<v Speaker 2>From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 3>This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield.

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>He's got my havans in the playoffs. What is up Dolphins?

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 2>And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. I am your host,

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, the worst day of

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 2>the football calendar is in the rearview mirror and we

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 2>now can start taking a look at the roster, the

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>fifty three pieces and the assets we have going into

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>week one, which officially kicks off in just eight days eleven.

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 2>For us as Dolphins fans, we're gonna look at each

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 2>group and mention the calling card and the question of

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 2>those units, and we're gonna have us solve for most

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 2>of the questions there. And we'll also hear a bunch

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 2>of sound from GM Chris Career, round out the practice

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>squad so far and gets you updated on the latest

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>news around the Dolphins roster. From the Baptist Health Studios

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 2>inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:10.839
<v Speaker 3>This is.

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 2>The Draft Time Podcast. NFL rosters are far from being finalized,

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>and we actually saw a trade. Was it twenty four

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>hours ago? When it was announced that the Rams sent

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Ernest Jones to the Titans for essentially a bag of chips.

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna get claims, trades, practice squads. We'll start to

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 2>take shape here over the next you know, twenty four

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.479
<v Speaker 2>hours to even a week from now. I think it's

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the best thing about the NFL going from four preseason

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 2>games down to three because it gives teams a little

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 2>bit of extra time to kind of let things breathe

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 2>and find out where they are before the actual install

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>of game planning goes into that Week one, you know,

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.919
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville game. And speaking of that, we have a waiver

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>wire claim as the Dolphins put a claim in and

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>were awarded receiver Grant Dubos from the Green Bay Packers.

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and here from Dolphins GM Chris Career

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 2>on the traits that attracted them to do bos.

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>He's got size, he's tough, really good route runner, he's

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>got good hands, and it was the physical how physically

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 1>is in his play. Obviously, you know, Mike knows a

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of people up there in Green Bay with the

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>relationship as well as I do, and they're all very

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>high on them. And I said it was a very

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>hard decision for them to move on from him. So

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>it's an opportunity that we're excited for just working for

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 1>where we are right now.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 2>When you watch his tape, whether it was in college

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>or well, I guess only in college or preseason AX

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>with the Packers, it's pretty clear what he offers here.

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I think that he's a kind of a souped up

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>version of Eric Azookama, or maybe a player that has

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>those traits and can potentially maybe pick things up a

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 2>little bit quicker. Since he has two years in a

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 2>similar offense, he'll have to learn some new verbiage and

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>things of that nature. But playing under Matt Lafleur for

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>two training camps in a full season should really help

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 2>him kind of catch on quickly. But the special team's

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.239
<v Speaker 2>work jumps off the page. I don't think that Azukama

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>offered that as much, and his blocking is something that

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>really stands out about his game as a guy that

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 2>can be one of those players that comes in in

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 2>those red zone situations after Reek and Waddle have given

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>you forty yards on the drive combined, and you go

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>to the running game down in the high red zone.

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>He's one of those guys kind of like a River

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Craycraft that you can count on as a key blocker

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>down in those spots, and I think he can beat

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.360
<v Speaker 2>one on one coverage, which is what you get when

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 2>you're the number four to five receiver in this offense,

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>right You're not going to see double teams ever, when

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 2>you have ten or seventeen. So I thought that was

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>a very nice addition to a room that needed a body.

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>And we're going to go over the practice squad we

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 2>have so far, which does include Erica Azukama, but Dubo's

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I can see the real fit here. Pretty excited about

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 2>this player. And something else Chris Career mentioned was the

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 2>feedback they got from the Packers' coaching staff, which as

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, is very tight with Mike McDaniel, give him

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Matt Lafleur's time on staff with McDaniel back in Washington.

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>So I followed up on my Debo's questions, saying, how

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>common is that to get feedback from a team on

0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 2>a guy they just cut, And Chris Greer said, not

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 2>the film the player in terms of what he is

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 2>as a football player, but you're looking for stuff that

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>you can get back from him or back from the

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 2>team on the person that you're getting.

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean you're always reaching out to different people,

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, because you just want to make sure that

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>they don't have to tell you what kind of player

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you're getting. It's just the person, really, because when you're

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>adding someone into a building, you just want to be

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>careful who you're adding into it. So yeah, so you

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>always talk to people and because I mean, obviously if

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>they let him go, you'll try and find out why

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>here and there, But you watch the film at the

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>end of the day. That makes the ultimate decision whether

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you can put a claim on someone.

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 2>And there's more roster news that I know that everybody

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 2>is going to take in total stride. I'm not going

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>to do my whole offensive line spield again. You guys

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 2>know how I feel about that. And Chris Grewer has

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 2>certainly affirmed that for me here in the building, and

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 2>that's not shouldn't be a surprise to you all where

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I see these things and hear these things from and

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 2>evaluate them in the same vein as the team. And

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 2>I actually did think that Jack Driscoll had a good summer,

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.479
<v Speaker 2>but he is the one it goes by the boards

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 2>and the corresponding move with the Deboe's acquisition, and that

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>was how Chris Greer opened his press conferences. They asked

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 2>about the offensive line, and he said something you've heard

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 2>plenty of times before and made fun of.

