Speaker 3: go ahead and make our way towards the field house
Speaker 3: over here, em Manual. So you're coming back from last
Speaker 3: year off the injury. I have to imagine you're pretty
Speaker 3: fired up to get.
Speaker 2: Back at it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, there's a long time wait and I
Speaker 4: can't wait to get back out there my brothers looking
Speaker 4: forward to this season.
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things about watching practice out here
Speaker 3: every day is watching coach Clark just kind of get
Speaker 3: a little bit animated. Tell us about what he's What's
Speaker 3: what's it like playing for coach Clerk?
Speaker 4: Oh, he brings the energy to the team. You know,
Speaker 4: he wants the best out of us, So you know
Speaker 4: he's out there yelling. He's trying to get under our
Speaker 4: skin because he knows we can do better. So that's
Speaker 4: one thing I like about.
Speaker 2: Course, he gets a good breush out of you.
Speaker 3: Guess that's for sure. So you guys heading out to
Speaker 3: Houston for joint practices this year, that's your hometown. You
Speaker 3: got the football camp coming up here next month, right,
Speaker 3: how's that going to be?
Speaker 4: Oh, it's gonna be amazing. We've got the football camp
Speaker 4: July eighth. Can't wait to see the kids. Came to
Speaker 4: meet the kids that was. We're going to have some
Speaker 4: kids that were here last year as well. But yeah,
Speaker 4: and also got the joint practice in Houston. I can't
Speaker 4: wait for that too. And all my family and friends
Speaker 4: are going to be there as well.
Speaker 3: So you have plans, are ready to meet up with
Speaker 3: the family when you get out there.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, already told her. I was going, Hey, whatever
Speaker 4: days we have off, No, I'm ready for that home
Speaker 4: Couick Meal.
Speaker 3: So you had the football camp coming up in Houston,
Speaker 3: but you also had the trip to Africa that you
Speaker 3: took recently this offseason. Did that kind of get you
Speaker 3: ready for some updated drills, maybe some updated practices there
Speaker 3: at the camp?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, would say, mostly just inspise men to talk
Speaker 4: to the kids about certain things like you got to
Speaker 4: be grateful for your opportunity that you have that those
Speaker 4: kids don't really have much, and they're excited to be
Speaker 4: out there and listen and learn. Also some drills too
Speaker 4: that I learned a longer way too.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, So we got You know, you've been here for
Speaker 3: this is your fourth year, first year under coach Fangio.
Speaker 3: How's it been, kind of adapting to the way he
Speaker 3: coachesn't his scheme here on defense been?
Speaker 4: It's been unique because you know, he's a he's a
Speaker 4: genius on the defense. So you know, he's trying to
Speaker 4: put players in the best position available. So you know,
Speaker 4: I'm just going to listen and learn. And also you
Speaker 4: know I'm taking notes, you know, learning different position groups.
Speaker 4: So I'm just ready to go.
Speaker 3: So last year we saw Tyreek Kill get added to
Speaker 3: the offense, you know, an All Pro, but very much.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you how he's gonna beat you on
Speaker 3: the defense? Now you got a guy like ja and
Speaker 3: Rams in the back end. What's it like incorporating him
Speaker 3: personality wise and skill wise to that defense.
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a talented player and we're happy to have him.
Speaker 4: You know, he's going to bring a lot to the
Speaker 4: defense and I can't wait to see him out there.
Speaker 3: He's gonna be fun to watch. So you got training
Speaker 3: camp coming up, trip back to Houston, anything else going
Speaker 3: on the summer?
Speaker 2: You're looking forward.
Speaker 4: To just training and getting back, you know, getting the
Speaker 4: tip top shake, coming to camp, attacking it.
Speaker 3: So let's go to go. How did the twenty twenty
Speaker 3: two season kind of prepare you for what's to come?
Speaker 3: Because obviously lots of adversity for the team, yourself personally,
Speaker 3: How does that kind of prepare you to take that
Speaker 3: next step next year?
Speaker 4: Because you never know when your last players, so you
Speaker 4: know you got to give it you all every single play,
Speaker 4: So you know, I'm just ready to go out there
Speaker 4: and just give him my all every single.
Speaker 3: Place and appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Man, Thanks, thank you, thanks for having me.
