What is up, 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:19.840 Dolphans And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part of 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:25.320 the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.240 How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:32.159 and as always I am here to bring you your 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.120 daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. And on today's show 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.360 from the Windy City, we're covering the day that was 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:43.120 in Chicago at Hollis Hall as the Dolphins matched up 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.520 with the Chicago Bears for a spirited joint practice. Will 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:50.400 cover the top performers, position by position, details a new 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.800 type of matchup of the day. We'll talk about the 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.800 Dolphins defensive dominance, answer some of your questions, and send 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.959 out a massive thank you to the greatest fan base 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.240 in all of sports. All of that and more on 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:10.120 this edition of the Drive Time Podcast. Where else could 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:14.399 we start besides the hashtag that was trending on Dolphins 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.240 Twitter Wednesday morning? The practice started off on Wednesday as 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.200 an open to the public session, which means live tweeting 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.440 is permitted, and we were out there for all of 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.800 fifteen minutes before the lightning alarm went off on the 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:31.440 practice field, and they had to clear out the field, players, fans, media, everybody, 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.039 and so it was off to the indoor facility where 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.800 the media stuff is all set up, so the field 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.840 is not immediately available for use. And once it became 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.000 clear the bad weather would last for a little while, 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.760 a little over an hour, a bunch of staffers from 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.040 both clubs worked at a rapid impressive pace to clear 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.440 things up, and the Bears got half the field and 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.480 we got the rest of the field, and there was 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.880 a little bit of eleven on eleven in this period, 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.200 and then it was right back outside. But the change 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.880 meant the practice was now close, so no live tweeting. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.600 So with my laptop of my phone, I'm taking all 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.760 the notes i can. I got down as much as 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.359 I could to bring you guys a great show here 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.080 on the podcast in lieu of the live tweeting that 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:13.799 I know you all love so much, but I'm glad 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.960 to have you here with me. On drag time at 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.720 the final special teams period, I take a little bit 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.440 of a break and checked Twitter to see all these 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:26.000 photo shops. Someone found some horrible art video projects still 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.040 up on YouTube that I did in college a few 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.280 years ago. And use that to talk about this hashtag. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.120 And on top of that, the free wingfield hashtag was 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.160 trending to the point that when I typed in the 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.760 hashtag and free wingfield and Twitter, the only other topic 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.799 ahead of it, or just free rather, the only other 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.880 topic ahead of that was hashtag free Brittany. Just remarkable. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.400 You guys sure know how to make a guy feel special, 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.440 And I just want to say what an honor and 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.760 privilege it is to be counted on by so many 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.840 to get the word out and talk about this team 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.919 and share my excitement for what Chris Greer, Brian flo 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.080 Reas and everybody involved. I mean, it's hundreds and hundreds 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.200 of people what they're involved here and putting together with 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.919 the Miami Dolphins. The only thing that makes it better 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.799 is what you guys did. So thank you truly from 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.520 the bottom of my heart. And stay hilarious because some 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.680 of the stuff that you guys had sent to me 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.880 or just put on Twitter in general had me laughing 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.080 out loud at the top of the bleachers like a 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.640 total psychopath. So keep that energy coming on Thursday at 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.960 Thursday's practice to finish set in the scene here kind 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.359 of a cool spot out in the forest in Illinois. 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.000 Out here, they've got four practice fields at Hollis Hall 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.600 and we're on three and four, which is a bit 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.360 of a walk away from the actual facility located back 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.080 on the back part of the property. And right behind that, 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.600 right behind the field is a very foresty area with 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.640 an open field beyond the trees, and there's a railroad 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.760 system back in there too. And I mentioned this on Twitter. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.520 I'm just a sucker for, you know, intimate type of 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.000 romantic settings, and I found this to be one of those. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.400 It was. It was a really cool looking spot, really 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.760 cool looking practice field, a deaf and it change from 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.480 South Florida. And on top of that, there was a 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.640 bit of a chill in the air ahead of the storm, 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.880 which was a very very nice break to get away 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.640 from the oven that is South Florida in August. And 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.320 I'm sure the players appreciated that a little bit too. 