0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 2>brief look in the day three and tell you about

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>some of my annoying trends so far from this draft

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>season that I've noticed off Twitter dot con. From the

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Baptist Hell Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 2>is the Drive Time Podcast. With the fifty fifth pick.

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty four, the Dolphins made Houston's Patrick Paul

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the newest member of the Auckland Orange.

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:18.320
<v Speaker 1>So there you go.

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 2>You get your offensive lineman that I read so much

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>about in the last twenty four hours. Build your waller

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>on the quarterback, right, we got him. We start the

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>film here, and my first exposure to Patrick Paul was

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>that the Senior Bowl this year.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was I thought that that was one of.

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>The more impressive performers at this year's Senior Bowl. Massive,

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>massive human being six foot seven and a half, three

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty one pounds, thirty bench reps with thirty

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>six inch arms is absolutely insane. That's ninety third percentile

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 2>all time at the combine with bench press and with

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>arms that are also in that similar category.

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>The five one three forty yard.

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Dash was eighty first percentile all time among tackle and

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>the height and weight both in the ninety second percentile

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 2>with an eighty third percent Tile ten split time of

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>one seven seven. So to be that big and to

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 2>move that well and to be that strong, you can

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>see what the thinking is here with a player who

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't have great college tape at Houston, and how the

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 2>projection for the best ball of his career to be next.

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of the thinking here with this player.

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>But back to the tape, the strength again was evident

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 2>There were reps at that Senior Bowl where he positively

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 2>ragged all guys. There were reps where I thought he

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>got a little bit exposed by giving access to his

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 2>chest play and then guys were able to get him

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 2>going backwards on the track to the quarterback. So I

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>think you look at the good reps and see what

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 2>he was able to do. Then you look at the

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 2>not so good reps and you see what went wrong

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>there and where you can't correct that, And wouldn't you

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>know it. Chris Greer and Mike McDaniel said the exact

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 2>same thing in their Friday night recap presser after taking

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Patrick ball.

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 4>Yes, we feel confident that he can swing. Obviously, he's

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 4>been a left tackle that we spent a lot of

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 4>time with. We met with him at the Senior Bowl

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 4>for a while the combine. We had him here on

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 4>a thirty visit, so he was very enthusiastic about his

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 4>intensions of wanting to play here. He really enjoyed his

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 4>interactions with the coaching staff and us and watching him

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 4>on film and some of the things we liked about

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 4>how he plays, and he knows he's got some things

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 4>to work on. He's very honest and direct, and that's

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 4>what we really appreciated, and we're very excited to work

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.399
<v Speaker 4>with him because I think he's a very talented player.

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 2>And that's going to be a theme throughout the soundbites

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 2>be played for you guys here. And I appreciate the

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>transparency about the approach and the process there from both

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Mike and Chris. We've seen that be the case with

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 2>some draft picks here in the past, and they've turned

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>out to be some of our best players. I think

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>about Austin Jackson, a twenty year old who got better

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>and better and broke out last season after an injury

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>really wiped out his entire third year back in twenty

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty two and kind of put a plateau into that

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>projection or that growth for the time being, and then

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>he ends up having the breakout season in year number four.

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's not so uncommon for offensive lineman. That takes

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>some time, especially given the modern college game. The way

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 2>it's coached right now in college is just different. It's like,

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 2>get up off the ground, get back to the line

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 2>of scrimmage. We can go fast and get our playoff

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>here in the next fifteen seconds. Get your signals from

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>the sideline and let's go just more of a focus

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>on getting back to the line than there is finishing blocks,

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and that creates some bad habits and technique. I think

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of the issue here with Patrick Paul and

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 2>one of the fastest offense is one of the innovators

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 2>and originators of the hurry up, get to the line

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>of scrimmage offenses in Dana Holgersson there with the Houston

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Cougars previously at West Virginia. Obviously, I think it's a

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>very real thing that impacts the development of offensive linemen in

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the league and why there's such a scarcity in terms

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>of offensive line talent versus the pass rush that we've

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 2>seen get better and better every year, and the old

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>line's catching up a little bit and the pendulum's coming

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 2>back a little bit.

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>But that's kind of what I wanted to explain to you.

