And welcome to the Draft 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:53.600 Time podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins Podcast Network, covering 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:58.279 your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:02.120 am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, Game 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.680 Week and also one of my favorite shows every single year, 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.080 it's the season preview show where I predict every record 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:14.200 across the NFL Division Champs, wild Card season Awards, World Champion, 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.720 all the good stuff. Plus how about the weekend that 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.400 was in college football? I've got some notes on that. 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.399 Plus we're gonna hear from head coach Mike McDaniel from 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.679 the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:32.199 This is the Drivetime podcast Maye Gaff first though, before 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.440 any of the juicy stuff we have coming up on 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.280 today's podcast, Robbie Chosen is back to the practice squad 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.320 and that rounds out the group. I believe I dropped 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:45.200 my podcast about an hour last week before we had 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.360 a bunch of names come out on the practice Squad. 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.200 And look, I get mad about it on here all 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.160 the time. I'm not sure why I do, because you 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.320 guys are not the folks on Twitter. You guys are 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.240 my writer dies listening to this podcast. But I still 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.400 get upset about the idea that I get called homer 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.840 all time on the podcast, and maybe there's a little 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.360 bit of that in there. But I also feel like 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.120 I'm a very objective fan of this team that can 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.640 highlight where I think there are shortcomings and where they 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.359 need to be critiqued in certain areas. So I say 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.080 all that to preface the fact that I think this 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.000 practice squad is really damn good, and doesn't that kind 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.799 of jive with a roster that I think is really 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.480 damn good. Which you might see reflected later on in 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.800 this podcast. So the full practice squad chose him as 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.440 an NFL receiver. Man, I thought he was number seven 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.360 going into the cut down day and that bared fruit 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.480 eventually in the end there. But I do think that 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.520 he is capable of playing at this level and is 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.280 a really nice, you know, practice squad call up type 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.840 of option to have there in your back pocket in 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.600 case of an injury or for particular game plan specific 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.200 that week, whatever you might want. I like having chosen 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.720 in that position, and he's home and happy and hopefully 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.120 that makes for the best version of Robbie chosen. So 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:54.880 the full guys that are here from are the practice 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.679 squad guys that are here from camp that stayed with us, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.320 Ethan Bonner, Tanner Connor, those all right, Cameron Good to 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.880 Sean Hand. I think is a great player to have 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.160 just kind of waiting in the wings to pull up 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.679 for you know, fifteen twenty five snaps on game day. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:13.640 I've talked about this in the past. Ideally, Christian Wilkins, 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.959 Zach Seeler, and Raykwon Davis are just good to go 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.160 for you know, sixty sixty and forty snaps a week 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.440 and you don't need anybody else, but probably not realistic 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.720 to get that. So having DeShawn Hand waiting in the 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.920 wings to get called up for a couple of times, 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.520 maybe he gets a full time you know, uh raise 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.960 and gets the contract to the active roster. I like 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.680 having him here in camp. Though AJ Johnson was that 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.960 late signing, got cut a few days later, but he's 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.280 back on the practice squad. Similar situation. Their depth knows, 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.200 the system, knows the defensive coordinator. Those two guys I 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.560 think are going to be critical parts of this roster. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.880 They contribute at some point in the season, and you know, 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.120 critical maybe over using that term, but I think that 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.000 those guys are going to come in and impact games 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.360 that maybe we win, that maybe put us in position to, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.760 you know, achieve our ultimate goal, which to me is 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.040 a critical piece of your Brayln Sanders working back from 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.320 the injury. He's back on the practice squad. And then 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.600 the two undrafted rookies James Tunstall on the offensive line 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.880 in a lame yuliave newcomers. This is where I get 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.040 pretty fired up about this group. Tight End Nick Bauers. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.440 I mentioned running back Derrington Evans out of app State. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.400 He went to the Titans out of college, and I 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.040 thought he had explosive passing game ability as a running back. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.760 Not very familiar with offensive guard Chasing Hines from the Patriots. 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.080 He was cut this training camp. He's now here on 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.560 the practice squad. Safety Joshua klou is a special team's 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.320 missile and a guy that plays one hundred miles an 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.960 hour downhill. But the guy that I'm most fired up 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.800 on this list, there's actually two of them, but the 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.120 guy that tops the list is nose tackle Rishard Lawrence. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.160 He can play like this guy is, to me, your 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.320 fourth defensive tackle. I would probably assume that he's going 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.440 to run out of those elevations pretty quickly because I 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.120 think that he can come in here and give you 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.440 fifteen snaps where he plays that zero tech or that 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.960 one shade and just eats up the interior of the 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.440 offensive line and creates all those chances for guys around him. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.280 Love love love Rashard Lawrence's game and Travis why did 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:04.919 he get cut? Well, look at what the Cardinals are 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.080 doing across their entire roster. They are shutting off good 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.240 pieces across the board for what Well, we'll talk about 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.040 that here in the moment because college football has a 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.040 bunch of good quarterbacks right now in their landscape, and 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.280 then wide receiver Rally Webb and outside linebacker Chase Winovich, 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.599 a former second round pick, Chase Winovich, who's a pretty 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.880 damn good edge rusher in college and had some moments 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.520 the Patriots kind of faded away into the ether when 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.719 he got traded to the Cleveland Browns, but he is 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.120 now here in the system playing more of that true 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.240 you know, three four outside rush linebacker and maybe gives 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.279 you a chance of some you know, sub package rush 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.760 options when you have to get into your depth if 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.680 guys get nicked up throughout the year. So I think 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.320 this practice squad is damn good. There's NFL players all 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.760 throughout it. Deshaan hand aj Johnson, Darrington Evans, Joshua kalou 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.320 Rashard Lawrence, and Chase Winovich are six guys I think 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.599 and chosen, so seven guys that I think are going 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.800 to play games for you this year. If not more 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.000 than that. Tanner Connor I like him. Cameron Goode might 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.160 get a call up at some point two. I think 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.920 it's a very good practice squad. We also got captains 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.320 and how far have we come from twenty twenty one's 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.279 captain list, which I don't have to remind you guys 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.720 what that was. But the captains this year to a 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.880 tongue Bai loa no brainer there. He's the leader of 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.839 this football team. Tyreek Hill. He sets the standard every 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.120 single day by how he works in practice. To Ron 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.280 Armstead as a coach on the field, he is a 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.640 third captain. Christian Wilkins. I think the way he addressed 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.840 that press conference and congratulating his friend Zach Steeler pretty 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.840 much tells you all you need to know about how 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.479 he works. And he's a great example as well. Xavian 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.599 Howard has really developed his role as a leader on 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.560 this football team over the last several years. Javon Holland 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:36.919 is the guy they kind of all point to in 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.839 that defensive backfield, and alec Ingold. I think that's pretty 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.280 much six of the same guys from a year ago, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.440 if not mistaken. And then alec Ingold also a team 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.479 captain this year. So Tua Cheetah Te Staid, Christian, x Man, 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.960 Javon and alec Ingold are your team captains. Coach mentioned 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.719 the team captains in his press conference on Monday. Let's 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.000 go ahead and play that sound for how that selection 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:57.960 process plays out. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:04.159 So that's something that we do, a player driven vote 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.640 that that the locker room really comes up with, which 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.560 is one of the reasons it's it's such a special 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.960 honor to each and every one of those guys because 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:18.360 it's voted on their most important on the on the 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:23.720 most important really first person of opinion in the building. 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.360 That's that's their peers in the locker room. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.680 We also got injury updates from four key pieces Jalen Wattle, 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.960 Brandon Jones, and Devon A Chain all going to practice 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.480 on Monday, which obviously puts them in great great position 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.280 to play in the game on Sunday. No Tron Armstead 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.040 on Monday, but I think you would start looking at 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.080 Wednesday for when you start trying to evaluate whether or 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.480 not he will go for that week one game. He 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.360 has talked about that being his mission, his target day 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.239 all along since the injury back in Houston. Didn't practice 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.080 really all last year, but got out there for games 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.160 and was awesome. So keeping checks on t Ron Armstead, 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.960 you know, I rather have them healthy for the link 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.800 the season to pose this game but if we get 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.360 him back, obviously that would be great against Khalil Mack 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.520 and Joey Bosa. Last thing before we get to the 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:11.000 college football weekend, coach addressed the backup quarterback position, which 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.240 goes to Mike White. I think that was a no brainer. 