Speaker 1: All right, here we are, two thousand eighteen NFL Draft, Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 1: Gonna be a huge crowd Dallas for this one for
Speaker 1: me and I don't know about you, guys. Kimbo camera here,
Speaker 1: Joe Rose, John Conjemmy with you, will be with you
Speaker 1: until the Dolphins make their pick, and stick around a
Speaker 1: little bit afterwards. Get your right to Dallas when the
Speaker 1: commissioner steps to the podium to get this thing started.
Speaker 1: But Joe and John, you know, to me, whenever it
Speaker 1: comes to the draft, you know what that means to me,
Speaker 1: Football season is bad. He's back in the house right here,
Speaker 1: hard Rock Stadium. We're gonna bring it to you all
Speaker 1: night long. Should be a great night. This is a
Speaker 1: This is a strange draft. Been a lot of different scenarios,
Speaker 1: you know. A couple of years or last year, a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, we had a little Larami tounsil
Speaker 1: issue going on. Now we gotta Josh Allen, miss you
Speaker 1: go on. That could change the dynamics of this draft.
Speaker 1: All these things. Ray Kwan Smith right there, got him
Speaker 1: on his head. So there's a lot of different things, sir,
Speaker 1: I take that right now. If I take it right now,
Speaker 1: I take take that right now and go home. How
Speaker 1: about the day I'll do that right. You're right about
Speaker 1: this traft, though, It's gonna be fun. Find out what
Speaker 1: happens with the quarterbacks, who makes power, moves down, tries
Speaker 1: to jump up, get into this thing and uh and
Speaker 1: then see what the Miami Dolphins. If you're gonna get
Speaker 1: better as a football team, sounds like a broken record.
Speaker 1: It starts by getting really good players today and tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And we gotta get a figured out, folks, real quickly.
Speaker 1: It John, We've talked about this in the program. I
Speaker 1: think somehow, some way before this weekends over that all
Speaker 1: of us come gotta come out with two starters in
Speaker 1: this draft, and they gotta come out with at least
Speaker 1: two more players that are impact players are gonna help you,
Speaker 1: whether on special teams or in a rotation, whether it's
Speaker 1: on the defensive line, whether it's in the secondary, wherever
Speaker 1: it is. I think they've got to come away with
Speaker 1: four legitimate dogs in this draft. Bow and Joe, we
Speaker 1: talked about it for the last couple of months. You
Speaker 1: gotta be able to improve it. Linebacker. At some point,
Speaker 1: you have to be able to get a tight end
Speaker 1: that you can flex out and move around and be
Speaker 1: able to get the football too, because those are the
Speaker 1: matchups you need to take advantage of on the offensive
Speaker 1: side of the football. And now you're taking a look
Speaker 1: where Miami is right now at eleven. You're hoping that
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks go on a run. You hope that those
Speaker 1: guys are gone in the first six. It'll help us
Speaker 1: because we might have a linebacker to choose from, a
Speaker 1: defensive back to choose from, or some impactful player that's
Speaker 1: gonna make a difference on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: I'll throw another name out, how about Tremaine Edmonds? Yeah?
Speaker 1: How about that? Yeah, let's see him drop. Got some
Speaker 1: blood Ferrell Edmonds through there too, So I'd be nice
Speaker 1: to have him to the way right there. But this
Speaker 1: is gonna be an interesting, interesting night how this thing
Speaker 1: plays out. And you know, there's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: sitting in there in the green room in Dallas right now.
Speaker 1: They're peeing their pants because this is a big, big
Speaker 1: night for a lot of them. And you move three
Speaker 1: four notches down in the draft, a lot of dollars
Speaker 1: sliding out the door, the one that that you think
Speaker 1: it might be there at eleven for the Dolphins. At
Speaker 1: all day, everybody's talking about him going number one to
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Ground. A couple of things to watch, A
Speaker 1: couple of teams to watch or early on in this draft.
Speaker 1: I think New Orleans, New Orleans and Saints they look
Speaker 1: like they want to get up a little bit there,
Speaker 1: down to somewhere down there. They want to try to
Speaker 1: get up, maybe in that quarterback Derby and the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills are right behind the Miami Dolphins. They moved up
Speaker 1: and they're trying to get firepower to move up and
Speaker 1: pass the Dolphins and maybe grab somebody. So they're gonna
Speaker 1: be a couple of teams out there that really have
Speaker 1: reasons to go up. The question I would ask is
Speaker 1: which teams have the reason to go down? Yeah? Well, listen,
Speaker 1: Dolphins got some some needs. As John just mentioned, throwing
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. We still gotta get another guy in that rotation.
Speaker 1: And I know it's not sexy, and it could happen tonight.
Speaker 1: Don't don't shake your heads on me, please please, but
Speaker 1: there's a big three pound defensive tackle now, Washington, I know,
Speaker 1: I know they're they're booing him. Think I'm getting booed
Speaker 1: for that bow. Nobody. Let me ask you one question,
Speaker 1: but he wants hold on, hold on a second, Settle down,
Speaker 1: Settle down for a second, settle it out for a second.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you one question. How tell me how
Speaker 1: you would feel if the Dolphins drafted a guard with
Speaker 1: the first pick. You'd have guys walking out of here
Speaker 1: was messing with I can I can almost guarantee you
Speaker 1: that that's not gonna happen. All right, now, we got
Speaker 1: a couple of alumni joining us here, from someone to
Speaker 1: the greatest players to play in the Miami Dolphin uniforms.
Speaker 1: First of all, from the University of Alabama, Tony Nathan,
Speaker 1: my man Tony Nathan, where the great running backs and
Speaker 1: Dolphins history joined us. Next, one of the UH one
Speaker 1: half of the greatest quarterback tandem in the Miami Dolphins history,
Speaker 1: Patrick Sir Tan joined us up here on stage, and
Speaker 1: UH get a chance to chat with them, guys, a
Speaker 1: little bit about a round up clause. These two great
Speaker 1: football players, those headsets on coach, all right, so UH
Speaker 1: maker may feel the New York Giants are on the clock. Next,
Speaker 1: it looks like Shaikwan Barkley will be the guy for them,
Speaker 1: and UH Tony uh talking about Saikawon Barkley running back.
Speaker 1: I know you got to see him a little bit
Speaker 1: over the course of this year. You pretty impressed what
Speaker 1: he brings to the table. Get out of Penn State
Speaker 1: very much. Both, Baby, let's put that little close to
Speaker 1: your mouth. There you go, there you go. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do this. We know you don't do a lot,
Speaker 1: but we sure do like when you do it. Man,
Speaker 1: too damn good to not be out here when people
Speaker 1: can uh to hear you. Um, Draft day, big day.
Speaker 1: What what memory comes to your mind when you think
Speaker 1: of your draft day experience. Well, it's like man in
Speaker 1: a closet you don't know. But and then you got
Speaker 1: friends that plays jokes on you, especially if they go
Speaker 1: to first day and you don't. So you know, you
Speaker 1: get phone calls and different friends. But once you do
Speaker 1: get that phone call and it's legit. Hey, you happen
Speaker 1: to pig and slout. Patrick's certainly one of the one
Speaker 1: of the certainly one of the great days in your life.
Speaker 1: If you're a football player, you've been playing since you
Speaker 1: were nine years old, and you know something, some guys
Speaker 1: never thought they'd ever get to the NFL. Others guys
Speaker 1: dreamed about being in the NFL. But draft days, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a special day for for everybody involved, not not
Speaker 1: only the players, with their families and and all the
Speaker 1: relatives that are close to him. Yeah. I remember like
Speaker 1: it was yesterday, all in front of the family and friends.
