WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Buccaneers Preseason Week 3 Recap

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>To remove Dylan Deep Speedliss.

0:00:05.720 --> 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 1>This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield.

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>He's got my avans in the playoffs. What is up Dolphins?

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. I am your host,

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Travis Wingfield. And on today's show.

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>The preseason is over.

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 2>I never thought I'd be one to celebrate the end

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 2>of the exhibition season, but I am ready for regular

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 2>season Miami Dolphins football. We'll go through the whole thing tonight,

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the loss in Tampa Bay, some general thoughts, some stats,

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 2>some hits and misses, and audio from coach as we

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 2>go across this final game of the exhibition season from

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the Time podcast, Aye daffe.

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Our last time doing statistics on a preseason game until

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 2>next August. The Dolphins fall twenty four to fourteen in

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Tampa Bay, and the final numbers, as they usually are

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 2>this time of year, are not super pretty. Both teams

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.119
<v Speaker 2>had fifteen first downs, but Miami was three for twelve

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 2>on third down and the Bucks were one for ten.

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 2>The Bucks did go three for three on fourth downs

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 2>compared to Miami's one for four. Miami out gains Tampa

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Bay across the board total yards three twenty to two ninety,

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 2>passing two eighteen to one ninety five, and rushing one

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 2>oh two to ninety five. The Dolphins turned it over once,

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 2>they were sacked once, did not get a takeaway, and

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>did not get a sack, and they had eight penalties for.

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Sixty yards on the night.

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Some general thoughts here about this game, and this podcast

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>is going to be relatively quick. We will do the

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 2>roster predictions, uh, the fifty three man roster prediction on Monday.

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I actually already wrote that out and probably have a

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>couple of changes to make to that before it goes

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>out to you good people, including potentially at the quarterback position.

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>And I hate to have one game kind of make

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 2>the decision for me, but it kind of seems clear

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 2>at this point where it's going to go. And I

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 2>wrote this whole thing for the show on Monday, and

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to contemplate whether or not I do it

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 2>or pull it back and change my approach because I

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 2>thought Mike White was going to win this quarterback job

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and now I'm not so sure because it was tough

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 2>for him out there, and he had more ones than

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Skyler had to work with, and he had some twos

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>and Skyler had that in the second quarter when he

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>came in with about seven minutes to go in that

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>second quarter, and I kind of had the feeling that

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 2>that was to give him a look with some players

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>that you're going to see on Sundays this year opposed

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>to practice squad and guys that will, you know, inevitably

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>be cut in a couple of days here when we

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 2>get the cut down day. And you know, Mike did

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 2>go against some ones for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 2>speaking of those ones, blocking vita Vea was a point

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 2>of conversation for the Dolphins heading into the week, and

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.679
<v Speaker 2>he made that look like he does for everybody else

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>in the National Football League.

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Thou shalt not pass.

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 2>And I know of that from Jason Siegel from Forgetting

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Sarah Marshall when he's you know, wasting away his life

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>in his apartment compared to his girlfriend Sarah Marshall on

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 2>the show. Being a celebrity, an A list celebrity in

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>the acting world.

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>But that's what Vitavea is. He is.

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>You do not get penetration. In fact, he takes you

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>back where he's needed it all night long. And so

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it's worth mentioning that Antoine Winfield was out

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>there for the Bucks. The entire group of ones for

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>the Bucks was out there both ways, and the quarterback

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>battle went very drastically tonight in the favor of Scalar Thompson.

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>With Mike, you know, I thought it was tough to

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 2>see what he's dealing with. And this is why I

0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>want to kind of take some time to go over

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the film before I make any final declarations here, because

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>to me, it was just out of rhythm or he

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>would hit the top of the drop, and there wasn't

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of conviction as to where the ball was

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>supposed to go on schedule. And we heard from Mike

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>McDaniel earlier this week talking about how he doesn't need

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 2>to see these quarterbacks throwing to wide open receivers, which

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>this offense has a way of generating that through its scheme,

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 2>and I think that maybe they carried that over into

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 2>the game action and then when you look at the

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 2>receivers and one of my biggest complaints about the entire

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three operation was in critical games and critical moments,

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>trying to get wins from Cedric Wilson and from Braxon Barrios,

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>and from Durham Smyth, and from Robbie Chosen and from

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Chase Claypool. And that's why I thought it was so

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 2>imperative to go out and get Johnny Smith and Odell

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Beckham Junior, and Malik Washington and Jalen Wright and get

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>an expanded role from Devon A Chan because that five

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 2>sounds a lot better than the other five I just

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>gave you. And that was the case, I think again

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>tonight for Mike White. But again I can't say that

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 2>for certainly because I didn't have a chance to watch

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 2>it on film. I hate broadcast angles. They show you

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>five yards down the field, which takes away every you know,

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>pretty much every route in the progression that's not a

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>checkdown or a hookup, and so you couldn't see that,

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>And I couldn't see if it was lack of separation

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.720
<v Speaker 2>or a shifting picture from good disguise from the defense

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 2>in preseason.

