Speaker 4: What is up?
Speaker 2: Dolphins?
Speaker 4: And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part of the
Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins podcast Network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2: How's it going? Everybody?
Speaker 4: I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
Speaker 4: a Thanksgiving special episode of the Draft Time Podcast, We're
Speaker 4: gonna hear from former Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Caroline is
Speaker 4: here in the house. Say hi, ha, she's here with
Speaker 4: me right now. We're gonna also pick the week twelve games.
Speaker 4: We will also hear from assistant coaches and Mike McDaniel
Speaker 4: from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Trading Complex.
Speaker 2: This is the Draft Time podcast.
Speaker 4: Maybe, Jeff, let's go ahead and get to my guest today,
Speaker 4: the great Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is a
Speaker 4: tradition unlike any other. And I can't imagine anybody'd rather
Speaker 4: go back to my local bar with than former Dolphins
Speaker 4: quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitz you are looking as quafft as ever,
Speaker 4: my friend.
Speaker 2: How are you doing this one?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great? Thank you. Yeah. I was getting poured
Speaker 3: on last night in New York City, so the hairs
Speaker 3: still got some water in it.
Speaker 2: I always tell you this every time I see each other.
Speaker 4: I think that your beard gets all the attention, but
Speaker 4: the hair up top is is what really steals the show.
Speaker 4: So that's my intro every single time we do this
Speaker 4: podcast together. Pivoting here to Thanksgiving. The Dolphins gifted their
Speaker 4: employees the annual pies last last night, and I cracked
Speaker 4: in the mind ahead of Thanksgiving for the Hard Knocks
Speaker 4: episode of the Dolphins premiere down here, and I'll just
Speaker 4: say an elite key line, pie to me is unstoppable.
Speaker 3: Fit.
Speaker 4: You once made headlines talking about a different dessert birthday cakes,
Speaker 4: but I'll give you the chance here to do it
Speaker 4: again with Thanksgiving dessert. What's your go to Turkey Day dessert.
Speaker 3: I'm not a key line guy. I'm just not. I
Speaker 3: don't know why, but I I don't know for the
Speaker 3: people pecan or pekan, but I'm gonna go. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go with pecan pie. That is my absolute favorite. My
Speaker 3: grandma made a great one. And you know, my birthday's
Speaker 3: coming up on Friday, the day of the game, and
Speaker 3: so before we left, we had a Fakesgiving and so
Speaker 3: we did the turkey. We did a few desserts, but
Speaker 3: that's always my request. So on Fakesgiving the other day,
Speaker 3: I got a peak on pie. It was unbelievable. But
Speaker 3: that's definitely my go too.
Speaker 4: That's a new twist. I haven't heard you. I know
Speaker 4: friends Giving, but Fakesgiving is a new one for me.
Speaker 3: That's two my kids came up with the name. But
Speaker 3: I thought it was pretty good. I like Bryan and
Speaker 3: Turkey every year, and you know we're going to we're
Speaker 3: in the city, we're going to do Thanksgiving somewhere else.
Speaker 3: So I still wanted the opportunity to fry the bird.
Speaker 3: So that's why we put it on there.
Speaker 4: Well, it sounds like a fun little tradition for you guys,
Speaker 4: but also a little bit of twist being up in
Speaker 4: New York obviously, and happy birthday. My friend wasn't aware
Speaker 4: of that, so happy birthday coming here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm getting old, geez.
Speaker 4: I just told some one other day I'm the same
Speaker 4: age as to Ron Armstead, and they that like blew
Speaker 4: them up blew them away for some reason. I'm not
Speaker 4: really sure why, but I fell you man, I'm approaching
Speaker 4: that that forty mark as well myself. So I mentioned
Speaker 4: Hard Knocks just a minute ago in the episode they
Speaker 4: covered another fun new tradition there where coach Campanelli, our
Speaker 4: linebackers coach who you know in the turnover cakes, Speaking
Speaker 4: of Hard Knocks fits, I mentioned this to you before.
Speaker 4: I think one of my favorite Hard Knocks moments of
Speaker 4: all time was you evaluating a speech from quarterback Jamis
Speaker 4: Winston like I was just fit his character perfectly and
Speaker 4: fit your character the way they got that moment there
Speaker 4: on camera. What do you remember most about being on
Speaker 4: Hard Knocks with the Bucks that year?
Speaker 3: Uh? So, that moment definitely went viral. But you know
Speaker 3: the thing, the thing I'll say, Hard Knocks does a
Speaker 3: great job. They're they're there, but they do a great
Speaker 3: job and not getting in the way. They do a
Speaker 3: great job of presenting it the way it should be presented.
Speaker 3: You know, I think you always go into that as
Speaker 3: a player a little bit worried about, you know, the
Speaker 3: access that they have and the things are going to
Speaker 3: show and what it's going to make you look like.
Speaker 3: But they do a really, really great job. So I
Speaker 3: was really impressed with their staff, and you know, you
Speaker 3: end up becoming friends with them because you're seeing them
Speaker 3: every day, seeing them in the meal room and everything else.
Speaker 3: But I walked away from it very impressed by the
Speaker 3: way that they operate. And then you know, just the
Speaker 3: fact that it wasn't in your face, you kind of
Speaker 3: get comfortable with it because you know they're around and
Speaker 3: they're trying to do right by you as well.
Speaker 4: That's impressive because you were with him for what I
Speaker 4: guess five weeks and now it's going to be the
Speaker 4: whole season, hopefully into a deep playoff run here for
Speaker 4: these Dolphins, and you know, Hard Knocks, I'll call it
Speaker 4: the green Bean cast role of this interview will very good.
Speaker 4: The main attraction is still, of course the bird or
Speaker 4: the ham, depending on what you go with. Are you
Speaker 4: a hammer Turkey Gey, No.
Speaker 3: We're definitely Turkey family. We'll do a ham on Christmas,
Speaker 3: but definitely a Turkey's family.
Speaker 4: Makes a lot of sense to put the media's feet
Speaker 4: to the fire at his press conference this week, saying
Speaker 4: that ham and pineapple is the way to go. Kind
Speaker 4: of fitting for a kid from Hawaii, but no one
Speaker 4: really knew about the Hawaii Are the pineapple ham mixed there?
Speaker 2: Have you ever gone that way?
