Speaker 2: to a looking slips about.
Speaker 3: A wide Dolphin touchdown, ty Riquel, uncrelievable, just blue by
Speaker 3: it for.
Speaker 2: A second time. Don't know where he was going right away?
Speaker 2: Want to hit that man.
Speaker 3: I'm want to help you.
Speaker 2: Someone step on your man.
Speaker 3: Away Wattle, Wattle to a shotgun back to throw, looking
Speaker 3: at them's up myers touchdown.
Speaker 2: It's Waddle his sixth touchdown.
Speaker 4: Pat, how's the day?
Speaker 2: Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins?
Speaker 3: Now check your pulse if you're not.
Speaker 2: What is up? Dolphins? And welcome to.
Speaker 3: The Draft Time podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins podcast Network,
Speaker 3: covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2: How's it going? Everybody?
Speaker 3: I am your host, Travis Wingfield And on today's show,
Speaker 3: it is a recap of day number two. Tons of
Speaker 3: competition and a really strong showing from all three levels
Speaker 3: of the defense. We'll tell you how Cater Coohu and
Speaker 3: David Long Junior made a bunch of plays and hear
Speaker 3: from them as well. Tally all the pressures and TFLs
Speaker 3: from the front seven break down, quarterback to a tongue
Speaker 3: of Iiloa's day. We're gonna hear from Long and Cater,
Speaker 3: Jalen Waddle, Javon holland Braxon Barrios, and so much more
Speaker 3: from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 2: This is the Draft Time podcast.
Speaker 3: May gaff first. No Coach mcdanielis warning we're gonna get
Speaker 3: him every other day, so that means more notes in
Speaker 3: the podcast for you guys. But I did take very
Speaker 3: very extensive notes on this day, and I'm pretty pumped
Speaker 3: up to.
Speaker 2: Talk about all of that.
Speaker 3: So we start the day with the news of the
Speaker 3: day and it's not great. We'll see what happens. I mean,
Speaker 3: we don't have word on just yet. But Jalen Ramsey
Speaker 3: exited practice towards the end of the day, was attended
Speaker 3: to by the trainers before exiting on a cart, and
Speaker 3: it was I would say ten minutes before the end
Speaker 3: of practice that he endured this injury. Got back up
Speaker 3: and went back down to the ground, walks over to
Speaker 3: the sideline and then gets looked at by trainers before
Speaker 3: practice ends, and then they lit him up on the
Speaker 3: cart and take him off, which is pretty commonplace when
Speaker 3: an injury happens like that towards the end of the day,
Speaker 3: so that's all we know.
Speaker 2: At the moment.
Speaker 3: He did make one of the best plays so far
Speaker 3: of the early training camp.
Speaker 2: Two days in.
Speaker 3: There was a look where Miami showed like press single high,
Speaker 3: like we're gonna bring the house, like one of the
Speaker 3: classic looks that you would see from the defense a
Speaker 3: year ago. And from there, that type of look typically
Speaker 3: indicates for you know, the quarterback for Tua, that you
Speaker 3: might have some one on one chances outside, and that's
Speaker 3: what he had going up against Jalen Wattle and Jalen
Speaker 3: Ramsey on this particular play. Sure enough, he saw it
Speaker 3: went after a quick throw out that way, but I
Speaker 3: thought Ramsey showed you why he's Jalen Ramsey on that play.
Speaker 3: He mirrors at the line, flips the hips, stays and
Speaker 3: fas gets his head back and pins waddle to the perimeter.
Speaker 3: They both went up for the ball and it was
Speaker 3: broken up. Very very good play and the Penguin Jalen
Speaker 3: Wattle touched on this interaction with Jalen a bit today
Speaker 3: after practic.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's great he had. He had a great
Speaker 4: play on me. Special play today on me today. So
Speaker 4: going out there and competing against a guy like that,
Speaker 4: that caliber each and every day, you don't got no
Speaker 4: choice but to bring it. And you know, uh, he's
Speaker 4: es specially he brings a different dynamic to our team.
Speaker 4: So it's always good playing with you know, great special
Speaker 4: players like that.
Speaker 3: And how about how Jalen has helped Jalen in his
Speaker 3: game so far?
Speaker 4: Just tell me where I can where I can get
Speaker 4: better at what he's seen from his perspective that made
Speaker 4: him make the play. So he just helped me out.
Speaker 4: You know, O g to a younger guy, So he
Speaker 4: just helped me out.
Speaker 3: And so you hear Jalen Ramsey there being praised by
Speaker 3: Jaylen Waddle. But another defensive back shine today on a
Speaker 3: defense that I thought really scored a pretty substantial win
Speaker 3: in terms of the lopside of nature of the practice.