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm inclined to assume the latter is not the case.

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you're going to roll out your entire

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>defensive you know, schematics in a preseason game, but I

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 2>cannot say that for sure.

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>It just looked a lot tougher for.

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Him to get anything going than it did last week

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 2>against the Commanders. Skyler, on the other hand, did a

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>bunch of stuff in the opposite direction of.

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>What I thought.

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 2>He kind of was who he had become or who

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 2>he was at this point of his career, and maybe

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.280
<v Speaker 2>he can grow, maybe he can get better. I had

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 2>those thoughts early in camp. I kind of put him

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 2>off to the side. I think I haven't played a

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:03.039
<v Speaker 2>sound drop saying was done with the evaluation there. But

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 2>he played one of his best games, and not just

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 2>from a statistics standpoint, which were good obviously in this game,

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>but he had that little bit of creativity that I

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>think endeared himself to the coaching staff and Mike McDaniel

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>and to the fans certainly. But I was more impressed

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 2>with the reps where he was playing on schedule, and

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 2>that's what I'm referring to with you know, Mike White

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>and the offense looking disjointed because Skyler hit the top

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 2>of the drop, the ball came out. That first shot

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 2>to Anthony Schwartz was a good example of that. The

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 2>touchdown to Rouchie in the second quarter was a good

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 2>example of that. I liked that throw to McGowan before

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 2>the McGowan touchdown where he was I thought a tad

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 2>bit late, but he mitigated that with reaching back from

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 2>some extra mustard and finding that seventh inning ninety eight

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 2>milllion hour fastball.

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>You need to put down the New.

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>York Yankee slugger with rons and scoring position, right like,

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 2>that's the you're gonna find your best fastball tonight, and

0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I thought Scylar Thompson found it on that throw, and

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>of course the touchdown outside on the perimeter moving out

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 2>of the pocket as well back to mcgallan. Really good

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 2>stuff there from Scalar Thompson. Let's go ahead and hear

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 2>from coach McDaniel, who addressed this quarterback battle after tonight's

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty four to fourteen loss by the Bay.

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think Scaler did a great job tonight.

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 3>I think in terms of you know, the we have

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of information to take in. I'm not in

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 3>any position to name fifty three man rosters and or

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 3>backup quarterbacks or anything. I just I thought that he

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 3>was competitive and and it was made some plays, you know,

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 3>and kind of got us going tonight.

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 2>And I full transparency, I've been hard on the player

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 2>because the tape tells me to be hard on the player.

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 2>But there's nothing I want more than this team to

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 2>develop a viable quarterback beyond tow a toungo by Low

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 2>because it helps make preseason games more watchable, but more importantly,

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 2>it gives you someone to come off the bench in

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 2>a critical game that matters and make a difference if

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 2>you need it. And beyond that, if Tua becomes an

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 2>ironman of some sort, maybe you get some high draft

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 2>capital in return. The only outcome of finding good quality

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>quarterback play beyond your starter is positive outcomes, and so

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 2>that's what I want. And if Skylar can become that guy,

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm all for it. I just don't think the tape

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 2>has shown that so far. But here's what coach mcdanig

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 2>had to say about Skyler and the growth that he's

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 2>seen from him from year one to year three. And

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 2>coach has the same thoughts that I do with regards

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 2>to There's some creativity there, which is great, but the

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 2>next part is traying the craft and learning how to

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 2>play the position from the pocket and win from the

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 2>spot where you have to win from in this league.

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 3>He got the opportunity to play early in his career,

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 3>and you know, I thought, you know, as a as

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 3>a rookie, he demonstrated some aggressiveness and ability to make

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 3>plays in this league, and then it's been about, you know,

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 3>since then, you know, training his craft, really owning the

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 3>quarterback position within the offense. And I thought, he, uh,

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 3>this preseason, preseason, he's exhibited growth in what that means.

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:22.079
<v Speaker 3>It means you are the leader of the unit that

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 3>you have to orchestrate, uh, play calls, uh, decision making,

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 3>all all of those things. And I thought, he's uh,

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 3>he he took a good step forward tonight.