Speaker 3: I haven't. I mean, my wife's favorite pizza is the
Speaker 3: ham and pineapple, and I just can't. I just can't
Speaker 3: do it. Love to if I was going to his
Speaker 3: house for Thanksgiving, to be on board, but if he
Speaker 3: came to mind, I think we have to be the
Speaker 3: Friday Turkey.
Speaker 4: That's classic. I'm a big pepperoni pineapple guys, so I
Speaker 4: love it too. I'm with your wife on the pizza idea.
Speaker 4: I know most folks disagree with that, but good company there.
Speaker 4: Maybe you chose will, but Dolphins and Jets coming up
Speaker 4: here on Friday first, I wanted you to give me
Speaker 4: your ten thousand foot view of two teams you played
Speaker 4: for here and played very well for late in your career,
Speaker 4: facing off in a spotlight game with the entire nation watching,
Speaker 4: I'm so fired up. Like I mentioned to you face,
Speaker 4: I love Jets Week. It's my fair week of the year.
Speaker 4: How fired up are you for this game on Friday?
Speaker 3: I mean it is awesome And for us at Amazon,
Speaker 3: this is like a new holiday, is what we're looking
Speaker 3: at it as this Black Friday game. I mean, we
Speaker 3: found another space where the NFL could squeeze a game in.
Speaker 3: Why it hasn't been on this day yet, it's surprising,
Speaker 3: but the synergies with Amazon being in New York City,
Speaker 3: I think we're really fired up with this on and
Speaker 3: it's going to be you know, for us, the pregame show, halftime,
Speaker 3: post game, there's going to be great deal. There's going
Speaker 3: to be a lot of fun. There's going to be
Speaker 3: a little bit of talking about football. But you know,
Speaker 3: it's a great game. It's a great new holiday to
Speaker 3: think we're starting the Jets. You know, I think it
Speaker 3: starts that quarterback. You know, we're going to talk about
Speaker 3: that a little bit. You know, they finally decided to
Speaker 3: make a change from Zach Wilson. They've been in a
Speaker 3: tough spot all year. I mean, their defense has been
Speaker 3: absolutely lights out all year. So you know that as
Speaker 3: the season wears on, the divide into the locker room,
Speaker 3: when you have one side of the ball, it's outperforming
Speaker 3: the other side of the ball, you know, and you
Speaker 3: feel like the offense has been holding him back. It's
Speaker 3: something I'm always interested in seeing that dynamic because their
Speaker 3: defense has been great this year. With Miami, it seems like,
Speaker 3: you know, the narrative of well, they haven't been any
Speaker 3: good teams yet, and when they don't play good teams,
Speaker 3: they blow them out. When they play the good teams,
Speaker 3: they can't get over the hump. This is a great
Speaker 3: defense and the Jets, aside from last week with Josh
Speaker 3: Allen did to them, they really had a number of
Speaker 3: all these great quarterbacks. They've done a great job all year.
Speaker 3: So I feel like Miami's offense has slow down a
Speaker 3: little bit. You know, the run game hasn't been as dynamic.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the status of Ashan is, but
Speaker 3: you know he'll be a huge us for anathon back.
Speaker 3: But it just comes down to can you stop Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 3: I mean, wow, it's a consistency that he has shown
Speaker 3: all year, and it's just, you know, it's it's plays
Speaker 3: like that first touchdown last week where he catches the ball.
Speaker 3: There's four guys around him, and somehow he, more than
Speaker 3: anybody in the league, has the ability to turn on
Speaker 3: the Jets and just go and score. I can't wait
Speaker 3: to see him play. I can't wait to see Tua.
Speaker 3: I know Tua's got a new hairstyle. You know, I'm
Speaker 3: a little confused, but I can't wait to see him
Speaker 3: and talk to him about that. So there's a lot
Speaker 3: of things I'm pumped about going into this game.
Speaker 4: I could do a full fight minute podcast with you
Speaker 4: and two just talking about Harold Loan. That would be
Speaker 4: great to me. So you mentioned you mentioned the Jets
Speaker 4: quarterback situation, and that's kind of something I want to
Speaker 4: follow up on there because you've been in both situations
Speaker 4: right where you've come off the field and come into
Speaker 4: the game and really sparked a team and rejuvenated, you know,
Speaker 4: life into an offense that maybe previously didn't have that life.
Speaker 4: What do you think that the Jets are experiencing right
Speaker 4: now as they pivot to a quarterback and hasn't seen
Speaker 4: a lot of action in this league on a short
Speaker 4: week against a good team like Miami.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, and that's the other thing is Miami's defense,
Speaker 3: who's been playing great. They're really the big Fangio style,
Speaker 3: you know, Jalen Ramsey back. I think they're they're starting
Speaker 3: to really figure it out. So this isn't going to
Speaker 3: be an easy game for a young quarterback to step into.
Speaker 3: You know, it's hard the quarterback position when you get
Speaker 3: to a point where he's got a great defense, and
Speaker 3: basically the narrative is, okay, just don't turn the ball
Speaker 3: over and you know, don't put your defense in bad
Speaker 3: spots and we're going to be fine. To get too conservative.
Speaker 3: So you know, for this Jets offense, it's been a
Speaker 3: huge struggle and if you look at some of the stats,
Speaker 3: amount of time I think, you know, the scoring drives,
Speaker 3: the drought that they've had, they haven't had the ability
Speaker 3: to take the ball in for ten or twelve plays,
Speaker 3: bring it down and put a touchdown the incident. So
Speaker 3: if i'm them, I'm talking about how do we generate
Speaker 3: the big plays? And you can't be conservative when you
Speaker 3: have a chance to take a shot. It doesn't matter
Speaker 3: if it's Jalen Ramsey or Xavien Howard. You've got to
Speaker 3: put the ball down the field because it had such
Speaker 3: a hard time sustaining drives. But I think there's probably
Speaker 3: a little bit of optimism just because it's something new.
