:09:08is in pulling away.
00:09:10And then you just see these two little small bodies running towards each other to give
00:09:13each other a hug because they are, they're now out of prison and, uh, and free to do
00:09:18whatever they want together.
00:09:20Come on, are you kidding me?
00:09:21Uh, all day, every day.
00:09:22So I, I cry very, very easy in movies.
00:09:26I am a sucker for it.
00:09:28Any, any storyline that has to do with, you know, a dad and a son, you know, you want
00:09:32to have a catch dad, you know, field of dreams.
00:09:34If you don't cry at the end of field of dreams from that one, if you, you, if you have a
00:09:40dad that's, you know, it'd been involved in your life and it's been there every step of
00:09:44the way, like I've fortunately had, you know, movies like that, when it has that storyline,
00:09:49always get me overcoming addiction and struggle.
00:09:52And, uh, you know, just, uh, abuse is always, are always movies I'm going to relate to,
00:09:59um, just because of my history.
00:10:00And so I cry in a lot of movies, Andrew, it's, uh, it's pretty pathetic, but you know what
00:10:07my kids bust my balls and my, and my girlfriend laughs, but they, they know that it speaks.
00:10:13So I just, I feel things and I'm a very emotional guy.
00:10:16And so movies always bring it out of me, man.
00:10:18Yeah.
00:10:19I love it.
00:10:19Always keeping it real.
00:10:20You don't hear that from a lot of X players, uh, or I would even just say men in public
00:10:25guys.
00:10:26So I appreciate you opening up.
00:10:27Hopefully, uh, Drake may makes a film about his relationship with his father and his brother.
00:10:32He's actually singing his dad's praises today because then we can get the waterworks and
00:10:35some football in, but let's pivot full-time to football.
00:10:38You use the word unique when we were texting the other day about Drake and why you're excited
00:10:43about him.
00:10:43And I share this excitement.
00:10:44I'm working on a column as we, not as we speak, but when we finish up, I will finish
00:10:48writing this column about, look, I'm sold six, six games is a tiny sample to declare
00:10:53a franchise quarterback, but the power of the sample matters.
00:10:57And the power of the sample is so strong, but you having been associated or playing
00:11:00or analyzing the NFL since it's been nineties, we're talking basically 30 years here are
00:11:04calling this kid unique.
00:11:06Why?
00:11:07Um, I'll say, so just lock in.
00:11:08I'll try.
00:11:09I'm going to go fast.
00:11:09Cause you and I tend to, uh, you know, have, we can talk about you and me.
00:11:14And so look, the, the, it is, it is quick for me to kind of, part of me is shocked that
00:11:20I, I, I use the word special to describe a kid that's only started six games.
00:11:25Um, uh, you know, I use the word unique, unique in his own way, um, already through six games.
00:11:31How can you say that?
00:11:33Um, but it's, but that's the way I feel, um, Andrew and, and I'll just quickly go through
00:11:38the things that I think make him unique.
00:11:42Um, and, and just different than really, you know, any other quarterback I've really seen.
00:11:46Um, and it's really because first off, I think the thing that jumps out is just his,
00:11:51is his overall athleticism is his running ability.
00:11:55Um, it's, he, he almost, it's a, it's the best athletes.
00:11:59Andrew are the ones that are out there and they make it look easy, right?
00:12:03I play with guys that were just from a physical standpoint, not, not necessarily,
00:12:08uh, a productive standpoint, um, or achievement standpoint, but just.
00:12:13Ability standpoint, you know, like a Terry Glenn, like a Andrew Katz, a warrior.
00:12:17They're just physically, they were so much better than everyone.
00:12:20They made it, it looked easy from a physical athletic standpoint,
00:12:24watching them play football.
00:12:26They stood out the way Drake made plays football.
00:12:28It just stands out to me how easy from an athletic standpoint.
00:12:33He's making a look.
00:12:34So his running style, smooth, explosive.
00:12:37Um, it's, it's, it's kind of, it kind of, it's unexpected, right?
00:12:42There's a, there's an easiness in which he moves with, uh, when he runs his sleight of
00:12:47hand, I call it a sleight of hand.
00:12:49He'd be a great magician.
00:12:50If you ever just, just watch him carrying out play fakes with his hands, fake here,
00:12:55fake their turn.
00:12:56It's, it's, it's very smooth.
00:12:59It's efficient.
00:13:00Um, it is, it is believable.
00:13:02And it's, it's, uh, you know, it's, you, it just makes it look, he makes it look effortless
00:13:06and it's not easy to do his, his athleticism throwing on the run.
00:13:12Um, is, is unique to it, in my opinion, um, that third and seven down that third and seven
00:13:18play that he had, where he threw across his body as he was jumping, as he was getting
00:13:22hit to, uh, Demario Douglas, who was coming across on a short, uh, you know, crossing
00:13:27route was an unbelievable throw because, and he hit Demario Douglas right in the hands
00:13:33where he needed to take his momentum going for a 20 yard, uh, game.
00:13:37So his ability to throw on the run, I feel is very unique.
00:13:43How many times do we say quarterbacks always get in trouble when they throw across their
00:13:46bodies?
00:13:47All Drake may does is throw across his body two or three times in a game and he completes
00:13:51every one of them.
00:13:52And the only, the ones he doesn't are because there was a penalty on the play and they had
00:13:56to call the playback.
00:13:57So, um, I'm seeing him do things, uh, all these things is that athleticism on the run,
00:14:03um, his ability to throw the different angles.
00:14:06So I'm not done with describing his uniqueness, his ability to throw all the different slot
00:14:10angles.
00:14:10Okay.
00:14:11And then you combine the fact that he can throw on the run with the different slot angles.
00:14:18That's what makes him so unique.
00:14:19All those things make him unique.
00:14:21I mean, there's that, that, that bootleg he had to the left and he throws to a case, Sean
00:14:27booty, um, with a defender in his face is, is, is it, he makes the hard look easy.
00:14:33And that is what is so surprising to me.
00:14:35And so when I say he's got a unique style, all his own, it's because of those things
00:14:40I just mentioned.
00:14:42And I've said this before, so I'm not going to belabor it.
00:14:44And you explained it very well.
00:14:46The word is natural, right?
00:14:48Like he makes it look easy.
00:14:49He also makes it look like something he's been doing for about as long as he's been
00:14:53alive, 22 years.
00:14:55And it's funny that, you know, we talk about this because I audibly laughed in the press
00:14:59conference today.
00:15:00He chatted with us Wednesday.
00:15:01It does every late Wednesday morning.
00:15:03Taylor Kyle from CLNS gives this great question asking about, Hey, when you're looking at
00:15:07the field and you're certain processing things, are you doing this in a way that, again, you
00:15:12talk about like, you know, uh, quantifiable athleticism, oh, this guy runs whatever 40
00:15:16or lifts that much, or he jumps that much.
00:15:18Well, when you see him on the field, it's not as naturally easy moving, right?
00:15:21There's functional athleticism and there's stuff that you can measure.
00:15:24And the question Taylor asked separated those two things.
00:15:28Are you looking at this and saying, okay, it's cover two or cover three, which is more
00:15:32of that very linear kind of processing.
00:15:34You're just saying, well, I'm looking at space and leverage, and that's all that I
00:15:38really care about spatially.
00:15:39And he goes, this is after right before I left.
00:15:42Yeah, cool.