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.919
<v Speaker 1>Before with the offensive line. How every year that's you know,

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys are like, oh or not good enough, not

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>good enough, but then offensively we're a pretty good offensive

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the last two years, and a number of you guys

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.359
<v Speaker 1>have talked about how the guys have improved. You know,

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>those guys in the offensive line have worked their tails off.

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>We feel confident in them. The coaching staff believes in them,

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 1>and Butch and Mike and Frank have done a great

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>job in lim and helping those guys develop and work.

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>And so I think the important thing is they they

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>all work together. It's a really cohesive unit and just

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>watching them work together is great. Every day they hang

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 1>out together, so it's a very close knit unit. That said, yeah,

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll have someone in the practice squad like we always do,

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and just for your information, we released Jack Driscoll recently

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>because he claimed Grant Dubo's wide receiver and so that

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 1>was the roster move for him. Jack's a good kid,

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.359
<v Speaker 1>worked his tail off is just unfortunately a numbers crunch

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>for us, but we're confident in the offensive line, so yeah,

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just one of those it's you know,

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Mike and I just we always kind of chuckle, you know.

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I know you guys made a joke about me saying

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>that more you guys are more worried about it than

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 1>we are. But internally that's how we feel about our

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 1>group here as a as a team.

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 2>And I'm I just love that he mentioned, like we

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 2>get where people get on us for this stuff, and

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 2>then we go out and we finished, you know, top

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 2>top five an offense. That's I don't think it requires

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.240
<v Speaker 2>more than that, but I know social media disagrees with that.

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna move on though, because it's it's at this point,

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 2>it's it's like arguing politics. What's the point of it.

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 2>You guys, you have your thought, I have my thought.

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 2>We're not going to agree or move off of it.

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 3>So let's move on.

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 2>We know about seven practice squad guys as of this taping.

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Eric Aszookamma. I mentioned him earlier. Good to see him

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 2>back out there on the practice field. Tim Boyle is

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback they added, and I don't get it. I'll

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>just go ahead and leave it at that. Don't get

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>that one. Nick Needham is back and I had a

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 2>chance to see Nick in the cafeteria today. Great to

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>see him around and he is hungry to get an

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to get back on the field. Nakwan Jones is

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.239
<v Speaker 2>a defensive tackle the Dolphins acquired from the Arizona Cardinals.

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 2>In fact, let's go ahead and run some audio on him,

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 2>as Chris Greer spoke about his game. A guy that

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 2>is a pretty good fit here, I think for the

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins defensive line.

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Nakwan Jones came over from Arizona. He's a big, big

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 1>body nose tackle and as you kind of seeing with

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Weavers defense, it's a little different type of detackles now

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that we're looking for. But very excited coaches, Coach Weaver,

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Austin Clark, everyone very excited. Our video guys that had

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>to stay here at night and get the video going

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>for him. We're very excited to do that at ten

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 1>o'clock last night.

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>They also were able to get back Jonathan Harris, which

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I thought was very important for the depth of this

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 2>defensive line. Kind of got a little bit worried there

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 2>after seeing Gallimore, Tierra Tart, and Jonathan Harris all go

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 2>by the boards. I thought those guys would all be

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 2>contributing players this year. I thought Harris had some good

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 2>tape in the system and is a fit here. So

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 2>to see him back on the practice squad as a

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>guy that I'm sure will get playing time this year

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 2>was nice to see. And then nak Onan Jones, I

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 2>mean we talked about it there with Chris Gream. I

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>think he's he's got some ability to play in this

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 2>defense on that nose tackle position, which could also serve

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 2>as a guy that maybe fills in if Benito Jones

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 2>is not ready to go in Week one. Hayden Rucie

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.200
<v Speaker 2>also back. That shouldn't be a surprise. I think he

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 2>has a future on the football team. Jordan Colbert had

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 2>a nice camp as well, kind of a special team's

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 2>ace on that back end, and maybe some deep deep

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.079
<v Speaker 2>safety help. And then there's a reporter out there that's

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.559
<v Speaker 2>not official yet, but Dwayne Eskridge, now granted hasn't done

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 2>anything as a pro, but you go back to his

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Colorado tape, he again kind of has that Azuokama type

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 2>of game where he is big, he's physical, he's a

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 2>jet sweep guy, he's a run blocking guy. I loved

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 2>his game at Colorado, didn't work out in Seattle. Has

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.839
<v Speaker 2>not been a good pro so far, but he reportedly

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll join the Dolphins practice squad. So you get two

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 2>receivers there actually three with the bows going to the

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:06.719
<v Speaker 2>active roster. You fill in two of the spots on

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>the defensive line, you get need them back, you get

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Roochie in here. So pretty good looking practice squad so far,

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.439
<v Speaker 2>and we'll have more for you guys on that as

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.559
<v Speaker 2>it rounds out. So we have I guess an idea

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 2>of I don't know what you'd call it, ninety five

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 2>percent of what the ross was going to look like.