Speaker 3: I thought Day one went heavily to the offense. I
Speaker 3: thought Day two went heavily to the defense. Let's go
Speaker 3: ahead and start here with cater COO who who I mean? Gosh,
Speaker 3: I don't know how much more I can say about
Speaker 3: the guy. I think I was telling someone of the stands,
Speaker 3: you know before practice, like I went back and watched
Speaker 3: some tape this summer. You know, Cater is not just
Speaker 3: like a cool story. It's not why he's so talked about.
Speaker 3: He's just a damn good football player. The tape showed
Speaker 3: that last year, and we're seeing it here early on
Speaker 3: in practice. And I got a really cool answer from
Speaker 3: Tua talking about his interception of Tua during seven on sevens.
Speaker 3: So the way it went was kind of like this.
Speaker 3: The middle of the field was open, which typically that's
Speaker 3: you know, too high means middlefield open. Single high means
Speaker 3: middlefield closed. And that changes how quarterbacks want to attack
Speaker 3: the deep portion of the field in the passing game,
Speaker 3: and so typically you get more of your seam shots,
Speaker 3: right throws down the middle, and Tua tries to drop
Speaker 3: this layered throw over the top against this middlefield open
Speaker 3: with Cater who was playing that shrail underneath Tyreek type
Speaker 3: of position, and Tua threw it before Cater's head got
Speaker 3: turned around. And that's a throw We've seen Tua just
Speaker 3: drill time and time again. Right, I can go back
Speaker 3: to that rookie season against the Cardinals and J. T. O'Sullivan,
Speaker 3: the great quarterback film room Guru, the former NFL quarterback
Speaker 3: himself breaks down quarterback play and he talks about throwing
Speaker 3: over the top of the defense when they have their
Speaker 3: turn to you as the quarterback, and how that allows
Speaker 3: them only to defend the width of their shoulders.
Speaker 2: So I feel like that's what this was.
Speaker 3: Where Tua said, I see twenty or number four now
Speaker 3: he changed his number. Number four is back. All I
Speaker 3: can see is the jersey or the back of his helmet.
Speaker 3: So when I go ahead and layer this thing over
Speaker 3: the top of his head, and he did.
Speaker 2: He put the ball.
Speaker 3: I think Tyreek would have caught it for a huge
Speaker 3: gain if Cater did not snap his head back around
Speaker 3: and get his head back to make the play on
Speaker 3: the football so impressive. And I had a chance to
Speaker 3: talk to him after the fact of like what tells
Speaker 3: you you can go ahead and make that play? And
Speaker 3: he talked about how reading a certain route that way,
Speaker 3: if a player you know, winds up in a certain
Speaker 3: landmark with a certain coverage, we have that I know
Speaker 3: that I can make that play there because the only
Speaker 3: other option for him to go is to throw it
Speaker 3: to this portion of the field or try me. So
Speaker 3: I have to find the ball right there and Cater
Speaker 3: did that and made a great play on it. And
Speaker 3: it just wasn't just that one play that he made.
Speaker 3: I mean he made a handful of plays. I had
Speaker 3: him with a forced incompletion during that same seven on
Speaker 3: seven period, another pass breakup in team period, and just
Speaker 3: several contested the catch point. We know how loaded this
Speaker 3: cornerback room is, right Like, I watched him go through
Speaker 3: drills among all those guys and I would be hard
Speaker 3: pressed to pick anybody else and say they move as
Speaker 3: well as Cater does. The way that he clicks and
Speaker 3: closes the transition the hips, and how he gets in
Speaker 3: and out of breaks. I'm so high on the way
Speaker 3: this young man plays the game. And I was telling,
Speaker 3: you know, I think I was texting with Kyle Krab saying, like, man,
Speaker 3: the way they've constructed the cornerback room here, Like you know,
Speaker 3: fast forward whenever the end of the career of guys
Speaker 3: like Jalen Ramsey and Xavier and Howard comes up, You're gonna,
Speaker 3: I think, be able to pick it right back up
Speaker 3: and just you know, have a pipeline of these young
Speaker 3: guys because I think both he and Cam Smith have
Speaker 3: just been excellent so far and how it gives you
Speaker 3: a lot of really good balance because obviously X and
Speaker 3: Jalen make you know top dollar as they've earned in
Speaker 3: their careers. But to have you know, a UDFA rookie
Speaker 3: like cater Co who a second round rookie like Cam
Speaker 3: Smith on those rookie contracts, it gives you ultimate balance
Speaker 3: and depth and it just it's good every single way
Speaker 3: you slice.
Speaker 2: It's really cool to see.
Speaker 3: But for Cam Smith, just continue to come away and
Speaker 3: pressed by how he works through individual seven on seven
Speaker 3: team period.
Speaker 2: He's very well involved in all that stuff.
Speaker 3: Had some good battles day with Braxon Barrios and Braxon
Speaker 3: scored a long touchdown in today's practice with a really
Speaker 3: good ball, really good to catch and finished by Braxton
Speaker 3: to get through all the way to the end zone.