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 2>Let's finish up the first segment here talking about another

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 2>position group that we're gonna look at very closely over

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 2>the coming days. And it's the entire battle on the

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 2>offensive line, which coach talked about leam Miikenberg in that

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>press conference, and it's that's your right guard.

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's what it's gonna be going into

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the season.

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.839
<v Speaker 2>I had a bit of a conversation with Seth and

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Juice in the radio about how I don't see it

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 2>that way. I just I don't understand it. I know

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 2>that that's gonna be the react on Twitter as well.

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I do in this situation ultimately put my faith in

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Mike McDaniel's coaching staff, because what other example do you

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.680
<v Speaker 2>have to not trust them and have faith in them

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>with regards to said player. So that's what it sounds like,

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I thought for this offensive line without Leam Mikenberg, and

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 2>for guys like Rob Jones and Lester Cotton, who are

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 2>still I think in contention for starting jobs, especially the

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.680
<v Speaker 2>left guard position with Rob Jones, I don't think Lester

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Cotton's in the running after tonight's performance, or maybe wasn't

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>at all in consideration when you factor in Aaron Brewer's

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 2>imminent return with Eichenberg kicking back to the right guard position,

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>and you know, again I've made Gandalf jokes all week

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 2>about Vida Veya. That was the case tonight, and he

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 2>had that tackle for Lost Rapper. He just took Jack

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Driscoll down to Sarasota, which is about forty five minutes

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.199
<v Speaker 2>south of Tampa, and got the tackle in the backfield

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 2>a little bit closer to Fort Myers, which is another

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.079
<v Speaker 2>hour or so south of that, and he does that

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>to Travis Frederick and his prime. He doesn't have to

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 2>create Humphrey like he does it to everybody. There's no

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>one in the link that can block that guy one

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 2>on one. So it's not an accurate measuring stick to

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 2>talk about Vida Veya as the guy you have to

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 2>be because no one beats that guy. But for Jack

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Driscoll at center didn't work out for him there he

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 2>played some right tackles. Well, I don't think that's his spot.

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 2>I think Jack Driscoll is a right guard. In fact,

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I think he's the best right guard on the roster

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 2>rate now. But tonight it was rough for him bouncing

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 2>across the offensive line. But he was dressed and Liam

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 2>was not, and that tells you something. I thought it

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 2>was up and down for Rob Jones, but I love

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 2>it when he pulls to the play side and runs power.

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 2>And he's told me he feels more comfortable playing in

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 2>this system. And the Dolphins did run some power in

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the game. I thought looked it looked pretty good. And

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 2>that was his best block of the night was that

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 2>pull and seal. And they also got good down blocks

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 2>on that rep from Driscoll and Hayes, but Lester Cotton

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get connected to the second level and ran right

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 2>through a linebacker that would have hooked up for a

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 2>critical third down conversion and then some for Jeff Wilson,

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 2>but he missed it, which was the case all year

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 2>last year at that right guard possession when Robert Hunt

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 2>was not available, which was for like half the season,

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.440
<v Speaker 2>So that was frustrating. I hope we don't get back

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 2>to that point again. A couple injuries away from that

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 2>probably be in the case. But it just kind of

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 2>shows you how critical it is to hit all the

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 2>blocks to make those plays happen. On those run plays

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 2>where you can get five or six, but if you

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 2>hit one more block, you can make it fifteen, twenty,

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe even sixty yards for a touchdown. I just don't

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 2>see it with Lester, I really don't. I don't think

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 2>drist Goal is anything but a guard. It was a

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 2>rough night for Andrew Meyer early on. I thought Byron

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Matt Thows got on there for one snap when Hayes

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.719
<v Speaker 2>got hurt and got his butt kicked. Hayes kind of

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 2>got his butt kicked too. I am glad Patrick Paul

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>got almost three full games of reps, and though I

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 2>thought his second and third game were up and down

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 2>at best, at best, tonight it was up and down.

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I think there was a lot more encouraging than there

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>was out and out losses because you kind of could

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>piece together the physical marvel that he is. And they

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 2>told you this when I drafted him. Even when it's

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 2>not right, he still scores wins and it's not right

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.599
<v Speaker 2>all the time. Right now, it's getting better, and it

0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 2>will get better. I hope he can just kind of

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>red shirt this season and maybe go play some extra

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 2>offensive lineman reps and block some guys in the running game.

0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.319
<v Speaker 2>But because he had another one of those where he

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 2>got in space and put a huge block on the

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 2>corner on a Jillen Right run. He had some really

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.199
<v Speaker 2>good reaction reps on all little delayed blitz where he

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 2>squeezed inside and had the eyes to get back outside

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 2>to see the looper and pick him up right there.

