Speaker 1: Two on the move, going deep Speedways past hell peaced
Speaker 1: from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 2: This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 1: Heasy my ad hands in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: What is up, Dolph Fans and welcome to the Draft
Speaker 3: Time Podcast. I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on
Speaker 3: today's show, Day six on the field is in the
Speaker 3: books as we head into break number two, no practice
Speaker 3: on Wednesday, and so with that, I want to make
Speaker 3: this show a three fold show, a three segment show.
Speaker 3: We'll do it across the three segments. Here today's practice notes.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about this year's draft class and
Speaker 3: I want to give you eight big picture thoughts I
Speaker 3: have from six practices, and as always, we will support
Speaker 3: that with audio from the guys. Plenty of clips that
Speaker 3: cho from today from the Baptist Health Studios inside the
Speaker 3: Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 4: This is.
Speaker 3: The Draft Time parts. We're going to do additional practice
Speaker 3: notes in the extra points form for segment number three,
Speaker 3: but I'm also going to funnel today's events into these
Speaker 3: bits and get you the larger picture thoughts with the
Speaker 3: practice notes infused on this Tuesday and the first thing
Speaker 3: I want to discuss is the way this draft class
Speaker 3: has looked six days into camp, and not to extrapolate
Speaker 3: entirely from just those six days, because I believe that's foolish.
Speaker 3: The more camps you come to, the more you know
Speaker 3: where to not get out over your skis, Because like
Speaker 3: I was the leader of the Eric Azuokama about to
Speaker 3: be that dude bandwagon back in year one, and he
Speaker 3: didn't play an offensive stap un to the last game
Speaker 3: of the year between you and I, I don't think
Speaker 3: he's caught to pass since day one of practice. So
Speaker 3: there's always lessons to be learned in doing this, and
Speaker 3: one of those lessons is you're not going to be
Speaker 3: right all the time. But I want to give you
Speaker 3: a wide berth here of takes and takeaways to hopefully
Speaker 3: hit a good percentage of those. But I also think
Speaker 3: it's worth acknowledging what you see early because I remember
Speaker 3: seeing some various NFL content through the years where they
Speaker 3: would be micd up or they'd have like behind the
Speaker 3: scenes type of content, and in some of those pieces
Speaker 3: of content, you'll see teams talk openly about it right away,
Speaker 3: like yeah, this kid is going to be a big
Speaker 3: part of our plans. I remember the first season of
Speaker 3: All or Nothing, and gosh, that was so good. That
Speaker 3: was before the oversaturation of content. I think where now
Speaker 3: it's like I've seen too much and I just we
Speaker 3: have too many options for content. But that first year
Speaker 3: and it came out like in June, right when football
Speaker 3: shuts down, and the Cardinals like knew right away what
Speaker 3: they had in David Johnson, and they were like, we're
Speaker 3: gonna go kind of slowly ease him into this and
Speaker 3: we're going to have him be a bell cow come Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: And then he was their guy, like the offensive you know,
Speaker 3: the guy that the offense went through by the time
Speaker 3: the playoffs got there. And I say all of that
Speaker 3: to tell you guys that I'm watching this draft class.
Speaker 3: Just make plays every single day. And another tip of
Speaker 3: the cap here to Kyle Krabs because we were talking
Speaker 3: about it. He said, Hey, Travis, I think this draft
Speaker 3: class is.
Speaker 2: Like really good.
Speaker 3: And I was like, you know what, Kyle, it is
Speaker 3: because all these guys keep making the notes every day.
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and make a segment talking about this
Speaker 3: year's draft class. And it begins in the first round.
Speaker 3: And I don't think that you can point to five
Speaker 3: guys collectively cumulatively over six days that have had a
Speaker 3: better training camp than Chop Robinson. The speed and get
Speaker 3: off is very real, and he's really just showing the
Speaker 3: fastball rate now too, right because as he goes along
Speaker 3: and we talked to Kendall Lamb about this earlier in
Speaker 3: the week, he'll develop his breaking pitches. But he's using
Speaker 3: the explosiveness and I've really noticed great hands and the
Speaker 3: ability to keep guys out of his chest to chop
Speaker 3: no pun intended their hands away, and to use the
Speaker 3: lineman's body to gain leverage. You know, he's played the run,
Speaker 3: he's provided pressure, he's been absolutely stiller, and today he's
Speaker 3: split this double team. I've seen him beat guys one
Speaker 3: on one pretty consistently, but today Lamb like fanned out
Speaker 3: and Ingold step up into the big gap to help
Speaker 3: on him, and he went right through both of them
Speaker 3: and got to the quarterback, Like, come on, dude, this
Speaker 3: is a guy that's been playing NFL football for six
Speaker 3: days and that's a decade plus vet who he got
Speaker 3: who's played at a super high level, and the best
Speaker 3: fullback in the league who was otherwise popping everybody that
Speaker 3: came into sight today, and later in that period they
Speaker 3: throw this quick screen behind Chop and he retraces his
Speaker 3: rush path and flags it down. It's been fantastic from
Speaker 3: my vantage point. In fact, the only guy that I
Speaker 3: think is consistently won against Chop has been second round
Speaker 3: draft pick Patrick Paul. I think he's showing great growth
Speaker 3: already and how he's seeing things getting to his landmarks
Speaker 3: and his assignments. Nothing in particular rely today outside of
Speaker 3: the fact that I think there was a little bit
Speaker 3: more like in game type of pass protection calls in
Speaker 3: terms of the play action and rolling pockets and you know,
Speaker 3: pulling guards that peeled back and hit their pass protection.
