WEBVTT - Drive Time: Film Review, Scheme Thoughts and Soundbites 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.520 Two on the Move, Glan Deep Speegless Peas. 0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:08.720 Do Hells from the Baptist Health Studio. This inside the 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:14.720 Baptist Health Training Complex. This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.440 He's good, My Havens in the playoffs. 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:28.160 What is up Dolphins? And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.080 I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.600 no practice, So we're gonna go back over the game 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.120 film and cover some things we've missed. I want to 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.120 really hone in on some detail, including the way coach 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.239 Weaver has drawn up some really fun stuff in two 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:44.040 preseason games of action, as well as the offense and 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.120 the motion the pre snap shifting. Plus I watched a 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.000 decent amount of football from this weekend. Some thoughts from 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.159 around the league, and we'll hear from coach Kaleis Campbell, 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.920 Jordan Poyer, Austin Jackson, and Durham Smyth from the Baptist 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.120 Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This it 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:05.280 is the Drive Time Podcast. We kick off the pod 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.080 with some updates in terms of news and injuries, well 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.400 really just the injuries that are the news. But we 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.200 heard that River Craycraft will miss some time into the 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.920 regular season, not a season ending injury, but he did 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.840 endure an upper body injury as you guys saw him 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.120 leave the game on Saturday night. He will not be 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.840 back anytime soon, at least in the coming weeks. It 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.240 sounds like he'll be out for a while. Braylen Sanders 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.040 is week to week with a lower body injury per coach, 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.800 and Chris Brooks dodged the long term injury in terms of, 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.039 you know, ligament or something that was more serious, but 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.920 obviously concussion protocols where he lands. Not that that's any less serious, 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.200 but you can return from that quicker than you can 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.000 a broken bone or a ligament tear or something like that. 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.640 So I guess in that regards some good news there 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.560 for Chris Brooks. Cam Smith will miss some time as well. 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.920 No timeline there. Coach praised the way he maximized his 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.920 opportunity he got in last week, plus hopefully that com 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.320 friends can kind of carry him through. Coach did say 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.720 it was a different spot for the injury with the 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.160 rap that we saw after the game being on the hamstring, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.360 but a different portion of the hamstring. It sounds like 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.960 for cam Smith. Jordan Poyer is out of his cast 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.480 that he was once in he told us that he 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.919 fractured the bottom part of his thumb on the fifth 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.399 or sixth day of practice and said he is good 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:23.480 to go. And Odell Beckham Junior's presence, or I guess 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.400 lack thereof, has been this kind of mysterious thing. And 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.359 I think that Coach's answer here with regards to when 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.359 they should expect to see him is telling about the timeline, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.680 or rather how they view his importance to the team 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.760 as not being right away, but maybe down the stretch. 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.919 I've said too much already. Let's go ahead and just 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.079 let coach tell you what he sees it. As far 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.840 as Odell Beckham's status. 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.080 One thing I've note that I've learned about Odell is 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.119 he is putting his best foot forward. I've been he's 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.639 had some guys on this team that he has been 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.440 teammates with on previous teams, whether in college or in 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:05.160 the pros, and the way he's committed, they've they've really 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:10.359 reassured me on how this is the best version of 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:15.960 a rehab and meeting meeting room version of Odell, like 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.239 he's really going after it. But I promise you he 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:23.080 didn't he didn't sign up for that, so I know 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.680 there will be progression. There will be progression. There's been 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.760 progression every week, but you know, I just I just 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.960 know what he signed up for. What what we signed 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:39.840 up with him is for a development within within the 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.720 offense during the course of the season to be at 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.480 our best and have be at our best, and our 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:52.480 best is required. So I'm I'm not rushing the process. 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.960 I'm not worried about it because I know the intent 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:00.400 is right on both sides, and the intention is to 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:06.640 not have something holding him back once he gets on 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:07.120 the field. 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.040 All right, I want to go over some additional notes 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.320 that did not cover in the Sunday Am or if 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.800 you were still awake on Saturday night late night podcast 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.000 recap show. So, for instance, I am not going to 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.320 break down the Tua to crey Craft touchdown because we 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.159 already did that in depth on the previous show. So 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.520 if you don't hear something obvious and you didn't hear 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.800 the recap show, I can't imagine how many fans skip 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.680 in the game recap and coming to this one. But 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.760 if you did do that, just know you can find 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.400 it on the previous podcast. So as I'll do on 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.800 Tuesdays throughout the course of the season. I will watch 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.680 the tape, I will send tweets, I will talk about 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.599 it on the podcast, and you'll get more analysis here 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.840 on the podcast than you will on Twitter. Just an 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.600 FYI for everybody out there. I see lots of comments 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.159 about what I will and won't say. Come to the podcast. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:55.440 You'll get the most in depth, comprehensive, honest opinions on 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.520 this team on this podcast as you will anywhere else. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.240 I'll give Kyle his foule out flowers. He's very good 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.800 at this too, but you know og right here, let's 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.479 do it. Speaking of the offense here, I always like 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.640 to watch the broadcast and the tape, and that's what 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.200 we have here. Yes, even for a preseason game. I 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.880 will be the psychopath that does that. Like Kyle likes 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.480 to do full on film grades, which I commend him 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.800 for that, I'm not going to do that for the preseason. 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.440 And the reason that I watch both of these broadcast 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.120 and tape copies is that maybe some of you fans 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.400 are out of town and saw the game on the 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.559 Commander's broadcast crew and didn't get it here. The sweet 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.720 musings of Kim Bokamper in the booth, and I wanted 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.359 to share what Goldie Steve Goldstein said on the broadcast, 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:40.160 mentioning that they asked to and Tyreek in their pre 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.080 production meeting which player has kind of caught their eye 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.680 the most is maybe a bit of a surprising up 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.680 and comer, and they said, without hesitation, Malik Washington from 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.840 both of those guys, and you might as well put 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.479 it in here. I think that Malik has been the 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.599 best return man all camp in preseason. I love what 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.520 he's on as a blocker in the running game, and 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.080 that showed up in the game on Saturday as well well. 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.800 And think that you know, as as we've seen for 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.679 two years in a row, I think that'll get you reps, 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.280 particularly in the red zone where they love to give 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.800 Hill and Wattle their blow after they give us a 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.719 thirty five yard catch and run that puts us at 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.800 the eighteen yard line. And man if I don't have 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:17.839 those two on the field, and I still want a 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.520 two receiver package down at you know, first and ten 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.920 from the plus seventeen yard line in the high red zone, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.440 that will allow me to get two quality blockers on 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.080 the edge and be where they're supposed to be and 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.560 be sure handed. I think those two receivers are River 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.240 Craycraft and Molik Washington. Now when does Craycraft become available? 