Speaker 3: But Cam Smith, man like those players, will happen, but
Speaker 3: he's just been so solid and consistent all OTAs into
Speaker 3: training camp now for a couple of days. So I
Speaker 3: wanted to go ahead and ask Jalen Wattle, who goes
Speaker 3: up against a guy like Cam Smith all the time.
Speaker 2: What you've seen so far.
Speaker 4: From the rookie man CA Cams Cam's great. I think
Speaker 4: he's really you know, find his stride now getting into
Speaker 4: a training camp, starting to get more familiar with, you know,
Speaker 4: the calls and being in his stance and kind of
Speaker 4: homing in and trusting what he sees. So camp's been great.
Speaker 4: He given us.
Speaker 5: Great looks out there.
Speaker 4: I think he gonna be a great player for a
Speaker 4: long time in his league.
Speaker 3: And it wasn't just the defensive backs and Xaving Howard
Speaker 3: got targeted. I think once in this practice will come
Speaker 3: back to that later. So those guys continue to get
Speaker 3: the I done back on that backside, but the front
Speaker 3: seven was cooking today too. Man pressures were not a
Speaker 3: rarity in this practice. They had good work against the
Speaker 3: running game as well. I think it's pretty safe to
Speaker 3: say this was a decisive win for the defense today,
Speaker 3: which makes it one to one on the training camp
Speaker 3: scoreboard so far. I would say in my estimation, look,
Speaker 3: if Cater's not wearing the orange jersey tomorrow, my pick's
Speaker 3: going to be David Long Junior. I'm just gonna read
Speaker 3: a note from my practice notes that I actually copied
Speaker 3: and paste like I think it was four times.
Speaker 2: Here's the quote.
Speaker 3: Long keys and shoots a gap to impact the play
Speaker 3: in the backfield, probably a tackle for loss at best
Speaker 3: no gain. And this seriously happened several times. I think
Speaker 3: the thing I like about it most is it's not
Speaker 3: like it's not some deficiency or breakdown along the offensive
Speaker 3: line or you know, a player getting beat badly. He
Speaker 3: just made a play and he does it in a
Speaker 3: flash that essentially puts him in a position where the
Speaker 3: offensive line it doesn't matter. Like it's like the perfect pass. Right,
Speaker 3: you can't defend a perfect pass. You can't defend a
Speaker 3: linebacker who's already got a head start shooting your gap
Speaker 3: when you haven't got out of the blockshet he does
Speaker 3: it all.
Speaker 2: The damn time. It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: I've got this segment coming up on a podcast with
Speaker 3: Andy Cohen discussing Zach Thomas's Hall of Fame induction. We
Speaker 3: talked about how unnerving it was for Peyton Man to
Speaker 3: go up against a guy like Zach Thomas. And if
Speaker 3: you look at, you know, Peyton's career stats against Miami
Speaker 3: and then everybody else, there's a substantial drop off. And
Speaker 3: that wasn't you know, that was against an offensive line
Speaker 3: who was pretty dominant, with Jeff Saturday in the middle
Speaker 3: of that line. Eddrin James behind it. And I'm just
Speaker 3: making that example because like there was nothing that offensive
Speaker 3: line and that quarterback could do when a linebacker makes
Speaker 3: a play like that, not to compare the two players,
Speaker 3: but just in terms of how he's making plays that
Speaker 3: are in a lot of ways indefensible.
Speaker 2: On the other side.
Speaker 3: So he just looks to me to be in mid
Speaker 3: season form when it comes to his diagnose, go and finish.
Speaker 3: And there were plays that he also didn't make, but
Speaker 3: because of his presence and disruption of the play and
Speaker 3: the way he played with anticipation, like he would force
Speaker 3: the back Like let's say he shoots the B gap
Speaker 3: front side and you've got Raykwon Davis playing the one
Speaker 3: shade on the back side of the formation where you
Speaker 3: can get to that you know, cutback lane easier because
Speaker 3: the center wants to wall you off from the front side. Well,
Speaker 3: David Long shoots that B gap and basically says, you're
Speaker 3: not going this way. Your only other option then is
Speaker 3: to bend it back, and then you bend it right
Speaker 3: back into Raekwon Davis or whoever it might be, who
Speaker 3: makes a big TfL right there too. So it's not
Speaker 3: just the plays he makes and you know, not assist tackles,
Speaker 3: but non box score assists, if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: What a heck of a player he is.
Speaker 3: I caught up with David Long after practice and we
Speaker 3: had this chat about how he's acclimating so quickly, how
Speaker 3: it feels like he's coming along and getting the defense
Speaker 3: to be second nature, and also working alongside coach Anthony
Speaker 3: Campanelli in that linebacker room. Let's go ahead and run
Speaker 3: that back and forth with me and David Long fifty.
