How's it going everybody? I am your host, 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.159 Travis Wingfield, and as always, each and every day, I 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.479 am here to bring you your daily dose of Miami 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.880 Dolphins football. And on today's show, that's a rap from Chicago, 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:41.800 at least as far as the practices are concerned. A competitive, 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.559 at times chippy day produced plenty of good results in 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.960 all areas. Will tell you about the wins, some of 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.440 the losses, where the team sits heading into their first 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.640 preseason game in two years, give you the matchup of 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.360 the day, the top performers here from coach and Solomon Kinley, 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.240 and give you all the practice notes from Chicago. This 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:07.880 is the Drive Time Podcast. And before we go forward 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.800 today on the Drivetime Podcast presented by Auto Nation, I 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.880 wanted to go ahead and cover coaches media from today, 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.200 which covered something I thought was important to get to 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:22.000 today because of the opportunity the back and forth type 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.560 of practice on Wednesday provided the football team and for 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.560 those that didn't hear. Wednesday's practice saw a change of 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.000 course a couple of times with going outside, then back inside, 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.520 and finally back outside once more. So I asked coach 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.080 on Thursday morning, how valuable was that? Given the football 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:44.240 to me at least is essentially a contest of overcoming adversity. 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.680 Let's go to coach. It was great for us. We 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.120 get lightning in a game, we gotta go in, we 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.520 gotta wait until passes and then come back out. So 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.160 another report that, but for us as a team, as coaches, 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.040 how we would handle that. We came in here, we 0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.680 huddled up. Hey, we're gonna do this when we go 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.040 back out another delay. Hey we're gonna we gotta wait 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:04.480 a little bit. We gotta stretch them this long. We 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.760 gotta stretch them a little longer. We gotta do some individuals. 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.799 And then I thought we went out and had good energy, 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.359 good juice, and and uh, you know, finished practice out. 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.600 So I think it's a good rep for us. I mean, 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.520 you guys all know in South Florida there is sometimes delays, 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.520 and we gotta be you have to be ready to adjust, 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:26.679 be flexible, and you know, still perform opener against the 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.680 tendency tightens. The longest game in National Football League history 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.040 last year, Week two against the Buffalo Bills. A lightning 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.080 delay as well our thunder delay in that game as well. 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.080 I can't remember either one thunder, lightning. It's all the 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.919 same to me. But it wasn't just the adversity they 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.959 dealt with. It was working to make corrections, to get 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.760 the film dissected, get it corrected, and go out there 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.560 and apply those lessons on the practice field. And for 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.760 this question at the press conference, coach was asked specifically 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.520 about how the defensive line performed, but it gave him 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.120 an opportunity to talk about going from day one to 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.480 day two and making the corrections overnight and just kind 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.680 of the process of training camp where you put the 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.000 film on, take a look at things, make corrections, and 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.280 try to get better the next day. Here's coach. I mean, 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.560 I thought they you know, did some good things. You know, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.760 I think you in this type of environment, it always 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.480 comes down to fundamentals and techniques um and some instances 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.639 they were good, some instances they weren't good, and the 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.280 route the results normally, you know, play out as as 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.280 you think they would when they're good. And conversely when 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.280 they're not good. So, um, you know, we made a 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:34.080 lot of corrections yesterday. Um, hopefully we'll have another good 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.280 day today, you know. And then again it's good to uh, 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.480 you know, see a different opponent, different schemes, different skill 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.360 sets from the receivers, from the alignment, from the tight ends, 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:49.040 and uh, it's good for us. I mean we need that. 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:50.280 I mean that's what it is in this league is 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.920 different every week. And you heard coach there say hopefully 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.160 we have another good day. So if coach thinks there 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.360 was a good day of practice, I tend to agree 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.720 with him. So he also updated us there that there 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.480 would be no Davante Parker, Albert Wilson, or will Fuller. 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.640 Leam Eichenberg was also out. He was dressed and warmed up, 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.920 but he did not participate in anything beyond stretching and 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.920 warming up and going through some of the individual stuff 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.280 in the beginning of practice. Coach told us he would 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.640 be held out after he was nicked up and Wednesday's 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.800 practice against the Chicago Bears, and he also touched on 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.760 the ramp up of players coming back from those injuries. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.000 Regarding Jalen Phillips, for instance, he said that they were 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.120 not going to take a guy up to seventy snaps 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.080 on his first day back, So it's about working Phillips 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.240 back in or a guy like Mike Gasicki, for instance, 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.839 who just returned back from the COVID list. A different, 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.120 different idea than injuries, but getting a guy to get 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.359 his legs back under him. And we saw plenty of 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.640 that today with Mike Gasicki. More on that later, and 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.760 Vince Biegel did not practice today, neither did Brandon Jones 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:50.039 or Derval Kirez Netto. Coach also praised the attention to 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.440 detail of safety Javon Holland and what he's shown. A 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.479 smart kid who drills the technique and fundamentals as coach 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.520 loves to go back to, but also wants to let 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.320 us know it, it's not just about the four or 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.159 five plays that everybody sees that goes into the stat sheet. 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.159 He's played Javon five hundred snaps give or takes so 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.320 far in camp so far and the four or five 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.719 plays good or bad, Because we'll come back to that 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.960 layer in the podcast, good or bad are not the 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.200 ultimate deciding factor of what that player ultimately is. He 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.719 talked about it last year with Xavian Howard or Manuel Ogba. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.240 How it's not about the nine sacks or the ten picks. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.560 It's about the one thousand snaps a starter at cornerback 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.720 place or the seven eight hundred snaps a defensive end 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:32.720 will play. And he's mentioned that a lot over the 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.200 last two seasons, and I'm glad that he does because well, 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.640 I hope he sinks in that it sinks in rather 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.560 because he's absolutely right, and for whatever reason, I don't 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:45.120 always see it sinking in across all platforms. Finally, these 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.279 joint practices are always going to inherently come with a 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.360 bit of chippiness, and that's the product of competition. Right. So, yesterday, 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.400 when there was a very minimal skirmish will call it 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.159 between Alan Hearns and Tease Tabor after a hit in 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.359 the defensive secondary, Flow got out there to help break 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.920 things up, and he jokingly said at his press conference 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.719 today that he was playing the role of bouncer on 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.000 that play and to finish up my nose before practice here. 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:10.839 The last audio I was going to deploy for you 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.320 guys was Flow talking about seeing different schemes, employers and 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.920 different types of pass rush moves, but he covered that 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.279 in the previous answer I played. I didn't think of 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.440 that before the show, but he talked about seeing different moves. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.480 I thought that was very valuable, like for instance, and 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.640 the one on one drills on the offensive line where 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.360 the Bears guys would throw something out a guy and 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:30.800 they would beat them and then they'd come back and 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.640 have to adjust and show progression against the move or 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.920 the possible counter to that move. I just think these 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.080 practices are so valuable. We get to do it again 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.200 next week against the Atlanta Falcons too, So I think 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.280 that taking advantage of not just O T S and 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.040 being back on the field. You heard coach talk about 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.640 five hundred snaps for Javon holland he'll see, you know, 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.480 at least five hundred more practice snaps going forward, as 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.880 well as some practice, some game reps in preseason games 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.800 and the joint practices in addition to the training camp 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.880 and the O T A s. To go against the 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.640 Falcons two days, the bear As two days, and to 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:02.800 have those three games, I think when you put that 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.720 together with a coaching staff that harps these things, the fundamentals, 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.359 the techniques, the things that take no talent, but also 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.120 ultimately drive success of a football team. And I think 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.000 those are the types of things that have allowed the 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.840 Dolphins to play above their head as far as what 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.920 the projection was the last couple of years. Right back 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.840 in twenty nineteen, the projections did not say five wins 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.640 for that football team. And I no coach won't say 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.680 the five was good enough, but that was not what 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.360 was expected of that team last year. I believe for 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.800 most accounts it was between seven and eight wins for 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.120 that club. They go out and win ten games last year. 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.760 So I think that's the reason why this team's insistent 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.200 on the fundamentals, the technique, execution of those things. I 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.360 think that's why they're capable of winning more games than 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.160 people typically think they will as far as the pub 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.560 public goes, the national media goes, whatever it might be. 