Speaker 2: All that more coming up Broncos.

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: We're back at practice today here at Center A Health

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: Training Center as they continued to prepare for a Sunday's

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: matchup versus the two and O Miami Dolphins.

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: We heard from offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi.

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: Today as he discussed what he saw from this offense

15
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: versus the Commanders in week two.

16
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 3: Thank you know, obviously we started fast and then you know, turnover.

17
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 3: We're had really good feel position after the punt return,

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: and so that turnover hurt, and then just kind of

19
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: you know, flopped around for a few drives before we

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: started moving the ball again in the second second half.

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 4: So just.

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: You know, we just have to be more consistent throughout

23
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: the game.

24
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Coach and Marty also talked about the Broncos run game

25
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: and discussed how the first two games are just a

26
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: small sample size of what this offense can do.

27
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we were running the ball efficiently early,

28
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: and then you know, when you go three and out

29
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: a few times in a row, you know, you just

30
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: there's no rhythm, and so it's hard to you know,

31
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: you're planning on getting into some runs and you know

32
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: you're not converting on third down and you're punting and

33
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: you get so you just don't get the chance to

34
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: get in the rhythm and then you know, just the

35
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: way that game script went, we ended up being down

36
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: and having to throw. So I think it was just

37
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 3: I don't think it was anything played. It was just situationally.

38
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: You know, when you're when you're not getting first downs,

39
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: you just don't have a lot of plays to establish it,

40
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: and then you're down a couple of scores and you

41
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: got to get going. So I don't think it's something

42
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: that you know, certainly not something that we're trying to

43
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: do or plan to do, just the way the game

44
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: script went.

45
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: Plus defensive coordinator Advanced Joseph talked about what you saw

46
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: on film from the Broncos defense and how we addressed

47
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: some of those issues this week.

48
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 5: You know, overall, it's not all bad football, you know,

49
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 5: all as we were in our second week. It's going

50
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 5: to be some ups and downs, you know, from a

51
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 5: you know, schematic perspective. But I thought it was some

52
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 5: good stuff in boat games. You know, obviously, you know,

53
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 5: not wearing the games kind of puts a light on

54
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 5: all of it. But penalties, you know, are are are

55
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 5: huge right now. That's hurting us on defense, you know,

56
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 5: keeping drives alive, and we're playing a lot of snaps

57
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 5: because of penalties. You know, so we got to coach

58
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 5: our way out of penalties. I'll do a better job

59
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 5: of coaching the penalties and getting those things right.

60
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: You know.

61
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 5: Even even the first game against the Raiders, you know,

62
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 5: every drive that they scored, it was a penalty involved.

63
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 5: You know. Last week from the second quarter on every

64
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 5: score they had was a third down conversion on the

65
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: penalty you know, or a screen. You know, So those

66
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 5: things are correctable, you know. So I'm not worried about that.

67
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 5: There's enough good football on tape that I can see it.

68
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's week two. It's a long way

69
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 5: to go, you know, so I'm not disturbed at all.

70
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: Answers have also detailed is expectations for this defense and

71
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: knows they can be an elite unit this year.

72
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 5: I think we can be a very good defense. And

73
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: you know, you don't judge that until after the season, obviously,

74
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,559
Speaker 5: but we have good enough players to be a good defense, absolutely,

75
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 5: you know, and I expect that, guys. You know, coming here,

76
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 5: my vision was to be a dominant defense and that

77
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 5: hadn't changed. And I'm telling you on tape in the

78
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 5: first two games, you can see it happening. The penalties,

79
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: the you know, the the misfits here and there. You know,

80
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 5: I'll I'll coach better, but we should be a very

81
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: good defense, and that's the expectation. You know, it shouldn't

82
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 5: be any less than that.

83
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: And looking ahead to Sunday's matchup versus Dolphins, both Joe

84
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: Lombardi and Advance Joseph talked about the challenges the respective

85
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: units will be faced with.

86
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: You know, he's been one of the more successful defensive

87
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: coordinators over the you know, since I've been coaching in

88
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: the NFL. Very sound, very well coached. You know, they

89
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: do a really good job of keeping a roof over

90
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: the offense. It's hard to get deep on this this group.

91
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: And you know, they just do a great job of

92
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: tweaking their defense for for each offense they face, and

93
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: so figuring out, you know, which receiver they want to

94
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: take away, and you know how they're playing their their secondary.

95
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 3: You know, there's just a lot of nuances to this defense.

96
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 3: If you just watch it, you might not, you know,

97
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: pick up on it, but the more you watch it

98
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: and study it, you know, you realize that there is

99
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: just a lot of detail to what they do. And

100
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: they're very smart and adjusting their scheme you know, which

101
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: on the surface doesn't look like a lot, but they

102
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: adjust the nuances of it for each particular offense that

103
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: they're facing.

