Speaker 1: Two on the move, going deep Speedways past from the
Speaker 1: Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Help Training Complex. This
Speaker 1: is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's goy my advands in
Speaker 1: the playoffs? What is up Dolphins? And welcome to the
Speaker 1: Drive Time Podcast. I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And
Speaker 1: on today's show, training Camp is a rap. That's five
Speaker 1: for me with the team six in total in the books,
Speaker 1: and I'll come away from this one with five over
Speaker 1: arching themes to take away from training Camp, my standout
Speaker 1: players and award an orange jersey to one player on
Speaker 1: all three phases of the game offense, defense, and special teams.
Speaker 1: Plus our last preseason game preview takes a look at
Speaker 1: some of the matchups that could inform us tomorrow night
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. From Tampa Bay, This is the Drivetime Podcast.
Speaker 1: Ye Caffie, So, I had this realization last time I
Speaker 1: was by the bay eating some clay we just may
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, and not being a Florida man
Speaker 1: until twenty twenty and not really leaving South Florida until
Speaker 1: that twenty twenty two trip outside of one trip to
Speaker 1: Fort Myers where I learned that they are not fans
Speaker 1: of people from South Florida. And I learned that by
Speaker 1: wearing a Dolphins hat in new publics and being told
Speaker 1: to go back to Miami, which was an interesting welcome
Speaker 1: to southwest Florida. But did you non Florida folks know
Speaker 1: that Tampa is the name of one city in the
Speaker 1: region of Tampa Bay. Who the hell knew that? I
Speaker 1: didn't until a couple of years ago, and it threw
Speaker 1: me off again this time. I always thought Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: and Saint Pete were kind of like Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
Speaker 1: But you've got clear Water in there as well, so
Speaker 1: it's like the Tri Cities, which is a town that
Speaker 1: I grew up in Washington, the Tri Cities. Have I
Speaker 1: lost you guys yet this and I'm sticking to this
Speaker 1: all camp long. I have not been able to keep
Speaker 1: the podcast short unless we have a walkthrough day, I'm
Speaker 1: going over thirty sometimes a lot more than that. But
Speaker 1: this show is going to be shorter than that. I
Speaker 1: promise you guys that we're going to do five quick,
Speaker 1: overarching big picture takeaways from training camp so far. We'll
Speaker 1: do the offense and defensive previews for the game and
Speaker 1: segment two, and I'll give you my players of practice
Speaker 1: of camp I should say on offense, defense, and special teams.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry if some of these are tad redundant
Speaker 1: to what you've heard on this podcast or even the
Speaker 1: last one of these we did back when we had
Speaker 1: the day off between the last practice the practice week
Speaker 1: of Game one with the Falcons. But to me, there's
Speaker 1: value and repetition here for the simple fact that you're
Speaker 1: getting further confirmation. If I said that two weeks ago
Speaker 1: and I say it here, that means the last two
Speaker 1: weeks have only solidified that point for me. So here
Speaker 1: we go. Number one, we have footage of it now.
Speaker 1: Previously it was only me relaying what my eyes had
Speaker 1: seen in practice. But I think Tua is a better
Speaker 1: quarterback than he was last year in just about every
Speaker 1: single way. I think the ball jumps off his hand
Speaker 1: with more gumption. I think he's moving within and outside
Speaker 1: of the pocket better important to differentiate those two. But
Speaker 1: the feet are just overall quicker, They're choppier. There's a
Speaker 1: better understanding of the relationship of all the parts that
Speaker 1: operate in tandem from a mechanic standpoint, which go figure.
Speaker 1: You get a quarterback coach, and you kind of work
Speaker 1: those things out in terms of the physical aspects of
Speaker 1: a quarterbacks coach, whereas the quarterback coach you work for
Speaker 1: and the team is going to be more scheme and
Speaker 1: play but between the ears centric and focused than the
Speaker 1: mechanical aspect of things. Like the easy example is the
Speaker 1: way that he moves to his right. You guys saw
Speaker 1: in the game. It's just different. I know, I wrote
Speaker 1: down I think, but I know he's a more confident player.
Speaker 1: He's a more confident leader. I think the team follows
Speaker 1: him even more than they already did, and I think
Speaker 1: his headspace is as good as it could be. And overall,
Speaker 1: just how lucky he is as a man with a
Speaker 1: beautiful wife and beautiful kids, and the way his teammates
Speaker 1: believe in him, the affirmation from the players and the
Speaker 1: team or the players in the NFL, I should say
Speaker 1: to vote him umber thirty six overall in the NFL.
