WEBVTT - Drive Time: August 8 Training Camp Recap 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.000 Drive Time with Travis Wingfield begins. 0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:06.880 Now, let me check your pulse if you're not far though. 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:09.920 What is up? Dolphins? 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:12.639 And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast, part of the 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:17.599 Miami Dolphins podcast network covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:18.800 How's it going everybody? 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.279 I am your host, Travis Wingfield And on today's show, 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.479 practice number ten in the books and against a different 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.800 color jersey. We'll break down the day's work against the Falcons. 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.440 Here from Miami Gardens who stood out in team the 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.040 one on ones two minute drill. Plus we'll hear from 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.840 head coach Mike McDaniel, Mike White, Jalen Twyman, Devon a Chain, 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.440 and Brandon Jones from the Baptist Health Studios inside the 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:41.879 Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.360 This sues the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:45.280 Maye Gaffie. 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.239 You may have heard the Falcons are in town and 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.159 we got to see an action packed practice session today. 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.000 Way too much going on with two fields of work, 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.840 four stations of one on ones and the ramp up 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.240 to team drills. As it is, there's gonna to be 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.680 some things that you just cannot possibly watch and you 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:03.480 have to punt on. 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:05.600 Let's go ahead and get that out of the way. 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.120 First, I watched a lot of the offense and team 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.080 and did not see a single moment of our defensive 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.760 line in the O line, D line pass rush drills. 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.960 And I'm gonna see this every time we have joint practices, 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.399 people are going to bring up conflicting camp observations. 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:27.199 Can we just acknowledge that they're not all the same? 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.720 Like tweeting about a player who's not out there and 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.319 then correcting it later on, probably not a reliable source 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:37.119 of information. So that and then also, like I saw 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.400 someone came at me for talking about the Dolphins interior 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.160 having a good one on one pass rush or pass 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.680 blocking rep against the Falcons pass rush, and I mentioned 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.400 interior because exterior was bad. And I saw that the 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.320 quote that was used against that was a stat showing 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:57.120 seven imaginary sacks on thirty one pass rush reps. Well, 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.120 batting twenty five percent in one on one drills is 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.480 not a good number for pass rushers. That drill is 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.480 tilted to the defense and the same way receivers have 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:06.560 the advantage in. 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:07.560 The one on one opportunity. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:08.880 So I just want to get that out of the way, 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.040 because you're gonna see all of that, I'm gonna see 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:11.880 a bunch of it. 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.840 It drives me crazy. But we move on. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:15.800 Let's get to the one on ones here in a moment, 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.720 including what I thought was a very good period from 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.880 our guys in those pass blocking drills on the interior 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.119 exterior not so much. I thought it was a very 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:27.160 bad showing off the right tackle position and left tackle 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:28.880 as well. Let's go ahead and start here though, first, 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.959 because the depth chart is officially out, and as you 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.560 would expect, there's a good deal of seniority in there, 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.440 and I don't think any real surprises based upon how 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.040 the roster shakes out. The only note I would give 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.120 on that that I think is worth talking about because 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.760 I mean like Nick Needham, for instance, is on their 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.640 head of cater Ko who Noah Igbinoghany and Cam Smith. 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.919 Nick Needham hasn't practiced yet, He's not going to practice 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.400 for a minute. So I get the purpose of it, 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.040 but the accuracy of it, it's not like real time. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.040 And so let's go ahead and hear from head coach 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.560 Mike McDaniel on preseason depth charts and the best quote 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:05.520 I think of camp so far. 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:06.600 Depth charts. 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:12.320 Okay, preseason depth charts, which there's nothing wrong with them 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.600 in theory, but for what we do here and you 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.240 guys hear me talk about it all the time, like 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:23.920 every day we're evaluating. Every day is important and I 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:29.760 am a principle that players decide where they're at on 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.080 the field and doing that preseason depth charts are like 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.480 my nemesis because I just make sure that they have 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.840 every player on the team. But to sit here and 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:46.760 say this person is that stuff. We are rotating guys, 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.960 giving guys, you know, I put a precedent on giving 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.640 guys the opportunity and having them decide where they stand. 