They get it. 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.960 What is up, Dolphans And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.920 part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:28.200 your Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your host, 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.760 Travis Wingfield And on today's show, we are back at it. 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.760 It's the final week of training camp and our last 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:38.479 practice before the Eagles arrived from up north. We'll hear 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.639 from head coach Mike McDaniel, cover the practice notes from 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.760 a rainy Miami gardens, and we'll finish up with player 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.880 media from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:53.800 Training Complex. This is the Drive Time Podcast Miami Dolphins. 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.960 Some roster news here. On cut down Day, the NFL 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.760 teams across the league are required to get to eight 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.000 d players at the four pm deadline. The Dolphins didn't 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.800 waste any time early on Tuesday morning making their announcements 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:13.399 as punter Stephen hoff richter, safety Sheldrick RedWine, and outside 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:18.000 linebacker DeAndre Johnson were released on Tuesday, where john Lovett, 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.600 the fullback, and Mackenzie Alexander, the newcomer at cornerback, were 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.040 placed on injured reserve and as the rule state, players 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.400 placed on i R before the season begins must miss 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.840 the entire season. There was some good injury news from 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.160 head coach Mike McDaniels Tuesday morning presser. He says that 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.399 cornerback Nick need Um, after going straight to the locker 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.080 room after his injury, is good to go. He's gonna 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.000 be back out there on the practice field on Tuesday, 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.640 and Keion Crossing is day to day with his injury. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.880 So some really good news there among those two cornerbacks. 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.400 We didn't get an update on Byron Jones, just that 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.800 he is working diligently to get ready for that Week 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.360 one game, so we'll see what happens there. And then 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.320 also coach spoke about some other stuff. Some more fascinating 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.760 things that I find about this entire month of the calendar, 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:07.160 this exhibition season, is how teams approached these preseason games 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.800 and coach, as we talked about on the podcast Our 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.079 shorthand c aw A, Coach's answer was awesome. Gave us 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.480 more gold here about the preseason approach talking about the 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.200 run game and their plan and approach for how to 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.720 play these games. Again, like like I told you, I'm not, Um, 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.560 I'm pretty well versed in preseason football. UM. And no, 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.480 I look at it more like, Okay, what are we 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.240 going against? How are they playing? And what should we do? 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.240 You know? Is it our things in the run game 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:43.720 a product of um, three or four guys and how 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.840 they're operating, or is it one player on each play? Um? 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.880 You know the more than anything, really this preseason, we 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.799 haven't got stuff going because it's been one or two 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:59.160 guys off, which UM, I'm more concerned about the players 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.880 w they learn from that or not. Uh, joint practices 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:08.840 generally have UM, you're you're a little more comfortable uh 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:13.720 doing not the uh one oh one version of of 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:21.000 your run game pass game defense. So uh, but I 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.680 wouldn't see myself you know again, I'm I look at 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.919 a collection of things. UM, I want stuff to be 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.079 better from that Raiders game, and I want I want 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.480 us to run the ball well. Um. But at the 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.800 same time, I think, UM, our players are pretty confident 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.400 that and and the coaching stuff I know is that 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.160 we're we're gonna be fine moving forward. We just have 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.560 to get better from stuff. That's what I'm concerned about. 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:51.280 So um, I wouldn't. My philosophy is not going to 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:55.920 change that. That's something that's par for the course in preseason. Sometimes, uh, 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.839 depending on what the other team is trying to work 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.080 on and do, um and what they're concerned about, sometimes 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:06.040 you have awesome Yeah. I think we've had I've had 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:10.200 a hundred and eight r running games in seasons that 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.200 you haven't finished high in rushing yards and vice versa. 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.600 So um, it's just kind of part for the course. 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.360 So we've been the beneficiaries of some pretty good expertise 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.239 there from head coach Mike McDaniel defensive cornea or Josh 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.800 Boyer Earlier in the week. I believe I spoke to 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.800 Matt Apple Obama as well about some of the stuff. 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.240 But you get the idea like there are certain things 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.239 you're trying to accomplish that don't involve the final score 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.919 of the game or the result necessarily, but finding out 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.799 what works on tape, how guys match up individually without 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.919 help of the scheme, And that's where us next question 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.760 goes towards about what are you trying to find out 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.279 about these games and coach mentions directly like, we don't 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:47.960 want to put scheme in there to benefit guys. We 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.680 want to find out how they play on their own 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.000 without the help of the scheme. Talking about lots of 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.520 man coverage on defense, here's coach McDaniel. You also you're 0:04:55.560 --> 0:05:01.600 also doing on both sides of the ball. You are, um, 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:06.839 you're really trying to be basic for the for that sense, 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.359 because you want to see how they can perform without 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:16.720 schematic help necessarily, UM your your you know, offensively and defensively. 