WEBVTT - Day 4 Dolphins Camp - Tua Going Deep, Tyreek and Blaise Fire Up The Crowd, Edmonds Hits Homers, Van Ginkel Gets Home and Fans Are Back 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:05.360 To us byres touch style by Waddle snucked into the 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.440 end zone of Miami by tight froll type window. They 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:11.760 had to get that touchdown on that play. They get it. 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:19.040 What is up? Dolphins and welcome to the Drivetime Podcast, 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:23.040 part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:27.520 your Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your host, 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:31.400 Travis Wingfield and on today's show, welcome back, Welcome Back, 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.040 Welcome Back. Wednesday was the first day of camp, but 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.600 today felt like the true first day of football with 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:43.680 a packed house, a sold out crowd joining us for practice. 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.040 Today we have a day for report, including coach McDaniel 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:51.360 addressing the media, a full practice breakdown, some hype videos 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.960 from Tyreek Hill and Blaze Andrew's and some player availability. 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:59.160 We spoke to Emmanuel Ogba, Mike Kaski, Sony Michelle, Teddy Bridgewater, 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.680 and Brandon Jones from the Baptist Health Studios inside the 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:07.920 Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drive Time Podcast. 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.520 I think there's no other way to start this podcast 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.399 than to go with some pre practice activities. Let's go 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.680 ahead and pick it up first here with Tyreek Hill, 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.399 who did a backflip and then egged the crowd on 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:36.960 for some encouragement and some excitement. Here's Cheetah. That was 0:01:37.000 --> 0:02:11.519 the backflips. What's your popcorn rating? And you think that's 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:16.120 a pretty impossible act to follow, But you would think incorrectly, 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:20.240 because up next we were blessed by Blaze, Andrew's undrafted 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.440 rookie from Minnesota who's got a pretty nice profile as 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.960 a player, but perhaps an even better one as a 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:31.640 pure entertainer, as he went full on stone cold Steve Austin. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.000 I think there's an updated wrestling reference here that I'm 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.240 not really familiar with. Either way, here's Blaze Andrew's getting 0:02:38.240 --> 0:03:06.680 the crowd hyped after Tyreek did his job. So that 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.519 was me saying, oh my goodness and laughing, because how 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.480 do you not when a guy takes a couple of 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.800 Kansas Skittle flavored C four and smashes him on his 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:16.480 head to open up and takes a swig and goes 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.360 right back to the stretching line. How do you get 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.160 more hyped up for a training camp practice than that? 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.200 It was absolutely beautiful, And what you didn't get from 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.160 that is the video aspect of of him smashing those 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.079 cans and clapped them together. He cracked him first, though, 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.440 so to give them the little bit of resistance in 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.840 terms of the smashing. So a smart entertainer at that 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.200 as well. Let's go back to the beginning of the day, 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.960 and man, it sure felt like the start of football season. 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.360 Because nothing, nothing beats the buzz and the sound you 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.080 get from fans reacting. It's the best at hard Rock 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.560 Stadium on Sundays. But I'll take the sold out crowd 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.960 here at practice of the Baptist Health Training Complex any 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.040 day of the week. Even the beat guys I was 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.720 sitting with, we're feeling the energy and given some ooze 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.360 and oz. It's infectious when you get out there. Let's 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.040 hear from the head coach now, Mike McDaniel on how 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.840 pumped he is to have fans back at practice. But first, 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.640 just before that, coach on memberships being sold out and 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.080 the waiting list for season tickets in three and how 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.960 much that fan support means to coach. Mike McDaniel will 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.040 do that first and then come right back after that 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.719 with the quote from coach talking about fans back at practice. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:31.680 It's everything. It's uh, it's important enough, um that I 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.599 I think it's important to communicated to the players. I 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.159 think it's something that that you know, we're not entitled 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.760 to UM, but it's a competitive advantage and it's kind 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.240 of why you do think you do what you do, 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:50.360 you know, so UM, it's it's really something cool that 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.760 the players know about. It means a lot to UM 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.120 and we're you know, it's just another reason for us 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:02.080 to go about our daily process UM with a fine 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:06.159 tooth comb to make sure UM that we we pay 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.920 them back for their investment in us UM. And I 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.320 think that's something that the players, coaches and the organization 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.000 holds true to heart. That's for games and now coach 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.719 on fans at practice here for training camp. I love 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.760 having fans at practice. It's kind of true to my 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:26.520 heart because that's literally full circle. That's where UM training 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.080 camp practice in Greely, Colorado, UM for the Denver Broncos, 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.760 where I got UM, where this whole thing for me started. 