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.560 We'll find out more about that. I think it certainly 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.120 shakes up how this receiving group is going to be, 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.880 how it's going to look going into week one, And 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.160 I will do a roster prediction for you guys next 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.479 week on the show. But that shook it up for me. 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.640 I mean, it's obviously Reek, Wattle and OBJ if OBJ 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.520 doesn't go into the year on PUP. I think Craig 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.880 Craft was comfortably the next guy. I think that Malik 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.520 Washington was one of the comfortable on the rough guys, 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.280 and I said for a long time now that I 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.240 think that his emergence kind of makes Brax and Burrios 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:09.360 relatively redundant on the roster. And the flashes we saw 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.280 from Eric Azukama has really changed my perception of the 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.640 receiver's room. We'll talk more about that today and later on. 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:21.400 I do think that we have two running backs that 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.200 are better suited as I changed topics here totally for 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.920 power and downhill runs to kind of go off the 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.520 idea of running the ball in the red zone because 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.240 we failed to get push on those short yardge runs right, 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.840 and I think that we have two running backs that 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.200 weren't dressed. They're better suited for that role, and we 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.240 didn't block it well. I don't think we ran it 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.960 well either, And that's not a knock on Raheem Moster's physicality. 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.800 I think he's one of the most physical backs in 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.120 the entire league, but he's just more of a get 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.960 on your track and get ahead of steam guy, whereas 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.480 I think hefe Jeff Wilson and then definitely Jalen Wright, 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.480 who I think has a big future here with this team, 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:00.240 are both a little bit better at finding creases quickly 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.239 and then finding that yard and where they can burrow 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.240 in for that, you know, the one yard that you 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.840 need on third and one or fourth and one, especially 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.720 in a poorly blocked play, which we got a few 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.520 of those in the game on Saturday night. More on 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.480 that in a minute. I wanted to also mention the 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.640 different motions that you see out there, and I actually 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.360 had a chance to talk to Klays Campbell about this 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.120 behind the scenes, about how tough this is and we're 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.800 gonna run some audio from him that he talked about 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.520 in a public setting, but he gave me a bit 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.400 further to break down privately about how much this offense 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.400 messes with your eyes, even these slight little shifts and emotions, like, 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.880 for instance, the second snap of the game, John new 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.280 Smith goes in motion at the snap and he's behind 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.800 the left tackle or where he's behind the left tackle 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.800 and allows him to hide from the the Will linebacker 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.080 and he gets him outflanked at the snap and it 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.800 turns into a layup for Tua on that little speed 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.880 out that he threw him because he kind of ducks 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.280 him behind Kendall Lamb and the Will linebacker doesn't react 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.559 to him there because he's not cleared the lion of scrimmage, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.160 and I think the earlier snap kind of made him think, like, 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.240 I've got time to get out there. No, you don't, 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.640 because the snap is coming right now, and it creates 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.400 this layup throw for Tua, which we know he doesn't 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.880 miss those. So you're building in five and six yard plays, 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.560 which whether it's first and ten to get you the 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.680 drive started, or if it's second and ten to put 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.920 you into third and manageable sort of valuable, valuable reps 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.880 that you have to hit, and the Dolphins typically do 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.240 and they can find ways to create those to put 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.520 themselves in advantageous situations. On the very next snap of 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.360 the game, another very subtle motion that had a big 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:32.240 impact where Julian Hill's in his balanced why alignment? What 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:33.960 does that mean? Why? Tight ends are guys that are 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.560 attached next to the tackle. When you're balanced, they're on 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.000 either side of the formation. When they're unbalanced, they're on 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.880 the same side of the formation. Got it. So Julian 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:43.920 Hill is off the left tackle as the why and 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:45.920 he runs this short motion where it's like a chop 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.079 step in that once again puts him in behind the tackle. 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.960 And what does it do but create a better leverage 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.160 for him off the force defender and Julian gets out 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.400 there and completely erases him out of the play. It's 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.959 so much to deal with as far as a defensive 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.000 respective because it changes your rules in a short amount 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:04.960 of time and you have to react on the fly. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.600 It's why these not good defenders that we see, you know, 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.160 these these bad defenses that have young defenders who have 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.679 bad eyes and bad discipline and bad reaction skills. That's 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.760 why they get forty hung on them because it is 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.760 too much for those guys to deal with. Just a 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.880 few plays after that, John u Smith gets the carrier. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.920 I guess a pop pass, so it's a reception, but 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.720 John who goes in motion before the snap, goes off. 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.640 But they also bring Durham Smyth right behind him at 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.600 the snap, so it looks like double split flow, which 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.760 is actually kind of it's a counter tray look where 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.720 you pull a couple of guys from the backside. But 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:42.280 Durham's block doesn't do anything because he's behind the play. 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.200 He can't lead block for John new Smith when he's 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.200 behind him, so it creates this illusion of we want 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.160 to maybe throw the ball in the flat, but there's 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:51.920 also other guys to throw too, so I have to, 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.320 you know, be responsible for my coverage area because Tua 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.280 still has the ball. At least that's what these defenders 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.439 are thinking as Durham Smyth flows into this pass protection position, 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.320 which doesn't do anything because you don't have to pass 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:06.880 protect for Tuoa because he didn't have the ball anymore. 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.880 The ball's already outside that outside contained defender. It just 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.240 gets more eyes caught inside and this illusion of a 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.080 play action bootleg where he would need the blindside protector 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.560 was valuable on that play because it caused hesitation with 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.360 every single eyeball being stuck on the conflict of the 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.360 mesh point between the quarterback and the running back and 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.760 the ball's already out the backside gate. Like that's that's 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.040 tough to deal with. And you would see it sequenced 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.840 later on, and we saw action deviation on the Julian 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.000 catch as well, where they bring Durham across the formation 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.640 to sell that exact same split flow on play action, 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.520 and Julian this time sells that blindside protector route then 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.120 releases into the route. Gosh, Julian looks like a baller. 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:47.920 I've been tweeting about it. I'm gonna talk about it 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.160 a lot. Here he is to me, it's a there's 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:52.840 a clear tight end one and two in this team, 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.320 and it is john Us Smith and Julian Hill. And 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.600 this kind of continued throughout the course of the night. 