<v Speaker 2>He's got my ad hands in the playoffs. What is up,

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Dolph Fans? And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. I

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 2>am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show we

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 2>have another combine recap of sorts for you guys.

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 1>On the episode, we'll.

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Talk about the workouts that happened on the field, plus

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>some gibber jabber from around the NFL media landscape, and

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>a heck of a lot more from the Baptist Health Studios.

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 2>We're back home inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>is the Draft Time Podcast by day. So we're back

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 2>home from Indianapolis. And first off, it was great, it

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 2>always is. I just think the connectedness, if that's a word,

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.040
<v Speaker 2>of the downtown area in Indy is what a city

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.639
<v Speaker 2>is supposed to be, almost like European in its style,

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 2>because in America and South Florida especially, everything is like

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.119
<v Speaker 2>a half hour drive. Right If you venture into Miami

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.759
<v Speaker 2>itself and you're not a proward boy like I am,

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 2>and you go into that traffic.

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>It's at least an hour long commute no matter where

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you go.

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>But everything in Indy is close, and there are sky

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 2>bridges and indoor walkways that prevent you from having to

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>bear the cold weather too much. Now, that wouldn't have

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>mattered one iota on Tuesday when it was a record

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>high sixty five degrees on a February twenty eighth, I

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 2>believe was that day in Indianapolis. Then a overnight massive

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 2>windstorm pushes in thirty degree temperatures with a consistent fifteen

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 2>mile per hour wind and gusts up to thirty miles

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 2>per hour. And the only part that required outside for

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>me and JT are a great videographer. Here is our

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 2>walk from our hotel to the convention center, and it

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>was literally a quarter mile, but lugging some gear in

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>those temperatures and those winds who buddy the humidity down

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 2>here is so many things right, and we think often

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 2>negatively about that. But I'll tell you this, if you

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 2>haven't left South Florida in sometime and gone to a

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>cold weather environment, the way your skin dries out, my goodness,

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.959
<v Speaker 2>my knuckles were like getting cracked by the end of it,

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 2>is that.

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Why South Florida is home to so many beautiful folks.

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I tend to think it is that the sunshine tends

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>to invite, you know, different type of clothing that requires

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.679
<v Speaker 2>different type of bodies. Right, But I digress from all that.

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of bodies and how they look, let's talk about

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.959
<v Speaker 2>the combine. But still I want to get more on

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>this Indianapolis life because I also had the best burger

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 2>of my entire life when I was there, and by

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>total accidents. So JT once again and I went to

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>the Pacers and Pelicans game on Wednesday, which awesome, awesome

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 2>arena right in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. And after that,

0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>we tried to go to this brewery that was right

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.639
<v Speaker 2>now next door because cold Weather didn't want to walk

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 2>too far. But their kitchen closed at nine and we

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 2>got there at eight forty five. And I refuse to

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 2>be that guy. JT is what we refuse to be

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 2>those guys like fire up your kitchen, go ahead and

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 2>make us some stakes.

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Twenty minutes past a closing time. It was just burgers,

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>but I wasn't gonna do it right.

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 2>So the trip was great, had a great time, got

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>a chance to talk to some prospects and some media

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 2>folks and watch the workouts all weekend long and just

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:26.239
<v Speaker 2>really had a great time. So I want to go

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 2>ahead now, though, and pivot and talk about the actual

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>combine and the on field workouts, because I know you guys,

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>that's what you come here for, right, You don't care

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>about the great good egg burger I had at the

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>District Tap in downtown Indianapolis. So I want to talk

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 2>about just a handful of these guys and position groups

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 2>and what we learned from this year's scouting combine.

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>And it started off.

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm going kind of an order here with who worked

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>out in order, and it kicked off with the linebackers

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 2>and defensive line right. I took a look at that

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 2>class and man, the way Chop Robinson runs, the way

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Darius Robinson measured in multi pole categories, the way layout

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>to Latu's film and workout all goes together. I think

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>you look at those three edge players, and I haven't

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:09.839
<v Speaker 2>gotten deep enough into it yet to give you real

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 2>insight perspective on the fifth and sixth round draft picks

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 2>that you could potentially be looking at in that spot,

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>or even the guys in the third and fourth round

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 2>if Miami are to trade back and get themselves back

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 2>into the middle of this year's draft class, which I

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 2>hope that's what happens, because I think we need more

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>picks in that range to hit and be guys that

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 2>can be contributors on those cheap rookie contracts. But for

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>the edge group, those three guys I think really kind

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 2>of pinged my interest in terms of guys that could

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>potentially be there. I think Chopp ran himself right into

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the top twenty. He's the Penn State guy. I never

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 2>thought Lot two would make it because he's just so

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 2>damn good even if the medical isn't where you want

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>to be. I mean, that's kind of what happened to

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Phillips, and he went eighteenth overall because the measurables

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>and the just pure production of his playing time and

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 2>what the tape showed you it was it was inarguable right,

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 2>it was so good, and I think that's where law

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>to falls. Whereas Darius Robinson from Missouri, Gosh, he has

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.359
<v Speaker 2>that similar you know, kind of kind of like Christian

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Wilkins inside outside pivot ability, two hundred and ninety three pounds,

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 2>really good bend around the edge, and he showed you

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 2>that with the way he ran the shuttle in the

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 2>three cone and in the forty yard dash and all

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 2>the stuff that really measures your movement skills and your explosiveness.

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.840
<v Speaker 2>So watching those guys get after on that first day

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 2>makes me think those are some options there at that position.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 1>And we're gonna talk on Wednesday's podcast about this.

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I've kind of pivoted out of what I've been telling

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>you guys for a long time here on the podcast,

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 2>and I've been talking about the interior offensive line because

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 2>if you go back over Chris Career's draft history, the

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins draft history since his you know, appointment in twenty sixteen,

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.840
<v Speaker 2>but really in recent years as well, they haven't gone

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 2>outside of the premium spots in those draft classes. The

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.600
<v Speaker 2>one exception to that was Minka Fitzpatrick, and Minka Fitzpatrick

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 2>wasn't really I mean, he played more cornerback in Miami

0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>than he did safety, and when you consider him a

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>safety at Alabama, you knew it was this idea of

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>slot safety mix. You know, rush the quarterback, fit the run,

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 2>play some perimeter cornerback. Like you knew it was coming.

