WEBVTT - Drive Time: August 2 Dolphins Camp Report

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Two on the move, Going Deep, Speedless, peace hell.

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:10.400
<v Speaker 2>From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 2>This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield.

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 3>He's got my hands in the playoffs.

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 2>What is up, Dolphans And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>yesterday I said was one of the more fun days

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>of practice. Well, today might have upped that. Anti competition

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 2>pads popping, chirping, physicality, energy and intensity. It was all

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 2>there today And most days when the quarterback plays at

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 2>a high level, that's what gets me fired up. But

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 2>today it was all of the above. Plus the defensive

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 2>backfield balled out. We'll discuss that and the versatile nature

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 2>of Ramsey and Fuller and how they are clearly define themselves,

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, as the best cornerback tandem in the

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 2>National Football League. Plus how seeing this defense is helping

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.479
<v Speaker 2>the offense play faster. A big day from the offensive line.

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Soundbites from Joe Barry, Brian Duker, Skyler Thompson, Moe Kamara,

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 2>and Ezekiel Vandenberg. All of that and a heck of

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 2>a lot more from the Baptist Health Studios inside the

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Draft Time podcast.

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 2>I want to start with a general theme today about

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>the level of competition we saw out on that practice field.

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 2>There was hitting, there was intensity, there was some chirping,

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>and you could just sense it from the visuals and

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>you could hear it from the reaction. It's really all

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 2>six senses kind of got the feeling of the smell

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>of it. Wait, five senses. Yeah, it's one of my

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 2>frigging vigan Bruce Willis from my m Night Shamalan. But

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 2>you could just feel and sense the competitive nature of

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>this practice, and we heard it from the players the

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 2>audio version of the Senses. After the practice is over,

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>let's go ahead and begin with practice notes on the

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>two cornerbacks that I keep mentioning on these podcasts that

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I think are to me going to be the best

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>cornerback tandem in the NFL, and Jalen Ramsey and Kendall Fuller.

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>The offense tried today to push the ball vertical several

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.839
<v Speaker 2>times and it just was not there. And I even

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>go back to like the twenty twenty one season, there

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 2>were so many instances in the past where Tua and

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 2>this offense, even with Albert Wilson and Isaiah Ford, Devonte

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 2>Parker and Will Fuller, we're getting vertical on this defense

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>that was pretty bad that year and then last year

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 2>started off slow and all the deep balls came out

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>of practice last year. This year, there has been those,

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 2>but it's been way more competitive as far as the

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.639
<v Speaker 2>back end goes. And I'm sure the combination of having

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Ramsey who was out here for two days last year,

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>and Kendall Fuller and Javon Holland now in his fourth season,

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>and Elijah Campbell's progress and what we've seen from Marcus

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 2>May and Jordan Poyer, it's just flat out better. Man.

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.959
<v Speaker 2>They're doing a great job of taking away the vertical

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 2>options for the NFL's top vertical passing game. So I

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 2>know that exists, and if this defense can handle it,

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>it tells me they're good on both ends. And there

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>was a ton of coverage secks really more so than

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 2>out and out rush Victory Sex throughout this practice. In fact,

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, I thought the offensive line had really good

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 2>protection all day long, and just for the posterity two

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.839
<v Speaker 2>straight days without a snap on the ground, but every

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 2>time I got my pre snap checklist with five and

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine, and then when follow the route and stems

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 2>and coverage, there's twenty nine and there's five running down

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>the field with ten or seventeen or anybody else and

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 2>passing off to a safety who capped the route off.

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>And we know this defense is very, very multiple and

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 2>can show one thing and present another. And given the

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>nature of both Ramsey and Fuller skill sets and that

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>versatility to go along with it, it just makes me

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>think the offense is really having to process quickly in

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>to term, and you know post snap what the actual

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 2>matchup is they want to attack with regards to the

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 2>coverage and who winds up covering who. So to me,

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>it's the ultimate ironing, ironing, iron sharpening iron and I mean,

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>just for posterity again, listen to past game specialists Brian

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Duker when I asked him how this offense challenges their

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>coverage principles.

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 4>Certainly, we have a lot of dynamic playmakers and that

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 4>makes us have to be very specific and good with

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 4>our techniques. And you learned very quickly when you're off

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 4>just a little bit, because it can get exposed.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 5>That's right.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I got one more for you from the defensive perspective

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>clip here from coach Joe Berry and how this offense

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.279
<v Speaker 2>and how the various looks and good quarterback ball handling

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 2>in the backfield, how it challenges defenses getting into their keys,

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>and how this is kind of back and forth between

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:47.599
<v Speaker 2>these two sides.

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, this this this offense. Having been on the other

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 5>side defending it, it's it's it stresses you in every aspect.

0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 5>It stresses you on the perimeter, she in the run game,

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 5>in the past game, and the things that they're able

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 5>to do from a ball handling standpoint with the quarterback

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 5>to us specifically, it's it's always been a nightmare and

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 5>I it's it's hard, and it's a challenge every day,

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 5>but it's it's I think that's an advantage for us

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.679
<v Speaker 5>because there's nothing that we don't see from our offense

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 5>on a daily basis. And you know, that's what you want,

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 5>you know, especially this time of year when it's OTA's,

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.919
<v Speaker 5>when it's training camp, when you're when you're you know,

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 5>sharpening your sword, go against the best that we're doing

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 5>that every single day. So it's great.

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 2>And listen to Skylar Thompson when I asked him how

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 2>this defense and all they can do and throw at you.

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 2>How that speeds up your processor as a quarterback and

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 2>as an offense the last couple of weeks, how has

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 2>that cramped up your processing?

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 6>Well, it's been awesome, honestly, it's been so fun competing

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 6>against our defense. They they bring a lot of energy

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 6>every day. They give us tons of different looks, you know,

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 6>and I think that's it's so good for us as

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 6>the quarterback is you know, you can even throughout a

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 6>game week, you know, you can prep for something and

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 6>defense come out and play something totally different. And you

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 6>always got to play each play, you know. We always says,

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, each play standards, own merit, you know, and

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 6>just taking one play at a time, you know, and

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.239
<v Speaker 6>trust our progression, trust our read not predetermining pre snap

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 6>what the defense is doing, and being able to react

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 6>and feel the space. And you know, they send us

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 6>a lot of different stuff, a lot of different pressures

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 6>and looks and disguises. It's really good, really good training

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 6>for us. So it's been it's been fun to competing

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 6>with those guys.

