Speaker 1: Looking down field, touchdown Miami quite spokes a drun. What
Speaker 1: is up, Dolphans And welcome to the Drivetime Podcast, part
Speaker 1: of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. How's it going, everybody, It's good to be back.
Speaker 1: I am your host, Travis Wingfield, and as always I
Speaker 1: am here to bring you your daily dose of Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins football. And on today's show, it is game week, alright,
Speaker 1: by one more time, alright, we have a game to
Speaker 1: talk about. And though it is game week, we aren't
Speaker 1: quite going to get to the Patriots just yet on
Speaker 1: this podcast, but we do have a busy show. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about the roster, construction update, the practice squad, get
Speaker 1: you the latest Miami Dolphins news here from Monday's Miami
Speaker 1: Dollar Friends, media availabilities, will scan the social and I'll
Speaker 1: tell you a little bit about driving from quite literally
Speaker 1: the furthest possible points of the continental US over the
Speaker 1: last few days. Busy show, a very very fun show.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to get into it. Let's do that
Speaker 1: from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1: This is the Drivetime Podcast. Plenty of housekeeping to get
Speaker 1: to before we dive all the way in. First, Isaiah Ford,
Speaker 1: Carl Tucker, and Benito Jones have been added back to
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins practice squad. And Isaiah Ford you know
Speaker 1: about him. He's kind of the ideal practice squad guy.
Speaker 1: In this new age which was kind of spawned from
Speaker 1: the COVID era of the NFL, of the practice squad,
Speaker 1: updated amount of players you can bring on your practice squad,
Speaker 1: a post of how guys used to be street free
Speaker 1: agents this time of year. But because you can stash
Speaker 1: those veterans on the practice squad and protect for guys,
Speaker 1: now you get to keep them in your building and
Speaker 1: within the structure of your not just your system, but
Speaker 1: you're building in the playbook and all that fun stuff.
Speaker 1: And with Isaiah, the thing you know about him is
Speaker 1: if you need him to step in and fill a
Speaker 1: role on Sunday, it doesn't matter what it is, He's
Speaker 1: gonna know every alignment, assignment, the site adjustments, and in
Speaker 1: addition to that, he'll help the guy next to him
Speaker 1: get lined up too if it's needed. That's the kind
Speaker 1: of player he is, so he certainly adds value to
Speaker 1: your practice squad. Carl Tucker is back on the practice
Speaker 1: squad after having training camp here with the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: and where he stands out above really anybody else on
Speaker 1: the roster is that fullback distinction. Now. You'll recall on
Speaker 1: the podcast from over the summer, he was a former
Speaker 1: receiver in high school, converted to tight end in college
Speaker 1: at North Carolina, and then was a grad transfer to
Speaker 1: Bama operating more as a fullback slash h back. In
Speaker 1: addition to some of the inline work he did, attacked
Speaker 1: attached rather to the line of scrimmage, So he does
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything, but that fullback distinction him.
Speaker 1: You have some guys on the roster like a Durham Smith,
Speaker 1: like a Seethan Carter who can operate in that role
Speaker 1: a little bit, But Carl Tucker, as far as having
Speaker 1: FB in front of his name, he's the only guy
Speaker 1: on the roster with that distinction. Benito Jones, he's a
Speaker 1: tree stump against the running game, man space eater up front,
Speaker 1: who can squat that that lower half and just be
Speaker 1: a guy that takes on double teams. This is a deep,
Speaker 1: deep defensive line we talked about all summer long here
Speaker 1: on the podcast. You get caught by the Numbers game
Speaker 1: there for Bonito Jones, but he is back on the
Speaker 1: practice squad. And since we haven't been with you guys
Speaker 1: since Friday, here is the practice squad. Varus Davis kicks
Speaker 1: off our list here. His Dolphins announced the complete practice
Speaker 1: squad after the additions here on this Monday. Coming to
Speaker 1: you on Monday for a Tuesday podcast. But javars Da
Speaker 1: has had a really good camp, good ball skills, good
Speaker 1: job staying in phase and coverage downfield. I thought he
Speaker 1: really impressed to earn his spot in this role and
Speaker 1: a possible guy that could make some noise later on
Speaker 1: in the season if he continues the ascension we saw
Speaker 1: this training camp. Jared Jake's back on the practice squad.
Speaker 1: Shortyard guy who had a lot of success in that
Speaker 1: Cincinnati game in those short yardage runs, but also just
Speaker 1: piling up or yardage I should say in general, also
Speaker 1: bring some quality pass protection, at least from his time
Speaker 1: in college. Perhaps you developed that a little bit more
Speaker 1: and get even more out of possible three down back there.
Speaker 1: And Jared Oaks Milo or Milo rather Eifler, I have
Speaker 1: some work to do on this guy. A rookie six
Speaker 1: ft one pound linebacker from Illinois. That's all I know
Speaker 1: about him. But Milo Eifler on the practice squad Isaiah
Speaker 1: Ford talked about him already. Shakim Griffin a special team
Speaker 1: stand out with the cl Seahawks. He brings energy, he
Speaker 1: brings spirit, a good person to have in the building,
Speaker 1: and kind of like we talked about Benito Jones, you
Speaker 1: get a heavy or deep defensive line well for Shakim
Speaker 1: Griffin's purposes. Both the linebacker position and the special teams
Speaker 1: most notably are very very deep, with plenty of guys
Speaker 1: that can play that core special team's role, Guys that
Speaker 1: can be gunners, jammers, personal protectors, return men, whatever it
Speaker 1: might be. It's a tough group to crack and shakeem
Speaker 1: has a chance to work as way back into that
Speaker 1: group off the Dolphins practice squad. But Ato Jones talked
Speaker 1: about him already. Patrick laired another one of these special
Speaker 1: teams guys. I mean, they come in waves on this
Speaker 1: football team. You can just count on Patrick Laird in
Speaker 1: that area of the football game. Kirk Merritt and we
Speaker 1: talked about him a lot on this podcast throughout the
Speaker 1: course of the summer, and I think he has a
Speaker 1: good chance to continue his development as we saw him
Speaker 1: really take a major step from year one to year
Speaker 1: two as far as training camp goes. But it's a
Speaker 1: good year as we've learned to have depth, especially at
Speaker 1: that position, and I think Kirk, if you needed to
Speaker 1: call upon him, could step him and do the job.
