<v Speaker 2>nine billion people in the world. You're gonna have the

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 2>same birthday with some people, but you share a birthday

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>with me. What's your favorite part about a late October birthday?

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 3>Halloween spooky season?

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Same here? Yeah, like a favorite Halloween movie or anything?

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:33.199
<v Speaker 3>Favorite Halloween movie?

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Go with Halloween, Michael choice, Yes, sir, is there a

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>certain one in the series that you like? There's like

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 2>a billion of reason, good good stuff, an old soul.

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:41.919
<v Speaker 4>Maybe.

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, good deal, Let's go and talk some football here,

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 2>because when I turn your tape on, hard pivot from

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Halloween to playing offensive line in the NFL. Right, but

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 2>just watching you, like it takes one rep to see

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>how you fit in this offense getting out of your

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>stands fast and really escorting fast people into the end zone. Right,

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>how do you think that your play style jives with

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>what coach down you wants to do down here in

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>South Florida.

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 5>I feel like it being is perfect because all we

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 5>bet like here about speed, Like you got speed on

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 5>on the outside, you got speed in the back field,

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:11.919
<v Speaker 5>and that's what we're running.

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Like, that's that's me on speed. I'm getting to the

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 3>second level fast.

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm running all over the field, sideline, the sideline, end

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 5>zone and the end zone. So I feel like I

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 5>feel perfect into this program.

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying. I can watching your tape like

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 2>seeing you running fifty yards down the field, like escorting

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.239
<v Speaker 2>either Derek Henry or Ti Tree spears into the end zone.

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>It's fun to watch. My favorite part of your game personally.

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>But for you, what's your favorite part about playing offensive

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>line in the NFL?

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 5>I say, justly, I love playing offense line, but I

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 5>love this football as a whole. I feel like I'll

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 5>play any position on the field like playing with the

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 5>same passion I play offense alone with. But I just

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 5>like just just being not just being aggressive, just competing and.

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 2>The comarade with the guys too. I'm sure it's a

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 2>big part of us.

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 5>Well, locker room fourth from just like my personal feeling

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 5>back fay out line like as a whole. Yes, like

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 5>the guys like offense, like I got a different kind

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 5>of mind like with each other. There's no other position

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 5>on the team that like you all out there at

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 5>one time, all together, like they're right next to each

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 5>other and the success y'all have all depends on each

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 5>other and how y'all work together in your relationship and communication.

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 3>So like that's a different kind of bar And I

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 3>really love.

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>That it's like five individuals as one, right, and it's

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 2>the kind of the one group in the NFL.

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 3>It's like that right as a whole.

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So this might be a question for my own

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.239
<v Speaker 2>curiosity because again, the speed, the athleticism getting out in

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>space is so much fun to watch. But then to

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 2>be able to like anchor against a three hundred and

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 2>forty pound nose tackle is a rare blend that you

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 2>just don't see that off in the NFL. What have

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>you learned in your career about playing against guys that

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 2>you're giving thirty forty, sometimes fifty pounds to in the middle.

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 5>So I don't know, like many people know. But when

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 5>I in college, I had played underweight as well. So

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 5>like when I first went to college, like two twenty

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 5>and so I had put on by like forty pounds

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 5>into something got out to about two seventy, and so

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 5>just really in my mindset, I had looked at it like,

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 5>so I'm in the weight room, I got a strong

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 5>lord bout it. I can squat five hundred, six hundred pounds.

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 5>Nobody in the NFL or anybody go against it's going

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 5>to be five hundred or six hundred pounds. So I

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 5>feel like if I could put that on my baking squad,

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 5>like I should be able to sit down anybody like

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 5>because like what you got technique, sometime when you get

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 5>the right levergs on people, the only thing you're doing

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 5>is using your legs, so it ain't really too much

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 5>to it.

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it helps you get under those guys' pasts a

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 2>little bit, right under underneathing play that way. I'm curious.

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I got to know, Now, what's the diet like to

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 2>gain forty pounds in one summer?

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 5>Bro, When I tell you that was depressing, Like, so

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 5>this is what they had me doing. I don't want

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 5>to black, but because I literally I wake them in

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 5>the morning. I eat two people in J's drink chocolate milk,

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 5>Go eat breakfast, eat another people in J drink protein shake,

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 5>my honey, finish that, go eat lunch, PBJ protein shake,

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 5>dinner PBJ protein shake. Before I go to sleep, two

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 5>more PPJ and some chocolate milk. And I was doing

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 5>this every day awesome, like chugging every day people, uh

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 5>PB and J's every day wake up, go to sleep,

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 5>the same thing. You had to do that every day,

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 5>and like until we did it from May to July

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.280
<v Speaker 5>August for this first game. And so in that love

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 5>amount of time, I put on forty pans.

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.599
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy. Can you even stomach playing burn Jill anymore?

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Is it like not something you want to eat anymore?

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.679
<v Speaker 3>At that time I had stopped eating for a minute.

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 3>But like now I love PV.

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 2>We have some incrustables that we we did some work

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 2>on itwave yeah, exactly, you know what's going on there.

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 2>So I read a quarter about years about the difference

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>between playing center and guard in the NFL, and you

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>allude to the idea of assisting on blocks more so

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 2>than that head up contact. I'm curious about how those

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>two things have helped the other, if that makes sense,

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Like playing center versus playing guard, how has those two

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:49.159
<v Speaker 2>things helped each other?

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.160
<v Speaker 5>I feel like playing both. I played tackle as well

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 5>in college, so I didn't played left tackle, left guard, center,

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 5>right guard, right tackle, And so just being in every position,

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 5>I understand like what it takes to play that position,

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 5>and so like what type of help you need or

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 5>would you need to be successful with doing your job,

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 5>and so I feel like it helped a lot being

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 5>able to play the different positions then to go in

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 5>the middle and kind of orchestrate what's going on.

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 3>So I feel like it's being very beneficial towards me.

