Earlier 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.280 this week, the Dolphins open training camp, bring people in 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.400 on Tuesday, get things going on Wednesday, and some some 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.560 news out of training camp. They finished signing all their rookies. 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.560 Leam Miichenberg, the tackle out of Notre Dame, who's gonna 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.680 compete for that right tackle spot with Jesse Davis and 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.680 uh and and maybe d J. Fluker, some of those 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.320 guys out there. He signed on on Tuesday. And and 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.640 one little bit of a disappointment, Preston Williams back in 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.800 the fold. However, he's on physically under able to perform 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:59.960 and UH won't won't be working with the team for 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.639 a while until he gets ready, so still kind of 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.119 getting getting retarded from that injury had last season. Yeah, 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.440 that's a big part of the offense. You know. If 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:12.440 you can have Preston Williams on the outside opposite uh 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.600 DeVante Parker, and then you add that speed with William 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.160 Fuller on the inside with Jalen Waddle, there's a lot 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.360 of good things for to a tongue of ioloa, a 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.959 lot of options at his disposal. So you hope that 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:25.880 Preston is gonna be able to get back. You know, 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.160 if it's if it's the first week or ten days, okay, uh, 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.920 you know, get into the second preseason game, maybe a 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:33.880 couple of plays in the third, or maybe he doesn't 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.800 even have to play in the third. Get him ready 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.080 for um. You know that that September date to open 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.360 up in New England. So you're you're hoping that it's 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.520 not gonna last the entire training camp because I think 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.959 Preston is one of those guys we've seen in the past. 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.400 Training camp kind of carries over into the regular season. 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.080 You want him to be positive, have some positive plays 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.400 going into the regular season. Well, let's talk a little 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.680 bit about expectations. You know, we've talked all offseason and 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.560 talk about different positions and everything, But when you look 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.520 at this football team, if you could just pick three 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:08.080 things that you're gonna look at that you expect from 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:12.160 this Miami Dolphin football team, I would say Number one, 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:17.200 aggression and being aggressive on offense, meaning with tempo, getting 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.360 in and out of the huddle, maybe going some no 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.799 huddle uh trying to get on and and tire out 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.720 of defense Number one and make them identify where all 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.760 that speed is coming from, because the Dolphins have plenty 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.280 of it this year. I think that's probably something I 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:35.040 would look for. Secondly, can they build upon what they 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.079 started on defense last year? I think Josh Bowyer was 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.920 onto something with moving guys around and being able to 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.480 be multiple not only with your players, but with your position. 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.280 And now you have McKinney at linebacker, you you have 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.000 Aga coming off of a huge year. You have Van 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.760 Ginkle that's ascending opposite him. You had better play on 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.959 the inside. Can those guys build upon what they did 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.160 and make the guys behind them even better? I think 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.880 that they were the beneficiaries of that. And then I 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.040 think third you know, you have to look at the 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.560 quarterback position. You have to look at how to is 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.239 going to be, how he's gonna play early, how he's 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.000 going to, you know, kind of get into the fire early. 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.160 Can he lead the team? Can he start that team 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.640 and be a leader, you know through the first month 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.160 of September, where the Dolphins aren't kind of looking up 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.639 at everybody else going into October and November. Can they 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.399 start fast? I think that's probably the word I'm looking for. 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.519 Can to ignite a fast start for the Miami Dolphins, 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.160 especially on that side of the football. I think this 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.440 offensive line is going to be a very, very key 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.600 component and a good component to the football team. You 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.320 look at Austin Jackson, Solomon Kenley, Robert Hunt, look at 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.960 all the snaps that those guys got last year, valuable snaps. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.880 They're all big guys. They're all athletic guys that can 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.600 move your kick. Hunt down into that right guard right 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.160 guard position, which I think is a more a better 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.280 position for him. He's working in a tighter space and 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.240 a bigger body. I think that's gonna help. And then 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.080 the battle for that right tackle spot with the Jesse Davis, 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.880 the incumbent and Leah Mikenberg coming in. D J. Fluker 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.040 is gonna battle for that tackle position, maybe that guard position. 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.720 But I just think with the way those those guys 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.920 played last year, in the number of snaps that they got, 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.400 in particular those three rookies, that they're gonna come back 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.359 and be stronger and better and better equipped to be 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.880 a put in John we talked about before. One thing 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.760 that we've seen with his football team, uh since uh, 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.440 since Brian Flores and his staff has been here, They've 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.440 been able to get people to get to become better 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.560 the second year than they were the first year. Growth 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.080 every year we see out of these team. This this 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.520 this coaching staff for these players, and I think that 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.520 is going to be a key point on this football team. 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.760 But I think you I can speak for you here. 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.479 If we don't talk about the offensive line this year, 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.200 it's a great thing. As we've been talking, We've been 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.719 talking about him for about I don't know, ten years now, 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.400 and you want to be able to talk about him 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.320 as an afterthought. You know, the offensive line play well 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.160 again today. They you know, they really did. They provided 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.920 some gaping holes for the running game. They gave two 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.320 tons of protection. Uh, and they moved people off the 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.200 line of scrimmage and short yardage and on the goal line. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.880 If you can say those things with any kind of consistency, 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.240 the Dolphins offense is gonna have a pretty good year. 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.520 And that's that's where it starts, and that's where it 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.760 ends sometimes, is that offensive line. And as you said, 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.520 the young guys got a lot of valuable experience last year. 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.000 You had a couple more new pieces. Let's see how 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.360 it all shakes out, because at the end of the day, 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.320 you want the five best playing every Sunday at whatever 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.039 position may be suited for them. It's it's gonna be ah. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.160 It's gonna be a fun start to the season. It's 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.160 gonna be a uh. It's gonna be nice to get 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.440 back and and watch training camp and see these guys 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.560 have a true training camp where they get through and 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.839 get ready to play the games. The next thing, you know, John, 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.520 they're gonna be heading to Chicago to practice against the 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.159 Bears for a couple of times, a couple of times 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.080 before their first preseason game, and then then we're gonna 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:57.880 be up to our next in it as we go 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.440 on for the next one eighteen nineteen weeks, Sir, hopefully 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.360 it goes, hopefully goes a little go a lot long, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.640 a little little bay stick around.

