Speaker 1: All right, another version of the audible Kimbo Camper, John
Speaker 1: con Jemmy, Joe Rose. By the way, how are you guys?
Speaker 1: Very nice? Yeah? Matter of fact, I went up to Gage.
Speaker 1: Can I say this from quickly? Yeah? First I was
Speaker 1: gonna say this. Can I say this first? Yeah? You know, John,
Speaker 1: you know, had the nice traditional easter, you know, the
Speaker 1: family had relatives come in, everybody coming. I went out
Speaker 1: to Dallas and met my daughter, you know, for traditionally,
Speaker 1: Joe went to a track meet Joe grack Melle. There
Speaker 1: you go, Joe. I am, you're on your fifth wedding marriage.
Speaker 1: I am buster good. She goes, we got a little
Speaker 1: time to kill until we can see our daughters. She's
Speaker 1: busy doing her events up there, and I go, let's
Speaker 1: go walk around the sporting stuff over here. She goes,
Speaker 1: where are we going? I go, oh, there happens to me.
Speaker 1: Tracked me. I go, there's a track meeting. A lot
Speaker 1: of the South Floridia kids are running and including Mary
Speaker 1: a coheritage plantation relay teams. She didn't know what to
Speaker 1: relay team. Right, that stuff was, I said, the four
Speaker 1: by one team, four by one hundreds and fastest team
Speaker 1: in the country for high school and I said, Patrick,
Speaker 1: Sir tan Son is on that team. I'd like to
Speaker 1: see him in this swords kids. The fastest kid in
Speaker 1: the country. So she was trooper. I got two hours
Speaker 1: at track from I watched two hour two hours. Not
Speaker 1: many people could pull that on before Easter weekend where
Speaker 1: they did. They have Easter engs at the end of
Speaker 1: the finish line, both of you guys hit the Easter
Speaker 1: family tradition much better night. So I guess I'm assuming
Speaker 1: you didn't make it a church either. Then no, you
Speaker 1: know that's slow man. I had no, no, no, I
Speaker 1: didn't make it this church either. So I made a
Speaker 1: Church of St. I was there. Look, yeah, okay, So
Speaker 1: they got some news going on, a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: on the on the program to do, We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: to receiver Albert Wilson, one of the new covers from
Speaker 1: Kansas City. And you look at Albert Wilson. Here's the
Speaker 1: guy speedies, a four or four type of a guy.
Speaker 1: This guy can make big plays for you. I really
Speaker 1: don't know much about him. Didn't pay that, you know,
Speaker 1: didn't you know, focus on him. When the Dolphins played
Speaker 1: Kansas City late in the season, but here's a guy
Speaker 1: that that you know you're hoping can fill in for
Speaker 1: the loss of Jarvis along with Danny Amndola, spread the
Speaker 1: catches out like like Adam Gays has talked about. But
Speaker 1: another guy that can give you a home run ball
Speaker 1: rather than a move the chain guy. Well, listen, having
Speaker 1: a guy that can play inside and outside, that can
Speaker 1: run four fours. You can't have enough of those guys,
Speaker 1: I'm all. You know, we talked about the speed package
Speaker 1: a year ago. I just got to go faster. Listen,
Speaker 1: you get all those guys you want because it just
Speaker 1: potentially a guy misses a tackle or a guy breaks
Speaker 1: the tackle, and you've got big plays. We just need
Speaker 1: more of him. Something this offense has been lacking with
Speaker 1: some other problems, but having speed, you can't have enough
Speaker 1: in the vertical passing game. You know, you go back
Speaker 1: to what Ryan did well when he was back on
Speaker 1: the field, and that I thought improved, you know it,
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, getting more accurate throwing the
Speaker 1: football down the field with Kenny Stills, that was a
Speaker 1: big hook up, you know, two years ago. You go back.
Speaker 1: Now you've got a guy with great speed, you match
Speaker 1: him with Grant on the outside that can play X
Speaker 1: and Z on either side. You've got some vertical threats
Speaker 1: down the field. And Joe, you make a good point
Speaker 1: in Boat about making guys miss. I think that's what
Speaker 1: Wilson does best in traffic, you know, making that you turn,
Speaker 1: run a little bit and that jump cut, getting around
Speaker 1: guys and moving the chains that could help this offense.
Speaker 1: And you you talk about Ryan a little bit. You
Speaker 1: remember early his early years, first two or three years, Oh,
Speaker 1: he can't throw the long ball. Camp through the long ball.
Speaker 1: I think two years ago he answered that question when
Speaker 1: the that was his biggest improvement. People want to talk
Speaker 1: about his awareness in the pocket getting a little bit better.
Speaker 1: People want to talk about tucking the football when you
Speaker 1: need to and getting a first down with his legs
Speaker 1: because he is that athletic. His biggest leap for me
Speaker 1: is being accurate down the field forty yards plus thirty
Speaker 1: yards plus putting a little bit more air because it
Speaker 1: was flat coming out for the first couple of years,
Speaker 1: getting used to getting accustomed to letting guys and throwing them,
Speaker 1: making him run and get it. I thought that was
Speaker 1: a big worked on it though. It was one thing
Speaker 1: about Ryan. I know, we talked about it, and I
Speaker 1: like fans to know this guy works hard. Man. He
Speaker 1: maybe some of it's not natural, but he works hard
Speaker 1: to get better. You tell him he's got a weakness,
Speaker 1: he works on it. He's outstanding outside the pocket throwing
Speaker 1: on the run, but his drop back and hit and
Speaker 1: throws down and his timing with his guys. He's working
Speaker 1: with those guys now, man to get timing. They're working
Speaker 1: on it. And if he loses his job or they
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback, which I know, it ain't gonna be
Speaker 1: from him prepared for everybody out there, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a that's an anti Ryan guy. Oh, he was just
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. All the things that you hear. He
Speaker 1: can't throw the ball downfield, this and that just not
Speaker 1: gonna be an elite guy. How are you gonna claim it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Joe. It certainly isn't isn't for lack
Speaker 1: of preparation the guys in the meeting rooms. He's constantly
Speaker 1: keeping himself up to speed on everything they're doing the field.
Speaker 1: Works as hard as anybody out there at home off seat.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's look, you couldn't ask for a better guy.
Speaker 1: When it comes to the work ethic that he's brought
Speaker 1: to and and and we forget that the toughness that
Speaker 1: he has, he's got that. I think that sometimes people
Speaker 1: outside voices we always talk about and and focus on
Speaker 1: these are things he can't do, Okay, these are the
Speaker 1: things that this guy can't do, no matter if it's Ryan,
Speaker 1: no matter whatever it is. Sometimes you have to focus
Speaker 1: on what does he do well? And when you start
Speaker 1: talking about that, the list starts growing a little bit
Speaker 1: longer and longer when it applies to Ryan Tannehill. Because
Speaker 1: we thought I couldn't throw the ball deep. We thought
Speaker 1: maybe he's not the best leader, maybe he's not the
Speaker 1: rob rob, maybe he's not the vocal guy. They can
Speaker 1: throw latent games, Magan Makan plays. You know all the
Speaker 1: things that the tractors said he can't do these things, Well,
Speaker 1: you start checking off the list. Some of the things
Speaker 1: are getting off that list. And he's answered a lot
Speaker 1: of questions over the years. There's no question about that.
Speaker 1: Now he's got to answer the question you of coming
Speaker 1: back from men, coming back and doing that. And because
Speaker 1: quite frankly, one of the things that really when Ryan
Speaker 1: plays at his best, that ability to force the team
Speaker 1: to respect the running quarterback, a guy that can tact
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage on that little that little lead
Speaker 1: option out there where that little zone read where he
Speaker 1: can tuck the ball under. You know the value that
Speaker 1: he that that he got out of that was it
Speaker 1: was really something that that made this offense click. So
Speaker 1: you know that to me, of all the things with
Speaker 1: him coming back from from those those knee problems, can
Speaker 1: he come back and be confident enough to plant that
Speaker 1: plant that foot in the ground. And because the last
Speaker 1: time he made a cut, we were here at going
Speaker 1: out of bounds and a harmless play just rolling out
Speaker 1: and ended ended the season. All that came from talking
Speaker 1: about Albert Wilson. I thought that was I thought that
Speaker 1: was Easter and Joe's big goes right. He started with
Speaker 1: one's and stuff the winding road may find myself. We're
Speaker 1: talking about Willis. How the hell do we get to Tanny?
