Speaker 1: Factors as Patrick Drawing, Parker tuxpower. What a win for
Speaker 1: this Miami Dolphin team. Wow? What is up? Dolphins? And
Speaker 1: welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part of the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins official podcast network, covering your Miami Dolphins each and
Speaker 1: every day. How is it going, everybody? I am your host,
Speaker 1: Travis Wingfield, and I am here to bring you your
Speaker 1: daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. And on today's show,
Speaker 1: with training camp just about three weeks away, we'll look
Speaker 1: ahead at some of the most intriguing camp battles to come.
Speaker 1: I try to understand a graph on force and acceleration.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why camping is the worst. And we're
Speaker 1: talking all things fireworks, both on and off the football field,
Speaker 1: all of that more on this Monday, July the sixth
Speaker 1: edition of the Drive Time Podcasts, and training camp is
Speaker 1: merely three weeks away, give or take depending on the
Speaker 1: report date of the particular team. We'll find out more
Speaker 1: about the Miami Dolphins here in the coming days and
Speaker 1: weeks on training camp. But every year we see the
Speaker 1: countdown to the regular season opener as kind of this
Speaker 1: grand number we're all looking forward to. But I always
Speaker 1: view the first day of camp as the start of
Speaker 1: the season, especially now in this role, being on hand
Speaker 1: there in Davy and after last year getting down to
Speaker 1: training camp on my own accord with the Lockdown podcast network,
Speaker 1: that was to me like a kid in a candy
Speaker 1: store scenario. Everywhere you look, pretty much in your entire
Speaker 1: periphery with two football fields from goal line to goal one,
Speaker 1: You've got drills, position groups, coaches, star players out there.
Speaker 1: When you're a real fan of the game, I just
Speaker 1: don't think you can get any better than that, and
Speaker 1: you certainly can't replicate it. Of course, on Sundays, we
Speaker 1: all live for Sundays in the National Football League. But
Speaker 1: those training camp practices, man, there are a lot of
Speaker 1: fun to get out there and go see. So the
Speaker 1: best time of year for me is nearly upon us
Speaker 1: camp and we'll talk about my favorite camp battles that
Speaker 1: are set to take place on the battlefield out there
Speaker 1: in Davy. But first let me just really walk back.
Speaker 1: I guess this take that I put out there on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and I think I sent it out on the fourth
Speaker 1: of July itself, which is kind of sacrilege here, I think,
Speaker 1: especially in Washington State. But I want to put context
Speaker 1: on it because I didn't actually go camping over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I said that camping is objectively the worst, and the
Speaker 1: word objectively is important there because I would argue that
Speaker 1: it's actually an an arguable fact. There were plenty of
Speaker 1: replies in there, some agreeing, some disagreeing. I saw a
Speaker 1: few mentions of glamping, which I had to look up
Speaker 1: what that is. But I agree with those folks because
Speaker 1: therein lies the exact reason why camping is, to me, well,
Speaker 1: the worst. Now, out here in the Pacific Northwest, you're
Speaker 1: really never more than a hundred miles or so away
Speaker 1: from the mountains, so it gets cool outside fast. It
Speaker 1: was an hour drive for us to get from eighty
Speaker 1: five degrees all the way up to sixty five degrees
Speaker 1: up in the mountains, and you just can't beat that scenery.
Speaker 1: This is not a knock on nature. I happen to
Speaker 1: love nature, love getting out there and going for long
Speaker 1: walks or hikes, and that's why this trip actually was
Speaker 1: not bad at all. I really enjoyed myself out in
Speaker 1: the wild. My wife's family are the very outdoorsy types.
Speaker 1: They are to the tea people that want to get
Speaker 1: out there and go camping, and that's just not who
Speaker 1: I am. Different strokes for different folks. That's totally fine.
Speaker 1: And the beautiful part of having a child, as you
Speaker 1: moms and dads out there would know, is the built
Speaker 1: an excuse to get out of literally anything you want.
Speaker 1: So my wife proposes the idea that we go out
Speaker 1: there and meet up with her family who are camped
Speaker 1: up in the mountains for the entire weekend, and that
Speaker 1: we go for a few hours. And I figure, you
Speaker 1: know what, I don't want to go. Obviously, it's not
Speaker 1: my favorite thing to do. But if she's willing to
Speaker 1: move across the country with me, the very least I
Speaker 1: can do is spend a few hours in the mountains.
Speaker 1: And because she knows I loathe camping so much, I
Speaker 1: just made it a point to not complain about the
Speaker 1: whole thing at all. But this was entirely fine because
Speaker 1: I had a few beers played some parlor games. Have
Speaker 1: you guys ever heard of the game called can jam.
Speaker 1: It's basically what amounts to a small short garbage can
Speaker 1: with the frisbee, and you have two on two and
Speaker 1: your teammate stands on the other side and you throw
Speaker 1: a frisbee at him and you try to hit this
Speaker 1: can and he can like alley you put into the can,
Speaker 1: or if you make it in on your own, you
Speaker 1: get certain points assigned to you accordingly. So we drove up,
Speaker 1: had a nice podcast, had the little one was sleeping
Speaker 1: the entire way up there and the entire way back.
Speaker 1: Got up there, played a couple of games, had a
Speaker 1: couple of drinks. Then we got out of there, so
Speaker 1: a nice little reset, get away from the phones, and
Speaker 1: then boom, you get right back to your bed, your
Speaker 1: air conditioning, your internet, all the amenities that really, quite
Speaker 1: frankly take over your life. Won't you become inundated with them?
Speaker 1: So I can understand the need or the the desire
Speaker 1: for that reset. But that was about a three hour
Speaker 1: deal up there, actually camping quote unquote, not counting the drive.
Speaker 1: That's the maximum amount of time that I find it
Speaker 1: to be fun for me. And the comment that I
Speaker 1: saw that I thought was really dead on was I
Speaker 1: don't work all week just to go strip away all
Speaker 1: the things I work for on the weekend, And that
Speaker 1: exactly right. It there is my point, because you can't
Speaker 1: tell me that sitting around in a circle with nothing
Speaker 1: to look at other than each other. Nowhere to go,
Speaker 1: not great food to eat is better than having door
Speaker 1: dash and streaming services, air conditioning, a chase lounge with
Speaker 1: my cozy pellow and blanket. It's just it's a no
Speaker 1: for me, man. Camping is a no for me. Now.
