1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,599
Speaker 1: I had an open with a comment and then we'll

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: take questions. Yeah, well they um you know, the first game,

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: UM against the Miami was obviously quite a while ago,

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: but um, you know has some relevance. Um you know,

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have played well here after the it was

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: a one in three starts, so uh they've they've done

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: a good job, you know, turn the ball over a lot,

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: um you know, done a good job offensively if um,

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, staying balanced and getting the ball to the

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: skilled players. Made a change of quarterback. Both quarterbacks have

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: played well, so um you know it's a good, good

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: team that really has thrived off a lot of defensive

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: turnovers and as always, ball security to be you know,

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: be a key for us in this game. Well, open

15
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: up with questions. We're gonna start with Henry mckinneth all

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: by having those are morning Bill, and I wanted to

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: ask you about the two rookie tight ends, um Evan,

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: and how do you think they're doing, um so far

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: this year? I know, setbacks with injuries, UM surely sort

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: of impacted that development. But as you look forward to

21
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 1: these last few games, what do you kind of hope

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: to see from them? You know, down the stretch. Yeah, well, um, well,

23
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: it's good to have them back out there. Um, you

24
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: know last week we they had a little more playing time,

25
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: but you know, unfortunately it didn't then correlate into more

26
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: practice time or quality practice time because of the schedule

27
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: we were on. So, um, you know, we'll see how

28
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: it goes here as they get more experience and reps

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: of what they're doing and um, you know, and then

30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: how that how that transfers over into the game. So

31
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: you're right, both guys miss some time there kind of

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the season after they'd gotten

33
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: started and had made some progress and then um, you know,

34
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: weren't weren't able to continue and now have you know,

35
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: resumed um full activity. So we'll hopefully we can make

36
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: progress every day. We'll just have to see how that,

37
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, how it all works out here. If I

38
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: if I may follow up, I wondered how impactful those

39
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: those injuries are, like just a trip to the i

40
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: R can be for these rookies this year, just because

41
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: you know, the off season was so short. So now

42
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: it's like you break up the middle of their regular season,

43
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: which is already Um you're you're consolidating it so I

44
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: don't know what what do you see there in terms

45
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: of how that influences rookie development, Well, I mean in

46
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: their case, so I don't I don't think it really,

47
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how much an impact they had. They

48
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: they wouldn't, you know, they weren't able to practice. They

49
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: weren't able to you know, to participate. So um, they

50
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: could rehab from the injury reserve as well as they

51
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: could rehab not from the injury reserve, and they helped

52
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: the team, I get a healthy and contributing player onto

53
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: the roster, So it's really not not a hard decision

54
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: to make. Um. Would they have gotten anymore out of

55
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: being on the roster, I mean not much, because they

56
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: weren't you know, they still they were still in the meetings,

57
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: but they weren't able to to do any productive work

58
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: UM on the practice field. So it's not really much

59
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: anybody could do about it. I mean, it's like we

60
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: made the most of what we had, UM. But yeah,

61
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: not ideal like everybody out there all the time. But

62
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: unfortunately that's not really realistic in the National Football League.

63
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: And it looks like even Bizar lowered his hands. So

64
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: we'll go to Doug Kai, followed by Tom Current. But

65
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what you've seen in Lynn Bowden

66
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: so far, how much you guys looked at him before

67
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: the draft, and how the Dolphins have been using him

68
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: so far. Uh, right, Well, he he was used, um,

69
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, just a handful of plays, um, until about

70
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: the last four weeks and then um, he's played played

71
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: more in the last four weeks and more last week.

72
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: You know, they had a cart a couple of guys

73
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: banged up in the game, so he's having more playing opportunities.

