WEBVTT - The Audible Ep. 75 | Preston Williams 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:09.240 Hits the road where the Tampa Bay to the Bay Area. 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.640 I think we do get dam Bill focused. I think 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:16.160 so you know, I ran up a I ran up 0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.200 a seventy dollar lunch. But I'm just gonna feed that 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.160 to Jeff Griffith. Let him to take care. Jeff's been 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:23.320 walking around the bad day. I figured ran into you, 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.800 and I figured dinner tonight. I figured dinner tonight for 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:27.920 me alone is gonna run about a buck fifty. So 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:29.280 I'm gonna be in. I'm gonna be in for two 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:34.479 and a quarter by tomorrow one day. I don't give 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:35.960 many days where I can put my meals on the 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.560 Dolphins taff so, so I gotta take advantage of John 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.600 k Jimmy Kim Vocambra. We are in Tampa where the 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.000 Dolphins are going through two days of practices with the 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.919 Tampa Bay Bucks before a Friday's uh second preseason game. 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:48.680 I actually thought the game was Thursday all week, and 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.560 then all of a sudden looked at me, We're gonna 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.479 be there Friday extra day on here. So uh, but 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:55.520 John says, you know, to me, it's it's certainly about 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.480 the game. But but I think the real value to 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.400 coming up there are the two prack. This says, you 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.600 get a chance to you know, guys have been working 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.080 against each other. Now they kind of Norman's tendencies and 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:06.679 kind of know where they're setting up a route and 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.720 this and that. Or if you're a defensive lineman, you 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.520 know you kind of know where that talk was gonna set. 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:11.880 Now all of a sudden, you get to go get 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.240 two days going against another team that you're you're not 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.640 that familiar with, uh And I think it gives you 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.080 a better picture, a little more intensity, a little bit 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.720 of pushing and shoving. No nothing that nothing on day one, 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.360 that that erupted. You know. I thought a couple of 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.880 times maybe they were gonna kinda get going, but but nothing. 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.440 And I think it was a pretty good days, pretty 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.399 good days worth of work for the Dolphins. I thought 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.280 so too, Bo. And like you said, it's invaluable to 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.600 go against different body types, to go against different guys 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.320 with different gears at wide receiver, running back or different 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.080 pass sets, and and for the defensive linemen to go 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.720 after different guys that you haven't seen before. I think 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.840 it's it bodes well for both teams. And I thought 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.640 the practice was very fluid. I thought it was very clean. 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.400 I thought it was crisp. I think both teams are 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.960 are gonna be benefiting from the workouts, you know, for 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:00.840 the two days of prag is leading up to the 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.080 preseason game, and it just it just I think it 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.680 excites both teams because you know, there's not many chances 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.720 you can go for dress rehearsal in a practice setting 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.160 and then go into a game. And this is gonna 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.280 be good practice work for both teams, you have no 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.120 doubt about it. Uh, just to get again into the practice. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.320 Uh must have been first or second snap of the day. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.920 Kenyan Drake hobbles off the field. It looks like it's 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.480 kind of a foot injury, maybe an ankle injury. Not sure. 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.720 I'm not sure what the effective is it right now. 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.360 Didn't see him back on the field. But the flip side, 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.119 it's nice to Albert Wilson back there all through practice, 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.679 doing more things out there. Means he's getting closer and 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.079 closer to being a hundred percent as you wanted to be. Uh, 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.639 come to Baltimore Ravens when they come to town September eight. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.520 But it's nice to see him out there running, getting loose, 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.040 and doing some things, and that was certainly a really 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.600 nice thing to see. Well, anytime you see fifteen out there, 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.000 the only thing that could be better is if you 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.160 see nineteen joined them pretty soon and Jachim Grant. But 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.200 you know, Albert was in full pads running routes. It 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.520 looked like guys on the outside kind of you know, 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.920 the elite by example, and especially if you haven't been 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.440 out there in a while, you want to be you 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.640 want to be able to go and get your work 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.880 in because I think it's important coming off of an 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.600 injury for both of those guys. You can throw Jachim 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.760 in there as well, to go back out on the 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.720 practice field, do things and test yourself, test your limits, 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.080 see where you're at physically, because once September hits, and 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.520 it and it, you start counting him for real. You 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.000 want to be as closer, if not at a hundred 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.680 percent when you're going against the Baltimore Raven. So this 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.760 was another test I think for for you know, Albert 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.000 