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.600 And I think that the addition of those things we 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.480 didn't have last year in a off season shortened by 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.800 a global pandemic, I think that's going to play in 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.160 the Dolphins advantage this year and going forward. All right, 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.520 let's go ahead and jump right in. Today. I was 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.240 right at the fifty yard line on the far field 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.840 where the Dolphins offense was working defense on the far 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.280 field on the opposite side of the practice facility. Yesterday 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.160 I was in the end zone, so some good vantage 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.120 points scattered about the gorgeous facilities out here at Lake Forest. 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.520 In fact, one of my favorite parts of the day 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.240 was a Dolphins fan and his son coming up next 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.520 to me looking out over the back of the bleachers 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.440 into that forestry area. I talked about with the train 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.800 tracks on the railroad and something or he said something 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.720 to himself kind of an earshot of me, but also 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.400 talking to himself look at this romantic setting, and I 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.040 was like, hey, he's talking about me. So I great 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.119 to meet a fan of the team and the podcast 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.000 and your son as well, Tyler. Great to meet you 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.920 guys before practice there. On that note, as a matter 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.959 of fact, I saw so many awkward jerseys the last 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.240 couple of days, and not just among the few Dolphins 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.640 contingencies or families I saw there in attendance. There were 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.360 so many Bears families where there was one kid in 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.199 the group and it was like little Travis back when 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.480 he was twelve years old, rocking the number one to 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.920 a tongue by lower jersey me with number thirteen Damn 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:11.719 Marino Jersey. Love love seeing that. And then finally I 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.920 met a great family from the area here in Chicago, 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.480 and it was a father, daughter and the grandparents, and 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.640 the little girl was just the most adorable thing I 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.719 had ever seen in my life, besides my little girl, 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.880 of course. So we got to talking about girl dad 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.000 life and just seeing the grandfather's face light up every 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.880 time she did something right in the fields. Man made 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.280 me miss the hell out of little Caroline days coming 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.520 home in three days a little girl hang tight. All right, 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.560 Enough with the onion chopping, let's talk some football. I 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.920 want to start today off with the backs and offensive line, 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.199 because the run game got it going today. In fact, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.920 the offensive line as a whole had a terrific day. 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.120 In my eyes, they were back to back periods one 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.520 from the thirty or thirty five I always forget. Typically 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.560 the eleven on eleven field stuff is run anywhere between 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.760 the minus thirty and forty yard line, And when you 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.480 hear me say minus or plus minus means you're on 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.320 your own out of the field. Plus means you're on 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.240 the opposite side of the field going into the end zone. 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.040 So just keep that in mind. For future reference as 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.760 far as verbiage goes, But the Dolphins opened up gap 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.760 after gap in that first period and then could not 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:13.880 be held out of the end zone except on a 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.480 couple of occasions in that red zone period. First the 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.040 run game, and let's you know what, let's go back 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.200 to the running backs. First, I was watching them in 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.400 the past protection drills, and the appreciation I have for 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.280 Miles Gascon grows every single time I have fixed my 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.679 eyes in his direction. First, I just love what he's 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.319 all about. He communicates the level of professionalism that he 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.800 presents on the football field. He does that in his 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.120 press conferences. You get a better field for how he 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.559 works and how his mind works when he talks to us. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.200 And then just the workman like mentality he has on 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.040 the football field. They were going through pass protection reps 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.600 and let me go ahead and just set the scene 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.200 for you here real quick. So the same pads I 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.600 talked about the offensive line using yesterday. The back gets 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.840 into a pass set and one of his teammates, a 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.840 fellow running back, grab that pad and rush in and 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.640 the back has to prevent that momentum from continuing. How 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.000 do you do this? Well? It starts with the base, right, 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.800 That's all of sports, the base, the footwork. That's where 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.160 everything starts, whether it's a baseball swing, a golf swing, 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.240 in basketball, everything starts with the base. And Miles gets 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.920 into the crouch, steps up with the hands and feet 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.240 at the same time. That's so important. Don't lunge and 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.160 then throw the hands, because then you lose your power 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.440 from the base. But he throws it all together at 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.880 the same time, like I talked about yesterday with Derve Ball, 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.280 Kiras netto and fires an upward and explodes up through 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.160 the block into the pad to square that thing up perfectly. 