Speaker 1: You're listening to the Miami Dolphins Podcast Network. This is
Speaker 1: Drive Time with Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 2: Back to throw to a looking clips about a.
Speaker 3: Wide Dolphin touchdown Tyrick cal uncolievable, just.
Speaker 2: Blue fire for a second time. Don't know where he
Speaker 2: was going right away.
Speaker 1: I want to hit that though.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm gonna help you.
Speaker 4: Someone up on your man away Wattle to a shotgun,
Speaker 4: back to throw, looking at them.
Speaker 2: Up Myers touchdown. It's Waddle his sixth touchdown.
Speaker 3: Paradoun's this team.
Speaker 4: Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins.
Speaker 3: Now check your pulse if you're not for.
Speaker 2: What is up? Dolphins?
Speaker 4: And welcome to the Drive Time podcast, part of the
Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins podcast Network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2: How's it going? Everybody?
Speaker 4: I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
Speaker 4: Practice does the penultimate training camp episode as we break
Speaker 4: down the second from last day of Dolphins.
Speaker 2: Camp twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4: Plenty of good work to chew on, plus audio from
Speaker 4: Quarterback to a Tongue Bailoa, Bradley Chubb and cater Coo
Speaker 4: who all of that and more from the Baptist Health
Speaker 4: Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 2: This is the Draft Time podcast.
Speaker 4: Hey, it's kind of funny to me, man, Like every
Speaker 4: year training camp takes the same arc for me, and
Speaker 4: this is my fourth now covering the team, or I
Speaker 4: guess fifth because I was here for a year before I.
Speaker 2: Worked for the team.
Speaker 4: And I'm sure it's similar to how the players are
Speaker 4: probably everybody involved with the NFL absorbs camp, Like, I
Speaker 4: could not be more fired up for day one at
Speaker 4: the start of camp. Then we get a little bit
Speaker 4: of a lull about a week and a half in
Speaker 4: before those first joint practices, Then you get a bump
Speaker 4: from those, and then after a couple of preseason games,
Speaker 4: you're just ready for the dan thing to be over with. Now,
Speaker 4: that said as a great promo for the podcast. Here
Speaker 4: to kick it off, I thought today was an absolute blast.
Speaker 4: What's the old saying, do something you love, something you're
Speaker 4: passionate about, that you'll never work a day in your life.
Speaker 4: That applies to me big time. But comparatively speaking, Day
Speaker 4: seventeen does not quite have the same shine as day
Speaker 4: number one.
Speaker 2: I think we start.
Speaker 4: Today's practice at the same place we start most practices,
Speaker 4: the quarterback position, and we start where we usually start
Speaker 4: with quarterback two with Dongo Bailoa.
Speaker 2: It was funny.
Speaker 4: I watched practice with Clay Ferrero from WPLG, our local
Speaker 4: ABC affiliate down here, and I told him after the
Speaker 4: second passive practice, and this included ROA routes on air
Speaker 4: and individuals as well, I said, check back in two
Speaker 4: hours and we're gonna all rave about the practice that
Speaker 4: two I had today. And I said that because I
Speaker 4: just thought he was incredibly sharp right from the jump,
Speaker 4: the equivalent of watching him on the driving range just
Speaker 4: picking out targets with different clubs. I got seventy five
Speaker 4: yards from my lob wedge, I got one hundred yards
Speaker 4: from my gap wedge, my nine nine one hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty yards away, got that too, just dotting him up
Speaker 4: ahead of the round. And there were two throws that
Speaker 4: told me he was going to be in pristine rhythm today.
Speaker 4: He threw a ball to Eric Azuka coming back down
Speaker 4: the stem on a hitch where the ball was on
Speaker 4: the face mask, not like right when he turned around,
Speaker 4: because that's too early to me, but right when he
Speaker 4: turned around and was able to get his hands up
Speaker 4: in front of the face mask, the ball was there,
Speaker 4: and you just cannot defend that unless you're taking big gambles.
Speaker 4: And if you want to do that, we're happy to
Speaker 4: welcome it because then we have the over.
Speaker 2: The top stuff as well.
