Speaker 1: To on the move, Dallan Deep speedless, peace, do hell.
Speaker 2: From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 3: This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's good, my avands
Speaker 3: in the playoffs?
Speaker 4: What is up?
Speaker 2: Dolphins? And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. I am
Speaker 2: your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, we have
Speaker 2: reached double digits. Day number ten from Dolphins Camp, our
Speaker 2: last day before joint practices as the Falcons roll into
Speaker 2: town tomorrow, we'll rip through the practice notes here from
Speaker 2: John new Smith, Austin Jackson, and the Orange Jersey player
Speaker 2: of the day, Quentin Bell. You do not want to
Speaker 2: miss his story. Plus coach Mike McDaniel give us some
Speaker 2: updates and talking points from the Baptist Health Studios inside
Speaker 2: the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1: This is.
Speaker 2: The Time Podcast.
Speaker 3: Hey JAF, Let's.
Speaker 2: Kick it off today with a little bit of news.
Speaker 2: First off, we go in the way Back Machine. Tim
Speaker 2: Bowens has been inducted into the Dolphins Ring of Honor.
Speaker 2: I know you've seen all the content by now, but
Speaker 2: Timbo man number twenty eight all time member in our
Speaker 2: Ring of honor here. So when you come out to
Speaker 2: hard Rock Stadium this year, and you fix your eyes
Speaker 2: on another long ball touchdown from two of a week.
Speaker 3: He's got hell. He's got hell.
Speaker 2: In the periphery, your unfocused portion of your vision will
Speaker 2: see up on the upper deck facade, Tim Bowens. That'll
Speaker 2: happen on October twenty seventh against the Cardinals. What a
Speaker 2: party that will be. And I remember playing Madden back
Speaker 2: in those days. Yeah, back in those days they had
Speaker 2: Madden and user controlling Zach Thomas and just running everything off.
Speaker 2: Tim Bowens to make twenty five tackles a game. Great players,
Speaker 2: those two. So it was cool to see Zach Thomas
Speaker 2: introduce him to the media and announce his selection into
Speaker 2: the Ring of Honor, and then to see Timbo get
Speaker 2: emotional about the entire thing. Man, how can you not
Speaker 2: be romantic about football? Other news, and fast forward about
Speaker 2: twenty years here. That coach gave us injury updates today
Speaker 2: on Anthony Walker Junior and Jordan Brooks. So they're both
Speaker 2: dealing with something, but there's no timeline as we are
Speaker 2: want to know. But he's not too concerned about those
Speaker 2: guys's long term availability. They'll see them against soon here
Speaker 2: and similar with Jordan Poyer, although not the same language
Speaker 2: used there. He hasn't worked in a few days. Coach
Speaker 2: should say we'll see him again, so we'll see how
Speaker 2: long that keeps him out. Kind of get the census
Speaker 2: a little bit longer than Brooks and Walker. But I digress.
Speaker 2: We also didn't see Waddle nor Ramsey today, and there
Speaker 2: were actually quite a few reps for the twos and
Speaker 2: threes across the board, and it kind of makes sense.
Speaker 2: We saw plenty of scholar Thompson and more Mike White
Speaker 2: than we have in recent practices. As I assume you
Speaker 2: figure to see a pretty healthy workload from Tua in
Speaker 2: the ones against the Falcons tomorrow and when day. In
Speaker 2: the past couple of years you've seen in this right,
Speaker 2: because it's typically no Tua in the first preseason game.
Speaker 2: Where's dua? Why did I say it like trump right there? Yuck?
Speaker 2: You never know, But that's sort of the recent trend
Speaker 2: with this first preseason game, right. I think last year
Speaker 2: it was Mike White got the first half, Skylar Thompson
Speaker 2: got the second half, and then you start to get
Speaker 2: into managing the reps around the schedule of what's to come,
Speaker 2: and I think we got a bit of that today,
Speaker 2: as we probably see more practice reps for the ones
Speaker 2: and none in the game. Last year, we saw that
Speaker 2: first game against the Falcons. It was like twenty five inactive,
Speaker 2: so you start off with twos and threes to kick
Speaker 2: off the game and you end with fours and fives.
Speaker 2: We did see camp Smith back out there, although his
Speaker 2: participation was limited to the individual portion of practice. No
Speaker 2: team worked for him, but tells you he's getting close
Speaker 2: to a full return, which I really want to see that.
Speaker 2: I need to see him out there playing. I text
Speaker 2: Kyle because you know, I miss Kyle today. It didn't
Speaker 2: have out practice today, but it's you know, it's nice
Speaker 2: having two set of eyeballs that I trust a pair
Speaker 2: compared to just one. Not saying I don't trust anybody else,
Speaker 2: but I won't blindly trust anybody besides Kyle out of practice.
Speaker 2: So I told Kyle, like, gosh, here he is again,
Speaker 2: Cam Smith and individual drills, moving better than all the
Speaker 2: other cornerbacks out there and making me buy back in
Speaker 2: just based on how he moves around the football field.
Speaker 2: But I want to see him get some reps and
Speaker 2: hopefully start to pick at those you know, first year
Speaker 2: scars of not seeing a lot of playing time and
Speaker 2: kind of getting put into that bin off to the
Speaker 2: side of the of the toy room, as it were,
Speaker 2: where you kind of get neglected for an entire season.
Speaker 2: And it's that's a tough place to come back from
Speaker 2: for some players, and I think most players from the
Speaker 2: mental standpoint. But I want to start today with the
Speaker 2: actual practice notes, with something that I think often gets
Speaker 2: lost in the shuffle during training camp as we pivot
Speaker 2: away from news to I guess what the entire purpose
Speaker 2: is of training camp? You know, I know we can
Speaker 2: tend to be a little bit results oriented, and I
Speaker 2: guess the entire nature of these, you know, training camp
Speaker 2: review podcasts are kind of like that. I'm telling you
Speaker 2: what happened. We can take away from that. But I
Speaker 2: also appreciated the line of kind of progression we got
Speaker 2: over the first couple of weeks of camp and kind
Speaker 2: of getting some insight into how coaches view the progression
Speaker 2: and how there are certain results that you just flat
Speaker 2: out cannot concern yourself with over the first week or two,
Speaker 2: and then you start to build and build and generate
Speaker 2: your progress into what we might actually see on a
Speaker 2: game day. But just always remember that in these practices
Speaker 2: it's an accumulation, a building block approach, if you will.