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.360 You guys on this podcast know how I feel about that. 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.120 Here's coach on the backup QB for the Miami Dolphins. 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.400 Informed him late last week, We'll be going with Mike 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.840 White as the backup to start the season. Feel super 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.240 fortunate in our situation. Was kind of what we're hoping 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.640 for is you know, we've learned the hard way that 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.560 you need available players and your roster just in general. 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.120 And I thought Mike White and Skyler. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:43.719 Competed all the way until the last rep and when 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.720 it really came down to it, I thought they both 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:50.839 made just cases. But for our football team and really 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.360 adhering to exactly what a backup quarterback needs to do. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.920 They'll they'll, you know, I'll be active each day. But 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:03.560 to be able to understand our system in such a 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.040 short period of time that Mike White did, and the 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.760 command really he exudes in the huddle, and you know 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.559 you're you're solving an imperfect puzzle as a backup quarterback 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.280 where you don't get any of the reps during the 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:23.520 week and have to master your situation, your craft repless. 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.960 So I think relying on Mike White's bets, an experience, 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.920 and really all the growth that he did this offseason 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:32.600 make you feel pretty comfortable with that. 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:33.800 Do do do? 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:33.920 Do? 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:34.320 Do? 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:38.160 College football weekend? Baby? So first, thanks? First, the Pac 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.559 twelve was thirteen and oh. From week zero to week one, 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.800 USC won two games. The Koogs ran rough shot over 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.679 Colorado State. I think it's going to be fitting when 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.840 the Pac twelve has potentially the best season of any 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.079 conference before it dissolves next year. Or it sounds like 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.840 it could be a two team conference for Washington State 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.959 and Oregon State, which means what one game to get 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.920 into the College Football Playoff every year. I'll take that, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.040 but I'm going to be in talking about the future 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.480 of the Power four conferences or however it's gonna shake out. Honestly, 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.040 I don't really don't dive that deep into it. I'm 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.000 just mad that Washington State got left out when they 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.199 are better than substantially better I should say than a 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.800 lot of the programs that are remaining in those Power 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.400 four conferences. Not to mention Oregon State, who's number eighteen 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.520 of the country right now on the outside looking at 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.400 let's go ahead and start in that conference at the 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.880 premier position, because all the good quarterbacks right now, for 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.600 the most part, are in the PAC twelve. Caleb Williams 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.680 from USC, he has unreal creativity ability and that seems 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.840 to be the theme right now among the college landscape. 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.160 My goodness, these quarterbacks are evolving in a way that 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.079 I'm curious to see how it shakes out in the 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.080 next ten years or so. But all these kids have 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.760 been practicing that Patrick Mahomes throws out in the backyard, 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.240 and look, at the risk of sounding like the old 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.600 man yelling out a cloud, it just doesn't matter that much. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.839 I know. We're breeding a generation of analysts like the 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.080 TikTok guy who thinks that quarterback plays about arm strength 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.199 and nothing else. But go back and watch all the 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.160 great quarterback performances this weekend, and what did you see 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.040 time and time again from all of them? Shador Sanders 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.160 torched the horn frogs from the pocket. By the way, 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.080 eventually he's QB one whenever he comes out. I just 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.480 love the way he places the football, the poise that 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.280 he shows, the athletic ability obviously is there, the way 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.040 he handles the big moment. He as the kids say, 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.800 has that dog in him. I am so impressed by him. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:24.640 The pedigree is a big part of it, you know. 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.520 I think his dad's a little bit of a crazy person, 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.320 but in a good way. They should benefit him. Big 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.320 fan of Shadurro Sanders, man. I thought Williams and Drake 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.360 May from North Carolina were exceptional whooping up on that 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.760 South Carolina team that just couldn't block for Spencer Ratler. 