Speaker 4: Then he threw one to tight end Julian Hill running
Speaker 4: away from towards the perimeter, and Julian put his hands
Speaker 4: out right next to his frame, and the ball just
Speaker 4: kind of like remember in Madden, I haven't played Madden
Speaker 4: in a long time, but a long time ago, when
Speaker 4: you would throw the ball and the receiver would like
Speaker 4: have it kind of come near him, it would sort
Speaker 4: of vacuum into like their arms like it just the
Speaker 4: ball would move in a way that's not natural to
Speaker 4: science and gravity.
Speaker 2: That's what it looked like.
Speaker 4: The ball just wedged in there perfectly in a way
Speaker 4: that you could not have done it better if you
Speaker 4: handed it off to him. Then the play that made
Speaker 4: me say that to Clay was the one that you
Speaker 4: saw on Twitter, and actually the play prior as well.
Speaker 4: Remember that play that X made a pass break on
Speaker 4: break up on in the game in Houston. Similar look
Speaker 4: where he's kind of squatting and playing off and drives forward.
Speaker 4: But this time Tua and this is where I think
Speaker 4: he does a great job of keeping defense is honest
Speaker 4: until it's too late. Like they're indicators, He's not giving
Speaker 4: it to them until it's too late, which is the
Speaker 4: ball coming out. He rips this shot to Cedric Wilson
Speaker 4: where X fired the gun and tried to get around
Speaker 4: the receiver Cedric Wilson, but the route and the ball
Speaker 4: were indefensible. That was the first playoff team. And then
Speaker 4: he comes back with the ball to chosen that you
Speaker 4: all saw on Twitter. And you know how I always
Speaker 4: say the best thing out here is when I theorize
Speaker 4: something entirely on my own and get it confirmed.
Speaker 2: This is not quite that.
Speaker 4: But yesterday at practice OJ McDuffie solid name drop here,
Speaker 4: Fish Tank podcast with Seth Levitt. Check them out, check
Speaker 4: us out. In the postgame show on the iHeart app
Speaker 4: on WIOD on Big FM one oh five point nine,
Speaker 4: OJ was telling me he thought the practice was more
Speaker 4: game plan stuff opposed to training camp script and straining
Speaker 4: to beat your men individually just to get work on tape.
Speaker 4: There's a big different in training camp football in game
Speaker 4: plan football, massive massive difference. Right we all understand that,
Speaker 4: I hope, maybe not sure enough. We got confirmation on
Speaker 4: that from both Tua and Bradley Chubb. Today, let's go
Speaker 4: first to QB one.
Speaker 3: Well, I think our focus starts here with Jacksonville. We're
Speaker 3: treating this as if it were a game week, So
Speaker 3: just preparing the way we would on a normal day
Speaker 3: to day week, normal down in distances, third downs, red
Speaker 3: red area, you know, and we'll see what they give us.
Speaker 3: So I'm preparing as if I'm gonna play. I mean,
Speaker 3: it feels good to practice against other teams, get other looks.
Speaker 3: The preparation is a little different when you're joint practicing,
Speaker 3: but you know, when when you're able to practice on
Speaker 3: your own get looks from the scout team, I think
Speaker 3: that that definitely helps in preparation to play on the weekend.
Speaker 4: The Ones did play last year in that final preseason
Speaker 4: game against the Philadelphia Eagle, So if you want to
Speaker 4: kind of play, you know, Mystery Solver or the Hardley
Speaker 4: Boys as it were, I guess that would be your
Speaker 4: indicator that they are. But that was a day where
Speaker 4: that was the day we lost Jason Jenkins last year,
Speaker 4: so that whole entire day was kind of a blur
Speaker 4: and toil that point to a talk a little bit
Speaker 4: about Jason Jenkins impact. I'm not going to play it
Speaker 4: here because I didn't want to have to go through
Speaker 4: and cut it because it makes me cry every time.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna skip that.
Speaker 4: But let's go ahead and go ahead to Bradley Chubb
Speaker 4: right here where he talked about the idea of working
Speaker 4: for a game plan apposed to just what you go
Speaker 4: through in training camp.
