1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: Hey, Cam, what number cup of coffee is that today? 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: It's only number three? So far number three? What are 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: you gonna end up at? I usually end up about 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: six or seven and then I got about three pepsis 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: after that or something. So there you go last the day, 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: all right, They'll get you through. Um. So I wanted 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: to tap ask you about the Dolphins. It looks like 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: their kickoff coverage and their punt coverage makes it awfully 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: tough to gain positive yardage. What do you see from 10 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: the challenge they present you in that area? Yeah, They've 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: they've got a lot of good players on both of 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: them phases of that. You know, they've good established a 13 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: good core guys. They've got several guys that are playing 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: multiple phases for him. So they've got a really a 15 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: good established core. Anytime you have a good core like 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: they do, you know, those guys play fast, they play 17 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: well off one another. So yeah, it's not just one guy. 18 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: And that's what the it goes to them while they're 19 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: so good, is it's not just one guy you have 20 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: to account for. It's multiple guys. You know, if you 21 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: take away this guy, then they have another guy that's 22 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: gonna make a play. So again that's the challenge we 23 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: have this week with them is trying to figure out 24 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: what's the best scheme and philosophy to attack them, knowing 25 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: they have so many good players and so many specific 26 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: players that they use in their core. Kim, yesterday we 27 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: were talking with Jake Bailey and I had asked him 28 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: about if he had ever like who is his punter, 29 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: you know that he looked at coming up the ranks 30 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: and he said Thomas Morristead And he just talked about 31 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: the way more Stead his technique sort of linear and 32 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: he likes to have sort of a similar technique. Have 33 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: you ever sort of noted that comparison and how would 34 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: you sort of describe Jake's technique in that area? Yeah, 35 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: they're similar, you know, quick hands, quote operations. You know, 36 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: that's one thing. You know, you look at, you know, 37 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: different players throughout the league and is you know, who 38 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: do you compare to? So we always try to do 39 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: some comparisons and you know with our guys and different 40 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: players in terms of you know, you know, what do 41 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: they do well? What is something we can take from them? 42 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: So the one thing with Jake is you know, all 43 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: his see the path he's walking and He's done a 44 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: really good job with his drop and his drops, his 45 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: own drop angle of the football, you know, drop plane. 46 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: That's one thing he does do is stay square leaningar 47 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: like you're talking about, and he was mentioning is where 48 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: he's walking, is where he wants to go. But he 49 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: does a good job of hiding the direction he's doing 50 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: by setting right behind the snapper, so you know, not 51 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: giving it away or anything like that. But both those 52 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: guys do a great job of setting the ball, you know, 53 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: anytime they were looking to punt, and that goes to 54 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: good hands. You have to have good hands as a punter, 55 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, because when you catch the ball, then you 56 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: got to spin it and find the laces and make 57 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: sure you're hitting the side part and you're not actually 58 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: spending and hitting the laces right there. So a lot 59 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: goes into that handout coordination with catching the ball, spinning 60 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: and setting your drop table right there. And that's where 61 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: you see a lot of similarities in those two guys. 62 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: Thank you, Kim. I had one one last one and 63 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: it just sort of goes back to one of the 64 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: last punts in the game where you had a little 65 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: bit of a different alignment on that with Dante sort of, 66 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: I guess I described him as almost um level with 67 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: the punter, but split out wide, right like That's how 68 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: I described it. Probably not the right way, but without 69 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: giving away too much strategy, you know, when you're shaking 70 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: up the way you are align in protection, what's the 71 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: thought process on shaking things up in a situation like 72 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: that or you know, you know, Scrammacla, you can't have 73 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: more than two guys that go down the field on 74 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: the staff. You know, from a punt perspective, you know, 75 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: when the balls punt it, you know you really got 76 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: to be that give you that grace period. But what 77 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: they say within one maybe two yards of line of 78 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: scrimmage when the balls punt it. So that's why you 79 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: see where he's lined up, so he can actually build 80 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: his momentum and build his speed down the field, which 81 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: obviously now you know, anytime you're covering a guy, it's 82 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: almost like covering a receiver like on a post route 83 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: that's already built a speed and you can get a 84 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: chance to slow him down off line of scrimmage. So 85 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: it's just a little bit more of a dread difficulty 86 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: for those guys to cover them, you know, when they 87 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: line up on him. Now there's a lot of space 88 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: he has the ability to avoid. It almost makes it 89 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: more like a kickoff, you know, to him when he's 90 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: covering a kick there, and then I just present it's 91 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: another position where we're built the speed. Now we're getting 92 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: another guy down there running down on a single block, 93 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, out in space. So that's kind of the 94 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 1: philosophy is how the more times we can get guys 95 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: running on single blocks and punt coverage, the better we're 96 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: gonna be. Next time we're gonna bomb. So see then, 97 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: Phil Perry, Hey, good, good morning camp. More about how 98 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: we're doing. I'm doing well. Thank you. You talked about 99 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: the core for the Dolphins and having a good core. 100 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm curious as well about coordinator Danny Crossman and kind 101 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: of the field that you have for him and his unit. 102 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: It seems like they're a pretty aggressive unit, whether it's 103 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: fake plays or getting after kicks. They've gotten some big 104 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: plays in both respects. How would you define kind of 105 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: the personality of their special team's unit under his direction 106 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: and his approach. Yeah, Danny has done a good job 107 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: with him. You know, Dany has been doing an all time, 108 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: you know, whether he's in Buffalo and he's in Miami. 