Speaker 3: Like I saw him executing that at what I thought
Speaker 3: was a high level, and it was just an another
Speaker 3: solid day for a guy that's been very solid all
Speaker 3: camp long. In the second round. In the third round,
Speaker 3: Jalen Wright continues to flash his quickness, his speed to
Speaker 3: the perimeter, those jump cuts I've talked about, you know,
Speaker 3: I saw him getting some pass pro work in today
Speaker 3: on Tuesday where he was stepping up and sticking guys,
Speaker 3: you know, getting behind the pads and really playing up
Speaker 3: through his base into his upper body to make that
Speaker 3: strike and to make those guys feel that punch. Impressive
Speaker 3: looking prospect man, a guy that I think has a
Speaker 3: nice long career ahead of him, hopefully all for the
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins. Mohammed Kamara has made a lot of plays
Speaker 3: and been an impact rusher all camp long. There's this
Speaker 3: whole concept of speed and get off and throwing off
Speaker 3: the protection plan because of how it resets immediately when
Speaker 3: you have you know, two or three guys that have
Speaker 3: one point six ten splits getting off the snap and
Speaker 3: like Chop had a pressure today where he was in
Speaker 3: the backfield like one point five to three seconds in
Speaker 3: the Stopwatch. And the way he's been able to bend
Speaker 3: through contact and shorten that corner because he can maintain
Speaker 3: his speed and balance with that ankle flextion, the ankle
Speaker 3: strength right where he dips and bends the arc. What
Speaker 3: an impressive athlete. And I just love love his mental makeup.
Speaker 3: I asked him last Tuesday, the day before we started practice.
Speaker 2: I was like, Mo, you're ready to go, man, what's up?
Speaker 3: And He's like, I can't wait to put my bleeping
Speaker 3: hat on someone. And I'm like, yep, that tracks of
Speaker 3: the podcast we had back in the summer when he
Speaker 3: was the most high energy guy that kind of matched.
Speaker 3: You know, my energy here on the podcast doesn't happened
Speaker 3: very often, but Moe brought a lot more than I
Speaker 3: can even bring you guys here on Drive Time in
Speaker 3: the sixth round, Malik Washington has been feasting in the
Speaker 3: short to intermedia areas and the way he snaps off
Speaker 3: his routes and sinks those hips into the routes, it's
Speaker 3: gonna make him an immediate available option and a trustworthy option.
Speaker 3: I think right away for two a tongue of by
Speaker 3: low and he's playing very fast, which tells me that
Speaker 3: he's as advertised in terms of how he prepares and
Speaker 3: how he fits in this offense, with his strengths being
Speaker 3: aligned with how this offense ticks and goes, and that's
Speaker 3: only going to increase when we get beyond six days
Speaker 3: of training camp. I think there's a clear role for
Speaker 3: him in this offense if he stayed on top of
Speaker 3: his stuff and continues to progress the way he has.
Speaker 3: He did, however, and I want to just you know,
Speaker 3: throw a little bit of cold water here on the fire,
Speaker 3: because you look at his tape and everyone's like, oh mol,
Speaker 3: he can do everything from college, right, But there was
Speaker 3: a reason he went in the sixth round. I think
Speaker 3: that reason is the lack of vertical skill set when
Speaker 3: it translates to the next level. He could do it Virginia,
Speaker 3: but I don't think it's going to be his game
Speaker 3: here because there was a vertical route in one on
Speaker 3: ones where he stacked need him but just could not
Speaker 3: pull away from him and it ended up in a
Speaker 3: big collision as Needham played through the football made a
Speaker 3: great play himself.
Speaker 2: But you know he feasts in.
Speaker 3: The shorts, short areas, the screen game, the take a
Speaker 3: carry game, take advantage of all that space they just
Speaker 3: created from overplay on the deep passes and the deep
Speaker 3: routes from waddle in Tyreek, and just focus on that
Speaker 3: part of the football field. I thought Patrick McMorris had
Speaker 3: some really good reps in coverage and one on ones
Speaker 3: today versus the backs and tight ends, and has always
Speaker 3: shown his salt in some of the special teams and
Speaker 3: how he gets after those kickoffs going down the field.
Speaker 3: Taj Washington unfortunately out for the year, but there are
Speaker 3: some undrafted guys who I think have had better camps
Speaker 3: than some of the guys that got drafted who also
Speaker 3: have a great shot here too. And it starts with
Speaker 3: Grayson Murphy, who I would say, like Chop and Kamara
Speaker 3: have been great, but Grayson has if at all, I'll
Speaker 3: put Chop at the top, but Grayson's right there with
Speaker 3: Moe in my opinion in terms of performance, I saw him.