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.239
<v Speaker 2>With a caveat this is this guy's not just a safety.

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>He can play multiple spots in your secondary and never

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 2>leave the field. And those guys that do that, like

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 2>we saw with Derwin James get his big contractor Eumenka

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 2>himself get those big contracts. You see the value that

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.160
<v Speaker 2>league places on guys by how they get paid when

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 2>it comes up to contract time, and so Minca Fitzpatrick's

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>second contract would tell you that he wasn't in a

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 2>non premium position, whether it was with Miami or the

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh Steelers or Alabama, because he got paid commesurate with

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 2>guys that have a bigger impact than what your traditional

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 2>safety Will Garner, right, And Javon Holland probably falls into

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 2>a category more along that line than he does. You know,

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Deshaun Elliott, for instance, who got you know, played really

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 2>well last year, but you can see where the safety

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 2>market kind of comes up short by the compensation there.

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Or Kyle Hamilton for the Baltimore Ravens, who was the

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 2>best player in that draft a couple of years ago, right,

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 2>like it was clear he was the best player in

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>the damn class, and he goes fourteenth because he plays

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>a position that doesn't have that value perceived to the

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 2>other groups, because if you go back to twenty sixteen

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 2>first round Laemye Tunzel, I'm doing my Wednesday podcast bit already.

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of regretting this.

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Twenty seventeen Charles Harris was an edge, twenty eighteen MINKA.

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Twenty nineteen Christian Wilkins a defensive tackle that has become

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 2>again eighty five percent snap taker inside outside versatility, like

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna get paid at a level that shows you

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of a premium spot at this stage, or

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 2>at least on the periphery of premium positional value. Right, Like,

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 2>linebackers don't make that much. Running backs don't make that much.

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Tight ends don't make that much. Safeties don't make that much.

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Guards don't make that much. Twenty twenty first round quarterback,

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 2>offensive tackle, cornerback. Like three of the premier positions twenty

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, the ones we didn't check off in twenty twenty,

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 2>receiver and edge. Those are the five premier positions, right

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 2>with Waddle and Phillips. Those were your picks then then

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two, no draft pick, No twenty no draft

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 2>pick in twenty two, So was it seven of those

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>nine picks were premium spots, and the two guys that

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>were not premium spots have kind of become premium players

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 2>from their production and just kind of their usage in general.

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>So I'm kind of pivoting off that thought into I

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>think the first round probably belongs to a premium position

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>because what better way to maximize your resources you have

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>and the value of that pick than to make it

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 2>a player you have for four years under cost control

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>rookie contract at a position where when that player hits

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 2>like you hope they do by year two, three or

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 2>four and becomes a premier player, you're now getting premiere

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 2>production for a fraction of the cost of what that

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 2>would cost for an extension or even more beyond that

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the top of the market free agency, right because we

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 2>know that when guys resigned to their own clubs, and

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 2>we just saw today Mike Evans got a new contract

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 2>from the Buccaneers, which, by the way, how cool is

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 2>to watch Jets Twitter meltdown?

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>That was like their top target the entire year.

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>That was kind of how they got themselves through the season,

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 2>and already before free agency gets here, he's already off

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the board.

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I just hate that team so much.

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 2>But you saw him get paid by the Bucks and

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 2>take take a little bit of a haircut. Not much,

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 2>but he probably could have got more on the open market,

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.680
<v Speaker 2>because when you get to the open market, it becomes

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.839
<v Speaker 2>a feeding frenzy, a bidding war, an opportunity for teams

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 2>to say, well, they offered you this, you know, top

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 2>of the market. We can go a little bit beyond

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.080
<v Speaker 2>that and stretch because we have.

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>All this cap space.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Because by the way, when you have cap space, it

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 2>means you probably suck the year before we have that,

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 2>so we can afford to pay it to you. And

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 2>that's what teams tend to do, and that's how you

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.719
<v Speaker 2>get yourself into cap hell. That's how this team was

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 2>ran under Mike Tannembum for a long time, where they

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 2>would milk these you know, aging players who are beyond

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 2>their prime yeers of their career and give them money

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 2>into the back end of their contract with these restructures

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.319
<v Speaker 2>in order to open up money right now for that

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.839
<v Speaker 2>one splash signing. And then we drop in Dominican sue

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 2>in and have no offensive line, have no running game,

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 2>have me you know, as you guys will say, the

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 2>kids out there, mid receivers that has questionable defensive backfield,

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.559
<v Speaker 2>but we got Dominican Sue damn it, we won March again. Like,

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.199
<v Speaker 2>that's how how bad teams are ran. And when you

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 2>can offset those ideas with production at the rookie level,

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>that's where you get your big wins. So I think

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 2>that the idea for the Dolphins and a lot of

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 2>teams across the league, drafting those premium positions tends to

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 2>be the smarter play, and when you hit on them, gosh,

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 2>it works out because we're going to have like Phillips

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.679
<v Speaker 2>and Waddle next year, assuming they.

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Don't get extended, which maybe they do.

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 2>But if you have them in the what would be one,

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 2>two three the fourth year of their career, like they're

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be playing like top ten receivers and edge

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 2>rushers but being paid like, you know, thirty fifth among

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>their position group. That's where you really get the maximum

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 2>value from those spots. So that's why I include Chop

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Robinson and Darius Robinson and layout two lat too, because

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that position is well with him play right

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 2>there and it makes sense with how this class could

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 2>stack up. So those guys to me kind of won

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 2>the early portion of the workout I want to finish

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 2>up this first segment talking about the player that really

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 2>jumped off the workouts for me, actually, there was a

0:10:58.320 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 2>couple of the Kentucky linebackers in there.

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:00.319
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 2>He was really athletic and moved around and showed you

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 2>some of this ability because to me, we don't talk

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 2>about linebackers as a premium position.

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>But man, when you go back and look at the.