Speaker 3: And there he goes. One of my favorite people here
Speaker 3: inside the entire building. E Manual has been very good
Speaker 3: to me for very many years now, so appreciate you
Speaker 3: as always a manual. Let's go ahead and take our
Speaker 3: first break right here and come back on the other
Speaker 3: side and preview his position group, and then we'll also
Speaker 3: hear from Jalen Phillips.
Speaker 2: You don't want to miss that one.
Speaker 3: All of that and more next on the Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 3: your host Travis Wingfield, brought.
Speaker 2: To you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 3: Stop me if you've heard this before, but I think
Speaker 3: we're about to talk about one of the deepest and
Speaker 3: best position groups in the NFL. It does feel like
Speaker 3: we have several position groups that I feel that way
Speaker 3: towards with this.
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins football team.
Speaker 3: But once I gave you the numbers and the details here,
Speaker 3: I think you'll agree with me. Number two, Bradley Chubb
Speaker 3: is where we kick it off in order of jersey number.
Speaker 3: And the Dolphins pass rush rate took off last year
Speaker 3: when Bradley Chubb arrived, and we thought it might signal
Speaker 3: more of a defensive shift philosophically, it didn't really do that.
Speaker 3: I think the new coaching staff in place this year
Speaker 3: will kind of see through, or see that through, I
Speaker 3: should say. And the production of Jalen Phillips went from
Speaker 3: very good to the one of the most consistent pass
Speaker 3: rushers in the NFL once Chubb arrived. Just look at
Speaker 3: the splits before and after all. The numbers are substantially better.
Speaker 3: I lost track of how many pressures Phillips had recorded
Speaker 3: in two point five seconds or less. But the ball
Speaker 3: comes out and sack production, you know, it kind of
Speaker 3: reminds me of like RBIs and baseball a little bit
Speaker 3: antiquated in terms of measuring an individual's prowess, because it's
Speaker 3: not an individual stat. If you whip your man one
Speaker 3: on one and the quarterback throws on a three step
Speaker 3: hitch up timing, that's out in one point eight seconds.
Speaker 2: What else can you do?
Speaker 3: I mean, you set the tackle up, you beat him
Speaker 3: with your move, and then the quarterback just got rid
Speaker 3: of the ball before you even had chance to.
Speaker 2: Get to him.
Speaker 3: That's there's nothing you can do about that. So I
Speaker 3: don't look at sacks as like the end all be all.
Speaker 3: Of course, they're important to get quarterbacks on the ground
Speaker 3: that to end drives, but consistently pressuring the quarterback typically
Speaker 3: results in more sacks. So it's process over results. And
Speaker 3: for Bradley, he's a multifaceted player. Hand in the dirt,
Speaker 3: stand up rusher either side, condensed inside loop inside off
Speaker 3: of the stunts and rush games win with speed off
Speaker 3: the edge rush. The quarterback on the way to the
Speaker 3: run does peek inside a little bit sometimes on the
Speaker 3: outside contain. We saw that in the Buffalo game a
Speaker 3: couple of times. But there's a reason he was a
Speaker 3: number five overall pick, you know a couple of years back.
Speaker 3: He is as physically getted as they come. He's lengthy,
Speaker 3: he's bendy, has good burst, a nice assortment of counter
Speaker 3: moves to deal with you know what guys might do
Speaker 3: to fort his original pass rush and get that second
Speaker 3: effort sack that is so crucial. He was top ten
Speaker 3: last year in pass rush win rate, which again goes
Speaker 3: back to the whole process aspect, like you can tangibly,
Speaker 3: you know, point to that metric and say, here's him
Speaker 3: winning his pass rush moves, just you know, the result
Speaker 3: is sometimes out of his control, and we saw that
Speaker 3: last year was number ten among edge rushers. He finished
Speaker 3: with fifty four quarterback pressures, had twenty eight of those
Speaker 3: with us. He had twenty five total run stops and
Speaker 3: eight total sacks twentyquarterback hits. Those are good numbers. I'm
Speaker 3: not really sure where this, you know, I guess thought
Speaker 3: comes that he wasn't productive.
Speaker 1: He was.
Speaker 3: He was definitely that for us, and I expected to
Speaker 3: be even more so here reuniting with Fick Fangio. The
Speaker 3: guy that I expect to have maybe the biggest year
Speaker 3: on the entire defense is number fifteen.