Speaker 3: I've seen him long arm and hold the edge, shed
Speaker 3: a block and go make a tackle. I've seen him
Speaker 3: convert his move inside to fit the B gap. I've
Speaker 3: seen him bend the corner with that same bendability and
Speaker 3: ankle strength inflection I talked about from Mo Camara. Just
Speaker 3: these guys that are so well established and built from
Speaker 3: a just like a big bone, men like a composition
Speaker 3: right like they're just so strong. And today I saw
Speaker 3: him fall back into the hook zone and coverage and
Speaker 3: follow Mike White's eyes to a near pick and he
Speaker 3: dropped it. And he was very upset with himself that
Speaker 3: he dropped it. But you got a sense of the
Speaker 3: feel for the route concepts in the route depth and
Speaker 3: just the football IQ displays. In my opinion, he is
Speaker 3: making this football team. Leonard of Pain the UDFA from Colorado,
Speaker 3: who won every time he won with peer speed at
Speaker 3: Colorado had an absolute screamer of a speed rush today
Speaker 3: where he got into the backfield immediately and Storm Duck
Speaker 3: made another PBu today. That's three splash plays in two days.
Speaker 3: By my account, I am fired up for this class.
Speaker 3: I think it has a chance to be pretty special.
Speaker 3: And with all the vet talent you know, eight players
Speaker 3: in the top one hundred NFL player voting, gosh, that
Speaker 3: bodes well for not just twenty twenty four, but first
Speaker 3: sustained long term success if it turned out to be
Speaker 3: the case with this rookie draft class. All Right, speaking
Speaker 3: of vets and big picture takeaways, we're gonna go ahead
Speaker 3: and take our first break quickly here and come right
Speaker 3: back and talk about eight things that I think I
Speaker 3: think from the first six days of training camp. That's
Speaker 3: after the break Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,
Speaker 3: brought to you by Auto Nation, Segment two on this Tuesday,
Speaker 3: July the thirty from the Baptist Health Training Complex, and
Speaker 3: again a similar disclaimer to the first segment, I'm not
Speaker 3: signing this in pen. In fact, I thought about my
Speaker 3: high school basketball coach writing this out. He used to
Speaker 3: use that term a lot with us with the lineup.
Speaker 3: He'd tell us, like, these three seniors are in the
Speaker 3: lineup in penn and right now you're in pencil. I
Speaker 3: think it's like a motivation tactic. These are all in pencil,
Speaker 3: but they aren't just there off of the first six days.
Speaker 3: It's the first six days of camp combined with OTAs
Speaker 3: and then the film study, going back to the additions
Speaker 3: in March and April and so on and so on.
Speaker 3: So up first, the first thing that I think from
Speaker 3: camp so far and the off season program and all
Speaker 3: that fun stuff is that Jordan Poyer is the real deal.
Speaker 3: And I wrote this first because the pick that he
Speaker 3: had on Tua in practice today was a rep that
Speaker 3: I've just seen too many damn times with Poe, going
Speaker 3: back to twenty seventeen, picking off Ryan Tannehill, picking off
Speaker 3: Jay Cutler, picking off Ryan Fitzpatrick, picking off Josh Rosen,
Speaker 3: Like who has he not picked off the Dolphins quarterback
Speaker 3: where he's kind of him and Micah Hyde, you know,
Speaker 3: disguising and operating from different roles, from different positions and
Speaker 3: different looks, where he's keying and reading and mumping footballs
Speaker 3: in that deep hook zone from that backside robber roll,
Speaker 3: and that's exactly what he did right here. He got
Speaker 3: under a two to a throw to Braxton Barrios and
Speaker 3: took it up the sideline for a nice return. And
Speaker 3: just like his presence, the way he talks, there's some
Speaker 3: ish to him, right and I use that as a
Speaker 3: PC level word here. He didn't mince his words when
Speaker 3: he got here, and I felt like on day one
Speaker 3: he went out there and kind of made it a
Speaker 3: point to set the tone with his physicality, as if
Speaker 3: to make a point of we will not be that
Speaker 3: same Dolphins team who the last two years kind of
Speaker 3: crumbled a little bit when things got tough down the stretch.
Speaker 3: And again there was so many injuries. So I hate
Speaker 3: to put it on the makeup of the team, but
Speaker 3: I think that anytime you can kind of lift that
Speaker 3: aspect of your team and get tougher and get more
Speaker 3: mentally tough, that's a good thing. And I think that's
Speaker 3: what Jordan Poyer brings. And I think we've seen a
Speaker 3: few of the additions who will see to that, like
Speaker 3: Kaleis Campbell, and You're not gonna be a SOF football
Speaker 3: team on Kalias Campbell's watch Jordan Brooks, I mean, talk
Speaker 3: about some ish to a guy John hus Smith. I
Speaker 3: just love what we have cooking with this current makeup
Speaker 3: of our team, in addition to what they had previously,
Speaker 3: with all the talent and captain level presences that we have.