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Final four teams the last couple of years, they tend

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.319
<v Speaker 2>to have a couple of traffic cops in the middle

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 2>of the field who can really erase that deep hook

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 2>zone right where we live. The Dolphins live on those

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 2>fifteen eighteen yard rips on time from Tua to Tyreek,

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 2>from Tua to waddle from Tuda Ceddrick Wilson doesn't.

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Matter to it to anybody.

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:33.719
<v Speaker 2>To to me, the linebackers that can minimize that and

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>use length and speed to get depth, but also have

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the recognition and the length and the speed to get

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 2>downhill and impact the running game. That all marries off

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>of each other, right, And so those types of players

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 2>you're Fred warners, Gosh, they sure are valuable. So there

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 2>are exceptions to every position group, and the Kentucky kid

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 2>can move. But when I go back to that linebacker group,

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.679
<v Speaker 2>Peyton Wilson from NC State man, he looks like the

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 2>next one to me. Because again going back over the

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 2>final four of the Chiefs with Gay and Drew Trankwell

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and Nick Bolton, or the Niners with Fred Warner and

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.839
<v Speaker 2>dra Greenlaw, or the Ravens with ro qwant Smith and

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Queen. All these teams, the Lions alex Anzeloni and

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Jack Campbell both had great years this year as a

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 2>rookie and a free agent that was kind of cast

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 2>off from a previous regime.

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Right, All these teams have these guys that can impact

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the game that way.

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 2>And the nice part about it is I don't think

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.959
<v Speaker 2>you have to spend high draft capital to get those

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 2>types of players. Fred Warner was a second round draft pick.

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Ro Quan Smith went very, very high, but he was

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 2>like a unicorn in that sense. Patrick Queen was a

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.959
<v Speaker 2>late first round draft pick. Drake Greenlaw was drafted way

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 2>down the board, right, Alexandzelini like a fifth round draft pick.

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.719
<v Speaker 2>Jack Campbell wasn't the first round, but you can kind

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 2>of see there's this blend of size speed combination in

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the ability to impact the hooks Owe. I think that

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Peyton Wilson might be that guy, and it might not

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 2>cost you a premium pick to do it. One because

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 2>of the positional value and what you're hoping he becomes,

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 2>which he's not yet. And two he has a medical history.

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 2>But this guy can run man and he's got the length.

0:12:55.520 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 2>It's like almost it's almost Brian Erlacker s because you

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 2>guys areann to play Madden back in the day when

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Brian Urlacker in the rushing attack game just was like

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>bigger than everybody else and faster than everybody else and

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 2>just ruined it if you were trying to play against

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>that defense. It kind of reminds me of that at

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 2>his best. So I thought he really won the day

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.440
<v Speaker 2>on Friday, along with those edge players that I talked about.

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 2>And there's gonna be tons of guys we don't cover

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.319
<v Speaker 2>here on one edition of the podcast, but very interesting

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>crop there. I want to go ahead and take our

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 2>first break right here and come back and talk about

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 2>the dbs that ran well and what that group could

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 2>look like, and also come back and talk about the offense.

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Plenty more to come your way here on this Monday

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Combine Recap edition of the Draft Time podcast, your host

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Travis Wingfield, brought.

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>To you by Auto Nation.

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 2>So, defensive beck is another one of those premium positions,

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and not defensive beck per se. More so the cornerback

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 2>spot right that is one of your quarterback, receiver, tackle, edge,

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 2>corner are the five premium positions in the National Football League.

0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.559
<v Speaker 2>And I've seen it from folks out there, Folks that

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, folks that I know, ghost to Adam Gaates,

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 2>what's up, buddy, how you doing talking about like if

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 2>they take a cornerback it's a miss, dog, No it ain't.

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.079
<v Speaker 2>It's never a miss to hit on a great player

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 2>at a premium position for all the reasons I just

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 2>laid out. And when I watched these cornerbacks scoot and

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 2>toote baby, there was eight of them that ran forties

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 2>sub four four. There are all kinds of guys in

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 2>this class that can reroute, that can be physical, that

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 2>can get up in your face and change the complexion

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of how these timing offenses want to work and then

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 2>have the vertical speed to get deep when they lose

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 2>their press at the lion of scrimmage. And for Miami,

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 2>where I think that I think you invest in Jalen

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Ramsey for a long time and make him finish his

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 2>career here however long he wants that to be, and

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.400
<v Speaker 2>you play him at that cornerback position where he can

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of move about, and Coach Weaver talked about his

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 2>flexibility and how valuable it is to a football team.

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>You maximize that while he has that skill set, and

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 2>then once he loses a half step, I think he

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 2>can become one of the best safeties in the National

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Football League. So for me, heavily in Jalen Ramsey's future.

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 2>And we know that camp Smith has a lot of ability.

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 2>We know that I believe in camp Smith as much

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 2>as anybody out there, But you cannot tell me fortifying

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>that position and investing in it for your biggest resource

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 2>that you have your first round draft pick and to

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 2>hit on that spot with what you have in Ramsey,

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>with what you have in cater Co who which if

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 2>camp Smith works out, these guys would all play at

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 2>some point right.

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Cornerbacks tend to do that. We saw it last year

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>in training camp.

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 2>The cornerback position each of the last two years completely decimated.

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 2>So I look at the way the cornerbacks ran and

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 2>then some of the guys in this class, like if

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Quinny and Mitchell after the way he worked out, I

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 2>think he's cornerback one now after his Combine and Senior

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 2>bowlwork from Toledo to overtake a guy from Alabama and

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Terry and Arnold who only ran a four or five

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>but still goes in the first round, and you think

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 2>that probably was going to be cornerback one before all

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 2>the pre draft stuff happened. And by the way, if

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>he's at twenty one, wouldn't hesitate it either. Terry Arnold's

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 2>a great looking prospect. So my whole point is if

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 2>be because of some of these workouts and some of

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 2>the moves and some of how the position board stacks

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 2>in terms of you know, Matt Miller talked about in

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 2>the podcast last week.

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I keep reading about it on Twitter.