00:15:43I think that kind of comes natural.
00:15:46Of course it does.
00:15:47We can see it and he said it right there, whether it's what you're talking about, the
00:15:50physical or the mental, he's just natural.
00:15:52And you mentioned a couple of plays, and this is an example of this.
00:15:55I can tell you, Ted, that he's 10 of 14 for 95 yards and a touchdown against the blitz
00:16:00on Sunday.
00:16:01But the more impressive part is not the numbers.
00:16:04It's the calm.
00:16:05It's the arm slot.
00:16:06It's the jumping to the side stuff.
00:16:08That's just second reaction, natural reaction, playmaking, and problem solving stuff.
00:16:16Sometimes he's never seen before, but he seems to know the answer because he's not
00:16:20looking at this and overthinking at it when there's a lot of information.
00:16:24He's just very quickly identifying what do I need to do?
00:16:26What are my options?
00:16:27And he gets to the right one, whether it's his legs or throwing or the arming or whatever
00:16:31it is.
00:16:31It's all just so, so natural.
00:16:33It's a great word.
00:16:34It's a great way to describe it.
00:16:35And I want to put one more, two more quick points on this discussion is the other thing
00:16:45that he has that is so impressive of all the things that we're talking about is what
00:16:51I like about if you watch him, the play is never dead to him.
00:16:55He will squeeze every ounce of juice out of that thing he can to make a play.
00:17:04If it's throwing right as he's getting drilled, go back to the Titans game.
00:17:10I mean, that play, that play, him running around, running around, running, and then
00:17:14finally finding, you know, remandering Stevenson in the end zone, he like he went to the very
00:17:20last second of what that play was going to get the most out of and threw that ball up
00:17:27there and for remandering to catch it.
00:17:29It was you see him do that too, where he's as he's rolling out because he's getting flushed
00:17:33out.
00:17:34You see him almost to the boundary.
00:17:36I mean, and then he throws the ball as he's stepping out of bounds.
00:17:39And unfortunately, receiver goes out of bounds and then come back into bounds.
00:17:43And so it's not a touchdown anymore, but he doesn't give up on plays ever.
00:17:47And so that's pretty cool to me, like where you have a chance to the very end of that
00:17:52play because you never know.
00:17:54It looks like Drake's going down or he's about to get hit.
00:17:56And all of a sudden he pops up and throws the ball out in the flat for a, you know,
00:18:00for a for a game.
00:18:01So the kids got this this this way in which he plays again that I just think are unique
00:18:07to him.
00:18:07And then he he does in a lot of ways really look natural that everything looks natural
00:18:12to him.
00:18:13All right, let's put on your defensive coordinator cap here.
00:18:16You're you're in Miami.
00:18:18They've they've they've called you up and said, hey, Ted, we know you're in New England.
00:18:21We need you to consult what you've seen from Drake May.
00:18:23We are going to make you an offer.
00:18:24You can't refuse whatever amount of money that is to give us some tips.
00:18:27How would you defend the kid?
00:18:28You've been watching, studying, analyzing.
00:18:31And what is that answer?
00:18:32What do you expect defenses to do either this Sunday or moving forward?
00:18:35Understanding, OK, six games is a big enough sample to say we feel like we know what he's
00:18:39about.
00:18:40Yeah, it's Ben.
00:18:42First, I would say it's not an easy answer.
00:18:44It's not, you know, and I've I've put some thought into this and it's it's it's a it's
00:18:50a difficult one, right?
00:18:51So it's like, OK, do we, you know, do we sit back and flood the zones and and and let them
00:18:57pick us apart and don't, you know, don't put a lot of guys, you know, put three guys
00:19:00in the rush or four guys in the rush?
00:19:02Well, he's he's good at evading and buying time.
00:19:05And, you know, you know, do we do that or do we, you know, do we sit in the house and
00:19:09we just are we relentless in our blitzing?
00:19:10And I think you have the numbers there.
00:19:12And I couldn't it was so, I mean, incredible, you know, just the blitz both teams blitzing
00:19:19last week.
00:19:20But I mean, they were blitzing Drake May at a at a high clip and he was making them pay
00:19:25every single time.
00:19:26You already gave the numbers.
00:19:27So, like, I think I think he's so natural and and reads things so fast that he's going
00:19:34to he's going to be a great quarterback.
00:19:36Yes, I think he reads it so fast, you know, that that that you almost you expose yourself.
00:19:42So at the end of the day, I think what a lot of what they're trying to get to is running
00:19:47the football and horizontal passing.
00:19:49Right.
00:19:49So that's really the world in which I think the Patriots offense want to live long drives
00:19:54true up the clock, think and dunk down there.
00:19:57Now, you know, you know, the evidence might suggest otherwise.
00:20:00I mean, here's the thing is Drake will take a shot.
00:20:03He is not afraid to throw down field.
00:20:05But for the most part, the Patriots offense wants to work in that, you know, that box,
00:20:10that small box.
00:20:11So I would you know, if I'm doing I would take away his first read.
00:20:15I would not blitz him.
00:20:17I would send three, maybe in four guys in at the most.
00:20:21I would not.
00:20:22And I would sit back and play coverage and really, really, really do very, very be very
00:20:28disciplined in your in your in your rush.
00:20:30If you want to rush three, keep one guy in as a spy.
00:20:34Right.
00:20:35I would I would do that.
00:20:36So maybe not send all your your resources to to pass rush and not all your resources
00:20:43to to in coverage kind of keep it a balanced pass rush and coverage with a spy.
00:20:49Sometimes if you're only going to rush three or four guys, you know, it's hard to keep
00:20:53those guys disciplined.
00:20:54So a spy kind of shadowing Drake May to me, it was probably a great way because I think,
00:21:01you know, he you know what?
00:21:02Even though he hasn't been pulling the ball down and running as much lately, if you're
00:21:06only rushing three guys or four guys like I'm suggesting, then then then I would expect
00:21:12him to maybe, you know, take off and run more because he's got to hold the ball longer.
00:21:16Keep him holding that ball longer so that you flush them out eventually and then have
00:21:21that spy there to shadow him.
00:21:22That's I like that.
00:21:23Anything I can come up with.
00:21:25I like that for third down in particular because you do mention the scrambles have gone down.
00:21:29That's something, you know, our friend, colleague Phil Perry has noted Astrod Mayo about today
00:21:34saying, hey, if he's not scrambling as much, might you involve him in the QB run game?
00:21:37And I think that could really help in the red zone, but that's a separate topic.
00:21:40I think third down spy is a good idea.
00:21:42I think where I start on early downs is a lot more muddled rush, you know, like the
00:21:47old kind of contain rushing, you know, this don't get past the level of a quarterback
00:21:51because when you look at when he's doing his most damage, it's very often when he's creating
00:21:56and FTN fantasy had this chart that went up today where he's creating among quarterbacks,
00:22:00meaning you're outside the pocket and it's after your first read at the second highest
00:22:06rate in the league, meaning he's doing this more often than everybody else in the league,
00:22:09except for Jalen Hurts.
00:22:10And when he's doing this, he's fifth in EPA per play when he's created.
00:22:15So you heard Bill talk about this back in the day, you heard him say this even like
00:22:19last year, the year before, just keep him in the pocket.
00:22:22Like when he's his most dangerous is when he gets to play that backyard ball and play
00:22:26entirely on instinct and reflect.
