WEBVTT - Drive Time: Jonah Savaiinaea Breakdown and Kenneth Grant Interview

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>The thirty seventh pick in the twenty twenty five NFL

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Draft to Miami Dolphins select Jonah Savayanaya, offensive guard Arizona.

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.479
<v Speaker 1>Let's go all right, and they listed him as a guard.

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>He could play outside, could play inside. Mike Aya Patti

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>is who he reminded me of coming out of college.

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:22.639
<v Speaker 1>That inside outside versatility, big strong, powerful men who can move.

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Like he tested really really.

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, ran four, nine to five and the forty, so

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>he can he can really scoop to me, you get

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>him physical in the run game, but you don't lose

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 1>all that movement if you want to get out to

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the perimeter as the Dolphins.

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Like to do.

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 2>What is up, Dolphins and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I am your host, Travis Wingfield in oh I got

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Muswaga back on today's show. The Dolphins get aggressive and

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>go up the board and get my guy, the guy

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>you heard about for money on this podcast and your

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>boys absolutely fired up, as you can tell. Jonah Sylvy

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 2>and I I think I got that right this time.

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a tough one to pronounce, but we're gonna get

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 2>through it here together. Let's talk about the tape, the

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 2>fit for the team here here from Chris Greer and

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Mike McDaniel, and I had an exclusive with our first

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>round pick, Kenneth Grant. That's all ahead from the Baptist

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:29.759
<v Speaker 2>the Draft Time Podcast, Maie gaff I am so fired

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 2>up for Arizona guard slash tackled Jonah Savoy and Aya,

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 2>and I am just thrilled that he is a Miami Dolphin.

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>He was a guy that I had been discussing throughout

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 2>that throughout the entire process here and really honed in

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>on as a preferred target at pick forty eight when

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I parsed out how I thought the board might play

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 2>out here with the value of the offensive line where

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>it would be in this draft, And to me, man,

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 2>this was it. You talk about scheme fit, you talk

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 2>about culture fit, all the stuff we're gonna get into

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>here on this episode of the Draft Time Podcast, and

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I want to start here before before we get too

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>far into it, because we've seen two players added. And

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I actually wrote this up on Friday morning, and I

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 2>contemplated the options that might parse through it. And while

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I thought the cornerback options were good there, I still

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 2>felt the offensive line was kind of the sweet spot

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>here for the forty eighth pick, and the Fins obviously

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>agreed in pursuing Savoy and Aya in this year's class.

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 2>That's going to be the hardest one since Ignogay for

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>me to get down. We'll get there eventually, and you

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 2>know the details of the trade are this, Dolphins give

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 2>up the forty eighth pick and the ninety eighth pick

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 2>and the one hundred and thirty fifth pick for the

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.359
<v Speaker 2>thirty seventh pick and the one hundred and forty third pick.

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>So the way to kind of boil that down to

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>make it more simple to understand, we gave up the

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 2>third round draft pick and then our late fourth round

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>pick was swapped with the Raiders's early fifth round pick,

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>a total of one of that eight spots. And if

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>you put it up on the draft value chart, the

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins actually got one more point out of it, so

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>very equal trade, but Miami technically edges it out the

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Raiders in that regard. But they get their guy, they

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>solidify the offensive line in that way. Before we get

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>into the fits and the film, I had the concept

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 2>for a little bit of a segment that I wrote

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 2>with Jonah in mind, and I contemplated maybe holding it

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>until Monday, but since we were aggressive and went and

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>got the guy to me, it speaks to my thought

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>here and kind of solidifies it a little bit more strongly.

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 2>And you know, just have we only have the one

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>player breakdown for you guys here tonight because we traded

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>the third round pick. But I think this is as

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>good of a time as any and a follow up

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 2>from last night. And you know, this is the problem

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 2>with doing a speed podcast at one o'clock in the

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>morning after hosting a four hour draft event. Some things

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>can slip through the cracks at times, but we'll get

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>back to it eventually, always on the show. It's the

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 2>beauty of having a daily show or three times a

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>week right now, but after, you know, a three am bedtime.

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking this morning over my coffee about something

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 2>and it was this, and it stemmed from this comment

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>from Mike McDaniel on Thursday about the tonality and not

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>just the need at defensive tackle, but a certain type

0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>of need and a shot an injection of culture and

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>a certain type of player in person into the whole,

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 2>the entire organization, the entire building. So here's Mike McDaniel

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>on the tonality they want to set for twenty twenty five,

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>and I'll get back into it after he talks.

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 4>It was important to have a tonality set, you know,

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 4>for the the twenty twenty five Dolphins and adding you know,

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 4>a real presence up front and a you know, just

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 4>a just a player that is going to attack it

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 4>and try to play to the tonality that that we

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.720
<v Speaker 4>aspire to. You know, I think I think it's very

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 4>well in step with, you know, our vision as we

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 4>approach the whole process, open minded, but trying to you know,

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 4>figure out by round how we can make the Dolphins better.

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 4>So this, uh, he's been on our mind for a

0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 4>long time and we thoroughly overly threw, really vetted and

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 4>so very excited about what we're adding because we feel

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 4>like we have a very clear clear picture of what

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 4>that is.

