WEBVTT - Drive Time: July 31 Training Camp Recap 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:03.920 Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. 0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:06.800 Now, let me check your pulse if you're not far though. 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:12.600 What is up? Dolphins? And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.880 part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network covering your team, 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:20.360 your Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your host, 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.599 Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, another day of work 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.279 under the sun. It was hot, it was competitive, the 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.319 pads were on and they were popping. We'll do the 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.040 practice notes and we'll hear from head coach Mike McDaniel 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.120 and a bunch of the guys on the team, Rob Hunt, 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.880 Durham Smyth, Elijah Campbell, Jerome Baker, and alec Ingold from 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.360 the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.880 This is the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.760 Hey, Jaffeir, I. 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.360 Want to start today's podcast with some sound from coach 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:52.120 McDaniel who met with us on Tuesday, Monday morning. I 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.960 keep forgetting what data is uh, because we got about 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:56.800 twenty minutes with coach and he gave us all kinds 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.240 of good content as he is wont to do, and 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.640 I wanted to start here is he broke down some 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.840 of the thought behind his practice structures and what a 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.520 day it was. With this script, almost all team drills 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.920 gave us plenty to chew on here as we you know, 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.199 you evaluate this practice as best we can without having 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.720 really any inside knowledge of what we're watching out there 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.600 in terms of how things get put together. More on 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:19.880 all that in the moment, but let's go ahead and 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.319 hear from coach and how they decipher the reps in 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:23.160 a given practice. 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:29.520 So in terms of the structure of practice, it won't 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.840 always be that that way, but you know, you have 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:36.600 the starting quarterback and those who are working with the 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.480 starters that day, and then you kind of split the 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:45.760 rest of the team to two different groups. Well, not 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:51.320 all positions have two different groups, so there's overlapping reps 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.480 between those two groups, so we sandwich the ones or 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.480 the starting quarterback and who's working with them that day. 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:05.760 So that because from an athletic performance standpoint, from an 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:11.320 injury prevention standpoint, and just a competitive standpoint, it's not 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:15.799 quite fair to you know, depending on where we're at 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.560 in our progression as we get ramp up to get 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:20.440 ready for games. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:21.880 It's not fair for. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:27.320 A guy to be judged on his sixth rep consecutively 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.560 out of seven against guys that have four four in 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.040 a row. So it's overall for the team health. You'll 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:40.959 do that so that guys don't have excessive reps that accumulate, 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:41.440 and it. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:42.480 Won't always be the case. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.880 There's sometimes that, uh, depending on how the periods are 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:51.360 structured that you you want the starting quarterback out there 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.440 to set the tone. But when we do that, it's 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.240 for that splitting up of reps. 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.560 And hear from coach McDaniel ever wonder why it's three 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.680 days off or three days on rather than one day off. Well, 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:08.519 here's why from the head coach. 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.040 With the initial. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.480 Really with the CBA derived off. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.640 Days that we do believe in. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:25.640 You know, during the season, you never practice more than 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.000 three days in a row, and you're practicing three days 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.560 in a row, then you get your Saturday before the 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.320 game where you get a little rest, and then you 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.600 perform on Sunday. So we kind of you try to 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.600 make things as a game like you try to model 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.080 everything after you know what you're going to be doing 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:50.680 all year. So it doesn't really make any sense to 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:56.960 practice four days in a row once or twice early 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.640 in the season when you're never playing four days in 0:03:59.680 --> 0:03:59.960 a row. 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.800 We also got pads today for the first time, which 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.560 means offensive line versus defensive line. Pass rush one of 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.880 my favorite drills here, And I want to go back 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.720 to Rob Hunt, who I talked to about this, so 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.640 I thought had a really good period in the one 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.240 on one pass rush drills. Here is Robert Hunt on 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:16.360 what he thinks. 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.160 About those drills D line may they might love. It's 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.120 it's a defensive line drill. Man, It's a defensive line drill. 