WEBVTT - Drive Time: Post Draft Roster Reset Defense

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>To our remove goll on Deep Speedways Past Hells.

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:10.400
<v Speaker 2>From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:18.440
<v Speaker 2>This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's got my adds

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs. What is up, Dolph fans and welcome

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 2>to the Drive Time Podcast. I am your host, Travis Wingfield.

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 2>And on today's show, i'd say we're due for another

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 2>roster reset, part number two. Today the defense will take

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 2>a look at each position group, the newcomers, the losses,

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 2>the balance of the room, the questions, the potential camp battles.

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 2>All of that and more, including the acquisition of a

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 2>certain wide receiver we'll talk about Odell Beckham from the

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This

0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>is the Drive Time Podcast. Daffy Fus. You know, the

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 2>best part of the fact that you're listening to a

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>May sixth edition of the Draft Time Podcast is the

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>fact that the NFL, or rather your Miami Dolphins, have

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.839
<v Speaker 2>tent pole events essentially every week from now up until

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 2>like June eighth, we get schedule released coming up, we

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 2>get Rookie Mini Camp, and by the end of May

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>we have Miami Dolphins football practice to cover, which as

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 2>most of you know, is kind of my specialty here

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 2>on the Draft Time Podcast. I feel like there's so

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 2>much to look forward to look forward to. I remember

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>telling myself late last season, I cannot imagine getting up

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.399
<v Speaker 2>for camp practices this year after the way this season ended.

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>But as it usually goes, that flips and here we

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>are after you know, the blackest Monday in Dolphins history,

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>and the roster looking the way it does now. I

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>am probably as excited for this year as I've ever

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 2>been because doing this exercise, doing this project, going up

0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and down the roster, it's loaded. Man, it's as loaded,

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 2>and just from a rookie mini caamp standpoint, I cannot

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>wait to watch the two rookie draft picks at that

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 2>mini camp. I remember last year how from the first

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 2>damn rep you could tell a cham was different, a

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 2>different gear. I recall seeing Cam Smith look at the

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>most fluid defender on the football field. Now that translates

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>to reps and playing time, it did not, But I

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.959
<v Speaker 2>think he can still play. So seeing the two Washington's

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Malik and Toadje run their routes next weekend or this weekend,

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I should say the nuance of their route running in person,

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 2>watching how Patrick Paul moves around the field and our

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>first look at his technique in person, how Chop Robinson

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>uses his burst plus his hands, the suddenness of Jalen Wright,

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 2>and the get off of Moe Kamara, watching Patrick McMorris

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>fly down the field on special teams, and then of

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>course just getting to know these UDFA is a little

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 2>bit better. I am fired up man. But first, before that,

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 2>let's conclude part two of the post draft roster reset

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>series and talk about this defense. But before that, even

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 2>before all that, I was done with the edge which

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 2>portion of this rundown when I saw the Odell Beckham

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>news pretty cool reporting out there via Barry Jackson of

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 2>the Miami Herald, who, for my money continues to be

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 2>the best man on the beat, that the Dolphins set

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 2>a price point and eventually agreed to go up in

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 2>their negotiations and incentives to compromise with what Odell Beckham

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 2>and his representation was looking for. Per Marcel Louis Jock

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 2>a one year, three million dollar deal for Odell Beckham.

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 2>The Bills are out there signing Chase Claypool and spending

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 2>the thirty third pick in the draft on a guy

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>that can't get open, and paying more than that for

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>that pick, for that matter, one year three million incentives

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>up to eight point twenty five million, So he could

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 2>definitely set it off and get those numbers. But I

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 2>hope he does that. And he also said he wanted

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 2>to play here for Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 2>and took less to do that. I mean, the trend

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>is impossible to ignore. I know this. You can make

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 2>everything about the quarterback where you can talk about how

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 2>this team is not a destination or it's not in

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 2>the right direction. You can talk about how much you

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 2>despise the moves and the GM. But the league will

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>tell you, man, the league will tell you, and they

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 2>have told you so far here with this year's Dolphins.

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>And now I get to share my film notes with

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>y'all on Odell Beckham, who when I watched him on

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 2>tape about a month and a half or two months ago,

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I saw a great balance. I saw a fantastic body

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 2>control and footwork at the top of the route with

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>a springy step out of that first break. He's a

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>willing blocker, no block, no rock in this offense right,

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 2>he had a key block on a long Z Flowers

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 2>touchdown catch and run. He has long or his long

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 2>speed has decreased a little bit since his prime, but

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 2>he does have that second gear to accelerate past a

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.359
<v Speaker 2>flat footed cornerback. And that's how Tua throws his anticipation

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 2>in deep shots anyways. He wants to see a cornerback

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 2>squatting and the receiver being three yards on the wrong

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>side of that cornerback. Let that thing fly with trajectory

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 2>and let the receiver go flag it down. It's how

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>we had all of our exposive plays last year. Essentially,

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>his release package wins, especially on the perimeter against press,

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>with the ability to stack from that position stand out

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>in a big, big way. He's just a great route

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 2>runner still at the stage of his career. I don't

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 2>love the body language all the time, and that's why

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 2>I think some of the production last year can be

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>attributed to the offense or the quarterback he played with

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Lamar Jackson, one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 2>But he's not a timing, rhythm passer who can find

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a great route runner in those slots like Matthew Stafford

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>did with Odell Beckham when he was at his peak,

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 2>or even Eli Manning with the Giants when he was

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>still kicking around and he still had his plus ability

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 2>as an anticipatory thrower with accuracy. Who's how the defense like,

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>that's the type of quarterback that Odell Beckham needs, and

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.599
<v Speaker 2>that's the kind of quarterback. Odell Beckham gots into a

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 2>tongue by low. But the body language did bother me

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 2>because you would see him get opened by a half step,

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>or the mailbox would go up right, the arm goes up, Hey,

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm open, and that slows a receiver down. He also

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.919
<v Speaker 2>would display frustration when he didn't get the rep on

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 2>like a takeoff where he felt like he was open.

