I am your host, 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:23.680 Travis Wingfield, and I am here to bring you your 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.160 daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. And on today's show, 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.160 we are joined by the creator of the film Room 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.720 on YouTube, Brett Coleman. He has an episode on new 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.000 Dolphins running back Jordan Howard that is an absolute must 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.479 watch for Dolphins fans everywhere as we dive into the 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:44.240 new Dolphins running back in his game, plus this year's good, deep, 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.360 diverse draft class of talented running backs. All of that 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.680 and more on this Tuesday, April the seventh edition of 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:57.640 the Drivetime Podcast Dolphins, and this interview was so in 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.880 depth about the demands of the running back position, how 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.440 Jordan Howard excels in all three phases of the position 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.840 and this deep, deep draft class. Let's not waste any 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.560 more time and get to my interview with Brett Coleman. 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.560 And joining the podcast now is the creator of quite frankly, 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.280 one of the best channels on all of YouTube. It's 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.480 aptly named the Film Room. He is Brett Coleman. Brett, 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.960 what's up man, I'm doing wonderful. Thanks for having me on. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.080 Excited to talk Dolphins just because you guys have so 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.800 many picks to work with this draft. We've had so 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.360 many comments just like that on the podcast. I even 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.280 talked to Pete Prisco of CBS Sports and he was 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.200 talking about how he wants to be the GM of 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.199 the Dolphins because of the great position they're in heading 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.560 into free agency and the draft now. And that's where 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.319 we get our focus here on this particular podcast episode. 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.680 But first I want to get into the weeds on 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.520 one of the Dolphins free agent signings because you produced 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.800 a video right about fourteen minutes in length after Jordan 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.440 Howard's rookie year, and I'll be honest with you, Brett, 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.120 after watching it, I'm thinking this guy might be the 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.400 Steel of free agent. See it's episode thirty seven titled 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.600 how Jordan Howard ran over the entire NFL. And I 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.880 want to get into all three phases of the position 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.960 because you did such a good job detailing each of those. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.160 And let's go ahead and start with the running portion 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.840 of his game. That clip where you break down his 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.040 read of his interior offensive line against the Lions and 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.280 creating confusion in the run fits for the linebackers, that's 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.640 just elite content, man. So for our listeners, can you 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.960 tell us about those innate traits that make Howard such 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:33.040 a dangerous runner as a ball carrier? And you know what, 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.799 what helped him to run for so many yards as 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.560 a rookie. And to be honest, I think he played 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:41.680 pretty well um in Philly too. But what he has 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:47.240 is unbelievable vision and almost like a slippery nous in 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.720 between the tackles. He's very good at setting up blocks, 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.320 meaning just kind of using his eyes, a little kind 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.040 of shoulder movements, little jab steps to kind of influence 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:01.160 linebackers into fitting themselves in of gaps that he doesn't 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.200 want to go into, so that he can hit the 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.880 actual gap he does want to go into front side, 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.880 particularly on zone runs, where even just the smallest little 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.120 kind of shaker jab can kind of get linebackers to 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.840 panic like you're cutting back all the way, uh, and 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.880 then you just kind of squired out the front side, 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.840 which he did all the time. In Chicago. We did 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.200 a little bit in Philly as well. And and that's 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.960 really the value that he brings. You can run outside 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.560 zone with him all day long and be comfortable. You 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.920 can run inside zone with him, you can run a 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.000 little bit of power stuff. He's not super quick in 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.800 terms of stop, start, bounce outside, but I mean you 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.120 can get other backs around him that can do that better. 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.320 But just in terms of like a workhorse seventeen eighteen, 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.840 carries a game salted away in the fourth quarter kind 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.920 of back, there's very few, I think in the league 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.720 that I would rather have, uh than a veteran Jordan 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.160 Howard that's been there, done that and really knows what 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.640 he's doing. And his production through the first four years 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.080 of his career has been among the best backs in 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.680 the NFL in terms of pure volume, and you mentioned 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.520 the power that he offers. His short yardage conversion rate 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.200 is very good. And the other aspect of his game 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.280 that I think allowed him to get onto the field 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.200 to make such a significant impact as a rookie was 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.280 that quality pass protection. And Brett your video had two 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.720 clips against the Colts that I just loved from that 