Speaker 1: And of course the obvious one, Hey, being a two
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar player should give you some confidence. I
Speaker 1: think this beautiful collection of things you heard him say
Speaker 1: it took two years to undo some of the negativity
Speaker 1: that he felt previously. It reminds me of Miked Up
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two when he had been pulled one
Speaker 1: of the many times that he was yanked from blowout victories,
Speaker 1: where coach McDaniel was telling him how high level he
Speaker 1: was playing, and you could almost sense a resistance to
Speaker 1: that intua his voice, to accepting that high praise. But
Speaker 1: then you see him talk now and it's total command
Speaker 1: of every room that he's in. It's tangible, and man
Speaker 1: with the quarterback position gets better. There's no better path
Speaker 1: for improvement for an offense, especially when that quarterback has
Speaker 1: already been pacing the NFL in stats the last two years.
Speaker 1: My second big picture takeaway is the added weapons on
Speaker 1: offense will make defense need answers beyond ten, seventeen, thirty
Speaker 1: one and for that matter, twenty eight as well. Like
Speaker 1: you already have four stars and you've got more now
Speaker 1: you can break the offense down from last year. I
Speaker 1: think this will always you know, bar repeating the number
Speaker 1: one offense in football into four parts, and you can
Speaker 1: do that in two separate parts. So first ten and
Speaker 1: seventeen they are the guys, right, And it was a
Speaker 1: down year for Wallawst. Injuries still surpassed one thousand yards,
Speaker 1: but twenty eight hundred and thirteen yards and seventeen tds
Speaker 1: for those two players last year, the rest of the
Speaker 1: Dolphins receiving corps or the rest of their offense, I
Speaker 1: should say, eighteen hundred and eighty five yards with thirteen touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and if you include thirty one and twenty eight, they
Speaker 1: gave us three hundred and seventy two yards in the
Speaker 1: air and six touchdowns, so the touchdown split was twenty
Speaker 1: three to seven. And in the run game, Raheem and
Speaker 1: Devon combined for eighteen hundred and twelve yards and twenty
Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns. Those numbers are great, but one area
Speaker 1: you can explore adding more, and that's what they did.
Speaker 1: And you know what with John new Smith, with OBJ,
Speaker 1: with Jalen Wright, with Malik Washington, we know what these
Speaker 1: guys offer. But as we've covered at length in the podcast,
Speaker 1: and as we've heard from Coach from TUA, from Austin Jackson,
Speaker 1: from alec Ingole, from Frank Smith, really all the guys,
Speaker 1: we know they have schematics to maximize that aspect as well.
Speaker 1: It was my hypothesis going into camp, and the hypothesis
Speaker 1: to this point, to me, has held Drue more options
Speaker 1: in the short intermediate game, more vertical field stretchers from
Speaker 1: multiple positions outside of Reek and Waddle another very talented
Speaker 1: back that I think affords Devon the opportunity to be
Speaker 1: more versatile. It's all there, and I'm very, very excited
Speaker 1: about that. The third overarching theme is that they fit
Speaker 1: their pieces on defense to match what the defensive coordinator wants.
Speaker 1: First things first, here, adding players is not as easy
Speaker 1: as you think it might be, or as Madden might
Speaker 1: have taught us as kids who remembers negotiating free agent contracts,
Speaker 1: and when you submit the contract and Madden, the prompt
Speaker 1: just comes back, Reggie Wayne has rejected your offer. Then
Speaker 1: all you do is bump the salary up, maybe you
Speaker 1: add another year, and what ah, Reggie Wayne is now yours.
Speaker 1: He was always my freeging target those early Madden years.
Speaker 1: I wanted to pair him with Chris Chambers and Ricky Williams.
Speaker 1: That was my dream offense back then. But that's not
Speaker 1: how it works. Obviously, you need mutual interest to make
Speaker 1: things happen. Did you guys watch the Giants hard knocks?
