I am your host, Travis Wingfield and on 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:35.120 today's show, Fien. 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:36.760 That is it. That is all. 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.360 There is no more training camp in twenty twenty four 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.920 is a wrap. We have the notes from the last 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.120 day of work with our in state Cross Conference rivals. 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:48.200 Plus we'll hear from head coach Mike McDaniel, wide receivers 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.920 Jylen Waddle and Braxon Barrios, and a whole heck of 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.480 a lot more from the road in Tampa Bay. This 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:56.800 is the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.040 Couzie gaffis. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.120 Disclaimer off the top. 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.880 We are back to a USB microphone on the road, 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.959 so I hope the audio quality is where we've come 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.160 to expect it with the upgrades and equipment I have 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.039 recently on the last couple of months of podcast here, 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.319 but want to go ahead and put that out there 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.760 off the top because I have become very strict about 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.720 the audio quality here on the show. I hope it 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.880 sounds good. I think it sounds good. I've tested it 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.360 a few times. Sounds good to me. I guess we'll 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.440 find out from the audience what you all think. And 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.240 speaking of all of that, it's a wrap on my 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.040 fifth training camp, sixth in total, five with the team, 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.360 I should say six in total, and time sure flies 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.680 when you're having fun, man, I will say, I think 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.160 this year, more than any the camp fatigue has kind 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.559 of settled in, and this podcast is something of a celebration, 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.360 not necessarily the camp is over, but that the season 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.040 is really upon us for the Miami Dolphins. One more 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.240 exhibition game Friday, and I have a podcast coming up 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.440 that will cover that for you guys tomorrow. But I'm 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:59.560 ready for the season, man. And I think today was 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.880 a really good close to training camp, a rather dominant 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.800 day by your Miami Dolphins. But I think this camp 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.600 as a whole was just a smashing success. I don't 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.560 remember a camp in my five years that was so 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.320 intentional and obviously that first year they had to get 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.240 familiar with everything and there you know, last year was 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.399 fine tuning, taking things to another level. But I think 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.680 this year was more of a playground for the coaches 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.760 and players to really try things out and hone in 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.480 on things they wanted to work on, to sharpen those 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.919 things and expand what this offense can be when things 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.720 get tough, when the bread and butter gets taken away 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.919 from press man or two man and trying to I 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.640 should say two man with with coverage shells that can 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.680 defend the run from those looks as well as take 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:43.720 away your deep passing. 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.520 What can you do beyond that? 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.919 And we have heard from players that there's some stuff 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.560 that's coming on the pike you haven't seen yet, and 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.760 that that shouldn't surprise anybody, And that should be a 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:58.000 good reason why you don't just uniformly dismiss this team 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.160 based upon a couple of training camp reports, because as 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.200 they are going to come out in September with cutting 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.720 edge innovation that no one has ever seen before, like 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.000 they have done the last couple of years. But last 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.400 year I talked about how excited I was for a 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.360 team that I felt could really win in any form 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.600 or fashion in the sixth ranked rushing offense, the top 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.280 ranked passing offense, a defense that turned the screws by 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.720 about midway through the season, a kicker that nails five 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.080 field goals in a game or a playoff clinching game, 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.560 they just had it all. And this brings me to 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.280 a point that I want to address on the pod 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.920 real quick, because I know you guys have seen it. 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.240 I know you've talked about it. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.680 I know Kyle Krabs, the great host of the Lockdown 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.880 Dolphins podcast, has been a visceray in this take on 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:46.600 his show today as I speak here, but using the 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.880 December records of this team in twenty twenty and twenty 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.200 twenty one versus McDaniel's team in twenty twenty two and 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.440 twenty twenty three, Like, what the hell are we doing? 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.279 You know, it's the same thing for all these detractors, 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:06.160 you know, goalposts being moved, like Stephen Ruiz for instance, 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.000 which my circle has a joke that we don't ever 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.240 talk about Stephen Ruiz, even if it's to dunk on him. 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:11.880 You don't bring them up because it's not worth it. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.240 And for those not in the know, you know, first think, 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.479 first of all, think you're lucky stars. But he's a 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:21.080 writer for the Ringer, and you know that changes. He 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.040 changes the way he sees the game based on his priors, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.000 like this guy is supposed to be a quarterback guru, 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.280 which is hilarious in its own right. And last year 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.480 he said the anticipation might not be a good thing 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.119 because you're guessing, like, okay, dude, tell us you've never 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.960 once played or seen a coaching clinic without telling us, 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:46.160 right and man, just to confirm your priors. It's such 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.359 a bad way to approach this whole thing. And he 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.520 had a tweet about McDaniel's win loss record, like, to me, 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.280 it's so funny how these accounts will be quiet while 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.720 two was on a player of the Month pace, which 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.080 happens every year the last two years. You know, these 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.200 stretches of play where you just can't say anything negative 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.719 about the guy because he's completing seventy five percent of 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.280 his passes for nine yards attempt, and he's throwing ten 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.640 touchdowns to two picks in those runs. And then something 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.839 negative comes out or he plays poorly in a game, 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.800 and those guys just jump on Twitter to get their 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.559 takes off, right, And he compared the win loss record 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.440 of McDaniel in December to Brian Floores, which minds you 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.240 go back and look at the schedules, and the quarterbacks 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:23.880 those teams played. And you can see the easy answer 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.320 right there for yourself. But my biggest thing here, like, 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.400 if you are paid to cover this game and you're 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.440 willing to boil everything down to a single number, if 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.839 that's all it took to analyze football, every single person 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.480 listening to this podcast and listening to any football podcast 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.840 anywhere would then go quit their job and work in 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.200 football content because that makes it really easy. Anybody can 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.240 tell me someone's passer rating. It is such a disgrace 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.560 to the game and to this profession in general to 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.799 do that. And that's why I'm biting back today because 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.680 I just think fans deserve more than that. I think 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.240 you deserve more than passer rating ninety one point too. 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.920 He sucked like that is not at all how it works, man. 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.760 Like for instance, notice Ben Volan, where the hell does 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.480 this guy come from? By the way, doesn't he cover 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.560 the Patriots? Like he's part of that contingency? And I 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.760 thought he went away when he was, you know, grifting 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.600 back in twenty twenty two, But here he is again, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.640 just talking about the records and who's got the better results. 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.000 Just these opinions from folks that you would never trust 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.240 the ones that continue to show up when there's something 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.320 negative or could be construed as negative towards the Miami quarterback. 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:29.599 Right. 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.840 And it's just so funny because you know, I see 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.480 to a ball out at practice, come back and play 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.359 guitar with his wife and kids and just have a 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.760 great time, and everyone kind of gather around his aura 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.720 as this lovable, likable guy that is a top ten 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.560 quarterback atop five or six quarterback who everybody wants to 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.000 be around. And yet you have these miserable people on 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.240 Twitter tweeting about the guy. And I'm so glad that 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:53.880 he came out and said, like, I don't care about 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.839 the good or the bad because it doesn't matter to me. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.360 That's how you should approach this thing. And I will, 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.280 since I do operate in the space, I will gladly 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.840 go to bat for a guy that I like personally, 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.359 that I know personally that I love his game, I 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.440 always have since the Alabama days. 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.160 And I just think it's kind of sad. 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.880 It's kind of sad that you're staying up all nights 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.760 of the all hours of the night to tweet about 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.080 a guy who hasn't thought about you ever. 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:17.480 Once. 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.640 And the reason that I do get into this die 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.320 try because I was thinking about all of this on 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.440 the drive into Tampa, where you know, everybody's pointing out 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.840 the playoff record, the Oftens haven't won playoff games, therefore 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.640 it's not successful. And look, that's another thing where I 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.840 go back to, like are you providing a service to 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:39.160 your readers by providing context and listing out the reasons 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.200 why things were the way they were? Or are you 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.520 just pointing to an ultimate WNL column and being like 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.080 sports writer you know, like that's not valuable to you. 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:50.000 Guys, you can do that. 