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.559 And then he carried this over into the team periods 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:40.560 of practice. He checks all the parts of a three 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.800 down back. And I think it's pretty clear that his 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.560 experience and his skill set and what he is to 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.839 this football team fits anything you want to do, and 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.439 you cannot measure the value that he presents because of that. 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.480 He had some nifty runs today also to take advantage 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.240 of those big lanes created by the offensive line. And 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.360 we can't know this without going inside the mind of 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.720 Myles obvious sleep, but it looked to me like he 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.800 was setting up some of those blocks to really help 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.360 his guys get in the right position to create space. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.559 I mean, sometimes the running back can be just as 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.440 responsible for a good blocks alignment because he puts you 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.000 in the space where he gets behind you and your man, 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:15.640 and that makes it easier to block right because you're 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.720 squared up. And once again he caught a bunch of passes, 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:20.960 and he does it on a variety of routes. You 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.200 go back to his dub career, he started, he just 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.520 started good there and got better every single year. It 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.440 took until the end of his rookie season here to 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.760 really get cranking. That Bengals game. He had some production 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.360 the Giants game, I think too. Maybe then he enjoys 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.600 what is by all accounts a breakout year and year 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.199 two and I think it would have gotten recognition as 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.680 such if he had played all sixteen games. And I 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.640 think he looks a step faster this year. So who 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.720 knows what will happen in year three. From Miles Gascon, 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.040 I'm very excited about his prospects and it was a 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.280 day for the Backs in general. Savon Akhmed continues to 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.920 show that speed as there aren't many guys that can 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.880 win the foot race to the corner against him. He 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.040 just super fast. Then he is showing real strides as 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.440 a past receiver, catching balls over the middle, out wide, 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.000 whatever you want him to do in the passing game, 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:06.320 he's contributing that way as well. Jared Oakes, speaking of 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.280 the pass Pro drill, you could hear the bag popping 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.280 every time he took a rep. He also showed some 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.480 more strong runs and tight quarters today. He always pushes 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.240 the pile forward. Speaking of pushing the pile forward, the 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.040 back of the day was Malcolm Brown, and what a 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.000 welcome sight to see him have sort of a breakthrough 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.920 performance of sorts. I don't know how many touchdowns he 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.880 scored today, but it was a lot. At one point 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.280 he broke out the corner McGregor walk because he powered 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.320 through a stacked up pile of bodies into the end zone. 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.000 The reff come running in, the rest come running in 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:36.880 with their hands up over their heads, and he breaks 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.560 up the McGregor walk, and he deserved it because it 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.839 was probably not even joking. Guys like his fifth or 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.880 six touchdown on the day, and most of them came 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.319 from the goal line period obviously, but he also scored 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.480 two runs in the red zone one a fifteen yard 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.160 run untouched and another run from the ten yard line 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.479 into the end zone through a couple of arm tackles. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.679 Both those lanes were cleared in behind Solomon Kinley, who 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.840 stepped in for Liam Eichenberg who missed practice today and 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.640 had what I thought Oloman his best day of camp 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.600 so far. He had a media session with us after 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.120 practice and touched on looking from Malcolm Brown his position 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.160 on the team. But I thought the best part of 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.560 his media which is always a treat for us, was 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.760 when he was asked about what he's looking forward to 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.000 most about his first preseason game of his career, and 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.120 he said it's been so long since they've played a 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.920 game of any kind that he's excited to be able 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.160 to be on TV so his mama can watch him play. 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.680 Perfect answer, Solomon. He was also asked about the message 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.600 to a tongue of Byloa has given the line this 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.560 camp and this offseason, and he said, Toua just tells 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.520 us that he loves us, that we're family and he 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.160 loves us. That's all we need. Kind of a Kumbaya moment. 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.800 They're very cool from Solomon Kindley and to wrap up 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.920 his media before we get back to the football. I 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.120 asked him about the run game and how much fun 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.800 it was to have success in that area today, and 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.400 he said, what we all know, every lineman loves to 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.000 run the football. So I followed up and asked him 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.640 what contributed to the success of the running game today. 