And on today's show, it is the sixth 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:25.200 day of camp practice Tomorrow we have off to be 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.639 back at it again on Thursday, and also the first 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.680 day of games Browns and Jets. The Hall of Fame Game. 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:32.920 Got a lot of good work in on this Tuesday, 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.760 both in the indoor and outdoor practice fields as the 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.080 weather pushed us inside at the very end, although it 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:39.880 was also kind of nice to have that weather because 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.840 it was cooler out and we had a good breeze 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.080 all day. We also had a nineteen twenty seven Yankees 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.680 lineup of heavy hairs for media to a tea Steed, 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.159 Jalen Phillips, Emanuel Ogbad Deshaun Elliott. We'll break down a 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.080 sharp day from the offense, visit Chris Career's serious radio interview, 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.040 and much much more from the Baptist Health Studios inside 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.720 the Baptist Health Training Complex this soon is the Drive 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:02.600 Time Podcast. 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:03.680 Maggie Geff. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.399 Lots and lots of first downs to be had at 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.080 today's practice. But before we get started on that practice, 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:11.640 I'm not sure if you guys had a chance to 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.640 hear Chris Career on Serious XM NFL show the other day, 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.240 but I wanted to league with this because, as you 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:23.280 daily diehards of Drive Time know, of the three, four, 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.080 maybe nine themes that I've been on about all summer long, 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.240 one of my favorites is the type of roster they're 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.880 building down here in terms of character, and obviously it's 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.000 a loaded roster that feels like it can really make 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.960 some noise this year. We hear from pretty much anybody 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.280 and everybody who does, you know, summer projections and predictions 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.000 of how each roster stacks up. They all feel as 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.520 if as though this roster is going to make quite 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.040 a run this year. But one element that you can 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.800 never gauge on paper, and I think is probably the 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:58.280 most overlooked aspect in any sport, you know, professionally or 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.720 otherwise across the country, is the chemistry and how a 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:06.600 team works together and how they can overcome adversity together 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.200 and obviously that was a big part of the twenty 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.800 twenty three or twenty twenty two season rather but in 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.320 this interview, Greer talked about reaching out to Tyreek about 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.000 the Eli Apple audition and how roster building is not 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.880 you know, like Madden. That's my words, not his, and 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.880 how the chemistry of the roster is considered with each 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.800 move like with Eli Apple. And I'm talking to Kyle 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.480 Krabs of Lockdown Dolphins up in the stands ahead of 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.200 practice about this and how each position group has a 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.560 buddy buddy type of relationship among it. And I'm sure 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.200 it goes, you know, further than that, but just based 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.640 off what we know, I mean, it sounds like Jerome 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.160 Baker and David Long, based upon Monday's media, have hit 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.640 it off right away. We know about Zach and Christian. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.239 We saw Ex and Javon at the Pro Bowl a 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.040 couple of years ago, Brandon and Deshaun Elliott back in 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.120 that secondary having their Texas ties together. Raheem Moster and 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.040 Jeff Wilson, our buddies, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddell or 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.640 you know, comes super close. Bradley Chubb and Jaylen Phillips 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.440 work out before practice every single day to on alec Ingold, 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.520 like pretty much every group you look at has that 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.360 bond on this team. And the response of Tyreek, according 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.639 to Chris Greer about the Eli Apple acquisition, said that's 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.639 my dog. Let's go, yeah, go get him. So that's 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.760 great to see. And obviously Tyreek is a smart guy 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.640 when it comes to social and branding and all that, 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.040 because you know, his playful tweet after the acquisition happened 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.320 was let's go or can't wait for practice tomorrow morning, 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.560 Like he knows what he's doing. But it's all about 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.800 keeping this brotherhood together inside this building, and we all 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:33.639 want to see the same thing and those guys want 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.320 to see the same thing as well. And with that, 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.720 I really enjoyed this practice to day. Let's go position 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.480 by a position and start with the group that I 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.200 thought had the best day. It was either them or 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.920 the edges, but the cubes, the quarterbacks. Let's start with 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.720 this twa tongue Bai Looa touched on his off season training. 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:49.760 I thought pretty in depth for the first time about 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.920 how he got stronger and he looks a lot bigger 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.920 this year. Guys two twenty seven on the roster here's 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.119 QB one on his off season training. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.800 Just a lot of heavier weights, a lot more reps 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:04.760 with the heavier weights, things like that. But everything that 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.880 I did this offseason entailed to what would keep me 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.840 on the field for the entirety of a season. We 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.480 understand that, you know, freaky things can happen. You know, 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.800 it's football. It's a physical sport. Not everything that you 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.840 prepare for is what you're going to get. So I 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.960 did the best that I could that, you know, to 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.760 get myself ready and prep for this season. As far 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:27.520 as injuries go. 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.200 I don't know how you can be anything but encouraged 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.240 by that. It sounds like too was really kind of 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.640 take an ownership of his professionalism and you know, his 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.919 body and everything that goes into this performance. And I 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.400 thought one of the things that stood out the most 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.440 about his performance on Tuesday is something I've always been 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.160 a fan of in his game. And I try to 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:45.720 describe this the best way I can, because I don't 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:50.120 think it's necessarily something you can describe unless you kind 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.080 of know how to do it. In a way. It's 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.960 the elasticity in his arm. I think it's the framework 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.840 of what makes him the player that he is, because 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.720 it's part of a lot of the key elements of 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.440 his game, the accelerated release that just not many other 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.039 quarterbacks have in their game. It's how he's able to 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.599 throw accurately from all those different arm angles without the 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.400 ability to step into a throw and still be able 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.760 to put the ball in an accurate spot without losing 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.080 you know, your ball placement, whatever it might be. He 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.560 has this uncanny knack for putting the football right on 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.680 the mark really from any position. And I thought I 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.840 was interesting to hear him talk today about jiu jitsu 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.040 training and how he's still working at it in terms 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.560 of committing to muscle memory, because like Malcolm Gladwell right 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.400 when ten thousand hours well, it got me thinking about 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.400 Tua's life in football, and of course, you know on 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.200 the podcast here we have to relate it back to 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.440 baseball and in my own baseball experience, and I was 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.719 telling Kyle once again, I think it makes so much 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.000 sense for quarterbacks to play middle infield because of the 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.359 different you know, arm angles you get from throwing the 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.719 ball across the diamond, the different you know setups you 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.520 have in your feet, whether it's going to the backhand 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.000 and going to the forehand, and there's just different you know, 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.000 working around the second base in terms of double plays, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:53.960 like you find you have to find different ways to 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.560 put the ball in the same location, but it's coming 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.280 out of your arm, or you're off your hand at 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.839 a different arm go from a different you know, footwork position. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.279 It just kind of trains that muscle memory into a 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.400 certain way. And when I was a kid, I spent 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.800 every single day in my backyard and we had one 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.640 of those nets where the upper net you throw it 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.000 to the high part of net and it gives you 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.760 a ground ball, and you throw at the bottom part 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.400 of the net. It's elevated in a way that gives 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.839 you back a fly ball. And I did that. You know, 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.400 I didn't have We didn't have you know, we didn't 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.200 have internet back in my day. You know, it wasn't 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.640 on my cell phone the entire time. So I'd go 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.720 play baseball in my backyard. And to this day, if 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.760 you give me a baseball, I can whip that thing 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.440 pretty damn good from any arm angle you want, pretty accurately. 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.360 We have a little signed Jarvis Landry football that they 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.320 brought over from the stadium that was, I guess, hanging 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.560 around out there in the cubicles and we take a 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.640 ten minute break sometimes me and a couple of guys 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.839 from the production staff, and we throw the football around him. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:43.760 I can zing that thing, man, and it goes back 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.880 to when I'm eight years old, basically. So the reason 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:47.640 I'm telling you this is because, you know, to was 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.840 documentary that came out during his rookie year, talked about 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.520 those days on the beach throwing the football with his dad, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.760 and you commit that muscle memory by doing it every 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.839 day over and over again from a young age. And 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.800 I just thought it was kind of a cool full 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.920 circle moment from that concept and that thought to today 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.880 watching him because he threw a few passes and he's 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.400 done this in camp in general, where his mechanics and stride, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.960 you know, can be down the middle and he's trying 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.320 to shoot a deep crosser, a deep over or you know, 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.280 comeback to the opposite side of the field or whatever 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.040 it might be. He whips that thing out to the 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.360 perimeter without being aligned to that throw right on the money, 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.920 and it's like clockwork. He does it over and over 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.680 and over again, and it also helps hold the defense, 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.240 which I think can mitigate some of the velocity that 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:31.880 you maybe don't have from some of the top of 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.840 the line guys in terms of the arm strength, but 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:35.560 you find ways to make up for that. I think 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.440 he does it in this way. It's like clockwork. It's accurate, 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.800 it's on time every single time. And I thought Tua 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.760 probably had his best day on Tuesday, And really there 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.120 was only one day that I didn't think it wasn't superb, 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.600 and that was the day of many sacks, which you'll 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.800 hear more about what that actually means here in a minute. 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.360 But I thought that he has solutions to the different 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.480 looks that Vic and the defense gave him. I thought 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.600 he replaced the blitz with the football time and time 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.720 again in this practice. I thought he was just sharp 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.760 processing things pre and post snap and at tracked because 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.480 this defense will challenge you and have answers to get 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.520 to them quickly versus a variety of looks. Right, let's 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.880 let's actually go to and now and talk to him 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.240 about practicing against this scheme and how coach Fangio's defense 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.280 is helping him get better as a quarterback. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:23.080 Very tough, it's very tough. It's hard to distinguish what's 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:27.400 gonna happen pre snap and post snap. I think Vic 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.920 does a good job with his defense and aligning guys 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.719 where they need to align and making everything look the 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:37.600 same for both run action pass action. And I think 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.920 what I see a lot more this time this year 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.800 with the defense is there's a lot of communication. So 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.320 I know everyone sees the camera that we have on 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.240 our head when you watch, when we watch it, you know, 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.640 we get to see when we're motioning guys. There's a 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.760 lot of communication going on in the back end and 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.840 up front. It's a lot more than what I've seen 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:58.040 the past couple of years. 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.360 Let's keep it rolling here with this from QB and 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.360 I love, love, love, love this again because anytime I 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.920 can verify what I'm saying on the podcast with coach 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.360 or with TUA or you know somebody that confirms what 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.200 I'm talking about, well that's a good day for your boy. 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.760 Validation's nice. Here's two on how they view practice, the 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.560 process of growth and getting ready for the season. Because 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.240 I know you're gonna read a lot of reports about 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.439 the results of practice, that's not what it's about. 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.000 I would say the way we look at it is 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:29.040 not result based. It's it's basically letting everyone finish with 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.680 whatever technique they got, so regardless of the phil as 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.719 a sack, you know, our defense gives us the opportunity 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.240 to continue to read it out to extend plays, and 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.200 it also gives the guys in the back end an 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.280 opportunity to continue to you know, play within a broken 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.280 down play or if you know, quarterback escapes the pocket, 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.640 you know they're going to have to move around and 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.280 maneuver how they're going to cover guys. So I wouldn't 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:59.400 say it's necessarily result based, although there are things that 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:04.040 we have got corrected, you know, in every area, whether 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.400 it's a blocking scheme, a route, how the guys are 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.360 running the routes, how we're looking at reading certain routes, 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.080 our progressions in the place, and where the checkdowns are 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.040 all of that, And I think it's really good when 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:18.760 we're able to look at it like that and not 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.080 oh I got sacked, like next play. 