00:22:28So I'm trying to keep him in there as best as possible.
00:22:30It doesn't mean he won't escape because I think the point about a spy is a good one.
00:22:34You can't play the whole game with a spy.
00:22:35I think that's my starting point is we'll disguise as best we can and rush with four,
00:22:41but in a kind of a muddled rush.
00:22:43So he keeps in there and doesn't do what he wants to do, which is often get to his right
00:22:46and then really hurt you either scrambling or scrambling to then throw.
00:22:50It's true.
00:22:51I love that.
00:22:52I love that number.
00:22:52I mean, there's some really cool stats out there on Drake May that highlight his athleticism
00:22:58is EPA while he while he's out of the pocket.
00:23:02That's pure athleticism.
00:23:03That's somebody making something out of nothing.
00:23:06And that's that that's that's that alone speaks to his special athletic gifts.
00:23:11Yeah, but mostly just best of best of luck.

00:24:26I asked you to be a consultant for the enemy.
00:24:28I'm going to bring you back.
00:24:29Patriots say, okay, we know the Dolphins are calling you, Ted.
00:24:33We're going to give you even more money than that.
00:24:35Help us with the 30th ranked defense in the league by DVOA.
00:24:40We are 31st.
00:24:41That's second worst in the league against the past.
00:24:45And we are 28th against the run and improvement, but still bottom five because the Patriots
00:24:50tackle well and they stink and you've called, you know, in private.
00:24:53And I've done the same thing in my column.
00:24:56Covington, an arrogant or stubborn play caller.
00:24:58So what makes you say that?
00:25:00And then B, what changes are you making to the defense given the talent available?
00:25:05Look, I don't like being saying, you know, being critical.
00:25:11I know how hard playing defense is and I've never met DeMarcus, but he seems like a good guy.
00:25:16But I got to, you know, if I see something, I try to shoot people straight.
00:25:20And that's exactly how I feel.
00:25:21I feel there is an ego.
00:25:25Let's just say an ego involved in the in the defensive play calling.
00:25:29And look, I mean, functionally, I understand why you blitz.
00:25:34Like, look, you don't have dominating pass rushers.
00:25:38And so you have to send maybe more guys to create pressure.
00:25:44But there's a smart way to do it and a dumb way to do it.
00:25:49And I wonder sometimes that I see here, I see all first year new head coach coaches,
00:25:55head coach, position coaches.
00:25:57DeMarcus Covington is a first year defensive coordinator.
00:26:00You know, this is this team, even though it was it was Tom Brady, you know, right behind
00:26:08Tom Brady was a culture of defense here and smart defense and situational defense.
00:26:15And what I feel like is at time, maybe this coach, you know, is trying to put his stamp
00:26:20on it.
00:26:20He wants to have a game plan that everyone around the league is talking about, you know,
00:26:25that it's going to impress everybody.
00:26:26And you can turn on that Chicago game from two weeks ago and you can sit there.
00:26:31And if I'm DeMarcus, I'm having a big cigar and I'm, you know, I'm having a couple of
00:26:36beers after that one, because it's that's how you want every game to go.
00:26:41The only problem is it was the Chicago Bears against their rookie quarterback who, you
00:26:46know what, Bill Belichick did the same thing.
00:26:49He feasted on young quarterbacks, you know, that were on bad coaching staffs with with
00:26:56his defense.
00:26:56He could do it, you know, like in his sleep.
00:26:59So that to me isn't that impressive.
00:27:01That's what we've done around here for forever.
00:27:03And so, you know, they don't, you know, so I always worry sometimes that you're that
00:27:10maybe, you know, DeMarcus is trying to make a name for himself, put his stamp on it.
00:27:14I kind of compared to how offensive coordinators back in the day when we played Mike Martz
00:27:19in the Super Bowl in 2001.
00:27:21You know, if Mike Martz, he didn't let his ego get in the way.
00:27:23If he just handed the ball off to Marshall Falk, because we were in basically dime and
00:27:27nickel the whole game, an average six yards of pop, he could have won that game.
00:27:31But no, no, no, no.
00:27:32It's the greatest show on turf.
00:27:33The whole world's watching.
00:27:34We got to throw it downfield and get, you know, our receivers heads knocked off.
00:27:40And just be stubborn about it.
00:27:42And I quite kind of offensive coordinator really flexing his, you know, hey, look how
00:27:50smart I am, my football acumen.
00:27:51You do that by coming up with cool play, you know, passing designs in place in the passing
00:27:56game, not in the running game.
00:27:58Same thing with the defensive coordinator.
00:27:59I think sometimes they try to make their mark with creative blitzing, disguising, being
00:28:05vertical, using guys, one position, one snap, the next position in their plans.
00:28:10OK, that's again, you can do that against the Chicago Bears.
00:28:14You can't do that against the Hall of Fame quarterback.
00:28:16That just doesn't that doesn't make sense.
00:28:18And so that was that to me.
00:28:22There's a lot of ego again, that that blitz call on second down the second play of the
00:28:27second half.
00:28:28You know what?
00:28:28Like, let's let's ease into the second half.
00:28:30There's no reason to take to me.
00:28:32That is such a risky call at that point in the field, one wrong move by Jonathan Jones
00:28:39and the guy is gone and you're doing it from second level.
00:28:43It made no sense at all.
00:28:44And so there's a lot of question marks with the defensive play calling.
00:28:50That is for sure.
00:28:51And so I have I've had issues with that all season long.
00:28:54And what do you do?
00:28:56I mean, you part of me thinks get good at just one group.
00:29:03All right.
00:29:04If you're having if you can't stop the run, excuse me, the pass in a base, get better
00:29:09at it, rep it, have your outside linebackers working jams, make sure that everyone knows
00:29:14at least one defense and a personnel group like inside and out.
00:29:19And so that when things get hairy, you at least can stop the bleeding pass and run with
00:29:25one group.
00:29:26Right now, they don't they don't have that.
00:29:28So I would I would really concentrate on that.
00:29:31I just think they're blitzing when you do blitz.
00:29:34Don't do it from second level anymore.
00:29:36You're not going to get there fast enough.
00:29:37You don't have the guys on the outside to cover that long.
00:29:41Make sure you execute them better.
00:29:42And on that second and seven blitz, that 69 yard touchdown to Cooper Cup, they ran
00:29:50twists on the edges.
00:29:51OK, that takes a split second longer when you run tea games on the edges.
00:29:58You know, when you have one, the outside, the inside guy going out and the outside guy
00:30:01going in that head, that makes it a tad bit longer before you get there.
00:30:06And it also muddies up the lanes for the guys blitzing from the second level.
00:30:10And so the play he had all day to pass and he had six guys to block seven.
00:30:15And so it was just a poorly, I thought, a poor decision to call that play.
00:30:19But it was really bad execution, too.
00:30:21So if you can't blitz and you can't make your blitzes impactful, stop doing it.
00:30:28Stop.
00:30:28Stop blitzing.
00:30:30I agree.
00:30:31I think the point about, OK, what are we good at?
00:30:34And let's just major in that is the right approach.
00:30:37Like, keep it simple.
00:30:38This is not a time when you are this bad against passing that bad against the run to say the
00:30:42answers are to do more and to do newer things.
00:30:45Double down on what you're good at.
00:30:46And again, we just said they're not good against either.
00:30:48But the personnel package that I think could kind of thread this needle is a three safety
00:30:54look where they did this very often with Miles Bryant, where, again, you've got lighter personnel.