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 2>When you play that center position. Do you take a

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of pride in like the line calls and making

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.720
<v Speaker 2>the checks and getting everything sorted out for the quarterback.

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because I'm I'm a team person, Like I like

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 5>looking at for people and so like I feel like

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 5>they just come natural with being in that center position.

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 5>Like man, they just to help your brothers. Besides, you

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 5>help your team and like just having the responsibility of

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 5>setting the type and get stuff going.

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 2>How excited a you block for a new quarterback here

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 2>in town?

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm absolutely excited to block for to it Like he

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.919
<v Speaker 5>a special talent, So I can't wait to get in

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 5>front of him, chop it up with him, and just

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 5>get on the field with him.

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 2>A couple of your ex teammates are going to be

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>new teammates for you again here. I'm sure you're well

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 2>aware of that. David Long and John Smith. Are you

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 2>more excited to block for Tua on a pass for

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.720
<v Speaker 2>John U. Smith or climb the second level and take

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 2>on David Long out there practice. I'd be a tough one.

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 5>I like doing both, but I say probably getting out

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 5>there on that screen, just in that opening space. I

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.559
<v Speaker 5>can still block David Long on that screen in space,

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 5>have him on his toes a little bit. So I

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 5>say probably getting at there on that screen. And Lenn

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 5>John knew catch the ball and doing what he do best.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I saw him taking a screen for sixty yard touchdown

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 2>last year.

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 3>He can move fast.

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Lottp be on this team and the guy that put

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>all together Coach McDaniel. Have I had a chance to

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 2>meet him yet, and what's your first impressions?

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 5>I haven't, okay, and my first place like faird work

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 5>on my heads genius. I say that I feel like

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 5>he's really smart, like he understand the game on a

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 5>different level, and I just love, like, hey you PUAs

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 5>from what I seen, I haven't met him personally, but

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 5>like from what I seen, I feel like he's a

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 5>great dude, great coach and jeez, you know his stuff.

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what you see is what you get. He's a

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>genuine article for sure. How about coach Barry. Have you

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>met your offensive line coach yet?

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we had met not too long ago. We chopped

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 5>it up and he was pretty like he was straightforward

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.679
<v Speaker 5>with us and just trying to grow that condition, letting

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 5>each other know, like what we want from each other

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 5>with the expectation.

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to do it for you here, but

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I have a coach bury impression that I feel pretty

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 2>good about. Maybe after we get off the air here,

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 2>we'll go ahead and do it for you here. Last question,

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 2>I saw you talk about this. I'm not sure where

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 2>I saw it, but better backflip you or Tyreek Hill.

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 3>I think I got to back. I think I do

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 3>got it.

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty impressive. I mean you got a yeah.

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've been flippings since I was a kid, though,

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 3>like it just never went away.

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:32.680
<v Speaker 2>How How did you learn that?

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 3>How I learned?

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 5>When I was younger, I was a daredevil, So I

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 5>just used to do a whole bunch of crazy shit.

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 5>But so me and my cousin, like he liked my brother,

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 5>but he started two years old and he started doing

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.839
<v Speaker 5>backfits whatever, and so I seen him and I tried it,

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 5>but I couldn't do I like be doing outside ways quick,

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 5>because it's like a lot of people can't do a

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 5>backflip just because he's scared to go back absolutely and

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 5>so like literally it was just one day I like

0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 5>I want to do it. The only way I was

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:00.600
<v Speaker 5>able to do it, I took got like in a

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 5>full sprint, did the carlin just like just threw myself

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 5>backwards and at the daylight after like being uncomfortable, like

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 5>going there fast and throwing yourself like landing on your knees,

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 5>landing on your face. Like over time usually get comfortable

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:13.079
<v Speaker 5>with it and it just become normal.

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like riding a bike. You can do anytime now. Yeah,

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 2>good stuff. Aaron Brewer, new Dolphins offensive linean appreciate your

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 2>time today, man, thank you. Let's go ahead and slide

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 2>one position, maybe two positions out to the tackle spot.

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 2>He plays all five spots on the offensive line really

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.319
<v Speaker 2>in my chat with new Dolphins offensive lineman Jack Driscoll

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 2>joined the podcast today. A new Dolphins offensive lineman Jack Driscoll. Jack,

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 2>welcome in, man, oh, thank you, it's great to be here.

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 2>So first time was a free agent. First time since

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 2>like the college recruiting, right, you get a chance to

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 2>go around look for a new team. How's that process been,

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 2>and why the Dolphins?

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's been you know, it's been you know,

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>hectic week, I would say, but you know when my

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>agent kind of had callings at the Dolphins Rangers, and

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I was really excited, you know, I just you know,

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>knowing the offense that they that they run here and

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, seeing how they use offensive linemen get the

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>user athleticism, I.

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 6>Was really excited. I'm really excited to be here.

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, it's funny you mentioned that, because in doing

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 2>some research on your background and everything, you can almost

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 2>like set a watch to it. With the Dolphins and

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 2>offensive lineman ten split times, they love guys that get

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 2>off the line. Right, You're one seven four, which is

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 2>the ninety third percentile for all tackles in combine history.

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>You don't know if you knew that I did not

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 2>very highly ranked in the ten split time. What does

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 2>that explosive first step do for you in an offense

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 2>like this.

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>It's so important, you know, just it sets you up

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>for success, you know, beause ultimately the guys across the

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>ball from us are great athletes as well, So being

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 1>like how I get that get off and just learning

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.079
<v Speaker 1>from guys like you know in Philly, from Kelsey and

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Lane and whatnot, and just you know, it's all they

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>talk about, like in past bro that you know, when

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>you are setting it's almost like one hundred meter races.

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>But Lane would tell us, and you know, kind of

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>seeing how that translate is huge. And just like you said,

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>whoever gets off the ball first a lot of times

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.079
<v Speaker 1>does it have a upperhand on the play.