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Guys here in terms of development and why we've seen

0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>offensive line play kind of deteriorate over the last team

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 2>five ten years in the National Football League. And so

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 2>if you're taking a player with that development track, take

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>the most impressive looking player, right, trust your coaches. And

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 2>that's another thing. Who has earned more goodwill or should

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>be trusted more than what Butch Berry did last season

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 2>with an offensive line that, again a lot of the

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins fans out there were not happy with how that

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:22.919
<v Speaker 2>line looked at the beginning of the year and you

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 2>wind up getting number one offense in the NFL. Now,

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 2>things fell apart late in the season, and that's a

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 2>big part of injuries on the offensive line. But that's

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of another reason why you want to make a

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 2>pick here on the offensive line. But I thought Austin Rob,

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Rob Hunt, Isaiah Wim Kendall Lamb all had the best

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>years of their careers last season. And Keon Smith went

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 2>from a guy that I didn't think could make a

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 2>ninety man roster to suddenly he makes a fifty three

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 2>man roster and has intrigued for me going forward. He

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 2>looked totally different to me in twenty twenty three than

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 2>he did in twenty twenty two. And that's a testament

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.119
<v Speaker 2>to the Dolphins coaching staff and development plan for Keon Smith.

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>And so there's projection there.

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 2>And look, I keep seeing these comments about win now

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 2>the window is closing. It didn't get immediate impact players,

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>and we'll address that at the very end of the podcast.

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>But if you were drafting just for twenty twenty four,

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.719
<v Speaker 2>you're doing it wrong, man, Like. These players are not

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 2>finished products, and you never drafted player for what they

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 2>could be in their rookie season, and some guys' rookie

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>years are total washes. Yeah, there's usually some visions, some

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 2>flashes of what it could look like. It's just not

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.919
<v Speaker 2>how the NFL works, man Like, if you're firing off

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:29.720
<v Speaker 2>tweets about how it's a bad pick because it can't

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 2>help you right away on Week one twenty twenty four,

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't know what's going on inside the walls of

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 2>an NFL billing. No, nobody've views it that way. Nobody does,

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and the ones that do, they don't last very long.

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 2>That was not the outlook when they began this entire

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 2>rebuild back in twenty nineteen. It was about sustained success,

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 2>and they've done a good job of susaying that success

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 2>in terms of winning double digit games every year except

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>for one back to back playoff runs eleven wins last year. Like,

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 2>that's just sustained success is the goal there, and they

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 2>want to be winners that keep going forward, and to

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.719
<v Speaker 2>do that you have to keep the pipeline full and moving,

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 2>and quite frankly, I love the foresight to consider not

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>just twenty twenty four, but beyond that. I think that

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 2>both Chop and Paul are guys that will have linear

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 2>progress as they get older and get more pro reps

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>and become better versions of themselves every single year they

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 2>go down this thing. Let's go ahead and go back

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 2>to Chris Greer about this pick and ultimately what intrigued

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Miami about Patrick Paul.

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 4>This is an athletic ability for guys because he is

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 4>and just even when he's not perfect with technique, which

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, butch and Mike and the staff here Frank

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 4>Cavall shown that that's a very point that symphasized around

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 4>here very heavily so for him, even when he's not perfect,

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 4>when you have a guy that big with that length,

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 4>that he can still block people at times when he's

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 4>not right. But the changes that he made from last

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 4>season even in college into this season, you can see

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 4>the growth in the player and wanting to get better.

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 4>So we're excited. We think he has another level he

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 4>can take it to and he wants to and that's

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 4>an important part that he wants to be good and

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 4>wants to.

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Be coach, So this was a player.

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 2>They spent lots and lots of time with Senior Bowl meeting,

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 2>combine meeting, thirty visit here in South Florida at the

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 2>facility here in Miami Gardens, and they mentioned how eager

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Patrick was about wanting to be a Miami Dolphin. Reer

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>mentions that Paul's agent was texting Friday morning, staying, this

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 2>kid's driving me crazy about how bad he wants to

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 2>be there in Miami with you guys.

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I want guys that want to be here too.

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Quite personally, I also want elite athletes with the size

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to be malers. And that's when I saw at the

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Senior Bowl practices, I wrote my notes, I'm intrigued here,

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 2>but I need to see how he operates out in space,

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>and literally the next rep in my notes, he pulls

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 2>playside and goes and takes out a cornerback in team

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.560
<v Speaker 2>drills outside the numbers and puts him on his back.

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.959
<v Speaker 2>And I noted this, He's gonna have an unreal tensplit,

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I bet when it comes to the combine, and he

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 2>goes and notches an eighty third percentile ten split and

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>when you're ninety third percentile in size. It reminds me

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>of a press conference that McDaniel gay when he was

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 2>the OC back in San Francisco, where he was asked

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 2>about the Nailers offensive line being full of late round

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.960
<v Speaker 2>picks and new DFAs, and he said, look, that's not

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 2>like by design, that's just kind of how it worked out.

