Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the Audible Kimboat Caper, John,
Speaker 1: come Jemmy with you, and it's always the Audible is
Speaker 1: predentify our good friends at Automnation Americans most questi Automotive dealership.
Speaker 1: Just go to Automation dot com and stopped by the
Speaker 1: dealership and pick up your a new car and uh youo.
Speaker 1: You can listen to us here on the Audible on
Speaker 1: on all your screen platforms, minding Dolphins dot com, anywhere
Speaker 1: you catch your your podcast. But John, it's gonning to
Speaker 1: be the good time of the year now the draft
Speaker 1: draft is over. We kind of restocked a little bit,
Speaker 1: going through some free agency, gone through some some unrestricted
Speaker 1: free agents on college free agents coming in and now
Speaker 1: you've got guys on the field and John, it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's really a good time of year. Now. It seems
Speaker 1: like it's always a good time of year for the
Speaker 1: NFL football. But now now are you getting closer and
Speaker 1: closer to the real thing and guys on the field.
Speaker 1: And it's nice to see the Dolphins back in practice,
Speaker 1: uh at their for Sylvian Davy it is it's it's
Speaker 1: good to hear and see video of Miami Dolphins out
Speaker 1: on the practice field. Coach client Brian Flores in his
Speaker 1: coaching sound being able to get their arms around the
Speaker 1: guys and be able to go out and actually implement
Speaker 1: an offense and a defense and and special teams because
Speaker 1: it gets back closer to real football. You know, we
Speaker 1: had all the excitement of the NFL Draft, and we
Speaker 1: had you know, we had our first round was was
Speaker 1: was unbelievable at hard Rock Stadium for our draft party.
Speaker 1: And now we get to see the guys in a
Speaker 1: jersey and identify them with the number, you know, Jalen
Speaker 1: Waddle was seventeen, and Jalen Phillips wearing fifteen, and and
Speaker 1: Hollands in the secondary and and all those guys being
Speaker 1: out on the field integrated with the veterans on this team,
Speaker 1: with the guys that have been there and done that,
Speaker 1: with Avante Parker and William Fooler coming over and Xavian
Speaker 1: Howard and Byron Jones. So it's it's a lot of
Speaker 1: exciting times in Davey right now because I don't know
Speaker 1: if the guys are going at it, you know, on
Speaker 1: the field, because they it's more of walkthroughs and more
Speaker 1: of your installing offense and defense and special teams. But
Speaker 1: it's guys being around of guys and trying to get
Speaker 1: this team to become one. So you're in a better
Speaker 1: position when training camp hits, when the preseason hits, and
Speaker 1: ultimately when September twelve hits. You know. The the other thing, John,
Speaker 1: I think when you look at this situation where they're
Speaker 1: at now and you continue to see other steps in
Speaker 1: the growth process of Brian Flores as a head coach,
Speaker 1: Chris Greer as a general manager, working together in unison
Speaker 1: with those guys, and really for Brian Flores to kind
Speaker 1: of talk to his guys and say, hey, look, you
Speaker 1: know we'd like to it's it's a voluntary camps out
Speaker 1: here other than these rookie minicamps in the in the
Speaker 1: main mini caamp, we like to have as many people
Speaker 1: as you can if we back off on the work
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know. They and so they kind
Speaker 1: of came to some kind of agreement. It seems like John,
Speaker 1: for everything that I've been able to gather that uh,
Speaker 1: they've kind of they've bought into seventy people out of
Speaker 1: on the on the voluntary workouts. When when it started
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the week and uh and and
Speaker 1: I there's harmony there, and these guys love being out
Speaker 1: in the field with Brian and and and with the
Speaker 1: with Flow and so I think you're starting to see
Speaker 1: more of that thumb print that those two guys have
Speaker 1: put on this football team. I think negotiating a deal
Speaker 1: with your players to be there, I think to me,
Speaker 1: it was a brilliant move by this foot, by this
Speaker 1: football team. And I know, I know other teams have
Speaker 1: people there at varying degrees, but I don't really don't
Speaker 1: care about them right now. I just care about this
Speaker 1: with fall team. That's right a bow. I think we
Speaker 1: need coach Flowdan negotiate our new contracts when they come.