Speaker 2: And today, earlier than I can remember the last three
Speaker 2: years of doing this, and we don't have a full
Speaker 2: camp complete yet, but in I guess two and a
Speaker 2: half training camps under Mike McDaniel, I think we're seeing
Speaker 2: a lot of the playbooks start to come into focus,
Speaker 2: which hasn't been the case in years past. To really,
Speaker 2: you know, drive that point home. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: report exactly on what we saw because that's against the
Speaker 2: rules and to put your team at a competitive disadvantage,
Speaker 2: which remember, if you're a Dolphins fan and listening to this,
Speaker 2: you most likely are if you tweet videos of our
Speaker 2: players for internet clout, that makes you a bad fan. Look,
Speaker 2: I'm not right in the rules here, but there's no
Speaker 2: other way around that because you understand that there are
Speaker 2: other scouting departments across the National Football League who have
Speaker 2: a guy who is combing through Dolphins Twitter and finding
Speaker 2: videos and relaying it to coaches in season as a
Speaker 2: potential look at what we might do. So don't do
Speaker 2: that if you don't want to tip off our plays
Speaker 2: to our opponents, because they will find it. Okay, all good, Okay.
Speaker 2: All of that said, it's cool seeing the offense come
Speaker 2: together with a bit of the fun design, the unique wrinkles,
Speaker 2: seizing advantage of overplay, the short passing game, all the
Speaker 2: weapons that they brought in to make that happen. And
Speaker 2: as we get ready for the Falcons, I thought today
Speaker 2: was one of the offens's more crisp days, just in
Speaker 2: terms of getting the ball to the open man, taking
Speaker 2: what the defense gives you, a smooth operation, well timed
Speaker 2: motions in the backs, seeing the gaps on time, quarterbacks
Speaker 2: being on time, just everything looking more September ready than
Speaker 2: it was back in July, for instance. And what a
Speaker 2: great sign that is heading into joint practice work, because
Speaker 2: you know, I remember twenty twenty two the joint practices
Speaker 2: Dolphins gave Tampa and the Eagles the business. Remember the
Speaker 2: Eagles were only here for one day because we had
Speaker 2: to cancel the second day of that practice, but they
Speaker 2: came off of that practice. I think it was Brandon
Speaker 2: Graham who said, like, you know, after they won the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, he was like, we thought that was going
Speaker 2: to be the team we'd see in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: After that practice, that's how good they were, and they
Speaker 2: gave Tampa the absolute work over in Tampa Bay a
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, but then last year it wasn't
Speaker 2: quite as good. The Falcons kind of had a back
Speaker 2: and forth, you know, battle with us, and then who
Speaker 2: else was it? It was at Houston, right, Houston had
Speaker 2: some good work force and we didn't know how Houston,
Speaker 2: how good Houston was going to be at the time,
Speaker 2: but they were some back and forth battles and those
Speaker 2: practices too, And again like who cares? Because does anybody
Speaker 2: remember those results besides me and the podcast here. But
Speaker 2: I do think that the ability to take it to
Speaker 2: other team at this point of the calendar it shows
Speaker 2: a good level of progress for where you are. And
Speaker 2: hopefully we can do that and beat the crap out
Speaker 2: of the Falcons next couple of days and then take
Speaker 2: it to the Commanders next week and then take it
Speaker 2: to the Bucks in two weeks. But I want to
Speaker 2: start today's soundbites with two from Mike McDaniel that I
Speaker 2: think coincide with that concept. It pairs well with the
Speaker 2: level of competition we've seen so far throughout Dolphins training camp.
Speaker 2: The accountability that guys have talked about here. It speaks
Speaker 2: to having a roster that the NFL players voted as
Speaker 2: having eight in the top one hundred and quite frankly,
Speaker 2: I think Phillips and Holland were snub from that list.
Speaker 2: I think Jordan Brooks, Kendall Fuller, and Devon A Cham
Speaker 2: should all have a say in that. But I also
Speaker 2: could probably argue that, based upon last year's production and performance,
Speaker 2: you could probably take Jordan Poyer off that list, and
Speaker 2: probably to Ron Armstead. So there's give and take, Like
Speaker 2: don't you can't say we have eight we should have
Speaker 2: had twelve. Like if you're gonna take if you're gonna
Speaker 2: put guys in, you have to take guys out. And
Speaker 2: that's just kind of how that all goes. And we
Speaker 2: know this list can be built on reputation. I trust
Speaker 2: what the players have to say about guys they line
Speaker 2: up against. But the whole voting system is kind of
Speaker 2: skewed because you only study guys that you play against.
Speaker 2: So a defender in the NFC that doesn't have the
Speaker 2: Dolphins in the schedule isn't gonna know what Tua did
Speaker 2: this year. Like it's a funky it's a funny diconomics.
Speaker 2: You like the player's opinions, but it's not a complete opinion,
Speaker 2: if that makes sense. All that said, I digress, I
Speaker 2: think Jordan Brooks, you know, Kendall Flord, Devon a Hian
Speaker 2: Can I'll have a say in that list as well. So,
Speaker 2: but having this roster of talented players and having them
Speaker 2: mostly taken care of from a contract standpoint, establishing your
Speaker 2: core of guys that know they're going to be here
Speaker 2: for the foreseeable future, and how that can empower them
Speaker 2: to really take ownership of this team. Like Tua said
Speaker 2: the other day, this is the player's team, it ain't
Speaker 2: Mike's team. And I think that's something that McDaniel has
Speaker 2: really established as his culture, like being true to the
Speaker 2: player's coach form, but also a guy that doesn't shy
Speaker 2: away from holding players accountable. There was a drill the
Speaker 2: other day at the close practice, the cancelation from the
Speaker 2: stadium practice, where like guys were complaining too much about
Speaker 2: you know, oh, he's he's tagged off. He's down there
Speaker 2: and they're like battling over what the actual ruling was,
Speaker 2: and he was like, Hey, shut the hell up and
Speaker 2: let's get back to work and they went right back
Speaker 2: to work after that, so he has definite command over them,
Speaker 2: but he has empowered the players to you know, be
Speaker 2: the ones that run the show, and he says much so,
Speaker 2: I'll let the players tell you how that works, rather
Speaker 2: than my making my assumption about what I think. Let's
Speaker 2: first hear go to coach McDaniel who talked about what
Speaker 2: it has meant to see Tua and Riek get paid
Speaker 2: and how their leadership has expanded off of this.
Speaker 5: I think that it's a cool part of the process.
Speaker 5: I think the team appreciates that some of the the
Speaker 5: best players we have on our team, you know and
Speaker 5: and really want them here. So when contracts are agreed
Speaker 5: upon on you have a little more stability and a
Speaker 5: little more known.
Speaker 3: So that's exciting.
Speaker 5: But you know, I I think I think the team
Speaker 5: has really responded to how the aforementioned players have responded
Speaker 5: to those types of things in terms of understanding that
Speaker 5: they're that As much as that is, uh, it's an
Speaker 5: accomplishment in itself. The the bigger goals and where they
Speaker 5: want their careers to be uh, what they want their
Speaker 5: careers to be known for is through the team. And
Speaker 5: you know, I've seen it even more investment into the
Speaker 5: team by all the players that have had new contracts,
Speaker 5: and I think that goes a long way.
Speaker 2: And that entire diatribe, you know, what I just said,
Speaker 2: was essentially confirmed there by coach. And you see it
Speaker 2: in sports all the time, don't you, guys. That. I mean,
Speaker 2: they get paid and the performance falls off. I remember
Speaker 2: Richie Sexton, that's a throwback for you longtime baseball fans.