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 2>I just thought this was a cool juxtaposition because of

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 2>the laughter on each of those you know, Coach Duker

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 2>on the back end, Skyler on the front end. With

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 2>regards to how they challenge each other, that's kind of

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 2>like the you know, Mike White, I asked him about

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Tua's processing and envision and he gave me the same thing.

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh brother, it's it's insane, Like you can't manufacture that

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 2>type of natural reaction or non verbal communication right, Like,

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 2>that's natural. And that's why I think those are so

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 2>cool to hear and so genuine to hear those guys.

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I do want to come back to Scalar Thompson, who

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought had another really good day today to build

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 2>in his strong camp so far. But back on the

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Ramsey and four notes man and it began the first

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>play of team period when Jalen took on Aaron Brewer

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>a block from Aaron Brewer full pads, and it looked

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>like they were going live at times today. By the way,

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>it was very physical and chippy out there. And he

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 2>beats the block and then goes and pops John news

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Smith on the end around and David Long comes in

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 2>and cleans it up and they start dapping each other up,

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>slapping each other's helmets, screaming in celebration. You just knew

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 2>it was gonna be a day of high intensity and juice.

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 2>And if we get that on Sundays, good night, good

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 2>night to anybody else. And lo and behold we got

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Mo Kamara at the end of practice. And if you

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>heard him in the Draft Time podcast back in June,

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's nobody who's more high intense, high energy

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 2>than he is. So I asked him, these practices are

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>really about the competition, right man.

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 5>It's like the sink.

0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like top tier every day and a real like

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>you know the thing about football, Like you're not always

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna feel well. Like some practices you're not gonna feel well.

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>And I've had practice what I haven't felt with well.

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>But some of these guys, like yesterday wasn't feeling the best.

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>But I saw that Javal and Holland.

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 7>Like streaming and doing whatever he had to do.

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>But that's every day for him. And it's like watching

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>these guys in their competitive nature, you see why those

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>guys are superstars. You see why whatever case may be,

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>but also not just the superstars who are going off

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>every day, the second and third.

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 7>Year guys, you know what I mean, Like.

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.680
<v Speaker 1>You know you're gonna have clips on those guys too,

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>So you know it's not just the star guys that

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 1>are funny with their hair on fires, you know what

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's everybody else too.

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 2>So after that first play, the third play of practice

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 2>among this defensive backfield where he moster gets a beautiful

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 2>bend back lane where he had good lanes cleared up

0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.199
<v Speaker 2>by Robert Jones and Keon Smith, where he pressed the

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 2>offense to the left and then cuts it back inside

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 2>and hits the hole. But down comes number eight Javon

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Holland to put a hat on the football, force the

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 2>fumble and fall on it. And so Javon was all

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 2>over the field. He was fantastic. And I want to

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and play some more audio here for you

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 2>from Brian Duker on Javon Holland and how they can

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 2>maximize his unique skill set as a player.

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't know that it's up to us to unlock

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.679
<v Speaker 4>it as much as give him opportunities to do it.

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 4>Like he certainly has the versatile that you've talked about,

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 4>and I think us it's a more matter of him

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 4>comfortable doing a variety of techniques and then once he

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 4>knows those within the defenses, he just kind of makes

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 4>a match which techniques he's doing, and maybe one play

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 4>he's lined up somewhere you wouldn't expect him to be

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 4>not on a traditional safety role. But the more technique

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 4>he knows he can execute it, I think it makes

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 4>it really easy to do if he's certainly smart enough,

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 4>personal enough to do all those things.

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Next period, they the ones are out there, Kendall Fuller

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 2>runs down the top of an inbreaker and beats the

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 2>receiver to the dart, which is an extended slant but

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>a ten twelve yard slant route well for an incompletion.

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Next play, he comes down off the edge and ends

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 2>up as the forced defender and long arms the tight

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 2>end to keep outside contained. And this is an outside

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 2>linebacker technique or a defensive end technique where you basically

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 2>hold the tight end or the offense the left tackle

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 2>right tackle with one arm and maintain your balance and

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>position and keep them at bay while you keep your

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>outside arm clean so you can shed that block and

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 2>make a tackle should they challenge your outside contained. But

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 2>most frequently the back will see that outside contained there

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and bang that thing up inside. And that's what Kendall

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Fuller forced him to do. I just can't get over

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 2>how connected the coverage really was all day long. I

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 2>can't get over the versatility of Ramsey and Fuller and

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 2>the options that gives the defense, and Javon Holland for

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 2>that matter, Ramsey inside, Cater Kohu outside, Javon Holland creeping

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:54.119
<v Speaker 2>around the box, playing in the post man. It's so multiple,

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 2>And so I asked Brian Douker, what is having all

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>these versatile pieces in your defensive backfield do for the defense?

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 4>What I think that does is the playbook is already

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 4>a very diverse playbook. What that allows us to do

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 4>is present much differently to the offense, but it's all

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 4>the same thing for us. So I think it lets

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 4>us put a lot of window dressing on things that

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.840
<v Speaker 4>we already do, and it doesn't add volume for us,

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.199
<v Speaker 4>but it's only adds volume for opposing offense.

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep it rolling here with one last clip from

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Coach Duker. A main theme of that Ravens defense that

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Weaver came from was the ability to get pressure with

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Hamilton, Arthur Mallett, Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Stevens, any of

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>the eleven guys can come into a time, and if

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 2>you get into a rhythm of calling the game, you

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 2>can make it absolute hell on the opposing quarterback because

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 2>every picture he sees is different, and each time you

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 2>confuse him, it compounds and turns it into an ultimate

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 2>day of stress and anxiety. It's kind of like a

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 2>pitcher in baseball. The idea for an offense, on top

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>of scoring runs, to hopefully get to more runs, is

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 2>you want that pitcher throwing high stress, high leverage pitches.

