<v Speaker 3>The Drive Time podcast.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 4>That's another Miami.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins big news over the weekend, or actually really it

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 2>came out right after our Friday podcast published. The head

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>coach Mike McDaniel has a contract extension that we'll keep

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>them with the team through at least twenty twenty eight.

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 2>A coach, of course, coach has produced some of the

0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 2>most fun football teams of a Dolphins fan of a age,

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 2>his entire life. I mean, we've had this conversation on

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.559
<v Speaker 2>the show before. It was twenty five years between top

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 2>ten offenses for your Miami Dolphins, and they've built this

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>thing pretty quickly here under head coach Mike McDaniel. He,

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>of course, with his quarterback have a long term extension

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>in place, so they should be tied together for the

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>foreseeable future and the continuity this provides, not just from

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>a head coaching standpoint, but what he's developed on the

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.839
<v Speaker 2>offensive staff with Frank Smith being here, Darryl Bevill, Eric Studisville,

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>with John Embry, Butch Berry, Wes Welker, all these guys

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 2>have really built up some time here and you figure

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 2>or hope that can continue into the future. And of course,

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you're successful enough, you might lose some

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>of those coaches. But I think going into this year,

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 2>you've kind of learned the value of continuity on your

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 2>coaching staff, something that Dolphins, especially offensively, just have not

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 2>had in a very long time. You've heard players give

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>their testimonials about, you know, head coach Mike McDaniel and

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>how they love playing for him, they respond to him,

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 2>and I think that you can kind of, you know,

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>etch that back to proof with regards to people loving

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins' entire makeup and program and wanting to be here.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 2>When you look at the free agent acquisitions and the

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 2>guys that have lined up to come down here. I

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 2>mean Kalaias Campbell has spoken many times about taking less

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 2>money to come play for his hometown team and how

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 2>excited he is to play for the new head coach.

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>You look at a player like Odell Beckham coming down

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>here for you know, similar reasons, talking about taking less

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 2>to come play for the Dolphins and the role that

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>he can have in their offense. Getting Tyreek Hill here.

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>He wanted to be here, you know, as bad as

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>anybody else. It just up and down the roster, you

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>have players that wanted to be here to play for

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>head coach Mike McDaniel, Jalen Ramsey last year, Kendall Fuller,

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 2>and how fortunate we are to have this guy, you know,

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>back to back winning seasons, back to back playoff seasons

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>here under coach. So let's go ahead and spend this

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>thing forward to coach McDaniel, who spoke about his contract

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>extension and Monday's media availability.

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 5>The congratulations goes to the to the organization. I think

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 5>you there's a lot of people that live you up

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 5>to give you the opportunity to become a head coach.

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 5>But once you become a head coach for for that

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 5>program to sustain, that takes each and every person involved

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 5>in it. So I see that's an accomplishment as a

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 5>for the organization, and there was a neat moment, as

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.479
<v Speaker 5>you'd phrase it. It was I had dinner over at

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 5>a mister Rossi's house a couple of weeks ago, so

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 5>it was a great dinner.

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 4>I ate all of my steak I did, I did.

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 5>They gave me minimal so they anticipated that.

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 6>But I don't need.

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Man talk about a great offseason. McDaniel, Tua, Tyreek Waddle

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 2>all getting either extensions or pay raises that I should

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 2>attach them to the team for for the foreseeable future.

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>So the things that have produced these top ranked offenses,

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>they ain't going anywhere, and that's true, be very exciting

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 2>for all Dolphins fans everywhere. Also, we have had a

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of roster shakeups since our initial fifty three man

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 2>roster was announced, and you know this could even change

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 2>as we go live here on the show when this produces,

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 2>because it's a league of constant change and roster turnover.

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 2>But I want to go ahead and update you guys

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 2>on the latest practice squad for the Miami Dolphins, because

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I think last week talked we had like eight or

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>nine players on that list and now it's rounding into form.

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 3>So here's what it looks like.

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>As of this taping, Tim Boyle, Robbie Chosen is back,

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 2>and he is a receiver that was with us last year,

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 2>who knows the offense, who spent time with the forty

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>nine ers this offseason in a similar offense, and I

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 2>think that kind of validates, you know, Chosen's ability to

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 2>find his footing within the system. For a guy like

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Shanahan to say, you were in a similar offense

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 2>last year and we think you can come here and

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 2>be productive. Of course, he doesn't make the opening day

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 2>roster for them and winds up back on the Dolphins

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>practice squad in his you know, former stomping grounds where

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 2>he grew up in the state of Florida. So he

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 2>comes back to give the Dolphins some depth on the

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>practice squad, along with Eric Azukama, who did not make

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>the initial fifty three, but he's back in that same capacity.

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 2>And then another receiver that I wanted to put some

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 2>notes on here because I was a huge fan of

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 2>his coming out of Western Michigan is d Es Gridge

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 2>and he did not have, you know, the career that

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he wanted to have with the Seattle Seahawks,

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>and here he finds himself on the Dolphins practice squad.

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>But when you think about his game and what he

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>features and what makes him a prominent prospect or didn't

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>make him a prominent prospect, I should say it's a

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of the stuff that the Dolphins ask of their

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>receivers here and with him and Aszukama and Grant Dubos,

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 2>you can kind of see the thinking behind the depth

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 2>in the receiver's room as we know, work to get

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 2>River Craycraft back and eventually Odell Beckham Junior as well.

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 2>And you saw the last two years, you know, Tua

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>or rather Tyreek and Waddell, they come out and they

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 2>get some rep some rest in between their reps because

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>all the motions and vertical routes they run, it's a

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 2>lot of running and it's a lot of conditioning that

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>goes into that and to keep them fresh and to

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 2>keep them available for them. As many many vertical routes

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 2>they run, the Dolphins like to swap in a rotate

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 2>receivers and you can oftentimes do that down in the

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 2>red area when you're looking at you know, some run

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 2>heavy type of situations with your offense. And I think

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>that when you think about some of the swapouts they've

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>had for for Reak and Waddle down there, it's been

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 2>like Cedric Wilson, it's been River Craycraft. It's been these

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 2>guys that are really exceptional run blockers. And that's exactly

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 2>what I see with both Grant Dubos and d s Gridge.

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and we'll get to Dobos here in

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>one second, but es Gridge on top of that, he

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 2>has really exceptional balance and a good center of gravity

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 2>that keeps him through contact and keeps him on his

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>feet through contact. And I think that with what that

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 2>can do from a blocking standpoint and a ball carrier standpoint,

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, it's akin to what John hus Smith

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 2>offers in the sense of when you send him across

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 2>the formation, it could be as a blocker, but it

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 2>could also.

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Be as a ball carrier.

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 2>And that just gives defenses against an offense that does

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 2>this as well as anybody else in the National Football League.

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 2>It gives them that extra fraction of a second of pause,

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 2>which creates urgency to get to the perimeter, which creates overplay,

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 2>which creates an opportunity for McDaniel to create a playoff

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>of that is not enough creation for you guys. But

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 2>that's the thinking I think with receivers like this, and

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 2>especially with Grant Dubo's who you pull up his tape

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 2>from the preseason or you go back to Charlotte in college.

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm not so sure he's not the best run blocking

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 2>receiver in the entire program right now. I mean, go

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 2>back and watch his clips for the Packers last year

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.079
<v Speaker 2>or in this preseason. I should say he was hitting

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 2>some down blocks where he wiped dudes out and he

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 2>was bodying them up. And you know, I watched the

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Colorado and North Dakota State game on Thursday night. What

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 2>a great game that was. By the way, Travis Hunter

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.199
<v Speaker 2>is an absolute star. I think Shouder Sara's gonna be

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 2>pretty good too. But I was watching some of the

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 2>plays where they'd get runs to the second level and

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 2>the receivers didn't really have much of an interest in

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 2>hitting blocks at that level. And it reminds me of

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the coaching Clint that McDaniel once did where he discussed,

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, this is a key element of our offense.