Speaker 1: Just just a dream realized. You know, all the work,
Speaker 1: the whole work you put in it finally culminated to
Speaker 1: you being the NFL player. And Uh, like I said, man,
Speaker 1: it was a dream come through. I dreamed. I dreamt
Speaker 1: about that day for a long time, and for had
Speaker 1: to come to frud wishing Man and able to share
Speaker 1: with the ones that that's been there since day one
Speaker 1: was really specials. Hey, I gotta ask you guys a
Speaker 1: question a little bit away from football. Are you are
Speaker 1: you catching what's going on here? Part of that Alabama family? Now,
Speaker 1: Pastor Dan Jr. About had something to do with that.
Speaker 1: About that, well, I can't claim that he made he
Speaker 1: made a left turning. Hey, why what you gonna go
Speaker 1: to the boy? Nobody has the bag gave me, nobody
Speaker 1: has no All right, we got to the Giants. Selection
Speaker 1: is in, so let's go up to the board. Wait
Speaker 1: the second pig in the two thousand and eighteen NFL Draft,
Speaker 1: the New York Giants select say Croon Barker. Say O
Speaker 1: want asking Tony playing that position? Have you ever seen
Speaker 1: a last time you saw such a complete back coming
Speaker 1: out of college like this guy? He is day far
Speaker 1: and few between. He's a he's a talent. I got
Speaker 1: to give it to me the talent. And Patrick, you're
Speaker 1: you're coaching now at an American heritage by the way,
Speaker 1: undefeated your two season or two, just start throw that
Speaker 1: out there. But um to have a guy like that,
Speaker 1: running back like that, and I'm sure you had a
Speaker 1: chance to watch him play. Guy does every returns, kicks,
Speaker 1: return punts, runs, catches the football. This guy is a
Speaker 1: leader of the football team. Guess the one question, uh
Speaker 1: is they didn't really really didn't give him too many carries. Uh.
Speaker 1: And you wonder how he's gonna transition over the NFL.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a lot of heavier load than he
Speaker 1: got when he's at Penn State. Absolutely, I'm a little biased,
Speaker 1: but I think there's another running back in his draft
Speaker 1: who is better. He's a heritage and lum Son Michelle yea.
Speaker 1: I think of the man, he's gonna go early too.
Speaker 1: I think you're surprising people, but he's the top. He's special, man.
Speaker 1: He has all the intanigible as he's a leader. Uh,
Speaker 1: like you said, he returned kicks, he catches the ball.
Speaker 1: He's a complete back. So the Giants with those receivers,
Speaker 1: they got on on the outside finally to finally get
Speaker 1: a running back to help compliment the passing game. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be good for him, Tony. We talked. There's been
Speaker 1: a lot of talking about quarterbacks in this draft, with
Speaker 1: all the guys that are out there. Can a running
Speaker 1: back change the fortune of a football team? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he can definitely be a game changing you know, because
Speaker 1: if you watch this kid play, if if you watched
Speaker 1: him playing college, he changed a lot of things in games.
Speaker 1: He was the defining factor and a lot of the
Speaker 1: game that they play there. Let me let me ask
Speaker 1: both of you guys this question, as Dolphin fans live
Speaker 1: here in town, would you like to see the Dolphins
Speaker 1: take with his first pick? We always like put everybody
Speaker 1: on the spot a little bit. I see I noticed, man. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's tough. It's tough. There's a lot of good players
Speaker 1: out there. I think if the the real Kuan Smith
Speaker 1: kid is there, I think you take him. Tremendous linebacker.
Speaker 1: We were kind of lacking in that spot. Yeah. Also
Speaker 1: it's a deep, deep draft in the secondary, we can
Speaker 1: get one of those guys to kind of plug and play. Also,
Speaker 1: Tony positionwise, what what do you think the Dolphins uh
Speaker 1: should be looking for when their pick comes round at
Speaker 1: the eleven. If they don't move, well, they don't move.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can't keep your quarterback standing, you
Speaker 1: gotta problem. And also they say defenses win championship, So
Speaker 1: you gotta have a good guy coming off the edge
Speaker 1: to do what he has to do it. And like
Speaker 1: you said, in the secondary, you need some help that too.
Speaker 1: So it's uh But I think the good thing is
Speaker 1: I think the good scenario if this draft goes the
Speaker 1: way they want and and all those quarterbacks kind of
Speaker 1: go in that top picks or something like that, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a good player left for the Dolphins at eleven,
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. I'd like to see. How about
Speaker 1: Edmunds out of Virginia Tech. Do you like him? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's wrong, he's a little wrong. Wrong. He well, he's
Speaker 1: the youngest player in the draft, not twenty yet. His
Speaker 1: ceiling is pretty high. You know. You take a guy
Speaker 1: like that and paramou, what will we have Because he
Speaker 1: can do multiple things. He's a big guy, so he
Speaker 1: also can rest to pass us. So we take him.
Speaker 1: I think that'd be a pretty good pig for us, Tony.
Speaker 1: You look at the Dolphins offense and and it's certainly
Speaker 1: something they want to to to get more offense, more
Speaker 1: point production out of this football team. They made some
Speaker 1: moves you know, let JG. I go during the season.
Speaker 1: Uh they go ahead, uh, you know, and make some
Speaker 1: moves during the during the off season. Um, they want
Speaker 1: to spread the ball around. Jervis Landry's not here. They
Speaker 1: want to spread the ball around a little more. And
Speaker 1: I think when when when we had a chance to
Speaker 1: play together on a Dolphin football team, it was an
Speaker 1: offense that did spread the ball around. Everyone got catches.
Speaker 1: How more how much more effective does that make an
Speaker 1: offensive football team? If you're able to have multiple targets
Speaker 1: that you don't have to rely on one guy to
Speaker 1: be the workhorse all the time, and you can spread,
Speaker 1: spread and open the field, Well, it's great they have
Speaker 1: more than one weapon, you know, because people can zee
Speaker 1: row in on one particular person. But now if you've
Speaker 1: got more than one, the defense had to make a
Speaker 1: decision who are they gonna take away? And so you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully other people can get a chance. And your quarterback
Speaker 1: and been picked that up early in the game and
Speaker 1: go do what he has to do with the football.
Speaker 1: When they're gonna star runing that halfback short option they
Speaker 1: used to run so well, Tony, when they're gonna bring
Speaker 1: that back into the game plan, one of the toughest
Speaker 1: guys to cover coming out of that back. I remember
Speaker 1: standing out there's a linebacker. He coming at me and
Speaker 1: he's got two week ago. I got you. I'm screwed.
Speaker 1: Thank you. But it's it's I don't know if they're
Speaker 1: going out, but is in the game. You know, you
Speaker 1: know if that body running in at five, it out
Speaker 1: or sometimes you're running the fan and the twelve yard out,
Speaker 1: so you know, it's it's in the game plan. And
Speaker 1: I think this young man that the Giant just took
Speaker 1: does that very well. Yeah, I know he didn't have
Speaker 1: a weakness to his game. I I agree by the
Speaker 1: way you were being nice. Some of those huddles we
Speaker 1: have with Clayton and duper in there. That was the
Speaker 1: entertaining stuff. Man, we guys are begging for the ball
Speaker 1: Tony you got huh. You have to pretty entertain where
Speaker 1: everybody wanted to damn ball in that huddle for twenty seconds.
