WEBVTT - The Audible Ep. 2 | Mike Tannenbaum 0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:08.119 I thought about podcast. We're here a second time out. 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.000 This is we're gonna call this audible podcast Season one 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:16.640 episode to Kimbo Camper, Joe Rose, John Conjemmy with us. 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.880 And since our last podcast dropped last week, been a 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:21.720 lot of stuff going on. Me and Joe were on 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.320 a cruise. By the way, I heard MSc Seaside Joe 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.159 and I when we we took our sea legs and 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.360 went out on the MSc Beautiful Cruise, beautiful boat out 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:34.240 there the seaside went to the Bahamas um seven day cruise. 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:35.919 Joe and I got off after three days. We went 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:37.959 to St. Thomas and flew home. So we can get 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.120 that way to do it. Though, you guys are dedicated. 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:41.680 We were thinking about standing, but most of the people 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:43.640 in the cruise go. Get rid of those assholes. Now 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.360 I'm tired of hearing them, I'm tired of seeing them. 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.360 I'm just gonna say, you had to wear the jerseys. 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:53.519 You know what I'm gonna ask. You know, I got 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:55.880 one night, the second night we're there, we're gonna go 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.920 take pictures. We gotta wear jerseys. I thought it was 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.160 dress up night, so I put a nice share on 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.200 a pair of slacks there, I slipped that jersey off. 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.880 For about two hours of taking pictures, I took that 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.800 shirt off. You could see my hairy ass back right 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.440 through my shirt. It was one of the biggest massive sweat. 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.720 He must lost five pounds. And by the way, night 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.119 boy went right down to the bar after they refill 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.600 up a little bit of those coupons. You're daring, right, 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.200 But anyway, I want to thank EMCs Cruise. It was 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.240 a good time, really good people, wonderful people. The staff 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.319 was excellent, the ship was beautiful, the weather was awesome. 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.920 The weather was awesome. By the way that the ocean 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:39.680 was like a lake, I thought it might be a 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.399 little chopp he was beautiful. So anyway, so that's what 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.240 Joe and I have been doing. We got a lot 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.039 of stuff on the program tonight. Our featured interview is 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.600 gonna be Mike Tannebaum, the executive vice president of football Operations. 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.560 Will Will, Joe John and I'll discuss what's going on 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.080 with the state of the Dolphins right now. Been something's happened, 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.920 uh since our last podcast. We'll get into that. And 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.080 by the way, if you're looking for the podcast, there's 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:02.520 a number of places you can catch. You can catch 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:06.280 it on Apple Music, Joe Dolphins dot com. You can 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.520 catch on the Miami Dolphins mobile app. You have the 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:13.120 mobile app that which you don't have an app here's 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:14.720 not having on it. I looked at Joe. I look 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.840 at Joe's phone yesterday because we're trying to get back 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:18.919 to the count to try to get him on Uber. 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.040 He doesn't know how to get it. Don't either. And 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.160 I looked he got no apps on his phone, so 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:28.160 I know he doesn't have the Miami does he doesn't? Anyway, 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.919 if you have, you're gonna go to June in Radio 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.160 with episodes dropping, we dropped every week Thursday or Friday morning. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.480 I think this one drops. I think this one is 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.400 dropping if you're listening to it right now. We're dropping 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.400 on this one on on Thursday, right Thursday morning. Drop 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.280 on this one, which is different from last week. We're 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.760 on Friday. So we're keeping you guessing. You're not gonna 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.760 know when it's gonna drop, but it's gonna drop somewhere. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:50.799 Sometimes it's gonna drop on our ass and it's gonna 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.000 hurt us. I know that, but that happened last Sure 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.000 to subscribe to the podcast, so you get notified when 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.880 new episodes are available. Uh. And again, as we said before, 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.160 we want to keep this interacting. Joe, I'm surprised we 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.799 got I think we got a bunch of questions from 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.880 fans that that that sent questions in last week. So 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.720 if you want to you want our questions, you want 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.840 your questions heard on the podcast, just go ahead. Send 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.560 him in. You can send him in via Twitter, Facebook, 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.080 anyway you can get to us. You've an email over here. 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.040 Do do whatever you want to get it on and 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.240 we'll get to those questions. But a lot of stuff 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.000 going on, Joe, uh and John this year and and 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.000 this this week. You know, last week was an active 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.840 week in free agency. That that that that that that waterfall, 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.480 that that that that the tsunami of free agent signings 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.880 and stuff is dried to a trickle. Now, well, there's 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.760 so much going on right and think about last week, 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.720 why we're doing this, why we're doing this thing, taping this. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.040 We we get a new center, we get a new 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.520 guard signed, and we lose our old center who's now 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.720 with the San Diego Chargers, Mike Pouncey. That all happened 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.400 within Yeah, that was with us. It happened within an 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.680 hour or two when we're doing the podcast, it popped up. 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.480 And so so Mike, Mike Pouncy, a guy that I 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.200 think he's universally uh really loved in this franchise and 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.720 liked on this team. Uh. He he makes the move, 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.880 he goes out and gets a new job with the 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.120 Sandy or the l A Chargers. He's out in l A. Uh. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.520 We get Daniel Kilgore from the San Francisco forty Ninersoe 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.160 who the forty Niners are just signed h a month ago, 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.719 a month ago to a nice contract, and so you 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.560 know he's not a guy they were ready to dump 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.280 off to kick off board. Uh, they just happened to 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.800 get another player. He became available, and the guys upstairs 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.840 jumped all over that. Yeah, they're talking about him if 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.880 if he didn't play, center's gonna be the backup center 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.919 and moved the guard. But they really liked him in 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.680 that package. And I just want to say this about 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.000 Mike Pouncey because talked about it on the radio as 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.599 well as how about Mike and what he was able 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.359 to get from the charge at surprise, I didn't know 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.080 how the physical is gonna go with the hip problems 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.760 he's had, but he got ten million guaranteed and taking 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.400 more money. Now. Yeah, and you know, I'm good friend. 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.240 I'm with Joe. I'm going man, you know, because look, 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.080 I like Mike. Mike has been nothing but great. And Joe, 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.280 You've been in the same situation whenever we've needed Mike 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:13.000 for a charity event or anything. Always they're always first 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.960 and foremost, always does the right thing. And so I 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.960 have a lot of admiration from Mike Pouncey. Uh And 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.479 and I'm glad he found a job out there. But 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.560 I was worried that, you know, with this hip thing, 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.839 all the procedures he's gone, the question can you practice 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.320 or not. I thought it was gonna be tough for 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.560 him to get a job. But the Chargers evidently did 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.720 their homework, went and say hey, hey, said, hey, you 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.159 made it last year. They must have a game plan 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.520 for him. And this is Mike Pouncey's healthy. He pretty 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.880 damn good. There's a road map out there for how 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.640 to treat Mike Pouncy going forward. And the Miami Dolphins 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.120 did that last year. You got sixteen games out of 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.960 Mike Pouncing. Now did that hurt any synergy. Not practicing 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.920 weekend in week out. Did that hurt a young offensive 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.120 line that was going through a lot of issues, Maybe, 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.480 but it sure helped one guy in the middle. You know, 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.919 it's a Pro Bowl center. When he's at his best, 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.400 he's a nasty individual that can get out in front 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.720 of stuff. So hey, the Chargers went through their evaluation, 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.600 they felt like they could sign him. They paid him 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.640 a lot of money. Two years down the line, let's 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.840 see how it goes. But for what Mike gave to 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.120 this organization, all you can say is thank you. And 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.960 the good thing is, we gotta we gotta starting we 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.960 gotta starting center and started a lot of games for 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.240 the forty Niners come here and then they go out 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.719 and get Josh Sitton, who played for the Green Bay Packers, 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.479 played for the Chicago Bears, multi time Pro Bowler, an 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.320 All Pro player, a guy that comes in and it 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.719 should solidify that guard on the left side next to 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.280 Laramy Tunsil, and all of a sudden, offensive line you know, 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.680 you know what was what? It was a question, a 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.200 big question mark about two weeks ago, all of a sudden, 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.240 you're looking at you bring Jown James back. If you 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.360 can get him playing the level you want. Hey, it 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.039 might not be a very bad my money might not 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.680 be a bad mix of guys to start to see 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.599 a solid group. Man, You've got some really good veterans. 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.000 I I like the group too. I think it's a 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.560 better offensive line right now than it was a year 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.680 ago when we were trying to figure out who is 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.520 gonna win all these different battles at guard and everything 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.040 else with guys injured. Right now, on paper, that offensive 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:15.720 line with with Jesse Davis potentially starter. Or you go 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.160 out and you maybe signed Sam Young again. You still 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:24.880 got Larsen around, You've got a lot of option you 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.920 you've increased your your quality of play at the at 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.880 the at the starting spot, and you've increased increased your depth, 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.239 which we've seen over the years. You need that offensive 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.880 line is of most important. Some other news here in 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.880 the program to uh de Marco Murray uh from the Titans. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.440 Dolphins worked him out. Not sure what the outcome of 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.520 that is. And also it looks like Baker Mayfield is 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.520 being reported that is going to get a private workout 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.280 with the Dolphins and somewhere sometime uh that that may happen. 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.520 So obviously the Dolphins still in line looking for a quarterback. 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.400 But the New York Jets may have thrown the biggest 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.520 monkey wrench in the in the draft out there when 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.440 they traded to move up to the third pick. Certainly's 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.840 gonna affect what the Dolphins do when it comes to eleven. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.360 And boy, I'll tell you what if there was a 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:05.840 team that thought they were in a pretty good position 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.160 with when it came to a quarterback with the Buffalo Bills, 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.400 and all of a sudden, now they might be sucking 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.160 high and tent with these guys behind the corner, and 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.240 think about the Bills moved up and we're feeling pretty good. 