Some roster 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.640 news that came in on Tuesday afternoon. The Dolphins have 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.640 released receiver Ricardo Lewis. He of course with the team 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.600 in twenty nineteen on the injured reserve. He was cut 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.200 back in July, re signed in August, and now he's 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.200 been released again by the Miami Dolphins. Also, we have 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.800 waived cornerback Dietrich Nichols, safety Jeremiah Denson, and defensive and 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.400 Avery Moss. Each of those guys recently brought into the 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.120 building as well, Avery Moss on his second stint here 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.920 with the Miami Dolphins. So some roster changes coming before 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.440 cut down Day on Saturday. We're gonna have you guys 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.280 covered on cutdown Day with all the latest news and 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.560 notes about your Miami Dolphins. But asked for today's podcast, 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.880 let's go ahead and dive into the coaches media availability. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.600 We had nine assistants on this particular day, plenty of questions, 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.959 plenty of answers, plenty of stuff to divulge from the 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.679 Dolphins assistants. Let's go ahead and jump right in with 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.640 defensive line coach Mary and Hobby, who was asked to 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.319 evaluate the play of fifth round rookie out of North 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.360 Carolina Jason Strowbridge. Well, I think I think Strowbridge has 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.240 done a really good job and he's had a really 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.000 good camp. You know, he's a young player. He's done 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:56.880 better than the last time we talked. You know, he 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.880 keeps getting better and better every every day. I think 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.120 he's got a role on his team. You know, in 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.000 the long season, I think we're gonna need him, you know, 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.240 maybe the first week, second week. We all know when 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:10.639 his number is going to be called, but I think 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.280 we're differently gonna need him. You hear coach talking about 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.440 the depth of the defensive line. There's something you have 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.200 to have deep in spades at all possessions up front 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.120 because of the nature of the league, the rotation business 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.679 that it is nowadays, plus COVID contingencies, all the things 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.400 that go into that. Jason Strowbridge interesting guy because he 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.480 played both inside outside at North Carolina. We've heard Brian 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.160 Flores talk about that now getting some work across the 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.000 Dolphins defensive line up. Next, coach was asked about the 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.600 depth and rotation on the interior of the defensive line 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.360 with guys like Wilkins, God Show and ray Kwon Davis. Well, 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.840 you know, with all the double teams that those guys 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.280 again and all the pressure that get on the inside 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.160 of Ringing, you'd like to keep him as fresh as possible, 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.440 you know, and trying to keep a good rotation on 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.320 each one of them. Um, you know, just just different 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.679 packages that some people might play a little bit more 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.079 than others, but it is definitely a conscious ever and 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.720 to keep them, keep them fresh. And so last year 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.600 you have rookie Christian Wilkins playing seven hundred twenty nine 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.440 snaps on defense. That was six of the Dolphins defensive reps. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.919 Devon god Shall kind of in that same boat every 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.480 year of his career, seven hundred and seventeen snaps last 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.119 year of the Dolphins reps. And then once you got 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.160 beyond John Jenkins, who played four hundred and seventy nine snaps, 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.560 you were pretty short on bodies. With guys like Gerald 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.800 Willis or Robert Kim DJ came over for a couple 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.200 of snaps last year. We did pick up Zach Seiler 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.160 at the end of the season and he played well 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.120 down the stretch. You'll hear more about him here in 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.800 just one moment. But you talk about the overall depth 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.600 and rotation ability, the ability to keep these guys fresh, 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.280 whether it's playing guys series by series or having different 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.960 packages than guys play until they stay fresh. That way, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.520 you heard coach Hobby talking about the multiple options they 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.920 have to keep guys fresh. Up front. It's just a 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:52.760 deep group you have. You love the options you can 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.200 throw at the posing offense, whether you're in an even front, 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.400 odd front, four man front, three man front, whatever it 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.000 might be, You've got options. This year, and Coach Hobby, 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.200 in a separate question, would talk about how you can 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.320 confuse the opposing offense with multiple rush looks. They don't 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.320 know if four guys are coming, five guys are coming, 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.680 whatever the case may be, that multiplicity creates confusion for 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.200 the offense. We finished up here with Coach Hobby to 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.280 evaluate the play of rookie ray Kwon Davis. You got 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.400 massive correct. You know, he's a he's a big man 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:22.640 and uh he's a big athletic man, and he does 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.560 a great job. You know, he's he's very conscientious of 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.880 what of his play. You know, he wants to be coached. 