Speaker 1: You don't get everyone that you want to get there's
Speaker 1: a reason they run through scenario's ABCD all the way
Speaker 1: down to scenario T or whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 1: My point is that the Dolphins are a destination. Part
Speaker 1: of that is Miami. Part of that is the tax
Speaker 1: free nature of our estate income tax here. Part of
Speaker 1: that is playing with this head coach. Part of that
Speaker 1: is the belief in this team's potential. Kalaias Campbell said
Speaker 1: that he took a lot less to be with Miami
Speaker 1: and his contract is very cheap. Jordan Poyer has said that,
Speaker 1: OBJ has said that it's been a theme down here.
Speaker 1: So for them to create that, you know what it
Speaker 1: allows you to do. It allows you to not adjust
Speaker 1: your scheme to the player. It allows you to find
Speaker 1: the player that bets best fits your ideal scheme and
Speaker 1: real quick back to those guys that I mentioned there,
Speaker 1: I see this theme that develops when guys have like
Speaker 1: a down year or maybe even a couple of down years,
Speaker 1: like John new Smith, for instance, in New England, goes
Speaker 1: to Atlanta last year, has a good year, and there's
Speaker 1: a sentiment that, like, ah, he's a mid player, he
Speaker 1: can play anymore, like good players are always good players.
Speaker 1: It's about how they get maximized and utilized. And all
Speaker 1: the guys I just mentioned are really good football players,
Speaker 1: and when they come into a program that's already established
Speaker 1: and good and has stars around them, they're going to provide.
Speaker 1: They're going to give you production. They're going to be
Speaker 1: good players. So just put that little feather in your
Speaker 1: cap and think about that as we go forward. Because
Speaker 1: I saw I heard some stuff about Johnny Smith on
Speaker 1: the Heat the Call podcast, which I love. By the way,
Speaker 1: they're back and they're better than ever, but they were
Speaker 1: calling Joony Smith a mid tight and I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: you don't even you don't know, You just don't know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. So for those guys to create
Speaker 1: that and allows you to get the players that fits
Speaker 1: your scheme ideally, Jordan Poyer's presence, interchangeability and like minded
Speaker 1: wavelength as Javon Holland from a mental standpoint, not to
Speaker 1: mention Marcus May, I think both Poe and May really
Speaker 1: unlocked Javon to be more flexible, just like how Kendall
Speaker 1: Fuller's ability to play inside Unlockshalen Ramsey to do more
Speaker 1: as well. And the secondary as a whole, they can
Speaker 1: go corner heavy and sub. It can go safety heavy
Speaker 1: and sub. And this is all by design and though
Speaker 1: we haven't seen it to full effect in a game,
Speaker 1: you see it in practice. I mentioned Kaleius Campbell, the
Speaker 1: way that he and seeler massive long, powerful, smart defensive tackles.
Speaker 1: What pairs well behind that? Well, what are the nineties
Speaker 1: and early two thousands Dolphins have but Timbow and Zach
Speaker 1: It's the same thinking, instinctive, fast key reading, explosive smart
Speaker 1: backers behind physically imposing tackles that can eat up blocks
Speaker 1: in spades, and the rotation guys off of that all
Speaker 1: feature something a little bit different. You pair that with
Speaker 1: edges who have insane zero to sixty f one Grand
Speaker 1: Prix getoffs, and how that pairs with your size on
Speaker 1: the interior and backers that can rush. To me, it
Speaker 1: was a clear plan. I think they executed that plan
Speaker 1: in the offseason, and I think we've seen it bear
Speaker 1: fruit so far here through the month of August. Let's
Speaker 1: go a little bit faster here takeaway number four, as
Speaker 1: I am really excited to see what coach Crossman's does,
Speaker 1: especially with this new dynamic kickoff. I think we have
Speaker 1: the return options to really exploit any of the early
Speaker 1: mistakes you might see in the beginning parts of the
Speaker 1: season with this new concept. I also think we're just
Speaker 1: better equipped this year. You know, God for babe. We
Speaker 1: have a decent season with injury luck right, but Saran,
Speaker 1: Elijah Alec, Duke Durham to name a few, that's a
Speaker 1: really nice special team's cores and the battery is all
Speaker 1: the same, which you hope breeds even better results through continuity.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about the Special Teams unit for the first
Speaker 1: time in a while. And finally, big picture item number five,
Speaker 1: the rookie class looks really nice and would go a
Speaker 1: long way towards really extending this window or team cycle
Speaker 1: down the road. You have to win as a GM
Speaker 1: in the margins if you are to sustain success and