Speaker 1: Calvin Munson an absolute banger at B gap to B
Speaker 1: gap run defending missile, good insurance to the backup or
Speaker 1: to that linebacker room. I should say a guy like
Speaker 1: e Landon Roberts kind of similar playing style as far
Speaker 1: as tone setters and physical pleasances. But he also brings
Speaker 1: a lot to the special teams group. Like I said,
Speaker 1: this practice squad has guys that can step up and
Speaker 1: get on the special teams core units pretty much any
Speaker 1: Sunday of the season. This is a deep group for that.
Speaker 1: Regard Adam Panky, extra offensive line him and type of
Speaker 1: roles game plan specific, do you want to go heavy
Speaker 1: package throughout the course of the game, maybe you call
Speaker 1: up Panky because he did it so well last year
Speaker 1: as that sixth seventh offensive lineman on the roster to
Speaker 1: come into goal line situations short yardage. But also he
Speaker 1: gives you quality depth, played some good left tackle last
Speaker 1: year in a pinch when he was called upon Brandon Powell.
Speaker 1: Same as kind of Eiffler here, some work to do
Speaker 1: on him. Don't know a lot about his game. I
Speaker 1: know he's a five eight one pound receiver who came
Speaker 1: out of Florida in two thousand and eighteen. A Deerfield
Speaker 1: Beach native. Derval kid as netto the offensive lineman of
Speaker 1: from Brazil and the International Pathway program. He has a
Speaker 1: chance now in his third season to continue his development
Speaker 1: on the offensive line with that roster or the practice
Speaker 1: squad roster exemption. We saw growth out of derv Ball
Speaker 1: this year and some good production in his first NFL
Speaker 1: action and actual preseason games. Jabaal sheared and going back
Speaker 1: to kind of the Isaiah Ford mentioned here, this is
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that you can kind of stash
Speaker 1: in the practice squad and if you have some injuries
Speaker 1: you need some depth to come up. Jabal year you
Speaker 1: can provide that for you. He can play that heavy end,
Speaker 1: a two sixty five plus pound guy off that edge
Speaker 1: to kind of funnel the run game to the linebackers,
Speaker 1: situational pass rush depth, and we talked about the depth
Speaker 1: of the defensive end slash. You know, he's a d M,
Speaker 1: but he can play so many spots. But as far
Speaker 1: as like what aug Bought and Lawson did last year
Speaker 1: at defensive end, the Dolphins were I don't want to
Speaker 1: stay fortunate, but they were a little bit fortunate to
Speaker 1: have both those guys stay largely healthy throughout the course
Speaker 1: of the season because when you get beyond that part,
Speaker 1: those guys played so many snaps. Maybe some more depth
Speaker 1: at the position this year, as the Dolphins do have,
Speaker 1: can help keep those guys fresher and of course protect
Speaker 1: against injury. I think Jabaal Sheared is in that vein,
Speaker 1: especially when you consider that he knows every bit of
Speaker 1: the scheme with the stunts and the games and the
Speaker 1: philosophy of the rush scheme and how to play the
Speaker 1: run and all that stuff. He knows what Brian Flores
Speaker 1: likes and he fits that mold. Continuing on our practice
Speaker 1: squad review, read sent it when we saw him in
Speaker 1: the Bengals game. Some athletic ability, big strong arm, some
Speaker 1: of ffness. Took a big shot on the big game
Speaker 1: winning throw. Love having this guy on your practice squad
Speaker 1: to continue to develop. You can never develop enough quarterbacks potentially,
Speaker 1: let's say a couple of years down the road, everything
Speaker 1: goes great with tah maybe this guy can be developed
Speaker 1: into your backup quarterback behind to down the road. You
Speaker 1: never know. It's always good to have these guys stash
Speaker 1: here and continue that development. Keon Smith a tackle from
Speaker 1: Fayetteville State, six ft five pounds and undrafted rookie there
Speaker 1: out of Fayetteville State. Cameron Tom, we know about the
Speaker 1: anchor and the past protection ability. Knows this system can
Speaker 1: be a good communicator on the interior of the offensive line.
Speaker 1: I am curious to see that development continue to be
Speaker 1: seen through here with Cameron Tom and then Carl Tucker
Speaker 1: rounds out our group. We already discussed what he brings
Speaker 1: to the table. And one player not listed there is
Speaker 1: Jamal Perry who was elevated from the practice squad up
Speaker 1: to the active roster. What an up and down week
Speaker 1: for him makes the roster finds himself cut back on
Speaker 1: the practice squad, now back up. That's the nature of
Speaker 1: the NFL. Stay ready, young man, and we mentioned his
Speaker 1: ball skills without the course of training camp. Also love
Speaker 1: his ability to come up and tackle in some of
Speaker 1: those sub packages as well as on special team and
Speaker 1: the reason he's up. Both Adam Shaheen and Austin Jackson
Speaker 1: were added to covid I are on Monday, and coach
Speaker 1: answered questions about their potential availability on Sunday, seeing saying
Speaker 1: they are preparing as if they will not have those
Speaker 1: players available, and if they don't, we know about the
Speaker 1: depth at the tight end position, but you also know
Speaker 1: Austin Jackson has been your left tackle essentially since opening
Speaker 1: day of last season, barring injuries. He's been the guy
Speaker 1: out there, whether at practice or at games. So that
Speaker 1: could potentially open up a spot for a new player
Speaker 1: to jump into that role, and the Dolphins have some options. First,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead here from Brian Flores on the idea
Speaker 1: on the mentality of that left tackle position. Should Austin
Speaker 1: Jackson be down on Sunday in New England. We talked
Speaker 1: about that as a staff. You know, we've got a
Speaker 1: few different options. We've got multiple players we've played over
Speaker 1: on the left and on the right, so um, who
Speaker 1: work of different combinations today and UM see what that
Speaker 1: looks like in practice, and UM, you know, talk about
Speaker 1: it the over the next few days. There's an opportunity
Speaker 1: to get you know, both guys back, so we'll we'll
Speaker 1: see how it goes. So there you're here. Coach mentioned
Speaker 1: some options at that left tackle position in the event
Speaker 1: that Austin Jackson cannot play. First, he was asked about
Speaker 1: Greg Little. I think Greg's done a nice job. I
Speaker 1: think Greg's, um, you know, worked hard to learn the offense,
Speaker 1: to learn the terminology. UM. He's a hard working kid. UM.
