<v Speaker 1>busy Wednesday, September edition of the Drivetime Podcast. Let's go

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>ahead and kick this thing off with the latest injury

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>report as we produced this podcast. We're gonna have an

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>update on this game with the Wednesday final report later

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>up on social media on Miami Dolphins dot Com. But

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>as for Tuesday, Dolphins listed ten players on their injury report.

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>One player did not practice. That was Byron Jones, the cornerback.

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>We had four limited participants in that practice with safety

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 1>Clayton federalum quarnerback Xavien Howard, defensive end Shack Lawson, and

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver Davante Parker. We also had five players who

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>were full participants in running back Matt Breed up, receiver

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Jachem Grant, defensive end Emmanuel Ogba, as well as two linebackers,

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Landon Roberts and Kyle van Noyle. On the Jacksonville side

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.320
<v Speaker 1>of things, receiver DJ Shark and Tyler Davis the tight

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>end we're both limited, so too was kicker Josh Lambo.

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Center Brandon Linder did not practice and neither did safety

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Watson. And it is a little bit different this

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>week with a different schedule for the Thursday night football game.

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>So usually we get John Knjemmis three keys to the

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>game on the Friday podcast. We're gonna go ahead and

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>do that today right now. As a matter of fact,

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>really enjoyed watching the Buffalo game alongside John and kind

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of sharing our notes back and forth. Really cool to

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>get that inside look there from a guy that knows

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the game so well, and he has his three keys

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>out for the Dolphins at Jacksonville. His number one key

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>is to win on third down because the Dolphins defense

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>has not played with the aggression most anticipated heading into

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 1>the season. John says they haven't made plays behind the

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>line of scrimmage or folst forced the opponents into making mistakes,

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>especially on those third down chances. He says New England

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and Buffalo both were able to stick to their game plan,

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>running and passing on their terms. It will be up

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>to the Dolphins to force the Jaguars out of their

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>game plan and the Dolphins to really force the hand

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and show what they want to do and dictate the

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>pace of the game that way. And we heard Josh

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Bowyer talk about that on Monday, the reference to we

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>have to get off the field on third downs because

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the more plays you're on the field, that's gonna just

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>create more opportunities for the offense, more issues and test

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>your conditioning even more so. Getting off the field on

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>those third downs obviously key, and dictating the pace of

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the game on your schedule. Number two for John here

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.519
<v Speaker 1>is to force force Minshoe mistakes. That's hard to say. Jacksonville. Second,

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>your quarterback has a lot of fun to watch. You

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>guys know how I feel about him, go Coog's. He

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the Jaguars

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>offense and huddle, his scramble ability, the ability to go

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>off script and make plays. But you force Menshoe outside

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>the pocket, you force him into some possible errand throws.

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>That's how you can get him. We're gonna talk more

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>about some of his statistics later on in the preview

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>portion of this podcast, and number three for John here

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>on the keys to Jacksonville running a past first offense,

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>he says, sometimes you need to mix up the offensive

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 1>game plan a bit to achieve the results you're looking for.

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>In Miami's run game through two games has not complimented

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the passing attack, rushing for a total of one six yards.

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>He talks about Miles Gaskins five point four yards per

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>attempt and second on the team with ten receptions. The

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>offense has had more success earlier this season. He says,

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>when it starts off aggressively throwing the football, and we

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>saw that in the Buffalo game. Right Ryan Fitzpatrick talked

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>about that, Chan Gailey talked about that how sometimes the

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>defense can dictate what you do in the running game.

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>If they're gonna put seven eight guys in the box

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>up against your six guys to block them, that becomes

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.119
<v Speaker 1>a challenge, right you have two couple of free guys

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>coming into the running back that way. And Gaily mentioned

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and Fitzpatrick mentioned some of the play action passing games,

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.359
<v Speaker 1>throwing in behind the linebackers, using the middle of the field,

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>the inbreaking routes, and we're gonna cover more of that

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.479
<v Speaker 1>on the preview here. But once again, John's three Keys

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>to Jacksonville went on third down, force, minshoe mistakes, and

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>pass first offense. And with that, let's go ahead and

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>turn the script here and get to my preview up

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>on Miami Dolphins dot com. This thing is lengthy, it's

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.239
<v Speaker 1>in depth, it's in the weeds. Got an early start

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>this week because we had to get out in front

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of things with the preview piece with the Thursday game,

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.919
<v Speaker 1>so I had some extra time to kind of fine

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.799
<v Speaker 1>tune this thing, and I'm very proud and very happy

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>with the result up on Miami Dolphins dot com. Let's

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and review the preview here for doll Fins

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and Jaguars tomorrow night on NFL Network at eight twenty

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Eastern time, five twenty for you folks out in the

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>West at t I A A bank field, oh and

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>two Dolphins one and one Jaguars, seventy six degrees partly cloudy,

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>eight percent humidity in northern Florida. And this is the

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>battle of the two youngest teams in the NFL. It's

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 1>about a five hour drive up north up The Washington

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>resident in me had to look that up. About a

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.599
<v Speaker 1>five hour drive a little more than an hour flight,

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>so pretty close proximity here for the Dolphins on a

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>short week. And I always try to look at how

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>these two teams, or the Dolphins and their opponent, I

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.280
<v Speaker 1>should say, measure up both with the parallels and the differences.

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Last week we talked about Sean McDermott's Buffalo team kind

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>of having the same starting point as Miami from twenty

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>nineteen Buffalo beginning in twenty seventeen, and how they both

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of emphasized culture and toughness and smart players. Well,

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>this Jacksonville team has done a good job this last

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 1>offseason of acquiring draft Capital the way Miami did last

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>off season, and they play hard for their head coach

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Doug Moron gets the most out of those guys, and

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 1>both teams rallied late on Sunday in their games but

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>came up just short and divisional contest with either side

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 1>hoping to carry that momentum into a many bye week.

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 1>You get a victory, you enjoy the weekend, you enjoyed

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the next week, and get ready for a Week four.

