<v Speaker 1>He's got my hands in the playoffs.

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 2>What is up Dolphins? And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 2>we made it through another three day session. That's three

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 2>sessions down, nine practices in total. Day off tomorrow and

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>then we're back for a game week. And this is

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 2>the last weekend that you will experience in twenty twenty four,

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>sans the bye week without a Miami Dolphins football game.

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Today we heard from Mike McDaniel, QB one to a

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 2>tonguea by Loa, and Devon eight Chan. Another day of

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>trading blows, the tight ends getting involved in a big way,

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.759
<v Speaker 2>a game winning drive with some tempo, a big day

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 2>for the linebackers and the interior offensive line. All of

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>that and a whole bunch of practice notes from the

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Baptist Hill Studios inside the Baptist Hell Trading Complex. This

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 2>is the Drive Time Podcast. You know, I think the

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>best part of doing this every single day is how

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 2>in tuned. It makes you with the team and the

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 2>content and the players and the overall operation because of

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 2>the callback ability it gives you me and how it

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 2>can reinforce things that you may be thought or at

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 2>least pontificated on back in late winter early spring, the

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>time of year where we speculate and try to formulate

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 2>what things might look like from a scheme perspective, from

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 2>a personnel usage perspective, just everything that goes in to

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 2>what you wind up seeing on the field on Sundays

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 2>in September and how it's constructed in the winter months.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 2>And one of the points that I kept making was

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>when we signed John new Smith before free agency had

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>kicked off, because he was a released player and free

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 2>to sign with any team before the new league year

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>window opened. We brought in Odell Beckham and Malik Washington,

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 2>and we brought in Jalen Wright, which is a little

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 2>bit different from this theme I'm perpetrating here, but ultimately

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>this collection of skill players that was acquired seemed to

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 2>be puzzle pieces to some of the elements. The offense

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 2>was I don't want to say lacking, but where there

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>was room for growth from a season to go because

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>as you hear, you'll hear coach, You'll hear two of

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>every player will say like, even in this league, Tylery

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>excid if you can score or you can get up

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 2>to two thousand yards or close to it, and that

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 2>still doesn't mean you are perfect and you can still

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 2>find ways to get better. I mean, you know how

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 2>far have we come?

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:50.119
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Because I remember the two thousand and two or twenty

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>two offseason where it was like, the Dolphins haven't had

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 2>a top ten offense in twenty five years. Can Tyreek

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Hill and Mike McDaniel finally change that? And now we've

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 2>done it two years in a row, including being the

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>number one offense in the NFL last season. And for

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 2>a guy that used to get drafted highly and pick

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>up football games for one the way I catch a football,

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 2>but for number two, because I was the offensive coordinator

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 2>in Sandlott Football and drew up cool plays which I

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 2>know kind of goes against the s of Sam lat football,

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>but all I wanted to do was call plays back then.

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I freaking love offense. And for a young kid to

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>watch Chad Henny and John Beck and Khleil Lemon and

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Gus Farrott and Sage Rosenfels and Matt Moore and Tyler

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Thigpin and Dante Culpepper and it just was rough, right,

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 2>But now you finally have one of the top offenses,

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 2>and you still thirst for more as you compete for

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the ultimate prize. And what a treat it is, what

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>a payoff it is, what an earned right it is

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>to watch to Tyreek and Waddle in this entire operation

0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 2>go after twenty five years of rather futile offense of production.

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 2>And so today we got two sound bites, actually let's

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and call it three, two from McDaniel, one

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 2>from Tua Toungovailoa that I think really illustrates that point.

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>And look, I'm far from the only one to speculate

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.719
<v Speaker 2>that this could be the thinking just based upon the

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 2>tape and the opportunities the tape showed help. McDaniel has

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 2>said as much at various points throughout the offseason. And

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 2>before we get to those sound bites, I want to

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 2>tell you why it was especially relevant on this Saturday,

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.720
<v Speaker 2>because the last period of practice was a situational drill

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 2>end of Game one five on the game clock down

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 2>by four points, two timeouts in your pocket, a ball

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 2>on the minus thirty five yard line and Tua took

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>the offense down the field for a touchdown, leaving eighteen

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>seconds left for the Buffalo Bills. Let's call them U

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>to try to win the game at the end, And

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>that included a third down conversion and fourth down conversion

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.840
<v Speaker 2>with the game on the line. High pressure, high leverage situations.

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 2>You're trying to simulate those practice, and the offense in

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 2>those moments stepped up big. On a August the third

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 2>here from the Baptist Hill Trading Complex. The first play

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 2>of that drive was a twelve yard ripped to Sanders

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>on a little glance route that we've seen to execute

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 2>time and time again, and we saw him drill this

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>in individuals and it showed up throughout the course of

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 2>team drills as well, where his footwork to be able

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 2>to execute a fake with his feet like to the

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 2>right side of the offensive formation, which for Tua puts

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 2>his back to the left side of the formation right,

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 2>And for a left handed quarterback, that means if he

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 2>wants to throw left, he's gonna have to flip the

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 2>body one hundred and eighty degrees and get back over

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.559
<v Speaker 2>there and make that throw. And I haven't seen anybody ever.

