WEBVTT - Welcome to Miami | Kyle Van Noy

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Practice, Patrick throwing Parker touchdowner. What a win for this

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphin team. Wow? Oh right, Miami Indeed, and free

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>agency is off to a rocking start as your Miami

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins have been busy bolstering the roster with quality signings,

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>freak athletes, intelligent, instinctive scheme fits, and we've been doing

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>it with clever cat management that keeps this roster in

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:34.879
<v Speaker 1>terrific financial shape going forward. What's up, Dolphins? Travis Wingfield

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>with you here for a special series of the Drive

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Time Podcast, part of the official podcast network of your

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins. We aren't making these shows with specific dates,

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>but we are rolling out a new episode per player signing,

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and we'll start with the details of the player's career,

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>taking a look at their counting stats, advanced metrics, film study,

0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>character testimonies, and a whole lot more, all of that

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>before we hear from the newest Miami Dolphins and exclusive

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>interviews with the Drivetime Podcast. So, without any further ado,

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>let's get in to the free agency series here on

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the Drivetime Podcasts and we'll get into the cumulative impact

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 1>of all these additions and all these moves and all

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the benefits of the Dolphins acquisitions over the free agency period.

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:27.839
<v Speaker 1>But I want to go ahead and let the dust

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>settle before we approach cap conversation and draft ideas of

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>what Miami might do now that so many needs and

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>holes have been checked off the list with the free

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>agency period. We'll get to that on a future podcast

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>here on the Drivetime Show, but today we're focusing on

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.839
<v Speaker 1>new linebacker Kyle van Noy. The Dolphins signed the jack

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>of all trades defender and he reunites with his former

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>defensive coordinator and current Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. Now

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>it's difficult to pigeonhole van Noy at one specific position

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>because the versatility theme continues here with the former a

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Pat and Lion. Van Noy can play the run, off

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>the edge, he can drop into coverage, and also he

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>can rush the passer very effectively from a variety of positions.

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Focus change van Noise's positional designation in twenty

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>nine team. He was listed as a linebacker in eighteen

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and ranked second among his position group with thirty six

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.799
<v Speaker 1>total pressures that year. This year, with an edge designation

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 1>and an increased pass rush workload, van Noy more than

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>held his own with fifty eight pressures on four hundred

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>and forty nine pass rush reps. He posted a gaudy

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>twelve point nine percent pressure rate, and his versatility in

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>terms of directional rushing is agnostic entirely. He has his

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>sheriff a gap rushes. His pass rush productivity off the

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>right side was nine point two that ranked eleventh among

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>his position group, and seven point five off the left side.

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 1>He can hit you from anywhere, and van Noy's work

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>in the running game might be even better than his

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>highly productive pass rushing metrics. He made thirty run stops

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>those are tackles within two yards of the line of screaming.

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>He missed only five tackles last year, and his consistent

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>work earned van Noy the fifth best run defending grade

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>among all edge defenders on Pro Football Focus. In twenty nineteen,

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>he allowed eighty six receiving yards on eighty six coverage reps,

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and that ranked nineteenth among all edges. As a cover

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>man and vanoid statistics reflect his multiple nature, just as

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 1>his snap counts due last year, van Noy played more

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>of an on ball edge slash linebacker role. In fact,

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.519
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred and seventy five of his eight seventy five

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>defensive reps came from that position, be it on the

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>edge or in the A or B gaps as a

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>stand up rusher. In twenty eight team, those positional disparities

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>were even more widespread. Vanoy played five hundred and sixty

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>three snaps on the ball and five sixty four off

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the ball, just one snap away from being a dead

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>fifty fifty split. And since his twenty sixteen arrival in

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>New England, Vanoy has been as reliable and dependable as

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>they come. Over as three full seasons there as a Patriot,

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Vanoy played too than eight hundred and ninety seven snaps.

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>That's an average of nine point seven snaps per year.