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.360 You call games different because you are trying to there's 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.080 a portion of it that you're really trying to not 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.000 just hold back the stuff that you're going to do 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.960 in the regular season, but you're also trying to put 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.640 people in positions to prove themselves. You know, UM, we 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:38.080 had a ton of um man coverage uh in in 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.560 this game, in this past game, a ton of it 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.919 for that reason, so that we could evaluate people at 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:49.520 all positions. UM. And you know that that's a very 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.640 important thing. Now we might show up with games and 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.680 do the same thing. You know, who knows, But the 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.360 purpose of doing it was just for the reason you're 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.039 talking about as we're trying to evaluate and see how 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.279 people UM can do the fundamentals and technique that we 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.279 talk about at length each and every day. Mike, you 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:12.120 find it easier to evaluate analyzed players in those specific 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.520 situations you can put them in and enjoin practices UM 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.960 as opposed to the game format of of preseason and 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.360 of course, with the Eagles coming to town tomorrow, coach 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.920 was asked about joint practices and how you balance the 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.280 value of those reps and practice versus measuring whether or 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.919 not guys should play in the game. Here's McDaniel. The 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.680 joint practices are easier because you can there's a large 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.239 a large, there's a good majority that you can dictate 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.000 the terms. You make sure you get a certain amount 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.240 of plays. You can dictate how much run versus pass um. 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.320 You know, those things UM are kind of controlled, you know, 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:51.240 whereas in a game, you know you you you can't 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.360 control whether or not you have multiple possessions and in 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.440 the in the first quarter or and you can you 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.159 can't really determine and whether or not UM. You know, 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.520 people call games off of the momentum of it, so 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.720 UM you end up adjusting to what's being called or 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:11.960 trying to dictate the terms with what you call. So 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:17.680 it's a lot easier there, UM and in joint practices really, UM, 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.720 that's that is my favorite part of the preseason UM 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.640 in general is when you do get those opportunities to 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.480 practice against other people and and you know you're you're 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.960 really trying to It's such a great opportunity for both 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:37.280 sides of the ball to defend UM against and to 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:44.040 run your offense against different techniques, coverages, UM, alignments, assignments, 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.760 all that stuff that that is what you have to 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.120 do to be successful in the NFL season is a 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:55.760 just so the it it is. It is really fun. UM. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.600 It breaks stuff up. You know we've been doing this. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.920 I feel like I've been meeting guys in this room 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.320 for um a couple of months now, maybe it's been one, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.640 but training camp does you know that does get monotonous 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.800 to guys, And so it's a great way to really 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.240 break stuff up, and UM, make sure you you keep 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:21.239 that competitive nature UM going through the process and UM 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.800 before you start preparing for your Week one opponent, we're 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.040 gonna play an answer here just a minute about alec 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.200 Ingolden coach actually did give us some details about the 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.120 fact that he expects Ingle to play in the game 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.080 on Saturday after wearing a medical red jersey for much 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.960 of the training camp season here this month of August. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.880 But Coach was again asked about playing starter this week, 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.320 and he gave you the same answer he's given you 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.360 for the last three weeks about how we're not going 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.360 to short change the process and we're gonna let this 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.520 thing play out before and make decisions on the actual 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.320 game day decision. But he did get a follow up 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.439 question about how he would feel about this long layoff 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.800 between now and the September eleven opener against the Patriots 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.160 and not having starters play from this time in a 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.200 game against live bullets until that game, and Coach basically said, well, 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.520 last year's World champions didn't play their quarterback one time 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.720 in August. Yeah, I mean, in theory, In theory, I 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:15.720 could go, uh, I really like where we've developed on 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.520 both sides of the ball. Um, in theory, you could 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.080 I think what you guys are seeing um across the 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:27.000 league is the bunch of a bunch of organizations and 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.040 coaching staffs and head coaches trying to adjust to three 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:37.040 preseason games because there there's way more variants in the protocol. Um. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.199 You could almost like, uh, it was like clockwork when 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.679 it was four preseason games. Um, But it's not just 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.280 that it's only three. It's that there's two weeks until 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.360 the regular season begins. So those compounding variables make it 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:56.280 kind of tricky. UM. I believe, Uh, the Super Bowl 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:03.000 champions last year didn't play anybody the entire preseason. I 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:10.920 know Matthew Stafford didn't, so um. But then you know, philosophically, Uh, 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:15.960 it kind of gears everything towards my belief anyway, which 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.480 is it is case by case, and I don't I 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.160 don't like absolutes. UM. I think there's a lot of people, 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.680 um in that same boat because there's not an exact 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:31.360 formula the you're trying to get guys to play together, um, 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:35.360 and you want those opportunities. Well, some guys that's not 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:39.120 as big a deal for because they're you know, vested 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.679 veterans that have done it, um, you know that have 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.520 a hundred games under their belts or whatever. Then UM, 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.120 you're you're also trying to weigh the risk that that 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.400 everyone undertakes every team every time they're on the football field. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:59.640 So it's a it's really a maddening non perfect formula. 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:05.760 But you know, I feel very um uh uh, I'm 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:10.520 happy and I feel like I'm very lucky to be 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.839 able to have that burden of decision on my plate, 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:18.360 you know. So that's uh, that's something that I don't 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.680 take likely trying to figure out the best formula um 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:25.679 for the final product. But UM, to do that for me, 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.320 I have to just let the process play out, um 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:33.080 and ignore my feelings, which I don't think you're that 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:37.040 interested in because right now I'm hungry. Is that worth writing? Yeah, 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.280 well I am hungry. Um. Maybe I'll explore more feelings 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.839 moving forward. Frankly, I think we would all be interested 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:50.480 in more more opening about coaches feelings. Up next, the 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.959 question about alec Ingold, not just about Ingold's availability, but 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.600 how the full back position might be beneficial for the 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.680 rest of the running game on offense. Coach breaks that down. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.719 Remember on the Monday podcast we talked about the tight 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.520 ends getting some run at that fullback position with Hunter Long, 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.319 Durham Smith, and Seethan Carter. Let's go ahead and talk 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.360 about alec Ingold first. When we'll come back and talk 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:15.280 about Hunter Long to finish this thing up. He's you know, 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:20.720 the fullback position in general, um is is something that 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.960 I believe does assist um a lot of other players, 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:29.520 not just his assignment, but how how offensive linemen are 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.400 able to execute their their stuff. So I firmly believe 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:37.360 in that. UM. You know, my I guess, um, you 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.400 know what I'm just I'm feeling in a great mood. UM. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:45.040 My feeling is that Alec will get some get some 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:49.440 time here Saturday. UM for that very reason. Boom, there 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.760 we go. UM. But but it is it is a 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:56.800 good Uh, it is a asset that not just you know, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:03.560 that position in particular, UM, ultimately affects UM really all 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.760 the positions with how to do their job when you're 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:13.000 schematically setting up a play. So that's that it will be. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.360 It will be exciting to see him get some joint 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.920 work without a red jersey, UM, which is, by the way, 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.800 one of the more confusing things fullbacks and red jerseys. 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.720 But UM, nothing we haven't been able to handle. It's 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.600 just another obstacle we've had to climb this this offseason. 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.880 But yeah, I think I think it will It will 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.679 be cool to have him out on the field this week. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.360 UM and and hopefully everything goes well so that we 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.120 can see a little bit of him on the game. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.199 And now a really cool story about second year tight 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.960 end Hunter Long. Hunter Long had a very good week 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:49.920 of practice. In particular, he was he he started off 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.560 really really good UM in O, T, A. S. And 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.640 then I think if you even asked him himself, you know, 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.040 there was there was a little there's a little bit 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.400 of time where you just kind of was out there 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.839 and he wasn't making that many plays in the running 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:10.000 past game UM and specifically his position coach John Embry, UM, 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:11.520 you know, had a had a heart to heart with 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.440 him about a week ago, uh, just because you know, 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.760 just checking on him, and he really turned it up. 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.640 So those are the things that I really really look for, 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.480 UM as a coach when you're when you're when you're 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.920 looking at players, is how do they handle, um any 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:31.120 sort of adversity, So that that being a light adversity. 