I never got 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.839 a chance to thank you for that. That was really cool, man. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.600 Yeah. I mean there are just certain people you run 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.120 into that I've run into throughout my career that you know, 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.440 I absolutely love him, do anything for. And Isaiah fits 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.120 into that one where he's just a really special human being. 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:09.440 So it was happy to help him out. 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:10.800 Yeah, he definitely was. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.480 He'd always asked me how the family was and stuff 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.680 in between, you know, walking between meetings and things like that. 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.360 So just a unique guy and really cool to be around. 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.080 And it was cool to experience that with both you 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.200 guys and see you drop that donation in there and 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.680 get him to his goal. So we wanted to talk 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.560 about the twenty twenty three NFL schedule since we released 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.400 on Thursday at eight pm across NFL Network, ESPN, all 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.040 the major networks. But we already know about two of 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.160 the Dolphins games here on the slate and fits. Let's 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.040 go ahead and start with the first ever Black Friday 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.200 football game on Amazon Prime, Dolphins at Jets. The rivalry 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.960 renewed there on Black Friday. Now you played on both 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.360 sides of this rivalry. Can you kind of forecast what 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.560 you expect the environment to be for Dolphins and Jets 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.720 the day after a holiday Black Friday in New York. 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.760 It's going to be so incredible. We're so fired up 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.920 about having the first ever Black Friday game. Obviously big 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.480 shopping day of the year, but to be in New York, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.440 to have that game with Miami in New York, to 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.320 have Aaron Rodgers in the game, you know, all the 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.040 excitement surrounding Miami. What Tua was able to do in 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.200 healthy last year. To have another year in this system, 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.400 Mike McDaniel, another year as a head coach, another years 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.440 of play caller. It's going to be such an amazing 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.520 environment and we're really looking forward to it. But that 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.400 being in that part of the country, being in New 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:36.320 York City, you know, the day before Macy's Day Parade 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.400 all that, it's going to be a pretty unreal atmosphere. 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.919 Have you thought out your on set uniform, your retire 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.160 yet for what you're gonna wear that night? 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.240 Not yet? You know what, Ironically, it's my birthday as 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:54.040 well on that day, so right now birthday suit is 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.360 in the running. But I don't know if Amazon's going 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:58.200 to go for that or not. 0:04:58.800 --> 0:04:59.320 Well, we'll see. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:00.839 Maybe you can pitch it, see what they come back with, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.440 and then maybe we can go with a compromise there, 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.080 because I think everyone wants to see that, you know, 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:05.440 that's what they came for. 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.200 Really fits yeah, I mean everybody wants access to that. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.480 So very good. 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:12.800 Well, you touched on a few things I want to 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.320 fall up here in just in a second, But first 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.320 we want to talk about the other announcement here for 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.840 the Dolphins schedule, they will travel to Germany to take 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.039 on the Kansas City Chiefs in a marquee matchup there 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.080 and fitting enough, you played in an international game once 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.640 upon time, and it was beforementioned Jets and Dolphins rivalry. Now, 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:31.400 I don't really want to talk about what happened to 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:32.560 that game fits because I'm. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.960 Sure you remember it pretty well wasn't good for us, But. 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.880 I do want to get your perspective on playing in 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.039 the International Series and how electric that scene is going 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.960 to be over there in Frankfurt. Yeah. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.359 Well, I do want to say I was on the 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.240 winning side, but that was when I was with the Jets, 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.279 not when I was with the Dolphins. But it's really 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.200 cool as players to go over there, to experience a 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:59.000 different culture, to see how excited these fans get about 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.920 the game. I mean, the thing was, there's a lot 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.760 of different jerseys in the stands, and maybe not any 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.479 of the players playing in the game, but you can 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.400 tell that there are NFL fans and there's excitement over there. 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.640 There's a lot of whistling, which is a little bit 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.320 strange as well. But I was I had the good 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.600 fortune being able to play in Wembley and just walking 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.880 out to that stadium. It gave me chills to be 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.760 able to do that in that environment, which was neat 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.039 so for Miami to be able to do it, to 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.200 be able to go to Frankfurt. I think it's going 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.040 to be an incredible game and obviously the storylines number 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:40.280 one probably being Tyreek and the Chiefs. It's going to 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:41.400 be a great game to watch. 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.599 So when you would get the schedule, you know, being 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.440 the dream in that you work, if it's going across 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.839 so many teams in the NFL, when you got the schedule, 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.520 we would you ever look back to I can't wait 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.760 to see that former team or this former team or 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.599 that former teammate or coach. Would you kind of do 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:55.520 some of that when you were playing? 