Speaker 2: One out there chaps and making plays. Yeah, I would
Speaker 2: pretty quickly.
Speaker 3: Happened for you in terms of just like making an impact.
Speaker 3: I'm curious how they all came together for you t
Speaker 3: to have out in practice, you.
Speaker 1: Know, just being here in the screen taking a lot
Speaker 1: of this stuff home. You know, it's a lot of
Speaker 1: you know, a lot that goes in to the to
Speaker 1: this defense, you know, but a lot of it, Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of used to. It's kind of carry over.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: But also you just know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's football. Once you once you get a feel for
Speaker 1: once you get back into the groove of it, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just like riding a bike.
Speaker 3: It's Coach over rules kind of carry over from defensive
Speaker 3: defense where you know, like you we're not going to
Speaker 3: shoot this gap big CA's p right.
Speaker 1: Right right, It's certain certain rules carry over, but you know,
Speaker 1: all or now it's kind of like the you know,
Speaker 1: the end of the day's this defense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of been your game for a long time, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you put the prep work in that.
Speaker 2: Leads to big plays like yeah, most definitely.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, uh you feel like you're kind of coming along
Speaker 3: already in terms of I mean there's just two days
Speaker 3: out here, but you're talking about the preparation. Do you
Speaker 3: feel like it's kind of becoming second nature for you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. But it's like like I said, it's
Speaker 1: a it's started training camp, you know, it's it's a
Speaker 1: long way to go, a lot more to learn. So
Speaker 1: I'm j I'm just excited, you know, to see this
Speaker 1: all come along.
Speaker 3: You've been jointing working with coach Camp on there, so
Speaker 3: you guys getting some work before practice.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, like we we we we are building
Speaker 1: a relationship with me and Camp started in OTAs just
Speaker 1: getting to know him personally outside of football, so you know,
Speaker 1: when it comes to you know, us him him coaching
Speaker 1: me on the field. You know, it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's cool, just like you know it's like a feather
Speaker 1: or his family, so anything. You know, I'm not taking
Speaker 1: anything personally because I know what type of coach he is.
Speaker 1: He's a gid after a coach, you what.
Speaker 6: I like him.
Speaker 3: So I really just love watching like routine work, implementation.
Speaker 3: That's what camp's all about. You study the stuff in
Speaker 3: the morning, you put it in, you go out there
Speaker 3: and repetent practice, you correct it after practice and try
Speaker 3: to get it better the next day. And I just
Speaker 3: feel like David Long getting his own stuff right, but
Speaker 3: also the way he's going to help guys around him
Speaker 3: is going to be just another one of these guys
Speaker 3: that makes a big, big impact that we brought in
Speaker 3: this offseason. And it was cool to see, you know,
Speaker 3: that implementation before practice because he and Jerome Baker were
Speaker 3: working on the bag with Anthony Campanelli and it looked
Speaker 3: like a very instructive moment to me. Obviously I'm not
Speaker 3: down there listening to what they're doing, but I feel
Speaker 3: like we're just so lucky to have I put coach
Speaker 3: Austin Clark in this category. Two coach Campinelli and coach Clark.
Speaker 3: I think it speaks pretty highly of coaches ability and
Speaker 3: competence when they are retained across multiple coaching staffs. And
Speaker 3: this will now be I guess technically the fourth defensive
Speaker 3: play caller those guys have been under. So you know,
Speaker 3: in coach camp during the install works very closely with
Speaker 3: coach Vic Fangio getting that stuff installed early on. So
Speaker 3: seeing the way those guys go through it, the way
Speaker 3: Baker and Long and Duke Riley and Channing Tyndall were
Speaker 3: fortunate to have smart players with smart coaches to really
Speaker 3: help expedite this process of getting this really complex, really
Speaker 3: effective defense installed, and these guys have a big part
Speaker 3: of that. I thought Jerome had one of his best
Speaker 3: plays that I've ever seen him have in terms of
Speaker 3: you know, depth and coverage and making a play on
Speaker 3: the football today. It was the play where Ramsey exited.
Speaker 3: You know, he was working on Jalen or on Tyreek
Speaker 3: kill i should say, in coverage and their feet kind
Speaker 3: of got tangled and you know, we saw Ramsey exit.
Speaker 3: But on the play it probably was going to be
Speaker 3: a Tyreek catch, but Jerome kind of in that Fred
Speaker 3: Warner from last year against San Francisco, getting depth to
Speaker 3: make a pass breakup in the passing window in a
Speaker 3: place that maybe a linebacker shouldn't be so good on
Speaker 3: him for getting depth and kind of sacrificing the run
Speaker 3: a little bit, like I have to get, you know,
Speaker 3: fifteen yards of my drop here, because if I try
Speaker 3: to play the run at all, I can't get back
Speaker 3: that far. It was a kin to the play that
Speaker 3: Warner made against Twaddle in the Niners game last year.