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.360 rookie year and even three years into his career now 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.520 there are a few guys in the league that can 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.320 declete blitzers the way Jordan Howard can. And you know 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.719 that that kind of versatility on third down. We always 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.880 like to talk about three down backs. That doesn't just 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.600 mean you know, a running back you can put in 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.520 the slot. That means a running back that you can 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.560 trust in six man protection. If you want to run 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.160 like a five step drop passing concept or dare I 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.680 say a seven step drop passing concept, it's really hard 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.400 to block that with five guys and hold the ball 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.680 of that long and third long situations, you need a 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.760 running back they can pick up a blitz. You need 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.960 a running back that can actually give a good ship 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.039 and help out your tackles. And Jordan Howard has since 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.880 he came into the league, honestly, has been one of 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.240 the best at that. UM. I liken him to kind 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.839 of like prime Frank Gore, where you know Frank wasn't 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.800 a dominant receiver, but he was so smart and so 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.080 good in pass protection that he was a three down 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.120 back throughout his career as well. UM And so I 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.719 think again, is he a dominant receiver, No, but he 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.440 is a three down back because of his blocking versatility 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.480 that can kind of open up the passing game and 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.679 let you run a lot of deep passing concepts because 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.400 of that, and as a pass catcher in terms of 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.599 what he offers when he is out into the route 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.839 making plays in the passing game, does that vision that 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.479 he offers, because, like you mentioned, watching some of his 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.640 tape that end zone angle on the ALL twenty two, 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:38.000 it's like watching a great anticipatory passer in terms of 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.160 the way he sets up those blocks. Do you see 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.280 some of that in the screen game as well? Absolutely, 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.640 especially on those little leak screens where you know you 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.480 can get two or three guys out in front of 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.800 him on the edge and at that point it basically 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.680 just becomes a moving zone run. You know, you press outside, 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.839 cut inside, And he's done that his entire career as 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.760 a runner. You know, now you're just kind of doing 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:00.560 it on the move outside the numb but it's the 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.160 same principle, and so I think he can be a 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.760 very very good screen runner specifically for that reason. He 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.640 is Brett Coleman. He hosted Create, Hosts Rather Created, and 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.200 as the lead analyst on the Film Room YouTube channel 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.119 Check that Out. Is Jordan Howard episode number thirty seven 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.719 is is fantastic and transitioning now into the draft, you 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.479 mentioned that Howard could be paired with another back from 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.880 this draft class. He was a fifth rounder once upon 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.560 a time, and this class looks to have guys throughout 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.520 that can really contribute in some former fashion. Right away 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.960 in your number one, let's go ahead and start up 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.440 top here, Brett, I want to know who falls into 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.839 your top tier of backs and what is it about 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.400 those players that makes them special? You know, I'm trying 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:46.520 to find the order that I want to put DeAndre Swift, 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.719 Jonathan Taylor, Cam Akers, and Clyde Edwards Hilaire in, but 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.320 it kind of it varies team by team in terms 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.800 of what they need. You know, Jonathan Taylor, I think 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.400 is a brilliant pure runner. He reminds me a lot 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.120 of Arian Foster, but with more juice. Just an excellent 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.120 dead Lake cut. He's a really good zone runner, but 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.760 has a lot of power as well. Again, maybe a 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.800 little bit not the most dynamic receiver, but he still 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.200 has good hands. I think he could still do a 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.240 lot of the checkdoun option. You just won't be running 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.120 like you know, seam routes with him like you would 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.040 with some other guys. Uh. DeAndre Swift is a phenomenal 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.520 outside zone runner. I mean his ability to stop and 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.480 cut up field really without even kind of wasting and 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.440 a momentum is special. And also he brings I think 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.160 a little bit more to the screen game or to 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.680 the receiving game than Jonathan Taylor. Cam Akers is a 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.080 little bit more versatile and that I think he's a 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.760 better receiver even than DeAndre Swift. Maybe not quite the 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.760 same top end um acceleration out of a cut. I 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.840 think he he doesn't kind of preserve momentum as well 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.440 as maybe Swift does. But I think in terms of 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.320 having quick feet in like gap scheme runs, stop, start, 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.480 bounce outside, he's a lot better than Swift at those. 