Speaker 2: I got a big contract from the Mariners after a
Speaker 2: monster run with the Milwaukee Brewers, and I don't know
Speaker 2: if he wasn't working anymore, but the performance sure as
Speaker 2: hell fell off, Like it happens all the time in sports,
Speaker 2: right And there's definitely something to be said about complacency
Speaker 2: in any profession. I can tell you guys straight up here,
Speaker 2: there was times in this job where maybe complacency got
Speaker 2: the best of me and I wasn't I don't think
Speaker 2: the best version of myself at times, and that's that
Speaker 2: was a wake up call in some sense. And that's
Speaker 2: just simply not happening here with these players, especially when
Speaker 2: you ask coach McDaniel.
Speaker 5: That's that's what's been exciting from the team standpoint. I
Speaker 5: think that's what the team is excited about. Is you
Speaker 5: do have one or two directions. It's generally not the
Speaker 5: same as you have the negative way, which we're not experiencing,
Speaker 5: or you have players respect on to that investment with
Speaker 5: the with really the the what comes along with that
Speaker 5: in terms of uh, the the devotion to the team.
Speaker 5: Quite frankly, if you're a big piece of the salary
Speaker 5: cap and you're trying to be a good team, that
Speaker 5: that piece should be spent wise wisely, and there's a
Speaker 5: there's there's different leadership things that you're capable of doing that.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: I've really seen guys seize the moment and and step
Speaker 5: up their investment so that they can be the reason
Speaker 5: why we you you want to be a reason why
Speaker 5: you win, not win in spite of someone. So I
Speaker 5: think I think that it's been really exciting to watch
Speaker 5: our team develop as there's been a lot of individual talk. Uh,
Speaker 5: there's probably been more individual talk than years past, and
Speaker 5: the reaction has been more team investment and more self
Speaker 5: sacrifice really across the board by this team.
Speaker 3: So that's been exciting.
Speaker 2: I really like that, and it coincides with you know,
Speaker 2: you either get better or you get worse, you do
Speaker 2: not stay the same, and Waddle has had his best
Speaker 2: camp in my opinion, Tua has as well. And it's
Speaker 2: tough for Tyreek to beat twenty twenty two because I
Speaker 2: don't think I've seen another player dominate in a game
Speaker 2: or practice the way Reek did back in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: two's training camp. But he is pushing up against that
Speaker 2: legendary training camp with the work he's done this year.
Speaker 2: He's making all kinds of plays, and the roster is
Speaker 2: just full of guys like that, like Jalen Ramsey, who
Speaker 2: you know last year. So here it's kind of an
Speaker 2: interesting timeline for Jalen and myself with our relationship or
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it, because I was on
Speaker 2: is it paternity leave? Is that the right phrase?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I was on paternity when we signed our free agents
Speaker 2: last year. So that's why we didn't have the free
Speaker 2: agent twenty twenty three interviews on the Drag Time podcast
Speaker 2: because I was off and so I didn't get to
Speaker 2: meet him then. And then in training camp he went
Speaker 2: down on day two, so all of a sudden, he's
Speaker 2: not available to speak to from day two of camp
Speaker 2: until you know, week nine of the regular season, and
Speaker 2: he even told me this when I saw him. He said, like,
Speaker 2: you know, last year, I was so just focused on
Speaker 2: getting back from the injury that I didn't really have
Speaker 2: time for anything else. And lo and behold, I talked
Speaker 2: to the guy that I thought was maybe a little
Speaker 2: bit reserved and didn't have much time for someone like myself,
Speaker 2: and he's the nicest damn guy you could possibly meet,
Speaker 2: like Cordial telling me like I told him like how
Speaker 2: much I thought of his game, and he was like
Speaker 2: really appreciative of that. So I just continue to see
Speaker 2: the same themes as I. You know, I am a
Speaker 2: fly on the wall in so many senses with these
Speaker 2: players in this roster. And Jaylen Ramsey's just like that,
Speaker 2: but he's so locked in and so keyed in on
Speaker 2: what makes him, you know, a Hall of Fame player,
Speaker 2: first ballot Hall of Fame player. And I think this
Speaker 2: roster has achieved that envious position where the best players
Speaker 2: are also the hardest working players, and the trickle down
Speaker 2: result is, you know, hey, if Jalen Ramsey is doing that,
Speaker 2: if Tyreek Hill and Tua Tungabailoa are doing that, and
Speaker 2: I'm Cam Smith and I'm you know, Brayln Sanders and
Speaker 2: I'm Skyler Thompson. What the hell is my excuse to
Speaker 2: not do more than those guys that are establishing this
Speaker 2: league of star players. How does a one year minimum
Speaker 2: contract player or a rookie look at the guy and
Speaker 2: be like, I did enough today? You can't because your
Speaker 2: peers that are the best in the world are doing
Speaker 2: as much as they possibly can. And it goes back
Speaker 2: to my belief that this team has a good problem
Speaker 2: in that they might have too many captains to possibly
Speaker 2: narrow this thing down to seven or eight players, Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know how they're going to do that. It's
Speaker 2: too many guys. And I asked coach this, and even
Speaker 2: though he didn't practice today, I thought it was worth
Speaker 2: pairing with the rest of the concept here in segment one,
Speaker 2: I ran the audio from TUA on Saturday, just said him.
Speaker 2: He's him and that's great and tells you all you
Speaker 2: have to know about Jalen Ramsey. But McDaniel gave me
Speaker 2: a tad more as he has wont to do on
Speaker 2: the impact of having Ramsey involved on the field this year,
Speaker 2: in addition to all the input he gave last year
Speaker 2: in the meetings and walkthroughs and just being an absolute
Speaker 2: sponge or I.
Speaker 5: Hadn't seen up to that point a player involved himself
Speaker 5: as much as Ramsey did while he was hurt.
Speaker 3: That being said, he's more impactful when.
Speaker 5: He's not hurt, and I think he's I think he's
Speaker 5: comfortable with me saying that. You know, there's there's I've
Speaker 5: challenged a lot of guys and and there's been kind
Speaker 5: of a theme where you know, the first step is
Speaker 5: is expressing what you want or talking, but the most
Speaker 5: important step that really really makes honest words of your
Speaker 5: proclamations are your actions.
Speaker 3: So you know, Jalen's.
Speaker 5: Both put it upon himself to verbally set the tonality and.
Speaker 3: Then follow through uh with I mean he every day
Speaker 3: he makes UH, he's probably he's on a heater right now.
Speaker 5: Probably the last five practices he's done something that I
Speaker 5: hadn't seen a player at his position due so that
Speaker 5: that is probably the most important thing is is uh,
Speaker 5: your actions and and and the way you're trying to
Speaker 5: contribute to the team. Jalen knows that he can have
Speaker 5: as big of impact as anyone on the team, you know,
Speaker 5: with the with the type of player he is, He's
Speaker 5: taken that extremely serious and has been a very intense
Speaker 5: participator in in training camp.