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.800 You talk about a big, strong athlete that has the 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.960 athletic ability of ray Kwon Davis and the desire to 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.560 get better and to be coachable. That's a good combination 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.880 there for that rookie out of Alabama. And on the 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.480 topic of that length and size and ability to separate 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.920 from the offensive line, coach had similar things to say 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.600 about Zack Seeler his growth going in to next year 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.800 with the Dolphins. After a good finish to the twenty 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.320 nineteen season. Up next, we're gonna hear from coach Camp 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.440 and only the linebackers coach here of the Miami Dolphins, 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.080 and what I think was my favorite question and answer 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.120 from the day on Wednesday, asking which Campanelli about how 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.680 he maximizes his player's potential, kind of his approach to 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:09.039 the coaching profession and his philosophy overall as a football coach. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.880 Here's coach Campanelli on the giving players information so they 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.040 can process it and play faster. Really fascinating answer here 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.360 from coach Campanelli. I believe a coach's job is the 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.839 organized information so that the player can process it and 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:26.240 play faster. Um. I think that's our job. So organizing 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.000 the information so the guys are thinking a sound bites 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.160 not sentences, um, and they can play fast. You know, 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:37.680 I think good football players uh. And good football plays 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.599 are made with anticipation. UM. So where's you're trying to 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:45.520 take away all anxiety? Because you know anxiety obviously you're 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.320 in fear, unsure of what's going to happen in the future, 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.479 whether it be in the next few seconds or the 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:55.200 next few weeks. UM. Anticipation is you have a pretty 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.880 good idea. Hey, this is probably one or two or 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.839 three things, not one of intend things. Um. And I 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:06.120 think guys that have great anticipatory skills when they're playing. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.120 You can take a guy that and maybe he's a 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.880 four seven, but he looks like he's playing at a 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.160 four or four, and and vice a versa. You can 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.840 have a guy that is a four or four running 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.680 the wrong direction. So I think our job as coaches 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:24.320 h is to get that progression down because your your eyes, feet, 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.719 and hands. I think it usually goes to that progression 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.240 each play. My eyes are going to tell my fee 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:30.960 what to do in my hands by any time, you know, 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.799 and a lot of information is sent from the eyes 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.360 to the brain telling your feet what to do each play. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.400 So I think that's a big role in terms of 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.799 the schematics are job as coaches. And here's a question 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.960 we kind of have asked the different coaches on defense 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.280 a couple of times now because there are so many 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.680 players on this roster that can play in multiple positions 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.760 that you do wonder how do the coaches balance which 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.040 player goes into which room for which particular meeting. Here's 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.240 coach Campanelli on the Dolphins defensive staff and the collaborative 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.120 effort liately void of ego on that defensive staff you know. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.560 One of the great things about this organization, and UH 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.880 coach Boryder, Coach Flores, I had already may mention this 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.119 in the past. Everybody really gets an opportunity to coach 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.120 all the guys. The way practice is set up and UM, 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.200 there's no egos in our defensive room, so everybody really 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.160 it's a collaborative effort UM and that's really a lot 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.160 of fun. I think you get a great field for 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:30.480 all the guys on the unit um and and you 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.400 really you get to kind of spend time with players 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.720 all over this you know, from from all different UH 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.080 groupings on the field. So that's been awesome. It's a 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.080 it's a great I think philosophically, it's something I've really 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.640 enjoyed as well. And I've enjoyed getting the opportunity to 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.360 be around all these different guys every day. They're They're awesome. 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.240 It's a great group of guys. And up next, we 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.080 had a question for coach about the green dot communication 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.880 helmet the defense. Whereas one player on the field with 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.920 the communication headset. Here's coach talking about the value of 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.560 having so many guys that can communicate the defense and 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.760 a good quote here about how it's not just their job, 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.920 it's their passion. We're fortunate to have a bunch of 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.760 guys would love football. Um, it's not their profession, it's 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.000 not only their professions, their passion. So the more guys 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.720 you have like that who kind of understand in our 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.480 workings andy schematics, the front, the back end, how they're 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.280 working together, what the offense is trying to do. UM, 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.400 that gives you more or afford you more of an 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.960 opportunity to find players who can step into that role 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:36.080 on Sunday. And we've felt the guys throughout the course 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:37.920 of the spring summer have done a very good job 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.240 of that. Let's go ahead and stay on the linebackers 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.360 with coach Austin Clark, who coaches the outside linebackers, and 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.560 start with my question for coach Clark. Hey, coach, wanted 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.840 to ask you about Tyshan Render and how you've just 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.440 kind of noticed his progress so far through training camp. 