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen a quarterback better at quickly putting himself

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 2>from a non threatening throwing position into a position where

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 2>he can rip the football and do it with high

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 2>level ball placement and accuracy. He's the best I've ever

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>seen at that. And why he was the best rpo

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 2>quarterback in college football, and why you see some of

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 2>the stuff we can do here from an offensive standpoint

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>with his ball handling and footwork and how quick it

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 2>all is. So he hits that to Brilin Sands for

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 2>twelve yards to get the drive going, and then they

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 2>got to the line. And here's what really got me

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>fired up. And you guys might hear me on the

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 2>press conferences asking players about tempo, and they didn't really

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.799
<v Speaker 2>talk about it, but I was impressed by how quick

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the tempo was. It was the fastest time from end

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 2>of play to the next play snap I've seen in

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 2>this iteration of Dolphins football. Because I know, like even

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 2>the Baltimore game from two years ago, that slow, methodical drive,

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 2>like call all time out, go faster, like they knew

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.839
<v Speaker 2>what they were doing. They milked the clock. But the

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>ability to get to the lion of scrimmage, and we

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 2>know this offense is verb heavy, right, it's syllable heavy

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 2>in the play calls. I'm excited to see how that

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 2>plays out as the year approaches, because I think if

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 2>they can go more tempo and have a better quicker

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 2>streamline calls in certain situations, it's going to reduce penalties,

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 2>it's going to give you more plays. It has me excited.

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>So they get to the line of scrimmage and they

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 2>throw this little dump off to John new Smith after

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Tua kind of had some wiggle and move in the pocket,

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>which was a theme again today, and he dumps it

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 2>off to John neuw Smith, who didn't really have the angle,

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 2>but he still won the corner and got out of

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 2>bounds for six yards where it looked like it was

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna be like two yards, and tackled inbounds. And this

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 2>prompted this, yeah, that you could hear from Mike McDaniel,

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 2>like one hundred yards away. We could hear that up

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>in the stands, and I think you're going to hear

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 2>that on a micd up episode of Mike McDaniel here,

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 2>dropping either today or sometime this weekend. He says it

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot, but I heard it on this one, and

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 2>he loved the run from John U Smith. I think

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 2>he loved it so much. On the second and four play,

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 2>they throw him anow a now screen catch rock throw,

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 2>get the ball out there, and this time the cornerback

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 2>overplayed the outside and so John U jab steps outside

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 2>and cuts back across his face and leaves him in

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 2>the dust and runs into a safety for an eight

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 2>yard completion and tackle for a first down, which that

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 2>allows you to get into the timeouts. You've now chewed up,

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, twenty five yards of field position, and you've

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 2>changed the dynamic of how this drive can play out

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 2>as far as your ability to go tempo or not

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 2>to run the ball, to throw the ball. Getting those

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 2>quick yards and putting the ball in plus territory. That

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 2>quickly put Miami in an advantageous situation where a first

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and ten from the forty yard line with fifty three

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>seconds or no check that it was a minute in

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 2>three seconds and a time out in pocket. So that

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>was impressive. And then the defense kind of got into

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 2>the bag with what we've seen all week long here

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 2>with the pressures and stunts and different coverage principles and

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>bluff blitzes and all that stuff. They run this three

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 2>man stunt and Austin Jackson picks it up beautifully where

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 2>he kind of sorted through the trash and stayed on

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 2>his you know, tight to his guard and then you know,

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 2>regained depth off the edge and they just all picked

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 2>it up really well with Austin Liam and Aaron Brewer

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 2>and Tua once again on this play. It's it wasn't

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 2>pressure immediately, but the coverage was pretty good and so

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 2>he wiggles around more pressure and gets this dump off

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 2>to a Chan for seven yards, and then they go

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 2>a second and four and he throws back to eight

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Chan and he drops this pass. There's a third and

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 2>four and now we have a big time play we

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>have to convert on even though we know we have

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 2>fourth down because of this game situation. But this play

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 2>was really impressive, and I'll tell you about it later

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>because I want to get to the main point here

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 2>where Tua ripped it to Malik Washington for twenty yards

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:24.719
<v Speaker 2>in a first down. I'll come back to that in

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 2>a second. The first and ten play from the plus

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.200
<v Speaker 2>fourteen yard lines a three yard eight Chan reception. Timeout

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 2>tempo has been so quick they now have like thirty

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 2>nine seconds but no timeouts for a second and seven

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 2>from the plus eleven, so that's a good spot to

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.840
<v Speaker 2>be in. And on the second and seven play, they

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 2>pick up six yards on a dump off to eight

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Chan that creates a third and one at the plus

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 2>five as a Chan got out of bounds on the play,

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 2>and once again Tua had to escape to make this

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 2>throw happen. In all these plays, I guarantee you there's

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 2>going to be beat writers and reports that tell you

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 2>that he was sacked on those I promise you it was.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>And double check with Kyle Krabs and Al f Artiego

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 2>from the three Yards per Carry Unlockdown Dolphins podcast, because

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I watched practice with those guys today only and we

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>were all in agreeance. And those are two of the

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>guys that I think you know taking these practices as

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>well as anybody else. So I promise you they were

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 2>not sacks. So now it's third and one at the

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.439
<v Speaker 2>plus five yard line, and this is where you're gonna

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.559
<v Speaker 2>get mad, and I kind of am with you on it.

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 2>They throw a fade to Devon h Chan and it

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 2>goes out of bounce. So now it's fourth and one

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 2>from the plus five and they throw the exact same

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 2>play to a Chan that they threw to Tyreek in

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 2>the Dallas game on that critical third down conversion, and

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 2>he winds up scoring a touchdown, not just a first down,

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 2>but a touchdown, working behind blocks of Kendall Lamb and

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Rob Jones. So they go down convert eighteen seconds left

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 2>from the clock. You just won the game. Very impressive

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 2>of some tempo, some running back, some tight end playing

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 2>off the overplay and on nine plays all passes. Five

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 2>of those to eight Chan, two to John new Smith.