Speaker 1: Get us a couple more dollars. Huh. He seemed like
Speaker 1: he did a pretty good job of getting the guys
Speaker 1: into the building and getting guys to buy in, isn't it.
Speaker 1: You know that that's what it's all about. It's about
Speaker 1: doing it as a team, about doing it and getting
Speaker 1: on that same page. You know we've heard about the
Speaker 1: changing philosophies and changing mindset. Well, there's gotta be one
Speaker 1: voice ultimately that's that's doing that, and it's got to
Speaker 1: get you have to have buy in from the best player,
Speaker 1: and you have to have buy in from the bottom
Speaker 1: of the roster. You have to buy it from everybody.
Speaker 1: And I think he's been able to achieve that, and
Speaker 1: his assistant coaches have been able to achieve that. This
Speaker 1: is a really important offseason for the Miami Dolphins. The
Speaker 1: growth of this team and the success of this team
Speaker 1: is going to be, you know, everybody being on the
Speaker 1: same page. But you have to have to a tong
Speaker 1: of Ioloa getting to know this offense like it's the
Speaker 1: back of his hand, like he's been in this system
Speaker 1: for ten years. And it only happens with guys being
Speaker 1: around and being out on the field and going to
Speaker 1: walk throughs and being able to communicate and being able
Speaker 1: to be in those meeting rooms and say, no, this
Speaker 1: is how we want it done, and this is how
Speaker 1: I'd like it done, or maybe we change something here
Speaker 1: because I don't like that as a quarterback as to us.
Speaker 1: So you only get that by being in the room
Speaker 1: and being able to go out on the field, watch
Speaker 1: it on tape, and then come back and say I
Speaker 1: liked it, I didn't like it, Let's try it again.
Speaker 1: And the same thing with defense, you know, you have
Speaker 1: guys that can play multiple positions, but maybe Andrew and
Speaker 1: Giagle says, you know, I really like me being out
Speaker 1: on on the perimeter and a few points stands in
Speaker 1: that blitz, or you know, I like being down low
Speaker 1: and Christian Wilkins, you know, moving around the center. You
Speaker 1: only get that by being out on the field and
Speaker 1: getting that instant feedback. So I think this is a
Speaker 1: really crucial time for the Dolphins, a young roster. Again,
Speaker 1: it gets to know what they what they like, what
Speaker 1: they don't like. So they're in a better position come
Speaker 1: late July and early August. They're already ahead of the
Speaker 1: game in terms of we've we've already gotten rid of
Speaker 1: the stuff we don't like, where let's concentrate on what
Speaker 1: we do like and build from there. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: the other thing to it, it gives you know, this
Speaker 1: is the this is the first offensive coordinators stoods villain
Speaker 1: Godzi and and it gives it's gonna give them a
Speaker 1: chance to work with those guys and and go through
Speaker 1: that motion solute of being a two headed offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: Because it's just's you know, it's it's it's not very
Speaker 1: often you see it in this league. So it's it's in.