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, pitches where he's got runners on base, Pitches

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 2>where you know he's deep into the pitch count in

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 2>the inning and you're starting to stress. You know, if

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't make a great pitch right here, this might

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 2>cost my team a run, or maybe he's going to

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 2>get you know, another guy on base. And we're pitching

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 2>from stressful situations. And there's a hint of that idea

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 2>for quarterbacks in the league two with regards to making reads.

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 2>And if you can make it easy on a quarterback

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>and give him stuff that sequences and there's run games

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 2>and easy reads that kind of gets him into the

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 2>flow and can reduce the amount of high level, stressful reads.

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 2>He can play faster and looser, and what this defense

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>did today I thought was kind of compound that confusion

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.199
<v Speaker 2>and really force the quarterbacks to have high stress reps

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.439
<v Speaker 2>on every single rep. And more on that in a

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 2>moment that you guys are gonna want to definitely hear,

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 2>but real quick, here's Coach Duker on the mindset of

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 2>having defensive backs that can not just cover, but also

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 2>impact the passing game through how they rush the quarterback.

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 4>What it allows us to do, is defensive backs is

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 4>alleviate some of the pressure and coverage because there's so

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 4>much worried about the pressure and different guys coming. It

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.719
<v Speaker 4>adds a lot of stress on the offense to get

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 4>the ball out, and you know, it makes them a

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 4>little bit more protection conscious and certainly takes any the

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.080
<v Speaker 4>stress off from the person abouts to that point.

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Elijah Campbell made a play off of a defensive back

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 2>pressure today where Javon Holland came screaming in off the

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 2>corner and enforced to it into a hot throw and

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 2>he undercuts the route and was there for the pick

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>and just flat out dropped it, which got to make

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 2>that play, but shows you Elijah Campbell being in the

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 2>picture once again and coach. Weaver mentioned him as a

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.959
<v Speaker 2>guy by name, not even prompted, as a guy that's

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 2>had a massive camp so far. Thought Marcus may had

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.959
<v Speaker 2>another fantastic run fit from depth once again, something he

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>does essentially every single day. So man, this defense just

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 2>flat out brought it. I couldn't get enough of it.

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and take our first break right there,

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 2>come back on the other side and continue to the

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 2>theme of talking defense. I have some audio from Joe

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Berry that will make us all smarter football fans and

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the impact of veteran leadership in that linebacker room on

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a player like Ezekiel Vanderberg. All of that and so

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 2>much more. I promise you guys don't want to miss

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 2>the rest of this podcast. That's all Next Drive Time,

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 2>your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Autnation, covering

0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.200
<v Speaker 2>the back end on the first segment of the podcast.

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and move up to the second level

0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.199
<v Speaker 2>and the linebackers and a ton of fantastic audio here

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 2>from Joe Barry, Dolphins linebacker coach and run game coordinator.

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>And I can't imagine a better setup for this because

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 2>it was at the end of it myself, Kyle Krabs

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and a guy that's been a linebackers coach in this

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 2>league going back to his legendary Buccaneers defenses where he

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 2>coached Derek Brooks, and the guy that you know coach

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 2>defenses as the guy right the defensive coordinator there in

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Green Bay. So we got this doctorate level PhD football

0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 2>answer for questions asked by two students of the game

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 2>dying for that knowledge. And I'm sure Kyle conveyed that

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 2>on his show today and I'll do the same thing here,

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 2>and we start with the question about the ability to

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 2>expand the defensive menu from the modern game or for

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 2>the modern game, I should say, with the stress of

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.440
<v Speaker 2>speed and the expanded hook zones of this offense can

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>pound the football into with those you know, eighteen yard

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 2>incuts to Tyreek and Waddle where Tua throws it to

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>a spot that intersects with the route right on time

0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 2>and turns into a big run after the catch. With

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 2>all the shells these defenses want to popularize the last

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 2>couple of years to combat the vertical passing game, which

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 2>is essentially you know, expanded by Tyreek and Jalen and

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the Miami Dolphins. But also within that the need for

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 2>linebackers that can do that to get vertical, to get depth,

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 2>but also get downhill in the running game because when

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 2>you play those split high safety looks, that usually invites

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the running game. So it's such a challenging position in

0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>the modern NFL. And coach gave us a great answer

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 2>about the traits required to play linebacker in this league

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 2>that features all that mumbo jumbo I just told you about.

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 5>I think in any defensive system, playing the inside linebacker position,

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 5>it starts with three things. And it's smart, fast, and physical.

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.360
<v Speaker 5>I think you got to be in this day and age,

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 5>with the way offenses are going, with all the different

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 5>formations and movements and styles that you have to defend,

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 5>you got to be smart. I think to play defensive

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 5>football really at any level of football now, it has

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 5>become such a speed game, you know. And to play

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 5>the linebacker position, you know, because we ask our guys

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 5>to do a lot of things.

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 2>They gotta they gotta.

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 5>Cover people from running backs to tight ends to receivers. Uh,

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 5>they got a blitz. So you've got to be able

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 5>to run. And then you know, the final thing is

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 5>and really it's probably the most important thing, is that

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 5>football is and always will be a physical game. So

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.000
<v Speaker 5>you got to be tough, you've got to be nasty,

0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 5>you got to be physical. So and that's the great

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 5>thing about our position, is what you alluded to is

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 5>that we are as linebackers, we're part of the front,

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 5>and then we're also part of the back end. So

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 5>I think that's that's the fun thing about at least

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 5>coaching the position, and I know for the guys playing it,

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 5>but you've got to have those three things and that

0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 5>that's I think for you to be a well rounded

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 5>NFL linebacker. If you're smart, fast, and physical, you know

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.400
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna be able to play in this league.