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.080
<v Speaker 2>Take what the defense gives you, right, And by the way,

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>did you know this? Tyreek wasn't in that drive and

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 2>nor was Jalen Waddle. So game winning drive without wreaking Wattle.

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 2>That's why you can pay the guy fifty three million

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 2>bucks a year. Not bad, But the reason I wanted

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.679
<v Speaker 2>to emphasize this drive is the aforementioned other options in

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.199
<v Speaker 2>the passing game, right the eligibles, but also a handful

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 2>of these plays were coming from Tua, creating beyond his

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 2>original hitch up in the pocket, which I continue to

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 2>see as a massive improvement in his game from a

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>year ago. He looks very comfortable climbing cutting, you know,

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 2>making a decision to not step up if the middle

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 2>of the pocket is closed, and trying to find avenues

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 2>left or right, and then impressing the lion of scrimmage

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 2>with urgency and sprinting speed, but also the knowledge for

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 2>where I can pull up at the line and be

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>way more dangerous with the throw than I can with

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.079
<v Speaker 2>the run. In fact, one of those completions to e

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Chan came as a result of him pressing the line

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.199
<v Speaker 2>of scrimmage and dumping it off to h Chan. Give

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 2>it to him. Don't you don't run the ball if

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 2>you have h Chan give it to him. And then

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 2>comes the general concept here that I'm trying to communicate

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.959
<v Speaker 2>with y'all, this idea of overplay and where there are

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 2>other options in the passing game. I refer to this

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 2>all the time, especially you know, with Kyle Krabs here

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>with me, because we watched that Titans tape together at

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 2>one point last year and tried to figure out what

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the hell the issue was and what is the solve

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 2>to it. And the issue was defenses would sort of

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 2>discount a portion of the field on certain looks where

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 2>they kind of gambled the Dolphins wouldn't throw and in

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 2>that game, they just wouldn't go to the backside out

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 2>route that was kind of there all night. So they

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.079
<v Speaker 2>defensively would neglect that and then use that corner back

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 2>to that side and insert him as a quasi weak

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 2>side linebacker to fit the run game and give another

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 2>hat in the gaps in the running game and just gamble.

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to throw the ball to the backside

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>out And that second throw to John new Smith is

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 2>exactly what that was. We have him in this y

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>isso which go back to the early Mike Kasiki days

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.719
<v Speaker 2>back with Ryan Tannehill and Adam Gaze or don't you

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 2>probably don't want to do that either. And I see

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>all this attention that's you know, given to the field

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 2>upside of the formation, the you know, wider side of

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 2>the field with where you would have the combination of

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 2>wreak and waddle where you can stack those guys, And

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 2>that's going to cause a lot more attention on that

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 2>portion of the field than what you would get from

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 2>John hu Smith on the backside. Why I soow, And

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 2>so let's go ahead and force this backside corner from

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 2>this look, who's peeking inside at the run game or

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 2>possibly crossing routes from the front side make him tackle

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 2>John hu Smith one on one in space. We didn't

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 2>have that option last We didn't have a big, bruising

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 2>guy that could run after the catch and make you

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 2>miss an open space with also enough speed to execute

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 2>a route down the field. They probably won't make that tackle,

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.840
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't. And John who got on the outside

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.079
<v Speaker 2>shoulder and got out of bounds than that second one

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 2>the corner trying to protect the sidelines. So he turns

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 2>it up and makes it an even bigger gain. Something

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 2>that you can do when you have that tight end

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 2>or that that timeout, I should say in your pocket.

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 2>So you spend you know, all week. What did wink

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Martin Dell say that year that he didn't sleep at

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.599
<v Speaker 2>all during the Giants and Dolphins game week because he

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 2>was trying to figure out how to get ready for

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 2>this offense with Tyreek and Wadall and Tua. So if

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 2>you spend your whole week preparing for that, what do

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 2>you do when we nickel and dine you down the

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 2>field with our backs, our tight ends and our slot receivers.

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean they're productive if they are productive as their

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 2>resumes in the past would suggest they could be. That's

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot to contend with man and so we'll go

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 2>ahead and go to Tua here first, who talked about

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>that drive.

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, I love Devon.

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 4>Last year he showed a lot of capabilities of what

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 4>he could do for us offensively, from the backfield, going out,

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 4>running routes, in the slot, all of that. So it

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 4>wasn't new to me, you know, being able to see

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 4>what he could do, but it was.

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 3>It was really cool getting him involved.

0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 4>And that's that's sort of what the defense gave us

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 4>with those throws to him today. So trust him and

0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, asked him to make some place for.

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Us today, took what the the defense gave him. I

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 2>think that's such a powerful quote there, a powerful approach

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 2>when you have the best player in the National Football League.

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Congratulations Tyreek. More on that in a moment, and a

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 2>guy that I think is like, I don't know, the

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 2>sixth best receiver in the NFL. I think Waddle is

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:15.800
<v Speaker 2>like five six, seven to eight range. That's where I

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 2>put him. When you have those two guys and you

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 2>take what the defense gives you, which is probably not

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 2>those two guys. And so we go back here to

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 2>coach McDaniel from this morning, who talked about that tight

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 2>end room and how it was viewed as coming into

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 2>the offseason as an area of opportunity for this offense

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 2>to get better.