Speaker 1: He's taken in all the information and then try to
Speaker 1: apply it in practice, um and in games. And I
Speaker 1: think he's had some some some bright moments a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks that he's been here, and you know, we're
Speaker 1: just going to continue to work with him and develop them.
Speaker 1: And one thing you'll see from the New England Patriots
Speaker 1: is they do have pass rushers in waves. Whether it's
Speaker 1: Chase Winning Bitch, Josh you Jay or Matt jude On
Speaker 1: or those guys up front with Lawrence Guy or Dietrich Wise.
Speaker 1: They just have so many guys that can put a
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback. And when I think about Greg
Speaker 1: Little as a possible option at left tackle, I think
Speaker 1: about the athletic ability to get yourself in a position
Speaker 1: where you can readirect and get to that landmark and
Speaker 1: work back inside. But also I think one of the
Speaker 1: key elements is going to be the mental makeup of
Speaker 1: that position, because, like with the Dolphins we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about here in just a minute, the Patriots can throw
Speaker 1: so many things act you in different looks and different
Speaker 1: stunts in different games and different rush packages that I
Speaker 1: think it would behoove the team to really have someone
Speaker 1: out there that can communicate and pick up all the
Speaker 1: different options you might see from that Patriots Russian and
Speaker 1: Greg Little has some experience in this league, so he
Speaker 1: certainly is capable in that regard. And I like the
Speaker 1: athletic ability there at that left tackle position from a
Speaker 1: Greg Little. What about a guy like Liam Eichenberg. Well,
Speaker 1: here's coach Williams day today. He's doing everything he can
Speaker 1: to get back out there as quickly as he can
Speaker 1: and um, we'll try to, Uh, he'll try to get
Speaker 1: out there as soon as he can. Um. And yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where he's at. And if Liam can go, that's
Speaker 1: certainly gonna be indicative of what the coaching staff thinks
Speaker 1: about his ability to, like we talked about, pick up
Speaker 1: all the different looks and different action. The Patriots will
Speaker 1: throw at you. But then again, of course, the health
Speaker 1: is the number one thing there with your second round
Speaker 1: draft pick and Liam Eichenberg, but as far as techniques
Speaker 1: and fundamentals and just general intelligence at the position, a
Speaker 1: guy who didn't allow a sack in his final two
Speaker 1: years there at nore Dame, you like his options there,
Speaker 1: will see how he is health wise and how the
Speaker 1: coaching staff wants to possibly fill in that gap. If
Speaker 1: Austin cannot go, what about Jesse Davis? Now with him,
Speaker 1: you have the option to either shuffle the lie a
Speaker 1: little bit or keep it the same way if you
Speaker 1: want to plug in a Liam Eichenberger right tackle if
Speaker 1: he again is ready to roll. But again talking about
Speaker 1: the idea of the rookie in his first game against
Speaker 1: his Patriots team, do you change Jesse Davis's position to
Speaker 1: get Eikenberg in there? We'll see if that's what the
Speaker 1: direction they want to go, But it's one of the
Speaker 1: options this team has, as so many these guys up
Speaker 1: front have cross trained across the offensive line. And then
Speaker 1: I put Adam Panky in here as well as one
Speaker 1: of my other options, a possible practice squad call up
Speaker 1: for game day, and like we talked about his ability
Speaker 1: to get pushed in the running game is always tangible
Speaker 1: when you watch this offensive line play. So maybe it's
Speaker 1: one of those four guys, maybe it's something else, maybe
Speaker 1: it's a shuffle. But this team, as you've heard Coach
Speaker 1: talk about in that press conference answer, they're gonna have
Speaker 1: contingencies for the contingencies and self scout their roster with
Speaker 1: confidence and make decisions based upon the ability to recognize
Speaker 1: what they have in house. That's what they've done for
Speaker 1: three years here now in Miami. No reason to go
Speaker 1: off that path at this point. And one quick note,
Speaker 1: we never got to and it's a great lead into
Speaker 1: the scanning the social segment of the podcast. We never
Speaker 1: covered the lone waiver addition and Elijah, Elijah Campbell coming
Speaker 1: over from the Jets. He was the lone waiver wire
Speaker 1: acquisition of that period of the calendar, the NFL calendar,
Speaker 1: And this kind of takes us into a two part
Speaker 1: mentioned here of the scanning the social segment. And first,
Speaker 1: I want to address the general theme of this topic
Speaker 1: because you know, and it's cut down day. Is the
Speaker 1: theme or the topic I should say, And with regards
Speaker 1: to specific position additions like cut down day. It is
Speaker 1: never gonna be the time where you're going to solve
Speaker 1: your perceived problems on the open market. This is not
Speaker 1: free agency or the draft where you have the entire
Speaker 1: crop of the market available to you to pursue and
Speaker 1: know that, hey, that guy produced X, Y and Z
Speaker 1: for team you know T last season. These are players
Speaker 1: who were cut from other team's roster. So if you're
Speaker 1: using cut down day to plug holes and then you're
Speaker 1: kind of doing it wrong. Not to say that it
Speaker 1: won't ever happen, It does happen all the time. One
Speaker 1: man's trash can be another man's treasure, right, Shoot, look
Speaker 1: at Savan Akhmed last year. But that's why you acquire talent.