104
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: So it's a good offense.

105
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 5: And obviously it's based on a you know, on what

106
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: Kyle has done over the years in a running game

107
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 5: and he was a big part of that that coaching

108
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: staff as for as a running game. So he's doing

109
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: a great job with that offense. They have a lot

110
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 5: of speed. I mean you said it, I mean it's

111
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 5: a track team. I mean at that receiver, you've got

112
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 5: two guys who are sup for three, you got running

113
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 5: back guys who are helped for three. So it's a

114
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 5: lot of speed out there and he's using them right man,

115
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 5: I mean it's a it's a Chinese fire drill.

116
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: On tape plus specialty coordinator Benkott. We got talked about

117
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: how important complimentary football will be in Miami.

118
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 6: The coach has emphasized that, and we've got to do

119
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 6: our part, whether it's in the return game or taking

120
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 6: a ball away. You know, the target of opportunities that

121
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 6: we have, we just have to make the most of them.

122
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 6: And again like last week where we had the long

123
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 6: pun against us, we were able to return it. So yes,

124
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 6: when you play somebody that's explosive like that, those margins

125
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 6: you got to be You got to be at your

126
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 6: best on those.

127
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: Now, it's time to take a look at today's injury report.

128
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Outside linebacker Frank Clark, defensive tackle Mike Purcell, and safety

141
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,679

00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: so gearing you guys up for that as well.

147
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's a good thing, I guess for visiting fans.

148
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 7: I don't know if how much they've kept up with

149
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 7: hard Rocks stadium drama over the past year or so,

150
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 7: but the visiting side of the stadium very hot, very

151
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 7: hot in the middle of the day for these one

152
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 7: pm kickoffs, the sun is going right at you.

153

154
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 7: Just to cool off like a little bit, because it

155
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 7: can be pretty brutal over there.

156
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: Oh lord, all right, well we'll have that one to

157

158
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: have gotten off to a really hard hot start this season,

159
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: have of course won their first two games, and then

160
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: this will be their first home game of the season,

161
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: so which has been kind of the mood, the vibe

162
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: in the locker room over there this week.

163
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, to them, they're doing exactly what they

164
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 7: expected to do. They're trying not to get too high

165
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 7: on it. Mike McDaniel actually had a great comment on

166
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 7: it the other day when asked, you know how much

167
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 7: he thinks his team's paying attention to increase AFC East

168
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 7: title odds or MVP odds into a Tungueo ba Loa's case,

169
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 7: and he said, maybe last year, his first with the team,

170
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 7: he probably would have felt the need to like remind

171
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 7: those guys, hey don't buy into the hike, like slow

172
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 7: it down one game at a time. This year, he's

173
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 7: confident and comfortable that everybody in the building knows exactly

174
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 7: what's at stake right now. They know what time it is,

175
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 7: they know that there's still a lot of games left

176
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 7: in the season, a lot of football left to be played.

177
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 7: So obviously, you know, it's a better mood than on

178
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 7: two would have been if they had lost to LA

179
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 7: and New England, but you know, for by all accounts,

180
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 7: they are keeping things pretty level headed here entering week three.

181
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Well, I know, the Dolphins you know, have one of

182
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: the most explosive offenses in the league throughout the first

183
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: two weeks, and like you mentioned to a touch of Bailoa,

184
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, leads the league with.

185
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: Seven hundred and fifteen passing years.

186
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: So what do you think is just made them so

187
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: dynamic as a unit the first two weeks.

188
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 7: Oh, it helps when you've got the most dynamic playmaking

189
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 7: threat in the NFL in Tyreek Hill, who even after

190
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 7: all this time, I still don't know if there's a

191
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 7: more dangerous wide receiver in the NFL in terms of

192
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 7: just explosive potential. But another year in the same system helps.

193
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 7: This is the first time that two has been in

194
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 7: the same system in consecutive years since high school. So,

195
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 7: like having that kind of continuity is big. Not to

196
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 7: mention like there was a little bit of a chip

197
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 7: on his shoulder. I think after last year he felt

198
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 7: like he played at a high caliber and he feels,

199
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 7: you know, there's a lot of skepticism about him entering

200
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 7: the twenty twenty three season.

201
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: A lot of it had to do with his.

202
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 7: Durability and his health, but it feels like, you know,

203
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 7: he had a little bit something to prove. You can

204
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 7: hear it a little bit in his voice sometimes, you know,

205
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 7: when somebody last week asked him if he still thought

206
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 7: that people doubted his deep passing ability, he says, I

207
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 7: don't care.

208
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 4: For sixty six.

209
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 7: For sixty six, that's not something that we would have

210
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 7: heard from Tua, you know, two years ago, three years ago.

211
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 7: So you can kind of start to see the change there.