Speaker 2: Practice and what have I praised Jalen for all camp
Speaker 2: long for how they've done a good job limiting deep shots,
Speaker 2: the best passing offense in the entire NFL, and the
Speaker 2: minute he steps off the field, when you know it,
Speaker 2: Tua and Tyreek connect for a deep one. And there
Speaker 2: were a few deep shots that could have been completed
Speaker 2: today but just did not get finished. Skyler Thompson had
Speaker 2: Anthony Schwartz on one but it was dropped. Thought the
Speaker 2: ball was too flat as well, but he should have
Speaker 2: definitely caught the football, but it was a little bit flat,
Speaker 2: didn't have enough air under it. Tua and Reek had
Speaker 2: one on a step over Ethan Bonner, but I think
Speaker 2: Tua just didn't spin the ball the right way or
Speaker 2: didn't get enough on the throw. And it was really
Speaker 2: windy today as well, so that could have had an
Speaker 2: impact by far the windiest day of practice so far.
Speaker 2: But you know, I thought Skyler was also battling the
Speaker 2: wind on some of the vertical shots. But I think
Speaker 2: the one that rek the miss to Reek was just
Speaker 2: a miss by Tua. But then he tries it again
Speaker 2: and throws the best ball we've seen all camp, long
Speaker 2: fifty yard hand off down the field where Tyreek was
Speaker 2: like five yards in front of the dB, and Tua
Speaker 2: uncorks this thing and Tyreek with the acceleration, the burst,
Speaker 2: you know, track and locate the football, go make a
Speaker 2: sliding catch on a perfectly thrown ball. Just professional football, man.
Speaker 2: It's cool when you watch these guys do at the
Speaker 2: highest level. Tua today, I thought, did more of the
Speaker 2: stuff we've seen over training camp, moving off the spot,
Speaker 2: throwing on the move, getting off the spot, and erasing
Speaker 2: free rushers and becoming a running threat. But there was
Speaker 2: a two throw sequence that I just absolutely loved. First
Speaker 2: was a rip to Craycraft for twenty five yards on
Speaker 2: a backside dig where he takes the football and fakes
Speaker 2: the hand off to the shotgun back to his right,
Speaker 2: which puts his footwork flipped from what he's supposed to be,
Speaker 2: and from there he's able to scan front side, pull
Speaker 2: the ball out of the belly of the back and
Speaker 2: not hit that quick hitter to the right side of
Speaker 2: the formation. But as his eyes work backside, the feet
Speaker 2: flip as well, and he carries out this fake and
Speaker 2: resets his feet and throws a ball right on the
Speaker 2: bullseye to the former Washington State kook Like. I was
Speaker 2: so impressed by the footwork and the mechanics and the
Speaker 2: hip flip and the ability to get the ball up
Speaker 2: and down from that spot was just really impressive. And
Speaker 2: then the very next play he gets alec Ingold, who
Speaker 2: springs a bit of a coverage leak on little wheel
Speaker 2: route to the right side, and he just loft this
Speaker 2: perfectly floated ball up the sideline to Ingold for a
Speaker 2: big catch and run, just a bucket drop on a
Speaker 2: touch throw. It is fun to watch premier quarterback play
Speaker 2: man changes the entire way you watch a practice. Speaking
Speaker 2: of Tua, one last note here and they'll take our
Speaker 2: first break. There was a moment today where I thought
Speaker 2: maybe too was done for the day. He's walking up
Speaker 2: the sideline and I'm thinking, like, they got joint practices.
Speaker 2: He's gonna take the majority of the reps tomorrow and Wednesday,
Speaker 2: no helmet in hand. And then he turns back around
Speaker 2: as the first team offense goes on the field and
Speaker 2: ten yards behind him there's Darryl Bevell holding his bucket,
Speaker 2: his helmet and he goes to a knee, Bev does
Speaker 2: and presents the helmet to Tua like King Arthur pulling
Speaker 2: Excalibur from the stone, and then Twa bows to Bev's
Speaker 2: to say thank you, young patawan. And I just thought
Speaker 2: how fitting that we saw a cool moment like that.
Speaker 2: After Coach had this to say this morning about the
Speaker 2: Tua and Bevel relationship.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, there's not many relationships more important to
Speaker 5: the Miami Dolphins and the fan base than that of uh.
Speaker 3: Uh to en Coach Bevel really because.
Speaker 5: It's the ultimate trust that you have to build on
Speaker 5: a daily basis and that you have to maintain on
Speaker 5: a daily basis. And and you know, when at that position,
Speaker 5: I think the work that they've done together, I would
Speaker 5: I would attribute.
Speaker 3: To the the the.
Speaker 5: Continued progression of of Tua's game directly correlates to to
Speaker 5: their work and how and and case and point. You know,
Speaker 5: you you feel like you almost see a newer, more
Speaker 5: glistening version of Toua every single time we we step
Speaker 5: out to a to a new phase, whether that be
Speaker 5: a Phase two.
Speaker 3: Or a training camp. Uh every year that's been the case.
Speaker 5: So I think that that is a connective relationship that's
Speaker 5: very important. That is there's a there's only one way
Speaker 5: to really establish a relationship like that, and that's pure
Speaker 5: investment on both sides. And and a very proud at
Speaker 5: how they continue to attack, you know, with pride, you know,
Speaker 5: to his game and uh, coach Bevill's ownership in his
Speaker 5: game and they they I'm.
Speaker 3: Happy that they get to hang out every day.
Speaker 5: And I think, uh, you know, Coach Bevill's sense of
Speaker 5: humors really helped develop to a sense of humor. That's
Speaker 5: a that's a behind the scenes thing. He's got a
Speaker 5: lot of jokes. Oh he does. Maybe next time he
Speaker 5: guys talk to him, ask Coach Belvill to tell you
Speaker 5: some jokes, low key hilarious.
Speaker 2: And I knew this was a strong bond when at
Speaker 2: Tua's extension presser, Bev sat in the front row with
Speaker 2: the tongue of Bilos the family and was on baby duty.
Speaker 2: One of the best quarterback coaches in the business and
Speaker 2: holding a seven month old during a press conference. That
Speaker 2: might be the trickiest job of all. I mean, come on,
Speaker 2: that's how good is that? That's you know, they say
Speaker 2: family is football, in this instance, it really is. All right,
Speaker 2: we have more cool stories to weave in here. I
Speaker 2: want to come back to the offense and get all
Speaker 2: this stuff done, and I cannot wait to share with
Speaker 2: you guys the Quentin Bell content from the day, not
Speaker 2: comparing the players, but the story is very cam Wake
Speaker 2: esque all of that. Next Draft Time Podcast, your host
Speaker 2: Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. Orange jersey
Speaker 2: prediction tomorrow, it's gonna be Julian Hill. Spoiler alert. Now,
Speaker 2: I think we'll get one tomorrow, but they don't award
Speaker 2: the jersey on day two of a joint practice because
Speaker 2: they don't want to put a target on our guys.