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.440 Not gonna go over each motion, but it has me 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.600 so excited to see what we can get come the 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.880 regular season, especially with this tight end room that has 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.960 three guys that I think really understand these fine details, 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.360 these fine you know what one step inside can do 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.160 from a leverage standpoint and an angle standpoint, and you 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.360 know two of them are basically running backs and tight 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.840 end bodies, which I think is massive for how this 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.440 offense creates space and can give you checkdowns to guys 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.840 that can actually make haste with it after the catch 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.160 and not just get what's there. You know, this offense 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.520 is all about playmakers that you know, we will get 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:33.959 you to a certain point, but we want you to 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.800 go make the play affter that and give us more yards. 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:37.800 I think they finally have that the tight end position, 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.640 where in the past they haven't had that. And the 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.520 third guy, to me, Durham Smyth is probably the best 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.200 in terms of all those details and the position flexibility. 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.160 It's the deepest, best group of tight ends McDaniel has 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.080 had since they got here. I think it allows the 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.679 offense to evolve. And yet another way, I think it 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.520 tracks with the famous quote that I use all the 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.720 time here on the podcast, going back to the Christmas 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.800 game against the Cowboys last year, when Great Goalson said, coach, 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.120 love your offense, but where's the tight end? It's coming 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.320 next year? Greg You're damn right it is. And we 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.280 had the question that Kyle had asked coach back in 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.319 training camp earlier when he was asked about the versatility 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.079 and kind of the melting pot of skill sets in 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.600 this tight end group, and Coach said, you can track 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.679 your offensive versatility back to the tight end position. Like 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:20.760 I think when you this is going to be a 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.360 theme today and every podcast really going forward. I think 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.120 if you go back and look at how they attacked 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.559 the offseason, they told you what they thought the issues were, 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.160 and it wasn't on the interior offensive line. And we'll 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.560 get to this about how they can negate that, but 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.280 the tight ends and how much more flexibility and how 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.640 their positions and their ability to hurt you with the 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.320 football on their hands, their ability to be lead blockers 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.520 and go across the formation and the split flow and 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.719 you know, be vertical threats and be hookup threats. All 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.240 these things these tight ends can now do makes the 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.840 stress of your offensive line and an offense that game 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.080 plans their way around pass rushers. It makes it even 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:57.880 more like itself. It exemplifies what this offense wants to be. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.960 Let's run two soundbites here, first from Durham Smith on 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.040 how Julian Hill has gotten better. 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.959 I think at all facets. He's a guy that I 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.800 think I said a couple of weeks ago, it really 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.240 sticks out how much this means to him and how 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:16.240 this is priority one, far and away for him. Then 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.000 he came in with you know, talents, his strong, kid, fast, whatever, 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.200 physical but he's gotten so much better at really everything 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:27.920 along this last year, whether it's you know, catching the football, 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.640 timing in terms of the run game, things that kind 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.800 of come with experience, and he got a good amount 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.600 of that last year. And he's he's really improved in 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.680 all facets, like I said, and I'm really excited to see, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.840 you know, what his ceiling is because I don't think 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:42.520 we've seen it yet. 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.280 And then Kalais Campbell gave us the defenses perspective on 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.320 all the motions and how tough it is to get 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.120 ready to face this Dolphins offense. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.320 Yeah, it's one of the toughest things you can do 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.320 because you know, you usually want to look for pre 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.080 step information, especially a guy like myself who has the 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.440 experience to take advantage of information you know like this. 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.400 You know, they don't really allow you to do that 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.040 because they're doing so many things that you kind of 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.480 kind of got to just, you know, just play your 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.440 technique and you know, just reach your key and just 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.640 kind of go forward. You know, you really can't see 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.800 and get advantages that way, so kind of limits you 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:15.400 to going back and just playing like kind of just 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.800 regular day one ball. And for someone like me, that 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.560 hurts because it's, like, yo, that's the best part my 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.120 game has been able to see things before happens. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.080 Let's get more into the individual players here and talk 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.040 about the quarterbacks to jump to kickstart things here, jump 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.440 start whatever you want to say. So the footwork on 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:33.000 the flat the two A had to Julian Hill and 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.320 there was one drive, so you guys probably know what 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.520 I'm talking about. Where he's able to kind of sense 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.120 that closing rusher and put himself in position to both 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.200 protect himself to make the throw and to do it quickly. 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.720 It just looked different to me than what we've seen 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.960 from him rolling right in the past. And you know, 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:49.560 maybe not to me because I've seen it every day 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.600 in practice and I tweet about it, and you know, 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.560 I get the occasional credibility tweet back to me, but 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.960 I love what my track record does in terms of 0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:59.720 calling these things out in camp and then you guys 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.160 get you to see it in the preseason. Another example 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:03.960 of that, I mention it just about every day on 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.080 the show that he's making those types of plays on 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:10.280 the rig. It's different. It's faster, it's quicker, it's more athletic. 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.080 It's just everything is a beat faster for the fastest 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.360 beating quarterback in the NFL. And like that's that in 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.800 and of itself, is a massive evolution in this offense. 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.040 And this is sort of a dead horse. But the 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.320 ball handling, man, if you ever got to practice, which 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.000 is now going to be a next training camp because 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:31.080 it's over, just watch how much they drill ball handling 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.080 for the quarterbacks and individuals. And if you ever wonder 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.480 why it's so important, I believe it was John Gruden, 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.920 Eat your heart out, John Gruden, who has a whole 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.280 quarterback school series on YouTube, or maybe it was even 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:43.360 one of his shows that he did for ESPN where 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.520 he talks about this, and you can see the way 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.400 the entire defense follows the fakes that he carries out. 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.360 All five of the snaps were to a register to 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.920 pass the defensive line was negated on all of them 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.200 and never had a chance do in large part to 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.160 those motions, to the keys being throwing your eyes off, 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.120 to what Max Crosby said to coach McDaniel last year, saying, 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.000 you're the toughest offense I had to prepare for my 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.959 entire life. If pass rushers are telling you this like weird, 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.679 isn't it. It's almost like that's how the offense is 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.919 designed and why you don't spend a significant portion of 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.040 your cap space on positions on the inside that get 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.560 negated on like seventy five percent of your pass reps. 