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 2>But ideally you engineer a seven foot, four hundred pounds

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 2>offensive lineman, and Paul is about as close as it

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.079
<v Speaker 2>gets to just that. So it's almost like a bit

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 2>of a pivot off of what McDaniel had prioritized in

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 2>the past. We knew that two years ago, was hey,

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Tua gets the ball out so fast. He can mitigate

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.959
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the offensive line issues you might have.

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 2>So let's go ahead and maximize the skill set that

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.079
<v Speaker 2>he offers, which is less offensive line, more playmakers to

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 2>make you know, intermediate throws, explosive plays, and they go

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 2>out and get Tyreek Hill. But now he's kind of

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 2>going against the grain with the idea of getting a massive,

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 2>impressive ball of clay and the intentions of developing that

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 2>player under a very good offensive line coach, a very

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 2>good offensive corner a very good head coach who all

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 2>have there have had their their fingers in the pot

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 2>of offensive line play in the past. I mean like

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 2>the pro which makes perfect sense to me. If you

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>can't see that, I don't know how else to explain that.

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 2>And if you might not like the player, the approach

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 2>in the idea is all sound and that's all I

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 2>think you can ask for in this process of the draft.

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 2>And how does Patrick Paul use the length that he

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>does feature with the eighty seven inch wingspan, thirty six

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 2>inch arms, three hundred and thirty one pound frame, how

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 2>does he use that length to his advantage?

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and go back to Mike and Chris

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>one more time.

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 4>But again it's like you talk when he's even when

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 4>he's not perfect, which you know it happens in our

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 4>league college all the time. That length allows him to

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 4>recover because he is so long and he's got some

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 4>strength and power to him that it enables him to

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 4>recover even at times. So that's an intriguing an thing.

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 4>With all the tackles, everyone talks about length, athletic ability

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 4>and size and those things you can't teach. And so

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 4>he has that in an abundance and.

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 5>That I am a suck, like a sucker for length

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.679
<v Speaker 5>that guys that like to play with their hands so

0:10:58.720 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 5>they actually can use it.

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why I said one more time, though,

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna hear from them three more times. But I

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>want to go ahead and address the negative here that

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I've seen discussed on Twitter and from my own film

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Toody as well, because I do think there are some

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>things he's gonna have to work on. Like Chris and

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Mike have both told you, he's too often exposed in

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 2>the chest, which allows guys to strike in control and

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 2>drive him back. And that's part of the technique that's

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 2>getting over extended. That's having bad sets and you know,

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 2>not having your hands in the right place, And that's

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.719
<v Speaker 2>a common flaw with guys at that height who can

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 2>get driven back because he plays too high and his

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 2>feet come off the turf. And you cannot not have

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.200
<v Speaker 2>cleats in the ground. All your force and power is

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>generated from the ground, and you have to have cletes

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 2>in the ground to go ahead and do that. So

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.959
<v Speaker 2>if you're feeter off the ground, you're gonna lose. Every

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.679
<v Speaker 2>single time. He struggled with leverage a lot on the

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Houston tape. I imagine that's part of what McDaniel and

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Greer were getting at. He got beat across the face

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 2>a little bit too frequently with quick jump sets and

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>where he was exposed in the B gap and gave

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 2>that up inside. And I think that's a big part

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.960
<v Speaker 2>of where Tron Armstead comes into play here and can

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>be a great teacher for him because both career McDaniel

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that Armsteads are very eager about helping offensive lineman, saying,

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I want you guys to draft O linman so I

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 2>can work with them, because t Stad's a master at

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 2>explaining and teaching technique of setting and what difference says

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 2>can do for you. The jumps had to go cut

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 2>a guy off at the pass. There was a great

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>dummy set that he did on Micah Parsons that got

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>him to the ground on one of the game winning

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 2>plays a screen at Tyreek Hill in that Cowboys game.

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.599
<v Speaker 2>I think Patrick Paul ducks into his run blocks a

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.559
<v Speaker 2>little bit too much and can get off balance as

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 2>a result, and also produces hands outside the shoulders, which

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 2>obviously means holding calls and there's not a lot of

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 2>flexibility to kick inside and play on the interior, which

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I kind of wish we have a twenty twenty four

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.440
<v Speaker 2>but you don't get that here with Patrick Paul.

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think right away.