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 2>And this, you know, I mean Jordan Brooks, Anthony Walker Junior,

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 2>David Long Junior. I mean, that's their entire game. So

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 2>it totally tracks. Two of those guys were brought in

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.679
<v Speaker 2>after the hiring of Joe Berry, so it makes sense

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.679
<v Speaker 2>that's what he prioritizes and identified in David Long as

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.000
<v Speaker 2>a trait or you know, a player that fits all

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.399
<v Speaker 2>those traits. And this, you know, was a theme that

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 2>we covered on the show after the Dolphins were eliminated

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.640
<v Speaker 2>from playoff contention last year or the playoffs, I should say,

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.119
<v Speaker 2>and giving thoughts on the divisional and championship rounds and

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 2>who were the final four teams? Kansas City had Nick Bolton,

0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Drew Trankle, and Willie Gay, Baltimore had Roquan Smith and

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Queen. San Francisco had Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw,

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 2>and Detroit had Jack Campbell and alex Anzeloni. All those

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 2>guys are uber athletic linebackers that can do a little

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:51.919
<v Speaker 2>bit of everything in the NFL. And that might be,

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:55.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's possibly the eight best linebackers that fit

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.240
<v Speaker 2>those categories. And yeah, I'll give you Jordan Brooks and

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.640
<v Speaker 2>David Long and factor in Matt Lano and c. J. Mosley, Like, yeah,

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 2>there's plenty of guys that do that, but that's eight

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.240
<v Speaker 2>of the very best. And there's no surprise to me

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 2>there was multiple of those guys on each of those teams.

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and go back to coach on you

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 2>know those three guys on Long, Walker and Brooks. Here's

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:17.879
<v Speaker 2>coach Barry.

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 5>David's a guy that you know, it's it's crazy to think,

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, I mentioned this the last time I talked

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.399
<v Speaker 5>to you guys as a as a as a coordinator,

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:34.200
<v Speaker 5>which I was, you know, you you learned the entire draft.

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 5>And then now being a position coach, you know, it's

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 5>neat to go back and say, oh, yeah, I remember

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 5>when he came out, or I remember when he was

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 5>a free agent we tried to get him. So with

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.359
<v Speaker 5>with really, with all those guys, With all my guys,

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.400
<v Speaker 5>I've known them and respected them and admired them from

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 5>afar at different places. But to have you know, four

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 5>veteran leaders that have all played a lot of football,

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, David Long, Jordan Brooks, Duke Riley, Anthony Walker,

0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.399
<v Speaker 5>all those guys have have played really good football and

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 5>have have been starters, you know, all four of them.

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:17.480
<v Speaker 5>So I think to have those four guys as kind

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 5>of our core in our room, it's pretty special. And

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.639
<v Speaker 5>then you got a guy like Channing ten Dall, who's

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 5>you know, I still I put in the category. He's

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 5>still a young player, he's going into his third year.

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 5>I tell him all the time, what an advantage for

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 5>him to be around three veteran leaders like that, because

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 5>you talk about, you know how important veteran leadership is.

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.160
<v Speaker 5>Every team doesn't have every team has veterans, but every

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:46.479
<v Speaker 5>team doesn't have veteran leaders. We have that on our

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.080
<v Speaker 5>team and we specifically have it in the linebacker room

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.680
<v Speaker 5>with you know, with with David, Anthony, Jordan and Duke.

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 5>It's pretty special.

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.120
<v Speaker 2>And how about Zeke Vandenberg, who's been fantastic all camp.

0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.399
<v Speaker 2>He also talked about those players and the playerpect on

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 2>having that much leadership in the room around him.

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 3>Jordan Brooks, he's a good friend at this point, this

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:13.679
<v Speaker 3>man of God. Really wise guy Anthony Walker. I've been

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.639
<v Speaker 3>watching his film all summer from OTAs and his feet

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:20.360
<v Speaker 3>are just so clean, and his his reads a lot

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.239
<v Speaker 3>of the split safety stuff that we do. Watching his

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 3>tape really helped me makes some progressions from the spring.

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I'm doing better than I was in

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 3>OTAs just learning from those guys and I mean Duke,

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:40.679
<v Speaker 3>Davey Long, all these guys are just experienced players that

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 3>every day I'm just trying to pick up something from him,

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:47.080
<v Speaker 3>whether it's a walk through practice meetings. There's just a

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.119
<v Speaker 3>lot to learn and learning so much every day. So

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 3>it's a lot of fun.

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:51.359
<v Speaker 2>So to get to Jordan Brooks here and what I've

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:54.439
<v Speaker 2>seen today and really all camp, Long Man, what a

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 2>special talent and what a special leader man like. He

0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 2>was all over the field again today and a big

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 2>part of every aspect rush coverage run game. Yesterday we

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.879
<v Speaker 2>talked about how he deflected a screen pass that showed

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.640
<v Speaker 2>the speed and length that he features, and fittingly enough,

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 2>we have a SoundBite on just that once again from

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Coach Barry.

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 5>But when players have length and allows them to do

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 5>a lot of things, and Jordan not only has length,

0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 5>but he has explosion, he has speed. Those are the

0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.760
<v Speaker 5>things that allow him to be, you know, the playman.

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 5>And that's what play in linebacker is. You know, like

0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 5>we talked about, you got to be equally as productive

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 5>in the run game as you do the pass game.

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.879
<v Speaker 5>And I think his length and speed is something that

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 5>he brings to the table and brings to this defense

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 5>and it's going to be exciting.

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:43.159
<v Speaker 2>And you guys heard Jordan Brooks talk about his leadership

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 2>approach when he was available for media. I forget what

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.240
<v Speaker 2>day it was, might have been Sunday. Really cool story

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 2>that I don't tell these stories because these are kind

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 2>of moments in the building that are you know, captain

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 2>the building. But this is harmless. I think I happen

0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 2>to overhear Jordan Brooks today walk past Small Kamara in

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the lunch line and he was like, he asked him,

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, how's how did today go for you? Rook?

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.440
<v Speaker 2>How'd you feel like it went? And Moe told him

0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:10.199
<v Speaker 2>what he felt about his game and his practice. And

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I just think that type of leadership, you know, it's

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.080
<v Speaker 2>something we heard about in the press conference. I don't

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 2>doubt that he was, you know, being truthful about that,

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.040
<v Speaker 2>but just to hear it play out like that, it

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.000
<v Speaker 2>was a cool moment to see, you know, this the

0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of full circle aspect of that, and to put

0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 2>a bow on all of this with these players, because

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, David Long was all over the field and

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.360
<v Speaker 2>crashed the backfield party a few times in his own right.

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to go ahead and play Coach Barry Audio

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:35.280
<v Speaker 2>here once again on you know, the idea of confusing

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.439
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback and the stress of that second level with

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 2>their ability to both play coverage and rush. Once again,

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:42.520
<v Speaker 2>let's go back to Joe Barry on this question that

0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 2>was asked about the trends of too high and how

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 2>that trickled down what the linebackers have to do with

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 2>the expanded range expectancy of that position.