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 2>So it sounds like you learned a lot from your

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 2>four years in Philly with all the veteran experience on

0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:58.679
<v Speaker 2>the offensive line.

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, we had some great players room and

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm thankful my time there. I think it will help

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>me be successful here.

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 2>So one thing you all said in Philly was take

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 2>snaps at both tackle spots and the right guard position

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and left guard.

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 6>Just right guard practice a little bit.

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 2>But okay, I figured everything I played practice. Okay, Well

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 2>there you go, So all five okay, So like questions

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 2>even easier. Then, what's the key to being a good

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>swing guy that can play all five spots?

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Just have the right mindset and you know understand that

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you know when you're the swing guy and you're backing

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.359
<v Speaker 1>up that it's your job to you know, be accountable

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>for everything. And you know I always took pride and

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>trying to make sure that when I went in that

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:31.959
<v Speaker 1>there was no drop off of that. You know, Oh

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the game, that's not the reason we lose,

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, So just playing at high level, and you know,

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>we had a high standard in our room. I know

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:38.720
<v Speaker 1>there's a high stand of this room too, so I

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>know it's going to be you know, I have to

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.079
<v Speaker 1>bring my best every day these there's a lot of

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 1>great players.

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 6>In this whole line.

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, just like said, having a good attitude about it,

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and just you know, studying a craft, like watching different guys,

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, just really being prepared and just you know,

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 1>doing the extra work after practice. You know, you like

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 1>you said, you might only get reps at right guard

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>at practice, but you might be playing left back in

0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:58.199
<v Speaker 1>the game.

0:11:58.320 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 6>So like, you know, you better get those reps on.

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 2>So two follow ups to that, because number one, who's

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 2>some guys that you have watched you're a big fan

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:05.200
<v Speaker 2>of in terms of studying their game?

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:06.439
<v Speaker 6>Guard?

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I always I always like to watch Zach Martin. You know,

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 1>he was great, you know kind of at guard. You know,

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 1>we've had so many good guys in Philly too, like

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Isaac sal Malewis from my watch lot Lane obviously playing

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:18.680
<v Speaker 1>behind him, and then you know Kelsey.

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 6>You know, Kelsey is one of the best alignment of

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 6>all time.

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, a lot of good options there. Something else

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I've heard coach McDaniel talk about before is something you

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 2>touched on. It was coming into a game cold and

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 2>he kind of compared offensive line played like quarterback in

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:32.559
<v Speaker 2>terms of how tough it can be to like, you're

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.680
<v Speaker 2>up right now, go block Aaron Donald right on this snap.

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious how challenging is there? What maybe what have

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>you learned from when you know, pregame a once is

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 2>three hours ago, you haven't taken a rep since then,

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 2>and it's the middle of the fourth quarter. We have

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.640
<v Speaker 2>to get a game winning drive. Jack, You're in for

0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the first rep. Like, how challenging is that? And what

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 2>does it teacher? Who's a player?

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, it just teaches you a to be fountable,

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, be you know, it's like life, you ready

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>at any time, you know, you never know what you know,

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.080
<v Speaker 1>let's got to throw at you in you know, at

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, like I said, is just

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>having that team first emphasis on you know, when I

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>go in, whether it's like you said, last drive of

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the game or the first player or whatever, it is,

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:08.319
<v Speaker 1>like you know, it's all on you to get the

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 1>job done. And you know, like I said, you have

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>teammates counting on your coaches counting on you, and just

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like the whole thing about drawing your

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>strength from the guys around you and just you know,

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>being tight with that core of the guys. Just understand,

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 1>like I said, we're all us. Five are out here

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>to get the job done. And no matter who which

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 1>five it is, you know, we all have the same goals.

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, five guys, one position, one player. Really right,

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:27.839
<v Speaker 2>it's all one continuity.

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 6>I will drive. Yeah. I like that.

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 2>That's good. We'll have to bring that up to coach

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 2>here later on. I always love asking guys about reunions.

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 2>And you don't really have anybody who played in the

0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 2>pros with here, But I do know you played against

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 2>two of our best players back in college, Tua and Wattle.

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 2>What do you remember about those guys at Alabama?

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I remember Wattles was one we played in the iron

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Ball against Wattle. It was one of the most impressive

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>against you own. It was one of the most impressive

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>performance ever seen. Believe he had five touchdowns, I like

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.599
<v Speaker 1>return returning free touchdowns or like bully crap. You know,

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>we're doing everything we can and this guy is just

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 1>absolutely torturing enough. We did win the game though, I

0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:58.959
<v Speaker 1>Will said we did win that game, but yeah, you know,

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>he was unbelievable. And you know Two is the same thing.

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.959
<v Speaker 1>You know, Two is such a great player. When he

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>played him, I think it was eighteen, they blew us

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>out and he you know, he was bolling. So I'm

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>excited to you know, now you know, play against those

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 1>guys and now you know, to get to be teammates

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:12.719
<v Speaker 1>with them, is me be really cool.

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 6>And I know how special players they are.

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.719
<v Speaker 2>There's a screenshot from that Wattle kick return where one

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 2>of your guys is he's not going to catch him,

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 2>but he tries his hardest and lays out and he's

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 2>like Wattles in a full sprint. He's like Superman behind him.

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>It's one of my favorite pictures in football history. Yeah,

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 2>if you're behind him, you just it's showing the telllights

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 2>and way of goodbye. Two more here for you here.

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 2>So your birthday is a holiday, and it's gotta be

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the toughest day besides maybe Christmas or things getting like

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 2>for a kid that you know wants to have a

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>different birthday than Christmas, the presence I'll go together. But

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 2>a birthday on April fools, man, that could either play

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 2>into your hands as like the ultimate tool or I

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 2>feel like a could backfire. Is the most exhausting experience.

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 2>What has been your experience on April first birthday?

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 6>And off and down?

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 4>Man?

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 6>I mean I've had, like you know, I'm and my

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 6>mom one day she pated me bunch.