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he can convert in there, but I don't see

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 2>it at that size and where he needs work with

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 2>his technique and fundamentals. So good stuff there. I think

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 2>it's a good place. Take a break for the first

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 2>portion of the podcast. When we come back, more notes

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>on the fit in Miami, the data from his game,

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.199
<v Speaker 2>and more audio from Mike and Chris. That's all next

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Draft Time Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you

0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 2>by AutoNation Patrick Paul Houston. Krueger's is here. He is glorious.

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 2>He's a massive tackle. The Dolphins like with the fifty

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 2>fifth pick in the twenty twenty four NFL Draft.

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>How does he fit with your Miami Dolphins what they

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:13.559
<v Speaker 1>want to do.

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and start here with some audio from

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Mike McDaniel.

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's intriguing to have again the off the

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 5>tape here. You're like, Wow, this is a big guy,

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 5>but you know there's position functionality an athlete that that

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 5>has the foot quickness to cut off a B gap

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 5>or or get to the four technique to the second

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 5>level with urgency, so that projects as some cool displacement,

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:53.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, as a tool for a blocker. And again

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.839
<v Speaker 5>that's that's why we keep talking about the human being

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:03.319
<v Speaker 5>tied to the play player because those type of things,

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 5>you know, he has the ability to be really good

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 5>at with a lot of deliberate work and motivation to

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:17.440
<v Speaker 5>do so those nuances, he's totally fit to to really

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 5>do well in our footwork fundamentally, and we feel very

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 5>confident he's willing to put in the work to master

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 5>the craft.

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean Austin tarn key On Smith, Ryan Hayes, these

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 2>guys were all in that same mold right, same with

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Connor and Rob and Isaiah on the inside. It's a

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 2>non negotiable to player. You have to fire off the football.

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 2>It's critical to this offense in the play action game

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 2>and making every snap, run game or pass game look

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 2>the exact same. So Greer and McDaniel said that he

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 2>will start as a tackle, but they never want a

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 2>pigeonhole a player into a spot. And McDaniel jokingly said

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 2>when Greer said, hey, he could he could play center

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 2>if if Mike wants him to and he said, could

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 2>to a see over him. It's a big center. Yeah,

0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 2>six seven is probably too big to play center. So

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 2>that's all ingest there. So it sounds like tackle is

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the focus for now, is probably what it should be,

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>and that's the only spot he played in college nearly

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 2>three thousand reps, all of those at left tackle. You know,

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure I understand the hand ringing over the

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 2>idea of going tackle. We went through this with Cam

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Smith and cornerbacks last year, and then by day two

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 2>of camp we were down multiple cornerbacks and realized, oh,

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 2>we need some cornerback help, which you know, Camp didn't

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 2>play last year. But the again, the vision, the idea

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>of the thought. You can see the process there behind that.

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>We went through it last night with the edge rushers.

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, do we not remember street free agent Brandon

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Shell starting half the season at right tackle in twenty

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty two. Do we not remember eighty percent of our

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 2>offensive line being down for most of the month of

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 2>December and playing with four backups on the offensive line.

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just wild to me how quickly we forget. But

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 2>I digress for now. Premium positions if both Paul and

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 2>chop hit. You get five and four good years because

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the five year fifth year option for a first round

0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 2>pick and obviously four years for a second round player

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 2>at two of the four most expensive positions in the

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 2>entire National Football League quarterback and wide receiver also in there,

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 2>And there's clearly a focus here on upside. Frankly, I'm

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 2>a huge fan of drafting impressive athletes with the idea

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 2>that you can develop them down the road into the

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>best versions of themselves. We didn't have that steady pipeline

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 2>the last two years, with draft picks being so heavily

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 2>traded away for veteran talent. And I like having Bradley Chubb,

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I like having Tyreek Hill. But to me, this signals

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 2>the idea of sustained winning and trying to keep your

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 2>pipeline fresh for years to come. We already have a

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 2>top ten roster, so I obviously love that you can

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 2>win now and build for the future and have players

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 2>that kind of fit both that mold there. Because Patrick

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Paul's going to play this year, Guys like we had

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 2>so many tackle reps last year that were lost to injury,

0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Like he's gonna play.

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna play at some point.

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of all that, let's go ahead and go back

0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 2>to Chris career when I asked him the process of

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 2>creating a developmental plan for a player you draft. Do

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 2>you have that plan in place before you draft the player?

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you put it in when you draft him? Is

0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 2>it something you do in the summer during OTAs? How

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 2>do you put together a plan for how to develop

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 2>a player coming out of I.