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 2>So that's the part that kind of concerns me, is

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 2>how does he mesh to a locker room where he's

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>not the first option or the second option, or the

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>third option or maybe even the fourth option when you

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 2>take kick into account. The receiver's running backs and tight ends.

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 2>But again, the route running reminds me of Tyreek Hill

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.359
<v Speaker 2>in the sense that he doesn't shortcut the details and

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 2>he helps expand the defense the way the concepts are

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 2>designed to do that. Tyreek does that, Jalen does that,

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Malik does that, TODJ. Washington does that, and Odell Beckham

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 2>does that. He has the nuances in his game to

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>get to his route when it is explicitly taken away,

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>like you're gonna play outside leverage against an outroute, He's

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 2>still gonna find a way to get to that part

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 2>of the field. He also knows when to throttle tempo

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 2>in order to get the rest of the concept and

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 2>play out the way it's supposed to. Ie. Don't blow

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 2>past a two man bracket and let their attention get elsewhere.

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Absorb the attention, run your route to the fullest, and

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:33.840
<v Speaker 2>create the space the defense wants to give the rest

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.919
<v Speaker 2>of the football field. He's shifty with the ball in

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>his hands, catches a speed out on a a play

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 2>that I watch against a cover three off cornerback, and

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 2>then makes that cornerback miss and gets fifteen more yards.

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 2>That's what Malak Washington did at Virginia. That's what Tyreek

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Hill does, That's what Jaalen Wadell does, It's what Odell

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Beckham does. With him on the perimeter, teams are not

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna be able to get lax on those routes and

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 2>just clamp down ten seventeen when they go inside. He's

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>quick enough to win double moves and his release to

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.720
<v Speaker 2>get on top of that. I think the versatility it

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.719
<v Speaker 2>provides your offense because when you had you know, I

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 2>still think Malik Washington is a very good candidate to

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 2>be the number three receiver on this football team. But

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 2>when you want to go eleven personnel and you want

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 2>to put Reagan Waddle inside, you can't really do that

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 2>with Malik Washington because he's almost exclusively a slot receiver.

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Beckham gives you a guy that can play the perimeter

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 2>and get more reps inside for those guys. Man, I'm

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>fired up, guys. I always love a detour back to

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 2>the offense. Let's go ahead, though, and get back to

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 2>those podcast was supposed to go here on the defensive

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 2>side of the football, and I continue to be fascinated

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 2>by Anthony Weaver and what the staff might cook up

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 2>come game days in twenty twenty four. I think the

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 2>roster building gives you context clues based upon his history,

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 2>where he's been, who he's learned from, And I think

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe collectively we make a little bit of a mistake

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 2>by assuming it's just going to be a carbon copy

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 2>of what the Ravens did, because it's probably not going

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 2>to be that. But I think that can be a

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 2>little bit like short sighted in terms of he wasn't

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 2>the DC there. He was a defensive line coach, so

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 2>he has his own ideas and his own thoughts, and

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 2>he talked about his influen and says back at his

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 2>introduction press conference in the middle of February.

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I have a couple. The first one is Romeo Crenell. Right,

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>he is a guy that obviously was He was very

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>detailed in terms of techniques and fundamentals and what he

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>expected from the guys, but more importantly off the field,

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>like he was extremely calm in the chaos. Right, there's

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ups and downs throughout the NFL season.

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you have some guys that ride the roller coaster?

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that. I think when you do that,

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>your players are going to react the same way. So

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I tried very much to be the same guy every

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 1>single day, and I really don't have to try. It's

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>truly just who I am, right, and then just constantly

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 1>making sure we're trying to get one percent better, which

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.959
<v Speaker 1>requires one hundred percent effort every day. But I think

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>as long as you're on that constant chase to get better,

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:42.839
<v Speaker 1>eventually you'll get to where you.

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Want to go.

0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.839
<v Speaker 1>But my first is Romeo Crenell. The second one has

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to be John Harbaugh. Right in my short three years

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>with him, I just saw how he walked and operated

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and constantly kept the pulse of the team, and when

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>he got up and addressed the team, he always had

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>something particular in mine and was very direct right in

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>what he was trying to get done. And I have

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 1>so much respect for how he walks and operates. Was

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>much different than any coach I'd been around prior, and

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 1>really confirmed what I was doing to myself because I

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>was like, this is how I envisioned myself operating, and

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.839
<v Speaker 1>obviously it works and you can have success doing it.

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 2>And Romeo Crenell has several of his own influences, but

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I do know there's a common thread of multiple packages,

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 2>of plenty of sub packages that include five, six, seven,

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 2>even eight defensive backs on the field, simulated pressure looks

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 2>with multiple blitz candidates to confuse the quarterback and the

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 2>production protection not production mugging rushers up in the A gap,

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 2>which is basically bringing linebackers to stand up over the

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 2>center and guard to kind of simulate pressure in those gaps,

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 2>using big bodies for your end positions like heavy tackle ends.