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's a good time to go through

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 2>it all and play a fun game that I'm going

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 2>to call the calling card and the question what is

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 2>the calling card of each of these rooms for your

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Miami Dolphins. And we're going to go ahead and start

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 2>where we always start at the quarterback position. It's the timing,

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 2>the anticipation and the accuracy of tu a tongua bai loa.

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Those are sort of built in functions of the offense

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>when you've got Tu at the controls. And I think

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 2>that's also the thinking with Skyler Thompson as he heads

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 2>into his third season here coming from an offense in

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 2>college that was, you know, five or six terms on

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 2>an armband or even a poster board on the sideline

0:09:55.800 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 2>with cutouts of SpongeBob, SquarePants, Creamsickles, Mountain Dew and Scott Vampell, Like,

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 2>that's your play call right now, you have twenty five

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>word play calls that are a little bit tougher to

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.559
<v Speaker 2>communicate than your six play wrist band calls. And then

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 2>with Tua, you know, I retweeted that Manti Teo video

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 2>from Good Morning Football where he talked about throwing to

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 2>spots before the receiver has indicated what the route might be.

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.719
<v Speaker 2>And that's just a description of elite anticipation. And that's

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 2>why Tua is able to manipulate defenses as well as

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 2>he does. But it also reduces the time you need

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 2>to hold a block in pass pro and in today's

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 2>NFL with all these dynamic pass rushers, gosh, that is

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.839
<v Speaker 2>so so valuable. And then in his third year, you

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 2>see the confidence in the huddle at the podium kind

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 2>of has you know, fu money if you will at

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>this point and when pressure is in his face, you know,

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 2>in a brief preseason stint, I think he's showed you

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 2>that confidence in his you know, he's on his way

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 2>to that field general category that Manti Teo talked about.

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 2>And I just came off the practice field and watched

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 2>him do this drill where he threw like attacking the

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 2>lion of scrimmage, but on the move to his right

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 2>and then flipping the hips open. There's just a different

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 2>level of juice and escapability to his game this year

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>that I think is going to go a long, long way.

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 2>These are all reasons that I just mentioned that you

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 2>opened the checkbook for your quarterback and commit to him

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 2>as your franchise guy with two hundred million big ones.

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 2>The question here is winning the big game, right. It

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 2>just takes one to undo a narrative. I just watched

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the two thousand and four highlight of the season opening

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 2>game between the Patriots and the Colts and Mike vander

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Jack misses a field goal to open the game and

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>they lose in that season opener, And it was supposed

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 2>to be like, oh, that the Colts might finally beat

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots, but they didn't, and Peyton Manning was like

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 2>zero to five at that point against the Patriots, including

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 2>playoff games, and they would go on to lose to

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 2>him again in the playoffs that year, and then finally

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.439
<v Speaker 2>two years later they got the breakthrough beating that Patriots team,

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>and that kind of shifted the narrative around Peate Manning's career,

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 2>who at Tennessee didn't win the Big One and to

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 2>that point in Annapolis had not won the Big One.

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.319
<v Speaker 2>I think for Tua, he played well in the Philly

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 2>game last year. I think he played well in the

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Dallas game, and then in spurts against Buffalo and Baltimore

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>the first Buffalo game when they were able to you know,

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 2>match touchdowns with the Ravens and Bills throughout the first

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 2>like quarter and a half of that game, two quarters

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>of that game. But I just want to see that

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 2>breakthrough performance like you guys all do as well, and

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 2>I love that we'll have plenty of chances to do

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.840
<v Speaker 2>it down the stretch. I think, you know, who knows,

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.719
<v Speaker 2>if the Jets stink again, which they usually do, then

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 2>that gauntlet is suddenly reduced in toughness by like forty percent.

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think the Browns quarterback can play football

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 2>anymore because karma seems to have caught up to him.

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 2>And so if those those three teams stink, then half

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 2>of those six games to end the season aren't supposed

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 2>to be that tough. So we'll see what happens. I

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 2>think the solve here for this position, for the concern

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>is that I think they showed you that more options

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 2>to force the defense to not be able to match

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 2>up on a slot receiver or tight end who cannot

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 2>get open against their fourth or fifth guy is a

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>key aspect. And then also just execute, don't drop passes,

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 2>don't make poor decisions, don't have bad operation in the

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 2>KC game. In fact, Chris Greer touched on this. I

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>want to go ahead and end this segment with this

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 2>commentary from Chris Greer when he was asked, what do

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 2>you think you guys have to do to improve your

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 2>one and six mark last year against playoff teams?

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.960
<v Speaker 1>No, it's always something when you go through and and

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>and try and figure out the whys after the season

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 1>when you do it, and for us working through you know,

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 1>some of the stuff offensively, like there were some of

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.080
<v Speaker 1>those games, you know, like just Top of ed Philly

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>where we you know, we had a drop touchdown pass

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>at one point, you know, a borderline, you know, pass

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 1>interference call on one. So we're like that one in

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the Kansas City and Germany. You know, we had a

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 1>couple of miscues at the end where we didn't you know,

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>function the way we should and so at the end

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 1>of the day, looking through it, and it's just talking

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>looking through situations, really spending time on you know, talking

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to our players, going through situations football basically and what

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 1>it is. And that's just my opinion. But also I

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>think we have the players to win, very confident in them.

