Stay with me on that one. We'll also 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.319 take a look at the free agents pending as soon 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.080 as the game ends on Sunday, provided as the last 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.479 game of the year from the Baptist Health Studios inside 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:53.920 the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.240 This is the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.000 Welcome into the Baptist Hell Studios for another edition of 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.040 Dolphins HQ Extra as we're breaking down the snaries with 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.360 Dolphins to find their way into the playoffs for a 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.280 third consecutive year, what has to happen. Dolphins beat the Jets. 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.920 On Sunday, the Chiefs beat the Broncos, and that's all 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.160 it takes to get a nineteenth week for the Miami 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.880 Dolphins and to help us sort all of this out. 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.640 He joins us on the Draft Time podcast each week 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.039 during the NFL season, and now he's here with us 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.600 on Dolphins HQ Extra Kyle Crabs Kyle, it's a big 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.800 week in the households of those with little ones. Were 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:31.400 you like the Miami Dolphins this week? 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:31.679 Kyle? 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.440 Did you go want to know over the holiday weekend? 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.600 My kids definitely went want to know over the weekend 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:43.399 for sure. The holidays stretch amidst football season is is 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.840 zero to one for sleep, but lots of fun experiences. 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.400 We did Disney on Ice on Friday as an extension 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.360 of the holidays, so we get the whole work up 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:54.880 this past week and it was great. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:55.920 The kids had a great thought. 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.360 We are Disney on Ice regulars down here at the 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.120 Emerald Bank Arena where the Florida Panthers play. We go 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.840 there quite often for those for those fun little moments 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:06.920 for the kids. They dress up in the Encanto costume, 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.040 the Elsa costume, it is a great time for all 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.079 all parties involved. But thanks to that win, the Dolphins 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.480 are in position to win and get a little bit 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.600 of help to punch their ticket back to the postseason 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.440 for a third consecutive year, And no matter what happens 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.400 in Denver, a win would mark the fifth consecutive winning 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.959 season for the Miami Dolphins. Kyle, before we get into 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.840 the game, what does finishing seven and two after a 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.960 two and six start prove for this football team? Regardless 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.480 of whether enough it's or whether or not it's enough 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:34.480 to get back into the dance. 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:36.760 Yeah, I think there's a lot of pride that can 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:41.160 be found in that, and I know everybody is very 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.119 eager for this franchise to kind of take the next 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.919 step that everybody feels like they're very capable of doing. 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.040 But to be able to. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.520 Whether the storm through something like that and come out 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.640 the other side and still be able to win more 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.600 games than you've lost, I's that's not nothing. And that's 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:05.239 something that I think the Dolphins of kind of that 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.480 stretch between Coach Shula and Coach Johnson and the early 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.760 years of Dave Wonstad until kind of recent history, has 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:19.000 still been a missing piece of what the annual expectation 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.280 is for the Dolphins and for them to find a 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.639 way if they're able to finish this, come all the 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.120 way back have a winning season. I think there's a 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.000 lot of pride to be found in that, regardless of 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.920 what happens, endeavor. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.680 Something to build off going into twenty twenty five. And again, 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.000 if they do go down to eight and don't make 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.320 the playoffs. That's the record where you can look back 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.839 at several games like there's one play in multiple games 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.760 that if it just goes the other way, you probably 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.400 are dancing in January. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:42.800 Once again. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.640 Let's go ahead and get into this game though, and 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.920 we'll do it twofold here, Kyle, for Dolphins and Jets. 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.960 Let's preview it from the perspective that you will have 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.200 to a tongue Iiloa and then it will be Snoop 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.640 Huntley starting at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins. Le's go 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.240 ahead and start with Tua. What do you think of 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.920 this game? If two was back for the Dolphins against 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.000 the Jets on Sunday. 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.800 So we're doing the Mike McDaniel thing and doing two 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.480 game plans for the same game. Is that we have 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:09.920 to it's okay, uh if to of plays, I know 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.560 he was pretty Mike Big Daniel was pretty optimistic earlier 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.000 in the week about Jalen Waddle and his availability as 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.280 well and getting the whole bevy of compliments of weapons back. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:24.480 I think you would expect to see an efficient passing offense. 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.640 I think maybe that gives you a little bit more 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.200 room to have a counter punch with the run game. 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:30.680 I think when we're getting too snoop and we talk 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.120 about what the offense look like against Cleveland, they played 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.520 the line of scrimmage a little bit tighter than I 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.600 think the Dolphins have seen a lot of the season 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.680 where I think that's maybe the biggest difference will not 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:46.520 be the execution of Miami's offense, and stylistically too, with 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.760 how in rhythm he is and how quickly he sees 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.359 things obviously sets up a lot of plays to be 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.800 successful right off the jump. But I think maybe that 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.640 gives you a little bit more run to be room 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.000 to be a little bit more balanced and be able 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.080 to run the ball a little bit more effectively. Where 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.640 a team like the Browns, they got up and took 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.400 their chances with some one on ones on the outside 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.120 and Snoop was really opportunistic with those, and but it 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.599 changed structurally what you saw defensively, and I think that 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.280 kind of dictated how you had to call a game. 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.000 I thought Tyreek probably saw a lot of those coverages 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.400 and was happy to see what he got in that 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.760 game for the first time all year, getting plenty of 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:25.640 of you know, one guy to beat type of looks 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.400 where he's got outside leverage and just run an end 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.640 breaker with no safety help. He must have he must 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.279 have felt pretty free in that game getting all that 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.279 access that he got and some pretty clear defined throws 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.240 there for Snoop Puntley. So when we played the Jets 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.680 last time, I was pretty convinced they were gonna play 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.320 this press coverage and try to reroute the last scrimmage. 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.400 But they played off and Tua kind of went to 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.600 work playing the you know the short underneath game and 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.960 was very efficient in that game and had a big 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.240 fourth quarter and overtime to get us back in that game. 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.320 Do you think the Jets will play it similarly depending 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.360 on who the quarterback is, with how they do their 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:59.480 coverage this week. Uh, I wouldn't be surprised if it's 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.800 more based off off the passer, where if you get 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.440 if you get to a tongue of a looa, I 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.640 would expect maybe maybe they do take their chances with 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.680 their corner and play some more main coverage. Whereas if 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.679 you get Snoop with his ability to use his legs, 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.039 maybe you play more zone and maybe it's you know, 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.440 I think that's the interesting dynamic for the Jets to 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.800 have to decide how they want to play this game, because, 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.520 as you alluded to, when the Browns suddenly you got 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.200 you get a chance to play one on one outside 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.279 the numbers and Tyreek Hill it's not a coincidence he 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.640 goes nine for nine on targets and receptions. So I 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.440 think there's a game that the Jets are going to 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.680 have to decide how they want to play it defensively 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.920 based off of who they get and if it gives 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.080 them the best chance to win, and you get to 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.040 if the timing is not quite as crisp, if it's 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.320 Tyler Huntley versus two, it just because that's to his 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:56.120 superpower and what he does as a player, do you 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.360 play more zone and give yourself maybe a chance to 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.200 break on some more footballs This can player two if 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.320 it's too you want to disrupt the timing by playing 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.520 man and then try to get home with the pass rush. 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:06.760 Yeah. 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.320 I was so encouraged about what we saw in the 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.280 game on Sunday for multiple reasons. But like you just 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.760 talked about, it could open up the way defenses play you. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.880 And I'm curious what you learned from that game to 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.360 possibly inform you for your game plan if it is 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.720 in fact Snoop on Sunday. But also kind of a 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.480 follow up to that before I even have you answer 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.920 that question, Kyle, is what did Snoop prove to you 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.200 not just about his Week eighteen availability and production ability, 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.920 but about a long term possible solution at the backup 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:31.680 quarterback position. 