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 2>And this is when he was in San Francisco, like,

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 2>we can have four yard runs if you guys want.

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 2>But if we're going to hit explosives in the running

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 2>game like we want, we better have some blockers on

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the edge that hold their blocks and create those opportunities

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 2>for our backs when they do find room at the

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 2>second level. And that's what Debos looks like to me.

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 2>On top of that, he is a very very good

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>contested catch guy. He's not going to create a ton

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 2>of separation, or at least that's not why he's been

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.080
<v Speaker 2>so far in his career and in college. But I

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 2>think back to that go route, that quick read, you know,

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 2>vertical shot to River Craycraft that Twa threw for the

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>touchdown on his loan preseason possession back against the Commanders

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks back, and it's a similar look to

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 2>what I've seen from Grant to Bosa's film, where he's

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 2>the boundary receiver, the X receiver right the short side

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 2>of the field and all the overplay that you get

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>from the atten created on the front side of the

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 2>formation from Reeke and Waddle, from Johnavis Smith and Von Hham.

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 2>You put your big body X in the backside and

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>if they roll coverage to create a one on one

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 2>situation over there, it's a good look for two or

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 2>to throw into and he makes a lot of those

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 2>catches when he gets those looks. So I think there's

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 2>a clear fit for a role on this team. Not

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>to mention what he offers as a special teamer because

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 2>he busts his butt down. There's you know, they don't

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.719
<v Speaker 2>have the wedge anymore, but if they did, he is

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 2>a classic wedge buster, a guy that can run through

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 2>blocks and go get a punt returner or a kick

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>returner to the ground in quick succession.

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 3>So I am a huge, huge.

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Fan of this grant to boast addition to the back

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 2>end of your receiving Corps Special teams value and really

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 2>really good work in the running game, which is for

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 2>a guy that you know in that position typically you

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 2>think like eight twelve, maybe fifteen snaps in a game.

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Hey man, if that's what we need from you, to

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 2>go run one takeof from that boundary position for that

0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.599
<v Speaker 2>ex position and go hit one key block on a

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 2>raheem most of our touchdown run.

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 3>That's value.

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 2>And I know we were talking about practice squad there

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 2>and got kind of sidetracked. Let's go ahead and go

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 2>back to the practice squad here, because granted to both

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 2>is on the fifty three man roster, so Tim Boyle,

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 2>who comes over from the Jets. He had time in

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.679
<v Speaker 2>the system previously when he was with the Green Bay

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Packers under Matt Lafleur. I shouldn't say the system, but

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 2>an offshoot of the system or a similar branch of

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 2>the scheme mentioned. Robbie chosen d s Gridge. Jordan Colbert,

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 2>the safety, had a nice preseason. He comes back on

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 2>the practice squad. Eric Azukama Jonathan Harris is a guy

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 2>that I think is in line to get in season

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 2>elevations because I thought he showed pretty well in the preseason.

0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Has a clear fit in this defense for what he

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 2>can do up front. Chasing Hines comes back to the

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 2>practice squad. To Kwan Jackson was a late addition to

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins roster in training camp. He does enough in

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 2>his short time to earn a spot on the practice squad.

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 2>And Isaiah Johnson is a cornerback that I think can

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 2>play at this level. His length when you watch him

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.120
<v Speaker 2>walk around at practice, he can scratch his knees just

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 2>ending straight up. He has insane length and physicality. I

0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 2>think that tracks with you know what you need at

0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the position in today's NFL, So I'm looking forward to

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>watching his career develop here. And then one more guy

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:05.839
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to kind of break down for you is

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Nakuon Jones, the newcomer from Arizona, a nose tackle who

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 2>eat up a lot of space, eats up a lot

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 2>of blocks, and has a very quick first step with

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 2>the ability to kind of stack and shed. And you

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.319
<v Speaker 2>heard Chris Greer talk about how excited he was to

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 2>add Nakwon Jones back at his press conference last week.

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a guy in a defense that

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, from Anthony Weaver's perspective last year in Baltimore,

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 2>what did he have alongside justin Matdebuke, but someone like

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Michael Pierce who's three hundred and fifty pounds, but Nito

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Jones kind of fits that mold a true nose tackle.

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 2>I think Nakwon Jones is the next best nose tackle

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.959
<v Speaker 2>on this team, where Brandon Peely and the like kind

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.559
<v Speaker 2>of you know, can play some nose but I think

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 2>they're best suited for you know, one shades and three

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 2>techniques and kind of kicking further out in the formation defensively.

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 2>So very excited about that. We also have Nick Needham

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 2>coming back to the practice squad. What a great veteran

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 2>addition he is. You lose a player in the secondary

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>for a game, what a great option to have off

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>your practice squad for elevation, to come help you on

0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 2>special teams, to come be a sub package, you know,

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 2>safety or cornerback because he can do both of those roles.

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Very very valuable piece of the practice squad here. And

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>then of course tight end Hayden Rucci on the practice

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 2>squad after a strong preseason. And then the three most

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 2>recent additions of the Dolphins practice squad linebacker William Bradley King,

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 2>tackle Anderson Hardy, and running back Generic Prince. And that

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 2>leaves one more spot open. As of this taping, we'll

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 2>get you guys updated on the sixteen member of the

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins practice squad, plus bidro Matt Doos who is the

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 2>International Pathway exemption position as the seventeenth man who cannot

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 2>play this year. He will be here all year getting

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 2>some work in developing his game. So there you go,

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 2>break number one right there. Let's come back on the

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 2>other side and talk about this Dolphins offensive line. I

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 2>have some great quotes from head coach Mike McDaniel also

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 2>talked to Liam Eichenberg and Lester Cotton in the locker room.

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 2>That's next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought

0:13:55.520 --> 0:14:00.560
<v Speaker 2>to you by AutoNation. Segment number two take us back

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>into a hot topic surrounding this Dolphins football team this year.

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.319
<v Speaker 2>And you know, the results are the results, and they

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 2>speak for themselves for this Dolphins offense. And I know

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 2>it's been much bandied about on social media and the

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 2>like about the investment into the Dolphins offensive line, which

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>if you take a look at the tackle position between

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 2>toront Armstead as a free agent, between Austin Jackson's contract

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 2>extension last year, between drafting a tackle in the second

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>round of Patrick Paul who has the look of a

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 2>real potential long term freak in this offense. As to

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Ron Armstead coined it earlier in training camp, this offense

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 2>allows tackles to feel like playmakers, and it looks to

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 2>me like Patrick Paul has the look of a playmaker

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 2>at that left tackle position. Kendall Lamb gets a free

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>agent or a returning contract, I should say, coming back

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 2>to the Miami Dolphins, so they really invested in that spot.

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 2>They went out and got Aaron Brewer as well. They've

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 2>invested in developing players on the offensive line, which I

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 2>think is going to be a critical piece of.

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 3>How this whole thing comes together.

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I've talked about the Alex Gibbs coaching

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 2>clinic in the nineties at that Marriott and Unknown locations

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 2>where he talks about how this offensive system, he was

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 2>the O line coach for the Denver Broncos under Mike Shanahan,

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 2>how we value the position unlike anybody else in the NFL,

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 2>look for different traits than anybody else in the NFL.

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 2>And you know, covered those Broncos offensive lines that were

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 2>full of seventh and tenth round draft picks and undrafted

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 2>free agents up and down the board, that didn't have

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a single draft pick ahead of the third round, on

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 2>that team that won back to back champions It's championships.