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>So for us, it's just finding that way to get

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 1>over the humplet like you said, and it's we feel

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>confident in what we're doing and Mike and the staff

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 1>have done a great job and the scouts and working

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>through it. So I'm very excited to see what happens

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>this year.

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Busy, Busy.

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 2>First segment, there lots of soundbites from Chris career. We'll

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and take our first break, come back and

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 2>do the rest of the offensive positions and finish up

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 2>on the thirds. I've been talking about the Dolphins defensive

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 2>calling cards and questions all of that. Next Draft Time podcast,

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 2>your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by AutoNation. Running

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Backs up next in our roster review post fifty three

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 2>man cut down Day, and for running backs, the calling

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 2>card is the speed and I have been spending a

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 2>lot of time going back over some of the origins

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 2>of this offensive system and kind of parsing out what

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 2>the key elements are. And the cool part about this

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 2>coaching tree is how everyone puts their own flavor on things,

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>and nobody has really incorporated unadulterated speed in the way

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 2>that Mike McDaniel has and the way that we can

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 2>threaten the edge, which coincides with having freaky, freaky athletic

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 2>tackles that are a big priority, and it forces teams

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 2>to make a choice. I better get out there and

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 2>get my wits, because if I don't, then we're gonna

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 2>have ISO blocks with Julian Hill or you know, Tron

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Armstead or Patrick paul On one hundred and ninety pound

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 2>cornerbacks who just have no shot in those like all

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 2>they can do is hope to bring down the offensive

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 2>tackle and prevent him from getting a second body, like

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 2>that's the only thing they can hope to do in

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 2>those spots, and then it's Raheem Moster or Devon h

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Chan one on one against the safety to decide if

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 2>it's a twelve yard gain or if it's time to

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 2>call out Jason Sanders for the extra point operation and

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 2>the way that neutralizes the pass rush. The ability to

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 2>mug up in the a gaps or even drop a

0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 2>safety into the box, that is the calling card, and

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 2>quite frankly, it's why I get in these these tiffles

0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter, and I keep seeing people talk about it

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 2>even today. Everyone's mad online right now. Like, if you

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 2>want to feel better about it, and there's no way

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 2>to say it, say this without sounding like an absolute elitist.

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to come off that way. I hope

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't. But if you want to feel better about it,

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 2>like study the offense, learn the origins of it, learn

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 2>about the fixtures that make it go. Because when you

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 2>understand that, it's easy to see why they finish so

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 2>good every year the last two years. Okay, but that's

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 2>not all they feature. Because Raheem is one of the

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 2>most underrated physical runners and all the football. I think

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Devona is going to see his receiving numbers go crazy

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 2>this year. And in fact, on Friday show, we're going

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>to have the great Scott Barrett from Fantasy Points come

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 2>on the podcast and talk about Devon as a fantasy

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 2>player and why he's so bullish on him. And then

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I think Jalen Wright gives you this very nice wrinkle

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 2>with his inside decisiveness to incorporate some inside zone change

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 2>ups or maybe even some man some power scheme running downhill.

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 2>So maybe the calling card is three backs who can

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of do it all, but also the speed and

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 2>how it dictates everything else, everything else in this offense

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 2>with all the overplay that it creates. A last note

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 2>before the question here, I think that you're about to

0:16:55.440 --> 0:17:00.160
<v Speaker 2>see this Dolphins backfield produce its best receiving season. It's

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Terry Kirby in nineteen ninety three, nineteen to eighty four.

0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.440
<v Speaker 2>The question for the group here, I think if the

0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.680
<v Speaker 2>question is if we lose two guys to injury or

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 2>the full bat goes down, then you really don't have

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>a question. I think it's one of the most stable rooms,

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.400
<v Speaker 2>not just on the team, but in the entire league.

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 2>And since I don't really have a question, that means

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I also don't have a solve wide receivers they're calling

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 2>card to me is their nuanced detail. I know, I know, Travis,

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 2>it's a track team out there, four to two speed.

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, We've seen a lot of guys

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 2>run very fast and produce very little in this league.

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 2>John Ross, jakeem Grant was really was very very fast.

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.640
<v Speaker 2>It's the toughness, the commitment to the craft, the willingness

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 2>to do the dirty work that makes Tyreek and Wadle

0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 2>both special in my opinion. They maximize their routes. They

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 2>don't short change it an area of their game. They

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 2>spend all off season crafting and perfecting and working on

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 2>and understanding what role they play in creating the all

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 2>important space aspect of an offense. They don't short change

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 2>their steps, they maximize them. They mix up their routes

0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:00.360
<v Speaker 2>to look different each time. I think that standard. It's

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.359
<v Speaker 2>so tough for a young wide receiver to step in

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 2>right away and be productive. And Coach Welker is as

0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 2>demanding of his guys as anybody in this league, and

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.879
<v Speaker 2>good because look what it's produced. Certainly not a C

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 2>graded receiving core. When you have those two guys, I

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 2>think that's what makes OBJ OBJ as well. For what

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 2>it's worth, it's what makes River Cravecraft so well thought

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.280
<v Speaker 2>of around here, and we'll miss that for as long

0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 2>as he's down. But these guys are true pros that

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 2>really play the possession like it's supposed to be played.