Speaker 1: I started, you know what, you know what, I went
Speaker 1: to church on Sunday. I get those conversations going in
Speaker 1: about halfway through the conversation, someone says something that cuts it.
Speaker 1: For about five seconds, I couldn't come back and I
Speaker 1: go I forgot what I was talking about. Jimmy, I
Speaker 1: got kathlet guilt five seconds ago. I forgot what I forgot.
Speaker 1: So that's it anyway, So we got all that. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to that. We're gonna get to the Albert
Speaker 1: Wilson interview. Talking a lot about the different things. There's
Speaker 1: been some moves in the a f C East, including
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, including New England Patriots. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that a little bit. We're gonna talk about the draft
Speaker 1: a little bit. Started to draft not not that far away.
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna be. We're gonna be, you know,
Speaker 1: neck deep in the draft here pretty soon. So we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit. So a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff to get to. And I want to remind you, Joe,
Speaker 1: you know this is a podcast, right, We're doing a
Speaker 1: podcast now. You gotta look for it. There's places to
Speaker 1: get at. Apple Music, pretty good place. I listen to
Speaker 1: Apple Music every now and then, need too. I just
Speaker 1: got that by my kids. Yeah, I like that. Like
Speaker 1: a month ago, I just found out that Apple had
Speaker 1: of music. I just found out a month ago I
Speaker 1: was paying for it. Yeah, that's how I found I've
Speaker 1: known I was paying all along dot com. You can
Speaker 1: find it my Miami Dolphins mobile appter Joel and they
Speaker 1: can't figure out how to get on his phone tune

Speaker 1: to get on set. I got a billy club and
Speaker 1: a face in a hat, and I'm running down. I
Speaker 1: got these shoes on and stuff. I'm running down downtown
Speaker 1: West Palm Beach. I finally get to the procession. It's
Speaker 1: a church and they've got all the extras lined up

Speaker 1: the bottom of the steps because that's I just got there.
Speaker 1: I'm out of breath, I'm running. I'm like nineteen years old, right,
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, Burt Reynolds comes out with
Speaker 1: the thing and they're going up the steps and they go, God, God,
Speaker 1: this isn't work, and hold on, let's do it again.
Speaker 1: So Burt ends up standing right next to me. Now,
Speaker 1: earlier that winter, I had met Burt Reynolds through Dan
Speaker 1: Marino because the bottoms, you know, oh this wine, he
Speaker 1: took us these places. So he's standing right next to me.

Speaker 1: us every week and you can send your stuff in
Speaker 1: so we can get some good, pretty good questions over
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, which is nice. It's nice
Speaker 1: to interact with nice to interact interact with the fans.
Speaker 1: So you can send those questions in on Facebook or
Speaker 1: Twitter eating every week and find out what's going on.
Speaker 1: So let's get going on this thing. Joe Uh, Joe
Speaker 1: and John Uh. First of all, like I said, we'renna
Speaker 1: talking about the draft a little bit, but in this
Speaker 1: kind of affects the draft, certainly from a standpoint of
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots and Big News Today, Brandon cooks
Speaker 1: Uh traded by the New England Patriots get the first
Speaker 1: two first round draft picks. Are they get a first
Speaker 1: round draft pick in a four four for that one?
Speaker 1: They've already got the So they got the twenty three
Speaker 1: and the thirty first pick in the draft. And I
Speaker 1: just keep looking up the road and seeing the New
Speaker 1: York Giants and jeez, we like two first round draft
Speaker 1: picks Rodell Beckham, And I'm just singing, no, no, you're safe.
Speaker 1: For one thing, they don't like paying you. That's because
Speaker 1: that contract was about ready to come up and it
Speaker 1: was gonna cost him fourteen or fifteen million a year
Speaker 1: to keep on. Yeah, but that that that you don't
Speaker 1: think you got to. You got two pretty lousy first
Speaker 1: round picks down there, closer to second round than first round.
Speaker 1: And in my book, when you get down that that
Speaker 1: area and you got a guy like Odell Beckham hanging
Speaker 1: out there, you don't think that's got to be part
Speaker 1: of the conference. And gronk and go anywhere. I think
Speaker 1: Belichick is putting up with whatever he may not like
Speaker 1: and going he's the best tight end. And by the way,
Speaker 1: he's got a front league contract at an eight million
Speaker 1: dollar base a year to be the best tight end.
Speaker 1: I'll take the only thing about him and he just
Speaker 1: you know, he's having a tough time staying on the field.
Speaker 1: You know he I mean, he's got he's the he's
Speaker 1: the big kid you used to play with in the
Speaker 1: park where he's running down the field and like eight
Speaker 1: guys jump on dragging him down the field. You know.
Speaker 1: It's two back surgeries and knee surgery and a bad
Speaker 1: concussion at the end of the year that he missed
Speaker 1: some games. Write no doubt about it. So the other
Speaker 1: move the Dolphin, former Dolphin. Now he's become former Dolphin
Speaker 1: defensive end. Terence Today reports out there on the Buffalo
Speaker 1: website or Facebook page where they had logan Facebook page
Speaker 1: or website, Twitter, which is even more even more sweet
Speaker 1: birds Twitter, which is more you know, that's gospel. That
Speaker 1: is the gospel when you're on Twitter. Terence Today, former
Speaker 1: Dolfin defensive end, signs with the Buffalo bill So we'll
Speaker 1: be dealing with Terence today. I always like Terence Today
Speaker 1: a good player. Uh. And when he came in, he
Speaker 1: gave you good effort and good guy. You know, here's
Speaker 1: the guy who comes from Mariss little Meriss College and
Speaker 1: you know he's he's he's been a league now for
Speaker 1: four years for him with with the guys they have,
Speaker 1: let's let's be honest. Yeah, there's defensive ends. He wasn't
Speaker 1: he not better any of those guys. We look at
Speaker 1: you look at that crew. You've got Robert quin, Andre Branch,
Speaker 1: William Hayes, Cam Wake, Charles Harris, Terence Fordet was part
Speaker 1: of that group. Cam and Malvo another guy in there
Speaker 1: like yeah, man Malvo didn't help him either, bite showing
Speaker 1: that he could play at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: So they're there. Yeah, I mean we talked about it
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. The you know, the vast
Speaker 1: number of defensive ends they got, well one of them
Speaker 1: is gone in Terence today. So kind of changes the
Speaker 1: landscape in the in the East a little bit in
Speaker 1: the FC East. It's gonna be interesting to see what
Speaker 1: New England does with that. Uh, with the three it is.
Speaker 1: The other thing is free agency. Free agency June thirteen
Speaker 1: over with. I mean it's over until June thirteenth. They'll
Speaker 1: come back or June one. I'm sorry, they'll come back
Speaker 1: June one. And and then you get that second phase
Speaker 1: after the drect half this and that. This guy now
Speaker 1: becomes a little expendable, and so you have some other guys.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins get the sume money kicking in at that
Speaker 1: exactly that money kicks in, so their salary cap gets
Speaker 1: a little more friendly as far as they're concerned. So
Speaker 1: free agency done for now. Uh So you gotta turn
Speaker 1: your attention to draft and and here we and that's it,
Speaker 1: you know, but you know, maybe I'm the only guy here,
Speaker 1: Joe that kind of keeps looking at this saying, here's
Speaker 1: the last couple of drafts. You've had a handful of
Speaker 1: guys from each one of those drafts be pretty productive
Speaker 1: players for you. If you can duplicate that again this
Speaker 1: time and get somebody, you know, get two or three
Speaker 1: really good impact guys and some helpers out there, then
Speaker 1: you're starting to build a pretty good stack of draft
Speaker 1: choices that are that are staying on your team. They're
Speaker 1: on the field, that are on the field and playing.