Speaker 3: You've got a new quarterback. You know, there's some intrigues
Speaker 3: and interest. How is it going to be different? But
Speaker 3: it's been really bad on that side of the football
Speaker 3: this year for the Jets.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then to your point of it impacts the
Speaker 4: defense too because they're going back out there after those
Speaker 4: three and now it's that's just consistently being put in
Speaker 4: spots where you have to get critical stops time and
Speaker 4: time Againnick, and where you're down, I'm sure on that
Speaker 4: side of the football. On the other side of the
Speaker 4: Dolphins offense, you know, we talked in May for the
Speaker 4: schedule release, we talked about Tua in the first year
Speaker 4: of Mike McDaniel, how impressed you were by the way
Speaker 4: they had put together, you know, a relationship and really
Speaker 4: kind of taken off in that first season together. Now
Speaker 4: with ten games into the second year in this offense,
Speaker 4: his first time having the same play caller and back
Speaker 4: to back years since high school, what have you seen
Speaker 4: in terms of Tua's growth and just the overall stass
Speaker 4: of where he is with his game right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been awesome and I'm really excited. I'm really
Speaker 3: excited to see it because he's been so consistent, and
Speaker 3: I think first and foremost the health of Tua, Like
Speaker 3: he's been very healthy. He's been able to avoid the hits,
Speaker 3: he is getting the ball out. That stuff has all
Speaker 3: been really good. But he's such a great quarterback when
Speaker 3: he threw the rhythm, you know, and we've seen that
Speaker 3: for the last two years now when he hits that
Speaker 3: back foot and the ball's coming out. He has some
Speaker 3: special weapons and in this offense set at time and
Speaker 3: time again. But it's tailor made for him because it's
Speaker 3: a rhythm offense. It's hitting these guys on the end,
Speaker 3: breaking routes and letting them catch the ball and run
Speaker 3: with it. So you know, it's also a reason why
Speaker 3: brock Purty is playing so great in San Francisco is
Speaker 3: because he's so good at anticipate, anticipation and throwing the
Speaker 3: football accurately and on time. So great for Tua. You know,
Speaker 3: this this is going to be a enough balance for him,
Speaker 3: you know, because this defense is really good, they're going
Speaker 3: to try to get after him. They rush to pass
Speaker 3: it really well. You know, it's going to be more
Speaker 3: the same for Tua. Can he make those quick decisions?
Speaker 3: Can he put a ball in Tyreek's hands or Model's
Speaker 3: hands where they're going to be able to catch him
Speaker 3: running hill? But everybody in the league is afraid of
Speaker 3: those two in their speed. Uh and two it does
Speaker 3: a great job and get involved in the offense.
Speaker 4: That's a great little transition to this next question. I
Speaker 4: wanted to ask you here too, because Fitz, you know,
Speaker 4: when I was you know, before I got to the
Speaker 4: team your first year at the Dolphins, I was doing
Speaker 4: analysis for a different you know, publication, and when I
Speaker 4: put your tape on, like, man, you balled for the
Speaker 4: Bucks when you were with them. Then you came down
Speaker 4: to South Florida and had a really good twenty nineteen
Speaker 4: season as well, where anticipation throws and going into spots
Speaker 4: and just these really high level processing type of actions.
Speaker 4: And you played so fast, so aggressive, so confident when
Speaker 4: you were here. I'm wondering, you know, because you just
Speaker 4: talked about two was processing and decision making and all
Speaker 4: that stuff. How does processing for a quarterback become maybe
Speaker 4: not easier as the term, but I guess more second
Speaker 4: nature as you begin to rack up years of experience
Speaker 4: and multiple reps. Like do you feel like late in
Speaker 4: your career that you were just a better player because
Speaker 4: you've seen a lot more?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so. You know, confidence is always a
Speaker 3: big thing too, And I think two is right and
Speaker 3: high right now with this confidence, and Mike McDaniel's on
Speaker 3: a great shove of that and trying to allow him
Speaker 3: to regain and find that. But for me, I think
Speaker 3: the later I got in my career, it wasn't you know,
Speaker 3: after the ball was snapped, how fast could I get
Speaker 3: through my progressions? It was more before the ball was snapped?
Speaker 3: What can I cancel out? Where do I the ball
Speaker 3: is not going? And once I figured that little tid
Speaker 3: bit out and was able to you know, let's say
Speaker 3: on every play, you've got five guys that you can
Speaker 3: throw the ball to, and I'm able to eliminate two
Speaker 3: guys from that too, Like could say, look, defense isn't
Speaker 3: great for these two guys. I love these three guys.
Speaker 3: I think once I figured out that, and before I
Speaker 3: had the ball in my hand. I was already able
Speaker 3: to only have you know, two or three guys that
Speaker 3: had the opportunity to get the ball. That was when
Speaker 3: I really started processing fast. And the other thing for
Speaker 3: me everywhere I went was always you know I was
Speaker 3: talking about earlier in this but giving guys chances. You know,
Speaker 3: when I came to Miami, DeVante Parker, I'm sitting there
Speaker 3: scratching my head like, how has this guy not been
Speaker 3: you know, a thousand year receiver every year, so great
Speaker 3: with the fifty to fifty ball. Mike is SICKI you know,
Speaker 3: was a guy that was like how is he more
Speaker 3: passes than in the field? And so trying to unlock
Speaker 3: the confidence and those guys has always been a big
Speaker 3: part of where I've in my game. And man, it
Speaker 3: makes me smile because I loved. I love my time
Speaker 3: in Miami thinking about those guys. And I got my
Speaker 3: old my old ear on right here. But tell you what,
Speaker 3: when I'm when I go and now as an analyst,
Speaker 3: but I go to these games and I get to see,
Speaker 3: you know, the players, it's great, but I mean the
Speaker 3: equipment guys, it's trainers, Like I am so excited to
Speaker 3: see the staff on Miami because these are some of
Speaker 3: my best friends in the world.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I recognize the travel gear anytime
Speaker 4: I see it, So I'm glad to see you rocking
Speaker 4: out right now in New York City. Pretty cool to
Speaker 4: rep that on a Dolphins Jets game week for us
Speaker 4: here and you mentioned Devonte Parker, They're like, I think
Speaker 4: I think it was at the Giants you had a
Speaker 4: twenty five yard touchdown pass to him that was one
Speaker 4: of the just the prettiest touchdowns I've seen in the
Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins game ever, where you threw up the scene
Speaker 4: and like you let that thing go before he was
Speaker 4: even off the press of the last scrimage, and man,
Speaker 4: it was fun to watch twelve hundred yards for him
Speaker 4: that you're like you mentioned, you know, after not having
Speaker 4: a thousand.