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.920 Here's Solomon, no doubt office. We love running football. So yeah, 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:04.440 was that was good? Oh? You know, dis great greet anger, 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.960 you know, given effort, that's all offensive. I'm in great 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.720 anger and effort. That's definitely what Solomon excels in. He 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.600 was clearing some past that that way and just blowing 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.400 guys off the football. And if we can get those 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.480 big dudes up front leaning on people like they did 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.720 today with all the speed on the outside, the proficient 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.240 nature of two in the quick game, with the ball handling, 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.240 the footwork, the rpo action, all of that, that can 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.240 be a perfect compliment to what this offense wants to be. 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.280 Big day from Solomon Kinley. I thought Jackson, Deeter, Hunt, 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.400 and Davis all had good days. To the entire offensive 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.760 line was good today. It was just one of those days. 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.280 It's just one of those days for the offensive line. 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.280 The protection was mostly good. Now, in the first period, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.360 the passing offense was a little bit stuck in neutral 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.000 and some pressure was the main culprit of that. But 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.800 after those big runs, they carried the work over into 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.280 the red zone and started creating some nice pockets. I 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.760 thought Jackson and Hunt were big winners on Day two. 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.000 In the two days really actually, I should say, and 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.320 Davis had more good match ups with Khalil Mack. Now, 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.560 you're not gonna win all those matchups because well he's 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.920 Khalil Mack. But we also saw him get some surge 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.120 in the running game as well. He and Adam Shaheen 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.520 and Drham Smith and had some good blocks off the edge. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.560 But he also with Rob Hunt had some awesome combo blocks. 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.520 And Hunt continues to get to that second level with 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.520 a lot of success. And then Deeter, he was in 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.320 there on a few of those big runs we talked about. 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.080 He helped push some piles in short yardage, showing that 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.080 power I talked about in the podcast. Again really encouraging 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.680 from the group up front and among the second group 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.920 of offensive lineman. I thought Pinky had a really good 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.240 day and this was a carryover from what I thought 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.360 was a good camp last year, and then good work 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.640 as the extra offensive lineman into the game and heavy 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.480 personnel last season, and then some good work when he 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.400 was pressed into duty at tackle as well after injuries. 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.440 Also Matt Scura and Cameron Tom Tom was getting some 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.760 good push on some of those jokes touchdown runs and 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.080 Secura Sakura Matt Scura not Tom. Segura, one of my 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.520 favorite comics, had one rep that I particularly loved where 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.720 he had to get outside and seal a man to 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.680 open a gap on a reach can. Showed some of 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.200 the athletic ability to get out in space, turn it, 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.119 seal that thing off and he did it, so that 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.479 was good to see. And then Robert Jones also got 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.399 some run game surge. I want to go ahead and 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:10.680 make sure to mention that because I put it in 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.600 my notes. Didn't have anything else than him, but he 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.120 was getting some push in the running game. How about 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.479 the quarterbacks? Thought this was probably Jacoby Brissette's best day 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.080 of training camp. He launched one deep to Kai Loxley, 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.160 who made a great diving catch on the one on ones, 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.800 but he was decisive, put the ball on target and 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.840 moved the offense a bunch, including his own touchdown barrage 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.480 in the red zone. Work hit a nice little touchdown 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.080 flip to Chris Myrick as he moved outside and and 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:35.960 Mirack was kind of chasing him to the pylon. He 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:37.960 flips that thing to myrack for a touchdown. And I 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.600 have no idea how many balls today or in camp 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.480 he's completed to Isaiah Ford, but it's a ton. Ford 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.679 made a big play on a fifty fifty ball and 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.280 one on ones and caught a couple of quick hitters too. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.760 The Dolphins operation on those plays with the quarterback catches 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.680 the snap, rocks and throws, just quick operation at sharp 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.080 bang bang bang between two and Brissette. And finally he 0:17:58.160 --> 0:17:59.680 had one of the throws of the day where he 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.480 found Robert Foster for a tough contest and catch. But 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.720 Jacoby stood in the pocket with good protection, but coverage 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:07.720 made things get tight and dicey at the end, and 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.639 he stood in there in the face of pressure and 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.760 a slowly collapsing pocket and delivered a strike. Now where 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:14.600 the Bears got him was seven on seven. That was 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.920 a tough period for the Dolphins second team offense, but 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:18.719 they would pick it back up in the next period 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.000 as for twa. I just want to speak to the 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:22.959 body of work for him this camp, because I know 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.600 you guys are inundated with tweets and reports and all 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.760 this stuff, not just from me but everybody on the 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.119 beat every single day, every single pass. It can be exhausting, 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.520