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:36.920 I think it was a great declaration of himself as hey, 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.560 when I'm not learning on the fly as we go, 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.600 this is what it can look like. And it looked 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.880 much more like what I thought my expectations were for 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.480 Snoop Pumpley because I scouted him coming out of college, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.640 so I knew what kind of player he was, and 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.680 obviously he had had modest success and good success as 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.760 a backup quarterback in Baltimore. And I think it's more 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.800 of a testament to time on task and familiarity and 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.600 the depth of this offense. And I think Miami did 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.840 did do some things even when Snoop was out there 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.400 against Cleveland where getting up to the line of scrimmage a 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.840 little bit faster. It looked like they went silent count 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.840 a few times, and maybe not all of the bells 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.520 and whistles that I think we were hoping for when 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:20.880 we found out we were going to have to play 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.680 some games without two of this season. I think you 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.160 saw some of that. So I think maybe this was 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.800 as much Snoop pouring into the Dolphins as the Dolphins 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:33.640 pouring into Snoop and kind of meeting each other in 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.640 the middle. And that's what it kind of felt like 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.280 for me coming out of this performance. With how they 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:38.240 played against Cleveland. 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.400 I think it's impressive when you consider the fact that 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.080 these two quarterbacks have very different playing styles and they 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.320 were able to adjust to that here. Like you mentioned 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.160 on the fly, it wasn't back in you know, September, 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.319 he just arrived and you can't possibly know the offense 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.440 at that point. So to see him taking those two 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.280 months and you know, get value from those two months 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:56.160 down where he wasn't playing. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.240 Was really cool to see. And Kyle, we're going to 0:08:58.320 --> 0:08:59.640 do an h Q first here. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.920 We're going to preview a game that does not feature 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.320 your Miami Dolphins. If the Dolphins take care of business, 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.360 a simultaneous kickoff from the Chiefs and the Broncos would 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.440 decide Miami's Week nineteen fate first off, just man, like, 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.520 you couldn't ask for a better team to need a 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.400 win from right. The only problem is they've got the 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.599 one seed locked up, so we'll see who plays for 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.200 the chief and Chiefs and there's a lot of noise 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.160 about what their approach will be in this game, and 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.600 it doesn't sound great from a Dolphins perspective. But I 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.679 also caution the listeners because you only can elevate two 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.720 practice squad players per game. You dress forty eight guys 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.199 on game day, So it's not like they're gonna be 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.120 calling out their local ups and saying, hey, can you 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.480 get some drivers down here to play Mike linebacker for us? 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.360 These are gonna be NFL players out there playing against 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.080 the Denver Broncos. Am I crazy for thinking this is 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.199 not a slam dunk win for a Broncos team? 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.760 Off of two straight losses. No, I don't think so. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.319 I think Kansas City's gonna get a chance to get 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.920 some young guys in the Patrick Mahomes wouldn't expect to 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.000 se him, would he expect see Travis Kelsey, wouldn't expect 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:01.000 see Chris Jones. But the rest this group, Like if 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.400 you told me that the offensive line at least started 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.760 the game, I wouldn't be surprised. They can run the ball. 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.439 Carson Wentz is an experienced player. I know they've got 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.920 a young quarterback on the practice squad in Chris Olakun 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.640 who sounds like he may be in play to get 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:18.319 some playing. 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:18.680 Time as well. 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:24.000 But if you told me that Carson Wentz played well 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.960 with Andy Reid calling plays, it would not surprise me. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:32.240 And there's Denver. It's got a lot of pressure on them, 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.360 having lost the last two. They have an extensive postseason 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.640 drought of their own. And I don't think Dolphins fans 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.280 need to be reminded anything more about a win and 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:47.200 in scenario against backups than twenty twenty Week seventeen, when 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.520 the Bills put fifty six points on you and you 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.160 had to win that game to make the playoffs and 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:53.080 you got sent home. 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.640 It's possible. It happens. It happens all the time across 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.559 the league. I think twenty thirteen the Dolphins had to 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.320 win it into situation against the Jets and it wasn't 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.400 back ups. But they didn't perform in that game, either 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:04.840 in a costume at birth of the or a trip 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.360 to the playoffs with that loss in that spot as well. 