Loving these joint practices? 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.280 Uh, you know, the competition in training camp has been 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.720 terrific and it's actually been pretty fascinating here at Travis 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.280 to watch year two of Mike McDaniel, his offense, his 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:53.560 program in training camp. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.640 Especially the way he's communicated in press conference, is how 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.200 that whole process comes together before we get to the football. Though, 0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:59.800 I wanted to ask you something because we had the 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.320 dinner the other night, and you know. 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.279 The great Jason Jenkins. 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.480 It was a tradition of his and so I did 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.160 a great job fulfilling the next chapter of that, especially 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.520 back here in Jason's hometown. But I had not a 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.040 bone to pick with you, but I wanted to ask 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.760 you something because you gave me this great monologue last 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.960 night on how great the sea bass was at Capitol Grill. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.640 And then the waiter comes over and you order the 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.240 filet explain yourself. 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:23.840 Well, you know, it's a great question. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.400 It was a terrific dinner, thanks very much to the 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.560 you know, the dolphins and the staff. Having all the media, 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.160 it was wonderful. You got stuck with me at your table. 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.600 I just feel the sea bass is just delicious. I've 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.240 had it, and most sea bass is delicious. But when 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.040 you go to a steakhouse, you just have no choice, Travis, 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.919 You've got to order the state. So I was very torn. 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.800 The sea bass is great. I did give you a 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.000 pretty good dissertation of how good it was, how it 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.400 melts in your mouth, how it's buttery soft. But in 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.280 the end, when in Rome do is the Romans? So 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.440 if you're at a steakhouse, yeah, you got to go 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.799 for the meat. Tough decision, that's the one I made. 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.680 If I could have gotten one of each, believe me, 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:04.080 I would have. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.080 You essentially did what teams do on draft the draft process. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.560 You talked up this prospect for two months and that's 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.160 up for the last minute and took the other part. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.840 You're for a loop there on the order, you absolutely did. 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.320 Let's get back into Dolphins preseason actually here though, because 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.079 we had game one in the books, game two coming 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:19.880 up tomorrow night here in Houston. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.400 What are some things that you saw in the. 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.200 Game on Friday that you're kind of looking for is 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.840 translating into week two and seeing guys bill in that success. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.760 Yeah, first thing on offense to continue to play. You know, 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.120 you want to see Mike White and Skyler Thompson. I 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.160 expect we'll see him both tomorrow in the preseason game 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.440 against the Texans, So I want to see both those guys. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.720 I thought Mike moved the ball very well obviously, Oh 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.080 for three in the red zones. Oh for three in 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.640 the red zone. There's a lot of reasons for that. 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.280 You know, the top weapons weren't on the field. You 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.080 don't game plan for red zone in the preseason, but 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.800 you know they did move the ball. So the quarterbacks, 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.200 to me is always a focus. It's a quarterback league, 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.080 but getting a little more intricate into that that left 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.840 guard spot I think is still an interest thing battle there. 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.960 You know, Liam Eikenberg and Win and Cotton and all 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.040 those guys in that mix. And then the wide receivers 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.360 is rout, you know, the guys behind Waddle and Hill, 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.440 Robbie Chosen's made some plays in the preseason, did not 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.480 play in the first preseason game, made some plays in 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.760 training camp. I should say his love watching Braxton Barrios. 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.040 Just fun to see him out there, and Eric as 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.840 a comma. You know, Mike McDaniel put him in a 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.720 pretty good position on those end of rounds to make 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.960 a couple of plays. So those types of things on 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.720 offense really enjoyed devon a chain. Not a huge surprise 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:35.359 because we know how good he is, but that's another carryover. 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.200 And defensively, just continuing Travis at that cornerback spot with 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.480 Jalen Ramsey out. Cater Kohu didn't play in preseason game 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.760 Number one has impressed every when you impressed, I talked 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.520 to Vic Fangio. When you impress, Vic Fangio has been 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.960 in the league for thirty seven years, you know you're 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.320 doing something right. So that continued battle there in the 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:59.440 in the secondary as well, And I'm real curious when 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.720 you asked the question about from game one to game two, 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.599 Channing Tyndall, you know, he showed well, made some plays. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.720 Last year was kind of a development year for him. 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.400 I think when Chris Kuier picked him, they kind of 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.120 knew that. So I want to see how he comes 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:13.719 out and plays well. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.080 I think Marvin Allen mentioned that his pre draft press 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.520 conference that both as Zukomma and Channing tend to work 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.480 more of two year projections, And I just think it 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.080 was really good roster building in the sense if you 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:26.000 bring in a true and tested veteran in this offense 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.960 in the Trent Surefield, River Craik Craft, and you almost 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:29.440 kind of graduate to the next guys that could talk 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.840 about rocks and Barrios has experienced in this offense, and 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.720 obviously Eric Hazucama I think looks really really good out here, so. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:35.520 They have options there. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:35.760 Also. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.000 I love Barrios rocking the stitch handed on his forehead 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.360 right now and make him big plays. He had like 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.039 a sixty yard touchdowf he Scott Thompson on Wednesday, So kids, 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.520 he's making all kinds of plays out here. 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:44.880 You know. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.560 Coach McDaniel on Thursday at his press conference had some 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.800 interesting words about Tua and you know you mentioned the 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.000 red zone failures in the game on Friday. I thought 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.440 red zone work in practice was fantastic. It had all 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.920 kinds of touchdowns on the offensive side of the football. 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.320 But I thought it was interesting that he talked a 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.600 little bit about how, you know, the two interceptions to 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.360 it through. That kind of bookended what was a really 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.760 good practice for Tua and the idea of testing limits 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.240 and trying to maximize your thought process as far as 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.400 what you can and cannot get away with. And I'm 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.520 curious to hear how you kind of perceive that and 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.480 how you think a quarterback like to in his fourth 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.400 year might be able to compartmentalize that and actually, you know, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.680 take what he does out here negative and good and 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.240 put it into more positive on Sunday because obviously one 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.000 of the best quarterbacks in the league last year. If 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:26.320 he can take that and go to our level, this 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:27.479 team can really start flying. 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:28.440 Yeah. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.320 I think it's a great, great point, and it's a 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.000 great topic. And this is why when we see the 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.599 results in practice, you know, literally the play by play, 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.520 you don't really know watching what they're trying to accomplish. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.920 So you know, sometimes it's hard to look at and say, oh, 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.120 this didn't work. Yeah, but what you're trying to do 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.120 will You're trying to see if this works and then 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.159 if it doesn't, okay, let's scratch that. Let's put that 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.480 on the back burner. So I think there's a lot 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.960 of back that goes on in practice. So we can't 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.960 always play the result of the play during these practices. 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:02.480 You know, Look, you always want to have some things 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.920 you can work on, And from a coaching standpoint from 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.720 Mike McDaniel and Frank Smith, it kind of never wanted 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.720 to be perfect in preseason and in training camp because 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.600 then where do you go from there? But yeah, year two, 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.239 I just think it's a big difference this Mike McDaniel offense. 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.080 It's like a whole new language literally learning that. And 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.239 I remember talking to coach McDaniel last. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.040 Year before the preseason games. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.920 As those games went on, game one, game two, Game three, 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.240 and as training camp went on, I think Teddy Bridgewater 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:30.760 was a big help in this as well as being 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.440 a veteran guy. They were starting to get that language 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.720 down second nature. And now we know it's second nature 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.760 to to so now it can take it to the 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.720 next level. And I just think the sky's the women 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.840 on this offense. I'm guessing that, you know, Mike McDaniel's 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.200 putting some more things in in year number two, and 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.560 that's why there are so many details and there's so 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.080 much to learn, but hey, that's the only way you 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.600 can you continue to get better. I just think offensively overall, 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.080 led by the talent is tremendous at the skill positions. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.440 And I think Mike McDaniel's kind of, you know, maybe 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.920 a bad analogy, but a man scientist in a lab, 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:07.640 you know, and now you got eight chain, and now 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.840 you got chosen, how you got burrios. There's a few 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.640 more things that he can kind of cook up there 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:12.760 and make some plays fire up. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.200 To watch him have a chance to actually scheme up 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:15.640 a game, because it's just never quite the same with 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.400 him when you're just running plays. To run plays and 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.000 practice and try to make individual progress. As with the 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.400 team moving the football, a lot of that comes from scheme. 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:23.760 I think we saw some of that in the first 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:24.520 preseason game. 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.520 A lot of the things I talked about last year 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.240 was manufactured pockets, finding ways to get quarterbacks on the move, 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.840 slide your protection. You know, obviously Tron Arms has a 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.840 big part of that with his ability to lock down 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.439 all the best pass which was in the NFL you 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:36.080 can slide. 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.520 Everybody else and find clean pockets that way. But the 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.760 red zone area last week was the big concern. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.000 Right it's a nineteen to three's final score because you're 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.640 zero for three in the red zone, Whereas if they 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.559 punch those in they probably win the game going away, 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.560 and at least put it away pretty early on. But 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.679 we saw the running game get going until they got 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.480 down on the red zone. Curious to get your thoughts 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.280 on the Dolphins running game here so far, because you 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.319 know it's tough to gauge in training camp, but I 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.960 don't know what's the style in this since two thousand 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.320 and sixteen or something, they had the most rushing yards 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.880 and a half in that game in a preseason game. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:07.880 I'm curious your take on the running game so far 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.160 and how you think, you know, a second year, a 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.280 new language, all that stuff can expand this year and 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.000 become even better because if the running game gets going, 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.160 we saw the passing game last year. If the running 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.079 game can get you know, ten places higher than the 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:18.600 league rank, I don't. 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.160 Know how you stop this offense, I think still incomplete 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.319 because we're not really seeing Raheem and Jeff Wilson out 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.160 there together. And Mike McDaniels even made the comment he's 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:31.680 very cognizant of when we're allowed to watch practice, when 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:36.040 we're not allowed to watch practice, what he's showing. So 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.040 I think that I just think, Travis, there's probably a 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.400 lot more tricks in that book that Mike McDaniel isn't 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.720 busting out. You know, it was very interesting to me 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.920 last year out of those exit meetings that Mike McDaniel 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:54.679 actually pseudo not literally but apologized to Raheem Moster for saying. 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.400 We didn't run the ball enough. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.600 Now defending Mike McDaniel, if I've got two a Jalen 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:05.120 and Tyreek, you know, hey, why call the running play? 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:06.679 Let's throw a deep man. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.760 These guys are the best in football probably, you know, 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.800 as a trio. Is there anybody better? I'm real optimistic 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.280 for this running game. In year number two, toront Armstead 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.000 made the comment just how many details there are in 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.800 that and now in year number two and the first 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.160 of the joint practices here in Houston on Wednesday, that 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.120 he felt comfortable maybe for one of the first times 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.760 in training camp, like everything was clicking. So you know, 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.040 once they get turn out there and they get that 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.120 left guard spot settled, I really think the sky's the 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.800 limit for this thing in year number two and interchanging 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.160 Moster Wilson. And the other real intriguing thing is how's 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.240 he gonna use hmon h chain. I don't think anybody 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.920 knows yet. I'm not sure he completely knows yet. He 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.360 was split out quite a bit in the game against 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.040 Atlanta the first preseason game, but they also put him 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.680 between tackles a little bit. I mean, he made one 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.439 of those catches down near the goal line, he got 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.920 walloped on it. So I'm really curious. I don't think 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:01.880 to see it all, is my point, Travis. The next 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.679 couple weeks, I'm curious September tenth in LA to see 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:06.719 what that running game looks like. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.600 That that a chain flex dow throw where they just 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.559 basically threw a now route to him, stand up for 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.080 the ball to him, and he had space on the 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.320 sideline and he beat everybody to the corner. I don't 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:15.880 know how you defend that when you have a change 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.319 speed on one side, and Tyreek and Jon on the 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.480 other side, like there are stress and speed at every 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.000 single level of defense when you offer that, and you know, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.400 you talk about Mike McDaniel's offense and he's he's alluded 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.200 to it about you know, what do you show out 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.000 here in a practice compared to when it's closed and 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:29.800 no media, no fans out there. 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.959 And you know, he alluded to the fact that your offense. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.280 People will know your offense, but you're not going to 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.080 be a good offense unless you have counters to what 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.000 they are able to do. 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.120 And so I'm so fascinated. 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.079 To see number one what year two does to get 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.480 him into the back pages of that playbook, but also 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:45.920 how they counter some of the things the teams were 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.240 able to do successfully against them as a defense last year. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.840 That Chargers game comes to mind, that inside leverage, press 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:51.920 two man coverage they ran. 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:53.680 I just I know that Mike. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.480 I've had to eat him all offseason to come in 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.320 here and format a game plan to accelicans that look 0:11:59.440 --> 0:11:59.640 like that. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:01.400 So I'm curiously how that works. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:02.360 But I want to flip it over to the other 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.640 side of the football here in the defense, because you. 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.360 Know, from my advantage point, I continue to see. 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.920 You know, last year was a year of deep balls 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.520 all training camp, right, we saw Tyreek getting deep, Jalen 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:13.560 getting deep, you. 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.000 Know, Trent Surefield getting down the field. 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:16.600 But all the guys are getting their deep targets and 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:17.960 it hasn't really happened that way this year. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:18.800 We've gotten a few of them. 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.280 But I credit that personally, and I fo you know 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.600 Texan struggle in their deep passing game on Wednesday. I 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.679 attribute that to the secondary just kind of having an 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.360 understanding of the rules of their coverages and not really 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.520 you know, busting down with the concept of every coverage 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.760 call you mentioned. Talking to Vic Fangio, I love, like 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:37.679 you mentioned, if he loves the player, I'll tell you 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.000 if he thinks they've played to do some work, I'll 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.120 tell you that too. But from my perspective, I see 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.400 this defense coming together and kind of hitting those rules 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:45.040 early here and year. 