Speaker 1: It's a new situation for these guys, so it's important
Speaker 1: for them to go through this, these motions with these
Speaker 1: players there, uh to to to get to where they
Speaker 1: want to be when the season rolls around. And then
Speaker 1: the other thing John too is you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: easy to get the rookies in. It's easy to get
Speaker 1: the rookies to buy in, to come in because because
Speaker 1: they're chopping at the bit to be here anyway. But
Speaker 1: but yeah, but to be able to get some of
Speaker 1: the veterans to to to buy in and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna back off a little bit, yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: come in and do it. And And because I I
Speaker 1: think in the back of their minds, if if if
Speaker 1: they let their agents get out of their head, they
Speaker 1: don't they all want to be out on the field,
Speaker 1: practice and play because that's what you do and that's
Speaker 1: what you look forward to. So I think it's I
Speaker 1: just think I just said what they've been able to do,
Speaker 1: communicating wise with their team and getting them to a
Speaker 1: position where everybody is comfortable with having that many people
Speaker 1: these types of practices, Uh, it's just gonna be it's
Speaker 1: gonna be good for everybody. Well, it's just sharpening your
Speaker 1: skill set. I mean, you've got multiple people on that
Speaker 1: offensive line. I'm looking at names. Austin Jackson might be
Speaker 1: the only guy that's gonna play you know, his position.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't know where see Davis or d J.
Speaker 1: Fluker might end up Robert Hunt and solemnly killing. They
Speaker 1: may be on opposite sides of the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: from from Matt Scurrow on the right side of the
Speaker 1: left side. No one really knows. So you get a
Speaker 1: young guy like Eckenberg who might be able to play
Speaker 1: both tackles. Well, let's see, let's see his footwork. Let's
Speaker 1: let's put it on tape and be able to be
Speaker 1: that far ahead of the game. When July comes around
Speaker 1: and and the coaches, the coaching staff has a better
Speaker 1: understanding of what they do better, how that unit works
Speaker 1: better together, and how the pieces kind of fit moving forward,
Speaker 1: and and all of a sudden bow, they probably go
Speaker 1: through what happens if X y Z goes down. Let's
Speaker 1: put Jesse Inside back at guard. Let's put Robert Hunt
Speaker 1: back at tackle. Let's put Fluker at guard. You know,
Speaker 1: let's let's mix and match and see what our best
Speaker 1: combination is if we do have some injuries along along
Speaker 1: the line and get them reps. Even though it's on air,
Speaker 1: even though they're in T shirts, it doesn't matter. It's
Speaker 1: the foot or it can stay hand placement. It's the
Speaker 1: play calling. It's the new terminology for the whiteouts, the
Speaker 1: running backs and the quarterbacks to kind of go through
Speaker 1: those hand signals and those motions that you can you
Speaker 1: can dress, rehearse for when it really matters in the fall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, and to me, it's all it's
Speaker 1: also you don't you don't need to hit anybody out there,
Speaker 1: but it's but but it's it's it's much better received
Speaker 1: when you're on the field that than over a zoom call,
Speaker 1: even if you're even if you're just walking through. It's
Speaker 1: just it's it's it's leaps and bounds hit. So so
Speaker 1: kudos to kudos to the staff were getting that done
Speaker 1: and getting those right down and getting credit these guys
Speaker 1: for coming out and saying, yeah, yeah, we're we know
Speaker 1: how important this year is for this football team and
Speaker 1: and uh and so let's go out and get this
Speaker 1: going again. You know, you keep looking at at this
Speaker 1: football team and the improvements they made, and like you
Speaker 1: talked about offense defense, whether it's Jalen Phillips, whether it's
Speaker 1: that NERK McKinney, who whoever it is, you talked about
Speaker 1: the offensive linement. You know, they want it seems like
Speaker 1: they want everybody on this football team to be able
Speaker 1: to play at least two positions or multiple. They won't,
Speaker 1: you know, and I think that was part of their
Speaker 1: draft process. I mean, look at you, look at uh,
Speaker 1: look at Jalen Phillips. You know, here's a guy that
Speaker 1: can he can stand up as an outside linebacker. He
Speaker 1: can blitz, he can put his hand in the dirt,
Speaker 1: he can be a three technique guy. He can you
Speaker 1: can be an edge rusher were with his hand. You
Speaker 1: can do a lot of different things, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: use them different ways as well as just about everybody
Speaker 1: in this roster, especially that whole that glut of defensive
Speaker 1: backs they got at their safeties and corners where you
Speaker 1: know those guys are gonna be I think every one
Speaker 1: of those guys is gonna have to play probably three
Speaker 1: positions across that board. Um as they get out and
Speaker 1: then the season begins. I agree with that, Bob. I
Speaker 1: was just looking at Jason mccordie's name. You know, you
Speaker 1: almost he's on he's a member of the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: that he might play safety. You know he could play outside.