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:59.320 So if someone's listed as a guard, that doesn't mean 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.200 they're not getting tackle work or vice versa. You have 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:07.400 to put something on paper in general, But like, realistically 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.840 there should be about fifteen starters on each side of 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.920 the ball because you're talking about different personnel groups. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.800 Can you do you do that? Do I just release 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:23.040 the days depth chart? You know that all those things. 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.440 It's very malleable. 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:30.279 I understand why it feels like it's annoying something. 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:34.800 It's really really not. He's listed there. 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.720 Because he does play that position, but there's like three 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:43.400 other positions that he that he's playing. Unlike years past, 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:49.000 I think in my history and definitely from last year, 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.880 we have more competition in a lot of spots. So 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.359 you might see somebody starting that's listed as in the 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.080 third team. I really don't care about it, but that 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.839 only because ar Mantra, like I can't speak out both 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.159 sides of my miles, so I just I'm just like, oh, okay, 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:15.320 there's a lot of names here. Oh there's five, there's seven. Okay, 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.400 we got them all, sweet. And that's about the end 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:18.720 of it. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.279 So with that out of the way, let's go ahead 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.680 and talk about the quarterbacks, who I described them today 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.880 as feast or famine. Some bad interceptions, including a very 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.760 uncharacteristic interception of Tua down in the team red zone work. 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.320 He was looking for Freddie Swayin on a timing shot 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.360 down around the goal line over the middle, and linebacker 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.680 Troy Anderson, who was very well known for this at 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.000 Montana and through his rookie year with the Atlanta Falcons, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.479 very athletic player, gets depth, falls into the hook zone, 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.479 reads the eyes of the quarterback into the route, and 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.559 jumps it and takes it back the other way, probably 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.680 till about midfield before I think Tua would have got 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.640 him down or at least slowed him up for everyone 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.599 else to catch up and go make a play on 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.000 the linebacker run down the field. But really good play 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.520 by Anderson, not a good throw by Tua. And that's 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.440 usually the type of rep where Tua does a good 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.360 job of moving the defender with his eyes. I can't 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.400 sit here and tell you I have analysis like that 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.479 seeing a play live one time, but in a snapshot. 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.640 First thought on that was the fourth and eight touchdown 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.240 against the Patriots to Waddle last year where he moved 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.320 the second level and dropped the ball into the vacancy. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.280 And Tua had another miss on a short throw to 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.000 Jeff Wilson that I thought was uncharacteristically off the mark 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.320 from him, just a couple of other balls that were 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.520 not necessarily like we get so spoiled by his ball 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.680 placement to watch him just time after time put the 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.120 ball on the correct shoulder, on the correct hip on 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.120 you know, outside shoulder on a deep ball inside to 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.280 the post. Like the ball placement we are so spoiled by. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.400 And when it's off like I thought it was today, 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.120 I think it stands out and so no, he was 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.599 not sailing balls all day long. He missed like four 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.880 or five throws, but for the most part he was 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.680 in command, had a few more incompleations that we're used 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.120 to seeing. Things just seemed a little bit off, like that, 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.640 there was one to waddle that was a little bit 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.520 below the bell and Jalen could not hang on as 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.640 he went to the ground. Just stuff like that. Could 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.800 have been a better throw, could have been a better catch. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.800 There was one the Tyreek on the sideline where he 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.280 got free like he was all damn day long, and 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.520 Tua was a little bit high and it forced Tyreek 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.960 to make a circus catch and tap the toes. But 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.760 I mean five throws out of a whole day of 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.080 camp where there was a lot of reps. And Skyler 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:21.360 didn't get a lot of reps today, so it was 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:25.000 mostly Tua and Mike White. But Tua had a bunch 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.400 of reps, like fifty plus, I would say, And I 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.200 thought his best throw the day was a shot to 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.800 chosen who had his best day of camp so far. 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.120 More on him in a moment. But Tu, this is 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:34.800 like Vintage two. 