Speaker 1: keeps things rolling for years and years. Is as the
Speaker 1: victorious status quo as it were, and we've seen the
Speaker 1: stars get paid. I'm sure there are more to come
Speaker 1: with guys like JP and Javon Holland entering year four,
Speaker 1: and then with twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: and limited picks and unknown nature of those classes as
Speaker 1: a whole, the returns you've gotten so far on this
Speaker 1: class are exactly what you'd hoped for. They've done that
Speaker 1: while also stocking the cupboard of picks next year nicely
Speaker 1: as well. So that's a good way to find rookie
Speaker 1: contract production to balance all the star talent you've acquired
Speaker 1: and compensated. And I want to go ahead and add
Speaker 1: a sixth the big picture item, a bonus item for
Speaker 1: you guys here, because I'm all positive to the first
Speaker 1: five and I do believe this team is gonna win
Speaker 1: a lot of football games this year, twelve maybe even
Speaker 1: thirteen games, and some playoff games as well. But how
Speaker 1: about the concerns? I have a few of them. Short
Speaker 1: yarde offense, How short yardage offense? How will this team
Speaker 1: perform when they have to move the chains on third
Speaker 1: and two or less? Injuries It's been a problem in
Speaker 1: the last two years, and there have been a bunch
Speaker 1: of them so far in camp so far, nothing major,
Speaker 1: but hopefully that continues with a better injury luck just
Speaker 1: general roll out this entire season. And then the depth
Speaker 1: of the run defense, I mean, the short yarge offense
Speaker 1: goes back to an offensive line I don't think has
Speaker 1: a lot of depth on it. But that's literally it.
Speaker 1: From a depth perspective. You know, every team has these
Speaker 1: trap doors, and for me, you know, we have a couple.
Speaker 1: I look at the defensive back depth. We have too
Speaker 1: many guys to keep. We have too many tight ends
Speaker 1: to keep. We have too many running backs to keep.
Speaker 1: When the receivers get back, we have too many of
Speaker 1: those guys to keep as well. We have too many
Speaker 1: linebackers to keep, too many edge guys to keep. Like,
Speaker 1: every group is loaded. But if you lose ninety two
Speaker 1: or even you know Campbell's that's tough. If we lose
Speaker 1: twenty or eleven at linebacker, I think that makes it
Speaker 1: a little bit tougher to give you that same run
Speaker 1: game production. I just think the alternatives we've seen in
Speaker 1: those spots give me a little bit of pause. So
Speaker 1: that's my one collection of concerns here as we move forward.
Speaker 1: I don't think that the cold weather, all that stuff,
Speaker 1: I think is overblown, So I'm not going to include
Speaker 1: that here. My training camp Orange jerseys are as follows
Speaker 1: for eighteen practices that we saw as media members and
Speaker 1: fans alike. For special teams, it was Elijah Campbell. I
Speaker 1: thought he was so impressive with everything he did, and
Speaker 1: his defensive performance was really really strong as well. But
Speaker 1: how he just blew up anyone trying to jam him
Speaker 1: as a gunner, the way he got down there on
Speaker 1: game tapes or in the games, and how I saw
Speaker 1: it on tape, with how proficient he was, and how
Speaker 1: he maximized the you know, the punts of Jake Bailey
Speaker 1: to get the most out of those with minimal returns.
Speaker 1: Elijah Campbell was the best player on special teams for me,
Speaker 1: all camplong. He gets the orange jersey for special teams.
Speaker 1: On defense, I'm going with Jordan Brooks. He missed a
Speaker 1: little bit of time in the middle of the camp,
Speaker 1: but I think that his tone, setting, his leadership, his flexibility,
Speaker 1: I think that he has a very good chance to
Speaker 1: have a ro Kwan Smith type of year in this
Speaker 1: Anthony Weaver defense. Is he has to have a player
Speaker 1: as ro Qwan Smith. I don't think so. But I
Speaker 1: think that he's very, very good. He's pro Bowl good
Speaker 1: and he is a perfect fit for this defense. He's
Speaker 1: a perfect fit for David Long. He's a perfect fit
Speaker 1: behind Campbell and Steeler. He is my defensive orange jersey
Speaker 1: and on offense, who is it going to be to
Speaker 1: a tongue Bai Lowe. I mean, he just was so
Speaker 1: so good all camp long. The explosive plays, the checkdowns,
Speaker 1: took care of the football, scrambled, made some plays, completed
Speaker 1: five passes on all five of us attempts in the
Speaker 1: preseason game for a touchdown, taking the second team offense
Speaker 1: essentially down the field for six So Tua, Jordan Brooks,
Speaker 1: Elijah Campbell. Where my hits my top guys on either
Speaker 1: side of the ball in training camp in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: First break right there, come back on the other side.