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.520 And then the Jets jump up a couple of spots 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.040 to three. The Bills know that if they're gonna get 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.160 into this, I still think they can jump up. They're 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.520 gonna have to give up a lot of picks. And 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.320 by the way, they got a lot. They got two ones, 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.840 two twos, and two threes. And then you can throw 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.200 in future picks as well. They may have to. Well, 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.000 speaking of free agency and all the guys that are 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.000 coming going, the guy that's pulling the trigger on this 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.559 besides Chris Greer, is the executive vice president of football Operations, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:45.240 Mike Tannebaum had a chance to catch up with him 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.959 joining us now Mike Tannebaum the executive vice president of 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.400 football Operations and Mike, uh got nothing to do these days? Huh. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.640 Hasn't been much going on in the last couple of weeks. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.280 it's been hectic, but it's been I think really good 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.679 for the organization. Um. You know, we've had a lot 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.720 of strech tch meets with Steve Ross, our owner, coach, 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.240 gaze Chrisker, our GM and you know, look, we went 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:06.959 six and ten and six and ten wasn't good enough 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.760 for anybody, and uh, it starts with us, and you know, 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.920 we felt like it was a great opportunity. You know, 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.880 that's the word we keep using. We have an opportunity 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.400 to get better. Um. With that, you have to make 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.800 hard decisions, and sometimes players move on that have contributed 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.480 and help get the program going. But um, you know, 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.520 our charge is still to do what's best for the organization. 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.440 And you know we've made some of those decisions all 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.600 with the view of what's best for us and and 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.400 moving forward and we're we're excited about the direction we're going. Well, 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.480 let's take a few steps back, Mike and kind of 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.040 go through the process here of of where we're at 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:38.800 now and what's going to be coming up with the 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.880 draft and everything. And I always look at the guys 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.920 like yourself, Chris Career, the general manager, mostly organizations in 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.000 the now. You guys are always looking into the future. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.600 You guys are two, three, four steps ahead of what's 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.319 going on with the season. And when you start going 0:09:55.400 --> 0:10:00.959 through the free agent stuff, including your guy and guys 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.040 that are out there that you may be interested in, 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.320 when does that research, When does all that stuff take 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.240 place so that when it comes time when the gates open, 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.880 that that you're ready to make the break out of 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.040 the gates. Yeah, I mean it really goes back probably 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.160 several years to be candid. You know, you signed guys 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.320 like Ryan Tannhill to an extension or guys like Kiko Alonso, 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.520 and it's all for trying to plan proactively literally, like 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.079 you go out a couple of years to try to 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.640 keep your nucleus together and you try to project cat 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.640 numbers and brand insure who heads up our contract negotiations 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.720 does a great job, and we try to put a 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.760 big picture plan of like hey, who can we keep 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.400 and and who you know maybe too costly? Where do 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.400 we have to draft? And then you know you can 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.440 talk about free agency, Kim. You know, the first means 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.640 we're back in December. You know, it's fight with scouting, 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.760 like you're talking about a guy you're really interested, it 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.920 sounds great. And then science an extension was on team 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:54.440 all right, crossing, and so it's really a process that 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.080 goes on. And like you said, I know, the coaches 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.160 are in the here and the now and we're you know, 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.760 curtainly trying and do as much strategic planning as possible. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.480 I would like to know, Mike, and I'm sure fans 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.080 would like to know how much different is the process 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.120 for free agency compared to when you're getting into the draft, 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.840 because it seems like they're both fluid. But yet, like 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.800 you said, the meeting started for free agency in December. 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.920 I'm sure the draft kind of goes year round as 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:21.240 you're evaluating different positions and different players, right, yeah, John, Um, 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.560 So the two thousand eighteen draft preparations started last May 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.360 when Chris took you know, most of the scouts and 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.360 went to the national meetings where we get like the 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.040 initial list for the following year, and like for us, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.719 we're adding players the whole year and look, unfortunately we 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.079 had the injury. You know, J. Cutler was signed in August. 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.760 But that's just illustrative of like the offseason sometimes like 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.079 a tiebreaker for us in terms of like, hey, when 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.960 we're gonna sign a player in free agency, maybe like 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.880 well if we hit pause here, we think it's pretty 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.800 deep in the draft. And again, you know it's there 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.240 an exact science, so they are both fluid. John, I 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:53.839 think that's a great way to put it, and we 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.680 just try taking as much information as possible. And then 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.000 with that said, we also try to be opportunistic. And 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.240 a good example that was a J. Derby. So A J. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.439 Derby was on the waiver wire back in the fall. 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.400 We were able to claim him and he's a guy 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.360 that you know, we think can really contribute this year. 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.440 You know, that may make the difference between you know, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.000 signing another player. Yeah, exactly. So again that's just a 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.800 lutionship of the fact that you know, this goes on 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.719 the whole offseason. You so at just points with free 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.480 agency going on, certainly that's what's at the forefront right 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.640 now with the draft following soon behind does the draft 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.520 you put on the shelf for a little bit right now, 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.600 as far as probably you and Chris, I'm sure your 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.200 college scouts guys are still doing their stuff, but from 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.719 your standpoint, let's put this on the shelf. Let's get 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.640 through this period of a couple of weeks, and then 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.000 we'll bring that back down and refine our focus back 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.520 on that again. Yeah, they both actually go on. Um, 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.040 so you know Pro days are going on. We're covering those. 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.080 You know, we try to watch you know games, you 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.120 know when we can. You know, it's there's a lot 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:50.200 going on though, you know, a lot of a lot 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.320 of moving parts this time of year. But we have 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.520 the scouts coming back in, you know, in another ten days, 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:56.679 and um, the draft will be here before we know it. 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.120 Let's talk about some of the guys in free agency. 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.440 There are a lot of them around the NFL, not 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.880 only with the Miami Dolphins, but when you focus in 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.920 on what we're concerned about a lot of key signings. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.800 You get Albert Wilson, you get Danny Amndola at the 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.880 slop position. Uh, you get a couple of linemen and 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.520 sitting and kill Gore, Robert Quinn comes over in a 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.040 trade before free agency. So there's a lot of interesting 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.560 parts to this team, a lot of new faces that 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:26.560 are gonna hopefully build upon what's what's left in the building. Yeah, 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.920 and uh yeah, just we could touch on these guys. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.000 You know, we wanted to bring in guys that were accomplished. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:32.480 We had a number of guys that playing the Super 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.800 Bowl and sitting at Amadola had actually won Super Bowls 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.720 that that was important to us. But you know, starting 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.680 with Amadola, obviously he was a guy that we struggled 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.920 defending for a number of years, a very talented and productive, 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.120 you know, slot receiver. Obviously, with Jarvis Landry moving on, 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:46.880 that was gonna be a need. And you know, Jarvis 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.719 was obviously super productive for us and played well here 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.360 for a number of years. Um, so we felt fortunate 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.880 to get Danny Um. You know, in terms of Albert Wilson, 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.440 maybe not a household name, but he's young, he's fast, 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.520 he's ascending, he's versatile, he could play inside it out. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.240 It will be a lot of fun to see how 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.080 the coaches use him. And again that's a position where 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.280 the way we'd like to play, like having depth of 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.000 that position is really important. So to King Grant's coming 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.240 back and he stills back to pante Parkins coming back 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.199 like that. That group is one that you know, you 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.280 always feel like you can't have enough depth. It gives 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.760 you flexibility terms of formations, in terms of what Adam 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.680 wants to do offensively. Uh, you can play with the 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.160 tight end and some of the times you might not 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.800 with his many guys we have that play at a 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.960 high level. That's right. Like you talked about some of 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.360 the guys with some of the guys that have gone. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.800 You talked about Jarvis and Dominican Sue, Mike pouncey. Um, 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:40.520 those are moves that I'm assuming you you don't take lightly. Um, 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.320 how does that conversation? Who's involved in that conversation? When 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.320 when you look at these guys and there's look like 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.120 every like anything you do in life, whatever you do, 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.640 there's certain things you do well, there's certain things you don't. 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.840 Sue do well. Does this over overcome this? Does that 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.720 overcome that? How do you guys go through that evaluation 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.119 on somebody that you know extremely well? It's been productive 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.480 for you, They're quite Frankie might look at you, I 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.040 like this guy like the way he plays. I like 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.880 the way he does this, but right now, for whatever reason, 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.120 whether it's financial, whether it's something else, it's just not 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.800 the right fit for where we want to go. Uh, 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.680 that's gotta be a pretty that's gotta be a pretty 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.440 uh difficult conversation we have with those guys. Some guys 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.400 pretty easy. Yeah, this guy's kind of you know, he's 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.520 run his course, would go. But guys like that who 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.720 are key players and going to be key players somewhere else, 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:28.600 it's gonna be a tough decision for you guys to 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.080 uh to to work through. Yeah, yeah, no question. Steve 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.120 Kerr so and I've had the pro game to know 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.080 pretty well. You know, he talked about it from a 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.320 player and coach standpoint. He goes, you know, the great 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.520 parts of these jobs you do for free. You know, 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.240 when you play in an arena, everyone's cheering for you. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.800 You do do those things for free. You get paid 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.200 all that money when it comes to the responsibility of hey, 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.040 a player gets traded, like those hard conversation that that's 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:52.920 that's what you get paid to do. Like And I 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.080 was thought that was like great context. And Mike Palency 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.040 and Dominan, Sue, Jarvis Landry. You know, those were guys 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.920 that were productive here. A couple of those guys were 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.000 drafted here, played a long time, Mike and Jarvis in particular. 