Tons of 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:03.120 competition and a really strong showing from all three levels 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.520 of the defense. We'll tell you how Cater Coohu and 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.959 David Long Junior made a bunch of plays and hear 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.760 from them as well. Tally all the pressures and TFLs 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.000 from the front seven break down, quarterback to a tongue 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.280 of Iiloa's day. We're gonna hear from Long and Cater, 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.960 Jalen Waddle, Javon holland Braxon Barrios, and so much more 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.399 from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.160 This is the Draft Time podcast. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:30.000 May gaff first. No Coach mcdanielis warning we're gonna get 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.200 him every other day, so that means more notes in 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.360 the podcast for you guys. But I did take very 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.480 very extensive notes on this day, and I'm pretty pumped 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:38.800 up to. 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:39.680 Talk about all of that. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.080 So we start the day with the news of the 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.000 day and it's not great. We'll see what happens. I mean, 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.480 we don't have word on just yet. But Jalen Ramsey 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.480 exited practice towards the end of the day, was attended 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.240 to by the trainers before exiting on a cart, and 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.640 it was I would say ten minutes before the end 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.120 of practice that he endured this injury. Got back up 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.000 and went back down to the ground, walks over to 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.600 the sideline and then gets looked at by trainers before 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.280 practice ends, and then they lit him up on the 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.440 cart and take him off, which is pretty commonplace when 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.840 an injury happens like that towards the end of the day, 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:10.720 so that's all we know. 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:11.400 At the moment. 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.839 He did make one of the best plays so far 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.200 of the early training camp. 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:16.240 Two days in. 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.800 There was a look where Miami showed like press single high, 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.000 like we're gonna bring the house, like one of the 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.280 classic looks that you would see from the defense a 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.880 year ago. And from there, that type of look typically 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.799 indicates for you know, the quarterback for Tua, that you 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.440 might have some one on one chances outside, and that's 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.120 what he had going up against Jalen Wattle and Jalen 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.840 Ramsey on this particular play. Sure enough, he saw it 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.120 went after a quick throw out that way, but I 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.720 thought Ramsey showed you why he's Jalen Ramsey on that play. 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.640 He mirrors at the line, flips the hips, stays and 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.440 fas gets his head back and pins waddle to the perimeter. 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.520 They both went up for the ball and it was 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.680 broken up. Very very good play and the Penguin Jalen 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.519 Wattle touched on this interaction with Jalen a bit today 0:02:59.520 --> 0:02:59.960 after practic. 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.160 I mean, it's great he had. He had a great 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.040 play on me. Special play today on me today. So 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.120 going out there and competing against a guy like that, 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.760 that caliber each and every day, you don't got no 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.280 choice but to bring it. And you know, uh, he's 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.440 es specially he brings a different dynamic to our team. 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.840 So it's always good playing with you know, great special 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:19.480 players like that. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.360 And how about how Jalen has helped Jalen in his 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:23.119 game so far? 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.040 Just tell me where I can where I can get 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.919 better at what he's seen from his perspective that made 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.680 him make the play. So he just helped me out. 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.959 You know, O g to a younger guy, So he 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:34.040 just helped me out. 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.480 And so you hear Jalen Ramsey there being praised by 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.040 Jaylen Waddle. But another defensive back shine today on a 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.040 defense that I thought really scored a pretty substantial win 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.040 in terms of the lopside of nature of the practice. 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.320 I thought Day one went heavily to the offense. I 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.960 thought Day two went heavily to the defense. Let's go 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.640 ahead and start here with cater COO who who I mean? Gosh, 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.240 I don't know how much more I can say about 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:56.880 the guy. I think I was telling someone of the stands, 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.040 you know before practice, like I went back and watched 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.680 some tape this summer. You know, Cater is not just 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.040 like a cool story. It's not why he's so talked about. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.480 He's just a damn good football player. The tape showed 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.400 that last year, and we're seeing it here early on 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.800 in practice. And I got a really cool answer from 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:15.280 Tua talking about his interception of Tua during seven on sevens. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.080 So the way it went was kind of like this. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.880 The middle of the field was open, which typically that's 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.320 you know, too high means middlefield open. Single high means 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.480 middlefield closed. And that changes how quarterbacks want to attack 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.440 the deep portion of the field in the passing game, 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.800 and so typically you get more of your seam shots, 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.760 right throws down the middle, and Tua tries to drop 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.320 this layered throw over the top against this middlefield open 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.880 with Cater who was playing that shrail underneath Tyreek type 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.680 of position, and Tua threw it before Cater's head got 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.839 turned around. And that's a throw We've seen Tua just 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.160 drill time and time again. Right, I can go back 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.480 to that rookie season against the Cardinals and J. T. O'Sullivan, 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:55.000 the great quarterback film room Guru, the former NFL quarterback 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.320 himself breaks down quarterback play and he talks about throwing 0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:59.840 over the top of the defense when they have their 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.799 turn to you as the quarterback, and how that allows 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.640 them only to defend the width of their shoulders. 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.160 So I feel like that's what this was. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.520 Where Tua said, I see twenty or number four now 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.880 he changed his number. Number four is back. All I 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.120 can see is the jersey or the back of his helmet. 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:15.720 So when I go ahead and layer this thing over 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.120 the top of his head, and he did. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:17.799 He put the ball. 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.600 I think Tyreek would have caught it for a huge 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.480 gain if Cater did not snap his head back around 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.520 and get his head back to make the play on 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.760 the football so impressive. And I had a chance to 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.120 talk to him after the fact of like what tells 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.720 you you can go ahead and make that play? And 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.880 he talked about how reading a certain route that way, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.800 if a player you know, winds up in a certain 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.480 landmark with a certain coverage, we have that I know 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.320 that I can make that play there because the only 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.200 other option for him to go is to throw it 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.440 to this portion of the field or try me. So 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.480 I have to find the ball right there and Cater 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.359 did that and made a great play on it. And 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.160 it just wasn't just that one play that he made. 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:52.960 I mean he made a handful of plays. I had 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.640 him with a forced incompletion during that same seven on 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.880 seven period, another pass breakup in team period, and just 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.479 several contested the catch point. We know how loaded this 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.159 cornerback room is, right Like, I watched him go through 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.839 drills among all those guys and I would be hard 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.960 pressed to pick anybody else and say they move as 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:11.760 well as Cater does. The way that he clicks and 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.200 closes the transition the hips, and how he gets in 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.400 and out of breaks. I'm so high on the way 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.520 this young man plays the game. And I was telling, 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.760 you know, I think I was texting with Kyle Krab saying, like, man, 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.039 the way they've constructed the cornerback room here, Like you know, 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.279 fast forward whenever the end of the career of guys 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.320 like Jalen Ramsey and Xavier and Howard comes up, You're gonna, 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:32.719 I think, be able to pick it right back up 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.800 and just you know, have a pipeline of these young 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.080 guys because I think both he and Cam Smith have 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.960 just been excellent so far and how it gives you 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.520 a lot of really good balance because obviously X and 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.200 Jalen make you know top dollar as they've earned in 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.240 their careers. But to have you know, a UDFA rookie 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.040 like cater Co who a second round rookie like Cam 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.720 Smith on those rookie contracts, it gives you ultimate balance 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.440 and depth and it just it's good every single way 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:57.920 you slice. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:58.880 It's really cool to see. 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.080 But for Cam Smith, just continue to come away and 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.880 pressed by how he works through individual seven on seven 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:05.479 team period. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.240 He's very well involved in all that stuff. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.040 Had some good battles day with Braxon Barrios and Braxon 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.000 scored a long touchdown in today's practice with a really 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.840 good ball, really good to catch and finished by Braxton 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.800 to get through all the way to the end zone. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.120 But Cam Smith, man like those players, will happen, but 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.160 he's just been so solid and consistent all OTAs into 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.040 training camp now for a couple of days. So I 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.160 wanted to go ahead and ask Jalen Wattle, who goes 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.920 up against a guy like Cam Smith all the time. 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.200 What you've seen so far. 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:35.280 From the rookie man CA Cams Cam's great. I think 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.520 he's really you know, find his stride now getting into 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.600 a training camp, starting to get more familiar with, you know, 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.680 the calls and being in his stance and kind of 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.320 homing in and trusting what he sees. So camp's been great. 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:48.000 He given us. 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:48.720 Great looks out there. 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.480 I think he gonna be a great player for a 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:52.600 long time in his league. 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.560 And it wasn't just the defensive backs and Xaving Howard 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.560 got targeted. I think once in this practice will come 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.760 back to that later. So those guys continue to get 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.440 the I done back on that backside, but the front 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.040 seven was cooking today too. Man pressures were not a 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.240 rarity in this practice. They had good work against the 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.920 running game as well. I think it's pretty safe to 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:12.880 say this was a decisive win for the defense today, 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.160 which makes it one to one on the training camp 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.760 scoreboard so far. I would say in my estimation, look, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.920 if Cater's not wearing the orange jersey tomorrow, my pick's 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.280 going to be David Long Junior. I'm just gonna read 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.320 a note from my practice notes that I actually copied 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.160 and paste like I think it was four times. 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:29.239 Here's the quote. 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.720 Long keys and shoots a gap to impact the play 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.360 in the backfield, probably a tackle for loss at best 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.720 no gain. And this seriously happened several times. I think 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.920 the thing I like about it most is it's not 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.240 like it's not some deficiency or breakdown along the offensive 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.840 line or you know, a player getting beat badly. He 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.400 just made a play and he does it in a 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.200 flash that essentially puts him in a position where the 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.640 offensive line it doesn't matter. Like it's like the perfect pass. Right, 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.280 you can't defend a perfect pass. You can't defend a 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.360 linebacker who's already got a head start shooting your gap 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.680 when you haven't got out of the blockshet he does 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:02.319 it all. 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.160 The damn time. It's pretty crazy. 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.520 I've got this segment coming up on a podcast with 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.679 Andy Cohen discussing Zach Thomas's Hall of Fame induction. We 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.079 talked about how unnerving it was for Peyton Man to 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.320 go up against a guy like Zach Thomas. And if 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.680 you look at, you know, Peyton's career stats against Miami 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.400 and then everybody else, there's a substantial drop off. And 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.400 that wasn't you know, that was against an offensive line 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.920 who was pretty dominant, with Jeff Saturday in the middle 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.000 of that line. Eddrin James behind it. And I'm just 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.840 making that example because like there was nothing that offensive 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.640 line and that quarterback could do when a linebacker makes 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.439 a play like that, not to compare the two players, 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.040 but just in terms of how he's making plays that 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.079 are in a lot of ways indefensible. 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:42.160 On the other side. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.280 So he just looks to me to be in mid 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.840 season form when it comes to his diagnose, go and finish. 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.040 And there were plays that he also didn't make, but 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.719 because of his presence and disruption of the play and 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.439 the way he played with anticipation, like he would force 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.600 the back Like let's say he shoots the B gap 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.360 front side and you've got Raykwon Davis playing the one 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.040 shade on the back side of the formation where you 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.800 can get to that you know, cutback lane easier because 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.559 the center wants to wall you off from the front side. Well, 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.240 David Long shoots that B gap and basically says, you're 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.760 not going this way. Your only other option then is 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.520 to bend it back, and then you bend it right 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.960 back into Raekwon Davis or whoever it might be, who 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.400 makes a big TfL right there too. So it's not 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.600 just the plays he makes and you know, not assist tackles, 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.360 but non box score assists, if that makes sense. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:29.800 What a heck of a player he is. 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:31.800 I caught up with David Long after practice and we 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.440 had this chat about how he's acclimating so quickly, how 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.120 it feels like he's coming along and getting the defense 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.360 to be second nature, and also working alongside coach Anthony 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.960 Campanelli in that linebacker room. Let's go ahead and run 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.120 that back and forth with me and David Long fifty. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.360 One out there chaps and making plays. Yeah, I would 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:48.240 pretty quickly. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.000 Happened for you in terms of just like making an impact. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.880 I'm curious how they all came together for you t 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:53.800 to have out in practice, you. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.839 Know, just being here in the screen taking a lot 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.959 of this stuff home. You know, it's a lot of 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.080 you know, a lot that goes in to the to 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.280 this defense, you know, but a lot of it, Uh, 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.360 I'm kind of used to. It's kind of carry over. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:07.400 Uh. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:08.960 But also you just know, at the end of the day, 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.120 it's football. Once you once you get a feel for 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.120 once you get back into the groove of it, you know, 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:14.040 it's just like riding a bike. 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.120 It's Coach over rules kind of carry over from defensive 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.360 defense where you know, like you we're not going to 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:18.720 shoot this gap big CA's p right. 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.120 Right right, It's certain certain rules carry over, but you know, 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:22.560 all or now it's kind of like the you know, 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:23.720 the end of the day's this defense. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.640 Yeah, that's kind of been your game for a long time, right, Yeah, 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:26.520 you put the prep work in that. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.240 Leads to big plays like yeah, most definitely. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:28.480 Yeah. 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.200 So, uh you feel like you're kind of coming along 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:31.800 already in terms of I mean there's just two days 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.319 out here, but you're talking about the preparation. Do you 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.319 feel like it's kind of becoming second nature for you? 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.360 Yeah, for sure. But it's like like I said, it's 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.360 a it's started training camp, you know, it's it's a 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.800 long way to go, a lot more to learn. So 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.280 I'm j I'm just excited, you know, to see this 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:43.760 all come along. 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.560 You've been jointing working with coach Camp on there, so 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:46.880 you guys getting some work before practice. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.880 Yeah yeah, yeah, like we we we we are building 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.480 a relationship with me and Camp started in OTAs just 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.840 getting to know him personally outside of football, so you know, 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.520 when it comes to you know, us him him coaching 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.439 me on the field. You know, it's you know, it's 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.440 it's cool, just like you know it's like a feather 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.680 or his family, so anything. You know, I'm not taking 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.800 anything personally because I know what type of coach he is. 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.600 He's a gid after a coach, you what. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:08.080 I like him. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:12.800 So I really just love watching like routine work, implementation. 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.040 That's what camp's all about. You study the stuff in 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.679 the morning, you put it in, you go out there 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.959 and repetent practice, you correct it after practice and try 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.439 to get it better the next day. And I just 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.120 feel like David Long getting his own stuff right, but 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:24.920 also the way he's going to help guys around him 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.240 is going to be just another one of these guys 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.480 that makes a big, big impact that we brought in 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.720 this offseason. And it was cool to see, you know, 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.200 that implementation before practice because he and Jerome Baker were 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.760 working on the bag with Anthony Campanelli and it looked 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.960 like a very instructive moment to me. Obviously I'm not 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.240 down there listening to what they're doing, but I feel 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.600 like we're just so lucky to have I put coach 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.640 Austin Clark in this category. Two coach Campinelli and coach Clark. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.400 I think it speaks pretty highly of coaches ability and 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.520 competence when they are retained across multiple coaching staffs. And 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.240 this will now be I guess technically the fourth defensive 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.840 play caller those guys have been under. So you know, 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.480 in coach camp during the install works very closely with 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.880 coach Vic Fangio getting that stuff installed early on. So 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.079 seeing the way those guys go through it, the way 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.200 Baker and Long and Duke Riley and Channing Tyndall were 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.720 fortunate to have smart players with smart coaches to really 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.200 help expedite this process of getting this really complex, really 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.959 effective defense installed, and these guys have a big part 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.800 of that. I thought Jerome had one of his best 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.560 plays that I've ever seen him have in terms of 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.560 you know, depth and coverage and making a play on 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.320 the football today. It was the play where Ramsey exited. 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.000 You know, he was working on Jalen or on Tyreek 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.600 kill i should say, in coverage and their feet kind 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.760 of got tangled and you know, we saw Ramsey exit. 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.240 But on the play it probably was going to be 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.679 a Tyreek catch, but Jerome kind of in that Fred 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.840 Warner from last year against San Francisco, getting depth to 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.199 make a pass breakup in the passing window in a 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.800 place that maybe a linebacker shouldn't be so good on 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.440 him for getting depth and kind of sacrificing the run 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:50.920 a little bit, like I have to get, you know, 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.400 fifteen yards of my drop here, because if I try 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:54.800 to play the run at all, I can't get back 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.480 that far. It was a kin to the play that 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.120 Warner made against Twaddle in the Niners game last year. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.800 Jerome had a really pass breakup on that play, and 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.400 speaking of coverage plays by linebackers, Chang Tyndall nearly snagged 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:06.720 a pick. I wish you would have caught the damn 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.640 thing off Skylar Thompson and seven on sevens he peeled 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.720 off his man a little hookup route that Scaler tried 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.440 to throw underneath to Elijah Higgins jumped in front. The 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.120 ball was behind both of them, so I think the 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.199 bad ball probably cost him the pick, But it hit 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.440 off the backside of his arm and fell incomplete. 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:21.720 So good recognition there. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.040 From the second year, linebackers got to finish that play, 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.080 all right, go ahead and take our first break right 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.120 here and come back on the other side and talk 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.120 about this pass rush, more observations, and we'll crack into 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.840 our offense later on as well. That's next Draft Time podcast, 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.480 your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.880 So I love to get out to the practice field 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.320 early and just kind of sort of take it in, 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.080 especially in the first couple of days of camp. I'm 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.720 sure by the time we have preseason games, maybe I 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:49.840 won't feel that same way. 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.920 But one thing I noticed today was I watched. 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.880 Mike McDaniel make his rounds around the practice field, and 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.520 you can set your watch to interactions like this that 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.760 Mike has with the players. Coach approaches the player, the 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.440 player is probably talking to a teammate or a coach 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:08.000 or someone else recognizes the McDaniel's coming, leans in to 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.320 hear him over the loud music. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:10.440 It's very loud. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.040 Down there when you're when they're going through individual drills, 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.360 and then both men kind of step away and like 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.120 create space from each other and go their separate ways 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.320 and kind of have this like huge smile, laugh, wink 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.760 nod type of situation. He does this with all the 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.840 position groups too. It's not just the quarterbacks or his 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.520 favorite wide receivers, although he told us last year the 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.280 edge position was his favorite. It's not just the offense, 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.640 it's everybody. And he goes through and does this. Saw 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.760 him do it with Jalen Ramsey, Javon Holland, and before practicing, 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:38.200 they just they eat it up. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:38.400 Man. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.600 So you know, we hear the testimonies about how much 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.880 guys love playing for coach, but I think this observation 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.840 of mine really demonstrates that fact. Speaking of guys that 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.000 everyone loves Coach Madison's the best ten on ten two nine, 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.320 two nine, whatever you want to call him. As I'm 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.280 walking to the stands today over by where the water 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.960 and the VIP tent is down in the corner those 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:00.920 of you guys that come to practice what I'm talking about, 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.240 and I see somebody rubbing up footballs on the concrete. 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.360 Now you guys might not know this, but before the game, 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.600
