From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:17.720 Training Complex. This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's my 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:27.600 hands in the playoffs. What is up? 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:31.640 Dolphins? And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. I am 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.880 your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, we're taking 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.800 a look back at the weekend's rookie mini camp, breaking 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.600 down the brief portion of practice we were allowed to watch. 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.280 Plus we'll hear from the draft picks and the udfas 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:46.800 and I'll give you guys my film notes on the 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.160 entire class of the twelve undrafted free agents for your 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.840 Miami Dolphins. From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.560 Health Training Complex. This is the Draft Time Podcast. Ye 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.720 daffi first rookie Mini camp in the books and now 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.880 it's back to OTAs where the rookies incorporate with their 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.000 new teammates for the first time. And I am excited 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.000 about this podcast because I have some notes on the guys, 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.960 my observation from the viewing period of practice, and some 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.720 soundbites that kind of affirm some of those thoughts or 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.800 help you guys get to know those players. It feels 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.640 a lot like a training camp podcast today, so those 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.160 of you that love those episodes, and quite frankly, I 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.000 believe that's where I'm at my very best. That's what 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.479 you're gonna get here on this edition of the Draft 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.199 Time podcast. I know I say this all the time, 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.200 but there is definitely a singular vision for what we 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.760 look for in players here. We talked about that with 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.080 Emery hunt right, the vision of speed on offense as 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.840 a way to maximize and exploit the space that you create. 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.840 But remember football player first, and the speed is just 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.160 a nice bonus that goes along with that. And then 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:02.160 on defense, all these guys having just insane, insane getoffs 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.440 off the football, like Chop Robinson being two to one 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.519 hundreds of a second off the all time Edge ten 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.000 split record at one five to four, or Mo Kamara 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.959 being just eight one hundreds of a second off of 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.359 that mark, both faster than some of the game's best 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.960 rushers from an explosive first step standpoint, but it goes 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.040 so much further beyond that. It's the type of people 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.120 which you'll pick up from these soundbites, and in fact, 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.360 Patrick Paul was asked, what's the most surprising thing about 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.480 coming to Miami so far, and he said just how 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.320 nice everybody is. And he was like, not that that 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.639 was my expectation. They're going to be rude. But I 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.440 think sometimes in these environments you can maybe think it's 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.880 not going to be so rainbows and sunshine, and that 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.120 just makes it so much more comfortable to fit into 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.639 the locker room to the cafeteria, to the meeting room 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.640 to the practice field. It's nice to have like minded, 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.200 nice people that can help that transition go a little 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:03.320 more smoothly. But they're good people, right, studious people, effective communicators, 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.640 And I have a great Mo Kamara story for y'all. 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.840 Let's go ahead and start here first with the pick 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.519 before Mo Kamara and Jalen Wright, who the more I 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.120 go back and study, the more I see him in 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:19.760 person just the one time. Gosh, the vision sure is clear. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:24.760 And this kind of piggybacks off of the six hundred 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:29.119 Points podcast I did talking about my hope and expectation 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.280 this team cannot just average thirty points per game this 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.440 year but score one hundred more with some of the 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.400 errors that occurred last year to prevent them getting that 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.400 mark and threatened for the all time single season scoring 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.360 record and score thirty five plus points per game. And 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.080 Kyle Krab's, the great host of the Lockdown Dolphins podcast 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.440 frequent guest here of Drivetime, tweeted this after jalen Wright 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.280 got picked by Miami, that he was upset with himself 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:56.600 for not recognizing the obvious fit and accordingly mocking jalen 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.400 Wright to Miami, Man, that happens all the time. It's 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.360 tough to get through four hundred plus prospects whatever you 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.320 want to watch and find all the hits and fits. 