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of principles and I think track with

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the moves you've seen in this offseason. So without further ado,

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>let's go ahead and get to the room that Weaver

0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 2>came from upfront, a defensive lineman himself, and a coach

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 2>in that position group in particular, the big boys on

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 2>the interior led by our star defensive tackle. That's what

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 2>he is, Zach Seeler. So the cast in this room Sealer,

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Tart Galimore, Deshan Hann, Benito Jones, Jonathan Harris, Isaiah Max,

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Davion Nixon, Brandon Peeley, and Leonard Payne is the UDFA.

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 2>The coaches in that room are Austin Clark and his

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>assistant is new this year. Kinji Cotton departures, Wilkins is gone,

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Davis is gone, Justin Ellis and Byron Cowart are all gone.

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>The arrivals are the guys we just talked about, Tart, Galimore, Harris, Bonito, Mack, Nixon,

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 2>and Payne. It's a lot of new names in there

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 2>right this room. At a glance, look, Sealer is the

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 2>straw that stirs the drink here? How good has this

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>guy been? Matt? Maybe he's talked about more in circles

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 2>that I don't see, But did anybody have a quieter

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>double digit sax season last year? Do you guys know

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 2>who the defensive tackles are that had templus sacks last season?

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.719
<v Speaker 2>Justin Matdabuicke who just got a hundred million bucks. Chris

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Jones is the best defensive tackle in the NFL. And

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Zach Sealler that's it, baby. And how about eight hundred

0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and fifty six snaps in twenty twenty three and seventy

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 2>seven snaps in twenty twenty two, good for seventy eight

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 2>and seventy seven percent of your overall workload. So you

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 2>have that, but how do you build around it? Well,

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 2>he's going to beat any one on one block you

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 2>put in front of him. His length allows him to

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.839
<v Speaker 2>hold the point, read disengage in two gap. But he's

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.559
<v Speaker 2>also got the brute power and surge to really hold

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.199
<v Speaker 2>his own and penetrate as a one gapper and control

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 2>things that way. But I think the best part of

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 2>him is all the selfless, selfless work that he does

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 2>creating chances for others in this defense. Watch Christian Wilkins

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 2>a sack real four of the nine that he had

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 2>are on games, rush games, twists and stunts and slants,

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>and three of those four are him looping off the

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:39.959
<v Speaker 2>work of Zach Seeler. So when I look at how

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>we can get similar pressure, I think about Tierre Tart

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 2>and his explosiveness from that three technique or even the

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>one technique inside. I think about Neville Gallimore going back

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:50.960
<v Speaker 2>to the three tech he played at Oklahoma and how

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>much better he was there and how quick he was

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 2>getting off the football compared to being a nose tackle

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 2>at three hundred pounds who didn't play that way in Dallas.

0:11:58.040 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>So I think there's a good reason to believe you can.

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 2>It will generate the pressure inside with the absence of

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Wilkins by really empowering Sealer and recreating Wilkins's skills in

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the aggregate. Now watching that tape back, it's you're not

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna replace Wilkins. He was so freaking good man, But

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 2>gotta find a way to do it because you got

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 2>better in other parts of your football team. You're gonna

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 2>have to find ways to get these guys up to part.

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 2>It kind of reminds me of Moneyball in a lot

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 2>of ways. I keep saying, recreate him in the aggregate.

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>But what Moneyball doesn't mention when they tell you about

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Jeremy Giambi or Scott Hadiberg or Chad Bradford, is that,

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, they had three cy youngs on their rotation

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 2>with Tim Mudson, Mark Tim Hudson, Mark Molder and Barry Zito.

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>And they also had the MVP in Miguel Toohatta. And

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 2>they also had the best third basement of the league

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 2>in what was his first name, Eric Chavez. Like that's

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>the part of Moneyball no one seems to remember. But

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.719
<v Speaker 2>that's the Dolphins right now. And what we're going to

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>talk about here at the end of the show as

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 2>I break down my position, my color coordinated depth chart

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.679
<v Speaker 2>that I have for you guys, and maybe we'll do

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>it if it's three man prediction. I'm not sure that

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 2>it seems early for that. But anyway, back on point

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 2>here to the point about koreating that recreate and the aggregate.

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I love Tart as a nose tackle and Benito Jones

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 2>is the only guy that weighs three hundred and thirty

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>plus pounds on the roster. But I just I don't

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 2>see it. I don't see it in the game there.

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>They both have had some success, Benito, It's like zero

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 2>technique better be a running play right here, otherwise you're

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.959
<v Speaker 2>not going to get much production there. But I'm curious

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 2>to see what Jonathan Harris's role is. I think he's

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 2>also a best suited for the three technique that's kind

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 2>of on the Broncos tape as a limited role there.

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I think DeShawn Hand is kind of the underrated piece here,

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 2>but he was really good last year and I think

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 2>earned more reps this season despite not getting a lot

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 2>of playing time last year. And again, as long as

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Zach is doing what he does, we're going to be

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 2>just fine. But again, I don't think that the nose

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:44.839
<v Speaker 2>tackle spot is is kind of my concern, which is

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 2>obviously where the question is there on this team or

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 2>on this position group, which gets us into the questions

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 2>portion of the interior defensive line. First, obviously, you know Zach.

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 2>You say, if Zach is there will be just fine.

0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 2>What if he's not there? What if something happens to Zach.