109 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: But they've always been an aggressive mindset. You've seen that 110 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: really come out and always played very good, sound, technical, 111 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: fundamental football for him. You know, he he's done a 112 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: really good job with those units. And that's what you see. 113 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: You see the personality of being the aggressive mentality come 114 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: out in him. And that's why you see so many 115 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: different gimmicks and formations that they're working, and you know, 116 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: things you have to adjust and be ready for on 117 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: a weekly basis. You know, just presents another challenge for 118 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: you that you know, you guys get to go out 119 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: and handle. And you know, we've obviously seen one of 120 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: those already a couple of years ago. So again, this 121 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: is something we have to go out each week, prepare 122 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: for and be ready for. And with Jachim Grant, you 123 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: guys faced dangerous returners on a weekend, week out basis 124 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:43,239 Speaker 1: in the NFL. What makes him so effective as return man? 125 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: I imagine again it's more than sheer speed. Yeah, No, 126 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: he does a really good job. He sees he's got 127 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 1: really good vision. You know, anytime you're talking about a returner, 128 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: you know they have to be able to see the 129 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: whole field. You know, they have to see that guy coming, 130 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: have to read their blocks, press and cutting. He does 131 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: a really good job cutting off the blocks. Acceleration. You know, 132 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: he's got that elusive ability not just top end speed, 133 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: but he can start and stop, you know on adopted 134 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: drop drop him a dime, Sorry about that. And then 135 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: you know that's the thing that makes him so good 136 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: is you know, as a guy's coming in, he feels 137 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: that he can stop changing direction. You know, he does 138 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: a good job. Everybody's at the point of attack with 139 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: this guy. You know, for us in coverage, because he 140 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: does have any chance to go anywhere with his vision. 141 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: That's what leads to a quality returner is you may 142 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: not see something, but he season. He's able to put 143 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: his foot in the ground and get vertical. Great, thank you, 144 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: kem him excited. The last question, I'm going to Phil 145 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: Perry take him. I was curious about grants as well, 146 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: and I'm wondering that, you know, I know there's there's 147 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: some element of chaos and the kicking game, and when 148 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: you're trying to track down a returner and get him 149 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: to the grounds. Is his height a factor at all? 150 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: Is he a harder guy? To find because of his stature. 151 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: Does that present a challenge for you guys or is 152 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: that not? Really? That's more of a factor. And on 153 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: the kickoff coverag because you get more of the bodies 154 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: in there, and you know where do you avoid. You 155 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: don't want to avoid too far because maybe you don't 156 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: know if you have you got the correct path. You know, 157 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: as far as the pump places a little bit more 158 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: spread out, so there's not as bigger factor. There's a 159 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 1: lot more space right there. Again, depending on which return 160 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: you're getting, you know, there may be more space if 161 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: there it's a field return or if it's a boundary 162 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: return where they're just catching it and getting vertical, it's 163 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: gonna be less space. Everything's gonna be more candidn because 164 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna have more bodies you know, right there. So 165 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: it does become a factor at times, you know with 166 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: height now, like finding a guy, it all depends on 167 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: the space. At the grand scheme of things is you 168 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: know how much space between you and the blocker is there. 169 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: If there's a lot of space when the blocker is 170 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: not gonna be an issue. It's when they get behind 171 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: the blockers like a running back pressing the line, you know, 172 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: and he's really hiding behind the offensive line right there 173 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: and the linebackers trying to find all right, go, I 174 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: stay on this angle and I don't want to overpursue 175 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: a block knowing the running back can cut off of it. 176 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: So it's very similar in that aspect of the old 177 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: line to running back to linebacker comparison. When you're talking 178 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: about it on the kickoff return punt return punt, you know, 179 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: it's a little bit more spread out. It's not really 180 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: as big as a factor. And um, does he have 181 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: to do one thing that we've heard before when the 182 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: Patriots have played really fast guys. Um, like you know 183 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill for instance. You know heard guys say he 184 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: can outrun your angle when you're when you're tracking him 185 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: down the sideline. Is do you have to kind of 186 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: reassess what a what a good angle is against the 187 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: player with that kind of speed, because it's it's kind 188 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: of unusual. I wouldn't say you have to reassess what 189 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: a good angle is. I think you have to make 190 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: sure you maintain your proper leverage, you know, knowing that 191 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: I can't ever get head up on a guy. Soon 192 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: as I get head up on him. He's gonna be 193 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: able to go either way, and I know I'm not 194 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: gonna be able to re establish that leverage in that angle. 195 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: So it's more so if I gotta, if I'm on 196 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: the right, I want to make sure you know I'm 197 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: coming in. I want to stay on that side so 198 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: he doesn't out leverage me. So it's more so maint 199 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: hand the leverage you have then losing it or trying 200 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: to rechange your leverage. Name. Yeah, thanks him, Thanks thank 201 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: you Kim, thank y'all.