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't leave the field. The newest Dolphin linebacker checks

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the boxes in which scouts play pay

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>close attention to rather six ft three, two d fifty

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 1>pounds coming out of b y U. In two thousand

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>six Team, Vanny earned glowing grades from NFL dot COM's

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>lands Zer line as a college prospect. Quote he has

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>a muscular, well proportioned build, quick get off, He knife gaps,

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 1>good pass rush ability, can push the pocket or pressure

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>the edge. He keeps working to the quarterback and has

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>deceptive closing speed. Eyes the quarterback and tries to get

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>his hands in the passing lane. Athletic with good movement

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>skills in all directions, equipped to keep pace with backs

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 1>and tight ends and coverage. Is rangey and can open

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 1>up his stride and run vertically. Glides on the field.

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Scheme versatile, football smart and this further quote from their

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.040
<v Speaker 1>line good sized athletics. Smooth moving stand up player who

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>projects best as a three four outside linebacker, but can

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 1>also warrant considered ration from four three teams as a

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>will or a SAM multiplicity. He has unique ability to

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>play up field latterly or in reverse end quote and

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>Vanoi's versatility was truly appreciated and utilized in his second

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>NFL home after leaving Detroit and getting to New England

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>with flor as desire to play multiple fronts. Van Noi

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 1>can stay on the field for nearly every snap, regardless

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.279
<v Speaker 1>of the front or defensive package or the coverage on

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the back end. The College Scoding Report harps on van

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>nois versatility, his football i Q and instincts to read

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>and react, paired with the quick first step and ability

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>to get skinny through blocks allows him to be effective

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>in both one gap penetration style defenses or two gap,

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>read and react schemes. To check the versatile, smart, durable,

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and competitive boxes. The only thing left for van Nois

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to cover are his leadership and instincts, and he checks

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>those two. This coming from Bill Belichick during a press

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>conference mid season last year, asking about Van NOI's leadership

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>and what he means the team quote. A lot of

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>times he does the right thing on something that maybe

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>we haven't gone over. He's one of those guys sometimes

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 1>they get in a situation that we haven't really covered

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.799
<v Speaker 1>and they just do the right thing because they're good

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>instinctive players. He's given us good depth in the kicking game.

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Not that he's out there for every play in the

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>kicking game, but he's responsible for a lot of things.

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 1>So if something happens and we needed him, he'd be

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. And that's a comforting feeling for a coach.

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>He's given us great communication and leadership on and off

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the field. End quote. Van Noy comes down to South

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Florida with more than just football accolades to his name.

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>He was recognized for his continuous involvement in the community,

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>as he received the Ron Burton Community Service Award from

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.559
<v Speaker 1>the New England Patriots. He was also the Patriots Walter

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Payton Man of the Year nominee for the nineteen season.

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Vanny was credited with six and a half sacks last season,

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>but took part in eight total sacks, as a couple

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 1>of those were credited as half sacks. I want to

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>now go over what each of those sacks looked like,

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and we'll be posting videos giving you guys a look

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.160
<v Speaker 1>at the film here of these particular plays, his first

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>last year came in Week three against the New York Jets.

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 1>Vanoi bounces around the formation before settling into a two

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>point stance head up over the tackle. That's your four technique,

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 1>and we saw Flora's do that plenty of times last season,

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>with guys standing up at the line of scrimmage, jumping

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>between gaps and picking their spot before the ball is

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>snapped and going after the quarterback. Van Noy on this

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>play bluffs his rush into the b gap, then crosses

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the guard's face as the looper. On a pick stunt,

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.559
<v Speaker 1>someone picks the player in front of him, he loops

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>around on the free rum and the execution of the

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>scheme creates a run down the pipe at the Jets

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>quarterback for a van Nois sack. In week number four,

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>vanoia lines as an on ball rusher and a two

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>point stands in a wide five technique. It's a two

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>fore front. He pushes upfield and engages the right tackle,

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>attacking his upfield shoulder, and the quarterback tries to step

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>through Van Noy's inside lane, but he redirects and works

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>back underneath for the sack. The old adage tells you

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the worst place to be is behind the quarterback. Vanoy

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 1>did great to recognize this, the quarterback stepping up and

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>jumped forward and made the sack accordingly, Sack number three.