Speaker 1: But my thing was, hey, they covered down field. Bring it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think another thing that we've been lacking over the
Speaker 1: years is a tight end that constressing field, no doubt about.
Speaker 1: If you look at the Super Bowl, those two tight ends,
Speaker 1: they're they're definitely difference. Maybe so if you you get
Speaker 1: a guy who's a mismatch with the linebackers and also
Speaker 1: the safeties, I think that that health the offense tremendously.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny now because you talk about tight ends.
Speaker 1: You used to be back in the day you talk
Speaker 1: to tight ends, you're talking about blocking and receiving. Now
Speaker 1: that you either rock block or their receivers at I
Speaker 1: think the Dolphins, because use use a top line a
Speaker 1: tight end that I could care less if he blocks,
Speaker 1: I could care less. Get him out there, spread a
Speaker 1: little bit, run him down the middle of the field,
Speaker 1: put the ball over the top and let people. Let
Speaker 1: people respect the middle of the field, and then you
Speaker 1: got the outside to deal with the upgrading. Everybody wants
Speaker 1: to upgrade the offense and receivers. We got to get
Speaker 1: a lot more production what we been getting out of
Speaker 1: the tight end. We we just we got to get
Speaker 1: a guy in the red zone that can affect the
Speaker 1: game and getting isolated going down the hash marks in
Speaker 1: the numbers like the old days. I mean, if you
Speaker 1: get it, the red zone is fine, yeah, but you
Speaker 1: know you've got to get that to that point. You
Speaker 1: gotta get you get the red zone that you touched
Speaker 1: on something earlier too. You said possibly a cornerback. Uh,
Speaker 1: if he's if he's there, and and this is the league.
Speaker 1: Now everyone's there. Everyone's in three wide, four wide spread
Speaker 1: in the field, empty backfields, and so an abundance of
Speaker 1: cornerbacks has become a nest of necessity in this team.
Speaker 1: Depth at the quarterback position is gonna be valuable. So
Speaker 1: it's certainly certain in the area that the Dolphins could
Speaker 1: be interested. Meanwhile, the Jets pick is in, so let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and head back to Dallas. And five was
Speaker 1: a usc quarterback and Mark Sanchez? Could it be deja
Speaker 1: who all over again? With the third pick in the
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen, Hannefel drafts the New York Jets
Speaker 1: select Sam Donald quarterback USC. So there he is twenty
Speaker 1: years old. Alright, alright, so the Jets get Sam Donald. Uh.
Speaker 1: So the Dolphins are gonna be be watching to see
Speaker 1: in this quarterback quite a bit over the next halfful
Speaker 1: of years. Whether he's successful or not. We're gonna see
Speaker 1: him twice a year whenever he gets that job. And
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna take him long. Jes Then
Speaker 1: we played the quarterback stage draft. By the way, he
Speaker 1: got a butt fumble or two in. Hey, what's another
Speaker 1: USC quarterback? Hey guys? Uh to Tony Nathan Patrick tam
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us up here. Always a pleasure to
Speaker 1: have you out here. How about a round of class
Speaker 1: and a great Dolphins of all times up here to
Speaker 1: the greatest guys you'll ever run a clock? All right,

Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Um Davante Parker joined us, and Davon
Speaker 1: Davin got youall join us, buddy, Good to see you, Davanta.

Speaker 1: been working hard. Everything everything going well, sir, it's going great. Uh.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this your well draft time here
Speaker 1: you were you're here in this situation last year with
Speaker 1: the draft coming up. Uh, your thoughts from where you
Speaker 1: were last year at this time it was very stressful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to go fishing up something, trying to
Speaker 1: take my money off the draft because it was very stressful.
Speaker 1: After draft free was a lot of stress relief. Yeah,
Speaker 1: d Wante, you're looking up here at the draft. Two
Speaker 1: quarterbacks gone already. Everyone talking quarterback, but uh, we're talking
Speaker 1: about receiver right now with you. How you feeling? How's
Speaker 1: your off season going? And uh, you got O, T,
Speaker 1: A S and all these things starting right now. But
Speaker 1: what's your is your mind set at? Yeah? You know,
Speaker 1: my my off states a man, it's been pretty well,
Speaker 1: you know, just working hard with my teammates. You know,
Speaker 1: just come on it as one, just getting right, you know,
Speaker 1: do you guys remember the waiting and and it might
Speaker 1: be different for everybody that either is waiting on on
Speaker 1: a Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday. Uh, take us through
Speaker 1: your draft process and and tell us, you know, the struggles,
Speaker 1: the jubilation, but after that night is done or that
Speaker 1: day is done, how you gotta go to work and
Speaker 1: how you gotta become a professional right away. It was
Speaker 1: very stressful in me going to day three. You know,
Speaker 1: I was trying to play the video game, you know,
Speaker 1: take my eyes off the tv, you know, stop watching
Speaker 1: the draft. You know, it was very stressful. But once
Speaker 1: I got there call from the three or five number,
Speaker 1: you know what over. I know it was over, and
Speaker 1: I'm happy to mind me Delphin's organization chose me. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know I went to the draft, so you know,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of things that I know that
Speaker 1: we had to do when we went there, so many activities.
Speaker 1: I didn't like that, but uh, it was a good
Speaker 1: experience though, So I'm glad I'm here. Dontall your first
Speaker 1: round draft pick. Uh, pressure comes with that pick. You
Speaker 1: you feel that coming in the league a little bit,
Speaker 1: that expectations and everyone's going on this guy, this guy
Speaker 1: were expecting this. Did you feel that when you came in?
Speaker 1: I mean not not really know. Only time for the
Speaker 1: press is only wing. Like I say, when you just
Speaker 1: talk smack and you don't back it up, that's only
Speaker 1: pressure that I think someone should feel. Hey, you're you're
Speaker 1: looking at your your receiver room. Now. I know you
Speaker 1: guys are back together, getting together a coach and starting
Speaker 1: to do all that that type of stuff to get
Speaker 1: ready for the season coming up. And you got some
Speaker 1: new faces in your room. You know, you got uh
Speaker 1: you know, Danny Amondola is in there. You got to
Speaker 1: keep from Kansas City. Wilson's in there, So it's a
Speaker 1: little bit change in there. We've talked to Danny a
Speaker 1: little bit about it, and he says, hey, like the
Speaker 1: competition in that room, it's gonna be pretty fierce when
Speaker 1: you guys hit the field, right. Uh, this summer isn't
Speaker 1: It has been a lot of competition though with them,
Speaker 1: you know, the inside guys and out, so it's gonna
Speaker 1: be competition everywhere. And I would think the same thing
Speaker 1: on the defensive line. You know, a Dominican Sioux moves on.
Speaker 1: You're looking around Jordan Phillips, seems like he's the old
Speaker 1: head in there. You've got some other guys with experience,
Speaker 1: but with you and Vincent, you know, you guys are
Speaker 1: the youth of that position. How do you feel? How
Speaker 1: excited are you about year number two taking on that challenge?
Speaker 1: Very excited. You know. We go out there every day
Speaker 1: and meet Jordan Gabriel Densitil and compete. You know what
Speaker 1: it's living weights, you know, running sprints. You know, we
Speaker 1: try to compete, you know, uh, DeLine coach. I always
Speaker 1: sending room every day. You know, Stacker day, Stacker day,
Speaker 1: each and every day, you know, and you don't want
Speaker 1: to stack bad days. I play us be great day,
Speaker 1: stack great days each on on top of each other
Speaker 1: each and every day. So we try to stack days
Speaker 1: and try to compete against each other each and every day.