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a good time to get a w here for

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>either of these teams, and this game will serve as

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the first prime time game for many a young players

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.159
<v Speaker 1>in this game, again two of the youngest teams, the

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>two youngest teams in the National Football League. But it's

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>not the first time Jacksonville's Gardner Minshew has seen primetime.

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>You might recall last year minshew Mania NFL version not

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>down and Pullman at Martin Stadium there with the Washington

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>State Cougars, but at the NFL level, was born on

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a Thursday night football game that also was in a

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Week three when he threw a pair of touchdown passes

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>in his first career win over the Tennessee Titans. The

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins looked to bounce back on a short week under

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the prime time lights. This matchup pits two young teams

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>who are still developing their chemistry, their camaraderie, trying to

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>find their identity in a very unique season play. Any

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>of intrigued to cover in this battle for Florida and

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.599
<v Speaker 1>the Jacksonville personnel does start there with quarterback Gardner Minshew.

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>He threw just one in completion and three touchdown passes

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>on opening Day in that season opening win over the

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Indianapolis Colts. He follows up that hat trick with another

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>one in the Week two lost Tennessee, so he has

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>six touchdown passes on the year. Had a couple of

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>picks in game number two, but they were both deflections

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>at the line of scrimmage late in the game there,

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not really sure how much you put stock

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>into those. But coming out of that air raid in college,

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>out of that mic Leach system, he really can process

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the defense quickly you have to in that system, and

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>he also has that flair for the dramatic. He has

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>twelve runs of ten or more yards in his young career.

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Coach Flora has talked a little bit on Tuesday about

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>his ability to get out of the pocket and scramble

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and make plays that way. Running Back James Robinson another

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>player the coach referenced in his press conference. He has

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>nearly the double the snaps of Jacksonville's number two running

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>back and Chris Thompson, who, of course, for units this year.

0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>With offensive coordinator Jay Gruden coming over from wash Ington,

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Robinson is the first undrafted rookie running back to start

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>opening day in the NFL. He's rushed for one hundred

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and sixty four yards and scored a pair of touchdowns,

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>one receiving one on the ground early on here in

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>his rookie season. And he runs behind an offensive line

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>that has plenty of continuity in Juwan Taylor and Brandon

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Linder and A j Can and Andrew Norwell, a bunch

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of big guys up front that have been there for

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a long time together. And they've allowed just thirdteen pressures

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>through two games so far. On the quarterback, that's, of course,

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>according to Pro Football Focus, Minshew himself is credited with

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>five of those pressures and three of those sacks. He

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.199
<v Speaker 1>will hang onto the ball a little bit. That's kind

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>of how you create that magic, right the Ben Roethlisberger approach,

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 1>hang onto the ball, try to extend plays that way.

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>It can bite you a little bit times, but with

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>these guys with Minshew, it typically winds up better for

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback because he's so adept at making plays. But

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 1>four of the Jacksonville lineman grade above their positional average

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>on Pro Football Focus, So a good offensive line out wide.

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 1>At the receiver spot, DJ Chark produced his first one

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 1>thousand yards see season inten but through two games so

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>far this year, he has just twenty five receiving yards.

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>But he's a sudden, shifty receiver with plenty of speed

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.719
<v Speaker 1>to burn. Dolphins will have to take care of him

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 1>to find a way to win in this game. On Thursday,

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Lavisca Channault Jr. Out of Colorado the rookie. Love this

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 1>guy coming out. He's going to test the Dolphin's ability

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 1>to tackle because he has a thick lower half and

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the ability to really just bounce off defenders in that

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 1>second level and create big plays after the catch. He's

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna line up all over the formation too. We'll talk

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.199
<v Speaker 1>more about that here in just one moment. Defensively, the

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>show was ran by Miles Jack and Joe Schobert. More

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>on those guys here and Josh Allen defense event in

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>just one moment. In the secondary, Jacksonville is very young,

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>very green, but very aggressive and playing well so far

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>as rookie cornerback. First round draft picks C. J. Henderson

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>starts alongside Trey Herndon, who is in his second year

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>as a starter there in Jacksonville. The first round pick Henderson,

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>he's limiting quarterbacks to a fifty three point eight percent

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 1>completion rate so far in the early going, while Herndon

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.960
<v Speaker 1>is at an even fifty percent completion on throws. Target

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 1>for his man, Josh Jones, the safety looks to have

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>found a home in his third NFL season seven or

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>third NFL city, I should say so far Green Bay, Dallas,

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and now the Jaguars. Seven of his nineteen tackles this

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>season qualify as run stops. Those are tackles within two

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>yards of the line of scrimmage. Some of the matchup

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>highlights look at here the Dolphins pass rush first. The

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars offensive line. We heard from coach Flores on Tuesday

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>talking about the importance of getting more pressure on the

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and trying to find ways to create pressure on

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.439
<v Speaker 1>opposing offensive lines and Gardner Minshew. This guy plays high

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.239
<v Speaker 1>efficiency football with that dash of magic, the off script playmaking.

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 1>You can't really plan for that because it just kind

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 1>of his Jim sand Lot football kind of happens on

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>its own. But making the pocket uncomfortable for him, that's

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>a winning recipe against the youngster, or really for any quarterback.

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.960
<v Speaker 1>When under duarrest. In twenty nineteen his rookie season, Minshoe

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 1>average five point three yards per pass attempt with a

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>forty one nine percent completion rate, and he also finished

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 1>his rookie season hide for the fourth most fumbles with

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>twelve starts as the Jacksonville quarterback last year, but when

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>he was kept clean, Minshew completed sixty eight point three

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>percent of his passes for seven points six yards per

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>pass that according to Pro Football Focus, and of Miami's

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>nineteen quarterback pressures this year, seven of those have come

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 1>from the interior rushers Christian Wilkins, Ray Kwon Davis, and

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Davon god Show. God Show and Davis have two a peace,

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Wilkins has three per PFF. Additionally, linebackers Jerale Baker and

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Kyle van Noy both have a pass brush pressure coming

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.839
<v Speaker 1>from the b gaps that's the space between the guard

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and the tackle on the offensive line. So really nine

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>pressures of the nineteam coming on that interior rush up

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the middle, and all but four of Jacksonville's pressures allowed

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of the ball have come from

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>their interior offensive line, from the quarterback or the running

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 1>back working inside there. In pass protection, forcing Minshew off

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the spot and plastering on the back end will be critical.