Speaker 2: Yard season prior to that.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask you the same question I asked Trent
Speaker 4: Green on the podcast last week. Fits So apologies for
Speaker 4: redundancies here for the audience, but I think that it
Speaker 4: would be a miss to not ask you this as well.
Speaker 2: It's a hypothetical.
Speaker 4: So you're twenty eight years old again, whatever you considered
Speaker 4: the prime of your career, we talked about how good
Speaker 4: you were in your late thirties, but maybe you want
Speaker 4: to go back to a Times No.
Speaker 3: Thirty. I'm thirty seven. Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 4: So the hypothetical is you just found out you're right
Speaker 4: where you want to be in your pro career, and
Speaker 4: you found out you're going to be quarterbacking of Mike
Speaker 4: McDaniel offense. What would your reaction to that be just
Speaker 4: in terms of how excited you are about getting to
Speaker 4: work with coach as a quarterback.
Speaker 3: Well, I'd have to work through the Harvard Yale thing
Speaker 3: first off, you know, that would be a big sticking
Speaker 3: point for us. I'm actually going to avoid them before
Speaker 3: the game because ZL did just beat Harvard. Definitely will
Speaker 3: be avoiding him. I've seen these pretty fast though. I
Speaker 3: would be so fired up. I think you know all
Speaker 3: quarterbacks watching the success that Too has had the last
Speaker 3: two years, the amount of his coach believes in him,
Speaker 3: and for me, the workiness, like I think I get
Speaker 3: a kick out of, just like a lot of other
Speaker 3: people do, is press comferences and Wake carries himself and
Speaker 3: it's just so different from and refreshing from a lot
Speaker 3: of the head coaches that you've seen and that I've
Speaker 3: played for them. But his ability to marry up a
Speaker 3: run game with the play action the past game is awesome.
Speaker 3: It looks like a master class every week, and so
Speaker 3: I would be so fired up, you know, if I
Speaker 3: ever had that opportunity to do that the last couple
Speaker 3: of years. I'm telling you people, every game, somebody gets here,
Speaker 3: Hey you coming back. I am retired, and I'm so happy.
Speaker 3: Seventeen years was enough, but you know, I'm loving life
Speaker 3: right now. But that would have that would have been
Speaker 3: a great opportunity at some point.
Speaker 4: It feels like a like a buddy cop movie or something,
Speaker 4: you and him hanging out together.
Speaker 2: It would be perfect. The Harvard yelping. I didn't even
Speaker 2: think about that. It's a great connection there.
Speaker 4: Good on you for acknowledging that, and then the fact
Speaker 4: that you how to avoid him despite the fact that
Speaker 4: he could chase you down like he did on that
Speaker 4: great Snday night football run.
Speaker 2: Back to the locker room. A few weekspect Ryan.
Speaker 4: Fitzpatrick, my guest from the Draft Time podcast, a couple
Speaker 4: of questions about the defense for the Dolphins here. We
Speaker 4: talked about it earlier, but just curious when you plug
Speaker 4: the tape on our watched this team play, like Jalen
Speaker 4: Ramsey came back three games ago and they averaged just
Speaker 4: allowing fourteen points per game in the game since he returned.
Speaker 4: How does his presence change what coach Fangio and that
Speaker 4: zone heavy, you know, light box defense and all the
Speaker 4: things that he does that really well across you know,
Speaker 4: a long football career. How does Ramsey really help this
Speaker 4: defensive scheme go to the next level.
Speaker 3: I think he really helps the scheme just because he's
Speaker 3: an all Pro type player. But I think he elevates everybody.
Speaker 3: I mean, from last week at the beginning of that
Speaker 3: football game Xavian Howard, it just seemed like he was
Speaker 3: really into it. He was really engaged. He was making
Speaker 3: tackles and hits behind the line of scrimmage. I think
Speaker 3: his presence elevates everybody. And Andrew Whitworth do I work with,
Speaker 3: you know, Thursday Night Football with the Amazon Prime stuff.
Speaker 3: He Andrew told me a lot of great stories about
Speaker 3: Jalen in La and his presence, his leadership, and how
Speaker 3: much he demands of himself and how much he demands
Speaker 3: and that of everybody else. So his presence the buildings, hurt, howing,
Speaker 3: some meetings and all that stuff. You know, I've heard
Speaker 3: great things and with Miami and the position they're in
Speaker 3: to get him and all of a sudden for that
Speaker 3: defense to flip the switch. They're playing at a high
Speaker 3: level right now, and I think a lot of that
Speaker 3: is due to Jalen Ramsey's return and his presence in
Speaker 3: the lineup. I think that elevates everybody else's game.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure I've seen a person more singularly focused
Speaker 4: in Jalen Ramsey as he is all ball all the time.
Speaker 4: It's fun to watch and it's fun to be around.
Speaker 4: Just a real quick follow up on the defense here,
Speaker 4: real quick, because you've played against the Spangio defense a
Speaker 4: few times in your career. They one of the principles
Speaker 4: is light boxes that allow them to get more guys
Speaker 4: in the coverage and they can get out of the
Speaker 4: quarterback with four. They can defend the run with with
Speaker 4: those guys as well, and David Long a big part
Speaker 4: of that. Jerome Baker in the middle, and of course
Speaker 4: you know Zach Sealer, Christian Wilkins, like these guys. This
Speaker 4: is a very good front seven, and these guys play
Speaker 4: a lot of snaps as well. How does this personnel
Speaker 4: allow Miami to play that stuf defense because of the
Speaker 4: players I just talked.
Speaker 3: About two of my favorite guys in the world. He
Speaker 3: just mentioned Christen Wilkinson, Zack Steeler. You Zach has been
Speaker 3: so amazing for Miami. It's nice to see him get
Speaker 3: the new deal. But yeah, I mean it's just you know,
Speaker 3: these guys play fast, they play tough, and it really thinks.
Speaker 3: But it really seems like, especially on the back end,
Speaker 3: that they're starting to understand the principles of this defense.
Speaker 3: So it makes it tough on a quarterback. And another thing,
Speaker 3: you got to remember when you have an offensive scoring
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, this feeds into Fangio's defense a
Speaker 3: little bit too. You know, he's got a team that's
Speaker 3: trying to play ketchup and they know they're going to
Speaker 3: score because they're watching Tyreek Won will run all over
Speaker 3: the field and you see the scoreboard getting lit up.