Speaker 1: Break down this game tomorrow night, the last one of
Speaker 1: the exhibition season. That's next Draft Time podcast, your host
Speaker 1: Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. One more
Speaker 1: preseason game and then the Jaguars come to town on
Speaker 1: September the eighth to face the Dolphins at hard Rock Stadium.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get two wins in four days.
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that. But in the meantime, let's
Speaker 1: go this one. It's tough. But the one thing I
Speaker 1: miss about the four game preseason is the old rhythm
Speaker 1: of it, Like you knew for the most part what
Speaker 1: you were gonna get in terms of playing time, It's impossible.
Speaker 1: Now every team has a different approach. We've developed a
Speaker 1: little bit of a rhythm the last two years here
Speaker 1: with how we do it, but I think more continuity
Speaker 1: could change that. I don't think we'll see a lot
Speaker 1: of guys in the game tomorrow. In fact, McDaniel mentioned
Speaker 1: you'll see some starters. To me, that's like Rob Jones
Speaker 1: and Leah Mikenberg maybe, Or do you not want to
Speaker 1: put those guys out there because you don't have depth
Speaker 1: behind them. Is it more of like a Julian Hill?
Speaker 1: Is it more of like a Jordan Poyer who hasn't
Speaker 1: played much in camp? Like I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: cater coo who, Like I don't know who it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: But I don't think it'll be a lot of guys.
Speaker 1: We'll find out come game time. But like, for instance,
Speaker 1: look at Buffalo, they ran their stars out there in
Speaker 1: week one and then don't do it in week two.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is I just have no idea who
Speaker 1: the hell we're going to get. Even with coach McDaniel's words,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm operating under the assumption we don't see
Speaker 1: guys like Mike Evans or Vida Veya, but who the
Speaker 1: hell knows disclaimer over bucks offense. You know about Baker,
Speaker 1: Kyle Trask, and John Wolford. Well, John Wolford's hurt, so
Speaker 1: Kyle Trask gonna go the distance. This is typically where
Speaker 1: I look at safeties, but when you're in the preseason
Speaker 1: defense mode, it's a little bit different because it's vanilla.
Speaker 1: You know, more disclaimers. But I do want to go
Speaker 1: through this expeditiously, so I guess I want to see
Speaker 1: if we get Jordan Poyer, how he reached things out,
Speaker 1: how his running mate plays it, be a lot Campbell
Speaker 1: or Javon Holland. Those are the guys that are on
Speaker 1: the roster right then the younger guys Patrick McMorris, who
Speaker 1: I don't think is going to play in the game
Speaker 1: because he exited practice and I don't think it was great.
Speaker 1: They have a pretty good run game and pocket quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to see how he plays the combination
Speaker 1: of both of those, or any of the safeties really
Speaker 1: for that matter. You know, keep fitting the run, keep
Speaker 1: playing sound coverage, go make the football team right. For
Speaker 1: a guy like mc morris, if he gets in the game.
Speaker 1: Running backs for Shad White, Bucky Irvin, Chase Edmonds, and
Speaker 1: I put tight ends in here too because linebackers and
Speaker 1: coverage kind of track here. But Katet and koe Keief.
Speaker 1: I think you could include Chang Tyndall with the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: as well, because I think he's gonna rush a lot.
Speaker 1: Let's go with these running backs, and Edmonds, as we
Speaker 1: know as a receiving threat, didn't really work out here
Speaker 1: as a receiver, but he does have that in his bag.
Speaker 1: Irving has a lot of pop, and White is kind
Speaker 1: of a one cut slasher. I think all three offer
Speaker 1: unique challenges for one another here at this group. And
Speaker 1: let's include a guy like Curtis Bolton, who I think
Speaker 1: has played really well since arriving mid camp, and those
Speaker 1: guys have a chance to go make a final statement
Speaker 1: here against a very good mix of Bucks running backs.