Speaker 3: Jerome had a really pass breakup on that play, and
Speaker 3: speaking of coverage plays by linebackers, Chang Tyndall nearly snagged
Speaker 3: a pick. I wish you would have caught the damn
Speaker 3: thing off Skylar Thompson and seven on sevens he peeled
Speaker 3: off his man a little hookup route that Scaler tried
Speaker 3: to throw underneath to Elijah Higgins jumped in front. The
Speaker 3: ball was behind both of them, so I think the
Speaker 3: bad ball probably cost him the pick, But it hit
Speaker 3: off the backside of his arm and fell incomplete.
Speaker 2: So good recognition there.
Speaker 3: From the second year, linebackers got to finish that play,
Speaker 3: all right, go ahead and take our first break right
Speaker 3: here and come back on the other side and talk
Speaker 3: about this pass rush, more observations, and we'll crack into
Speaker 3: our offense later on as well. That's next Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 3: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 3: So I love to get out to the practice field
Speaker 3: early and just kind of sort of take it in,
Speaker 3: especially in the first couple of days of camp. I'm
Speaker 3: sure by the time we have preseason games, maybe I
Speaker 3: won't feel that same way.
Speaker 2: But one thing I noticed today was I watched.
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel make his rounds around the practice field, and
Speaker 3: you can set your watch to interactions like this that
Speaker 3: Mike has with the players. Coach approaches the player, the
Speaker 3: player is probably talking to a teammate or a coach
Speaker 3: or someone else recognizes the McDaniel's coming, leans in to
Speaker 3: hear him over the loud music.
Speaker 2: It's very loud.
Speaker 3: Down there when you're when they're going through individual drills,
Speaker 3: and then both men kind of step away and like
Speaker 3: create space from each other and go their separate ways
Speaker 3: and kind of have this like huge smile, laugh, wink
Speaker 3: nod type of situation. He does this with all the
Speaker 3: position groups too. It's not just the quarterbacks or his
Speaker 3: favorite wide receivers, although he told us last year the
Speaker 3: edge position was his favorite. It's not just the offense,
Speaker 3: it's everybody. And he goes through and does this. Saw
Speaker 3: him do it with Jalen Ramsey, Javon Holland, and before practicing,
Speaker 3: they just they eat it up.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: So you know, we hear the testimonies about how much
Speaker 3: guys love playing for coach, but I think this observation
Speaker 3: of mine really demonstrates that fact. Speaking of guys that
Speaker 3: everyone loves Coach Madison's the best ten on ten two nine,
Speaker 3: two nine, whatever you want to call him. As I'm
Speaker 3: walking to the stands today over by where the water
Speaker 3: and the VIP tent is down in the corner those
Speaker 3: of you guys that come to practice what I'm talking about,
Speaker 3: and I see somebody rubbing up footballs on the concrete.
Speaker 3: Now you guys might not know this, but before the game,
Speaker 3: brand new footballs come into package and they I think
Speaker 3: the home team works them up.
Speaker 2: They rub them down and kind of rub some dirt
Speaker 2: onto them.
Speaker 3: To get that sheen off of it because it's so
Speaker 3: slippery when you have that fresh out of the package sheen.
Speaker 3: And I see this guy rubbing the footballs and the
Speaker 3: concrete and it's coach Sam, and I told him, I said,
Speaker 3: I never would have guessed you would use a sidewalk
Speaker 3: to rub up the footballs.
Speaker 2: And he said, hey, you don't have that buffer. You
Speaker 2: got to make do.
Speaker 3: And I also gave coach a hard time for his
Speaker 3: inaccurate balls during dbdrill yesterday and I said, hey, that's
Speaker 3: kind of what you're trying to do, right, give them
Speaker 3: off frame catches to make.
Speaker 2: And you got a big smile, ace face.
Speaker 3: And said, that's exactly the idea. Coach is the best man.
Speaker 3: He's so personable. We left off on the previous segment
Speaker 3: talking about off ball linebackers, but man, the I guess
Speaker 3: technically outside linebackers and frontline guys as well. The pressure
Speaker 3: was coming hot all day on Thursday, really from about
Speaker 3: the second and third team drill, because I thought the
Speaker 3: offense started off well, but then the pressure just kept
Speaker 3: piling up. And I'm tracking pass rush stats and look,
Speaker 3: this is hard without contact, it's hard without even pads on.
Speaker 3: But here's what I would say. The numbers were for
Speaker 3: going like a.
Speaker 2: Pro Football Focus box score.
Speaker 3: And also, no, I'm sure I missed a couple of
Speaker 3: plays here or there, so take it with a grain
Speaker 3: of salt.
Speaker 2: But here's what I saw.