Speaker 1: Training camp, when it comes to football, that is for me.
Speaker 1: And this is something we haven't dove dived divin doven
Speaker 1: into it. We haven't dived into training camp previews or
Speaker 1: camp battles since I took the reins on this podcast.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and talk about some training camp battles.
Speaker 1: We gotta preface this with every single job is up
Speaker 1: for grabs. That's the basis of the program. You will
Speaker 1: compete and you will not have anything handed to you
Speaker 1: as a Miami Dolphin, that's most teams around the league, right,
Speaker 1: but it's especially true for Brian Flores and this Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins team. And I think we learned that abundantly clear
Speaker 1: last season, Flor's first in Miami and shoot, even being
Speaker 1: out there last year, there were a few surprises in
Speaker 1: the lineups through the course of the first couple of
Speaker 1: weeks of camp veterans that were considered maybe written in
Speaker 1: Penn into the starting lineup by some of the fan base,
Speaker 1: and those guys are running with the two's. It's where
Speaker 1: I first reported that Nick Needham was getting some time
Speaker 1: with the ones before eventually starting that preseason opener. And
Speaker 1: of course that experience would serve him well, as he
Speaker 1: would play a lot more later on in the season.
Speaker 1: And speaking of cornerbacks, and we're gonna do a whole
Speaker 1: thing on defensive backs to close this podcast. But I
Speaker 1: know it was my first camp, but I would venture
Speaker 1: a guest that Xavien Howard last year was the best
Speaker 1: camp performer a lot of these long time reporters in
Speaker 1: South Florida have seen on this team. He was so
Speaker 1: damn dominant. Stuff like that is what really makes camp
Speaker 1: fun to me. To see a guy grab a pick,
Speaker 1: then get a pass breakup, and then they gather up
Speaker 1: for eleven on eleven and he snatches another one. It
Speaker 1: was constant. It was fun to watch a star player
Speaker 1: perfect his craft in practice like x did last summer.
Speaker 1: So training camp is important for many reasons, but of
Speaker 1: course sorting out these battles is one of the go
Speaker 1: to things you look for at training camp. And let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and start here at the quarterback position. That's
Speaker 1: where you always start in this league, right, That's the
Speaker 1: obvious part. And I don't think it's hyperbole to say
Speaker 1: that this is the most talent that Dolphins have had
Speaker 1: in the quarterback room and quite some time. From top
Speaker 1: to bottom. You've got a guy who's thrown for thirty
Speaker 1: three thousand yards and two ten touchdowns in his NFL career,
Speaker 1: and whose best two years of his career came at
Speaker 1: age thirty six and age thirty seven, and for good measure,
Speaker 1: the third best year of his career for my money,
Speaker 1: at age thirty three. Back in with Fitzpatrick and the Jets,
Speaker 1: and you know what Fits is going to look like
Speaker 1: in camp. He's gonna be on time with the ball,
Speaker 1: with his reads, He's usually gonna be on target. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have the offense operating in an efficient and correct manner,
Speaker 1: getting the plays called in and out of the huddle,
Speaker 1: getting guys to the right spot. You just don't really
Speaker 1: have to worry about Ryan Fitzpatrick. He has seen it all.
Speaker 1: You've also got a top ten pick just two years
Speaker 1: ago in Josh Rosen, who made some big time splash
Speaker 1: throws down the field. Last year in camp, particularly going
Speaker 1: deep to Preston Williams. And I thought Josh's best moments
Speaker 1: in camp last year came during the live periods, in
Speaker 1: the critical situations, the red zone, two minute drill, that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. I'm excited to watch him in year
Speaker 1: two in Miami and see the growth he's made the
Speaker 1: Florence reference. Throughout the season last year, whether it was
Speaker 1: practice or on the game day field, whatever it was,
Speaker 1: Flores talked a lot about his growth, both mentally and physically.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see that play out in training camp.
Speaker 1: And of course, the fifth overall pick in the draft
Speaker 1: into a tongue of voloa. You don't spend the fifth
Speaker 1: pick on a quarterback that is not supremely talented, or
Speaker 1: a player at any position for that matter. The fifth
Speaker 1: best player in the draft figures to be pretty good, right,
Speaker 1: and that's who too is the fifth pick in this
Speaker 1: year's draft. Highest passer efficiency in college football history for
Speaker 1: a career. The ball placement, the ability to get through
Speaker 1: his progressions quickly and replace blitzers with the football, pick up,
Speaker 1: the coverage rotation, disguise or find dis guy's in the
Speaker 1: coverage and go to the right spot with the ball.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch him sort through this offense
Speaker 1: in his rookie year and watch him take those steps
Speaker 1: we talked about with Rosen. Then you've got Jake Rudoc,
Speaker 1: who has done a really good job here in Miami
Speaker 1: of giving the third team of fair Shake a fair
Speaker 1: look from the coaching staff. And by that I mean
Speaker 1: being efficient in his communication, not wasting reps because of
Speaker 1: knowledge gaps, getting the football out on time. We've all
Speaker 1: seen plenty of NFL preseason games that just aren't watchable
Speaker 1: late in the game, and that didn't happen here in
Speaker 1: Miami last year because Jake Rudoc. He was quite the opposite.
Speaker 1: Actually some really nice fourth quarter moments last August in
Speaker 1: those exhibition games. And that was true in Camp two,
Speaker 1: and that's true because of Jake Rudoc. I really liked
Speaker 1: this quarterback room from one to four. I think they
Speaker 1: all give their teammates a chance to be a better
Speaker 1: players out on the practice field. So it's Fitzpatrick's jobs
Speaker 1: to lose, his job to lose, but he's got to
Speaker 1: bring it every day because these young puffs they're gonna
Speaker 1: push him. We go back into the backfield and take
Speaker 1: a look at the jobs up for grabs here in
Speaker 1: this backfield. Again, every position up for apps, but I
Speaker 1: think the running back three position is the one that
Speaker 1: I'm most intrigued by in this group because I'm a
Speaker 1: big Miles Gaskin fan. Maybe it's the Pack twelve bias
Speaker 1: in me, but I also got Patrick Laird from Cal
Speaker 1: in that group as well. I thought Gaskin looked sharp
Speaker 1: last year when he got a little bit more chance
Speaker 1: to carry the football, to catch the football late. Of course,
Speaker 1: he suffers that injury in the Bengals game. That was
Speaker 1: a bummer because I thought he was really picking it
Speaker 1: up in that game. We talked about Patrick Laird. He
Speaker 1: shows you what he can do in the passing games,
Speaker 1: some of his skills there as a multifaceted back. Caitlin
Speaker 1: Balage coming back for his third season now, also a
Speaker 1: Pack twelve guy out of Arizona State, Chandler Cox a fullback,
Speaker 1: but that's kind of an independent position. As far as
Speaker 1: the third running back spot. Then you've got Malcolm Perry,
Speaker 1: who just adds a whole another dynamic to your offense.