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 4>Think every player needs development would come in. So I

0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 4>think when we say that, it's just, you know, we

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.680
<v Speaker 4>don't think any player comes in ready made, no matter

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.840
<v Speaker 4>who it is, from the first pick to they all

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.159
<v Speaker 4>have something they need to work on. And so I

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 4>think the good thing about Mike and the staff is

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 4>that they're always it's always talked about development. Even with

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 4>our guys that are starters here, it's still talking about

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 4>developmental plans for anyone, whether it's Jalen Phillips or something.

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's always development and that's the core principle

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.640
<v Speaker 4>of Mike and his staff, and I think that's why

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.640
<v Speaker 4>you saw the jump in a lot of players ability

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.119
<v Speaker 4>and the things they've done on the field over the

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:35.920
<v Speaker 4>last couple of years.

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Paul was a two time captain of Houston, the guy

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.280
<v Speaker 2>that would do their media days alongside Dania Holgerson in

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the preseason. He was a guy that other players in

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 2>the team would go to for advice and guidance. Per

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Dane Brewers, the beast on the athletic, his draft guy

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 2>that he puts out every year.

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>That's a good way to close up the press or portion.

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I think McDaniel talking about the eagerness that Patrick Paul

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 2>has to work and how coachable this young man is.

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 5>He exhibited how you know, how easily it would be

0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 5>for him to immerse into what he needs to immerse

0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:12.480
<v Speaker 5>into too, you know, adjust to our scheme and you

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.680
<v Speaker 5>know with it's it's rare when you get a guy

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:20.920
<v Speaker 5>that's focused on being great at a size and length

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 5>that that he has, with the quick quickness and balance

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 5>and athleticism too, uh to play the position on multiple levels.

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 5>So that very confident that this is a guy, you

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 5>know who The personnel department was way in front of this.

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:43.719
<v Speaker 5>We met with him at the combine and had him

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 5>in here, so I spent a lot of time with

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:51.880
<v Speaker 5>him and he uh he shared some exuberance about wanting

0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.880
<v Speaker 5>to be a dolphin. So he's he's all the way

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 5>finds up right now.

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.480
<v Speaker 2>The last thing all note here, and I know that

0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 2>we got a lot of Houston Cougar tape grinders doing

0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:01.960
<v Speaker 2>all the work out there telling you about this pick,

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 2>but data Holgerson runs a very RPO heavy attack that

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.880
<v Speaker 2>has similar emphasis in terms of firing off the football

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 2>and being quick and utilizing the run action step your

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.640
<v Speaker 2>playpass game and incorporates all different types of running schemes.

0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 2>More on that moment, but first, in fact, let's do

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:18.880
<v Speaker 2>it on the other side and go ahead and take

0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 2>our last break great here of the podcast, come back

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.360
<v Speaker 2>and do the data and the metrics and hear from

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Patrick and do a very brief look ahead to Day

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 2>three of the twenty twenty four NFL Draft. That's Next

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:35.440
<v Speaker 2>by Auto Nation. Before we get into the metrics and

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.119
<v Speaker 2>the PFF stats, I think the one thing you must

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 2>must look at when evaluating prospects is the jumps they

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.359
<v Speaker 2>made year over year in college. And for Paul and

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 2>you heard Greer mention, this twenty twenty three was vastly

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.200
<v Speaker 2>better than twenty twenty two, and I think you attribute

0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 2>that work to work and improvement technique or a technique improvement.

0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I should say, he just he's a grinder and you'll

0:19:58.359 --> 0:19:59.960
<v Speaker 2>meet him here in one second through the zoom call

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 2>we did with him after he was drafted. There's a

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:07.640
<v Speaker 2>very lightheartedness and very excitable element to his personality. Now

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 2>he'll have to learn how to play this offensive line

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.280
<v Speaker 2>here in Miami. It's a different system and tougher to learn,

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.359
<v Speaker 2>but once you get it down, it really becomes a

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:19.480
<v Speaker 2>benefit a scheme, an offensive line friendly scheme that McDaniel

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 2>has constructed here in Miami. But he's gonna put the

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 2>work in. This is a guy that's That's all he

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 2>talked about is how coachable he is. And this coaching

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 2>staff has several offensive line gurus on it like where

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 2>that's probably that's a big reason why he wanted to

0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:33.359
<v Speaker 2>come here. Frank Smith is that guy. He did that

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 2>in New Orleans for a long time. Butch Barry is

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 2>definitely that hit good. I love watching him. Coach Mike

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 2>McDaniel is just that as a former run game coordinator.

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. I just think trust those guys,

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 2>But what the hell do I know? Some PFF data

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 2>here for you guys, a ninety eight point nine pass

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:52.680
<v Speaker 2>block efficiency was tied for six in college football among

0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 2>all tackles. That means one point one percent of his

0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:56.879
<v Speaker 2>pass sets he allowed a pressure.