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.880 But you know, we just got to hold on and 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.559 you know, do what we do. It's a lot harder 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:27.960 for office a line and to win right there in 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.320 that setting old line versus D line. It's a lot 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:31.880 harder for all line to win. But if you can 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:33.839 win now, you can win throughout the game, throughout the 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:34.279 practice you. 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:36.040 Guys have. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.760 Yeah, it's a space and I just feel like it's 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.440 a we know what it is. We know what it is. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.440 They they going straight for you. Let me, you just 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.040 got to try to do what you can do. 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.960 Pretty thank you appreciate. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:49.600 That was me telling him, I thought you did a 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.480 pretty good job on Christian Wilkins today, and he said, 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.080 thank you. I appreciate that pretty uh, pretty hilarious, But 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.960 his commentary there was really in general. But all things told, 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.240 I thought the offensive line had some really good work 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.279 in that drill. Let's go ahead and start with the 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.680 practice notes on the offensive line, because you know where 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.960 else would you start on the first day of padded practice. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.600 The reason I asked Rob was watching him rep after 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.560 rep just completely stonewall his man. And it wasn't like 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.200 we had to look up the names to find out 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.159 who he was going up against. I had him with 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.520 back to back stand up and the rep type of 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.719 work on Christian Wilkins, who's been unblockable all camp long, 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.000 and then a third on Zach Seeler, who you guys 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.760 know how strong he is and how much he can 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.359 take advantage of the extra leverage you can create in 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.599 those open space pass rush drills. All things told, I 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.080 don't think he surrendered even a single pressure and a 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.160 drill where the defensive line is obviously at an advantage. 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.800 As you heard there from him real quick. Let's go 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.039 ahead and hear from alec Ingold on the play of 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:41.920 the Dolphins right guard. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.120 He's a big nasty man. 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.560 Yeah, I mean, he loves physicality, he loves playing ball, 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.640 he loves moving his feet running. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.840 He's athletic as all get out. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.440 I mean you see that from a couple of years 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.880 ago on that Ravens catch that he had. So being athletic, fast, physical, 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.760 and wanting to play football, I think all those things 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.680 added up. Yeah, I think that makes a good football player. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.440 I did not know he was big, nasty, and also 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:02.880 I asked him about that and he said, never been 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.120 called O my life, So we'll find out about that more. 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.719 I thought Dan Feeney was also very, very good. He 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.000 had some good work on Seiler and Raykwon, two guys 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.240 who are really tough to stop in this drill. In particular, 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.920 so did alame U Lavalle. At one point, Kyle leaned 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.360 over and said, man has sixty two gotten beaten yet 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.720 I'm thinking I don't think he has some pretty good 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.799 pass sets there. Raykwon Davis on Connor Williams is always 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.160 a fun matchup because they kind of go back and 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.279 forth a little bit. I think this is the one 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.479 where you really see the advantage for the defensive line 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.159 in this drill because it's not going to go Connor 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.479 Williams's way in those drills for the most part, because 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.400 somebody with Rayqwan's length, he can just create tons of 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.240 space and then take advantage of the length and the 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.800 reach he has over you know, pretty much anybody out 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.400 there and utilize the swim, the arm over things that 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.479 really emphasize creating and exploiting leverage. I thought it was 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.040 the second day in a row of some pretty good 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.560 offensive line play, which is, you know, a testament to 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.960 bouncing back to what happened on Fred. But again, context 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.520 of those practices and the play script, like it's it's 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.520 not a results based type of things. When you come 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.840 out here for practice. Don't think about you know, quarterback 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.600 throwing interceptions or player getting whatever the case may be. 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.559 It's not about results in these periods. It's about trying 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.360 to grow and find out what you are as a 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.640 football team and just essentially make the entire roster better 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.559 with these practices. So, uh, you know, I again thought 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.119 pretty good for the offensive line. I thought Hunt carried 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.320 over the individual drills into team I thought Liam Eichenberg 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.000 had one of his best days I've seen out here. 