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:05.960 You know, we're here for a long time. Played hurt 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.640 helped us get to the playoffs two years ago, and 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.560 we have a lot of respect for what they accomplished. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.560 With that said, we have to make decisions that's best 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.880 for us, and we know sometimes they're not gonna be 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.000 the most popular decisions. But as you mentioned earlier, John, 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.440 like sometimes you have to look at, hey, where you're 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:22.960 gonna be in six months, where you're gonna be in 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.680 a year, um, And what can we get to replace 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.479 the player? What resources are gonna have to be allocated, 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.360 And these are really really hard decisions and communicating those 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.240 decisions are hard. And I always say to myself, like 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.200 that's okay, you know, like when you make those calls 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.400 and it hurts, like you know, we're humans, Like we're 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.960 making decisions as professionals and we've got to make the 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.880 right decision, but as human being, like sometimes those those 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.080 are hard conversations to have. We always talk about like 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:48.840 the labor Day weekend, you know when your roster gets 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.680 cut down, like, those are difficult conversations to have. Unfortunately, 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.720 that's part of the business. And you know, the fans certainly, 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.480 they're they're they're all over this thing. And and you 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.480 can find yourself in an in a no win situation 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.760 and give him Dominan sue because I've heard this conversation 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.679 over and over again. Geez, you know, Dominican sue. Great player, Uh, 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.240 paying too much money for that position, blah blah blah, 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.680 this and that and this and that, and then the 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.080 moment that you let him go, jeez, he's our mess 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.200 player him. What are we doing? I mean, so it's 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.920 you know, I think, but but I mean, look, look, 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.480 fans are fans and and and they love the team 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.439 and they want to support the team and this and that, 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.159 and they embrace guys that are here, but sometimes they're disgruntled. 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:30.399 But then when they leave on well, why are you 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.720 getting I don't envy the position you're in sometimes because 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.560 quite frankly, it really is a knowing situation until six 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.760 months down the road when you find out that, hey, 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.440 you know what, those are pretty good moves now, but 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.359 you know it's a knee jerk kind of a situation. 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.919 It's a knee knee jerk world that we live in 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.119 in this environment. Yeah, and one thing I would like 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.000 to add guys to this conversation, which is, you know, 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.000 we have a ninety man roster right now, we're talking 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.640 about five six seventy players. The greatest improvement our team 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.679 will have this year is from the players that are 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.400 in the building that will get you get coached and developed. 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.320 And there's a lot of unsung stories that will come out, 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.040 you know, when we get to training camp and the improvement. 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:08.560 Like so, if we were sitting here a year ago, 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.240 we would say, well, Xavian Howard boy, you know, he 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.760 flashed them, but we really don't know. Well, yeah, we 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.960 felt really good and and and and Xavians a piece 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.679 of our team that should be foundationally here for a 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.040 long time. And there's a couple of guys that we feel, 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.720 in particular, have a chance to really take the next step. 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.480 And that's maybe hard to explain in March, but when 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.120 we put the pads on in August, you know where 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.639 you know, we're encourage where the trajectory of some of 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.960 these young players are going. And those are our factors 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.879 because you've got to fill a lot of these needs 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.199 from within. That's the only way to have sustainability in 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.480 our system. And that leads me to a question that 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.000 in a title in Miami Dolphins tender three exclusive rights 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.360 free agents. So a couple of days ago, Mike call, 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.600 Jake Brendall, Jordan Lucas. What does that mean, Mike, exclusive 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.760 right free agents? And how you keep those guys? How 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:58.760 how you offer them or protect from others? Yeah, yeah, no, 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.520 it's a great question. So base Lee, Uh, that's what 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.000 we're simp fire things. But like three big buckets of players, 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.719 so unrestricted free agency. So that's the player that's been 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.720 the league for four more seasons whose contract has expired 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.200 to go to the market restricted free agent, and someone 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:16.040 who has three accrued seasons who their contract has expiring, 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:17.840 and we could put a tender on them depending on 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.199 what round they've you know, came in, or you can 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.760 actually enhance a tender depending on how the value. Yeah, exactly. 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.240 And then if a player has been the league has 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.600 less than three accrued seasons but his contract has expired, 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.080 you could keep him basically at his minimum, but you 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:34.560 have to tender him. And that's what we did with 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.680 those three guys, and in talking about building within, he's 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.720 one of those guys you resigned Walt Aikin's you get 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.120 William Hayes back. So you've got to keep that nucleus 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.399 because it's just not all free agency or the draft. 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.240 You have to build your team from the roster that 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.040 you have from last season. Yeah, and again, you know 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.600 Iffi Hunt our pro personel director. He does a great job. 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:53.960 And again, when you pick up a guy like a J. Derby, 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.280 it's not a household name, it's not a huge but 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.520 you know he's going to serve a role, and that's 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.040 a role. That's one less resource we have to go pick, 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:03.440 you know, in the draft or sign in free agency. 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.359 And again it really takes like the whole year in 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:10.040 terms of the approach of like claiming players, signing players late, 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.080 and then you know, try to keep them, you know, 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.320 for as long as you can, as long as it's 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:16.960 you know, makes sense. And guys like that, you know, 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.840 I would think the coaching staff and the scouts and 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:23.440 your personnel that report to you did a really good 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.359 job finding a guy like that because he he was 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.240 inserted right away into the lineup last year. You know, 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.479 he's he's on the fast track to learn the offense, 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.760 he gets put in games, and he's at a position 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.600 where everybody's focusing at. Well, maybe we need a tight 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:39.439 end in free agency, maybe we need a tight end 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.720 in the draft, and maybe there's a guy there later on. 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.040 But when you have confidence in a guy like a 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.879 j Derby who's proven it elsewhere. I think he was 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.320 in New England and he was in Denver potentially came 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.639 to us, you have confidence and maybe the fan doesn't 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:56.040 realize he's on your roster already. That's right now exactly. 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.320 You know, Jesse Davis is another guy. Jesse has a 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.960 great future with us. And you know, again, you just 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:02.320 can't go out there and say, hey, where you go 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.280 get spent all this money on guards? Like you know, 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:05.960 Jesse was a guy that you know, we were able 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:09.680 to sign um. He was kind of under the radar 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.920 and then he was on a practice squad. We got him. Uh, 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.080 he had to try out, and he's he has a 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.800 great future with us, great flexibility, yes, yeah, tackle guard 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.760 flex and uh, you know again another maybe not a 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.200 household name, but by the time we get to August September, 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:27.360 you know, I think Jesse Davis will be yeah, that's right. Sure, 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.240 I'm assuming you go you go into free agency with 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:33.439 a roadmap, um and and that roadmap as soon as 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:36.320 the bell ringing, that roadmap starts changing and this guy's gone, 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:40.040 that guy's available, this guy's that um and then that's 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.160 gotta be uh. I mean, I mean that that's gotta 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:45.360 be a minute by minute, hour by hour, uh, constant 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:48.919 job of keeping up with. And a good example is 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.000 a is a kid from uh that you got from 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:55.639 San Francisco killed. Here's the guy that just kind of 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:57.760 popped up because they went out and got they went 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:00.360 out and paid for another center. Here is a guy 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:02.440 that they had just given a contract to that's available 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:07.320 out there. And so that that quick change creates opportunities 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:09.880 or can put you in in a bad situation based 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:12.600 on your guys. You know that someone goes out and 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:14.880 and makes a play for that, then maybe you didn't 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:18.080 quite expect. That's Kim. That is incredibly well said. You know, 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:20.760 going back a couple of weeks before that. You know, 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:23.000 if we sat here in January and you guys would 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:27.160 say that Robert Quinn and Daniel Kilgore would be you know, 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:30.200 like you guys are crazy, especially in Kilgore's case. You 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.680 sign an extension with with San Francisco a month ago. 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.879 So one of the things we're always preaching is we 0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:40.080 need flexibility, flexibility, flexibility. So having that flexibility allows to 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:43.960 go get Quinn, you know, young pass Rusher under contract 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.240 for the next couple of years. Those guys are impossible 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.359 to find, and we were like, wow, this is a 0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:51.879 great opportunity for us. Guy like Kilgore. We get a text, 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:53.679 you know, Kim you talking about Then in mind minute, 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:57.240 we get a text, it was late late at night saying, hey, 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.920 we just got you know, another center Western rich Burg. Uh, 0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:03.840 this guy is unexpectedly available. You know, what are your thoughts? 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:07.959 So Chris and I scramble quickly get together, look at it. Um, 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:10.560 you know, we're trying to talk to you know, Josh Sitton, 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:12.399 and it kind of all all the pieces, you know, 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:14.960 you try to put them together and make the best decisions. 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:17.840 And then likewise, you know, guys that we have, you know, 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:19.840 are gonna take visits and sign other places. You know, 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.560 Corode Parky signs a contract with Chicago and you know, 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:25.719 we thank him for last year, and you know, now 0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:27.880 we've gotta move on to the you know, the next kicker. Mike. 