0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:58.639
<v Speaker 1>It's not bad. I mentioned the very.

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Run game reps that he ran eighty eight reps last

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 2>year on inside zone, eighty nine reps on outside zone,

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 2>and he also had sixty eight reps where he was

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 2>either in power or counter.

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 1>That's man gap scheme.

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 2>This is all different types of schemes and techniques and

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 2>running actions that you can you can dial up at

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the course of a game, and he's pretty well spread

0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:20.159
<v Speaker 2>across all three. So maybe the run game emphasis and

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 2>the run game technique, maybe there's a little more to

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:24.440
<v Speaker 2>chew on there in terms of just how ready he

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 2>can be, but also the pass protection like ninety eight

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:30.680
<v Speaker 2>point nine pbe's that's tiron arms set level numbers right there.

0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 2>PFF also graded him a perfect one hundred percent in

0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:36.960
<v Speaker 2>past blog grade on true pass sets. Those are non

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:41.120
<v Speaker 2>play action passe sets, so there's no deceiving the defense,

0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 2>straight dropback true passet typically third and long type of plays.

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 1>No pressures allowed on those. You guys understand how crazy it.

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 2>There's no pressure on true passe sets and twenty twenty

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.879
<v Speaker 2>three for Patrick Ball, they also gave him a ninety

0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 2>two grade in man gap scheme run blocking, something we

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.240
<v Speaker 2>saw Miami dabble more in in twenty twenty three, and

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:00.879
<v Speaker 2>in fact, I'm kind of learning this as I go

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 2>on the podcast right now. We saw the Niners and

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 2>the Rams last year dive more into into more man

0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 2>running schemes, and that's kind of been the I guess,

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 2>the curveball in this Shanahan mcveag tree of this offense.

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 2>And so maybe there's some thinking there with the Dolphins

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.000
<v Speaker 2>with Patrick Paul as well. He was great at a

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:21.280
<v Speaker 2>seventy two in zone blocking and this is the one

0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 2>right here the tracks with what Chris Greer said, forty

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.119
<v Speaker 2>two grade and negatively great run blocking plays, which just

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 2>means when he loses, he loses pretty badly. And there

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 2>are a good chunk of losses in that tape. But

0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:33.399
<v Speaker 2>again that's the part of the technique and the coaching

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 2>up aspect of all this, that when he gets all

0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:37.359
<v Speaker 2>the technique right and you get him in the building

0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and you get him playing Miami Dolphins football, they think

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:42.480
<v Speaker 2>they can negate that number significantly and get you more

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 2>of that one hundred grade in the true pass blocking

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 2>set or the ninety two grade in the man gap

0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 2>scheme blocking some more PFF numbers here. He exceeded eight

0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 2>hundred snaps in each of the last three years. Durability

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.119
<v Speaker 2>is great to have that. He allowed one sack this

0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:57.159
<v Speaker 2>year and one sack last year. He allowed one QB

0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 2>hit this year and three QB hits last year, So

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.200
<v Speaker 2>that is is my mask's not very good yet. That's

0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 2>four five six times the quarterback was hit because of

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Paul in two seasons average of three per season.

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:13.080
<v Speaker 2>He allowed just seven hurries this season. That's nine pressures

0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 2>this year on four hundred and ninety six pass blocking

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:19.679
<v Speaker 2>snaps or a ninety eight point nine pass block efficiency.

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Very good in that regard.

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Their Draft Guide notes how they felt his posture improved

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:26.199
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty three, and I really like how that

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:28.720
<v Speaker 2>projects for the future of his growth and improvement in

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the National Football League. Just want to go ahead and

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 2>pull up some Brandon Thorn notes for you guys. They

0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Bleacher Report, great o line guru who does work with

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Masterminds and toront Arms as well. In Duke Mannyweather excellent

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:40.399
<v Speaker 2>length with tight clench and strong hands a tie up

0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.879
<v Speaker 2>defenders once latched, good athletic ability with the necessary quickness

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 2>and agilitia to get to landmarks and pass protection and

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.359
<v Speaker 2>intersect targets on the move. As a run blocker, cast

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:51.720
<v Speaker 2>a wide net with his length that helps him impede

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.880
<v Speaker 2>and slow down rushers who get his edges. Good stopping

0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 2>power and strain in his anchor to promptly dissipate the

0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 2>bull rush brings an edge chippy personality and finish this

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 2>with the echo of the whistle. Love that part. Negatives

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 2>upright playing south with an exposed chest and propensity to

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:09.119
<v Speaker 2>hold defenders due to late looping hand placement. The results

0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 2>in his hands landing high and wide on target. Needs

0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:14.639
<v Speaker 2>to do a better job of maximizing length and keeping

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:17.199
<v Speaker 2>defenders at his fingertips rather than allow them access and

0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:19.959
<v Speaker 2>to his frame. Kind Of on the same page as

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:24.520
<v Speaker 2>me here, Brandon Head dips into overextension on angle drive

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 2>and base blocks against post snat movement across his face.