Speaker 1: You were able to come in last year and make
Speaker 1: an impact getting the rotation play you and Vincent Taylor,
Speaker 1: both of you got got the chance to get in
Speaker 1: there and mix up a little bit. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: more expected of you this year. What are you doing
Speaker 1: this year to be better than you were last year
Speaker 1: in your rookie season? Just playing football? Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people make it so by thinking a lot, Uh,
Speaker 1: just play football, play your technique, you know the your assignment.
Speaker 1: You know you play each and every DWN. You've been
Speaker 1: playing football your whole life. People make it too hard
Speaker 1: by stressing just go down and play football, play your
Speaker 1: assigned to, play your gap, get off, get off the ball,
Speaker 1: and do what you do. Alright, Well, let's see what
Speaker 1: Cleveland's up on the clock again. Acquired four Texan draft
Speaker 1: Texas to get their franchise quarterback to Shawn Watson last year.
Speaker 1: With the fourth pick in the two thousand and eighteen
Speaker 1: NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select Denzel Warren. Stand. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. That was a curve ball. I was saying
Speaker 1: that this draft has been going going through to script. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your figure Chot was gonna be the guy to get
Speaker 1: in there to get a quarterback with the first pick,
Speaker 1: get a running back with the forest pick, fourth pick.
Speaker 1: But this kind of throws a little, a little monkey
Speaker 1: ranch into this draft and everyone has saw the thing
Speaker 1: falling in order. It's gonna change a little bit. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a little bit interesting from here going on.
Speaker 1: For Davante. Davante, everybody wants to know about the off
Speaker 1: season and Ryan Tannehill coming back, and I know that
Speaker 1: you guys have been working out as receivers, as quarterbacks. Uh,
Speaker 1: what's your excitement level to have Number seventeen back in
Speaker 1: the huddle and being back as the quarterback of the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. You know, it's very exciting, you know, to
Speaker 1: have the starting quarterback, have Ryan back, you know, and
Speaker 1: it's just better to see him out there and being
Speaker 1: back and just rugging out with us again. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's good to see him because he never seems like
Speaker 1: he never leaves the building. You know, every time you're
Speaker 1: going for breakfast, lunch, dinner, he's there. And that's what
Speaker 1: it takes to get back to a double digit season
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins. I just want to know how
Speaker 1: you guys feel about your expectations. I know individually, everybody's
Speaker 1: got expectations, but as a team, you know, this offseason
Speaker 1: seems like they're trying to create a culture, trying to
Speaker 1: create a positive culture, trying to get a winning culture
Speaker 1: to get back on that. How do you guys embrace
Speaker 1: that in the offuss How do you become your own
Speaker 1: leaders of the team or of your positions? You no
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, you know, because she's trying to
Speaker 1: find the right guy to brain getting that certain and
Speaker 1: certain spots, certain positions. So you know, just have someone
Speaker 1: like you know, Danny Avendola come in, is she does
Speaker 1: ropes and what he did and how he got to
Speaker 1: where he is. Now, what about on the defensive side
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. You know, we're trying to bring
Speaker 1: guys into guy's gonna do the right thing, don't time
Speaker 1: to do a pro. You know, a lot of guys
Speaker 1: didn't want to do a pro with a lot of
Speaker 1: guys that want to put in the work to the pro.
Speaker 1: So we're trying to find the right guys. You know,
Speaker 1: our scheme and for our culture. You know, you listen
Speaker 1: to coaching staff and they talk on the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the football, and the way the game is is
Speaker 1: become you know, you're you're they're in three wide, four wide,
Speaker 1: seems like percent of the time anyway. So a lot
Speaker 1: of it's gonna come down to pass rushing. Got some
Speaker 1: more defensive ends coming in, They're gonna expect more pass
Speaker 1: rush out of the defensive tackle position. You feel like
Speaker 1: that's something you can step into be a part of
Speaker 1: helping the pass rush moving forward this year. Most we
Speaker 1: need to see us little. We need to see a
Speaker 1: couple of sack dance moves out of up to got
Speaker 1: to I gotta come up of my sleeves too, all right,
Speaker 1: we gotta see him now. I gotta get him out there,
Speaker 1: get some some dancers, some of the Indians one by
Speaker 1: detach a touchdown and have a little excitement in there.
Speaker 1: I gotta do for a few. That's right, Joe Rose
Speaker 1: and I we're talking before you guys got on. We're
Speaker 1: saying a good number for DeVante. What will you give him?
Speaker 1: Let's go between sixty five and seventy catches, about eleven
Speaker 1: yards and maybe six or seven touchdowns. That sounds pretty good.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for eight to night and maybe double digits.
Speaker 1: You go, you're gonna try to go double digits this year.
Speaker 1: I got to look at the double digit. There you go.
Speaker 1: There we sold you a little bit. Hey, the coaching
Speaker 1: staff got some changes in there a little bit. Uh,
Speaker 1: got some changes in the in the defensive meeting room.
Speaker 1: How do things going with that? Exciting? You know? Coach Chris,
Speaker 1: you know he's very excited. You know, he come in
Speaker 1: enthusiasm each and every day. You know, he gets me up.
Speaker 1: You know some days, you know I'll come in there,
Speaker 1: have to get some coffee, you know, because Chris coming
Speaker 1: there full blow jacked up. You know, he's ready. He's
Speaker 1: gonna push us as practice, and that's what we need
Speaker 1: as defense around you know, every running to the ball,
Speaker 1: things like that. You know, so it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: very excited year. He's not as quiet as Sean Jefferson, right,
Speaker 1: never Sean maybe one of them, Sean maybe woman. I
Speaker 1: was talking to coach. He may be one of the
Speaker 1: highest octam coaches I've ever seen. That guy is NonStop
Speaker 1: energy out there. What do you put on pads? A
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, out there and busting what you
Speaker 1: guys two, I think he was diving into the dummies
Speaker 1: and trying to trying to hit us, knock him out.
Speaker 1: He's but he's I tell he's a He's got his
Speaker 1: passionate about his job, passionate about getting this football team better,
Speaker 1: and passionate about getting that that wide receiver room to
Speaker 1: be as productive as you guys can possibly be. What
Speaker 1: does he what does he bring to the room when
Speaker 1: you when you when you work with him, you know energy.
Speaker 1: You know, he has everyone up. You know, he's just
Speaker 1: always talking and so you know that talking against everyone
Speaker 1: else hype. So we just come out and when to
Speaker 1: play hard for him. You know a lot of fans
Speaker 1: ask you when when you're walking around, and when I'm
Speaker 1: walking around, they said, you know, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1: You know, Jarvis Landry had four hundred catches over four years,
Speaker 1: and you know who's going to replace that? Ever think
Speaker 1: about that? Or or is that something that you just
Speaker 1: go out and play your game, do your job and
Speaker 1: kind of with the ball is gonna find you because
Speaker 1: you're gonna get open. Yeah, you know, I never thought
Speaker 1: about that. You know, just it's gonna come to you know,
Speaker 1: you just gotta be patient. You know, we have something
Speaker 1: different receivers now, so you know it's only one ball.
Speaker 1: So that's way of turns. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people forget that you playing a lot of football last year.