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Twenty of thirty two picks in the first round are

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 2>going to be offense at minimum. You know, all this

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 2>talk about the offensive talent in the quarterback position, the

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 2>offensive line, the receiver position. If that has an impact

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 2>where it pushes down the corners and edge players and

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 2>you get into the crack at a Jalen Phillips, you

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 2>get into the crack in the second round in Xavion

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Howard like turn the freaking cart in Man, I'll take

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 2>four years of elite play for fraction of the cost

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 2>of what that elite play cost at a premium position.

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 2>That's my point. Don't draft for your needs right now.

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 2>That's a terrible way to do it, terriboy, to approach

0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 2>your team building because next year, guess what, your knees

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 2>will be different. And you'd rather have a premiere, five star,

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 2>blue chip cornerback than a three and a half star

0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 2>center because you needed center in twenty twenty four.

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Get me.

0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 2>So those are the guys that really caught my eye there.

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I've talked about slot cornerbacks for days in this podcast.

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and pivot now to the tight end

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 2>clash because I wrote down four names here that also

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 2>worked out that I thought were super impressive, and they

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 2>are Taylor McLoughlin from Arizona, Jatavian Sanders from Texas. I've

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 2>talked about Brevin span Fod from Minnesota, A Bunch, and

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Ben sinnat Son. I don't know how to pronounce that.

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 2>I haven't heard it said yet from Kansas State. But

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 2>holy moly, man, the Kansas State kid, Let's pull him

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 2>up real quick. His combine four six eight forty was impressive.

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.639
<v Speaker 2>And I watched him at the Senior Bowl, and he

0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 2>was a tricky evaluation there for me because he got

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 2>himself in and out of the notes because he kept

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.440
<v Speaker 2>on wasting fools like leaving dudes in his dust in

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 2>his tracks and then wouldn't squeeze the football. But you

0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.200
<v Speaker 2>go to the combine and he's six foot four and

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 2>he's two hundred and fifty pounds and he jumped a

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 2>forty inched vertical and a ten foot six broad. Oh

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.760
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, his three cone was better than

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot of receivers at six point eight two with

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 2>a four to two three shuttle and a one five

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.439
<v Speaker 2>to nine ten split. That might be your tight end

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 2>rate there. And I don't know where he goes off

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.159
<v Speaker 2>the board, but my goodness, what a workout for this

0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 2>guy who also from Kansas State's program, does money of

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 2>end line blocking and gets himself attached to edges and

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.159
<v Speaker 2>linebackers and safeties alike in the blocking game. Pretty excited

0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 2>about what he could possibly be for the Miami Dolphins

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 2>if he winds up a Miami Dolphin I'm curious what.

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Let me pull this up real quick because I think

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.719
<v Speaker 2>his three cone, Yeah, he was the fastest among all

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 2>tight ends.

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>What if we get rid of that qualifier? How do

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you get rid of the qualifiers? Six eight to two? Dude?

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.600
<v Speaker 2>He was one, two, three, four five six seven eight.

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.439
<v Speaker 2>He was the ninth fastest three cone. A cornerback, a receiver,

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.160
<v Speaker 2>three receivers, a running back, a quarterback, a running back,

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 2>a corner A tight end shows up in this in

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:38.440
<v Speaker 2>this list.

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 1>What the hell's he doing there? What what are you

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:41.480
<v Speaker 1>doing up there?

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Uh so? Yeah, Benson note from Kansas State. I am

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 2>very intrigued by his skill set as that kind of

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 2>stretch athletic tight end but also can impact the running game.

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:51.880
<v Speaker 2>And then Jatavian Sanders with the guy that you heard

0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Reed talk about on the podcast on Thursday from Texas.

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 2>This guy's impressive man tall, can get down the football field,

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.159
<v Speaker 2>can pluck the ball top of helmets of safeties, and

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.399
<v Speaker 2>just kind of stretch teams inside that way. And we

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 2>actually heard Tyreek Hill talk about which player in the

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 2>class he would want the most for the Dolphins to

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 2>draft on hit one of his twitch streams or whatever

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the hell I'm trying to talk about here, and he

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 2>said he wants to give from LSU and Neighbors. Now,

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, Tyreek Neighbors is gonna be a top six pick. Bro,

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 2>He's not gonna be there. But he was Tyreek Sam like,

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I can play more on the slot. I could be

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Aman Ross Saint Brown, he said, which was kind of funny,

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>but thinking about the possibility of players of that size

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 2>that can go outside and win on the perimeter. So

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.600
<v Speaker 2>the Tyreek can get more work inside because last year

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Tyreek and Waddell couldn't play as much slot. Why because

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:32.840
<v Speaker 2>we don't have the guys on the outside to win.

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Cedric Wilson was on an outside guy. River Craik crafts

0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 2>on an outside guy. Baxenberry was sure is held on

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.119
<v Speaker 2>an outside guy. So maybe that's something you look at there.

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Although I still tend to believe that you should go

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>after players that are just good and have speed and

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 2>are good players, regardless of the type of players you

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.680
<v Speaker 2>already have in that position group. And that's why we

0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 2>land here on Texas's Xavier Worthy. If you guys saw

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 2>me tweet about this, I put a comment up on

0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:59.120
<v Speaker 2>the old tweeter about his record breaking forty yard dash

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 2>of four point two one seconds. He eclips John Ross

0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 2>who ran four to two two back in was it

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 2>nine for the U dub Husky and got drafted by

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 2>the Cincinnati Bengals.

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Was it nine? I don't know when that was.

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I could be way off on that, but yeah, Xavier

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Worthy is a new record holder for combine forty yard dash.

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 2>And there was a play where he catches a jet

0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 2>sweep against some college team who cares you'll watch it anyways. Uh.