Speaker 3: Puts a lot more pressure on the imposing quarterback, and
Speaker 3: again that just kind of feeds into the way he
Speaker 3: likes to play.
Speaker 4: So big game here here on Friday, Ryan fis Patrick
Speaker 4: my guest coming up on Black Friday up in the
Speaker 4: middle Lands, Dolphins at Jets. One last question here for
Speaker 4: you fits. A lot of people are gonna be picking
Speaker 4: the Dolphins. This one question to you is how do
Speaker 4: the Jets challenge the Dolphins and make this a tighter
Speaker 4: contest with the divisional matchup on the road. Obviously some
Speaker 4: of those factors go into the Jets, but how do
Speaker 4: they hang around this game and make it close to
Speaker 4: the very.
Speaker 3: End of Yeah, I mean, I think the amazing thing
Speaker 3: about the NFL is you do get these divisional Jets.
Speaker 3: You know, crazy things always seem to happen, even you know,
Speaker 3: looking back last week with the Rams in Seattle, it's
Speaker 3: like it just these games are always closer than you
Speaker 3: think they're going to be. And you know they're going
Speaker 3: to rely on a lot of obviously great defense and
Speaker 3: big plays from their defense, creating some turnovers, maybe scoring
Speaker 3: on defense, scoring on special teams. I think we're going
Speaker 3: to see the trippery. I mean, they've got nothing to
Speaker 3: lose at this point, right that's dangerous when you're playing
Speaker 3: a team there's absolutely nothing to lose, and I think
Speaker 3: that's the point of the season that the Jets are at.
Speaker 3: So we make our picks every week. Right now, I
Speaker 3: think I know I'm sitting up on top of the panel.
Speaker 3: I think I'm eighting one. Uh. I can't tell you
Speaker 3: who I'm going to pick because I know that work
Speaker 3: who's on my heels is going to be watching your podcast,
Speaker 3: so I'm sure he's a huge fan. But I'm going
Speaker 3: to keep my pick to myself right now. But very
Speaker 3: much looking forward to the game.
Speaker 4: Hey, your sweathriss has it all my friend. Now, I'm
Speaker 4: just kidding when we're in this pot like that. But now,
Speaker 4: very good stuff.
Speaker 2: Happy Fanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy soon to be birthday. Here
Speaker 2: Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 4: You can find him on the pregame show on Friday
Speaker 4: on Amazon halftime postgame as well. Hopefully some Dolphins up
Speaker 4: on that panel with you guys after the fact. From
Speaker 4: MetLife fits, It's always a pleasure, man, Keep killing it.
Speaker 4: Love you in this new industry, in this new walk
Speaker 4: of life. We'll see it on the line of my friend.
Speaker 3: Thank you well.
Speaker 4: Audio on that wasn't great, but the content was right.
Speaker 4: Very happy to talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick. So gracious of
Speaker 4: him to take time out of his vacation right now
Speaker 4: with his family he's up in New York with the
Speaker 4: entire Fitzpatrick family before Friday's game up in New York,
Speaker 4: so appreciate his time here on the show. Always makes
Speaker 4: time for us here with the Miami Dolphins. Go ahead
Speaker 4: and take our first break right here, deep into the podcast,
Speaker 4: and it's gonna be a long one today, but we
Speaker 4: only have a few episodes this week, so I don't
Speaker 4: feel too bad about it. We are gonna come back
Speaker 4: on the other side give you my thoughts on Hard Knocks.
Speaker 4: We'll also hear from Fangio, Frank Smith, Mike McDaniel to
Speaker 4: a tongue Mailoa all that. Next Draft Time podcast your
Speaker 4: host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. So
Speaker 4: we all watched Hard Knocks on Tuesday? Right, yeah you did.
Speaker 4: You're not listening to this podcast and you didn't watch
Speaker 4: Hard Knocks, Come on, don't lie to me.
Speaker 2: It dropped on Tuesday.
Speaker 4: The first thing I wanted to touch on is just
Speaker 4: the reception of it, because seeing all you guys on
Speaker 4: social raving about it, my friends who are also fans
Speaker 4: of the Finns texting me telling me they're all in
Speaker 4: on how pumped they are about this episode, and this
Speaker 4: team and look for someone like me, like you guys,
Speaker 4: it's a can't miss right. You're not gonna get that
Speaker 4: type of access to the team and think it's anything.
Speaker 2: Less than awesome.
Speaker 4: What I love the most was the conversations on the
Speaker 4: practice field, because that's the most like inside football you're
Speaker 4: gonna get in any capacity. And it was just really
Speaker 4: cool to see Mike hyping the guys up. The no
Speaker 4: look past reaction, the Max Crosby Quinton Bell roll, which
Speaker 4: by the way to a thanking Quinton for nudging him
Speaker 4: and bumping him every time he goes past.
Speaker 2: Him, is hilarious. Gets hit.
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir, May I have another? I thought Coach
Speaker 4: Camp stole the show. In fact, we're gonna do top
Speaker 4: three MVPs of the episode. He'll be in there. What's
Speaker 4: funny about the intensity he brought there was that you
Speaker 4: won't find a better person in a more like kind
Speaker 4: of reserved personality.
Speaker 2: When he's just talking to you on the building.
Speaker 4: Camp's the kind of guy that asks you how the
Speaker 4: family's doing, how are you feeling, how's your week been?
Speaker 4: He just cares, and we love him for that. I
Speaker 4: thought Mike's opening speech was outstanding. And isn't that just
Speaker 4: fitting like in terms of who he is? Because people
Speaker 4: always ask me, you know, I'll do radio spots or
Speaker 4: I did a show for nfl UK last week. They
Speaker 4: always asked me, what's Mike Like, what's it like working
Speaker 4: in this building with Mike McDaniel in charge? And I
Speaker 4: always just go back to the well of he is
Speaker 4: the genuine article. He encourages everybody to be themselves, from
Speaker 4: QB one to the stupid podcast guy back here on
Speaker 4: the other side of the building. Be you, and we'll
Speaker 4: have our most success through you being your authentic self.
Speaker 4: I really, really really liked the accounting of the days practices,
Speaker 4: games left, even though it was a little bit sobering
Speaker 4: because you realize that we only have forty seven days
Speaker 4: left until the playoffs, and then like it goes by
Speaker 4: so fast from there and then it's back to watching baseball,
Speaker 4: which I love baseball, but it ain't football.