Speaker 1: You come right out of college, you go in and
Speaker 1: you got you got all the workouts with the teams,
Speaker 1: you got combines, you've got this and that, you got
Speaker 1: all star games, and you got the draft and you
Speaker 1: go right into t a. So you kind of had
Speaker 1: about an eighteen month run there playing football with no
Speaker 1: break out of the last couple of months before he
Speaker 1: went back to work in on the field. It had
Speaker 1: to feel good to take a little breathe for a while. Definitely,
Speaker 1: most definitely I still was working, but it's it feel
Speaker 1: good to take our first break, you know, because coming out,
Speaker 1: come out of college, getting ready for the combined getting
Speaker 1: ready for the draft, being going right back in the
Speaker 1: your community camp. Know, it's very stressful. You don't have
Speaker 1: no break, but I mean, that's your job. What's the
Speaker 1: what's the biggest difference that you saw during your rookie year?
Speaker 1: UH from from playing in in the UH in college
Speaker 1: to playing in the NFL. It's a business. It's a
Speaker 1: business in it. Yeah, and they can't get ugly, you know,
Speaker 1: so it's a business of afterl like, don't come into
Speaker 1: each and every day they could place it. You know,
Speaker 1: be ready to work no matter who you is. Ye,
Speaker 1: be ready to work because you know you have always
Speaker 1: have somebody working working for your job each and every day.
Speaker 1: So be ready to each and every day. You know,
Speaker 1: work like you work like you work to get there,
Speaker 1: and don't never work like you not want to be there.
Speaker 1: Each and every day. Yeah, it's always interesting with the
Speaker 1: draft comes around and guys get drafted. First of all,

Speaker 1: show him has done. With the fifth pick in the
Speaker 1: two NFL draft, the Denver Broncos select Bradley Chob defensive
Speaker 1: NC states, well, there goes a job. But it wasn't
Speaker 1: a Chubb that that some people thought early on big
Speaker 1: defense Van big guy that the big big guy can
Speaker 1: play gray athlete. This is this is a guy that
Speaker 1: that could be uh terrorizing this league for about fifteen
Speaker 1: years now at that position. Uh you've seen his kid
Speaker 1: play devon Um. He brings up. He brings a full package.
Speaker 1: Doesn't he love his game? Love his game? You know

Speaker 1: looking forward to a big year from you guys. Uh,
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of excitement out here. You guys
Speaker 1: are gonna play a big part of that. So we're
Speaker 1: looking forward forward to it. So thanks for thanks for
Speaker 1: coming and join us draft the Miami Dalcin's select me
Speaker 1: Come Fitzpatrick defensive back Alabama about it when uh we
Speaker 1: talked about when Patrick tam was up here, talk about
Speaker 1: this league and how it's spreading the field. It's three wide,
Speaker 1: it's four wide, it's empty backfields, it's all these types
Speaker 1: of things. You know, you talked about being in in
Speaker 1: in nickel packages so much. Look, I mean there's games
Speaker 1: where you started first first play of the game, your
Speaker 1: defense is out there. All of a sudden, you're in
Speaker 1: a nickel situation out there. Can't have enough cornerbacks. Where
Speaker 1: they went out and got a very very good player. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's a safety, not a corner safety. I think t
Speaker 1: J McDonald sounds to me is they're they're gonna be
Speaker 1: moving them up. Yep. Uh as a nickel maybe help
Speaker 1: a little bit more on the line. Is a big
Speaker 1: muscular guy. Because this guy didn't come in and sit
Speaker 1: and play and in a different safety than than Derwood James,
Speaker 1: a little more athletic. He's he's a match up he's
Speaker 1: a matchup guy. He's played corner, he's played safety, he's
Speaker 1: played in the slot. And when you're going up against
Speaker 1: teams that are gonna go four wide and actually go empty,
Speaker 1: you've got to have a guy to be able to
Speaker 1: match up. We thought it might be Smith or Edmonds
Speaker 1: from the linebacker a position, but maka Fitzpatrick. The guy
Speaker 1: had nine interceptions for return for a touchdown. So he's
Speaker 1: a playmaker from the secondary. He's played in every big
Speaker 1: game you can imagine throughout his collegiate career. And he
Speaker 1: knows he's you know, he's been coached for some of
Speaker 1: the things they're gonna be having him do. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be all over the place. I am a little surprised
Speaker 1: though the Dolphins. We're going linebacker, but we got a
Speaker 1: very good defensive player in Fitzpatrick, and all these guys
Speaker 1: are all gonna go screupid. Three or four guys are
Speaker 1: all gonna be gone the next now. So, but it
Speaker 1: begs a question, Joe, here here you are. You went
Speaker 1: with a you went the secondary with a safety h
Speaker 1: with with your first pick in the draft. You still
Speaker 1: need that linebacker out there. You still need to find
Speaker 1: some way to fit the bill. And Joe, I don't
Speaker 1: think from here in, I don't think there's free agents
Speaker 1: out there that you know, you kind of look out
Speaker 1: and say, well, we can still pick up this guy
Speaker 1: that they need to find somewhere in this draft. They
Speaker 1: need to find somebody that can step in and fill
Speaker 1: that role at that linebacker spot. Well, you still try
Speaker 1: to draft one. I hope this does take away from
Speaker 1: the need for a tight end, but both there must
Speaker 1: be a backup plan and anything one of those veteran
Speaker 1: guys that they have or the t J McDonald, although
Speaker 1: I still don't know about t J McDonald playing outside
Speaker 1: linebacker on first well, yeah, but I I think if
Speaker 1: you I think you can't line abop on first downs,
Speaker 1: I don't think you line abup the first down on
Speaker 1: the line, But I can see in passing situations where
Speaker 1: you bring them up there. Look, even if it's even
Speaker 1: if it's a rough up a tight end a little bit,
Speaker 1: try to give him a little a little resistance getting
Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmage or something, because you know
Speaker 1: t J. T J could be that tweener guy. You
Speaker 1: can put a little weight on him and do that.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what TJ is gonna think about that,
Speaker 1: although I think we found out last year when t
Speaker 1: J came back after that eight game suspension and and
Speaker 1: played with Rashaw Jones. That and you look, Adam Gates
Speaker 1: has talked about it during the offseason. There two the
Speaker 1: two of the same guys. You know, we have two
Speaker 1: of the same guys back there, and you need that
Speaker 1: guy that's a little more of a free safety back there.
Speaker 1: You know, you could do the thing about that having
Speaker 1: both those guys. Either one can go to the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and give you some run support, but but
Speaker 1: you need someone back there that can come and cover
Speaker 1: and get after. This is as much of covering coverage
Speaker 1: than than anything else at that position. By the way,
Speaker 1: I think we got one of the best nickel backs
Speaker 1: in football, right Bobby McCain at one of the two
Speaker 1: or three most improved years on the Miami Dolphins last year.
Speaker 1: And one look, one of the guys that we talked
Speaker 1: about the same way the year before Tony Lippett had
Speaker 1: that good year. He's he's coming back. So you know
Speaker 1: what you've done. You've given yourself a guy that can
Speaker 1: be a started guy, a starter for you in the secondary.
Speaker 1: Gonna play a lot. I don't care if he's a
Speaker 1: starter or not. He's gonna play a lot of downs.
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and and you've got a lot of depths now
Speaker 1: in that secondary that you need. Unfortunately, I think what
Speaker 1: this pick means for the Miami Dolphins is in the
Speaker 1: second round, you're looking at a linebacker. You're looking at
Speaker 1: somebody that's gonna be able to play that position in
Speaker 1: the tight end might slide to the third round or
Speaker 1: the fourth round. Both. This guy's just taking the eleventh pick.