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Bad habit of drifting and oversetting on angled forty five

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 2>degree sets, creating a soft inside shoulder against counter moves

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and can get a little bit lazy at the top

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:38.080
<v Speaker 2>of the quarterbacks drop, letting his pads rise before falling

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 2>off inside move. So really interesting stuff there. It tracks

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:43.479
<v Speaker 2>we've heard from Greer, we heard from McDaniel. It's all

0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:45.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of in that same frame of mind.

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:45.480
<v Speaker 1>There.

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and close this podcast up with a

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 2>couple of comments here from Patrick Paul himself. First off,

0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 2>I loved seeing him on the zoom because the smile

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 2>on the face of this man matched everything both Chris

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 2>and Mike spoke about with him. Here's Patrick Paul real

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 2>quick on why my me was so attractive to him.

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 3>During the whole process, I've talked to them multiple times.

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:08.919
<v Speaker 3>I remember talking to Chris at the Senior Bowl and

0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 3>it was a great conversation that me and him had.

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Just then moving on forward at the Combine, had a

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 3>great interview with both of them, and then to the

0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 3>our thirty visit that we had. It was amazing, you know,

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 3>really getting to spend that much time with them. I

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 3>knew that I wanted to be coached by coach McDaniels

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:27.479
<v Speaker 3>and coach bush Berry, and it was amazing. It was

0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 3>something I knew from the minute I started talking to

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 3>him that I wanted to be in Miami Dolphins. So

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:32.600
<v Speaker 3>this is a blessing.

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Nice sir, and I understand you actually have the same

0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:37.200
<v Speaker 1>agent as Devon h Chan.

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:39.199
<v Speaker 4>How close are you two and what do you think

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:40.680
<v Speaker 4>about getting to block for him?

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:43.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he's a great player. I watched him throughout

0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:46.240
<v Speaker 3>his college career. We don't have a relationship yet, but

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 3>that's gonna be my dog. I already know, you know.

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 3>So I'm excited to get out there and I'm ready

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 3>to get.

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:52.760
<v Speaker 2>To work, wanting to be coached by these guys wanting

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 2>to play for the Miami Dolphins. I mean, how can

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:55.920
<v Speaker 2>you not love hearing that. It's so cool to hear

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 2>a player that had his mindset on where he wanted

0:25:58.000 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 2>to go. Let's go ahead and play one more here

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 2>on what the Dolphins are getting in Patrick Paul.

0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 1>From the man himself, it's.

0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Gonna be great. You asked, what do I bring it

0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:08.199
<v Speaker 3>to the Miami Dolphins. I'm gonna bring a resilient player

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 3>who's a great teammate, someone who's handles business in the

0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:15.480
<v Speaker 3>locker room, outside the locker room, outside the facility. Someone

0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 3>who's gonna come inside or come every day with the

0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 3>same mindset, and that's the work, and that's to compete

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 3>every day, be a great teammate, and I'm gonna bring

0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:25.680
<v Speaker 3>it every day and help to end my career with

0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:27.120
<v Speaker 3>the Miami Dolphins. So that's the goal.

0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Talked about that last time with Chop Robinson. A great player,

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:33.159
<v Speaker 2>a great teammate, and locker room presidence. That's something this

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 2>team will never ever, They'll never concede that that idea.

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:38.760
<v Speaker 2>There's going to be great characters in the locker room

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 2>every single time. It's not tough to see why they

0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:43.679
<v Speaker 2>love this young man. Vibrant personality, the eagerness is evident.

0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:46.920
<v Speaker 2>He also said he was a martial arts enthusiast, which

0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:50.480
<v Speaker 2>tracks with McDaniel saying how much he loves his hand use,

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:52.679
<v Speaker 2>good stuff all around. I cannot wait to watch this

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 2>young man. And we're not going to do a day

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 2>three options here. I just want to tell you about

0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 2>three players I like. Because there's sixty picks ahead of

0:26:58.520 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 2>where we're gonna pick.