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited to see which of those guys
Speaker 1: can really push both Jordan Howard and Matt Brita and
Speaker 1: get onto the football field for some meaningful reps come
Speaker 1: the season at the tight end position. The tight end too,
Speaker 1: spot is what I'm looking at. We know what Mike
Speaker 1: Kasicki is an ultimate seambuster, a big time receiving threat
Speaker 1: down the field. Durham Smith, Michael Roberts, Chris Myrick, and
Speaker 1: Bryce Stirk the undrafted free agent gonna flip over from
Speaker 1: the defensive side to play tight end. I was a
Speaker 1: big fan of meyer Rick last year in camp, thought
Speaker 1: he earned that right to be on the practice squad
Speaker 1: because of some solid work he did both inside and
Speaker 1: down the field. And to round out the group the
Speaker 1: U d f a Bryce Stirk and the signing back
Speaker 1: in February of Michael Roberts, formerly of the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: So in that group a good mix of guys that
Speaker 1: can both be receivers down the football field or stay
Speaker 1: in line and block and help the running game that way.
Speaker 1: I want to see how that group battles and competes
Speaker 1: for playing time at tight end, then out wide at
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Basically to see how the entire wide receiver
Speaker 1: corps unfold behind Davanta Parker and for Davanta obviously putting
Speaker 1: together back to back good seasons, that's the challenge he faces.
Speaker 1: But I'm excited to see how Preston Williams looks coming
Speaker 1: back this year after a really strong first half of
Speaker 1: the season. Albert Wilson kind of the converse of that.
Speaker 1: He finishes the season strong, got plenty of opportunities and
Speaker 1: that Bengals game made some guys missed in the open field.
Speaker 1: Cast him those little short, flat routes where it's basically
Speaker 1: putting him in a one on one position to make
Speaker 1: a move in the open field, and he did well
Speaker 1: to pretty much leave some jockstraps on the ground doing that.
Speaker 1: I want to see how he looks coming back in
Speaker 1: year two off the hip injury. Jachim Grant had the
Speaker 1: off season, the videos, all the stuff he showed us,
Speaker 1: the quick, sudden movement. We talked to him on the
Speaker 1: podcast last week about his game. I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: where he shows up this year. Isaiah Ford finished out
Speaker 1: the year very strong, earned some praise from the coaching
Speaker 1: staff for the ability to do that, but also helps
Speaker 1: some guys get lined up in the right spots in
Speaker 1: this Miami offense when maybe some guys were missing and
Speaker 1: they had to elevate some younger guys into the lineup.
Speaker 1: And then of course Alan Hearns gets the extension. You
Speaker 1: go back and watch some of the games last year,
Speaker 1: the broadcast crew from their production meetings and their meetings
Speaker 1: with Brian Flores and Ryan Fitzpatrick talks about how dependable
Speaker 1: on how solid Alan Hearns was so from one to
Speaker 1: six there as terms of those guys, you feel good,
Speaker 1: but I'm curious to see how that shakes out with
Speaker 1: the reps, the positions where they all play, and of
Speaker 1: course I cannot get enough the one on one drills
Speaker 1: with receivers up against cornerbacks, this entire receiver group. I
Speaker 1: am so pumped to watch them practice and see what
Speaker 1: they look like. And again where they all play, how
Speaker 1: many reps they get, that type of thing. You also
Speaker 1: got some guys that are trying to, you know, make
Speaker 1: a name for themselves in the league. Mac Hollins, he
Speaker 1: does some things on special teams, got some run with
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Dolphins last year. Gary Jennings went
Speaker 1: down the first game he was in Miami, but he
Speaker 1: was a really good college player Ricardo Lewis trying to
Speaker 1: get back from the injury last year. A couple of
Speaker 1: undrafted guys and Kirk Merritt and Matt Cole fund receiver
Speaker 1: group here in Miami. But I'm just really curious to
Speaker 1: see how it shakes out behind Parker there at the
Speaker 1: top of the rotation on the offensive line, I mean,
Speaker 1: pretty much every position out there up for grabs. Right
Speaker 1: We have a bunch of news starters, are new free
Speaker 1: agents and rookies coming here. Uh to the offensive line.
Speaker 1: I want to see how Austin Jackson works right away
Speaker 1: at left tackle, see if he's up for the challenge
Speaker 1: of playing there. Eric Flowers, his transition to guard last
Speaker 1: year was a good one. Can't wait to see the
Speaker 1: physicality he brings there at center. Ted Carriss, the way
Speaker 1: he communicates is going to be so crucial the right
Speaker 1: side of the off pensive line. Who gets the first
Speaker 1: crack at right guard, right tackle, those spots. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this, Jesse Davis. If you're gonna want Jesse Davis's job,
Speaker 1: you better take it from him, because that guy is
Speaker 1: a veteran. He's been around the block. He's durable, he's dependable,
Speaker 1: and he does things the way this coaching staff wants
Speaker 1: him to earn that extension. Was a really valuable part
Speaker 1: of the locker room last year, and he finished out
Speaker 1: the season very strong at right tackle. Down the stretch
Speaker 1: when Miami's played kind of got better as a team.