Speaker 2: Jalen Phillips.
Speaker 3: Speaking of good numbers, he had a breakout year Man,
Speaker 3: even though his sack total went down by one and
Speaker 3: a half eight point five to seven. He's also only
Speaker 3: a second Dolphin ever to start their career with two
Speaker 3: seasons of seven or more sacks. And this is why
Speaker 3: I don't think sacks tell the whole story. He has
Speaker 3: nine more quarterback hits. You know, from those two years
Speaker 3: sixteen to twenty five, he made nineteen more tackles, had
Speaker 3: better fumble production, two squatted passes more, and then the
Speaker 3: QB pressures. He ended the year fifth in ESPN's pass
Speaker 3: rush win rate among edges. He went from thirty nine
Speaker 3: pressures as a rookie, which is good, it's very good,
Speaker 3: up to seventy seven. Seventy seven pressures.
Speaker 2: That's a lot.
Speaker 3: That was six in the NFL, behind only Parsons, Bosa, Reddick,
Speaker 3: Crosby ends a Darius Smith.
Speaker 2: You understand that group that he's part of.
Speaker 3: There, I mean, I guess you can do what a
Speaker 3: lot of folks do with the two of stats you
Speaker 3: know on Twitter and tell me doesn't count because two
Speaker 3: was in there, Like, yeah, that's the class that he's
Speaker 3: playing among. It was four more than Miles Garrett. For
Speaker 3: what it's worth, the best edge rusher in the game.
Speaker 3: If you ask me, well, Parsons has made that a
Speaker 3: good debate, But I digress. Phillips was built in a lab,
Speaker 3: exceptional testing numbers by every measure, and it translates to football.
Speaker 2: He's dedicated to the craft and I think it shows.
Speaker 3: I mean, we saw the photo that went around the
Speaker 3: Internet of him popping the shirt off there at the
Speaker 3: end of practice the effort. How many times do we
Speaker 3: see a quarterback think they had the pocket escaped and
Speaker 3: cleared and a path for a big run, only to
Speaker 3: get flagged down from the back by number fifteen. He's
Speaker 3: got a rush arsenal that allows him to set guys
Speaker 3: up and then exploit overplays later on in the game.
Speaker 2: Like you keep on.
Speaker 3: Threatening that inside post, you get him to squeeze and then
Speaker 3: he goes outside at the speed. Very good game plan
Speaker 3: as far as his rush attack goes. He kicks inside
Speaker 3: and rushes from that three tech position. And I mean
Speaker 3: to have tape of you winning with speed around a
Speaker 3: tackle off the edge and then also so steamrolling a
Speaker 3: three hundred and thirty pound guard inside. I just think
Speaker 3: this is a rare type of player who we saw
Speaker 3: scratch the surface of star counting stats a year ago,
Speaker 3: and I think putting him in situations where he can
Speaker 3: get more one on ones without committing rushers, which is
Speaker 3: kind of where the ball comes out quickly because you
Speaker 3: sends seven guys. A quarterback knows I got vulnera blayers
Speaker 3: in the back end, I'll go ahead and just pop
Speaker 3: this thing out in two seconds, and Phillips is two
Speaker 3: point one. Pass rush is no longer viable, So just
Speaker 3: a quarterback hit, but you know, makes them more susceptible
Speaker 3: in the back end to send the rushers rushing just
Speaker 3: for should see those quick pressures when the ball comes out,
Speaker 3: turn those QB hits and hurries hopefully into sacks and
Speaker 3: game changing plays. He also added forty two run stops,
Speaker 3: which is also tied for six among his position group.
Speaker 3: Crosby Lawrence Bosa, Naosu, daneil Hunter, and Micah Parsons the
Speaker 3: names in that group exceptional exceptional football players here then
Speaker 3: Phillips number forty three Andrew Van Ginkle. I feel like
Speaker 3: every roster needs and Andrew Van Ginkle, and maybe that
Speaker 3: hair as well, probably every position of does pretty quietly
Speaker 3: goes about his work, has evolving roles that he just
Speaker 3: professionally executes.
Speaker 2: He's been a.
Speaker 3: Critical part of our core special teams really since his
Speaker 3: second year here. He stepped in in a pinch and
Speaker 3: given us sixty edge snaps, winning with critical pass rushes.