0:26:59.359 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I just want to go.

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I had mentioned three guys I like for the Dolphins here.

0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Mason McCormick, the guard from South Dakota State, has a

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:07.440
<v Speaker 2>nasty temperament to play inside some good man gap scheme

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 2>and outside zone. There as South Dakota State Louisville running

0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:13.400
<v Speaker 2>back Isaac Garrendo four three to three speed home run hitter.

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 2>If he's there on the board at any point, I

0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 2>would take him. Oregon State wide receiver Anthony Gold. Those

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:19.919
<v Speaker 2>are a few of my guys late in this year's drafts.

0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead and close with this thought here, because look,

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:24.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm on Twitter more than I want to be.

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll be honest about that, because I truly loathed that

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 2>place these days, and especially now with like the you know,

0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:33.359
<v Speaker 2>commercializing it and engagement farming and getting all these picks

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 2>in bio tweets like thanks a lot elon, you ruined

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 2>what was pretty cool man, But also some of the

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:42.360
<v Speaker 2>comments like terrible pick, window closing. Need players to win now,

0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:45.200
<v Speaker 2>like what, man, wasn't the whole thing last night about

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the offensive line? And are you really out there grinding

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Houston tape? Do you really have a sense of if

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 2>it was a good pick or not? And if you don't,

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:54.479
<v Speaker 2>why would you just like ask questions about it?

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:56.119
<v Speaker 1>I just don't. I'll never get that.

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:59.359
<v Speaker 2>And look, Simon Clancy, I respect his work as much

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 2>as anybody hated the pick. Kyle Krabs didn't love it,

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and I respect their opinions that think the concerns they

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:06.639
<v Speaker 2>have are very valid, but they've also been wrong before.

0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 1>They could be wrong again.

0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:09.240
<v Speaker 2>And I'm never gonna trust someone more than I trust

0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 2>McDaniel when it comes to the Dolphins offense. Remember they

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:13.359
<v Speaker 2>were number one last year. Remember that number one offense

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:16.240
<v Speaker 2>in the National Football League. I just can't fathom complaining

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 2>about a pick and calling it awful because of the

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 2>perception that you have about how quickly he can play

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 2>or the position he plays, which baffles me. I thought

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 2>we wanted offensive line or that you thought it was

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 2>a reach. Dude, you don't know, Like I just can't

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:31.359
<v Speaker 2>with a terrible pick, Fire Greer, I can't believe we

0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't take someone who can contribute right now. You don't

0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:36.399
<v Speaker 2>know if he can or can't. You're projecting entirely with that.

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 2>You don't know that right Like, voice your concerns, but

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 2>just speaking in such finality, why what good does it

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:44.400
<v Speaker 2>do you? I don't know, man, we do this stuff

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 2>every year, it feels like, and we never learned from it.

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, collectively, I just think that it's an

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 2>adult thing to voice your concerns and have discourse and

0:28:52.720 --> 0:28:56.160
<v Speaker 2>not just be miserable and crap on everything your team does.

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I saw one person say, Travis, you would have ripped

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 2>the organization of Shreds for this before you got this job,

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 2>and I would just say, no, you've never listened to

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 2>me ever, because I did this job in twenty nineteen

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't take that approach then. I've always been

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:11.240
<v Speaker 2>one to tell you what I think might be a

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 2>problem and voice those concerns and be depressed with you guys,

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 2>and we lose big games, it hurts me to my core.

0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:18.840
<v Speaker 2>But I also tend to focus on where it could

0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 2>be a hit, what the positives could be. And that's

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:24.360
<v Speaker 2>what I'll always do because this is this is a

0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:26.640
<v Speaker 2>daily thing that we do here, and I don't think

0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 2>that your hobby should make you miserable. If you do that,

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 2>you should find a new hobby. If you want constant

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 2>negativity that's based around uninformed takes, go listen to the

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:38.840
<v Speaker 2>recently disbanded podcasts and you can find out there and

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 2>that's where you can find those takes. So thin on

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 2>that tomorrow we have four picks. A busy podcast might

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 2>break it up into a couple of shows, so just

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:47.560
<v Speaker 2>be on the lookout for the Drive Time Podcast a

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:49.760

<v Speaker 2>gets out to more Dolphins fans, helps us get more exposure.

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:58.840
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna have McDaniel and Greer again at the conclusion

0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 2>of day three, so don't want to miss that'll be

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 2>The podcast is going to look just like this, might

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:05.600
<v Speaker 2>have two of them opposed to one with four players

0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:08.080