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:30.920 You talk about flexibility in terms of being able to 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.400 make decisions, like you said, in the middle of the night, 0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:35.040 somebody gives you a text and you're trying to make 0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:38.919 and evaluate and an educated decision. But what happens with 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.400 flexibility when you have guys on the roster and you're 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:44.200 going to Rashad Jones, You're going to Ryan Tanniel and say, hey, guys, 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:46.760 we need to tweak something because it's gonna give us 0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:49.800 more flexibility to make our team better. How does that 0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:52.880 process work? Because I think the fan doesn't really know 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.480 how that works, right, So that's all part of a 0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:58.520 longer term plan in terms of like how dollars are counted, 0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:01.240 either like in a basel or you can parade it 0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.680 out which would lower your cap number for this year 0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:06.359 and added in future years. And so we're very careful 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:10.200 how we do that because we have certain sort of like, um, 0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.560 we kind of put like I would say, like kind 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:14.880 of check marks and like baselines of where we want 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:17.720 to be in terms of dollars. So we always have flexibility, 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:19.960 and that's something we always talk about is making sure 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:22.280 that we don't have too many cap charges in any 0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:24.760 one year, and we try to balance it out. So again, 0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:27.800 if you look at our cap situation last year for 0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:29.720 this year, people will be like, oh, that could be tight. 0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:32.000 And we knew there was gonna be certain opportunities and 0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:34.520 that's why you know we're sitting here able to you know, 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:38.119 go get yeah, and go get Robert Quinn. Right. Likewise, 0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:39.920 you know, for next year, we've already kind of built 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:42.320 in like, Okay, here's what we think is gonna happen. 0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:44.760 This player's contract is gonna be up that, you know, 0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:47.760 and start looking at those variables and candidly, like even 0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:50.919 in the draft, like hey, if we get this player, 0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:53.639 he can sit on the bench for a year and 0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:55.199 then he has to go in and play, you know, 0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:57.240 And you see that all the time, you know, around 0:24:57.240 --> 0:25:00.000 the league in terms of you know, draft choices. Sometimes 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.600 you know they're not evaluated, you know, publicly, because you know, 0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:04.320 play in year one, all of a sudden, the guy 0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:07.440 in front of them leaves to become a free agent. Now, yeah, 0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:09.800 that's right. Speaking of the draft, you know, when you 0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:12.800 kind of go through the the free agent process, when 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:15.159 it's all said and done and you know, it becomes 0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:17.359 a trickle rather than a you know, a flood of 0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:19.840 free agents out there, and you kind of start going 0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:24.040 back to the draft. Does your draft board change based on, hey, 0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:25.600 look we filled this new you know that we got 0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:28.040 a center, we've got a guard. We feel like we've 0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:29.680 got a center. We feel like we've got a guard. 0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:34.200 We feel like we found this position. Um. Does that 0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.400 does your does your your draft board become a little 0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:40.119 more fluid at that point? Yeah? So you know, philosophically, 0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:41.880 you know, you want to leave the grades the way 0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:43.960 they are, and Chris and I talked about that all time, 0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:46.679 and Chris has a fantastic job, but you know, like 0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:48.479 we want to give them the grades that they deserve. 0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:50.400 The coaches getting involved this time of year, of course, 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:52.800 we want to get their thoughts and views on things. Um. 0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:55.240 But I think to your question, Kim, like it does 0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.879 affect your strategy and look, in a perfect world, if 0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:00.040 you want to take the highest rated guy and a 0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:02.800 position and need but to be you know, like I 0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:04.879 always like to say, if it's close or the tiebreaker 0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:06.520 is going to be based on need, but you know 0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:08.400 you're not gonna take a third round tight end over 0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:10.560 a first round guard because you need a tight end. 0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:13.119 Like that's just not you know that that doesn't make 0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:14.719 a lot of sense, but you do want to use 0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:16.760 it as a tidebreaker. And those are you know, the 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:18.960 conversations will be having like for the next month for sure. 0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:20.679 Like one of one of the things the words that 0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:23.640 uh that it has been floated around since free agency 0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:27.480 was culture. You know, change of culture, change of things. 0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:30.560 And and I you know, at least when I try 0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:34.080 to to to kind of figure out what that is. Um, 0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:36.919 it's funny because I was with I was with Larry's 0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.280 uncle last week and talking to him about some stuff, 0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:41.600 and he said, he said, you know, you know what 0:26:41.600 --> 0:26:44.480 what makes a winning team? When you get players where 0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:46.920 winning football games is more important than how much money 0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:50.639 they make, then you've got something going for you. Is 0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:52.280 that kind of where you're looking at when you talk 0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:54.400 about culture change? Give me those guys you just love 0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:57.040 to play football, that want to be out here and 0:26:57.040 --> 0:27:00.280 then have the philosophy that to me, I think is 0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:01.800 a philosophy. Look, let me just go and play the 0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:04.040 best I can and if I play good enough, the 0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:06.200 money's gonna follow me. Right that that will take care 0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:08.680 of its own self, right. Yeah, Well, a couple of thoughts. 0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:09.879 You know. First of all, like I think there is 0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:12.320 a good foundation here. You know, we want ten games, 0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:15.480 you know, with with this coach, with this quarterback, we're 0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:18.040 really excited about that um obviously last year and go 0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:21.240 the way we did. And I'm always like focused on 0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:24.320 moving forward. So I'm about let's keep bringing the guys 0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:26.920 that we were we're looking for. And I know I've 0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:28.840 heard other people use those terms, Kim, but I'm much 0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:30.960 more about looking forward and let's just keep doing it. 0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:33.960 And I'm telling like Chris and Adam are both outstanding 0:27:34.000 --> 0:27:36.320 at this, like the guys we've brought in, like the 0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:39.720 guys we've drafted. There's a great young nucleus of good 0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:42.000 people and we're just gonna keep adding to it. And 0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:45.320 some people are gonna leave, and they leave because for 0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.359 a myriad of reason. Some we can control, some we 0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:50.240 can But I'm much more focused on moving forward. And sure, 0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:52.840 you know, I think in pro football, you know, there 0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:54.919 there's a balance, like we all have families defeat, Like, 0:27:54.960 --> 0:27:57.040 this is a business, this is how people are in 0:27:57.080 --> 0:27:59.520 a living. With that said, you also want to be 0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:01.399 able to tell are somebody in a half and you 0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:03.280 want to see what oozes out there, and you hope 0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:05.800 the first thing you see his competitiveness, because you know, 0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:08.120 and that goes to a little bit to Zaka's point, 0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:11.240 and there's nothing wrong with want to make a lot 0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:13.439 of money, like again, this this is a profession. But 0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:15.960 with that said, you also want people that love football, 0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:18.080 are tough and smart, and you're right when when when 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.160 the team successful, that's gonna benefit everybody. Well, you've been around. 0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:23.520 I mean they looked quite frankly, and I've seen guys 0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:26.600 this team, other teams over there over the last decade 0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.000 or two decades since free agency came in. You know, 0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:30.919 there's certain guys that you you, you you put some 0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:33.440 money in their pocket and they kind of shift into neutral. 0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:35.560 You know, hey, I got my money. I don't know, 0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:38.400 maybe I won't stay out dextra longer practice or I'm 0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:40.640 not gonna go work out this day. And then there's 0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:42.560 the other guys out there that you could give them. 0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:45.200 You can give them ten billion dollars and they're gonna 0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:47.200 work as hard and is is and and be as 0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:51.160 competitive and do everything's finding those guys more of those guys, 0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:53.920 then those other guys is seems to be the key 0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:56.560 to the game, no question, and we spend a lot 0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:58.160 of time on that. And you know, one of the 0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:01.520 things that we talked about is, uh, you know, especially 0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:04.120 like with these colleges, like with the draft of college preparation, 0:29:04.280 --> 0:29:06.680 is how they treat the guys that can't help them. 0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:08.840 So like our scouts are talking to the trainers and 0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:11.960 the equipment guys, like that's really important to us. Mike, 0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:14.160 you've been at this a long time. Is it tough? 0:29:14.240 --> 0:29:18.520 Sometimes too temper your excitement about you feel really good 0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:21.000 about what you're doing, but you still know that there's 0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:25.240 more work to do. Is that a tough thing to gauge? Yeah? 0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:27.160 I think it's just kind of like you have to 0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:29.960 be a little you know, coach parselves. You to say 0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:31.800 like this is a for profession for the not normal 0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:35.880 don't And I would just say, you know, it takes 0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:40.640 a certain personality of never being satisfied, you know. So hey, 0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:42.680 look when you when you do something and you get 0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:44.720 you know, and you're in a competitive situation and you're 0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:47.040 trying to get you know, Josh Sitting, or you're competing 0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:49.080 with two other teams to get Robert Quinn like yeah, 0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:51.920 do we fist bump, Yeah, yeah, And that feels good 0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:54.080 for ten to fifteen seconds, and then you're done and 0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:55.959 then you're like, oh no, what's next? You know, like 0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:58.000 what's the next opportunity, what's the next decision, what's the 0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.400 next meeting? You know, the draft to someone the way 0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:03.840 you know, and there's a lot of the things going 0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:06.280 on in your building with you know, your staff, and 0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:07.880 you know there's you know, there's a lot of things 0:30:07.880 --> 0:30:10.080 going on. So you know, like I said, you get 0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:13.120 ten to fifteen seconds of joy and elation and that's right. 0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:17.160 Basically you basically turned into a coach at after a 0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:20.280 win during the season, you kind of celebrate, you kind 0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:22.400 of go around and get your thoughts out, and then 0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:24.320 you're moving on to the next one. Yeah. Yeah, And 0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:25.960 I think it's just the mindset, you know, goes back 0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:28.560 to coach park Parcels. He talked about a lot. It's 0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:31.120 just a mindset of saying like, Okay, what's next, and 0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:33.760 really never to be satisfied and look, you know, there's 0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:34.960 a lot of work for us to do. You know 0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:37.280 what I saw Coach Parcel's last weekend. I was playing 0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:39.800 golf up at MacArthur, up a hope sound and he 0:30:39.880 --> 0:30:42.480 refers to me as as a thief because of the 0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:46.760 company that I keep. So he he recited something something 0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:48.880 it took him about twenty seconds to say, and I 0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:50.440 looked at my partner and said, I think he was 0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:53.240 talking to you because he wasn't talking to me, because 0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:56.760 he's great at that. He's when I've played golf with him, 0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:59.720 he doesn't talk to his partner the opposition for at 0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:01.880 least four or five holes, and if you talk to him, 0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:04.320 he's mad at you. He said, don't talk to them. 0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:08.360 We're that was at your opponent. So he's great. It's 0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:10.960 funny you say that. And I followed this to this day, 0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:13.040 which was you know, I was around coach in my 0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:16.440 formative years and very fortunate that he gave me a 0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:20.440 chance much earlier than I ever deserved. And he used 0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:22.959 to talk to us in the staff about how one 0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:26.080 of the things that really annoyed him was the pregame routine. 