Speaker 1: They got they just all got to get better. All
Speaker 1: those guys got to continue the way we saw. I
Speaker 1: hate to bring it up Kenyan Drake getting a chance
Speaker 1: to play. He was a front line running back to
Speaker 1: those last five six games. We need that growth from
Speaker 1: Ts all those X Man's got to go to the
Speaker 1: next step, which he got real good. Next step for
Speaker 1: him is being consistent. Tunsil and DeVante Parker man right
Speaker 1: at the top of the list. If he can stay healthy,
Speaker 1: there is no question. And I have more debates with
Speaker 1: people about DeVante Parker and I said, listen, if he
Speaker 1: can stay healthy for the most part, you're gonna see
Speaker 1: You're gonna see some good numbers and get more. He'll
Speaker 1: get more there. Last year, Joe, I have to say
Speaker 1: the teas was out on DeVante because you watch him
Speaker 1: in O T S do you watch him in training
Speaker 1: camp and you go, we've got something. Specially, this kid
Speaker 1: is really showing me that maybe I was I was
Speaker 1: one of those doubters. Maybe I was wrong. This kid
Speaker 1: is ready to go and you get a little tweak,
Speaker 1: and that's the thing I think for DeVante that he
Speaker 1: needs to be able to fight through. Everybody's gonna get
Speaker 1: bumps and bruises. Other guys react differently. You know, certain
Speaker 1: players can play through those things. Certain players they get
Speaker 1: a little bit out of line and they're just not right.
Speaker 1: He's got to find a way to fight through and
Speaker 1: be that player, whether he's nicked or not. You know that.
Speaker 1: And he had an ankle ankle problem. That that that
Speaker 1: affected him, right, that was that was kind together. But
Speaker 1: you're you're a receiver, you're somebody. Look and you play
Speaker 1: you play football. I don't care what level you play.
Speaker 1: Your ankles are important. You're you're because you're running everything. Uh.
Speaker 1: And there's some guys that can tweak an ankle, spraining
Speaker 1: an ankle and just strap that bitch up and go
Speaker 1: and not even think about it. Then there's those other
Speaker 1: guys that you get a little something in there, you
Speaker 1: get a little stretching that ligament in your ankle, and man,
Speaker 1: they just can't they just can't go. And you hope
Speaker 1: that's not you hope you can fight through that. Not
Speaker 1: because because look this, it's not the last time he's
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna he's gonna twist an ankle, not last
Speaker 1: time he's gonna he's gonna have to fight through an
Speaker 1: injury that maybe it's not an injury. Maybe he's just
Speaker 1: pain that you got to fight through and continue to
Speaker 1: play at a high level. I remember spraining my ankle.
Speaker 1: I blew my knee out. My rookie year, missed the
Speaker 1: whole season, third preseason game. We're getting ready play to
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, Thursday, our last hard practice. I
Speaker 1: wrenched my I'm I twist my ankle like big time.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going ash ship, you know, and I'm
Speaker 1: going you know, I don't want to be this guy.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna be this guy. Ain't gonna be that
Speaker 1: You're you didn't play off season last year, now you
Speaker 1: can't play again. That's what I got me. Healed up
Speaker 1: real quickly, so I went. I remember going in and
Speaker 1: he says, he said, well look you, I say, co
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. I'm playing. Don't worry about it,
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, we need you to get out there
Speaker 1: and play, you know. So I strapped that bitch up.
Speaker 1: I said, look, I put it. I went to that game.
Speaker 1: I said, I said, you you you put that thing.
Speaker 1: It's I don't want it to move. So I was
Speaker 1: wearing a size twelve on one shoe and a size
Speaker 1: fourteen on the other shoe, just to get over the
Speaker 1: over thing. And I went out and played and I
Speaker 1: couldn't move very well. And I remember this. I remember
Speaker 1: in the in the tapes, in the meeting or in
Speaker 1: the filming. You don't you think, well, they're gonna give
Speaker 1: you a break because you got a bad ankle. Hey,
Speaker 1: hell no, God damn it. You gotta get out there.
Speaker 1: You gotta get upfield. You gotta get out there. Why
Speaker 1: but Mike, I don't want you played? Didn't you play well?
Speaker 1: Then you got damn it. That was the most frustrating
Speaker 1: part of the old NFL is you either shoot your
Speaker 1: leg and you're out there thinking you you were helping
Speaker 1: the guys and you wanted to make sure you're part
Speaker 1: of it. And then when you didn't play well and
Speaker 1: I had those, and when you don't play well and
Speaker 1: you get your ass chewed and you're like, wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I went out and played played like Ship. Wasn't
Speaker 1: any good. You're playing like Ship out there. Hey, how
Speaker 1: about the other side of that too? Though sometimes you
Speaker 1: felt deflated after a game, where you go, man, I
Speaker 1: just didn't have it to that. I just didn't all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you get there and you go, well,
Speaker 1: wasn't that bad. Nobody said anything about what why did
Speaker 1: that guy run that route? That that was his fault, right,
Speaker 1: you know, And you started going, well, it wasn't as
Speaker 1: bad as I thought, because I'm going or you're always
Speaker 1: dreading the play. Here it comes, two more plays, it's coming.
Speaker 1: I remember it like. It's the problem with Shula is
Speaker 1: if you had a bad play, you knew it wasn't
Speaker 1: getting by him Tuesday mornings. On Monday morning. But he
Speaker 1: used to have a habit. He'd get up in the
Speaker 1: he'd get up in the in the front of the
Speaker 1: meeting room on on on film day and film day.
Speaker 1: You can walk in that locker room on film day
Speaker 1: before you went to the meeting and you could hear
Speaker 1: a pin drop and we had carpet on the ground.
Speaker 1: That's how quiet it was. I mean you could every
Speaker 1: guys you're just sitting in their locker. No one's looking
Speaker 1: at anybody. And and oh, by the way, we just
Speaker 1: won by ten, you know, and so you're going to
Speaker 1: and shoot you all right, let's see the first quarter
Speaker 1: in Jesus Christ, you know, back second series, not even
Speaker 1: he's not even gotten the tape. He's just going through
Speaker 1: like the pre This is the preview, like the trailer.
Speaker 1: Second series. Yeah, my deep, my left defensive and can't
Speaker 1: get up fail, can't get up failed, And he doesn't
Speaker 1: even mean to miss anyone's name or no tape left defense,
Speaker 1: no tape my left defenseman, can't you have to feel it.
Speaker 1: They get around the corner, they allowed to right, they
Speaker 1: get down and you don't. I was a left defense
Speaker 1: there and he would kind of go through. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: go through every play, but he would hit the real
Speaker 1: low lights. You know, you know and everybody in that room,
Speaker 1: and I Joe, you, I know you. I know you've
Speaker 1: been there. I've been in no situations where you walk
Speaker 1: in that room and you don't remember all the good
Speaker 1: plays you have, so you know exactly when the bad
Speaker 1: plays are coming up and you're just sitting there. Sc jeez.
Speaker 1: Here it comes when it was really bad. I just go,
Speaker 1: Please don't say anything from the team because the defensive
Speaker 1: guys I don't want them to hear me get rid
Speaker 1: and just yeah, yeah, once you get you kind of
Speaker 1: you kind of break up. Right. That was about when
Speaker 1: I moved to defensive end. When when I was playing linebacker,
Speaker 1: we're with the linebacker and all the dbs, so you
Speaker 1: had all everyone in coverage was in that room and
Speaker 1: you're in there and and so that you know, now
Speaker 1: everybody's getting ship thrown out of And then then I
Speaker 1: moved to defenseman, I go in the defensive line room
Speaker 1: like six guys and you're going, which this is great,
Speaker 1: you know, and I got two guys. They were really shitty,
Speaker 1: so they took the majority of and had and had
Speaker 1: really bad attitude. So so they got all the heat.
Speaker 1: You know, first it was Doug Batters. You used to
Speaker 1: get all the heat from from most scary of the
Speaker 1: defensive line coach. Then we had to two guys that
Speaker 1: got drafted came in and they took the heat off Doug.