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 2>And oh, by the way, they also happened around four

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.680
<v Speaker 2>to twos, which is obviously a hell of a lot

0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.240
<v Speaker 2>of fun. The question here is the workload and health.

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 2>The OBJ saga, it's a little annoying, I'll be honest

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:36.640
<v Speaker 2>with you, guys. They've talked about it today, with Chris

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Greer saying that they knew this was a possibility. OBJ

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be up, but they decided to go down

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.360
<v Speaker 2>on the pup to have the long play more in mind,

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.199
<v Speaker 2>which I think totally tracks to kind of combat what

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 2>we talked about with the late season, you know, downward trends.

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.639
<v Speaker 2>I think they're thinking, we'd rather have the best version

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 2>of our team in December versus September when this guy

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 2>has had a lot of injury issues the last few years.

0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.159
<v Speaker 2>And I know, but again, please trust this is you know,

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.359
<v Speaker 2>more geared towards ten and seventeen. Like, I just feel

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.399
<v Speaker 2>like we keep them fresh with rotation, but maybe a

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.120
<v Speaker 2>little more time and then not missing so much time

0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 2>with the injuries. Like that's the only knock on Waddle, right,

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.120
<v Speaker 2>because they're both tough, they're both wired a certain way,

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 2>and Reek is like he plays through some stuff. Man,

0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.080
<v Speaker 2>I just need Walla to avoid the nicks and bruises

0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 2>that led to him playing just over half the snaps

0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 2>last year. You got to have more than fifty five

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.200
<v Speaker 2>percent of the workload for Jalen Waddle. And you know what,

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.720
<v Speaker 2>like stop dropping the damn football too, like Reek. You know,

0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 2>my man dropped a touchdown on Philly, had the drop

0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 2>fumbling Kse that was the difference there. Also dropped a

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 2>deep shot on third down that would have given us

0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.119
<v Speaker 2>a first down in the red zone. Dropped a touchdown

0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.560
<v Speaker 2>versus Baltimore, dropped a critical third down in the finale

0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.680
<v Speaker 2>prior to the Deontay Hardy punt return. Like, make those

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 2>five plays and the season goes entirely different, and maybe

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.800
<v Speaker 2>even the one seed is in play or close, and

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe you're closer to two k yards as well. I'm

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:55.920
<v Speaker 2>just saying he is the best in the league. But

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's crazy to ask the best player

0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in the league to finish even more plays. They're there

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 2>for him to take. And we heard from Chris Career

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.880
<v Speaker 2>about how you beat playoff teams, like that's it, man,

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Like you don't have to tear your entire operation down

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 2>because you drop two balls in critical games, Like, just

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.600
<v Speaker 2>play better, just execute better. That does happen every year

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 2>in the National Football League, And it's okay to go

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:17.639
<v Speaker 2>back and watch the tape and come back from it

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.320
<v Speaker 2>and saying we got the horses, we have the guns,

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 2>we just have to better execute. I'm not sure how

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.480
<v Speaker 2>you solve the injuries issue, but to solve for the

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 2>reak thing, and he said this, just lock in more

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.199
<v Speaker 2>down the stretch. He said he lost his lock in

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.200
<v Speaker 2>down the stretch last year. We can't have that tight

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:36.360
<v Speaker 2>ends collective multiplicity? Is that a confusing term. I think

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.199
<v Speaker 2>this room is hilariously perfectly built. And by that I

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 2>mean that John who's one of the best receiving tight

0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 2>ends in the game, and you can point to his

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 2>production as a pushback, and I just don't care about that,

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 2>because situation and usage matter and when he's been maximized.

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 2>He had eight touchdown seasons. He's averaged eight point three,

0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 2>eight point six and ten yards per target in three years.

0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 2>And in this game, looking at the stat sheet doesn't

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 2>do you anything your eyeballs can't do. Just watch the man.

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 2>He is an absolute menace. And trying to attribute his

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:08.119
<v Speaker 2>skill set from what a defensive coordinator running an offense

0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:10.640
<v Speaker 2>in New England doesn't matter to me. That's not important.

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I know what I see with my eyes, and this

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 2>is a good player. And then Julian Hill is this

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 2>devastating blocker who executes our system so damn well. Those

0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 2>are rap blocks coming around the edge. And this is

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 2>why I love John new Smith so much. Now we

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.800
<v Speaker 2>can throw in I don't know, eight or ten jet

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 2>motions a game with a tight end. And now on

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.200
<v Speaker 2>that seventh play, maybe you get the overplay you want

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 2>in the backside and you can hand it to John

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 2>new Smith who gets the ball with ten yards of

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 2>space before anyone could even touch him.