Speaker 1: You know you have Eric row, you have Brandon Jones
Speaker 1: had a hell of a first year as a rookie,
Speaker 1: and opinion, you have Nick need him back there, You've
Speaker 1: got I Donogny. I mean there's a there's a array
Speaker 1: of different skill sets that these this coaching staff and
Speaker 1: Josh Lawyer as the defensive coordinator coming into his second year,
Speaker 1: he wants to plug and play with some of these guys.
Speaker 1: You know, you need to know where he can put
Speaker 1: the best eleven And like I said, but the offensive line,
Speaker 1: if Eric Rohwe goes down, do you kick Brandon Jones
Speaker 1: in that spot? Do you Accordy there? Do you keep
Speaker 1: keep needing at the nickel? Is Igbanomony have enough of
Speaker 1: a skill set to be able to play inside or outside.
Speaker 1: So these are the things that you go through knowing
Speaker 1: you have Howard and Jones as your premier corners on
Speaker 1: the outside, so give you that flexibility to be able
Speaker 1: to go into a season knowing that, you know, I've
Speaker 1: got multiple talents that that can play different positions and
Speaker 1: different roles on this team, and you just gotta see
Speaker 1: what fits best for the Miami Dolphins. The two thousand
Speaker 1: twenty one version of the Miami Dolphins. Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's uh. I like, what's shapen up, like
Speaker 1: the like like the cast of characters they got out there.
Speaker 1: Now we just gotta see him, see him kick the
Speaker 1: ball off and talk about that. John, we come back.
Speaker 1: Schedules out. You know where they're playing, you know when
Speaker 1: they're playing, you know where they're going. I have to.
Speaker 1: I happen to be in Las Vegas for the last
Speaker 1: few days, and everywhere I go, everybody I see this,
Speaker 1: they say they're they're fans of the Buffalo Bills or
Speaker 1: their fans of whoever's coming to Las Vegas. They're coming
Speaker 1: to watch their team. So Vega is gonna be pretty
Speaker 1: hot spot I think for NFL football. Satndays out here,
Speaker 1: Hey John talking about the guys in camp and what
Speaker 1: they're doing. But uh, you know, the season's not too
Speaker 1: far off here, and schedule comes out, so you know
Speaker 1: you know who you're playing. But it's always exciting to
Speaker 1: see the scheduling and where you're going. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know about you, but for for me,
Speaker 1: my first thing when I my perusal is schedule usually
Speaker 1: deals with the road games and where we're gonna eat
Speaker 1: dinner when we get there. That's kind of my field.
Speaker 1: You gotta have priorities, right, I mean, you gotta know it. Sushi,
Speaker 1: you know, the barbecue. Where where are we going? You
Speaker 1: gotta know you gotta plan those out. You know, it's
Speaker 1: any and any good freeloader on on a football team,
Speaker 1: you know, and those nose that's the that's the real deal.