Speaker 1: Yes, for sure, it's a great change of place, you know,
Speaker 1: getting a chance to kind of hone in your craft,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, kind of better yourself. I
Speaker 1: mean the last two weeks we were doing that as well,
Speaker 1: but it's against other competition and all that, so you
Speaker 1: want to you kind of sacrifice the not if I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say the fundamentals just to win, but like you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, that competitive edge comes over now.
Speaker 1: It's a good change up just to like kind of
Speaker 1: really better yourself, better everybody around you, and take it
Speaker 1: into Saturday with full steam ahead.
Speaker 4: I do want to come back to Bradley Chubb here
Speaker 4: in a moment, but first I want to get back
Speaker 4: to TU And I know I'm a broken record with this,
Speaker 4: but I only am a broken record when I'm an
Speaker 4: insistent about a point, and it's been a theme all
Speaker 4: camp long. First, this defense forces offenses to play patient.
Speaker 4: And there was an article by Kevin Clark yesterday and
Speaker 4: The Ringer about Joe Burrow exploding teams, exploding exploiting teams
Speaker 4: playing those two high and three high shells that force
Speaker 4: patients in hopes of generating offensive mistakes. Think about the
Speaker 4: Bills game last year in Miami. The Dolphins frustrated Josh
Speaker 4: Allen into a ton of mistakes. Now we didn't capitalize
Speaker 4: on all of them. Had several drop picks in that game,
Speaker 4: but that fourth down miss where Allen short hopped the
Speaker 4: ball on a relatively routine pass to the outside, that's
Speaker 4: what you're looking for. You make them run enough plays,
Speaker 4: eventually they'll melt down and have mistakes. From an operational
Speaker 4: standpoint from a quarterback, so you're making standpoint drops, short hops.
Speaker 2: It's all involved in that.
Speaker 4: Even if teams possessed the ball more than you and
Speaker 4: they move it more than you, if you don't score touchdowns,
Speaker 4: the game was always going to be close late. That's
Speaker 4: how defenses have combatted explosive offenses in what is now
Speaker 4: a very much pass heavy league, and no defense stresses
Speaker 4: this more than Vic Fangio's scheme. Historically, no system forces
Speaker 4: you to use every blade of grass more than this
Speaker 4: defense does. No defense has given Tua more issues in
Speaker 4: his young career so far than this, And we saw
Speaker 4: Brandon Staley, who runs a variation of that, give two
Speaker 4: of fits last year. The worst game I thought of
Speaker 4: Tua's twenty twenty two campaign. Because Tua loves to live
Speaker 4: within the timing and rhythm over the middle, this defense
Speaker 4: stresses taking that away. And before I say this next part,
Speaker 4: please allow me to clarify that doesn't mean that the
Speaker 4: middle of the field passing game is going to go away,
Speaker 4: not at all, not by a long shot. But if
Speaker 4: you can counter that, if you can exploit the areas
Speaker 4: that become vulnerable when you stress the middle to take
Speaker 4: it away from an offense like this one, then you
Speaker 4: become impossible to stop because now we have a counter
Speaker 4: to your counter. And then if we can develop a
Speaker 4: counter to that counter to the counter to the counter of.
Speaker 2: The counter, good luck.
Speaker 4: And with the speed this offense has, with the precision
Speaker 4: Tua has, we saw in the Texans game those two
Speaker 4: cover six beaters to durham Smythe and Brax and Barrios.
Speaker 4: Just really good quarterback play from Tua. Throwing away from
Speaker 4: the double, throwing away from the bracket, throwing away from
Speaker 4: the leverage of that inside coverage. I've been talking about
Speaker 4: it all camp, those cover six beaters, the blitz beaters,
Speaker 4: getting it into the back's hands early to exploit the
Speaker 4: vacancies of the blitz and before the shell can close downhill.
Speaker 2: That's sharp.
Speaker 4: That's where I thought Tua was super super sharp in
Speaker 4: practice today, just taking what.
Speaker 2: The defense gave him.