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.640 He won some awards in college about best effort, best 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.880 hustle guy. Curious get your take on him and if 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.480 you've seen that same effort here in camp so far, 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.200 would say though those awards are accurate, Uh, he's a grinder. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.160 He's a tough guy. He plays really really hard, and 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.040 I would say it's probably his best attribute. Um and 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.079 uh yeah, yeah, I love the kid. I think he's 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.360 getting better each day. Got got a lot of work 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.000 to do, but I think he's on the right track. 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.080 Joe Shadow of the Palm Beach Post and I are 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.880 pretty good buddies, and we talk often about these questions 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.000 we asked these press conferences, and he told me today 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.520 that I was going to appreciate his questions because I'm 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.160 always wanted to go towards the football side and the 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.840 philosophical side and that type of thing. Joe had a 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.280 great series of questions today for all the coaches about 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.160 their philosophy and approach. Here's his question and answer for 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.640 Austin Clark, I would say the first thing and and 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.360 we're big on this here, and I personally believe technique 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.559 and fundamentals are the most important thing that goes into 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.400 any any front play, any defensive play, anything you do. 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.360 You know, and as a coach, identifying what we want 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.319 them to do and how we want them to do it, 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.520 and holding that standard each and every day so there 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.720 may be a time where they make a great play 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.200 doing it wrong. He said, Hey, that's that's a hell 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.240 of a play right there. Here's how you know we 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:10.679 want you to do it. And if you were going 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.000 against an all pro here, that might not work, you know. Um, 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.160 So I would say the biggest thing for me personally 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.560 is technique and fundamentals and as far as you know, 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:24.400 matchups and different things that you could use depending on 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.280 an opponent's scheme or what they're showing or what they're doing. 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.520 Um I think that goes into it as well. And 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:34.760 I think with you know, film and background I think 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.439 we have here with our head coach and defensive coordinator, 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.280 especially in the division, their background with opponents and even players, 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.480 you know, some of the players we have to have 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.360 backgrounds with a lot of these teams we're playing. Is big. 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.439 And now we move into the defensive secondary with coach 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:53.000 Alexander who always gives wealth thought out, eloquent answers here 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.520 on these press conferences. Up first, he was asked to 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.400 evaluate the playoff rookies Noah egg Monogamy and Brandon Jones 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.319 out of texts us the safety and of course the 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.240 cornerback from Auburn first and third round draft picks of 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.720 the Miami Dolphins, of course, Noah. You know, you started 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.400 to see it with the course of camp him get 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.000 more and more comfortable in his role as a perimeter corner. 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.920 Um out there competing. You know, you see kind of 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.240 the competitiveness Studies has as a player, things that we 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.360 thought that we saw as a college player. Um. He's 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.400 still uh, pretty fresh to the position. You know, he 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.920 hasn't been playing corner for that long and his in 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.959 his career obviously being new to this level. Um, but 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.160 you start to see a guy who is developing technically 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.320 out there on the perimeter, and you know, look forward 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.199 to kind of getting a chance to see what he 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.600 can do throughout the course of this season. As far 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.199 as Brandon, um, you know, I would feel you know, 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.240 just like you know anybody in this in this building, 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:48.920 and we just haven't had a chance to see it 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.360 live yet. You know. Unfortunately, we haven't had the opportunity 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.439 to see these guys playing games as young guys with 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.880 the lack of the preseason. Based on what we have 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.840 seen so far in practice, I mean, it's gonna be uh, 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.280 you know, an opportunity for him to go out there 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.280 and play in a real game that I would feel 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.760 comfortable with UM and then get a chance to just 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.440 learn from there. He's gonna be a guy that has 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.600 to learn from experience out there on the field, whatever 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.600 that role is, big or small, And I'm looking forward 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.000 to seeing what both those kids can do in the 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.040 real game. And with the first time we got a 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.079 chance to talk to g A after Xaviing Howard returned 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.199 to the Dolphins practice field. Here he is talking about 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.200 Exaviing Howard putting in the time mentally, getting the mental 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.760 reps in place of the physical while he was down. 