to go out there and see where he's at. And 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.480 he looked pretty looked pretty good catching the ball, you know, 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.880 then he turned it on down the sideline, just you know, 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.120 mimicking a big player, an explosive play. So like what 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.120 I saw, you know, it's it's tough when you're coming 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.880 back from an injury like that. And I'm a kind 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.440 of referenced Jachimila because you know, Jachim was out there 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.680 early in the training camp, look like he was gonna 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.640 go and then he had a little set back, maybe 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.200 a little twins, a little this and that coming out 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.360 that you know, that Achilles injury scared scare and I 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.960 think it kind of I think it caught caught everyone 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.960 by surprise and said, hey, let let's let's kind of 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.000 set him back a little bit. Let's give him some 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.280 time because we need him to be ready in September. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.560 We we don't need any of these you're early in 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.240 training camp. And so I think that's a lesson learned. 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.320 And I'm sure they're gonna keep a close eye on 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.800 Albert Wilson going forward, so if there's any minor set back, 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.000 but you know, minor setbacks all right, because I gets 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.520 a little rest, kind of goes back into that rehab mode, 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.839 gets himself stronger, and then comes back and had that 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.479 all that extra time to heal up is important and 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.120 I think that's gonna be good for uh, for Jachim 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.040 and Albert, I think is they're gonna keep a close 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:35.560 eye on the event that you know, he kind of 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.200 got it as a little, you know, a little hiccup 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:38.760 and then hey, let's let's pull you back a little 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.200 bit and then we'll accelerate a little further. But it's just, 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:42.680 you know, it's it's one of the things that you 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.240 have to go through both as a team and a 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.000 player as you try to manage coming back to from 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.800 injuries that that really cost you a big part of 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.960 last season. Well, and I think that that bodes well 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.760 too when you talked about the running back situation and 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.760 Kenyan going out for a couple of plays, you know, 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.279 only a couple of plays into practice he comes out, 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.800 I think that shifts the workload now if you know, 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.000 if it might not be serious, but it might be 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.160 serious enough to keep him out of a couple of 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.000 days of practice, which might not lend him to play 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.400 on Friday night, which would allow Blage to get maybe 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.080 the lion's share of the work. And now you get 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.000 to see maybe a little bit more of Mark Walton, 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.560 a little bit more of Miles Gascon, maybe some more 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.560 you know, Kenneth Ferrell, you know, you get it opens 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.200 the door up for these coaches to get to see 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.719 guys maybe on a sudden change type of deal in 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.120 the regular season. You want to test that naturally in 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.400 the preseason, so you know that might you know, hopefully 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.000 that Kenyan's injury or a tweak is just that, just 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.160 a tweak, and maybe it's a day maybe he's right 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.560 back out there, you know, in practice and doesn't miss 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.080 a beat. But if it does happen, it lends you 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.720 to see other guys. How much workload can we give 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.880 them and how do they do with that work? The 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.440 other the other thing always wonder in those situations, especially 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.800 when you've got people that you know are important to 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.120 your to your lineup, and you talk about Jachim, you 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.160 talk about Albert, you talk about Kenyan. You know, sometimes 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:00.440 you know, you put a guy out there and all 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.000 of suddy tweaks and you go, hey, you know what, 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.440 let's kind of put him on the shelf. We don't 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:05.880 need to we know what he can do. You just 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.159 get his work. Let's get him in there and and 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.080 you know that, you know, I think Kenyan is in 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.440 the battle and that running back spot with Kaylin Blage, 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.520 and so I know Kenyan would like to get back 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.479 out there again. We don't know the severity of that 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.240 injury right now, but I'm sure if it's nothing really big, 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.160 I'm sure Kenyan want to get back with the team. 