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Of oreos for school and I never yet you know

0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>oreos that's if one buying you know, his tooth based

0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>on no no, you know, so just stuff like that.

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 6>But I like, say, I have a birthday.

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like you say, it's tough becase those guys just

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Hilbret Christmas, their birthday is getting forgot, if you know,

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>it's just all mashed.

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 6>So it's a good birthday.

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>It kind of start a spring, you know what I mean,

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.800
<v Speaker 1>good weather, March madness, you know. So yeah, it's it's

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>always an interesting birthday.

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 2>I say that, So I mentioned doing background you went

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>to your Instagram, saw that you got engaged in Floridaida

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 2>and that was an inlet beach, right.

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, don like Rosemary, but thirty A.

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>A little different on the Panhills in South Florida, right, yeah,

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 2>slightly different.

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 2>What do you think is the difference between those two

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 2>parts of the of our state here, which is basically

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 2>its own country.

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 6>There's a lot, Yeah, you know, there's a lot.

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 1>And I grew up coming to Florida, so I know,

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I grew up coming to Miami a bunch, but you know,

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>just a heat all year round, just kind of paying.

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's a little bit you know, more quaint,

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I would say, I'm on the Panhandle, whereas you know,

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 1>South Florida is kind of the hustle and bustle, you know,

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>more busy, more you know, of a young scene and whatnot.

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>But I think both are great. I love the state

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 1>of Florida, you know, Proud to be out here.

0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Go home, Jack Triscoll, do Dolphins tackle Dolphins off of Lineman?

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Really really good stuff. They got to get Jack a

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit closer to the microphone next time he comes

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 2>in here, but otherwise, really really good chats with those

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 2>two guys, let's go ahead and take our first break,

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 2>come back on the other side and do some analysis here.

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>That's what we do best in Drive Time. That's next

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Drive Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 2>by Auto Nation. Dast tape has been grounded, grinded ground

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the phrasing there, but Aaron Brewers tape man,

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and start with him first before Jack Driscold.

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I gotta say, like, going from watching years of interior

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>offensive line play that hasn't been that great. And you know,

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I thought Connor Williams was very good the last two years.

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Robert Hunt has had a great career for the Miami Dolphins,

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 2>which got him paid twenty million bucks per year. Right,

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 2>But on balance, we've seen you know, Leam Mikenberg try inside.

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 2>We've seen Austin Jackson get kicked inside a few years ago.

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>A handful of guys that played that position over the years,

0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 2>and I kind of got used to like guys in

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.879
<v Speaker 2>the ground, guys with their heads on a swivel in

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 2>a bad way in terms of like what the hell

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 2>is going on out here? That famous football clip of

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 2>the young man, the blind young Man playing football? What

0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 2>the hell is going on? And just technique wise not good,

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:21.120
<v Speaker 2>like never the same arm hand, sorry say, the same

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 2>hand leg punch combination where you time up your punch

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 2>with your drop step or with your you know, getting

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.879
<v Speaker 2>your cleats in the ground to anchor and pad level

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 2>and just all these things that cause blocks that just

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 2>look bad, that look like how am I going to

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 2>execute this block? Because I just don't have the fundamentals

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 2>or the technique to handle it. Well, there's a reason

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 2>that Aaron Brewer made the NFL at two hundred and

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 2>eighty pounds. It's because his technique is nearly flawless, and

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 2>he's gained you know, fifteen twenty pounds since then, getting

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 2>close to three hundred pounds now. But that's how he

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:57.840
<v Speaker 2>wins with speed, explosiveness and elite like elite technique and fundamentals.

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 2>He handles bigger bodies with pad level and leg drive

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and it's ridiculous how much push he can get considering

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 2>his weight disadvantage, when he's able to pop you under

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.879
<v Speaker 2>your chest plate. And then he talked about on the

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.600
<v Speaker 2>podcast just a few minutes ago about his leg drive

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and squats and you see that power he plays with

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of has a dumpy body, right, squatty body. That's

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:19.919
<v Speaker 2>what those guys are supposed to look like. That's what

0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.639
<v Speaker 2>he looks like. He drives guys off the football with

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.639
<v Speaker 2>that leg drive, and you pair that with flat out,

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:31.480
<v Speaker 2>no question, without even a moment of debate, by far,

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:35.199
<v Speaker 2>the most athletic center in the National Football League. He's

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 2>pretty damn good man. He's so clean in the way

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 2>he attaches and detaches, which is so critical for your

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.919
<v Speaker 2>man gap schemes, which the Titans ran plenty of, and

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 2>it allows you to stay flexible in those types of

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 2>blocks in an offense that wants to run wide zone

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.439
<v Speaker 2>and have a CounterPunch to this man in power. But

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>also there are some counterlooks to those zone plays, like

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.640
<v Speaker 2>there's a play against the Colts tape last year where

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.240
<v Speaker 2>he takes a dummy step but counterstep to the left

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.800
<v Speaker 2>and there's a linebacker stacked right over the top of him,

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.880
<v Speaker 2>and he countersteps left, which gets linebacker to take one

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.159
<v Speaker 2>step that way, and then he fires back across his

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.399
<v Speaker 2>body with a change of direction and a crossover step

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that puts him like two yards wider than the linebacker,

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 2>and at that point all he has to do is

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.159
<v Speaker 2>turn his button the gap and steal him off. And

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.120
<v Speaker 2>he does that and then drives him off the football

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 2>and buries him in the turf there in Nashville. Like

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 2>it's so impressive, and you know he can like he

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 2>can help on a two technique in some of these

0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:31.760
<v Speaker 2>looks because a lot of times, like not a lot

0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 2>of defenses, he's AA's play a strap zero technique, a

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 2>beare front, you know, a front that has a nose

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.400
<v Speaker 2>tackle right over the center, and so oftentimes these guys

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 2>are kind of firing off the ball and helping on

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.439
<v Speaker 2>blocks with the guards, and he can help on that

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.400
<v Speaker 2>two technique, which lines up head up over your left

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 2>or right guard and then continues that leg drive up

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 2>to the second level, and then he can get off

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.120
<v Speaker 2>of that block and then wall off a five technique,

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 2>which is a guy that plays on the outside shoulder

0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 2>of your offensive tackle, and he can wall that guy

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.680
<v Speaker 2>off before he crashes inside on a slanting rush. Doesn't

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 2>get stuck on those blocks as a double man almost ever,

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 2>which I've seen the Dolphins do oh many times over

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the last decade plus. The way he strikes when he's

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.560
<v Speaker 2>out flanked by pass rushers like anything outside of a

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 2>zero or one technique is with quickness and punching first.

