I'm Travis Wingfield and on today's show, 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.960 the first joint practices of camp are in the books. 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.680 Will get you caught up on Dolphins Falcons Take two. 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.280 We'll hear from head coach Mike McDaniel, quarterback to a 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.800 tongue Bai looa on the week of work, plus more 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.520 camp evaluation discussions and a heck of a lot more 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.720 from Bradley Chubb, Elijah Higgins Javon Holland and more, more 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.240 and more from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:16.200 Health Training Complex. 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.080 This is the Drift. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:23.720 Time podcast, Hey Gaffe, same setup today, Defense far field, 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.560 offense near field, and we moved inside at the end 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.399 of practice. And let me tell you how appreciated that was. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.960 With the weather being what it was. It's very very hot, 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.119 I hear right now. Red zone work once again got 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.640 to go inside to allow for utilizing both ends of 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.400 the field, and the offense in that period was right 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.600 underneath us on the platform. Defense on the other side 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.360 of the field, So again a better view of offense 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:48.120 all day long. 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:48.920 We'll break it. 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.040 Down position by a position best we can once again, 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.400 but full transparency. It is difficult to get detailed notes 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.320 on that far field. So really I mostly have splash plays, 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.840 not going to have any technique or certain you know, 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.560 innocuous type of plays that I usually like to put 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.040 on the podcast. Here, especially with the offense happening simultaneously 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.280 right in front of you, it tends to catch your 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:09.920 eye and it did for me here once again. But 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.840 generally speaking, I thought it was a similar day for 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.440 the offense. Inconsistent some good splash plays, good execution down 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.880 in the red zone, but by and large, probably not 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.600 the finished product that you're ultimately looking for. Luckily, it's 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.840 August ninth, and it means how much, well, absolutely nothing. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.880 Both coach and Tua talked about the progression of camp 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.360 and the purpose of these days and the ultimate evaluation 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.480 not coming down to a specific day, but rather the 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:36.600 entire body of work. 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:42.040 If the goal is you know, average, then I was 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:43.400 super pumped. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:50.839 The I really like joint practices for the sake of 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:56.680 I want everyone's best effort. The tricky thing about it is, 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.360 and as I've learned over the course of my career, 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.880 you know, so what what if the offense had the 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.960 greatest practice in the history of all practices. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:09.359 Or. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.880 Or the opposite happens, it's the worst practice. What does 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.200 that mean for today? And that's kind of my point 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.959 is there there was stuff that irritated me, there's stuff 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:30.480 that pumped me up. We did physically strain through through 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:35.840 some heat against a new opponent. The main focus to 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:40.600 me is was that practice purposeful? How do you make 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:45.800 it purposeful? Your approach today and it's not the same 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:50.960 mistakes you know that we have procedural penalties. 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.400 I'm hoping to not have any today. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:02.400 If we have some, as long as it's not the 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.520 guys that did it the day before, I can work 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:10.600 with that. It's when yesterday was a waste, then then 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:11.600 it's a bigger issue. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.560 So you know, I was I was happy that we. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:20.839 Worked, you know, for where we're trying to go. I 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:27.039 shouldn't be really happy with any practice in terms of 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:31.919 the Okay, we're good. It's not like that. You know, 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.799 last year we Philly is a great example. We practiced 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.400 against Philly and that was the first time offensively that 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:46.200 I think that we felt all eleven people executing simultaneously. 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.560 And you know, no one scores a practice. But if 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.800 you guys were to say, hey, they won that day, 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:59.640 it wouldn't sound crazy. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.520 The Eagles went to the super Bowl. We did not. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.000 But that was a very important practice for us because 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.640 it was the first time that we clicked, I thought, 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.640 and that it led into the first drive of the 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:17.600 preseason game. So yesterday, I like the fact that guys 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:22.640 were straining and very annoyed at the result. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:24.640 That means we're in good spot. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.560 I'm gonna just keep going for the next half an hour, 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.960 and so anyway about it, today's practice is more important 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:31.400 than last. 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.480 I was curious about this because through the first you know, 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.039 eight practices, Toua hadn't thrown a pick in team period 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.200 eleven to one eleven. We've now seen four in the 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.280 last three practices. So I asked him, is it beneficial 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.240 to have some negative plays on tape to give you 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.520 a chance to really correct it and visualize what. 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.120 Not to do in those instances. Here's QB one. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.200 Yeah, I think you have a lot to correct when 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.560 you have more negatives than you do positive. Obviously you 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.200 want to have more positive. But it's good when you 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.920 have a joint practice. For us in the quarterback room, 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.480 looking at it from the outside end, we didn't have 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.279 a gauge on what they were going to be running 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.120 or what to expect. We had one day under our belt, 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.599 and so the second day we did come out, you know, 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.400 there were things that we wanted to try. You know, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.839 so when you do go into the game, should you 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.360 try it again? Like should you not try it? That's 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.039 you know, your discretion. So I think it's it's good 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:33.159 because you learn so much from those things. But outside 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.360 of that, you know, you just continue to keep moving 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.000 forward with it, keep playing. 