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 2>So we have a pretty good chunk of the offseason

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 2>now done. Still plenty to go here, and once again,

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, Chris has reminded us plenty of times, Chris

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Greer that there are free agents out there, plenty of

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 2>things to explore in that market and trades and another

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 2>seven picks to go tomorrow on the draft. But with

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 2>what's happened so far, man, you can trace the bread

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>combs back to all the various tempole events that Mike

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>McDaniel as well as Chris Grear have spoken at. You know,

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 2>they mentioned the investment in the offensive line back at

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 2>the end of season press conference with Chris Greer, Mike

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 2>McDaniel talking about setting culture through the draft picks at

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.160
<v Speaker 2>the owners meetings, about learning lessons about the shortcomings from

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 2>the previous season, the funny car wash attendant story who

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>mentioned short yards to coach and how the Dolphins have

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 2>to get better at it. We hear about that every December, right.

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 2>We hear about the Dolphins and their flash and their

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 2>sizzle and their high powered offense in September and October.

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>But once the weather gets tough and the the inclement

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 2>weather comes in, the environments get tough on the road

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.720
<v Speaker 2>down the stretch, and you need toughness, and you need

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>running game, and on and on and on. Right, and

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 2>if you go back to free agency, we've gone from

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>one of the oldest rosters in the NFL to the

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>seventh youngest before the draft, before you add potentially nine

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>players or maybe fewer, or maybe more than that right. Now,

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 2>they've peeled back on some of the cash spending. Right

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>The free agency was short term, one year, cheap type

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 2>of deals outside of one or two signings here and there.

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>But the one big splash was an area, excuse me,

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 2>that you haven't splashed around in before. As my son

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Cameron would say, splash agua. He loves to go out

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 2>in the puddles or into pools or in the bath.

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Anywhere he can splash agua, he will splash Agua. But

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins didn't splash Agua this offseason. And you do

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 2>it with James Daniels on the interior offensive line, a

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.159
<v Speaker 2>pretty big investment in that position, and quite frankly, a

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of the teams that have run this system traditionally

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 2>don't splash Agua in that regard either. And this system

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 2>traditionally does not take interior offensive linemen that high. They

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 2>take tackles and centers that high, but typically guards. Until

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 2>a few years ago, we saw the Rams make that

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 2>pivot with the Jonah Jackson trade. The Alaric Jackson Jonah

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Jackson and Alaric Jackson acquisitions they made were kind of

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 2>a pivot towards that and Kevin Dotson as well. We've

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 2>seen the Green Bay Packers pivot to more of that

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 2>concept with Josh Jacobs being behind a very good offensive line.

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>The Niners are in that process that we are also

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 2>joining as well. It's bigger interior offensive line. And the

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins accomplished getting bigger and staying more athletic than they

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 2>were last year. Last year was a three hundred and

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>fifteen pound and a three hundred and twenty pound guard

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 2>who were not elite movers and quite frankly, weren't that

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 2>greatest scheme fits. And now your projected lineup is two

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>more of two of the most athletic guards in all

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 2>of football, and they come in with rare athletic ability

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>and big size, and that is different than what we're

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 2>used to. So back to the splash and free agency,

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, all of the offseason has been adding big, physical,

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 2>tough players. James Daniels, he spent on a guard big

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>for the first time in four years. Nick Westbrook, A

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Kine and Faroh Brown both to me, you are better blockers

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>than pass catchers at eligi positions, and I think Westbrook

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Akeene is a damn good pass catcher an incoming potential

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 2>increased role for Jalen Wright, who I think will be

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>a much bigger role player than eighty three carries this year.

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>And you also signed Alexander Madison. Both those guys are

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>bigger running backs. You signed three off ball inside linebackers,

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 2>including two including the first throwback type of player since

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Eland and Roberts and kJ Britt, as well as two safeties,

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 2>including a big time presence in the box. And he

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 2>fought to melafon Wu. It's not necessarily sexy, but I

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 2>think they have the right approach for how to fix

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>things didn't work a year ago and building it up

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>in that way because the Dolphins started this thing from

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.319
<v Speaker 2>the inside out. They didn't put up their fancy, you know,

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 2>siding and roofing. They went to the foundation and built

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 2>their pillars. They built out the offensive line. They they

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 2>rounded out the tight end room. They went after the

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 2>running back position. They attacked the interior defensive line in

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>the first round of the draft. They go after linebacker

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>in safety. They've made the steps to address the concept

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 2>of playing in the elements, playing tougher, more competitive football

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 2>down the stretch, which will all of that work We're

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna see. That's why they play the games. But to me,

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.600
<v Speaker 2>the vision is crystal clear, and quite frankly, I feel

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 2>like the fan base had been asking for this for

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 2>a long time now. Maybe it's not the same big

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.839
<v Speaker 2>time names that get get all the attention and give

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 2>the off season accolades that you used to get for

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 2>the Miami Dolphins, but who wants that. I mean, the

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 2>last several years you can point to the off seasons

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 2>and say, like, teams that didn't have flash or sexy

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 2>moves are the ones that were the team standing at

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 2>the end of the season. So we'll see how it goes.