Speaker 3: Emmanuel Ogba had two sacks, and actually I saw him
Speaker 3: in the lunch room after practicing. Asked him two sacks thing,
Speaker 3: he said, yeah, I think so, so confirm there. Christian
Speaker 3: Wilkins had a sack and a pressure. Bradley Chubb had
Speaker 3: a hit plus a very impressive stack and shed where
Speaker 3: he tried to like jump the play inside the tackle
Speaker 3: and then recognized the run was going out wide, which
Speaker 3: is the worst place to be if you do jump
Speaker 3: that inside. And then he works to get back outside
Speaker 3: of the tackle and turn the play back inside to
Speaker 3: funnel it back inside to Zack Steeler, who made the
Speaker 3: play on that particular rep. Jalen Twyeman a sack and
Speaker 3: two more pressures. He was a guy talked about OTA's
Speaker 3: a lot. I keep asking the question, what's the depth
Speaker 3: going to look like on the defensive line. Well, Jalen
Speaker 3: Twyman's making a case for himself. Cameron Good had a
Speaker 3: quarterback hit.
Speaker 2: Maybe a SI.
Speaker 3: I'm not ready to give it that. It was for
Speaker 3: sure a QB hit though in live situations. Mitchell Agude
Speaker 3: had a pressure and a really damn good edge set
Speaker 3: akin to the one I talked about with Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 3: Josiah Bronson had a pressure him and Twineman back in
Speaker 3: OTA's man both had good work, and then Raykwon Davis.
Speaker 3: This is the best two day run I've seen Rayquon
Speaker 3: have as a dolphin. He's been really really good. I
Speaker 3: had him with two pressures and then I would say
Speaker 3: a legit shot at three TFLs. I mean he's tagging off,
Speaker 3: so we can't officially say it's a tackle.
Speaker 2: But he's six foot.
Speaker 3: Seven, like three hundred and thirty five pounds, and he
Speaker 3: has the longest wingspan of the national football Like, I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure he's making those plays. He's looked really, really
Speaker 3: really good. He might have a chance at the Orange
Speaker 3: Jersey tomorrow. To me, I would rank it Cater and
Speaker 3: long are like one A, one B maybe even just
Speaker 3: both kind of tied for first. Those are my picks.
Speaker 3: Raykwan's my dark horse for Friday's Orange Jersey. Will update
Speaker 3: you on that on a Friday. But it was consistent
Speaker 3: and the way they work together on so many of
Speaker 3: the plays, like watching the install and then kind of
Speaker 3: have it come together and team and seeing kind of
Speaker 3: the slow process of the build. It's really cool to see,
Speaker 3: like the Bradley Chubb play I talked about, where he
Speaker 3: sets an edge and then Zach Steelers also working off
Speaker 3: the inside, you know, part of his man and sees
Speaker 3: the play flow back out wide. He's able to get
Speaker 3: back over a gap and cut the play off because
Speaker 3: you know, the running back wants to stretch Chubb wide
Speaker 3: on that particular play, the forced defender spread him wide
Speaker 3: and then cut it up off the inside there. But
Speaker 3: Zach Steeler's ability to recognize what's happening on that play
Speaker 3: and get back over into that gap.
Speaker 2: It's just good team defense. It's good run fitting.
Speaker 3: That's how you kind of want to draw it up there.
Speaker 2: So defense killed it.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the offense here a little bit, because
Speaker 3: they did get some wins as well, and we start
Speaker 3: at quarterback. Kind of just a hohme day, I would
Speaker 3: say for TUA, it does seem kind of pointless to
Speaker 3: keep noting this, but routes on air from TUA is
Speaker 3: like watching a well oiled assembly line, Like you have
Speaker 3: to put the headlights and the bumper and the steering
Speaker 3: wheel on and It's like all these different robotic parts
Speaker 3: that have to come together, and then at the end
Speaker 3: you have a.
Speaker 2: Cutlass or you know, I don't know cars. Is that
Speaker 2: a car?
Speaker 3: I don't know, But everything is in perfect sync nicity
Speaker 3: mechanically to put together the finished product, which is a
Speaker 3: pass on the upfield shoulder, taking the receiver right into
Speaker 3: the run after the catch away from the defense, depending
Speaker 3: on what the route calls for.
Speaker 2: It's you can set your watch to it.
Speaker 3: He did throw that pick to Kter Kohu, but to
Speaker 3: me that was more about the play from Cater because
Speaker 3: the previous two balls were on the money, perfectly timed,
Speaker 3: working off leverage of the defense, and then the pick.
Speaker 3: You know, after the pick, he bounced right back by
Speaker 3: splitting a trio of defenders to Jalen Waddle on an
Speaker 3: in breaker on what might have been a very long
Speaker 3: touchdown run in a game scenario.
Speaker 2: More on Waddle in a moment.
Speaker 3: After the Ramsey breakup that we mentioned off the top two,
Speaker 3: it came right back to a strike to Cedric Wilson
Speaker 3: that was just like, you couldn't have placed it any
Speaker 3: better into that same triangle right in stride.