Speaker 3: Like think back to that twenty twenty game in Las
Speaker 3: Vegas where Kyle van Noy was down. He steps up
Speaker 3: and gets sixty snaps in that game and gets a
Speaker 3: couple of sacks, and I think even a I think
Speaker 3: a fourth funnel.
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3: He's shown growth and effectiveness as a run defender each year,
Speaker 3: and he wins with this pass rush above league average rate.
Speaker 3: Phillips and Chubb will get the marquee when you talk about,
Speaker 3: you know this group as national spotlight goes, but you
Speaker 3: consider getting Ogbob back Andrew van Ginkel Malik read, it's
Speaker 3: not just in the discussion for best room and position
Speaker 3: group in the league.
Speaker 2: As far as the top guys goes.
Speaker 3: It might be the deepest too, because you have legit
Speaker 3: pass rushers four or five six deep here he's listed
Speaker 3: at two forty two. I remember doing a podcast with
Speaker 3: Andrew his second year when he was here, and he
Speaker 3: was like, we were talking about how he was stuck
Speaker 3: two hundred and seventeen pounds it with Conston, and that
Speaker 3: had been his focus those first few years, adding functional strength,
Speaker 3: and I think he's done that very well. He went
Speaker 3: from eight hundred and one snaps in twenty twenty one
Speaker 3: to three hundred and fifty seven last year, which coincides
Speaker 3: with a three to zero seven versus one oh six
Speaker 3: pass rush rep count, so you see that kind of
Speaker 3: drop off in playing time, but the efficiency was not
Speaker 3: very different. Forty five pressures compared to eleven, thirty eight
Speaker 3: run stops compared to eighteen. I think you pretty much
Speaker 3: know exactly what you get with Andrew when you put
Speaker 3: him on the field, and that's why I think it's
Speaker 3: important to have guys like him. He's a picture of
Speaker 3: consistency and he strengthens your depth in multiple ways. I
Speaker 3: mentioned to Malik Reid number forty seven already. I view
Speaker 3: him and Van Ginkle in relatively similar fashion, not necessarily
Speaker 3: their skills or play style, but rather in the quiet professionalism,
Speaker 3: the consistency of personality and play. Reid was a beast
Speaker 3: when he was with Fangio, and the only year where
Speaker 3: the statistic co didn't jump off the page for him
Speaker 3: was last year, and he was traded on like September fifth,
Speaker 3: to a defense that I don't think suited his skill set.
Speaker 3: To come up the depth chart as a UDFA and
Speaker 3: Fangio's first year, and to then earn four hundred and
Speaker 3: sixty eight snaps and produce twenty quarterback pressures on just
Speaker 3: two hundred and thirty four pass rush snaps, and then
Speaker 3: to go full time starter within the next year after
Speaker 3: that and go to seven hundred and thirty seven snaps
Speaker 3: and seven hundred and eighty five total snaps on defense, respectively,
Speaker 3: and to check in with thirty six and twenty seven
Speaker 3: QB pressures totaling thirteen sacks and twenty five quarterback hits.
Speaker 3: Like I remember reading a story about him and von
Speaker 3: Miller saying that Malik was the blueprint for how a
Speaker 3: player with that pedigree undrafted should go about his work
Speaker 3: coming into the NFL. Again, consistency, you know what you're
Speaker 3: gonna get in terms of production, work in the classroom,
Speaker 3: weight room, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. You can
Speaker 3: make up a pretty damn good football team if you
Speaker 3: have fifty three guys just with those trades alone and
Speaker 3: you hear as far as what he does well, because
Speaker 3: I know a lot of you guys probably haven't you
Speaker 3: washed him play yet.
Speaker 2: You hear the term bend a lot.
Speaker 3: This guy has exceptional acceleration around the edge as he
Speaker 3: works under the bigger tackles. He's only six foot two.
Speaker 3: Most tackles go about sixty five r six five sixty six.
Speaker 3: He's compactly built, with excellent flexibility and strength to hold like,
Speaker 3: you know, to one leg it and kind of absorb
Speaker 3: a double team or a you know, a drive block.