00:31:01Yeah, yeah.
00:31:01And he would bounce between nickel and then safety depending on whatever kind of call
00:31:06they want.
00:31:07So that's a player that's able to tie those that the three corner nickel looks in the
00:31:12three safety nickel looks together based on whether you want to play to safety when he
00:31:16would rotate back.
00:31:17We don't play single high if he rotates down.
00:31:19Sometimes that was over a slot receiver.
00:31:21Sometimes it wasn't.
00:31:21But the point being, you kind of split the difference between the base where you can't
00:31:27defend the pass, but you have five defensive backs who can do that.
00:31:30And if you keep Kyle Duggar in the box plus Jalen Hawkins, and then I would use Jonathan
00:31:35Jones or Marcus Jones in this role, and they have but commit one or the other.
00:31:38I think Jonathan Jones is still a better outside corner than Marcus Jones.
00:31:41So let Marcus Jones have that role and keep him up high if you can.
00:31:44So Jalen Hawkins and Kyle Duggars closer to the box when you need to go single high, but
00:31:49made more three safety of that group.
00:31:50Because I just don't think even with Christian Barmore back, Ted, that they have the depth
00:31:54up front to withstand long drives against running teams or certainly the speed at the
00:32:00second level with four linebackers to cover receivers that you're just going to see in
00:32:05today's league.
00:32:06I like it.
00:32:06No, I like it.
00:32:07I like it.
00:32:07You know, especially I would love it if Gabriel Peppers was still active and playing for this
00:32:13team.
00:32:13Then it's just a little bit more beef.
00:32:15A guy will put his head in there.
00:32:18You know, Kyle Duggar will.
00:32:20But, you know, it just I hear you.
00:32:23That's interesting.
00:32:23I that's a good idea.
00:32:25And then as far as, you know, just kind of, you know, stopping the run.
00:32:28Look, can I just I gotta I gotta unfortunately call out one guy.
00:32:32Can we find a replacement for Danny Equality?
00:32:35I mean, God bless him.
00:32:36He does the best of what God gives him.
00:32:38But he's not a down in down out guy.
00:32:40You can't that guy gets pushed off the line, you know, on most most running plays where
00:32:46there's a double team on him.
00:32:47And so it's just there's there's a big time weakness to me at that right defensive tackle
00:32:52spot.
00:32:53So I don't know how you fix that.
00:32:56But that to me is a glaring kind of issue for this team.
00:32:59Yeah, it's, you know, on Danny Equality, because I said this before, and it blew my mind when
00:33:03it happened.
00:33:04He surpassed his single high, his single season career high for snaps played in a year
00:33:10against Tennessee.
00:33:12So week nine, half point of the season, he's going, I've played more snaps than I ever
00:33:16had before.
00:33:16He now has a bone bruise on his elbow, which isn't to excuse the play.
00:33:20This is just context of what's going on because he had to play more with Christian Barber
00:33:23out and Peppers is a good point.
00:33:24Like they didn't plan on losing guys like Bentley and Peppers, you know, for the entire
00:33:29season they have.
00:33:30They got to make do.
00:33:30And they played a lot of three safety before.
00:33:32I just think, too, that would also help solve.
00:33:34And you've seen the teams do this, especially the West Coast teams.
00:33:37They go tempo early against the Pats.
00:33:40Test that communication.
00:33:41Test your alignment.
00:33:42Make sure you're in the eyes are in the right place.
00:33:43So if you're sticking with that same personnel grouping, and it's just incumbent on, let's
00:33:47just stick with Marcus Jones.
00:33:48Christian Gonzalez, Jonathan Jones are outside Marcus Jones, and we're going to call for
00:33:52three corner nickel sets or concepts, you know, bump down.
00:33:56If we're calling three safety, the personnel is the same.
00:33:58You're just going to spin up top because he played safety in college.
00:34:01Got a little bit in the NFL.
00:34:02That's that's what I would like to see.
00:34:04We talked a lot about the defense, and let's go back to the offense for a second because
00:34:07you have an answer for this, and I'm going to lead off one thing that the Patriots are
00:34:12doing or not doing that the media and fans are just should be paying a little bit more
00:34:15attention to.
00:34:16What are we glossing over talking about?
00:34:18Drake May the run defense, the game plans, all this different stuff.
00:34:21Minors faster starts when you look at the second drive against L.A.
00:34:24Touchdown second drive against Chicago field goal 13 points in that first half opening
00:34:30drive missed field goal at Tennessee before that second drive touchdown against the Jets
00:34:33and an opening drive touchdown versus Jacksonville.
00:34:36So since week six, Ted, when Drake May came in and started quarterback, the Patriots are
00:34:41ninth in total EPA when passing in the first quarter.
00:34:45So first quarter passing their ninth in EPA, even better than that.
00:34:49And the shock me when they are running the ball in the first quarter, their fourth in
00:34:54EPA per play.
00:34:56Yeah, yeah, it's what happens after the script.
00:34:59When you get through the first 15, it's going to fall apart.
00:35:02But you needed faster starts.
00:35:04We talked about this at the beginning of the season.
00:35:06They had it against Cincinnati fast enough against Seattle to stay competitive.
00:35:10That's how they need to operate as of late, even in the losses.
00:35:14They're starting fast enough.
00:35:16Yeah, I love that, man.
00:35:17I love that stat.
00:35:18I look I can't believe you because you and I same brain just to kind of piggyback off
00:35:23of that there.
00:35:24So their their their highest scoring, their second highest scoring quarter is the first
00:35:29quarter.
00:35:29And I think it's I think you're right.
00:35:31I like that they do get off to decent start.
00:35:33So I mean, they've gone three now on the first opening drive, but then they've backed it
00:35:36up with a nice long drive to either field goal or or touchdown.
00:35:40And so they scored 24 points in the first quarter in the Drake May starts.
00:35:47But what I found interesting was how the game finished.
00:35:52So, you know, why is he why is it so fun to watch this team?
00:35:56It is they might not win games, but it feels like they're going to be in them at the end.
00:36:01And Drake may give you a chance to win.
00:36:03By far, their highest scoring quarter in the Drake May starts have been the fourth quarter.
00:36:08And so, you know, fast starts, strong finishes.
00:36:13That to me is kind of a good I like that that trend.
00:36:17I mean, you want to be great in every single quarter.
00:36:19But if you were to ask me, what are the most important quarters to be,
00:36:22you know, playing your best?
00:36:24I'd say the first and fourth.
00:36:26So that's the interesting.
00:36:27So what I you know what?
00:36:28I'm having a hard time with this question.
00:36:31It doesn't feel right to maybe pick one guy out.
00:36:34But I feel like Mike on Wayne was a big contract this offseason.
00:36:38You know, and look, I know it take, you know, offensive line is a,
00:36:42you know, it's a, you know, collective thing.
00:36:44But I just feel like he's been a huge disappointment.
00:36:47Now he is playing probably a little better.
00:36:48But boy, I thought the way Mike on Wayne, who started the season, I thought was terrible.
00:36:53I thought he was as big of a problem as everyone else on the offense line.
00:36:57And then another one just is kind of what the tight end group's doing.
00:37:01You know, it's like, OK, it's, you know, look, you know,
00:37:05the top receiver on the team is Hunter Henry.
00:37:07OK, a tight end.