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Once the quarterback breaks the pocket, the play kind of

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>breaks down in the back end. You have to plaster

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>and man coverage. You can use that physical h once

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacks outside of the pocket disrupt the routes that way.

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>It'll be key for the Dolphins defensive backs to make

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that happen. And look for Christian Wilkins with his quickness

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and crafty rush arsenal inside to make an impact on

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.719
<v Speaker 1>this game. The next matchup I'm gonna highlight here is

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen, not the quarterback, the defensive end, the pass

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 1>rusher versus both Jesse Davis and Austin Jackson. No returning

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville defender. They lost Calais Campbell's well as Johnique and

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 1>got Way this offseason, so no returning Jacksonville defender has

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 1>more quarterback pressures in nineteen than Josh Allen, and after

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.440
<v Speaker 1>one pressure in the season opener, he had three in

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Week two. Beginning to heat up a little bit here

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 1>as the season goes along. The number seven overall pick

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in twenty nineteen really vaulted that draft stock into top

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>ten territory. With a seventeen sacks senior season at Kentucky,

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>he combines a rare, rare blend of length and athletic ability,

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 1>something the Dolphins discovered for themselves last preseason. You might

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>recall when he had a pair of sacks in that

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 1>exhibition game, and he had a ten and a half

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>sacks season as a rookie. When the games began to count,

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 1>he's looking for his first sack of the season. He

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>goes two hundred and sixty two pounds thirty three and

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.199
<v Speaker 1>a half inch arms. He ran a four six three

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>forty yard dash with impressive ten and twenty yard splits

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>as well. He splits his pass rush operation evenly between

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the right and left side. According to Pro Football Focus,

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that's at off the right side, off the left side

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 1>as far as where he aligns and so when he

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>does line up off the offense is left, he'll get

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>athletic rookie Austin Jackson, who has not allowed a quarterback

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>hit through two games so far. And off the right side,

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.319
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna draw a battle tested veteran Jesse Davis who's

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>allowed just five pressures on the season. And then the

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 1>third matchup, and perhaps my favorite the ones that I

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>think this game might come down to is Ryan Fitzpatrick

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.439
<v Speaker 1>versus both Miles Jack and Joe Schobert, the two linebackers

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.559
<v Speaker 1>of the Jaguars we referenced earlier on in this podcast

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and on the preview piece up on Miami Dolphins dot Com.

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.079
<v Speaker 1>All but three of Jacksonville's sixteen quarterback pressures have come

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 1>from their down linemen. They don't rush the quarterback all

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 1>that often with linebackers Miles Jack and Joe Sholbert primarily

0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>coverage guys. They play in that Todd Wash defense, and

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Todd Wash came from that Seattle tree with Gus Braley

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and Pete Carroll where they love to get pressure on

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback with their down four play that cover three

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>on the back end and really forced the quarterback to

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>beat you into tight windows with a good pass rush

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>from the front four. The two linebackers Showburt and Jack

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>have played a combined two hundred and seventy two snaps

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 1>this year, and they've rushed the pass where the combined

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>thirteen times. That means Brian Fitzpatrick is going to have

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>to influence these instinctive range linebackers to pick apart his

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>preferred area of the field, the middle of the field.

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Between the numbers testing the middle. Through two games per PFF,

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Fitzpatrick is thirty four or forty two with three hundred

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and sixty three passing yards and two touchdowns throwing the

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>football over the middle. He also has the two interceptions,

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 1>but high completion rate, high yards per attempt attacking down

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the seam. Linebacker Miles Jack led Jacksonville's defense, or leads

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 1>it rather in a plethora of categories. He has the

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>most tackles with sixteen run stops. At eighteen sacks, he's

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>got one that's tied with Caleb and Chason despite the

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>limited pass rush exposure he has, and he has just

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>one miss tackle on the season. Shobert last year in

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland led all NFL linebackers with four interceptions. He also

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>broke up nine passes and forced two fumbles, so really

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>really good ball production there. From the new free agent

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>acquisition of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Fitzpatrick repeatedly went to work

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>on the inbreaking routes on a variety of targets on Sunday,

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 1>throwing to Isaiah four, to Mike Gaski, Davante Parker, chesting

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the middle part of the football field, and a lot

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>of that was set up through the play action game.

0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Fitzpatrick has the highest completion percentage differential between play action

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>passes and traditional setups. Throwing from play action, he completes

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight point two percent more of his passes than

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 1>on traditional pass setups. His ability to influence these two

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 1>linebackers of the Jacksonville defense and take away the middle

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 1>of the football field. Whoever wins that part of the

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>field could have a big impact on this game. The

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville system offensively, they've ran a hundred and twenty two

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>play as through their first two games. That's the sixth

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>fewest in the NFL, and the primary grouping they call

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 1>on is eleven personnel, like most teams in the National

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Football League, one running back, one tight end, three receivers

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and new offensive coordinator Jay Gruden dials up that bread

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 1>and butter six of the time. The Jags don't really

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>have a secondary package because all the rest of them

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>are kind of sparsed out, so no significant increase from

0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>one package to the next. Really, they do use twenty

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 1>one personnel and twelve personnel the next most. Those have

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 1>been ran eleven percent of the time and seven percent

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>of the time so far for the Jacksonville offense, and

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>they will utilize the versatility they have on offense to

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 1>get themselves into different personnel groupings, most notably through wide

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>receiver Leavisco Chanel Jr. Although calling him a receiver is disingenuous.

