00:25Marcel-Louis Jacques from ESPN tweeted out this little factoid.
00:30Malik Willis' 13.6 air yards per attempt in Sunday's loss marked the highest single-game average
00:42by a Dolphins QB since week two of the 2019 season, which was?
00:52Ryan Fitzpatrick.
00:53No.
00:55Josh Rosen?
00:57Happy Rosh Hashanah.
00:58It was indeed Josh Rosen.
01:02I was excited until you told me the comparison.
01:05That just made me just slinging the ball down the field.
01:07It's pretty remarkable that they haven't had that many air yard attempt per attempt since 2019 in the game.
01:20It shows you what we've been dealing with for five years with Tua.
01:25I mean, this, again, you know, lipstick on a pig.
01:29But Malik Willis, I mean, first of all, I didn't think he looked bad.
01:34No.
01:34I'm not telling you, he set the world on fire.
01:38He didn't look bad.
01:39The way he scampered in for a touchdown, and I got to thank Solana on that one.
01:44Solana is the one who put in my head Malik Willis anytime touchdown.
01:48Right?
01:49Weren't you the one who said it?
01:50That was me.
01:51I bet that yesterday.
01:52It was plus 300 or plus 325 when I put it in.
01:56Plus 325.
01:57That was something we don't see here in Miami.
02:01So, I like that.
02:02I like the fact that there were, what was the, what did I just say the stat was for?
02:0713.2.
02:0913.6.
02:1013.6.
02:11Okay.
02:13We've talked about Malik Willis' evaluation.
02:16Solana actually brought it up in the last segment.
02:17There's two simple things to a pass completion, time and separation.
02:24Malik has limited time, and our receivers have limited separation.
02:28Well, and accuracy.
02:30Yeah, and accuracy.
02:31But it's a lot of, it's, there's a lot playing against his, his completion percentage on this team.
02:36Yeah, and, and usually you have a receiving core that's got, I mean, Malik Washington is
02:43your most veteran receiver.
02:45Is that correct?
02:46That's got to be correct, right?
02:46Correct.
02:47And there were a couple times where you're like, that's WR1?
02:52You know what I mean?
02:53Well, Caleb Douglas is wide receiver one, and he proved it yesterday.
02:56I get it.
02:57I get it.
02:57And by the end of the season, I don't think there will be any question.
03:00But right now, you need a guy like Malik Washington to show out and, and be a veteran or whatever.
03:06It just is what it is.
03:07But there's, I, I, I, I was tickled when Malik Willis took off and was able to get into the
03:14end zone.
03:14Because that really is an element that we just haven't seen.
03:17You see Baker Mayfield yesterday?
03:19He was getting destroyed.
03:20I mean, he is, but he runs, man.
03:25I bet he's rushing over as well.
03:27I do that every game and that one cashed as well.
03:29Like, um, he, like he'll throw terrible picks.
03:34He'll get hit in ways that a quarterback shouldn't get hit.
03:38But man, he's a pleasure to watch.
03:40And for so many last, you know, five years or whatever, we've watched too and said, wouldn't
03:44you love to have a guy like Baker Mayfield out there?
03:47Malik Willis showed you, like he can scamper.
03:52It's a 305.
03:54Dale.
03:54Dale.
03:55Dale.
03:55God bless.
03:56Dale.
03:59Dale.
04:00Thank you, Jimmy the bed bug.
04:01You're welcome.
04:03305 is sponsored by Miami Lake Chevrolet, where you walk in as a customer and drive out his
04:07family.
04:09Yeah.
04:09And somebody text a running, a running quarterback is when you're in trouble.
04:13Not, not totally.
04:15Cause you can roll them out.
04:16Like seeing your, he has athleticism.
04:18I don't think they moved around enough, like run these wide zones and let them roll out
04:22and create time where he doesn't have to worry about one of these guards or tackles
04:25getting run over by somebody, move them around, run him away from wherever Max Crosby was.
04:30I was surprised they didn't move him more.
04:31Yeah.
04:32I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see him on the, on the run a little
04:35bit more, or at the very least, you know, a couple of bootleg actions, Crowder, I guess
04:40it all comes down to the fact that the dolphins couldn't run the ball.
04:42Like they were weak from the point of attack, just very weak from the point of attack.
04:46So they couldn't run the ball.
04:47And then once that gets taken away, Crowder, especially when that's your number one weapon,
04:52you're, you're fighting a crazy uphill battle on top of the fact that you're down two touchdowns
04:56or whatever, trying to chop wood and get back into the game.
04:59So I like, I came away from that Hawk saying, okay, Malik looked fine, but I think he with
05:09better weaponry and a run game couldn't look like serviceable, right?
05:16Like he could look serviceable.
05:18It's hard.
05:18It's hard to tell.
05:20As Crowder just said, when you don't have a ton of protection and you don't have a ton
05:24of separation from your receivers, it's kind of hard to tell.
05:27You saw one element of the game though, the, the escapability element.
05:32And that was there.
05:33That was, even though he got sacked several times, you know, again, I'm like, it's just
05:38hard to tell because they're so devoid of talent in so many areas, but it was what it
05:46was.
05:47I look at it and I'm like, yeah, I didn't feel like sometimes you see a quarterback back
05:52there and you're like, holy mackerel.
05:54Like, do you watch Deshaun Watson?
05:56Oh man, that was rough.
05:59I mean, you can watch a quarterback sometimes and go, yeah, they don't have great pieces
06:02around them.
06:03And yeah, the team is suspect and whatever.
06:07He looked awful.