Speaker 3: And so Poyer has his presence being felt in production,
Speaker 3: but he's also had this big impact on his teammates.
Speaker 3: And I want to play some sound here from Elijah
Speaker 3: Campbell on a second. But first I want to go
Speaker 3: ahead and get to Elijah Campbell because he is number
Speaker 3: two on this list that I don't think Elijah Campbell
Speaker 3: is going anywhere in terms of how much involvement he's
Speaker 3: had on the defense, A guy that was largely a
Speaker 3: special team contributor since twenty twenty one when he tore
Speaker 3: his ACL mid season that year at the game at
Speaker 3: the Jets, And that was after he had this crazy
Speaker 3: trip through football where he was a UDFA to the Browns,
Speaker 3: got cut from that team, went through the AAF, that
Speaker 3: defunct football league, through the XFL, and then got an
Speaker 3: opportunity with the Jets and was not medically clear to
Speaker 3: play because of a heart condition. And then he winds
Speaker 3: up here at the Dolphins, and he's been here since
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, but now it looks like he's right
Speaker 3: to take that next step and be a contributor as
Speaker 3: a safety in this defense. He was in the Orange
Speaker 3: Jersey today, which I didn't have that prediction. I had
Speaker 3: it earlier in the week, but almost feels like a
Speaker 3: cumulative type of award to him. He was flying all
Speaker 3: over the field and making more plays in this practice.
Speaker 3: He seems to really be settling into that role on defense.
Speaker 3: And Kyle made this nice comparison today that I thought
Speaker 3: was apt, saying that he reminds him a little bit
Speaker 3: of Geno Stone for the Ravens last year as this
Speaker 3: kind of sub package or big nickel safety for the
Speaker 3: Ravens defense under Mike McDonald and Anthony Weaver, and Geno
Speaker 3: Stone was a critical part of the variety of multi
Speaker 3: safety packages the Ravens did run a year ago. There's
Speaker 3: really really sound fundamentals as a tackler, which is why
Speaker 3: he's so good on special teams. And then also the
Speaker 3: understanding of coverage responsibility, because I saw the last couple
Speaker 3: of days, really these deep balls they're not open. They're
Speaker 3: just not open against these safeties who are so connected
Speaker 3: and communicating and staying on top with the roof on
Speaker 3: top of the defense to keep all these speed threats
Speaker 3: and vertical threats in line. And scrolling around my timeline,
Speaker 3: I saw a tweet from a Bengals reporter that talked
Speaker 3: about Zach Taylor, Bengals head coach, discussing having that same
Speaker 3: guy Gino Stone and Von Bell, both free agents they
Speaker 3: brought back to Cincinnati this year. And you might recall
Speaker 3: they had Bell two years ago with Jesse Bates, who
Speaker 3: for my money is the best safey in the National
Speaker 3: Football League, and the last year both those guys left
Speaker 3: to go to the Panthers and Falcons, respectively, and they
Speaker 3: had two young safeties step in in Dax Hill. I
Speaker 3: think it was Yeah, I think it was Dax Hill
Speaker 3: and a newcomer and Nick Scott, who was a kind
Speaker 3: of also ran for the Rams and it didn't work out.
Speaker 3: They regressed big time. And Taylor said this year, when
Speaker 3: you have veteran safeties who have played a ton of football,
Speaker 3: everything shifts forward. And I'm thinking about Poe who's been
Speaker 3: around for a decade, for Javon Holland who's played upwards
Speaker 3: of three thousand snaps, Elijah who's been a pro since
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, and Marcus May who broke in back in
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. There are so much veteran experience back there
Speaker 3: that it makes sense that Miami for the last three years,
Speaker 3: I would say, has hit their fewest amount of deep
Speaker 3: balls in practices. Let's go ahead and throw out real
Speaker 3: quick to Elijah Campbell who talked about this safety group
Speaker 3: and all the experience in that room.
Speaker 5: Paul Marcus May, I forgot to mention him great experience too.
Speaker 5: They've been great. I mean they've just been offering a
Speaker 5: lot of knowledge. I mean just today there's a went
Speaker 5: to the sideline and Marcus May was telling me just
Speaker 5: certain ways that I could hold shells and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: So I think just their experience anytime you can have
Speaker 5: experience out there, especially someone like Poe oh Man. Poe Man,
Speaker 5: he's got a lot of knowledge in the game, so
Speaker 5: he's helped me tremendously.
Speaker 3: So the third thing that I think is the exact
Speaker 3: same copy and paste, but with Quentin Bell, I mean,
Speaker 3: you keep checking in each day to be like, is
Speaker 3: this the day Quentin Bell slows down? And the answer
Speaker 3: is always No, He's been awesome all camp long. I
Speaker 3: talked about his edge setting, using that long arm to
Speaker 3: keep the outside free to disengage or force the beck
Speaker 3: to bend back his track inside. And Daniel was asked
Speaker 3: about him this morning and gave an even more fired
Speaker 3: up answer than what I've been doing watching Quentin Bell
Speaker 3: and practice.
