It is Tuesday. I am Travis 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.200 Wingfield and I am here to bring you your daily 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.800 dose of Miami Dolphins football. And on today's show, day 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.640 seven here from Davy of padded practices and the Dolphins 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.960 are on the near field today, so it's an even 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.640 better day here in South Florida. We're gonna hear from 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.800 coach Flores, Josh Rosen, Jaccheine Grant, and Eric Flowers on 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.680 this podcast. Plus we're gonna have all the news and 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.559 notes from practice. All of that and more on this 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:57.520 Tuesday training camp August edition of the Drivetime Podcast Dolphins 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.600 Off the Top. Here we have some roster news. On 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.640 Monday evening, the Dolphins announced that round draft pick out 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.880 of Boise State, Curtis Weaver would be waves slash injured. 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.080 And I saw it all over social media and myself too, 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.200 was a little bit curious to find out what exactly 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.360 that means. The Wave slash. Injured designation is only available 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.200 to be used on players who are not vested veterans, 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.600 and that just means they have less than four years 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.399 of a crude time in the National Football League, and 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.839 injured players with fewer than the four years of service 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.119 time cannot be placed on injured reserve until they pass 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.720 through waivers, So teams will cut this sort of player 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.959 with a waived injured designation, allowing other teams to place 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.199 a claim if they so choose, and if the player 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.959 goes unclaimed, his original team, the Miami Dolphins can place 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.160 him on injured reserve or agreed to an injury settlement, 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.960 then fully release him from the roster that comes from 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.400 Pro Football rumors NFL glossary there. So I hope that 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.000 makes sense for you guys all on the Curtis Weaver front. 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.320 As we press on towards Coach Flora's Tuesday morning media 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.960 availability almost said Monday there, but first, As the official 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.920 wellness provider and sports medicine provider of the Miami Dolphins, 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.160 Baptist Health is ready and committed to continue caring for 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:12.320 you safely.

And we now hear 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:36.400 from coach Flora's and his prepractice Tuesday, August media availability 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.600 had a pretty good feeling the first question might be 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.320 about Kyle van Noy. It was, but it was also 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.960 prepackaged into a question about both van Noy and Curtis Weaver. 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.120 Here's Brian Flora's on the decision on Curtis Weaver and 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.679 also an update on Kyle van Noy's injury. Again, a lot, 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.240 a lot goes into you know, these decisions, the injury itself, 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.280 by performing salary cap debt, the position and next year's 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.720 draft is. I mean, there's a lot that goes into it. 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.520 Those conversations that I had by myself, Chris Brandon, the 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:10.040 coaching staff, he's uh waves, I mean he could get claimed. 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.040 It's a small percentage of players who do get claimed 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.840 in this situation. UM, So we'll see if we get 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.440 him back, we'll know receive me. As far as Kyle 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.240 got banged up a little bit yesterday, you know, he's 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.160 getting treatment, he's feeling a little bit better, and we're 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.160 just gonna take this thing day to day hopeful that 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:28.720 he'll be out there. So I know he'll try to 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.600 get out there as soon as he can. And we 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.520 will hear from Josh Rosen later on today's podcast. So 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.560 first we're gonna get a question here for coach Flora's 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.000 about Josh Rosen and the progress he's made here in 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.480 training camp number two with Miami. But you know, all 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.760 in all, I think he's competing. I think he's you know, 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.000 of all the quarterbacks, he's you know, he's probably got 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.720 the biggest arm um. He's made some incredible throws. Um. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.000 I would say we need to always be more consistent 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.720 out of every position, UM, specifically the quarterback. And you 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.720 know there's a lot of competition at work. It's to 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.320 to to Josh um. But he's a talented player, he's 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.000 been he's been competing, but consistency really at that position 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.760 you need it from a situation situationally from a leadership standpoint. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.160 But I do think He's making a lot of progress 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:16.240 and hopefully we'll continue continue with that progress. So we've 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.920 talked a lot about Eric Flowers on this podcast and 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.120 the band slash Harnessed apparatus he brings out with him 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.880 every day onto the field to lead in instruction post 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.280 practice with all the young guys getting some extra work 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.080 after practice. Here is a question for coach Floors about 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.760 the leadership that Eric Flowers has shown so far and 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.880 how valuable it can be on a young team and 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.479 a young offensive line like the one the Dolphins have here. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.760 It's very valuable. I mean, Ix had a lot of 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.800 experiences in this league as a high draft pick, has 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.480 played for you know, a few a few different teams. 