Speaker 2: Coach answered a question about that last year, like, not
Speaker 2: a great idea to say, Hey, look this guy kicked
Speaker 2: your butt all day, let's go ahead and put a
Speaker 2: target on him. Those weren't the exact words he used,
Speaker 2: but it makes perfect sense to me. But if we
Speaker 2: do have one tomorrow, my pick is going to be
Speaker 2: a Julian Hill. And seeing the way he executes such
Speaker 2: a variety of blocks and plays and expands this offense, gosh,
Speaker 2: it's fun. We did a lot on him last week
Speaker 2: and heard from John Embry and Durham smythe about how
Speaker 2: he's coming along, his physicality, his expansion in the offense,
Speaker 2: the year two growth and today Julian had this three
Speaker 2: play sequence that basically had me like the two guys
Speaker 2: on water Boy like, oh wait, that's the best quarterback
Speaker 2: guy scenes and Joe mont Dana or Tackler. I think
Speaker 2: I just butchered that, but you get what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: It was three plays where I'm like, pack up your bags.
Speaker 3: We're good.
Speaker 2: We've seen all we have to see here. Our work
Speaker 2: is done. That's a damn ball player. So it starts
Speaker 2: off with a concept that they used to do against
Speaker 2: Andamikan Su opposing offenses where he was so quick up
Speaker 2: the field they would just let him get up the
Speaker 2: field and leave him unblocked and bring over a tight
Speaker 2: end or a fullback and wham him out of the play.
Speaker 2: And I don't think it was designed that way. It's
Speaker 2: hard to I don't have rewind, so I can't go
Speaker 2: back and check it. But what I saw was z
Speaker 2: seek vanden Berg shoot the a gap and get through clean.
Speaker 2: And here comes Julian Hill feeding back across the formation,
Speaker 2: and he just takes Van den Berger's momentum and drives
Speaker 2: him right out of the pocket like the tackle box
Speaker 2: here moves him from that equation and allows the quarterback
Speaker 2: or sorry, sorry, allows Jeff Wilson to see like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's gonna take him all the way left. Now I've
Speaker 2: got cut back lanes to the right because Vandenberg has
Speaker 2: just abandoned his gap. Let me go get that, and
Speaker 2: he hits it with conviction. So Julian Hill turns a
Speaker 2: big negative. Possibly a injury causing hit on your running
Speaker 2: back in a live situation you don't maybe he never know,
Speaker 2: and maybe a turnover, maybe he jars the ball loose.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, it's a positive game because of
Speaker 2: Julian Hill's physicality and immense control over his own ability
Speaker 2: to block and hit the right target points as a blocker.
Speaker 2: The next play, I'm laughing because this doesn't happen. I've
Speaker 2: seen NFL guards fail for sixty snaps a game to
Speaker 2: do this. Once, Zach Seeler is playing like a four tech,
Speaker 2: like a four to four eye technique, and the tackle
Speaker 2: winds up pulling outside of the tight end and he
Speaker 2: goes in there and has a down block on Zach
Speaker 2: Seeler and he pushes him back two yards I'm pausing
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to emphasize how impressive that is, because
Speaker 2: that's all it is. I mean, it's one of the best.
Speaker 2: It's one of the most productive defensive tackles in the
Speaker 2: National Football League. A guy that freaking you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know what gladesman do as far as like farm work,
Speaker 2: but that's what the kind of stuff that Zach does.
Speaker 2: He's out there wrestling alligators and whatnot. And then Julian
Speaker 2: escorts Malik Washington, who takes an end around. And this
Speaker 2: is part of the cool offensive design we saw today.
Speaker 2: You guys know what orbit motion is when the receiver
Speaker 2: or the eligible goes in motion behind the entire formation,
Speaker 2: and then you have return motion where he goes back
Speaker 2: to where he came from, come back from whence you came.
Speaker 2: He goes on orbit return motion and takes a little
Speaker 2: sweet play to the outside, and Ken Fuller has this
Speaker 2: thing locked down.
Speaker 4: He is.
Speaker 2: He is thou shalt not pass across the edge as
Speaker 2: the force defender. And here comes Julian Hill and it's
Speaker 2: not I'm sure Fuller didn't want to see this, but
Speaker 2: here comes Julian Hill who gets in position to square
Speaker 2: up Fuller and take him out of the play and
Speaker 2: create a lane for Malik to hit a ten plus
Speaker 2: yard run. It was so impressive, And I've I have
Speaker 2: a pre recorded segment for the Thursday podcast where I
Speaker 2: talk about Julian. This segment was after I recorded that,
Speaker 2: and like, I'm so glad that he confirmed what I
Speaker 2: already put on tape, because my god, he looks awesome.
Speaker 2: So we also got John hus Smith on the mic
Speaker 2: today to talk about the tight end position and McDaniel's
Speaker 2: comments last week about the versatility of that position and
Speaker 2: how it correlates to the versatility of your offense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean man at the tight end, uh and
Speaker 4: and and any offense man is really the guy that
Speaker 4: really helped really creates the defense to move. You know,
Speaker 4: that's that's the that's the adjust you know where he's
Speaker 4: usually the strength for the formation, and you know he's
Speaker 4: usually the guy that's going across the formation, motioning across
Speaker 4: and shifting and just moving all over the place. That
Speaker 4: causes a defense to move, That causes causes the defense
Speaker 4: to adjust. So if you got a guy already that's
Speaker 4: you know, giving the defenses headaches, and then when you
Speaker 4: go out and you know.
Speaker 2: He got it.
Speaker 4: He has a certain skill set that's that's hard to defend.
Speaker 4: You got a lot of problems on Sunday, man. So
Speaker 4: that's why I love playing in the position, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, and uh, just being able to use
Speaker 4: my advantage against teams, and you know, it's part of
Speaker 4: the reason why I'm going to my aphia of the NFL.
Speaker 4: So glad to be doing it with UH. With Mike
Speaker 4: McDaniel calling the plays. Man, he's a hell of a coach,
Speaker 4: hell of a play caller, So it's excited about everything
Speaker 4: we got in front of us.
Speaker 2: Hell of a coach, hell of a play caller. I
Speaker 2: thought that was really interesting. He also talked about, you know,
Speaker 2: playing multiple different spots, and I want to go ahead
Speaker 2: and just run this audio because well, let's just go
Speaker 2: ahead and play the audio from Johnny.
Speaker 4: I mean everything, man is everything whatever, you know, whatever
Speaker 4: I'm called to do, you know, he's gonna utilize me
Speaker 4: to my skill set. That's why I'm so excited about
Speaker 4: being here. You know, I've been in offenses where you know,
Speaker 4: my talent has been utilized and underutilize. So it's good
Speaker 4: to be back on inside.