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.240 I'm just saying. I'm just saying, let's go ahead and 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.160 hear from a guy that has seen this offense from 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.520 the other side and now is here in training camp 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.359 watching it from the same side, Jordan Poyer, what do 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:32.520 you think about this offense? 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.520 I'd say like this, I'm glad I'm on this side 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:41.560 because game planning against that offense is already hard seeing 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.040 a few new wrinkles, few things that they've done in 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:50.040 from OTA's in training camp obviously, with the players that 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.359 they have. I'm glad I'm on the side and I 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.240 got a game plan from no more so. It's a 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.960 fun offense to watch. It's a really tough offense to 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:03.240 go against. But their speed and their timing, the way 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.600 they work, they're making us better and we're trying to 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:06.679 do the same and make them better. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.440 Now, I must concede this because I'm not going to 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.080 just sit here and tell you, guys, the offensive line 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:12.800 are great and it's going to be fine. I do 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:14.879 think it's going to be fine because that's how it's built. 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.359 It's designed this way. It's not a gimmick or a 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.520 faction of the offense. It's the pillar of the offense 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.040 and how it's how they philosophically believe this thing runs. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:29.000 But I must concede that, Yeah, that makeup gives you 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.320 deficiencies in a certain area. And where I think that 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:35.360 gives you a deficiency is in the short yardage game. 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.640 I'm not sure there's a solve there. You know. Again, 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:39.680 I think there's better running backs for those and Jalen 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:41.960 Wright and Jeff Wilson, maybe even alec Ingold. I like 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:43.239 it out of the pistol better than like it out 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.320 of under center. And then also in your true drop 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.480 back game, if it's third and long, which in twenty 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:49.159 twenty two they were the best third long offense in 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.720 the NFL. So you know, eat your heart out once again. 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.560 But I do think that that aspect of it is 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.440 fixable by the passing options that we added and having 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.680 reak and waddle at full go and spread the ball 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:01.920 around those guys. I think that's where the big change 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.399 can occur. Let's go ahead and bookmark this. Take a 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.680 break right there, come back on the other side, finch 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.639 up the quarterbacks. I have some thoughts on the other quarterbacks, 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.600 and we'll do the entire team here in the film, 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.200 and some other thoughts around the NFL, with some more soundbites. 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.040 All of that. Next Drift Time Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.760 brought to you by it Aunt Nation. Picking it back 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.000 up here segment two on this Monday edition of the 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.240 Draft Time Podcast. No practice to day or back on 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.199 the grass tomorrow, and then in Tampa on Wednesday, and 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.320 then the game on Friday, and then we're pretty much 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.720 getting down to cut down day. We're gonna have some 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.320 new scheduling. Here's the routine gets broken late in the 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.600 training camp on the podcast, but I'll keep you guys 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.400 up to date on that as we get there, Let's 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:41.840 go ahead and pick it back up here with some 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:43.400 more of these thoughts about this tape and what we've 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:46.280 learned from this team throughout training camp and in these games. 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.280 And I want to talk about Skylar Thompson here in 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:50.720 just one second, but just to kind of put a 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:54.159 bow on that previous point, like I'm hearing Kalays Campbell 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.880 tell me about how tough it is to deal with 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.360 the interior of the Dolphins offense because he can't get 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:01.520 his keys and has to strip it down to being 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:03.760 a day one college player where he has no knowledge 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:07.200 of anything football, just like technique, key go, and that's 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:08.840 all you can do because if you don't do that, 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.639 you're gonna get picked off in this offense. About Jordan 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.840 Poyer and how tough it is to game plan for 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:15.880 this offense, I don't hear anybody, and I'm not gonna 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.240 say that's in a press conference, but there's not a 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:20.080 lot of well, our guard play is not good enough. 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:24.480 I'm just telling you it's designed that way. It's gonna 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.440 be fine. You're gonna find out. That's that's my whole spiel. 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:28.959 Let's get off of it. I feel like I've been 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:32.400 beating this dead horse for weeks now, but it is prevalent, 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:34.360 and maybe arguing to you guys is the wrong way 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.080 to do it because the fans on this podcast, I 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.520 don't think of the ones largely coming after me on 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.359 social when I have these tweets. But maybe I'm having 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.359 my argument in the wrong place here. I'm just not 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.720 gonna do it on social because you know what's the point. 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:51.240 Let's go ahead and talk about scholar Thompson. Ah Gee, Rick, 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:53.439 first snap and they get wide open shot play with 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:56.520 a max Pro and the quarterback has five plus seconds. 0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.320 Weird how that happens Right now, I'm just kidding, not 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.560 gonna keep doing that. And look, I was encouraged and 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.760 this is why I say that Tua I You know, 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.000 I speak so highly of Tua and this offense, and 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:10.360 that's because it's designed in a way that he maximizes 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:12.359 and you see that drop off the other quarterbacks when 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.720 they get out there. Because I was encouraged this training 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.480 camp by what Skuylaer did in a few practices. But 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:19.800 I think I got to get off this train. Like 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.440 I'm pulling the rip cord. I don't think it'll ever 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.800 happen at the current rate of development. The first play 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.960 deep shot that was just an embodiment of everything that's 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:33.280 wrong here. Malik Washington's all alone on a crosser on 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.639 a two man route with max pro where he's the 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.919 conflict defender is moving the wrong direction and he's going 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:40.840 to clear him and get wide open for like twenty 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:43.280 five and then some run after the catch, but also 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:46.040 the deep hook in behind that or the deep like 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.960 post I should say, was wide open too, and he 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.800 just horribly threw it in the wrong part of the field. 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:55.760 Like so the read, the accuracy, just these simple things 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:58.360 that aren't being executed in year three. And there's one 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:00.040 player that told me all I needed to see. It 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.159 was the first it was I think it was a 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:07.320 second quarter going south into the south end zone. So 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:11.080 it's it's a simple read where the rail is alec ingold. 