Speaker 1: He can't be a rotation player. He's got to stay
Speaker 1: out on the field. And that's no. I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta get We can't no more rotating
Speaker 1: first round picks. No, you've gotta be a guy who's
Speaker 1: gonna come in there and make plays. And like I said,
Speaker 1: but but Joe, whether whether whether he's the first guy
Speaker 1: that runs out in the field, he gonna play, he's
Speaker 1: gonna play. It's funny, guys. There's no way the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins thought making Fitzpatrick would be around at number eleven. Oh.
Speaker 1: I think they thought both he and James are gonna
Speaker 1: be gone. Yeah, I think so. And I believe they
Speaker 1: were gonna have a front. They were staring at at
Speaker 1: Veia that the defensive tackle or trying to go back.
Speaker 1: I don't think they found a partner, and they said,
Speaker 1: you know what, we've got this guy rated highly on
Speaker 1: our board, probably about the seventh, seventh, eighth pick, probably
Speaker 1: be gone let's take the highest. I know who's happy
Speaker 1: with that pick? Don McNeil, Dwight Stevenson, Tony Nathan, all
Speaker 1: those all those Carter, all those Alabama guys or that's right,
Speaker 1: all all happy with this? Uh this this pick from
Speaker 1: uh it. Look, you look at what Alabama's done. You
Speaker 1: you talk about guys talk about well not only that,
Speaker 1: but you talk about guys that have been in the fire,
Speaker 1: big game, you know, championship games, big SEC matchups, SEC
Speaker 1: championship games, playing in you know, those those prime time
Speaker 1: Saturday night games every other week. So these guys are
Speaker 1: ready to step in. This league is not gonna be
Speaker 1: too big for those guys that come out Alabama. And
Speaker 1: you've got that kind of player coming to the Miami Dolphin.
Speaker 1: You know. The sad part is can Jimmy just called
Speaker 1: this while we're here. He just pointed to me before
Speaker 1: the pick. My gut told me a linebacker. But I mean,
Speaker 1: he's the highest rated player probably on the board, on
Speaker 1: their board, no question at that time. Bobby McCain. We're
Speaker 1: just talking about Bobby McCain up here, and Joe and
Speaker 1: Walt Dakins coming up. Walt Dakins, Bobby McCain. Two guys
Speaker 1: that like to have a little on No listen, I
Speaker 1: I follow you. I follow all takings on social media, man,
Speaker 1: all that awesome media star. Now, how you doing many Bobby?
Speaker 1: How you doing? My man? Alright? First of all, I
Speaker 1: gotta uh, I gotta get your thoughts, uh making Fitzpatrick,
Speaker 1: Uh the safety from Alabama with a pick? What do
Speaker 1: you think about that? Good pick? Man? Good pick? He's
Speaker 1: a ball ball player, you know, we get We're happy
Speaker 1: to have him, you know, a good guy to having
Speaker 1: a room and uh, like I said, we can't wait
Speaker 1: from to join us. You guys are gonna have in
Speaker 1: that room, and that's gonna be a very competitive room
Speaker 1: in there, and that in that secondary, isn't it? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely definitely, Uh like Bobby saying, it's a great pick,
Speaker 1: aggressive player and we can't wait to play with him.
Speaker 1: This is all. This is all about getting more takeaways,
Speaker 1: right that, This is about picking up the numbers. We
Speaker 1: guys are gonna make more plays right exactly exactly, Blaze
Speaker 1: make put the ball in offense his hands, getting low
Speaker 1: him to score touchdowns, win ball games. Bobby, we talked
Speaker 1: about a little bit uh before before this pick and
Speaker 1: afterwards about your game last year. Um, you continually got
Speaker 1: better when you've been with this football team. And boy,
Speaker 1: you made a huge leap last year. You stepped outside,
Speaker 1: played cornerback, did a great job there. When you stepped
Speaker 1: inside in the in the nickel, in the nickel die packages,
Speaker 1: you were making plays there. What did you do to
Speaker 1: make your make that big leap that you made last year?
Speaker 1: Just be consistent, consistent with technique, consistent on what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: You know, get get you a, get you a ritual
Speaker 1: that you do every every week wee get and week out.
Speaker 1: That that that makes you comfortable, you know. And at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, go out and
Speaker 1: playing football at the end, that's what I love to do.
Speaker 1: I love to play ball. I love to be with
Speaker 1: my boys, looking with my brothers, you know, and going
Speaker 1: to war Walter, what about you? You're coming back? How
Speaker 1: you feeling? What are your expectations? Uh? Feels great to
Speaker 1: be back. First off, So all the season was was
Speaker 1: was a scary wine. But um, glad to be back
Speaker 1: in Miami and Uh, like you said, I want to
Speaker 1: go out with my boys man and just go ball.
Speaker 1: You know. We we go out every Sunday and put
Speaker 1: it all out there on the line. So I mean,
Speaker 1: just having another year, another season to do that, just
Speaker 1: just a great emotional feeling for me and the fact
Speaker 1: that we're bringing their new characters. Now. I just want
Speaker 1: to work with those guys and and be the best
Speaker 1: team we can possibly be. Well, you're so good on
Speaker 1: special teams. I thought we're gonna lose you, young guy.
Speaker 1: I I thought you were gone. I really did, you know?
Speaker 1: Obviously a chancel. It's great to have you back. Yes,
Speaker 1: where you just where you wanted to stay? Was that
Speaker 1: you think you're gonna be somewhere else now that I mean,
Speaker 1: it was scary because I didn't know where I would be.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I kept it like Miami's
Speaker 1: home for me. This is my second home. I'm from
Speaker 1: North Carolina, but this is my second home. When I
Speaker 1: say I'm going home, everybody knows I'm going to Miami.
Speaker 1: So Miami is where I need to be. I don't
Speaker 1: think there's any question in anybody's mind that, uh, everybody
Speaker 1: in that building wasn't satisfied with six and ten last year.
Speaker 1: You want to get back to to a football team
Speaker 1: that's gonna challenge for the playoffs and challenge in the
Speaker 1: playoffs to move through. There's been some changes offensively and
Speaker 1: defensively with his football team. You've had a chance to
Speaker 1: get to there with the coaches now a little bit.
Speaker 1: What is the feeling in the locker room with the
Speaker 1: group that you guys have right now that you're getting
Speaker 1: ready to go to bad with no woman happy with
Speaker 1: six and ten. Like you said, we weren't happy, The
Speaker 1: fans weren't happy, the city wasn't happy, and uh, we
Speaker 1: look for bigger and better. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you know, we had to make some changes and there
Speaker 1: were tough changes. There were big pieces of the team.
Speaker 1: Uh gods, people that guys didn't want to see go,
Speaker 1: but they at the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 1: we're here to win ball games, you know. And with
Speaker 1: the guys that we have, we got a great chemistry.
Speaker 1: We have a great family. You know, it's a brotherhood
Speaker 1: in there. And each and every day when put in
Speaker 1: the work, and it's not gonna be the same, I
Speaker 1: guarantee it all right. So you and uh Danny m
Speaker 1: Mondov had some great battles have in New England. I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to bring up anything, but like, so what's
Speaker 1: out like now is your teammate. You can't can't go
Speaker 1: out and get fines and and get kicked out of
Speaker 1: the game. How's that gonna be? You know, like that's
Speaker 1: my boy. We uh yeah, we talked it up. Man.

