WEBVTT - Drive Time: Patrick Paul Tape Study, Prospect Profiles with Nick Emmanwori, Derrick Harmon 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:11.800 What is up, Dolphans And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.000 I am your host Travis Wingfield, and on today's show, 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.680 with Toran's retirement official, I wanted to spend some time 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.200 watching Patrick Paul and give you an assessment on his 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:23.680 three hundred and thirty eight reps from his rookie season, 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:27.960 plus two more player prospect profiles as well look at 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.440 two more potential options at pick thirteen with South Carolina's 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.920 Nick e Man Worry and Organ's Derek Harmon to round 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.879 out our round one potential wish list from the Baptist 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.240 Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.240 This is the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:50.640 Jie so currently working on the Friday and next Monday podcast, 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.880 and I'm just kind of like realizing how quickly the 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.080 Draft is approaching and how ready I am for this 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.120 year's class. I am very excited about it because the 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.040 more I dive into Day two and Day three options, like, 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.040 there are a lot of players that I think would 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.240 make this football team better across the ten picks that 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.440 you have, and I cannot wait to share all the 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.920 information that I've kind of gathered for you guys. We're 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.280 gonna go heavy next week, the week of the draft, 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.759 will have Kyle Krabs on for his annual two part 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.440 episode and then we're there. We'll be talking about the 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.000 draft come Thursday night, breaking down that first round pick 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:23.200 wherever it might come from. 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.679 And I am fired up. As for today's show. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.640 First off, Happy Masters Week to everybody who celebrates. I 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.840 kind of wish my body had shut down last week 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.160 and I was sick for five days compared to this week, 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.160 or I should say wish it was this week compared 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.080 to last week, because that Texas Valero open just does 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.200 not quite have the same juice of Augusta. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:43.000 But I digress. 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.919 So the left tackle position pivot has some clarity following 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:49.800 the news that came down over the weekend, and I 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.640 think we start here. I think Patrick Paul could become 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:57.160 the model of how things are run in Miami if 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.440 all goes according to plan this season. And what I 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.240 mean by this is it's draft night. You're on the clock. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.200 You have all these options, some maybe for immediate impact 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.560 and betterment of the team, but not for the best 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.400 long term interest of the team. And while you're staring 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.799 down that ball of clay that fits everything that you do, 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.360 but maybe you don't have a starting spot for him 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.280 as a rookie, or perhaps there's some technique issues that 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.480 have to get ironed out, or NFL strength training. A 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.760 cornucopia of reasons why that player might not be the 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.200 best year one fit, but come year three, they're the 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.800 best potential player on the board for you. And we 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.760 can probably apply this to a decent portion of that 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.760 twenty twenty four class, right, I mean, we just just 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.959 a random aside. One of the things I appreciate most 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.200 about coach McDaniel is we get this every offseason. He 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.359 and they as a staff will assess what went wrong. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.760 They come up with a plan for how to attack it. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.840 They communicate that plan with us in the media and 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.960 as fans. Then the moves tend to track with those 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.720 comments and ideas and with coach. This year it's been 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.400 about the emphasis on draft picks, young players, free agents 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.840 off that first contract, all the things we highlighted about 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:08.680 potential ways to attack the offseason and roster building philosophies 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.720 that we had Kyle on four that I talked about 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.960 here for the Miami Dolphins heading into the season, and 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.560 for this year, it's basically been an emphasis on draft 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.880 picks and how that's the key in the current NFL 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.280 landscape for a multitude of reasons. It's always been that way, 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.920 but it's more highlighted now than ever before because of 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.560 what's happened to free agency. You're getting adequate starters, you know, 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.360 third tier players getting Tier one contracts in many respects. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.960 Jalen Wright was this way. Malik Washington kind of was 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.920 two to a lesser extent, but before December he had 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.320 ten catches. Chopp finishes a lot stronger, but he was 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.880 an impact player. So as a rookie, I don't really 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.840 include him in that group, but you get the concept. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.040 Drafted players who began to really take off after their 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.720 rookie season. We saw with Robert Hunt, who barely played 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.800 as a rookie, which I don't know if you guys 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.600 saw the back and forth with Robin and Omar on Twitter, 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.320 but hilarious gaff once again there. We saw it with 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.000 Austin Jackson in his fourth season. It goes back to 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.040 something I said in the podcast at least one hundred 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.240 times this year, over a thousand or I should say 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.640 over one thousand episodes over five years. The best way 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.040 for teams to improve is for the incumbent players to 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.760 step forward. So to bring this back, a lot was 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.279 made over the selection of Patrick Paul because of the 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.279 perceived needs at the guard position last year. And now 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.040 look at where we are, a predictable place where our 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.159 generational tackle who willed himself onto the football field for 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.479 basically three straight years, doesn't finish a full seventeen games, 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.120 but plays a lot of games. But we knew that, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.039 like the body was just not going to last that 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.440 much longer, right, and the retirement comes down the pipe, 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.359 And imagine how much tougher this offseason becomes if you 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.960 had to fined to Ron's replacement. Because we've been over this, 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.719 the free agent tackle market does not exist. It's blockbuster, 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.240 it's gone. I mean it does. But you're paying like 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.600 twenty five million dollars for Dan Morgan who is a 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.039 fringe starter at best. It's quite crazy. And then in 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.720 the draft, tackles tend to go super fast, and you 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.799 might be able to get like a Kelvin Banks at thirteen, 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.680 but I don't think that's an inspire hiring draft pick 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.440 if he's there. And I'm not sure that thirteen is 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.120 the place where you get value for the tackle position, 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.800 and then it picked forty eight. Tackles don't usually usually 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.520 don't come off that late, which is I guess a 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.680 contradiction because Patrick Paul was in that range. But that's 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.840 why you drafted him and sat him and developed him, 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.800 because he wasn't ready to play as a rookie. So 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.960 there would have been really challenging questions to solve that issue. 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.240 But now we have Patrick Paul who's had a year 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.440 of coaching in the system, which is so valuable in 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.120 this offense in particular, had a really good training camp 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.480 and then showed substantial growth from his rookie tape compared 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.279 to what he was at Houston. And I would even 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.640 say what he was on tape against the Titans in 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.200 that first start in the horrible no good week four 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.680 Monday night beat down by a bad football team versus 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.000 what we got in the Jets and Texans games where 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.960 he didn't start the Jets game, but he played from 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.840 the fourth snap on. And I know PFF doesn't really 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.520 like him, but we don't give a tamn about that, 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:57.640 right because I mean, they're grading process. Hees have really 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.200 gone by the wayside over the years. And I would 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.800 also challenge anybody watching Paul to do it on a curve, 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.440 because Paul's twenty twenty four reps on an Island shouldn't 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.040 be viewed in the same prism as Patrick Paul's twenty 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.160 twenty four reps compared to where that college tape was, Like, 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.280 let's be honest, he was mechanically a disaster in college. 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:14.719 He was. 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.240 I mean, Chris Greeven had to take it to the 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.520 podium and say, like, even when he gets beat and 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.640 the mechanics are bad, there's still wins on tape. Like 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.800 he had to calm the backlash over that. But we 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.440 saw vast improvements really from training camp day one all 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.080 the way through December. I knew early on that Pat 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.719 had the right demeanor to execute. What he told me 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.800 was his biggest goal was to relearn his pass protection 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.120 technique because at Houston he was doing something called catching, 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.600 where you basically open your hands and throw them at 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.359 the defender rather than punching. It's more of a looping 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.040 mechanic than like a straight eight point eight to point 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.039 B punch, and he explained this in his media availabilities. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.719 But he also told me on Drivetime last summer that 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.840 his ambition to really work on his past sets and 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:57.599 when he told me his goal is to one day 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.960 be the president of Nigeria, where his grandfather was once president, 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.840 when his playing career is over, and just by getting 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.279 to know him, he is an extremely driven individual, so 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.560 you need not worry about him putting in the work. 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.720 That's a certainty. Is that a guarantee that he'll be 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.560 a good player. No, it's not, but it's a prerequisite 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.400 that you cannot skip over. So at least we have that, 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.880 So I thought, why don't we provide an assessment. He 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.760 played one snap in Seattle. He played sixty in the 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.960 Titans game the entire game, by the way, nineteen in 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.120 the home win versus the Pats, seventeen in the game 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.520 in Green Bay. Then he got two basically full games 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.320 versus the Jets. Started the game against the Texans, came 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.120 off the bench in the Cleveland game for thirty three snaps. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.600 Then he started at right tackle against the Jets in 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.920 the finale. And I don't I'm gonna shed those last 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.520 two games because he's not a right tackle. He wasn't 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.800 ready for that position, I don't think. And also coming 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.760 in cold against Miles Garrett. I don't think is a 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.840 reasonable measurement for a guy that we're trying to evaluate 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.800 and see where his growth can be in year one. 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.200 So now if he sees miles in a game this 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.280 year and we have the Browns on our schedule, then 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.920 for that's all, like you have to perform in those situations, 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.200 so that one's on the table. But for this purpose 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.200 is for the purpose of this assessment, we're going to 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:08.280 remove those two games. 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.360 So I looked at the Titans game. 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.760 I wanted to look at the Packers and Patriots minimal 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.840 snap games as well as those Texans and Jets starts 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.880 or almost start against the Jets, So two hundred and 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.640 thirty one snaps in total, and that Jets game, he 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.960 comes off the bench for Toronto Armstead four plays into 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.920 the first drive, we score a touchdown, Armstead comes back out, 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.240 and then pauls back in two plays later. So I 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.720 think Testead played like six snaps in the game. And 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.920 the play that play is his first outside zone play 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.559 called in the entire game, and he reaches a nine 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.319 technique knocks him off his spot. A nine technique is 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.360 a guy that's way outside of your tackle right he 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.319 is outside where a tight. 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:45.720 End would be. 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.040 He's like two or three steps away from the formation, 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.040 and so you have to get out there and get 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.559 to the outside shoulder and turn him back inside. And 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.480 Pat not only knocks him off of his spot, he 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.640 turns him in and steals him inside. And that's the 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.520 most consistent thing I see on his tape to hit 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.760 blocks in space with control and overpowering control quite frankly, 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.800 and when you know it, that's the basis of this offense. 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.000 Like I know, there's a lot of conformation about certain 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.440 picks and evaluations, but like they know what they're doing 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.760 in terms of what they look for and who fits 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.760 those traits. And that's evident as you know, clear as 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.400 day with Patrick Paul. And you see how that factors 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.679 in with our play action game. I think, you know, 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.160 I think we're gonna have this on an episode of 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.240 Dolphins HQ coming up. I'm gonna break down these two 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.800 plays in particular where you get an outside zone run 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.199 and then play action pass off of that, and they 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.480 just marry up so well together. And I think that 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.280 he especially executes these two factors, and this is the 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.840 beauty of our offense because those guys have to brace 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.360 the edge. Defenders have to brace for a potential four 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.400 two eight running back coming around the edge with the football, 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.600 and then also contend with a three hundred and thirty 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.560 five pound monster who wants to ruin their life with 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.440 great athletic ability, trying to put them six feet below 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.160 the hard rock surface, hard rock stadium surface, out they're 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.400 on the playing field. So he's able to go jump 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.760 set these nine technique rushers and just lock them down 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.160 because they're on their back foot, like you're bringing the 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:09.720 heat to me, I have to adapt to you. 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.040 So where he utilizes. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.480 His athleticism in the running game, in the play action game, 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.200 that allows him to neutralize his rush counterpart to a 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.560 phone booth. And if you look at his pass rush 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.400 stats like or at pass rush stats across the league, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.199 there's a reason that tackles give up the most pressures 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.679 then guards than centers. It's the further out you are, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.520 the more space you have the tougherness to block those guys. 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.520 And you'll watch Tron Armstead and how often he would 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.880 jump set. It's basically, when you have that nine technique, 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.160 you go meet them where they are. You don't get 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.200 vertical and allow them a three or four step runway 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.480 to build speed, to set up a counter move, to 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.560 set up a bull rush. You go get them where 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.240 they are, cut that runway down to two steps, and 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.720 all of a sudden, they have to win in a 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.240 phone booth. And to me, Paul has a natural transition 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.320 to this from the run game because of his traits 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.200 in play style. So one play he erases a defender 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.439 at the point of attack. Then on a similar play 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.199 but with play action on the play the next snap, 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.199 he creates a situation where this two hundred and seventy 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.200 pound edge has to try to beat him in a 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.040 phone booth. And there's not anybody in football doing that. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.040 Like from a physiology standpoint, it's not possible because Patrick 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.280 Paul's three hundred and thirty five pounds with an eighty 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.960 five inch wingspan. You like it's trying to like, he's 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.120 his back is to the phone in the phone booth, 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.000 and you have to get to the phone around him. 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:29.760 You can't do it because he's blocking it. He's too big. 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.240 There's not enough space in the phone booth. 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.120 The balance, the poise, the lack of heels clicking, which 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.199 for a guy that size, I'll never forget Phil Loadholt. 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.560 He was a tackle out of Oklahoma who played for 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.720 the Vikings, and we had the Vikings in Week two 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.320 two thousand and nine after a win on the road 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.640 in Buffalo, and the Vikings were coming off the first 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.160 Brett Favre. Maybe it's twenty ten, yeah, twenty ten, the 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.760 Brett Favier. They lost an MFTY championship game to the Saints, 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.560 and we were supposed to lose that game. And I'm like, 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.920 watch out for Cam wake on Phil Loadholt because he 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:58.760 clicks his heels. He's a three hundred and forty pound 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.240 tackle who can't move, and Cam wake eats those guys 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.280 for breakfast. And sure enough, I think Cam had two 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.280 sacks like a safety or a fourth fumble in that 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.880 game and basically won us that game. Like Patrick Paul 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.520 is the same size as Phil load Holt, but he 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:15.040 moves like Tron Armstead does. He's a smooth glider who 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.640 can really react to the attempts to create distance, to disengage, 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.240 to cross face or get up field. In fact, his 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.600 poison balance in general I think should be praised. He's 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.080 pretty good about having his butt parallel to the ground 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.040 as he covers ground on the kickslide. 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:30.800 He constantly is. 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.840 In great shape against those wide nine rushers, but not 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.880 having a vertical set, or by not having a vertical 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.640 set rather but getting out there and shortening up their 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.720 runway and not getting over anxious on that first move. 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.640 So his tape honestly comes down to one thing between 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.040 his flat out, dominant reps and the ones where he 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.120 doesn't look as sharp. And to me, it's the hands 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.679 when he gets his punch right and inside. The comparison 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.600 is Billy Madison against the fourth grade class playing dodgeball. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:05.080 They're all in big, big trip. Man. 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.360 They just don't make movies like that anymore, do they. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.440 But for Pat, like, when the punch is accurate and good, 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:14.720 that's what it looks like like. He's, you know, playing 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.760 basketball against a bunch of people that are three foot 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.640 six tall. When his hands get outside the rushers, they 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.760 can kind of take control of the rep. And I'm 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.480 sitting here telling you how great he is. Let's go 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.080 ahead and talk about some of the things that jumped 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.079 out in a negative way on the tape. Some of 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.640 the flaws I saw those hands are still outside the framework. 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.199 Too often we have to clean that up and we 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.240 get back to the more Billy Madison reps. A post 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.680 to getting beat. It doesn't allow him to lock down 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.559 or keep a defender where he wants. They can kind 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.480 of control the rep from there. A couple of goal 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.920 line runs against the Jets where he washed an edge 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.680 inside but was able was not able to finish the 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.320 block because they could work back across his face because 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.079 of Patrick's inferior hand position. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:50.920 On the rep. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.680 There's some waste bending, which is where you'll see the 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.040 player's body basically folding half into blocks, and that is 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:58.839 the worst place to be for an offense. Am You 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.280 can't see what you're hitting, Your balance is terrible. You're 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.560 not going to be able to pivot or drop step 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.600 or do anything. It's an awful place to be. There's 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.640 some of that in his tape still, it seems to 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.280 be from alignments. When he gets that look where he 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.320 is on the line of scrimmage with a tight end 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.880 attached and he can't get that depth. The tackle kind 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:16.800 of sets further off the line of scrimmage. I don't 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:18.800 know if he feels his corner is shorter and feels 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.280 more urgency because of that tight end alignment next to him. 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.520 But from those reps you can see him kind of 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.080 race to get to a spot. Then the feet stop, 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.040 and that's also a non sequard or you cannot have that. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.320 And this usually comes with an inside move that he 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.080 has a tough time reacting to. He does drop his 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.520 head into blocks. You can see some reps where everybody's 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.440 head is up and face masks are on their blocks, 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.000 and you'll see the face mask of Pat's helmet looking 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:42.880 straight down to the ground. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:43.840 You cannot do that. 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.120 There's reps where he's just straight down and you can't 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.200 block what you can't see. I think back to Chris 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.400 Greer's comments about him on draftnight once again that he 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.640 can be mechanically bad and still win because of the 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.240 physical skills. And that's still the case for him as 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.920 a pro, which is kind of crazy, because he is 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:58.680 the best athletes in the NFL or in the world, 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.840 I should say, Like on the opening drive against the 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.840 Jets where he made that key block for the HM 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.280 touchdown run, you see him drop his head, but the 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.480 way he drives his man off the football and totally 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.000 uproots him. It's the key block for a touchdown run. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.040 And you see pat celebrate accordingly. So I think you've 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:17.520 got a mechanically deficient, mechanical deficiency and you still get 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.880 that type of win if he can harness it, if 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.040 he can take strides in that area. My expectations for 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.360 all offensive linemen that come in the league these days, 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.240 because we've talked about the lack of development at the 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.640 college level, right then if he can do all that, 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.160 we're gonna have something special because he'll have the wow 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.840 reps and then the bad reps will not be you know, 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.280 Liam getting split in half and falling down and everyone 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.640 has a meme about it on social media. The bad 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.520 rep is like, oh, he barely lost the edge there 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.200 and it sped two up by a tenth of a second. 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.240 If not, it's going to be a player with flashes, 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.480 but also plenty of bad losses stick out in your mind. 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.960 So to me, like the ceiling is already like attainable 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:55.800 and there for him, but we got to get that 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.200 floor up and we can do that through better technique. 0:15:58.200 --> 0:15:59.080 I think the best part. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.040 Of his game is if you don't really see him 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.720 give ground upon contact to condense that down. He's just 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.880 hard to move, which is a good trait for an 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.040 offensive lineman right, whether it's ceiling an alley or absorbing 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.960 a bull rush, guys aren't displacing him the way he 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.280 impacts guys with one arm, Like you can see guys 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.240 being moved when he reaches out and just pushes them 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.600 with one hand, which is a sign of heavy hands, 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.320 which is a great trait to have for an old lineman. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.480 Once again, so you have the reach blocks, play side, 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.880 running left, and those are great, but man, when he 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.000 has to run to the right and reach a three 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.280 technique and cut him off to seal the backside. The 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.120 way he can extend that left arm, engage the defender 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.800 and then run down the line before working to reattach. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:38.520 It is beautiful. 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.280 Man. We're going to point back to that on some 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.800 big runs this year. I almost guarantee it. You're gonna 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.320 like the way you look. I guarantee it. And on 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.400 top of that, the ability to pop a hip open 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.440 and move at that size is so impressive. What I 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.600 mean by that is you get a twist off the 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:57.280 edge right where then edge slants inside and squeezes that 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.320 guard and makes the tackle kind of squeeze in tight 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.000 to the guard as well. And then here comes the 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.320 defensive tackle looping around the edge. You have to then 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.919 get with and depth and you know, drop step back 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.920 with your left foot, open up that hip and move 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.719 that direction quickly to match that move. And when he 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.320 does that, it's not labored at all, and most guys 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.560 his size Phil Loadholt are very labored in that movement. 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:20.360 Here comes Cameron Wake around the outside, he gets around Shanko, 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:25.720 he gets around Loadholt and he knocks that football loose 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.720 before Britt started to throwing loosen. It kind of comes 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:29.520 down to this for me. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.320 And look, these guys have the tape right, Butch has 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.280 been through these reps a million times. Smith, McDaniel, all 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.680 these guys have seen this and made determinations based off 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.879 what they saw on those reps. And I think the 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.640 two things that led to the most losses for him. 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.280 Every player has losses right to me, are extremely correctable. 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.840 They are the technique refining something he and the staff 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.040 acknowledge is in an area of growth for him as a rookie, 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.320
