From the Baptist Health 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.880 Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:11.640 This is. 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:14.720 The Drive Time Podcast. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.679 Number one rule in broadcasting, play the hits and I 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.640 know we all want the latest on the contract situation 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.759 of QB one two A tunga bi looa. He's here, 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.080 he's practicing, he dazzled as he tends to do. We'll 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.040 cover that in just a moment, but first let's go 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.800 ahead and play some sound from coach McDaniel on his 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:39.400 outlook and the relationship he and Tongue Bioa share and 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.319 how it's unaffected by any of the contract situation. 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.440 You know, it's important for me as the head coach 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.880 and my connection with the players and what my bottom 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:54.760 line job is to maximize the abilities that I know 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.680 where my place is in my relationship with him. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.280 I'm not involved in those things. 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.640 My job is to focus on him, him getting better solely. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:14.200 I think in terms of uh hedging, Uh you know, 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:20.000 I I know, I know as an organization, uh you know, 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:25.639 we've priority prioritized it by entering in negotiations a long 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.120 time ago whenever that started. You know, that's that by 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:34.160 doing that, you know, and and I think it speaks 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:38.720 to it speaks to kind of how important it is 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.320 both sides that they're relentlessly working on it. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.320 Great things take time, you know. 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.720 I don't think the one thing that's come about this 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.760 whole process is I am very, very confident in my 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.119 relationship with two and how he under he can separate 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:01.440 the business entity from uh, you know, the ultimate he knows. 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.440 Any any way you cut it. 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:09.480 Our focus has to be on what it looks like 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:10.919 when he's playing football. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:15.280 Mostly seven on seven work for Tua and one period 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:19.280 of team drills eleven on eleven, which was the formula 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.000 we saw back in OTAs. And so I mean some 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.519 players hold out, some players hold in. Tua is here 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.400 working while his contract gets resolved. And it's kind of 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.960 funny because I talked about the incremental improvements in mechanics, 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:37.400 release gas, easy gas on those throws, and I get 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.520 the natural inclination to ask, what happens if this, and 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.880 this being what if he were to miss a practice 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.840 or a week. What if he's not practicing until the 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.600 Atlanta week or after the Falcons game and misses a 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.760 preseason game that he's probably not going to play in anyways, 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.360 Well he is, which we got that resolve today. But 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.160 I wanted to lead with this because all you had 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:03.000 to do if you wanted to put any concerns about 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:09.680 Tua's mindset or perceived lack of participation and how that 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.000 might have impacted his game. All you had to do 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.720 was watch a period of practice to see what we've 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.640 been seeing all off season program with this guy. Because 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.760 what an absolute clinic he put on throwing the seven 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:25.240 on seven passes, like an absolute clinic of timing, anticipation, accuracy, 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.080 and really showing you the five pitches as it were 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.760 in his arsenal that he can locate for strikes and 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.960 also waste pitches in timely spots, which doesn't really apply 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.960 to a baseball analogy for a quarterback because you don't 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.560 want to waste throws. But I digress, and what I'm 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.640 saying is this guy has every pitch that you need 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.120 in the back. He threw a honey hole shot right 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.479 the essential cover two beater where you fit the ball 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.600 into the corner underneath the safety over the top of 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.760 the corner with that safety either in half field or 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.159 third field coverage where they're focused on the perimeter between 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.320 the hash and the premi and that makes it a 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.360 tough window, and they're closing down on that sideline trying 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.920 to decrease the window for the quarterback and receiver, which 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.760 you then have to really hit well on your timing throws. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.120 And I was sitting up next to the great Oj McDuffie, 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.200 and we were watching these and he kept saying like, wow, 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.440 great throw, and he was I was like, that's you know, 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.080 that's too was Bread and butter Man. That's where he 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.400 excels AND's like, well, Danny did that stuff too. I'm like, yeah, 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.640 I like comparing him to Dan Marino because Dan Marino 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.080 is probably the best to ever do it. So if 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.360 you're doing that, you're doing something right. He ripped this 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.760 fifteen yard throw that got over the top of the 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.800 cornerback and then had that little humpback action where it 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.400 descends before the safety gets over the top to make 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.760 a play on the football. He threw one ball to 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.039 Tyreek Hill where it was two steps before the break, 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.600 which I'm used to the ball coming out like on 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.880 the step before the break, but this one just seemed 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.880 super early. And I kind of feel like you got 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.680 the sense that as we've discussed over the last two years, 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.280 remember year one, all those deep shots that we had 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.239 for a big play, like Tyreek kind of caught those 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.280 on the back shoulder pad. Advanced to twenty twenty three, 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.279 and all of a sudden, he's catching them in the 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.360 bread basket and taking off even quicker. I feel like 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.440 the next evolution of timing and ball placement showed up 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.640 today because he just kept putting these balls on Tyreek 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.480 Hill in a way that just seems like mathematically impossible 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.000 when you factor in how early you have have to 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.279 anticipate it and how fast and how quick Tyreek moves 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.880 to make that all time up and be in sync 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.599 with each other. He threw a touch pass up the 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.920 sideline to Devon Achan for a big game on a 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.160 little wheel route where he put the ball right in 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.599 the bread basket on a full sprint to another guy 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.320 who also runs a sub four three forty not easy 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.200 to do now. I also saw him in individual drills, 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.839 which is throwing on air, of course, but just ripping 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.280 these thirty yard frozen ropes where the ball's jumping off 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.919 of his hand and quite frankly, I haven't seen that 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.719 type of gas on his throws in the past. I 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.320 saw him throw a strike to Eric Azuokama along the 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.960 perimeter where the corner undercut it and tried to make 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.320 a play, but Tua being Tua, throws this pass high 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.600 and away that gives Azukama a chance to extend and 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.080 high point the football and the corner couldn't get a 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.520 hand on it, and it turns out to be a completion. 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.080 He hit in breakers on time slants in the second window. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.960 In the first window, RPO looks putting his guys into 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.440 space after the throw, and then his last throw of 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.600 the day was the sour note, but not really his fault. 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.440 I do think that Sarandiel made a hell of a 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.240 play on this football, but he rips this shot into 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.920 tight coverage that deflected off the chest or shoulder area 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.280 of Brax and Barrios and Zeke Vandenberg. Johnny on the 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.520 spot was there to make a diving catch before it 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.880 hit the ground. Great catch, but just a sharp day 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.120 from quarterback, one that really accentuates where he worked this 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.040 offseason on the v low on the quicker release, which 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.800 is kind of hard to believe, right, Like, Oh, Randy 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.840 Johnson's fastball just got faster. That seems like a problem 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:57.560 for the opposition. 0:07:58.120 --> 0:07:59.080 So that's the hit. 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.200 Let's move to the next thing here, And I want 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:05.520 to talk about this collection of soundbites. And I say 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.160 this all the time, right, Nothing beats confirmation on thoughts 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:13.480 or takes you have in this industry from players and coaches, 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.680 because who else would you rather measure your work right? 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:17.840 Your homework that you do. 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.200 Like the test, the grade you get is what the 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.120 coaches and players tell you about your test that you took. 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.640 And anyone who asked me all offseason what I think 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.240 of the offense. I just did a radio hit for 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.800 the Raiders in Vegas and I was like, I think 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.839 this offense can literally challenge the points record because of 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.760 the additions they made to round out the weaknesses we 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.920 discovered down the stretch last season. And I just think 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:45.599 they are vastly more dangerous because of the additional. 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:46.200 Weapons that they added here. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.120 And even before you get to the personnel, notice the 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.960 theme there talking about Tua of all the balls to 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.440 the perimeter. You pull up our tape last year in 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.800 games that we didn't win, games where I thought the 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.480 defense had good game plans, like the Titans game for instance, 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.000 like cover your eyes and ears if you don't want 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.679 to hear about that game. But though Titans would pull 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:07.400 their weak side corner into this almost will backer position 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.880 to help fit and convert into a to insert versus 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.880 the run, and that would open up this backside speed 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.480 out route that we never really got to and I 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.120 would wager I would I can't do that, but if 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.040 in my mind, I would wager the coaches saw this 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.359 this offseason and wanted to include it in the emphasis 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.560 of forcing defenses to defend every blade of grass on 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.640 the football field. I also saw Tyreek run a static 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.440 hookup route, which is kind of against the general offensive 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.440 philosophy of this Shanahan tree in the versions of the 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.080 Shanahan tree that have branched off of it. But if 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.440 that's what's there, and it's third and four, and let's 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.480 say they tilt the coverage to put a roof on 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.960 waddle or put a roof on the route, they think 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.680 that Reek is going to run down the field. Okay, 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.120 let's throw a five yard hookup to our best player. 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.280 It might not be an explosive play or a highlight play, 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.560 but you know what, it keeps you on the field. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.480 The longer you're on the field, the more chances you 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.280 have to hit big plays. So I love the idea, 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.760 I love the execution on day one, and in fact, 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.800 Tyreek Hill on Tuesday address this at his press conference 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.839 about the added weapons and how he believes that helps 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.840 the Dolphins sustain more drives and accomplish everything we just 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:19.400 talked about. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.679 Well, for us man going back and just looking at 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.680 all of it from a veteran standpoint, I feel like 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:27.600 we have to be able to stay on the field. 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:27.760 You know. 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.800 Third downs are like huge downs for us. Like for us, 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.280 it's either boom or bus. Like we one of those 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.640 teams that like we don't got the long ball. It's like, uh, oh, hell, 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.000 he's gonna be a long game. So for us, having 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.240 a target like Obj, having a guy like Joe Newsmith 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.520 in our on our team that can help extend those 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:50.760 drives are gonna be huge. 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:51.280 You know. 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.200 Even having you know, a healthy a chain, having a 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.760 healthy waddle, having a healthy myself, having a healthy moster 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:03.080 you know, helps all the day, you know. And that's 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.600 one thing that I know that that's what we took 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.760 head on as an individual group, as an individual offense 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.320 without the coaches. It's like, hey, here's what we're gonna 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.240 get better at, you know, outside of what the coaches got, 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.000 Here's what we think we need to get better at 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:18.480 to help this team moving forward. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:19.720 So I think. 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.800 Just being able to extend drives, you know, have those 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.880 twelve play drives. Have those ten play drives versus having 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.400 a five plate and under drive where it's like, oh, 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.560 he hits Wada on a seventy five yard post and 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.439 it's like, oh, strike up the band, and it's like, bro, 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.240 we can't do that every game. Unfortunately, we can't. As 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.560 fast as we are and as much as people want 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.240 to tell us how special we are, we can't do that. 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.480 We got to be able to, you know, have good drives. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.000 So that's what we believe we got to get better at. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.559 So you heard him mention Odell and obviously John hus 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.080 Smith there, John who caught a couple of passes today 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.000 and the first one that he caught there was more 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.200 contact than I think I've seen in a day one 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.880 of non padded practice in terms of guys flying around 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.960 a little bit, like some safeties were getting close on 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.640 some of these tight window throws and tagging. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:08.720 Off a little bit, I suppose. 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.200 But one of the things I saw that really impressed 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.920 me was John hus Smith catching a pass. And this 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.959 is very very much in the Shanahan offensive system, the 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.439 McDaniel offensive system, a core coaching point, catch the ball 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.560 and get the hell up field man, don't go sideways, 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.040 get upfield and maximize the yards and run to space, 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.600 run to daylight. And that's what John H. Smith's entire 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.840 game is. And that's what he did on the very 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.679 first touch of twenty twenty four as a member of 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.400 the Aqua Orange. He drops the shoulder into the safety 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.360 and like I think it was Elijah Campbell, I can 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.160 remember who was exactly. He kind of like closed down 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.160 and then like saw that John wu was all about 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.240 business and get off the tracks because here comes big 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.000 number nine steamrolling down the field and then he ran 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.040 and weaved his way through traffic all the way to 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.480 the end zone. I saw him do the exact same 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.240 thing on the second catch he made. Then I saw 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.679 Tanner Connor catch a pass and that and Connor's got 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.880 some wiggle man he can he can go, And. 