Speaker 2: He was painting the corners too.
Speaker 3: It was on those throws today all things told, you know,
Speaker 3: no real explosives, I thought, where the day kind of
Speaker 3: got bogged down with some of the pressures and plays
Speaker 3: that just didn't happen, like he had to eat a
Speaker 3: few snaps because the pressure was too much or the
Speaker 3: coverage was too good down the field. I think the
Speaker 3: takeaway is that most of the time these days what
Speaker 3: I'd consider an off day for Tua, And even that
Speaker 3: seems harsh because I don't think it was a bad day,
Speaker 3: but they're just really uneventful, which you know, it's not
Speaker 3: some turnover fest or a session where he's missing throws
Speaker 3: and spiking the ball on the ground. The ball rarely
Speaker 3: touches the ground when he's out there, So I think
Speaker 3: I feel pretty good about that. I mentioned Waddle and
Speaker 3: you know, and how good he is. Have I done
Speaker 3: that yet. Let's go ahead and talk to Jill and
Speaker 3: Wattlehill real quick on the offense because I want to
Speaker 3: finish up here with the receivers about his familiarity in
Speaker 3: the offense in year two and how he feels that
Speaker 3: might improve his game in his third year.
Speaker 2: But second year in the yeah, you.
Speaker 4: Just get more familiar, you kind of get a feel
Speaker 4: of coach uh McDaniels, what are you gonna call more
Speaker 4: detailed on the little things that they really home in on.
Speaker 4: So it's just getting a year under your belt to
Speaker 4: really lock in on the little stuff. In this offense,
Speaker 4: it's all about, you know, little fine details, So just
Speaker 4: locking in on that is key. So I think we
Speaker 4: all doing a great job of just keep continue to learn.
Speaker 3: And the best part is that he's catching everything, even
Speaker 3: if he's not necessarily naked, you know, wide open. He's
Speaker 3: plucking the football through traffic. And I just cannot wait
Speaker 3: to see what the season has in store for Hims.
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be even better than he was
Speaker 3: last year, and he was really really good last year,
Speaker 3: oh real quick, I thought to His best throw was
Speaker 3: an anticipation shot the Tyreek hill on a deep comeback
Speaker 3: where the ball was out way before he broke off
Speaker 3: the route twenty or so yards down the field and
Speaker 3: it just greets Tyreek right out of the route. After
Speaker 3: he runs that great route to kind of turn Xavi
Speaker 3: and Howard around and create some space. I mentioned the
Speaker 3: big play to Braxon Burrios. That was a good play
Speaker 3: from Skyler Thompson among what I thought was a tough
Speaker 3: day for the rest of the quarterbacks. Thought they really
Speaker 3: struggled to get the ball out on time, some off
Speaker 3: target shots and just on a crisp day in general.
Speaker 3: Also pretty obvious that it wasn't a good day from
Speaker 3: the offensive line based upon how the pressure is tallied
Speaker 3: up there. Towards the end. The edge I talked about
Speaker 3: with Bradley Chubb was a good chuck against Austin Jackson.
Speaker 3: I thought Kendall Lamb was in there for a lot
Speaker 3: of those plays I talked about. For the pressures, Liam
Speaker 3: Iichen had some inside pressures from the passing game. Keon
Speaker 3: Smith and Cedric A. Boy He, Ryan Hayes, and Dan
Speaker 3: Feeney all had reps I counted as pressures from the defense.
Speaker 2: So we'll see it bounce back tomorrow.
Speaker 3: But not the best day today for the offensive line.
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and finish up the rest of the
Speaker 3: offense on the other side of the podcast here and
Speaker 3: do some supplementary media. That's next Track Time podcast, your
Speaker 3: host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. So
Speaker 3: alec Ingold was rocking the Orange Jersey today and he
Speaker 3: plays a pretty good mix across the speaker, so I
Speaker 3: always appreciate that. I love to see it and even
Speaker 3: had a laugh with Alec after practice talking about the
Speaker 3: orange penny that we joked about on our Walk and
Speaker 3: Talk episode, the JV penny as he called it, which
Speaker 3: is essentially because it doesn't fit the guys, like they're
Speaker 3: just these big baggy orange pennies they put on the guys,
Speaker 3: and it reminds him of like playing JV football back
Speaker 3: in his hometown, you know, rocking the special team's capture
Speaker 3: the pennies that you have to put on during those
Speaker 3: practices for a scout team. And given the varsity of
Speaker 3: the good looks, I thought he and the tight ends
Speaker 3: looked really good today. Eric Sabert caught a bunch of
Speaker 3: short stuff. Elijah Higgins was very involved and said on
Speaker 3: seven I want to see him, you know, put the
Speaker 3: football away a couple more times than he did today,
Speaker 3: but very involved, and I enjoyed watching him work his
Speaker 3: butt off on some of the blocking work and individual
Speaker 3: drills among the running backs. Like I think Savon Ahmed
Speaker 3: got faster, and maybe I've been a big Savon Achmed
Speaker 3: fans as he got here, but I just think he's
Speaker 3: a damn good football player. Or maybe he's just seeing
Speaker 3: it faster this year. I don't know, whatever the case was.