And uh, I don't know 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.440 about you, but it's always enjoyable when when training camps 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.600 open up, especially when we don't have to go through 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:45.840 it again.

And it brings back so many 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.560 memories and uh, you know, you and I have a 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.080 lot of memories from that seventy seven training camp. There's 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.560 a lot going on back then. And uh, um it's 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:04.560 funny how clearly uh you your you can recall a 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.240 lot of things that happened during training camp. You know, 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.920 it's one of those things that uh, you don't ever forget. Bob. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.400 I wanted to ask you a little bit about some 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.840 of those memories. Uh, you know, had such a prolific 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.000 ear on the defensive side. Uh, not only you know, 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.960 with multiple tackles and multiple plays along the line of scrimmage, 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.240 but behind the line of scrimmage. How how much is that? 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.440 How much do you take with with you when you 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.880 run into guys like kim Bo Camper, or you see 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.240 an A. J. Doe, or you see somebody that brings 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.280 back a memory that make puts a smile on your face. 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:43.000 Oh definitely, it's uh we I really feel blessed to 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.320 have had those experiences and have been able to have 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.079 those relationships, still have those relationships. I mean I I 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:55.360 called Bob. I just called bo Um a couple of 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.240 days ago, just to catch up. Talk to a J, 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.480 talked to Duck Bettors, talked to a lot of guys 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.400 and Um, whether it's the memories from back in the 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.800 day when we were all playing together and doing our thing, 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.800 or the memories I have from our relationships as we've 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:15.080 grown a little older. Um, it's just special. And I'm 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.480 feel blessed to have those type of relationships. And you know, 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.800 they all started for me back in uh seventy seven, 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.280 my rookie year in Miami. Hey, Bob, let's talk a 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.400 little bit about Two. You you've had up. You had 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.000 the opportunity to watch him firsthand when he came in. 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.160 U you came in and lit things up in Alabama 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.600 and the type of player he was. But but talk 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.720 a little bit about the character. You know. I know 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.120 that there's been talk about two and can he be 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.079 the guy or was he a bus in this and that? 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.600 And and a lot of guys would maybe take that 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.760 and say, well, you know, I'm I'm gonna show the fans. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.800 But Bob, I think from me looking at two from 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:55.000 a distance, UM, I don't think his mind works that way. 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.760 I think his mind works his Look. I'm gonna go 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.880 out and I'm gonna work to be the best player 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.520 that I can be. And I think the way he 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.720 was brought up, I think that his character is really 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.360 something that that that's on the forefront when you watch him, 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.640 you've seen him more than I have. How do you 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.320 see him stepping from where he was in Alabama, what 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.599 he went through last year to what we may be 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.800 expect to see from him. Knowing the personality of the 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.840 of the character we're talking about, I think you're spot on, 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.800 you know. I I don't know his parents, well, but 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.880 I had the opportunity to meet him and spend some 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.600 time with him when they were in Alabama. They are 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.480 wonderful people, wonderful family. And you know when we played, 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.360 but we had good people on that team. When you 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.600 and I came to Miami, there were good folks on 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.960 that team, starting with the coaching staff and then the 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.360 players that we played with, and two of his good people. 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.840 He's good people. Mom and dad are great. He's a winner. Um, 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.000 he is exactly what you say is as far as 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.640 his attitude about being the best he can be. He's 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.120 gonna do what's necessary and he's going to keep working 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.880 to get better at the pro game. And then with 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.599 what coach for us and coaches are doing, the decisions 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.479 you're making, you know, with both defense and offense. It's uh, 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.640 like I said, I got really really good feeling about 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.240 what's going on down there. Bob. Really appreciate you taking 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.880 some time out to join us.

So it's gonna have to 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.400 be left up in the air from now on. We're 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.360 gonna have to have a talk with coach Saban about 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.640 that and get to get the Spartans on the schedule. Huh. 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.880 There you go. Last times the sparts were on the 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.480 schedule for Alabama, I think they only lasted a half 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.640 a quarter until I tell you, guys got into triple 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:55.040 or double digits or something.