Speaker 1: So you know, we'd sit over there just but that
Speaker 1: was the The film sessions to me were the if
Speaker 1: we didn't have to watch films, I could have played
Speaker 1: another five years in that league. Off day you couldn't
Speaker 1: even enjoys destroyed. Well, we used to do off day.
Speaker 1: We we would have we were playing Sunday, be off Monday,
Speaker 1: and then watched the films on Tuesday. So you're off
Speaker 1: day on Monday. You couldn't have any fun because you're
Speaker 1: you're everything you do. You know, you go to the beach,
Speaker 1: you go to Howard Johnson. You know you're having a
Speaker 1: peanut colada. You know, the girls in bikinis are out
Speaker 1: there and alsin you go. Was the third quarter? Um,
Speaker 1: and I have to see it tomorrow bad. You're right.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're all the rest of the guys
Speaker 1: that team were like, I don't know. I heard one
Speaker 1: of I was one of the coach was here over
Speaker 1: the last you know, two decades or however long it's been. Um.
Speaker 1: I remember one time they had a really bad game
Speaker 1: and I said, I said. The coach two days later
Speaker 1: said Jesus, tapes must have been looked pretty bad. They
Speaker 1: were so bad. I didn't even show him to the team,
Speaker 1: I said, to hell, but they were not even gonna
Speaker 1: watch it. I said, what, Yeah, he said, yeah, we
Speaker 1: weren't gonna watch it. Man, I wish you were mind
Speaker 1: calling anyway, So that anyway, I don't know how we
Speaker 1: got off on that, but we got off on a
Speaker 1: tangent there. Anyway, Let's kind of get back to to
Speaker 1: where we're going reset a little bit. We'll talk about, um,
Speaker 1: what's going on here? And uh in our interviews and stuff,
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about Albert Wilson kind of
Speaker 1: got started. We'll get to him and then we'll get
Speaker 1: back and kind of turn our attention towards a draft.
Speaker 1: Who you think or what position you think? I'm not
Speaker 1: looking at guys and this guy, that guy to me
Speaker 1: at this time in the draft, with all the everything's going,
Speaker 1: it's more about what position need? What? What do you need?
Speaker 1: What do we really need? What's more important? And we
Speaker 1: solidified this position where we don't we don't need to
Speaker 1: go that way. Where the quarterback situations faul, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about all that. And when you talk about the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the draft and you talk about Ryan Tallons, we did.
Speaker 1: All the receivers are certainly gonna be very interested and
Speaker 1: what happened, what happens like that. But one of the
Speaker 1: guys that's one of the new members of the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins came over from Kansas City, very excited to be here.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna bring a lot to a table.
Speaker 1: Tough guy. Uh So, so let's hear what Albert Wilson
Speaker 1: had to say. All Right, Albert Wilson, one of the
Speaker 1: newest member of the Miami Dolphins. Uh. How does it feel?
Speaker 1: And uh, let's talk about your decision to uh to
Speaker 1: make Miami your home. Oh man, it's a it's a blessing. UM.
Speaker 1: I feel like it was an opportunity that that needed
Speaker 1: to be taken at this time and I'm just happy
Speaker 1: to be here. You come out your undrafted free agent.
Speaker 1: You spend four years in Kansas City, Uh, kind of
Speaker 1: working in your craft. UM, were you looking forward to
Speaker 1: going through the whole free agent situation and all that
Speaker 1: went onlong with that? Yeah? Yeah, definitely. You know, like
Speaker 1: you said before, you know, undrafted free agents, so you know,
Speaker 1: you really don't get get all this publicity and stuff
Speaker 1: um over over what you've done. So, you know, just
Speaker 1: having a spotlight for a while and definitely seeing your
Speaker 1: hard work payoff. It definitely it feels good. What did
Speaker 1: you What were you able to do to get to
Speaker 1: the level of player that you are right now after
Speaker 1: going undrafted? Um? I just I just kept learning and
Speaker 1: kept getting better. I feel like, UM, I've had coaches
Speaker 1: a coaching staff that really believed in me and knew
Speaker 1: what I was capable of, and they just sat there
Speaker 1: beside me and pretty much pretty much got me through
Speaker 1: of everything I needed to get through to become long
Speaker 1: in today. How long did it take you before you
Speaker 1: realize that, Hey, I'm I'm good enough for playing this league.
Speaker 1: I can be somebody that can, uh, that can make
Speaker 1: something happen in this game. I would I would say
Speaker 1: I would say that the last two seasons, I just
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, I can't be guarded and and
Speaker 1: and this is meant for me. And and every day
Speaker 1: I go into to the weight room or go on
Speaker 1: the field just thinking that that that to myself, and
Speaker 1: that that helps me prepare a lot change the scenery. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, after being in Kansas City for four years,
Speaker 1: are you excited about that? There's there a little consternation
Speaker 1: of what it's gonna be like, new players, new team,
Speaker 1: new environment, all those different things. Uh do those things
Speaker 1: all float through your mind at some point? Um, everything
Speaker 1: is really fresh right now. So I'm just excited about
Speaker 1: the whole process. I'm really ready here, ready to get
Speaker 1: to work. Um. We we still have a month to go,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna just take it in and just be
Speaker 1: prepared for it for that month to come. And get rolling.
Speaker 1: You've been the league for four years, and free agency
Speaker 1: has been around for certainly longer than you've been here.
Speaker 1: But I think free agency now it's it's been a
Speaker 1: little crazy. This year hasn't a little different than than
Speaker 1: what we've seen in past years. It's going to become
Speaker 1: more of a more of a circus atmosphere. It seems
Speaker 1: like even before the regular even before the league season starts,
Speaker 1: it was all the chaotic rumors and trades and stuff
Speaker 1: already taking player was nuts out there, wasn't it was.
Speaker 1: It was pretty crazy. And I think just about like
Speaker 1: you know, the players itself, of recruiting other players and
Speaker 1: stuff in that source, it just makes the free agency
Speaker 1: seeing more better, and you know, it gives the guys
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunity to shine lights on, you know,
Speaker 1: like the up and coming guys like myself. So I
Speaker 1: think I think it was a great great free agency
Speaker 1: this year. Did you when you went in, what what
Speaker 1: were you expecting out of free agency? Did you have
Speaker 1: an idea of teams? Did you know who was looking
Speaker 1: for players or did you represent did you guys talk
Speaker 1: about all those types of things or was it just hey,
Speaker 1: here we go and let's let me, let me put
Speaker 1: my seatbelt on and see what this ride is gonna be. Like. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: We we figured that it would be a market out
Speaker 1: there for me. Um, I felt like I've done my
Speaker 1: job this past season and I feel like a lot
Speaker 1: of people seeing that, and you know, as far as
Speaker 1: what team was going going to next, we just figured
Speaker 1: what was best for us. And you know, coming back
Speaker 1: home and just being able to you know, do something
Speaker 1: for you for your state. It was an opportunity itself
Speaker 1: and m Miami, it's just the franchise itself. It's just awesome.
Speaker 1: And I just want to be able to to to
Speaker 1: to push this team past any expectations they got. You.
Speaker 1: You went to port Port St. Lucy ice Cream, played
Speaker 1: quarterback at Port St. Lucy. They're playing a quarterback. Help
Speaker 1: you become a better receiver, I would say, I would say,
Speaker 1: so you just you know, you look at the offense different.
Speaker 1: You know, you you not only just know your job,
Speaker 1: you know everybody's job. And when when When you're able
Speaker 1: to do that and you're able to think about more
Speaker 1: than one thing while you're out there lined up, it
Speaker 1: gives yourself a pretty good shot. So you've made your
Speaker 1: home in Florida, offseason home in Florida the entire time
Speaker 1: you've been in Cancer. You step up in the Port St.
Speaker 1: Lucy area. Yeah, Yeah, I definitely was was back in
Speaker 1: the area, getting getting work done up there with um,
Speaker 1: you know, some of the guys I grew up with
Speaker 1: that's still that's still working out and stuff. So you know,
Speaker 1: definitely get back home, able to you know, get away
Speaker 1: for a little bit, see the family, but definitely still
Speaker 1: still get to work in. Well, what got you to
Speaker 1: Georgia State where you went and played your college football?