Speaker 1: I'm just really curious to see where he shakes out
Speaker 1: at the end of this camp and where they want
Speaker 1: to get their best five on the field. Where that
Speaker 1: best five means for Jesse Davis, because you've got so
Speaker 1: much position flexibility with he, with Robert Hunt, we talked
Speaker 1: about Ted Carriss and Eric Flower's playing all over the
Speaker 1: offensive line. I just want to see how they get
Speaker 1: the best five out there. Doesn't include Michael Dieter, doesn't
Speaker 1: include Julian Davenport, some of the guys they brought in
Speaker 1: last year, like an Adam Panky, Danny Eata, Dora, Keith Keaton, Sutherland,
Speaker 1: Shot Calhoun, all these guys played. You've got three undrafted
Speaker 1: free agents. How does this line shake out? How many
Speaker 1: do they keep and who are the best five and
Speaker 1: how do they put them on the field from left
Speaker 1: tackle all the way to right tackle. Plenty of intrigue
Speaker 1: to watch there down by that T N T wall
Speaker 1: at training camp. On the defensive side, to me, things
Speaker 1: will look a little bit more clear because of how
Speaker 1: fluid they are. And I know that kind of sounds
Speaker 1: like a like the ultimate contradiction, but if that makes
Speaker 1: kind of sense. On offense, you can have a receiver
Speaker 1: lineup at multiple positions, but in general, there's plenty of
Speaker 1: overlap there. A quarterback is always a quarterback. A left
Speaker 1: guard is always going to be a left guard. Those
Speaker 1: guys are playing one position. You've got some flexibility at
Speaker 1: tied end and running back and receiver, of course, but
Speaker 1: not nearly as much as you get on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball, especially in a scheme that is
Speaker 1: not dependent on any one core philosophy outside of just
Speaker 1: being fundamentally sound on the football field. I mean, we're
Speaker 1: talking about upwards of a hundred different jobs on the defense.
Speaker 1: When you consider positions, slant leverage, where you might play
Speaker 1: your role on that particular play. There are seemingly countless permutations.
Speaker 1: And that's why I think this is a little bit
Speaker 1: more fluid and less intriguing as far as who takes
Speaker 1: like a starting job, because I think the term starter
Speaker 1: on defense in this defense is a very loose and
Speaker 1: probably even outdated term for the defense. So we know
Speaker 1: Christian Wilkins up front, He's gonna play a lot. Brian
Speaker 1: Flores has talked about how big of a part of
Speaker 1: the future he is here in Miami. That is a given.
Speaker 1: Davon got Shaw is probably one of the most transparent
Speaker 1: players on the entire roster. You know what you get
Speaker 1: monster against the running game, strong powerful led the league
Speaker 1: last year and run stops via Pro Football Focus, Shack Lawson,
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Ogba to free agent gets, they're gonna play a lot.
Speaker 1: Both tremendous scheme fits. But from there, that's when I
Speaker 1: get really intrigued as far as the rotation battle and
Speaker 1: how that shakes out. Who finds themselves in line for
Speaker 1: more work in which packages on the defensive line. I
Speaker 1: was super impressed with Zach Seeler late in the year
Speaker 1: last year. I think he can play multiple spots up front.
Speaker 1: We know what Ray Kuan Davis is capable of. Greer
Speaker 1: and Flores traded up to go get Jason Strowbridge, and
Speaker 1: then you've got a couple of undrafted free agents with
Speaker 1: Lima and Jones. That's Ray Lima and Benito Jones, and
Speaker 1: he also got der Val Netto, so two good u
Speaker 1: D f ase and then with Netto a guy who
Speaker 1: was an absolute tank, just a monster of a human
Speaker 1: that has that jiu jitsu background. He had that year
Speaker 1: of seasoning coming over last year as the part of
Speaker 1: the International Pathway program. Curious to see how he looks
Speaker 1: and your number two after a full year of seasoning
Speaker 1: on the practice squad off the edge, I mean, how
Speaker 1: many ways do you cut this thing here? Because we
Speaker 1: know Vince Beagle's got nice arsenal of rush moves. We
Speaker 1: know Andrew van Ginckel, a former Wisconsin Badger, like Beagle himself,
Speaker 1: is well versed as a blitzer and coverage guy off
Speaker 1: that edge. Commu Gruge Hill has tons of pop in
Speaker 1: all phases of the game. Ray Kawa McMillan played some
Speaker 1: sliding down last year off the edge in a quasi
Speaker 1: sam backer role. He can do more of that than
Speaker 1: he did in years prior under previous coaching staffs. Jerome
Speaker 1: Baker can play out there. Kyle van Neu, we know,
Speaker 1: can play anywhere on the defense in the front seven.
Speaker 1: Trent Harris and Avery Moss both played a lot last
Speaker 1: year Curtis Weaver had the college sack production. Tyshan render
Speaker 1: a nice u DF signing. U d F A signing.
Speaker 1: You've got a couple of thousand snaps to really divvy
Speaker 1: up here at the linebacker and edge positions. I'm curious
Speaker 1: to see how that works out, because with all the packages,
Speaker 1: all the fronts, all the different skill sets, it's really
Speaker 1: just basically Brian Flores and Josh Boyer and those guys
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. We don't. I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: what it looks like on the football field. In the secondary,
Speaker 1: the battle for the slot is one that I really
Speaker 1: want to watch as much as any. On the defense,
Speaker 1: You've got X and Jones outside row and Bobby McCain
Speaker 1: as safety, and that's four guys that make up your
Speaker 1: core defensive backfield. But we know better than to just
Speaker 1: put four dbs on the field and call that a day,
Speaker 1: because that's not football. You need a nickel back a
Speaker 1: solid seventy of the time. You need a third safety
Speaker 1: at least half the time, give or take, and probably
Speaker 1: even more if you're playing that big nickel with two
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and three safety's on the field, does Adrian Colbert
Speaker 1: continue his strong finish to the season. Where does rookie
Speaker 1: Brandon Jones figure in in the slot position, Nick need Um,
Speaker 1: Noah igbanag Any, all the safeties in general that can
Speaker 1: come down and cover, and really among the incumbents, so
Speaker 1: many guys that had flashes last year at different times
Speaker 1: of the season. Ryan Lewis had some big plays. Tay
Speaker 1: Hayes finished out the year very strong. Jamal Perry formerly
Speaker 1: Jamal Wilts. I loved his tackling and aggressiveness in that
Speaker 1: slot position. Stephen Parker had a big pick in the
Speaker 1: Indie game Cavon Fraser Clayton Federalum. So really, the sub packages,
Speaker 1: that's where I'm curious to see how Flora's and Boyer
Speaker 1: and Gerald Alexander want to roll out those sub packages
Speaker 1: in the defensive backfield. I let's go ahead and stick
Speaker 1: right there as we try to seamlessly transition into our
Speaker 1: next topic. I had a chance to watch a lot
Speaker 1: more football over the weekend, as we tend to do
Speaker 1: during COVID nineteen, just watching plenty of football, and in
Speaker 1: particular I watched Texas and Auburn, with two of our
Speaker 1: high draft picks in the defensive backfield and Noah IgG
Speaker 1: Banogeny and watched him up against Alabama and L s U. Again,
Speaker 1: because I've seen these tapes a few times, but just
Speaker 1: watching the way he competes. We've heard the Auburn coaching
Speaker 1: staff talk about how competitive he is and the mentality
Speaker 1: of competition that he brought to that roster and how
Speaker 1: they just couldn't raigh enough about his ability to get
Speaker 1: guys up around him with that competitive spirit. You watch
Speaker 1: the way he challenged all those good receivers, whether it
Speaker 1: was Terrence Marshall, Jamaar Chase, Justin Jefferson, Jalen Waddle, DeVonta Smith,
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, Henry Ruggs. I mean, you're talking about multiple
Speaker 1: first round draft picks at worst, all of them top
Speaker 1: first or second round draft picks, and he competes up
Speaker 1: against all these guys and just brings that competitive spirit.