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta figure out all those things. So
Speaker 1: you have to have the right crowd because you don't
Speaker 1: have to go in your pocket too many times. No no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no no. You get you get on that plane,
Speaker 1: in your pockets seal up. They don't they don't open
Speaker 1: up again until you get round back in for a lot. Hey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So so let's take a look at the schedule, John,
Speaker 1: You know the I was expecting a little more from
Speaker 1: the schedule in in this way because you know, to me, um,
Speaker 1: you can look at your schedule and tell what the
Speaker 1: league thinks about you and your football team. Right, And
Speaker 1: you look at the Dolphins, and they've got they get
Speaker 1: one Monday night football game December twenty seven in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: They got a Thursday night game at home against Baltimore
Speaker 1: November eleven, they got the London game, and and they've
Speaker 1: got to four o'clock games. Now, one of the four
Speaker 1: o'clock games is because it's out in Las Vegas in
Speaker 1: that time zone. And but to me, John, sorry, I
Speaker 1: look at I look at prime time games, but but
Speaker 1: I look at four o'clock games for East coast team,
Speaker 1: for an Eastern team, because to me, a four o'clock
Speaker 1: game is is it's a national game because it's gonna
Speaker 1: be seen on the East and West coast. And so
Speaker 1: to me, those are those to me are as much
Speaker 1: of an indication of what the schedule makers think about
Speaker 1: your football team. And a little surprised that they only
Speaker 1: have the the two prime time UH prime time games
Speaker 1: and the two um four o'clock games, again one being
Speaker 1: a Las Vegas game, which probably which is the equivalent
Speaker 1: of a one o'clock game. But a little bit surprised
Speaker 1: that they didn't have a little more four o'clock games
Speaker 1: in the schedule. You know, the one that surprises me,
Speaker 1: I understand. The opening weekend Yere at New England. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be an unbelievable setting because I think the
Speaker 1: Dolphins had one win in the last decade there, um,
Speaker 1: and you don't know who's gonna be playing quarterback there
Speaker 1: for New England, Mac Jones or Cam Newton. But the
Speaker 1: second week, you know, week to September nineteen, Buffalo at
Speaker 1: one o'clock. I'm almost glad it's at one o'clock game,
Speaker 1: you know, because you get him in the heat. But
Speaker 1: that would have been my my thought. I thought that
Speaker 1: was gonna be. Look, look, don't get me wrong. I
Speaker 1: you know, I take those early one o'clock games in
Speaker 1: September all year, every every year. But as the season
Speaker 1: goes on, uh, you know, it's it's it's that I
Speaker 1: don't know. To me, it's just that it's you know,
Speaker 1: I remember I remember looking at our schedule when we
Speaker 1: were playing, and you're looking, you have three Monday and
Speaker 1: I put our two or three Monday night football games,
Speaker 1: maybe a Thursday game, and and four four o'clock games.
Speaker 1: And you knew you were, and you you were in
Speaker 1: the hut every year when when you saw the schedule,
Speaker 1: you know, and I expect you'd be a little closer
Speaker 1: to that with this schedule than these guys. But that's
Speaker 1: that's just my that's just my bone to pick. Well,
Speaker 1: you hope some of you know the tvds down the
Speaker 1: stretch when they have the flex games, that the Dolphins
Speaker 1: are in a position that they are being flexed and
Speaker 1: they are at you know, eight or nine wins as
Speaker 1: they're deep into December, you know, trying to get to ten,
Speaker 1: eleven and twelve. That that's the scenario that you hope
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are in. But you know, for me, looking
Speaker 1: at the schedule and Shlibo, I think it's it's a
Speaker 1: tough start. Yeah, well look at the over those first
Speaker 1: five games in New England on the road, which is
Speaker 1: I don't care what you said, I don't care what's
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, I don't care who's throwing football. They're they're
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough They're gonna be a tough gift
Speaker 1: there because that team wants to bounce back. Buffalo at home.
Speaker 1: Good thing you got him at home. Then you gotta
Speaker 1: come to Vegas and away a week later. And and
Speaker 1: you know, I, this is a team, this Vegas team,
Speaker 1: I I can't kind of get. I don't have an
Speaker 1: I don't have feel one way other on how good
Speaker 1: this team is gonna be. Then you got Indie at home.
Speaker 1: INDI's gonna be a very good football team. And uh,
Speaker 1: and then you got Tampa Bay away. Five games the
Speaker 1: first five games you really could define what your season
Speaker 1: is gonna look like beyond those five games the next
Speaker 1: next twelve weeks. And that was my thought coming out
Speaker 1: of the gate. Boy, the Miami Dolphins better play good
Speaker 1: football and they better be at their best early because
Speaker 1: you don't want to fall behind early and then have
Speaker 1: to catch up, you know, as you go to London
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville, or you get at Lanta at home and
Speaker 1: weeks seven, because then you're back on the road at Buffalo,
Speaker 1: which is always a tough environment, whether it's the last
Speaker 1: game of the year or in the middle of the season.