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.440 And I really think that that answer right there gives 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.000 you the context you need. There's no studying for a 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.960 practice opponent. If your script that you've generated without any 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.720 thought about how the defense might play you is matched 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.080 by what they want to work on, then it just 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.560 is what it is like. If they have the game 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.320 plan to takeaway what you're gonna do, It's gonna be 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.479 a rough day from a practice standpoint, but it gives 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.400 you the exact look against that look that might run 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.040 into in the season to go back on and study 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.960 and prepare and be better for it. It goes back 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.200 to what I talked about with past rushers and double teams. 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.640 You don't see protection scheming in practice, so we're never 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.679 going to see, for instance, Jalen Phillips face a double team. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:14.760 It just doesn't happen. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.200 I want to go back to coach here on this 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.400 because I think he has a little more detail about 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.600 just that and how you balance the idea of running 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.160 your stuff and keeping stuff close to the vest in 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.320 terms of showing your cards on the offense. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:27.160 Here's Coach. 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.679 It's something that you have to kind of be forward thinking. 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:36.320 I'm very aware when we have fan days of technology. 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.320 I'm very aware of stadium practices. I'm very aware of 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:50.600 joint practices. There's a balance and for me, I'm less 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:55.760 secretive then I think I would have thought it would 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.640 have been early in my career, just because. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.200 You know, they if the if the. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:09.640 Offense is constructed the right way, everything has a counter 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.440 to it. So at this point we have to get 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:18.000 good at stuff. I probably hide less, but there's definitely 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.640 stuff that that you don't you don't want to put 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.000 on tape, especially if you're Iron iron the kinks out 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.640 of it. So it's a fun balance. But for the 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:35.240 most part, we're just trying to create situate, create situations 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:39.920 that are competitive within offense that we do do so 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:44.400 that with the idea being you get to evaluate guys 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:48.360 and guys are put in difficult positions like a game 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.600 or hopefully more difficult positions. 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.240 It's pretty fitting to me that they did not get 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.000 response work to the stuff we saw the Chargers do 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:57.880 last year, and what I mean by that is the 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.040 stuff we talked about in the podcast earlier, with the 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.840 the solutions to the issues you might face with taking 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.440 away the bread and butter, that middle of the field 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.560 passing game, the timing rhythm offense that Tua and Tyreek 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.120 and Jalen were so sharp with. And again to reiterate 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.360 this point, we really haven't gotten much of Tua, Tyreek 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.960 and Wattle together. We certainly haven't gotten those guys with 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.600 t set on the offensive line. So you still have 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.280 not gotten the Dolphins full compliment. And I don't want 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.920 to use that as some like prevailing excuse, because there's 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:26.400 gonna be times in the season when you don't have 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.320 all those guys and you know, good players elevate, you know, 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.040 all all boats or all tides or something like that 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.439 gold jacket, green jacket, and we just haven't seen that 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.120 yet in the practice field, at least not for more 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.200 than a couple of snaps. So I think it's important 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.080 to get that context out there. And with regards to 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.320 the you know, what the Chargers did to the Dolphins 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.520 offense last year was the best game plan against Miami, 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:48.680 and it forced them to do some other things, and 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.719 they didn't hit the splash play opportunities that were there 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.600 for them, like the deep ball to Tyreek that he 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.440 lost in the lights or whatever that was. And so 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.720 while the Dolphins did push the ball to the perimeter, 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.040 I don't think they executed it well enough. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.240 They can they can do. 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.120 That with their answer, but they have to be sharper 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.040 than they were today. They got some, but I think 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.200 it will only serve to make them better because now 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.640 they can wrap it more and have immediate solutions of 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.280 the things that gave them issues in a practice that 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.280 caused you know, last year in season games and a 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.760 two week drop off in production. Because again remember it 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.319 was just those two games and then one quarter in 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:20.079 the Green Bay game. 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.720 So I think it's all going to be beneficial in 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:23.280 the long run. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.160 I just keep thinking about the Eagles joint practice comment 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.160 when things kind of click for this offense. You know, 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.640 all eleven guys working together on the same page, and 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.200 it's you know, yeah, it is year two, but you 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:34.880 have to go through the same building block. You don't 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.079 just start back at a certain level of you know, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.880 we're at level five compared to level one, like you 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:42.480 can be more advanced, but you have to. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:43.840 Go through those paces to begin with. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.360 Because I also remember the Bucks practices when it was 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.320 touchdown city in the red zone and in general, just 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.520 a really good two days of work up in Tampa Bay. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.280 So what does it all mean. Well, like coach mentioned, 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.319 it's about what's next. You might recall after a really 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.400 strong camp last year, the offense had a very luggage 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.960 start against the Patriots, just scored twenty points against a 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.560 Patriots team that you know wasn't great last year, only 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.839 scored seven in the first half against Baltimore, and then 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.080 had the best performance by a quarterback in team history 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.720 since Dan Reno was here. So it clicked, you know, 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.600 third quarter or fourth quarter of that game. So in 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.839 the end, it's about what's next. I guess that's the 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.960 point here. I don't know, I get it. I used 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.360 to really let these reports affect me, you know, the 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.760 practice reports swayed my thoughts about the team and maybe 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.920 even affect the whole day in terms of, oh Ryan 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.000 Tannel had a bad day of practice. I'm sad now, 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.600 But also in hindsight, I should have known the reports 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.280 I was reading and taken the context with those with 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.240 a grain of salt. But now I think I feel 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.040 like I have better up understanding of the journey and 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.360 what they're really trying to take from these practices, opposed 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:43.920 to just saying, like pick. 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.160 Bad Travis sad. That's funny. It made me laugh. 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.680 Speaking of last year, I wanted to ask too about 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.360 the comment that coach has made a few times now 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.760 in practice or I should say, his pre practice media 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.160 availabilities about the journey. And by the way, when you 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.000 get like NFL films, like your book story next year 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.120 is totally going to be the Dolphins. Something about the journey, 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.120 just based on the words we're hearing this year, but 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.800 about how things click at different points for different guys. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.760 Do you remember a specific time to where things clicked 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:10.560 for you last year? 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:12.040 Here's the Dolphins quarterback. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.160 Not too sure when when I felt a click or 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.440 when it was, but I was really dialed in on 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.640 just trying to figure out the like how the offense 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.440 was ran, how Mike wants the offense ran, who Mike 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:26.480 is as a play caller. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.160 I was just dialed in. 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.480 On all of that and not not worrying much about 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.960 how my play was. I just felt as if if 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:38.240 I go through you know how Mike would would expect 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.839 us to go through progressions, go through reads, and we 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.439 should be fine. Just find a completion wherever it may 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.000 be and get the guys going. 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:46.599 And for posterity. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.040 Coach also touched on that when he was asked this 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:50.600 morning about Mike White. 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.439 Here's coach, He's he's had a really cool couple of 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.920 weeks just getting used to everything. Uh, the quarterback position, 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.720 you're in charge with the ball every play and you 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.640 have to tell everyone their assignment. So that's there's a 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:08.520 lot that goes into that, which is one of the 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.760 numerous reasons that I reserve judgment because I'm, you know, 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:21.480 such a level minded, you know, adult, mature guy, and uh, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:27.440 well with him, you know, his his personality off the bat, 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:36.240 he exuded quarterback confidence and and and really developed relationships 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.880 with his teammates. And you've seen a steady progression of 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.400 more and more plays and more and more confidence to 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.120 operate within the timing of our specific offense. 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:46.559 So he's doing a good job. 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.160 As it relates to the preseason game, there's still a 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:58.480 hearty practice today and again, uh, I'd like to let 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.200 the players determine things. 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:07.120 On the field. Whoever does play. 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:13.120 Before the other player in the preseason game from the 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:19.960 quarterback position, that won't suggest that that person. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.160 Is gonna be to his backup. 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:28.200 It will be based upon the reps opportunities, what we 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.600 think is best for the guys, and then in true 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.800 competition form, it will probably flop the next week. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.160 So let's talk about those quarterbacks here to kick off 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.000 the practice notes. I thought Tua was pretty damn precise 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.800 in the red zone seven on seven session. I thought 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.320 there were a few really nice throws sprinkled in, including 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.120 one where I loved his footwork under duress to get 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.480 off the spot and put himself in position to kind 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.200 of spring load his step that takes him out of 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.680 the pocket, and he kind of, you know, springs out 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.440 of that position into a free space, you know, away 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.800 from the rush, attack the lion scrimmage and throw the 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.160 ball outside to Robbie Chosen with a defender closing over 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.320 the top and a defender getting depth from underneath to 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.160 kind of shrink that window, and Tua just layers this 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.920 ball into a perfect spot and Robbie Chosen has it 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.400 just beyond the outstretched arm of the defender, but he 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.240 couldn't hang on for the catch. The red zone seven 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.560 on seven period was a good example of some quality placement, 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.320 including another shot to Chosen to really settle him down 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.040 into a soft spot for a touchdown. And protect him 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.440 from a collision if it were live, of course, but 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.520 I also thought there were some not so good, especially 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.520 the final sequence in two minute when it was incomplete, 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.040 a well contested throw to akhmb a ball to the 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.200 perimeter to Braxton Burials that he left way too far 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.200 inside to give the dB a play on the football 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.520 and it was a far hash throw. And look, he 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.720 made the exact same throw to Wada last year when 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.040 Denzel war was in coverage, like a perfect ball. He 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:50.560 just missed on this one and it wasn't picked but 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:51.560 it was broken up. 