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.119
<v Speaker 5>I think that this goes into the overall philosophy of

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 5>what defense you are because everyone plays man, everyone plays

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:01.679
<v Speaker 5>split safety, everyone plays single high, whether you know it's

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:05.680
<v Speaker 5>single high zone or single high man. But always it's

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 5>what that pre snap look that you're trying to give

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 5>the quarterback. You know, there's teams that start with a

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.720
<v Speaker 5>single high presentation and then on the snap they very

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 5>easily could play split safety. So I mean, I think

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 5>the biggest thing is that in this day and age

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:25.880
<v Speaker 5>in football, you're trying to confuse the quarterback. You're trying

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 5>to give him, you know, a mentality and a thought

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 5>pre snap and then play something differently. So and we'll

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 5>do both. You know, we'll show single high and play

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 5>all three coverage principles. We'll show split safety and play

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:45.679
<v Speaker 5>different coverage principles. So it's just all in that presentation

0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:47.919
<v Speaker 5>that you want to do to you know, cause a

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:50.360
<v Speaker 5>little bit of pre snap communication for the quarterback.

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Just a really fun day of learning football. Man. Let's

0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and finish up here the linebacker point here

0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 2>with some audio from Zeke Vandenberg, and I asked him

0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:59.199
<v Speaker 2>just about the challenge of getting hurt early in your

0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 2>rookie year and then finally getting a chance to come

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 2>back and play football and showing out and not just that,

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:07.200
<v Speaker 2>but getting so much words of affirmation from your teammates.

0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Last year was a weird year. Right after OTAs, I

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 3>hurt my knee, got surgery, and then I really hadn't

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 3>done anything for the team, for the organization, and they

0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 3>chose to keep me around, and I just had a

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:27.680
<v Speaker 3>lot of gratitude for that and gave me an opportunity

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:31.760
<v Speaker 3>to come back the next year, and so I got

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:35.159
<v Speaker 3>to do OTAs this year, got a whole summer to

0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:38.440
<v Speaker 3>prepare for camp, and it's just been a lot of fun,

0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 3>and I'm really thankful.

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I really love that he talked about the Dolphins investment

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 2>in him and how he kind of thought like that

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:44.680
<v Speaker 2>might be it for me, but they kept him around

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.159
<v Speaker 2>for the entire year. Kind of just a special answer,

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought, there from a guy that is going to

0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:52.439
<v Speaker 2>appreciate and maximize the opportunity he has here as much

0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 2>as anybody else. Let's go ahead and move down off

0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:57.160
<v Speaker 2>the edge as we continue talking defense here, it's been

0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:00.359
<v Speaker 2>That's Brown one week since you looked at me. I

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:02.919
<v Speaker 2>don't think anybody could have foreseen the production of the

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Edge group when you consider the league's best tandem is

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 2>on the sideline for these practices. No Bradley Chubb, No

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Drelen Phillips, who by the way he looks, he looks

0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 2>ready to go to me, along with Cam Good and

0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 2>then Shaq Barrett's retirement on the eve of camp or

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:22.040
<v Speaker 2>a couple days before camp. You wouldn't expect this group

0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 2>to have a lot of production, but lo and behold,

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 2>they have because Quentin Bell again, that's all I'll put there.

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Just he's just been playing with his hair on fire

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:32.359
<v Speaker 2>all camp long. Chop Robinson had a speed to power

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 2>rush and one on ones that got Austin Jackson on skates,

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.280
<v Speaker 2>and there aren't many guys doing that these days. I

0:25:37.320 --> 0:25:39.480
<v Speaker 2>also saw him rush over the guard in that period

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 2>and give the guards issues, which going back to his

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Penn State days, he would be a nosebacker and line

0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:46.120
<v Speaker 2>up in the A gaps and give guys fits that way.

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I just think he's going to give teams problems because

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 2>of pure physical traits, and it might take him some

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 2>time to get everything down from a rundown perspective. Early

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 2>down perspective getting off blocks and all that that might

0:25:58.040 --> 0:25:59.680
<v Speaker 2>take some time that we haven't had a chance to

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:01.439
<v Speaker 2>really get a great look at with a lot of

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:04.199
<v Speaker 2>non padded practices. But you can't tell me there's not

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.479
<v Speaker 2>a specific issue that he can cause. Opposing pass protection

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 2>schemes on obvious passing downs right away from the jump

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:13.920
<v Speaker 2>come be a special talent. I think you know you

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 2>probably with Phillips coming back. I think earlier than sooner

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:20.199
<v Speaker 2>or then later. Sooner than later, I should say, and

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:23.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe not maybe not full go. This is kind of speculative,

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 2>but think about having like a manual Ogbas his kind

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:28.479
<v Speaker 2>of rundown guy, and then maybe Quentin Bell's the rundown

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 2>guy early on. Then you go to chopping JP in

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:33.679
<v Speaker 2>passing situations, just kind of flushing this thing out as

0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:35.880
<v Speaker 2>we get healthier at that spot. I just don't think

0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:37.280
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be as big of a problem as

0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:40.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe you or I even anticipated. As we headed in

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 2>a training camp, I also had Mo Kamara going speed

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 2>to power, splitting blocks, playing fast and physical. Gosh, he

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:49.720
<v Speaker 2>looks impressive too. Do you guys remember when Mo Kamara

0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 2>did a presser back in OTA's Probably not and you

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 2>definitely weren't there to see this, but we talked about

0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 2>it in the press conference. He was studying film on

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.960
<v Speaker 2>his iPad as we approached his table to do this

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:01.440
<v Speaker 2>media availability, and he when we got over there, he

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 2>closed it and did his media availability, and he was like,

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to waste any time. I want to

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 2>get this defense now as fast as I possibly can.

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:08.520
<v Speaker 2>So if I have fifteen seconds to look at a

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 2>play here, I'm gonna do it. So I asked him, Hey,

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:13.119
<v Speaker 2>how's it been going since that day picking up this

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 2>defense to now?

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Much much, much much.