Speaker 2: I've been in places where I've been properly utilized in
Speaker 2: places where I've been underutilized. New England. I remember they
Speaker 2: signed him and Hunter Henry. I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 2: that's a problem. Those are two really good football players.
Speaker 2: Were you guys like me? Probably not. I became a
Speaker 2: Titans fan in twenty nineteen, especially that run of the playoffs.
Speaker 2: One of the most happy I've been watching football in
Speaker 2: the last decade plus because we just hadn't had a
Speaker 2: lot of playoff success around here. Was watching Ryan Tannehill
Speaker 2: beat the Baltimore Ravens in that twenty nineteen Divisional round
Speaker 2: game and John new Smith had some big plays in
Speaker 2: that game, and I'm like that, I want dolphin, give
Speaker 2: me that, make that a dolphin. And then he goes
Speaker 2: to New England and I didn't like that, but then
Speaker 2: they didn't know what they were doing offensively, and so
Speaker 2: he kind of fell out of favor for a couple
Speaker 2: of years. Then goes to Atlanta and an offense similar
Speaker 2: to this one with Arthur Smith and balls out. So
Speaker 2: I want to go ahead and play one more SoundBite
Speaker 2: here speaking of our for Smith, how is the offense
Speaker 2: coming along for you and how are you picking it?
Speaker 4: Up.
Speaker 2: Is it second nature for you yet? When does that
Speaker 2: happen one more time?
Speaker 3: John new Smith, Well, I've been in this system.
Speaker 4: It's kind of you know, West coastyle system for a
Speaker 4: while now, you know what I mean, going back with
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith, Matt Lafleur been in his offense for a
Speaker 4: while now. So it's a lot of familiar terms, you know,
Speaker 4: a lot a lot of the same schemes, just different, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, ways of ways addressing it up, different ways
Speaker 4: addressing it up. So just learning, learning already, having an
Speaker 4: idea of what we're trying to do makes it a
Speaker 4: lot easier, you know what I mean. So just continuing
Speaker 4: and hond on. Uh, you know this this this playbook,
Speaker 4: and you know, establishing my role in it, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, And you know, just attagging it every day,
Speaker 4: every night, you know, whether it be in these meetings
Speaker 4: and these walkthroughs. You know, already a couple of weeks in,
Speaker 4: everything's coming a lot slower. So you know, it only
Speaker 4: get better from here on out.
Speaker 2: And man, you kind of noticed that about so many
Speaker 2: parts guys that were added with the intent of how
Speaker 2: how they can help with what we do. Right, we
Speaker 2: had the core evident by these contracts and the core
Speaker 2: received that those core guys received the last month with Wattle,
Speaker 2: tu La Ric and so on. But then we went
Speaker 2: to work adding parts that could support and supplement those
Speaker 2: guys and make their lives easier, but also take advantage
Speaker 2: of overplay to stop those guys. If you want to
Speaker 2: play by the old rule of you can't let their
Speaker 2: best guy beat you. Then we have John new and
Speaker 2: his familiarity with the system, Malik Washington and how his
Speaker 2: body of work at Virginia was essentially what we do
Speaker 2: here in this system. Jalen Riott Tennessee with the inside
Speaker 2: zone looks and the outside zone combination off of that
Speaker 2: same exact thing. Odell Beckham, who's played a couple of
Speaker 2: years in Los Angeles with Sean McVeigh, and how he
Speaker 2: can maximize positional flexibility because of his ability to play
Speaker 2: inside and outside while offering vertical stretch. Doesn't it just
Speaker 2: all make so much sense? Speaking of Jalen Wright, thought
Speaker 2: he was very good once again today. I think that
Speaker 2: he just sees things and processes very fast because from
Speaker 2: my vantage point, there is no hesitation in the second
Speaker 2: week of practices for a rookie unning back. It's very impressive.
Speaker 2: And then we have the offensive line, and I want
Speaker 2: to run some sound here from Austin Jackson, who I
Speaker 2: don't care what he plays like if he talks, I
Speaker 2: want to listen to him because he has such terrific insight.
Speaker 2: Now he has had a terrific training camp so far,
Speaker 2: and you can set your watch to his performance. Like
Speaker 2: I lam said, he's kind of one of the guys.
Speaker 2: I'm just like, yeah, that's good. I don't need to
Speaker 2: watch that anymore. There's two reps. Good enough. I know
Speaker 2: what we're getting from him. Let's go ahead and start here. Though,
Speaker 2: with how Austin spent his offseason, I did.
Speaker 1: I broke it down game by game. I did watch
Speaker 1: all of them try to find some tendencies within myself,
Speaker 1: and it gets tough because you can't, you know, it
Speaker 1: gets really the challenge with that is I could make
Speaker 1: up an issue and go change everything I do, which
Speaker 1: you don't want to do. So after watching all the film,
Speaker 1: it just gave me a sense of confidence and who
Speaker 1: I am as a player and the things I do well.
Speaker 1: And I saw definitely a couple of things I need
Speaker 1: to get better at, which I was a focus.
Speaker 2: In the off season, and of course Austin being Austin,
Speaker 2: and I had to follow up about how a player
Speaker 2: balances when he can tinker with things versus just being
Speaker 2: worried exclusively about putting out good tape in the instance
Speaker 2: of you know, a player trying to make his way,
Speaker 2: or Austin last year, for instance, trying to prove to
Speaker 2: the staff that he was the right tackle. Now that
Speaker 2: he is, do you feel more freed up to tinker
Speaker 2: with things? And how do you balance those two approaches?
Speaker 1: And I think our coaches do a good job. My
Speaker 1: position coaches do a good job of challenging me with
Speaker 1: new stuff when they see needed need be. I'll also
Speaker 1: change up stuff on my own, just because that's how
Speaker 1: it is. In a game like I can't I can't
Speaker 1: come off the field and as coach what I need
Speaker 1: to change, you know, something doesn't go my way. So
Speaker 1: it's a good balance of they'll help me get an
Speaker 1: idea of what I could change for practice, and then
Speaker 1: you know, I take those tools and go from there.
Speaker 2: You more hear from Austin. He gave us an explanation
Speaker 2: or an evaluation on a player that I think has
Speaker 2: been awesome all camp Long and Patrick paul Us.
Speaker 3: He's great.
Speaker 1: He has a great feet and a great feel for
Speaker 1: playing left tackle, and then you know all the other
Speaker 1: stuff that comes with is just helps him even more.
Speaker 1: He's super not super tall, but he's tall, has a long,
Speaker 1: slender frame, and he can move really well. And that's
Speaker 1: the biggest thing to go against guys, to move well
Speaker 1: and to overpower them still just by your stature. You know,
Speaker 1: he has a he can make up a lot with that.
Speaker 1: If he keeps working hard and he's trying to get
Speaker 1: better every single day, he'll be a pretty legit tackle
Speaker 1: in this.
Speaker 4: League very soon.