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 2>No guarantees, but I like the vision. I like the

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 2>change it speaks of. And let's go ahead and close

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>with this updated discussion from Mike McDaniel on that idea

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 2>of tonality, but this time from nine two. After you've

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 2>added a three hundred and forty pound defensive tackle and

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 2>now a three hundred and twenty five three hundred and

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 2>thirty pound offensive guard, that's a lot of humanity coming

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.200
<v Speaker 2>at you. Let's go ahead and hear from Mike McDaniel

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 2>on the idea of toughness and the feedback that he

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 2>received from his teammates and the building that told him

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>they have to get better in that area.

0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 3>I think that there's a mutual.

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 4>Understanding amongst Dolphins right now for the twenty twenty five

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 4>version that just started getting there, their working that you know,

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 4>non negotiably, we're gonna be one team moving in one

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 4>direction and we're gonna earn everything we get, and and

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 4>so in terms of narratives, in terms of like those

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 4>expectations that guys should have. But when I tell you,

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 4>there's not really any time spent talking about what other

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 4>people are saying. The opportunity that you have is to

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 4>do with action what people will ultimately have new narratives for.

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 4>So if you you're you're controlled variable, if you can

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 4>put forth a good day's day of work and you

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 4>have teammates that you trust, you know all the things

0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 4>that being being said about whatever, that takes care of itself.

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 4>So I think, uh, you know, the team will embrace

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 4>are two of draft picks thus far, because you know,

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 4>we kind of know the team that we have and

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 4>the type of guys that will flourish. And I think

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 4>it fits something that you know, we're really trying to

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 4>define every day, which is the type of people we are,

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 4>the type of team we are and that will be

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 4>defined by our work.

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and pause for our first break right there,

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 2>come back and get to the film, the testing metrics.

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.439
<v Speaker 2>I have more audio. We're going to talk about the

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 2>fit in the system. We're going to talk about his stats,

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 2>all of that fun stuff, his background and more on

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 2>the next side of the Draft Time podcast, brought to

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:45.559
<v Speaker 2>you by Autoation. Always a nice thing when the first

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 2>two players you draft on Thursday and Friday are guys

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.320
<v Speaker 2>that you've already done deep dives on their film. It

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 2>makes the rest of the workload much more doable. Let's

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.439
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and kick this thing off here with his tape.

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 2>The first that jumps off is the physicality and the

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.840
<v Speaker 2>size and the mass and just how he moves people

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 2>and the way that they are impacted when he hits them.

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 2>When when you see him from that standpoint, you think, Okay,

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 2>this is a gap scheme power player, but then you

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 2>watch him get out in space and it's like, oh,

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 2>he's actually like the best mover in the entire class.

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 2>On top of all of that. In fact, let's cut

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 2>into the film here real quick and get into the

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 2>testing metrics. If you list him at guard which Chris

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Greer said, they see Jonah as a guard with four

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 2>position flexibility as a plus, he played tackle and guard

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 2>in college. But if you list his workout metrics as

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 2>a guard, which we'll hear from Greer, that's what they're

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 2>going to do. This year. He was a eighty fifth

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 2>percent tile size guy at three hundred and twenty four pounds.

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 2>His twenty nine inch vertical and eight foot ten inch

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 2>broad jump those were both in the eightieth percent tile

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.640
<v Speaker 2>of guards as well. His four to six six shuttle

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 2>time was in the eighty second percent tile among all guards,

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.680
<v Speaker 2>and his forty yard dash his ten split and twenty

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 2>split two forty yard dash was four point ninety five.

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 2>That's ninety eight percent tile and a ten split of

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.080
<v Speaker 2>one seven to two good for ninety six percentile man.

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 2>We have discussed this type of addition for a few

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 2>years on the show. Quite honestly, it was a big

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 2>part of me talking about a player like Jackson Powers

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Johnson last draft process, a plus mover at three hundred

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.319
<v Speaker 2>and thirty pounds who was always intriguing because you could

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.680
<v Speaker 2>keep your deadly outside zone run menu available, which is

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 2>the bread and butter of the offense. And the entire

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 2>starting point for the offense. But when you needed tough

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 2>yards inside, you could saddle up a three hundred and

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 2>thirty pound guard and run the football behind him. Two

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 2>of them, And now you've dropped in a three hundred

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and twenty five pound people mover in the middle. And

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 2>in addition to all the sizzle and the ability to

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 2>move the ball in a flash, now you get into

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>those third and twos, you have the menu of your

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.480
<v Speaker 2>outside zone run game. You have your quick passing game

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 2>that's super efficient and effective. And the screen game they've

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.959
<v Speaker 2>converted on those situations, those speedouts, the slant game, the

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 2>screen game. They have so many options to move the

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 2>chains in those ways. And now I fully believe you

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>have the element that makes all those other elements even

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 2>more dangerous to defend, the capability to line up and

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.960
<v Speaker 2>run it downhill and move the line scrimmage and move

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:05.679
<v Speaker 2>the change, because when guys know you can do that,

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 2>those other things open up even more. To say that

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I am fired up about this one would be an understatement.