Speaker 6: Can you tell us fired up that he brought up
Speaker 6: q He's uh, he's uh. You you You learn so
Speaker 6: much about players based upon how other players react. And
Speaker 6: when he gets an edge of a lineman and and
Speaker 6: uh is is creating a hurry pressure or sack or
Speaker 6: he's long arming while set in the edge, people lose
Speaker 6: their minds. And I think that's because here's a guy
Speaker 6: that comes to work every day with with no excuses,
Speaker 6: doesn't doesn't tally how many opportunities he gets. He makes
Speaker 6: the most of the ones that he does get. And
Speaker 6: because of that, when you have that type of mind mindset,
Speaker 6: you get more and more opportunities. So at a cool
Speaker 6: spot in his career in his development, you know, working
Speaker 6: with Ryan Crow, and I'm excited about the football that
Speaker 6: he is in store form.
Speaker 3: And remember my interview with Quintin on I believe it
Speaker 3: was last Thursday. You heard it and you felt his
Speaker 3: likability from the workmen like mentality, and I love how
Speaker 3: coach got so pumped to talk about it. He was
Speaker 3: fist pumping at the podium. I feel like Mike is
Speaker 3: genuinely more capable than most at this level, at his
Speaker 3: position as a head coach to be able to relate
Speaker 3: to someone who's made that tough climb to an opportunity
Speaker 3: because Mike himself was an underdog for so long, right,
Speaker 3: so very cool to see and just to expand this bit.
Speaker 3: If Quinton is here to stay, and if Chop and
Speaker 3: Mow and Grace and Murphy are what they've shown this week,
Speaker 3: what's one of the big storylines we heard about all
Speaker 3: spring and summer, like when do two and fifteen get back?
Speaker 3: And rightfully so, I think they're the best edge combination
Speaker 3: of the NFL, which has a defense that has the
Speaker 3: best cornerback combination of the NFL. Well, perhaps this length
Speaker 3: the runway just to tad when you have young, hungry
Speaker 3: guys like this absolutely seizing this opportunity. Number four is
Speaker 3: the defensive line remake, and it's just been a different
Speaker 3: guy every day, Like first off, I saw Zach today sprint,
Speaker 3: not run, but sprint through the sideline pursuing Tyreek on
Speaker 3: a quick out. I just feel like eight figure players
Speaker 3: who finished near the top of the leader board in
Speaker 3: a few of the categories at their position, they don't
Speaker 3: do that in period one of a July thirty practice
Speaker 3: like sometimes they do. But a guy like Zach who's
Speaker 3: never stopped working, like the UDFA he was who got
Speaker 3: cut by his first team, it shows up every day
Speaker 3: in practice. Khalais Campbell was awesome. More on his battle
Speaker 3: with Liam Eichenberg later on, But the rest of the
Speaker 3: room is kind of my point here. I've seen Neville
Speaker 3: Gallimore stack wins with quickness. I've seen Tart do that.
Speaker 3: I've seen Benito Jones do that and inflict his size
Speaker 3: on dudes. I've seen Jonathan Harris hold his gap in assignment.
Speaker 3: It's just a good looking room that has so much
Speaker 3: more depth than it has in the past. Thing Number
Speaker 3: five that I take away from camp so far is
Speaker 3: two and Wattle are the best they've ever been, and
Speaker 3: Wattle is catching everything. They were doing a half speed
Speaker 3: walk through install at one point early in practice, and
Speaker 3: through this ball that was too high to him and
Speaker 3: in a less than jog speed, he elevates like thirty
Speaker 3: five inches off the ground and just plucks this heater
Speaker 3: from Tua effortlessly, more effortlessly than my one hand catch
Speaker 3: that you guys saw at practice to day. And then
Speaker 3: he goes out in team and makes these diving catches.
Speaker 3: I think that he's a little more carved up, a
Speaker 3: little bit quicker, a little bit twitchier, and I have
Speaker 3: not seen him let a ball into his body yet.
Speaker 3: Everything is hands catching, And that was the only issue
Speaker 3: I had in his whole game was how he would
Speaker 3: elevate for balls that he could just run under, and
Speaker 3: how he would high point balls at his belly a
Speaker 3: post to his hands going up, and he has not
Speaker 3: done that one time. You know, I saw Jalen win
Speaker 3: an out route too. This is a quick aside against
Speaker 3: outside leverage from Jalen Ramsey and one on ones. To
Speaker 3: release inside and stack on top and get back to
Speaker 3: the perimeter is you have to be world class, and
Speaker 3: that's what Wattle is. To win that route against a
Speaker 3: world class quarterback. You talk about ownership of your craft.
Speaker 3: That was the one thing I felt, you know, Jalen
Speaker 3: had to really go up in the next level and
Speaker 3: he's come back after all those videos you saw all
Speaker 3: summer and it's a straight up strength of his game now.