Speaker 1: Savon didn't even play until about mid season, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't a move that Dolphins fans pointed to and unanimously
Speaker 1: looked at and said, there, you know, Leonardo DiCaprio meme
Speaker 1: from Once upon Time in Hollywood, there's our answer to
Speaker 1: the running back room. We're talking about the sometimes the
Speaker 1: fifty six player on other team's rosters. So just doing
Speaker 1: the math, fifty three three times thirty two, that's one thousand,
Speaker 1: six hundred and ninety six players that those guys are
Speaker 1: considered behind quote unquote players on NFL rosters, and then
Speaker 1: you get to this crop. So again I'm not saying
Speaker 1: waivers is impossible to find significant solutions. You can do that,
Speaker 1: but to expect your team to go and just pick
Speaker 1: up players and fixed any of the perceived problems you
Speaker 1: might have in that portion of the calendar, that's just
Speaker 1: not realistic. And the reason I wanted to get to
Speaker 1: this was because the Dolphins obviously they add a defensive back,
Speaker 1: and my reaction to that is, well, the way these
Speaker 1: coaches have proven to develop talent and specifically at that position,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I take the truck them route when
Speaker 1: it comes to that. So continuing this on here, the
Speaker 1: Dolphins have if you count Will Fuller, who doesn't count
Speaker 1: against the roster in Week one, but if you count
Speaker 1: his presence on the football team, the Dolphins currently have
Speaker 1: twelve receivers and twelve defensive backs in toe. Now again,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to make a move to get Fuller
Speaker 1: back on the roster. So eleven receivers and tight ends
Speaker 1: on the roster there twelve if you can't Will Fuller,
Speaker 1: and then also twelve defensive backs are Actually it's thirteen
Speaker 1: defensive backs now with Jamal Perry Intoe back on the roster,
Speaker 1: so twelve receiver slash tight ends again counting Will Fuller
Speaker 1: and thirteen defensive backs. And it brought to mind to
Speaker 1: me the comment Coach Floor has made when I asked
Speaker 1: him about Javon Holland back after the draft and the
Speaker 1: idea of adding playmakers and never having enough defensive backs
Speaker 1: on your roster. Here's what Coach had to say about
Speaker 1: that question. UM, I mean it's a passing leak. I
Speaker 1: think we all know that. So you need to be
Speaker 1: able to defend the past. You got to defend the
Speaker 1: run also. But UM, if you just look at the percentages,
Speaker 1: UM and strictly the numbers, UM, you know it's a
Speaker 1: passing league. So I think you know, in my in
Speaker 1: my opinion, and you Chris and I've had many discussions
Speaker 1: about this. UM. You know, you know we want to
Speaker 1: be able to obviously defend the deep part of the field,
Speaker 1: limit explosive plays in order to do that. UM, and
Speaker 1: the guys who were back there are the defensive back So, UM,
Speaker 1: I think Chris, you know, he's he puts a lot
Speaker 1: of emphasis on on on that um with with the
Speaker 1: scouts um and we we we talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: the back end constantly. We feel like it's important. I
Speaker 1: feel like all of it's important, and I never I
Speaker 1: hate to kind of talk about one thing because you
Speaker 1: know everything, every position, every you know, from the nose
Speaker 1: tackle to the three technique to the linebacker, which it's
Speaker 1: all kind of plays as one. Um. But at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, I mean I learned this a
Speaker 1: long time. There's nothing the nose cap tackle can do
Speaker 1: about you know, fifty yard ball. So um we we
Speaker 1: we put an emphasis on that, and uh yeah, the
Speaker 1: next we gotta do is get him coached up and
Speaker 1: and you know, it's one thing to add players and
Speaker 1: then it's another thing to get him coached up and
Speaker 1: get them all on the same page so that we
Speaker 1: can try to defend these offenses that are are very
Speaker 1: good mis league. Plenty of very good offenses in this league.
Speaker 1: And I recall hearing another call back on I forget
Speaker 1: what show it was, so I apologize for that. But
Speaker 1: the call back to the Nick Savan idea when he
Speaker 1: kind of adapted his philosophy from you know, beating L
Speaker 1: s U. Ten to seven for all those years and
Speaker 1: saying like, if you don't score thirty points in today's
Speaker 1: college football, you're not gonna have a chance to win.
Speaker 1: So kind of reinventing himself and going after more of
Speaker 1: an offensive heavy type of attack. And that's kind of
Speaker 1: what the NFL has seen over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: As points continue to climb up, you have to find
Speaker 1: ways to stop those guys. And so to the offensive
Speaker 1: point about eleven receivers and tight ends twelve with Fuller
Speaker 1: compared to you know, three running backs on the roster,
Speaker 1: and the idea of getting spacing, the ability to go
Speaker 1: more vertical, to go matchup base and really have that
Speaker 1: fleet of basketball type players that can match up with
Speaker 1: the type of defensive backs the opposition has. And what
Speaker 1: about the ability to influence the run game with things
Speaker 1: other than the actual run game. I wanted to go
Speaker 1: back to this as far as the roster construction goes.
Speaker 1: Here's coach Flores once again, back on May the first,
Speaker 1: talking about how to influence the running defense of the
Speaker 1: opposition with things more than just your own running game.
Speaker 1: I think it does a lot. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: you got guys are going run on the perimeter. If
Speaker 1: you load the box, you know there's more opportunity for
Speaker 1: one on one matchups and opportunities downfield. So defenses have
Speaker 1: to make that that decision when you have those types
Speaker 1: of players on the field. Um, and again, if you
Speaker 1: don't load the box and you play for those big
Speaker 1: plays and there's less people in the boxing, less people
Speaker 1: to block, and you know, I think it's really becomes
Speaker 1: kind of a numbers math game. You get those guys blocked,
Speaker 1: there's more space to run. So uh, I mean there's
Speaker 1: a lot to this. And as you guys know, I mean,
Speaker 1: you guys watch have seen a lot of football and
Speaker 1: understand the game. So um, when you have guys on
Speaker 1: the perimeter and guys who who who you know, demand
Speaker 1: some attention, that kind of attention, Um, then you know
Speaker 1: there could be more space and there may not be.
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, then we've got to take
Speaker 1: advantage of of those matchups on the perimeter. So I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a chess game, as you all know.