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.079
<v Speaker 2>I thought Chasing Hines and Matthew Jones had two of

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>the better nights. I like seeing the way they reacted

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 2>to blitzes and games and showed you how they could,

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, really pick up what was coming at them

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.800
<v Speaker 2>and that's good for young players obviously. So the offensive

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.560
<v Speaker 2>line still needs some sorting out. But I'm not going

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 2>to argue again for the twelfth time this month that

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 2>it's just not gonna matter all that much at the

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 2>end of the day. But that's the evaluation on tonight.

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll see what the lineup looks like come week one.

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I think we have a preak good idea. It's probably

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna be Armstead, Jones, Brewer, Eikenberg and Jackson, is my guess,

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 2>but we'll see.

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and close the second.

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 2>We're out here with coach McDaniel, who was asked about

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the interior line play on either side of the football.

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Is specifically with this this past joint practice and you know,

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of counterbalancing the work that we did a year

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 3>ago against Atlanta versus what we did this this year.

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 3>I've been very, very happy with their technical development. Really,

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 3>both groups have had a ton of a ton of development.

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 3>There's there's more depth than than uh I think people

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 3>really appreciate, and there there's a lot of technical growth

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 3>which is huge in both phases on or on both

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 3>sides of the ball. For what we do, we we

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 3>ask guys to be technicians and to commit to certain

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 3>techniques that other players are depending on and trying to

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 3>play off of. So I you know, I thought there

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 3>was a It's been a really good training camp for

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 3>both of those units, specifically interior.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>We will talk about the roster and the construction of

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 2>it and on Monday's podcast, and one of the points

0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to make is I think the depth on

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 2>this year's football team is a lot better, which given

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 2>the injury histories of the last two seasons and what

0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing already in this month with a lot of

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 2>backups being nicked up and hurt for a long period

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 2>of time, I think that will prove beneficial to the

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins in the long run. But we'll do that more

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 2>on the Monday edition of the Draft Time podcast. Let's

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and take our first break rate there. Come

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 2>back on the other side. I have two more general thoughts.

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 2>We have some more soundbites from coach McDaniel. We'll talk

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>about the individuals that popped and the ones that missed.

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 2>All that next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>brought to you by Auto Nation. My first two general

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 2>takeaways were the quarterback shakedown and the offensive line look.

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 2>And the other thing I wrote down here is that

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I thought the Bucks' first team offense looked like you'd

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 2>expect a first team offense, and it seemed to me

0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty clear they had a goal in mind to get

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 2>out there and run something of a regular season type

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 2>of script. And I a lot of the Dolphins for

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 2>this as well, you know, saying that the two best

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 2>elements of this team are things that we don't really

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 2>see in camp, in the scheme, and we saw it

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 2>last week when they had their running quarterback, and you know,

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 2>the modern preseason, get the ball out quick, try to

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 2>get them into a regular season rhythm, go score points,

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 2>and get the heck out of there and move on

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.480
<v Speaker 2>to the next week of practice. And I thought their

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 2>ability to run the football early with their ones got

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 2>them really good displacement on our guys with lateral displacement

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 2>in the running game, and then they score or they

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>run screen boot play action game off of that, it

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of confused our guys. They kind of got after

0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 2>a couple of players like Chop Robinson early on, and

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 2>they executed with their ones against largely Miami's twos to

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 2>kick things off, and that was expected. I think you

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 2>expect that for most teams across the National Football League.

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Last thing here is I thought was really cool for

0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 2>John Embry to get the head coaching opportunity. It was

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 2>cool to see him get the team going a little

0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 2>bit there in the second half in Jeck some energy

0:16:58.240 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 2>into the team in the third quarter and get the

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 2>doll back within three points. Saw him really getting after

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.879
<v Speaker 2>some guys Hayden Ruchie got an earfull at one point,

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.240
<v Speaker 2>and I love their bounce back after a tough start

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>in that game. And Seth Levitt from the Fish Tank

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Podcast had a great bit on our radio show after

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.200
<v Speaker 2>the game where he was talking about this concept of

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 2>allowing somebody else to step up and be a head coach,

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 2>and he had heard some chatter about this is the

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.200
<v Speaker 2>same thing that Cam Cameron did, and he made a

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 2>great point about how when Cam Cameron did it, he

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 2>had zero games of his coaching to his resume. He

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.200
<v Speaker 2>had never coached an NFL game before, and the two

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.679
<v Speaker 2>guys he gave coaching opportunities too had a combine to

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:39.120
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty games as head coaches in Mike

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Malarkey and Dom Capers. What the hell are we doing,

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.120
<v Speaker 2>and I thought that was really cool. And here's McDaniel

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.360
<v Speaker 2>talking about the opportunity to get John Embrie, who has

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.679
<v Speaker 2>not had a chance to be a head coach in

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 2>this league versus a coach that has now coached two

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 2>full seasons and two playoff games. And Mike McDaniel, here's

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 2>coach on the idea of getting Embrey some run with

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.439
<v Speaker 2>the headset in the second half of tonight's game, you.