00:37:08And two of the top four receivers on the team are tight ends.
00:37:11You know, Austin Hooper's in there at number four with 23 catches.
00:37:15That little personnel group, 12, and he broke it down.
00:37:1812 personnel is their money group.
00:37:20I mean, they have their best success running or throwing out of that group.
00:37:25So just 12, you know, we're not going back to 2011.
00:37:28This is not Bronc and Hernandez kind of stuff.
00:37:31But it's a poor man's version of it.
00:37:34Right.
00:37:35And so I think that's a very poor man.
00:37:39This man doesn't even have a Folgers can.
00:37:41That's how poor he is with the split.
00:37:44Hooper jersey.
00:37:44Yeah, that's right.
00:37:46So that's that's the those are the only couple of things I really thought
00:37:49of that people really maybe aren't paying enough attention to.
00:37:52Yeah.
00:37:53And there's not a whole lot to unearth at this stage of the season.
00:37:56Right.
00:37:56It's week 12.
00:37:56You know what the team is.
00:37:58You know who you're playing.
00:37:59Quarterbacks get talked about a ton.
00:38:01Receivers, coaching, all that different stuff.
00:38:03But like this, this is what we're here for.
00:38:04I think that's a good point because Austin Hooper might miss Sunday's game.
00:38:08Again, we don't have the injury report yet.
00:38:09They'll still have two more days of practice.
00:38:11They'll travel and fly.
00:38:12We might not know until Saturday if they rule him out or rule anything about it.
00:38:15But he was limping after the game against the Rams, and we'll see what Miami brings.
00:38:20All right.
00:38:21If you were going to Miami like I am, I would encourage you to do one thing.
00:38:24It's not go to the beach.
00:38:25It's not grab beers.
00:38:26It's not going really anywhere except for game time because they will have the lowest
00:38:30price guarantee for any tickets, whether that's University of Miami, it's Pat's
00:38:33Dolphins, or if you want to go to Pat's Colts when the Patriots come back or even the Celtics
00:38:37who ended the undefeated start for the Cavs Tuesday night at the Garden.
00:38:41Awesome game.
00:38:42If you want to go to any of those games or concerts or shows, go to game time where they
00:38:46have a new feature.

00:38:55It's up front with the lowest price guarantee.
00:38:57And if you find a lower price elsewhere, don't call me, call game time, and they'll give

00:39:23It's game time.
00:39:24All right.
00:39:24It is actually quickly time for Ted.
00:39:27We have two listener questions I did not prepare you with, and then we're going to get through
00:39:32a very speedy Pats Dolphins preview and then make some game picks.
00:39:36So question number one.
00:39:38I like this one.
00:39:39And if you don't have an answer, I will buy you some time.
00:39:42Carlos.
00:39:43Hey, Andrew, is there a second half of the season sleeper that you could see breaking
00:39:47out or earning a bigger role on either side of the ball?
00:39:51Carlos's vote is for Alex Austin.
00:39:54Corner just got activated off IR, but he thinks that's wishful thinking.
00:39:58I don't think that's so bad.
00:39:59What do you think?
00:40:00Second half sleeper.
00:40:01Look, can I in this to me?
00:40:03This would be one of the things I would if I could change going forward on offense or
00:40:09defense.
00:40:09What I would change on offense is I would I would play more Marcus Jones on offense.
00:40:16He was out there for a couple of plays.
00:40:17He got the ball.
00:40:18I just put the ball in Marcus Jones hands is exciting to me.
00:40:23And there's something there I would I would I would slowly integrate him more and more
00:40:28into the offense.
00:40:29I think he just with that, with his explosive ability, with Drake Mays athleticism, I think
00:40:36that's something that you can you can really kind of really support.
00:40:41So they would be that would be my number one thing, put Marcus Jones on offense more and
00:40:46build packages with him.
00:40:48And so, you know, look, you got you got the screen game kind of hit.
00:40:53If the running game can just give you something, just give just, you know, just don't
00:40:59be terrible at running a football.
00:41:00Get some positive on our first down.
00:41:02It is opens up so many other avenues for play action, for cool screens.
00:41:07I mean, a missile screens, bubble screens, tight end screens, traditional screens, and
00:41:11then add like a Marcus Jones on a reverse jet sweep type stuff.
00:41:15All right.
00:41:15Now you're now you're making, you know, something out of nothing here.
00:41:19Now you're throwing in some things that I think, you know, won't make this offense as
00:41:25predictable as it is.
00:41:26And I think there is some predictability in the play calling on offense as well.
00:41:29My answer is your old position.
00:41:32So you only talk to miss the first half of the season of PUP.
00:41:35I think they want to make it work with him.
00:41:37He got a two year deal for agency, and it's not like, you know, if he doesn't play a whole
00:41:41lot this year, he's guaranteed a roster spot next year.
00:41:42There's not many guarantees in there, but like he's a fast flowing sideline to sideline
00:41:48guy.
00:41:48They just put Curtis Jacobs on IR who was a rookie behind him who might have seen some
00:41:52snaps.
00:41:53Obviously, that won't for the next four weeks.
00:41:54So the opportunity is there.
00:41:56The motivation, a guy that did not play in the first half of the season, by definition,
00:41:59it has to do more in the second half.
00:42:02That would that would be my answer.
00:42:03Kurt, what can Jalen Polk do to gain momentum heading into year two?
00:42:07OK, so we've already given up.
00:42:08Oh, no, he hasn't.
00:42:09During the remainder of the season.
00:42:10So what can Jalen Polk do to salvage what's left of this season?
00:42:14Or is it salvageable at all?
00:42:16What would you tell him?
00:42:18Oh, you know what?
00:42:20And I would I would maybe just is this might sound ridiculous.
00:42:25But just get him, have him like challenge him about being a blocker in a run game.
00:42:31Like, let's just get you let's get you like in a mindset, you know, and then you kind
00:42:37of work off of that, you know, quick little curl routes.
00:42:41But like, just, you know, like, you know, can you block for us?
00:42:44We want to buy.
00:42:45We need you're a tough.
00:42:46I don't know.
00:42:46I mean, he's kind of small.
00:42:47Is he small?
00:42:48I don't know.
00:42:48He kind of looks small to me, but I don't know.
00:42:50Just can you can you get him involved in the game if it's not?
00:42:54You know, start small, like what you're talking about, like simple stuff.
00:42:57Yeah, just, you know, you know, kind of, you know, and I would, you know, maybe design
00:43:04a play or two early in the game where it's a catch and run situation, you know, maybe
00:43:12like a missile screen or a bubble screen, something to kind of get him going as opposed
00:43:17to something down the field in traffic, you know, where he hears footsteps and where it's
00:43:23just, you know, you know, something something outside the numbers.
00:43:27I don't know.
00:43:28It's just it's not a good chance he's going to catch it when you throw it to him.
00:43:31So, you know, kind of like the touchdown pass he had a couple of weeks ago.
00:43:36It was just a it was a play designed for him with the hopes that he'd be as open as he
00:43:42was.
00:43:42And he was and he caught it.
00:43:43So something things like that, just that you feel are high success rate type plays to get
00:43:51him going, especially early in the game.
00:43:53Yeah, I like it.
00:43:54I, you know, it comes to mind is the old coaching trick of the coach shows a struggling player
00:44:00film of his old self, like having a great game.