Speaker 4: And Raheem Mostert, Miles Gaskin, Jeff Wills and all these
Speaker 4: guys had a bunch of catches in this practice. I
Speaker 4: love the way that Tua can use finesse to get
Speaker 4: the ball to those spots. I referenced it on a
Speaker 4: podcast last week or I don't know what it was.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, gold jack, a green jacket, but about
Speaker 4: how Ryan Tannehill never had that like throttle down, arm
Speaker 4: speed to throw screen passes, to throw swings and wheel
Speaker 4: routes that require touch and finesse. Tua is such a
Speaker 4: master at that, and you're just not always going to
Speaker 4: be able to stride into every throw.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna always have a clear lanes.
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to drop the arm angle and throw
Speaker 4: soft touch passes and shovel whatever it might be. So
Speaker 4: Tua's ability to manipulate the ball flight was really on
Speaker 4: display today in this practice. I don't read the other
Speaker 4: camp reports. I bet you're gonna get a lot of
Speaker 4: people saying it was a ho hum day for the offense.
Speaker 4: But I thought it was great. And people love Justin Herbert, right,
Speaker 4: and I understand all the traits that Herbert offers. Last year,
Speaker 4: he didn't have that great of a year, but I've
Speaker 4: liked the way he accounted for quick reacting defenses, got
Speaker 4: the ball of his hands and put in Austin Eckler's hands.
Speaker 4: That's what we saw a lot from today from Tua.
Speaker 4: And Tua we know how deadly he is in the
Speaker 4: middle downfield intermediate portion in the passing game. If he
Speaker 4: really compared that with the short passing game and the
Speaker 4: quick answers to mitigate that stuff, like I said, it's
Speaker 4: going to be unstoppable. I just like how he's really
Speaker 4: really drilling the parts of the game. Last year, they
Speaker 4: gave him fits a lot of those short receptions become
Speaker 4: these ten plus yard runs because there's just so much
Speaker 4: space that you're operating against and because mainly the football
Speaker 4: is out early. I asked Tua about playing that style
Speaker 4: of offense and how important it is to balance explosive
Speaker 4: offense with law methodical drives. Here's the Miami quarterback on
Speaker 4: the balance between the two styles of offensive play.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's very encouraging to see for our offense,
Speaker 3: adversity hit quick within the first two plays, and we
Speaker 3: were able to knock that offense just continue to sustain
Speaker 3: the drive. We converted our third downs and we were
Speaker 3: able to finish those. So I thought it was really.
Speaker 4: Good and finishing up Twou's day, clean operation, no footballs,
Speaker 4: and Harm's way. He finished off that opening series I
Speaker 4: mentioned with completions to Azukama on a quick hitter, Durham
Speaker 4: smythe on that little rpo flat that we've known we've
Speaker 4: seen in this offense a few times, and then had
Speaker 4: Raheem Moster for a touchdown on third down on a
Speaker 4: little flat route as well, but heam dropped it.
Speaker 2: He's been making that catch off camp. It happened sometimes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: He also threw the first play of the entire series
Speaker 4: was the exact same play that got picked off in Houston.
Speaker 2: Again to Tyler Croft thought that was cool to see.
Speaker 4: So aside from that play, you know at the running
Speaker 4: back position from Raheem, I thought he was super nice
Speaker 4: with it today. Heavily involved in both the running pass game.
Speaker 4: He also housed a forty yard touchdown run on the
Speaker 4: last play of the day where he stuck his foot
Speaker 4: in the ground and in the process of turning up
Speaker 4: Field made a man miss and took it for six.
Speaker 4: And then Rob Hunt and Connor Williams, who really opened
Speaker 4: that lane for him key blocks at the point of attack.
Speaker 4: Rob Hunt ran downfield and Raheem slid onto the grass
Speaker 4: like a baseball slide, and Rob Hunt came down to
Speaker 4: it too. It was kind of cool to watch those
Speaker 4: guys have some fun at the end of practice. Let's
Speaker 4: go ahead and take our first break right there and
Speaker 4: come back and do more practice. Notes whilso here from
Speaker 4: Bradley Chubb and Caterkohu. All of that's next Draft Time
Speaker 4: podcast your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by I
Speaker 4: don'tation is this or is this not the very best
Speaker 4: time of year? I mean, I still contend it's October
Speaker 4: because college football, NFL football, baseball playoffs, basketball is getting underway,
Speaker 4: hockey too. Actually, my family, I think we're gonna become
Speaker 4: a Pantherush family this year because my man Goldie has
Speaker 4: the ticket hookup and Caroline's excited about going out and
Speaker 4: doing some stuff. We're actually going to Disney on Ice
Speaker 4: in a couple of weeks, and I cannot wait to
Speaker 4: take her to that. She's gonna lose her mind over
Speaker 4: in conto and elsa man. She it's Mirabell, but she calls.