Speaker 2: What else?
Speaker 4: The offensive line dinner was outstanding. I knew we'd get
Speaker 4: laughs if Rob Jones got his beautiful face on the screen,
Speaker 4: and that happened in about two seconds eating that tiny
Speaker 4: little burger. Awesome to see tarn Armstead's leadership on display
Speaker 4: like that. I kept on saying throughout the show to
Speaker 4: my wife, Oh, it's one of my favorite people in
Speaker 4: the world right there, And she's like, you said that
Speaker 4: about everyone on the.
Speaker 2: Show so far. What can I say?
Speaker 4: This is a building full of likable people.
Speaker 2: Kendall Lamb. Yeah.
Speaker 4: If you heard the Wednesday podcast, Wait Tuesday podcast talking
Speaker 4: about the Jets, Kendall, you and I kindred spirits, my friend.
Speaker 4: I love Kendall Lamb. I also loved Wes Welker marveling
Speaker 4: at both Tyreek speed and Tua's anticipation that one big
Speaker 4: hitter they had in practice. In fact, I clipped the audio.
Speaker 5: He let that go at the hash I would say
Speaker 5: it was crazy, you got.
Speaker 3: It like dame near inside edge of the numbers.
Speaker 4: But yes, listen to Stephen Ruiz tell you about too
Speaker 4: his skill set, right, Yeah, I think I think Wes Welker,
Speaker 4: I might take his word. First, I thought the Tyreek
Speaker 4: at Home stuff was really good. First. I liked that
Speaker 4: they went to him first because if anybody can handle
Speaker 4: this distraction or you know, quote unquote distraction, it's definitely him.
Speaker 4: But hearing him talk about his experience and maturity as
Speaker 4: he approaches his late twenties. It's made some mistakes, right,
Speaker 4: but it sounds like he's got, you know, his kind
Speaker 4: of situation in terms of where he wants to be
Speaker 4: in the man he wants to be figured out, and
Speaker 4: that's kind of cool. I thought it was cool they
Speaker 4: showed him catching damn near the same route, if not
Speaker 4: the exact same route that he scored a touchdown on
Speaker 4: in practice. Also the those twenty five yard far hash
Speaker 4: comebacks or out routes that he was throwing that I
Speaker 4: rade about on the All twenty two podcast. It was
Speaker 4: cool to see that in practice and then of course
Speaker 4: in the game. And then of course just how he's different. Man,
Speaker 4: Like the hand was bothering him. Hell Kyle Johnston athletic
Speaker 4: trainer putting the splint on his hand, saying I'm glad
Speaker 4: you're built different, Like, thanks for doing that for me.
Speaker 4: That's all I can say. Man, He's just different. Shout
Speaker 4: out to the starring role for Vera Halim our outstanding
Speaker 4: communications department over here, and she is a big part
Speaker 4: of that. Not a lot of people can challenge Tyreek
Speaker 4: like that, and she's just one of them, Like though
Speaker 4: she's one hundred percent right, one hundred and forty six
Speaker 4: yards and a touchdown is not exactly not doing ish.
Speaker 4: Tyreek loved him saying, Tyreek that is we never know
Speaker 4: Tua's next move. Speaking of Tua politeness personified, Ah, my goodness.
Speaker 4: And then my penultimate note here, I just loved his
Speaker 4: leadership after the game, going with all the skill guys,
Speaker 4: all the defensive guys, saying I need to be better
Speaker 4: telling the defense.
Speaker 2: You guys carry the day today.
Speaker 4: You can just see the way his teammates feel about him,
Speaker 4: and it's been obvious to us for a long time.
Speaker 4: Hopefully you'all get a better look at that now. Christian
Speaker 4: Wilkins winning dance, like had to put that in there.
Speaker 4: Marino after the game, gosh, just so so good. And
Speaker 4: finally a tip of the cap to NFL Films. The pictures,
Speaker 4: the visuals, they're just stuf. How can you not love
Speaker 4: all the highlights they showed you. The edit was great
Speaker 4: and the facility the stadium South Florida constant stunning visuals.
Speaker 4: I am so pumped for the show. We have at
Speaker 4: least seven more weeks. I think ten or eleven more
Speaker 4: weeks personally, and like Coach said, they are just documenting
Speaker 4: the season and hopefully it's a special one that we
Speaker 4: can all look back on with this type of access
Speaker 4: as a very very memorable year. Just think, if you
Speaker 4: go and accomplish what we all want to accomplish this year,
Speaker 4: if Hard Knocks was here for that and the access
Speaker 4: you'd have to it pretty fun opportunity. Hopefully the football
Speaker 4: gods work out in that way. Let's go ahead and
Speaker 4: move next to the sound bites of the week and
Speaker 4: the game picks in the third segment. That's next the
Speaker 4: Drive Time Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you
Speaker 4: by out donation. We're gonna hear from Tula, McDaniel, Smith,
Speaker 4: and Fango here. Let's go ahead and start with Tula
Speaker 4: because the short week in the NFL always fascinates me,
Speaker 4: especially with how and you'll hear this from coach McDaniel,
Speaker 4: how regimented these guys are. And it's very very much
Speaker 4: your same schedule every single week, routine, routine, routine, and
Speaker 4: so when you throw that off, it changes things. So
Speaker 4: I ask QB one, how much more challenging is it
Speaker 4: to prepare when you don't have as many live reps
Speaker 4: on the practice field.
Speaker 1: It is more challenging, you know, only because you play
Speaker 1: a game. You know there's there's the science behind the
Speaker 1: forty eight hour time window of practicing.
Speaker 3: Or or not practicing.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's a lot of mental reps
Speaker 1: for for all of us. And then I think we'll
Speaker 1: have we'll probably have one day of a field practice
Speaker 1: to just run around and you know, make sure everything
Speaker 1: is is on point and on time. But outside of that,
Speaker 1: this is a well, what makes these short weeks tough
Speaker 1: is a lot of these these things are mental, more
Speaker 1: mental than physical.
Speaker 4: QB one kind of echoes the sentiment of the head
Speaker 4: coach with regards to the mental aspect of it. And
Speaker 4: you're gonna hear a long SoundBite here from coach thinking
Speaker 4: about chopping up. But I kind of want to play
Speaker 4: the whole thing because it was very insightful, very good.