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 5>I think there was an opportunity to get more production

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 5>from that room from an emphasis standpoint. What I mean

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 5>by that is, you know, the types of plays were running,

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 5>the types of things we're asking people to do. You know,

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 5>you're always looking at getting better and improving, and I

0:15:56.080 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 5>think one one way for us offense offensively is really

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 5>to add an eligible in the past game that's extremely

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 5>important in the run game, and that's the tight end position,

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 5>so that you know, you don't just say that to

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 5>do that, that takes an off season of emphasis of

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 5>working the craft and techniques.

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 3>And you know, if we're trying to.

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 5>Expand anybody's role, that they they themselves have to expand

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 5>what they're really good at. I think that the room's

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 5>done a great job of that, and I think that

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 5>that's exciting for us because there's a lot of attention

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 5>paid to some other players on the field that anytime

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 5>there's over attention, one way that leaves a little vulnerability

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 5>in the defense and another.

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So John who made a bunch of plays today and

0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 2>it looks like the guy that was in Atlanta last

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.520
<v Speaker 2>year to me on tape, A plus starter and the

0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:04.679
<v Speaker 2>ability to impact the game as a blocker, which you

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.679
<v Speaker 2>heard McDaniel touch on there. It's it kind of changes

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the equation when you have a guy that can factor

0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.680
<v Speaker 2>into the pass blocking scheme and the run blocking scheme,

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 2>but also be ineligible that can threaten down the field

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 2>for you. And speaking of that, I think Julian Hill

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 2>has taken perhaps the largest stride from a player year

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.199
<v Speaker 2>to year from last year. I liked his work as

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.880
<v Speaker 2>a primary blocker. Last year he was kind of limited

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.199
<v Speaker 2>in his capacity with that regard, But the receptions are

0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 2>starting to pile up and the blocking looks way better.

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 2>It was already really good. I saw him crack a

0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 2>linebacker today. I saw him take out a defensive tackle

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 2>on a wham block. I saw him bust some chops

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.879
<v Speaker 2>as a ball carrier on a screen throw. To me,

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I think he might be tied into right now the

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.560
<v Speaker 2>way I'd stack it. In fact, Travis Gowe ahead and

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 2>stack him up. I would go like this right now,

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 2>John new Smith, Julian Hill, Durham Smyth, and then tanner'

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 2>connor drops a ball every day and I'm over it.

0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 2>And Jody Fortson has had a camp that I will

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 2>and expecting in the wrong way. I thought he was

0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be a lot more productive than he has been.

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 2>So that's how I'd stacked that room. And then Rouchie

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:07.639
<v Speaker 2>would be the sixth tight end there. And that was

0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 2>a follow up the tight end answer there from McDaniel

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 2>to a great question from the great Kyle Krabs who

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 2>asked coach about the diversity of the playbook. You get

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.120
<v Speaker 2>from having such a melting pot of talent in that

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 2>tight end room plus one of the game's most dynamic

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.000
<v Speaker 2>fullbacks in alec Ingold.

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 5>That's what you're looking for in those positions because they're

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.919
<v Speaker 5>inherent in those roles are flexibility. You're part of the

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:37.120
<v Speaker 5>blocking core, you're part of the receiving route tree. When

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 5>I tell you the most offensively, the most challenging position

0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:48.119
<v Speaker 5>each and every week to learn the plan of attack

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.720
<v Speaker 5>is in that f position, which is both tight ends

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.120
<v Speaker 5>and fullbacks, and the versatility of that room.

0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 3>Turn the page.

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:02.800
<v Speaker 5>There's the versatility of your offense and I think that

0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 5>role is ever expanding based upon.

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, what the defense presents. I think.

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 5>That room collectively has really attacked the offseason from both

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:24.480
<v Speaker 5>a run game and a pass game standpoint. And when

0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:30.400
<v Speaker 5>you do that, you make everyone better because you add

0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:34.840
<v Speaker 5>another eligible in the pass game and you add another

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:38.240
<v Speaker 5>offensive lineman in the run game all at the same time.

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Man, I just loved, love, love, love that quote about

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.399
<v Speaker 2>if you want to see how versa ale your offense is,

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.560
<v Speaker 2>look at how versatile your tight ends are. And look

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:47.879
<v Speaker 2>at this and think about that Greg Olsen comment from

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.239
<v Speaker 2>the Dallas game last year when he talked about the

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.240
<v Speaker 2>production meeting that he had with Mike McDaniel, and he

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.119
<v Speaker 2>was like, I love your offense, coach, but where's the

0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.600
<v Speaker 2>tight end And he was like, Mike said, that's coming

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 2>next year. We should listen to this guy little more often.

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:04.199
<v Speaker 2>I think as a general Cognizani, I mean think about that.

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Think about the improvements from year one to year two

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 2>in this offense. The run game got a lot better,

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 2>There was better connectivity in the deep passing game. Two

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.479
<v Speaker 2>was deep shots at Tyreek were more on the upfield

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 2>shoulder opposed to the back side shoulder. Just overall efficiency.

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Why should we not expect another step? I don't know.

0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 2>This is one of the top guys, maybe the top

0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:27.439
<v Speaker 2>guy in terms of cutting edge offensive architecture, and he

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 2>knows this team better than anybody else in the world,

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:31.560
<v Speaker 2>and we're not gonna trust him. I'm not saying like

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 2>all of you feel that way, but there's discrepancy out

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 2>there on social media. I don't know. It seems less

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 2>than smart to me to not trust this guy with

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 2>how to best approach this offense going forward. I see

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 2>it play out every single day.