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.520 At this point, pumps deep to Tyreek comes back to 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.400 the middle to Chosen in the intermediate and shoots it 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.280 between three Falcons in a spot that allowed Chosen to 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.720 run through the football and into the secondary for at 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.040 least a thirty yard game not even scored the way 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.760 he was cooking. He also gave River Craycraft a very 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.440 nice yak ball run. After the catch ball, River got 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.760 free working on their best cover guy, aj Terrell, who 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.040 kind of got some of the business today from some 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.400 of these Dolphins receivers. It was interesting a lot of 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.320 Miami's passing was for chunk yards and on the far field. 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.760 The Falcons completions were largely in the quick and short game, 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.800 which kind of reminds me of like the eight Dolphins. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.280 And we're gonna talk about this here in a minute. 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.800 The Falcons want to be a run first, short passing game, 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.800 control of the clock, good defense type of team. Under 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.720 Arthur Smith. They have a good defense. I thought they 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.040 played pretty well in this practice. The running game is 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.160 pretty strong. I just will find out about Desien Ridder 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.000 here as we go along. But you might see a 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.480 similar number of like wins in terms of the Falcons 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.560 won that play. The Dolphins won that play. But I 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.960 think if you look at the total yardage game. I 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:36.120 think Miami significantly won that battle, if that makes sense, 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.599 because like our completions would go for like twenty, the 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.400 Falcons would go for like four or five. Tua dropped 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.600 some really pretty shots in the one on ones portion 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.240 of practice, including one to Chosen who was open all 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.480 day long. I thought Mike White was kind of the same, 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.720 some really good rips, some not so great ones, mainly 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.280 the two minute drill interception to end practice where he 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.160 tried to force it into a window and was picked off. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.560 And you can kind of look at that and say, well, 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.000 he's trying to get the ball down the field because 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.880 a pick and going four and out. It's the same 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.079 thing there, and it kind of is. But three picks 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.720 today was the most I think in a practice so far. 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.320 Skyler was picked off when he had chosen deep in 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.400 a one on one shot, but the ball was short 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.760 and gave aj Terrella play on it. Let's actually go 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.640 to Mike White now, who spoke to the media after 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:17.480 practice and hear his thoughts on the day. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.959 We have some good, had some bad, and I mean 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.959 that's going to be any practice. Nothing's ever as good 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:23.880 as it looks, and nothing's ever as bad as it looks, 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.040 but there'll be some good stuff to learn off of 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.360 the tape, I think from from all sides or all 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.280 groups or whatever you want to call it. So yeah, 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.000 I just got to get in there, get better from it, 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:34.480 and build on it tomorrow. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:36.480 And the reason I think you can point to the 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.600 good with the quarterbacks is because we can point to 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.560 so many skill guys that really had nice days. And 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.600 it began with Tyreek Hill. This this guy's so freaking good. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.800 He was fast, he was explosive. He put on our 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.160 show for the fans for sure, And I almost think 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.280 you got more of a charged up Tyreek today knowing 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.680 he was going up against somebody else and looking forward 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.960 to the opportunity to, like he said, with Eli Apple 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.559 coming down here to embarrass some folks. And it began 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.679 in the early one on one portion. He was just 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.280 putting guys in the spin cycle. He had this one 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.160 route where he like broke it off twice. And it 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.760 wasn't like the slow developing camp route that's not applicable 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:11.000 to regular football. 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:11.400 Like. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.440 It happened so fast and so effectively that I believe 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.000 in that route as an actual route he can run 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.480 on game days. I've never really seen it before because 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.160 I'm not gonna talk about it in death because it 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.560 goes against reporting rules. But the way he chased this 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.640 man's blind spot was just outrageous. And the way he 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.400 did it it was like teaching tape, and it put 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.200 the defensive back in a position where I think by 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:33.839 the time he got his head back around to where 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.640 he wanted to be, I don't think he knew where 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:36.160 Tyreek was. 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:37.480 And it was like that all day long. 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.720 He caught ball short, he caught balls deep, he caught 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.040 balls in the intermediate, he caught balls up off of 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:43.720 his frame where he had to go up a lot 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.200 bigger than his five foot ten frame would suggest. 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.439 Just a very, very impressive day. 