00:44:03You're like, hey, this is what it looks like, you know, and sometimes it's just you get
00:44:06so mired in like what you're screwing up and little details that you consume by all of
00:44:10the struggles that you just need to get pulled out for a second by your own performance and
00:44:14just watch it again.
00:44:15I like he would have to go back to training camp for that kind of tape or obviously back
00:44:20to College of Washington where he started.
00:44:22But I think that would be my my answer.
00:44:25But even, you know, even Washington, man, like, you know what?
00:44:28And that's that's on coaches.
00:44:30That's that's when the coaches got to be creative and maybe, you know, that it should be.
00:44:35That's not a that's a good suggestion.
00:44:36And that to me is more like, hey, as a coach, put together a highlight tape of Jalen Polk.
00:44:42You know what?
00:44:42Have him come in early or after practice after he's already showered.
00:44:46Be like, bro, just I'm just going to I'm going to leave the room.
00:44:49I'm going to shut the door.
00:44:51I want you to watch this and and, you know, that kind of stuff.
00:44:55Players players respond to that.
00:44:56That's on the coaches to try and that their job isn't just to tell them where to line
00:45:00up.
00:45:00Their job is to to motivate them and get put a carrot in front of them.
00:45:04So you get the best out of them.
00:45:06That's part of their job, too.
00:45:07No doubt motivate and organize.
00:45:09All right.
00:45:10On to Miami.
00:45:11They're four and six, 24th best team in the league by DV away.
00:45:15Obviously, to his injury is interferes with how good they really are.
00:45:19They're probably better than that.
00:45:20If he plays the whole season, he did not.
00:45:22They are 25th in offense.
00:45:23The ranking again would be higher to it was available the whole season.
00:45:2621st in defense, 16th on special teams to it came back four weeks ago.
00:45:31This is what happened.
00:45:32Then they lost 28 to 27 at home versus Arizona.
00:45:36Go to Buffalo.
00:45:36Lose a close one, 30 to 27.
00:45:39Go to Los Angeles.
00:45:40Beat the Rams on Monday night, 23 to 15.
00:45:43And last weekend when another one versus the Raiders, 34 to 19.
00:45:47What you're seeing over the stretch.
00:45:48More pressure from a good defense.
00:45:50Kaleas Campbell, who I don't think overlapped with you, but there's one guy in the league.
00:45:55My guy's amazing.
00:45:56That guy's amazing.
00:45:57He's he's played for 30 years and he's he's a big he's a big boy.
00:46:02That's you know, that's a big body to take care of, man.
00:46:05I mean, Kaleas Campbell, he's one of the like he's a guy you stand next to and you
00:46:10you feel so insignificant.
00:46:11He's a massive, massive man.
00:46:13It's a great point.
00:46:14Yeah, I know.
00:46:15That's impressive, right?
00:46:16Him and Mercedes Lewis, man.
00:46:18Those two guys, they're still playing.
00:46:21Oh, 506 draft for Mercedes.
00:46:24So you guys, I think overlap.
00:46:28My last year officially was 2004.
00:46:30I retired in the summer of 05.
00:46:32OK, so my last year was the Super Bowl year against Philly, our third Super Bowl.
00:46:37There you go.
00:46:38So Kaleas Campbell still doing it.
00:46:39He leads in with four sacks.
00:46:41I mentioned to a completing.
00:46:43This is best in League 73.4 against 73.4% of his passes for 1443 yards, nine touchdowns,
00:46:51four picks.
00:46:52This offense is no longer the giant big play explosive attack.
00:46:56This is very much a success rate.
00:46:59Steady Eddie offense, and they're just as good at it.
00:47:01Devon H.
00:47:02And they're running back leading rusher and receiver when you go by total receptions
00:47:06because Tyree kill is dealing with hand injury.
00:47:07He's having games where he gets like seven catches and only goes for 61 yards.
00:47:11But again, it works.
00:47:12They stay on schedule.
00:47:13It was exceptionally accurate.
00:47:15So we're going to go with the three to one, three matchups, two keys, one wildcard thought,
00:47:19which in this case is going to be an old story.
00:47:21And we'll get out of here.
00:47:22OK, two matchups from you.
00:47:24You're going to pass the offense of this is going to come down to this matchup or that
00:47:28one.
00:47:28What is the this?
00:47:29What is the that?
00:47:30All right, maybe I don't know.
00:47:30I hope you're OK with the answer I came up with, but I'm going to make it very, very
00:47:34simple.
00:47:35This to me is is a game where it can come down to really coaching.
00:47:39Like I thought last week's game, like you see good coaching from the Rams.
00:47:44Like if you watch football long enough, you know what to look for.
00:47:47Like the way that the Dolphins on offense were out leveraging the Patriots with their
00:47:52motions and using fast motions.
00:47:54And you can see those little short burst motions were screwing up.
00:47:58It was really kind of getting the head of the Patriots defense.
00:48:00And and they would they would they would use motion to get mismatches and get the Patriots
00:48:06defense out leveraged so that they were easy kind of throws to make.
00:48:10You know, they choose this one.
00:48:11There's an area where no one is because they were able to out leverage them by good coaching
00:48:15and putting guys in the right place to kind of succeed.
00:48:18So this to me, this is a big the Dolphins remind me a little bit of the Rams stylistically,
00:48:23you know, kind of.
00:48:25Right.
00:48:26And so from it, you got to you have a good quarterback and two with a great offensive
00:48:31mind and Mike McDaniel.
00:48:32You got a Hall of Fame quarterback in Matthew Stafford with a with a great offensive mind
00:48:37and Sean McVay.
00:48:38So and so, you know, to me, it's going to come down to coaching Mike McDaniel versus
00:48:45DeMarcus Covington.
00:48:46There was a lot of coaching kind of what I thought if you from a schematic standpoint,
00:48:52watching football, you know, there were defensive issues around coaching last week against the
00:48:59Rams, you know, based on, you know, questionable times to blitz.
00:49:04Why are you blitzing at the rate that you were you were blitzing?
00:49:07Why were you playing Christian Gonzalez on the boundary and not just simply putting him
00:49:12on their best player?
00:49:14Why didn't you make adjustments after you had a game plan that you thought was going
00:49:18to work?
00:49:18And when it wasn't working, you know, you kept going back to why didn't you make any
00:49:22adjustments?
00:49:23So it's going to be the same type of dynamic in this game.
00:49:26Andrew, it's going to be coaching on coaching.
00:49:29So Mike McDaniel versus Covington.
00:49:31And then I'm going to go to the other side.
00:49:33I think you can almost say the same thing on the other side, AVP versus Anthony Weaver.
00:49:37You know, the Miami Dolphins defense is starting to play a little bit better.
00:49:40But don't look now.
00:49:42The New England Patriots offense is starting to play a little bit better.
00:49:44And so you're starting to see some more creative play calling from from Alex Van Pelt.
00:49:51Hey, what do you know?
00:49:52They get they get down to the, you know, down to the goal line, but then they can't punch
00:49:56it in.
00:49:57What is Alex Van Pelt going to do to combat the issues they've had in the red zone?
00:50:01What what creativity can he come up with?
00:50:03And so, you know, and then the same thing for, you know, Anthony Weaver on the on the
00:50:07Dolphins defense.
00:50:08I just think it'll be a cat and mouse game from a coaching standpoint from both both
00:50:13sides of of the line.