212
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 7: But overall, like it's a coaching staff, it's a locker room,

213
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 7: it's a team that has really instilled a lot of

214
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 7: confidence in him. They've thrown their support behind them. They

215
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 7: let him know that, you know, like one mistake, two,

216
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 7: mistakes three, it's not going to bury you. It's not

217
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 7: going to change how we feel about you. You are

218
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 7: our guy. And you can only say that for so long.

219
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 7: You know, before you know, somebody believes he or they don't.

220
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 7: And Tuoa us at that state right now where he

221
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 7: believes them. He's buying in they're bought into him. It's

222
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 7: just the whole the whole system of people buying into

223
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 7: each other up here, but it's an offense perfectly tailored

224
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 7: to his skill set and you're starting to see that

225
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 7: on Sundays.

226
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: I know you mentioned Tyreek Hill.

227
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: I think the matchup to watch is certainly going to

228
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: be Tyreek Hill versus Broncos cornerback passer Tan.

229
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: What are just your expectations there, Marsel.

230
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a fun matchup, you know.

231
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 7: I think there's obviously a little bit of a size

232
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 7: difference there, so it's not like you're going to see

233
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 7: a very physical, you know, shoving back and forth, jump

234
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 7: ball type matchup. That's that's not a game that I

235
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 7: think the Dolphins really want to play here. It's going

236
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 7: to test ertin. If he's going to follow time around,

237
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 7: he's going to be tired at the end of the game.

238
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 7: So thank god you guys are up there in Denver,

239
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 7: two thousand miles of you know, miles three thousand feet

240
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 7: up but five thousand. You know, it never was very

241
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 7: good at math either way. The additional you know, the

242
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 7: cardo is going to do him well because they moved

243
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 7: Tyreek all over the field if you've seen them in

244
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 7: the past two games. He's motioning left, right, k he's

245
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 7: wheeling out of the backfield. Even he said he was

246
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 7: tired at the end of the Patriots game. So it's

247
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 7: gonna be a lot of movement fors or ten if

248
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 7: he is going to follow Tyreek Hill. But he might

249
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 7: be the only, you know, big play making threat all

250
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 7: in the field for Miami right now, at least at receiver.

251
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 7: We didn't see Jalen Waddell at practice today. He's still

252
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 7: coming back from concussion protocol. We'll get the injury report

253
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 7: here actually pretty shortly and be able to know whether

254
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 7: or not he is going to uh, you know, he

255
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 7: is able to play, but I think it's gonna be

256
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a fun match up. It's gonna be

257
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 7: a fun matchup. He's really complimentary of the corner of

258
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 7: his face. Last week, Christian Gonzalez to Rick from New England.

259
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 7: He held him a little bit in terms of just

260
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 7: total yard production. You know, I think only forty catches,

261
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 7: but he did have that touchdown and ultimately that's what matters, right.

262
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned Jalen Watdall.

263
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: If he isn't able to go on Sunday, who's kind

264
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: of the next guy up there that the Broncos defense

265
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: should be on the lookout for.

266
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: So I think this would be like a fantastic trivia

267
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: question of who is the Dolphins' third leading receiver right now?

268
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 4: It's River creyk Kraft.

269
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 7: Actually it's River crek Kraft, the former forty nine er

270
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 7: Washington State product, a guy who you know, a lot

271
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 7: of people have either on the bubble or off the team,

272
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 7: considering the wide receiver additions they've made over the past

273
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 7: year or so. But he just keeps on doing the

274
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 7: little things.

275
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: You know.

276
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 7: He's a good blocker, you know, he finds the soft

277
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 7: spots on his own. He's a reliable set of hands

278
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 7: as well. Like, he just keeps doing things that get

279
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 7: him on the field. So I would imagine a bigger

280
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 7: role for him, also a bigger role for Paxson Verrios.

281
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 7: They still have Cedric Wilson, who has been the healthy

282
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 7: scratch in each of the past two games, and they

283
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 7: have Robbi Chosen or Robbie Anderson or Chosen Anderson, you know,

284
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 7: whatever you want to call him. He's clearly called himself

285
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 7: by a few names, but he's been on the practice squad.

286
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 4: He offers kind of like a.

287
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 7: Poor man's version of Jalen Waddle's skill set and that

288
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 7: speed after the catch and the ability to take the

289
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 7: top off of the defense. So they have a number

290
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 7: of ways to go, none of whom obviously are Jalen Waddle,

291
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 7: but would expect to see, you know, not a massive

292
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 7: change in philosophy, Not a huge shift in philosophy. It's

293
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 7: again something that them and every I think NFL team

294
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 7: believes in, is that next man up mentality, right, and

295
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 7: that's exactly what we're going to see on Sunday for sure.