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 1>The rookie who did this at Colorado took wildcats snaps,

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>took jet sweep snaps, took zone red snaps at the

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>running back possession, played in line planed out why he

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>has been out wide this year forty five snaps. He's

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>played in the slot fifteen times. He's been in the

0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 1>backfield ten times. He's been in line as basically a

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.680
<v Speaker 1>quasi tight end slash h back role three times. He

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 1>even played quarterback for one direct snap this year. So

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.199
<v Speaker 1>he will be all over the football field for this

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville offense, and this approach allows Jacksonville to get into

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.439
<v Speaker 1>those empty looks that Gardner Minshew loved in college. You

0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>go five wide, whether you've got a tight end at

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.920
<v Speaker 1>running back on the field, five receivers on the field,

0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 1>get into the empty set, use that quick trigger and

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>decisive approach to get the football out before the pass

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 1>rush can arrive. The ball comes out in less than

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 1>two and a half seconds on fifty percent of Minshew's

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 1>drop backs, and he's completing of those passes per Pro

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Football Focus. Jacksonville's pair of linebackers that haven't left the

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>field we talked about them already, Jack and Shobert. They

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.919
<v Speaker 1>are joined by Trey Herndon and C. J. Henderson, as

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.159
<v Speaker 1>well as safety Josh Jones as the five defenders on

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 1>that side of the football with better than workloads through

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.400
<v Speaker 1>two weeks, and Jack and Schobert rarely come after the quarterback.

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.240
<v Speaker 1>The Jaguars dial up blitz just nine point six percent

0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 1>of the time. That's the seventh lowest rate in the

0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:00.080
<v Speaker 1>National Football League. Some final news, some final thoughts and

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>game notes here. Jacksonville leads the all time series five

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.240
<v Speaker 1>to four. Courtesy of the Loan playoff game between these

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>two teams. Of course, we know the result of that game.

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 1>In the Dolphins have not beaten Jacksonville since team, with

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars boasting a two game win streak over their

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 1>in state rivals, and both defenses are gonna have their

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.400
<v Speaker 1>conditioning put to the test and their three point defeats

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, both Miami and Jacksonville to Buffalo and Indianapolis

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 1>had nine players on defense exceed forty snaps. So a

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>quick turnaround here, we'll see who has the conditioning to

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 1>stay for sixty minutes. Ryan Fitzpatrick has enjoyed success in

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.120
<v Speaker 1>his career against Jacksonville. He's unbeaten in his last three

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 1>starts against the Jaguars, and he's looking for his fourth

0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 1>out of five games on Thursday Night Football with a

0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 1>passer rating better than one oh five in his career.

0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Running Back Miles Gascon had a career high eighty two

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 1>yards from scrimmage last week, and he's looking for his

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 1>fifth consecutive game with fifty yards from scrimmage. And Mike

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Kaski's career day for eight catches, one and thirty receiving

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 1>yards gives him one hundred and sixty yards on the

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 1>season that leads all tight ends. So there's your preview,

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>intriguing matchup on primetime on Thursday Night Football. As always,

0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.080
<v Speaker 1>we're going to recap this game both on Miami Dolphins

0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 1>dot Com as well as on the Drive Time podcast

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.719
<v Speaker 1>post game, and I'll be tweeting throughout the game of

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>course as well, getting you through Dolphins Jaguars prime time

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.239
<v Speaker 1>in week number three. Let's go ahead and here from

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>our last player media availability, starting with Dolphins right tackle

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins offensive lineman Jesse Davis, who first was asked about

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.399
<v Speaker 1>the quick turnaround going from Sunday to Thursday. Um, just recovery.

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:35.959
<v Speaker 1>You know how quick you can get out of one

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>week and into the next with you know, dropping what

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 1>you're doing with watching film and the other game and

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 1>then just move right into the next one. So just

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.920
<v Speaker 1>having you know, a short memory loss there and moving in. Hey, Jesse,

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.399
<v Speaker 1>wanted to ask you guys about going up against defensive

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.400
<v Speaker 1>end Josh Allen. You saw him a couple of times

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:55.679
<v Speaker 1>I think in the preseason his first year in Just

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.160
<v Speaker 1>want to see what you get from him on tape. Yeah,

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 1>he's a good player, know, he's quick. Um, good loteral movement. Um,

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:06.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, it would be a good, good matchup for

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 1>us with him and how fast he is. But you

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:10.920
<v Speaker 1>know they have a good they have a good line anyways.

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>You know. So it's like every week and prepare the

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 1>same way. Um, you know, our one goal will get

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to win, protect fits and get the run game going.

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 1>And speaking of getting that run game going, up next,

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Davis was asked about what he ideally envisions the

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:28.640
<v Speaker 1>identity of this offensive line looking like here in Miami. Yeah,

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the identity of us. You know, we want

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>to be respective, we want to be feared when we

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.119
<v Speaker 1>go into a game. We want to be able to

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 1>do our job and do it well. And moving forward,

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, we're starting to build that chemistry.

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 1>We're starting to gell gell well nicely together. And it's

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 1>just you know, every week and just keep putting it

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 1>on tape and keep doing what we've been doing. We're

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna hear from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in just one moment,

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 1>but first let's go ahead and talk to one of

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 1>his receivers. And as I Afford who first here discusses

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the freedom receivers have, Chan Gillies offense. We've heard Jechim Grant,

0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Chan himself talk about the free freedom

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 1>this system creates for the receivers. Here's Isaiah Ford on

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 1>just that topic. So I think it's a little bit

0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.920
<v Speaker 1>of both. Um, there's certain concepts that we have where

0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>if it's uh defensive plan zoned and it's more about

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.399
<v Speaker 1>being in the right spots, um, you know, running the

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:25.719
<v Speaker 1>route route, sometimes he may have to open it up

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:29.880
<v Speaker 1>for another receiver and then when this man coverage, that's

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.640
<v Speaker 1>when he really allows us to have that freedom and

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 1>being at the spot that he's expecting us to be it.

0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 1>But how we get to that destination, Um, it's really

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.280
<v Speaker 1>on us, you know, being creative and getting to that spot.

