-
he has reeled off 12 straight wins against rookie Q B is going back to 2014.
-
And generally those games have not been close.
-
They've outscored those teams by combined 250 points during this streak.
-
So this week they get to and it's a very big game for Miami.
-
So let me bring in someone who was on those defense's at the beginning of this run.
-
Rob Ninkovich.
-
Rob.
-
Very simply.
-
Why is Bill so good against rookies?
-
Well, it's pretty simple.
-
You show nothing pre snap and you make them figure it out.
-
Post snap.
-
So before the snap, you really don't show your hand.
-
You have your poker face after the snap.
-
The rookies gotta figure it out.
-
They've got to figure out what the coverages.
-
They gotta figure out where the blitz is coming from.
-
And in your first two Siris of the game, you load the box, you let the quarterback figure out what's coming.
-
Is it a blitz?
-
Is it coverage?
-
We don't know.
-
You're gonna have to figure it out.
-
And with that, then you know.
-
Okay, can this quarterback come to the line of scrimmage and can he figure out what we're doing to him.
-
If he cannot.
-
If he comes to the line of scrimmage and you're showing all out Blitz, look, and he runs the play because that's the only thing he knows how to do is take the call from the sideline, bring it to the line of scrimmage and run the play, then you know.
-
Okay, well, we could pretty much do what we want with this guy, and he's not gonna be able to figure it out.
-
So Bill Belichick is the master at game planning.
-
Each and every week, it's gonna be a different game plan.
-
And when you play a rookie, you wanna make them figure it out.
-
And R.
-
C knows this because he's in the secondary.
-
You do not show your hand and you make them figure out the coverages.
-
They have a veteran secondary, and they'll be able to do that.
-
That video you just saw, by the way, was Rob Ninkovich sacking a then rookie Jared golf modest of you not to point that out, but I decided to do it.
-
But you look skeptical.
-
What's with the skeptical look on your face part Scott?
-
Because when you have numbers you can push whatever narrative if you want.
-
The reality is most times a team has a rookie quarterback.
-
Starting is because they're the best player on the team.
-
You think about their usually on the team, that piccolo in the draft.
-
They have a horrible team.
-
I remember going to get Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, you know, with a Mark Sanchez didn't matter, right?
-
You wonder why?
-
Because he was on a good football team to a ton of Allah is on a good football team.
-
So I don't think he's gonna have any problem looking at the team and looking at the tape in which the Patriots represent themselves against the Rams the previous week.
-
You think you think about this secondary wind blow for blow with the best, arguably the number one offense in the game.
-
There's gonna be like a week off.
-
This is gonna be like going to get the scout team.
-
Cam Newton has a 78 Q b r.
-
10 interceptions.
-
I'm not worried about anything that the Patriots offense has to present to the Miami Dolphins defense.
-
Flores understands all the Jedi mind tricks that Bill, as we all understand he's the CIF Lord, but he's out of moves.
-
He has no more moves on the chess board, and it's time for Miami claim their stake and say, You know what?
-
This is our division out.
-
We have a much better quarterback than you got.
-
That would really be something.
-
I'll see Who do you think wins this game?
-
I think it's the Miami Dolphins, but I'm mad at Bart because I held that back during the morning meeting and he didn't say it either.
-
So I figured I was about to come on here.
-
And while y'all with the fact that rookies play for sorry teams, but no Bart busted out before me.
-
Good job, bro with.
-
But you look on the other side of you know, I'm saying, You look on the other side of it, though, and you see two.
-
We're talking about Low and that team you watch it to talk about.
-
Lola had to do in the second half of last week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
-
I felt like he grew up.
-
The other part of it is when you see this man under pressure when you're talking about Lola has played for Nick Saban when he's been in some of the pressure situations that he's been in throughout his career.
-
He's not your normal working.
-
He also grew up in this seven on seven arena of football in high school, so he's seen different things.
-
He's thrown a lot of football, and he's also playing for the better team, as Bart said.
-
And what is the New England Patriots off?
-
It's gonna do against a Miami Dolphins defense that plays like we normally see the New England Patriots.
-
And so this isn't the same New England Patriots team.
-
Nico is not walking through that door.
-
Teddy be is not walking through that door.
-
Ronnie Harrison is not walking through that door.
-
And so when you look at what this team is facing, I think the Miami Dolphins have opportunity to win this game and win this game going away late.
-
Well, that would really be something and is obviously one they desperately need.
-
Is there fighting with Baltimore for that final wild card spot?
-
I'll just throw into the conversation.
-
Justin Herbert's not on a great team, but he has had a brilliant season, and Belichick just annihilated him a few weeks ago.
-
Let's keep a close eye on this one.