Speaker 1: And you see the exact same thing there and Brandon
Speaker 1: Jones going up against L. S U. Man there were
Speaker 1: some flashes, as he is wont to do on the tape,
Speaker 1: he always pops off, but going up against just Justin
Speaker 1: Jefferson in that L s U game, a first round
Speaker 1: draft pick, there of the Minnesota Vikings. He competed and
Speaker 1: really hung well with number two. That was fun to watch.
Speaker 1: Also got a chance to watch some Byron Jones over
Speaker 1: the weekend because the Cowboys are almost always on the
Speaker 1: replay of NFL Network. The way he communicates and disrupts
Speaker 1: multiple passing lanes on any him play when he's in zone,
Speaker 1: or of course when he's in man locking guys up.
Speaker 1: But I saw this clip, this video thread from John
Speaker 1: Ledyard on Twitter. I think he's at Ledyard NFL Draft
Speaker 1: talking about Lavonte David of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Of course,
Speaker 1: different position, but same idea. The way he passes off
Speaker 1: and communicates and gets into multiple different passing lanes. You
Speaker 1: see that so many times with Brandon Jones. So these
Speaker 1: three additions I think really give you depth and strength
Speaker 1: in the secondary for the Miami Dolphins. And it got
Speaker 1: me thinking about the matchups we're gonna see on the
Speaker 1: schedule this year. A quick rundown of the receivers up
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins defensive backs or the past catchers in
Speaker 1: general up against Miami's loaded defensive backfield. We start with
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and first let's go ahead and talk about
Speaker 1: Cam Newton for a second, and the kind of offense
Speaker 1: you might see there with him. That's a big addition
Speaker 1: to that offensive arsenal there. For the Patriots. Going to
Speaker 1: Cam Newton at the quarterback position, they drafted two tight ends.
Speaker 1: They got Matt Lacosse, who's kind of a throwback tight
Speaker 1: end that can stay in line and block. And the
Speaker 1: real strength of that offense is the offensive line really
Speaker 1: strong from left tackle all the way to right tackle
Speaker 1: and probably the best interior offensive line in the league.
Speaker 1: They're also good and deep at tail back, and with
Speaker 1: Cam coming into the fold, you could have way more
Speaker 1: quarterback power, quarterback leads some draws. It gives you an
Speaker 1: extra body in the running game, So you think maybe
Speaker 1: you build around the strengths that way, and you might
Speaker 1: see more guys like ray Kwon McMillan and you Land
Speaker 1: and Roberts in this game compared to the six or
Speaker 1: seven or eight defensive backpackages you'll see normally from a
Speaker 1: Brian Flora's defense. Or it could be the opposite. You
Speaker 1: just do not know what the New England Patriots, but
Speaker 1: if it is, I love the way the Dolphins match
Speaker 1: up with Jones and X and Igbo and need Hum
Speaker 1: and McCain and Row and Brandon Jones for that matter.
Speaker 1: The whole squad back there matches up with Edelman, who's
Speaker 1: an inside slot guy, and you can probably cap him
Speaker 1: with the safety if you want to, and then let
Speaker 1: your true lockdown corners on the outside do their thing
Speaker 1: on some noon to kill Harry, Jacoby, Myers, Marquis Lee.
Speaker 1: I like those matchups a lot now Buffalo week to
Speaker 1: present some challenges. Not that I don't think the Fins
Speaker 1: wouldn't be up to it, but damn, this is strength
Speaker 1: on strength, the reason you go to the ballpark to
Speaker 1: watch these teams play. Stefon Diggs is the best route
Speaker 1: runner in football for my money. Cole Beasley is terrific
Speaker 1: at attacking leverage and showing his numbers to the quarterback
Speaker 1: in the soft spots of the zone. John Brown has
Speaker 1: that speed element to really help displace the defense and
Speaker 1: stretch guys out. Eric Rowe locked up Dawson Knox last year,
Speaker 1: so I like that matchup, but both those backs can
Speaker 1: be a problem in single Tarry and Moss. I'm really
Speaker 1: excited to see how we go up against a Buffalo
Speaker 1: team that's just a bit further along in the timeline
Speaker 1: of their process under Sean McDermott in week three. Jacksonville
Speaker 1: feels pretty similar here for me as week number one.
Speaker 1: I think they might want to go a little more
Speaker 1: smash mouth, but they do have DJ Shark, who is
Speaker 1: buttery smooth on the outside, a smart route runner who
Speaker 1: can get in and out of his brakes and really
Speaker 1: go to work that way. But you can always double
Speaker 1: him and take your chances with the rest and Keelan Cole,
Speaker 1: Chris Conley, Leaviska Chanal and the rest of those boys there.