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 2>It has been a long tried and true method of

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>how this whole thing is built, how it operates, based

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 2>upon that continuity and consistency of that group. And you

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 2>can look at, you know, the forty nine Ers offensive

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 2>line right now with Trent Williams there or not, It's

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 2>a similar looking build, a similar looking concept. It's mostly

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, day three picks and guys they spent time

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 2>developing in their program that they feel offered them value

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 2>compared to the rest of the league, and I think

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 2>that you can really extrapolate from them and.

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 3>See where they're going with that concept.

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I keep seeing this relevant comment or

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 2>pertinent comment I should say on social media about all

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 2>the teams that go deep in the playoffs are built

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 2>for the offensive line, and I just I don't know

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 2>where that sentiment comes from, because I looked at the

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 2>forty nine Ers offensive line that started the Super Bowl

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 2>last year, and there was a bunch of guys that

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.320
<v Speaker 2>great in the back half of their position groups on

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Pro Football Focus. Now, does Pro Football Focus have the exact,

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, scheme and assignment type of knowledge the Niners

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 2>do for what works for their offensive line.

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 3>Probably not. And that's why I think that, you know,

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 3>taking a.

0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Look at that from a general perspective, as the rest

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:42.720
<v Speaker 2>of the league look at the offensive line play and

0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 2>analysis looks at the offensive line play and PFF grades,

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 2>you kind of have to do it differently because it's

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>coached and it's taught, and it's ran differently here in Miami.

0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.160
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's worth touching on that to go

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 2>back to more examples. Look at the twenty twenty one

0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Bengals offensive line and that Super Bowl Four of the

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 2>five guys are are not on like first team rosters

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.359
<v Speaker 2>right now, and half of them are.

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 3>On practice squad.

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>So I just push back on that sentiment that you

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>have to build a team a certain way. I think

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.440
<v Speaker 2>it's been proven time and time again that you don't

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 2>have to prioritize the trenches first.

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Above all, I.

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Think this team has done a good job of building

0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 2>a roster that has the second most top one hundred

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 2>players in the National Football League, and those are scattered

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.719
<v Speaker 2>across the premium positions in the National Football League. Right quarterback, receiver,

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 2>left tackle, cornerback, edge rusher. Those are the five premium spots.

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 2>That's where the Dolphins really invests the most in as

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 2>you look at this roster, and it's paid off for

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.399
<v Speaker 2>them in a big way. So I just wanted to

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.400
<v Speaker 2>get that diatribe out there ahead of some commentary here

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 2>from head coach Mike McDaniel, who first talked about his

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 2>confidence on the offensive line. We'll come back and hear

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 2>from him on what I think is one of the

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 2>most important aspects of this group is the continuity and

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 2>development of the guys that they have invested in on

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the offensive line. First, here's Coach on his confidence in

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:56.640
<v Speaker 2>this Miami offensive line.

0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:02.639
<v Speaker 5>I feel very confident in where we're at from the

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 5>offensive line position, and that confidence comes from all not

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 5>twenty twenty three or or a version that maybe people

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 5>are exposed to. I'm talking about twenty twenty four of

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 5>these individuals and the group and what I've watched every

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 5>practice and the you know, or even to the point

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 5>of how we blocked Atlanta's defensive line and joint versus

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:39.200
<v Speaker 5>a year ago. The group itself has given me confidence

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 5>because I don't base any of my thoughts or opinions

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:50.760
<v Speaker 5>on the former, former production or the former self of someone.

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.680
<v Speaker 5>I let them define what they are right in front

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 5>of me that day. So there's the group is give

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 5>me more confidence at the O line position really in general,

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:07.640
<v Speaker 5>that I've had since I've been here.

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.440
<v Speaker 2>And looking at the group up and down, I mean,

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 2>it's all guys that have been here for the most

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.080
<v Speaker 2>part for three years under head coach Mike McDaniel and

0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Brewers new but he's probably the literally the best

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 2>scheme fit in this offense in the entire National Football

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 2>League from an explosive, get off the football type of

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 2>perspective and his ability to create positive angles and stretch

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the defense horizontally that they want to execute here. But

0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Rob Jones in his third year in the system, Lester

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Cotton his third year in the system, Liam Mikenberg and

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 2>his third year in the system. I mean, it's up

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 2>and down the roster, Tron, Austin Jackson, the tackles like

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 2>everybody's been here, you know, since the start, and that

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 2>level of stability to kind of piggyback off of that

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 2>McDaniel extension talk and keeping his offensive staff intact. That

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 2>proves beneficial for pretty much every team that can achieve that,

0:19:58.040 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 2>And so I thought it was important to put that

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.200
<v Speaker 2>on tape and to go ahead and ask this question

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 2>to coach about your guys's biggest investments this offseason, the

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 2>offensive line, or the majority of them, I should say,

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 2>was retaining incumbents. Can you tell us about the value

0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>of continuity and chemistry on an offensive line that has

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 2>to work and seek, has to work in tandem, has

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.160
<v Speaker 2>to understand angles and double teams, and when to catch

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 2>and climb at the right spots. Here's coach McDaniel on

0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:25.400
<v Speaker 2>all those topics regarding the Dolphins offensive line.

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:33.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, particularly in the way we play football. That you

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:39.120
<v Speaker 5>would be well, I've just had the fortune of being

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.640
<v Speaker 5>in the same system for eighteen years and in that

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:50.240
<v Speaker 5>process you learn that it's if you prejudge something early

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:55.879
<v Speaker 5>in the process and understanding how to truly execute this scheme.

0:20:56.240 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 5>If you take that as the if you take a

0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:04.840
<v Speaker 5>player in year one and forecast that as being how

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 5>he will be in the system, you're wrong way more

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 5>than you're right. So that uh, and then you just

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:19.719
<v Speaker 5>get so much invaluable information from each and every player

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 5>when you go through the through a journey of the

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 5>journey of a season. And in that you know, I know,

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 5>if we didn't have the right type of a combination

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 5>of people and uh skill set, we we wouldn't have

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:41.200
<v Speaker 5>just stay stayed steadfast or or the moves would probably

0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 5>be a lot different. I think you react to what

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:49.680
<v Speaker 5>people uh, you know, what people show you who they

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 5>are day in day out. In this in this circumstance,

0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 5>we had some some guys that were really buying in

0:21:56.720 --> 0:22:03.320
<v Speaker 5>that started to uh make plays in their perspective, roles

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:09.320
<v Speaker 5>and assignments, and you know, uh so you you you

0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 5>decide that, hey, no, I want to invest in these

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 5>in these guys more. Uh what I can say honestly

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:20.399
<v Speaker 5>from uh you know, hours upon hours upon hours of

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:26.199
<v Speaker 5>instruction and then evaluation, the group has really you know,

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.679
<v Speaker 5>proven proven the organization right into believe in believing in

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 5>them based upon how they are performing, which is, you know,

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:41.920
<v Speaker 5>I would what would be interesting is asking, uh, any

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 5>any you know veteran defensive linemen on the different versions

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 5>of of players that that you know, the different version

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:57.760
<v Speaker 5>of Leah Eikenberg when when we got here into where

0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 5>he is now, the different version of Austin Jackson. It

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:06.879
<v Speaker 5>goes across the board, and you know, I think it

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:12.080
<v Speaker 5>speaks to even Toront Armstead is feeling more confident in

0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:15.399
<v Speaker 5>his game than he ever has in his career. And

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 5>you're talking about one of those guys that's one of

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:20.920
<v Speaker 5>those super athletes that is the fastest o line ever

0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 5>Oligneman ever at the combine in where he's at in

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:30.439
<v Speaker 5>his game, feeling more confident in playing football than he

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 5>ever has in his career. That's because there's a group

0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:39.520
<v Speaker 5>of people diligently working at the craft, excited to make

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 5>a name for themselves under the current version of who

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 5>they are in twenty twenty four.