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Jeremiah off the top of the show that compared

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 2>him to Mike iu Potty, the former first rounder of

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 2>the Niners, with rare, rare size and athletic ability himself.

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 2>And yes, it's like Kenneth Grant. He doesn't come in

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 2>here and just get handed the keys right away. He

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 2>has to earn it. But you can hear how much

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins love this guy so much so that Chris

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Greer cut to the Chase about how they view him.

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 5>At the end of the day, this was a player

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 5>that we were convicted in that was going to be

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 5>a starter for us, and he'll play guard for us,

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 5>and he understands that we've talked to him about it,

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 5>and so we're excited about it.

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Also that one seven to two ten split time was

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 2>the best at the combine of anybody who weighs three

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifteen pounds or more. Back to the film here,

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the first thing that jumps out about his game is

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 2>the pop. There's popping his get off, if there's popping

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.600
<v Speaker 2>his hands, there's popping his hips. Lots of pop, so

0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 2>to pop. You could say, let's break that down step

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 2>by step. Here the way he fires off the football.

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 2>He comes out with exceptional pad level, which allows him

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 2>to impact guys on combination blocks to easily disengage off

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 2>that first level and climb up to this linebackers on

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the second level, or even peel back and find work

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 2>with a green dog blitzer, a delay blitz right, or

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 2>someone looping off in a rush game. And that's where

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 2>the pop in the hips comes from. He can drop step,

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 2>open up his gate, and explode back across his body

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 2>and just be a fluid mover in his change of

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 2>direction skill set. More on that in the fit piece. Gosh,

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 2>the feet they are so sweet, man. He's so light

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 2>on his feet at three hundred and twenty four pounds,

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 2>The way he can change directions working backwards. You're gonna

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 2>hear Mike McDaniel talk about his ability to set the

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 2>pocket from a pass protection standpoint, The way he can

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 2>transition his weight, drop the anchor slide to find work.

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 2>It's all the look of a plug and play starter

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 2>from day one. I'm very, very convinced that he can

0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 2>be that for you right away. He's so light on

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 2>his feet, can take away the edge and redirect back inside.

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Massive frame, long arms, good for a guard, obviously thickly built.

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I bet you could tack on some more weight if

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 2>you wanted to because of his frame. Exceptional balance that

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 2>allows him to mirror and the patience to not get

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 2>out over his skis and protection. He's a smart player.

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.640
<v Speaker 2>His hands are bare claws. They impact people and send

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 2>guys flying to the ground. You know how we talk

0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 2>about bringing your feet through contact as a tackler. He

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 2>brings his feet through his blocks. Never heal clicks and

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 2>can just glide around the field with smooth, effortless power.

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:33.840
<v Speaker 2>He reminds me of that guy at the driving range

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 2>who has a smooth golf swing and the ball jumps

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and ninety yards off of his seven arm,

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 2>and he is just an easy, easy mover. And I

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>keep coming back to that McDaniel comment about tonality and

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 2>the film of Jonah. He's always looking for work. He

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 2>loves football. He plays through the echo of the whistle man,

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 2>just the reps outside the numbers. He is rolling guys

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 2>off the football outside the numbers. Impressive, impressive stuff. Talking

0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 2>about the fit for the football team. I have a

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 2>bunch of get to here, but first let's go ahead

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and hear from two sound bites, first from Chris Greer

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 2>and then Mike McDaniel. Chris Greer up first, talking about

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.080
<v Speaker 2>just the pick in general and how the Dolphins were

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.639
<v Speaker 2>aggressip to go get this player, and you know, passed

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 2>on another pick on this particular day to go get

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 2>this guy. We'll hear that first and then come back

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.639
<v Speaker 2>and hear from Mike McDaniel on what makes him a

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 2>scheme fit for the Miami Dolphins.

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 5>Was a player that we had targeted, we spent a

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 5>lot of time with. We had him in on a

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:29.479
<v Speaker 5>thirty visit, and spent a lot of at All Star Games,

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 5>butch went out and spent a day with them and

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 5>had a.

0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Private workout with them.

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.960
<v Speaker 5>So this is the player we're very convicted on for

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.880
<v Speaker 5>what he can add with his size, his power, he's

0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.440
<v Speaker 5>got versatility, He's played tackle guards, so he's an athletic kid.

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 5>And as we spent time getting to know him, he

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:49.919
<v Speaker 5>was the right kind of guy for us, and he

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.639
<v Speaker 5>loves ball. He's very competitive, and so for us, it

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.159
<v Speaker 5>was important that as we were going through the board,

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.719
<v Speaker 5>he was the highest rated guy we had, and so

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 5>the opportunity and we took.