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 3>Know, to get better at things. And it's been this

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.440
<v Speaker 3>is my third year and we haven't ever gone through

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 3>that exercise, and uh, you know, bottom line is, you

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 3>know it's still too soon for for my memory from

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.680
<v Speaker 3>the COVID years, so you just you just don't want

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 3>to you want to be responsible to the organization. And

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.879
<v Speaker 3>then as far as John Embry the coach, it was

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 3>also really cool to give him that opportunity that I

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 3>think he's overly deserving of. You know, this is a

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 3>guy that our team really responds to. He had you know, applause,

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:43.400
<v Speaker 3>uh when when I notified the team and spoke spoke

0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:47.679
<v Speaker 3>to the team in several instances since then, and you

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 3>know it that their response to him is all the

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 3>reason that uh, he was deserving of the opportunity some

0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 3>he he's a great leader of men and does very

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:03.840
<v Speaker 3>well in those positions, and he's had that experience before

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 3>at the University of Colorado. So it was a good

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:11.640
<v Speaker 3>opportunity for our team to and a great opportunity for him.

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:13.399
<v Speaker 2>All right, there you go. Let's move on to the

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 2>individual standouts. I've talked about the line a little bit

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 2>in the quarterback play, so we'll skip over that.

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Wright.

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this guy's speed pops, doesn't it. We also

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.679
<v Speaker 2>heard Alec Ingold, which, by the way, Alec is fantastic

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.159
<v Speaker 2>in media. He's got himself one hell of a future

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 2>after his playing career comes to an end. But he

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.159
<v Speaker 2>had that comment on right about taking the ball to

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the block where you set the defender up and then

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 2>you get back outside to gain extra yards and you

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.320
<v Speaker 2>get out of bounds. Thought that was really crafty and

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.639
<v Speaker 2>just kind of showed you some of his quick decision

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:47.080
<v Speaker 2>making that pairs with his physical quickness on the field,

0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 2>and that's obviously a very dynamic combo of traits for

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:54.480
<v Speaker 2>a running back. My favorite play, though, was another play

0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 2>that shows just kind of the fluid movement skills of

0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Wright, and it was a catch and run up

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 2>the sideline in the third quarter where he ran a

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.360
<v Speaker 2>flair And if flare is where you put your back

0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 2>to the quarterback and you're back to the opposing goal

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 2>or to your own goal line, I should say, and

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 2>you run perpendicular to the line of scrimmage. And the

0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.880
<v Speaker 2>way he had this ball take him on the upfield

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.120
<v Speaker 2>hip and flip those hips and get himself going into

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.879
<v Speaker 2>a running position towards the correct goal line off of

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.680
<v Speaker 2>a route that runs you the wrong direction while making

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.159
<v Speaker 2>the catch off of his back hip. It just all

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 2>looked very smooth and transition.

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 1>That tells me.

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 2>If I saw that on a college football field, I'd

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 2>be like, that's an NFL player. And we saw Jeff

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Wilson do that and it wasn't at all as smooth.

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.640
<v Speaker 2>In the same operation, he showed some of the running

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 2>ability on a jump cut where he had to get

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 2>off of one block in the backfield and he made

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:45.200
<v Speaker 2>some guys miss when they got penetration.

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 1>He just pops out there. I think this dude is

0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:48.920
<v Speaker 1>a future star.

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:51.159
<v Speaker 2>And a running back room that has a guy that

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 2>scored twenty one touchdowns and then in my opinion arguably

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 2>one of the next like Christian McCaffrey type of backs.

0:20:58.000 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Not that good.

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot of lofty praise. That's the kind of

0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:03.120
<v Speaker 2>skills that the a chan has, and I think right

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.640
<v Speaker 2>is like in that conversation with those backs as well

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 2>for how good he can be. Another guy that I

0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 2>thought was amazing in this game and tracks to a

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 2>guy that I was stoked about the minute they drafted him,

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:19.360
<v Speaker 2>was Malik Washington. Those manufactured touches are where I think

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.359
<v Speaker 2>he can really shine right away, and stop me if

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 2>you've heard this before. You can get him in some

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 2>advantageous situations if he's on the field in packages that

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 2>include ten and seventeen or both those guys with OBJ

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 2>three and four wide packages. Right, and he shows you

0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 2>that punt return ability that he has to get north

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 2>and south and to find lanes and to quickly chew

0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:44.200
<v Speaker 2>up grass without going backwards and getting through arm tackles

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and forcing guys to take bad angles at his tackles.