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.720 I think that can be very instructive for how you 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.319 might come out here and view a practice if you 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.319 do come out to the Baptist Health Training Complex. I've 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.959 also talked about the response to the response that we 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.400 saw late in the year last year for this offense 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.160 pretty much doing whatever it wanted to the first ten 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.360 or so weeks of the season and then that lull 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.360 against the two teams out in California which was picked 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.679 right back up right. The Buffalo game was highly proficient 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.560 for the offense. The Green Bay game too until that 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.640 fourth quarter. Really, but we talk about, you know, options 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.560 in the screen game. We talk about the short, quick 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.800 stuff to the perimeter, to your speed guys, you know 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.800 Jalen or Tyreek on a hitch or a speed out 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.440 or really anybody. We talked about the wrinkle off of 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.120 that with the wheels and pushing this you know, second 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.720 level to fill that area with speedsters after lifting the 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.320 top off the defense with the original speedsters. And I 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.160 thought today was really the first time we saw the 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.319 offense kind of go with solutions to the defense opposed 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.400 to just rolling through a scripted series of plays that 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.880 was not really cognizant of what the defense is doing, 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.959 you know, almost not game planning, but having more of 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.720 a feel for what you're looking at. And we saw 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.840 it come together in a big way. Tua had a 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.599 bunch of dimes down the field, and I love the 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.960 way he throws the ball vertically from the short side 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.600 of the field, you know, the boundary to the perimeter, 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.880 and then when you're throwing field balls, you know the 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.000 wide side of the field. Put those balls in the 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.040 far hash on the numbers on that side, and we 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:37.600 saw a good chunk of that today in some big 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.520 completions to alec Ingold, to Jalen Waddle and the like 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.560 the last thing here on Tua. I thought he threw 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.640 the ball on the move, very very well. Thought he 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.400 did a good job of feeling the pocket and just 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.480 hitching up when he had to, you know, getting out 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.120 either direction when he had to go left or right, 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.200 or even just when he's taking steps or you know, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.719 footwork is part of his part of his work, and 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.120 a play pass and the path he takes on play 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.679 action and how he gets into a throwing motion off 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.520 of that, really really good day from number one all around. 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.240 I also thought it was the best day of camp 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.240 so far for Mike White, especially when we moved to 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.480 the endoor facility. There was a throw he made where 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.640 I was making my way across the practice field up 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.960 to the platform where we watch practice with the media, 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:15.680 and he threw a ball over the middle of the 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.720 field into a window. And when you're down there and 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.800 you see how fast it all moves and how much 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.680 color and trash is just flashing in your eyes. You know, 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:24.920 from my advantage point much less the quarterback who's in 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.480 the midst of all of it. Legit a new appreciation 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.680 for just how damn hard the job is. Like I 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.360 got it before, but now I think I get it 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.080 even more because Mike White was so quick with processing 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:35.800 and you have to just really kind of know what 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.760 you're doing to put the ball in certain locations against 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.120 all the speed and NFL defense has I thought he 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.640 was super quick with the processor. I'd say things have 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.640 kind of slowed down for him now in the second 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.920 you know, three practice chunk here, you know practice four, five, 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.080 and six compared to one, two and three, because he 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.800 was in a groove putting the football in the right 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.920 places at the right time. To me, there's a pretty 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.240 clear gap between you know, one and two, yeah, but 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.319 two and three for sure. How all the quarterbacks today 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.880 put receivers in positions to make plays, you know, identify 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.120 the blitz, get the ball to the hot and suddenly 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.400 you've got Waddle or Tyreek or Azukam or whoever in 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.680 a one on one opportunity with a cornerback and if 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.839 they slipped that tackle, it goes from a six yard 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.280 game to maybe twenty. And if it's Jalen Wattle, maybe 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.640 eighty six yards out the gate. I think that's a 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.000 good spot for our first break right there. But real quick, 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.160 before that, let's just talk about some standouts and one 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.200 on ones because yeah, I don't know, it's it's worth 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.079 talking about, but not worth breaking down too much. I 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.480 don't think. I thought. Cater continues to show you what 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.160 he can do best. He's a sensational rep in this 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.360 period against Chosen where he pinned him to the sideline 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.640 on a takeoff route and just gave Mike White no 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.640 window to work with. Tyreek got X where he stacked 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.000 him and broke it right off to the inside, and 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.920 two will put the ball right on the upfield shore 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.600 for an easy catch and run for touchdown. By the way, 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.800 X never gets in the notes in camp because he 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.080 just never gets tested, Like they don't go after him. 