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.680 And that's not just lip service about a guy that 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.000 you know, we really want to excel in that way 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.680 in terms of, you know, getting this offensive line solidified, 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.880 but he was rock solid in the one on ones 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:42.960 and then was also getting good push in the running game, 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:44.880 which has been a pretty consistent theme for him so 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.040 far in this camp. I had a couple of runs, 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.840 explosives and chunks that were sprung in part by Eikenberg blocks, 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.560 and the pressures from the defense largely came out on 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.880 the perimeter today. More on that in a moment. I 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.800 liked the day of Jeron Christian today, both one on 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.560 one team. I thought Isaiah Winn had some really good work, 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.720 particularly in the team drills as well. And again I 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.200 thought the outside was where the pass rush came down, 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.640 especially with seventy three Austin Jackson the seventy Kendall Lamb 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.000 up against Bradley Chubb on Jalen Phillips. You know, a 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.720 theme is developing, or I guess it has already become 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.840 a theme where it just doesn't really seem to matter 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.440 who's matched up on Jalen or you know, Chubb, They're 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.560 going to find their way into the backfield and against 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.320 both the run and the pass. We'll see when Testad 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.000 gets back out there, which by the way he was 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.200 out there today active off pup, no team period, but 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.320 was taking part in some of the individual drills, which 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.560 is obviously a great thing to see. But back to 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.600 two and fifteen, I think one area where we stood 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.280 to improve a little bit from last season was run 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.960 defense around the outside. And it looks to me like 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.640 it's almost a point of emphasis for the defense and 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.320 those guys that they have been so dang good at 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.319 really inserting themselves off the edge in the running game 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.120 by shocking that kickout block or the seal block that 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.640 tries to widen them and create space, and that b 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.360 or ce gap out wide and then working back inside 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.280 of that once they set the edge, to try to 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.320 follow the back and make that lane even tighter for 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.679 them to cut back into. Both guys have been relatively unblockable. 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.679 I almost get rid of the word relatively like they 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.560 have been as pass rushers, particularly Bradley Chubbed. Like gosh, 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.800 he has been sharp. He looks completely healthy and ready 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.600 to go quick, powerful, explosive, and he's such. 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:20.160 A big dude. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:21.880 But the way he kind of bends and gets the 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.160 lean down around the edge, he's gonna be tough for 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:25.920 some of those bigger, you know, not so fleet of 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.520 foot tackles to handle this off this coming season. I 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.440 know he was here for half the season last year, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.520 but getting him in for the entire offseason program, getting 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.000 him on a defense that has already you know, he's 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.720 already intimately familiar with the scheme. This guy's one of 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.400 my picks to click in a way that's even better 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.040 than we saw a year ago. And between he and Phillips, like, 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.160 I asked, Kyle, what would you set the over under 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.400 for Saxby's two guys combined? He said twenty four, and 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.439 I said, I'm taking the over on that, man. I 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.360 think those guys could both push into the teams for 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.240 sacks this season. I continue to be very, very impressed 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.600 by the work of Andrew Van Ginkel. Let's go ahead 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.640 and go back to coachit real quick. Who had some 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.360 guys he pointed out who he thinks took a good 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.040 jump from OTA to training camp because I asked him, 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.160 you know, last year he talked about going, you know, Wattle, 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.520 taking that big jump from OTA to training camp. Who 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.000 are some guys this year? And he gave me a 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.840 really you know, as he is wont to do a 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.480 very interesting answer that ultimately did give me three names. 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.840 But he talked about how that's not necessarily something that's 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.440 similar this year, given year two in the system or 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:22.040 in the program. 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:27.080 This I think, I think the byproduct of being here. 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:33.480 A second year, I think there is a lot more 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:38.960 consistency with people knew what to expect in O TAS, 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:46.280 so their best foot forward, you know, was what the 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:47.240 expectation was. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.640 So is I don't see as much. 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:59.400 Distinction between OTAs and training camp and specifically with individuals. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:04.320 What I do see is people, more so than last year, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:11.680 utilized uh last year's training or or utilized last off 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:17.000 or the off seasons training and built upon that in 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.280 training camp, which is something that you kind of you're 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:20.520 kind of always worried about. 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.440 And you know, there's there's certain guys. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:30.160 You know, we've spoke about uh Van Ginkle's versatility. Well 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.200 he's utilized what he learned in O t A S 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.960 and has been able to do some really cool stuff 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:42.840 in training camp. You know, I think there's a lot 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:47.840 of a lot of the defensive players that are are 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:53.000 developing at a really cool rate and really flourishing within 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:53.600 the system. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.800 You know, I see young guys going after it. 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:01.480 Like uh, you know, like a Cam Good who you 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.400 know is trying to get on the field as best 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:04.880 he can. 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.560 You know, guys that have had some roles that they 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.080 want expanded, like Elijah Campbell. 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.680 You know, the list goes on and on, just because 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:23.400 I see guys getting coached at a high level and 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.200 guys wanting to be coached and guys responding to it. 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.000 Really really good stuff there. And Gink is just making 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.840 an impact in all three phases of that linebacker position, 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.120 which I feel like is sort of hitting the crescendo 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.079 of where he's really been progressing in all those areas 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.440 so far in his career. Like he's playing tight to 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.360 the point of attack and those kind of off ball 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.439 pick your gaps and go shoot and find the running 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.640 back type of plays. We know what he can do 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.480 finding space and coverage in the curl flat, his pass rush, 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.719 we know about that. It's all been very impressive and 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.760 he looks bigger and stronger. I saw him signing autographs 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.560 with the fans today. His arms and never looked that 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.240 big to me. So pretty excited about what Van Ginkle 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.720 does for your edge depth and your victual teams work. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.080 This season, and also some off ball work as well. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:04.920 I want to touch on those linebackers as well as 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.840 Elijah Campbell Moore. Let's go ahead and finish up on 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.120 the lines before we take our first break with these 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.599 last two. Christian Wilkins it's rinse repeat here, had a 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.720 couple of plays in team where he just tore through 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.440 the offensive line, but you already knew that. And then 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.640 Brandon Peeley had a really nice run stuff early on 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.280 in team where he knocked the running back down and 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:22.960 that doesn't go over very well, but he did have 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.160 a nice play there. Just got to keep your guys 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:26.920 up right, all right, go ahead and come back on 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:28.719 the other side and finish up the defense, get the 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.520 quarterbacks and the rest of the offense. And here's some 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.200 more sound all that. Next Draft Time Podcast, your host 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:38.600 Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. I want 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.280 to go back to the front seven and talk about 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.719 David Long Junior as we start the second segment of 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.520 this Monday, July thirty, first edition of the Draft Time Podcast. Who, 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.680 for my money is in the running for the best 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.360 camp of anybody out here so far? Five days in, 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.320 he made another handful of plays today, including a rep 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.640 right at the end of practice where he greeted the 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.920 back at the line of scrimmage, just dropped the shoulder 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.760 and you know, didn't up and do the whole you know, 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.000 contact thing, but there was a good little pop there is. 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.240 I think it was Devon a Chain also dropped his 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.760 shoulder in But you see Long peel off the play 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.240 and kind of go to a section where only he 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.559 is kind of surrounded by grass and let's out the 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.000 celebratory scream in a way that says like, yeah, I 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.240 did that shit, and we could all hear that scream 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:21.840 at the top of the bleachers and probably over in 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.040 Broward County as well. Let's go ahead and hear from 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.440 Jerome Baker on his new teammate at linebacker, David Long. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.280 Oh yeah, So, I mean we're kind of super similar. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:36.560 He's fast, I'm fast, he's Seawan, I'm sean. We kind 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.320 of just feed off each other, you know, when I'm 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:42.120 feeling sluggish, he's up and ready. When he's feeling sluggish, 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.720 I got his back. So it's kind of one of 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.560 those things that kind of meshal will. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.720 Yeah, I think it's looking pretty good for those two guys. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.720 Out there back in the secondary. I continue to be 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.000 pretty impressed by what we're seeing with Elijah Campbell, who's 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.040 taken on multiple roles in the past. He's played special teams. 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.760 You heard Coach talk about his versatility in that previous 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.120 Q and A with Coach. He's had good ball production 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.560 the last couple of days. I actually omitted his production 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.200 from Sunday's practice. He was really really dang good with 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.560 some PBUs and I felt bad about that because I 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.440 tweeted about it and then forgot to put in the podcast. 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:11.960 But I had a good chat with Elijah. Let's go 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.400 ahead and play that back and forth with Dolphin Safety 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:15.080 Elijah Campbell. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:16.120 Oh, I feel a lot better. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:17.840 I mean, obviously a new scheme coming in, you know, 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.240 you got it's starting from ground zero. So as of 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.520 last year, I was throughout the season kind of getting 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.600 the hang of the last scheme that we were running. 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:28.040 So this year, obviously it started slowing on Ta's but 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.200 they kind of frontloaded it. So then coming back out 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.240 into training camp, we kind of had a broad picture 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:38.200 of what we're gonna do, and we basically were able 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.480 to pick up from where we left off. So I 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.680 think I just I pretty much studied a lot during 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.240 the off season, you know, our six week breaking to 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:47.960 make sure I was prepared coming in for Trump. 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.400 You mentioned your versatility. How challenging is it to learn 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.760 rules among multiple different positions where you kind of bounce around? 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:58.720 Pleasing response, I mean, once you I feel like it's 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:02.000 a benefit obviously more positions. You know, then you know 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.160 what your partners are doing and who you're working with. 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.200 So and finishing up in the secondary, Holland had a 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.720 very nice pass breakup. Pretty much every day that's happening, 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.640 this one on Jalen Waddle from Skyler Thompson. I thought 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:14.880 X had one of his best days, really disrupting the 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.720 timing of routes and the relationship between the wide receivers 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.040 and quarterbacks. It's kind of fitting the X is having 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:21.880 his best work when the pads come on because he 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.640 is such a physical, imposing player. Speaking of best days, 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.880 my goodness, rookie Campsmith continues to flash. I think I 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.440 had three more PBUs for him today, at least two. 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.520 You guys saw the one where he ran across the 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.520 field and that over route and the receiver, you know, 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.880 balls a little bit behind and it welcomes camp Smith 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.080 back into the frame. I think a perfectly located ball 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.520 on there on that throw from Skyler would have equated 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.480 to a completion. But it wasn't a perfect ball. But 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.600 he just got on his horse and showed you the 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.080 athletic ability to make the diving pass breakup, and that 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:54.040 length continues to show up, and it just you can 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.160 see why he was a top fifty one pick. But 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.280 I liked his first pass breakup even better because he 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.200 drove on this pass where he's you know, squatting in 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.359 the zone and kind of keying the quarterback and sees 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.600 a running back come out of the concept and play 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.680 in front of him, and he anticipates it in a 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.560 way that puts him in position to kind of read 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.360 it before the quarterback even saw it. And that's this defense, right, 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.920 squat process, keep the quarterback key their eyes, anticipate based 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.240 off the route concept, and then find the football. The 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.040 only thing he didn't do on that play after he 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.800 jumped in front of the route and you know, put 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.520 himself in position for the pick, was he didn't finish it. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.520 But I know that based office college tape, he does 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.159 plenty of that. I thought Deshaun Elliott had a very 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.000 nice day. I tried to watch the way he and 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.720 Javon rotate back there and move together and kind of disguise, 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.879 and there's lots of that. Obviously we know about that 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.960 from the Vic Fangio defense, but I just think their 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.320 chemistry is growing and they're doing a really good job 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.040 of disguising what they do back there. We've broken down 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.119 lots of sacks, and one of the integral ingredients of 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.520 the recipe of good is good coverage, and we've been 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:52.119 getting that from all the guys, and a lot of 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:53.919 that is that kind of top shelf of the defense 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:57.080 back there with Javon and Deshaun Elliott and coverage. Finally, 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.560 Justin Bethel had a really nice pick on a similar 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.680 play that we saw with Cam Smith and the PBu 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.880 where he undercut the route, but instead of not making 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.560 the catch, he did pick off Mike White, and that's 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.280 the defense. I think we can go ahead and spind 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.160 this four now to the offense sans offensive line, which 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.240 we already talked about. We've been putting this off for 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.080 a minute now. We're about what twenty minutes into the 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.640 podcast fifteen. I don't know something like that. Not talking quarterbacks, 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.520 Let's go ahead and do that right now. I thought 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.199 two was timing was excellent today, which is something I 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.720 feel like I can really, you know, I think can 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.320 take this offense to another level if they just dialed 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.800 that in even an extra one percent. Not to say 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.960