Speaker 1: What the what? What path took you there? It was?
Speaker 1: It was another great opportunity. Um, a school that that
Speaker 1: wasn't that haven't played any games and and and I
Speaker 1: feel like a guy like me that wasn't highly recruited
Speaker 1: as everybody else, had a chance to make a statement
Speaker 1: in history itself. So UM, I looked at it as
Speaker 1: an opportunity to take. Yeah, you know, I went too small.
Speaker 1: I went to Sanosey State. But I've talked to a
Speaker 1: lot of kids where, you know, the kids I didn't
Speaker 1: want to go, and they're talking about it on Big
Speaker 1: ten or SEC and this and that, and and usually
Speaker 1: my my uh, you know, my what I usually try
Speaker 1: to tell him, say, go somewherehere you can play. Go
Speaker 1: somewhere you're gonna get on the field and play. You
Speaker 1: can go to you can go to the SEC. You
Speaker 1: can go to Georgia and sit on the sideline for
Speaker 1: four years and watch everyone else play, or even go
Speaker 1: somewhere where you can play and let other people watch you.
Speaker 1: I always thought that was I certainly was a better
Speaker 1: path for me and obviously a better path for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely the smart thing to do. Like you said, Georgia
Speaker 1: State was gonna be the quickest way I can get
Speaker 1: on the field, and it worked out pretty good for me.
Speaker 1: And who who helped you? Who helped you with that
Speaker 1: decision making process when you're when you're getting ready to
Speaker 1: get out of high school and move on and and
Speaker 1: make that decision as to where it was gonna be
Speaker 1: the next place, you're like me, Like you know, I
Speaker 1: had very limited options coming out of high school from
Speaker 1: a recruiting standpoint, so you kind of took what you
Speaker 1: could get. But but was there somebody helping you out
Speaker 1: with that process? Yeah? I definitely had a high school
Speaker 1: coach that that's still with me. To this day. Coach Pool.
Speaker 1: Coach Pool, he's a great guy. UM, a great mentor
Speaker 1: and you know he Um he played, he played at
Speaker 1: the college level. And UM at that time, we sat
Speaker 1: down and we looked over our options and Georgia State
Speaker 1: with the best best decision for me. If you would
Speaker 1: look back and look at yourself right now. Uh. And
Speaker 1: for Dolphin fans out there that are listening to this
Speaker 1: and UH and they don't uh, they don't know what
Speaker 1: Albert Wilson brings to the table. Maybe there's saw you
Speaker 1: play a little bit with Kansas City. Let you give
Speaker 1: us a scouting report on on what you feel like
Speaker 1: you're gonna bring to this organization. I am a dog,
Speaker 1: point in blank period. You're gonna get a fight. And
Speaker 1: that's pretty much what I see when you get eleven
Speaker 1: on eleven is who gonna win that one on one battle?
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna win that one on one battle. And
Speaker 1: you believe you're gonna win that battle every time you
Speaker 1: go out. Definitely, did you do your conversation with with
Speaker 1: coach Gaze and Um and coach Jefferson the wide receiver
Speaker 1: coach Sean Jefferson, who Sean likes to talk a little bit, DON'TI?
Speaker 1: Coach Jefferson got he got a gift a gap, doesn't he? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But it was definitely cool getting in and just getting
Speaker 1: to see where these guys mindsets was. You know, coming
Speaker 1: into this team, you know, you're just going off of
Speaker 1: pretty much what you can see outside of the franchise,
Speaker 1: but definitely getting inside the organization and just having to
Speaker 1: the light talks with the coaches and and Ryan, I
Speaker 1: couldn't be more happier. Let's talk about growing up. Anybody
Speaker 1: in your life mentors that that really shaped what your
Speaker 1: life was about. Yeah, definitely. Um, I grew up in
Speaker 1: foster care, so it was a lot of people that
Speaker 1: that was pretty much a a stand in my life.
Speaker 1: And Ms ms Prior, Doctor Prior, she was up one
Speaker 1: of my high school teachers and she definitely she was
Speaker 1: my mentor throughout high school all four years, just just
Speaker 1: teaching me pretty much how to be a man and
Speaker 1: and outside of sports and just just you gotta be
Speaker 1: a man first. And then the Bailey's and they took
Speaker 1: me in um pretty much when it was tough. It
Speaker 1: was it was a real tough time and they came
Speaker 1: and took me in and it was a blessing. And
Speaker 1: I'm always in and and and uh in debt with them.
Speaker 1: I stayed with the Bailey's I want to say my
Speaker 1: the ninth, tenth year, ninth and tenth three for about
Speaker 1: a year and a half, and then I moved with
Speaker 1: the Browns um to find out that we were actually related,
Speaker 1: and and they took me in before knowing that I
Speaker 1: was actually related to them. Uh, they took me in
Speaker 1: and um, pretty much gave me a home that I
Speaker 1: never had, you feel me, so when they came in,
Speaker 1: it pretty much changed changed my life around. So it
Speaker 1: was it was it was a couple of people, you
Speaker 1: know that that came in in my life and helped
Speaker 1: me and stay forward. You said that you were you
Speaker 1: You found out with one of your foster families that
Speaker 1: you were related. How did you find out about that? Um,
Speaker 1: it was pretty much just a conversation me and my
Speaker 1: cousin was having pulling into the driveway. It was just
Speaker 1: of of of we was talking about South Carolina actually,
Speaker 1: and I was like, um, you know in Florida, you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't know many people who actually left to go
Speaker 1: So I'm like, what you know about South Carolina? And
Speaker 1: he was telling me his families from there, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I got family from there too. So we
Speaker 1: went in the house and asked his mom and next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, Rick Cousins, it's crazy, it's crazy. You know,
Speaker 1: it's funny these days you talk about heroes and different
Speaker 1: things and this and that, and you look at people
Speaker 1: in foster care. I was just reading article the other
Speaker 1: day the family that, uh, they took in four kids
Speaker 1: they want to become fosters. They took in four kids,
Speaker 1: all teenage kids, twelve years old to nineteen years old. Uh,
Speaker 1: and they just adopted all of them, and and and
Speaker 1: and and in the parents, the foster parents that that
Speaker 1: helped guide you to get you where, you know, those
Speaker 1: are those those are kind of the unsung heroes in
Speaker 1: our society. People that go out open up their homes,
Speaker 1: open up their hearts to people they really don't know
Speaker 1: for a long stretch. And you and you you experienced that,
Speaker 1: and it sounds like you experienced, uh, your experiences with that,
Speaker 1: we're very good for you. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Um, the
Speaker 1: foster care system, I feel like it's it's something that's
Speaker 1: not really spoke upon, and you know, it's a millions
Speaker 1: of kids in foster care, and you know, every child
Speaker 1: I feel like deserves a chance. And um, you know
Speaker 1: it's not their their fought. They're in this situation and
Speaker 1: you know, for somebody to come in and bring a
Speaker 1: stranger into their home and you know, and to protect
Speaker 1: them and to to provide them with things that they needed,
Speaker 1: it's definitely a hero in my eyes. And you still
Speaker 1: says as close as possible, uh, with your foster's definitely definitely. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, daily daily conversations with all you know, they
Speaker 1: must be excited right now. Man, they're they're so excited
Speaker 1: for me to get back home. And it's gonna be
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great for them to come out and
Speaker 1: actually see me play for the first time. Yeah, they'll
Speaker 1: be able to come down and then they watch your
Speaker 1: playing on a pretty regular guy. That's gonna be pretty good.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, coming out and playing here. Uh, you
Speaker 1: look at this receiving corps. You look at those guys
Speaker 1: are in the room, Davante Parker, little Chili. It's cold
Speaker 1: in here and there. Uh. When you're looking at the receiver,
Speaker 1: Davante Parker, look at Kenny Stills. We don't take carew
Speaker 1: do you keep grant yourself in there now? Uh? Do
Speaker 1: you kind of like to make up of these guys?