0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 7>You know, Coach Crowe, Coach Beeve, they do a great

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:24.199
<v Speaker 7>job of getting pushing information to us, pushing information to off.

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:27.240
<v Speaker 7>Also this our assistant coach Ryan, he does a.

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Great job of They do a great job of even

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:31.440
<v Speaker 1>if you do have a question in stopping and give

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 1>you that one on one feedback and.

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Stuff like that.

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:36.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's been really, really well.

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 2>And Mo had an awesome play where he blew up

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:39.760
<v Speaker 2>the tight end. It was Hayden Rouchie that the Wisconsin

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.399
<v Speaker 2>rookie and forced the back to bubble two wide to

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 2>make any yards again. Bubbles when you extend your track

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 2>back towards your own goal line, which allows pursuit to

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 2>get there. And in the National Football League, if you

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.640
<v Speaker 2>bubble at all, pursuit arrives, and he's really getting after

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:56.200
<v Speaker 2>it in the run game on top of his rush.

0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 2>So I gave you four names with Agbah, Quentin Bell, JP,

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:02.119
<v Speaker 2>and Chop Robinson. I think Mo Kamara is right there,

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 2>and I think Grayson Murphy is right there. And speaking

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:06.720
<v Speaker 2>of Grays and Murphy, he had a play today this

0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 2>once again, and I asked Ryan Crow, Dolphins outside linebackers coach,

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:13.199
<v Speaker 2>about how he's fitting in, and he said something that

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:14.960
<v Speaker 2>was confirmation to me. He said, you know, you watched

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:16.960
<v Speaker 2>the UCLA defense last year. They did a lot of

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:19.120
<v Speaker 2>stuff that we want to do. And it's true, lots

0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:21.840
<v Speaker 2>of games and condensed rushers from the outside coming inside.

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Just a good compliment of Grays and Murphy's skill set

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 2>and how I think it benefits him here. All right,

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:29.240
<v Speaker 2>let's go ahead and take our last break right there,

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 2>and we'll finish up on the offensive side. No quarterback talk.

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Two segments in. Who is this guy behind the microphone?

0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 2>Are you even Travis Wingfield? Yeah, it's me. How do

0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 2>you like that? We'll do that next, and all the

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 2>offense and a couple more notes on defense, mostly in

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>extra points form. That's all next, along with Orange Jersey

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Predictions Draft on podcast to your host Travis Wingfield, brought

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 2>to you by Atnation, I said I would get back

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 2>to Skyler, and here is that promise. Let's go back

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 2>to Scyler Thompson, Dolphins quarterback, who talked about the way

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:02.360
<v Speaker 2>he's seeing it better his third year into the system, you.

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 6>Know, not thinking about the little tedious things of the offense.

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:08.360
<v Speaker 6>It kind of is the second nature to me in

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 6>some way. Shapes or form just allows allows me to

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 6>play faster, you know, I feel like and that's what

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:16.120
<v Speaker 6>I felt so far this camp. And you know, just

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 6>being able to move on to the second third level

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 6>things with this offense, you know, not just learning the

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:24.719
<v Speaker 6>formations and shift trades and emotions all that type of stuff,

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 6>Like you know that stuff pretty well now. So it's

0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 6>it's being able to expand on that and really being

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 6>able to grow and truly what the system is.

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 2>And I wanted to play that because to me, it

0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:35.640
<v Speaker 2>shows I've been talking about it all camp long. Replacing

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Blitz is with the football that's seeing it the ball's

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 2>coming out hot. He's been more productive. There's you know,

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:43.360
<v Speaker 2>the rookie year tape where you kind of get it

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 2>frustrated by the ball being held onto for too long.

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 2>It's not games yet, but I don't see that happening,

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:50.520
<v Speaker 2>and it makes me very excited. And I gotta say this.

0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:53.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, it was Tua who kind of had what

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 2>an old schylar practice might have looked like in terms

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:58.720
<v Speaker 2>of the football, you know, not getting out and here's

0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 2>the caveat and some inside Bay why you should not

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:04.160
<v Speaker 2>trust play by play pactice reports, even from myself who

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 2>don't know these types of things going into it. The

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 2>practice was called for a lot of play calls that

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 2>asked a lot of the quarterback, particularly against coverages that

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:16.160
<v Speaker 2>weren't beneficial to him. And I saw, you know, I

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:19.800
<v Speaker 2>think it was was Kevin Clark from Omaha Productions who

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:23.959
<v Speaker 2>had a great riff on the downfall of social media

0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:29.440
<v Speaker 2>and the overall dumbing down of football audiences through aggregation websites.

0:30:29.760 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 2>He talked about how Patrick Mahomes' first year was used

0:30:33.120 --> 0:30:34.959
<v Speaker 2>for sharpening his game what he can get away with,

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 2>and he threw like seven picks in the first four

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:39.240
<v Speaker 2>days of practice as a rookie, where Aaron Rodgers saying

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 2>that that's his time of year to try to really

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>maximize and take chances and see what he can get

0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 2>away with or which receivers he can trust to be

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:48.160
<v Speaker 2>in certain spots, because the location of the football in

0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 2>a practice isn't going to kill you if it's off

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:53.200
<v Speaker 2>in those situations. And I think that applies here to

0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:55.440
<v Speaker 2>what Tua went through today. And one of the you know,

0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 2>the best quarterbacks in the league is as they use

0:30:57.240 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 2>these practices to really stretch the envelope and find out

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:02.440
<v Speaker 2>what they can do and get away with. And you know,

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 2>if the play call that he had was against the

0:31:05.080 --> 0:31:08.640
<v Speaker 2>coverage that wasn't beneficial, stay with those looks, even if

0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:10.520
<v Speaker 2>the look wasn't a good one, like you're throwing into

0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:13.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, oh, if we're going to run this this cross,

0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 2>this deep bender against cover three, well, if he flattens

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 2>that over route into the you know deep third, there's

0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 2>a guy for that. There's a defender for that. If

0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 2>he keeps the bender on the post, there's a middle

0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 2>field safety for that. But let's go ahead and run

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:27.040
<v Speaker 2>it anyways and see what it looks like. Put it

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 2>on tape and we can maybe better improvise from that look.