Speaker 2: Her in condo. But you get the idea.
Speaker 4: But this time of year, you begin to notice the
Speaker 4: football content that we get. It seems like it's getting
Speaker 4: more and more. On top of the season coming up
Speaker 4: right around the corner, we get the Manzel doc Hard
Speaker 4: Knocks has past the halfway point. We've got swamp Kings
Speaker 4: of Florida documentary, that BS High documentary on HBO. Looking
Speaker 4: at that high school football team that wasn't the high
Speaker 4: school football team that comes out. I think tonight we
Speaker 4: made it. Man made it through the dog days of
Speaker 4: no football. It is here, It is back, and it
Speaker 4: is glorious and back to the practice notes. I thought
Speaker 4: Miles Gaskin was really sharp today, popped a big run
Speaker 4: that looked similar to the one he had in the
Speaker 4: Falcons game, where he'd made a couple of moves at
Speaker 4: that second level. He also got his fair share of
Speaker 4: passes against same with Jeff Wilson. I can't wait to
Speaker 4: watch Jeff Wilson get some run in live action because
Speaker 4: he's had so many plays where he springs that first
Speaker 4: layer her first level, and then we know about the
Speaker 4: physicality he offers the second level. Then he popped one
Speaker 4: for what I thought would be a thirty yard touchdown
Speaker 4: run at some point in practice. The running games clicking, man,
Speaker 4: these games, it's I've been talking about all Campu's not
Speaker 4: just happening in the games, it's happening out here in
Speaker 4: practice too, and against a front that does not allow
Speaker 4: running yards from running backs like the quarterbacks have gotten
Speaker 4: us but not running backs. Alec Ingold. I'm just so
Speaker 4: good to have him back, and he's a big part
Speaker 4: of that. Obviously. I say this all the time, but
Speaker 4: you just notice it with him and without him. But
Speaker 4: the stuff that he does, no one else in the
Speaker 4: roster can really do. So obviously very valuable. I thought
Speaker 4: Cedric Wilson continued to show what's been a good week.
Speaker 4: He's been really sharp with his movement and that includes releases,
Speaker 4: that includes top of the route, just looks shifty. This
Speaker 4: is a player who, you know, two years ago in
Speaker 4: Dallas was one of the top YAK players, one of
Speaker 4: the most efficient guys in terms of taking advantage of
Speaker 4: the opportunities he got. You know, it wasn't obviously an
Speaker 4: ideal year for Cedric last year, but man, he's had
Speaker 4: a really good week and that game on Saturday really
Speaker 4: kind of turned me on to what I thought was
Speaker 4: his skill set last year. Is quickly separating and making
Speaker 4: plays after the catch. I thought chosen was super sharp today.
Speaker 4: My issue there is he's been not catching these passes
Speaker 4: and traffic in the middle of the field, and man,
Speaker 4: those tips and overthrows, you can't do that with this quarterback.
Speaker 4: He's so reliant upon timing and rhythm in that part
Speaker 4: of the field. You have to catch those. He has
Speaker 4: to be able to trust you in those spots. Because
Speaker 4: he had one go through his hand in the game
Speaker 4: and then again yesterday, I think it was But anyway,
Speaker 4: the speed with chosen.
Speaker 2: Is just so evident, man like.
Speaker 4: He caught a vertical shot yesterday from the slot right
Speaker 4: up the numbers that I think is one of two
Speaker 4: of his best throws. And then he had one today
Speaker 4: where he ran the over route just running away from
Speaker 4: the defense where you can really see that speed as
Speaker 4: he opens up. Also made a gorgeous catch up the
Speaker 4: sideline from Skyler at one point in practice. I've been
Speaker 4: really appreciative of Durham's smythe in the role that he fulfills.