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:05.840
<v Speaker 4>It well, I think, first and foremost beyond the scheme fit,

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, we were elated to have We had an

0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:12.320
<v Speaker 4>objective going into the draft of how the types of

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 4>people we wanted to add and the types of impact

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 4>we'd hope they'd have. And I think first and foremost,

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 4>setting the pocket in protection is something that he is very,

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 4>very skilled at, the idea of adding not only a

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 4>fierce competitor, but someone that plays with the tonality of

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 4>violence and aggression. That that was something that you know,

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:46.400
<v Speaker 4>Chris and I had talked at length about how many,

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.959
<v Speaker 4>how how many people could fit that bill, you know,

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:53.680
<v Speaker 4>so that strong conviction, you know we've the draft picks

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 4>are each every round is important to us. But you're

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:03.479
<v Speaker 4>also away that with do you have an opportunity to

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:07.600
<v Speaker 4>get someone that fits the bill in multiple ways for

0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 4>something that we've identified for a long time needs to

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 4>be our focus if we have that opportunity, so really pumped.

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 4>I think pass protection and run scheme I think is

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:22.400
<v Speaker 4>a great fit for him.

0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:25.159
<v Speaker 2>And look, we do all kinds of window addressing, right,

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.440
<v Speaker 2>There's lots of eye candy in this offense. We motion

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.679
<v Speaker 2>at the highest rate in the NFL. We can pull guys,

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 2>we can dummy pool guys. Your eyes have to be

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 2>really good to defend us effectively that way. So that

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 2>creates a lot of indecision for the guys up front

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:39.920
<v Speaker 2>the famous Max Crosby quote like, you guys are tough

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>to prepare for. You use some cuss words in there

0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.520
<v Speaker 2>when talking to Mike McDaniel after that game in twenty

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty three. You have to brace for the run but

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:49.600
<v Speaker 2>also be able to reset the pocket as a rusher,

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.199
<v Speaker 2>and when you introduce the indecision through the idea of

0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:56.399
<v Speaker 2>scheme flexibility, like I have to be prepared for all

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 2>these different looks that can give me, But then I

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>also have to be worried about a three hundred already

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 2>pound guy catching me on my heels and squaring me

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 2>up and just pure humanity rolling down hill at me

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 2>in a controlled chaos that way, that can be a

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.720
<v Speaker 2>lot to contend with. For sixty minutes, McDaniel talked about

0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the ability to sit the pocket and think about Toa's

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 2>quick release and the ball out nature of this offense.

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 2>You get the sheer mass inside, bigger bodies who can

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 2>anchor and hold up one on one man, the quick

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 2>passing offense becomes even tougher to impact that way. I

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.160
<v Speaker 2>think the way this line has been built can help

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 2>ease some of the pressure off to it as well,

0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 2>maybe even get him under center more. But that's all

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 2>different discussion for a different podcast we'll get into as

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 2>the weeks go along here. I think Savoy and Ayah,

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:44.359
<v Speaker 2>I think the is an ideal outside zone guard with

0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 2>the rare ability to feature as a man gap blocker

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 2>and total butt kicker on the inside, and the idea

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 2>of tonality right the toughness element, the way he finishes.

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.400
<v Speaker 2>He's the kind of guy that you'll need a cold

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 2>tub immediately after the game when you block him for

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 2>sixty minutes. He embraces the nastiness that is playing on

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the offensive line that combine with his spatial awareness. I mean,

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 2>my goodness, Paul Daniels, Brewer, Jonah Austin, these are five

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 2>players with exceptional ability to get out in space, and

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 2>four of the five are really comportable to a power

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 2>element we've talked about here. I don't think that's Brewers

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 2>gain necessarily, but he's so good in other areas and

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.439
<v Speaker 2>good enough in that area that it's going to work

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.919
<v Speaker 2>with the four guys around him, Like who it's got

0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:26.720
<v Speaker 2>me fired up. Let's go ahead and hear from coach

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:29.400
<v Speaker 2>McDaniel right now on the entirety of the offensive line

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.960
<v Speaker 2>and what excites him about this group of five guys

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:33.920
<v Speaker 2>that I think is one of the better starting groups

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 2>in the entire league because I believe in Patrick Paul.

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:40.439
<v Speaker 2>I think James Daniels and Jonahvana are perfect fits. You

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 2>know what I think about Brewer and Austin Jackson. Very

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:47.000
<v Speaker 2>bullish on this Dolphins offensive line? What say you, Mike McDaniel.

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:49.359
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's about getting better. I think that was

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:52.639
<v Speaker 4>a focus, a major focus of ours. So we've been

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 4>very focused to find the right people take advantage of

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 4>the opportunity. We think we have.

0:21:59.560 --> 0:21:59.679
<v Speaker 3>It.

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, the I think there's something that guys believe

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:08.680
<v Speaker 4>in that what does that mean and what is that line?

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 4>They will tell us with with their work, and that's

0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:16.520
<v Speaker 4>what they're excited to do. Obviously, we feel convicted, you know,

0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:20.199
<v Speaker 4>the players that we've had added this year, and you

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:23.400
<v Speaker 4>know some of the pieces that we've had at that position.

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 4>But more than anything, you know, I think we have

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 4>the right type of guys to go to work and

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 4>attack the process so they can define what the offensive

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 4>line is for the Miami Dolphins. I will say that

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 4>through the collective group, all the people you've mentioned and

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:47.760
<v Speaker 4>some more players, they're all very hungry and eager to

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 4>uh to work at their craft and uh and and

0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:54.760
<v Speaker 4>help us grow as an organization.