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 3>Here.

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and conclude here the first segment. We're

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:49.919
<v Speaker 2>gonna come back on the other side and get to

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Devon h Chan and more audio here from TUA on

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 2>that drive all that next to Draft Time podcast, your

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 2>host Travis Wingfield brought to you by Auto Nation. All right,

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I want to go back to this Devon eighth Chan

0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.120
<v Speaker 2>SoundBite here when he was asked because of all those

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>damn catches he had, how natural do you feel as

0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 2>a wide receiver? I feel naturally because, like I said,

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.840
<v Speaker 2>it's not my first time. I'll see if I was new,

0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:14.959
<v Speaker 2>like you know, Okay, this is like kind of new

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:15.159
<v Speaker 2>to me.

0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 5>Like me outside, but I feel like, you know, it's

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 5>something I've been doing for years, so it comes pretty natural.

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Long and then one more SoundBite here from Tua on

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.159
<v Speaker 2>that drive. Just how happy with you with were you

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.000
<v Speaker 2>with the fact that that drive ended up on the

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 2>end zone? Here's QB one.

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:31.040
<v Speaker 4>I was happy anytime we're able to finish in the

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 4>N zone against our defense.

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 3>We want to make it as competitive.

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.440
<v Speaker 4>As possible for those guys as much as they want

0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 4>to make it competitive for us. And you know, it

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 4>was a good day overall. I think we were able

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.160
<v Speaker 4>to trade blows. It was a good back and forth day.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:48.760
<v Speaker 4>So the only thing that matters is how you come

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:53.160
<v Speaker 4>the next day. So we'll see how how we all

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.760
<v Speaker 4>regroup as an offense, as a defense collectively, and as

0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.159
<v Speaker 4>we come out, you know, we'll see who has the

0:21:59.160 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 4>better day.

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and put a bow on the day

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 2>of QB one. But first begin that portion of the

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:08.159
<v Speaker 2>podcast with his reaction to Tyreek Hill being named the

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.439
<v Speaker 2>number one player in the National Football League.

0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Man that that's my dog. That's my dog. Oh my gosh,

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he was excited. We all we all were

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:18.680
<v Speaker 3>in a group chat.

0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 4>We all texted him Jayalen Ramsey, Toront Armstead raheem mostered,

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.240
<v Speaker 4>uh Jaylen Wado, like we were just all congratulating him.

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 4>There's some funny, uh funny things that we threw in

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 4>there just to you know, give him, give him a

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 4>hard time, but for the most part, sorry, I'll pay

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:43.400
<v Speaker 4>for it. But for the most part that I mean

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 4>that that was that was unbelievable to have a teammate

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:50.359
<v Speaker 4>like that, I mean, voted just best in the league.

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 4>That I mean, it doesn't get better than that.

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Just really cool to see. And as you've you know,

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 2>seen the reports by now, Tyreek and the Dolphins have

0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:02.080
<v Speaker 2>a new contract term agreement in place to increase his

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 2>guarantee totals. And my favorite part is just how amicable

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing seems to have been. You know, how

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Tyreek has approached it with such positivity. How the Dolphins

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:12.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, are doing right by their guys. You know,

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 2>he wanted more money and reflect his production. He got it,

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:17.720
<v Speaker 2>or more guarantee money, I should say. And what better

0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 2>way to have a happy cheetah than to have him

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:21.920
<v Speaker 2>get the number one player for the first time ever

0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>by a wide receiver. This new contract and all these

0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 2>good vibes. I mean, Wattle's done, Two was done, Riek

0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 2>is done, cap Opolypse is here.

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Those contracts run at a minimum through the twenty twenty

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:35.000
<v Speaker 2>sixth season, with twoas going all the way through twenty

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight. So the band is all here and accounted

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 2>for for the foreseeable future. And I don't know about you,

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:42.840
<v Speaker 2>but I am not interested in going back to the

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:46.640
<v Speaker 2>days before having the most dangerous trio of passing game

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 2>players in the damn game. Good times. All right, A

0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:51.720
<v Speaker 2>final few two notes here, and I just want to

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:55.200
<v Speaker 2>reiterate the elusiveness really stands out to me. Also wanted

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 2>to point how good he's seeing it right now, because

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:00.399
<v Speaker 2>going back to the Malik Washington throw that I've promised

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:03.879
<v Speaker 2>more commentary on, you could see him working the front

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:06.959
<v Speaker 2>side read on that play, and as he picked up

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.160
<v Speaker 2>information from the front side, I believe that it informed

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 2>him on what he had backside because as you saw

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 2>his helmet flip back to the backside, which is how

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:18.560
<v Speaker 2>you view where his eyes are going, he also began

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 2>his throwing motion simultaneously, so you can glean from what

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:24.680
<v Speaker 2>you have from the front side defense to what the

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:26.600
<v Speaker 2>backside will give you, and then you have to trust

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.359
<v Speaker 2>your receiver, which his rookie receiver earned that trust on

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:33.240
<v Speaker 2>this throw, a cool full field progression rip to his

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 2>rookie receiver for a conversion on third down on a

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 2>game winning drive. It's big time stuff man. Back to

0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 2>eight Chan. We know what he offers, We've seen it

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 2>play out in a full season, but he just continues

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:46.040
<v Speaker 2>to make plays in a wider range of ways, and

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 2>off of that, like gosh, this entire backfield has been

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:51.720
<v Speaker 2>productive all camp long. Raheem has a couple of those

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:55.159
<v Speaker 2>vintage Raheem runs each day. Jeff Wilson's had an awesome

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>camp so far, and quite frankly, I don't think Jalen

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Wright is out of the conversation for the most impressive

0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 2>back in all of training camp. Every damn day he

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:07.200
<v Speaker 2>hits those holes fast, with conviction and zero hesitation. He's

0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:10.920
<v Speaker 2>not getting stuffed, he's pushing piles, he's finding the end zone.