Speaker 4: We saw it last year. Not tons of opportunities in
Speaker 4: the passing game, but he got a few today and
Speaker 4: just doesn't drop the ball. He's catching a wall. He's
Speaker 4: really taken to the run scheme. I think, to me
Speaker 4: this has been the best he's look as a run
Speaker 4: blocker in his what is it six seven years now
Speaker 4: for Durham Smyth. I continue to be really impressed by
Speaker 4: Isaiah Winn. He stands out in the way that he
Speaker 4: gets movement in the running game, but also how he
Speaker 4: can redirect in pass pro I talked about it in
Speaker 4: the film review. Saw more of that today in practice.
Speaker 4: I mentioned Connor and Rob in the previous segment. Those
Speaker 4: guys pop every single day. Thought Kendall Lamb had some
Speaker 4: really good blocks out in space on this one particular
Speaker 4: short throw from Tua like a screen where he got
Speaker 4: out wide and made a big block. So offense looks sharp.
Speaker 4: I think defense is competing obviously as well. Let's go
Speaker 4: ahead and pivot to that side of the football here
Speaker 4: and start up front. You know who's had a really
Speaker 4: good camp is Raekwon Davis and at tracks because Fangio
Speaker 4: always has this massive space eating nose tackle and Rayquan
Speaker 4: Davis is the biggest human being in an organization. I
Speaker 4: think he's added more penetration on top of the way
Speaker 4: we're accustomed to watching him, you know, plant the trigueast
Speaker 4: double teams and ride the wave down the line against
Speaker 4: zone running plays. Everything just looks a little more tuned
Speaker 4: up from him to me, the hands, the eyes, the feet,
Speaker 4: and as a result, he's getting more chances at splash
Speaker 4: plays and doing more playmaking. Zach Steeler, who left practice
Speaker 4: momentarily with what looked like a cramp, came right back
Speaker 4: in shortly after just another day at the office for him.
Speaker 4: I had him with a sack and a run stuff
Speaker 4: and a batted pass. Isn't that just fitting? Like this
Speaker 4: guy always fills up the stat sheet across the board
Speaker 4: on game days. Did it again here today in practice.
Speaker 4: Josiah Bronson made a bunch of plays in practice today.
Speaker 4: Just kept seeing ninety five coming off the pile of chirping,
Speaker 4: and he earned it by the way he was beating
Speaker 4: blocks and making plays. I thought Emmanuel Ogba had some
Speaker 4: really good work hemming the edge in the running game,
Speaker 4: aside from the couple that pops, but more against the
Speaker 4: second temo also saw him win with a quick step
Speaker 4: inside as a pass rusher. His ability to get pressure
Speaker 4: from that three technique position. Man, he might be pretty
Speaker 4: good nickel inside rusher for you. Bradley Chubb had one
Speaker 4: of the best has had one of the best camps
Speaker 4: so far.
Speaker 2: I should say.
Speaker 4: He had a sack on a spin move that was wicked.
Speaker 4: It had me like, you know that meme where the
Speaker 4: guy like does the I don't know what it's from.
Speaker 4: He either does like a it's either a rap battle
Speaker 4: or a dance battle, and everyone kind of runs away
Speaker 4: with their hands on the side of their face like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, That's what I was doing. After Bradley
Speaker 4: Chubb's spin move sack today. He just absolutely put a
Speaker 4: wicked move on Keon Smith to get a cross face
Speaker 4: for a sack. And I asked him a question today
Speaker 4: that I have long wondered and who better than Bradley
Speaker 4: Chubb to give you a well thought answer here? And
Speaker 4: it coincides with why we don't concern ourselves with practice
Speaker 4: results but rather process right. Camp has long been different
Speaker 4: strokes for different folks. Like rookies are trying to get
Speaker 4: their head above water, veterans are sometimes trying to find
Speaker 4: the new technique they want to work on to perfect
Speaker 4: and improve a weakness in their game, a quote unquote weakness.