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.400 What with Wick Fangio, Well, first day, it flashes me 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.440 back last year Travis Jason Taylor was on the preseason 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.240 broadcast with me, and when I think one day that 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.240 too through a few interceptions and Jason just kind of says, uh, 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.520 you know, I got a question why there isn't always 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.520 a bad day when the quarterback throws an interception. No, 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.959 the defense is out there to try to play, yeah, exactly, 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.800 so we always think about that. You know, Fangio is 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.679 putting in this defense pretty complex. I think he's got 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.800 more weapons this year. You've seen, you know, when Christian 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:19.040 Wilkins's practiced. He's been dominant during this training camp, and 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.080 I just think overall there's more depth probably on the 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:22.600 defense now. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:23.560 He's still looking for guys. 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:27.640 I mean, he's made that very clear, but you know, 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.360 the defense does seem to be you know, digging in 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.520 kind of understanding, you know, and the impact players understand 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.520 the defense. Now you got Bradley Chubb in a training 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.079 camp here for the first time. He was a mid 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.840 season pick up. Me and Jalen Phillips on either side. 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.400 So I agree that there's no official way to know 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.360 during these practices, but that d line many days and 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.000 it goes back and forth these The offense obviously produced 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.320 as well, but there's been quite a few days that's 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.480 been noticeable where the D line gets that push and 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.440 you know, if you want to count sacks, there's eight 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.360 or there's ten of them in a day, and that 0:13:58.400 --> 0:13:59.320 may be part of the reason. 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.040 Yeah, I from west On game tape lasher to practiceition, 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:04.439 looks like this is maybe more of a fit for 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.280 him defensive, but just think he's making all kinds of 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:06.920 plays out there. 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.040 And you mentioned Jalen Phillips. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.400 Do you have a chance to see what Lewis Ridicks 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.439 haid about Jayleen Phillips, the ESPN analyst. He was talking 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.880 about how this guy can play strong safety if he 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:16.520 had to, basically alluded to the fact that he's one 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.840 of the best athletes in the entire league and we've 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.960 seen that all camp long. And McDaniel on Thursday morning 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.120 had a chance to talk about Jalen because he was 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.240 asked by a reporter about what he's done in camp 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.360 so far, and you could just kind of see McDaniel like, Yeah, 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:27.920 he's kind of. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:28.400 Got the goods. 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.000 So I think those two guys are going to have 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.160 a mass impact in this defense and just really take 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:33.760 it to the next level. We've got a few minutes 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.040 left here on the show here, Goldie, want to just 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.080 go ahead and get your take on the game on 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.880 Saturday night. We kind of joked about this before McDaniel's 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:41.800 presser on Thursday. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.040 I think I gave you some some fun. 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.240 About the Cheetah call last year. Have you got any 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.200 calls saved up from the chamber you're ready to break out? 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:49.440 As it kind of a spur of the moment there. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.120 It is usually spur of the moment. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.440 You know that play last year, you know, is home 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.000 game and all of a sudden, I'm seeing Tyreek going 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.480 down the middle of the field and he had two 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.640 steps and I see two is about to loading up, Like, 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.000 oh boy, this is this is what everybody's been waiting for, 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.560 you know. So no, I don't have anything specific. We'll 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.560 see who ends up playing in the game. But hey, 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.240 anytime Tyreek makes a play, I mean, and he's looked, 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.040 you know, dominant out here going up against another competition, 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.760 he raises his level. But no, it's gonna have to 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.960 be spurred the moment, Travis, And I never know what 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.120 pops into this wild brain of mine, and when it 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.000 pops into my brain, how it gets to my mouth 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.800 and get gets out on the microphone. That's a big 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.440 TVD for me, to be honest with you, I. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:31.880 Think it makes it. Living in the moment is the 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:32.480 best way to do it. 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:33.880 I mean, we talked about calls at the there and 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:35.760 the other night, you know about how Joe Buck was so 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:37.920 good about the Stefan Dick's Miracle of Minneapolis. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:38.120 Call. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.440 I'm telling you, man, the Cheetah is Luther and South Florida. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.160 You can set a high bar. I don't know if 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.080 you can top that. Man, that's pretty good. 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:45.440 You know. I appreciate that very much. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.480 And hey, when you got great, great players and exciting stuff, 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.000 it really makes the job a lot more fun for sure. 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.800 Yeah. Top six offense last ye, hope we get more 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.040 of that this season. Goldie pregame show, CBS Broadcast. Tell 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:57.240 the folks for us that can find you.
