So that kind of takes my next question. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.400 It's the father of two, is there anything in the 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.960 world you miss more than sleep. Oh my gosh. 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.920 No, it's just the things you take for granted are 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.720 just like even when you do get to go to sleep, 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:16.720 the whole time in the back of your mind is 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.080 just like please don't wake up, like please just let me. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.799 So you're not even getting a good night sleep, like 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:21.359 I'm sure you know. 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.560 Yeah, yeah, watch TV. You hear the little cry in 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:24.000 the background. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.959 It's like, oh, yes, yes, you start hearing these phantom 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.480 Krajet's that a baby exactly right? 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:30.760 So what are you up to since you got back? 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.880 You're enjoying the hometown and getting back to your old routie, 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.400 exploring some new stuff. What are you up to? 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.880 Yeah, I mean it's it's it's funny just driving the 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.639 old streets I would drive just like going to high 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.200 school or like hanging out, you know what I mean. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.720 So it's it feels weird coming back. A lot's changed, 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.880 but everything's still the same, if that makes sense. But no, 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:48.400 I've just been trying to hit make sure I hit 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.080 all my South Florida food spots like Flanagans Flanagans as 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.480 might go to. I've had Flannigans easily six to seven times. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.760 I've been trying to go as many Panthers games as 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.839 they can. Big Panthers guy, even the heat. I haven't 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.240 made it to a Heat game, but been watching the heat. 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.680 I mean, La Caretta has been fantastic. Trying to get 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.839 as much Cuban coffee as I can, and it's just, yeah, 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.320 I've been soaking up the sun, not worrying about am 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.160 I wearing a hoodie outside this time of the year. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.520 It's fantastic. Choice every day is the way to go. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.639 So you come down here, a new team, new offense, 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.120 all that stuff. I know, the offense a little bit 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:21.720 carry over from what you did with the Jets with 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.280 Michael Floor now Mike McDaniel. How you're fitting in, how 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.200 you're enjoying the system. Just kind of talk about getting 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:27.119 here for the last couple of months. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.919 Yeah, No, just being in here for OTAs is good, 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.320 just to learn the receivers and kind of learn everybody's 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.720 got their own unique way of running routes and their 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.839 body language coming in and out of cuts and all that. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.960 So just learning the guys and then the system is similar. 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.520 But there's definitely a lot of nuances that the guys 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.760 here have have been able to do, and I think 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.240 a lot of it is just the speed that we 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.840 have here. It's it's it's nothing like I've ever been around. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.440 It's it's like a freaking four x four team out here. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.200 So getting used to that has been has been different 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:57.520 but cool. It's cool to watch. 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.200 How do you dial? Like do you have to recalibrate 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:00.080 your dep balls because. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.400 You got to get out of your own head? Is 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.600 the big thing? Is like listen, like, just as long 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.960 as you throw it on time at the required yards, like, 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.400 you'll be good, but just know that if you take 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.200 a second hitch, you might be right. 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.160 So you join a quarterback room with two A tongue 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:14.880 by low obviously what's been like getting to know him 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:15.800 two has been awesome. 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.760 The quarterback room in general has been great. Just being 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.800 able to watch to you kind of watch from afar 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.320 being in the same same division, but you don't get 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.320 to watch as much as you do obviously being here 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.960 every day. So just like taking as much from his 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.360 game as I can. You know, the anticipation, the accuracy 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.880 that he plays with is very very impressive, and being 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.400 able to see it every day is cool too, as 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.000 opposed to just like on Crossover film when I was 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:39.800 up in New York. 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.239 Absolutely so in that same quarterback room coach Darryl Bebbell. 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.279 I mean you go down his list of his quarterbacks, 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:45.960 he's coach. It's like hall of famer, hall of famer, 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.080 hall of famer. What's just like playing under him? Yeah. 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.599 So he we did an introduction our first day here, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.440 and he hit us with that coach Daron Rodgers, Bright 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.559 far Matt Stafford, Russell Wilson, and you're like, holy cop, 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.080 it's cool. So yeah, when he draws back on that, like, hey, listen, 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.280 this is how Brett thought of this, or Aaron gave 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.800 me a good tidbit here, Russell, Matt. So when he 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.880 gives you those nuggets, it's you definitely got to soak 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.200 it all in and get what you can from it 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.240 because he's seen a lot, a lot of good quarterback play. 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:14.640 So when you get down here with the one yard 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.400 line of the practice field here, when you get down here, 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:17.440 what's your go to play call? 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:18.600 You want to go quarterback? Sneak? 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:19.479 Got it be? 