The run game got clicking. We heard 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.000 from Austin Jackson on that. We saw Jalen Wright have 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:38.000 a couple of big runs. I got some more offensive 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.479 line notes for you guys. We saw more growth from 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.760 quarterback to a tongue of bailoa.

Ye, daff I gotta 0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:59.920 catch my breath, man, I am fired up. It was 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.080 a shorter practice, partially indoors, partially outdoors. Uh, the South 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.640 Florida weather does not always uh what's the word cooperate? 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.520 Almost said participate. It definitely participates, but it does not 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.320 always cooperate. I will say this. Today was the first 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.000 Dolphins training camp practice where I didn't break a sweat 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:17.720 because it was raining and it was windy and it 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.280 wasn't that hot that the Dolphins got some valuable work in. 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.920 I want to kick off the podcast though, with a 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.440 few news items, because coach McDaniel wade in on a 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.840 few you know, rostered things, certain situations with guys, and 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:29.720 I think it's important to. 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:30.760 Pick it up with some of the news. He lets 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:31.560 go ahead and do that. 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.319 Off the top, slow down, Travis got a long way 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.640 to go here, Leam Eichenberger, the status of him. Off 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.840 the top, here's coach McDaniel on the Dolphins offensive lineman. 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:46.840 Uh Liam is weak. What is that regular season? 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.840 I'm not gonna put a timeline on it, and I 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:56.440 wouldn't bet against you know, arguably, it's tough of a player. 0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:00.360 As I've been around, he's he's played in football games 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.360 that a majority of players that have coached wouldn't be 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:09.640 able to. So I'm I'm feeling good about an unknown 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:15.440 timeline because of the player, But I don't It's not 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.400 like a season ender or anything like that. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.960 He fought to Mela Fan, who was also placed on 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.760 a on a list, it's the non football injury list. 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:25.760 Coach McDaniel weighed in on that. 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:31.400 I would say, it's, uh, it's nothing that I'm worried about, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:36.359 and it's rooted in a good amount of preventative nature. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.520 And a third player was added to the I guess 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.520 the one of the inactive lists, right, non football injury list, 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:46.280 the pup Waller like Liam on Pup. Here's coach McDaniel 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.079 on that decision. 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:52.200 You know you're you're trying to be responsible. Literally, there's 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.040 no gravity to it. 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:54.880 It's just that. 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:01.200 This is a very well conditioned athlete who's in great shape. 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:08.920 There's a zero to sixty element in science in general 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:14.760 that you try to avoid, and so being preventative and 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.480 responsible as he gets his feet wet. That was our 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:27.000 motivation and excited to not be mad at myself on 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.600 day two when I was like what am I doing? 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.840 And the final roster moves that were announced on Tuesday 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.880 is that the Dolphins released quarterback Brett Gabert and signed 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.360 an offensive lineman Daniel Bruntskill, who we talked about on 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.160 the podcast as a really good potential fit here for 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.440 a guy that could compete for swing work on the interior, 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.240 can play some tackle in a pinch, has some center experience. 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.560 Played four years in San Francisco with forty two starts there, 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.119 had twenty four starts the last two years in Tennessee. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.080 But it's that familiarity with coach McDaniel. We're playing with 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:57.960 him for four years or playing for him for four 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.080 years on the offensive line. All of a sudden, now Miami, 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.040 we're gonna talk plenty of o line today. And how 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.720 impressed I was by the first five, But now, all 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.480 of a sudden, you've got guys that can play swing 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.040 spots on the interior, on the outside, do a little 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.600 bit of both. And Daniel Brunskill fits that mold big time. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.600 Starting an experience in two places, experience in the scheme, 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.960 I asked coach McDaniel, West stands out about his game, 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.240 but also how important is that relationship you had with 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.000 him going back to San Francisco. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:28.280 It's cool to have relationships with players where you're fortunate 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:33.599 enough to really see the whole journey, and you know, 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:38.360 with with Brunskill in particular, you know, I remember watching 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:44.520 man well, what was it, There was a there was 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:49.200 a league that he was playing in that wasn't college, 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.520 and it wasn't the NFL, and it. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.240 Escapes me right now, but don't judge me. 