0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 3>He breaks that tackle.

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Now you're talking about a twenty five yard play because

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.400
<v Speaker 2>you just built it into your system that way.

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 3>More wrinkles.

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.679
<v Speaker 2>For Mike McDaniel is always a good thing. But I

0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:47.400
<v Speaker 2>don't think either of them is perfectly polished, rounded tight

0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:49.400
<v Speaker 2>end who does both at a high level. But they

0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 2>balance each other in a perfect way. And the reason

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I say it's hilariously perfectly built is because Durham Smith

0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:56.360
<v Speaker 2>is kind of that guy, like a jack of all

0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Trade's not great at any one thing, but good at everything.

0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.680
<v Speaker 2>So you have this perfect blend in my opinion. And

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:03.920
<v Speaker 2>the question here, of course, is the issue with having

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:04.680
<v Speaker 2>complementary parts.

0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Is you lose one?

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Does that whole concept go away? I think the question

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I have is an offshoot of that. Can you keep

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 2>the full men you open? If John new Smith goes

0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 2>down for some time? Is the solve Tanner connor?

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:15.679
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it is.

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it is last one here on the offense the line,

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 2>and it'll be the only thing people talk about for

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.679
<v Speaker 2>the whole year, it seems like. But the taking to

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 2>the element of this position within a system that makes

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:30.440
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing go that's the calling card. And this

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:33.360
<v Speaker 2>is three years running on this concept, right. Retrain their

0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:35.280
<v Speaker 2>brains to play the position in a way they haven't

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:38.120
<v Speaker 2>played it previously. There's not a ton of playing backwards

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.959
<v Speaker 2>in this offense. It's going and getting these freaky athletes

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:42.560
<v Speaker 2>where they are, cut them off at the pass and

0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 2>force them to play sideways a post to downhill. And

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.000
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't give a fighter jet a big runway if

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 2>your goal is to keep him grounded. That's how you

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 2>view these pass rushers. Go get them, don't let them

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.439
<v Speaker 2>build up speed. And when you look at the parts

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:57.359
<v Speaker 2>like Armstead third year here, Rob Jones, third year in

0:22:57.400 --> 0:22:59.880
<v Speaker 2>the system, Aaron Brewer, he's brand new but quite literally

0:22:59.920 --> 0:23:02.560
<v Speaker 2>the best fit in the system in the league for

0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:05.920
<v Speaker 2>this system, like literally Liam Austin, Kendall, Lester All in

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.399
<v Speaker 2>their third year here, Jack Driscoll gets cut. He was

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:10.679
<v Speaker 2>heading for his first year, probably didn't like where he

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:12.920
<v Speaker 2>was at with the development in the system. And then

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah Wins in his second year. I think about Coach

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 2>alluded to the technical refinement that he has seen. Back

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:21.920
<v Speaker 2>after the game on Friday against the Bucks, I think

0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.240
<v Speaker 2>about how they attacked the off season. Let's go ahead

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and add weaponry. Let's watch our quarterback take the next step.

0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:29.919
<v Speaker 2>Let's watch the offensive line do the same thing in

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.199
<v Speaker 2>the same way that we can further instruct from a

0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 2>bucket of experience we already have and just continue to

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 2>get better at what makes this whole thing work. And

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:41.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, like they had the resources this offseason to

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 2>build what they saw fit to fix those issues, and

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:45.919
<v Speaker 2>they told you what they thought those issues were with

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 2>how they spent the money. That's my whole point. I

0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.400
<v Speaker 2>think you should trust them. What do they know though? Right?

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's we go over this every single podcast.

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 2>This seems like I'm let's go ahead and finish up

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 2>this segment with soundbites here or a SoundBite I should

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 2>say from Chris Career on Andrew Meyer, kind of the

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 2>surprise keep of the Dolphins roster, but had a pre

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 2>damn good preseason.

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:08.400
<v Speaker 1>He's got personality, he's tough, he's smart, he loves ball,

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.920
<v Speaker 1>he's a grinder, and every day he just got better

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and better. And it got to a point where it's

0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:18.240
<v Speaker 1>hard that you can see in talking with the coaches

0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and Butch and Mike that we see that there's a

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:25.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of potential in his future. So he's, you know,

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 1>still has a lot of work to do to improve,

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>but this was a player we just felt like we

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to lose because he's got something that we'd

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:34.439
<v Speaker 1>like to see what it looks like at.

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 2>The end, the question on the offensive line is with

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the game on the line and obvious passing situations or

0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:42.639
<v Speaker 2>in shortyards where a running game has to come into play,

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 2>can you hold up if the defense is effectively able

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.880
<v Speaker 2>to reroute or funnel and to what has to buy time?