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>It's a fair question. Grant he hasn't missed a game

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 2>as a Dolphin in four plus years, and I would

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 2>also assert the same question exists in the last two years,

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 2>especially last year, when we had no depth beyond Christian Zach,

0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Raikwan and Deshaan Hann, like there was nobody else that

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.679
<v Speaker 2>could play those roles. I think next, who's the backup

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 2>to Benito and run stuffing situations? I don't even like

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 2>the start of there, So that's kind of a tough

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 2>one for me. That's kind of the one spot of

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 2>the football team, the nose tackle that I just don't

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 2>I fly out, don't like who's gonna be the zero

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 2>tech baarfront, heavy front. Look, I just don't know who

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the resolution is there. He's the only one on the

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 2>roster of that size. But I'm curious if it's something

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 2>that also tr Tarkann because he did do it for

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the Titans. He's just a little bit undersized. But I

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 2>just don't think we're big enough at nose tackle. The

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 2>camp battles here seems safe to assume a lot of

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 2>playing time is up for grabs. You've got to replaced

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred and fifty snaps from last year, right, and

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I do like the idea of breaking it down piece

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 2>by piece. To me, Tart gets the first crack of

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 2>the biggest chunk of those reps just because of how

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 2>I think his skill set translates here. But between he, Benito,

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Deshaan Hann, Neville, Harris, all the new who earns time

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 2>there one of the most intriguing groups to watch during

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 2>this entire training camp for your Miami Dolphins. Let's go

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 2>ahead and mark our first break rate there. Come back

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 2>on the other side, do the edge off ball, linebackers, corners,

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 2>and safeties. And we're also going to do my entire

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 2>roster evaluation based upon how I stack up each player

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.520
<v Speaker 2>against the rest of the league. That's next Draft Time Podcast,

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 2>your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation,

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 2>segment two of a Monday, Busy Monday show. Here of

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 2>the Draft Time Podcast breaking down the Dolphins defense, taking

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 2>a look at the entire roster post draft, and we

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 2>pick it back up here off the Edge, where the

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 2>cast of players is Chubb Phillips, Barrett Good, Quentin Bell,

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Chop Robinson, Mohammed Kamara, Cam Brown, and Grayson Murphy are

0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 2>the udfas here. The coach is Ryan Crow, which he

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 2>has already gained plenty of latitude in that room, in

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 2>that building, because he is very very well thought of.

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Your departures are Andrew Van Ginkel. That's the one I

0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 2>cry for. That's the only one that I'm really super

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 2>sad about. Besides really besides Christian Wilkins on the entire defense,

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Emmanuel Agba, Melvin Ingram, Malik Reid, Justin Houston, and Bruce Irvin,

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.440
<v Speaker 2>who hopefully can go have their party in the Casey

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 2>locker room after a playoff loss. Arrivals Barrett chop Kamara

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 2>and the udfas Brown and Murphy. I feel very convicted

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 2>as the rum at a glance here in the thought

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 2>that this is the best edge group in the NFL

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 2>when everybody is healthy, so by no later than Halloween,

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe earlier. We don't have definitive timelines, but I do know.

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm watching JP and Bradley Chubb rehab and work out

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 2>every day during these practices, and they look great. Man,

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 2>they look they You wouldn't be able to tell they

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 2>were coming off season ending injuries and major surgery. But

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 2>we'll find out how that works. I still think I

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 2>think Chubb maybe a little bit later into the year,

0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 2>but not that far. I think JP probably starts reopening.

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 2>That's my guess. I raved about this all last training

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 2>camp with these two guys. How good of a job

0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 2>they did collectively in Chubb and Phillips defending the edge

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 2>of a running game that gets to that spot as

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.720
<v Speaker 2>well as any team, any offense in the National Football League,

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 2>and how they also could do that while being very

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.679
<v Speaker 2>effective rushers of the quarterback. Frankly, I wouldn't take another

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 2>tandem over them. Give me Garrett whoever you want, give

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.160
<v Speaker 2>me what whoever you want. Give me Chubb and Phillips

0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.440
<v Speaker 2>over all those guys, freaky athletes who are massively large

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.840
<v Speaker 2>human beings that can play three downs, can play seven

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty snaps for you, can play with speed

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.399
<v Speaker 2>and power, can condense inside, and in case you forgot,

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 2>they're twenty five and twenty seven years old. Man, we

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 2>are lucky in this group. And then you get Shaq Barrett,

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 2>who is the best human I've met I think in football.

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.439
<v Speaker 2>I met him once and he blew me away in

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.439
<v Speaker 2>his first season off an achilles injury. Last year, he

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 2>just got better and got stronger that you went along.

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I think there's still plenty left from the tank for

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.720
<v Speaker 2>this dude, who I think is on balance right now

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 2>a better player than Van Ginkle. Go ahead and see that.