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 2>But here's where he's gotten beaten the past, based on

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.720
<v Speaker 2>the tape that I watched, if the two technique head

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 2>up over the guard the two I which is inside

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.879
<v Speaker 2>shoulder of the guard, or your three technique, which is

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 2>inside shoulder of the tackle or outside shoulder of the guard,

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I should say, if they can absorb or withstand his

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 2>initial pop, which is pretty aggressive and pretty strong, they

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.000
<v Speaker 2>can then use his momentum because he knows he has

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 2>to get out there fast and win with that quickness,

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:50.440
<v Speaker 2>they can kind of use that momentum against him and

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 2>hip toss him, and he can either get grabby in

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 2>that sense and pull a guy down on the turf

0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 2>or just flat out get thrown out of the play

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 2>and lose the pass rush rep as it is, but

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.680
<v Speaker 2>man doesn't happen frequently because the punch is hardwired to

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.520
<v Speaker 2>the feet. He consistently gets his feet under his shoulder

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.040
<v Speaker 2>pads in order to be on balance when he does strike,

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 2>and when he's not in position, you see the quickness

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 2>to shuffle over and get in position. He is very

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 2>aware of how it's supposed to look from a technique standpoint,

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.200
<v Speaker 2>and he frequently is in a great position to make

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.960
<v Speaker 2>those things happen. I just I can't reiterate enough how

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 2>low he plays defensive tackles. There's a technique it's called

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.919
<v Speaker 2>making a pile where they'll recognize a double team and

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 2>they will turn their back and drop their knee and

0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 2>just try to pull the cloth of the jersey of

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 2>both offensive linemen and cause a two on one pile.

0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Looks if I take out two offensive linemen, you're at

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:41.119
<v Speaker 2>a disadvantage in the numbers game here blocking wise. And

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 2>he can thwart this because he plays so damn low

0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.159
<v Speaker 2>and can get this controlled ribshot on those guys and

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>knock them back while he stays on his feet. There's

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 2>just there's no wasted movement in his game, fluid mover.

0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I saw him reach block of four eye technique, which

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 2>is inside shoulder of the tackle, turn the butt inside

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:00.880
<v Speaker 2>and wall that thing off for now see gap rip.

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:04.280
<v Speaker 2>For Dereck Henry, everything he does is fully intentional. I've

0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 2>seen enough bad offensive line play to see what looking

0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.119
<v Speaker 2>confused looks like. He's never that. He always is aware

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.480
<v Speaker 2>of what's coming. He's consistently hitting the right targets, getting

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.399
<v Speaker 2>his feet under him, retaining his punch until it's necessary,

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 2>quiet hands, kind of like a wide receiver, and he's

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:21.919
<v Speaker 2>never on the ground like he can anchor. There's a

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:25.440
<v Speaker 2>bull rush from to Forrest Buckner as the three technique

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:27.879
<v Speaker 2>slanting inside, and he played tackle in college. You heard

0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:30.680
<v Speaker 2>him talk about it there. It's so clear that he did,

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.400
<v Speaker 2>because on this rep he's got it's like a third

0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 2>and long. So their NASCAR package wide rushers, nobody inside

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the three technique position. Buckner is the closest guy to

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:41.879
<v Speaker 2>him inside, and he slants across the face of the

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:44.200
<v Speaker 2>guard for a bull rush on Brewer because that's two

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 2>hundred and ninety five pounds or rather three twenty pounds

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:49.639
<v Speaker 2>against two hundred ninety five pounds, and he wants to

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 2>bowl rushman, put brew on his back, and then clear

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 2>up that a gap on either side. He just throws

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 2>this beautiful kickslide where he drops steps and handles him

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.840
<v Speaker 2>with one headed punch and the cleats hit the turf

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:03.639
<v Speaker 2>at the same time that his hands hit the pats.

0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:06.880
<v Speaker 2>That is synchronicity you want from your offensive lineman. He's

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:09.639
<v Speaker 2>a fantastic player. Man. I think that there's some concerns

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 2>about the size and what it can do against bigger

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:15.120
<v Speaker 2>players on the interior, but he can so frequently out

0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 2>technique those guys that he can win. And then when

0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:20.000
<v Speaker 2>you get that going on top of the athletic ability,

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 2>no one moves like him in the entire National Football League.

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna have a ton of fun with this guy.

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.120
<v Speaker 2>He is, I think, a better fit here than even

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Connor Williams was, And I thought Connor Wims is the

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 2>top five center in the NFL the last two years.

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying Aaron Well brute will be that he

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.119
<v Speaker 2>can be that, but I think that he's a better

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:39.680
<v Speaker 2>fit stylistically for the counter game, the jet sweep, the

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.719
<v Speaker 2>reverse game, all the different action encounters and stuff than

0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 2>McDaniel has in his back pocket. Brewer is the quintessential

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 2>fit for the Dolphins offense in that regard. How about

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Jack driscoll, a guard slash tackle slash played some center

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 2>and practice formerly the Philadelphia Eagles, coming to Miami for

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.720
<v Speaker 2>his fifth year as a pro. And there's right guard tape,

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 2>there's right tackle tape, tackle tape, and as you heard

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Jack say, himself. He has played left guard and center

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 2>in practices as well, So very position diverse, very flexible

0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:12.200
<v Speaker 2>in terms of what he can offer you, and honestly

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of ways. I know this is probably

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna not sound great to a law of Dolphins fans.