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 2>I want to finish up this segment with five soundbites,

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.480
<v Speaker 2>three from Liam Mikenberg, two from Lester Cotton. And the

0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:56.880
<v Speaker 2>question posed first here to Liam was what's your perspective

0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 2>on the idea that the Dolphins look for different things

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:01.960
<v Speaker 2>on the offensive line that other places across the National

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Football League. Here was the perspective from the Dolphins fourth

0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:07.160
<v Speaker 2>year offensive lineman who's played all five spots here.

0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:09.120
<v Speaker 7>I think it's all about being coachable. I think that's

0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 7>the biggest thing. I think a lot of guys on

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 7>the O line are used to kind of just being

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 7>like Malers and just grabbing guys.

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 4>And using like bruts shrine.

0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:21.359
<v Speaker 7>But I say, with this style of offense in like

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:25.440
<v Speaker 7>a wide zone, like you're talking about it, like, it's

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:27.919
<v Speaker 7>so important the technique and the fundamentals, and you need

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.120
<v Speaker 7>to be able to be coached into like the footwork

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 7>and also like your hand placement, head placement, and I

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.480
<v Speaker 7>think that is like the biggest key, you know what

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:41.320
<v Speaker 7>I mean. Obviously like athletic season matters, but I think

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 7>if you can't get down the get down, like the fundamentals,

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 7>it's gonna be hard.

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:48.159
<v Speaker 2>And that answer is why I think butcher Berry was

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.879
<v Speaker 2>so valuable and offers so much to the Dolphins franchise

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 2>because he harps on those every single day and we

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:58.880
<v Speaker 2>hear the players communicate how open he is to their

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:01.359
<v Speaker 2>ideas and their interpret pations of what the Dolphins you know,

0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 2>schemes and fundamentals are for an offensive lineman, and that

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:07.360
<v Speaker 2>collaboration has produced, you know, good results in the first

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 2>year under butch Berry. Let's go ahead and play one

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:15.159
<v Speaker 2>more line here from Liam Eichenberg, who was asked about

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.919
<v Speaker 2>the positive reinforcement he heard from Chris Career last week in

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 2>his press conference.

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 3>Here's Liam once again.

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:23.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, I think it's it's something we work

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.520
<v Speaker 7>on improving on every single day. I mean, if you

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 7>watch our individual I think we have a good group

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:30.920
<v Speaker 7>of guys who work hard. We care about the technique,

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:35.359
<v Speaker 7>the fundamentals, and like going out there and trying to

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:37.639
<v Speaker 7>improve every day and bringing a good attitude. And I

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 7>think it matters, you know. I think I think that's

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:41.640
<v Speaker 7>like the most important thing.

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:45.080
<v Speaker 3>You gotta love. Locker room audio don't you. Let's go

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:45.919
<v Speaker 3>ahead and finish up.

0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>One last SoundBite here from Liam when he was discussing

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:53.119
<v Speaker 2>kind of the internal confidence of this Dolphins offensive line room.

0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:56.480
<v Speaker 7>I think I know what we're capable of, and I'm not.

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:58.480
<v Speaker 7>I don't know if they're sleeping. I have no idea,

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.199
<v Speaker 7>but I know we're capable of. I know we did

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:04.440
<v Speaker 7>no ts and what we did in preseason and practice,

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:05.880
<v Speaker 7>and I'm looking forward.

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 4>To the season.

0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 2>So a couple of similar questions here for Lester Cotton.

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 2>The first one was asked, how is this line different

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:14.160
<v Speaker 2>than what you've done in the past in your career, college,

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:15.120
<v Speaker 2>pros or otherwise.

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 8>There's an offense, Butch and Mike and Frank, they're all

0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:24.080
<v Speaker 8>looking for runners. So in this in this on this team,

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:27.439
<v Speaker 8>you gotta bed and run. So your conditioner has to

0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:30.879
<v Speaker 8>be top tier. Like you can't, you know, because you

0:26:31.280 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 8>play like sixty plays a game, right, So you gotta

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:36.400
<v Speaker 8>be able to run for sixty plays. So that's that's

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:39.399
<v Speaker 8>that's all. That's how I see it. We're just his

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 8>offense is about running, So I just try to get

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 8>on my horse and run as fast as I can.

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 2>The follow up question there for Lester was a little

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:48.360
<v Speaker 2>bit louder than what he was saying, so I cut

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:49.720
<v Speaker 2>it off there. But he wants to run as fast

0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 2>as he can there, I didn't want to, you know,

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 2>get more loud audio into your guys' ears right there.

0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 2>He was then also asked about preferable weight and kind

0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:59.000
<v Speaker 2>of building your body for the system. And this is

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:01.679
<v Speaker 2>really good insight here, I thought from Lester Cotton, as.

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:04.160
<v Speaker 8>An alphas alma, you always want to adjust to the scheme.

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 8>So me coming from you know, duo scheme where it's

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 8>just you know, just wadle off the ball, and you

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 8>know what I'm saying, be heavy and fit.

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:14.159
<v Speaker 6>I could afford to.

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 8>Be ablet heavy. I have it from Crowns right. But

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:18.639
<v Speaker 8>now I done could a lot of weight, and so

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:21.160
<v Speaker 8>I'm just trying to do what my coach is asking

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 8>me to do and just try to do it as

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:23.800
<v Speaker 8>fast ability there if I can.

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to play those sound bites and run through

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 2>the stuff there from Lester because I just thought it

0:27:27.880 --> 0:27:31.399
<v Speaker 2>was really instructive, especially when you content or when you

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 2>consider where Lester was and what he showed in the

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:36.280
<v Speaker 2>preseason games this year, which looked pretty dang good to

0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 2>me versus you know, his first year in the system

0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:40.119
<v Speaker 2>when he was trying to get things down. So I

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 2>think it's worth, you know, investing in understanding the idea

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 2>of growth and continuity and chemistry on this offensive line.

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Last break right here, come back on the other side

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:52.440
<v Speaker 2>and run my interview with Seth Levit and OJ McDuffie

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:55.119
<v Speaker 2>talking about Fish Tank Iconic, which premiere is tomorrow night

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.600

0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Oj McDuffie. Seth, what's going on, man, it's been it's

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 2>been about a year now. We got to rectify that.

0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:19.919

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:21.560
<v Speaker 2>to get you guys back on more regularly. Here.

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:24.920

<v Speaker 9>him in the press box, we do the postgame show.

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 9>Why is it that it does take a year or

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 9>more for us to get on the drive time? He's

0:28:50.080 --> 0:28:50.760

<v Speaker 9>I mean, he's only doing a show every day, so

0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 9>it is tough to find to find an opportunity to

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 9>squeeze us in now.

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 3>To be fair, I have shoehorned a few of the

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 3>radio segments.

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 2>And so you guys, in spirit, your voices, thoughts are

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 2>on the show, maybe not live and in the flesh here,

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 2>but you know, I don't get a chance to ask

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 2>you guys questions to update those types of thoughts and takes,

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 2>but you're here, You're part of the podcast every single

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 2>every single year we do this.

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, thank you for that.

0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:32.480
<v Speaker 6>That was a great pr guy move. You might have

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 6>made a good guy.

0:29:33.840 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Real I've heard a few, you know, examples from yourself,

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 2>from Harvey Green, from you doing oh My Guy, and

0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 2>speaking of that, that's that's why we have you guys

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 2>here on the show today to promote, in my opinion,

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 2>the best project I've seen in my five years of

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:55.160
<v Speaker 2>doing Dolphins content for the organization, and first of all,

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 2>the concept. I mean, I don't want to say I'm

0:29:57.960 --> 0:29:59.560
<v Speaker 2>jealous that you thought of it before I did, Seth,

0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:01.880
<v Speaker 2>because I've had the thought in my mind. I just

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:05.680
<v Speaker 2>don't have nearly the you know, patience or time or

0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe even you.

0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 6>Know, Rea's just not an idiot like me. Yeah, that's

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:11.040
<v Speaker 6>what it is. But thank you.