0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:32.240
<v Speaker 2>So rather than getting out of the play, let's put

0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 2>it on tape and see how we can sharpen our

0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 2>reeds and quickness which by which we process. So the

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:39.640
<v Speaker 2>two offense had a lot of coverage sacks, again going

0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:42.080
<v Speaker 2>back to that Ramsey and fuller portion of the show,

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's okay. It's it's okay to get

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 2>some stuff on tape where two it can dissect tough

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:49.040
<v Speaker 2>looks and get better from it. Because again, that's training camp.

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:51.360
<v Speaker 2>It's not about how many yards you throw for out

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:54.640
<v Speaker 2>here on practice. No one cares about preseason stats. What

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 2>was two preseason stats last year? And but remember them?

0:31:56.920 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 2>But you don't. I don't either practice stats. Definitely remember that.

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 2>But Tua was in the orange jersey after being absolutely

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:08.120
<v Speaker 2>diabolically surgical and I use those that term, you know,

0:32:09.000 --> 0:32:11.960
<v Speaker 2>emphatically on Thursday because he was. And this tells me

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:14.080
<v Speaker 2>that Tua will come out tomorrow at the stadium and

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:16.120
<v Speaker 2>put on an absolute show. Now, all of that said,

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 2>he did have a twenty yard rip to waddle, had

0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 2>some really good decisions in the short game in terms

0:32:20.360 --> 0:32:22.720
<v Speaker 2>of not there up top, not there vertically check this

0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:25.320
<v Speaker 2>thing down to Raheem Moster, to Jonan Smith, to Devon

0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 2>ah Chan and pick up some yards. He did throw

0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 2>a couple of picks, but there was one deep shot

0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 2>that was in a kind of like hell Mary situation

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:34.160
<v Speaker 2>where the pressure was in. It was like his third

0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 2>or fourth read, and by the time he let this

0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:38.360
<v Speaker 2>thing go, Tyreek was already forty five yards downfield. And

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 2>if you ever see Tyreek run a deep route and

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 2>catch a touchdown for this team, if he's going to

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>catch a vertical route to what has to throw it

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.640
<v Speaker 2>by like by no more than twenty yards downfield. Usually

0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 2>it's ten or fifteen yards downfield. But if you kind

0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 2>of lose it the forty five and the ball takes

0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:54.360
<v Speaker 2>four seconds to get there, that means Tyreek is now

0:32:54.440 --> 0:32:57.080
<v Speaker 2>ninety yards away, which no quarterback and throw the football

0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.040
<v Speaker 2>that far. So this ball hung up there and Ethan

0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Bonner got back there for a So just something to

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:03.040
<v Speaker 2>keep in mind from context. You know, they sometimes they

0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:06.560
<v Speaker 2>run these end of half situation stuff where it's either

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:09.880
<v Speaker 2>incomplete throw it away, or maybe you try a window

0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:12.080
<v Speaker 2>and you throw a pick end of half, because who

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 2>cares if you throw a pick. It's the same thing

0:33:13.440 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 2>as you know, the clock running out. And I saw

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:17.200
<v Speaker 2>a couple of fans like throwing their hands up today

0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 2>because two was throwing the ball away on a drill

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 2>where it was midfield. Fifteen seconds, no timeouts left, end

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 2>of the first half. We need to get the ball

0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:28.480
<v Speaker 2>advanced and then kill it with a clock play to

0:33:28.520 --> 0:33:30.040
<v Speaker 2>have a chance at a field goal. And if it's

0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:32.240
<v Speaker 2>not there, if your first read is not there, take

0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:34.200
<v Speaker 2>a sack. The half's over throw it away and he

0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:36.360
<v Speaker 2>would do that, and I saw hands going up, like

0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 2>just look at the scoreboard. That's all you have to do.

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's go a little bit faster here, extra points to

0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:42.880
<v Speaker 2>close the podcast out as we are approaching the thirtieth

0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:44.840
<v Speaker 2>minute or probably over it a little bit by now.

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Wright, he's nice, dude, He is nice. I cannot

0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:50.960
<v Speaker 2>wait to watch him in game action. He hits the

0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:54.240
<v Speaker 2>gap with so much conviction and it's quick like once

0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:56.719
<v Speaker 2>that gap opens, he's in it full speed and then

0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 2>he drops his shoulder or gets skinny. And I saw

0:33:59.040 --> 0:34:01.400
<v Speaker 2>him lower a shoulder on Marcus May and pushed him

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:04.000
<v Speaker 2>a good five yards back before slowing down. I thought

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Willie Sneed's release package looked very, very polished. That's a

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:09.720
<v Speaker 2>good sign. I think he's obviously here for some depth

0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:11.560
<v Speaker 2>options and a received room that's a little bit banged

0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 2>up right now. Julian Hill had another really good day.

0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:17.319
<v Speaker 2>You just feel his physicality off the edge. We do

0:34:17.440 --> 0:34:19.800
<v Speaker 2>have two soundbites from him to roll here real quick. First,

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:22.320
<v Speaker 2>the question was what did last year teach you about

0:34:22.320 --> 0:34:24.200
<v Speaker 2>this year? And this play is nicely off of the

0:34:24.280 --> 0:34:27.759
<v Speaker 2>John Embrey comments from yesterday about what a first year

0:34:27.800 --> 0:34:30.000
<v Speaker 2>player does compared to a second year player. Let's go

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 2>ahead and listen in the.

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:33.360
<v Speaker 8>Details of the game last year. I'm just trying to

0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:36.399
<v Speaker 8>run my route right, Coach says, running out route. I'm

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:38.440
<v Speaker 8>running the out route. Coach says, block this guy. I'm

0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:40.759
<v Speaker 8>just blocking this guy. But now I'm understanding, Okay, what

0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:43.360
<v Speaker 8>the second second level doing if I have inside leverage

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:44.920
<v Speaker 8>too hot? Shelle, Now I know it's a little pit

0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:46.960
<v Speaker 8>instade level two. Man, how I'm gonna win on the

0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:49.560
<v Speaker 8>top of the route. When to win late in the drive,

0:34:49.600 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 8>win early in the drive? You know what I mean.