Speaker 3: It's so impressive. Speaking of ownership of your game, today,
Speaker 3: Tua had Tua plays where I was like, Sir, I
Speaker 3: was not familiar with your game, and you're talking to
Speaker 3: the guy that has been standing this guy since twenty eighteen.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 3: He took this drop where he started to roll out
Speaker 3: to the right to execute a play action fake, but
Speaker 3: then spun back to the left and then rolled back
Speaker 3: out sprinting, beating the defensive lineman Zach Seeler to the edge,
Speaker 3: and then opening up the hips to throw this awkward
Speaker 3: off platform throw and it just drills Tyreek in between
Speaker 3: the numbers. Then he comes back in the short yardage
Speaker 3: period and runs a more natural bootleg where he fires
Speaker 3: another shot the Tyreek on the move to move the chains.
Speaker 3: He's quicker and McDaniel talked about today. I absolutely love
Speaker 3: this answer, not just for what it means for Tua,
Speaker 3: but what it means about how McDaniel views things like this.
Speaker 6: You're always adapting to the skills of your of your players,
Speaker 6: and as as you you have more experience and you
Speaker 6: start to see how players are utilizing that mobility, you
Speaker 6: you adjust eligibles. Maybe if there's a primary uh part
Speaker 6: of the progression, you change the backside a little bit,
Speaker 6: just distributing the field more than trying to be the
Speaker 6: coverage so that if you do break from the pocket,
Speaker 6: you have an eligible ditchit to your thoughts, you know,
Speaker 6: I'm always just trying to adjust to all the players game.
Speaker 6: So you know I think, uh, that component I think
Speaker 6: with his focus UH definitely adds to his game, which
Speaker 6: adds to what we can do as an offense.
Speaker 3: And off of this, I saw to a throw that
Speaker 3: glance swing concept with more juice than I ever have.
Speaker 3: This is a play where the back motions across and
Speaker 3: stays in the flat. You run the tight end up
Speaker 3: the seam on the glance route, and you might have
Speaker 3: another wheel route on the outside to the perimeter that
Speaker 3: creates that high low conflict on the swing to give
Speaker 3: you kind of a three points of attack in that
Speaker 3: particular part of the field. You've seen this a million times,
Speaker 3: we run it all the time. And the way to
Speaker 3: a threaten the edge with his legs, Buddy, I have
Speaker 3: not seen that before and it has me thinking about
Speaker 3: the additions we can get with RPO, like gosh to
Speaker 3: go off what I just played from Mike's audio. So
Speaker 3: from there he has the back all alone. But then
Speaker 3: he no look, rips it up the seam to John
Speaker 3: Hu on the glance and it shifted the entire defense
Speaker 3: over to the flat. So if John does not drop
Speaker 3: this pass, he might have scored on the play. Thing
Speaker 3: Number six is we should pay a lot more attention
Speaker 3: to the impact that butcher Berry has in this football team.
Speaker 2: I was so.
Speaker 3: Excited to get here and tell you guys about this
Speaker 3: cool moment that just gets lost in the ether if
Speaker 3: nobody sees it, at least outside of the building.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: So Liam had this plague today in practice where it
Speaker 3: was his best practice of his career in my opinion,
Speaker 3: just exceptional in his sets with good mirror ability to
Speaker 3: the rusher, got consistent surge in the running game. And
Speaker 3: the best moment to me was me, let me find
Speaker 3: the play in my notes here, because Tua had this
Speaker 3: twenty yard hole shot to Anthony Schwartz into the triangle
Speaker 3: of defenders that you get in that middle intermediate part
Speaker 3: of the field with the safety corner linebacker all converge
Speaker 3: and on the play, Liam anchored against Khalais Campbell Kalaius
Speaker 3: Campbell right, and Butch goes storming towards the line of
Speaker 3: scrimmage like he's about to choose somebody's butt out, But
Speaker 3: that's the opposite of what he did. He's barking at
Speaker 3: Liam and gives him a chest bump and kind of
Speaker 3: like you know, puts his weight onto him, and Liam
Speaker 3: shoves him back, and then Butch starts like fist pumping
Speaker 3: like you do on a scramble when your boy holds
Speaker 3: out from sixty yards off the green. I am very,
Speaker 3: very intrigued by what I saw from seventy four today
Speaker 3: and just the general growth of the offensive line. You're
Speaker 3: gonna hear lots of about the snaps today, which they're
Speaker 3: an issue at this point, but they should be with
Speaker 3: a new operation on the interior, like if you just
Speaker 3: trust me and knowing that that's something that's gonna be
Speaker 3: very wise right across training camps and should be a
Speaker 3: non issue right now, Like, don't worry about that right now.
Speaker 3: But Aaron Brewer was awesome today. We saw a little
Speaker 3: bit of Tea Stead, Austin Jackson. This guy you can
Speaker 3: set your watch to now. I thought Rob Jones was
Speaker 3: excellent today. I thought the offensive line in general just
Speaker 3: whipped butt in the one on one portion. In fact,
Speaker 3: let's go to Rob Jones who talked about his third
Speaker 3: year in the system and how he feels like right
Speaker 3: now he is seeing it very very well.