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.600 But man, it speaks to the challenge of playing somewhere 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.480 up north all summer for training camp in preseason, before 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.600 coming down to South Florida for a game in September October, 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.240 and quite frankly, the entire calendar, it's human up here. Too, 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.920 but nothing compares to that South Florida's sweat box. As 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.000 for the practice itself, before we went inside, and this 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.320 is funny to me because I joked with coach Lemuel 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.920 John Pierre about how they work so far from where 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.880 we sit at Baptist Health Training Center in Miami Gardens, 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:44.920 and I was dying to get an up close look 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.640 at the offensive line, and today I got that chance. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.320 I started off in the bleachers right behind the end 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.000 zone where they were working, so I got to hear 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.880 the pop of the pads and the instruction of the 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.880 coaches and just everything that went along with that unit 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.040 and with that period the practice, I want to go 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:02.640 ahead and get to the notes here and talk about 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.760 the offensive line first, because I felt like I got 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.120 a really good look at this group, not for the 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.680 first time, but the first really close up focused practice 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.040 I had on the offensive line. First. Rob Hunt's strike 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.320 and punches they're not just felt, they're heard. My God, 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.719 he is powerful. Austin Jackson too. I heard both of 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.120 those guys the most in that period. I noted that 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.400 it like the way that Liam Eichenberg works everything in tandem, 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.560 you know, step and punch time together, He's patient with 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.320 that punch, and it allows him to incorporate the lower 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.920 half and get the full force of those strikes because 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.559 of the way he's technically wired up. I just wrote 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.440 that he's technically sound, which really corroborates with what a 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.200 lot of draft knicks had on him pre draft out 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.040 of Notre Dame. Now, derv All Kiras Netto's work over 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.960 the last couple of years, I thought showed up in 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.599 this period more so than any other time that I saw. 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.679 And they were coming off the snap in into bags 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.840 held by other offensive lineman who were seeming late in 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.240 the role of defensive lineman, and the force of derv 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.960 All looked the most powerful of the group. And when 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.240 I saw his feet really perfectly under his shoulders, not 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.120 widening the base, not getting too narrow, just on balance, 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.240 I thought, Man, what a great combination for that guy. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.920 I'm so excited to watch him play in a preseason 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.560 game and get a look at how all that work 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.400 of practice, squad training, camp o t s, everything he's 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.200 done for the last three years kind of come to 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.680 fruition in an actual game day setting. I wanted to 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.760 get a good look at Michael Dieter, and I thought 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.720 you could just see the added strength and his ability 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.440 to anchor against those big bull rushes in the inside. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.039 For instance, there was a rep where he drew Dervall 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.280 as the lineman, playing that role of the defensive lineman, 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.000 and you need to understand that there was no throttle 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.839 down with Dervall, so he gave Mike everything he's got 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.200 in that particular rep. And plus on top of that, 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.200 he used to be a defensive lineman. But Mike sinks 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.080 into his pass set and absorbs the rush without giving 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.000 a whole lot of ground. That's a very valuable thing 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.719 to have right in front of your quarterback in this 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.680 particular offense with TWA and the quick passing game. And 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.840 the last note here from this period before we get 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.320 into something on the one on ones and team periods. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.560 There was a ton today as you can imagine of 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.000 team and one on one periods. But in this portion, 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.080 just watching Rob Hunt in space, he comes in controlled, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.720 doesn't sacrifice the power, and I think you see that 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.840 translate to the tape you see on Sundays. All right, 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:16.760 let's go ahead and get to the winners of the 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.960 one on one period both between the offensive line and 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.720 the defensive line, and it starts where the last portion 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.840 ended with Rob Hunt his first rep. He gave absolutely 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.480 positive ground to the pass rusher and the contact arrives 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.320 and everything just frozen time right there. He got dapped 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.800 up by his coaches after this rep, just completely stone 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.160 wall on the guy just hit the man, get out 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.360 of there because you lost the rep. And there's always 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.720 a good chance to see the reaction from both teams 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.120 in these reps, in the joint practices, like who's getting 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.560 dapped up, who's getting coached up, And in this instance 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.280 it was Dolphins one, Bears zero. But the Bears really 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.760 came back strong in that period. Man, they have some 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.400 