0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 2>And just to continue here, sorry because I keep finding more.

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Krabs brought on his touchdown Miami Blowpot. The Wildcats

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 2>were struggling with the USC front this past season and

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Jonah volunteered to kick inside to block a player named

0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Bear Alexander who was wrecking them on the interior. He

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 2>moves inside and just turns the tide of the entire game.

0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Kyle wrote that Jonah developed a reputation of positional flexibility

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.720
<v Speaker 2>and mental toughness, which pairs well with the powerhouse play

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 2>style and explosive athleticism. And Jonah is also quoted on

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.440
<v Speaker 2>his player bio on the Arizona website. Because he wanted

0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 2>to flip the program arounds why he chose the program.

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Sure Enough, the year he gets there, they were one

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 2>to eleven the previous season. The next two years five

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 2>and seven, and then ten and three. They did stumble

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to a four and eight mark last year with multiple

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:40.480
<v Speaker 2>quarterback injuries. He's played a fifteen hundred forty four career

0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:43.119
<v Speaker 2>snaps in college, didn't miss a start in three seasons

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 2>thirty six consecutive there, from his first game as a

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 2>freshman to his last game as a junior. He played

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 2>three positions. He played just under a thousand snaps at

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 2>right guard, just over one thousand snaps at right tackle,

0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:56.320
<v Speaker 2>and then three hundred and forty five more at left tackle.

0:23:56.600 --> 0:24:00.159
<v Speaker 2>PFF graded him with three negatively graded run plays on

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 2>the entire season. We talked about that being a big problem.

0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Last year, Miami had the most negative run plays in

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the league. You're not going to get those with James

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Daniels and Jonah casting it, Jonah Savoy and Ayah I'm

0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna get that. I am gonna get that here. Eventually.

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 2>He allowed only fifteen pressures this season. That's out of

0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 2>four hundred and seventy eight pass blocking snaps, good for

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 2>a pass block efficiency score over ninety eight, which is

0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 2>elite territory for a tackle. He's even better inside as

0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:29.159
<v Speaker 2>a guard. He was flagged one time this year, a

0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:32.920
<v Speaker 2>holding call against Kansas State. His background his one year

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:35.120
<v Speaker 2>as a full time starter at guard was a freshman,

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:38.080
<v Speaker 2>and he was a freshman All American. This from Dane

0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Brugler is the beast. NFL scouts say Jonah's swagger helped

0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:45.480
<v Speaker 2>maintain Arizona's culture after Jed Fish left following the twenty

0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty three season. He played his high school football at

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Saint Louis High School in Honolulu, the same school as

0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 2>to a Tongua bai Loa, and their families know each other.

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, go ahead and take our last break right here.

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I think the Day three preview we're going to go

0:24:57.800 --> 0:24:59.440
<v Speaker 2>ahead and punt on that because it's kind of the

0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 2>same thing I've taught about, you guys, know, looking at cornerbacks.

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 2>This board's getting picked up pretty good right now, but

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 2>hopefully you can find a guy like a Jacob Parrish

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.400
<v Speaker 2>sometime on Day three, maybe go after the safety spot

0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 2>with JJ Roberts at Marshall. Some of the names I like,

0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of doing this podcast during the third round

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:15.919
<v Speaker 2>of the draft, so I don't want to give you

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 2>guys names that get picked off the board, so we'll

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 2>save that for the pod tomorrow. I think you'll get

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that content elsewhere too, So let's go ahead and pause

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 2>for our last break right there. Come back and finish

0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 2>up the podcast on the other side with my chat

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:32.040
<v Speaker 2>with the very lovable, very fun fun guy I talk

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:34.639
<v Speaker 2>to you and a very smart, knowledgeable football player and

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Kenneth Grant. That's next Draft Time podcast, brought to you

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 2>by Auto Nation. What's Up, Dolphins, Welcome back into the

0:25:42.880 --> 0:25:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Baptist Hell's to us for another edition of the Draft

0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Time podcast. Here my exclusive interview with Dolphins first round

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 2>pick Kenneth Grant, Kenneth ken Kenny G. What should I

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:52.080
<v Speaker 2>call you here? Man?

0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Welcome in, Kenny g KG. I like all of it,

0:25:55.240 --> 0:25:55.560
<v Speaker 3>all of it.

0:25:56.359 --> 0:25:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Keny G. You flared with the sax player as well

0:25:58.000 --> 0:25:59.639
<v Speaker 2>from the nineties before your time.

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I'll look them up on Safari, but I haven't listened

0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:03.400
<v Speaker 3>to any of his music.

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:04.639
<v Speaker 2>That's my first thought. You guys are a little bit

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:06.440
<v Speaker 2>different though, in terms of your professions and your career.