0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.800
<v Speaker 2>He wins the short corner where the cornerback is in

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.440
<v Speaker 2>the fit, which is the furthest like portion of the field,

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 2>like it's the perimeter, and Worthy's like, I got you

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 2>and just runs right around him, kind of like Tyreek

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:32.879
<v Speaker 2>in the Denver game on that opening touchdown when he

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:34.960
<v Speaker 2>ran right around a corner who thought he had the

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 2>angle cut off and didn't and lost and it was

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.960
<v Speaker 2>six points. Like that, speed man, you put one more

0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.120
<v Speaker 2>of those guys in the field, just one more of them,

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 2>like it multiplies what everybody else Wattle, Tyreek eight chan,

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 2>like it multiplies their skill. I am very intrigued by

0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.959
<v Speaker 2>the idea of Xavier Worthy and all these receivers. Man,

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 2>this is such a good receiver class. It's why I

0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of want to move off the first round, use

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 2>that first round pick for I don't know whoever it

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 2>might be. You know, I think Fatana's gone the U

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 2>dub tackle, but maybe it's him. If you move back

0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:09.640
<v Speaker 2>in the draft a little bit, you get an extra

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 2>third round pick, and you come back and you use

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.520
<v Speaker 2>that third round pick for a receiver in the second round,

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:14.640
<v Speaker 2>pick can be your offensive lineman.

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Like, there's a lot of options here for.

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 2>The Dolphins, and I think because of the way this

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 2>class is constructed and the deep positions that you have

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>needs at like offensive line and receiver, it can afford

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 2>you the opportunity to kind of sit back and go

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 2>get those positions at various points of the draft because

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 2>there's flavor for everybody at every stage of the draft.

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what we learned from this year's combine

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 2>was just how deep and how good it is back there.

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 2>But Xavier Worthy is the one that gets the marquee

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 2>here because he's certainly earned it. Right.

0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:42.160
<v Speaker 1>How about the running backs, there was a kid from

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:43.959
<v Speaker 1>LSU Isaac.

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I've never heard his name pronounced, which

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.720
<v Speaker 2>is funny because I watched his opening game for Louisville

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 2>back and opening weekend in college football. Six foot one,

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:55.719
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and twenty one pounds, Isaac Garendo. I think

0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 2>it is he ran very fast for three to three

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, come on, that speed plays in our backfield

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 2>right a one to five to five ten split, forty

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 2>one and a half inch vert ten nine broad six

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 2>nine to four to three cone. He is fast as

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.760
<v Speaker 2>all get out, and that's what you want in this backfield.

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:11.720
<v Speaker 1>And I think I could.

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I would have no problem turning the card for a

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:15.879
<v Speaker 2>fifth round draft pick on a running back like that,

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:17.919
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, I have my next eight

0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:20.160
<v Speaker 2>chan moster speed guy. Chris Brooks is in the fold

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.959
<v Speaker 2>as well. My backfield's done right there. Cut it, call

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 2>it good, and then maybe in two years your backfield is,

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:29.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, two years of cheap production with eight chan

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 2>on the rokie contract and Isaac Garendo on the rookie contract.

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>That's something I was looking at with those running back positions.

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:36.199
<v Speaker 2>I touched on the offensive line there a little bit.

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Troy Fatano is the one that really jumps

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.720
<v Speaker 2>off the page right, the way he moved the screen drill,

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 2>the wave drill, the forty yard dash, the ten split.

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.680
<v Speaker 2>He was five to zhero one one one, seven to

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:50.120
<v Speaker 2>one on the ten split, which is gosh, that's choice

0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:51.920
<v Speaker 2>that really puts you in premier position in terms of

0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:55.199
<v Speaker 2>how you move and how you fit in this Dolphins system. Right,

0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:57.160
<v Speaker 2>and then the whole group is like that. Amarius Mims

0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:00.679
<v Speaker 2>had a crazy, crazy short shule time that size.

0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:02.480
<v Speaker 1>He is a very rare breed.

0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I pulled up this great tweet from Josh Norris,

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 2>who does fantastic work for Underdog Football, and he covers this.

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 2>He tracks us every single year.

0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:10.879
<v Speaker 1>It's his.

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:14.440
<v Speaker 2>It's his offensive line threshold statistic that I think, really

0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 2>it's impossible to argue. Quite frankly, let's go ahead and

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 2>let's see where is it.

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:22.960
<v Speaker 1>It's my bookmark.

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 2>There you go. So his his criteria is this four

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to four to seven short shuttle or better. There is

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty four guys that have been drafted since twenty ten

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.879
<v Speaker 2>with that criteria, and the whole list, I mean, it's

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 2>it's Nate Solder, Anthony Costanzo, Andre Dillard, Yikes. Ko Koog's

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the one miss on there, Eric Fisher's, Ion Johnson, Jake Matthews,

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Joel Patonio, Jake Fisher, Ali Marpette, like right, star tackles

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:50.280
<v Speaker 2>star players to the next level, and six guys hit

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:54.120
<v Speaker 2>that threshold this year, Wisconsin's Tanner Bordelini four two eight

0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:58.879
<v Speaker 2>for two eight. He actually also clipped Jason Kelsey's record

0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 2>breaking three cone time of seven to two. He was

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.400
<v Speaker 2>a seven to one to six guy. Like amazing, Amarus

0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Mims at that size, This guy is a freak man.

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>That's the kind of guy that I could see mine.

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 2>He been like, Yeah, let's take a chance on the

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Marius Mims because he is high weight, speed combination to

0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 2>be the best tackle in the NFL with the way

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.240
<v Speaker 2>he looks. Just hasn't had the college tape and he

0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:20.560
<v Speaker 2>has had some injury issues there. But pick twenty one,

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of a gamble you can make in that

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:24.400
<v Speaker 2>position there. If he makes it that far, I doubt

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:27.400
<v Speaker 2>he does. Kansas is Dominic Puney. We talked about him

0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 2>with Daniel Jeremiah on the conference call a couple weeks ago.

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 2>He also got some reps at centers. Maybe he can

0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:34.199
<v Speaker 2>play some of that role. Well, that's a pretty good

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 2>place to be right there, right, NC State's Dylan McMahon

0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 2>four four five, us C's Jarrett Kingston, former Washington State

0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 2>coogu transferred he was four four seven, and then Arkansas's

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 2>guard Brady Latham. So, man, like those are names you're

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna hear on day three. Like that, I'm intrigued by

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:49.719
<v Speaker 2>that and looking into that as guys to look at.