0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:28.440 And to this day it's still instilled to me, like 0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:30.360 I don't go over and say hello to the opponent. 0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:32.320 You know, I know a lot of my peers are 0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:34.440 on the sidelines, and it was just something he taught 0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:37.080 me on like, we're there to beat him. We're not 0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:40.320 there to fratt nize. It's we're here to beat him. 0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:42.240 You can talk to him after the game, but why 0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:43.800 are you talking to somebody that you're trying to beat? 0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:46.360 And like to this day, that's like been instilled in me. 0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:47.760 And that was my first thought when you when you 0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.320 signed Danny Danny Amondola. So I hated that guy for 0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:53.520 five years standard for five years. Now I love him. 0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:55.400 That's how I love the guy. And in fact, that's 0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:56.680 the first thing I said to him that when I 0:31:56.680 --> 0:32:00.000 met him. We've talked about about you were talking about 0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:03.640 Chris and players and personnel. Where do the coaches get 0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:06.600 involved in this? Now you go out and uh, you 0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:10.200 get a Robert quinn Um, you you take away in 0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:13.120 and Dominican Sue. You've got Charles Harris coming back, you 0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:16.440 got Andre Brandts come back, You've got the young defensive tackles. 0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:18.480 But do you do you do at some point do 0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:21.160 you sit down with coaching the coaches say, hey, you 0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:23.400 know what we we somehow we need to find more 0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.240 pass for us. We need to be we need to 0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:28.760 put more pressure on the quarterback and so that the conversation, Okay, 0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:31.840 does that mean, okay, we go more defensive ends. I 0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:33.840 remember watching the Giants when they think when the Giants 0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:35.760 won the Super Bowl, I think for a lot of 0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:38.160 time they line up with four or five defensive ends, 0:32:38.480 --> 0:32:40.560 you know, in the passing situations. I think I think 0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:42.840 we played against the Giants one year. The Dolphins, I 0:32:42.840 --> 0:32:44.920 think they put six defensive ends out in the football 0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:47.720 field at one time and they were all coming. So 0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:51.760 that's a philosophical thing. Do you how does that conversation 0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:54.560 go with the coaches during or a while this process 0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:56.600 is going on, Yeah, no question, Like uh, And and 0:32:56.640 --> 0:32:58.440 I'm just a great job with the staff, get their 0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:01.600 feedback and understand like how they see things, and that 0:33:01.640 --> 0:33:05.320 helps formulate, you know, our ability to make the best decisions. Um, 0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:06.960 because like you said him, like there's a lot of 0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:09.840 different ways to you use guys and people. When I say, like, oh, 0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.080 you just signed you know William Hayes and he's a 0:33:12.120 --> 0:33:14.400 defensive and well you know, maybe there's a package where 0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:17.480 he's gonna gonna be move around and you know, our 0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:21.040 competitors can see that. Come September, Mike, uh drafts coming 0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:24.360 up after this draft comes up, uh, and draft creates 0:33:24.360 --> 0:33:29.120 other other situations. Are there fluidity within the draft of 0:33:29.120 --> 0:33:31.560 of players. Are you looking for players getting picked, players 0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:33.840 taken before you expect them to come, waiting for them 0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:35.880 to fall down, trying to decide do I move up? 0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:39.840 All those things that, uh, certainly come into fruition. And 0:33:39.880 --> 0:33:42.120 I think in most fans mind it's all they all 0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:43.960 they see is the first round and after that it's 0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:45.680 you know, let me, let me, let me go about 0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:48.480 my business. But it's something that goes on from the 0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:50.920 first pick in the draft to the very last pick, 0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:53.520 then into the free agency coming out of out of 0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:55.760 the draft, the college free instead are out there. Yeah, 0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:58.240 that's right. And uh, you know other things I've learned 0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:00.680 is if you're drafting out eleven, there's guys you have 0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:04.640 to have, if you're if you're you know, that's that's 0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:08.520 something that you can certainly bank on every year. And look, 0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:10.080 this may be a great year of trade back. You 0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.520 never know, you just never know. Um, we want to 0:34:12.600 --> 0:34:15.319 leave ourselves flexibility. We have five picks in the first 0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:18.439 four rounds. Um, that was important to us and we'll 0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:20.319 see how it goes. You know, could we move up 0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:22.520 three four spots. Absolutely, can we move back you just 0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.000 we'll see how that sorts out. Um. You know, there's 0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:27.239 always been a lot of talk about you know, you know, 0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:29.440 all these quarterbacks this year, and I'm sure there will 0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:31.400 be a big part of the narrative as we get closer. 0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:33.440 But you know, for us, we at this point, you know, 0:34:33.480 --> 0:34:35.520 seeing you know, a little over a month away, we 0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:38.640 just want to be prepared, put our roster get the 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:40.480 best wee can. I always say, hey, can we go 0:34:40.520 --> 0:34:42.719 out and go play a game before the draft? You know, 0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:45.040 can we go line up and go play with with 0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:47.919 a roster that we like? And then what that does, 0:34:47.960 --> 0:34:50.279 guys is and I think this is important, is you 0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:52.760 want to operate in the draft from a position of strength, 0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:54.480 because if you go in there and say, like, oh 0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:57.560 we need yeah, like we just lost John James and 0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:00.399 like are starting right tackles in the draft, Like, that's 0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:02.279 not a good feeling going in there, because there's so 0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:05.080 much you can't control that has to be I would 0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:09.200 think that's one of the main things as an organization 0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:11.520 you want to feel. You go into the draft night 0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:15.160 thinking we're okay, that's right, okay with this scenario, We're 0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:17.400 okay with that. That's exactly you have Plan A B 0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:20.359 C all the way down. Feeling you know you're you're 0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:24.520 okay because you did enough with your core players, resigning 0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:27.319 your core guys and being able to be flexible in 0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:30.440 free agency to maybe mask some things you don't have 0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:33.279 to depend on come April. That's right. I totally agree 0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:36.480 with that. It's just you. You wanna not be beholden 0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:40.200 to any one situation if you could avoid it. Hey, Mike, uh, 0:35:40.840 --> 0:35:45.359 where we sit right now? Um uh? And when you 0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:48.719 take a snapshot of your football team right now and 0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:51.520 you talk about the free agent changes that have made 0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:55.480 prior to the draft. Um, you got Ryan Tannehill coming back, 0:35:55.520 --> 0:36:00.000 you re Kwon McMillan coming back, you resigned William Hayes. Um, 0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:02.440 you talk about a J Derby what you did. And 0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.319 you talk when we first started talking having this conversation, 0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:07.239 you said, you know everyone, you know, you're looking at 0:36:07.280 --> 0:36:10.080 the top five or ten guys on your roster, but 0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:12.239 it's the guys that are down there from you know, 0:36:12.320 --> 0:36:15.439 from from eleven to fifty three that are probably gonna 0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:18.200 shape what your football teams about. When you take that 0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:21.040 snapshot now of what the projected fifty three might be 0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:24.120 right now after what you've done, how do you feel 0:36:24.120 --> 0:36:26.919 about where your organization and your football teams at Again, 0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:28.440 like I said earlier, you know, coming off of six 0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:29.799 and ten, there's a lot of work to be done. 0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:32.839 We're excited about the new additions, Kim, like, we think 0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:35.240 they're good fits for us for the reasons we've talked about. 0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:37.920 And again we can celebrate that for a second, and 0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:40.120 there's just more work to be done. And I think 0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:42.440 that's just our personalities and that's what we owe, you know, 0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:44.280 to Steve Ross, That's what we owe to our fans 0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:47.000 that you know, there there's we're gonna keep working and 0:36:47.040 --> 0:36:49.520 to be candidate. It was really the mindset after you know, 0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:51.440 go in the playoffs, Like that's just the mindset we're 0:36:51.440 --> 0:36:54.120 always gonna have here, you know, not to be complacent, um, 0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:57.040 be opportunistic when we can, and keep identifying the right 0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.200 types of guys for us, and that doesn't mean the 0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:02.000 guys you know can't for other places, and keep working 0:37:02.000 --> 0:37:04.359 hard to look for good opportunities. When do you get 0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:06.239 a break? When do you get a little vacation here? Yeah, 0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:08.200 the reason I'm asking because John and I want to 0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:09.879 get you quick when you when when you first get 0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:11.600 your your first trip out of the golf course. I 0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:14.239 think it'd be easy money. Yeah, you know, kay, maybe 0:37:14.280 --> 0:37:16.080 we could, uh, you know, get out the weekend after 0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:22.480 the draft. There you go, there you go. You talk 0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:24.879 about a one armed paper hanger. Over the last couple 0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:27.000 of weeks with with him and Chris Greer and and 0:37:27.000 --> 0:37:29.440 and everything they've been going through. That that's free agent frenzy. 0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:33.000 Gotta be pretty gotta be pretty testy times, testy times 0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:35.080 for those guys. Well, you think all all the pressure 0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:37.400 that's on you year round and produce a winner. You 0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:40.120 have to find guys. You have to find synergy, not 0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:42.239 only in the front office, but you gotta make that 0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:45.120 translate in getting the right people on the field. And 0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:46.719 there's a lot of pressure that comes with it, but 0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:48.440 that's what you sign up for when you when you're 0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:50.200 getting the big bucks and you're sitting at the top 0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:53.319 of an organization, that's the opportunity for you to make 0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:55.360 a change and make a change in a positive direction. 0:37:55.640 --> 0:37:57.800 So you go out and you get guys like Danny 0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:01.000 Amadol and Albert Wilson and sitting and and Kill Gore 0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:04.040 you trade for Quinn. You try to get the best 0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:07.920 mixture of talent on your roster and then who works 0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:09.719 well with others. You know, I know we're gonna get 0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:12.720 into some other topics on the defensive side, but on offense, 0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:15.400 it looks like the moves that the Miami Dolphins made, 0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:18.200 we're good ones. You have to replace Jarvis Landry, you 0:38:18.200 --> 0:38:20.759 have to replace all those catches. Well, maybe it's not 0:38:20.840 --> 0:38:23.640 one guy, maybe it's two, maybe it's four, maybe it's 0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:25.640 it's a tight end that's not on this roster yet, 0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:27.799 but you have to be able to produce and be 0:38:27.840 --> 0:38:30.239 able to make Ryan Tannehill feel comfortable. I think as 0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:33.200 a quarterback, you feel better with the offensive line that 0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:36.320 that's on paper in front of you. You feel pretty 0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:38.520 good about what you have at wide receiver. You know 0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:42.400 you've got a starting running back back there, uh In Drake. 