Speaker 1: And and the way I look at this Bowl, you know,
Speaker 1: it kind of softens up as it goes. But the
Speaker 1: bye week is until week fourth. Now this is going
Speaker 1: to be a marathon for this football team. You add
Speaker 1: in the three preseason games and you don't know how
Speaker 1: coach Flores is going to play as starters, you know,
Speaker 1: because usually the third game is an indicator that there
Speaker 1: are only three games, so you know at Atlanta and
Speaker 1: when when Atlantic comes to hard Rock Stadium, do the
Speaker 1: starters get an extended play there? Because you have a
Speaker 1: prime time you know game against Cincinnati as your last
Speaker 1: preseason game and you're trying to figure out who's gonna
Speaker 1: be on the roster. That that's a tough call because
Speaker 1: if you add those those weeks in, you're going sixteen
Speaker 1: football games before you have arrest and health becomes a
Speaker 1: major issue to get through early have success and be
Speaker 1: a healthy enough football team to win the games you're
Speaker 1: supposed to. And as this as the schedule turns and
Speaker 1: gets a little softer. Yeah, that that first, those first
Speaker 1: five games, and you kind of Jacksonville and you know,
Speaker 1: you expect Jacksonville, you know, you know they you know
Speaker 1: they you know what they've got talent talent wise, but
Speaker 1: I don't think that football team is gonna be at
Speaker 1: their peak for another year or so. If they get there. Uh,
Speaker 1: Atlanta is a good football you know, Houston's another team
Speaker 1: that's there's probably gonna be one of the seller dwellers
Speaker 1: in there. So you've got a couple of soft games
Speaker 1: maybe between Jacksonville and Houston, but really they're they're not
Speaker 1: a whole lot of breathing room in this in this
Speaker 1: schedule top to bottom. The other thing is, you know,
Speaker 1: for the last number of years the Dolphins have played
Speaker 1: a lot of an f C East games in the
Speaker 1: final months. You know they've been scheduled that way. But
Speaker 1: now you've got you know, with their with their late
Speaker 1: by you know, you've got you've won, You've got two
Speaker 1: a f C easton off all, you've got New York
Speaker 1: and New England and the season both of those of
Speaker 1: the good things about both of them are at home
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. But you know, you've got New Orleans
Speaker 1: and Tennessee in between those two and and and you
Speaker 1: know what's New Orleans gonna be. You know, Tennessee is
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough out right and when they come
Speaker 1: in that that being said, John, you know the one
Speaker 1: thing that I don't thing about the schedule, and always,
Speaker 1: you know, it's always that, oh do you get the schedule?
Speaker 1: Do you put ws and l's along the board? You know,
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people do that, but
Speaker 1: you know, I've always thought and evenly like, even looking
Speaker 1: at this schedule where you've got a tough start, well,
Speaker 1: what happens if you open up the season and Josh
Speaker 1: Allen's hurt for Buffalo not playing? That makes that whole
Speaker 1: game completely different? Yes, rightly agree, Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: because to me, I've always said, looked at the the
Speaker 1: schedule is as flexible as the health of the players
Speaker 1: on the teams you're gonna face. And so to sit
Speaker 1: here now and try to say, jeez, you got in
Speaker 1: New Orleans, you know, December, that's gonna be a tough
Speaker 1: one in in the in the Superdome, that's gonna be tough.
Speaker 1: But what happens to half their teams out? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? So you don't And that was my point.