0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Can you win in those critical downs and shortyards? And

0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 2>in fact, I think I have the solve here because

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:57.640
<v Speaker 2>did you know that since McDaniel's arrival in twenty twenty two,

0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:00.560
<v Speaker 2>no team has a better conversion rate on third or

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:02.920
<v Speaker 2>fourth down and short which is four yards or less

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:06.240
<v Speaker 2>from twelve and twenty one personnel than Miami. They're number

0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 2>one in the league in that did you also know

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 2>that nobody had a worse conversion rate in those same

0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:14.880
<v Speaker 2>situations from eleven personnel, so Odell, John Hu, Jalen all

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 2>these guys should help you a be more diverse from

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 2>eleven personnel, but also b go to more twelve and

0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:22.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty one personnel because twenty one could be you know,

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Wright and Devon h Chan for instance, or the

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.160
<v Speaker 2>for instance in the case of scenario A is John

0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 2>new Smith is better than Durham and OBJ when he

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:34.440
<v Speaker 2>gets back is better than Braxton or Cedric for that matter.

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 2>So that's kind of the solve there. That's the offensive line.

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and take our last break rate there,

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:41.399
<v Speaker 2>come back on the other side and do the entire defense.

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:44.520
<v Speaker 2>That's next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:49.120
<v Speaker 2>to you by Autodation Interior Defensive Lines. Where we start

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 2>this off, and I'm not sure how to coin this,

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 2>but it's a lot like Baltimore in the sense that

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 2>we have two guys that do everything really well. They're massive,

0:25:56.680 --> 0:26:00.040
<v Speaker 2>their ninetieth plus percentile in length and peer strength, and

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 2>how that allows the linebacker play behind them to do

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:05.639
<v Speaker 2>exactly what they do best. But also the rotation built

0:26:05.640 --> 0:26:08.919
<v Speaker 2>around that for any given game plan, personnel grouping, or

0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 2>particular snap. And I think this depth and rotation spills

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 2>into the practice squad as well. It's not just the

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 2>roster guys, it's the whole sixty nine man operation with

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, Nakuon Jones, with getting Jonathan Harris back. I

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 2>think the way this group can hold against double teams

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 2>with what we have at the linebacker and edge spots

0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 2>when they're all healthy, just makes so much sense.

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:29.359
<v Speaker 3>And the question is, now, if you lose one of

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:29.879
<v Speaker 3>those guys.

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I like it a lot less than that, and between

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 2>you and I, I thought we had more here. That's

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 2>kind of a surprise of training camp. I expect this

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:39.879
<v Speaker 2>position to be one that gets, you know, more of

0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:42.760
<v Speaker 2>a look around the league. Even you know, Neville Gallimore

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:44.320
<v Speaker 2>did decide to go off to the Rams. They do

0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 2>get Jones and Harris back. But I think that you know,

0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:50.200
<v Speaker 2>this is a spot that could still use a little

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 2>bit of TLC even with those two moves of the

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:54.920
<v Speaker 2>guys coming back to the practice squad off the edge,

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:57.400
<v Speaker 2>the ability to play multiple spots, which is a theme

0:26:57.440 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 2>of this entire defense. It's kind of how the whole

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 2>thing was built. When we have two and fifteen full

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:05.280
<v Speaker 2>go Chubb and Phillips, there's not a better tandem that

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 2>can play all three downs, dominate the run, and set

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:11.359
<v Speaker 2>their own table for the pass rush. Phillips and Chubb

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:15.360
<v Speaker 2>are basically their own full five course meal. And perhaps

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 2>this analogy sucks because they bring the meal to the

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 2>table to serve it on the fine chine that they

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 2>brought out to eat the food that they cooked. They

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:24.919
<v Speaker 2>just do it all man. But what makes them so

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 2>unique is how effective they can be from that three

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:30.639
<v Speaker 2>technique or the four I technique or the five technique,

0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 2>and those positions are basically on the outside shoulder of

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:35.880
<v Speaker 2>the guard to the outside shoulder of the tackle. Just different

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:38.240
<v Speaker 2>positions on the defensive line there. And if I'm a

0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 2>guard who sees Jalan Phillips across from me, I'm telling

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 2>my right tackle, hey, Bud, I need your help here,

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 2>and he's looking back at me saying, this guy out here,

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Chop Robinson has a one to six ten split. I

0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 2>need to get out there if I'm gonna have any

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.439
<v Speaker 2>chance of cutting him off. Otherwise we're gonna have the

0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Jesse Davis on aj Epanessa back in twenty twenty one

0:27:56.520 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 2>when he ran directly through Tua's ribs and broke them

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:02.919
<v Speaker 2>on the convert where you flip Chop Robinson inside and

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 2>he mugs up over the center. That multiplicity makes it

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 2>tough to game plan for the question for this room,

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:11.680
<v Speaker 2>it's just the early season availability, right, and how nice

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:13.879
<v Speaker 2>is our schedule to give us a heap of that

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 2>well less than established offenses off the bat, I should say,

0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:20.359
<v Speaker 2>outside of that Buffalo game, I'm so grateful that by

0:28:20.359 --> 0:28:22.800
<v Speaker 2>the time we get to the second Buffalo game. We