Speaker 4: I asked coach the exact same question. He was about
Speaker 4: four times as long as to a here's McDaniel.
Speaker 5: It is a completely different challenge. You have to let
Speaker 5: go of some of your idiosyncrasies as a coach to
Speaker 5: where maybe your plan is uh, you know, it just
Speaker 5: adjusts everything you do. You have to keep in mind
Speaker 5: you can't have your cake and eat it too. You
Speaker 5: only have a certain amount of reps. So how do
Speaker 5: you do things within the realm of players comfort so
Speaker 5: they're confident, but also give an element of edge that
Speaker 5: is necessary to be any NFL team. You're you're trying
Speaker 5: to balance a lot of things. It is a strain.
Speaker 5: You want to talk about something that no one talks
Speaker 5: about that is so real is we are a creature
Speaker 5: of habit, right. We have the same orchestration of work
Speaker 5: week and that that is where people live in a
Speaker 5: high stakes world of professional football. Well, we are meeting
Speaker 5: all day and putting in so much stuff on Tuesday,
Speaker 5: which is the player's day off. So that is the
Speaker 5: challenge that you enter into because they're conditioned. Even it
Speaker 5: doesn't matter how bad they want to they're tired. It's like, oh, man,
Speaker 5: to me, just play, Yes you did, So you have
Speaker 5: to really go after it that whole player day off,
Speaker 5: which is now your Wednesday and Thursday combined, and then
Speaker 5: you have to all of that is hard, and then
Speaker 5: you have to get up and do it again the
Speaker 5: next day, except this time you're practicing as you would
Speaker 5: on Thursday on a Wednesday, which is different to the.
Speaker 3: Clock, you know.
Speaker 5: I mean there's a professional athletes have the most O,
Speaker 5: C D and routine and are more routine oriented than
Speaker 5: anybody that I've come across, Like they are regimented. That's
Speaker 5: the only way that you can maximize your physical performance.
Speaker 5: Talking about meals how like stretching, massages, treatment pools, tubs,
Speaker 5: all the different things that go into it. So that
Speaker 5: inherently is a challenge. But when it's a uncontrollable then
Speaker 5: it's not about this is hard.
Speaker 3: It's about okay, so.
Speaker 5: Then how do we how do we combat that? And
Speaker 5: you know, I feel very fortunate that we have a
Speaker 5: lot of competitors that when it was explain to them
Speaker 5: through that lens, they're up for the challenge. And I'm
Speaker 5: expecting some some exciting football here today on the practice field.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's gonna be a long podcast here because that
Speaker 4: was just so good. Like I I loved the He's
Speaker 4: just so self aware of the situation. How the athlete might,
Speaker 4: you know, react to his certain situation. And that's why
Speaker 4: I think, you know, in addition to the great offensive
Speaker 4: scheming and game plans and quarterback you know knowledge, I
Speaker 4: think that's the biggest advantage the coach has is just
Speaker 4: the overall self awareness and how to relate to the
Speaker 4: modern day athlete. Speaking of that, this guy loves himself
Speaker 4: from Jalen Ramsey and why wouldn't you also, by the way,
Speaker 4: Jalen Ramsey AFC Defensive Player of the Week. After those
Speaker 4: two picks, where else would you go with that? He
Speaker 4: was asked about Jayleen Ramsey's involvement in all the meetings
Speaker 4: and stuff this offseason, or rather this season after his
Speaker 4: injury and how impactful that was and how that helped
Speaker 4: him drop right into the defense. Another long answer here,
Speaker 4: but he compared him to a certain movie character. I
Speaker 4: think you guys will all resonate with no.
Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's absolutely everything. When I
Speaker 5: tell you, never in my career have I seen someone with.
Speaker 2: Months, not week's.
Speaker 5: Injury be as involved in a team. Mind you, he
Speaker 5: had two practices under his belt with this team. So
Speaker 5: to have two practices, understand have the wherewithal to understand
Speaker 5: your impact on people and how your injury was. I mean,
Speaker 5: our our team was in the tank until he talked
Speaker 5: to the team and explained that, hey, I'm gonna do this,
Speaker 5: and they did it each and every day. You know,
Speaker 5: when your most talented players epitomize your beliefs and how
Speaker 5: to do things as an individual, uh, with regard to yourself,
Speaker 5: but also with the regards to the entire team. When
Speaker 5: you have the most talent and then you exhibit the exact.
Speaker 3: Model of the.
Speaker 5: You know of Rudy, Like that's like the guy that
Speaker 5: you're like, wow, Like you have Rudy in a you know,
Speaker 5: once in a once in a generation type skill set.
Speaker 5: You know, for a guy that size and like it,
Speaker 5: it it can't help. There's no way to avoid the
Speaker 5: ramifications for the rest of the team.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: I think he comes back and it raises people's level
Speaker 5: of game because he's an elite player, but you also
Speaker 5: know what he did to get back here, and so
Speaker 5: then you, you know, maybe you take an extra thirty
Speaker 5: minutes to review your your tip sheet that you get
Speaker 5: from your coaches the night before the game, Like the
Speaker 5: residuals are endless. If you want to be a winning program,
Speaker 5: that has to happen or you're just wishing and hoping.
Speaker 5: So I can't say enough good things about that guy.
Speaker 5: One of my top three favorite players of all time,
Speaker 5: and I've only been on a game, in game situations
Speaker 5: with him like what four times three three?
Speaker 2: Two more soundbites here.
Speaker 4: Let's go ahead and start with Vic Fangio, because I'm
Speaker 4: fascinated by this concept of preparing for a player who
Speaker 4: just doesn't have a lot of tape, going back to
Speaker 4: his Yukon days with one touchdown, thirteen picks in nineteen games,
Speaker 4: which is still the most fascinating stat I've ever seen
Speaker 4: in sports, more so than cal ripkens Ironman record, more
Speaker 4: so than Nolan Ryan's six no hitters, more so than.
Speaker 2: Oh, shoot, what was the last one I had?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 2: The Ted Williams hitting streak.
Speaker 4: The fact that Tim Boyle made the NFL after going
Speaker 4: one in thirteen in touchdown interception ratio is the greatest
Speaker 4: at of all time. Let's go ahead and hear from
Speaker 4: Vic Fangio about how you prepare for a quarterback who
Speaker 4: has not played a lot of action in the National
Speaker 4: Football League.