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.240 He he had his best week of practice last week, 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:38.280 and I thought he played very very good in the game. UM. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.920 One of the reasons that you call in the red zone, UM, 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.120 you go for it on fourth and seven, UM, is 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.720 not because that's your philosophy in the preseason or just 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.800 your philosophy and football. UM. I I was excited for 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.520 a fourth and seven play to be called because I 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.760 wanted to see what players would do what UM, you know, 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.080 in a big moment. All right, it's fourth and seven. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.240 Do they all of a sudden make stuff up and 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.520 go rogue or do you see their best UM version 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.960 of whatever route they're running UM on the field. And 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.120 Hunter was in on that play and he ran one 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.800 of my favorite UM routes on the concept we ran 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.120 that he's ever run. That told me a lot. That 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.200 was cool to see UM, and I think, uh, you know, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.080 he's I'm excited for him. The joint practices to build 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:32.280 upon his specifically his last week of work, which I 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.040 thought was outstated. And go back and check out that 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.680 route by Hunter along very good job sticking his footing 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.240 the ground a little whip route and creating some separation 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.320 that way on a very very well run route there 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.360 as coach mentions. So there you go, head coach Mike McDaniel. 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.160 Let's go ahead and take our first break and come 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.600 back here and get to the practice notes, and we'll 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.720 preview some top matchups for Dolphins and Eagles this week 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.800 here live from the Baptist Health Training Complex. That's next 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.000 Drive Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:08.840 by Auto Nation. A practice broke out on Tuesday, and 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.680 it wasn't a whole bunch of work, a bit of 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.320 an abbreviated period for us to get eyes on this 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.840 football team one last time before they take on the 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:21.680 Philadelphia Eagles tomorrow and Thursday, before the game on Saturday, 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.000 and then it's full go into the season from there. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.600 The notes as a result gonna be a little bit shorter, 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.640 but also taking a look at the Eagles matchups coming 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.440 to town tomorrow. It started today with three splash plays, 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.320 two of two Ingold, two to Tyreek and twoa to 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.040 Mike Alec. Ingold caught the ball along the sidelines heading 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.480 vertical and according to him, a little bit of toe 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.440 drag swag on that he pulls that thing down and 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.480 gets the feet down in bounds. And the other two 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.320 were against the blitz and I loved the poise we 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.520 saw from Tua and his approach to get the ball 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.320 out early and where it needed to be with plenty 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.240 of arc to allow the receiver's time to find it 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.320 go get it and adjust to it. And first with Tyreek, 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.280 actually you know, let's go let's go ahead and go 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.760 back here a little bit. I just love watching the 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.520 receivers work through the individual drills, and when they go 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.720 inside for a little bit, they're closer to us. I 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.000 get a chance to keep a closer eye on those guys. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.280 You know, when we're outside the defense's nearest us offense 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.240 on the far field. That gets flipped when we go inside. 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.639 But the line of scrimmage release packages, that portion of 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.000 their drills is appointment viewing for a football dorc. And 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.720 if you know this podcast by now, that is me, 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.159 especially with ten and seventeen, Tyrek and and and Jilen Waddle. 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.879 I mean West has that unit West Welker bouncing around, 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.239 running from drill to drill. And in fact, when they 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.760 went from indoors to outside, I saw West kind of 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.280 doing that hop skip and throwing his arms up to 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.480 pump up the crowd that wasn't there by the way, 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.720 like he was coming out of the tunnel back in uniform. 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.560 You just don't manufacture that kind of passion. I think 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.399 it rubs off on the rest of the room and 0:17:56.440 --> 0:18:00.560 the way they work now back to practice, Tyreek deploys 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.440 that same release game that we saw in the individual 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.760 portion during the team portion on a play from the 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.479 plus forty yard line forty yard by going in and 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.720 to a has a shotgun snap and loft this thing 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.159 downfield immediately. There's a video of it on social go 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.880 check it out. And when he threw the thing, Tyrek 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:17.840 is barely ten yards out of his break, like he's 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.000 at the thirty yard line, but there was enough air 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.520 under it down to the goal line so that Tyreek 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.399 could run under it for a score and actually rewatching it. 