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.400 I think it was Alec all alone up the sideline, 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.040 and both defenders to that side to the boundary the 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.959 short side of the field are inside the numbers, and 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:21.440 you have the glance and the rail, which the rail 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:23.760 is up the sideline a vertical route the sideline and 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.800 the glance is like down the numbers. A little hookup route, 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.160 like a little slant almost in the middle of the field, 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:33.119 and you just threw the hole shot twice. Both defenders 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:36.280 are inside those numbers. But instead of throwing to the 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:38.800 rail that's wide open with two guys kind of getting 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.080 conflicted in the middle part of the field, you throw 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:44.320 the glance that's both well covered and capped, and the 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.040 rail was the first read off of that. The second 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.439 hole shot to Durham didn't work because he stared that 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:53.159 thing down and the safety took his eyes. He followed 0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:55.640 Scholar's eyes over to the play and then didn't take 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:58.760 advantage of the displacement that created on the backside. As 0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:02.440 Malik Washington again was wide open on the backside, dig 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:04.960 between that and the pockets. He just bails on for 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:08.400 no reason. I just gotta say, man, ah. 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:12.080 Don do what you want. Pull the plumb. I'll kill 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:12.960 you little. 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:14.840 I think you should leave there. And then you know, 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:17.000 you see Mike White and he locates, you know, the 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.679 conflict defender and makes a decision off of that and plays, 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.840 you know, ahead of the rate of the play. It's 0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:25.199 just faster. It's more of what you see from a 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.119 successful NFL quarterback. And I'm not saying he's gonna be 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:30.359 that even in a pinch this year. But to me, 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.320 it is so clear which one is better than the other, 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.359 Like it's so obvious. And you know, I think coach 0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:38.600 will tell you here about how they're trying to cultivate, 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:40.919 you know, the best version of the backup quarterbacks they 0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:43.720 can get. So here's Coach McDaniel on his comfort level 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:46.000 to the backup quarterbacks after everything I just told you. 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:50.720 It's it's quite literally handling difficult situations and saying, hey, 0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:55.640 you have to go do this. Uh, I'm gonna call 0:23:55.720 --> 0:24:01.959 this play, probably against a non premier coverage and uh, 0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:05.160 let's see what you do. I'm gonna you're gonna play 0:24:05.200 --> 0:24:11.360 a quarter with uh, with a receiver playing running back? 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:16.400 How how do how do you respond? And so from 0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:20.399 from my advantage point, I I kind of I feel 0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:25.080 bad because all that information if I were whether I 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:27.879 was a fan or I was sitting in your guys' seats, 0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:32.040 you know, it would I'm not sure if it totally 0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:36.880 reflects the entire process and all the information. So the 0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:43.959 the I'm looking for nuances resolve the conviction after a 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:49.320 bad play happens. How the offenses coming to the line 0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:52.719 of scrimmage, how you're leading them all sorts of different 0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:56.040 things on top of what what I've already learned about them, 0:24:56.400 --> 0:24:59.200 you know, So how that's manifested in preseason games, I've 0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:03.120 tried to do the opposite of what I generally do, 0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:08.200 which has put players in advantageous situations, because I think 0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.560 that's collectively as the staff, we kind of looked at 0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:16.600 it like we need to try something different to separate 0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:21.040 these guys because their games are are are when they're comfortable, 0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:24.160 their games are are going the same direction we need. 0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:27.399 We need to figure this out, and we see tho 0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:31.000 as our responsibility. So, uh, I've put them in a 0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:35.200 tough a bunch of tough situations, and I will continue 0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:38.760 to do that this week and through the through the 0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:42.840 next preseason game, so we can have all the information possible, 0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:47.000 uh to who who best is suited to be the 0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:48.520 guy behind to. 0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:50.040 All right, go ahead and get to the rest of 0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:52.359 these positions. Here the running back room demon chan Man, 0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:54.520 That's that's all I wrote down. I mean, we are 0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:57.240 getting almost nothing, and then he takes it around the 0:25:57.320 --> 0:25:59.639 edge and just beats everyone to the edge for eight yards. 0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:01.439 Then we screen it to him and he maneuvers his 0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:03.639 way through traffic for another big gain. And then that 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:07.040 outside release as the one to the field, the furthest 0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:10.000 split out receiver and his ability to make that catch 0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:13.000 and run and accelerate through it. I'm telling you, guys, 0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:15.560 this guy has receiver skills. And you add that to 0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:18.200 an offense. Even if the ball doesn't go there, it's 0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:20.040 gonna tilt the field because oh there's a four to 0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:21.720 two guy that knows how to get a release and 0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:24.440 get vertical up the sideline. If we don't cover that, 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.320 you know, one of the best deep ball throwers in 0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:28.439 the game's gonna hit it. He's gonna find him. And 0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:30.280 I thought last year, you know, chemistry just needs a 0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:32.880 little bit of seasoning and some tweaking, and I think 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:34.480 they have that now based on what we've seen in 0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:37.360 practice and just Devaughn's overall comfort level in year two. 0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.560 You know, Tyreek had an amazing first year. This passing 0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:41.639 offense is awesome in the first year, but if you 0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:43.520 go to the ball location and the deep balls from 0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:45.679 year one to year two to Tyreek, they were different 0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:48.800 and much better in year two. Receivers and tight ends 0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:50.119 you know, I went on and on about John Who 0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:52.640 and Julian earlier. Those guys are so good and they're 0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:54.600 going to change this offense, I think. But it was 0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:57.600 once again Hayden Rouchie that had a two person deleting 0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:00.600 block on the long Cris Brooks run for fifteen on yours. 0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.359 That's just kind of what he does. And I just 0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:06.800 also want to reiterate in this position here that Aszukomma 0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.080 as a vertical threat, especially when he runs them from 0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.040 that slot alignment, and how that pairs with his ability 0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:15.160 to be a runner in the screen game, a blocker 0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:17.800 in the screen game, even a ball carrier on jet sweeps, 0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:19.359 and a guy that gets carries from the backfield on 0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:21.840 tosses like we saw last year, you know, and with 0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:24.000 the Craycraft news and you know, not that he was 0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:26.879 this guy, but to me, it really highlighted some of 0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:29.120 the issues I had last year. There was a rep 0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:32.040 where Braxton and Malik and Britlan Sanders were trips to 0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.320 the side of the the field side and no one 0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:36.359 did anything to get open. And then you had Malik 0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:38.280 run a slot take off on a third and two 0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:40.760 where there's just no separation and you're trying to, you know, 0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:42.960 make a very low percentage throw to stay on the field. 0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:44.720 You know, I love Malak, but you just that's not 0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:47.080 his game. And that's why I think you need Eric 0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:50.320 Azukama to become that dude at least while Odell Beckham 0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:52.600 Junior is trying to get back. I need one of 0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:54.800 those guys to be at their best for this offense 0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:56.639 to take that next step as far as having a 0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:00.119 secondary option beyond reecan Waddle at the receiving position. And 0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.720 even if I have John Who and Julian and Jalen 0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:05.399 Wright to expend a Chan's role, those are great and 0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:06.960 those are gonna make this offense better. But if I 0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:09.280 can get that other element, I really don't care about 0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.480 the the offensive line issues and the short yard issues 0:28:11.480 --> 0:28:14.280 and the true dropbacks because those are just ever gonna happen, 0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:17.440 like they will sometimes. But when you score forty two 0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:18.920 points in a game, you're not gonna be worried about 0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:21.119 the two drives that got killed by you know, an 0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:23.480 inability to convert a third and two or a you know, 0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:25.760 a third and twelve sack that happens. So that's the 0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:29.359 way I see it, And also just real quick on 0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:32.199 the receivers, Like is Willie sneed making business decisions out 0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:33.919 there that allows a missile to come free and hit 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:36.719 Eric Azokama on that wineback run. Like you see your 0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:39.440 teammates training to the max and to make a play 0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:41.560 and that's what you do. It reminds me of the 0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.320 Dan Campbell on Michael Agnew and hard Knocks go plot 0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:48.280 for him freaking Agnew on the offensive line. Before we 0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:50.840 get into that, Austin Jackson talked about his perspective on 0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:54.040 how the Dolphins have evolved this offseason to get better 0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:57.040 as an offense. What have you seen in terms of 0:28:57.320 --> 0:28:59.960 how you want to work on things to get better 0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:02.120 or the point of emphasis you wanted to get better 0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:04.280 at that offseason A one to two punch here from 0:29:04.280 --> 0:29:05.000 Austin Jackson. 