0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Kind of reminds me of Jesse Davis in that way.

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Not like twenty twenty Jesse Davis. Maybe more like twenty

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:26.639
<v Speaker 2>seventeen Jesse Davis when he was playing some good games

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 2>off the bench there here and there. But my notes

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:31.919
<v Speaker 2>on Jack are he comes off the football quickly. I

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 2>mean that's a non negotiable in this offense. I think

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 2>his past sets in a phone booth at the right

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 2>guard position are very nice. You see those quick feet translate.

0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I think a little bit better inside in terms of

0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:47.199
<v Speaker 2>how he can wall off some of those pass rushes

0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:50.040
<v Speaker 2>from a three technique or a two technique. He's super,

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 2>super effective as a poler. All the stuff that goes

0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:56.480
<v Speaker 2>with athletic ability, right like his quickness in a road environment,

0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>which is something I don't think you consider on tape

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 2>most of the times unless you are a Dolphins media

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:04.719
<v Speaker 2>member or analyst or whatever you call it. Because we

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:06.919
<v Speaker 2>saw how many times the Dolphins had issues getting their

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 2>calls in and getting everybody on sync for the snap

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:12.919
<v Speaker 2>and having no pre snap alignment issues was an issue

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 2>right of itself, and his ability to you know how

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:18.399
<v Speaker 2>the right guard often is the one that triggers the

0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 2>snap on road environments, kind of taps the center and

0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 2>then the center looks down, looks back up, snap comes up.

0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 2>His ability to do that and then get back into

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 2>a position to get off the football first is it

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.640
<v Speaker 2>jumps off the tape. You see it very quickly and

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 2>whether it's straight ahead forty five degree angle turn and pull,

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 2>he is just quick out of his stance. Now, this

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.879
<v Speaker 2>is where I think that butcher Berry earns his salt,

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 2>so to speak, like he did last year with a

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:45.199
<v Speaker 2>couple Dolphins offensive lineman because there's a lot of what

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I would consider a twenty twenty one Austin Jackson tape here,

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:51.919
<v Speaker 2>where there's impressive flashes of dominance that show you the

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:54.000
<v Speaker 2>skill set that made this guy a high draft pick.

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:56.720
<v Speaker 2>But then there's also a bunch of weird reps where

0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:59.000
<v Speaker 2>it looks totally out of sorts, like it kind of

0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 2>reminds me of me on the golf course or sometimes

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 2>so at least the last my play to birdie one

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:04.640
<v Speaker 2>hole triple the next I don't get that many triples,

0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 2>but it is in my bag. But I also can't

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:09.240
<v Speaker 2>get past just some of the fundamental shortcomings, and I

0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:13.119
<v Speaker 2>think bleed into bad technique that reduces any semblance of power,

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 2>feet stopping on contact, taking false steps. Is always isn't

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 2>always on balance because he kind of leans into blocks

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 2>instead of driving through them, and that's the feet going

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 2>down on contact thing. He does sometimes at the right

0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:27.280
<v Speaker 2>tackle position set to wide and that opens the strike

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 2>zone for the edge rusher to come through, or at

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:32.719
<v Speaker 2>the right guard position for a three technique to kind

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:34.840
<v Speaker 2>of see him open up that wide base, get the

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:37.600
<v Speaker 2>hands spread apart and expose the chest plate, which then

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:40.359
<v Speaker 2>allows the defender to control the rep at that point.

0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:42.679
<v Speaker 2>The change of direction anytime he has to kind of shuffle,

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 2>replace slide get back from an overseet not really in

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:47.919
<v Speaker 2>his bag but a tackle. I like the quickness for

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 2>his ability to get a deep kickslide that helps him

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:53.480
<v Speaker 2>cut off the arc. And there's some of the same

0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:55.680
<v Speaker 2>stuff from the guard position in the running game too,

0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:59.800
<v Speaker 2>where he can counter tray wham trap just get to

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 2>and landmarks a little bit quicker than most guys at

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:06.159
<v Speaker 2>that position, at that size can do. So there's a

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 2>lot there I think. I think ideally, I believe this

0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 2>is like your sixth guy in a lot of positions,

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>is my hope. We will see what it looks like

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 2>come the spring, and I'm excited to see what the

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 2>coaching staff can do with him and how they can

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:19.679
<v Speaker 2>maximize his skill set because there is a lot of

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 2>talent in there. I think technique could be cleaned up,

0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:24.240
<v Speaker 2>and that's what coaches are paid to do. So a

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of stuff in there. Let's go ahead and take

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:28.320
<v Speaker 2>our last break right there. Come back on the other side,

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:30.720
<v Speaker 2>and here from Tarn Davenport. We do not have a

0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.720
<v Speaker 2>guest for Jack Driscold. Today, we'll hear from Tarn Davenport

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:36.640
<v Speaker 2>from he covers the Titans. We'll talk to him about

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Brewer. That's next Draft Time podcast. Your host, Travis Wingfield,

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 2>brought to you by Auto Nation. Joining us now is

0:27:44.560 --> 0:27:48.880
<v Speaker 2>ESPN's NFL Nation reporter covering the Tennessee Titans. Tarn Davenport

0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:51.600
<v Speaker 2>and Tron welcome back into the Drive Time podcast.

0:27:51.640 --> 0:27:54.639
<v Speaker 4>Man, Yeah, I appreciate you having you man, It's always

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:55.120
<v Speaker 4>good to talk.