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:04.640 Then he did it again. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.080 So I asked John new Smith after practice, I saw 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.960 four balls go to tight ends and all four of 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.880 them ended up in the end zone after the catch. 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.880 Is that a tight end room directive? Did you bring 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.240 that here? I know your game is yack, but I'm 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.880 curious what the coaching point or maybe what you have 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.000 imparted personally on the tight end room. Let's go back 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:24.680 to Johnny Smith here to hear his thoughts. 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.559 And you know, we all, like I said, we all 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.960 out here. You know, we all here trying to be 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.840 the best version of ourselves. Man. So you know me 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.800 and my career, I've made my name and and and 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:39.040 establishing an identity for myself in this league with my 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.000 run after the catch. So that's something I just trying 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.520 to continue to rep as much as I can every 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.600 time I get the opportunity. Each individual player has their 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.440 own goals and minds on how they. 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:50.319 Feel like they should practice. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:51.840 That's just the way I feel I should practice. 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.080 I know it's day one, and I was excited as 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.640 hell about this guy when we got him. But I 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.839 could definitely definitely see us looking back around Christmas time 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.880 and being like, oh yeah, John new Smith was like 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.680 the difference, the addition on offense that really took this 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.040 offense and fixed some of its woes from a season 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.000 to go. I wanted to also put this SoundBite to 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:13.679 sort of put a bow on this point and take 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:14.640 us into our next one. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:14.880 Here. 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.560 I asked Rahim most of the exact same thing basically 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.480 about you know, the transition into the third year of 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.360 the offense, but how it evolves and what is next 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.760 for this offense. Let's go ahead and go to the 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.200 Dolphins all time single season touchdown record holder. 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.880 I'm very excited for this offense. You know, last year 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.320 we left a lot of I felt like we left 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.280 a lot of meat out on the bone and in 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.400 regards to plays and yards, and we were still the 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.400 number one offense in the league. Now that we add 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.440 the additions of you know, John New and Odell and 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.160 and getting all these key players back, it's definitely it's 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.920 definitely an exciting moment to be able to go out 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.160 here and you know, high flying offense, have fun run 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.120 around and you know, become even even better than we 0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:58.840 were last year. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.280 And then on top of Beckham and John who I 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.480 keep making sure to add a second year eight Chan 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.040 into the equation because this time last year, like I 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:07.080 think the Dolphins. 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.640 Knew what they had, But did fans know about Devon 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:09.000 h Chen. 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.600 He didn't even play in the opener against the Chargers, right, 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.720 so he didn't really know what you had there. And 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.360 then week three you sure as hell knew what you 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:16.800 had there. But I think that he is the next 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:18.640 star playmaker in the league, a guy that if it 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.960 was you know, two thousand and nine again, he could 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.840 do what Chris Johnson did and run for two thousand 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:26.040 yards if he got the appropriate workload. I digress on 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.360 that point, but I mentioned the catch early on. He 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.680 also hit a run where he wound his way through 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.320 the traffic in the first and second level. He got 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.000 to the backside of the blocking, which if Devon h 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:41.120 Chen successfully presses front side and gets backside, like, you 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:42.800 might want to get the field goal blocked team out 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.880 there because he's probably gonna score a touchdown. But he 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.560 got through this thing to the backside, wiggled through the backers, 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.520 and then the way he excels off of those cuts. 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.600 I talk about it all the time. The flat Stanley 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.880 comparison is so damn true because this guy splits defenders 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.400 without losing acceleration, and he does it off of these cuts. 