Everybody? 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.000 I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, 0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:59.920 another day of work is in the books where we 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.160 capping day three from the Baptist Health Training Complex. We 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.240 had a different angle today, so I'm excited to talk 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.319 a little bit more about trench play than we have 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.279 the first two shows, plus full practice notes and sound 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.880 from head coach Mike McDaniel, Bradley Chubb, Zach Seeler, Duke Riley, 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:16.800 and a whole heck of a lot more from the 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.039 Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:26.080 is the Drive Time podcast. Hey gaff, So the defense 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.720 is going to get most of the run today. What 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:33.399 a performance they put on Friday inside the indoor complex 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.720 here at Baptist Health Training Complex. We saw it in 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.480 practice at times last year where the offense really just 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.600 kind of did whatever they wanted for large stretches of time. 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:45.720 And I'm not sure I've ever. 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.720 Seen it like this before, but man, the defense just 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.840 did whatever they wanted to do on Friday. Rush the quarterback, 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.280 stacked the run, defend the passes that did get thrown. 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.520 It was on display really at all three levels. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.120 And I want to start here with the news of 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:00.840 the day and what I think think is the coolest 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.000 thing about this team and covering it for the last 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.640 season plus you guys hear me talk about this all 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.720 the time. The right kind of people, the right kind 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.239 of players, a certain type of human who is not 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.840 just you know, cordial, but they treat everybody with the 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.240 same level of respect and that type of character, and 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.720 I think it really spawns a thirst to play for 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.160 one another when it comes to the game of football. 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.160 And even before the Jalen Ramsey injury, we had heard 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.760 McDaniel mention Ramsey's complete buy in to the program. And 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.240 if you recall my podcast way back in March when 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.040 we traded for Jalen Ramsey with Jordan rod Rieg, who 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.799 covers the Rams and has done features and one on 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.840 ones with him and knows him personally very well. She 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.160 talked about the complexity of his intellectual thought and how 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.680 he needs and thirsts for a challenge and wants to 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.960 be challenged and wants to be involved in install and 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.560 game planning because he recognizes the importance of that to 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.400 his team, but also because you know a chess piece 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.440 like a Jalen Ramsey who just kind of gives you 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.920 something that probably there's probably five guys that do what 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.840 he does across the entire National Football League, how important 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.960 it is for that guy to be invested mentally, and 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.320 how that was the case here and how bad he 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.800 wants to win for this Dolphins team, and he's been 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.520 tweeting about how thrilled he is to be here, how 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.360 excited he's to be a part of this team. I 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.600 thought it was cool to hear coach say this. Let's 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.480 go ahead and open it up with the Jalen Ramsey 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.360 news here from head coach Mike McDaniel, who took to 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.400 the podium and gave us an opening I guess statement 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.240 and announcement here about Ramsey, and as we would later 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.240 hear from Ian Rappaport, it does turn out the meniscus 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:43.720 tear required a full repair. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.600 And as for the timeline, who knows. 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.440 I mean, we've seen several different reports that have told 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.360 you various things, so I don't even want to go 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.960 into those because the accuracy, even within ten, fifteen, twenty 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.040 minutes of each other, was not accurate. So we'll wait 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.840 and see on that until we get official word here 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.040 from the team. Let's go to coach McDaniel here for 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.040 that opening statement about Ramsey and the reaction of the 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.520 team around the injury to their star cornerback. 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.760 I'm gonna steal the floor from uh whoever's gonna try 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:12.560 to beat me to the punch. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:13.080 Obviously. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:18.240 You know yesterday we had an injury with Jalben Ramsey 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.599 at the end of the practice. It was a non 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:27.400 contact injury that uh that was his meniscus, and uh. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.920 He is going to be having surgery at one o'clock today. Now, Uh, 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:32.839 you know, the. 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:38.680 The length of this, uh rehabilitation is kind of dictated 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.719 on a couple things that could occur in the surgery. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:46.200 So it's the exact time on Berry is a is 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:48.560 a little two be determined. 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.720 What I can tell you is, I. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.720 Don't think uh, you know, the the beginning of the 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.320 regular season is. 0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.960 Really a part of the scenaire. 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.520 It's uh, it's gonna be into the season and how 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.960 deep that is depends on kind of what happens today. 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:14.920 Uh and real realistically with the the way the team 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:20.960 had practiced. Uh you know, I I you don't know 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.560 these kind of things. But you know what was the 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.000 most amazing thing about the whole thing. 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:30.800 Was the way Jalen responded. 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:35.960 He he spoke to the team yesterday and it it 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:40.120 really moved a lot of people. He first let everybody 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.600 know how much you appreciated, uh this team, how this 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:49.320 this team has accepted him, and how you know he 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:50.920 he has been in the league for a little bit, 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:56.200 and how he he knows that what we're doing here 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.920 and his opinion is special for for his position group 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.960 not to waiver and exuded all the confidence they had 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.240 in that position group. 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:07.880 And one of the things that he that he. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.320 Said that was real cool for everybody was he he 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:16.400 thought it. He told all of his teammates not to worry, 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.400 not to feel sorry for him. He's going to whatever 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:24.240 timeline the doctors give him. He's he's going after that 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:28.280 timeline and trying to flex that he'll beat it, and 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:38.080 that the he realistically couldn't couldn't be more committed and 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:44.359 excited to join the team again this year. Whenever that is, 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.240 it isn't really up to him, and he he knows that. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:52.760 But you know, it was that that adversity is not 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.200 really an issue. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.640 It's it's an opportunity for a lot of guys to 0:06:58.600 --> 0:06:59.640 really come together. 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:00.000 And step up. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:05.039 So it was a team moment that was really put 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.240 together by Jalen And that's kind of where it stands 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:09.640 right now. 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.240 So again, as reports say, the timeline looks like December 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:14.880 and sometime, but like coach said. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.760 We'll see how that all plays out. And that's how 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:17.600 this business goes. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.160 I know, it's easy to really get in your feelings 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.640 about how unfair it might be or how annoying it 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.320 is to lose a guy like that on day number two, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.960 But those things happen in the sport, and teams find 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.600 a way to win games in the absence of some 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:30.440 of the best players. 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:31.560 Every year. 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.120 I feel like we go through this where it's like, oh, 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.120 player X is out for the day, how are they 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.800 going to win this game? And like I've had that 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.920 thought myself for years, but like it happens all the time, 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.000 Like the Bills won games last year without Micah Hyde 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.440 and Jordan Poyer in their defense, Like you can. You 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.680 can survive losses as long as it's not you know, 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.280 the quarterback position, for being completely honest, like that's the 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.920 one spot where the real real impact comes. Obviously, losing 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.480 your top players is never good, but you find ways 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.400 to maximize your other top players and get you know, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.480 supporting performances out of the depth, and you ride and 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:07.559 you win football games. 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:08.960 Every single year. This happens. 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.680 Every team that wins championships did it without someone important 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:14.280 to their lineup. 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:15.760 You have to keep that in mind. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.640 Let's go ahead and hear from a couple more guys 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.320 on the defense on the impact of Jalen Ramsey and 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.400 that message he gave the team after the fact that 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.440 you heard from coach there. Let's go ahead and go 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:25.600 first to Bradley. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.400 It just lets you know, I mean, when you got 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.800 a guy like that, a leader like that, to come 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.319 up and bring everybody in and let us know before 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.960 it gets out and stuff like that, it means more 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.320 than what you would think, because I've been places where 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.319 the media tells you stuff about your team before you 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.320 can hear you know what I'm saying yourself. So it 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.160 was cool that he did that and everybody just rally 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.120 around it and we just got to understand that, yeah, 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:48.720 it's a big piece gone, but that's not the whole 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.600 piece that We got a lot of other great players 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:51.960 on this team and they just got to step up 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:53.280 and fill that role. 