0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 1>And we've heard a few times now about the relationship

0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:48.119
<v Speaker 1>between Isaiah Ford and Ryan Fitzpatrick and the ability for

0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:50.160
<v Speaker 1>them to get on the same page. On offense, here

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:52.399
<v Speaker 1>is Ford talking about his quarterback and what he means

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 1>to this offense. I just think his leadership and his

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>commanding the huddle kind of gives everyone a sense of peace,

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, especially us having a lot of younger guys.

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, he he's always calm, you know, comforting, and

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 1>even if he makes the joke or something, whatever the

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 1>case may be, but he's a do's a really good

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:13.160
<v Speaker 1>job at getting everyone comfortable and ready to go out

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and execute. You might recall the feature we did back

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:18.680
<v Speaker 1>in training camp on Isaiah Ford. I had a chance

0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 1>to ask him about his post reception celebration spinning the

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.480
<v Speaker 1>football on the turf on Sunday. He got up into

0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.239
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a flex. Here's where that came from, now,

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and that's something that I've kind of joked around with

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the guys in the receiver room with me adding that

0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:35.359
<v Speaker 1>way this offseason and putting on some of that muscles,

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:37.400
<v Speaker 1>so being able to kind of take some of those

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:39.159
<v Speaker 1>hits and and that kind of bounced back us a

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit. So that's something something fun that out I've

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>been messing with the guys. Let's stay on the offensive

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 1>side of the football. And here next from Dolphins running

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 1>back Matt Brita, who first was asked about his role

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:51.880
<v Speaker 1>in the offense and the way he accepts and approaches

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 1>that role here in Miami. It's it's understood as day

0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 1>one that you know, um, whatever they asked me to do,

0:22:57.080 --> 0:22:59.199
<v Speaker 1>I told us today what I'm gonna do. Um. Not

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the type of guys want to complain about how many

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.280
<v Speaker 1>carriers I get, how many yards I get if I

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:05.159
<v Speaker 1>make it to the Pro Bowl. Like at the end

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of the day, Uh, we want to win. We won't

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:10.280
<v Speaker 1>win championships. That's what we're paid to do. Uh. You know,

0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 1>if I was paid to, you know, worry about how

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 1>many number of yards I would get, then that would

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 1>be a different story. But I'm paid to, you know,

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 1>win championships, and that's our end goal. So you know,

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>we just want to win. And on the topic of winning,

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 1>here is Matt discussing the Dolphins getting close against the

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills, taking that fourth quarter lead and having opportunities

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 1>late in that game to seize victory. Here's Brita on

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:33.320
<v Speaker 1>taking advantage of those opportunities. Yeah. Like I said, it's

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:36.200
<v Speaker 1>everyone on the team, you know, players, um, even even

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the coaches. You know, everyone feels like we could have

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>done a better job um during the game. And we're

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:42.199
<v Speaker 1>all gonna keep working to make sure that we can

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:44.919
<v Speaker 1>finish the games because you know, we're right there. And

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 1>let's go ahead and finish up here with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick,

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>who first was asked to talk about Jacksonville quarterback Gardner Minshield.

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen him play a toime but a few

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 1>times I have, and um, you know, I like watching them.

0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I enjoys play and style. Looks like he's out there,

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:05.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, having fun, and he's been I mean, it's

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:08.280
<v Speaker 1>not easy to play quarterback in this league. It's not

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:12.000
<v Speaker 1>easy to play as a young quarterback. And he's already

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of success. He's had a great start

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to the season, so, um, you know, he's He's a guy.

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:20.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I've played against him, so I'm excited

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:22.800
<v Speaker 1>to watch him play and see how he does. We're

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna come back to Minshew and the debate between mustaches

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and beards here in just one second. But first, here

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.479
<v Speaker 1>is Fitzpatrick on what Chan Gailey's offense in an ideal

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 1>world operating at full efficiency at full power, looks like

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and what it does to create matchup opportunities for the offense.

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's supposed to be an offense that changes

0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:46.680
<v Speaker 1>every week, but an offense that Taylor's our strengths. So

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 1>for example, with the when I was in New York

0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:54.159
<v Speaker 1>with Chan, I don't I mean, you can look at

0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 1>the stats of the tight ends and how many catches

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.280
<v Speaker 1>they had, but I don't think any of them had

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:02.960
<v Speaker 1>a hundred yard even in a season. So UM, you know,

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.919
<v Speaker 1>we've got different skill sets and different guys here that

0:25:07.040 --> 0:25:10.400
<v Speaker 1>we want to try to get involved. Uh, whether it's

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, the big guys on the outside, whether it's

0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:16.080
<v Speaker 1>our quick guys on the inside. Isaiah Ford had a

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:19.680
<v Speaker 1>great game last week. Um, continuing to get the running

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 1>backs more involved. I just think as we're going here,

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 1>he's going to continue to figure out what's going to

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 1>make us a good offense, a dynamic offense, and we'll

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:32.080
<v Speaker 1>keep feeding those parts. So UM, I think part of

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:36.679
<v Speaker 1>the charm and his offense is how multiple it is,

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.359
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the ability for it to look different

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 1>from week to week. And while game does recognize game

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:45.399
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to play in the quarterback position, Fitzpatrick says,

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe the beer game a little stronger than Minshoo's mustache.

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Just the continued hard work and continued passion for the game.

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:54.919
<v Speaker 1>Those are two things that you know, if you have

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:56.879
<v Speaker 1>a little bit a little bit of success, you just

0:25:56.920 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 1>can't lose sight of Um. And then the mustache versus

0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the beard, I mean I think the beard is a

0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 1>cooler look, and I think guys that grow mustaches a

0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:13.959
<v Speaker 1>lot of times have hatchy sides for their beards, so

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 1>they just stick with the mustache. But my wife appreciates

0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:20.639
<v Speaker 1>the mustache trimmed up a little bit more, but she

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:22.800
<v Speaker 1>does hate the beard too, so I guess that's a

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:25.359
<v Speaker 1>lose lose for me. I have a question for you

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:27.280
<v Speaker 1>that I'm sure something you've seen on film, but I

0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 1>read some stats earlier to my research on this game,

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:32.480
<v Speaker 1>and Jacksonville sends an extra Russia at the seventh lowest

0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:34.879
<v Speaker 1>rate in the NFL. And they have two linebackers and

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Showburt and Jack who have played a combined two seventy

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:41.120
<v Speaker 1>snaps and only thirteen combined pass rush nats between the two.