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.360 And he uh, I got to watch him, you know, 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.840 be a new guy on the team and earn a 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:07.919 roster spot and with nothing promised, and then to watch 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.960 him develop his games so that he could start in 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.320 the National Football League and have a real career at 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.279 several positions. That's it's cool to add a guy that 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:18.920 you get to be a part of the process. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.600 So what we're getting, uh is. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:27.720 And a guy that not only helps the offensive line, 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:29.640 but helps the whole whole team. 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:31.000 And and that the more. 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.240 Guys you add that that are really focused on being 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.840 a part of a winning football team and put prioritize 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:39.599 that over everything else. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:45.239 That the the the strength of the masses is real. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.960 And you know, I know one thing from Dan Brunskill 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:53.240 is the dude is gonna be over prepared competitive. He's 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.960 assuming right now that you guys have nothing good to 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.080 say about him, and he's in He's gonna work to 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.760 prove you otherwise that how he operates. And that's a 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.880 mentality I think is important in the NFL. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.440 And then one additional news item here to conclude practice. 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.800 On the last play of practice, the Dolphins did lose 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.440 a player, Byron Mattos went down and was put on 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.120 a stretcher and air looked into a medical facility for 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.479 further evaluation. He was in stable condition, so that was 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.880 good to see. But that's how practice concluded today here 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:27.680 in Miami Gardens. Speaking of practice, it was earlier than 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.320 it has been in years past, and that was something 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.240 the Dolphins were intentional about. And I've talked about this 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:37.040 the entire offseason with the Dolphins approach to roster building 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.720 and how they can attack certain things within the shortcomings 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.640 they've experienced in the recent years. Talked about it on 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:47.080 yesterday's podcast as recent as yesterday, and the practice time 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.520 changes was part of that, and I think it's a 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.200 good look at how amenable coach McDaniel and his staff 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.760 are to trying to find different ways to curate what 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.200 will make the most successful products in the football field. 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.440 And changing the practice time, a lot of stuff went 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.720 into that. I'll go ahead and let coach finish our 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.320 news item dump here off the top of the podcast. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:10.880 There's a lot of reasons that are very specific to 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:16.880 this particular team and this particular training camp. 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.520 You know, with you know, you get used to a ramp. 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:26.120 Up period in in reps and stuff, and and being 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.800 able to do that and and really in the most 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.920 vulnerable portion of camp, try to minimize some soft tissue 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.160 a little bit, maybe avoid some. 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.360 Uh you know, some days where you're. 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.840 Having to stop practice in the middle of things and 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.600 go from grass cleats onto turf, you know, weather stuff. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.560 And then you know, we also have some challenging things 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:58.440 that I'm factoring in moving forward in the uh, you know, 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.880 within the pre within the pre season where you have 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.200 we're going on the road and spending some time away 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:09.200 and have some joint practices and you know, several several 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:16.520 competitive physical practices and games in a ten day period. 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:16.680 So we need all hands on deck. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:21.600 And then you know that by that point where we've 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.360 gone on the road and we come back to Florida, 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.800 we'll we'll adjust to time, keep things fresh and and 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.240 compete against the heat as we always do. So a 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:36.080 lot of things at play. It was very very thought out. 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.080 All right, there you go, there's coach will come back 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.840 to him for a couple more comments on some specific players, 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.760 but I wanted to start with this because as the 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.199 weather did not cooperate early on in practice, we were 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.559 in the indoor facility. And I've communicated this with you 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.320 guys in the past and the show. It just kind 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.959 of changes the landscape for how I cover practice. And 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.240 I don't have my laptop out, I can't fire off 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.720 the notes as quickly. I just don't have the access 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.160 to get all my thoughts down besides typing on my 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.280 phone right away. But it does give me a different 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.280 view of the practice field where we're kind of right 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.000 on top of the offensive line during the individual drills, 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.680 and I always appreciate that because that's usually the group 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.160 it's furthest away from the advantage point we have on 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.520 the field in the outdoor facility, and it gives you 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.320 a chance to really hone in on those individual drills. 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.240 And I got to tell you guys, the way I 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:29.720 just took in Patrick Paul and James Daniels and jonahsavit Naya. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.520 They were doing these combination blocks, which is everyday thing, 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.320 right the individual drills. It's not like something crazy new 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.040 that you don't expect. It's the same type of stuff 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.400 you wrapped the technique rep the drills, same as any 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.360 other sport, and they were firing off the football, which 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:44.920 you know is very important here. You know, it's a 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.120 comment I've made about every single player on the offensive 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.320 line who can get out of their stance out of 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.600 the blocks faster than the guy across from them. And 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.920 that's kind of the genesis of this offense and the 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.520 basis of the outside zone game, which sets up the 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.960 rest of the offense for how it wants to attack defenses. 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.760 And I knew this about Jonah. We've talked about it 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.560 on the podcast, We've broken down his film for you 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.520 guys on HQ and every different avenue of content we do. 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.559 But the way he was firing out of his stance 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.920 and impacting the bag with good pad level and leverage 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.480 and pop and you could hear it, and driving guys 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.120 off the football even though it was, you know, an 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.640 offensive line and holding a bag. I was like, dude, 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.560 that just doesn't look like anything else I've seen. And 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.640 then Kyle Krabs great lockdown. Dolphin's host is next to me, 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.440 and I keep telling him, please watch seventy two over 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.160 here and tell me what you think. And we both 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:32.800 look up at the same time and he gets into 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.720 a rep and just fires off the ball and does 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.920 the best rep of the ones I'm just talking about. 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.839 And sometimes I love having Kyle here because we'll see 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.280 something and just be on the exact same wavelength and 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.920 it's a nonverbal communication, like just eye contact, like oh, 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:50.560 like I remember one time Tua made a throw and 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.599 we were like, buddy, that'll play. That'll work to a 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.040 And so I'm just very very excited about what that 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.680 looks like. What it looked like for James Daniels in 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.240 his first training camp practice the Miami Dolphins and then 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:08.600 watching Patrick Paul settle into his pass sets and his punch. 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.920 And this is a guy that he's talked about his 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.400 time at Houston as a player that was doing more 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.400 catching technique where you kind of throw the hands out 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.320 wide and absorb the rush into your chest and rely 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.920 upon elite physical traits to win the rep that way. 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.280 And he won that way, but it wasn't what you 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:24.880 want to teach him as far as like how to 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.120 play in this offense. So he had to kind of 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.640 relearn technique and how to place his hands and where 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.760 to throw the punch and how to settle into reps 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.280 or to pass sets. And I'm watching him go through 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.240 this individual drill where he's just at a really nice 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.200 stance right, like his crouch is good, the knee bend 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.320 is good, He's not bending at the waste. He's into 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.120 a good, solid stance where you can throw that punch 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.200 and move laterally, which you have to do in this 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.320 offense obviously. And then the way Patrick Paul put that 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.520 together in team drills, I thought he was one of 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.280 the best players, if not the best player on the 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.319 field all day. A couple of two of his passes 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.240 had plenty of time to throw, and it was because 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.120 of a one on one block from Patrick Paul beating 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.920 Bradley Chubb beating Chop Robinson getting movement in the running game, 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.800 Jalen Wright had a big run off of his butt 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.000 where Paul was able to seal the edge and really 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.640 just kind of keep that force defender at bay. So 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.000 Patrick Paul I looked like the product that I wanted 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:16.959 to see here on day one. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.040 Albeit no pads. 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.439 One day of practice, not gonna like put him in 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:21.960 the Hall of Fame, but I thought he was really 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.480 really good out there at practice. I thought Jonah's work 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.800 firing off the football really paid dividends in the team 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.800 drills in terms of how you know the big runs 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.880 to that they came from these cutback lanes where Jalen 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.560 Wright or Devon h Cham would press a gap and 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.880 then find a cutback lane. And the way Jonah could 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.960 fold down that front side of the offensive line and 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.400 then create that cutback lane for the running back. It 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.720 was noticeable as tangible, and so I thought that was 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.079 really impressive. James Daniels got some work in there. Key 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.240 On Smith I think looks like just another year of 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.520 development for him in terms of his body type and 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.480 how good he looks and how fast he looks in 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.960 his position, flexibility to play multiple spots. So I was 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.080 pretty impressed by the offensive line. Those guys stood out 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.560 the most. Austin Jackson got some surge as well. He 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.840 had some really good one on one bounds with Bradley Chubb. 