Speaker 4: So I asked Bradley Chubb about the transition from fine
Speaker 4: tuning to honing in on game days. Here's the Dolphins
Speaker 4: outside linebacker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, man, and I've been doing it the
Speaker 1: past two days when it comes in terms of just
Speaker 1: rushes and stuff, trying different stuff out, because throughout camp
Speaker 1: I was working on what worked for me. Okay, this,
Speaker 1: I like, this is my go to, I'm gonna do this,
Speaker 1: and now it's kind of a more of a I
Speaker 1: know what my go to is are what could be
Speaker 1: my change up? If I'm third down and the team
Speaker 1: needs to play, but I'm tired, Okay, let me see
Speaker 1: if i could do this, How this works and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So it's just like I said, it's kind
Speaker 1: of a practice like these next cup of practice. Like
Speaker 1: I said, it's a good change of pace because you
Speaker 1: can work on yourself, work on you know, being a
Speaker 1: better version of you instead of just competing twenty four
Speaker 1: to seven.
Speaker 4: Additionally, I wanted to ask him how about how the
Speaker 4: defense has come along with getting guys reacting in second
Speaker 4: nature and a new to them. And since he's now
Speaker 4: been a part of two Fangio installs, both in Denver
Speaker 4: and here in Miami, what is it about Vic that
Speaker 4: makes his system take hold so quickly.
Speaker 2: I've talked to.
Speaker 4: Analysts about this. I asked coaches earlier in the week.
Speaker 4: Let's go ahead and hear from Bradley Chubb, who's now
Speaker 4: done it twice under Vic Fangio.
Speaker 1: That's a good that's a good question because I don't
Speaker 1: know what he does to make it do that, but
Speaker 1: I feel like everywhere I've been and he gets it
Speaker 1: in pretty quick, and like I think, it's just like
Speaker 1: a it's a complicated defense. In terms of scheme and
Speaker 1: how the offense is it. But for us it's kind
Speaker 1: of easy to learn, and especially like the outside linebackers,
Speaker 1: we don't have too much verbage and stuff like that
Speaker 1: that we got to go through, so it's easier for us.
Speaker 1: But I know those guys in the back end, they
Speaker 1: work together, they study together, they do all those things
Speaker 1: and to make sure they get it. So that's a
Speaker 1: good question. I'm not sure what makes it click like
Speaker 1: that so easily, but whatever it is, he got it
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 4: And of course his running mates having some kind of
Speaker 4: training camp. I had Jalen Phillips with a sack, another
Speaker 4: pressure and a run stuff. In today's practice there was
Speaker 4: a three place stretch and you know, Keon Smith has
Speaker 4: had a great camp, you know, especially with the growth
Speaker 4: he's shown from last next year. But he got a
Speaker 4: baptism by fire today against Chubb, Phillips and Van Ginkle.
Speaker 4: They all beat him on back to back to back
Speaker 4: pass rushes. Van Ginkle was everywhere today. He was a
Speaker 4: potential Orange Jersey player. If they were still doing that,
Speaker 4: I didn't see one today, so I don't think they are.
Speaker 4: But he looks to me like he's added a bit
Speaker 4: of burst in that first step and some more lean
Speaker 4: with how he dips and bends the edge.
Speaker 2: So good work from the edge group today.
Speaker 4: A lot of one verses two and two verses one
Speaker 4: and the ones obviously got the best of that matchup
Speaker 4: on both sides of the ball. All right, go ahead
Speaker 4: and take our last break right there and come back
Speaker 4: and talk some secondary That includes audio from the great
Speaker 4: care coo. Who that's next Draft Time podcast your host
Speaker 4: Travis Wingfield, brought to you by I don't know. Let's
Speaker 4: go ahead and kick off this third segment here with
Speaker 4: some sound from Caterko who he was asked today about
Speaker 4: what he's what he thinks he's made the most growth
Speaker 4: within his game from year one to year two.
Speaker 2: Here is the sophomore cornerback just being more consistent last year.
Speaker 5: I feel like I make splash plays and then kind
Speaker 5: of have down plays too, So just be staying more
Speaker 5: consistently and not laying like the backplay like the next play.
Speaker 4: And I really do think that cater can oh yeah, yes,
Speaker 4: three run ninth inning for the Mariners to take the
Speaker 4: lead on the Chicago White Sox looking for their ninth
Speaker 4: consecutive win. Just one game back in the Al West,
Speaker 4: just happens. I'm recording the podcast. I think that cater
Speaker 4: can do anything you ask of him. True versatility. We
Speaker 4: saw a bit of that today, but the one theme
Speaker 4: you always see with him is he's tight and coverage.