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.959 I think x has handled himself as a professional UM, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.679 you know, in the midst of obviously is uh coming 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.000 back and being on the field with those guys. You know, 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.679 one of the things that he's done, UM is to 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.959 make sure that throughout the meetings and out there on 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.280 the field, if he's not taking the physical rep um, 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.640 he's taking the mental rap. He understanding the communication that's 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.400 going on with those guys out there on the field. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.920 So when he does insert himself into that role in 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.640 the field, there's some familiarity, you know, even though he 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.760 has taken the physical rep um you as much as 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.439 some of the other guys giving his uh, given a situation, 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.160 I'm not too concerned about it. You know, I think 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.359 that he understands the terminology and he understands the responsibility 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:13.280 that comes with certain calls and in certain communication. Um. 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.720 But it's just about getting getting that on the field 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.680 experience and um, you know, practice, practicing it and obviously 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.480 once we get in the game time being able to 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.079 execute the things that we need to execute and the 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.320 field and now we'll here coach kind of talk about 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.480 the nickel position, the slot cornerback position and the value 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.480 it has in today's NFL defense handling all the spread 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.199 attack offenses in the NFL, and that that position is 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.199 so valued. Now you know that that that nickel role, 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.040 you know, with the with amount of you know, spread 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.840 personnel formations that you see offensively, and you know, you've 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.080 got to have a guy in there that can cover 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.959 in space, that can tackle in the run game, UM, 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.560 that can you know, maybe at perimitive pressure off the edge. 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.760 I mean, those those guys are invaluable to today's league. 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.720 But as far as you mall and guys like Tay 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.120 Hayes and knowing getting some of those reps, I mean 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.960 through the practice and through training, camp and those guys 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.520 show flashes of making some some splash plays and um 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.000 having tight coverage on the slot. And those guys have 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.000 done a good job. And so I'm based on what 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.800 we've seen so far, UM going into the season. You know, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.640 my my comfort level is you know, is is high 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.280 on them, um them getting into the game. But you know, 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.200 obviously there's gotta be some some improvement as we continue 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.440 to develop in the secondary, and especially in that position 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.080 because of sex value position. And here is the shad 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.280 question for g A about how to get players to 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.080 go from good to great, the approach that he takes 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.800 his philosophy of coaching defensive backs good from great. I 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.160 think it's really about routine and then understanding. You know 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.840 what I always tell those guys, Understanding leads to control. 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.760 And when you get a chance to understand your responsibility, 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.120 not just yours as a player, but the entire big 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.440 picture of what we're trying to get done as a secondary, 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.560 what we're trying to get done as a defense. Even 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.960 though you're one of an eleven piece puzzle, if you 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:06.080 understand and understand what your responsibility is and how you're 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.560 going to be attacked, UM, that can give you an 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.760 opportunity to do great things. And you know that's control 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.800 in the field. And then you know, personally, you know, 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.720 what do you do to prepare yourself throughout the year, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.880 throughout the week, throughout the day to make sure that you're, um, 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.640 you're gonna be able to perform at your highest level 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.560 on any given day. And so it's you know, it's tough. 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.080 You know, it's just like any any anybody else in 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.520 any business who is dedicated to their craft. Um, it 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.480 takes more than being ordinary. And you know, it takes 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.880 doing destroying everythings all the time. And that's what I 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.880 would say from a player. You know, that's that's why 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.800 there's a few great players in this league. Were something 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.000 about those guys, you know, not just the physical part 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.960 has made them stand out in their career and and 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.200 showing that their body of work. When it all said 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.640 and downe we jumped out to the offensive side of 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.960 the ball with running backs coach Eric Studisville, who first 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.440 talked about the newest Dolphins running back Solve the Akhmed 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.440 out of Washington, Well in the draft, you know, I 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.040 thought that he had a nice he did a nice 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.160 job after Washington. Um, I think It was a lot 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.760 very similar to what Minos did when he was up 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.040 in Washington. Ran the ball good. He uses speed on 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.400 in space. Um made a lot of plays up there. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.440 He's just he's an exciting young player and broken record 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.560 time on the whole Washington State University versus the University 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.440 Washington watching as much solve on Akhmed as I did 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.840 in college. This as a guy that, like coach mentioned, 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:29.800 can use that speed out in space. He was so 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.200 heavily involved in the passing game, catching swings and screens 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.080 and flats and flares, all those routes down around the 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:37.880 line of scrimmage. He can make guys miss in the 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.960 open field. He definitely popped when you watch Washington on 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.440 tape last year. Now we go forward to a question. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.480 I really appreciated the answer from coach on with regards 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.200 to players carving out their role on the offense and 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:53.360 having backs that don't necessarily get pigeonholed into one particular trait, 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.760 one particular skill set, and how they want to expose 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:57.680 these guys too as much as they can and allow 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.160 the players to carve the rollout for themselves rather than 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.280 being told by the coaches Initially, what you can and 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.720 can't do well. I think they carve out the roles. 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.480 You know, they're they're going to determine what they can 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.200 and can't do. I think the thing that I try 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:14.680 to do with them is to expose them and show 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.159 what they can do in all the different runs, you 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.560 know what I mean. Don't just isolate one guy to say, hey, 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.959 he just all runs all the toss plays or all 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:24.879 the outside plays with this and that they all have 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.640 to be able to do it. And you expose them 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.480 to the whole variety of our whole menu of plays, 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.879 and then you they kind of determine, hey, I'm a 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:35.960 little bit better at this one than the other ones, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.320 or this is what their strengths look like. And I 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.760 think that's how we kind of develop and create those roles. 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.800 But I think the main thing is that you can't 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.600 It's easy to fall into a trap of just making 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:49.959 them do one thing and saying, hey, he's good at 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:54.359 this when they because you're you're a broken shoelace or 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.879 a chine trap away from a guy that you've now 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.440 pigeonholding and being able to do one thing to really 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.320 handcuffing your offense to what you need to do. So, 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.159 I tried exposal to everything. We're gonna emphasize what they 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.040 do best. But at the end of the day, if 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.480 we're calling something and it's working and and those kind 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:13.600 of things, and they all gotta be able to do 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.400 it up. Next we hear from coach or quarterback coach 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.200 rather excuse me, Robbie Brown, who discussed his relationship with 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.600 Ryan Fitzpatrick, how he's known him for a few years 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.360 now and if he's noticed anything different about the quarterback 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.560 heading into with the Miami Dolphins and in year sixteen 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.480 in his NFL career. Well, I don't think different. He's 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.720 he's not changed as a person um in any way, 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.359 shape or form. He he loves to play the game, 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:45.840 he likes the mental aspect of the game. But you know, 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.000 I haven't noticed anything different. But we haven't been back together, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.920 but you know, really for a month here, But really 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.920 and truthfully he sees it seems the exact same to me. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.840 He just he loves to play, loves the game, loves 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.800 the mental part of the game, loves to compete. And 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.840 now a perfect segue into a question about the quality 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.159 of a backup quarterback or the value of the backup 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.200 quarterback and which qualities they provide they give you the 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.440 best option to win when that quarterback comes off the 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.600 bench and into the game. And speaking of Ryan Fitzpatrick, 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.199 a guy that has a bunch of experience coming off 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.639 the bench, even just this last season, for instance, in 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.159 that Washington game and kind of sparking the offense. And 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.119 it goes back to a quote I remember hearing about 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.399 my guy, Gardner Minshew go Coog's back at the Senior 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.520 Bowl when they had I think it was Jim Naggy 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:32.960 on the Move the Sticks podcast, and he talked about 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.840 how Minshew got in that locker room and had everybody 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.240 galvanized around him. And that's the type of mentality, the 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.320 type of character you want in that backup quarterback position, 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:44.639