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.360 He's had a lot of ups downs, you know, over 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.640 the course of his career. He's learned a lot. He's 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.800 really kind of taking um, those young, young young players 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.360 under his wing to a degree. To me, it's, you know, 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.839 what better of a guide as to do that someone 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.400 who has had as many experiences as he had been 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.640 in different places, been under some different systems, but and 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.000 and had some success also, um success and failures. You know, 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.479 when when he talks to a young guy, young offensive 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.800 and For some reason, my audio cut out on that 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.160 sound drop, but he talked about the impact it has 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.680 and how it resonates with those young players, and he 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.080 talks about some of the other offensive linemen in that room, 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.880 Jesse Davis, Ted Carriss, Danny Isidora, about the collective effort 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.760 of leadership and teaching the young guys the ropes early on. 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.800 They're all kind of, you know, they work all work 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.560 well together, Danny Sadora. They're they're they're all kind of 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.560 work together helping those young guys get acclimated to the 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.440 to the National Football League. Obviously, there's no preseason games, 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.279 so they don't get to go out there and you know, 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.080 bang bang with another team. But I know there's a 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.320 lot of conversations about what it's like to play games. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.000 Lead those conversations that happen, and guys like Eric and 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.800 to Danny, they're they're they're leading those conversations. And now 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.799 we get a two pronged question talking about Dolphins cornerback 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.240 Nick need Him, which floors will start with, and then 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.840 a transition into discussing playing time for rookies, kind of 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.640 throwing them into the fire quote unquote there and how 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.040 Flores feels about that, how he's gonna play the best 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.239 guys that give this team a chance to win. Here's 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.359 Flora's on Nick need him and his young players playing early. 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.440 You know, I think Nick has made a lot of 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.240 a lot of improvement over the over the course of 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.960 a year. You know how Nick came into training camp 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.919 when he's learned a lot. I think he's been short 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.240 a lot. I think he's taking a lot more professional 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:31.280 approach from his rookie year. And um, he's made, he's made, 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.320 He's made some strides. So just I tell these guys, 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.520 when you get your opportunity and you have to take 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.080 advantage of it. It's like basketball, you get to you know, 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.440 you get your opportunity. That's like getting to the free 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.240 throw line. You know to make it, you know, or 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.000 you don't. So that's kind of, um some of the 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.520 things we talked about. So when Nick goes in because 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.120 somebody else goes down and Um plays well, you know, 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.240 that's what we're talking about as far as taking advantage 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.000 of your opportunities. And that's not just football, it's life 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.840 in general. Um, so next done a good job. Um 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.200 as far as rookies in general, and you know, throw 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.479 them into throwing them in the fire versus not throwing 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.760 him in the fire. You know, like we play the 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.080 guys we feel give us the best chance to win. 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.960 You know, that was the case with you. You know 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.920 you mentioned Deeter um last year, UM, when he played 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.040 a lot of football a year ago, and we felt 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.920 like he gave us the best chance to win. There's 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.320 a little bit of forecasting and predicting you we need 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.200 to do as coaches, as as a as an organization, 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.680 as person as a personnel department. You know, where a 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.640 guy may not be better than somebody else in week one, 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.280 but prediction, the forecast is that he may be better 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.320 in week twelve. And those are the decisions we have 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.040 to make. UM. So every team is making those decisions 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.280 in some form of fashion. And I'm not saying that 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.040 that's necessarily the case. We might feel like it is 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.080 better right now then, you know, not not Deeter. I'm 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.880 not talking specifically about you know, one specific player. I'm 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.280 just you know, in general, we may feel like that player, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.440 player X is better than you know, the veteran, but 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.440 we may also feel like player X is going to 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.120 be better, UM, And that's that's a lot of what 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.200 goes into the decisions here, so you guys will never 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.640 really know what I'm thinking at the end of the day. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.360 I just had to keep that laughing there because you 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.560 kind of saw some maniacal facial expression there from Coach 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.280 Flores about how he has knowledge of his football team 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.000 that of course he's not going to divulge to the 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.720 media on that topic. Coach was then asked a question 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.560 about Josh Rosen's placement on the team, and I didn't 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.720 keep the rose and part in initially because I think 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.800 that Coach, as he is wont to do, will shift 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.040 this towards the focus of the entire team, because of 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.880 course it requires a fifty three man fifty five this 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.679 year roster to win games. And Coach talks about the 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.200 evaluation process this stage of training camp, about halfway through 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.600 day seven here on Tuesday, four team practices and total 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.479 before the season kicks off. Here's Coach on the evaluation 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.680 process and where the Dolphins are right now in that process. 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.959 You know, we're not anointing anyone starter. You know, this 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.839 is still a competition in so I think he's gonna 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:03.360 fit in and his role is gonna be what he 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.760 makes it just like we said, every every player at 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.040 every position. So unless you've seen our you know our 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.400 debt cart, you know what I'm thinking, and you know 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.840 to me it's still we're still We're still going here. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.240 We've got you know, practice today where guys will be 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.360 competing and trying to get better, and we're gonna work 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.720 for a second third down in red area to a minute, 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.240 you know, works in two point players today and we'll 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.600 just compete and see where this thinks, how it shakes out. 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.640 So and we finish up with a question I was 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.440 curious to ask coach myself on this particular press conference 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.680 about linebacker Ray Kawon McMillan. Here's coach breaking down the 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.760 Dolphins fourth year now linebacker out of Ohio State. Ray 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.440 Kwan's obviously started a lot of games in this league. 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:46.439 Good tackler, good communicator, smart player, plays in the kicking game. 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.160 He's still ascending. I think he's doing well and he's 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.079 playing well in this training camp. And um, there's a 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.000 lot of competition at that at the linebacker position between 0:09:55.120 --> 0:10:00.440 Ray Kwan and Landon Roberts and Calvin Onntson Baker and Como. 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.240 And we'll see with the with the with the with 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.720 the chips fall and um again, everyone's still competing. This 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.400 is practice seven of fourteen in training camp. So we're right, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.480 you know, we're right at the halfway point and a 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.160 decisions have been made, but we're closing in, you know. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.720 I mean, we're definitely making our evaluations and uh, some 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.320 people are ahead of others. And when you're not gonna 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:22.880 get that out of me today, jail, and we're just 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.800 trying to look, we're gonna try to feel the best 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.199 team we can um and try to compete for an 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.240 entire season. So the Rake one is playing, he's playing well, 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.040 and I think he's a he's a very good player 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.440 in this league. And there you have it. We heard 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.760 from coach on this Tuesday and the Dolphins were back 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.160 on the practice field and it was another one of 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.920 these kind of cloudy and breezy days, which are very 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.560 very welcome down here in South Florida. That humidity causes 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.040 your shirt to stick to you, but that breeze and 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.679 that cloud coverage can make a huge difference. We had 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.240 that again for back to back days on Tuesday, and 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.600 we start this day with some music takes because yesterday 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.920 I recognized kid Cutty. Today, I recognize a new Drake song, 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.520 I have no idea what it's called. And my age 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.640 and my lack of pop culture knowledge here in the 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.160 music industry is definitely showing because I didn't recognize any 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.720 of these songs. But then today we got three back 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.920 to back songs that I recognized, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, and 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.920 Guns and Roses. So that might have been a little 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.320 treat for me there watching practice, watching the guys get 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:23.240 stretched out. And this practice was much more about live periods, 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.840 live sessions, team red zone two point drills skipped the 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.240 one on ones entirely. We had referees out there, officials 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:34.040 calling flag or throwing flags and calling penalties on the Dolphins. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.400 And there was two great stories about the referees that 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.719 occurred in this practice. The first one, the receivers were 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.920 working on toe tap drills down around the end line, 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.560 with the quarterbacks throwing the football over a second level 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.000 defender like a linebacker for instance, and they had to 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.160 elevate and get the feet down, and the RAF was 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.440 standing there signaling touchdown or in completion, and mac hollins 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.040 came down for what looked like a successful conversion, but 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.839 I'll go ahead to defer to the referee here because 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.000 he was right down there and he called it incomplete 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.760 and mac holland's kind of fake chewed him out about 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.760 the call. They were having a good time bantering back 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.720 and forth with that. And then later on in the 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.280 two points conversion or two point play period of practice, 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.960 say that five times fast. There was a play where 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.560 the runner was running for the pylon short left and 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.120 tried to get into the end zone and the offense 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.520 thought he was in. Everybody thought he was in, and 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.680 they had the team split up on either sideline during 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.480 this portion of practice, and the referee signaled him down 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.199 at the one yard line, and the offensive sideline booed 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.640 the referee, and Flora's happened to be on this side 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.560 as well, and he shot a thumbs up over to 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.800 the referee there with a smile on his face. So 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.160 some good, lighthearted moods out there at this practice. Some 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.840 other news and notes from practice. Kyle van Noy was 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.040 out there and dressed and participating. Noah Agnogamy was out 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.760 there as well. New signing Trent Harris was on the field. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.640 Preston Williams had the day off, and no Jachem Grant 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:53.320 and no Patrick Laird for this particular practice. And one 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.679 note from the last couple of days of practice I 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.560 want to put in there, and more so from yesterday 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.199 on Monday, was to do a little bit more. The 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.320 day that to a tongue of bola the quarterback had 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.640 and I thought he was sharp again on Tuesday, but 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.680 on Monday this note during the two minute period, that 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.520 was what really stood out to me most so far 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.160 in training camp about his performance. I've talked about this 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.720 a million times and you can find it on Twitter 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.839 if you just search my handle to a tongue of 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.200 Voloa and go to my videos up there at Wingfield NFL. 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.800 It's the inherent feel for the game. And that's not 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.280 just pressure. It's timing, it's rhythm, it's where the matchups 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.760 are on the offensive side compared to the defensive side. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.360 It's a lot of things. Now, in this instance, it 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.280 was in fact that quarterback pressure. He was getting plenty 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.000 of it, but his ability to be able to process 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.400 things as quickly as his body can move and as 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.040 quickly as things developed in front of him allows him 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.880 to anticipate not just the rouchdown field, but where that 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.120 pressure comes from and how to get away from it, 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.720 and how to make plays amidst that pressure, he would 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.640 hit the top of his drop, and before he could 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.160 even settle into that drop, he was bouncing up and 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.680 approaching the line of scrimmage while keeping his eyes down 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.920 field to survey the coverage and attack accordingly. He's working 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.160 on the move towards the line. He gets his hip 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.800 squared to the line and throws absolute darts all over 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.400 the field. It was so impressive. It was the exact 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.439 same thing I saw in college that made me love 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.480 him as a prospect. And I thought it was great 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.240 to see out here in the aquaand orange wearing the 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.720 Dolphin's colors doing the exact same things we saw him 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.320 do at Alabama. As for the practice itself, I had 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.320 two clear standouts on Tuesday, and they were the two 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.440 edges that came over in free agency, one from the Chiefs, 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.560 one from the Buffalo Bills. And Emmanuel Ogball and Shack Lawson. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.400 And we'll start with first, because I legit started to 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.880 lose count. I think it was three batted balls and 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.200 three sacks I might have had him with on his 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.680 overall production. He is just so powerful and puts such 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.560 pressure on the player across from him to get that 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.160 technique right, because if you don't get those hands right, 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.760 he's gonna walk you right back into the quarterback. After 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.800 a series where he and Jesse Davis were doing some 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.440 good battle there, I saw Jesse come over and the 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.800 lineman kind of congregated around Jesse Davis, and I obviously 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.760 can't be for sure what they were talking about, but 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.200 it looked like they were discussed how to handle those 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.520 difficult heavy hands, the long arms of Emmanuel Ogbah, and 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.640 how to combat that as you try to get yourself 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.680 into a balanced set and really work to absorb those blows. 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.800 It seems like one of the mysteries of camp so far, 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.680 because Agba has been doing it every single day. On 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.320 the notebook, I go back here and Ogba had three 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.120 batted passes, two sacks, two more instances where he impacted 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.000 the throw with pressure on the quarterback. A monster day 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.040 for ninety one out there. We've heard that before here, 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.240 haven't we. The guy on the other side, number ninety 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.000 he wasn't far behind Shack lost and had a potential 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.160 sack on the first play of the team period. It's 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.400 sometimes hard to gauge if it is a sack or not. 