0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, always happy to get you on here talking about

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.400
<v Speaker 2>some x Titans. That seems like we have on here

0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 2>for every time you come on the podcast here. But

0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:04.199
<v Speaker 2>before we get into that, I want to ask you

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 2>a couple of questions about the person. But first just

0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 2>his general usage and talking of course about Aaron Brewer,

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 2>the former Titans offensive lineman now here with your Miami Dolphins,

0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:17.720
<v Speaker 2>because when you watch his tape, like the athleticism, the speed,

0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:19.680
<v Speaker 2>the ability to get to the second level, all those

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 2>things really jump out of you, especially through a Dolphin's lens,

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 2>where our run game emphasizes those things. But in Tennessee,

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:29.919
<v Speaker 2>it was like power, bigger players around him, you know,

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:33.400
<v Speaker 2>between the tackles, downhill balling style offense. I'm curious what

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 2>you made of his play style compared to what the

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Titans kind of identity was on offense.

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:41.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, well, I think you know, they did a lot

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 7>of wide zone that was one of Derrick Henry's strong points,

0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 7>and they did a lot of zone blocking in addition

0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 7>to power.

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:50.520
<v Speaker 4>It was like a mixture of the two.

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 7>But when they go zone, I think when you look

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 7>at Aaron Brewer, you kind of think of those centers

0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:58.719
<v Speaker 7>like Jason Kelsey. I'm not comparing the greatness, but just

0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 7>the ability to get out in the open and move

0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:04.880
<v Speaker 7>under control with speed and able to throttle down and

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:06.800
<v Speaker 7>destroy second level defenders.

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:08.760
<v Speaker 4>And that's what you see him able to do.

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:11.000
<v Speaker 7>And that's one of the things that stood out to

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 7>me about him, and I thought they did a good

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 7>job there. But as you mentioned, when they went to

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 7>like power schemes those types of things, it doesn't really

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:21.120
<v Speaker 7>match because he's not the biggest guy.

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 4>He's strong, but he's not the biggest guy.

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:25.800
<v Speaker 7>And actually, and when you're giving up, you know, twenty

0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 7>to thirty pounds to certain defenders, it's harder to move them.

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it does seem like a lot of teams have

0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 2>shifted more towards a balance of those two run styles,

0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 2>because like the Niners do it now under Shanahan, the

0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Rams with McVeigh. I mean, these teams that have kind of,

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, written the book on wide zone outside zone

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 2>running schemes have more power in their playbook. And the

0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins actually put together a game winning drive last year

0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:52.400
<v Speaker 2>with a pretty much power running game against the Cowboys

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 2>on Christmas Eve, And I'm curious to Ron because like

0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:57.080
<v Speaker 2>you talk about, you know, the mix of those two

0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 2>things there. Did you guys ever talk to me about

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 2>that in the media in terms of the challenges that

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:04.520
<v Speaker 2>he faces because of his playing weight, his play style,

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 2>in terms of going up against those bigger guys, because

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:09.120
<v Speaker 2>you're going to see bigger nose tackles, and I mean

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I thought, by and large, he really held his own

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 2>against a lot of teams across the league.

0:30:14.240 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 7>Now that's something I personally had asked him about a

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 7>lot of times because I know there were rumors that

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:23.200
<v Speaker 7>he was like two sixty five. I asked about his

0:30:23.280 --> 0:30:26.280
<v Speaker 7>weight and he said he was up to the two nineties.

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 4>We talked about his diet.

0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 7>And things like that, you know, what he would do

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 7>to get that weight to where it needed to be

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 7>and maintain it. And he going against bigger guys when

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:39.080
<v Speaker 7>that was something that we discussed. And he just always

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.800
<v Speaker 7>talked about the use of leverage, and I think when

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 7>you are able to mix leverage into your game, it

0:30:47.600 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 7>helps you at times to outdo those size disadvantages. And

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:57.240
<v Speaker 7>Mike Vrabel he in fact Joe and caught him tougher

0:30:57.240 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 7>than a two dollars stake and I think when you

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 7>look at that analogy, it applies because the way he's

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:06.200
<v Speaker 7>able to hold his own at times against guys who

0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 7>are much bigger. But I think it really comes down

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 7>to leverage and technique. How he's able to use that

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 7>and that helps him hold his own against the bigger defenders.

0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 4>And you got to look even further. He has a

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 4>lot of heart.

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 7>You know, this is a guy who was an underdog,

0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 7>came from a very small school, and he managed to

0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:26.400
<v Speaker 7>you know, go from an undrafted free agent outside chance

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 7>to make the roster to eventually become a d starting

0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:32.240
<v Speaker 7>center at least for a season for the Titans. So

0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 7>I'll just let you know that the fight is in him,

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 7>and I think, you know, he's somebody that will really

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 7>match with what the Dolphins do as far as like

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 7>everything is movement and fast and speed and agility.

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean the fit there is obvious, But what

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 2>you just said was kind of revealing because that's what

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Mike McDaniel, that's his entire journey was. You know, everyone

0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:55.360
<v Speaker 2>told me couldn't do it. And he likes to collect

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 2>players in his locker room to have that similar mindset

0:31:57.600 --> 0:31:59.320
<v Speaker 2>because it kind of creates a camaraderie and a bomb

0:31:59.360 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 2>between those guys, and it sounds like Aaron Brewer is

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna fit right in with that. And also to your

0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 2>point about you know those bigger bodies like man, when

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I watch him play, he's like the first guy off

0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the snap as the center, which is so difficult to

0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:12.959
<v Speaker 2>do to snap the ball then get in space, and

0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:15.240
<v Speaker 2>he's so quick off the snap that I think it

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 2>gives him a lot of, like you talk about advantages

0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 2>in that leverage.

0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:21.280
<v Speaker 7>Right, yeah, I mean he who gets his hands on

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:23.480
<v Speaker 7>the other man first typically wins.