Speaker 1: field with them, but you kind of, you know, you
Speaker 1: kind of know who your group. You know, you kind
Speaker 1: of know what these guys are about. Definitely speed, speed it.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like from this year, from
Speaker 1: last year to this year, speed is gonna be a
Speaker 1: big difference. And um, we're gonna make it count. They're
Speaker 1: definitely gonna see the difference in the speed and and
Speaker 1: we're gonna make people fear it. Sehn, Coach Jefferson, did
Speaker 1: you get a chance to sit down and talking for
Speaker 1: a while. He's a different You'll he'll he'll put on
Speaker 1: the paths out there every now and then and walk
Speaker 1: out in the field. Now you don't mind, you don't

Speaker 1: watchdog on Ryan Tannehill. Just go through our our three
Speaker 1: visions of seeing Ryan Tannehill go down. It was a
Speaker 1: meaningless play. It was the end of a play running
Speaker 1: out of bounds. So every step that the guy's gonna
Speaker 1: take is going to be analyzed. Not not so much scrutinized,
Speaker 1: but you want to visualize the guy being able to
Speaker 1: get through the beginning of practice to the end of practice. Hey,
Speaker 1: rinse and repeat, beginning of practice to the end of practice.
Speaker 1: Give him a day off, beginning of practice to the
Speaker 1: end of practice, get him out of certain drills. Just
Speaker 1: want to see how they massage it and manage it
Speaker 1: and how we're gonna go because you know O tas
Speaker 1: are still O t A s and you get checked
Speaker 1: up right, you're not if guys are running at a
Speaker 1: at a good pace. So they want to make sure.
Speaker 1: I think, if I'm the head coach, I'm managing my
Speaker 1: guy because I need him for September. I don't need
Speaker 1: him for June. These these O T A s and stuff.
Speaker 1: Now they take on a different personality with the amount
Speaker 1: of turnover and the team and all the new people,
Speaker 1: and you want to see what this guy does and
Speaker 1: how does this guy fit in, how does he compliment
Speaker 1: this guy or that guy. Then you're gonna have your
Speaker 1: draft choice is around later on or draft trick is
Speaker 1: gonna be around there where you want to see what
Speaker 1: they do and how they fit in. So it's gonna
Speaker 1: be interest. It's made him to me, it's made it
Speaker 1: more interesting with the change the amount of turnover that
Speaker 1: that quite frankly every team in the league now goes through.
Speaker 1: The other problem is to your learn new system. I
Speaker 1: can't keep learning a new system. So you come in.
Speaker 1: You got all these new guys, and as you guys said,
Speaker 1: the young guys got to come in and some of
Speaker 1: them are gonna be expected to play right away, so
Speaker 1: you want to catch those guys up quickly and uh
Speaker 1: and then that gets back to the whole draft thing
Speaker 1: and where you fit in with higher your draft pick.
Speaker 1: You know what, guys, I think it's an advantage for
Speaker 1: Ryan Taniel. This will be the third year in Adam
Speaker 1: Gates's system. Now. I know he didn't play last year,
Speaker 1: but he was involved in the meetings. He was involved
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, He was involved on the calls. Why
Speaker 1: things were called in certain ways, why things were done,
Speaker 1: Why for why this formation? Why I am looking here first?
Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna be able not only to
Speaker 1: help him play, but to help him translate to guys
Speaker 1: like Albert Wilson, to Danny am Mondola, to whoever replaced
Speaker 1: tight End, to a you know, uh Drake and a
Speaker 1: Gore you know why we're doing things. I think then
Speaker 1: that goes back to him taking charge and being able
Speaker 1: to dictate and and communicate with those guys to feel like, hey,
Speaker 1: you need something to come to me. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: as as a quarterback, John, you don't want those guys
Speaker 1: you don't you don't want uh Amndola or you don't
Speaker 1: want will come to me. I'll tell you. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what you need to do. I'll tell you where
Speaker 1: you need to line up and how want how I want. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's got to come from the quarterback. That that communication
Speaker 1: has to come from the quarterback eight for for for
Speaker 1: them to learners, for him to get gain their respect,
Speaker 1: right They got to understand that he knows this entire
Speaker 1: offense and knows what everybody's supposed to do. And if
Speaker 1: there's any question I can, I can. And you know what,
Speaker 1: if you're jerking around in the huddle, he's got to
Speaker 1: be the guy who says, hey, you know what, you know,
Speaker 1: jerk around when we're done. This is important right now.
Speaker 1: I think it's all those points are very critical and
Speaker 1: very Wharton and the growth of a guy, but to
Speaker 1: grow the development of that culture that I'm the guy
Speaker 1: and that it's it's my team and the way we're
Speaker 1: going is through me, and I think that, And that's
Speaker 1: not to be braggadocious. That's just the way it is.
Speaker 1: Successful teams, all successful quarterbacks, those guys that are at
Speaker 1: another level do it that way, and you get the
Speaker 1: buying from the guys and you do it the right way.
Speaker 1: Those guys do anything for you. I think those guys
Speaker 1: all know the Ryan Tannehills, the quarters. I mean, you're
Speaker 1: coming here and you don't know that, then you're you're
Speaker 1: you're missing. So that takes us to the draft coming up.
Speaker 1: And for me, it's always kind of been it's the
Speaker 1: Big four for me, although that although the offensive guards
Speaker 1: kind of fallen to me. To me, offensive guard was
Speaker 1: a you know what was was one or two on
Speaker 1: the list as far as I was concerned. It's kind
Speaker 1: of falling off the off the map a little bit
Speaker 1: with the additions and the offensive line is sitting and
Speaker 1: those guys and and what they're doing. But uh, to me,
Speaker 1: it's still quarterback, outside linebacker and and tied in somehow
Speaker 1: in the first four rounds. Those have to be addressed.
Speaker 1: And to me, I say in the first four rounds,
Speaker 1: because they've got to be players that have the legit,
Speaker 1: a legit, a legitimate opportunity to come in here and
Speaker 1: make an impact, whether it's starting playing a lot or
Speaker 1: in the quarterbacks in a quarterback position. Someone it's gonna
Speaker 1: push Ryan and let him know that, hey, there's not
Speaker 1: some it's not a schlept behind me. This is a
Speaker 1: guy that that wants a job, that's hungry, and it's
Speaker 1: got some pretty damn good skills. There's a lot of people,
Speaker 1: a lot of mock drafts that still believe the Dolphins
Speaker 1: are gonna jump up and try to make a run
Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield because the way Adam Gaze feels about
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Well, I'll tell you what he comes in here.
Speaker 1: That changes a lot of things. Probably gonna have to
Speaker 1: give up other draft picks with and to move up
Speaker 1: to get Baker where they are. But if they don't
Speaker 1: bow and they stay at eleven, where they are right now,
Speaker 1: by biggest need on this team right now, outside linebacker
Speaker 1: and tight end for me, the those are the two positions.
Speaker 1: I get you still, I'm with you. It started getting
Speaker 1: a young quarterback in there to back up and getting
Speaker 1: ready to go as quickly as possible. But outside linebacker
Speaker 1: and tight end, to me, just jump out. There's no doubt.
Speaker 1: There is no doubt that you have to be able
Speaker 1: to if available, and you Dolphins stay at number eleven,
Speaker 1: they have to get a linebacker because I think there's
Speaker 1: a couple of impactful guys at the top of the
Speaker 1: list that are gonna not only start on this football team,
Speaker 1: but add uh plays that that that strip footballs, that
Speaker 1: get their hands on footballs and coverage that that they
Speaker 1: can do all those things. And and I just think
Speaker 1: that you know, we're talking about New England and having
Speaker 1: two first round picks now and Buffalo behind us and
Speaker 1: twelve that that has a lot of ammunition to get
Speaker 1: to where they need to go. To guys at the
Speaker 1: top of the list. I just think absolutely, I think
Speaker 1: those four quarterbacks are gonna be off, and to be
Speaker 1: quite honest with you, they probably should be. If those
Speaker 1: teams are doing their jobs, they're gonna be off the board.