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 2>What a punctuation from him on a very solid camp

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.560
<v Speaker 2>in preseason, and even more impressive to take that stick

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 2>that he took, come back and make those plays and

0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 2>show that aggressiveness and that temperament. And my favorite art

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.160
<v Speaker 2>was seeing Tron Armstead and Tyreek Hill checking on him

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 2>in the blue medical tent.

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>That to me tells you a lot.

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to coach McDaniel, who talked about the game

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:10.720
<v Speaker 2>from Maleak Washington on Friday night.

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh aggressiveness. He played as though the game was slow

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 3>to him, it slowed down and was able to get

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 3>in some space and he you know, I think we

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.679
<v Speaker 3>hadn't gotten the chance to see his something that we

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 3>saw in college from him that he put on display tonight,

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:37.200
<v Speaker 3>which is his balance and his ability to break tackles

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.880
<v Speaker 3>and get edges of defenders. So it was cool for him.

0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 3>It was a definitely big spark for us. And I

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:48.280
<v Speaker 3>was happy to see him really own the moment. And

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 3>he's a football player, and I could tell pregame he

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 3>was he was ready to go bye by him saying

0:22:57.119 --> 0:22:58.560
<v Speaker 3>it's time and it.

0:22:58.560 --> 0:22:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Was Maleak time.

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 2>And I think the fact that he was out there

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 2>after Burrios probably tells you where they're thinking. They're with

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 2>him and Burrios on the roster. I think Malik is

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:11.480
<v Speaker 2>higher on the death chart, but we'll see. I'll probably

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:14.880
<v Speaker 2>be proven wrong here when the roster cut down a curse.

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I also thought Hayden Ruccie was really good in this game.

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:19.919
<v Speaker 2>Got a little bit dinged up and goes out there

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 2>and just make some plays. Made a tough catch in

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the touchdown and it survives some contact. Got some movement

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 2>as the attached why in the running game, which is

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:29.480
<v Speaker 2>what he does every time he goes out there. He

0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 2>got Kyle with his hands outside and that holding call

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:33.679
<v Speaker 2>in the third quarter. But I continue to think that

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:35.480
<v Speaker 2>his arrow is up and a guy that could be

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 2>a big contributor on this team down the road, probably

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.160
<v Speaker 2>a practice squad guy right away. But I like Rucchie's game.

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah Max's effort stands out like all the time to me.

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 2>He had an awesome retrace on a screen that he

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:49.720
<v Speaker 2>got paid off because of the effort by Tyndall to

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 2>get on the outside shoulder of the blocker and force

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the ball carrier back inside into the flow where he was.

0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:56.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's why you hustle. If you follow the ball,

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:59.440
<v Speaker 2>good things will happen. He had a sack. I think

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 2>it was a set on trask maybe a TfL because

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 2>he tucked it and ran it and actually they were

0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:05.679
<v Speaker 2>zero sacks in the game, so they didn't give him

0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:07.119
<v Speaker 2>a sack four, but it should have been. But he

0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 2>chucked the left guard out of the club. It was

0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 2>an impressive rep there. I mentioned Tindall really really impressed

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 2>by Channing Tendall Man. I think he's seeing it faster

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:19.359
<v Speaker 2>than he has ever. I think he's reading his keys,

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 2>understanding blocking angles and his own angle to take on

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 2>ball carriers and where he can fit inside, where he

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:27.240
<v Speaker 2>can jump outside and play a block to you know,

0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 2>force the ball carrier back into his help. He ran

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 2>through the runners all night long, squared him up, had big, solid,

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 2>you know hits, some big contact, and had a really

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 2>nice rush where he took the guard upfield and over

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 2>set them into the B gap and then cross face

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:43.439
<v Speaker 2>back into the A gap and buried the quarterback for

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:44.639
<v Speaker 2>a big third down stop.

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 1>A couple of big hits that stood out in this game.

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:48.639
<v Speaker 2>I think he did as much as he could for

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:51.320
<v Speaker 2>himself this camp, and I think he made the football team.

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 2>He's getting my linebacker five when I do Monday's episode.

0:24:54.640 --> 0:24:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and hear from coach on the performance

0:24:57.359 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 2>of Channing Tindall Man.