296
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: You know, Marcel, there's a couple of fun connections here

297
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: between the Dolphins and the Broncos. I know Dolphins head

298
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: coach Mike McDaniel, he's obviously a Colorado native, you know,

299
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: used to be an intern here where he kind of

300
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: got his start, and then of course at VIC Fangio

301
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: used to be the head coach here in Bradley Chubb

302
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: will be facing his former team. I know that. Bradley

303
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: said this week that it's going to mean a lot

304
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: to him to face the Broncos again.

305
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, you know, and I appreciate Bradley's level of

306
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 7: of kind of like honesty and transparency there. He's not

307
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 7: like trying to put on a front and say like, oh,

308
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 7: I don't care. It's one game at a time. It's

309
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 7: this and that. Mc fangil said that, But I do

310
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 7: kind of believe Vic when he says it. He's not

311
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 7: really a guy at to mince words there. But you know,

312
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 7: it was cool to hear him say like, yeah, like,

313
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 7: these are guys, these are guys I call my brothers,

314
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 7: the team that drafted me where I really started.

315
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 4: My adult life. You know, it's a it's a big deal.

316
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 7: I think it would probably be a little more surreal

317
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 7: if this game was in Denver. I think it probably

318
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 7: helps that it's in his new you know, is his

319
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 7: new town, but he is. He's coming off his best

320
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 7: game in a Dolphins jersey against the Patriots. Seven pressures,

321
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 7: a sack, of forced fumble, Like that's the kind of

322
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 7: production that I think Miami expected when they gave him

323
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 7: one hundred and ten million dollar contract to trade deadline

324
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 7: last year.

325
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: But they expect. You know, Jalen Phillips, he's been practicing

326
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: this week.

327
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 7: If it was up to Jalen, he would have went

328
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 7: on on Sunday night against the Patriots. So I would

329
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 7: expect to see him again on the field and you

330
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 7: know their powers combined. I think the potential that they

331
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 7: have as a pass rushing duo, it's just it's so

332
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 7: high because both of them are just they're still so young.

333
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 7: You know, they both get after the quarterback. The sack

334
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 7: numbers might not really be there per se, but the

335
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 7: pressure numbers, the pass rush, pass rush win rate numbers,

336
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 7: it's really hard to say, like fast, it's like a

337
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 7: ton of those numbers. Those numbers are all there, basically

338
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 7: everything except for sacks.

339
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: They're right there.

340
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 7: And if you ask these guys, they'll all tell you

341
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 7: the same thing that the sacks will eventually come.

342
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: Well, of course we know Vic Fangeo's defense well here

343
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: in Denver, but where's that.

344
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: What do you think the challenge is really going to

345
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: be for Russell Wilson this week going up against them?

346
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 7: Well, the problem is this secondary has played lights out

347
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 7: even without Jalen Ramsey, Eli Apple, I think, you know,

348
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 7: struggled a little bit against the Patriots, and they didn't

349
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 7: really have a They don't have a good group of

350
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 7: receivers out there in New England to really test them,

351
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 7: but the Chargers do and Justin Herbert barely he barely

352
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 7: registered anything I think to twenty to thirty passing yards.

353
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,479
Speaker 7: They're facing Keenan Islan, Mike Williams, Quinn Johnson.

354
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: You know, the whole group of guys.

355
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 7: So I think it's a team that they don't allow

356
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 7: a lot over the top, and I think that's where

357
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 7: correct me if I'm wrong here, But that's where the

358
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 7: Broncos really thrived last season was in those big ex

359
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 7: closive players. That's where basically how the offense came from.

360
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 7: So they're going to have to rush specifically. He's going

361
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 7: to have to be able to take what that defense

362
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 7: gives him. This offensive line is going to have to

363
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 7: carve out rush lanes, running lanes for Javonte Williams and

364
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 7: sman J p.

365
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 4: Ryan. This is still susceptible run defense.

366
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 7: You know, they improved a big sunny night against New England,

367
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 7: but that two hundred and thirty you know yards on

368
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 7: the ground against LA and it's still pretty fresh in

369
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 7: people's minds here. If Denver can control the they can

370
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 7: control the clock, they can control the game, you know,

371
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 7: on the ground, then I think they have a shot

372
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 7: at keeping this from becoming a shootout. I'm not necessarily

373
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 7: sure any team in the NFL wants a shootout with

374
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 7: the Dolphins. But if they're able to control the clock

375
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 7: and like I said, control things on the ground, get

376
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 7: Javonte Williams going, Russell Wilson takes care of the ball,

377
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 7: then you know it's going to be a better game

378
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 7: than I think it looks on paper. Where if I'm

379
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 7: not mistaken, as this afternoon, Dolphins are still six and

380
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 7: a half point favorites.

381
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: It's a lot in the NFL. Yep.

382