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.720 One on ones isn't really a fair fight. I was hoping, 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.240 you know, Ramsey would force some more balls over to X, 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.200 but he's just ever in the team notes. That's a 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.800 good thing. Craik Craft had the best catch of the period, 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.640 catch catch with a back shoulder adjustment from Skylar Thompson. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.760 Javon Holland had a really good recovery on Brax and 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.400 Burrios who got on top of him on a ball 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.640 from two, but it was slightly underthrown. I peeked over 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.760 at the running backs and tight ends versus linebackers in 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.240 safeties for a moment and saw Elijah Campbell get two 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.080 pass breakups. Bryce Thompson as well. He's quietly had a 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.280 very nice camp. And then finally I watched a lot 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.000 of the O line versus D line for the second 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.320 straight day, and I thought Liam was very good once again, 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.360 kind of putting together a good run here after a 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.480 rough Friday practice. I thought Isaiah Winn and Kendall Lamb 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.840 were very good, and I thought Lamb was exceptional as 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.040 a whole today. More on that after the break as 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.760 we continue the practice notes and hear from more of 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.920 the guys. Next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:45.240 brought to you by Auto Nation. Let's go ahead and 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.680 talk some O line and start with Tron Armstead, who's 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.480 back out at practice getting some work in. No team 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.200 drills yet, but he has a plan in place to 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.080 get out there on the field and get ready for 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.120 that week one game. Let's go ahead and talk to 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.800 Toron Armstad here about the plan to get him back 0:14:58.800 --> 0:14:59.240 on the field. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.560 Yeah, they got they got a plan for me, program 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.280 for me. Just trying to stick with it and we're progressing, 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.760 kind of going through a little bit of a slow 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.920 progression in my opinion, but I'm not arguing or combatant. 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:13.240 You know. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.320 I'm here to play, so I'd love to get out 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.920 there and compete. Also, a year eleven and I've been 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.600 through ten training camps before, so it's a little bit 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:21.160 of a balance. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.440 Let's go right back to Tea Steed here, who talked 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.320 about getting to the stage in your career and how 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.200 you're still adding to your tool belt. I wanted to 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.160 ask him this question because he does so much to 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.040 teach younger players and really take part and just you know, 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.280 I suppose grooming the next generation of offensive linemen and 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.560 getting guys to his level and the way he teaches, 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.720 and we'll hear about that here. More from I think 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.800 Emmanuel Ogbat who talks about the way he teaches other 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.760 guys in the offensive line room. But here's to Ron 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.360 Armston and how he takes the off season to learn 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:47.600 even more about his own game. 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.120 No, for sure, for sure, I think that's why I've 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.200 been able to do it for a long time is 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:58.280 continue to evolve and add tools to my toolbox. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:15:59.880 I learned. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.120 I learned things from first year, second year players just 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.600 just just by watching, just by watching it. Think of 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.760 the cool thing about old line plays, Like we've got 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.680 all the answers on film, you know, so you can 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.600 go back and see, all right, what did guys do 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.760 to combat this move or combat this stunt or you 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.400 know what I mean. So you've got the answers on film, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:21.640 so you go back and watch it and you try 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.920 to go execute. So try to add more tools to 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:24.520 the toolbox. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.800 I'll actually go ahead and use one more SoundBite here 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.520 from Tea Stead to help us get a better feel 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.560 for Butch Berry, new Dolphins offensive line coach, and the 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:36.000 coaching points up front. And we've now, you know, we've 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.560 known this going back to last year with Mike McDaniel 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:40.960 coming over from San Francisco, how they want to fire 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.960 off the football and play fast that way. I think 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:44.560 we saw a lot of that today. Let's go ahead 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.640 and allow to Ron Armstead to explain for. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:52.040 Us speak velocity off the ball, controlling the line of scrimmage. 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.840 We want to we want to dominate and dictate that 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.800 that that line of scrimmage as much as much as possible, 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.640 we do that. We knock people off the ball the 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.080 yard or two. We got a great chance to win 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:05.720 a lot of games. 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.119 I thought the best run play of the day was 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.240 a block well executed by Rob Jones and Jeron Christian 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.200 and then a really good seal block from River Craikcraft 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.040 to spring Chris Books on a ninety five yard touchdown run. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.000