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.520 It makes him look like the Swiss Bob sled team 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.360 in Cool Runnings versus the first time the Jamaicans get 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.080 on the ice, Remember how they couldn't walk and John 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:09.760 Candy's trying to teach him how to walk on the ice, 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:14.360 Like this guy is just Einsviein's dry splitting defenders getting 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:15.920 all the way down the field for a sixty five 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.640 yard touchdown run. I'm not sure the defense would agree 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.240 it was a touchdown, but based upon his tape what 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:22.960 I know from this guy, I think he scores in 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.120 the play. So more home runs from Devon Chien. And 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:30.440 while those additional incumbent and expected bigger role players are great, 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.000 we do still have two of the top ten receivers 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.480 in the National Football League right and they both got 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.440 after it. So Tyreek uncovers deep on a shot from 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.960 rookie Gavin Hardison, who learned a lesson today. Gavin Harrison 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.840 learned a lesson. You better throw the deep shot early 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.280 to Tyreek because he got behind the defense and Gavin 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.800 didn't throw it until I don't know, thirty or forty 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.160 yards down the field. You have to throw that thing 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.360 within ten to fifteen yards or else he's gonna outrun 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.200 it and then you're gonna get coverage that finds it 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.320 and it turns into a And that's exactly what happened. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.679 Only the pick got dropped by rookie Jason McRae, so 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.840 Tyreek got deep. He caught the first ball of practicing 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:09.119 the hookup r I'm talking about. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.239 He just kept making plays. Then he called the day 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.040 later on and kind of with Tua. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.440 He got some reps with the two, three and four quarterbacks, 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.720 but it was less than it was with Tua early on. 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.720 The other player as involved early was Jalen Waddle, and 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:27.080 my goodness, he caught this quick hitter from Tua where 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:28.560 I think we would have had a chance to see 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.560 the rookie year Waddle catch against the Panthers where he 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.159 ripped off like fifty eight yards and it looked like 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.240 he was in fast forward compared to everybody else in 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.320 the field. He did the exact same thing in this practice. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.200 He also had maybe my favorite rep of the day 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.840 when he had this sick release uncovered off the press, 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.159 stacked and broke inside and the ball from Hartisin was 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:50.600 way up the ladder. And I've seen him do this 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.959 before and we kind of got used to him over 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.879 the course of his career body catching. Even when he 0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:00.159 elevates for fifty to fifty balls, those days are gone, man. 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:01.720 We talked about it on the podcast. 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.080 With those workout videos he posts over the course of 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.359 the summer, he's catching the football with his hands now 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.760 and it looks very natural and he's plucking it. He's 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.080 got strong hands. He climbed the ladder. I don't remember 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.040 what his vertical jump was at the combine. He didn't 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.440 he didn't have a combine workouts right because it was 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.480 the pandemic year. But he jumped like thirty five inches 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:21.879 to snatch this thing. And then you know when you 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:23.600 were a kid and you had the hot wheels toys 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.520 where you pull it back and then let it go 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.240 and it takes off because of the I don't know 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.679 the mechanics behind that, the science because I don't know science, 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:33.840 but it looked like one of those cars. Like he 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.800 hit the ground and just took off running immediately. Pure 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.360 speed and electricity from the Penguin, from Jada, from Dubski. 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.520 He also made a tough catch in traffic where he 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.719 kind of got popped by Jordan Poyer. Hey don't do that, 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.440 but hung on as he went to the ground, and 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.679 really the first team offense and you guys like, not 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.439 the first team exactly, but Reek waddle to a chan 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.120 John or those guys were rolling. But the defense turned 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.160 the tide very quickly in this practice, and I don't 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.879 have specific offenseive line evaluations. I'll talk about it here 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.879 in a second, but they got their butts handed to 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.440 them against the pass rush, and the pass rush made 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.199 life very difficult on the other quarterbacks. Four picks, a 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.520 handful of sacks I think I had five on the day, 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.760 and forcing some very erratic decisions and throwers to put 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.440 the ball in harm's way. Really tough day for the 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.920