Speaker 1: Those tight ends are also a good test for block
Speaker 1: deconstruction for a guy like Quintin Bell, for instance, for
Speaker 1: a guy like Mohammed Kamara and Chop Robinson to try
Speaker 1: to get some added work in their game before the
Speaker 1: real Bowl. It starts to fly receivers. Jalen McMillan is
Speaker 1: trolling Shepherd, the one guys I wrote down because I
Speaker 1: don't think Evans or God wouldn't go. But if they do,
Speaker 1: obviously a great test for anybody. I just don't expect
Speaker 1: to see it. McMillan is a nice route runner if
Speaker 1: that provides some really good one on one opportunities, which
Speaker 1: is what camp in preseason is really all about. Right
Speaker 1: for us in the younger guys in particular, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at Duck and Matrie and Johnson here, and then whoever
Speaker 1: draws Shepherd. That's a great slot matchup for anybody, not
Speaker 1: just for the guys trying to make the final case,
Speaker 1: but guy like Cater Kohu, any of the safeties who
Speaker 1: come down play on the slot, but yeah, like Cater Shepherd,
Speaker 1: that's kind of a marquee matchup for me, provided both
Speaker 1: those guys go in this exhibition game. On the interior
Speaker 1: offensive line, Graham Barton, Cody Mack Ben brettisim. I think
Speaker 1: I called Graham Barton Cody Barton yesterday, whoops one of
Speaker 1: the larger, most physical offensive lines, especially on the interior
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I'm curious to see how some of
Speaker 1: our more slashing players attack them like a Neville Gallimore.
Speaker 1: Can he keep it rolling with his good pass rush?
Speaker 1: Isaiah Max had a decent little camp. Can he keep
Speaker 1: things going? And maybe you know, carve out a spot
Speaker 1: on the practice squad and then when it's good on
Speaker 1: good with power on power, Jonathan Harris, can you just
Speaker 1: go beat someone that plays a power like you do?
Speaker 1: I want to see that in this game at tackle
Speaker 1: Luke Goodeki and Justin Skuel. I like the bucks starters,
Speaker 1: but it gets pretty thin after that at some spots,
Speaker 1: and this is one of those spots. To be Frank,
Speaker 1: I have no idea what to expect from Goodecci or
Speaker 1: after a Goodeki, I should say in Tristan Wurfs, does
Speaker 1: WARF's play Probably not? So maybe this is a good
Speaker 1: opportunity for Quentin Bell to kind of punctuate his big camp.
Speaker 1: And how about guys, you know that the Rooks keep
Speaker 1: giving giving fits to you know, Chop and Mow. Either
Speaker 1: of those guys can they can they get wins on
Speaker 1: these veteran tackles That will get me very very fired
Speaker 1: up if they do. Or how about you know, all
Speaker 1: of them, both of them both beat those tackles double
Speaker 1: fired up. All right, this podcast is already off the rails.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and take our last break. Gonna be short.
Speaker 1: I told you we'll do the Dolphins offense next to
Speaker 1: the other side. Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,
Speaker 1: brought to you by Autoonation Bucks Defense, features some fun
Speaker 1: matchup pieces along the defensive line. I hope that Vida
Speaker 1: Veya plays. I doubt he will. Why would he? He's
Speaker 1: an all pro great. Gains and Elijah Canty, though, offer
Speaker 1: something unique as well. You know, if Veya go is
Speaker 1: just getting a win on him from anybody is a
Speaker 1: win because he doesn't get moved. He's like one of
Speaker 1: the best literally of all time with the nose tackle position.
Speaker 1: He's just absolutely unreal with good balance of flexibility, he
Speaker 1: is so so good. I like the balance though that
Speaker 1: Gains and Cancy feature because they really offer something unique
Speaker 1: from one another. Gaines is probably the player in the
Speaker 1: league who provides the best balance of low pad level
Speaker 1: and sheer mass. A total wrecking ball. He came in
Speaker 1: like a wrecking ball. Miley Cyrus another UDUB product that
Speaker 1: just Rex shop down in the muck and Meyer can
Speaker 1: we get displacement on him? Can we move him? Can
Speaker 1: Liam Mikenberg get off the snap and move him in
Speaker 1: a game I would love to see that. Can Rob
Speaker 1: Jones cross face and get him off of his spot?