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.840 It happened to me this year, even with a guy 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.400 like right, I didn't even watch most of the running 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.120 backs that much this year, and I missed a guy 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.119 right in my face because of that. So jalen Wright 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:18.360 to me, man, first of all, football is strictly about space, right, 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.760 How all of team sports are about space, and it's 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.640 creating and maximizing space. You know the extra pass in basketball, right, 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.440 making runs through balls in soccer, play action and vertical 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.520 routes threatening the roof of the defense and football to 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.279 create space for the running game. And that's where we'd 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.240 end on. Because jalen Wright has this inherent feel for 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:43.280 space and the timing required to maximize said space. And 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:49.239 that is multifold twofold, threefold. First, the Dolphins offensive attack 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.520 is all married together. None of the plays they run 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.960 are exclusive from each other. Run and pass, and the 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.160 perimeter runs that you see this team execute sets up 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.640 so much of the rest of the offense. Think about 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.239 those Jets games when Raheem Moster gets on the perimeter, 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.480 stretches things out, sees the gap, and hits the gap 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.200 with conviction. The combination of speed and power allows him 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.800 to run through arm tackles and then it's four to 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.400 three speed, just chewing up yards with each step. You 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.039 have to get more vertical, you have to get better angles. 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.160 And by the time you do that, you lightady, you 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.280 might have already surrendered an eight yard run to Raheem, 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.000 or to DeVaan, or to Jalen. And that's why Jalen 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.360 himself thinks this offense is a great fit for him. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.440 Just the way that they like to create space for 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.000 the running backs and you know, space for everybody. You know, 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.600 they got the receivers to spread everybody out, you know, 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.159 to make the defenses drop back and coverages and stuff 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.960 like that, and you know it just makes it better 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.560 for from the running backs. So I mean just the 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.520 system and everything we do, I mean, I feel like 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:49.520 it's perfect for this. 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.760 And you see it in the way he attacks space 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.440 in the open field with two converging defenders. He just 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.840 keeps his foot on the gas and it makes for 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.240 a tougher target to square up, and it allows him 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.640 to stay on balance and maintain speed through those arm 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.800 tackles that wind up deflecting off of him, kind of 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.119 like you saw with Ricky Williams. But I'll go ahead 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.840 and make it a more applicable comparison to Raheem Moster, 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:17.840 who linear yardage accumulation. Right, that's something Mike McDaniel talks 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.960 about with Raheem Moster. And we're gonna play some sound 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.040 here in just one second from right talking about a 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.760 player who he studied in college. Spoiler, it's Raheem Moster. 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.560 And the ability to get vertical and to run to 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.360 space is such a critical element of how they want 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.320 to teach things for the Dolphins and how you maximize 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.560 yardage for a running back or anybody with the football 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.560 in their hands. So I think that he inherently possesses 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.080 that trait. The way Devon h Cham possessed that trait 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.040 and the way Raheem Moster possesses that trait. Let's go 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.239 ahead and hear the SoundBite from Jalen Wright talking about 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.560 the running back he studied the most in college. 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.599 I mean, Raheem somebody I've studied watching film back in college. 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.720 I mean he's a guy. I mean I've been knowing them, 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.120 you know what I'm saying from years from now. So 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.920 just for I'm saying that, I mean interesting, lot, puts 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.160 a lot, you know, puts puts a morn feeling on 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.000 me that you know what I'm saying, Welcome and you know, 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.600 I'm just raiding to meet those guys and you know, 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:08.520 just work with himself. 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.200 And then here is what he likes about Raheem Mostert's game. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:12.640 Just the way he's you know what I'm saying. He's 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.600 fast and physical. Uh, it's great contact balance. You know, 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.679 somebody a solusive you know what I'm saying. Somebody who's 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.720 just just really good. I mean in the open space. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.120 I mean he gets scary. I mean I was just 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.040 watching the tape. Uh, watched some tape of him when 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.240 he was on the sideline. He hopped on the sideline 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.440 and still scored. So I mean, just stuff like that. 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.600 You know, it's being a player he is. You know, 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.400 he's a great player, great athlete. I'm ready to learn 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:34.760 from him. 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.000 And then this part is where I knew it was 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.800 not lip service. That was a third quarter touchdown late 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.600 in a blowout game against the Carolina Panthers, So you 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.600 know he's grinding the tape to find that stuff. Additionally, 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.720 back to the idea of running to space. At mini camp, 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.040 I saw him go through individuals and then eventually some 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.119 team work that our social team caught and put on Twitter. 