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I like both of them, but I think Shaq Barrett's

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.639
<v Speaker 2>a better player right now, especially as a rusher, and

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.679
<v Speaker 2>whether it's full time or spelling the guys coming back

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 2>from the injury early on, I think there's a role

0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 2>here that's akin to Ginks as like kind of that

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 2>third guy in the room. But then it's the development

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.240
<v Speaker 2>of the rookies that could really take this group to

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>that next level. I legit think could argue that Chopp

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 2>was the best scheme fit of the entire first round

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 2>of the draft. Just wait until you see him mug

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:06.760
<v Speaker 2>up in the A gap for the first time this

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 2>season and put utter stress on some poor, unassuming center

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 2>and just like that. I thought it was a concern

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 2>of depth at defensive tackle last year. Same here in

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.400
<v Speaker 2>that we only really had Cam Good as a young

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.440
<v Speaker 2>developmental type at the edge. Group. Enter Mo Kamara, who

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm stoked about what he offers. We're deep, we have rushers,

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.040
<v Speaker 2>we have size, we have length, athleticism one of the

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 2>best rooms in the entire National Football League from money,

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 2>the questions here, the only question is when these guys

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.880
<v Speaker 2>are all on the field one hundred percent. I think

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 2>any other questions are those concerned with frivolous luxuries, elite

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 2>elite group here in Miami. The position battles playing time

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 2>in that third role when everyone's healthy. Is it going

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 2>to be Barrett? Is it going to be Chopped? Can

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Chop push Stack? Can Moe push both of them? Can

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Cam Good get back in there from his pre injury

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.840
<v Speaker 2>form and continue his development? These are good battles, and

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 2>I think the lack of analysis in the questions and

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>battles portion just tells you how good side of the

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.399
<v Speaker 2>football is. Off ball linebackers. The cast here Jordan Brooks,

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 2>David Long Junior, Anthony Walker Junior, Duke Riley, Channing Tyndall,

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.880
<v Speaker 2>and Zeke Vandenberg. Your coach is Joe Berry. He's also

0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 2>the run game coordinator. Your departures here are Jerome Baker,

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Calvin Munson, and AJ Johnson, while your arrivals are Brooks

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 2>and Walker Junior. The room at a glance, it's been

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.439
<v Speaker 2>completely remade from what it was two years ago. David

0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Long was the best in the group last year for

0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.160
<v Speaker 2>my money, and I think they only continues to get

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 2>better with more time here, albeit in a different scheme

0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.520
<v Speaker 2>and the translatable thing for him to me though, and

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 2>what Jordan Brooks also brings is the ability to play

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 2>the run from light boxes, a principle of the Fangio

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.479
<v Speaker 2>scheme that has really infiltrated the entire NFL. I mean,

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 2>if you're gonna play dB heavy packages, you have to

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.439
<v Speaker 2>have quick linebackers who can process and get vertical and

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 2>get to the perimeter. That's Brooks, that's long. And if

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 2>you're going to simulate pressures and make everyone a blitz target,

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 2>a blitz candidate, well a few players get downhill better

0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:58.919
<v Speaker 2>than those two guys do. Brooks I think is the

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:02.479
<v Speaker 2>best cover backer in the business outside of Fred Warner.

0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I'd definitely give it to Fred Warner, but anybody else,

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 2>it's a very short list. His ability to get vertical

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 2>and take away that eighteen yard hook throw changes the

0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.640
<v Speaker 2>way offenses have to play against you now. Walker brings

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:15.320
<v Speaker 2>a little more sizzle to his game, something more of

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:16.879
<v Speaker 2>an e rob type of player in the way that

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 2>he bangs between the b gaps, but there's a little

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.480
<v Speaker 2>more buzz and a lot more speed there with him.

0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a good chance that that's your three

0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.359
<v Speaker 2>backer base look when you go that way, but you

0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 2>do that like literally two percent of the plays in

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the season. But I don't think we've had a better one, two,

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 2>three off ball linebacker in Miami since fifty four was here.

0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's not really even counting, you know, like Marlon Greenwood.

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:40.240
<v Speaker 2>It's just because Zach was here. They were so good.

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Some questions I have, I mean, what could you possibly

0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.000
<v Speaker 2>have here? You've got two guys who can and have

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 2>played seven hundred plus snaps, who can cover, who can blitz,

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 2>who can play the run game, You've got depth, You've

0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 2>got special teams. It's a loaded room. The question I

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.199
<v Speaker 2>do have is can Channing Tendall play football? I mean,

0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 2>he was drafted as a four hundred snap guy in

0:20:57.960 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 2>college and it just hasn't worked for him so far.

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:01.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure it's a question because it kind of

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 2>feels like we already have the answer there off of

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 2>a red shirt rookie season where he played a couple

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:07.440
<v Speaker 2>of snaps in one game and never saw the field. Again,

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.320
<v Speaker 2>then another coach who I didn't care for, but he

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.399
<v Speaker 2>also said nope on changing Tendall, and then an aw

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 2>season that saw two big signings. I think they're writing

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 2>probably on the wall there for your was he fourth

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 2>round pick or third round pick a couple of years ago?

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 2>The battles here. Copy and paste the edge portion. I

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:23.679
<v Speaker 2>feel pretty good about what this will look like in

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.399
<v Speaker 2>terms of pecking order, but you also get surprises all

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 2>the time, so don't write down in pen But I

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 2>just think this is one of the most well balanced

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 2>rooms on the team. Does not leave a ton open

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to interpretation. Let's go ahead and do cornerbacks here. Sorry,

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:38.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm clicking the mouse and trying to figure out my

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.719
<v Speaker 2>spot on the rundown before our last break. So the

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 2>cast at cornerback is Ramsey Fuller, Coohu Needham Smith, Neil

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Bonner your udfas or Storm Duck great name, by the way,

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 2>and Isaiah Johnson. Your coaches. Matthew Rougo is a cornerbacks coach,

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:56.239
<v Speaker 2>pass game coordinator Brian Duker. Departures in the room are

0:21:56.400 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Xavier Howard, Justin Bethel, Keon Crossen, and Perry Nickerson. And

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:04.119
<v Speaker 2>the arrivals are Kendall, Fuller, Saran Neil, and then the

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.320
<v Speaker 2>UDFA is Duck and Johnson, Storm Duca Johnson. It's like

0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 2>a long name. Never mind, So the room at a glance,

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 2>imagine that another room with the Dolphins got better this offseason. First,

0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.200
<v Speaker 2>please give me seventeen games of Jaylen Ramsey this year

0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:20.440
<v Speaker 2>because things were just different with him. And please give

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:24.040
<v Speaker 2>me more matchups of Ramsey traveling. I mean, we saw

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:25.880
<v Speaker 2>what he did to Garrett Wilson no catches on twenty

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.280
<v Speaker 2>four man coverage reps in a game last year, with

0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Ramsey taking him out of the game as a shadow. Weaver.