dudes up front, a chem Hicks. That guy's a problem, 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.360 but you knew that. I thought this was a good 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.240 opportunity to see a new set of moves, you know, 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.880 from different pass rushers that can bring different things. Power 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.320 arm over guys were empering, emptying the clips, so to speak, 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.080 in that pass rush game, and I wanted to get 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.120 a good look at that rep after the rap. Remember 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.760 on the podcast last year, we always highlighted the play 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.480 before the big play, the play that made the game 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.920 changing moment. Possible because it's never just one guy or 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.120 one big play. You have to make plays to set 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:24.880 up the big play. Why I wanted to get a 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.440 look at how guys would respond after losing a rep, 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.680 and there were some good and it starts there with 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.960 Solomon Kinley, who I thought basically took this segment and 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.360 made it his own. There were back to back reps 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.680 in this period that did not go his way, but 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.800 he didn't let that ruin his day. He got some 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.200 coaching from coach Lemil John Pierre got back in there 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.960 and finished the period with two really strong reps. Then 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.880 he came into the team period and I thought had 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.200 some really good work there too, especially in the two 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.439 minute period at the end of practice when to a 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.240 completed back to back passes for nice chunk gains to 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.319 put Jason Sanders in position for the quote un quote 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.360 win at the end of that period. I really wanted 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.600 to make a note of that because to me, that's football, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.240 and that's especially practice. How do you respond when things 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.280 don't go your way Because in the sport, we know 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.319 it's never going to go your way all the time, 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.920 and the same was true of Cameron tom back to 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.040 back reps one after another. One didn't go his way, 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:19.960 and the next he just dug those spikes in the 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.040 ground through the punch and stone walled Balala Nichols who 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.360 play so low to the ground with such power and 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.319 can really get under those pads and Cameron Tom responded 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.520 big in that way. And this is not in the 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.800 same idea of responding, but just rather a lot of 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.079 good work from Austin Jackson and spoiler alert here he's 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.360 gonna be in top performers. I thought he did some 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.959 damn good things out there. One thing that really caught 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.320 my eye was the work he had against Robert Quinn. 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.920 We all know Robert Quinn quite literally one of the 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.920 best burst off the edge in the last decade. Like 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.599 it's Cameron wake esque off the edge, and against a 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.280 Russia like that, it can be easy to panic and 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.960 to overset. And when I talk about overset, it's where 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.720 you rush up for to wall off the speed rush 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.199 and that opens up a big gap between you and 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.760 in this instance the left guard and the player. The 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.560 pass rusher can then just redirect work back inside and 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.880 get that easy access to the quarterback likes it's easier 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.480 to get to the quarterback when the tackle oversets than 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.280 it is to run around the guy because it's an 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.280 obviously quicker path of the quarterback. So it's big problems 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.080 when you react to the speed rush in a way 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.520 that is overreactionary. And he just didn't do that at 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.400 all today. And it wasn't one rep or two reps, 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.080 it was actually three reps up against Robert Quinn where 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.120 he got this three straight against and he was perfectly 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.920 happy to kick slide, get into that set and work 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.440 the inside shoulder and put himself in position to either 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.920 run him around the arc around the back side of 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.320 the quarterback, which is the worst place to be in football, 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.319 or mirror when he tries to cross face, and nothing 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.680 Quinn was throwing at him in this drill was helping 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.840 him get to the quarterback. And Quinn had some success 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.480 in other parts of the day as well, so it's 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.440 not just like he was losing to everybody. Just good 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.440 work by Austin Jackson. And my last note here on Austin. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.079 I noticed a lot of times that Quinn or otherwise 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.040 they would try to draw that punch out early where 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.960 you want the offensive linemen to show the hands, because 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.439 once he pulls those hands up. That's how pass rushers 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.520 go to work, because they start to grab and pull 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.360 and grip and and do things to get you off 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.480 balance against your momentum. I'm going in the wrong direction, 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.040 and Austin just stayed patient in the air in that 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.880 area and wouldn't throw the hands. If he can showcase 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:25.520 that skill set consistently with his athletic profile, change of direction, 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.040 skill set and ability to create push off the line, man, 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.120 I'll feel damn good about that left tackle position and 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.280 finishing up here on the offensive line. I thought Jonathan 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:35.679 Hubbard had a really good day and he's had a 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.720 quietly strong camp in his own right. The same is 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.000 true of Adam Panky. He had some reps in the 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.720 one on ones and again in the team period where 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.640 I just thought he was winning and getting pushed and 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.200 doing good and pass pro. Where should we go next? 