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:43.159
<v Speaker 1>So my question is, what's the difference between playing a

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:46.040
<v Speaker 1>team that dials up pressure relentlessly versus a team that

0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 1>plays more coverage based. Well, you know, for me as

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a as a quarterback, you look at some of that

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:56.679
<v Speaker 1>stuff and you look at tendencies, but if they do blitz,

0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:58.360
<v Speaker 1>then we need to have an answer for it. So

0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can't sit year and rely on those things.

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:06.040
<v Speaker 1>We've got to have answers for everything, um, But part

0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:08.520
<v Speaker 1>of it is when you go into a game, are

0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 1>these guys generating pressures and hurries? And how do they

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 1>do it? Do they rush forward? They bring exotics? Um,

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 1>And there are a lot of different ways to do it.

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:19.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was so little film. We can look

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:22.320
<v Speaker 1>at years past and things that have happened, but you

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of have to be ready for everything. So we

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:28.120
<v Speaker 1>just continue to look at matchups. We continue to look

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:31.840
<v Speaker 1>at what they want to do with those guys, just

0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:34.160
<v Speaker 1>like us trying to put our guys in good positions

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to make plays. Uh. But definitely, you know it's going

0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 1>to be a matchup game like it always is, and

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:45.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll try to um as best we can get our

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 1>guys on the guys that we want to get them

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 1>on and try to create those good matchups. Let's go

0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:52.920
<v Speaker 1>ahead and finish up this Wednesday podcast with my exclusive

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 1>interview with Dolphins running back Miles Gaskin, who finally answered

0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the question for me, why don't you break my heart?

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Four years in a row in the Apple Cup? And

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm joined now by Dolphins second year running back, the

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:06.679
<v Speaker 1>leading rusher on the team right now, Miles Gaskin Miles.

0:28:06.680 --> 0:28:09.560
<v Speaker 1>How you doing, man, I'm doing well hours so not

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:11.679
<v Speaker 1>too bad, man. I got some questions for you here.

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to really kind of focus on our geographical

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I suppose upbringing you and I we both come from

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.919
<v Speaker 1>the Pacific Northwest. You were born in Lynnwood, and I

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to ask you. That's an area up there

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:29.160
<v Speaker 1>that's known for several like institutions like Starbucks, Dick's Burgers,

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Costco started out there. It's nationwide now, but it began there.

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's the grunge era. I don't know if you're

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:37.399
<v Speaker 1>a Nirvana or a Pearl Jam guy, but what's the

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 1>one Pacific Northwest institution that you missed the most. I'll

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:44.840
<v Speaker 1>probably say Dicks Burgers. I'll probably say that for sure.

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm missing home sometimes, but that's probably one thing I

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 1>do and I do go home, goes by the excuse me,

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 1>a very good shape, hang out outside and then uh

0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and get that fast food going. It's probably not the

0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 1>best food for you, but I definitely miss it as

0:28:57.840 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 1>well myself. Man, It's it's good stuff. And on that topic, um,

0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.240
<v Speaker 1>are you a basketball guy? Miles? A little bit? I

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:06.239
<v Speaker 1>like I like watching it. I'm not too good, but

0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I like watching so maybe a little bit before your time,

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 1>but the Seattle SuperSonics broke my heart when they moved

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand eight. You were still pretty young at

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the time, but I'm just curious. Was that your team

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 1>growing up? Yeah? I was my team when h I

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 1>think it was Kevin Durant's rookie year. I think he

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>was there for his rookie years and then he left

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and then they got really good with okay see. So

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 1>like just like the missing him kind of like grew

0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:34.840
<v Speaker 1>on me. It's like gang Like they had James Harden,

0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:39.479
<v Speaker 1>they had Russell West rook and u k D. So

0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that kind of hurt. But I missed them hopefully come back,

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 1>hopefully working things out so they can come back. Did

0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you wind up becoming an okay See fan? Yeah? I did. Actually,

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I like, I like k D when he was there.

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I know he's gone now, but I was my squad

0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 1>group past couple of years. Man, That's that's blasphemy, Miles.

0:29:57.680 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I gotta say, man, we uh, I went the other way.

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:03.959
<v Speaker 1>I became an okay See hater. Really yeah, I mean

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 1>they took our team and it was it was so brutal.

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 1>They were there for so long and really before you know,

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the Seahawks were never a good team in the eighties

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and nineties, and the Mariners certainly weren't either, so it

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a Sonics town there for a long time. Yeah,

0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 1>before I understand well on that topic, are you a

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 1>baseball guy to Seattle Marriers? Because I love my Manners man.

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I like the Manners, but I know nothing about him

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and I go to the game. Uh, enjoyed the games.

0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed the atmosphere, but winner lose. I have a

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:36.240
<v Speaker 1>good time with the game. Yes, safe, go fields, gorgeous

0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 1>man to my for my money, the best part in

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:40.840
<v Speaker 1>all of baseball. Yeah, I love it there. Do you

0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:43.080
<v Speaker 1>have a favorite Manners player growing up? Was? Were you

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:45.400
<v Speaker 1>also a little bit too young for Kinkerfree Jr? Or

0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:49.040
<v Speaker 1>do you remember him too? I remember him? Uh person,

0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I like the most of the eat euro when he

0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 1>was there. Um, just just uh. I never really watched

0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the base all Like I said, I just kind of

0:30:57.720 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed the game part of it. He was like the

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 1>person I watched as a Mariner that like, I was

0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:05.720
<v Speaker 1>very impressed with them the way he played. He's always

0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of making like some wold play. So how's my god? Yeah,

0:31:09.520 --> 0:31:11.520
<v Speaker 1>hall of Famer? Or is he in the Hall of Famer?