Speaker 1: Week four Seattle, I love, love love those top two
Speaker 1: guys on the depth chart and Tyler Locke in DK Metcalf,
Speaker 1: But this is where Miami's depth really benefits the home
Speaker 1: team in this matchup. In Seattle's receiving corps for numbers
Speaker 1: three through five in San Francisco, Deebo Samuel is an
Speaker 1: absolute beast, but we'll see if he's ready to go
Speaker 1: coming back from that broken foot he had over the
Speaker 1: summer mark He's goodwin. Emanuel Sanders gone, Kendrick Bourne's nice player,
Speaker 1: Trent Taylor, Dante Pettis. It will be important for them
Speaker 1: to get Brandon a UK up to speed quickly, but
Speaker 1: it's George Kittle and the ground game there, that's where
Speaker 1: it starts. That's where you have to match up against
Speaker 1: the Niners Denver. We talked about this on Friday. Jerry Judy,
Speaker 1: kJ Hamler, Courtland Sutton, Noah fant as talented as any,
Speaker 1: although largely unproven outside of Sutton, who had a breakout
Speaker 1: season last year. That would be a fun one to
Speaker 1: watch the Chargers from l A week number seven for
Speaker 1: that game, Keenan Allen is so awesome. I would say
Speaker 1: he's number two behind Stefon Diggs, if not number one
Speaker 1: as a route runner. I just double him and be
Speaker 1: done with that. Mike Williams a big matchup there for
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and you've got Eric Rowe on Hunter Henry
Speaker 1: another good Premier matchup there in that game. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams the next week. This is another
Speaker 1: team like Buffalo and Denver that can really match up
Speaker 1: with Miami's depth. Cooper Cup is so tough, Robert Woods
Speaker 1: is crafty and explosive. I think Van Jefferson is gonna
Speaker 1: be a really good one. They can go too tight
Speaker 1: with Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee and get matchup problems
Speaker 1: on you that way. That's a tough challenge there as
Speaker 1: well for the Miami Dolphins secondary. And then I think
Speaker 1: the biggest challenge on the entire schedule is the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals New Hopkins probably the best receiver in all of football.
Speaker 1: It's either him, Michael Thomas or Julio Jones. From my money,
Speaker 1: Larry Legend will forever be a problem no matter where
Speaker 1: he is or how old he is. That guy just
Speaker 1: gets it done. Christian Kirk, Andy Isabella, even a Kim
Speaker 1: Butler and Trent Sherfield on that roster. I am so, so,
Speaker 1: so very bullish on this Cardinals team, probably the most
Speaker 1: options to attack you on the schedule so far, maybe
Speaker 1: the entire schedule. The Jets love this matchup for Miami.
Speaker 1: Best receiver is an inside guy and Jamison Crowder Denzel
Speaker 1: Mims a good looking rookie. They signed Brashad Perriman, and
Speaker 1: then they'll probably have to sort the rest out in
Speaker 1: camp there. But the Dolphins match up well the Bengals
Speaker 1: A J Green and Tyler Boyd is about as good
Speaker 1: as you can get for an inside outside duo as
Speaker 1: there is in the NFL. They gotta find the other spot,
Speaker 1: whether it's t Higgins or John Ross if he can
Speaker 1: stay healthy. A lot of these receiver corps were running
Speaker 1: into might be more about future growth, and that bodes
Speaker 1: well for the Fins this year, as I think this
Speaker 1: defensive backfield is already pretty well established in the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: We all know about this group. Hill and Kelsey basically
Speaker 1: means you can't double those guys if you play man
Speaker 1: against Mahomes. Good luck to Marcus Robinson could probably start
Speaker 1: for some teams, but he's fighting for balls as the
Speaker 1: fourth receiver and maybe fifth or sixth option behind Kelsey
Speaker 1: or a guy like Clyde Edwards Hilaire. They got me
Speaker 1: Cole Hardman, Sammy Watkins, Damian Williams at their disposal, plenty
Speaker 1: of weapons for Patrick Mahomes and then finally Las Vegas
Speaker 1: they added some speed man and Henry Ruggs. Tyrelle Williams
Speaker 1: was off to a great start last year. Hunter Renfrew
Speaker 1: was just always open, really technical player that way. They
Speaker 1: add Nelson Aglare with Darren Waller there as well as
Speaker 1: one of the better pass catching tight ends that could
Speaker 1: be a tough matchup as well. So all things told,
Speaker 1: let's see. We got Chiefs, Cardinals, Bills twice, possibly Denver,
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, and the Rams. Some teams that can match
Speaker 1: up their depth with the receivers and tight ends up
Speaker 1: against Miami's defensive backs. But for the most part, I
Speaker 1: like a lot of these matchups for the Dolphins defense
Speaker 1: in Okay, what else we got here? Some stuff to
Speaker 1: look at from Twitter over the weekend, a couple of
Speaker 1: threads I went ahead and shared, or some posts that
Speaker 1: I talked about on Twitter over the weekend. You can
Speaker 1: follow me at Wingfield NFL for all my great Twitter takes.
Speaker 1: And there was a chart that someone posted up on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I'll get his handle here in just one second. The
Speaker 1: title of the chart was forced versus momentum for NFL
Speaker 1: linebackers on running plays, and I love this analytical data.
Speaker 1: We've got Jerome Baker right here in the middle of
Speaker 1: the pack of this group. I'm not really sure how
Speaker 1: this works, how this is tracked. I have to imagine
Speaker 1: it's from the NFL next Gen Stats, with all the
Speaker 1: great advancements we have with tracking this stuff. But there
Speaker 1: are two sides of this chart. One is the average momentum,
Speaker 1: which is mass times velocity and then average horse which
Speaker 1: is mass times acceleration. Layton vander Esh of the Cowboys
Speaker 1: is far and away off in the corner of his
Speaker 1: own category, but whose second there in the average momentum
Speaker 1: other than Dolphins linebacker ray Kwon McMillan. We talked about
Speaker 1: his run fits, his ability to key and diagnose and
Speaker 1: quickly get his head in there and blow up fullbacks
Speaker 1: and pulling guards and even ball carriers when they're the
Speaker 1: first ones to meet him. This is a good example
Speaker 1: of how ray Kuan is so physical and how he
Speaker 1: attacks and beats blocks and gets himself in there in
Speaker 1: the running game. A very valuable asset to your running
Speaker 1: game for your Miami Dolphins. Fifty two, ray Kua McMillan
Speaker 1: was up around three forty in the stat the average momentum.