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:51.800 Whop. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:52.560 Sorry about that. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.360 Also had a pick to Jalen Hawkins who was camped 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.520 in the middle of the field, and Tua tried to 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.480 throw one of his quick anticipation throws where I thought like, oh, 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.320 he sees something, but the safety was right there the 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:03.280 whole time and didn't move. 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.080 It was a bad pick. Just call it what it was. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.200 I thought Mike White was pretty good today. He had 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.440 a nice rip in that same seven on seven red 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.280 zone period where he put the ball into a tight 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.280 window for six. You can see it on our Twitter 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.640 account in Miami Dolphins. He also had three of the 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.920 four consecutive touchdowns in the indoor red zone period. Now 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.160 two of those, one from Mike White one from Skyler 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.880 were complete buffs with Tyreek Hill and Julian Hill left. 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.520 All alone, like literally all alone. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.280 I'm not sure the dbs were doing, but they both 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.160 took off to the wrong side of the field and 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.840 left receivers wide open. The other was a good throw 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.320 to Higgins, allowing for him to angle towards the front pylon, 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.560 and the ball placement helped him make the transition from 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.120 route runner to ball carrier. Love the way Higgins got 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.680 into that transition and beat the defender for six to 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.800 the spot. Skyler made the best throw I've seen from 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.800 him all camp, and not just by like his own standard, 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.520 by any quarterback standard a pier dot. There were six 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.320 seconds left in a two minute drill. He had four 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.520 consecutive completions to put them at the forty or so 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.000 yard line, three of those to Chris Coleman, who I 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.800 think had one of those NBA jam He's on moments 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.440 because he came off the pile or after the catch 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.719 one time like screaming at the defense talking about like 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.760 you know who I am. Now back to the throw, 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.280 Skyler gets off his spot and attacks the line of scrimmage, 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.520 fires a strike into the end zone. With two Falcon 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.040 defenders converging, it splits them and finds a diving devon 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.200 a chain for a long touchdown. The entire team ran 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.520 down and celebrity with a rookie. Very cool to see, 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.680 maybe the playoff camp so far, and a good way 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.800 to conclude a strong period after a day where, look, 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.719 this Falcons defense has been rebuilt. I think they might 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.119 be pretty damn good. Like my takeaway from these two days. 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:33.920 I know who the Dolphins are, I know what they're 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:35.600 going to be this year, but I think this team 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.240 could compete for the NFC South Crown with that division 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.280 being what it is and a strong defense and running game. 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.159 Before to take our last break, let's go ahead and 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.359 hear from Tua who touched on the other two quarterbacks, 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.000 Mike White and Skyler Thompson. 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:47.280 I see a lot. 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.760 I got the most respect for both of those guys. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.720 This is going to be the second year that Skyler's 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.920 in the room with me. I mean, I know Skyler, 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:02.960 we have a lot of animated conversations about football and 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.120 then just getting to know Mike White as well. Mike 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.399 White's very smart, you know, in the quarterback room, he 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.679 has a lot of uh, he has a lot to 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.600 say as far as input as well. So it's really 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:14.800 good to have both of them in there. 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.040 Let's go ahead and take the first break there. Deep 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.160 into the podcast. We'll come back on the other side 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.240 and get my chat with Elijah Higgins Puss. We'll hear 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.639 from Bradley Chubb and Javon holland all that next in 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.440 the Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield. 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:27.400 Brought to you by Auto Nation. 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.880 So a football game on Friday night, but the joint 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.160 practices are commonplace across the league. 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.600 What's the benefit of those. Let's go ahead and hear 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:38.720 from QB one on just that. 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.240 I think the one thing that's really cool about joint 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:47.320 practices is it almost simulates game like situations where you 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.359 have first down, second down, third downs, we had red downs, 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.600 we have two minute situations. I think the cool thing 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:58.560 about it is that you know everyone's getting their adrenaline 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.280 going and you you never know what's gonna happen. 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:02.920 You know, you get a fight out there. 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:05.439 Like the biggest thing for us is we're trying to 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.840 move on to the next play and like try to 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:10.920 try to get back, try to get back on track 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.600 as like fast as possible, So like not letting the 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.880 last play dictate how we play the next play and 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:20.320 how we're gonna move forward as an offense like for 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.680 the following play. So I think that's that's what makes 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.800 these joint practices good, is that it simulates game like 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:31.240 situations and game like feelings before you actually go and 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.760 you know, go out there and compete in actual games. 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.480 All right, enough quarterback talk. I mentioned the play by 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.840 a chain. Just about every day we get something from 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:40.879 him like that. He is so much fun to watch. 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.359