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:54.520 It's an insult to your intelligence to do that, right. 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.720 I get there's a reason why all these ESPN shows 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.640 and talking heads and just yelling into a microphone is successful. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.280 There's a faction of the world that likes that, right, 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.920 but not here, not on drive time, dude, and everyone 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.480 always points to that playoff record, the inability to play 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.280 in the cold weather, and I just keep thinking, like, 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.800 this team was fifty yards away in twenty twenty two 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.600 from beating Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on the 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.800 road with the seventh round rookie quarterback who still doesn't 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.120 really see the offense that well, who's never been more 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.840 than a third string quarterback in the NFL. So if 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.760 we get those fifty yards, if we get the proper 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.200 measurement on the third downplay, that gives us a first down, 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.520 and then go on to score on that drive, which 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.520 we probably wouldn't have because that that game never had 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.640 to drive over forty yards on the offense. But we 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.920 were that close to pulling off a huge double digit 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.200 point underdog upset. And if you get that win and 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.360 then you go into Kansas City the following week and 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.839 get proper wax, which they would have, right, there's no 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:52.560 way they would have pulled off a miracle twice there 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.559 with the current quarterback situation. Would that have changed how 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.680 you felt about where this team is today? Would that 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.240 have changed anything for you? To win a game without Tua? 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:05.079 Does that change anything? You would have said that was 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:06.959 two years ago and it was like a fluke, right, 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.240 I guarantee that'd be the take. I'm just curious because 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:13.040 we put way too much into these small sample sizes 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.280 in a game that is often dictated by the flip 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.520 of a coin, and there's only sixteen of them, seventeen 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:18.440 of them every single year. 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:19.240 It's not. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.000 I mean, seventeen games in baseball is like a drop 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.600 in the bucket. We see these reactions to you know, 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:26.719 Austin Booker on Hard Knocks, Oh, that he had a 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.120 sack In practice, the Bears made the right choice trading 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.680 up for him, really, really, because we've seen guys have 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.760 dominant rookie years and never come back again. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:36.760 So I just really despise. 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:42.400 I loathe this short timeline expansion of that's who the 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.200 player is, that's who this team is. 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:45.640 And look, I get it. 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.240 I get that the narrative is yours to change, and 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:54.480 I just think it's disingenuous to do that in this position. 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:55.640 I get it when fans do it. 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.600 I get it when you guys are upset on social media, 0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.559 and I probably get a little sensitive when you say 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:03.040 that stuff I believe otherwise, and maybe I clap back 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.120 sometimes and I shouldn't. And I get that you have 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.600 the emotions that you are entitled to. I'm that fan 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.160 a lot of the times as well. I do a 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.160 better job nowadays of staying off Twitter when those case 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.240 those cases arrive. But if you cover this game, I 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:16.840 think you owe it to the fans to provide the 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.679 why and the context of things like if you go 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.240 if you guys are from there with locked On podcast network, 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.920 you probably are because that's where I came from. And 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.439 Kyle Krabs does a great job there. The Lockdown Titans 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.559 guy did a film segment breakdown and he didn't know 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:29.040 what he was doing. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:29.800 It's very clear he. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.800 Didn't know what he was doing, and Luke McCown got 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:36.080 on him and Kurt Warner got on him, like, your 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:40.199 job is to convey context and provide analysis for fans 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.800 that want more, to want to understand more about this game. 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.040 That's how I view my job. That's how the Dolphins 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.960 view my job. And I just think it's a mega, 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:53.120 mega disservice to use your own personal agendas and peel 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.560 things back to their very basic core numbers to just 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.280 say wins, losses, passer rating. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:58.400 That's it. That's all. 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.680 Okay, rant over And I'm really excited right now because 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.280 you know, I also think I'm a little bit ready 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.480 to move to September and that's where this excitement comes from. 