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:08.600
<v Speaker 2>So a good company though. So the first thing that

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:10.679
<v Speaker 2>really stands out for me and fascinates me about this

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 2>whole job is players like you. Because guys that are

0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 2>your size should not be able to move the way

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.920
<v Speaker 2>that you do, right, And some of that is natural gifts, obviously,

0:26:18.960 --> 0:26:21.880
<v Speaker 2>but I'm always curious to know what goes into building

0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:24.439
<v Speaker 2>the perfect NFL body like that. So, what is the

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 2>process for getting yourself ready for a football season? And

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 2>being so big a swathletic. What's that all look like

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 2>for you? Yeah?

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:32.680
<v Speaker 3>Really just rest and recovery. I'll say the biggest thing

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 3>is because like you said, I'm just so big moving

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:37.199
<v Speaker 3>at this size, you know, I need to always be

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:40.720
<v Speaker 3>in a cold tub and a sauna, get massages or

0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:43.479
<v Speaker 3>dry kneeling and things like that. So it's really just

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 3>like taking care of your body and eating the right

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 3>things for sure.

0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 2>So that seems to be like a Michigan thing, a

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.320
<v Speaker 2>program that pumps out all these well conditioned athletes year

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 2>after year. What it being part of that program under

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the last you know several coaches, you guys have had

0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 2>defensively head coaches, a bunch of great coaches. What did

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:02.439
<v Speaker 2>that program teach you about discipline and training your craft?

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:05.359
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, I'll say it all started with the strength

0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:07.639
<v Speaker 3>and conditioning staff. That's where it started. You know. They

0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:10.360
<v Speaker 3>they're the ones we spend the most time with. They

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:13.639
<v Speaker 3>trained us to be, you know, discipline and also know

0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:17.200
<v Speaker 3>how to conduct our business, our business in a mannerly way,

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:21.119
<v Speaker 3>just because like off the field and on the field,

0:27:21.320 --> 0:27:23.320
<v Speaker 3>they translate, So what you do off the field can

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 3>translate what you do on the field, so you know

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 3>they're they're always, you know, being mentally tough on us,

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, preparing us to be mentally tough and expect

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 3>the unexpected whenever. Every day, like I'll tell you a

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 3>quick story, like we have like on our running days,

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:41.720
<v Speaker 3>we have like our rollers all laid out, and then

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:44.119
<v Speaker 3>right next to it is a card. Every every roller

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:46.080
<v Speaker 3>has a card next to it. And if you flip

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:49.720
<v Speaker 3>the card and he says, what's your card on, the

0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:51.680
<v Speaker 3>whole group has to go jump in the cold tub

0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 3>and then then run your conditioning tests. So that's a

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:55.159
<v Speaker 3>quick funny thing.

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:56.399
<v Speaker 2>You're going to bring one of those games down here

0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 2>to south forth, maybe you can get the other guys

0:27:57.880 --> 0:27:58.920
<v Speaker 2>that on that same game.

0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Might as well make them there you go.

0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk some of the actual on field football stuff here,

0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 2>because man, a guy like you that can play the

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:07.439
<v Speaker 2>nose tackle, can play the three technique all the way

0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:09.879
<v Speaker 2>out to the five technique. Again, that stuff fascinates me,

0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and I'm always so curious about players and processing things.

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 2>And for the defensive line perspective, you have a snap

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:18.320
<v Speaker 2>of a finger to read pass, to read, run, play pass,

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 2>whatever it might be. So I guess my question for

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 2>you is is how does reading the blocks from those

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:25.879
<v Speaker 2>different positions differ for you in terms of how you

0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.119
<v Speaker 2>process and when you line up in different positions.

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's not really just really it's not really different.

0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's just like a different type of technique

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 3>and different leverage that you have to you know, play with.

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, in a one technique, you kind of got

0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 3>the advantage because the center, you know, has one hand

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 3>on the ball and one hand free, so he doesn't

0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 3>have two hands, so you gotta be quick with your hands.

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 3>But in the three technique, you know, the guard he

0:28:49.120 --> 0:28:51.720
<v Speaker 3>has both his hands and you know he already knows

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 3>where you're going in the snap counts. So that's when

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 3>you have to really tighten down your technique and be

0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 3>fast off the ball. I think what what plays into

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 3>that is, you know, having quick hands, hims, hands and feet,

0:29:01.960 --> 0:29:03.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, need to be quick and coming off the

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 3>ball asap.

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it was the Ohio State game Donovan Jackson.

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 2>You ran like a loop off of the outside edge

0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 2>and beat him with speed around the coorum Like, okay,

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:12.719
<v Speaker 2>that's the guy that can play nose tackle a three

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 2>forty five and do that as well. We're in good

0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 2>company here speaking your Michigan days. Mike McDonald the first

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 2>DC there when he was there when you got recruited, correct, Yeah, okay,

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 2>so he was on staff there, and I'm a coaching

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:25.480
<v Speaker 2>clinic ner like watching those guys talk about coaching and

0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:28.880
<v Speaker 2>just different ideas football philosophies. And he was talking about

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 2>the installation of pass rush games and the interchangeability in

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 2>terms of the alignments we just talked about. Right, Can

0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 2>you tell us about how translatable that is on this

0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 2>defense with coach Weaver, who I don't know if you

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 2>knew this, but he coached under Mike McDonald and Baltimore.