Speaker 1: Especially with Buffalo creep be in there from twelve kind
Speaker 1: of getting up there. I think that's gonna happen. I
Speaker 1: think the Dolphins are gonna be not stuck, but I
Speaker 1: think they're going to be staying put at eleven. They're
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance to get an impactful player either
Speaker 1: defensive tackle at linebacker. I think it's too high for
Speaker 1: a tight end, but they will get. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any to me. I would like them to be
Speaker 1: a tight end up there that's good enough to be
Speaker 1: that guy at that position. But I'm with you, John,
Speaker 1: second round to me seems to be where the fruit
Speaker 1: is on that tight entry picking those off there um
Speaker 1: And I think that I agree with you also that
Speaker 1: I think those quarterbacks unless look, things are gonna change.
Speaker 1: Unless things change and some guys, some teams decide they
Speaker 1: want some you know, one other player. It only takes one.
Speaker 1: Only takes one guy one team to take a take
Speaker 1: the different pick than everyone thought to reshuffle the whole.
Speaker 1: When I look at the list and I look at
Speaker 1: the draft order, with Cleveland having the number one and
Speaker 1: number four, the Giants are in it too. The Jets
Speaker 1: are in at three. Put a big circle around number
Speaker 1: five in the Denver Broncos because John Elway likes to
Speaker 1: play cards and he thinks he's really good at it,
Speaker 1: and I agree with him. He that could be the
Speaker 1: deal breaker with Buffalo coming out of the five spot
Speaker 1: and Buffalo moving in him grabbing a couple other picks,
Speaker 1: moving down to twelve and getting whatever, you still get
Speaker 1: a really good player. I think the Giants are really
Speaker 1: interesting there. Half the New York wants them to get
Speaker 1: a quarterback, going, Eli hasn't shown it. You can blame
Speaker 1: the system or whatever. He's not the same guy was,
Speaker 1: And the other half going, no, we've got too many
Speaker 1: other needs on this d Mel's just fine. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be a real interesting one. That could set everybody up
Speaker 1: because they can move out of that pick. The canet
Speaker 1: a lot of positions and get a lot for it.
Speaker 1: But kind of going back to what you were saying, John,
Speaker 1: I think you get through those. I think those quarterbacks
Speaker 1: are gonna be gone. But I think the Dolphins are
Speaker 1: gonna be in a situation. And let's not forget we
Speaker 1: got Raekwon McMillan coming back, you know, and we didn't
Speaker 1: see very much of him last year, and I think
Speaker 1: the consensus going into last season before he got started,
Speaker 1: he was gonna be your starter there starting day one. Now,
Speaker 1: start with day one. Now, so you've got that that
Speaker 1: big insideline packer, and you're gonna have at least two
Speaker 1: of those really good linebackers. Those two, the Georgia kid kid,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be sitting there waiting for you. And you
Speaker 1: talked about the defensive tackle, the kid Vita v Washington
Speaker 1: from Washington. There's a good chance he may be there
Speaker 1: there and after you let go and Donmincken sus So,
Speaker 1: I think from a defensive stand certainly from an outside
Speaker 1: I think I think in the I think the worst
Speaker 1: case scenar are the best case scenario. I don't know,
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario for the Dolphins may turn out
Speaker 1: the best in getting one of these linebackers and linebacker
Speaker 1: and just stay put where you're at and grabbing one
Speaker 1: of those guys. That really kind of solidifies that front
Speaker 1: seven because you've got all those defensive you got all
Speaker 1: those defensive ends now that you've stockpiled, and you know,
Speaker 1: you've got those linebackers. If you can put um the
Speaker 1: three of the you know, Ray Kuan, Kiko and whatever
Speaker 1: outside line. But whichever one of those guys that you get,
Speaker 1: Ray Kwan Smith, whoever, the guy, whoever the guy that
Speaker 1: falls to him, I think you're pretty good position. Then boys,
Speaker 1: you just you gotta get outside lineback and make some plays. Though.
Speaker 1: I just felt just too many offenses that too much
Speaker 1: success on the outside. And we're a lot of rooms
Speaker 1: coverage room, man, they've gotta you know that that that
Speaker 1: that linebacker that they get has to be a guy
Speaker 1: that can help tighten up every coverage package, that that
Speaker 1: that we've got out there. That that that that I
Speaker 1: don't care if you're in a zone, I don't care
Speaker 1: if you're if you're playing bumping, run man and man,
Speaker 1: whatever whatever you're playing, it's got to tighten up from
Speaker 1: where I mean, they're just we saw too many people
Speaker 1: running across field you know, with with with guys no
Speaker 1: not not within two or three yards of them catching footballs,
Speaker 1: and you can't. You're just not gonna win that way.
Speaker 1: I got a question for you guys, and I just
Speaker 1: wanted to get your opinion on it because it just
Speaker 1: popped into my head. We're talking about quarterbacks and thinking
Speaker 1: that the top four guys are probably going to be
Speaker 1: off the board. There's a good chance, maybe chance. So
Speaker 1: the Dolphins don't have a quarterback that who's at eleven.
Speaker 1: We take the linebacker, we take the defensive tackle, we
Speaker 1: take Mica Fitzpatrick if he happens to be still there,
Speaker 1: and you have a great player, right, where do the
Speaker 1: Dolphins go? And what is your opinion on Lamar Jackson?
Speaker 1: Because every that's been kind of like the talk of
Speaker 1: but this kid's not gonna get drafted in the first field.
Speaker 1: Some people have them creeping back in because he's an athlete,
Speaker 1: but some people say he doesn't throw it well enough.
Speaker 1: Have you guys seen enough of him and his obviously
Speaker 1: you've seen him in his Heisman days at Louisville, but
Speaker 1: I mean off the field now and the pro days
Speaker 1: and his mom's his agent, and you know, is he
Speaker 1: coming to the Dolphins in South Florida for the workout,
Speaker 1: all that stuff that's been going around. An interesting guy, man,
Speaker 1: because everybody's talking about him. First of all, I'm with him.
Speaker 1: As far as people going, hey, want to see a
Speaker 1: receiver too, I think that's bullshit. He's a he's a
Speaker 1: quarterback and he's got a strong arm. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna work hard at it as far as picking stuff
Speaker 1: up and as I don't know about that stuff, teams
Speaker 1: have to do their homework on that. But and the
Speaker 1: way he throws it, he's got a cannon fit on
Speaker 1: I mean touch, he can touch it. He worked on
Speaker 1: he got a lot better at it last year, and
Speaker 1: everybody knows he can run, you know. But I think
Speaker 1: the thing with him is, you know, you look at
Speaker 1: I was talking to someone the other day, I said,
Speaker 1: you know, quite frankly, if I'm a football team and
Speaker 1: I draft uh Lamar Jackson has my quarterback, you know
Speaker 1: the next guy I mna signed, I might sign Colin Kaepernick,
Speaker 1: because now you've got two quarterbacks that do the same thing.
Speaker 1: Because if you don't want to go back in that tea,
Speaker 1: let's just just a situation where one guy does one
Speaker 1: thing well that and that's it. Let's say let's say
Speaker 1: you're the Dolphins and you come around and you're in
Speaker 1: the second pick, you got your second round pick, and
Speaker 1: he's there and you're looking to mar Jack. Okay, jeez,
Speaker 1: he does this and that, but jeez, how does how
Speaker 1: do we work our offense if we got Ryan and
Speaker 1: and something happens with Ryan? Now he comes in and
Speaker 1: and he he doesn't fit you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: He's that's the only the only concern I have with
Speaker 1: him is he's a little bit of a square peg.
Speaker 1: That that that that most teams will be around whole
Speaker 1: to fit him in. With the majority of football teams
Speaker 1: out here. You know, it's funny he won't run a forty.