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.600 The best play of all was a forty six yard 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.880 touchdown where Mike White took the took the ball, fired 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.440 it quickly, and the gear that he fired up the seam, 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.880 I should say quickly, and the gear that Tyreek hit 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.080 when the ball was in his hands. Like sorry for 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:03.800 the cheap reference here, but it reminded me of like 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.040 the takeoff at the F one the Miami Grand Prix, 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.480 Like it was catch and he was gone, Like on 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.560 a different level of track, like you know the airport 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.120 escalator where you can walk across the escalator and it 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.160 celebrates your foot speed. It looked like that he ran 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.560 past all these guys, had to make a turn around 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.839 the chicine at one point as well to angle a block, 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.920 and it kind of reminded me of the touchdown running 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.000 he had against the Bills when he was with the 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.320 Chiefs in the playoffs a couple of years ago. We're 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.800 so fortunate to have this guy man I mentioned Chosen 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.600 and been impressed by his body of work in this 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.559 day after a slow starts to camp, I thought he 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.000 got open, caught the one on one deep shot from Tua, 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.679 worked the soft spots and the zones with good timing. 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:40.400 With all the quarterbacks. 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.040 Seems to have something that clicked for him, and McDaniel's 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.320 mentioned that, and throughout the course of training camp where 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.360 this progression, the journey of things clicking, I think that 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.840 might have been today for Chosen. I hesitate to make 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.160 that commitment. We'll see what happens tomorrow if he can 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:55.640 take it into a game and take it into next 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:57.719 week into Houston. But I'm encouraged by what I saw 0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.840 today because so far not a great camp, but today 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.280 very good for chosen. You know who I really liked 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:06.000 today was Brax and Barrios. Man he I've been pumping 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.120 the a Zuokama train. Barrios is right there at this 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:09.920 point for me for that like kind of you know, 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.600 secondary role to the top two guys in the offense 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:13.719 in the running game that I think will have a 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:14.280 big role as. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.040 Well, but tough catches in traffic. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.000 I thought Mike White's best throw was a dart right 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.960 into the bulls eye on the zero in his jersey 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.400 with the defender on his back. And actually Clark Phillips 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.520 got carted off after the play, which you hate to see. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.080 Both he and Brayln Sanders got carted off. It didn't 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.679 look good, but we'll find out what happened to them 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.080 both probably tomorrow. But Braxon made the tough contest to 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.240 catch hung on and that was his game today, man 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.240 catching third down completions in tight quarters. And so I 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.960 asked Mike White after practice, what is it about Braxon 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.239 Barrios that makes him so tough in those situations? 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:44.320 Here's the Miami QB. 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.120 I think, I mean, the short area of quickness is 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.520 is so good by him, and I think he does 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.840 such a good job of making those one step cuts, 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.200 and you can you can feel his body language and 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.640 know when he when he's leaning into someone, when he's 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.280 when he's getting ready to break out. He has a 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.800 really good feel for the zone looks as well. Like 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.880 man to man, he's fast and he's crafty, so he's 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.319 gonna he's gonna beat you just off of peer speed 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:10.960 a lot of the time. But it's the zone looks 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.360 that he knows when he needs to throttle down, when 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.520 he needs to kind of lean into something, if it's 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.199 if it's an outbreaker, but it's versus cloud, he knows, 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.040 all right, I can out, I can break out, but 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.040 I don't need to break out as fast. I can 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.800 kind of throttle in that dead zone and the little 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.240 stuff like that that makes him really really fun to throw. 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.480 Tom still very convinced that Mike White and I have 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.360 a chance to be best friends in the future. I 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:32.920 love that guy. I love the way he talks football. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.760 I love the fact that he loves golf. He's a 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.400 father of two children. That's kind of my guy right now. 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.320 So after that I had to ask him because another 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:41.840 reason I like him so much is because he gives 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.480 these great detailed football answers. 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:44.480 So I had to ask. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:45.960 Him, like it seems like Braxon is the kind of 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.080 guy that would spend time in the quarterback room and 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:49.719 develop that trust with you guys. Do you kind of 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.840 get a sense of that with Braxton. Here's Mike White 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:53.120 once again on brax burials. 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:54.800 There's a lot of stress. You can just tell when 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.600 you're talking to him after a route. He understands, he thinks. 