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.440 But I alluded to his jump cut ability. This is 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.720 a guy that enters the front side B gap. So 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.720 in your outside zone, which is the entire premise of 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.960 this Dolphins offense, right, you press the B gap, which 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.960 is the gap between the tackle and the guard or 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.640 the yeah, the tackle and the guard, and ideally the 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.320 outside zone game threatens the D gap out at the 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.800 tight end. But this is for example's sake, to tell 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.840 you how quick his jump cut is. You can press 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.680 that front side B gap and then you have the 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:23.880 A gap next to the center and the guard, the 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.800 other A gap next to the center and the other 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.120 guard and then your other B gap next to the 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.319 other guard and tackle right. It's three gaps away, so 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.760 he can press that front side B gap, get the 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.839 defense to overflow and overrun the play, and then, like 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:39.520 we saw so many the big runs of the Dolphins 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.360 the last couple of years, he jumps it back against 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.480 the grain and comes out of the trash. He goes 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.559 into it from the one B gap and comes out 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.640 of it from the other B gap and it doesn't 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.559 really require any deceleration. And I told the video staff like, 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.360 I'm so glad you guys found that clip and put 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.480 it on social because it one it makes me look 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.959 smart for confirming what I talked about, but two, it 0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.679 shows the fans what I'm talking about and gives you 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.079 a vision dual element to go along with this. And 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.559 there's like no deceleration, and all the video guys like, 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.960 I can't believe how fast he was. I can't believe 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.880 we captured that. Because of how fast he was, he 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.000 can gap jump and not decelerate, And I mean, my goodness, 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:17.920 I hope you guys understand how great, how valuable of 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.400 a fit that is not just in the National Football League, 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.440 but in this offense in particular, it not only creates yards, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.760 it actuates everything that makes this offense special. It really 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.240 solidifies what they're trying to accomplish. Stretch the defense out, 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.440 create holes, make them defend the entire field. Exploit those 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.520 holes with a physical downhill runner who, by the way, 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.880 if you don't make a decision quick right now, you're 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:44.520 gonna be looking at as tell lights as he crosses 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.520 the goal line for a long touchdown running. You can 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.280 do that both with the wine back run, or you 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.000 can parlay it into future reps where you pull the 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.599 ball out of the belly of the back and we 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.920 play action that b I almost said the word here 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.880 on a family friendly podcast. Then attack those windows with 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.520 the most accurate quarterback in the NFL. Oh and, by 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.959 the way, the best wide receiver duo, and now with Beckham, 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.959 the best top three receivers in the entire national football Like, 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.160 this is the basis for how you scored five hundred points, 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.000 for how you gained seven thousand yards last year. Routing 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.079 up of course, but it is guys, I'm telling you 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.280 this player, this vision, this dedication to the running game, 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.079 and these particular backs, these three top guys Moster A 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:30.640 Chan and Jalen Wright. Just watch I'm telling you right now, 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.400 just watch last one here from right. What does it 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.280 mean that Devon A Chan was able to come in 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.280 and be so productive right away? And how do you 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.160 feel that sets you up for your rookie season? Here 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:41.640 is Jalen Right, I mean. 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:42.880 It tells me that he has a lot of trust 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.280 in the guys. I mean, it tells me that he's drafting, well, 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.480 he's drafting somebody. He's doing it for a reason, and 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.520 I feel like he's I mean, I'm somebody that that 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.880 he trusted. I'm ready to prove my prove my point 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.400 in the field. You know, I'm saying to gain that trust, 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.640 gain the trust not only from the coaches, but my 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:58.400 teammates as well. 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.319 So I'm just ready really play. 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.400 And McDaniel and Greer both loved Devon a Chen Right. 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.000 Mike talks about it all the time about the play 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.880 that he first showed or was first exposed to a 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.800 Chan from Greer saying like, you're gonna love this kid 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.439 based on this rep ray here, and he was right. 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.040 It's a similar sense with Jalen Right. This was a 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.640 team that didn't have any high or even mid round 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.640 draft picks on the roster. You guys know what the 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.200 deal was. And I've seen complaints out there who are 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.600 now complaining about using two high picks on running backs. 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.080 But I digress. That's not what this podcast is about today. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.439 It's about telling you why the Jaalen right selection makes 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:35.920 this offense even better than it already was. It's because 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.360 they for years it was you know, Miles Gaskin and 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.480 Savon Akman, very fine complimentary players, right or Patrick Laird, 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.160 a guy that couldn't play in the league quite frankly, 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.199 that's why he's not in the league anymore. But now 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.120 you go up and you get these guys because because 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.920 of what I'm talking about right now is exactly what 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.840 Mike McDaniel envisions with his offense, a team that can 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.719 run the football and build off that running game so 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.520 that the pass game up with that as well. I 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.160 mean it just they finally spend a three on a 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:04.760 guy last year and he goes off and averages eight 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.000 yards per carry. Now you do it again on another guy. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.440 What do you think is gonna happen? What you're running 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.280 around with sche mask blowing stuff up? What did you 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.319 think was going to happen. That's a fight Club reference 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.440 right there for you guys. I think what's gonna happen 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.520 is we're gonna have another ricky running back who takes 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.120 league by storm. That's it. That's it, guys, make them 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.559 defend the whole field. Both these guys have exceptional vision 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.640 to press certain gaps and get the defense into the 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.760 widen gaps and then have the unique ability to slam 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.360 back against the grain and basically set up better angles 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.439 and better blocks for those guys down the field. I 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.760 what are we at eleven twelve minutes here in the podcast. 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.319 I'm so fired up for this running back. He is 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.400 gonna make a big difference as a full year of 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.920 Devon eight. Chan will do the exact same thing. And 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.200 by the way, don't forget about Raheem Mostert because he's 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.079 still here and he's still fantastic too. Let's go ahead 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.400 and stay here on offense and finish up the first 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:57.000 portion of the podcast with offensive tackle Patrick Paul, who 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.720 was asked about an area of focus for him during 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:01.720 this it's Rickey many camp and the whole off season. 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:03.719 It's a good thing, he said this, because this is 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.800 what his game needs. The most. It's hand usage. 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.480 Ah, my hand usage. So that's a big emphasis. And 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.439 I'm gonna get with, you know, coach Butch, and we're 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:11.920 gonna harp on it every single day. 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.160 And that's what the draft guide knocks. We're talking about 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.600 with him right, He can't he's he catches too much, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.880 doesn't punch. He widens the hands and throws the hands 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.959 out wide to the block, and it generates holding calls, 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.040 it generates bad technique, it generates bad balance, And both 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.520 Mike and Chris talked about refining the technique and how 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.400 good that Patrick Paul is even when the technique's not right, 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.839 And quite frankly, this is the thing I might be 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.559 most excited to watch in all of training camp. And 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.079 that's probably a little bit of my hyperbolic nature that 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.640 I say that with. But I'm just thinking about watching 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.880 him in O line D line one v one and 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.960 seeing how far it's come. How have the hands retrained 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.360 themselves to stay inside and create better balance and better 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.200 habits and better punch and timing technique with the feet, 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.280 especially working with Butch Berry, which was the next question 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.000 for Patrick Paul. What does what does Butch do that 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.640 makes him the guy to help you unlock all that potential. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.400 I mean, he's a great old line coach. You can 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.160 go and check his track record. You know, he really 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.160 knows what he's doing, and he loves what he does. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.760 He has passion with it. And anyone who has passionate 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:08.480 what they're doing is. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:09.079 Good at it, you know. 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.280 And that's the truth. Man. I actually watched a very 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.280 coaching clinic from twenty twenty the other day. He had 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.800 a fifty minute coaching clinic online that I found, and 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.080 my goodness, this guy can articulate some very dense material 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.520 in a very understandable way. So I love the fit 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.320 there and I want to finish up with this rate. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.200 Here what he was asked about the approach mentally and physically, 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.720 what's more important for the rookies they're coming in here. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.240 Here's Patrick Paul on just that. 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.760 I'd tell you about sixty mental you know, you definitely 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.560 have to be in it, and then I'd say I'd 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.880 give the other forty to the physical. You got to 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.480 offensive line, especially just run off the ball. You got 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.720 to be able to attack people constantly. So I'd say 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.720 the mental is a big part sixty and then forty 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:46.840 to the physical. 