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.760 I want to play the our SoundBite here from Bradley Chubb, 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.760 who was first asked about what it's like for the 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.480 defense to have a day like this the day after 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.599 the injury to Jalen Ramsey. Here's the Dolphins outside linebacker. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.559 And one one hand says, it means a lot, you know, 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.520 because it's how we responded to it, you know what 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.959 I mean. Whenever you lose keys piece like that, guys 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.040 might get down. But then in the other hand, a 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.280 lot of people stepped up. A lot of people did 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.640 exactly what they were brought here to do, you know 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.439 what I mean, step up and make plays for this defense. 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.800 And yeah, it sucks that he went down, man, And 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.440 but like I said, it's just got to be the 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.120 next man up. He said that yesterday. He just got 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.040 to be the next man up. Everybody got to compete 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.120 and make sure that when he comes back that we 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.000 full steam ahead, you know what I mean. So it's 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.560 gonna be a journey for this defense to readily around 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.200 each other and gather up and make sure we're doing 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:42.000 everything we need to do. 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.120 Let's hear next from defensive tackle Zach Steeler on the 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.920 loss of Jyalen Ramsey and how the team moves forward 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:49.400 after the injury to Ramsey. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.720 You know, it's really sad. I'm praying for Jalen, hopefully 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.200 best for him, hopefully get through it quickly. But I 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.880 think coach McDonnell had a good point where it's, you know, 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.920 take this as a motivational piece and work for that 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.400 and hopefully when he gets back, were in a good position. 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:08.319 And look, I'm not typically someone who subscribes to the 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:12.120 notion of momentum or someone performing better because it's a 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.160 big moment, Like I always get a kick out of 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.280 the idea or the concept of clutch hitting, because a 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.319 ninety eight mile an hour fastball is always a ninety 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.640 eight mile an hour fastball, whether the bases are empty 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.880 in the month of April or they're packed full of 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.960 base runners in October. I do think there's something about 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.320 remaining calm and being able to control your breathing and 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.000 your heart rate to execute in high pressure moments. I'm 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.200 not naive to that fact, But I don't think the 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.280 idea of extra motivation because of bulletin board material or 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:39.560 because of a contract year. 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.080 I don't think anything like that. 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.600 Makes you have better football technique or play better football. 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.560 With that paragraph of a disclaimer, man, the defense sure 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:53.600 as hell looked inspired today, utterly dominant, particularly inside the trenches. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.720 And it began with Christian Wilkins, who I don't know 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.600 what else you can say about this guy. He's one 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.800 of the best players in the NFL. He's one of 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.760 the best players at his position. He was better today 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.840 than I've ever seen him. He was better today than 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.520 I've probably ever seen anybody play like it was like 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.640 Tyreek Hill last year, Like wow, that guy noticed his 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.160 impact right away. That was Christian Wilkins on Friday. I 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.920 was wrong about the Orange Jersey yesterday, though I stand 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.760 by how damn good both Long and Cater were. But 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.319 I think I would be pretty surprised if we don't 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.080 see ninety four in the Orange Jersey and all you 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.520 guys come out here on Sunday for practice to hear 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.040 Hamilton and whatever the hell Christian puts on the Yox cord, 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.600 he earned it with the way he played today. If 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.520 it's not him, my pick is his buddy Zach Seeler. 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:38.640 Have mercy. 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.160 Those two guys were not blockable on Friday. Now, I 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.960 didn't have my laptop up because of the indoor facility 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.920 and kind of have to stand behind the goalpost there, 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.240 which really cool view though, so I appreciate the fact 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.520 that we got a different look at practice, but not 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.960 as precise as I usually have my notes. But the 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.000 Zach total was definitely in double digits, and Christian might 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:58.040 have had three or four of those. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.760 Zach might have had a couple of those of his own. 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:02.520 Well, well, these guys, we are just so lucky to 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.959 have them, the workload they take on, the versatility they 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.960 demonstrate on defense, the way they work off of one another. 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.679 And speaking of the conditioning, and how you know, Christian 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.880 plays these sixty five snaps every game. That's just outrageous. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.680 There was a rep and I kind of want to 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.960 start tracking this more where Christian was involved in the play. 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.920 Up front, they extend the play after probably would be 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.360 sack and they throw the ball and Christian just takes 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.800 off after the play and then continues to go. And 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.040 the play began at our own twenty and he ran 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.880 to the opposite twenty, So what is a sixty yard sprint? 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:36.720 And that was the last play of his series. So 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.840 the ultimate conditioning to just say, all right, plays over. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.800 I just ran four reps against you know, Connor Williams 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.080 and Rob Hunt and these guys that are so damned 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.400 strong and you know, inflict their energy onto me, which 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.679 takes my energy out to be able to do that. 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.480 It just speaks to the way this guy works. I 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.200 think he looks slimmer, but he's three fifteen still like 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:56.520 so he still got all the weight. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.480 Just looks better. I would be I'd be surprised. 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.559 If Christian Wilkins it's not even better this year than 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.959 he was last year. Let's hear from Duke Riley who 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.080 talked about Christian wilkins energy and what it provides this 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:06.640 pot man. 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.120 I love Kristin, that's honestly. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.319 I mean, he knows. He's probably one of my favorite 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.200 players on the team. You know, I love everybody, but 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.360 I just love Christin. Every day I see him missus last, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.480 it's a smile. He's probably one of the you know, 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.120 happiest guys on the team. I guess you can say 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.680 you can tell a guy he really loves the game. 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.160 I honestly have the utmost respect for him. I think that, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.840 you know, we definitely feed off of his energy, you know, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.600 and it just all relates to. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:31.679 The type of work he puts in. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.160 I mean, it's constantly getting extra I mean days that 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.040 he's no one's in the building, He's in the building, 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.640 days that no one's here. First, you know, I try 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.439 to get here early, you know, that's my thing to 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:42.960 get here early so I can get extra in and 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.240 I always see him. You know, It's just like it's 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.200 no secret, you know when you see a guy like 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.000 that he's able to celebrate, he's able to be confident 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:52.640 in what he does because of the work he puts 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.720 in behind closed doors that no one sees. 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.400 We heard that same sentiment from Chris Career, I think 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.000 it was during draft weekend, talking about they've come out 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.200 to the facility, you know, early morning or late night, 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.120 and they'd see a red light or a red dot 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.400 out on the practice field, like what is that internal 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.520 lights on? There's Christian Wilkins working out, so really good stuff. Man. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.400 Let's go back to the podium here with Zach Steeler, 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.679 who I asked about the relationship that he and Christian 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.160 Wilkins share off the field, And there were so many 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.400 stunts in this practice that those guys create a chance 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.760 for one another and got pressure on the quarterback or 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.600 got into the backfield. So I wanted to ask him, 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.280 how does your guys' relationship off the field, you know, 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.480 translate to success on the field. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.560 Here's Zach Sealer, Man, it's it's been huge. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.840 It's been really blessing to be able with Clark, Raykwon, 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.880 Christian Emmanuel just meshing. It's on and off the field. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:39.840 Like you said, it's kind of like learning each other 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.160 as a person, as a player, how to play next 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.680 to him. Hey, what's Christian like? What's Raykwon White like? 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.160 And that's something that it's been really nice with the 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.160 guy like Chubb learning how he plays and how to 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.880 adapt to that. Phillips, all those guys. So it's been good. 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.920 It's been an amazing system our amazing years to learn 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.240 each other's and habits and how to play best off 0:14:59.280 --> 0:14:59.640 each other. 