00:50:15And I think that's what makes this kind of a fun, fun, you know, game to to kind of get
00:50:20to watch on Sunday.
00:50:22And it almost happened last Sunday against Rams where you're right.
00:50:26And there were a lot of motions that reminded me of Miami.
00:50:28And I'm like, oh, they steal that from the Dolphins.
00:50:31And like McVeigh and McDaniel come from the same tree, obviously.
00:50:33But it was, you know, partly like that cheap motion.
00:50:36But it would just be to get one receiver in these 12 personnel sets motion across into
00:50:42a twins formation.
00:50:42But he would go outside of the near side receiver.
00:50:46And what that did was widen out the corner that was on that side.
00:50:49And the guy who now became the slot would just run a little stop route.
00:50:52And you're like, it's zone.
00:50:54It creates some space.
00:50:54And I'm like, Miami does that all the time.
00:50:56All the time.
00:50:57And it's with those two yards after catch player.
00:50:58So I think it's a good point.
00:51:00The thing that opens almost happened Sunday but did not is the Patriots almost won despite
00:51:05being outcoached.
00:51:06In my opinion, to your point, that cannot happen on Sunday.
00:51:10They stink in Miami.
00:51:12This is their bigger underdogs than they were at home against the Rams on Sunday.
00:51:17They need to at least come to a draw against those guys who, again, I think McDaniel and
00:51:20Weaver are doing better as the season goes along.
00:51:22You need to at least, again, have a draw or ideally, ideally, I'll coach them for your
00:51:28team to win.
00:51:28The matchup I have is on field.
00:51:30John O.
00:51:31Smith, old pal John O.
00:51:32Smith broke out for 101 yards against the Raiders last week.
00:51:36Granted, the Raiders are worse than stink.
00:51:38They suck.
00:51:39But Kyle Duggar, even though he's back, we've seen opposing offensive coordinators kind
00:51:44of pick on him in man to man coverage for years, even in the red zone.
00:51:47And whether they got completed or not, they're still trying.
00:51:50So whether it's him or Jalen Hawkins or Del Pettis, an undrafted rookie who gave up that
00:51:55first touchdown to Cooper Cup, I expect the Dolphins to go after them in this kind of
00:51:59more dink and dunk fashion with their offense through throws to guys like John O.
00:52:03Smith, who, again, are not going to run 40 yards down the field but can still function
00:52:08in this yards after catch type of offense.
00:52:10And then just to follow up, look, the Patriots secondary has not tackled well for most of
00:52:16the season.
00:52:17It's been a big issue.
00:52:18And they're smaller guys.
00:52:20You know, that that catch and run those run teams, you know, they give the Patriots secondary
00:52:26fits.
00:52:26So it's it's to me, it's not the best matchup, you know?
00:52:29Yeah, they have the ability to strike fast, but they can also kind of, you know, I think
00:52:35attack what was one of your biggest weaknesses, which I think is secondary tackling.
00:52:39Yep.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:40My key, we go three matchups, two keys.
00:52:42It's very simple.
00:52:44Just get a freaking takeaway at one in the last five weeks.
00:52:50Can we get to two, please?
00:52:51That's it.
00:52:51Is that yours?
00:52:52That's my number one.
00:52:53Can we just can we can we you're saying just give me one takeaway.
00:52:57Pardon me.
00:52:58Can you just win the turnover battle?
00:53:00Can you just, I don't know, maybe be or draw at least give me a draw.
00:53:05You don't even have to win.
00:53:06Make it a draw.
00:53:07And I'd be happy.
00:53:08That's that's what I had to.
00:53:09But it's so it's so blatantly obvious that they are struggling in that department.
00:53:14It's the most boring key.
00:53:15It's the statistic most closely correlated with winning.
00:53:19And after that, it's explosive plays.
00:53:21And a couple of things are close.
00:53:22But I'm sorry.
00:53:24You just need to do better than one takeaway in five games or else we will see what we've
00:53:28seen close losses that you're asking your rookie quarterback to drag it back because
00:53:31your defense wasn't good enough.
00:53:32All right.
00:53:33We do a wild card thought this is supposed to be something adjacent to the game and not
00:53:37X's and O's out matchups, not keys.
00:53:39And I have stripped your freedom on the wild card thought I said, Ted, I want an old school
00:53:43Pat's Dolphins story from your playing days.
00:53:45And you can go whatever direction you want with this.
00:53:48You know, there's some great memories of my rookie year.
00:53:52I played the I started as a rookie.
00:53:55My first game as a pro was against the Cleveland Browns.
00:53:57We won in a kind of a last play.
00:54:00It was exciting kind of in, but it didn't hold like real strong memories with me.
00:54:04But the second week we played the Dolphins.
00:54:06And Dan Marino's it was the quarterback and they had a running back run off tackle and
00:54:11Dan didn't like the way he hit the hole.
00:54:13And he ripped that running back a new one.
00:54:16And I remember standing there almost in the Dolphins huddle.
00:54:20I was like, I couldn't believe I was watching Dan Marino undress his own player.
00:54:25That was a huge welcome to the NFL moment.
00:54:27I'll never forget.
00:54:28And then also, I was part of something something that happens against the Dolphins that none
00:54:34of us had ever seen.
00:54:36I split the helmet of the left guard Jamie Nails helmet in two pieces in the game against
00:54:42the Dolphins in December of 2003.
00:54:45And so that with all the linebackers, that is one of the core stories you'll ever hear
00:54:49them tell is me splitting the helmet of Jamie Nails.
00:54:53I had nicknames from the Dolphins and the Bills.
00:54:57Cement Head Ted and Ted the Head.
00:55:00And so but that that splitting of the helmet, you can find it online.
00:55:04It's a cool video of it literally just falling into two pieces.
00:55:08So that was those are two of my biggest Miami Dolphins memories.
00:55:11I love it.
00:55:12I have to go back and watch that 0-3 game because everyone remembers Teddy, you know,
00:55:15strutting into the end zone on that pick to seal the 12-0 win.
00:55:18Snow goes up in the air, beat the Dolphins.
00:55:21Great, great memory.
00:55:21All right, you've been more than gracious with your time.
00:55:24We'll get you out of here on this a game pick.
00:55:25I'm going to lead off.
00:55:27Everything says the Patriots will lose on Sunday.
00:55:30History says it.
00:55:31The spread says it.
00:55:32The talent, the coaching as of late.
00:55:35F that.
00:55:36This is a new era to me.
00:55:37I think this is the game that Drake May closes at the end, maybe not on the last drive,
00:55:41but in the last five minutes, all the ghosts, everything about Miami.
00:55:45It's not even going to be that hot out.
00:55:46It's not going to be loud out as Gerard Mayo called out Dolphins fans today.
00:55:49Drake May goes in.
00:55:50The Patriots win 21-20.
00:55:53I love your optimism, but I wish I could go there.
00:55:55No, I just defense scares the hell out of me.
00:55:58So I'm down on the defense.
00:55:59I have been for most of the year.
00:56:02I was excited about the Chicago game.
00:56:04But at the same time, I knew that that was a team you could do that to.
00:56:08So I just don't think our defense is going to hang in there with us.
00:56:13And so I feel like score, I don't know, can you hold them to 21 points?
00:56:20I could see maybe Drake getting more than 21.
00:56:23I just don't have trust in this defense to do it.
00:56:26So I got Miami kind of winning in the same fashion, almost like the Rams game, 28-23,
00:56:31something like that.