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 2>But if you guys don't know by now, Fish Tank

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Iconic is producing this legendary, legendary piece of content recapping

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen ninety four season opener when the Dolphins beat

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 2>the New England Patriots in a shootout in a mud

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 2>soaked field with Dan Reno coming back off the Achilles

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 2>injury when not a lot of folks thought he could

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:30.560
<v Speaker 2>do it, and he sure as hell did it as

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:33.000
<v Speaker 2>he did his entire career. Seth I just want to

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 2>know about kind of the origins, the making of the

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 2>thoughts behind this project, and we'll go to Jews to

0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:40.800
<v Speaker 2>talk about that game in particular, but take us through

0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:43.479
<v Speaker 2>how this came to be and where you are now

0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 2>and maybe some of the bloods that sweat in tears

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 2>along the way.

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:48.600
<v Speaker 9>There's a lot of all of that. And thanks for

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 9>all the nice stuff you said. Man, We're very proud

0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 9>of this. We couldn't be any more exciting. And it's

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:56.600
<v Speaker 9>been well, really almost two years into making, but certainly

0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:59.320
<v Speaker 9>a year of effort that has been put into this.

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:04.360
<v Speaker 9>But it's a little bittersweet when you ask about the

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 9>origins of it, because especially the timing when just a

0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 9>few days ago we were recognizing Jason Jenkins and as

0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 9>all of us here would say, he was our champion

0:31:14.280 --> 0:31:17.000
<v Speaker 9>and he was the visionary behind the whole podcast network.

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:20.880
<v Speaker 9>But it was just a few weeks before we lost

0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:22.960
<v Speaker 9>Jason that he reached out to me all fired up

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 9>one day and he's like, all right, we're gonna have

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 9>a great year, and you're gonna get this guest, and

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 9>you're gonna get that guest. But you know, I want

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:30.360
<v Speaker 9>to think about years four and five, and six and

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:32.760
<v Speaker 9>where can we go? And how can the fish tank evolve?

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 9>And I don't want to change what you do, but

0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:36.000
<v Speaker 9>what other things can you do? I know you and

0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:38.280
<v Speaker 9>Juice have so much in your bag, and you know

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:40.560
<v Speaker 9>just in the magical way that he always made everybody

0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 9>feel so special. And so, you know, Juice and I

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:46.280
<v Speaker 9>put our heads together, and I threw some ideas around

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:50.320
<v Speaker 9>and threw a few things at Jason, and the one

0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 9>that I was most excited about, thankfully, was the one

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:53.480
<v Speaker 9>that he loved.

0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:56.920
<v Speaker 6>And he really loved it. And he's like, I don't

0:31:56.920 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 6>want to just do it. I want to make like

0:31:58.120 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 6>a movie.

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:00.880
<v Speaker 9>He's like, if I could fly you guys to you know,

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 9>if we're doing something on Zanka, I want to fly

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 9>to Alaska.

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 6>And he goes, but I don't have the budget for that.

0:32:05.040 --> 0:32:10.479
<v Speaker 6>But that's what is Yes, if anybody could find it, right,

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 6>But it was but the fact.

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:15.120
<v Speaker 9>That you know, I was very excited about this idea,

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 9>the fact that Juice was completely on board with this idea.

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:21.280
<v Speaker 9>And then when you pitch it and somebody gets even

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 9>as excited or more excited than you, I mean, it

0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:28.480
<v Speaker 9>only makes you want to deliver, right, And so that

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 9>was kind of the inspiration. But I had watched a

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:34.600
<v Speaker 9>couple different thirty for thirties. I won't say which one

0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 9>motivated me because it starred somebody that we have cheered

0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 9>against for a long long time.

0:32:39.320 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 6>But I saw a really well done.

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 9>Thirty for thirty, I said, why can't we make these

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:47.240
<v Speaker 9>kinds of films for the Dolphins, for our history, for

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:50.120
<v Speaker 9>the things that matter to us? And I don't mean

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:52.720
<v Speaker 9>just me and Juice and you, I mean anybody who

0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:55.880
<v Speaker 9>cheers for the Orange and aqua, right. And so that's

0:32:55.920 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 9>where Fish Tank Iconic was born. And then it was okay,

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 9>what are the iconic moments and a lot of times

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:05.479
<v Speaker 9>the low hanging fruit with the Dolphins, because there are

0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:07.760
<v Speaker 9>so many iconic moments, it's very easy to point to

0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:10.840
<v Speaker 9>the undefeated season. My gosh, what is more iconic than that?

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:14.000
<v Speaker 9>The eighty five Bears game the clock play was thrown

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:16.360
<v Speaker 9>at me. But I wanted to pick some games that

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:20.840
<v Speaker 9>were indeed iconic, but not necessarily covered as in depth

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:23.800
<v Speaker 9>or as often or as frequently as some of these

0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:27.200
<v Speaker 9>other moments. And this was the first one. I think

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:31.440
<v Speaker 9>it wasn't the most meaningful game from a competitive standpoint,

0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:33.760
<v Speaker 9>in Dan's career because it was a season opener, but

0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 9>my gosh, I think it might have been his finest

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:38.760
<v Speaker 9>performance in one of the most spectacular careers we've ever

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:41.440
<v Speaker 9>seen on the football field. So that's why we tackled

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 9>this and we're pumped up for people to see it.

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can't wait to get a chance to see

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 2>the full thing. I've seen the trailer you guys produced,

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 2>but I haven't seen the whole thing yet, So I'll

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 2>probably take it in live with the rest of the

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins world on Tuesday, September the third, is seven o'clock

0:33:56.960 --> 0:33:59.480
<v Speaker 2>on the Dolphins YouTube channel, so don't miss that. We'll

0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and say again at the end of the

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.800
<v Speaker 2>show here, but you know two thoughts that came to

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 2>mind when you were giving that answer, Seth was number one,

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:07.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm kind of this way as well, and

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:10.400
<v Speaker 2>I know that you are too, But the concept of

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:13.920
<v Speaker 2>making something like this is so difficult to finally back

0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:17.319
<v Speaker 2>away and say it's done, because you're such a perfectionist

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:19.440
<v Speaker 2>and these things, and like, I just imagine that that

0:34:19.600 --> 0:34:22.000
<v Speaker 2>was a labor of love for you at certain times.

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 2>And the second part for me was I remember when

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I had Irving Fryar back on Drive Time in twenty twenty,

0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:28.399
<v Speaker 2>and you know, this was kind of when the Last

0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Dance had just come out and there wasn't any sports,

0:34:30.480 --> 0:34:32.360
<v Speaker 2>and so we kind of were diving headfirst into the

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:35.279
<v Speaker 2>looking back stuff even on Drive Time to kind of

0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 2>get some throwback stuff.

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:37.719
<v Speaker 3>And you guys would come on talk about those games

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:38.960
<v Speaker 3>with me as well, and I'll.

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Never forget on the fourth down touchdown for Irving, I

0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:43.239
<v Speaker 2>was like, they gave you that outside release and he

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:46.160
<v Speaker 2>cut me off, he said they didn't give me ish.

0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:46.800
<v Speaker 4>I took it.

0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I took the outside release. If you're damn right you did, Irv,

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 2>And you did definitely did that. So I want to

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:55.000
<v Speaker 2>go to you here, Juice, because you know, a decent

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:57.399
<v Speaker 2>chunk of our fan base and our audience here maybe

0:34:57.600 --> 0:34:59.680
<v Speaker 2>wasn't alive in nineteen ninety four, and if they were,

0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:01.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe they weren't old enough to watch football.

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Why is this game so legendary From someone that was

0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:04.440
<v Speaker 3>a big part of it.