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 3>What a cool game. For for Channing so much growth.

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, this is this is his third year and

0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 3>third defensive system, so you're always nervous about that when

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:14.439
<v Speaker 3>you sign up for it, and and he's really you know,

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 3>I can't say enough about the job that you know,

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 3>both Joe Berry have done in Anthony Weaver. Uh, just

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:24.200
<v Speaker 3>in general with the position, I feel like that's a

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 3>position of strength and uh a case in point. You know,

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:34.159
<v Speaker 3>I think that Channing Tindall, I I don't know this

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:36.719
<v Speaker 3>to be facts, but I think that would be his

0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:38.640
<v Speaker 3>hive preseason tackles.

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 2>UH.

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:43.719
<v Speaker 3>And I think that Goat that's just another example of

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:46.399
<v Speaker 3>the good stuff that we got going on on the

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 3>defensive side of the ball.

0:25:47.920 --> 0:25:49.480
<v Speaker 2>And we did a segment on this on the post

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.199
<v Speaker 2>game show talking about Azukama and Tendall and what a

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 2>bummer was that Azukama got hurt Wednesday's practice.

0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:57.120
<v Speaker 1>But it sounds like he's gonna be okay. Coach.

0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 2>You have a bunch of updates today telling you about

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 2>which guys would be back and whatnot. It sounds like

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:05.240
<v Speaker 2>day to day for Javon holland week to week for

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 2>guys like Eric Azukama and Aaron Brewers.

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Should be back sooner than later.

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 2>He was saying a bunch of good news on the

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:14.400
<v Speaker 2>injury front from Mike McDaniel after this one.

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:15.720
<v Speaker 1>So looking good there.

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 2>But with Azukama and Tindall, those were two guys that,

0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, Tindall had played like four hundred snaps in college.

0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 2>He gets drafted by Josh Boyer defense, which was blitz, blitz, blitz,

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:28.800
<v Speaker 2>mug up and blitz some more. And then you pivot

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.200
<v Speaker 2>to the Vic Fangio defense, and he wasn't ready to

0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 2>play as a rookie. And then Vic Fangio says, I

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:34.800
<v Speaker 2>can't use you at all because I you know, he

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:37.119
<v Speaker 2>wasn't gonna use him in a defense that doesn't blitz

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:39.400
<v Speaker 2>very often. I think that now he's got some time

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 2>and some reps and a defense that maybe caters to

0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 2>his skill set a little bit more. And gosh, if

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 2>you can get success from those two guys, if you

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 2>can get production from Tyndall and Azukama in the third

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 2>years of their career, you can bank on them in

0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 2>the fourth year of their career. Is cheap productive players

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:57.120
<v Speaker 2>and two positions on special teams on offense and defense,

0:26:57.440 --> 0:26:59.000
<v Speaker 2>And that to me would just go a really long

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 2>way to saving money because you don't have to go

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.439
<v Speaker 2>find those spots either in the draft next year or

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:05.640
<v Speaker 2>in free agency. It would just go a long way

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:08.719
<v Speaker 2>towards this team being sustained success or sustain their success,

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I should say, for a couple more years. Last break

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 2>right here, come back on the other side. I have one, two, three, four, five,

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:17.119
<v Speaker 2>six more hits, and then we'll talk about the misses

0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 2>of the night. That's next Draft Time podcast, your host

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:27.159
<v Speaker 1>No more sound bites. Let's go ahead and run through

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the final hits I had here.

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:31.119
<v Speaker 2>I was a fan of Jason Maytree once again that

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:34.680
<v Speaker 2>slot fade rep he began working more slot the last

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:36.399
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks of training camp. I think he has

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:39.520
<v Speaker 2>a future there in this league in that role. The

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:42.080
<v Speaker 2>press re route, stay in phase, gets your head back

0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 2>to the football. And tip of the cap to coach

0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Arujo Matthew Arugio, because that's been a bit of a

0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 2>theme for the cornerbacks this camp. I've noticed they all

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:51.600
<v Speaker 2>get their head turned around and find the football, which

0:27:51.640 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 2>is not always the case.

0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:53.680
<v Speaker 1>So I like that.

0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Emphasis from the coaching staff speaking of cornerbacks Ethan Bonner

0:27:57.840 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 2>got swiveled and got put on his butt on a

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:02.640
<v Speaker 2>play where he was chasing downhill in pursuit and got

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 2>a crackback that he didn't see coming. Big time football man.