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:22.839 You know, but the team magday, let's you know, let's 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.320 let's let's temper this a little bit, so you know, 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.000 both sides. You really have to be smart at this 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.080 time of the preseason. Look, they've been out there for 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.320 two going in their third week. You guys get a 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.240 little tired, you get a little spent, You kind of 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.599 over exert a little bit. And so this is where 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.400 it comes to trainers, team doctors and coaching staff to 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.720 monitor these kind of players that have little nicks, a 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.839 little injuries, and and you know, and pace them so 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.479 you get them ready for the season. One guy's not 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.000 pacing himself though, Josh Rosen. Josh came out again and 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.920 did some good thing. You know, you know, Josh is 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.160 It's funny because Josh the guy you can watch and 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.160 and and maybe in the beginning of Jesus and I 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.360 don't know, he doesn't look us and all of a 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.640 sudden he starts moving the ball down the field. We 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.760 saw him at Davante Parker on a on a nice 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.599 little takeoff right down route down there, and uh, you know, 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.080 and and do some other good things on the field, 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.240 but there's still a couple of things, a couple of 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.440 hiccups in there. And and coach you know, we talked 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.520 about a couple of weeks ago, John, and and now 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.440 Coach Flores is talking about it. He wants see his 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.640 body language a little bit. And something that really struck 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.240 me early on when I watched him play that you know, 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.520 I'm used to seeing guys that, you know, quarterbacks, John, 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.280 they walk into that huddle like they own that huddle, 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.880 and you know, and it's anybody's talking, shut your ass up, 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.760 I'm in charge here. And and you kind of tend 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.280 to see him kind of slink into the hud a 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.960 little bit more. And and and Coach Flows talking about 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.680 it so well, something to keep an eye on with him. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.640 But but the one thing I think we do see 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.480 is that the more he plays, and and he spent 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.440 a good amount of time with the ones that want 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.040 when when they went to the full team, you know, 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.760 it was it was Fitzpatrick with the starters and Rosen 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.200 with the backups. But through a lot of those individuals, 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.800 stuff seven on sevens and stuff, John's got a lot 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.239 of a lot of play with those, uh, those starters. 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.640 So at least you can either they're starting to to 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.000 to mix them and mix them both in and see 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.040 what they can do with the first group. They're starting 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:07.560 to put more on his plate to see how he 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.840 handles it. In half of that battle is to see 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.920 how he handles some of the things when they don't 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.600 go well. And I think that was a couple of 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.240 examples through you know, Tuesday's practice when things didn't go well. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.680 I think coach Flores wanted to nip that in the button. 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.000 Say listen, good, bad, or and different. You still have 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.200 to be the leader of the team. You still have 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.480 to be the leader of this offense. You know, let 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.480 flush those things out of the way. Get him out 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.600 if if they're bad things that happen, move on to 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.040 the next plane. I think he wants that to filter 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.000 down to every position. If you wi as an offensive guard, 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.120 if you drop a pass, if you're busted coverage, if 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:40.960 you miss on a blitz, or you don't tackle and 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.240 wrap up in the open field, get it past, you 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.800 move on to the next plane. Don't let a beach twice. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.400 And I think that's the most important thing at quarterback 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:52.400 for Josh Rosen is to start repeating those solid plays 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.959 and flush the stuff, get it behind him. When when 0:08:55.960 --> 0:09:00.560 he does make sometimes done it pisses he was. I 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.880 was always kind of a guy who was extremely critical 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.520 of myself. And so when I made a mistake, you know, 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.439 I beat myself up a little bit. And I think 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.839 at times I kinda I kind of maybe stepped back 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.720 a little bit, you know, and and and you know, 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.400 and and kind of felt sorry for myself a little bit. 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.640 And you know, I had you had to. I had 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.920 to teach myself no, no, no, let's move on to that. 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:20.480 And you know, and then you watch, you watch the 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.040 other extremes. And two of the biggest examples of the 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.880 other the other extremes both come in the quarterback position. 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.959 To me, Danny Marino and Andrew Luck. You know, I 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.760 remember watching Andrew Luck. He's last year with Stanford had 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.080 no wide receivers. Every wall the receivers, the wide receivers 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.000 they had got hurt. And he's playing with a bunch 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.320 of tight ends, good tight ends. But he's basically playing 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.640 an offensive with a running back, and and and and 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.960 a couple of few tight ends moving the ball down 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.880 the field. And and I and I saw him a 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.000 couple of times force it throw a pick six, throwing 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.920 interception at a critical part in the field, and instead 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.439 of slinking off, he ran over to the field sideline's 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.240 and he's gonna don't we We're gonna get the ball back, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.480 and we're sticking right down those throws. You know, there's 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.840 that guy. That's the guy you want. And Danny was 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.400 the I mean, Danny was the best. You know, he 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.200 