Speaker 3: There was a run where he picked his way through
Speaker 3: some congestion and then came out the other side just
Speaker 3: flying it like top speed.
Speaker 2: Took off, he said, explosive.
Speaker 3: On both days, I thought Jeff Wilson ran his butt
Speaker 3: off today.
Speaker 2: The backs as a whole just look fast.
Speaker 3: I think that's a big part of the continuity and
Speaker 3: the potential growth of the offense that we don't talk
Speaker 3: about a lot there in terms of the familiar faces,
Speaker 3: not just in the running back room, but across the
Speaker 3: offensive line. That has to make sense, right, That has
Speaker 3: to track that they would be faster because they can
Speaker 3: play more familiar this season than they did a year ago.
Speaker 3: On one run that Jeff Wilson was sprung to the
Speaker 3: second level, a couple of good seals from Connor and
Speaker 3: Liam and then a really good down block from Rob
Speaker 3: Hunt inside.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's my note. Guys.
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and do some additional media here. Let's
Speaker 3: go talk to Javon Hall and first, who talked about
Speaker 3: the new scheme, getting it down and how you have
Speaker 3: to work to get this defense down. Really good insight
Speaker 3: here from Javon Hall and talking about defense coaching scheme
Speaker 3: and ultimately how it's upon the players to really mix
Speaker 3: to maximize what positions as the coaches put Well, I mean.
Speaker 5: I feel like you always, you know, have more to
Speaker 5: learn about the game. You know, there are two thousand
Speaker 5: things that happened in football, but only two hundred of
Speaker 5: coach can tell you. So you know, through experience and
Speaker 5: through practice and whatnot, that's kind of how you gather
Speaker 5: that information. So there's always going to be stuff that changes,
Speaker 5: always going to be things that you know, arise that
Speaker 5: you have to talk about counsel with the coaches and
Speaker 5: other players. So yeah, you know, it just takes time.
Speaker 3: But definitely I mentioned the long ball to Brax and Barrios.
Speaker 3: He broke it down for us. Here's what he said,
Speaker 3: go ball, Skylar put it in a perfect place, touchdown.
Speaker 2: I thought it was really cool.
Speaker 3: He also talked about playing for Wes Welker and then
Speaker 3: also the impressions of quarterback to a tongue of Ba Lois.
Speaker 3: So far, let's go ahead and play those back to
Speaker 3: back Wes Welker and then too.
Speaker 2: No, I mean a lot.
Speaker 6: Obviously, he did it for for a long long time,
Speaker 6: and you know, I don't think the I mean even
Speaker 6: if you look at if you really like study him,
Speaker 6: and the way he runs routes was was different, and
Speaker 6: I think he kind of like coined that, and then
Speaker 6: you have kind of a lineage after that that you know,
Speaker 6: took from that. And so you know, I've been watching
Speaker 6: him for I mean since I really can remember football,
Speaker 6: and again, there's there's some things that he does that
Speaker 6: you just can't replicate because it was exactly you know,
Speaker 6: who he is, and you know nobody can be that
Speaker 6: and kind of the same thing on the opposite side
Speaker 6: of the spectrum from you know, like Tyreek, there's some
Speaker 6: things he does that you just can't replicate because you
Speaker 6: don't exactly.
Speaker 2: Have what he has.
Speaker 6: But I think it's the overall knowledge and the nuances
Speaker 6: and the intricate details of football and you know what
Speaker 6: we're trying to accomplish in a play, and you know,
Speaker 6: hearing them talk about those things and picking up on that,
Speaker 6: I think that really has been It's been really cool
Speaker 6: from my standpoint, because you pick up on those things
Speaker 6: and you know, you might not get the ball that play,
Speaker 6: but you might have done exactly what you're supposed to
Speaker 6: do to open up somebody else. And so you know,
Speaker 6: I'm obviously trying to be a sponge with with the
Speaker 6: offense and you know, obviously with coach Welker as well.
Speaker 2: But it's been really cool and the two wa talk.
Speaker 6: Very impressed just you know, as a as a human
Speaker 6: from a character standpoint, and obviously as a leader as
Speaker 6: a teammate, very personable, knows knows how to get the
Speaker 6: tension of a huddle, very confident as he should be,
Speaker 6: and you know he's been he's been extremely accurate, and
Speaker 6: you know, I really I can't say enough good things
Speaker 6: about him. And I'm you know, I'm happy and I'm
Speaker 6: excited to play with him.
Speaker 3: And there you go. There's the podcast again. We'll look