0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 2>get those guys back, We get the Bills and the

0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Rams a nice two weeks sandwich against Las Vegas and

0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:30.400
<v Speaker 2>New England before Green Bay, the Jets, the Texans, the Niners,

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:32.320
<v Speaker 2>like you get it. We should have our guns back

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:35.280
<v Speaker 2>by then. But I can understand apprehension about this group

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 2>early on totally justified. And by the way, beach Ub

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.360
<v Speaker 2>is close, He'll be back when he's eligible. That's pretty

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:44.800
<v Speaker 2>much a guarantee. Off ball linebackers, same as the quarterback

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 2>man instincts, anticipation, and the ability to play faster than

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:52.160
<v Speaker 2>your opponent. I'd add the vertical speed, and by that

0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean as a blitzer or in coverage running the

0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 2>other way. I think when you consider stacking straight backer pairings,

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 2>like one guy goes and causes the pile up in

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 2>their linebacker reads that and scrapes off of his butt

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 2>to fit a gap, I just can't imagine a better

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:09.360
<v Speaker 2>duo for that than Brooks and Long. For how they

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.640
<v Speaker 2>get their keys and how they go, it's fun to watch,

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:14.640
<v Speaker 2>and it will only Bills. We go along here and

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Walker plays that way too, and they all just

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:19.000
<v Speaker 2>have thump. I thought we saw that with Duke Riley

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 2>at times as well when he came in for Jerome

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Baker last year and got off to a hot start

0:29:22.800 --> 0:29:25.320
<v Speaker 2>before things went backwards for him. The question here is

0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 2>how quickly does that happen for them? Because I don't

0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 2>expect it to gel right away with those guys. I

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 2>think you'll feel awesome about this group this time next year,

0:29:33.320 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 2>And I can certainly understand apprehension with getting them up

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.000
<v Speaker 2>to speed early. And the soul for that could be

0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 2>as simple as reducing the snap counts and certain situations

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:42.480
<v Speaker 2>for guys, and that might come at the expense of

0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 2>a backer and passing situations for another defensive back. Maybe

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 2>it's like Jordan Poyer or Marcus may comes down and

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:50.440
<v Speaker 2>plays the buck or plays the leo linebacker.

0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Spot cornerbacks interchangeability.

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 2>It's really quite crazy to consider that your two best

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:57.920
<v Speaker 2>corners are arguably as good inside as they are outside,

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 2>and Ramsey like play him anywhere, think that he'll win

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:04.120
<v Speaker 2>that matchup. He also dictates the offensive terms unlike anybody

0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 2>else in the league, and because Fuller can do it,

0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and because I think Ethan Bonner is ready to contribute

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 2>on the perimeter right now, and Cater can play inside.

0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I think you have something of an embarrassment of riches

0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 2>in terms of options here, Like if there's a team,

0:30:16.880 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, say the Chiefs, that you want Ramsey to

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.120
<v Speaker 2>shadow Kelsey, then you probably need more Ethan Bonner on

0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 2>the outside. Or if Ramsey is going to shadow Garrett

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Wilson on the outside, you probably need more slot reps.

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 2>And that makes more sense for Cater COOHU. They can

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:31.840
<v Speaker 2>dictate terms because of how flexible this group is. The question,

0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I just don't really have one outside of a Ramsey injury.

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 2>That's every team that's ever played that right, your star

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:39.160
<v Speaker 2>player goes down, it is probably gonna hurt you. Captain

0:30:39.160 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 2>obvious stuff. I love this room and listen tomorrow's episode

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 2>and realize how many teams are super thin at cornerback.

0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 2>And to that point, Chris Greer totals today that a

0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:49.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of teams called trying to trade for Ethan Bonner

0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 2>this offseason. The Safeties their temperament, that's their calling card.

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 2>All these guys love to hit and play the game

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 2>one hundred miles an hour. We saw it right away

0:30:57.680 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 2>with Javon's first game when he put a lick in

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:02.040
<v Speaker 2>a forced five on none other than John hus Smith

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and that Patriots game. Also that Ravens game when he

0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 2>came from depth and had a crushing blow on Devin

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Doubty on the sideline. You know what Jordan Poyer's about.

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Marcus may hits everything that moves in that game against

0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 2>the Commanders, especially and Elijah Campbell. All he does is

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:18.240
<v Speaker 2>make presence felt on covering kicks. Safeties have to be flexible,

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:19.760
<v Speaker 2>they have to support the run. They need to be

0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:22.920
<v Speaker 2>able to match up and coverage in the system. And

0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:24.720
<v Speaker 2>they ask a lot of these guys. They're deep and

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 2>they all share that similar mindset. I think my question

0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 2>here is can we match up on coverage outside of

0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Javon Holland I do have some apprehension about that. So

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 2>that's the podcast tomorrow. We're going to come back and

0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:37.200
<v Speaker 2>do the NFL predictions. I'm so fired up to tell

0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:40.120
<v Speaker 2>you guys about the two hundred and seventy two game rundown.

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I did assign records to everybody picked the playoff games,

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.640