0:38:42.719 --> 0:38:46.520 So on offense, you feel pretty good. Defensively, well, the 0:38:46.520 --> 0:38:49.279 biggest the biggest question is Ryan how's his health. Is 0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:51.640 he gonna be able to go sixteen games? Is gonna 0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:54.359 be able to elevate his play and make those guys 0:38:54.400 --> 0:38:56.919 around him better? Defensively? You know, the jury is still 0:38:56.960 --> 0:38:59.120 out on a lot of issues right now. I just 0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:01.400 happened to run into R. Tannehill walking into the building 0:39:01.800 --> 0:39:03.960 and and talk to him. He seemed really upbeat, and 0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:07.839 how you're doing, feeling really good? He's excited. I tell 0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:10.160 you know what he's excited about. He's excited about getting 0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:12.080 back on the field and and and starting to move around, 0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:14.640 starting to throw the football and doing those things. And 0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:19.600 it's it's his team. It's his team, and uh, and 0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:22.000 he's got to run with this. But look, especially with 0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:24.040 all the talk that's been about we need to draft 0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:26.480 a quarterback, we need to have draft a quarterback, Joe, 0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:28.120 it's certainly got to be weighing in the back of 0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:30.960 his mind. But you know, from from my experience with Ryan, 0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:32.799 I don't think he's the guy that turns away from that. 0:39:33.000 --> 0:39:35.040 I think he meets that challenge head on. He's a 0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:39.920 very competitive guy. Um, he's quiet, but he's very competitive 0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:41.879 and he's gonna want to win this. He's gonna want 0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:43.839 to show everybody. I think we've seen it change in him, 0:39:44.120 --> 0:39:46.359 even going back and when he was healthy that year 0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:48.560 when the when the Dolphins went to playoffs before he 0:39:48.600 --> 0:39:51.520 got injured, he he had a little something different to 0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:53.759 him as far as this is my team and this 0:39:53.840 --> 0:39:56.120 is do you know you started see him in the 0:39:56.160 --> 0:39:58.879 huddle kind of you know, not not pointing guys, I've 0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:00.840 been pulled going on the guys, Hey, you need to 0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:02.160 do this, you know what I mean? And that to 0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:04.160 me is when when you see a quarterback that's got 0:40:04.160 --> 0:40:06.759 the confidence to do that, you can tell John you've 0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:09.120 been in that position that Hey, when people get in 0:40:09.120 --> 0:40:11.400 that huddle and you say something, they listen. We just 0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:14.880 think about where he is mentally. I mean, uh, he's married, 0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:17.799 he's got a kid. Now, he's out different, he's been 0:40:17.840 --> 0:40:19.920 out for over twenty months, and he's been able to 0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:22.640 look on the sidelines and maybe take a peek at 0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:25.520 others that have played the position in his absence and say, 0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:27.359 you know what, I might not have done that there. 0:40:27.440 --> 0:40:29.840 I might not have handled that that way, or you 0:40:29.840 --> 0:40:33.040 know what, I like what he did there. There. There's 0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:35.719 other ways of going about learning your craft and learning 0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:38.480 your position, especially when you haven't done it since you 0:40:38.520 --> 0:40:41.080 were eight years old and being born and bred to 0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:43.640 be a quarterback. This is a guy that's played multiple 0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:46.520 positions as a young guy. He kind of thrust it 0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:49.200 and found himself at Texas A and m he gets 0:40:49.480 --> 0:40:52.160 drafted very high as as a member of the Miami Dolphins, 0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:54.440 and he's expected to be the savior right away or 0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:56.400 the guy that is supposed to be that guy to 0:40:56.440 --> 0:40:59.080 take us where we're gonna go. It didn't happen for 0:40:59.160 --> 0:41:01.360 him right away, and I think he's learned a lot 0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:05.000 in the process, and hopefully when he comes back this year, 0:41:05.880 --> 0:41:07.920 he's gonna be healthy enough to stand in there and 0:41:07.920 --> 0:41:10.040 do all the things he did when he was there. 0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:12.360 We remember, this is a guy that is a tough 0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:16.520 s ob. He got his aspeat for a couple of years. Okay, 0:41:16.719 --> 0:41:20.080 His durability before this last day, right and toughness for 0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:22.480 the mount of hits he took was and mentally he's 0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:24.680 got to be the same way. Now. Can you surround 0:41:24.800 --> 0:41:26.880 him and give him a chance to come back and 0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:29.720 make it all the stuff he's learned, all those lessons 0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:32.080 he's learned on the sidelines. Can can he turn that 0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:35.239 into victories and turn that into production as a quarterback? Hey, 0:41:35.239 --> 0:41:36.640 you guys want to knock out some of these questions 0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:38.640 by the fans. Great, you know what, I want to 0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:41.240 thank the fans that that sent questions and This is awesome, 0:41:41.560 --> 0:41:43.799 UH to turn out for these questions and UH, I'm 0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:46.600 gonna I'm gonna again encourage you to send your questions in. 0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.160 We'll get to him on our next podcast. You can 0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:50.880 go through Twitter, you can go through Facebook, and you 0:41:50.920 --> 0:41:52.480 go through Miami Dolphins dot com. I don't even know 0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:54.439 if there's an outlet there. You can do all those 0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:56.239 kind of things and and get I don't know. There's 0:41:56.239 --> 0:41:57.799 a lot of ways, right Logan, A lot of lots 0:41:57.800 --> 0:41:59.440 of way am I missing? Any ways to get on here? 0:41:59.440 --> 0:42:05.719 You can call Logan at for a good time. If 0:42:05.760 --> 0:42:07.680 you want to get Logan's number, just go to any 0:42:07.719 --> 0:42:10.440 any any bar in UH in South Florida and go 0:42:10.440 --> 0:42:11.839 into the ladies room and look on the wall. You'll 0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:14.000 feel you'll find his phone number in there somewhere, so 0:42:14.040 --> 0:42:15.839 you can just get ahold of him that way. Let's 0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:18.080 go to right here Twitter at cimony. Do you this 0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:19.920 is a pretty good question. Do you guys think we do? 0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:22.560 You think we have too many defensive ends? And how 0:42:22.560 --> 0:42:24.879 do you envision we use all of them? It's funny 0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:26.719 because we were talking about that a little bit. When 0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:29.280 you look at all the changes and Dominican Sioux leaves, 0:42:29.280 --> 0:42:31.640 and you're looking at the defensive tackles, and you got 0:42:31.680 --> 0:42:34.080 all these defensive ends right now. You look at what 0:42:34.080 --> 0:42:35.839 we've got. You got Robert Quinn, the kid they got 0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:38.359 from the Rams. You got Andre Branch who's coming back 0:42:38.400 --> 0:42:41.319 from from surgery during the off season. William Hayes. So 0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:43.319 I'm very happy that they resigned William. He was one 0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:45.759 of a player and I was just hoping that they 0:42:45.760 --> 0:42:48.400 would resign him. They did that Cam Wake would they 0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:50.200 gave a little extra dollars to put a little money 0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:53.640 in his pocket. Charles Harris, Terence Forday who's still a 0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:56.200 free agent out there, and the one guy that kind 0:42:56.200 --> 0:42:58.480 of is flying under the radar as a defensive end. 0:42:58.640 --> 0:43:00.200 I thought I did a lot of good things last year. 0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:02.520 They're like, is Cameron Malvo the young kid that came 0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:05.200 out at it really got the playing time. It did 0:43:05.200 --> 0:43:07.799 pretty well. But Joe, that is a lot of defensive ends. 0:43:08.000 --> 0:43:09.520 And you look at the tackles and now you're really 0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:11.480 you're looking at you look at Devin Gotschaw, you look 0:43:11.520 --> 0:43:14.239 at Vincent Taylor, and you look at Jordan Phillips. Those 0:43:14.239 --> 0:43:16.040 are your guys, those are your core guys in there. 0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:19.480 Is it outweighed too much? Joe defensive end of defensive tackle. 0:43:20.400 --> 0:43:23.680 My only my only thought is this, Charles Harris was 0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:26.840 drafted in the first round last year with the thought 0:43:26.880 --> 0:43:30.319 of upside and being a big time having a chance 0:43:30.360 --> 0:43:33.799 to be a double digit sack guy. And bo, I 0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:36.960 know everybody wants depth, but if we draft this guy 0:43:37.000 --> 0:43:39.759 in the first round, line them up out there as 0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:43.120 a starter and let them play, I'm just afraid. I'm 0:43:43.160 --> 0:43:45.040 looking at this, and I'm looking at it early, and 0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:48.880 I see Cam Wake and I see Quinn as starters. 0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:53.600 That's what I see. So I just wonder, like, well, 0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:57.439 you may sup first round pack, Joe, you may see 0:43:57.440 --> 0:43:59.960 that now. But look, I saw Charles Harris get better. 0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:03.239 I saw him close a lot last year. And I 0:44:03.280 --> 0:44:06.320 think that knowing Charles Harris from what I know about 0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:09.400 him since he's been here, this guy's busting his ass 0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:11.600 right now to be the best player that he can get. 0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:13.640 And I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say that. I'm 0:44:13.680 --> 0:44:17.120 not gonna give Look, I'm Cameron went Cam wait hard 0:44:17.200 --> 0:44:19.040 not to give him. But look, Cam, maybe a guy 0:44:19.040 --> 0:44:22.560 that they say, look, maybe maybe you're the guy. Maybe 0:44:22.600 --> 0:44:25.320 you're the third down guy, and maybe it's Robert Quinn 0:44:25.680 --> 0:44:27.879 and maybe it's Charles Harris. I don't know, but I'm 0:44:27.920 --> 0:44:30.920 gonna give Charles Harry. I'm gonna put Charles Harris in 0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:33.480 one of those starting spots because I expect him to 0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:35.480 go out there and bust his ass to see if 0:44:35.520 --> 0:44:37.600 you can do that. Maybe he can, maybe not. And Joe, 0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:39.200 I'm different than you. I don't care if he's a 0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:42.160 first round draft pick. Put the best two guys out 0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:44.959 there defensive end. And I've told I've said this before 0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:47.480 in the show. You give I get for for a 0:44:47.560 --> 0:44:49.839 league that demands you to rush the pastor and put 0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:52.520 pressure in the pastor give me as many defensive ends 0:44:52.520 --> 0:44:55.040 as you got that can rush the passer and just 0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:57.480 put them all out there and see how and see 0:44:57.480 --> 0:44:59.279 how much pressure you can get on him. That's my 0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:02.160 thought on it. I just don't want our first round 0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:05.520 picks are special. Your first round pick. I think first 0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:08.040 round picks gotta be a little more special than being 0:45:08.040 --> 0:45:11.200 in a rotation with everybody else. That's just me personally. 0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:13.560 I don't get a guy. We've had too many guys 0:45:13.600 --> 0:45:17.279 come through here, too many first round picks. They're rotational 0:45:17.440 --> 0:45:19.439 or don't play well. I want him to be a 0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:22.000 franchise kind of player. Both if he can do that 0:45:22.200 --> 0:45:24.840 rotating in and out and we can get the production 0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:28.360 and he's a starter. And but if he's not in 0:45:28.400 --> 0:45:30.600 there on second and long and third and long, I 0:45:30.640 --> 0:45:33.120 think he will be in those packages that they can run. 0:45:33.960 --> 0:45:36.640 But I just expect that guy. I thought this is 0:45:36.640 --> 0:45:38.600 gonna be a breakout year for him to move ahead 0:45:38.640 --> 0:45:41.920 and very well be I mean, you're you're kind of 0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:43.520 you're kind of throwing him at the end of the 0:45:43.560 --> 0:45:45.680 pile before he's even got a chance to get out there. 0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:48.440 Who do you think right now? On paper? Let's just 0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:50.520 epen round the kick you guys, who do you think 0:45:50.560 --> 0:45:52.680 it is starting? Ends right now? I would say that 0:45:54.800 --> 0:45:58.520 for me, okay, I would put Quinn, Branch, Wake and 0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:02.520 m Charles Harris all in the mix. Two of those 0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:04.800 guys are gonna be your defense man's I'm not discounting 0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:07.239 defense in fact, that Charles Harris, I'm not discounting fact 0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:10.440 that Andre Branch maybe that guy. I think that if 0:46:10.440 --> 0:46:14.239 he gave to me of the guy to me of 0:46:14.280 --> 0:46:16.880 the guys that that I mentioned in that group before, 0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:19.320 I would say Cam Wake, maybe is not the starter. 0:46:19.560 --> 0:46:22.600 I would say Cam Wake maybe becomes the situational guy, 0:46:22.640 --> 0:46:27.080 the third down guy that leaves Quinn branch and uh 0:46:27.160 --> 0:46:29.319 and and Charles Harris to battle it out for those 0:46:29.360 --> 0:46:32.720 two spots for a starting and quite frankly, every freaking 0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:36.640 team in this league is rotating their defensive fronts to 0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:39.520 keep guys, keep guys uh. You know where they're not. 0:46:39.560 --> 0:46:41.480 They're not dead on their feet. I know, I know 0:46:41.560 --> 0:46:44.759 that Charles Harris wasn't the guy that I thought he 0:46:44.800 --> 0:46:46.480 was gonna be in his rookie year. I thought he'd 0:46:46.520 --> 0:46:48.359 get a little bit more playing time. I thought he'd 0:46:48.400 --> 0:46:50.680 be a little bit more productive. Now. The staff liked 0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:53.040 all the intangibles he did, all the stuff that he did, 0:46:53.280 --> 0:46:55.280 but I kind of put him in the bucket almost 0:46:55.440 --> 0:47:00.120 with xaviing Howard xaviing Howard and drafted in different spot. 0:47:00.360 --> 0:47:03.160 Granted pretty close, but let's draft it in different in 0:47:03.160 --> 0:47:06.680 different spots. But that guy came along in year two 0:47:06.800 --> 0:47:09.759 and was a different player. I think at the end 0:47:09.840 --> 0:47:13.040 of year one and more in year two. Let's see 0:47:13.040 --> 0:47:15.839 where Charles Harris comes back and l T can't tell 0:47:15.880 --> 0:47:17.640 a whole lot, but let's see where he is in 0:47:17.680 --> 0:47:19.879 training camp. Let's see what he's been able to do, 0:47:20.040 --> 0:47:22.160 because the one thing that we all can agree on, 0:47:22.600 --> 0:47:25.600 this guy has been working and he's he's a hard worker. 0:47:25.840 --> 0:47:31.400 This guy he wants to be the guy. Let's see exactly. 