Speaker 1: Both the same works for the Dolphins. You have you know,
Speaker 1: you have sixteen games before you have a boy, how
Speaker 1: healthy are the Miami Dolphins gonna be when you're you know,
Speaker 1: you're playing Atlanta at home and you feel like you
Speaker 1: should be a favorite. How holth are they gonna be
Speaker 1: after six football games? Right? You know? How on the
Speaker 1: short week in Baltimore, which I hate because it's always Baltimore.
Speaker 1: It always seems like a massacre, right, But I'm hoping
Speaker 1: that the tide turns because we're played at home, uh
Speaker 1: instead of being up in Baltimore. But you just don't know,
Speaker 1: And and that's the greatest thing about athletics, about sports,
Speaker 1: You just don't know until you line up that day.
Speaker 1: You know, how is to as help? You know, how
Speaker 1: do you how you doing to tackle? How how is
Speaker 1: the corners feeling? You know, the the defense has been
Speaker 1: porched for two weeks? Are they gonna bounce back? So
Speaker 1: there's so much uncertainty, and that's what makes sports sports,
Speaker 1: and it's fun to talk in banter about it. But
Speaker 1: you don't know until you line up and you see
Speaker 1: who's there and you play the game. Right, Well, all
Speaker 1: I know. All I know is since they've moved to Baltimore,
Speaker 1: that Raven football team has been a pain in the
Speaker 1: ass um and and maybe the maybe the most difficult
Speaker 1: matchup that the Dolphins have had since they've moved to Baltimore.
Speaker 1: That team, I don't know what it is. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter who's on their team. They always seem to be
Speaker 1: a horrible matchup for the Dolphins. And it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: when the game's playing. It does not matter where bo.
Speaker 1: When I was doing my exercise going ws and els,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you what I put in Baltimore,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't a pretty game in my hand. Uh Well,
Speaker 1: you look at past history and and and you just
Speaker 1: go by that. So hopefully I'm wrong. Yeah, but anyways,
Speaker 1: you know what, it's it's it. I'm excited for the schedule.
Speaker 1: I'm excited for the season. I you know, I you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not playing anymore. So I like the seven team
Speaker 1: game schedule. I know the players aren't really really happy
Speaker 1: with it. I tend to like it. Uh And hopefully,
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure what the situation is, hopefully they
Speaker 1: get a maybe one of these uh joy practices prior
Speaker 1: to one of their preseason games. I don't know what
Speaker 1: what the scheduling of that is is like now, but
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see about that. But uh,
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a fun football. It's I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a really good football see and
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, and and the schedule certainly is gonna
Speaker 1: give them every opportunity to see a lot of good
Speaker 1: players across the board. Well, it's exciting. It's exciting when
Speaker 1: it comes out because you finally know what time, who's
Speaker 1: playing where you're at. And it'll be exciting for the
Speaker 1: Dolphins too, you know, going into a new practice facility
Speaker 1: down at hard Rock Stadium to be able to be
Speaker 1: down there and and you hope Atlanta has that opportunity
Speaker 1: to come down a couple of days early in practice
Speaker 1: here and be able to you know, go at it
Speaker 1: and have a different colored jersey going up against uh,
Speaker 1: somebody that you're gonna play in weeks. So so maybe
Speaker 1: you know, because of that, maybe they don't do that.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's you know, just three three preseason games. You
Speaker 1: don't have a practice and a scrimmage in a game,
Speaker 1: uh in the preseason. But it is exciting to finally,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of take a look at it and
Speaker 1: map out the fall and and kind of hope that
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins can can start fast, continue it, stay
Speaker 1: healthy and be a factor, you know for the month
Speaker 1: of December and early January. Looking forward to coming down
Speaker 1: the hard Rock Stadium. Maybe I can take it's a
Speaker 1: lap around that have one track a couple of times
Speaker 1: before the before the parking lots get full up, before
Speaker 1: the games. Yeah, you might have su being to take
Speaker 1: that sull be on a spin around that around the
Speaker 1: chicage or something, you know, exactly unbelievable. Hie, Johnny, that's