0:35:04.880 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'll tell you what, Travis. It's first of all,

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:10.440
<v Speaker 4>kudos is Seth in the team and Chris Clark and

0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:12.359
<v Speaker 4>those guys that put this piece together. I mean, it's

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:15.600
<v Speaker 4>it really is a remarkable piece. And Seth, you know

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:17.600
<v Speaker 4>he wants to give some credit to others, man, but

0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 4>he was I mean he was all over this project, man,

0:35:20.360 --> 0:35:23.279
<v Speaker 4>and you know, and put in a lot of work. Seth.

0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:26.839
<v Speaker 4>He doesn't sleep, Travis. The man does not sleep man.

0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:29.200
<v Speaker 4>And you know part of that is, you know, doing

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:32.200
<v Speaker 4>different projects. Man. This is really one of his babies

0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:35.040
<v Speaker 4>right here. I think just thinking back to the whole,

0:35:35.480 --> 0:35:38.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, nineteen ninety two, ninety three, ninety four, when

0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:40.879
<v Speaker 4>this game happened in ninety four, think about this team

0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:42.839
<v Speaker 4>in ninety two they went to the AFC Championship game

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 4>and how good they were. You know, think about the

0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:47.320
<v Speaker 4>team in nineteen ninety three that came back were pretty

0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:49.960
<v Speaker 4>much the same piece as parts on defense, added a

0:35:50.000 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 4>couple of guys like myself, Irban Friar, Terry Kirby, mark Ingram,

0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:56.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, on offense, and our offense was was was sweet.

0:35:57.360 --> 0:35:59.600
<v Speaker 4>And then Danny gets hurt in that game in Cleveland.

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:02.360
<v Speaker 4>We probably had our best chance, if anybody wants to

0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:03.799
<v Speaker 4>look back in here, so we probably had our best

0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:09.560
<v Speaker 4>chance of being unbelievable in that ninety three season. You know,

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:11.719
<v Speaker 4>we had the defense, the young defense. We had an

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:15.040
<v Speaker 4>offense we just revamped. Unfortunately, you know, Mark Clayton and

0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:17.440
<v Speaker 4>Mark Duper moved on at that point. But man, do

0:36:17.560 --> 0:36:19.759
<v Speaker 4>we have some firepower to go with that, you know,

0:36:19.800 --> 0:36:22.160
<v Speaker 4>to go with that defense. And so when Danny got

0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 4>hurt early in the season, I mean, it was it

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.080
<v Speaker 4>was catastrophic and literally, I mean it really was a

0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:29.680
<v Speaker 4>tough deal. We still got to like ninety two at

0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:32.960
<v Speaker 4>one point, you know, and then of course we had

0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:35.799
<v Speaker 4>a tough end, but we knew the loss of Dan

0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:39.120
<v Speaker 4>Marino was huge in what we were trying to accomplish.

0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 4>No slight to Scott Mitchell, who came in and did

0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:42.879
<v Speaker 4>a heck of a job, you know, leading and set

0:36:42.920 --> 0:36:45.520
<v Speaker 4>the end of that season. But man if Dan Marino

0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:47.920
<v Speaker 4>only about ten years in at that point, could have

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:49.800
<v Speaker 4>had an opportunity to finish out that season.

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:50.480
<v Speaker 6>We had.

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 4>I thought we had the best opportunity to be as

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:55.400
<v Speaker 4>special as any other team has been here, you know,

0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 4>other than Seth talked about beforehand the seventy two team.

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:00.880
<v Speaker 4>So going into the next seat, and it was all

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:03.560
<v Speaker 4>about can we get Danny back. You know, look, I'm

0:37:03.560 --> 0:37:06.960
<v Speaker 4>a rookie in ninety three. I get drafted down to

0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 4>Miami and Dann Marino gets hurt, you know, the beginning

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 4>of my career. I mean, come on, man, it wasn't

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 4>me that you know that, Jason a little bit, but

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:19.920
<v Speaker 4>the whole thing was could Danny get back to being Danny?

0:37:19.960 --> 0:37:22.239
<v Speaker 4>And we all watched him and practically watching him go

0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:24.360
<v Speaker 4>through his rehab, We watched him go through all this stuff.

0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:27.239
<v Speaker 4>Could Danny get back to being Danny? And uh, you know,

0:37:27.280 --> 0:37:29.640
<v Speaker 4>it was a rough start, honestly, you know, the rehab

0:37:29.760 --> 0:37:32.839
<v Speaker 4>process was rough. But we knew that we needed Danny

0:37:32.880 --> 0:37:34.319
<v Speaker 4>to be Danny in order for us to be who

0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:37.000
<v Speaker 4>we wanted to be. And sure enough, sure enough, man,

0:37:37.040 --> 0:37:40.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, coming back in that season, rough off season,

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:43.600
<v Speaker 4>rough preseason, and that game meant the world to all

0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:45.880
<v Speaker 4>of us. Man, not only just you know, because of

0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:48.360
<v Speaker 4>what you know, like talk about playing in the division,

0:37:48.719 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 4>but we knew what it meant to Danny, and you know,

0:37:50.840 --> 0:37:52.120
<v Speaker 4>we wanted him to go out there and be the

0:37:52.200 --> 0:37:55.400
<v Speaker 4>best version of himself. And he didn't disappoint. He did

0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 4>not disappoint. And for me, you know, it was a

0:37:57.760 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 4>rough game for me because of the mud, because of

0:37:59.560 --> 0:38:01.879
<v Speaker 4>the sit you but man, to see him go out

0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:05.320
<v Speaker 4>there and exercise the demons out there. It was, it was.

0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:06.520
<v Speaker 4>It was truly awesome.

0:38:06.560 --> 0:38:08.879
<v Speaker 3>Bro. Some of those darts that he threw.

0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:10.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean I can still picture them in my mind

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:13.120
<v Speaker 2>today on you know, grainy VHS footage that I have

0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:14.000
<v Speaker 2>available of that.

0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 6>Game just ripped ovailable too, by the way.

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's such a flashback to a different era.

0:38:20.360 --> 0:38:22.000
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Juice, you kind of touched on there,

0:38:22.040 --> 0:38:23.600
<v Speaker 2>But I want to follow up and ask you about

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:26.879
<v Speaker 2>the mindset of a young receiver who you know, has

0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:29.680
<v Speaker 2>the expectations of a first round pick who got you know,

0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:32.120
<v Speaker 2>a handful of games with Danny in that first season,

0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:36.760
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, your financial well being, your legacy

0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:38.799
<v Speaker 2>as a pro is kind of on the line when

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:41.279
<v Speaker 2>your star quarterback goes down, right, because nobody knows what

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:42.919
<v Speaker 2>you have in the backup quarterback most of the time.

0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:45.919
<v Speaker 2>Take us through your headspace when you're coming back into

0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:48.719
<v Speaker 2>that season from the standpoint of is my guy going

0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:51.759
<v Speaker 2>to be around to you know, help me maximize my

0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:52.720
<v Speaker 2>career as a Dolphin.

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:56.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know what, man, it's a that's a great question, Travis.

0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, we're all, you know, playing the ultimate team sport.

0:38:58.400 --> 0:39:01.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, quote unquote, and when it comes to football,

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:06.600
<v Speaker 4>that QB one is critical to your success. It really is, man.

0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 4>And you know, like we talked about, talk a little

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:10.880
<v Speaker 4>bit about Scott Mitchell, but there's no other Damn Marino

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:13.120
<v Speaker 4>in the world. I mean, there really isn't. And when

0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:16.240
<v Speaker 4>you've got Dann Marino at the helm and you're counting

0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 4>on him to do things for everybody on the football team,

0:39:19.320 --> 0:39:22.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, I mean leading the whole the whole group offense, defense,

0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:25.360
<v Speaker 4>special teams. But we all knew that he was the

0:39:25.400 --> 0:39:28.520
<v Speaker 4>straw that stirred to drink for the whole team. And

0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:30.799
<v Speaker 4>so for me, like you know, talking about coming out

0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:36.319
<v Speaker 4>of draft, like, hell, man, I'm Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, you know, Philadelphia.