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember anyway. He should be soon anyway. I

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:15.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's been retired for long enough. But he'll

0:31:15.520 --> 0:31:17.719
<v Speaker 1>be there when he's when he's eligible, for sure. Um

0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's talk about a sport you are familiar with

0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and one that Miles you broke my heart several years

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:25.440
<v Speaker 1>in a row. Sir, I am a Washington State Cougar alumni,

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 1>so I'll let you just go ahead and laugh about

0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that real quick. Yeah, that was some good game. Again,

0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it was. I want to say it was

0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:36.320
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred yards and eight touchdowns you had in four

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:43.520
<v Speaker 1>years against us. That probably something like that. So let

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:45.360
<v Speaker 1>me just explain to you what Apple Cup looks like

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:49.400
<v Speaker 1>for Washington State Cougar fans. So we especially when you

0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:51.320
<v Speaker 1>were there, that was kind of the turn when things

0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 1>got better for us as Coogs fans. Was you know,

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Mike Leach came around, They started playing better football, winning

0:31:56.720 --> 0:31:58.720
<v Speaker 1>more games, And it seems like every year that you

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:01.240
<v Speaker 1>were there that was based sickly for the Pack twelve

0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 1>North and we would get all hyped up. My friends

0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:05.680
<v Speaker 1>would come over. It was you know, the day after Thanksgiving.

0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Everybody was off work. We were all excited about the game,

0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and then about a quarter in it was a bad mood.

0:32:11.640 --> 0:32:14.000
<v Speaker 1>So you know, it would we would eat a bunch

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.880
<v Speaker 1>of food, watch the game, and then afterwards there would

0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:19.280
<v Speaker 1>be a bunch of tweets from former Huskies And I

0:32:19.360 --> 0:32:21.320
<v Speaker 1>want to say that you were one of them maybe

0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:24.120
<v Speaker 1>last year, and I think it was you. Maybe not

0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 1>correct me if I'm wrong that how to tweet? It

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 1>was something like, you know, every time we play the

0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Apple Cup, they know what's up, we know what's up,

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and then it happens like that. Do you recall that.

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't, but I would be surprised that. Um yeah,

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 1>it just always worked out in our favorite I love

0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 1>that type of the game, just playing at the playing

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>at home. I mean either way, there's like a lot

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 1>of people that went to Washington State obviously, you know

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:51.560
<v Speaker 1>while I was there, just kind of just knowing the

0:32:51.600 --> 0:32:53.840
<v Speaker 1>whole crowd, like you know, I went to school with them.

0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:57.080
<v Speaker 1>It was always the atmosphere. Do you think was that

0:32:57.160 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the best game every year on the schedule for you guys,

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Like as far as getting up for it, having the

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 1>most fun. No, No, I mean, uh, we had some

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:11.080
<v Speaker 1>other we like. I like playing against Utah and that

0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 1>was my favorite team to play. Is that because they're

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 1>a pretty much more physical team. Yeah, I used to

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 1>talk about well, I remember watching some of those Apple Cups.

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 1>It seems like they would never get out of that

0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:25.920
<v Speaker 1>too high defense. But that's for another day. I'll go

0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:28.120
<v Speaker 1>ahead and leave that complaint for another day. I do

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about a coach that was I want

0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:32.320
<v Speaker 1>to say on the dub staff when you were there,

0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 1>who's now in Miami and Gerald Alexander that's correct, right?

0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Or he wasn't there while I was there. He left

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 1>when I was like a senior in high school. But

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know him and I committed. Uh was around

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the around this stadium, around the building a lot. So

0:33:51.680 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know him before he took off to go

0:33:54.840 --> 0:33:58.080
<v Speaker 1>to cow So and then now he's here. It's kind

0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:01.440
<v Speaker 1>of crazy how small the world is. Yeah, it really is, right,

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:03.800
<v Speaker 1>And uh, what can you say about g A, Like,

0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>what did you what's your first impression? What do you

0:34:05.480 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 1>think about it now that you're here playing with you know,

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:10.480
<v Speaker 1>under his staff. I'm great, dude. I always thought it was

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 1>was a great dude. When when I was hanging out

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:14.960
<v Speaker 1>when I was back in high school, I always kind

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:18.040
<v Speaker 1>of connected with him, always talked with him. Obviously couched

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:21.759
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the ball, but very encouraging, Uh,

0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:25.320
<v Speaker 1>very vocal guy, very motivating. So I mean, none but

0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:28.279
<v Speaker 1>great things about him, and uh glad to have him

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:31.360
<v Speaker 1>on staff. And on the topic of relationships with you, Miles,

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:34.839
<v Speaker 1>I read an article recently that talked about this relationship

0:34:34.920 --> 0:34:37.279
<v Speaker 1>that you developed with the sideline crew there at you

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:40.080
<v Speaker 1>dub at that stadium there, and they talked about, you know,

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:42.399
<v Speaker 1>you took time out of your day after one game

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to go over and take a picture with a six

0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:46.600
<v Speaker 1>man crew. They talked about how genuine of a person

0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you were. Can you tell us about that relationship and

0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:51.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe where that character trait, that genuine personality comes from.

0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I guess you just kind of seeing them

0:34:54.920 --> 0:34:57.040
<v Speaker 1>all the time, just kind of like in the heat

0:34:57.080 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of the moment he was battle. Was just kind of

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 1>seeing him talking them after the game and just kind

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:04.520
<v Speaker 1>of chopping it up before the game with all those guys. So,

0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I grew from freshman year to senior year

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 1>to actually like create like an actual friendship with those guys,

0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. I loved every second of it.

0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:18.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's not necessarily the relationship people I assume

0:35:19.040 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you create usually like talking to your teammates or coaches.