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I think he has fantastic vision between the tackles that

0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 2>produces this lightning fast decision making on top of lightning

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 2>fast track speed. And you know we were searching for

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 2>an inside zone counter to the wide zone stretch stuff

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:29.480
<v Speaker 2>last year which I think didn't wasn't available to this offense.

0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I think this is the guy for just that he's

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:34.560
<v Speaker 2>also a mid low red zone fixture. He's getting all

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:36.520
<v Speaker 2>kinds of carries down there, and a Chan is a

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:38.440
<v Speaker 2>guy that you probably don't want to load up three

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred touches on. So I think if you get more

0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 2>two hundred to fifty range from him, dog geez rick,

0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:45.920
<v Speaker 2>do we think that maybe that's why we drafted Jalen

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Right to reduce the overall workload of Devon eight Chan

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and you know, supplement raheem Moster and then if you

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:55.120
<v Speaker 2>lose one guy, that solves the problem in itself, even

0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 2>though we already have two top tier backs. I think

0:25:57.240 --> 0:25:59.040
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be a big factor this year. Very

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:02.359
<v Speaker 2>impressed so far with Jalen Wright. Last thing from the

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:06.639
<v Speaker 2>offensive perspective before extra points, Odell was busting his butt

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 2>out there with conditioning.

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Today.

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 2>He looks pretty good to me, and Tua was asked

0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:13.200
<v Speaker 2>about what he needs or when he needs rather Odell

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 2>to get back for them to formulate the required chemistry

0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:17.919
<v Speaker 2>in order to be impactful.

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:20.960
<v Speaker 4>I've been able to talk with oh a lot off

0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:24.600
<v Speaker 4>the field. You know, I think the main focus for

0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:29.679
<v Speaker 4>me and I think for oh is we communicate about,

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, okay, how you got to study the playbook,

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 4>how how I studied, how.

0:26:33.680 --> 0:26:34.879
<v Speaker 3>It helped me and whatnot.

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 4>But the most important thing is, like he has to

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 4>take care of himself, like he has to do all

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:44.480
<v Speaker 4>the things necessary with Kyle, with with Boone, with Troy,

0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 4>with all those guys, to do everything he can to

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:48.920
<v Speaker 4>get back on the field to help us. And then

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:51.640
<v Speaker 4>from there then we can start, you know, getting into

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 4>all right, the feel of how these plays are, you know,

0:26:56.359 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 4>the feel of space within this offense, all of that.

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Also that Odell's one of the best people he's ever met.

0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 2>And not that my experience is anything close or comparable,

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 2>but I can tell you when I met Odell that

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 2>day we had him in here for the podcast, he

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:13.399
<v Speaker 2>made a great impression on the podcaster, on the video team,

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:16.960
<v Speaker 2>on the custodial staff, just pleasant, cordial, and respectful to

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 2>every human being he met that day. And you know

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:21.400
<v Speaker 2>what they say, the true test of character is how

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:23.240
<v Speaker 2>you treat people that you don't have to give the

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 2>time of day two, Like we don't control Odell's money

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:28.080
<v Speaker 2>or what he can and can't do at all, Like

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:30.000
<v Speaker 2>he can tell us to piss off if he wants to,

0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:32.159
<v Speaker 2>but he didn't do that, and he seems to, you know,

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:34.800
<v Speaker 2>really be true to a guy that treats everybody with

0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 2>a similar level of respect and to a test to that.

0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's do a couple more themes here before getting to

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 2>extra points and the rest of the notes. So Jalen

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:44.199
<v Speaker 2>Ramsey's kind of a dude, right, I think we've kind

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:46.560
<v Speaker 2>of established that by this point. Tua said as much.

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 2>When I asked him, I said, can you describe the

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 2>impact of having Ramsey out here when last year he

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:53.520
<v Speaker 2>only got one and a half practices in before that

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:56.760
<v Speaker 2>damn injury. Tua was succinct in his answer.

0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:01.080
<v Speaker 4>Him, him, that's my dog.

0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 3>That's my dog. Like he him, that's that's Jaylen Ramsey. Him. Man,

0:28:06.440 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 3>he'll let you know too. He'll let you know too.

0:28:09.080 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean enough said right. I do want to go

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:13.840
<v Speaker 2>to McDaniel, who spoiled the Orange Jersey for us today

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:16.359
<v Speaker 2>in his press conference, which, by the way, our first

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:19.439
<v Speaker 2>pick from the top guy in the Orange Jersey. So

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 2>this is our third time on the podcast and nine

0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 2>days having the guy on the list, but the first

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 2>time getting the pick right. So yes. McDaniel was asked

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:32.120
<v Speaker 2>about filling the void by Christian Wilkins with energy and leadership,

0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 2>and he gave us this lengthy answer about how the

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 2>locker room and the guys that choose to dictate the

0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:40.480
<v Speaker 2>terms are the ones that can you know, supplant that role.