0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, exactly right. So really good stuff there, and

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk a little bit more about just

0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:29.400
<v Speaker 2>being around the guy the person here for a couple

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:31.320
<v Speaker 2>of minutes. I believe the last time we had you,

0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I was talking about David Long and that worked out

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 2>pretty damn well for us. So hoping to go two

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:37.760
<v Speaker 2>for two with this next one here, and I'm fired

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:39.840
<v Speaker 2>up about Aaron Brewer. Man. I think I'll start with

0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:42.760
<v Speaker 2>this spot talking about kind of the maturation and the

0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 2>mental side of it. He's played all the interior spots

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and I always find that fascinating for offensive linemanhouse seamlessly

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 2>they can switch positions like that because it's a different

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 2>job really in different roles and it's a different, you know,

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:57.280
<v Speaker 2>game that you're playing. I'm curious how you would describe

0:32:57.320 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 2>his eagerness or his willingness to play go to play center,

0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 2>and just the volatility of switching spots like that, because

0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 2>that was his career the first few years. How did

0:33:06.920 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 2>he approach being kind of a jack of all trades

0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:10.440
<v Speaker 2>on the inside.

0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:13.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, for him, it was really just about attacking and

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 7>getting in where he could fit it, and that was

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 7>his thing where he knew that he was, you know,

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 7>a guy who was on the fringe of the rosters,

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 7>so he was just trying to find a way to

0:33:23.800 --> 0:33:26.239
<v Speaker 7>fit in any way possible. I think when you look

0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 7>at just the ability to play center and guard, it's

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:33.520
<v Speaker 7>a big difference because I mean, still, you're in the

0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:36.240
<v Speaker 7>phone booth and everything's coming at you fast and all

0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 7>that stuff.

0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 4>That's one hundred percent true. But the other thing.

0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 7>That you have to look at is just the fact

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 7>that you got to snap the ball and get your

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 7>head up in time to get that guy who's in

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:48.800
<v Speaker 7>front of you, and that's no easy task. And then

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 7>on top of that, you got to make sure that

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:52.640
<v Speaker 7>the ball is getting where it needs to be to

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 7>the quarterback. So a lot of that is you know, difficult,

0:33:57.280 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 7>but he's able to manage to do that, and I think,

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:02.480
<v Speaker 7>you know, that's a credit to him. And then you

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 7>just look at the person that he is. You know, again,

0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 7>like I said, the underdog part of it. You know,

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 7>the guy he was, he was not even on the radar.

0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:10.920
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:34:11.000 --> 0:34:14.680
<v Speaker 7>In fact, John Stretcher, who was Mike Frabele's personal assistant,

0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:17.799
<v Speaker 7>he was the one that that kind of found him

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:20.640
<v Speaker 7>so to speak, and put him onto the Scouts and

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:23.920
<v Speaker 7>you know, he just worked his way into into the system.

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 7>And I think, you know, when you look at at Brew,

0:34:27.800 --> 0:34:30.120
<v Speaker 7>he was one of my favorite guys to talk to

0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:32.360
<v Speaker 7>in the locker room, whereas like you know, he's somebody

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:34.560
<v Speaker 7>that I would go to until not about football at

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 7>the time, just you know, about other stuff. And it's

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:40.480
<v Speaker 7>always cool to have that type of relationship with with

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 7>a player. And that's something that I'm sure you guys

0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 7>are going to experience because he's he's a really cool dude.

0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 4>He's into fashion, he's into music.

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:51.799
<v Speaker 7>You know, his I G page is always interesting, just

0:34:51.920 --> 0:34:54.439
<v Speaker 7>and his his pregame outfits and stuff like that.

0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:57.400
<v Speaker 4>It was cool to document those things.

0:34:57.680 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly why I wanted to have Toron devinport On

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 2>from ESPN covering the Titans for ESPN, I should say,

0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:05.719
<v Speaker 2>really good stuff. There. One last question for you here

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:07.080
<v Speaker 2>at to Aron before I get you out of here.

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 2>What about the leadership and the role of being that

0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:13.480
<v Speaker 2>conduit between play caller and quarterback as the center, because

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:15.719
<v Speaker 2>it's just such a unique position in this league where

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:17.880
<v Speaker 2>you're kind of, you know, biking line checks for the

0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:20.440
<v Speaker 2>most part. How did you, I guess, grade him as

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:23.799
<v Speaker 2>it were in terms of his ability to communicate protections

0:35:23.800 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 2>and just be that trusted voice in the middle of

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.799
<v Speaker 2>the offensive line for a quarterback room that you know,

0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:31.279
<v Speaker 2>saw three different guys play this year. What did you

0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:33.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of make of his ability to be a stabilizing

0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:35.239
<v Speaker 2>force in the middle of the Titans offensive line from

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:37.560
<v Speaker 2>a communication and just leadership standpoint.

0:35:38.239 --> 0:35:40.080
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's one of the things I like the most

0:35:40.080 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 7>about camp is you get to be there for the

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:46.880
<v Speaker 7>full practice and there's not a bunch of noise and

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:49.239
<v Speaker 7>stuff like that. You could hear them communicate and and

0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:52.600
<v Speaker 7>and talk, and that's something that he did a really

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:55.920
<v Speaker 7>good job with I remember around this time last year,

0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:59.359
<v Speaker 7>I guess more like next month in April, and may

0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:02.880
<v Speaker 7>like leading up to many camp I remember when it

0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:05.759
<v Speaker 7>was clear that he was the starting center, asking him

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:09.000
<v Speaker 7>about that leadership and being the quarterback of the offense

0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:12.360
<v Speaker 7>as far as the offensive line is concerned, and he

0:36:12.440 --> 0:36:15.080
<v Speaker 7>said that that's something that he took personally, and then

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:18.960
<v Speaker 7>he was in the quarterbacks room with them at times,

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 7>you know, in addition to the offensive line, you know,

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:24.239
<v Speaker 7>just trying to make sure that that communication was as

0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:27.480
<v Speaker 7>clear and concise as possible. So I think that's an

0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:30.640
<v Speaker 7>example of how how seriously he takes it and how

0:36:30.719 --> 0:36:32.239
<v Speaker 7>much he wants to make sure that it's all.

0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:37.160