Speaker 1: Layton Vanderesh was first at three forty two ish or
Speaker 1: something right above the three forty mark there on this chart,
Speaker 1: and as far as the average force which is the
Speaker 1: mass times acceleration, he was behind vander Esh, Rashaan Evans,
Speaker 1: Donte high Tower, Hassan Reddick, and Jalen Smith, so he
Speaker 1: was six in that category. Again, one of the top
Speaker 1: run defending linebackers and all of football and the physicality
Speaker 1: is on display this exact thread. And to follow up
Speaker 1: on who created this chart, this analytic study of force
Speaker 1: and acceleration of linebacker play against the run. His name
Speaker 1: is Pavel Veb. He's at pav all Underscore v A
Speaker 1: B on Twitter. You can give him a follow for
Speaker 1: some more analytics and inside charts like this. I love
Speaker 1: this stuff. It really helps kind of bring context to
Speaker 1: the football field. And speaking of context, boy, there was
Speaker 1: a tweet from CBS Sports I believe it was CBS
Speaker 1: Sports HQ comparing the four season of Dan Marino to
Speaker 1: season of Patrick Mahomes. And while I am in the
Speaker 1: camp that Dan Marino was not just he couldn't be
Speaker 1: revolutionary because no one could keep up with who he
Speaker 1: was and how he played in that era. He just
Speaker 1: completely transformed the position, at least for himself, but nobody
Speaker 1: else really followed suit. And I think we've seen more
Speaker 1: of that as the years go by. I think Michael
Speaker 1: Vick was in that category. Lamar Jackson really the only
Speaker 1: next guy to join that category as well, and Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes to me, is in that same realm of this
Speaker 1: revolutionary possibly transcendent player. Marino was transcendent because he was.
Speaker 1: The term transcendent just means that you are so far
Speaker 1: above and advanced of your peers, and that's who Marino was.
Speaker 1: Because you look at Mahomes his stats in two thousand
Speaker 1: and eighteen, they were gaudy, eye popping, but a lot
Speaker 1: of guys are throwing for five thousand yards. In today's NFL.
Speaker 1: There have been twelve five thousand yards seasons. That's not
Speaker 1: a lot by any stretch, but it's a lot more
Speaker 1: than it was in nineteen eighty four. Eleven of those
Speaker 1: twelve five thousand yard passing seasons have occurred from two
Speaker 1: thousand eight up until now, and Drew Brees has a
Speaker 1: handful of them. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady the usual suspects,
Speaker 1: but Dan Marino is the one outlier. As I put
Speaker 1: in this thread, you look at the guys that have
Speaker 1: thrown for five thousand yards two thousand, thirteen, twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty nineteen, and then nineteen eighty four, sticks
Speaker 1: out like a sore thumb. This guy was so far
Speaker 1: ahead of the game at that time. I to me,
Speaker 1: I compare it to like Barry Bonds in his home
Speaker 1: run record breaking season. You just don't see that kind
Speaker 1: of production, that type of an outlier. Where a guy,
Speaker 1: for Barry Bonds was a three outcome player right, a walk, strikeout,
Speaker 1: home run type of guy, but man, he was impossible
Speaker 1: to get out that season. Dan Marino was the same
Speaker 1: in terms of comparison to the rest of his peers.
Speaker 1: You just he just was different. He was transcended that way,
Speaker 1: and I think that's important something that maybe gets lost
Speaker 1: among the younger fan base, how transcendent, how special Dan
Speaker 1: Marino truly was. You look at his record breaking season,
Speaker 1: the five thousand, eighty four passing yards and forty eight touchdowns.
Speaker 1: The next highest touchdown mark that year was thirty two.
Speaker 1: You look at the passer ratings that season. If you
Speaker 1: just take the median passer rating, it was right around
Speaker 1: seventies seven point eight. Marinos passerway in that year was
Speaker 1: one oh eight point nine, So he was thirty passer
Speaker 1: rating points better than the league median. I didn't have
Speaker 1: the average because that's a lot of math to do,
Speaker 1: but the median right there, the fourteen and a half
Speaker 1: out of quarterbacks that were charted on here, Marino was
Speaker 1: thirty passer rating points better than that, So just insane
Speaker 1: production from a quarterback who was way ahead of his time.
Speaker 1: So while we're on the subject of fireworks, I also
Speaker 1: think that real life fireworks, like I don't think camping is,
Speaker 1: they're just not fun anymore. I love them as a kid,
Speaker 1: probably just a sign that I'm getting older. I suppose
Speaker 1: they're fun to watch for a few minutes, like, but
Speaker 1: once you've seen one firework, you've kind of seen them all.
Speaker 1: And we live in a city that is literally the
Speaker 1: only spot in the valley where I live. It's the
Speaker 1: Yakama Valley, where you've got a bunch of cities scattered throughout.
Speaker 1: That's the only city where they are illegal. So they
Speaker 1: really start on the third of July and probably even
Speaker 1: the second if we're being honest. And my cats they
Speaker 1: are mortified. I have one cat that runs away for
Speaker 1: forty eight hours at a time. He actually just showed
Speaker 1: back up as I began to record this podcast. The
Speaker 1: baby kept waking up, So that's not very much fun.
Speaker 1: Just not a fan essentially. What I mean to say
Speaker 1: this entire podcast is to get off my lawn. But
Speaker 1: the fireworks I do like are the ones here staying
Speaker 1: with the same theme, that were the top ten most
Speaker 1: explosive place for your Miami Dolphins last season, And we're
Speaker 1: talking about explosive plays. Whether it was a guy making
Speaker 1: a great play on the football, a big chunk gain
Speaker 1: down the field, a play that maybe really swings the
Speaker 1: momentum of the game and the Dolphins favor, whatever the case,
Speaker 1: maybe it was a play that was bringing ultimate fireworks
Speaker 1: from the fans, from the players from the sideline. The
Speaker 1: top ten most explosive plays for the Miami Dolphins Bobby McCain. McCain.
Speaker 1: So that was a great look at Bobby McCain coming
Speaker 1: over from a single higher position all the way across
Speaker 1: the field of the far hash mark to make a
Speaker 1: sliding interception on Brian Hoyer and the Indianapolis Colts. The
Speaker 1: Dolphins had a three point lead with three and a
Speaker 1: half minutes to play in the first half, and he
Speaker 1: picks it off and takes it down into the red
Speaker 1: zone right after the Dolphins had turned the ball over themselves.