0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:39.280
<v Speaker 4>What I get? I get Miami Dolphins and Dan Marino.

0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:41.799
<v Speaker 4>I mean, come on, you couldn't ask for a better

0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:44.719
<v Speaker 4>situation for a receiver than to go to Miami and

0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 4>play with Da Marino or play with Dan Marino. And

0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:49.200
<v Speaker 4>so it was, it was. It was tough, man. It

0:39:49.320 --> 0:39:50.879
<v Speaker 4>was tough to see him go down, for one, because

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:52.800
<v Speaker 4>you know how hard he worked at the all season

0:39:53.440 --> 0:39:55.640
<v Speaker 4>in the ninety three season, and we knew how we

0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:57.960
<v Speaker 4>were rolling at that point. Man, the team was feeling

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:00.759
<v Speaker 4>real good about themselves at that point, and so, yeah,

0:40:00.800 --> 0:40:03.800
<v Speaker 4>you worried about your livelihood, but you're a more importantly

0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:05.800
<v Speaker 4>worry about Danny and you know how his legacy is

0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:07.160
<v Speaker 4>going to be and how he's going to finish his

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:09.400
<v Speaker 4>career and if he could come back from such a

0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:10.320
<v Speaker 4>devastated injury.

0:40:11.040 --> 0:40:14.200
<v Speaker 2>How about the fan perspective, big seth, because I imagine today,

0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:17.000
<v Speaker 2>if you know, Tua goes down with an achilles injury

0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:18.160
<v Speaker 2>and we have to spend.

0:40:18.000 --> 0:40:20.000
<v Speaker 6>The cool seasons, don't talk like that.

0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:21.480
<v Speaker 3>If we have to spend the.

0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Whole year, you know, watching a backup quarterback and then

0:40:24.520 --> 0:40:26.600
<v Speaker 2>hoping that next year he can come back. I can't

0:40:26.640 --> 0:40:29.600
<v Speaker 2>imagine those fourteen months or whatever would be on social

0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:32.320
<v Speaker 2>media of back and forth. What was the sentimental like

0:40:32.440 --> 0:40:35.120
<v Speaker 2>around around Dolphins fans albeit you know, in the pre

0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:37.480
<v Speaker 2>social media era, what was that like for you as

0:40:37.480 --> 0:40:38.399
<v Speaker 2>a Dolphins fan scene?

0:40:38.520 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, the demand go down?

0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:42.719
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean devastating.

0:40:42.920 --> 0:40:45.320
<v Speaker 9>You know, you'll hear some of the guys that we

0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:47.840
<v Speaker 9>spoke with talk about it was like the sky had fallen.

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:51.000
<v Speaker 9>I used the term Superman fell from the sky, you know,

0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:52.960
<v Speaker 9>I mean that really was was like, wait a second,

0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:55.400
<v Speaker 9>how is Superman laying on the ground. That's what it

0:40:55.480 --> 0:40:57.640
<v Speaker 9>felt like. And the other thing I have to remember

0:40:57.800 --> 0:41:03.040
<v Speaker 9>is Dan Marino's rookie year was nineteen ninety nineteen eighty three,

0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:06.320
<v Speaker 9>So now you're talking nineteen ninety three. It wasn't like

0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:07.960
<v Speaker 9>he was in his fourth year and he's going to

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:11.320
<v Speaker 9>bounce back and we see, you know, you know Jalen Phillips,

0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:13.399
<v Speaker 9>that we see the way he's recovering, and he looks

0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 9>like talk about Superman, right, I mean, he just looks

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:19.400
<v Speaker 9>like he was built from a lab, as you like

0:41:19.480 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 9>to say. But this was a guy who was in

0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:25.960
<v Speaker 9>his eleventh season and it had knee surgeries and wasn't

0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:30.080
<v Speaker 9>exactly you know, the arm Juicy said all the time,

0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:33.080
<v Speaker 9>I'm hearing everything that was in the documentary now, but

0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:36.600
<v Speaker 9>the arm was always golden. But the body did everything

0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:39.080
<v Speaker 9>it could to get ready for Sundays. And so for

0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:42.919
<v Speaker 9>Dan to have an injury like that at that era

0:41:43.120 --> 0:41:46.120
<v Speaker 9>where we didn't have the science, the technology, the rehab,

0:41:46.239 --> 0:41:49.879
<v Speaker 9>all of the things that were there, and he had

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:52.759
<v Speaker 9>some issues in recovering as well. There were some things

0:41:52.800 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 9>that they had to go back in and do and

0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:57.480
<v Speaker 9>address and so on. So it was I mean, you

0:41:57.600 --> 0:41:59.919
<v Speaker 9>kind of held your breath and you never ever thought

0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:02.120
<v Speaker 9>that the Dolphins would ever play a game again without

0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:05.400
<v Speaker 9>Dan Marino. And then it hit in the face that that,

0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:08.080
<v Speaker 9>wait a second, maybe they'll never play another game with him.

0:42:08.440 --> 0:42:11.160
<v Speaker 9>So all of that led to the build up to

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:13.759
<v Speaker 9>this game, and that's one of the things that was

0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:14.640
<v Speaker 9>so special about it.

0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 6>The game. Rarely does a game live up to the

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:20.239
<v Speaker 6>build up when we what.

0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:24.120
<v Speaker 9>Is probably in this team's that this current generation's team

0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:26.120
<v Speaker 9>with the game that jumps out at everybody is the

0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 9>Baltimore game, the comeback to a throwing six touchdowns, He's

0:42:29.200 --> 0:42:32.239
<v Speaker 9>got hell that all of that stuff. No one going

0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:34.920
<v Speaker 9>into that game expected that it would be a game

0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:37.040
<v Speaker 9>that got people will talk about thirty years from now.

0:42:37.400 --> 0:42:40.000
<v Speaker 9>But this game had all of the build up it had,

0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:41.680
<v Speaker 9>you know, we just put it in the promo. You

0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:46.279
<v Speaker 9>had Parcels against Shula, You had two new owners in

0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:51.880
<v Speaker 9>Heisinga and Craft, and then certainly you know Dan Marino

0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:53.839
<v Speaker 9>and could he come back with the young gun going

0:42:53.840 --> 0:42:56.759
<v Speaker 9>against the young Gunslinger and Drew Bledsoe. So all of

0:42:56.880 --> 0:43:00.520
<v Speaker 9>those factors were there heading into this game. Build up

0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:05.000
<v Speaker 9>was there and somehow the actual performance exceeded the hype.

0:43:05.360 --> 0:43:06.479
<v Speaker 9>That doesn't happen often.

0:43:07.120 --> 0:43:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I want to finish up with you guys here about

0:43:08.960 --> 0:43:12.400
<v Speaker 2>the making of because Seth you touched on it with

0:43:12.760 --> 0:43:14.600
<v Speaker 2>you know just how much went into this and how

0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:18.399
<v Speaker 2>many people did you talk to to get testimonials from.

0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:21.680
<v Speaker 9>I don't know if it was sixteen seventeen. I mean

0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:24.279
<v Speaker 9>it's quite a list. So you know, first of all,

0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:27.120
<v Speaker 9>ain't tell me you have Dan Marino. It's already You've

0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:29.279
<v Speaker 9>got a home run there. But so you got Dan

0:43:29.360 --> 0:43:31.520
<v Speaker 9>Marino and Juice, you know that we were going to

0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:34.399
<v Speaker 9>be fine. We got Drew Bledsoe. I mean, how cool

0:43:34.520 --> 0:43:37.160
<v Speaker 9>was it for Anne Nolan to reach out to Stacy

0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:40.040
<v Speaker 9>James at the Patriots and Drew was like, I can't

0:43:40.040 --> 0:43:42.120
<v Speaker 9>wait to talk about that game. He was incredible. This

0:43:42.200 --> 0:43:44.600
<v Speaker 9>would not have been the same without Drew Bledsoe's voice

0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:47.719
<v Speaker 9>in it. Of course, you mentioned Irving Friar. IRV might

0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:48.560
<v Speaker 9>have stole the show.