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.280 But I think it's going to have you know, this 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.240 camp is going to have this nice tangible impact on 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.640 the season. And I also kind of feel like it's 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.600 kind of unfinished business from last year. And as coach 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.800 always says again to the point about narratives, you're the 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.400 one that's in control of what your narrative will be 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.520 going forward. And unfortunately, the narrative, no matter how good 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.760 this team might be up into Thanksgiving, you know, if 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.200 they're nine and two going into that Packer game, the 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:36.800 only thing that people are going to talk about is 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.560 not the nine and two. They're going to talk about 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.360 how do they perform in Lambeau on Thanksgiving, in Cleveland 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.760 in week seventeen and at the Jets in Week eight. 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.320 Team the cold weather road games will always be the 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.000 thing that the detractors point back to. If this team 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:50.800 is sitting once again at nine and two or nine 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.600 and three, whatever it might be, none of it will 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.920 matter in the detractor's eyes. So I am ready for 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.200 the opportunity for this team to prove that wrong. As 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.120 they say, our narratives until they are not. And it'll 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.920 only take one to put some cold water on that. 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.520 Much like Steve Young and the Monkey Off the back 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.040 game and Peyton Manning and finally beating Belichick in the playoffs, 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.520 and Drew Brees and finally getting his big victory. It 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.600 happened to every single quarterback that ever play this game, 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.960 and it's the great ones that ultimately ultimately overcome that. 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.720 And I think our quarterback in this team are in 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.280 that category and can become that who get that ring. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.920 And move us on to the next facet of all this. 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:27.840 Let's go ahead and. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.280 Start the show today here as we already deep into 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.200 it ranting and raving with sound from coach regarding a 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.600 common theme on the show and in the media circles 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.960 among the players, the third year in the system and 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.679 the comfort that creates. I was such a fan of 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.200 that answer from Frank Smith earlier this week that I 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.560 wanted to follow up with Coach McDaniel on the way 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.920 the third year in the offense streamlines communication and really 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.680 what I was getting at is can we get in 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.400 and out of the play the huddle a little bit 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.000 faster than we have in the past. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:59.800 Absolutely, you know, reps are key, specially deliberate reps and 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.400 where you know, I think there's a lot of things 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:09.440 that our benefits of being able to have a streamline 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.839 communication and just you. 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:15.000 Know, exped expedited. 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:20.240 Uh coaching process to the players, because the one thing 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.680 is not only to do all your position coaches understand 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:28.520 the expectations, but the players do as well. So you 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.319 get a new guy on the team, a new guy 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.079 in your position group. And the fastest way for people 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:38.200 to learn how to do something is to watch a 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.600 teammate do it correctly. 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.160 So the more the more. 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.000 Elite technique that we are able to put on tape, 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:54.319 the faster the whole the process goes for all new players. 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.000 And you know, I think that that's what you're looking 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:02.000 for your three is You kind of expect that, but 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:03.360 players have to earn that. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.400 Or work towards that, and I think they really. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:10.319 Have leaned into it, found new ways to get better 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:16.359 while sharpening their acts for the stuff that they're good at. 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.120 And earlier I used that term cold water. And that's 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.680 how this practice on Wednesday began, at least with the 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.920 team period, as Tua tried to shoot one up the 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.240 sideline to Braxon Barrios, but Zion McCollum stepped in front 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.160 of it and picked it off. Really nice tracking on 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.160 the ball there, and they must have just gotten to 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.840 it their rotation because from that point he was locked in. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.520 And I want to play this sound for you because 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.320 this from Braxon Barrios tells you about that play, and 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.400 they would later come back to that play for Braxton 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.960 for a big gain. This this is what training camp 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:46.760 was all about, and this is why you should be 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.640 excited about your twenty twenty four Miami Dolphins. 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.040 No, absolutely double down on that. I mean even today 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.720 there was something I came back from a route and 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.720 immediately we were talking and you know, I'm not saying 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.760 that that's foreign or that's rare, but you know, when 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.360 it's in practice, you know a lot of times that 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:03.800 didn't happen because you know, you move on to the 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:05.640 next play, but you know comes up and we have 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.600 that communication right there on the sideline and the next 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.240 time we get it. So I think the communication and 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.120 the vocalness of him has been has been a huge step. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.280 And he came back with two explosive plays really almost immediately, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.160 and one of them was a shot to Braxen Barrios, 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.600 who had a hell of a day on pretty much 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.680 the exact same play, and then also one to Devon 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.160 Chen who did the type of stuff today that made 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.240 him an eight yards per carry running back last year. 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.640 The throat to Braxen, though, was this gorgeous throw that 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.920 I've seen too a make. I've lost count of how 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:36.920 many times he's made this throw where there's a like 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.440 a deep over like twenty five thirty yards down the field. 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.200 Defender tries to undercut it. Maybe they're not giving his 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.120 arm enough love or enough respect, and they try to 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.040 undercut this throw and it goes right over the top 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.400 of them into the bucket. A nice little layer on 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.720 that throw that goes for about thirty yards. He also 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.920 had a long touchdown pass it on eighth Chan up 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.160 the sideline as well, and there was a defender in 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.760 coverage right on his hip, which McCallum can run. It's 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.320 the same guys, guys looks like a playmaker out there. 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.120 And this one has me fired up because I thought 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.240 that we just barely missed, like several times last year 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.400 to a Chan, Like there was a ninety plus yard 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.080 touchdown in the Titans game that I think would have 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.320 tilted that thing before all the chaos happened at the 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.600 end of the game. If we were just one yard closer, 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.760 or if a Chan had maybe taken one more stride 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.120 before laying out, being a little bit more in sync. 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.600 But to see Tua hit a chan in stride on 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.320 a vertical route, that's gotta be a scary thought for 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.800 opposing defenses. Man, let's go ahead and throw it to 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.560 coach McDaniel, who talked about the things that he has 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.000 seen to improve in his game, and the question was 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.240 framed there was four things to a totus back at 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.840 the Pro Bowler around that time that he wanted to 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.960 work on. Wouldn't divulge Coach was asked to divulge. He 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.280 wouldn't do that, but he did provide an update on 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:44.960 those improvements. 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:46.560 For to a tongue bilevel, let's. 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.800 Just say my confidence. 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:55.880 And my previous proclamation of him being as coachable as 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.920 any any player I've ever been around, and like if 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.000 freakish learner. 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.200 So absolutely. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:09.720 You know we were connected from our exit interview right 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.840 after the season, you know, where we first began the 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.920 conversations of what those things could look like, and him 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.240 being the competitor that he is, he wasted no time 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:28.600 to attack those You know, I'm I won't divulge exactly 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.919 what they are, but I think you know, visibly you 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.200 could see one of them the first time. 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:40.280 You guys saw him. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:43.560 And there was It wasn't like okay, you started to 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:48.560 notice that because he was getting to that point of emphasis. No, 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:54.600 he wasted no time to to do what you'd hope 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.960 which is, Hey, bottom line is, I want to get better. 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.720 I'm not happy with the results, so I'm going to 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.320 work to change them. And I think that's been the 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:10.360 whole mindset of the team. And you know, you're led 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.000 by the quarterback, so it's very important that he is 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:19.399 that way for himself for his production, but along the 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:25.840 same lines to lead by example for the what players 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.080 and coaches and the whole organization need to do for 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:30.560 us to get what we want. 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.600 Let's go ahead and put a pen in the show 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.040 right there. Take our first break late into the show, 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.040 and come back and hear more about Tua's improvement. The 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.800 receivers will break down the entire practice. That's all next 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.639 Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:49.000 by automation. Let's pick it back up here in segment 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.120 number two with some more sound from Jalen Walla, who 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.760 was asked, how would you assess Tua's game at this stage? 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:56.520 Here's the star. 0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.160 Receiver, man, Yeah, see it, man? Day in and day out. 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.879 He's just making tremendous plays, playing with a lot of 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.439 confidence leading our guys, and man, I'm excited for him. 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.800 I excited for the year, excited for the team, and 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:11.520 he's gonna contribute to the team. 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.159