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.160 How about the quarterbacks? Everybody loves quarterbacks right Well, first, 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.800 I want to make it clear that you just cannot 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.200 take it all out there, take it all in out there. 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.719 So my apologies to read Sennetta. I did not see 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:01.679 a lot of his reps, and as you can imagine, 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.240 I mostly watched our defense when Jacobe Brisette was in 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.599 the game as well, so when I did get a 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.160 look at him, though, he made some nice throws in 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.959 the team periods, especially late in practice. Now, as for 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.200 Tua and the passing offense in general, two quick things here. 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.880 They got the ball out wide a lot, and I'm 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:20.800 not sure if it was my design or based on 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.079 what they saw by the but I counted at least 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.199 three or four times where two against the ball outside 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.640 the numbers to a man who was pretty open and 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.560 had space to run. He found Wattle twice on these, 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.800 Shaheen once and Miles Gaston another time. And we're talking 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.480 gains of twenty plus yards each time. And that part 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.480 kind of crosses over into the second part, which was 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.240 the way he worked with and mitigated pressure. And just 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.880 back to that first point real quick, like, maybe it 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.840 doesn't look pretty as far as what you know reporters 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.840 and writers want to see, but if you're gaining yards, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.960 what difference does it make? I mean that was consistent 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.200 on that play. They were finding chunks of yards in 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.080 that area. But you know, back to mitigating pressure. I 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:02.319 asked to after practice, if playing against another defense besides 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.360 your own, albeit free of live contact and live rushes 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.679 in the quarterback the red jersey, you know, everyone stops, 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.440 but if it was different since guys on the other side, 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:13.880 maybe they're a little bit hungry to get that extra 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.720 inch closer to the quarterback, and of seeing a different 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:21.800 color flash was beneficial to working through those simulated pressures 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:25.079 and just real quick. Both teams on this day did 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:26.760 a really good job of taking care of each other, 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.440 and Coach Flores talked about the agreement between they and 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.840 the Bear staff. You know, no cut blocks, no fighting, 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.640 things of that nature. So I'm sure if both staffs 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.960 were pleased with that and the fact that I never 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.800 saw any quarterbacks on the ground. Let's go ahead and 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.920 go to two and now to break it down, I 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.000 think this defense is really good upfront, Um, you know 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.040 there when you're hitting your back foot on your throws, 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.800 you know they're they're right there. I mean, you know, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.720 kind of in your face area. Um, you know. But 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.920 that forces us to, you know, as quarterbacks, to kind 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.440 of move the way we need to um. And it 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:04.360 simulates game like um kind of pocket presents for us. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.320 And so you know, I thought it was really good today. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.640 We'll take a look at the film. Um, you know, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.000 we'll try to correct a lot of the things that 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.400 we didn't do well today, and I will come out 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.280 tomorrow and you know, hopefully it's a it's a better one. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.320 You gotta love it when you have an idea of 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.560 how you want to cover a certain event on the 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.000 practice field at a game, whatever it might be, and 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.000 your question to the player, of the coach, or whoever 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.920 it might be, and their answer coincides with how you 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.880 wanted to approach it to it did a great job. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.040 They're talking about the pocket presence and how they dealt 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.240 with that pressure. So he talked about how he thought 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.680 it was a good opportunity to work on dealing with 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.480 that stuff. And I thought that was where he really shined, 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.040 because there was a couple of instances where he stepped 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.360 up through the muck and cleared that initial rush, the 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.760 initial wave and got past it. And a lot of 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.840 a lot of good quarterbacks in today's league do that. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.160 And on one instance he had a bunch of green 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.280 grass in front of him for a nice run. And 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.840 then on three other occasions he presses the line and 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.280 fires strikes to the intermediate portions of the field for 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.800 completions like today. It wasn't sit back in the pocket 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:07.840 and scan the field and go deep like that wasn't 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.600 the game today. Today, it was get away from pressure, 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.520 throw quick, get the ball out of your hand, and 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.400 make it work with what you have. And he did 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.200 that a lot, I thought. And there was another one 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.280 where he got to the line and worked down the 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.360 line not so as to not cross over and lose 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.560 the ability to throw the football once you get past 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.800 the line and the illegal forward pass, and he completed 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.280 that one for a decent chunk too. So that's the 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.760 kind of stuff that I think you can really take 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.800 that can really take his game to another level, because 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.480 we know he can play from the pocket and win 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.720 that way. But to get off the spot and make 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.960 plays off script, man, that's gonna go a long way 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.480 for this guy for this offense. But again, that Bears 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.800 front is ferocious. I thought Khalil Mack and Jesse Davis 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.240 had some good battles during the team periods, trading some 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.520 wins back and forth. Good to see Jesse Davis hold 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.320 his own against one of the very best in the 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.600 game at times. Out there another area where two was strong. 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.840 Before we get to the rest here, and this was 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.320 in the seven on seven period. He threw some strikes 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.920 to receivers working the end line of the end zone, low, 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.080 hit in the football, high and away from danger. Later 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.680 we saw some of the manipulation with the body position, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.760 the way he can move the defense with not just 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.120 the eyes but the position of the feet and hips 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.760 to sell a player on a particular route, I'm gonna 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.200 go in this direction and then once you move off 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.840 that spot, I'm gonna throw to the vacating spot. Saw 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.880 that in spades and a seven on seven drill, and 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.800 that has really been pretty consistent for two or throughout 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.920 the course of this training camp and really going back 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.080 to his college days. We saw a bunch of it 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:29.920 last year in the rookie season as well. I think 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.200 it's going to serve him very well, the ability to 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.160 move guys off of a spot with not just the 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.720 eyes but the body position as well. So some high 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.000 level stuff there from your second year quarterback. And one 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:42.720 play I think too it would like to have back. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.000 He gets away from pressure and as he goes to throw, 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:46.880 the ball slipped out of his hand and the bears 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.040 fallen and he looked upset by it. But I thought, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.920 but he would bounce back. I should say, very next 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.720 play rips one across the field to Jalen Waddle to 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.400 really show off the arm strength and the zip, and man, 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.600 he was humming that thing across the field today. I 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.640 thought particular play was a really good example of two 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.240 of his arm strength and what he offers in that department. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.399 So that, paired with the bounce off the top of 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.359 the spot of the drop like he mentioned, and the 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.400 drive on the passes are two things that I think 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.199 have really stood out to me so far in this 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.040 training camp for two A tongue by loa. Oh you 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:18.920 know what, we didn't do housekeeping. Let's knock this out 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.720 real quick. Jalen Phillips is back on the practice field. 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.679 Davante Parker, Albert Wilson, and Will Fuller are here but 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.479 will not practice this week, and coach says tight end 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.320 hunter long remains day today. The only real other thing 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.600 to mention here is that coach said guys will play 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.159 on Saturday. He did specify who that is, but he 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.879 said they'll have an idea on game day. Had to 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.520 have not finalized yet how much each guy will play, 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.679 but he did clarify your quarterback to a tongue by 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.200 Lola will in fact play in the game on Saturday 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.040 at one o'clock NFL Network. Okay, back to it. The 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.200 receiver's Jalen Waddle continues to make tough catch after tough 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.560 catch after tough catch, and that's something that Josh Grizzar, 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.280 Dolphins receivers coach touched on in his media earlier this week, 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:02.280 how he thinks the speed of Wattle, while readily apparent 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.520 and very much in the mind of defenders that go 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:08.200 up against him college pro or otherwise, Yes, that speed 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.080 is definitely there, But the fact that he's a nuanced 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:15.240 route runner that's I think very overlooked. He really knows 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.959 how to play leverage, how to chase blind spots, and 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.520 what that means is wherever the cornerback's eyes can't be 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.919 on his own back, if you can get in that spot, 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.200 you can control the rep control the route. I've seen 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.280