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.600 And you heard him say it right there right running 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.080 off the football. All I got to see with the 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.800 offensive line was stance set come off the football. And 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.160 you guys saw the photos from the weekend where he's 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.160 taller than some of the players that are on the 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.080 team while he's on a knee, Like the ground that 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.200 he covers with one step is literally insane. It does 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:08.120 not look human like. He almost can you jump across 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.520 the entire street from one sidewalk to the next with 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.000 one stride, And then then you pair that with how 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.320 quick he is at that size. I think he's the 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.600 kind of player that opens up the menu in the 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.760 running game in terms of what you can get to 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.400 and I cannot wait to see how he develops and 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:27.120 gets it all working like a well oiled machine. Let's 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.160 go ahead and take our first break right there. Come 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.000 back on the other side, we'll talk about the other 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.320 two receivers the Dolphins drafted and the rest of the 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.640 draft picks and a udf Airport all that. Next Draft 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.600 Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:43.880 Auto Nation. Staying on the offensive side of the foosball 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.640 and the receivers, and you want to talk about impressive 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.800 as we recap Mini Camp twenty twenty four for your 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.160 Mimi Dolphins on the Draft Time podcast. I've been going 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.280 nuts in this podcast about Malik Washington's tape at both 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.480 Virginia and Northwestern, But listen to this man. Malik was asked, 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.320 which of the skills that you exhibited in college do 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:06.000 you think translates best to the National Football League? Here 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:07.800 is the Dolphins wide receiver. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:08.320 Yeah. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.080 I think when you get to this level, everybody's fast, 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.360 everybody can move and stuff like that. Or take who 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.440 can be the best pro who can learn the information 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.440 as quick as possible and utilize it on the field. 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.480 So I think that'll be to my advantage. I'll try 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.560 my best to do that. I'll study hard and take 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.160 that onto the NFL game play. 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.000 What's funny about this to me? Or maybe funny is 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.200 the wrong word. What's great about this? 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:27.560 To me? 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.680 The guy that he's working under made himself into a 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.040 guy that at minimum will be in the Hall of 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.200 Fame discussion for the rest of his life. Right if 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.280 he doesn't just get an outright in Wes Welker, you 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.640 dfa who was kicking field goals and returning kicks with 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.960 the Chargers and Dolphins to begin his career. I'm talking, 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.520 of course about mister Welker, and that's a standout. There's 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.560 a standard that coach Welker institutes here in Miami. Right, 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.800 you have to know all the positions. You need to 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.160 understand motions and how coverages can rotate, and that can 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.600 dictate certain side adjustments to come with that. It's studied 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:04.399 position in this offense. I mean, Jalen Right studied Raheem 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.040 Moster and that was perfect. But if it can get 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.359 even more perfecterer that word. It's Malik Washington studying under 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.680 Wes Welker. And I bet you the coach would tell you, Hell, 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.840 if I have Maliks speed, i might be first ballot 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:18.440 Hall of Fame. Let's go back to Maleak Washington on 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:19.520 learning from Wes Wilker. 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:21.160 Yeah, I mean, I'm talking to one of the greats, 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:22.960 one of the guys that I've watched this film. 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:23.680 I've watched him. 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.800 Play the game, and that's who I like to, you know, 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.240 kind of model my game after so taking some of 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.359 that criticism, taking that you know, catching that ball and 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.840 getting straight vertical, knowing the tempo and the timing of routes. 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:35.440 I think that's really important, especially when you get to 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.640 this level in the NFL, where everybody's fast, everybody's plays hard, 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:39.320 everybody's quick. 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.320 I like what you talked about there. Obviously, the timing 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.159 and temple routes is the thing I've been harping on 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.399 the entire since he got drafted. But the idea of 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.920 catching the ball and getting vertical, that teaching point is 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.440 a very critical coaching point the Dolphins have here, and 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.280 I just know Malaku is gonna take to that. Catch 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.320 the football, get up fields, put the crease between the 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.000 two defenders, and go ahead and make his moves that way. 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.840 I follow that up by asking how do you develop 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.159 that skill set? How do you develop or how can 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:08.919 you always tell when someone is is about what they 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.119 say right that it's not just lip service. You can 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.640 tell when there are no inconsistencies and when you talk 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.080 more and more to them. So I asked him, how 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.399 do you work to develop the understanding of a timing 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.720 and pacing route with a quarterback as a receiver. Let's 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:25.199 go back again to Maleak Washington. 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.680 Yeah, I think that's you know, staying in the room 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.720 with your quarterbacks standing you know comfortable and having a 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.200