74
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Primarily lines up in the slot. They use him some

75
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: as a wildcat player, and um, you know he's been

76
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: involved in some other you know, gadget type plays, but

77
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 1: primarily plays in a slot. And then on your team,

78
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: Justin Harran has been rotating, rotating in it left tackle

79
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks, and he had rotated

80
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: in positions before. Um, why do you like getting him

81
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: on the field in those types of situations. Well, I

82
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: think he's made progress for us. Um, it deserves an

83
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to continue to play and improve. And then we've

84
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: we've been in some situations where we've um, move Mike

85
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: inside and moved your main over and and Justin played

86
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: left tackle like in the Charger game. So it's been different,

87
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, combination of different circumstances. But um, you know,

88
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: he continues to do good things and improve. It was

89
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: still got a long way to go and a lot

90
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: of learning experiences for him, but I think he's got

91
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: a chance to be able to contribute for us and

92
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, potentially develop into am you know, some type

93
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: of some type of role player for us. All right,

94
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: next question Tom Kernan, followed by Mike Greece. Hey, Bill, Um,

95
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm curious about your feelings on the decision of Brian

96
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: Flores to make the move to not really on whether

97
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: or not you agreed with it, but just quarterback is

98
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: such a scrutinized position and it's so fraught, at least

99
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: from the outside where we make a big deal of it.

100
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: Does a coach have to weigh in all those things

101
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: You've made a couple of decisions over the course of

102
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: your career that we're at that position, highly scrutinized and

103
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: obviously be very successful. But can you treat it as

104
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: you would defensive lineman outside of mind back or right tackle,

105
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: or do you have to take into consideration all those

106
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: other things from the outside to come in. Yeah, I

107
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: don't think I'm really qualified to talk about some other

108
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: team's decision. But you know, look, anytime you have a

109
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: position where only one player can play it, one quarterback,

110
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: one kicker, one left tackle, you know, it's it's a

111
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: little different than you know, rotating players through it running

112
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: back or defensive tackle or some of the other, um,

113
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, positions that you reference. So you know, you

114
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: can play three defensive ends and you know, give them

115
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: all playing time and evaluate them. Um, you know, it's

116
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: it's more difficult to do it positions where only one

117
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: player plays there, you know, rotating kickers, rotating quarterbacks, rotating punters,

118
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: that's you know, could you do it? You know, yeah,

119
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: it's that brings in some other problems you'd have to evaluate,

120
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, how you want it to, what the benefits were,

121
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: and weren't make a decision on that. So's eight situations different.

122
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any necessary really you know, handbook

123
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: on how I would do it or how anybody else

124
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: has done it. You try to do it's best for

125
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: the team based on all the things you know at

126
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: that time. When you make the decision and just one

127
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: quick follows. Conceptually, is it somewhat of a feel thing?

128
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean you have to sometimes say, Okay, well we're

129
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: going to see how this goes, even though we'll be

130
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: scrutinized and fraught with conversation everything else. I mean, whether

131
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: it was a great decision you made back in leaven

132
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: the decision decisions you had to make, it's um, you

133
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: have to kind of boldly go with what you know

134
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: and trust your instincts. I would think as head coaching,

135
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: damn the tour peoples, as far as everybody else is concerned. Yeah, well,

136
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: I think coach Floor has made his comments about it,

137
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: so sure they were truthful. And I'm just I've made

138
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: mine on it, you know, decisions I've made. You know,

139
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: I've tried to do it's best for the team. So

140
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: that's that's what will always be, all right, appreciate it

141
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: looks like the final question of me, Mike Chase, Great, Mike, Bill,

142
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: I was curious about practice today, Um, where you're planning

143
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: on being inside? Yeah we are, okay, and um and

144
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: any plans on Julian Edelman, Um, maybe to start his

145
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: clock off of IR today. Yeah, Julian, I put him

146
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: in the day to day category. UM So, when he's ready,

147
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: we'll start him. If he's not ready, then he'll keep

148
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: working and we'll wait until he's ready. And Mike Gisecki, Um,

149
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: I was looking at players in the NFL whose catches

150
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: have resulted in first downs, and he's among the league leaders.

151
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: What have you seen from Gasecki the Dolphins tight end

152
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: in terms of how he's become a pretty significant factor

153
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: in what they do. Well, He's got good receiving skills.