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.800 I think he got tackled at the one, but who 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.560 cares the same idea later on another blitz, and I 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.359 think this is a good example of two of showing 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:37.600 post snap application of pre snap acumen. The rush had 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:41.439 more guys than the protection had to account for. I mean, 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.280 that's blitzing one on one right create free runners. We've 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:48.520 seen this defense cripple opposing offensive attacks for sixty minutes 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.720 with that approach. On this one, too, of fades back 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:55.080 just enough to buy an extra tick and lobs that 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.399 thing down the field. This time it's Mike gets Sicky 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.600 who gets free. He has a hatch and has to 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.320 contend with a defensive back for run after the catch. 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.960 I didn't see the number, but I'm about sure we 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.120 have a sixty yard touchdown on that place. So three 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.240 big splash plays in the short period. Just really good 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.280 work from two of showing the same stuff we saw 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:18.119 Saturday with processing, getting through your reads based upon your 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:22.399 pre snap snapshot and post snap rotation. And rather than 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:26.600 exploiting checkdowns in this practice, you're hitting home runs with 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.399 long touchdowns. That's why you love to see that first 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.240 part because you can apply it to more explosive plays 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.720 that you will naturally create by getting the football out, 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.400 moving the chains, and giving yourself more reps. If they're 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.959 gonna give you that, keep going after it. Eventually they 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.520 won't give it to you, and that opens up opportunities downfield. 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.680 Playing quarterback isn't just about the four or five downfield 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.080 throws a game. It's every single snap playing with an 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:53.439 attention to detail and the precision to put yourself in 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.800 position that when those big opportunities arise, you can capitalize 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:59.680 on them. That and the fact that I think to 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:02.720 A has demonstrated an ability to help raise the floor 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.600 a little bit and eliminate some of the more costly plays, 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.119 the sacks and the turnovers. As a result of this 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.919 quick processing, I think those two things could add up 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:12.919 to go a long long way for two and this 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.040 Dolphins team this year. Teddy Bridgewater had some good work today. 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:17.600 There was one ball I think he'd like to have 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.200 back on a deep shot to Braylon Sanders who got 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:22.959 free and stacked the defensive back. The ball was just 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.520 under thrown, but he was in rhythm on time and 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.080 threw it accurately. Today there was some tough sledding for 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:29.760 the running backs, just not a lot of room to 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.199 operate with. Chase Edmonds had a nice run to the 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.840 second level with his patented one cut, getting north and 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.479 south and explode type of move. And then Myles Gaston 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:39.960 bounced one run outside where I thought he looked really 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.000 quick out of that break. But it was a lot 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.480 of stacking up and penetration for the front on the 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.800 defensive side. Just some last notes here on the offense. 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:50.160 I thought Mike get Sick he had a really good day. 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.439 I thought Hunter Long had himself a really nice day, 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:54.600 getting in and out of breaks but also holding his 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.679 own and some pass pro slash run block looks. I 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.960 want to take talk more about Hunter Long down the 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.080 road this week. He's an interesting topic here, I think 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:05.400 on the podcast we'll come to that, I think probably tomorrow. 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.720 Braylon Sanders had some big plays. River Craigcraft caught a 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:12.440 couple of passes, including a five yard touchdown pass from 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.359 Teddy where he got all alone in the back of 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:16.399 the end zone. And as for the guys upfront that 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.960 made those stops in the running game, Wilkins had one. 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.240 John Jenkins got good pushed from much of the day. 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:24.080 Zack Seeler had one that I saw, Ray Kwon Davis 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.679 had a couple of pile ups, Andrew Van Ginkle crashed 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.719 that edge for a couple of plays, and then Jerome 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.639 Baker fit the run really nicely today. He had one 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.879 play where he was pretty much it was him or 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.760 nobody to make a stop on Chase Edmonds for your 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:40.399 potential long touchdown run. And he scrapes off of this 0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:42.359 block and squares up Chase and meets him in the 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:45.000 gap and tags him off. So good stuff from the linebackers. 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:47.679 And speaking of good linebacker play, Melvin Ingram was a 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:49.879 bit of a bowl today. Man. He sets one of 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.119 the hardest edges I've seen out here. He is getting 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.439 the job done consistently. And then Channing Tindall also had 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:57.080 a big stick or a would be stick in the 0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.399 running game. He continues to look good. I continue to 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.320 be very pressed by his game. I would take that 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:06.919 word of mine. Jalen Phillips really showed his stuff with 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.159 a pair of would be sacks in this practice. The 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:11.240 first one was an awesome bull rush where he did 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:14.560 something similar to what Tyreek Hill did that I mentioned earlier, 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:19.240 where he put the application of individual work into the 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:22.600