Speaker 1: And um, obviously the run the run game and how
Speaker 1: how you attack the run game, that's that's that's part
Speaker 1: of it. I still find that to be one of
Speaker 1: the more insightful answers we've heard from coach. I've gone
Speaker 1: back to the few times during the podcast, so I
Speaker 1: appreciate you sticking with me on that, but I think
Speaker 1: it illustrates a point. As you know, that first clip
Speaker 1: with the question with regards to on Holland that I
Speaker 1: posed a coach back on May the onet Any referenced
Speaker 1: that it's a passing league, as you heard, but that's
Speaker 1: both offensive and defensive. So what do we see with
Speaker 1: this team last year from a defensive perspective or just
Speaker 1: kind of generally multiplicity guys that can do multiple things
Speaker 1: and have different schemes and roles. You can execute versatility
Speaker 1: within those players to make the scheme multiple rush games
Speaker 1: with stunts and twists and slants and bringing blitzers off
Speaker 1: the edge, down the pipe, whatever it might be, creative
Speaker 1: ways to kind of unload the kitchen sink. As coach
Speaker 1: Flores talked about with Matt Ryan back when the Falcons
Speaker 1: were here for joint practices back in August, blitzing. We
Speaker 1: have a top five blitzing rate in will that continue
Speaker 1: this year? And just real quick, you can blitz teams
Speaker 1: that can be effective as we saw throughout the course
Speaker 1: of the season. But I wanted to pull up these
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks as I think the two best quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: the league for last season at least, and Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen, and I went up to their Pro
Speaker 1: Football Focus page and when blitzed, here's Mahomes's numbers. Sixty
Speaker 1: eight point six completion percentage for one thousand three d
Speaker 1: thirty six yards. That's eight point seven yards per attempt,
Speaker 1: which is more more than or a yard better than
Speaker 1: when he was not blitzed. Eighteen touchdown passes, two picks,
Speaker 1: and he threw twenty four touchdowns and six picks when
Speaker 1: he was not blitzed. What about Josh Allen sixty five
Speaker 1: eight percent completion rate one thousand nine yards for an
Speaker 1: average of seven point six yards per passed, twenty touchdowns
Speaker 1: compared to two picks. How about when he wasn't blitzed
Speaker 1: twenty two touchdowns, nine picks. So seven man coverage generates
Speaker 1: more picks for the defense against those two guys at
Speaker 1: least last season, And I think that's a very intriguing
Speaker 1: thing to look at. But back to my list here,
Speaker 1: as far as you know, the blitzing games and running
Speaker 1: rush games and multiplicity inversatility. The last thing on my
Speaker 1: list is the ability to get into sub packages, and
Speaker 1: that kind of coincides with those blitz numbers different roles.
Speaker 1: I mean, some days we might need to call upon
Speaker 1: four linebackers for five plus snaps in a game for
Speaker 1: each of those four linebackers. In fact, you know what
Speaker 1: coach addressed this, and we play the audio for you
Speaker 1: on the podcast last week. Sometimes's three linebackers, sometimes it's two,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's one, sometimes at zero, he said, And sometimes
Speaker 1: you need six defensive backs for twenty plus snaps each game.
Speaker 1: Maybe you want to defend Mahomes or Alan or whoever
Speaker 1: the quarterback might be that you want to play more
Speaker 1: coverage against. Each opponent is a different puzzle to solve.
Speaker 1: And the more moves you're given at the proverbial rubrics cube,
Speaker 1: I guess like, if you have ten moves compared to
Speaker 1: twenty moves, don't you want the twenty that's better? Right?
Speaker 1: And that's where this added depth to me really comes
Speaker 1: into play and real quick. It's always a kudos to
Speaker 1: say that's about a coaching staff, but the courage and
Speaker 1: conviction it takes to be adaptable, week to week, Like
Speaker 1: if you beat someone convincingly on Sunday, to go away
Speaker 1: from that plan the following week and take a new
Speaker 1: approach against a new opponent. I don't care who you are.
Speaker 1: That takes courage. But with that depth, consider how you
Speaker 1: felt when a few of the guys were cut last week,
Speaker 1: Like you were mad at a few of those right,
Speaker 1: that's because this team has improved its depth into a
Speaker 1: position where you have to make tough decisions. And coach
Speaker 1: mentioned it last week, it was going to be a
Speaker 1: challenging decision day. But that's what they're paid for, right,
Speaker 1: making the tough decisions, and they feel they've made those
Speaker 1: decisions going forward here. So you know, you could have
Speaker 1: going into the off season. You could have rested on
Speaker 1: what produced some nice numbers last year, and Bobby McCain,
Speaker 1: Kyle van Noy, and Shack Lawson, all three of those
Speaker 1: guys gave you valuable snaps and production. But this league
Speaker 1: is about constant evaluation and pursuing improvement, always always assessing.
Speaker 1: Don't rest on your laurels. And with his defense, you
Speaker 1: want those added dbs because number One, you could wind
Speaker 1: up playing a ton of sub on any given week,
Speaker 1: for instance, the Buffalo Bills go back to Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: They were a very unique team in the NFL last year,
Speaker 1: for instance, and that they ran ten personnel, which is
Speaker 1: one running back, no tight ends, and four receivers going
Speaker 1: to challenge your defensive back depth. Right, They ran that
Speaker 1: package at a clip far greater than anybody else. Even
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, who kind of run that new Age spreads
Speaker 1: scheme with Cliff Kingsbury, they didn't run their ten personnel
Speaker 1: package anywhere near as much as the Buffalo Bills. So
Speaker 1: do you want to keep all your linebackers on the
Speaker 1: field where they're in that four wide package? Not likely?
Speaker 1: And the number two This team is about versatility, right,
Speaker 1: what position shows more versatility than the defensive backs inside? Outside?