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:43.160
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think you know, every team is unique to

0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 5>its own and that's a really special part of what's

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:50.960
<v Speaker 5>going on right now. You know that you can get

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:55.600
<v Speaker 5>lost in the idea of there's no opponent, but you

0:28:55.680 --> 0:29:00.120
<v Speaker 5>are creating in training camp what the each opponent and

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 5>it we'll see, you're creating your your team's identity and

0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:09.400
<v Speaker 5>it's unique to a lot of varied individuals. And in

0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 5>this era, it's very rare to have over fifty percent

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:19.480
<v Speaker 5>of returning players on your on your ninety roster when

0:29:19.480 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 5>when you're in training camp, so it's a it's a

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:26.520
<v Speaker 5>new team and your and your eyes are wide open

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 5>to see what they want to be and how they're

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 5>going to be it, you know, and you have different

0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 5>people step up that that decide that their voice is

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:41.960
<v Speaker 5>going to be a dictating factor, uh in the direction

0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:46.800
<v Speaker 5>you're going. So for instance we have. Do you guys

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:49.240
<v Speaker 5>know who the orange jersey is today?

0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Guys O Jalen Ramsey. Okay, Uh, he he's He's a

0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 3>He's a player that's.

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:04.160
<v Speaker 5>Decided that he wants to dictate the terms. There's uh,

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, we there's guys that have been on the

0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 5>roster that are developing, just as I talk about Tyreek developing,

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:18.520
<v Speaker 5>like Zach Seeler and Javon Holland are are are making

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 5>huge you know, it's just they're in a different year

0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:28.480
<v Speaker 5>that the the more confidence you get as leaders, the

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 5>more you develop, the more that the the team takes

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 5>its own identity on every day at practice. One of

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 5>the reasons we're getting such good work is the players

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 5>are are determining what they want their team to be like.

0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 5>And you know, I yesterday it was Jalen Ramsey that

0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 5>was dictating the terms. He has an orange jersey today.

0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 5>Quite honestly, Uh, with the competitive team that we have,

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 5>I have no idea who's going to be that guy today.

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 3>But you know, as I've.

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:08.160
<v Speaker 5>Learned in the last four or five practices, there's a

0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:12.640
<v Speaker 5>lot of guys that want to be the reason that

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:14.479
<v Speaker 5>we that we succeed.

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 2>And man, Jalien made an impact again from the onset

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:19.280
<v Speaker 2>and again doing it in the running game by an

0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:24.160
<v Speaker 2>absolute cracker of a hit on alec Ingold before getting

0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 2>to Devon a chan along with David Long for a loss.

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 2>And Long was all over the field today and he

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 2>again comes off the play gesturing to the sideline pointing

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:34.240
<v Speaker 2>to the grounds. Have to say you better not try

0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 2>five side again. And speaking of David Long, what a

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 2>day for the linebackers. Man, he was causing collisions like

0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:42.200
<v Speaker 2>he has wont to do. Zeke Vandenberg played super quick

0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 2>and physical. I love the way he scrapes and stays

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:46.200
<v Speaker 2>tight to the block so that he can not get

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:48.520
<v Speaker 2>exposed and get himself caught on the block. I thought

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Duke Riley had his best day, flying around all over

0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the place, the hair flowing beautifully frequently in the backfield.

0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:56.080
<v Speaker 2>And I thought Channing Tendall had the best day I've

0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.160
<v Speaker 2>seen him have so far. And it was funny because

0:31:58.160 --> 0:32:00.040
<v Speaker 2>I told Kyle right before he made a playoff, I

0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 2>was like, I don't know if it's going to happen

0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>for Channing Man we were talking about linebacker depth chart.

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I think I have to keep Zach and

0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 2>that might mean, you know, so long to channing. But

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 2>then he went off and made like eight plays the

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:13.320
<v Speaker 2>rest of practice. He played on a downhill track all

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 2>day and was there with the cavalry for a handful

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 2>of stops at or around the line of scrimmage. And

0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 2>of course this happens because of plays on the defensive tackles.

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, Zach Stealler was an absolute minest today, took

0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 2>on blocks, got off a couple times for some plays

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 2>that he made. He and tr Tart I thought played

0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:31.600
<v Speaker 2>really nicely together on the interior inside helping those linebackers

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:35.800
<v Speaker 2>get those runs into the backfield. Okay, last break right there,

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Come back and do segment three and land this plane

0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:40.600
<v Speaker 2>with a couple more soundbites I think I have, and

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:43.600
<v Speaker 2>then we'll also do extra points. That's next Draft Time

0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:47.040
<v Speaker 2>podcast to your host, Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Autoation.

