WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Bucs Preview, Training Camp Final Takeaways 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:06.040 Two on the move, going deep Speedways past from the 0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:11.120 Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Help Training Complex. This 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:18.640 is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's goy my advands in 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:29.880 the playoffs? What is up Dolphins? And welcome to the 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.280 Drive Time Podcast. I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.680 on today's show, training Camp is a rap. That's five 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.760 for me with the team six in total in the books, 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.880 and I'll come away from this one with five over 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.760 arching themes to take away from training Camp, my standout 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.199 players and award an orange jersey to one player on 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:53.040 all three phases of the game offense, defense, and special teams. 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.640 Plus our last preseason game preview takes a look at 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.640 some of the matchups that could inform us tomorrow night 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:05.320 in Tampa Bay. From Tampa Bay, This is the Drivetime Podcast. 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:10.319 Ye Caffie, So, I had this realization last time I 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.720 was by the bay eating some clay we just may 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.000 in twenty twenty two, and not being a Florida man 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.759 until twenty twenty and not really leaving South Florida until 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.640 that twenty twenty two trip outside of one trip to 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.960 Fort Myers where I learned that they are not fans 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.880 of people from South Florida. And I learned that by 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.199 wearing a Dolphins hat in new publics and being told 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:35.440 to go back to Miami, which was an interesting welcome 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.000 to southwest Florida. But did you non Florida folks know 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.560 that Tampa is the name of one city in the 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.160 region of Tampa Bay. Who the hell knew that? I 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:46.720 didn't until a couple of years ago, and it threw 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.080 me off again this time. I always thought Tampa Bay 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.559 and Saint Pete were kind of like Minneapolis and Saint Paul. 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.360 But you've got clear Water in there as well, so 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.440 it's like the Tri Cities, which is a town that 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.720 I grew up in Washington, the Tri Cities. Have I 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.560 lost you guys yet this and I'm sticking to this 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.760 all camp long. I have not been able to keep 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.360 the podcast short unless we have a walkthrough day, I'm 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.680 going over thirty sometimes a lot more than that. But 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.440 this show is going to be shorter than that. I 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.600 promise you guys that we're going to do five quick, 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.799 overarching big picture takeaways from training camp so far. We'll 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.760 do the offense and defensive previews for the game and 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.400 segment two, and I'll give you my players of practice 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.680 of camp I should say on offense, defense, and special teams. 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.919 And I'm sorry if some of these are tad redundant 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.000 to what you've heard on this podcast or even the 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.239 last one of these we did back when we had 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.320 the day off between the last practice the practice week 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.200 of Game one with the Falcons. But to me, there's 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.760 value and repetition here for the simple fact that you're 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.800 getting further confirmation. If I said that two weeks ago 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.519 and I say it here, that means the last two 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.239 weeks have only solidified that point for me. So here 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.720 we go. Number one, we have footage of it now. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.120 Previously it was only me relaying what my eyes had 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.600 seen in practice. But I think Tua is a better 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.000 quarterback than he was last year in just about every 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:01.959 single way. I think the ball jumps off his hand 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.760 with more gumption. I think he's moving within and outside 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.680 of the pocket better important to differentiate those two. But 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.840 the feet are just overall quicker, They're choppier. There's a 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.720 better understanding of the relationship of all the parts that 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.960 operate in tandem from a mechanic standpoint, which go figure. 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.680 You get a quarterback coach, and you kind of work 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.160 those things out in terms of the physical aspects of 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.079 a quarterbacks coach, whereas the quarterback coach you work for 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.720 and the team is going to be more scheme and 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.400 play but between the ears centric and focused than the 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.520 mechanical aspect of things. Like the easy example is the 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.080 way that he moves to his right. You guys saw 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.160 in the game. It's just different. I know, I wrote 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.640 down I think, but I know he's a more confident player. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.840 He's a more confident leader. I think the team follows 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.280 him even more than they already did, and I think 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:52.440 his headspace is as good as it could be. And overall, 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.160 just how lucky he is as a man with a 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.720 beautiful wife and beautiful kids, and the way his teammates 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.720 believe in him, the affirmation from the players and the 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.760 team or the players in the NFL, I should say 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.880 to vote him umber thirty six overall in the NFL. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.200 And of course the obvious one, Hey, being a two 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.040 hundred million dollar player should give you some confidence. I 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.360 think this beautiful collection of things you heard him say 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.960 it took two years to undo some of the negativity 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.599 that he felt previously. It reminds me of Miked Up 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.760 in twenty twenty two when he had been pulled one 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.040 of the many times that he was yanked from blowout victories, 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.280 where coach McDaniel was telling him how high level he 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.919 was playing, and you could almost sense a resistance to 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.320 that intua his voice, to accepting that high praise. But 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.760 then you see him talk now and it's total command 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.440 of every room that he's in. It's tangible, and man 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.200 with the quarterback position gets better. There's no better path 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:43.680 for improvement for an offense, especially when that quarterback has 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.760 already been pacing the NFL in stats the last two years. 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.560 My second big picture takeaway is the added weapons on 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:54.360 offense will make defense need answers beyond ten, seventeen, thirty 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.080 one and for that matter, twenty eight as well. Like 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.520 you already have four stars and you've got more now 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.200 you can break the offense down from last year. I 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.400 think this will always you know, bar repeating the number 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.080 one offense in football into four parts, and you can 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.279 do that in two separate parts. So first ten and 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.839 seventeen they are the guys, right, And it was a 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.880 down year for Wallawst. Injuries still surpassed one thousand yards, 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.560 but twenty eight hundred and thirteen yards and seventeen tds 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.040 for those two players last year, the rest of the 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.800 Dolphins receiving corps or the rest of their offense, I 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.440 should say, eighteen hundred and eighty five yards with thirteen touchdowns, 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.480 and if you include thirty one and twenty eight, they 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.640 gave us three hundred and seventy two yards in the 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.520 air and six touchdowns, so the touchdown split was twenty 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.039 three to seven. And in the run game, Raheem and 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.040 Devon combined for eighteen hundred and twelve yards and twenty 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.839 six rushing touchdowns. Those numbers are great, but one area 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.599 you can explore adding more, and that's what they did. 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.279 And you know what with John new Smith, with OBJ, 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.440 with Jalen Wright, with Malik Washington, we know what these 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.480 guys offer. But as we've covered at length in the podcast, 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.000 and as we've heard from Coach from TUA, from Austin Jackson, 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.719 from alec Ingole, from Frank Smith, really all the guys, 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.280 we know they have schematics to maximize that aspect as well. 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.520 It was my hypothesis going into camp, and the hypothesis 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.160 to this point, to me, has held Drue more options 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.280 in the short intermediate game, more vertical field stretchers from 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.360 multiple positions outside of Reek and Waddle another very talented 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.680 back that I think affords Devon the opportunity to be 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.839 more versatile. It's all there, and I'm very, very excited 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:29.280 about that. The third overarching theme is that they fit 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:33.119 their pieces on defense to match what the defensive coordinator wants. 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.839 First things first, here, adding players is not as easy 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.360 as you think it might be, or as Madden might 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.919 have taught us as kids who remembers negotiating free agent contracts, 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.960 and when you submit the contract and Madden, the prompt 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.760 just comes back, Reggie Wayne has rejected your offer. Then 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.440 all you do is bump the salary up, maybe you 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.120 add another year, and what ah, Reggie Wayne is now yours. 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.480 He was always my freeging target those early Madden years. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.640 I wanted to pair him with Chris Chambers and Ricky Williams. 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.640 That was my dream offense back then. But that's not 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.719 how it works. Obviously, you need mutual interest to make 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.720 things happen. Did you guys watch the Giants hard knocks? 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.320 You don't get everyone that you want to get there's 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.000 a reason they run through scenario's ABCD all the way 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.200 down to scenario T or whatever you want to call it. 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.360 My point is that the Dolphins are a destination. Part 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.920 of that is Miami. Part of that is the tax 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.720 free nature of our estate income tax here. Part of 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.920 that is playing with this head coach. Part of that 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.760 is the belief in this team's potential. Kalaias Campbell said 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.880 that he took a lot less to be with Miami 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.320 and his contract is very cheap. Jordan Poyer has said that, 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.720 OBJ has said that it's been a theme down here. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.480 So for them to create that, you know what it 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.000 allows you to do. It allows you to not adjust 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.320 your scheme to the player. It allows you to find 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.920 the player that bets best fits your ideal scheme and 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.720 real quick back to those guys that I mentioned there, 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.560 I see this theme that develops when guys have like 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.000 a down year or maybe even a couple of down years, 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.280 like John new Smith, for instance, in New England, goes 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.160 to Atlanta last year, has a good year, and there's 0:07:58.200 --> 0:07:59.800 a sentiment that, like, ah, he's a mid player, he 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.280 can play anymore, like good players are always good players. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.120 It's about how they get maximized and utilized. And all 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.520 the guys I just mentioned are really good football players, 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.680 and when they come into a program that's already established 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.320 and good and has stars around them, they're going to provide. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.160 They're going to give you production. They're going to be 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.520 good players. So just put that little feather in your 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.360 cap and think about that as we go forward. Because 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.680 I saw I heard some stuff about Johnny Smith on 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.160 the Heat the Call podcast, which I love. By the way, 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.400 they're back and they're better than ever, but they were 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.160 calling Joony Smith a mid tight and I'm like, bro, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.160 you don't even you don't know, You just don't know 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.960 what you're talking about. So for those guys to create 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:34.720 that and allows you to get the players that fits 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:39.000 your scheme ideally, Jordan Poyer's presence, interchangeability and like minded 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.880 wavelength as Javon Holland from a mental standpoint, not to 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.640 mention Marcus May, I think both Poe and May really 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.960 unlocked Javon to be more flexible, just like how Kendall 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:53.240 Fuller's ability to play inside Unlockshalen Ramsey to do more 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.679 as well. And the secondary as a whole, they can 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.600 go corner heavy and sub. It can go safety heavy 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.920 and sub. And this is all by design and though 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:03.800 we haven't seen it to full effect in a game, 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.120 you see it in practice. I mentioned Kaleius Campbell, the 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:11.200 way that he and seeler massive long, powerful, smart defensive tackles. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.120 What pairs well behind that? Well, what are the nineties 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.720 and early two thousands Dolphins have but Timbow and Zach 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:21.000 It's the same thinking, instinctive, fast key reading, explosive smart 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.480 backers behind physically imposing tackles that can eat up blocks 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.080 in spades, and the rotation guys off of that all 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.920 feature something a little bit different. You pair that with 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.439 edges who have insane zero to sixty f one Grand 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.000 Prix getoffs, and how that pairs with your size on 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.600 the interior and backers that can rush. To me, it 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.040 was a clear plan. I think they executed that plan 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.240 in the offseason, and I think we've seen it bear 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.680 fruit so far here through the month of August. Let's 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.080 go a little bit faster here takeaway number four, as 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.480 I am really excited to see what coach Crossman's does, 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.800 especially with this new dynamic kickoff. I think we have 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.760 the return options to really exploit any of the early 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:00.920 mistakes you might see in the beginning parts of the 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.440 season with this new concept. I also think we're just 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.760 better equipped this year. You know, God for babe. We 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.200 have a decent season with injury luck right, but Saran, 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.800 Elijah Alec, Duke Durham to name a few, that's a 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.920 really nice special team's cores and the battery is all 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.200 the same, which you hope breeds even better results through continuity. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.640 I'm excited about the Special Teams unit for the first 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.160 time in a while. And finally, big picture item number five, 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.160 the rookie class looks really nice and would go a 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.080 long way towards really extending this window or team cycle 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.840 down the road. You have to win as a GM 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.120 in the margins if you are to sustain success and 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.160 keeps things rolling for years and years. Is as the 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.040 victorious status quo as it were, and we've seen the 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.120 stars get paid. I'm sure there are more to come 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.760 with guys like JP and Javon Holland entering year four, 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.160 and then with twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.280 and limited picks and unknown nature of those classes as 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.680 a whole, the returns you've gotten so far on this 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.960 class are exactly what you'd hoped for. They've done that 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.800 while also stocking the cupboard of picks next year nicely 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.920 as well. So that's a good way to find rookie 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.920 contract production to balance all the star talent you've acquired 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.280 and compensated. And I want to go ahead and add 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.000 a sixth the big picture item, a bonus item for 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.360 you guys here, because I'm all positive to the first 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:16.679 five and I do believe this team is gonna win 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.679 a lot of football games this year, twelve maybe even 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.679 thirteen games, and some playoff games as well. But how 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.839 about the concerns? I have a few of them. Short 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.880 yarde offense, How short yardage offense? How will this team 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.719 perform when they have to move the chains on third 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.079 and two or less? Injuries It's been a problem in 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.480 the last two years, and there have been a bunch 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.800 of them so far in camp so far, nothing major, 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.520 but hopefully that continues with a better injury luck just 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.800 general roll out this entire season. And then the depth 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.280 of the run defense, I mean, the short yarge offense 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.240 goes back to an offensive line I don't think has 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.160 a lot of depth on it. But that's literally it. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.839 From a depth perspective. You know, every team has these 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.320 trap doors, and for me, you know, we have a couple. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.520 I look at the defensive back depth. We have too 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.000 many guys to keep. We have too many tight ends 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.800 to keep. We have too many running backs to keep. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:03.880 When the receivers get back, we have too many of 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.360 those guys to keep as well. We have too many 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.360 linebackers to keep, too many edge guys to keep. Like, 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.960 every group is loaded. But if you lose ninety two 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.839 or even you know Campbell's that's tough. If we lose 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:19.120 twenty or eleven at linebacker, I think that makes it 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.280 a little bit tougher to give you that same run 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.640 game production. I just think the alternatives we've seen in 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.040 those spots give me a little bit of pause. So 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.920 that's my one collection of concerns here as we move forward. 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.560 I don't think that the cold weather, all that stuff, 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.840 I think is overblown, So I'm not going to include 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:39.640 that here. My training camp Orange jerseys are as follows 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.839 for eighteen practices that we saw as media members and 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.880 fans alike. For special teams, it was Elijah Campbell. I 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.880 thought he was so impressive with everything he did, and 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.880 his defensive performance was really really strong as well. But 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.600 how he just blew up anyone trying to jam him 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.319 as a gunner, the way he got down there on 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.480 game tapes or in the games, and how I saw 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.160 it on tape, with how proficient he was, and how 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.680 he maximized the you know, the punts of Jake Bailey 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.320 to get the most out of those with minimal returns. 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.120 Elijah Campbell was the best player on special teams for me, 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.400 all camplong. He gets the orange jersey for special teams. 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.839 On defense, I'm going with Jordan Brooks. He missed a 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.120 little bit of time in the middle of the camp, 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.839 but I think that his tone, setting, his leadership, his flexibility, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.600 I think that he has a very good chance to 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.520 have a ro Kwan Smith type of year in this 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.600 Anthony Weaver defense. Is he has to have a player 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.720 as ro Qwan Smith. I don't think so. But I 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.440 think that he's very, very good. He's pro Bowl good 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.960 and he is a perfect fit for this defense. He's 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.160 a perfect fit for David Long. He's a perfect fit 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:44.360 behind Campbell and Steeler. He is my defensive orange jersey 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.480 and on offense, who is it going to be to 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.480 a tongue Bai Lowe. I mean, he just was so 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.599 so good all camp long. The explosive plays, the checkdowns, 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.000 took care of the football, scrambled, made some plays, completed 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.960 five passes on all five of us attempts in the 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.760 preseason game for a touchdown, taking the second team offense 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.959 essentially down the field for six So Tua, Jordan Brooks, 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.880 Elijah Campbell. Where my hits my top guys on either 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.360 side of the ball in training camp in twenty twenty four. 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.800 First break right there, come back on the other side. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.840 Break down this game tomorrow night, the last one of 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.080 the exhibition season. That's next Draft Time podcast, your host 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:26.840 Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. One more 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.320 preseason game and then the Jaguars come to town on 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.520 September the eighth to face the Dolphins at hard Rock Stadium. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.480 I think we're gonna get two wins in four days. 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.880 I can't wait for that. But in the meantime, let's 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.000 go this one. It's tough. But the one thing I 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.920 miss about the four game preseason is the old rhythm 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.760 of it, Like you knew for the most part what 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.080 you were gonna get in terms of playing time, It's impossible. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.640 Now every team has a different approach. We've developed a 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.240 little bit of a rhythm the last two years here 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.840 with how we do it, but I think more continuity 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.080 could change that. I don't think we'll see a lot 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.600 of guys in the game tomorrow. In fact, McDaniel mentioned 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.720 you'll see some starters. To me, that's like Rob Jones 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.200 and Leah Mikenberg maybe, Or do you not want to 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:06.840 put those guys out there because you don't have depth 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.240 behind them. Is it more of like a Julian Hill? 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:15.320 Is it more of like a Jordan Poyer who hasn't 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.320 played much in camp? Like I don't know, I don't 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.400 cater coo who, Like I don't know who it's gonna be. 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:20.640 But I don't think it'll be a lot of guys. 