Speaker 1: Guys like a Nick Metum who learned that role last
Speaker 1: year inside and did it brilliantly. Know what I Benogamy
Speaker 1: has cross trained. Justin Coleman has played both throughout a
Speaker 1: decorated career so far. Your safety corner hybrid types, Brandon Jones,
Speaker 1: Eric Row and Javon Holland have all played either slot
Speaker 1: or inside at one point in their career. Now they're
Speaker 1: on that kind of safety track, whether the S is
Speaker 1: in front of their name, at their position, group, slot,
Speaker 1: outside safety, they can do a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1: Then you've added a guy like Jason mccordy, and I
Speaker 1: love mccordy for the sake that if we get like
Speaker 1: an end game injury again like last year, a couple
Speaker 1: of times, you would feel good about plugging Jason mccordy
Speaker 1: into flexible role to protect against what happened. For instance,
Speaker 1: when Bobby McCain went down in that Chief's game and
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill scores two touchdowns on the handful of snaps
Speaker 1: where McCain's off the field. I love that mccordy can
Speaker 1: literally slot in any position to me at this stage
Speaker 1: of his career, on top of being a capable of
Speaker 1: starting and producing. On top of that, I think his
Speaker 1: real value might be as kind of your utility player
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, and to keep the
Speaker 1: baseball reference going, you can start him, you know, like
Speaker 1: five of your six games during the week in baseball,
Speaker 1: one game a week here, obviously at five different positions,
Speaker 1: to give guys days off, to give guys, you know,
Speaker 1: a struggling batter a day off, whatever it might be
Speaker 1: that is such a valuable addition to this team among
Speaker 1: many reasons, but I think that one is my favorite
Speaker 1: for Jason mccordy. And as I say this, you know
Speaker 1: about the DBS being the most versatile, I mean, just
Speaker 1: look up front as well. Coverage and the pass rush
Speaker 1: work together right now. In most systems, coverage dictates the front,
Speaker 1: but you can't have one without the other, as we
Speaker 1: heard Coach talk about in that previous sound bite. So
Speaker 1: when you get into those sub packages and try to
Speaker 1: craft game plan specific to your opponent, Let's say you
Speaker 1: want to heat up the quarterback. I mean, how good
Speaker 1: is Sam Aguavina blitzing? Pretty damn good. Let's say you
Speaker 1: want to play more coverage. We mentioned Mahomes and Alan earlier.
Speaker 1: Those are tough quarterbacks, but they aren't the only ones
Speaker 1: you'll have to game plan for this year. You can
Speaker 1: get to your primarily sub defenses and maybe play more coverage.
Speaker 1: After listing those stats against the blitz I showed you earlier,
Speaker 1: at this stage, you can find ways to get more
Speaker 1: pressure with four and I think that's why the Phillips
Speaker 1: addition could wind up being so important. A guy that
Speaker 1: can hopefully develop into a guy that beats one on
Speaker 1: one pass rush situations frequently. Let's look at the schedule
Speaker 1: here for the Miami Dolphins and how that could look
Speaker 1: different against different teams. We mentioned the Buffalo Bills ten
Speaker 1: personnel package, a quarterback that committigate pressure when you get home,
Speaker 1: and once he does that, and you're forced to try
Speaker 1: to plaster on the back end with four on four
Speaker 1: or maybe five on five. Boy, that's a tough ask
Speaker 1: for jah Allen. I mean, look at the first couple
Speaker 1: of series in the season finale last year. Lots of
Speaker 1: dropping seven and it got to him. You shut the
Speaker 1: Bills down for those first three possessions and got a
Speaker 1: pick earlier in that game. Now he adjusted, of course,
Speaker 1: and responded later. And damn it, if you would have
Speaker 1: secured those two picks in the September game, Van noyen
Speaker 1: X had chances it picks with the same idea of
Speaker 1: playing coverage, that would have changed that game for my money,
Speaker 1: and possibly the result of that game. In eleventh win
Speaker 1: on the schedule. I mentioned Patrick Mahomes, but he's not
Speaker 1: on the schedule. How about the Patriots talking about changing
Speaker 1: it up here. They're as flexible as they come, and
Speaker 1: that's what makes them tough because twelve personnel package with
Speaker 1: with Hunter Henry and John Y Smith, the two new
Speaker 1: tight ends they bring him and a heavy dose of
Speaker 1: a a running back like Damien Harris behind that beefy
Speaker 1: offensive line that's so good. We saw it in Week
Speaker 1: one last year. We almost never saw our fifth defensive
Speaker 1: back because they loaded up with backs and tight ends
Speaker 1: and extra offensive lineman. They ran so many six offensive
Speaker 1: lineman packages that Miami. You know in that instance, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to be able to load up with a
Speaker 1: Baker with a atlanda Roberts with a Brand Scarlett, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of similar going up against a team
Speaker 1: we're gonna see later on this year, like the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: Last year for them, it was plenty of twelve personnel
Speaker 1: and we'll see who fills that role that kind of
Speaker 1: Anthony Ferkser played last year as the number two tight
Speaker 1: end and all those two tight end packages because now
Speaker 1: John new Smith has gone to New England. But you
Speaker 1: just have to load up the box against that team
Speaker 1: because of Derrick Henry's presence. You cannot get a hat
Speaker 1: on a hat and beat Derrick Henry with a safety
Speaker 1: coming down to meet him in the gap. Not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Then you've got you know X and Byron ideally to
Speaker 1: match up with the two elite receivers they have in
Speaker 1: a Julio Jones and a j Brown. It changes every week.
Speaker 1: What about the Baltimore Ravens. This might be a team
Speaker 1: you have to uncork some of that maybe big nickel
Speaker 1: or you know, more safety heavy packages and that they
Speaker 1: can cover and give you more size inside against that
Speaker 1: tough run game. And by the way, literally just saw
Speaker 1: us come across the desk. Justice Hill for the Ravens
Speaker 1: tore his achilles today. Man, they're getting killed by injuries.
Speaker 1: But if anyone can overcome it, it's hardbod Costa and
Speaker 1: that team. But yeah, that's the thing. You need to
Speaker 1: be flexible. And look at this Dolphins team and they
Speaker 1: are more adaptable on paper than the previous two Flora's
Speaker 1: teams in twenty nineteen and two. I like that different
Speaker 1: game plans for different teams. That is the idea quick
Speaker 1: hot change here on the podcast. I put this down
Speaker 1: in my notes. I forgot about it. We're gonna go
Speaker 1: back to it. Roster construction. How the Dolphins, fifty three
Speaker 1: men on their roster entered the NFL first round draft picks,
Speaker 1: eight of them, second round draft picks, ten of them,
Speaker 1: third round draft picks, seven fourth rounders to fifth rounders
Speaker 1: one six rounders. There's three of them. Seventh rounders, there's
Speaker 1: three more of them. And the Dolphins have fifteen undrafted players.