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.240 Well? It happened so many times. I think for me, 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.279 the only one I really really remember and remember circling 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.320 and being like, all right, I gotta do well in 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.160 this game is when I was with Houston and we 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:11.880 played the Bills. It was the first time I'd played 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.120 the Bill since being there. I was there for four years, 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.040 so that was the probably the one time in my career. 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.520 But by the end it was the running joke, you know, 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.440 every game was a revenge game, just like now with Amazon, 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.640 it's like, okay, every week, Oh, this is fits his 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:31.840 former team. Oh fits his former team. So by the time, 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.200 I mean, the NFL is so incestuous, everybody knows everybody, 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.960 and by the time my career was nearing its end, 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.080 I had pretty much played for everybody. I guess, so 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:42.640 no more revenge games. 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.480 Well, I know Tyreek was fired up to try to 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.080 score a touchdown back and everyone. That's not going to 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:47.920 happen for him this time around. Hopefully he does find 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.560 the end zone over there in Germany. But you touched 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.560 on this earlier, throwing the ball at the tyren because 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.160 the guy that you played for or played with, I 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.680 should say, four year into a tongue Bai Lowa, who 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.400 enjoyed that breakout season last year in twenty twenty two, 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.720 I was curious, you know, your quarterback perspective, your quarterback's mind, 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.480 what you noticed about tous growth and where his game 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:06.760 is now heading into year four. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.160 Well, I think it's the perfect system for him because 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.440 it is a system that relies on accuracy, the catch 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.360 and run ball and really focusing in between the hashes 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.320 over the middle of the field, and that's something that 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:26.120 Tua really thrives on, using his anticipation, using his accuracy, 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.720 and then just having speed all over the field, you know, 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.080 at the running back position, the wide receiver position. I mean, 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.120 it's like a track team basically with the guys that 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.679 have out there. So you saw last year when Tua 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.800 was healthy, that offense was really buzzing. And a lot 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.840 of that is because it's not just him being able 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.319 to make the right decisions and being able to anticipate, 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.760 but it's the ball placement and putting it in a 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.319 place where Tyreek can catch and run or a Watta 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.200 can catch and ron. So there is not a better 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.880 system or place for Tua to be than in Miami 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.000 right now with Mike mcdanie. 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:02.640 So one of the questions I've been asking all my 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.600 interview subjects of this offseason because I went backfits and 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.360 looked at you know, Mike McDaniel and Kyle Shanahan together 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.679 in the second year in a new system for each 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.679 stop they went to always had a big increase, a 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.240 big trajectory in terms of their production, and so I 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.679 was curious from your perspective, you know, year two with 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.000 the Miami Dolphins here from Mike McDaniel's system, and not 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.360 just two with the entire offense. How that familiarity for 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.000 year two in your words, how much can that benefit 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.560 an offense to have that familiarity coming back from you know, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.760 the off season, going into camp and just already having 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.760 the groundwork from the first year, and how much you 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.440 can kind of grow in that second year of the system. 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.080 Yeah, I think you should expect to see a really 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.640 big jump, And really it starts with coach McDaniel. I mean, 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.440 first time head coach, first time play caller, So just 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.880 being more comfortable a year later, Tua, being able to 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.160 know his cadence a little bit, being able to anticipate 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.000 play calls, and then just the rapport of Tua and 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.640 his receivers and the things that they know they can 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.080 expect from each other. But all of that, there's going 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:06.200 to be less learning this year and more just chemistry growth. 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.040 I mean, the chemistry is going to be so much 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.760 better with those guys having another year under their belt, 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.520 So I expect a big jump out of them, and 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.440 definitely at a coach McDaniel as well, and just his 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:17.200 comfort level. 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.320 So speaking of coach McDaniel, you know, we love our 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.880 characters and this sporting down here, and you were certainly 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.640 loving for us here for a while fits and Mike 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.000 McDaniel has kind of become that in addition to the 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.240 football intellectual. So I kind of wanted to ask you 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.800 a two part question about coaches. One, what do you 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.640 think it would be like to play for him? You know, 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.480 a guy like yourself that likes to have fun but 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.760 can lock it when you have to. And then too, 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.560 just talk about if you can the offense that you 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.480 see from him and what he showed that first year 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.120 as a play caller, first time head coach, and the like. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.880 Well, I finally had the chance to meet him at 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:53.439 the owners meetings down here in Arizona and just talk 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.320 to him for a little bit. He's a very interesting guy, 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.839 as you know, pretty quirky guy. Definitely remind me of 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.240 an Ivy leaguer and a lot of my buddy's college. 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.319 But I think the guys, they really get them, understand them, 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.000 and like them. You know, I think, as a player, 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.800 as long as you see that your coach is consistent, 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.720 as long as you see that your coach is putting 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.600 in the work and really cares about winning and really 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.360 cares about putting his players in the best position possible. 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.800 Then that's the makeup of a good coach and somebody 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.640 you can respect. And I think he's a guy that 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.720 has done that and will continue to work on it 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.680 and do it more. But his scheme, I mean, this 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.680 is kind of the this is the go to scheme 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.040 right now in the NFL. You know, with the way 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.080 that you're able to run the ball, the way that 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.920 you're able to plug and play all these different types 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:51.840 of running backs and just consistently be able to run 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.800 the ball, then play action and find those tight windows 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.679 over the middle for the catch and run balls. It's 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.760 been so successful in San Francisco, you know, they're leading 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.120 the league every year in yards after catch. So to 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.280 be able to develop those explosive plays, but also to 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.320 have a rhythm and be able to exploit kind of 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.200 what defenses are doing now and getting smaller and faster, 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.959 this is the in vogue offense right now. And he's 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.360 a guy that is is pretty brilliant in terms of 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.160 the schemes and what it takes to be successful. 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.120 So it sounds like you keep up with you know, 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.920 your film watching, you know, post playing career because you're 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.880 talking about, you know, the different systems and schemes here. 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:32.520 Do you notice a big difference in the way you 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.000 watch tape when you were playing compared now as an analyst. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:40.760 Yeah, it's different. I mean part of it is when 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:45.200 I speak on a pregame show or a halftime or 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.760 post game show, I mean it's in a ten second SoundBite, 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.120 you know, So there's not I can't get real deep 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.440 into the weeds with some of this stuff. So a 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.560 lot of it, you know, fortunately or unfortunately, is surface 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.880 level analysis this but uh, just as a fan of 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.160 the game, loving football, that was what was so much 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.319 fun for me last year, especially guys like Sherman Witt, 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.120 who are just off the field. I mean, these guys 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.440 are obsessed with football, and so it's so much fun 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.520 every week to go on the road with these guys 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.000 and to talk about what we're seeing and feeling and 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.160 the different relationships we have. And I just think that's 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.800 what's part of what's so fresh with what we do 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.280 at Amazon is you've got these guys that are right 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.960 off the field that absolutely love football. You've got Tony Gonzalez, 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.000 who's a Home Hall of Famer, Sherman Witt are probably 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.800 going to be Hall of famers, and then in my mind, 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:38.840 you know, I've always been a Hall of Famer. So 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.880 but yeah, I just we enjoy each other and enjoy 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:43.560 talking ball. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.560 Hall of Fame, Beard, hall of Fame. Here, hall of Fame. Look, 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.080 I mean you've really got the whole package. Man. 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:48.880 There you go. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.480 Yeah, Now, you guys do a great job. It's fun 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:51.800 to watch. 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.440 It's it's definitely a different a different approach to it 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.240 than you see on most networks. And I really enjoy 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.520 what you guys put out there. I have to ask 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.520 you this because you know, we look at the skill 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.160 positions this Dolphins team has, and it's been a long 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.760 time since they had, you know, top line receivers and 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.240 explosive playmakers like they had the last last year. Now 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.560 going into twenty twenty three, man, how much would you 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.040 love playing in this offense with that has Tyreek Hill 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:14.800 and Jalen Waddle And you mentioned the speed in the 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.839 running back position. Do you kind of look back it's 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.640 like I wish I had that one point in my career. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.080 Well, I'll tell you, just just watching Tyreek play, I mean, 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.760 my goodness, there's it's just so rare that you see 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.840 a guy in the NFL that is that much more 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.720 explosive and athletic than everybody else on the field, And 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.760 you know, it's almost you kind of got to see 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.840 it in person to really believe it. But I know 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:40.840 you got a lot of it last year were you 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.080 able to watch him. And he plays so much bigger 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:45.960 than he is as well. He can go up there 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.040 and grab a ball for you in a fifty to 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.480 fifty you know, contested situation. But I think that's part 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.560 of the growth we're going to see this year. So 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.600 there's a lot of times he doesn't look open because 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.040 he's not open yet on some of those deep routes, 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.960 but he will outrun everybody in the league. So that's 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:03.960 going to be some of the growth with TUA two 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.200 is being able to figure out, you know, in the 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.400 when when am I taking those shots? What moments are 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.840 we doing these things? But then to throw in waddle 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.320 in the chemistry they have already. I'm really excited to 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:16.480 watch this offense this year. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:18.840 Yeah, it's not if he's even he's leaving it. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.320 If he's five yards ahead of you, he's it's he's 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.360 already even, right like he has. It's five more yards 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.160 of cushing. You have to give that guy fits. The 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.240 way the way this guy practices in Ota is like 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:28.920 in the month of May. Like I remember when you 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.960 were here, we had the whole like birthday cake was 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.600 it March or May? And all the birthdays forget what 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:34.080 that was. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.520 Yeah, I've got three in January, three in March, and 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:37.160 one in April. 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.680 So yeah, okay, yeah, so we had like those discussions. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.400 But you watch the way this guy goes o Ta's 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.880 it is. It is full throttle all the time. So 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:45.880 it's it's a lot of fun to watch. I have 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.560 one more for you here, Fits, And I hate to 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.520 do this to you, man, but you are pretty familiar 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.320 with coach BC Fangio. I did some digging here and 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.520 I looked at your stats against coach fangio defenses, and 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.280 you made one career start against coach You appeared in 0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.800 three other. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:00.720 Games four total. 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:02.360 And again, like I said, I hate to do this 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.800 to you here, but thirty seven for sixty five, three 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.840 hundred and sixty nine yards, no touchdowns, three picks. My 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:12.200 question is what makes the defense is so tough? You know? 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.640 I did some digging as well, Travis and I believe 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:21.640 that Vick was the defensive coordinator in Houston my rookie year. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:27.040 When I came off the bench and we won, we 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.720 were down twenty one. I threw three touchdowns and we won. 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:34.760 So you know what you're digging, I'll tell you about journalism. 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.240 Had a hard time with a vig Fangio defense. So 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:43.760 much of what I did was based off of anticipation, 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.400 getting the ball out quick, me being able to recognize 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:50.000 what a defense is doing and trying to exploit it, 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:51.880 but getting the ball out of my hand, and so 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.440 a vic Fangio defense what's difficult and why I think 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.400 some of these guys, especially an x and a Jalen Ramsey, 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.280 are really going to thrive. It's so much about the defense, 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.240 having the secondary, especially having eyes on the quarterback, being 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:11.399 able to recognize patterns and doing certain coverages by the 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.959 way that the offense reacting to the way the offense 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.199 is running their patterns. So for me, for them to 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:18.879 have their eyes on me all the time, when my 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.000 biggest thing was I'm getting the ball out as quick 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:22.800 as I can. I'm going to try to explete this 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.640 defense and get it in my athlete's hands, they had 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.720 the ability to watch me. They didn't have their back 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.199 to the quarterback. They were able to recognize and study 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.240 what an offense does and the patterns they were going 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.600 to expect. And so as long as they can generate 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:42.080 pressure with four guys, his defenses have always been very, 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.399 very successful. So I think it's a great pickup. I 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.280 think he's well respected in the league. You know, Sean 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:52.600 Payton really wanted him, you know, and obviously Miami had 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.000 already locked him down. But I think it's going to 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:56.920 be awesome. I think there will be some growing pains 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:00.399 because it's so different from what Miami had done the 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.159 last few years with Flores and then with Boyer. It 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:08.360 is so different, But in the end, I think we're 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:12.720 going to develop in a pretty good defense. Obviously, historically 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:14.800 for him, he's had a pretty good track record. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.199 Yeah, my dude, diligence only back twenty ten there when 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:19.320 he was working for the forty nine ers, So I 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:20.679 should have known better than trying to get one up 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:21.080 on you there. 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.800 No was like I knew that I never did well 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.800 against him, so I was so happy to see, you know, 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.080 five he was with the Texans, so I could say 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:33.679 that because it was always he was always tough to 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:34.680 go against for sure. 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.280 Yeah, we're excited to have him done. Here great stuff 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.880