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:09.119
<v Speaker 2>But that third and two takeoff to the boundary was

0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 2>what I liked about him the most because it shows

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 2>you he's confident. He's not afraid to take his face

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 2>in the fan. We know that against the run and press,

0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 2>but the way he presses with the confidence of his

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 2>long speed, like if he gives up a half a step,

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 2>he knows he can make it up, and he's physical

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:25.679
<v Speaker 2>as hell in those presses. That has me intrigued. I

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:28.400
<v Speaker 2>think he is either cornerback three or four right now

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:29.359
<v Speaker 2>on this team, and.

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna play a lot of football this year.

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Colbert big hits, played fast and coverage, made a

0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 2>play on special teams, and Mark Perry I thought, had

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 2>a nice undercut on a play when Chop had that

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:40.760
<v Speaker 2>quarterback hit and played the ball nicely. Thought he and

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Colbert played pretty well together out there. I mentioned Chop.

0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:44.920
<v Speaker 2>He's the last guy I want to talk about here

0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 2>because it started off rough. He got walled off on

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:49.960
<v Speaker 2>some plays. He got doubled out of some plays. He

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 2>had some stalemate pass rushes that went nowhere, but then

0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 2>he picked it up. He had a wicked speed, the

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:56.960
<v Speaker 2>power that threw his man off of his feet. He

0:28:56.960 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 2>had an effective cross chop. He made a big play

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 2>against the run. Any rookie is going to have some

0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:04.160
<v Speaker 2>teachable moments out there, and he had those. But he

0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:06.960
<v Speaker 2>has shown out each time and showed us bounce back tonight.

0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 2>That is a good showing to me. I'm excited about

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 2>his future here. Maybe off the top it's more, you know, situational,

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 2>but as he develops and gets more time and seasoning,

0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 2>he'll be just fine. Some rough nights tonight, Jody Fordson

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.200
<v Speaker 2>continues to not you know, it looks like a number

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight that was here in the past. When it

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 2>comes to the blocking game, had another critical drop, which

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 2>had been the case all throughout camp. I just don't

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 2>see a way for him. I thought most of the

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 2>receivers besides Maleak was was rough. You know, Burrios. I

0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't see him get open on a couple of routes

0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 2>that he ran. Schwartz had a couple of plays where

0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 2>he got open, but outside of that, it was. It

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:44.360
<v Speaker 2>was pretty tough, but you also had like guys that

0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 2>just got here around those routes, So I don't want

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:48.480
<v Speaker 2>to bag on him too much. Just thought it was

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:50.240
<v Speaker 2>tough for the quarterbacks a lot of the time. I

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:52.280
<v Speaker 2>thought Brandon Peeley kind of got pushed around a little

0:29:52.280 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 2>bit when he was in that first string getting some

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 2>reps in the first team offense of the Buccaneers.

0:29:57.200 --> 0:29:59.120
<v Speaker 1>But that's who you're gonna see it come the season.

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 2>That's why I don't think he's quite ready to contribute

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 2>in that role yet, but we shall see. Neville Gallimore

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't get a lot of rush with or didn't get

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of ground with his rush and got washed

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 2>in the run game a couple of times. Elijah Campbell

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>on that first deep shot from Baker Mayfield, I thought

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I had to play on the football and it looked

0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:14.560
<v Speaker 2>like he kind of ran out of the play with

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:15.120
<v Speaker 2>his angle.

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Just wanted to make that mention on there.

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Storm Duck got caught a couple of times that that

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:22.120
<v Speaker 2>deep over for the touchdown was. You know, he was

0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 2>on bad he was outside leveraging on deep over with Mesh.

0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:27.160
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty hard to cover. I thought he had a

0:30:27.200 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 2>rough special team to night as well. I thought Jeff

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Wilson looked slow and didn't make that one catch that

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:33.560
<v Speaker 2>he should have made. He kind of might get caught

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 2>numbers game that running back I mentioned the offensive line.

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I thought Cotton was a rough night for him. Driscoll

0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:41.920
<v Speaker 2>besides it, Guard it was rough for Driscoll. Meyer had

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 2>a shaky start but got better. Hayes I thought got

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:47.840
<v Speaker 2>boiled a little bit, and Matt To's really got pushed

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 2>around as well, and then Wyatt Ray and Curtis Bolton

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I had kind of getting washed in the run game

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 2>as well. So it's I mean these are all you know,

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:56.280
<v Speaker 2>twos and threes and four, so it is what it is.

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Rough end of the preseason, got some good looks overall.

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:02.000
<v Speaker 2>We have a big schedule for you guys next week Monday,

0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:05.080

<v Speaker 2>watched on film. On Tuesday, the actual roster will be announced.