Speaker 3: But as a pass rush, you see it in the
Speaker 3: way he gets around that edge and can kind of
Speaker 3: you know, show the flexibility in the lower half and
Speaker 3: stay on balance while he chops or rips and explodes
Speaker 3: around the corner, using the leverage of the tackle to
Speaker 3: gain acceleration as he does corner. He also has really
Speaker 3: good inside step and lateral agility to help execute games,
Speaker 3: and that pairs really well with his ability to play
Speaker 3: off the ball and drop into coverage because all of
Speaker 3: a sudden you have a player like I don't know
Speaker 3: if he's coming or if he's dropping, because he has
Speaker 3: the ability to do either on any given play. Big
Speaker 3: big fan of this acquisition. Number fifty Mitchell Agude the
Speaker 3: UDFA from Miami, coming off a very impressive OTAs where
Speaker 3: once we got to know Mitchell's story a little bit,
Speaker 3: it became a little more intriguing as he was playing
Speaker 3: better and better each day. He talked, you know, kind
Speaker 3: of a Spider Man meme nature of his similar path
Speaker 3: to Jalen Phillips UCLA UM to the Miami Dolphins. It's
Speaker 3: the burst that I'm most excited to watch here at camp.
Speaker 3: He played really damn fast and that helped create the
Speaker 3: production in those OTA practices. Now no pads can he
Speaker 3: parlay that into when the pads go on and keep ascending.
Speaker 3: You do that into preseason games, you get preseason production.
Speaker 3: That's how you find yourself making a fifty three meters roster.
Speaker 3: He notched seventy eight career quarterback pressures on seven hundred
Speaker 3: and sixty seven career pass rush snaps in college and
Speaker 3: seventy run stops in five hundred and twenty two snaps
Speaker 3: in the running game. So a very productive collegiate career.
Speaker 3: Number fifty three Cameron Good speaking of productive college careers,
Speaker 3: the former cal bear as in year number two, the
Speaker 3: former seventh round draft pick back in twenty twenty two
Speaker 3: also showed up with some splash plays and OTA's this
Speaker 3: spring after something of a red shirt rookie year. He
Speaker 3: played five years at Cal, though two of those were
Speaker 3: fractions of seasons because of an injury in twenty eighteen
Speaker 3: and the pandemic shortened season back in twenty twenty. But
Speaker 3: all things told, almost one thousand reps as a pass
Speaker 3: rusher in nine to ninety seven, got one hundred and
Speaker 3: six pressures out of that, twenty two hundred snaps on defense,
Speaker 3: with ninety seven run stops against nine hundred plays against
Speaker 3: the run number fifty six. Garrett Nelson another rookie, well
Speaker 3: not another one, but like a goody undrafted rookie. You know,
Speaker 3: it's funny. I keep talking about the waves of known
Speaker 3: commodities at this position that we have, and then all
Speaker 3: I can talk about was how good the rookies were
Speaker 3: in OTAs, And of course Chubb and Phillips didn't get
Speaker 3: a lot of run in those practices ogball as well.
Speaker 3: Garrett Nelson was another one, you know. Phillips mentioned Nelson
Speaker 3: and Aguda as two guys that really impressed him during OTAs.
Speaker 3: You might not find a hotter motor than Garrett Nelson.
Speaker 3: He's all effort, all the time. Go look at what
Speaker 3: Nebraska fans had to say about Garrett Nelson. They love
Speaker 3: this dude because he plays with his hair on fire
Speaker 3: at all times. He had thirty two quarterback pressures in
Speaker 3: back to back years the last couple of seasons to
Speaker 3: finish up his four year college stay. Also had thirty
Speaker 3: three run stops and twenty two to go along with that,
Speaker 3: so you know, effective in both phases of the game
Speaker 3: played nearly two thousand snaps up there in Lincoln, number
Speaker 3: ninety Randy Charlton, I keep thinking like Randy Johnson, Norm Charlton.
Speaker 3: My Seattle marriage influence there popping up here a little bit.
Speaker 3: I remember him most from OTA's when he broke the
Speaker 3: sled on the first day of practice. He began his
Speaker 3: college career at UCF for three years, then transfer to
Speaker 3: Mississippi State for two. There, he had fifty one pressures
Speaker 3: on five hundred and seventy seven pass rush reps and
Speaker 3: then forty one run stops on four hundred and thirty
Speaker 3: nine plays against the run, ending here with number ninety one.