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 2>So that's offensive line we talked about receivers. Quarterbacks is

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 2>the last one here before a final break on the show,

0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 2>and I still continue to come away from this. I

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.560
<v Speaker 2>know Caleb didn't throw. I know, you know a lot

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 2>of the the quarterbacks mostly didn't test, but damn it,

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.680
<v Speaker 2>with the way Michael Pennix spends the football is better

0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 2>than anybody else in the class. I know he's got

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 2>injury issues. I know he hasn't doesn't move the way

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:12.399
<v Speaker 2>Caleb does for sure. I haven't watched the tape yet.

0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do it soon, but I still just

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 2>feel like Michael Pennix, I'm gonna come away from this

0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:21.080
<v Speaker 2>year's draft evaluations thinking he's the best quarterback in the class.

0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:23.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, he looks pretty damn good to me.

0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and take our last break right there,

0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:27.639
<v Speaker 2>come back on the other side, and I have some

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 2>thoughts for you guys. That's the next Draft Time podcast,

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 2>your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by AutoNation. This

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 2>isn't going to be any combined coverage right here. I

0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 2>do want to address a couple of things because one

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 2>of my favorite things to do in the podcast and

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 2>in general is to take what other media outlets are

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:46.840
<v Speaker 2>doing and give you my thoughts on those thoughts, because

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it's good to have balance and to make

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:51.960
<v Speaker 2>where you feel you have some corrections to make, or

0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:53.680
<v Speaker 2>just to kind of weigh in in general and agree

0:25:53.680 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 2>with stuff. And so one of my favorite writers out

0:25:57.280 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 2>there right now, and this is so true for so

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 2>many people that I respect, they.

0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Have taken on this form.

0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 2>I talked to Kyle Krabs about it all the time,

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:12.200
<v Speaker 2>and even the guy I'm talking about even mentions this

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 2>on the podcast, like they're size queens, man, They're so

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 2>in love with arm strength. And I was thinking about

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 2>this other night sitting on the back porch of my house,

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 2>like arm strength is unanimously agreed upon by most people,

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.600
<v Speaker 2>as like the sixth or seventh most important quarterback trade. Right,

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 2>It's just not that it's not up there, it's when

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 2>you need it. It's great, but it's not needed that frequently.

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:35.919
<v Speaker 2>It's like having insane mode on your tesla.

0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 1>You ever using that shit? That stuff? Sorry on the turnpike.

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:44.399
<v Speaker 1>You're not imagine if a receiver, you.

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Know, like route running all like stem stack, catch point

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 2>release hands are important, right, what if you know your

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:54.359
<v Speaker 2>seventh most important receiver trade is like I don't know,

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 2>jump balls right, Like it's just not that important. Like

0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:02.199
<v Speaker 2>the arm strength argument just has gotten so tired because

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.880
<v Speaker 2>you don't you rarely need it. You need it sometimes,

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:07.399
<v Speaker 2>don't get me wrong, but you rarely need that arm

0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 2>strength to fit balls.

0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Into those windows down the field.

0:27:09.800 --> 0:27:11.600
<v Speaker 2>It's great to have it, but I just I don't

0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 2>understand why all these really smart football minds have gone

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:17.199
<v Speaker 2>this way into thinking like big arm, throw ball far

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 2>And I'm getting towards Nate Tice, the great writer for

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Yahoo and does a great podcast with Robert Mays on

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 2>The Athletic Football Show, and he was on the Around

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the NFL podcast, which you know that's for him.

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 1>That's like a seminar of education for those guys.

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:34.760
<v Speaker 2>But he was talking about on this podcast and he

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:38.120
<v Speaker 2>has two A ranked like nineteenth on his quarterback list.

0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 2>He subtweeted a tweet about us paying to A and

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 2>was like doing a Simpsons meme about how it's a

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:46.480
<v Speaker 2>bad idea. And then he goes on this podcast and

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:50.359
<v Speaker 2>I hear him talk about Caleb Williams. I almost like,

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Caleb Martin, go heat baby, Caleb Williams. And he was like, well,

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:57.119
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing, guys. He has all the creativity, and

0:27:57.160 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 2>everyone's trying to find these games and these plays and

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:00.440
<v Speaker 2>these clips to make it look like he's not a

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 2>good player. But you go back and you watch the

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 2>most important things. How does he play from the pocket,

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:06.440
<v Speaker 2>how does he attack the middle of the field. He

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:09.160
<v Speaker 2>goes crazy throwing the ball to the middle of the field,

0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 2>He's accurate in those positions he throws on time, and

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 2>how he hit over seven yards adjusted yards per dropback,

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 2>which with the great quarterbacks do.

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.480
<v Speaker 1>And I listen them to these traits and I'm thinking, well,

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 1>all those traits are.

0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 2>What Tua is like best in the NFL at and

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:25.480
<v Speaker 2>by the way, seven yards per adjusted drop back, Tua

0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.360
<v Speaker 2>was well over those metrics each of the last two years.

0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 2>And that's what Nate was saying was those are the

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:33.719
<v Speaker 2>metrics that typically result in the best quarterbacks a year

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:34.960
<v Speaker 2>and in year out. And like you look at the

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 2>list of those quarterbacks, it's Patrick Mahomes, it is Matthew

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Stafford this year, it is Josh Allen, it's Lamar Jackson.

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>It's too Adunga.

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I loa like his peers that he gets measured against

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 2>for whatever reason because his arm is not big arm,

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:51.440
<v Speaker 2>throwball far. He gets excluded from that group. And I

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 2>don't understand it, because you literally explained in your favorite

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 2>quarterback traits everything that makes two a special and then

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:00.800
<v Speaker 2>you disparage the young man. I don't get It blows

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 2>my mind. I hope we have this reversion back to

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the mean at some point where people don't think about

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 2>how you look in shorts like Zach Wilson throwing the

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 2>football around an indoor facility, and you start to taking

0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 2>into account more film and processing in football and the

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 2>actual management of situations and games. That's what I want

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 2>to see in care about. That's why I like Michael

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Pennock so much. It's why Caleb Williams scares the hell

0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:22.960
<v Speaker 2>out of me. Yeah, he does have some of that

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:25.800
<v Speaker 2>you know on schedule stuff, but all that running around

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:28.200
<v Speaker 2>that ain't gonna work, dude, Like it ain't gonna work

0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:30.760
<v Speaker 2>unless you've got Lamar speed, it ain't gonna work.