0:47:31.480 --> 0:47:34.120 Let's see where he's at during training camp. Let's see 0:47:34.120 --> 0:47:36.239 how this rotation comes out, and let's see where this 0:47:36.320 --> 0:47:39.759 defensive scheme comes into fruition. Are we going to be 0:47:39.800 --> 0:47:42.439 the Giants of two thousand eighteen for a lot of 0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:45.239 a lot of passing, paying three defensive ends. We might 0:47:45.320 --> 0:47:49.760 have to be. We might have to be everybody's nick. 0:47:50.520 --> 0:47:52.800 Let's see Mark grim comes in from Facebook. We should 0:47:52.800 --> 0:47:55.480 be trying to copy what the Pats do. Isn't everyone 0:47:55.520 --> 0:47:57.600 trying to do that? If they're not, they're idiots. It 0:47:57.680 --> 0:48:00.880 would be awesome to draft Miami wide receiver Braxton burials 0:48:01.120 --> 0:48:03.160 Now on day three and pair him up with Wilson 0:48:03.200 --> 0:48:06.080 and Amundole in the short passing spread game. Spread system 0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:08.600 used Drake in the same manner. Get that guy in 0:48:08.680 --> 0:48:10.640 space because the speed agree with that. Let's Stills and 0:48:10.920 --> 0:48:13.879 a Parker pulled the downfield back, uh the d back 0:48:13.920 --> 0:48:16.840 down field played if Tannehill strength, he's a great intermediate 0:48:16.840 --> 0:48:19.760 pastor not a great vertical passer. I wouldn't I wouldn't 0:48:19.760 --> 0:48:21.960 go quite that far. H is say that about him. 0:48:22.120 --> 0:48:24.719 But but getting to the point of his question, Uh, 0:48:24.719 --> 0:48:27.400 I got a local guy, Braxton Burrios, a guy that 0:48:27.440 --> 0:48:29.600 really didn't come into his own at u M until 0:48:29.640 --> 0:48:32.359 he was until he's senior season, and really did a 0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:34.200 lot of good things for him. I wouldn't mind seeing 0:48:34.280 --> 0:48:35.920 him on the roster. I wouldn't mind seeing him A 0:48:35.920 --> 0:48:38.319 guy that a date the late day two, day three 0:48:38.400 --> 0:48:39.960 or a Day three I mean day three pick up, 0:48:40.080 --> 0:48:42.279 not a second round guy, but a Day three pick up. 0:48:42.480 --> 0:48:44.640 If he ends up on this roster, I wouldn't be 0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:46.960 disappointed with that at all. Well, I think he's got 0:48:46.960 --> 0:48:48.839 a place in the league because the things he can do. 0:48:48.920 --> 0:48:52.480 He's a slot receiver, really good hands on punt returns, 0:48:53.160 --> 0:48:57.120 really guy, a guy you can really trust. Uh inside 0:48:57.160 --> 0:48:59.319 actually and get to finish his workout the combine. He 0:48:59.360 --> 0:49:02.359 got injured a little bit. But yeah, I think we're 0:49:02.360 --> 0:49:05.480 all big Braxton burials fans. I I really like it. 0:49:05.520 --> 0:49:07.440 And of course everybody's got him going to New England 0:49:07.680 --> 0:49:09.839 because he's a short wi Yeah, yeah, and he fits 0:49:09.840 --> 0:49:12.480 in like a glove there. Uh, Jeff Thomas on Facebook, 0:49:12.480 --> 0:49:14.920 I'll have Damni Dannie Mendolas signing. Sure we lost some 0:49:14.960 --> 0:49:16.799 big names, but they're also contribute to a six and 0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:19.040 ten season. That's the other thing you look at. You 0:49:19.040 --> 0:49:21.040 you look at the guys that are leaving and go 0:49:21.320 --> 0:49:24.319 why are we or require crying over spilled milk over 0:49:24.400 --> 0:49:27.040 a six and ten season after that with those guys 0:49:27.040 --> 0:49:28.440 in the line if I understand that, But that's just 0:49:28.480 --> 0:49:30.600 my talk. Anyway, our fins needed to shake up. We 0:49:30.680 --> 0:49:33.160 filled most of those souls with some big time key players, 0:49:33.200 --> 0:49:35.080 just a few more pieces of puzzle. I like the 0:49:35.120 --> 0:49:38.719 direction we're heading in, all right, That's that's fair. Yeah, 0:49:38.800 --> 0:49:41.040 I I look at it not for production of how 0:49:41.160 --> 0:49:43.200 how good those guys. We lost some good players. No 0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:45.480 matter what the record was, they were good players. That's 0:49:45.480 --> 0:49:47.720 not up for debate. But if the money's an issue, 0:49:47.800 --> 0:49:51.080 which I understand on both guys, then then we got 0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:52.600 to get that thing back in order so we can 0:49:52.600 --> 0:49:54.640 get more players. I agree with that. Joe. You look 0:49:54.680 --> 0:49:56.480 at the roster and you take a look. If you'd 0:49:56.600 --> 0:49:59.000 told me Jarvis Landry and Domagan's who and Mike Pouncey 0:49:59.000 --> 0:50:04.120 wouldn't be part the two. I would have said, you're crazy. 0:50:04.239 --> 0:50:06.400 But that's reality now, and now the Dolphins have to 0:50:06.440 --> 0:50:09.240 move on. I think. I think so far in free agency, 0:50:09.280 --> 0:50:11.799 on paper, they've addressed a lot of a lot of 0:50:11.840 --> 0:50:14.239 the losses. But by the way, everybody else, just to 0:50:14.280 --> 0:50:16.440 be fair was part of the six wins to not 0:50:16.520 --> 0:50:21.960 just like, yeah, that's ever the reality. Look around the league. 0:50:22.000 --> 0:50:23.320 This is the reality of the league, not just some 0:50:23.400 --> 0:50:26.480 Miami Dolphins. You guys from the Philadelphia Eagles that they 0:50:26.600 --> 0:50:28.880 just won a Super Bowl, they're leaving. You gotta you know. 0:50:29.080 --> 0:50:30.440 You look at the Rams, look at the year the 0:50:30.480 --> 0:50:32.560 Rams had, and look at they get rid of Quinny 0:50:34.239 --> 0:50:38.000 when they're defensive backs. So it doesn't it. I don't 0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:40.040 know that. I don't know that. You're looking New England. 0:50:40.080 --> 0:50:44.440 New England's jettison players. It doesn't matter what your record is. 0:50:44.760 --> 0:50:46.759 The league is gonna be from this is what it is. 0:50:46.800 --> 0:50:48.719 This is the new league right now. You I don't 0:50:48.760 --> 0:50:50.880 care if you won ten games or lost ten games. 0:50:50.920 --> 0:50:52.680 You're gonna have a bunch of people coming and growing. 0:50:52.760 --> 0:50:54.800 That's something going. You try to get rid of guys 0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:57.080 before they make too much money. And by the way. 0:50:57.120 --> 0:50:59.480 Nobody does it better in New England. When he thinks 0:50:59.480 --> 0:51:01.799 you're making too much money, no matter what your name 0:51:01.920 --> 0:51:04.440 is except Brady, you're gone, or the age or the 0:51:04.480 --> 0:51:06.399 age kind of creeps up there and you see, well, 0:51:06.400 --> 0:51:08.000 you know what, we don't need him anymore. That's what 0:51:08.320 --> 0:51:11.000 somebody in the rot Bell Belichick reminds me of Wayne Hysinger. 0:51:11.280 --> 0:51:14.440 Knows when to buy. More importantly, knows when to sell right, 0:51:14.480 --> 0:51:16.399 when to get rid of them, when when they still don't, 0:51:16.400 --> 0:51:18.640 when they don't have much left Another Facebook, Robert Man. 0:51:18.719 --> 0:51:20.080 As you can see a lot of people coming in 0:51:20.080 --> 0:51:21.799 through Facebook. So, like I said, when you want to 0:51:21.880 --> 0:51:23.640 send your questions, and it looks like Facebook is a 0:51:23.640 --> 0:51:28.440 pretty good than Yeah, because logan using misspell stuff and 0:51:28.560 --> 0:51:31.600 I can't read it properly. Robert Man. Robert Mann with 0:51:31.680 --> 0:51:34.000 two ends, I would not be angry who pick up 0:51:34.000 --> 0:51:35.840 a tight in the first round. I wouldn't be. It 0:51:35.880 --> 0:51:38.399 just doesn't seem like it could happen. We have we've 0:51:38.480 --> 0:51:40.919 we've not had a pass catching tight end since Joe Rose. 0:51:41.080 --> 0:51:44.239 Oh no, since Clay went to Buffalo. Put that in there, 0:51:44.360 --> 0:51:49.120 but was that Joe Joe got into the notes. These 0:51:49.160 --> 0:51:52.359 freaking guys wouldn't let it go Logan, how about Joe 0:51:52.360 --> 0:51:53.759 before the show? Hey, can I use that pen for 0:51:53.800 --> 0:51:56.040 a second? What do you need a pen for? Yeah? 0:51:56.160 --> 0:51:58.360 I like, I like, he says. I like Mike DASICKI 0:51:58.480 --> 0:52:01.400 from Penn State. Good guy. They're the kid from the 0:52:01.480 --> 0:52:06.400 kid from Wisconsin was starting Carolina Carolina. Ye. So so 0:52:06.480 --> 0:52:11.239 there's a number of out there they okay, just because 0:52:11.239 --> 0:52:13.440 of these guys, don't count on. No, I don't want 0:52:13.440 --> 0:52:16.200 to block. Don't give me a blood no, No, resign 0:52:16.520 --> 0:52:18.759 Facon if you want to block, you know what. But 0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:21.279 the way the way the first round is shaping up 0:52:21.400 --> 0:52:24.000 right now, I think the chance of the Dolphins taking 0:52:24.040 --> 0:52:26.359 a tight end in the first round are becoming more 0:52:26.400 --> 0:52:29.160 distant as we look forward. The quarterbacks are kind of, 0:52:29.360 --> 0:52:31.360 you know, stacking up on the top with the Jets 0:52:31.360 --> 0:52:34.040 moving up at all that, and so that means you've 0:52:34.080 --> 0:52:36.800 got defensive players that maybe falling down in the in 0:52:36.840 --> 0:52:39.319 the Dolphins lap when it comes to eleven. I don't 0:52:39.320 --> 0:52:41.520 know that there's a tight end out there, Joe and 0:52:41.800 --> 0:52:44.839 John if the Dolphins states seven, that there's anybody out 0:52:44.840 --> 0:52:48.640 there that requires there's Howard out there in this draft 0:52:49.000 --> 0:52:51.839 at some point there's certain positions. We gotta stop just 0:52:51.840 --> 0:52:54.560 getting free agents for him, putting a band aid on 0:52:54.600 --> 0:52:57.359 some of these positions and grows some of your own 0:52:57.400 --> 0:52:59.799 through the draft. We have done very good at guard. 0:53:00.160 --> 0:53:01.759 You had to go out and get We don't have 0:53:01.840 --> 0:53:04.200 homegrown guards, so we got we gotta get some other 0:53:04.280 --> 0:53:06.719 positions over where we hit and tighten might be one 0:53:06.760 --> 0:53:09.200 where you find it tight end. And we know Adam 0:53:09.239 --> 0:53:10.920 Gate is gonna use him. He likes to flex him 0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:13.480 out inside the twenty. Different stuff. Get him one on 0:53:13.480 --> 0:53:16.759 one against safeties and linebackers. Get your own guy. You 0:53:16.800 --> 0:53:19.640 like another one from Facebook, Lithaya knowledge. I like what 0:53:19.760 --> 0:53:21.680 Josh Sitton brings to the Miami Dolphins. We didn't talk 0:53:21.680 --> 0:53:24.480 about Josh as much as we talked earlier about Kilgore. 0:53:24.480 --> 0:53:26.239 We'll talk about him a little bit here. Uh. He's 0:53:26.239 --> 0:53:29.120 a solid offensive lineman. Uh. And and they're picking up 0:53:29.160 --> 0:53:31.360 pieces and putting them together. Now we have a solid 0:53:31.400 --> 0:53:33.759 center who's healthy, a Pro Bowl left guard. Now they 0:53:33.760 --> 0:53:35.680 need to draft the right tackle and a right guard. 0:53:35.719 --> 0:53:37.439 I don't know if that's gonna happen. The offensive line 0:53:37.800 --> 0:53:40.479 is going to be nasty. Um. I like this sign 0:53:40.520 --> 0:53:42.520 of John Josh sitting and you got a chance to 0:53:42.520 --> 0:53:45.480 talk to him, John, I talked him on the phone. Uh, 0:53:45.719 --> 0:53:50.520 he's he's an offense alignment as order bag, nasty, sloppy, 0:53:50.600 --> 0:53:53.440 it's not come out of your nose offensive lineman. What 0:53:53.719 --> 0:53:55.719 you said someone asked about moving from left to guard 0:53:55.800 --> 0:53:58.560 left or right. It's like Samuel, Well, try wiping your 0:53:58.600 --> 0:54:01.680 ass with your opposite hand now, see, Or you can 0:54:01.719 --> 0:54:03.720 be like Jay bro when you have both hands and casts. 0:54:04.040 --> 0:54:06.919 See who's gonna wipe your app for you? When every 0:54:06.920 --> 0:54:08.359 time j would get up and go to the bat 0:54:08.680 --> 0:54:11.600 head towards the bathroom, everybody that's turned in head in 0:54:11.640 --> 0:54:13.080 the other draft, no one wanted to be in the 0:54:13.960 --> 0:54:15.560 No one wanted to be in the bathroom. When Josh 0:54:15.560 --> 0:54:22.160 broke friends, that was a special girlfriend special How did 0:54:22.320 --> 0:54:25.640 come in here? But you just ring the bell? But 0:54:25.640 --> 0:54:28.520 but anyway, so Josh and he's a colorful character, obviously 0:54:28.800 --> 0:54:30.920 coming out with with something like that. But I think 0:54:31.000 --> 0:54:32.879 Josh Sitton is one of those guys, a veteran guy, 0:54:33.280 --> 0:54:36.240 pro bowler. I think I think between he and Kilgore, 0:54:36.800 --> 0:54:40.920 they're gonna bring that long hair, nasty toughness, beards. You know, 0:54:40.960 --> 0:54:42.719 they're those guys. I didn't know if I wanted to 0:54:42.760 --> 0:54:44.560 kiss him on the forehead just to say thank you 0:54:44.600 --> 0:54:46.880 for being on the buy him a beard, you know. 0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:50.160 At the same time, he looks like an offensive talks 0:54:50.360 --> 0:54:52.560 an offense line. And what is he going to bring 0:54:52.560 --> 0:54:54.160 to the table for the guy next to him? I 0:54:54.160 --> 0:54:57.200 mean in touncil, if he's on the left side, how 0:54:57.280 --> 0:54:59.399 is he going to bring him along? Because I think 0:54:59.440 --> 0:55:02.239 you've got eyes that have experienced. You've got guys that 0:55:02.239 --> 0:55:04.600 have made Pro Bowls, You've got guys that have played 0:55:04.719 --> 0:55:06.799 at a lot of games in the National Football League. 0:55:06.800 --> 0:55:10.080 They're not old by any stretch. They're experienced. They're right 0:55:10.120 --> 0:55:12.719 in between. And I think that's a good fit for 0:55:12.760 --> 0:55:15.480 the Miami Dolphins because they like the guys that are 0:55:15.480 --> 0:55:20.160 being coached by Jeremiah Washburn. They like they just like 0:55:20.320 --> 0:55:22.680 being offensive lineman. And what do those guys do. They 0:55:22.719 --> 0:55:25.200 share ideas they're in that room. No one has more 0:55:25.239 --> 0:55:27.680 fun in a room than the offensive line, right, So 0:55:27.719 --> 0:55:32.000 those guys exactly can't control themselves. Part of it. I 0:55:32.040 --> 0:55:33.480 think that's part of it. They don't have to get 0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:35.439 up to go to the bathroom, they just go right there. 0:55:35.840 --> 0:55:38.160 So I think that's part of it. That's what you 0:55:38.200 --> 0:55:40.440 get when you get veteran guys in the room and 0:55:40.600 --> 0:55:43.279 Juwan James on one side Larry Tunso on the other. 0:55:43.440 --> 0:55:49.600 How can they bring those two guards can if it's 0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:51.839 Jesse Davis or it's Ted Larson. I tend to think 0:55:51.840 --> 0:55:54.440 it's gonna be Jesse Davis. If those two guys can 0:55:54.480 --> 0:55:56.879 make those tackles a little bit better, then then then 0:55:56.920 --> 0:55:59.319 you really got some The other thing Joe does by 0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:02.480 by going ahead signing those two guys, it throws out 0:56:02.520 --> 0:56:06.120 the entire question of drafting a guard in the first 0:56:05.560 --> 0:56:10.439 That's that. That's done. And by the way, nobody got 0:56:10.440 --> 0:56:14.279 more talent on this offensive line than Laramie Tonsil at 0:56:14.320 --> 0:56:17.720 left tackle. He's got the footwork of a wide receiver 0:56:17.840 --> 0:56:20.919 running back. He just gotta put it together and maybe 0:56:21.000 --> 0:56:23.680 having a veteran next to him, he'll just will help 0:56:23.719 --> 0:56:27.279 him just get better and better. Twitter at Arcane twelve 0:56:27.640 --> 0:56:30.839 nine first rounder. Get a monster linebacker that looks like 0:56:31.080 --> 0:56:34.360 maybe maybe may more and more be the reality now. Second, 0:56:34.360 --> 0:56:36.440 go to a tight end. Third, get a defensive tackle. 0:56:36.719 --> 0:56:38.680 If they get the right players, all could start year 0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:40.520 one and then try for some depth in the rest 0:56:40.560 --> 0:56:42.320 of the draft and Hill, we'll get the issue to 0:56:42.360 --> 0:56:44.680 see what he is. If he's not a top ten 0:56:44.760 --> 0:56:48.800 quarterback next year, then draft for future quarterback. I agree 0:56:48.840 --> 0:56:51.319 with all those things, but I think the quarterback. I 0:56:51.360 --> 0:56:53.840 think that quarterback is still gonna be somewhere in the 0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:56.319 second or third round for this football team. Doesn't look 0:56:56.360 --> 0:56:59.040 like first round is gonna be gonna be available, but 0:56:59.040 --> 0:57:01.719 who knows it. But I think second or third round 0:57:01.960 --> 0:57:04.759 you still gotta walk with with a quarterback. You gotta 0:57:04.800 --> 0:57:06.880 you gotta find. I think it would be a rookie 0:57:07.080 --> 0:57:09.600 backup quarterback. But I'll tell you what, he hit it 0:57:09.680 --> 0:57:14.360 right on. I'm with those positions and and that that 0:57:14.440 --> 0:57:17.560 big stud linebacker that looks like you know, if if 0:57:17.640 --> 0:57:20.360 that's what you want, I think right now it's probably 0:57:20.400 --> 0:57:24.160 to me. Then when the Dolphins drafted eleven, there's gonna 0:57:24.160 --> 0:57:25.880 be a good linebacker there and they may jump on 0:57:25.920 --> 0:57:27.960 unless it's the kid Vida, the kid from where he 0:57:28.000 --> 0:57:32.880 washing question via Vida that uh he's a Simone kid, right, Yeah, 0:57:32.960 --> 0:57:37.080 he's big. Simone defensive alignment, very very high in my book. Yeah, 0:57:37.200 --> 0:57:39.200 I'm with you. They don't get hurt, they don't break 0:57:39.200 --> 0:57:43.960 down on the West Coast. If you're not in a way, 0:57:43.960 --> 0:57:45.600 if you never played football on the West Coast, I 0:57:45.640 --> 0:57:48.480 don't think you know the smon. I mean, I played 0:57:48.480 --> 0:57:50.920 with a lot of Simone guys over my career. I 0:57:51.040 --> 0:57:53.480 love playing with every one of them. Everyone was a 0:57:53.520 --> 0:57:55.680 tough s O B. And every one of them you 0:57:55.760 --> 0:57:58.320 if you go into battle, you want them sitting you want. 0:57:59.320 --> 0:58:00.880 I can still remember were coming out of the huddle 0:58:01.280 --> 0:58:03.360 playing B y U when they in college, when they 0:58:03.360 --> 0:58:05.880 won the national title in eighty three or four. Was 0:58:06.320 --> 0:58:08.760 and I'm looking across and everybody looked like they were 0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:11.560 forty years old. And they all went on missions. They're 0:58:11.600 --> 0:58:16.120 all some and they all had beards. That's all said. 0:58:16.120 --> 0:58:18.920 They all have five kids already. I said, don't let 0:58:19.000 --> 0:58:22.640 him hit me. All had that wild hair sticking out 0:58:22.640 --> 0:58:25.520 of their coming out of someone. Come on, where did 0:58:25.520 --> 0:58:27.640 they get this guy from? You know? Yeah, they got 0:58:27.720 --> 0:58:29.280 them from some boa That's where they got them from 0:58:29.520 --> 0:58:33.160 El Chapol juniors. I'm about rounds back in with it. 0:58:35.680 --> 0:58:38.600 With the pickups in free agency so far, which position 0:58:38.640 --> 0:58:40.400 do you think we should target now in the draft. 0:58:41.520 --> 0:58:43.680 You're talking about tight end, you were talking about line 0:58:43.720 --> 0:58:46.400 back and backer, you're talking about maybe defensive line in 0:58:46.600 --> 0:58:49.320 terms of tackle. I mean those positions right there. I think, 0:58:49.520 --> 0:58:51.920 oh Bau might want to take another defensive end. Let 0:58:51.960 --> 0:58:54.240 me check, well, let me go back and check the tape. 0:58:54.240 --> 0:58:58.280 I don't think let me the only The only way 0:58:58.280 --> 0:59:00.200 I'm gonna say the Dolphins should take a deep that's 0:59:00.200 --> 0:59:02.800 a end in the draft is if they draft me again, 0:59:03.160 --> 0:59:05.520 let me sign. Let me sign one of those goddamn contracts. 