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:08.800 I think the most encouraging thing is that we've been 0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:10.840 able to execute a lot of the things we wanted 0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:13.400 to get better at that we kind of stated in OTAs, 0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:16.760 and you know we address them in OTAs. Some of 0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:18.920 them carried over from last year, some mistakes wanted to 0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:21.880 get better at. I feel like coming into camp so 0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:25.000 far we've done a good job of excelling at the 0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:26.600 things we feel like we need to get better at 0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:27.640 as offense. 0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:29.640 Like like what would be at the top of that list. 0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:32.160 Do you think what a couple of things for offensive line? 0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:34.080 I would say some of those things is like our 0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:38.640 second level blocking, like blocking linebackers, being more consistent in 0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:41.080 our in our identifications because we have a lot of 0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:45.280 motions we're timing offense, we try to disrupt the defense. 0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:48.280 So with that, we need more knowledge of what's going 0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:50.640 on in the back end, you know, as offensive line, 0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:54.840 that's huge, and just some of our not some of 0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:59.720 our fits, but our fits on the defensive linemen after 0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:02.560 the way. So there's like a type of strain and 0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:04.720 a level of blocking in our offense where we have 0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:07.120 to be on angles to be identical with the running back. 0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:09.440 So we just got better at, you know, being on 0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:10.320 those angles longer. 0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:13.280 And the follow up was this question about this concept 0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:15.560 that alec Ingold told me last week about pushing the 0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:18.520 limits what this offense can do. Here is what Austin 0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:19.600 Jackson had to say about that. 0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:21.840 You know, we made adjustments on some of our plays 0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:25.760 that became a little bit i would say predictable, just 0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:29.120 because we had X. We had a lot of Wow 0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:31.760 we're just left. We had a lot of success with 0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:34.400 some plays in the season, and you know c NFL 0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:37.320 so coaches are smart, they adjust, and I feel like 0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:39.720 we did a great job on our end adjusting to 0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:42.880 their adjustments. So, you know, causing the issue, causing more 0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:46.160 adjustments is what we want as offense and as players, 0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:48.200 you know, we have to take in you know, that 0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:51.000 new instruction and execute it. So I think we've done 0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:51.680 a good job at that. 0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:54.120 I thought Kendall Lamb had some really nice work in 0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:56.040 this game. Had a good down block on every heem 0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:58.560 first down run, had a beautiful block on a second 0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:00.760 one conversion. On the opening drive. He took the four 0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:03.840 eye technique who which is the inside shoulder of the 0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:06.560 left tackle and wanted to slant across his face, and 0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:08.560 he just took him down there and buried him, which 0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:11.680 created this lane for Raheem to convert on leam Meichenberg 0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:13.440 was on the ground a lot. Again. I just I 0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:15.840 don't get it. It's constant losses. I talk about that 0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:17.640 line we have to play above, right, we have to 0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:20.000 have a certain amount of guys above this line. I 0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:22.960 think that he's so far removed from that line that 0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:25.880 it's not playable. That's how I see it. It just 0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:29.040 there's no catching and climbing, no second level attachment. He 0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:31.160 whiffs on the first level all the time. I just 0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:33.160 don't see it. And that's as far as I'll go 0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.880 on that. I don't think Lester Cotton's striking has gotten 0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:37.480 any better where he can kind of miss, you know. 0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:39.680 Chris Coffin from the three Yards per Carry podcast, also 0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.840 another good Dolphins podcast, has this point. He makes about 0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:45.800 batting average on the offensive line and how some guys 0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.640 are slugging percentage players, which I love the baseball offerences, Chris, 0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:51.080 but in an offensive line play, you want to have 0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:53.280 a high batting average, and I don't think that Cotton 0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:55.000 does that. I also don't think he slugs that high 0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:58.240 particularly high either. I thought Rob Jones outside of that 0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:01.000 one fourth and one seal had some rough blocks as well. 0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:03.960 So again I'm tracking all this and I'm acknowledging that 0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:06.720 there are some failed blocks. But in the grand scheme 0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:08.760 of things I talked about all those misses, what happened 0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:11.000 on that drive? They score a touchdown. So that's been 0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:13.600 my point since freaking twenty twenty two, when I was 0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.400 arguing with Mina Kimes about this on Twitter. I'm pretty 0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:18.640 sure Jack Driscoll is the best offensive lineman we've seen 0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:21.520 through two games. He's playing very fast out of the blocks. 0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:24.040 He's playing square and low to his man. He reached 0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:25.640 and sealed a three technique and put him on the 0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:28.920 ground in that first eight chan run for eight yards, fast, physical, 0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:31.360 elite technique. That seems to me like that's how he's 0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:33.760 playing in these tapes. I thought Andrew Meyer was very 0:32:33.800 --> 0:32:35.280 good once again until the very end of the game. 0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:37.360 He had some rough couple of drives at the end. 0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:39.960 I thought there was some communication issues across the line 0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:42.960 once Jack Harlow went down and they went to Hines, 0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:45.920 Jones and Meyer, and it was rough from that point forward. 0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:47.920 But I'm liking what I'm seeing here in two tapes 0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:50.360 here because I'm a big processor guy. You guys know that, 0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:52.600 and just watch him on games and delays. He has 0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:54.400 a great feel of where he can help, where he 0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:57.040 can kind of drop step slash like fluid hip movement 0:32:57.080 --> 0:33:00.240 to get that combination of actions to put your self 0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:02.440 in the right position getting depth from the pass rush. 0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:04.640 So like what I saw from him. I thought Patrick 0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:06.960 Paul overset a couple of times and had the worst 0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:09.760 consequences on one of those, a sackophone on your quarterback 0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:11.800 who gets hitt in his blind side. We can't have that. 0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:13.920 But he's still making some blocks in the running game 0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:16.320 and also getting his share of pass pro wins too. 0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:19.160 I want to make that perfectly clear that the run 0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:23.560 game stuff is rare, rare, rare positives where the pass 0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:26.440 protection shaky, but the run game stuff like you can 0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:28.680 see the thinking there, right. I thought Ryan Hayes had 0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:30.480 his best game as a dolphin caught a body on 0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:33.440 the long Chris Brooks run as well. So some up, 0:33:33.480 --> 0:33:36.400 some downs, not great across the line individually, but the 0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:40.200 results are the results, and that's cause a good process. 