Speaker 2: Some other offensive line notes here extra points style Rob Jones,
Speaker 2: what a camp he is having more surge today, more space,
Speaker 2: clearing blocks off the edge or moving guys in a
Speaker 2: phone booth. And just can't get enough of his pass
Speaker 2: protection because he's been so fantastic there. And I think
Speaker 2: that's a real sign of growth from him with how
Speaker 2: he plays within this system. We know how they want
Speaker 2: to fly off the football and make their run block
Speaker 2: and pass block look identical to each other. It's the
Speaker 2: same thing as route running. You want every route to
Speaker 2: look the same, but also have the ability to go different.
Speaker 2: That's not anything new, but he's really taking to it.
Speaker 2: Jump in quick sets, are there, throw the punch, Bluff
Speaker 2: the punch, you know, draw your hands, pull him back,
Speaker 2: and then repunch. It seems to really to have a
Speaker 2: really good idea of how to vary his looks as
Speaker 2: a professional offensive lineman. And it makes sense because you
Speaker 2: have to remember, this is a guy that didn't start
Speaker 2: playing football until his senior year of high school. He
Speaker 2: goes to Middle Tennessee State and runs almost exclusively a
Speaker 2: duo offense, which we don't do a ton of here,
Speaker 2: but we do have it in the playbook. But it's
Speaker 2: all vertical sets in the past protection where it's just
Speaker 2: stay in front of your man and get back to
Speaker 2: the last scrimage as fast as you can. And these
Speaker 2: hurry up offenses. And we talk all the time about
Speaker 2: multiple years in the system and what it does for guys.
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on Rob Jones on Friday night as
Speaker 2: we go along here. That guy he might be getting
Speaker 2: the most of the most from his time here in
Speaker 2: the offense. Last year he's trimmed down too. He got
Speaker 2: hurt and he talked to me about how that helped him.
Speaker 2: You know, kind of see things better from the system
Speaker 2: and just kind of getting evaluation from a bird's eye
Speaker 2: point of view, if you will. Also, he came into
Speaker 2: camp last year at three twenty eight and got down
Speaker 2: a three twenty one by the season, he's three thirteen
Speaker 2: right now, and it showed about how quick he is
Speaker 2: and how lee and how and how mobile he is,
Speaker 2: but also he still maintained the strength required to play
Speaker 2: that position. I think Sean Harlowe might might be a
Speaker 2: roster offensive lineman. He just got here, and I'm very
Speaker 2: impressed by what I've seen so far. He's super strong,
Speaker 2: saw a lot of sturdy anchors and good seals against
Speaker 2: guys that go three fifteen plus a day. To me,
Speaker 2: he's already the second best center in camp and he's
Speaker 2: only been here for a couple of days. One more
Speaker 2: audio SoundBite here for Austin to put a bowl on
Speaker 2: offensive line talk and the offense in general, which also
Speaker 2: gets us into our next portion of the podcast with
Speaker 2: Quentin Bell. Here is Austin Jackson closing out segment two.
Speaker 1: I would say this camp, I am coming off my
Speaker 1: second Well how do I frame this? I got hurt
Speaker 1: my first year in this system in my second year,
Speaker 1: I felt pretty good. So now that I'm in my
Speaker 1: third year, I just feel even more confident, even more excited.
Speaker 1: There's a great new slew of rushers doing their job
Speaker 1: really well. You know Manuel Agba, credit to him, he's
Speaker 1: gotten a lot better and he's rushing really well. I
Speaker 1: expecting him to have great season. And like you know
Speaker 1: Trup Robinson as well. You know, he's rushing really well,
Speaker 1: having him great training camp. And Quentin Bell, Quentin Bell
Speaker 1: is having a very offseason. So it's good to go
Speaker 1: and get those guys every day because it's it's real,
Speaker 1: it's real work that we do. You know, watch each
Speaker 1: other and we attack our strengths and weaknesses every day.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, having that is definitely just
Speaker 1: gonna get me better. While I'm already confident.
Speaker 2: And you heard talk about Quintin Bell. Let's talk about
Speaker 2: him and more on the other side. Draft Time Podcast,
Speaker 2: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Autoation. You're
Speaker 2: not gonna hear a better story this training camp than
Speaker 2: the one from Quentin Bell. He was in the Orange
Speaker 2: Jersey on this Monday. And sometimes you know you see
Speaker 2: a camp star start fast and fizzle out. But here
Speaker 2: we are on day ten and Quentin Bell has the
Speaker 2: ox cord. Let's first ask him to reflect on that
Speaker 2: a guy that was winning Scout team Orange jerseys or
Speaker 2: their camo down here as it were last year, to
Speaker 2: a guy who's wing the orange jersey and training camp practices.
Speaker 4: You know, I feel like my whole career started in college,
Speaker 4: has just been a grind, you know, get it out
Speaker 4: the mud and as we say, and going through that
Speaker 4: had just made me stronger. It's made me stronger, send
Speaker 4: me work even harder. You know. I love them people
Speaker 4: telling me I can't. I love them people tell me no,
Speaker 4: because I've always known what I'm about and I've always
Speaker 4: known my skill set and what I can be, and
Speaker 4: I prove it in college been I mean, I had
Speaker 4: a great season playing one year of a position, and
Speaker 4: I know that if I could do that, I could
Speaker 4: do anything.
Speaker 3: And so I love to grind.
Speaker 4: I love the mud, and I feel like ultimately all
Speaker 4: these things that I've been through in the NFL, it
Speaker 4: just made me better.
Speaker 2: It made me want it more, and from that sparks
Speaker 2: this type of mentality and a player doesn't it.
Speaker 4: I'm getting. I'm definitely getting a lot of great reviews
Speaker 4: and great views of my peers and you know people,
Speaker 4: you know, gaining respect and gaining that trust. I just
Speaker 4: feel like I just been flying around. I feel like
Speaker 4: I have a high motor and I fight the faster
Speaker 4: you play, you know, players come to you. You're gonna
Speaker 4: make plays just off playing fast. And I definitely feel
Speaker 4: like my speed and my get off and those things
Speaker 4: are my strengths. And so my main goal is playing
Speaker 4: as letting the players come to me knowing my assignments.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I'm flying around. That's the main thing I'm doing,
Speaker 4: is flying around, man, And I feel like I'm gonna
Speaker 4: find the ball and just off my speed and just
Speaker 4: off my want too, my will and my motor, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna make place.
Speaker 2: And during practice, speaking of those jump sets by Rob Jones,
Speaker 2: I saw Ryan Crowe doing hands on work with the
Speaker 2: guys where he threw this pad on and strapped it
Speaker 2: across his chest and the guys would he would do
Speaker 2: a jump jump set and the edge rushers would shoot
Speaker 2: their hands quickly. So I was like, I gotta ask
Speaker 2: Quentin Bell about this, because Ryan Crowe's group seems to
Speaker 2: be getting a lot done this camp. How has his
Speaker 2: coaching impacted you?