06:09Awful.
06:09Like you're watching it and you're like, that guy has no business being in the game.
06:14By the way, happy birthday, Deshaun Watson.
06:1631 today.
06:19Rough birthday night.
06:20Creep.
06:21What a creep.
06:22If you want to get him a, ah, whatever.
06:27But, but no, so a lot of the answer, the thing about, I get it where you can't run the
06:31ball.
06:31Why are they going to respect this play action?
06:33Just the extra time it gets while you're, while he's moving, where it's going to be a
06:37tight end at two yards past the line of scrimmage.
06:39They might get four yards.
06:40The corner comes up, cuts him.
06:42He falls on his head.
06:42But just to create the movement side of it, can get some lanes open in the middle.
06:47Just, I don't know how to answer it.
06:49I just don't want him sitting in a pocket that is totally crushed around him in a second
06:53and a half.
06:54Yeah.
06:54But, but also just punch your mic.
06:59I was angry.
07:00But also Malik, no one to throw the damn ball away because two of those five sacks yesterday,
07:06he, he just put himself in a situation where he, he was going to take a sack.
07:11And that was frustrating because he throw the ball away, live to fight another down.
07:15It is what it is.
07:16Maybe it's just my PTSD with Tua.
07:18Like maybe, or I'm like, Hey, just get rid of it.
07:21Why are you taking the sack?
07:22And Malik can get hit and it's fine.
07:24But he also put his offense at a disadvantage by giving up those yards.
07:29It was just one of those situations where, Hey, you throw the ball away and you're going
07:34to be all right.
07:34You know?
07:35And what I wouldn't mind seeing is, I know you said just from the jump, they just couldn't
07:39get anything going in the run game.
07:41I'm still a believer in Devon H and is your offensive weapon.
07:46So just get the ball in his hands.
07:48Just get the ball in his hands.
07:49Even if it seems like it's not working at some point, you feel like he's going to be able
07:54to break one.
07:54At some point, he's going to be able to juke someone out and create something that's not
07:58there.
07:59So I would have liked to have seen the ball get in Devon H and his hands more, whether
08:03it's a screen pass, a fake or something direct snap, even just get the ball in Devon H and
08:10his hands.
08:10The problem is you can't even use them as a decoy because Ollie Gordon, Jalen Wright, they
08:15come in the game.
08:16Defenses are laughing, laughing.
08:18You didn't even hand the ball off to Ollie Gordon yet.
08:20Four snaps.
08:20Jalen Wright had four snaps in the backfield.
08:24Obviously, he played on the kickoff, almost took it back.
08:27He had negative one yards.
08:29You have no other threat outside of Devon H and in the backfield that Crowder, if they
08:35do bring in Ollie Gordon, but they put Devon H out in the slot or they just have him kind
08:40of in motion, it's not even a decoy with the other guy.
08:43You know it's going to Devon H and.
08:45Yeah.
08:46Did you see a B. John Robinson's touchdown?
08:49Yep.
08:49Just throw it out to the flat and he just flipped it up in there and just he just get
08:53in his hands.
08:54That same play got picked off and ran back for a touchdown later on because they knew
08:59what they know where the ball's going now.
09:00Like wherever seven is, we're going to seven.
09:03It's going to start being like that with Devon H and this office can't do anything, which
09:07is fine, though.
09:08I'd like to see that at least because I'd like to see Devon H and have a chance to do
09:12something
09:12with the ball.
09:13Oh, no, Hawk.
09:14Eleven touches is ridiculous.
09:16There's no reason for him to touch the ball less than 20 times.
09:18Yep.
09:19Too few.
09:19We were talking about him touching the ball 30 times at one point.
09:22Like, I don't know what happened there.
09:24Let's do headlines here because Crowder's got to go do some work for the pivot.
09:28So what did I see here?
09:30You have pivot Mondays now on YouTube?
09:35Because I thought you had a Netflix deal.
09:37Yeah.
09:37So Netflix is with the pivot podcast.
09:39Now we're going to do like a football rap show on Mondays with the three guys.
09:45Like it's like a product extension.
09:47Yes.
09:47Like a product.
09:48You exactly.
09:50You're just a bright man.
09:51Exactly what it is.
09:52We have the podcast going, still going, going to be on YouTube Tuesdays and Friday.
09:56And now on Monday during football season, we're going to break down the week of football.
09:59So here's here's the deal, though.
10:02Listeners, he's got to go shoot some promo stuff for the pivot.
10:05So we're going to lose him from like 315 to say four o'clock.
10:08Is everyone OK with that?
10:10If we all get free Netflix subscriptions?
10:12What happened?
10:13Huh?
10:13I'm down with that.
10:14I want to make sure with Jimmy the bed bug and Solana and all the listeners that everybody's
10:19OK if you disappear for a little bit here to shoot some promo stuff.
10:22If we can all get some Netflix subs.
10:25How much do they cost?
10:27I think mine's $19.99.
10:29Woo!
10:30A month?
10:31That's worth it.
10:32It's worth it just for the pivot podcast.
10:35So 60 bucks a month?
10:38Actually, Crowder, I already steal my dad's Netflix.
10:43OK.
10:43So I'll just take the $19.99 directly to my account.
10:47Actually, what I think you should do, Crowder, is report that to Netflix.
10:51Yes, sir.
10:52You want to be employee of the month.
10:54My man, let me call somebody.
10:58These Solanas are cutting corners on us, baby.
11:00See you guys later, man.
11:00Bye.
11:00Bye.
11:01Bye.