0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:42.000 Let's go ahead and take our last break right there, 0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:43.880 come back into the defense on the other side and 0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:46.600 talk about this trend I not sing in the college 0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:48.680 level that will have an impact in the NFL level 0:33:48.720 --> 0:33:51.960 here coming up very shortly in this year, probably in 0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:54.760 years to come as well. That's all next Draft Time podcast, 0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:59.440 your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Autnation Off 0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:02.040 the Top by He's the concept of how we see 0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:05.880 a little bit of scheme coming into play from Anthony Weaver. 0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:08.759 Maybe not necessarily all the you know, kitchen sync that 0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:10.799 you might see from him this year, but really just 0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:14.960 with regards to how he wants to coach this defense, 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:17.080 how he wants to get his stops, how he wants 0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:20.320 to put guys in positions to trust what's gonna happen 0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:22.560 with the other ten guys in the field. I love 0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.480 the opening drive, third down play that got him off 0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:27.120 the field, where Daniels kind of just threw away the 0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.640 slot fade and you know, basically the same thing that 0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:31.759 Skylar did on that third and two to leak Washington, Like, 0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:34.000 we're gonna throw a five percent completion ball, which if 0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:35.400 you can get that, it's a defense you take it 0:34:35.440 --> 0:34:38.120 every single day. It's like putting a hand in a 0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:41.240 three point shooter's face, who's beyond the three point line. 0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:44.000 I just love how they overloaded the pressure to create 0:34:44.040 --> 0:34:46.760 a free run from Chop and a dB to that side, 0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:49.640 because if Chop has a free run, what's a one 0:34:49.760 --> 0:34:51.480 six ten split time gonna do. It's gonna get to 0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:53.520 the quarterback fast than anybody else on the freaking planet 0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:55.440 can do. And it makes me very excited about the 0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:58.040 possibilities we have when everybody is back with JP and 0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:00.800 Beachub and all these guys that can you know, allow 0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:03.680 Chop to get those situations, can allow Weave to dial 0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:06.759 up player Holland or Cater or Jalen Ramsey, whoever wants 0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:09.520 to come on the blitz. They have so many options. Now, 0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:13.080 we busted a coverage on that long Jeff Driscoll run. 0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:14.839 That's why he was able to gallop through there like that. 0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:17.640 Cam Smith chased a deep over from like ten yards 0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:20.520 behind it and what looked like cover three. So when 0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:22.560 he could have been guarding grass and been there for 0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:24.360 the run, he winds up chasing a player out of 0:35:24.360 --> 0:35:26.719 the play, which I don't understand that. I don't know 0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:28.520 what happened there, but it wasn't good on film, and 0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:30.279 he just kind of got stuck there up in the 0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:33.239 front seven. I was underwhelmed by Hand and Harris, but 0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:35.760 nothing too crazy. I still don't see it with Peelee. 0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:37.520 He looks a little bit stronger to me, but the 0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:39.720 lack of mobility to me turns him into an immediate 0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:44.000 stalemate like immediately way too often. That sack was because 0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.240 the center tripped over his guard and just got tackled 0:35:46.280 --> 0:35:47.640 right into the quarterback, So I didn't really put a 0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:50.120 lot stock into that. I thought Nellell Gallimore had another 0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:52.080 one of his nights. He had played some double teams 0:35:52.120 --> 0:35:54.600 and rushed the best out of those rotation guys. We 0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:59.400 talked about hand Pee Lee Harris Putito's on out there, 0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:01.360 but he's a rush with them, Benito. You know, I 0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:03.840 think Chop might be ready to be an impact rusher 0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:06.360 like right now. His first rap of the day was 0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:08.759 speed to power. He got Andrew Wiley, who started for 0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:10.399 the Chiefs in the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, 0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:13.920 on skates and forced Daniels to speed up his throwing process, 0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:15.360 and he missed the out route that should have been 0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.239 a layup one that he hits in the very next play, 0:36:17.239 --> 0:36:19.279 by the way, when he has protected. I do think 0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:20.759 that he got caught in the washing a little bit 0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:22.719 in the running game, and that's where as a rookie, 0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:24.480 you'd expect him to have his losses. That was kind 0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:27.799 of his scouting report coming out. But he can grow 0:36:27.840 --> 0:36:31.600 and improve upon that. Now. Mohammed Kamara did some things 0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:34.440 that make me think that maybe he's the base down defender. 0:36:34.480 --> 0:36:36.640 Early while you wait for two and fifteen to get 0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:38.960 back or if two's not back right away, because he 0:36:39.040 --> 0:36:42.280 showed really well in both areas. The rush win was awesome, 0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:45.000 but playing the run like they pulled a backside guard 0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:47.239 and he went and whacked him and he got knocked back. 0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:49.120 That's a big due that he put on his butt, 0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:51.120 and I just wonder if maybe he's in line for 0:36:51.160 --> 0:36:53.799 some more base down work opposite Emmanuel Ogba while you 0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:56.000 wait for for Chubb and Phillips to be full go. 0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:58.560 I think Quentin Bell has really flat lined in the games, 0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:00.000 like after a really good camp. I just had an 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:01.279 made a lot of plays in the games and we'll 0:37:01.280 --> 0:37:03.640 see if he can get one on Friday. But just 0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:05.719 worth noting, I thought it was a rough night for 0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:09.080 a couple of the depth backers and Zeke Vandenberg and 0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:14.359 Curtis Bolton. Speaking of linebackers Jordan Brooks and David Long, 0:37:14.480 --> 0:37:17.200 you know I mentioned the fast, physical elite technique signs 0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:19.080 throughout the building. That's kind of one of McDaniel's or 0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:22.120 is his staple. It's all I can think of when 0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:24.239 we watch these two guys play. The first play, the 0:37:24.239 --> 0:37:27.360 Commanders go with a counter tray, which is two pollers 0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:29.960 usually your garden tackle, you pull them, you down block, 0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:31.440 you try to pin guys, and it's like a pin 0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:34.279 and poll type of scheme. And Brooks fires the a 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:36.239 gap and takes one of those pollers out of the 0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:39.560 equation and it creates this scrape and fit for David Long, 0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:41.560 where you you scrape off of the stack, you know, 0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:44.200 defensive tackle who's taking on a blocker and then you 0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:46.439 have this pulling guard on his butt because Jordan Brooks 0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:48.160 just went and put him there. And then it creates 0:37:48.160 --> 0:37:50.160 this run for David Long, who is so fast and 0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:52.600 physical that he hits it and makes the play. And 0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:55.239 you watch the way that the Ravens used Rokwan Smith 0:37:55.280 --> 0:37:57.840 and Patrick Queen and Baltimore. It looks similar to me 0:37:57.880 --> 0:37:59.799 in terms of usage and how they want to use 0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:03.320 their skill sets together and pair them together fast, aggressive, 0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:06.280 big hitters, great key readers, two of the most instinctive 0:38:06.320 --> 0:38:09.239 backers in the game. I am very, very excited about 0:38:09.280 --> 0:38:11.160 these two. But I will say there was a couple 0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:12.800 of snaps where David Long did get caught up in 0:38:12.800 --> 0:38:15.400 the wash a few times, but that's they'll get that 0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:18.400 ironed out. Without doubt. To me, I thought Channing Tyndall's 0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:21.680 traits are showing to translate in this defense as a 0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:24.480 sub rusher and special teams guy, which he's done those 0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:26.520 things well. In the preseason, he had a stunt rep 0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:29.800 where he squeezed and what that means is there was 0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:31.239 a gap for him to run through, and he could 0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:33.760 have bailed in the assignment and ran through that gap, 0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:35.440 and he would have found out that the reason we 0:38:35.480 --> 0:38:37.880 have this particular thing is because we can squeeze it 0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:40.520 and create more opportunity more space. It's like I talked 0:38:40.560 --> 0:38:42.479 about with Tyreek Hill in the way he runs his routes. 