0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I heard Mike McDaniel allude to this, and I heard

0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Twua talk about it three or four times in his

0:32:57.040 --> 0:33:00.520
<v Speaker 2>press conference on Santayday about how hard they want to

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 2>make it on each other from an offense and defense perspective,

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 2>and this emphasis to make these days the hardest they'll

0:33:07.200 --> 0:33:10.959
<v Speaker 2>see all year long how they want to simulate trash

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 2>talk and urgency and this chirping and creating pressure with

0:33:15.080 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 2>all of that to hopefully best simulate game like situations

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 2>that gives you the sense of real in game pressure

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:25.280
<v Speaker 2>and how to come through that pressure and high leverage

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 2>situations for your teammates to go win football games in

0:33:28.600 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 2>critical moments. And as an observer, it just I keep

0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:36.280
<v Speaker 2>thinking about this because McDaniel is so great at assessing

0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 2>what went wrong and emphasizing it in the next year,

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:42.520
<v Speaker 2>and also obviously honing in on the things that you

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 2>do well. But I just feel like under this regime,

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:46.480
<v Speaker 2>we're never going to bang our head into a wall

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:49.920
<v Speaker 2>with like, oh, well that was bad, Well maybe it'll

0:33:49.920 --> 0:33:51.640
<v Speaker 2>be better next year. Like they're always gonna find ways

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to attack it and address it head on. And I

0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 2>love that. And it seems like this this year, it's

0:33:57.320 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 2>about like going one and six against playoff teams, right

0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:02.480
<v Speaker 2>where that record was last year. Let's make it hard,

0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 2>let's make those moments seem like the norm for us.

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:09.040
<v Speaker 2>And it seems like one win, one unit wins, not

0:34:09.200 --> 0:34:10.960
<v Speaker 2>just the day, but like every other play, it goes

0:34:11.000 --> 0:34:13.000
<v Speaker 2>back and forth and so while you have all these

0:34:13.040 --> 0:34:16.520
<v Speaker 2>interior defenders making plays, I had good interior surge and

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:19.359
<v Speaker 2>a handful of the plays that did work, particularly some

0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:21.880
<v Speaker 2>of those red zone runs and conversions that were in

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:25.120
<v Speaker 2>full field drives. I thought Aaron Brewer was excellent today

0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 2>and really all week long. He ever since snap again

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 2>or whatever I want to call it, like, he's been fantastic.

0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:34.200
<v Speaker 2>His quickness shows up on wide runs obviously, but his

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:36.799
<v Speaker 2>ability to get off the snap and then wall off

0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:39.719
<v Speaker 2>the a gap defender or the you know, the zero

0:34:39.760 --> 0:34:42.319
<v Speaker 2>or the one technique and hold that gap, to me,

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:44.600
<v Speaker 2>that's been a big factor on some of those explosive,

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:48.280
<v Speaker 2>impressive Jalen Wright touchdown runs. I think that he's reading

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:50.760
<v Speaker 2>the butt of fifty five, you know, see butt cut.

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:54.279
<v Speaker 2>It's the old way of football teaching, and quickly making

0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:58.040
<v Speaker 2>his decisions based upon you know, Brewer's ability to dig

0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:01.279
<v Speaker 2>out that nose tackle or one technique. I thought Rob

0:35:01.360 --> 0:35:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Jones was again very good today, and I thought Austin

0:35:05.280 --> 0:35:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Jackson was awesome both in one on one situations as

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:10.840
<v Speaker 2>well as working through games and different things the defensive

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 2>line through with these guys from a rush standpoint, his

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 2>mental aptitude is such a benefit to this offense. It's

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 2>like young Trn in some ways with how he sees

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:20.759
<v Speaker 2>the game. I thought Patrick Paul had a really good

0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:23.680
<v Speaker 2>day today. I thought Kendall Lamb had one of his

0:35:23.680 --> 0:35:26.680
<v Speaker 2>best days. I thought Emmanuel Ogba had another very solid day.

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:29.120
<v Speaker 2>The one time I saw Austin give ground, it was

0:35:29.160 --> 0:35:32.120
<v Speaker 2>a nice swipe or cross face from Emmanuel Ogba. I

0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:34.239
<v Speaker 2>thought Mike White had his best day. And at the

0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 2>same time, I thought Scaler Thompson kind of had a

0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 2>revert back to previous ways, So maybe some closer competition there,

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.840
<v Speaker 2>which by so far I think Scaler has been the

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:47.360
<v Speaker 2>second best quarterback in camp. Braylen Sanders has put together

0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:49.040
<v Speaker 2>a good string of practices here, made a couple of

0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:51.680
<v Speaker 2>plays today and then two more notes just on things

0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:54.839
<v Speaker 2>that I'm not ready to draw final conclusions on because

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 2>that's disingenuous to the process. But don't I don't think

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the Leam Eikenberg thing is happening, just on my take

0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:03.560
<v Speaker 2>from today. And then Jack Driscoll at center also is

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:05.840
<v Speaker 2>not my favorite thing in the world. Maybe guard, definitely

0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 2>not tackle, but maybe at guard. But it just hasn't

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:09.640
<v Speaker 2>really clicked for those two guys. For me so far,

0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:13.640
<v Speaker 2>my Orange Jersey predictions are Channing Tindall, number one, can

0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:16.759
<v Speaker 2>you believe that? Number two Jalen Wright, and number three

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Brewer. I don't feel good about this one, but

0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what happens on Monday. Speaking of that, tons

0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 2>of fun this week. Let's go ahead and take a

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 2>day off. I spend the day with my kids. I

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 2>haven't had a day off in like nine days now,

0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:29.600
<v Speaker 2>so looking forward to that. We'll come back on Monday

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:31.880
<v Speaker 2>and do it again, and then it's a trip south

0:36:32.040 --> 0:36:35.040
<v Speaker 2>for the Falcons. On Tuesday and Wednesday. We'll have a

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:39.080
<v Speaker 2>general takeaways from camp so far slash who to look for,

0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:41.799
<v Speaker 2>what to look for in the Friday game on the

0:36:41.840 --> 0:36:46.439
<v Speaker 2>podcast on Thursday, and then the game recap early Saturday morning,

0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:48.720
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll do something similar next week for the Bucks.