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.040 We'll find out come game time. But like, for instance, 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.520 look at Buffalo, they ran their stars out there in 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.120 week one and then don't do it in week two. 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.160 What I'm saying is I just have no idea who 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.640 the hell we're going to get. Even with coach McDaniel's words, 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.920 I guess I'm operating under the assumption we don't see 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.200 guys like Mike Evans or Vida Veya, but who the 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.680 hell knows disclaimer over bucks offense. You know about Baker, 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.400 Kyle Trask, and John Wolford. Well, John Wolford's hurt, so 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.080 Kyle Trask gonna go the distance. This is typically where 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.359 I look at safeties, but when you're in the preseason 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.680 defense mode, it's a little bit different because it's vanilla. 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.760 You know, more disclaimers. But I do want to go 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.200 through this expeditiously, so I guess I want to see 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.240 if we get Jordan Poyer, how he reached things out, 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.560 how his running mate plays it, be a lot Campbell 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:02.760 or Javon Holland. Those are the guys that are on 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.480 the roster right then the younger guys Patrick McMorris, who 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:06.640 I don't think is going to play in the game 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:10.520 because he exited practice and I don't think it was great. 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.240 They have a pretty good run game and pocket quarterbacks, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.080 so I'm excited to see how he plays the combination 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.600 of both of those, or any of the safeties really 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.800 for that matter. You know, keep fitting the run, keep 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.000 playing sound coverage, go make the football team right. For 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.880 a guy like mc morris, if he gets in the game. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.280 Running backs for Shad White, Bucky Irvin, Chase Edmonds, and 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.440 I put tight ends in here too because linebackers and 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.600 coverage kind of track here. But Katet and koe Keief. 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.200 I think you could include Chang Tyndall with the quarterbacks 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:36.840 as well, because I think he's gonna rush a lot. 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.120 Let's go with these running backs, and Edmonds, as we 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.240 know as a receiving threat, didn't really work out here 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.320 as a receiver, but he does have that in his bag. 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:45.880 Irving has a lot of pop, and White is kind 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.320 of a one cut slasher. I think all three offer 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.480 unique challenges for one another here at this group. And 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.600 let's include a guy like Curtis Bolton, who I think 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.240 has played really well since arriving mid camp, and those 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.040 guys have a chance to go make a final statement 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.920 here against a very good mix of Bucks running backs. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.720 Those tight ends are also a good test for block 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.480 deconstruction for a guy like Quintin Bell, for instance, for 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.320 a guy like Mohammed Kamara and Chop Robinson to try 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.760 to get some added work in their game before the 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.639 real Bowl. It starts to fly receivers. Jalen McMillan is 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.439 trolling Shepherd, the one guys I wrote down because I 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.280 don't think Evans or God wouldn't go. But if they do, 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.639 obviously a great test for anybody. I just don't expect 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.800 to see it. McMillan is a nice route runner if 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.320 that provides some really good one on one opportunities, which 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.480 is what camp in preseason is really all about. Right 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.200 for us in the younger guys in particular, I'm looking 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.080 at Duck and Matrie and Johnson here, and then whoever 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:35.159 draws Shepherd. That's a great slot matchup for anybody, not 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:36.560 just for the guys trying to make the final case, 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.600 but guy like Cater Kohu, any of the safeties who 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.200 come down play on the slot, but yeah, like Cater Shepherd, 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.800 that's kind of a marquee matchup for me, provided both 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.320 those guys go in this exhibition game. On the interior 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.880 offensive line, Graham Barton, Cody Mack Ben brettisim. I think 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:54.000 I called Graham Barton Cody Barton yesterday, whoops one of 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.600 the larger, most physical offensive lines, especially on the interior 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:59.560 in the NFL. I'm curious to see how some of 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.320 our more slashing players attack them like a Neville Gallimore. 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.080 Can he keep it rolling with his good pass rush? 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.640 Isaiah Max had a decent little camp. Can he keep 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.640 things going? And maybe you know, carve out a spot 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.879 on the practice squad and then when it's good on 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.159 good with power on power, Jonathan Harris, can you just 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.119 go beat someone that plays a power like you do? 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.480 I want to see that in this game at tackle 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.560 Luke Goodeki and Justin Skuel. I like the bucks starters, 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.399 but it gets pretty thin after that at some spots, 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.040 and this is one of those spots. To be Frank, 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.639 I have no idea what to expect from Goodecci or 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.719 after a Goodeki, I should say in Tristan Wurfs, does 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.359 WARF's play Probably not? So maybe this is a good 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.080 opportunity for Quentin Bell to kind of punctuate his big camp. 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.280 And how about guys, you know that the Rooks keep 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.600 giving giving fits to you know, Chop and Mow. Either 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.439