0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So when I took a visit here, you know,

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:46.200
<v Speaker 3>we went over to playbook and things like that, and

0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:48.160
<v Speaker 3>I was kind of like, oh, this is you know,

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of the same thing as Michigan, but you know,

0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 3>different verbage in different like little tweaks and techniques. But

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, I was real comfortable with the playbook and

0:29:56.960 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 3>his style of play, you know, just understanding what the

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 3>coach is one and how their philosophies are.

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's really good stuff. I think it's it's going

0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 2>to translate pretty quickly for your here and so just

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:08.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of talking to you about this stuff, Like you

0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>get a big smile on your face right time I

0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 2>bring it up. It seems like you love football. It's

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:14.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of a read I get on you, like, what

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 2>is it? What is it about football that you love

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 2>so much? I don't like to lose, to be honest,

0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 2>like nobody. Yeah, I don't like to lose, even if

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:24.760
<v Speaker 2>it's like a rep or a practice rep or you know,

0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:27.320
<v Speaker 2>even in the weight room, like competing in the weight room.

0:30:27.400 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't like to lose anything, to be honest. So

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:31.880
<v Speaker 2>back in high school, you played on the offensive line

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:34.440
<v Speaker 2>or sorry, the offensive line as well as a defensive line.

0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 2>What did that teach you about playing d line?

0:30:36.960 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 3>It kind of, you know, tell me that you you

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 3>kind of got advantage that offensive line. You know, you

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 3>know where you're going, know to snap count, so you

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:48.800
<v Speaker 3>can get off of guys real quick. But you know,

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:50.680
<v Speaker 3>for me, it was really funny, you know, just being

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 3>able to physically dominate guys and kind of you know,

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:57.360
<v Speaker 3>use that advantage of me playing defensive offense against them.

0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:58.200
<v Speaker 3>So it's pretty fun.

0:30:58.240 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 2>You're two athletics down on the offense side. Those guys

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:01.640
<v Speaker 2>got go defense because you're you're more athletic than the

0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 2>guys on the offensive side. Right, oh yeah, kind of

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 2>how that goes. So also basketball in high school through

0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:09.719
<v Speaker 2>a shot put, track and field. I'm just curious. Tell

0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 2>me about all the sports. You probably try them all

0:31:11.640 --> 0:31:13.480
<v Speaker 2>at some point in your youth, right yeah.

0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 3>So I'll see, My first sport is baseball, played t

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:18.840
<v Speaker 3>ball when I was little. Then kind of transition of football,

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:21.560
<v Speaker 3>pop warning and things like that, and then once I

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:23.520
<v Speaker 3>got to the high school, carried on football, you know,

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:28.240
<v Speaker 3>out of basketball track. The funny thing is are during

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:30.920
<v Speaker 3>the off season with football, our head coach made us

0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 3>go up with the wrestlers and wrestles, so, you know,

0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 3>out of a love of that to my weapon tar,

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 3>but you know, all around great athlete.

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:38.880
<v Speaker 2>How big were you in the basket? Like, what was

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 2>your size in high school and basketball?

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Probably a little heavier than I am now, but really yeah,

0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 3>for sure you got.

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 2>To play high school basketball. I have like to defend

0:31:46.080 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 2>you in the post. That would not be fun for

0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 2>a little high school.

0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Man, especially getting all the rebounds and everything.

0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 2>That would be hilarious. Watch a little drop step a little

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 2>three hundred fifty pounds and do a one hundred and

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:58.320
<v Speaker 2>forty pounds soaking wet kid. That's hilarious to think about.

0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's finish up right here. We all the viral play,

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:02.640
<v Speaker 2>the Penn State play k Tron Allen chase him down

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:04.400
<v Speaker 2>from the back. I'm curious if you can take us

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.160
<v Speaker 2>through that and what that play says about about you

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and your in your game.

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I'll just start off with the player and

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:13.200
<v Speaker 3>what I saw. You know, they had ran a center

0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:16.360
<v Speaker 3>and a guard pool play towards the outside. And then

0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:18.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I think kind of everybody in the

0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:21.160
<v Speaker 3>defense knew that that side specifically was our weak side,

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:23.200
<v Speaker 3>and they schemed it up perfectly. I'll give him that.

0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, in the playoff, was like, oh, snap,

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 3>that's a big hole. So I saw our linebacker Mike

0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:31.320
<v Speaker 3>be He was the closest, so I tried to push

0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 3>him into the hole to force him to make the tackle,

0:32:33.800 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 3>but that didn't work out. So I was like already

0:32:36.360 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 3>facing towards the runner. So I was just hawked them down.

0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:41.040
<v Speaker 3>But you know what it says about me is, you know,

0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:44.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna do the unexpected things. You know, guys don't

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:46.360
<v Speaker 3>like to do. I mean I'm running down the field

0:32:46.640 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 3>thirty yards, but you know, the next play out lined

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 3>up and it was time to go. So I think

0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm very well conditioned. And you know, I got that

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:56.480
<v Speaker 3>gritting me to stick in, stick into things like that.

0:32:56.640 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Was that film review fun the next day taking a

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:00.480
<v Speaker 2>look at that rep. Oh yeah, just get some love.