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>In that same game, Week four against Buffalo, van Noi

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>aligns in his two point stands in a wide five

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>technique as an on ball rusher. He runs the arc,

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>attacking the upfielled shoulder. Again, the tackle cannot pace van

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>noi speed as he flattens the edge. He arrives and

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>forces a fumble on the Buffalo quarterback. Sack number four.

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Week six, New York Giants in Foxboro, Vanoi lines up

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>in a backside wide five technique again as an on

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>ball linebacker two point rusher in a two four formation.

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>The Giants quarterback runs a naked bootleg and he tries

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>to beat van Noy to the sideline and cannot as

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Vanoi gets him down for a sack sack number five.

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.599
<v Speaker 1>Week eight against Cleveland, van Noil lines up in a

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>two point stance. Once again that's a common theme here

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 1>as an on ball wide five technique. He gets his

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>feet tangled up on the initial rush, but recovers beautifully

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 1>as he dips under the left tackle for a free

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>run on the Browns quarterback and a sack sack number six.

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Week eleven at Philadelphia, van Noi lines up in a

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 1>week side wide five technique. Once again. His first step

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>works upfield to get the tackle vertically into his set.

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Vanoy then crosses face in an attempt to pick for

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the looper, but the snap is fumbled and Vanoy gets

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>his eyes on the football, locates the quarterback and keeps

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>working and finds the clean up sack sack number seven.

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Week thirteen at the Houston Texans, Vanoy lines up as

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the strong side nine technique as a two point on

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>ball rusher. The tight end releases into the route, and

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the left tackle cannot game depth quick enough to match

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>van Noy's get off. Van Noy flattens the edge and

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>gets to the quarterback for a sack. Finally, in the

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>wild card round, sack number eight versus the Tennessee Titans,

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Vanoi lines up and a wide five technique on the

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>weak side and begins working laterally to the line of scrimmage.

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Pre snap, he dents the line with a bull rush,

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>then spins off the initial block of the right tackle.

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>He finishes the play with effort as he lays out

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.199
<v Speaker 1>and swipes the football out of the Titans quarterback's hands

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>for a sack and force fumble. He gets it done

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>in so many ways, so much fun to watch his tape.

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>And let's go ahead now and get to the interview

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>with new Dolphins linebacker Kyle van Noy. And I've got

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Kyle van Noy, the newest linebacker of your Miami Dolphins. Kyle,

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>First off, how you doing man? Man? I just want

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 1>to say thank you for having me on your podcast.

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>What a blessing it is. I'm excited to get to

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 1>know Finns Nation. The Miami let's go. I'm excited. We're

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>excited to have you, Kyle. It's uh a player that

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I think fits a lot of the things that Dolphins

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>want to do defensively in terms of what you bring

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to the table. And so with the new deal, the

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 1>new team, just want to get your initial feeling about

0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the vibes in Miami. Well, I mean the vibes are sunny.

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's go. You know the vibes. I think they've been

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>there all along, and I hope I can just help

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit. Um. I'm not trying to change anything.

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I think everything that needs to be there is there.

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just a matter of putting it together. Let's go

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>ahead and start there with what you mentioned with what

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>was already here. First off, why the Dolphins. You had

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>a chance to hit free agency and sign anywhere, Why

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 1>would you choose Miami? Well, I respect the coach for one, Uh,

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Flow is a really really good coach. I respect what

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>he's all about. I respect his coaching and what he

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>brings to the table. And then the young group of

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>guys that they have. They have a young, talented group

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that wants to play UM and I feel like I

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>can contribute some leadership and just be a part of

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 1>something special. And it's not gonna be overnight. It's gonna

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>take everybody involved, and I'm excited about it. The past

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 1>is the past right now. We're just focused on the

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>future and what what we can control now, and that's

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>how we play. And I can't wait. And you mentioned

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Kyle the the ability to come in and provide some

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 1>leadership and not the you're gonna be the one that

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 1>comes in here and changes the culture, but to be

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a part of the program and a part of that culture.