Speaker 1: A great break on the ball, A great range e
Speaker 1: play from your free safety. Biby McCain number ten with
Speaker 1: his pick in week number ten at the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1: Play number nine I for your most explosive plays in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen goes to Preston Williams. It's patch wiping a throw,
Speaker 1: taking a deep shot down the field, and it is
Speaker 1: called that is Preston Williams on the outside. Well, Fitzpatrick said,
Speaker 1: I love the balls, and he's gonna throw him today
Speaker 1: a gain of thirty four and he goes right after
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace for a game of thirty four. That of
Speaker 1: Preston Williams. A perfectly placed ball to the Dolphins rookie
Speaker 1: receiver for a big gainer to set up a first
Speaker 1: touchdown drive there for the Dolphins to grab the lead
Speaker 1: in that game. Speaking of Ryan Fitzpatrick, how about him
Speaker 1: checking in for a rushing touchdown here at play number
Speaker 1: eight touchdown NY one yard scrambled touchdown in Foxboro week seventeen,
Speaker 1: gave the Dolphins a seven point lead midway through the
Speaker 1: third quarter. He drooked a couple of guys out en
Speaker 1: route to the end zone. Another big rushing performance there
Speaker 1: for Ryan Fitzpatrick. A big time play and you get
Speaker 1: a rise smile on the sideline from coach Flora's a
Speaker 1: very fun moment. As pressure arrived he steps up and
Speaker 1: around it, makes a move on number fifty one there
Speaker 1: Jawan Bentley and dives into the end zone as he
Speaker 1: gets hit by a big defensive lineman. There. Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: checking in with play number eight. And for play number seven,
Speaker 1: we'll go back one week as Ryan Fitzpatrick again part
Speaker 1: of this combination as he finds tight end Mike Gasicki
Speaker 1: for a big touchdowns taking a shot touchdown, third touchdown
Speaker 1: off the season. For Mike Gassicki, he was all alone
Speaker 1: and for Ryan Fitzpatrick that's his third touchdown off the hand.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna hear from that combination here again in
Speaker 1: just one second, but for now, play number six in
Speaker 1: the Dolphins top ten explosive plays in nineteen. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and get to number six here with a player
Speaker 1: who's gonna check in a lot on this list the
Speaker 1: rest of the way. Third down here is Rose and
Speaker 1: gonna go teep looking for Parker, one handed catch to
Speaker 1: funte Parker with one hand deep down the field and
Speaker 1: the penalty flag to boots and it looks like it's
Speaker 1: on Dallas, so this will count, as you were saying,
Speaker 1: Charles Davis. So it's a big shot down the field
Speaker 1: for forty yards. I was a third down and four
Speaker 1: to get the Dolphins going early in that game, the
Speaker 1: first drive of the game. As I said, we're gonna
Speaker 1: hear plenty more from DeVante Parker as we go back
Speaker 1: to Parker and back to Week sixteen against the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Here for another big pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Dolphins
Speaker 1: twelve yard receiver DeVante Parker. Here's Laird, It's a flat flicker.
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick takes a shot, airs it out for Parker. Parker,
Speaker 1: he's got it, He's sad to ten and on that catch,
Speaker 1: he goes over a rom thousand yards for the season,
Speaker 1: a fifty one yard game. That's from the Dolphins offense
Speaker 1: was really coming onto the scene late in the year,
Speaker 1: as Parker and Fitzpatrick really found that connection in December
Speaker 1: and just kept going after it over and over again.
Speaker 1: You hear them say he goes over a thousand yards
Speaker 1: on that play. Well, they wound up with yards. So
Speaker 1: another bunch of yards in that game, another bunch of
Speaker 1: yards in the week seventeen game, which of course we'll
Speaker 1: hear from again on this list. As for play number four,
Speaker 1: we go back to the tight end Mike A Sicky
Speaker 1: and we go back to New England. In week seventeen,
Speaker 1: Don got real quiet, real quick. You hear them mentioned
Speaker 1: the quiet stadium. I love when the play by play
Speaker 1: announcer lets the crowd do the announcing for him to
Speaker 1: let the moment really marinate, as he did right there,
Speaker 1: twenty four seconds on the clock. The Dolphins strike for
Speaker 1: a touchdown to take a lead. They would tack on
Speaker 1: the p A T and close that game out with victory.
Speaker 1: In Week seventeen, big time touchdown pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: to Mike Asiki and we go back to DeVante Parker
Speaker 1: for the third play on our top ten explosive plays
Speaker 1: from the twenty nineteen Miami Dolphins season with number three.
Speaker 1: Here another connection from Fitzpatrick to Parker when the Dolphins
Speaker 1: had to have it on fourth down and four eagles,
Speaker 1: Where did the backfield four town? This Casher's call Docker gold, Chuckstown,
Speaker 1: the dock stock crown of browns. What official check with
Speaker 1: the other standard browns? And he did stay in bounds
Speaker 1: and he went over the top to bring that ball
Speaker 1: in a fifty fifty ball. And Parker, we know better
Speaker 1: than that by now. Those balls are seventy at worst,
Speaker 1: probably closer to when Uncle gets up in the air
Speaker 1: and plucks those things off of Ronald Darby's head in
Speaker 1: this instance, for a long touchdown here against the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: forty three yards to pay dirt, Ryan Fitzpatrick to the
Speaker 1: Andante Parker and speaking of long touchdowns, will go for
Speaker 1: the longest play of the season for the Dolphins here
Speaker 1: with play number two, Jakeem Grant play here, he's a
Speaker 1: firecrackers still going and it's a fuck race and he
Speaker 1: will score. O my goodness, I promise I did not
Speaker 1: know that he said firecracker in that call, So it
Speaker 1: works even better, maybe even should have been play number
Speaker 1: one there is Jechem Grant goes one hundred and two
Speaker 1: yards back to the house on a kick return against
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. But play number one. You can't dispute
Speaker 1: this one. Another touchdown, this one coming on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball. We go back to week seventeen,
Speaker 1: picked off don't to the ends ale is Eric roll
Speaker 1: for the touchdown, And I'm not even sure who that
Speaker 1: football was for. Was it was between It was in
Speaker 1: between Julian Edelman and Sony Michelle. The next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: the other direction. Eric Row is celebrating with this Dolphins
Speaker 1: teammates down in the end zone, the place where he
Speaker 1: used to play his professional ball in New England. A
Speaker 1: great pick six they're off the Patriots quarterback, Eric Row,
Speaker 1: your number one most explosive play in nineteen Hit me
Speaker 1: up on Twitter. Tell me which plays I forgot, which
Speaker 1: plays I omitted? Which plays belong in this list, Which
Speaker 1: plays were too high, which plays were too low? I