Speaker 1: We're we're playing for We're heading for the same thing
Speaker 1: and uh, the same thing you guys want to do
Speaker 1: is win. Uh. You look at this. This is a
Speaker 1: young football team, this Miamied often team. You add another
Speaker 1: young football player, you got more picks coming that are
Speaker 1: gonna gonna continue to add this football team. Uh do
Speaker 1: you feel like that youthful enthusiasm on this team, and
Speaker 1: you have some veterans out there that can can kind
Speaker 1: of help lift you a little bit. But you think
Speaker 1: young guys in this team can really take control and
Speaker 1: put this team in their shoulders and make this not
Speaker 1: not be a one year thing, not being known be
Speaker 1: be where this is what this team is gonna be
Speaker 1: a continual playoff contender, year in and year out. See'all

Speaker 1: new Miami is is we're trying to change the coaches.
Speaker 1: We're trying to change the coach and actually win games
Speaker 1: and go out there every Sunday and ball out and
Speaker 1: and bring what this city needs, what the state needs,
Speaker 1: you know, a winning program. So we're gonna go out
Speaker 1: there and give it all. Yeah, man, like Wall said,
Speaker 1: you know, young, We've got young guys, We've got old
Speaker 1: guys got in between. You know, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, there's guys that's gonna put it all on
Speaker 1: the line. Those guys gonna sacrifice for the guy beside him.
Speaker 1: And I trust wal like I trusted to bet on
Speaker 1: my right, you know at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: and that's that's what it's about. It. Like I said, brotherhood, family,
Speaker 1: and we're looking at win ball games, no excuses. So
Speaker 1: what what's the what's just? What's now? Let me kind
Speaker 1: of shift gears here a little bit. You getting ready
Speaker 1: to be on TV or what? What are you? Uh?
Speaker 1: What are you getting yourself ready for? Post? You still
Speaker 1: got a lot of years to play. I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to get you out of the league too early. You
Speaker 1: still got a long way to go, but you're kind
Speaker 1: of getting yourself ready for afterwards or while. Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: working with all guys all season. I come and kicking
Speaker 1: with all, so I know you see that. I man, Bob,
Speaker 1: you're trying to replace y'all in about ten fifteen years.
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. I only need about
Speaker 1: five more about a question? Am I young guy? Old? No?
Speaker 1: You definitely got You're a big bett Now. I'm with it.
Speaker 1: I'm with that. That ain't a bet. Hey, I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about you know, people here nickel and
Speaker 1: they hear dime. I don't think people realize how many
Speaker 1: snaps per game, Nickel. What what is the seventy snaps. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's about seven even close to the snaps in
Speaker 1: the game. You know, it's uh, like I said, it's
Speaker 1: it's eleven men defense. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: the way the game's changed, the way the games evolving.
Speaker 1: There's more receivers on the field. You got ten personnel,
Speaker 1: eleven personnel. They want to put the ball in guy's hands,
Speaker 1: and you know, at the end of day, it's our
Speaker 1: job to stop him. So yeah, Nickel dim, there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of that this year. You know, it's
Speaker 1: always gonna be a lot in the league without throughout
Speaker 1: the league. The game's changing, the games evolving, and um,
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, just stay tuned. Is is
Speaker 1: we're really excited for what's coming. And you look at
Speaker 1: the second or you had Minka. You know, you had
Speaker 1: the tank last year, you had acts the year before.
Speaker 1: You guys are back there. A lot of guys are.
Speaker 1: And the other thing that the changes on the on
Speaker 1: the on the defensive front, a lot of defensive ends
Speaker 1: coming in now, pressure up front, a lot of good
Speaker 1: talent in the back, uh, covering the you know, covering
Speaker 1: uh and going after the football. Attacking the football, and
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the change in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Get that pressure, get as many defensive ends where you
Speaker 1: gotta move him inside, get as much as you can
Speaker 1: up there and and get that ball up for grabs
Speaker 1: and let you guys go after. It seems to be
Speaker 1: the blueprint in this league right now for success. That's
Speaker 1: the way it works, that's where it works. You see,
Speaker 1: we've got can Wait coming back, we got Quinn coming in,
Speaker 1: We've got Charles Harris. Uh. Those guys are high energy,
Speaker 1: big motor guys. So I mean we let them get
Speaker 1: at the quarterback and we gotta cover for a couple
Speaker 1: of seconds. Hopefully we'll get the job done. No one
Speaker 1: mentioned William Hayes. I thought he was one of the
Speaker 1: great picks last year and you know people talking about
Speaker 1: it was a run guy. I think that guy, he's
Speaker 1: he's he's the full package, that a motor. It's nice
Speaker 1: to see him come back and add to that group. Man, Greg.
Speaker 1: He brings great energy, great player. You know, he's he's
Speaker 1: a big bet in the room, big bet in the
Speaker 1: locker room. We're happy to have him back. Did uh
Speaker 1: did you tell you time off? I went over to camp,
Speaker 1: like right after season. It seemed like you're already there,
Speaker 1: you and Charles Harry, you guys are already working out.
Speaker 1: Got a vacation or you just get right back. Take
Speaker 1: a little time, maybe take a week or two off,
Speaker 1: but you gotta get right to it. Man's long season
Speaker 1: ahead of you. And uh, you know, you want to
Speaker 1: make sure you're healthy. You want to make sure that
Speaker 1: I want to be there for all sixteen sixteen plus,
Speaker 1: you know, so hopefully twenty games we played this year.
Speaker 1: And and you know, like I said, it's like I said,
Speaker 1: we're looking for really big things coming. How close is
Speaker 1: this football team? Guys in the locker room? We I
Speaker 1: think we saw it Joe last year. We're in San
Speaker 1: Diego and spent some time or a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: and I saw you guys together, and it just seems
Speaker 1: like a continuous to carry on with this team. Seems
Speaker 1: like it's a very very close knit. We talked each
Speaker 1: other brothers, you know, we uh, we hang out with
Speaker 1: each other. We talked trash with each other. We've grown
Speaker 1: with each other. Like you gotta understand, we've been with
Speaker 1: some of these guys for four or five years, you know, man, Bobby.
Speaker 1: We have been I've been with Bobby since he came in,
Speaker 1: so um, we've grown and built the relationship and if
Speaker 1: I say something, he knows what I'm talking about. We
Speaker 1: just have that type of relationship. And we bring in
Speaker 1: all the guys like that. We don't have no bad
Speaker 1: blood and no beef. We just come in and try
Speaker 1: to build a team. We're trying to build a great
Speaker 1: program here keeping guys for a long time. I mean
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, you with guys long enough. I
Speaker 1: know there's times out of the field where you're in
Speaker 1: a situation where you can just look over at the
Speaker 1: guy next to you, don't even have to say anything.
Speaker 1: They know what you're thinking, the same train of thought.
Speaker 1: And I think you guys are really getting to that
Speaker 1: area where that's the kind of kind of group you
Speaker 1: have on I really on both sides of the ball
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, definitely. You know, the chemistry is close.
Speaker 1: Chemistry is really close. And uh, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: there's like a lot of good things going on in
Speaker 1: this locker room. And um, you know, people people don't
Speaker 1: get to see that, people get to see the work
Speaker 1: we put in. People don't get to see the blood,
Speaker 1: sweat and tears we put on each and every day
Speaker 1: they just see you know that on Sunday, what happens
Speaker 1: the outcome or you know, at the end of the day, man,
Speaker 1: it's a band of brothers. Man, we're gonna steak together.