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 1>What can you tell Dolphins fans of someone that has

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>played for Brian Flores and knows him so well about

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.560
<v Speaker 1>what the kind of culture we can expect going forward

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>as your number one here in Miami with him was

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>about establishing that culture and getting a player like yourself

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>only furthers that plan. Yeah, I think it really starts

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>just with being smart, fast, and physical, and you put

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>all those three things into it. That's exactly what you

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 1>want in a football team, and that's what he preaches.

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to be a part of it. I'm excited

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 1>to go out there and show people. Um, I'm I'm

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>not gonna say much. I'm just gonna try to do

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>my best and do my part of showing it on

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the football field. That's perfect. It sounds exactly like what

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Flora's loves and a player and Kyle, I had a

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 1>chance to review your sack reel from last year, and

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>every one of those reps is different. You're winning with

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 1>speed off the edge and ability to flatten your looking inside,

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 1>your picking, You're running pick stunts, You're lining up in

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the A gaps and B gaps and getting home that way.

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 1>What is it about your skills that allows you to

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>really satisfy all those different responsibilities and stay on the

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:15.440
<v Speaker 1>field for every play. Well, you know, I I appreciate you,

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, looking at my you know, my my sacks

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:25.560
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot, But I don't I'm not wanting to necessarily

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about those. What I I talk about are the

0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>plays that I had to assist on last year. I

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 1>felt like I had a lot of impactful plays on

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the assists that don't go on a stat sheet. Those

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 1>are what I'm proud about. Forcing an interception or the

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.319
<v Speaker 1>QB to step up and another teammate gets a sack.

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 1>That That's That's what I'm all about, because that right

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>there is team ball isn't about me. It's about the team.

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, other players had to do some things in

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>order for me to get a sack. And that's what

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm all about. I just want to bring that um

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 1>togetherness that it's not just me if I get a

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.959
<v Speaker 1>sack or if you get a sack, it's all of us.

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.000
<v Speaker 1>And that being said, I'm just looking. I'm excited for

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.960
<v Speaker 1>this younger group. I'm excited to get together and get

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.679
<v Speaker 1>to work. Well, let's go ahead and use that perfect

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 1>segue transition right here to talk about this press conference

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I found last year from Bill Belichick mid season where

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>he commends you for your versatility and like you said,

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>not just on defense, but your willingness and the general

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>wherewithal to be able to adapt to what to somewhat

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>foreign situations at times, like, for instance, if they want

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to call on you in the kicking game. Where is

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>it in a player's character or makeup that makes them

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 1>so unique to be able to do all those different roles, defense,

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 1>special teams and otherwise. Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>lie at times. You know, I don't want to do

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 1>those things, but you know what I want to win?

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 1>You if that's if it's a coach asked you to do,

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.480
<v Speaker 1>then you do it because you see the bigger picture.

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>You see other people doing it and you know it works.

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 1>And you don't want to be the person that everyone

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 1>looks at and be like, man, what's he doing? You

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>know you want you want to be the guy that

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 1>steps up to the plate when you're called and get

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 1>it done. And that's what I'm all about. I just

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 1>want to win. And you talk about getting wins. You

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>have two rinks to your credit in the past. How

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>valuable valuable is it to bring that winning pedigree into

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 1>a new team like this? Yeah, I just think it's

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 1>it's the past. I learned so much. I'm so focused

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>on this group we got and the talent that's there

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 1>and just getting to work. And I'm honored to be

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a part of the Miami Dolphins family and I'm I'm

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 1>excited to get to work. The Dolphins also signed a

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of your former teammates and head Caress and a

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Landing Roberts. What can you tell us about those two

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 1>editions of the roster as well. They're both physical players,

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>they both love football, They're hungry. You know, they got

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot to prove and they're gonna be really good.

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>There are guys that love love, like I said, love football,

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>and you roll out of football, you can find them there.

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>They want to play. And Roberts obviously plays the same

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>position as you. Well maybe not the same position, but

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 1>he will be in the linebacker room with you. And

0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:33.640
<v Speaker 1>you've got against some of these guys now in ray

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Kwa mcmill and Jerome Baker twice a year. What do

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you think about this linebacker room now that you're a

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 1>part of it. They're exactly what I'm saying. Those guys

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 1>are fast, they're physical, and they're smart. And I just

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 1>hope I can help out and I hope they want

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 1>to help me out and we we can work together

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 1>as a group as a unit and get the job done.