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Weaver has already talked about how it's doing yourself

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.960
<v Speaker 2>a disservice if you don't utilize Ramsey's versatility. And he's

0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:40.159
<v Speaker 2>not just the best perimeter cornerback on the team, he's

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 2>also the best slot cornerback on the team. He can blitz,

0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:43.919
<v Speaker 2>he loves to come up and play the run. He

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:45.440
<v Speaker 2>could even be a big nickel. If you want to

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 2>go with a Fuller and Smith Campsmith cornerback package that

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 2>has Holland, Poyer and Ramsey as your three safeties, I

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:53.919
<v Speaker 2>just think this group is better all around, and a

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 2>big part of that is the addition of Kendall Fuller,

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.360
<v Speaker 2>with obviously Ramsey's health because everything I said about Ramsey's

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:03.639
<v Speaker 2>versatility that also applies to Kendall Fuller. We can dictate

0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 2>matchups back there. I love the length of tackling the ball,

0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 2>skills and the depth. More on that in the battles here,

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:10.640
<v Speaker 2>because the questions is the next portion of this room.

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I keep seeing concern over Miami's defense and national outlets

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.359
<v Speaker 2>and just going over this all or I guess the

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 2>needs they have. And frankly, the only position we don't

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 2>really know about is like defensive tackle depth beyond like

0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:24.959
<v Speaker 2>two or three, and then the safety depth because the

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 2>edge and their health is a concern. I get that,

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:28.840
<v Speaker 2>But what are the questions there besides health? What are

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the questions at off ball linebacker? What are your questions

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 2>at cornerback? They don't exist. I don't have any. We

0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 2>have the best in the game, Like we have another

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:38.440
<v Speaker 2>top the best cornerback in the game, We have another

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:41.160
<v Speaker 2>top ten cornerback. I think Cam Smith can play, and

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's the one, Like do how does he play?

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Or how does cater Cooho bounce back? From a down

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.879
<v Speaker 2>second year after a great rookie year. Is Nick Needam

0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:51.080
<v Speaker 2>ready to fully contribute? What about Ethan Bonner? I mean,

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 2>my god, we have like six dudes here that I

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.920
<v Speaker 2>think can start on several teams in the National Football League.

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:58.639
<v Speaker 2>My battles I'm looking forward to. I think they found

0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:00.920
<v Speaker 2>something in Ethan Bonner. I really do. But this might

0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 2>be one of the best battles of all the camp.

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Who earns the right to be the third cornerback they

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 2>call upon beyond Ramsey and Fuller, And don't just think

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.479
<v Speaker 2>of it as who is best inside. Your third corner

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 2>could be an exclusive perimeter player. Because of the versatility

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 2>of Ramsey and Fuller. It creates a better your camp

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 2>battle is more wide cast because of that. You don't

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 2>have to pigeonhole these guys. So whether it's cam Cater,

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Needham or Bonner, I just love the options we have there.

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 2>And then you have three guys that could step in

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 2>and play it as backups in my opinion. Oh and

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 2>real quick, if you can summack it, go watch the

0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Week four game in Buffalo and watch all of our

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 2>punt returns. There wasn't many of them that day, but

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:39.639
<v Speaker 2>go watch siran Neil blow up all those punt returns

0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:42.199
<v Speaker 2>by himself. Just FYI, let's go ahead and take our

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 2>last break right there. Come back on the other side,

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna do the safeties, and I'll tell you about

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 2>how I evaluate the entire roster right now on May

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:52.760
<v Speaker 2>the sixth. That's next Drive Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 2>brought to you by Auto Nation. One more group to

0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:02.439
<v Speaker 2>do here in our part two assessment of the roster,

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:05.639
<v Speaker 2>taking a look at the Dolphins post draft twenty twenty

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>four entire breakdown here the safety group, the cast Javon Holland,

0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Poyer, Elijah Campbell, Patrick McMorris and a couple of

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 2>u DFAs and Mark Perry and Jordan Colbert. The coaches,

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 2>dB and pass game specialist Ryan Slowick moves out from

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 2>outside linebackers, and he has an assistant this year in

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 2>DB's coach, DeShawn shed. The departures are Brandon Jones and

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 2>to Shaun Elliott, and the arrivals are Jordan Poyer and

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 2>a couple of udfas and Colbert and Perry. This whole

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:33.719
<v Speaker 2>thing is built around another player who reminds me of

0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Ramsey and fuller in Javon Holland. Yes, his injury was

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 2>kind of devastating to the Dolphins defense down the stretch,

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 2>but we need his versatility and I hope we see

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:45.920
<v Speaker 2>more of that big nickel shrew slot blitz, play down

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:48.639
<v Speaker 2>in the box, go for and edge a jet sweep.