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.200 But Rattler's you know, he ain't it either. But those 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.640 guys are going to be one two off the board 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.160 this year, no doubt about that. You can kind of, 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.160 you know, pick your poison with what you want to 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.400 go with there in terms of what you like. May 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.839 reminds me of like Justin Herbert. And then Williams is 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.480 such a playmaker. I don't have a comp for him yet. Man, 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.719 he's fun to watch. And I should clarify that I'm 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.600 not anti arm strength. I just I really kind of 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.679 do this. I did it with Ryan Tannehill. I've done 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.400 it with twa tongue ba loa. I'm gonna do with 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.120 arms strength. Now it seems to be the next thing 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.360 where I go heavy the other way to try to 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.120 sway this public opinion. But I just think the arm 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.040 strength is pointless without the other traits. But if you 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.360 have it with the other traits, that's how you get 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.440 Dan Marien, That's how you get Patrick Mahomes. So it 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.640 is worth noting, you know that it's a valuable trait 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.640 when you have the other stuff to go along with it. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.400 It's also worth noting how much easy gas there is 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.520 out of this crop of quarterbacks. Man, did you guys 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.680 watch a Tennessee game against Virginia on Saturday. I'm not 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.760 sure I've ever seen a football jump off a hand 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.120 of a quarterback like it does for Joe Milton, maybe 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.720 Mike Vick. Goodness, he had a sixty five yard air 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.600 yard throw where it looked like he was just kind 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.240 of getting warmed up. It's crazy, I don't know, kind 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.360 of like Anthony Richardson last year though. The ball takes 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.440 off on him a lot. And that's where I kind 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.240 of come into this whole like developmental segment here where 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.439 it's so critical to get these kids in a place 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:57.000 that can facilitate their mechanics and not just foster good mechanics, 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.480 but avoid creating bad habits early on. Here I go 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.840 making golf comparisons once again, they don't they say that 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.600 when you're having a bad session on the range, don't 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.840 just keep hitting and hitting and hitting bad balls, because 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.360 you develop bad habits and bad mechanics in your swing. 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.960 It's the same for a quarterback. It's very tough to 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.840 reconstruct a player's framework from what got them to where 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.520 they are. It's why it's so important. Like it's not 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.880 about when you get drafted, but where you get drafted, right, 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.280 I know you've heard that before. It's so critical where 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.480 these guys go because if you go to DW. Loggins, 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.600 good luck. But if you go to you know, Darryl Bevell, 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:35.400 big difference. But imagine getting those traits curated early on, 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.560 kind of like Tua was with his pops, but then 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.200 obviously at Alabama with Nick Saban and Brian Dable and 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.160 Lane Kiffin, an all star ensemble he had there to 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.080 make sure those mechanics never got lazy and drilled and 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.400 repped them every single day. I digress on that point, Quinn, 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.520 you were from Texas. Also on that level, Michael Pennix, 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.400 I liked him in Indiana. I love him at you 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.400 dub as much as I hate to say that. Such 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.000 a smooth and easy throwing motion to push the ball 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.280 vertically torched up Boise with that awesome receiving core of 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.560 the Huskies have this year Pack twelve is awesome. Man, 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.480 that's gonna be a fun year in the conference. The 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.040 last year in the conference. I really really like Jordan 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.200 Travis from Florida State. Similar to Sanders, he has the 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.120 poise and composure control of his huddle and the football. 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.000 I thought he makes really good decisions where he just 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.599 kind of throws the ball into the soft spots of 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:23.600 the coverage and then Washington State bump fifty twenty four 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.240 over Colorado State. That game was early, was over early. 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.880 But quarterback Cameron Ward is not going to be a 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.680 first rounder. I thought he had a chance to be, 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.280 But coming back just watching this one game, there's still 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.640 some deficiencies in his game that have to get ironed 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.760 out before he gets to the professional level. Might not 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.520 even be a Day two pick, but man, the ball 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.640 is up and out quick released from him from any platform. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.240 He's got Jalen Hurt's running skills, and I think he's 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.800 going to be the developmental prospect that everyone clamors over 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.680 this year and this year's class. With regards to he's 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.680 got the physical traits. We've got to get it all 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.560 packaged up together. So I play both sides out there 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.640 a little bit. I like the physical traits, but if 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.280 I want an NFL quarterback, you better be able to 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.880 win from the pocket and above the neck. Good week 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.800 for the PAC twelve. Great week in college football. Some 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.600 more names I liked. Wisconsin running back Braylan Allen's a 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.440 first round pick. If they'll still exist at the running 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.080 back position, you want your Jonathan Taylor Redo. He is 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.360 at downhill freight train that has speed and power. My goodness, 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:15.880 what a monster he is. I think he's only true 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.960 sophomore too. Speaking of absolute loads at the running back position, 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.600 how about UTSA running back Gavorian Barnes. He had a 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.800 touchdown run against the Houston Cougars where he was stood 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.360 up at the three and just powered his way into 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.360 the end zone. He's five nine, two fifteen a modern 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.760 day muscle hamster. Love the speed of Louisville running back 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.160 Jawar Jordan. He had that house call that put the 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.600 game away against Georgia Tech. What else here Utah safety 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.200 Cold Bishop back to that Gator game on Thursday night. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.600 Sorry jt Our resident in house Gator here watching the 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.960 Gators get beat up by the Pac twelve power Utah Utes. 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.560 But Cole Bishop ky of reminds me of Javon Holland. Man. 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.120 He can attack the land scrimmage. You can play coverage, 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.560 but mostly the instincts. He has to play his job, 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.240 but also come off of that make plays outsider structure 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.600 who he's good. Had a sack against the Gators as well, 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:06.120 where he timed up his blitz beautifully. I mentioned Travis 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.400 Oh I did not mention Travis Hunter from Colorado. I 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.040 mean cornerback one. Play him on the board right now, 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.240 take him first. Overall, that guy is an absolute freaking monster. 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.680 Dylan Edwards the freshman running back, who boy, he looks 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.160 like a nice piece down the line, maybe for this 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.720 team in the future. And finally, just loved the Florida 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.440 State game. I love that they kicked the crap out 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.680 of Brian Kelly because those videos are so cringe of 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.080 him dancing with his freaking recruits. Yuck. But they killed 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.800 the transfer portal, didn't they? That key on Coleman receiver 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.560 like three tunnies in one game, nine for one twenty two, 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.240 smooth runner after the catch with that kind of size, 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.400 Keeping eye on him as a potential future number three 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.360 for the Miami Dolphins. Baby, That Florida State team in 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.880 general just really damn good. That defense on the opening 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.600 stand down on the goal line, just waves of rushers 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.600 and interior guys that played low you know, verse the 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.160 rusher verse verse verse. He's gonna be a top ten 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.440 pick at some point despite some mental errors. I thought 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.800 that Patrick Payton looks the part of the modern day 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.680 edge rusher. But man, fun weekend in college football. You've 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.959 got Duke and Clemson tonight, So looking forward to that. 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.040 Let's go ahead and take our first break right there 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.240 and come back on the other side and talk some 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.439 NFL football. I'm doing my picks, my season awards, my 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.800 division champions, my world champion, all that fun stuff. That's 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.760 next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:26.120 you by Autoation. Tis the season for football Dolphins.

Let's do 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.000 some predictions one of my favorite segments of the entire year. 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.359 I think about it all off season. I draw up 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.240 my wins and losses to get to two hundred and 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.119 seventy three games before I officially write it down and 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.800 make my official predictions for the upcoming season closed. Last year, 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.440 Eagles over Bills made the mistake of unders in Kansas 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.520 City after the Tyreek Hill trade. But that won't happen 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.600 again this year, at least not in the regular season. 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.960 Let's go ahead and do the awards first. My MVP, 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.200 I'm not gonna pick against Patrick Mahomes until he isn't 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.719 around anymore. I guess my Offensive Player of the Year 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:18.040 is Christian McCaffrey. I just love, love what he's done 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:19.960 to that position, to that offense. I think that he 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:21.280 was kind of the guy that got them over the 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.600 hump last year, of course, until they got banged up 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.080 in the NFC Championship game. My Defensive Player of the 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:27.760 Year is Shjalen Phillips. Go talk to a walk about. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.080 He's gonna have fifteen sixteen sacks. He's gonna make impact 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.480 plays for a Dolphins team that's gonna go pretty far. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.400 Comeback Player of the Year DeMar Hamlin. There's nobody else. 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.879 Offensive Rookie of the Year. This is a tough one, 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.159 but I'm going Zay Flowers. I think the Ravens offense 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.359 has a chance to be explosive this year, and I 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:43.920 think that he could be the number one by the 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:45.719 end of it all. I just don't buy into odell 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.440 Or Rashad Bateman the way I do him. Smooth mover, 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.360