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna take all of them. And on the other

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.440
<v Speaker 1>side of the football, you've defended Ryan Fitzpatrick and DeVante Parker,

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Mike Asiki, some of these guys twice a year. What

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.879
<v Speaker 1>does the Dolphins offense bring as far as challenges to

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:18.439
<v Speaker 1>an opposing defense? Fits? Magic Baby? How excited? You know?

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.679
<v Speaker 1>The one thing I respect about Fits is it doesn't

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 1>matter what noise is going on you know, backup starter.

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 1>He's the same person and I respect that. His confidence

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>level is huge and you can tell everybody in the

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.280
<v Speaker 1>locker room feeds off that. And I'm excited to get

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.120
<v Speaker 1>to work with him. I've heard nothing but really good

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 1>things about him. He's a really good leader, and he's

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the same person each and every day. And that's who

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you want at your at the quarterback position. Someone that

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.479
<v Speaker 1>is gonna lead, someone who's going to be the same person.

0:17:56.560 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>You know you can count on them. And I'm excited

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 1>to see them the magic firsthand and be on the

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 1>good side of it for sure. And talking about DeVante

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Parker and Mike get Sicky there, we talked to Byron Jones,

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:11.359
<v Speaker 1>who told us that he can do anything he wants

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.159
<v Speaker 1>on a basketball court in terms of dunk in the

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 1>basketball off of a two foot jump, but he can't

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.199
<v Speaker 1>handle the one ft jump quite the same. Do you

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 1>do you hoop? And can you dunk? And would you

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>compete in a dunk contest with some of these guys?

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean to see, I don't think I can compete,

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.400
<v Speaker 1>but I can dunk. You know, I'm more I'm more

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 1>of I'm more of a grimy basketball player. I'm old

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.639
<v Speaker 1>school Jim Duncan box out, you know, don't need to

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.399
<v Speaker 1>be all flashy, shooted off the backboard. Fundamentals maybe and

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 1>fundamental getting down that in that squat, in that stance

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and just hitting the bank shots. Huh yeah, then they're

0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>don't be mad because it doesn't look pretty, but it's

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.320
<v Speaker 1>no talents as two points. Hey, who brought the who

0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.399
<v Speaker 1>brought the Chicago Bulls together? One of those titles, it

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:00.919
<v Speaker 1>was Dennis Brow a man, So I guess that's kind

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 1>of your role on the team. Hey, there you go, there,

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you go back to football, Kyle. Just ultimately, in terms

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.159
<v Speaker 1>of kind of taking a broad stroke to it, what

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.719
<v Speaker 1>exactly are the Dolphins getting in Kyle van Noy on

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the field and in terms of the leadership, that's a

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 1>good question. Well we will see, we will see. And

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:24.879
<v Speaker 1>how about what are you looking forward to most when

0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:30.440
<v Speaker 1>you get down to Miami. I'm excited to meet fans,

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to get to work with my teammates. I'm

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.920
<v Speaker 1>excited to play football. Uh. You know, we've were going

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 1>through a crazy time in this world with this coronavirus,

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:47.359
<v Speaker 1>and um, we know we'll all come together and be

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.320
<v Speaker 1>one and I hope we can continue to stay one.

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know, with this football season, it's gonna mean

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot more, especially after what people are going through.

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Um see those that are working in the medical field,

0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:07.080
<v Speaker 1>those that are risking their lives to treat patients, and

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, my hat goes off to them, and I

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:14.879
<v Speaker 1>hope everyone really thinks about it, really shows love to

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.879
<v Speaker 1>them because they deserve it, what they're going through, what

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 1>their families are going through. And I hope, you know,

0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.800
<v Speaker 1>this football season we can put on a show for him. Well,

0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 1>it's no surprise that you have that take on that, Kyle,

0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 1>because you were the Patriots Walter Payton Man of the

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.359
<v Speaker 1>your nominee last year. So great stuff as always, Kyle,

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:34.680