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:39.080 So the there there is a connection that I think 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.760 UM you can have have with your with the fans 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.840 in that you're and I tell the players, UM, a 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.200 good amount is you know, how fortunate are you to 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:56.120 be doing something that Yeah, there's a lot of um 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.640 front end commitment. There's a lot of sacrifice. Um. Again, 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.960 people don't realize that players only have one day off 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:09.400 a week for like seven months straight. Um, but that 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.359 it's also purposeful because not only are you trying to 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:18.280 have success for your um, for yourself, for your team, 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.640 but how cool is it that you, um, there's there's 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.520 millions of people that you can make their day a 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:28.920 little more positive, make Monday work day a little bit better. Um, 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.159 just by doing what you do. You know, everybody wins. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:37.680 So uh that that's um, really true to my heart, 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.880 close to my heart, and it's the guys are fired 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.920 up and feel and feel pretty fortunate. Sorry, you know, 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.120 I'll you never know when my statement's gonna stop. So 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.000 it is a tough jump in. Uh, you don't worry 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.000 about it. It was a pretty fun moment with some 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.440 levity there at the press conferences. Someone tried to jump in, 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.280 but coach wasn't done talking yet. Uh, and he just 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.400 basically said, don't worry about him. As a lot big deal. 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.200 But I just think that in this sport, in this league, 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.279 it's so easy when you you know, reach a certain 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.120 point to kind of lose sight of some things, and 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.960 for coach McDaniel to recognize the importance of the fans 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.320 and really the driving force. I mean, it's everything he 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.520 said about what they do and just the acknowledgement of 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.640 making a work day on Monday better for a football 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.080 fan by by winning a game right or by just 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.200 bringing a little bit more positivity of someone's life because 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.720 the sport they love, the team they love is accomplishing 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.680 things and doing things the right way and having fun 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.160 doing it. It's just those little things to me speak 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:40.000 to coach McDaniels entire, the entire product that he brings 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.840 from a head coach perspective, a leader of the organization. 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.120 And I'm excited to see where it goes because I 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.720 think that he definitely has, you know, the right mindset 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.360 with that stuff and and I think the fans will 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:51.760 love to hear that too. And that's the kind of 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:53.920 guy that you know, from a player's perspective, you want 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.000 to go out there and really fight your butt off 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.200 for so great stuff there from coach. I think my 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.720 favorite quote the entire day was like hung in cheek 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.040 follow up question that coach reciprocated. He was asked if 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.000 there was some ten year old protege at the stands 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.960 coming for his job, you know, during these practices, and 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.400 Coach said, that's why I don't allow any ambitious children 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.400 to practice. That was the one thing I cut out. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.760 Really good joke there from coach. Also like what he 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.239 said about Raheem Moster, who earned the fastest time speed 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.160 of anybody at Friday's practice. Something Coach says that he 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.720 announces that every team meeting, and that Raheem got something 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.480 of an unsolicited round of applause from the guys as 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.320 they appreciated the work that he put in to get 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.760 himself ready to go back onto the field after that 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:38.120 injury in Javon Holland moving on to the defense, was 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.080 in the Orange Jersey for the second time this season, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.760 the first two time winner of that distinction, and Coach 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.120 was asked about his second year safety out of Oregon 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.880 and the impressions he has of Javon Holland through the 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:54.680 first few practices here. I like having him, especially on 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.600 on the team that I'm on and not the team 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.640 that I'm playing against. Um he's uh, it's been cool. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:05.400 I didn't know too much about him, um uh before 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:10.520 I had studied uh our tape here and his play 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:16.000 as a rookie was very impressive. UM. And there the 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.960 way he's been diligent about approaching his craft. UM, he's 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.480 serious about UM continuing to take his game to the 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.600 next level. UH and and that as an impact player 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.920 is something that the UM Dolphins team, all of us 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.480 are depending. Only good stuff there from coach. I always 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.560 thought the comment from coach on Mike Gasicki and the 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.360 blocking game was excellent about how he wants to attack 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.160 blocking with a different severity than he has ever before. 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.600 And he's fortunate and we're fortunate that guess what his position, 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.600 coach John Embry will settle for nothing less. So all 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.600 those things or something I think he's definitely embracing and 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.640 I'm excited to see what it looks like when it's 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.040 all said and done again, just sounds good. And then 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.200 here with Chase Edmonds, he had himself a big day right. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.280 More on that in just one moment, But here's Coach 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.360 McDaniel talking about the evaluation of Chase Edmunds and the 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.360 evolution of Chase Edmonds game. Going from you know, talking 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.240 about a free agent or a new acquisition who has 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.360 been in one scheme for so long coming to a 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.560 new scheme and using multiple things. Here's Coach talking about 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.679 Chase Edmunds the evaluation process and how far along he's 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:23.560 come so far here as a Miami Dolphin. It's a 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:28.480 it's a cool process because you are aware that UM, 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.840 it is unique. You know, evaluating Chase in the off season, 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.240 we knew that the stuff he was doing, UM wasn't 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:39.080 the exact same is what we plan on doing. That 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:44.600 being said, UM, you're evaluating how people approach space, how 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:49.080 people play off blockers, how people make defenders miss UM. 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.960 So again, that's why I don't get ahead of myself 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.520 about all right, he's right here, it's going to be 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:59.000 this way. Uh him. He's been a great example of 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.000 watching someone for aggress He's UM really in the last 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.439 couple of days put some tremendous things UM on tape. 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.960 UM with that regard in that scheme. It's a process, 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.840 but you just talk through it, UM and it's pretty 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.920 you know, when it clicks for guys, it's very enjoyable 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.200 and it helps them once it clicks once and the 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:22.440 buying is real and they just continue UM. Approaching things 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.880 the same way moving forward really helps them play faster 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.600 on when it comes to real, live game bullets and 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.920 people are actually trying to tackle them. Let's go ahead 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.280 and finish up right here with one last question, A 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.319 question about what coach has learned about this team through 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.160 the first week and a half or so, I should 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.040 say half week or so of training camp. I've learned 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:47.040 that there's been some trust that's been earned on both sides. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:52.280 I think, UM, I think that uh, you know, really 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:56.040 challenge them to you know, everybody wants to say that 0:11:56.080 --> 0:12:01.520 you want to do these um superfluous things and YadA YadA, 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.440 but what about doing And what I've seen in three 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:11.440 days is, UM is guys that are following the words 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:16.720 with actions. They they they care about their teammates. UM. 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:23.840 They have approached approach each and every day with ultimate professionalism. UM. 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.360 And then there's been little pieces along those couple of 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:31.000 days that you're like, hey, that's not what we want 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:35.720 for what we're trying to get done. And UM, I 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.360 think it's happened on a couple of times each and 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.880 every day, and every time, UM, it's been corrected. So 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.160 that that also tells you a lot as well. So 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:50.240 UM couldn't be more excited to chop Wood and going 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:56.640 to step four of this this training camp process um 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.480 with every day just being one step. Let's go ahead 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.319 and take our first break and come back on the 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.840 other side and get to that's right. Notes from a fun, 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.200 fun practice here at the Baptist Ellustrainian Complex. That's next 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.360 on the Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield. We are 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:19.080 brought to you by Auto Nation and what a treat 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.840 it was for the fans that came out on Saturday. 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.040 We're back here on the Drivetime Podcast recapping that Saturday 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.680 practice as once the team broke from individual work, the 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.040 receivers and cornerbacks came over for one on ones right 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.440 in front of the grand stands, and it was all 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.240 about the shot plays, the deep vertical throws down the field, 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.880 and this period I think was a pretty good indication 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:41.920 of the kind of day we were going to see 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.480 from quarterback to a tongue of Bloa as he dropped 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:49.640 in multiple excellent passes, but three excellent balls right into 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.760 the bucket during this period, almost a fourth, but it 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.240 was a bit too far for Tyreek Hill overshot his 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:59.000 guy there to overthrown Tyreek is something that it's a 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.520 little bit noteworthy with xaviing Howard in coverage in great 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.679 shape alongside Cheetah there. But the three hits number one 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.240 to Cedric Wilson up the far sideline, and that play 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.720 was a good indicator of Wilson's ability to get vertical 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.839 and stack defensive backs. He did an all career long 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.319 four years. It's not the right phrase there, his whole 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.720 career in Dallas. He did that, getting vertical, getting deep 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.800 on guys and using his size to get down the field. 