Speaker 7: On the year three in the same system year two
Speaker 7: with the same old line coach. Man, you know, you
Speaker 7: just being able to just you know, be in this
Speaker 7: for a second, you know, for years, and just you
Speaker 7: know what's going on. You don't really got to think
Speaker 7: too much. You know, you know, you know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 7: You know we're gonna do combinations, we gonna do and everything.
Speaker 7: And we got the same old line coach. We know
Speaker 7: what he wants from us. And you know, as I
Speaker 7: get older, you know, just like t State, I always
Speaker 7: talk about his technique, so like, you know, I get
Speaker 7: my technique down. Everything, Like the confidence is just keep building,
Speaker 7: keep building. So like going this year, I'm just more
Speaker 7: confident myself just because I've been in here. I built
Speaker 7: the same old line coach. I know what they want
Speaker 7: from me. I know, I go for myself and I
Speaker 7: know what I need to do to have the team.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: See I wanted to tack on at the end here
Speaker 3: because Tron Armstead, as he is wont to do, explained
Speaker 3: something really perfectly. And look, I will never push a
Speaker 3: panic button preseason, much less July. But yes, there have
Speaker 3: been those snap that should I talked about. I think
Speaker 3: the best way to cover this is to hear from
Speaker 3: a guy. Don't take my word for it, take it
Speaker 3: from the offensive lineman who's played at a decade plus
Speaker 3: at a Hall of Fame level in Tron Armstead.
Speaker 8: Yeah, those the starters specifically too and Ab. They just
Speaker 8: get more toime on task, get more reps. It's different.
Speaker 8: I was actually talking too about it yesterday and he
Speaker 8: was kind of explaining the differences between like AB snap
Speaker 8: point compared to Connors or Liam is all different. So
Speaker 8: maybe he got a squad or reach or you know,
Speaker 8: but that only comes with Tom. So the more they
Speaker 8: get those reps which they are and those that gate
Speaker 8: cleaned up and disappear. But early in camp you see
Speaker 8: some mishaps like that and some operational issues.
Speaker 3: Thing number seven is Jalen and Kendall are about to
Speaker 3: be a problem, not allowed to explain here. I just
Speaker 3: think we have maybe the best cornerback tenem in the
Speaker 3: national football and they have something no other top tandem has,
Speaker 3: and it's that they might be even better inside than
Speaker 3: they are outside. And I don't think people realize how
Speaker 3: rare and special and beneficial that's going to be.
Speaker 2: Number eight.
Speaker 3: Is there our double maybe triple the amount of options
Speaker 3: for team captains as we will actually have this season,
Speaker 3: Like if there's eight captains, there might be twenty four
Speaker 3: guys worth it. Maybe sixteen might be closer. I just
Speaker 3: don't know how you make the selection this year. Think
Speaker 3: about guys that have been captains here elsewhere or who
Speaker 3: have elevated themselves into leadership roles, whether it's Tua Tyreek,
Speaker 3: Raheem Alec. I think Austin Jackson's in that category now.
Speaker 3: I think Durham smyth is, I think kalay Is Campbell,
Speaker 3: I think Jaylen phillips is. I think David Long, Jordan Brooks,
Speaker 3: Anthony Walker, Jaylen Ramsey. I think Kendall Fuller is that guy.
Speaker 3: He is that guy pell. I think Jordan Poyer is
Speaker 3: definitely in there. I think Javon Holland was a Captain Victa, like,
Speaker 3: how the hell are you going to narrow that down?
Speaker 3: And it helps curate an intensity. I talked to Oj
Speaker 3: on the Fun on the phone a little bit today
Speaker 3: the Fun and told him about the short yards live
Speaker 3: period and how I got juiced up and how it
Speaker 3: got a little bit chippy out there, and he said,
Speaker 3: that's a requirement in camp. He says, if you're not
Speaker 3: getting a couple of fights every camp, then you're not
Speaker 3: going hard enough.
Speaker 2: So all around good stuff.
Speaker 3: Let's go back to Tea Stead, who gave us another
Speaker 3: sound bite here on what that short yarch period meant
Speaker 3: because it was the first time in the Mike McDaniel
Speaker 3: coaching tenure that they went live. That means live, tackling
Speaker 3: to the ground, full heading. You're playing real live football.
Speaker 3: WHI shaw the lines do on a hard knocks a
Speaker 3: couple of years ago. The Dolphins haven't done it in
Speaker 3: two years. They did it today. Here's to Ron Armstead
Speaker 3: on why you do that?
Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot of those are especially like you would
Speaker 8: show yardage competition today. This is much less about the technique, honestly,
Speaker 8: just about competing. I want to whoop his Let's get
Speaker 8: the first down let's talk after. That's really it. We work,
Speaker 8: but we were about the steps and all that later.
Speaker 8: But the defense jumping off size, we jumping this snapper,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. It's just competition. But that's
Speaker 8: what you want to see. Who's able to rise up
Speaker 8: to that competition to win that period, That's what That's
Speaker 8: what you want to see. It's not a technique drill.
Speaker 8: It's not a sure you get to step down note.