I've been my gun 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:29.880 this whole time, trying to scurring. I'll actually give you 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:36.080 some good tosses for the content. I think that was 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.680 all right. Welcome back to the audible Kimbo Camper. John 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.840 consam me with your training camps open. Baptist Health training 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.720 complexes is wide open. Players are there, John, And uh well, 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.080 I tell you what a facility that Steven Ross is 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:01.760 putting together. And he se million dollars or whatever, but 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.400 I'll tell you what what a gym it is. And 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.360 NFL is getting everyone back in the fans back. It's 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.040 back together is the theme of the NFL. And fans 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:10.520 are getting back to get to get to watch the 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.000 training camp and and for the Dolphin fans, not only 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.480 gonna just see the new new look Dolphins, they're gonna 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.720 get to check out that new Baptistelf facility which is 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.880 which is out of control, Johnny, it's beautiful. And for 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.800 any NFL player that is a free agent, I think 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.560 the Miami Dolphins just became that much more attractive because 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.360 not only do you get to come to South Florida, 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.680 but you get to come to a brand new, uh, 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.960 state of the art training facility and you know, two 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.760 grass fields. You have the indoor facility, the weight room 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.840 is phenomenal, the training room looks spectacular. For the players, 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.840 they have everything that uh that your heart would desire. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.240 I guess bo as a player. No more wooden stools 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.720 for these guys that they could probably camp out in 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.480 their locker for about a week and a half and 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.640 not need anything. So uh, it's good for the players, 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.880 it's great for the fans. They have a huge canopy 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.880 uh to watch. You know, today fans were all over 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:07.200 the Baptist Health training facility and it was great to 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.800 see so um. Hats off to Stephen Ross and the 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.360 organization for for building a world class facility. You know, 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.720 first opportunity Phillis fans to get back and watch training 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.400 camp today, and I know it was special for all them, 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.280 and John I go, I go back to you know, 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.840 I go back to where we were complaining, moaning about 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.960 we ever did that practice facility and how rad it was. 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.760 And then they moved to the new Davy facility and 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.040 we're like, oh my gosh. The stated, look, I can't 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.000 believe these and now the now other guys that moving 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:38.280 there go jeezs were out of that old Davy, outdated 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.480 facility into the new State garden. We have times have 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.520 changed from from the two by four with a for 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.800 ten years, I hung my clothes up on a on 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.320 a tenpenny nail nailed into a two by four. Now 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.400 I don't think there's any two by fours and tenpenny 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.000 nails hanging around in the Dolphins training facility anymore. So, 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.000 you know the problem is both for for me personally, 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:00.720 I always bring it back to you know, your own 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.480 personal experience. My friends at Grand Oaks say, my handicap 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.160 is gonna go from a three to about a ten 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.399 because I have to drive all the way down to 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:11.359 Miami gardens down from practice in the in and every 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.800 day instead of just going across the street and hit 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.480 balls at the driving range, just bring us up. Just 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.560 get a matt and bring it and you can pick 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.479 out the practice field hit some balls there. See how 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.760 long that last? For years? Yeah, I'm not gonna try that, 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:27.000 not not this year for sure. Alright, important training camp 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.360 and it's it's again great to have the fans back 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.520 at at training camp who saw him there today, And 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.680 it's gonna they're gonna have their opportunities that go on 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.480 and and remember the first preseason game is in Chicago 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.200 and August fourteen, they'll go ahead and have dual practices 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.359 against the Bears for two days and then take Friday off. 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.400 And John we talked about this. I love those practices 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.600 and I love to I think we're I think that's 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.560 you in lieu of a fourth preseason game. I think 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.480 having practicing, practicing against two different teams prior to those 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.159 games really is is a is a wise thing for 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.320 this organization to do. I totally agree. Bo. You know, 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.960 you get that opportunity to go on the road, get 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.400 your team acclimated to that practice against the Bears, come 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.880 home practice against the Atlanta Falcons then play them, which 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.320 could be in the dress rehearsal because there's only three 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.560 as you said, so the guys that are starters may 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.960 get extended time in that second preseason game. But you're right, 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:25.920 you build those practices into many games, situations on offense, 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.840 on defense, on special teams. Even though there might not 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.800 be that much live contact, You've got new bodies flying around, 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:37.880 different colored jerseys. The competition levels increased because you want 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.119 to win each drill, you want to win each play, 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:43.280 and I think that heightens the uh, the preseason for 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:47.359 a young football team that have high expectations, no doubt. 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.119 All right, John's but a pleasure be in with you, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.800 and uh, look we're we're going now. So it's uh, 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.320 you know, the brakes are off and we're rolling down 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.639 the hill and it's gonna be a about a twenty 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.280 some odd week, a little run force and looking forward 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.600 every minute of it. Yeah, I am too, But hopefully 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:03.960 we're smiling each and every week as much as we 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.720 can because these Dolphins, they're a young team but with 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.000 a lot of high expectations as we talked about, and 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.760 we can't wait to watch him win in two thousand 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:14.920 and twenty one at an Upside no doubt.