0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 2>But his best role to me is reading from the

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:54.399
<v Speaker 2>post imo in my opinion. But I don't want to

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:56.679
<v Speaker 2>pigeonhole him there either. I think that him and Poyer

0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:59.000
<v Speaker 2>together and how they see the field together is the

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 2>best part of the And if player's got some more

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>juice in the tank, they are going to confuse some

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks and take the football away. But there's questions back

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 2>here right now. Do we have a proven third here?

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:12.679
<v Speaker 2>We don't. I mean, every other spot has proven starters,

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 2>proven depth, and just a laundry list of guys you

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:16.840
<v Speaker 2>feel good about. Besides here a defensive tackle, but we

0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:18.879
<v Speaker 2>don't have it here. We have seen Campbell be a

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:22.240
<v Speaker 2>dynamo on special teams with the occasional defensive rep. But

0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 2>then it's a rookie in McMorris who I didn't care

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:27.199
<v Speaker 2>for his college state. Beyond special teams, you get the

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:29.199
<v Speaker 2>sense this could be a spot they're not done with.

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 2>And how given how active Chris career is every summer,

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 2>every cutdown day, there's going to be someone else out

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 2>of here. There's no way they go into here with

0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:39.439
<v Speaker 2>this collection of players here, but the camp battles. I

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 2>just don't think we're done here. So it's a little

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:43.080
<v Speaker 2>bit of bad faith. But right now it's Campbell and

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 2>McMorris for third safety duties. I mean that right there

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:47.199
<v Speaker 2>tells you you probably have more work to do in

0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 2>the room. So there you go. The defensive assistance. We

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 2>didn't mention as a particular position group Matthew O'Donnell and

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Sean Ryan. And then on special teams it's the same

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:58.320
<v Speaker 2>across the board, Blake, Jason and Jake. I don't know why,

0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:00.600
<v Speaker 2>but it is. And then coach cross spend a Ronnie

0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Bradford a new assistant in the room there as well.

0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:04.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, I teased it for you guys off the top,

0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the roster assessment. Remember the old white board. New fans

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 2>don't recall this, but locked on Dolphins, I just have

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 2>an image of the whiteboard that got updated all the time.

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I would stack the roster in terms of where I

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:16.920
<v Speaker 2>view these players in terms of their league wide rank.

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:20.040
<v Speaker 2>So here's how I grade players. It's the same as

0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:22.679
<v Speaker 2>it's always been. So blue is your blue chip, right

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:25.640
<v Speaker 2>your elite, your top fives at the position, the most

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 2>dominant players in the game. That's the number one spot

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.520
<v Speaker 2>you want to be. Your second quality player tier is

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 2>pro bowl plus starter, top ten, fringe type of guy

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:35.479
<v Speaker 2>like right in that range on the precipice of being

0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:38.200
<v Speaker 2>an elite player but not quite there yet. That's a

0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:41.600
<v Speaker 2>green player. And then orange is a quality starter above

0:27:41.640 --> 0:27:44.240
<v Speaker 2>replacement level, a guy that you feel good about it

0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:45.639
<v Speaker 2>if he's in your lineup as long as you have

0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:48.200
<v Speaker 2>some greens and blues around him. And then the black mark,

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 2>the black indication is replacement level, progress stopper, just kind

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:53.840
<v Speaker 2>of a guy who's there. A good example of a

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 2>black player is Durham Smith likes he's right around the

0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Mendoza line, if you will. Purple is developmental or special teams,

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 2>like if fallows one of one of those two categories,

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:06.440
<v Speaker 2>which basically means I think you're either just a special

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:09.120
<v Speaker 2>teamer or there's some hope in terms of your development. There.

0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 2>We'll have to differentiate those as we go through the

0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:13.440
<v Speaker 2>list here and then red is you haven't played it

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.160
<v Speaker 2>at all in the National Football League, you're a UDFA,

0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 2>or I just think you flat out can't play. Let's

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:20.160
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and do these all here real quick. At quarterback,

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 2>we have four guys. I have two as the green category,

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:26.159
<v Speaker 2>the second one the plus starter, pro Bowl, top ten

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 2>type of guy, and then White is in the replacement

0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.239
<v Speaker 2>level progressed oopper or just kind of there. And then

0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I have two red players I don't believe they can

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 2>play or UDFA with Skyler and the UDFA harders in it.

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Running back, I have a Chan as a blue chip player.

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 2>I think he's gonna be that guy for us this year.

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I think he's Chris Johnson two point zero hereheem mostert

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 2>to me is a green, a pro bowler, a top

0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:47.600
<v Speaker 2>ten guy. And then I put Jillan Wright as an

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 2>orange player. The third the third demarcation here, which is

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:52.640
<v Speaker 2>one of the three good ones you want to be.

0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I think he's gonna be that good this year, but

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm I think has every opportunity to climb up to

0:28:57.040 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 2>the green category. And then I put both Brooks and

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:02.640
<v Speaker 2>ac in that replacement level kind of just their type

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 2>of category. And then I put Jeff Wilson as red.

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I like Jeff Wilson, but I don't think he's a

0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:07.880
<v Speaker 2>fit here for what we want to do in terms

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 2>of all the speed he has in front of him.

0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 2>And then at fullback Ingold to me's a green player

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Pro Bowl Plus Starter, Top ten whatever. That's kind of

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 2>different for fullbacks, but to me, he's in the green category.