Speaker 3: Emmanual Ogba really the only true even front defensive end
Speaker 3: down lineman on the roster. I never understand why this
Speaker 3: happens in football, but I always feel like people forget
Speaker 3: about players the year after an injury. With Ogba, that's
Speaker 3: going to be a mistake. He was top ten among
Speaker 3: edges in a lot of the major categories the PFF
Speaker 3: tracks his first two years here with the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3: After last year was cut short. We're not crafting depth
Speaker 3: charts here, but with Phillips and Chubb, there's a chance
Speaker 3: you could call Ogba like your number three rusher. And
Speaker 3: to have a guy who posted one hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: seven pressures and fifty six run stops in two years
Speaker 3: in that role, I don't think you'd find that anywhere
Speaker 3: else in the NFL.
Speaker 2: He's been a closer for us.
Speaker 3: That big pass rush when he had last year on
Speaker 3: the final Bills drive back in Week three, which forced
Speaker 3: a holding call that put Buffalo away behind the chains,
Speaker 3: and if they didn't lose those ten yards, they're proably
Speaker 3: kicking a field goal to win that game, or at
Speaker 3: least lining up to do so. When he gets those
Speaker 3: one on one chances, he usually capitalizes. Another example of
Speaker 3: the right, kind of guy, goes about his business, good leader,
Speaker 3: beloved in the locker room, does what he's asked. I'd
Speaker 3: be shocked if Emmanuel comes back totally healthy and doesn't
Speaker 3: have a big bounce back season.
Speaker 2: Man, this position group is freaking loaded.
Speaker 3: Man. Let's go ahead and take our last break rate
Speaker 3: there and come back on the other side. And hear
Speaker 3: from Dolphins outside linebacker Jalen Phillips. That's next Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 3: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 2: What's up, guys?
Speaker 3: Travis Wingfield here for another edition of one hundred Yards
Speaker 3: with Travis Wingfield. Dolphins outside linebacker JAYM. Phillip showings me today, Jayden,
Speaker 3: how you doing?
Speaker 1: Man? Nor on Fantastic Cake and playing Man's Sunny Day
Speaker 1: and South Florida. Man, we living good.
Speaker 3: The heat is coming and going today mostly on, but
Speaker 3: we'll deal with as we go. So, speaking of the heat,
Speaker 3: you kind of broke social media the other day. The
Speaker 3: image came out of you after practice looking good. I'm curious, man,
Speaker 3: what's the workout regimen you have to put in to
Speaker 3: get looking like that? Man?
Speaker 1: It's it's a cumulative effect, man, Its years of lifting. Really,
Speaker 1: I guess ever since I got to you, I really
Speaker 1: started to kind of focus back on my body, and
Speaker 1: you know, ever since then, it's my kind of mantra
Speaker 1: is just to do more than what's required in me
Speaker 1: all the time. So you know, obviously we got our
Speaker 1: lifts in the weight room, but afterwards, you know, whether
Speaker 1: it's arms, whether it's core, whether it's some extra stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm always doing that. So man, a lot of it
Speaker 1: plays into diet as well. I mean I've been huge
Speaker 1: in my diet for the last couple of years. So ye, man,
Speaker 1: just trying to be the best I can and just
Speaker 1: you know, have the best performance on the field. So
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta look the part that's all right.
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you how many times you can
Speaker 3: betch press me, but it might be more appropriate to
Speaker 3: ask you anytimes you get armcrill me from a buck sixty?
Speaker 4: Man, arm cool?
Speaker 1: I guess the bench actually be a better question. I
Speaker 1: can probably bench you about thirty times something like that.
Speaker 1: I did twenty one with two twenty five, So if
Speaker 1: you a few bucks sixty, I get you a smooth thirty.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I had to flight it might come something like that.
Speaker 3: You know, speaking of bench press. You probably don't do
Speaker 3: a lot of that, you know postcomby at least not
Speaker 3: measured wise. But you know you're going to year three now,
Speaker 3: last year valuable playoff experience for this team. Just curious
Speaker 3: from your perspective, young guy kind of coming into your
Speaker 3: own in the league. Now, what was that experience like
Speaker 3: for you and the team? You know, not just the
Speaker 3: playoff game, but down the stretch getting all those really
Speaker 3: important games. But I think that does for the twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's huge, just preps us to be
Speaker 1: in that big spotlight. I think getting the exposure feeling
Speaker 1: in that playoff environment was really great for us. So