Speaker 6: He played in the preseason for the Jets this year.
Speaker 6: He played in Chicago, which was the same system that
Speaker 6: he's in now. Because you know, he was in Green
Speaker 6: Bay with coach Hackett, the offensive coordinator in Chicago, was
Speaker 6: in Green Bay when he was there, he was with Chicago.
Speaker 6: Now he's back with coach Hacketts, so he knows the
Speaker 6: system and there's some video out there.
Speaker 4: Very last one here a question that I wanted to
Speaker 4: ask McDaniel or Frank Smith, because a couple of weeks
Speaker 4: ago McDaniel allude to the difficulty of coming off the
Speaker 4: bench in game for an offensive lineman. So I asked
Speaker 4: Frank Smith why is that? And his answer as always
Speaker 4: very detailed, very informative. Here's Dolphins OC Frank Smith.
Speaker 7: When you play in a group that's with you know,
Speaker 7: four of their guys and you're working together and having
Speaker 7: to communicate together to do accomplish a job, it's not
Speaker 7: like you're an individual. Like wide receivers can work in
Speaker 7: tandem or in groups as far as their pattern they're running.
Speaker 7: You know, running backs can work with the old line.
Speaker 7: Dolphinsive line of one of them is not in phase
Speaker 7: with the other. You know, it kind of sticks out.
Speaker 7: So the government in the middle of the game and
Speaker 7: be get into the swing of things and make sure
Speaker 7: you're communicating. They've they've already seen things going on in
Speaker 7: the game, so then may be a step ahead of
Speaker 7: you as far as the you know, the first thing
Speaker 7: that comes out of their mouth is like, yo, like
Speaker 7: I remember, you know, playing in college starting in three years,
Speaker 7: I mean by the end the center and the like.
Speaker 7: I didn't even I was like, hey, yep, like you
Speaker 7: don't even have to you don't even have to.
Speaker 3: Really say it.
Speaker 7: It is kind of sense because you're you already talked
Speaker 7: during the week, so you know exactly what you should,
Speaker 7: what the other guy's thinking. I mean, the more the
Speaker 7: closer you are, the better that occurs. So coming off
Speaker 7: the bench at that position, it is challenging, especially when
Speaker 7: you may have prepped here, there, everywhere, and then now
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, it's like, hey, well, by the
Speaker 7: way you're going out of here, you know. So I
Speaker 7: think that's a real challenge, and that's why they train
Speaker 7: they do. That's why we train the way we do
Speaker 7: to hopefully help them to be ready for those situations.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's go ahead and conclude this episode with the
Speaker 4: Week twelve picks a big week back in week eleven,
Speaker 4: eleven and three, we are so back losses in the
Speaker 4: Lac VERSUS Green Bay Game, Washington and New York, Minnesota,
Speaker 4: and Denver, but the eleven and three record brings us
Speaker 4: to one fifteen and fifty one on the year. That
Speaker 4: is sixty nine point three percent. Going closer to that
Speaker 4: seventy percent goal.
Speaker 2: We have heavy two.
Speaker 4: I forget, I don't care, but get over seventy is
Speaker 4: the goal right now, and I think these picks on
Speaker 4: Turkey Day might assuage me. Is that the right word
Speaker 4: for that goal to happen? Because I'm taking two touchdown
Speaker 4: underdogs on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: Give me a Green Bay over Detroit. I don't know why.
Speaker 4: I just feel like Detroit to do for a loss,
Speaker 4: especially after that comeback win over the Bears at home,
Speaker 4: a much inferior team. Jordan Love getting a little bit hotter,
Speaker 4: playing some better football here, still believe in his skill set.
Speaker 4: I will take the Packers on Turkey Day. Give me
Speaker 4: Dallas over Washington. Give me Seattle over San Francisco playing
Speaker 4: in that building on a short week for the Niners,
Speaker 4: A big game next week against the Eagles coming up.
Speaker 4: I don't know why, but give me the Seahawks with
Speaker 4: Gino Smith. Dolphins over Jets. Duh.
Speaker 2: Give me Houston over Jacksonville.
Speaker 4: I just don't think Jacksonville is I think that the
Speaker 4: national media narrative around Miami should be on Jacksonville.
Speaker 2: I think CJ. Stroud's great. I love Texans right now.
Speaker 4: Both teams make the playoffs, but Houston gets a big
Speaker 4: win and secures division lead with they win over Jacksonville.
Speaker 4: Give me a Pittsburgh over Cincinnati. I will not pick
Speaker 4: Jake Bryant to win any games year. Give me the
Speaker 4: Saints over the Falcons and the Battle of Mid. Give
Speaker 4: me the Titans over the Panthers, and another battle of
Speaker 4: less than mid. Give me Tampa Bay over Indy. Kind
Speaker 4: of the same story. A lot of that in the
Speaker 4: NFL right now. Give me the Patriots over the Giants
Speaker 4: in the big game. As far as quarterback availability in
Speaker 4: this year's draft, go Patriots in that one. Broncos over
Speaker 4: the Browns another game where I don't think either offense
Speaker 4: can do much, so another fun seventeen to thirteen game.
Speaker 4: I'll take the Broncos because they have Russell Wilson compared
Speaker 4: to a rookie in Dorian Thompson Robinson. Give me the
Speaker 4: Cardinals over the Rams. Kyler Murray's back, he's playing good.
Speaker 4: Both those defenses are horrible. I like his chance to
Speaker 4: make bigger plays than Matthew Stafford's behind a bad Rams
Speaker 4: offensive line. Give me the Eagles over the Bills and
Speaker 4: that would be a big victory for the Dolphins in
Speaker 4: the race for the AFC East Crown. To put this
Speaker 4: thing away in bet, put it to bed, I should
Speaker 4: say rather early, give me the Chiefs over the Raiders.
Speaker 2: Hopefully not.
Speaker 4: That's pretty obvious to me. Give me the Ravens over
Speaker 4: the Chargers. I hope the Chargers win that game, but
Speaker 4: I think the Ravens running attack is going to be
Speaker 4: way too much for that Chargers defense to handle. And
Speaker 4: then on Monday night, snoozer. But give me the be
Speaker 4: to get the upset over the Minnesota Bikings. All right,