Speaker 4: Ryan Crow is amazing that He's definitely probably the best
Speaker 4: coach I've ever had. He's just a very good teacher.
Speaker 4: And one thing that I really really pride myself on
Speaker 4: is being coachable. I feel like to make a switch
Speaker 4: from receiver to the defensive end, you have to be
Speaker 4: able to be coached in such a drastic change. And
Speaker 4: so from the date, from day one in college, I
Speaker 4: pride myself on being coachable. I need to learn these drills,
Speaker 4: these techniques, take it to the field. Yeah, I'm fast,
Speaker 4: but that's only gonna get me so far. I got
Speaker 4: it better at being a defensive vent, not just an athlete.
Speaker 4: I feel like Ryan Crow does a great job of
Speaker 4: just being a teacher doing drills that translate to what
Speaker 4: we're gonna do in a game in real football. And
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm absorbing it very well. I mean,
Speaker 4: I feel like just from Ota so now I've gotten
Speaker 4: so much better. Just off the Joe's that he's happening.
Speaker 2: To to do a showbity do. Uh Sorry, just the
Speaker 2: way I ended that last quote was like very Adam
Speaker 2: Sandler demeanor intensity, even just the way he looks Coach
Speaker 2: Crow reminds me of Mike Frable. It's fitting he spent
Speaker 2: time on staff with Mike because I just think from
Speaker 2: the way he looks physically to the approach and style,
Speaker 2: it's very veryble esque to me. But man, if I
Speaker 2: told you no JP, no bea chubb Shaq Barrett retires
Speaker 2: before camp, No camp good, and I tell you there's
Speaker 2: a chance the offense. The outside linebackers have had the
Speaker 2: best camp of any group. Talk about a feather in
Speaker 2: Ryan Crow's cap right, ogball was good once again, Grayson
Speaker 2: and Murphy had a sack today, Chop continues to get
Speaker 2: after it, and Mo Kamara was a freaking problem. He
Speaker 2: had a fun matchup with Patrick Paul where he crossed
Speaker 2: face and just plays super low with such explosion and
Speaker 2: power through that low pad level, and Paul ran him
Speaker 2: past the quarterback. But he might have grabbed some jersey
Speaker 2: to do that. And what I love about this is
Speaker 2: that Patrick Paul gets all these reps against these quick
Speaker 2: guys that can play so low to the ground and
Speaker 2: can angle and bend and turn the corner. There's not
Speaker 2: many edge groups that will test that around the league
Speaker 2: like he sees every single day down here. In Miami
Speaker 2: and it's going to help him get ready faster than
Speaker 2: anything else I can imagine. All right, extra points to
Speaker 2: close the podcast. River Craycraft Steady as she goes Baby,
Speaker 2: just all reliable. Caught all of his targets once again,
Speaker 2: including a tough one off frame. Brilin Sanders is a
Speaker 2: guy that has kind of made a jump. To me,
Speaker 2: he had a great catch off frame where Scyt Thompson
Speaker 2: was way too high and away with the football plucked
Speaker 2: that thing strong hands. He looks long. It's easy to
Speaker 2: confuse him with Jody Fortson from a distance, which tells
Speaker 2: you about the length that he plays with. Not to
Speaker 2: mention eighty six and eighty eight on the back of
Speaker 2: the jersey is very tough to tell from a long
Speaker 2: ways away. Speaking of forts and to me it was
Speaker 2: far and away his best day. Saw the skills that
Speaker 2: we saw in Kansas, they did I think made him
Speaker 2: super intriguing as a free agent prospect. He caught one
Speaker 2: on a back shoulder where he did a one hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty degree jump and spun to the front Pilon
Speaker 2: for the touchdown and Seth from the Fish Tank podcast
Speaker 2: is sitting right next to me. And says, who is that.
Speaker 2: That's a big dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah he is.
Speaker 2: He definitely is speaking of big dudes. Tierra Tart starting
Speaker 2: to make it a habit where he blows through the
Speaker 2: lion of scrimmage and shuts the play down within one
Speaker 2: second of the snap each day. Happened again today Leonard
Speaker 2: Paine had one of those two for a big tackle
Speaker 2: for loss. The undrafted rookie out of Colorado, Jonathan Harris,
Speaker 2: continues to deconstruct blocks impressively. He also rejected a pass
Speaker 2: from Tua on a fourth down play in red zone
Speaker 2: situational football that was going to an open receiver for
Speaker 2: a touchdown.
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 2: Point saving plays will always get you in the notes,
Speaker 2: and so will interceptions, which cater Co who had one
Speaker 2: of those today, he picked off two in the same drill.
Speaker 2: Now it was a time expired on the clock. It's
Speaker 2: either if we don't throw over the ball. It just
Speaker 2: came over either way. So he threw it into tight coverage,
Speaker 2: which was there by cater Cohu who made a spinning,
Speaker 2: leaping jump, jumping catch, leeping and jumping the same thing
Speaker 2: in the corner of the end zone might not have
Speaker 2: gotten both feet down but I don't care. It was
Speaker 2: an impressive display of athletic ability. Speaking of big plays,
Speaker 2: Jason Matrie had another big play today and this wasn't
Speaker 2: a pick, but he was left all alone to the
Speaker 2: short side of the field the boundary with Tyreek Hill
Speaker 2: without safety help. That's guaranteed touchdown for two and Tyreek
Speaker 2: most of the times if you do that. He was
Speaker 2: in phase and competed and elevated and broke the ball up.
Speaker 2: It was gonna be a walk in touchdowf He didn't
Speaker 2: get a hand on it, but he did and he
Speaker 2: knocked it away and his teammates loved it. There's a
Speaker 2: few players I'm more excited to watch than Jason Matrie,
Speaker 2: who was a late udfa ad after the original Frenzy,
Speaker 2: who I didn't know much about from Wisconsin, but he
Speaker 2: just forces his way into your notes with how he's performed.
Speaker 2: Let's watch it play out in games. Elijah Campbell had
Speaker 2: back to back plays in this practice where he got
Speaker 2: a run stop working behind Jonathan Harris, who again holds
Speaker 2: up blocks pretty well, and then he also had a
Speaker 2: pass coverage rep where he plastered on River Craycraft, who
Speaker 2: threw on his move moving to the left. Great Craft
Speaker 2: came back to the ball, but Campbell broke on it
Speaker 2: and broke it up in the end zone. My orange
Speaker 2: jersey predictions I mentioned, number one is going to be
Speaker 2: Julian Hill. Number two is going to be alec Ingold,
Speaker 2: who had a couple of catches and got vertical on
Speaker 2: some guys and had some good work in the blocking game.
Speaker 2: I could see him getting the orange jersey and then
Speaker 2: my third orange jersey, don't. I don't love the pick.
Speaker 2: I have two guys I liked a lot today. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go with tr Tar. I just thought he was
Speaker 2: constantly in the backfield or at least causing you displacement
Speaker 2: in the offensive line and pass protection.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