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.200 He's got this innate ability to do that and then 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.640 track the pass in a way that kind of keeps 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.800 the defensive back out of harm's way. I thought we 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.680 saw that on this rep and the ball just to 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.160 send it right into the bread basket, just like it 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.800 did on our second hit to Jalen Waddle up the 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.560 near sideline. Waddle had a couple of steps, probably the 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.680 easiest window of the four deep shots that two hit today, 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.520 and he didn't miss pitching catch from about forty yards 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.840 right on target. That was cool to see. And the 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.520 number three Mohammed san News Sr. And this one wasn't 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.240 a straight deep route but rather angled towards the pylon 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.520 like a flag route kind of and he just lays 0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.960 it out over the top, kind of akin to the 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.920 ball that he threw to Mike Gasicki and Buffalo last year, 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.280 that fourth down dime where he just laid it out 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.120 over the top, over the underneath defender, right into the 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.800 bread basket. Again, three really good shots right there from 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.400 Twah and the one on one period. Also in that period, 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.960 Trull Williams had another one of those reps that gets 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.240 him into the notes every day, really physical every juncture 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.400 of the route, drives on the route, gets his hands 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.840 on a pass for a PBu number six every day. 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.280 Has done that so far. Skyler Thompson had a deep 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.240 shot of his own to Preston Williams that was up 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.200 there for Ball of the Day too because it was 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.440 a really really good throw and Skylar Thompson can drive 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.720 the football down the field. You see the raw traits 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.000 for this kid coming together and watching him kind of 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.080 get better every day in practice. He's a fun guy 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.240 to watch play. Jalen Waddles snared a one handed grab 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.160 with xaviing Howard all over him. It was probably like 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.280 a two yard game but expressed and really won the rep. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.800 But Jalen still caught the football Xavian versus Tyreek and 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.560 Jalen has been as you can imagine, appointment viewing. I 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.440 can't wait to get Byron Jones back out here and 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.800 watch the four of those guys go at it. Tyreek's 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.280 best route today might have been a double move where 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.920 he generated a pretty good bit of cushion. You know, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.840 he's going one direction, slams on the brakes and kind 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.480 of ducks under the potential arm grab of the cornerback. 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.440 And I think it was Noah ignogny on this one, 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.680 and Tyreek kind of, you know, uses that savvy veteran 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.160 arm to kind of help him create a little more separation. 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.720 But the suddenness does that job too. And then again 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.080 to Ah knows ty Reeks tricks at this point because 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.600 the ball is it finds him right out of those 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.720 breaks like bang bang, and it's it's what you want 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.480 to see. That timing has been money so far. In Camp, 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.080 Braylon Sanders the U d F a out of old 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.480 miss had. I think the catch of Camp. It was 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:45.040 an overhand, one handed palm style Odell Beckham style catch 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.320 like I didn't even look real. I don't know how 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.760 he snagged that thing. He just reminds you of how 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.360 crazy talented each of these guys are out there. It's 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.120 it's incredible to watch. And then Sanders, I mean, he's 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.160 off to a very nice start. That's camp My recall 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.640 on the U d f A Podcast with Emery Hunt 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.000 from seas Sports HQ that he noted Sanders as one 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:04.680 of his U d f A s that popped off 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.360 the tape to him. Really good deep ball production there, 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.920 old miss. I literally peek over to the old line 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.280 d Lin pit drills for one matchup, and I'll get 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.040 to more of those as we go along and practice. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.600 I promise, was just throwing deep balls right in front 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.400 of me. I'm not gonna watch that, but I look 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:24.080 over and there's number fifteen, Jalen Phillips showcasing his pass 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.240 rush arsenal to the point that he got. He goes upfield, 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.000 gets his man leading one direction and then redirects back 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.080 inside and swipes that inside shoulder and it puts the 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.600 guy you know back on his on his backside and 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.200 flies by for a would be sack. If we count 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.000 sacks in this one on one drill with no quarterback, 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.600 I'll count it. Then we go to the team period, 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.280 the first team period portion of practice, and it begins 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:51.119 with Chase Edmonds hitting some explosives. Man, he looked really 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.760 really good today in practice. Coach talked him up. You 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.959 heard him talk a little bit about the proclivity for 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.080 the studying aspect of the game that Edmonds displays, and 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:01.639 I think today it kind of clicked for him a 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.440 bit in the terms of the vision and decisiveness because 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.720 he was hitting some small creases with ferocity. Man, he was. 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.160 It looked stacked up, but number two was scored out 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.840 the other side. And it's not like, you know, they're 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:15.919 tagging off and letting him go, Like he's finding these 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.840 creases and finding daylight and getting through him quickly before 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:20.920 the defense can get off their blocks and make a play. 