0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:32.840
<v Speaker 1>So I'm curious to see what he looks like. He

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 1>terrifies me as a prospect.

0:29:34.840 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Pennox, even though the medical is terrible

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 2>and the age is something to look at, is like

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 2>safer because I know he can do what's required for

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 2>an NFL quarterback to win.

0:29:42.560 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 1>One more note here.

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was hilarious and one of our favorite

0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 2>people talk about the podcast here. A new Werd Dolphins

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 2>podcast was trying to use Ryan Fitzpatrick's passer rating in

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty to say that he was a vastly superior

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.640
<v Speaker 2>quarterback to a tongue of b I Lowa because he

0:29:57.680 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 2>had like twelve points better in passer rating, and the

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 2>the same account will tell you that Tua is nowhere

0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 2>near Justin Herbert. Well, have you seen Tua's passeragas to

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Justin Herbert's last two years? I just want to put

0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 2>down the record. It drives me crazy. And speaking of

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 2>being driven crazy, let's finish up with this. This podcast

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:12.800
<v Speaker 2>is kind of all over the place today, so I

0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 2>apologize for that and I mentioned it, or maybe I'm

0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:19.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna mention it here with it's to my notes, but so, okay,

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>someone on Twitter, I want to finish here because everyone

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 2>I've talked to you has told me how much they

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 2>love this side.

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Of the show or of me. Right, spiey Travis.

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 2>But one thing you have to know doing this stuff,

0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 2>anything within a smidge of the public eye, is that

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 2>not everyone is going to like you. Tough for me

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:40.200
<v Speaker 2>at first, it wasn't conditioned to accept that lifestyle. Now

0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:42.760
<v Speaker 2>four years into it, a little bit more so, right,

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>some people will irrationally hate you for no other reason

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:49.760
<v Speaker 2>than some minuscule Twitter interaction that you don't remember from

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 2>years ago.

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 1>That always gets me.

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Like people also like sometimes I have interactions where people

0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:57.360
<v Speaker 2>come up to me, like fans, huge fan of the podcast, Travis,

0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 2>we had this interaction three years ago on Twitter, and

0:30:59.640 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 2>they don't tell me their names, Like, I don't know

0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 2>your name, bro, Like I'm not podcasting is like that, right,

0:31:05.080 --> 0:31:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Like the person that listens thinks they know the podcaster.

0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:10.800
<v Speaker 2>And I'm a huge fan of my fans, But I

0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:12.720
<v Speaker 2>can't possibly know who all you are just by looking

0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:14.000
<v Speaker 2>at you, you know what I'm saying, So like you

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 2>get this level of like back and forth, it's not

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 2>really tethered to reality. And so I want to start

0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 2>with this because I think Twitter has largely become a

0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 2>useless tool. Did you guys see the reporter and I'm

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 2>using air quotes and we use that term extremely lucy,

0:31:29.280 --> 0:31:33.880
<v Speaker 2>right the Jackwagon who opened up Caleb Williams's presser with

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the worst question of all time. Right, I'm sure you

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 2>have and you'll see he did over five million views

0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:41.480
<v Speaker 2>on that video, which is monetized because of his blue

0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:41.960
<v Speaker 2>check mark.

0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Right, So Elon Lumpy.

0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Elon took this really cool way to connect with sports fans,

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 2>especially during live events. That to me is what Twitter

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:53.560
<v Speaker 2>was always about, was watching live events with the rest

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:55.400
<v Speaker 2>of the country on Twitter and the rest of the

0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 2>world connecting during a live game. So he took that

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 2>formula and incentivized idiots to not just be idiots on

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the platform, Like people calling to a noodle arm to

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:06.680
<v Speaker 2>his mom, shut the hell up, like that's not what

0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:09.520
<v Speaker 2>it's for, people calling Javon Holland names to shut up

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:12.640
<v Speaker 2>you know. But now we've seen people take that to

0:32:12.800 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 2>real life and do it there because they can monetize it.

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:18.960
<v Speaker 2>I had Twitter blue for the season because it's setting

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:21.160
<v Speaker 2>money on fire for me not to do that, I apologize.

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I never thought I would do that, but I had

0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 2>it hit the blue check mark. I'd get rid of

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:26.680
<v Speaker 2>it in the off season because I don't tweet enough

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:27.719
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to be on Twitter that much

0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:29.000
<v Speaker 2>beyond with you guys, I kind of hate it now,

0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:32.600
<v Speaker 2>so in season I unblock everyone because it equals more engagement. Right,

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:34.920
<v Speaker 2>more engagment equals more scratch, trying to feed my kids,

0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 2>trying to get Sweet Caroline her cake pops, which brings

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 2>me to the point of a sellout. Now. I don't

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 2>know if you guys saw this, but somebody called me

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 2>a sellout on Twitter for taking this job and called

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:46.040
<v Speaker 2>me bitch made I think was the term. And by

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:48.560
<v Speaker 2>the way, if you get blocked by someone, don't screenshot

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:49.960
<v Speaker 2>it and share it. It's not a good look. It

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:52.360
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work for you that way. You're bragging about yourself

0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 2>being an a hole, You're bragging about weird behavior.

0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:55.560
<v Speaker 1>At least in most cases.

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Now, I block people when one of the following three

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 2>things happens straight up being rude and insulting.

0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:03.640
<v Speaker 1>No time for that. Be thick skinned. Yeah yeah, yeah,

0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:04.160
<v Speaker 1>forget that.

0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:06.640
<v Speaker 2>It's bad for your mental health to read that stuff

0:33:06.680 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 2>on the regular, and if I welcomed it all in,

0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:10.640
<v Speaker 2>it would be horrible.

0:33:10.720 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 1>For my mental health.