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 2>At receiver, Riek is blue, Blue, Chipper Wattles green Pro

0:29:20.600 --> 0:29:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Bowl Plus Starter Top ten guy. And then I have

0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:25.479
<v Speaker 2>Beckham and Malik Washington is Orange players. I just think

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 2>you're both really going to be valuable, valuable fits here.

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 2>And then the next couple of guys I'm not sure on,

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:32.960
<v Speaker 2>but I put black replacement level of progress starter starter

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 2>just there on Azukama, Taj Washington, and River Craycraft. We'll

0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 2>find out how that plays out. And then I put

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>special teams on Barrios, and then red categories for the

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 2>other four guys Sanders, Schwartz, Sexon, and Burton. At tight end.

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I have John hu and Fortson as Orange quality starter

0:29:47.720 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 2>above replacement level players. We've got Durham Smyth as the

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 2>black category. Purple is going to be sorry, I'm getting

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 2>text right now, my purple tight end is Julian Hill.

0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 2>I think he's developmental still, and then I have Con

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.760
<v Speaker 2>and Roochie. The UDFA is red. We'll find out about

0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.560
<v Speaker 2>those guys. At tackle, I have both Armstead and Jackson

0:30:05.600 --> 0:30:08.600
<v Speaker 2>as that green category the Pro Bowl top ten level,

0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:10.800
<v Speaker 2>and yes, Austin Jackson was a top ten right tackle

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 2>for me my money last year. Kendall Lamb is orange.

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a quality starter above replacement level, and

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 2>then purple is both Keon Smith and Patrick Paul who

0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I have as full developmental guys still at the stage

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 2>of their career, and then red as Hayes and Mattos.

0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Will find out about those guys no playing time so far.

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Interior offensive line, Brewer and Winner both orange, which that's

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 2>for the roster concerns here, right you have two orange

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and then three black for me replacement level just kind

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 2>of there. That's Eikenberg, Rob Jones, and Jack Driscoll, and

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:41.000
<v Speaker 2>then I have Lester Cotton is also in that category

0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:43.800
<v Speaker 2>with Chasen Hines and the two udfas Jones and Mayer

0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 2>as red. On the interior defensive line, Steeler is green.

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:49.520
<v Speaker 2>I could push him into blue with another year, just

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 2>like last year, but there's a lot of good defensive

0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:52.640
<v Speaker 2>tackles in the league, so I won't go that far.

0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Tart is orange that third category, and then I have

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 2>four guys in the Black category replacement level hand Gallimore, Harris,

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:01.240
<v Speaker 2>and Benito, with Peelee, Nicks in Mac, and pain all

0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:03.640
<v Speaker 2>in the Red category. Off the edge. Phillips is a

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 2>blue chip player for me. I thought he was there

0:31:05.960 --> 0:31:07.479
<v Speaker 2>last year when he got hurt. I think he'll get

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:10.000
<v Speaker 2>there once he gets back. I have Chubb just beyond

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 2>that in the Green category, right behind Chubb in that

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:14.440
<v Speaker 2>pecking order, and then I have Shaq and Chop both

0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 2>in the orange categories. We have four guys here from

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:17.920
<v Speaker 2>me here in the top three categories where you want

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 2>to be, and then I have Kamara and Good in

0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 2>the purple categories, with Bell and Murphy as the red categories.

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Inside linebackers, I have Brooks and Long in the in

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 2>the green category Pro Bowl level caliber players top ten

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 2>players their position plus starters, and then in the black

0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 2>categories Anthony Walker Junior, Developmental slash special teams which for

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 2>rally special teams. That's where Duke Riley falls, and then

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Tyndall and Vandenberg in the red category. At cornerback, I've

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:45.320
<v Speaker 2>got Ramsey and Fuller as the elite top five at

0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:48.160
<v Speaker 2>their position player. I think they're both so dang good.

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I have cam Cater, Needham, and Bonner all in the

0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:53.800
<v Speaker 2>orange category, although I expect one of those four to

0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:56.040
<v Speaker 2>elevate into the green category. So I have two blue

0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 2>chippers and I think I'm gonna get a green guy

0:31:58.040 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 2>by the end of the end of the year. Like

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:02.160
<v Speaker 2>cornerback room is loaded. Then I have Neil's a purple

0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 2>special teamer, and then the two udfhas are red. That's

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:05.840
<v Speaker 2>what they're always going to be for me heading into

0:32:05.840 --> 0:32:08.720
<v Speaker 2>the year. Holland is green, not quite a blue chip yet.

0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Poyer is orange, just hanging onto that before he goes

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:13.440
<v Speaker 2>back to black if another down year this year. And

0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:16.840
<v Speaker 2>then two developmental slash special teamers in Campbell and mc morris,

0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:20.000
<v Speaker 2>and the two udfas excuse me, Colbert and Perry are

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 2>both red. So the breakdown of the roster is this,

0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I have five blue chip players in the roster, eight Chan, Reek, Phillips, Ramsey,

0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 2>and Fuller. I have eleven green players to Moster Ingold Wattle, Armstead, Jackson, Seler, Chubb, Brooks,

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Long Holland This rosters loaded, guys, Orange. I have sixteen guys,

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:41.120
<v Speaker 2>so that gives you thirty two players that are quality

0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:44.080
<v Speaker 2>starters or better. Five are top five of their position,

0:32:44.120 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 2>and eleven more guys are top ten. Yeah, the window

0:32:46.440 --> 0:32:48.880

0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:51.720