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:00.840 And also he carries with him a lot of versatility 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.680 as a receiver. He played quarterback in high school, so 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.280 you can kind of maybe get a little bit tricky 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.040 with him with some double pass stuff. Um. And I 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.320 think you know, any Dolphins fans that also happened to 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.920 be Seminole fans realize how let's just say inconsistent their 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.040 offensive line was last year. Uh And and he kind 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.480 of made something out of nothing on a lot of runs. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.280 So I'm a really big fan of cam Ankers. I 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:23.760 think he's gonna be a better pro than he was 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.440 in college. And then the darling of the class for 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.520 me is Clyde Edwards Hilaire, who is not as fast 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.240 as any of those guys, is not as big as 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.160 any of those guys, but I'll be darned if he 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.200 isn't just so explosive and has such good vision in 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.600 short area quickness that I think he could still be 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.440 just as productive, if not more productive, than all of them, 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.320 especially if he's in an offense tailored to him. He 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.439 almost kind of reminds me of like a like a 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:54.280 Devonte Freeman, or like a super charged James White. You know, 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.199 they ran the Saints offense last year to l s 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.640 U and he played not just the mark Ingram roll, 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.040 but the Alvin Camaro role as well, and did so brilliantly. 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.240 I love the way you answered that question initially because 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.840 it really provides a perfect segue into this next idea 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.480 that kind of goes off the script here for our 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.720 rundown bread. But you mentioned this glut of running backs 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.040 that you're kind of struggling to separate in terms of 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.040 general team need, and you can obviously do that by 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.720 specific team here talking about the Miami Dolphins, obviously on 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.360 the Drivetime podcast part of the Miami Dolphins official podcast network. 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.000 And I'm curious to get your take, like, where would 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.760 you start that group of players in terms of when 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.160 they start coming off the board, because usually it's gonna this. 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.200 These things tend to have runs, right Like you're gett 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:38.840 a running back that goes off and then the next 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:40.720 one comes off a couple of picks later, and you 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.800 get a run on these guys. Where do you think 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:44.839 that run might start? Is it going to be the 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.080 first round or do we wait until day two to 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.720 hear the first back called on the draft night? If 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.160 if they go in the first round, and that's a 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.840 big if, if they start going that high, I actually 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.400 think Miami at twenty six would be kind of an 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.880 ideal star place and that would be the third first 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.720 round pick for Miami, So you know they can get 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.360 probably a quarterback at number five if they don't end 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.040 up trading up. Um at number eight teens, you can 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.760 kind of go best player available. It's dealer's choice, really, 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.280 you can do whatever you want there. Um but then 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.520 at twenty six, And the reason why I might take 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.719 a running back for them at six is because then 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.920 you get the fifth year option and then a franchise 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.920 tag on top of that. You can control that contract 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:31.000 for a running back for six years and have them 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:35.080 be really cheap compared to what other backs that get 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.200 paid are going to be making, and probably have just 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.600 as good, if if not better production, especially when looking 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.120 at some of the talents at the top of this class. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:46.240 So just from a pure team management standpoint in getting 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.719 value for contracts and controlling premium players for as long 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.520 as possible, I don't hate the idea of taking a 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:57.000 running back at solely for that reason. And then after that, 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:00.240 you know you've got potentially the Packers, you know they 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.520 want to allocate money for Aaron Jones or do they 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.439 want to draft a potential long term replacement a year early? 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.280 The forty Niners, we know how much you know they're 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.559 they're pure bp A. So if DeAndre switch is the 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.200 best player on their board, they might go with him. 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.920 Then the Chiefs also needed running back too, so I 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.720 think in the twenties is when we start to see 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.600 them go, but particularly Miami might be the first one. Yeah, 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.240 that's a super interesting discussion in terms of where that 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.480 run starts and how you allocate your resources to a 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.439 position that, by all you know, by all honesty, has 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.439 been devalued across the NFL landscape the last few years, 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.280 and that six years of club control could really maybe 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.600 be the answer to how you deal with the idea 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.560 that teams may become more scared of that second contract 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.400 for running backs. But I want to go back now 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.640 into this draft class with you, Brett and talk about 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.600 I think a notable omission from that group of players, 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.160 some guys that might be available on Day two for you, 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.440 some value picks, And the one that really stood out 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.920 for me was j K. Dobbins out of Ohio State. 