Speaker 1: So eight in the first round, fifteen undrafted. That's how
Speaker 1: this league goes. Maybe that's why you continue to turn
Speaker 1: the bottom of the roster developed guys and find those hits,
Speaker 1: because undrafted players make up the majority of the league.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go ahead and finish up here with
Speaker 1: some media that I found interesting from Monday, and we'll
Speaker 1: start here with Brian Flores talking about Miles Gaskin. And
Speaker 1: I loved Coach's answer here when he was asked if
Speaker 1: any one thing jumps out about what Miles really improved
Speaker 1: in the course of this offseason. I mean, first thing
Speaker 1: that comes to my protection, UM, I think he's he's
Speaker 1: really worked hard at that um and made that uh
Speaker 1: a part of his game where um, you know, it's
Speaker 1: he's not a guy that we gotta take out in
Speaker 1: those situations. UM. So that's the first thing that comes
Speaker 1: to mind, and then you know, just his his professionalism.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a guy who's uh,
Speaker 1: you know, in early out late doing extras, whether it's jugs,
Speaker 1: whether it's running routes, whether it's um, you know, film study,
Speaker 1: and um, all the work that he puts in. Ah. Again,
Speaker 1: all the preparation that he uh goes through, UM gives
Speaker 1: him an opportunity to have you know, some success you
Speaker 1: know on the practice field, and then um, I mean
Speaker 1: hopefully in games. So he's done a nice job. We
Speaker 1: saw Miles play or more of the snaps in any
Speaker 1: given game last year in games in which he was healthy. Well,
Speaker 1: that's kind of how you do it. You'll be a
Speaker 1: three down back that can catch the football and pass protect.
Speaker 1: Take another step in that past protection arena. Man, you
Speaker 1: have to like Miles gaskins prospects heading into the season.
Speaker 1: And you know, I love this from the reporters here
Speaker 1: in South Florida on the beat asking Miles Gaskin first
Speaker 1: off the top of question about that answer that coach
Speaker 1: Flora's gave regarding his improvement with past protection. Here's Miles
Speaker 1: on how he was able to do that this offseason.
Speaker 1: Just making it emphasis for myself being a smaller guy. Obviously, Um,
Speaker 1: you're in the league now, Um, so just those guys
Speaker 1: are too, sixty two fifty, so you gotta bringing everything
Speaker 1: you've got east play, and Uh, I think I just
Speaker 1: just kind of dove into it. Coach E and all
Speaker 1: the other running backs, we're always trying to help each other,
Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of brought me along obviously
Speaker 1: when I was younger. Now being able to help the
Speaker 1: younger guys savant obviously, Jared Um just kind of seeing it,
Speaker 1: just seeing it over and over again and seeing what
Speaker 1: I'm good at, and uh, kind of honing in on
Speaker 1: those gives. I'm not going to run the audio here,
Speaker 1: but I thought that Jerome Baker has we kind of
Speaker 1: change gears here was forthright. In his media on Monday,
Speaker 1: he was asked a lot about Mac Jones and preparing
Speaker 1: for him compared to what Cam Newton might have been,
Speaker 1: who of course was released last week, And you know,
Speaker 1: he acknowledged that Cam is more of a running threat.
Speaker 1: But I love that he also acknowledged that Jones isn't
Speaker 1: a typical rookie in the sense that you can expect
Speaker 1: rookie mistakes from those guys because he's a smart player,
Speaker 1: called him a Patriots guy, which very much seems to
Speaker 1: be the case. And I bring this up because I
Speaker 1: heard an interesting point. I'm sure it was Chris Sims,
Speaker 1: and this was something that kind of refuted a point
Speaker 1: that I thought that I had, and I liked hearing
Speaker 1: the perspective from a guy that played in the league
Speaker 1: that the Pats made the declaration when they did so
Speaker 1: so that there's no surprises come game you. That's like,
Speaker 1: that was my perspective, right, good, we don't have to
Speaker 1: prepare for two quarterbacks. But Chris Sims told a great
Speaker 1: story about how one time, when the Patriots lost Tom
Speaker 1: Brady back in OH eight, they brought him in for
Speaker 1: a post will work out, and then after he got
Speaker 1: into the building, they said, hey, Chris, we're really sorry
Speaker 1: about this man, but we're gonna go with Matt Castle
Speaker 1: because we don't want the possible distraction or the possible
Speaker 1: like questions for Matt Castle or for coach every day,
Speaker 1: who's gonna be your quarterback? I thought that was very
Speaker 1: intriguing and definitely a certain advantage for the team that
Speaker 1: announces their quarterback ahead of time. To you know, not
Speaker 1: get the advantage of preparing for two quarterbacks, but it
Speaker 1: also has an inherent advantage for the team that does
Speaker 1: it as well. I thought that was very interesting, had
Speaker 1: not heard that perspective before, but Chris Sims provide that
Speaker 1: for US and the Patriots. Of course, who knows if
Speaker 1: that's the case, but I thought it was very interesting
Speaker 1: to hear that, as they have just made that decision
Speaker 1: here recently to go with one quarterback over the other.
Speaker 1: And I do, however, want to play this audio from
Speaker 1: Jerome on the best way to make things difficult on
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. I mean with any quarterback. It's like
Speaker 1: anything you play, basketball, football, whatever it is. You just
Speaker 1: trying to throw these men looks as you can. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, football is a little different. It's a little harder,
Speaker 1: but you know, you just try to confuse guys and
Speaker 1: uh execute well, line up different um. And it really
Speaker 1: just played a cat and mouse game. You really don't
Speaker 1: know what we're doing. The same you know, same point offense.
Speaker 1: They do the same thing. We don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 1: They try to line up a guy differently, bring them
Speaker 1: back in, bring it back out. Um, you know, try
Speaker 1: to go fast, get us out of personnel. It's the
Speaker 1: game of football that we all know and love. So um,
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're gonna do a little bit of that,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna do a little bit of So at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we've got to coming to execute,
Speaker 1: follow our rules, and play together. So let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and change now from Jerome Baker to Jason mccordy, who
Speaker 1: on that approach defending a rookie quarterback. And this was
Speaker 1: after he was asked about any possible trash talk with
Speaker 1: he and his brother Devin mccordy, And I've mentioned his
Speaker 1: leadership and a role on the team as a conduit
Speaker 1: for the coaching staff onto the field to help convey
Speaker 1: the message, and he said he's just focused on one
Speaker 1: play at a time, which again is right in line
Speaker 1: with that messaging. And I loved how he said the
Speaker 1: trash talking is for the mccordy children, his and Devon's kids,
Speaker 1: going back and forth. Absolutely perfect answer. But he also
Speaker 1: talked about going against a rookie quarterback making his debut.