0:59:05.520 --> 0:59:08.080 If these guys are signed right now and you you 0:59:08.120 --> 0:59:10.840 were wrapping the seventh I'll take seventh round money right now. 0:59:11.480 --> 0:59:13.600 Seventh round money maybe more money than I made my 0:59:13.840 --> 0:59:17.360 entire career. They're all getting paid now. You're not kidding, no, 0:59:17.560 --> 0:59:19.840 I like those positions. I really do. I mean, you 0:59:19.920 --> 0:59:23.840 got a linebacker, you got tight end, I think defensive tackle, 0:59:24.080 --> 0:59:25.960 and I think the Dolphins may end up getting a 0:59:26.040 --> 0:59:28.880 running back somewhere. Running back the other thing in terms 0:59:28.920 --> 0:59:30.880 of being able, I mean, there's a lot of running 0:59:30.920 --> 0:59:33.320 backs in this draft. They're gonna get fourth, fifth, and 0:59:33.400 --> 0:59:36.880 sixth round that are pretty darn damn good catchers. The 0:59:36.920 --> 0:59:38.600 other thing that seems to keep floating around too, is 0:59:38.600 --> 0:59:41.120 maybe another cornerback out there. If there's some guy down 0:59:41.200 --> 0:59:43.000 the road a little bit, but I'm pretty Look I 0:59:43.120 --> 0:59:45.919 look at our secondary, especially with Tony Lippett coming back, 0:59:46.280 --> 0:59:49.040 they resigned Walt Aitkins. You know you've got You've got 0:59:49.280 --> 0:59:52.680 your your two cornerbacks, your Tank and your Xavian, who 0:59:52.720 --> 0:59:55.120 really are really Xavians certainly came into his own. If 0:59:55.160 --> 0:59:57.280 Tank can have that kind of improvement that Xavian have 0:59:57.400 --> 0:59:59.360 from year one, pretty good. And then with her Shod 0:59:59.600 --> 1:00:01.640 and teach A back there, well you feel pretty good 1:00:01.640 --> 1:00:04.200 about that starting group. Other side of x and Bobby, 1:00:04.840 --> 1:00:09.560 Bobby inside is Bobby played some outside with good but 1:00:09.640 --> 1:00:12.400 he made a big step forward last year, I think, 1:00:12.560 --> 1:00:16.200 and he gives you so much versatility if somebody goes down, 1:00:16.360 --> 1:00:18.440 all right, let's go. Chris Williams from Facebook to me, 1:00:18.480 --> 1:00:21.440 Albert Wilson is a faster Landry. He was third in 1:00:21.480 --> 1:00:23.800 the league and broken tackles with a lot less catches 1:00:24.120 --> 1:00:27.440 than the top two guys. Uh number two was Landry. Uh. 1:00:28.080 --> 1:00:30.200 You know what. To be honest with you, if I 1:00:30.320 --> 1:00:32.440 was to tell you I watched all of Albert Wilson's 1:00:32.480 --> 1:00:35.360 play game, I I'd be lying to you. I know 1:00:35.480 --> 1:00:37.720 he's a fast kid. I know he's a tough kid, 1:00:38.240 --> 1:00:40.600 he's a smart kid. Had a chance to talk to him, 1:00:40.600 --> 1:00:44.160 and I really liked the conversation I had with Albert Um. 1:00:44.520 --> 1:00:45.920 But look, he's gonna have to go a long way 1:00:45.960 --> 1:00:48.919 to be close to Jarvis. Let's not kid each other. Yeah, 1:00:49.240 --> 1:00:51.360 by the way, for the inside, for the slot thing, 1:00:51.520 --> 1:00:54.040 I get there. Everybody wants the extra speed, and you know, 1:00:54.160 --> 1:00:56.760 if we're gonna break down Jarvis Landry, I would like 1:00:56.760 --> 1:00:59.720 to see Jarvis Landry run four fours instead of four sevens. 1:01:00.400 --> 1:01:02.800 But that guy, no matter what anybody wants, Steve is 1:01:02.800 --> 1:01:05.160 a really good slot receiver. Move on. But you don't 1:01:05.200 --> 1:01:07.479 have to bring up Jarvis Landry. You can get guys, 1:01:07.520 --> 1:01:09.080 you can spread out. I get that we're gonna have 1:01:09.120 --> 1:01:12.560 those hundred and sixty UM targets that we're gonna have 1:01:12.600 --> 1:01:14.600 are gonna get spread out with everybody, and I'm all 1:01:14.680 --> 1:01:16.960 for that, man. I think that should happen, and I 1:01:17.000 --> 1:01:19.400 think it's good for morale. I think it's just good 1:01:19.480 --> 1:01:21.880 for business. Look at look at New England. Look at 1:01:21.880 --> 1:01:24.040 New England. They started who they started with. Danny Woodhead 1:01:24.560 --> 1:01:27.080 was or No West Welcome was the first of the ILK. 1:01:27.400 --> 1:01:30.360 Then it was Danny Woodhead, then it was Edelman, and 1:01:30.440 --> 1:01:33.840 then it was Amndola. If anybody's gone through good slot 1:01:33.960 --> 1:01:36.960 receivers and let him move on and then showing that 1:01:37.000 --> 1:01:38.720 you can find someone else to do it, it's certainly 1:01:38.760 --> 1:01:40.880 has been doing it. And maybe and maybe that that, 1:01:41.080 --> 1:01:44.160 maybe that constant of of that guy, Tom Brady, maybe 1:01:44.200 --> 1:01:49.640 that has something to do with I think receivers play 1:01:49.680 --> 1:01:52.000 in New England that haven't done better than their careers 1:01:52.040 --> 1:01:54.000 after playing with Brady. Yeah, I think they. I think 1:01:54.200 --> 1:01:55.800 you know, with Tom Brady, they won Super Bowls with 1:01:55.960 --> 1:01:58.000 a bunch of receivers. As he said, who is there 1:01:58.040 --> 1:02:01.520 were those guys it didn't matter. Uh. James Cheatham on 1:02:01.640 --> 1:02:04.600 Facebook as a Dolphin fan living in Missouri Chiefs Country. 1:02:04.800 --> 1:02:06.959 I see Albert Wilson play. He's flown under the radar, 1:02:07.240 --> 1:02:10.120 but he's actually pretty good, a pretty good route runner 1:02:10.440 --> 1:02:13.680 and gets separation. I usually fear the worst with Dolphin acquisitions, 1:02:13.880 --> 1:02:16.160 but I'm holding out hope that's he's gonna surprise some 1:02:16.240 --> 1:02:17.560 people when I have a chance to talk to him, 1:02:17.600 --> 1:02:19.040 and John, you have a chance to talk to him, 1:02:19.240 --> 1:02:21.840 really comes across as a good guy. He's been through 1:02:21.840 --> 1:02:24.600 a lot in his life that he's bought battle through 1:02:24.600 --> 1:02:26.800 and I think he carries out with him and he's 1:02:26.840 --> 1:02:28.360 a guy that he's one of those guys he just 1:02:28.400 --> 1:02:29.760 I just want to go out there and show people 1:02:30.040 --> 1:02:32.040 what I can do. And he thinks his time is 1:02:32.160 --> 1:02:33.800 right now, and hopefully it is, so he's gonna have 1:02:33.840 --> 1:02:35.720 a chance. I mean, he's signed a three year deal. 1:02:35.760 --> 1:02:37.680 I think it's you know, two years of exposure for 1:02:37.720 --> 1:02:39.680 the Dolphins. When you take a look at the numbers 1:02:39.720 --> 1:02:41.960 and where he's at, he's gonna have an opportunity to 1:02:42.240 --> 1:02:45.000 to make a home in South Florida. He's a South 1:02:45.080 --> 1:02:48.120 Florida native of Port St. Lucy High School. So a 1:02:48.200 --> 1:02:50.600 guy that's a tough guy and when you watch him 1:02:50.600 --> 1:02:52.960 on film, he does make people miss when he gets 1:02:53.040 --> 1:02:56.320 his opportunities. He's got that that jump step in the 1:02:56.400 --> 1:02:59.200 middle of traffic that he's able to allude tackles and 1:02:59.400 --> 1:03:01.800 and move the ain't So you hope that that carries over. 1:03:02.440 --> 1:03:05.440 Uh with this offense and where Adam Gates wants to 1:03:05.520 --> 1:03:08.360 take the targets that Joe talked about and spread those 1:03:08.400 --> 1:03:10.880 targets out, You're hoping that he gets his share. I 1:03:10.960 --> 1:03:16.800 look at the money he's playing absolutely I can tell 1:03:16.840 --> 1:03:19.080 you the first four receivers are unless he get injured. 1:03:19.200 --> 1:03:21.560 I mean that that's pretty clear. The two here last 1:03:21.640 --> 1:03:24.760 year and and two new guys, the amount of money 1:03:24.960 --> 1:03:27.080 they got, I mean, the the guy that's gonna have 1:03:27.120 --> 1:03:29.480 to come in and play like Superman from from the 1:03:29.560 --> 1:03:33.960 first practice out. Here's crew of those. And I agree 1:03:33.960 --> 1:03:36.640 with that. That's the pecking order in that. Where do 1:03:36.720 --> 1:03:39.840 you throw Jakim in on that ahead of Carew. He's 1:03:39.880 --> 1:03:42.040 a fifth guy that can do and he's got that 1:03:42.160 --> 1:03:45.760 extra gear and actually Finnish strong. My god, I called 1:03:45.800 --> 1:03:48.280 it the speed package. I want, I want more him. 1:03:48.360 --> 1:03:50.760 He may get more play. He's on the outside, right, 1:03:50.840 --> 1:03:54.880 everybody forgets. Everybody figured out, not know he's an outside guy. 1:03:54.960 --> 1:03:58.360 Let him make somebody miss and threaten and let me ask. 1:03:58.640 --> 1:04:00.160 Let's not forget. You got still got your key him 1:04:00.360 --> 1:04:02.640 as a punt return you got Danny Amendole, you got Wilson. 1:04:03.000 --> 1:04:05.680 You know you've increased your special teams, You've increased your 1:04:05.760 --> 1:04:08.080 your skill on special teams with those guys. When it 1:04:08.120 --> 1:04:11.120 comes to kick returning. Yeah, well listen, I see a 1:04:11.240 --> 1:04:17.280 Mendola where they're inside the tenant. It's super high. He's 1:04:17.280 --> 1:04:19.760 gonna get out there. He's gonna catch him. When you 1:04:19.840 --> 1:04:23.680 got open field long kid Jarvis, I mean Jachim. Jachim 1:04:23.720 --> 1:04:27.080 will be back out, no doubt, no doubt. Twitter. If 1:04:27.120 --> 1:04:29.400 you there's a number of people have got in with 1:04:29.480 --> 1:04:32.200 this question, who's been your guy's favorite signing so far 1:04:32.320 --> 1:04:34.840 this year? Sitting? You like Sitting? You like that? You 1:04:34.920 --> 1:04:38.240 like that offensive guarden there. I think a nasty that 1:04:38.840 --> 1:04:41.320 h I have to go offensive line too. I'm saying 1:04:41.520 --> 1:04:43.680 Kilgore as well. I mean, if you're gonna get a 1:04:43.760 --> 1:04:46.840 guy that that that's that good and healthy at his 1:04:46.920 --> 1:04:49.000 age and be able to come in and replace a 1:04:49.040 --> 1:04:51.360 guy that you were crossing your fingers with you know 1:04:51.480 --> 1:04:54.320 every day at practice that he's gonna play and he's gonna, 1:04:54.560 --> 1:04:56.480 you know, be there because if he goes down right now, 1:04:56.960 --> 1:04:59.600 uh it, Pouncy a week ago went down, the Dolphins 1:04:59.600 --> 1:05:01.800 didn't have a really an answer. You know, they got 1:05:02.040 --> 1:05:04.200 they got they got some trying guys in there, but 1:05:04.240 --> 1:05:06.080 they don't have a guy that's proven. Now you've got 1:05:06.120 --> 1:05:07.960 a guy that's proven. They're they're they're one A and 1:05:08.000 --> 1:05:10.000 one B for me. Both those guys sitting, Sitting and 1:05:10.120 --> 1:05:12.880 Kilgore both those guys, because those two guys come in 1:05:13.360 --> 1:05:16.840 at the same time, and it completely revamps your offensive line. 1:05:17.120 --> 1:05:20.600 And and and and John you you've mentioned this when 1:05:20.640 --> 1:05:23.360 when you talk about sitting and kill Gore's say they 1:05:23.480 --> 1:05:25.840 bring a real tough They don't. They don't, you know, 1:05:25.920 --> 1:05:27.760 they're not. They're not the the guy that's puffing out 1:05:27.800 --> 1:05:30.080 his chest walking across the street. They might kind of 1:05:30.160 --> 1:05:32.200 walk slump shoulder a little bit. But if you if 1:05:32.480 --> 1:05:34.120 you push your button the wrong way, you're gonna get 1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:35.800 your asking. Let me tell you a quick story. So 1:05:35.960 --> 1:05:38.640 I I look at Daniel Kilgore's you know, bio, and 1:05:38.680 --> 1:05:40.680 I'm looking on Wikipedia trying to find out a little 1:05:40.680 --> 1:05:43.080 bit about him. And he's from a little town in Tennessee. 1:05:43.480 --> 1:05:45.720 So I'm looking on the map and it's real close 1:05:45.800 --> 1:05:49.120 to Tri Cities Airport. This is, uh next to a 1:05:49.200 --> 1:05:51.840 golf course called the Old Farm that I'm a member at. 1:05:52.280 --> 1:05:54.800 So I'm gonna talk to Daniel and interviewing for the 1:05:54.840 --> 1:05:56.200 one on one and say, hey, I saw your you 1:05:56.240 --> 1:05:58.200 know from a little town. Uh, that's right next to 1:05:58.280 --> 1:06:00.680 Tri Cities Airport. He goes, can't this my house? If 1:06:00.720 --> 1:06:02.720 you're flying in there? It's got like a copper roof. 1:06:02.960 --> 1:06:04.480 You'll be able to see it all the time. I said, well, 1:06:04.480 --> 1:06:06.919 I'm a member at this place called the Old Farm 1:06:06.960 --> 1:06:09.880 in Bristol, Virginia. Actually, Damn Reno's remember there too. He goes, 1:06:10.040 --> 1:06:12.000 I know it well, he said, next time, when you 1:06:12.080 --> 1:06:14.680 guys go up there, don't call for the shuttle, call me. 1:06:14.960 --> 1:06:16.880 I'll come pick you up. That way, I'll get to 1:06:16.920 --> 1:06:19.000 play the course with you. I said, I like you 1:06:19.120 --> 1:06:22.200 already the way you think. But you know, he's only 1:06:22.240 --> 1:06:24.520 a little genuine guys that he said, you know what, 1:06:24.680 --> 1:06:26.680 forget that, I'll come pick you guys. Yeah. And they're 1:06:26.680 --> 1:06:29.000 both excited about being here. Man. They just seem like 1:06:29.080 --> 1:06:31.160 they want to be part of this thing. And well 1:06:31.200 --> 1:06:32.640 you look at Sitt and he's he's a he's a 1:06:32.720 --> 1:06:38.120 Florida guy. His wife's a big dolphin fan, and he's 1:06:38.200 --> 1:06:41.240 he's he's thrilled about coming down here, you know. And 1:06:41.320 --> 1:06:43.160 some of these guys you would think, like like Kilgore 1:06:43.200 --> 1:06:45.080 would be a guy to me that you would think, Man, 1:06:45.160 --> 1:06:47.080 I just signed with these guys, the forty niners, that 1:06:47.320 --> 1:06:49.400 you think there would be a little ANIMALSI there. He's 1:06:49.440 --> 1:06:51.920 just excited about being here. And get an opportunity to 1:06:51.960 --> 1:06:56.160 come and really changed his franchise around in starting center. Yeah, 1:06:56.280 --> 1:06:58.440 it's it's his. Hey, you know what, There's been a 1:06:58.480 --> 1:07:01.320 lot of talk about leadership with with with guys coming 1:07:01.360 --> 1:07:03.360 in and trying to bring guys, and I think you 1:07:03.440 --> 1:07:08.160 look at all these guys Amndola, Quinn, Sitting Kill Gore, 1:07:08.440 --> 1:07:11.120 I think they all bring that that leadership to How 1:07:11.200 --> 1:07:13.320 important you think that is or is that just is 1:07:13.360 --> 1:07:16.360 that just a catchphrase being thrown around this year. I 1:07:16.480 --> 1:07:21.000 think it's important, But Bo, we play with guys that 1:07:21.080 --> 1:07:24.680 aren't great team, guys that don't show up all the time, 1:07:25.160 --> 1:07:28.600 but they play their ass off on Sunday and without 1:07:28.640 --> 1:07:30.680 going into all the old names on our forty five 1:07:30.720 --> 1:07:33.919 man roster, and you you got to have those guys. 1:07:33.960 --> 1:07:36.840 I think this culture thing that's stone out, that's leaked 1:07:36.840 --> 1:07:40.160 out of Davy is important, But Bo, you still gotta 1:07:40.160 --> 1:07:43.360 have guys that make plays game changers on on Sunday 1:07:43.440 --> 1:07:46.400 and Monday night and Thursday night. And we got to 1:07:46.440 --> 1:07:50.200 have those guys because or that culture that you talked about, 1:07:50.640 --> 1:07:52.680 that culture is great. Your fans will never get to see. 1:07:52.720 --> 1:07:54.840 It's one spoke on the wheel for me. I mean 1:07:55.280 --> 1:07:57.600 you need it, how important it is, it depends on 1:07:57.680 --> 1:08:00.720 how good you are. I think it comes down that. Yeah, 1:08:00.880 --> 1:08:04.160 I look, I think to me, Uh, you gotta have 1:08:04.840 --> 1:08:07.800 we guys, not me guys. And I don't care about 1:08:08.120 --> 1:08:10.120 you know, Leadership to me is is to me, tends 1:08:10.120 --> 1:08:12.240 to be an overblown thing. But you just gotta have 1:08:12.280 --> 1:08:14.800 guys who want to play and win football games. Well, 1:08:14.880 --> 1:08:16.720 probably one of the great leaders that we we had 1:08:16.720 --> 1:08:19.120 the opportunity to play with, Joe barely said a word. 1:08:19.400 --> 1:08:23.960 Dwight Stevenson and and but when Dwight said something, everybody 1:08:24.040 --> 1:08:26.640 listened to what he said everybody. And he was that 1:08:26.760 --> 1:08:29.960 guy that led by example, by go out, practiced hard, 1:08:30.200 --> 1:08:32.400 worked hard. No one worked harder than him, no one 1:08:32.439 --> 1:08:34.960 practiced harder on him, and no one played better than him. 1:08:35.040 --> 1:08:37.479 And that that comes across uh in another way. You 1:08:37.520 --> 1:08:39.559 don't have to be a verbal guy to be a leader, 1:08:40.000 --> 1:08:45.000 but you got if you're not, you respected and he's 1:08:45.000 --> 1:08:47.760 out there doing stuff, you got a big balls to 1:08:47.880 --> 1:08:50.400 not do the same thing. But you know that's I 1:08:50.479 --> 1:08:52.040 start to say their names. I don't want to throw 1:08:52.080 --> 1:08:54.240 guys under the bus. But we had guys who were late, 1:08:55.120 --> 1:09:01.160 guys like don't you would go if I could touch now, 1:09:01.880 --> 1:09:03.680 And the player told him back, I know, but you 1:09:03.760 --> 1:09:07.479 don't have any better and you won't for a while, 1:09:07.600 --> 1:09:09.760 so you won't be cutting me. Well, I'm gonna leave you. 1:09:09.880 --> 1:09:11.519 I'm gonna leave you with my only, my only don 1:09:11.560 --> 1:09:14.599 Shola cutting the guy on the spot moment. We're we're 1:09:14.680 --> 1:09:19.240 training camp at St. Thomas University with beautiful facility, potholes 1:09:19.240 --> 1:09:21.760 in the parking lots, staying the dorm on one side, 1:09:21.800 --> 1:09:24.040 had our locker room on the other side, and just 1:09:24.320 --> 1:09:26.560 to the west of that was our practice field, and 1:09:26.680 --> 1:09:29.639 all surrounding the practice field where a bunch of trees 1:09:29.760 --> 1:09:32.080 was like a little mini forest out there. And we 1:09:32.160 --> 1:09:35.880 had one kid who was a rookie overslept, overslept for 1:09:35.920 --> 1:09:38.599 a training camp, and you can see the parking lot 1:09:38.640 --> 1:09:40.479 from the practice field. All of a sudden, you see 1:09:40.520 --> 1:09:42.880 this guy bobbing and weaving between the cars right, and 1:09:42.920 --> 1:09:44.519 everyone's gonna say with hey, what's that over there? You know? 1:09:44.600 --> 1:09:46.880 Now next you know, everybody's looking. So the guy, the 1:09:46.920 --> 1:09:49.960 guy's late, obviously bobbing and weaving through the cars, gets 1:09:50.000 --> 1:09:53.000 into the locker room, puts his ship on, puts his helmet, 1:09:53.040 --> 1:09:56.680 and pads on. Comes running back, dodging the weaving through 1:09:56.720 --> 1:09:59.600 the cars, goes through the dorm, goes remember how you 1:09:59.640 --> 1:10:02.519 go through a little walkway, comes through the back, goes 1:10:02.600 --> 1:10:06.479 through the forest, comes out right behind practice, climbs over 1:10:06.560 --> 1:10:10.160 the fence, climbs over the fence, gets on the field 1:10:10.360 --> 1:10:13.479 and kind of snuggles up behind everybody. As you're standing 1:10:13.520 --> 1:10:15.240 there in the group, you all the offensive guys, and 1:10:15.520 --> 1:10:17.200 you know they've got their backs to the fence. He 1:10:17.320 --> 1:10:19.200 kind of crawls and gets in the fence there, and 1:10:19.520 --> 1:10:21.080 you know, for a little bit, and and you see 1:10:21.200 --> 1:10:22.800 him all of a sudden he starting to get a man, 1:10:23.240 --> 1:10:24.600 Who I made that? I made that? And all of 1:10:24.600 --> 1:10:28.840 a sudden she was es, where the hell you been, coach, 1:10:28.880 --> 1:10:31.320 I'm right here.

The 1:10:53.920 --> 1:10:55.479 only thing you did do He didn't surf and tie 1:10:55.479 --> 1:10:57.880 through the parking a lot this time, he just walks. Ready, 1:10:58.920 --> 1:11:01.640 that's that crappy way by having to climb over the 1:11:01.720 --> 1:11:04.080 fence to go home.