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.200 I don't think I've seen a back hit that many 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.280 chunk runs and one practice since I got here in 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:28.600 and certainly not twenty nineteen, the year I was here 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:33.040 with lockdown Dolphins. Uh, and that running game pretty pretty impressive. 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.800 The first play he showed the speed by getting outside 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:39.160 the defense and winning the edge before getting ushered out 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.199 of bounds for about seven or eight yards or so, 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.960 and Austin Jackson had a really really good seal block 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.440 on that run. Good to see Jackson get some good 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.199 work in there. Then he gets a gap inside that 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.000 he plunged us through to a one on one situation 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.160 with Brandon Jones, and man, I wish we could simulate 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.960 these instances you know, every day in practice. But obviously 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.439 keeping guys healthy is your number one priority. No friendly 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.800 fire there. But there was a couple of instances where 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:04.919 it's Edmunds one on one with the safety and I 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.320 just want to see if we have a ten yard 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.560 game or a sixty yard touchdown. That's all. One of 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.080 my favorite quarterback plays of the day was an incomplete 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.439 past to Edmunds from tah I can't tell you the 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.480 caller or what you know the particular alert was, but 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:18.560 it looked to me like Edmund's motioned out and no 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:20.440 one picked him up. So to a calls for this 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:22.960 quick snap and flicks the ball down the field with 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:24.800 a ton of arc, like throw it to a space, 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.639 go get a chase. And that's why I loved it. 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.480 It's one, hey, if someone's uncovered, throw it to him, right. 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:32.840 But also the better part of the whole thing was 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:36.720 Javon Holland corrected the potential gaff of the defense because 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.480 of his range and he contested Edmunds, who had to 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.879 lay out for the past and it just goes incomplete 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.399 out of his reach. But if if Holland didn't recognize it, 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.320 I think it would have been a walk in touchdown. 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:49.520 So some good on both sides there. Also in the backfield, 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.320 John Lovett, the fullback, had a key pick up on 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.119 a Jalen Phillips rush to allow to a time to 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:57.560 find a short pass to Chase Edmunds. It was a 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.280 really good pocket. Phillips comes in late and love It 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.000 rotates over and picks up that block and too finds 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.600 the short pass for a catch and run by Chase Edmonds. 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:07.920 And then also in the backfield, Miles Gaskin I thought, 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:10.520 had his best day so far with some very decisive 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.800 runs of his own. One run in particular really impressed 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.959 me where he presses up to the line and then 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:20.679 kind of runs horizontally laterally to the offensive line to 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.400 win the corner. It's just smart running back. Myles Gaskin 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:25.960 back to the quarterback. No, it's a little bit scattered 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:27.800 here today. But two I had a couple of these 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.200 intermediate rips, including the first pass of the day, a 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.800 twenty ish yard completion. The intermediate passing game has really 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.119 been the biggest thing I've doned so far from practice, 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.679 although Saturday was all about the long ball. But he 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.919 had a nice rip to Tyreek Hill on that first period. 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.320 But I think Christian Wilkins got in because he won 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.199 that rep, and I'm pretty sure he would have had 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.440 a sack on that play. So yes, some give and take. 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.199 Another really good matchup that was a situation of good 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:54.600 on good. Was Hunter Long getting a vertical route opportunity 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.280 against Duke Riley up the sideline and Teddy bridge Water 0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.199 puts the ball in a great spot, but Riley was 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.240 step for step with Hunter Long and broke the pass up. 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.360 He's also had some nice work in the running game. 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.479 A very good camp so far for Duke Riley. Speaking 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.159 of linebackers, Channing Tindall, stop me if you've heard this before. 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.879 Another play where he explodes through the line for a 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.600 would be a collision in the backfield a tackle for loss. 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.440 He's done that at least once each practice that we've 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:20.640 been at out here, and Jerome Baker had a bunch 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.640 of plays today to My favorite was a display of 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.320 of just pure speed from double Nickels fifty five where 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.119 he got around the edge and you'll hear this term 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.440 from me a lot on the podcast, to scrape, and 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.560 basically what that means is you want your your inside 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.399 shoulder to scrape right off the outside shoulder of the 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.679 furthest man outside. That's the best way to fill your 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:43.600 gap and have that gap integrity. He comes from his 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.240 middle of the field alignment and scrapes all the way 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.960 around the outside edge to set that edge and meet 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.040 the running back there or beat the running back to 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:53.359 the spot and eventually get the tackle. He was all 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.520 over the field on Saturday's practice, so was Andrew van 0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:59.040 Ginklho had a big day. Couple of sacks. One was 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.520