00:56:31I think Drake is going to get his, but I don't think it's going to be enough to overcome
00:56:36the issues and the problems that defense, I think, is going to inevitably have.
00:56:42Yeah, I totally get it.
00:56:43I think you're going to have a lot of company picking Miami, and I totally get why.
00:56:46All right, Marcus Jones is coming up.
00:56:48We have a four-minute drill with the third-year defensive back slash ball carrier.
00:56:53Zebra 25 is the name of his play I heard against the Rams.
00:56:56Maybe they'll run it again Sunday.
00:56:57If not, we will have Ted Johnson back much sooner than we did this week.
00:57:00I really appreciate you spending some time here, but it's always great hanging out with you.
00:57:03Bye, buddy.
00:57:04Good seeing you, Andrew.
00:57:05All right, another four-minute drill.
00:57:06Marcus Jones, I don't say this often, but there are certain interviews,
00:57:09even though you and I haven't chatted a whole lot,
00:57:11that I look forward to a little bit more than the rest
00:57:13because we got a lot of anonymous questions for teammates here.
00:57:16So I'm going to start the clock.
00:57:17We go.
00:57:17We can't run out the clock.
00:57:18We try to get through as many questions as we can.
00:57:20You ready?
00:57:20Let's get it.
00:57:21Let's get it.
00:57:21All right.
00:57:22Clock starts.
00:57:23Number one, if you could hit any teammate every single day in practice, who would that teammate be?
00:57:28Uh, I love Mandre, but I'll say Mandre.
00:57:32Number two, you're an artist, musical artist.
00:57:34Give us your best bar, the lyric you're proudest of the most in all your songs.
00:57:40In my song?
00:57:43That's a hard question right there.
00:57:46Oh my goodness.
00:57:48It has to be my song?
00:57:49Yes.
00:57:52See you dancing in a crowded room.
00:57:53I'm just going to say that because that's the first lyric of one of my songs, Make It Right.
00:57:56So that's the one that I could think of right now.
00:57:58All right.
00:57:58Best receiver you've ever faced?
00:58:00Devontae Adams.
00:58:02All right.
00:58:02I heard Marcus Jones hates to be wrong in meetings, about plays, anything, but you're
00:58:07a little quieter now when you object.
00:58:09How did you object as a rookie when you're pushing back and you knew you were wrong,
00:58:12but you just didn't want to admit it?
00:58:14It was just one of those situations to where, uh, you know, you learn to just get coached.
00:58:19It wasn't to where like, I didn't like to be wrong.
00:58:21It was just like, I want to explain why I did it.
00:58:24But sometimes, you know, you don't even need to explain.
00:58:27So you just need to go ahead and just take the coaching and just, you know, be quiet.
00:58:30Yeah.
00:58:31That's not how all teammates remember it, but you're on the pod level.
00:58:33We'll trust you here.
00:58:34Now, uh, your dad in your house, are you the good cop or the bad cop?
00:58:39Um, I'm the bad cop.
00:58:41So whenever I get to see him and everything, uh, usually I'm the person saying no most
00:58:46of the time.
00:58:46So yeah.
00:58:47All right.
00:58:48Uh, from an anonymous teammate, would you do a song?
00:58:50Would you collab with, uh, Kendrick Bourne?
00:58:52Oh, with KB?
00:58:53Yeah.
00:58:54Yeah, I would.
00:58:55I would.
00:58:55I would.
00:58:56It's in due time.
00:58:57So.
00:58:58Okay.
00:58:58What's your favorite play call?
00:59:00Favorite play call?
00:59:02Um, give us the words, how it spit out.
00:59:04Could be offense, defense, special teams.
00:59:05Okay.
00:59:06Um, I'll say defense.
00:59:08Uh, most of the time say cover too.
00:59:10Uh, I love whenever that call happens because most of the time we get to play the flat.
00:59:14So that's less energy we have to use.
00:59:16So you're looking to trap like a little quick out.
00:59:18You're looking for those, anything you can get your hands on.
00:59:19Whenever I could make the quarterback.
00:59:20Yeah.
00:59:21All right.
00:59:22In the past, when Marcus Jones broke up with someone, how would he deliver the news?
00:59:27Oh, uh, you can never do it over the phone.
00:59:30So I'm not going to say over the phone.
00:59:32Uh, how would I do it?
00:59:35I would prefer over the phone, but I can't do that.
00:59:38So, uh, basically in person and just basically tell them, Hey, uh, this, this isn't working
00:59:44out.
00:59:45It's not you as me, something like that.
00:59:47So something like that.
00:59:48So cliche, but like, at least you made the effort, like neutral site, you go to a coffee
00:59:52shop or like some bar or a restaurant.
00:59:55Yeah.
00:59:55It would have to be somewhere like that.
00:59:57Yeah.
00:59:57Okay.
00:59:58All right.
00:59:59You texted AVP.
01:00:00We just learned like an hour ago, uh, two weeks ago saying, Hey, like, you can give
01:00:04me the ball.
01:00:04You know, I can play some offense a little late in the week.
01:00:06Cause that was before the Chicago game.
01:00:08He looks up your plays from your rookie year and says, I'll get you in against the Rams.
01:00:11You go in on zebra 25.
01:00:13Can you tell us to the best of your knowledge what you texted AVP?
01:00:16What was the pitch you made to play some offenses here?
01:00:19Um, it was basically one of those situations to where I told him, I was just like, Hey,
01:00:23like, you know, I've played offense before.
01:00:25It wasn't like, get me the ball.
01:00:27It was just, it was more like, Hey, I'm open to offense.
01:00:30You know what I mean?
01:00:30So that ended up happening.
01:00:32And then I ended up getting some office snaps.
01:00:34How long did you be thinking about that text?
01:00:36Um, yeah, it hasn't been, I mean, I'll probably say since the off season of like, you know,
01:00:44you're a patient man.
01:00:45Yeah.
01:00:45I'm a patient guy.
01:00:46So whenever it came down to it, I was just like, Hey, I'm open to it.
01:00:49You know, if you're open to it, so.
01:00:51All right.
01:00:51We got 30 seconds left.
01:00:52Two more questions.
01:00:52Post apocalypse.
01:00:54Everyone's living in the wild, fighting for themselves.
01:00:55Who's the teammate least equipped to survive on their own?
01:01:00Oh, least equipped.
01:01:01I'm gonna say KB.
01:01:03He gets roasted on this show more than any person alive.
01:01:06I'm gonna definitely say KB just off the fact of like, I don't think he gonna know what
01:01:10to do at all.
01:01:11So.
01:01:12All right.
01:01:12Last one.
01:01:13Least favorite media question.
01:01:14Two and a half seasons in the NFL.
01:01:16You chat with us a fair amount.
01:01:16Least favorite media question.
01:01:18Um, I would say it would have to be, uh, when you guys usually ask what happened on the
01:01:26play, whenever someone scores or something like that.
01:01:29And then you guys kind of already know what you want to hear from our perspective.
01:01:32It's like, I mean, it's football, you know what I mean?
01:01:34People don't score as good players on the other team and everything like that as well.
01:01:37So, uh, sometimes you give us too much credit.
01:01:39We don't know.
01:01:40We need to ask you, but other times I'll tell you, you're right.
01:01:42Marcus Jones, four minute drill.
01:01:44Appreciate you, man.