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.279 What's the selling when you get in See that's like 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.960 I always have all these ideas of celebrating, Like I 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.359 remember when when like my kids were born, and like 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.120 I said, all right, my first touchdown, I'm going to 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.680 do some type of oh to them or something. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.000 But like I score, and I just lose my mind. 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.479 I black out and just like find the nearest teammate 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.280 and just start yelling in his fade, just losing my mind. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:42.760 So if I would be lying to you, if I 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.480 told you I had a celebration, because knowing myself, I 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.279 would just lose my mind and go nuts and stuff. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.280 I appreciate you, man, Like why Dolphins quarterback and away 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.159 he goes, We're gonna go ahead and take our first 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.560 break right there and come back on the other side, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.159 talk about this quarterback room, talk about the tight end room. 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.680 That's next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.000 Brought to you by Auto Nation. 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.840 Originally, when I put together the summer content plan here, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.080 my thought was I was going to be doing a 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.279 divisional preview with a walk and talk and a positional preview. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.279 But as I am wont to do, I typically go 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.800 long winded, and that happened on every single divisional preview, 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.640 And so we're going to go ahead and just give 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.440 you more episodes. Does that sound good? I think it does. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.440 Let's go ahead and crank these training camp preview podcast 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.960 out this week as well as Monday and Tuesday next 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.000 week before training camp kicks off here in South Florida 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:38.120 on July twenty sixth, And we start at the quarterbacks 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.080 because well we heard from Mike White, but also that's 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:41.760 usually where you start right top of the list in 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.800 terms of For me, it goes quarterback, running back, wide receiver, 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:49.560 tied end O line, and then defense interior, edge, off ball, linebacker, cornerback, 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.080 safety specialist. That's how I've always done it, the same 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.240 way I do AFC, East, North, Southwest, and then NFC. 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.279 Same rotation there. But I'm getting into the weeds here. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.760 Let's talk about the Dolphins quarterbacks and start with number one. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.680 To a tongue of Bay Lowo, you're starting quarterback for 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.880 the Miami Dolphins, and most teams go as their quarterback 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.680 goes right, at least to a certain extent, you get 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.160 outliers where teams bring it all the way home without 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.800 premier quarterback production. Fittingly, the one season of his career 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.400 where he was not producing like an All Pro was 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.280 one of those two years that Peyton Manning hoisted a 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.080 Lombardi Trophy in his final year with the Denver Broncos. 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.119 There you go back to the Trent Dilford debate. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.120 Brad Johnson, Rex Grossman started in a Super Bowl once 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.560 upon a time, But by and large, the teams who 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.320 qualify for the postseason and perform well there typically have 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.760 a quarterback who was among the best in the league 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.280 that season. Just look back at the AFC playoffs last year. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:46.400 Josh Allen, Patrick, Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.720 and then Lamar Jackson to a tongue by low did 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.720 not start those games with a worthy primary quarterbacks for 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.920 those teams. Pretty cut and dry, those were the top 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.320 seven quarterbacks in the AFC a season to go. And 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.040 don't get it twisted. The category he's the piers in 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.240 which two are ranked among those categories, it's those same 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:09.440 guys you mentioned, Alan Mahomes, Hertzburrow, Tua. He was absolute 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.400 aces eight point nine yards per pass. I mean, all 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.000 of these are top three finishes in the NFL last year. 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.600 Eight point nine yards per pass, a three to three 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.000 point one two five touchdown interception ratio, two hundred and 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.320 seventy two point nine yards per game. He was second 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.160 in EPA per dropback. He was also up there in 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.760 sack percentage just under five percent tops and passer rating 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.640 at one oh five point five and number two in 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.760 total QBR at sixty. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:34.440 Eight point nine. 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.760 And in those games that he started and finished, the 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.640 Dolphins were eight and four. They were competitive to the 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.839 last play in those four losses, and those games all 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.040 could have gone really either way. And then the victories 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.680 for the most part were offensive clinics with the Dolphins 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.600 just posted big time point totals four consecutive games with 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:56.280 thirty points against Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Houston. Obviously the 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.560 fantastic comeback in Week two against Baltimore. You had some 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.040 big time production in the Buffalo game that Saturday night, 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.479 and some big wins too against you know mentioned. 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:05.440 Baltimore beat in Buffalo. 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.800 Those are big time wins for this franchise, and you know, 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.680 led by a quarterback that was playing some of his 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.400 best ball within those games. And I'm looking back at 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.640 my notes from a season ago, and here's what I wrote. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.040 His ability to was to attack the whole field based 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.880 on a snapshot of information, the strides he made with 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.560 this eye discipline, the downfield threat that was among the 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.520 best in the league, and the ability to make plays 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.559 against pressure, mitigating free hitters or create with his pocket mobility, 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.480 the accuracy that turns a fifteen yard completion versus the 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.160 Packers into a chance for Jalen Waddle to run at 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.280 eighty four yards all the way to the end zone, 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.080 or the fifty seven yarder in Baltimore, or the sixty 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.040 seven yarder in Buffalo. Like you get the idea. I 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.440 think we have a quarterback who has shown high, high 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.640 level play in terms of between the ear stuff. He 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.600 took a professional approach, put in the work and showed 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.840 you he has what it takes to excel in the 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.960 most important arena of the position, the processing, manipulation and 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.079 application of the skills once the ball has been snapped. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.120 And the best part about that, he's twenty five years old. 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:06.960 He was twenty four last year. But he's only twenty 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.440 five years old. It's only going to get better. We 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.079 even saw growth with things this past year. Even in 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.400 game Mike described the mistakes of the second interception of 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.400 the Baltimore game and what he was able to do 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.480 after that, where he's able to compartmentalize it, forget about it, 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.080 and move on to the next high level stuff. So 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.760 that was twenty four a season ago. Now at twenty 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:29.000 five and having seen him get that second go round 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.119 in the system for a couple of brief ota practices, 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.440 take ownership of the offense and really take ownership of 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:36.280 the team in general. 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.000 I just think you can see those. 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.719 Fine details buttoned up even more. And when you get 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.760 to this level, this level of a profession, it kind 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.000 of reminds me of golf, where you just make a 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.280 minor tweak, a very small calibration. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.640 And it can have the biggest impact. 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.480 Like if you just make a small change in your putter, 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.040 all of a sudden, you're shaving a putt per hole, 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.840 maybe you know ten puts per round, it's a huge deal. 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.480 Going from you know, nine to eighty is a big 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.480 deal on the golf course. And for Tua, those small tweaks, 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.000 those fine calibrations. In the second year, I think you 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.640 can really see that ratchet up the play to even 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.559 a further step because last year what were some of 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.120 the shortcomings for this offense in general was offensive penalties, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.800 a little bit late, getting out of the huddle in 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.720 the operation to have mentioned that being one of the 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.640 focal points this offseason. Going into the twenty twenty three season, 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.719 you button those things up, all of a sudden, you 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.960 start seeing a better third down conversion rate, longer time 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:31.800 of possession, which is going to need to more points, 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.160 and obviously keeps your defense fresher on the other side 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.000 and keeps them off. 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:35.400 The field too. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.479 So fine calibration, I think can have big, big impacts. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.880 We played the sound from Ronaldo Hill back during OTA's 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.120 where he said two is in a great job of 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.000 forcing that defense to really harp on their rules and 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.880 play through each progression as to a stress them all, 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.680 like understanding that we have this shell coverage, whatever it 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.440 might be, well, you have to be able to rally 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.160 up and tackle because two is going to find that 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.360 fourth or fifth option in the passing game if you 0:11:59.440 --> 0:11:59.960 cover up. 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:01.120 One, two, and three very well. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.439 So he gets his information pre snap, he assesses quickly 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.200 post snap, and the ball is out. Not only is 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.360 this great for obvious reasons, but it also helps the 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.880 offensive line that wants to play aggressively downhill. It helps 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.680 the wide receivers operate in space once they catch the football. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.600 It just helps the entire offense. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.320 Obviously, we have to keep the quarterback upright and keep 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.800 them healthy because if that happens, we can see this 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.600 offense really shine for an entire season. That's the key 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.400 this year to this guy's game. He has all the 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.760 tools in the tool bag to be a highly efficient, 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.160 highly effective quarterback like we saw a year ago, and 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.520 I cannot wait to see what year two under Mike 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.800 McDaniel looks like for Tua. A healthy Tua makes this 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.079 team incredibly dangerous this year. 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:41.280 In the National Football League. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.600 Number fourteen, Mike White, you heard from him, held likable 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.640 of the guy as he also two kids, loves to 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.320 play golf, South Florida guy like hey spider Man meme. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.520 And in the instance where we do have to turn 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.079 to another quarterback, I think this room is well balanced 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.079 this year with a lot of potential for a potent, 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.360 a possible spark off the bench, starting with my White. 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.360 He just has something to him, that kickstarter type of 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.480 energy off the bench. You know, I think about Ryan 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.120 Fitzpatrick or Gardner Minshew who just kind of have that 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.319 backup quarterback. I'm gonna come in right now, cold, I'm 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.120 gonna go to the golf course and not hit balls 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.160 before the round, and I'm gonna my first t shot 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:18.000 is gonna be excellent. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.880 You know, too many golf metaphors or parallels here. 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.200 But his teammates love him. He plays a similar pace 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.880 and urgency as you see with Tua. He's got familiarity 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.720 in a similar system, and he's had huge days of 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.840 production in this league. I mean two separate games over 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.960 four hundred yards. How many quarterbacks can can say that. 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.880 I mean the top guys can multiple times, but not 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:39.960 a lot of quarterbacks kicking around out there that have 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.280 multiple days over four hundred yards. Two years ago, he 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.320 came off the bench in a Week six game up 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.920 in New England and posted this following stat line seventy 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.080 three eight yards per pass and five touchdowns within the 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.120 next three games after he came off the bench for 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.240 that game against the Patriots, before suffering an injury against 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.160 the Colts on a Thursday night. This year, he gets 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.280 the nod for a game versus the Bears after the 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:05.079 Jets lost a ten to three heartbreaker to those same Patriots, 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.600 where they again only scored three points, and he posts 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.959 a twenty two for twenty eight day with three hundred 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.760 and fifteen yards through the air and three touchdowns. I 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:14.319 don't know if you guys remember the following game in 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.040 Minnesota after that, which I remember watching it very tightly 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.720 because the Dolphins were playing the Niners in the late window, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.560 and the Dolphins and Jets at that time, I believe 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.840 we're both seven and four within one game of each other, 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.880 and watching the Jets, we needed to see them lose 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.280 against the Vikings that day, and Mike White was not 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.800 gonna go down, you know, quietly. He did get picked 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.720 off twice, but there was a couple of drops in 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.440 that game that essentially prevented the Jets from winning that 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.760 game against a team who won thirteen games a year ago, 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.120 including a drop in the end zone and the final 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.200 minute of that game that would have put them in 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:45.640 the lead. 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:47.320 I just like the way he plays. 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.880 He sound from the pocket, He's quick in everything, he does, 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.520 a little bit of scramble ability. Those are all really 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.000 good traits for QB two off the bench. And then 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.160 we'll have number sixteen out here as well in camp 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.400 James Blackman out of Florida State and then Arkansas. After that, 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.040 I should say he was a transfer, a circuitous route 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.680 as a collegiate Lands blackman in his first NFL camp 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.560 here with the Dolphins, and there's a lot of talent 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.560 there evident by some of those games I mentioned Back 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.560 at Florida State. I remember watching him early on in 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.600 his career there and saying, man, that I can push 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.240 the football down the field. Playing time became a bit 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.480 of a scarcity that final year, just four games in 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.640 that pandemic shortened season, or however you know teams handled 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.840 their schedule that year. I know the PAC twelve canceled 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.120 after like four games, so that was a bummer to see. 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.200 But just two seasons after he played only three games 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.560 due to an injury. He wound up getting a fifth 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.160 and sixth year of eligibility and transferred to Arkansas State, 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.000 where he played nineteen games and through twenty two touchdowns 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:38.320 compared to just seven picks. 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.320 Smooth released, high arching deep. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.080 Ball, and some pretty good athletic ability for the position. 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.440 So I mentioned Mike White as a you know, potential 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.120 spark off the bench. Well, he's gonna have to battle 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.520 with Skyler Thompson number nineteen here, the second year quarterback 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.120 for that role. Like White, we saw Skyler get some 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:55.960 action in relief, but also as a starter. 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:56.880 Go back to that. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.800 Vikings tape when you know, despite some penalties, he was 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:01.600 in that first half and showed you some of the 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.160 improvisational skills that helped him in the offense stay on 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.840 schedule in that game For a seventh round pick. I 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.640 don't know that you would have expected a rookie to 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.920 get that much time a year ago, but how valuable 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.600 that could that experience possibly be. He did some big 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.880 plays and OTAs had that one day in mini camp 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:17.880 where he just threw a bunch of touchdowns, and I 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:19.720 thought he showed you the improvement you want to see 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.120 from a rookie season to second year quarterback. I think 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.200 you have a different quarterback room this year than you've 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.200 really had going back to when toul was drafted. We 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.160 heard coach say this offseason that he felt like the 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.360 quarterback room needed to be changed from a year ago 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.680 in the sense that Toua was now like the man 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.240 in the room right and not that he wasn't a 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.680 year ago, but he was again still just twenty four 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.720 years old. So you often see teams in that situation 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.000 drop an experienced veteran into the room and kind of 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.320 prioritize that position and pay top end dollar for a 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.320