Speaker 1: Here's Jason mccordy. I think, for the most part, whenever
Speaker 1: you're preparing for an opponent, you don't really want to
Speaker 1: look at their experience. You kind of want to watch
Speaker 1: the film and see what they're telling you on film.
Speaker 1: And as we've gotten a chance to watch Matt throughout
Speaker 1: the preseason, I mean, he's doing a lot of good
Speaker 1: things for them, man. Uh, just the way the subtle
Speaker 1: things he does, the way he moves to defense when
Speaker 1: he's looking off, getting him into the right play at
Speaker 1: the line of scrimash. So I won't say in regards
Speaker 1: to a rookie quarterback this or that. I just think
Speaker 1: we have a tough opponent coming in obviously in the
Speaker 1: division opponent we're going to visit for Week one with
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. There is gonna be a tough game. And
Speaker 1: you can see some of the things early on in
Speaker 1: his career that he's able to do that puts him
Speaker 1: in a good place on offense. So we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to really go out there and execute well. Gosh, sharing
Speaker 1: the guy's breakdown matchups. It's here, baby, Football season is
Speaker 1: officially here. And I told you guys a lie because
Speaker 1: I'm recording this podcast on a Monday evening, and I
Speaker 1: said I wasn't gonna I was gonna finish on that
Speaker 1: last segment. But we have to get to my forty
Speaker 1: four hour drive across the country. And you know what,
Speaker 1: long distance driving isn't as bad as it used to be.
Speaker 1: And the lone reason for that is podcast. Now. I
Speaker 1: brought my BOWS player because U haul trucks do not
Speaker 1: have the adaptable plug ins to put your phone or
Speaker 1: your music or whatever you have on your phone into
Speaker 1: the speakers. So I brought this BOWS player, this portable
Speaker 1: speaker I have. I forgot the charger, but my buddy
Speaker 1: who drove with me, and he knocked out twenty of
Speaker 1: the or rather eighteen of the forty three hours again
Speaker 1: light about the time there. I drove twenty five hours.
Speaker 1: He drove eighteen four days total, nine hours, eleven hours,
Speaker 1: eleven hours and thirteen hours to make that trip across
Speaker 1: the country. But back to the bow situation. He brought
Speaker 1: a charger that plugged into the twelve volt so we
Speaker 1: had the bows the entire time and knocked out probably
Speaker 1: twenty podcast. It was a good time hanging out with
Speaker 1: a long time friend of high school buddy making that
Speaker 1: drive and again that the drive log there with five
Speaker 1: six different stints, a four hour drive, two and a
Speaker 1: half hour drive, four hours two point five three point five,
Speaker 1: three point five and then my five hour drive home
Speaker 1: from Lake City, Florida to Miramar, and you know, it
Speaker 1: was a crazy event. I gotta see the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Royal Stadium right off the highway there. That was really
Speaker 1: cool to see the Tennessee Titan Stadium as well, right
Speaker 1: off the highway, the Red Rocks in Utah. The absolute
Speaker 1: beauty that was the Wyoming countryside, the Tennessee Mountains, My goodness,
Speaker 1: how beautiful is the state of Tennessee. And then Florida
Speaker 1: was kind of the least scenic of the entire drive
Speaker 1: from being honest. Now, granted it was dark late night
Speaker 1: on Sunday night coming home, but there are no lights
Speaker 1: along the turnpike there. But yeah, it's basically just the road.
Speaker 1: And the biggest snag was the fact that we had
Speaker 1: a blown tire in Wyoming on day number two. Blue
Speaker 1: Attire had to call a tire company that was luckily
Speaker 1: just eight miles down the road. How lucky was that?
Speaker 1: But we spent two hours outside the truck just trying
Speaker 1: to entertain ourselves. And I thought this was the best
Speaker 1: part of the trip because we've invented two games it
Speaker 1: was like throwing this milk bottle off the top of
Speaker 1: the U haul truck and you had to catch it
Speaker 1: before we hit the ground. I know it sounds stupid,
Speaker 1: but it just became something we did because we were
Speaker 1: bored and didn't stick on our phones and just you know,
Speaker 1: be introverts that way. Then we had a game where
Speaker 1: you flipped this coffee cup into the cup holder inside
Speaker 1: the truck like stupid little things. Man, it was fun
Speaker 1: to fun to kind of re enact my childhood creativity.
Speaker 1: Like when I was in middle school, my friends and
Speaker 1: I would go into my parents garage and just pick
Speaker 1: random things and use those items to create games. One
Speaker 1: of those was we did a um like curling game
Speaker 1: with a bike tire and ski poles where you had
Speaker 1: to whack the tire and sprint down the road and
Speaker 1: just keep that thing rolling. Sounds stupid, it was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. We also had a game where we
Speaker 1: taped a garbage can to a batting helmet and then
Speaker 1: had to take this stick with an attached net to
Speaker 1: the end of it and throw a hackey sack into
Speaker 1: the cup or into the can rather with the guy
Speaker 1: having it on his head. It's just to me. It
Speaker 1: was nice to know that childish creativity is still in
Speaker 1: there when you have to unearth it. But a lot
Speaker 1: of fun on the drive. Some really boring moments as well,
Speaker 1: but plenty of good hotels, some good coffee, and just
Speaker 1: you know, saying what's up to the other U halls
Speaker 1: on the road a good time. And I think best
Speaker 1: of all was the fact that for four days I
Speaker 1: was kind of able to disconnect from my phone. I
Speaker 1: highly recommend doing that if you haven't done so lately,
Speaker 1: get off social media for a little bit. It can
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. Lastly, Washington State goes down
Speaker 1: to Utah State. Boo. The Huskies loose to Montana. That's
Speaker 1: pretty good. But that's the end of my weekend fund drive.
Speaker 1: Asked me any questions you want about it on Twitter.
Speaker 1: We have a busy week coming up for you guys here,
Speaker 1: including game preview on Thursday and the Friday kind of
Speaker 1: Hodgepodge podcast with a mail bag. So put some questions