Speaker 1: That would likely be a first unit. So from last game,
Speaker 1: you know Rob, Liam, Lester, cotton Jack Triscoll. Maybe I
Speaker 1: do want Driscoll pretty fire about his game. I think
Speaker 1: that he's been the best of really all those guys.
Speaker 1: And to that point, Kansei is a freaky, freaky athlete, man,
Speaker 1: So can we hit our angles and ride him out
Speaker 1: of the gap because he wants to get up field
Speaker 1: and kind of one gap penetrate? And how does Andrew
Speaker 1: Meyer continue his progress against a good deep unit here
Speaker 1: on the Bucks defensive line at the edge. William Golston
Speaker 1: has been in the league for a million years, so
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll play, but you never know. Logan Hall,
Speaker 1: Chris Braswell enjoy try on Shayanka Butcher that he's a
Speaker 1: U dubbed guy. I know that name. These guys add
Speaker 1: names on late and I don't know how to pronounce
Speaker 1: him on the outside. I'm looking at Patrick Paul. If
Speaker 1: he gets a guy like William Goldstin, what a great
Speaker 1: test that would be Again I doubt he plays, but
Speaker 1: I want to see Patrick Paul go up against a
Speaker 1: real technician that can kind of flash a game plan
Speaker 1: at him throughout the course of the night. I think
Speaker 1: that would probably look bad in terms of the results,
Speaker 1: but I want to see it on tape so Paul
Speaker 1: can have something to work on and what figures to
Speaker 1: be probably his last reps in a while. Right, he's
Speaker 1: gonna probably get some red shirt time on the bench.
Speaker 1: Tryon Shoyenka Godly is another athletic Marvel can Ryan Hayes
Speaker 1: get some wins there if he sees him. Actually probably
Speaker 1: Austin Jackson, because if we get starters, it would be
Speaker 1: probably more of those two guys going against each other.
Speaker 1: At linebacker. There's no way Levante David plays right, kJ
Speaker 1: Britt and then the safeties Antoine Winfield and Jordan Whitehead.
Speaker 1: David is the ultimate test, but in a Vanilla preseason
Speaker 1: game plan, I don't see what he has to gain,
Speaker 1: so you know, who knows what we get from him.
Speaker 1: But with kJ Britt and then two safeties, how our
Speaker 1: backs measure up in both pass pro and as pass catchers.
Speaker 1: I definitely want to see that Britton Whitehead make for
Speaker 1: a fun physical matchup, and it could be fun to
Speaker 1: see Jalen Wright get some action there as well if
Speaker 1: he's good to go. And then Antoine Winfield, who I
Speaker 1: think is the best safety in the game. His kids
Speaker 1: were playing on the practice field after practice on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and it was kind of cute because one of them
Speaker 1: ran in a touchdown and then got pummeled by the
Speaker 1: other one and fumbled the ball, and the younger one
Speaker 1: who scored the touchdown was like touchdown, Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: His brothers like, no, you fumbled, dude. They're probably gonna
Speaker 1: be players in the NFL in twenty years because the
Speaker 1: Winfield bloodline is strong there. But he's a great test
Speaker 1: for any quarterback. So if he goes out there, how
Speaker 1: the first quarterback Skyler or Mike plays is you know
Speaker 1: to look at the guy pre snack. You got to
Speaker 1: try to move him. He's basically as beneficial as seeing
Speaker 1: Jalen Petrie last year in Houston. Just a guy you
Speaker 1: have to make a plan for every single snap at cornerback.
Speaker 1: Jamiale Dean Bryce Hall's I on McCollum, I mean, again,
Speaker 1: do we see these guys? I saw a Bryce Hall
Speaker 1: get beat a couple times a day by Eric Azukama
Speaker 1: or Wednesday, I should say McCollum was a studd in practice,
Speaker 1: but like the interior defensive line, this is a spectacular
Speaker 1: mix of skills. Dean is pressed length in your face.
Speaker 1: So how does some Lake Washington get off that? Or
Speaker 1: brether Than Sanders for that matter. And how about the
Speaker 1: speed of Zion McCollum, Like, can someone run past him?
Speaker 1: Maybe Eric Azukama if he plays and you know, make
Speaker 1: another play in the vertical passing game. Bryce Hall a
Speaker 1: solid technician who can be physical too, So a good
Speaker 1: test across the board for those guys. Ultimately, I just
Speaker 1: can't wait to prove the next game, but we have
Speaker 1: some time here before that happens. Just want to go
Speaker 1: ahead and go down the list here of Dolphins players
Speaker 1: I thought were really shy because like maybe the Orange jerseys.