Speaker 8: Let's go whoop.
Speaker 2: I could probably do twelve more of these.
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and cut it off right there and
Speaker 3: land this plane the remaining practice points. That's next Drive
Speaker 3: Time podcast to your host, Travis Wingfield, brought to you
Speaker 3: by automation. Let's finish up the practice notes here in
Speaker 3: the extra points form quick hitters if you will. River
Speaker 3: Craycraft continues to make plays, including a very nice back
Speaker 3: shoulder spinning, leaping, pirouetting catch in the one on one periods.
Speaker 2: It was so beautiful.
Speaker 3: Go Koog's also he's a new father six weeks into it,
Speaker 3: and congratulations to River and missus Craycraft.
Speaker 2: They're very happy for you.
Speaker 3: Man thought Sir ran Neil had a very nice day,
Speaker 3: including a good rep on a fade to Tyreek where
Speaker 3: he really shortened the window in the back corner of
Speaker 3: the end zone. And then cater Cohu was fantastic, his
Speaker 3: best day of camp so far. He made two plays
Speaker 3: that showed his grit and that determination where he was
Speaker 3: right there, but the pass is still caught because it's
Speaker 3: two and it's perfect to eight chan and waddle and
Speaker 3: it looks like receptions, but cater stays through it and
Speaker 3: rakes the hands and gets the PBu on both of
Speaker 3: those plays. Jordan Brooks I might be the biggest Jordan
Speaker 3: Brooks fan in the world. He was fantastic once again,
Speaker 3: particularly playing fast and physical downhill. He's a guy who
Speaker 3: was awesome before the pads came on and has gotten
Speaker 3: even better with the pads on. And I love this
Speaker 3: answer about how to fit into a new locker room
Speaker 3: and how to increase connectivity with new teammates. And this
Speaker 3: is why I think JB is a great captain option.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta sit down and eat lunch with people,
Speaker 4: maybe even go to lunch with somebody outside the building.
Speaker 4: You gotta do little things like that. I really pride
Speaker 4: myself on doing that, just really getting to know people
Speaker 4: on a personal level. Even if we never play with
Speaker 4: each other again, it's like, you know, we built that relationship,
Speaker 4: but just from experience is just playing ball for a
Speaker 4: number of years, like anybody you know on a personal level,
Speaker 4: you can play that much harder for them, you know,
Speaker 4: like I really know this guy, so I can really
Speaker 4: go to war with him when it gets tough in
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. And at front seven, you know, the
Speaker 4: D line, linebackers, really everybody, but really that front seven
Speaker 4: we really got to be like this, And so you know,
Speaker 4: that's something I try to emphasize a little bit more
Speaker 4: in the past, I haven't been great with it, just
Speaker 4: kind of being reserved, but just kind of just sititting
Speaker 4: next to guys and just picking their brain.
Speaker 3: Also thought Jack Driscoll had one of his better days,
Speaker 3: located some blocks well, moving in space. I thought Ethan
Speaker 3: Bonner had a very good day running the vertical routes
Speaker 3: with some of these guys.
Speaker 2: And that's probably good right there. Oh, some news before
Speaker 2: we got out of here.
Speaker 3: Coach did say that Cam Smith's injury will not compromise
Speaker 3: his camp nor exhibition games, so we should see from
Speaker 3: him pretty soon.
Speaker 8: Here.
Speaker 3: He was working off to the side today and we
Speaker 3: saw Odell Beckham running full field sprints today, so that
Speaker 3: looked really good to see him out there. And then
Speaker 3: also the last note here before the Orange Jersey predictions,
Speaker 3: you guys probably saw the video of Gilan Phillips playing
Speaker 3: catch with fans in the stands. I jokingly stood up
Speaker 3: and called for the ball, not thinking he would throw
Speaker 3: it to me, and he saw me and cut that
Speaker 3: thing loose and I snagged that be one handed. And
Speaker 3: I want to tell you why the throw was so bad.
Speaker 3: And this is excuse making. I understand you guys don't care,
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna go ahead and fire off anyway. So
Speaker 3: those rows in the stands are very narrow, so my
Speaker 3: feet are hanging over the edge, so there's no step,
Speaker 3: there's no stride up to my target shoulders. That's not
Speaker 3: the correct throwing motion. And there is a roof about
Speaker 3: three feet over my head, so I cannot throw this
Speaker 3: ball with any height whatsoever. That's why it was a
Speaker 3: bad thrill. Okay, you want to be throw football over
Speaker 3: the mountains, I can do it. If coach put me in,
Speaker 3: we would have one to state. I'm just telling you,
Speaker 3: guys that Orange Jersey prediction for Thursday oh for five.
Speaker 3: Let's get one right here. Chop Robinson's number one for
Speaker 3: my pick. Cater Cooho is second and Liam Eichenberg third
Speaker 3: on my Orange Jersey predictions for Thursday. Cannot wait to
Speaker 3: show you, guys how wrong I was on that. Cannot
Speaker 3: wait to have a day off and then get back
Speaker 3: in here and do it all over again for day seven.