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.480 Gosh, I sure do love watching those two just do 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.360 what they do. It doesn't matter who's the pick man 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.000 in those games, who's the one running the loops. They 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.800 are just so technically sound that I think what allows 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.560 them to both do what I mentioned yesterday, and that's 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.440 even if you're wrong, or even if you just you know, 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.640 offer lose the rep initially, they know how to get 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.760 their hands back where they have to go to reposition 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.000 to kind of reset the rep, how to get their 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.680 feet back in the right position, to get themselves where. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:25.960 You know, if my feet are here, I can get 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.280 my body to this position faster and just turn the 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.040 rep around and win it. Despite the fact that maybe 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.200 they didn't win it right away, and we saw it 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.160 a few times, like Sealer working backside, closing down the 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.760 front side, clogging things up. He was tagging off run 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.080 plays the regularity. I said to Kyle Krabs, who was 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.880 here at practice to day, like there's so many plays 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.680 where he could have just destroyed the back but obviously 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.760 tagging off. We're not gonna do that in practice. I 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.280 mentioned on the Defensive Tackle Preview episode, those guys can 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.680 bine for the most run stops of any defensive tackle 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.200 tandem since two thousand and six, and we saw that 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:58.320 ability and those skills really play out on Friday. You 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.320 know who else continues to have a really good start 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:01.640 to camp. Raykwon Davison. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:02.200 Man. 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.600 He's doing what we've praised him for in terms of 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.920 eating up blocks in space in the past, but the 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.560 production that hasn't really you know, popped off, has been 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.040 there during these practices. 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:12.600 He's getting off blocks and making. 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.040 Plays at a rate that we just haven't seen him 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.840 due to this point of his career. I think it 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.160 would be fitting to watch him continue to blossom into 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.640 year four now, which is kind of common right, Like 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.400 Christian Wilkins has gotten better every year, Raykwon can do 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.160 that too. I think I had Jalen Twyman and Brandon 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.480 Peeley with run stuffs again today, and then there was 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.080 the guys off the edge getting their working and Bradley Chubb, 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:34.120 who was in the orange jersey I thought was even. 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.680 Better than he was yesterday. But what the hell do 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:36.000 I know. 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.640 He was getting around the edge with regularity. Whether it 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.960 was you know, Kendall Lamb out there or Keyons, it 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.560 just didn't really matter. He was finding a way to 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.760 get after the quarterback. And you can definitely feel the 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.480 absence of Armstead out there, not being a left tackle, 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.400 But man, the way that he's been setting edges in 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.080 the running game really continues to pop to me, especially 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.160 when he's to the side that designates him as the 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.920 forced defender, that last line of defense off that part 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.560 of the formation. I've been extremely impressed with how he 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.280 can fulfill those two roles at one given time. Sometimes 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.560 you have guys that I'm just rushing the quarterback or 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.480 I'm not even gonna worry about pass rush. I just 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.280 have to play this edge, play this gap, and defend 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.280 the run. I think when you have a guy like that, 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:12.720 it takes a lot of pressure off the rest of 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.280 the defense and then it frees up coach Fangio to say, 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.439 I've got more room to keep this safety as not 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:19.879 a rat in the hole. I'm going to pull them 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.680 back into coverage and impact the back end more. Let's 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.720 go to Bradley Chubb here in his media when he 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.160 was asked about his experience in this defense and being 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.119 a conduit between coach and player on the field because 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.600 of his past past work with coach Fanjios. 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:33.520 Oh yeah, for sure, man. 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.720 It's kind of cool because I'm kind of like another 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.840 coach out there. Guys coming up asking me questions, and 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.719 I mean it feels a little weird sometimes when they 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.000 ask me stuff, but at the end of the day, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.800 I've been here three years and different just going on 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:46.680 my fourth var and in the defense, so it is dope, man, 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.879 just to be another set of eyes and ears for 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.200 those guys and kind of holding myself to a bigger 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.720 standard because I'm in it, I know it. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:55.760 I want to know more of it. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:57.560