Speaker 1: But let's go ahead and talk about the guys that
Speaker 1: was most impressed with all Camplong Zach Seeler. You can
Speaker 1: set your watch to him. He is so reliable and dependable.
Speaker 1: I thought Kalays Campbell limited action showed you exactly what
Speaker 1: you're gonna get from him. I'm very surprised by Jaylen
Speaker 1: Phillips quick assent. I think he's going to be playing
Speaker 1: before before we notice or before we know. I should
Speaker 1: say the two linebackers, Brooks and Long were awesome. I
Speaker 1: thought Ogba had a pretty strong camp, Ramsey and Floyd
Speaker 1: didn't you know? Fuller had a good camp at Ramsey
Speaker 1: didn't play enough to really put him in this category.
Speaker 1: I thought that see cater Coo, who had had probably
Speaker 1: his best camp so far of the three years combined
Speaker 1: that he put together. Brandon Peeley really showed me some
Speaker 1: pop in this training camp. Let's see Chop and Mohammed
Speaker 1: Kamara were both fantastic. Ethan Bonner was really really good
Speaker 1: all trading camp long. I was so impressed by Marcus May.
Speaker 1: I think that his veteran presence in the back end
Speaker 1: and the sub packages you can get to with him
Speaker 1: were very impressive. Neville Gallimore was a really good pass
Speaker 1: rusher all camp Long and Leonard Payne kind of had
Speaker 1: some pops in that regard as well, and then Patrick McMorris.
Speaker 1: Those three undrafted rookie cornerbacks. Very impressed by Johnson Matrie
Speaker 1: and Storm Duck. I think one of those guys makes
Speaker 1: the team. I think Storm Duck makes the team. I
Speaker 1: think the other two come back on the practice squad offensively. Tyreek.
Speaker 1: So Tyreek got on me today. I'm recording on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: If you can't tell Tyreek got on me because he said,
Speaker 1: you know, tryvis. My dad always sends me to your
Speaker 1: practice tweets and I've never end them. And I said, Chitah,
Speaker 1: like I already told the people on the podcast, like,
Speaker 1: I don't got to talk about Cheetah because you already
Speaker 1: know what he's doing. If he's on the field, he's scoring.
Speaker 1: And then I went and showed him the tweet where
Speaker 1: I said to through an F and dime to Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: and he goes, that's what's up. That's what's up. He
Speaker 1: was very happy about that. So Tyreek Hill, here's your
Speaker 1: shout out, man, you're the best freaking player on the planet.
Speaker 1: There you go, man, like, that's that's that's truth, that's fact.
Speaker 1: There's no need to even go further than that. I
Speaker 1: thought Robert Jones had a good podcast. It's Late Man
Speaker 1: had a good training camp. When Aaron Brewer was out there,
Speaker 1: he was looking very sharp and very solid. I thought
Speaker 1: Jack Driscoll was fantastic. Very impressed by Andrew Meyer all
Speaker 1: camp along. I think that he has a future in
Speaker 1: this league. Devon ah Chan I mean in the passing game, Wow,
Speaker 1: he looks like an absolute star in the in the
Speaker 1: in the making. I can't wait to watch him this year.
Speaker 1: Tua was nails. Obviously. Jalen Waddle when he was playing,
Speaker 1: was very, very, very good. I thought Patrick Paul had
Speaker 1: a great camp and got a lot better throughout the
Speaker 1: course of training camp. I thought that Jalen Wright one
Speaker 1: of the true stars of camp and I can't wait
Speaker 1: to watch him play more as we go forward. Craig
Speaker 1: Craft and Aszukama both had good camps. Although craig Craft
Speaker 1: earlier was so reliable, as Zukama came on late. And
Speaker 1: then Julian Hill one of the best camps of anybody out.
Speaker 1: He was pretty close to my Orange Jersey. I thought
Speaker 1: he was one of the best players all camplong. I
Speaker 1: liked Chris Brooks and what he brought to the table.
Speaker 1: Those are some of the guys I thought had the
Speaker 1: best training camps for your Miami Dolphins. And that is
Speaker 1: the last time we're gonna talk about it. Game tomorrow