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.240 Because it's if the guy gets close to the quarterback, 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:39.720 I'm gonna go ahead and call it a sack because 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.320 they have to pull up and can't finish the tackle. Obviously. 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.480 He then later blew up a screen pass on that 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.200 same series. He also drew a holding call on an 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.640 outside run down on the red zone period, and he 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.360 finished the day with a sack and another pressure where 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.320 he impacted the quarterback's ability to make the pass. So 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.320 by my count, between those two guys, four sacks, three 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.560 pressures that impacted the quarterback, a holding call, and three 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:05.360 batted passes and a ruined screenplay. Have a day, big fellows. 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.760 And a quick note on some two point success rates. 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.320 Fits and Rosen, we're both a perfect three for three 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.600 converting two point conversions. That's a one thousand batting average 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.760 from the offense, and that part of practice all throws two. 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.800 So good work down there from the QBS. Actually checked 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.560 that they were five of six because one of those 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.160 plays was the call where the official ruled the player 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.520 out at the one yard line. But like the offense, 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.760 I don't quite agree with that call, but we'll leave 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.520 it to the referee, So five out of six on 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.280 that particular portion of practice, and I want to give 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.280 a portion of the pod here to the specialist because 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.640 I haven't talked enough about these guys. Those guys work 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.920 their butts off and really have to do the most 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.240 straight line running as they cover kicks, work to get 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.720 back on blocks, that sort of thing, and they wrap 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.520 it over and over and over again. And Danny craftsman, 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.120 he is pretty vocal and he's out there barking at 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.240 these guys and they absolutely play their asses off for him. 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.120 The first guy I took note of was Clayton Federalum, 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.600 it's not glamorous work, but he's out are fighting like 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.960 hell to find angles, to do everything he can to 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.000 get himself in position where he's not going to commit 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.399 a foul because it's so easy to throw a block 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.000 in the back and cost your team huge yardage, not 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:11.840 just the ten yards that cost you, but also the 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.880 lost yardage of the return, so so crucial to get 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.480 those leverages and get that placement right. He's getting square 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.840 up to his man playing off that leverage, and he 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.600 was just getting a lot of praise out there from 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:23.320 the coaches, and I thought he did a hell of 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.439 a job in this practice. I also noted Calvin Munson, 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.800 Sam egg Von, Miles Gaskon, and Mac Hollins doing plenty 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.520 of good work on that particular part of practice as well. 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.200 And I know I missed some guys there. I think 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.639 Andrew van ginkle was out there as well, Tyshon Render 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.960 and some others, but those are the ones I wrote down. 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.080 Some really good work on special teams. Speaking of Mac Hollands, 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.760 he had himself a day as a receiver as well. 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.320 He caught two passes on the first series at receiver. 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.200 First a contested catch up against Nick need Um, who 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.480 was draped all over him, but he pulls it down 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.120 for a tough catch along the sideline for a first down. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.480 Then a couple of plays later, he has his arm 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.439 pinned down again by need Him on a third and 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.480 long on a corner route and Hollands elevates and snags 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.080 it one handed, pulls it down without the benefit of 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.760 his left hand. Very nice work there from mc collins. 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.560 Another guy that I list, or from that list rather, 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.280 I thought made some nice plays was Andrew van Ginkl. 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.679 He talked about getting stronger during his Monday availability and 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.760 he was in there working off the edge both against 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.600 the run and against the past very effectively. I had 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.160 him with a really nice play as the forced defender 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.560 off the edge, setting the hard edge and getting in 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.440 for a run stop. And then the theme of the 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.400 day was in fact batted passes. He got two of them, 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.920 including a two minute or in the two minute period 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.000 at the end of practice on two up where he 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.200 batted it up and picked it off. A big day 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.800 for the gangster out there off the edge. Another player 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.760 up front I had with some good work was rookie 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.879 Jason Strowbridge out of North Carolina. First, he too was 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.440 playing off the edge and did well as the forced defender, 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.000 set the hard edge, work inside and get the stop 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.560
