Lost in the Miami Miracle was Tom Brady‘s uncharacteristic
mental mistake at the end of the first half.With only seconds remaining in the
first half and the Patriots out of
timeouts
Mike
Gesicki Jersey , the quarterback took a sack. Time expired, preventing New
England from a chip-shot field goal. “There’s no excuse. You just can’t let
those things happen. It’s definitely my fault,” Brady said Monday on his weekly
radio show on WEEI.The Patriots took over the Dolphins 15 after a second blocked
punt of the half. (Yes, technically it wasn’t a blocked punt since it traveled 2
yards beyond the line of scrimmage, but statistics sometimes lie.) New England
called its final timeout of the half after Brady completed a 13-yard pass to Rob
Gronkowski to the Miami 2.After two incompletions, the Patriots faced
third-and-goal with 14 seconds left. Brady inexplicably allowed Robert Quinn to
sack him for a 7-yard loss rather than throwing the ball away.Brady explained
afterward he lost track of how many timeouts the Patriots had.“It was just a bad
play,” Brady said on his radio show Monday. “We called a timeout after we got
the first down, and we ran a couple of plays. I just wasn’t. . . . It was third
down, and I thought, OK, well let’s not throw an interception and just had a few
other things going through my mind and just took it for granted. I don’t care
how long you play, you’ve got to just stay really aware of those situations. You
just can’t give away free points like that. It was just a very bad play by
me.”By the third question Monday about his mental mistake, Brady seemed to have
enough of that line of questioning. He instead appeared ready to put his mental
miscue — and the loss — behind him.“That rarely happens. It’s kind of an
anomaly

Brady said. “I’m not going to overly evaluate it. Just a bad play.” Just like
the “desperado” final play rarely happens. On Sunday, both happened to the
Patriots, which is how they turned victory into defeat. The college football
season is well underway and I’ve been enjoying every second of it.I absolutely
love the NFL draft, and scouting players for it is just something I really can’t
get enough of....... I can’t explain it.I played football all my life and after
getting injured in college and not being able to play anymore, scouting became a
way for me to still be a part of the game - from there my love for scouting and
the draft grew.My goal for doing scouting reviews and reports this season is for
us to get to know this upcoming draft class and to obviously, hopefully,
entertain you.I’ll be giving my opinion on who I think is standing out and who I
believe the Dolphins should have on their radar.I remember watching a ton of
tape on Minkah Fitzpatrick last year - thinking there’s no way he falls to the
Dolphins and some how we ended up getting him.I remember doing a lot of film
study on Gesicki and Baker, it’s fun to see guys go from college to my favorite
NFL team.So, chances are we will be talking about future Dolphins players
here.This week we will begin with...Jeffery Simmons, DT, Mississippi St.
(Jr)Simmons has been fantastic this season so far.He’s incredibly stout, strong,
able to push the
pocket
Womens
Walt Aikens Jersey , keeps his eyes on the ball and is surprisingly
athletic for being such a big guy.From what I’ve seen, his tape screams first
round pick.The biggest negative thing I think will hurt him is a tape of him
hitting a woman back in 2016 when he was a freshman.Now, I am in no way saying
it’s justified - but apparently the woman had said something negative about his
recently deceased nephews.Still, obviously he assaulted a woman and this will
hurt his draft stock - especially when it was all captured on film.The important
thing with Simmons though (and to his credit) is he’s remained out of trouble
since then and from the research I’ve done - he’s praised for being a leader and
a responsible teammate. Brett Rojo-USA TODAY SportsByron Murphy, CB, Washington
(Jr)Murphy wasn’t on my radar this summer - mainly because it’s a hard task to
cover the entire country by myself and good players fall through the cracks.He’s
certainly on my radar now; Murphy has been phenomenal this season.I love his
burst, acceleration, and change of direction speed.He’s got great hips and flies
to the ball.He’s also a violent hitter that loves to help out in the ground
game.Murphy could be a high draft pick. Jennifer Buchanan-USA TODAY SportsTroy
Dye, LB, Oregon (Jr)Dye is an undersized 3-down linebacker with great instincts
and toughness.He’s a tackling machine and an asset in defending the pass.He’s a
fantastic athlete with great quickness and change of direction speed.I do worry
a bit about his size though, and he struggles at times to disengage from
blockers; but Dye is a versatile LB that has impressed me this season. Photo by
Gene Sweeney Jr/Getty Images Collin Johnson, WR, Texas (Jr)Johnson has also been
very impressive this season.He’s a big WR that has been a terrific playmaker
early in this college football season.He’s got pretty solid speed for a big guy
and is great at winning the one on one jump balls.He’s also capable of making
some pretty spectacular catches.I am starting to really be a fan of
Johnson.Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsJJ
Arcega-Whiteside
DeVante
Parker Jersey , WR, Stanford (Jr)Sticking with the WRs, Arcega-Whiteside
is another big bodied wideout that excels at catching the jump ball. He’s
strong, knows how to use his body, pretty good route runner, has tremendous body
control and has reliable hands.His speed is probably his biggest weakness, but
Arcega-Whiteside is certainly a playmaker that will be on a lot of team’s
radars. Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty ImagesMax Scharping, OT, NIU (Sr)Scharping has
some fans in the scouting community and I recently was able to watch his film
for the first time.I came away very impressed.He’s a solid pass protector- I
think he uses his hands well and has a great base.He’s got the ability to
completely shut down defenders - it’s awesome to watch.Scharping also has a lot
of experience under his belt too. Scharping is a legit NFL talent - I am looking
forward to watching more of him. Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images