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.880 He'll even sometimes come up to us, hey this is 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.920 where I was thinking, and nine times out of ten 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.679 it's it's the right thing. So it's it's a lot. 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.120 It's a lot of fun to play with him. Luckily, 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.800 I'm going on year five watching him get. 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.720 Some off the White and Wingfield Show. Maybe a future 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.400 podcast idea, I don't know. I mentioned River cray Craft 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.400 speaking of guys I love go Koog's Death of the 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:17.760 pac twelve kills me breaks my heart. 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.560 Uh the past I mentioned from him earlier. You can 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:22.320 see it on Twitter. 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.080 I thought he had a really good day of being 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.640 detailed in his routes and showing the quarterback his numbers 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.800 and just got open. Typical River Craycraft, typical Washington State coog, 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:30.840 typical guy from the police. 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:32.760 He's not from the police, but I'm going on to 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:33.200 this point. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.120 What else, Let's go ahead and get to the backs, 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.040 tight ends, and wide receivers. Go ahead and take a 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.400 break though, before you do that. Draft Time podcast, your 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:45.560 host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation Joint 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.760 Practices Halfway Home. Let's go ahead and hear from coach McDaniel, 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.200 who addressed some of the things he's looking for this 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.760 morning ahead of the practice with Atlanta Falcons. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:59.680 Yeah, you know, there's a there's so many people can 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.160 get enamored. 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:07.520 With, like, Okay, I'm gonna replicate the starters were three for. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:13.600 Five at and that, and yes, we are assessing how 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.880 the starting players are playing. 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:22.760 But in these practices you get you get a. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:27.400 Great lens into your roster and and you're you have 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.479 a ton of really tough, tough decisions, really difficult decisions 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.880 that are that are coming a couple of weeks away. 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.760 UH And this is a great. 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:45.320 This is a great aspect of the whole uh precinct 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:50.359 process where you get, you know, a little heightened information 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.400 on who's going to be a part of your team. 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.120 We are uh, don't get it twisted. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:59.640 We have we have a uh on our journey. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:00.480 We're just citing. 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.640 Really, the players are to side on the field, what 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.320 the locker room is going to look like, and the 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.320 younger guys that maybe don't get as many opportunities and 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:15.520 team periods generally get a little bit more opportunities. And 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.960 in joint practices for that reason, the one on ones 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:26.480 are heightened because it is more monoly mono less well, 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.000 you did this yesterday, I got a plan for you today. 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:36.400 Those deciding what your roster is going to become as 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.920 a hard, hard thing that Chris and I and the 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.800 coaching staff and the personnel have to come up with. 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:45.880 And these joint practices serve as a. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.680 Very helpful tool and that along with everything else that 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:51.360 we evaluate. 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.240 And then the second part I wanted to play for 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.200 you all was him talking about things he wanted to 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.080 see cleaned up from the scrimmage. Obviously, we know the 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.440 offense was not at their best on Saturday. Here's coach 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.080 talking about the progression of what they saw on the 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.320 practice field Saturday at hard Rock Stadium and bringing it 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.960 back over here to the BPT BP tc H Baptist 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:10.600 Hell's Train Complex. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.280 Yeah, everything that you guys noticed that was bad. I'm 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:15.919 hoping that is good. 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:23.240 Because I was. I was there too. The it it is. 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.800 But but what you're bringing up is like, what did 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:34.560 I do? Is it too hot in here? Every like? 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.639 Everything that we're doing, it's it's it's kind of what 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.240 you're hitting on is a microcosm of what the NFL 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:49.000 season is is. It's about today and then tomorrow. It's 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.600 about tomorrow and what did you use from the day 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:57.880 before to make yourself the best version of the present, 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.240 So that that is an easy said than done thing 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:06.760 that we have to accomplish in the regular season. It's 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.840 as simple as like, so you beat a team by 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:11.720 twenty five points, do. 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.480 You let your foot off the gas and then get 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.280 pummeled that next week? Or do you lose the. 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:24.320 Game by twenty five points and not make the decision 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.200 that hey, we're not gonna lose again. These types of things, 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:31.840 that emotional roller coaster of taking what you've done before 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.200