Speaker 1: Regardless of thinking things. That chemistry thing is important. It's
Speaker 1: really it's not sexy to talk about. You know, it's
Speaker 1: about w and els, but having guys that like each
Speaker 1: other they want to be together versus when things aren't
Speaker 1: going well and guys get salty and her pouting and say,
Speaker 1: you gotta keep guys together, don't you. Yeah, that's definitely important.
Speaker 1: That's definitely important, man, because like you said, this past
Speaker 1: year went six and ten and that wasn't good enough
Speaker 1: for me, and I know it wasn't good enough for him.
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, you know, people
Speaker 1: are gonna clash. You can talk bad about you, but
Speaker 1: then the day you gotta pick it up and pick
Speaker 1: each other up. That's what that's what, that's what matters,
Speaker 1: picking each other up. And let's go and move the
Speaker 1: next play, moving next series, moving next game. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you something, Kenyan Drake. It's a pretty tough running guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what about that little dog he carries around? Well, let
Speaker 1: me let's talk about that little dog. What kind of
Speaker 1: dog is heard? Is a tough dog called I thinks
Speaker 1: lollipop or something like that. He told me it was tough,
Speaker 1: So I'll take his mother for I'll take his word
Speaker 1: from you. Haven't seen the dog. I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: I have not fevor a little dog, a little little tup.
Speaker 1: You gotta watch. I gotta have a I have a
Speaker 1: Yorkie at home, so I got one of them to
Speaker 1: pete pete Yorky. At all you guys, both of you
Speaker 1: single Mary, We are you guys? At? Where are you guys? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Single single? I saw Bobby grabbed his phone and one
Speaker 1: of his girls probably just called him up, blowing him
Speaker 1: up a little bit, you guys sticking broward or date
Speaker 1: or you like to make sit up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Let him mess it that one. Now we're gonna get
Speaker 1: you guys. You are doing. I think you're knocking about
Speaker 1: two at the time you get home. All right, we
Speaker 1: gotta pick in here and then then we're gonna let
Speaker 1: you guys go. Uh. It's the New Orleans Safe fourteen
Speaker 1: using next year's one and pick one seven in this
Speaker 1: year's draft to come from twenty seven to fourteen. Could
Speaker 1: this be a night that was starting off with a
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner and then with pick fourteen being another
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner, becoming the first draft since nine to
Speaker 1: half five first round quarterbacks in one night, and it
Speaker 1: would be done in the first fourteen selections, which then
Speaker 1: puts Mason Rudolf on mclock potentially. Well, it's been thirty
Speaker 1: five years since he had six the vaunted free draft
Speaker 1: to Kelly Marino Elway Draft, or as Jets fans have
Speaker 1: referred to it, the O'Brien Draft. I don't mean a
Speaker 1: little bit a little like the fans here, there's this
Speaker 1: is this is so exciting because I think he watched
Speaker 1: what Bill O'Brien did in Houston last here with the
Speaker 1: Shawn blockson and this is the next level. The Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers have traded the fourteenth pick to the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. With the fourteenth pick in the two thousand
Speaker 1: eighteen NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints select Marcus steven Port.
Speaker 1: So it was Marcus dab of poy not woe up
Speaker 1: the defensive and out of uh University of Texas, San Antonio.
Speaker 1: Larry Coker's team. Larry Cooker started that time about didn't
Speaker 1: he you know about I think Mike take take Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson with that pick on Joe, I did. I thought
Speaker 1: Lamar is gonna be there. You know. It's amazing though.
Speaker 1: It's about pass rush yep, it's about covering yep, and
Speaker 1: take them all the way. It's just a big passing game, now,
Speaker 1: isn't it? A lot of it? A lot of it,
Speaker 1: a lot of it. Hey, guys, you want to thank
Speaker 1: you for stopping by a wall taking man. You guys

Speaker 1: Let me remind you. The party goes on to eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock here at my right, eleven o'clock here at hard
Speaker 1: Rock Stadium, so you don't have to go. You can
Speaker 1: hang around. The bar still open, still got some food
Speaker 1: back there, the garage sales still going on, so a
Speaker 1: lot of things to do here throughout the rest of
Speaker 1: the night. You can continue to watch the rest of
Speaker 1: the first round as it goes on right now. And uh,
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting talk to this is gonna be
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different draft in the first
Speaker 1: round so far, and and it's how we saw some
Speaker 1: change and saw some surprises with Denzil a Ward going early. Uh,
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen getting kind of snatched right before that. You know,
Speaker 1: it gets taken just before the Dolphins and Buffalo Bills
Speaker 1: make a move up. And now you're kind of thinking,
Speaker 1: do where the Dolphins really gonna take him? Who was
Speaker 1: there or not? And you know, you don't know where
Speaker 1: they're thinking. They may have taken the cornerback anyway, it
Speaker 1: looks like Arizona thought they were yeah, no doubt, pumped
Speaker 1: up one ahead of them. They weren't gonna wait to
Speaker 1: see how Adam gaateson those guys felt. And you know
Speaker 1: what with the Miami Dolphins getting Fitzpatrick, the way that
Speaker 1: the league has gone, if you let it sink in
Speaker 1: a little bit, maybe that linebacker that we were all craving.
Speaker 1: And I still think if Smith was there, the Dolphins
Speaker 1: would have taken him. But the way the NFL is
Speaker 1: going now, that linebacker maybe coming off the field a
Speaker 1: little bit more, and you may be going to nickel
Speaker 1: one dime. So you got Bobby on one side and
Speaker 1: Make on the other, and and you kind of mix
Speaker 1: and match and match up that way. So you got
Speaker 1: a great player as stay and put at a leven. Well, well,
Speaker 1: the one thing, you know, you did get a very
Speaker 1: good player. I mean, this guy is ready to get
Speaker 1: out here and play. Athletic guy. He'll come up in head,
Speaker 1: he can support, like you said, Joe safety, Blitz will
Speaker 1: come in and rush the quarterback and do a lot
Speaker 1: of things. And and and that. You know, I can't
Speaker 1: say enough about that Alabama pedigree and the quality of
Speaker 1: games that they played in. Uh, really makes these guys
Speaker 1: ready to come in and play at a high level.
Speaker 1: One of the many bad numbers a year ago on
Speaker 1: that six and ten team. You have not enough takeaways. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is no question. They looked at this guy his
Speaker 1: hands on the football, so we got we gotta get
Speaker 1: more and he can help us. You have no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. And uh, we'll see. So it's still Look,
Speaker 1: there's still positions and need for the Miami Dolphins. We
Speaker 1: talked about lineback, we talked about tight end, another defensive linemen, tackle,
Speaker 1: Those needs are still there. Uh, and the Dolphins have
Speaker 1: two more days to address those. A second round. Uh,
Speaker 1: they got second and then Yeah, so they're they got
Speaker 1: to hit those three positions you just talked about. Gotta
Speaker 1: hit those, gotta be hit in the next four Yeah,
Speaker 1: in the first four picks. They've got to be done.
Speaker 1: They they've got to be taken care of. So we'll
Speaker 1: see if they can get that done. But guys, been
Speaker 1: been great, being been great being here with the fake
Speaker 1: Thank you, no doubt. Hope everyone had fun. And like
Speaker 1: I said, football seasons back, this is the start looking
Speaker 1: for big things out here at hard Rock Stadium all
Speaker 1: this year from our Miami Dolphins. And we're looking for
Speaker 1: big things out of you fans. Hope to see you
Speaker 1: here each and every Sunday when the Miami Dolphins line up,