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.960 Chubb got him once for I think you could call 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.800 it a sackle, though I think it ended up being 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.839 on the right guard, which I think was Jackson Carmen 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.040 on that particular rep. They rotate guys a lot in 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.280 this offense, but man, those those front five guys really 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.240 really really impressive upfront so far on Day one and 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.960 the way that the individual drills carried over to team drills. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:28.959 That was the most impressive part of the game of 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.120 the day, I should say, And to get that vantage 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.600 point in practice. It makes me excited to watch how 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.720 these guys develop and how things go because we've heard 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.480 Butch Berry talk in the past about how, like the 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.920 results right now really aren't aren't what matters, Like who cares? 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.880 I saw a Cowboys fan account today tweeting about Gealen 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.199 Hurts going like seven for twenty one in practice. I'm like, Okay, well, 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:49.920 what was the last time he was on a football 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:50.480 field in the game? 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:50.960 What did he do? 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.080 Like he threw for three touchdowns in a Super Bowl? 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.560 So I don't really care about that other stuff. And 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.920 Butch Berry's talked about, you know, this baseline of installing 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.079 certain things, you know, harping on these techniques and fundamentals, 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.640 then you grow and expand His camp goes along to 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.720 see them at that point here in day one, with 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.319 the athletic traits that just jump off the field at 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.160 you if you're watching for it. I'm really encouraged by that, 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.360 really impressed by that, And that goes off the heels 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.240 of adding a player like Daniel Brunskill, who I just 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.760 thought was the perfect addition to the offensive line, especially 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.800 in the potential absence of Leam Eikenberg. He's got that 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.120 toughness that you know, kind of the doubted mentality that 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.040 that coach me down and talked about earlier, can play 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.800 multiple spots. I just I'm really bullish on where this 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.440 offensive line can get to this year. And I'll conclude 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.680 this idea the segment with a quote here from Austin Jackson, 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.480 who has asked about his work in the Running game 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.120 and how excited he is for what he thinks this 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.400 Dolphins offense or what he knows because he's part of 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.160 the team, what he knows is going to look like 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:47.680 this year in terms of how the running game looks. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:48.880 Here's Austin Jackson. 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.480 You're gonna see all types of line. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.840 I'm really excited for our run game this year as 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.960 well as our past game, but most of our run game, 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.640 just because that's kind of what we hang our head 0:14:58.680 --> 0:14:59.320 on in this system. 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.360 We're very proud, We're very proud of the techniques. 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:06.040 We used to block, and yeah, we're we're looking forward 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.720 for everybody, every every concept we have now. 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:09.840 I think that's instructive. 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.560 And the reason I wanted to play that was because 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.080 you've heard this from anybody that evaluates film for a living, 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.840 or national reporters, or anybody that's you know, into these 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.440 InVogue play callers of the last you know, five ten 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.640 years off the Shanahan McVeigh tree, and they'll tell you 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.840 the Dolphins have one of, if not the most expansive 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.120 run game in the NFL. And the other team that 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:31.600 you put up there is the forty nine ers in 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.600 the Rams, right, two teams that came off that same 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.680 coaching tree as far as McVeigh and Shanahan go. And 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.360 I think about that, I think about what we've seen 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.360 from the last few years of the Dolphins, and last year, 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.520 I think the execution came up short, more so than 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.760 the game plan itself, just in terms of how it 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:51.360 was blocked. But to think about getting these pieces up 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.320 front right, to get to Patrick Paul in place and 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:57.160 get him humming hopefully, and to get Aaron Brewer in 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.000 his second year, and to get Jonah and to get 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:03.000 James and what their athletic profile and their overall football 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.160 composition looks like. I think is potentially a big upgrade 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.240 at that position with Austin Jackson's return, and then you 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.880 add another layer to that with which is, you know, 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.920 an added year of experience in the system within the 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.240 offense with the quarterback, with the same running backs a 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.800 Chan Jalen Wright coming back, and so much continuity there, 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.720 same offensive line coach. It excites me about how they 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.040 can expand the menu from that standpoint. If this run 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:27.680 game can get to that point that can expand their 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:31.800 run game menu. It just adds more layers of opportunity 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.560 to find Reek and Waddle because, like to me, this 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.400 offense when it runs the ball, you're hitting jabs and 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.400 then you set the jabs up for the right hook, 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.240 which is Waddle or Reek on a eighty yard touchdown. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.760 So yeah, man, I think there's a lot to be 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.920 excited about in that regard with the running backs, the 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.240 offensive line, and how it can impact the rest of 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.640 the team from a schematic standpoint in the offense and 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.800 the quarterback and ultimately the passing game, which we talked 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.480 about it if you can throw the ball as well 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.000 as anybody else, you're going to win games in this league. 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:00.960 Let's go ahead and take a break right there. Come 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.320 back on the other side. I have one more quote 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.240 here from Austin Jackson. I'll play on the other side, 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:06.760 but I want to get back into the run game 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.119 with Jalen Wright and talk about his big day on 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.479 Day one. That's Next Draft Time podcast, brought to you 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:12.200 by AutoNation. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.959 Oh, there's something that we as the players decided. You know, 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:22.360 we have pre snat penalties. We're gonna punish ourselves for that. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.399 You know, things that are in our controllables is what 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.240 we call that presnat penalties. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:28.240 We can control that. 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.240 So if you make the mistake in practice, we're going 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.760 to self correct ourselves with a little disciplinary action. 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.240 My apologies for the balancing of the audio. That's as 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.840 loud as I can get Austin's audio there. So the rain, 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.840 the helicopter over the top was was making things challenging there. 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:44.600 But I wanted to lead the segment of the show 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.600 with that because we saw the team run gass in 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.960 that practice. I think I counted three false starts in 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.760 the day. It's not the cleanest of operation from the 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.199 offensive line and the offense in terms of getting off 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.280 the snap properly, but these are, you know, day one 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.919 things But the bigger note to me here is the 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.679 level of accountability being put forward. And we've heard, you know, 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.840 all off season about the accountability of you know, being 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.440 where you're supposed to be, being on time and things 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.760 like this, and self policing and how you can you know, 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.399 earn a certain level of rope based upon how you 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:18.199 self polish yourself. And we're getting an example of it 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.440 already here in date number one. Things weren't as crisp 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.000 as they could have been. The offensive line, to Austin's point, 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.560 punishes itself by running the gassers. And then I'll make 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.000 it stick with you for you know, going forward. And 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.280 and I wanted to play this additional sound clip here 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.480 from Tua who was. 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:38.520 Fourth right about Tyreek at the end of last year. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.280 Right, And I'm I'm ready to kind of turn the 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.240 page on this, but I think because it was talked 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.720 about today, we can kind of harp on it one 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:49.960 more time about Tyreek's Week eighteen comments and actions which 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:51.679 are inexcusable in a football field. 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:52.840 And we've heard. 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.480 You know, McDaniel talk about Tyreek's commitment, We've heard players 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.960 talk about his commitment and showing what he's about the 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.199 last three months and he's gonna have to continue that 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:01.840 for the next six months, right, And I think that 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.600 when you talk about accountability and holding each other accountable, 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:10.080 Austin making that comment about the offensive line holding itself accountable, well, 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:14.679 the best way to have ultimate accountability reminds me of 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.480 stories you hear about Tom Brady, for instance, like the 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.280 great Ted Karras story he told the other day on 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.240 Julian Edelman's podcast about how Tom wants his center's backsides 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:26.119 to be dry. You better, you better, like, you know, 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.679 listen to Tom because it's Tom freaking Brady, and they're like, 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.480 we're just happy he's talking to us at any point 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.000 of practice. But to have your quarterback, the guy that 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:34.520 is the you know, best player on the team, the 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.520 leader of a team, all that stuff, to have him 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.520