0:43:48.680 --> 0:43:49.319
<v Speaker 3>You know, he was.

0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:54.839
<v Speaker 9>Was it iceman to Danny's Maverick in this thing? I mean,

0:43:54.920 --> 0:43:58.440
<v Speaker 9>he was the ultimate wingman in this game and certainly

0:43:58.520 --> 0:44:01.360
<v Speaker 9>in this interview. But it wasn't just the guys on

0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:04.120
<v Speaker 9>the field, and Terry Kirby and Richmond Webb and Jeff Allen.

0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:06.480
<v Speaker 9>I mean, all those guys were there and were great

0:44:06.640 --> 0:44:08.719
<v Speaker 9>in this, but it was also the people that were

0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:09.279
<v Speaker 9>around it.

0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:10.440
<v Speaker 6>My former boss.

0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:12.720
<v Speaker 9>You hear Harvey Green in the promo. I mean, Harvey

0:44:12.800 --> 0:44:16.040
<v Speaker 9>was incredible. Tony Eguist does his effort to steal the show,

0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:18.160
<v Speaker 9>you know, his equipment manager and talks about what he

0:44:18.239 --> 0:44:21.239
<v Speaker 9>had to do just to strap the mud out of Danny's.

0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:23.400
<v Speaker 6>Cleats between every series.

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:27.160
<v Speaker 9>So Jim Lampley, you know who called the game for NBC,

0:44:27.360 --> 0:44:30.080
<v Speaker 9>Bill's infer who called the game was his first Can

0:44:30.120 --> 0:44:32.880
<v Speaker 9>you imagine you talked about Travis your first experience. So

0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:36.399
<v Speaker 9>Bill's infor comes from Penn State. Shout out the Penn

0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:38.719
<v Speaker 9>State choose But you guys ran in a different style

0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:41.040
<v Speaker 9>of offense. You are a great blocking receiver because of

0:44:41.080 --> 0:44:43.440
<v Speaker 9>your Penn State experience, right, I mean we can't argue that.

0:44:43.920 --> 0:44:46.799
<v Speaker 9>And so Bill's infor comes from Penn State, he shows up,

0:44:46.840 --> 0:44:49.520
<v Speaker 9>gets his first NFL job, and the first game that

0:44:49.640 --> 0:44:52.480
<v Speaker 9>he calls in the NFL is this. I mean, could

0:44:52.480 --> 0:44:55.880
<v Speaker 9>you imagine that? So Bill was great on this. Greg Cody,

0:44:56.080 --> 0:45:00.239
<v Speaker 9>who was one of the most public doubters of maybe

0:45:00.280 --> 0:45:02.760
<v Speaker 9>not necessarily doubting Dan if you actually have the conversation

0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:05.040
<v Speaker 9>with Greg, but wondering if it's time.

0:45:04.960 --> 0:45:07.200
<v Speaker 6>To move on. And he said that, and he's lived

0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:08.440
<v Speaker 6>with that column to this day.

0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:12.880
<v Speaker 9>Dave Hye, Mike Mayos, So, all of these voices are important,

0:45:13.120 --> 0:45:15.360
<v Speaker 9>and I think when you're doing a project like this,

0:45:15.520 --> 0:45:18.400
<v Speaker 9>what I've come to learn is that you need to

0:45:18.480 --> 0:45:21.000
<v Speaker 9>hear every perspective. We all remember fourth and five, we

0:45:21.080 --> 0:45:23.520
<v Speaker 9>all remember the Mud, but what else was going on

0:45:23.719 --> 0:45:26.080
<v Speaker 9>that day? And I think that's what we tried to

0:45:26.200 --> 0:45:30.120
<v Speaker 9>capture here and then. While you'll never hear his voice,

0:45:30.719 --> 0:45:34.279
<v Speaker 9>Juice mentioned him earlier. Chris Clark, who edited this and

0:45:34.440 --> 0:45:38.400
<v Speaker 9>essentially co directed and co wrote the Thing with Me,

0:45:39.200 --> 0:45:42.040
<v Speaker 9>is a star of this show as well. I have

0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:44.040
<v Speaker 9>to say that because the work that he put in

0:45:44.400 --> 0:45:47.640
<v Speaker 9>and his gift for telling stories visually in this way,

0:45:49.080 --> 0:45:51.440
<v Speaker 9>he's definitely now a third member of the fish tank,

0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:52.279
<v Speaker 9>whether he likes it or not.

0:45:53.960 --> 0:45:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I love that.

0:45:55.000 --> 0:45:56.839
<v Speaker 2>By the way, the reason I was giggling there Juice

0:45:56.880 --> 0:45:59.800
<v Speaker 2>that entire time was because when Seth mentioned Drew BLEDSOE

0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:00.600
<v Speaker 2>was about.

0:46:00.400 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 3>To hit you with the go Koogs and then for you,

0:46:04.760 --> 0:46:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Jews got the we are before I could get in.

0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:10.360
<v Speaker 6>Trying to give you guys both a little bit of

0:46:10.400 --> 0:46:12.160
<v Speaker 6>love that's just.

0:46:12.239 --> 0:46:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Too freaking good.

0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:15.080
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, man, you know I want to I want

0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:17.120
<v Speaker 2>to put a bowl on this and conclude with what

0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I talked about with you guys last night via text.

0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:21.520
<v Speaker 3>You know this is gonna be awesome. I can't wait

0:46:21.560 --> 0:46:21.920
<v Speaker 3>to see it.

0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:23.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited that I get a chance to watch it

0:46:23.800 --> 0:46:25.279
<v Speaker 2>with our fan base, you know, when it rolls out,

0:46:25.280 --> 0:46:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to see it before that, so

0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking forward to that.

0:46:28.360 --> 0:46:30.640
<v Speaker 9>On what do you say we all live tweet if

0:46:30.640 --> 0:46:32.719
<v Speaker 9>you're gonna watch it in real time at seven pm?

0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:33.839
<v Speaker 6>Do you like that? All right?

0:46:33.880 --> 0:46:35.840
<v Speaker 9>So if you're listening to Drive Time, which is like

0:46:36.440 --> 0:46:39.920
<v Speaker 9>everybody it listens to Drive Time. So so Jews, Travis

0:46:40.000 --> 0:46:41.960
<v Speaker 9>and I we will live tweet during this. We'll try

0:46:42.000 --> 0:46:43.680
<v Speaker 9>not to bother Travis too much because he hasn't seen

0:46:43.719 --> 0:46:45.520
<v Speaker 9>it yet. Juice and I actually know what's going to happen,

0:46:45.840 --> 0:46:46.440
<v Speaker 9>so you.

0:46:46.719 --> 0:46:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Can forecast ahead for you guys. But now I'm gonna

0:46:48.600 --> 0:46:51.160
<v Speaker 2>take it a live and hopefully my kids allow that

0:46:51.239 --> 0:46:54.640
<v Speaker 2>to happen. At anock, which is usually usually go time

0:46:54.760 --> 0:46:55.399
<v Speaker 2>around the house.

0:46:56.480 --> 0:46:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Right, exactly right.

0:46:57.960 --> 0:46:59.680
<v Speaker 2>But what I to conclude, I just wanted to tell

0:46:59.680 --> 0:47:01.239
<v Speaker 2>you guys, same thing I told you via text, like

0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:04.040
<v Speaker 2>you should be very very very proud of this project.

0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:06.840