Speaker 1: He is not run the forty. I know he's fast,
Speaker 1: but it's almost like he doesn't want to hear about
Speaker 1: him in a race. You want me to throw, I'll
Speaker 1: throw every day for you. But anything that says running
Speaker 1: slash athletes slash receiver, I think that's not I think
Speaker 1: that's a good decision for him because his answer is
Speaker 1: just watch the tape. Who's who's catching me? Right, Who's
Speaker 1: who putting a hand on you? Nobody's asking questions about
Speaker 1: his ability to run. Right, they're asking questions about his
Speaker 1: ability to throw the football and is he accurate enough? Yeah,
Speaker 1: those are the questions. I think that's hanging around his
Speaker 1: neck right now. Accuracy, Are you accurate enough? And well
Speaker 1: he's going early in this draft, he's gonna be in
Speaker 1: the same Yeah, I can't imagine him getting out of
Speaker 1: I'm with you, somebody, he's you know, he's just too
Speaker 1: good of an athlete, too tempting. And look, it may
Speaker 1: maybe in the back of the team's head. Hey, if
Speaker 1: his quarterback thing doesn't work out for him, he's a
Speaker 1: pretty damn good athlete, and you know, something else and
Speaker 1: do something else moves down, so so you never know.
Speaker 1: But that's yeah, he's he's gonna be one of one
Speaker 1: of one of the interesting guys out here. But look,
Speaker 1: it's funny. But the draft right now, there's been a
Speaker 1: lot of moves already draft wise, and and I think
Speaker 1: before before that first pick is called, um, I think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some more moving in there. And you
Speaker 1: talk about the Jets, the Bills putting themselves in a position,
Speaker 1: Giants were down to England with a couple of picks.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of there's still a lot
Speaker 1: of things gonna go on in this draft before before
Speaker 1: that day comes. There's some teams right now, as we
Speaker 1: mentioned Arizona Buffalo screaming, man, get me to move up
Speaker 1: and get a quarterback. We cannot play with the old
Speaker 1: vets that we have. Can't play Who's who in your draft?
Speaker 1: In your career here with the Dolphins of draft choices
Speaker 1: of rookies coming in, who was the craziest, who was
Speaker 1: like the most lunatic guy that came in during your career,
Speaker 1: craziest ut out there? Well, we had a bunch otherwhere
Speaker 1: you going back with our group, we had a bunch
Speaker 1: of I had I hate doing this because one of
Speaker 1: the guys it was my roommate. He's a weird dude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't mean, I've told you guys stories.
Speaker 1: I don't want to start telling about nothing. Nothing. But
Speaker 1: the guy took us to a super Bowl, you know,
Speaker 1: so you can say what you want to say about him.
Speaker 1: He had some skill, but he was he was a
Speaker 1: different guy. There's no question about he was a little different.
Speaker 1: Like I thought it was a little different coming out
Speaker 1: of Berkeley. He was really weird. I'm sure you had
Speaker 1: some some unique guys coming through the well in the CFL. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you had guys coming from everywhere, and that was the basket.
Speaker 1: Oh man. It was funny because you were either an import,
Speaker 1: which meant you were American, right or you were Canadian.
Speaker 1: And I always used to tell our offensive lineman that
Speaker 1: you guys were the were the ones that couldn't skate backwards.
Speaker 1: Now I hope you know you're as protection is better
Speaker 1: than your defense was on the ice, and they go, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: well you're an import, you know, because you could only
Speaker 1: have I think at that time maybe eighteen Americans on
Speaker 1: a team of maybe only thirty eight on the roster.
Speaker 1: So the majority of it, you know, was were Canadian guys.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there were guys, you know, stories of guys coming. Know,
Speaker 1: this guy was arrested, but now he's gonna put up
Speaker 1: in play Saturday night. There's guys coming from Yeah, you
Speaker 1: go pick him up, get him, get him unchained, and
Speaker 1: bring him back to the stadium. Yeah, slap a pair
Speaker 1: of shoulder fans. But there was some There were some knuckleheads.
Speaker 1: I always telling you the story before about um, we
Speaker 1: had a guy, Daryl Smith. He went to a small
Speaker 1: College in Ohio. He's from Youngstown, the same town I
Speaker 1: was born in Ohio. And he was a great slot
Speaker 1: receiver and legendary receiver, and you could throw it anywhere
Speaker 1: around him. You knew he was gonna come down with
Speaker 1: it because you you bet on him, you know, you
Speaker 1: just bet on him making a play or the other
Speaker 1: guy wasn't gonna get it. But he always had this
Speaker 1: propensity of flash. You know, he's the typical diva receiver
Speaker 1: that you know, if there was a mink coat that
Speaker 1: only went you know, the high, he was gonna get
Speaker 1: one and one ankle ankle deep. He was gonna have
Speaker 1: the full regali hat and everything, right, yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: big time. So so one day practice, you know, we
Speaker 1: were teasing going to camp. We were practicing Wealth University,
Speaker 1: and we're teasing him about, you know, hey, would you
Speaker 1: buy this soft season? Would you get? Oh? You guys
Speaker 1: didn't see it. I got the biggest, baddest white Mercedes.
Speaker 1: Ben's the biggest one you could buy it. That's the
Speaker 1: one I got. I said, Man, I don't I didn't
Speaker 1: see where'd you park it? And we're all during stretch,
Speaker 1: we're all talking. Everybody's bullshitt and stretching, and uh, it's
Speaker 1: where'd you park it? We just call him steping Steine.
Speaker 1: Where'd you park it? Man? He was, Oh, it's right
Speaker 1: by the reds, it's right up there on the h
Speaker 1: I parked right on the grass, right on the reds,
Speaker 1: right in front of the dorm. I said, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's there anymore, bro, because there's a white man's
Speaker 1: on a tow truck and turning around. He said, so
Speaker 1: wait a minute. He started running off to practice. That's oh,
Speaker 1: it was hilarious. But he would do stuff like that,
Speaker 1: just off the wall. And that's where we had a guy.
Speaker 1: You may have been here. We had a guy. His
Speaker 1: name was Sylvester. I figured what his last name was.
Speaker 1: Stroke used to call him Itchy. He's always scratching all
Speaker 1: the times you called itchy was the name. So Itchy
Speaker 1: was having a hard time. He was having a hard
Speaker 1: time keeping up, you know, and you know, running, learning
Speaker 1: routes and all this stuff. And and I was walking
Speaker 1: off the field one day and I'm right behind Stroke,
Speaker 1: you know, and here comes Inch you run up a
Speaker 1: Stroke and Stroke, Man, you gotta help me out. I'm
Speaker 1: struggling out there, man, I don't think I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: this team. And Stroke looks at him like he like
Speaker 1: Stroke does kind of you know, takes his time looks
Speaker 1: and Lewis's itchy. First of all, you gotta be smarter
Speaker 1: than the football. But I came with a guy. I
Speaker 1: came in with a guy. When I came in, there
Speaker 1: were seven there's seventeen rounds when you got drafted. So
Speaker 1: we had seventeen rounds when I got drafted. We had
Speaker 1: a kid drafted to I think he was in the
Speaker 1: sixteenth or seventeenth round. His name was Don Testerman, out
Speaker 1: of Tennessee or somewhere like that, fullback and he was
Speaker 1: a country, a country boys, his country as could be.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking through the media guide one day, you know,
Speaker 1: just looking, and so I'm looking at the bios. I
Speaker 1: see Don Testaman. You know, he he goes his brother
Speaker 1: when he was when he was like in six games,
Speaker 1: his brother hit him, hit him over the head with
Speaker 1: an axe, with a sharp end of the axe. Right.
Speaker 1: So I go to the locker room, I said Don,
Speaker 1: I said Don, So I was reading the singer said
Speaker 1: your brother hit you a hand with Actually, yeah, damn
Speaker 1: hit me right right here. Man riding the crown of
Speaker 1: the hand with an axe. I said, he hit you
Speaker 1: with the flat angles. Oh no, he hit the sharp end.
Speaker 1: He said, he hit a drove it right in my head,
Speaker 1: walked away and the handle handle was still handed. Comes
Speaker 1: let out and always every and he was a tough fullback.
Speaker 1: And I'm on your head, splitting split, splitting half by
Speaker 1: an ax. I see you're still friends with your brother.
Speaker 1: He's still my best friend. You know. Hopefully we don't
Speaker 1: draft anybody. I hope we we don't draft anybody crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, comes in with an act in their head
Speaker 1: and like that. But it's always interesting. You never know,
Speaker 1: you really never know what characters. I mean, guys coming
Speaker 1: from all over the country, all different economics backgrounds, all