0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:44.600 He's not gonna cheat on the route. He's gonna finish 0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:47.360 the route to maximize the space. Like, yeah, there's space 0:38:47.400 --> 0:38:49.120 there and I can go get it now, but I 0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:52.040 can really finish the route and maximize it. And on 0:38:52.080 --> 0:38:54.440 the stunt he takes the center and squeezes him in 0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:56.640 close to the guard and it gets the defensive tackle 0:38:56.680 --> 0:38:58.520 to run this loop off of him. And when the 0:38:58.520 --> 0:39:00.680 center sees that loop, he ends up getting more with 0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:03.520 which creates a run for Chang Tyndall and he goes 0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:06.640 and hits the quarterback. It's really really nice growth to me. 0:39:07.000 --> 0:39:09.000 I think that's he's seeing it better and as allowing 0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:12.080 him to play faster in his third year here. Defensive 0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:14.480 backs Cater Kohu speaking of seeing it well, he's playing 0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:16.600 really fast and especially in coverage. He had a great 0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:19.520 read on this cover three play where he kind of 0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:22.040 came over and challenged the route even though it got caught. 0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:24.120 He had a really nice play getting Jayden Daniels to 0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:26.920 the ground on a read option play where he played 0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:29.440 the outside contained but also like converged and kind of 0:39:29.440 --> 0:39:31.640 shortened that angle. Just playing fast, That's what I look 0:39:31.640 --> 0:39:33.799 for in these games. I thought Marcus May and his 0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:36.279 ability to come from depth like twelve yards off on 0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:38.760 a two y two bubble screen and make the tackle 0:39:38.760 --> 0:39:40.919 at the line of scrimmage. That's the type of heat 0:39:40.920 --> 0:39:43.239 seeking missiles I love to see in my safeties. And 0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:46.080 then Storm Ducks feisty as hell. Man. I bet receivers 0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:48.920 hate playing against this dude. He challenges you in everything 0:39:48.960 --> 0:39:50.680 you do. All Right, A couple of thoughts from around 0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:52.200 the league. And I'm gonna dunk on another guy that 0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:54.959 dunked on last week because I just see Bill's fans 0:39:54.960 --> 0:39:56.720 saying like, oh, I'm so glad we have a contested 0:39:56.760 --> 0:40:00.600 catch guy now over Stefan Diggs. Okay targets in the 0:40:00.600 --> 0:40:02.840 preseason two catches twenty yards oh for three on red 0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:05.839 zone targets, alligator armed a slant, which if you can't 0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:08.120 make that play, keyon Coleman, what play you're gonna make? 0:40:08.120 --> 0:40:09.680 I think the Bills are in for a root awakening 0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:12.760 and how they constructed this receiving corps this year. Speaking 0:40:12.800 --> 0:40:15.520 of receivers, I think Malik Neighbors is going to be really, 0:40:15.560 --> 0:40:17.200 really good. I think I'll go down as receiver one 0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:19.520 in this class. I was a realm of doonesay guy, 0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:22.719 but I've kind of changed my flavor on that. I 0:40:22.760 --> 0:40:24.799 think that it'll be you know, all three of those guys, 0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:26.399 Harrison two are going to be great. But I think 0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:29.560 the big takeaway here is what you doing San Diego 0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:33.280 or Los Angeles whatever. Joe Walt's going to be fine, 0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:35.840 no harm, no foul there. But like you passed on 0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:38.360 Elak Neighbors when you have a two hundred million dollars quarterback, 0:40:38.960 --> 0:40:41.480 Why would you do that? Why would you do that? 0:40:42.120 --> 0:40:44.600 I talked about this last week, but man, I think 0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:47.279 we are going to get a solid replenishment of young 0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.760 quarterbacks in the league this year. I said in the podcast, 0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:51.800 I think the best quarterback on tape last college season 0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:54.799 was Michael Pennix from dub Go Koog's Wrong School, by 0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:58.160 the way, that we hate those keys, and nothing he 0:40:58.640 --> 0:41:00.920 did in the two practices down here or in the 0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:02.719 game did anything to change that opinion. In fact, this 0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:04.520 slidified it for me. I thought he was fast and 0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:06.960 on time, he hit deep shots in practice and in 0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:09.319 the game. The Falcons are so impressed by him they 0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:11.399 shut him down for the preseason game, saying we've seen 0:41:11.480 --> 0:41:14.200 enough from Michael Pennix, which I can never remember a 0:41:14.239 --> 0:41:15.920 backup who got that kind of treatment. He's only a 0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:17.759 backup because they have a top ten twelve quarterback in 0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:20.719 Kirk Cousins. The top twelve thirteen, let's call it that. 0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:23.520 But I digress. I thought Jayden Daniels looked as comfortable 0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:26.200 as ever as a rookie can. That's crazy because I 0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:27.759 didn't think he was that at Arizona State, and he 0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:30.600 obviously got there at LSU. But pairing that big arm 0:41:30.640 --> 0:41:33.160 and creativity and the read option possibilities, I think I've 0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:34.919 kind of flipped my take on him, And my only 0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:37.440 concern now is he puts himself in harm's way way 0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:40.600 too much. We saw it for a skinny quarterback, you know, 0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:42.840 much of the chagrin of Dan Quinn, the entire commander's 0:41:42.840 --> 0:41:44.680 sideline in the game. He almost got himself killed in 0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:46.960 the game. It's the preseason game. Caleb Williams me the 0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:49.160 highlight plays, but I thought the game was indicative of 0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:51.800 who he was in college. Lots of wow highlight plays 0:41:51.800 --> 0:41:53.879 that got Twitter all crazy. But did you guys watch 0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:56.560 the first three drives where there was no offstructure stuff, 0:41:56.600 --> 0:41:58.839 and he was like one for six and they went 0:41:58.880 --> 0:42:02.040 three and out three consecutive times. The difference of course 0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:04.840 here with you know, with Caleb compared to Daniels or Knicks, 0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:07.799 what do you think it is? Because Bo Nicks all 0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:10.680 beat against backups. You know, the two weeks he's played 0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:13.439 in the preseason looks very comfortable and he probably starts there. 0:42:14.080 --> 0:42:16.959 And he made sixty college starts. Pennis made forty five 0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:20.920 or give or take, and Caleb did have over thirty starts. 0:42:20.920 --> 0:42:24.480 But I think, you know, each extra start, I mean, 0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:26.560 that's like a full season for Penix. It's two plus 0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:28.600 seasons for bon Nicks. It kind of has been thinking 0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:31.040 about the same thing I talk about with the offensive 0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:34.040 line play where you know, us football diehards have always 0:42:34.040 --> 0:42:38.319 wondered what would a professional affiliate system look like for 0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.920 football like it does a baseball Well, they aren't affiliated, 0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:43.040 but that's basically what college has become now because you 0:42:43.080 --> 0:42:45.560 can get paid and develop your game the miners quote 0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:48.919 unquote without beginning the clock on your rookie contract. Why 0:42:48.960 --> 0:42:51.000 not do that? We see all these offensive linemen in 0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:53.400 their third or fourth year, sometimes on their second contract 0:42:53.440 --> 0:42:55.799 with the team, and that's where they find their footing. Well, 0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:58.160 if these quarterbacks can develop their game further in college, 0:42:58.480 --> 0:43:00.399 maybe that's the way to go. But the general point 0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:03.120 here is after the twenty twenty three class gave us, 0:43:03.239 --> 0:43:05.360 you know, one certified stud and C. J. Stroud, and 0:43:05.360 --> 0:43:07.640 we'll see what happens to Bryce Young. I don't think 0:43:07.680 --> 0:43:09.960 it's gonna happen there, but we'll see. And then Will 0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:11.600 Levis also don't think it's gonna happen there, but I 0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:14.040 do think Anthony Richardson's gonna be an absolute stud. So 0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:16.719 if we get two from that class after basically a 0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:19.160 wash in twenty twenty two, outside of Rock Perdy, who 0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:21.200 by the way, was two for six was six yards 0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:23.560 when all the stars didn't play for him, which is 0:43:23.560 --> 0:43:25.360 a little bit different than five for five with fifty 0:43:25.360 --> 0:43:28.320 one yards and a touchdown. I'm just saying, Kenny Pickett 0:43:28.320 --> 0:43:30.160 and that twenty twenty two class is a backup now 0:43:30.239 --> 0:43:32.640 who's not gonna see the field anytime soon. Malik Willis 0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:34.920 is not even a two anymore. The twenty twenty one 0:43:34.920 --> 0:43:37.040 class basically gave us Trevor Lawrence and that was it. 0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:39.920 As Jones, Wilson and Fields are all backup quarterbacks or 0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:42.680 we'll see how long Field is on the bench, but 0:43:42.719 --> 0:43:44.200 it's not getting better for him there. I don't think 0:43:44.320 --> 0:43:47.000 Trey Lance going the wrong way. This league thrives when 0:43:47.040 --> 0:43:48.920 the quarterback plays adds best. And if we start to 0:43:48.960 --> 0:43:50.759 lose stalwarts that have been in the league for a 0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:54.000 long time like Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford Kirk Cousins, 0:43:54.040 --> 0:43:56.759 as those guys retire, we'll have a nice crop here 0:43:56.800 --> 0:43:59.080 to play. Those guys here coming down the pike. I think, 0:43:59.160 --> 0:44:01.799 all right us tomorrow Wednesday in Tampa Bay, we'll have 0:44:01.840 --> 0:44:04.480 the preview pod Thursday and do a final camp notes 0:44:04.520 --> 0:44:06.719 portion in that one as well.