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.280 Does he top that next tier of backs? And who 0:11:58.280 --> 0:11:59.920 are some other guys in that group that you like 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:04.720 on Day two? Absolutely? J K Dobbins, I think is fantastic. 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.880 You know, if all of those guys are you know, 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.240 one A, one B, one C, one D. He's to 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.080 A easily for me, very very versatile. He's got a 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.400 lot I don't know what he did in the off season, 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:19.760 but he just looked faster in twenty en um. I 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:24.079 mean he runs so so hard. Uh. He does everything 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.760 the coaches asked of him. Every single Ohio State coach 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.360 will run through a wall for that kid. They love 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.960 him up there in that program. Again, he's another one 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.320 of those three down backs. And it doesn't mean that 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.560 I don't think that he can be ultra productive in 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.480 the NFL like the others I do. It depends on 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.000 what team he goes to, but um, I think he 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.040 would probably be like the to a by the slimmest 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.840 of margins to all the other guys in that top four. 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.360 You also look at Zack Moss, who I think it's 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.319 probably gonna go on day two, and he is just 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:59.480 a freight train from Utah. Um will will his skill 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.319 set kind of clash with Jordan Howard a little bit? Yeah, potentially, 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.079 because then you have two backs that I think you 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.240 can kind of slam between the tackles all day long, 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.760 and two backs that I think get better the more 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.640 carries they get, So splitting carries between them might be interesting, 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.800 But just in terms of value, like, yeah, he's probably 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.680 gonna be the top player on the board for a 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:21.080 lot of teams, uh, solely for his between the tackles value. Um, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.959 I also look at you know, Benjamin from Arizona State. 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:28.120 You're gonna get a lot later. He's a little bit smaller, um, 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.840 maybe more of a pure third down back, but he's 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.439 really good. I mean, he's scrappy as all get out 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.280 in pass protection. I saw him down at the Senior 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.040 Bowl just taking on linebackers way bigger than him and 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.000 stoning him. I don't even know how the physics of 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:44.080 that work, but he's scrappy, UM, really good receiver out 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.640 of the backfield, quick in the open field. A J. 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.480 Dillon again is another hammer from Boston College. A lot 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.680 of people kind of compare him to Derrick Henry. Um. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.200 I mean, there's just so many in this class where 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.160 even if you don't spend a first, second, or third 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.720 round pick, you're you're gonna end up getting a pretty 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.559 good contributor running back all the way until probably the 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.679 six or seventh round of this class. Well, are there 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.640 some more guys we can talk about in that range? 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.440 I'm curious because you mentioned some of those. You know, 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.720 the A. J. Dillon is the Derrick Henry comparison coming 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.640 into the NFL, and maybe there are some more guys 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.720 that can contribute as flex out receivers or guys that 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.480 maybe they really excel and pass protection or something that's 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.560 just a little more one dimensional. Do you have any 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.160 guys in that day three range, maybe even you d 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.560 f a range that you think, Okay, this guy can 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.000 do this very very well. We can bring him into 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.520 our program. He can excel as he kind of learns 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.760 his rookie season to do that in the NFL and 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.720 give us some special teams work as well. Oh uh, 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.040 Antonio Gibson would probably jump out to me. He's kind 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:47.800 of a hybrid receiver running back. He's played both positions 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.680 at Memphis, and I heard kind of an interesting comparison 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.000 for him this week, and that's Deebo Samuel where you 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:59.040 don't really you don't really subscribe to a certain position 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.760 with him. He's just just a weapon. You know. You 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:03.320 can put him in the slot, you can put him 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.520 in the backfield. He's got four or four speed, he's 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.240 got ball skills. I mean, even if you keep him 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.680 at running back again, because he has experience at receiver, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.520 he can run the entire route tree and and do 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.200 it a lot better a lot of other running backs. 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:20.040 He's six oh two thirty with again, just blinding speed. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.560 I don't exactly know where his position in the NFL 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.400 is going to be, but I almost think that's an 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.120 advantage just kind of in this new age NFL where 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.720 you just you put him on the field and you 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.800 figure it out. Uh. And I think the Dolphins staff 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.840 is actually in a pretty good position to do that, 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.560 just because you have a lot of guys that are 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:43.480 experienced in experimentation on that staff, especially on the defensive 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:44.840 side of the ball, but in the offensive side of 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.760 the ball, to where it's like, hey, just give me 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.280 a guy who's an athlete with a versatile skill set 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.840 and we'll figure it out. So Antonio Gibson to me 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:56.480 is really intriguing as probably a Day three guy who 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.560 could be a key contributor honestly from day one. And 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.240 does he have returned ability in his game? And if 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.360 if not or if yes, who are some other guys 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:05.760 that might be able to come in and contribute in 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.680 the kick return game. Oh, you know, that's a good one, 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.800 particularly at running back. Let me go through my list 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.040 here and see who kind of pops up. J. J. 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.360 Taylor from Arizona I think is an interesting one. I mean, 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.840 he's small, he's five, but he is super quick in 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:26.000 the open field. Yeah, I mean you can see where 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.400 it's he plays bigger than he is, but I mean 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.440 he's so quick, so explosive in short areas. I think 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:36.320 he can work definitely as a punt return er. Um Man, 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.400 I'm trying to go through my whole list here and 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:44.680 see who else we got. Uh Wu Olney Lui from TCU. 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:46.760 He's a he's honestly going to be a fullback. But 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.600 I think in terms of special teams on coverage units, 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.160 he's really really good. He's a very good athlete. He's 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.400 again he's this is gonna be like a seventh round 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.960 U d f A type guy. But special teams unit 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:01.720 are made up of those guys where it's they give 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.200 me a big, strong athlete that that it has experienced 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.439 in punt coverage and next thing you know, they end 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.320 up playing for your team for ten years because they 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.920 harnessed that skill set. So I mean, oh, Jamichael Hasty 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.040 two out of Baylor, ultra quick. Again, not the biggest guy, 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.680 five eight, about two hundred pounds, but he's got really 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.960 good fee an he has return experience as well, So 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.680 all through probably after round five there's gonna be a 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:26.960 million of them where if you're trying to fill out 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.080 special teams, if you're trying to find a third down back, 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.399 to be trying to find a return man, there's a 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.240 lot of them in this group. I like you to 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:36.000 mention of the fullback there, because the Dolphins technically have 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.920 three players on the roster who played fullback last year 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.600 in Chandler Cox who is rostered as a fullback, Christian Wilkins, 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.040 who kind of touchdown passed as a fullback last year, 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.560 and the Land and Roberts running through guys faces with 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:49.919 the Patriots last Yep, he comes over to Miami as 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.280 a linebacker. Obviously. He is Brett Coleman, the creator, an 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.960 analyst and host of the Film Room on YouTube. Go 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.880 subscribe to that. It is appointment viewing for all football nerds. 0:17:59.920 --> 0:18:02.399 I promise you're gonna learn something every time Brett talks 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.600 and every time Brett makes a video. You can find 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.480 him on Twitter at Brett Coleman. That's spelled k O 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.119 L L M A n N. It's that second end 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.560 that will get you. Brett, thanks a bunch of doing this, man, 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.800 thank you for having me. And there he goes. Brett 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.199 Coleman breaking down this running back class and telling you 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.679 why Jordan Howard was a great free agent signing for 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:25.000 your Miami Dolphins. We have plenty of draft content coming 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.880 your way this week and next week and basically leading 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:32.040 up to the draft. On April Thursday, eight o'clock Eastern time, 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.960 going to be a virtual situation, and remember, the Miami 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:39.080 Dolphins Facebook account will have a live virtual draft session 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.640 for fans to join. Ask questions. We're gonna have film analysis, 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.360 player interviews. We're gonna have a Q and a session. 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.040 You're gonna see plenty of me on that broadcast, on 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.440 that virtual display of Dolphins fans gathering from all over 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:55.240 the country, all over the world to celebrate the annual party, 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.720 the annual holiday that is the NFL Draft, and us, 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.720 your Miami Dolphins, lead the way with four team picks 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.919 in this upcoming draft. On tomorrow's podcast, we're gonna have 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.920 Trevor Sikima of the Draft Network. He's gonna break down 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.399 wide receivers. On Thursday, we're going back to the Fins flashback. 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.119 We're gonna break down the two thousand two Dolphins and 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.920 Broncos game, my all time favorite Dolphins game. Personally. We're 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.080 gonna have a Ronde Gadston on to talk about that 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.920 football game. Then we return on Friday as we're gonna 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:27.760 talk to Benjamin Solak of the Draft Network about the 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.240