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.720 But yeah, and then to your point, like the Broncos also, 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.880 you know, not for nothing, just played a game on 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.640 last Saturday where they were probably thinking three or four 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.000 times in that game, all right, we have week eighteen off. 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.160 We just won this game and it didn't go that way. 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.040 It's like a possible hangover spot, isn't it. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:28.839 Yeah, And we there's every year things you don't expect happen. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.760 Case in point, just last week with the Giants beating 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:39.560 the Colts and Drew Locke played like the best EPA 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.439 per drop back game of the last five years of 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.880 any quarterback going against the Colts with a team that 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.319 had the number one pick coming into the game, and 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:53.040 you know, knowing the coaching that Kansas City has, knowing 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.440 that Denver is a young team with a lot of 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:56.959 young players that has the pressure. 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.800 I think it's gonna be very interesting on Sunday. 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.080 I'm I can to see, hear and guaranteed that the 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.240 Broncos are gonna lose or that the Dolphins are gonna win. 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.160 But the NFL has to be just over the moon 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.520 with the drama that they're getting down the stretch because 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.320 it's exactly what they want for a Week eight team. 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.360 And part of me wonders, like, hey, k c if 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.839 the Bengals went on Saturday and you kind of montor 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.600 the Dolphins in Jets game, you might say, hey, we 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.880 could win this game and we could send the Bengals 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.760 to Buffalo to knock out the Bills, possibly in the 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:25.679 first round of the playoffs. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:26.800 You just never know what could happen. 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.240 And also Carson Wentz watching Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.719 and Gino Smith may be like, hey, I'm that next 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.600 redemption art quarterback and hopefully it starts this Sunday. That's 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.720 going to do it for Dolphins. HQ Extra with Kyle 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.040 Krabbs my guests today the host of the Lockdown Dolphins 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.679 podcast at Kyle Crabs on social and the NFL or 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.679 the NFL Draft lead for the thirty third team. We're 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.360 going to take a quick break, comeback on the other 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.160 side and talk some college for the Draft Time Podcast, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.120 which you can find Kyle there on Wednesday. That's next 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.599 Draft Time Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:59.920 by Auto Nation. All right, Kyle, we saw Penn State 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.080 Boise State last night. There are three games today. I 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.120 was hoping to just kind of pick your brain here 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.440 a little bit and be very specific about how I 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.800 do this. I want to get players from these three games, 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.720 Arizona State and Texas, Ohio State, Oregon for the Rose 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.400 Bowl Notre Dame Georgia. I know you've got your big 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.640 board working here in full in early January as it were. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:20.959 What do you think about guys on your top one 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.360 hundred board in those games that make sense for the 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.040 Miami Dolphins. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.480 Go ahead and give me some college takes here, mcdug. 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.320 Yeah, there's a lot of different routes that I could 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.560 choose to go here, including some guys that might not play, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:33.559 but we know that. 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.160 Are going to be in this draft class. 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:40.000 Where Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons is a transfer 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:44.000 from San Diego State and he was recruited as a 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.959 guard and has played tackle, and he's played on the 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.360 right side of the plane, and he's played on the 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.280 left side of the line. And if there's one thing 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.960 we know about this offensive system and in these coaches, 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.960 they love some positional versatility along the offensive line. They 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.480 love guys they could play multiple spots. And you've even 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.280 seen that with Patrick Paul who came in as a 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.080 career left tackle and got some cross training and opportunities 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:10.360 at right tackle already this season. This a very high 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:14.840 ceiling player. He is very, very good in pass protection. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.840 He is very athletic. He is coming off of a 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.760 or he's injured his ACL and missed the second half 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.000 of the season, which he ironically injured in the first 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:24.840 game against Oregon. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.760 But he's already declared for the draft. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.960 So that is if you want to go back and 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.680 watch some tape and get ready for the game or 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.800 after the game and learn more about what you see 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.760 and who flashes, find an excuse to watch some Josh 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.800 Simmons as it pertains to Ohio State. I also really 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:46.120 like tylerck Williams. Their their defensive tackle Miami with Khalais 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.680 Campbell is an expiring contract they had a lot of 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.240 young guys that were in competition for spots there for them. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.360 I think he's another player who's in my top one 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:54.760 hundred that, if he told me, is a Day two 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.800 draft selection, a really good point of attack type of defender. 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.600 I think he would make a lot of sense for Miami. 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.200 If I look over at the other side on that 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.400 game for top one hundred players, my favorite Oregon Duck 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:08.960 is Josh Connery, their left tackle. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:09.760 I think he's. 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:14.320 Another guard tackle flex type of player. Miami has some 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.040 flux on those spots with expiring contracts, and Tron Armstead 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:22.760 is obviously a long tenured VET, and Mike McDaniel alluded 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.880 to just this past week he's gonna have to go 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.000 through his process this offseason and decide what he wants 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.840 to do moving forward. But Tess Johnson, who I know, 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.360 you've texted me a few times about this dude's lighting 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:40.800 in the model, and he is very much a Mike 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:45.880 McDaniel brand player. When you consider how explosive he is 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.880 with the ball in his hands, his natural playmaking ability, 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.520 I think he's a very low hanging fruit type of player. 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:55.720 With Miami looking at potentially League Washington and Tyreek Hill 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:57.360 and jay Len Wattoll. 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.240 Those guys under contract. 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.800 Obviously, they weren't afraid some undersized players when they drafted 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.560 two smaller wide receivers in the twenty twenty four draft. 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.400 But Tes Johnson, if you get to a certain point 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.800 in the draft and he's there, I think that's a 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.440 tailor made type of fit for the Dolphins. 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:14.520 I couldn't. 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.040 I mean, like I was telling you about like maybe 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:18.640 this is the time to get similar size in the 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.280 receiver's room that I'm like, Hey, Kyle, what about Tes 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.520 Johnson one hundred and sixty pounds receiver from Oregon. I 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.160 have a type I certainly do when it comes to 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.200 that position, and I just love guys that can turn 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.440 you know, eight yard completions in the touchdowns. Tell me 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.400 about the safeties in this Notre Dame Georgia game, Kyle, 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.240 because I like both those guys very very much. I 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.160 think they might both be first round picks if it 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.360 wasn't for the position, you know, devaluation of that spot. 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.120 But tell me about the Notre Dame in Georgia safeties 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:42.960 if you can, real quick. 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.480 Yeah, So Malachi Starks can play all over the place 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.040 for Georgia. You can play in the nickel, he can 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.280 play deep half, he could play high post, he could 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.040 play the second level, and he plays man to man 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.320 coverage as well and has really good ball skills. He 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.680 could go back the season opener this year and the 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.400 season opener of his friend Bishman season. I believe he 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:06.320 has two like incredible high point acrobatic catches at the 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.200 catch point on shots down the field playing man coverage 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.240 that are really a testament to what he can do 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.640 when the ball is in the air. But as good 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.520 as his ball skills are as they do not compare 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.320 to Xavier Watts from Notre Dame, who is a former 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.000 wide receiver who converted to play safety, and he won 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.040 the Negersky for the best defender in college football in 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.320 twenty twenty three. He's got twelve interceptions in counting over 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.840 the last two seasons. He tackles, he can run well, 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.000 but he is more of the traditional free safety playing 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.920 in the deep half. So there's not a lot of 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.280 limitations with both of those guys. But as you said, 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.560 it's just a position that typically has to wait a 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.600 little bit longer to hear their names called, regardless of 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.680 the merits and I'll tell you both of those guys 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.920 for me are our top twenty players on my board 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:49.359 right now. 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:50.920 Oh I love that rank. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:52.400 And there was a play in the Indiana game where 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:54.240 Xavier Watts came down and like squeezed the edge of 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.560 the last scrimmage and made this really good tackle on 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.159 a sea gap run away from him. Like if he 0:17:58.200 --> 0:17:59.560 can do that and play in the post the way 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.280 he does, yes, Like to your point, top twenty player 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.679 all day long, host of the Lockdown Dolphins podcast and 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:08.160 Lockdown NFL Scouting podcast with fellow friend of the show 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.399 Joe Marino.