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:53.120
<v Speaker 8>So it's just none of all the intrinsing details, because

0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:54.879
<v Speaker 8>that's what I think makes you a really good player

0:34:54.880 --> 0:34:55.440
<v Speaker 8>at this level.

0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:58.279
<v Speaker 2>I also wanted to ask Julian about his perspective in

0:34:58.320 --> 0:35:01.360
<v Speaker 2>a kind of unique situation that he runs that nobody

0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:04.160
<v Speaker 2>else besides the other tight ends and alec Ingol runs

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 2>where he comes across the formation and that jet motion

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:09.319
<v Speaker 2>and then has that wrap block off the edge where

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:12.080
<v Speaker 2>he contains the defensive end. And he gave me great

0:35:12.120 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 2>perspective on that. What's your perspective going into those blocks

0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 2>back to the Dolphins tight end for sure.

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:19.080
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's just you know, staying on your angles, staying

0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:21.719
<v Speaker 8>with good pad level. You know, most of the time

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:23.960
<v Speaker 8>edge defenders they have one job and that's to you know,

0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.000
<v Speaker 8>keep containing. So he just knowing that you can meet

0:35:26.000 --> 0:35:27.880
<v Speaker 8>them at a certain angle and just staying on your

0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:30.439
<v Speaker 8>angle with you know, good pad level just like anything else.

0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:32.719
<v Speaker 8>You know, low man's gonna win on the edge and

0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:34.560
<v Speaker 8>just you know, having that mindset to be physical, be

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 8>nasty as Embo likes to call it, and you know,

0:35:37.320 --> 0:35:37.600
<v Speaker 8>win to.

0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Play all right, More quick points. Brayln Sanders has had

0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:41.960
<v Speaker 2>a very nice week. Kind of a nice catch on

0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:44.360
<v Speaker 2>a deep throw over the middle from Mike White today.

0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I thought Rob Jones was fantastic, and he's had a

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:48.480
<v Speaker 2>really good week at camp as well, and continues to

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:51.239
<v Speaker 2>progress towards a possible starting opportunity if that, if that

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.080
<v Speaker 2>makes itself available. His relationship between his hands and his

0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:56.359
<v Speaker 2>feet like he's always chopping his feet and the hand

0:35:56.400 --> 0:35:59.919
<v Speaker 2>punch looks you know, fast and intentional. He he goes

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:02.080
<v Speaker 2>gets his block too. He's been picking up the different

0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:04.279
<v Speaker 2>games and going out and finding the looper before they

0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:06.759
<v Speaker 2>have a chance to angle around that corner and build

0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:08.879
<v Speaker 2>up speed. He goes and gets it. And he's also

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 2>played with an edge. I thought Rob Jones had a

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:13.160
<v Speaker 2>really good day on the offensive line. Thought Aaron Brewer

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:15.840
<v Speaker 2>had another fantastic day, really clean past that to continues

0:36:15.840 --> 0:36:18.720
<v Speaker 2>to get outside on some wide runs. I thought Lester

0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Cotton got some good surge in the running game today.

0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:22.719
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned that to Kyle, like, I don't know Less

0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 2>was having a good day today. He said, well, yeah

0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:25.440
<v Speaker 2>it is. You know, he is going against you know,

0:36:25.480 --> 0:36:27.880
<v Speaker 2>certain threes and four, so that's something to you know,

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:31.080
<v Speaker 2>think about some defenders I forgot about. Zach Seeler had

0:36:31.120 --> 0:36:33.520
<v Speaker 2>a sack and his effort just always is on display.

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Also an absolute one on one pass rush clinic from

0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Steeler today, Deshan Han did a good job pushing the

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:41.759
<v Speaker 2>pocket pretty consistently. I felt Jonathan Harris had a sack

0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:43.959
<v Speaker 2>in team drills. He's really picked it up the last

0:36:43.960 --> 0:36:46.320
<v Speaker 2>five or six days or so. And then saran Neil

0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:49.719
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned this to Kyle, Are we sure he's just

0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 2>a special teams guy? Because he makes plays at cornerback

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:56.040
<v Speaker 2>every day and there's a real intensity to him. And

0:36:56.120 --> 0:36:58.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, Kyle told me that Joe Marino, locked on

0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Bill's podcast Friend of Our Podcast, said that he would

0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:03.200
<v Speaker 2>go up to camp every year and be like, all right,

0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited to see more reps from saran Neil at cornerback,

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:07.719
<v Speaker 2>and they wouldn't do it. And he said that he

0:37:07.719 --> 0:37:09.560
<v Speaker 2>would talk to the coaching staff, you know, at Media

0:37:09.560 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Availabilities and like, well, he's so valuable to us on

0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 2>special teams that it's more of a break glass, you know,

0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:17.239
<v Speaker 2>in case of emergency. And maybe that's what they view

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 2>it here. I don't know. I don't know the thinking there,

0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 2>but when I watch him play cornerback, he looks really

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:25.359
<v Speaker 2>damn good. Actually, last one here, So Jason Miitre had

0:37:25.360 --> 0:37:27.719
<v Speaker 2>a run stuff today. Another pick in one on ones.

0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:29.840
<v Speaker 2>That's two picks in two days, and one on ones

0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:32.000
<v Speaker 2>in a drill that is designed for the offense to

0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:35.120
<v Speaker 2>make the defense look silly, very fun day. Let's do

0:37:35.200 --> 0:37:38.040
<v Speaker 2>some rough days real quick. Austin Jackson wasn't his best day,

0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:40.040
<v Speaker 2>but he's been a good all camp long, so not

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:42.359
<v Speaker 2>concerned about that at all. Jaquan Burton had a couple

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:45.120
<v Speaker 2>of drops, bracks and barrios. Just there's not the extra

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:48.239
<v Speaker 2>gear there on the vertical shots, and it's they've been

0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:49.880
<v Speaker 2>so close to some deep balls from two of the

0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:52.959
<v Speaker 2>just didn't quite get reeled down by the receiver trying

0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:56.440
<v Speaker 2>to accelerate through that. Hayden Roucchie, Andrew Meyer, Ryan Hayes,

0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Ethan Bonner, and Patrick mc morris were all guys that

0:37:58.880 --> 0:38:00.520
<v Speaker 2>were kind of getting picked on. My it's a little

0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:04.520