0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:26.040
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, those guys always just kind of were

0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:28.520
<v Speaker 1>always just chopping it up, laughing and joking after the game,

0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 1>before the game. It's kind of weird, but it was nice. Yeah,

0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:34.800
<v Speaker 1>something you certainly developed there in the college atmosphere. You

0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:36.640
<v Speaker 1>just you can't beat that, you know, talking about both

0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 1>you Dove and W Shoe, it's a lot of fun

0:35:38.560 --> 0:35:40.480
<v Speaker 1>on that campus during game days, and especially for you

0:35:40.520 --> 0:35:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a player. I'm sure let's go ahead and wrap this

0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:45.600
<v Speaker 1>thing up here. We're both again PMW guys, Miles, And

0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 1>there are some things that I certainly miss. I've been

0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 1>here for less than a year. You a little bit

0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:51.040
<v Speaker 1>more than a year now, but there are some things

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't miss as well. What is your like pros

0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and cons list when it comes to comparing the Pacific

0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Northwest to South Florida? Do you have some things you

0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:01.120
<v Speaker 1>miss more than others, things you like down here more

0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:04.239
<v Speaker 1>than others I miss I miss just kind of just

0:36:04.360 --> 0:36:08.239
<v Speaker 1>the home atmosphere, just knowing where everything is, knowing just

0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:11.480
<v Speaker 1>knowing where to go. And there's bad traffic and stuff

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 1>like that out here, I just gotta sit in it.

0:36:14.040 --> 0:36:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know what to do. I just follow

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 1>my phone. But I love it out here. Out thought

0:36:18.680 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of that, I love it out here. It's hot. I

0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 1>mean sometimes that kind of makes me mad, just kind

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 1>of just sweating all the time. But it's just so

0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:30.960
<v Speaker 1>much different. Like out here, there's lizards everywhere. In Seattle,

0:36:31.120 --> 0:36:35.479
<v Speaker 1>you don't see lizards anywhere. Alligator and stuff like that,

0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:39.399
<v Speaker 1>different types of food. It's just it's just total two

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:42.320
<v Speaker 1>different places. I love it though. I love the change.

0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:45.759
<v Speaker 1>I spent my whole life in Washington growing up, in

0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:49.040
<v Speaker 1>four years of college, so like this big jump last

0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:50.800
<v Speaker 1>year was a big jump is kind of eye opening.

0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 1>But coming back down here the second time, getting right

0:36:53.200 --> 0:36:55.600
<v Speaker 1>for the season again, I was more than excited to

0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:58.520
<v Speaker 1>be back down your south for So have you encountered

0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:01.200
<v Speaker 1>an alligator yet? Yeah? I've seen like three or four.

0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:04.279
<v Speaker 1>I got a dog. So I like walking around like

0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:06.400
<v Speaker 1>these canals and I can see like these little not

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:09.919
<v Speaker 1>big out not little alligators or not huge alligators either,

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Like you can kind of kind of feeding, like pop

0:37:11.880 --> 0:37:18.759
<v Speaker 1>their head up, look at my dog. I'm like, not today, No,

0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:23.080
<v Speaker 1>it's just crazy. They like day to day light the alligator.

0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Every once in a while. I know, man, I'll go

0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:26.440
<v Speaker 1>on my back my back porch and I'll see a

0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:27.880
<v Speaker 1>lizard on the wall. It's like, well when I kind

0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:30.280
<v Speaker 1>of like freaks you out. My first day, my second

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 1>day here, I got here in July and I saw

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:35.719
<v Speaker 1>an alligator climbing down the bank on Sheridan back into

0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:37.439
<v Speaker 1>the little canal that I was like, Okay, that's gonna

0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:39.600
<v Speaker 1>be like an everyday thing. But I haven't seen one

0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 1>since now. One other topic I want to finish up

0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:45.000
<v Speaker 1>here with on you, Miles is the is the rain,

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:47.799
<v Speaker 1>because you know, we had that giant rainstorm the last

0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:49.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of days here and kind of that tropical fields.

0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:52.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a warm rain. But you're from the Pacific Northwest

0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:54.880
<v Speaker 1>on the west side of the mountains, and I'm from

0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the east side of the mountains where it's dry desert.

0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:59.279
<v Speaker 1>I know you probably know the difference in Washington State.

0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:02.239
<v Speaker 1>Most folks down year I have to explain Western Washington's

0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:05.319
<v Speaker 1>forest and Eastern Washington's all desert and dry. Do you

0:38:05.360 --> 0:38:07.319
<v Speaker 1>miss the rain, or did you like the rain up there?

0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I missed. I missed the Seattle rain. Like out here,

0:38:10.840 --> 0:38:13.240
<v Speaker 1>when it rains, it's kind of scary, to be honest.

0:38:13.320 --> 0:38:16.759
<v Speaker 1>It's like pouring, like when you're driving in your car.

0:38:16.920 --> 0:38:19.840
<v Speaker 1>You gotta have it winshield, wipers always going, and you

0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:22.360
<v Speaker 1>got bundled, not bundled up out here, but like you

0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:24.520
<v Speaker 1>get like went went out here. If you get caught

0:38:24.560 --> 0:38:27.520
<v Speaker 1>in the rain and Seattle like it rains a little bit,

0:38:27.520 --> 0:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>I can put on the hoodie and still keep them

0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 1>when I need to keep them. When the rains out here,

0:38:30.960 --> 0:38:32.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm staying in the house or staying wherever I'm at.

0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Actually funny stories. When I first came down here, I

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:37.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know. It was like the first time. It was

0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 1>like the first weekend. We had all went to the

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:43.400
<v Speaker 1>movies and sunny just like I would always is, and

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:45.680
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the movies it was pouring down rain

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and I had walked to the movie theater, so I

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:50.480
<v Speaker 1>thought I could run back. I ran back all the

0:38:50.480 --> 0:38:53.480
<v Speaker 1>way back to the hotel. Phone was broken. Just ruined

0:38:53.480 --> 0:38:55.320
<v Speaker 1>my day, and I was like, yeah, that's the last

0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 1>time I try and to out the rain. Was that

0:38:58.160 --> 0:39:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the fastest four time you ever clocked right. No, I

0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:06.440
<v Speaker 1>got caught in the light. It happens to me going

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:08.400
<v Speaker 1>from from the building back to like where I do