Speaker 4: I'm still annoyed that CJ. Stroud was perfect on that
Speaker 4: ball against him and coverage on the over route, because
Speaker 4: I thought he defended that as well as you possibly could.
Speaker 4: Today in practice, I saw him match and carry tight
Speaker 4: ends twice, which covering tight ends is the more you
Speaker 4: can do right. One was Elijah Higgins as the three,
Speaker 4: which is the most inside route to the passing strength,
Speaker 4: and the other was Tanner Connor up the sideline to
Speaker 4: the boundary with the pass breakup. He does a little
Speaker 4: bit of everything. He also talked about how he can
Speaker 4: drill the consistency he's looking for in his game by
Speaker 4: being more routine based.
Speaker 5: Really just like build into a routine like last year.
Speaker 5: I feel like it's a problem for most rookies. You
Speaker 5: come and you it's like hard to find the things
Speaker 5: that you do on the day to day basically gets
Speaker 5: yourself ready for practice or games or watching film and
Speaker 5: stuff like that. So just building a better routine. It
Speaker 5: just keeps on tracks or to make everything kind of
Speaker 5: like settle you down and just play football.
Speaker 4: He also mentioned Xavier and Howard as a guy that
Speaker 4: has kind of been the blueprint for how to be
Speaker 4: a pro and how to approach the game.
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and go to that audio real quick.
Speaker 5: He just plays the ball like grace ball production. That's
Speaker 5: the biggest thing I think for mix. Yeah, and he's just.
Speaker 3: Like playing corner.
Speaker 5: I feel like you have to have like a short
Speaker 5: term memory he has like he he got that down
Speaker 5: to a pet like he's real good at not letting
Speaker 5: anything like getting too high, getting too low.
Speaker 4: Speaking of x Man, he had himself a pick six
Speaker 4: to a vintage x REP where he drove out of
Speaker 4: the back pedal, stepped right in front of the football
Speaker 4: from Mike White and took it back the other way.
Speaker 4: He has quietly had a very very good camp. Cam
Speaker 4: Smith has not been quiet about it. He's had a
Speaker 4: tounch of what a bunch of tounch of a bunch
Speaker 4: of ball production. And he's back getting work and he
Speaker 4: looks like he picked up Rory left off. He came
Speaker 4: downhill on an outside run and low zone where he
Speaker 4: was in perfect shape for a stick on a run
Speaker 4: stuff TfL Really, I mean, you can't tag, it's just
Speaker 4: a tag off or not physically making the play. But
Speaker 4: I've seen him make that play a few times. He
Speaker 4: was also in coverage twice on incomplations from Skylar Thompson
Speaker 4: where I saw him drop flip the hips, open up
Speaker 4: and run then work back down the stem just moves
Speaker 4: about the field so seamlessly. Veron McKinley had a terrific
Speaker 4: pass breakup working on a deep over route from Tua
Speaker 4: tis Hedrick Wilson.
Speaker 2: Tua cut it loose.
Speaker 4: I was like, that's a big play coming right here,
Speaker 4: but McKinley got depth and got on his horse to
Speaker 4: find his way into that zone to take away the
Speaker 4: throw and get the pass break up.
Speaker 2: And then finally Javon Holland.
Speaker 4: He's kind of like X in the way that there's
Speaker 4: not a lot of like splash plays that happen. Obviously
Speaker 4: today for X, he did have that, but he just
Speaker 4: continues to be the patrol man in the back end
Speaker 4: that thwarts any and all deep threats. You so often
Speaker 4: see him just run off a guy who looks like
Speaker 4: he's gonna have a vertical shot down the field and
Speaker 4: just runs it off and helps and takes it away.
Speaker 4: Even if the receiver has a good release and beats
Speaker 4: the cornerback, Javon's usually there to clean up on the
Speaker 4: back end. And it's so very impressive to watch.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go ahead and get out of here.
Speaker 2: That's the podcast.
Speaker 4: We'll be back tomorrow for the last day of training
Speaker 4: camp coverage, have a podcast for you guys on a