may throw a pick sick. You know, Danny wasn't gonna 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:09.400 chase anywhere too far. He were going to give a 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.600 minimum efforts just to make the effort. But but but 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.280 then when you over the sideline and he was a 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.280 little bit I would expect he was a little more 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.280 colorful with his verbiage. But hey, we get the ball back, 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.240 we're gonna stick it up there, and you know what, 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.240 and taking up you know, and and and those are 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.480 the guys that did really lift up a team. And 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.199 I think they I think they see Josh making that 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.880 move and you look, you've got a guy in Fitzpatrick 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.000 has been there, done that. He he's got, he's got 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.280 to believe in himself. But I think with this young quarterback, 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.760 I think and what he's been through in uh in 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.800 Arizona is I think they're trying to get him to 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.360 believe in himself more and put the mistakes behind him quickly, 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.960 and and don't and don't carry it into the huddle 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.360 where you've got ten other guys and there looking at you, going, hey, 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.800 our leader not feeling very good. I'm not feeling very 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.280 good if he's not feeling very good. And that's you know, 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.080 you've been a cor've been a quarterback of your whole life. 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.160 That that's you know, that's something that you've got to 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.040 think about and something that has to be a part 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:07.400 of your preparation. It has to be part of your 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.080 d NA, make no mistake about it. You have to 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.240 have that gene where you all eyes are on you 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.160 at all times, and you have to have supreme confidence 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.120 in what you're doing, no matter if things are going good. 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.280 It's easy when things are going good, but when things 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.360 are going poorly, you still have to be able to 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.080 have that presence about you to have that calming effect. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.400 So other guys can feel like, hey, all we need 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.040 to do is do our part because we know our 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.840 guy has got us. And I think, you know, for 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.600 the coaching staff, they have to know everything about Josh 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.560 Rosen because this is not just a one week plan. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.040 This is a long This isn't this is this is 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.720 looking into the future for the Miami Dolphins, because you know, 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.680 fifteen years as an NFL quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick is not 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.000 going to be your answer for four years or for 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.760 three years down the road. They have a young guy 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.360 at twenty two years old. They have to find out 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.959 he's gonna be the guy or not. So as soon 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.560 as you can find out bits and pieces, tweak what 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.080 you don't like and build upon what you do like 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.920 to get him a chance to be that guy. They 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.480 this staff has to find out what makes him tick 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.599 and how can we make him better. You know, you 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.200 look at quarterbacks in this league, John, and you know 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.240 they're they're still had a number that floats around. Oh 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.360 you know, the average average career span in the NFL 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.680 is three and a half years, whatever it is. I 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.680 think that's skewed by a lot of a lot of things. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.880 But but when you look at the quarterback position and 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:28.040 quarterbacks that become franchise quarterbacks. And I'll throw in, I'll 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.199 throw in, uh, Ryan, Ryan Fitzpatrick, because you know, he's 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.160 been in the league for fifteen years, been a journeyman, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.920 but good enough to be around for fifteen years. Then 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.199 you go to the franchise guys. You know, Danny played 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:45.679 seventeen years. Uh you'll look at look at yeah. You know, 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.960 if you hear that guy, you're gonna be there for 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.320 fifteen to seventeen years. So that office don't even not 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.960 not only need to try to get Rosen prepared for 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.960 to be that guy. Now, you know, if he turns 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.880 out to be you know, and again there's a long 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.240 way to go in this race, but if somehow he 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.080 turns out to be that franchise guy, you're not talking 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:05.800 about just getting him ready for this year. You're talking 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.160 about getting ready for your ten and twelve four, you know, 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.439 and taking this team and putting on his shoulders. And 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.160 you can't put a guy in his shoulders if they're 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.600 slopped down and got your sliding off his back. Well, 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.720 I think that's why this this staff is preparing every 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.880 day to give him the ability to be that guy. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.840 You know, they're they're preparing him with the corrections, with 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.320 with the pad on the back, with with every little 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.360 thing you can be to be the best quarterback you 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.040 can be, because you either have it at that position 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.440 or you don't. And if you think the guy's got 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.679 a chance to have it, you're trying to direct him 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.280 any way possible. And I think that's what coach Flores 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.880 was doing during the Tuesday portion of practice. Poem aside, Hey, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.680 this is what we're like, This is what can happen 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.360 for you to be the guy. You gotta you gotta 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.280 be better at this, this and this and this is 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:50.960 what we want. This is what we want out of you. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.120 There's here's our expectations of being a leader, being a 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.280 court the quarterback of the Miami Dolf, you know the 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.360 other thing that goes along with that, and and and 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.360 to me, it's you know, when when we started, John, 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.679 I think I think we're both pretty pretty clear on it. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.360 And I I know it's pretty clear that to be 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.920 priority one was find that quarterback. You know, get that 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.760 guy is at him or is it not him? So 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.640 you know what to do next year. But and and 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.640 then everything else kind of fell behind it. Now I'm 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.920 in a position where, you know what, the biggest concerning me, 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.920 he's that offensive line and allowing those guys to go 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:22.960 through what they need to do with at the quarterback 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.200 spot to try to earn that job, because uh, it's 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.920 it's not a pretty site, that offensive line. I mean, look, 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.600 you've got two young guys in there. Uh Dieters. Looks 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.200 like he's gonna be the guy that they're gonna're gonna 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:34.960 They're gonna run him out there every day, They're gonna 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.560 give as many snaps, they're gonna talk to him as 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.600 much as they can, and and he's gonna be one 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.680 of your starting guys unless he just completely falls apart. Now, 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.280 he's had his struggles, but you know he's he's getting 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.280 used to he's getting used to life in the NFL 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.000 and different things. And he's kind of leans a little 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:50.800 bit of times, you know, kind of bends at the 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.200 waist a little times instead of bending the knees and 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.120 and gets beat. But you know, I think he's a 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.040 guy that's got enough pedigree that he'll catch up. On 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.000 the other side, Shaq Calhoun was in for a while. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:04.000 Out he's been out. You're moving people around. Jesse Davis 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.360 is kind of getting kicked out outside and maybe coming 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:10.720 back inside that that that group. And and believe me, 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.760 I'm watching every day and Google's out there and and 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.680 and and he's he's spilling his guts out there. I mean, 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.240 he's doing he's doing everything he can to get these 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.280 guys tight. You know, I heard him from the field. 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:22.800 I know I heard him from other field. Look, he 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.440 puts he's sending guys in time out. You're not doing something. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.040 He put it, and go over there. Just go stand 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.840 over there and I'll call you when we're ready. I'll 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.520 put it in time out for a while. So you know, 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.440 he's doing everything he can, but it's gonna take a while. Unfortunately, 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.600 we got another almost up two and a half weeks, 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.520 almost three weeks before you know, it really gets to 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.800 a critical point. But but every moment that he spends 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.040 with that group is valuable to get them where they 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.880 need to be because there's certainly nowhere close right now, 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.200 well right now, you're glad that the games don't count 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.080 for real, because these guys are on a on a 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.920 huge learning cup. When you talk about Michael Dieter and 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.040 Shot Calhoun, no no matter how much college football these 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.440 guys have played, it's just different strength. It's different speed, 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:05.760 it's different hand placement, it's different angles, it's different quickness 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.880 off the ball. There's so many things that go into 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.320 playing in the interior that let alone on the edge 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.640 when Jesse Davis is kicking outside thinking he's gonna be 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.640 the right guard for them for the two thousand nineteen season. 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.720 So I think that whole offensive line is in flux. 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.360 Now are they under control? Yeah, they're under control. They've 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.880 got a plan. Now how well can they execute it? 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.840 How well can they go from watching that Atlanta tape 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.680 which was very poor in in the beginning of that game, 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.640 first two and a quarter and a half, the two 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.240 quarters were poor. They got better as it went along, 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:40.240 But can they start by making those improvements by by 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.560 correcting some of those mistakes that were made early in 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.960 that game so you don't repeatedly make the same mistake 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.640 In terms of getting just flat outbeat with you know, 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.280 with you, you can't within the national football You're gonna 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.840 get you know, your second team quarterback in there right away. 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.160 So you have to be able to protect number one 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:00.600 and you have to be able to move the line 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.120 of scrimmage a little bit better. I think in the 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.840