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 2>I had to look out for myself Number two, telling

0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 2>me what my job entails are, how to do it,

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:17.560
<v Speaker 2>or what you perceive me to be in terms of

0:33:17.640 --> 0:33:20.160
<v Speaker 2>like the propaganda machine. Right, yes there is red tape. Yes,

0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:22.760
<v Speaker 2>the podcast has changed, that's clear. I'm not going to

0:33:22.880 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 2>crap on our guys on Twitter.

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:26.520
<v Speaker 1>You should neither. I'm not gonna crap on our guys

0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 1>outside of calling out bad football. You should neither.

0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 2>If you like tagging people's family and commenting under every

0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 2>post with something bad to say, hey, look inward. And

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:37.840
<v Speaker 2>that's the third, the constant negativity. I told a fan

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:39.920
<v Speaker 2>that he needs a new hobby because he wrote under

0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 2>one of my tweets that wasn't about Tua, that paying

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Tua was blah blah blah blah blah. Right, the same

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:47.440
<v Speaker 2>folks that said not signing Lyel Collins was the biggest

0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:49.239
<v Speaker 2>mistake we'd ever make and also wanted you to take

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Nage Harris or Jaylen Phillips right, those folks, that's not

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:54.959
<v Speaker 2>just football, that's life. No time for that nonsense, whatsoever.

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Help I mute my own brother, Ryan, I hope you

0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.800
<v Speaker 2>hear this. I mute my own brother sometimes during the season,

0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:02.440
<v Speaker 2>being because after the opening drive touchdown for the other team,

0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>he gets way too negative, and I just I don't

0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>want any part of that. I get that sometimes negativity,

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 2>when you vent it feels better for you. But when

0:34:09.600 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 2>you cast that toxicity out there, you're getting your bad feelings.

0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Onto everybody else. It sucks.

0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't like it. I don't want to be a

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:20.160
<v Speaker 2>part of it. Have zero capacity for that in my life,

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:22.640
<v Speaker 2>especially from a stranger. My brother's one thing, but a stranger,

0:34:22.880 --> 0:34:25.600
<v Speaker 2>because like, what's the point you're gonna let everyone know

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:28.560
<v Speaker 2>all spring and summer how upset you are the Dolphins

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:30.279
<v Speaker 2>are in this position that you think is bad, that

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 2>they can't compete, they're not a Super Bowl contender. Just

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:34.759
<v Speaker 2>to be wrong in September, right, because we always are.

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 2>It always changes the perceptions you have of the season,

0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:38.799
<v Speaker 2>never go the way you think they will, And then

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:41.480
<v Speaker 2>you spent six months on Twitter getting mad for hypotheticals

0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:43.080
<v Speaker 2>for what who's that for?

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:44.960
<v Speaker 1>To venture toxicity?

0:34:45.040 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Man, So Homie got blocked for being a negative B

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 2>word quite frankly, then thought he'd do the screenshot thing

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:54.279
<v Speaker 2>and he got cooked by the trap fans. Baby, it

0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:56.319
<v Speaker 2>was kind of cool to me to watch because people

0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:58.800
<v Speaker 2>who actually know me and my character they came to

0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:01.160
<v Speaker 2>my defense. I appreciate you guys for that. So most

0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:02.879
<v Speaker 2>of the time I don't see those and I block

0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:04.480
<v Speaker 2>him out, but this one I saw, and then I

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:07.719
<v Speaker 2>went and played with my daughter, because like, that's real life, right.

0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 2>The realization is that most of the time these people

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:13.040
<v Speaker 2>are probably children. I get that, but sometimes it's not.

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Like there's a guy Travis turb I'll call you out

0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:14.840
<v Speaker 2>right now.

0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Bro.

0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 2>He went on this big thing about how he can't

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:19.359
<v Speaker 2>listen to my podcast anymore because we lost three games

0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:22.000
<v Speaker 2>in a row and I wasn't negative enough for him. Man,

0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:23.359
<v Speaker 2>I was pretty hard on the team of those shows.

0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you listened to those podcasts. But I

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:27.440
<v Speaker 2>also just have perspective because I'm in the building. I

0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:29.440
<v Speaker 2>know that's not how the NFL works. No one is

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:33.040
<v Speaker 2>emotional like that, Okay, I'm also thirty six, so I

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:34.800
<v Speaker 2>know that life it has ups and downs, and I

0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:35.319
<v Speaker 2>can handle them.

0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:36.200
<v Speaker 1>It's my first rodeo.

0:35:36.360 --> 0:35:38.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm smart enough to also know that a couple of

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 2>games is not some grand indicator of the next ten

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 2>years of Dolphins football. Like you gotta have perspective. We

0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:45.640
<v Speaker 2>learned these lessons every year, and we refuse to learn

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 2>from them.

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it.

0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:48.840
<v Speaker 2>So Travis turb told me he can't listen to the

0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:51.399
<v Speaker 2>podcast anymore. Still falls on Twitter funny, and I bet

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.239
<v Speaker 2>he comments on this. Just watch they always do. And

0:35:54.280 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 2>then you go back and you look at Travis turbs tweets,

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:59.239
<v Speaker 2>and he was begging me to retweet his collection of

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:02.239
<v Speaker 2>Dolphin's gear like a child would do. So it's either

0:36:02.760 --> 0:36:05.600
<v Speaker 2>children or grown men behaving like children, Like when the

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:08.719
<v Speaker 2>dude who stole the touchdown ball from Tyreek's mom came

0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:11.200
<v Speaker 2>at me, like, bro, you steal baseballs from kids at

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the ballpark?

0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Like sit down.

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:14.840
<v Speaker 2>And the final thing, when people say they go to

0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 2>their truth purveyors, just remember those truth purveyors, Ask me,

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:22.240
<v Speaker 2>what's the three technique, Travis. They don't know the basic

0:36:22.320 --> 0:36:24.480
<v Speaker 2>one oh one fundamentals of the game and about doing

0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:25.840
<v Speaker 2>the stuff for twenty years. So if you want to

0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:28.520
<v Speaker 2>learn nothing and get opinions from that, have that all right,

0:36:28.600 --> 0:36:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Spicy Travis out, Let's go ahead and call it a podcast.
